Kautz tags Burnsville Center as ‘urgent’ challenge Enters city in Bloomberg grant competition by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At a national mayors conference in June, Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz had the opportunity to pick an “urgent� challenge in her community. She chose Burnsville Center, the 40-year-old regional shopping mall, which — like many malls across the country — is challenged by the rise of online retailing. Kautz entered Burnsville in the Bloomberg Philanthropies 2017 Mayors Challenge, a grant competition encouraging cities to craft solutions for urgent problems. Make no mistake, Kautz said — the viability of the 96-acre Burnsville Center property along County Road 42 is “urgent� for the community. “We cannot afford in Burnsville for that property to go dark,� Kautz said. She said she’s con-

Historic monument could be revived in Rosemount after 26 years Chief Waukan-ojanjan was a Dakota leader

Photo submitted

There are plans to reinstall a monument honoring Chief Medicine Bottle a/k/a Waukan-ojan-jan (“Spirit Light�) along Highway 52/55 near the Rosemount-Inver Grove border next summer. As the leader of the Dakota village at Pine Bend, dating back to 1838, he welcomed the earliest settlers to Dakota County in the 1840s. His monument was constructed a century later by the National Youth Administration and Pine Bend 4-H Club. It was so highly regarded that it was considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, until it was removed in 1991 during construction of the 117th Street bridge.

Joe Atkins, Dakota County Commissioner in District 4, hopes Chief Waukan-ojan-jan’s monument will be reinstalled next summer near its original location after 26 years in storage.

District 196 undergoes technological makeover Updated technology improves communication, learning in District 196 by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As Sept. 5, the first day of school, fast approaches, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District is putting the final touches on a technological makeover and rebranding campaign. On Wednesday, Aug. 23, District 196 launched a new website. Communications Director Tony Taschner said the WordPressbased site is designed for the people who use it the most: parents and students. The site is mobileresponsive and aims to make commonly searched information easy to find. Each individual school will continue to run its own website. All schools have been asked, however, to format their websites in a way that will bring uniformity and cohesion to the district’s online presence. The district has recommended consistent standards for features such as navigation and quick links.

Although the district site has been designed to streamline everyday use, the site may have seemed slow for at-home users this week as it was undergoing maintenance and testing through Thursday, Aug. 24. The district promised to send an alert when the site had been tested and become fully functional. The new website is not the only technological change. In July, the district switched over to a new student information system called Synergy Education Platform. The new system includes a parent portal that allows parents to create an account, log in and update their own contact information. Parents can also access the meal accounts, grades and FeePay accounts for their students through the portal. The district simplified the transition by simultaneously switching to a new alert system called SchoolMessenger. Converting to both new systems at the same time al-

lowed for one cohesive data upload. “We are providing a system that meets increasing expectations by parents to get information quickly,� Taschner said. “We are dealing with people’s kids, and there is nothing more precious than that.� He said the new system will help improve communication between parents and administrators. “If there is information that you need to have as a parent, we will provide that when we have solid information,� he said. “The notification system gives us that ability to very quickly send phone calls to as many parents as we need to.� In addition to all the technological advancements outside the classroom, the district is bringing new technology inside the classroom. This is the second year of a threeyear implementation plan to provide a technological device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11

and 12 will receive an iPad this year. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and nine. “We’ve implemented in a smart way,� Taschner said. “We had the vision for one-to-one access, and we looked at what would be the most effective way to implement it.� Taschner said students use iPads as a learning tool, just as they use other learning tools such as pencils or notebooks. The teacher manages the use of the device so that the students can enrich their education rather than distract themselves. Taschner said that through this process, students are learning how to be good digital citizens. “Education is changing. The teacher isn’t standing at the front of the room all the time any-

more. Now, much more, it is small groups of people working together, and the teacher goes around and works with those groups,� he said. Taschner said that while technology can help with the modern classroom structure, it can also be intimidating or uncomfortable for teachers who are unfamiliar with the devices and their programs. Training and support from other teachers has helped make implementation successful across the board. Communication changes will extend beyond the cybersphere to the printed page. Taschner confirmed that the district newsletter, which is printed and sent to every home, is also undergoing an update. Additionally, District 196 has developed a new logo that aims to symbolically unify all of its individual schools. Taschner said the logo is finalized and will be revealed at a picnic for District 196 staff on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at Eastview High School.

Although many of the summer projects are wrapping up, Taschner says there is still work to be done on strategic communication. As the district works to improve its communication with parents and students, it is exploring options to share information with people who may be excluded. The district is looking at ways it can improve its services for non-English speakers. Although the district does provide interpreters when necessary, it rarely provides translation. To best reach all parents, translation of documents, website material, newsletters and other mass communication is becoming a priority. Taschner said that with more than 100 languages spoken across the district, the focus languages will most likely be Spanish and Somali. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

‘Suspicious incident’ marked ‘harmless misunderstanding’ Apple Valley Police assuage concerns after YMCA pickup incident by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

According to an Apple Valley police report, an unidentified female attempted to pick up two children from a YMCA summer youth program. The incident occurred on Wednesday, Aug. 16. at 3:30 p.m. at Westview Elementary School. The woman approached program staff and provided the names of two children she intended to pick up. The staff, following checkout procedure, determined the woman was not authorized to pick up the children. The children

stated they did not know the woman. The woman left in a black SUV with Minnesota license plates. Three children were in the vehicle with her. Apple Valley police encouraged anyone with information to call the station. YMCA staff said that it has checkout procedures in place for situations such as these. “The safety of the kids is always our top priority. We have a reliable system, and it worked flawlessly,� said Joan Schimml, senior director of communications and marketing for the Burnsville YMCA.

On Friday, Aug. 18, Apple Valley police released a statement that they’d identified the woman. After speaking with her, they determined the incident was “a harmless misunderstanding involving kids with similarsounding names.� Apple Valley police Capt. John Bermel said the incident presents no threat to the community. “This was a harmless misunderstanding, and we have not had any other similar incidents happen,� he said. Bermel said the incident exemplifies how important it is for kids and staff to follow safety

pick-up procedures. He also said he encourages child care facilitators to review and follow their protocols. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

4A August 25, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

Opinion Job market strong, but too much potential is untapped Job statistics can be mercurial, especially the more often you measure them. One month’s job-loss chill can be followed by a white-hot month of gains. But the overall trajectory in Minnesota is unmistakable — this state is wide open for business. In the eight years since the Great Recession officially ended, Minnesota has added 314,261 jobs, an 11.7 percent increase that matches the national rate, according to the state’s Department of Employment and Economic Development. A seasonally adjusted gain of 4,400 jobs in June pushed the labor market to new heights. In part because of a weak report last June, year-over-year job gains totaled 77,478, or 2.6 percent — the largest gain since May 1998, at a growth rate not seen in nearly six years. Minnesota’s unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, below the nation’s 4.4 percent, and its share of employment among the working-age population is at its highest level since January 2009, DEED reported last month. Many people in Koochiching and Itasca counties have reason to worry about their prospects, with unemployment rates of 7.8 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. They’re a far cry from the 2.7 percent in Eden Prairie and Roches-

ECM Editorial This is the fourth installment in an editorial series called The Changing Face of Minnesota. This year, the ECM Publishers Editorial Board is examining demographic changes and disparities in Minnesota that center around race, wealth, age, region and employment. ter or the 2.5 in Northfield. Regional disparities are often affected by plant closings in smaller communities or the vicissitudes of industries such as mining and timber, whose booms and busts are facts of life in northern Minnesota. Seemingly as predictable, and more statistically significant, is the nagging problem of underdeveloped human capital in Minnesota’s minority communities. Despite June’s excellent job gains, racial employment disparities actually rose slightly, DEED reported. Black Minnesotans’ unemployment rate rose from 8.1 percent in April and May to 8.4 percent. Hispanic unemployment rose from 5.3 percent to 5.5 percent. White unemployment held steady at 3.1 percent.

The Twin Cities metro area has the highest proportion of working adults among the nation’s 25 largest metro regions. But 13 percentage points separate the share of working non-Hispanic whites from that of people of color, reports the Itasca Project, a business-led civic alliance. The gap ranks the Twin Cities near the bottom of the 25 metro areas. Gaps in employment and income persist even when education is considered. Unemployment among black high school graduates is three times higher than among white high school graduates, the Itasca Project says. Among blacks with bachelor’s degrees or higher, the unemployment rate is double that of whites with similar education. Growth in the Twin Cities labor force absorbed the post-recession job demands but is projected to slow in the next decade as the population ages. Though it would have seemed unthinkable eight years ago, employers and state officials are now grasping for ways to fill jobs in an ever-tightening labor market. To capture and retain workers at a time when the region’s diversity is growing, DEED advises employers to lower barriers impeding nonwhite workers and other populations, including the dis-

abled, youth and people with less education. Schools, both high schools and secondary, should sharpen their focus on career-aware counseling and programs. An example is the new career Pathways program at Burnsville High School, which clusters coursework into strands that allow students to explore professional fields and even begin credentialing work. Too many minorities with post-secondary degrees, particularly blacks, wind up in temporary jobs or other low-wage work, which depresses their earnings as a group. But when blacks are able to find jobs in industries related to their majors, wage disparities disappear, according to DEED. People of color comprise 24 percent of the Twin Cities region’s working-age population; their ranks are projected to grow to 50 percent by 2050. Without a virtuous cycle of inclusive education, training, recruitment, employment and advancement, Minnesota’s economy will fall short of its potential. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Free, fantastic publication for families, students and educators by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota families looking for something creative, challenging and fun for their children have a free, terrific resource: this year’s edition of “Reach for the Stars.” This is a catalogue of, as the publishers put it, “More than 100 academic programs, challenges, competitions, events and enrichment activities for Minnesota K-12 students.” The booklet also is a great guide for educators who want to help students explore, deepen or expand their interests. You can download and/or order free copies at http://bit.ly/2vjhnCJ Whether a young person is interested in agriculture, art, business, current events, duck stamps, fuel efficient vehicles, government, languages, LEGO,

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan math, mock trials, music, philosophy, the stock market, writing, or dozens of other areas, this booklet describes programs that will provide enrichment, challenge and in some cases, competition. Some of the programs are free, and some have a modest fee. Some are open to individuals, while others involve teams. “Reach for the Stars” is produced by the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, based in North Mankato. Lifetouch

Photography sponsors the colorful, 60page booklet. Barb Bergseth, of the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, told me that the booklet has been published for “nearly 30 years.” Bergseth sent an email explaining that Zona Sharp Burke, former executive director of Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation, told her “it started out as a poster of academic enrichment activities. … The Reach for the Stars theme was selected for its dual meanings: for educators to find and reach their star students and for these students to aim high, to reach for the stars. When MAEF was disbanded, Synergy & Leadership Exchange (formerly known as the Center for Academic Excellence) took over producing Reach for the Stars.” “Reach for the Stars” is a wonder-

ful example of educator, community and business collaboration. I’ve written about previous editions but the current one is even more “user friendly” than previous publications. It’s easy to find programs geared to young people of various ages, with particular interests. The Synergy & Leadership Exchange will send free copies of the booklet to families and to educators. Looking through “Reach for the Stars” and helping a young person pick one or two activities to check out seems like a great way to start a new school year.

Letters A message of compassion To the editor: To my white, black, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Mexican, Buddhist, Taoist, Atheist, Agnostic brothers and sisters, including those groups I don’t mention by name, I extend greetings of peace, love, and compassion. Every day, I try to remember that feelings or thoughts of anger or hatred aimed toward people who appear to be filled with anger and hatred only spread anger and hatred. I believe that remembering love and compassion are the best defense against things as unpleasant as those I mentioned above. I try to avoid namecalling because I believe it’s the first step toward a dark path. When I think of someone as an “idiot,” I sometimes am mindful that anger is present (admittedly, remembering that compassion is more powerful than anger is an ongoing challenge for me). I hope next week will be better for the people of the world than the last. I hope that one day, no one will have to live in fear. ANDY ALT Lakeville

Lewis is willing to listen To the editor: In Mark Frascone’s last letter to the editor, he seems to see a contradiction, because letter writer Richard Iffert stated a few people acted rudely to U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis at the parade, but Meyer stated that Lewis enjoyed talking with many people and his team had to keep pulling him away because the parade was moving on. From this, Frascone somehow finds a contradiction and twisted this into a conclusion that Republicans don’t listen to opposing views. I believe Mr. Frascone is just angry because he has been unable to provoke Lewis into an outburst so he can record it and use it against him in order to support his DFL candidate who plans to run against Lewis. It’s interesting that Frascone accuses Meyer of “digging into his personal life “ because he described him as a DFL activist,; but, Frascone brings up Meyer’s previous run for Eagan City Council (which has nothing to do with the

events at the parade) and then personally attacks him warning others not to vote for people like him. Frascone also wrote that Meyer states things about him and his involvement in politics that are just not true and accuses him of employing alternate facts. However, no one need do any “digging” to know that Frascone is the founder of the Burnsville Indivisible resistance group. If that doesn’t make you a DFL activist, what would? It appears to me that Frascone is the one employing alternate facts. Frascone has stated on YouTube that he writes and calls Lewis’ office daily and organizes protests at his office. This is plain and simple harassment. Lewis is always willing to listen to constituents who want to discuss things civilly, regardless of political party. I also attended the parade, and saw a woman walk up to Lewis, and tell him that she was one of his constituents. She expressed her concern, and he politely responded to it, even though he knew she was a Democrat, proving that Lewis does respond to his con-

stituent’s concerns. ARLENE SHELDON Eagan

The irony of current complaints To the editor: In Mark Frascone’s letter to the editor published last week, he complained about imaginary events where constituents were unable to walk up to their elected representatives to discuss “important matters.” He fantasized about Republicans telling him that opposing voices don’t count, and of people in power not listening to “us and our concerns.” I wonder whether these are newfound concerns for Mr. Frascone. Was he was also bothered during the Obama years when opposing voices weren’t just ignored, but slandered as racist or xenophobic by Democrats in power at the time. If not, then the irony of his current complaints might be lost on him. The good news is, we have a well-reasoned, logically structured process for differing sides to resolve political disagreements. We also have a very active and engaged U.S. representative in Jason Lewis. The 2016 election was 10 months ago. I’m looking forward to the day local

Democrats once again engage in policy discussions the dignity, intelligence and respect that process requires. KYLE CHRISTENSEN Lakeville

Lewis should read the Constitution

at Lewis’ residence as an attempt at dialogue. However, let us talk about Lewis’ district office. In Lewis’ Facebook post: “Our district office has also experienced demonstrations in blatant violation of wellestablished security rules that have escalated to the point of causing real concern to my staff and the constituents who desire to speak to them.” Let us keep it honest about the Cliff Road office visit. Staffers stated the district office is on private property and is therefore a “private business.” Please explain. What was the violation? Where are “security rules” published? Is there a public notice notifying constituents that unscheduled appointments are “demonstrations”? Lewis’ staff graciously welcomed us into the office, exchanged friendly jokes and offered to pass concerns on to Lewis. If there was concern by staffers, this was not evident in what was recorded by the cameras. What exactly are Lewis’ fears in our request for a town hall? Lewis should represent all of the 2nd District, not just some, even when we may not agree with him.

To the editor: What is the First Amendment to the Constitution? Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. On Aug. 8, 2nd District constituents visited U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ district office respectfully asking for a town hall. Requests made in writing, office visits, letters, tweets, Facebook messages, phone calls, town halls scheduled for Lewis are unanswered. In a post on his campaign Facebook page, again he refuses to hear his constituents. Two separate events on two separate days, details are blended to RENITA FISHER present a distorted truth. Burnsville Lewis’ home is sacred and deserves respect. I See LETTERS, 5A do not condone a protest

LETTERS, from 4A

A Congress that works To the editor: While much is spoken lately of congressional paralysis due to toxic rancor and partisanship, one committee in the House is quietly and cooperatively making real progress in addressing what may be the existential crisis of our time. The Climate Solutions Caucus just grew to 52 members in July (with equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats) to become a major House Committee. First formed in 2016 by Republican Carlos Curbelo and Democrat Ted Deutch, two Florida congressmen whose districts are in imminent peril from rising sea levels, it has grown substantially in size and influence. The solution most palatable to congressional conservatives and business seems to be the Fee and Dividend approach. This does not involve heavy handed government regulations, bloated bureaucracies, targeted subsidies or new taxes. Instead a price or “fee�is put on carbon at the wellhead, mine or port of entry and all proceeds go back to individual households in the form of a dividend. Through this approach some 70 percent of households would see a net increase in their income, even with the higher initial costs of fossil fuel energy. Independent studies found dramatic reductions in carbon pollution and the reduction of some 230,000 premature deaths as well as net benefits to the economy including some 2.8 million new jobs. Some 40 other major nations worldwide em-

ploy some type of carbon fee or tax. The United States can ill afford to fall behind and not take advantage of these new energy technologies. I am hopeful that the Climate Solutions Caucus, with it’s very practical and bipartisan approach will lead the way. KARL FORSBERG Eagan

Unique coverage offered To the editor: The blank front page of last week’s issue was a novel idea. The caption for our consideration, “Imagine If There Was No Newspaper,� was consistent with the editorial theme expressed by guest contributors. There might have been a more effective caption that better reflects the current trend in news in general, and newspapers specifically. The caption on the otherwise blank front page could have read “ Imagine If There Was No News Worth Printing.� The typical 1/2 hour newscast by local TV stations is usually composed a hot breaking news item, then advertisements taking up almost half the allotted time. The remaining time is almost always filled with a grossly expanded weather report, and a sports section that simply amounts to free advertising for professional sports. Any left over time is filled with trivial sound bits. The reality is that there usually is about 10 minutes or less of “news.� The major local newspapers provide a similar experience daily with half the paper composed of advertisements and fill-ins from police and accident reports. There

is always a whole section devoted to professional sports with details that I suspect the vast majority of readers could care less about. Again this amounts to free advertisements for the NFL, MLB, and other pro sports. Often major editorials are borrowed from columnists for major New York or Washington newspapers which have little sensitivity for the mood or attitudes of Minnesota readers. Rarely, is there any news or items of local community interest. This bring us to Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune publications. Here, we are uniquely presented with a newspaper that is designed to focus on bringing community news to readers. We have the unique opportunity to read about items that truly affect readers. Here is where information is news, not a rehash sensationalized events or a continuous repeat of biased national political arguments (admittedly the Letters to the Editor section is usually very biased). The local publication fills a significant gap in news coverage by being the only press that lets us see our local community. Thanks for your unique coverage.

ly blank first page in last week’s edition. However, in its one sentence on this mostly blank first page, the newspaper made a glaring grammar gaffe that has sent shock waves throughout the metropolis, even to the point of causing many of my former Burnsville High School students to be hospitalized for subjunctive-mood trauma. It seems that using “were� instead of “was� in a hypothetical thought after the word “if � would be a wholly insignificant concern — a triviality only a nerd like me would notice. Apparently, insignificance is not the case here. Already, nearby communities such as Bloomington have broken off diplomatic relations with Burnsville, and not a single one of my former Burnsville students has been released from the subjunctive-mood trauma ward. Therefore, to make this a better world and prevent further sociolinguistic tsunamis, I ask that our local Sun Thisweek staff do the right thing: Breathe in deeply, take long strides, and, in your next issue, print a front-page correction for this egregious error.

Regarding Make it ‘were,’ the Whiteout campaign not ‘was,’ in To the editor: front-page Last week’s Whiteout campaign and the acmessage companying three colTo the editor: Many thanks to the Minnesota Newspaper Association for increasing our appreciation of the localized press.

umns from our U.S senator and two longtime media professionals was a very sad indictment regarding the state of affairs within our media in the United States. What was particularly troubling was the let-

ter from our Sen. Amy Klobuchar, regarding today’s media environment. It was headlined “Supporting a free press.� I wish the senator’s headline would have read “Supporting a truthful press.� But instead Klobuchar as well as the other two contributors almost totally ignored the state of today’s press that has been caught publishing multiple articles that have had to be retracted and we saw testimony from an FBI director admitting how easy it was for him to “plant� information through a friend that he knew today’s press would run with very little study or background. In conclusion, it was very sad to see this Whiteout campaign and a U.S senator almost totally ignore the ramifications of having a dishonest press (on both sides) that we see today. I ask the senator: What good is a free press if we can’t believe it, and if its goals are to “make� the news for its own purposes and not to honestly report it like your father did?

you can also call 1-800646-6222 to speak to live operators. BBB offers customers reviews as well. • Prior to making payment, get the company’s refund and exchange policies in writing. Also, ask about any guarantees or warranties. • Collect the company’s physical location and telephone number in case you need to return or exchange an item after the event. • It’s always a good idea to do some comparison shopping before making a purchasing decision. Keep in mind, however, that the least expensive item may not always be the best value. • Don’t be pressured to buy. After the demonstration or sales pitch, give yourself some time to think about the purchase. This will help you decide whether or not the item is necessary and a good deal. • Ask the vendor if a sale price will be honored after the State Fair. If so, you will not feel pressured to purchase the item on the spot. • It’s important to note that the Federal Trade Commission’s “coolingoff rule,â€? which normally allows consumers three days to cancel a purchase, does not apply to the fol-

lowing purchases at fairs: purchases under $25; goods or services not primarily intended for personal, family, or household purposes; insurance, securities, or real estate; motor vehicles; and arts and crafts. • If you are making a purchase where the “cooling-off ruleâ€? does apply, and you need to cancel a sale, sign and date a copy of the company’s cancellation form, which they should provide. If you mail the form back to the company, be sure it is postmarked before midnight of the third business day after which you made the purchase. Sundays and federal holidays are not considered business days. Otherwise, bring the form in-person to the company within three days of the date you made the purchase. “We’re all about businesses making the most of gatherings like the State Fair,â€? added Adams Loyd. “It’s a get-together with opportunities for all.â€?

Minnesota Energy Resources awards public safety grants To show support for those who strive to improve public safety each day, Minnesota Energy Resources and its charitable giving organization, Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Foundation, are awarding more than $9,000 to six emergency response agencies as part of the utility’s annual safety grants. Locally, the Lakeville Fire Department has been

awarded a $1,540 grant to purchase carbon monoxide detectors. Including this year’s grants, the WPS Foundation has donated more than $32,000 to help emergency response agencies in the Minnesota Energy Resources service area since the grant’s inception in 2015. To qualify for a grant, emergency response agencies must demonstrate

the equipment or training they will acquire is part of a well-detailed effort to improve public safety. Organizations may also request a grant to fund safety-related projects if they are unique, one-time efforts. Each grant has a maximum value of $2,000.

The best part of my day To the editor: Last week’s newspaper cover of “Imagine� was well timed, well said, much needed and most of all well done! A free press is not only guaranteed in our Constitution, it is a hallmark of a democratic republic — our Republic. The newspaper is the finest form of reporting to subscribers and citizens the current news of our time. Reporting is held at a higher standard for fact checking, and solid journalism. The feel of a paper in your hands, physically turning pages and reading the news rather than watching the news is for me one of the highlights of my day. In newsprint one can find not only bad news, but also news that can help improve quality of life through community calendars, tips and tricks for healthy living and games. Thank you again for being my local paper who brings me the news in 140 characters or more. You made my day with the cover!

BBB tips for making purchases at the State Fair The Minnesota State Fair is always a sure sign summer is drawing to a close. But in addition to being a great way to cap off a season of fun, it’s also a terrific platform for many businesses to showcase their products, inventions and ideas to enthusiastic fairgoers. The State Fair is an institution, and it’s easy to get swept up in all of the excitement and fun. However, as with all things, Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) advises consumers to take their time and do their due diligence after listening to sales pitches. “Many people wait all year for the State Fair – it’s a tradition,â€? said Susan Adams Loyd, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “It’s also an excellent opportunity for businesses to get in front of potential customers. We just want consumers to make wise purchasing decisions.â€? BBB offers the following tips for consumers who attend the State Fair with an eye on making nonfood related purchases: • Research companies for free at BBB.org.

fifty years after the Civil War we should do the same. No one is suggesting history should not be taught in school.

Immunization events scheduled for adults and children

tion Awareness Month is also the perfect opportunity to make sure adults are protected against diseases like flu, whooping cough, tetanus, shingles and pneumococcal disease. Public Health will host walk-in immunization clinics at Prince of Peace in Burnsville on Mondays in October from 12-2 p.m. for adults who are underinsured or uninsured. The specific vaccines adults need are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, risk conditions, locations of travel, and previous vaccines. All adults should talk to their health care professionals to make sure they are up to date on vaccines recommended for them. Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. When children are not vaccinated they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community – including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions. Talk to your child’s doctor to find out which vaccines are recommended. Parents can find out more about the recommended vaccines at www.cdc.gov/ vaccines/, by visiting www. co.dakota.m.us and searching vaccines for children, or calling Dakota County at 952-891-7999.

To celebrate the importance of immunizations for people of all ages – and make sure children are protected with all the vaccines they need as they go back to school – the Dakota County Public Health Department is joining with partners nationwide in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. Dakota County Public Health offers immunizations for eligible children and adults.

Eagan skate park upgrade delayed Concrete park construction rescheduled for 2018 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Upgrading the skate park in Eagan is on hold. Eagan officials want to do it right, and weren’t confident that was going to happen in 2017. When the project went out for bids, the city received one offer. The price tag was almost 22 percent higher than estimates and the timeline would have allowed a new park to open just a few weeks, at most, before it closed for winter. So, officials decided to reject the bid. “(The timeline) was a little bit optimistic,� said Andrew Pimental, Eagan parks and recreation director. “The biggest part of the delay, once we got into the engagement part of the project, was that we decided to move away from the modular design to an all-concrete park.� Understanding that fall is not a good time to bid for a project, the city gave it a shot anyway. “You never know if you catch the right company,� Pimental said. Concrete cures a little better in the spring anyway, Pimental said. Pimental worked with several high school students on the project. He said while they were initially disappointed, “the fact that we listened to them and went away from the modular to concrete, I think they’re happy we decided

to build a park we’ll be proud to have.� City officials believe rebidding this winter will attract a better timeline and price. Most of the companies that build concrete skate parks are located on the west and east coasts, so that makes it more challenging to draw attractive bids to Minnesota. A new park could open in time for summer break in 2018. It mostly depends on the weather, as long as the city receives competitive bids. The city would need to raze the current park and the ground would

need to be ready for grading in order for construction to begin. “The moment they start moving dirt, it would take four to six weeks, maybe eight depending on weather, to complete,� Pimental said The original park was built in 2001 and hasn’t been updated much since. It’s located at Lexington-Diffley Athletic Field near the water tower. It’s close to both Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School. The city council approved a park improvement plan in 2016. The department is

in the middle of several other large improvement projects for 2017, including reconstruction of the Bridle Ridge Park building, improvements to the Thomas Lake Pavilion, nature trail connections throughout Patrick Eagan Park, a nature-play area at Patrick Eagan Park, Wi-Fi at the Eagan Art House, reconstruction of one of the Goat Hill Park baseball fields and new bike racks throughout Eagan parks. Most are midway or near to completion, Pimental said. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Massage therapist’s license requests denied

FIT Academy cuts ribbon

City: Business drew resident’s complaint by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A massage therapist in Burnsville was denied renewal of her individual license Aug. 22 and denied a separate license naming her the owner of her business, Burnsville Bodyworks. The City Council voted 4-1 to deny Yuanping Huang renewal of her therapeutic massage license and to deny her request for an enterprise massage license to operate the business at 2929 Cliff Road E. The city notified Huang in April it wouldn’t renew her license after learning she was twice denied massage and bodywork licenses in Minneapolis. Burnsville’s massage therapy ordinance allows the city to deny a license if the applicant has had a license denial or revocation in another city or state in the last five years. Huang appealed the decision, triggering appointment of an administrative appeal panel. The members — Director of Administrative Services Dana Hardie, police Capt. Tanya Schwartz and former Planning Commission Chair Jim Bradrick — recommended July 27 denying Huang’s license and her request for the enterprise license. The latter had been held by Patrick Orth, who was listed as the sole owner on Burnsville Bodyworks’ latest license application. Both licenses were set to expire June 30. During its review, the panel delayed expiration until July 31. Huang appealed the panel’s denials to the council and was accompanied Aug. 22 by two attorneys and her daughter. In her renewal application, Huang failed to disclose the two Minneapolis license denials, which occurred during proceedings in 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to the Burnsville panel’s findings. The denials stripped her of individual licensure and her license to run a business called Uptown Bodywork on West Lake Street, the panel said. Letters to Huang in March and February 2015 from Minneapolis’ Licenses and Consumer Services Division said the business had been the

subject of complaints and used seductive images of young women in its ads. The complaints and ads made it appear she intended to operate the business unlawfully, the city said. Ads for Burnsville Bodywork also appeared on Backpage. com, with “provocative photos of massage therapists,� some with a man on a massage table, according to findings in a Minneapolis city hearing on Orth’s 2016 application to license a business called Massage Meadows. A nearby resident of the Burnsville business complained to the city about after-hours customers at its back-door entrance, said Chris Forslund, the city’s licensing and code enforcement coordinator. A phone number on the door matched the number in ads on Backpage.com and Craigslist, Forslund said. The Minneapolis findings said that Huang, who was an employee of Orth’s, used aliases on internet postings to “recruit Chinese women from different states with promises of making unrealistic amounts of money, which leads our office to believe Ms. Huang is fraudulently luring women to the massage industry in Minnesota.� She confirmed during testimony in a Division of Business Licensing hearing that she recruited by phone women from New York and California to come to Minnesota, claiming they could make $7,000 a month working in a massage parlor, the findings said. Matthew Streff, one of her attorneys, told the Burnsville council that Huang’s claims of $7,000 a month might be “exaggerations� but are not unattainable. The Burnsville Bodyworks ads with young women were “perhaps in poor taste,� but Huang has taken them down, Streff said. He urged Burnsville not to “replicate� Minneapolis’ “overly harsh� conclusions based on “poor-tasting ads and some unreasonable salary expectations.� Huang has “no major criminal history� and been found guilty of nothing more than “minor traffic violations,� Streff said in a filing in

Huang’s appeal before the Burnsville administrative panel. He said the city’s authority to deny a license to an applicant who has been denied elsewhere in the last five years is “overly punitive.� Huang graduated from a California beauty college in 2011 after completing a nine-month program in massage, according to Streff. As a massage therapist, the single mother is devoted to helping people relieve pain and stress, Streff said. He suggested Huang be fined for incomplete reporting on her Burnsville license renewal application, but not denied her livelihood. Council Member Cara Schulz cast the lone vote against denying Huang’s license requests. “I think in order to take away someone’s livelihood the threshold needs to be exceedingly high,� Schulz said. “And just to cut to the meat of it, she hasn’t been arrested for prostitution, and that’s kind of what we’re stepping around ... Do we think she’s a prostitute or not, or do we think she’s a massage therapist?� Schulz said she wouldn’t vote to take Huang’s livelihood based on “accusing someone of a crime before a crime has happened.� Randall Tigue, an attorney for Huang, said she would appeal in court if denied her license requests. Council Member Dan Kealey said Schulz’s concerns are valid but beyond the council’s purview. He suggested denying the license requests but staying the denial pending court review. City Attorney Joel Jamnik said Huang’s appeal could take a year or two. Kealey withdrew his suggestion. After the 4-1 vote, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz suggested that Huang might practice massage in a city without Burnsville’s “stringent review� and “culture.� Burnsville Bodyworks is the third massage business Burnsville has closed based on license violations, according to officials.

Notebook: Leidner gets a chance with the Vikings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It didn’t necessarily happen the way he hoped, but Mitch Leidner is in the NFL. The former Lakeville South High School and University of Minnesota quarterback signed with the Vikings on Sunday and reported to their preseason workouts in Eden Prairie. Before getting the call from the Vikings, Leidner had been working out in the Twin Cities and helping at Lakeville South practices. He becomes the fifth quarterback in Vikings camp. The others are starter Sam Bradford, backups Case Keenum and Taylor Heinicke, and Teddy Bridgewater, who remains on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from a knee injury sustained in the 2016 preseason. The team isn’t likely to keep more than three on the active roster once the regular season starts, and much will depend on when Bridgewater is ready to come off the PUP list. As of Wednesday, the Vikings had not said whether Leidner would play in their preseason game against San Francisco at 7 p.m. Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings’ final preseason game is Thursday, Aug 31, against Miami, also at home. “I think I bring a lot of athleticism and size to the position,” Leidner (6foot-4, 230 pounds) told Vikings.com. “I feel like I’m pretty smart and can get a quick understanding of what they’re trying to do on offense here and really understand the playbook. And hopefully the faster I can learn it, the quicker I can get out there and actually take some

I think those are probably things he probably struggles with the most, being his accuracy. So that’s the big thing, getting out here and get timing with these receivers and be accurate.” At Minnesota, Leidner was second all-time with 590 completions and third in passing yards with 7,287. His 33 rushing touchdowns are the most in Gophers history by a quarterback.

But they’re good conversation-starters, so here goes: South Suburban Conference teams occupy the top three spots in the Class 3A volleyball preseason rankings. Eagan is No. 1, which should be no surprise considering the Wildcats are coming off back-to-back state championships. Second is Prior Lake, a state tournament qualifier in 2016, and third is Lakeville North, which was Section 1 runner-up last year. The state coaches association, which does the volleyball rankings, also put SSC member Shakopee at No. 8. Lakeville South is sixth and Farmington 11th in the state Class AA girls cross country rankings.

Two South Suburban Conference runners were in the individual top 10 – Luke Labatte of Rosemount (seventh) and Trenton Allen of Eagan (ninth).

Express, Bandits out of state tourney Elko falls in 20-inning marathon by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Officially, Elko played one game at the state Class B baseball tournament, but it was equivalent to more than two. The Express and Brooklyn Park tied a record for the longest state tourney game Sunday, playing 20 innings and more than six hours before Brooklyn Park pushed across a run to win 4-3 at Norwood and advance to the double-elimination phase of the tournament. The loss ended the season for Elko, which finished 29-14 in its first state appearance since 2014. Also losing in the first round were the Eagan Bandits, who fell to the St. Cloud Beaudreau’s Saints 8-0 on Sunday in Norwood. Elko took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning against Brooklyn Park. The Norsemen responded with two in the bottom of the fourth and the teams traded runs in the eighth. The game’s next run didn’t arrive for 12 more innings. If it’s possible to pitch a complete game in relief, then Elko’s Dylan Thomas, a Lakeville North High School graduate, did it. Thomas, the third Elko pitcher used in the game, came on in the eighth and pitched nine innings, holding Brooklyn Park to two hits and no runs. He had 10 strikeouts. Mike Mehlich pitched the first seven innings allowing two runs and four hits. Nick Bentley pitched to two batters and was charged with an unearned run before being replaced by Thomas. Another former Lakeville North

player, Grant Gunderson, pitched the final three innings for Elko. Two Elko hitters, third baseman Kyle Kraska and center fielder Ash Larsen, had nine at bats each in the marathon. Left fielder Jason Grimm, a former Burnsville High School player, went 4-for8, including a double and home run, and drove in all three Elko runs. Mitch Frederick was 3-for-6 and Thomas hit two doubles. Two St. Cloud Beaudreau’s pitchers combined on a one-hitter in their team’s opening-round victory over Eagan. St. Cloud Beaudreau’s scored four runs in the top of the second inning and was not threatened after that. Infielder Collin Olstad had the only hit for Eagan, which played in the state tourney for the fifth time in six years.

Class C tourney The New Market Muskies advanced in the state Class C tournament with a 4-0 victory over Dumont on Sunday in a first-round game at Hamburg. The Class C tourney has 48 teams and is singleelimination. Next up for New Market is a secondround game against Kimball at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, in Norwood. Nate Rost pitched a one-hitter with no walks and 10 strikeouts for New Market, which took the lead with a three-run third inning. Shortstop Scott Lyden, a former Apple Valley High School player, was 2-for-4 with one run scored and two driven in. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

tastic stopping point for walkers and bikers,” Atkins said. “It really tells the history of this area. When we’re no longer here to tell the story, his story will still be told.” He said he’s heard from longtime neighbors of the monument who are thrilled that it could be put back up. The county will hear about its Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant after Sept. 15, which is when applications are due. The rest

of the funding for the installation would be part of 2018 CIP program budget. “As we’ve learned in recent weeks, monuments matter,” Atkins said. If the grant is approved, Atkins expects it to be reinstalled next summer. “From the ashes it may rise,” Atkins said.

SOTAROL, from 1A SotaRol is a fast-casual Asian restaurant, primarily serving Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The restaurant combines “innovative Asian flavors with an Up North appeal.” The menu features a sushi-burrito, similar to a large maki roll, dubbed the “SotaRito.” Switz’s professional chefs wrap rice, vegetables and a protein of the customer’s choice in a flexible and tasteless soypaper shell. Switz said that because they do not use nori, the SotaRito is easy to eat and free from the seaweed flavor that often turns people away from sushi. Although the restaurant was originally marketed as a sushi restaurant, more than 85 percent of menu items are created for people who don’t like sushi. In addition to traditional and nontraditional sushi rolls, the extensive menu offers rice bowls and salads. Customers can choose from raw fish, cooked meats or vegetarian options. SotaRol also serves sliders, tater tots and other side dishes, as well as gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and Yogurt Lab ice cream. “There’s nothing bad in our food. We don’t use fillers,” Switz said. “We are offering people the quality that they would get at a high-end restaurant; we’re just delivering something to them quicker, faster and at a lower price point.” Switz and his business partner, Mikel Asp, began thinking of new restaurant ideas in May 2014, after opening their second Agra Culture restaurant. As the business grew, Switz began envisioning a new line of fast-casual sushi restaurants. “I’d been to San Francisco and seen some of these concepts, like the sushi burrito,” Switz said. “I thought it would be cool, and I love sushi, so we started a drawing board of names and marketing.” When a space opened up next door to Agra Culture on 50th and France in Edina in 2015, he decided to build the restaurants. After six months of planning and developing the menu, Switz and Asp opened the first SotaRol restaurant. Since then, the partners have opened four more locations: Stadium Village and Uptown in Minneapolis, and Apple Valley and Eagan. Most SotaRol restaurants have been built in spaces previously occupied by Yogurt Lab. “While Yogurt Lab is really seasonal, SotaRol is an all-year restaurant,” Switz said. “The square footage worked out perfectly. It fit in that space

really well.” While the market for SotaRol aligns with Minnesota’s seasonal weather better than an ice cream shop, the unique business faces challenges of its own. Switz said many of SotaRol’s main challenges come hand-in-hand with its strengths. He said although fast-casual Asian dining is an underdeveloped market with room for growth, most Americans have a limited understanding of the products and services provided. “No one’s really had Japanese fast-casual, so that in itself is a challenge because people aren’t used to it. They’ve been trained to go into a nice restaurant and sit down to eat these kinds of foods,” Swtiz said. “And, sushiburritos are a completely new product. No one really knows what they are or what to expect.” Switz said that getting people into the restaurant for the first time is the most important step for the growth of his business. “This is the exciting part: We get to tell people about our product, bring them in and let them try it, and in the next 30 years that audience will grow and we will grow along with it,” Switz said. “We look at it like a marathon, not a sprint. We came into this knowing there is a limited market for just sushi, so that’s why we wanted to offer all the other options.” After the initial struggle of getting people in the door, Switz said he usually sees sales double in the first two and a half years in his businesses. He said growth has been steady and proportional across locations. “We are excited about the next 20 or 30 years,” he said. “Millennials have a wider palate range. They like spice, they like trying new things and they like the ability to get things at a reasonable price quickly. And, people also want some level of embedded health in their food because they are eating out more. We do all of that.” As the five existing SotaRol restaurants gain in popularity, Switz said he is beginning to look at possible locations for expansion. He is already in the process of bring a SotaRol stand to Target Field. Switz said the chefs are always happy to recommend meals to customers, especially those coming in for the first time. The new resturants are located at 7394 W. 153rd St. in Apple Valley and 2000 Rahncliff Court in Eagan. Both locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

CENTER, from 1A

comprehensive plan have called for a study of the Burnsville Center area’s future. “Our citizens and our visitors are also noticing dark spaces within the mall,� Kautz said. “For me, it is important for Burnsville to help, to encourage the property owners, to make sure that this property doesn’t go dark.� Kautz, whose solo action to enter the Mayors Challenge raised some eyebrows among her City Council colleagues, took the action at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami Beach. She is a past conference president, member of the board of trustees and chair of the conference’s Finance and Audit Committee. As one of the first 300 cities to respond, Burnsville secured a Bloomberg-paid consultant visit to the city. Kautz said the consultant will meet with city officials and others to prepare the city for the next step in the Mayors Challenge — applying for cash awards to help cities tackle their challenges. In October, Bloomberg Philanthropies will announce cash awards of $5 million to a grand prize-winning city and $1 million to four others. Awards of $100,000 will go to 35 other cities. The money will help cities

The consultant will be in Burnsville Sept. 11, Kautz said. Burnsville Center general manager Joe Duperre will attend, along with an executive vice president of development for Tennesseebased mall owner CBL & Associates Properties, Kautz said. (Macy’s, JCPenney and Seritage, a real estate investment trust, also own parts of the mall, she said.)

Others attendees will include Burnsville Chamber of Commerce President Jennifer Harmening, Experience Burnsville Executive Director Amie Burrill, city planning commissioners Vince Workman and Jim Bradrick, Economic Development Commission member Jeff LaFavre, City Council Member Dan Kealey and city staffers Jenni Faulkner and Skip Nienhaus, Kautz said. “You have to have a group of people coming

together to help be intentional and proactive about what we need to do,� the mayor said. “I’m just excited that we have a consultant. Having a consultant allows us to have some insight into how we can write a successful grant application,� she said. Council Member Kealey called the Bloomberg program “a great grant opportunity that we shouldn’t pass up.� But Council Member Dan Gustafson criticized Kautz’s solo action
