Megan Cater of Lakeville and Briana Martinson of Prior Lake, pleaded guilty on Monday to second-degree murder of Corey Elder, 19. Cater, 19, and Martinson, 21, were facing life in prison at their upcoming trial before the last-minute plea deal. They could now be sentenced to between

Megan Briana Cater Martinson 10 and 16 years in prison. There are six people involved in the death of Elder, who died of a single bullet shot that shattered his spine and fractured

his skull. He also suffered blunt-force trauma to his head and face, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. The blunt-force trauma is believed to be caused from pistol whipping. According to court documents, Cater and Martinson bought drugs from Elder and believed he stole Gabapentin pills from Martinson. Martinson contacted

20-year-old Alec Streit from Lakeville and they planned to get into the apartment by asking to get Xanax only to rob Elder. Streit and Noah John Peterson, 20, of Lakeville, contacted Tarrance Fontaine Murphy, 20, and Maurice Antonio Verser, 33, both of Minneapolis, to get a gun. The six of them planned their attack in the parking lot of Elder’s Bloomington

Mystery resets lead to investigation: an update Two employees of local schools on leave after reports of unauthorized computer access by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The investigation continues as Apple Valley police uncover more details about reports of unauthorized computer access from an Apple Valley home. A Scott Highlands Middle School employee made a report to Apple Valley Police on Friday, Jan. 5 about suspicious activity on her technological devices. Unauthorized factory resets had occurred on her district-issued iPad and her personal cellphone — both of which were connected to the district server. Suspicious of the resets on both of her devices, the employee contacted the

District 196 IT department. After some investigation, they discovered the resets had been performed remotely. The employee also found that her private documents had been transferred to a shared drive within the district. Upon further investigation, the IT department found that their computer systems had been accessed from an outside network for the past 18 months. The Apple Valley Police Department served search warrants, and found that the intrusions were coming from an IP address belonging to an Apple Valley residence owned by Christopher and Andrea Endicott, as well as See COMPUTER, 8A

The Lakeville Area School District is making it easier for families to stay up-to-date on what students are eating during breakfast and lunch. Students and their families are now able to see what’s on the menu easily with the new Meal Viewer app. The app was launched this month and allows parents to view a description of what’s on the menu, undoctored photos of each menu item, nutritional information and what allergens are contained in each meal. Parents can adjust the app to generate a menu with specific allergens crossed off, see carbohydrate data for menu items and get notified when favorite meals are coming up. “We are excited about this new service we are offering and genuinely hope that our district families will find that it’s a valuable tool,� student nutrition supervisor Gayle Smalley-Rader said. District 194 changed its meal charge policy earlier this year. Students and families are notified at the register, and by au-

If there is still a negative balance after all of the notifications, the student will start receiving an alternate meal and a certified letter. “In several situations since the policy was implemented, we progressed to the registered letter before the family ultimately submitted an application for educational benefits,� Smalley-Rader said. Students who qualify for educational benefits are able to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge. Kindergarten students are eligible for free breakfast in Minnesota as well Smalley-Rader adds.

“Our goal is to provide the best quality nutrition while keeping meal prices as affordable as possible for our families that don’t qualify for education benefits,� she said. “These are families who are caught in the middle and most in need. They often don’t have the financial resources to pay for breakfast or lunch at school.� Elementary school breakfast costs $1.30, regular lunch costs $2.45 per meal. Middle school and high school breakfast costs $1.65 per meal. Middle school regular lunches cost $2.55 per meal with the option of the “big cat� lunch at $3.40. High school regular lunches cost $2.60 per meal with the option for the “big cat� lunch. Recently, members in the community, Lunches for Lakeville and the customers of Board and Baton have raised and contributed funds to pay off the balances of students’ accounts that drop below negative $25. According to SmalleyRader, 156 letters were sent to families in the district who had balances below negative $25 or who had applied for benefits and did not qualify for free or reduced meals.

Precinct caucuses point toward midterm election Delegates to senate conventions, gubernatorial preferences to be decided by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At a time when political division seems to be at its height in America, there’s something liberal and conservative activists can agree on: Precinct caucuses are an important part of the political process. For any political movement to gain traction, it depends on people meeting with others in their own community to talk about issues and forward their thoughts to the next level. That’s how the DFL and Republican parties’ platforms are determined, and it all starts with precinct caucuses. “The issues that people talk about will naturally vary across the state, and even across communities, but the issues will be determined by the caucus attendees,� said Nancy Stroessner, Senate District 57 DFL chairperson. “Caucuses also offer opportunity to get involved in the political process,� said Senate District 57 Republicans chair Pat Staley. “They are a chance for your voice to be heard in selecting other candidates and shaping party platforms. Caucuses are an

FRAUD, from 1A resident $66,000. Lakeville Police Det. Tony Hokanson took the lead on the case after the report was initially filed in September 2016. “It pulled at my heartstrings a little. ‌ Getting taken advantage of sometimes happens with our seniors,â€? Hokanson said. According to the criminal complaint, the Lakeville resident was closing on a real estate transaction. Email instructions were sent to him explaining how to send the money to a Bank of America account. The email was sent from a person who appeared to be employed by

open door ensuring that our democracy is inclusive and participatory, rather than a sometimes distasteful spectator sport. They are also a chance to meet other people from your neighborhood who share your political beliefs.� People can prepare their platform ideas prior to caucus night using forms from the DFL and GOP websites. Those forms are located at https://tinyurl. com/yca45r76 (DFL) and https://tinyurl.com/ y752trt4 (GOP). The connections that are made at these meetings are also important because a precinct chairperson and vice chairperson are selected along with delegates to the senate district convention. The DFL has a form available for nominating someone for party position even if they are unable to attend caucus night at https://tinyurl.com/ y7dflk7k. The GOP also allows people to nominate people for positions if they are not in the precinct room. The names of those people can be written down on the nomination sheet and typically a person will speak for a minute on the person’s behalf. A gubernatorial pref-

erence ballot will be conducted, and most locations have registration that begins as a early as 6 p.m. along with time for speeches from party leaders or candidates. “Attending 2018 precinct caucuses for the party of your choice gives every Minnesotan the chance to impact who our next governor and U.S. senators will be; caucuses are the opening step of the process by which candidates are endorsed by the parties,� Staley said. Organizers suggest that people plan to arrive early. As has been the case in many of the past years, parking lots at the sites fill up fast as sometimes people have had to park on nearby streets and walk a good distance. “Some of the business conducted at caucuses is time-sensitive by state law, so please plan to arrive early so business can begin promptly,� Staley said. It’s best to be prepared to know the city precinct where you live so you know what room to gather in at the larger locations in the high or middle schools. Many senate district websites offer more information about each caucus site, so it’s worth checking

those online before attending. Senate district party conventions are the next item on the calendar in advance of the 2018 election. They are planned in March at various locations throughout the area. More information about those will follow in a future edition. These conventions not only need delegates to make endorsements, but they also need volunteers to help plan with such activities as logistics, rulemaking, credentials, nominations and resolutions. To find out how to volunteer for upcoming conventions, contact the local party leaders. “As to why I and so many other volunteers are spending our time working on this process, well, I think we would all have different answers,� Stroessner said. “But the heart of things, to all of us, is the desire that everyone with the right to vote in the U.S. avail themselves of that right. We believe in democracy and in the power of ‘we, the people.’ �

the title company. He learned the email was fraudulent two days later at the scheduled closing. “We really needed to run with this and do what we can to try to best serve the victim in this case,� Hokanson said. According to Hokanson, his involvement in the investigation went from September 2016 to June 2017. He began the investigation by writing out 11 search warrants to “follow the money,� which is typical for fraud cases. When Hokanson spoke with the alleged victim he was able to receive more information about the transaction and the

emails. The email with the instructions corresponded to the title company and included a display name; however the header information showed a different sender. The Bank of America account was opened by Zhou in 2010 under the name Happy Ocean Inc., with a Lakeville address. The bank records show funds were deposited in the account on Sept. 28, 2016. Funds totaling $98,000 were wired that same day to an individual with an account at First Gulf Bank located in the United Arab Emirates. Within a few days, cash withdrawals were made, additional wire transfers

were made to Citibank and another Bank of America account. Hokanson received assistance from the Minnesota Commerce Bureau and had and officer in California interview Zhou for additional information. “As it all unfolded, it was determined there were two additional victims in Minnesota that sent money to the same suspect but different accounts,� Hokanson said. Zhou claimed during questioning her cousin, who lives in China, operated Happy Ocean with her. Zhou sent an email to an investigator explaining her cousin was referring her inquiry to his business partner, “Gerald Moretti,� who was a U.S. citizen currently in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Zhou allegedly used different scenarios in order to scam the victims. While the Lakeville victim was a “real estate transaction,� the other two seniors were victims of a romantic scam. Zhou used the names Teresa Hill and Katie Henshaw while developing online relationships with the victims. Lakeville Police Lt. Jim Puncochar and Hokanson

said they both have seen many scam attempts but none of this caliber. “Periodically we’ll get seniors that are called up on the phone from people saying they’re their grandchild in jail and need money. Most people figure it out. It happens occasionally where the money is deposited or wired,� Puncochar said. Fraud can come in many different forms and range from different amounts of money. A recent attempt was when someone tried to get paid via iTunes gift cards, he adds. “This level of fraud is unusual. That type of transaction with that amount of money usually doesn’t happen,� Puncochar said. There are ways to avoid becoming a victim to potential scammers. Hokanson says a simple phone call to a company confirming the legitimacy of an email is an easy way to protect one’s assets. He also adds that no one should send money to someone they have not met in person. “Always double check something that doesn’t feel right. Don’t feel dumb

about doing that. These are your assets. If you’re ever working with a company that makes you feel bad for making sure everything is secure and safe then you shouldn’t be working with that company,� Hokanson said. Zhou faces up to 20 years in prison, a $100,000 fine or both. She turned over $43,000 to the Minnesota Commerce Fraud Bureau and $20,000 which came from a bank account she maintained at JPMorgan. Those funds are to be used for victim restitution. Puncochar considers this a success story for the department and acknowledges the work of Hokanson. Adding that fraud cases are an uphill battle because they are typically bigger than the city of Lakeville. “We hope that they can find comfort in the fact that someone is being held accountable for the crime. We did the best we could to try to help them out. It makes me feel good that someone got charged for something this heinous,� Hokanson said. Contact Kayla Culver at kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion ‘Wonder’ is best family movie in years by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If I had the power to give an award for “the best, funniest, most inspiring family movie of the year,” there’s no question which one I’d give it to: “Wonder.” I don’t have that ability. But I hope I can convince you that this is one of the best movies in many years to take children and grandchildren to see. “Wonder” is first and foremost about a fifth-grader named Auggie, whose face is different. More than 20 surgeries have given him the ability to breathe, see, eat and hear without a hearing aid. But Auggie’s face is different than everyone else in the school. That leads to frequent challenges with other kids. The school principal and teachers

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan try hard be supportive to help Auggie “fit in.” The educators are skillful and supportive. However, as one person says to Auggie, “You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.” Early in the movie, Daveed Diggs, who is superb as one of Auggie’s teachers, asks him and other students in the class a critical question: “Who is it that I aspire to be?” The teacher explains, “That is the question we should be asking ourselves all the time.”

Mixing humor, frustration and courage, “Wonder” shows how Auggie, other students, his mother, father and sister answer that question. The movie gently encourages each of us to think about this. There are several surprises along the way. This is not a completely predictable movie, which is one of its strengths. Julia Roberts, as Auggie’s mother, and Owen Wilson, as his father, are terrific. I think Roberts should have been nominated and probably won Best Actress awards. Jacob Tremblay gives a complex, sometimes heart-rending, complicated and exhilarating performance as Auggie. Izabela Vidovic is wonderful displaying the supportive but complex reactions Auggie’s teenage sister has to the situation. There are many other excellent performances.

You can see a trailer for the movie here: http://bit.ly/2qWctYx. “Wonder” is based on a book with the same name by R.J. Palacio. According to Amazon, the book was a New York Times No. 1 bestseller. I can see why. Though the Oscars and other major award programs ignored “Wonder,” it has been hugely popular among moviegoers. “Wonder” is one of the best family movies in many years. It is art at its best, entertaining and helping us be better people. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, directs the Center for School Change.

Dog owners should not use parks as off-leash areas by James Hughes SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Guest Columnist

I have been walking around Jensen Lake at Lebanon Hills Regional Park with my dog for years and need to speak up about the lack of dog owners following the park dog rules. The rules are simple but about one-quarter of the owners don’t get them or don’t think they pertain to them. Rule 1: All dogs must be on a leash. Simple enough but one out of four dogs are not. What this does to a dog that is on a leash is that it puts them in a very vulnerable position, and the leashed dog knows it. The leashed dog will become very defensive when the unleashed dog comes charging up into their face. My dog has been attacked three times in the last two weeks by

these so-called, under-control trained dogs. Because of this, my trained dog that is on a leash has become very defensive to every dog he now meets on this trail. This is not a dog park. If you want to be off leash go to Doggie Day Care in Apple Valley or an off-leash dog park. This is a wildlife area that deer, coyotes, rabbits, birds, children, adults like to enjoy and they don’t want to or have to meet and greet your so-called, undercontrol unleashed dog. Rule 2: Pick up after your dog. There are piles and piles of dog poop everywhere, even in the dead center of

the walking trail. The No. 1 cause of pollution in our ponds and lakes are pet wastes runoff. And people don’t like stepping in it, walking around it, or look at it on their walk. Pick it up, it is the dog owner’s responsibility. Rule 3: Greeting (This is a dog trainer’s rule, not Dakota Parks). My dog does not have to socialize and greet every dog it meets on the trail. Every dog class (and there were many) I have taken my dogs to over the years does not allow the dogs to socialize while in class unless it is puppy socializing class. As a number of trainers had said: Do you hug or shake hands with every stranger you meet on the trail? Then why would you expect or force your dog to? And many of these dogs including those on leash are not well trained and the last thing the owner wants is for me to

have my dog in their dogs space. Again, greeting and socializing is why I take my dog to Doggie Day Care and dog parks. These are places where all dogs are unleashed and on even ground and where all people there like dogs. The majority of people walking around Jensen do not have dogs. Most of these people do not want to meet my dog, have him jump on them or their children or step in their poop. If they do want to meet my trained, on-leash dog, they will ask. So I will put it as simple as possible: Dog owners need to realize it’s not all about them, follow the park rules so all people can enjoy this beautiful park.

porations a wise move for consumers and also allows them to compete with foreign companies. There are persons who constantly complain of the pernicious influence of wealth. They cry out loudly against all corporations in which capitalists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results. They would choke the foundation of industry and dry all streams, even those that serve them best. A country cannot be taxed into wealth. And tax cuts have real advantages unless someone else appears to benefit more. I do believe that Lewis’ idea that the tax cuts are good for the economy is right on target! RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

Show our ‘Minnesota nice’ To the editor: How disappointing. We all had great hope and expectations for the Vikings to win on Sunday and go to the Super Bowl. Some were mildly sad, others devastated. I get this, and we need to grieve the loss. I am not much of a sports fan but still got caught up in the excitement of wanting our team to rise up and win. So why am I writing my opinion? A couple of things struck me Monday morning as I read the newspaper and thought about this whole situation. First was how beer was thrown on Vikings fans in Philadelphia before the game and after the tragic loss to the Eagles. This seemed like such a demeaning action, and I can only imagine how that felt. Another is pondering how we as Minnesotans will respond to this defeat as visitors stream into our city for the upcoming events and eventual game Feb. 4. I believe we have a choice here, and my hope is for this: That we would, in spite of the heart-breaking loss, be the best hosts that we can be. That we would welcome everyone coming to our city, and that we would be gracious and kind. That we would be the better person and

not respond to any rudeness or arrogance with the same, but show care and love. My hope is that our city would be a place where there is peace and that we would, in spite of this loss, be able to find joy in the celebration of the two teams who have earned a place to compete on game day. Wouldn’t it be cool if people left here saying: “There is something different about those people in Minnesota and I like it.” Let’s demonstrate to them what a true, genuine “Minnesota nice” really looks like.

To close digital divide, it must be identified To the editor: Despite the potential for broadband to modernize the economy in rural America, access and availability continue to lag. The President Donald Trump’s recent executive order affirmed this limitation and the need to commit resources to close rural America’s digital divide. Yet, the ability to pinpoint where service is and is not available is fundamental to closing the digital divide in rural areas. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, funding was allocated to establish a comprehensive nationwide map of existing broadband capability and availability. Funding for this program ended in 2014. Some states, like Minnesota, have adopted legislation or maintained this degree of regulation which require internet service providers to provide access and speed availability data at a granular level. However, reporting standards vary and often allow for telecommunication services to be reported at the census block level. In many rural areas, census blocks span entire counties, leaving room for error in reporting service availability. The accuracy of data collected from internet service providers is an important tool used to deter-

mine where broadband access is sufficient and where it can be improved. This data is invaluable to state agencies and local entities to identify where public resources should be invested. For the 23 million rural Americans who do not have broadband speed access, census block data is not sufficient to recognize and address the broadband gap. As federal and state governments seek to close rural America’s digital divide, it is imperative that gap is closed at the granular level, where it exists. JORDAN RASMUSSEN Center for Rural Affairs

Thanks to law enforcement To the editor: On Jan. 10, Dakota County Technical College went through what could have become a college’s worst nightmare – the potential of an active shooter on campus. Thinking one of our students had observed a person with a gun on campus, a student did the right thing and reported the incident. Fortunately, that observation proved inaccurate, and our students, faculty and staff were never in danger. Based on the information we had at the time, our security officer, a Dakota County Sheriff’s deputy, acted swiftly to secure the campus. Within minutes, we had law enforcement officers from Rosemount, Apple Valley, Burnsville and the sheriff’s office responding to the possible threat. Because of their swift and coordinated action, the college was secured and declared safe in a little more than an hour. On behalf of my colleagues, our students and their families, I want to thank the officers from all the jurisdictions that responded to DCTC. We deeply appreciate law enforcement’s actions to safely and professionally ensure the safety of everyone on campus.

COMPUTER, from 1A an IP address belonging to Lakeville Area School District 194. Christopher Endicott is a District 194 employee working as principal of Century Middle School. He was first hired in District 194 in August 2012 after serving as principal of Shakopee Junior High School. When the investigation began, he was put on paid administrative leave. In an email to District 194 parents and guardians sent Wednesday, Jan. 17, Lakeville Area Public Schools Superintendent Michael Baumann said the safety and security of students is his top priority. He met with the Apple Valley Police Department to learn more about the investigation. “While I do not have all of the details concerning the complaint at this time, I can tell you with confidence that this investigation is not related to students in any way,� Bau-

mann said. Andrea Endicott, Christopher’s wife, is an employee of District 196 working at Scott Highlands Middle School. She was first hired in District 196 as a full-time counselor at Scott Highlands in August 2011. Beginning in 2014, she started dividing her time between counseling and discretionary leave. This school year she is a counselor and communications teacher. She was also put on administrative leave, as of Jan. 12. District 196 Communications Director Tony Taschner said a complaint was filed against Andrea Endicott, but the nature of that complaint is not yet public information. The Apple Valley Police Department is continuing its investigation in partnership with the Dakota County Electronics Crimes Unit. Local police are working closely with the Dakota County Electronic Crime Task Force. “One of our investigators is assigned to that

Costco in Eagan? Retail warehouse submits plans to city by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Costco could be coming to Eagan. The membership-based retail warehouse has requested approval of a comprehensive guide plan amendment from the city to build on an 18.1-acre lot east of Highway 55 and north of Blue Gentian Road. It would be just southeast of I-494/35E interchange on property that has been for looking for a tenant for more than 10 years. Plans include a 166,000-square-foot building with a gas station, tire center and liquor store. Costco would employ approximately 150-250 people both full and part time. The project still has several steps before it’s officially approved. The Eagan Advisory Planning Commission approved the measure during a public hearing Tuesday although several members said they were undecided since the property is surrounded by office buildings. The city would need to change the zoning from major office to retail commercial. The Eagan City Council and Metropolitan Council would need to review and approve the comprehensive guide plan amendment since it’s a zoning change. The site was zoned for a business park in 2008, but the approved office development has never been constructed and the site has remained vacant. Andy McIntosh, vice president of development with McGough, the company that put together the property, said they have spent several years marketing the space for office. He said there are some topography challenges with the site and the market for new space has been tight. “We view the partner-

Sports Notes: North girls edge Tigers, eye Eastview showdown by Mike Shaughnessy

ence game Dec. 12, and the Wildcats also have a league game remaining with Rosemount on Feb. 10.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North rallied from a six-point halftime deficit to defeat Farmington 55-53 on Tuesday night in a game each team likely needed to win to retain realistic hope of winning the South Suburban Conference girls basketball championship. North is 7-2 in the conference after Tuesday’s victory and trails league leader Eastview by 1.5 games. Eastview’s game against Burnsville on Tuesday was postponed and will be rescheduled, although no makeup date has been announced. Farmington is 6-3 in the league and is tied for third with Lakeville South. Lakeville North gets a rematch with Eastview at home at 7 p.m. Friday after losing to the Lightning 62-59 in overtime on Dec. 12. Even if the Panthers defeat Eastview, they will need the Lightning to lose at least one more conference game to have a chance at first place. Eastview remained 15-0 overall and 8-0 in the conference after Tuesday’s postponement. Lakeville North, 13-4 overall and ranked fourth in Class 4A by Minnesota Basketball News, had 17 points from sophomore guard Lauren Jensen, who was one of four Panthers players to score in double figures. Taylor Brown scored 12 points and Ke James and Analiese Tschida had 10 each. Fo u r t e e n t h - r a n ke d Farmington (11-5) couldn’t hang on after holding Lakeville North to 20 first-half points. Sophomore guard Molly Mogensen had a gamehigh 22 points to lead the Tigers. Ellie Clayton had

Analiese Tschida of Lakeville North brings the ball upcourt during the Panthers’ 55-53 victory at Farmington on Tuesday night. North plays host to undefeated and No. 1-ranked Eastview on Friday. 12 points and Sophie Hart scored 10. Farmington plays host to Apple Valley at 7 p.m. Thursday. Apple Valley is 5-4 in conference play after losing to Lakeville South 52-48 on Tuesday, but the Eagles (9-8 overall) are 8-3 in their last 11 games.

Boys hockey Eastview prevented Rosemount from breaking from the pack in South Suburban Conference boys hockey, but the Lightning’s stay in first place lasted only a couple of days.

Eastview defeated Rosemount 3-0 on Saturday at Apple Valley Sports Arena, giving the Lightning its second victory of the season over the Irish and creating a tie for first place in the South Suburban. On Tuesday, however, Eastview’s 3-2 loss to Lakeville North and Rosemount’s 2-0 victory over Burnsville put the Irish back in first place by two points. Trevor Lunde made 30 saves and Nate Bordson, Luke Barron and Jack Young scored in Saturday’s victory, which ended Rosemount’s 12-game

winning streak. Eastview also defeated Rosemount 5-1 on Dec. 5. The Lightning is responsible for two of Rosemount’s three losses this season. Eastview (14-4 overall, 8-3 conference) lost at Lakeville North on Tuesday despite outshooting the Panthers 35-15. Lenny Nunn and Bordson had second-period goals for the Lightning. Mason Wheeler scored two power-play goals 32 seconds apart in the third period of Rosemount’s home-ice victory over Burnsville on Tuesday. One came on a 5-on-3 ad-

While hardly surprising, it’s now official – Apple Valley boys basketball point guard Tre Jones has been invited to the McDonald’s All-American Game, to be played March 28 in Atlanta. Jones is the only Minnesota player selected for this year’s game, which features 24 of the nation’s top high school seniors. Jones’ brother Tyus, Apple Valley’s all-time leading scorer, played in the game four years ago. Tre Jones, who signed with Duke in November, is averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the defending state Class 4A champion Eagles. Apple Valley has won three in a row since senior guard Luke Martens, the team’s second-leading scorer, returned to the lineup. Martens, a Winona State recruit, missed more than a month because of fractures in both wrists. Apple Valley defeated Lakeville South 76-69 on Tuesday in a game that featured the South Suburban Conference’s two Mr. Basketball award nominees – Jones and Lakeville South forward Shae Mitchell. Jones had a triple-double with 24 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. Mitchell had 16 points and four rebounds. Martens had 11 points and eight rebounds in his third game since returning to the Apple Valley lineup.

vantage and the second was on a 5-on-4. The Irish improved to 14-3 overall and 9-2 in the conference. Jake Ratzlaff assisted on both goals and Ben Garrity made 31 saves for his third shutout in the last four games and fourth overall. Rosemount plays host to Prior Lake at 7 p.m. Saturday. It’s too soon to call it a two-team race for the South Suburban title. Eastview goes to thirdplace Eagan (7-3 in conference play) at 3 p.m. Email Mike Shaughnessy at Saturday.

Playing for Patrick means making a difference Heart screenings for young athletes continuing three years after Patrick Schoonover’s death by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Williams, fellow SSC stars champs again with North Dakota State by Matthew Davis CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Former Rosemount football star Dimitri Williams of North Dakota State University knew well how tight the pass coverage would be in the Jan. 6 FCS championship game. Williams and fellow receivers struggled to get open in a season-ending semifinal loss to James Madison in 2016 FCS semifinals. James Madison won 27-17 and went on to claim the FCS crown, ending the Bison’s five-year reign. “We were hungry,” Williams said. “We had that in mind all throughout spring, all throughout summer, all throughout this fall. We knew coming out here, it’s going to be a battle.” Williams did his part in restoring the Bison at the top this time around in a 17-13 win over James Madison for the 2018 FCS title. He caught two passes for 20 yards, including a 14-yard catch, and a he returned a kick 14 yards. “Ninety percent of the game is blocking,” Williams said. “Only one guy can carry the ball, so you’ve got to just do your job every time you’re out there on the field.”

That included doing his part on a 50-yard TD pass from junior quarterback Easton Stick to junior wide receiver Darrius Shepherd in the second quarter. Besides the longest play from scrimmage in the game, the Bison had to grind out drives with short plays. NDSU captured its sixth FCS championship in seven seasons. Former Lakeville North football standout Zach Ziemer, a senior offensive guard who played in the title game for the Bison, got to end his career a champion. Ziemer has seen action as a backup since the 2014 season. Fellow senior one-time Lakeville North star Greg Menard, a senior defensive end, didn’t play Jan. 6 due to a season-ending injury in fall camp. Menard received a medical redshirt and will play again next fall. Former Apple Valley standout Noah Sanders also didn’t play since the Bison freshman quarterback redshirted this season. The same went for one-time Farmington star Tanner Sundt, a freshman defensive end for the Bison.

Dozens of young athletes lined up in a meeting room in Eagan Civic Arena earlier this month, perhaps questioning why they needed to be there. They had their heights and weights recorded. They got blood pressure checks. An electrocardiogram monitored their bodies’ electrical signals, and an echocardiogram took pictures of their hearts. They met with medical professionals who explained what the results meant. Most went through the screening without having any warning signs detected. For a couple of teenagers, problems were detected that could affect their ability to play sports in the future. After taking a visitor on a tour of all the activity, Mike Schoonover was asked, would his son be alive today if this was available a few years ago? “Yes, if we had taken advantage of it.” But that was part of the problem. Large-scale screening programs for young athletes didn’t exist in Minnesota on Nov. 14, 2014, when Patrick Schoonover died after collapsing on the ice during a youth hockey game in Brainerd. He would have been a junior at Eastview High School this year. A medical examiner told the Schoonover family Patrick died of previously undiagnosed heart defects. If Patrick ever felt chest pains or any other symptoms of heart trouble, he never told his parents, Mike Schoonover said. Since then, Schoonover, his wife Gayle and their surviving children Abby, Anna and Matthew, have been trying to do what-

After losing their son Patrick about three years ago to an undiagnosed heart defect, Gayle and Mike Schoonover have been trying to prevent other young athletes from suffering the same fate. ever they could to prevent something similar from happening to anybody else. They started the Patrick Schoonover Heart Foundation, which stages heart screenings for young athletes and donates automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to schools and youth organizations. Since 2015, a dozen screenings have taken place throughout the Twin Cities, including the most recent Jan. 13 in Eagan, held in conjunction with the Play for Patrick youth hockey tournament. Approximately 180 students were screened at the Eagan event; 240 were tested at an event at Eastview High School last fall and 150 more were seen in White Bear Lake. “There are a lot of blood pressure issues, we’re finding,” Mike Schoonover said. “That may just be because of the activities of the day, but we’re recommending to the kids that have abnormalities that they follow up with their family doctor, keep an eye on it and pay attention to it. “We think our kids are invincible, that they’re not going to have any heart issues or high blood pressure because that’s all stuff (that happens) when

you get older. That’s not the case.” Not long after Patrick’s death, the Schoonovers, who are Eagan residents, had an idea for something they could do in his memory and traveled to Washington state to see the program in action. “We learned this all from an organization in Seattle called the Nick of Time Foundation,” Mike Schoonover said. “It was the same type of situation, where a boy passed away and his mom and her sister started the foundation. They’ve been at it 10 years, working with the University of Washington in doing their screenings. We traveled out there to learn, actually attended a screen and saw what it was all about, then brought it back to Minnesota. “There are a lot of these organizations around, but some only do the EKG. Some only do the echocardiogram. We think if you only do one, you’re only seeing part of the picture.” About a year ago, the Schoonovers learned one of the Play for Patrick screenings flagged a young athlete who was found to have a condition similar to Patrick’s. “Patrick had a bicuspid

aortic valve and he also had an aortic aneurysm,” Mike Schoonover said. “The aneurysm is what caused his death. The aneurysm burst when he got checked. If we would have found this, Patrick would have been able to have surgery to fix it, but he would not have been able to play contact sports. He could have played golf, could have done something else.” Patrick’s condition was described as one in 5,000, “so it was pretty rare,” Mike Schoonover added. “But if you have an auditorium full of 100 kids, chances are one or two of them have some kind of issue.” In the three years following Patrick’s death, the Schoonover family remains puzzled about why medical professionals didn’t make more of what Mike Schoonover said was their son’s high blood pressure. “Patrick had four physicals his last two years of life. Two of them were sports physicals. All four times his blood pressure was high, extremely high, but nothing was ever said,” his father said. “Our other mission is that families need to advocate for their own health, be aware of what’s going on, know what high blood pressure is. “If one time the doc had said, ‘This is really high. We’re going to check it again and if it’s still high, you should follow up with a cardiologist,’ that would have saved Patrick’s life. We had four opportunities. The whole idea behind this is to make sure people know that just because they’re kids doesn’t mean they can’t have these issues. This is not an old person’s disease.”

Vikings fans raise over $11,000 for Eagles’ charity Farmington woman started campaign after Vikings lost NFC championship game

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Last Sunday, the Vikings loss against the Philadelphia Eagles had many Minnesota fans bummed, and Jessica Brennan Leibrock was no exception. Brennan Leibrock, her husband, and their two girls are all Vikings fans, so they took the loss pretty hard. And when they learned about the way some Eagles fans treated Vikings fans, Brennan Leibrock said they became even more upset. In some videos, Eagles fans are shown throwing beer cans and yelling expletives at Vikings fans. Though they could’ve responded with anger of their own, Brennan Leibrock and her husband decided to go the opposite route. “(The Eagles fans’ behavior) made us, at first,

really, really angry ‌ no fan base should be dealing with that anywhere, but then at the same time realizing ‌ it wasn’t the time to be spiteful back,� Brennan Leibrock said. Knowing that Minnesota will host the Eagles on Feb. 4, Brennan Leibrock decided that it would be an opportunity to show good sportsmanship. A few hours after the Vikings’ loss, she started a GoFundMe page, and the Vikings Brotherly Love campaign was born. Proceeds from the fundraising site go the Eagles Charitable Foundation. The goal is to raise $38,000 — $1,000 for every point the Eagles scored against the Vikings. Brennan Leibrock and her husband were inspired by another recent fundraising event. After the Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, Vi-

kings fans donated over $170,000 for Saints punter Thomas Morstead’s foundation, What You Give Will Grow. The Vikings Brotherly Love campaign aims to replicate that giving spirit and welcome the Eagles to the Super Bowl in Minnesota nice fashion. “(We’re doing the campaign) as kind of a yes, some of your fans weren’t great, yes you kicked our butt, but welcome to Minnesota for the Super Bowl kind of gesture. We are gracious here, we are kind and we’re going to be good sports about the whole thing, really. It’s about so much more than football,� Brennan Leibrock said. So far, the comments on the GoFundMe page have been mostly positive from Vikings fans who want to channel their disappointment into something positive. But Brennan Leibrock said that

some Eagles fans have also left comments. “What’s been surprising to us is all of the Philly fans who are responding ‌ a lot of them have apologized for the fans who were behaving terribly and have said that’s not what the Philly fans are about. They’ve donated, there’s even been a kind of grassroots campaign that’s spawned up for this too, with Philly fans donating to the Vikings’ charitable foundation,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. Hopefully that causes a chain reaction of generosity, Brennan Leibrock added. “How cool would it be if it really started to trend? ‌ What if it continues across the country in all different kinds of sports? How awesome would that be?â€? Brennan Leibrock said. The situation of a team losing the NFC champi-

Eagles off the plane and hand them their check and say, ‘Welcome to our state. Good game, we’re over it, good luck.’ That would be really a cool example to set,â€? Brennan Leibrock. As diehard Vikings fans, Brennan Leibrock and her husband already thought their team had the best fans. But the thousands of dollars raised so far has made that belief even stronger. “We knew this fan base was amazing ‌ but seeing the response has just confirmed that 100 times. It’s great to be reminded of the good in people,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. More information about the Vikings Brotherly Love campaign can be found at www.gofundme. com/vikingsbrotherlylove.

onship and then having to host the Super Bowl and welcome the team that just beat them isn’t a common occurrence. But it’s an opportunity that Vikings fans can use in a positive way. “Obviously nobody wanted to see our season end that way, but it did and we have to move forward. ‌ We’ve got a chance here to take the high road and really show the Eagles and their fans and everybody what we’re made of,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. As of Wednesday morning, the campaign had already reached $11,869 of its $38,000 goal — raising over $10,000 in just one day. While it would be great to reach that goal, Brennan Leibrock says she hopes the Vikings get involved, too. “Just as an act of sportsmanship, I’d love to see Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs welcome the

Outdoors writer to speak at Meet the Author Bloomington author Tim McDonnell, who has an affinity for writing stories about his time spent in the Northwoods, will be the featured speaker during the Friends of the Robert Trail Library’s Meet the Author at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5. This was originally slated for Jan. 22, but was postponed due to a snowstorm. McDonnell is the author of “The Whole Forest for a Backyard,� which was a finalist for the 2013 Northeast Minnesota Book Awards, and his most recent book is “The Contemplative Paddler’s Fireside Companion.�

His says his first book is about a boy with a large imagination reared in one of our nation’s most cherished wilderness areas. It is mostly about the author’s growing up years in the 1950s and 1960s at the resort his parents owned 32 miles into the boreal forest from the town of Grand Marais. Far more than a sentimental journey into the past, it is described as a story of triumphs, tragedies, and transitions revealing the cathartic powers of nature. McDonnell says the lessons are more relevant today since our need to re-

connect with the wild has never been greater. His says his new book is not a “how-to� manual for paddlers but a “whydo� volume exploring the spiritual core of paddle trip experience. The book is filled with clarity, spirit, and self-effacing humor. McDonnell grew up in the wilderness of northeastern Minnesota on the periphery of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The event is free to attend. The Robert Trail Library is at 14395 S. Robert Trail.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville Jan. 26, 2018 17A

Thisweekend SUPER VOLUNTEERS Dakota County turns out in force to help with the Super Bowl Earlier this month, Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune posted an item on Facebook asking who from Dakota County would be volunteering during the Super Bowl. The newspaper received several responses and sent a questionnaire to the initial blast of respondents. The newspaper has separated the responses by city, but people can read the whole batch of questionnaires at SunThisweek.com. 1) What is your Super Bowl position and duties? 2) Why did you want to volunteer/work the Super Bowl events? 3) How long have you been a Vikings fan? What has been the best part of being a Vikings fan? 4) A big part of the Super Bowl is to show visitors what a great place the Twin Cities are. What is one aspect of living here that you’d like to convey to visitors?

my kindergarten students wrote a story together about the “Gingerbread Man Loose at the Vikings Game.� We ended up getting the story made into a hardcover book. We loved it so much we sent copies to the characters in the story; Tina Rexing the Baker (of T-Rex cookies), and the Minnesota Vikings. Well, they liked it so much that they sent Stefon Diggs to my classroom and he spent well over an hour with my kindergarten students reading the book and talking to them. He is an amazing person with a heart of gold. I had a set of adorable triplets that are very shy. Many staff aren’t able to get them to talk, but Stefon Diggs was able to! It was priceless. So since those two experiences, I have become the biggest Vikings fan! I also am completely amazed by the team this year and their good hearts and leadership. It makes me so proud to have such a great role model for my students. 4) I absolutely love the Twin Cities. I love new adventures and all of the opportunities in our area. My family loves to explore and do new activities each season. We have been all over and experienced ev-

1) I am a skyway host. I help visitors get to the different parts of downtown Minneapolis including Super Bowl Live, the Super Bowl Experience, and US Bank Stadium. 2) I am a football fan and absolutely loved to be involved. I am a mom of three kids and I am very involved in their sports activities. I also am a teacher and enjoy fun opportunities. I offer a ski club for our school and have also done tech club, American Girl club etc. I love Minnesota and am excited about my new gear. 3) Raised in Minnesota, I have always been a Vikings fan! However I became the strongest fan with two situations in my life. The first is when I lived in Wisconsin and taught first grade. The staff were diehard Packer fans and I would not even think of cheering for the Packers. We had a ton of fun rival situations and it made me dig my roots deep down for the Vikings ... no matter how much they hassled me! The second is when I had the amazing opportunity last May 2017, when Sheri Soens

Sheri Soens 1) I will be working on Nicollet Mall at Super Bowl Live 2) I love football and wanted to big a part of something big. I have worked many years, and couldn’t volunteer, now that I am retired I have the time and want to volunteer for things big and small to make a difference. It’s not all about the paycheck. 3) I grew up in Minnesota and was a Vikings fan since birth (lol), when I met my hubby I converted to a Packer Fan (sorry), but I cheer for my hometown team and am excited for what’s to come and proud to be a Minnesotan. I love when the fans are excited about their team and fans from around the United States come together and cheer their team on. 4) Come to Minnesota, we have so much to offer and to do here. We have four seasons and the winter months may be dark and cold early but come see and explore our great state. We have a great bus and light rail system. We have bikes around for your to rent and explore. We have 10,000-plus lakes. I love Minnesota, and we are Minnesota nice.

Apple Valley girl named MDA ambassador 11-year old raises awareness for muscular diseases and funds for research by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lots of needles — that’s what Abby Loch remembers about her long journey to being diagnosed as a manifesting carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Loch was 9 years her old when her family finally learned the answer to the medical mystery that they’d been investigating since she was 3. Now, she’s giving back. For the next year, the 11-year old from Apple Valley will attend and help organize local events that will increase awareness and sponsor research for the muscular diseases. “She’s bubbly and outgoing and tells all kinds of great stories,� said MDA family care specialist Christina Nielsen. “She’s just a wonderful girl.� Loch’s bright personality and her passion for helping other people affected by similar diseases have earned her the position of Minnesota state ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Nielsen said Loch’s story makes her a great ambassador for the program because she will be able to relate to and inspire other patients who have also gone through a difficult diagnosis journey.

Abby Loch, of Apple Valley, was recently selected as Minnesota state ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The 11-year-old wants to educate more people about muscular diseases to bring about more understanding and acceptance for those affected by these diseases. Loch’s case is rare. Her affected. parents spent years bring“We wanted to choose ing her from one doctor her because she has a to another.

Although diagnosis is an important part of her story, Abby’s main message is more focused on the present. She wants to let others know that being different isn’t a bad thing. Physically, Abby looks like any other girl her age. Most of the impacts of her disease impact her cognitive, respiratory and muscular functions. “I want to show kids why we have to fight for our disease,� Loch said. “I want to show them what the disease is. Just because we are different doesn’t mean it’s OK to be picked on.� Surviving fifth grade can be hard for any student, but it’s been especially difficult for this Diamond Path Elementary student. She was asked to not sign up for one group when its leaders decided Loch wouldn’t be able to keep up with the others. Loch used to participate in dance and swimming, but has also struggled to find a place where she is accepted in those realms. Instead, she’s found activities where she can more fully engage at her level, such as singing with the Allegro Choral Academy. “Our biggest goal is

making sure Abby wakes up happy Abby and making sure she goes to bed at night happy Abby,� Melissa Loch said. “We will make sure that is done every day.� She also attends a week of MDA Camp every year, and she’ll return for her week-away this summer. This free program allows her to spend time doing activities with other kids fighting muscular diseases. “We have so much fun there. Everything is the best part,� Abby said. “Everyone is nice.� Her camp friends call themselves the “Galaxy Girls,� and they stay connected throughout the year to offer each other support through friendship. “She came home and is telling us it is the one place she can go where no one seems to pick up on the differences,� Melissa said. “Everybody there is kind and respectful and is nice. They look past whatever disabilities they may have.� Abby has gained a reputation at camp for her leadership abilities. She enjoys giving camp tours to visitors. “Her first experience with MDA was through the summer camp program. She jumped right in and made a bunch of friends,� Nielson said.

“Right away we noticed her wonderful ability to be outgoing and talk to anyone. More than anything, she is so effervescent, outgoing, so courageous.� Melissa also saw how camp transformed her daughter. “It is so fun to see the growth in her in one week,� Melissa said. “The confidence they build in these kids in a week is amazing.� When asked what her favorite things to do are, Abby replied: “Being happy.� She said she shows it by dancing, singing and coloring. She always tries to have a smile on her face. As an MDA ambassador, she’ll help with events such as Swim to Win for MD and the Muscle Walk. She’ll also be promoting the MDA Shamrocks program, and helping organize a “Fill the Boot� fundraiser with local firefighters. She’ll be Applebee’s, located at 14678 Cedar Ave., promoting MDA on Tuesday, Feb. 27.

the risk from radon is largely preventable. “We want families and residents in our county to know that testing for radon is the only way to make sure your home has safe levels. You cannot determine if your home is safe based on a neighbor’s test result,� said Christine Lees, supervisor of disease prevention and control at Dakota County Public

Health. “It is best to test during the winter, when your windows and doors are closed and the air in your home is likely to be at higher levels that can be dangerous to your health.� Testing is easy, inexpensive and only takes three to seven days. Test results will be mailed to residents, and a county representative will follow up if a test indicates high levels of ra-

don. While it is best to test during colder months, it can be done year-round. A list of other test kit vendors, and other radon information, can be found on the Minnesota Department of Health radon website (http://www. health.state.mn.us/divs/ eh/indoorair/radon/). The department also offers an interactive radon levels map.

News Briefs Free radon test kits available Dakota County residents are encouraged to test their homes for radon as the county recognizes National Radon Action Month in January. The Public Health Department has radon test kits available at no cost at the following locations: • Northern Service

Center, 1 Mendota Road W., West St. Paul, Public Health Department, fourth floor. • Western Service Center, 14955 Galaxie Ave., Apple Valley, Public Health Department, second floor. Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in Minnesota soils. It has no color, taste or smell. It can enter homes through

cracks or openings in walls or foundations. It’s the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United States; more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon each year. About two in five Dakota County homes have dangerous levels of radon gas, and about one in five new homes still have dangerous levels. Fortunately,
