Deadline looms for landfill closure deal by John Gessner

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Under pressure from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, state and local officials are working to reach a deal for closing the old Free-way Sanitary Landfill in Burnsville. The Minnesota Pol-lution Control Agency and landowner Mike Mc-Gowan have until Oct. 30 to reach a deal before the EPA could step in and

take over the closure pro-cess under the federal Su-perfund program. Impatient with the lack of progress, the EPA has already extended April and August deadlines for entering the 140-acre property into the state’s Closed Landfill Program. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy visited the site in May 2014 and said if the closure process didn’t get moving, the feds would look at taking it over, Burnsville City Man-

ager Heather Johnston said. Freeway is one of only four of 113 eligible land-fills that haven’t joined the Closed Landfill Program, which devotes state money to cleanup projects, said Kirk Koudelka, PCA as-sistant commissioner. The program is volun-tary, requiring a binding agreement between the PCA and landfill own-ers. A potential closure deal with McGowan has languished for years. The

landfill, which sits west of Interstate 35W in the Minnesota River bottom, hasn’t accepted garbage since 1990. “In this case, we have not had that owner will-ing to come into the pro-gram,” Koudelka said. There’s much at stake: the future safety of drink-ing water from area wells, prospects for tax-boosting redevelopment of prime freeway land and Mc-Gowan’s ability to con-tinue profiting from the

site, which was owned by his late father and first li-censed to accept waste in 1971. “We need to get this site cleaned up,” John-ston said. “It needs to be cleaned up and closed properly. And the state Closed Landfill Program was created exactly for this site. It’s probably the most complex site that they have that’s eligible for the pro-gram.”

City downgradesdevelopment visionfor river quadrant

Quarry, active landfill to

stick aroundlonger than

once thought by John Gessner


Burnsville’s vision for its Minnesota River Quad-rant, the final frontier of large-scale development in a mostly built city, has come in for some down-grading. A quarry-fed lake and a golf course on a closed and capped landfill are still in the distance. A would-be “gateway cen-ter” with a hotel and offic-es is a moonshot. A medi-cal campus once thought possible is on no one’s ra-dar. But high-ceilinged

warehouses could be a hot draw in the 1,700-acre area west of Interstate 35W, north of Highway 13 and south of the Min-nesota River. Meanwhile, two huge landowners — Kraemer Mining and Ma-terials, which operates a limestone quarry, and the Burnsville Sanitary Land-fill — are expected to con-tinue those operations for at least 20 more years, fur-ther delaying large-scale redevelopment. Officials are reviewing the development land-scape as they prepare to write a new city compre-hensive plan, due in 2018. At an Oct. 13 work ses-sion, City Council mem-bers signaled a willingness to accommodate develop-ment the area can attract rather than hold out for

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With the wage gap clos-ing in America between those with bachelor’s and associate degrees, Dakota County Technical College leaders want current and future students to know they are building toward making the careers of to-morrow. The college broke ground last Thursday on the second phase of a ren-ovation project that aims to build classroom spaces for programs in emerging job fields, utilize 21st cen-tury technologies and re-duce energy consumption by 20 to 30 percent. With 2013 work already complete on 55,000 square feet of classroom space, the college is set to reno-vate another 63,000 square

feet – all of which is for t ranspor-tation and e m e rg i n g technolo-gies pro-grams. Part of the space will be used for the col-lege’s science, technology, engineering and mathe-matics (STEM) initiatives. Some of the areas of the college hadn’t been up-dated since 1973, accord-ing to the college, and the work will reorganize some spaces and address techni-cal concerns. College officials said the welding program space had air quality and safety issues prior to the renova-tion work.

Industry veteran to lead music schoolKrogh is Eagan

resident by Jessica Harper


Eagan resident John Krogh has spent more than two decades master-ing various avenues within the music industry. Now he’s sharing his knowledge with aspiring musicians as dean of McNally Smith College in St. Paul

Krogh, who previously served as vice president of marketing at the mu-sic college, was promoted to dean late last month. Krogh is the school’s first full-time dean in two years. As dean, Krogh said his primary focus implement-ing new initiatives, such as McNally’s Teaching for Tomorrow initiative, to prepare students for a ca-reer in the music industry. As part of the initiative,

the college created a center for creative careers, which will go live in January and will assist students in cre-ating a media portfolio of their work among other things. “The overarching goal with all that is redesign-ing curriculum to ensure it’s relevant to the future of the music industry,” Krogh said. Music has been one of Krogh’s greatest passions

since first learning to play the piano at age 5. The Rosemount native contin-ued to pursue his passion as a trombone player in his high school band. Shortly after graduat-ing from the University of Minnesota in 1997, Krogh headed to Califor-nia. Once there he wrote music for advertising, tele-vision and film clients and

Anthony Caponi, an artist, poet, pro-fessor and founder of the Caponi Art Park and Learning Center in Eagan, died on Oct. 10 at his home. He was 94. Caponi moved to Eagan in 1949 when he became a professor at Macalester Col-lege in St. Paul. He and his wife, Cheryl, spent four decades working to turn their 60-acre Eagan property into a seamless fusion of nature and art that features rolling wood-ed hills, a sculpture garden, an outdoor amphitheater and several miles of walk-ing paths. Caponi opened the park in 1987 for tours and activities for schools and other organizations, and in 1992, it became a nonprofit organization. Today the park hosts a number of programs and festivals such as its annual Medieval Fair. “He wanted to work on a project that was bigger than himself,” Cheryl said. “He intended for it to be a place where people could rejuvenate.” Caponi continued to maintain the park, and at age 90 he was still at the park planting trees and creating walking trails that wind past his sculptures. “He had so much energy,” Cheryl said. “The park is an embodiment of who he was. It gave him purpose and he hoped it would give others purpose and mean-

ing.” About 20,000 people visit the park each year during the spring, summer and fall. Caponi Art Park’s land, located off Diffley Road, is now owned by the city but the park continues to be operated by the nonprofit. Caponi continued to maintain the park, and at age 90 he was still at the park planting trees and creating walking trails that wind past his sculptures. Caponi was born in a small Italian town at the base of Mount Vittoria. His hometown, surrounded by country fields and wilderness, was his inspiration for creating Caponi Art Park. When Caponi was young, his father immigrated to the United States and sent money to support his family. Caponi followed him to the U.S. at age 15. Dur-ing World War II, he served as an inter-preter for the allied military government. He was stationed in Florence, Italy, and elsewhere in Europe where he saw mas-terpieces of great artists and was respon-sible for securing important works of art. Caponi returned to Minnesota in 1945 and over the next four years earned a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree. He led Macalester’s art department for 42 years and was the driving force in cre-ating the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center there.

Fire Muster sign removal spurs city review by John Gessner


After the removal of more than 100 unlawful signs for the annual Fire Muster in September, the Burnsville City Council will consider loosening its sign ordinance for city fes-tivals. Council members agreed to the review at an Oct. 13 work session. It was requested by Council

Member Dan Kealey, the council liaison to the Fire Muster board. Boy Scouts put up the signs, which city staffers ordered removed, Kealey said. He didn’t fault the staff for doing its job by ordering removal of signs placed in violation of city code. But he said the coun-cil should rethink regula-tions for signs advertising “legacy” events — partic-ularly the 36-year-old Fire

Muster, Burnsville’s mar-quee community festival; the annual International Festival of Burnsville, and an annual music festival should one return follow-ing the demise of the Art and all that Jazz Festival, which ran for nearly a de-cade. A marquee sign such as a banner over Nicol-let Avenue isn’t allowed in Burnsville but would be in many other cities for a

local festival, Kealey said. The city should review sign regulations with fes-tival organizers just as it has several times over the years with businesses, he said. Removal of the Fire Muster signs was unfor-tunate, Council Member Mary Sherry said. “I think Burnsville tends to be rather sign-averse, which ordinarily I think is a good thing” —

but this is different, she said. More than 100 signs and banners were re-moved, according to Tom Taylor, Fire Muster board chair. The banners were too large under city ordi-nance, and the signs were placed in areas where they weren’t permitted and in overconcentrations, ac-cording to Taylor. He said they were removed on Wednesday, Sept. 9, before

the weekend when most Fire Muster events are held. Council Member Bill Coughlin said any ordi-nance changes should be small and “reasonable.” He challenged Fire Muster organizers to think “long and hard” about requested changes.

District 194 settles 2015-17 union contract Sets teacher raises at 2.5

percent annually by Laura Adelmann


Lakeville Area School District 194 teaching staff are among those who will receive a 2.5 percent an-nual raise through 2017 under terms of a union contract unanimously approved by the School

Board on Oct. 13. The contract, already approved by the Educa-tion Minnesota-Lakeville union, requires the district and teachers to split the cost of health insurance premium increases on a 50-50 basis. Previously, the district picked up the first 2.5 per-cent of any increase on its own, according to District 194 Administrative Ser-vices Director Tony Mas-

saros. Massaros said the dis-trict also has allocated approximately $60,000 to bring its coach and adviser stipends to the conference average. “There have not been adjustments there for sev-eral years,” Massaros said. Massaros said the dis-trict is using a 14 percent savings from bidding out its insurance provider to fund new teacher orienta-

tions, the district’s shared leadership program and its state-required teacher development and evalua-tions. In a statement, the dis-trict said the agreement, “represents fiscal respon-sibility for taxpayers and appropriate levels of com-pensation for our profes-sional educators following four years of very modest salary increases. Under the 2013-15 contract, staff

received a 1 percent sal-ary increase each year; in 2011-13, there was a salary freeze.” The contract includes District 194 teachers and all Minnesota Department of Education licensed staff, such as school nurs-es, occupational thera-pists, guidance counsel-ors and social workers, according to District 194 spokesperson Amy Olson. She said it does not in-

clude district administra-tors. Massaros said the con-tract terms balance the board’s direction to be fiscally responsible with taxpayer’s dollars, to be fair to employees and “to recognize the high quality of our professional educa-tors.”

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan October 16, 2015 3A

by Sam BrodeySPECIAL TO THE NEWSPAPER

FROM MINNPOST

For the second time in three weeks, Congress has been shaken by unexpect-ed political earthquakes: first, the resignation of House Speaker John Boehner, and second, last Thursday’s sudden announcement that his heir-apparent, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, would withdraw his can-didacy for the speaker-ship. When McCarthy an-nounced his decision dur-ing a closed-door meeting to elect the GOP speaker nominee, members were visibly shocked and shak-en. The party faces a full-fledged leadership crisis, and it is now digging deep for a solution. One name thrown out as a potential answer to the Republicans’ prob-lems: 2nd District Rep. John Kline, of Burnsville. In the hours after Mc-Carthy’s decision, mem-bers of Congress, the media and political ob-servers threw out an array of potential replacement candidates for McCarthy as the House’s next speak-er. But over the course

of the afternoon, an unusual idea gained traction: electing a member who has already announced his or her retirement to serve as an inter-im, or “caretaker” speaker to hold the role until the end of 2016. Only a handful of GOP representatives are retiring, and Kline is perhaps the most power-ful and well-liked among them. In a brief state-ment, a Kline spokesper-son did not dismiss the possibility, saying only: “Congressman Kline is confident House Repub-licans will select someone who can do what’s best for our country and this institution.” The spokesman also

confirmed that Kline has been approached by other members of Congress about running for speaker. He did not say whether Kline was consid-

ering the proposal. For disgruntled mem-bers of a fractured, his-torically rebellious House Republican conference, the idea of an old hand like Kline, now unbur-dened by electoral con-siderations, getting the House in order is no doubt an appealing one. According to BuzzFeed News, top House Re-publicans have broadly endorsed the idea of a “caretaker speaker.” The argument goes like this: Get someone

like Kline — experienced, well-liked — to pick up the gavel while the House GOP sorts out a way forward. That would al-low Boehner to depart at the end of October as planned, while a speaker slated to leave at the end of 2016 would have a free hand to guide must-pass legislation — like trans-portation funding and raising the debt ceiling — through the chamber. The full slate of lead-ership elections could oc-cur as late as the end of next year. For now, Boeh-ner has postponed leader-ship elections indefinitely — meaning his expecta-tion to retire at the end of October could be dashed. Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan is considered the most desirable candidate

for speaker by many in the caucus, but he has re-peatedly declined to run. McCarthy said that Ryan would make a “fantastic speaker,” and Boehner re-portedly called Ryan sev-eral times to urge him to run. Few other names have been floated as viable candidates for full-time speaker. McCarthy’s po-tential opponents — pri-marily Reps. Jason Chaf-fetz and Rep. Daniel Webster — are seen as perhaps too conservative to win over enough of the House GOP. Kline is seen as the kind of mem-ber who could potential-ly secure 218 votes, the threshold needed to win a speakership election. If Ryan is the only Re-publican who could plau-

sibly win over the estab-lishment and conservative wings of the House GOP, his failure to enter the race could prompt more members to endorse the idea of a caretaker speak-er. It’s important to note that even Capitol Hill vet-erans were shocked by the news, and the situation is very much in flux. How in flux? Mitt Romney is being floated as speaker candidate. The position, after all, does not technically need to be held by a sitting member of Congress.

Talk show host enters 2nd District race Jason Lewis is known as ‘Mr. Right’ on

the radio by Tad Johnson


Political talk show host Jason Lewis announced on Monday that he would be seeking the open 2nd District seat in the U.S. House. Lewis, known as “Mr. Right” on his KTLK-ra-dio show for several years, introduces a well-known name statewide to the Republican endorsement

battle that already includes three oth-ers – former state Rep. Pam Myhra, Burnsville; former state Sen. John Howe, Red Wing; and Meggitt PLC engineer David Gerson, South St. Paul. They are seeking the seat that U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, said in September he would not seek. Kline first won election in 2002. Candidates vying for the Democratic Party’s endorsement are St. Jude Medical vice president of global human resources Angie Craig, of Eagan,

and former Cen-ter for Vision Ex-cellence executive director Dr. Mary Lawrence, of Pri-or Lake. Lewis, who lives in Woodbury, which is not in

the 2nd District bound-ary, told the Star Tribune he has not decided if he will abide by the party’s endorsement. Candidates do not need to be resi-dents of a House district to run in that district. The self-described Libertarian has run for Congress before – in 1990 when he lived in Colora-do.

He said in a video mes-sage on his campaign website that he’s getting into the race in part be-cause many people in the 2nd District are living paycheck-to-paycheck. “This campaign is about big things in 2016,” he said on his website. “Government has grown far beyond its constitu-tional limits and the result is less freedom, less real economic growth, higher taxes, more debt, and a national angst about where we’re headed as a people. I guarantee you, we’re going to change that starting with the 2nd Congressional District.”

Among the issues he outlined in his message included his opposition to the Affordable Care Act, saying that people should be able to select their own health care provider, and simplifying the tax code. “We need a flatter and fairer tax code that not only treats everyone the same, but encourages work, savings, and invest-ment,” he said. He’s also emphasized the need for less federal government oversight in people’s daily lives. “Breaking up the mo-nopoly in Washington is the surest way to let the citizens of the 2nd Dis-

trict live under the laws they helped create,” he said. Lewis has lived in Min-nesota for 20 years. He has a Masters of Arts degree in political science from the University of Colorado-Denver and a Bachelor of Arts degree in education and business from the University of Northern Iowa. He authored the book “Power Divided is Power Checked” in 2010 and has been a contributing Star Tribune columnist.

City takes bite out of dog-sitting business To the editor: I recently attended an Eagan City Council meet-ing to support a neighbor’s request for permission to continue operating her business – one of those vi-tal “small businesses” we hear so much about. My neighbor has a homegrown dog-sitting business inside her house. This has become a major source of income for the family. Unknown to the her, and despite a city of-ficial’s statements to the contrary, Eagan has an or-dinance stating that more

than “three animals” in a home constitutes a “ken-nel.” Kennels require non-residential zoning. A mild complaint from her neighbor triggered a visit from an animal con-trol officer who informed the dog-sitter that the business she had been run-ning for 10 years was ille-gal. I understand city or-dinances against running blast furnaces and auto recycling in residential neighborhoods. Neigh-bors have some right to maintain a reasonable at-mosphere, but this busi-ness was bothering no one. The dogs are inside the house. Only one neighbor complained in 10 years,

and it seems to me they could have patched things up. What really disap-pointed me was the at-titude of the City Coun-cil. They opined dryly that my neighbor could work something out in a few months – meaning shut down her business, and move away. There was amazement from the council members about how she could handle all those dogs in such a small house. (Since they could not imagine doing it, it should not be done.) The business my neigh-bor built up over the last 10 years has been squashed, for no good rea-son. Although they gave

her a nine-month tem-porary use permit, it was clear that there will be no extension. The business is done, and her income will soon be gone. I was appalled that the City Council saw fit to reach inside a private home and tell the home-owner that what was going on inside that home is not permitted – not based on any malfeasance, or major disturbance, but because of an arbitrary rule that no more than three ani-mals may be housed in a private home in Eagan. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Think about it.

Right on, Jason Lewis To the editor: It was wonderful to hear that Jason Lewis has entered the race for the 2nd Congressional Dis-trict seat in 2016. His solid conservative views will surely resonate with fami-lies throughout the 2nd

Domestic violence has male victims To the editor: The ECM Editorial on domestic violence was an excellent piece as far as it went. I have been a domes-tic violence victim advo-cate, a sexual assault vic-tim advocate and a victim witness coordinator. My biggest frustration work-ing in those fields has been that women have services available, women have ad-vocates and, women tend to be believed by law en-forcement. Sadly men are often left out in the cold when it comes to having victim services available. It is long overdue that we ad-mit men can be victims as well. The few men that do come forward after being victimized are often mini-mized and not believed,

even by law enforcement. The trend was slow rec-ognizing how women were being victimized. Let us make sure it does not take as long for victim services to recognize men can be victimized. Let us make victim services and advo-cacy available to women and men equally.

Shoreline buffer law a good start to protect state waters

True stories about wonderful small-town women in World War II

In January of this year Gov. Mark Dayton surprised a lot of people, includ-ing his cabinet, when he announced his intent to advance a legislative initiative for major changes to the requirements and enforcement of Minnesota’s shore-line restrictions. As the governor correctly pointed out, the state’s shoreline laws, which were de-signed to be implemented and enforced by counties, cities and other local govern-ments, were frequently confusing in their application, and largely unenforced. The governor espoused a uniform 50-foot buffer of perennial vegetation on all lakes, rivers and streams to be enforced by the Minnesota Department of Natu-ral Resources. He argued that the beauty of his proposal was in its simplicity. There had been two prominent calls for new buffer regulations just prior to the governor’s surprising announcement. The first came from the state’s Clean Wa-ter Council, whose members are largely appointed by the governor. The council, in its December 2014 report to the Min-nesota Legislature observed that “buf-fers of perennial grasses and vegetation can reduce sediment, phosphorous and nitrogen significantly.” It recommended that the state do more to see that buffers

along public waters and ditches be main-tained. Also in December, participants in Dayton’s Minnesota Pheasant Summit assembled in response to a rapidly de-clining pheasant habitat and population in Minnesota and identified as a top priority the need for establishment and enforcement of shoreline and ditch buf-fers. Science has long demonstrated the benefits of vegetative buffers to water quality, aquatic habitat and wildlife. They serve to reduce and slow surface water runoff, which holds more soil on the land and out of the water body; they retain and filter pollutants; they stabilize banks and reduce erosion and they re-duce nutrient loading in the water body through plant uptake. Dayton is to be commended for rais-ing this issue to the visibility it deserves. While the Legislature did give the buffer initiative considerable attention this past session, many were surprised that some-thing this complex and controversial re-sulted in enactment of new law less than five months after the initiative was an-

nounced. It was not, however, as simple nor as uniform as the governor proposed; nor is it to be uniformly enforced by the DNR, but rather still locally enforced. The new buffer law provides that the DNR map all the covered water bodies, which include lakes, rivers and streams, public ditches and private ditches that flow into public ditches. All riparian lands that border on lakes, rivers and streams will be required to have buffers averaging 50 feet, with 30-foot mini-mums. Ditches will be required to have 16.5-foot buffers on either side. There are exceptions for agricultural properties if approved by the state Board of Water and Soil Resources as meeting certain criteria. The DNR will supply maps to the county Soil and Water Conservation Dis-tricts. The SWCDs will follow through with the counties, cities and other local governments having jurisdiction. The SWCDs have the responsibility to assure compliance and issue fines. The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is tasked with oversight of the SWCDs and can withhold state funds from any conservation district not performing its responsibilities. Required

buffers are to be in place on public waters by Nov. 1, 2017, and ditches by Nov. 1, 2018. Cynics observe that we have had very poor compliance with buffer laws that have been in effect for decades in large part because they were entirely depen-dent on local implementation and local enforcement; now we have a new law largely dependent on local implementa-tion and local enforcement. They ask why we should expect different out-comes. We are more hopeful. Dayton clearly has raised the awareness of the impor-tance of buffers for improving water quality. The Legislature has responded and reinforced that importance. Now it will be up to those local gov-ernments to follow through and see that the buffer requirements are implemented and enforced. Most importantly, it will be up to all of us to hold our governments at all levels accountable. The health of our waters, now and in the future, depend on it.

Reading the book “Once Upon a Town” can do several things for you. You will learn about a remarkable but little known, true World War II story that will fill you with gratitude and per-haps, amazement. It’s a tribute to terrif-ic things that people working together can do. You may want to read the book to or with elementary to high school age stu-dents. You also may experience a good cry. I rarely cry as I read books. But I cried repeatedly as I read this one – tears of appreciation and admiration. Award-winning Chicago newspa-per columnist Bob Greene traveled to North Platte, Nebraska, because he had heard about what people – mostly wom-en from the area – had done. He wanted to find out whether vague stories he’d heard were true. They were. From Dec. 17, 1941 to April 1, 1946, these folks met, welcomed and fed more than 6 million servicemen and servicewomen who stopped briefly in North Platte. Yes, 6 million. Yes, they did this for every troop train, from early morning until late at night. The trains were taking service people to the East or West Coast, for war-time assignments. Why did the people in and around North Platte do this? Greene interviewed women who par-ticipated. Lorene Huebner, 76 when Greene interviewed, recalled: “You

would feel like you had done something worthwhile, for the glory of God and for the glory of your nation. … It was exciting to go to North Platte and see the handsome young sailor boys.” How did the service members react? Greene interviewed vets throughout the country who had stopped in North Platte. They experienced something there that happened nowhere else in the country. Paul Metro, then 76, told Greene: “I think America should remember those people. Right in the middle of the coun-try. ... Those people in that town helped us. They made us feel that someone ap-preciated us.” Edward J. Fouss, who was 81 when interviewed, recalled, “Just a very nice feeling ... and it smelled so good. ... What I see, when I think back on it, is a lot of happy people.” Russ Fay, 75 when he talked with Greene, recalled: “We never ran into anything like that, before or after. ... I still thank them from the bottom of my heart.” Greene noted that during interviews the (mostly female) canteen volunteers were emotional but generally “remained

composed.” “But the soldiers they had welcomed ... as often as not, would weep at some point during our conversations.” They were so grateful, so surprised and so ap-preciative for what the Nebraskans had done. I called Jim Griffin, director and cu-rator of the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, to ask him about the book and the actual events. He said, “It’s a great book, really good introduction to the story.” Griffin ex-plained that although (unfortunately) the canteen has been torn down, about

15,000 people a year visit North Platte, often com-ing to the museum. It has thousands of artifacts from the canteen, includ-ing pictures and letters of thanks from the service people. Griffin told me there was just one thing that concerned him about the book. Greene ac-curately explains that a woman named Rae Wil-son proposed the canteen and mentions a woman named Helen Christ. However, Griffin thinks Ms. Christ deserves more credit because she “ran the canteen for almost five years.” More information, in-cluding great pictures, is available at Lincoln

County Historical Museum’s website: http://bit.ly/1MZ99k5. “Once Upon a Town” is a moving, memorable book. This was a remark-able, awesome effort to support and love fellow Americans.

none of the current mem-bers have children in dis-trict schools. The long tenures are commendable – but it’s starting to slow progress in our schools. We’re in need of fresh perspectives and the insights that can only come from a board mem-ber who has students in District 196 schools. One example of where we’re behind; integrating tech-nology into schools and curriculum. The technol-ogy dollars in the current levy request will be wasted if they aren’t implemented well. I know that Sachin Isaacs has the background, experience and first-hand perspectives that will allow him to guide the district on this issue and many others impacting students, teachers, and staff in our schools today. I urge you to join me in voting for Sa-chin Isaacs for District 196 School Board.

Return in investmentTo the editor: For two weeks in a row (Sept. 25, Oct. 2) readers saw letters telling them the taxpayers must “invest” (that is, spend) more on

education. Unfortunately that is exactly wrong. A simple statistical analy-sis of data from the State Department of Education shows clearly that, on av-erage, the higher per-pupil spending is, the worse student achievement be-comes. Obviously that is counter-intuitive, but there is also a wide vari-ance to the data, such that for the same spending lev-els, student achievement can vary by almost 2:1. In other words, how much we spend on education is es-sentially irrelevant. What matters is how the money is spent and the generally negative correlation tells us simply that the more money we spend, the more gets wasted. So long as we continue to accept the silly argument that the schools need more money to do better, they will never get better. What we should be doing is demanding that the schools get better, and then target increased spending to specific pro-grams proven to improve student achievement.

Support schools in District 194 To the editor: I am supporting levy

question No. 1 and No. 2 for the Lakeville Area School District 194 be-cause I believe our stu-dents will benefit from both levies and the district has proved to me that they can spend our tax dollars wisely. After 10 years of failed levies and $26 million in budget cuts, the 2013 levy was proposed to fix an ongoing $4 million fund-ing gap and invest $1.6 million into hiring teach-ers – and that is exactly what happened. For those of us with children in the schools the biggest differ-ence since 2013 is the lack of budget cuts, which may not feel like much, but it is huge. Imagine for a mo-ment $4 million in cuts in 2014 and another $4 mil-lion in cuts in 2015 – what would our schools look like today if the 2013 levy hadn’t passed? Both levy questions on Nov. 3 are very specific in their requests and laid out well on the district website with descriptions, charts and graphs. The failed lev-ies prior to 2013 were not always that way. 2013 was a moderate, well defined and much needed request and so is this. Five years ago our com-munity was 12 votes short of passing a vague, unde-fined technology levy. Our district is now requesting funds specifically to re-

place aging computer labs and printers throughout the district and to provide shareable devices within the schools for teachers to use as tools for learning. It is a reasonable, detailed and well thought out pro-posal of $1.5 million un-like comparable districts asking for or already spending as much as $5 million or more per year. Bottom line is that the computer labs and print-ers will need to be replaced whether the levy passes or not. If the levy does not pass, the funds will have to come from the general fund, which in turn affects the classroom. These levies are well de-fined and needed. Please review the levy page on the district website, attend the information night on Oct 19 and vote “yes” and “yes” with me on Nov. 3.

JENNIFER HARMENINGBurnsville

Levies are well-worth the investment To the editor: We have been involved in Lakeville schools for nearly 25 years. First as students and now as ad-

visers to extracurricular activities. We moved back to Lakeville, a little over a year ago, because we wanted to raise our family here. On Nov. 3, voters will be asked to vote on two ques-tions regarding increased and sustained funding for the school district. Sim-ply put, the first question on capital improvement is regarding increasing the safety for students, pro-viding programs in STEM education, and purchasing digital tools for learning. The second question ad-dresses class sizes in core high school subjects, re-storing art in elementary schools, and reviving band for fifth-graders. Parents have rightly been concerned that class sizes are out of control. Typical classes at Lake-ville high schools average around 40 students. That is unacceptable. For our students to have the skills to be well-rounded indi-viduals restoring art and band at the elementary level is crucial. As gradu-ates of Lakeville High School we can affirm that some of the same technol-ogy that was available to us more than a decade ago still remains in use. Our students deserve access to

current technologies that nourish diverse learning environments. Readers are probably thinking: “All that sounds great. Sure, I support funding for schools. And, yes, you’re right about class sizes. But, what’s it going to cost me?” The smart folks at the school district put together a tool where you can cal-culate your expected tax increase (www.ehlers-inc.com/custom/taxinforma-tion/Lakeville/). The aver-age home value in Lake-ville, according to Zillow, is $325,000. If your home is valued at that amount, you’ll pay an extra $13.50 a month, the equivalent of a box of Starbucks KCups. Healthy, com-petitive school districts protect strong property values; well-worth a small increase in your monthly tax burden. When we moved back to Lakeville, it was impor-tant for us to ensure that our daughters have a bet-ter educational experience than we had, which is why we will both be voting yes for the referendum. We urge you to do the same.

Brewpubs in Apple Valley? Council weighs regulation by Andrew Miller


The Apple Valley City Council is reviewing a proposal to license and regulate brewpubs, small brewers and microdistill-eries within the city. Recent state legislation allows cities to authorize such establishments. Among the businesses that could be licensed are brewpubs (restau-rants where malt liquor is brewed) as well as brewer taprooms (areas adjacent to breweries where malt liquor is sold). Under the proposal, both off-sale and on-sale distribution

would be permitted. Of note is a provision which allows for Sun-day sales of malt liquor. Sixty-four ounce contain-ers of malt liquor, called “growlers,” would be per-mitted 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, in addition to Monday through Satur-day sales. Previously, off-sale distribution had not been permitted on Sun-day in Minnesota. Council members voiced support — and some dissent — for the measures at the Oct. 8 council meeting. City Council Mem-ber Clint Hooppaw sug-gested that licensing and

regulation of brewpubs and other establishments would put the city in a position to attract entre-preneurs. “We have the opportu-nity to grab some of these businesses,” Hooppaw said. City Council Mem-ber John Bergman also voiced support for autho-rizing such businesses in Apple Valley. “I’m a big fan of these brewpub taprooms — I think they bring a unique-ness to the community,” Bergman said. City Council Member Tom Goodwin offered concerns about the pro-

posal, noting that the state legislation is un-satisfactory. The alcohol content of malt liquor from microbreweries can vary, he said, and the potency of a particular drink may not always be clear to the consumer — the alcohol content can range anywhere from 4 to 12 percent. This is “one more time the state has gotten way ahead of themselves and they haven’t thought this through,” he said. Goodwin offered a possible scenario of someone consuming malt liquor with 12 percent al-cohol content at a brew-

pub or taproom in Apple Valley, driving drunk, and someone getting killed in a crash. “Don’t tell me there’s not going to be a liability issue with the city,” he said. Bergman noted that in his visits to brewpubs and taprooms, there’s al-ways been print materials or signage indicating the alcohol content of the drinks on offer. “Every brewpub or taproom has a printed form of what I’m drink-ing,” he said. “I believe the consumer will always see (the alcohol con-tent).” Council members di-

rected police Chief Jon Rechtzigel to research the relationship between alcohol content of malt liquor and the .08 blood-alcohol concentration limit for drunk driving. The council also directed City Attorney Sharon Hills to determine if the city would face legal lia-bility under the proposal. The City Council is scheduled to review, and possibly vote on, the pro-posal at its Oct. 22 meet-ing at the Apple Valley Municipal Center.

Families are explorers of the MississippiFive local kids reach goal of visiting all 27

Mississippi lock-and-dam sites

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


What began as a day trip to Minnehaha Falls in Minneapo-lis turned into a half-decade-long adventure spanning three states for five local kids. Ranging in age from 8 to 12, the kids — Nick, John and Emma Schwartz of Apple Val-ley, and Eric and Ben Picha of Eagan — made it their goal to visit all 27 lock-and-dam sites on the Mississippi River. Accompanied by their moth-ers — Shawnessy Schwartz and Lori Picha — they’ll be reach-ing that goal this weekend when they visit Lock and Dam No. 27 in St. Louis. The idea to visit all the locks and dams began as something of a joke five years ago, Shaw-nessy Schwartz said. But soon the group was visiting five or six sites a year, and taking in the lo-

cal color, along the Mississippi River in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri each October. “We’d been over at Lock and Dam No. 1 at Minnehaha Falls, and there’s a map show-

ing all the locks and dams along the Mississippi,” she recounted. “Someone said, wouldn’t it be fun to visit all of them? My friend Lori and I, we’re kind of always up for an adventure.

Every year we kind of think the kids are not going to be into it, but every year, they’re excited to go.” Part of the fun has been visit-ing the towns near the locks and

dams. The group has visited the World’s Largest Frying Pan, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Li-brary, and the largest operating windmill in the United States. “We kind of use the lock and dam trips as an excuse to ex-plore along the way,” Shawnessy Schwartz said. “We laugh that when we tell people it is our goal to visit all the lock and dams on the Mis-sissippi River, most of them look at us like we are crazy. We often talk about how we feel these trips have taught our kids how to find the extraordinary and adventure in everything, no matter how small — or crazy sounding — the adventure.” Now that their lock-and-dam excursions are nearing their end, the group’s next big adventure is up for discussion. “We don’t know yet,” Shaw-nessy Schwartz said. “We joke that we should visit all the Paul Bunyan statues around the United States.” Email Andrew Miller at [email protected].

SportsOpportunity arises, Eagan capitalizesTeam wins state girls tennis berth

for first time since 2010

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


If you think high school athletes don’t pay atten-tion to mundane matters such as section assign-ments, rest assured that’s not the case. Last spring when the Minnesota State High School League released its section assignments for all sports for the next two years, “our group messag-ing blew up,” said Lindsey Harford, one of the Eagan girls tennis team’s cap-tains. “We were excited. We saw an opportunity.” What happened? Sec-tion 3AA, which was load-ed with strong teams from the South Suburban Con-ference, was being shaken up. Prior Lake, last year’s Section 3AA champion and currently ranked first in the state, moved to Sec-tion 2. Also shipped else-where was Eastview, which was ranked fifth in Class AA this season; the Light-ning was sent to Section 6. That left the No. 4 Wildcats as the only ranked team in Section 3AA. Now all they had to do was cash in on their chance – and they did so with gusto, winning their first three section team matches 7-0 before defeat-

ing Woodbury 6-1 in the finals Monday in Lakev-ille. While the Wildcats ac-knowledge their good for-tune in the section assign-ments, their performance this season suggests they’re a deserving state qualifier. They are 21-2, with their only losses coming against No. 1-ranked Prior Lake and third-ranked Mahto-medi.

“We thought this team had a lot of potential,” said Eagan captain Anu-sha Arcalgud. “All of our players worked really hard in the summer, and we knew our singles lineup would be strong.” The singles lineup was established. It was left for coach Scott Nichols to sort through a deep group of doubles players to identify his best lineup.

“That really didn’t come together until about half-way through the season,” Nichols said. A 7-0 victory over East-view in midseason helped settle the lineup questions. Eagan has six players with 20 or more victories and two or fewer losses. That group includes No. 1 singles player Saman-tha Nichols, who is 22-1. Two other singles players,

Lauren Ferg and Eesha Varma, were undefeated at 23-0 going into the section individual tournament. Arcalgud (21-2), Harford (21-2) and Chloe Asun-cion (21-1) also have more than 20 victories. Eagan last played in the state team tournament in 2010. Since then, the Wildcats often have found themselves butting heads with Prior Lake in the sec-

tion tourney. “We’ve had some good teams since we last went to state, but Prior Lake has a really strong program,” Nichols said. “With East-view, it was bad luck for them to go to Section 6AA. Nobody really wants to be in the same section with Edina (the 17-time defend-ing state champion), so I think I understand how they’re feeling. “In the new section, we didn’t know what to ex-pect. We thought Wood-bury would be strong, we thought Visitation would be tough, and East Ridge is up and coming.” But none of them had an answer for Eagan this season. The Wildcats will play in the state Class AA team tournament Oct. 27-28 at the University of Min-nesota’s Baseline Tennis Center. Prior Lake’s vic-tory in the Section 2AA team tournament will give the South Suburban Con-ference two state entries. Samantha Nichols, a sophomore, is the top seed in the Section 3AA indi-vidual tournament that concludes Wednesday, Oct. 20, at Life Time Fit-ness in Lakeville. Varma and Arcalgud are seeded second in the doubles tourney.

Blaze gets share of subdistrict football titleBurnsville opens playoffs

at home Friday night by Mike Shaughnessy


Things fell into place for Burns-ville’s football team at the end of last week, on several fronts: • The Blaze beat Eastview 39-22 last Friday to finish the regular season 7-1 and give itself a chance to share the East Metro White subdivision championship. • Rosemount’s 35-27 victory over Lakeville North was the other result Burnsville needed. The Blaze tied for first in the subdistrict with Rose-mount and North. • Burnsville was treated favorably in the Section 3 seedings, earning the No. 2 spot and potentially two home playoff games. Early this week Burnsville rose to No. 2 in the Associated Press Class 6A football poll, trailing only four-time defending state large-school champi-on Eden Prairie. That’s something else for the Blaze to savor ... some other time. For now, its attention is on its first Class 6A playoff game at 7 p.m. Friday, when it plays host to Forest Lake. Forest Lake, the seventh seed from Section 5, is 0-8 this season, but that doesn’t begin to tell the story of the Rangers’ recent woes. They have lost 39 consecutive varsity football games dating to the middle of the 2011 sea-son. For Burnsville, it could mean one of two things – the opponent that shows up at Dick Hanson Field on Friday might be counting the hours before its season ends, or it could come in believing it has nothing more to lose and play inspired football. Burnsville coach Tyler Krebs said his team is preparing for the latter possibility. “We have every game of theirs on film, and what we’ve seen is that they have a number of talented play-ers,” Krebs said. “They have a line-man who’s committed to Wisconsin, a quarterback who throws the ball well, a good running back and some receivers. They’ve been in some of their games, but mistakes and penal-ties have hurt them.” Last week, Burnsville also faced an opponent going through a rough season. The Blaze scored the final three touchdowns of the game to seal a 39-22 victory over Eastview, which finished the regular season 0-8. The Lightning will play at Maple Grove in the first Class 6A playoff round Fri-day night. Eastview led 22-21 early in the third quarter largely behind the running of junior Mike Delich, who rushed for 156 yards and two scores. His 9-yard

touchdown run in the third quarter put the Lightning in front. “Eastview has been able to score some points, but they’ve also had a lot of turnovers and penalties,” said Krebs, who was Eastview’s defensive coordinator before becoming Burns-ville head coach in 2011. “They have a good team. Defensively, it wasn’t one of our best games. We made some mistakes we haven’t seen for a while. Thankfully, our offense played a great game.” Burnsville rushed for 302 yards, with junior Steph Olson Jr. gaining 117 yards on 16 carries and scoring four touchdowns. Quarterback Ka-mal Martin scored in the first quarter on an 8-yard run, and Jackson Mar-tens scored on a 6-yard run in the fourth. If the Blaze beats Forest Lake, it would play at home against Edina or Mounds View on Oct. 23. Two victo-ries would send Burnsville to the state quarterfinals for the first time since 1995. The school has become invested in the football program’s revival, Krebs said. “When I came here five years ago, I thought if we could build something, the community and school would rally around it,” the coach said. “And that’s what has happened.”

Apple Valley 26, Eagan 7 Apple Valley observed the return of its starting quarterback with an offensive performance the Eagles haven’t seen since Noah Sanders left the lineup. Sanders, out since injuring a leg in the Eagles’ second game of the season, passed for 180 yards and one touch-down in Apple Valley’s victory over Eagan. Apple Valley (3-5) also gained 236 yards on the ground, with Mario Lewis running for 103 yards and one touchdown and Kieran McKeag gain-ing 102 yards and scoring twice. Luke Martens caught a 50-yard pass from Sanders in the first quarter for the Eagles’ first touchdown. Eagan tied the game early in the second quarter on an 84-yard run by Sam Schuberg, but the Wildcats’ of-fense was otherwise quiet, finishing with 206 yards. Apple Valley played at home against Henry Sibley on Wednesday in the first round of the Class 5A, Sec-tion 3 playoffs (that game took place after this edition went to press). The winner plays at No. 2 seed Park of Cottage Grove on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Eagan (3-5) received the No. 6 seed from Section 3 in the Class 6A play-offs and plays at Centennial (4-4) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Farmington runners 1-2 in SSC raceShakopee girls, North boys win team champion-

ships by Mike Shaughnessy


Farmington runners took the top two places in the South Suburban Con-ference girls cross country meet, while Shakopee’s girls and Lakeville North’s boys took home the team championships. Lauren Peterson, a Farmington ninth-grader who was runner-up at the 2014 conference meet, won Tuesday’s 5,000-meter race at Eagan High School in 18 minutes, 45.18 seconds. Second was Peterson’s teammate, seventh-grader Anna Fenske, who finished in 19:00.94. Defending conference champion Tess Misgen of Shakopee was third. Misgen, however, led Shakopee to a four-point victory over Lake-ville South in the girls team competition. South, ranked 12th in Class AA, had five individuals in the top 20 – the cutoff for all-conference recognition. Shakopee, which is ranked ninth, had two runners in the top 10 and four in the top 20. Lakeville North ran to a 29-point victory in the boys meet behind seniors Collin VanDussen and Jus-tin Paschall, who finished second and fourth in the individual competition.

Girls Eastview seniors Laura Bestul (19:19.20) and Mar-gie Freed (19:23.08) were fourth and fifth individual-ly for the Lightning, which was fourth in the confer-ence standings. Lakeville North placed sixth, with one Panthers runner earning all-confer-ence – eighth-grader Ella Larson, who was 11th in 19:59.40. Senior Johanna Weber (13th, 20:09.24) and junior Krista Holmstrom (18th, 20:20.73) were all-confer-ence runners for eighth-place Burnsville. Eagan placed ninth, led by senior Katherine Ko-prowski, who was 33rd in-dividually.

Apple Valley’s top run-ner was sophomore Molly Moynihan, who placed 10th in 19:52.54 to earn a spot on the all-conference team.

Boys Prior Lake runners took two of the top three plac-es in the conference boys meet, but four Lakeville North runners had crossed the finish line before the Lakers’ No. 3 runner came in. That proved crucial as the Panthers grabbed the

lead and went on to win with 56 points. VanDussen placed sec-ond in 16:40.49, about 5.5 seconds behind Colin Dwyer of Prior Lake. Pas-chall’s fourth-place time was 16:46.95. Connor Bach (ninth, 17:08.40) and Jacob Beckstrom (12th, 17:16.06) also earned all-conference recognition. The Panthers’ Luke Tollefson finished 29th. Apple Valley had three all-conference runners as seniors Robert Hapke (17:17.29), Yassin Abasher (17:18.67) and Brian Bet-tes (17:20.95) placed 13th through 15th. The Eagles were fourth in the team standings. Eagan placed sixth, one point behind Lakeville South, with sophomore Trenton Allen the Wildcats’ top runner. Allen earned all-conference with a 17th-place finish in 17:22.47. Eastview junior Kevin Gunawan was 11th in 17:15.46 to earn all-con-ference recognition. Burns-ville was 10th in the team competition, with Dillon Wong and Nathaniel Bli-chfeldt finishing 26th and 27th individually.

higher and better uses that have dominated “vision-ing” schematics for years. “I don’t want to sit there and let the perfect get in the way of the good for the next 20 years,” Council Member Dan Kealey said. The area isn’t about to see big changes to spur a transformation, accord-ing to Economic Devel-opment Coordinator Skip Nienhaus. “Your vision had a driving project — a beauti-ful lake and a golf course, but that’s 20 years out,” he told council members. It was once thought those might materialize as soon as 2018. But the economy dampened de-mand for aggregate from the quarry, and changing waste-disposal practices have slowed filling of the landfill owned by Waste Management. But market research shows that bulk ware-house space with 32-foot-high ceilings is a market-ready use, officials say. Let it come, urged May-or Elizabeth Kautz. “It’s industrial build-

ings, it’s warehouses — we don’t have that product in our city,” she said. “We have 9-foot, but we don’t have 24-foot, 32-foot, in our city.” Council Member Mary Sherry said she views such development as an interim use for the next 20 years. “I am anxious to get that land on the tax rolls,” she said. “The use that is in demand right now is not long-term use.” Though storage space is in demand, it doesn’t pro-duce as much tax revenue as higher-end uses such as office and retail. “The market isn’t there for that highest taxpaying use in the MRQ at this time,” Community De-velopment Director Jenni Faulkner said. The area hasn’t been without action in recent years. Menards built a new store to replace its old one, and the ShopJimmy e-commerce business that sells TV parts has occu-pied the vast former Our Own Hardware building, Nienhaus noted. There have been soil-correction projects to prepare some vacant parcels for build-

ing. The area could draw new retail, but only around the new County Road 5-Highway 13 inter-change, according to Max-field Research. The city, using special state legislation, has estab-lished one tax-increment financing district in the MRQ but assisted no proj-ects yet. Development and rede-velopment promise higher land values and more tax revenue at some point. In 2006, the city was predict-ing that the area’s land value could rise from its then-level of $73 million to $675 million.

DEVELOP, from 1A

Under a proposed clo-sure plan, waste would be dug up and moved into about 92 acres of the property with a new liner underneath to prevent contaminants from affect-ing groundwater, Koudel-ka said. That would leave about 45 acres on the east end of the property for reclamation and redevel-opment, he said. The cleanup cost is es-timated at $64 million, he said. Groundwater modeling on the site shows future problems unless action is taken. The adjacent Krae-mer Mining and Materi-als property pumps large volumes of groundwater to continue its quarry op-eration. The water is used by Burnsville and Savage water customers. When pumping ceases (quarry operations are ex-pected to continue for 15 to 20 more years, accord-ing to the city), the land-fill waste “will be sitting in water,” Koudelka said.

“The groundwater is going to come back up and start flowing back to the river like it had before, and it’s going to swoop through the garbage.” Without the newly lined landfill, pollution standards for the drink-ing water and for a future quarry lake will be “ex-ceeded,” Koudelka said. “That’s why we have the concern — let’s get it done now, before Kraemer stops pumping, and the longer we wait, the more it’s going to cost,” he said. The groundwater is safe now, Johnston as-sured. “Our No. 1 priority is protecting the environ-ment, which includes the groundwater,” she said. Redevelopment of the eastern part of the prop-erty would also benefit tax coffers. The city estimates that office-warehouse uses on 49 acres nearest the freeway could eventu-ally boost the value of that land from $2.4 million to $31.8 million. That would boost tax revenue for the city, state, Dakota County and School District 191 by

about $1 million a year. The Freeway Landfill is unique among dormant landfills in that it has a continuing revenue source — the Freeway Transfer waste-transfer station, Koudelka said. But the cleanup plan could threaten the sta-tion’s continued operation, which is a factor in nego-tiations with McGowan, according to Koudelka. “I think he would like to preserve the ability to continue to operate the transfer station,” Koudel-ka said. The cleanup plan would require digging up gar-bage from the station site. Garbage is known to be under the berms around the buildings and a road between them, Koudelka said, raising the question of whether it’s under the buildings, too. If the EPA takes over the closure under the Su-perfund program, the EPA would try to recoup the costs from the “respon-sible parties” — everyone from the landfill owner to waste haulers and their

customers, Koudelka said. It’s a litigious process with spotty results, which is why Minnesota created the Closed Landfill Pro-gram in 1994, he said. Under the program, the state pays the closure costs from a variety of funding sources. “It’s sort of the people’s garbage, if you will,” Johnston said. The Freeway Landfill property contains nearly 5 million cubic yards of waste covered by soil, ac-cording to an EPA fact sheet. Under its state permit, the landfill was prohibited from accepting liquids and hazardous wastes; “how-ever, heavy metals, acids and bases were accepted by the landfill from local industries,” the EPA says. “The landfill also accepted 200 cubic yards of battery casings and 448 tons of aluminium sweat furnace slag.”

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 194(LAKEVILLE) STATE OF MINNESOTA

NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTIONNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special election has been called and will be held in and for Independent School District No. 194 (Lakeville), State

of Minnesota, on Tuesday, November 3, 2015, for the purpose of voting on the following questions: SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 1

APPROVAL OF CAPITAL PROJECT LEVY

AUTHORIZATION TO FUND TECHNOLOGY

The board of Independent School District No. 194 (Lakeville Area Public Schools) has proposed a capital project levy authorization in the amount of 2.981% times the net tax capacity of the school district. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $2,016,667 for taxes payable in 2016, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten years. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $20,166,670. The money raised by this authorization will provide funds for the acquisition, installation and maintenance of technology for use primarily in security and safety systems, STEM programs and other instructional programs. Yes Shall the capital project levy authorization to fund technology proposed by the board of No Independent School District No. 194 be approved?

BY VOTING “YES” ON THIS BALLOT QUESTION, YOU

ARE VOTING FOR A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 2

APPROVAL OF SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENDUM

REVENUE AUTHORIZATION

The board of Independent School District No. 194 (Lakeville Area Public Schools) has proposed to increase its general education revenue by $100 per pupil. The proposed operating levy increase would lower teacher to student ratio, reinstate elementary art and 5th grade band. Referendum rev-enue authorization would increase each year by the rate of inflation and be applicable for ten years unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law. Yes Shall the increase in the revenue proposed by the board of No Independent School District No. 194 be approved?

BY VOTING “YES” ON THIS BALLOT QUESTION, YOU

ARE VOTING FOR A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

The annual net dollar increases for typical residential homesteads, apartments, commercial-industrial properties, and most other classes of prop-erty within the school district are as shown in the table below. For agricultural property (both homestead and non-homestead), the taxes for School District Question 2 will be based on the value of the house, garage and surrounding one acre of land only. There will be no referendum taxes for School District Question 2 paid on the value of other agricultural lands and buildings. For seasonal residential recreational property (i.e., cabins), there will be no taxes paid for School District Question 2.

According to his biogra-phy, Caponi rediscovered how to cast metal using the lost-wax process by reading Benvenuto Cel-

lini’s autobiography in its original medieval Italian. He then successfully intro-duced the process for oth-ers to use. Under his leadership, Macalester’s art depart-

ment became among the top 14 in the nation. Art continued to be Caponi’s greatest passion long after retiring from the college. His sculptures filled

Caponi Art Park and were featured in numerous ex-hibits across Minnesota. Aside from his wife, Caponi is survived by his children, Mary Ann, Ca-rina, Remo, Ramolo, Re-

nata and Rosanna; two brothers and many grand-children and great-grand-children. A private memorial service will be held. A cel-ebration of Caponi’s life

will be held this spring at the Caponi Art Park am-phitheater.

The GM AESP and heavy duty truck technology program spaces also had ventilation issues. The welding area and parts counter will be cen-trally located for use by multiple programs and lighting improvements are slated in several areas. College officials pro-vided statistics to visitors

during the groundbreak-ing that highlighted the college’s emphasis in the transportation and STEM fields. They said a 2013 study found that more than 95 percent of graduates from DCTC’s transportation and technical programs found employment in their field of study within six months of graduation. Jobs and wages in the

technology sector are growing in Minnesota and nationwide. A July 2011 U.S. De-partment of Commerce study said STEM occupa-tions are projected to grow by 17 percent from 2008 to 2018, compared to 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM occupations. College officials said hourly pay is growing for such career areas as weld-

ers ($19.42), biomedi-cal equipment operators ($26.60) and electrical line workers ($33.46). The transportation sec-tor is seeing similar job and wage growth. Minnesota’s trade, transportation and utili-ties sectors will experience 10.7 percent growth be-tween 2010 and 2020, add-ing more than 52,000 jobs. Typical hourly wages

are growing 4 to 7 percent for sectors such as auto-motive technician ($18.65) and heavy equipment re-pair ($25.78). College leaders also highlighted that it is esti-mated that 30 percent of Americans with associ-ate degrees are paid more than those with bachelor’s degrees, according to Georgetown University’s Center on Education and

the Workforce. Recent research in sev-eral states shows that on average, community col-lege graduates right out of school make more than graduates of four-year universities, according to a 2013 CNN report. More about the college is at DCTC.edu.

took a job as an editor for Keyboard Magazine and wrote about the San Fran-cisco music scene. After a few years, he moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a mar-keting manager for Avid

Technology. While there, Krogh was responsible for launching new products, such as keyboards, studio reference monitors and software, into the market. Krogh moved back to Minnesota in 2010 to take a job as McNally’s division chair of produc-

tion and contemporary writing. At the time, the school had reorganized its composition department and combined it with pro-duction and writing. While in L.A. Krogh routinely worked with interns from McNally Smith, which piqued his

interest in pursuing a ca-reer in academics. “I felt that I could re-ally help young aspiring music professionals, so I decided to return to Min-nesota,” he said. While at McNally Krogh has continued to produce music and over

the years he has produced music for national and in-ternational brands such as Fox Sports, Microsoft, Verizon, Ubisoft, and Ad-idas, and has earned two Telly Awards for his origi-nal compositions. With more than 300 music placements to his

credit, Krogh’s music can be heard on programs from such networks as the History Channel, MS-NBC, Tru TV, Bravo and National Geographic. Jessica Harper is at [email protected] or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Apple Valley man dies in motorcycle crash An Apple Valley man died Sunday, Oct. 11, fol-lowing a motorcycle crash in Eden Prairie. Joshua L. Larson, 25, was exiting Highway 212 onto Valley View Road at about 6:20 p.m. when

his Honda motorcycle jumped the median into oncoming traffic, striking two vehicles, according to the Minnesota State Pa-trol. Larson, who was wear-ing a helmet, was trans-

ported to Hennepin Coun-ty Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. No other injuries were re-ported. Larson was a 2008 graduate of Eastview High School, where he played

football and lacrosse. He was attending Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, studying to become a technician for heavy construction ma-chinery, and also worked at UPS.

He is survived by his parents, Dan and Deb Larson; sister, Brooke; and grandmother, There-sa. A funeral service has been planned for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at South

Suburban Evangelical Free Church in Apple Val-ley. Visitations are sched-uled from 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, at the church as well as one hour prior to the Saturday service.

ThisweekendThisweekend‘Jekyll & Hyde’ musical runs Oct. 23-Nov. 1 in Lakeville

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


It’s no coincidence The Play’s The Thing Produc-tions chose late October to launch its run of “Je-kyll & Hyde” at the Lake-ville Area Arts Center. The “Gothic pop-rock musical thriller” practi-cally screams Halloween, according to director and producer Dayna Railton. “Whenever you can connect a show to Hal-loween or some event or holiday, how fun is that? You take these opportuni-ties when they come,” said Railton, who founded the Lakeville-based theater group in 2009. Based on the 1997 Broadway musical, which is itself based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” the Lakeville production seeks to capture the atmosphere and psyche of Victorian England. The gentlemen in the play all carry canes,

and the syringe Dr. Hyde uses to inject his experi-mental serum looks like something borrowed from a museum of antiquated medical supplies. Set in London in 1886, the musical follows Dr. Je-kyll as he tries to create a cure for his mentally ill fa-ther. Testing the serum on himself, he is transformed into the monstrous Mr. Hyde. “ ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ has become part of our vo-cabulary, when it comes to the duality of the hu-man mind,” Railton said. “What’s interesting about this show is that Jekyll doesn’t become evil be-cause of something within himself, but because of the drug — it unleashes his dark side.” The cast of about 30 teens and adults was drawn from throughout the Twin Cities area. Jared Allen Mogen, of Minneapolis, is cast in the dual role of Jekyll and Hyde, while the other two leading actors — Jackie O’Neil, of Ros-eville, and April Bailey, of Eagan — playing the char-acters Lucy Harris and Emma Carew. The production opens

Oct. 23, with six shows scheduled through Nov. 1. The performance sched-uled for Halloween — on Saturday, Oct. 31 — will include a party and meet-and-greet with the cast following the show that’s open to all audience mem-bers. Guests at the Oct. 31 performance are encour-aged to wear Halloween costumes. “Jekyll & Hyde” is the third in what Railton re-fers to as the “Victorian trilogy” presented by The Play’s The Thing. The theater group staged “A Christmas Carol” in late 2014, followed by “Oli-ver!” in May of this year. The Play’s The Thing is switching gears in Decem-ber when it will present “Elf: The Musical,” based on the hit 2003 Christmas comedy film starring Will Ferrell. Show times for “Jekyll & Hyde” are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23-24 and 30-31, and 2 p.m. Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. Tickets are $14 and are available at www.Lakevil-leAreaArtsCenter.com or by calling 952-985-4640.

Stories of romance, earthly and unearthlyMichel Prince

featured at ‘Meet the Author’ event

in Rosemount by Andrew Miller


True love can take other-worldly forms in the fiction of Michel Prince. Dabbling in writing since high school, the Twin Cities author decided to get seri-ous about her fiction in 2010 while in early 30s. She’s seen publication of 16 novels — half of them in the paranor-mal romance genre. “I’ve loved the Under-world movie franchise and when I watched ‘Twilight’ I thought the book has to be better and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about,” Prince, of North St. Paul, said of her initial interest in paranormal fiction. “Then I read ‘Dark Lov-er’ by J.R. Ward, moving on to all the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and I couldn’t put them down. I was in the mansion and looking for the secret world we’re all missing. That’s when I randomly chose three paranormal books to see if I liked more than these few. One of those was Sher-rilyn Kenyon’s first in the Dark-Hunter series and I’d found a mentor.” Of the other eight nov-els she’s had published, one is science fiction, seven are straight-up romance — quite prolific for a writer with a full-time job (she tele-commutes with a Twin Cit-ies-based health service) and a second job shooting stock photos for book covers. Prince will be discussing her latest book, the romance “Triple B Baking Co.,” as the featured speaker at the “Meet the Author” event at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. Admission is free to the event organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Prince spoke with this newspaper recently about her writing habits, her lit-erary influences, and why working on more than one book at a time can fuel the creative process. Q: What is your writing strategy? Do you have any writing rituals? A: I’m what is called a “panser” — I write the

scenes as they come to me. I am trying to plot out my books more, but it’s always exciting to have a book come to life and surprise me as I go. As far as writing, I usually have music going and try to be in touch with a few other writers so we can sprint. It’s a way of checking in every hour to make sure we’re both getting words on the page. I do have a daily writing goal so I always get something written every day. Q: What’s on your writ-ing desk? A: I usually move around with my laptop. Sometimes

I’m on my deck, kitchen table, or the recliner. I also write in between my son’s games at tournaments. Q: What are you working on now? Any book projects in the works? A: I have four books in the works — it’s just my process. It helps me avoid writer’s block because if one set of c h a r a c t e r s won’t talk to me, another one will. Q: Which authors have inspired you? A: Judy Blume and S h e r r i l y n Kenyon are probably two of my biggest influences. Q: What are you reading right now? A: I’m getting ready to start “The Yellow Rose Beauty Shop” by Carolyn Brown. Q: What was the last tru-ly great book you read?

A: I really enjoyed “In-visible” by James Patterson and I really was impressed with “Defending Jacob” by William Landay. Q: You’ve written a

number of paranormal romance n o v e l s — what p a r a -n o r m a l romance b o o k s , other than your own, do you rec-ommend to readers in-terested in the genre? A : D a r y n d a J o n e s ’ s Grave series is a “must

buy” for me. J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series changed how I looked at writing and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s League or Dark-Hunter series. They are all my favorites.
