role in the Civil War. Like many at that time, Benjamin likely thought the war would be over within months, but instead the bloody battles, often pitting family members against each other, stretched from 1861-65. “Many of the boys were enlisting,” Neutz said. “They thought it would be a wonderful adventure and they’d be home in about three months.” During the year he served, Benjamin’s letters, rife with misspellings, show his expressions change from exuding singular pride and confidence in overcoming the enemy to

Benjamin Pool of Eureka Township was 22 when he died, killed by friendly fire in the Civil War. His relatives can find no grave by which to honor him, his tale possibly forgotten if not for the letters. Discovered at the Dakota County Historical Society by descendent Kathy Neutz of Lakeville, Benjamin’s story told through the letters has been recovered, remembered and is now part of a new three-pane Lakeville Area Historical Society window display that focuses on Lakeville’s

Thieves target two Lakeville salons by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thieves broke into two Lakeville beauty salons, stealing equipment, products and computers last week. Jacquelyn LeMonnier, manager at Salon Onyx, said she arrived to work Saturday morning and found the door pried open and items missing. Among the stolen equipment from the Lakeville salon at Cedar Avenue and Dodd Boulevard was a computer, shears worth $200$500 each, professional flat irons and hair products. As in most salons, the tools are the property of each stylist. “These are all items they purchased themselves,” LeMonnier said. The salon’s computer included the salon’s appointment calendar for the year, but it did not have any client credit card information on it, LeMonnier said.

Information about clients stored on the computer was limited to past and future appointment dates, color formulas, products purchased, discounts they may qualify for and if they are members of the salon’s loyalty program. LeMonnier said stylists continued providing service by sharing equipment. Salon owner Amy Sullivan immediately replaced the computer. The store is adding more security. Lakeville police Chief Tom Vonhof said a similar break-in happened at A-NuU Salon, located at the mall at County Road 70 and I-35. He said that break-in was discovered Monday. Gwindle Aryeetey, owner of A-Nu-U Salon, said her business computer and $174 in cash was stolen. She also said there was no client credit card information on the computer, but the theft forced her to See THIEVES, 16A

After years of booming growth and expansion in Lakeville and its schools, development has dramatically slowed and enrollment has dropped, taking with it per-pupil funding. Declining enrollment is one of the factors prompting the Lakeville School Board to seek a levy referendum this fall. (Graphic: Lakeville-Area School District)

Indie film puts local actor on the big screen Gabriele Angieri has a starring role in ‘Profile of a Killer’ by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hollywood megastar Samuel L. Jackson might have had himself another hit playing a kidnapped FBI man in the movie “Profile of a Killer.” We’ll never know. Gabriele Angieri, a stage actor from Burnsville, got the part instead. Jackson was supposed to play the role of retired FBI profiler Saul Aitken, who’s kidnapped by a teenage serial killer named David. That was before writerdirector Caspian TredwellOwen fell short of financing the $12 million picture. Undeterred, he brought his screenplay to Minnesota, hired Minnesota actors, shot Minnesota scenery and made his film for about $180,000. “I’m probably quite a different Saul Aitken than Sam Jackson would have been,” said Angieri, 52, who auditioned in an open call posted with the Minnesota Film and Tele-

vision Board. “But it was thrilling to get the part, to get cast out of all my peers. And it’s thrilling to actually have the movie be released and get some exposure, because I’m really proud of the work.” “Profile of a Killer” debuted last November in Belgium, according to film website IMDb. It’s been shown on French and Dutch television and lately has been barnstorming its way through Twin Citiesarea multiplexes. “Profile of a Killer” wrapped up a three-week run April 4 at Regal Cinemas in Brooklyn Center. It’s now showing at CEC Theatres’ Northwoods Cinema 10 in Owatonna. It will open today (Friday, April 26) at CEC’s Hudson 12 Theatre in Hudson, Wis., and at Marcus Cinemas in Hastings and Oakdale. “The film has grown its own little legs,” Angieri said. Tredwell-Owen, a British writer-director whose writing credits include 2003’s “Beyond Borders” (Angelina Jolie) and 2005’s “The Island” (Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson), made his directing debut with “Profile of a Killer.” His efforts to shop the

Christopher Goeke film around Hollywood in 2007 and 2008 fell victim to the bad economy and suspicions that it was just another teen slasher flick, Angieri said. “This is really not that,” he said. “This is really a psychological thriller. It’s almost like a coming-ofage story for this teenager, who’s just going about it the wrong way.” The movie finds Aitken living in Florida, writing a book and giving the occa-

sional lecture about his career, when he’s contacted by Washington County Sheriff Bob Fassernacht (Brooklyn Center actor John Kunik), who’s on the heels of a serial killer. Aitken comes out of retirement only to be kidnapped by the killer himself, played by 18-year-old Minnesota actor Joey Pollari. “Serial killers are typically abused as children or have some traumatic event

happen to them,” Angieri said, adding that he researched the topic. “That’s not the case with this particular person. He’s just finding a way to make his mark. Obviously, he’s a little disturbed in some ways. “But the majority of the film is really between myself and the young man, and I’m trying to convince him to stop what he’s doing while he’s trying to get me to profile him. He kidnaps me early in the film, and I’m held in captivity for 12 days before Christmas.” Viewers may recognize some of the settings, which include locales in Hastings, Minneapolis, Cottage Grove and Stillwater. One scene was shot on Harriet Island in St. Paul. Filming was in December 2009, April 2010 and during the winter of 2011, said Angieri, who has but one film credit — a short feature — on his resume. “I looked at the competition (for the part) and there were a lot of actors working at the Guthrie, a lot of actors doing other film stuff,” he said. “I’m a neophyte.” Growing up in New York City, Angieri acted in junior high and high school and earned a the-

ater degree from Queens College. His theater work after college included playing Jesus in a New York production of “Godspell.” But Angieri — a recently laid-off construction manager for Best Buy — took a long hiatus from acting while raising a family. He resumed his craft about eight years ago, earning roles in Northfield Arts Guild productions and then with Park Square Theater, Nimbus Theatre, Theatre in the Round and the The Playwrights’ Center. Angieri lives in Burnsville with his second wife Faith and their 3-year-old daughter. “I am looking for work in construction management,” he said. “At the same time, I’m looking for acting work as well. I figure it’s a good time to explore that a little bit.” “Profile of a Killer” has a Facebook page: www. facebook.com/ProfileOfAKiller.

How will we respond to the second Boston massacre? by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

We’ll come back, sadder but stronger. That’s what I’ve predicted in talking with young people about the second Boston massacre – the one that just happened. Acts of horror often have the reverse impact of what was intended by those who produced them. No one should defend any of these horrible acts, committed by cowards. They are terrible tragedies. But look what happened after the Boston Massacre in March 1770. According to Wikipedia: “British army soldiers killed five civilians and injured six others.” People throughout New England were infuriated. This

helped bring the colonies together, eventually resulting in our freedom from England. We found a Civil War with huge losses on both sides. But one result was the end of slavery. As President Abraham Lincoln told us at Gettysburg: “These dead have not died in vain.” Not quite 50 years ago, in September 1963, a Birmingham, Ala., church was bombed. Four innocent little girls died

and many were injured. Horrible. But this helped unify millions of Americans to support civil rights legislation. Again quoting Wikipedia: “The explosion at the African-American church which killed four girls, marked a turning point in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and contributed to support for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” American history is not just names and dates; it’s also about the successful struggle to expand opportunities and freedom. Sometimes it’s been difficult. Sometimes we’ve had to deal with tragedy. But we have moved ahead. The remarkable American poet Langston Hughes reminded us of the American spirit in “Mother to Son.” In it, the mother tells her son, and the reader that

she’s “still climbin” though her life has not been “no crystal stair.” Finally, there’s the wonderful Carl Sandburg book length poem, “The People Yes.” Written during the Depression, Sandburg points out: “The people yes. The people will live on. … In the darkness with a great bundle of grief the people march. In the night and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people march. ‘Where to, what next?’ ” Hughes and Sandburg are right about Americans. Life is not always “a crystal stair.” But we’ll keep marching on. Joe Nathan, formerly a public school teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters Support green technologies To the editor: On Earth Day, Monday, April 22, you may have looked out the window at the blanket of snow thought: “If it’s cold enough to snow in late April, maybe we don’t have to worry so much about global warming.” Interestingly, meteorologists and climatologists seem to think there is more freakish weather happening as a result of climate change: more heat, more drought, more violent storms, more extended cold and snow. The greater amount of water vapor in the atmosphere seems to be associated with weather extremes. Not all the extra water is in vapor form. There are rapidly rising sea levels inundating islands in the Pacific and making them uninhabitable. The documentary “Chasing Ice,” available on television and the Internet, shows the relentless acceleration of glacier melt in Greenland, Iceland, North America, Asia and Antarctica. This acceleration, according to most scientists, is not a “natural” phenomenon, not “cyclical,” and it hasn’t happened before. It’s accompanied by a rise in carbon levels in the earth’s atmosphere, and an increase in the extinction of plant and animal species. Like apologists for the smoking industry before them, researchers funded by energy companies dependent on selling oil and coal, want us to believe these substances too can be harmless to our lives. Public health studies show otherwise. It’s time to join the president and the governor in working for the success of a growing industry around green technologies: solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. We’ve already waited too long; our children’s lives are already diminished. Now is the time for U.S. Rep. John Kline, Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, and Minnesota legislators to act.

an individual at the risk of harming the rest of our population. The ironic part is the fact that many of the staunchest critics of proposals to make health care available to all, are already receiving health care courtesy of Medicare, Medicaid, the V.A. and other government agencies. I’m of firm belief that there’s nothing wrong with being a rugged individualist, so long as people walk their talk. RUTH CARLSON Eagan

Don’t allow massive tax increases

JUDY FINGER Apple Valley

Don’t rely on handouts To the editor: At 20 years of age, I borrowed $2,000 from my mother for a used Pontiac. New to the Twin Cities then, I found a job working for $5/hour at a car dealership. In order to pay child support, keep up with the rent, and make payments back to my mother at 10 percent interest, I took in all of the overtime I could. We recently heard from a chronic letter writer to this fine paper, questioning whether we’re good or bad Samaritans. He even ends his argument with an example from biblical times – which, judging from his volumes of letters published, has demonstrated vast ignorance of such a subject. I wonder if the letter writer is also familiar with “Give a man a fish and he’ll survive a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll survive a lifetime.” Or, “He helps them who help themselves.” Also, my favorite, “He lets us suffer.” My favorite because suffering challenges and makes us stronger. It teaches invalu-

able lessons in respect for others and love for community. You want to give something to somebody, how about a job? What the letter writer describes are freebies, in too many cases given out to systemgamers and abusers, that are intended as vote purchasing, but disguised as “help.” While this letter writer is out and about thinking he knows what it takes to play God, let me extend a long overdue thank you to my mother, who not only was paid in full long ago, but also showed her love for me in a way that took me some time to fully understand. MARK BELLILE Lakeville

All-day kindergarten too expensive To the editor: I am opposed to all-day kindergarten for several reasons. The cost of $40 million is no more than a pay off to the teachers union for the following reasons. First, it makes a huge presumption that our 4and 5-year-old kids have an attention span to have any where near that inten-

To the editor: As a taxpayer and small business owner, I’m watching Gov. Mark Dayton and some in the Legislature who are calling for massive tax increases. I’m concerned that these elected officials are calling for massive tax increases at a time when it appears our economy is finally turning around and could get on solid ground after years of instability. Over the past several years, small businesses and Minnesota families have dealt with decreased revenue, layoffs and reduced income. Those businesses and families did the difficult work of going through their budgets and figuring out what was essential and what could be cut. We made sure that every dollar was being spent wisely. If the governor and legislators in St. Paul move forward with this tax increase it will mean that businesses and families again face the difficult task of learning to do more with less. Join me in holding them accountable for our tax dollars and ask them to spend more wisely not irresponsibly.

sity of learning. Therefore, this is nothing more than “government care of our children” when mothers and fathers should be spending time with their kids teaching them what they want to teach them. Second, the recent ECM Editorial stated there must be accountability? How does that work? There is no accountability now for Head Start, which is a huge failure. So how is this going to be a success? And when have our school systems ever been accountable for their product? Take for example most schools are failing with an F to educate children of color. Where is the accountability for that? There is no such thing as holding our teachers union accountable for anything. Third, this sucks money from the taxpayers who need to be saving for the ridiculous costs of college that has grown 110 percent in 10 years because every part-time professor is paid six figures because they belong to the “elite” class of progressives.

To the editor: On April 4, I had a letter printed in this paper. It was responded to in a manner I feel twisted the point. The writer compared health care with food, housing and transportation, saying that providing health care would mean we should provide all these things. He didn’t mention government programs that already give support for food (some funding for food banks for instance), housing (the G.I. Bill) and transportation (the interstate highway system). There is also an element of public safety in guarding public health. We have facilities like the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta that is involved in this important work. I wonder how ethical it would be to pay no attention to the health needs of

Man’s heart and marriage’s meaning

21). Now read the Apostle Paul’s prognosis of the same: “Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:910). God’s good news is that the blood of Jesus covers defiled hearts and gives sinners eternal life. Remember 1) Jesus’ definition, 2) the Bible’s deeper diagnosis of the problem of sin marring every heart, and 3) the Bible’s larger picture of husband-wife relationships as a picture of Christ, the glorious bridegroom, and the church, his beautiful bride (Ephesians 5:32). Please believe that it is not unloving toward gays to want marriage laws upheld in their traditional form. Rather, maintaining God’s definition of marriage underscores the Bible’s very message of love to this needy world, thus seeking its highest good (1 Timothy 1:5). DAVID LIVINGSTON Bethlehem Baptist Church, South Campus Burnsville

Improve access to health care To the editor: I am not sure if letter writer Richard Iffert read the same letter I did written by Ruth Carlson. Screeds such as his will not change the facts. Our great nation lags the industrialized world when it comes to health care. When you hear that 50 million Americans have no way to access it, this should set you to thinking. We have some of the greatest minds in medical research yet a large portion of our population have no chance of benefiting. We have some of the greatest medical facilities in the world and yet again a huge portion of the population will never be able to access this care. Our infant mortality rates are dismal to say the least. We are 27th behind Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republics. One primary reason for this is pregnant women unable to get prenatal care. When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts he recognized the need for health care coverage for all and now the people of that state are faring better when it comes to their health. President Obama recognized the same need in our nation and went about getting it enacted. What is the difference besides party affiliation? I would also ask U.S. Rep. John Kline if he would give up his congressional or military health care benefits? I am quite certain the answer is no.

To the editor: While marriage is under focus these days, don’t forget Jesus’ definition: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh’” (Matthew 19:4-5). Human “hardness of heart,” he went on to say, is what leads to the confusion and breakdown in marriage (verse 8). Next, look at Jesus’ wider diagnosis of our “human heart problems”: “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, DEBORAH L. coveting, wickedness. … MATHIOWETZ All these evil things come Eagan from within, and they defile a person” (Mark 7:20-

Rotarians get full dose of Indian society Burnsville club members among travelers to India

Rotary does in other parts of the world,” McDonald said. “We sponsored them for many years, but to actually visit the country and witness and participate in the work, it was so compelling.” Rotary clubs in India treated the Minnesota visitors “like dignitaries,” McDonald said. Overnight train trips and long van and bus rides were hardly luxurious travel for the Minnesotans. “They got exposed to everything,” said Dalal, a Burnsville resident since 1979 who has a State Farm Insurance agency in Prior Lake. But the trip included a visit to the Taj Mahal and a stay in Mumbai for shopping and conventional tourism. “All my relatives were mad as heck at me because I could only spend two nights in Mumbai and I spent all my time with the Rotary club, so they didn’t get to see me,” Dalal said. “But I’m going to have to go back soon.” Some of the travelers will give a presentation on their trip at the Thursday, May 9, meeting of Burnsville Breakfast Rotary, to be held at 7 a.m. at the Chiante Grill, 14296 Plymouth Ave., Burnsville. Bob Stowell’s trip blog is at www.district5950news.wordpress.com.

Sam Dalal of Burnsville knows the territory, but he wanted his Rotary friends to experience the different faces of India in manageable doses. Dalal worked with an Indian travel agent who arranged all manner of transport for the 17-member crew of Rotarians and family members from Rotary District 5950. “If you haven’t traveled to the Third World and seen the poverty, it just kind of hits you in the face,” said Dalal, 68, who grew up in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) and came to the United States at age 22. “We kind of mixed in stays at five-star hotels and stays in the back country of India. They experienced both, and they were able to stomach that well.” As a leader of District 5950’s Friendship Exchange, Dalal suggested the India trip as a cultural exchange that would also give Rotarians a firsthand glimpse of some of their philanthropy. Three Burnsville Breakfast Rotary Club members were on the trip, along with Rotarians from Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Edina. The group traveled within the northern tier of the Indian subcontinent on its 14-day February

The news magazine reviewed more than 21,000 public high schools across the nation. Working with District of Columbiabased American Institutes for Research, U.S. News and World Report ranked schools based on student-teacher ratio, college readiness, overall student performance on state-mandated assessments and how effectively schools educated their black, Hispanic and low-income students. College readiness is determined by the percentage of students taking and passing Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams.

Grand Jury indictes Apple Valley man for murder A 36-year-old Apple Valley man was indicted this week by a Dakota County grand jury with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the March 7 death of his wife, Margorie Ann Holland, 37, and her unborn child. The indictment comes after the medical examiner determined that Margorie Holland died by strangulation and not a fall down the stairs at their townhome on 157th Street West as Roger Holland has claimed, according to a release from the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy found the thyroid cartilage in Margorie Holland’s neck was broken on both sides, she had hemorrhaging in her neck muscles and petechiae in her eyes and on her face, all consistent with the victim having been strangled. Medical personnel and police officers observed numerous injuries on Margorie Holland’s

body, including bruising and abrasions on her head, face, hands, legs, ankles and feet. Roger Holland claims he found his wife face down on the floor wrapped in a blanket and non-responsive at the bottom of a staircase inside their townhome upon his return to the residence after purchasing breakfast for them. He claims he rolled his wife over before calling 911 and began CPR after this call was made. Holland allegedly called 911 at approximately 9:55 a.m. March 7 to report that his wife was lying at the bottom of a flight of stairs and was not breathing. Upon arrival of medical personnel, Margorie Holland’s body was cool to the touch, and she was not breathing and had no heartbeat. Resuscitation efforts were attempted and she was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital where she and her unborn child were officially declared dead. She was approximately 15 weeks pregnant. Apple Valley police

officers who responded to the call at about 10 a.m. observed visible scratches on the left side of Roger Holland’s face and neck. Roger Holland later told police that his wife had accidentally scratched him while he was massaging her stomach on the morning of March 7. Investigators later found at the time of his arrest that Roger Holland also had fresh scratches on his forearms and upper arms and a fresh cut on a toe on his left foot. Roger Holland told police that his relationship with his wife was good and that they did not have any financial problems. A search of the Holland’s cellphones found a large number of text messages, which contained numerous arguments between the couple in the weeks prior to March 7 and some texts that referenced concerns about their financial problems. On March 6, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Margorie Holland told her husband that she intended to divorce him,

and in a text sent 10 minutes earlier she told him that she intended to report him to authorities “first thing in the morning” for stealing her credit cards. The investigation revealed that Margorie Holland’s cellphone accessed Facebook from 7 to 7:13 a.m. March 7; however, attempts by her brother to call her on her cellphone at 8:29 a.m. and to text her at 9:02 a.m. that morning went unanswered. Roger Holland claimed he received a text message from his wife after he left the home that morning requesting that he get breakfast from McDonald’s instead of Taco Bell. Investigators found this text message was sent from Margorie Holland’s cellphone at 9:29 a.m. Investigators also found a text message sent from Margorie Holland’s cellphone to Roger Holland’s cellphone that morning at 9:31 a.m., saying that she was uncomfortable and was moving downstairs from her bedroom upstairs. Investigators found a text

message indicating that Roger Holland’s cellphone had responded to this message at 9:33 a.m. However, video surveillance at the building showed that Roger Holland did not leave the townhome complex until 9:34 a.m. that morning. Investigators also found a data entry which may have been related to an Internet search on Roger Holland’s cellphone on March 6 which stated: “if you pass out and fall down a flight of stairs, can you break your neckcan (sic) your neck be broken if you are.” Several other similar data entries concerning whether someone can break their neck falling down the stairs or in other ways were found on Roger Holland’s laptop computer. These data entries related to Google searches that occurred sometime prior to Feb. 28. Roger and Margorie Holland had been married for approximately a year and a half and had been dating for some time before their marriage. Both were members

of the Texas National Guard. They had moved into their Apple Valley residence in December 2012. “These charges reflect allegations that this was a premeditated and intentional domestic-related homicide that tragically claimed the life of Margorie Holland and her unborn child,” Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a press release. “Our deep sympathy is extended to the victim’s family and friends.” Backstrom thanked the Apple Valley Police Department, the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who assisted in the investigation of this case. Roger Holland is expected to make his first appearance on the charges returned in the indictment within the next several days. He currently remains in custody in the Dakota County Jail, having failed to post the bail previously set in connection with this case. —Tad Johnson

Alleged drunken driver had infant son in the car Rosemount man pleads A woman arrested in Burnsville for alleged drunken driving also faces a child-endangerment charge for having her 4-month-old son in the car. A Dakota County District Court summons was filed April 18 for Christina Maria Thorne, 44, of Savage. The arrest occurred last Nov. 21. Thorne is charged with two counts of second-degree driving while impaired and one count of child endangerment. Burnsville police got a report at 1:27 p.m. Nov. 21 that a woman with an infant got into a Chevrolet pickup truck after being seen staggering and walking into cars, the criminal complaint said. An officer followed Thorne,

who wove within her lane and struck a curb. When the officer hit her squad lights, Thorne sped up and continued for two blocks before stopping for a red light, the complaint said. When the light turned green, she continued driving and eventually pulled over onto the curb. Her eyes were watery and she smelled of alcohol, reported the officer, who asked Thorne how much she’d drunk that day. “Thorne stated not much, and then stated that she had been trying and only had a couple of drinks that day,” the complaint said. “Thorne admitted that her 4-month-old son was in a car seat in the back of the vehicle.” She was arrested after failing

field sobriety tests and refusing to give a preliminary breath test. Thorne further refused breath testing after the arrest and asked if she could take a blood test. After the officer took her to a hospital for a blood draw, Thorne stalled before giving the test at 3:30 p.m., according to the complaint. The test was done within two hours of her arrest. It showed a blood-alcohol concentration of .22. The legal limit for driving is .08. Thorne was convicted of driving under the influence in 1999 and 2008 and for refusing a driving-while-intoxicated test in 2010, the complaint said. — John Gessner

The court documents state Walker is sentenced to 60 days in jail and was credited for 32 days already served. His total fees add up to $461. Walker will also serve a two-year probation and has a no-contact order with the victims, with the exception of phone calls to the female victim. Walker will also undergo a domestic abuse evaluation.

A Rosemount man pleaded guilty on April 16 to misdemeanor domestic assault charges of intentionally trying to inflict harm.

Tables facility fee increase discussion by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

District 192 School Board unanimously approved a self-funded health care insurance program for the 2013-14 school year at its April 22 meeting. The self-funded plan through PreferredOne would result in a 14.3 percent premium increase. The district would benefit from the plan because it could save 5-8 percent of administrative costs. The district would also fund and manage its own claims account, can build reserves to offset future health-related increases and involve employees as â&#x20AC;&#x153;good consumers of health care.â&#x20AC;? The program would start on July 1, however, a revised proposal could be brought to the school board May 13 if the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s union votes to enter a Public Employee Insurance Plan. The state Legislature is reviewing statewide health insurance PEIP that would require irrevocable participation. Farmington Schools Human Resources Director Maryann Thomas said one scary thing about this legislation is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the last line gives the commissioner the authority to impose a reserve surcharge for up to three years.â&#x20AC;? Farmington could seek exemption from the statewide insurance as a selffunded organization that covers more than 1,000 lives. The legislative and union decisions are uncertain at this time. Board Member Laura Beem is a professional accountant and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In

my opinion, this will save us the most money in the long run.â&#x20AC;? The health care committee has worked with Corporate Health Systems for six months to explore options.

Facility fee increase tabled After much discussion and concerns raised about increasing facility fees, the board decided to table the approval of fees until more information on financial costs is outlined and discussions with stakeholders happen. The district has not increased fees since 2009 and created a three-year increase plan using averages from comparable facilities around the state. Facility rentals currently run at a deficit because district groups pay no fees to use the facilities, but the deficit is picked up by other Community Education funds. The custodial labor contract also requires a janitor to always be in an open building, so this adds extra costs. Board Clerk Julie Singewald pointed out that of the 160,000 hours, 89.5 percent are accounted for by this Tier 1 user group. About 7.3 percent of users are from Farmington youth organizations who pay a minimal fee but would be affected by the increase. She said she wanted to make sure discussions were focused on the majority of users and not the minority.

needs to figure out how to work with youth organizations so the increase in their participation fee does not impact their enrollment and cause these groups to operate at a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me to vote on this now would be fiscally irresponsible,â&#x20AC;? Beem said. The board needed to understand the cost context before increasing fees, she said. Community Education Director Heidi Cunningham said she believes the policy could be reviewed with discussions including stakeholders. The board has asked for a more detailed report before budget decisions are made for the 2013-14 school year.

Next step for conservation easement The board also authorized the administration to start working on an application with Dakota County and Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts to submit an application for a conservation easement. The easement would cover 89 acres of the Angus Property, which is a 180-acre tract of land purchased by the school district for a future elementary school. The land in this easement is a flood plain, and through the program, the school board would get paid to conserve the land. The district could also use the area for educational purposes. By agreeing to submit an application, the district is under no obligation or commitment to the property easement right now.

While these organizations were notified about a year ago of facility increases, some expressed concern to board members that this could make their participation fees Email Theresa Malloy at theresa.malloy@ecm-inc.com. cost-prohibitive. Board Treasurer Brian Treakle said the district

Two colleges, one president by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The recent appointment of Tim Wynes as interim president at Dakota County Technical College highlights the partnership between the only two colleges in Dakota County. As interim president, Wynes will hold double duty as he currently serves as the president of Inver Hills Community College in Inver Grove Heights, 10 miles north of DCTC. In the recommendation for Wynes’ appointment, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Chancellor Steven Rosenstone noted the joint initiatives between the two colleges. DCTC and IHCC already share a chief financial officer. There is also a shared services agreement between the two college’s continuing education and customized training divisions. “I’m glad to do it,” Wynes said. “It’s the two community colleges in Dakota County. It’s a neat opportunity. We’re not merging or anything, but there were already several connections.” His appointment is effective July 1. “It’s very tough to get somebody to move during the middle of the year,” Wynes said. “It made sense to do the interim for a year and give the school a chance to do a full-bore national search. I know the county really well. I’m not going to shake things up. They have a great staff and great students. My concern is just to help

them keep it up.” Wynes expects to hold both positions for about a year. “DCTC and Inver Hills have entered into some very exciting and productive joint initiatives for customized training and continuing education that have resulted in cost savings and improved service to students and the community,” Rosenstone said. A search for a permanent president will begin in early fall. Wynes has held community college leadership positions since the 1990s. He’s been president at IHCC since 2010. He served as chancellor of Iowa Valley Community College District from 2002-10, and he was the executive dean of grants and governmental affairs at Indian Hills Community College from 19962002. Wynes served as a fulltime faculty member at the University of Missouri School of Law. He was also an adjunct faculty member at Iowa State

University, Buena Vista University, St. Ambrose University, the University of Missouri Graduate School of Social Work and Missouri Southern State College. Wynes holds a bachelor’s degree from Cornell College, a juris doctorate from Saint Louis University School of Law and has completed coursework in the doctorate program in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Iowa State University. Wynes succeeds the retiring Ron Thomas, who served 13 years as president of DCTC. DCTC is a two-year technical college offering more than 50 programs and hundreds of courses in areas that include business, design and health care. IHCC offers more than 20 degree options, including liberal education courses and career-related degrees.

Chicago, IL – Hearing loss affects 31 million Americans. Still, only 20% of those who need a hearing aid own one. Hearing loss is a condition that, in most cases, develops gradually– many people do not realize they are affected. Fortunately, modern hearing care has become more aware of the symptoms of hearing loss. This increased awareness has helped millions hear better and enjoy more life Undetected But Significant Hearing is one of the basic ways we communicate and interact with each other and the environment: Undetected hearing loss can have serious consequences. Children with undetected hearing problems are sometimes misidentified as being mentally challenged or as having learning disabilities. Because speech is normally acquired through repeating what is heard, such children are at an early disadvantage. Their education and development may be stunted by the lack of proper treatment. According to a survey by the National Coun-

cil on the Aging (NCOA), older people with undetected hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, paranoia, emotional problems, and reduced social activity. The survey concluded that seniors who treat their hearing loss have better relationships with their families, improved mental health, greater independence, and stronger feelings of security. Seniors who lose their hearing may experience these common scenarios before discovering their loss. Warning Signs Although hearing loss is a very personal condition, the symptoms of hearing loss are fairly consistent. Hearing Care Practitioners generally ask a series of questions to identify whether a person has experienced hearing loss. Beltone™, a leading manufacturer of hearing aids, lists the following “10 Warning Signs of Hearing Loss” in their The Gift of Hearing brochure: 1. People seem to mumble more frequently

Wax buildup in the ear canal is a common occurrence that adversely affects hearing. Often people assume they have a permanent loss when, in fact, they don’t. A hearing screening and video otoscope inspection (a simple procedure in which a picture of a person’s ear canal is taken) provide an accurate evaluation of what you’re hearing and what you’re not. According to one Beltone Hearing Care Practitioner, “When I give someone an otoscope inspection, I often find that simple wax buildup is contributing to their hearing problem.” Testing Is Available to Anyone Beltone offers hearing screenings at all of their 1600 Hearing Care Centers throughout the nation.

Business Legacy Award winners honored Lakeview Bank honored Katherine “Alex” Knutson, Charlie Peters, Bob Finke and Pat White on April 18 as winners of its seventh annual Legacy Award. The award recognizes those who give of themselves to better their community. It is granted in three categories: high school senior, business owner or manager, and citizen/volunteer. Each recipient received $1,000 either as a scholarship or as a contribution to their favorite charitable cause.

Alex Knutson A l e x Knutson is the recipient of the 2013 High School Senior Legacy Award. Alex The senior Knutson at Lakeville North High School is an accomplished choral and instrumental musician. She has participated in the Minnesota Youth Symphony, is a two-year selection to the Minnesota All State Choir, sings in the Now & Then Jazz Singers and is president of the LNHS Chorale. Knutson is a member of the National Honor Society and has taken nine AP courses over her high school career. Despite two successive severe injuries that derailed her soccer career, she continues to participate in alpine ski racing. She is also involved in SADD, peer tutoring, teaching vacation Bible school, and speech. Last fall, Knutson was selected LNHS homecoming queen. Perhaps Knutson’s most remarkable quality

is her dedication to her family. Though she loves the company of peers, by her own admission she has always invested more time with her parents and sister than most people her age. In fact, she considers her mother and sister her best friends, and is proud to call her father her role model.

Charlie Peters F o r L a ke v i l l e North senior Charlie Peters, Charlie also a Peters 2013 High School Senior Legacy Award winner, “I believe” is more than just a personal statement of belief. It’s also the title of an inspirational video he led and produced linking every sport and activity at Lakeville North. The video was not only a success with current and future LNHS students, it has also received thousands of views on YouTube. Inspiring others is nothing new for Peters. He is a member of Student Council, a Senior Class and DECA officer, and was a captain of the LNHS 2012 state runnerup football team. He has taken leadership roles in organizing blood drives both in and out of school, and last year organized Teacher Appreciation Day that included serving all of the high school teachers a free meal.

After burglaries, police chase leads to arrest Charges expected soon for second suspect by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Several Lakeville robbery victims have received some of their stolen valuables back after an April 5 arrest that was preceded by a police chase and a dramatic, yet temporary, escape by two suspects. Lakeville police were called at about 4:25 a.m. by a Hamilton Drive homeowner who heard his garage door open and close, investigated and frightened off a black man dressed in black clothing standing next to his vehicle, according to an April 8 Dakota County criminal complaint. The victim was telling police the male had entered the home and stolen a computer, iPad, cellphone, camera and $175 from his wife’s wallet, while officers received several other burglary reports coming into the department, Chief Tom Vonhof said. Victims allegedly told police they saw a white male and a black male fleeing the area on foot.

The complaint states that a Lakeville officer responding to the area passed a white Pontiac Grand Prix with a white male driver and black male passenger, and both men stared at the officer before the vehicle suddenly turned and sped away, not stopping when the officer pursued with lights and siren activated. With the officer close behind, the driver allegedly slammed on the brakes and made a hard turn, nearly crashing into the squad. While the car was still moving, both occupants bailed out of the vehicle and fled on foot in opposite directions, the complaint said. Vonhof said the vehicle had been stolen. At around 5:45 a.m., a bus driver contacted police to report that a black male described as a “suspicious person” had came out of the weedy marsh and boarded the bus at the Cedar Avenue park-and-ride. Police arrested the man, who allegedly first

gave a false name but is now identified as Marquis Marvin Mitchell, 19, of Burnsville. The complaint states police found a small flashlight and “a large amount of cash” on Mitchell and describes him as “uncooperative and belligerent.” Mitchell allegedly denied any involvement with any burglaries and/ or fleeing police, but later admitted he had entered the residence and was confronted by a “white lady” and ran. The second suspect is in custody on a separate charge, according to Vonhof. He has not yet been charged in this incident. Vonhof credited the alert bus driver and his officers for their quick thinking. “It was good work by citizens calling with good descriptions and officers flooding the area,” he said.

The man is Lorenzo Pacheco, aka Lorenzo Moreno-Pacheco and Lorenzo Pacheco Orozco. He lived in a mobile home park on the 14700

block of West Burnsville Parkway, near the wooded park reserve. The medical examiner identified the remains using previous medical records and found no evidence of criminal activity that may have contributed to Pacheco’s death, Burnsville police announced Tuesday. Burnsville police and other agencies conducted multiple searches of the

park reserve before calling off the active search a month after Pacheco went missing. Police said at the time that the man suffered dementia from a head injury and did not speak English. His remains were discovered on April 13 by a man walking his dog in the park. — John Gessner

‘Nightmare’ spring season could be about to wake up Schools have canceled or postponed nearly a month of athletic activities by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The golf courses are closed, the baseball and softball fields are covered with snow, tennis courts are filled with water, and the tracks are icy. This time last year the varsity softball season was about half over. This year cross country ski trails were still being groomed more than two months after the Nordic season finished. It’s been a unique “spring.” Games have been postponed, then postponed again, then outright canceled. “We really haven’t had a playable date for the majority of our sports teams since April 1,” Farmington athletic and activities director Jon Summer said. “We’re in the fourth week

and really very few sports being able to compete or really practice outside.” As of April 16, Farmington had already outright canceled 97 events from varsity on down to middle school. On Monday, Lakeville South Athletic and Activities Director Neil Strader had already rescheduled 40 games for the week thanks to the recent snow storm. The snow on Monday put another reset on the schedule, forcing schools to move two to three days’ worth of games back yet again. Many of contests were already rescheduled games. “We would have been able to play Thursday or Friday, but now it’s looking like another week out,” Lakeville North Athletic and Activities Director Bob Ertl said.

The trouble is, the schools are running out of dates to play. In three weeks, playoffs begin for several sports. The section tennis tournaments begin on May 13 and softball begins on May 15. For the remainder of the season the conference softball and baseball games will mostly be doubleheaders. The first games sacrificed have been be the nonconference matches. Although, even after the snow melts, the baseball and softball fields still need to dry out, and rain storms won’t be far behind. Even during an average spring season, several games are usually rescheduled because of rain. “Any little rain we get in May will compound anything,” Strader said.

“All the cold temps, frost line hasn’t had a chance to recess, so there’s nowhere for that melt to go. “I think we’re going to be very lucky to get any baseball or softball until the first week of May for sure. We threw out our old conference baseball and softball schedules and redrew it again.” Coaches are well aware they might not get in a full season before playoffs. “At some point, we’re going to have to decide whether they want to play every day,” Summer said. “There’s restrictions on how many innings pitchers can throw, so teams are really going to need some depth to pitch.” Rescheduling that many games has become quite the headache for athletic directors and coaches. It involves working with op-

Blazing Cats CI team on a run PI team looking for players by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the few springs sports that hasn’t been affected by the ongoing winter weather has made the most of its opportunities this season. The Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville Blazing Cats CI (cognitive impaired) adapted softball team is off to a 4-0 start thanks to a high-scoring attack from a veteran squad. Several key members are back off last year’s team that finished third in the state tournament including Terry Kalm, Daniel Klein, Jacob Coffman, Brendon Wong, Stephen Friday and Michael Dedeker. The Blazing Cats opened the season with an 8-5 victory against the Dakota United Hawks on April 11. The victory avenged a loss in the state semifinals last June. The Hawks went on to finish second at state. The next day, the team defeated South Washington County 16-10. The high-scoring continued on April 18 with a 17-16 victory against St. Paul Humbolt. The Blazing Cats got its biggest victory yet beating the South Suburban Jets 20-2.

Blazing Cats PI The Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville PI (physically impaired) adapted softball team doesn’t have as good of a record at 0-2, but the team has showed constant improvement in hitting and fielding. More importantly, “the

teams that would normally be using the gyms at this time are scrambling for space, too. “They’re ending up at elementary schools playing on tile floors,” Strader said. Still, spirits are up with a promising weather report for the weekend. “It’s been a very, very challenging spring for the coaches and student athletes,” Summer said. “I give all those folks credit. They continue to stay positive. We can’t control the weather, but we can control how we respond to it.” To stay updated, visit www.southsuburbanconference.org and www.missotaconference.org.

kids are having a blast,” coach Eric Smith said. It’s been a team effort. Pitcher Emily Grace Swanson is throwing more accurately every week. One of the team’s top hitters Katie Cain has been quicker. Lexi Huber, Kevin Bastyr and Jerrad Solberg all seem to simultaneously find their groove at the plate. Cheyenne Hanson has been keeping runs from scoring from the outfield. One area of the team’s game that could use the most improvement is add-

ing another name to the roster. The Blazing Cats have been playing shorthanded all season, one player short. “I have a hard time believing there are only six eligible students in all of Lakeville, New Prague, Burnsville and Farming-

ton interested in coming out and having some fun playing a competitive spring sport, so we need to keep getting the word out,” Smith said. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Larson, Thornton named Athena Award winners for Lakeville by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North’s Laura Larson and Lakeville South’s Jordyn Thornton were honored at the St. Paul Area Athena Awards ceremony April 17 at the Prom Center in Oakdale. They were among 39 young women representing St. Paul city and suburban public and private high schools honored for their achievements as student-athletes. Larson was the captain of the state championship Panther volleyball team in the fall. The Panthers played in the state final during all three years Larson was on varsity, winning in 2010 and 2012. She was named AllState honorable mention and All-South Suburban Conference in 2012. Larson also made the all-tournament team as a 16-year-old on the 18-and-

ponents’ athletic directors and coaches, rescheduling umpires and officials, updating websites and reordering buses. “It’s been a nightmare. You just hope you don’t miss anything,” Strader said. “There’s a lot of moving parts.” Perhaps the biggest challenge has been keeping teams interested. Track and softball started practice on March 11. They’ve been inside practicing for six weeks. Teams have kept things interesting by hosting indoor scrimmages, playing dodgeball, doing aerobics and having snowball fights. “If you walk through the building after school, it’s constant access,” Strader said. “The gyms booked from 3-10 (p.m.).” The youth basketball

under M1 club team in the Fusion Showcase. She was a libero on the club team since 2009, playing up for two years. She also is a captain of the girls golf team and played in the state tournament in 2012. Academically, she’s a member of the National Honor Society and an AP Scholar with Distinction. Larson has a grade-point average of 4.2 (third in a class of 428). She was a Scholastic Award winner her junior, sophomore and

freshman years. When not playing golf, volleyball or studying, she volunteers with her church, participating in mission trips and teaching classes. In the fall, she plans to attend the University of Arizona and play volleyball. Thornton set Lakeville South school records in the shot put and discus for the track and field team as a junior. In her five seasons as a member of the track and field team, she’s

been named all conference four times and All-State twice. She could add to that list during her senior track season in 2013. She’s also an accomplished weightlifter, placing third in state as a sophomore and fourth as a junior and senior. Thornton also was a member of the girls soccer team, earning three letters. Thornton was named Academic All-State her junior year and has been academic all-conference since her freshman year. Her volunteer activities at her church include singing in the choir, Feed My Starving Children, teaching Sunday school and serving as the art supply coordinator. She plans to attend North Dakota State University and compete in track and field.

In January, the Lakeville North boys lacrosse team got together to set goals for the 2013 season. The Panthers were coming off a much-improved 2012. They were 6-3 in the South Suburban Conference, finishing behind three of the top teams in the state – Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount – and were 10-4 overall. The Panthers handed eventual state champion Eastview its only loss of the season, although Eastview got revenge in the section semifinals, beating North 9-5. With a lot of players back from that team, the Panthers knew 2013 could be special. “Our motto for the year is ‘All-In’ and we know that it will take each and every member of this team to reach our goals, which were set by our seniors back in January,” head coach Jeff Wright said. Little did they know that there would be about as much snow on the ground in April as there was in January. While a few other teams in the South Suburban Conference have snuck in a game or two, the Panthers had their first two weeks of games postponed. The players are anxious to start the season. The Panthers lost six seniors

to graduation, but Wright said the team is still loaded. “We are really going to count on the entire team as a whole,” Wright said. “This is the most talented team that Lakeville North lacrosse has ever seen. Having 16 seniors, we are going to count on their leadership and experience to make sure we have another successful year.” With a senior-heavy lineup, the Panthers will only have three or four underclassmen in lead roles this year. Key returning players include Jack Hughes, Alex Larson and Austin Tisdell, who were all named all-South Suburban Conference honorable mention last spring along with senior captains Tyler Schermann and Sam Larson. Add the team’s No. 2 scorer from 2012, Matt Mulcare, to the list and it’s easy to see why the buzz surrounding the Panthers is loud. “Our depth chart is much deeper this year, and we’ve seen incredible improvement in so many of our guys, which is so awesome to see,” Wright said. The playoff scenario will look different for the Panthers this spring. The Minnesota State High School League expanded the section playoff brackets from four to eight. It also moved Lakeville North out of Section 3 See LACROSSE, 13A

Cougar tennis nets first tourney win in school history

Bank vice president

The Lakeville South boys tennis team won the Owatonna invitational on April 20, defeating Owatonna 4-3 and Hastings 4-2 to win its first tournament in school history. The Cougars won thirds sets in both matches. Erik Sourbeck and Matt Barry won a third set tiebreaker against Hastings, and Spencer Linse and Joel Varghese won a third set tiebreaker against Owatonna, which proved to be the difference. Eighth-grader Chase Roseth went undefeated at No. 1 singles, losing a total of five games in two matches against two seniors.

Lakeville North is the only team in its section ranked in the top 15 in the preseason poll provided by Minnesota Boys Lacrosse Coaches Association. The Panthers came in at No. 13. “Clearly our goal is to make it to the state tournament and compete at the highest level,” Wright said. The South Suburban Conference schedule should get the Panthers ready for the playoffs with No. 1 Eastview, No. 3 Eagan, and No. 9 Rosemount on the docket. Wright said the challenging conference schedule will prepare the Panthers for a playoff push. “I believe our conference is and will be the toughest and most competitive in the state, but in order to be the best, we’re going to have to beat the best,” Wright said.

said. “One size doesn’t fit all anymore.” Snyder said the program, if approved, would allow the potential for a student to graduate from Lakeville schools without ever having set foot in one of its schools. Students will also be accepted from other districts. The virtual program would allow a flexible learning option for students who are involved in high levels of training to pursue goals like competing in the Olympics or seeking a career as a professional dancer. Emily McDonald, PK12 Teaching and Learning coordinator, said while the classes would allow flexibility, they would still be of a high-quality, rigorous nature and each class size would be limited to 40 students. Courses proposed to

SURVEY, from 1A another $5 million to $7 million in the 2014-15 budget, Snyder said. Last month, the board reduced its 2013-14 budget by $3.5 million, making cuts that included $400,000 for reduced enrollment projections and $300,000 in transportation. It also anticipated $200,000 in earnest money for selling 26 acres of district-held land. A closed board meeting was held April 23 to discuss the potential land sale. During the workshop, School Board members debated how to word survey questions and discussed topics that should be covered. Board Member Bob Erickson promoted presenting questions that educate voters about the district’s declining finances and enrollment projections that have forced millions in cuts that have reduced programs while increasing fees and class

be offered are social studies, language arts, math and science and would utilize District 194 curriculum. Electives include physical education, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, health, art for K-5, music and career investigations for senior high students. Teachers would conduct classes using a “learning management system,” that could include PowerPoint presentations, links to videos and lectures and discussion threads to conduct class. Special needs students would be provided a case manager who would connect with them online and provide support, and services like speech therapy could be provided through online programming, in-home services or in a clinic or office. Additional per-pupil funding generated would help pay teachers’ stipends and provide students with

a Google Chromebook. Online students would also receive a Gmail account, Google Docs and access to a learning management system. McDonald said the program could help return some of the perpupil funding the district loses when in-district students seek other educational options. According to Snyder, the district receives about $9,000 per pupil in state and local levy funding, making the district’s additional revenue potential $18.1 million just for 2,016 in-district students who either homeschool, attend private schools or open enroll elsewhere. “We want to increase enrollment in our district and we want to retain the students we have,” McDonald said. “Students are seeking a flexible option. We want to be able to provide that for them here in Lakeville.”

Online-only students would have to pass all state-sponsored tests, and those results would serve as a “huge red flag” if a virtual student were cheating the system and not actually doing the work, Snyder said. They would also be eligible to enroll in district sports and activities. McDonald said since the state approval would likely come sometime in July, the district will “be ready to hit the ground running” as soon as it comes. “This is in line with where we want to be long term,” McDonald said. “And that is to serve our students in our community and beyond at a very high level as well as maybe generate some additional revenue for this district.”

sizes. Board Member Michelle Volk expressed concerns that some of the questions may imply a “yes” vote would help the district provide additional program offerings. “You’re implying that you’re testing the waters to find what they’re most favorable for,” she said. “Then when we come out with a levy, and those things are not on there because all we can do is stabilize and keep going. Do you see what I’m trying to say? People are going to think they were misled on the survey.” Snyder said the district is seeking to understand community priorities so it can focus on what stakeholders most desire as the district reprioritizes internally and balances the budget. She stated answers to the $15,000 fall survey were used to help the district reprioritize high school offerings that led to a new business acad-

emy at Lakeville North and a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) academy at Lakeville South. The district is also focusing on STEM offerings districtwide, and Snyder said they are starting to talk about how to “build a foundation of STEM at the middle level.” “Those principals are now engaging in that work,” Snyder said. “We know that’s our stakeholders’ priorities. So, it’s really about gathering the data to make the decisions. It’s not about promising things.” Volk said she has no problem reprioritizing, but if the levy is approved, the district has to “be able to sustain the system for a while.” “We can’t go back out for another levy for a while,” Volk said. “As a board member, I’m going to want to make sure at least the funds are sustainable for long enough before a renewal or what-

ever comes up.” Board Member Jim Skelly said the survey will give some indication of “what voters are interested in supporting with their tax dollars.” Residents can learn more information about the district at the 2013 State of the Schools address, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 6, and Monday, June 3, at the Crystal Lake Education Center, 16250 Ipava Ave. Parents and community members will hear a 25-minute presentation about the school district followed by 25 minutes for questions and answers. Community members may also schedule the presentation for a club or community group by contacting Linda Swanson, communications director, at 952-232-2003 or linda. swanson@isd194.org.

JEFF AND NYLE

That is a startling statistic! In 27 years as a financial planner, I have witnessed many couples work extremely hard, save diligently, and only purchase what they could afford. I have seen couples who didn’t make a huge income do very well in retirement because they were careful with their money during their working years. Sadly, I have also witnessed the inheriting or rapid liquidation of that hard earned money by the children of those diligent savers and far too often I’ve learned later of disastrous results that followed. Not all investments or assets can be inherited in the same way. When heirs aren’t informed and decide to redeem an inherited investment, they could incur significant penalties and taxes. It is important to seek counsel before making a decision to purchase something with inherited money. The inheritance can turn from a blessing into a curse as years of diligence and patience are quickly replaced by ignorance and impulsivity. Peter is speaking at The White Funeral Home in Burnsville on May 16th at 10:00 am and again at 6pm. The free community workshop at the funeral home will also cover Medical Assistance planning, veterans benefits and funeral and cremation preplanning.

She is all oak.” Primarily written to his brother Jeremiah, Neutz’ great-great grandfather, Benjamin’s letters tell of prisoners they captured being tried and sent to St. Paul; he asks for union news from home and expressed pride in hearing the Eureka boys were able to fend off Indian attacks. In one letter, Benjamin advised Jeremiah, “if you go to the wars trust in the Lord and keep your Powder Dry.” In his last letter before his death, Benjamin said his camp was ordered to pack their wagons and “hold our Selves In Readiness” to march at a moment’s warning. Neutz said Benjamin was killed in Mississippi by fellow soldiers when two regiments fired at each other, thinking they were on opposing sides, Sept. 20, 1862. A funeral was held in a little red schoolhouse in Lakeville, likely without the body, according to Neutz, who is also a secretary with the Lakeville Area Historical Society. “During the Civil War days, they often didn’t send home the bodies,” Neutz said.

A large poster displayed details the Battle of Gettysburg, where Lakeville Area Historical Society member Lea Guenther said many Minnesotans fought. The window display was designed by Tolly Swan, Lakeville Area Historical Society past president, who also lent her selection of Civil War artifacts to the project. Swan described the display as an important resource for the public to learn about history, and noted the letters demonstrate the need to save important things. “I think it’s really unique that the family still had the letters,” she said. “I think people can relate in a personal way to them.” Neutz said she has learned a lot about her heritage and family from Benjamin’s letters. “It just makes me proud,” Neutz said. “It’s been a fun experience for me. I just like to know who these people were and where I came from.” The window display will remain through May, and can be viewed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Heritage Center.

NIKKO IS A SNUGGLER! Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Nikko! I came to Last Hope after being found outside on the coldest day of January. Emaciated and frostbitten on the pads of my paws when a loving soul found me and brought me in. I surely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made it another week. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in my foster home for 3 months and have been very sad as there has not been a family that wants me yet. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 7-8 months old and still a kitten. I need a home without other cats but dogs are fine. I am a ton of fun!!! I love, love, love to play. I have lots of personality and will keep you in stitches every minute. I will bring a smile to your face. The other really awesome part about me is that I LOVE to lap sit and snuggle. I like it so much I can get a bit irritable when you move me from my favorite place on your lap. I am pretty quiet and not an annoying talker. I am well tested in my foster home and have proven myself very litter box and scratching post reliable. Since I have been with Last Hope a while and they need the room for all the kittens coming in, they have made me an absolute bargain at $60 to get me a home fast. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an absolute steal for hours of fun and entertainment and a snuggle buddy for watching TV and cuddling in bed! Please contact my foster Mom Kathryn at kaylupp@gmail.com, cell # 952-913-9295.

Thisweekend Young artists put their best work forward

Showdown on stage

Area Student Art Show is May 2 in Rosemount If you want to see it all, you may have to hustle. Three local schools are pooling their collective artistic talents for an exhibit in Rosemount next week that will showcase a whole lot of artwork in just a four-hour window. Featuring work by students at Dakota County Technical College, Rosemount High School and the Dakota County Area Learning School, the show runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at Rosemount’s Steeple Center. About 50 students in all will be presenting work ranging from animated digital art to paintings, sculpture and pottery. It’s an end-of-the-year capstone event for the students, many of whom will be presenting their portfolios of work they’ve created over the course of the school year. Not all of it is what you’d expect to find in a gallery. Trina Walters’ students at the Dakota County Area Learning School, where she is a graphic communications instructor, have been mastering the Adobe Creative Suite programs – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign – to create calendars, packaging for products, logo designs and other practical items. “One of our goals is to just market art and show how it can be used in ca-

Show times are 7 p.m. Friday, April 26, and 1 p.m. Saturday, April 27. Tickets will be available at the door and are $6 for adults, $5 for children.

This isn’t just an elective – these are career skill sets,” said Walters, a member of the Rosemount Area Arts Council, which is sponsoring the event. While the skills of the art students will be evident by the work adorning

the Steeple Center’s walls, career skills of a different sort will be adduced by area students studying food industry – they’re preparing the hors d’oeuvres, which are complimentary. Admission is free. —Andrew Miller
