Local musician uses his multiple talents to do what he loves while helping others In the basement of a little blue house in Lakeville is a small studio. The drum set is wrapped with a string of blue lights. There are multiple computer screens and two chairs alongside keyboards, guitars and two snoozing dogs. The studio belongs to Matt Iverson, a local musician, performer, newly ordained reverend and teacher. Iverson is a oneman band, performing at

bars and weddings using his drum set, his guitar with the last two strings tuned as bass strings, and looper pedals to create his own unique form of music. Iverson started teaching guitar in a studio he owned in Rosemount, where he hired others to help teach. After a while, he decided to close the studio and teach in his basement, where he still teaches today. “It was a good endeavor,� he said. “But I really wanted to focus on recording and performing.�

The Great Depression, low lake levels and other factors led to the amusement park fading into memory along with its 18-hole Antlers Park Golf Links that White Bear Lake resident Joe Bissen conjures up in his book “Fore!

The fastest and safest way to drive between two points may be through a circle. With their strategic pedestrian crossings, one-way traffic flow, U-turn friendliness and slowing effect on speed, roundabouts can move traffic smoothly, safely and at reasonable costs, highway experts say. In Minnesota, about 119 roundabouts have been built. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has been completing up to 10 roundabouts a year over the past few years, MnDOT engineer Ken Johnson said. Within the metro, Dakota, Hennepin and Washington counties boast the most roundabouts. But they’re also found in Chisago, Mille Lacs and in other Greater Minnesota counties. About 29 roundabouts are on the drawing boards across the state, including a new potential roundabout on County Road 50 near Kenwood Trail Middle School. The city of Farmington plans to reconstruct 195th Street by widening the lanes, adding turn lanes and adding potential roundabouts at Pilot Knob in 2015. “The roundabouts that have been installed in Edina are working very well,�

Klobuchar expects Congress will avoid shutdown next time She pushing for passage of a farm bill by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota’s senior senator, Amy Klobuchar, expressed confidence after the government shutdown ended last week, saying there will not be another shutdown when the continuing resolution ends Jan. 15, 2014. Klobuchar returned to Minnesota from Washington, D.C., Thursday night following a bipartisan agreement to fund the government and avoid default. She has been credited as one of the key members of Congress who negotiated a deal to end the 16-day shutdown. On Friday morning, the Democrat was promoting a farm bill by making an appearance in Golden Valley. She recently was named a Senate conferee working toward passage of a farm bill. “Some say we have kicked the can down the road and while an agreement is important, it’s nothing you can celebrate and dance on the table about,� Klobuchar told the ECM Editorial Board on Friday. She said it is a spirit of bipartisanship that led Congress to a solution to end the shutdown. Asked why she feels confident another shutdown will not happen, Klobuchar said she “is just listening to what (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell has said and looking at what a lot of other Republicans have

Amy Klobuchar

cans Sen. John McCain, of Arizona; Sen. Mark Kirk, of Illinois; Sen. Mike Johanns, of Nebraska; Sen. Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska; and Sen. Susan Collins, of Maine, for being key players in working out a deal. Klobuchar pointed to Tea Party resistance as being a factor that made it difficult for Congress to compromise and to find common ground. She said moderate Republicans made compromise happen. The shutdown cost the country billions of dollars in lost economic gain, Klobuchar said. Just hours after Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed legislation ending a government shutdown and increasing the statutory debt ceiling, Congress’ two budget chairs, Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, and Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican, pledged they would try to find areas of agreement on longer-term fiscal challenges. The dynamics are now different after the settlement, Klobuchar claimed. She said she believes there will be more rational behavior in Washington. “It was ugly and chaos,� Klobuchar said in describing conditions in Congress during the shutdown. Klobuchar was part of a movement by female senators to solve the government shutdown and debt limit issues.

been saying.� She said she was also looking at the impact of what happened and what it would mean to the Republican Party if it happened again. Klobuchar said a responsibility also lies with the Democrats to get something passed or see the next round of cuts going into place. In addition to budgetary actions, Klobuchar said Congress must pass a farm bill, an immigration bill and a transportation bill. The U.S. Senate has already passed these bills. Klobuchar said “a lot more work� needs to be done by Congress. “My hope is that our policies will be helping and not hurting,� she said. She admitted that the shutdown was frustrating to her and to many others. A mini-agreement to end the shutdown resulted from bipartisan action in the House and the Senate, said Klobuchar.

Education center loses another partner

Dakota County Technical College to move courses from Apple Valley to Rosemount Students irked

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Partners in Higher Education may have to drop the first word in the name of the post-secondary school in Apple Valley after it was announced that Dakota County Technical College would no longer be offering classes there when the first semester ends in December. Some students at the school are fighting the college’s decision and petitioning to keep the site open until the current class graduates in 2015 or at least the end of the 2013-14 school year. College officials say classes and instructors will move to the main Rosemount campus as another cost-cutting measure that another partner, Inver Hills Community College, made in 2012 when it discontinued courses at the site. St. Mary’s University is expected to be the lone partner left in January 2014 unless others are found. Gena Bilden, associate vice president at St. Mary’s, says the university is committed to the site and is negotiating with the city of Apple Valley, which owns the former city hall building at 14200 Cedar Ave., on a lease agreement for 2014. Bilden said St. Mary’s was subleasing its space from DCTC. She said the university would be open to working with other partners, saying some have indicated interest. Bilden said DCTC officials kept the university informed as it went through its decision-making process.

wouldn’t have come here,� Lusack said. Lusack says she needs 14 more credits or five more courses to complete her degree, which she started working toward three years ago. She said some of the students “got wind� of the DCTC decision before it was formally announced to students in a Sept. 22 email. The semester started Aug. 26. “As students, alumni, or friends/family of DCTC students, we are offended that college administration failed to actively engage us in any discussions regarding potential campus closure before decisions were made,� the petition letter said. “An effort to try to shut down this campus mid-year is unconscionable.� The newspaper was unable to connect with Tim Wynes, interim DCTC president and president of Inver Hills, before this story was originally published. He told the Star Tribune that the move was made because the Rosemount site has unused space where the classes will be moved along with the faculty who teach those courses. He said the decision affects about 150 students, according to the Star Tribune story, and that the college will work with students to finish their degrees and address transportation issues. A bus line that goes to DCTC has been something that’s been talked about for years. He told the Star Tribune that students will benefit from the move by integrating them into the overall population of the college. This isn’t the only cost-

Current students who would have their classes moved to Rosemount say the location would prevent them from attending because it is too far from their residences and is not located on a bus route. “The majority of students chose the campus because it is near our home, work, is located near major highways, and is on major bus lines,� their petition posted at change.org said. “We chose to attend a small satellite campus because we like knowing our fellow students, the location, and the personal service that we each have discovered is lacking at DCTC’s main campus and other colleges we checked before coming here.� Kathryn Lusack, of Burnsville, said she wouldn’t be able to take the business management courses she needs in order to complete her individualized study degree because they are held too late in the day for her to reliably reach her son’s Savage child care by its mandatory pick-up time. “That will cause a hardship for me,� she said. Lusack, speaking on behalf of several students, said they feel misled by the college since they say they can’t transfer the technical college’s credits to another school. She said she feels students should have been informed of the decision at the beginning of the school year, so they could have moved to a different school. “For the first-time students who came here because of bus availability, if they had known there was a possibility it would close or could close they

cutting measure Dakota County Technical College has had to make in recent years. Since 2011, the college’s budget has been trimmed by 32 percent from $52.19 million to $35.07 million projected in the fiscal year 2014 budget released in June 2013, according to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities documents. Most of those reductions have been made in operating costs not related to personnel as officials have attempted to maintain instructional staff. Full-year equivalent student units at the college dropped from 2,549 in 2011 to 2,475 in 2012. FYEs are expected to be 2,500 for the 2013-14 school year.

St. Mary’s Bilden said St. Mary’s serves approximately 400 students in Apple Valley. That number has grown since the Partners site was opened 10 years ago, according to Bilden. “It has been a growth area for us,� Bilden said. The university offers about 30 courses each semester with summer months having a slight increase since many of the courses are for graduate work for secondary education teachers. The university also offers bachelor and graduate courses in business education and health care. She said the university has worked well with the community college partners in Rosemount and Inver Grove Heights, including accepting those colleges’ associate degree credits toward St. Mary’s bachelor degree programs.

U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, was among the about one-third of Republicans who voted to approve legislation late Wednesday night, Oct. 16, to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling. Kline, along with U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Eden Prairie, voted for the compromise that tasks a joint House-Senate committee with developing a budget deal before mid-December. “Today, members of Congress were asked to make a difficult decision,� Kline said in a statement released Oct. 17. “Ultimately, I was not willing to put the full faith and credit of the United States at risk. Congress and the White House must put country first. The result was imperfect, but it was a temporary solution I believed was in the best interest of Americans.� Republicans sought changes to the Affordable Care Act before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, but no alterations were made to the federal health care law through the Oct. 16 action. Kline says he will continue to press for changes in the so-called Obamacare law. “Moving forward, we must address runaway spending, the debt and failed policies like Obamacare that are barriers to our economic recovery and threaten the future of our children and grandchildren,� Kline said in the statement. “Our recordhigh debt is as much the result of failed leadership as it is failed policies that grew government instead of our economy.

Democrat U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken voted for the measure. Eagan resident Mike Obermueller, a candidate for the Democratic endorsement in the 2nd District, said in a statement that Kline orchestrated the shutdown. “He’s part of the socalled Republican leadership team who for the past 16 days has consistently rejected efforts to get it back up and running,� said Obermueller, who lost to Kline in the 2012 election by eight percentage points. “Seniors and military families that have been adversely affected by this reckless behavior and needless uncertainty, and had it not been for the House Republicans, this could have been resolved weeks ago,� Obermueller said. Bachmann told Devin Henry of MinnPost “this was a fight worth having.� “Ultimately (this fight is) about what type of government we want to have,� she said. “The president is insisting that he be the only decision-maker when it comes to something as crucial as the budget.

Opinion Adjusting the dream of post-secondary education The ultimate goal for many generations has been a college education for every child. With hard work, a scholarship here and a grant there, college was in reach for almost anyone willing to put in the hours. Student loan debt was an issue for some, but loans were small and easily paid back once the student became employed. Much is different today. A four-year college degree is out-of-reach for many middle class families who cannot produce $100,000 for a university degree. For others, they have obtained the degree but are strapped with debt beyond their means. Still others will tell you there is no such things as a “four-year” degree – it takes five or more years to progress through the maze of college requirements while working 30 or 40 hours a week. It is time to adjust the dream to fit reality in the 21st century. Part of this needed change is a cultural attitude adjustment – some will need policy change and perhaps legislation and additional funding. The first attitude that needs to change is our prejudice against technical education. We continue to denigrate “trade schools” as places for the less intelligent and the under-achiever. Those stereotypes are just not true. Quality technical education will produce workers who can spend a lifetime in a high-paying career. Architectural technology and fluid power engineering, for example, have 100 percent placement with starting pay at $28.58 an hour. Top-notch technical colleges are abundant in Minnesota. Private schools like Dunwoody College of Technology, and high-ranked public schools like Dakota County and Hennepin technical colleg-

ECM Editorial es, Alexandria Technical & Community College, and Minnesota West Community and Technical College provide numerous opportunities for students. Business leaders and chambers of commerce will tell you about the “skills gap,” where jobs go vacant because qualified workers are not available. One such job, called computer numerical control operator, is often cited as a lucrative job without enough workers. CNC operators start about $17 an hour. Projected job openings this decade in the U.S. are 47,800, with a growth rate of 10-19 percent. Another attitude adjustment is needed toward community colleges. Some in academia thumb their noses at community colleges, yet in many cases the quality of education is better (try 40-50 students in a beginning English class, compared to 300-400 in a university auditorium course), much cheaper and more accessible to many. In Minnesota, we have requirements within the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system where community college courses will be accepted at four-year schools – this should be universal. We need a continued commitment to choice for our students. As a recent ECM Editorial Board editorial urged, “We strongly believe high school, college and state officials should continue to provide even more dual credit choices for students.” Options for earning college credit include Post-Secondary Enrollment Options, online learning and credit for knowledge and experience. Many universities are experimenting with Massive

Open Online Courses – these should become part of the post-secondary education repertoire. Online degrees are earning respect within the education field. Once considered throwaway diplomas, online-only schools like the University of Phoenix are being joined by Florida Tech University, University of Missouri and Texas A&M offering online degrees. Even the prestigious University of St. Thomas in St. Paul is now offering its mini MBA in an online option. Minnesota StateMankato also offers online bachelor’s completion, graduate certificates and master’s degrees. Online education offers flexibility to working students and saves transportation and lodging for others, one more option for students. It may take lawmakers to force a few other issues: For example, Congress needs to continue commitment to the Pell Grant program, which provides up to $5,550 per student annually who can show financial need. The Congressional Budget Office is targeting the Pell program for cuts, because overall costs have risen in recent years. A CBO report suggests tightening application standards and decreasing the grant amount. Critics argue cutting Pell will hurt low-income students, and ultimately the nation. The federal government needs to commit to funding Pell Grants as another way to make educational opportunities available to all income levels or the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” will only get wider. Minnesota legislators deserve a “thank you” from college students for leveraging additional funding for a promise that the state’s colleges and universi-

ties will freeze tuition for three years. We need to follow through, too, and be smart consumers of post-secondary education. We should send our children to institutions that rank high on the “quality for less” surveys. Consider New Mexico Institute of Mining, $15,754 a year tuition, but a net cost of $8,600 to students with financial need. The University of Richmond, Virginia, estimates financial needs students will pay about $10,000 a year. The University of North Carolina, Asheville, says net price for out-of-state students with financial aid is about $8,800. Competition for high school graduates is good for all – technical schools are bringing extended career options and challenging universities to be cognizant of overall costs and to not feel entitled to constant tuition price hikes. Technology is expanding online learning opportunities. While we continue to believe that post-secondary education is vital to most high school graduates, we encourage those students to explore the many options available and demand a high return on every education dollar. Our universities need to put the student first in every equation. Our state and national lawmakers must continue to prioritize higher education and pursue ways to make post-secondary education available to everyone. And finally we must adjust our cultural expectations – college is not the only option for the high school graduate, but one of many in preparing for a lifelong, rewarding career.

Letters Editor’s note Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune will consider letters to the editor for publication in the Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 editions that are not related to the election or those that respond directly to information in a previous electionrelated letter. Submission of a letter does not guarantee publication.

Top 10 reasons to vote yes To the editor: Following are the top 10 reasons to vote yes on the Lakeville Area School District’s referendum Nov. 5: 10. Prevent an additional $4 million in cuts and class size increases: Elimination of some high school sports, activities, and more teacher layoffs are all on the table. 9. We can afford this investment: Lakeville has one of the highest income levels in the metro, yet we have one of the lowest rates of funding locally for education. 8. Empower the voting community: Levies have lost by 12 votes and won by five in the past. 7. Retain property values. Quality schools are a smart investment in your home. 6. Draw some of the 1,000 open-enrolled and homeschooled students back to District 194. 5. Add instruction instead of slashing staff: Over the last five years 172 teachers and 78 support staff have been cut. 4. Stop winning the awards for worst student teacher ratio, lowest funding per student and highest class sizes and activity fees in the metro area.

3. Voting “no” or abstaining from the vote hurts the kids in the community and doesn’t change the way public schools are funded. 2. Make the first positive financial step toward better education since 2003, even if it doesn’t “fix everything.” 1. Ten years of underfunding is enough. It’s our turn to get back to our roots and invest $14 per month in the local schools. Vote yes for Lakeville area kids, property values, and community on Nov. 5.

district employees and to help pay for their health insurance benefits. They are good teachers, but who is helping to pay the voters for our own health insurance payments? If some want to pay more to the school district, then please pay higher fees for sports, school clubs, or groups. Be reasonable to your neighbors and don’t force all taxpayers to empty our wallets. The school district will still be well funded and will still provide a good education without passage of this expensive levy. Join me in voting no.

AMY WILLINGHAM Lakeville Unite for 194 volunteer RON BREVIG committee member Burnsville

Schools will be well funded without levy To the editor: In a recent legislative decision (October 2013) school districts were given the power to convert $724 per pupil of existing tax levies themselves without a vote by residents. This takes power away from voters and guarantees large funds to school districts without the direct public vote of taxpayers. The new Obamacare fees and premium charges will increase for many of us in 2014 whether you pay the new rates or the penalty charge. Plus, all the other current taxes, fees, assessments, and levies demands for our dollars is way out of control. To pass this 10year levy now means more taxes next year and an increase in each of the next nine years because of the ‘rate of inflation’ clause that is inserted in this levy language. Much of this levy will go to increase pay for teachers and other school

Editor’s note: The writer lives in the Lakeville Area School District.

Levy is crucial To the editor: On Nov. 5, we will have an opportunity to support and pass a crucial levy for our community and the Lakeville Area Public Schools. A strong school system is critical to the economic wellbeing of the community, supporting property values and businesses. For 10 years the community has not supported additional operating levy funding for our schools. This has resulted in the elimination and reduction of several programs that are core to our children’s education, such as foreign languages, physical education, art, and band. A decade of cuts, (more than $30 million) have resulted in the highest fees for students and families in our conference, the largest metro class sizes and lost programs. Our students

have lost educational opportunities when they need to be prepared for a global workforce. More than 1,000 of our students are open enrolling out of our schools looking for the very opportunities we have eliminated. Since dollars follow the students, this revenue is also lost to our community. Many people blame this loss of students on the economic recession of the past six years. However, during this time surrounding school districts have grown their student populations despite most having higher taxes than District 194. It is time for a wake up call to reverse this course, protect our children’s educational opportunities, our community’s economic wellbeing and your property values. Please inform yourself, vote to support your award winning schools and give all of our students opportunities for an education that past graduates had. DICK and KATHY LEWIS Lakeville

Vote no on ISD 194 levy To the editor: I am writing in response to the special election to be held for the Lakeville Area School District 194 on Nov. 5. Even though I’ve had three and now have two children in this district, I am urging everyone in this district to vote against the referendum asking for $540 more revenue per pupil every year for the next 10 years. Minnesota already spends more than neighboring states per pupil per year ($10,685), yet the results have been unimpressive for the amount of money we are already spending. Nearly 40 percent of our eighth-grade students aren’t proficient in math and nearly 30 percent aren’t proficient in reading. In 2018, 70 percent of all Minnesota’s jobs will require some level of education beyond high school. Yet the graduation rate from our two-year colleges is only 33 percent and from four-year colleges

only 59 percent. Globally, America ranks 17th among developed countries, trailing far behind countries like Finland and South Korea. More money is not going to fix this problem or make it better. It hasn’t in the past and it won’t in the future. We need parents who value education enough to be there for their children and help them, teachers who are held accountable (coming 2014-2015 school year) and children who see the need for education to succeed in this world.

of you to join us in support of this referendum. LOUIS and FRIEDA LINTEREUR Lakeville

Niedermayr promotes Obamacare To the editor: In the Oct. 11 edition, Joe Niedermayr’s letter to the editor cited that U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, voted 40 times to deny improvements in health care. I take issue with his letter that Niedermayr supports Obamacare and criticizes Kline for not supporting it. Cindy Vinson and Tom Washura were believers in Obamacare and helped elect Obama. Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more per year and Washura, of Portola Valley, will pay $10,000 more per year even though Obama said insurance costs would drop by $2,500. Dr. Ben Carson, a black neurosurgeon said: “Obamacare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.” Carson goes on to say Obamacare is about control and making us subservient to the government. Page 29 of Obamacare, lines 4-16 mandates health care rationing like they do in Canada. Page 429 of Obamacare, lines 13-25 will only allow certain doctors, not necessarily your own to write an end-of-life order. This sounds like a death panel to me and yet Niedermayr said Kline is lying about death panels. What else is Niedermayr lying about? Did I mention all the full-time jobs being converted to part-time jobs thanks to Obamacare. No one read Obamacare as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelsoi said we have to pass Obamacare to see what is in the bill. I’m glad we have Kline rejecting this bad bill that nobody read before it was passed.

To the editor: Thirty years ago we relocated our family from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Lakeville. At the time we had five boys (we added our sixth son three years later) with our eldest just entering seventh grade. We carefully looked at the schools in the surrounding communities but were most impressed by the quality of the Lakeville schools and chose Lakeville for our home. We have never regretted that decision. Our youngest son graduated in 2004. Thanks to the superb education our sons received in Lakeville, all have graduated from college and have excellent careers. We now are empty-nesters but cannot turn our backs on the needs of School District 194 to continue to provide the same quality education our sons received to your children and grandchildren. Someone before us had the wisdom of preparing our youth for the future and made unselfish contributions to accomplish that goal. Our family benefitted greatly from their wisdom, leadership, and sacrifice. We will vote “yes” on the upcoming School District 194 referendum so we can continue to provide the children of Lakeville a quality foundation upon which to build as they prepare for their fu- KEVIN McCARNEY ture endeavors. We urge all Lakeville

He couldn’t look into his grandchildren’s eyes Farmington Lions donate reading machine to help Hampton man with rare eyesight disorder by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As important as newspapers were to Mathias “Bud� Thurmes, they were becoming impossible to read. About three years ago Thurmes, 73, who has lived in Hampton his entire life, noticed his eyesight was changing. His eyes were reacting as though they had been dilated after a doctor’s visit. Instead of the condition going away after a few hours, it stayed with him for good. His case has been reviewed by doctors at the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic, but he has no hope for a cure. They best they can offer is ideas on how to make life easier. When he needs to, he wears glasses that let 4 percent of the light in. When he wants to watch the Minnesota Vikings, he has to sit 4 feet in front a 50inch HD television. To see the score, he brings out his binoculars. To go shopping, he uses a device to take a photo of the

price tag, then he enlarges the photo. He would be able to drive, he said, but he can’t make out the signs. Thurmes can’t read black type on white, but he can read white type on black. When he wanted to read a newspaper, balance the checkbook, see a photo of his grandchildren, or read his prescription bottles, he had to ask for help. After spending 32 years as a farmer, Thurmes wasn’t used to living like this. That’s when the Farmington Lions Club came in. Known for their charity work and community service, the Lions donated a Low Vision HD Topaz Reading Machine for Thurmes to use last October. The reading machine is a high definition projector with a 22-inch monitor that can enlarge objects to 16 times their original size for viewing. It can also reverse type. “There are so many features on this machine,� Thurmes said. “I’m still discovering new

things. It’s been a lifesaver. I don’t know what I would do with out it. It really simplified my life.� When the machine was first set up, Thurmes asked to see the pictures of his three grandchildren. “I never saw their eyes before,� he said. “I couldn’t see the color. They have the most beautiful blue eyes.� Thurmes said his doctors have told him they’ve never heard of someone having a similar eyesight problem. “I might be written up in a medical journal somewhere,� he said. He had cataract surgery more than two years ago, but the doctors said it’s unrelated. “The doctors said there’s no connection,� Thurmes said. “They’ll never be able to convince me of that. But my eye doctor said: ‘If they did something wrong, I would tell you.’ � Thurmes said he’s in great spirits, overcome with the generosity of the Lions Club. He plans to visit one of the

leading eye doctors in the country in Chicago soon, but for now he can see his grandchildren’s eyes, call in a prescription refill, and read

articles in the newspaper whenever he wants. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Adam Ziebol’s homecoming Long road of recovery still awaits after crash that killed his sister, Taylor by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Adam Ziebol returned home to Burnsville Oct. 12, three months after being critically injured in a head-on crash that killed one of his sisters, 19-year-old Taylor, and injured the other, 17-year-old Shannon. Adam, 15, has undergone 16 surgeries and had multiple segments of his intestines removed. While awaiting major surgery next year, Adam is fitted with a system that collects waste from an ileostomy and from leaky wounds in his abdomen. Before his official homecoming, Adam briefly left Regions Hospital in St. Paul to make appearances at Burnsville High School’s homecoming. Surprising nearly everyone, the BHS sophomore escorted Shannon, a member of the homecoming royalty, across the field during halftime of the Sept. 27 football game. “He was in a wheelchair, but he stood up and walked across the field,� said their mother, Lesa Hess, who escorted them with her husband, James. “It was crazy.

ing. It was just really neat. It was a big, huge ‘Welcome home, Adam.’ � Adam is getting home care and has begun homebound tutoring and online classes through School District 191. “Smart kid,� his mother said. “He’s determined more so than anything to keep up with his class.�

Tragedy in Kansas Adam, Taylor and Shannon were headed to their grandparents’ home in El Paso, Texas, July 11 when the crash occurred at 7 a.m., about 11 and a half hours after the trio left Burnsville in a Ziebol family car. The vehicle, driven by Taylor, crossed the center line and struck a semi truck head on near Dodge City, Kan. Taylor was a soccer standout beloved by friends and faculty at BHS and at Ripon College in Wisconsin, where she was a freshman. Adam was lying down in the back seat with his seat belt on when the vehicles collided. His abdominal muscles beneath the seat belt were torn and his intestines

Adam Ziebol and his sister Shannon appeared together at the Burnsville High School homecoming football game Sept. 27. Adam, still recovering from severe internal injuries sustained during a July 11 car crash in Kansas, rose from his wheelchair to escort Shannon, a member of the homecoming royalty, across the field at halftime. Their sister, Taylor Ziebol, 19, was killed in the crash. Shannon was also injured. (Submitted photo) “sliced in many places,� Hess said. Blood vessels were sheared off, leaving much of his intestines without blood supply, said Dr. David Dries, a Regions trauma surgeon who has operated on Adam three times. “It’s a miracle that he’s alive,� Hess said. Adam, who suffered a broken back in addition to his internal injuries, underwent two surgeries in Dodge City before being airlifted to a trauma center in Wichita, Kan., where he had 12 more. “We didn’t know if he was going to survive the

35-minute flight with an open abdomen,� Hess said. The multiple surgeries were an attempt to preserve as much intestine as possible, Dries said. “They did it in smaller operations in the hope that by taking out only what was needed or what obviously had to be removed, they would help Adam save as much of his intestine as possible,� he said. Adam is left now with a limited amount of small intestine, which absorbs nutrients the body takes in, unconnected to the large intestine (co-

Getting wet, cold to improve water quality Farmington middle school students brave the Vermillion River current for school project by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dodge Middle School seventh-grade life science students collected water samples at the Vermillion River on Tuesday as part of a year-long project to test the water quality of the river. The class tested the Vermillion River’s clarity, nitrate level, PH level, temperature and The Vermillion River was chilly on Tuesday afternoon as Farmington middle stream flow. While temperature was on school students filled their buckets during a water-quality experiment.

Next spring, students will return to the river to test again and gather macroinvertebrates. “We’ll look at different river life because that’s another indicator of the health of the river,� teacher Sara Christenson said. After they gather the results, they will turn their information over to Dakota County. The Vermillion River runs through Dakota County and enters the Mississippi River floodplain near Hastings.

DUCATIONAL XCELLENCE

Spotlight on Education “Imagine Your Future�

Helping college students choose the right major Picking a college major is a big step for young students. Though many adults eventually find themselves working in fields that have little to do with their college majors, many more spend their entire careers in the same field they chose to major in way back in their college days. Choosing a major is a decision that ultimately rests on the shoulders of the students who must consider a host of factors before committing to a specific field of study. But parents can still help their children, whether those kids are already enrolled in college or collegebound, as they make such an important decision that

could very well affect the rest of their lives. • Encourage patience. Today’s college students and college-bound youngsters are living in a world that’s significantly different than the one their parents or even older siblings might have encountered. Global and domestic unemployment rates remain high, and technology is changing the way many industries conduct business. But students trying to pick a major should avoid picking one too quickly. Just because a certain field is experiencing job growth does not mean that field is ideal for all students. Encourage kids to be patient when choosing a major so they can find the

Today’s college students may lean on their parents for advice as they attempt to choose a college major that will help them improve their job prospects after college. (Photo submitted) field that’s right for them, • Suggest a double major. and not just the major they Many of today’s students feel will produce the best job are fully aware of the diffiprospects. cult job market and the cost of a college education. As a result, such students want to choose a major they feel will put them in the best position to land a well-paying job after college. That’s a smart strategy, but it’s also one that overlooks the joy of studying a subject you are passionate about. Parents can simultaneously encourage kids to be smart about their job prospects and pursue their passions by suggesting a double major. For exam-

ple, if your child has a love of art but understands the difficulty in earning a living as an artist, suggest a double major in art and graphic design. This way he or she has more career options upon graduation but still has the chance to pursue a subject he or she is passionate about while in school. • Encourage students to apply for internships. An internship is another great way parents can help kids as they decide on a college major. Internships are rarely easy to get, but some firms hire interns who are still in high school. Parents should encourage kids to pursue internships as early as possible. Internships can provide young students with some real-world experience and give them an accurate glimpse into what their professional lives might be like if they choose a particular field of study. Some kids might be encouraged by an internship, while others might realize a given field is not really for them. Either way, the internship can help narrow down the field of prospective majors for young students.

• Let kids know a major isn’t the same thing as a career. The pressure to choose the right major can be overwhelming for some young students. But parents should let kids know that a major is not the same thing as a career, and many graduates end up working in fields that had little or nothing to do with their majors. For instance, just because a student earns a degree in finance does not mean he or she will end up working on Wall Street. While parents should emphasize the importance of choosing the right major when speaking to their children, they should also let kids know that nothing is ever set in stone. That can help take some of the pressure off students as they make such an important decision. Today’s college students have more to consider when choosing a college major than many of their predecessors. But parents can still take steps to help kids choose the right major without succumbing to the stress that comes with making such a significant decision.

Five things you should never say in a job interview

6XSHULRU8 FRP

Are you having trouble landing a job and you’re not sure why? The right skills and an impressive resume may get you an interview, but getting hired is another story. Experts say it’s all about presenting your character, personality, abilities and values in a positive, relatable light that is attractive to employers. “There’s no such thing as the perfect response to any question in a job interview,â€? says Andrea Kay, career columnist and consultant, and author of the new book, “This is How to Get Your Next Job: An Inside Look at What Employers Really Want.â€? “But what you talk about in the interview could cost you the job offer if you aren’t careful. These are the top five things Kay says you should never talk about or say in a job interview: • Don’t talk about things you can’t back up. Before you state your claim to a quality that sets you apart, think it through. Just saying you’re a great team player or terrific problem solver doesn’t make it so, even if it’s true. Discuss where, how, and exactly what you did that made you so effective. Be ready to cite one or two examples of how you’ve done what you say you can do. • Never say, “I have good people skills.â€? The words

If your search for employment has been frustrating, consider your interviewing technique. A few tweaks to your approach could mean a fantastic job offer. (Photo submitted) are so overused they mean nothing. Consider what it is you do that makes you effective when dealing with others. Are you good at working through difficult issues with co-workers? Do you have a knack for writing and talking to customers in a way that explains things? Tell interviewers about that instead. • Never say, “I just want to learn.â€? Employers aren’t in business to teach, but rather to deliver a service or product. An interview is an opportunity to show an employer how you can apply what you know to the business. So rather than focus solely on your eagerness to learn, tell an interviewer how you will use the skills you have begun to develop to solve problems.

• Avoid too much personal information that has nothing to do with your qualifications. Don’t talk about why you need the job (even if you do have a hard-luck story about sick children or a spouse whose been laid off). Don’t talk about politics, religion or sexual preferences. When a person can’t leave personal issues at home, it makes an employer wonder: does he lack the necessary maturity and good judgment? Is her personal life such a wreck that she may not be dependable? • Don’t talk about irrelevant things that pop into your head. To be less impulsive, literally practice interviewing. Slow down, count to five, and give yourself a chance to consider how your comment will sound.

IVERSON, from 1A off an entrance ramp in Bloomington. Iverson said the impact snapped his neck backward, which made his muscles too swollen for surgery. Iverson said he was prescribed medication, which caused his hip to fracture and gave him trouble with his back. Since then, Iverson has had eight major surgeries, with a ninth surgery, a neurological operation, quickly approaching. The surgeries have included fusions of multiple vertebrae, some

of which came apart and required more operations to fuse together again. He has also endured various hip surgeries, in which Iverson said doctors inserted a steel hip and later replaced with a titanium one after he had an allergic reaction to steel. Doctors also needed to replace multiple screws that had come undone. “I like telling that story,� he said with a smile. “I get to tell people I have screws loose.� The multiple operations have left him with a numbing feeling in his

right hand and nerve damage in his left leg. Iverson worries about his upcoming neurological surgery. “The scary part is they need to shove my throat aside,� he said. “I’m worried it might screw up my vocal chords, but I’m crossing my fingers that doesn’t happen.� Despite the multiple surgeries, Iverson hasn’t let that stop him from doing what he loves. He said he prefers to use his drum set as physical therapy, because he didn’t like doing the exercises prescribed by his

$

doctors. “I never liked rubber bands, you know, physical therapy stuff,� he said. “But drums, those are fun.� Iverson still performs and teaches despite his injuries. He said he gets frustrated when he is in so much pain he can’t physically play, but says he prefers it over the alternative, which is to quit playing altogether. Along with performing at weddings, Iverson can now officiate them. After shadowing a friend and previous student, Iverson recently became ordained after his friend pointed out how good he was with people. “He said I was a real people person, and he liked my philosophy,� Iverson said. “I have a

very good idea of what happens at weddings, you’re kind of like the conductor.� Since completing his training in August, Iverson said he has officiated four weddings. Though he considers himself an atheist, he says he has no problem officiating a religious wedding. “I may be an atheist, but I’m not a judgmental person,� he said. “I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, religious, or non-religious, it doesn’t matter to me.� Iverson is also part of the Community Education District 196 Highland Guitar Ensemble, through which he performs with other guitar players. “It’s basically orchestra for guitar,� he said.

He teaches Monday through Saturday and performs at local bars. He said bars are more fun to play, but don’t make him as much money as weddings. He keeps a tip jar out while he performs, but says he usually uses his tips to pay for the meals and drinks of friends and fans who support him. A car crash left him with multiple surgeries and some pain, but Iverson doesn’t let that stop him from doing what he loves, which is playing music and helping others. As long as he can still play, he says he will keep going. Sara Potzmann is studying journalism at the University of Minnesota.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville October 25, 2013 13A

Sports Playoff football pressure builds this week Linebackers Josh Corcoran and A.J. Westrude are among the leaders on defense. Grant Mosser has been a two-way standout as a defensive back and receiver. Eagan goes into the playoffs on a fourgame losing streak. The Wildcats lost 28-7 at Apple Valley last week as they were unable to get into the end zone until the fourth quarter. Sam Zenner, who did not play in last week’s game, has been a breakaway threat as a running back and quarterback. T.J. Sands also has had some carries. Ian Entzion has been the quarterback when the Wildcats want to throw, with Scott Danielson being one of his top targets. Linebackers Joe Kovach and Hogan Marshall have been among the Wildcats’ statistical leader on defense all season.

It’s playoff time in high school football – and time to find out which teams will play the final prep games ever at the Metrodome. The postseason started Tuesday and ends Nov. 29-30 when seven championship games take place at the Prep Bowl. It is the final Prep Bowl scheduled for the Metrodome, which will be torn down to make way for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium. Apple Valley played St. Louis Park on Tuesday night in a Class 5A, Section 3 quarterfinal. The other teams in the Sun Thisweek coverage area will play at 7 p.m. Friday in the Class 6A, Section 3 quarterfinals. Here’s a look at those games: Farmington (4-4) at Rosemount (7-1) The top-seeded Irish have been rolling, winning seven in a row after losing to Wayzata in double overtime in their season opener. They use a lot of people in their rushing attack – five players have 152 to 516 yards this season – which sets up big plays in the passing game. Junior Dimitri Williams has 15 touchdowns, eight rushing and seven receiving. Quarterback Jackson Erdmann has passed for more than 1,100 yards. Tyler Hartigan has just nine receptions this season, but it seems as if every one is a big play; he averages 27.2 yards per catch and has four touchdowns. Linebackers Craig Syzmanski and Nate Sackett are playmakers on defense, and cornerback Conner Yepsen has returned three interceptions for touchdowns. Farmington won its first four games, after which it appeared in the Associated Press top 10 in Class 6A. The Tigers haven’t won since. Farmington can move the ball through the air, as quarterback Tyler Van Winkle has completed about 55 percent of his passes for almost 1,400 yards. He had two touchdown passes in last week’s 21-14 loss to Shakopee. Jordan DeCroock, Mac Bassett and C.J. Wynings all have more than 20 recep-

Park of Cottage Grove (3-5) at Eastview (4-4) After butting heads with rock-solid defenses from Rosemount, Lakeville North and Prior Lake during the regular season, one thing Eastview might find to its liking is a Park team that allows almost 35 points a game. The Lightning drubbed winless Bloomington Kennedy 35-0 last week, scoring all five of its touchdowns on the ground. If the Lightning has its way, it will want to keep it on the ground with running backs Will Rains and Tommy Hutsell – not only because that’s what the Lightning does best, but because it would sideline a Park offense that has the ability to score. While Park is likely not a threat to go deep in the playoffs, its three victories in 2013 are more than the previous four seasons combined. Expect the ball to be in the air a lot when Park is on offense; the Wolfpack puts it up more than 30 times a game and has five receivers with 19 catches or more. Park’s most dangerous offensive player is Elias Arlington, who has 50 receptions for 706 yards, both team highs, and another 183 on the ground. Quarterback Brandon Alt has thrown for more than 1,700 yards.

Notebook: Section 3 volleyball loaded again Eagan is ranked No. 1, but Lakeville North is No. 1 seed by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North tennis player Lori Ahuja is pictured with her coach, Trish Staehling. Ahuja is playing in the state Class AA singles tournament this week. (Photo submitted)

North’s Ahuja qualifies for state tennis tourney Lori Ahuja became the first Lakeville North player to compete in the state girls tennis tournament since the Lakeville high school split when she played a first-round Class AA singles match Thursday morning at the University of Minnesota. Ahuja, a junior co-captain, took on third-seeded Isabella Lambert of Minnetonka. That match took place after this edition went to press. Lakeville South has had players qualify for the state tournament, as did Lakeville High School before South opened in 2005, but Ahuja is the first North player to advance to state in the twohigh-school era, Lakeville North coach Trish Staehling said. Ahuja was 12-7 going into the state tournament, with most of the losses coming against ranked

players, Staehling said. She was 6-2 against South Suburban Conference opponents, with the losses to Eastview’s Jordan Kopfer and Apple Valley’s Malini Wijesinghe, both of whom also advanced to state. Ahuja was runnerup to Owatonna’s Brianna Hartmann in the Section 1AA tournament. Staehling described Ahuja as a “smart, heavyhitting baseliner type of player.� Ahuja also adjusted her school schedule to be able to practice more during the day. She takes classes during the early bird, first and second hours, then does the rest of her school work online. The state Class AA singles and doubles tournaments run through Friday at the U of M Baseline Tennis Center, with finalround matches scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

Eagan is ranked first in Class 3A volleyball but is the No. 2 seed in the Section 3 playoffs that started this week. How is that possible? Because it’s not just a matter of who you beat, but when you beat them. The section seedings were completed before Eagan played in the Chaska Invitational last weekend, where the Wildcats beat Chaska 25-23, 23-25, 15-9 in the championship match to replace the Hawks at No. 1 in the state rankings. Lakeville North (24-4) is the top seed in Section 3. The Panthers, who are ranked third in Class 3A, went undefeated in the South Suburban Conference, including a four-set victory over Eagan. Eagan (24-2) played Bloomington Kennedy in a quarterfinal match Thursday night while Lakeville North took on Eastview. The section semifinals will be Tuesday

at Prior Lake High School, with the championship match scheduled for Nov. 2, also at Prior Lake. Defending state Class 3A champion Lakeville North also is the three-time defending Section 3 champion. Although some might expect a Lakeville North-Eagan showdown in the championship match, third-seeded Rosemount, fourthseeded Burnsville and fifth-seeded Lakeville South might have something to say about that. Rosemount won 20 matches during the regular season and Lakeville South took Eagan to five sets in a South Suburban match.

Swimming: 3-way tie Prior Lake defeated Lakeville North 99.5-83.5 in a South Suburban Conference girls swimming meet Tuesday night, creating a three-way tie for the conference championship. Prior Lake and North both were 8-1 in conference dual meets, as was Rosemount, which beat Eagan 98-83 on Tuesday. Rosemount’s loss was to Lakeville North, and Prior Lake’s loss was to Rosemount. Lakeville North and Prior Lake are the only

two South Suburban teams in the top 10 of the state Class AA rankings at ninth and 10th. North’s Zoya Wahlstrom and Alena Bodnaruk both won two individual events against Prior Lake and were part of the Panthers’ winning 4x400-yard relay team. Lakeville North, Lakeville South, Burnsville and Apple Valley will compete in the Section 2AA meet Nov. 6-8 at Hidden Oaks Middle School in Prior Lake. Rosemount, Eagan and Eastview are in the Section 3AA meet, also scheduled for Nov. 6-8. The Section 3AA swimming finals will be at Richfield Middle School.

State soccer Wednesday night’s state Class AA girls soccer quarterfinal game between Lakeville North and Mahtomedi took place after this edition went to press. Look for an update at sunthisweek.com.

Local teams excel at MYSA fall tourney Several teams from the Sun Thisweek coverage area qualified for the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association fall state tournament Oct. 12-13 in Rochester. The tournament is for Classic 1, Classic 2 and Classic 3 teams at the Under 11 through U14 age groups. Lakeville won the boys U11 C1 championship, defeating Edina 2-1 in the championship game.

Dakota Rev won the boys U13 C2 division with a 7-0 victory over Blaine in the championship game. It is a hybrid team of sorts, with some players coming from the Dakota Rev core area of Apple Valley and Rosemount, and others coming from Lakeville. The Lakeville players were part of a Lakeville Soccer Association team that won the Under

11 C1 championship at the MYSA summer state tournament. The team is made up of U12 players who are playing up one level. Eagan was runner-up to Minnesota Thunder Academy West in the girls U13 C1 tourney. The Thunder Academy team defeated the Wave 5-4 in the championship game. Valley United was the girls U14 C1 champion, defeating Tonka United

1-0 in a shootout in the final. Valley United did not allow a non-shootout goal in three state tournament games. Other local boys teams qualifying for the state tournament were Valley United boys U11 C2, Valley United boys U12 C3, Lakeville girls U11 C1, Dakota Rev girls U11 C2, Dakota Rev girls U13 C3, Eagan girls U14 C2 and Dakota Rev girls U14 C2.

South Suburban football title goes to Rosemount Irish in control all the way against mistakeprone North

Even before the 2013 football season started, Rosemount’s players and coaches talked about how special it could be. It will be up to them as to whether the season meets their definition of “special.� What was clear to everybody who watched the Irish last week is they will be hard to handle in the playoffs. Rosemount’s 36-7 victory over Lakeville North on Oct. 16 accomplished at least two significant things for the Irish. They won the South Suburban Conference championship for the first time since 2010 (it’s also Rosemount’s third conference title since 2008). They also earned the top seed in Section 3 for the Class 6A playoffs that begin Oct. 25. That means Rosemount (7-1 overall, 7-0 conference) will be at home in the first round against eighth-seeded Farmington, as well as for the second-round game if the Irish advance. After

the second round, Class 6A games are played at neutral sites. The conference title is “a huge achievement, and it was one of our main goals this year,� said linebacker Craig Szymanski, a senior captain. “Of course, one of our other main goals is to get back to the dome.� The Metrodome is where the Irish’s 2012 season ended with a 28-7 loss to Lakeville North in the state semifinals. North also drubbed Rosemount 35-0 in the regular season, and the Irish players who were on that team haven’t forgotten. “Lakeville North was the physically toughest team in our conference last year,� Rosemount coach Jeff Erdmann said. “The last time we won the conference in 2010, we had a physically tough team. “We have another one this year.� Rosemount also was sharp on offense, rolling up 391 yards against a team that had been allowing about five points a game. Lakeville North, which ahared the South Suburban title with Prior Lake last year, would have won the conference with a vic-

tory over Rosemount. But the Panthers’ night started poorly and got progressively worse. It looked as if North would force Rosemount into a three-and-out on its opening drive, but a roughing-the-punter penalty allowed the Irish to keep the ball. They scored 10 plays later on a 1-yard run by Dimitri Williams. Later in the first quarter senior Greg Menard, who the Panthers use extensively on offense and defense, had to leave because of an ankle injury. He watched the rest of the game from the sideline on crutches and with his ankle wrapped. North coach Brian Vossen said the Panthers intended to run a lot of plays from the “Wildcat� formation, with tailback Jamiah Newell taking direct snaps and Menard also in the backfield. North’s plans changed when Menard had to leave. “A lot of wind got sucked out of us,� Vossen said. “(Menard) is a big part of what we do on offense and defense. He’s our best pass rusher and he can bang on offense.� Rosemount’s Conner Yepsen intercepted a Drew Stewart pass in

the second quarter and returned it 43 yards for a touchdowns. It was the third time in four games Yepsen had returned an interception for a score. The woes multiplied for Lakeville North, which took two illegal formation penalties while trying to punt. Once the Panthers did get it off, a short kick allowed Rosemount to take over at the North 38. A few plays later, Jackson Erdmann threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Tray Ashby-Phan and the Irish led 19-0. Rosemount had the ball in its end of the field late in the first half and appeared ready to run out the clock and take its 19-point lead into the locker room – until North jumped offside and gave the Irish a gift first down. At that point, the Irish passed on the conservative approach and went for another score. Jackson Erdmann threw a 64-yard pass to Tyler Hartigan for another score, making it 25-0 with 38 seconds left in the half. “I knew that play was coming in,� Jackson Erdmann said. “(Hartigan) has good hands, good speed and ran a great route.� Lakeville North’s Vos-

sen said the Panthers decided to try to take away Rosemount’s running game and make the Irish beat them through the air. It sounded reasonable in theory, but Rosemount blew that plan to pieces. The Irish still were effective running the ball (171 yards), and Jackson Erdmann completed 13 of 23 passes for 220 yards and three scores. “They were putting eight guys in the box and three deep, so they wanted us to throw it,� Jackson Erdmann said. “We’ve always been a run-first team, but we can throw.� Newell gave North a jolt of energy in the third quarter when he broke up the middle on a 57-yard touchdown run. It didn’t last long. Rosemount responded with a 37-yard field goal by Brandon Ekeren. On the last play of the third quarter, Jackson Erdmann spotted AshbyPhan behind the defense and found him with a 37yard touchdown pass. The Irish picked up a safety in the fourth quarter when Stewart dropped back to punt but saw the snap sail out of his reach. He recovered the ball but ran out of the end zone to minimize the damage. Lakeville North got

Vossen said “we’re hoping the worst-case scenario is he’s ready for the second (playoff) game,� provided the Panthers get past Burnsville. Rosemount was close to an undefeated regular season. The Irish’s only loss was 24-21 to Wayzata in double overtime in the season opener, a game in which the Trojans scored on a deflected pass in the final minute of the second quarter and won when Rosemount missed a field goal in the second overtime. “That first game against Wayzata was such a bummer,� Jeff Erdmann said. But it certainly looks like the Irish are over it as they’ve won every game since, usually in dominating fashion. Lakeville North, meanwhile, had nine days to pick itself up and gear up for what the Panthers hope will be another extended playoff run.

Last week, when Burnsville was down 2-0 in the Section 3AA Championship game, Abby stepped up and took control scoring the first goal and assisting on the tying goal. Burnsville went on to win in a shootout, qualifying for the state tournament. Abby inspired and led her team during this game. She is the team leader in both goals and assists this year and is a senior captain. Abby is a four year varsity player who has 26 goals and 33 assists for her career.

Jared is Farmington’s leading scorer with 12 goals in 7 games for the regular season. In the post season he has added two more, one in our Section 1AA Quarterfinals 4-1 victory against Rochester John Marshall and Jared scored the game-winner in our Section 1AA Semifinal 1-0 victory against #2 seeded Lakeville North. In the 15 games that Jared played in he has scored 14 goals. Of the games that Jared scored in 7 were FHS victories and two were ties. Jared is a 6’4� State Track and Field 800m athlete. He draws attention on the field. He spent the season being double and triple-teamed. Jared has had to battle for the goals he got, either by fighting for an open shot or winning a header. Jared doesn’t have any assists, but I wouldn’t hold this against him. He dishes the ball off exceptionally well. Jared has assists from the last three seasons at the Varsity level.

ROUNDABOUT, from 1A

lands are designed to help guide traffic through the roundabout; in some cases, a raised inner apron around the island is constructed for truck use. County engineers look at roundabouts as another transportation tool. “I certainly expect the number (of roundabouts) to grow,” Washington County engineer Joe Gustafson said. Currently, a handful of roundabouts are proposed for various locations in Washington County. The county’s website offers “Roundabout U,” a page where the public can learn about navigating roundabouts. The knowledge is increasingly useful. Dakota County recently opened a new roundabout on Dodd and Highview in Lakeville. “There’s a little bit of a learning curve,” Johnson said about the public’s reaction. Studies show that about twothirds of the public have negative impressions of roundabouts prior to construction, he said. But within a few months of openings, the perception flips to largely positive, Johnson said. “Some people love them. And they want them everywhere,” Anoka County highway engineer Doug Fischer said. One group not overly fond of roundabouts are specialized truckers. John Ehr, of Perkins Specialized Transportation of Northfield, described the chances of their trucks hauling their oversized loads successfully through roundabouts as “very problematic.” Trying to get around a roundabout usually means finding an alternative route, Ehr said. Ehr credits Wisconsin officials as being more receptive to the needs of speciality truckers. How many roundabouts will Minnesota ultimately have? Johnson points to Australia, to the State of Victoria, similar in population and size to Minnesota. In 1972, there were three roundabouts in Victoria, he said. Today, there’s 5,000. “To me, that’s kind of staggering,” Johnson said. Nationally Minnesota is in the top 10 percent in terms of building roundabouts, Johnson said. But it doesn’t match the flurry to the east. While MnDOT has been building up to 10 roundabouts a year, Wisconsin has been churning out 50 a year, Johnson said. Gov. Mark Dayton drove on roundabouts in Massachusetts and is less than passionate about them. “I can’t say I was fond of them,” Dayton said. “(But) I understand their (MnDOT’s) strategy, which is to maximize the efficiency of a substandard system,” he said. The city of Brooklyn Park built the first roundabout on a state-aid roadway in Minnesota in 1995.

Edina Director of Engineering Wayne Houle said in an email. As anyone who has gulped while watching a car rocket through a red light can attest, intersections can be hairy. About a third of all intersection fatalities occur at signalized intersections in the United States, according to the Federal Highway Administration. About 700 Americans are killed every year in red-light running crashes, it notes. Roundabouts offer an alternative. Studies reveal sharp decreases in accident rates, severity of injury and number of fatalities through the use of roundabouts. Roundabouts play a role in Minnesota’s declining highway death rate, Johnson indicated. A roundabout was installed in October 2008 on Highway 3 at the entrance to Southern Hills Golf Course in Farmington. A recent study in Wisconsin, which has more than 200 roundabouts and is aggressively building more, conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and University of Wisconsin researchers focusing on 24 roundabouts in the Badger State, showed the number of fatal and injury crashes dropping by about half. A 9 percent accident rate decrease across all 24 roundabouts was achieved. Roundabouts are proving themselves in Minnesota, too. A study by MnDOT of roundabouts on Highway 5 in Washington County, Highway 7 in Carver County and Highway 13 in Scott County showed an overall 41 percent decline in crashes, with a 70 percent decline in injuries, and no fatalities. This is compared to two fatalities prior the construction of the roundabouts. The Highway 13 and County Road 2 roundabout west of Elko New Market has been profiled by the Federal Highway Administration as a textbook example of where a roundabout quieted a deadly intersection after steps like larger stop signs, striping and flashing lights fell short. A Scott County official called the roundabout wildly successful. While studies show accident rates on multiple-lane roundabouts as similar to other intersections, crashes tend to be less severe, Johnson said. That’s because, though rear-end collisions or sideswiping occurs, chances for violent, T-bone style crashes are greatly reduced. Cost of constructing roundabouts is comparable to constructing signalized intersections, between $1 million to $1.5 million, Johnson said. Mini-roundabouts, or roundabouts where the island in the center is simply a round hump, can cost much less. The islands are not designed for pedestrians; that’s exactly where Tim Budig can be reached at tim.butraffic engineers do not want them dig@ecm-inc.com. to congregate, Johnson said. The is-

BISSEN, from 1A

the lost courses he wrote about closed. “The Great Depression took a significant toll on many Minnesota golf courses, and many of those that were able to struggle through the Depression were then done in by the domestic effects of World War II,” he said. Bissen, who works as a sports copy editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, began working on the book in July 2012 and completed writing in May. “I wrote a story for Minnesota Golfer Magazine on lost golf courses in the Twin Cities area. There were five to 10 of them and, as I did the research, I just really got hooked on the subject,” Bissen said. “The idea simmered around in my brain for a couple years about doing more research and maybe writing something. Then last July I took the leap and started researching hard.” Bissen found that a large swath of lost golf courses exist in the southern part of the state – about 25 to 30 – though he had no hypothesis as to why. The book is close to 300 pages and takes a look at 87 lost courses. “I heard of others but couldn’t confirm their existence. I have little doubt there are 120 or more,” he said. Significant chapters or entries in the book explore courses in Brooklyn Park, Chanhassen/Shakopee/Chaska, Columbia Heights, Gem Lake/ White Bear Lake, Mendota Heights, Minneapolis, North St. Paul, Richfield, St. Louis Park, St. Paul

and Stillwater. When possible, the book explores what the former courses have become. One turned into an airport runway, another into part of a state forest, and dozens have become residential settlements. In recent years, golf courses in Rosemount (Brockway), Eagan (Carriage Hills) and Burnsville (Orchard Gardens) have made way for housing developments. These are not included in the book, along with another one, Parkview Golf Course in Eagan, which was recently sold and will be the site of a residential neighborhood. The book is illustrated with historical images as well as modern images produced by golf photographer Peter Wong. It took almost a year to complete the research and writing phase of production, and now Bissen is faced with printing and marketing. “It’s an enormous job, and you have to step out of your skin,” he said. In addition to publishing the book, Bissen is setting up an interactive Google site at www.ForeGoneGolf.com that maps out the location of lost courses. An avid golfer himself, Bissen won the Ma Cal Grove Country Club championship in 1980 and played the sport for Winona State. He’s been writing about golf for 35 years and has three grown children. “I like it, and I like what I do,” Bissen said.

Lakeville residents who remembered the course that closed in the late 1930s along with the amusement park that was owned by George O’Rourke. Lakeville resident George Warweg, whose uncle owned the amusement park, still lives on the grounds, and Bissen said Warweg was most engaging in talking about the place. “A good share of the reconstruction of the golf course and amusement park was aided by conversations and a visit with him,” Bissen said. Bissen also spoke to Betty Weichselbaum, whose grandparents emigrated to America from Germany in 1856 and made 160 acres along Lake Marion home, starting up the Weichselbaum Resort that boomed during the 1900s. “She did not remember the course in detail but did speak favorably about it,” he said. Weichselbaum retired in 1983 after teaching for 39 years, including 26 in Lakeville. “Antlers Amusement Park was such a prominent and fascinating place,” Bissen said. He said there were plans possibly in place during its latter years to expand the course on the western shore to 27 holes. “Judging only by the topography and the two or three photos I’ve seen, it likely was a most respectable golf course,” Bissen said. He said the course, from all indications, closed for the same reasons many of

the case and put it above others. If we feel we can explain the so-called activity or feel it happening based on drug use, alcohol use – or if there is a safety risk to our clients or our team – we do not proceed, and do our best to put the clients in touch with someone who can help them. Q: What are you looking for when you conduct an investigation? A: Our first task is to look for everyday logical explanations (for what) our clients feel is paranormal activity. We also look for activity that validates the clients claims. Q: What type of equipment do you bring on investigations? A: We bring a whole array of equipment. Red headlamps, digital voice recorders – to record EVP, or electronic voice phenomena – infrared cameras and a digital video

I believe fear comes from not knowing what is going on, so rather than get scared I try to find out the cause. One thing I know is, if you’re afraid of the dark, then this profession is definitely not for you.

Q: How does DCPS decide to investigate a possible haunting or paranormal presence? Do you actively seek out sites or do people with a problem contact you? A: We get our cases both ways. We are always as a team looking for new cases. These are mostly historic business locations. We are also contacted by clients about investigating their homes and sometimes businesses. The process to do a case is started by a phone interview, and we use a questionnaire that lets the clients describe in detail what is happening. We then schedule a face-toface interview and get a brief tour of the location. We take all this information and decide if an investigation is warranted or not. If the activity is affecting kids, we usually take

We use our own money to buy equipment, have a website, etc. We ask that if you feel you need to pay us you take that money and donate it to someone or a charity that needs it. One thing we will not turn down is equipment donations. Q: What’s the most frightened you’ve been during an investigation? A: I’m answering for myself on this one, but I don’t recall being frightened at any time – you kind of have to put your fears aside and stay composed. I get uncomfortable in different areas based on what I feel. It can be loss of breath, h e a d a c h e s, pressure on your body.

Spirit activity keeping you up at night? The Dakota County Paranormal Society is happy to lend a hand. Founded in 2008, the eight-member, Hastingsbased paranormal team has conducted ghost hunts at venues throughout Minnesota – including investigations at the St. James Hotel in Red Wing, the Levee Cafe in Hastings, and the Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre. Their goal is to provide answers to homeowners and business owners who are wondering if spirits are running amok in the dark. Investigators serve on a volunteer basis, and the group doesn’t charge a fee for its services. The paranormal society will be giving a presentation on its eerie investigative work on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the Heritage Library in Lakeville. The 6-8 p.m. event is free to attend and will include video from the group’s “spirit communication� sessions. DCPS co-founder Gary Jahnke spoke with this newspaper recently about the team’s strategies for contacting the spirit world, tools of the ghosthunting trade, and why paranormal investigation isn’t for everyone. Q: How did you initially get interested in the paranormal? A: I got into this field because of experiences when I was young, and the question, “Is there life after death?� My parents had some activity in their home and I wanted to know more. I discovered some shows on TV and thought “I want to do that, I can run a team,� so I looked online and found someone just starting a team, and helped get it off the ground.

recorder, dowsing rods, walkie talkies ‌ but our most important tool is always ourselves and our five senses, as well as our “sixth sense.â€? Q: What’s been the most compelling evidence you’ve gathered to suggest the presence of ghosts or a haunting at a particular site? A: Our most compelling evidence would have to be our communication sessions with spirits. We use dowsing rods for this and we record the whole conversation. We get a lot of information about who is there and why. Q: What questions do you pose during a spirit communication? What makes a communication successful? A: We pose “yesâ€? or “noâ€? questions. How it works is we establish if there is something there and we ask that it speak with us through the dowsing rods. The spirit manipulates the rods by moving them around. We ask that if the rods cross that means “yesâ€? and if they don’t it is a “no.â€? We ask questions like is it male or female, the age, their name, and try to find out who they are and why they are here. To find out names we start slowly saying the alphabet and have them cross the rods at the letters that spell their name. It’s a very time-consuming and mentally exhausting process, but we can give our clients answers and in most cases we help the spirit as well. Q: DCPS never charges for an investigation – why not? And how does the group fund its activities? A: We believe that this is not an exact science and everything we know at this point is theory-based, and therefore there is no true “professionalâ€? who is an expert – so why charge?
