After three failed levy attempts, millions in budget cuts, growing class sizes, fee increases and program reductions, the Lakeville School Board took action Monday to preserve the district’s fall levy plans. State Senate language included in the Minnesota Legislature’s Omnibus Tax Bill prohibits school districts from asking voters to approve operating referenda this fall for fiscal year 2015. The School Board took unanimously passed a resolution at its May 14 meeting declaring its intent to seek a levy referendum this fall, allowing the district to seek exemption from the provision. Language allowing dis-
tricts that pass such a resolution is expected to be included in the provision if it remains in the bill. No levy amount was set, but Board Member Jim Skelly indicated he would like the levy amount to be determined before Pan-O-Prog, Lakeville’s annual summer celebration July 4-14. According to an April community survey the district commissioned to Springsted, there is growing support for a levy in the community. Springsted concluded that more than 50 percent of voters would support a tax increase of $168 on an average $230,000 home, and reported an increase in the number of people indicating they are “undecided,” about a levy, a facSee LEVY, 15A

The unprecedented flooding at Cherry View Elementary proved an exercise in quick-thinking for all levels of Lakeville School District staff. Cherry View Elementary head custodian Jeff Mohn reacted to the water main break immediately, turning off the boiler and a water main into the building. As city crews searched for the private fire hydrant’s main valve to turn off the current, Mohn opened school building doors, warned others while rushing to reduce damage and usher water out of the building. Cherry View staff called Cherry View Principal Paul Helberg, who was in a meeting, warning him water was pouring into the hallways. He said he arrived 10 minutes after the flooding started. “By the time I got here it was pretty bad,” Helberg said, adding water greeted him when he walked in the main entrance. “I got on the phone with the district office and said I need some support over here right away,” Helberg said. “We need to put some contingency plans in place. It doesn’t look like we can hold school right now, so let’s get the ball rolling on where we’re going to evacuate kids to.” District Superintendent Lisa Snyder was at the building within a half-hour of his call. “Paul said a water main broke, and the school’s being flooded as we speak, and the kids are in route,” Snyder said.

Equine therapy program in jeopardy Majestic Hills Ranch owner struggles to provide services for children, veterans by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A nonprofit therapeutic ranch dedicated to providing free or low-cost, life-changing therapy for injured veterans and disabled children is in need of rescue. “We need funding badly,” said Kim Howard, owner of Majestic Hills Ranch near Lakeville. “This is a very expensive venture, and we’d like to keep our services going.” Howard founded the therapeutic riding program in 1997 after witnessing the transformation a therapeutic riding program had on her granddaughter, Jackie, who suffered numerous life-threatening illnesses before she died five years ago at 19. Jackie was born with a disease that affected her airway and was only expected to live three to four years. At 6, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and endured chemotherapy treatments that caused intense muscle pain, leaving her unable to walk or lift her legs. Numerous failed therapies later, at Howard’s suggestion, Jackie tried therapeutic horse riding and the change was immediate. The excitement of riding the horse
helped her ignore the pain, her smile returned and there was dramatic physical improvement. “After riding for a few days, she was rollerblading and riding her bike,” Howard said. “She was riding her horse quite a bit every day, and then she started to walk.” Howard bought Majestic Hills with hopes of helping other children going through similar challenges and in 2010 expanded the ranch to provide free “Heroes on Horseback” programs for veterans suffering physical and/or emotional effects from their service. Just being at the rolling 106-acre ranch with chirping birds, fresh breezes and blooming flowers brings a mental calm and clarity for veterans, many who suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, Howard said. Trained volunteers help riders onto the animals and closely monitor them as the horses are gently led and controlled throughout the experience. Riders gain confidence and strength, stretching muscles, while improving balance and coordination, helping riders to focus and develop social skills. See THERAPY, 15A

Sobriety High that serviced Lakeville students set to close Charter school has campuses in Burnsville, Coon Rapids by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
James Hinze of Farmington said he “always hung around the bad crowd” and abused all kinds of drugs and alcohol. After emerging from treatment two years ago, he found good friends, good counsel and continuous reinforcement at his new school, Sobriety High’s Alliance Academy in Burnsville. “It’s good, because I can relate to pretty much everybody here because we’re all fighting the same fight,” said Hinze, 16. “Whenever, like, something happens, I can always come to these people at school and they help me, unconditionally.” Hinze’s sophomore year, which concludes June 7, will be his last year at Alliance Academy, which opened in 2004. Money problems are forcing Sobriety High to close both of its campuses, in Burnsville and Coon Rapids. “I heard about the school closing, it must have been like two weeks ago,” Hinze said. “And I was devastated, because this school has been my life for,
like, two years.” The charter school campuses are closing because they’ll be a combined $400,000 short of the funds needed to hold school next year, said Paul McGlynn, Sobriety High’s executive director and a former teacher at the Coon Rapids site. “The issues are financial, really,” he said. “We’ve had lower enrollment and less cash flow due to that lower enrollment. We’ve struggled with maintaining our staffing.” Holding school next year would require “more staff cuts, and we really don’t have any staff left to cut,” McGlynn said. Sobriety High is losing a donor who gave $200,000 to $300,000 a year for 15 years. The donor is frustrated that the school isn’t more self-sustaining, McGlynn said. As a charter school, Sobriety High also receives state per-pupil funding. But the funding is based on a cumulative “daily membership” count, and Sobriety High’s enrollment fluctuates greatly during a school year. This year’s daily membership is 57
between the two campuses, but 142 students have come through the doors, McGlynn said. The campuses have to staff up for the larger numbers, he said. “Intake is the most staff-intensive part of our time,” he said. Most of the transience in student population is a function of some students returning to substance abuse, according to McGlynn. The Burnsville campus, located in rented office space at 12156 Nicollet Ave., has 23 students but has had as many as 45 in past years. Money troubles forced Sobriety High, which was started in 1989 in Edina, to close its Maplewood and Edina campuses after the 2009-10 school year. McGlynn said closing of the Burnsville and Coon Rapids campuses will leave only two sober high schools in the Twin Cities: Insight Recovery School, run by the White Bear Lake public schools, and P.E.A.S.E. Academy, a charter school in Minneapolis’ Dinkytown area. “It is a crisis to a small number of people,” McGlynn said. “I think there used to be as many as 22 years ago. But it’s been dropping over the last 10 years,
more pronounced, I’d say, in the last five.” Treatment-based referrals are the source of most of Sobriety High’s students, McGlynn said. Hinze, who attended Farmington’s Dodge Middle School, said he was ordered into treatment by his parents. “They just got sick and tired of me stealing from them and doing all this stuff,” said Hinze, who came to Alliance Academy his freshman year. “I can pretty much talk to anybody here: any teachers, any students,” he said. “It’s not like a mainstream school. The teachers here actually have an opportunity to get to know you, and they care about you.” Afraid of falling back into his old ways, Hinze plans to attend P.E.A.S.E. Academy next year instead of Farmington High School. It’s about a 40-minute bus ride from his stop in Apple Valley, he said.

Farmington’s Garofalo votes yes on gay marriage amendment by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A late amendment to legislation allowing gay marriage in Minnesota turned state Rep. Pat Garofalo’s vote from “no” to “yes” last Thursday. The Farmington representative, who attends All Saints Catholic Church in Lakeville, said it was a “religious freedom amendment” that turned the tide for the five-term Republican. Garofalo was one of four Republican House members to approve the bill in the 75-59 margin. The Senate followed with a 37-30 vote Monday to pass the bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday. Garofalo stressed the importance of the amendment offered by Rep. David FitzSimmons, RAlbertville, on “civil marriage” going onto the bill as a reason for his vote. “For me I was a ‘no’ vote on the bill, until Rep. FitzSimmons offered his religious freedom amendment to protect churches and faith-based organizations,” Garofalo said. “And ultimately, that’s what moved me to a ‘yes’ vote.” That provision, Garofalo said, was his “price for voting ‘yes.’ ” “The lawyers say this is strongest religious freedom legislation in the nation,” Garofalo said. FitzSimmons, with a go-ahead from House bill author Rep. Karen Clark, DFL-Minneapolis, a lesbian lawmaker, successfully amended the bill to insert the word “civil” in references to marriage. FitzSimmons, who voted for the bill, said the addition of the word was to make plain that what happens in the courthouse and what happens in a church, synagogue, or mosque in terms of marriage are two
different things. Clark’s legislation contained a provision stating religious organizations, associations or societies have sole control over their doctrine and that a licensed or ordained minister cannot be fined, penalized or subject to civil liability for refusing to solemnize a marriage for any reason. FitzSimmons’ provision was not enough for other area Republicans in the House or Senate to vote yes. Sen. Dan Hall, a volunteer police and fire department chaplain in Burnsville, a former volunteer chaplain at the Capitol and the founder and former CEO of the nonprofit Midwest Chaplains, said the legislation could spark civil disobedience. “Don’t fool yourself today,” Hall said of thinking the vote ended the samesex marriage debate. “This document will split our schools, our churches, our towns, our counties, our state,” he said. “It will hurt businesses and confuse children, more than any single issue has ever done since the Civil War.” “People ask me, ‘Sen. Hall, don’t you want to be on the right side of history?’ The truth is, I’m more concerned about being on the right side of eternity,” Hall said. Rep. Pam Myhra, RBurnsville, said children have a right to have a mother and father. Another Republican representative who has figured prominently in the gay-marriage debate has been Mary Liz Holberg of Lakeville. For a time, Holberg carried the amendment legislation while then-Sen. Michele Bachmann carried it in the Senate. Anti-amendment advocates at rallies once wore T-shirts with photos of Holberg and Bachmann
on the front. Asked whether conservatives were on the wrong side of history in regard to same-sex marriage, Holberg questioned it. “I don’t know if it’s the wrong side. I think we’re on the side of the majority of Minnesotans,” she said prior to last Thursday’s vote. Holberg carried the amendment the first time because she chaired the House Civil Law Committee and was concerned about perceived judicial activism. “But others wanted to take up the banner, and that was fine with me,” Holberg said. The marriage debate has been emotional. “There were threats on my family’s life. I wasn’t allowed to be outside the Capitol alone,” Holberg said. Republicans were spit on in the Capitol corridors after passing the amendment two years ago, she said. But she would temper her comments, Holberg said, by adding she has had conversations with Sen. Scott Dibble, DFLMinneapolis, Senate marriage legislation bill author. “And many of those bad things he suffered as well. So I think the bad behavior occurs on both sides on the issue,” Holberg said. Holberg has found the marriage debate frustrating. She recalled meeting with a woman who told her she would change her mind about same-sex marriage if she attended a corn feed that the sister put on. “It’s pretty sad, because that’s not what this about. It’s not about people being nice,” Holberg said. “It’s about a definition of marriage and what that means.” When asked if she thought the state would
legalize same-sex marriage prior to the vote, Holberg said: “I don’t think Minnesota is there yet. I really don’t.”
Issue discussed Garofalo said he spoke to some local Republicans about his intentions prior to last Thursday’s vote. He believes he has their support. “The response from conservatives has been overwhelmingly positive,” Garofalo said. “Religious freedom is a very important issue in my district. A critical issue. And people understand my motivations and are very supportive of it,” he said. Civil unions would have been a better choice than the legislation passed by the House, Garofalo said. “(But) I feel like given the position power I have (as a House minority member), I thought it was the best I could do,” Garofalo said. One Republican lawmaker who has taken tough votes and been sanctioned for them by his caucus is Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka. He believes Garofalo
had the right to make up his own mind. “My opinion is people have the right to vote their conscience on these social, moral issues,” Abeler said. Abeler doesn’t foresee Garofalo running afoul of the House Republican Caucus, or, for that matter, the Republican Party. “It would be just their locals,” he said. “If they represented their locals well, nothing will happen.” Carleton College Political Science Professor Steven Schier said the marriage vote could dog Garofalo. “Regardless of broader district opinion, active Republicans in their districts are likely to have strongly opposed gay marriage and will not forget this vote at the endorsement conventions,” he said. A Democrat who did not flinch pushing the green “yes” button was first-year Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan. “I’m going to vote for equity,” Halverson said prior to last Thursday’s vote. “Personally, it’s something that I have known my truth about for a very, very long time,” she
said. Halverson came to this truth, in part, by observing the love in same-sex families, she said. She’s hopeful the marriage vote won’t become campaign fodder. “What I’ve heard from constituents falls very much in favor of (marriage) equity,” she said. The decision for Halverson may have been made easier by last fall’s amendment vote. In House District 51B, Halverson’s district, about 38 percent, voted “yes.” Halverson said during the floor debate that families aren’t all the same. For instance, her children are adopted. “(But) when it comes to moms, they don’t get more real than me,” she said. Currently Massachusetts; Connecticut;, Iowa; Vermont; New Hampshire; Washington, D.C.; New York; Maine; Washington; Maryland; Rhode Island; and Delaware have legalized same-sex marriage.

Expensive, outdated plan for Lebanon Hills will pave paradise by Maryann Passe
Guest Columnist
SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Just a two minute walk into Lebanon Hills Regional Park leaves the city behind. It is a rare park where you can find isolation and a sense of wilderness without having to drive for hours. This 1,400-acre minimally developed woods and wetlands, right on the edge of the populated Twin Cities, is valuable green capital for Dakota County. By next year city life will encroach into this parkland. A 7.5 mile trail will be plowed and paved right through the middle of it. More paved trails, buildings, and parking lots are part of Dakota County Park’s proposed 10-year master plan for Lebanon Hills, a plan that will pave this paradise and turn it into just another urban park. This plan, focused on built infrastructure, is outdated and redundant. Dakota County needs a plan with vision for the kind of park we need into the future – one that maximizes Lebanon Hills’ green assets in creative and innovative ways. The proposed plan was initially de-
veloped almost 15 years ago. Since then many things have changed: • There’s been a tremendous increase in park amenities and trails built throughout the immediate area and the entire Twin Cities. • There’s been a lot of green space lost in Dakota County’s urban center: Carriage Hills Golf Course, Diamond Path Horse Ranch, and soon Parkview Golf Course. • Over the past five years Lebanon Hills has become known as the Twin Cities’ destination hiking park. (Best Hiking Park in the Twin Cities - City Pages Best of 2013 issue (April 2013) and No. 1 Hiking Destination in the Twin Cities – WCCO’s CBS Minnesota website. This reputation is known and growing precisely because the park does not have any paved trails cutting through its prime hiking area. Cities around Lebanon Hills are now crisscrossed with paved trails. Only a
1.2 mile section is needed to connect an existing off-road trail to the same two endpoints of the proposed 7.5 mile trail through the park. Less than a half mile away is the High Line greenway trail. Building paved trails cost $185,000 per mile. Repaving costs, scheduled every 20 years, are $75,000 per mile. Our tax dollars are paying for all of these trails. By 2030 Dakota County is expected to have a population of half a million people. Healthy, beautiful, minimally developed green space will be an ever more valuable asset in our increasingly crowded county. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should look to the future by: • Prioritizing funding away from built infrastructure. These are costly, often redundant, and degrade. Put these same dollars into woods and wetland restoration. Environmental investments appreciate over time with minimal long-term maintenance costs. • Building the park’s programming (classes and events) to bring people into the park. Lebanon Hills has shamefully few programs and staff for a park of its size. Personal nature experiences are necessary for our own health and the
long term health and preservation of the park. If people know the park they will care for it. • Providing more than trails for disabled visitors. Visitors of all abilities deserve to experience the unique space and sense of wilderness of Lebanon Hills. The master plan should be innovative in this area. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should maximize both our tax dollars and the park’s unique green capital by visioning a park for the future. Now is the time to recognize the value of this rare asset. Adjacent neighborhoods, cities and Dakota County will reap economic and quality-of-life benefits if we do. What will be our legacy for Lebanon Hills Regional Park, paradise or pavement? Send your comments to planning@ co.dakota.mn.us. A final open house with the Dakota County Parks Department on the proposed plan will be held sometime in early June.

Letters Thanks go to Pat Garofalo for his vote To the editor: As the local chairman of Democrats in Farmington and Lakeville, and as a strong believer in equal rights and fairness for everybody, I want to commend Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, for voting yes to allow same-sex couples to have the same freedom and legal rights to marry that many of us already have. I am proud that the Minnesota DFL took the initiative to tackle this subject despite the impending threat by Republicans that this will divide the state like nothing since the Civil War. Garofalo simply voted to let people make their own life choices without government limiting their abilities to do so. That idea of letting people “make their own life choices” is why I find it funny that Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, who regularly uses the term “nanny state” to describe Minnesota laws, voted to let our Minnesota government continue to make the decision for citizens about who they can or cannot marry. As Thompson and his nanny state hypocrisy embarks on a run to try and defeat Gov. Mark Dayton, I am thankful that Dayton also supports this legislation, and that two of the three people who represent me in state government said yes to this bill giving people more freedom. My thanks go out to Dayton and Garofalo. STEVE QUIST Farmington Chairman of the DFL Senate District 58
Morgan understands investment To the editor: Funding our schools will bring us the highest return of any public investment we can make. Good schools and colleges historically have made Min-
nesota a leader in business and job development. State Rep. Will Morgan, DFL-Burnsville, understands that children, and their future employers, are not well-served by chopping school budgets or by stuffing more and more students into classrooms. Will has worked hard this legislative session to rebuild our state’s support for public schools and to repay what previous legislatures took from them to balance the books. With carbon dioxide polluting our air and heating our planet, Morgan has pushed for greater investment in non-polluting energy sources, particularly solar power. He has supported a small increase in the regional sales tax to help pay for light rail and busway transit projects. Morgan knows that the Twin Cities cannot keep up with Dallas, Denver and Salt Lake City unless we at least match their investment in public infrastructure. BILL GRAHAM Burnsville
Pastor thrilled with gay marriage vote To the editor: On May 9, I was impressed with the civil, respectful discourse of our representatives at the Capitol while debating the marriage equality bill. It’s obvious that, despite differences of deep conviction, our legislators have an even deeper commitment to the common good. As the pastor of an open and affirming congregation that welcomes all families, I was also thrilled at the outcome of the vote. Couples in my congregation who have had to go to other states to marry will finally have their marriages recognized here at home. Couples who have been married here can finally get a Minnesota license. Couples who decide to marry in the future can ask me to sign their license, which I will gladly do. It’s important to recognize there is strong church
support for GLBT families. Too often, families and individuals hear that there’s no place for them at Christ’s table unless they become people they are not. They hear no Christian blessing for their relationship. They are told their love is sinful. Let me be clear: at Spirit of Joy in Lakeville, and at hundreds of congregations around Minnesota and thousands around the country, Christ’s table is open to all, no exceptions. There is no inherent sin in being gay or straight. We are all God’s beloved children, and in acts of inclusion and affirmation we stand with those who are wrongfully excluded and marginalized. Pastorally speaking, I’m looking forward to all married couples having the same standing in our culture as they already have in our church. DAVID COBB Lakeville
Opposes trail plan at Lebanon Hills park
parking lot is full, it seems as though you can walk for miles without bumping into another soul. This must have been the original intention of the planners, and, for that, I am grateful. When I read a recent article about the proposed changes to Lebanon Hills I was saddened and heartbroken. I often embrace change; however, the change to pave over Lebanon Hills does not seem necessary. My husband and I are avid bike riders and we feel so fortunate to be able to have access to numerous bikes trails within minutes of our house in Eagan. We do not feel adding pavement/ bike trails to Lebanon and disrupting the natural landscape is worth the investment. The money used to add the unnatural pavement would be better spent by enhancing the bridges and the wooden picnic areas throughout the park. Adding pavement near Schulze Lake Beach seemed unnecessary, as the functional trail already existed. It obviously also took away from the splendor of the shoreline. I encourage the county to reconsider going forward with the plan to add pavement to the most beautiful park and do your part to keep Lebanon Hills a “Forever Wild” park.
To the editor: As a resident of Eagan since 1994, I feel fortunate and blessed to live close to one of the most gorgeous parks and trails. My family and I have traveled to many different parks and trails in the country. While many of our destinations are quite beautiful, we always say: “Yes, but it is no Lebanon Hills.” My family and I have used various trails, beaches, boating and quiet picnic areas that Lebanon Hills offers. We are never tired of the breathtaking natural views no matter what the season. Lebanon Hills is a place for me and so many others to go and “get lost” in the quiet beauty of nature. I have spent countless days walking each trail finding peace and a sense of contentment. On more than one occasion, I have CHERI HAHN fallen to my knees and Eagan wept over the sheer beauty of the natural setting. Even on days when the Support our

soldiers To the editor: On July 20 at 1100 hours I will be participating in the Tough Mudder in Somerset, Wis., for the second consecutive year. This brutal 12 mile, 22 obstacle mud bath was designed by British Special Forces for the purpose of raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. Last year, thanks to
many local residents, my donation link raised over $5,000. Nothing I’ve done has given me more pride than donating those funds to our wounded military heroes. It’s easy to get caught up in our everyday life and all its freedom and forget the reason we have it and those who have made it possible. Let this letter be a reminder of why we enjoy all we have. As American citizens it’s our responsibility to help rebuild the broken lives of those who have sacrificed so much on our behalf. I am asking for help because these proud soldiers won’t. This is an opportunity to show how much we care about them for all they have done for us. Please do what you can and in return I will represent each one of you with my maximum effort on July 20. Thank you for your support and God bless America!

Bills stood tall in campaign
conclusions, was propagated instead. The scandal and cover up were discovered but not widely reported. One might have to do some homework to uncover the truth, but don’t let the facts get in the way of a good agenda. It’s too bad Newbauer was so busy drinking the Kool-Aid that he completely missed the fact that fat cat radicals, such as Al Gore and Michael Moore, have profited immensely and are laughing all the way to the bank. As soon as the truth was no longer “convenient,” a mere change in slogan to global cooling sufficed. What’s next, global trending? Yes, it was. That’s not good science, that’s called good marketing. Just follow the money. The PC police and the progressive movement have caused our country to lose its way. Big government has slowly taken over huge portions of the U.S. economy as most stood idly by or actively promoted the loss of many of our freedoms. I’m tired of the pointless and ridiculous commentary of the uninformed, as well as the mudslinging of the agenda driven hypocrites, many of whom don’t fact check … yet they vote. Rather than thanking Bills (one of the best teachers District 196 has ever had) for having the courage and willingness to sacrifice so much to run for office with the hope of waking people up from their hazy slumber, Newbauer chose to chastise him publicly by parroting the same old same old, and for what purpose? My guess is he hopes that anyone who read it will automatically believe it is true, just because it was in the paper. Perhaps if “global warming” is repeated enough, people will swear it’s the gospel truth.
To the editor: The so-called “embarrassing position” that U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills has regarding global warming as professed by Dan Newbauer in his recent letter is actually backed by many great scientific minds that have investigated and come to their own conclusions regarding global warming. However, their research and reports weren’t put on the front page of mainstream papers. Bad science, which gave the “wished KATHLEEN ROGERS for” (aka more profitable) Rosemount

Farmington pet salon has ‘shear’ success Groomingdale’s has expanded to three cities south of the river by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Since opening in Eagan in 1988, Groomingdale’s Pet Salons has grown and expanded making it a leading dog salon in the area. Owner Jennifer Rohde said what makes the business strong is that, “We’ve got the most talented people, I think, in our industry.” “We have seen an increase in more families having multiple pets, and I take care of them like a regular family member,” Rohde said. “They come in really regularly.” She even has loyal clients who moved out of state and will bring their pets back for an appointment when they come back into town.

‘It was a heroic effort’ Local Scout’s Eagle Fans, former coach welcome new Vikings stadium design by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Former Minnesota Vikings football coach and Hall of Famer Bud Grant said he has always been an advocate of outdoor football but “not any more,” he said after he witnessed the unveiling Monday night of the multi-purpose Minnesota Vikings stadium design featuring a new glass look and a fixed roof. Grant, who led his Vikings to four Super Bowls, was one of 500 at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis who attended the public unveiling of the stadium design. Grant, in his coaching days, often led his Vikings in cold and frigid weather during key games. Still sporting crew-cut hair, Grant said: “I’m sold” when making his first comment about the $975 million stadium. Grant was one of the many dignitaries in attendance, but more than three-fourths of those in attendance were from the Vikings fan base. Vikings fan Christopher Johnson of Stillwater called the stadium design “beautiful” and “iconic.” The stadium “will transcend time and is something Minnesotans will be proud of for many years,” Johnson said. “I like the glass look and think the design reflects creativity that puts it ahead of most stadiums in the National Football League,” Johnson said. Gov. Mark Dayton, who helped spearhead action on the Vikings stadium through the Minnesota Legislature, thanked the many who worked to make the project possible. “It was a heroic effort,” he said. The stadium will feature a fixed roof that will allow light to come in and give it a clear look, said Bryan Trubey, architect representative from HKS Sports & Entertainment. The stadium will have a seating capacity of 65,000 for football and 73,000 for special events. The stadium will include seven levels with three levels of suites. Trubey said the Vikings stadium is somewhat comparable to the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “It is a living, breathing structure,” he said. The
stadium will be the “window of the world,” Trubey said. Trubey elicited laughter he showed a slide of a snow-laden roof with the message being: “Rule Number One: Get the snow off the roof.” Trubey said the stadium will have up to 125 suites and 7,500 club seats, including suites and clubs at the field level, some of which will put fans closer to the sideline than in any other NFL stadium. The asymmetrical stadium will feature two of the largest video boards in the NFL located in both the east and west end zones and video ribbon boards throughout the interior of the seating bowl, Trubey said. Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, said the multi-purpose stadium will have the capability to host more events than any other large stadium in the world, including NFL football and a Super Bowl, Major League Soccer, NCAA basketball and baseball, high school sporting events, motocross, concerts, conventions and marching band competitions. Kelm-Helgen explained that the stadium unveiling would also include a meeting of the Sports Authority board to approve the stadium design. That was done by a unanimous vote of the five-member authority board near the end of the night’s events. Kelm-Helgen said the stadium construction will create 7,500 new jobs. Hundreds of businesses will also be involved in design and construction, more than 24 expected to be local firms. Minorities and women businesses will also be recruited for the stadium construction, Kelm-Helgen said. Mortenson Construction of Minneapolis is the general contractor. The multi-purpose stadium will feature restaurants and retail establishments in its infrastructure. “It will become a national and international
destination,” Kelm-Helgen said. Ground breaking is planned for the new stadium in October. The Vikings will play one more full season at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and then the stadium comes down, most likely in January 2014. The Vikings will play two seasons at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Stadium in Minneapolis and then will occupy the new, stillunnamed stadium in July 2016. “It’s indeed spectacular,” Grant said at a media reception following the public unveiling. “Thanks for coming,” Vikings vice president Lester Bagley said to Grant. “I get paid for this,” Grant replied. He is under a life contract with the Vikings. Howard Lestrud can be reached at howard.lestrud@ecm-inc.com.
project keeps brother’s memory alive For the service project required to earn his Eagle Scout award, Jimmy Erickson collected more than 1,500 used books as a donation for Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. Along with the service project’s practical value, there was also a symbolic one. Jimmy’s baby brother, Jack, was a frequent patient at Children’s Hospital prior to his death from a rare chromosome disorder, and spina bifida, in December 2005. Jack was seven days shy of his third birthday. “Jack went in for surgery practically every three months, and I spent a lot of time at Children’s Hospital,” said 12-year-old Jimmy of Apple Valley, a member of Boy Scout Troop 205 and a seventh-grader at Falcon Ridge Middle School. Jimmy, in fact, also has been a patient at the Minneapolis hospital – he had his tonsils removed there – and the Erickson family continues to volunteer at Children’s, wrapping Christmas presents each holiday season for the young patients.
Jimmy’s older brother, Andrew, also undertook an Eagle Scout service project with baby brother Jack in mind. Last spring, Andrew organized the Fun Run/Walk for Chromosome 18, which was held on the track at Eastview High School to raise money and awareness for the nonprofit Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society. For his own Eagle project, Jimmy set up collection boxes in his neighborhood and enlisted the help of his classmates at Falcon Ridge. He set up a drop box for used books at the school during the month of April, and recorded a video promo for the book drive that was aired as part of the school’s morning announcements. He delivered the first of several batches of books to the hospital last week. “The people at the hospital helped make it comfortable for us (while Jack was a patient there). I wanted to do something for them,” Jimmy said. —Andrew Miller
Police chase on County Road 42 ends in arrest A Bloomington man is facing criminal charges following a police chase on County Road 42 in Apple Valley earlier this month. Police say 21-year-old Vlade N. Jones had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.18, more than twice the legal limit, when officers took him into custody in the early hours of Saturday, May 4. The criminal complaint gives the following account: At about 2:10 a.m. May 4, an Apple Valley officer observed Jones’ SUV speeding and running a red light on westbound County Road 42. When the officer activated his emergency lights to stop the vehicle, the SUV continued on at a high rate of speed. At one point, near the County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue intersection, the SUV moved into the
right lane, activated its right turn signal and appeared to be coming to a stop on the shoulder, but then abruptly moved back into the left lane and accelerated rapidly away. Eventually, after turning off of 42 onto southbound Pennock Avenue, the SUV drove into the parking area of an apartment complex at a high rate of speed, “causing several pedestrians to scatter to avoid being hit,” the complaint said. The vehicle came to a stop, and Jones was taken into custody. Arresting officers noted that Jones smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred, but field sobriety tests were not administered because “Jones was irate and swearing and yelling at officers,” according to the complaint. However, Jones provided police with
a breath sample, which showed a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.18. As he was being transported to Apple Valley police headquarters, Jones “continued to kick and bang his head against the window and other objects in the squad car,” the complaint said. Jones has been charged with fleeing police in a motor vehicle, a felony punishable by up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine, along with two misdemeanor counts of DWI, which each carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 4 in Hastings. Jones remained in custody in the Dakota County Jail as of noon Monday. —Andrew Miller

Hotel deal at hand for Heart of the City Hilton Garden Inn said to be the brand by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The city of Burnsville is poised to sign a deal with a hotel developer, completing one of the last pieces of unfinished business in the Heart of the City redevelopment district. The City Council, acting as the Economic Development Commission, is scheduled to vote June 4 on the sale of cityowned land north of the Performing Arts Center to hotel firm Akota Hospitality LLC of Dickinson, N.D., according to Skip Nienhaus, Burnsville’s economic development coordinator. An Akota representative, Joel Cary, didn’t return a reporter’s phone call. The $503,600 sale has been reviewed by the city’s Economic Development Commission, which recommended approval on May 8. Akota appears to be interested in building a Hilton Garden Inn, Nienhaus said. The city’s proposed contract with Akota requires a hotel of at least 90 rooms, includ-
ing a restaurant, meeting space and about 55 parking spaces. Construction must begin within 90 days of approval of a planned unit development that must be submitted no later than Jan. 31, 2014. A hotel has always been part of Burnsville’s plan for the Heart of the City, Nienhaus said. The redevelopment effort grew from initial city efforts in the 1990s to improve the Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway streetscapes. The hotel has gone waiting while other plans for the Heart of the City – the arts center, an urban park, mixed residential and commercial uses – materialized. “It certainly took a while, but yes, it did happen,” Nienhaus said. The 1.75-acre hotel parcel is the last remaining piece of 6.24 acres the city bought in 2001 from AAA Minnesota/Iowa. The contract with Akota calls for the company to pay $503,600 – more than Dakota County’s $457,600 valuation but well below an August 2012 city-commissioned appraisal of $865,000. “The price that we’re selling it for is virtually equal to the price we bought it for when we bought it from Triple A,”
Nienhaus said. The property has had a “For Sale” sign for about four years. The city issued a request for proposals from would-be buyers in 2011 but got no responses. The city issued the RFP at that time because some eligible costs it could help subsidize for developers in the Heart of the City tax-increment financing district were expiring at the end of the year, Nienhaus said. “We thought we’d better go out and take one more shot,” he said, adding that officials didn’t expect much response in the post-recession economy. Other suitors for the property have come and gone, including fast-food restaurants and gas stations – none of which met the 25-foot minimum building height required in the Heart of the City, Nienhaus said. The city is providing no tax-increment financing or other subsidy for the hotel, he said. Akota Hospitality has been represented in negotiations with the city by Cary, of St. Paulbased LHR Hospitality Management, one of two firms competing earlier this year for the Performing Arts Center’s man-
agement contract. The council chose to stick with arts center manager VenuWorks rather than switch to LHR, which specializes in hotel management. LHR manages a number of hotels owned by Akota, which has specialized in turning around distressed hotels but has also built hotels in North Dakota since the oil boom, Nienhaus said. City officials didn’t disclose it was LHR working the hotel deal, even as LHR was before the city seeking the arts center management contract. There are potential synergies between the hotel and the arts center. “I would assume that they’d still pursue those synergies,” such as business meetings at the arts center combined with stays at the hotel, Nienhaus said. The PAC hosts about a dozen dance competitions a year, adding more potential business for the hotel, he said. Nienhaus said he expects construction on the hotel to begin next spring or summer.

Eagan residents to dribble across America by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Two Eagan residents hope to accomplish a feat few others have – dribble a soccer ball across America, all while raising money for charity. Alex Daley and Matt Scott plan to begin their journey across Minnesota on May 21 in advance of their dribble across America this fall. The University of St. Thomas graduates will take an estimated 21 days to complete the 420 mile trip across the state. Their goal is to raise money for their nonprofit, Dribble Daily, which provides soccer fields and gear for disadvantaged children across the world. “We hope to be a catalyst for change,” Daley, 23, said. The organization is the brain child of Daley, Scott and fellow St. Thomas graduate Mike Valesano who set out to create social change in impoverished communities through the game of soccer. Scott and Daley drew their inspiration from a trip to Nepal in the spring of 2012. The Eagan High School graduates met with children from a nearby boarding school and were inspired to create a soccer field and purchase equip-
ment for the school with donations they gathered. From there, Dribble Daily was born. The organization aims to create rooftop soccer fields and community gardens in inner city communities to battle childhood obesity and promote healthy living. Daley, a former college soccer player and avid fan, and Scott said they believe soccer could also help bring the community together. “Soccer transcends racial, ethnic and cultural barriers,” Scott, 24, said. Scott and Daley hope to achieve their goal by partnering with local government entities, neighborhood groups and nonprofits. They said they hope their journey will raise awareness for soccer, in addition to raising money for Dribble Daily. Daley and Scott hope to complete the trip on a shoestring budget by sleeping in a tent or with host families. A van will follow them on their journey carrying supplies.

Budget adjustments likely in School District 196’s future by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will likely face budget adjustments in the next two years due to state funding shortfalls, officials say. The amount of adjustments will depend upon state funding over the next three school years, said Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196. Funding for K-12 education has in-
creased by 5 percent since 2008, which is less than inflation, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. State funding accounts for the largest portion of the District 196’s revenue. The Minnesota House is currently considering a proposal to increase K-12 funding by 2 percent in 2013-14 and in 2014-15, which would amount to $104 per pupil or $3.2 million in District 196. The Senate’s proposal is for a 1 percent increase in 2013-14 and no increase
in 2014-15. The 2013-14 increase would amount to a $52 per pupil or $1.6 million more in funding for District 196. For planning purposes, district officials expect the Legislature will pass a 1 percent increase for both years. While state funding has lagged behind, local levy referendums have grown in recent years throughout Minnesota to make up the difference, Solomon said. The district’s levy has risen from $535 per pupil in 2003 to $1,042 per pupil in
2013. On average, school levies have increased from $352 per average daily membership in 2003 to $1,035 per pupil in 2013, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. District 196 officials are considering asking voters to raise the levy referendum once again. The School Board approved on May 14 a proposal See 196 LEVY, 7A

At the wheel for 13 years Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas to turn over the keys of this economic engine by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
There probably is no greater local economic engine than Dakota County Technical College. The man behind the wheel of that vehicle for the past 13 years will hand over the keys not long after this weekend’s spring graduation ceremony when emotions will be running higher than usual. College President Ron Thomas, who will know many of the graduates by name along with their stories of perseverance, will emphasize those handshakes and hugs a little more, knowing that his last day is approaching fast. “I’ve enjoyed every day of it,” Thomas said on Tuesday. “It was a difficult decision. The college is doing exceptionally well. I felt it was time to start to open the next chapter of my life.” The Lakeville resident since 1999 doesn’t know what exactly that next chapter will entail, but he’s sure it will include more trips with wife Ann to see their two sons Trent and Kalen and their families in Arizona and Washington, respectively, along with visiting his daughter, Taylor, a recent Northwestern University graduate working with the Poynter Institute in Florida. His role as father and grandfather extended to his college family, too, as he consistently went out of his way to talk to students in formal and infor-

That’s when you really know what’s going on,” Thomas said in reference to discovering ways the college can better meet the needs of its graduates. With a third of its students with some college experience or a college degree, he has learned much from the returning veteran, the out-of-work electrician and the stay-athome parent who doesn’t want to stay at home anymore. Through those conversations, he has helped the college focus on its mission to provide education for employment. Thomas sums up the college’s efforts in one word – opportunity. He said the partnerships that have been formed during the past 13 years have strengthened the college’s ties with Dakota County. “I knew we had more opportunities out there,” he said of when he came to DCTC after serving as president of Coffeyville Community College in
Coffeyville, Kan. Aside from giving employment opportunities to the estimated 5,000 forcredit students and 6,500 in specialized training, the college has partnered with businesses and industries to identify areas in which the college can provide training to current or future employees. Those partnerships have been forged with such companies as Uponor, Thomson Reuters and General Motors. Whether through customized training, internships or school-to-work programs, the college is cooperating with more than 200 businesses, educational institutes and community groups. In an effort to meet the needs of its students, whose average age is 32, the college has created an estimated 130 new programs in the past 10 years. Thomas said that is reflective of the college’s philosophy – to respond to employment needs and turn out highly-skilled workers. Among those new programs were the establish-
ment of the IT Training Center in Eagan (1999) and Partners in Higher Education in Apple Valley (2003). One year later, the Entrepreneurship/Small Business program expanded at the Partners’ site and the two-year Nanoscience Technology program was launched. “When they go out into the job market, they are well prepared,” Thomas said. “When our students are ready to graduate, they are fine-tuned for the workplace.” The college has been able to fulfill its role by having outstanding faculty and staff, according to Thomas. “This is a great college,” he said. “It is well respected through the state, region and the U.S.,” Thomas said. Thomas said he is leaving the college a better place than when he found it 13 years ago. That’s a legacy all those who have been touched by the college can appreciate.
196 LEVY, from 6A to consider asking voters this November to renew or approve a new levy of up to $1,666 per pupil, which is the state cap. The board made this decision to ensure they have the option to pursue a levy referendum next fall. The Legislature is considering a proposal to freeze levy referendum, which would prevent districts who didn’t declare their intent prior to May 31 or June 30 from seeking a referendum election. The School Board can decide to ask for less than the state levy referendum cap but not more. Although the levy referendum has risen in District 196, the district’s portion of property taxes on the average valued home has dropped from $1,288 in 2006 to $1,066 in 2013 due to falling home prices and tax relief efforts. Even if voters approve an increased levy, the district will be forced to make budget adjustments of up to $6 million in 2014-15 and up to $18 million in 2015-16.
These adjustments would be a combination of cuts, fee increases and wage freezes. Solomon noted that the state’s repayment of the K-12 funding shift imposed for several years will do little to help the district’s financial picture. The district would face deeper adjustments of up to $23 million in 201415 and up to $19 million if voters deny a levy increase. Budget woes are not new to District 196, which has made $34 million in adjustments since 2009. Although the district didn’t make new adjustments in 2012-13 and doesn’t plan to in 201314, it continues to impose its four-year pay freeze. “I don’t think we can expect to make no pay increases much longer,” Board Member Rob Duchscher said. “It encourages employees to migrate out of the district.” Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Better Business Bureau works to protect seniors Vigilance against con artists is key to avoiding being scammed May is Older Americans Month and the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota is reminding seniors and their loved ones – as well as caregivers – of the importance of being vigilant in regard to scams. Because seniors control more than 70 percent of the nation’s wealth, they are often targeted by fraudsters and con artists. However, simply by following some basic steps, such as taking time to consider all offers carefully, seniors can avoid becoming a victim. “The scammers are out there, and they’ve got a pretty deep bag of tricks,” said Gary Johnson, outreach manager
for the BBB’s Senior Program. “Our goal is to beat them to the punch and explain to seniors how these schemes work so that they can not only identify them, but use that knowledge to help others in their age group avoid them and also report them to law enforcement and agencies such as ours.” The BBB warns against the following six scams that commonly target senior citizens: • Grandparent scam – Victims receive a phone call from someone claiming to be a family member stranded far from home. They usually beg to have the matter kept private and say they are being held in jail, need
car repairs or other assistance and money has to be wired to them immediately. These scammers may lace the conversation with correct references to other family members, increasing their credibility. BBB advice: Remain calm and confirm the identity of the individual by calling him or her directly or verifying the story with other family members before taking any further action. Never provide scammers with information they can use against you. For instance, don’t venture a name when an unknown caller says, “It’s your grandson!” Instead, make them “fill in the blanks.”
• Sweepstakes and lottery scams –Typically, the victim receives a letter in the mail stating they have won a lottery or sweepstakes. The letter instructs the victim to deposit an enclosed check and then wire a portion back to cover taxes, insurance or administrative fees. While these checks clear initially, the money will be removed when the bank discovers the check is phony. The victim is out whatever they wired back to the scammers – often thousands of dollars. These scams are also attempted over the phone. Remember, you can’t win a contest you didn’t enter, and if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. BBB advice: Never wire money to someone you don’t know. You should never have to
pay a fee to collect winnings from a lottery or sweepstakes. Also, participation in a foreign lottery over the phone or through the mail is illegal. Some newer scams ask people to purchase Green Dot MoneyPaks and then get people to share the number on the back, which allows scammers to siphon funds that have been loaded onto these MoneyPaks, leaving victims emptyhanded. • Medicare scams – Scammers often claim to be with Medicare and ask for personal information such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, credit card or bank account numbers. Potential victims might be given any number of excuses to provide this information including that an error needs to be fixed, that he or she is
part of a survey or eligible to receive free products or can sign up for a new prescription drug plan. BBB advice: Medicare will never call to ask for sensitive personal financial information. If you suspect fraud, contact your local police or the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General at 800-447-8477. • Bereavement scams – Scammers will go so far as to try to take advantage of seniors who have recently lost a loved one, such as a spouse. They call the widow or widower and claim that their spouse had outstanding debts that need to be paid immediately. BBB advice: If you are uncertain about owing a debt when collectors call, always ask for writSee BBB, 9A

BBB, from 8A ten confirmation. Don’t be intimidated by unknown callers or letters claiming a debt is owed. Be aware of your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Deceptive professionals – While many scams targeting senior citizens are “faceless,” some scammers knock on the front door, claiming to be experts in their fields. These so-called professionals will lie about the
extent of problems with your home or furnace, and then inflate prices in an attempt to profit off trusting seniors. BBB advice – Find professionals you can trust by researching them at bbb.org. Report
any deceptive offers to your BBB, local law enforcement and the state Attorney General. • Investment opportunities – These schemes promise big returns but
offer few details. BBB advice: Beware of investment or moneymaking offers that seem too good to be true or use high-pressure sales tactics. If you have ques-
tions about any offers you receive, contact the BBB at 800-646-6222. For more advice on avoiding scams visit bbb. org/us/consumer-tipsscams.

Panther softball is on top of the charts Lakeville North earns No. 1 ranking, No. 1 seed in playoffs by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville North softball team enters the Section 3AAA playoffs, which began on Wednesday, as the favorite. Not only are the Panthers favored in the section, where they earned the No. 1 seed, they’re the favorite overall. Lakeville North took over the No. 1 spot in the latest softball rankings provided by the state coaches association. North coach Sean Hall said it’s a mythical ranking and he isn’t worried about it going to the players’ heads. “It’s nice to be recognized but it doesn’t help you win any games,” Hall said. “We’ve had to play with pressure all year long. The girls have responded well to that. We just have to concentrate on playing our game.” He’s been the coach of teams ranked No. 1 when he was at North St. Paul. “The year we won it, we
weren’t even ranked in the top 10,” he said. The Panthers, 8-1 in the South Suburban Conference and 18-2 overall, were one of four teams receiving byes in Wednesday’s first round of the Section 3AAA playoffs. They will go to the double-elimination bracket starting Friday at Dred Scott Fields in Bloomington. The Panthers will play No. 9 seed Park of Cottage Grove or No. 8 Simley. Eastview came in as the No. 2 seed, last year’s section champion Bloomington Jefferson came in at No. 3, and Burnsville is No. 4. “Any of the top nine teams can beat anyone else,” Hall said. “It’s just a matter of getting hot at the right time. We’re going to play someone good.” With the bye came a threeday break in the action which, considering the late spring, was a blessing. “We’ve only had maybe two outdoor practices,” Hall said.
“Otherwise we’ve been playing Monday through Saturday. It will be nice to get some rest and heal up some of those injuries. The defense has been great for most of the year, but we haven’t played as sharp as we were earlier. A lot of reps in practice should help that.” It appeared to be an easy choice to put Lakeville North at No. 1 with the section consisting mostly of South Suburban Conference teams. The Panthers polished off their second straight South Suburban Conference title on Monday with a 4-0 victory against Rosemount. Last year the girls tied with Bloomington Jefferson, but this year they won it outright. “They were all happy and excited, but I think we have unfinished business,” Hall said. “They’re more focused on the section tournament. Inside they’re very excited, but they’re looking ahead, there are bigger things.”
The Panthers were coming off an impressive weekend at the Mankato West Tournament. The girls defeated Apple Valley 12-3, New Prague 10-3 and Mankato West 12-1 to win the championship. Against Apple Valley, Erika Rozell hit a grand slam into a 30 mph wind. Jessica Meidl was 3-for-3 with a double, and Madison Malecha had a double and two RBI. Against New Prague, Sara Nelson was 2-for-2 and Tera McKenney had two RBI. Meidl had a home run and three RBI in the championship game against Mankato West. Michaela Zins and Nelson each had a double while Malecha had two RBI. Last year, Mankato West beat the Panthers 3-2 in the tournament championship game. Zins got the win against Apple Valley and Mankato West, striking out 11 and allowing four earned runs in 12 innings. Maggie Dunnett pitched
Rough start for Panther boys lacrosse Three-game win streak in early May shows promise by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville North boys lacrosse season hasn’t exactly gone as planned. Losing their first four games came as a bit of a shock for the Panthers, who were coming off a season where they won nine games in the regular season. Four losses were as many as they had all year in 2012. “It was frustrating,” head coach Jeff Wright said. “We didn’t expect to start that way.” The Panthers weren’t exactly at full strength between injuries, field trips and team violations. “We have 12 midfielders, but we’ve been down to as many as seven,” Wright said. “None of the injuries have been severe, but we’ve had to start some inexperienced players and we’ve had our growing pains. We’re waiting for the day we’re full strength.” During the losing streak, two of the losses were by just one goal to Apple Valley and Wayzata and the team never scored more than eight goals. “Issue has been penalties,” Wright said. “It doesn’t allow us to be on offense as much as we like to.” A common phrase around the field is “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” The Panthers went on to win three straight from May 7-10 beating Bloomington Kennedy 16-1, Burnsville 14-9 and Stillwater 11-6. Against Burnsville, the Panthers were down 8-3 at halftime, but rallied back to score 11 straight. “Our seniors spoke
against New Prague, holding the Trojans to two earned runs and striking out six.
Lakeville South The Cougar softball team pulled down the No. 5 seed in the Section 3AAA playoffs, one spot away from a first-round bye. The girls played No. 12 Bloomington Kennedy on Wednesday, after Sun Thisweek’s deadline. The winner will play No. 4 seed Burnsville at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Dred Scott Fields in Bloomington. The Cougars are one of only two teams to beat Lakeville North this season, winning 1-0 in 10 innings on May 7. It was the continuation of a game that started April 26 at the West St. Paul Sports Dome that was scoreless after nine innings and had to be suspended. Email Andy Rogers andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The victory against Stillwater was more of a complete game. “We actually played four full quarters and everybody was clicking,” See LACROSSE, 14A
No matter what happens, it has been a renaissance season for the Lakeville South boys tennis team. The boys’ record improved to 11-5 compared to 5-11 last year and they earned a top seed in the Section 1AA tournament. “It is a very exciting time for the South program and we are only getting better and younger down the road,” head coach Doug Roseth said. The Cougars were 4-5 in the South Suburban Conference, which was a career high win total for the program. Just two years ago the team had just one win. Now it has the No. 1 north seed in the Section 1AA tournament, which began on Wednesday. Doug Roseth was pleased with the seeding. “We were just a few individual matches from being a fourth or fifth seed as were a lot of good teams, so we are happy but not content,” he said. The goal is to make it to the Section 1AA finals where Rochester Mayo – the No. 9 ranked team in the state and perennial powerhouse, which received the No. 1 south seed – could be waiting. First the Cougars had to get through Hastings on Thursday. The match was played after Sun Thisweek’s deadline.
The improvement bug has infected the entire lineup. No. 1 singles player Chase Roseth finished 13-3 after winning two matches last year at the top spot. All three of his losses were against top10 ranked juniors from Burnsville, Eagan and Bloomington Jefferson. “He had some nice wins over North, Prior Lake and Eastview’s top player,” Doug Roseth said. “Chase certainly stepped up but we would not be where we are today without the addition of our foreign exchange student Fernan Zimmermann from Argentina.” Zimmermann went 9-4 during the season. Two of Lakeville South’s losses came when he was out with an injury. “He has amazing speed to run down any shot and has a very calm demeanor on the court,” Doug Roseth said. “He’s already making a name for himself in the section and his teammates feed off of him being a positive role model for the younger players.” Mitch Johnson and Spencer Linse are 10-4 at No. 1 doubles while injuries have stifled Cash Rodamaker’s season but he is close to being 100 percent. Regardless of what happens in the team section tournament, a few players will get a chance at the individual Section See TENNIS, 14A
Cougars hurting for consistency on the mound Lakeville South baseball hoping to hit stride by playoff time by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Thanks to a late spring, the Lakeville South baseball team keeps asking: “Who is going to pitch today?” After a month of postponements, the Cougars are playing just about every day, often twice, so pitching depth has become paramount. The Cougars have solid pitchers such as Cory Rieter, Erick Cervanka and Mitch Maurer, but they can’t throw every day. “We’re trying to string out our pitching as long as we can,” head coach Allen Iversen said. “Pitching is crucial and we have that. We just haven’t been able to put it in the right spot. We could go through our top three guys in one day and then they’re out for the next few days. “We’d like to get a lead and ride them out as long as we can. Unfortunately, we haven’t
always been able to do that,” Iversen said. The Cougars have been in just about every game this season. “No, we’ve been pretty competitive,” senior infielder Nick Pecho said. “That’s the frustrating part. We’ve been in just about every game, we just don’t always have the pitching. It’s pretty frustrating to lose all those games so close. It gets a little much, but we’re still having fun.” The season hasn’t been without its highlights. On May 9, Lakeville South defeated Burnsville, ranked No. 2 in the state at the time, by a score of 4-1 behind a brilliant performance from Cervanka. “He was in full control of the game, spotting his fastball and using his changeup and breaking ball effective,” Iversen said. “But he threw more than 100 pitches, so we shut him down.
We’re not going to use him for a while.” It was the second year in a row the Cougars upset the Blaze. Last year Burnsville was 9-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state before Lakeville South beat Burnsville 9-8. The Cougars will play Burnsville again Saturday at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville, the site of an all-day South Suburban Conference tournament. “They’re going to try to come at us,” Pecho said. “I think a lot of us want to win that day so our mind is happy for prom. We need to get some wins under our belt to get a better seed at sections, too.” The Cougars followed the Burnsville win with pair of doubleheader sweeps – 5-4 and a 10-9 to Bloomington Kennedy on May 11 and 7-2 and 8-4 to Eagan on Tuesday. In between there was a 4-1 victory against Lakeville South’s Cody Metz (5) throws out a pitch against Eagan on Tuesday in Elko. (Photo by Andy Rogers) See BASEBALL, 14A

“Our goalies, Anson Fisk and Chase Pankow, have been huge this year, and they are doing more than expected from a goalie,” Bohmert said. There’s still a gap between some of the teams in the conference. Three of the team’s losses have been against programs ranked in the top 10 including Eastview, Eagan and Rosemount, often by double digits. The latest came on Tuesday against Eagan, where the Cougars lost 17-3. “Our general stick skills need to improve and we need to improve our team offense and defense,” Bohmert said. The goal is to keep improving and play their best lacrosse by season’s end. Although there’s isn’t much time. The Cougars will welcome Bloomington Jefferson, ranked No. 11 in the state, on Friday. The boys will make the trip to Lakeville North on Tuesday before closing out the season with a trip to Hastings May 23.
Wright said. Midfielder Tyler Schermann was nearly perfect winning 23-of-25 in face-offs against Burnsville and 19-of-20 against Stillwater. However, Eastview broke that winning streak on Tuesday defeating the Panthers 12-5, the first of three-straight games against teams ranked in the top 10 in the state. The Panthers close out the regular season with a trip to Prior Lake on Saturday and a home match against Lakeville South on Tuesday. “We just need to play as a team and continue to do the little things,” Wright said. “If they come ready, disciplined and focused, they’ll be successful.” One reason to keep on playing strong is the fact that Lakeville North could still get a high seed in the Section 1 tournament beginning on May 28. Lakeville North will play in a section with the Big 9 teams along with Farmington and Lakeville South. As of Tuesday, Rochester Mayo was the only team with a winning record with Farmington and Rochester Mayo hov-

With three victories, the Cougars already have a better record than they did in 2012, but the season hasn’t gone quite as hoped, either. With a young lineup, the Cougars were hoping to gather up some experience, but the weather has impeded the team’s development, according to head coach Tim Bohmert. “We have still been able to have fun as a team,” Bohmert said. “I believe our raw athletic talent has improved this year compared to years previously, and that is a huge step in the right direction for this program.” The Cougars have victories over Farmington 7-6, Bloomington Kennedy 12-3, Rochester John Marshall 12-3 . The Cougars have also kept things close against Burnsville and Rochester Mayo losing 13-12 and 8-6, respectively.

FLOOD, from 1A floor. The building’s massive boiler, sitting on an elevated four-inch concrete slab was knocked several inches off-kilter during the water blast that Mohn said lasted about 20 minutes as city crews searched for the water main shut off outside the building. Water poured into the building, flowing from the boiler room into the gym and commons, which features amphitheater-style tiered seating and filled the area about two feet deep, Mohn said. “It was like a swimming pool,” Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder said. Linda Swanson, the district’s communications coordinator, said “a lot of water was pouring right
CRISIS, from 1A Her first move was to call the bus company to re-route buses to Crystal Lake Education Center. “I knew that would be our best option,” Snyder said. Parents were notified through the district’s emergency system to pick up their children at Crystal Lake. Cherry View teachers who saw water streaming down the hall, reacted decisively, running to the media center and placing all lower-shelf library books on higher shelves, unplugging computer equipment and lifting cords out of water. “It’s just like everyTHERAPY, from 1A “Their sense of self esteem improves,” Howard said. “Riding makes them feel involved.” The programs have helped children and young adults struggling with challenges, including autism, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders, cancer, vision and hearing impairments, abuse survivors, Down syndrome and paraplegia. There is something transforming about riding and connecting to the horses, said Larry Johnson, Majestic Hills Ranch board member and Army LEVY, from 1A
into the building,” and was about one inch deep. “When I walked in the front door, water was coming down the hallway,” Swanson said. “So water was in the classroom wing all the way down on the west side of the building, and it was coming down the hall and had gone through the office.” Lakeville School Board Chair Roz Peterson said she believes this is the first water main break in any Lakeville school. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Randy Anderson, Lakeville Schools business manager, who was charged with overseeing operations for the building’s cleanup. “I couldn’t believe it when I came in here.” At the first bang, Mohn had immediately shut off the boiler, and during the
geyser ran to shut off the main to the building, but the water was coming from the main leading to the building’s private fire hydrant near the playground. Two city workers were flushing the hydrant as part of regular maintenance, said City Public Works Director Chris Petree, who called the workers “experienced” and said they were performing required routine maintenance and did nothing wrong. Most of the 540 Cherry View students were on their way to school when the water main break occurred and their buses were diverted to Crystal Lake Education Center where parents were instructed to pick them up. Students and teachers who were in the building
were evacuated, and no injuries occurred. District officials closed the building for the remainder of the school year, and students were given an unexpected three-day vacation as district staff and moving crews worked to relocate student and teacher belongings to four different schools in the district, where students will complete the year. Kindergarten and first grade will attend Lake Marion Elementary; Grade 2, A+ and multicategorical students at Christina Huddleston; grades 3 and 4 at Eastview Elementary, and fifth grade at Kenwood Trail Middle School. Cherry View Principal Paul Helberg said he is determined to bring his school back together be-
fore the year ends, possibly a school picnic, and said activities will be rescheduled. Insurance adjustors from the city and school district were on site Monday during the week, and Petree said there will be an investigation into the cause and extent of the problem that will require excavation of areas around the lines “to see what broke and why it broke.” Snyder said water mains underground “are compromised.” “This has nothing to do with my employees operating a hydrant,” Petree said. “There’s more of a catastrophic failure that occurred in the infrastructure not having anything to do with the hydrant.” By Tuesday, the standing water had been re-
moved, fans were running and lockers opened in hallways. Teachers and aides worked together to empty desks and pack boxes. Lakeville Director of Teaching and Learning Barb Knudsen was peeling well-taped name tags off of lockers, movers and cleanup crews busily buzzed throughout the building. Petree said the rupture did not affect neighboring properties’ water lines and no problems with other lines are anticipated. An update about the incident posted on the district’s website states that the building has been secured and residents are asked to “not visit the building for any reason.”
one clicked it into gear and started doing what they could,” Snyder said. “That was pretty awesome.” Groups of teachers were stationed on both sides of the school informing and directing arriving parents and students. Snyder put district Business Manager Randy Anderson in charge of cleanup crews and dealing with insurance adjustors at Cherry View while she went to Crystal Lake Education Center to ensure there was a good system of supervision for students as they were coming in and being picked up by parents. “I was constantly on
the phone with the bus garage,” Snyder said. Helberg directed his teachers to phone call all their students’s parents to make sure every student was safely home and being supervised. Anderson’s reports made it clear to Snyder by 10 a.m. that Cherry View would have to close for the remainder of the school year, and they needed to devise a plan for its 540 students to attend elsewhere. “We just started to plan scenarios,” Snyder said. Barb Knudsen, director of teaching and learning, called the 12:30 p.m. planning meeting a “think tank” discussion.
Meeting members included Helberg and other district principals who reviewed space options and ultimately identified four schools that could help accommodate the displaced students. Knudsen said her primary concern was that teachers would have all the equipment and materials they would need to complete the school year. Scenarios included putting 360 of the Cherry View students in classes at Hosanna Church or picking one district elementary to hold an early school and a late school. While Hosanna Church was a strong option, there were concerns they would have to move a lot more
furniture and equipment into the building, which also does not have a commercial kitchen, and food would have to be prepared off-site and delivered, an unplanned expense. Ultimately, Cherry View classes were divided into four separate schools, a decision that was made and communicated to parents by about 3 p.m. Monday. Knudsen said the Cherry View students will end the year at the same time and on-schedule because teachers will likely reduce or cancel year-end events to finish class work. “In times like this, people rise to the occasion,” Knudsen said. Snyder dubbed it a
“problem-solving day.” “There are really competent, wonderful people here that just pitch in,” she said. “And that made it really a very smooth experience for all of us.” Helberg, who said he makes a point to be in the cafeteria every day, described a feeling of sadness that Cherry View students were scattered in unfamiliar buildings. “I need to see them,” Helberg said. “I’m going to be in every building, talk to every classroom, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure where they are.”
veteran. Johnson said he has witnessed veteran shut-ins suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder open up and regain the sense of camaraderie with others, often lost while battling the effects of physical pain and emotional trauma. “Therapy at the hospital is work,” Johnson said. “They come out to the ranch and it becomes a joy.” Army National Guard veteran Heather Gansen, 30, said she started as a children’s program volunteer at Majestic Hills Ranch, but then entered the Heroes on Horseback program herself for a de-
bilitating form of arthritis that affects every joint in her body. “Riding helps with the arthritis,” Gansen said. “It’s a great way for me to get my body moving and not have an impact.” She described numerous transformations in children and veterans that she has witnessed from the therapies available at the ranch. “It’s amazing what goes on there,” Gansen said. “There’s nothing like – either a veteran or a kid – seeing the look on their face, the pure joy they have, when they’re able to make a horse do what they want.”
While running the programs are Howard’s passion, the expense is getting too much for her to handle. She estimated costs at about $350,000 annually. In addition to programming costs, expenses mount for repairs, maintenance and veterinary and farrier bills, while hay has recently tripled in price. A long-held dream to build an indoor arena so the ranch can operate year-round and raise more revenue has yet to be realized, and funds are needed for it. Howard said she has for years contributed a significant amount, but
can no longer afford the expense. “I have been funding the ranch personally for quite some time,” she said. “I just don’t have the funding to continue at that level. We will have to cut back on programs if we don’t get funding.” Howard said she is worried that if donors do not come forward, the ranch will close. “The next point is selling the ranch,” Howard said. “I haven’t wanted to do it. I’ve hung on like a pit bull, but I can’t do it any more.” Gansen said if the ranch were closed, it would be a “serious dis-
service to our veterans. “Our veterans are not getting the help they need all the time,” Gansen said. “This is a program that can help individuals dealing with things like post-traumatic stress (disorder), suicidal thoughts and alcoholism. If it wasn’t there, when there is not a positive place for them, all that’s left is the negative.” For more information about donating or volunteer opportunities, go to www.majestichillsranch. org.

Jewell is a Shih Tzu that weighs 15 pounds and came to us from a puppy mill. She is now playing with toys and running around with the fosters’ own dog. She is 6-7 years old and was shaved down because of mats. She loves to cuddle with women but is still afraid of men. You can see her at our adoption days on Saturdays at the Apple Valley Petco or the Burnsville Petco from 11-3 or call Suzanne the foster at 612-599-4524 to learn more and meet her during the week.

‘What Did You Say?’ author speaks up Monique Hammond at Robert Trail Library on May 21 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Hearing loss was a gamechanger for Monique Hammond. Monique Unexpectedly, Hammond in a matter of just four hours in September 2005, Hammond went totally deaf in one ear. “I was teaching a class and at one point I thought, ‘Gee, I can’t hear so well,’ ” recounted the Minneapolis resident and registered pharmacist. “By 7 p.m. I was totally deaf in my left ear.” As a result of her hearing loss – which she says was brought on by a combination of loud music at a church fundraiser she attended the previous day, as well as a virus – Hammond experienced buzzing, vertigo and loss of balance. Simple tasks in her daily routine became impossible challenges. “I call it a life-changer and a career-ender – within a matter of four hours, my life changed,” she said. “I haven’t worked as a pharmacist since then.” Hammond will be sharing her story – and her research into hearing loss – at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, as part of the “Meet the Author” series spon-
sored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the library. Her book, “What Did You Say? An Unexpected Journey Into the World of Hearing Loss,” chronicles her hearing-loss ordeal and the research she undertook to understand it. Her hearingloss work earned her a governor’s appointment to the Commission for Deaf, Deafblind and Hard-of-Hearing Minnesotans, a state board on which she served from 2006 to 2012. Hammond’s talk at the Robert Trail Library will be geared to the general public, she said. “I never go anywhere without talking about noise-induced hearing loss and its prevention,” she said. “Loud-noise exposure – noisy toys, the loud surroundsound systems, the woofers in the cars – it’s 100 percent preventable and it’s a plague going through
