Candidates square off at forum by Andrew Miller

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Candidates in local elections had a chance to share their views, and question their opponents, at a forum Oct. 14 held at the Old Chicago confer-ence center in Apple Val-ley. The event, hosted by the Apple Valley Cham-ber of Commerce and moderated by Carole Elfstrum of Elfstrum Consulting, featured can-didates in the races for House districts 57A and 57B, Apple Valley City Council, and the Apple Valley mayor’s seat. The forum’s format had candidates deliver a one-minute opening state-ment and field two ques-tions from the moderator. Candidates were then al-lowed to ask their oppo-nents one question. The forum for Apple Valley City Council can-didates featured incum-bents John Bergman and Clint Hooppaw, along with challenger Juan Montoya. The election will see Apple Valley vot-ers choosing two candi-dates from the field of three. Montoya, an employ-ee at Northern Tool and Equipment who’s mak-ing his first bid for elected office, had an interesting approach at the forum — high praise for his oppo-nents and for city govern-ment. He described Bergman and Hooppaw as “fantas-tic guys.” Regarding the state of the city, “noth-ing’s broken,” he said. “I don’t think any-thing’s wrong with the city,” Montoya said. As for his role on the City Council if elected, “I think I could help.” Bergman, who’s served on the council 12 years, framed the City Council election as a referendum on the current council as a whole, noting that the five current council members — Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, Tom Goodwin, Ruth Grendahl, Hoop-paw and himself — work

effectively as a team. “It’s not based on one individual,” Bergman said.

A study in

contrasts The forum for Apple Valley’s mayoral can-didates — longtime in-cumbent Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and challenger Gene Rechtzi-gel — offered some strik-ing contrasts. In her remarks, Ha-mann-Roland empha-sized the city’s strengths and current state of sta-bility — Apple Valley’s triple-A bond rating, and

its designation by Money magazine as one of the “most livable cities in America.” Rechtzigel, on the other hand, suggested a complete overhaul to the process by which the City Council makes decisions — having a campaign as-sistant hold up a display board detailing his plans — and an overhaul to the office of mayor. “My top priority as mayor would be to change the office of mayor,” said Rechtzigel, noting that he’d recommend having mayoral elections every two years instead of every four.

House races The race in House District 57A — which in-cludes most of Apple Val-ley and a portion of Lake-ville — has third-term state Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, facing DFLer Bruce Folken, for-mer chairman of Apple Valley’s Beyond the Yel-low Ribbon military as-sistance group. Folken said some of the issues key to his cam-paign are reform to work-man’s comp, taxes, and the permitting process for building projects. Mack said her focus at

Holiday market coming to Apple Valley

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Those who’ve made a weekly ritual of stopping by the farmers market outside the Apple Val-ley Municipal Center in the summer months have something to look forward to this winter. The St. Paul Farmers Market, which hosts the outdoor market in Apple Valley, announced last week it will be holding indoor market events at the Redwood Community Center starting Nov. 20. Dubbed the “Holiday Market,” the event will run from 3-7 p.m. every Thurs-day, Nov. 20 through Jan. 22, with the exception of holidays. “St. Paul has had a win-ter market for about 10 years, and they’re starting to pop up around the Twin Cities,” said Jack Gerten, director of the St. Paul Farmers Market. Gerten was on hand at the City Council meeting Oct. 9 to showcase some of the market’s products for council members. As part of the organization’s emphasis on “local grow-ers,” vendors can only sell items produced in Minne-

High school prank gone wrong

by Andy RogersSUN THISWEEK


Part of a “war” be-tween the junior and se-nior class took a turn for the worse in many ways during Farmington High School’s homecoming. The Farmington Police Department reported that as part of a prank involv-ing a group of 17 seniors, four juniors’ hands were zip-tied and two juniors were forced into a trunk and two in the back seat of a car. The group piled into a number of cars and went for a joyride on Sept. 27. The joy may have never started for the juniors, but it came to an end for everyone when two of the cars in the caravan col-lided. There were no inju-ries and minimal property damage. The individuals scat-tered and the juniors were long gone by the time po-lice officers arrived. From there, the police department realized it was more than a fender bend-er. Farmington Chief of Police Brian Lindquist said he suspects the indi-viduals were cooperative

Draped in Quilts of Valor

Eagan resident has quilt made for her hero brotherby Sue Austreng


Eagan resident Rose Dukatz sees her older brother as her hero. “He’s my brother, my father, my best friend,” Dukatz said, describing the heroic role Richard Hirschey played in her life as the two were raised by a single mother in South Minneapolis in the 1940s. Rich cared for Rose, 11 years his junior, while their mother worked long hours doing manual la-bor to make ends meet. He’d make sure she got to school and that she did her homework. He would prepare meals and take care of things around the house. He would take Rose on his bicycle to watch him play baseball. “He gave me every-thing. When Mom was gone, he’d watch me, take care of me ... He was my brother, my father, my best friend,” Rose said. Rose will tell you Rich, a resident of Coon Rapids since 1958, fits the hero bill in more ways than just as her older brother. He vol-unteered for the draft at 18 years old, then served dur-ing the Korean War as an infantry soldier. “I carried a submachine gun, I guess you could call it. Weighed 24 pounds fully loaded, shoots 650 rounds per minute ... We prepared continually for war,” said Rich. “But I’m not a hero, I’m just one of 30,000 other guys doing

what we were trained to do, doing what we had to do.” Following his military service, Rich went to Dun-woody and then worked as a sheetmetal worker, spending 17 years serving as an officer on the health and welfare committee fighting for, among other things, equal benefits for women. He’s also fought for a better life for children in the world’s impoverished countries, sponsoring chil-dren “who do not have the luxury we have in this country,” Rose said. Rose wanted her broth-er to have evidence of his heroic ways in her life and in the lives of others, so she presented him with a handmade Quilts of Valor quilt late last month. “He is a humble man who doesn’t think he has done anything special for someone else. I can’t be-gin to tell you the impact he has had on my life and many he has come in con-tact with over the years,” said Rose, a prolific seam-stress who learned of the Quilts of Valor Founda-tion from a quilting friend. “It’s the most beautiful thing, isn’t it?” Rich said, his hands resting on the red, white and blue, star-stitched quilt draped over him in his Coon Rapids living room last week. Rose chose the fabric and did the piecing and stitching for her brother’s quilt. The quilting was done by Cheri Berrisford

of the Quilting Cottage. Quilting to honor and comfort those touched by war, Quilts of Valor was created by Blue Star Mom Catherine Roberts after her son returned from a year-long deployment in Iraq in 2003. The mission of the foundation is to cover ser-vice members and veter-ans touched by war with comforting and healing handmade quilts. “Quilts of Valor are stitched with love, prayers and healing thoughts,” Rose said. “Our troops who have been touched by war are awarded this tangible token of appre-ciation that unequivocally says, ‘Thank you for your service, sacrifice and val-or.’ “Of everything I’ve ever sewed, this was the most emotional ... Lots of love went into it,” Rose said. Quilts are awarded at many different levels; some go to military hospi-tals where chaplains award them to service members; they may be awarded at VAs or individually; they may be awarded to entire service units returning from deployment. As of August 2014, more than 105,000 quilts have been awarded by Quilts of Valor. To learn more about Quilts of Valor, visit QOVF.org.

Lowell Huber Memorial Ride

The rumble of motorcycle engines paid sonic tribute to a former Apple Valley Ameri-can Legion post commander on Sept. 28 during the Lowell Huber Memorial Ride. Huber, a four-time post commander, died in March; to honor his memory, the Ameri-can Legion organized a benefit ride with proceeds going to Huber’s favorite charity, Apple Valley’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, a program which aims to assist military service members, veterans and their families. More than 110 bikers and two school buses of participants joined in the ride, which traveled through Jordan, Lonsdale and Henderson. Taking part were Huber’s widow, Analia (center), and their daughter, Kimberly Huber Santucci (left). (Photo submitted)

Election letters The Oct. 23 and 24 editions of the Dakota County Tribune and Sun Thisweek are the last edi-tions for election-related letters. Letters that re-spond to information in a previous letter will be considered for print in the Oct. 30 and 31 editions.

Supports Hooppaw for City Council To the editor: As the Parks and Rec-reation director for the city of Apple Valley from 1986 through 2012, I had an opportunity to work closely with City Council Member Clint Hooppaw for a number of years. Clint serves Apple Valley with wonderful attitude and a strong ability to manage people and poli-cies. He is the definition of a true public servant, he brings no preconceived notions or axes to grind to the City Council. Clint is well educated in fiscal matters and can be trusted to do what is best for Apple Valley. He treats citizens and staff members with respect and dignity. He is a proven leader with a great track record. We are very fortunate to have a man of his caliber in of-fice.

RANDY JOHNSONApple Valley

Re-elect Mayor Mary To the editor: Let’s join to re-elect Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland in November to the Apple Valley City Council. Mayor Mary is hard-working and effective. Businesses are expanding. City services and infra-structure are top notch.

Doesn’t that look like success? I think so. Apple Valley has been rated na-tionally as one of the top places to live. Here in Apple Valley our Mayor Mary and our City Council work hard representing all of us and achieve reasonable, sus-tainable, cost effective so-lutions, together. Gridlock is decried in politics. Why would we choose that over what we have?

JIM SHELDONApple Valley

Voters should review Wills’ voting record To the editor: A recent letter writer praised state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, for sponsoring a funding bill for the Minnesota Zoo, but seemed unaware that Wills voted against that same funding. This bait and switch is not unique in Wills’ voting record. In the past two years she has sponsored or co-

sponsored at least eight bills which she then voted against. A brief overview of her actual votes in the past two years might tell us who Wills really repre-sents. Veterans? Wills voted against funding her own bill to aid veterans in cri-sis. Students? Wills voted against: the K-12 educa-tion budget; funding for higher education; estab-lishing anti-bullying poli-cies; improved funding for school lunches; and having schools stock emergency allergy medication. Consumers? Wills vot-ed against: kill switches to discourage cellphone theft; and regulations on short-term lenders. Working people? Wills voted against: raising the minimum wage; child care workers making their own decision to unionize or not; and allowing citizens to set her salary. Families? Wills voted against: access to afford-able health care for all Minnesotans; the Health

and Human Services bud-get; and marriage equality. If voters are still asking who Wills is for, it prob-ably isn’t them. MARYKAY CARTERRosemount

Wills supports interchange reconstructionTo the editor: A Minnesota Depart-ment of Transportation study was conducted in 2002 that identified several safety and traffic problems associated with the High-way 52 and County Road 42 interchange. There is no left turn lane on County Road 42 for a driver trying to ac-cess Highway 52 north. The amount of westbound traffic during rush hour frequently causes backups since vehicles continuing eastbound cannot get past the vehicles waiting to turn. This interchange has several other visibility problems, i.e. turning onto eastbound 42 from the 52 south exit, and should be considered for upgrades. State Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, working with Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste, was the chief author a bill during 2013 (House File 1368) to ob-tain $25 million in state funding to reconstruct the 52 and 42 interchange. Amazingly this bill was not even given a hearing by the DFL controlled Minnesota House. Wills is focused on the right priorities and is not giving up and will con-tinue to seek the funding needed to fix this long recognized transportation problem. This problem was recognized 12 years

ago and it is way past time to do something about it. Her support of district is-sues is why I am support-ing Wills for re-election to House District 57B.

TIMOTHY HAYESRosemount

Bergman works well with others To the editor: This Nov. 4 Apple Val-ley residents will be given the opportunity to decide two council positions that are open for election. Of the three candidates who have filed for the oppor-tunity to serve our city I believe one of the most qualified in showing con-sistency at putting the needs of the voters and our community is John Bergman. Since his election to the council in 2002, we have seen many positive improvements in how ef-fective the city is being managed. In 2014, the city received two triple A bond ratings, which very few cit-ies can achieve these days. The city was ranked 17th Best City of America in 2013 by Money Magazine, how great is it to be in the top 20 in the nation? Berg-man has proven experi-ence as a council member, serving for the past 12 years. He is experienced, qualified and dedicated to providing leadership and serving the best interests of our city. He also holds a position on the Metropoli-tan Airports Commission Noise Oversight Commit-tee. He works closely with the mayor, council, city staff, School District 196 and chamber. As the saying goes, “if it’s not broke, don’t try and fix it.” Re-elect John Bergman on Nov. 4.

PAT LaBONTEApple Valley

Hooppaw seeks improvements To the editor: I have known Clint Hooppaw for several years, both profession-ally and personally. When we worked together, I saw how deeply involved he was in Apple Valley Ro-tary, and to this day, he still is. He doesn’t just be-long to an organization for social commitments; he is dedicated to helping and growing. That also is true with Clint’s involvement in the Apple Valley City Council. What I have noticed with Clint is that he is al-

ways willing to listen and learn about any issues, not make impulsive decisions, but provides direction and works hard to do what is right for the parties in-volved. Clint has been a City Council member for four years and in those four years, we have had several areas of accom-plishment. How many people in other cities can say that they have not had large special assessments added to their property taxes for street improvements? This is the result of the City Council action on funding street replacements with tax levy dollars instead of assessing property owners. We have been fortunate to have a City Council who puts the community first and is thinking to keep new and creative ideas in the forefront. Clint is reviewing a two-year budget for our city. This is the first time this has been done. As they plan in advance, they will be able to do a better job of keeping our taxes stable and avoiding un-pleasant surprises. Prior to 2012, the city contracted for engineering services. By bringing that in house, we have saved not only ac-countability on projects, but also a 6-figure savings. Clint is working hard for long-term and immedi-ate improvements. These long-term improvements will continue to make a difference years after our current City Council has left office. We need Clint Hooppaw to continue serving on the City Coun-cil for years to come.

LOUISE COAUETTEApple Valley

Mayor Mary for re-electionTo the editor: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland on both the community and business level, and can-not speak highly enough about her. For the past 26 years I have been a small business owner as president of Mc-Cormick Computer Re-sale Inc. in Apple Valley. My wife, Sue, and I have been Apple Valley residents for 33 years. We have raised three children whom attended Apple Valley public schools. While my children attend-ed Eastview High School I was the Eastview Commu-nity Foundation President and Eastview Athletic As-sociation president.

OpinionFolks will get a fairer shake from Obermueller In a healing but still perilous economy, residents of Minnesota’s 2nd Congres-sional District would get a better shot at prosperity under policies promoted by the challenger in the Nov. 4 election — Democrat Mike Obermueller. Students, wage-earners, immigrants, people needing affordable health care, seniors and people nearing retirement would get a fairer shake from Obermuel-ler than from the incumbent, Republican John Kline. Obermueller also appears more will-ing to seize whatever middle ground is to be had in a fractious Congress, though Kline — now a powerful committee chair — has made bipartisan strides over his six-term career while bringing con-siderable influence to issues important to his district, such as No Child Left Be-hind and federal job-training programs. Between two capable candidates and a neophyte — Paula Overby, running under the Independence Party banner — our endorsement goes to Obermueller, who lost to Kline two years ago. The ambitious, 41-year-old Eagan at-torney is finally paying off all his student loans, even as he and his wife consider a near future as empty-nesters. Raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm, he worked his way through college and law school before settling in Eagan, where he’s been active in the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Knights of Columbus, the Eagan Art Festival and the Eagan Athletic Association.

Obermueller served one term in the state House of Representatives, elected in 2008 and swept from his swing-district seat two years later when Republicans gained control of the House. As a DFL legislator he voted against several of his party’s tax-raising initiatives but for a vetoed 2009 budget fix that would have imposed $1 billion in new taxes on the state’s highest earners. As we said two years ago, Obermuel-ler’s views and political instincts are a re-buke of the obstructionism that has dis-credited the Republican House majority in Washington. His leading pitch in this election is shoring up the middle class, which in-cludes supporting a $10.10 federal mini-mum wage. It’s a fitting message for a district that still tilts Republican (Kline won 54 percent of the vote in 2012) but has grown more diverse since political boundaries were redrawn after 2010. Obermueller stands with the Afford-able Care Act, which Kline and House Republicans have tried to repeal or gut, while rightly criticizing its disastrous rollout and shortage of cost-controlling reforms. “What the Affordable Care Act has done is bend the cost curve down some-what in terms of the overall cost for health care,” Obermueller told ECM Publishers

news staffers in Dakota County. “Those numbers are coming down compared to where they would have been without it.” He says clamping down on Medicare and Medicaid fraud and ending pork-barrel defense spending that doesn’t strengthen our forces would yield savings better directed to making college more affordable, fully funding the federal gov-ernment’s obligation for special educa-tion and fixing infrastructure. He opposes the “premium-support,” or voucher, model of Medicare that Kline and House Republicans have voted for. To shore up Social Security, he would remove the cap on payroll taxes for peo-ple earning at least $350,000 a year. He supports getting undocumented immigrants “out of the shadows” by clearing a path to citizenship. He wants to cut the corporate tax rate, a rare instance of agreement with his chief opponent. Kline, a retired Marine Corps colonel who lives in Burnsville, is reliably con-servative and proud of it. Deep divisions in the country and in Congress, coupled with an abundance of safe House seats, make legislating a struggle, he said. “My message is that despite that angst and gridlock, I have been delivering bi-partisan legislation that’s been signed into law to benefit my constituents,” Kline said. As chairman of the House Education and the Workforce committee, Kline was instrumental in last year’s passage of the

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, which streamlined a bulky array of federal workforce training programs. He led efforts to curtail a federal col-lege-loan interest rate hike and tie the rate to the 10-year Treasury benchmark. The successful legislation earned him a rare visit to a White House signing cer-emony with President Obama. Critics charge that Kline is too cozy with the for-profit colleges, some of whose business and recruiting tactics and suspect degree programs have drawn fire from several quarters, including the Obama administration, U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin and Minnesota’s own attorney general. Kline, admitting there may be some bad apples, strongly defends the for-prof-it industry as a nimble, career-focused cog in the higher-educaton system. He has pushed back against administration efforts to tie “gainful employment” stan-dards to eligibility for federal student aid. We wish Kline would dedicate a frac-tion of the effort to reforming an indus-try that has left too many students ill-prepared and debt-burdened that he has to defending business as usual. Overby, the Independence candidate, jumped to the third party after failing to defeat Obermueller in a DFL endorse-ment contest. Hers is largely a campaign of dissent against the influence of money and corporate interests on politics.

Letters

Mayor Mary’s dedica-tion to make Apple Valley a better place to work and live is clear with every ac-tion that she takes. Both my community and busi-ness continue to grow due to the support that Mayor Mary has shown. I’m am pleased to say that I am endorsing May-or Mary. On Nov. 4, there is no doubt in who I will be voting for.

Wills supports veteransTo the editor: I just want to say how much I appreciate state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley. Last year she voted for the bonding bill that supported funding for our Minnesota state veterans homes. Minnesota has five state Veterans Homes (formerly called Old Sol-diers Homes) that provide 24/7 skilled nursing in ar-eas such as dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, domicili-ary care, rehabilitation ser-vices, recreational therapy, work therapy, and other needs of our veterans. These five state homes were in desperate need of repair and update. I am very thankful for the way Minnesota treats its military veterans. My brother had taken in a homeless person from an-other state who had served in World War II. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and only had about a year to live. Being a veteran myself, I knew of programs that would help this person. Even though this person did not have his military record, the Minnesota state Veterans Homes took him in and cared for him. The care he received was above and beyond the minimum re-quired and made this man who served his country feel loved and wanted. He died a few months later, not alone in a shelter but

among other veterans and staff who understand what it is to serve your country. I thank Anna for being one of those people who understands what it is to give back to those who gave so much.

Eagan Relay walker goes to Congress To the editor: I traveled to Washing-ton, D.C., recently to join more than 600 American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network volun-teers from across the coun-try urging Congress to support lifesaving policies that help people prevent and fight cancer. I called on lawmakers to protect federal fund-ing for cancer research and prevention programs, co-sponsor legislation to improve patient quality of life and remove cost bar-riers to colorectal cancer screenings for seniors. I met with Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobu-char, and made it clear that Congress needs to put partisanship aside on behalf of cancer patients and nearly 14 million can-cer survivors in the United States and make cancer a top national priority. I let our lawmakers know that people and families touched by cancer in Minnesota and in every state across are counting on them to support legisla-tion that would help make cancer history. With one in two men and one in three women being diagnosed with cancer in their life-time, we can’t let another year pass without making the fight against cancer a national priority. I know I made a differ-ence, and I encourage ev-eryone to get involved and make their voice heard.

Immigration, the Constitution To the editor: This letter is on behalf of every legal immigrant who has in the past ap-plied for permission to en-ter the USA. It was a laborious pro-cess that required among other things proving that they were of good moral standing, had no criminal record and would not be-come a charge of the USA citizen (taxpayer). After entering the country they were required to support themselves and their fam-ily. In addition they were expected to assimilate into society which meant their willingness to learn the English language as a foundation to achieve that. The help to do that was, at best, confined to evening classes for im-migrants (ESL in today’s terms). No other consid-erations or privileges were expected or given. We ap-plied ourselves, gratefully, to have been given the op-portunity. Most of all we understood that we were expected to be lawful, that is to say we understood that the Constitution of the United States governed every one of us. It was not a living document to be adjusted or changed based on some activist’s idea of what should be an adjust-ment to our “enlightened” 21st century mores. Our Founding Fathers knew what they were do-ing and were blessed with insight and integrity that few (I don’t know of any) politicians, or dare I say statesmen, are endowed with. Our present White House is devoid of the re-quirements that our Con-stitution calls for. Their lawlessness can be traced on a daily basis. I refer you, for starters to above immi-grant requirements. Can we really afford a govern-ment that does not believe in the truths imbedded in the Constitution? There is a saying that goes like this: People will always get the

government they deserve. Do you deserve what we have now?

HENRY JANDEWERTHEagan

Celebration Church planted as Assemblies of God To the editor: This is a statement from Lowell Lundstrom Min-istries and Celebration Church. Celebration Church, al-though it is only 18 years old, represents a legacy that goes back 57 years to the vision of evangelist Lowell Lundstrom. After many years of great evan-gelistic efforts, he planted the Celebration Church to function as a local As-semblies of God ministry to the greater Minneapolis area. Through the mission outreach of the church, thousands have also been touched around the world through the compassion and generosity of the church. Today, though the church has endured a difficult pastoral transi-tion, the ministry of Cel-ebration Church continues steadfastly in the same vi-sion that began the work. Many of the leaders, board members and elders provide a continuity of leadership that goes back to the establishment of the church. At the same time, new leaders have been raised up to support the vision. The mandates of the Great Commission re-main the same in the 21st century as when Christ walked the earth. Celebra-tion Church is committed to sharing his good news wherever there is a recep-tive heart to receive it.

MNsure rate to rise for sure To the editor: Gov. Mark Dayton and other MNsure proponents have been proclaiming a “4.5 percent” increase in health insurance rates for next year. Even if that figure were true, the state’s report estimates an average 34 percent DE-CREASE in premiums by 2016. Right from the Min-nesota Commerce Depart-ment website, here’s how they came up with 4.5 per-cent, (along with ignoring that the largest and lowest cost commercial provider, PreferredOne, is dropping out). “The average rate in-crease for the four com-panies that participated in MNsure last year and this year is 4.5 percent, rang-ing from a decrease of -9.07 percent to increases of 1.8, 8.12, and 17.15 percent.” And as reported, Commerce Department spokeswoman Anne O’Connor said a weight-ed average wouldn’t have been accurate due to Pre-ferredOne’s absence. But it would have been closer to the truth. The average of disparate averages is of no mathematical value. It is a meaningless number ex-cept in politics. State officials have stated that averages are just a snapshot. Encour-aging consumers to go to the MNsure exchange to get firm cost estimates for 2015. Unfortunately, the actual rates from the ex-change won’t be available until after the election. A better picture of the new rates comes from the Commerce Department itself. Depending on age and plan, premiums on the lowest cost, most pop-ular plans will increase from 18 to 37 percent for Twin Cities area residents. KEVIN SCHLEPPENBACHApple Valley

Send McFadden to Washington,To the editor: I was disappointed to be informed by my em-ployer that as a part-time employee ineligible for the company-sponsored health insurance, under the provisions of Obam-acare I can no longer be enrolled in the medical flexible spending plan. The direct impact to me is an additional $2,000 to $3,000 per year in federal and state income taxes. I receive no benefits from Obamacare that would help offset this. When I spoke with representatives of our two sitting senators at the Minnesota State Fair, they acknowledged problems with Obamacare that need addressing. Obamacare was signed into law over four years ago – how much longer will it take? Our most recently elected sena-tor, Al Franken, eagerly voted for Obamacare, yet has not been interested in responding to my con-cerns following my con-tact with his office. I also contacted the office of our other senator and got no response. Obviously, countless other part-time employ-ees with companies such as Walmart, Home Depot and Target are similarly affected. I did receive in-quiry from Mike McFad-den wanting to know about my situation. I am thinking it’s time to send U.S. Senate can-didate Mike McFadden to Washington and give him opportunity to affect positive change with this and other matters. Mike McFadden is the one who has shown interest in my concerns. RAY YARWOODEagan

Sun peeks out for animal blessing in Rosemount

The Rev. Paul Jarvis, pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church, gathers with some friends at the Blessing of the Animals on Oct. 4. (Photo contributed by Matt Weber Photog-raphy)

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK


People may take for granted the ways in which the pets entrusted to their care enhance their daily lives. From dogs encouraging their owners to take them on walks to cats perching up on a lap for a little of that human touch, pets can keep people active and lower one’s blood pressure, if just for a little while. St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount paid tribute to pets throughout the area on Saturday, Oct. 4, with its annual Blessing of the Animals. Though it was chilly day, plenty of people and their pets turned out for the event that also includ-ed the fundraiser St. Jo-seph School “Marathon.” “Many animals of all shapes and sizes were well-blessed by the growing number of clergy coming to this annual blessing,” said the Rev. Paul Jarvis, pastor at St. Joseph. Jarvis says the Blessing of the Animals is another example of ecumenical ef-forts in the area as clergy from six different churches helped blessed the ani-mals. They included: the Rev. Karen Bruins, from Rose-mount United Methodist in Rosemount; Deacon Gorger Nugent, from All

Saints Catholic Church in Lakeville; Deacon Dave Nowak and Deacon Jim McLaughlin from Nativ-ity Catholic Church in Bloomington; Jarvis, the Rev. Bob Schwartz and Deacon Steve Boatwright from St. Joseph; the Rev. Bob Toner, retired non-denominational Christian pastor; and Monsignor Anthony Dinze and the Rev. Joseph Moreno, Church of St. Anthony Old Catholic Community of West St. Paul. The day marked the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron and lover of all animals. “Just when the ani-mal blessing was to take place, the sky opened and the sun came down on all those gathered,” Jar-vis said. “The same thing happened last year, when the drizzly rain stopped just before the blessing. … St. Francis must’ve ar-ranged that.” Also participating in the event were Last Hope animal rescue and adop-tion services and Flue-gel’s Farm, Garden & Pet, handing out pet treats. More information about Last Hope is at www.last-hope.org. More about St. Francis is at http://library.cac.org/alternativewayfrancis.

More events Jarvis said there are

many more ecumenical events at Dakota County churches in the coming months. They include: • Taizé Ecumenical Prayer Service on Tues-days at 6:30 p.m. – Nov. 11 at St. Joseph and Dec. 9 at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 4030 Pi-lot Knob Road, Eagan. The service features simple, meditative Taizé music. The form was de-veloped by the Taizé com-munity, an ecumenical monastic order in Taizé, France. Each liturgy in-cludes 40-45 minutes of music, scripture, inter-cessory prayer and silent meditation. • Thanksgiving Eve Ec-umenical Prayer Service – 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26, Rosemount United Methodist Church, 14770 Canada Ave., with Jar-vis preaching. People are invited to bring food and cash contributions for the local food shelf to this service and for the Thanksgiving Day Mass at St. Joseph at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 27. RUMC is collecting photos of “Beauty and Thanksgiving” or images of what makes one say “Thank you, Lord” from area residents that will be part of a slideshow dur-ing that Thanksgiving Eve service.

All congrega-tions are encouraged to pray for unity. The unity

theme this year: “Give me to drink.” “Jesus said to her: ‘Give me to drink.’ ” (John 4:7) For more information, visit http://www.cicts.org/default.asp?id=444. • Carrying the Cross in ‘The Crosswalk’ – 10 a.m. to around noon, Good Friday, April 3, begin-ning in the parking lot of Easter Lutheran Church, 4200 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, and ending at Crossroads Church, 4100 Lexington Way, Eagan. During the walk with the cross participants will be given a chance to share in carrying the cross. At different points along the way, participants will stop

for a short time of prayer, reading and singing. A large cross will be carried on the 3-mile route. Community mem-bers are invited to join in walking the whole route or just a portion. Vans will be available along the way to return people to their starting point, the Easter Church parking lot, or another place on the route. Those leaving early for the noon hour’s Stations of the Cross at St. Joseph can also take a van back to Easter’s park-ing lot.

District 196 enrollment up slightly for second year by Jessica Harper


Enrollment in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District in-creased slightly this year when compared to 2013. According to the dis-trict’s official October en-rollment report, which was presented at the Oct. 13

School Board meeting, en-rollment increased by 0.77 percent (210 students) to 27,412 students. The district’s total en-rollment is 380 students higher than projected two years ago, Finance Direc-tor Jeff Solomon said. This represents the sec-ond consecutive increase

after nearly a decade of annual declines in enroll-ment. District 196 contin-ues to be the fourth largest public school district in Minnesota. The district’s enrollment peaked in the 2003-04 school year with 28,572 students, which is about 1,200 more than this school year. The largest class in the district is ninth grade with 2,164 students, while the smallest is first grade with 1,880 students.

District 196 also saw in-creasing diversity this year. Students of color now rep-resent 31.7 percent of the district’s total enrollment, which is a 1.6 percent in-crease from last year and nearly double what it was 10 years ago. The district’s percentage of students of color exceeded the state average of 25 percent. Of the total enrollment, 12.7 percent of district students are black (up 0.6 percent); 10 percent are

Asian (up 0.5 percent); 8 percent are Hispanic (up 0.4 percent) and 1 percent are American Indian (up 0.1 percent). The percentage of stu-dents who qualify for free or reduced-price meals remained the same when compared to last year at 24 percent of total enroll-ment, which is lower than the state average of 35.5 percent. It is more than double what it was 10 years ago.

Students who receive special education services account for 15.7 percent of total enrollment, which is a 0.1 percent decrease from last year. Slightly more students — 5.7 percent of total en-rollment — receive Eng-lish Language Learner services, which is a 0.3 percent increase from last year.

District schools improve on state standards by Jessica Harper


Schools within the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District continue to make improve-ments on Minnesota’s ac-countability standards. More than half (18 of 31) schools in the district improved their overall scores over the past three years on the Multiple Mea-surement Rating assess-ment, according to data released by the Minnesota Department of Education. “The district has be-come renown for its con-tinuous improvement,” said Michelle DeMers, as-sessment coordinator for District 196. The MMR – which rolled out in 2012 – is based on the results of the Minnesota Comprehen-sive Assessments in math and reading, the academic growth of individual stu-dents, graduation rates and the scope of a school’s

achievement gap between upper-income white stu-dents and lower-income minorities. All Minnesota public schools receive an MMR score, which is represented as a percentage that is cal-culated from points earned in the aforementioned areas. Previously schools received up to 25 points for each area, which was changed this year to 50 points. The Department of Education recalculated scores from previous years to account for the change. Scores were also calcu-lated this year by combin-ing MCA scores for 2013 and 2014 and compar-ing those scores with the combined MCA scores for 2010 and 2011. None of the 13 schools that failed to show im-provement were penalized. DeMers said the dis-trict plans to continue to focus on ensuring equity among students and plans to implement its literacy

collaborative, which uses research-based instruction to help students improve their reading proficiency. Schools with high con-centrations of poverty that receive federal Title I funding may also receive a designation as Reward, Celebration Eligible, Con-tinuous Improvement, Fo-cus or Priority. District 196 has 10 Title I schools — Cedar Park, Deerwood, Echo Park, Glacier Hills, Greenleaf, Oak Ridge, Parkview, Rosemount, Southview and Westview. Not all Title 1 schools receive a desig-nation nor do any schools that do not receive Title 1 funding. Reward schools are the highest-performing 15 percent of Title I schools in the state. Greenleaf re-ceived this designation for the third consecutive year. Rosemount Elementary also received the designa-tion. Celebration Eligible

Schools are the highest-performing 15 to 25 per-cent of Title 1 schools in the sate. Cedar Park STEM, Echo Park, Oak Ridge, and Glacier Hills Arts and Science received this designation. Last year Westview was the only school to receive a Continuous Improvement designation, which is given to schools in the lowest-performing 10 to 25 per-cent. The school was re-moved from the designa-tion this year after making significant improvements, particularly in the area of growth in achievement and achievement gap reduc-tion, which both doubled. The school’s growth score jumped from 7.91 in 2013 to 17.23 in 2014 while is achievement gap score rose from 7.70 to 18.54. Deerwood, Parkview and Southview didn’t re-ceive designations.

The buzz at St. Joseph SchoolSeventh-grade students learn

about beekeeping by Kelly Roche

SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Beez Kneez, a Min-nesota education group advocating on behalf of bees during the current critical bee population crash, came to St. Joseph Church’s parish school to educate seventh-graders on the care of bees, and their importance to Min-nesota agriculture and agribusiness. Three months ago St. Joseph Church parishio-ners – the Francois family – donated a beehive to the parish’s community gar-den, which grows food for the homeless and flowers for the homebound. The beehive was dedicated in honor of St. Ambrose, the patron saint of bees and beekeepers. These buzzy premier pollinators are not only beneficial to the gardens and farms and fruit trees, they have been fascinating St. Joseph seventh-graders and other students who have been benefitting from presentations given by parish beekeepers – Craig Francois and his teen-

daughter, Rebecca. In the classroom, the seventh-grade students not only learned about the importance of bees to Minnesotans, they better understood their plight. Beekeepers lose 30 percent of their hives every winter. Minnesota Environmental Partnership surveys the public to see what people care about environmen-tally, and Minnesotans responded that pollinators are something we care a lot about – the issue sur-vey respondents cared the most about in addition to water quality. Just as the Rev. Paul Jarvis, pastor of St. Jo-seph, has been challenging Dakota County churches and schools to responsi-bly bring bee hives to their campuses, he’s challenged students’ families to ac-quire beehives for their properties, if appropriate. He explained that in Min-neapolis, many residents are placing beehives on roofs. The class also partici-pated in hands-on learn-ing around the parish’s hive. With students and teachers in protective white gear, they learned that helping bees requires more than creating more hives and training more

beekeepers. Bees need more food to eat … and more clean food. As St. Joseph stu-dents opened up the par-ish hive to look at the queen bee and observe the worker bees behavior, edu-cator Erin Rupp of Beez Kneez explained that bees need more flowers in eco-systems, as well as flowers that haven’t been treated with pesticides. There’s scientific con-sensus around neonicin-toid pesticides and their toxicity to bees. This chemical toxicity and a parasite called a varroa mite that lives and repro-duces in a colony weakens bees to diseases. During their hands-on lesson, students asked about the difference be-tween bees and wasps and hornets. They found out that after a hairy black-and-yellow bee stings in protection of the hive, she dies. No bee is looking for trouble. Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are car-nivores and sting to eat. They can also sting mul-tiple times. When asked by Jarvis whether they were a little scared at first, the students admitted they were initial-

ly. But then they became comfortable around the bees. On the warm October day, the students noticed the relatively large packets of pollen on the bees’ hind legs. A couple of students expressed interest in be-coming beekeepers either with the parish’s beehive or with their own. Those interested in learning how to become a bee-keeper can take a short course at the University of Minnesota in beekeeping in northern climates. More is at http://beelab.umn.edu. At the end of the lesson, Jarvis asked Rupp if she knew who the patron saint of bees and beekeepers is. Several students helped her out by blurting out the answer for her: “St. Ambrose!” “Well, even I learned something today,” Rupp said. More information is at www.thebeezkneezdelivery.com.

In Farmington, board denies ex-gymnastics coach’s appeal

Lynn Bauman won’t be back as head varsity coach by Andy Rogers


Lynn Bauman made her case to the Farmington School Board on Monday that she would like her old job back, but the board stood by its initial decision. For the first time in eight years, someone new will be the head coach of the var-sity gymnastics team at the high school. Farmington Athletic Director Bill Tschida will recommend to the board that Amanda Lund will be the new varsity gymnastics head coach for the 2014-15 season. Bauman was the long-time varsity coach at the high school, but the board approved her non-renewal 5-0 on Sept. 22 as part of the consent agenda. Board Chair Tera Lee was absent. Coaches are on year-to-year contracts. After reviewing the rea-sons and speaking with friends and family, Bau-man decided to appeal. She said she received plenty of support from the community. “I can’t go anywhere in Farmington,” she said. “People are either giving me hugs or putting their arm around me.” In a phone interview before the board meeting, Bauman said none of the reasons had anything to do with her being the varsity coach. “It had to do with my last six weeks at Commu-

nity Education,” she said. “The stuff they’re claiming to take away my coaching position is ridiculous.” Bauman was also the director for Farmington Community Education’s Twist N Tumble gymnas-tics program, which is also part of the district, but left during the summer to start the Farmington Gymnas-tics Center. During Monday’s meet-ing, the board approved the reasons for Bauman’s non-renewal 5-1 with Lee voting no. The board didn’t list the reasons because it’s against the state’s privacy law, but Bauman offered them up during a public hearing. She said one of the rea-sons was a fight over the name Twist N Tumble with Community Education and that she tried to trade the name for some equip-ment. She admitted she took down a poster and put tape over the Twist N Tumble on three other posters. “I told them I owned the (Twist N Tumble) name and asked them not to use it anymore,” she said. She said she since signed the name over to Commu-nity Education. She said the piece of equipment was something she and her coaches had fundraised for and her understanding was it was not purchased with district funds. She also said one of the reasons was a theft of a cabinet, which she said

she received from a jani-tor who was throwing it out in 2012. When par-ents packed it up, a Com-munity Education worker helped open the door and a janitor said there wasn’t a problem. When she was ac-cused of stealing, she said she returned the cabinet. She also said she recom-mended a coach in March who wasn’t approved after the district conducted a background check, calling it a “misunderstanding.” She also spoke of her accomplishments stating that her gymnasts have performed well athletically and in the classroom. Bauman said she con-tacted about 10 lawyers, but she was unable to re-tain anyone because she was told it was too short of notice or they would be out of town. The meeting was ad-journed without any mem-ber taking up a motion to reinstate Bauman. Bauman’s daughter is on the team, and Bauman said she plans on being an active volunteer. “I’m still going to be around,” Bauman said. “Whoever, whatever, I’ll help out and volunteer. My daughter will still be on the team. Even though she doesn’t want to if I’m not there, but I’ll probably make her.”

Eagan man sentenced for smashing car An Eagan man has been sentenced to two months in jail for bashing a car with a broomstick last May after an argu-ment with a woman. Kyle Gregory Im, 20, pleaded guilty on Oct. 7 to first-degree property dam-age and gross misdemean-or assault. A second gross misde-meanor domestic assault charge was dismissed. Im was sentenced to 60 days in jail with credit for

29 days served. He also re-ceived five years of proba-tion. According to the crimi-nal complaint, Im used a broomstick to smash every window of a vehicle fol-lowing an argument with a female acquaintance on May 10. Earlier that evening Im got into an argument with the woman and allegedly dragged her by her hair several times, threw her keys and clothes at her and

threatened to kill her. Neighbors called po-lice, who spoke to Im and the woman. Im admitted to pulling the woman’s hair and striking the driv-er’s-side window of the vehicle with a broomstick, but denied breaking the window. Im was arrested that day and released on bail. He has a prior convic-tion of domestic assault.

Going back to state

Malini Wijesinghe of Apple Valley hits a backhand re-turn during the Section 3AA girls tennis tournament in Lakeville. Wijesinghe won the section singles champion-ship and advances to the state tournament for the second consecutive year. Eastview’s Melissa Barry and Taylor Kopfer advanced to state in doubles after defeating Mia Davis and Natalie Wijesinghe of Apple Valley in a match for true second at the section finals Tuesday. The Class AA singles and doubles tournaments begin Oct. 23 at the University of Minnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center. (Pho-to by Mike Shaughnessy)

Eastview picking up steam in OctoberLightning wins its

3rd straight Battle for Appleby Mike Shaughnessy


With one game remain-ing before the playoffs, Eastview football coach Kelly Sherwin’s message to his players was succinct. “Nobody should want to play you,” Sherwin said. Much like it did the last two seasons, the Light-ning appears to be round-ing into form in October. After losing its first two games to Rosemount and Eden Prairie – the only two undefeated teams in Class 6A – Eastview won four of its next five, including a 38-15 victory over Apple Valley in the “Battle for the Apple” game last Fri-day. Eastview (4-3) played its final regular-season game Wednesday (after this edition went to press) at Prior Lake. The Class 6A playoffs begin Friday, Oct. 24. “Our coaches talk about how we should be playing our best at the end of the season, and I think we are,” said Eastview quarterback Cole McDe-vitt, who threw three touchdown passes against Apple Valley. “We’re play-ing better, and I think we’re more confident now.” Eastview is likely to be

at home in the first round of the playoffs against an-other team from Section 3. The second round is a “crossover” game against a team from Section 6, which includes South Suburban Conference members Prior Lake and Shakopee, all five Lake Conference teams (Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Min-netonka, Wayzata and

Edina), plus Robbinsdale Armstrong of the North Suburban. If the Lightning wins its playoff opener, a re-match against Prior Lake in the second round is not out of the question. Over the past several weeks Eastview has been more efficient throwing the ball. McDevitt has six touchdown passes in

his team’s last two games. He completed eight of 11 passes for 210 yards last Friday. “It starts up front; our line is really improving,” McDevitt said. “They’re giving me a chance to make some easy throws.” Eastview also demon-strated that breaks tend to go the way of the team that’s playing well. Early

in the second half an Ap-ple Valley defensive back was in good position to break up or even intercept a McDevitt pass intended for Obi Ibeneme. But the ball deflected straight to Ibeneme, who took it to the end zone for a 59-yard touchdown. McDevitt also threw touchdown passes to Nick Adams (33 yards) and Chris Cook (5 yards). Tommy Hutsell had a 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and Jack Schliesman scored on a 2-yard run in the fourth. Tre Phillips, a 6-foot-1, 265-pound running back, rushed for 113 yards. Sean Ryan kicked a 27-yard field goal. It was a tight game for nearly three quarters be-fore Eastview scored the final three touchdowns. Apple Valley (2-5) trailed 10-9 at halftime and 17-15 midway through the third quarter. The Eagles, trailing 10-3 in the second quar-ter, drew closer on Isaiah Hall’s 88-yard kickoff re-turn for a touchdown. In the third, after Ibeneme scored on the deflected pass, Apple Valley drove down the field and scored on an 8-yard pass from quarterback Matt Morse to sophomore running back Mario Lewis. The two-point conversion at-tempt failed, leaving East-view with a 17-15 lead,

and the Lightning took over the game from there. Apple Valley played at Burnsville on Wednes-day in its regular-season finale, after which it will defend its Class 5A, Sec-tion 3 championship. Be-fore Wednesday’s game, the Eagles were second to Bloomington Jefferson in the section in the Minne-sota-Scores.net Quality Results Formula, which will be used to seed the section tournament. If Apple Valley remains in the top two in the QRF, it would receive a bye into the section semifinals Sat-urday, Oct. 25. If it drops to third or lower, it would play a quarterfinal game Tuesday, Oct. 21. Friday’s victory gave Eastview a 3-0 lead in Battle for the Apple games since the rivalry was re-formulated in 2012. The schools, in a joint effort, also raised almost $10,000 in a “Tackle Cancer” game for the Randy Shaver Can-cer Research and Commu-nity Fund. It’s the largest amount the schools have raised for the fund. “It’s always good to win, but it’s also good to know you were part of something that’s bigger than football,” McDevitt said.

Close races in SSC cross countryLakeville South, Shakopee are team champs

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


Lakeville South and Eagan swapped the lead back and forth before South pushed to the front to repeat at South Subur-ban Conference girls cross country champion. In what was a two-team race for the championship, both schools placed five runners on the all-confer-ence team at Friday’s meet at Eagan High School. South finished with 52 points to Eagan’s 57, and both were well in front of third-place Eastview (119). Shakopee, Rosemount and Prior Lake battled for the boys team champion-ship, with Shakopee, a new South Suburban member this season, winning by six points over Rosemount. Tess Misgen of Shako-pee and Faysal Mahmoud of Burnsville were the in-dividual champions of the South Suburban varsity races.

Girls race “They ran an amazing race last Friday,” Lakeville South coach Jessica Just said of the girls team’s per-formance. Eagan coach Lisa Lan-genhahn couldn’t find fault with anything her team did, either. “We ran well, ran as a team, did all the things you need to do to win a meet,” Langenhahn said. “We had several girls who ran their best times on that course.” Lakeville South placed three runners in the top nine and four in the top 11. “We have a great mix of veteran leadership and younger runners who are learning to work together in races,” Just said. South’s top finisher was senior Kaytlyn Larson, who was fourth overall in 14 minutes, 49 sec-onds in the 4,000-meter race. Senior Annie Brek-ken (15:00.90) and ninth-grader Patty Jo English (15:06.40) were eighth and

ninth. Brianne Brewster (15:09.30) was 11th, and Lauren Geary (15:36.10) placed 20th. Bailey Brews-ter (29th) and Cassie Jenny (34th) earned honorable mention all-conference. Eagan’s top five run-ners finished in the top 18. Anna Van Wyk, a senior, was third in 14:40.20, and senior Kelli Praska was sixth in 14:56.20. Danielle Marshall, a junior, took 13th in 15:40.90. The Wildcats’ Katie Koprowski (15:30.60) and Aryn Embretson (15:31.20) were 17th and 18th. Third-place Eastview had two all-conference runners. Junior Laura Bestul took seventh in 14:56.40 and junior Mar-gie Freed was 19th in 15:35.90. Mckenzie Ben-son, a sophomore, missed an all-conference spot by one place and four-tenths of a second. Seventh-place Apple Valley (185 points) had two all-conference run-ners: ninth-grader Molly Moynihan (fifth, 14:49.40) and junior Olivia Anger (14th, 15:22.50). Farmington eighth-grader Lauren Peterson was individual runner-up in 14:40.00, 19 seconds behind Misgen. Peterson was the only runner in the top 40 for the Tigers, who finished ninth with 216 points.

Boys race Rosemount had been the only team to win the South Suburban Confer-ence boys team champi-onship until Friday, when Shakopee broke the Irish’s

four-year streak. The No. 5 runners proved to be critical; Shakopee’s fin-ished 26th overall while Rosemount’s was 38th. Shakopee finished with 72 points to Rosemount’s 78. Four runners earned all-conference honors for the Irish: seniors Alex Berhe (second, 16:33.70), Samuel Ivanecky (fifth, 16:45.40), Clayton Smith (16th, 17:20.80) and Ryan Brumm (17th, 17:21.90). Burnsville’s Mah-moud, who finished eighth in last year’s con-ference meet, took first this year’s 5,000-meter race in 16:24.00, almost 10 seconds ahead of Ber-he. Burnsville was fifth in the team standings with 144 points, and sopho-more Nathaniel Blichfeldt (10th, 17:10.10) also made the all-conference team. Lakeville North fin-ished fourth with 115

points, with seven Pan-thers runners finishing in the top 35. Juniors Luke Anderson (ninth, 17:08.50) and Justin Pas-chall (20th, 17:23.10) were all-conference. Apple Valley placed sixth with 152 points, led by seniors Grant Udel-hofen (22nd, 17:24.00) and Jacob Thompson (24th, 17:24.80). Ninth-place Eastview (188) placed two runners on the all-conference team. Seniors Tanner Leighton (17:22.10) and Addisu Mulugeta (17:22.30) were 18th and 19th individually. Eagan was 10th with 198 points. The Wildcats’ top runners were senior Bailey Lachance (28th) and freshman Trenton Al-len (32nd).

Three SSC schools go to True Team finalsIrish, Panthers, Tigers win their

sectionsby Mike Shaughnessy


Three teams from the South Suburban Con-ference will compete in the state Class AA True Team girls swimming meet Thursday at the University of Minnesota. Rosemount, Lakeville North and Farmington all advanced by winning section meets Saturday. Rosemount is eighth and Lakeville North ninth in this week’s state coaches association Class AA rankings, and Irish coach Jake Kemna said his team’s goal is to place in the top six at the True Team finals. Lake Conference schools Wayzata, Edina, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie occupy the top

four spots in the state rankings, and all four qualified for the True Team finals, which will start at 6 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Section 2AA Lakeville North fin-ished 36.5 points ahead of Prior Lake in the Sec-tion 2AA meet at Valley Middle School in Apple Valley. Chanhassen, Lakeville South and Ap-ple Valley also competed. Depth was the calling card for North at the sec-tion meet as the Panthers took the team champion-ship despite winning only one event – the 200 free-style relay. Apple Valley was fifth in the team standings. The Eagles’ best event was diving, where Laken Wartik, Grace Roepke and Grace Miller were second, third and fifth.

sota. “You’re buying from your neighbors — we feel that gives it a special re-lationship,” Gerten said as he displayed products such as Snappy Dog Salsa and Lucky’s honey mus-tard for the council. As its name suggests, the Holiday Market in Apple Valley will feature seasonal products such as pumpkin wreaths and maple syrup, and vendors will be happy to help cus-

tomers with holiday meal planning, Gerten said. “The idea is it lets people get Minnesota products for the table for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year’s,” he said. The Holiday Market plans to host 10-20 grow-ers and other vendors each week in the space at Red-wood Community Cen-ter, which is located 311 County Road 42.

during questioning. Of the 17 students, sev-eral could be looking at serious charges. The Farmington Police Department is working with the Dakota County Attorney’s Office to de-termine what charges may apply and to whom. The majority of those who may face charges are se-niors ages 17 and 18.

“Obviously some of the students that are not 18 will not be prosecuted by the county attorney,” Lindquist said. “But we’re looking at this as one col-lective event.” Potential charges in-clude disorderly conduct, reckless driving and as-sault. “If you want to get crazy you could look at kidnapping but it’s not on the table,” Lindquist said.

“It’s not even a topic for consideration. But we’re looking at all possibilities. We’re not in the business of retribution. We’re in the business of changing con-duct.” Lindquist said the situ-ation could have ended much worse. “But the grace of God, like most of these things, they’re a few inches away from being really bad,” Lindquist said. “It’s one

of those things they’ll look back and think how goofy and dumb was that. … If the accident hadn’t taken place, would we have even known? There’s a 50-50 chance we wouldn’t.” The there no reports of any other such incidents related to Farmington’s homecoming week. Email Andy Rogers at [email protected].

PRANK, from 1A

the Legislature in the fu-ture will be on health care reform and taxes. She said creating an environment for small businesses to thrive is a priority. “The tax climate we have in Minnesota right now is driving those folks to our border states,” she

said. The race in House Dis-trict 57B — which includes Rosemount, Coates, and a portion of Apple Val-ley north of 140th Street — had incumbent state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, facing challenger Denise Packard, a DFLer from Rosemount. Packard, a nurse who

said health care has been a focus of her campaign, asked Wills why she had voted “no” on the bonding bill in the Legislature that would have delivered mil-lions of dollars in funding to the Minnesota Zoo. In response, Wills said her “no” vote wasn’t a vote against zoo funding, but a decision not to rubber-

stamp a bonding bill that, in its final form, would have stripped Dakota County Technical College of funding. Elections this year are set for Nov. 4. Email Andrew Miller at [email protected].

Oil paintings on exhibit in Lakeville

Folk musician is a veteran of the road Dennis Warner concert Nov. 1 in Lakeville

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


Dennis Warner was in for a surprise during his concert at the presti-gious Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Asked to perform at the Kennedy Center in the early 2000s as part of a series spotlighting “best unknown song-writers,” Warner noticed an unusual element in the crowd — men in tux-edos sipping wine. It turns out the more formally attired mem-bers of the audience were actually at the venue to see famed Ital-ian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, who was set to perform later that night. Warner made it his mission to win them over. “I’m not used to peo-ple showing up in tux-edos to my shows,” said the folk musician from Clearwater, Minn. “It took me a while, but by the end of the show they were singing along.” Spats and silver tiaras are not required for War-

ner’s upcoming concert in Lakeville. Warner, who blends

humor and audience participation into his live performances, will

be joined by his band The D’s at the 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, show.

The concert will fea-ture music from War-ner’s nine CDs, including

his latest, “Seeds,” which was named one of the top CDs of 2012 by folk music chart service Folk DJ. “All my shows are family friendly, but this one’s billed as an adult concert,” he said. A seasoned road vet-eran, Warner performs in about 100 cities each year, and has visited all 50 U.S. states in his tours. “I love it — I guess it’s just seeing other parts of the country, meeting up with old friends and catching up with their lives, and meeting new people,” Warner said of his fondness for touring. Tickets for the Lake-ville concert are $13 and are available at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCen-ter.com or at the arts center, 20965 Holyoke Ave., Lakeville. More about Warner is at War-nerSongs.com.
