Ceremony held Aug. 30 for

plaque unveiling by Andrew Miller

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

About 200 people gath-ered at Galaxie Avenue and County Road 46 at the Apple Valley-Lakeville border on Sunday, Aug. 30, to honor the memory of the friend and fam-ily member they lost to a motorcycle crash this sum-mer. The gathering saw the unveiling of a permanent memorial for 29-year-old Lakeville resident Jacob G. Lindholm, who died July 25 when his motor-cycle collided with a car on County Road 46 just east of Galaxie, about four miles from his home. The memorial consists of a tree and stone plaque carved with an image of Lindholm, along with a temporary set of wooden crosses in the tree line. Apple Valley resi-dent Matt Falco, a friend of Lindholm’s, said he

reached out to Dakota County officials to get the proper permit for the me-morial. “Jake was my best friend for almost 20 years and we were pretty much brothers,” said Falco. “Jake was truly someone special who made a huge impact on everybody he came into contact with. Everyone knew him and loved him.” A funeral service for Lindholm, a 2004 Apple Valley High School gradu-ate and an avid hockey

player, was held July 30 at Hosanna Church in Lake-ville. Lindholm is one of 47 riders who have died in motorcycle crashes in Minnesota this year as of the end of August, ac-cording to the state’s De-partment of Public Safety.

Thirty-one of those riders, including Lindholm, were not wearing helmets. Friends and fam-ily members are also plan-ning a website to honor Lindholm, Falco said. The website, JakeLindholm.com, was still under con-struction as of Wednesday.

“He was something spe-cial,” said Falco. “He still carried that sparkle in his eye that most of us lost as we grew up. … He was a legend in many of our eyes.” Email Andrew Miller at [email protected].

Roundabout open in Lakeville Dakota County’s first two-lane roundabout opened at the intersection of county roads 50 and 60 in Lakeville on Aug. 28. The intersection handles about 30,000 vehicles ev-ery day. The roundabout is anticipated to reduce the potential for delays and severe crashes, according to a Dakota County release. Built by Park Construction, the roundabout was completed on time despite an aggressive schedule and weather delays. The area is still an active work zone and construction will continue for the next month, so motorists should use extra caution. County officials say the new intersection will be easy to navigate if drivers follow these rules: • Pick a lane depending on where you intend to go. If you are making a left turn or a U-turn, you must be in the left lane. If you are making a right turn, you must be in the right lane. If you intend to go straight, you can use either lane. • Slow down as you approach the roundabout. This will allow you to be prepared to yield appropriately to pedestrians and bicyclists, and then to traffic in the roundabout. • Yield to all traffic in the roundabout. Traffic in either lane of the roundabout may be exiting, so it’s important to yield to all traffic in the roundabout, re-gardless of which lane it is in. Roundabouts aim to improve the flow of traffic, have lower long-term operational costs and reduce the number of fatal and injury crashes.

Balancing sports, school and lifeEnrichment class

scheduled for Sept. 14

by Andy RogersSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Finding the right life bal-ance is one of the keys to success and happiness. David Thom hopes that message reaches students before they learn the hard way. Farmington Community Education is providing an adult enrichment class for parents and students from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Farmington High School Lecture Hall, 20655 Flag-staff Ave. Thom will speak on the how to balance athletics and academics as well as how to prepare for college.

The crux of his philoso-phy lies within STAY, an acronym for standards, time management, adult deci-sions and you, yourself. Thom was inspired to put his thoughts into a presentation following a conversation with a parent who signed up for commu-nity education basketball in Farmington. “She said everyone seems to think their kid is the great-est ball player on the face of the earth and they’re all going to get scholarships,” Thom said. “I thought, ‘Is that still going on?’” He said despite every-one knowing how rare it is to be offered a scholarship, families go overboard. He said he knows a family that spends $10,000 a year for specialized training for two of their children.

“That’s how crazy it is out there,” Thom said. “That money could go a long way to help their chil-dren go to college. Those or-ganizations say they can get you a college scholarship, but unless a coach is a col-lege coach, no one can guar-antee anything. If you have to pay to get a scholarship, don’t do it. “If your kid is good enough, they’re going to be found.” It doesn’t happen for ev-eryone, but there’s life be-yond a scholarship. Thom’s presentation is not about giving up your dreams. “I don’t want to discour-age anyone,” Thom said. “If you can do it, do it. There plenty of opportunities to at least try to play somewhere

Win at all costs not welcome in Farmington

Renewed focus on education, fair play in district



Farmington athletics and activities director Bill Tschida would like the district to focus on the educa-tional aspect of high school sports. It’s not the start of a war on winning, rather about the process of getting there. “I like winning, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t like winning at the cost of someone’s self-confidence or self-worth,” Tschida said during last week’s School Board meeting, where he presented the “Why We Play” initiative by the Minnesota State High School League. “The best coaches figure out the best way to balance those things. A good coach will get after an athlete for not hustling or for not doing the right

Local school officials chatted with U.S. Rep. John Kline before his annual roundtable to formally discuss federal education policy. Kline said he expects contentious debate on a number of issues when the federal legislative sessions resume Sept. 8, including trying to reconcile the House and Senate versions of legislation to replace No Child Left Behind. Kline said it is expected he will chair the conference. “We will have serious discussions about where we can come together,” Kline said. He said their goal is to get the legislation to President Barack Obama’s desk this year. Included at the meeting were ISD 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder, School Board Chair Michelle Volk and School Board Members Bob Erickson, Jim Skelly and Kathy Lewis. (Photo by Laura Adelmann)

But preferred BRT location

in Heart of City meets resistance

by John GessnerSUN THISWEEK


Burnsville’s Heart of the City is the likely final stop for the first phase of a bus rapid transit line along Interstate 35W. But the exact spot hasn’t been chosen, and the Da-kota County commissioner from Burnsville has resist-ed the favored location of regional transit planners. Planners want to choose the site soon to keep the $150.7 million Orange Line line from downtown Min-neapolis to Burnsville on track for construction be-ginning in 2017 and open-ing by the end of 2019. “This fall is when we’re looking to resolve that lo-cation,” said Charles Carl-son, senior manager for bus rapid transit for Metro Transit, which will manage the line. Local and regional au-thorities agree that the Heart of the City area south of Highway 13 is the desired location, especially after plans to build the stop at the Burnsville Transit Station across the highway fell through. But three county com-missioners, including Liz Workman of Burnsville, are wary of a proposed site on Travelers Trail west of Nicollet Avenue. Carlson said the site has ample parking at the near-by Heart of the City Park-ing deck, which serves the adjacent Ames Center and other visitors to the down-town Heart of the City area. “That’s an area we see a lot of synergy with,” Carl-son said. “Our peak time wouldn’t be when (Ames Center) event times are.” The Heart of the City Park and Ride Ramp also offers nearby spaces, he said. With Travelers Trail, Workman sees a potential repeat of the flawed Red

Line BRT stop at the Ce-dar Grove Transit Station in Eagan. The Travelers Trail stop, like the Cedar Grove station, is “offline” — a distance from the main route. After Red Line com-muters grew frustrated by the circuitous route to the Cedar Grove station, Da-kota County and regional officials decided to build an “online” BRT station in the median of Cedar Avenue. Riders will take a walkway over Cedar to get back to their cars at the transit sta-tion. The fix is expected to knock 10 minutes off the Red Line commute. The Travelers Trail site poses similar problems, with buses leaving the free-way and re-entering via Burnsville Parkway, Work-man said. That’s not genu-ine bus “rapid” transit, she said. “You can’t call the Trav-elers Trail station BRT,” said Workman, chair of the Dakota County Regional Rail Authority, comprised of the seven county com-missioners. “You can call it local service, you can call it express service, you can call it whatever — but it’s not BRT.” The Travelers Trail site “isn’t exactly comparable” to the Cedar Grove Tran-sit Station, Carlson coun-ters. There, buses must go through 10 signalized intersections after leav-ing Cedar Avenue, while the Travelers Trail site has only one signal delay, at Burnsville Parkway and I-35W, Carlson said. Buses would exit the freeway to Highway 13 and Nicollet Avenue and re-enter from Burnsville Parkway, he said. “There’s about a 10-minute delay for almost everybody who rides the Red Line. But we don’t have nearly that kind of de-lay — it’s two minutes or so in the case of the Travelers Trail site,” Carlson said. Commissioners Mary Liz Holberg and Nancy Schouweiller share her concerns, Workman said.

A second Heart of the City site being considered, further south at Travelers Trail and Burnsville Park-way, would offer “more the true form of bus rapid transit because it’s right next to the freeway,” Work-man said. The first Travel-ers Trail site is better because of its ample parking, according to Carlson. Another site, on the Burnsville Parkway bridge, has been discussed but judged unsafe, said Steve Albrecht, Burnsville public works director. A true online station in the freeway median is im-possible because there’s no room, Albrecht said. The city, which isn’t a funding partner in the Or-ange Line, has no say in the station location but would support either Heart of the City site, Albrecht said. “The Heart of the City is the type of destination point that Metro Transit wants on the Orange Line,” he said. “There’s a lot of things going on there. It’s meant to be a more transit-oriented area.” Metro Transit had origi-nally hoped to build the stop at the Burnsville Tran-sit Station on the north side of Highway 13. But it’s already too busy, local officials countered. Carlson said Metro Transit will continue work-ing on the issue with other agencies involved in the project and local elected of-ficials. The Dakota County Regional Rail Authority has yet to vote on a funding commitment for its share of the project cost, Carlson said. Local funding in Hen-nepin and Dakota counties will cover about 10 percent of the cost, he said. The second phase of the project will extend the Orange Line into Lakev-ille, with a possible stop at Burnsville Center.

Ashley Laganiere will be recognized for her work ensuring the livelihood of veterans throughout Minnesota next week. The Farmington vet-eran will receive the “On the Rise” 2015 Veterans’ Voices Award Sept. 11, which ac-knowledges veterans who are making an ex-ceptional difference in their communities and throughout the state. Throughout her ca-reer, Laganiere has met a number of previous award winners, so she was humbled to receive the award. “They’ve all given so much to the communi-ty,” Laganiere said. “It’s very exiting.” Laganiere is a third-generation Army veter-an. She joined the Min-nesota Army National Guard in 2002 when she was 17 and trained as an interrogator. She was injured during ba-sic training after nearly four years of service. “I was kind of lost after that,” she said. “I joined so young and that was my plan for my life.” But, as one door closed, a new one opened. She went to college and took a job as an el-ementary teacher for a year. When a job with U.S. Department of Veter-

ans Affairs in St. Paul opened, she polished her resume and got the job. She developed claims for service-con-nection and special-ized in development of military sexual trauma claims. But she felt she could do more. Last year she took on the responsibilities of Gold Star Families, a program supporting the healing process for fam-ilies of service members who lost their lives in combat. She plans a yearly Gold Families weekend retreat to sup-port families of the fall-en. She has plans to ex-pand it to a year-round program. “It helps address dif-ferent stages of grief,” she said. “There are families who lost some-one a few years ago and families who lost a member 10 years ago.” She also helped host an event at Valleyfair last month where fami-

lies got together for a few smiles. “It was a brainchild of two mothers who felt like people needed to be reminded that it was OK to laugh,” she said. Last year, Laganiere took on the women vet-erans coordinator role with the Minnesota Department of Veter-ans Affairs. She ensures women have equitable access to benefits and services. “Women veterans are more likely to be home-less, homeless with children, unemployed and more likely to be divorced,” she said. “It’s about increasing awareness and ensuring they’re getting the same benefits.” She was one of 25 other veterans nomi-nated by Minnesotans who have both honor-ably served and shown exemplary community service. This event is part of the Humanities Center’s Veterans’ Voices pro-gram to call attention to the stories and con-tributions of veterans. She will receive the award on Sept. 11 dur-ing a ceremony at the University of St. Thom-as. Other local On The Rise awards include Ea-gan’s Josh Savage and Tyler Sanchez.

Peterson, Christensen finally came around To the editor: I read Rep. Roz Peter-son and Rep. Drew Chris-tensen’s Aug. 27 letter re-garding education funding increases with interest. It took Gov. Mark Day-ton vetoing the House Re-publican school funding plan, which would have forced teacher layoffs and program cuts in the dis-tricts they represent, to get these two Representatives to finally vote to provide adequate funding. The original House Republican education budget wouldn’t have kept pace with infla-tion, only increasing school budgets by 0.6 percent. I’m glad they finally decided to provide more funding for schools, but House Republicans should

not have forced the legisla-tive session into overtime. Peterson and Christensen could have voted for the House DFL education budget, which would have raised school funding by nearly $800 million. They both voted against provid-ing much-needed resources to schools. They could have voted to fund optional all-day everyday preschool and to provide more funding for special education, but they voted no. Instead of moving Minnesota’s K-12 schools forward, their op-position has us standing still. They also could have voted for the House DFL plan to continue the tuition freeze for public college students, but they voted no. There’s no reason tuition should be going up when Minnesota is sitting on a $1 billion unspent surplus. Minnesota college students

and their families are pay-ing more for school so the Republicans could hold on to $1 billion for an election year tax bill. For college students and their families, the tuition increase feels just like a tax increase. And it’s totally unnecessary. Lakeville residents Pe-terson’s district will vote on whether to increase their school property tax levy, along with nine other met-ro school districts. Metro superintendents told us last year that they pre-ferred a 3 percent increase in education funding, but Republicans offered only 0.6 percent. Dayton and DFL legislators finally got Republicans to accept a 2 percent increase during the special session. When Minnesota has $1 billion in an unspent budget surplus, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that districts have to look to raising property taxes to

meet their needs. These leg-islators could have stepped up and provided the lead-ership to properly fund Minnesota’s K-12 schools. But they didn’t. Rep. MELISSA HORTMANDFL-Brooklyn Park, Dis-trict 36B, deputy minority leader

Just the facts To the editor: The writer responding to my letter of last week (Meaningless ‘War on Coal?’ Aug. 28) requests, then misses, most of the facts about the so-called “Clean Power Plan.” She predicts Minnesota tem-peratures will be “9 to 11 degrees warmer by the end of the century.” But EPA itself says this regulation changes essentially noth-ing – only 0.018 degrees – about that. Calamities like “floods and droughts” (hard to have both) are un-affected by this plan. But according to global warm-ing theory, Minnesota is supposed to be drier and California wetter.

Certainly coal plant emissions other than car-bon dioxide can be harm-ful, but those have been largely eliminated by the Clean Air Act. The only purpose of this “Plan” is to redefine CO2 – as was never intended by Con-gress – as a “pollutant,” though it is harmless to humans and actually ben-efits plants. Of course, if you believe “we can get 40 percent of our electri-cal power from renewable energy 24/7” then why not? Because it is, in fact, very unlikely and costly. The av-erage “availability” of wind power is about one-third, and for solar in Minneso-ta, especially in winter, it’s more like 10 percent. Add the tremendous amount of land — crop land — that these diffuse power sources require and you may un-derstand why wind power today costs roughly three times what coal power does, and why solar panels may not pay for themselves in 100 years. If renewable energy were cheaper and reliably available, we would all buy it, without government co-

ercion or subsidies. But to pay more for energy, with essentially zero benefit to the climate, does not make sense. And that’s a fact.

What the 14th Amendment grants To the editor: Just what kind of faulty research did Paul Hoffin-ger do to come to such an anachronistic belief as his letter to this paper stated on Aug. 28? Hoffinger uses some false assumptions in-tertwined with a Greek syl-logism for the sole purpose of besmirching U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville. For Hoffinger to assert that the 14th Amendment, passed shortly after the Civil War, now gives illegal aliens citizenship is noth-ing short of a giant canard coupled with a surfeit of a lot of logorrhea.

Minnesota says ‘No More’ to sexual, domestic violence

Center for School Change earns kudos for PSEO school study

by Tony ComptonSPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

No more, ‘what did she think was go-ing to happen?’ No more, ‘what was she wearing?’ No more damaged lives. No more excuses. These are some of the words Min-nesota residents expressed in public ser-vice announcements for Minnesota Says No More, a 360 Communities project aligned with the national No More cam-paign. No More’s aim is to engage the public in conversation about the difficult issues surrounding sexual and domestic violence and ultimately eliminate sexual and domestic abuse altogether. The print, video and social media project features celebrity actors and professional athletes confronting these issues directly with their own No More statements. Minnesota Says No More is a grass-roots answer to the national campaign and features concerned citizens, survivors of domestic and sexual assault, elected officials, law enforcement, advocates, and more. It is an opportunity for all Min-nesotans to stand up and be heard as we work to shift a culture to no longer allow sexual and domestic violence to persist. Recently the country has seen some gains in shifting the cultural norms around sexual and domestic violence. Violence prevention and intervention programs around the country, including 360 Communities, have been working dil-igently for decades to provide shelter and resources to survivors, and to educate the public. Projects like No More have been a boost to these efforts. No More has been instrumental, for example, in shifting how we view and address domes-tic and sexual violence in professional sports. We now see No More public ser-vice announcements during NFL foot-ball games featuring current and former

players, such as New York Giants quar-terback Eli Manning and Hall of Fame former Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter. However, the battle to shift minds is far from over in this country. You don’t need to look hard to find high profile ex-amples that show victim blaming and a “rape culture” entrenched in our every-day lives. Bill Cosby recently hired attorney Monique Pressley to help him fend off the allegations of sexual assault made by scores of women. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Pressley as-serted that “women have responsibility. We have responsibility for our bodies, we have responsibility for our decisions, we have responsibility for the ways that we conduct ourselves.” She insisted that this was not victim-blaming, and that she was not speaking about Cosby’s accusers. She says she was talking about all women. Some might think this sounds reason-able. You know, “we all have to take per-sonal responsibility.” In fact, what she is saying is that many women who are raped somehow bare responsibility for their victimhood – essentially deflecting responsibility away from rapists. This is victim blaming. Men should never rape. Period. When a high profile attorney is so off-base with her understanding of sex-ual violence, it is not only apparent why women would be hesitant to come for-ward to report their assaults, but it also underscores the work we still need to do

to change the culture. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 30 per-cent of women and 10 percent of men in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner. That works out to 24 people every minute, or 12 million people over the course of a year. In a national survey, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men re-ported experiencing rape at some time in their lifetime. According to a Washing-ton Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 1 out of 5 college women report being subjected to sexual assault. We know these crimes are underre-ported for a variety of reasons, including: • shame, • victim blaming, • humiliation of reliving the crime over and over, • lack of confidentiality when report-ing, • concern for safety and • knowing the perpetrator/not want-ing to get them in trouble. We need to level the playing field for survivors of abuse by removing the mountain of obstacles they face in seek-ing justice. Otherwise, many will not re-port abuse and many more will be vic-timized. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 68 percent of sexual assaults go unreported. They say for every 100 rapes, 32 get reported. From that pool, there are only seven ar-rests. Of those seven, three are referred to a prosecutor, and only two end in a felony conviction. Recently, Alec Neal pleaded guilty to raping his former girlfriend, Sarah Su-per. His sentencing hearing in a Ramsey County courtroom was noteworthy. Neal had entered Super’s apartment, waited for her to come home, and raped her at knifepoint. Neal’s defense attorney, Rob-

ert Sicoli, cited mental illness as a con-tributing factor, and was quoted in the Pioneer Press as saying to Ramsey Coun-ty District Court Judge Judith Tilsen, “Alec’s actions were incongruous with the man. … He really is not that kind of person.” Tilsen rejected that claim, tell-ing Neal, “You are the kind of person who would do this. You did it. And as soon as you can face that, you can move forward.” When survivor Sarah Super had her chance to speak, she dismissed Neal’s claim of mental illness and assert-ed that he is a product of privilege who felt entitled to her body. This case was an example of the phrase “no more excuses” in action. We need to hold abusers accountable for their choices and actions. Together, we can shift the dialogue sur-rounding sexual and domestic violence. The work of local and national violence prevention and intervention advocacy groups, supported by movements like the No More campaign, is helping to change the culture. We need your voice. You can take part by heading to 360Communities.org, viewing and sharing our Minnesota Says No More public service announce-ments, signing our No More pledge, and supporting 360 Communities’ violence prevention and intervention work. It is encouraging to see so much prog-ress in the country already, but we have much more work to do if we are going to eliminate sexual and domestic violence. If each of us can shift one person to ac-tion on these issues, we can create a world where everyone’s sense of safety is secure.

Minnesota has some of the nation’s best programs that enable high school students to take free accredited college classes. This includes the Postsecondary Enrollment Options program, which is open to students grades 10-12. In order for students and their par-ents to make good planning decisions on taking college classes, state law requires that all district and charter schools pro-vide “up-to-date” information on their websites and distribute materials to stu-dents in grades 8-11 and their families by March 1 of each year. The Center for School Change, lo-cated in St. Paul, has released stunning results of a study involving 128 school districts and charter schools, including one from each of the 87 counties. The study revealed that fewer than 1 percent of those districts provided students with

complete information on their websites on six major points of the Postsecondary Enrollment Options law. Moreover, the CSC study found that some districts did not provide any infor-mation on their websites on the PSEO options. Most provided only part of the information on such basic facts that un-der PSEO, tuition, books and fees are free, or that there is a 10th-grade PSEO option, or that students had to declare their intention to take college courses by May 30. This is shameful. Under PSEO, students in grade 10 who meet certain standards can take technical and career courses. Students in grades 11 and 12 can take free college

credit courses either at the colleges or on-line. Tuition, books and fees are all paid for students who take these courses. Money to pay transportation costs of students from low-income families is provided. The Minnesota Department of Edu-cation, to its credit, has acted swiftly on learning the results of the study by the Center for School Change and its direc-tor, Joe Nathan. (Nathan writes a weekly column for ECM Publishers Inc. news-papers). The MDE is revising its website with revisions made by the 2015 Minnesota Legislature. And on Aug. 14, MDE sent a note to every district and charter school urging them to take the message and transmit it via their websites to help inform parents. We urge districts and charters to provide this information by

January 2016, when students begin reg-istering for the 2016-17 school year. A follow-up study by the Center for School Change is planned this fall, an-ticipating the March 1 date required by the law to notify students and parents. ECM Publishers Editorial Board com-mends the Center for School Change, Nathan, assistant director Marisa Gustafson and intern Diana Chao for their revealing study. Since 1989, CSC has worked directly to improve educa-tion, with schools, families, community members and policy-makers. More on the center can be found at www.center-forschoolchange.org.

slaves and former slaves full citizenship and the great debates that occurred in Congress and the press made that the locus of all related discussions. It was indeed passed to right of-ficial prior decisions, espe-cially the Dred Scott deci-sion. Later decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court elucidated these rights in the overthrow of Plessy v. Ferguson as well as the vot-ing rights for all citizens. Likewise, Brown v. Educa-tion affirmed the rights of African Americans to have equal opportunities in edu-cation and to correct en-demic racial biases against them. For Hoffinger to now conclude that the 14th Amendment was created to include automatic citizen-ship for illegal aliens is the height of sophistry and no letter of apology can erase his benighted contretemps.

RICHARD IFFERTEagan

Talking rationally about political ideas To the editor: As a Republican wom-an, I want to talk Avi Me-

shar of Burnsville off the ledge. His letter “Why to Vote Republican in 2016” Aug. 27 sounds like time clocked on the couch. I can honestly say, that Republican women are alive and well. We actually talk about items in clear-cut, logical and meaning-ful ways. We understand the short- and long-term consequences of our ac-tions. And we love our brethren and care about the future of our children and country. We aren’t playing the fear factor on global warming and the days of impending doom on countless created crisis situations. Too bad he has revealed himself as using the “we’re all gonna die” factor if the evil Republicans win. Too bad he’s not ready and willing to hear dialogue on how to fix things versus de-termining that you’re good, we’re bad, the end. Bottom line, we have a lot of talent that has come forward to present ideas, to rationally talk about the realities and scrub the political-speak. If he needs any factual data, read the U.S. and state constitutions, the countless laws already on the books and the history of our na-tion and the world. It’s not hard to come to the conclu-sion that we are much safer

in a atmosphere of law and history than a screaming tirade of terrified Demo-cratic doomsdayers. Have no fear! The Republicans are adults in the room.

Vaccinations help the frail To the editor: Flu season is coming up. I am a medically frag-ile adult who cannot get vaccinated. When you say that “I am not in a high risk group for the flu,” and deny a vaccine, you are hurting those of us who cannot receive a vac-cine. You may not be high risk, but people you love may be. Infants you see in the grocery store, too little to be vaccinated, are. You may never get sick, but the thing about vaccines is they don’t just protect you, they protect the people around you and the people you love. Please get your vac-cine if you are medically able – protect those of us who would love to get one but cannot. Be grateful you are healthy enough to get one and stay healthy.

Burnsville Fire Muster Schedule of Events

Burnsville Fire Muster back for the 36th time Burnsville’s community celebration includes big parade

by John GessnerSUN THISWEEK


If you’re looking for something new at this year’s Burnsville Fire Muster, start with Nicol-let Avenue, the busiest road next to the festival grounds in Civic Center Park. After a summer of or-ange cones on Nicollet, which is undergoing rehab work from McAndrews

Road to Highway 13, a newly paved surface with all lanes open is expected in time for the post-Labor Day Fire Muster. “The latest word is that it will be done,” said event Chairman Tom Taylor, who has kept in touch with the city’s Public Works Department. The 36th annual event will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8, through Sunday, Sept. 13, with most events from

Wednesday through Satur-day in Civic Center Park, Nicollet Avenue and 130th Street. The Fire Muster me-dallion hunt in city parks kicks off the festivities at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. A community worship ser-vice hosted by Illumina-tion Church wraps them up at 10 a.m. Sunday in Civic Center Park. A complete schedule is at www.burnsvillefiremus-

ter.com. The Fire Muster board of directors strives to con-tinually improve the event while building on its tradi-tions, said Taylor, who has served five years as chair-man and two as co-chair-man. “It is the one time of the year that the entire community can come to-gether,” he said. “That includes businesses, volun-teer groups and residents.

And that’s our mission.” Events will include Fire Muster staples such as the Fire Truck Parade and Community Parade (run in succession on Saturday), carnival rides Friday and Saturday, live music, displays of old fire engines, firefighting and police demonstrations and many children’s activities. Burnsville adopted the Fire Muster as its an-nual community festival

in 1980. It evolved from late 1970s summer events led by Burnsville resident and fire-equipment col-lector Roger Jackson. A display of fire equipment at the former Diamond-head Mall was followed by short parades up Nicollet Avenue. Fire musters — celebratory gatherings of fire and rescue service per-sonnel — have long been popular in New England and elsewhere.

Farmington man, 94, flies in a bomber once again

by Eric HagenSUN THISWEEK


Thirty-five times during World War II, Farming-ton man Harold Laursen crawled into a tight space to protect the bottom of a B-17 bomber from German fighter planes. The former ball turret gunner, 94, rode in a B-17 for only the third time since his last mission more than 70 years ago when Alumi-num Overcast paid a visit to the Anoka County-Blaine Airport on July 28. As the propellers spun to life and the plane rum-bled underneath him, he watched the ground rush away as he peered from his seat through an open side window. He looked around in awe and then closed his eyes to reminisce. When at cruising alti-tude, his daughter, Joan Storlie, helped him stand up so he could peer out that open window across from his seat where the left waist gunner would have been. He was no longer crammed in one spot. When the plane landed and he exited, he simply said, “Wow!” Laursen flew on 18 dif-ferent B-17s on his 35 mis-sions, the last being on his 24th birthday, Dec. 23, 1944. He was a “spare” ball turret gunner without a main crew because five of them were killed in a plane crash near the Grafton-Un-derwood base when coming

back from a training exer-cise in foggy weather. Only one man survived. Drafted into the Air Force, Laursen wanted to be a pilot like most other guys but the 5-foot-5-inch, 110-pound man was a “per-fect candidate for a ball tur-ret gunner,” he said. “It was lonely down there by yourself and very cold,” Laursen said. “I couldn’t hardly move be-cause there was no room. Some people couldn’t stand it because they were claus-trophobic. Somebody had to do it, so I did it.” After the war, Laurs-en stayed in England for awhile to lease a farm and later moved back to Min-nesota. He bought his own dairy farm 51 years ago near Farmington, where he still lives to this day. He married in March 1943 be-fore going to Europe, and Laursen and his wife had three children.

History takes fl ight Aluminum Overcast never flew in World War II. It was delivered to the U.S. Army Air Corps May 18, 1945, less than two weeks after Germany surren-dered. Japan would surren-der three months later. But it has long served a purpose of giving multiple generations a chance to touch and walk through a historical artifact so those who did not fly in a B-17 in World War II can gain a better understanding of

what these veterans went through. It is painted in the colors of the 398th Bom-bardment Group, which flew hundreds of missions over Nazi-held territory during the war. Veterans of this group helped finance the bomber’s restoration. Owned by the EAA and based in Oshkosh, Wiscon-sin, it is one of 10 World War II era B-17G Flying Fortresses that remain air-worthy and that are based in the United States. It takes part in the Experience His-tory tour that reaches ap-proximately 40 U.S. cities each year. The Blaine chap-ter of the EAA hosted Alu-minum Overcast July 28 and June 16 so paying customers could take flights, which all helps pay the upkeep. For the entire year, an av-erage of 10 hours of main-tenance are needed for ev-ery hour of flight, although replacing parts, cleaning and repainting mostly hap-pens in the winter when the plane is not being flown. It needs to be inspected for every 120 hours of flight, according to John Hopkins, head of maintenance for the EAA’s B-17 program. “It’s a constant up-keep on the airplane,” he said. After World War II, the military sold “Alumi-num Overcast” in 1946 for $750 when it was looking to unload surplus aircraft. Between 1946 and 1978, it served as a cargo hauler, an aerial mapping platform and in pest control and for-

est dusting applications. The EAA spent thou-sands of hours and sev-eral million dollars since “Aluminum Overcast” was donated to it in 1983 by a group of investors called B-17s Around the World, which had purchased the plane in 1978 to return it to its historical military roots. It took about 10 years to restore this aircraft back to the way it looked in 1945. Parts came from all over, but the biggest haul was when the EAA negotiated a deal about 15 years ago for parts from a dealer in Red Deer, Canada, located about halfway between Cal-gary and Edmonton. Hop-kins said the dealer was hes-itant to sell, but eventually agreed when the EAA gave him a helicopter.

The cockpit is the only area of the plane where there is technology that did not exist in World War II, but the Federal Aviation Administration it requires for safety. Old radios have too wide of a frequency range, so there would be danger of interference from other radio calls. Newer radios have a narrower fre-quency band, according to Hopkins. There is an on-board data link for weather updates. There is a colli-sion avoidance system that warns not only of other planes, but tall hills or wind turbines, for example. Ken and Lorraine Mor-ris flew Aluminum Over-cast on July 28 at the Anoka County airport. Both are li-censed to fly large aircraft. Ken is a retired airline pilot

and Lorraine currently flies a Boeing 777 for United Airlines, which she said is “the modern version of the B-17.” Handling the B-17 in the air is similar to a mod-ern large aircraft. The main differences are becoming familiar with the instru-mentation and growing ac-customed to having a tail wheel when taking off and landing, which is something modern large aircraft do not have. “It’s like trying to push a grocery cart backwards,” Ken said. Lorraine never thought she would be able to go into a World War II era B-17 let alone fly one. “It’s an amazing honor,” she said. Hearing the stories is what keeps them interested. They have met World War II veterans, which is becoming harder to do because, in the seven decades since the war ended, so many have died. They have spoken with de-scendents of someone who died on a B-17 during the war. Lorraine said families have brought U.S. flags that were draped over a coffin of their loved one. They come to learn a little more about what it was like for these young boys many decades ago when the world was a much different place. “Just to listen to them tell their stories is really heartwarming. It brings tears to your eyes,” Ken said. “That’s why we do it.”

Garofalo receives award


Toddler’s cancer battle prompts blood drive

Rosemount girl is a Stage 4 neuroblastoma survivor

An American Red Cross blood drive will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8, in honor of Lilah Kelley, a 3-year-old Rosemount girl who was diagnosed with Stage 4 high risk neuro-blastoma, a rare cancer of the sympathic nervous sys-tem that is usually found in young children. Lilah’s family and friends said they want to help raise awareness for Lilah and others battling childhood cancers through the blood drive, according to a Red Cross release. Around her first birth-day Lilah’s parents no-ticed that her breathing was “noisy.” They were reassured by her doctor’s that there was nothing to worry about. However, it became progressively worse and they knew something wasn’t right. Eventually they received a referral to a pediatric otolaryngologist who per-formed a bronchoscopy. “We were hoping that the doctor would come back and say he had found something simple like a foreign body and just quickly remove it so we could go back to our lives,”

Janelle and Ben Kelley are the parents of Lilah – a 3-year-old Rosemount girl who is battling neuroblastoma, a rare nervous system cancer. (Photos submitted)

said Jenelle Kelley, Lilah’s mother, an Eagan High School graduate. “But when he returned he said that Lilah’s airway was severely compressed and sent her down for a CT scan immediately. What they found is something we never could have imag-ined – a large mass taking up the majority of her left chest and compressing her airway.” Lilah was intubated and transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit where she remained intubated for 10 days. Ex-tensive work up revealed Lilah had Stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma with metastasis to her spinal column, chest cavity, skull and bone marrow. She immediately began aggressive treatment start-ing with chemotherapy. Because of the com-plexity of her tumor, Lilah and her family traveled to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for her surgery and her radiation treatments. The remainder of her treatment included a bone marrow stem cell trans-plant and antibody ther-apy. During her 80 plus days in the hospital, treat-ments and surgery, Lilah required 16 blood and platelet transfusions. “So many people helped us when we were going

through Lilah’s treatment, including the volunteer blood donors who ensured that the blood she needed was available,” Jenelle said. “We want to pay it forward and help other families who are going through something simi-lar so they have more time with their loved ones, too.” Lilah is in stable condi-tion today. Her breathing is normal, and she does not appear to have any long-term side effects. She has a couple small spots of scar tissue on her lung and will need to have scans every three months to check to see if there is any growth. “Lilah is a very resilient and active 3-year-old,” Jenelle said. “This blood drive in her honor is just one way to thank the do-nor that gave the gift of life to her and to help build awareness of the need for blood for others battling childhood cancers. It’s the blood on the shelves that help saves lives. You never know when you or your family is going to be the one in need. I encourage all eligible donors to roll up a sleeve and give blood and get a glass of lemon-ade to help support child-hood cancer research.” The blood drive in honor of Lilah comes at

an important time for the Red Cross. The Red Cross is facing a looming short-age of the blood types most needed by patients and is calling on eligible donors with O negative, B negative blood to give now to prevent an emergency situation. The Red Cross also needs platelet donors and those with type AB blood to help ensure the shelves are stocked for patients in need. All blood types are needed to ensure a reli-able supply for patients. A blood donor card or driv-er’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Indi-viduals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other do-nors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight

requirements. To sign up online, go to www.redcrossblood.org/2015-summer. In the blue box on the right titled “Give blood. Find a blood drive” enter the sponsor code: Rose-mount. At the blood drive there will also the family’s an-nual Lemonade Stand to support pediatric cancer research. Donations raised will go to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Pe-diatric cancer receives 4

percent of federal funding for research and treatment development. This leaves it up to families and com-munities to raise money for better treatments and a cure. The relapse rate for Lilah’s cancer is 40 per-cent, the family said. . Those who can’t at-tend the Lemonade Stand, can donate online at www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/1165442#. More about Lilah is at www.caringbridge.org/visit/lilahjeankelley.

SportsFootball Week 2: Panthers, Blaze win convincingly

Showdown between

unbeatens set up for Friday

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


Three teams in East Metro White district foot-ball remained undefeated after last Friday’s games, but that number will de-crease by at least one by the end of this week. Lakeville North and Burnsville, two of the league’s 2-0 teams, will play at 7 p.m. Friday at Burnsville High School, with the winner taking an important step toward contending for the White district championship. Rosemount, the league’s other 2-0 team, plays at Eastview at 7 p.m. Thurs-day. Burnsville rushed for 230 yards in defeating er-ror-prone Lakeville South 24-6 last Friday. Lakev-ille North, ranked third in Class 6A, went on the road and routed Eagan 41-17. Rosemount was a convincing 20-7 winner over Apple Valley. Farm-ington’s offense exploded for more than 500 yards in a 56-27 victory over East-view. It was the Tigers’ first victory in almost two years and broke a 15-game losing streak.

Burnsville 24,

Lakeville South 6 Steph Olson Jr. is one of Burnsville’s two-way players, and he made big plays on offense and de-fense in the Blaze’s victory at Lakeville South. A line-backer on defense, Olson made a one-handed inter-ception that he returned 18 yards for a touchdown for Burnsville’s first touch-down early in the second quarter. Playing running

back on offense, he scored on a 5-yard run with 40 seconds remaining before halftime. Olson, a junior, had five tackles, one interception, 14 rushes for 77 yards, and two receptions for 12 yards. Still, it remained a one-score game (with Burns-ville leading 14-6) until late in the third quarter, when the Blaze’s Josue Gonzalez kicked a 46-yard field goal. Jackson Mar-tens scored on a 43-yard run with 9:43 remaining, putting the game out of Lakeville South’s reach. The Blaze rushed 45 times for 230 yards. Mar-tens had a team-high 84 yards on just seven carries. Michael Schiller had 43 yards on six carries. Burnsville safety Ka-mal Martin (eight tack-les) and linebacker Gerrit Olsen (seven tackles, one interception) were among the Blaze’s defensive lead-ers. Martens also had an interception. Lakeville South (0-2) had 264 yards of offense but hindered its own ef-forts with three intercep-tions and nine penalties for 88 yards. Cougars fullback Brett Fatturi scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter, completing a 15-play, 75-yard drive. Running back Clay Geary rushed for 112 yards on 15 carries and caught six passes for 70 yards. Anthony Vote had three catches for 35 yards. Blake Wacholz, Adam Lucast and Mason Kohl-beck each had six tackles for the Cougars. Next: Burnsville plays host to Lakeville North at 7 p.m. Friday. Lakev-ille South looks to turn around its season when it faces Eagan at home at 7 p.m. Thursday. After they play Eagan, the Cougars’

next two games are at Rosemount and Lakeville North.

LV North 41,

Eagan 17 It’s difficult to find any-thing that didn’t go well for Lakeville North last Friday. Well, the Panthers did miss one extra-point conversion. That’s about it. Quarterback Drew Stewart, who went into the season saying he need-ed to improve his accu-racy, completed 13 of 16 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. The running game ground out 164 yards, including 100 from junior tailback Wade Sullivan. North’s defense didn’t allow a touchdown until the fourth quarter, by which time both teams had most of their starters off the field. In two games, Stewart has completed 20 of 25 passes for 301 yards. Last Friday he found Nick Fossey seven times for 96 yards and two touchdowns and David Lindstrand five times for 130 yards and one score. Sullivan (1 yard) and Preston Emerson (47 yards) had rushing touch-downs, and Evan Erickson returned an interception 28 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter, pushing North’s lead to 41-3. In the fourth quarter, Eagan’s Gus Kluender scored on a 10-yard run and Hunter Weis scored on a 2-yard carry. Klu-ender, who shares time at quarterback with Sam Schuberg, led the Wildcats in rushing with 78 yards on 10 carries. Kluender, who plays receiver when not at quarterback, also had five catches for 29 yards. Con-ner Tonsager had 53 yards on two catches.

Defensive backs Drew Bonjean (eight tackles) and Jacob Traefald (sev-en tackles) were among North’s defensive leaders. Linebacker Erik Mack had eight tackles for Ea-

gan. Next: Lakeville North is headed to Burnsville on Friday for a game be-tween two of the East Metro White’s undefeated teams. Eagan (1-1) travels

to Lakeville South to face a Cougars team seeking its first victory of 2015.

Notebook: cross country teamsready to hit the ground running

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK


Many high school cross country teams are starting their competitive seasons this week, and Rosemount and Eagan high schools will host meets Friday morning. The annual Irish Invitational at Rose-mount High School starts with youth races at 8:05 a.m. Girls and boys varsity meets will be at 10:50 and 11:15 a.m. All races for high school runners will be 2 miles. Edina, which is ranked first in the raceberryjam.com preseason Class AA rankings, is scheduled to compete in the boys varsity race, as are South Suburban Conference schools Farmington, Lakev-ille North and Rosemount. Minnetonka and Edina, the top two teams in the Class AA girls preseason rankings, also are scheduled for the Irish Invitational, as are eighth-ranked Lakev-ille North, 20th-ranked Rosemount, and Farmington. The Dakota Classic meet will be 10 a.m. Friday at Eagan High School. Apple Valley, Lakeville South and Eagan are in the field for the boys varsity race, with Apple Valley, Lakeville South, Eastview and Eagan among the teams competing in the girls meet. No. 6 Lakeville South is the top-ranked team in the girls meet.

Coaches on the move Danica Cutshall was named head coach of the Lakeville North girls la-crosse team, replacing Mo Gaitan, who left to become head coach of the wom-en’s team at Concordia University in St. Paul. Cutshall, a former Panthers varsity player, played at Regis University in Den-ver, Colorado. After college, she returned to Minnesota and worked on Gaitan’s staff at Lakeville North, most recently as junior varsity coach. Apple Valley is seeking replacements for boys tennis coach Bruce Gullickson and gymnastics coach Carla Blazek, both of whom resigned recently.

SSC wrestler a world champ Within the last six months, Apple Val-ley sophomore-to-be Gable Steveson has won state, national and world wrestling championships. His latest title came Sunday on the final day of the United World Wres-tling Cadet World Championships in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he placed first in freestyle at 100 kilo-grams (220 pounds). Steveson went 5-0

in the tournament and defeated Khasan-boy Rakhimov of Uzbekistan 9-0 in the championship match. In his earlier matches in the tourna-ment, Steveson won two by technical fall, one by decision and one by criteria after a 5-5 draw with Alimagomed Alikhmayev of Azerbaijan. Steveson was one of four Americans to win gold medals at the UWW Cadet Worlds. The U.S. placed third in the team standings behind Russia and Iran. In July he won the 220-pound free-style title at the USA Wrestling Cadet National Championships. Steveson was Class 3A champion at 220 in the Minne-sota state high school championships last winter. He is ranked as the No. 1 wrestler in the Class of 2018 by IntermatWrestle.com. Steveson’s Apple Valley teammate, in-coming senior Mark Hall, was a UWW Cadet World champion in 2014. Hall competed in the Junior World tourna-ment this summer in Salvador, Brazil, reaching the quarterfinals at 74 kilo-grams (163 pounds). Hall defeated wres-tlers from Japan and Azerbaijan before losing 4-2 to a wrestler from Hungary in the quarterfinals. Hall, who will go for an unprecedent-ed sixth Minnesota state high school individual championship next winter, is first in the FloWrestling.org high school “pound for pound” rankings. He’s also No. 10 at 163 pounds in the USA Wres-tling senior men’s freestyle rankings – which are populated mainly by college and post-college wrestlers.

Bandits stay alive The Eagan Bandits lost a game in the state Class B men’s amateur baseball tournament last weekend, but the im-portant part was the loss did not come in their first game. The Bandits defeated Shakopee 4-3 last Friday in Cold Spring in a single-elimination round-of-16 game. The eight first-round winners advanced to the dou-ble-elimination phase of the tournament. Eagan fell to Moorhead 7-5 on Saturday in St. Cloud and faces Coon Rapids in an elimination game at 5 p.m. Thursday in Watkins. The Class B tournament will conclude Monday in Cold Spring. Jordan Brandt pitched seven innings for Eagan in its victory over Shakopee, allowing four hits and two runs. Roy Lar-son pitched the final two innings. Eagan third baseman Mark Tatera was 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and one RBI. Larson was 2-for-4 and drove in two runs.

ECM Publishers awarded LLS National Media Award The Leukemia & Lym-phoma Society announced that ECM Publishers has been awarded LLS’s Na-tional Media Award. ECM Publishers, parent company of Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune, has consistently supported LLS since 1992 when its employees first participated in Dress for LLS, an annual fundraiser in which employees dress up in costumes or dress down in jeans and raise money for blood cancers. Along with Dress for LLS, Sun Newspapers also formed a Light The Night Walk team three times un-der the direction of inside sales executive Michelle Ahrens, fundraising thou-sands of dollars for the mission. Sun Newspapers has sponsored ads for Light The Night and Team In Training, campaigns hosted by LLS. It also highlights people in area communities who have partnered with the organi-zation in a variety of ways: Man & Woman of the Year candidates, team cap-tains, and top fundraisers, to name a few. The Lifeblood Awards, where ECM Publishers will accept its award, is the one night of the year set aside to honor and thank the participants and fundraisers, patients and volunteers who are truly the lifeblood of the LLS

mission, according to Teri Cannon, executive director of LLS, Minnesota Chap-ter. The Lifeblood Awards will take place Sept. 17, as September is Blood Can-cer Awareness Month. ECM Publishers has continually played a great role toward the success of LLS’s mission, striving for a world without blood cancers, according to Can-non.

thing, but they also have to show them re-spect and love. ... The coaches, we want them to understand, your purpose is to use athletics to make better kids; the sport is the opportunity to do it.” He said the MSHSL would like to see more transformative coaches who build people up rather than a transactional coaches who use players to fulfill their own ego. Tschida said he wants to hire trans-formational coaches in the future but he doesn’t feel the current situation at Farm-ington is that far off from the MSHSL’s goal. “We have people in our own district that act that way, that treat their ath-letes that way,” Tschida said. “I could go through a list of coaches who act that way. This just puts a face and a name to it.” He said other coaches are slowing adapting to this philosophy. “I think, over time, the people will see

the value in this,” Tschida said. David Thom, who is speaking 6-8 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Farmington High School Lecture Hall, agrees. “It goes from coaching to the kids to the parents,” Thom said. “Parents aren’t there every day. They don’t know what’s going on. Coaches are there every day. They know better than we do. Parents get caught up in the wins and losses and it drops down to the kids.” All school boards in Minnesota were obligated to watch the “Why We Play” video, which promoted putting less value on winning and more focus on the expe-rience and education to help prepare stu-dent-athletes for a successful life. It can be viewed at https://youtu.be/ukJS8H8JIVo. All of the School Board members were supportive of the initiative. Board Mem-ber Steve Corraro said he hopes the phi-losophy is active at the youth level as well.

and compete at a college level.” He said there are many benefits to playing a sport in college, particularly during freshman year when students are making friends and getting used to cam-pus life. It also forces students to balance their time. “It intensifies the whole need to bal-ance life about eight to 10 times, between going to class and getting that paper done,” Thom said. “But by the end, there is a huge difference in the maturity level of a senior, and that will pay off in life. You’ll find some of the better time management people are athletes. Whether they realized or not, they had to be.” He has experience. He played baseball in college and both of his sons play sports while at college at they University of St. Thomas and St. John’s University. “They didn’t expect to play sports, but the gave it a shot and ended up playing football and baseball,” Thom said. “It re-ally helped with those awkward first few months of college.” Mastering time management will help any student in all walks of life. “The same four prongs are going to be in your life, even if you don’t go to col-

lege,” Thom said. His message isn’t exactly new — many parents share it with their children. “Sometimes you need someone else to tell you that if you don’t set your pri-orities, you’re going to have a tough time,” Thom said. He’s given this pre-sentation before, but Farmington and its student-athletes have a special place in Thom’s heart. Thom is the founder of the Farming-ton Youth Athletic Association and has coached many youth teams, ranging from the very young to varsity-level athletics. He is also currently a Minnesota State High School League referee. Thom has a master’s degree in athletic administration from the University of St. Thomas, where balancing education and athletics in middle and high school became his research project. He also has an Master of Business Administration from Globe University and is currently a corporate financial aid manager, assisting parents and students in financing their college education.

A response to the 2011 Norway attacks, the pro-duction delves into faith, politics and reason, and features music sung by a different community choir at each performance. “The Events” explores the desire to fathom the unfathom-able and asks how far for-giveness will stretch in the face of atrocity. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. performance on Oct. 16 may be purchased on-line at https://www.guth-rietheater.org or by phone at 612-377-2224.

Three Dakota County boys were captured demonstrating their “para-cycle” in this photo from the June 29, 1981, edition of Thisweek News. The boys — Eric Ross, 13, Dan Mossberg, 12, and Jim Ross, 11 — used the top of a tent as a wind-catcher in an experiment to power a bicycle on a quiet residential street. An editor noted in the text accompanying the photo, “Although the para-cycle may not be too practical, it demonstrates the ingenuity of three energy-conscious boys.”

From the secret files of Craig MacIntoshSuspense novelist featured at Sept. 15 author event

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK


“Wolf’s Vendetta” isn’t the book Craig Macintosh initially set out to write. The Rosemount author had planned a straightfor-ward follow-up to “Mc-Fadden’s War,” his sus-pense and adventure novel released last year that cen-ters on two Special Forces agents. But MacIntosh’s real-life conversa-tions with a retired Navy SEAL captain, and the details about global crimi-nal conspiracies gleaned from those talks, inspired the plot for his new book. “I had an en-tirely different sto-ry in mind — one that will be pub-lished next year,” said MacIntosh. “My aim was to write a brief sentence rein-troducing my main characters to past readers, and hopefully, attracting new ones unfamil-iar with my books.” One sen-tence grew into a para-graph, then a full page. “Before I finished the character’s up-date I had the beginnings of a complete-ly different story,” he said. “I shelved my first idea and began writing ‘Wolf ’s Ven-detta.’ ” The retired Navy SEAL who provid-ed much of MacIntosh’s source material — introduced to the novelist by a neigh-bor — also provided other contacts con-nected to military Special Forces units. Soon MacIntosh found himself with a treasure trove of data on Russian orga-

nized crime and Washing-ton insider politics. “He’s high enough in the food chain that he has all of these contacts,” Ma-cIntosh said. “Wolf ’s Vendetta” fol-lows former Navy SEAL Tom Wolf and retired Green Beret Sam McFadden in a plot that incorporates a Soyuz space launch in Ka-zakhstan, the Russian mafia and the interconnected con-spiracies of trans-national organized crime.

MacIntosh, who’s set to speak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15, as part of the “Meet the Author” series organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council, said “Wolf ’s Vendetta” will appeal to

military buffs, mystery fans, and es-pionage and a d v e n t u r e readers. A n Army veteran who served in Vietnam, Ma-cIntosh recent-ly retired from a career as a newspaper car-toonist. From 1992 to 2013 he worked full-time as illustrator of the syndicated comic strip “Sal-ly Forth.” He made his book-length de-but in 2009 with “The Fortunate Orphans,” which was followed in 2012 by “The Last Lightning.” Both

novels are mystery-adventure tales that use incidents from World War II as their starting points. Admission to the Sept. 15 author event is free. More about “Wolf ’s Ven-detta” and MacIntosh’s other books is at www.cjmacintosh.com.

A game-used bat of Joe Mauer’s and an autographed bat by former Minnesota Twin Michael Cuddyer were also featured. This was the Twins sixth annual breakfast fundraiser for Cheerful Givers.
