Reecting the world outside

The Lakeville Area School District turned to the community during the 2017 year and the community showed its support for its schools. The year also brought on leadership changes. Andrew Sarnow took on the role as the district’s new executive director of business services. Sarnow was previously the chief financial officer at Green Bay Area Public Schools. District 194 School Board unanimously approved his three-year contract on June 27. Sarnow replaced current Superintendent Michael Baumann who held the position since 2013. Michael Baumann took the role as the district’s new superintendent after former Superintendent Lisa Snyder resigned in November after five years in the position. More than 40 candidates applied. Baumann was offered the role and

Superintendent Michael Baumann the School Board unanimously approved his three-year contract during its May 23 meeting. “It’s a lot of fun and a lot of work,� Baumann said after taking the post. Baumann’s leadership started July 1 and over the summer months the district completed more than 50 projects. A few of those projects

included a new parking lot facility and lighting at Eastview Elementary, Century Middle School’s common area was constructed, roofing was done and Lakeville South High School underwent restoration work that cost over $1 million. Several types of mold spores were found during carpet testing. Addressing

the concerns, the seats in the auditorium were steam cleaned and the entire school’s carpeting was replaced. Students involved in athletics, extracurriculars, music and art classes spent time working on their talents with teachers and coaches throughout the year. The Lakeville North High School speech and Lakeville debate teams were awarded the School of Outstanding Distinction Award during the 2017 National Speech and Debate Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama. There were 12 students in the tournament and many of those students won individual awards in categories such as international extemporaneous speaking, informative speaking, drama and humorous. Baumann attributes the success of the students to not only the students but to the staff, coaching, activities leadership and the community.

“We have a dedicated community. Our parents are very involved. Our booster is very involved. We have a very positive image as a community, (which is) largely due to the commitment of our staff and leaders to the kids,� Baumann said. The district also added a unified physical education class, which pairs general education and special education students together to participate in activities, learn from each other and build relationships. This is the first year the class as been in effect in District 194, and the second year it has been in Minnesota. Lakeville North health and physical education teacher Shawn Tatge is part of the curriculum advisory board through Special Olympics and is working to bring the class to other districts nationwide. Lake Marion Elementary was awarded the National Blue Ribbon award. See DISTRICT, 3A

the campaign trail was a top priority. The Senate never got enough support for the bill and was unable to pass it along to Trump. “I will be the first to admit our side did not do a good job of messaging,� said Lewis, speaking April 10 at a Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce event at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. “I spoke passionately on the floor about this — I stand by my support. The status quo is untenable.� Lewis said other accomplishments of the past year were working with Democrats on comprehensive criminal justice reform, the House passage of Lewis’ Juvenile Justice Reform bill and the adoption of 15 Congressional Review Act resolutions “rolling back burdensome, duplicative, and unnecessary biggovernment rules, saving over 4.2 million hours of unnecessary paperwork and $3.7 billion in regulatory costs.� See POLITICS, 8A

The bill also repealed the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that required all people to have health insurance — a key feature of the bill widely referred to as Obamacare.

Lake Marion Elementary school Principal Bret Domstrand kisses Norman the pig after revealing that students and community members raised $24,909 during their annual walk-a-thon fundraiser. Domstrand promised students he would kiss a pig in front of everyone only if they exceeded their fundraiser goal of $23,000. The funds will be put right back into the school to be used for the annual budget to support scholarships for students in need, flexible furniture, activity day, art and music, according to Domstrand.

DISTRICT, from 1A The school was one of 342 schools throughout the country to be included on the list. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognized private and public elementary, middle and high schools that are making significant improvements to close achievement gaps or that have achieved high levels of learning. Lake Marion Principal Bret Domstrand accepted the award from U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in Washington D.C. in November. The school district also made a change by moving the community education program from downtown Lakeville to the Jennifer Pathway building, which was once the Minnesota School of Business. According to Baumann this move reduced expenses and is providing a better facility that is helping to enhance the adult education programs. The 2007 levy referendum passed with 74 percent “yes� votes. School Board members worked throughout the year to communicate to the community what influence renewing the levy would have on the district. The levy secured 6.3 percent of the overall budget, which translated to $692.75 per pupil in funding for the first year, totalling approximately $8 million. Every dollar is split between different services. Seventy-two cents of every dollar goes toward school allocations, 19 cents of every dollar goes toward school services and support and 9 cents of every dollar goes toward district-wide support. The school district also received donations from community businesses to further educate and help support students. Lakeville North High School received $25,000 from Bismarck Tool and Die Co. to purchase a

The plasma cutter is one of many ways Lakeville North is improving its STEM Manufacturing and Engineering pathway. During the first annual Spooktacular Costume 1K Run/Walk organized by Lakeville Family Pet Clinic, community members brought their dogs to support the care and training of the school district’s resource dogs. The fundraiser raised $700. There are five resource dogs located in the school district. The dogs are trained by PawPADS before they are brought into

Eastview Elementary School Principal Taber Akin said he has noticed the effects firsthand. One fourth-grade student was having a tough time going to school, and it helped her to sit next to a dog and read to herself. “No one else could do that. No human, teacher or her mom could help her in that way. The dog did. That’s exactly what we want to have happen,� Akin said. School district parent Craig Pratt took to social media to raise money for

debt schools have acquired for students who are not able to pay for their lunch. Pratt’s goal is to raise $15,000 so each school’s debt will be covered along with a cushion for the future. This year also led to high enrollment thought the schools. There were 178 more students enrolled than the projected number. The number of kindergarten students entering school this year was much larger. “We have a lot of gaps between our entering kindergarten students and our graduating classes,� Executive Director for Administrative Services Tony Massaros said. “And we want to get as much as we can to narrow that, and this is a step in the right direction. In the long run, if it continues, it will certainly help us.� Baumann said he be-

lieves the schools are an attraction to many who relocate to Lakeville.

His goal is to have the district’s operation more “aligned with functional staff management that mimics private sector methodology in order to help get ahead of some of the challenges that are present in a given school year. “What I want to do is bring in a five-year plan not just for finance but for all of our projects,� he said.

Opinion Predictions for 2018 include football, political winners by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The year 2018 promises two blockbusters for Minnesotans: the Super Bowl and the November election. And I have theories about both as well as other topics sure to make headlines in the next year. As for the Super Bowl, the Minnesota Vikings will play and lose in the final minutes, breaking their record of four Super Bowl losses. The well-planned, two-week event will be marred only by unseasonably warm weather, causing the St. Paul ice castle to start melting. The national political spotlight will be on Minnesota when two U.S. Senate positions, the governor’s seat, constitutional officers and control of the Minnesota House and Senate appear on the ballot. I predict that a tidal wave of antiDonald Trump votes, particularly from white suburban, college-educated voters, will result in the Democrats controlling the U.S. Senate. DFL U.S. Rep. Tim Walz will barely beat Republican

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman Tim Pawlenty for the governor seat he once held. There will be a party control change in the Minnesota Senate, and Republicans will keep their majority in the House, buoyed by support from outstate voters. Second District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis will lose his seat, and 3rd District U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen will win in a close vote. Sen. Amy Klobuchar will be reelected, and she will be one of the favorites to run for the 2020 presidency. Tina Smith will be elected to the U.S. Senate seat previously occupied by Al Franken, thanks to a rise in women’s political involvement in Minnesota. There will be a huge turnout of voters at all levels, including precinct caucuses, county, district and state conventions.

Both national political parties will pour money into Minnesota. The Legislature, faced with a budget shortfall, will have to fund more aid for the sick and elderly as the Trump administration and a Republican-controlled Congress cut off some of those federal funds. Health care costs will soar as Congress and Trump try to save money by changing the federal funding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and grant money to states to decide how health care costs will be spent. In the Legislature, look for both the House and Senate to quickly introduce legislation to tighten laws targeting nursing homes and assisted living facilities, protecting elderly residents and mandating immediate reporting of any abuse of those vulnerable residents. Pressure will mount on the Legislature to pass a law increasing the age of purchasing tobacco products to 21 years, but it won’t happen, thanks in part to a campaign mounted by businesses that sell those products.

The Metropolitan Council will be under siege by conservatives, but, except for minor alterations, will stay intact. In the business world, look for retail to remain steady, despite increased online buying by consumers. The hospitality business, fueled by residual fun from the Super Bowl, will be good. On the downside, the poor will struggle even more as the price of affordable housing rises and more mobile home parks disappear. Efforts to increase the minimum wage more than the state law allows will stall as business groups, such as the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, mount efforts to fight it. Finally, look for some, but not all, of these predictions to come true. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc. Send comments to editor. sun@ecm-inc.com.

Letters Economic growth strong To the editor: In his Dec. 21 letter to the editor, Howard Schneider complains he’s seen no analysis to support U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ conviction that tax reform could pay for itself by boosting economic growth. Lewis’ conviction rests on the fact that “predictions of $1 trillion-1.5 trillion increases in (federal deficits) are incorrect because the analyses assume too little economic growth.” Strangely, in an apparent attempt to refute Lewis’ comments, Schneider actually names the very groups and agencies that, in fact, assumed too little economic growth in formulating their dire predictions. Whereas our economy has on average actually grown 3.2 percent annually since 1947, the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation assumed baseline GDP growth of just 1.9 percent, while others Schneider cited used slightly higher baseline assumptions near 2.2 percent GDP growth. In other words, there are good reasons for Lewis and others to doubt the glum forecasts Schneider and fellow pessimistic DFLers like simply because they fit their ideological lenses. Indeed, the final three quarters of 2017 saw economic growth of 3 percent or greater. What is heartening, however, is to see the Democrats’ sudden concern for debt and deficits. Let’s see how sincere they are by how urgently and authentically they join the next critically important effort to reduce federal spending – a priority that’s time also has come. I look forward to being surprised.

other group called “Indivisibles.” Bottom line, they are the same — the “resistance.” They call themselves “grassroots” and use all kinds of language that makes them look like a religious movement, to hide their agenda, which is to replace our government with a socialist-progressive system. They use the buzz words: social justice, sustainability, protecting reproductive rights, prevent voter suppression, etc. Indivisibles have books and formal guidelines outlining the “how to”: “pressure legislators” by using “the most effective tactics recommended by experienced congressional staffers” and how to “revolt” using a “virtual tool box” and “momentum-based organizing.” These books and guidelines are written by people that idolize: France Fox Piven, Hugo Chavez and Noam Chomsky. In the past, these “resistance” groups would be considered subversive.

journalism. This is a no small effort. The Minnesota group claims that they meet with Sen. Amy Klobuchar to “present our weekly concerns.” All this information is available by quick searches. Isn’t there anyone in the press that’s curious about these people, who funds them, how connected they are with Congress, what’s being pushed on our children by their agenda? When they show-up at demonstrations, will the press tell the whole story? How many more groups are connected? Today, the hot button is Russia, Russia and more Russia. Here’s a group, embedded in our country, causing disruption and chaos and very little is known to the general public. Please tell your neighbors, it’s time to sound the alarm.

ing the national debt, in part, by poor trade deals and in equal part by giving billions to terrorist nations like Iran. Our tax rate was 39 percent here as small business owners and that sort of taxation has run many small businesses into the ground nationwide. The business climate has been so hostile (anti-American) that these constant hikes in taxation were essential. Most of this deficit increase has been the result of extremely poor judgment and zero business experience on the part of the past several presidents. Obama personally drove the deficit like a Harley rider on steroids. There is literally nothing President Donald Trump could do to make this economy worse except continue on the errant and destructive pathway of the previous eight years and the prior past presidents greed and ignorance. Re-

Taxes — I will remember To the editor: I find it hard to believe California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s excuses for not supporting the tax bill, claiming it’s only for the wealthy, it will hurt charities and destroy the economy. As a retired person who raised three children as a single mother, I’m not even close to being wealthy, but my living expenses are low and I have enough left to donate to church and other charities. Based on figures from last year’s taxes, it appears that I will owe $900 less in taxes over the next year — and no longer need to itemize. On top of that, my 401K is growing much faster than I expected. That means that now I can afford to donate even more to charities I support. Since I now have to take a Required Minimum Distribution from my 401K, I find if I donate

directly from my 401K, it will not only count toward my RMD, but it will also lower my taxable income, since it’s pre-tax money. That means less of my Social Security payments will be taxable. I get the benefit of the higher standard deduction, but I can still donate tax-free without itemizing. It’s win/win for me. And not just me. Based on passage of the tax bill, CVS Health plans to create 3,000 permanent new jobs; FedEx will ramp up hiring and invest in new equipment and technology; Boeing announced a commitment to invest $300 million in areas that directly benefit their employees, such as matched corporate giving, workforce training and education, facilities and workplace infrastructure enhancements; Bancorp, Wells Fargo, and Comcast announced plans for large bonuses to frontline employees, minimum wage increases, increased charitable donations, etc. I have little doubt that other companies will follow. I’m sure there will be a few who won’t qualify for the lower taxes; but, we all benefit when the economy does well. I will remember how people voted and I’m grateful for those legislators like U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis who voted to pass this bill. CANDICE REYES Eagan

TempWorks CEO celebrates milestone Yankee Eye Clinic and Rosemount Eye Clinic donated $500 to the Prior Lake-based Think Great Foundation after it raised funds during November by donating money for each military veteran eye exam and glasses fitting to the nonprofit that provides scholarships to military and veteran spouses for their educational and career goals. From left are Carol and Dr. Russ Osnes from the eye clinics and Erik and Gina Therwanger of Think Great Foundation. In addition to making the donation, the eye clinics provided free copies of the music CD “Bandstand� — a post World War II musical that was recently released on Broadway and stars Eagan High School graduate Laura Osnes, the daughter of Carol and Russ. lieve homeownership is one of the cornerstones of strong communities,� said Crain. “Taking an active leadership role in the communities we serve is one of our company’s core beliefs. I’m honored to have the opportunity to partner with such a distinguished group of community leaders to tackle the critical affordable housing issues affecting individuals, families and economic vitality throughout Minnesota.� As part of Bremer Bank’s ongoing commitment to affordable housing, in March, Bremer Bank partnered with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity on its new Home Loan Impact Fund, agreeing to purchase up to 500 below-market Habitat mortgages over the next four years. This commitment will more than double the number of local families that can partner with Twin Cities Habitat on affordable homeownership. Bremer Bank has branches locally in Eagan and Inver Grove Heights.

David Dourgarian, CEO of Eagan-based TempWorks Software, is celebrating his 10th anniversary as company leader in 2018. TempWorks provides front and back office staffing solutions for staffing agencies of every size. The Dourgarian family has been delivering solutions to the light industrial temporary staffing industry since 1972. Dourgarian’s late grandfather became a Manpower franchisee in Sacramento in 1972 and Dourgarian’s father Greg founded TempWorks Software in 1997 to respond to the growing demand for a software platform to recruit and track applicants for staffing agencies. When David Dourgarian began leading the business in 2008, TempWorks had 40 employees. He has been instrumental in leading the company to record growth from 2008 to 2017, and winning awards for his innovative ideas. The company now has 132 employees and exceeded $21 million in sales in 2016. David Dourgarian is looking towards the future of how his company can help light industry staffing agencies flourish. “Over the next three years, we have at least one client in most major markets who is preparing to go from a 100- or 200-person company to a 1,000-person company. To succeed, they

will need to negotiate all kinds of growth hurdles while never losing sight of their customers and their needs,� he said.

Hawkins named to bank executive group I n d i ana-based Old Nat i o n a l Bank has named Jeff H aw k i n s to its Ex- Jeff e c u t i v e Hawkins Leadership Group, which is comprised of Old National’s senior-most leaders responsible for helping shape all policy and strategy decisions for the company. Hawkins, who currently serves as president/ chief operating officer for Anchor Bank, a division of Old National Bank, has more than 35 years of experience in the banking industry. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota and completed coursework at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and the University of St. Thomas. Hawkins joined Anchor Bank as a charter president over 20 years ago. He remains active in the community, as he is involved with the Minnesota State Fair Foundation, Dakota County Fair and statewide 4-H initiatives. In November 2017, Old National Bank, headquartered in Evansville, Ind., closed its partnership with Anchor Bank. In May 2018, Anchor banking centers and all its lines of business will officially become Old National Bank. Local offices are in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington and Lakeville.

Chamber of Commerce announce 2017 Business Persons of the Year The Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2017 Business Persons of the Year is awarded to a couple who some say clean up the streets. Karen and Ken Wentworth are co-owners of HOBO Inc. and ChemQuest Inc., businesses that manufacture, sell and service car wash soaps and products. Working as a raw material and formulations salesman in 1994, Ken’s customer HOBO Inc. had an issue with a formula for a car wash product. Always enjoying a good challenge, Ken immediately went to work researching the answer, even staying up all night. That was the start of a new relationship with owners Howie Breeggemann and Bobby Wigelsworth of whom HOBO Inc. is named after. Seeing how valuable it would be to have a chemist on staff, the owners offered Ken the opportunity to buy into the company as a full partner. In 1994 the Wentworth team bought into this year old manufacturing business.

cleaning division. Triton and other non-car wash production is housed in a separate building in Farmington occupying another 18,000 square feet. The past 23 years have brought overall growth from 3 to 36 employees, 750 to its current 30,000 square feet, and sales multiplied 85 fold. Ken

Karen has been involved as a volunteer with Lakeville Girls Soccer, Girl Scouts, PTO, Hope for Tomorrow and the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce where she served as Chair in 2012 as well as committees including Business Education, Fall Gala, the Foundation, and Young Entrepreneurs’ Academy. It might be no surprise that one of Ken’s hobbies includes home brewing! He also sings with the Twin Cities Great Northern Union Chorus and Swype, a barber shop quartet. He is also a Rotarian and volunteers as a STRIVE mentor.

They are known for sealing contracts on just a handshake, something unique in today’s business world. “We operate on ethical business practices, and expect our employees, customers, vendors, friends and children to do the same,� said Karen, the accountant of the couple. “When we volunteer, it is with the community’s good will in mind.� The couple was awarded Lakeville’s 2016 Business Education Partner of the Year for their work with Lakeville South’s STEM Academy, mentoring students and sharing their business and industry expertise.

The church provides a main dish, and people are invited to bring a side dish or dessert as they are able. A father with small children said, “Breaking Bread is like stepping back to a time when life was smaller, when faith and community were integrally entwined.

‘Breaking Bread’ at Shepherd of the Valley Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church has a new, casual worship experience on Sundays

at 5 p.m. that includes dinner. This service is called “Breaking Bread,� because there is a full meal in the middle of the service, and also because participants of all ages and faith backgrounds are invited to share Holy Communion together. “This is very different than our other worship services, and different than anything I’ve seen in other places,� said the Rev. Wendy Steger. “There is no big sanctuary, no rows of seating, and we encourage talking during worship. We weave dinner right into the service, and follow dinner with the celebration of Holy Communion. This is actually a modern take on an ancient Christian tradition.� People have the opportunity to tailor the experience to their needs. Families with young children can enjoy the freedom of letting the kids move back and forth between their table and a children’s table with activity bags. Teens through older adults can choose to sit at their own table, sit with people they know, or meet new people. “We’ve seen three generations sitting together, singles and couples meeting for the first time at their table, and families

Comments sought on county road work Dakota County is hosting an open house regarding the reconstruction of County Road 88 in Randolph Township on Thursday, Jan. 11, 5:30-7 p.m. at Randolph Public Schools, 29110 Davisson Ave., Randolph. Dakota County is proposing to reconstruct County Road 88 in Randolph Township, from Highway 56 to Highway 52. The purpose of the project is to improve roadway safety, traffic operations, and the aging pavement and roadbed below. In advance of the reconstruction project, the segment of County Road 88 between Highway 56 and Harry Avenue is being studied in greater detail given additional concerns associated with the Highway 56 intersection, roadway curves and the railroad crossing. There is no formal presentation, so people may come at any time during the open house. The purpose of the meeting will be to share preliminary concepts for roadway reconstruction options, collect feedback from the community and answer questions. Those with questions about the project may contact Jacob Rezac, project manager, at 952-891-7981 or jacob.rezac@co.dakota. mn.us.

iLAB expands across libraries Take your imagination to the next level with state-of-the-art equipment to design and create a variety of art, craft and technology projects. The Dakota County Library has expanded iLAB equipment to more locations, giving residents more access to high-tech tools and hands-on learning experiences.

Many people in the 2nd District called for Lewis to hold a town hall meeting 2017. Lewis said in February “we will figure out a way to do it,� but several times expressed reservations about such an event since “we know it is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the people who worked for Hillary Clinton and my opponent.� Burnsville-Lakeville Indivisible invited Lewis to its own town hall in Dakota County, but Lewis declined. Instead, organizers played video clips of Lewis’s past statements on topics such as immigration, health care, taxes and education. Several people went to the Lewis’ Burnsville office in the past year to protest the Republicans’ health care bill, immigration reform and the tax bill. One group organized by Take Action Minnesota went to Lewis’ Woodbury house to protest in changes to health care. The protest, which took place on the lawn, driveway and doorstep of his private residence, was criticized by Lewis and other Republicans and Democrats. Though a recent Pew Research study showed that less than 50 percent of core conservatives and solid liberals are registered to vote, follow politics closely and vote in every or nearly every election, the signs of increased political engagement can be seen in rallies for and against the current administration.

3D printers, Apple iMac computers and Adobe Creative Suite are now available at Pleasant Hill, Heritage, Robert Trail and Wentworth libraries. Patrons can start working on sewing projects at the Farmington Library with the addition of Janome Schoolmate sewing machines. All equipment and software is available to the public free of charge during regular library hours. The Wescott Library iLAB debuted in July 2016 and had 1,608 hours reserved in the first six months of operation. The 3D printer continues to be the most used piece of equipment. In addition to equipment, iLABs offer free programs to help patrons

get acquainted with technology and inspire ideas for new projects. Classes will give patrons the opportunity to learn how to get started in the iLAB, create 3D designs using CAD tools, and use the 3D printers. Farmington Library offers weekly open studio sessions demonstrating sewing techniques and a chance to connect and craft with other makers. Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings will host an iLAB Open House on Monday, Jan. 29, 4-7 p.m. Demonstrations, project examples and staff will be available to showcase the new 3D printer.

About a dozen letters referred to Eagan resident Angie Craig, who lost by a narrow margin to Lewis in 2016. Interest in the 2018 ballot’s 2nd District seat attracted the attention of Craig and three other candidates. Longtime Rosemount High School teacher Jeff Erdmann said he would be running in May, and Craig, who stepped down from her leadership responsibilities as vice president of global human resources at St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical to focus on her 2016 campaign, officially joined the race in June. Jacob Cassidy, of Apple Valley, started a campaign pledge page this summer as an Independent Progressive, but had not registered with the Federal Election Commission as of this time. “The reason I am running for Congress is because I believe a culture of success is built on respect,� the longtime RHS football coach Erdmann said in a letter announcing his candidacy. “America will only succeed when respect and value are placed on citizens who work hard and sacrifice every day for what they have. This needs to be brought back to the American political forefront.� “We deserve a representative who will listen to everyone — even those we might disagree with — and then work to create a level playing field for every family,� said Craig during her announcement. “I’m ready to use my experience to work to lower health care costs and ensure every family has access to care,� she said. “I’m ready to fight

for public education and more affordable college and job training. I’m ready to fight for good paying jobs and for the Social Security and Medicare benefits that Minnesotans have already paid for. I’m ready to fight Washington to make sure this district is heard and gets what it deserves.â€? Craig lost to Lewis, a longtime radio talk show host, who earned 46.95 percent of the vote, while Craig had 45.16 percent. Independence Party candidate Paula Overby had 7.79 percent of the vote. Overby, of Eagan, announced in November that she would be running for the U.S. Senate seat that was previously held by Al Franken. She made the announcement a few weeks before Franken was accused by a Los Angeles radio talk show host of forcibly kissing her during a rehearsal for a USO Tour show and a photo surfaced that showed Franken appearing to grope Leeann Tweeden while she was sleeping. Franken said on Dec. 7 he would be resigning from the position after several other women accused him of inappropriate sexual touching prior to and during the past 10 years he has served in the Senate. “I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a senator, nothing, has brought dishonor on this institution. ‌ But this decision is not about me. It’s about the people of Minnesota. It’s become clear that I can’t pursue the Ethics Committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator for them,â€? Franken said. He said he would resign Jan. 2. Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Lt. Gov. Tina Smith as the next U.S. senator to fill out the year remaining on Franken’s term.

She says she will vie for the DFL endorsement to run in the fall election.

The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. An opening reception will be held 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 17, with an artist talk at 7. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The Steeple Center is at 14375 S. Robert Trail.

Capitol Two Minnesota legislators also said in November that they would resign, following allegations of sexual harassment. Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-St. Paul Park, announced his plans to step down on Thursday, Nov. 21. Less than two hours later, Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, did the same. Cornish announced his plans to leave office as a way of taking responsibility for his actions. Schoen continues to deny allegations. When his actions were first brought under the public eye, Schoen had said the accusations of sexual harassment were either “completely false� or “taken far out of context.� Their actions came to light after several women went public with their own stories of sexual harassment. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and 2015 House District 56B candidate Lindsey Port — both of whom reported and publicly announced their stories of harassment — worked with Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFLRoseville, to call for the creation of a task force to address issues of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. In response to Schoen’s announcement of resignation, Maye Quade made a statement saying it wasn’t enough. “One senator’s resignation does not change the culture. I want to change the culture,� she said. Special elections were slated to fill both of the vacancies. Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

While at MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport to greet him, family members learned that his flight had been delayed but weren’t immediately told it was because of the emergency landing, KDRTV reported. Authorities later told family members Gutwa had asked for warm water an hour after takeoff and was seen napping by nearby passengers. But soon they saw him gasping for breath, KDRTV reported. Flight attendants got someone to perform CPR,

which lasted for 45 minutes while the crew sought the nearest airport for an emergency landing, KDRTV said. “Griffin Gutwa wanted to help the less privelegd in society by providing them with affordable medical care,� the story said. “He always talked of returning to Kenya where he was born to help alleviate poverty by starting nonprofit organizations to care for the less fortunate in the society.� Donations to the family can be made at www. gofundme.com/griffingutwa.

According to Baumann, it would provide students with more information on different pathways they can take after leaving high school. The district received money through a referendum in 2015 that was dedicated to improving safety and security in the schools. School safety and security is another area Baumann plans to improve on. The continued work aims to

update security systems in the middle schools and add systems into the elementary schools. District 194 was also brought in on the discussion to build a sports dome in Lakeville. According to Baumann, the city and the district are comparing the possibilities of having the dome be built and run by the city and the district or by a private sector entity. No decisions have been made regarding the dome.

No one hurt except chickens; market unscathed by Andy Rogers

by John Gessner An 18-year-old college student from Burnsville died mysteriously Dec. 22 while flying from school in California. Griffin Gutwa, a freshman at the University of San Diego, collapsed abord the plane, which then made an emergency landing in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, according to KDRTV, a Kenyan news outlet. He was pronounced dead at the hospital, KDRTV reported. Gutwa was pursuing a medical career path and was interested in becoming a neurosurgeon “to help the less privileged,� reported KDRTV, which employs an uncle of his. “Griffin Gutwa touched everyone he interacted with, he was softhearted, soft-spoken, very brilliant, respectful and a smart student,� KDRTV reported in a Dec. 26 story. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Gideon K. Gutwa, of Burnsville, was a member of Southview SeventhDay Adventist Church in Minneapolis, where he joined the Pathfinder Club and helped with the church sound system whenever asked, KDRTV said. A graduate of Burnsville High School and the oldest of four children, Gutwa was the first to attend college since the family immigrated to the United States from Kenya

It’s been a challenging start to 2018 for the Fox Family Farm in rural eastern Rosemount. Their front yard still features dozens of Christmas decorations, but in the back yard lies a pile of rubble. A barn across the driveway from the Fox Family Farm Market burned down during the early morning hours of New Year’s Day. Rosemount Fire Chief Richard Schroeder said they were called out about two hours after the ball dropped New Year’s Day morning. The Rosemount, Hastings, Miesville, Hampton and Inver Grove Heights fire departments responded to the barn fire. No one was hurt, but the barn contained chickens. The Fox family leased it out to area farmers. Schroeder said an unknown number of chickens died and the building was a total loss. “If you know Hmong people, they’re very attached to their animals,� owner Joan Fox said. “It’s sad.� Fox said many residents have been worried about the store, which sells seasonal gifts, antiques and pumpkins. “The store is fine,� Fox said. This was the fourth barn fire on the property in owner Richard Fox’s lifetime. The barn that burned down was once filled with hogs. Richard Fox farrowed 6,500 hogs every year until the market declined, Joan Fox said. It’s been a trying month for the Fox family. Richard, 84, had a stroke in December. He’s recovering nicely, Joan Fox said, and plans to return to the farm

Cougar skaters show signs of breaking out of rut South outshoots Chanhassen heavily, settles for tie by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville South boys hockey coach A.J. Bucchino expected some ups and downs with a young roster, and that’s what the Cougars have delivered. But they still went into 2018 with a winning record and gave their coach reason to believe things will improve. Sophomore forward Zack Oelrich scored late in the third period Saturday as the Cougars tied Chanhassen 2-2 at Hasse Arena. Lakeville South outshot the Storm 42-16 and had the puck most of the time, but if they announced “three stars” after the game, Chanhassen goalie Josh Weyandt likely would have been No. 1. The Cougars were 7-4-1 overall after routing Eden Prairie on Tuesday night. They started 5-1 and are trying to regain the form they showed in the first few weeks of the season. The Chanhassen game, while not a victory, was a sign of progress, Bucchino said moments afterward. “It’s a step forward in regard to the work ethic and desperation we showed around the net with 40-plus shots,” he said. “It’s not coming easy to us right now. We’re fighting it a little bit, but

South had to replace a dozen seniors from last year’s team as well as starting goalie Isaiah DiLaura, who could have returned but chose to play junior hockey in British Colum-

bia. In the recent 1-3-1 stretch, “I do know the guys gripped their sticks a little harder. With the lack of experience, they don’t want to make a mistake and they’re not themselves on the ice. We’ll work through it,” Bucchino said. “They’re not stubborn. They want to be taught, they want to get better. Even though we’re a younger group, it’s not an excuse to not have a chance to win every night.” Returning defenseman

Jack Olsen, Zach Zemlak and Dawson Klein, three of the five seniors on the South roster, have helped lead the Cougars. “Our guys on the blue line have been incredibly consistent,” Bucchino said. “The more consistent a player is, the more he’ll be rewarded, and that’s what we have not had. We have not had consistency. But the players realize when they buy into a certain system, they’ll be rewarded, and that’s when they’ll produce.” Going into the

average, .925 save percentage and two shutouts. “He’s been great. He’s been a soldier, a competitor,” Bucchino said. If the Cougars want to be known as one of the state’s better hockey programs, they must have a schedule that looks the part. They played defending Class A champion Hermantown in early December (losing 6-4) and before the end of the regular season have road games scheduled at Holy Family, Edina and Duluth East, all ranked in the top six in Class AA. That’s in addition to the South Suburban Conference where, the Cougars’ recent struggles notwithstanding, they’re in the race at 5-2. The holiday break gave the Cougars time to catch their breath and take inventory. “We worked on everything, all areas of the game,” Bucchino said. “Individual skill work, systems. We tried to do a lot of teaching, incorporate more video. We think we’re going in the right direction. “We still have a lot we need to work on, but we know our game plan and now it’s a matter of executing it.” The Cougars’ next game is home against Eastview at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 9.

Holiday roundup: Lightning goes by the book to beat Hopkins North boys 2nd in their hoops tourney by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s girls basketball players and coaches are reading a motivational book called “Chop Wood, Carry Water: How to Fall in Love with the Process of Becoming Great” and looking for ways to apply its lessons to their season. “We’re on Chapter Eight,” coach Molly Kasper said. The book apparently doesn’t have a chapter outlining how to beat Hopkins, but if it needs one, the Lightning now could write it. A 66-56 victory over the Royals on Friday at the St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic was the highlight of a week that saw the Lightning improve to 10-0. Eastview, ranked second in Class 4A last week, likely will jump over Hopkins to No. 1. Eastview and Wayzata entered 2018 as the only undefeated teams in Class 4A. Eastview also defeated Northfield 60-52 and Hastings 55-28 in the St. Olaf tourney. Although the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins drew the most attention, the three teams it defeated in the tournament are a combined 28-6, meaning the team had to play well all three days. As good as last week was for the Lightning, Kasper said the book is helping keep the players grounded, reminding them there’s still a lot to do. “We’re focusing on the fact we’re only 10 games in, and we could play as many as 32” if Eastview reaches the final day of the state tournament, Kasper said. “It’s crazy. It feels like we’re almost done. What it means is we have a lot more days to come to practice, be with each other, and try to get better.” Four players scored 12 points or more in the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins. Eastview also was able to cut down on turnovers in the second – after losing possession 13 times in the first half, the

(Right) Lakeville North’s Tyler Wahl dunks against Henry Sibley in the first round of the Panthers’ boys holiday basketball tournament. Lightning turned it over just five times in the second half – which Kasper identified as a priority if her team was going to beat the Royals, something no Lightning team had done since 2013. Hopkins defeated Eastview twice last year, in overtime in the St. Olaf tournament and later in the state Class 4A semifinals. “In those games, about 65 percent of Hopkins’ points came in transition or on second chances – in other words, because of our mistakes,” Kasper said. “Friday, we did a much better job of taking care of the ball and keeping them from getting so many offensive rebounds. I was really proud of the girls.” Senior forward Megan Walstad had 15 points and junior guard Emma Carpenter 14 for Eastview. Andrea Abrams had 13 points, including three three-point baskets, and Macy Guebert scored 12. Walstad also grabbed 12 rebounds. Hopkins guard Paige Bueckers, possibly the state’s best player even though she’s a sophomore, had a game-high 30 points. Walstad had 18 points,

Guebert 17 and Cassidy Carson 14 as the Lightning held off Northfield in the opening round of the St. Olaf tourney on Thursday. Eastview finished up on Saturday by holding Hastings to 11 second-half points in the final-round game. Walstad had 17 points and 13 rebounds in the Hastings game and finished with 50 points and 34 rebounds for the three games.

Girls basketball Farmington is 8-2 overall after winning one of three games at the St. Olaf holiday tourney. The Tigers lost 55-37 on Dec. 28 to Beaver Dam, the reigning Wisconsin Division 2 champion, and also fell to Grand Rapids before closing with a 56-36 victory over Providence Academy on Saturday. Sophie Hart and Ellie Clayton had 12 points each in the Providence Academy game. Molly Mogensen had 10 for the Tigers (8-2).

Banner year for RHS marching band Group performs in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount High School marching band completed 18 months of planning, fundraising, practicing and performance to reach the pinnacle with its participation in the 2017 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hearts back home in Rosemount swelled with pride upon seeing the 1-minute, 15-second performance in Herald Square on NBC-TV, shouts of encouragement and applause rang through the streets of Manhattan as they marched in front of 400-some family and friends along the parade route who traveled to New York City to support the band, but they weren’t the only ones captivated by the band. The throngs of people who watched the parade from packed sidewalks, apartment balconies or rooftops sang along with the band’s renditions of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town� and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.� “The coolest thing for me was seeing everyone singing the Christmas songs,� said senior drum major Colette Edgar. “These are people who

There they were able to decompress and celebrate the experience. “It was everything,� Hoover said of their reactions. “It was hugging, elation, shock and disbelief that it was over. The TV portion of it was so quick, one minute and 15 seconds. More than anything the kids were exhausted.� Hoover said upon arriving back at the hotel, the students got to get some sleep and relax prior to a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire band and their family and friends who made the trip. The dinner attendance was over 600. Edgar said it an awesome opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family and friends at the banquet, as it was something she said she would never forget. Hoover said the band members are treated like “rock stars� by their parents and the community as evidenced by the fundraising support it received and the sendoff event on Saturday, Nov. 18, at the Rosemount Community Center that was attended by scores of people. “They were very proud that they were given the opportunity to represent

The band finished eighth out of 68 teams after the preliminary round with a score that was good enough to advance it to the 14-team finals competition.

Year in Review

Construction, technology, election make headlines Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District rebrands, opens new school by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This year the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District underwent a rebranding campaign, updated its student information system, assigned iPads to high school students, built a new elementary school and elected a new school board member. “This was a year of growth and change in District 196,” said Superintendent Jane Berenz. Here’s a look back at some of the district’s highlights from the past year.

District rebrands In August, the district adopted a new logo which features three interlocking infinity signs that represent academics, arts and

athletics. “When Apple Valley high school opened in 1976, the leadership that established that school community really invested in the idea lessons learned in the arts and athletics were just as important as lessons learned in the classroom,” District 196 Communications Director Tony Taschner said. “It has always been providing opportunities in all of those areas because students have different interests.” Berenz said the logo was created to reflect the district’s dedication to all those areas. “[The logo] focuses on our longstanding commitment to the triple-A philosophy of providing students boundless opportunities and infinite

socialize. The building has been undergoing major renovation this year, and construction continues — in particular, the front of the building is being remodeled, and the roads leading up to and around the campus are being redone.

District 196 adopted a new logo and tagline this year. The three interlocking infinity symbols represent three different aspects of the district: the limitless possibilities for academics, arts and athletics, the three largest communities served (Rosemount, Apple Valley and Eagan) and the three levels of education (elementary, middle and high school).

Fourth-graders look at pond water samples under a microscope in the new Ology Lab at Oak Ridge Elementary. At this District 196 magnet school, students spend time studying the environment outdoors and indoors all year long. possibilities in academics, arts and athletics,” Berenz said. The logo also includes a new district motto: “One District. Infinite Possibilities.” Taschner said the motto intends to unify the large district — the fourth largest in the state — and attest to the countless opportunities it provides. The district’s website underwent a makeover, as did all of the websites belonging to individual schools in the district, to include the logo and reflect the “one district” sentiment while making them easier to navigate.

New technology In addition to updating the website, the district also updated its student information system, Synergy, in July. It also switched its alert system to SchoolMessenger — a program that seeks to provide better communication between parents and administrators. Converting to both new systems at the same time allowed for one cohesive data upload. It also incorporated several initiatives to enhance learning and communication. This is the second year of a threeyear implementation plan to provide a technological device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 received an iPad this year. Grades four, five and six will be added next fall to complete the implementation. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and nine. Students learn to use the devices as learning tools — providing them with operational knowledge while also teaching them to be good digital citizens.

Enrollment up

have been enrolling at increasing rates. In 2017, 2,258 nonresident students enrolled — nearly triple the 814 who enrolled in the 2007-08 school year a decade ago. Enrollment is up 1.6 percent, 462 students, from last year. With new housing developments within district boundaries, and more families choosing to open enroll in District 196 schools, the district predicts enrollment will continue to grow, Berenz said. Former State Demographer Hazel Reinhardt predicts that over the next 10 years enrollment could increase by as much as 15 percent as a result of new development, especially as the University of Minnesota sells portions of land from the UMore Park in Rosemount to developers.

Capacity grows The district’s physical capacity grew as well. A new elementary school, East Lake Elementary School, opened. The additions to the first two of the district’s five elementary magnet schools — Oak Ridge Elementary School of Leadership, Environment and Health Sciences and Echo Park Elementary School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology — came to completion this year. Additions to Deerwood and Woodland elementary schools also reached completion. They will provide the schools with secure entrances. Projects began at Valley Middle School of STEM, Apple Valley High School and Rosemount High School as well. Valley Middle 8th graders are currently attending school at Apple Valley High School to reduce the number of students in the building during construction. The projects will wrap up in 2018, prior to the start of the new school year. “These and other improvements from the 2015 referendum were made possible thanks to the generous support of our community,” Berenz said.

With 28,644 students, enrollment in District 196 schools rose to a record high this year. The number of students enrolling in Rosemount-Apple Graduation rates Valley-Eagan schools has increase been on the rise for five District 196 high consecutive years. Nonresident students schools saw an increase in

graduation rates. On average, 92 percent of students graduate. Of the students who do not graduate, 6 percent are continuing school and 2 percent had dropped out. Minnesota has an average high school graduation rate of 82 percent. The state’s goal is to achieve graduation rates of at least 90 percent overall and at least 85 percent for each subgroup of students by 2020. The district met the state goal for all students in general, as well as four of the eight subgroups, including: Asian/Pacific Islander, white, black and Hispanic students. It did not meet the state goal for American Indian/Alaskan Native students, students receiving English Learner or special education services and students receiving free or reduced-price school meals. According to a report by the school district, the gap between the graduation rate of white students and all other subgroups of students decreased in District 196 last year: by 7 percent for black students, by 14 percent for Hispanic students, by 9 percent for students receiving English Learner services, by 10 percent for students receiving special education services and by 8 percent for students receiving free or reduced-price school meals.

Fine-free library cards Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card — especially when it is fine-free. The district partnered with the Dakota County library to provide a fine-free library card to every high school student. The cards gave students full access to all the resources available in the Dakota County Library system.

Rosemount turns 100

Several District 196 teachers and staff were recognized this year for excellence in their field. Rosemount High School Information and Technology Integration Specialist Susan Semmler and Highland Elementary School 4th grade teacher Kim Scheuring were named 2017 Ties Exceptional Teachers for District 196. Cedar Park Elementary STEM School science specialist Kelli Ellickson received the Minnesota Science Teachers Association’s elementary Science Teaching Award for 2017, and Rosemount Middle School instrumental music teacher John Zschunke received the Minnesota Music Educators Association’s Music Educator of the Year Award. Eastview High School history and social studies teacher Todd Hering was inducted into the Minnesota State High School League’s Hall of Fame in the Class of 2017 for his work as a speech and debate coach. Apple Valley High School Mentor Program Teacher and Speech Coach Tzitel Voss was named Minnesota Educator of the Year by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). Several other teachers won awards or received recognition for their work this year.

New principals hired New leaders stepped up in the schools this year. Lauren Trainer was hired as principal at the School of Environmental Studies (SES), Eric Hansen was hired at Rosemount Middle School and Miles Haugen was hired at East Lake Elementary School.

School board election Eight candidates, including three incumbents, were competing for the three open seats in November’s District 196 School Board election. Incumbent Art Coulson received the most votes: 21 percent. Incumbent Mike Roseen came in second with 20 percent and challenger Craig Angrimson, with 16 percent, came in third. Incumbent Gary Huusko, receiving 11 percent of the vote, came in fourth and lost his seat. Since election day, Angrimson said he’s continued to attend School Board meetings and learn more about the workings of the board. He said the district budget has become his top priority, but he’s also passionate about negotiating contracts for teachers. “That’s the biggest asset in the district — the teachers,” he said. “We have excellent people throughout and I want to help take care of them.” Angrimson said he also wants to improve communication between the school board and teachers and community members. The newly elected board members will be sworn into office at the District 196 School Board meeting on Monday, Jan. 8. They’ll serve four-year terms, ending in 2022. “I’m excited, it’s going to be great. There’s so much I can offer the district,” Angrimson said. “I got into this because I know I can do it.”

Rosemount High School celebrated 100 years in September. The two-day centennial celebration included food, music and memorabilia. Attendees could watch varsity athletics, check out a classic car show or Contact Amy Mihelich at gather with their classes to amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley

Myrtle E. (Storlie) Kelly

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley, resident of Laguna Woods, CA, was passionate about family, liberal politics, reading, playing bridge, and quilting as exhibited by her beautiful patchwork life. She passed away quietly and peacefully from natural causes on December 23, 2017. She was 93 years young. The central focus of her piece work design were her three children who survive her: David Charles Bradley (Fort Collins, CO), Joy Bradley (San Juan Capistrano, CA) and Kip Bradley (Santa Barbara, CA). Nanny’s quilt pattern was further enhanced by her grandchildren: Colter Fleming, Nicoletta, Gabriella and Leyton Bradley. In 2012, she was saddened by the unexpected loss of her grandson, Brody Fleming. Bette’s vast network of friends formed the border of her life’s great quilt. She spent time enjoying many of her favorite hobbies and passions, and collected special memories from time spent quilting, at the Laguna Woods City Hall Library in search of the latest large print books, encouraging fellow members of an ostomy support group, learning about the latest and greatest technology via the Laguna Woods MAC Club, as well as keeping up to date and in touch with old neighbors from years living in Bloomington, MN. You are invited to join us to share Bette stories at her memorial on Saturday, January 6, 2017 at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 24231 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA. ,Q OLHX RI ÀRZHUV SOHDVH FRQVLGHU PDNLQJ D GRQDWLRQ to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. http://www. crohnscolitisfoundation.org/

Thisweekend Reflecting the world around them Minnesota photographer, painter to have works on display by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The new Rosemount Steeple Center Gallery exhibition will feature Apple Valley photographer Rusty Fifield and Red Wing watercolor artist Dan Wiemer from January through March. A free opening reception will be held at the Steeple Center on Wednesday, Jan. 17, from 6-8 p.m., with artist talks at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit and reception are being organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Fifield is a longtime financial analyst with companies such as Springsted, Ehlert and Associates and currently as managing director and municipal strategist at Northland Securities. He said he has been taking photographs for a long time, but only recently has dedicated more time to his craft. “Some of the impetus came from turning 60 and thinking about the next chapter in my life,” he said. Fifield was diagnosed Parkinson’s disease several years ago, but he says that so far, the changes in his life have not been significant. “It does add a few new wrinkles to ‘still’ photography,” he said of living with the condition of the

I relish heading out in the dark hoping to find a spectacular sunrise to share.” Many of the images in the show are those of Fifield’s favorite places; several of them are in Dakota County. “There are amazing images all around us,” he said. “We just have to slow down, look and take the picture.” Fifield wrapped up a daily-photo-for-a-year project on his SmugMug website this summer. Many of the images are of landscapes, downtown Minneapolis and his family.

bachelor of arts degree in graphic design, he has gathered some of his favorite works together for this show. “My work is a reflection and response of my love of the natural world,” he said. “I want my painting to reflect an energy and directness.” He said he considers himself a landscape artist with most of his work created in watermedia. “I see firsthand the endless variety of ways to handle watermedia, and this excites me,” he said. He is a past president of the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has taught classes and workshops for 20 years all over Minnesota. “I play with the shapes and textures of the landscape,” he said. “I try to find rhythms in the scene that translate into exciting motifs. I combine acrylic and watercolor in a unique way to stylize my land-

Canada and throughout the U.S. More of his work can be seen at danwiemer.com. The Steeple Center is located at 14375 S. Robert Trail. More about the Rosemount Area Arts Council is at rosemountarts.com.

“Like many others, I am trying to figure out what to do with my photography,” he said. “It lies somewhere between a hobby and a vocation. This project is part of the journey.” He said the challenge in photography is to capture an interesting image that people will want to see again. Fifield also tries to take the viewer to places or a perspective that they might not have seen otherwise. More is at rustyfifield. com. Wiemer is an awardwinning artist and illustrator who was trained as a graphic designer and has painted in watermedia most of his life. A graduate of Iowa State University with a Rusty Fifield has many landscape photos among his works.

Letters home create an online WWII journal by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dec. 7, 1941 — “another peaceful Sunday in the army,� wrote Pvt. Dorance Pershing Alquist. Biding his time at the Fort Bragg Army base in North Carolina, the 23-year-old draftee penned some words to his folks, Oscar and Edna Alquist of 39th Avenue South in Minneapolis, before adjourning to the evening movie, “I Wake Up Screaming,� with Betty Grable and Carol Landis. “No doubt I’ll be finishing this letter at the Service Club later tonite — I’ll tell you how many stars it rates at that time,� wrote Dorance, who went by the nickname Dip. Between mentions of his office job, a hitchhiking adventure to Raleigh and an “Xmas card from Dot & Arlo,� Dip addressed that day’s surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor and Manila. “You know I was sitting here reading in my civilian suit when they announced the orders from the War Dept. that all men in the U.S. army will be in uniform effective tomorrow. Everyone looked around at me as if to say ‘that means you soldier!’ � Dip’s letters and photos home from Fort Bragg, and later the South Pacific theater, sat in a box at his longtime Richfield home until after his death in 2015 at age 96.

WWII Army veteran Dorance “Dip� Alquist is pictured with his grandson, Christian, and his wife, Natalie. His grandson, Burnsville resident Christian Olsen, found the collection and was compelled to share with family, friends and the public. “It just seemed like something he would really enjoy,� said Olsen, 37, who helped Dip take care of his house in his later years. “He took a lot of time basically writing home every week and documenting everything, both with his camera and with his writing. It seemed almost like it was meant to be shared with the world. He was really dedicated to covering everything, almost like a reporter for his time in the war.� In August Olsen

launched a website, Air Mail From Dip (airm a i l f r o m d i p. com), on which he plans to publish the text of every corr e s p o n d e n c e, many accompanied by photos and the original hand-written letterhead. Olsen plans to post them Private Dorance “Dip� Alquist was chronologically, photographed writing a letter home in roughly the from the Fort Bragg Army base in same cadence North Carolina. with which Dip wrote home. High School graduate “It was remarkable who moved back here 10 how consistent he was — years ago and is raising at least once a week,� said two children with his wife, Olsen, a 1999 Burnsville Natalie.

“This noon we had our big meal & was it a dilly,� Dip wrote on Christmas Day 1941. “We had turkey & all the trimmings & four different kinds of pie. On each table were piles of fruit, nuts, candy & fruit cake, & each of us got a package of cigarettes, any brand he chose. They gave me your telegram just before I sat down to eat, so I naturally enjoyed the meal all the more then – thanks for that, too.� Olsen figures he has enough material to keep feeding the website into 2021. He hasn’t read it all yet. “I don’t want to spoil it too much, but I’ll tell you that he ends up going into the South Pacific and fighting against Japan in the Philippines,� said Olsen, an electrician. “He was part of the Tropic Lightning Division (the 25th Infantry Division). I know he saw war in the Philippines, and then they occupied Japan shortly after Japan surrendered.� Dip took officer training at Fort Bragg, earning the rank of lieutenant colonel and shipping out to the Pacific in 1943, Olsen said. Dip left active duty in 1946, served in the Army Reserve and retired from the Army in 1978. “He wasn’t one of those reserved guys who wouldn’t talk about their experience in the war,� Olsen said. “He was open about it. I think he grew up a lot in his service, and that’s really where he

kind of became himself, I think. He looked very fondly on it. He was kind of a scrawny kid and he ended up becoming an officer and learned leadership. I think it had a big effect on who he was in life.� After the war Dip earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. He married Marion Sneen, of Minneapolis, the girlfriend with whom he corresponded during the war. “He lived very happily and was a very relational person and very outgoing and was friends with pretty much everyone he met,� Olsen said. “His sphere of influence is quite large, and there’s a lot of people that are interested in his story.� Dip’s letters reflected his personality even after he went from Fort Bragg to a war zone, Olsen said. “It usually didn’t get too serious,� he said. “Soldiers, I think, adopt a somewhat darker sense of humor as they go. You can see that a little bit.� Air Mail From Dip includes podcasts of the letters — a family affair with Christian reading and his brother John playing period music on the piano. Their brother, Eric, does audio production. Olsen said his wife will read the Marion Sneen parts of her letters to Dip. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or 952-846-2031.

Domestic disturbance ends in suicide in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A domestic disturbance ended in suicide last weekend in Burnsville, according to police. Officers were dispatched shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 30, to a domestic disturbance with reports of rifle shots fired at a house in the area

of Hilltop Road and Circle Drive. Arriving officers learned that a woman who had been inside had gotten out safely, and a man with a rifle was still inside, said a Police Department news release. Police surrounded the house and advised neighbors to stay inside. Throughout the evening and into early Sun-

day, Dec. 31, officers were unable to make contact with the man. At approximately 3:15 a.m. officers entered the home and found him dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to initial reports, multiple rifle rounds were fired from inside the home — some of which appeared to have gone

through walls, penetrating a neighboring home. No one else was injured during the incident. Nearby homeowners who think their homes may have been damaged by the gunfire are asked to call Burnsville police investigator Chris Biagini 952-895-4585. Police aren’t releasing the suicide victim’s name

pending identification by the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office. In the sub-zero temperatures, police and firefighters were helped by homeowners who provided shelter and cooperation, police said. Other agencies on the scene were the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, the Dakota County Multi-

Agency Assistance Group, the Minnesota State Patrol, the Scott and Carver County sheriff’s offices and Eagan and Bloomington police. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.
