Republicans line up to run for governor

by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Six members of the Apple Valley Police Department recently donned road gear to participate in the annual Law Enforcement United memorial bicycle ride, a 250-mile trek from Chesapeake, Va., to Washington, D.C., to honor police officers killed in the line of duty. The Apple Valley officers used their own money and did local fundraising to cover their costs for the May 10-12 ride, proceeds from which go toward a summer camp for children of fallen officers, and to help fund the Officer Down Memorial Page, a national registry of officers killed in the line of duty. Apple Valley riders, from left, were: Det. Tommie Booth, Officer Adam Tschida, Det. Brian Bone, Officer Brian Plantz, Officer Wayne Criger and Sgt. Greg Dahlstrom. Along for the trip as the Apple Valley crew’s support team were Sgt. Mark Deming; Criger’s son, Grant Criger; and Booth’s wife, Katie Booth. (Photo submitted)

Minnesota’s gubernatorial election of 2014 is 18 months away but some Republicans are flexing their muscles as official or potential candidates for the GOP nomination.

DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has already Dave indicated he Thompson will seek reelection.

Often outspoken Sen. David Thompson, R-Lakeville, says he is considering a run for governor and hoped to announce his decision the first few days after the session ended May 20. No announcement had been made See THOMPSON, 12A

Apple Valley NHL star, others to put on exhibition Up to 30 players will play in charity game

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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 Wild and for people who just love hockey.”

coach Brad Stepan and assistant Tom Smreker spearheaded the efforts to get this first-time event in Rosemount. Stepan helped sponsor these events in other communities and he’s excited to start another one.

“We’ve done two of them in Cottage Grove, and both have been a real success,” Stepan said. “It made sense to bring it to Rosemount. The community should be really excited. Last year we had 11 guys who played in the NHL all star game.”

It started with inviting Brown and Stepan’s son, Derek Stepan, who is from Hastings and plays for the New York Rangers.

They asked their teammates and friends who play professionally.

“Word of mouth started passing through the NHL community,” Bichler said. “We expect to add a few more to the list when playoffs are over. With the Stanley Cup (playoffs) still going on, I think a lot of guys are waiting See NHL, 7A

Public Safety Two charged after spending spree with stolen credit cards Police say two Apple Valley women went on a spending spree with credit cards one of them found in a wallet absentmindedly left behind by a customer in the checkout area of a local grocery store.

Jessica E. Dachel, 23, and Katie L. Scott, 22, allegedly used the stolen credit cards to purchase iPads, iPods, TV sets and other items totaling more than $3,700.

A criminal complaint filed recently in district court gives the following account:

The victim contacted Apple Valley police Jan. 28 to report the theft of her wallet and unauthorized transactions on her credit card after accidentally leaving the wallet in the checkout line at Cub Foods, 15350 Cedar Ave. Police reviewed Cub Foods video surveillance, which showed Dachel, in line behind the victim, taking the wallet and placing it in her purse when she reached the checkout. Dachel then purchased a frozen pizza using her own debit card.

According to statements provided by Dachel and Scott to investigators, after taking the wallet Dachel called Scott and the two decided to use the credit cards to make purchases. They first drove to the Target store on Pilot Knob Road in Apple Valley, where Scott used a stolen credit card to purchase two TVs, two iPods, and an iPad, with the items totaling just over $1,700.

The duo then drove to the Target store on Cedar Avenue in Apple Valley, where Scott

used a stolen credit card to buy an iPad, a docking station and multiple gift cards, with a total purchase price of approximately $2,050.

Dachel and Scott then headed to Walgreen’s, 15250 Cedar Ave., where Scott attempted to purchase 26 gift cards with a total value of $2,375, but left the store without the gift cards when she was asked to provide identification after presenting the credit card.

Dachel told police that she pawned an iPad and an iPod

at a Burnsville pawn shop, and that she had shredded the contents of the stolen wallet, according to the complaint.

Dachel and Scott have each been charged with one count of financial transaction card fraud, a felony that’s punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Dachel was also charged with misdemeanor theft in connection with the stolen wallet.

Woman dies in two-vehicle crash Eagan woman gets 90 days A 68-year-old woman was killed and three other people were injured as a result of a two-vehicle crash at about 12:10 p.m.

Monday, May 20, near the intersection of Highway 13 and Dakota Avenue in Savage.

The crash occurred when Robert M. McGinley, 37, of Bloomington was driving a 2006 International tow truck west on Highway 13 and turning left (south) on Dakota Avenue when he failed to yield for a 2010 Kia Soul

traveling east on Highway 13, according to the State Patrol.

The driver of the Kia, Jacqueline A. Levvintre, 16, and two other passengers suffered non-lifethreatening injuries while another passenger, Maria M. Mendez, 68, died.

The driver and the passengers were wearing seat belts, and the airbags deployed in the vehicle, which was totaled.

The two other passengers were Jose A. Mendez, 68, and Mercedes E.

Jaime-Levvintre, 46, of Burnsville, mother of the driver.

No city of residence was listed for the driver or the other passenger.

McGinley, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered no apparent injury and the vehicle had only minor damage.

Road conditions on the four-lane divided roadway were described as dry.

in jail for stabbing boyfriend An Eagan woman will serve 90 days in jail for stabbing her boyfriend with a knife.

Angela Marie Stevens, 23, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony, on May 16 and was sentenced to 90 days in jail for the assault. She received credit for three days.

Judge Leslie Metzen also gave Stevens a

21-month prison sentence, which will be stayed for five years.

She assaulted her boyfriend with a fillet knife at their Eagan apartment Aug. 22 upon discovering photographs on a computer flash drive that angered her.

Stevens stabbed the man on his left forearm, upper outer biceps area and deeply cut his left

wrist. There were eight cuts on the man’s body, which included a 3-inch slice to the inner portion of his right hand stretching from his pinkie to the pad of his thumb, according to police.

Stevens has no prior convictions aside from traffic tickets.

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, 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.

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.

On May 16, Al-Kordi was convicted of gross misdemeanor charges in connection with the incident, according to court documents. She is currently serving a 30-day sentence.

Opinion 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.

An opinion of the ECM Publishers Inc. Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM.

Letters Clausen helps meet needs of the disabled To the editor: I thank Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, for his vote April 29 in favor of higher revenues. I know there can be strong opposition to increasing taxes, but when I look at who benefits and how many needs are still unmet, it’s easier to see why voting for more revenues is wise.

Minnesota’s Medical Assistance program, for example, spends a significant amount of its funds on programs that help people with disabilities.

These programs support people like my sister, who has significant disabilities and will always need that support. Our tax dollars pay for the group home where she currently lives with several other women and really feels at home there. Before she moved to the group home, our tax dollars paid for staffing and services for more than two decades so my parents could care for her at home as long as possible, until her needs became too great to stay there.

Unfortunately, there are many needs that could be better met if more revenues were raised. For example, there are 3,600 Minnesotans with disabilities who wait for the services that will help them be more independent.

Also, one in 88 children is now diagnosed with autism; many will likely receive services throughout their lives. Clausen’s vote in favor of more revenues will help ensure that we can meet the needs of my sister, others with disabilities, and their families now and in the future.

MARK GONNELLA Apple Valley

Thankful for the paper To the editor: I am very much a product of today’s digital world. I consume most of my news and information through screens – smartphone, tablet or computer.

I discontinued subscribing to a newspaper years ago.

Then we moved to Ea-

gan, and I started receiving Thisweek, now Sun Thisweek, in my delivery tube each Friday.

I look forward each weekend to reading about Eagan and neighboring cities, people in my community, children and schools that make up the fabric of lives lived south of the river. It’s a wonderful feeling each Saturday morning to read through the pages, and, yes, I read through it completely.

I find I have time, despite being one half of a working-parent duo with a young child at home, because this newspaper is wonderful and makes me feel connected in a way that means “home.”

I enjoy the small town yet big city amenities of Eagan, and I love reading all the stories and opinions that the staff brings together for us.

I have often read articles about those in need and it helps me to put my charitable dollars in the right places. I’ve read things about our parks that have made me take action and write to my elected officials. I’ve been moved to say a prayer for those who are going through difficult times as reported in the paper.

I read the Mature Lifestyles section commemorating our veterans and their families and was particularly moved by the article written by Emily Hedges about William Vsetecka’s poem “Invasion of Iwo Jima.” I cried and bowed my head and

said a heartfelt thank you to the veterans and soldiers who gave and give so much for us. I intend to keep a copy in my office cube for visitors to see and remember and keep one up on my home office desk so that I can do the same.

I am very grateful for all that the staff brings to me in the form of Sun Thisweek each week. I’m sure you get a lot of letters that have criticism but this one only contains thanks.

KHURSHEED PARAKH Eagan

Set free the desire for freedom

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 everyone 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.

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 HAL CRANMER like to offer some other Lakeville areas for Quist to explore and possibly help the Democratic party do a 180 Church on the freedom issue. reference

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 representatives, who had perhaps had an epiphany in the contrary direction?

Finally, Garofalo said that there was a price to securing his votes. His votes can be purchased?

TIMOTHY JOHN DUECKER Lakeville

Discouraged

by Hall’s comments To the editor: It appears Sen. Dan Hall, R-Burnsville, has forgotten that “all God’s creatures have a place in the sun.” I was very discouraged to read his comments in Sun Thisweek (May 17). Whatever his church decides to hold as a sacrament should be protected, but what his church decides is sacramental should not dictate to the state. I encourage him to look around. It is pretty clear that where church and state are not separated, we have more death, destruction and desolation as people fight to prove their God is the better God or only God. I would suggest that he is the one who is “fooling yourself today” and not the majority of the citizens who supported allowing gay marriage in our state.

nately, survey results can be misleading when questions are asked improperly and the answers are interpreted even more improperly.

A recent online article stated that county officials surveyed local residents and found that 1 in 3 who responded were in favor of a paved trail in the park.

It is not clear what the 1 in 3 had in mind. Did they mean paving through the interior of the park, up to 9 miles and 10-feet-wide?

Or, did they mean a smaller loop trail in the area of the visitor center? In addition, what about the other 2 out of 3?

Another survey with regard to Dakota County Parks found that 71 percent (the highest response of the nine options listed) favored protecting/restoring woods, prairies, lakes, ponds and wetlands. This seems to directly conflict with the proposed plan to plow and pave through the interior of the park and around pristine Holland Lake. If the county attempts to do both, as they propose, neither of these options are free.

Protecting/restoring have expenses in the short and long term. Installing and maintaining year round paved surfaces also have short and long term funds.

Where will this money come from now and in years ahead?

If the county chooses to use survey results from past years while developing a master plan for Lebanon Hills, then these results deserve further consideration.

Keep Lebanon Hills serene

To the editor: I am surprised and dismayed to read of plans to add a paved path of some length to Lebanon Hills Regional Park. It has been a wild and undeveloped park that I have cherished and enjoyed for 12 years.

There are many other paved trails near the park that people can use if they need paved paths.

speech communication, Lavin began his career at the Eagan YMCA in 1994 as the site director of its school-age child care program.

In that role, Lavin expanded YMCA’s program throughout the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District.

The program currently serves 1,600 students per day.

Prior to working at the Eagan YMCA, Lavin had aspired to become a teacher, but quickly fell in love with his new job.

“I learned about the impact the YMCA can make on children and families and felt it was

my calling,” he said.

In 1998, Lavin became the Eagan YMCA’s youth development director and oversaw its sports and teen programs.

As youth development director, Lavin oversaw the creation of four YMCA youth sports camps in Eagan.

“It gave kids an opportunity to participate in that and expand their sports offerings,” he said.

By 2000, he was promoted to executive director of the Eagan YMCA. Five years later, Lavin decided to oversee the Hastings YMCA.

Lavin serves on a number of community boards that relate to youth obesity prevention and sports. He most recently served on Hastings Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Hastings Baseball Board of Directors.

Although he is returning to the Eagan YMCA, Lavin said he and his wife, Laurie, plan to remain in Hastings so their two teenage children can graduate from Hastings High School.

ON THE FRONT LINES OF HISTORY Military moms, grandmas unite through Yellow Ribbon More than 100 women from around the state attend luncheon in Farmington for fun, sharing experiences

by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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,” 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 daughter-in-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.

The fourth annual Armed Forces Day WWII Weekend was held May 18-19 on the grounds of Dakota City Heritage Village in Farmington. Soldiers representing Russia, Germany, and the United States staged mock battles, weapons demonstrations, and army vehicle parades to recognize the history and service of veterans.

She earned a Kitchen and Bath Design certificate from Century College.

In an industry where the little guys are getting pushed out by health care giants, one independent medical billing business has held its own and even grown.

Over the past two years, Burnsville-based Healthcare Business Solutions has seen a 75 percent increase in its revenue, bringing the young company’s profits to nearly $100,000.

Due to this growth, the business, which provides medical billing services for chiropractors and mental health specialists, relocated from Eagan to a larger office at 2430 E. 117 St. off Highway 13.

HBS CEO and president Tunisia Irby credits this growth to the business’ customer service, expertise and ability to stay on top of industry changes and regulations.

“As a small business owner I make sure my clients come first,” Irby said.

“We customize our services to the client’s needs.”

Much of the business’ success is also due to growth in the health care industry, Irby said.

A March 11 report by the U.S. Department of Labor showed health care businesses created 32,000 jobs during the prior month and is expected to create 5.6 million more by 2020.

Tunisia Irby founded Burnsville-based Healthcare Business Solutions in 2006. (Photo by Jessica Harper) be due to its focus on small chiropractic and mental health clinics, which often rely on outsourced billing services due to its complexity, said Dan McLaughlin, the director for the Center for Health & Medical Affairs at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business.

These providers will likely remain independent while medical clinics and hospitals consolidate and provide billing internally, McLaughlin said.

After building a 10year career in the medical billing field, Irby founded HBS in 2006 with a $4,000 grant from the CAP Agency and personal savings.

The Eagan resident previously worked in various administrative positions at Fairview Health Systems and HealthPartners.

“I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and saw a huge need for billing services,” she said.

In its infancy, Irby worked alone as she

learned to run a business from the ground up.

“Getting that first client was most challenging,” she said. “I didn’t know how to market or promote myself.”

It took Irby nearly a year to land her first client, but once she did, the business took off.

Today, HBS has four employees and intends to hire additional workers as the company expands.

In the near future, Irby plans to expand HBS’ services to include administrative staff training and a call center in Eagan to provide scheduling and bill-collecting services.

The call center alone will bring about five to eight jobs, Irby said.

Having the opportunity to bring jobs to the community is most rewarding, she said.

Looking to the future, Irby said she hopes to double her profits while obtaining more clients and employees.

District 196 seeks applicants for parent positions on curriculum council

John Klein, left, and his dad Doug constructed a mini catapult together as part of Family Engineering Night on May 16 at Apple Valley’s Westview Elementary. More than 300 students and parents participated in the first-ever event at the school, which was sponsored by Flint Hills Resources and presented by The Works Museum to teach students about engineering design and how engineers use math and science to solve problems. Wiring circuits and building bridges out of candy were among the other kidfriendly, hands-on engineering activities on offer. (Photo submitted)

Parents in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools who are interested in becoming involved in curriculum matters are encouraged to apply for membership on the district’s Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council.

Applications will be accepted through May 31 for four elementary school parent positions, one middle school parent position and three high school parent positions that will be open at the end of the current school year. The terms are for three years beginning in July 2013.

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let them applaud,â&#x20AC;? a Republican shouted at House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, as the Thissen gaveled for quiet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They own the place,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I have someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there for me, someone behind my back,â&#x20AC;?

Henry said of a union. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a union yet, but I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least a possibility now.â&#x20AC;?

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fight this for eight years,â&#x20AC;? 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 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised a unionization effort is taking place in Minnesota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minnesota is unionfriendly state,â&#x20AC;? 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, RAndover, said she and her husband have owned rental property and have rented to people receiving government assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we next?â&#x20AC;? Scott asked of possible unionization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are landlords next?â&#x20AC;?

Rep. Sarah Anderson, R-Plymouth, dismissed the idea the legislation was about bettering the lives of providers and improving the quality of child care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all

Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, emotionally spoke against the unionization legislation. (Photo by T.W. Budig) about money,â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Search your heart and your conscious,â&#x20AC;? Loon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be courageous.â&#x20AC;?

A handful of House Democrats, including Rep. Tim Faust, DFL-Hinckley, voted with Republicans against the bill. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.

Rep. Michael Nelson, DFL-Brooklyn Park, House bill author, said the legislation does not tell parents or providers how to raise children, nor does it form a union. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about getting right to vote, Nelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill is about ensuring the basic rights of undervalued workers to choose for themselves if they want to collectively bargain for better wages,â&#x20AC;?

Nelson said in a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;?

The unionization legislation passed the Democratic-led Senate on a 35-32 vote after a 17-hour, 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 familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (CCAP mothers) will be rejected time after time after time,â&#x20AC;? 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.

County survey results analyzed A recent survey taken in Dakota County to assess residents’ satisfaction with county government, service delivery and life in general shows locals are happy with their overall quality of life, among other things.

The Dakota County Resident Survey has residents rate a variety of topics and issues, and then converts their answers into a 100-point scale.

According to results, the average rating of overall quality of life in Dakota County was 76, sitting above the benchmark of other counties in the nation.

Also receiving high marks on the survey were the safety of neighborhoods (with an average rating of 80) and the performance of the Dakota County Board (with an 88 percent approval rating).

The Resident Survey was mailed to 2,600 random Dakota County households in February and distributed among the seven county commissioner districts. Using past surveys, the county will be able to make comparisons between 2013 results and those from prior years.

To see full survey results, visit www.dakotacounty.us and search Resident Survey.

THOMPSON, from 1A

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 thinking about future plans when the session is over,” he explained.

Senate Minority Leader David Hann, REden Prairie, answered Jeff the question of whether Johnson he will run for governor with three words: “Thinking about it.”

Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, 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 re-election 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.

as of presstime.

Speaking last week, Thompson said he owed it to his constituents and to “the good folks of Minnesota” to declare his intentions 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,” Scott Honour 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 cur- Howard Lestrud can be reached at howrently held by Al Franken. ard.lestrud@ecm-inc.com

Back to basics for Eastview Lightning lacrosse Boys team puts halt to rare losing streak, earns share of South Suburban Conference title

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview didn’t need to create a new identity as much as it needed to return to its old one.

The Lightning lost back-to-back boys lacrosse games last week – the first time that had happened in two years.

That, not surprisingly, caused the players and coaches to do some soulsearching.

Specifically, coach Tim Roche said, they needed to remember what they did well and how to get back to it.

After the reevaluation, Eastview defeated Rosemount 11-8 on Monday and Apple Valley 13-6 on Tuesday to earn a share of the South Suburban Conference championship. Eastview and Eagan both finished 8-1 in SSC play. Eastview won the head-to-head matchup, which could be a factor when the Section 3 tournament is seeded Saturday morning. The No. 1 seed gets a first-round bye, something Roche said he wants.

Losses to Prior Lake (6-5 on May 16) and Blake (13-11 on May 18) were eye-openers for the Lightning, 10-2 overall.

“We’d gone 25 games in a row without allow-

Nine different play-

Apple Valley sophomore attack Calvin Leong scored three goals and junior attack Tim Toavs had four assists.

Sophomore goalie Max Chlan made 11 saves.

Roche said finishing first in the South Suburban Conference means something to the defending state champion Lightning.

“We’ve tried to pull back from thinking about winning the state champi-

onship and focus on one game at a time,” he said.

“A conference championship is a big thing to the school. The players appreciate it too because they get their picture on the wall.”

Blaze, Lightning like their playoff chances Section baseball tourney starts Friday

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Tuesday was a day of mixed results for the Burnsville and Eastview baseball teams. After not quite getting what they wanted during the day, both got some good news in the evening.

Good news first: Both received byes in the first round of the Section 3AAA playoffs. Not only do both teams avoid the single-elimination phase of the tournament, they don’t have to play until Monday. That means they get a chance to rest, practice and set up their pitching for the playoff grind ahead.

The bad news: Eastview closed its regular season with a loss after falling 4-1 to Burnsville on Tuesday at Alimagnet Park. As for the Blaze, it had a split on Tuesday, losing to Bloomington Jefferson 4-3 at Burnsville High School before going to Alimagnet to play Eastview. Burnsville’s loss to Jefferson, combined with Lakeville North’s doubleheader sweep of Rosemount, wiped away the Blaze’s chance of winning the South Suburban Conference.

But, with the regular season jammed into about 3 1/2 weeks, both the Blaze and Lightning welcomed some time off.

“We’ve had one practice outside the whole season,” Eastview coach Tom Strey said following his team’s 4-1 loss to Burnsville on Tuesday afternoon at Alimagnet Park. “We’re hoping the weather gives us a chance to do a little work outside before Monday.”

South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville North (14-3) received the No. 1 seed in Section 3AAA. Burnsville (14-4), Eastview (12-7) and Henry Sibley (11-7) are the second through fourth seeds.

The top four seeds bypass Friday’s first round of the playoffs and advance to the doubleelimination portion of the tournament beginning Monday. Burnsville takes on Eagan or Lakeville South at 7 p.m., while Eastview faces Rosemount or Simley at 4. All games in the double-elimination portion of the tournament take place at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville.

Eastview and Burnsville, the last two state Class AAA champions,

felt good about their playoff chances. One benefit of the compressed schedule is it forced teams to develop pitching depth.

With the double-elimination part of the section tournament expanded to eight teams, a team might have to play more games just to get to state.

That would be fine with Burnsville, which saw senior Cooper Maas shut down Eastview on four hits Tuesday afternoon. Tyler Hanson, Aaron Rozek, Zach Smith and Maas make up a formidable group of pitchers. Setting up the rotation is a challenge, though.

“We’ll have to sit down with all the pitchers, find out how they feel, look at the matchups and figure something out,” Burnsville coach Mick Scholl said. “We have a really strong left side of the infield with Tyler and Cooper when Rosey (Rozek) is pitching. But when Aaron’s not pitching, he does a nice job for us at first base.”

Eastview’s rotation is led by junior left-hander Marcus Frederickson, who was 2-1 with a 0.29 earned-run average in four starts. Eastview held opponents to fewer than

three runs a game during the regular season.

“Marcus has been great all year, and Grant Martinson and Lucas Anderson have pitched really well for us, too,” Strey said. “I like that we have some pitching depth. Last year we got through the section tournament with two pitchers, but I don’t think we’ll have to do that this year.”

Shortstop Derek Scheibel (.389, 14 RBI) and outfielder Josh Chatfield (.426, 11 RBI) led the Lightning at the plate, but Strey said he’s hoping to see the offense as a whole heat up during the playoffs.

Burnsville’s offense might already be running at a high temperature.

Going into Tuesday’s games, Hanson (.432) and Maas (.416) were the hitting leaders, and each had 16 RBI to share the team lead.

“I think our pitching and defense have been pretty good all year, and now we’re starting to hit,” Maas said. “Our confidence is very high going into the playoffs.”

One other thing to consider: Although Burnsville is the No. 2 seed in See BASEBALL, 14A

Where will King end up?

Eastview High School graduate and 2012 Mr. Basketball Award finalist Joey King is looking for a new school after leaving the Drake University men’s program earlier this month. The departure was described as a surprise in a Des Moines Register story.

Locally, speculation immediately turned to whether he would land at Minnesota, which needs big men (King is 6-foot9), is reportedly looking for players with threepoint shooting range and has scholarships available.

A thread about whether King would be a good fit at Minnesota has reached 10 pages at www. gopherhole.com, a website devoted to University of Minnesota athletics.

King averaged 6.9 points and 2.9 rebounds last season at Drake and was named to the Missouri Valley Conference all-freshman team.

All-American Apple Valley High School senior Danny Woiwor recently was named to the USA Wrestling All-American team.

Woiwor is the 2013 state Class AAA champion at 160 pounds. It is his second state championship to go with his 130-pound title as a freshman.

He finished second at 145 as a sophomore and sixth at 182 as a junior.

He also helped lead Apple Valley to four state team championships. Woiwor’s high school career record is 215-40 He signed a National Letter of Intent with Iowa State University and will join the Cyclones this fall.

Clay target league thrives This is the final week of competition for the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League, a trapshooting league that has grown to 114 teams and more than 3,300 participants this spring.

Teams from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview, Farmington, Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Rosemount high schools belong to the league.

The league’s state tournament will be June 7-9 in Alexandria. The tournament, open to all league members, offers novice, junior varsity and varsity competitions.

Trapshooting is a club sport, but in December the Minnesota State High School League voted to become a “presenting partner” of the state tournament beginning in June 2014.

That makes Minnesota the first state with a

trapshooting tournament sponsored by a state high school association.

The MSHSL-sponsored tournament will be for the state’s top shooters, but the clay target league will continue to run its own tournament in June in which novice and JV-level shooters can compete.

Trapshooting allows scheduling flexibility, making it possible for boys and girls to work it in around another spring sport or a club sport.

The presenting partnership agreement allows the MSHSL to support the sport without completely taking over its supervision.

Some teams shoot on Sundays because that’s when they can get access to gun clubs. Sports under direct MSHSL supervision cannot have competitions or practices on Sundays, but the clay target league wanted to keep Sunday competition as an option.

The sport has boomed in Dakota County high schools. Apple Valley’s team nearly doubled in size from 30 to 54. Lakeville North and Lakeville South started teams this year and they attracted almost 150 students combined.

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
