Finishing what they startedAdult grads overcome

obstacles to earn high school

diploma by Jessica Harper

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At age 17 Dan Pa-checo made a choice he would always regret — he dropped out of high school. His family had moved from Chicago to

Rosemount a year earlier and Pacheco struggled to fit into his new school. He began skipping class-es two weeks after the move and by his senior year, he stopped going all together. When his eldest son started high school last year, Pacheco decided it was time for him to re-turn to school himself, so he enrolled in the Adult Basic Education Alter-native Diploma program in the Rosemount-Apple

Valley-Ea-gan School District. ABE’s Alternative Di-ploma program is avail-able to adults who need fewer than 20 credits to graduate. Students are able to earn a high school

diploma upon comple-tion of the program. “I wanted to set an ex-ample for my kids,” said the 32-year-old father of three boys. On May 26, Pacheco was among 70 adults to earn their high school di-ploma or GED through District 196’s ABE pro-gram. “I want my kids to learn to finish what they started,” Pacheco, a Farmington resident, said. “I want to show

them to stick with it.” Balancing school, work and parenting wasn’t always easy. A few months ago, a num-ber of employees left the restaurant where Pacheco works as a kitchen man-ager, after the business had him working long hours. This made it dif-ficult to regularly attend class. Determined to help him stay on track, his teachers would meet with

Ceremonies honor veterans, others who have died Rosemount VFW, American Legion and Vietnam Veterans of America officers, color guard and rifle squad members along with the Rev. Paul Jarvis of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount and several of the church’s members assembled on Monday at Highland Cemetery in Lakeville to honor those military veterans who have died. After the veterans Memorial Day service in the cemetery, which was formerly the cemetery of St. Joseph, those gathered entered the woods behind the cemetery to consecrate the ground surrounding the graves of unbaptized children and those who likely died of suicide and were buried in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount natives Clint and Luke Birtzer will take the Central Park Amphi-theater stage Saturday, June 27, during the Rosemount Bluegrass Americana Festi-val just a few days removed from having laid down tracks for their first release under their new name, Saw-tooth Brothers. The Rosemount perfor-mance will be just another in a long string of seem-ingly endless activity for the 20-something-year-olds

and their band mates Jesse and Ethan Moravec. Fresh off their college graduations, Clint, Univer-sity of Minnesota (journal-ism), and Luke, Hamline University (digital media arts), will embark on the 10-year-old band’s busiest schedule yet with 40-plus shows and counting. “Now that we’re out of college, we finally have the ability to devote the time we want to the band,” Luke said. “If there ever was a time to make it or break it

District 192 passes new memorial policy

Board plans to review issue

next year by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEK


The Farmington School Board passed a new memorial policy in dealing with the death of a student or staff member during Monday’s meeting after a healthy round of discussion. The policy states that District 192 will not au-thorize public memo-rial activities during the school day or during school-sponsored activi-ties. Additionally, school buildings and grounds will not be used for permanent memorials. The policy recommends that gifts and donations be in the form of scholarships or to the Farmington Area Education Foundation. While the district still plans on supporting students and staff who are grieving a loss, the thought behind the policy is to avoid an ongoing reminder of a traumatic event, which would be un-avoidable when located on school property. Barb Duffrin, director of educational program-ing, said she received a question from board mem-bers prior to the meeting about a student’s right to

Dayton goes back to preschool Governor, legislators visit Apple Valley preschool class

by John GessnerSUN THISWEEK


Asked by their teacher if they knew the guest sitting with them on the floor, preschoolers at Westview Elementary in Apple Valley came up blank. The 68-year-old visi-tor tried to give an assist. “My name starts with an ‘M,’ and it rhymes with ‘shark,’ ” said Gov. Mark Dayton, who also showed the 4-year-olds a photo of his dog, Itasca. For one afternoon, the Connections Preschool class at Westview was ground zero in Minneso-ta’s preschool debate — particularly, whether new state money should be used to make preschool available to all 4-year-olds in public schools or to expand a targeted scholarship program that gives needy families a choice of public or pri-vate preschool. Dayton and his educa-tion commissioner, Bren-da Cassellius, came to Westview on Friday, May 22, to push for universal prekindergarten, their top education initiative in 2015. The visit, attended by local legislators from both parties, was part of the run-up to a special legislative session. The Legislature is going into extra innings following Dayton’s veto of some spending bills, including a $17 billion E-12 educa-tion package that didn’t include universal pre-school. Dayton, who came to Westview promoting a $173 million proposal to provide voluntary, half-day preschool for all 4-year-olds, lowered his demands at a news con-ference the following day. As part of a proposed deal with lawmakers, he’s now proposing $100 mil-lion to make preschool available to districts that want it. Districts would have to apply. But the discussion at Westview focused largely on the universal pre-school concept Dayton has championed all year. “If nothing else the conversation is out there, how important early learning is,” said Jane Berenz, superintendent of Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Dis-

trict 196. The governor’s office pointed to a recent sur-vey of District 196 resi-dents in which 81 percent of respondents said pre-school is essential or very important for later school success. Berenz, joining Day-ton for the classroom visit and a roundtable discussion afterward, said preschool expansion would build on “phenom-enal” results the district has gotten with all-day kindergarten. Berenz said 16 percent of District 196 4-year-olds attend Connections Preschool, which is of-fered at seven elementary buildings and Dakota Valley Learning Center. More need it in a district with a 23 percent student poverty rate, she said. Some schools lack space for preschool, but Berenz said that hasn’t stopped the district from expanding the program where it can. “We’ve figured it out, and we’ll continue to fig-ure it out,” she said. The district is also considering a fall bond referendum for a variety of building and technology projects. The district would “have to build more” to handle universal pre-school, which it couldn’t adopt in a single year with its current space, Berenz said. Finding space for uni-versal preschool is harder for outstate schools, said District 57B state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley. She defended the House-Senate bill Day-ton vetoed, saying it pro-

vides $30 million in new scholarship money and $30 million for expand-ing Minnesota’s School Readiness program. Wills said she’s heard from constituents who “want to target dollars to the kids who need it most.” District 57A Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, asked Berenz if she’d rather see new state edu-cation funding attached to specific programs or put into general funding. “We do need both if we’re going to change the trajectory of this achieve-ment gap,” Berenz said. Whether universal or tar-geted, preschool needs to reach as many students as possible, she said. The average house-hold income in Minne-sota is $58,000, which prices many families out of the state’s preschool scholarships and the fed-eral Head Start program, Cassellius said. District 51 Sen. Jim Carlson, DFL-Eagan,

said: “I can’t go into a room like that and tell a young person like that, ‘Which would you rath-er have: your school or something you’re going to go into in a few years?’ ” Westview’s program, taught by Becca Batchel-der and Janet Callahan, has 20 students — seven with special education plans and three with “high needs,” said Calla-han, an early childhood special education teacher. The program is good preparation for kinder-garten, and not just aca-demically, she said. “They don’t have to relearn the school in Sep-tember,” Callahan said. “They don’t have to re-figure out the bus. They know what’s expected of them.”

Farmington mom creates website to help connect autistic students with college

Database helps users find autistic-friendly

postsecondary options by Andy Rogers


Like every mother, Farmington’s Dawn Marcotte just wants the best for her children. During her efforts, she found a wealth of information that could help many. Marcotte created a website that went live this month for autistic stu-dents and their families to help them choose the right college or universi-ty. “They’re certainly intelligent enough, but they tend to have ex-ecutive functioning difficulties,” Marcotte said. “The autistic help out there is focused on children, but children grow up. People don’t seem to focus on that part.” So she created www.ASD-DR.com, a nationwide website designed for students who are capable of go-ing to college but may need some help finding one and succeeding while there. Autistic students often need ex-tra support because they may have trouble with general life skills and socializing. “Every kid is different,” Mar-cotte said. “They tend to mature a bit slower.” But like many students, they want to go to college. Marcotte feels that it’s important high-functioning autistic students have that option. “I really believe college is a must, particularly with anyone with spe-cial needs, because the unemploy-

ment for people with special needs is something like 80 to 90 percent,” Marcotte said. Marcotte gathered the informa-tion using her own experience. When Marcotte’s daughter, who has a high-functioning form of au-tism, began receiving brochures for college, the two became a bit over-whelmed. “The idea of going to college, throwing her to the wolves, was scary,” Marcotte said. Marcotte’s daughter, who attends Farmington High School, has an individualized education program that accommodates her through school, but colleges don’t have that option. Her worrying intensified. She said different parents are go-ing to worry about different things. “My thing I kept freaking out about is taking notes in class be-cause my student couldn’t take notes,” Marcotte said. “Now she types out the notes on an iPad. It’s great.” She didn’t know if that support would be there in college and found it hard to find out exactly what she was looking for on the Internet. Her researched turned up a list of about 300 colleges throughout the country that provide support for students with autism. There are three categories. Some colleges may offer more academic support and counseling. Other col-leges may go through a third party. Some don’t offer anything but tend

to be more friendly toward autistic students than others. Marcotte’s daughter has nar-rowed her college choices down to about four, all within the Twin Cit-ies area. Marcotte knew she wouldn’t be the only family with this issue, so she decided to share her findings on www.ASD-DR.com. “It expands the horizons for a lot of kids who may not have other-wise gone to college,” Marcotte said. “They may not have all the skills to successfully complete college with-out a little extra experience.” The website also includes articles to help students prepare for college. “High school mostly focuses on academics but not life skills,” Mar-cotte said. “(The articles) may be about how to do laundry, not that kids without autism know how to do laundry. But, how to go to the grocery store. What to focus on for sophomore year, junior year. Look-ing for scholarships. It can be over-whelming for everybody, but it’s spe-cifically hard for kids with autism.” Marcotte hopes to add other fea-tures soon such as scholarship in-formation. She plans on contacting current college students with autism and surveying them about their ex-periences for future articles. She also hopes to update the websites appearance and continu-ally update the database. “I’m not a programmer,” she said. “The next step, I’d like to hire a programmer to make it pretty. Right now I’m trying to get some feedback from people who would use it. “

Anger thanks the Red Pine community To the editor: For 13 years I have had the great honor of serv-ing as the principal of Red Pine Elementary School and as I bid farewell I would be remiss by not thanking everyone in Ea-gan, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount and Coates for everything they have done to make Red Pine what it is today. I do not use the word “honor” lightly in my opening sentence because I have poured my heart and soul into my role as principal and people have reciprocated by forging partnerships, volunteer-ing on behalf of children,

making donations and do-ing everything they could to help us help children. Red Pine was named “Best School” in the most recent Sun Thisweek Readers Choice Awards, and recognition such as this is gained through a collaborative effort of which we should all be proud. Most importantly, ev-ery student who has ever attended Red Pine should take part ownership of this kind of recognition because it is students that make schools great. I can never repay all of you for what you have given to me over the past 13 years but I can assure you that what you have all taught me will continue to drive me in my future roles in education. I have

simply loved every day of my journey at Red Pine. A couple days ago I ran into a former Red Pine student who is now in college who said to me, “Mr. Anger, I really loved having you as my principal.” That is all the thanks I need.

Violence in Society: There’s no room for the bully

Seventy years later, solider’s honor finally recognized

The issue of bullying should be sim-ple: Don’t do it — and if you see it, re-port it. A 180-pound eighth-grade boy shouldn’t beat up a 99-pound sixth-grad-er and steal his lunch money. It’s wrong. Don’t do it. However, that seemingly universal premise of right and wrong has morphed into an emotional debate that encom-passes gay rights, religious autonomy and violence in society. Bullying is wrong, everyone seems to agree, but attempting to define improper behavior has proven difficult. What is bullying? Bullying hurts. Bul-lies injure others. In worst-case scenarios, teenagers are driven to suicide, or a vic-timized youth retaliates to repeated ha-rassment and brings a loaded gun into a grocery store or movie theater. In a 116-page report, the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services developed a standard definition for bullying among youth: “Bullying is any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youths … that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance and is repeat-

ed multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying may inflict harm or distress on the targeted youth including physical, psychological, social or educa-tional harm.” In 2014, the Minnesota Legislature defined bullying in the Minnesota Safe and Supportive Schools Act: “Bullying” means “intimidating, threatening, abu-sive or harming conduct that is objec-tively offensive.” We are pleased that the Minnesota Legislature did not make changes to the law this session. We also made that recommendation a year ago in an ECM Editorial Board editorial. We said then, “To some people, name calling, anti-social behavior, belittling and excluding are unavoidable human failings that no law can eradicate wheth-er between adults or children. To others, hurting someone to the point of hurting their concept of self to the detriment of their learning or hindering their safety to the point of their endangerment is simply wrong and has no place in our schools. The Minnesota Safe and Sup-

portive Schools Act is now law. It is an opportunity that can work for the benefit of our children. Give the law a chance to work.” We reaffirm that position today. Our Minnesota law is working, and the law has posed few problems. By stopping the bully at school, at the playground or along our street, we make the world a bit safer by removing a trigger of violence. We diffuse the time bomb that festers as a bullied person (or the bully himself) moves into adulthood, teaching him cop-ing skills and to trust that those in au-thority will help when needed. Nothing in anti-bullying discussion infringes on freedom of speech or faith, which some had feared during last year’s legislative debate. An open discussion of race relations, a debate over what the po-lice did wrong or did right in Ferguson or Baltimore, or stating your opinion on the upcoming Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage should be encour-aged. Those are not acts of bullying. Students need to feel free to debate and disagree over 21st century social topics, whether those regard race, GLBT issues or any number of societal concerns. However, a group of white teenagers

that harass and agitate a black classmate is not to be tolerated. We must not allow a transgender teen to be verbally humili-ated. Teenage girls who “cyber-bully” someone because of her appearance need to be stopped. Anyone insulted or demeaned for a learning disability or physical handicap needs assurance and intervention by authorities. Why do these premises of right and wrong belong in an editorial series on violence in our soci-ety? Simple. Bullying – the repeated mental, emo-tional or physical abuse of another per-son – is a precursor to many types of vio-lence. Curb the hate talk, set standards of ci-vility and help break the cycle of cruelty we see too often. Stop the bully today – help contain the violence in adulthood.

Through service and sacrifice our vet-erans have long safeguarded the prom-ise of liberty on which our country was founded. On Saturday, June 6, we honor those members of the “greatest genera-tion” who fought for our freedom on the beaches of Normandy – D-Day. One of my highlights in Congress is to meet with our service members and veterans, thank them for their service, and work alongside them to ensure they receive the recognition and the benefits they deserve. Last month, I was proud to secure and present a Legion of Merit for Cannon Falls resident Arnold Hjerms-tad, who had been waiting more than 70 years, since the end of World War II, to be awarded this honor he earned. Hjermstad, 96, served in the U.S. Army during World War II in North Af-rica and Europe, and after his service – in January 1944 – was nominated to receive the Legion of Merit for his innovation and ingenuity.

The Legion of Merit is a military award given “for exceptionally meritorious ser-vice.” Hjermstad earned this award after developing a new way to get mail from the front lines back home after the previ-ously used mail system became unavail-able. However, after bureaucratic delays he never received the medal. Arnold went on with his life, which included owning the local Gambles store in 1959 that is still in business today in Cannon Falls as the Hjermstad Trustworthy Hardware Store. While Arnold, like many veterans, did not actively seek this recognition, his three sons had been trying to secure the Legion of Merit award for their fa-

ther since the 1970s – when they first contacted then-Sen. Hubert Humphrey’s office – but they continued to run into delays and obstacles. Last year, when the French government notified the sons that their father was being awarded the French Legion of Honor, they ultimately contacted my office in Burnsville to let us know about their father’s story. Natural-ly, when I learned about their agonizing decades-long journey trying to navigate the federal government bureaucracy, I wanted to help. It was the least I could do for Arnold, a member of the “greatest generation.” In addition to recognizing the 71st anniversary of D-Day, we recently ob-served Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day, and May was Military Appreciation Month. The days and months of recog-nizing and appreciating our military are many and it can be easy to lose sight of their purpose. I pray we do not. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan stood at Point de Hoc, Normandy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the day Allied forces invaded Nazi-occupied

France. He offered members from the “greatest generation” who gathered there that day meaningful, memorable words that still serve as inspiration for us all. “Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for… Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their valor, and borne by their memo-ry, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died.” As May comes to an end – a month spent recognizing, revering, and remem-bering – and we now remember D-Day, I reflect on the incredible privilege I had to have stood with my fellow Minneso-tans to present Arnold his long-overdue award and, in doing so, honoring our fallen and their families, and the ideals for which they lived and died.

represent 5 percent of U.S. air pollution. According to the EPA, a new gas-powered lawn mower produces volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide emissions in one hour of operation as 11 new cars each being driven for one hour. And then there is noise pollution. If lakes can have rules against motor-ized boats, then neighbor-hoods should have rules against motorized lawn equipment. There are lawn mowers, weed wack-ers and don’t even get me started on leaf blowers. Leaf blowers are to neigh-borhoods as jet skis are to lakes. So, don’t put your lawn clippings in the street which goes into the storm drain untreated and to the nearest stream, pond or lake. This simply kills the fish and frogs. And, think twice before you buy mo-torized lawn equipment.

Arteries of commerce To the editor: Last January when law-makers were asked about priorities in the Legisla-ture with mixed leader-ship, DFL leaders talked about a need to reach across the aisle, and Re-publican spokespersons talked about infrastruc-ture: roads and bridges and the need to repair these essential elements. Four months later, it looks as though each side has accomplished few of their goals. There are com-plaints that the governor was stubborn in insisting on some of his priorities: universal early education and new funding for trans-portation infrastructure despite a likely surplus. Others complain that new, permanent tax breaks for wealthy corporations and individuals were not need-ed. During a special ses-sion it seems the two main parties might continue to look at goals of compro-mise and cooperation. Too

often it seems the demand side of the economy, that is, greater attention on more discretionary in-come for the lower 80 per-cent of wage earners, gets overlooked. Higher per-centages of income paid in taxes by those with lower income is still the case, ac-cording to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. If infrastructure improve-ment is still a major goal for state government, it seems a greater attention is needed, and a cooperative hand for the future of our state. PAUL HOFFINGEREagan

him after class to help him catch up. “I really like that the program was so flexible with me,” he said. Motivated by his children, Pa-checo said he was determined to finish this time despite any obsta-cles. “My kids were proud I was go-ing back to school. They are the main reason I stuck with it,” he said. Now Pacheco hopes to contin-ue his education by taking online college classes in business man-agement.

Like Pacheco, Rachel Haines of Apple Valley, was struggling with family issues and fitting in when she began contemplating dropping out of high school. She failed a number of classes this past school year and by March, Haines, 19, realized she wouldn’t have enough credits to graduate in June from the School of Environ-mental Studies in Apple Valley. Rather than quit school, she decided to finish high school through the alternative diploma program. Haines said she found that it was easier for her to relate to oth-er students at the alternative pro-

gram than those at her previous school. “Everyone worked together and pushed one another to graduate,” she said. “I don’t think I would have graduated so soon without the program.” Her next goal is to attend a lo-cal community college to take her general credit courses and possi-bly transfer to a university after that.

ADULT, from 1A

District 196 graduating class shrinks Many students graduated last year to stay ahead of changes in standards

The class of 2015 will be gradu-ating this week in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District but fewer students will receive a di-ploma or GED through the Adult Basic Education program this year than last year. About 70 students will graduate from the program on May 26, which is the smallest class in the past three years. The decline is largely due to changes in the General Education Development (GED) diploma pro-gram, said Lisa Beytien-Carlson,

community education communica-tions coordinator. In 2014, GED tests were aligned to a new, more rigorous set of stan-dards in English language arts and math that were passed by the Min-nesota Legislature the year before. The changes were implemented during the 2014-15 school year. The new standards also eliminated the paper form of the GED tests, mak-ing the test available only online. Many students who would typi-cally graduate this year, pushed

to graduate early last year to stay ahead of the changes, Beytien-Carlson said. As a result, the district’s Adult Basic Education program saw its largest graduating class with 127 students in May 2014. Beytien-Carlson said she believes the program’s graduating classes will return to normal levels in the coming years as students adapt to the changes.

Members of Knights of Columbus Council 2400 of Farmington attended a special ceremony at the St. Paul Sem-inary School of Divinity May 17, dur-ing which they presented a check for $1,000 to seminarians who are in need of financial support. The check presentation was preced-ed by a Mass with the seminarians and Rev. Msgr. Aloysius Callaghan, rector/vice-president of the seminary located on the campus at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. For over a decade, the Farmington Knights of Columbus council has do-nated more than $10,000 to seminar-ians from proceeds raised from its annual spaghetti bingo event as well as an ongoing “Pennies for Seminar-ians” jar prominently placed at every general meeting. The project reflects the council’s efforts to support the vi-sion of the order’s founder, the Rev. Michael McGivney. The founding of the Knights of Columbus was an ex-pression of McGivney’s vocation as an “Alter Christus” – another Christ. He wanted to help Catholic men draw closer to Jesus and Mary. His frater-nal order was to be an instrument for spiritual growth in Christian faith and charity. “The members of the Farmington

Knights of Columbus are proud to support the seminarians as they jour-ney towards their calling,” said Farm-ington Grand Knight David Welch. “We are very happy to present this check to assist them on their path.”

SUMMER CAMP

express grief. “Our practice has been if there’s a student death, we deploy our trauma response team,” Duffrin said. “We get those stu-dents into a safe room where we help students process.” She said students may write letters or create art-work. Instead of putting the artwork on a locker, the counselors have the students do it together with those affected. There was also the con-cern of secondary trauma where a student would have a constant reminder of the death. There is also the consideration for students who are dealing with their own emotional issues, such as depression, and may not know the de-ceased. “I think in the end, we need to look out for the little guy and have this policy in place and have all students be treated fair-ly,” Board Member Jake Cordes said. Duffrin said the policy creates consistency across the district and alleviates the possibility of an un-equal memorials. “The biggest thing in my mind is not wanting to miss a kid. ... I love the idea of having a safe room and not having this crazi-ness happen in a hallway at school,” Board Member Tera Lee said. “I like the idea that there’s still an outlet and trained profes-sionals are helping them. ... You have to do what you think is best, and this lands as close as you can.” Board Member Melissa

Sauser asked why the dis-trict couldn’t go on a case-by-case basis. Duffrin said the coun-selors and administration are looking for a common practice across the district. She said when a family is in crisis, it’s not the best time to come up with a plan, especially if it’s dif-ferent from building to building. Board Member Laura Beem said she struggled with the policy and ques-tioned who they were pro-tecting. “It’s better to deal with the grief and be exposed it,” Beem said. She said her daughter told her if she didn’t know the student well enough, she may not feel comfort-able going to a safe room, but she would still like to do something to memori-alize the student. Student School Board Member Kaitlin Edwards said she thought it would be a good idea to get opin-ions from students. Ed-wards felt that from the input she received, many students didn’t see it the same way as the board, but perhaps they weren’t looking at the policy from all aspects. The board asked to review the policy after a year, which is shorter than the average two- to three-year turnaround. They en-couraged staff to discuss the policy with students. However, the policy may not be that controver-sial. Board Chair Julie Singewald said, in seven years, the board has not had anyone come to the board with a concern with

the lack of memorial or how the district has han-dled a student death, nor has the board received any public opinion since the policy was first read. The district has essen-tially been operating un-der these guidelines for the past seven years, according to Dodge Middle School counselor Jen Hogan, who answered questions from the School Board on May 11. The policy will guide decisions moving forward and will not have any im-pact to previous memori-als.

Zero tolerance

gone The School Board also approved an updated school weapons policy to allow for some more dis-cretion. Instead of using the language “zero tolerance,” the policy now states the school district “does not allow” the possession, use or distribution of weapons by students.

Blue Jean Ball Cordes reported that the Farmington Area Ed-ucation Foundation’s Blue Jean Ball raised $2,100 in its first year. The ball was held May 16 at the Dakota County Fairgrounds. The money raised will be distributed as grants for items such as curriculum and technology as well as scholarships. He said the foundation plans on holding another ball next year.

Farmington KC Council donates to seminarians


This is the second year ArtBlast will include the Bluegrass Americana Festival, which also has a Square Dance on Friday, June 26. The lineup for the show on Saturday, June 27, in-cludes Long Time Gone at 4 p.m., Blue Hazard 5 p.m., No Man’s String Band 6 p.m., Switched At Birth 7 p.m. and Sawtooth Brothers 8 p.m. The festival will have a decidedly youthful look to it as three of five bands slated to play – Sawtooth Brothers, Blue Hazard and No Man’s String Band – have members in their 20s. Here are capsule de-scriptions of each band.

Long Time Gone A regular jam session that started in 2000 led to the formation of Long Time Gone. “We’ve always valued being good friends,” gui-tarist Ben Manning said. “We hope that enjoyment and ‘comfort zone’ of the band comes through in the music we make together.” The band covers a wide range of bluegrass eras, from the 1920s, the ‘50s and their own composi-tions of today. Listeners will likely hear double fiddle tunes, a touch of Celtic, hard-driv-ing banjo instrumentals and quite a bit of instru-ment swapping. “It’s not just about playing the fastest tunes or the most intricate ar-rangements, it’s also about having fun,” Manning said.

In addition to Man-ning, the group includes Katryn Conlin, string bass; Barry St. Mane, banjo; Leo Rosenstein, mandolin, and Mike Hil-debrandt, fiddle. More is at http://www.longtimegoneband.com.

Blue Hazard Twin Cities-based Blue Hazard formed after brothers Luke and Dale Gruber with sister Han-nah (Gruber) Johnson had played in a family band and decided to strike out on their own. The three, on mando-lin, fiddle and guitar, re-spectively, are joined by bassist Clara Wicklund and banjo player Uriah Nibbe as they aim to en-tertain with contemporary original and traditional bluegrass music. From 2000-2008 the band won several tal-ent shows, recorded their first two CDs, “The Old Home Place” and “All I Know,” and performed on the main stage at the Min-nesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association Festival. The current line-up released “This World of Mine” in late 2012. The musicians, who are all in their 20s, pay hom-age to a range of musical influences, including old-time bluegrass players, Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch and the Beatles. More is at http://www.bluehazardband.com.

No Man’s String

Band No Man’s String Band

is another group that brings a youthful exuber-ance to the festival. The musicians, also in their 20s, say they are in-fluenced by the classics and inspired by the mod-ern. In 2013, the band re-leased their its album “Let The Truth Be Told,” which has enjoyed regular air-play on the 88.5 FM Blue-grass Saturday Morning. In 2014-15 the band was awarded First Run-

ner-Up in the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association Race For a Place band contest. The band is composed of guitar player Justin Rosckes, accordionist Me-lissa Hentges, mandolinist Nic Hentges, fiddler Lind-sey Bordner and bassist Pat Loftus. More is at www.nmsb-music.com.

Sawtooth

Brothers Dazzling audiences with precision picking and sharp harmonies devel-oped over eight years of playing, performing and

growing up together as the Sawtooth Bluegrass Band, the group aims to carve out a new niche as Sawtooth Brothers. The sound of Saw-tooth Brothers is rooted in traditional bluegrass in-strumental and harmony work and is influenced by the modern acoustic sounds of Nickel Creek, the Punch Brothers, and the Steep Canyon Rang-ers. Further influence in-cludes Frank Sinatra, Eric Church, The Who and The 1975. During a live perfor-mance by the Sawtooth Brothers, audiences can expect creative original songs, hard-driving blue-grass, classic country, gos-pel and classic rock.

New Denny’s in Burnsville A California franchisee

that currently owns and operates five Twin Cit-ies Denny’s restaurants has acquired the former Hurricane Grill & Wings restaurant in Burnsville. Located at 12950 Aldrich Ave. S., the 5,230-square-foot retail building will be remodeled in alignment with the Denny’s national branding. The new Den-ny’s is slated to open in the fall of 2015. Tom Baker and Jeff Wilwerding of the Eagan-based office of KW Com-mercial Midwest repre-sented the buyers. Nick Leviton of Colliers Inter-national represented the sellers. Financial details of the sale were not dis-closed.

RE/MAX Results ride RE/MAX Results has partnered with Charity Events of Minnesota for the eighth annual Breast Cancer Ride, a one-day bicycle ride to raise money to support the fight against breast cancer. The ride will take place Saturday, Aug. 8, and will start and end at the Eagan Community Center. Participants will be asked to raise a minimum of $350 in donations and will be able to choose from six different beneficiaries: Open Arms of Minnesota, The Firefly Sisterhood, Breast Cancer Education Association, Angel Foun-dation, Masonic Cancer

Center at the University of Minnesota, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Min-nesota. The ride has multiple course lengths to choose from ranging from 12 to 65 miles. Riders may choose individual routes or combine routes to com-plete their desired dis-tance. The ride is open to all; those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is also registered for the ride. Vol-unteer opportunities are also available. To sign up for the Breast Cancer Ride as a rider, volunteer, or to make a donation, visit www.BreastCancerRide.org.

AVHS senior looks ahead to West Point

Jennifer Suter begins cadet basic training in June by Andrew Miller


Taking on challenges is nothing new for Jennifer Suter. The Apple Valley High School senior has logged nine seasons as a football player, lettering twice with her high school team in the male-dominat-ed sport. She’ll be taking on a different sort of chal-lenge after graduation in June when she heads to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Suter received a nomina-tion to the prestigious mil-itary academy from U.S. Rep. John Kline. “I am looking forward to the new opportunities and experiences,” she said. “From the first day to the last West Point pushes each cadet to be their best.” Suter has been ac-tive in a variety of roles at Apple Valley High School — band, speech and debate, math team, student council and track team — and has notched an impressive 3.8 GPA. Her experience in the football program provided

some of her best memo-ries. “I’ve played football, on the boys team, ever since I was in fourth grade, and the transition to high school was a hard transi-tion, especially since all the guys had grown a lot,” she said. “Having to constantly prove that I deserved to be on the team was a chal-lenge, but I loved every single moment. By our senior year, the football team became my family.” Suter will report to West Point on June 29 for six and a half weeks of ca-det basic training, before

starting academic classes in August. Her preparations for basic training have already begun. “I run track in the spring, so I have been do-ing workouts and long runs with the team,” she said. “I try to do pull-ups every day and lift often. “But it’s also mental, so telling myself that I will be able to push through and overcome any obstacle that gets thrown at me is also part of the challenge.”

Uponor begins $18 million expansion Apple Valley-based Uponor North America held a groundbreaking ceremony May 21 to mark the company’s latest expansion project. The $18 million project will add a new manufacturing facility, adjacent to the Apple Valley headquarters, along with equipment for producing the company’s PEX piping used in plumbing, radiant heating/cooling and fire safety systems. The new facility, which officials say will provide more than 100 jobs to the area over the next few years, is expected to be complete by the end of 2015. Pictured at the ceremony are, from left: Apple Valley City Administrator Tom Lawell, state Rep. Anna Wills, Apple Valley Chamber President Ed Kearney, Uponor North America President Bill Gray, Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, City Council members Ruth Grendahl, Clint Hooppaw and John Bergman, and state Sen. Greg Clausen. (Photo submitted)

as musicians, it’s right out of college. And we’re going all in.” In addition to the shows, the band was working with producer Dan Duerloo at the end of May recording songs for the Sawtooth Brothers’ debut album. The band has four releases under their previous incarnation as Sawtooth Bluegrass Band. As their sound has involved, they have bor-rowed influences from traditional and con-temporary bluegrass, classic country and even a dash of ‘70s-era rock. “We sit very close to the release of our album, and we are all very excited with how it’s sounding,” Luke said. “(Duerloo) has helped us work our new material to be its best, and his engineering expertise is re-ally shining through.” The brothers know carving out a liv-ing as musicians won’t be easy. They have been building a fan base over the past 10 years by offering up tight musicianship, a classic feel that honors bluegrass past and present, and touches of humor that crowds seem to enjoy. “It’s definitely a difficult time to be a musician,” Luke said. “It’s a time when people will spend $4 on 10 minutes worth of coffee, but they won’t spend $1 on a song that you can enjoy for a lifetime. There are a lot of bands out there, so it can be hard to cut through unless you have strong sup-port from fans.” Fans recently showed their support by exceeding the goal of a Kickstarter cam-

paign for $12,000 to help fund the work that went into making the new record. A release date is forthcoming. Recognition has also come in the form of awards. Guitarist Clint Birtzer is the 2009, 2011, and 2013 Minnesota Flatpick-ing Guitar Champion, as well as the 2015 SPBGMA Midwest Guitar Performer of the Year and 2015 SPBGMA National Guitar Performer of the Year nominee. He and Jesse Moravec were winners of the 2011 Minnesota Duet Championship. Fiddle player Luke Birtzer was winner of the 2010 Bluegrass Idol competition. While the band members are working hard to refine their skills, they are excited about the future. “Everyone in the group is really pas-sionate about music, and we’ve been play-ing together for nearly 10 years,” Luke said. “The chance to write and perform songs with a group that has such a strong musical rapport is exhilarating.” As for playing in Rosemount, which they have done for each of the six years of the Bluegrass Americana Festival, the brothers know there’s no place like home. “It’s always great coming back to Rose-mount and seeing so many familiar faces,” Luke said. “We always feel such strong support from Rosemount, and that makes the Bluegrass Americana Weekend a high-light of our summer.”

MVTA conducts potential rider survey The Minnesota Valley Transit Au-thority (MVTA) has contracted with Morris Leatherman to conduct a poten-tial rider telephone survey of residents in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Prior Lake, Rosemount, Savage and Shakopee. Residents in collar-cities such as Farm-ington, Inver Grove Heights, Elko New Market, Lakeville, Empire Township, Jordan, New Prague and Hastings will also be contacted. The survey will begin May 26. Area residents are encouraged to an-swer their telephones if they see a call from Morris-Leatherman. Calls will be made to cellphones as well as land-lines and surveyors will arrange an alternate

time to speak with residents, as needed. The survey is expected to be completed by the end of June, with results available in August. “The purpose of the survey,” said MVTA Executive Director Beverley Miller, “is to learn about what barriers exist that prevent residents from using transit and what incentives we might consider that would encourage transit use.” The data collected will be statisti-cally significant within 95 percent accu-racy. MVTA is the public transportation provider for the businesses and residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Prior Lake, Rosemount, Savage and Shakopee.

ThisweekendThisweekendDancing to ‘Doctor Who’

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


The science-fiction wonders of “Doctor Who” are coming to the stage in Apple Valley next month, time-traveling spaceship and all. Actors, dancers and musicians from Heartbeat Performing Arts Center are set to present adapta-tions of three episodes from the long-running British television series — “Dinosaurs on a Space-ship,” “Shakespeare Code” and “Closing Time” — June 13-14 at Eastview High School. Heartbeat’s directors, Deborah Lysholm and Kristin Freya, received special permission from the BBC to present the ad-aptations. “Doctor Who” has been airing on British tele-

vision since 1963. Over the years, 12 actors have head-lined the show as the Doc-tor, a humanoid alien who travels the universe and combats a variety of foes in order to help people in need. Students at Heartbeat have been preparing for the performances since January. The time-travel focus of TV’s “Dr. Who” presented Heartbeat with the opportunity to utilize a wide variety of music, choreography, costuming and backdrops, Lysholm said. Duane Tougas, a Min-neapolis puppet maker, constructed a nearly life-size triceratops for the production that is oper-ated by four dancers. And Lysholm’s broth-er, Butch Lysholm, built a replica of Dr. Who’s time-travel machine, the

TARDIS, which resembles a 1960s British police call box. The performance schedule will see Heart-beat’s younger students presenting the episode “Dinosaurs on a Space-ship” at 1 p.m. both days, June 13-14. Heartbeat’s teen and adult students will present double-feature episodes, “Shakespeare Code” and “Closing Time,” at 6:30 p.m. both days. Tickets are available in advance by calling 952-432-7833, and at the East-view theater’s ticket booth one hour prior to each performance. More about Heartbeat is at www.heartbeat-stu-dios.com.

It’s all about the beer for brewpub partners Bar, restaurant and microbrewery will open in Burnsville

by John GessnerSUN THISWEEK


M.P. Singh didn’t set out to open Burnsville’s first brewpub. He wanted only to perfect the home brew-ing of his beloved India pale ale. But that quest, and some well-positioned ac-quaintances, drew him into a venture that will bring a groundbreaking drinking and dining experience to town. Singh and his partners, Diljit Singh and Balbir Singh, plan to open the Nutmeg brewpub in Sep-tember. The building is under construction next to the India Palace restaurant at the southwest corner of county roads 42 and 5. Diljit Singh and chef Bal-bir Singh are partners in India Palace, which has four Twin Cities locations. They’re also clients of M.P. Singh’s Minneapolis accounting firm. The part-ners are bringing in a brew-master, David Jones, whom M.P. Singh met online and in person through their shared passion for India pale ale. “I was not interested in a brewpub,” said Singh, a married father of two who lives in Apple Valley. “I was just simply interested in beer. I’m a CPA; I have my own world. But I enjoy the beer, so I started exploring more about IPAs — where you get the best ones and how you brew at home.” India Palace and Nut-meg may appear to be com-panion businesses, but the India Palace partners, who

expanded the restaurant this year, abandoned plans to put a microbrewery and bar in that space. Nutmeg and India Pal-ace share a property land-lord, Bidhipur Properties, but the businesses will be separate, Singh said. While India Palace serves native Indian cuisine, Nutmeg will conjure up the nation’s co-lonial past. IPA was invented by the British, who loaded the beer with hops so it could make the long sea voy-age from England to India without spoiling, Singh ex-plained. The result is an ar-omatic, bitter brew and, for some drinkers, an enduring passion. “It’s very hoppy, not ev-erybody likes it, but once you get to that level, you probably cannot appreciate

any other beer. That hap-pens to a lot of people,” said Singh, who, like his partners, hails from the In-dian state of Punjab, where their surname is common. He met David Jones, an engineer by trade who was living in Maryland, through their IPA explora-tions. Jones was research-ing companion foods for IPA. A master brewer now living in Minneapolis, he will run Nutmeg’s micro-brewery and eventually be brought into the partner-ship, Singh said. “Over the last year we’ve met at least four times” with Jones to sample his batches, Singh said. “He’ll bring his four or five beer types and he brings the kegs in. And we have a group of friends at a beer-tasting.” Balbir Singh will be the chef, focusing on a fusion of styles the British en-joyed with their IPA in the former colonies, including India, Australia and South Africa, Singh said. Expect fish and chicken dishes rubbed with dry herbs and cooked in clay ovens to burn off the fat, leaving “lean, flavorful meat,” Singh said. “We say, ‘Your carbs in a glass and lean proteins on

your plate,’ ” he said. The first Burnsville bar and restaurant with its own brewery may also be the first to sell 64-ounce “growlers” of beer over the counter. The City Council has loosened its off-sale liquor ordinance to allow three more licenses outside of the Burnsville Center retail area — one of which Nutmeg may pursue after its on-sale business is oper-ating. “As soon as possible,” Singh said. “Once we have the product established, we would like to do the growl-ers.” His only hesitation is that beer carried from the premises may lose some character by being stored at the wrong temperature or kept too long before it’s consumed. “The idea’s not to sell too much,” Singh said. “The idea’s to keep honest to the core of the principles of what we’re trying to do, which is give a best-in-the-class product. We may not make a lot of money doing it. That’s fine.”

Eagan Market Fest returns for eighth season

by Jessica HarperSUN THISWEEK


Minnesota’s top-rated farmers’ market is back with an expanded roster of vendors and activities. Eagan Market Fest, which is part farmers market and part community festival, will kick off its eighth season on June 3 at the Eagan Festival Grounds in Central Park, 1501 Central Parkway. Every Wednesday market-goers can choose from a plethora of locally grown produce and homemade goods, purchase dinner from local food vendors and enjoy live music at the Rotary Band Shell. The mar-ket will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. from June 3 to Sept. 2 and from 3 to 7 p.m. Sept. 9-30. Free reusable bags sponsored by Think Bank will be distributed on open-ing day. “We would encourage people to come out to do something together that is affordable as a family,” said Kerry Phillips, Eagan Market Fest coordinator. “It’s really a nice venue to connect with community mem-bers and spend a nice evening together as a family.” The market will feature more than 56 types of pro-duce and 70 types of local products such as jams, hon-ey, maple syrup and chocolates. A variety of new items will be featured this year. An expanded variety of canned goods will include canned fruits and vegetables and spaghetti sauces. For the first time, Woodbury retailer Angry Pineapple will offer sweet and spice canned pineapple spread, which has been popular at other local markets. Market-goers will be able to purchase frozen pizza dough by True Dough and gluten-free baking mixes from SavorMore. Biscotti by Barb homemade Biscotti will offer a variety of flavors including almond toffee, dark chocolate, salted caramel and blueberry. In addition to edible goodies, attendees can browse the market’s selection of jewelry, woodcrafts and gar-den art. The market will also feature a children’s activ-ity each week sponsored by the Eagan Art House, as well as an outdoor gaming area. Eagan Market Fest was recently voted the best place to listen to live music by Sun Media’s Reader Choice Awards. Market Fest will feature musical groups each week that will perform a wide range of genres, includ-ing blues, oldies, rock and Latin music. The market will have several theme nights, beginning with Family Night on June 17, which will have 20 ad-ditional family-themed vendors. Children will receive a reusable shopping bag on Family Night. Children who return each week thereafter with their bag will receive a stamp. Those who receive five stamps will earn a prize. “We hope this encourages kids to pick up produce and maybe pick up something they haven’t tried before like kohlrabi,” Phillips said. Market Fest’s Classic Car Show will return July 15 and will feature oldies music and more than 140 clas-sic cars. Health and wellness night will be held Aug. 12 and will include health screenings and fitness activities. Latino Night will return July 29 with Latin music and activities.

DEVELOPMENT AGENCYMORTGAGE CREDIT

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that

the Dakota County Community Development Agency (the “CDA”) intends to make Mortgage Credit Certificates (“MCCs”) available to certain qualified persons purchas-ing or substantially rehabilitating eligible homes in Dakota County, Minnesota (the “County”), under one or more a Mortgage Credit Certificate Programs expected to be established in 2015 (the “Pro-gram”).

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 either 20% or 30% (the specific rate is to be determined) of the interest paid by the borrower on the mortgage identified in the MCC. The terms of the MCC and the Program will be subject to the provisions and limi-tations of Section 25 of the Inter-nal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury Department 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, which is currently $86,600. In gen-eral, the combined gross income of the borrower(s) and any other person (other than minors) intend-ing to permanently live in the home being financed is used to deter-mine income for purposes of this limit. The income of co-signers of the mortgage note who will not live in the residence is not included. In general, “gross income” means all income received on an annualized basis, less certain non-recurring items such as inheritances. The CDA may adjust the income limit during the Program to a figure or figures which do not exceed 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. The first-time-homebuyer requirement is waived if a home is being “substantially rehabilitated,” which means that, among other things, the amount spent for reha-bilitation equals or exceeds 25 per-cent of the after-rehabilitation “ba-sis” in the eligible home. “Basis” is generally equal to the amount invested in the eligible home by its owner.

• 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 completion and the capitalized value of ground rent (where appli-cable). The CDA may adjust the purchase price limits during the Program as required by federal and state limits or in accordance 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 or substantial rehabilitations.

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, 2017, 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. Prior to beginning the Program, the CDA will publish 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 lend-er 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

MORTGAGE CREDIT

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

NOTICE 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 life 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 being financed; is used to determine in-come for purposes of this limit. In general, “gross income” means all income received on an annualized basis. The CDA may adjust the in-come 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.

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.
