New leadership, projects take shape by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The start of 2017 was the start of new leaderships and new projects. With the year coming to a close, it seems as if the city is continuing to move forward on projects. The City Council approved the 2018-2022 capital improvement plan, which included approximately $148 million worth of projects it hopes to complete within the fiveyear span. The capital improvement plan includes projects in all areas to improve the city. A few of these include expanding of watermain trunk facilities, water quality assessments and treatments, general maintenance to parks, and road construction. The city projects $17 million for transportation projects in 2018, including the expansion of County Road 70. The design of the expansion is set to start in 2018 with construction planned to begin in 2020. “The plan is really how we invest in the community through infrastructure, amenities, facilities and equipment. Some of it is not the most glamorous of projects but it’s the quality of life that we all expect to provide and it’s something the City Council has made a priority,� City Administrator Justin Miller said.

County on the road to better roads 2017 The breakup of a regional transit board means more revenue for Dakota County projects

by Tad Johnson

Year in Review

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Transportation is often cited as the most important concern of Dakota County residents as past surveys have shown that the majority of working adults travel north and cross the Minnesota River each day to go to work. County government leaders think that 2017 will be looked back upon as a year in which there was a seismic change in addressing the county’s transportation needs. In March 2017, the Counties Transit Improvement Board dissolved after Dakota County protested that it was not getting its fair share of return on investment in projects to serve its residents. The result is that the county will no longer be funnelling millions into CTIB and instead the county has implemented

Dakota County received $21.3 million when the group broke up — $5.3 million more than it was originally offered. Commissioner Mary Liz Holberg, who represents the Lakeville area, said an important aspect of the deal is that the Metropolitan Council will pay for the $1 million in annual operating costs for the bus rapid transit Red Line from Apple Valley to the Mall of America. Smith says the dissolution of CTIB does not mean the end of transit projects that serve suburban residents, including those potential customers of the bus rapid transit Orange Line that would connect Burnsville to Minneapolis. He said transit projects

and their funding formula based such criteria and mileage and ridership will be determined on a caseby-case basis. Smith said even though there were strong feelings after the breakup of CTIB, Hennepin County is working with Dakota County leaders on the Orange Line. Dakota County Commissioner Tom Egan said he would like to continue working with regional partners to extend the Red and Orange BRT lines to Lakeville. “In spite of much acrimony and consternation, Dakota County has proven the prudence in its decision to withdraw from CTIB,� he said. “All former CTIB counties have found the benefits of forming more strategically aligned partnerships with other counties while operating independently when appropriate.�

Holberg said the MVTA’s express bus Kenrick Avenue Park and Ride is at capacity and additional investments are going to have to be made along the I-35 corridor. She said discussions are also happening regarding transit routes from Hastings to Minneapolis-St. Paul. Holberg said talks are happening with regard to a shuttle service from Airlake Industrial Park to the Cedar Avenue Red Line stop, and working with Minnesota Valley Transit Authority to connect the Red Line to Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount. Smith said there is pent up demand for Dakota County transportation projects. Egan said during an interview about the CTIB breakup in March that See COUNTY, 12A

Robots bridge international borders Eagan High School robotics team representatives travel to Poland and France by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics, often referred to as STEM fields, are becoming more popular and accessible in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. From STEM-themed magnet schools to STEM-focused extracurriculars, opportunities abound in District 196. One group of high school students is working to share these opportunities with students around the world. Representatives from Eagan High School’s FIRST FRC Robotics Team 2220, Blue Twilight, partnered with Polish Team 5883, The Spice Gears, to support robotics programs in Polish elementary schools. This week-long trip was an outreach program of Team 2220’s Robots Without Borders program. This is not the first time Robotics Without Borders has sent representatives out into the world. In October 2016, it sent students to Poland and Germany, and last December representatives attended the United Nations World Advocacy Conference in New York. This year, Katie Hendricksen, an Apple Valley resident and senior at First Baptist High School, and Luke Lovegreen, a senior at Eagan High School, traveled with three adult mentors to build on connections and relationships formed during past trips. They worked with the only FRC team in Poland to accomplish a unified goal: to help grow the number of robotics teams in Europe. “Internationally, Europe is very weak with respect to STEM specifically with respect to FIRST,� Eagan High School robotics head coach Dave Hen-

the trip, said the visits illustrated much about the future direction of global competition. “Polish business leaders have learned the lessons of global commerce quite well from their position in the EU,� he said. “Whether a branch of another global company or organic to Poland, they understand the competitive advantages of increased manufacturing automation and take great interest in training the students of tomorrow — so they were very happy to host us.� Although their itinerary was packed with meetings, trainings and exhibitions, Hendricksen and Lovegreen had some time to bond with the Polish team. They ate meals, played pool, went ice-skating and toured castles together. Hendricksen said the team members have been able to stay in touch through apps and social media. Jane Peterson said robotics often brings students together as they compete with and against each other. “Many students make a lot of great friends from other teams,� Peterson said. “Spice Gears Team 5883 is now our sister team and we have visited them at competitions in Canada and the Robotics World Championships.� After spending eight days in Poland, most of the group returned home. Katie and Dave Hendricksen continued on to Paris where they met with UN staff from UNESCO — the branch that works most closely with STEMrelated programs. The father-daughter pair met with Engineering Program Specialist for UNESCO Rovani Sigamoney to talk about broadening Robots Without Borders’ reach. “She’s working with us to get (Robots Without

Borders) trademarked,� Dave Hendricksen said. “We are trying to see how we can get FIRST to become a worldwide program.� In total, the trip lasted from Dec. 1-12 — the Hendricksens had to stay an extra day in Amsterdam on their way home due to a snowstorm. Team 2220 has three main outreach programs: Stem In Action, which organizes local, regional and national outreach; Women in Robotics Empowering Sisters (WIRES), a female engagement outreach program, and Robots Without Borders, their international outreach organization. Katie Hendricksen said all three of these programs are important to opening up STEM and robotics opportunities to more students. “Robotics teaches you to learn how to innovate,� she said. “Kids learn how to learn — and how to make new things.� Her father agrees. “In Minnesota, we have great engagement for STEM relating to FIRST — although we still have plenty of work in underprivileged areas,� Dave Hendricksen said. “The key is connecting students to STEM professionals so they can see what some of the real possibilities are.� In the spring, Hendricksen will attend Bethel University in St. Paul where she will study computer science. She’s looking forward to finding ways to mentor younger students interested in robotics. Lovegreen plans to attend the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he will major in mechanical engineering.

Opinion Welcoming and preparing for the changing faces of Minnesota Minnesota’s face is changing and it is changing fast. Our ECM Editorial Board has looked at the issues and opportunities these changes will create for our future selves over the course of the past year. The state has seen its stereotypical Scandinavian and European white face change to include many colors. By the end of the 20th century, we saw large numbers of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, Chinese, Hispanic, African and Middle Eastern people settle in various parts of the state. Race isn’t the only thing changing among us. Our state is aging at a rapid rate. Five years ago, 13 percent of our population was 65 years or older – 2015 numbers say that has grown to 15 percent. By 2040, the percentage of people over 65 is estimated to be 20 percent. Disparities are growing. The divide between rich and poor is getting larger. The median family income in Minnesota is $61,492, yet 10.2 percent of our people live in poverty. The face of the Minnesota worker is changing. Despite the unemployment rate sitting at a long-time low of 3.1 percent, all is not rosy throughout the state. Unemployment in logging and mining is almost 8 percent. The unemployment rate among black/African Americans

ECM Editorial This is the final installment in an editorial series called The Changing Face of Minnesota. This year, the ECM Publishers Editorial Board examined demographic changes and disparities in Minnesota that center around race, wealth, age, region and employment. is almost 9 percent. At the same time, businesses are hungry for skilled workers throughout manufacturing and other industries. The state’s changing face is also obvious in school systems. Burnsville-EaganSavage and Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan school districts report that its students speak up to 100 languages at home. Some schools have large percentages of students who struggle with English. The achievement gap continues to grow. We have urged the following action to address the many faces we see around us: Regarding jobs and employment, we said this is no time for government to skimp on higher education, early education with targeted scholarships for atrisk toddlers, skills training, health care, child-care assistance and programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit that

make climbing the ladder of a changing, competitive economy a little easier. We also said: “Too many minorities with post-secondary degrees, particularly blacks, wind up in temporary jobs or other low-wage work, which depresses their earnings as a group. But when blacks are able to find jobs in industries related to their majors, wage disparities disappear.” “People of color comprise 24 percent of the Twin Cities region’s working-age population; their ranks are projected to grow to 50 percent by 2050. Without a virtuous cycle of inclusive education, training, recruitment, employment and advancement, Minnesota’s economy will fall short of its potential.” When we looked at the aging face of Minnesota, we agreed increased pressure would be placed on public services as our population ages. And all of it will be occurring as fewer workers are attempting to support those programs. Our greatest tool in a framework for preparation is education. “Clearly there are challenges with an aging population, but there is also great hope of what can be achieved. It starts by recognizing and nurturing the tremendous potential in all Minnesotans no matter what their age might be.” As for the divide that seems to exist

between rural and urban Minnesota, we looked at the reasons for unity. “There is real opportunity in these areas — it just needs an innovative mindset and a willingness to welcome change. There’s no question Minnesota is a diverse state with regional and local challenges. Like the rest of our country, Minnesotans need to find ways to solve the two realities of our state in a fair and balanced manner. One cannot thrive at the expense of the other.” We will do future generations a great service by acknowledging these changes today and begin to plan and prepare for tomorrow. Increasing the awareness and decreasing the disparities should be key to our action plan. We are only as strong as our weakest link. We need to help those in poverty rise up to a functioning level. We need to work hand-in-hand with our state’s business community for a full and active workforce. While the face of tomorrow’s Minnesota will be very different than our stereotypes, it can be one that is prosperous and rewarding for all. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

Good news about Minnesota high school students by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Here’s good news to end the year. Many of us know young people who have recently graduated from Minnesota high schools. They, and the schools serving them, are doing better in some important ways. Two recent reports show progress in three related areas. First, Minnesota high school graduation rates are going up. Second, graduation gaps between students of different races are closing. Third, the percentage of public high school graduates who are taking “developmental” — also called “remedial” — courses on entering Minnesota’s colleges and universities is going down. Let’s start with the high school graduation rates. Statistics from the federal National Center for Education Statistics show that Minnesota’s four-year high school graduation rates have increased from 2011 to 2016 overall and for every student group. Moreover, the graduation gap between students of different races is closing. Here are the changes in Minnesota’s

Joe Nathan four-year graduation rates between those two years: African-American, from 49 percent to 65 percent; American Indian, 42 percent to 53 percent; Asian-American, 72 percent to 84 percent; Hispanic, 51 percent to 65 percent; white, 84 percent to 87 percent. Detailed information about four-year “adjusted cohort high school graduation rates” is available for 2015-16 at http:// bit.ly/2nvjvWe and for 2010-11 at http:// bit.ly/2CHSHoo. These figures also show that Minnesota ranks slightly below national high school graduation averages, which were 84 percent nationally in 2016 and 82 percent in Minnesota. But it’s not enough to graduate from

high school. Some critics have suggested that graduation rates are up in part because high schools are pushing students through, even if they have weak skills. That’s why the second report, from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, is helpful and encouraging. This shows a steady decline in the percentage of Minnesota high school graduates who are taking remedial courses at Minnesota Colleges and Universities. This figure declined statewide from 28 percent for 2010 graduates to 23 percent for 2014 graduates. Preliminary figures for 2015 graduates show another decline, to 21 percent. Taking remedial courses costs students and families millions of dollars. According to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, the 2013 cost was almost $12 million. And students who take remedial courses are less likely to graduate from a college or university. Information about the percentage and trends of graduates taking remedial courses at each Minnesota public high school is available here: http://bit. ly/2B5jASO.

Here’s data from 2014 area high school graduates, when the statewide average was 23 percent taking at least one remedial course: Apple Valley High School: 19 percent. Burnsville High School: 25 percent. Eagan High School: 17 percent. Eastview High School: 17 percent. Farmington High School: 23 percent. Rosemount High School: 17 percent. Students and schools are much more complex than just a few numbers. But graduation and remedial course rates give us important information. Yes, there’s still work to do. But let’s end the year with thanks to the students, families and educators who have helped produce real, measurable progress.

Letters What life is all about To the editor: Like almost everyone else, I’ve spent the last few weeks indulging my fondness for all things Christmas. ’Tis the season to be feasting on holiday concerts (sacred and secular), holiday parties, holiday television shows and movies and plays. It’s an exhausting business, savoring all the delights offered up at this time of year. Fortunately, I didn’t take a pass on one last opportunity to sample the pleasures of the season. I was tempted, mind you, to stay home on Dec. 21 and write the last of the cards and wrap the first of the gifts. But I was intrigued by the newspaper’s article about the ProAct Playhouse troupe and its original production, “The Greatest Gift.” So intrigued, in fact, that I put my “to do” list aside and made my way to the Lakeville Area Arts Center, where I joined a large number of theater-goers for an experience none of us will soon forget. I’m no drama critic, but

I can say with certainty that in a long lifetime of attendance at and participation in music and theater activities, I have never partaken of such an uninhibited display of joie de vivre as was served up by the ProAct players last Thursday evening. In an age that considers itself to be oh-so-enlightened, we still too often regard “the disabled” as leading diminished lives. Oh, we deny it, but the tragic frequency with which we abort children diagnosed in the womb as imperfect tells the sad truth. By way of correcting our course, we could all do with a demonstration — such as we audience members had last night in Lakeville — of the degree to which folks with disabilities can show us what life is all about.

already covered by federal law. Federal and state laws provide for many safeguards to the public when a person takes the responsibility to own a firearm. The proposed legislation that Lewis is supporting is a rational position on the control of firearms. So, the local ads that tell you otherwise are not telling the whole story. For example, the House is voting on two pieces of legislation. One bill deals with concealed-carry reciprocity and the other is to improve the national criminal background check system and a report on bump-stocks. The concealed-carry bill does not restrict any local authorities to alter their laws. It does require a thorough federal background check. It supports current gun owners’ rights that they can carry across state lines but still be held accountable for local laws. I think we can all agree that strengthening the Na-

tional Crime Background Check System is a good step. Federal agencies will now be penalized for falling behind on the reporting requirements and the attorney general will be responsible for a report every two years on the use of bump-stocks in committed crimes. The whole purpose is to make the streets safe from criminals; not penalize those who respect the laws and handle their duties responsibly. For that, I commend Lewis for finding a reasonable solution.

County Board salaries To the editor: As of Dec. 29, Dakota County commissioners will have an increase in salary from $77,450 to $80,016. Note: they can sign a waiver and refuse the pay

increase. They will also receive in increase of 1.5 percent yearly per diem up to $5,508. I found this information on Page 292 of a 592 page meeting agenda! This information should be front page news! I do not know if they deserve a raise, but I do believe the information should be more available rather than buried in the middle of a 570-page document. Total compensation is over $85,000 a year. Ask yourself are they watching out for spending and are they husbanding the resources that we taxpayers provide. Personally, I have my doubts. GUY STINSON Apple Valley Editor’s note: The letter was received last week as information for the Dec. 22 story “County sets top salaries” was being gathered. The story ran on the front of the Lakeville edition.

Real estate office raises $2,155 Realtors in the Eagan office of Coldwell Banker Burnet raised more than $2,155 for the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District’s program to provide weekend meals for families in need. Realtors Jay Hansen and Tony Sampair and retired Realtor Bill Tschohl coordinated the fundraising effort that involved donations coming from the office’s 80 Relators, other staff members and their contacts throughout the month of December. District 196 Foundation Director Christine Searson of Apple Valley got the ball rolling to start the fundraiser after she asked her friend, Hansen, how the office might be able to help. Hansen and Sampair asked for donations after providing information about work that Minneapolis-based nonprofit The

Sheridan Story does in District 196 to provide a supply of food to students each Friday for their family to have over the weekend. District 196 Director of Community Education Khia Brown also spoke the office staff in an effort to more fully explain how the program works. The District 196 Foundation has a goal of raising $150,000 to fund the food program. It costs $130 a year to provide the weekend food to each student. The real estate office was able to cover funds for 16 students. Khia said the members of the Eagan office should be congratulated for their leadership and support of the District 196 Foundation. Tschohl, a District 196 Foundation director, said that Christmas time is a

difficult time to ask for money, but it is so important to help these young students. Hansen and Sampair said they hope the office will serve as an example for others to follow. Those interested in giving a tax-deductible donation can send checks to District 196 Foundation, include “The Sheridan Story� in the memo line, care of Khia Brown, Director of Community Education, 15180 Canada Ave., Rosemount, MN 55068. Those with questions about making a donation or partnership with District 196 Foundation, call Brown at 651-423-7720 or email her at khia.brown@ district196.org. Tschohl can be reached at 952-432-4615 or billtschohl@gmail.com.

The Open Door wins Touchstone community award Military Family Support Group and DARTS are named runners-up Dakota Electric Association named The Open Door, Eagan, as the local 2017 Touchstone Energy Community Award winner. Military Family Support Group, Burnsville, and DARTS, West St. Paul, were named runnersup, and each of the nonprofits received a plaque and a check for $500. “Dakota Electric is proud to be able to recognize these organizations doing great work in our local communities,� said Greg Miller, Dakota Electric’s president and chief executive officer. “As a member-owned cooperative, we are committed to our local communities and this is one way we encourage and honor those who are like-minded.� The Open Door’s innovative approach using mobile food pantries is helping to tackle the unique challenges of suburban hunger. Since 2013, the organization has been bring-

ing fresh and healthy food options directly to parts of local communities where it is needed most. The Pop Up Produce Stands program, just launched in 2017, uses social media and other community connections to distribute farm-fresh produce to people in a short amount of time. The Open Door’s Mobile Food Pantries served nearly 12,000 people in 2016 and distributed more than 183,000 pounds of food. Military Family Support Group seeks to provide military personnel serving in war zones care packages and support to reassure them that they are not forgotten. DARTS provides home services and transportation to elderly and disabled in Dakota County along with providing older adults volunteer opportunities. The Touchstone Energy

Community Award recognizes organizations for outstanding contributions to the local community. The Open Door award application will be submitted to the statewide Minnesota Touchstone Energy Community Award. The statewide award recipient will be selected from local award winners throughout Minnesota and will receive $1,000. The Minnesota honor will be announced in February, during the Minnesota Rural Electric Association’s annual meeting in St. Paul. A customer-owned, nonprofit utility since 1937, Farmington-based Dakota Electric Association provides electricity to more than 106,000 members throughout Dakota County and portions of Goodhue, Rice and Scott counties. Dakota Electric is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

City earns $20K to help build park Program and design focuses on healthy living

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

preliminary master plan includes paved and natural trails with fitness pods, play areas by age groups, a picnic shelter. It will be located on the east side of Holyoke Avenue, across from All Saints Catholic Church. City staff submitted a proposal to McKee Foods Corporation after a local resident proposed the idea to them. The staff in charge of the proposal will receive recognition once the park is built. Construction is expected to start in 2018.

The Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department received a $20,000 grant to assist in the construction of Legacy Neighborhood Park. McKee Foods Corporation created the program titled OH! (The Outdoor Happiness Movement). The McKee Foods Corporation is based in Tennessee and includes brands such as Little Debbie, Sunbelt, Drake’s, Heartland and Fieldstone.

Starliners dance team kicks to the top Group shows sportsmanship at competition by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Lakeville Starliners Dancers proved dancing is more about sportsmanship than winning during a recent meet against Prior Lake. When Starliners coach Jeanne Johnson saw their competitors were unable to wear their costumes out due to a zipper malfunction, she offered to have the Prior Lake dancers wear the Starliners costumes for their jazz routine. “I told her they could wear our costumes. They all lined up with a girl that matched her body type. It was no big deal. I

There was no time work as well as their re- anything negative, accord- to think about it and there

was nothing to worry about, according to the team. There was some confusion in the audience once the Prior Lake team walked on the the dance floor. Parents and judges thought they had the same costumes and wondered why they hadn’t seen them on the Prior Lake dancers before. “We didn’t tell anyone because we didn’t have time to say anything,� Johnson said. Even though the Prior Lake dance team beat the Starliners, the girls still were happy to loan their costumes. The Starliners are a 42-girl team in sixth, seventh and eighth grade. They compete in multiple competitions throughout the year as well as noncompetitive performances.

They perform a jazz and kick-line routine. The dancers only see each other twice a week but develop friendships on and off the floor. According to the dancers, they enjoy working together inside the studio, support each other and help each other grow outside of the studio as well. Johnson has been a dance coach since 1996 and has owned South Metro Dance Academy in Lakeville for 13 years. She acknowledges that dancers can have a bad reputation associated with them when it comes to competing with each other and says everyone is there to support each other regardless of what team they dance for. “I think there is something special about dance kids,� she said.

Sports Lakeville now a national, international force in sports Local athletes making Year in Review an impact beyond the city’s borders Panthers best

2017

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Decades ago, Lakeville was a farming community and its athletes excelled at the high school level. Now, Lakeville’s athletes continue to excel in prep sports but are making an impact in college, in the pros and in international competition. That’s likely to continue as each year produces a new group of Lakeville athletic stars. Here’s a look at some of the top Lakeville athletes – and top sports stories – of 2017.

Poised Panthers take state Eagan defeated Lakeville North in two regular-season volleyball matches, which seemed to give the Wildcats a psychological advantage when the teams met again, this time in the state Class 3A championship match. But Lakeville North wasn’t buying it. The Panthers believed they weren’t far from beating Eagan, and if they improved just a little in the weeks before the state tournament they would have a chance. “That extra month gave us a lot of perspective,” senior middle blocker Kennedy Brady said. “We didn’t need to get a whole lot better. Just that 2 percent, and that’s what got us here.” They proved their point with a 25-20, 21-25, 25-20, 2523 victory in the state final at Xcel Energy Center. Elizabeth Juhnke had 24 kills and three other North players had eight or more. The Panthers’ defense, meanwhile, disrupted Eagan’s attack. North also took advantage of some uncharacteristic errors from the two-time defending state champs. North won the title in its first appearance at state since 2012, when the Panthers also took the state championship.

Lakeville South 2nd in boys track Lakeville South had a onepoint lead in the boys team standings at the state Class AA track and field meet with one event remaining. Unfortunately for the Cougars, they didn’t have an entry in that final event, the 4x400-meter relay, making it unlikely they would hold onto the lead. East Ridge jumped past South to win the team title, but the Cougars’ second-place finish was the best in Jon Gilmer’s 33 years as a head track and field coach in Lakeville, and possibly the best finish every for any Lakeville boys team. Eric Rousemiller won the shot put and Noah Shafer the pole vault as South moved up in the team standings. Jeremiah Jacobson medaled in two sprints and ran the anchor leg on a seventh-place 4x200 relay. Other Lakeville state track highlights included South’s Jenny Mosser taking second in the girls high jump, North’s Madi Moorhouse finishing second in girls shot put, North’s Evan El-Halawani taking third in two hurdles races and Danielle Bellino of North finishing third in the girls 800.

in the gym Lakeville North didn’t lose to a Class AA gymnastics team the entire 2016-17 season, concluding it with a victory in the state meet at the University of Minnesota. The Panthers, who scored as high as 150.8 during the season, didn’t match that at state, but their score of 149.325 was more than two points ahead of St. Cloud Tech. The state championship was the 11th for Lakeville/Lakeville North but the first since 2003. Lakeville North’s Anna Altermatt and Rachel Steiner were third and fifth in the Class AA all-around competition, with Steiner placing second in two individual events.

Kennedy Brady helped lead Lakeville North to the state Class 3A volleyball championship. The Panthers defeated two-time defending champion Eagan in four sets in the final. 17, then took second to Chisago Lakes in the state meet at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Bailey Servais of North was third in among individuals in the team competition and also took third third in the individual meet. Teammate Kathryn Kossack was fifth in the team event and 11th in the individual race. Lakeville South’s Lauren Geary finished sixth in the girls individual competition.

Playing with purpose The Lakeville North boys soccer program was stung by the death of assistant coach Seamus Tritchler, who died of cancer in January 2017. Then, about 10 days before the start of tryouts, senior goalkeeper Joey Dokken died unexpectedly. Difficult as it was to focus on soccer, the Panthers played on. Playing for the memory or Tritchler and Dokken, Lakeville North qualified for the state soccer tournament for the first time since 2010. Lakeville North routed Farmington 5-0 in the Section 1AA final on goals by Max Kent, Cole Zeller, Adam Tremblay, Silas Adamson and Josiah Enderson. The Panthers, who graduated eight seniors from a team that lost just one game the previous season, finished 12-4-4 after a 1-0 loss to Duluth East in the state Class AA quarterfinals.

was ready when injuries took the Montreal Canadiens’ top two goalies out of the lineup. He played eight games this season with a 2.43 goals-against average and .924 save percentage. Justin Kloos, a Mr. Hockey award winner at Lakeville South and four-year player at the University of Minnesota, signed a free-agent contract with the Minnesota Wild. He was called up for one game this season and currently plays for the Wild’s American Hockey League affiliate in Des Moines, Iowa. Potential NHL players from Lakeville include St. Cloud State forward Ryan Poehling and Boston University goalie Jake Oettinger. Both were selected in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft. Poehling went 25th to Montreal and Oettinger was taken by Dallas with the 26th pick.

Historic feat for South tennis Chase and Hunter Roseth became the first Lakeville South player to qualify for the state Class AA boys tennis tournament. But they did more than just show up. They finished second in the doubles tournament. Chase, a senior and six-year varsity standout, was South’s No. 1 singles player. For the Section 1AA individual tourney he chose a different route, pairing with his brother to play doubles.

Fitness resolutions made easier in 2018 Xperience Fitness comes to Apple Valley this spring by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With 2018 only a few days away, it’s time to set resolutions for the new year. Many will decide to set a health or fitness goal, and it’s going to get a lot easier to meet it in Apple Valley with the construction of a new gym. Xperience Fitness is moving into Apple Valley Square near 42 and Cedar Avenue. Construction will start late spring, and the gym will open by early fall. The gym seeks to offer fun and energizing workouts that serve experienced athletes as well as those trying to get back in shape. They already have locations in Blaine, Vadnais Heights, Woodbury and Roseville, and 10 gyms in Wisconsin. Three more are coming to Minnesota later this year, including a second location in Blaine. Lisa Wadsen, vice president of Real Estate and Development, said Xperience Fitness meets two needs of the community at the same time when it moves into a new location. First, it fills in physical spaces in the community. Xperience builds their facilities in pre-existing buildings. By occupying vacant big-box spaces, such as grocery or retail stores, the business can revitalize the space. Apple Valley is an attractive location for such renovation, as the city continues to rapidly grow and develop. “We look at the community as a healthy, vibrant, growing community,� Wadsen said. “There are businesses who want to expand in that area and want to be a part of that.� Second, Xperience Fitness seeks to fill a gap in the resources offered to the community. They try

Members can access a three-lane swimming pool, cardio equipment and weight training facilities and a functional area. The gyms are equipped with workout machines such as treadmills, X-trainers, recumbent bikes, upright bikes, stepmills, spin bikes and rowers, from brands such as Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Matrix, Precor, Hoist, Octane, Cybex, Torque, Real Ryder and SciFit. They also house a large variety of resistance equipment such as plate-loaded free-weight equipment, dumbbells and barbells. They’ve got kettle bells, medicine balls, ropes, squat racks with platforms, cablebased machines and other equipment. Those seeking a fitness community might be interested in the group training room, group fitness studios, cycle stu-

dio and large variety of classes, such as Zumba, Body Pump, cycle and Silver Sneaker classes. Xperience fitness also offers mind and body classes in a variety of formats. The gyms offer personal training programs, as well as nutritional advice and supplements. Additionally, the gyms have tanning booths, a sauna and full-service locker rooms. Members will have 24-hour access to the gym and the ability to cancel anytime without question. Members who need child care will be able to purchase Kids Club memberships for their children. Although there is a joining fee, there is no contract — members pay month-to-month and can cancel at any time. “We knew there was a need for a full-service club at a really great value,� Wadsen said. “We really try and give the best options of membership.� Wadsen said Xperience Fitness is set apart not only by its facilities and equipment, but also by its unique personal

training menu, which includes one-on-one training, small group training and stretching and core options, as well as nutritional guidance options. For an extra fee, members can participate in Elevate programs, which claim to offer “the most cutting-edge exercise science, programming, nutrition and technology available.� The programs are designed to help participants reach their fitness goals faster. Xperience Fitness CEO Jon Barton emphasized the uniqueness of the brand. “We summarize our brand as ‘fitness on your own terms,’� Barton said. “We recognized opportunity through solving the fundamental flaws in our industry’s dominant business models. Once we formed Xperience Fitness, we had the creative freedom to improve our model and evolve to what we are today.� Wadsen said the gym will not only offer resources to its members but to the whole community, as they are committed to

hosting community outreach events. The details are yet to come. “We want to partner with the community to get people moving, no matter what, to help with their overall fitness,� she said. Interested people will be able to join a membership waitlist after Jan. 1, 2018, at www.myxperiencefitness.com. They can find more information about the gyms online. “We are excited to grow our brand, not only in Apple Valley but in the Twin Cities,� Wadsen said.

COUNTY, from 2A Dakota County has $500 million in unmet transportation needs. Among the larger projects that are slated to be completed in 2018 are improvements to the intersection of County Road 26 (Lone Oak Road) and County Road 43 (Lexington Avenue) in Eagan, reconstruction of a stretch of Highway 55 at County Road 42 near the Rosemount-Hastings border and County Road 32 (McAndrews Road) from Highway 3 in Rosemount to Pilot Knob Road in Apple Valley. There is a long list of other projects in the works for the coming years, and Holberg said some of these are going to be accelerated because of the Dakota County Transit Sales Tax. “But the reality is some of this is going to take time to ramp up,� she said. Two of the County Board’s goals for 2018 are to begin the Eastern Dakota County Transit Study and complete the Principal Arterial Study. Among the new hires expected in 2018 are those to help the County Transportation Department design, plan, manage and aquire right of way for future projects. Holberg said the new hires are a result of the county’s CTIB exit along with the infusion of additional funding approved

The levy is the amount that has a direct impact on residents’ property taxes. Assuming a 6.9 percent market value increase for a median residential home of $243,900, the county portion of taxes is projected to increase by $15.97 from 2017 to 2018. The county portion of taxes for a commercial or industrial property valued at $1 million is projected to decrease by 2.82 percent, assuming an increase in value from 2017 to 2018 of 2.2 percent. The operating and Capital Improvement Plan portion of the levy is slated to increase 2.9 percent to $136.65 million in 2018, while the Regional Rail Authority is proposed to decrease 79.5 percent to $330,000. Total spending by the county is projected to increase by 3.9 percent in 2017 to $379.19 million in 2018. That increase is largely due to budget needs for transportation projects; long-term investments in parks, natural resources, libraries and maintenance facilities; information technology security; increased caseloads; and emergency housing. The county expects to add 28.6 full-time equivalent positions in 2018.

Housing stability The 2018 budget invests $1.2 million into housing stability efforts, according to Smith. During the past year, the county has contracted with Matrix to manage emergency shelters at various churches, and Holberg said she has served on a task force to develop ways to provide transitional housing for the homeless. Smith said the county is working with local governments in an effort to increase the stock of affordable units. Holberg said a new initiative of the Dakota County Community Development Agency is using one unit in each of its 11 county workforce housing developments for those

“who are hard to house.� Those clients could be those who suffered a recent job loss and were unable to pay their rent, or seniors whose retirement savings ran out. The effort to provide more transitional and affordable housing will take a great amount of communication with local residents in advance of the creation of more units. She said if people better understood the kinds of people who are becoming homeless, they would have a greater acceptance of such housing coming to their cities and neighborhoods.

website to make it more user friendly and better for people to conduct transactions. In the last quarter of 2017, the county’s “Dakota� magazine offered a guide into the ways in which residents can provide their voice with regard to services, in addition to volunteering with the county or serving on a county advisory board. Egan said in 2017, Dakota County held a record number of open houses and public meetings during improved and more convenient hours on more subjects than ever before.

Communications

During the 2017 legislative session Dakota County earned a $6 million state allocation to install new turbines at the Lake Byllesby Dam. The new turbines will generate 40 percent more electricity, which will reduce power costs. The turbines inside the dam are about 107 years old. They have had several major overhauls and need to be replaced, according to the county. Preliminary designs and determined the process moving forward to replace the turbines and upgrade the powerhouse. A general contractor will be selected this spring, and construction is slated to start on the four-year project in the fall. Dakota County contracts with a vendor to operate the county-owned turbines that produce electricity. The operator then sells the energy produced by the dam, which is about 12,000 megawatts or enough to power 2,400 homes annually, to Xcel Energy. The $8 million wind turbine at the University of Minnesota’s UMORE Park in Rosemount is listed as a 2.5 megawatt producer.

Smith said one of the biggest changes in county government in 2017 was a broader communications effort. While the sheriff’s office has been on social media for a number of years, the county launched Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn pages in the past year. The effort, which has gained 2,000-plus followers combined, aims to reach Dakota County residents where they are already engaging with friends and neighbors. “It is a way to directly connect and engage with the community,� Smith said. “When something happens it’s really important to let people know what’s going on even if we are not the first to jump into it.� Mary Beth Schubert, county communications coordinator, said social media provides a different way for people to provide feedback. She said the greater the opportunity for communication, the better it allows the community to be as transparent as possible. Smith said the effort aims to create “deeper public engagement� as people understand what county government does so they know where they have the opportunity to make it better. He said the county is working to improve its

Thisweekend Monk seals receive surgery to restore sight The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley works every day to provide world-class care to all 4,800-plus animals on-site. On Nov. 9, two female Hawaiian monk seals – Koa and Opua – had eye surgeries performed by Dr. Carmen Colitz a veterinary ophthalmologist who specializes in marine mammal eye procedures. Dr. Jim Rasmussen, senior veterinarian at the zoo, brought together and oversaw the team consisting of Colitz, Dr. James Bailey, a veterinary anesthesiologist specializing in marine mammal anesthesiology, veterinary staff from the University of Minnesota veterinary anesthesiology department and zoo veterinary staff. The procedures were successful with actual surgical times of approximately 1 hour per eye, however the total time of anesthesia for the animals was significantly longer due to preparation for and recovery from surgery. “We are very pleased with how smoothly the surgeries went,� Rasmussen said. “We are fortunate to be able to work with the specialists like Dr. Colitz and Dr. Bailey to provide these seals with these lifechanging surgeries.� “The marine mammal staff have been monitoring the seals closely and

Minnesota Zoo doctors and those from the University of Minnesota performed eye surgeries on two of the Hawaiian monk seals at the zoo. Four of the five seals at the zoo have eyesight problems. are happy that both seals appear to be doing well and healing properly.� said Melanie Oerter, the zoo’s marine mammal curator “They are now both back in the water and may be seen swimming around their pools.� The zoo is home to five geriatric female Hawaiian monk seals, all of which were rescued as juveniles in the wild off the coast of Hawaii. Four of the five seals have visual impairments. These surgeries were performed to prevent future problems

and improve vision in the animals. The recovery stage was estimated to take three to four weeks, and so far zoo staff are cautiously optimistic that Koa and Opua will make a full recoveries. Koa may even regain her sight partially, if not fully. Due to lack of function and observed discomfort, one of Opua’s eyes was removed during her surgery and she appears more comfortable. Zoo staff will continue to closely monitor the seals to ensure they are healing properly, but their condi-

tions seem healthy and stable. The current group of Hawaiian monk seals arrived at the zoo in 2015 and the zoo is the only place outside of Hawaii where the general public can see these animals in person. Hawaiian monk seals are critically endangered, with only an estimated 1,400 individuals left in the wild, and the only marine mammal endemic to the United States, only found along the coasts of the Hawaiian islands. More about the seals is at www.mnzoo.org.

Managing middle school, theater Lakeville seventh-grader in ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Kayla Culver

“The Wizard of Oz� and “Aladdin.� Freeburg’s talent doesn’t stop at plays and musicals. She has also been in short films and commercials. She notes the difference in how she must perform depending on the type of medium being used for production. “If you want to do one you have to learn both (theater and film) and be able to switch easily. If you want to do theater you might not do it big enough if you’re used to being on screen,� Freeburg said. Freeburg still has time for regular middle school activities while managing her performance schedule. She enjoys knitting, doing crafts, hanging out with her brother and sister as well as playing with her pets. She already knows she wants to continue on this path and work as an actress when she is older. For now, she will continue to audition and perform in productions all over the Twin Cities. Performances run through Dec. 30 at the Guthrie Theater, 818 S. Second St., Minneapolis. Tickets can be purchased at www.guthrietheater.org.

“A Christmas Carol� has been adapted countless times over the years. As an annual tradition, the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis modifies the story into a musical for the holiday season. One Lakeville seventh-grader landed the role as Belinda Cratchit, Tiny Tim’s older sister. When class has been out of session at Century Middle School this year, Ella Freeburg has been on stage with a book playing the role of a timeless character. “I love playing her. It’s really fun,� Freeburg said. Freeburg not only gets to play Belinda on stage but also participates in the traditions the Guthrie does every year while putting on the show. Each year gift donations are collected and then given to a family for Christmas. The cast gets together for a wrapping party before the gifts are given to the family. “It’s a lot of fun. They just have the best time,� Ella’s mom, Jessica Freeburg, said. At 12 years old Freeburg has already dedicated most of her day-to-

Vikings warm up this winter Apple Valley-based company heats up practice field and stadium

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Apple Valley-based company is helping to keep the Vikings and their fans a little warmer this winter. Uponor North America recently installed a radiant heating turf conditioning system in the Minnesota Vikings’ new 168,000-square-foot practice field in Eagan. The system features Uponor’s trademarked Radiant Rollout Mats, and will keep snow and frost off the outdoor field all winter long. Director of Sales Joe Grubesic explained that Uponor embedded pipes under the practice field. Hot water and antifreeze flow through these pipes to keep the ground temperature stable despite decreasing temperatures. “It works really well —

at the Vikings’ practice field, a solution of hot water and antifreeze runs through the tubes to keep the concrete gutters warm. The snow turns into water, flows through the gutters and drains into a storm sewer system. Grubesic said technology from the stadium’s roof project has helped them better serve tall commercial buildings as they continue to develop new systems, but the specific use on the stadium is rare. “It is a unique application,� he said. “There’s nothing in our line of sight right now to duplicate or replicate that.� Stadium goers may notice the unusually ice-free sidewalks as they walk around the facility to enter the building. That’s because Uponor has implemented a snow and ice melt system under the perimeter sidewalk.

“It’s common in use around the northern parts of the country,� Grubesic said. The system helps keep the path clear, and makes snow removal easier. Uponor has also handled some of the plumbing, specifically domestic water in the concession area and restroom. Grubesic said the heating technologies were not developed for the Super Bowl, but they’ve made necessary updates in preparation for the big game. “The systems are designed by mechanical engineers, manufactured to adhere to those specifications — the max use, the worst-case-scenario,� he said. For example, projections for the snow-melt systems were based on the largest snowfall in the last 100 years. The plumbing has been designed to with-

hold even under max stadium capacity use. Grubesic said both projects, the system implementations at the Vikings practice field in Eagan and at the U.S. Bank Stadium, have been about collaboration. “It’s really a partnership within the organization, but also across organizations,� he said. “From our design services to customer services to our outside and inside sales teams, there’s a lot of cross-functional collaboration to enhance customer experience.� The Minnesota Vikings will continue to enjoy their newly warmed field as they battle for the opportunity to compete in the similarly warmed stadium at the Super Bowl LII in 2018.
