Farmington planning Woman on cellphone pleads guilty in traffic for future of Highway 3 fatality, injuries in Randolph Township Seeks input from residents

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each day, thousands of motorists drive through Farmington via Highway 3.

Existing traffic counts from the Minnesota Department of Transportation show that Highway 3 sees about 5,300 vehicles daily on the south end of Farmington and about 12,700 vehicles on the north end.

With so many people traveling on Highway 3, the city felt it was time to take a closer look at the Highway 3 corridor.

On Oct. 1, the city entered into a $39,995 professional services agreement with WSB & Associates, a Minneapolis-based design and consulting firm, to develop a Highway 3 corridor plan.

In a way, the plan is an extension of the city’s 2016 downtown redevelopment plan, according to Community Development Director Adam Kienberger.

One of the recommendations within the downtown plan was to look at the corridors that feed into downtown, and the Highway 3 plan is a “logical extension of that,” he said.

The plan The plan will focus on the corridor extending from Highway 66 to Farmington’s southern

border, with a one-block buffer on either end.

“That corridor is most highly visible for people that live outside of the community that go through Farmington on a daily basis,” Kienberger said.

The goal of the plan is to take a holistic look at that section of the community: what works and what doesn’t work.

The city encourages feedback, and offers a variety of ways people can share their thoughts.

One is an online Social Pinpoint tool. Residents can comment on what they see as potential opportunities, current issues or assets along the corridor.

As of press time, the tool had garnered over 115 comments from residents.

Many were concerned about road safety, citing reckless drivers. Others suggested more restaurants or increased signage for downtown businesses to encourage motorists to stop.

Another way residents can get involved is by attending an open house.

One open house was held Wednesday, Nov. 28, after this edition went to press. If people missed that open house, the city will present a draft plan during an early 2019 open house.

Hoefs drove vehicle through stop sign before crash

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 57-year-old Oronoco woman pleaded guilty on Monday to two counts of gross misdemeanor reckless driving and two counts of misdemeanor careless driving in connection with an Oct. 22, 2016, fatal crash that killed Brenda Travis, 78, of Rochester, and caused serious injuries to three others in Randolph Township.

Lori Janine Hoefs was originally charged on June 21, 2018, with two felonies and two gross misdemeanors of criminal vehicular operation. All the charges included the additional description of “gross negligence.”

Sentencing guidelines for those charges ranged from no jail time up to 15 years and $10,800 to $36,000 in fines.

Judge Jerome Abrams ordered a pre-sentence investigation Monday and scheduled the sentencing for Feb. 7 in Hastings.

It is not known what the sentencing guidelines are for the amended charges.

Hoefs told investigators that she was unfamiliar with the area and holding her cellphone in speaker mode while talking to a friend when she drove through a stop sign on County Road 88 prior to the crash at about 10:20

a.m., according to the criminal complaint.

Prior to County Road 88’s westbound junction with Highway 56, a sign indicates there is a stop sign ahead along with pavement markings that read “stop ahead,” according to the criminal complaint. It was reported that Hoefs did not stop, brake or make any evasive maneuvers with her vehicle prior to the crash.

Hoefs was traveling westbound on County Road 88 when she reached Highway 56 and her 2014 GMC Terrain broadsided a 2012 Toyota Camry that was northbound on Highway 56 and did not have a stop sign. The Camry was pushed into the southbound lane where it made contact with a 2010 Ford Edge that was traveling southbound on Highway 56, according to the State Patrol report.

Brenda K. Travis, a passenger in the Camry, was killed in the crash,

while the driver, her brother, Glen W. Travis, 81, of Dodge Center sustained broken ribs and a broken pelvis, according to the State Patrol and Dakota County Attorney’s Office.

Erica A. Myking, 36, of Burnsville, the driver of the Edge, suffered an ankle injury, while her passenger, Renee C. Piersas, 36, of Bloomington, sustained a gash to her head, according to the State Patrol and the criminal complaint.

The drivers and passengers were all wearing seat belts and the airbags in the vehicles deployed on impact.

Road conditions were dry at the intersection, which is east of Randolph and northwest of Lake Byllesby in southwest Dakota County.

In a press release, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom expressed his sympathy to the family of Brenda Travis and wishes for the ongoing recovery

of the other individuals injured in this crash.

According to an April 2017 “Wired” magazine report, Zendrive, a driving analytics company, found drivers are using their phones on 88 percent of their journeys. The average driver spends 3.5 minutes on the phone per one hour trip, according to the analysis using sensor data from more than 3 million drivers and 5.6 billion miles of trips. Wired reports that a two-second distraction increases the risk of crashing by 20 percent.

Each year in Minnesota, distracted or inattentive driving is a factor in one in four crashes, resulting in at least 70 deaths and 350 serious injuries, according to the Office of Traffic Safety. OTS estimates these numbers are vastly underreported due to law enforcement’s challenge in determining distraction as a crash factor.

Opinion You can be the superhero to someone in need

by Keith Anderson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This month two men who changed the world for millions died within one sunset of each other: Stan Lee, the superhero creator, and Minnesota’s Richard Proudfit, the champion of malnourished children.

One was well known because so much of his talent and imagination showed up in television cartoons and comic books from the 20th century, and even more so on the 21st century big screen.

Lee was “the” hallmark when it came to co-creating lasting and memorable superheroes: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange. He helped elevate Marvel Comics to legendary status and created a powerful production force in Hollywood.

His greatest skill may have been his ability to transport his audience to a place where good always defeats evil. His characters, although usually equipped with at least two or three memorable superpowers, also had flaws, which allowed those of us who have been entertained by his movies to identify more closely with them.

Lee created an escape from reality,

Staff Columnist Keith Anderson but also delivered a consistent message in his movies that carried over to society: always fight for what is right and help those who need it most.

Closer to home, Minnesota and the world experienced a tremendous loss when Proudfit died on Nov. 14. He was the founder of Feed My Starving Children and Kids Against Hunger.

Proudfit was spurred to action in 1982 after a mission trip to Honduras.

After visiting the people of that area and seeing the poverty and lack of food, he embarked on a journey that led to the creation of the two organizations that today pack nutritious meals that are sent worldwide mostly to starving children. Feed My Starving Children alone has packaged and sent more than 2 billion meals to starving families and children.

Millions of volunteers worldwide have been touched by Proudfit’s vision because so many have worked meal-pack-

ing shifts at numerous locations, three of them right here in the Twin Cities. Volunteers learn how to precisely add the right amount of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, vitamins and minerals to each of the packages that get delivered. Proudfit settled on this careful mix after challenging local scientists at Cargill, General Mills and other locations to find a way to economically pack the most nutrition into a meal for malnourished children.

From a production standpoint, volunteers are a necessary component for an operation of this size and scale to be a success. But perhaps equally important is the critical role Minnesota volunteers have played by contributing their time and energy at FMSC packing sites in the war on world hunger.

It’s really difficult to care about hunger in a meaningful way if you don’t get involved and do something about it. Proudfit gave us the means to act on our concern and a place to carry out that help.

Certainly, there is no lack of malnutrition in many areas of the globe. According to The Hunger Project, one in 10 people in the world, or 767 million people, live on less than $1.90 per day.

And 328 million children are living in extreme poverty. Nearly half of all deaths

in children under age 5 are a result of under-nutrition. That is about 3 million children per year.

Those numbers would surely be higher without the contributions volunteers have made through their work at Feed My Starving Children and Kids Against Hunger. They have helped save lives.

During this joyful time of year, as we gather with friends and family and consider what we have been given, it’s a sobering reminder to think of all the starving children who are not so fortunate and whose hourly suffering of hunger will ultimately end with a final whimper of death.

Both Lee and Proudfit were about hope and goodness and the human desire to help those who need it most.

In the Spider-Man series, Peter Parker was told by his uncle that with great power comes great responsibility. A similar message could apply to each of us.

We have all been given a gift by being born into a nation with an abundance of wealth. How we choose to exercise our responsibility in life may well affect a starving child somewhere else.

Letters Penny-per-pill concept has flaws To the editor: Minnesota’s newly elected governor and former congressman, Tim Walz, recently said that he’d support a surcharge on prescription opioids.

While I understand his intention is to address opioid addiction, the “penny-perpill” concept is rife with unintended consequences

and misfires at the root causes of the epidemic.

Just like the series of bills considered last legislative session, any tax on legal opioids distributed into the state could disrupt the health care supply chain and fail to effectively counter drug addiction.

These sorts of provisions supposedly take aim at the big drug companies that many say caused the epidemic. But at the end of

the day, the “penny-perpill” tax wouldn’t be paid by drug manufacturers.

Due to the structure of the health care supply chain, wholesale distributors would foot the majority of the bill. These companies do not manufacture opioid medications, they do not prescribe them, and they do not market them.

Their primary role is to distribute all medical products from manufacturing

facilities to the trusted and licensed health care providers who ultimately determine the products that are shipped. Distributors are responsible for meeting all supply needs of providers through secure and effective delivery. Penalizing them for completing their shipments would only deny physicians and

pharmacists legitimate orders and prescriptions.

Now I find myself asking: How does this tax address the opioid epidemic and how will it end the sale and consumption of illegal drugs? It simply won’t.

Opinion A dog’s love is helping middle school students

by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The National Association of Secondary School Principals is advising its members that a recent U.S. Surgeon General’s report has found that 1 in 5 adolescents will face a significant mental health condition during their school years.

In this changing society, more students are coming to school with anxieties resulting, in part, from changes in their family dynamic such as a divorce, job loss or death of a parent.

As a result, middle and senior high school principals are looking for ways to calm students and help them feel good about themselves while in school. One way 12 schools in Minnesota are helping students with anxieties is to have a trained therapy dog on site.

Dave Adney, executive director of the Minnesota Secondary Principals Association, says the emerging research on

Staff Columnist Don Heinzman having a dog at school is on the positive side, but more research is needed.

Brian Ingemann, principal at Oak Grove Middle School in Bloomington, has a trained therapy dog named Radar in school all day. Radar provides comfort to students who need special attention.

Ingemann said he and his staff are equally concerned with the whole child: emotional, social and academic.

Radar’s most important role occurs during one-on-one sessions when he strolls into a room and seeks affection while providing comfort to the student, who returns that love. Most of the time after a 10-minute session with Radar

and a social worker, the relieved student goes back to the classroom. Ingemann estimates Radar calms 30 students during special sessions each week.

Radar is a favorite with the students as he greets them when they board the bus and is there for them in the hall when they change classes.

One student who loves Radar, but hasn’t needed his therapy, is eighth-grader Sophia Azni.

“He is so sweet and caring,” said Sophia. “When life gets crazy, he helps stabilize the students.”

Ingemann says the dog doesn’t jump or bark at students.

“He loves to be approached from the front where he craves your affection,” he said.

Radar has been specially trained by Sundance Kennels at St. Croix Falls where he was raised from a pup. After his specialty training he spent another six months at the women’s prison in Shakopee becoming a certified therapy dog.

When the idea of having a dog at school came up last year at a staff meeting, Ingemann offered to handle the dog. Radar has a special carpet to rest on right next to the principal’s desk.

At night he takes the dog to his house where he plays with Ingemann’s three children and their dog.

“The two dogs are buddies,” he said.

Adney has visited 100 schools over the last few months and has found that school leaders are looking for new ways to calm and encourage their students.

One school even awards varsity high school letters to students who serve the community as volunteers and otherwise would not get an athletic letter.

Radar deserves a varsity letter from Oak Grove Middle School, appropriately named the “home of the Huskies.”

Business Buzz Co-authors of ‘When Republicans were Progressive’ to speak in Eagan The Dakota Regional Chamber of Commerce will host another in its Public Affairs Breakfast Series on Dec. 7, with the co-authors of “When Republicans were Progressive.”

Former U.S. Sen. Dave Durenberger and longtime Star Tribune political reporter and award-winning author Lori Sturdevant will talk about their book that recounts how the Republican Party dominated Minnesota’s politics for much of the state’s history.

The authors say today’s party is very different from the progressive Republican Party that came to power with Dakota County resident Harold Stassen as governor in 1938, when it had its heyday in the middle of the 20th century and faded into near obscurity by the 1990s. From the ideas and ideals of that dynamic political movement, they say sprang modern Minnesota’s success story.

Sturdevant was the editor of two books from former Republican Gov. Elmer L. Andersen – “A Man’s Reach” and “I Trust to be Believed.” Andersen, who died in 2004, was the former president of ECM Publishers, which owned and operated Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune newspapers.

The Minnesota Health and Human Service Building is

named after Andersen, along with libraries at the University of Minnesota and the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

“When Republicans were Progressive” will be available for purchase.

Registration for the event will be 7:30-8 a.m. at the Lost Spur Golf and Event Center, 2750 Sibley Memorial Highway, Eagan.

The breakfast buffet will start at 8 a.m. with the program to follow.

Cost is $25 for chamber members, $40 for non-members.

DCTC, Inver Hills drive $334.6 million in economic activity Dakota County Technical College and Inver Hills Community College generate $334.6 million in economic impact per year, according to an economic contribution analysis commissioned by Min-

“DCTC and Inver Hills play an essential role in growing the region’s economy. The colleges offer a powerful range of educational opportunities that contribute to Dakota County and the south metro’s success,” said Michael Berndt, interim president.

The study, which included the 30 colleges and seven universities of the Minnesota State system, was conducted by Parker Philips, a nationally recognized consulting firm specializing in economic impact analysis.

Nichole Parker, a principal partner at Parker Philips, said, “Economic contribution analysis is an objective way to measure the significance of an organization in the state and regional economy. It is a tool that policymakers can use to inform their decisions. The colleges and universities of Minnesota State clearly make a major contribution to their local, state, and regional economies.”

Other notable findings on DCTC and Inver Hills: • $19.7 million in state and local revenue.

• $1.3 million in community contributions annually.

• More than 1,500

graduates annually.

Heritage Library and License Center to expand Temporary space opens at Lakeville City Hall

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Heritage Library and license center opened a temporary location while it is under construction.

Lakeville City Hall is currently the interim location of the library and license center. Construction on the library began Monday, Nov. 5, and Nov. 10 at the license center.

According to Dakota County Library Director Margaret Stone, Dakota County looks at each of its facilities on a rotating schedule and when it was time to look at the Heritage Library, needed improvements were noticed.

“We hired an architecture firm and they took a look a the community and how it’s growing – especially in Lakeville. Then they looked at the need within the library,” Stone said.

An online survey was posted by Dakota County in the spring of 2017 to gain further insight on the public’s feelings regarding the library in its current

The survey found that the public was looking for more comfortable seating, an overall larger space and better acoustic separation between quiet and noisy areas. It also found that 73 percent of respondents visited the library at least once a month, 22 percent visited weekly and 84 percent of visitors go to the library because it is near their home.

The building was built in 2000 and since then, no

renovations or improvements have been made.

Stone added that since the community is continuing to grow and the building had not been upgraded, additions are needed.

According to the needs assessment, larger public meeting rooms and spaces, a bigger children’s area, more acoustic separation, an automated materialshandling system and a larger license center are all aspects of the library and license center that need to be improved. The coun-

ty agreed to make those changes.

“The interior will look quite different than it does now,” Stone said.

The current meeting and community room will be expanded from 1,000 square feet to approximately 1,500 square feet, which will allow for about 40 more seats during author events or other community attractions.

“This should really help when the library has an author in, a children program or a community

The library will also include more individual and group work spaces out on the floor as well as a creative work area where makers can come to use the 3D printer, convert work to digital files and work on projects.

“The makers’ space is included in some other libraries … We will also hold classes there that are messier like an art class because there won’t be a carpeted floor,” Stone said.

The license center will also be expanding. According to Stone, the license center is often at capacity and more space is needed in order to properly assist customers. The center will be expanding by 75 percent.

The total budget for improvements to the library and the license center approved is $5,080,000.

group meeting,” Stone said.

The children’s area will be expanded. It will become a place where children are allowed to explore, play and be noisy.

Library staff acknowledge they know many people go to the library for a quiet place to work, which is why they are adding a glassed in space called the quiet zone. The space will be designated as a noisefree spot where individuals or groups can choose Kayla Culver can be reached at kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com. to work.

‘There’s no one like us in town’ The Dog House Minnesota in Farmington offers doggy daycare, boarding and grooming

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There’s a reason dogs are known as man’s best friend. From tiny lap dogs to giant Great Danes, most dogs are loyal companions.

But they also require a lot of care: exercise, grooming and attention, just to name a few.

It can be a challenge for pet owners to find time for their four-legged friends while juggling work and family obligations.

That’s where the Dog House Minnesota comes in.

The new pet care specialty shop, which opened Nov. 20 in Farmington, offers daycare, boarding, grooming and self-wash services.

“We take the hard part of owning a pet away.

We do all the dirty work.

When you get home, all you’ve got to do is cuddle with your pet,” said the Dog House Minnesota co-owner Niels Schapochnicof.

Schapochnicof, of Apple Valley, and co-owner

Nicole Johnson, of Circle Pines, got the idea to open a doggy daycare about three years ago.

Schapochnicof, who owns a Bernese mountain dog named Ella, was having trouble finding a place that could take care of all his dog’s needs: grooming, daycare and so on.

He called his friend Johnson in the middle of the night, “Telling me that he had this brilliant idea of having a doggy daycare at midnight,” Johnson recalled with a laugh.

It seemed like a natural business venture for the two dog lovers. Like Schapochnicof, Johnson also owns a Bernese mountain dog named Bebe and has a Boston terrier named Ramona.

She has also blogged for Dog TV and has a blog about her own dogs, www. monabebe.com.

In addition to being dog owners, both co-owners have business experience. Schapochnicof has his own home business and Johnson owns Seoul Salon in Roseville.

Road to opening Before opening, Schapochnicof and Johnson worked with the city to amend its commercial kennel ordinance.

Once they received approval for a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission in May, they began the work of renovating the space in the Farmington Mall.

Though they originally looked at a space in St. Paul, Farmington seemed like it had a need for a business like the Dog House, Johnson said.

Schapochnicof added that Farmington is issuing more building permits and is projected to grow even more in the future.

“Farmington was pretty much uncharted territory for this type of business and because of the pace that the city’s been growing, … it was time for something like this in town,” Schapochnicof said.

The Dog House is fully staffed with about a dozen workers, and plans to expand the services it offers.

As they adjust to op-

erating the new business, Johnson and Schapochnicof said they will offer training in the future.

They may also offer dog walking and pickup and drop-off to and from the Dog House.

First, they want to focus on their four main services, then add other services as needed.

Services The Dog House can board up to 17 dogs. Its daycare capacity is around 40 dogs, depending on the size of the dogs.

It also accepts walk-ins for daycare.

Dogs are welcome as long as they’re spayed or neutered and owners provide proof of vaccinations.

Pets must also pass an evaluation session proving that they get along with other dogs.

There can be a misconception about the time and commitment involved with doggy daycare, Johnson said.

People can choose to drop their pets off for as little as an hour, up to a full day or anywhere in be-

tween.

“Daycare doesn’t have to break the bank,” Johnson said.

The Dog House’s prices range from $5 for an hour of daycare to $23 for a full day. The daycare is open from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. for members and from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for nonmembers.

Daycare can take the guilt out of leaving pets home all day, Johnson said.

It can also provide pets with extra stimulation or exercise during cold winter days, and helps pets socialize with other people and animals.

As for other services, people can choose to have their dogs groomed or wash their pets themselves.

The self-wash can be a useful service for people who don’t have a tub, or whose dogs resist bath time at home, the owners said.

Owners also don’t have to worry about cleaning up the mess afterward, they said. Shampoo, towels, brushes, professional dryers and a high tub are

all available at the selfwash station.

“It’s like having your kid’s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. You pay a fee, you have the whole mess done there and you just go home. That’s the idea behind that,” Schapochnicof said.

Self-wash prices range from $15-25 depending on the size of the dog.

Though the Dog House hasn’t been open long, Johnson said “The phone has been ringing off the hook,” and both owners are excited to pamper the pooches of Farmington.

“We’re in Farmington to stay,” Schapochnicof said.

The Dog House is located at 923 Eighth St., Suite 915. Hours are 6:30 a.m.7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

Buck Hill seeks more concerts Commission recommends approval; concerns linger

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Buck Hill on Monday won the endorsement of the Burnsville Planning Commission to expand its outdoor concert season and make it permanent, The commission voted to recommend approval of Buck Hill’s plan to increase the number of concerts allowed annually from six to 10. The recommendation, which goes to the City Council on Dec. 4 (XXXXXX), also allows music to continue until 10 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday concerts.

The cutoff time would remain 9:30 p.m. the rest of the week.

Seeking to boost summer revenue, the skiing, snowboarding and tubing venue staged its inaugural concert series July 10-13. In 2017 the council granted a planned unit development amendment and interim-use permit allowing up to six concerts a year, with music ending at 9:30 p.m.

Now Buck Hill is seeking a permanent PUD amendment to increase the number of concerts and allow music until 10:30 p.m. The commission re-

jected the later time but was more generous than the planning staff, which also recommends allowing more concerts but with the same 9:30 p.m. ending time.

Declaring the inaugural concert series a success — top attendance was 2,400 for a July 13 concert by the Little River Band — Buck Hill Inc. President and CEO David Solner said he’s looking to steer more shows to weekend dates as opposed to this year’s Tuesday to Friday series.

Shows would also be clustered across the warmweather season, two or three nights in a row, Solner said.

“We feel that a 10:30 shutoff time is appropriate,” Solner told commissioners. Many of this summer’s concertgoers wondered why the music had to stop at 9:30, according to Solner. He says the later time will give fans more time to arrive after work and shield both fans and bands from late-afternoon heat. The stage faces west from the base of the hill, which provides a natural amphitheater.

Concerned residents surrounding the venue at 15400 Buck Hill Road and

supporters spoke during a public hearing Monday.

Linda Stout, 15000 Windemere Lane, said her “peace and quiet was shattered by this noise” from the concerts. “I can’t call it music when it’s so far away and you can’t understand the lyrics, can’t hear the tune, but you can hear the rhythm and the bass. I’m a music major, and this is not music. This doesn’t belong in neighborhoods.

This is not something that should be plunked in the middle of thousands of people that are affected by the sounds, the noises.”

The concerts generated 14 complaints to the city about noise and bass vibration, according to a staff report.

Jen Napp, 1105 Circle High Drive, said the noise was excessive and the concerts ran past 9:30 p.m.

“I support them having a venue during the summer,” she said. “But I think to reward them for breaking their promise from last year is not the way to go.”

Solner said he appreciates the neighbors’ concerns and acknowledged that concerts ran late (one was rained out and downsized inside Buck Hill’s bar and restaurant). The lat-

est ending time was 10:12 p.m., on the first night of the series, Solner said.

“We did go a few minutes over in the nights we ran our events,” he said.

Kenneth Bipes, 15409 Bryant Ave. S., said his house of 40 years backs up to the hill and is 150 feet from the ski lift. Noise from the venue — including from snowmaking, about which some residents have complained — has never bothered him, Bipes said.

“We have to let Buck Hill make a buck or two,” he said, noting that its fortunes swing with the weather.

Charlie Miller, 15401 Bryant Ave. S., said his family heard the concert sound and “it didn’t bother us one bit.” There was no extra foot traffic in the neighborhood from people trying to reach the venue, he added.

Buck Hill is “a major economic draw for our community,” said Tom Taylor, chair of the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce Public Policy Committee.

Also chair of the Burnsville Fire Muster, Taylor

said the festival’s concerts end at 11 p.m. with “significantly larger” crowds than Buck Hill’s have drawn, “and we have very, very few complaints.”

Buck Hill appears to have managed both noise and traffic “extremely well,” Taylor said.

In seeking a 10:30 p.m. shutoff time, Solner points to the Fire Muster and other south metro music events, from the Minnesota Zoo concerts in Apple Valley to Lakeville’s Pano-Prog, which run later than 9:30 p.m.

But those venues are on sites with more surrounding space for the noise to dissipate before reaching neighbors, countered commission Chair Steve Behnke.

The city is responsible for enforcing Minnesota Pollution Control Agency noise standards, according to the staff report. Noise measured in residential areas is limited to 60 to 65 decibels from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from 50 to 55 from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

“The city’s noise consultant advises that MPCA standards are average over a one-hour period and it is

acceptable to have peaks and valleys related to the decibel levels,” the report said.

Staff recommends the city’s consultant measure noise during each concert, with mitigation measures established to keep it within MPCA standards (which are also set in city code). Staff recommends Buck Hill provide an escrow to cover the cost.

The commission included a testing requirement but allowed Buck Hill’s sound engineer to do it and report to the city.

The commission recommendation also includes shutoff of concert-related lighting at the same time the music stops. “That’s to shut off lights and music — hard stop, everybody’s done,” Commissioner Bud Roberts said.

The staff recommendation had allowed lighting to remain on an extra half hour.

Behnke abstained from the vote.

The stories behind the names Parishioner Military Wall of Honor aims to get conversations started

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

St. Joseph Catholic Church parishioner Frank O’Connor says U.S. military veterans often don’t brag about what they did while in the service.

It’s common for veterans keep the stories of their time in the armed forces to themselves or to a tight-knit group of other veterans.

But it’s been widely believed that telling these stories is important for that service to be honored, but also learned from and develop new connections with family members and younger generations.

That was the idea when organizers of the Parishioner Military Wall of Honor at the church in Rosemount set out to create a lasting tribute to the sacrifices past and present parishioners have made while serving in the U.S. military.

“There are many members of the parish who have served, many of them in dangerous times,” Wall of Honor committee member O’Connor said.

He says the wall is a good teaching moment for younger generations. It allows people to talk about what happened in times of previous wars when young

Committee members for the Parishioner Military Wall of Honor at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount assembled the tribute this year, and it was dedicated on Veterans Day. men were either drafted or volunteered after they graduated from high school.

“I think they are proud that they are being recognized,” O’Connor said.

“I see many people on Sundays taking a picture there.”

O’Connor said the project has started many conversations among veterans and their family members.

“People are looking at the different names of people, and they ask: ‘Are you on there? When did you serve?’ ” O’Connor said the Wall of Honor is special be-

cause it carries the names of people like Harold Koepner, who was a belly gunner on a B-24 bomber that was shot down during World War II. Fortunately for the crew, the plane was able to land in Allied territory, and the soldiers were able to rejoin their units.

It’s stories like these that O’Connor says he would like to document and put them in a book and a digital format that could be looked up using a computer kiosk next to the Wall of Honor.

When the group started the project this spring,

they didn’t know what the Wall of Honor would look like. What they did know is that they wanted it completed by Veterans Day 2018.

“We finished it a week before Veterans Day,” O’Connor said.

The Wall of Honor had its dedication and blessing by the Rev. Paul Kammen on Veterans Day, Sunday, Nov. 11.

After the initial idea was forwarded, a core group of volunteers started researching what other such tributes looked liked in area American Legions, VFWs and churches.

O’Connor said the final design aimed to be something that was dignified and kept work needed to maintain it to a minimum.

It was decided that the honored veterans would each receive a name plate that included their years of service and their branch of the military.

Committee volunteers were recruited through church bulletins, and they started working a table before and after church services in an effort to raise money and distribute applications that veterans and their families could fill out to have a veteran recognized on the Wall of Honor.

Once they settled on a design, committee members Tom Neumann built the case and Jack Gillespie organized the process to have the nameplates engraved and installed.

Early in the process, committee member Joe Armitage made a request of Arlington National Cemetery to have a flag that was flown at the cemetery in Virginia sent to the church for use in the Wall of Honor.

The flag that appears with the case was flown at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Aug. 8, 2018.

“It was the committee effort that made it success-

ful,” O’Connor said.

The wall currently includes the names of 170 past and current parishioners who served in the military.

O’Connor says that he expects many more names to be added now that the case has been put on display.

It has the capacity to include 600 names, which O’Connor says should be able to accommodate new requests for many years to come.

The Wall of Honor includes the names of three Civil War soldiers who were buried at the precursor of the St. Joseph Cemetery at Highland Cemetery.

Other conflicts that are represented on the wall are World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, along with more recent military conflicts in the Middle East.

“Everyone seems to be happy with the design,” O’Connor said. “I think people are impressed with the numbers.”

Those who are interested in recognizing a veteran on the wall should contact the Parish Office at 651423-4402.

‘It can actually change lives’ Middle school students designing 3D-printed prosthetic

by Patty Dexter SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

About 60 eighth-grade students at Valley Middle School are getting the chance to design a prosthetic for a 9-year-old girl in their STEM innovations class.

It all started with a social media post, according to technology teacher Brian Martin.

Over the summer his cousin put a post on Facebook about the nonprofit Million Waves Project, an organization that takes recycled plastic cleaned from oceans and uses it to create 3D-printed prosthetics. His cousin had attended college with the organization’s founders.

“My thought process was just, ‘Oh, it would be great for them to talk to my kids about what they do, looking at taking 3D

Martin said Million Waves Project was interested in connecting with the school after he contactPhoto by Patty Dexter ed the orgives instructions to eighth-graders in his ganization.

D u r i n g their condents have been learning how to use design soft- versations, the nonprofit ware and 3D printers to asked him if his students create works of art, small knew how to do any 3D

Million Waves Project doesn’t do design work, but prints already completed designs submitted on free-sharing websites.

“They had a client who wanted a swim prosthetic, but they couldn’t find one. So they asked if our kids would be able to design one,” he said. “They showed me some sketches of what they had in mind and it seemed doable.”

Martin shared the project with his students during the first week of school.

“They’ve been problem-solving what the actual fin prosthetic should look like. The hardest part has been the attachment piece – how does that attach comfortably for someone to wear,” he said. The prosthetic is being designed to fit over See 3D, 13A

Students started the project by getting into teams of four and following the school’s design process. This involves taking the challenge, coming up with a rough 2D sketch on paper, translating that into a 3D design on the computer and printing prototypes of it.

Martin said he took a 3D scan of his 9-year-old daughter’s arm and printed a mold of it to give his students an approximate

size to work with as they tweak their designs and prototypes.

Eighth-grader Apollo Oase said he has enjoyed working on the project because he likes being creative. His group’s initial prosthetic design resembles a scoop with slots in it.

He said the project has been longer than ones he’s done before.

“You have to think about much more than the end product,” he said.

Eighth-grader Amy Tong said her group’s

design is “more like a simple fin” with holes on the top to make sure the water force isn’t too great.

During the week of the Thanksgiving holiday, they were working on how they could attach the base of the arm to the prosthetic.

“I think it’s kind of cool we’re able to do this in school. I know some other schools don’t even have 3D printing stuff,” she said. “This project is really different because we haven’t done things for the real world as much.”

They have had to rethink things several times and ask hard questions during the project, Tong said.

“Usually whenever we do these kinds of projects, we’re not able to redesign everything. So this is actually just doing the whole design process,” she said.

Million Waves has been flexible with the work and has provided feedback on the students’ first iterations of their designs.

Martin said he hopes to wrap up the project before the end of the calendar year.

“I think they’re really, really close to us actually having many working designs. What’s amazing is they all look different,” he said. “The kids came up with their own ideas and every single one would work to some aspect.

Once we have a workable design, we’re actually hoping to bring it to a pool area to test it.”

Martin said the project has been a great opportunity for students to learn skills like persevering through challenges and working with the 3Dprinted materials.

“When this opportunity came up, it was a nobrainer,” he said.

David Rougier abused that trust, and we are satisfied that today’s sentence ensures that he will not only pay for his crimes, but will not be able to harm again,� FBI Special Agent in Charge Jill Sanborn said in the release.

Investigators found the money Rougier collected from the fees was spent on

various items and travel, including $407,000 in cash withdrawals, $41,000 on strip clubs, almost $100,000 on travel shopping, restaurants and other entertainment as well as tens of thousands on living expenses.

Rougier originally pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 12 in Anoka County Court, where he served time for felony theft by swindle.

He also pleaded guilty to swindling a 75-year-old Coon Rapids man out of more than $70,000 on March 5. The money was also spent on strip clubs, luxury hotels and personal expenses instead of investing the money, which he promised the victim.

Restaurant serving poke bowls opens

by Patty Dexter SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A fast-casual restaurant with a menu featuring poke bowls has opened in Apple Valley.

Hawaii Poke Bowl softopened on Tuesday and held its grand opening Wednesday at 7594 150th St. W in Apple Valley (in the same strip mall as Petco, Core Power Yoga and Sally Beauty Supply).

David Ou, the restaurant’s general manager, opened the business with four other business partners. They operate three Japanese restaurants in Wisconsin and have plans to open another Hawaii

Poke Bowl location in Eagan in December, he said.

Ou said poke – pronounced “po-kay” – is a traditional Hawaiian dish that usually includes diced and cubed fish seasoned with sea salt and topped with seaweed or other vegetables.

He and his partners discovered poke after visits to California.

“When we tried poke, we were really inspired by the concept. That’s why we worked hard to bring it to Minnesota,” he said, adding that many of the area restaurants serve food that’s fried or grilled. “We really wanted to bring a healthier option.”

Ou described the poke bowls served by the restaurant as “contemporary poke.”

“We take the concept and we add Japanese-style sushi and sushi ingredients,” he said. “If you’re a sushi fan, our contemporary poke is very similar.”

The menu takes a simple approach by offering customers the choice to build their own bowl or choose to go with “signature” bowls with predetermined ingredients.

Customers have the option to choose from white rice, organic brown rice, mixed greens or quinoa for the bowl’s base. Raw or cooked protein ingredients Photo by Patty Dexter

The 17-year-old identical twins, Carlie and Chloe Beatty, continue to fill their days with their passion for gymnastics and dog sledding.

Sports When spotlight was brightest, Panthers didn’t wilt North outlasts Eden Prairie for Lakeville’s first football title in 15 years

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It was March 15, 2014.

Lakeville North completed an improbable comeback against Hopkins in the Class 4A boys basketball championship game after being down four points with 33 seconds remaining.

Sitting in the stands as he watched the Panthers basketball players celebrate, North football coach Brian Vossen wondered if there would ever be a time when his players experienced something similar.

The football team’s time came last Friday when it defeated Eden Prairie 28-21 in the Class 6A championship game at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Vossen and several North players said they believed all season that a special ending was possible, but once it happened the feeling was overwhelming.

“Aside from my two kids being born and marrying my wife, I don’t know if I’ve experienced something that’s more exciting than this,” Vossen said.

The Prep Bowl victory completed a 13-0 season.

The last Panthers team to go undefeated was in 2003, when Lakeville High School won the state largeschool championship.

Since 2003, the Panthers had known mostly playoff frustration. Their school became Lakeville North in 2005 and there were nine trips to the state playoffs. On several occasions, Eden Prairie was the team blocking the Panthers’ path. The Eagles defeated North 28-7 in the 2012 Class 5A final and beat the Panthers 35-0 in the Class 6A quarterfinals last year.

This season the Panthers were convinced it would be different. After years of playoff losses, they believed something was bound to happen in their favor.

“We just knew because of what we had,” senior defensive lineman and tight end Will Mostaert said. “We thought there had to be a win coming.”

After a wild first half that saw each team score three times, Lakeville

Lakeville North receiver Keaton Mohs brings in a pass from Brennan Kuebler that resulted in a 73-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the Panthers’ 28-21 victory over Eden Prairie in the Prep Bowl last Friday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Defending on the play is the Eagles’ J.D. Cowan.

North’s defense took over in the second half, holding Eden Prairie (10-2) to 78 yards. North junior RaJa Nelson scored the winning touchdown on a 10-yard run in the third quarter.

Defending champion Eden Prairie scored on a 49-yard pass and 80-yard run in the first half. But anybody who expected the Panthers to crumble under the pressure is still waiting.

“We knew we were going to have to face adversity,” Nelson said. “I kept calm. I knew we were going to make big plays, it just wasn’t our time at the moment.”

One big play was a 48yard pass from Brian Curtis Jr. to Nelson late in the first half, leading to Nelson’s 1-yard touchdown run and a 21-21 halftime tie. Another big play saw the Panthers, who rarely had to rely on passing this season, completing a 73yard bomb from Brennan Kuebler to Keaton Mohs for their second touchdown. In the third quarter, after the Panthers lost

a fumble in Eden Prairie grasp and returned it to territory, Eli Mostaert the Eagles’ 28, setting up yanked the ball out of Nelson’s go-ahead score. an Eden Prairie player’s “I’m always trying to

make a big play,” Eli Mostaert said, “and that was my time.”

The Panthers needed one more stop from their defense and got it on, of all things, a 22-yard Eden Prairie completion. With Eden Prairie facing fourth and 25 at midfield in the final minute and North playing to prevent a play for first-down yardage, Eagles quarterback Cole Kramer completed a pass to Cade Kramer over the middle. North linebacker Ryan Mudgett tackled Cade Kramer at the 27, short of a first down.

The North celebration was on.

“We had to make tackles, (pass breakups), knockdowns, picks, anything we could do to get the ‘W,’” Will Mostaert said. “And we did, by 2 yards.”

The Panthers denied a 12th state championship for Eden Prairie, the state’s preeminent large-school football program.

“We had our chances to win. We could have won; I don’t know if we should have,” Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant said. “Lakeville North is an outstanding team that keeps the pressure on you. You don’t have the margin for error that you might have against somebody else.”

North had 170 yards

rushing, with Nelson gaining 73 and scoring three times. Curtis was held below 100 yards for the first time all season but still led the Panthers in the Prep Bowl with 85.

Kuebler completed three of four passes for 95 yards. His shortest completion, a 9-yard throw to fullback Dawson Gode, still was significant because Gode made a tough catch on a fourth-and-five play that lead to Nelson’s go-ahead touchdown.

Not long after leaving the U.S. Bank Stadium field, the Panthers returned to their school to continue the celebration – and receive another reminder of why they wanted to succeed.

“I put out a post on Facebook thanking my family, and the tremendous outpouring of support I got from my community was overwhelming.

It’s little things like that when you realize how big this is to people outside of our locker room,” Vossen said. “It’s pretty special, and I think every single one of us is lucky to get to coach or play for this community. That’s why we have ‘Lakeville’ on the back of our jerseys.”

Prep Bowl notes: Halfback pass is North’s not-so-secret weapon

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North football coach Brian Vossen specializes in defense and leaves the offensive play calling to others on the Panthers’ staff.

Except for one play – the halfback, possibly the most dangerous play in the Panthers’ arsenal, even though they have to be careful about when they use it.

Every team that scout-

ed Lakeville North has seen it, including Eden Prairie, which appeared ready for the throw from Brian Curtis Jr. to RaJa Nelson late in the first half of last Friday’s Class 6A championship game and still couldn’t stop it.

It went for 48 yards, setting up a touchdown run

by Nelson just before halftime that tied the game.

Lakeville North scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and went on to win 28-21.

North’s defense had been hit with a couple of big plays for touchdowns.

Eden Prairie looked ready to take a 21-14 lead into the halftime break, and the Eagles were to get the first possession of the second half. The Panthers could have been reeling, but the big play at the end of the half got them back to even.

At halftime, Vossen said he told his players “this game just started over. We were in the same position

the first time we played them (a 14-0 Lakeville North victory over Eden Prairie on Sept. 7). Trust in the ‘O’ that they’re going to score. Just do our jobs and we’ll walk away with this thing.”

In two seasons as a starting running back, Curtis has thrown five halfback passes, completing all five for 256 yards and four touchdowns. In fact, his completion to Nelson at the Prep Bowl is the only pass Curtis has

Nelson, playing wide receiver, said he jogged off the line to sell the idea that Curtis was running. Nelson then took off down the sideline. Eden Prairie wasn’t fooled; the Eagles had two players covering the receiver but neither was able to break up a See Notes, 22A

Notes, from 21A well-thrown pass.

“We came out in the wrong formation, so (North offensive coordinator Bob) Kovich called a timeout so we could set up in the right formation,” Nelson said. “I was running like 30 percent at the corner. He saw that.

“I was thinking, I’ve got to make a play out of something. I just started running, Brian Curtis threw it up there for me to go get it, and I made a play on the ball. Every team has seen us do it. We can still make a play out of it even when they know it’s coming.”

And Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant said his team knew what was coming.

“That’s the most disappointing thing. We’ve seen that play from them,” Grant said. “You’ve got to give them credit for executing it. It was a great throw and a great catch. We were there, we just didn’t make the play.”

With Curtis and Nelson running behind a big, talented offensive line, the Panthers rarely needed to throw. But they were able to do so when necessary.

Quarterback Brennan Kuebler completed three of four passes for 95 yards in the Prep Bowl, including a 73-yard touchdown to Keaton Mohr. Then there was Curtis’ 48-yard completion.

Traditional holiday fun at Dazzle Day Farmington Business Association and Dakota City partner for second year

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Those in need of a little holiday spirit will find plenty at Dakota City Heritage Village in the coming weeks.

For the first two weekends in December from 1-8 p.m., the historic village and museum will host its annual Christmas in the Village event.

Families can explore the village and see how people celebrated Christmas in the early 1900s.

There will be carolers, horse-drawn trolleys and costumed volunteers who demonstrate cooking on a woodstove, woodworking and more.

On Saturday, Dec. 1, Dakota City will partner with the Farmington Business Association for Dazzle Day. This is the second year in a row that the two organizations have partnered for Dazzle Day. Previously, Dazzle Day was a community celebration that the FBA organized.

But after a couple of years of bad weather and struggles to find a location for the event, the

Visitors to Dakota City’s Christmas in the Village can tour the grounds in a horse-drawn trolley. Christmas in the Village takes place the first two weekends in December at 4008 220th St. W., Farmington.

FBA decided to reach out to Dakota City, FBA president Josh Solinger said. “(Christmas in the Village) is wonderful. They put on an amazing event.

And I just thought rather than us both using our resources separately, if we can use them together to make one awesome event, it’d be beneficial to both of us,” Solinger said.

The event worked out well last year, he said.

This year’s event will be similar.

There will be a community tree lighting at 5 p.m., Christmas carolers and free cookies and cocoa.

Of the roughly 80 FBA members, 15 businesses have contributed specifically to Dazzle Day, Solinger said.

Like last year, the FBA will have a business lighting competition.

The idea is to create a holiday theme throughout the city, Solinger said.

The winning business will receive the use of a party bus from Carlson Lines.

Last year, businesses like Pizza Man and Dakota County Lumber were putting up new decorations almost every day, he said.

He noted that the response has been “kind of tepid” this year, but said the FBA will still provide a bus tour of decorated locations in Farmington.

“This year, it’s probably just going to be more of just a tour through downtown. It’s still really cool because (Carlson Lines) really decks out the bus with Christmas, and

“A Christmas Carol” by Children’s Castle Theater at 4 and 6 p.m. in Ahlberg Hall.

There will also be volunteers demonstrating in the blacksmith shop and print shop. Other volunteers demonstrate oldfashioned cooking or are descendants of Dakota County settlers.

The volunteers are what make the village come alive, Akin said.

“That whole link of storytelling and sharing I think is what makes the whole event so special,” Akin said.

Though the annual event takes place in Farmington, it draws people from well outside the city limits, she said.

Some have come from as far as Stillwater or Rochester, or even Hudson, Wisconsin, to visit the village during Christmastime.

“We were very surprised at how far people come. … And a lot of times they’re with family: grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles or a group of friends, and they’re starting to make it their tradition to celebrate at Dakota City,” Akin said.

Whether people come for Dazzle Day or Christmas in the Village, Solinger said he hopes people get a chance to celebrate the holidays at Dakota City.

“There’s not too many things nowadays where families can really get together and shut off social media and cellphones just for a little bit and experience a traditional holiday event like Christmas in the Village offers and like our community Christmas tree lighting offers,” Solinger said.

To learn more about Christmas in the Village and to purchase tickets, visit www.dakotacity. org or call 651-460-8050.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $4 for 3-12 year olds.

Admission for children 2 and younger is free.

Tickets can also be purchased at the gate.

Dakota City is located at 4008 220th St. W., Farmington.
