The Minnesota Legislative Society recently promoted former state legislator Richard “Rick” Krueger of Lakeville as chairman, and current state Rep. Roz Peterson of Lakeville vice chairperson. Peterson, a Republican, currently represents Burnsville and Lakeville and is in her second term. She was a Lakeville Area School Board Member for eight years and is also currently a commercial Realtor. Krueger, a Democrat, served six terms as a state legislator from 1983 to 1994, was a speaker of the house and sat on many major committees. He is also the assistant swim-

ming coach for Lakeville North and South high schools. Peterson and Krueger, although they sit on opposite sides of the political spectrum, are working together to inform youths and adults about the legislative process, and how residents can get involved to make a difference as well as remain a resource

for those who are interested in becoming involved with politics. “It’s focusing on good governance and education as well,” Peterson said. The society is an organization made up of former and current legislators. In addition to its education efforts, the society supports improvements to the physical facilities of the

Minnesota State Capitol Building and promotes a strict non-partisan way of educating. Krueger and Peterson agree there are misunderstandings about what their jobs actually entail and are focusing on promoting the organization to educate more people on what the legislative process. “What we can do is to help the public better understand what legislators do. There’s a lot of misunderstanding from the general public about what goes into being a legislator,” Krueger said. Peterson points out that there are many more times where legislators are working together rather than against each other. “Sometimes it gets portrayed that we don’t work

It doesn’t matter who brought the good idea but how can we incorporate all those ideas together so we can do what is best for Minnesota,” she said. According to Krueger, another misconception is legislators are only at work when they’re in session. He points out that if one was to look at Peterson’s daily schedule, they would see the exact opposite is true. He adds that legislators are continuously working and learning about every issue and attending multiple community and committee meetings. “If you’re a representative in an area, you get See SOCIETY, 14A

The giving spirit arrived around Thanksgiving and is not over until every donation has been processed and shipped to a child in need through the Christian nonprofit Operation Christmas Child. The national organization is underway inspecting donated shoeboxes filled with school supplies, small gifts, hygiene supplies and toys for children in more than 100 countries ranging from ages 2 to 14. The Lakeville warehouse is no exception. According to Nicole Sheldon, Operation Christmas Child’s regional director for the upper Midwest, gifts donated by individuals and families from Minnesota and Wisconsin are brought to the Lakeville warehouse to be inspected, sorted and shipped. The shoeboxes are collected the third week of November and they can be filled with what each individual person wants to give to a child See SHOEBOX, 11A

Former Super Bowler turns into Andy Williams Lakeville resident to performs classic holiday songs in Burnsville by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville resident and Super Bowl winner Ben Utecht is back playing Andy Williams for the upcoming show “An Andy and Bing Christmas.” Mick Sterling plays Bing Crosby alongside Utecht and lead female vocalist Cat Fierro. They are accompanied by backup singers and a 17-piece orchestra, who help keep the 27-song performance moving. The performance is not shy about fully diving into the classic holiday songs with the Bing and Andy styled vocals. A few songs they will be performing include, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” “White Christmas” and “Christmas in Killarney.” The show debuted at The Chanhassen Fireside Theater in 2015 and has only grown from

there. There are 10 performances this year in Rochester, Fairmont, Dawson, Burnsville and Chanhassen. “We did our best to make the songs sound like the albums and I think we achieved that,” Utecht said. Utecht is a former Super Bowl winner with the Indianapolis Colts. He is a Hastings native and graduated from the University of Minnesota. He grew up with vocal lessons, enjoying musicals and playing sports. When it comes to playing football and performing on stage, there are differences and similarities. Utecht worked on adjusting after he retired from football and performing on stage is one way he is staying active. Utecht says the adrenaline rush before walking out on stage and walking out onto the field are very similar; however there is a vulnerability to performing on stage that football does not have. “Football you go into your own little world. You have your gear on and there is a disconnect but in music it’s 100 percent you,” Utecht said. “You’ve got nothing to hide behind. You have to look people right in the eyes and

memories, Utecht said. The holidays are a time for people to remember and Utecht adds that audience members have cried during the performance because of the wave of nostalgia that rushes over them. “People love to remember. They’re not crying because the music is so good or the band is so pure. They’re crying because they’re remembering. I think that’s what is so special about this concert. It’s bringing people down memory lane,” Utecht said. Utecht remembers his own childhood holidays where he would get to open one gift on Christmas Eve and then attend the candlelight service at his father’s church. “That’s just a cinematic moment. We capture that in this concert,” he said. The local show is 4 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Ames Center, and will be played with the 60-piece Dakota Valley Symphony. Ticket information is at https://www.ames-center.com/ tickets.html.

communicate with them.” “O Holy Night” is the song Utecht works his hardest at because he believes it is the most iconic song and Andy Williams was the perfect person to sing it. He adds that he feels incredible being able to step into Andy’s shoes and perform one of his most iconic versions of the song.

Lakeville women help dish up Community Meals Community meals at Grace Lutheran provide locals with nutrition and social interaction by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two local women are working to keep alive a legacy of caring for their community — during the holiday season and throughout the rest of the year. Naomi Owen of Apple Valley and Debbie Knutson of Lakeville are co-coordinators of Community Meals, an Apple Valley-based program that provides free meals to senior citizens, singleparent families, families in transition and all others in the surrounding community seeking a free, healthy meal. They got involved nearly 20 years ago, when their sons were in confirmation. As their sons volunteered to help with meals with their confirmation classes, Owen and Knutson volunteered to help out as well. When leadership positions opened up, they stepped in, and now they’ve been organizing Community Meals for almost 10 years. The tradition of Community Meals goes back 24 years, before Owen and Knutson were involved, to 1994. At a meeting at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, a woman voiced her desire to serve a weekly free meal for families who might need a little help. She worked in Dakota County with programs that supported mothers and children. She’d no-

That woman was Sue Wehrenberg, and she wanted to start Community Meals as a way to support those families who found themselves stretched thin. As Wehrenberg left the meeting, a man handed her a check and told her it was seed money to fund the program. Wehrenberg served the first meal on Jan. 31, 1994. Wehrenberg was a trained dietitian, and she worked to design menus that would be filling and nutritious. She also want-

ed to the meals to have a relaxed and fun environment, so she left the details of the dining room up to Margy Hulslander, a professional party planner. Hulslander made sure every meal was unique and special. Each week was themed and decorated accordingly. When she passed away in 2006, Owen and Knutson learned that Hulslander had a storage unit filled with party supplies and decorations, many of which were used for Community Meals. “I think [Hulslander] was really the heart and soul of Community Meals,� Owen said. Now, Owen and Knut-

son have simplified the event. Rather than theming each week, they decorate based on the season. And although they don’t plan out the meals a year in advance like Wehrenberg did, they still take time each week to carefully plan each meal. They have three cooks, schedule a year ahead of time, and they have two teams of volunteers, the “Loaves� and the “Fishes.� “Our volunteers are awesome. They really are the heart of the program,� Owen said. “When people come they know what they are supposed to do and they just jump in and do it.�

Community members, many of whom are not members of Grace Lutheran, help prepare and serve the meals each week. Confirmation students from Grace and participants of River Valley Project Explore also help out. Most of the volunteers have been helping out with Community Meals for years, but some are newcomers. Many of them help out for the same reason that people attend the meals — they are seeking community with others. “It’s really a social event,� Knutson said. People come to Community Meals for a variety of reasons. Some need a free meal, some need a meal with balanced nutrition, others need a place where they can spend time out of their house with other people. “You don’t have to be monetarily needy to come here,� Owen said. “If people are lonely — a lot of people have lost a spouse — it can be to make a nutritious meal for one.� With the holiday coming up, Owen and Knutson have planned a special meal for the end of December. The menu includes cranberry pork roast, rice, a vegetable and pie. They also plan to give each guest a gift. “We look at them as our guests,� Owen said. “We are here to serve them.� “If this is their only excursion out of the house for the day, or their only

contact with other humans, we try to make it really nice,� Knutson said. “I can’t change the world, but I can serve one person for an hour or two.� September through May, Owen and Knutson’s teams serve Community Meals on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Risen Savior Catholic Church serves a meal on the first Monday of each month. For continuity’s sake, all meals are served at Grace Lutheran. Although Community Meals is an outreach program of Grace Lutheran, it is not funded by the church. Grace Lutheran lets Community Meals use the kitchen and the dining room for free, and they don’t charge for janitorial services. Most of the funding comes from fundraisers, grants, memorials and donations. People who want to volunteer can call Grace Lutheran at 952-432-7273. For people interested in attending: Community Meals take place at Grace Lutheran Church, located at 7800 W. County Road 42, Apple Valley, on the first, second, and fourth Monday of each month.

Walk into @Bat Player Development and one of the first things visible is a quote on the wall: “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.� That motto is applicable to owner Scott Hughes, who said “blood, sweat and tears� have gone into opening the facility. On Dec. 1, Hughes, his family and friends and three Farmington council members were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Although the center had a soft opening on Nov. 2, Hughes said the official grand opening was Dec. 2. The atmosphere at the ribbon cutting was particularly celebratory because Hughes has had this dream for so long. Hughes has had a lifelong passion for sports; he is a former baseball player and was “very involved� in his community’s parks and rec program while growing up in River Falls, Wisconsin. “Since I was a little kid, I would say, I really wanted to have something like this. Back in River Falls, when

I was 15 or 16, I wrote a letter to the journal asking to get a YMCA and how a YMCA would benefit River Falls. So I just knew I wanted to do something with sports,â€? Hughes said. That sports-mindedness runs in the family: Hughes’ three children are in baseball and softball, so the idea for a sports development center seemed logical. Building the business in Farmington also made sense to Hughes. He said he and his family have lived in Farmington for 16 years, and his wife Kristi is a firstgrade teacher at Riverview Elementary. Before building @Bat, the nearest facility was located outside of Farmington in area suburbs like Burnsville. Because Hughes would have to take his children there for practice, he decided that a local development center would be beneficial for others in the community who ran into the same situation. “It probably started ‌ three years ago when I started bringing my kids to Apple Valley and Burnsville and brought them to different cages, and there was nothing available in

Farmington. And so I was wanting to create something for Farmington a while back,â€? Hughes said. He said that keeping the business local felt important, and that other cities like Rosemount and Lakeville might benefit from it as well. “I felt like this would be a good addition to keep the people here and not having people drive to Burnsville or up to other suburbs,â€? Hughes said. While the vision itself seemed to come naturally to Hughes, he did run into some problems. About a month and a half ago, he fractured his skull while hanging some netting for the batting cages, but he said the community came together to help out. “(The injury) affected me trying to get in here and help. But the community and my friends, they all stepped up, and a lot of the families that I coached ‌ came in and put things together and got things situated where they should be,â€? Hughes said. “So it just wasn’t me, it was the whole community coming together.â€? That collaborative ef-

Opinion Repulsion of sexual misbehavior finds its voice Abuse of co-workers, subordinates, associates, acquaintances, male or female is wrong. Intimidation and coercion through power and position is wrong. Gender bias and gender arrogance is wrong. Suppression of human value, accomplishment and subsequent diminished reward, especially by gender, is wrong. Unwanted sexual advances, regardless of work or social environment, are wrong. You would think that after a few thousand years we would know the rules. There is the problem. We know the rules, but we just haven’t followed the rules. While our violations may have been in any possible combinations of characters and places it has been most frequently male to female. Even in the highest echelons of business, government, church, journalism, entertainment, sport, school and other societal structures we have given a wink and a nod to behaviors that we know are wrong. We are changing. Our acknowledgement of inappropriate acts and resulting oppression is finally emerging with both strength and commitment to change. But with change comes confusion, and we would do well to proceed with caution lest our emotions damage the very structures that enable us to change. We recommend some areas of caution. Don’t allow the frequency of reporting

ECM Editorial to trivialize abuse. So who has been found out today: a senator, past president, current president, favorite journalist, movie producer, acclaimed actor, sports icon, local legislator, mayor, judge or school administrator, priest or minister? Revelations of individual actions over the past decades may, some say, provide headlines for years to come. The risk is that the accusations become so common place that we diminish our resolve to change behavior. Don’t devalue or disenfranchise our democratic process. Elections represent the will of the people by majority vote. If we negate that process with every revelation, we trivialize our system of government. We run the risk of becoming flippant with “impeachment,” “expulsion” and “demand for resignation.” All acts of aggression and all acts of misbehavior are not equal. The political temptation to overturn an election outcome without sufficient cause is always present. Removal from office must be associated with a process and not be left to reaction of the moment. Our processes for review are inadequate.

Sen. Al Franken is both an accused and admitted transgressor and now we hear calls for his resignation. Leaving the Senate may be the ultimate resolution of his behavior but let the process play out. The issues need a structure of adjudication and the accused need some access to a fair and just hearing. Sen. Franken and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have called for ethics review. We think the review is both appropriate and necessary. Congress appears to have a cumbersome and at times inhibiting process for dealing with complaints that protect the transgressors. Now is the time to correct those systems. Now is the time and opportunity to address the standards of acceptable behavior and to establish the consequences of transgression. A Franken resignation may be satisfying to some but won’t improve the process. We should remember that the review of Sen. Robert Packwood’s ethics hearing lasted nearly three years. Such a lengthy process is unacceptable. It is a symptom of the congressional ethics review problem. Move the issues along with fairness and expediency. Politics, justice and ethics are not always allied. When the accused is an elected official the ethics review has political ramifications. It is easier to condemn the mem-

ber of the other person’s party, forgetting that the next transgressor may be from our own political list of candidates and office holders. Laws, standards and process combined with eventual precedents will help reduce political influence on ethics judgments. We as citizens must curb our political reactions if we expect our elected officials to do the same. The higher good is freedom from bullying, sexual transgression and oppression. In the midst of a very confusing and irritating political climate we are presented with an opportunity to achieve a greater good: freedom from harassment, bullying and violation of physical and emotional privacy. We are now blessed with a long-needed visibility of both the transgressions and the cover-ups. These acts will vary greatly in degree, substance, place and consequence to the victims. Some may be current and others decades old. All will require fairness to the accused and the accuser and in the end (if we will it) the behaviors of transgression and cover-up will be less frequent and ever intolerable. This is an opinion of the ECM Publishers Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Lakeville mayor looks ahead to a productive 2018 by Doug Anderson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As we near the end of 2017, we certainly have a lot to be thankful for in the city of Lakeville. Once again, our city led the Minneapolis-St. Paul region in single family home construction, proving that new residents are attracted to our city for the same reasons you and I live here – premier schools, plentiful parks and trails, low taxes, festive community events and a sense of community that is second to none. As we look forward to 2018 and beyond, there is much to be excited about and that is why I am honored to continue to serve as your mayor. Let me highlight some of the key areas that we are looking forward to this next year.

Doug Anderson

a city-wide effort that helped us develop community values and strategic priorities for the next 25 years. We will be revisiting this plan in 2018 to take stock of our successes over the past five years, review what work still needs to be done, and reevaluate what our priorities need to be. I look forward to gathering input from all Lakeville residents and businesses as we go through this process. We will also be updating our Downtown Development Guide so that we continue to build upon Planning this unique and historic asset that we en2018 will be a year of planning for the joy. city of Lakeville. Every 10 years metro area cities are required to update their Transportation Transportation updates will continue Comprehensive Plans, and we have spent the better part of 2017 laying the ground- throughout 2018. In addition to our anwork for this important task. The Com- nual residential street projects, we will prehensive Plan helps identify what we see the County Road 50/Kenwood Trail want the city to look like for the next 20 corridor work continue by expanding years regarding land use, transportation, the highway to four lanes between Ipava parks and other public facilities.

In addition, 2018 will be the five-year In coordination with this project, Hamanniversary of our Envision Lakeville burg Avenue will be improved as well. strategic plan adoption. This plan was Last, we are excited that in partnership

with Dakota County we will be expanding County Road 70 to four lanes. This has been a high priority for the City Council and we are happy that the design for this project will commence in 2018 for construction in 2020. Community of choice Whether Lakeville is your home, or you choose to locate your business here, our city continues to be a community of choice. As we move into 2018 there are a number of areas that we will be enhancing in support of our quality of life. We continue to have a balance of single family, townhomes, manufactured homes, and multi-family housing products. Our diversity of residential options includes market rate, senior citizen (both assisted and independent living) and workforce housing to help meet our goal of providing a home for all ages and stages of life. In addition to the growth in our housing stock, we are also experiencing significant expansion in our commercial and industrial tax base. With this growth comes the challenge of providing a skilled and educated workforce, and the City is working closely with the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce and Lakeville Area Public Schools to develop programs that encourage lifelong learning and skills development. We have added personnel to our police force as we continue to focus not only on emergency response (police, fire and ambulance) but on education related to mental health, opioids, sex trafficking, and other topics. We have and always will continue to value our parks and

trails. Work will continue into the spring and summer on the details to develop (in partnership with the schools and athletics organizations) an indoor turf facility. We also will be finalizing the implementation plan for an expanded Antlers Park that is the culmination of rigorous public input and will be a crown jewel in our parks system. Last, we will be able to enjoy a full year’s worth of activity on the West Lake Marion Mountain Bike Trail built this past summer in partnership with the Lakeville Cycling Association. Many of our Envision Lakeville Community Values can be directly related to overall health – both as an individual and as a community. Whether you “access our multitude of natural amenities and recreational opportunities” or enjoy the benefits of “design that connects the community,” Lakeville is full of opportunities to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle. As you can see, Lakeville will be a busy place for the foreseeable future. As your mayor, I thank all of you, our residents and businesses, for your contributions to our great city. In addition, I want to encourage you to get involved. There are countless ways — like participating in a local service organization, faith community, on a city committee, or volunteering your time with an athletic association. I look forward to hearing your ideas and seeing you throughout the community. Doug Anderson is the mayor of Lakeville. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters City addresses concerns To the editor: Lakeville is blessed to have a strong City Council, mayor, and staff who work together to provide balanced solutions to help our city grow. Over the last few months, I have observed and worked with the council as they formulated the budget, and specifically looked into water and sewer fees. Water and sewer utilities are something the average citizen rarely thinks about, but take them away, and people will find how necessary they are. Similarly, we must have strong investments but balance

this need with the costs to build. I was truly impressed how all of our elected officials and staff responded when businesses raised concerns about water fee hikes. The staff worked with outside consultants to develop solid projections for needs, while council leaders balanced our need for investment, cost recovery, and a move to be debt free. I’m proud to say that the council found a way to trim the spike in rates for next year, but retain sufficient revenues to pay down debt and invest for the continuing residential development. Too often we point out

the disfunction of government, but we should also take time to highlight our institutions that are working, and helping our city thrive.

What is politically charged? To the editor: Letter writer Laura Beem (Dec. 1) seems to have missed the entire point — and obviously assumes that everything is a partisan political stunt. It is like Beem is thinking Sun Thisweek is a state Rep. Erin Maye Quade/ DFL mouthpiece to get some articles written about her in regard to the harassment issue. I guess Maye Quade is

a glutton for punishment who wants details of her personal life shouted out in megaphone style so her friends and neighbors will know about it. The letter writer admits that what happened was wrong — she just doesn’t like the publicity about our representative (as if this is somehow like a “campaign ad”?). Maye Quade has no control over how a reporter is going to treat the article. I would say it is relevant and newsworthy but outside of the fact that it was about a sitting legislator, has more to say about the workplace than politics. The letter writer believes the article should have “more balance.” What is not balanced? It is a story about what happened to Maye Quade — not a political statement. The initial confrontation was with a Democratic senator. Maye Quade responded to questions from the paper about what happened in regards to these incidents involving the House leadership, which is Republican. Maye Quade naturally would like more attention to these matters

in the future and said as much. The only thing involving Republicans (outside of the growing revelations about state Rep. Tony Cornish) was really about the “no action taken.” Not that they had good options, but a “not aware of it” from Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt would have added nothing to the story. Daudt isn’t exactly publicity-happy about the subject. What is with the “politically charged” comment? The story is just as relevant in any workplace. The only thing politically charged about this issue is the letter writer’s reaction to the article. When someone assumes a political motivation, especially in regards to how a woman was treated in the workplace, then the letter writer should be examining her own motives rather than the motives of anyone else.

A common concern with mobile browsing is the safety of the user’s internet connection. The best bet for safe web surfing is to use password protected Wi-Fi connections. Whether this is at home or on the go, using a password protected connection provides some peace of mind. When it comes to making purchases, however, safety should always come first. Public Wi-Fi means public, and your information could be compromised. Shopping safely on mobile devices means following these protocols: • Making purchases via public Wi-Fi connections carries inherent risks. It’s best not to do it. Check your smartphone settings to ensure you aren’t automatically connecting to open Wi-Fi networks. • Be careful regarding how and where you share your financial information. When shopping online from a secure, private

Wi-Fi connection, always make sure that you’re on a trustworthy website. Do your research at bbb.org. • Safety first. At the point of purchase, look for “httpsâ€? in your browser or a “lockâ€? symbol, as this shows the website is secure. • Be careful with hyperlinks. Some hyperlinks lead to websites that you do not want to visit or can infect your device with viruses or malware. • Do not save financial information on your device. Most devices have an “auto-saveâ€? or “auto-fillâ€?

feature that allows the user to save credit card information for future use. Saving financial information like this can potentially allow easier access to sensitive information. • Use the most up-todate browser. Be sure to keep your phone and your preferred web browser updated. Newer updates tend to have better security features on them. • Pay with a credit card. Credit card transactions are protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act. • Keep a record of your transaction. Keep a sepa-

Grants available for farmers tackling conservation The Minnesota Corn Growers Association is launching the third year of the Innovation Grant Program, which will make $300,000 available to farmers interested in leading a research project focused on reducing nitrate loss, improving soil health and protecting water quality. In year two of the program, 23 farmerled research projects were completed with the help of $250,000 in grant funding. Farmers have until Dec. 15 to submit a proposal at http://www.mncorn.org/research-rfps/. Proposals will undergo review with awards deter-

mined by March 1, 2018, and project funding available April 1, 2018.

Woodland/ savanna restoration project at park Three Rivers Park District, in partnership with Scott County, will start a woodland/savanna restoration project in MurphyHanrehan Park Reserve in December. The project is a restoration of 190 acres of oak woods in the south portion of the park, and is funded by a Conservation Partners Legacy Grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The first phase of the project will involve the removal of buckthorn and other brush within the project area. This will be accomplished by a contractor using forestry mowers and hand cutting. This work will take up to four months, depending on weather. Access to trails will not be affected by the work. The removal of brush will greatly increase visibility through the woods. Large mature trees will be protected. After the brush removal, the site will be allowed to grow back for one season. To control buckthorn regrowth, herbicide will be used to kill the sprouts. The project area will then undergo a prescribed burn, which will clean up the ground layer and stimulate native plant growth. The park district will also plant native woodland wildflowers and shrubs in subsequent years. This project is part of the park district’s and Scott County’s commitment to the restoration and management of the unique and special habitats found in MurphyHanrehan Park Reserve.

A map of the sevencounty metro area hangs on the wall. It’s speckled with blue dots, some of them scattered as far north as Anoka County. Those blue dots represent foster homes involved with Last Hope Inc., an animal rescue located in Farmington. As Last Hope’s map shows, many volunteers have helped foster animals throughout the organization’s 34 years of operation. But they could always use more help, according to administrator Meghan Finch. Finch and Last Hope’s financial manager, Emmett Garlock, both started working in their current roles in August 2016. Prior to becoming administrator, Finch helped foster animals for about two years. Because Last Hope has always been a no-kill animal rescue, Finch said it’s rewarding to take in animals for whom the rescue is, as the name suggests, their last hope. “(It’s rewarding) just knowing that we’re getting animals that otherwise would have been euthanized, and being able to bring them in and take care of them and see them getting adopted,� Finch said. Of course, there are some unavoidable situations where, because of extreme suffering or fatal disease, an animal has to be euthanized. But Finch said their mission is to avoid that outcome if at all possible. “You’re always going to have those animals where you think to yourself ‘Would this animal be better being put down?’ But we have to look at it like ‘Have we done everything we can to save this animal?’ We do training, we

Last Hope Inc. has helped foster or adopt thousands of animals since opening its doors in 1984. do rehab, we do meds, we do everything we can to try to save an animal from being put down,� Finch said. So far this year, Garlock estimates that the rescue has helped about 1,700 animals. Right now they have about 175 cats and about 50 dogs available to foster or adopt, and Garlock said they have helped over 42,000 animals since opening in 1984. With so many animals helped, there are bound to be some interesting stories. One in particular stands out to Finch. Recently, the rescue helped place a St. Bernard named Chewy, whom they had for over a year. “It’s a purebred St. Bernard, beautiful dog, but she hates other dogs. So it’s really hard when you have a dog like a St. Bernard because people want to show off their dog. They want to bring it to the dog park, but you can’t with Chewy, because Chewy was super aggressive towards other dogs,� Finch said. Because of that ag-

gression, Chewy stayed between Castle Rock Kennels and the home of one of Last Hope’s dog coordinators. Then another dog coordinator’s father had a mastiff that passed away, and the rescue saw the man’s farm as a possible home for Chewy. “We actually just brought Chewy down there. Finally, Chewy’s in a home; she’s happy. It was awesome, because we felt so bad because she was always secluded by herself, so she finally has a home. She’s a huge dog, she’s 110 pounds, and she has room to be on a farm with other animals, like cows and chickens,� Finch said. There are plenty of other animal success stories, Finch said, and the rescue wants that kind of work to continue. “We talked to the founder about this yesterday, and his goal is not to be the biggest rescue, it’s not to be the best rescue, it’s just to do what we do for Dakota County and the surrounding areas and save as many animals as we can. Not to be the

flashiest or the biggest, but just to be a good, solid rescue,� Finch said. Ultimately, Last Hope wants more blue dots on that map. Finch said their biggest struggle is getting new fosters, and they “hate turning away animals because we don’t have foster homes for them.� “We supply the food, we supply the kennels, we supply the litter – we supply basically everything. It’s just we need people to open up their homes,� Finch said. For those who are interested, Last Hope holds adoption events every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Apple Valley and Burnsville Petcos, Fluegel’s Farm Garden & Pet in Rosemount and the new Lakeville Petsmart.

Restaurants coming to Apple Valley Portillo’s withdrew application, Red’s Savoy Pizza and Starbucks in the works by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley residents held their breath this fall as they waited for news about construction of a highly anticipated restaurant — Portillo’s. Many were confused and disheartened when they learned the popular Chicago-style hot dog chain was not, in fact, coming to the city. The story begins over a year ago. The Ryan Real Estate Building, located on the corner of 147th and Cedar Avenue, was looking to do some remodeling. Ryan Real Estate co-applied with Launch Properties to develop a restaurant concept in the existing building. The Apple Valley Planning Commission began talking about it generally in February 2017 and started developing a sketch plan. In April, Portillo’s expressed interest in moving into the Ryan Real Estate Building, and began working with the City Planning Commission. Portillo’s applied for several permits, including a conditional use permit for a drive-thru, as they planned to construct a 32-car double-lane drive through on the site. They also requested a conditional use permit for land use, as the high volume of food sold at the restaurant

requires Portillo’s to have an external refrigerated delivery box on the site. They asked for permission to paint the building and incorporate taller structures. All of these requests, Apple Valley Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist said, were in the process of being approved. The main problem, however, was traffic. Midsummer, the applicant submitted a study to the planning commission that pointed out troublesome traffic patterns. On a daily basis, the shopping center generates about 4,000 trips daily, and Wings generates 2,500. The main road, 147th, generates about 10,000 trips daily. The Portillo’s restaurant was predicted to bring in about 3,000 trips daily, which raised concerns about flow in this high-traffic area. There was also concern that customers would drive through the Wings parking lot to avoid the intersection — a place that is already experiencing frequent back-ups. “We recognize there was a traffic issue. The entire neighborhood contributes to traffic, and Portillo’s would have been another generator,� Nordquist said. “The city rec-

ognized we need to make some permanent changes to 147th to make it work for everybody.� The city was working with the applicant to figure out a concept that would allow people to enter and exit the restaurant with the least impact on traffic. “We do have a concept to apply that will make traffic flow better for all the properties,� he said. “There was a way to make the traffic work for everybody.� But there were other problems. Parking was also a challenge. Over the summer, the applicant was negotiating with other nearby businesses, searching for places to take their employee parking off-site to offer more spaces for customers. Although there were several iterations of plans for the proposed restaurant, the October 2017 version proposed around 90 parking spaces. When as many as 35 to 45 of those spaces could be used by employees, it left limited parking for customers. “Even Portillo’s realized the site would be a little small,� Nordquist said. Still, things seemed to be moving along. Portillo’s had worked to incorporate Apple Valley into their own designs. They

planned to paint “Apple Valley Water Works� on a water tank on the top of the building. They also planned to create an art piece on their dumpster enclosure facing 147th incorporating Apple Valley’s “Plant. Grow. Prosper.� slogan. Development came to a halt on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 18, when the applicant withdrew the application. The applicant’s requests were part of the agenda for the Planning Commission meeting that same night, with recommendation for approval. As the application had been withdrawn, the committee took no further action on the recommendations at the meeting. “We were as surprised as anybody,� Nordquist said. “We were prepared to move ahead with the application when they withdrew.� He said he thinks it was a matter of timing. “To do development there are always windows of opportunity, and time is of the essence,� Nordquist said. “And we may have just fallen out of Portillo’s timeline.� Nordquist said that although Portillo’s had many requests, it was the traffic issue that slowed down the process. “It took us a long time

to get to this because it took us so long to evaluate and come up with a solution for traffic,� Nordquist said. “And even that discussion wasn’t completely done because you can identify an issue, and then you have to figure out how to pay for it.� Estimates of fixing the road came in at $1.5 million. Nordquist said that amount isn’t prohibitive, but the city needs time to process a road project of that scope. “We are interested in having them be in Apple Valley. This was their site. They picked this site and indicated they didn’t want to be anywhere else,� Nordquist said. “That sort of closes a door, but in development I’ve learned the door is never closed until they build somewhere else.� The newspaper reached out to Portillo’s for comment, but at press time had received no response. Nordquist said the Planning Commission has asked other property owners and brokers in Apple Valley to approach Portillo’s with new locations. “We remain hopeful that they will find a spot that works for them,� Nordquist said. There are, however, other businesses coming to Apple Valley in early

2018. A Red’s Savoy Pizza, a delivery and pick-up pizza parlor, will open in Southport Center, located on the Southwest corner of County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue. The restaurant will fill the vacancy in Suite 107 — the old Twins shop. Brian Biers, former vice president of both Smashburger and Buca di Beppo, decided to join a franchise deal with Red’s and plans to open two or three locations in the southern suburbs. Although he is a resident of the Lakeville and Farmington areas, he said he decided to open his first Red’s in Apple Valley because he thinks it’s a great location and he loves the community. “We want to be involved in the community,� he said. “We want to work with families, with schools, with the community.� Biers said he hopes to submit an application for permitting to the city within the next few weeks, and he’d like to start construction by the end of the month. He projects the restaurant will open around Feb. 1, 2018. A new Starbucks, off Cedar Avenue, is also in the works and will open early this year. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Journaling makes for a happy dad, husband Burnsville man asks big questions in new book by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

William Rutten insists it wasn’t marriage, children or any typical life event that brought him to the happy place he occupies today.

It was journaling, said Rutten, who began his daily ritual of self-inventory 20 years ago. “The happiness that I gained then is what probably led me later to marriage and children and the things that let me be the

kind of father, husband and family member I am today,� said Rutten, 45, of Burnsville. “I don’t think I would have arrived at this point in my evolution as a person if I had not had the journal and the process of self-examination through

journal writing.� He’s compelled to spread the news, through his blog (journalofyou. com) and his new paperback and e-book, “Journal of YOU: Uncovering the Beauty That Is Your Truth,� available through

Amazon (amazon.com/ author/williamrutten). “There’s a correlation in my life between writing a journal, getting more clarity about who I am, being grateful, and being happy,� Rutten said. “In the last 20 years since I became a daily journal writer, I’ve been the happiest guy that I know.� Rutten was raised in Minot, N.D. A journal entry about his old neighborhood includes mention of a tennis court overgrown with weeds — a foreshadowing of his adult years. Rutten spent many of them managing tennis programs and teaching the sport at Twin Cities fitness clubs. These days he’s helping to raise daughter India, 9, and son Isaiah, 7, while working part time as a clerk at their school, Southview Elementary in Apple Valley. His wife, Karla Benson Rutten, worked in the Department of Multicultural Life at Macalester College and was the school’s equity director and Title 9 coordinator before recently opening a consultancy, Benson Rutten Innovations. Before journaling, Rutten said, “I had my regular ups and downs like anybody else did going through their young adulthood and teenagehood. I really struggled with different things along the way. I had highs and lows in my emotional experience or general happiness, right up to the point where I began writing in my journal every day.� Since 2014 Rutten has written a “few hundred� blog posts, trending long — 1,500 to 2,000 words, he said. “The reaction has been

overwhelmingly positive,� Rutten said. “I wouldn’t say I have a huge following of people, but the reaction of people to the posts has been great.� He said his book is not a how-to on journaling. “It’s more something to stir the pot in the reader about the many and different but overlapping aspects of life, and how our own lives kind of intersect with that human experience,� he said. It takes the form of 56 letters to readers, with themes such as dreams, heroes, memories, inspiration, politics (Rutten’s trend progressive), spirituality, sexuality, death and relationships. Aiming to elicit the reader’s own introspection on the topics, Rutten closes his essays with questions. “I’ve had training as a life coach,� he said. “And part of the life coach’s job is to ask the powerful question.� Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Deck the halls at Heritage Village Christmas in the Village event is this weekend

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It may not look a lot like Christmas outside, but Dakota City is celebrating anyway. The organization’s annual Christmas in the Village event runs Dec. 2-10 from 1-8 p.m. at the Dakota City Heritage Village, 4008 220th St. W., Farmington. For education and volunteer coordinator Alisa Peterson, the event is a way to show how life was different back in 1900. She started volunteering with Dakota City in 2000 or 2001 and started working for the organization in 2010. Peterson said she started bringing her kids to Heritage Village when they were “real little.� When her daughters were in sixth grade, they wanted to do some service for an organization, so Peterson called up Dakota City and was told her daughters’ Girl Scout troop could help decorate for Christmas in the Village. After that, Peterson said she’s been there ever since. She said that one of her favorite things is being able to show the public, especially children, how different life was over 100 years ago. “Life was so different

Peterson said that decision has to do with the origin of Dakota City. “When Dakota City was first started, it started in the late 1970s, early 1980s, and it was started with the idea of showing what it was like when your grandparents were little. And at that time, there were still grandparents that had been little in 1900 or 1905 or 1910,� Peterson said.

Local dancers shine in ‘Nutcracker’ Rosemount and Eagan residents perform in Ballet Minnesota’s 30th anniversary production by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This year marks the 30th annual run of Ballet Minnesota’s “Nutcracker,� and two south-of-theriver dancers, Matthew Halpaus and Bailey McKenzie, will take the stage. Halpaus, 17, will play the part of “Rat King.� He lives in Rosemount and is an alum of Diamond Path Elementary and Rosemount Middle School. He’s currently finishing up his high school requirements in Apple Valley, which gives him the flexibility to attend dance classes in the mornings and long rehearsals every day after school, and rehearsals lasting between four and six hours on Saturdays and Sundays. He’s been dancing since he was 3 years old, and he joined Ballet Minnesota when he was 8. He began his dancing career at JAMM Dance Company in Rosemount, where he danced competitively. He also took a series of intensive hip-hop classes at Heartbeat Studios in Apple Valley. The first parts Halpaus ever played in productions were Peter Pan and Tarzan. Although he left the state to pursue an acting opportunity in California for a few years, he came back to Minnesota when he was 12 and has been dancing ever since. He’s participated in performances of “Nutcracker� since 2009, and last year Halpaus was the understudy for Rat King. Halpaus said he enjoys playing the antagonist in “Nutcracker� this year. “As I am warming up and getting into character, I tell myself I am the Rat King, a pure beast and that I’m going to defeat the Nutcracker,� he said. Although he usually finds himself playing

Matthew Halpus, Rosemount resident and Apple Valley student, holds the Rat King mask he’ll wear during Nutcracker performances. lighter roles, he said he enjoys stretching himself to play a dark character. Although some productions of “Nutcracker� emphasize the size of Rat King, Ballet Minnesota presents a small and agile character. Halpaus is especially excited about the sword fighting scenes. “Our rat king is really dark. As a dancer, you get the choreography, but each person can play the rat king differently,� Halpaus said. “You can turn it into whatever you want with your personality.� The dancers did their first run-through on Sunday, and Halpaus said he is confident the show is going to run smoothly again this year. “We put on a very good show. It’s a good performance for people who have seen a lot of ballet or people who have never been to a ballet before. We always put on a fantastic show,� Halpaus said. Halpaus shares the stage with Eagan resident McKenzie, 20. She’s playing several roles as part of the corps de ballet, including an adult in the living room scene, a snowflake at the end of act one and a Spanish or Lead Arabian Divertissement. “Arabian is always my favorite. The costume’s

sever quick costume changes throughout the performance. The many roles have also required her to spend a little extra time in the studio. “We don’t practice a lot of the dances during morning company times, so a lot of time I’ll come in evenings during the week to prepare for it,� she said. “It’s a lot, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s nice to know the hard work is for something important — and that it makes a difference.� Two nationally-renowned principals, Dusty Button and Rasta Thomas, will join the 30th anniversary production as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. With their incredible talent and raw energy, these two dancers bring a new flair to a holiday classic. Today, Ballet Minnesota’s production of The Classic Nutcracker draws an audience annually of between 8,000 and 10,000, and remains a holiday tradition by bringing magic and majesty to the stage with more than 130 local and national dancers. “Our loyal audience members may recall that we staged our first Nutcracker performance as a lunch hour matinee in Galtier Plaza, just two blocks from our studios in Lowertown,� said Ballet Minnesota’s Artistic Director Andrew Rist. “We had a very appreciative crowd for our cast of 20 dancers. Gratefully, we have only grown since then, both in our school, Classic Ballet Academy, and our Ballet Minnesota Company.� The performances take place on the campus of St. Catherine University, 2004 Randolph Ave., Saint Paul, December 15-17, 2017. Ticket prices range from $21 to $46 with discounts for seniors, students, active military and groups. To purchase tickets, visit www.oshag. stkate.edu, or call The O’Shaughnessy box office at 651-690-6700.

fun, the headpiece is fun, and the dance is different than the energy from the other dances,� McKenzie said. “It’s fun to do something different and not what we typically do in ballet class.� Although this is her first year as part of the company, McKenzie was a student at Classical Ballet Academy for five years. Last year she was away at school, but now she’s back and ready to work. “The Nutcracker holds a very special place in my heart. Last year was the first time I wasn’t in the Nutcracker since I was 13 when I was a student at Classical Ballet Academy. I am extremely excited to be dancing in it again,� she said. She said one of the biggest challenges has been maintaining focus and motivation during the exhausting rehearsals. She’s found a few tricks to keep her energy up, and she tries to work as hard as she possibly can during every rehearsal. “I keep a huge bag of almonds with me and start the day with a superfood smoothie,� she said. McKenzie’s multitude of roles keeps her on stage during both the first and Contact Amy Mihelich at second acts of the show, amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com. and requires her to make

News Briefs BBB: Tips on shopping with mobile devices As we move through a busy retail season, shopping on the go is becoming more and more common. According to Adobe Analytics, as of early Monday, Nov. 27, Americans had spent nearly $14 billion online since Thanksgiving Day – with more than half of those purchases coming from mobile devices. Though it’s definitely convenient, there are risks with sharing financial information in this manner. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offers simple safety tips for those who use mobile devices to shop online. “For many consumers, it’s now second nature to use smartphones and tablets the same way as we use home computers,â€? said Susan Adams Loyd, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “However, the same security recommendations that apply to home computers also apply to handheld devices, and there are other factors that need to be considered.â€? In addition to making holiday purchases on smartphones and tablets, consumers often use these devices to decide which products to buy. A common concern with mobile browsing is the safety of the user’s internet connection. The best bet for safe web surfing is to use password protected Wi-Fi connections. Whether this is at home or on the go, using a password protected connection provides some peace of mind. When it comes to making purchases, however, safety should always come first. Public Wi-Fi means public, and your information could be compromised. Shopping safely on mobile devices means following these protocols: • Making purchases via public Wi-Fi connections carries inherent risks. It’s best not to do it. Check your smartphone settings to ensure you aren’t automatically connecting to open Wi-Fi networks. • Be careful regarding how and where you share your financial information. When shopping online from a secure,

private Wi-Fi connection, always make sure that you’re on a trustworthy website. Do your research at bbb.org. • Safety first. At the point of purchase, look for “httpsâ€? in your browser or a “lockâ€? symbol, as this shows the website is secure. • Be careful with hyperlinks. Some hyperlinks lead to websites that you do not want to visit or can infect your device with viruses or malware. • Do not save financial information on your device. Most devices have an “auto-saveâ€? or “auto-fillâ€? feature that allows the user to save credit card information for future use. Saving financial information like this can potentially allow easier access to sensitive information. • Use the most up-to-date browser. Be sure to keep your phone and your preferred web browser updated. Newer updates tend to have better security features on them. • Pay with a credit card. Credit card transactions are protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act. • Keep a record of your transaction. Keep a separate folder for confirmation emails regarding any online purchases. It might also be a good idea to print out hard copies. Contact BBB at bbb.org or 651-6991111.

Since 2009, Dakota County’s levy change has been held below a 2 percent increase from the previous year, which has held the county portion of residential property taxes from experiencing volatility that some other Minnesota counties have experienced. The 2018 budget and levy hold more of the same, as the County Board is set to increase the total county levy 1.9 percent at its Dec. 12 meeting after a public hearing regarding the budget was held Nov. 28. 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. 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. Dakota County Board Chairman Mike Slavik said the county is cutting costs without cutting corners as it aims to deliver services as efficiently as possible. He said that holding the line on taxes is no small accomplishment, crediting the work of the county’s finance staff along with County Administrator Matt Smith in assembling the budget. County Finance Director Jean Erickson said there were many difficult decisions that went into assembling the budget. The total levy is separated into two components. The operating and Capital Improvement Plan portion 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 in-

crease 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, which would increase its workforce by 1.5 percent. County officials say that there will be increased demands on human services and public safety in the coming year. The state is mandating more resources for its Regional Treatment Center to address mental health needs, in addition to accommodating rising foster care placements. The county is in a good position to address these increased needs since officials say it has no debt due

to fiscal prudence. Also helping the cause is that Dakota County’s property tax base is expected to increase 7.7 percent to above $500 million in 2018. That will spread the tax burden across more properties and reduce the tax rate. The tax rate is projected to fall by 5 percent to 26.593 in 2018. That is the lowest tax rate in the metro area, followed by Washington at 29.25 percent and Scott at 35.14 percent. New home construction along with rising residential property values are driving most of the tax base growth in Dakota County, as commercial and industrial tax capacity has largely remained consistent since 2009.

According to Sheldon, there were between 8,000 to 10,000 volunteers at the Lakeville warehouse last year. The shoeboxes go to children in need around the world. The countries the boxes are shipped to are those where parents have to make the decision

to feed their children or pay for school supplies to send them off to get an education. “Sometimes a pencil and a shoebox makes all the difference and means a kid can start attending school,� Sheldon said. Sheldon emphasizes that the nonprofit sends shoeboxes to those who do not have any other means of support. There is no government, no food

shelves and no nonprofit to assist any low income families. They are expected to send about 600,000 shoeboxes out of the Lakeville warehouse. Sheldon has seen the impact a shoebox filled with the simplest of items

One volunteer talked about how a boy received a shoebox with a hand towel included and how he was so happy to have his own towel. “I love it that it’s a hands-on project where you know you’re making an impact and a difference in a kid’s life,� Sheldon said. “I love it that we get to be a part of it here and we get to see what happens when the kid gets the box.

Sports Boys hoops: Lakeville teams line up for shot at AV South Suburban welcomes 3 new head coaches by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley was the best team in South Suburban Conference boys basketball last year – not to mention the state’s Class 4A enrollment division – and this year comes into the season with the most stability. The Eagles return three starters, including senior point guard Tre Jones, who might be the state’s best player. Also back are the top two reserves from a 30-2 team. Several of their South Suburban pursuers, meanwhile, are going through changes. Lakeville North and Rosemount will have near-complete turnover in their starting lineups. Rosemount, Eagan and Lakeville South welcome new head coaches. So, who’s lining up to take a shot at Apple Valley’s title? Here are capsule previews of the teams in the Sun Thisweek coverage area:

Lakeville North Coach: John Oxton. Last season: 28-4 overall, 16-2 conference; won Class 4A, Section 1 championship; fourth in state tournament. 2017-18 so far: 1-0; defeated Rochester Century 88-37. Next game: vs. Woodbury, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: How respected are the Panthers statewide? They can lose four starters from a state tournament team and still be in the top 10 of the Class 4A rankings the next season. Tyler Wahl, a 6-foot6 junior, last year showed flashes of the type of player he could become, and now likely will be the player called on to lead the Panthers. North has numerous options in the backcourt with seniors Spencer Fossey, Chris Tomzak, Owen Blascziek, Collin Denk and Cole Andersen. Senior Tyler Lewko is the most experienced returning forward. The Panthers are expected to be a strong shooting team.

Lakeville South Coach: Joe Janquart. Last season: 15-13 overall, 12-6 conference; reached Class 4A, Section 1 semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 1-0; defeated Brainerd 65-49, defeated New Prague 67-51. Next game: vs. Rochester John Marshall, 3 p.m. Saturday, Hopkins High School. Outlook: New coaches usually expect to have to rebuild a program from the foundation, but that won’t be the case for Janquart, who was head coach at North St. Paul the last five years. He inherited a solid core group at South, including Wisconsin-Milwaukee signee Shae Mitchell, a 6-foot7 forward who averaged almost 16 points a game last season. Senior Cooper

Jackson and sophomore Joe Bachinski are point guards, and forward Beau Bailey averaged 7.5 points last season. Riley Mahlman, a 6-foot-9 freshman, appears ready for major minutes at center. The Cougars will face Rochester John Marshall and highly recruited junior forward Matthew Hurt at the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic on Saturday at Hopkins High School.

Apple Valley Coach: Zach Goring. Last season: 30-2 overall, 18-0 conference; won South Suburban Conference, Class 4A, Section 1 and state championships. 2017-18 so far: 1-0; defeated Robbinsdale Armstrong 86-53. Next game: vs. Minnehaha Academy, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: With five of last year’s top seven players returning, a fourth state championship in six years certainly seems attainable. Keeping everybody healthy and hungry will be key. Duke recruit Tre Jones will seek a third state title in his time as the Eagles’ point guard and likely will be one of the leading candidates for the Mr. Basketball award. Last season Jones averaged 23.5 points and had seven triple-doubles. Senior guard Luke Martens (10.6 points per game) has signed with Winona State, and center Spencer Rolland will play football at Harvard. Guards Nathan Macho and Ely Hendrickson were the top reserves last season; Hendrickson, despite not starting, had more than twice as many three-pointers as any other Eagles player.

Burnsville Coach: Matt Eppen. Last season: 11-17 overall, 7-11 conference; reached Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 0-2; lost to New Prague 47-37, lost to Eden Prairie 89-80. Next game: at Roseville, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: Four of the top five scorers from last season graduated, so it’s likely to take some time for the Blaze to settle on new roles on offense. Burnsville’s returnees include junior guards Julian QuirozHutchinson (10.3-point average last season) and Marcus Shepley (8.0) and senior forward Ty Miklowski (8.9). Senior center Drew Ihenacho is likely to see a lot of playing time. Guard Josh Kamara came off the bench last year as a freshman and could be in line for an expanded role this season.

Lakeville South’s Joe Janquart is one of three new head coaches in South Suburban Conference boys basketball. Janquart was head coach at North St. Paul the last five years. to Peltier, the top assistant on a Wayzata team that finished third in the 2017 state Class 4A tournament. The top returning player might be sophomore guard Jaylen James, who led the Wildcats in scoring with a 7.9-point average last year. James scored 27 in the Wildcats’ season-opening loss to Henry Sibley on Saturday. Tyler Ernst, a senior guard, added 22 in that game. Forward Cam LaChance, one of six seniors on the roster, is Eagan’s captain. LaChance averaged about six points last season.

Eastview

Coach: Paul Goetz. Last season: 13-15 overall, 9-9 conference; reached Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 1-1; defeated Stillwater 74-67, lost to Chaska 68-57. Next game: at Eden Prairie, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: Five players scored at least nine points in the season opener against Stillwater, something that could serve the Lightning well if it continues. Tate Machacek, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, is the leading returning scorer after averaging 8.6 points as a freshman. Max Bolger scored 13 points in the season opener, Machacek added 12, and Ryan Thissen and Steven Crowl had 11 each. Ben Neubert, a senior, scored nine points.

There could be more scoring balance this year if the season opener against Rochester Century is an indication. Forwards Brock Mogensen and Caden Freetly each scored 18 points in the opener for a team deep in multi-sport athletes. Jameson Shrum, a junior guard, added 17.

Three earn Life Saving Awards Trio pulled man from submerged car Oct. 4

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It could have been him this time, said a former funeral home director who was rescued from a sinking car by three bystanders. They were honored at Tuesday’s Burnsville City Council meeting for rescuing Greg Anderson, who was involved in an Oct. 4 accident that left his car in the holding pond in front of Fairview Ridges Hospital. Anderson, who said he ran the Burnsville Funeral Home on Nicollet Avenue for 20 years before it became White Funeral Home, was pulled from the car by Jacob Timmerman, Scott Mogen and Jamie

Lemcke. They were awarded the Fire Department’s Life Saving Award Tuesday. “What can you say other than ‘Thank you’? ” Anderson said, fighting tears. Awaiting a kidney transplant, Anderson said he was seeing the doctor Oct. 4 after having his kidneys removed because of cancer. A 911 call went out at 1:30 p.m. after Anderson’s car went into the pond. Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann said the car was submerged when he and Assistant Fire Chief Doug Nelson arrived a few minutes later. “These three citizens had the victim on shore as Assistant Chief

Nelson and I came up to the scene,” Jungmann said. “Without the bystanders’ work here, we know the outcome definitely would have been different. Their actions directly contributed to saving this gentleman’s life.” Anderson said he has helped out at accident scenes and was called to many as a funeral home director. “Three people came forward and helped, and there was at least 15 that I remember seeing standing around that thought it was more important to take pictures,” Anderson said.

SOCIETY, from 1A

who gets filtered out and pushed into the public’s eye. “You get the impression … it’s all about contention or battling it out with each other. There is some of that, that goes on but that is not most of what goes on around the Legislature,” Krueger said. He adds that there are “bad apples” on both sides. Peterson will have a chance to present her issues in a way that the more extreme members and non-extreme members can all understand during the next session beginning Feb. 20. Peterson is actively involved with promoting education innovation to change the approach districts take to educating students. The school system is based on an centralized top-down approach, which is also based on an industrialized model of factories, she explains. “We’re trying to promote a bottom up structure, which is based on a personalized individual learning opportunity. … Impact Academy (in the Lakeville Area School District) is one of those models,” she said. Peterson is also involved with the issue of keeping drinking water clean by possibly no longer using salt on slippery sidewalks and roads. One tablespoon of salt contaminates a lot of water but the issue is more complicated because there are financial and liability issues that need to be considered. Having the ability to clearly talk about the issues to everyone is another difficult aspect of the job, Peterson points out. “You understand your perspective because of your personal experiences but not everyone has that experience so you have to figure out how to make a compelling argument that everyone can understand and get their arms around,” she said. The difficulties of the job are issues the society is focusing on. They are working to gain more visibility to better inform people and to advocate for the legislative process. Peterson and Krueger are working together to bring speakers to schools to discuss the legislative process. They are also continuing to work to connect people and be a resource of information.

invited in. You meet with people and learn about (the issues) even though you might not be the content expert. Legislators are probably going to have a limited number of things they are involved in but they’re expected to know about everything,” he said. Krueger also said that many people are not aware what types of issues state legislators are involved in, adding that many people cannot distinguish between a local, state and federal issue. Over her two terms, Peterson has been asked about Social Security from many people. Her job is to know about the issue but explain that she is not in Congress and only works on state issues. Krueger heard a story about someone who was not happy with their neighbor’s dog going to the bathroom on their yard. They brought the issue to their governor and was told that it is a local issue. The individual then stated: “If you won’t let me talk to the governor, I’ll go to the president.’ ” The confusion between who is responsible for what issue is what the society is hoping to fix by continuing to promote education as well as clear up other misunderstandings, and to showcase the work legislators are doing and the process it takes to accomplish their goals. Peterson and Krueger say the job is much more difficult than people believe it to be. Krueger explains that every decision is either red or green. There is no yellow option. “Can you imagine going through your whole day and everything being green or red on every major decision?” Krueger asks. Peterson adds that is a reason why their focus is having an open dialogue and having the ability to talk the issues out. In states where there is oneparty control, there is plenty of discussion and difference of opinion even though most are from the same party. “Just because we are from the same party it does not necessarily mean we agree on the approach to get there,” she said. Those differences between same-party legislators and opposite-party legislators are what Peterson and Krueger believe people focus the most on. They agree there are Contact Kayla Culver at extremists and that is kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com.

News Briefs Library offers tools to create, share e-books Dakota County Library now offers a new suite of resources — collectively called MN Writes MN Reads — to help local authors connect with local readers and readers across the country. MN Writes MN Reads consists of three resources that allow authors and readers to create, share and read ebooks. These resources — Pressbooks, SELF-e, and Biblioboard — are free to members of the community via the Dakota County Library website. Pressbooks enables writers to convert their manuscripts into a variety of e-book formats. After converting their book, authors can share and distribute it however they choose. One option is SELF-e. Titles submitted to SELF-e undergo a basic screening process and then are added to the statewide MN Writes MN Reads collection. In addition, titles submitted are screened and selected by staff at Library Journal. A limited number of selected titles are made available to readers across the country. Authors retain all rights to books submitted to SELF-e. Readers can access the books through BiblioBoard. This easyto-use platform features work from a wide variety of genres, including history, young adult novels

and romance. The number of checkouts is unlimited, meaning that readers never have to wait for a book to be available. In addition, there are no return periods or late fees. Funding for SELF-e is provided in part from private academic libraries in Minnesota. Residents in the seven-county metro now have access to SELF-e through the Metropolitan Library Services Agency. Eventually that access will be expanded across the state. To access the tools, visit www.dakotacounty.us/library, search “MN Writes MN Reads.”

Thisweekend African penguin chick hatches at the zoo Quilt exhibit opens An African penguin chick hatched on Nov. 21 at the Minnesota Zoo, as it is currently being cared for behind the scenes by its parents, “Burner” and “Snickers.” The newly hatched chick weighed in at 50.5 grams during its initial check-up and is doing well, the zoo reports. “We are pleased to announce another successful breeding season with our African penguins,” says Jamie Toste, the zoo’s curator of birds. “While the population of African penguins in North American zoos and aquariums is doing well, their wild counterparts in South Africa are facing the threat of extinction. Hatching chicks here at the Minnesota Zoo gives us the opportunity to share their story.” The sex of the new chick is still undetermined and it will likely remain behind the scenes for a while, as it receives constant care from its parents and zookeepers. Breeding season for African penguins typically occurs from October to March at the Minnesota Zoo, when the nest boxes are opened up for the flock in their habitat. Most penguin pairs successfully lay one to two eggs during this time. The zoo has successfully hatched 21 African penguin chicks since opening the 3M Penguins of the African Coast habitat in 2011. Along with successfully hatching new African penguin chicks on-site, the zoo also consistently supports critical fieldwork occurring in South Africa to save endangered African

The exhibit can be viewed during regular hours at the arts center, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, evening hours vary based on building activities. The Lakeville Area Arts Center is located at 20965 Holyoke Ave. For additional information, call 952-985-4640.
