Raising children without a home Homelessness among families triples in past four years - Third in a series by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
LaTeasa spent years building a comfortable life for herself and her children only to lose everything: her job, her home, her sense of stability. Following the birth of her second child in 2012, LaTeasa (who asked that her last name not be used) was laid off from her job of 12 years as a telecommunications repair specialist and found herself unable to work due to complications from her pregnancy. The 38-year-old single mother kept the family afloat for several months by turning to personal savings and her retirement account as well as child support. With her savings soon exhausted, LaTeasa found herself unable to afford the rent on her Woodbury home. With nowhere to go, she and her two

Homelessness in Dakota County children were homeless. “I had to face the fact that we couldn’t live in Woodbury anymore,” she said. “I don’t know if I could prepare myself for that.” LaTeasa ended up sleeping in her truck with her infant son, while her 18-yearold son stayed with a relative. The family turned to area homeless shelters, but they were full and the family was placed on a waiting list. On her own since she was 17 years old, LaTeasa had never faced homelessness and was devastated. “I felt like a failure,” she

Eight-year-old Faith Kearns of Rosemount traveled to Orlando, Fla., to live out her wish of meeting the Disney princesses. Make-A-Wish Foundation sent Faith and her family to Disney World for a week this past February. Faith wore a pink gown donated by Miracles of Mitch Foundation to meet her favorite princess Rapunzel. Faith was diagnosed with leukemia last summer. (Photo submitted)
Eight-year-old Faith Kearns’ wish to meet the Disney princesses was granted with a trip to Walt Disney World this past February. Make-A-Wish sent Faith, her parents, and her three older siblings to Florida for a week of much-needed fun. The Rosemount thirdgrader is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for leukemia, though this isn’t her first health concern.
Faith’s health problems outdate her leukemia diagnosis. Eight years ago, she was born at a premature 25 weeks and weighed only 1 pound, 10 ounces. Spending her first four months in a hospital, Faith underwent a heart surgery to close an open vessel. She needed oxygen for her weak lungs and was later diagnosed with severe hearing loss. After nine ear surgeries, Faith is no longer deaf and can hear with the help of cochlear implants. Last summer, Kearns
noticed her daughter acting out of character. Zapped of energy, the then 7-year-old watched her friends play rather than joining in. She was often tired and falling asleep, so Kearns took her to the family physician. “Seven-year olds like to play. I just knew something was wrong,” said her mother Kelli Kearns. “I was thinking: ‘Could this be leukemia?’ ” Kearns was right. “It was a blow to the See WISH, 13A

forts will help change the lives of others. The Rosemount resident volunteered to plow two acres that the St. Paul Center for Social Healing plans to turn into a healing garden. “It’s people helping people and I’m happy to have been a part of it,� Rohrenbach said. Rohrenbach’s involvement in the project came after the Center for Social Healing’s garden at Marine on St. Croix was not large enough to accommodate the needs of its clients. When the center’s Cambodian clients expressed an interest in planting a garden at the temple in Hampton, the organization reached out to the temple, which donated two acres. The center’s clinical manager Khu Thao contacted the Minnesota Farmers Union to see if it could help. Rohrenbach, the union’s president, volunteered to take on the project. He spent a few days plowing and disking the land to prepare it for gardening. “It was a nice piece of ground, mostly sod,� Rohrenbach said. “I thor-
oughly enjoyed the work.� The ultimate vision of the center’s healing garden is to provide a meaningful place for clients to support mental and physical health, Thao said. Some clients will plant crops and flowers, while others will simply enjoy the natural surroundings. “The healing garden will be a place to do what you need to do to heal, whether that’s planting, weeding, or just being out in nature close to the dirt,� Thao said. “It will be an environment to feel connected to the earth and to yourself.� The center looks forward to planting and harvesting in the new garden for years to come, thanks to Rohrenbach’s volunteered labor. “He has been a wonderful help for us,� Thao said. For Rohrenbach, plowing the garden was an opportunity to help others. “There was a Minnesota author, Ernie Larsen, who said: ‘The measure of this life is not how high up the mountain you get, it’s how many we bring with us.’ That’s the spirit of volunteering.� The Center for Social Healing is an organization of the Southeast Asian
Program, both of which are based out of St. Paul’s Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. The organization provides culturally meaningful activities for clients to connect with the community and improve wellbeing. “We want to create a welcoming environment where clients feel wanted, needed, and expected,� Thao said. The center sponsors activities for 300-500 clients each year at no cost to participants. Clients visit state parks, exercise at the YMCA, learn about eating right and promote healthy lifestyles. The organization also provides support groups for depression and socialization. “We’re a place where people can come be themselves, understand each other’s struggles, share a similar history, be who they are and find support,� Thao said.

Public Safety National Night Out marks 30 years in Farmington by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The city of Farmington will be celebrating 30 years of participating in the National Night Out, an annual get-to-know-your neighbors celebration sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch on Tuesday evening. The police and fire departments usually attend between 25 and 30 parties from about 6-9 p.m. every
year in Farmington. National Night Out is a good chance to get to know neighbors and perhaps build a safer community, according to Farmington police Chief Brian Lindquist. “When I grew up in rural Minnesota, I knew all my neighbors,” Lindquist said. “Today we’re high speed, low drag. We live on our smartphones and computers. We get up, go to work, take kids to a
myriad of activities, come home, watch some TV, and go to bed. “If I’m dumb enough to say on Facebook I’m going on vacation and someone pulls up in a white van and cleans out my house, my neighbor might think I’m getting new carpet installed. I’ve done a great injustice to myself by not knowing my neighbors. “If you get to know your neighbors, they’re going to watch out for you,
Woman gets three years prison for role in robbery
and you will watch out for them.” The benefit of having the police attend gives the community and the department a chance to talk. “Parents will ask questions that they might think are wasting our time or foolish, and say: ‘I didn’t want to bother you,’ ” Lindquist said. “A lot of time I say: ‘You probably should have bothered us.’ People should understand they can call us for
anything and they’re not wasting our time. We’re a response agency. We can’t be everywhere.” There are also a number of National Night Out events that happen during the weekend. “Many times neighbors can’t get together on that night so they find another time that works,” Lindquist said. To request a police officer or firefighter visit www. ci.farmington.mn.us, or
call 651-280-6700. The Police Department also has information available on how to start a block party including door hangers and fliers for block party recruitment. More information can also be found at www. natw.org. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

A South St. Paul man was charged with three felonies and one misdemeanor after allegedly stealing a 2012 blue Suzuki motorcycle and leading police departments in Eagan, Rosemount and Apple Valley on a chase June 22 before being apprehended in Hampton by the Dakota County Sheriff’s Department. According to two Dakota County criminal complaints, Christopher Alan Siemers, 30, was charged with first-degree criminal damage to property, two counts of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle, and receiving stolen property over $5,000, all felonies, along with a misdemeanor driving after suspension. Via Pilot Knob Road, Diamond Path, 145th Street, Dodd Boulevard, Shannon Parkway and County Road 42, officers from Apple Valley, Eagan and Rosemount chased the suspect, who was traveling in excess of 100 mph while ignoring stop signs, no passing zones and traffic lights beginning at 10 a.m. The suspect eventually turned onto a dead end cul-de-sac at Camfield Circle.
The suspect jumped the curb and drove throughout the park into a field through to 147th, where officers lost sight of the suspect and discontinued pursuit. Approximately two hours later, the Dakota County Sheriff’s Department apprehended Siemers. A Dakota County deputy and a sergeant responding to a 911 burglary call in Hampton observed Siemers standing next to a motorcycle that was reported stolen and matching the description and ordered him to the ground at gunpoint. Ignoring the request Siemers attempted to drive away. while the deputy attempted to push him off the motorcycle, almost tipping over, but he instead ran into a parked vehicle. Siemers eventually broke away, so the deputy tased Siemers, who hit another parked vehicle, and was placed under arrest. Siemers faces a possible maximum sentence of about 15 years and $33,000 in fines. – Andy Rogers

Opinion 360 Communities working to promote Parent Aware by Mischelle Ulrich SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The first five years of life are crucial in the healthy cognitive development of a child. Many children spend a good portion of those first years in a child care setting, so it is important to help parents and providers develop strong child care programs to ensure children arrive at kindergarten prepared and ready to learn. 360 Communities Child Care Aware, a member of the Child Care Aware of Minnesota network, partners with child care providers, family, friend and neighbor caregivers and community organizations to promote the quality of child care in Dakota County. Our belief is that the entire community benefits when families are able to access high quality child care. There are currently 871 licensed child care providers in Dakota County. This can make choosing a child care provider a daunting task for any parent and this decision can have lasting impacts on a child’s development. A 2010 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development study found that the quality of child care in the first several years of life has a noticeable impact on a child’s cognitive development and academic achievement as far out as a decade later. The study, which followed
Guest Columnist
Mischelle Ulrich over 1,300 children for more than 10 years, found that negative effects of poor child care endured through age 15. Quality child care provides the educational foundation children need to be ready for school. To make it easier for parents to choose quality care and for providers to differentiate themselves to the public, Child Care Aware of Minnesota is rolling out a new tool to help empower parents across Minnesota to make good child care choices for their children. Parent Aware is a new four-star rating system that aims to provide parents with an objective tool to judge the quality of day care settings while, at the same time, enhancing the quality of child care in Minnesota. When parents see the Parent Aware rating for a provider, they can be assured that the program has volunteered to have their program assessed using a number of proven quality indicators. Each star rating represents a level of training and best practices implementation achieved by a child care
provider. If a provider has a one star rating, it does not mean they are a poor child care provider. Rather, it means they have begun the rating process and have demonstrated a commitment to quality child care. If a provider has a Parent Aware rating, it is a sign that they are ahead of the curve and are taking steps to ensure they are implementing the best practices to prepare young people for kindergarten. For each star level, quality is measured in four areas: • Physical health and well-being • Teaching and relationships • Assessment of child progress • Teacher training and education All participating programs have: • Volunteered for extra, in-depth training • Devoted themselves to strong, caring relationships with each child • Adopted the latest approaches to keeping children’s learning on track • Committed to daily activities and routines that help children learn and grow • Placed a focus on children’s health and safety Jackie Yernberg, early childhood director of Lighthouse Explorers Christian Child Care in Rosemount, says the process of obtaining a Parent Aware rating is hard work and a lengthy process, but it is worth it because parents, child care providers, and
most importantly, children benefit. “Without a shadow of a doubt, this process demonstrates quality early childhood programming,” Yernberg said. “Quality is measurable. It can be measured by positive staff-child interactions, the growth of children through developmental milestones, the pride the child-parent-teacher share when effort, achievements and affirmation are working hand-in-hand.” Dakota County providers who are interested are encouraged to call me for more information at 952-985-4045. New groups of providers start every July and January. Watch for more information about Parent Aware in the coming months. Parents, if you currently have a child care provider, consider talking to them about Parent Aware if they are not yet rated. Everyone can learn more about Parent Aware at www.parentawareratings.org or by calling 888-291-9811. Mischelle Ulrich is supervisor of 360 Communities Child Care Aware, a member of Child Care Aware of Minnesota. 360 Communities provides support to people by engaging communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency.

Clausen helps move the state forward To the editor: With the 2013 legislative session in the rearview mirror, a few observations. I think the session demonstrated how to do the work of governing – the job legislators are elected to do. It made positive strides for our state to improve the economic outlook, invest in education and address our budget issues and our newly elected senator helped make those things happen. Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, worked for his constituents and with members of the Republican caucus and compiled a list of noteworthy accomplishments for a first-term senator. With his education background, he authored the bill funding all-day kindergarten. As vicechairman of the Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee, he helped freeze tuition in our state college and university systems and increase financial aid for college students. These investments in our children, and our future, will pay dividends down the road. The Minneapolis/ St. Paul metropolitan area and surrounding counties comprise the 44th largest economy in the world, due in part to our educated workforce. This is an investment we must make. Clausen supported economic development projects in Rochester, a 3M research complex, expansion of the Mall of America, Emerson Process Management and Baxter Pharmaceuticals, in addition to tax-increment financing
(TIF) for two projects in Apple Valley. Again, investments in the future for the state and for the quality of life for Minnesotans. It is easy to complain about things that didn’t get done, about raising taxes, about paying back (or not paying back) the school shift from the previous session, and more. But we seldom acknowledge the things that did get done. I thank Clausen for the hard work he did on our behalf. We don’t move forward by standing still, and Clausen didn’t get elected to stand still or stand in the way. We all know there is more to do, and with Clausen working for us, we have made a start in making Minnesota a state that works again.
need to be made to preserve the natural systems in this park for future generations to enjoy.” A mid-90s DNR Natural Resources Survey reported: “Management and development of (Lebanon Hills) should take these rare features into account … should be valued as examples of pre-development natural resource communities for the enjoyment of park visitors … not viewed as empty spaces to construct more facilities. Limited park lands cannot accommodate all uses requested by the public. … Lebanon Hills is a significant natural resource … because it is the last remaining large habitat of this type in northern Dakota County … elevated in importance each time development takes place in the surrounding area. … Development in Lebanon Hills should be part of an integrated, comprehensive plan with other parks … preserving the natural communities not available at other sites.” The County’s 2008 Park Plan includes developing new trails through most county and regional parks. This greenway corridor will include 200 miles of bike trails. Up to five of the trails are proposed to connect in Lebanon Hills. To preserve Lebanon Hills, the greenway could use existing trails around the park and not bulldoze through this valuable natural resource. A trail hub … perhaps the new Whitetail Woods in central Dakota County. County residents value the parks natural resources for recreation and education … we have for decades. That is a fact.

Take a look at any products that are antibacterial. If triclosan is an ingredient, discontinue using, and dispose of it. Triclosan is surprisingly not only in hand sanitizers but shampoos and lotions and dishwashing liquids to name just a few items. Triclosan has been found to be a major contributor to the silt problem in our waters. Please check labels on soaps and all personal care products and avoid these if they contain triclosan. This is an action I can do today, to promote the quality and health of our waters, for tomorrow. DEBORAH NELSON Apple Valley
Farm Bill needs revision To the editor: I was upset to learn that the U.S. House’s version of the Farm Bill contains a section created by Iowa Rep. Steve King that would nullify state laws protecting food safety, the environment, and animal welfare. As an example, numerous states have passed laws protecting mother dogs trapped inside puppy mills, yet these laws would be repealed by this Farm Bill. Fortunately, the Senate doesn’t have this dangerous provision in its version of the Farm Bill. It is my hope that Rep. Collin Peterson, R-Minnesota, who is expected to be in the bill’s conference committee, will work to ensure that the Steve King language doesn’t make it into the final Farm Bill when the two branches of Congress combine their wording. That would help rectify a scary situation our representative is partially responsible for.
To the editor: I recently attended the presentation “State of the River” at Hayes Community Center in Apple Valley. This excellent presentation was put on by Friends of the Mississippi, the National Park Service and the Vermillion River Watershed. It was a fast paced presentation with facts and information on the Mississippi, Minnesota and Vermillion rivers. The study determined that these rivers and waterways have been compromised and are not healthy. One of the major problems to be singled out; the build up of silt in the Minnesota River and Mississippi. The silt problem in turn affects Lake Pepin. A surprising and sobering piece of information put forward, was that in 300 years Lake Pepin may dry up due to FREEMAN the buildup of silt. I learned there are WICKLUND things that I can do, and Lakeville the general public can do.

Schroeder encourages parents to prepare children for fire emergencies by practicing fire drills, planning fire escapes and designating a meeting place outside. He also suggests keeping a close watch on a residence during thunderstorms, especially if the storm sounds very close. Families looking to learn more about fire safety can visit the Rosemount Fire Department’s Open House in October during Fire Prevention Week, which will feature a smoke house simulation where participants can practice fire drills.

Lambrecht believes that had Caroline not been home that day the entire house would have burned down. After the fire was put out, the fire department used heat sensors on the roof to check for other fires, though none were found. Later that day another fire broke out in the kitchen. Lambrecht was home at the time and called the fire department. The second fire may have been caused by a small smoldering spot in the wall left over from the lightning strike but was unusual in taking so long to ignite, Schroeder said.

Because of what she learned at camp Caroline made the right choices in the emergency situation and made the fire much easier to control, Rosemount fire Chief Rick Schroeder said. The Apple Valley and Rosemount fire departments arrived at the home and quickly put out the fire, which they suspect was started by a lightning strike. The lightning’s point of entrance was not found, so it is believed that the lightning bolt struck the ground and its current entered the home, causing the fire near the basement laundry room. Officers also found the gas meter to be blowing gas into the residence. It was turned off by Rosemount police Sgt. John Sommers and Officer Chad Rosa upon arrival. The incident is still under investigation. The fire melted through

When lightning struck a Rosemount residence on the morning of July 9, sixth-grader Caroline Lambrecht used her fire safety knowledge to escape the burning home. She had learned how to react in the emergency situation at Rosemount Parks and Recreation’s Safety Camp weeks before the incident. “It sounded like bombs going off,� Caroline said of the three loud noises heard on the stormy morning. The television sparked and the power went out, leaving the home pitch black. Caroline was home alone and heard one more loud bang before “freaking out� and calling her mother at work. “She was hysterical,� her mother Susan Lambrecht said. “I could barely understand her, but I heard her say ‘bombs going off, come home.’ � Lambrecht suspected it was just the storm passing through and left work. Minutes later Caroline noticed smoke coming up from the basement. She called her mother again, who told her to leave the house immediately. Lambrecht then called 911. “My heart stopped. I was numb and completely single-minded about getting home,� she said. Remembering what she learned at Safety Camp, Caroline grabbed her cat and dog and ran to a neighbor’s house. “At first I wanted to go around and grab some things from the house, but then I remembered what they told us at camp about living bodies,� Caroline said. “Just take the visible living bodies and get out.� Caroline attended Rosemount Parks and Recreation’s Safety Camp in June.

4-H livestock shows Love and Theft schedule shakes up for fair performing at the fair New small-animal shows, 4-H Olympics and rabbit tent First major music act at the grandstand in fair history by Andy Rogers

Love and Theft’s appearance on Thursday night at the Dakota County Fair is the first of its kind. There have been many local musicians through the years that have performed in the beer garden, but there’s never been a major musical act at the grandstand during the Dakota County Fair. “The fair board just decided we’ve had the demo derby and the tractor pull,” Dakota County Fair office manager Christine Smith said. “We wanted to see how a concert would go over and try something new. You listen to the people when they’re here and they’re asking for a big live band, so the interest is out there.” Love and Theft is a country music duo from Nashville with Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson, both sing lead vocals and play guitar. They are expected to play songs off their debut album “World Wide Open” featuring the hit song “Angel Eyes,” which was released on airways in 2011, along with its self-titled album that was released about a year ago. Other hits include “Runaway,” “Dancing Circles,” “Running Out of Air” and “If You Ever Get Lonely.” “We’re pretty excited about this,” fair director Chris Wright said. “We’re hoping for great weather and great turnout. It seems like there’s been a good response.” Love and Theft was recently one of the opening acts for Tim McGraw’s
“Two Lanes to Freedom” tour during May and June. Solo country artist Craig Campbell is scheduled open for Love and Theft. His newest album “Never Regret” along with lead single “Outta My Head” was released in May. His singles “Family Man” and “Fish” were in regular rotation on country stations in 2011. General admission tickets are $25 and infield standing room tickets are $30. The fair will still feature bands in the beer tent, including Thursday, Aug. 8, when Love and Theft is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. The Johnny Holm Band will start at 8:45 p.m. Thursday in the beer tent. The Last Ride is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. Friday and Lost Highway starts at 9 p.m. Saturday in the beer tent.
The entire schedule for the 4-H livestock shows at the Dakota County Fair has gone through a major revision this year. The number of shows have decreased and there’s no overlapping. Judging still begins at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and goes throughout the day, and there are a few more shows during the evening hours. “With our numbers dropping, there’s less and less agriculture. It didn’t make sense to have the small shows and overlapping show,” 4-H livestock director Anja Johnson said. “And it was hard for kids to participate in both. It was just a really good time

There were several challenges with loading and unloading animals during overlapping shows. The schedule can be found at www.dakotacountyfair.org. There’s also several new events this year including categories for smaller animals, 4-H Livestock tent and a 4-H Olympics. Along with the Dorothy Neil Memorial Showman Contest for large animals there’s now 4-H Small Animal Supreme Showmanship

Rosemount students find Lost Medallion by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Leprechaun’s Lost Medallion was found at about 1 p.m. Thursday, July 25, in Meadows Park on the fourth day of the annual hunt. Sixteen-year-olds Luke Dahl, Jack Kessler and Jake Bauer found the medallion in a mowed section of clover just off the walking path in Meadows Park between the city of Rosemount water tower and a white pillar. When Dahl found the medallion he said he didn’t say anything and just showed it to his pals who went crazy. “We ended up walking down by the path and everyone kind of came around us and we took pictures with the medallion,” Dahl said. The boys won the $500 prize offered by Sterling
State Bank for finding the medallion. This is the third year in a row that the bank has offered the prize money. The three Rosemount High School students, who will be juniors this fall, have been friends since they were little. Bauer said he has participated in the Leprechaun Days medallion hunt on and off for about the past few years. Bauer said the three looked in a bunch of parks on the first two days of the hunt and went to Meadows Park on the third day. On the fourth day, they went to Meadows and Central parks, based on a clue about sirens (the fire department is near Meadows and the police department is near Central) in the morning and decided to take a break for lunch before heading out again. Among the clues they said helped were the “fa-

When they returned to Meadows Park in the afternoon, Bauer said it didn’t take more that five minutes for them to find the medallion. They went to the area “between two towers” – the city of Rosemount water
tower and a white pillar at the center of the trail loop. Bauer said another clue was “not overlooking a four-leaf clover.” The medallion was among a mowed section of a clover patch alongside the path, not in the tall grass. More information about the hunt is at SunThisweek. com.

Fire destroys garage in Farmington by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A garage fire on the 5500 block of Lower 182nd Street West in Farmington caused more than $200,000 worth of damage on Sunday night and Monday morning. The Farmington Fire Department responded to a 911 call by the neighbors and arrived around 11:50 p.m. when they found the garage was burning along with two vehicles in the driveway. During the fight,
the fire spread to the attic, but the firefighters were able to put it out limiting damages to the interior. There were no reported injuries. About 35 firefighters were on site for nearly five hours. The fires probably did about $100,000 damage to the garage and exterior of the house with about $50,000 worth of damage to the interior and $60,000 in loss with the vehicles, according to Farmington fire marshal John Powers. The department was
still waiting for test results to rule out electrical as the cause for the fire. Initial indications conclude that the fire started in the area where garbage and recycling were being stored in the exterior of the building. “Something certainly could have started in the garbage can,” Powers said. “There were some painting materials that were thrown away. We’ve had several fires in the past 10 years with the use of oily rags. Anytime something
with linseed oil and cotton fibers mix, anything with organic matter really, can heat up. Potting soil can do the same thing if it’s kept out in the sun.” When painting or staining with any kind of solvent, Powers recommended leaving the rags out to dry or exclude them from oxygen by putting them in a metal container.

HOMELESS, from 1A ilies in Dakota County has more than tripled in the past four years from 116 in 2009 to 434 in 2013, according to the county’s January pointin-time survey. Children make up nearly half (48.9 percent) of the county’s homeless, which is also on the rise. Homelessness among those under age 18 in Dakota County has doubled from 246 in 2009 to 491 in 2013. Dakota County is outpacing the state, which saw homelessness among families rise 4 percent between 2009 and 2012 to 3,546. Homelessness among two-parent families, however, jumped 22 percent, according a 2012 study by the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. The study is the most recent statewide data on homelessness. Children make up one-third of the 10,214 homeless people in Minnesota.
Finding shelter LaTeasa’s struggle took a heavy toll on her teenage son who began to emotionally distance himself from her, she said. “He was disappointed in me,” she said. “I couldn’t do anything but
assure him it would be temporary – that I would rebuild and get back on my feet.” Despite the family’s strife, LaTeasa’s son graduated in June from high school and is considering attending college. “That was one of the happiest moments to watch him walk across the stage,” she said. Later that month, the family moved into Dakota Woodlands, a homeless shelter in Eagan for women and children. The shelter’s 22 bedrooms have been consistently full over the past two years, said Beth Bromen, executive director of Dakota Woodlands. As area shelters fill up, many families are turning to their vehicles, Laundromats and city buses for shelter, said Barb Nicolazzi, the shelter’s program manager. “We used to think of it as being an inner city thing,” Nicolazzi said. Growing numbers of people are turning to those places before going to a shelter, she said. When Dakota Woodlands opened 30 years ago, it provided housing and support for young unwed mothers. But as societal views and area needs changed, the shelter turned its focus to

Though families are provided with a private room filled with multiple beds, they must share bathrooms and living space with other residents. A small computer room is available for residents to search for jobs or do school work, and a “shop” full of donated items provides a place for residents to purchase inexpensive necessities. Residents also work together to prepare meals for the entire shelter and share chores.

Parents can bring their children to the fenced backyard to play on donated playground equipment. Transportation is provided for school-age children to attend their home school district for the remainder of the school year. A small on-site day care provides free child care for residents while they attend school, appointments or go to work. An estimated onethird of Minnesota’s homeless are employed.
The shelter’s residents commonly struggle to afford reliable transportation so it provides free bus passes and other resources. Many residents, such as LaTeasa, struggle with mental health issues. While addressing her own health issues, LaTeasa tends to the needs of her 21-monthold son, who was recently diagnosed with autism. Upon coming to Dakota Woodlands, she was connected with psychological care and supportive services. Mental health problems are common challenges for residents at Dakota Woodlands, Bromen said. “When things are going well, it may be in check, but when everything goes downhill, it becomes difficult to manage,” she said. Staff members work with residents to set goals, obtain a GED, if needed, search for a job and obtain permanent housing. “Our goal is to help give people the tools they need so they go out
of here much healthier and prepared than when they came in,” Nicolazzi said. Though families are permitted to stay at Dakota Woodlands for up to two years, residents, on average, stay for about two months, Bromen said. About 60 percent of residents move on to permanent housing, while the remaining 40 percent find other temporary housing options. Finding housing has become an ever present challenge for residents at the shelter due to recent changes to subsidy requirements and funding, Bromen said. “Now subsidies are far and few in between, leaving many in limbo,” she said. LaTeasa is currently on a waiting list for affordable housing and could be waiting for about a year. With homelessness on rise and market-rate rents skyrocketing, growing numbers of families find themselves waiting for affordable housing. A 2012 study by the Wilder Research Center found that 41 percent of Minnesota adults surveyed were on a waiting list to get housing with the average wait time of 11 months. Another 15 percent were unable to get on the list because it was closed. Despite these obstacles, LaTeasa said she hopes to return to the workforce and find stable housing. LaTeasa is looking to study security networking through online classes at Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Pipestone. She says that one day she hopes to own her own business.

& New food rules cause conflict in school cafeterias BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER Have you been to a school cafeteria lately? The menu choices might surprise you: salad bars, black-bean salsa and pizza with whole-wheat crust. They’re designed to meet new federal nutrition standards that have shrunk portion sizes, trimmed fat and sodium, and increased fruits and vegetables. Familiar cafeteria items like corn dogs, chow mein and chicken nuggets are still on many menus, but they‘ve been modified to meet the new guidelines, which took effect in the 2012-13 school year. Standards set by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 aim to stem the epidemic of childhood obesity, which increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Seventeen percent of children are obese and the obesity rate has tripled since 1980, federal data show. The national school lunch program feeds more than 31 million children. School districts must meet federal nutrition standards to
receive meal subsidies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Not everybody is on board with the new food rules. Across the country, news reports showed that some older students protested the new meal plans, complaining that the smaller portions weren’t big enough for active students. Students in Kansas produced a popular YouTube video titled “We Are Hungry.” In Minnesota, schoollunch participation dropped 3.7 percent last year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. State officials are analyzing data to understand reasons for the decline, said Deb Lukkonen, the department’s supervisor for school nutrition programs. She acknowledges that the drop may be partly due to changes in nutrition standards, but expects participation to rebound this year as students adjust to the new choices. “Absolutely, there were some challenges at the beginning of last school year, from a lot of things,” she said. “The bottom line was, we were
making meals healthierfor kids. How can you argue with that?” Middle-school and high-school students in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district had an especially hard time adjusting to the new meal rules, said Wendy Knight, food and nutrition services coordinator. Under the new standards, garlic bread could no longer be served with spaghetti because of limits on calories and carbohydrates, Knight said. Students weren’t happy when they were told they could replace the garlic bread with fruits and vegetables, she said. “They wanted their garlic bread back and they didn’t want to have to take fruits and vegetables,” she said. While Knight supports the goal of healthy meals for students, she’s concerned about the impact on the district’s foodservice budget. Between the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, the district served 6 percent fewer meals, resulting in a $246,000 loss of revenue, Knight said. Knight received ”many, many” phone calls from
parents last year, complaining that their children were still hungry after eating the smaller portions. Many of the students were athletes. School board chairman Rob Duchscher said he heard stories about students tossing uneaten cafeteria food into garbage cans and bringing bag lunches from home. The combination of smaller portion sizes and meal price increases may have caused students to drop school lunches, Duchscher said. Ten-cent price increases two years in a row means that elementary students will pay $2.30 for lunch, while highschool students will pay $2.45 in the 2013-2014 school year. The price increases were mandated by USDA. By requiring all school districts to charge an amount closer to the “full lunch price” set by USDA, the increases aim to strengthen the districts’ financial standing and fund improvements required by the new nutrition standards, according to agency documents. Despite the drop in school-meal revenue, the
district has no plans to abandon its meal program, Duchscher said. Last year’s changes didn’t have the same impact on all Dakota County school districts. In the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district, participation in the lunch program grew 4.1 percent last year, said Roxanne Williams, food and nutrition services director. “We knew the regulations were coming and we started a year ahead,” she said. “We’ve always been a district that’s promoted fruits and vegetables. So I think you have to sell it and be positive about it.” Rules requiring more fruits and vegetables were especially difficult to implement because many children don’t get those items at home, she said. The transition for the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan district was “relatively uneventful,” said food service director Jeff Wolfer. Last year, the district registered a “slight increase” in meal participation among the district’s eight public schools. Students have become
accustomed to new healthier eating habits due to several initiatives, Wolfer said. Salad bars have been offered for at least five years and elementary students have been “taste-testing” fresh fruits and vegetables through a USDA program providing classroom snacks. Responding to complaints from students and school districts, USDA temporarily revised its rules last December to allow larger servings of meat and whole-grain products for the upcoming school year. At the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan school district, Knight hopes the changes will be enough to win back students who stopped buying school lunch last year. That means that students may get garlic toast with their spaghetti again or a slice of cheese with their burgers. “It will just be food-service employees doing the job they know how to do and qualified to do and trying to get our customer base back,” Knight said.
Earn extra credit with healthy brown-bag lunch BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Sometimes, a brownbag lunch can be the best option. Families may be concerned about cost of cafeteria food or kids may not like the food there. Lunch is critical to children’s health and well-being. Kids who skip lunch may have trouble concentrating on schoolwork, lack energy for sports and after-school activities and are more likely to overeat junk food after school, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. A lunch should supply one-third of a child’s daily calorie needs. Aim for a balance of food groups, including lean meat and protein, whole grains, fruits and veg-
etables and low-fat milk or dairy products. Parents can take steps to increase the chances that their kid will eat a packed lunch instead of tossing it in the trash, said Jill Verchota, health promotion specialist at the Dakota County Public Health Department. Increase “buy-in” by involving the child in the process of shopping for and choosing their lunch options, said Verchota, a registered dietitian. They can also help to assemble and pack lunches that can be stored overnight in the fridge. “Mornings are usually hectic,” she said. “A lot’s going on. So make it as easy as possible and do as much
as possible the night before.” Verchota offers these tips: • Make sandwiches with whole-grain bread. Add low-sodium meats like turkey and vegetables like lettuce and tomato. Or try a peanut-butter and banana filling. • Pack fruits or vegetables portioned into small plastic bags or reusable containers. Try clementine oranges, apple slices, strawberries, mangoes or pineapple. Individually packaged applesauce is another option. • Supply protein with string cheese, wholegrain crackers and cheese, individual yogurt cups or a small bag of peanuts or trail mix.

As more and more spas and fitness centers are popping up across the world, and the market becomes oversaturated with choices, the average consumer can become overwhelmed by the choices, which blur together in their similarity. The fact is that the trends of a growing worldwide obesity problem, a rapidly aging population and a celebrity crazed and media obsessed global population have converged to create a fertile ground for the fitness and beauty boom. Let’s face it, the treadmill and weight routine of traditional gym culture can be just that: a dull routine. The cosmetic surgery path isn’t attractive either, given, the needles, incisions, harshness of chemicals and prolonged recovery time. Now is the prime time to look to the new and innovative approach of Microcurrent therapies for face & body lifts and weight loss. Look beautiful, feel healthy... Vibhalife invites you to a special treat resplendent with soothing surroundings and a pleasurable experience.

Feed My Starving Children moves On Aug. 20, the Eagan volunteer mealpacking site of Feed My Starving Children will open in a larger space nearby. The move will increase the site’s packing stations from six to eight, growing its annual production capacity from 27 million to 42 million meals per year to feed more children around the world. Currently located at 990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 160, on the east side of the commercial building, the site will move to Suite 136 on the north side of the same building. When fully ramped up, the larger Eagan site will welcome 3,400 volunteers at 30 packing sessions a week, up from 2,200 per week currently. FMSC opened its Eagan site at the current location in 2008. The site will move into its new location Sunday and Monday, Aug. 18 and 19, and open in the new space at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20. Groups originally scheduled to pack Aug. 19 are being offered other times. The site’s phone number will remain the same, 763-746-2952, as will all other Eagan-based offices of FMSC. The move also provides 35 percent larger warehouse space for FMSC’s Minnesotabased MobilePack operations and for two national departments of FMSC: International Programs (global food distribution) and Operations (meal production).
WISH, from 1A gut. I was instantly fearful,� she said. “Cancer is a scary word. There are a lot of unknowns that come with it.� Faith being no stranger to health troubles comforted her worried parents. “She saw us crying and told us: ‘I’ll be OK, don’t cry,’ � Kearns recalled. Faith, tenacious and stubborn, continued her fighting ways into chemotherapy treatment at University of Minnesota’s Amplatz Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. “It was hard to take her to treatments. She would cry and yell,� Kearns said. “She’d look at us with her big brown eyes and I’d just want to pull her away and take her out of there.� Faith is now in the maintenance phase of her chemotherapy. She takes oral chemotherapy daily but continues to go in for treatments three or four times every 16 weeks. Her new schedule of chemotherapy allows her hair to grow back, a welcome return for Faith. Throughout their fight against cancer, the Kearns family has been supported by the Rosemount community. Their neighbors held a benefit in October and the family has received anonymous gift cards in the mail. The Kearns have also received a great deal of support from the Church of St. Joseph in Rosemount. “They’ve wrapped their arms around us,� Kearns said. “Our faith keeps us going.� St. Joseph members of have provided prayer, support and helped financially throughout Faith’s treatment, says Ester Jaeger, director of faith formation. “The whole family is really close,� she said. “They really care about each other and are very active in giving back to the community.�
A wish come true
Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Magic Kingdom, where Faith met the Disney princesses. Wearing a pink gown donated by Miracles of Mitch Foundation, Faith came face to face with her favorite princess Rapunzel once more. Kearns said the Disney World trip breathed life back into their fight against cancer. “It was an ending point to the first part of treatment, and now we’re starting again,� Kearns said. “We’re refreshed, we have hope.� With one year of chemotherapy completed and leukemia now in remission, Faith has a year and a half more to go. Attending only half days of school since last January, Faith now looks forward to returning to class all day this September. She’s playing soccer now, and while she may not be the fastest player her presence on the field is in itself a milestone. “She’s laughing and having fun,� Kearns said. “She’s out there trying hard. She’s always been a fighter.�
During Faith’s visits to the hospital, Kearns received information on applying to the Make-AWish Foundation. She applied and found out Faith qualified last August. “She’s a duck-loving princess,� Kearns said. “If she didn’t get to meet the princesses, she would have wanted to get a duck.� In the end Faith’s wish was to meet the Disney princesses at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. One day last fall, her favorite princess Rapunzel showed up on her doorstep to announce her wish had been granted. Make-A-Wish built up the excitement by delivering Faith presents leading up to the trip and threw her a send-off party at Mall of America’s Disney Store. “It totally gave her something to talk about, to look forward to, and just made her feel good,� Kearns said. Carleen Crouse, wish coordinator of Make-AWish, worked with the family to make the wish happen. “I have a pretty special job, and Disney wishes are especially awesome,� she said. “They really are Email Kristina Ericksen at av.intern@ecm-inc.com. magical wishes.� When doctors cleared Faith for the trip in February, the entire family was excited to get away. MakeA-Wish organized the trip and provided accommodations at the Give Kids the World Villa, a themed resort for children with life-threatening diseases. The family also received passes to any theme park they wanted. “We didn’t have to worry at all. Make-A-Wish did their best to make sure we just had family time and that Faith could be a normal 8-year-old kid,� Kearns said. “The hardest part was deciding which parks to visit.� During their week in Orlando, the family visited Sea World, Universal

(Photo by John Sherman) Burnsville, Eastview and Lakeville North all reached the state American Legion baseball tournament. That could not happen this year because of a change in the state Legion playoff structure that placed Eastview and Lakeville North in the same Sub-State tourney from which only one team could advance to state. Eastview won that tournament. Burnsville won a different Sub-State tourney and will join Eastview at the state tournament that begins Friday in Edina, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and Richfield. The changes grouped the state’s Division I Legion programs into 15 Sub-State brackets with roughly the same number of teams. That is a departure from the previous district tournament system in which there were wide disparities in the number of teams per district. Because of that, some districts got as many as four teams through to the state tournament, while others got only one. That led to a large number of state tournament qualifiers
coming from the southern and western suburbs. This year’s tournament is still suburb-heavy, with 10 of the 16 qualifiers coming from the metro area. Eastview Thunder coach Bob Klefsaas said he’s not convinced it’s a better playoff system. “We’ll have to see how it goes at the state tournament, but our SubState tournament had several teams that I think could go to state and do very well,” Klefsaas said. “We’re happy to have won it, but Eagan, Lakeville North and Prior Lake are very good teams, too. It’s kind of disappointing only one of us gets to go. I hope they’ll look at tweaking it.” Said Burnsville coach Greg Nesbitt: “It’s similar to a high school section tournament, except that you usually get a day off between games in the high school sections. In our old district tournament you had to worry about 16 other teams, where now you have to worry about eight. But you still have to play good baseball for four days to win it.”
Sports Briefs High school sports physicals Twin Cities Orthopedics, in partnership with various Twin Cities primary care groups, is offering free Minnesota State High School League qualifying sports physicals at six locations, including one in Burnsville. Physicals will be offered at the Burnsville location (1000 W. 140th St., Suite 201) from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 6. The screenings are intended for generally healthy
athletes without any known, pre-existing health problems. Athletes with diagnosed health conditions should consult with their physicians. Advance registration is recommended and is available at by emailing sportsphysicals@tcomn.com or by calling 952-512-5647. Priority and a one-hour time block will be given to those who register in advance. Walk-ins will be taken if time is available but are not guaranteed.
After a 3-3 start in his team’s first six games, Eastview Thunder baseball coach Bob Klefsaas decided that his players needed to practice talking to each other. Seriously. As a group, the Thunder players are laid-back and sometimes were too deferential to each other on the field, Klefsaas said. So, at one practice earlier this summer the Thunder worked on situations that required communication – who would say what to whom, and when. “It was the first time in my 32 years as a coach that we’ve had to practice chatter,” Klefsaas said. “It’s a really quiet group. But baseball is a game of communication, and you have to make sure everybody out there knows what they have to do.” It worked. Eastview won 21 of its next 25 games, including five in a row at the Sub-State 6 tournament in Dundas. The victory at the SubState tournament sent the Thunder to the state tournament for the seventh consecutive year. Eastview (24-7) opens the state tournament at 10 a.m. Friday against the Chester Bird post of Golden Valley, a team whose players come primarily from BenildeSt. Margaret’s. That game will be at Braemar Field in Edina, which also will be the site for the state championship game at 1 p.m. Monday. The top two teams in the state tournament advance to regional play in Fargo, N.D., on Aug. 8. The Thunder consists of players who were in the Eastview High School program in the spring plus two 2012 Eastview graduates, Patrick Strey and Cameron Hall, who still were eligible for Legion ball this summer. Even though the Thunder needed to work on being more vocal on the field, the team concept always was strong, Klefsaas said. “Of the teams we’ve had to go to the state tournament, from a talent standpoint, this one’s
probably in the middle,” the coach said. “From a team standpoint it’s in the top two just because they play so well together.” The Thunder has seven pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings this summer, and the team earned-run average is 2.03. It has eight players hitting .300 or better, and the team average is .335. “We don’t have a superstar,” Klefsaas said. “The thing I’m most proud of is the way we’ve done it. We’ve been very consistent. We play the game, I think, the right way. We pitch well, we play good defense and we put the ball in play.” In the Sub-State 6 tourney, the Thunder held opponents to three runs or fewer in four of its five games. That was no small feat considering its last two opponents were Lakeville North, which sent its high school team to the state tournament in June, and Eagan, which had risen to fourth in the state rankings after winning the 90-team Gopher Classic in July. Eastview beat Eagan 12-1 in the winners’ bracket final July 26, eliminated Lakeville North 7-2 the next day and beat Eagan again 5-3 in the final on July 28. Strey, who will be a sophomore at St. John’s University in the fall, had two victories in the Sub-State tourney and is 5-2 with a 0.93 ERA. Grant Martinson is 6-1 with a 1.02 ERA. Marcus Frederickson, Ryan Heisler, Kevin Wobschall and Jacob Bechstein also have been effective on the mound. Pitching depth is important at the state tournament, where the winning team will play at least five games in four days and possibly as many as eight games. Heisler, who will be a senior at Eastview High in the fall, also has contributed a .431 batting average and .560 on-base percentage. Klefsaas had penciled in Evan DeCovich, one of the stars of Eastview High’s 2012 state championship team, as his first baseman. But DeCovich needed knee surgery after his freshman year at Grand View University and could not play this summer. That left an opportunity for Heisler, who seized it and ran with it.

Thisweekend Lakeville playwright makes Fringe Festival debut Stage comedy ‘A Certain Age’ runs through Aug. 11 at HUGE Theater Jennifer Cockerill jokes that she took up writing because drinking heavily wasn’t a practical option. A professional actor turned stay-at-home mom, Cockerill will see the debut of her play “A Certain Age” at this year’s Minnesota Fringe Festival. The stage comedy centering on middle-aged life isn’t the Lakeville resident’s first foray into writing – Cockerill has penned skits and holiday programs for her church, Prince of Peace in Burnsville, and last year created a humorous blog called “Gone Bionic” dealing with her hip replacement. A friend from Cockerill’s acting days, Elena Giannetti, saw Gone Bionic and encouraged her to try writing something for the stage.
Jennifer Cockerill “Elena said, ‘You made hip replacement funny – you should write a play,’ ” Cockerill recounted. “And as I started to write, I kept coming back to my own experiences. I realized there just isn’t a lot of material out there
about being a woman in your 40s and 50s.” The collection of comedic vignettes comprising “A Certain Age” touch on teen text-speak, yoga classes, hockey mom banter, and other experiences that women with teenage and college-age kids can relate to, Cockerill said. Giannetti is directing the play, and Andrew Cooke, musical director for Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, wrote original music for the show. “A Certain Age” opened Aug. 1 and runs through Aug. 11 at HUGE Theater, 3037 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis. Tickets for the play can be purchased by going to www.fringefestival.org and searching “A Certain Twin Cities actors Shelli Place and Teri Parker-Brown star in “A Certain Age,” a Age.” —Andrew Miller stage comedy written by Jennifer Cockerill of Lakeville.

Comedic skullduggery in ‘Everybody Loves Opal’ Expressions play runs Aug. 9-18 in Lakeville Murder attempts – at least bungled ones – are the stuff of comedy in the latest production from Lakeville-based Expressions Community Theater. “Everybody Loves Opal,” which plays the Lakeville Area Arts Center Aug. 9-18, centers on middle-aged recluse and packrat Opal, who lives in a mansion at the edge of a city dump and is targeted
by three career criminals seeking to collect on Opal’s life insurance policy. The humor develops as the crooks try to “do in” Opal – with a collapsing ceiling, drugging her and setting her house on fire, staging a hit-and-run accident. Moose heads stuffed with money further complicate matters. The show is directed
by Erin O’Brien of Burnsville, and the six-actor cast includes Shawn Bakken, Joe Conely, Karen Ell, Scott Lessman, Peggy Miller and Mike Reardon. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Aug. 9-10 and 16-17, and 2 p.m. Aug. 11 and 18. Tickets are $14.50 and are available at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com and 952-985-4640. —Andrew Miller
