Minnesota caucuses planned March 1

Super Tuesday will help shape the presidential candidate field

by Seth RoweSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesotans will help determine who becomes the nominees for president of the United States on Super Tuesday, March 1. Precinct caucuses for the Republican Party and DFL Party, which is aligned with the national Democratic Party, will be-gin 7 p.m. at sites through-out the state. The chairs of each par-ty said they are expecting a large turnout. DFL Party Chair Ken Martin, of Eagan, advised people caucusing for the party to register at their local caucuses at 6:30 p.m. while Keith Downey, chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota, is encouraging people to arrive by 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. to ensure time to register and find seats. Caucuses entail the election of local party of-ficers and the proposal of resolutions for the party platform, but the first or-der of business will be the presidential preference ballot. This year, the results will be binding for both parties, meaning that the delegates selected must

Council expected to consider bond referendum Rosemount city staff working to finalize proposal before Wednesday, March 2

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK


The Rosemount City Council at its Wednesday meeting is likely to con-sider approval of a mea-sure that would have the city seeking a bond ref-erendum that could fund improvements in the city’s Parks and Recreation De-partment. A list of items that could be included in the scope has been reviewed by council members and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission in recent weeks after the city conducted several meet-ings with potential user

groups over the past year. Two options show an estimated $14 million to $15 million in total project costs, but the final scope of items included in a ref-erendum have not been set. City Administrator Dwight Johnson said of-ficials had met with the city attorney on Tuesday as they were working to fi-nalize the item for consid-eration. City staff has pared the list of possible projects after eliminating several proposed improvements to Flint Hills Fields and UMore Park Fields and determining that building a new sheet of ice at a new

location would be cheaper than adding one at the Rosemount Community Center and Armory loca-tion where the current ice arena is. According to a staff re-port, placing a new sheet of ice at another location is estimated to be about $4 million cheaper than plac-ing it at the Community Center, which staff said would present additional building and renovation costs. Among the items that could be included in the referendum and the esti-mated costs that were re-viewed at the Feb. 22 Parks and Recreation Commis-

sion meeting are: • A new sheet of ice, $8.49 million. • Four playfields, park-ing and driveway at Flint Hills Fields, $2.69 million. • Two fields, parking and lights at UMore Park Fields, $1.79 million. • A plaza that would be used for ice skating and natural play area at Cen-tral Park, $1.08 million. When asked if the city had surveyed the tax toler-ance of Rosemount resi-dents, Johnson said the city has conducted surveys that asked about the interest in adding specific facilities but not questions related to a bond referendum.

He said summit meet-ings with the Rosemount Area Hockey Association, Rosemount Area Athletic Association and REV Soc-cer have resulted in send-ing the general message that there is a shortage of outdoor and indoor facili-ties. Johnson said that led the City Council to placing consideration of a bond referendum to pay for Parks and Recreation De-partment improvements among its 2016 goals.

Lakeville’s Priore makes run for Senate District 58 Fourth candidate seeking Republican endorsement

by Laura AdelmannSUN THISWEEK


A Lakeville tax attor-ney is seeking the Republi-can nomination to succeed the retiring Dave Thomp-son as senator in District 58. Mark Priore, 43, said he is running for the Sen-ate seat to help reduce the size and scope of govern-ment. A U.S. Navy veteran, Priore said he is concerned with the overall direction of government after years of witnessing how govern-ment actions, regulations

and taxes n e g at ive -ly affect w o r k i n g people. “ M y interest is protecting the inter-est of this community and to build on the leadership that Dave has established,” Priore said. He said he supports lim-iting government spending and focusing resources on core government services while reducing taxes where possible. Priore said he opposes

the Democrats and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton’s push for state sales tax and 16-cent gas tax increases. “With a $1.2 billion surplus, I think certain-ly there’s some room to move,” Priore said. He cited support for the Republican transportation plan that raises $7 billion over the next decade for roads and bridges without raising taxes. Priore said business property tax relief is also needed, and advocated for Minnesota’s estate tax level to be the same as the federal tax level.

He also called for changing or repealing some regulations that give power to various govern-mental agencies that have the full force and effect of the law. “Whether or not you know they exist, it doesn’t matter,” Priore said. “There are tons of regula-tions out there that people don’t even know about, and the point is to get the Legislature to start look-ing at those regulations to see where the delegating authority can be reigned in.” Priore said the Metro-

politan Council has been given too much authority and he supports represen-tatives being elected or ap-pointed by member units of government, and not appointed by the gover-nor. “(The Met Council is) branching off into areas which the delegation has never authorized or in-tended,” Priore said. “I think there’s work that needs to be done there in changing government reg-ulations to kind of harness the Met Council in and

Immersed in music ‘7Days’ a week Rosemount graduate returns to town with a cappella group



Rosemount High School gradu-ate Madison Holtze is coming back to Rosemount with a few of her friends on Saturday night. It’s not a rare visit for Holtze, who didn’t stray too far from home as a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, but her crew is a group of accomplished singers ready to entertain as 7Days A Cappella at 7:30 p.m. at the Rosemount Steeple Center. “I love the people in 7Days,” Holtze said. “It is cool to be a group of people who have a genuine love of singing.” 7Days performs in the same vein as popular a cappella groups such as Tonic Sol Fa and Straight No Chaser, but differ in that it is com-

prised of both men and women. That allows the group a dynamic range as it covers such artists as ’80s one-hit wonder A-ha, indie rock band Bastille, Spanish artist Nika and pop legend Stevie Won-der. Those familiar with the 2012 and 2015 “Pitch Perfect” movies will recognize the kinds of arrange-ments 7Days offers, combining vo-cal instrumentation such as beat box. Holtze is a vocal performance major, who one year after being se-lected for the group among about 100 who auditioned, is a music coordinator this year charged with making the audition selections. “I had no idea I would be cho-sen,” she said. “Absolutely not did I think I would get it. … I was really hoping I’d make it.”

The group, which includes only one other music major like Holtze, practices two times a week for two hours. She said those kinds of diverse musical backgrounds means that Holtze is teaching in an atmosphere that is somewhat intense. “If it was any more intense, I don’t think it would be a fun stu-dent group,” she said. Though the group has directors, each person contributes to an ar-rangement and brings ideas with-out having to think about “theory and technicality.” She said 7Days serves as a out-let for not having to be immersed in classical music all the time. Holtze is taking music theory, history and vocal classes.

Summer stadium work will disrupt Farmington graduation Many projects scheduled to be completed during summer

by Andy RogersSUN THISWEEK


When the Farmington School District goes on summer break, construc-tion workers will take over. Several maintenance projects are scheduled out-side and inside nearly every building in the district. The Farmington School Board approved during Monday’s meeting a time-line to repair the stadium at the high school, fix various building exteriors and in-stall two new boiler systems at different schools. Some projects can’t wait until the end of the school year.

Stadium repair will dis-rupt the late spring sports schedule and gradua-tion. The School Board approved a timeline that would begin construction May 23. The 13-week plan includes a two- to three-week cushion to allow for unforeseen circumstances. That would mean gra-dation would be held else-where. The new location would likely be Boeckman Middle School, where the district held graduation before the new Farmington High School was built. It would allow the grad-uation to be held outdoors if the weather allows. It wasn’t a unanimous

decision. Board Member Steve Corraro said he was concerned that current se-niors would miss out grad-uating at their own high school. The rest of the School Board voted yes to set the timeline at May 23 to give the biggest window before school begins in the fall. District administration wanted to get started as soon as possible because there could be unknowns. Finance Director Jane Houska said that if some-thing goes wrong, it could potentially affect the entire fall season, so they want to give the biggest window possible. The sooner construction crews are done, the better. The construction forces two boys lacrosse games and one girls lacrosse game to be rescheduled along with any possible home section tournament games.

There are no track and field meets scheduled after May 23 and any practices could be moved to either Boeckman Middle School or another location, Hous-ka said.

The estimated comple-tion date is Sept. 2, which also forces the district to reschedule or relocate two boys soccer games, one girls soccer game and a football scrimmage. The project also pre-vents any activity within the stadium that includes any flying object, such as a ball. If it’s done by Sept. 2, it would be ready for the first

varsity football game. A second option would have had a start date of June 13, following gradu-ation, and finish by Sept. 23. The district would have needed to reschedule nine football games, two of them varsity, along with seven boys soccer games and four girls soccer games. Farmington Athletic Director Bill Tschida said Boeckman Middle School is an alternate site for many activities if there’s an issue. Boeckman Middle School served as the high school before the current high school was built. The stadium is receiving repair on both its east and west plaza as well as retain-ing wall repair around the athletic field. Although the stadium was built about eight years ago, a combination of weather damage and less than ideal conditions have caused some major issues with the foundation, Hous-ka said during a School Board meeting in Novem-ber.

The Farmington School Board approved a timeline to repair Tiger Stadium that would start May 23, which means graduation will need to be held elsewhere. The district wanted to give construction companies a big enough window to complete the repairs. A later start date would have meant rescheduling or relocating several fall activities.

Charter school to close at the end of the academic yearPaideia Academy leaders cite funding, projected enrollment as reasons for the decision



Paideia Academy will close at the end of the 2015-16 academic year as its board of directors has cited a lack of financial resourc-es to keep the 11-year-old char-ter school operating in Apple Valley. “Based on Paideia’s pro-jected enrollment for 2016-2017 and the anticipated revenue and costs over the next three years, the Paideia Academy Board of Directors has made the very dif-ficult decision to close the school at the end of this school year,” the school reported in a Feb. 19 press release. Paideia Board of Directors Chairman Jonathan Bradley said the board considered clos-ing the school as one of its op-tions after the school’s autho-rizer, Friends of Education, sent on Jan. 19 a “letter of concern” describing how the school had to increase student achievement, stabilize enrollment, and create a balanced budget for the next three years. After two years of being des-ignated a High-Quality Char-ter School by the Minnesota Department of Education, the school’s Minnesota Comprehen-

sive Assessment scores dipped in the past year to among the lowest 25 percent of Minnesota schools receiving Title 1 funding as it was designated as a Contin-uous Improvement School. This year the school added three staff positions to imple-ment new programs and inter-vention plans in an effort to im-prove its test performance. Enrollment dropped below 300 in 2015-16, according to Bradley, after it was 380 and 355 in the previous two years. Brad-ley said the board was reviewing a conservative 160-170 for en-rollment in 2016-17. “As the board worked through our proposal for FOE, we came to the realization that we did not have high enough en-rollment projections to create a financially sustainable program in our current facility,” Bradley wrote in an email to the newspa-per. “We explored all the poten-tial opportunities, but given the time frame, we did not have any financially feasible options.” Paideia officials said the staff and board are committed to ensuring that each student con-tinues to receive a high-quality education through the end of the school year, and staff will be coordinating with families and

their new schools of choice to support students’ transitions. School Director Marci Levy-Maguire wrote in Paideia’s news-letter that the school is working on communications, planning events and gathering informa-tion to help ease the students’ transition. She wrote that last Thursday the school’s advisers met with students to discuss the closing. Levy-Maguire said she could not have been more proud of the students on the day they were in-formed the Apple Valley school would close. “For many of them, their big-gest concern was about the staff and where we would be working next year,” she wrote in a mes-sage to parents. “A number of them asked if we could join them at their new schools.” Paideia currently has a staff of 47 people, according to its website. Levy-Maguire described the week when the announcement was made as a hard one. “During the past few days, we have all experienced a wide vari-ety of emotions even as we have continued to support your chil-dren to share and understand their own feelings,” Levy-Magu-ire wrote. “I know that there is

a strong sense of sadness around our school closing, and I hope that we can continue to work to-gether to support all of our staff, students, and families through this transition.” In making the announcement, school officials said another im-pact that led to the decision was the recent approval of additional bond and operating levy funds for area school districts to help bolster their programs in similar areas in which Paideia strove to be unique in – arts and music programs, language offerings and gifted education programs. “Paideia’s successes have cer-tainly impacted the academic programming of local districts, which expanded their arts and music programs, language offer-ings and gifted education pro-grams,” the release said. Since 2005, Paideia has of-fered a modified year-round calendar, K-8 Spanish program, Latin instruction in fifth through eighth grades, a classical studies program, and strong music and art programs in addition to a school uniform policy. The ways in which Paideia strove to be different have be-come “the new standard” for area districts, the release said. The school receives less state

funding per pupil than sur-rounding districts, the press re-lease said. Charter schools do not have the ability to seek voter approval for a school-proposed operat-ing levy or bond. Nearly all of the state’s public school districts receive voter-approved funds to supplement the state’s per-pu-pil funding allotment, which is $5,982 for 2016. Paideia officials said they were proud to have graduated seven classes of eighth-graders during the past decade, and will be celebrating their eighth and final graduating class with a cer-emony on June 9. They said they were thankful for the support the school has received from local elected offi-cials, community members, and business owners throughout the school’s years of existence. “The decision to close was ex-tremely difficult,” Bradley said. “Many people in our communi-ty were diligently working to try and make the necessary changes needed to make Paideia strong again. I was very disappointed to see this great school close.”

District 192: Contract offer on par with other settlements by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Contract negotiations between District 192 and the Farmington Education Association teachers union remain open following a mediation session earlier this month. The Farmington School District said in a Feb.

17 news release that the district’s final financial proposal included salary increases for teachers com-parable to other metro area settlements; additional sal-ary increases for all teach-ers through annual step movement or longevity payments; and additional compensation for teachers who continue their educa-

tion. Other items discussed during mediation Feb. 12 included an incentive for teachers who have an ex-ceptional attendance re-cord and the establishment of a cooperative labor management committee to research and recommend changes prior to the next contract cycle.

The release also stated that the School Board re-mains committed to fulfill-ing the promise to reduce class size beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. Farmington Education Association and supporters filled City Hall during an-other Farmington School Board meeting Monday. Two members of the com-

munity Kirsten Wallevand and Todd Karich spoke in support of the FEA. Wallevand said she didn’t feel valued as a teacher, and said School Board members’ words don’t match their actions. Karich asked the board to consider the morale of the teachers. Following the public

comment portion, sup-porters left as speakers indicated the teachers had work to do. The School Board held a closed meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday to discuss its labor negotiations strategy.

Farmington’s downtown redevelopment plan To the editor: Quality of life doesn’t seem to have figured into the city of Farmington’s new downtown redevel-opment plan. When asked why they would cram even more people downtown where there is no mass transit, parking, shops or even enough sidewalks, the answer was, “some people like to live down-town,” which was no an-swer at all. One of the large apart-ment complexes proposed is 50 feet from the rail-road tracks where daily petroleum “bomb trains” of over 100 cars roll through picking up speed until the last 30 cars are careening through down-town at over 60 miles per hour. Opposite, across the tracks, is the grain eleva-

tor that belches grain dust with its roaring dryer al-most half the year. Who would live in a place like that? Wouldn’t that site be better suited for light in-dustry? Another proposed three-story apartment complex would forever cut off the downtown’s Vermillion River line of sight access for its citizens. The building would domi-nate the area taking over the riverfront. Why would we give this away? Dakota County’s green way initiative and groups like the Friends of the Mississippi and Trout Unlimited should be our best partners in the down-town redevelopment plans for Farmington. Bike riders, trout fisher folks and bird watchers would spark economic revival if we enhance and appreci-ate our unique asset that is the Vermillion River. Recently the city mailed to every home a

map of all our parks and open spaces. The river wasn’t even pictured, no blue line indicating how it weaves through our com-munity. This lack of rec-ognition seems to be an indicator of how the city has forgotten this valuable resource. Please go back to the drawing board and fo-cus on the quality of life of your current citizens. Happy people attract hap-py people. Work on mass transit. Turning down-town into a ghetto is no solution.

Community forums can foster interfaith relationships

Keep transportation funding as top priority for state surplus

by Don HeinzmanSUN THISWEEK


A Muslim mother recently told a hushed Bloomington crowd she is afraid for her safety and that of her children because of how Muslims are being tar-geted, particularly by the media. Zanib Mohamed, of Bloomington, is a student advocate for all students at Bloomington Kennedy High School. She was one of four speakers at a Janu-ary forum titled “One Nation, Many Beliefs,” sponsored by the high school, where over half of the students are non-white. Because the school’s enrollment is so diverse, Principal Andy Beaton and school staff decided to have the session, which was attended by high-ranking school and city officials, some parents and teachers. Mohamed said since the media has been singling out Muslim students, some Muslim Bloomington Kennedy students have been coming to her fearful and with tears in their eyes. Beaton said some Muslim students have expressed their fears to him as well. So far, students have not disturbed Mus-lims; none have been disciplined for that,

Beaton said. Mohamed and the other speakers par-ticularly zeroed in on the media, which they say is one-sided, citing Muslim Americans for some of the shootings while not citing other shooters as Chris-tian Americans or any other religions in their broadcasts. As a result, Muslim children are re-porting they are being taunted more. Mohamed related how she told her son she could not take him to a birthday par-ty because it was around the time terror-ists attacked a restaurant in Paris. The speakers all agreed that most Americans do not understand Islam, which they say in some ways is compa-rable to Christianity. They particularly stressed that Islam as well as Christianity have peaceful goals, and only a small percentage are in ISIS, which they said is not following the

teachings of Islam. As for women covering themselves and particularly their foreheads, the speakers said, today there are Christian sects who cover their body completely. Islam, they said, does not oppose other religions, but in effect accepts the teachings of other religions, including what is written in the Bible. The problem, they contended, is people are suspicious because they do not understand Islam. Speaker Hanadi Chehabeddine suggested that commu-nities should sponsor events so people can understand Islam, and she urged people to talk openly and ask ques-tions. In Brooklyn Park, Mayor Jeff Lunde led the formation of an interfaith discus-sion Jan. 28, put together by Islam and Christian faith leaders. He said: “We want people, across cultures and faiths, interacting and having a conversation. It’s really hard to hate someone when you know them.” Out of that discussion attended by faith and community leaders, the group decided to start field trips when members of churches and mosques will visit one another. “We rely on the faith community be-

cause we believe there are shared values and shared goals and we should talk about what we share,” Lunde said. Nausheena Hussain, a board mem-ber of the Brooklyn Park Islamic Cen-ter, shares the mayor’s opinion. She is working with others to get people to tell their stories about interactions between people of Islamic faith and their com-munities, hoping that people have more commonalities than differences. “The main thing is that we want ev-eryone in Brooklyn Park to be united. It is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and dispel the myths,” she said. As for Beaton, he believes the forum succeeded in convincing the people that Bloomington Kennedy respects all stu-dents and that it is a safe place to work and learn. Hussain summed it up well: “What people of Islamic faith want for them-selves and their families isn’t different than anyone else. Everyone is trying to live the American dream.” Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers. He can be reached through [email protected]. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

It is commonly assumed that the off-year legislative session is simply a time for legislators to pass a bonding bill, fix some recently-passed legislation and go home. That’s far from the case in 2016. When this session opens on March 8, legislators will face a big challenge. They must figure how to utilize a $1.2 billion general fund surplus that is projected for the next biennium. According to Minnesota Manage-ment and Budget, the general fund fore-cast is now $1.871 billion. Under exist-ing law, $544 million must go into the budget reserve and $71 million must go to environmental funds, leaving a bal-ance of $1.256 billion. During this session the debate will be about that surplus: how to spend it, re-serve it or whether to refund dollars to taxpayers. The ECM Publishers Editorial Board continues to favor spending a major por-tion of the surplus to improve roads and fix bridges throughout the state. We rec-ognize passing a gas tax to fund a long-range plan won’t happen this election year, even though it is estimated $11 bil-lion will be needed the next 10 years to upgrade bridges, roads and highways. If a Republican-backed proposal to direct existing taxes on auto parts and rental car fees to road and bridge needs is ap-

proved, the negative impact on the state’s general fund must receive serious consid-eration. We favor utilizing some of the surplus to further build the reserve fund, and we believe some funds should go to reduc-ing taxes by increasing the eligibility for the Child and Dependent Care Credit, a reduction in the statewide business prop-erty tax and utilizing a new Market Tax Credit as proposed by Republicans. The latter is one of the nation’s most success-ful programs using the federal New Mar-kets Tax Credit program. New Markets Tax Credits revitalize low-income, dis-tressed communities by creating public-private partnerships that provide much-needed capital to strengthen businesses and community facilities. We also favor Gov. Mark Dayton’s plan to expand the state college grant program and address tuition issues at the two-year colleges and technical schools. We continue to favor spending for pre-school education, but funding questions remain for a universal, public school-based program. Districts continue to ad-just facilities and curriculum to accom-modate all-day, every-day kindergarten. If a universal pre-kindergarten program

is adopted, schools must have the class-rooms and facilities to handle the pro-gram. A study of the impact on private daycare facilities is warranted. Funding the Southwest Light Rail Transit line from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie is essential for easing traffic con-gestion, moving employees to jobs and stimulating investment along the line. With federal dollars again in the budget for 2016, the Legislature should continue to study a seven-county regional half-cent sales tax to fund the state’s $135 million share to keep this important line funded and on track. The proposed sales tax is the Metropolitan Council’s pre-ferred funding option. Last year, during the Editorial Board’s study of violence in society, we realized there is a need to have stronger penalties for hate crimes. We favor Sen. Ron Latz’s proposed legislation to stiffen hate-crime charges from a gross misdemeanor to a felony. We continue to call for stronger penal-ties for drivers whose distractions cause serious accidents and deaths. We believe the penalties for driving while texting should be the same as for drunken driv-ing. The penalty for a first offense of tex-ting while driving is $50 and $225 for a second offense. Compare this to a first drunken driv-

ing offense of up to 90 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, and a suspended driver’s license of 90 days. ` Furthermore, we favor a mandatory helmet law for motorcyclists, considering the number of fatalities involving motor-cycles. Local government aid (LGA) to Min-nesota cities also remains a viable topic, particularly for cities in greater Minne-sota that have seen this funding source gutted. A one-time injection of budget surplus would be welcome but the Legis-lature must decide if additional funding for LGA is a wise investment and how it can be supported with a permanent funding stream. The inability of the governor and lawmakers to agree on a special session this winter will create other topics for this session. The Real ID driver’s license requirement of the federal government, finding funds to study racial disparity and extending unemployment insurance compensation for laid-off miners on the Iron Range are all subjects that must be addressed.

academic performance, raise their test scores, re-duce their chance of suf-fering from anxiety, de-pression, substance abuse or obesity, all while keep-ing our kids and the com-munity safer by reducing the risk of car accidents. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Minne-sota Medical Association, the CDC and other public health groups urge us to do it. This is what shifting to later school start times for teens is all about, and that is why many Minne-sota districts are doing it. Contrary to popular belief, teens need more sleep than younger chil-dren. It is teen biology that makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11 p.m. In our district, most teens get up around 5:30 a.m. to get to school, which leaves them in a constant state of sleep de-privation. One study of Twin Cit-ies metro schools showed that starting school just half an hour later reduced student car crashes by 65 percent. Teachers report-edly enjoy having stu-dents who are alert and ready for learning, and in Edina, when parents were surveyed one year after the switch 92 percent of them preferred the later time. Depending on imple-mentation, the change can result in earlier times for elementary students, and there may be initial additional transportation costs. However, the dis-trict’s own analysis shows they could move start times by half an hour with no added cost.

Unlike many educa-tional policy decisions, this one has long term effects on the safety and well-being of our chil-dren. Yet the board and administration have not led or educated on the matter. However, in Janu-ary the administration sent some information to principals and asked for limited input from site councils. Neither the in-formation nor the process was shared with parents. The superintendent will now write an executive summary for the board, who will decide whether to further explore it. There is a lot of infor-mation available online, and it is worth looking at closely. And now is the time write or call your board, superintendent, principal and site council. LISA MORLEYRosemount

Support Jason Lewis To the editor: Super Tuesday, March 1, will soon be upon us. I plan to do my part in our political process by at-tending my local precinct caucus to support our Re-publican candidates, par-ticularly Jason Lewis for Congress. I urge everyone in the 2nd Congressional Dis-trict to support Jason Lewis. He has a great knowledge of local and national issues and will be a solid voice for CD2 and all of Minnesota in Con-gress.

Election will be interesting To the editor: The political letters re-garding 2nd District can-didates Angie Craig have been most interesting in their content. One day, in early Janu-ary, upon answering the phone, I heard a gentle-man ask me if I knew who Ms. Craig was. At that time, I had no clue. He in-formed me who she was. I have since read the papers a bit more closely. One is never too old to learn. The political pro-cess is indeed going to be very interesting this year. They already have a good start. With the slate of possible presidential con-tenders coupled with the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the process is going to be wide open.

District 196 eyes Lakeville site for new school

by Jessica HarperSUN THISWEEK


The Rosemount-Ap-ple Valley-Eagan School District is looking at po-tentially building a new school in Lakeville. The School Board di-rected staff on Feb. 23 to begin negations with Lakeville developer Tra-ditions Company to pur-chase a 22.4-acre parcel at Diamond Path and 160th Street. “When we start to look at location and impact on the need for boundary modifications, this partic-ular site is one the better sites,” said Jeff Solomon, finance director for Dis-trict 196. The property — located

in the Traditions housing development — is one of three sites that the district considered. Officials also consider another Lakeville property as well as land in Rosemount and Apple Valley. District officials agreed that the Traditions site would best alleviate over-crowding issues and ac-commodate future growth in the southeastern por-tion of the district without drastically altering exist-ing attendance boundar-ies, Solomon said. The site was previously a mining site. Environ-mental contaminants from past mining activity have already been cleaned up by the developer, district officials said.

Solomon said he ex-pects a purchase agree-ment will be made in time for a proposal to go before in the School Board on March 14. At that time, a purchase price will be made public. The project’s estimat-ed cost is $29.8 million, which will be paid by the bond referendum that vot-ers passed last year. Site work is expected to begin this summer with construction of the build-ing to be complete in Au-gust 2017, in time for the start of the 2017-18 school year.

Dakota Communications Center leader to retire

by Laura AdelmannSUN THISWEEK


After nine years as executive director of the Dakota Communications Center, Diane Lind will retire on May 31. Lind was appointed to the role in January 2007 after 21 years of work-ing in 911 dispatch services and was re-sponsible for overall management of the countywide emergency dispatch center. Lind was selected from multiple appli-cants to replace the DCC’s first executive director, Kent Therkelsen, former police chief in Eagan. She had been the DCC’s first opera-tions director when the joint emergency dispatch center was being planned and then opened. She is a former communi-cations supervisor with the Burnsville Police Department. She announced her retirement to the board of directors, composed of elected Dakota County officials, at their Feb. 18 board meeting, according to Justin Mill-er, executive committee board chair and Lakeville city administrator. Miller described Lind’s leadership as key to the smooth operations at the DCC. “There’s just a great group of dis-patchers and staff that, under her leader-ship, has really operated seamlessly,” he said. “That is a testament to her leader-ship.” In a news release, Lind expressed how hard it was to make the decision to retire.

“While I am excited to take this step into retirement, this was an extremely difficult decision to make,” Lind said. “Public service to the citizens of Dakota County is all I have known for over 30 years.” Miller said the executive committee, composed of city managers and admin-istrators throughout the county, has been directed by the board to find a search firm and recruit for the open position. The news release said the search pro-cess is to begin immediately with the in-tent of having a new director on board as soon as possible. “Over the next month, the executive board will be talking about the qualities, the traits and experience level we’re look-ing for the next director,” Miller said. Miller described Lind’s contributions as significant and the work as integral to public safety. “She clearly has the knowledge and the expertise of that field, and so we’re going to miss her,” Miller said. Dakota Communications Center provides 911 dispatch services to all of Dakota County under a joint powers agreement between Dakota County and the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Ea-gan, Farmington, Hastings, Inver Grove Heights, Lakeville, Mendota Heights, Rosemount, South St. Paul and West St. Paul.

When the stadium plaza was built, as a cost-saving measure, the district ap-proved a middle-of-the-road option for subsoil — not the most expensive, but not the cheapest. “It was the average op-tion for most people,” Houska said. Moisture was trapped inside the subsoil, and the constant thawing and freezing caused the plaza to shift. Excess water flowed onto the field, which shift-ed the retaining wall. “I don’t know if we could have predicted what would have happened,” said Paul Aplikowski, an architect at Wold Archi-tects and Engineers who worked with the district on the timeline. “It was very strange circumstances.” He said there’s some unusual geology under the plaza. The new plan will fix it. “We’re making every attempt to make it last for ever,” Aplikowski said. Now that the School Board approved the time-line, the project will now go out for bid.

The estimated cost won’t be known until about March 14.

Tuck pointing This summer all the el-ementary schools and the two middle schools will receive exterior work to re-pair deteriorated brick ma-sonry. The plan includes fix-ing mortar joints and brick replacements as well as the replacement of joint seal-ants and wall flashing re-pairs. The package costs ap-proximately $1.68 million. The Instructional Ser-vices Center, the building that holds Gateway Acad-emy, Twist N Tumble, and other offices, also could use some extensive work, but Board Member Laura Beem wondered if there wasn’t more problems with the building and ques-tioned investing significant financing into the aging building.

New boilers The boilers at both Farmington Elementary and Boeckman Middle School have both outlived their expected service lives.

The one at Farming-ton Elementary was in-stalled in 1965. It will be replaced with three new high-efficiency condensing hot-water boilers for about $460,000 and sized to han-dle any future additions to the school. Replacements are sched-uled for the temperature control system, emergency and exit lighting, and fire alarm system. The current fire alarm system and lighting don’t meet code standards and the devices have outlived their service lives. The boiler at Boeck-man Middle School was installed in 1974 and will be replaced with five new high-efficiency boilers for about $780,000. Plans also include the replacement of gas water heaters with new high-effi-ciency gas water heaters. Plans to build new kin-dergarten spaces at River-view, North Trail and Meadowview elementary schools are also underway as well as secured entrances Riverview and North Trail.

make it more representa-tive of the people which it affects or regulates.” Priore said he is not a “career politician,” is pro-life and referred to himself as “pretty conservative,” but is not opposed to gay marriage. “I think it’s OK for ev-eryone to get married, no matter what person you are,” Priore said, adding that as an attorney he of-ten advises clients to think about not getting married. “It’s hard to advise peo-ple to opt into government regulation, which is essen-tially what you’re doing if you’re going to get mar-ried,” Priore said. Priore is the fourth can-didate to seek the Repub-lican endorsement for the seat, held by Thompson since 2010. Other candidates are Melissa Sauser and Tim

Pitcher, both from Farm-ington, and Lakeville resi-dent and small-business owner Mike Freundschuh. Sauser is a member of the District 192 School Board and Pitcher is in his first term on the Farming-ton City Council. Lakeville Mayor Matt Little is the only Democrat to announce candidacy for the seat. Thompson announced in January he would not seek re-election because he is moving to North Caro-lina for a job promotion. He is maintaining a resi-dence in the district and plans to complete his term which ends January 2017. Priore ran an unsuc-cessful campaign for Dis-trict 194 School Board in 2014, earning 13 percent of the 40,044 votes cast. All incumbents retained their seats in that race. He said he is active in the community, including

serving as the District 58 treasurer for the past four years, chairing the Lakev-ille Chamber Public Policy Committee and Taste of Lakeville Committee for Lakeville Rotary. He said his experience and understanding of the law sets him apart from other candidates. “I’m an attorney and I’m dedicated to the ser-vice of others,” Priore said. “I think that my knowledge of the law, my understanding of the legal process and its affect on people really does distin-guish me from the other candidates in this race.” Priore and wife Kathy have two children, Isabel-la, 8, and Jack, 5, and have lived in Lakeville for nine years.

7DAYS, from 1AParents honor daughter’s memory with ‘Make a Splash’Fundraiser at Water Park of America set March 6

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


An Apple Valley couple is honoring the daughter they lost to cancer through the Mary Moon Foundation. Peter and Christine O’Keefe started the nonprofit founda-tion in honor of their 3-year-old daughter, Mary, who died from cancer in 2009. The Mary Moon Founda-tion is hosting its fifth annual “Make a Splash” event Sun-day, March 6, at the Water Park of America in Bloom-ington, with proceeds going to Child-Family Life Services at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. Mary was hospitalized for much of her final year — 63 consecutive days, at one point. The toys, games, painting sup-plies and puppet shows provid-ed by Child-Family Life were a regular source of pleasure for the girl while she battled neu-roblastoma, a cancer that oc-

curs mostly in infants and tod-dlers. “From our perspective, the services of Child-Family Life were just as important as the medical procedures,” Christine O’Keefe said. “They were there the day Mary was diagnosed — blowing bubbles to ease the tension — all the way to the end, when they made a mold of her hand as a memorial.” The nonprofit grew out of the O’Keefe’s efforts in the wake of Mary’s passing to bring art supplies to patients at the children’s hospital where Mary had been treated, in hopes of brightening the days of other kids there. Founded in 2011, the Mary Moon Foundation holds fund-raising events to help finance toys, games and art supplies for Masonic Children’s Hospi-tal. Craft supplies such as cray-ons, paper and markers are all given to the hospitalized kids to keep, because the risk of spreading germs is high.

Largely due to its annual “Make a Splash” event at the Water Park of America, the Mary Moon Foundation — so named because Mary’s nick-name was Moon — has gifted $85,000 to the hospital since the nonprofit’s inception. This year’s “Make a Splash” event, which starts at 4 p.m. on

March 6, features discounted admission to the Water Park of America, games, entertain-ment, food and a silent auc-tion. Tickets can be purchased at www.marymoonfoundation.org.

Event encourages youths to Don’t Stop Believing Suicide prevention

program

organized March

4 at Apple Valley

High School by Tad Johnson


A suicide prevention program called Don’t Stop Believing will start at 6 p.m. Friday, March 4, at Apple Valley High School. The event, which will include a performance by comedian and author Kev-in Breel, was organized in response to recent suicides in Dakota County and be-yond as Apple Valley resi-dent John Glynn has led the effort. Glynn has coordinated with the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Dis-trict, Apple Valley High School and St. Paul-based Suicide Prevention Col-laborative to organize the event that aims to remove the stigma that prevents people from talking about mental health issues. Designed for high school-age students, the event will include a resource fair, panel discussion led by local high school stu-dents and a presentation by Woodbury-based theater group S.O.S. for Youth. Glynn said the highlight of the event will be Breel, who is in demand world-wide and is touted as offer-ing comedy along with an honest and hopeful conver-sation about mental health. He has battled depres-sion, which he has chron-icled in his book “Boy

Meets Depression: Or Life Sucks and Then You Live.” As a mental health ac-tivist, Breel is the national spokesperson for the Bell LET’S TALK campaign and has been a guest speak-er at more than 100 college campuses. His work has been fea-tured by Huffington Post, MTV, CNN, “The Today Show,” Mashable and the Wall Street Journal. As a 19-year-old, Breel’s TEDx talk “Confessions of a Depressed Comic” went instantly viral online – with more than half a million views in less than 30 days. It has amassed more than 3 million viewers and has been featured on more than 200 media outlets. Glynn said he hopes the event empowers young peo-ple to talk about the prob-lems they are facing and seek help when they need it. “We are trying to make a shift for students to help inspire forever tomorrows,” he said. People will go to the doctor if they have a bro-ken arm, he said, and he wants young people to think the same way if they are broken by depression. Glynn said young peo-ple will often talk to their friends about their prob-lems facing depression and thoughts of suicide, but of-ten don’t turn to adults for help. He said he hopes the program results in students realizing that if they notice their friends need help that they take charge and get adults involved. “We want them to say: ‘I know where you can go.

You have to go. I care about you,’ ” Glynn said. He said a similar pro-gram was organized in Woodbury and had great success in getting students talking more about their mental health problems and seeking help. Glynn said prevention programs like this are tricky to judge since the lack of bad things happening is the main outcome. He said he has appreci-ated the help offered by Apple Valley High School Principal Steve Degenaar, who has really championed

the cause of suicide preven-tion. Glynn said he has sent information and posters regarding the event to high schools throughout District 196 and even into St. Paul and Prior Lake. “We hope to pack the house,” he said. More information is at www.suicidepreventioncol-laborative.org.

Eagan businessman faces felony tax evasion charges by Jessica Harper


A 64-year-old Eagan businessman faces 24 felony tax evasion charges for a cleaning company he’s owned and operated since the 1990s. Stephen Edward Matters, owner of Matters Maintenance Group Inc., My Maid, and TLC cleaning services, was charged in Dakota County on Feb. 11 with the following felonies: • four counts of failure to file in-come tax returns, • four counts of failure to pay in-come taxes, • four counts of failure to file sales tax returns, • five counts of failure to pay sales taxes, • one count of making retail sales

after revocation of a permit, • three counts of failure to file withholding tax returns, • three counts of failure to pay withholding taxes. According to the criminal com-plaint, Matters was previously charged and convicted of seven counts of tax evasion charges for fail-ing to pay taxes from 2002 to 2006. The Minnesota Department of Revenue began a new investigation in 2014 after receiving reports that Mat-ters had continued to fail to pay taxes. Prosecutors say Matters failed to file any Minnesota tax returns from 2011 to 2014 and failed to pay income taxes he owned from his businesses during the same period of time. Matters is also accused of failing to file tax withholding returns for

2012, 2013 and the first six months of 2014. On Nov. 21, 2011, Matters’ sales tax permit for his businesses was revoked due to failure to pay sales taxes. Authorities say he continued to operate the business after the revoca-tion. In a telephone interview with investigators last September, Mat-ters claimed he had not been in the cleaning business since 2012 when he stopped filing tax returns. When asked about his bank records that showed business receipts and wages paid for 2013 and 2014, Matters didn’t have an explanation, according to the complaint. If convicted, Matters could face up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.


Clearing the shores of the Vermillion River Volunteers needed for Trout Unlimited project March 5

by Andy RogersSUN THISWEEK


Twin Cities chapter of Trout Unlimited is look-ing for volunteers to help with shore restoration work from 9 a.m. to noon March 5 along the Vermil-lion River south branch east of Farmington. Volunteers will be asked to help clear buckthorn, honeysuckle and other in-vasive plant species chok-ing the banks of the trout stream next to 4758 200th St. E. in Farmington. The brush is degrading habitat for the fish and the wildlife, according to Dan Callahan of Minnesota Trout Unlimited. “We’ll cut and drag brush into big piles for the Department of Natural Resources to burn next winter, so dress to get muddy,” Callahan said. Volunteers should bring hiking or knee boots; work gloves; tree loppers or hand saws; and a few people could bring wad-ers. They also need a few expert chain saw operators with proper training and gear. The hope is restoring the shore will provide bet-ter fishing access. Once it’s completed, Trout Unlimited plans to restoring the native prai-rie and stabilize eroding banks, which will improve

water quality and wild-life habitat by preventing dirt from washing into the stream and filtering pol-luted runoff. Everyone from the com-munity is welcome, includ-ing families, school groups, community groups, Trout Unlimited members and nonmembers. Trout Unlimited will provide lunch, so par-ticipants should RSVP to [email protected] for an accurate head count. For those interested in helping with lunch, reply to Tony Nelson at [email protected] or call 952-486-2282. There are seven chap-

ters of the nonprofit con-servation group Trout Un-limited in Minnesota, all run by volunteers. “We’ve restored habitat on more than 40 miles of trout streams across the state, including 3 miles of the Vermillion River in Dakota County, which runs through Lakeville and Farmington to Hast-ings and the Mississippi River,” Callahan said. For information about the Vermillion River-keepers volunteer day on March 5, visit www.twin-citiestu.org. Email Andy Rogers at [email protected].

Behold the binturong A binturong cub was born Feb. 12 at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, the first of its species born at the zoo in 35 years. Zoo officials say the cub, whose gender is not yet known, is doing well in a behind-the-scenes area, gaining weight and spending time inside a nest box with its mother. Binturongs are listed as a “vulnerable” species under the International Union for Conservation of Nature; the recent birth is the ninth born at the Minnesota Zoo in its history. Though the cub is not yet visible to the public, binturongs can be seen in the zoo’s Tropics Trail area; sometimes called “bearcats,” they are members of the mongoose family, and are tree-dwellers native to tropical forests in Asia.

SportsFarmington, North match up in another section final

Boys hockey rivals play

Thursday for spot in state tourney by Mike Shaughnessy


If Lakeville North needed a reminder not to let down its guard in the postseason, the Panthers got it last week when three No. 1 seeds departed the Class AA boys hockey playoffs. “A No. 1 seed means nothing. It’s a number next to your team’s name,” said North coach Trent Eigner, whose team is the top seed in Section 1AA. Last week No. 1 seeds Minnetonka (Section 2AA), Blaine (5AA) and Benilde-St. Margaret’s (6AA) saw their seasons

end after playoff upsets. For the defending state champion Panthers to avoid the same fate, they’ll have to beat Farmington in the Section 1AA cham-pionship game at 7 p.m. Thursday at Rochester Rec Center. Lest anyone forget, No. 2-seeded Farmington de-feated North twice during the regular season. The Ti-gers certainly haven’t for-gotten; they were the last team to beat the Panthers (1-0 on Jan. 21). Since then Lakeville North has won 10 in a row. In nine of those games the Panthers held opponents to two goals or fewer. “They’re more wide-open than we are,” said Farmington coach Greg May. “They have some very high-end, skilled of-fensive players. We’re more

of a hard-hat team, one that has to win by play-ing good defense. It’s two contrasting styles, which I think will make for a great game.” In North’s first two Sec-tion 1AA games, victories over Dodge County (12-0) and Rochester John Mar-shall (6-1), “we did a good job defensively,” Eigner said. “We had some lapses in the Prior Lake game (a 7-6 victory Feb. 13 to close the regular season) in the third period after we got a big lead. But we’ve gotten back to what we’ve been doing well.” Lakeville North (21-5-1) held Rochester John Marshall to eight shots on goal during its victory in the Section 1AA semi-finals Saturday. North grabbed control early with two goals by Henry En-

ebak and one each by Tay-lor Schneider and Spencer Schneider in the first 8 minutes, 16 seconds. Max Johnson and Ryan Poeh-ling scored in the second period. Farmington (17-8-1), which lost twice to Lakev-ille South during the regu-lar season, turned things around on the Cougars with a 5-3 victory in the other Section 1AA semi-final. The Tigers scored three goals in the second period, turning a 1-1 tie into a 4-1 lead. John Siebe-naler had a hat trick, and Devin Bernu and Alex Trippel scored power-play goals. “One of the differences was we were healthy,” May said. “In the two games we played against Lakeville South during the regular season we were missing

some big-time players. We also tried to get a little more pressure on their de-fensemen. They have four skilled, puck-moving de-fensemen, and we wanted to try to limit their time and space.” This will be the third consecutive year Farming-ton has played Lakeville North in the section final. In addition to their Jan. 21 victory over Lakeville North, the Tigers beat the Panthers 5-3 on Dec. 10. According to Farmington coach Greg May, those two games have a double edge – Farmington now knows it can beat North, but North figures to have all that much more moti-vation for a playoff game against the Tigers. Farmington goalie Gavin Enright stopped all 35 North shots in the

Jan. 21 game. May praised the Tigers’ ability to limit North’s shots from the slot. On the other hand, Eigner said “we had 30-40 shots in each of those games (against Farming-ton), so we know we creat-ed opportunities. What we need to do is convert those second-chance opportuni-ties.” The Farmington-Lakeville North winner will advance to the state Class AA quarterfinals March 3 at Xcel Energy Center. Pairings for the first round of the state tournament will be deter-mined this weekend.

Notes: former Tigers football coach Wetzel dies by Mike Shaughnessy


Earl Wetzel, Farmington High School football coach from 1980 through 1999, died Monday. He was 69. Wetzel, who also was an English teacher at the high school, guided the football team to three consecutive state playoff appearances from 1990 through 1992. The Tigers reached the Prep Bowl in 1992, losing to Detroit Lakes 21-0 in the final in Class A, which at the time was the state’s second-largest enrollment class. According to the Minnesota Football Coaches Association website, mnfoot-ballcoaches.com, Wetzel had a 146-86 record and .629 winning percentage in 22 seasons as a head coach at Winsted Holy Trinity and Farmington. Funeral arrangements had not been

announced as of the Dakota County Tri-bune print edition presstime.

Burnsville downs Irish,

reaches section fi nalBurnsville is in a section boys hockey championship game this week. That isn’t new, but the Blaze’s opponent is. After years of butting heads with Edina in the Section 2AA tournament – Burnsville and Edina met for the cham-pionship of that section four of the last five years, with Edina winning each time – the Blaze faces St. Thomas Academy for the championship of Section 3AA at 7 p.m. Thursday at Ridder Arena. The Blaze, a sub-.500 team at the be-ginning of February, got hot at an op-portune time. Its 4-1 victory over Rose-mount in the Section 3AA semifinals Saturday was its seventh in a row. Burns-ville now is 15-10-1 overall.

St. Thomas Academy is 16-6-5 overall after beating Bloomington Jefferson 6-3 in Saturday’s other Section 3AA semifi-nal in Inver Grove Heights. The Cadets, in their second season as a Class AA team, are defending Section 3 champi-ons. Burnsville took control in the sec-ond period against Rosemount, scor-ing twice and getting 20 shots on goal. Roman Ahcan opened the scoring at 9 minutes, 2 seconds of the second period. Rosemount forward Grant Horsager tied the game about one minute later, but the Blaze took the lead for good on a goal by Cade Borchardt about one minute after Horsager’s goal. Borchardt added two goals in the fi-nal 4:09 of the third period, one after the Irish pulled their goalie, as the Blaze clinched its spot in the section final. Bor-chardt was involved in all of Burnsville’s

scoring, including an assist on Ahcan’s goal. Goalie Nick Lee made 25 saves for the Blaze. Borchardt leads Burnsville in scoring with 52 points (25 goals, 27 assists) and has eight points in two section playoff games. He also had a hat trick with one assist in Burnsville’s 9-0 victory over East Ridge in the Section 3AA quarterfinals Feb. 18. Rosemount goalie Nick Hart made 35 saves in Saturday’s game, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Irish’s season from ending. Rosemount finished 14-13 for its first winning season since 2007-08. Rosemount defeated Apple Valley 7-1 in the Section 3AA quarterfinals as Aus-tin Dollimer had a hat trick and one as-sist. Email Mike Shaughnessy at [email protected].

State individual wrestling tourament starts Friday

Hall, Hedin, Steveson are defending Class 3A champions

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


Almost three dozen wrestlers from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area – including five who have won state champion-ships – will compete in the state individual tourna-ment Friday and Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. Among the former champions is Apple Val-ley senior Mark Hall, who is seeking to become the only high school wrestler in state history to win six individual titles. He is one of six who have won five individual championships; that group includes former Apple Valley wrestler Des-tin McCauley. Hall is heavily favored to successfully defend his Class 3A, 170-pound title this weekend, and with good reason: He has a career record of 271-4 and has won his last 164 matches. Hall, a Penn State recruit, has not lost a high school match since

his freshman year. Rosemount senior Adam Hedin (132) and Apple Valley sophomore Gable Steveson (220) also are defending state cham-pions in Class 3A. Also re-turning to the Xcel Energy Center are Farmington senior Taylor Venz, who won a state title in 2013, and Lakeville North ju-nior Wade Sullivan, a state champion in 2014. After the state team championships are de-cided Thursday (Apple Valley is seeking an 11th consecutive state title, and Farmington is among the final eight teams), the in-dividual tournament takes over Friday and Saturday. First-round matches in Class 3A begin at 11 a.m. Friday. Championship matches in all three classes start at 7 p.m. Saturday. Here are Farmington and Rosemount qualifiers for the state tournament:

Farmington Trayton Anderson, freshman, 31-7. Section 1

champion at 106. Victor Gliva, senior, 38-1. Section 1 champion at 113. Three-time state qualifier; second at 106 last year. Jamin LeDuc, senior, 32-8. Section 1 champion at 132. Four-time state qualifier; placed second the last two years. Eric Heusbourg, junior, 23-17. Section 1 runner-up at 160. Taylor Venz, senior, 39-2. Section 1 champion at 182. Five-time state quali-fier; champion at 106 in 2013; placed third the last two years. Trevor Frost, senior, 30-8. Section 1 champion at 285.

His daughter takes 3rd on

floor at state; his team takes 8th

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


Fans paying close attention at Saturday night’s state Class AA fi-nals might have wondered why a Lakeville North assistant coach would be spotting for an Apple Val-ley gymnast. Or why that same coach would watch intently while an Eagan gymnast competed on floor exercise. It was all in a night’s work for Mick Ramboldt, whose influence is felt across several South Sub-urban Conference pro-grams. For the last several years he has run Lakev-ille North’s gymnastics off-season program, which isn’t restricted to just North gymnasts. Apple Valley senior Sid-ney Bethke trained in that program the last six years with Ramboldt, and when Bethke qualified for the state meet in the all-around, it stood to reason that Ramboldt would be there to lend support – and spotting. That Eagan gymnast he was watching? It’s Ramboldt’s daughter Teagan, an eighth-grader who finished third on floor exercise in her first state meet. Until a few years ago Ramboldt was an assis-tant coach for his wife Jodi on the Eastview High School team. This season they coached for opposing teams because Jodi Ramboldt is an assis-tant at Eagan. “When we left East-view, Jodi actually re-tired (from coaching) and I started coaching at Lakeville North,” Mick Ramboldt said. “That was when Milan (Mad-er, Lakeville’s legendary gymnastics and volleyball coach) was still there. I coached there two years,

then got a teaching job in Chaska and coached three years at Chaska/Chanhassen.” He left teaching but continued to run the North off-season pro-gram. This season, cur-rent Panthers head coach Teri Homan asked Ram-boldt to be an in-season assistant coach for the Panthers. “I didn’t want to coach because then I would miss some of Teagan’s meets,” he said. “So we made a deal that (on meet nights) I would coach vault, and if Teagan had a meet the same night I would leave when vault was done and drive to her meet. I’d miss her vault but watch her last three events.”

Individuals Rosemount sopho-more Josie Schlie went into the state meet as a

medal contender in the all-around, but struggles on uneven bars ended those hopes. She fell a couple of times and scored 7.25. Her scores in the other three events were 9.275 or better, and her 9.675 on floor exer-cise tied for second best among the all-around competitors. Schlie’s all-around score of 35.65 was good for 28th place. Rosemount senior Meghan Creese finished 12th on vault with 9.425. Farmington junior Amanda Davenport was 12th in the all-around, scoring 36.80. She placed 12th on bars with 9.4. Ti-gers sophomore Lauren Slayton was 21st on bars with 9.225.

agree to vote based upon the results of the choices of caucus attendees. Martin said the DFL Party’s presidential prefer-ence ballot has been bind-ing for years. The rule is new for the Republican Party, Downey said. “In past years, we held the straw poll vote, but it was not proscriptive in terms of how many dele-gates the candidates would get,” Downey said. “The delegates were actually chosen later in the spring with the district and state conventions.” The rules changed after the 2012 presidential year, in which states sought to “leapfrog” each other to become the earliest to vote for president, threatening to establish a “national primary” in which a can-didate was essentially cho-sen in January of an elec-tion year, Downey said. The party decided to require states that chose to hold an event in March to allocate their delegates proportionally, according to the vote of attendees. “The result of those rule changes would keep it open to more than one candidate and not simply favor the candidate with the most money and high-est name identification,” Downey said. On the Democratic Party side, most delegates will also be assigned ac-cording to the proportion of votes their candidates receive. However, super-delegates will be free to vote for whomever they like at the party’s national convention. In Minnesota, the superdelegates include Gov. Mark Dayton, DFL members of Congress and the U.S. Senate, the state party chair, vice chair, other Democratic Nation-al Convention members and “Distinguished Party Leader” Walter Mondale. Each party will select delegates based on the per-centage of votes for each candidate by congres-sional district. They will also select some delegates based on the percentage of votes for each candidate statewide. Downey noted that in past years many Repub-lican caucus attendees mistakenly thought their votes in the presidential straw poll determined the

national delegates from Minnesota. “Now it’s actually true,” he said.

Turnout

expectations Both state party lead-ers anticipate the robust debates this year will help prompt a strong voter turnout. “There’s a lot of excite-ment for both Secretary (of State Hillary) Clinton and Sen. (Bernie) Sand-ers in our party,” Martin said. “We expect there to be near-record turnout on Tuesday, March 1. The race around the country right now is very tight, and we happen to fall on Super Tuesday this year for the caucus.” For Democrats, Minne-sota is the second largest state after Washington to hold a caucus and is there-fore a large prize, Martin said. As for Republicans, Downey said, “The energy and excitement that we have seen in the states that have had their primary and caucus events so far indicate that we will have a lot of turnout. It’s a very close race and one where Minnesota gets a chance

to be a part of the Super Tuesday states that could very well swing the nomi-nation one way or another. People are excited to have the caucuses be relevant in Minnesota, so we’re an-ticipating a big night.” In some years, Min-nesota has been an island regarding the timing of its caucuses, Downey said. He and Martin met about a year ago to work out an agreement to hold this year’s caucuses March 1. “Lo and behold, it end-ed up being great for a lot of the other states’ calen-dars, too, because there’s 12 of us going on March 1,” Downey said. Many of the other states will conduct prima-ries, a system similar to a general election, but Min-nesota leaders have sup-ported maintaining the caucus system. Both ma-jor parties support caucus-es because they allow ordi-nary people to have a say not only in the selection of candidates, but also in the election of officers and the party platform, according to Martin. “Primaries tend to sup-port those candidates who have the most money and run a lot of glitzy com-mercials and send out a lot

of mailers, but in a cau-cus system it’s much more grassroots,” Martin said. He added that the cau-cuses allow neighbors to gather together to debate issues of concern. “Minnesota’s caucus system provides an oppor-tunity that most states do not have to show up at a precinct caucus room and have a direct say in who will actually nominate those candidates from each of the political par-ties,” Downey said. “On Super Tuesday, we’re right in the heart of one of the most exciting nights in de-termining who those can-didates are.” Each of the party chairs said they have in-structed people organizing the caucuses to prepare for big crowds. “I’ve said it’s better to be safe than sorry,” Mar-tin said. “You never know how many people will show up.” Downey said he told precinct organizers to as-sume a turnout one-and-a-half to two times higher than the record. He noted he had heard stories from a past caucus in which people could not get into the parking lot. “We’re hoping to avoid

that,” Downey said. Caucus attendees will receive ballots with which to select their choice for the party’s presidential nominee. They may stay to participate in the rest of the party business but are not required to do so. The ballot process will end at 8 p.m. for each of the parties. “You can’t show up at 8:15 and expect to be able to vote,” Downey stressed. “Get there early.” Anyone who is eligible to vote by this year’s No-vember general election may participate. Each per-son is limited to attending the caucus in his or her precinct. They must sign a statement that includes an address within the precinct and state that they gener-ally agree with the prin-ciples of the party hosting the caucus. Although the parties run the caucuses, Min-nesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has an-nounced an official state precinct caucus finder to help Minnesotans deter-mine where they should go to participate. The tool includes caucus loca-tions provided by the DFL Party and the Republican Party of Minnesota. It is at caucusfinder.sos.state.mn.us. “Our vote is our voice, and I encourage all Minne-sotans to go out and cau-cus on March 1 and make their voices heard,” Simon said. “This is an important election year in Minnesota and going to a caucus is a great way for Minnesotans to show support for their preferred candidates, raise an important issue, and meet people in their com-munity.” The DFL Party in-cludes information about its caucus at dfl.org while the Republican Party of Minnesota provides infor-mation at mngop.com. Some minor parties are also planning caucuses. Information about the In-dependence Party of Min-nesota is at mnip.org. The Libertarian Party of Min-nesota lists caucus details on its website, lpmn.org. The Green Party of Min-nesota lists its caucuses at tinyurl.com/jcjgt6g.

Eastview stars at state One-Act Festival; Eagan makes record 20th appearance The cast and crew of East-view High School’s one-act play “Doubt: A Parable” earned a starred-performance rating at this year’s state One-Act Play Festival held Feb. 12 at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium in St. Paul. Eagan High School was also among the eight state qualifiers in Class AA, but not among the three to earn a starred rating. Eagan also per-formed “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley. For Eastview, it was the school’s 11th appearance at the state festival and 11th starred rat-ing. Eagan made its record 20th appearance at the state festival and has received 18 starred rat-ings in previous appearances, the most of any school in the state.

The starred rating is the high-est award given to a one-act play and is the equivalent of a state championship. One-act does not involve direct competition. Judges rate the plays according to specific criteria, including pace, blocking, costuming and projection of the play’s meaning. Each production is limited to 10 minutes of stage preparation and 35 minutes of actual performance. The judges consult after each production and then openly critique each in front of the cast, crew and audience. Starred-performance ratings are determined by private balloting of the judges. Eastview’s performance was directed by Scott Durocher and Rob Rachow and student director Cali Swanson; cast members in-cluded Caleb Rotman, Kacie Rid-dle, Rachel Williams and Maya Butler; Kaila Hellam played vio-lin, and crew members were Sar-ah Amundson, Jill Baker, Brian Coan, Corey Christian, Dayton Duffy, Andy Johns, David John-son, Claire Jordahl, Sam Lynch, Jasa Mahlen, Cade Schroeder-Phillips, Zahra Shaba, Bhoomi Parikh and Whitney Weichelt. Eagan’s performance was directed by Nancy Owzarek. Cast members included Jackson

Cobb, Jenna Herbrand, Hannah LoPresto and Nyanna Wright; crew members were Cassady Da-vis, Mary Dratz, Mark Dulac, Rachel Kaisler, Henry Najlis, Ca-mille Nierengarten, Jerry Ostrem and Ellie Simonett.

Farmington student nominated to service academy U.S. Sen. Al Franken has nom-inated Zachary Beckner of Farm-ington for admission to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Beckner will graduate from Farmington High School in 2016. He is a member of the National Honor Society and a section lead-er in marching band. He also par-ticipates in taekwondo. Each year, Franken nominates qualified young Minnesotans to the U.S. Service Academies. The individual service academies make the final admission deci-sions and begin notifying nomi-nees of their status in February.

Officials unite to curtail Met Council’s authority by John Gessner


A rising chorus of subur-ban angst over the Metropoli-tan Council came Monday to Burnsville, where critics lit into the regional transit and plan-ning body and elected officials urged reforms to disperse its authority. Some proposals to curtail the council’s power emerged last year in the state Legisla-ture. Expect more this year, of-ficials said. A coalition of four counties, including Dakota, is calling for a majority of Met Council members to be local elected of-ficials appointed by cities and counties. All members are now appointed by the governor. The Metro Cities group has also proposed reforms. “I personally feel like this is an opportunity,” said state Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakev-ille, who hosted a Feb. 22 “town meeting” on the Met Council at Burnhaven Library. “We have a governor (Mark Dayton) who is open to seeing some changes” and isn’t seek-ing re-election. “There are some benefits, certainly, to regional plan-ning,” said Chris Gerlach, of Apple Valley, one of three Da-kota County commissioners at the meeting. “The pendulum has just swung too far.”

Several area Republican leg-islators also attended. Reform proposals have emerged from the Republican-controlled House as well as the DFL-con-trolled Senate, said Rep. Tony Albright, R-Prior Lake. The Met Council’s long-term planning blueprint, Thrive MSP 2040, is stoking much of the animosity toward the 16-member council and its professional staff, which have an annual budget of nearly $1 billion. The council’s “assault on local control” has reached a “watershed” with the 30-year document, said prominent Met Council critic Katherine Ker-sten, senior fellow at Center of the American Experiment, a conservative think tank. The council uses its dual role as “planning czar” and “funding gatekeeper” to pick winners and losers among the seven-county region’s 186 mu-nicipalities, Kersten said. “Local officials must acqui-esce and fall into line because in too many cases they’re un-able to object on behalf of their constituents for fear of retaliation,” Kersten said. Along with Thrive MSP 2040 the council has issued “system statements” that cities must use in writing their com-prehensive-plan updates due in 2018, Kersten said. The Met Council is charged with signing

off on cities’ plans. The council wants to impose principles that exceed its law-ful authority, particularly in housing, said Kersten and Kim Crockett, vice president and se-nior policy fellow at the Center of the American Experiment. Thrive MSP 2040’s 140-page housing plan is full of “top-down controls,” Kersten said. Burnsville, for example, al-ready has plenty of affordable housing — “something like 79 percent affordable to people who are at or below 80 percent of adjusted median income,” she said. “Nevertheless, the Met Council has assigned an affordable housing need of 266 (more) units to Burnsville, and about half of those must be affordable to very low-income families, about $25,000 income for a family of four.” Burnsville City Council Member Mary Sherry said her nearly fully built city can’t accommodate that volume of housing in the Minnesota River Quadrant, where most future development is expected to occur. “If we are expected to put more dense housing in, that is going to make it, sorry to say, even more affordable,” Sherry said. “This is affecting our schools. It’s a vicious circle. It’s not under our control. We want back our control.” Kersten said Thrive MSP

2040 pursues a ruinous agenda to “densify our region and im-pose transit-oriented develop-ment;” deplete road funding in favor of transit and increase traffic congestion; “push us out of our cars;” remake cit-ies and neighborhoods with a “government-approved mix” of race, ethnicity and income; distort market forces and sap development outside the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul; and make it harder for people to travel to their jobs. “The objective is to redis-tribute wealth from the sub-urbs to the urban core in order to pay for all of this,” Kersten said. “Under the new plan, suburban residents will likely pay more in taxes but get less in infrastructure and in services.” The Met Council’s ambi-tions don’t end there, Kersten said. It says its mission extends to solving complex social prob-lems like income inequality, the educational achievement gap and climate change, she said. Thrive MSP 2040 is “an ad-vanced symptom of the gover-nance problem that we need to solve,” Crockett said. “The good news here is the Legislature can fix this, and the bad news is only the Legislature can fix this,” she said. The Met Council should be “unwound in an or-derly fashion, much like AT & T was broken into Baby Bells.”

The four-county Twin Cit-ies’ Local Government Coali-tion has sent model resolutions to 186 cities, hoping for passage to fuel its efforts at the Capitol. In addition to seeking locally appointed council members, the group wants to stagger terms of members appointed by the governor so a new gov-ernor can’t immediately replace the chair and all 16 members. “What we saw as the key problem was the centralized control of the Met Council, that the governor holds all the cards,” Gerlach said. It’s not merely a partisan is-sue — even former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed a measure to adopt staggered terms, Gerlach said. The four counties are Dako-ta, Anoka, Carver and Scott. Other elected officials at the meeting included Dakota County commissioners Mary Liz Holberg, of Lakeville, and Liz Workman, of Burns-ville; Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Burnsville; Sen. Dan Hall, R-Burnsville; Rep. Linda Run-beck, R-Circle Pines, chair of the House Subcommittee on Metropolitan Council Ac-countability and Transparency; and Savage Mayor Janet Wil-liams.

Eagan middle school teacher charged with stalking a studentHansen taught at Black Hawk, sent numerous inappropriate messages to 12-year-old girl

by Jessica HarperSUN THISWEEK


A former Eagan mid-dle school teacher was charged on Thursday with stalking a 12-year-old female student. Cody Woodrow Han-sen, who was a teacher at Black Hawk Middle School, allegedly sent numerous inappropriate messages to a student in his class via Snapchat

from November to Janu-ary. Hansen, 25, has since resigned from the school district. The student took screen shots and saved some of the conversa-tions, which she reported to Eagan police, accord-ing to the criminal com-plaint. “Criminal activity of this nature is a breach of trust of students and is a

violation of the law and school policy,” Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom said in a state-ment. “This behavior ul-timately hurts both the student and the student’s parents who have placed their trust in school staff.” Hansen, a Hastings resident, contacted the girl during the course of the school day and during holiday breaks using vari-ous usernames, including

one in which his name was spelled backward. In one message Hansen allegedly told the girl she was cute. In another, he asked if she had ever kissed anyone and if she liked older men. The girl didn’t know Hansen sent the messages until he admitted doing so, and he stated that he could get into trouble for talking to her, according to the complaint.

During one exchange, the student told Hansen that what he was doing was illegal and “extreme-ly weird.” The girl told police she felt “creepy and unsafe” in Hansen’s classroom. In an interview with police, Hansen alledgedly admitted he found the student’s Snapchat user-name from her Instagram account and sent her the inappropriate messages.

Hansen told police he has stopped communicating with the girl and “hoped this would all go away.” Hansen was charged by summons and his first court appearance has not yet been scheduled.

This photo of a buried railroad sign along the Mankato Line tracks on Denmark Avenue south of Farmington documented the heavy snowfalls that hit Dakota County in early 1979. “It is obvious the trains have not been running,” the Dakota County Tribune noted in its coverage in the Feb. 8, 1979, edition. The photo was published on the front page under the headline “We’re Havin’ a Cold Wave.”

7Days concert in Rosemount

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


The Front Porch Players are making their return to Rose-mount’s Steeple Cen-ter next month with a classic Agatha Christie whodunit. The theater group, sponsored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council, made its de-but in the summer of 2014 with the Neil Simon play “Bare-foot in the Park.” It was the first and, until now, only production the Front Porch Players were able to stage at the Steeple Center because of construction of an addition to the historic venue, which the troupe considers its home site. With the Steeple Center operational again, the Front Porch Players are set to present the murder mystery “The Mousetrap” March 4-13. The play, which debuted in London’s West End theater district in 1952, is set at an English manor during a snow-storm following a murder. “It’s just a fun show to put on,” said director Keith Reed, who serves as president and artistic director of the Front Porch Players. “People know the Agatha Christie characters — a lot of people read Agatha Christie, and even

if you don’t, you know the name.” The cast of the Front Porch Players produc-tion includes April Bai-ley, Brian Broszko, Alan Davis, Dave Hefferman, Ginny Leutgeb, Jeny Stevens, Andrew Troth and Kaleb Wick. The set for “The Mousetrap” — featur-ing two large bay win-dows and a fireplace — was under construction

this week, with the Second Act Play-ers, the arts council’s theater group for adults 50 and older, serving as the pri-mary volunteers. Reed said the Front Porch Players’s aim is to stage two full productions, along with two smaller melodrama pro-ductions, each year at the Steeple Cen-ter. A follow-up production to “The Mousetrap” is tentatively planned for fall 2016. Tickets for “The Mousetrap” are $14 and can be purchased on the Rose-mount Area Arts Council website, www.rosemountarts.com. Show times are 7 p.m. March 4-5 and 11-12, and 2 p.m. March 6 and 13.

PETITIONSTATE OF MINNESOTACOUNTY OF DAKOTADISTRICT COURTFIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICTCOURT FILE No. 19HA-CV-16-235Case Type: Condemnation City of Inver Grove Heights, a Minnesota municipal corporation,Petitioner,v.GlenLin Properties, LLC, a Minnesota corporation;Lawrence J. Flannery and Linda L. Flannery, husband and wife, Northern States Power Company, d/b/aXcel Energy, a Minnesota corporation;Xcel Energy Inc., a Minnesota corporation;Ideal Credit Union, f/k/a Postal Credit Union, a Minnesota corporation; Thrivent Federal Credit Union, f/k/a Thrivent Financial Bank, organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America; and County of Dakota; and all other parties unknown having any right, title or interest in the property described in Petitioner’s Petition, together with the un-known heirs or devisees, if any, of the parties that may be deceased, and including unknown spouses, if any, and all others claiming any interest in the property described in Petitioner’s Petition,Respondents.

IN THE MATTER OF CONDEMNATION OF REAL PROPERTY EASEMENTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, COUNTY OF DAKOTA, MINNESOTA, FOR DRAINAGE AND UTIL-ITY PURPOSES, INCLUDING TRUNK UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS

AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRUNK WATER MAINS AND TRUNK SANITARY SEWER WITHIN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF

INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, ARGENTA DISTRICT (70th STREET LIFT STATION TO BLACKSTONE RIDGE DEVELOPMENT)

CITY PROJECT No. 2015-13TO THE ABOVE NAMED COURT:Petitioner respectfully represents and states to the Court:

I. That Petitioner is a city duly organized, created and existing under and

by virtue of the laws of the State of Minnesota and is located in Dakota County, Minnesota.

II.That Petitioner is a statutory city pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,

Chapter 412, and derives its authority pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 444, 429 and 412 to build, construct, reconstruct, repair, en-large, improve or in any other manner obtain water and sanitary sewer systems and may acquire by condemnation any and all land and per-manent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction ease-ments for said water and sanitary sewer systems.

III.That in the exercise of its governmental powers as a statutory city and

as a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, Petitioner desires to acquire permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary con-struction easements over, under, across and through certain property necessary for public purposes to facilitate the City of Inver Grove Heights Northwest Area Trunk Utility Improvements – Argenta District (70th Street Lift Station to Blackstone Ridge Development) Project No. 2015-13 (the “Project”). The Project includes trunk watermain construction, trunk sani-tary sewer construction, storm water culvert repair, restoration and ap-purtenances.

More specifically, the Project provides for the extension of trunk wa-termain from Blackstone Vista, then easterly along the future 71st Street alignment, where it will cross under Argenta Trail and head north cross-ing under 70th Street (CSAH 26), terminating for future connection to the Blackstone Ridge Development.

The trunk sanitary sewer portion of the Project will serve as a trunk sanitary sewer for the area and will follow the same alignment as the wa-termain. This trunk sanitary sewer will connect to existing trunk facilities previously constructed in Blackstone Vista. The trunk sanitary sewer will follow the same alignment as the trunk watermain as it proceeds easterly and will terminate in Blackstone Ridge Development. The sewer will serve all parcels in the Argenta Sewer District.

IV.That Minnesota Statutes § 117.042 provides Petitioner with the author-

ity to gain title and possession to all the permanent drainage and util-ity easement and temporary construction easement parcels following a 90-day notice period. This statute is commonly referred to as the “quick take” statute. If a condemning authority does not utilize the “quick take” statute, the title and right of possession to the various permanent drainage and utility easement and temporary construction easement parcels would only transfer to Petitioner following the settlement of each parcel valua-tion case which can extend over a multi-year period. Petitioner would be unable to advertise, receive bids and award a single construction con-tract for the Project unless it utilizes the “quick take” statute. The 90-day “quick take” procedure must be utilized: a) to allow Petitioner to award a single and reasonably economical construction contract for the Project; b) to meet the 2016-2017 Project construction schedule and avoid the need for extended temporary construction easement takings; and c) to coordinate the Project trunk sanitary sewer main construction with the construction of the sanitary sewer lift station property being acquired in fee by direct purchase.

V.The City Council of the City of Inver Grove Heights has duly adopted

Resolution No. 16-02 determining that it is necessary to acquire the per-manent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction ease-ments described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made a part hereof, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 117.042 (the “quick take” statute). Said Resolution also approved the Petitioner’s appraised values of the perma-nent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction ease-ments described in the attached EXHIBIT A.

VI.That it is the intention of Petitioner to proceed under Minnesota Stat-

utes, Chapter 117, to take title and possession of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements required for the Project pursuant to the “quick take” provision of Minnesota Statutes, § 117.042.

VII.That Petitioner was assisted by its property acquisition consultant for

the direct purchase of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements required for the Project. Petitioner has been unable to negotiate a direct purchase settlement of the easement parcels shown in the attached EXHIBIT A.

In 2006, the State of Minnesota enacted various eminent domain re-forms including an amendment to Minn. Stat. § 117.036 which: a) requires Petitioner to provide the property owner with a copy of the Petitioner’s appraisal and inform the property owner of the right to obtain an appraisal and receive reimbursement of appraisal costs pursuant to § 117.036, b) requires reimbursement of a property owner’s appraisal costs up to $1,500 for single family and two-family residential property and minimum dam-age acquisitions (i.e. appraised damages of $10,000 or less) and $5,000 for other types of property, and c) requires good faith negotiations which include a good faith attempt to negotiate personally with the property owner. Petitioner has complied with the statutory appraisal copy disclo-sure, notice of property owner appraisal rights, appraisal cost reimburse-ment, and good faith negotiation requirements of Minn. Stat. §117.036.

VIII.That the acquisition of property rights by a municipality utilizing its

power of eminent domain is commonly referred to as a “taking” (as refer-enced below in Minn. Stat. §117.055). Please note, however, that the mu-nicipality must also pay just compensation for the “taking” of the property rights for a public use or purpose.

Minn. Stat. §117.055, Subd. 2(b) specifically states that:(1) a party wishing to challenge the public use or public purposes, ne-

cessity, or authority for a taking must appear at the court hearing and state the objection or must appeal within 60 days of a court order; and

(2) the court order approving the public use or public purpose, neces-sity, and authority for the taking is final unless an appeal is brought within 60 days after service of the order on the party.

IX.That the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary con-

struction easements to be taken herein by eminent domain proceedings are in the City of Inver Grove Heights, Dakota County, Minnesota and de-scribed in the attached EXHIBIT A. The names of all persons appearing of record or known to your Petitioner to be the owners of the lands or claim-ing interest thereon are also stated in the attached EXHIBIT A.

X.Petitioner reserves the right to recover costs of testing and cleanup and

all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous materials on the property described in the Petition from all responsible parties in a separate legal action. Petitioner further requests that if tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of Petitioner indicate the presence of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous materials on said properties, requiring that the condemnation commission awards be condi-tioned on the right of Petitioner to bring a separate legal action to recover cleanup and testing costs and other recoverable damages.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays:(a) that such proceedings may be had herein provided by law; (b) that it be adjudged that the taking by eminent domain proceedings

is necessary and authorized by law;(c) that the purpose for which the permanent drainage and utility ease-

ments and temporary construction easements proposed to be taken is for a public project and for public use;

(d) that transfer of title and possession of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements be ordered pur-suant to Minnesota Statutes, § 117.042;

(e) that the permanent drainage and utility easement rights granted are forever and shall include, but are not limited to, the construction, opera-

tion, maintenance, inspection, repair and replacement of any public drain-age and utility improvements, underground pipes, conduits, other utilities and mains, and all facilities and improvements ancillary, incident or related thereto, under, over, across, through and upon the permanent drainage and utility easement area;

(f) that the permanent drainage and utility easement rights of the City shall also include the right of the City, its contractors, agents and servants:

(1) to enter upon the permanent drainage and utility easement areas at all reasonable times for the purposes of construction, operation, re-

construction, inspection, repair, replacement, grading, sloping, and res-toration relating to the purposes of the permanent drainage and utility easements; and

(2) to maintain the permanent drainage and utility easement areas, any City improvements and any underground pipes, conduits, or mains, to-gether with the right to excavate and refill ditches or trenches for the loca-tion of drainage and utility improvements; and

(3) to remove from the permanent drainage and utility easement areas trees, brush, herbage, aggregate, undergrowth and other obstructions in-terfering with the location, construction and maintenance of the pipes, conduits, or mains and to deposit earthen material in and upon the per-manent drainage and utility easement areas; and

(4) to remove or otherwise dispose of all earth or other material exca-vated from the permanent drainage and utility easement areas as the City may deem appropriate;

(g) that the temporary construction easement rights of the City also include the right of the City, its contractors, agents and servants:

(1) to enter upon the temporary construction easement areas during the term of their existence for the purposes of construction, operation, inspection, grading, sloping, and restoration relating to the purposes of the temporary constructions easements; and

(2) to maintain the temporary construction easement areas during the term of their existence, together with the right to excavate and refill ditch-es or trenches for the location of improvements; and

(3) to remove from the temporary construction easement areas during the term of their existence trees, brush, herbage, aggregate, undergrowth and other obstructions interfering with the location of improvements; and

(4) to remove or otherwise dispose of all earth or other material exca-vated from the temporary construction easement areas during the term of their existence as the City may deem appropriate;

(h) that Petitioner is further granted the right, but is not obligated, to re-move, cap, seal, or destroy the well located within the permanent drainage and utility easement area and/or the temporary construction easement area on Parcel 1 as described in Exhibit A, and/or to destroy, remove, cap or seal the septic system located within the permanent drainage and util-ity easement area and/or the temporary construction easement area on Parcel 1 as described in Exhibit A;

(i) that three competent and impartial persons be appointed as com-missioners to ascertain and report the amount of damages that will be sustained by the several owners or persons interested on account of the above described taking;

(j) that the time and place of the first meeting and the compensation of the said commissioners be fixed;

(k) that Petitioner be reserved the right to recover costs of testing and cleanup and all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous materials on the property described in this Petition, from all responsible parties in a separate legal action. Further, should tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of Petitioner indi-cate the presence of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous materials on said properties, requiring that the condemnation commission awards be conditioned on the right of Petitioner to bring a separate legal action to recover cleanup and testing costs and other recoverable damages; and

(l) that such further and other orders be made herein pursuant to Min-nesota Statutes, Chapter 117, and provided in such case.Dated: January 25, 2016.LeVANDER, GILLEN & MILLER, P.A./s/ Jay P.

CITY PROJECT No. 2015-13TO: THE DISTRICT COURT ADMINISTRATOR AND ALL PARTIES IDEN-

TIFIED ON THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A AS HAVING ANY RIGHT TITLE OR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED THEREIN AND ALL OTHERS CLAIMING ANY INTEREST IN SAID PROPERTY (“Respondents”).

YOU WILL PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 117.055, you are hereby notified that the objects of Petitioner’s Petition in condemnation are fully stated in the “Petition” that is being served and published contemporaneously with this Notice of the Objects of the Peti-tion. The objective of the Petition is to secure a court order approving Petitioner’s requested acquisition of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements over, under, across and through certain property necessary for public purposes to facilitate the City of Inver Grove Heights Northwest Area Trunk Utility Improvements - Argenta District (70th Street Lift Station to Blackstone Ride Develop-ment) Project No. 2015-13 (the “Project”).

More specifically, the Project provides for the extension of trunk wa-termain from Blackstone Vista, then easterly along the future 71st Street alignment, where it will cross under Argenta Trail and head north cross-ing under 70th Street (CSAH 26), terminating for future connection to the Blackstone Ridge Development.

The trunk sanitary sewer portion of the Project will serve as a trunk sanitary sewer for the area and will follow the same alignment as the wa-termain. This trunk sanitary sewer will connect to existing trunk facilities previously constructed in Blackstone Vista. The trunk sanitary sewer will follow the same alignment as the trunk watermain as it proceeds easterly and will terminate in Blackstone Ridge Development. The sewer will serve all parcels in the Argenta Sewer District.

The permanent drainage utility easements and temporary construction easements that are proposed to be acquired are legally described in the attached EXHIBIT A, together with the names of all persons appearing of record or known to Petitioner to be owners of said real property interests, including all of whom Petitioner has been able by investigation and due inquiry to discover, together with the nature of the ownership as nearly as can be ascertained.

The acquisition of property rights by a municipality utilizing its power of eminent domain is commonly referred to as a “taking” (as referenced below in Minn. Stat. § 117.055). Please note, however, that the municipal-ity must also pay just compensation for the “taking” of the property rights for a public use or public purpose.

Minn. Stat. § 117.055, Subd. 2 (b) specifically states that:(1) a party wishing to challenge the public use or public purposes, ne-

cessity, or authority for a taking must appear at the court hearing and state the objection or must appeal within 60 days of a court order; and

(2) a court order approving the public use or public purpose, necessity, and authority for the taking is final unless an appeal is brought within 60 days after service of the order on the party.

YOU, AND EACH OF YOU, ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that on May 19, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, at a Special Term of the District Court of the County of Dakota, Judicial Cen-ter, 1560 West Highway 55, Hastings, Minnesota 55033, Petitioner, City of Inver Grove Heights, will present its Petition for the condemnation of certain property situated in Dakota County, Minnesota, for the purpose of acquiring the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements described in its Petition, on file in the office of the District Court Administrator of the above-named Court, and in its Notice of Intent to Take Title and Possession, which has been served upon Re-spondents. The transfer of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements will be effective as indicated in the Court’s order transferring title and possession to the Petitioner.

YOU, AND EACH OF YOU, ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that at the above time and place, Petitioner will also move the Court for an Order transfer-ring title and right of possession of the permanent drainage and utility easements and temporary construction easements described in the at-tached EXHIBIT A to Petitioner. The motion will be made on all files and records herein and under authority of Minn. Stat. § 117.042, as amended, which provides for such Order upon deposit with the Court or payment to Respondents of an amount equal to Petitioner’s approved appraisal of value for the permanent drainage and utility easements and tempo-rary construction easements. The deposit of the amount for the benefit of those entitled by law to damages will be made to Respondents on or before the date of transfer of title and possession pursuant to this motion.

The Petitioner further prays for the appointment by the Court of three disinterested commissioners to ascertain and report the damages for the permanent drainage and utility easement and temporary construction easement interests to be taken and acquired for the above-stated pur-pose and the injuries caused by such taking.

The Petitioner reserves the right to recover costs of cleanup and test-ing and all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, con-taminants or hazardous materials on the property described in the Petition from all responsible parties in a separate legal action. In the event that tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of Petitioner indicate the presence of pollution, contamination or hazardous materials on said prop-erties, the Petitioner further reserves the right to condition the condem-nation commission awards on the right of Petitioner to bring a separate legal action to recover testing, cleanup, costs and all other recoverable damages.

FOR TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS

PROCEEDINGS) STATE OF MINNESOTACOUNTY OF DAKOTACOUNTY COURTJUVENILE DIVISIONFile No. 19HA-JV-16-302In the Matter of the Welfare of K. R. S.,Child. TO: Scott James Nichols

Social Worker, Tammy Loberg, having filed in this Court, a petition alleging among other things that the above named child is, in need of protection or services, in this, viz: All rights of the parent(s) to the child should be terminated pursu-ant to Minnesota Statutes, section: 260C.301, Subd. 1(b)(1), because the parent has abandoned the child. 260C.301, Subd. 1(b)(2), be-cause the parent has substantially, continuously or repeatedly refused or neglected to comply with the du-ties imposed upon that parent by the parent and child relationship, including but not limited to provid-ing the child with necessary food, clothing, shelter, education, and other care and control necessary for the child’s physical, mental, or emotional health and development, if the parents are physically and financially able, and either reason-able efforts by the social services agency have failed to correct the conditions that formed the basis of the petition or reasonable efforts would be futile and therefore un-reasonable. 260C.301, Subd. 1(b)(4), because the parent is palpably unfit to be a party to the parent and child relationship because of a con-sistent pattern of specific conduct before the child or of specific con-ditions directly relating to the par-ent and child relationship, either of which are determined by the court to be of a duration or nature that renders the parent unable, for the reasonably foreseeable future, to care appropriately for the ongo-ing physical, mental, or emotional needs of the child. It is presumed that a parent is palpably unfit to be a party to the parent and child re-lationship upon a showing that the parent’s parental rights to one or more other children were involun-tarily terminated. 260C.301, Subd. 1(b)(5), because following the child’s placement out of the home, reasonable efforts, under the direc-tion of the court, have failed to cor-rect the conditions leading to the child’s placement.

IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR FOR THIS HEARING, THE COURT MAY CONDUCT THE HEARING IN YOUR ABSENCE AND IT MAY RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS.

IT IS ORDERED that said petition be heard and the facts concerning such child be examined by the Court in the County Court Room, in the Court House, in Hastings, Min-nesota, on March 16, 2016 at 10:30 am, or as soon thereafter as said matter can be heard;

DAKOTA COUNTY COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT AGENCY MORTGAGE CREDIT

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that

the Dakota County Community Development Agency (the “CDA”) intends to continue to make Mort-gage Credit Certificates (“MCCs”) available to certain qualified per-sons purchasing eligible homes in Dakota County, Minnesota (the “County”), under its Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (the “Program”).

An MCC is intended to reduce the amount of federal income tax a borrower must pay in order to free up income for the borrower to qualify for a mortgage loan. An MCC allows the borrower to take a nonrefundable credit against his or her federal income tax liability each year in an amount equal to between 20% or 35% (the specific rate is to be determined and may be changed from time to time) of the interest paid by the borrower on the mortgage identified in the MCC. The terms of the MCC and the Pro-gram will be subject to the provi-sions and limitations of Section 25 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTSAn MCC is issued to a borrower

in connection with a specific mort-gage loan on a qualifying home. The CDA anticipates that the re-

quirements for a borrower to be eligible to receive an MCC will be as follows:

• Principal Residence Require-ment. The borrower must occupy the financed home as his or her principal residence, beginning on a date that is within 60 days after the MCC is issued. In general, “prin-cipal residence” means an eligible home which the borrower will own and will occupy as his or her princi-pal residence throughout the term of the MCC. If at any time the bor-rower who is the holder of an MCC ceases to occupy the home as his or her principal residence, the MCC will be revoked so that the tax cred-it may no longer be taken and the borrower may be required to pay an additional tax intended to recapture a portion of the credit previously taken. There are exceptions to the recapture requirement where joint tenants are divorced and one of them moves out, or where a mort-gagor dies.

• Income Limit. The maximum annual gross income for a borrower to qualify for an MCC under the Program is expected to be 100% of median income for the County for households of one- or two-persons (currently $86,600) and a higher limit not exceeding 115% of median income for households of three or more persons. In general, the combined gross income of: (i) all mortgagors; (ii) any mortgagor’s spouse intending to permanently live in the home being financed; and (iii) any co-signer of the note (whether or not an owner of the home or a mortgagor) intending to permanently live in the home be-ing financed; is used to determine income for purposes of this limit. In general, “gross income” means all income received on an annual-ized basis. The CDA may adjust the income limit during the Program to a figure or figures which do not ex-ceed federal and state limits.

• First-Time Homebuyer Re-quirement. The borrower must be a first-time-homebuyer, defined as someone who has not had an own-ership interest in his or her princi-pal residence during the three-year period prior to the date the MCC is issued. Qualified veterans are ex-empt from the first-time homebuyer requirement.

• Purchase Price Limit. The purchase price of an eligible home cannot exceed limits established under federal and state law, which currently limit prices to $285,780 for a one-unit home and $398,935 for a duplex. For purposes of this limit, the purchase price includes amounts to be paid in cash or in kind for the home, as well as costs to complete an unfinished home and the capitalized value of ground rent (where applicable). The CDA may adjust the purchase price lim-its during the Program as required by federal and state limits or in ac-cordance with policy of the CDA.

• Eligible Home. Homes eligible for purchase under the Program generally include new or previously occupied townhomes, condo-miniums or detached single family homes or an existing duplex locat-ed in the County. Mobile homes, trailers, unimproved land, invest-ment or rental property, and vaca-tion homes are not eligible homes under the Program.

• New Mortgage Requirement. With certain exceptions, MCCs may only be issued in connection with new mortgage loans and not in connection with the refinancing of a home. This limitation does not ap-ply to certain temporary financings.

METHODS BY WHICH MCCS ARE TO BE ISSUED

MCCs are expected to be issued by the CDA pursuant to one or more Programs on a date not earlier than ninety (90) days after publication of this notice and through Decem-ber 31, 2018, or, if earlier, exhaus-tion of the Program’s authority or termination of the Program by the CDA. Notwithstanding this notice, the CDA reserves the right not to establish the MCC Program or to establish a first-time-homebuyer program using single family mort-gage revenue bonds instead of an MCC program. The CDA’s ultimate decision will depend in part on the financial markets at the time the decision is made.

In order to receive an MCC, a prospective homebuyer will need to make an application to one of the participating lenders to be named by the CDA. The CDA publishes on its website (www.dakotacda.org) a Program Manual identifying the participating lenders and describ-ing in greater detail the eligibility requirements for an MCC and the method for a prospective home-buyer to make application for an MCC. The application for an MCC will typically be made in connection with the borrower’s mortgage loan application.

LENDERSThe application for and issuance

of MCCs is not limited to mortgage loans made by or through any par-ticular lender or lenders. Any lender which agrees to participate in the Program may facilitate the receipt of MCCs by applicants for their mortgage loans. The CDA strongly encourages interested lenders to participate in the Program.

the Program and its requirements, for prospective borrowers as well as lenders, may be obtained by contacting the following person:Karly SchoemanDakota County Community Devel-opment Agency1228 Town Centre DriveEagan, MN 55123PH: 651-675-4488
