Lakeville police promise frank talk at adult-only event by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An adults-only community forum featuring Lakeville police officers will concentrate on serious teen issues affecting the community. Lakeville School Resource officers Thor Howe and Andy Hentges will frankly discuss bullying, desensitization to violence and sex, chemi-

cal issues, and current laws from 6-8 p.m. April 17 in the McGuire Middle School cafeteria. Howe said they plan to invite audience questions and promise to “give very unfiltered, direct answers.� “Let’s not beat around the bush,� Howe said. “Let’s talk real. Let’s have no kids be there and let’s just talk about things we’re dealing with.� Howe said school resource officers routinely encounter issues related to social media, including sexting, plans for selfharm, cyberbullying and

illegal drug sales. “The primary way of communicating for kids now is digital,� Howe said. The idea for the event came after McGuire PTO co-chairs Amy Willingham and Ryan Riemer met with Police Chief Jeff Long, Howe and Hentges to share their concerns about what teenagers now face and learn more about what parents need to know. “The big thing is how kids are using phones and the internet,� Willingham said. “They thought that was the biggest thing,

Two years after Lakeville paid pay $675,000 for six acres of land necessary for expanding Antler’s Park, the city has hired a consultant for $18,000 to develop a master plan for the park. The plan calls for the removal of two homes that were located on the acquired property, formerly owned by longtime Lakeville resident George Warweg. Consultant WSB & Associates will develop the master plan, which Parks and Recreation Director John Hennen estimated would take six to eight months to complete. Hennen said at a March 27 City Council work session the process will include public input through meetings and online activities. City Council members expressed excitement about plans to expand the historic park, and Lakeville Mayor Doug Anderson emphasized the importance of community outreach. “It’s really important to me that we get people involved,� Anderson said. “And offer various opportunities hear from a variety of individuals and associations.�

Lakeville’s nine-year tradition, One Book, One Lakeville, will explore the Hmong people and culture with its latest book choice: “The Song Poet: A Memoir of My Father� by Kao Kalia Yang. One Book, One Lakeville is a free opportunity for community members to read and discuss the same book and attend events that explore more about its topic, then meet the author in a final event April 29 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. Kao Kalia Yang’s book is described as “a powerful memoir of a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children’s future in America,� and recounts

since the center opened in 2009 — its “anchor tenant� or “resident company,� said Andrew Troth, the company’s executive producer. The dispute over the play title is one of multiple reasons Chameleon and center management were unable to agree on a slate and schedule of shows next season, Troth said. The company’s board acted in February to end the relationship. “We have seen our job at Chameleon as choosing which titles we want to do and then deciding how they fit into the slots that are available,� he said. “Chameleon repeated that process as usual with the expectation that we would present something that the Ames Center would sign off on. That simply turned out not to be the case this time.� While scheduling differences between the two sides contributed to the dissolution, management does object to “mulatto� and asked Chameleon to remove it from the title, Ames Center Executive Director Brian Luther said. “Mulatto� is a derogatory term considered offensive, said Luther, who manages the center for the city-contracted VenuWorks company. Luther said he consulted with city staff. “The intent was not to censor or disallow them from doing the production,� he said. “I have no concern with the content of it. It instead just comes down to one word in the title. We have to be aware of that because that word in the title is going to be on our marquee and our publications and can be deemed offensive by people who are going to see that.� In an open letter on Facebook, the playwright acknowledged that “mulatto� — a label for some-

After nine seasons and nearly 50 productions at Burnsville’s Ames Center, an eclectic south metro theater company is ending its relationship with the venue after its current season. In announcing the separation last week, Chameleon Theatre Circle cited Ames Center management’s decision to “disallow� a play with the word “mulatto� in the title. The play — “Caucasian-Aggressive Pandas and Other Mulatto Tales� by mixed-race actor, director and playwright Duck Washington — is one of six shows Chameleon proposed for its 2017-18 season in the center’s 150-seat black box theater. Chameleon has been a staple in the black box

one with a white and a black parent — “is deemed by many to be a derogatory word as its origins stem from a Spanish or Portugese word for mule, which is the cross between a horse and a donkey.� “This show does not ignore the word’s derogatory origins and in fact addresses them in the first few minutes of the show,� wrote Washington, of Minneapolis. “In a large way discussing those origins is a lot of what the show is about. As a person who is both black and white, it is a word I still hear even if it isn’t quite as present in modern vernacular.� Chameleon recruited him to mount the “humorous but heartfelt� play, in which he stars, as part of its 2017-18 season, Washington wrote. Productions at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater in Minneapolis in 2015 and at last summer’s Minnesota Fringe Festival were successful critically and financially, he wrote. “What I can tell you with certainty is I think it’s a great show, and I really wanted Chameleon to be able to produce it,� Troth said. “I don’t join in any way discomfort over the use of the word in the title.� Growing demand for the black box — including from dance-competition promoters who have begun migrating from the venue’s 1,000-seat main theater — made it difficult for management and Chameleon to agree on the 2017-18 schedule, Luther said. “We have a high demand from our dancecompetition promoters, who are essentially almost outgrowing the facility and need space and are willing to rent that space from us,� Luther said. He also suggested that Chameleon could sell more tickets by presenting more plays with broad

appeal. The center’s recent seasonal agreements with the 19-year-old company stipulate that half the shows have recognizable titles with strong sales potential, Luther said. “I want the strong sales for any user of the space,� he said. Losing Chameleon won’t have a significant impact on the center’s revenue, Luther said. In the 2015-16 season, the company paid management about $35,000 in rent and reimbursement for staff expenses, according to Jim Vogel, Chameleon’s treasurer. About half of that is expenses the center probably won’t incur anymore, he said. What’s next for Chameleon? “We’re not disbanding,� Troth said. “I’m looking for a reduced number of shows (in 2017-18) at what will probably be two or three different venues, not in Burnsville. There’s really nowhere else to go in Burnsville.� Before coming to the Ames Center, Chameleon had a vagabond existence in venues ranging from the basement of the old Benchwarmer Bob’s on Burnsville Parkway to churches, schools and the Lakeville Area Arts Center. “Chameleon was borne out of a desire to do theater in the suburbs that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find in the suburbs,� Troth said. “We have carried through on those two components of our identity ever since — that we exist in the south metro and we do the shows we choose to do.� The company has three left in its current season: “In the Wings� March 31 through April 23, “Arcadia� June 2-11 and “Mom! The Musical� May 11-14. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

A million reasons in the county to volunteer Dakota County saved $900,000 last year in donation of time by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A few hundred local residents attended the first Dakota County Volunteer Resource Fair on Monday at the Western Service Center in Apple Valley. The fair aimed to match volunteers with organizations that need help with a variety of tasks and the financial benefits of getting it done for free. Dakota County volunteer coordinator Garrett Zaffke organized the fair, which included 14 different groups, including Dakota County and the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville and Rosemount. Government units are increasingly seeing the benefits of volunteerism. Zaffke’s position was created two years ago, and it has led to a 50 percent increase in volunteerism across the county’s 12 departments in 2016 at an estimated savings of $900,000. He said that’s a number

that catches a lot of people’s attention, including volunteers, public officials and taxpayers. “Volunteerism helps us do more without having to charge taxpayers more,� Zaffke said. “Dakota County is frugal with taxpayers dollars. Volunteerism is a great option to get the work done we have to get done.� He said government units started making a more concerted effort to recruit and deploy volunteers in their organizations after the Great Recession that started in 2008. The budget belt-tightening forced governments to think about how they could do more with less. About the time the recession hit, Dakota County shed several jobs through retirement or attrition. Since that time, each department within the county was in charge of recruiting volunteers. Zaffke said his position aims to make volunteerism in Dakota County more effective and efficient. That’s about creating a positive experience for both the volunteer and the county. If the volunteer has a good experience and feels the work they did had a

positive impact, then they will be back for more, according to Zaffke, and they will invite their friends and neighbors to do the same. He says volunteerism grows in this word-ofmouth way, but the fair was an effort to raise awareness of the volunteer opportunities in the community, and specifically Dakota County, to people who might not have been reached through networking. Among the volunteer areas in the county are removing the invasive buckthorn tree species from parkland, assisting parole officers, water stewardship and reshelving books at branch libraries. Zaffke said he was pleased with the turnout for the fair, which lasted two hours and was focused on involving organizations that have volunteer opportunities in Apple Valley or very close to it. In addition to Apple Valley and Rosemount, the cities of West St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights were also represented at the fair. Following the same development arc as the county, the four cities created a joint volunteer coordinator position two years ago.

The first Dakota County Volunteer Fair was held on Monday at the Dakota County Western Service Center in Apple Valley. The two-hour event drew about 200 people, according to organizers. Zaffke said attendees he spoke to enjoyed the mix of volunteer opportunities for all ages. Among the other organizations that were at the fair were the American Red Cross, Kids ’n Kinship, Burnsville Community Television, MOMS, DARTS, Neighbors Inc., Goodwill-Easter Seals and Allina Health. He said if there is any trend in volunteerism, it is that people are looking for more one-time opportunities of a few hours rather

than long-term commitments. The reasons for volunteering are as individual as the person involved, but common reasons are the intrinsic value of giving back to the community, developing a skill, building a resume or meeting new people. While Dakota County government likes the financial benefit of volunteers, Zaffke said showing people how government works and what it does provides another benefit.

“This brings the community on board with what we are doing,� Zaffke said. He said another volunteer fair likely will be held in the fall. Those who don’t want to wait that long can contact Zaffke at 651-438-4635 or garrett.zaffke@co.dakota. mn.us, or visit the websites of any of the cities or other organizations involved in the fair.

Is there $85 million for 35W/I494 interchange? Bill aims to fund design work for junction of I-35W and I-494 by Mike Hanks SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s a story that is becoming well known, yet nobody knows the ending. The interchange of interstates 35W and 494 is old and outdated. It’s arguably famous for its congestion. The need for a major overhaul of the interchange has long been discussed and unlikely to be disputed. But when and how improvements to the interchange happen remain a source of debate. Is the end in sight? That’s an $85 million question. It is estimated that $85 million could fund the first phase of an interchange redesign, adding a ramp for northbound I-35W traffic looking to travel west on I-494. It’s the movement that probably causes the most congestion under the current configuration, according to Karl Keel, Bloomington’s public works director. State Reps. Paul Rosenthal, DFL-Edina, and Linda Slocum, DFLRichfield, are among the authors of a bill that would appropriate $85 million in fiscal year 2018 for that first phase of an interchange redesign. The bill was referred to the House Transportation

Finance Committee last week. “It’s important for us as a Legislature to work together on a balanced, bipartisan bill that includes long-term sustainability and compromise to fund improvement projects statewide, including the 494 and 35W interchange,� Rosenthal said last week in announcing the bill. Support from Bloomington’s House and Senate representatives may be strong, but the interchange is one of many projects that state leaders need to address, and finance, in the years to come. That complicated puzzle was laid out recently as area business and community leaders gathered during a Bloomington Chamber of Commerce public affairs forum to review the state’s transportation challenges and how the interchange fits in. The interchange has a significant impact on Dakota County commuters who use I-35W to travel to Minneapolis and other Hennepin County suburbs to go to work each day. A county survey found that 65 percent of Dakota County adults commute to work in Hennepin or Ramsey counties each day.

Time for change The interchange was built in 1959, according to Keel. It was projected to carry 200,000 vehicles per day. The configuration is

almost exactly the same today, and it now carries about 500,000 vehicles per day. There are approximately six hours of congestion at the interchange on a typical day, and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute has deemed it the 17th worst in the nation, Keel said. Despite congestion slowing traffic through the interchange, it is the seventh worst of 26 interchanges in the metro area for crashes, he noted. The I-494 corridor accounts for approximately 21 percent of the jobs in the metro area, and many of those employees are dependent upon the interchange for access to those jobs, he explained. An environmental impact statement for a redesign of the interchange was completed in 2001. The project was envisioned as a three-level solution for funneling traffic through the interchange. In today’s dollars, it would cost an estimated $400 million, according to Keel. The cost isn’t the only thing that made the solution prohibitive. A new plan allows for the project to be implemented in phases, something that couldn’t have been done using the $400 million solution. “That project had to be constructed all as one large project,� Keel noted, and it would have had a large right of way impact. A vision for the intersection in 2014 provided

a multi-phase solution, at an estimated cost of $255 million. It would minimize the footprint of the interchange, according to Keel. The solution is not without its disadvantages, as some of the turns on the off ramps would be sharp, warranting speed reductions to 35 mph for some of the ramps and bridges, he said.

Big picture It’s easy to make a case for updating an interchange that remains the same after nearly six decades. But the interchange is one of many needs throughout the state. Upkeep of the state’s transportation system will result in greater financial demands, according to Scott McBride, the metro district engineer for the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The statewide system is under a lot of stress. Freight traffic, by both rail and roadway, is projected to increase during the next several years. By 2025, it is estimated 850 bridges will need significant work. “We have made a significant investment in bridges in the last 10 years, and yet we still see a huge bridge bubble coming on the system,� McBride said. More than 50 per-

cent of the state highway pavement is more than 50 years old, and 20 percent has less than three years of useful life left, he noted, adding that 40 percent of MnDOT’s bridges are more than 40 years old. “Our assets are aging,� he said. With more than 600 state road and bridge projects that are unfunded, the Bloomington interchange is on a lengthy MnDOT to-do list, he explained. The complexities of financing and maintaining the state’s assets is further complicated by their funding. In the metro area, the average spending prior to 2008 was about $250 million per year. Additional funding starting in 2008 has increased metro spending, allowing for major projects during the past decade, such as bridge replacements. But that funding is going to decrease starting next year, barring changes at the Legislature. There’s $400 million available for 2017 projects, but that figure could be reduced to $300 million next year. By 2020, the funding could be back to pre-2008 levels, McBride explained. McBride noted how a perfect storm of need is driving the funding gap. As the assets age and funding is set to decrease,

revenue generation is flat. Gas taxes collected at the pump are flat as a result of an increase in the fuel efficiency of vehicles, he said. Despite talk of new federal funding for transportation, McBride is not optimistic, and noted that the last federal gas tax increase was in the early 1990s. With no new revenue, Minnesota will have a significant increase in state highway miles that end up in poor condition during the next 10 years, according to McBride. “It’s cheaper to maintain assets in good condition than it is to maintain assets in poor condition. That’s what we’re doing today,� he said. “It is costing us more today than it should to maintain the assets that we have.� Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed an increase in transportation spending through increases in the gas tax, license tab fees and bonding, McBride noted. Increased funding would help provide funding for many of the state’s transportation needs, including the Bloomington interchange, he said. Not only would increased funding provide more long-term investment, it would provide See I-35, 9A

4A April 7, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

Opinion Obstructing legislator pay raise subverts will of voters Minnesotans who voted in November to empower an independent commission to set state legislators’ salaries may have been surprised to learn that the raw politics they’d hoped to transcend never went away. Last month, when the newly appointed Legislative Salary Council approved a 45 percent salary increase for the state’s 201 legislators, the leader of the Minnesota House pounced. In a March 16 letter, Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, instructed the House controller not to fund the pay increases, scheduled by law to take effect July 1. Depending on his appetite for brinkmanship over the issue, Daudt risks plunging Minnesota into a state constitutional crisis. He has already, in our opinion, subverted the will of the voters. In a landslide, 76 percent of them voted in November for a constitutional amendment creating the Legislative Salary Council, whose statutory duty is to “prescribe” legislative salaries by March 31 of odd-numbered years. The amendment struck from the Minnesota Constitution legislators’ power to set their own salaries. A 45 percent increase in base salary, from $31,140 to $45,000, is a whopper, all right — eye-catching bait for politi-

ECM Editorial cal exploitation. But $45,000 is nearly where salaries would stand today if lawmakers had granted themselves cost-ofliving increases since 1999, the last time they raised their pay. Instead, legislators have been paranoid to touch their salaries lest election opponents label them greedy. Paltry pay for what is a very substantial job commitment has narrowed the field of qualified candidates, which favors retirees, people with otherwise significant financial means and public union employees guaranteed by law the time to serve. Daudt argues that the pay increase, which would cost $2.8 million annually for House members and senators, is inappropriate because other Minnesotans aren’t so fortunate in their jobs. But Minnesota’s median household income has risen by 46 percent since 1999, the council says, and if legislators’ salaries had matched that performance, they would stand at $45,500. The council approved the 45 percent raise on a 13-1 vote which followed several pay raise recommendations over the years from an advisory commission on state government compensation.

“The council understands that we are setting the salary not just for those presently serving in the Legislature, but also for those who may desire to serve in the future,” said the bipartisan group, half of whose 16 members were appointed by DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and half by Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea. “Unless Minnesota’s Legislature has a competitive salary level, we will not be able to attract and retain legislators with the best skills and experience to represent us.” The pay council also took the useful step of recommending that the House and Senate terminate the expense claims known as per diems and reimburse legislators only for daily living expenses such as meals and travel costs. We support that recommendation. Per diems are capped at $66 per day in the House and $86 in the Senate. Per diems average $5,100 to $7,900 for House members and $7,600 to $12,100 for Senate members, according to the council. But some even higher claims point to, if not abuse, wildly different interpretations of legitimate expense claims. In 2015, the largest per diem payment was $13,398 in the House and $16,426 in the Senate, the council reports. (Per diems are lower overall in even-num-

bered years, which have shorter legislative sessions.) Per diems are paid on top of reimbursement for travel costs, and for lodging expenses available to lawmakers living more than 50 miles from the Capitol. Under federal tax law, those legislators are allowed to deduct per diem payments from their incomes. The pay council has no power over per diems under the constitutional amendment. In fact, its power over legislative salaries may well have to be clarified in court. Daudt and others who oppose the raise in the House point to Article 11, Section 1 of the Minnesota Constitution, which solely empowers the Legislature to appropriate funds — for legislative salary increases or anything else. But the constitution also, in Article 1, Section 11, prohibits “any law impairing the obligation of contracts.” To his credit, Daudt’s counterpart in the Senate, Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-Nisswa, hasn’t chosen to obstruct. He views the Legislative Salary Council’s action as constitutionally binding. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

Our roles in navigating community fear and uncertainty by Jeff Mortenson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Imagine not knowing how you’re going to provide the evening meal for your children when they arrive home from school. Imagine arriving home 15 minutes late and looking at yourself in the car’s rearview mirror before you enter your home…recalling the facial bruises your spouse brutally inflicted on you the last time you were late. Imagine working through your finances and realizing that the health problems and medical bills will make it impossible for you to pay for your rent within the next two months. Supporting people through fearful and uncertain times is something 360 Communities has done since its inception. We have over 45 years of experience meeting people during some of the most difficult and chaotic times in their lives. 360 Communities is experiencing an increase of fear and uncertainty among the clients we serve as well as among the volunteers and staff members who carry out our mission. This is a result of the many recent changes in Washington,

Guest Columnist

Jeff Mortenson D.C., and the media attention surrounding issues of immigration. People are uncertain about the facts, their legal rights, who they can trust, and where they can go for support. There is real fear in our community. 360 Communities wants you to know that we are here, doing the work we have always done to provide hope and support to people in need. Barriers can take many forms in our community, and in our work, 360 Communities takes great strength in the clarity of our mission and the power of an engaged community. 360 Communities mission starts with, “In the spirit of caring for our neighbors …” We exist to care for our neighbors. Our neighbors are anyone in the community seeking safety, success in school, and stability.

You will discover that we approach our work with openness, regardless of circumstance, with a genuine care for people and their families. Connect with 360 Communities if you need to utilize our services or if you would like to give back to the community. Throughout our history, we have studied the barriers facing those who lack access or are from underserved groups, and made changes to how we serve in order to make greater impacts. We have done this for individuals facing domestic violence, sexual violence, poverty, homelessness, academic struggles, and inadequate child development. Our community is increasingly diverse and continues to change. We recognize that change can be difficult for people. But demographic shifts are nothing new to 360 Communities. In fact, we plan for them and seek opportunities in them. We lean into the change and evolve. That means embracing and working to understand people, ideas, cultures, languages, and more that are new to us. Together we all have gifts to share that collectively make the community stronger. The demographic changes that we are experi-

encing represents, for us, positive growth and points to a thriving community. You play a critical role in strengthening the community through your response, and your relationship to, this journey of the ever changing community landscape. It can be personally uncomfortable at times because it involves working alongside people with very different experiences. When you lean into that relationship and discomfort with openness, you will discover that we have an exceptional community and that people of all backgrounds desire a strong community with more opportunities for their children. 360 Communities is one way to discover your role alongside others who are making a positive difference and building a brighter future. Please visit us at 360Communities.org and consider donating or volunteering today.

Letters Answering questions To the editor: We need to be able to trust our representatives in St. Paul, even if we do not always agree with their positions. This year, perhaps more than most, constituents are turning out to hear from their elected representatives. On March 11, state Sen. Greg Clausen and Rep. Anna Wills were part of a joint town hall meeting in Apple Valley. The auditorium was filled. The legislators responded to several written questions from their constituents, some with more substance

and thought than others. The time passed quickly and many questions went unanswered. However, our representatives offered to gather up the remaining questions and promised to prepare written replies. I was pleased to see Clausen reiterate his promise in his legislative update on March 14, saying: “I believe you all deserve to hear my answers to those (unaddressed questions) as well.” On Thursday, March 23, Clausen made good on his promise and sent out a multi-page document that offered very specific and thoughtful responses. My sincere thanks to Senator

Clausen. Sadly, Wills’ promise was hollow. She wrote in her March 17 legislative update: “Thank you to everyone who came out to the joint town hall meeting last Saturday ... . We had an amazing turnout of over 200 people, which shows that there is a great interest among the public in many important issues and what’s happening in our local government.

It is not acceptable to permit Wills to simply dismiss this obligation as too demanding. We must hold her accountable. MARYKAY CARTER Rosemount

Working for all members To the editor: It is again my privilege to endorse Margaret Schreiner for re-election to our Dakota Electric Association Board of Directors. Margaret has now served the members of DEA for 30 years as a director and for 10 of those years as board chair. For the past five years she has also served as a DEA representative on the crucial Great River Energy board and has chaired two different GRE committees. GRE is our wholesale power supplier and Margaret has played a key role in achieving some of the lowest wholesale power costs in our region while also reducing GRE coal assets. I could continue at some length about her host of accomplishments recognized both locally and even nationally but in the interest of brevity I will forego doing so in favor of relating my own in-

teractions with her for the several years when I served on one of the DEA subsidiary boards. Succinctly stated she is a rare asset to the members of Dakota Electric Association. She is always one of the most knowledgeable and most thoroughly prepared persons in any meeting room. She asks the most insightful questions and analyzes answers intently. For GRE meetings in Maple Grove she often travels there the evening prior so she can interact and network with the rural delegates to understand their concerns and build effective consensus on critical issues. Her relationships not only in Maple Grove but also at the State Capitol in St. Paul are invaluable to the interests of DEA and its membership. DEA members need to continue to have Margaret working for all of us. RUSS DEFAUW Apple Valley

Sheriff’s academy was top notch To the editor: I recently graduated from the Dakota County Sheriff’s Citizens Academy. There are no words to express what an incredible journey these past six weeks were by merely touching the surface of being a deputy. I would like to thank Capt. Jim Rogers for leading the class. There truly is no way to adequately thank him for the what he did for the class. He kept us entertained with his sense of humor, he treated each and every one of us with

amazing respect, and the time he committed to this program was clearly evident in the completeness and excellent quality of the classes. For those who are not familiar with this citizenbased experience, it is graciously and expertly given by our wonderful sheriff’s department and covers many aspects of what the sheriff’s department is all about. As a citizen, you are taught the ins and outs of the sheriff’s department from beginning to end. Many of the classes are hands-on and interactive. You will have the opportunity to experience simulated scenarios on deadly force use at Gander Mountain, meet SWAT team members while learning about their duties, visit the Dakota Communications Center, go on a tour with an overview of the Dakota County Jail, presentation by County Attorney James Backstrom while learning about his staff duties, see a K-9 demonstration, presentation on crime scene processing and internet crimes. You will learn all aspects of life with the Sheriff’s Department. A hearty “thank you” to all the men and women, both deputies and staff who volunteered their time to this program. All of them were so intent on the class learning, enjoying and understanding the function of the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office.

that coal has been priced out of the energy market. Natural gas has won the competition of the market place — and renewable energy is rapidly gaining its own market share.

Renewable energy leader

To the editor: The current counter arguments about climate change are less about facts, and more about rigid political ideology. The climate change deniers would have you believe that a 97 percent consensus on science facts is nothing more than a liberal bias of opinion. Remember, this is about facts. Scientific study. Research. Data. Painstaking analysis. But the deniers, and the majority are conservative, refuse to accept the scientific community’s studies because they are afraid that in the short term our economy will be stunted in its growth. But that is not true. When our president says we are going to have “clean coal, really clean coal,� he does not seem to even realize

To the editor: I am so pleased state Rep. Erin Maye Quade chief authored the update to the Minnesota Renewable Energy Standard. Her active support for more clean energy in Minnesota by 2030 helps move our state into the future. And I see indications of the future all around my southeast corner of Apple Valley — new homes, new school, new businesses, new grocery store. Clean energy will both sustain and boost that growth. A 50 percent Renewable Energy Standard sends a clear market signal. It tells investors that Minnesota is open for business.

high school students who participate in high school activities and excel in the classroom,� says Dave Stead, executive director of the League. “Close to 14,000 students, from every corner of the state, have been recognized through this award program over the past 29 years.� Jesse Simon, AAA Minneapolis senior manager of marketing and communications said: “AAA Minneapolis is proud to work with the Minnesota State High School League. Supporting exemplary stu-

The winners are: Anja Maijala of Cloquet High School, Kiera Olson of Fillmore Central High School, Carter Peterson of Underwood High School and Eric Wilson of Benilde-St. Margaret’s.

Business Summit Orthopedics vies for ‘medical tourism’

Calendar

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When a new Summit Orthopedics facility opened in Eagan last month, part of the reason why the company chose the location was to take advantage of a growing medical tourism market, according to Summit CEO Adam Berry. Summit Orthopedics opened a 65,000-squarefoot complex for musculoskeletal conditions care at 2620 Eagan Woods Drive, near the intersection of I-494 and Pilot Knob Road. Planes fly overhead all the time, and the company is attempting to attract residents of other states to come to Minnesota to receive medical care at a lower cost. “We found a high number of patients from across the U.S. come to Minnesota for their services,� Berry said. “We’re hoping to capture some of that with this location.� The new facility is almost exactly the same as its center in Vadnais Heights where Berry said the company found about 8-10 percent of patients come from out of state. “When we were looking for a new location, it was important to be near the airport,� Berry said. “It’s got good visibility and it’s

A new Summit Orthopedics complex opened in Eagan last month. right off the interstate. We didn’t want to have people coming here from Alaska and driving all over the Twin Cities.� The Eagan location offers orthopedic treatment that includes physician consultations, imaging, therapy, bracing, orthotics and a seven-day-a-week walk-in clinic. Berry said people are coming to Minnesota because the state can offer services cheaper because Summit Orthopedics doesn’t have the constraints of a full hospital and it stays up-to-date on the latest procedures. “We had someone

come in from Alaska who needed a full knee replacement surgery,� Berry said. “In Alaska, that’s $50,000$60,000. We can do it in the low $20,000s. Traditionally that’s done in a hospital with a higher cost structure. They have these big facilities and take in all types of patients.� Summit Orthopedics handles issues as small as sprained ankles and as extensive as hip replacements. The site offers care for ankles, feet, backs, necks, spines, elbows, hands, wrists, hips, knees and shoulders. Berry also said the operations are often outpa-

tient procedures, which save on costs. The site also offers procedures “only 12 or so other places offer,� Berry said. The procedures include Tenex, a total joint replacement and spine surgery. Summit, of course, is also open to Twin Cities residents. With the opening of this new full-service facility, Summit’s existing Eagan clinic and therapy locations have closed and all services have transferred to the new facility.

Public officials and the Dominium development team took part in a groundbreaking ceremony last week for Legends of Apple Valley, a senior-apartment complex slated for completion in spring 2018.

Breaking ground for Apple Valley senior housing project Ceremony held March 31 for Legends of Apple Valley by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Plans for a senior apartment complex at Cedar Avenue and 140th Street in Apple Valley are moving forward, with the project’s developer holding a groundbreaking ceremony at the site March 31. Minneapolis-based developer Dominium closed on the property in December, and construction is scheduled for completion in spring 2018. Total cost of the project is estimated at $38 million. Legends of Apple Val-

ley will be a four-story, 163-unit apartment building on the southwest corner of Cedar and 140th, at 14050 Granite Drive. The land was previously a vacant lot, a remnant of a large agricultural site. The apartments are being marketed as “affordable senior housing,� with Dominium working with the Dakota County Community Development Agency in applying for tax credits, tax-increment financing and Home Fund grant dollars. One-, two- and threebedroom apartments will be available, with monthly rentals ranging from $855 to $1,227, according to city officials. Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland touted the “affordable

housing� aspect of the project at last week’s groundbreaking, which was attended by city and county officials along with the development team from Dominium. “That will allow our seniors in Apple Valley to remain in Apple Valley — I’m really proud of that,� Hamann-Roland said. Legends of Apple Valley will be the third senior apartment complex near the Cedar Avenue and 140th Street intersection. Also nearby are Timbers at Apple Valley, which offers market-rate apartments, and Summerhill Cooperative, a nonprofit cooperative for seniors. Plans submitted to the city for Legends of Apple Valley show an exterior of brick, stone, Hardie board

Peterson wants state to pick up landfill cost Bill would indemnify parties by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Burnsville-area legislator has a bill that would indemnify dozens of parties — including cities and school districts — from liability for cleanup of the old Freeway Landfill in Burnsville. District 56B state Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, wants the state to fund the cleanup through its Closed Landfill Program. Instead, the landfill is now the subject of a federal Superfund action that names about 180 parties — from trash haulers to large and small businesses and local governments — as potentially liable for the cleanup. Peterson’s bill would provide indemnification agreements to the “potentially responsible parties.� It would authorize payment for the cleanup — estimated by state officials at $70 million — through the state’s landfill cleanup program. The bill passed the full House of Representatives last week, Peterson said. The city of Burnsville supports the bill, and Mayor Elizabeth Kautz was expected to testify Wednesday on behalf of companion legislation in the Senate. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency opposes the measure, saying it could set a dangerous precedent for shielding responsible parties from liability in other Superfund cases. Cleanup of the landfill was taken over by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last year after prolonged negotiations between the MPCA and the McGowan family trust, which owns the landfill, to bring it into the voluntary Closed Landfill Program finally collapsed. State officials say the cleanup is needed to pre-

vent groundwater contamination and protect drinking water supplies once groundwater pumping in an adjacent mining quarry ceases in possibly 20 years. “The ultimate goal is to clearly get this cleaned up,� said Peterson, whose co-authors include Burnsville’s other Republican representative, Drew Christensen, of District 56A. “If we don’t do something like this, these people will be subject to costly litigation as well as having to put a liability on their financial statements, which could affect their ability to do business.� The bill also indemnifies taxpayers “for the city of Burnsville and Burnsville schools and multiple other municipalities and school districts� named by the EPA, she said. “It seems like the right thing to do to me,� she said. The EPA has cast such a wide net that “57 members of our 134-member House of Representatives have constituents who are affected by this lawsuit who have received a letter from the EPA,� Peterson said. “I have a little old lady who lives in Duluth and her husband owned a drycleaner, and they’re going after her. She got a letter,� Peterson said. “All that’s going to do is just make this little old lady get an attorney she can’t afford. Who’s going to win in that deal? Lawyers.� MPCA Assistant Commissioner Kirk Koudelka said the Peterson bill “creates a very broad indemnification for a contaminated property that’s on the Superfund list� and may invite similar legislative requests from more than 200 other Superfund sites in Minnesota. “This just sets a dangerous precedent that we don’t agree with,� he said. Peterson pointed to one of the funding sources for

and glass. Planned interior amenities include a hair salon, fitness room, theater area and community room. The complex will include both underground and surface parking, as well as a large outdoor elevated deck with grills. A 20-foot sculpture designed by Minneapolis artist Nicholas Legeros, who was commissioned by Dominium, will be placed on the property and visible to traffic on Cedar Avenue. The sculpture is a nod to Apple Valley, incorporating apple blossoms and an apple peel, along with stylized renderings of the letters “A� and “V.� Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc. com.

I-35, from 1A more jobs for the construction industry and economic development, McBride said. Regardless of the funding, residents and business leaders who care about the interchange need to express it to their state senator and representative, according to Sen. Melissa Halvorson Wiklund, DFL-Bloomington, who addressed the status of transportation issues in the Minnesota Senate during the chamber’s forum. Bloomington Chamber President Maureen Scallen Failor echoed the sentiment. “It’s going to take a lot of us and a lot of voices to carry this message over to St. Paul,� she said. Video of the chamber’s public affairs forum is available online at tr.im/ ccforum.

the Closed Landfill Program, created in 1994 — $400 million in settlements with insurance carriers that provided landfill-related insurance coverage. Ten percent of those settlements were directly related to the Freeway Landfill, Peterson said. “So we kind of feel like we’re paying twice,� Burnsville City Manager Heather Johnston said. The discussion would be moot if McGowan trustee Micheal McGowan would simply agree to join the Closed Landfill Program, Koudelka said, noting that 109 other landfill owners have. “The cause of all these problems for everyone is the landfill not entering the program,� he said. “That’s what our problem with the legislation is. It Contact Mike Hanks at doesn’t fix that at all.� The MPCA estimates mike.hanks@ecm-inc.com. landfill cleanup costs at $69.8 million. It proposed to unearth the waste and relocate it to a newly lined part of the property to prevent contact with groundwater. Peterson said there’s $72 million in Closed Landfill Program funds that could be tapped. But Koudelka said that money is for long-term maintenance of closed landfill projects, not new construction. “We had what we thought was an agreement (with McGowan) previously, at the beginning of January 2016,� Koudelka said. “That agreement is still on the table.� McGowan, who has accused the MPCA of decades of unfair treatment of his family’s business, said the MPCA plan left too little developable property and threatened to shut down his Freeway Transfer Station, the remaining business on the property.

Officials warn of deadly new opioid drug Apple Valley man among five confirmed carfentanilrelated deaths by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Officials are warning the public of a dangerously potent new drug that has claimed the lives of at least five people in Minnesota this year. An Apple Valley man, 23-year-old Elliott T. Lee, was among the overdose deaths related to the synthetic opioid carfentanil that were confirmed by Hennepin County Medical Examiner toxicology testing. “Obviously, we’ve dealt with some tragedy in our city,� Apple Valley Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel said during a press conference March 30 at Minneapolis City Hall that aimed to give information about the deadly drug. “This is not something that’s just affecting the

which is approved for human use as a prescription painkiller. Carfentanil can be fatal for humans in extremely small amounts, like the size of a few grains of salt. The findings by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner have led authorities to express concern over the potential for additional overdoses. Synthetic opioids are often mixed with heroin to increase its potency, but dealers and buyers may not know the exact amounts of what they are selling or ingesting. Even among opioid-tolerant users, carfentanil is strong enough to lead to an increase in overdose-related deaths, officials warned. The five confirmed deaths in Minnesota occurred in January and February, with the victims ranging in age from 23 to 43. The medical examiner’s report noted that in the Apple Valley case, Lee’s cause of death was “acute carfentanil toxicity� from a self-administered dose.

The Feb. 17 incident occurred in Lee’s home, and the medical examiner listed “recent heroin use� among other significant conditions. Carfentanil has been linked to overdose deaths in other parts of the country, according to the DEA. Carfentanil and other synthetic opioids — which come in several forms including tablets, powder and spray — are a danger to medical and public safety personnel because they can be absorbed through the skin or through accidental inhalation of airborne powder. “Carfentanil is surfacing in more and more communities,� DEA Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg said in a news release. “We see it on the streets, often disguised as heroin. It is crazy dangerous. Synthetics such as fentanyl and carfentanil can kill you.� Gunnar Olson contributed to this report. Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

inner cities. This is everywhere throughout the state of Minnesota, and the entire region is affected,� Rechtzigel said. “All of us in law enforcement are going to be collaborating to try and fight this new threat to our communities.� The five confirmed carfentanil-related deaths — including three in Minneapolis and one in Faribault — are the first in Minnesota related to the drug. Dr. Andrew Baker, of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office, said there are four or five additional cases where carfentanil is suspected as the cause of death, but those cases have yet to be confirmed by toxicology tests. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, carfentanil is used as a tranquilizing agent for elephants and other large animals. It is not approved for use in humans. The drug, primarily made in China, is about 100 times more potent than the synthetic opioid fentanyl,

Sports Panthers can hold their own on the mound North baseball looking for upgraded offense by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North coach Tony Market described South Suburban Conference baseball as “loaded with pitching.” While that means North hitters will have their hands full against pitchers such as Burnsville’s Sam Carlson (who has signed with the University of Florida) and Eastview’s Danny Kapala (Minnesota), the Panthers aren’t likely to come up short on the mound. They return several pitchers with varsity experience from a team that finished fourth in the 2016 state Class 4A tournament. North wasn’t far from finishing much higher, either – the Panthers led eventual champion Wayzata 2-0 in the sixth inning of the state semifinal before losing 4-2 in eight innings on a walk-off home run. North also should have pitching depth, something that could take on even more importance this year as the National Federation of State High School Associations mandated pitch count limits. The national organization left it to state associations to set their

In Minnesota, a starter on three or more days of rest can throw no more than 105 pitches in a regularseason game; the limits are lower if a pitcher is working on less rest. The Minnesota State High School League isn’t messing around – pitch counts for all B-squad, junior varsity and varsity games must

Baseball preview: pitching rules in SSC by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The term “pitchingrich” applies to South Suburban Conference baseball. According to coaches in the conference, almost every team has at least one top-flight pitcher, if not several. Successfully navigating the conference schedule could depend on scratching out a few runs – and some victories – against those pitchers. With the conference schedule starting Monday, April 10, here’s a look at several South Suburban teams:

Lakeville South Coach: Bill Goodman. Last season: 7-18 overall, 4-14 in South Suburban, 3-2 in Class 4A, Section 1 playoffs. First game: vs. Burnsville at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10. Outlook: Goodman, whose son Kris was a standout player for Apple Valley a few years back, is in his first season as the Cougars’ head coach. One of the players he will build around is senior outfielder Joe McKibben, an honorable mention all-conference player last season. Infielder Reece English and pitcher Dalton Locklear are two more senior returnees.

Lakeville North Coach: Tony Market. Last season: 21-6 overall, 14-4 in South Suburban (tied for conference championship), won Class 4A, Section 1 tournament, fourth in state tournament. First game: vs. Shakopee at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10. Outlook: The Panthers graduated several key members of their 2016 state tournament team but aren’t short on talent. Ross Bastyr and Luke Degrammont lead the rotation. Junior catcher Nick Juaire is already a two-time all-conference player. Infielder Tyler Fietek and outfielder/pitcher Nick Spitt also were regulars last season.

overall, 8-10 in South Suburban, 2-2 in Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs. First game: vs. Farmington at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10. Outlook: There’s talent here, particularly in all-conference returnees Zach Parks (shortstop/ pitcher) and Justin Firpo (infielder/pitcher). Also returning is Matt Arens, another Eagle who can pitch. After a 1-6 start last season, the Eagles became tougher to score against as the season progressed. They’ll look for a faster start in 2017.

Burnsville Coach: Mick Scholl. Last season: 22-5 overall, 14-4 in South Suburban (tied for conference championship), won Class 4A, Section 3 championship, finished fifth in state tournament. First game: at Lakeville South at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10. Outlook: University of Florida commit Sam Carlson makes the Blaze a favorite in any game where he takes the mound. He’s also one of the Blaze’s top returning hitters. Dan Sandvig, Max Hanson and Ryan Brunner are captains, along with Carlson. Infielder Andrew Hanson and pitcher Henry Ristvedt are two more key returnees for a Burnsville team that’s seeking another postseason run.

Farmington

Coach: Jon Graff. Last season: 5-19 overall, 3-15 in South Suburban, 2-2 in Class 4A, Section 1 playoffs. First game: a 7-6 victory over New Prague on Tuesday. Next game: at Apple Valley at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10. Outlook: The Tigers will depend on a large group of returnees as they try to climb in the South Suburban standings. Senior infielder Sam Wilson is a two-time allconference player. Junior Mikey Fredrickson, an honorable mention all-conference player, returns behind the plate. Apple Valley Zach Jakubowski pitched Coach: Jeremy Hen- five strong innings in the opener against New drickson. Last season: 10-14 Prague.

be posted to the MSHSL website, with forfeits and coach suspensions in play for violations. Market said North shouldn’t have trouble adhering to the new rules, although he added the Panthers are likely to carry an extra pitcher on the varsity roster, just in case. “We definitely have more position players that also pitch than we’ve

had in the past,” he said. “We’ve always built our teams on pitching and defense. This year we’ve got some young guys competing for spots, and we’ll start the season with some kids who haven’t played much on varsity yet, but we have a chance to be the same kind of team.” North’s top two starting pitchers are likely to be senior right-hander Ross Ba-

styr and senior left-hander Luke Degrammont, both of whom have signed with Concordia University in St. Paul. Bastyr, whose fastball reached the mid80s last season, was 6-0 with a 1.98 earned-run average in 2016. He shut out Wayzata for the first five innings of the state Class 4A semifinal game last June at CHS Field. Degrammont threw 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, striking out nine, as North defeated Maple Grove 2-1 in the Class 4A quarterfinals. That earned him a spot on the all-tournament team. A midseason callup from the junior varsity, Degrammont had five saves and a 0.00 ERA as a reliever in 2016. Juniors Nick Spitt, Collin Denk and Nathaniel Peterson also will pitch, as will senior Sean Flaherty. Ryan Sleeper, a sophomore left-hander, also could see some varsity time. They’ll throw to junior catcher Nick Juaire, who is entering his third year as a starter and has verbally committed to Texas Christian University. “He has a lot of experience working with our pitchers,” Market said of last year’s team MVP. “Now that he’s older, we expect he will be more assertive with his teammates. And now

that he’s chosen a college, it should help him relax and just concentrate on playing the game without thinking about where he’s going to go to school.” Last year Juaire batted .365 with 16 RBI. He figures to bat in the middle of the lineup, as will senior third baseman Tyler Fietek. Fietek, who will play at Iowa Central Community College, led North with 22 RBI last season. Other returning position players include Spitt, an outfielder, and center fielder Michael Dooney, who batted .297 last season and was named to the all-tournament team at state. A sophomore, Gavin Baker, likely will start the season at shortstop. While facing the top pitchers in the South Suburban Conference will be a challenge, Market said he’s hoping the offense can take some pressure off the pitchers. Last year North went 21-6 despite hitting only .259 as a team. North will face Wayzata in a home scrimmage Friday afternoon before opening its season against Shakopee at home at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 10.

Frozen Four’s local connections Two former South Suburban players help UMD reach Chicago by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Nick Wolff experienced the premier event in Minnesota high school hockey when he played in the state tournament. He’s about to take part in something similar in college. Wolff, an Eagan High School graduate and freshman defenseman at Minnesota Duluth, will play for the Bulldogs in the NCAA Frozen Four beginning Thursday in Chicago. UMD takes on Harvard in a semifinal game at 5 p.m. at the United Center. It’s all happened quickly for Wolff, who came to Duluth just hoping to make some kind of contribution in his first season. Now he’s getting regular ice time and has 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 35 games. Both of his goals have come in the postseason, including one in UMD’s 3-2 overtime victory over Ohio State in the NCAA West Regional semifinals. “I’m very appreciative, very thankful for the opportunity I’ve gotten here,” Wolff said in a phone interview last week. “It’s one of the best programs in the country. A lot of people say our conference (National Collegiate Hockey Conference) is the best in college hockey. “We have a lot of good players here, and to be in the lineup has been a

I’m a fifth or sixth ‘D’ and I’m happy with that because I didn’t know how much I’d play my first year.” Wolff was a captain of the 2014 Eagan High team that finished third in the state Class AA tournament. He played nine games with the Des Moines Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League as a high school senior, then rejoined the Buccaneers for two full seasons before starting at UMD. Wolff committed to Minnesota Duluth shortly after the start of his first full season in Des Moines. There never was much

He has 79 points in four seasons with the Bulldogs, including 14 goals in his freshman season. Osterberg scored 63 points as a Lakeville South freshman in 2009-10, then spent two years with the U.S. National Team Development Program and one with the Omaha Lancers of the USHL before starting his college career. UMD, 27-6-7 overall, goes into the Frozen Four as one of the nation’s hottest teams. The Bulldogs are 15-1-3 in their last 19 games and have been tested under pressure. “We’ve been in a lot of one-goal and overtime games lately,” Wolff said, “and we’ve been able to keep our focus going. We’ve kept playing the way we need to.” The UMD-Harvard winner plays Denver or Notre Dame in the championship game Saturday night. UMD has been in the Frozen Four four other times and won the national title on its last trip there in 2011. In that season, the Bulldogs defeated Michigan 3-2 in the championship game at Xcel Energy Center. One of the top forwards on that UMD squad was Rosemount High School graduate J.T.

His parents, Ron and Cyndi, are UMD graduates and his brother Joe also attended the university. “I did visit a couple of other schools,” Wolff said, “but assuming UMD wanted me, no, there was never any doubt about where I was going. None at all.” He is one of two players with ties to the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area that will compete in the Frozen Four.

Lakeville’s Kloos signs with Minnesota Wild Forward gets 2-year contract by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Justin Kloos, a twoyear University of Minnesota men’s hockey captain and 2012 Mr. Hockey award winner at Lakeville South, signed a two-year contract with the Minnesota Wild on March 30. The contract is for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons. Kloos will spend the rest of this season with the Iowa Wild, Minnesota’s American Hockey League

affiliate, on an amateur tryout agreement. The forward made his professional debut last Friday against the Chicago Wolves. Kloos had 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in his senior season at Minnesota, helping the Gophers reach the first round of the NCAA playoffs. In four seasons, he had 150 points (63 goals, 87 assists) in 155 games. He was first-team All-Big Ten Conference his senior year, secondteam All-Big Ten as a junior and is a three time Academic All-Big Ten selection. He was on three teams that reached the

NCAA playoffs, including the 2013-14 squad that advanced to the national championship game. “Playing hockey at the University of Minnesota has meant the world to me, and I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who has supported us over the last four years,” Kloos said. “It’s been an unforgettable ride, and I’m so thankful I was able to share it with my teammates, our fans and everybody that shares our passion for this program.” In 2011-12, his senior year at Lakeville South, Kloos scored 103 points

in 31 games for a Cougars team that finished third in the state Class AA tournament. He’s the second Lakeville native in the Wild system. Jordan Schroeder, who played at St. Thomas Academy, the U.S. national Under-18 team and the University of Minnesota, is in his third season with the Wild. Schroeder, a forward, has 13 points in 36 games. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

She said they seek book selections they feel are stimulating, will provide good discussion and appeal to many different readers. Debra Holzgraefe, president of the Heritage Library Friends, called the book “very interesting,� and said author Kao Kalia Yang also spoke to Lakeville North High School students April 5.

ANTLERS, from 1A the residential development has expanded further. When first discussed, city officials had expressed excitement about the park possibilities and former City Administrator Steve Mielke compared it to King Park or Aronson Park. Some City Council members said it could include fields for baseball, softball, soccer or lacrosse. City Council members said the delay will also be beneficial as the city is establishing a task force to review the city’s need for indoor turf amenities in Lakeville. Mattamy Homes, the FORUM, from 1A posts online posing as their victim. Howe said the music, movies and video culture children are regularly exposed to desensitizes them to violence and “anything of an explicit nature.� “These kids see it at such an early age and they become very desensitized to it, so like the thought of sending an explicit nude photo of yourself doesn’t seem like as big of a deal,� Howe said. Willingham said the event is not a response to any particular situation at any District 194 school but is being held to provide parents resources and information. “Probably the parents who are going to show up, I’m guessing, are the involved parents that want to know what kids are doing and want to help their kids navigate through this stuff, too,� Willingham said. She said she believes parents and schools “really struggle� with giving children phones and internet access. Once children have online access, Willingham said, parents have a hard time monitoring what their children are exposed to online. “It feels so impossible to keep on top of and monitor-

original developer, announced in February it sold the land to CalAtlantic Homes of California. Council Member Colleen LaBeau said CalAtlantic Homes needs to come to the city and show they have acquired the property and have assumed all of Mattamy’s development contracts with the city. “The development contract references Mattamy,� Assistant City Administrator Allyn Kuennen said. “So, there’s got to be a transfer of the contract to CalAtlantic Homes, and that would take council approval to do that.� Kuennen said council

approval is also necessary if CalAtlantic wants to make any revisions to the original development plans. LaBeau, owner of a real estate business, encouraged city staff to reach out to CalAtlantic. “I think we should have a clear understanding of what their vision and thoughts are,� LaBeau said, adding they could have a “little different vision.� According to the CalAtlantic Homes website, the company was formed in 2015 through a merger of two home building companies: Ryland and Standard Pacific, becoming the fourth largest homebuilder in America.

ing what your kids are doing because kids are one step ahead of you,� Willingham said. Willingham said youths often do not realize what they do online can become permanent. “That, to me, is the scariest part of it,� Willingham said. Howe advised parents to have strict parental controls in place on their children’s electronic devices to avoid unfiltered access to the internet. He said many parents keep their children’s cellphones in the parent’s room overnight to charge and allow their kids some time away from the devices to do homework and sleep. “I think parents need to have complete, complete access to all their kids’ phones, emails, texts, social media, everything so they can at any time pick up their kids’ phone and look through it,� Howe said. He also suggested parents purchase parental control software to monitor their children’s social media activity. “Parents absolutely need to be very involved with their son or daughter’s digital footprint,� Howe said. “Parents have far more power in this area than the police do and they have way more

control. They can easily help us with this ongoing issues.� He said parents who attend the forum will learn more about what SROs do in the schools, and adults can share and band together in learning about challenges and correcting them. “It’s a very cool community effort for us to get together, because we’re all trying to raise these kids the right way and we want nothing more than to avoid trauma and mistakes,� Howe said. “They’re young kids and they need to be guided in the appropriate fashion.� There are plans to continue holding forums at each District 194 middle school next year with topics that most concern parents. District 194 Communications Director Amy Olson called the forum “a great opportunity for our parents to equip themselves with knowledge that can help them keep their students safe.� “We appreciate the ongoing partnership with the Lakeville Police Department and the McGuire Middle School Parent Teacher Organization for arranging this forum,� she said.

The ideal candidate sought would also serve as an “articulate spokesperson� and successfully implement School Board policies through “effective organization and empowerment� of district personnel. Current District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder submitted her resignation in November 2016 after five years leading the district.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville April 7, 2017 19A

Thisweekend Apple Valley author returns with small-town mystery Mindy Mejia featured at April 18 author event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Mindy Mejia’s new novel, “Everything You Want Me to Be,� follows the investigation of a high school student’s murder in a small town. To give the book a true-to-life feel, the Apple Valley writer delved into research of police procedure and crime-scene investigation. “I’ve never worked in law enforcement, so it took some effort to get into Del’s head, the sheriff who’s investigating the murder of Hattie Hoffman,� she said. “I interviewed some law enforcement officers and am a member of Sisters in Crime, a national writer’s group devoted to promoting female authors of crime fiction. The Twin Cities chapter hosts guest speakers who provide their expert insight on everything from autopsies to crime-scene cleanup.� “Everything You Want Me to Be� is Mejia’s second novel. “The Dragon Keeper,� released in 2012, follows a zookeeper and the Komodo dragon she cares for as scientific, religious and media forces converge on the zoo after the reptile produces eggs without ever having had a mate. Mejia is set to speak at 6:30

Mindy Mejia p.m. Tuesday, April 18, at the Steeple Center in Rosemount as part of the Meet the Author series presented by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Admission is free. Mejia spoke with this newspaper recently about her writing habits, the allure of mystery fiction, and the real-life murder case that helped to shape her new novel. Q: At what point in your life did you know you wanted to be a writer? A: I started writing at 8 years old when my mom gave me my first journal. I’ve always been a writer, but I didn’t realize I could make a career out of it. Q: What is your writing strategy? Do you have any writing

rituals? A: I currently have a fulltime day job in accounting, so at the moment my main writing time is on my lunch breaks. My main writing ritual when I begin a writing session is to review the last few paragraphs where I left off and do some minor line edits. It propels me back into the scene. Q: Describe your writing room at home. A: When I’m able to write at home, I use a very messy office where there is barely room for my laptop. Once I’m settled in, an overweight tomcat named Dusty likes to cozy up next to the keyboard or on my lap. He’s my supervisor. Q: “Everything You Want Me to Be� is a murder mystery set in a small town. What drew you to the mystery genre? A: I’ve always loved mysteries and the lure of solving them, even though certain things in life are unknowable. This book was partly inspired by a murder that occurred in the town where my grandparents farmed, and even though the murderer was arrested and sentenced, the mystery of why it happened still lingers. What motivates someone to kill someone else? What choices led to that meeting and confrontation? The privilege of being

Q: What are you working on now? Any book projects in the works? A: I’m working on a new thriller set in northern Minnesota. It’s about the disappearance of a man and his son in the Boundary Waters and the mystery of the son’s emergence from the wilderness 10 years later. Q: What was the last truly great book you read? A: I’ve read so many fabulous thrillers in the last year, but the book that absolutely stunned me was “Everything I Never Told You� by Celeste Ng. Q: What books, other than your own, would you recommend to readers interested in the mystery genre? A: “Good As Gone� by Amy Gentry, “The Vanishing Year� by Kate Moretti, “Behind Her Eyes� by Sarah Pinborough — don’t finish it after 10 p.m. — and anything by Mary Kubica. Q: What advice do you have for young writers? A: Keep writing. Don’t ever expect your first draft to be your final draft. And, of course, read like crazy.

writers and readers is that we get to step into those situations and try to imagine the unknowable. Q: Did you incorporate any of your own life experiences into the new novel? A: The characters in “Everything� are pure fiction, but the landscape of the book was shaped by the farm town where my grandparents lived. I wanted to showcase the spirit and resilience of agricultural communi- Contact Andrew Miller at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com. ties in this book.

Garage sale in Rosemount goes to two days Rosemount band fundraiser puts instruments in the hands of students by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount High School band program has long been recognized as one of the best in the state as evidenced by the number of awards it has gathered over the years. But it’s not easy to keep a band program running in these times of tight financial constraints on public schools. Extracurricular activities of all kinds often have to fund raise to put the basics together for their programs. The Rosemount band program, which may be the state’s largest, is no different. Its biggest fundraiser of the year is going from one to two days — 4-8 p.m. April 21 and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 22 — in an effort to generate more revenue from the event that puts instruments in the hands of students and sheet music on the stands in front of them. “Since we had so much product to sell last year, we are super excited to be able to have a two-day sale this year,� said Rosemount band parent Audra Simmering. Rosemount area resi-

dents can help out the 500-plus student program in three ways — donating items, volunteering to work the event and shopping the sale in the Rosemount High School Student Center. The first step of donating items will run April 15-21 at the Rosemount Community Center parking lot (times listed below). This location has changed from previous years in an effort to reduce traffic congestion around the school. “We are excited about the exposure on Highway 3 and will have large signs posted on our collection trailers,� Simmering said. “The administration and staff at RHS are also very happy about alleviating the congestion in the school parking lot.� The sale accepts gently used items and furniture in good condition. Simmering said some of the best sellers in past years have been sporting goods, bicycles and furniture items that were in great shape. The sale is adding a designer boutique area this year that will include higher end product. Those who have high-value items to donate should let workers at the dropoff site know about that, Simmering said. The band is unable to accept mattresses, sofa sleepers, entertainment centers, baby furniture,

car seats, strollers, exercise equipment, computers, large appliances, TVs, microwaves, metal office furniture, gas-powered items, large seasonal items like Christmas trees, food items, toiletries, bathroom fixtures, tires and undergarments. A silent auction will be back for the second year. People who high-value items to donate to the silent auction should contact the band. A brat stand will serve doughnuts and coffee for the early morning shoppers on Saturday as well as brats, chips and beverages all day long in addition to being set up for Friday night. People are needed to help in the following ways — collecting the items on donation days, setting up and cleaning up after the sale and working the sale. “We still need section leaders who are responsible for setting up areas of the sale before it opens, we need lots of worker bees to help unload and unpack product, we need help with receiving donations at the collection trailers as well as lots of help on the day of the sale,� Simmering said. “It takes a lot of work and effort to pull off a sale of this magnitude and even if you can help out for a couple of hours, every little bit helps.� Those who have questions about volunteer-
