While national headlines about troop drawdowns take the spotlight, Edina military mom Rachel Hause said she is “flabbergasted” when people are unaware that deployments are still happening. “It’s important for communities not to forget we’re not done sending people to noncombat zones,” she said. So Hause finds comfort with other military mothers and grandmothers who are all too familiar with the reality of deployment. On Saturday, May 18, more than 100 military moms and grandmothers came together for a luncheon put on by the Farmington Yellow Ribbon Network at St. Michael’s Church. The women enjoyed a meal, pampering, bingo and prizes, but mostly it was a way to connect with people who have had similar experiences. “It’s nice getting a chance to meet all these people whose paths wouldn’t have crossed,”

Rosemount High School brought home the reality of distracted or impaired driving to a junior and senior student assembly Thursday, May 16.

The Minnesota Wild’s season might be over, but those who are still itching to watch professional hockey, Leprechaun Days has something special. As part of the celebration, there will be an NHL players charity game at the Rosemount Community Center and Ice Arena on July 25. As many as 30 NHL

players are scheduled to participate, including Rosemount’s J.T. Brown, who played with the Tampa Bay Lightning. “People can enjoy an NHL game without having nosebleed seats,” said Chris Bichler, director of Rosemount’s Blue Line Hockey Club. “You get to meet the players and see them play up close. It’s nice for people who aren’t able to get up to the Xcel (Energy Center) to watch

The official results of the testing will not be available for another week or two, but the symptoms are consistent with a norovirus.

Fewer students purchasing school lunch More fruit, vegetables getting tossed in Lakeville, Farmington by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Fewer students are eating school lunch in Lakeville, Farmington and around the country following new federal rules that restricted calories, increased food mandates and added pricing requirements. Lakeville Schools saw 3 to 10 percent drops in the amount of students purchasing school lunches, after new mandates of the 2010 Hunger Free Healthy Kids Act took effect this fall, Gayle Smalley-Rader, Lakeville Schools student nutrition supervisor told the School Board at its May 14 meeting. Under the federal mandates, every school lunch must include fresh fruits and vegetables and limit calories to 650 for elementary grades, 700 calories for grades 6-8 and 850 calories for grades 9-12. Trans fats were eliminated from school food menus and sugar and sodium have been reduced; all breads served to students must be at least 51 percent whole grain. The program intends to encourage healthy choices and reduce childhood obesity, but much of the program’s good intentions is literally going to waste. Lakeville South High School junior Ryan Donovan said many students are directed by food service workers to take a fruit to get the discounted rate, which they do, but many are not eating it. “You see a lot of kids like grabbing the food just to throw it away,” Donovan said. Under the federal require-

Students settle in for lunch at Century Middle School, where participation in the district’s school lunch program is down 10 percent from last year. (Photo by Laura Adelmann) ments, students must take a halfcup serving of fruit or vegetable to get the school lunch price and for the district to get its federal reimbursement. Students who do not take the fruit or vegetable are charged the higher a la carte prices. Lakeville South junior Cody Kairis said he also sees “a lot of kids wasting the vegetables if they have to dump them onto their tray.” The amount of uneaten food being thrown away this year was enough to cause Lakeville school lunch officials to issue a plea to parents in January after McGuire Middle School cooks counted over 170 servings of uneaten fruit and unopened juice being thrown away every day. According to the January Student Nutrition Update, other schools had been reporting the same trend. The issue was highlighted in a red-type paragraph under a red, bold, underlined headline, in capitalized letters telling parents; “We need your help!” “It will help us if you talk

with your children about how wasteful it is to throw food away,” the notice said. David Domack, Waste Management public relations manager, implements the company’s organics recycling program that started in four Lakeville schools this year and will be in all of them by next fall. Domack said he sees many uneaten fruits and vegetables being thrown away, and the district’s volume of organics waste has doubled since the program was implemented this year. “About 95 percent of it is food waste, produce and food prep,” he said. Domack added that health laws ban fruit that has been handled from being donated to a charity or food shelf. Lakeville School Board Member Bob Erickson said parents are complaining students are still hungry after eating the school lunches. “As board members, we’re receiving a lot of feedback how this impacts especially students in the secondary system,” Erick-

son said. “And why parents have returned to bag lunches.” Since the changes in the food program, parent Holly Ingling of Farmington said her teenagers “come home and eat another meal.” Her children, Ahna and Nathan Wilson, said they have noticed many changes in the Farmington school food program that include smaller portions, fewer choices and higher prices. Ahna Wilson, a Farmington High School junior, said she loves salads but is forced to put croutons on it. “There’s so many regulations now, it’s hard to get what you want,” she said. “You didn’t used to have to get red sauce or meat sauce, but now you have to get that. Some people are vegetarians, but you still have to get meat on your pasta.” Nathan Wilson, a Dodge Middle School eighth-grader, said half the apples students are forced to take are being thrown away, and water cup sizes were reduced so much that many students stand by the cooler refilling the cups multiple times before sitting down. Peggy Anderberg, Farmington Schools food service director, said the district nearly tripled the amount of apples it offers at the high school, going from using four to 14 cases weekly. At the high school, Anderberg said they have sold half of what they planned, and company costs are up because produce and whole grain products are expensive. She said they are trying to develop new marketing strategies to try to build sales next year.

paid meals from being subsidized by the federal reimbursement for free meals. Next year, elementary students will pay $2.25 for lunch, the middle school lunch price will be $2.35 and high school students will pay $2.40; adult school lunches will increase to $3.50. Even with next year’s lunch price increase, Smalley-Rader is predicting funding challenges. Fewer meals sold in Lakeville has cut federal and state reimbursements from $1.07 million last year to $795,489 now. Smalley-Rader said Lakeville’s food service account will have a $50,000 deficit next year, but they have a strong enough fund balance to cover the decline for several more years in hopes that participation levels out. “It’s projected by many people that are in support of this program that participation will increase,” Smalley-Rader said. She said she is trying to encourage parents that the school lunches are a better value than sending lunches from home and believes students will come back. She also said she plans to understand what parents want and find ways to meet those needs within the federal rules. School Board Member Michelle Volk disagreed, predicting school lunch participation will continue to drop until changes are made. “You can do all the proportion in the world you would like to,” Volk said. “But children are coming home complaining about lunch. As a parent, you want to do whatever it takes to make sure they have nutrition, Prices that they’re not saying ‘Mom, At Lakeville schools, lunch I’m hungry.’ ” prices will increase 5 cents next year to comply with the federal Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmandates that prohibit student- mann@ecm-inc.com.

May 23, 2013 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Special education funding system needs to be repaired The number of students who have special needs in Minnesota is growing and the funding system to educate them needs to be repaired. Each student with special needs has an individual education plan that by law must be funded. All children including those with special needs have an equal right to an education as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. They also have a right to the same funding as all children. The problem comes when the cost of mandated individualized programs for special needs children is greater than the state and federal funds provided. Local school districts then by law must pick up the extra cost from their general funds, causing school boards to cut funds and opportunities for all students. In 1967 Congress passed a law requiring school districts to have an individual plan for each learning disabled child and

ECM Editorial promised to provide 40 percent of the funding. The state of Minnesota also is expected to provide funds to educate these children. At no time was it suggested that local school districts would have to fund what the federal and state governments refused to provide. Look at what’s happened in Minnesota alone. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, in 2012 it cost $1.8 billion to fund these individual plans. The state and federal government covered $1.2 billion forcing local school districts to bolster special education funding by almost $600 million from their general operating funds. Had the federal and state governments

paid what was promised – another $450 million – local school districts would have had to pay only $150 million more last year. Obviously this system is broken. There has been no action by either the federal or state governments to close the funding gap that compels the diversion of local school district funds from programs for all to the cost of mandated IEPs. The federal government is content with the underfunded status quo. Gov. Mark Dayton had budgeted an extra $125 million for special education. State legislators would rather spread any new funding to their local districts, rather than give more to districts that educate many of the disabled learners. A leading advocate for children with learning disabilities contends that a local school district’s subsidy of the funding gap is part of the community’s responsibility to educate all children. She notes

that students with special needs also lose opportunities when districts cut operating budgets. In a survey taken by ECM education columnist Joe Nathan, 40 Minnesota school superintendents said their No. 1 priority for the federal government is full funding of special education. We favor a concerted effort to have the federal and state governments live up to their commitments, because after all they are the ones who mandate that these IEPs be funded. Until the people rise up and demand that the federal and state governments live up to their promises, under-funding will continue and students who have no IEPs will continue to feel the loss of educational opportunities they deserve.

Catholic pastor finds healing from despair by the Rev. Paul Jarvis SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There are few things more painful than raised expectations that are either not realized in one’s lifetime or seem unrealizable. I was a little kid when the Catholic Christian bishops of the world gathered in the Vatican for an ecumenical council. As observers at the Second Vatican Council were even representatives of the Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Orthodox, Methodist and Lutheran churches. I am pretty sure that bishops dialogued with these representatives, especially on Christ’s desire that “all of them (His disciples) may be one” (Gospel of John 17:21). The spirit of ecumenism quickly swept through all the mainline Christian denominations in the 1960s. With Christians now regarding other denominations less as heretics, and more as sisters and brothers in Christ. Back in the day, you didn’t talk about religion with colleagues and neighbors because it could really cause a lot of trouble. On so many different levels. So Christians of all creedal traditions kept their talk of being favored in the eyes of God to their places of worship, where preachers too often defined their particular faith as not being “them.” That is, not being like some “heretical and wrongminded” community of hell-bound cult members. And so the ecumenical movement – amped up with Vatican II, and really embraced by long feuding denominations – was, for many Americans, something like a spiritual migraine finally lifting. Back in the 1970s, when I was a teen, it wasn’t uncommon for congregations and parishes to collaborate on ministries of common interest. Spiritual retreats.

Guest Columnist

Rev. Paul Jarvis Youth ministry. Assistance to the needy, hospitalized and imprisoned. Bible studies and prayer groups. I even remember pastors being welcomed into other denomination’s churches to preach … in addition to the local pastor’s sermon, of course. Here’s how good it got: Most Christians even began to regard other Christian traditions as … hold onto your seat … Christian. I think if you were to ask the typical Christian 40 and 50 years ago about the new ecumenical spirit sweeping the world, they would have said either: “It just feels right,” or: “It’s just very Christian.” Sort of how people reacted when they saw photos of Pope Francis wash the feet of young prisoners – Christian and non-Christian – in Rome. Well, the 1980s and 1990s were not a good time for ecumenism. Mainline Christian denominations were decreasing in numbers. With many members staying home. Or fleeing to churches that too-often defined themselves as not “them.” Those unfamiliar with actual research in this field would prematurely blame the ecumenical movement for this decline. In the Catholic Christian Church, in spite of Pope John Paul’s ecumenical interest – he even asked world religious leaders to suggest how his Petrine ministry could of use in achieving greater unity – Catholic pastors began to focus on the growing needs of ever-larger par-

ishes with ever-fewer priests. Adding just one more thing to an overworked Catholic pastor’s workload proved to be too daunting. So for about three decades, ecumenical initiatives were back-burnered. And not just in Catholic parishes. For a Catholic teen who actually thought that Christ’s desire for unity was being realized, it was disheartening to have my and others’ raised expectations dashed. Or at least shelved. You can imagine how pleased I was when I first came to Dakota County as I received eight phone calls and emails from local congregations’ pastors … welcoming me. A Catholic pastor! It gets better. My fellow St. Joseph Church parishioners and I have been invited to the interdenominational CrossWalk on Good Friday in Eagan as well as the Rosemount Thanksgiving Eve Service at Rosemount Methodist. And I meet fairly frequently with Community of Hope’s pastor. Of course, if there’s collaboration to be done between churches, I can always count on the indomitable pastor of Lighthouse Church. Recently, just prior to a beautiful musical performance by the renowned Basilica of St. Mary choir, choral members and choir directors from local congregations gathered at St. Joe’s … just to get to know each other. And dream dreams of what we could do together through a possible regional choir. What’s more, come the first Saturday of October, area pastors of varying traditions have said they will come to St. Joe’s annual Blessing of the Animals and join this recuperating-open-heart-surgery St. Joe’s pastor in blessing snakes, birds, dogs, cats, gold fish, spiders, and alpacas. The ecumenical and loving spirit of this area’s churches began to lift my despair over unfulfilled ecumenical expec-

tations. And then a truly Christian thing happened that actually brought tears to my eyes. While I was recovering in the hospital from an aortic dissection, I received calls, emails, Facebook entries, texts, cards and CaringBridge notes from an incredible number of pastors and congregants all across the denominational spectrum. I even got a heart-warming message from a pastor whose denomination’s national leadership still considers Catholic Christians as “them.” Not only that, but I understand that members of congregations I didn’t even know existed – as well as those very prominent in Dakota County – were praying for me in their services, their liturgies, their prayer gatherings, their Masses, their healing gatherings, their Bible studies. Non-Catholic churches’ bulletins were even listing my website so that members could send their regards and prayers: www.CaringBridge.org/ visit/FatherPaulJarvis. (Keep on sending them. They continue to make me smile.) You know, it’s as if I had actually died and gone to heaven. Maybe, just maybe, we needed a 30-year hiatus for the ecumenical spirit to reignite and spread throughout the region. The country. The world. It frankly was the best get-well message I could ever receive. Frankly, there are just too many pastors and congregants to thank here. Anyway, Jesus knows who you are. Please know that you are near and dear to this no longer despairing Christian. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Letters Church reference questioned To the editor: I am writing in response to the story on Rep. Pat Garofalo’s conversion to a yes vote on the marriage amendment. This is not a defense of marriage or a questioning of the biblical interpretations of homosexuality. I am neither clergy nor an attorney. What I am is a Catholic. I too attend All

Saints parish in Lakeville. I have had the honor and the privilege to be shepherded by great priests, all of whom are on the record in their communion with the churches teaching on gay marriage. What troubles me, is that the author felt it was so germane to the story to acknowledge Garofalo’s connection with All Saints Catholic Church. To me, this was a not so clever attempt to give Garofalo some cover on

a contentious issue, by implying that perhaps he sought the counsel of the Catholic Church. Why was only the Catholic Church singled out in the story? Why was this bit of information so vital, it was placed in the second paragraph? What homilies have I missed that may have helped Garofalo to change his mind, in a way that the Catholic Church would sanction his vote. Was there any attempt to talk to state

Set free the desire for freedom To the editor: I was very excited to see the chairman of a DFL Senate District, Steve Quist, congratulate state Rep. Pat Garofalo, RFarmington, for his vote on gay marriage. What was really shocking was that Quist was a Democrat and he talked about giving more freedom to people – something Democrats normally oppose as much as possible. Don’t get me wrong, most Republicans may talk about increasing freedom, but never really do anything about it. Since Quist is excited about providing people more freedom, I would like to offer some other areas for Quist to explore and possibly help the Democratic party do a 180 on the freedom issue. Start with opposing Obamacare and letting people choose their own health care provider, whether in-state, out-ofstate, or international. How about even not forcing people to buy health care if they don’t want it? Oppose forcing ev-

eryone to contribute to the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security. How about stop forcing everyone to contribute to Medicare and forcing seniors to use it? Surely, people must see the lack of freedom in these two programs? Obtain a concealed carry permit and go “packing” to the next DFL convention. When they tell him at the door that guns are not permitted in Democrat functions, he can tell them it is time for that “change” President Obama keeps talking about. Fight for more private education, the ability for people to trade for goods in the currency of their choice, including gold, and the end of taking people’s money and giving it to foreign governments under the crazy name of ‘foreign aid.” I hope all these new issues don’t overwhelm Quist, but once someone discovers freedom it really is difficult to contain the desire.

Instead they forced the Minnesota government to shutdown, squandered the state’s reserve, raided the tobacco fund and cheated on the obligation to pay schools. Since this was still not sufficient to operate in the black they also incurred a $5.8 billion deficit. Just like if you don’t pay your bills on time, taxpayers now have to make up for being arrears plus pick up the cost of service charges and the interest cost. Instead of helping to repair this damage, Rep. Mary Liz Holberg, Rep. Pat Garofalo and Sen. Dave Thompson are disparaging, obstructing and poisoning. If your minister tells the membership to reduce their contributions as this will make the congregation flourish you will think he has lost his senses. Yet, this is the only idea in Republicans heads because it appeals to their “freeloaders” mentality and dodges responsibility. They just don’t want to face the fact that we have to pay for our life and our HAL CRANMER government.

Community groups and businesses that would like to connect with hundreds of potential volunteers or customers can snap up one of the few remaining spaces available during the Mid-Summer Faire in Central Park during Rosemount Leprechaun Days. The deadline has been extended from May 15 to May 31. “We think this is a great way for people to connect with others in the community who might not be aware of their work,” Leprechaun Days Committee President Diane Wellman said. “It’s a really fun time.” The fair, which will be Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27, has been used in the past as a fundraiser for service clubs or as a marketing opportunity for area businesses. Tent sites are 10 feet by 12 feet, and trailer sites are 10 feet by 25 feet. Site fees are: • Organizations or youth groups selling nonfood items, $100 • Organizations or youth groups, selling food, $150 • Rosemount business or commercial, selling non-food items, $150 • Rosemount business or commercial, selling food, $200 • Non-Rosemount business or commercial, selling non-food items, $200 • Non-Rosemount business or commercial, selling food items, $300 Vendors, organizations and youth groups need to obtain a roaming permit to sell items throughout Mid-Summer Faire and Leprechaun Days. Those permits are $100 each. This year’s Mid-Summer Faire will feature Arch Allies, a Styx, Journey and REO Speedwagon tribute band, on Friday night and Sweet Siren, a modern rock cover band,

Providers could form union Dakota County providers, lawmakers factor in the debate by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In a stormy climax, the Democratic House passed child care and personal care attendant unionization legislation on Monday, May 20. The 68-66 vote brought cheers from union activists in the House gallery and catcalls from Republicans on the floor. “Let them applaud,” a Republican shouted at House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, as the Thissen gaveled for quiet. “They own the place,” a Republican yelled. The vote could set in motion a process by which union activists, supplied with lists from the state, would collect signatures from child care providers and personal care attendants receiving state subsides. An election, by mail ballot, would take place if at least 30 percent of providers eligible to vote indicated a wish to join a union. Darleen Henry of Rosemount, a personal care provider since her mother suffered a stroke about two years ago, was outside the House chamber with other activists after the vote. “I feel like I have someone who’s there for me, someone behind my back,” Henry said of a union. “I know we don’t have a union yet, but I feel it’s at least a possibility now.” Henry views the union as a means of getting additional training. Another activist outside the House chamber was Becky Swanson, a Lakeville child care provider. Swanson spoke of filing suit in federal court to stop the vote. “We’ll fight this for eight years,” Swanson said. One of the plaintiffs in the successful suit against Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, when the governor attempted to call an unionization election by executive order, Swanson isn’t sur-

prised a unionization effort is taking place in Minnesota. “Minnesota is union-friendly state,” she said. She has nothing against unions, Swanson said, but child care providers are private businesses. Debate on the House floor was emotional. Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, said she and her husband have owned rental property and have rented to people receiving government assistance. “Are we next?” Scott asked of possible unionization. “Are landlords next?” Rep. Sarah Anderson, RPlymouth, dismissed the idea the legislation was about bettering the lives of providers and improving the quality of child care. “It’s money. It’s all about money,” Anderson said of unions collecting dues. House Deputy Minority Leader Jennifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, appealed to Democrats to take a tough vote and vote “no.” “Search your heart and your conscious,” Loon said. “Be courageous.” A handful of House Democrats, including Rep. Tim Faust, DFL-Hinckley, voted with Republicans against the bill. But it wasn’t enough. Rep. Michael Nelson, DFLBrooklyn Park, House bill author, said the legislation does not tell parents or providers how to raise children, nor does it form a union. It’s about getting right to vote, Nelson said. “This bill is about ensuring the basic rights of undervalued workers to choose for themselves if they want to collectively bargain for better wages,” Nelson said in a prepared statement. “These workers, who are predominately women, now have an opportunity to bargain for improvements in their lives and the lives of the children, seniors and people with disabilities they serve.” The unionization legislation

passed the Democratic-led Senate on a 35-32 vote after a 17hour, all-night floor session. Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley sided with Republicans in voting against the bill. Speaking after the House floor session, Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, said bill opponents were carefully monitoring the legislative debate for possible inclusion into a lawsuit. Mack felt they would have a good case. Mack, who has a young son and is pregnant, spoke on the House floor about her family’s concerns with day care. Her heart breaks, she said, for the mothers receiving Child Care Assistance Program funding, a state subsidy. Like other Republicans, Mack believes day care providers, in attempting to escape the union, will simply refuse to accept children receiving state subsides. “They (CCAP mothers) will be rejected time after time after time,” she said. Minnesota had 351,000 wage and salary workers in unions in 2012 with another 17,000 represented by a union on their main job or covered by an employee association or contract, though not union members themselves, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Union membership is heavily skewed toward the public sector. Nationally about 36 percent of public sector employees belonged to unions, against only about 6.6 percent of workers in the private sector, according to the bureau. About 57 percent of Minnesota public sector jobs were unionized in 2012, according to unionstats.com, an Internet data resource providing private and public sector labor union membership and density estimates. Only about 8 percent of Minnesota private sector jobs were unionized, according to the site. Email T.W. Budig tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount police chase intoxicated Corvette driver When Rosemount police responded to a 1:34 a.m. complaint about vehicles racing on the roadway on May 8, they soon became involved in their own race. The criminal complaint details the following: When police arrived at the area, they saw tire marks on the roadway consistent with exhibition driving. The only vehicle in the area was a Corvette convertible. As the officer followed the vehicle, which crossed the solid center divider of the road, the officer activated his lights and sirens. Instead of pulling over, the driver led police on southbound on Brockway Avenue, turning eastbound onto Brass Parkway and accelerating around the corner as it turned. The Corvette continued through the residential area and turned into a resident’s driveway. The driver rapidly opened the door and was taken into custody. The driver, Mark Ethan Illetschko, 35, of Inver Grove Heights, had a strong alcohol smell and slurred speech, according to the complaint. At the police department, he agreed to a blood test, which was sent for analysis at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle is a felony-level charge that carries up to three years plus one day of jail time and a $5,000 fine. Illetschko also faces two gross misdemeanor counts of driving while impaired. Each holds a maximum sentence of one year and a $3,000 fine. Illestschko was convicted of driving under the influence

in 2009 in Yellow Medicine County. He also faced reckless and careless driving charges in Dakota County in 2005, but those were dismissed and he was convicted of public nuisance and driving without proof of insurance. - Theresa Malloy

Woman kicks, spits at officers Rosemount police had a bit of a struggle trying to send a Rosemount woman to detox on May 9. Police went to the Rosemount residence where a woman reportedly “needed to be removed due to her hostility and level of intoxication,” according to the criminal complaint. The high level of intoxication quickly became apparent to officers. Nancy Dee Al-Kordi, 49, of Rosemount kicked one of the officers in the groin during a pat search, and she then spat at one of the officers as she was put into the back of the squad car, the criminal complaint states. Her spit landed on an officer’s uniform and shoes, the complaint details. Al-Kordi has run into past legal trouble with a few disorderly conduct charges as well as drinking-related incidents and assault. She has been on probation since 2012. Assault of an officer in the fourth degree is a felony charge with a maximum penalty of three years and $6,000. At a probation violation on May 16, Al-Kordi was convicted of the charges, which were lessened to a gross misdemeanor, according to court documents. Al-Kordi is currently serving a 30-day sentence in jail and will continue her probation. Part of her probation will include a chemical dependency evaluation/treatment. - Theresa Malloy

Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty, who is also a chairwoman of the Farmington Royalty Committee, asked if city vehicles could pull the new Farmington Royalty float at parades earlier this month. City employees have advised against this for liability reasons and citing it could affect the budget due to fuel costs and risk of exposure to future claims. “Our vehicles are meant for city business first and foremost. The use of any vehicle for this request cannot interrupt its use in the course of a normal city work day,” City Administrator Dave McKnight wrote in a memo to the council.

At the Capitol Republicans take aim at tax bill DFL votes send bills to governor’s desk Lawmakers pass several budget bills in closing days

Democrats close $627 million state budget deficit by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The DFL-controlled Legislature voted to taxthe-rich, smokers and close corporate loopholes in raising about $2 billion in new taxes in its omnibus tax bill. The Senate took its vote May 20 shortly before the Legislature adjourned until next year. The tax bill closes the $627 million state budget deficit, fuels education funding and provides tax relief for homeowners and renters. It creates a fourth-tier income tax rate at 9.85 percent – a change snagging about $1 billion – applicable to joint married filers earning more than $250,000 in taxable income, single-filers with taxable income of more than $150,000. The income tax increase embraces the top 2 percent of taxpayers.

Republicans are not pleased. “Thank goodness the increase in the candy tax and snack tax went away,” Rep. Nick Zerwas, RElk River, said. “This bill hurts every Minnesotan.” The tax on a pack of cigarettes is increased by $1.60 under the tax bill. The increase is about more than raising money, Democrats argue. “I view it as a public health imperative,” House Tax Committee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington, said. Senate Tax Committee Rod Skoe, DFL-Clearbrook, a former smoker, said he had never voted for a cigarette tax increase before. “This is one of the hardest issues for me,” he said. But Skoe found the health argument compelling. Sen. Sean Nienow, RCambridge, called the

tobacco tax increase as Democrats taking “politically correct” money. Changes to tobacco taxes are expected to garner $430 million.

Fourth tier

Cart | Range | $25 Gas Card | Foursome Required

About 54,400 Minnesota resident tax returns, or about 2.1 percent of filers, will fall under the fourthtier income tax rate. Ninety-eight percent of Minnesota taxpayers will see no income tax increase, according to the Governor’s Office. A married couple with a taxable income of $617,000 would pay about $8,400 more in taxes under the fourth-tier. A single filer with a taxable income of $428,000, under the fourth-tier, would pay an additional $5,500. Minnesota’s 9.85 percent tax rate would be fifth highest in the country. Republicans were critical of the bill not only for what was in it, but what wasn’t. “What’s unfortunate, we did not make our veterans a priority in the bill,” Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, said. Wills had pursued a veterans tax hiring credit. “It’s not necessary, and not needed,” Rep. Joe McDonald, R-Delano, said of the tax increases. The tax bill passed the House on a party line 7158 vote; it passed the Senate on a 36-30 vote. Debate in the Senate also had Republicans standing on the floor condemning the tax bill. “These taxes are really about envy,” Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, said of tax-the-rich. “This bill will make us a high tax island,” Sen.

courts, when placing a person, including juveniles, charged with committing crimes of violence into a pretrial diversion programs to transmit the information as soon as practicable to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. By July 1, 2014, courts must electronically enter into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System information on all persons civilly committed during the period from January 1, 1994, to September 28, 2010, not yet entered. Democratic legislative leaders set aside the issue of gun-purchase background checks, with House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFLMinneapolis, saying no consensus could be reached on guns.

Transportation Transportation advocates were hopeful that additional transportation funding would emerge from the session. The governor, House and Senate transportation leaders proposed a variety of tax increases – Dayton looked to a metro-wide sales tax increase for transit, for instance. But ultimately lawmakers passed a $5.2 billion transportation finance bill, containing no new taxes other than a statewide $10 county wheelage tax option. Contained in the bill is $37 million in general-fund, one-time funding to the Metropolitan Council for Southwest Light Rail. Rep. Michael Beard, R-Shakopee, considered the funding one of the “barnacles” on the bill. The transportation finance bill contains $300 million in bonding slated to so-called corridors of commerce. Hornstein, summing up his bill, said lawmakers are watchful and anxious to get funding for their local transportation projects. But they shy away from raising enough transportation funding to do it. “That’s a problem. That’s an ongoing problem,” Hornstein said. The omnibus transportation policy bill dealt with more than motor vehicles. One provision makes it legal for bicyclists to use a horn or bell to alert motorists and pedestrians a bicycle is approaching. This wasn’t legal before. Email T.W. Budig at tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

TAX BILL, from 8A Julianne Ortman, RChanhassen, said. Sen. Dan Hall, RBurnsville, described the Democratic taxing philosophy predatory. “If they got a need – let’s tax them,” Hall said.

Other provisions

online sale tax provision for out-of-state retailers with affiliates in Minnesota selling on their behalf. That is expected to capture $10 million. In terms of tax relief, the bill exempts cities and counties from paying the sales tax for most purchases, a $172 million savings to local government. Under the bill, some 300,000 homeowners will see their property tax refund increase, and another 100,000 additional homeowners will receive a refund, Democrats say. The tax bill contains no alcohol tax increases. A Mayo Destination Medical Center provision is included in the tax bill. It anticipates the state investing a maximum of $327 million over 27 years after the clinic, City of Rochester, and Olmsted County make sufficient investments. The tax bill extends Mall of America TIF districts to spur Phase Two mall expansion.

In addition to closing perceived corporate loopholes – a closure capturing $400 million – a 10 percent gift tax is imposed. For the gift tax, a lifetime credit of $100,000 is provided, and a taxpayer can give up to $13,000 a year without counting toward their $1 million exemption. The tax bill does not include the sweeping sales tax reforms originally proposed by Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, but it does expand the sales tax to non-consumer warehousing and storage, repair and maintenance of electronic equipment and commercial and industrial machinery. The tax bill contains an Email T.W. Budig at Internet “Amazon Tax” tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Hause said. Hause’s brother served in Vietnam, and she said it was a different time because the draft meant everyone knew someone in the military. “Now it’s the 1 percent,” she said.”We need events like this to get people together because it’s not so common today.” Hause is a mom to three in the military with two sons and a daughterin-law. One son is a Marine who is now finishing up his freshman year at the University of Chicago; her other is son in the Army, and his wife served five deployments and is now in the active reserves. Hause also connects with mothers by attending a support group for Marine mothers. Marcia Van Gorden of Minneapolis helped found one of these support groups years back. After online discussions and connecting with local military mothers, the network eventually decided to make a more official support group. Van Gorden now oversees two groups, including one that joins some outstate mothers from Wisconsin. One group has 110 members, the other 35,

and both continue to grow. The support groups are designed for women “to laugh, to cry, to share. We’re sisters of the heart,” Van Gorden said, “because we have something that binds us closer than family.” Van Gorden grew up in a military family with her father in the Army National Guard. Her relatives and husband were also in the military, and her son enlisted and is now living abroad in an Owakina, Japan, Marine Corps base. “It’s difficult, especially with family. We don’t see them as much,” Van Gorden said. But she finds peace sharing these struggles with other women to help them out. “The thing I hate the most is knowing of mothers going through this venture alone,” she said. “There are times you need to share. You could be in the grocery store and seeing cereal makes you cry. We all need someone else who knows what it was like.” Beth Frenzel of New Brighton has also started her own support group. Frenzel’s son just left about a month ago for his second deployment with the Army in Afghanistan.

She said the experience of a second deployment is “unlike anything else in life. It’s a combination of extreme pride and awe of your children and fear for their safety. It’s a difficult time. “Fear is my constant companion. But it’s not consuming me this time,” she said. She offers support and help to any mom from any branch or any rank. Sharing their experiences makes it easier, especially since most people might not know how to acknowledge a deployment if they haven’t experienced one, she said. This was the fifth annual luncheon the Farmington Yellow Ribbon Network hosted. Event chair Paulette Olson said the group plans to continue hosting the event “until no one shows up.” “I think this was the best that we had,” she said. Olson hopes to see the program continue to grow. If military mothers or grandmothers are looking for a support group, contact any Yellow Ribbon Network or Minnesota Marine Moms for more information.

Bike ride benefits Kids ’n Kinship Eight bicyclists embarked May 23 on the eighth annual Christian Elder Memorial 900, a 900mile trek from Wisconsin to Minnesota, to raise money and awareness for the Kids ’n Kinship mentoring program. “This year, we will ride through the northern part of Wisconsin,” said founder and participant John Elder. The ride is named in memory of John and wife Sherry’s son who died unexpectedly in 2007. Larry Koehler of Burns-

ville is among the team of riders. Support drivers are Dave Goodermont, Jay Saterbak and Jim Elder. The Christian Elder Memorial 900 will conclude in Apple Valley during a welcome home celebration at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 8, at Merchants Bank, 7300 147th St. W., Apple Valley.

GOVERNOR, from 1A tions soon after the session would end. Thompson sounds like a candidate when he attacks Dayton’s record. “He is taking us in the wrong direction,” Thompson said. Many states are doing what Dayton is doing, increasing taxes and increasing the cost of government, Thompson said. He used the states of Illinois and California as examples. Speculating on major issues to come into focus during the 2014 campaign, Thompson said education is always an issue and should be an issue. “There is a gap between the higher performing districts and those not getting the job done for students,” Thompson said. A healthy economy and providing jobs and opportunity must also be addressed in the campaign

for governor, Thompson said. Thompson said he was “shocked” at the degree DFLers are going after low income and middle income folks with more taxes. He said the governor and the DFL Party talk about targeting the rich but instead, “they are taxing everybody.” Two Republican candidates have already emerged. Wayzata businessman Scott Honour was the first to announce three weeks ago. Current Hennepin County Commissioner and former state legislator Jeff Johnson made his announcement before family and friends May 12 at the Hamel Community Hall, near his residence in Plymouth. With the Minnesota Legislature still in session, several potential candidates for governor are waiting until their

lawmaking business is finished for this session. The field of candidates was narrowed several weeks ago with the announcement by three potential candidates choosing not to seek the governor’s chair. Former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, 2010 unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and U.S. Rep. John Kline, 2nd District, each has announced an intent not to run for governor in 2014. Third District U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen recently announced that he would not be seeking the governor’s chair or a seat in the U.S. Senate currently held by Al Franken. Former Speaker of the House, Rep. Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, said he is “not ruling anything out” when asked about whether he is considering a run for governor in 2014. “I’m focusing on the session right now and will start think-

ing about future plans when the session is over,” he explained. Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, answered the question of whether he will run for governor with three words: “Thinking about it.” Sen. Julie Rosen, RFairmont, carried the Minnesota Vikings stadium legislation during the 2012 session. She has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor. “I’m trying to get through the session but it’s out there and I will do something, yes or no,” Rosen said. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, a former legislator, has also been mentioned as a possible GOP gubernatorial candidate. DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin of Eagan said the party’s internal polling shows Dayton with good marks. A KSTP poll recently showed him with a 45 percent approval rating, significantly higher than that of the Legislature. The two announced Republican candidates represent the extremes in Minnesota politics, Martin said. Martin believes Dayton is in a good position for reelection but since the election is a year and a half away, he said anything can happen and the DFL Party is not taking anything for granted. Steven Schier, political science professor at Carleton College, said the 2014 race for governor could be competitive because Dayton’s polling numbers at this time are far from secure. He said he believes Dayton is potentially beatable with much depending on the state of the Minnesota economy in the fall of 2014. Public reaction to hikes in taxes and spending likely to be agreed upon by the governor and Legislature will have a big impact on the election, Schier said. Schier predicts main issues of the 2014 campaign for governor will be the state economy and the actions of the DFL legislature and governor in 201314. Tax and spending increases, gay marriage, unionization of child care workers and increases in the minimum wage will likely be discussed during the election campaign, Schier said.

Rosemount sixth in state True Team finals Otterdahl first in discus for Irish boys by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount’s bid for a fifth consecutive topthree finish at the state Class AAA boys True Team track and field meet splashed to earth on a rainy Friday night at Stillwater High School. The Irish finished sixth in the nine-team state finals, about 160 points behind first-place Wayzata. Rosemount, the Section 3AAA champion, was the only South Suburban Conference team to qualify for the state boys True Team finals. Irish senior Payton Otterdahl had a solid night for the Irish, winning the discus with a throw of 159 feet, 1 inch, and taking third in the shot put at 547.5. Otterdahl threw 160-6 in the discus at the Section 3AAA True Team meet, which is the sixth-best reported throw in the state this year. The True Team finals also matched the state’s two fastest 4x100-meter

Tiger girls red-hot heading One step closer for Irish into lacrosse playoffs Farmington wins big against Rosemount, Rochester Mayo by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Every team wants to be playing its best by the end of the season, which is good news for the Farmington girls lacrosse team. The Tigers won four straight from May 14-21 beating three Big 9 teams and one South Suburban Conference team in the process. The girls toppled Rochester Mayo on Tuesday 16-2, the team’s most convincing win of the season. Shelby Klotz had four goals and Ashley Steffes and Rachael Welzin each had three. “We moved the ball the best we have in four years,” head coach Dan Pickens said. “We have now turned into the team that we used to watch in awe two years ago as they moved the ball around us with ease.” The girls honored their only senior Rathminee Hach, who scored her first varsity goal ever. The girls also defeated Section 1 teams Rochester John Marshall 12-11 and Owatonna 9-8 earlier this month. The victories should help the Tigers receive a high seed for the Section 1 tournament beginning Tuesday. The girls lost to Rochester Century early this year by two goals and to Lakeville South 17-7,

in one of the few losses decided by more than a few goals. The big victory over Mayo was the second straight blowout for the Tigers. On Monday night Farmington routed Rosemount 17-8. “We certainly came out of our shell,” Pickens said. “Rosemount is not a bad team, we just played that well.” It was a team effort with eight girls scoring at least one goal. Klotz and Welzin each had four goals. “We just played again as a team and moved the ball to the open girl and finished when we had the opportunities,” Pickens said. Pickens also highlighted the play of defender Kylee Glen, who held Rosemount’s top scorer and one of the top scorers in the state Maddie Johnson to one goal.

Boys lacrosse

a tough team to beat,” head coach Paul Sorensen said. “We just need to be more consistent in that area.” The blowout victories against John Marshall, which is in the middle of a rebuilding season, and Tech, a new program taking its lumps, were expected, according to Sorensen. Rochester Mayo broke that streak on Tuesday beating the Tigers 12-11, which was tough to take considering Mayo has the best record of any team in Section 1. The Tigers have high expectations for the playoffs, which begin on Tuesday. With no teams ranked in the top 15, the section is wide open. The Mayo loss and two early losses to Lakeville South and Rochester Century might hurt the team’s chances at a high seed, but Sorensen likes his chances. “Would love to have a do-over on both and feel the results would be different,” Sorensen said of the two early losses. “The guys are a resilient bunch that generally likes playing together so it makes the tough losses sting a bit less. They’re up to the challenge.”

Tigers softball is top seed in section playoffs Girls team is runner-up in Missota by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Farmington girls softball team is the defending Section 1AAA champion and based on the way the girls have played this spring, the coaches voted the Tigers (15-5) as the favorite to win it all again giving the girls the No. 1 seed. The girls played on Wednesday against the winner between Rochester Century or Rochester Mayo, after Sun Thisweek’s deadline. With a victory, the Tigers would play at 4 p.m. Friday at Todd Park in Austin. No one was ranked in the top 10 in Class AAA from Section 1AAA. Hastings earned the No. 3 seed after finishing 12-6.

Rochester John Marshall (13-5) is also a contender with the No. 2 seed after finishing runner-up in the Big 9 Conference, which features most of the other Section 1AAA teams. “Hastings and John Marshall are two very good teams,” head coach Paul Harrington said. “Either of them two could have easily been the No. 1 seed. I guess the process is as fair as it can be. Each team rates the other teams in the section playoff, which is basically based upon each team’s record and strength of schedule. A team does not rate themselves, so that bias is eliminated.” Owatonna (10-5) is the No. 4 seed. The Tigers won four straight last spring beating Hastings 4-3 in the semifinal and Rochester John Marshall 5-1 in the final.

“It’s a bit different feeling this year, as we want to defend our championship title and return to state,” Harrington said. “But after last year’s experiences, we know how much we wanted it, so we know a lot of other teams are hungry and will be trying to take this year’s championship away from us. We know a lot of No. 1 seeds lose out, so we aren’t even thinking about that and not taking anything for granted. “Now we need to prove we are the No. 1 team. We are viewing this tourney as everyone being equal and we will have to be at our best to win it all again.” The Tigers finished second in the Missota Conference after falling to Shakopee in a doubleheader on May 16. The Tigers kept it tight, but lost 3-2 and 1-0. Farmington was two games

behind Shakopee, ranked No. 6 in the coaches association poll last week, before the doubleheader, so the only way the Tigers could win a share of the conference title was a sweep over Shakopee. Of Farmington’s five regular season losses, four were by one run and the other was by two.

Notebook: National-caliber Farmington baseball goes hoops coming to Eagan .500 in conference by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If you’re one of those who believes there’s no such thing as too much basketball – even on a holiday weekend – the High Performance Academy in Eagan is the place for you. The Nike Elite Youth Basketball League is bringing its fourth session of the regular season to the High Performance Academy, offering wall-to-wall basketball from Friday night through Monday morning. The EYBL attracts many of the nation’s top boys high school players, including the three regarded as Minnesota’s top recruits in the Class of 2014 – Apple Valley’s Tyus Jones, De La Salle’s Reid Travis and Robbinsdale Cooper’s Rashad Vaughn. Jones and Travis are teammates on the Howard Pulley Panthers 17-andunder team. Vaughn plays for Wisconsin Playground, based in Milwaukee. Games start at 6 p.m. Friday on five courts. Howard Pulley does not play Friday night but opens against ICP Elite at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. The Panthers also play Travelers Basketball (Kentucky) at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Seattle Rotary at 8 a.m. Sunday, Team United (North Carolina) at 2 p.m. Sunday and All Ohio Red at 10:30 a.m. Monday. This weekend’s tournament closes the regular season for the Nike EYBL. Previous sessions were in Los Angeles, Hampton, Va., and Dallas. Twentyfour of the 40 teams will advance to the EYBL Finals at the Nike Peach Jam starting July 10 in North Augusta, S.C.

Tigers in wide-open Section 1AAA by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Considering the late spring and competition in the Missota Conference, Farmington baseball head coach Mike Winters was pleased with the way the team finished in the conference. The Tigers went 7-7 in the Missota, one game behind Holy Angels and Chaska. The record included doubleheader sweeps against New Prague and Chanhassen. The Tigers also split with Chaska, Shakopee and Northfield. “I was very happy with the 7-7 record in the conference,” Winters said. “We think it will be a good year for the Missota. We were two runs from being

9-5.” After a month of essentially trying to cram two months of games in the compressed time frame, teams with pitching depth were rewarded. “We definitely learned to spread the wealth on the mound,” Winters said. “It took us a week or two to figure out somewhat of a rotation.” The Tigers treated each doubleheader with the idea of saving someone for Thursday, “and do whatever we had to do to compete for a sweep on Tuesday.” Winters said. With a comfortable rotation JD Hinks, Jordan Beschorner, Spencer Merle, and Jared Lipinski with Kevin Olund in relief, the Tigers were hoping it will help make some noise in

the Section 1AAA playoffs, which began Thursday. Owatonna, Winona, Faribault and Northfield are the only teams in the Section 1AAA with double-digit victories, although with the shortened season, not every team was able to play more than 15 games. “I do believe it a wide open region,” Winters said. “Everybody has shown the ability to pick up quality wins. It’ll be fun.” The Tigers lost to Hastings 3-0 on Tuesday to close out the regular season. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Local authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first love: His hometown â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Growing Up on the Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pays homage to small-town life by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Kent Stever describes his first book as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;joyous autobiography.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing Up on the Mississippi,â&#x20AC;? set for release in June, brings together stories from Steverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth in the late 1940s and early 1950s in Winona, offering readers a Kent Stever window into a simpler era filled with paper routes, traveling circuses and soap opera-like pro wrestling events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really had a great experience growing up in Winona,â&#x20AC;? said Stever, a retired educator who lives near Lake Marion in Lakeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a different time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we had parents who lived through the Depression, parents who just came out of World War II. You had

a sense of independence, you had opportunity, and there was purpose.â&#x20AC;? Several of the stories in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing Up on the Mississippiâ&#x20AC;? first appeared in the Winona Post newspaper; others have appeared in Minnesota Moments magazine, and one appeared in book form in the Chicken Soup for the Soul anthology series. Stever spent 35 years in the Bloomington school district â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first as a math teacher, then as a high school principal and later as director of research and evaluation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before retiring 13 years ago. He continues to substitute teach in the Lakeville school district. He says he first caught the writing bug while sitting through endless administrative meetings during his years as a school principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was so much discussion, so much tedium, that I started writing letters to my kids during

The 19th annual Eagan Art Fest will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 29, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 30, at Central Park, 1501 Central Parkway, Eagan.

Search efforts by our local & statewide police forces, family, friends & community will continue. We will not stop until Mandy comes home! It is incredible how many want to help! Mandy has brought so much to our community and affected countless lives. To this point, it has been a truly inspirational effort by so many. It needs to continue until we bring Mandy home! We could only hope that if this happened to our family, people would respond the same way! No one knows how long it will take to find her or what needs to be done to support the outcome. Let’s do this NOW!
