Farmington district still hoping for a general fund increase School Board hears from community, administration on budget cuts

by Andy RogersSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Farmington School Board heard hours of proposals on how to fix a $700,000 projected budget deficit from citizens during three community roundtables and from several adminis-trators during Monday’s board meeting. Cutting elementary band and middle school athletics along with in-creasing class size and one-way busing proved just as unpopular with the board as it did with members of the district and community. The board was given the job of making ap-proximately $1.2 million

in realignments earlier this month to make up for the estimated $700,000 hole in the 2015-16 bud-get. There are a number of other less-discussed pro-posals being considered, such as selling the District Service Center. The Farmington School Board made its final decision on cuts during a special session Wednesday night, after the newspaper’s deadline. To read an update, vis-it www.sunthisweek.com/tag/farmington.

Budget formula Unless Minnesota’s general education for-mula changes or an op-erating levy passes in the

fall, any budget items that were spared would likely be back on the list of cuts next year, Superintendent Jay Haugen said. Minnesota’s education budget formula still could change. Gov. Mark Day-ton’s proposal in January included a 1-percent in-crease to the general for-mula, which doesn’t keep up with inflation, Haugen said. Haugen said the in-crease has averaged about 1 percent per year in the past decade, which has put the district in a hole. Dayton released last week an updated propos-al, which did not include additional funds for the general formula. The proposal did fund

prekindergarten, some-thing that Director of Fi-nance Jane Hauska said sounds like a wonderful program, but could be-come an issue. “When we added all-day kindergarten, that took a lot of our space,” Hauska said. It also added $4 mil-lion in additional special education funding, but Hauska was unsure how funding would be divided up and what that meant for Farmington. Both the Minnesota House and Senate were scheduled to release their budget proposals this week, and the Minnesota Legislature won’t make a final decision until at least May.

A 1 percent increase in the general education formula would equal ap-proximately $450,000 for the district. District officials say they can’t afford to wait because it would limit staffing options and might force the district to make larger cuts in the fu-ture. “I think we have to be as frugal as we can be this year because next year the cuts will be even more painful,” Board Member Laura Beem said. During the roundtable discussions participants spoke of mobilizing the community to encourage the state to use the sur-

Health of Vermillion River on the mind of many Efforts underway to heal

waterways by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Vermillion River is still too dirty. The water in the popular trout-fishing river, running from Scott County to the Mississippi River, has improved signifi-cantly since the 1900s and incrementally in the past 10 years, but is still contami-nated with E. coli bacteria and has low-dissolved oxygen and cloudy water. The fish and macroinvertebrates have been labeled unhealthy, as well. In the south branch, east of Farming-ton, there’s been a noted increase of ni-trates found in the surface water, which gets into the groundwater, according to Travis Thiel, watershed specialist with the Vermillion River Watershed Organi-zation, and that’s not good. There are actions residents can take to help, including reusing stormwater for watering lawns and gardens, minimizing the use of fertilizers with nitrogen and phosphorus, and reducing excess water consumption.Efforts are in place to curb stormwater runoff into the Vermillion River, which still has higher levels

of pollution than officials would like to see. (Photo by Andy Rogers)See RIVER, 6A

Longtime CDA director’s contract terminated

Mark Ulfers removed from post after workplace complaints against him were reviewed

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK


Mark Ulfers, the executive direc-tor of the Dakota County Community Development Agency since 1986, had his contract terminated for cause after CDA board members reviewed work-place complaints raised against him. The termination, which passed by a unani-mous vote of the CDA Board comprised of all Dakota County commis-sioners, was effective 60 days after notice was pro-vided March 3, a provi-sion that was set forth in Ulfers’ previous employ-ment agreement. During a closed execu-tive session at the special meeting, the board con-ferred with members of the Dakota County At-torney’s Office to obtain advice with regard to the workplace complaints. Prior to giving notice of intent to ter-minate the contract, the board approved Ulfers’ 2015 contract with a base salary of $161,250. Ulfers had requested a 2015 salary of $164,678. Asked about Ulfers’ reputation as a

leader in housing and economic devel-opment and his stellar 2013 job review, Dakota County Board Chairman Tom Egan said: “In terms of his technical performance, it’s been outstanding. The dismissal was for other reasons than that.” Board members started the annual process to evaluate Ulfers’ job perfor-

mance during its Nov. 18, 2014, meeting. After a closed session at that meeting, the board voted to continue the perfor-mance evaluation. The performance eval-uation was not reopened at the board’s next three regular meetings in De-cember, January or Feb-ruary. Ulfers wrote in his Jan. 20, 2015, report to the board: “With 2015 now underway the agency will no doubt face new chal-

lenges as well as old ones. One thing is for certain and that is it will be a pro-ductive year that will leave our county in a better place.” He said the agency has “one of the premier senior housing programs in the

Farmington man

charged with robbing

juveniles with BB gun A Farmington man was charged with felony aggravated robbery in the first degree by the Dakota County Sheriff ’s Office following an incident on March 13 where he allegedly used a .117-caliber BB gun to threaten and take money from three juve-niles in Eureka Township. Four juveniles said they were walking along a path near the intersec-tion of 205th Street and Colorado Avenue, north of Farmington, around 9:30 p.m. when a male ap-proached them from the train tracks, shined a light at them and stated he was a police officer. One of the juveniles ran to tell his parents. According to the crimi-nal complaint, Joseph Wayne Gilbertson, 20, pointed a black gun at three juveniles and asked them for money. Gilbertson took money but later returned it to the

juveniles. Gilbertson was de-tained by the Farmington Police a few hours later

and admitted he was walking his dog in the area. He claimed his dog had barked and scared the ju-veniles. He said he asked them for money and then gave it back. He denied using

a gun, but later admitted he had a pellet gun that he threw in the water and said he was intoxicated, so he didn’t know exactly where. He admitted it looked like a big revolver with a long barrel. The following day, offi-cers located the gun under some large power boxes on the train tracks. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail and a $35,000 fine. His bail was set at $100,000, and his omnibus hearing is scheduled for April 14.

Sweet Harvest Foods to locate headquarters in Rosemount

Company to move staff members to former Canon Equipment building

Sweet Harvest Foods, the maker of MEL-O hon-ey, will move its headquar-ters from Cannon Falls to Rosemount this spring af-ter the company agreed to lease the 108,000-square-foot former location of Canon Equipment, ac-cording to a release from the city. Sweet Harvest Foods had previously leased part of the building for dis-tribution, and about 25 headquarters staff mem-bers will join those distri-bution employees. “We are looking for-ward to being a part of the Rosemount community,” said CEO Darcy Riess in the release. “Our con-tinuing growth requires new and more expansive space.” Brian McGregor, presi-dent and COO, said the headquarters relocation to Rosemount is expected to be complete by May 1. The privately owned company began with the MEL-O brand of honey, sold at farmers’ markets as far back as 1923. The company continues to sell honey in a bottle shaped like a honey bear. The company also sells the John Mountain Organics honey and PB Crave pea-nut butter. Sweet Harvest Foods products are sold in supermarkets and sup-plied to food services and as private-label products. “We welcome the em-ployees and their cor-porate headquarters to Rosemount,” Mayor Bill Droste said in the release. “Our community began more than 150 years ago, serving as a hub for ag-ricultural activity. Sweet Harvest Foods fits well in that tradition.” The building, complet-ed in 1996, at 15100 Busi-ness Parkway rests on 9.88 acres of land. It is owned by Bloomington-based Rosemount LLC. It has a sale value listed at $4.4 million, according to Da-

kota County property re-cords. Sweet Harvest Foods joins seven other com-panies in the Rosemount Business Park. The city reported that additional land is available for pur-chase, totaling over 170 acres. According to the Can-non Falls Beacon, Curt and Darcy Riess, of Lakeville, bought Mel-O Honey in 1997 from the Melford Olson family and moved the business from Crystal to the closing Alli-ant Food Processing plant in the Cannon Falls indus-trial park. The Beacon said in 2013 the size of the plant has doubled since that time, adding office space and increasing employ-ment from about six to about 50. Sweet Harvest has an extensive list of philan-thropic efforts. In addition to providing jobs to beekeeping opera-tions in Africa that supply its products, Project Pea-nut Butter sends nutrition-ally supplemented peanut butter to poverty stricken areas of Africa. The company has a

keen eye on environmental issues as it is working to reverse the causes of bee colony collapse. It is work-ing around the globe in Africa and Brazil to help people in those countries develop beekeeping opera-tions. “The ethical treatment of people, animals and the earth is the very essence of our company and a core competency of our busi-ness,” the company’s so-cial responsibility report said. “We travel the world not only to find the best products available, but to get close to the people who grow them. This jour-ney truly makes us global citizens. We are proud to support healthy working families both here and abroad.” The company also sup-ports local public and private schools with dona-tions primarily for tech-nology items. It also sup-ports Special Olympics and Opportunity Partners, which helps people with disabilities find jobs. More about the compa-ny is at www.sweetharvest.com.

Footgolf comes to Apple Valley Course for hybrid sport

opens at Apple Valley Golf Course by Andrew Miller


Substitute a soccer ball for a golf ball, and you’re ready for footgolf. Dakota County resi-dents don’t have far to travel if they’d like to try the popular new hybrid sport, which is now be-ing offered at Apple Val-ley Golf Course, located at Gardenview Drive and 140th Street. Apple Valley Golf Course began offering footgolf alongside tradi-tional golf on March 20. “The two games are played the same, and footgolfers can join in with traditional golfers or make a group of their own. Footgolf plays just as fast as traditional golf,” said David Boysen, Apple Valley Golf Course main-tenance employee.

“With so many youth joining soccer, this is a great way for them to work on their skills of accuracy and trying to sink the ball on a third or fourth shot.” At the Apple Valley Golf Course, the foot-golf cups are 21 inches in diameter and are placed near the front of the put-ting greens. Footgolf uses orange tee markers, which are either on or in front of the traditional golf tee box. The Apple Valley Golf Course has footgolf holes ranging from par 3 to par 5. In terms of distance, the par 3 holes range from about 80 to 100 yards; the longest par 5 is 182 yards. There are three ponds on the course, though grounds crew workers set up the holes and tees to minimize the chance of

a ball being kicked into a pond. Apple Valley Golf Course is the first to offer footgolf in Dakota Coun-ty, Boysen said. Other footgolf courses in the Twin Cities include Hy-land Greens Golf Course in Bloomington and Wa-ters Edge Golf Course in Shakopee. At the Apple Valley Golf Course, the fee for footgolf is $12 Monday through Friday (seniors and youths $10 before 4 p.m.). Weekends and hol-idays are $13; the course doesn’t accept credit cards. For more informa-tion or to set a tee time, contact the course at 952-432-4647.

Bill would lower minimum wage for some tipped workers Garofalo says it would preserve jobs; opponents say

it’s a penalty for hard workby Chris Steller

SESSION DAILY

Some waiters and other tipped work-ers could earn a wage lower than the state minimum, under a bill the House passed 78-55 late Monday. House File 1027, sponsored by Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, would set a minimum wage of $8 an hour for workers whose combined tips and wag-es come to $12 an hour or more during a one-week pay period. Lowering the wage would preserve waiter jobs at restaurants offering full table service, Garofalo said. “Right now, businesses that are doing table dining, we are providing a regulatory incentive for them to move to fast-casu-al.” The proposed lower-tier wage is a dollar less than the new $9 an hour minimum that goes into effect Aug. 1, 2015, as part of a law enacted last year stipulating a series of wage increases. Employees whose tips amount to less than $4 an hour during a work week would make the higher minimum wage. The bill would repeal a part of current statute that prohibits the counting of employee tips toward the minimum wage. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls, is the sponsor. Rep. Jason Metsa, DFL-Virginia, called the bill “wage theft” and said Republican backers of Garofalo’s minimum-wage bill were adopting Walmart’s “rollback” pricing policy. “Freezing wages for waiters and waitresses will not make our economy stronger,” said Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, calling the bill “a penalty on people who earn tips for their hard work.” Rep. Abigail Whelan, R-Anoka, cit-ing her own experience as a barista as well as the service-industry work expe-rience of her mother and sister, said the bill would help struggling restaurants and “keep as many people employed as possible.” After misguided minimum-wage increases, Rep. Glenn Gruenha-gen, R-Glencoe, said H.F. 1027 is “a step back in the right direction.” The House adopted Garofalo’s de-lete-all amendment 77-56. Among oth-er changes, the amendment would add a ban on restaurants deducting credit-

card company fees from tipped work-ers’ wages — as proposed in H.F. 402, sponsored by Rep. Jim Davnie, DFL-Minneapolis. Despite that, Davnie urged a “no” vote on a bill he compared to “stand-ing on someone’s paycheck and jump-ing up and down and trying to make it smaller.” From among the dozen amendments that were offered, Garofalo said he could accept two: • requiring employers to inform pro-spective employees about lower mini-mum wage, by Rep. Ben Lien, DFL-Moorhead; and • rescinding Garofalo’s lower mini-mum wage at workplaces where the De-partment of Human Rights determines three or more probable-cause sexual harassment incidents have occurred, by Rep. Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul.

Students creating, sharing projects – a winning approachby Joe Nathan


For five hours on Saturday, March 14, I was mesmerized. Students taught me about a range of history subjects as I helped judge websites they produced for Minnesota History Day. Both research and experience show that what some people call “project-based learning” is a winning approach. Minnesota History Day allows students to create posters, presentations, research papers and websites on a topic – this year it is “Leadership and Legacy in History.” I was in the group at Harding High School in St. Paul that helped judge students’ web-sites, which covered an amazing array of subjects, such as IRA hunger strikers, Lee Lue (perhaps the first Hmong fighter pi-lot), Dorothea Dix, Henry Ford, Ray Kroc and McDonald’s, the Girl Scouts and sev-eral more. Other websites covered subjects ranging from John Dillinger, labor journal-ism, Motown, Nelson Mandela and Oskar Schindler. What impressed me over and over was how much the students told us

they learned, the creativity they brought to creation of the websites and the depth of information their websites conveyed. Minnesota History Day coordinator Tim Hoogland of the Minnesota Histori-cal Society told me: “Tens of thousands of Minnesota public and private school students, all over the state, participate. The numbers and the enthusiasm are growing.” Regional competitions similar to the one in St. Paul are being held throughout the state. Hoogland and his colleagues are he-roes. They understand that having students work on projects is a great way to generate enthusiasm, interest and, yes, learning. Researchers have studied the project-based approach and found many benefits.

It’s active. It’s focused. Working on a proj-ect they helped select engages students rather than allowing them to be passive listeners of a lecture. A group funded by Star Wars creator George Lucas found: “Studies comparing learning outcomes for students taught via project-based learning versus traditional instruction show that when implemented well, PBL increases long-term retention of content, helps students perform as well as or better than traditional learners in high-stakes tests, improves problem-solving and collaboration skills, and im-proves students’ attitudes towards learn-ing.” (Read more about that at http://bit.ly/1gF4wLM.) Other research on project-based learn-ing reached similar conclusions. One of the best research studies found similar results and added another point. Some young-sters who have not done well with tradi-tional approaches are “pleasant surprises” when given the opportunity to work on a project that they helped create. (A review of that research is available online at http://bit.ly/1AEkEFC.)

For more information about Minnesota His-tory Day and the people who help make it happen throughout the state, go to http://bit.ly/1AEtEun. Every minute of every school day can’t be devoted to projects. But projects, like those promoted by Minnesota History Day, appear to be one of the really well-researched, good ideas in education. Thanks to the Minnesota Historical So-ciety for being active promoters of active learning. Thanks also to Hoogland and his colleagues, who’ve taken a good idea and carried it out very well. And finally, thanks to Minnesota history teachers, who pro-mote and encourage students to partici-pate.

Proposed changes in teacher layoff process have merit, need hard look The Minnesota House of Representa-tives has passed a bill, authored by Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, calling for a major change in the way teacher lay-offs are conducted when finances, enroll-ments or instructional program changes call for reduction of teaching positions. A companion bill authored by Sen. Terri Bonoff, DFL-Minnetonka, has been laid over and may be considered at the end of the session. We encourage the Senate to join the House in considering the bill and favor teacher evaluation in layoff de-cisions. Minnesota’s teacher layoff process is controlled by the principle of last in first out; the least senior teachers lose their jobs first. The proposed legislation requires performance in the criteria for layoffs. Seniority no longer serves as the only control; quality of teaching would be considered. This makes all too much sense. Why would you release a more competent teacher to keep the less com-petent teacher because they have been in the position longer? We think the legislation has merit. But the proposal needs a great deal more thought. The process of teacher performance evaluation must be well defined and free from arbitrary, capricious, malicious or pecuniary motivation. It can’t be so

vague that it masks layoffs of the more senior teachers because they’re more ex-pensive; or the layoff of politically ac-tive teachers because someone doesn’t like their politic; or the layoff of teach-ers who hold social or religious beliefs that don’t conform with the beliefs of a board, administrator or a church or political group. Vindictiveness over per-sonal grudges can’t influence the evalu-ation. These are some of the reason why teacher tenure was first put in place. The teacher evaluation statute now in law relies heavily on peer evaluation or teacher-to-teacher evaluation. This pro-vision is a major position of Education Minnesota, the teachers’ union. We think that position has merit. However, oppo-nents of including evaluations in layoff decisions say the use of peer evaluations for teacher ratings and layoffs will lead to low morale and destroy team work. That’s a Catch 22. A quality peer-based evaluation system will recognize both adequate and inadequate improvement and great and poor teaching. Recogniz-ing and acting on both can build morale and add to the self respect of every good teacher, and we have good teachers in our schools.

Retaining teachers who are not meet-ing standards and making progress is an error. Letting good teachers go and keep-ing those who aren’t making improve-ment is a serious affront to students. The required resources for implement-ing the law need to be very specific and agreed to by the legislators before pass-ing the bill into law. Teacher time for evaluation should be funded or it will be time taken away from students. Unfund-ed mandates and failure to acknowledge real costs has spelled the doom of many great legislative initiatives, especially in education. Invest the money if we want results. Why invest billions in the system and then go cheap on the evaluation? Teacher layoff procedures are also a provision of negotiated contracts at the local district level. Successful implemen-tation of a plan changing “last in first out” will involve those agreements. A successful law with have to take into con-sideration the time, procedures and legal implications for new contracts. Some opponents to the inclusion of teacher evaluation in the layoff proce-dures may use the challenges of meth-ods, systems and funding to delay or kill the bill. There are those who will ignore the real needs for finance and evaluation methods to make the bill work and sim-ply hope for the best. Neither of these

positions will benefit students. Pass a bill that fully funds the needed elements for good systems of evaluation and includes specific schedules for using performance evaluation systems in layoff decisions. Adopt a date for compliance that acknowledges the current statutes for developing teacher evaluations and revisit the legislation each year to insure the original intent is adequately support-ed by legislative language and funding. Make adjustments but don’t abandon the intent. Two important elements of political fallout must be acknowledged. Passing the bill will be considered by some a defeat for unions and a victory for those who have a larger agenda of limit-ing the influence or destroying unions. If the bill fails, it will be considered a victory for unions and fuel the political battles. It will require quality leadership from both Republicans and Democrats to limit the political fallout and focus on improved learning for children by sup-porting quality teachers and rewarding quality teaching.

Help bridge cultural divide To the editor: Immigration is one of the most debated topics in America. In the endless debates among politicians, immigrants are often left out in the whirlpool of party politics. Immigrants, especially those who can’t speak English, have a re-ally tough time when they come to the states. Dakota County has a relatively low immigrant population, but as the Twin Cities population increases that number will swell. We need to a have a good-relations policy in place before this occurs. We could do this with a website geared toward in-forming immigrants on local and community af-fairs and translated in one’s preferred language. This website could seri-ously help our community by breaking down the wall that separates us and build better relations. I challenge city govern-ments to try and make it a

reality. It can truly build a great community for all.

Support universal preschoolTo the editor: I believe every 4-year-old in Minnesota should have equal access to qual-ity preschool. We know from research that pre-school improves learning throughout childhood, but the fact remains that not every child has access to it. I want to bring aware-ness to the issue because there are many families that desire to send their kids to preschool, howev-er, they cannot afford the extra expense, which is up-wards of $140 per week. Basing preschool upon a parent’s ability to pay has many problems be-cause every child is need of an early childhood education. Kindergarten standards are higher than

ever and many children will not be prepared to rise to the challenge. Universal preschool, as Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed, even if it is part time, will help ensure every child is ready to learn.

Stoplight was a sign of things to come To the editor: In reading recent letters concerning the Dakota County commissioners Lebanon Hills decision, it is understood why so many residents are upset … open public forum meetings held; yet, the commission-ers with their own agenda choose not to listen to the local concerns of resi-dents. A couple of years ago, Dakota County commis-sioners voted to relocate a stop light on Cedar Avenue/County Road 23 from 162nd Street to Grif-fon Trail/164th Street. In

contacting Commissioner Paul Krause (who was at the time represented this section of Lakeville) about the higher traffic volume and excessive speed of vehicles this change made for our neighborhood, I was provided with how much safer this stop light move added to Cedar Av-enue traffic; however, no mention or concern about our neighborhood’s safe-ty, concern for the higher traffic volume or excessive speed in the neighbor-hood. In follow-up dis-cussions with county of-ficials, I’ve been reminded to work with the city of Lakeville to resolve these safety issues. Thank you, Dakota County, for mak-ing this decision and now asking the local residents to clean up and pay for the county’s unsafe neighbor-hood action. Last year, Commission-er Mary Liz Holberg had a campaign mailer that read: “It’s time to take a

closer look …” and obvi-ously now that the election is over, no closer look is needed by any member of the commission. Residents concerned about maintenance ex-pense (as I am with the added new larger vehicles and added traffic travel-ing on Griffon Trail since the stop light move), ris-ing taxes, and neighbor-hood safety are not issues the Dakota County Board is interested in hearing about, so in many ways it was no surprise with the Lebanon Hills decision. As one resident said to me when meeting with neigh-bors to discuss upcoming meetings regarding neigh-borhood traffic safety on Griffon Trail: “What dif-ference is it going to make, they’ve all made up their mind … and why attend, anything we have to offer goes unnoticed.”

JERRY YASGARLakeville

Keep the surplus To the editor: When Gov. Tim Pawlenty left office, the state had a $6.2 billion deficit. Now, under the leadership of Gov. Mark Dayton, the state has re-bounded and is now pros-pering with a $1 billion surplus as of December. The Republican-led Min-nesota House wants to give the surplus back to the taxpayer, just as Gov. Jesse Ventura did before Minnesota began facing a hefty deficit. Bottom line, to give the money back to the taxpay-er again could be disad-vantageous should Minne-sota start facing another deficit in the future.

Eagan grandmother charged in infant grandson’s death

by Jessica HarperSUN THISWEEK


An Eagan woman faces felony manslaugh-ter charges in connection to the 2012 death of her 2-month-old grandson. Johanna Mercedes Limpert Beeler, 49, was charged on March 17 with felony second-degree manslaughter. Dakota County At-torney James Backstrom said the delay in criminal charges is unusual but that multiple prosecutors handled the case because of turnover within his of-fice and police were asked to further investigate the case. According to the crimi-nal complaint, Beeler’s daughter called police the afternoon of July 7, 2012, when she discovered her son, Brayden Michael Beeler, unresponsive and being held by Beeler. The woman told offi-cers she had gone to a par-ty with a friend the night before and left Brayden with her mother. When police arrived, Beeler was distraught, cry-ing and appeared to be in-toxicated: bloodshot, wa-

tery eyes, a short attention span and falling asleep while talking to investiga-tors. Beeler admitted to po-lice to having at least three vodka-cranberry cocktails with her daughter at a lo-cal restaurant the prior night. She then purchased a 375-milliliter bottle of vodka, poured it into wa-ter bottles and drank from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. July 7, 2012. She told police Brayden appeared fine around 9 a.m. and was not hungry when she tried to feed him. Beeler said she brought the baby to lay on the bed with her and fell asleep. When Beeler awoke around 1 p.m. that day, she found Brayden unrespon-sive and blood streamed from his nose when she picked him up. A subsequent autopsy that day was unable to determine the cause of death, but didn’t rule out suffocation. About an hour after police arrived, Beeler took a preliminary breath test that revealed a blood alco-hol level of 0.187 and was taken to the hospital for a suspected overdose. At

7:34 p.m., her blood alco-hol was recorded as 0.16. Beeler’s daughter told police her mother has a long history of alcoholism and mental health issues and is unstable. Beeler has a 2011 con-viction for driving while impaired and a subse-quent conviction for driv-ing after her license was re-voked. Beeler also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft in 2013. If convicted, Beeler could face up to 10 years in prison. She is expected to appear in a Dakota County District Court on April 6.

Soliday selected next director of elementary education in District 196 Echo Park Elementary School Principal Sally Soliday has been selected to be the next director of Elementary Education for the Rosemount-Ap-ple Valley-Eagan Public Schools, Superintendent Jane K. Berenz announced March 20. Soliday will replace Ju-lie Olson, who announced this winter that she is re-tiring at the end of this school year after 38 years in District 196, the last 11 as director of the Elemen-tary Education Depart-ment. Prior to that, she was principal at Diamond Path Elementary School

and an elementary teacher in the district. Soliday has been the principal of Echo Park Elementary in Burnsville since 1997. She started working in the district in 1980 as an elementary teacher. After returning from a family move to Oklahoma, she was re-hired as a teacher at Echo Park in 1992. Two years later, Soliday became a teacher on special assign-ment, mentoring teachers and working with curricu-lum before she was hired to be Echo Park’s princi-pal in 1997. As the director of El-

ementary Education, Soli-day will oversee school-based preschool through grade five at the district’s 18 elementary schools. Soliday will take over in her new position July 1. The process of hiring a new principal for Echo Park has already begun. Soliday has a bachelor’s degree in elementary edu-cation from Bemidji State University, a master’s de-gree in curriculum and instruction from the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and a specialist degree in edu-cational leadership from Minnesota State Univer-sity, Mankato.

District 192 releases scorecard by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEK


The Farmington School District unveiled this week its district score-card, which intends to be a hub of data that measures progress toward the dis-trict’s strategic plan goals. It covers six areas the district would like to mea-sure and develop. They include customizing to student strengths; learning and innovation skill, aca-demic performance; oper-ations; impact of learning in service; and culture for

learning and innovation. “It’s a live document,” Director of Educational Programs Barb Duffrin said. “Data will continue to be collected and post-ed.” The Farmington School Board intention in having the scorecard established was to gather specific metrics and data to iden-tify areas of strengths and those that needed atten-tion. There are goals under each area of measure-ment, which are set by the district color coded with

red, yellow and green de-pending on how close they are to meeting goals. Items such as commu-nity support and realis-tic budgets were cited as green, while college readi-ness was red. “I’m encouraged that they’re setting goals that aren’t all green,” Board Chair Julie Singewald said. “I appreciate the fact that we’re striving to get where we want to be.” The district scorecard can be viewed on the dis-trict’s website.


plus money to increase the general education funding formula.

Community

Education? District officials dis-cussed what it would look like if the board decides to cut elementary band and middle school ath-letics during Monday’s meeting. For elementary band, music teachers would meet with students af-ter school and meet as a group on Saturday morn-ings through Community Education at a cost of approximately $200 per year. This school year there are 299 students in fifth-grade band. Community

Education Director Heidi Cunningham said she es-timated Community Edu-cation could handle 225 students. Cunningham said it might be a struggle to find teachers, but she said she thought implement-ing the program was do-able by September. Community Education already offers lessons and other music programs, but Cunningham said it might be a challenge to find the right instructors because they’re currently the elementary instruc-tors. Athletic Director Bill Tschida said the middle school athletics proposal would make cross coun-try, girls swimming and golf combined activi-ties with the high school. Boys swimming is already

a sport combining both middle school and high school. He would leave track, tennis and wrestling as it is because there are lo-gistical and competition complications. Because of partici-pation numbers, soccer would be an intramural program. Volleyball would com-bine its two programs at Dodge and Boeckman Middle Schools into one. Football had options. One was an after-school program that would cost about $383 per student, about $200 more than they’re paying now, but it would look like it does now. Other options in-clude an evening pro-gram that would be less expensive, or keeping the eighth-grade team as is,

which is more expensive to the district. He also noted that Dis-trict 196 middle school sports competes entirely in-house and remains competitive in the South Suburban Conference.

Busing Tschida said the Lakeville Area School District does one-way busing for sporting con-tests except for football and for section playoffs, but the return home is often supplemented through booster clubs. “That’s not going to happen down here for several programs for sev-eral years,” Tschida said. He said many of the booster clubs are in their infancy. “I would prefer to keep doing what we’re doing,”

he said. “It’s safer and it creates a better team at-mosphere.”

Class size Director of Educa-tional Programs Barb Duffrin said Farming-ton’s class size targets are above average, according to a study of 36 metro districts. It’s approach-ing 40 in the high school and there a few hot spots throughout the elemen-tary and middle school where class size is more than 30. Some classes such as Advanced Placement and other lower-enrollment courses may be in jeop-ardy. High School Principal Jason Berg said it would be hard committing lim-ited resources and justify offering a class with just

15 students since so many other classes have more students. Classes will be offered in registration, but one of the disclaimers is that a class might not run based on registration numbers. One of the district’s annual solutions to high attendance is using one of four unallocated full-time positions to reduce class sizes by placing a teacher in a grade level at the su-perintendent’s discretion, but the budget realign-ment could reduce that to

two.

The Vermillion River Watershed Organization is also in the process of designing a watershed restoration protection strategy and presented information on the im-paired waters during a Farmington City Coun-cil workshop earlier this month. Thiel didn’t label them as significant changes, but rather a more com-prehensive and concise look at what the organi-zation can do. It’s part of a statewide effort in deal-ing with impaired waters. “They can be anything from regulations to a city project to a backyard rain garden or rain barrel,” Thiel said. “The biggest difference is that the ur-ban communities are go-ing to end up with a legal-ly binding document that they’re working toward these goals.” The biggest thing the organization would like

to do is repair the buf-fers along the waterways, something Dakota Coun-ty is nearly 100 percent compliant with, Thiel said. “Incorporated areas could use some improve-ment, but in urban areas, regulations do a good job and we’re not as wor-ried about impact from new development,” Thiel said. “It’s those areas that didn’t have some type of stormwater manage-ment.” A proposed bill in the Minnesota Legislature would update existing laws to make a 50-foot buffer rule for all lakes, streams, ditches and riv-ers filtering and slowing runoff during storms. It would also reduce erosion and flooding. “Vegetative buffers would go a long way for our stream restoration projects,” Thiel said. Vermillion River tribu-taries are in need of some remodeling as well. Mid-

dle Creek is going to be rerouted during the sum-mer to a more meander-ing flow. It will also have a larger buffer zone and a new pond. “We’re bringing back the more natural features of the stream,” Thiel said. “We just got approved by the Army Corps of Engi-neers to do the project.” South Creek would also need a 50-foot buffer and new trees to keep the creek cool. In Lakeville, the or-ganization is retrofitting Hamburg Avenue to force stormwater into ditches. Other potential proj-ects include stormwater management of older neighborhoods and the restoration of wetlands. The Vermillion River Watershed Organization will assist in the cost or pay the entire cost of any projects. “Our organization is here to offset some finan-cial impacts and we’ll try to minimize the costs to

many of the landowners to get these projects in the ground,” Thiel said. The Farmington City Council recently amend-ed two ordinances to stay current with stormwater discharge and pollution standards set by the Min-nesota Pollution Control Agency. The intent is to slow and stop stormwater from running over the surface of the land to pick up pollution and depositing it into the local streams and rivers. “That’s something we do not want,” said Jen-nifer Dullum, a natural resource specialist with Farmington. Sediment control, which is stopping soil from reaching the water, was added to the erosion control ordinance. Also, when land changes from an agricul-ture area, the stormwater runoff needs to remain the same for new develop-ments. In redevelopment,

there needs to be a reduc-tion. “The whole intent is to stop this from getting things to the Vermillion River,” City Engineer Kevin Schorzman said. There is the provision of site mitigation, such as creating more stormwater ponds. “We build regional ponds all over the place that aren’t just designed to handle the runoff from that development,” Schorzman said. “They’re designed for runoff from other developments to come into it.” Farmington has more than 100 storm ponds, and there will be a few dredged this summer. Schorzman said if the city sticks to the plan, there shouldn’t be a problem. The health of the Ver-million River isn’t a new issue. In 2013, a combined project with the Depart-ment of Natural Resourc-

es and Trout Unlimited shifted and removed soil along the banks between Coates and Hampton be-cause it restricted flood-waters from escaping the channel. They created a flood plain around the river so the river can spread out. The DNR also in-stalled rock structures in shallow areas and volun-teers planted trees along the banks, both helping with insect and fish habi-tat. In 2011, the DNR, the Vermillion River Water-shed Organization and Trout Unlimited complet-ed a meandering project, where the river was re-stored to a more natural, twisting state, 3 miles east of Farmington.

Local men convicted in Mustafa family crime ring case Four Dakota County men are among 20 defen-dants to plead guilty in the U.S. Attorney’s Office case against the Mustafa Or-ganization, a Twin Cities-based crime ring indicted for trafficking stolen and fraudulently obtained cell-phones and tablets. Jamal Talal Mustafa, aka Jimmy, 42, of Apple Valley, was the alleged leader of the crime ring, which obtained devices by robbery, burglary, identity theft and contract-fraud schemes, according to prosecutors. He has plead-ed guilty to conspiracy to engage in interstate trans-portation of stolen goods and conspiracy to defraud the government with re-spect to claims. Other Dakota County men entering guilty pleas in the case include: Naser Mohamad Mus-tafa, aka “Nasty Nas,” 24, of Rosemount, was convicted of conspiracy to

engage in interstate trans-portation of stolen goods. Edwan T. Mustafa, aka Eddy, 40, of Apple Valley, and Talal M. Mustafa, aka Tommy, 43, of Burnsville, were each convicted of conspiracy to engage in interstate transportation of stolen goods, as well as false, fictitious or fraudu-lent claims. According to the de-fendants’ guilty pleas and court documents, from 2006 through 2014, mem-bers of the Mustafa family and their associates used stolen identity information and other criminal means to obtain at least $20 mil-lion worth of cellphones and other mobile devices for trafficking through-out the United States and overseas. The six Mustafa broth-ers owned and operated 13 mobile device stores in the Twin Cities area, which were used to buy illegally obtained mobile devices,

prosecutors said. Members of the Musta-fa organization paid run-ners to steal mobile devices using stolen identification documents, according to prosecutors. They resold the stolen phones and tab-lets for substantial profits that were then distributed among themselves to pay rent, utilities, payroll and other expenses. The crime ring also falsified loan applications and provided false docu-mentation to get loans for vehicles that were used to transport stolen devices, according to court docu-ments. Charges were brought against 21 defendants following a criminal in-vestigation that included the U.S. Secret Services, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Internal Revenue Ser-vice, several Twin Cities police departments, and other agencies.

Finding the faces lost in Vietnam‘Faces Never Forgotten’ needs help in honoring Vietnam War casualties

by Sam SchaustMURPHY NEWS SERVICE

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Minnesota is on track to join the ranks of four other states in memorial-izing those who died in the Vietnam War. The records of the 58,282 names carved on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., were destroyed in a monstrous military personnel records fire in 1973. The Faces Never For-gotten campaign began as a Vietnam Veterans Memo-rial Fund project and has gained traction with Amer-icans nationwide. Efforts to reimagine the long-gone collection of names with a photo and/or short biogra-phy are reaching for the fin-ish line. Through extensive re-search, VVMF has taken the stockpile of names from the Vietnam Memo-rial Wall and broken them down by casualty date and military branch. The home-town for each man and woman was also recovered to bring a localized focus to the recovery effort. Minnesota has been ex-traordinarily cooperative in bringing back human-ity to these heroic names, said Andrew Johnson, a volunteer for VVMF and National Newspaper Asso-ciation board member. “It began with at least 1,071 names needing photos, and right now it is down to only 15.” Wyoming was the first state to complete its list, followed by New Mexico and then North and South Dakota. States with larger populations still have hun-dreds of unknown identi-ties, although similar Mid-west states, like Wisconsin (with 64 names to go), have more work to do to reach their goal than Minnesota. “On Feb. 23, we passed the 40,000 mark,” said

George DeCastro, program coordinator of Faces Never Forgotten. “We get a lot of response from newspaper clippings. Between mail, email and website submis-sions, up to 10-15 photos are given each day.” VVMF is aiming to un-cover as many of the pic-tures and stories behind the names by Memorial Day this year. DeCastro hopes to have the project finished before the planned educa-tion center across the street from the Vietnam Memo-rial Wall is built in 2019. “When the center is built, you will be able to browse those profiles,” De-Castro said. Loved ones will be forever on display within the construct of the new underground educa-

tion center. Of the 15 Minnesotans still being sought none of them have a Dakota Coun-ty city or township listed as their residence. “We want to human-ize them by showing where they grew up, getting a story from their parents, or who they went to prom with … pretty much any-thing,” said Reed Anfinson, a Benson, Minn., newspa-per publisher and member of the National Newspaper Association. “Hopefully someone will recognize some of these remaining names and at least put us in touch with their family.” To publish a photo (and accompanying biography) to any one of the missing names, contact DeCastro

at 202-393-0090 (extension 128) or by email [email protected]. Submis-sions can also be made at vvmf.org/how-to-submit.

Lakeville man federally indicted for child pornography

by Laura AdelmannSUN THISWEEK


A Lakeville man was charged on March 18 with one count of production of child pornography in U.S. Dis-trict Court after the Minnesota National Guard mem-ber allegedly induced a 14-year-old Lakeville girl to send him nude photos of herself while he was deployed in Afghanistan. Andrew Schiller, 28, allegedly contacted the girl via Skype and requested she send sexually explicit images of herself to him in repeated conversations with the her that occurred between Sept. 23, 2013, and Jan. 12, 2014, according to the indictment. The girl allegedly sent several images to Schiller in response to his request including at least one sexually explicit image. According to the indictment and the government’s request for pretrial detention, Schiller also used numer-ous media platforms to communicate with dozens of teenage girls while overseas. In these communications, he was cited as using his military status and deploy-ment overseas to elicit sympathy and interest, accord-ing to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The pretrial detention request states during one week last March, Schiller utilized his MyLOL profile to contact 86 girls between the ages of 13 and 17. MyLOL advertises itself as the country’s No. 1 on-line teen dating site and its terms prohibit anyone over 20 years old from accessing the site. Officials also allegedly discovered multiple conver-sations, typically of a sexual nature, with minor females on Schiller’s cellphone, and evidence he would regular-ly request a minor victim provide him online contact information for other minor females as young as 10 years old. Authorities allege they also found multiple sexually explicit photos he had allegedly received from and sent to teen girls on his cellphone and tablet. The prosecution occurred after a Missouri mom discovered inappropriate Facebook communications between her minor daughter and Schiller, according to the pretrial detention request. That detention request states that Schiller told an Army criminal investigator he initially saved pictures he had received from several minors but deleted them after realizing he was in a “dark period” and doing “stupid things.” The document also alleges Schiller admitted to searching the Internet using terms that included “un-derage girls” and “naughty teens,” and purposefully enticing underage girls to have sexually explicit conver-sations and take inappropriate pictures. Schiller was ordered to be imprisoned until trial to ensure his appearance in court and safety of the com-munity. It was noted that he in the midst of a separa-tion from the National Guard. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the FBI Minneapolis Field Office at 763-569-8000.


LSHS senior wins Miss Teen Minnesota

Nicole Doyle will compete in nationals this summer by Laura Adelmann


For Nicole Doyle, the greatest thing about win-ning Miss Teen Minnesota International on March 14 isn’t the crown or scholar-ship or even going on to national competition, but the opportunity to tell the world arthritis is not just a disease of the elderly. The Lakeville South High School senior was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when she was just 3 years old. “It started with a swol-len finger,” Doyle said. The pediatrician dis-missed her burning, pain-ful and swollen finger as a minor injury that may have occurred while she was playing, but her mom suspected it was some-thing more and kept seek-ing second opinions. Eventually, an adult rheumatologist diagnosed Doyle with juvenile ar-thritis, and her life forever changed to include treat-ments and bitter-tasting medications that made her nauseous. Living with arthritis “can be tough,” Doyle said, and most people do not realize children can have the disease. “That’s where my (Miss Teen Minnesota) platform (‘Kids Get Arthritis Too’) comes from,” Doyle said. “Everybody says I didn’t know kids could get ar-thritis. I heard it was only for old people.” Juvenile arthritis is a painful auto-immune dis-ease that causes inflamed joints, but can also involve the eyes, skin and gastro-intestinal track. It has no known cure and its cause is unknown. Coping with the chron-ic illness is challenging and affects the whole family. Doyle said she hated taking the bitter medicines that her mom would des-perately try to cover up in her food or drink, “I remember being a little spitfire sneaking up-stairs claiming that I will only drink it alone, yet secretly I was pouring it down the sink to avoid being sick and missing school. I loved school and I wanted to go!” Doyle wrote on her Miss Teen website nicoledoyle.net.

She said “every once in a while” she is not in pain, but most days must fight through it. “Sometimes, I don’t want to get out of bed,” Doyle said. “But it’s im-portant to get moving and then it starts to feel bet-ter.” Doyle has pushed her-self to be active in school, participate in gym class and even play on school lacrosse and hockey teams but there were times when the pain made her late with her homework or forced her to the sidelines on the team. Often, Doyle said it was hard to get teachers and coaches to understand the issues since she wasn’t wearing a cast or obvious-ly injured. Despite the challeng-es, Doyle is on track to graduate this spring with a year of college completed thanks to taking post-sec-ondary enrollment classes at Normandale Commu-nity College. Doyle hopes to pursue a nursing degree and even-tually work her way to a career as a nurse anesthe-tist.

She said being involved in the pageant was a fun experience and described being crowned Miss Teen Minnesota as exciting. “I was really on cloud nine,” Doyle said. “It still hasn’t set in with me. I’m so excited to have this ti-tle and to be able to talk about my platform.” Anyone seeking more information, or families concerned about the ill-ness, can go to the kidsge-tarthritistoo.org website. “I want to education parents to help them be knowledgeable so if they see it in their kids, they don’t pass it off so it doesn’t get to the point of needing joint replace-ment,” Doyle said. Doyle will compete on July 27 for the title of Miss Teen International 2015 in Jacksonville, Fla. To request Doyle for appearances go to mis-steenminnesota.com/ap-pearance.php or email her at [email protected].

SportsSection realignment: Who’s going where?New arrangement

could create super-section for

wrestlingby Mike Shaughnessy


Every two years the Minnesota State High School League realigns its sections for athletics and activities – and every two years coaches, adminis-trators and athletes either breathe a sigh of relief or grumble under their breath about how things shook out. Enrollment changes, new teams, the creation or dissolution of coop-erative teams and “opt-ups” – teams wishing to play in a larger enrollment class – require that section boundaries be adjusted periodically. In addition, MSHSL says every six years it is asked to create section boundaries as if none had existed previ-ously. “Normally, we try to make as few changes as possible, but every six years we are asked to start from scratch. This was a ‘start from scratch’ year,” the MSHSL said in a news release. Once teams are as-signed to enrollment class-es, geography – and not competitive balance – de-termines where teams are placed, the MSHSL says. There is no appeal process for teams unhappy about where they were placed. Recently the MSHSL released its competitive section assignments for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years. Here’s a look at how some teams in the Sun Thisweek and Dako-ta County Tribune areas could be affected:

Football Prior Lake returns to Class 6A, Section 3, re-placing Park of Cottage Grove, which was reas-signed to Class 5A. This likely will affect only the seedings in Section 3 be-cause of changes in the Class 6A playoff format that were approved last month that will make it impossible for teams from the same section to face

each other in the first two rounds. Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview, Farmington, Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Rosemount are the other teams in Class 6A, Section 3. Apple Valley has some new rivals in Class 5A, Section 3, including St. Thomas Academy, Park, Hastings and Henry Sib-ley.

Wrestling Apple Valley, Prior Lake and Shakopee were three of the strongest pro-grams in Class 3A last sea-son. For at least the next two years, no more than one of them can go to the state team tournament be-cause they are part of a revamped Section 2, which also includes Burnsville, Eastview, Lakeville North and Rosemount. Eagan did not join the caravan to Section 2. The Wildcats will remain in Section 3, where Hastings appears to be their biggest obstacle to reaching the state tourney. Farmington defeated Hastings in the Class 3A, Section 1 championship match in February. Hast-ings’ move to Section 3 takes away one of the Ti-gers’ biggest section rivals. Lakeville South shifts to Section 1, replacing Hast-ings.

Boys hockey For several years

Burnsville has been butt-ing heads with Edina in the Section 2AA playoffs, with Edina getting the bet-ter of it every time. Now the Blaze and Hornets are being split up, with Burnsville moving to Sec-tion 3AA to join Apple Valley, Bloomington Jef-ferson, Eagan, East Ridge, Eastview, Hastings, Park, Rosemount and defend-ing champion St. Thomas Academy. Lakeville North, Lakev-ille South and Farmington remain in Section 1AA. Those three schools were the top seeds in the 2014 Section 1AA tourney.

Girls hockey Bloomington Jefferson replaces Henry Sibley in Section 3AA, which also has Apple Valley, Burns-ville, Eagan, Rosemount and defending cham-pion Eastview. Lakeville South, Lakeville North and Farmington remain in Section 1AA.

Boys basketball Defending Class 4A champion Apple Valley won’t have to deal with Cretin-Derham Hall in the Section 3 tournament because the Raiders were moved to Section 4. Also moving out was East Ridge, also to Section 4. Burnsville (previously in Section 2) and Hastings (previously in Section 1) now join Section 3. Four-time Class 4A,

Section 1 champion Lakeville North has two new teams to deal with – Lakeville South (coming from Section 1) and New Prague (a Class 3A state tourney qualifier this sea-son).

Girls basketball Lakeville South moves from Class 4A, Sec-tion 2 to Section 1, join-ing Lakeville North and Farmington. In Class 4A, Section 3, Cretin-Derham Hall and East Ridge move out and Burnsville and Hastings move in, joining Eastview, Apple Valley, Rosemount and Eagan.

Cross country East Ridge, which fin-ished fourth in the 2014 state Class AA girls meet, is new to Section 3AA, which also has the boys and girls teams from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount. Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Farmington re-main in Section 1.

Swimming Significant reshuf-fling. The Lakeville North and Lakeville South girls teams move to Section 1AA, where their com-petition will be Farming-ton, Hastings, Owatonna and the Rochester public schools. Eagan, which won the boys Section 2AA and state team championships

in 2015, moves from Sec-tion 2AA to Section 3AA, joining Apple Valley, Ea-gan, Eastview and Rose-mount. Burnsville goes to Section 2AA, which has state powers such as Eden Prairie and Minnetonka.

Baseball, softball Both sports expand to four classes for the 2015-16 school year, meaning the largest class typically will have eight teams per section, rather than 12. For baseball, the re-alignment (not in effect this spring) will place Farmington, Lakeville North and Lakeville South in Class 4A, Section 1, and Apple Valley, Burns-ville, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount in Section 3. It’s almost the same in softball, except Burnsville will be in Section 2 for that sport.

Volleyball It’s back to Class 3A, Section 1 for Lakev-ille North and Lakeville South, which had played in Section 3 the last sev-eral years. Farmington re-mains in Section 1. Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount remain in Section 3. Burnsville goes to Section 6, joining Bloomington Kennedy and Jefferson, several west metro schools and several Minneapolis public schools.

Soccer Few changes for local teams. Lakeville North,

Lakeville South and Farmington remain in Section 1AA for girls and boys soccer. In Section 3AA boys, Cretin-Derham Hall and St. Paul Central move to Section 3AA to join schools such as Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount.

Tennis Prior Lake, the state’s strongest girls tennis pro-gram not named Edina, will be moved out of Sec-tion 3AA. That likely will benefit teams such as Eagan and Rosemount, which remain in Section 3AA. The high school league dealt Apple Valley, Burns-ville and Eastview a tough hand by moving them to Section 6AA, which in-cludes 18-time defending state Class AA champion Edina.

Lacrosse Section 3, which had consisted mainly of South Suburban Conference schools, will change after the 2015 spring season. Eagan and Rosemount will stay in Section 3 but Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eastview are headed to Section 6 to join the Bloomington schools, Edina, Prior Lake and a Minneapolis public school co-op team.

She lifted 56 kilograms (123 pounds) in the snatch and 66 ki-lograms (145 pounds) in the clean and jerk for a to-tal of 126 kilograms (275 pounds). In the boys varsity di-vision, Michael Schiller set state records of 148 kilograms (325 pounds) in the clean and jerk and 258 kilograms (568 pounds) in the combined.

Bryce Jorgenson (62Kg). Luke Simon (62Kg), Andy Grahn (105+Kg) and Gerrit Olsen (94Kg) took third place. Alex Garling-ton was fourth in the 69Kg weight class and Jacob En-gel was fifth at 94Kg. Eric Voxland also competed for Burnsville at 77Kg. Lifters from Lakeville South and Rosemount also competed in the state meet. Lakeville South’s Madison Griffin was fourth in the girls varsity 75+Kg weight class. Ali-cia Vogel was first in the girls junior varsity 69+Kg class. Maddie Differding (58Kg) and Mary Robert-son (69Kg) were runners-up in the junior varsity division. South’s Connor Rouse-miller lifted 230Kg in the two events to win the boys varsity championship in the 105Kg weight class. The Cougars’ Jake An-derson (255Kg) and Eric Rousemiller (235Kg) were first and second in the var-sity 105+Kg division. Alyssa Smith of Rose-mount lifted 130Kg to win the girls varsity champion-ship in the 69Kg division. Andrea Holtz (58Kg) and Theresa Hausmann (63Kg) finished first in the girls junior varsity divi-sion. Erich Hoffmann (56Kg) and Logan Bruce (105Kg) were Rosemount’s top fin-ishers in the boys varsity division, with each taking third place.

Notebook: honors for football coachesby Mike Shaughnessy


Two of the state’s most successful football coach-es will be honored in the coming weeks. On Saturday, the Min-nesota Football Coaches Association will induct Paul Miller into its hall of fame during a ban-quet at DoubleTree Park Place Hotel in Minneapo-lis. Miller coached Apple Valley High School to state championships in 1986 and 1993. Three of his Eagles teams also were state runners-up. After stepping down as Apple Valley’s head coach in the mid-1990s, Miller coached at several places in Minnesota, including serving as head coach at three different colleges (St. Olaf, Hamline and Minnesota-Crookston). He also was a head coach at South St. Paul and Burnsville high schools and currently is an assis-tant coach at South St. Paul, his alma mater. He also has been an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota. Also in this year’s Hall of Fame class are Totino-Grace coach Jeff Ferguson and BOLD High School coach Steve Solem. Jim Becker, a social studies teacher at Eagan High School, will receive a distinguished service award. Among Becker’s football duties has been serving as assistant di-rector of the Minnesota

High School All-Star Game. John Sherman, sports editor at Sun-Sailor and Sun-Current newspa-pers, will go into the hall of fame’s citation divi-sion. The Sun-Sailor and Sun-Current are owned by ECM Publishers Inc., also the parent company of Sun Thisweek News-papers and the Dakota County Tribune. On May 3, former Burnsville High School coach Dick Hanson will receive the 2015 John Ga-gliardi Legacy Award at the Minnesota Football Honors banquet at the Minneapolis Hilton. In 24 years (1969-1993) as head coach, Hanson led the Burnsville program to a 192-56-2 record, 11 con-ference championships, 11 section championships and state championships in 1972, 1980, 1985, 1989 and 1991. The BHS football field is named for Hanson. He also was a member of the Burnsville High School Hall of Fame’s inaugural class and was inducted into the Minnesota Foot-ball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2012. He also earned several honors as a mathematics teacher, including being runner-up for National Teacher of the Year in 1969.

Moving on Lakeville South boys hockey coach Kurt We-ber and Farmington girls basketball coach Sondra

Chadwick recently an-nounced their resigna-tions. Weber started the Lakeville South hockey program and served as its head coach for 10 years. In a letter to South hockey boosters, he said he want-ed to spend more time with his family, particu-larly his grandchildren. He also said he wanted to devote more time to his non-hockey interests, which include a custom woodworking business. Weber led Lakeville South to two state tourna-ment appearances, includ-ing a third-place finish in 2012. Weber also coached 2012 Mr. Hockey award winner Justin Kloos, who’s now playing for the University of Minnesota. In 2014-15, Lakeville South finished 15-11-1 and tied for third place in the South Suburban Con-ference. Chadwick’s last Farm-ington girls basketball team went 3-24, in part because the Tigers were without one of their top players – Chadwick’s daughter Sofia, who missed the season because of a knee injury.

All-star coach Brian Vossen of Lakev-ille North was named head coach of the South team for the Minnesota Football Coaches As-sociation Tackle Cancer All-Star Football Game, scheduled June 27 at St. Cloud State University. Vossen has been Lakev-

ille North coach the last five seasons. His teams have gone 46-11 with four state playoff appearanc-es, including a Class 6A runner-up finish in 2013. He will be the first coach from the South Suburban Conference to be a head coach in the all-star game since the SSC started in 2010. Vossen’s staff will in-clude retired Burnsville coach Jay Anderson and Rosemount native Sean McMenomy, the head coach at De La Salle. Derrin Lamker of Os-seo will be head coach of the North team. Rosters will be announced later this spring.

Lighting

the match Sophomore Megan Wolfe of Eagan scored the first goal in Minne-sota’s 4-1 victory over Harvard in the NCAA women’s hockey national championship game Sun-day at Ridder Arena. The Gophers (34-3-4) won their sixth national championship. Wolfe, who played both forward and defense this season, had 19 points (three goals, 16 assists) and a plus-41 rating. Wolfe was a two-time all-state player at Eagan High School and helped the Wildcats reach the state tournament in her junior season.

From the Archives

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Thisweek News regularly published an item called “Criswell Predicts,” a nationally syndicated column from the dubious yet often highly entertaining psychic The Amazing Criswell. With predictions touching on everything from fashion trends and political upheavals to alien invasion and technological advances oddly evocative of “The Jetsons,” the columns offer an amusing window into a future that never came to pass. Consider this nugget from “Criswell Predicts” in the Sept. 8, 1980 edition of Thisweek News: “I predict young men and women will wear transparent swimsuits next summer, poolside and beachside, in spite of puritan objections from many groups! This will reveal the boys from the girls!” Some predictions read like classic science fiction, as seen in a paragraph-length prognostication titled “Big Meal Pill” from Oct. 20, 1980: “I predict in the near fabulous future you will be able to buy a pill that will be equal to a seven-course meal! These will have a slight after effect — slight belch so you may taste the various foods which have been dehydrated!” In The Amazing Criswell’s vision of the future, there will be wonders galore — wonders so startling that exclamation points are often needed to convey their full impact.

Farmington writer Ron Runeborg is the featured speaker at the Rosemount Area Arts Council’s next “Meet the Author” event on Tuesday, April 7, at the Robert Trail Library.

On what was once a previously a plain white wall, a colorful tableau now greets guests at the Wescott Library in Ea-gan. Minneapolis artist Julie Prairie created the mural — depicting a mas-sive open book showing a river scene with boats and wildlife, along with a quote by Dr. Seuss — in the children’s area at the library in January and February. Prairie, who will be at the Wescott Library on April 13 for a meet-and-greet to celebrate comple-tion of the mural, has been the lead muralist at the Minnesota Children’s Museum since 1995 and

has done theater paint-ing for venues such as the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, Mixed Blood Theatre, and Park Square Theatre. The mural in the Wescott children’s area is her third project at

the Eagan library. She’d previously been commis-sioned to paint trees on the library’s big gray pil-lars, along with a trans-portation-themed tableau beneath the windows. Prairie worked on her latest mural during the day, while the library was open, and part of the fun was interacting with li-brary patrons as she un-dertook the sketching and painting process. “I saw some families over and over again,” she said. “I especially loved talking with the children. Some were really interest-ed and would give me sug-gestions — ‘I think you should put a bird right there.’ ” The mural project re-ceived funding through the Friends of the Wescott
