Settlement amount for Ulfers is $115,000Former CDA executive director will release all claims against the agency

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Community Development Agency and its in-surance provider will pay the CDA’s former execu-tive director of 38 years $115,000 in exchange for Mark Ulfers’s full release of claims against the CDA as part of a settlement agree-ment that was reached in arbitration. The CDA Board, which includes all members of the County Board, ap-proved on April 19 the agreement, which brings to a close more than a year-long dispute as the CDA accused Ulfers of workplace harassment and he denied those charges at the time of his termination and later during a 30-min-ute address to the board during a name-clearing hearing.

“My family, friends and colleagues have been amazing and never wa-vered in their support,” Ulfers told the newspaper

this week. “I could not be more fortu-nate and blessed to have so many people believe in me.” Ulfers’s termina-tion, which the CDA says was for cause, was effec-tive May 12, 2015

— 60 days after Ulfers received notice that the CDA Board approved the termination at its March 3 meeting. Ulfers and the CDA Board’s insurance carrier Chubb Group entered me-diation March 10 in Min-neapolis when they agreed to resolve Ulfers’ claims on mutually acceptable terms, according to the CDA.

Propane leak caused food truck explosion Investigation

officially closed by Laura Adelmann

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A food truck explosion last March that damaged several homes in Lakeville was caused by a propane gas leak, according to a State Fire Marshal investi-gation. Investigator Bruce McGlaughlin’s recent re-port documents details of the Motley Crews Heavy Metal Grill food truck explosion that occurred at 11 p.m. Friday, March 6, 2015, at owner Marty Richie’s Joplin Path home. According to the re-port, three cooking grid-dle control knobs were left in the “off” position, but their three propane gas controls were all found to be in the “on” position fol-lowing the incident. A propane gas mani-

fold valve supplying the griddle was also found in the “on” position. The report stated the doors to the truck were left unlocked and Richie and his girlfriend, Lisa Caufield, were away from home with friends at the time of the blast.

Richie’s daughter, Sa-mantha, was at home in the basement when the truck exploded. She was driven to Fairview Ridges Hospital where she was evaluated and released. The report said there were no injuries caused by the blast.

A neighbor across the street in his garage when the truck exploded told in-vestigators said he did not notice any odor, flameball or smoke prior to or dur-ing the explosion. Richie told investiga-tors he had spent the day prepping the truck for a Saturday afternoon event, cleaning it and filling its undercarriage propane tank at the Lakeville Mar-athon station at around 5 p.m. Heather Keske, the employee who filled the tanks, reportedly told in-vestigators she had filled Richie’s food truck tank 50 times before, and when she fills it the tank valve is turned off. She said she was unable to open the tank bleeder valve, which was unusual. Keske said she did not notice any leaks during or after the fill. She told in-vestigators she unhooked

the fill line and did not open the tank valve or see Richie open the valve. Richie said he parked the truck at his home, plugged in a 50 amp elec-trical service cord and turned on the truck circuit breakers to power refrig-eration appliances. The report said the truck contained propane cooking burners, an elec-tric water heater, a deep fat fryer, electrical refrig-erators and two other propane tanks, which had their valves turned off. Investigators also found that no pilot light was lit inside the truck. Richie told investiga-tors he never noticed any unusual odors or pro-pane leaks during the drive home or while it was parked in the driveway. The blast had blown debris onto neighboring

Marty Richie’s house where his food truck exploded pro-pelling debris as far as 500 feet and damaging as many as a dozen homes nearby. Neighbors said they felt the explo-sion from miles away. (File photo)

City to celebrate 50 years of Freedom Days by Andrew Miller


Apple Valley’s annual Freedom Days festival will return this summer with a special emphasis on its 50th anniversary. In addition to festival staples such as the Fourth of July parade and clas-sic car show, organizers are planning to mark the event’s half-century mile-stone with a July 1 con-cert in Johnny Cake Ridge Park showcasing 50 years of music, from 1966 — the year the festival debuted — to the present day. This year’s festival runs June 27-July 4. Activities include a junior golf tour-nament at Valleywood Golf Course as well as a kids fishing derby at Lac Lavon. The annual classic car show and vendor fair is set for July 2, followed on July 3 by Family Fun

Night with a carnival at Johnny Cake Ridge Park. The capstone to this year’s festival on July 4 features a Fun Run, the ever-popular commu-nity parade and a pre-fireworks party at Johnny Cake Ridge Park, with a fireworks display at dusk. Freedom Days chair Pat Schesso said organiz-ers are looking to increase participation in this year’s parade, and are encourag-ing businesses and com-munity groups to take part by entering a float or sponsoring entertainers. And while the festival is celebrating 50 years, Schesso said the Fourth of July parade will pay tribute to two local organizations also celebrating anniver-saries. Serving as parade marshals will be repre-sentatives from the Apple Valley Fire Department — in honor of its 50th an-

niversary — and the Apple Valley American Legion, which is marking its 40th anniversary in 2016. Registration forms for

the parade, and the clas-sic car show and vendor fair, are available at www.avfreedomdays.com. For registration information,

contact Pat Schesso at 952-432-0386.

Lucas Foods to host benefit for Leukemia & Lymphoma SocietyEagan nonprofit will also serve meals to families at inner city Boys and Girls Club

by Jessica HarperSUN THISWEEK


Lucas Foods, an Eagan non-profit founded by 13-year-old Lucas Hobbs of Eagan, will be hosting an event next weekend to benefit those battling leuke-mia and lymphoma. Lucas was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma in February 2015 and endured surgery, chemotherapy treat-ments, and a blood transfusion over several months. During his

battle with cancer, the family re-ceived an outpouring of support from the local community. Lucas decided to pay it for-ward last year when he used his wish from Make-A-Wish Min-nesota to use food trucks to pro-vide meals for those in need. In March, he and his fam-ily founded Chef Lucas Foods, an Eagan-based nonprofit that brings food trucks to people in need and to charity events. The nonprofit pays for the food and the food trucks donate their la-bor. In January, Lucas was named Boy of the Year by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and as such, he decided to use his newly created nonprofit to host a ben-

efit event for LLS on Saturday, May 14. “We just wanted to do our part for the cause and thought this would be the best way to do it,” said Matt Hobbs, Lucas’s fa-ther. The event will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at Inbound Brewco in Minneapolis and will include food provided by Gastrotruck and O’Cheeze food trucks, bev-erages from InBound and live entertainment. Both food trucks will serve a special menu that features turkey and Vidalia on-ions. Vidalia Onions and the National Turkey Federation are two major sponsors of the event. There will be performances by DJ Head, a Grammy-win-

ning DJ who is best known for his work with rapper Eminem; Nicholas David, an Eagan resi-dent who was featured on the re-ality show, “The Voice”; as well as the Italian rock band, Maxo-phone. Tickets cost $40 and include food, one beverage, and enter-tainment. Proceeds will benefit LLS of Minnesota. Lucas hopes to raise about $5,000 for LLS. Tickets can be purchased in ad-vance at cheflucasfoods.com or at the door. In addition to the LLS event, Chef Lucas will be providing lunch that afternoon for families at the Boys and Girls Club near downtown in St. Paul. DJ Head and five local rappers will per-

form at the event. Lucas had planned to prepare a turkey dinner for families at the Boys and Girls Club around Easter 2015 but was too ill so his father made the dinner in his honor. “This was really the birth of Chef Lucas Foods,” Matt Hobbs said. When the National Turkey Federation agreed to sponsor the LLS event, Lucas immedi-ately thought of the Girls and Boys Club, and convinced the federation to also donate turkey to serve there as well as at the LLS event.

Ice rink is focal point of referendum this month in RosemountRosemount

hockey leaders say time is right for another rink

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK


With 43 youth and high school hockey teams in Rosemount and the Rose-mount Area Hockey As-sociation’s participation ranking it 15th among 140 Minnesota hockey associ-ations, RAHA leaders say another indoor ice rink is needed now in the city. But whether or not the city of Rosemount will build that rink is up to lo-cal voters. Rosemount residents will decide on Tuesday, May 17, if the city can is-sue up to $15 million in bonds to fund the con-struction of an indoor ice rink, develop new youth baseball and soccer-sized fields and make improve-ments to Central Park. Comprising more than half of the funds at stake in the election, the ice rink has been a focal point of conversation since the city announced the bond package in March.

Opponents have said that the price tag for the bond package is too high and disproportionately benefits those who skate. If approved, the esti-mated tax impact to the median value home of $238,250 would be $99 per year for the 20-year life of the bonds. The city says most commercial and industrial properties would experi-ence an annual property tax increase of around 1.6 percent. Rising property values over the past few years have been the primary drivers of annual property tax increases for the city portion of taxes, which have been for the median value home $34 for pay-able 2016, $26 for payable 2015 and by $12 for pay-able 2014. Among the most vocal supporters of the bond referendum have been RAHA leaders who say the rink is needed based on its participation growth of 40 percent over the past five years from 400 to 640, less than ideal prac-tice times, the inability to host big tournaments, the need to travel to rinks out-

side of Rosemount to find practice and game space and the economic boost it could provide. “The time is now to get this done,” said Chris Ka-lata, RAHA communica-tions director. Advocates for a second ice rink in Rosemount say it would allow children and teens to avoid play-ing too early in the morn-ing or too late at night as has been the norm at the Rosemount Community Center Ice Arena, which was built in 1993. Open from early morn-ing to late into the eve-ning daily during the ice season, the rink often has junior varsity high school girls practices slated at 7 a.m. and sometimes has 9- and 10-year-old players pegged in for 9 p.m. prac-tices. “That is a huge issue with us,” Kalata said. “We try to rotate the teams through fairly.” RAHA leaders say they are doing all they can to avoid having young play-ers filling those odd hours, but with increased partici-pation, especially among girls, those hours are hard to avoid.

He said about 90 per-cent of RAHA’s practices at the Rosemount Ice Arena are shared practices with two teams on either side of the red line at one time. This reduces the cost for players. “We try to keep the cost as low as possible to par-ticipate,” Kalata said. Because of a full Rose-mount Ice Arena schedule, teams have been com-pelled to schedule prac-tices and games at the pri-vately-owned The Pond in Rosemount, which Kalata said is too small of a rink for teams over Bantam age (13-15), or as far away as Hastings, Bloomington and St. Paul. “We are forced to travel a long ways,” Kalata said. Kalata said RAHA is limited in hosting tourna-ments since there is not enough ice time. Having families driving to loca-tions elsewhere for practic-es, games and tournaments is a lost economic op-

portunity for Rosemount businesses that could ben-efit from families using stores and restaurants be-fore and after these events. “We are taking money out of Rosemount,” Kala-ta said. “All that stopping along the way should have its money spent in Rose-mount, which is what we’d get with a second sheet. “(Tournaments) would bring in other teams and have an economic impact,” Kalata said. A tournament could also raise money for the association, which would help to offset participation costs for its players. The inconvenience and rising costs to go outside of the Rosemount Ice Are-na make a family’s com-mitment to hockey more challenging, according to RAHA leaders. They say a second sheet of ice could increase par-ticipation even more by reducing these perceived barriers.

“We do not turn kids away,” Kalata said. “If they want to play hockey, we will find a spot for you.” He said a second rink could also give rise to a figure skating club, which Rosemount does not cur-rently have. There are skating clubs in Burnsville, Eagan and a combined club for Farmington and Lakeville.

Too costly Opponents have said that it’s too costly to op-erate one ice arena, much less a second indoor rink. From 2012 to 2014, the city has transferred $115,000 as a subsidy for the Rosemount Ice Arena. This amount is set aside for capital projects such as $145,000 to replace the ice resurfacer as part of the city’s total $14.5 million capital improvement bud-get for all departments in

Lewis will defend the Constitution To the editor: They have often met as enemies. They have ex-changed many shots and even and a few broadsides. The time has come when Republicans must select, from these pugilists, the

one who will succeed our wonderful outgoing U.S. Rep. John Kline. One candidate towers above the rest and that is Jason Lewis. For many decades Jason has consis-tently displayed the virtues necessary of a statesman. The virtues of courage, moderation, and justice, as described by Aristotle,

have long been the hall-mark of Jason Lewis. Jason has been the sym-bol for all who treasure freedom. As the ultimate pro-life candidate and defender of the Constitu-tion, Jason is the stalwart model for those who cher-ish liberty. For those who do not understand the importance of individual

liberty as denoted in our Constitution, its loss is sel-dom known until it is too late, for it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Process unfair to third-party candidates To the editor: Most Minnesotans (in fact, most Americans) are unaware of the barriers that exist for third-party candidates to simply be placed on a ballot. For Re-publican and Democratic Party candidates, being placed on the ballot is as simple as receiving party endorsement, then pay-ing a $100 filing fee. For “minor party” candidates, however, the process is not nearly so simple. The Inde-pendence Party and Liber-tarian Party, for example, are classified as “minor parties” unless their candi-dates receive greater than 5 percent of the vote in any

election. For candidates from these parties, ballot access requires collecting individual signatures on a nominating petition. The number of signatures can range from 250 for local office, 500 for state rep-resentatives, or 2,000 for statewide office (such as governor). This is a sig-nificant hassle that Demo-crats and Republicans are not subjected to. I am raising this situa-tion to your attention be-cause this newspaper pre-sented the Democratic and Republican candidates for District 57B before the fil-ing period for third parties has even opened. Candi-dates for minor parties are given a two-week window from May 17-31 to collect and submit their petitions. So not only do Democrats and Republicans gain an unfair advantage in their ease of ballot access, they are now also getting pub-licity before minor party candidates have even al-lowed to file! As a member of the Libertarian Party of Min-nesota, I feel it’s my duty to

make other citizens aware that their ballot choices are being unfairly limit-ed – and that the process of limiting voters’ choice is actually entrenched in state policy, to the benefit of the two “major” parties. I’d ask that in the future, the newspaper consider at least waiting until after the candidate filing period before it starts to publish questionnaires on candi-dates’ positions. Voters choices are not even fully established yet, but the press continues to ignore the “non-mainstream” options, regardless of the fact that 20 percent of American votes identify as independent. In a year with a hotly contested presidential contest whose candidates are regarded by many as controversial, many voters will be look-ing for another option – and that includes those of us in District 57B.

Changes could be coming for Met Council

Courageous, award-winning student speeches

Cedar Avenue skybridge – let’s finish the job

by Don HeinzmanSUN THISWEEK


Chances are if you were asked who governs Metro Transit’s bus and light rail systems, you wouldn’t answer, “The Metropolitan Council.” Or if you ever wanted to know who processes the sewer coming from your house, you might be surprised to learn it’s the Metropolitan Council. And if you wondered who operates the regional park near you, you’d dis-cover it is the Metropolitan Council. If you knew the Met Council also has helped plan the 182 communities in the seven-county area since 1967 and has some power to tax, you’d probably pay attention. Perhaps if you learned that com-

missioners from Scott, Dakota, Anoka and Carver counties have hired a lob-byist and want to change who is on the 16-member council, you’d wonder why. What’s all the fuss about? Those commissioners contend the council should be elected or at least its members should be elected officials, like county commissioners. Ever since the council was formed, its members have been appointed by

the governor for the state leader’s time in office. The upstart county commission-ers don’t like some of the council’s decisions, specifically how it allocates transportation dollars and how it af-fects the growth, particularly where af-fordable housing is located. For years, the Legislature has tried to avoid changing the council, partly because, I believe, it doesn’t want a re-gional elected body that will take away some of its powers. This probably will be the year the Legislature makes some changes in how the council members are nomi-nated. This initiative is coming after a study by the respected Citizens League that advocates an expanded nominat-

ing committee. It would include three city members, three county members and seven members appointed by the governor. Now it is a seven-member committee. The league is recommending stag-gered terms instead of ones that run the duration of the governor’s term. Rep. Tony Albright, R-Prior Lake, has a bill that would allow only elected city and county officials to be appoint-ed to the council. Unless amended, that’s unlikely to pass. Something will pass as legislators have a solution looking for a problem.

The student’s essay begins: “‘You’re not going to amount to anything. You’re nothing but a half-breed bitch.’ These are the things that are said in a place I’m supposed to call home. Home is a place where I’m supposed to feel ac-cepted, safe. But to me, home is appro-priately called hell, for many reasons.” The award-winning essay from the student who was assaulted concludes with her rejecting advice that “forgive-ness is the key to moving on from some-thing like this.” Instead, she’s concluded: “Moving on from something like this is to suc-ceed. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to graduate in June and go to college to be a neurosurgeon. I’m going to move out and never look back on this life. And I promise myself that I will never let myself fall into this type of relationship, because a true man will never put his hands on a woman.” This northwest suburban student’s essay won first place and a standing ovation from the more than 200 stu-dents who participated in a recent state-wide conference and competition spon-sored by the Minnesota Association of Alternative Programs, aka MAAP. Another finalist, a youngster who

immigrated to the U.S., wrote that her mother “spent her entire life savings to send me here.” But high school has been a struggle: “I was constantly bul-lied because of my English and cloth-ing. My accent was an … amusement for classmates. … However, I couldn’t let myself sink. … I am finishing high school this summer and am proud to call my mom now and say ‘I did it.’” Those were judged two of the best presentations at the 16th annual MAAP STARS spring conference April 14-15, where 237 students from 30 Minnesota alternative schools and programs made public presentations, conducted mock interviews, shared their community ser-vice projects and videos, and displayed their art. Along with courage, several presen-tations displayed insight and compas-sion. Public presentations finalist Sam-mi Ryding from Northwest Passage High School in Coon Rapids wrote:

“I’m passionate about teen homeless-ness because I have seen many faces of homelessness. Even in one of my closest friend(s). She has personally experienced being homeless as a teen. She wasn’t accepted by her family and friends … and she soon believed then felt she had no other option other than to run away … so that’s what she did. … I wonder when people will realize we take things for granted when there are those that are praying for even a glim-mer of what we have.” Belicia Rodriguez of the Osseo Area Learning Center placed second for her fact-filled, passionate plea for people to stop eating animals. She wrote: “That may sound very difficult, or nearly im-possible, but it’s not as hard as it may seem. Pretty much everything out there has an alternative version that does not contain any animal products. … In one day alone, eating vegan can save 1,100 gallons of water, 45 lbs of grain, 30 sq. ft. of forest, 10 lbs of greenhouse gases, and an animal’s life. “ First- and second-place winners in various divisions came from, among others, Apple Valley ALC, Northwest Passage High School in Coon Rapids, Ivan Sand Community High School in Elk River, Hopkins Alternative Pro-gram, Minnesota River Valley Area Learning Center in Montevideo, Youth

Educational Services in Moorhead, the Osseo Area Learning Center, Highview Alternative School in Robbinsdale, Academic Arts in West St. Paul, Jen-nings Community Learning Center in St. Paul and the Community Learning Project in St. Paul. The statistics and summary of winners come from a re-cently completed report by Patti Haas-ch, a retired alternative school educator who volunteers to coordinate the pro-gram. Sammi’s speech concludes: “I’m ask-ing you to open your eyes and pay at-tention to homeless teens. My hope is just that you and I together can make a difference.” You and I can, with a modest com-mitment, help make a difference. MAAP is seeking judges for its confer-ence next year. It’s a limited, one- or two-day commitment. If you are inter-ested, please let me know. You’ll help recognize courageous youngsters. But you’ll also hear “soul-stirring” presen-tations that will enrich your life.

Apple Valley is blessed with a strong tax base and a growing business commu-nity. The city of Apple Valley and the Ap-ple Valley Chamber of Commerce have a great working relationship. We cooperate closely to provide our residents and businesses with a great place to live, work and play. We are working together on the next building block for our vibrant downtown — an enclosed pedestrian and bicycle sky-bridge across Cedar Avenue near Caribou Coffee and Applebee’s at 147th Street. You have no doubt seen the skybridge that currently exists at the Apple Valley Transit Station on Cedar Avenue near Cub Foods.This connection has proven to be an im-portant addition to the downtown by providing a safe and convenient way to cross busy Cedar Avenue south of County Road 42. As traffic levels continue to grow, we need a similar connection north of Coun-ty Road 42. Currently traffic volumes on Cedar Avenue top 50,000 cars per day.

Trying to cross this roadway near Apple-bee’s requires you to cross nine lanes of traffic! Downtown Apple Valley is a bustling jobs and activity center. It is home to over 9,000 jobs and more are on the way. Since the opening of the Cedar Avenue Transitway in 2011, we have seen $110 million in private development in and around the corridor. We need to ensure that Cedar Avenue does not become a barrier to our prosper-ity. Thankfully there is an easy fix to this problem. The 147th Street transit stop was built to easily accommodate the installation of a skybridge. The tall towers that you see along the roadway are already built to allow for the installation of the skybridge. Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney notes “it’s like

building the London Bridge towers and forgetting to build the bridge.” The business community looks for-ward to finishing this project that is al-ready 2/3 complete. Elevators and enclosed stairwells on both sides will connect to the skybridge to provide a safe crossing. Motorists will also benefit from the skybridge. Car, bus and truck traffic moves more freely and safely when there is less conflicting movement from cross-ing pedestrians and bicyclists. State Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, and state Reps. Tara Mack, R-Ap-ple Valley, and Anna Wills, R-Rosemount, are jointly sponsoring legislation to secure $5 million in state bonding funds to sup-port this project. We thank them for their leadership in championing this project for Apple Val-ley’s people and businesses. Local business owner Dan Sjolseth of Superior Service Center, located right next to the 147th Street transit stop, also understands how important transit ser-vice is to the downtown. Dan graciously

hosted the Minnesota Senate Capital In-vestment Committee in his auto repair shop earlier this year. From that vantage point, the Commit-tee could see and experience the problem and easily visualize the skybridge solu-tion. What a great community partner — thanks Dan! Our growing suburban community must find a way to blend all modes of transportation — cars, buses, bicycles, wheelchairs, pedestrians and more — in a safe and effective way. The installation of a skybridge at the 147th Street transit stop is an important building block to keep our residents safe, our businesses strong and our community connected!

2016. “With any facility you have to invest to keep it operational,” Rosemount Parks and Recreation Di-rector Dan Schultz said. “We want to keep it opera-tional for years to come.” The Rosemount Ice Arena covers most of its operating cost from the revenue it creates. The Rosemount Ice Arena charges $210 per hour of ice time, while the smaller rink at The Pond charges $185 per hour. City-owned rinks in South St. Paul and Blooming-ton charge about $205 an hour. Schultz said the ice are-na revenue is higher than other operations in the city. “People every time they stop on the ice, they pay for that,” Schultz said. That’s unlike the use of fields in the city of Rose-mount, which only need to be reserved and paid for during tournaments. In 2014, there was $389,764 in revenue from ice-time fees, the city’s

learn-to-skate program, advertising and other sources. Of that total, $315,624 was for prime and non-prime time ice fees. In 2014, the city gener-ated $96,092 in combined revenue for fees related to all other sports pro-grams, including softball, tennis, the Run for the Gold, sports camps, tee-ball and other programs. Revenue from the Com-munity Center and Steeple Center in 2014 combined for $91,366. Baseball and softball tournament rev-enue range from $12,000-$20,000 annually, accord-ing to Schultz. The Parks and Recre-ation budget for 2014 was $1.157 million. Schultz said the city could operate a new in-door ice rink cheaper than the current arena, noting that probably one staff person would be needed to run the facility rather than up to four at the current arena. He said staff members feel revenue would offset the majority of operation-al costs. Currently about

75-80 percent of the Rose-mount Ice Arena’s opera-tional costs are offset by its revenues. Kalata said RAHA would gobble up the hours if another rink was opened. Energy costs to run the new rink would be about 25 percent less, according to Schultz. Kalata said that the rea-son the city hasn’t built an ice rink is that an $8 mil-lion capital cost is beyond what could be paid for in the typical budgeting cycle as the lower costs to add baseball, soccer, lacrosse and fields have been done in recent years. The city of Rosemount had expenses of about $2 million to develop the current three soccer-sized fields at Flint Hills Fields and two baseball-sized UMore Fields. Schultz said in-kind donations of land and grading helped offset much of the costs. Schultz said the city is open to in-kind donations as Parks and Recreation facilities are built. He said that would apply for the items included in the bond

referendum, which could reduce the city’s costs. RAHA has pledged $750,000 to offset the ice rink development cost that would be in addition to the association’s current ice-time rental costs paid to the city.

Who benefi ts? Opponents have said that the development of the ice rink benefits only those playing hockey. The rink is open to the public for free skating Wednesday evenings, Sun-day afternoon and other times during the week. There is a time for open figure skating. Monday night is when the learn-to-skate pro-gram runs. Schultz said it is a popular program that could expand to more than one night because of demand. In addition to providing space for skating, the May 17 bond referendum pack-age includes field develop-ment for soccer, lacrosse, softball and baseball along with improvements to Central Park. The bond plan includes

$4.3 million combined to add more fields to the Flint Hills and UMore athletic complexes. Flint Hills would get four soccer-sized fields along with parking, trail and other additional work. UMore Fields would get two more youth baseball-sized fields along with lighting and parking lot improvements. Kalata said that if Rosemount continues to build on its Parks and Recreation facilities, it will continue to draw new resi-dents to Rosemount, espe-cially those with children. Rosemount Area Ath-letic Association President Paul Essler said at a March City Council meeting that one of the association’s top priorities is to ensure there are enough facilities to match participation. “We really need the help,” Essler said, to de-liver on its mission to de-velop better athletes and people. He said getting young people involved in sports has a positive effect on the community, according to several studies.

He said criminology experts say sports partici-pation steers young people away from negative social and criminal activity. “It’s all about the kids,” Kalata said. “You look at other communities and if you don’t have activities to partake in sometimes kids will do things that are negative.” Essler said sports par-ticipation helps provide positive youth mentor-ing, shows young people the value of teamwork, increases self-esteem and creates employment op-portunities. He said the increase in the number of sports sites would allow Rosemount to attract tournaments, which can bring more business to restaurants and hotels. “Let’s keep this mov-ing,” Essler said. “It’s got momentum. We owe it to our kids and our commu-nity.”

Apple Valley man injured in head-on crash; one dead An Apple Valley man was hospitalized May 2 following a head-on colli-sion that claimed the life of another driver on In-terstate 394 in Hennepin County. Carlos R. Floersch, 46, was transported to Hen-nepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with “non-life threaten-ing” injuries, the Minne-sota State Patrol reported. Ronnell E. Ross, 30, of Clarks Grove, Minn., was killed in the crash. According to the State Patrol’s incident report, Ross was driving the wrong way down the in-terstate when the crash occurred. Ross was traveling west in the eastbound lanes of I-394 near Theodore

Wirth Parkway at about 3:30 a.m. May 2 when his Buick Century collided head-on with Floersch’s Toyota 4Runner. Both vehicles were totaled, the report said. Ross and Floersch were the sole occupants of their vehicles. It is unknown if there was alcohol in Ross’s system at the time of the crash, the State Patrol said. No alcohol was de-tected in Floersch’s sys-tem. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts, and the airbags in both vehicles deployed in the collision. The Golden Valley and St. Louis Park police departments assisted the State Patrol at the scene.

Sprinkler contains Burnsville apartment fire The Burnsville Fire Department is crediting an apartment building’s sprinkler system with containing a dumpster fire until firefighters could extinguish it. At around 10 p.m. Sunday, April 24, firefighters responded to a water-flow alarm at the Meridian Pointe apartment complex on the 200 block of McAndrews Road West. Crews found the building partially evacuated and were told a dumpster was on fire in the trash room of the basement garage. The fire was mostly contained by the activation of a single over-

head sprinkler, the department said. Crews extinguished the remain-ing burning debris, shut down the building’s sprinkler system to limit any additional damage and began removing smoke from the building. Fire investigators said the build-ing, which houses more than 200 people and is valued at more than $17 million, sustained virtually no fire damage as a result of the work-ing fire sprinkler system. “A single fire sprinkler head, which cost approximately $20, kept this fire under control until fire-fighters could arrive to extinguish

it,” said Burnsville Assistant Fire Chief Douglas Nelson. Many Burnsville apartment com-plexes were built before sprinkler systems were required by law. The city’s worst apartment fire, on Dec. 22, 2008, destroyed a 64-unit build-ing of the former Burncliff Apart-ments on Parkwood Drive. The fire was caused by an electrical short. The cause of the Meridian Pointe fire is undetermined. Anyone with information is asked to call the Burnsville Fire Department at 952-895-4570.

Two killed in collision at Cliff & Dodd in Eagan Two people were killed last week in a head-on collision after one car drove the wrong way on an Eagan road. Eagan police, fire and paramedics responded to the crash on April 28 at about 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Cliff and Dodd roads in Eagan. A preliminary investigation

revealed that a Ford F-150 pick-up truck driven by Daniel John Schmidt, 53, was traveling the wrong way in the westbound lane when it hit a Chevrolet Equinox. The driver of the Equinox, 51-year-old Monica Oliveros Strout, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Schmidt was transported to Re-

gions Hospital where he died. There were no other occupants in either ve-hicle. It remains unclear why Schmidt was driving the wrong way but pre-liminary investigation suggests alco-hol may have been involved, police said.

Filing is May 17-31 for School Board vacancy The District 196 School Board set a filing period of May 17-31 for district residents inter-ested in seeking election to the seat vacated by Rob Duchscher in March when he moved out of the district. State law requires a special election to fill the remainder of Duch-scher’s term, which runs to January 2020. The next scheduled opportunity is Tuesday, Aug. 9, as part of Minnesota’s statewide primary election. The fil-ing dates approved by the board at its April 18 meeting correspond with an Aug. 9 election, but the board still needs to take action to call the election and set the election date. The two-week filing period will open Tues-day, May 17, at 7:30 a.m. and run through Tuesday, May 31, at 5 p.m. All can-didates must file during this two-week period in order to be placed on the ballot. The School Board is responsible for develop-ing policy to ensure the proper care, management and control of district affairs, and supporting the district’s mission of educating all students to reach their full potential. Any person may be a can-didate for the board who: – is eligible to vote; – would be at least 21 years old upon assuming office; – is a resident of the school district for at least 30 days before the elec-tion; – has not filed as a can-didate for any other office at the upcoming general election; and – is not a sex offender who has been convicted of an offense for which registration is required under Minnesota Statute 243.166. Affidavits of candida-cy will be available May 17-31 during office hours (7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-day through Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on

Tuesday, May 31) in the Superintendent’s Office of Independent School District 196, 3455 153rd Street W., Rosemount. Completed affidavits of candidacy must be filed at the Superintendent’s Office by 5 p.m. May 31, along with a $2 filing fee or a petition with at least 500 signatures of eligible voters in place of the fil-ing fee. Five or more voters may also draft a candidate by filing an application on behalf of the candidate. The candidate must indi-cate his or her willingness to serve by signing the application. The same fil-ing fee requirements and timeline apply. Persons considering running for the board vacancy may call the Su-perintendent’s Office at 651-423-7736 for more in-formation or to schedule an informational meeting.

Business Calendar BBB: Advice on handling door-to-door solicitors Better weather is finally here, and solicitors offer-ing asphalt services and magazine subscriptions – among other products and services – are likely already making the rounds and may well find their way to your doorstep. Better Business Bureau of Min-nesota and North Dakota urges people to stay alert for shady operators and to have a plan in place when it comes to door-to-door solicitors. Though many door-to-door salespeople operate honestly and represent reputable companies, there are others who are look-ing only to make a sale and move on as quickly as possible – leaving custom-ers wondering if they’ll receive the product or ser-vice they’ve paid for or if they’ve just been had. BBB offers the following advice on how to handle door-to-door salespeople: – Inquire about licens-ing. Many cities require door-to-door salespeople to have a peddler or solici-tors license. Ask the sales-person if they’ve checked in with the city and ob-

tained proper licensing. If you’re unsure if your city requires such a permit, call your city offices. – Ask for identification. A reputable seller will provide you with all the information you request, including a photo ID and a business card. – Verify the individual and the company. If you are interested in a prod-uct or service, get every-thing in writing including price, contract duration and all other terms and conditions. Tell the sales-person you will check it out and get back to him or her. Then research the company yourself and contact them directly to verify the salesperson is an employee. Also, be sure to research the company’s BBB Business Review and customer reviews at bbb.org. – Read the contract closely. Make sure you un-derstand all the terms and conditions before signing on the dotted line. – Don’t be pressured. Watch out for high-pres-sure sales tactics and be aware that anything you

sign could construe a con-tract. – Do the math. Paying $30 to $40 per month for magazine subscriptions may not sound like much, but if the contract runs for two years – or lon-ger – charges can add up fast. Make sure you have an idea of what the aver-age subscription costs for any magazine that inter-ests you. Most magazines have detachable postcards inside with some of the lowest rates available. – Know your rights. The Federal Trade Com-mission’s Three-Day Cool-ing-Off Rule gives the cus-tomer three days to cancel purchases over $25 that are made in their home or at a location that is not the seller’s permanent place of business. Along with a receipt, salespeople should also include a com-pleted cancellation form that customers can send to the company to cancel the agreement. By law, the company must give cus-tomers a refund within 10 days of receiving the can-cellation notice. – Stand strong. Be care-

ful about allowing strang-ers into your home. If you do allow a salesperson in-side your home and decide during the presentation that you are not interest-ed in making a purchase, simply ask them to leave. If the salesperson refuses to leave, tell them you will call the police – and follow through if they don’t leave immediately. – Steer clear of asphalt firms that say they have leftover asphalt from an-other job. A classic tactic of less-than-reputable as-phalt firms is to tell con-sumers they have extra asphalt leftover from an-other job and will perform the work for minimal cost. However, professional as-phalt contractors know, with great accuracy, how much paving material is needed to complete a proj-ect. They rarely have left-over material. People who have issues with door-to-door solici-tors can file a complaint with BBB at bbb.org, as well as with their local law enforcement, and state At-torney General’s offices.

“Beware of Flying Objects” warned the headline to this photo published in the June 23, 1966, edition of the Dakota County Tribune. Twenty-year-old Mary “Potsy” Ryan of Farmington reported that she and three others were driving on Highway 3 in a ’65 Chevrolet Malibu when an oncoming semi truck wrought some serious damage. “A 10-pound, red-hot object believed to be a large muffler baffle of some kind, fell off the semi, and crashed through the windshield on the driver’s side,” the newspaper noted. “It hit the driver, Miss Rowan, who managed to keep control of the auto. Then it glanced over and burned Miss Ryan’s leg.” The driver received five stitches on her forehead.

SportsWith Scanlon’s retirement, AVHS loses one of its originals

His soccer, hockey teams

were 11-0 in state title games

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


In one sense, Chuck Scanlon will be the last one out. But he won’t have to turn off the lights be-cause Apple Valley High School will continue oper-ating without him. It just won’t be the same place. When he retires at the end of the school year, it means the school will be without the last teacher who was there when it opened in 1976. It also means the Eagles’ boys soccer program – which has not had another head coach – will be fundamen-tally changed. After 41 years in teach-ing (40 at Apple Valley), 11 state championships (nine in soccer, two in girls hockey) and a state-record 586 victories in boys soc-cer, Scanlon said recently he’s comfortable with the decision to finally step aside. “I’ve done pretty much everything I wanted to do,” he said. “So I think it’s the right time to step back. For a long time I coached three sports a year and my wife (Barba-ra) was great about it. She never complained. But it’s time to do some things she wants to do.” Scanlon, 63, had in-tended to retire a couple

of years ago but was asked to rescind it because the school was having trouble finding someone certified to fill his safety education teaching position. He con-tinued coaching soccer as well, although “I had been taking it a year at a time,” he said. Scanlon’s son Chris, a business teacher at AVHS, is expected to fill the safety education position while continuing to teach some business classes. Other-wise, Chuck Scanlon said, staffing needs probably would have forced Chris –

also Apple Valley’s varsity boys golf coach – to go to another school within Dis-trict 196. “It’s more important for him to be here than me,” Chuck Scanlon said. Chris Scanlon also was expected to be a candi-date for the soccer coach-ing vacancy, which has not yet been filled. If the younger Scanlon is hired as soccer coach, don’t be surprised if the elder Scanlon returns to the Apple Valley sideline in some capacity. Keeping it within the family has been

a tradition; Chris Scanlon is a longtime Apple Val-ley assistant coach, and Chuck’s daughter Jenna also coaches in the Eagles’ boys program. For all his success in soccer and hockey, Chuck Scanlon has been a ver-satile coach and teacher. At various times, he has coached soccer, hockey, baseball, football and golf, and taught physical edu-cation, social studies and safety education. Scanlon was an All-State soccer and hockey goalie at Richfield High School. At the time he went there, Richfield was one of the state’s high school athletic powers. It was considered a model of academic and athletic excellence that, a few years later, a new school open-ing in Apple Valley sought to emulate – to the point of hiring some teachers and coaches who previ-ously worked at Richfield. After graduating from Bemidji State University, where he had been an All-America hockey player, Scanlon taught at Burns-ville High School for one year before becoming part of Apple Valley High School’s inaugural staff in 1976. Two years later, the school started a boys soc-cer program and put Scan-lon in charge, starting an era of unmatched success. By 1983, the Eagles were in the state tournament. In 1984, they won the first of nine state championships.

His teams became known for always pushing forward and pressuring the opponent. It was ad-mired by many and criti-cized by a few who consid-ered the Eagles’ “direct” style to be old-fashioned. But it was effective, and it produced a number of tal-ented players such as Jon Lowery, the 1994 Gato-rade Minnesota player of the year (now head coach of the University of St. Thomas men’s team), 2009 Mr. Soccer award winner Bijan Jabari and 2009 Star Tribune metro player of the year David Rosenthal. New York Giants kick-er Tom Obarski and Buf-falo Sabres forward Hud-son Fasching also played soccer for Scanlon at Ap-ple Valley. Scanlon is one of only two Minnesota high school soccer coaches with 500 or more victories. His total of 586 is likely to be the record for a while because no active coach is within 150 victories of Scanlon. Apple Valley started a ringette program in 1992 and named Scanlon its head coach. Two years later, the team switched to hockey. Apple Valley won the first state cham-pionship sponsored by the Minnesota State High School League in 1995 and added a second title in 1998. Scanlon’s girls hock-ey teams won 217 games before he stepped down as head coach in 2010. “Coaching the girls

was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I got to be on the ground floor,” Scanlon said. “They wanted to do what the boys did, play in the big arena and be on TV. It was great to be the first school to win the state championship. No other state had girls hockey at that time.” One bit of trivia: Scan-lon’s Apple Valley teams never lost a state cham-pionship game. Between boys soccer and girls hock-ey, they were 11-0. But he’s noted in par-ticular for his pregame speeches, which several former players have said had them ready to run through a wall for Scan-lon. He says he learned most of his motivational tactics from Bob Peters, hockey coach at Bemidji State when Scanlon played there, and coaching legend Herb Brooks, who Scan-lon worked with at hockey camps for years. It sounds like the voice won’t be stilled com-pletely. Scanlon said he spends some time in the winter months in Destin, Fla., and already has been asked to help with that community’s youth soc-cer program. He said he would be happy to do that. “My goal all along has been to make a difference in kids’ lives and help them reach their potential,” he said.

All-star football Two Minnesota high school all-

star football games are scheduled for 2016, with one taking place June 25 at St. Cloud State University. That game, the 43rd in the annu-al series, will be the last one played in the summer. Beginning this year, the Minnesota Football Coaches Association will hold the game in early December in US Bank Sta-dium in Minneapolis, which is the reason two all-star games will take place in 2016. Four players from the East Met-ro White subdistrict were chosen to play for the South team in the June 25 game, which showcases top play-ers from the class of 2016. Quarter-back Drew Stewart and wide receiv-er Nick Fossey, both of Lakeville North, were selected. Also chosen were Burnsville offensive lineman Jesse Orak and Eagan offensive lineman Nathan Nguon. Prior Lake head coach Matt Ge-genheimer will be head coach of the South team in the all-star game. Players will assemble at St. John’s University on June 19 for training camp.

McKeag starts comeback with Elite Meet victoryDefending state shot put champion

returning from knee injury

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


A knee injury sustained during the section foot-ball playoffs last fall cast doubt as to whether Ki-eran McKeag would be 100 percent this spring for his state championship de-fense in the shot put – or whether he would be able to compete at all. Last Friday, McKeag made it clear that he has no intention of being a spectator. The Apple Val-ley senior won the shot put at the Hamline Elite Meet at Hamline Univer-sity, only four days after he was cleared to resume throwing. Earlier in the week he threw far enough in the shot and discus in a South Suburban Con-ference meet against Ea-gan to earn entry into the Elite Meet, which brings together the top perform-ers from the first month of the high school track and field season. His winning shot put of 56 feet, 10 inches edged Lakeville South junior Eric Rousemiller by half an inch. Five throwers from the South Suburban Conference placed in the top 11 in the shot at the Elite Meet. McKeag also placed eighth in discus with a throw of 159-6. “I feel pretty good; I’d probably say I’m about 90 percent,” said McKeag, who tore a knee ligament during a football playoff game against Park of Cot-tage Grove on Oct. 20, 2015. “They say it takes a year before you’re fully re-covered, but I feel like I’m just getting warmed up.” McKeag’s winning throw in the 2015 state Class AA meet was 59-8.5. He holds the Apple Valley school record of 62 feet and is aiming for the Min-nesota all-time record of 65-8 by Andover’s Thom-as Anderson in 2012. McKeag said he believes both of those records are in play for him despite his late start to the season. “I’m not making perfect throws but I’m not that far off,” he said. “With some more practice and condi-

tioning, I definitely think I can throw farther.” In addition to Rousemi-ller’s second-place finish, other SSC throwers plac-ing in the shot at the Elite Meet were Rosemount junior Trevor Otterdahl (sixth, 53-2.25), Eagan se-nior Nate Nguon (seventh, 52-9.5) and Burnsville se-nior Andy Samuel (11th, 48-7). Otterdahl placed sec-ond in the discus with a throw of 170-2, more than 13 feet farther than the throw that got him into the Elite Meet. Jake Kubi-atowicz of North St. Paul won the event with 176-0. Apple Valley’s McKeag and Burnsville’s Samuel (156-10) were eighth and ninth. Eastview senior Natalie Manders, the defending state Class AA champion in girls discus, finished third in that event at the Elite Meet with a throw of 146-2. St. Francis junior Amanda Anderson threw 150-0 to win the event. Manders also placed third in the shot put with 42-5.25.

Elite Meet

highlights • Apple Valley senior Amanda Sonnenburg tied for 10th in girls pole vault, clearing 9-10. Isaiah Hall, also a senior, placed eighth in boys long jump with 21-0.75. • Eastview senior Laura Bestul ran the girls 1,600, finishing 13th in 5:14.62.

utive director sought arbitra-tion, through which the CDA says he attempted to recover all of his severance benefits including a lump-sum pay-ment equal to 12 months’ sal-ary ($161,250 in 2015); the full value of accrued benefits, including the value of his ac-crued 1,038.54 flex leave hours; and full employee benefits for 12 months, including the value of additional flex leave hours and employer-share contribu-tions to his insurance benefits and pension. The CDA will contribute $80,507.47 of the settlement amount, which is the monetary value of the 1,038.54 flex leave hours. Chubb will contribute the remaining $34,492.53 — an amount that CDA chairman Mike Slavik said Chubb de-termined it was willing to con-tribute to the settlement, in its discretion. “We do not know the thought process behind Chubb’s contribution or whether it was tied specifically to any of the remuneration that Mr. Ulfers sought,” he told the newspaper this week. The CDA reported that its share would be paid out of its current budget, which had ac-counted for such a contingen-cy. Speaking before the CDA Board in October 2015, Ulfers addressed each of the five alle-gations cited in the termination letter he received in the mail from the CDA Board, calling the allegations preposterous, unproven, based on rumors or secondhand information and having a foundation on sand. He said the process has damaged his health, taken away his livelihood and future employability and been a great embarrassment to his family. “My dismissal was the harshest punishment possible,” he said. “Your allegations that I made unwelcome roman-tic and sexual advances in the

workplace is a profession-kill-ing charge that was not only inaccurate but intended to ruin me personally. A charge that no matter what name-clearing opportunities afforded me, it can never be taken back. The charge will be in people’s minds and perceptions of me forever.” The CDA’s termination let-ter told Ulfers his contract would not be renewed due to allegations that Ulfers made unwanted sexual and romantic advances toward CDA staff, made inappropriate gender- and age-based comments at work and retaliated against CDA staff for participating in workplace investigations re-garding Ulfers, among other allegations. Slavik didn’t comment about the settlement, but said the board and “new CDA Ex-ecutive Director Tony Schertler have a lot of exciting proj-ects coming up this year in-cluding: kicking off strategic planning to map the agency’s future goals and initiatives, welcoming the first residents of Cambrian Commons — a new senior housing commu-nity in Rosemount — breaking ground on Argonne Hills, the CDA’s fourth senior housing community in Lakeville, and continuing to collaborate with Dakota County to maximize resources for affordable hous-ing, community development and economic development.” Ulfers said: “I feel a lot of gratitude to have led the CDA for 29 years. There are many dedicated leaders and staff that made the CDA what it is today. I feel our pioneering accom-plishments in the finance and development of senior citizens housing, first-time homebuy-ers mortgages and workforce housing will continue to ben-efit the public for decades to come.”

properties, and the report de-tailed the scene, including loca-tions of the food truck remains and the debris field. The report stated the installed propane tank was found covered in frost and a “soft audible noise of flowing gas and a smell of propane gas odorant” was heard by an investigator who said he did not touch any knobs or move any debris. Its tank gauge reportedly registered between one-half and

three-quarters full. The report stated the Lake-ville Fire Department respond-ed to a complaint regarding a smell of gas at Richie’s home on Sunday, March 8, 2015. Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer reportedly noticed the gas odor near the food truck remains, and turned off the pro-pane service valve, which took less than one-quarter turn, stop-ping the flow of propane gas. The report also stated a “min-iscule” leak was later found in-side the truck propane system at

the location of the fire suppres-sion control valve (using a liquid soap solution) and engineers be-lieved the leak was caused by the explosion. In a March 7, 2016, follow-up report, McLaughlin said he met with Richie, his attorney, Lakeville police and fire officials in February, found nothing that changed his initial conclusions and declared his investigation closed. Laura Adelmann is at [email protected].

ThisweekendAll about funny business ‘The Producers’ opens May 13 in

Lakeville by Andrew Miller


Fans of Mel Brooks’s style of humor will find plenty to enjoy in the latest show from The Play’s The Thing Productions. The local theater group is set to present the musical version of Brooks’s classic comedy, “The Producers,” May 13-22 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The show follows a Broadway producer and an accountant seeking to profit by staging a flop titled “Springtime for Hit-ler.” “If it’s a flop, they make more money, so they choose a title that they hope will be completely offensive to everyone,” said director and producer Dayna Railton, who founded the Lakeville-based TPTT in 2009. “It’s Mel Brooks at his comic best,” she said of “The Producers.” “It’s so funny, and it’s not done a lot here in Minnesota — you have to have performers who know their comic timing because at times it’s one joke after an-

other.” The show features a cast of about 20 adults and teen-agers, with leading roles played by Matthew Loyd of Burnsville; Max Mayleben, a Farmington High School junior; and Maddie Railton, a 10th-grader at Lakeville South High School. “The Producers” was originally released as a film in 1968 and won the Acad-emy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Brooks adapted the film into a Broadway mu-

sical in 2001, and then adapt-ed the musical version into a film in 2005. Show times for the Lake-ville production are 7:30 p.m. May 13-14 and 20-21, and 2 p.m. May 15 and 22. Tickets are $14 and are available at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCen-ter.com or by calling 952-985-4640. Tickets will also be available at the door prior to performances.

Email Andrew Miller at [email protected].

selections such as “Sweet Home Chicago,” “One Love,” “Footloose,” and “Fascinating Rhythm.” Twin Cities radio and TV personality Stan Turner is set to emcee

the event. Refreshments will be served following the con-cert, and free-will donation will be accepted. For more

information, call 952-432-1081 or visit www.velvettones.org. (Photo submitted)

Student art in Minneapolis exhibit Nora Dixon, a 13-year-old Da-kota Hills Middle School student, participated in this year’s Art In Bloom exhibit at the Minneapo-lis Institute of Art from April 28 to May 1. Art In Bloom exhibits imaginative floral interpretations of selected works of art. Nora said she has enjoyed visit-ing Art In Bloom for many years. She became inspired to get involved during last year’s event while on an MIA docent tour. “I knew I needed to sign up to create my own floral art for this event. It became my dream,” she

said. Artists gathered on Jan. 28 and Nora selected “Basket” from the African section as her artwork. “It was my last choice, but I was excited to participate,” she said. Over spring break Nora worked on her design and created a prac-tice piece. “I’d never done anything like this before. I needed to try it, so I knew my plan would all work,” she said. Nora spoke with visitors about her creation during the “Flowers After Hours” event on Thursday, April 28.
