Move aims to improve safety, parking, participation in all of Rosemount Leprechaun Days events

by Tad Johnson

Dark plots unfold

All-day kindergarten should help Farmington Area Public Schools bottom line next year.

The 2013 Minnesota Legislature approved new funding to allow free, all-day kindergarten starting in 2014 for public school districts. Any student enrolled in all-day kindergarten will be counted as a full-time equivalent student, providing additional funding for the district.

In the past, kindergarten students were only counted as 0.5 FTE. According to Farmington’s Finance Director Carl Colmark, this is one of the reasons why the district is looking at a budget surplus of $200,000 for the 2014-2015 school year, unlike 2013-2014 when the district was facing a budget shortfall of $1.1 million.

Colmark said when enrollment numbers are increasing, budgets are made more efficient than when enrollment is decreasing. Revenue is coming in faster than the costs to support students, which is why that surplus is projected for next year.

Starting next week, Farmington elementary schools will be holding Kindergarten Roundup

Say you can’t wait for the next Rosemount Leprechaun Days Grand Day Parade?

Well, you won’t have to wait as long this year because the all-volunteer committee that organizes the annual summer festival will move the parade to the first weekend of the 10 days of events.

After much deliberation, the committee decided to set the Grand Day Parade for 11 a.m. Saturday, July 19, in an effort to improve safety, increase parking options and encourage more participation

throughout Leprechaun Days. “We wanted to get the information out there as soon as possible, so people will have time to plan their time in Rosemount,� said Diane Wellman, committee president.

It was a difficult decision to change such a tradition, but committee members felt it was best for planning purposes by having only one major event on that day.

Wellman said Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste, City Administrator Dwight Johnson and Police Chief Eric Werner supported the committee’s decision.

The committee hopes

that having the parade serve as a kickoff to Leprechaun Days will allow the committee to publicize some of the other 60-plus events, many of which are organized by community groups as fundraisers. “We hear from a lot of people who go to the parade that they weren’t aware of all of the other events that already happened early in the week,�

Wellman said. “Our plan is to hand out our schedule of events during the parade when we have so many people in one place, so they will know about those events and increase See PARADE, 17A

Sky is the limit for fitness goals Apple Valley man wants to share how exercise changed his life

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The old Jon Reicherts would sleep in as late as he could on many days and did little exercise, which he said led to an unfulfilled life.

With the new Jon Reicherts having fitness goals where the sky is the limit, there is no telling what his body can accomplish.

That’s the philosophy he wants to share with others at Skybound Fitness, which opened recently at 15255 Carousel Way in Rosemount.

The business was launched last year after the Apple Valley man taught some boot camp classes at Grand Hall in downtown Farmington in January 2013. “The classes were instantly successful,�

Reicherts said.

The offerings were moved outdoors in the summer when he taught them in area parks, then moved back indoors at the Rosemount site in October 2013 when Reicherts funded the startup with savings from money he generated from the classes. “It is a perfect space,�

Reicherts said. “It has a slight industrial feel, without being cold and too rugged, and it has a professional-looking store front. The location is ideal as it offers a niche gym

Jon Reicherts is owner of Skybound Fitness in Rosemount.

Reicherts described himself as a person who used to sit around on the couch a lot but transformed his outlook on life by starting an exercise regimen. (Photo submitted) with a large-city feel in a small suburb, something missing in Rosemount.�

Reicherts hopes the camaraderie, unusual workout equipment and its fitness results will draw area residents to the no-membership-fees Skybound.

Pushing around oversized tires and swinging thick ropes may not be what one thinks of when entering a gym, but at Skybound, they are staples.

Use of the unusual equipment has also saved the business money it otherwise would have spent on workout machines.

Skybound emphasizes group fitness classes as a way to create a family atmosphere and being a fun, positive reinforcement to hold people accountable for fitness goals.

While yoga, boot camp and Zumba classes are well known, Capoeira – a Brazilian martial art – is one of the new offering

Clients at Skybound Fitness in Rosemount don’t pay any enrollment fees. They pay for classes they want to take, such as those that incorporate boxing. (Photo submitted) that Reicherts says is a rarity in the Twin Cities. “Many of our clients are nervous and anxious when they first try a class,� he said. “They quickly become comfortable with the accepting atmosphere we provide.�

Contributing to the family atmosphere, Reicherts, a longtime area resident, is making sure the business is involved in the community. The site was a recent drop-off location for Toys for Tots and it has offered free classes for various groups.

In addition to volunteering with Salvation Army, Reicherts’ wife, Tammy, is vice president of the Apple Valley Moms Club.

Reicherts, who is married and has two young boys, said the best part about being in the fitness business is seeing relationships formed. “Many of our clients have become great friends,� he said. “Knowing that my business had a part of changing peoples lives not just through becoming healthier, but impacting the people that

( ; 3 2

become important and instrumental in their lives, there are no words.�

He said couples who have taken classes together and have made their marriages stronger is on the top of his list.

Despite working a full-time job as security director for the Federal Aviation Administration in Farmington, Reicherts sets aside time each week to email clients to check in with them.

He said he believes in being accessible to clients and offering advice as a personal trainer and nutritional consultant. “It’s important to be open to new ideas and to occasionally implement an idea a client has,� Reicherts said. “This makes them feel very important and listened to. They will speak your praises for a long time after that.�

With an eye to the future, Reicherts said the best way to keep the business thriving is to provide results for clients. “Many people are surprised by how comfortable our environment is,�

Reicherts said. “Our business is family friendly, providing an atmosphere similar to that of a family.�

Akin Park Estates curb project to move forward

by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At Tuesday night’s Farmington City Council meeting, council members awarded a contract to complete curb work and repair in Akin Park Estates.

Farmington bid the project as two alternates.

The first alternate included full curb replacement in the east project area and spot repairs to the curb in the west project area at Akin Park Estates. The second alternate included replacement of all curb in the project area.

According to the city, when the east project area was developed, city standards did not include placing rebar in the curb over service lines such as sewer and water for each house.

This has contributed to settling of the curb in the east project area.

By the time the west project area was devel-

oped, city standards had changed and the curbs, while weathered in that area, do not have the same settling issues as the east project area.

Because of this, the council decided to go with the first alternate and awarded the bid to Valley Paving of Shakopee for $907,924. The project is set to start in June with tentative completion set before school starts in the fall.

In the fall of 2013, Farmington sold bonds to finance this project.

Any funds remaining after the Akin Park Estates rehabilitation project will be used on the Ninth and Hickory Street project and for work west of Pilot Knob Road near Euclid Path and adjoining city streets. Estimates are that approximately $450,000 will remain after the Akin Park Estates project is completed. Those funds will then be used on those

future projects.

In other business, Tom Ryan, of Farmington, asked if the city and fire department have a plan in case of a train derailment in the city limits. He lives 1 1/2 blocks from the railroad tracks and is worried that a derailment of the oil trains that regularly come through Farmington would devastate the city. “I’m deathly scared that one of them is going to come unglued and we’ll have the biggest fire you’ve ever seen in this city,� he said.

He also asked how the city will be disposing of dead ash trees. He pointed out other surrounding cities have set aside significant funds to deal with the problem and he asked how Farmington will be dealing with the problem.

City Administrator Dave McKnight took note of Ryan’s concerns and said he would contact him with answers.

Farmington woman to be sentenced for manslaughter “Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Kaiden Staebell for their great loss.�

Graupmann was licensed to care for 12 children. The child care was shut down following the death after her day care license was suspended.

An autopsy ruled Staebell’s death was accidental by “probable positional asphyxiation,� according to the complaint.

Graupmann allegedly told police initially that Staebell fell asleep in a car seat, but a detective noticed a wet spot with what appeared to be blood in another bed in the house.

When confronted with what the detective found, Graupmann told police she had put Staebell in her daughter’s adult bed for a nap on top of a comforter.

She said later she saw the

child on his side in the bed and left him in that position.

Staebell’s parents’ verbal and written instructions were to always lay him on his back, the complaint said. In speaking with police, Graupmann also referenced a crib that she should have put together for Staebell’s nap times.

Graupmann said she later found the child “cold to the touch, his lips were blue, and he had blood around his nose when she picked him up.� She then called 911.

She told police she “should not have laid him in the bed� multiple times.

Backstrom thanked the Farmington Police Department for their thorough investigation in this case. – Tad Johnson

A 46-year-old Farmington woman pleaded guilty on Thursday, Feb. 13, to felony second-degree manslaughter involving endangerment of a child in connection with the death of 3-month-old Kaiden Robert Staebell on July 31, 2012, while he was in her care at her home day care facility in Farmington.

Rebecca Lynn Graupmann was originally charged May 22, 2013, with another second-degree manslaughter count and three gross misdemeanors that will be dismissed at sentencing, which is slated for April 15. “We are pleased the defendant accepted responsibility for her actions that caused the death of a child in her care,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a release.

February 20, 2014 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Opinion Use state bonding dollars wisely If you had a billion dollars to spend on any public project within Minnesota, what would you choose?

Would you spend $5 million to build a new security fence around the Shakopee prison, $500,000 for “pre-design” design, to improve and renovate historic Fort Snelling or $10 million to preserve public housing for low-income families?

Should $20 million go to Minneapolis to spruce up the Nicollet Mall? Or maybe $7 million for the sculpture garden, to help the spoon get its shine back?

How about $37 million for the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, $800,000 to restore the Carnegie Library in Bemidji, $5 million for an Asian carp barrier in Coon Rapids, or $3.1 million for a bike trail in Becker County?

These are all real projects submitted to the state department of finance to be included in the 2014 bonding bill.

Traditionally in Minnesota, the oddnumbered year is budget time for state lawmakers. They approve a two-year budget that covers revenues, expenses and all of the costs needed to keep our government running.

The even-numbered year – here we are, 2014 – is a bonding year. Bonding is a government word for borrowing money. Minnesotans borrow money to buy a car, a boat or a snowmobile. It’s the same

ECM Editorial thing. We take out a mortgage to buy a house or frivolously max out credit cards at 22 percent interest on things we don’t need.

Government can do the same – spend wisely, spend foolishly or choose to not spend at all.

The most recent state revenue report was quite good. The state is showing a surplus and might actually have a few extra million that can be put away for a rainy day.

So now, back to the question: Where would you spend a billion dollars?

Would you pick only projects within 10 miles of your home, so you personally could benefit? Would you concentrate all of the spending in the Twin Cities? Would you want to spread out the money, so everyone from Cambridge to Caledonia, from Lakeville to Little Falls, from Bloomington to Baudette, got a piece of the pie?

Would you place priority on projects that enhanced the safety of our residents?

Or would you pick the projects based on entertainment and recreation? Would you favor dull but necessary projects such as correcting waste-water discharge

issues? Or might you pick $8 million to build an arts center? Our state’s leaders will soon have to answer those questions.

The initial “wish list” included over $4 billion in project requests. Gov. Mark Dayton wanted to narrow the list to about $1 billion and his official recommendation came in just under that at $986 million.

As the 2014 legislative session approaches, the structure and composition of the project list will be a huge topic.

Legislative leaders will bring at least two, if not four versions of the spending list into the debate. House Republicans will not have the same list as House Democrats. Senate Republicans and Democrats will differ from each other. All four groups may have lists totally different from the governor’s.

This is indeed a topic where each Minnesotan should send a message to his or her legislator, suggesting priorities and specific needs.

Is $1 billion about the right total? Or is it way too much? Should we borrow half that? Maybe you think we should go all out right now, while interest rates are low, and borrow a couple of extra billion dollars to fix dilapidated and dangerous rural bridges?

As an editorial board, we support one project whole-hardheartedly: Our

incredibly beautiful State Capitol building, designed by renowned architect Cass Gilbert, needs to be fully reconstructed and renovated so the building stands glorious and strong generations from now.

We urge lawmakers to continue their bipartisan support and approve the $126 million needed to preserve our Capitol.

As for the many other worthy projects, we would offer these suggestions: Projects that benefit the whole state should have priority over local-only requests.

Public safety needs to be high on the list – for example, bridges that are dangerous should be repaired or replaced.

Be practical, placing “needs” over “wants.” Can we afford to enhance an art center before we fix rotting walls at a state prison?

Finally, be frugal over fanciful. Our state and nation’s economy is still in recovery, we still see ups and downs in financial markets. Job growth continues, but yet many are unemployed.

How should we spend a billion dollars?

Wisely.

Education columnist inspires changes

by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Joe Nathan’s weekly columns published by this newspaper are making a difference, potentially helping save families of college-bound students millions of dollars while helping improve public schools.

ECM Publishers is proud to publish Nathan’s columns. His messages are shaking up content on state and school district websites, getting out information that state law requires schools to distribute.

Nathan, director of the Center for School Change and author of two books, is a former award-winning Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president. He’s a frequent commentator on local and national radio and television. He helped write the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options legislation, which enables sophomores, juniors and seniors to take college courses while they are in high school. High school students can earn a year of college credit, or more, thus saving on costly college tuition.

Nathan is determined that the Minnesota Department of Education and school superintendents obey the law and provide complete information for 10th graders who are eligible to take these college classes for the first time.

While monitoring the Department of Education website, Nathan saw incomplete information about the 10th-grade career and technical PSEO option that the Legislature approved in 2012. He wrote about it in his column and contacted Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius, who directed that more complete information be provided on the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman state’s website. Earlier she had encouraged school superintendents to provide information about dual-credit courses by March 1, as required by state law.

What vital information about postsecondary options is revealed in these changes?

• Low-income families can get funds from the state to pay for their child’s transportation to take PSEO courses at four-year universities and two-year community or technical schools.

• Tenth-graders who have passed the state’s eighth-grade reading test are eligible to take a free career and technical college course. If they earn a C grade or better on their first semester course, they can take additional classes in the second semester.

• Some PSEO courses also are online.

Contact the Department of Education with questions about dual-credit courses. The department’s Web page with PSEO information is at bit.ly/1nubZ1H. To Cassellius’ credit, after reading Nathan’s concerns about lack of updated information on the department website, she had it changed.

Nathan monitored 61 websites, mostly in ECM’s reader area, and noticed many of them, too, had incomplete information about PSEO opportunities for 10th graders. He contacted school district

superintendents before he wrote his column. Some said they didn’t know their website information was incomplete and thanked him for the alert.

Last month, Nathan also looked at more than 25 Minnesota two-year college websites and found that almost half did not mention the 10th-grade career tech option. He contacted Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Chancellor Steve Rosenstone. Again, to Rosenstone’s credit, updates were completed.

Nathan regrets there is such a disconnect between the time laws are passed and when complete information about the law is put on school district websites.

Nathan says he is determined to spread the word about dual-credit courses, including Advanced Placement, College in the Schools and PSEO, because research shows students who take these classes can save thousands of dollars and are almost twice as likely to graduate from some form of higher education.

On another front, Nathan is pressuring the Minnesota Department of Education, Minnesota Office of Higher Education and administrators of Minnesota public colleges and universities to obey the state law and release the figures for how many Minnesota students from each public high school are taking remedial courses in college. State law requires the Department of Education and the public post-secondary groups to work together to produce an annual report on this. But despite the requirement that there be a yearly, public report, no study has been produced since 2011.

He continues to ask the department and Office of Higher Education, which apparently has taken over for the public

university officials, about the study.

This report is important because the state’s educators need to know how many public high school graduates are taking remedial courses so they can change strategies to reduce that number.

Parents also should be concerned because they might be paying the costs for their students to take these remedial courses taught in college. They also can compare remediation rates for various high schools.

Nathan cites research showing that nationally only 25 percent of students who have to take remedial courses in two-year colleges earn an associate degree in eight years.

He says that, according to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, 22 percent of full-time, newly enrolled students graduate, on average, from Minnesota state public colleges and universities system members in four years, compared to the 48 percent who graduate in six years, in part because they had to take remedial courses and had problems with post-secondary education costs.

Nathan’s agenda going forward as he writes columns is to have more students graduate from high school, have fewer high school students need to take remedial courses in college and boost the rate of one-, two- or four-year college graduates.

ECM Publishers is pleased to partner with Nathan as he writes well-documented columns that get results and improve the quality of education of students.

Letters About saving face To the editor: The Dakota County Board took action to adjust the process for the Lebanon Hills Regional Park Master Plan, leading to the appearance of concern for citizens and the park.

During the board’s discussion at its Feb. 11 meeting, not one single commissioner mentioned that perhaps this plan does not meet citizens expectations.

Not one comment regarding residents’ concerns over this plan’s violation of the 2001 plan. No discussion over concerns

regarding the cost of ongoing maintenance for all this development through a valued natural park. No discussion that the vast majority of public comments received during the past year have been opposed to this development plan.

Instead, the commissioners’ discussion focused on the negative perception people have of them. It focused on how to erase the black mark earned by this County Board. It focused on how strict of guidelines should be placed on a potential citizen group.

In other words, it focused on how to repair their image … and still develop re-

gional bike trails through the park.

Their discussion was disappointing. Their action taken was about saving face above all else.

Give everyone a raise

on the rise. A widening income gap is not to be bemoaned or celebrated. It’s a mathematical certainty being used as another leftist manufactured crisis whose solution just happens to be more redistribution of wealth. One component of which happens to be a push for increasing the minimum wage. Employment is subject to the same market forces as any other product. When the price is artificially raised there will be less demand, increasing unemployment at the margin. If the true goal were to give everyone a raise, cut taxes.

To the editor: Let’s dump the talking points and think about the income inequality gap.

The lowest income is, and always will be, $0. The highest income, due to productivity, inflation, societal valuation and other factors, is almost always KEVIN SCHLEPPENBACH Apple Valley

Snow angels To the editor: I looked out the window Monday, Feb. 17, and didn’t think there had been much snow. So I got in my car and proceeded down the driveway. Near the street I became stuck, and the more I tried to get out, the more stuck I be-

came. The back half of my station wagon was in the street. The street had not been plowed either. As I contemplated what to do, a good Samaritan came around the corner to help me. And then another one came by and stopped and then another. I am handicapped and really needed their help, so a great big thanks to the snow angels who stopped on Redwood Drive on Monday.

Make Dodd Road safe To the editor: I travel the stretch of Dodd Road where Alyssa Ettl died in a car accident often, probably two of three times per week. Once in a while, I take my freshman daughter to school at Lakeville North in the morning. More frequently, I take my sixth-grade son (and a teammate or two of his) to and from basketball practice at the school.

Long before Dec. 4, 2013, the many times I’ve traveled that road, I thought of the danger – going around that curve, the 55 mph speed limit, no shoulder, slippery conditions.

This paper has printed a number of my letters, most of which were rewritten over and over in an effort to make my point clear in as little words as possible. But this time, the words come so easily.

I think of my daughter and all of her friends.

And I think of my son and his friends. So many of whom I’m watching grow up, have coached in flag football, basketball and baseball. I’ve become close with many of their parents. It’s been such a joy watching them grow up together and I know anybody with kids in any extra-curricular activities can relate. My daughter stood in the enormously long line the night of Alyssa’s wake at All Saints Church. She cried her eyes out the day of the tragedy.

She still has a simple drawSee LETTERS, 5A

Make it the most beautiful stretch of road in Lakeville with lights, landscaping and wide shoulders. And rename that stretch of road Alyssa Ettl Way. Don’t worry about the money. Our community will come together to take care of that. And we’ll never forget the tragedy of Dec. 4, 2013.

Dakota County Tribune and is posted online at the Exceptional Businesswomen link at SunThisweek.com. “We are very excited to have this panel discussion,� Jech said. “We expect the winners to talk about the challenges they met along the way, some of those related to women’s changing roles in the workplace.�

The variety of stories is expected to be revealing, as the panel includes Audrey Aronoson Johnson, who was among the first class of women to be accepted in the Harvard-Radcliffe School of Business for Women program in 1959, and Linda Radue, who was among one of the few women in the vehicle sales business when she started six years ago.

Though Johnson is above the typical retirement age, she continues to work with the Lakevillebased property management business Johnson Companies, and Radue is one of Volkswagen’s top salespersons in the state

fund research and other services for those affected by such fatal diseases as cancer and AIDS. Other award winners this year are Diane Lindo and Lara Kelley of the Minnesota School of Beauty and Stacey Marmolejo, of Eagan-based Rock Mammas.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Catherine Byers Breet, a 2013 Exceptional Businesswomen honoree, who is chief stripe changer at ARBEZ Inc., a company she founded that coaches job seekers to find their true callings.

Breet, an Eagan resident for 12 years, is a motivational speaker, developer of the Dream Job Workshop Series and has led countless discussions like the one expected Tuesday.

She has encouraged people to tap into their thoughts about the perfect career through individual sessions, workshops and the Easter Job Transitions Group at Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan.

Her goal is to help people find a career to

thrive in and truly be happy. “Most people spend their lives stifling that roar, trying to fit into other people’s plans,� she said. “Every single one of us has something special to offer this world, and when we finally acknowledge our unique gifts, and give ourselves permission to be great, we can change the world.�

Breet has gone through career transitions on her own.

She’s spent time as a summer camp counselor, tour guide, flight attendant and she’s traveled the world. For nine years she worked as a corporate recruiter and “headhunter,� but felt the urge to go out on her own.

In 2006 she launched ARBEZ, which provides tools, customized training and solutions for career counselors, corporations, higher education and organizations. ARBEZ, zebra spelled backward, believes people can change their stripes.

Spotlight on Education â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine Your Futureâ&#x20AC;?

Textbooks versus E-books? Advice for college students As every semester begins, college students research online, trying to find the best deals on textbooks.

According to CollegeBoard, college students spend an average of $1,200 per year on textbooks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that expenses are high for students pursuing higher education and many young adults are constantly seeking ways to save money.

Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Da-

kota reminds students etextbooks are an option to consider.

Many publishing companies have begun to offer textbooks in an e-textbook format, made for computers, tablets and e-readers, at a lower price than the hardcover texts found in campus bookstores. So why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more students opting for a tablet instead of carrying around multiple textbooks?

There are some advantages

and disadvantages to using a tablet or e-reader rather than traditional textbooks, and the BBB suggests that students should consider them all before making the decision to switch up their study tools.

Reasons students should consider e-textbooks: â&#x20AC;˘ E-textbooks are significantly less expensive than their hard-copy counterparts. However, you have to factor in the cost of the tab-

Looking for a private school?

Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the decision to send your son or daughter to a private school, you need to choose which school it will be.

There are a myriad of education styles available today, and the choices are varied and interesting.

In addition to the type of school, the choice of school is just as important.

So, how SHOULD you go about choosing a school for yourself and/or your child? The choice you ultimately make can have a big impact in many ways.

Here are some important qualities to look for in selecting a school that meets your specific needs.

Does the school offer a full range of activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sports, drama, music and student activities?

For high schools, are the college entrance test scores above average?

How many students go on to college? What is the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation rate?

Read the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission statement. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a faith-based school, read and understand its beliefs and principles. You should agree with their statement

of faith or values. Private schools will include their educational philosophy and beliefs throughout their curriculum.

More intangible but very important is the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere.

Will your student feel comfortable in the community and personality of the school? Every private school has a distinct atmosphere that is unique to that school. Visit the school for a day and have your child go to classes so they can experience the student life.

When you walk in the door, is the school pleasant and clean? You want to know that every effort is being undertaken to keep the facility as sanitary as possible.

Talk to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructors and make some notes. Ask them some hard questions: How do they handle discipline problems? What do they expect from each student?

How do they promote good behavior? Do they act like the role models that they are?

Watch how the instructors interact with students.

Are they happy to be there? Do they treat each person as an important part of the class, or focus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-achieverâ&#x20AC;? students? Are they respectful of the students, or do they simply demand obedience?

These things will help you see a clear picture of the school.

Finally, look at the students. Do they seem to be engaged in the process?

Are they interested or bored? Are they happy?

Ultimately you will have to deal with the financial issue. This is very important. Ask the school to provide you with its costs upfront. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set yourself up for disappointment. Make sure there are no surprises in this area.

Finding the best school for your needs isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a matter of luck. If you do your homework before choosing a school, you will find that there are differences in each school. Information will make you an informed buyer, and will provide your best opportunity for achieving the educational goals you have set for yourself and/ or your child.

let or reader itself, ranging anywhere from $80 to $300, depending on the model you choose. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make sure that the savings will be worth the investment in the end. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an incoming freshman or sophomore, chances are the investment is worth it, but if you have only a semester or two of school left and are planning to purchase the ereader solely for academic purposes, you may want to just stick to traditional textbooks. â&#x20AC;˘ Imagine all of your heavy textbooks compacted into one, lightweight device. This not only takes the strain off of your back, but also makes it a lot easier to do homework anywhere.

Also, you have all of your textbooks in one spot,

which is definitely a convenience. â&#x20AC;˘ Most tablets operate off of Wi-Fi and can be used for many things besides just reading e-books.

Reasons some students might stick with traditional textbooks: â&#x20AC;˘ With most textbooks, you may be able to sell them back to the bookstore or online at the end of the semester, giving you at least some of your cash back.

Keep in mind that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-sell e-textbooks. â&#x20AC;˘ Tablets and e-readers may actually hinder study habits for those used to learning from physical textbooks. Some people might find it more difficult to annotate and take notes with e-textbook formats. Students that use e-textbooks

may choose to continue taking notes on paper. â&#x20AC;˘ Not all textbooks are available in all formats.

Some editions may only be available as standard textbooks.

If you choose to opt for a tablet or an e-reader, you will also want to do some research to find out which model is the best fit for you.

Read consumer reviews and make sure you understand the features that each tablet offers.

If you already own an ereader or a tablet, you may want to experiment with one e-textbook, to see how â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that works for you.

Lakeville North studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; book drive yields outpouring of support

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In a tangible display of compassion, tribute and honor, the Lakeville community responded so thoroughly to a book drive in the memory of Alyssa Ettl that its outpouring more than quadrupled organizersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals.

Ettl, a compassionate and selfless 16-year-old whose Dec. 4 fatal car crash shook the community, had before her death shared with friends her desire to hold a book drive for elementary students in need.

In her honor, about 15 of Ettlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends recently carried out her plans by holding a two-week book drive.

Their stated goal was to gather 1,000 new and used elementary-level books to donate to Andersen United Community School in Minneapolis.

The effort brought in far more than anticipated: 4,550 new and used books, according to Ettlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend and one of the book drive organizers, Lakeville North junior Caleb Bussler.

To culminate the drive, organizers held a Feb. 12 community event at Lakeville North, featuring music, entertainment and food, where they also sold T-shirts, bracelets, car stickers and raffle tickets, raising about $1,200 to fund a scholarship being established in Ettlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

Riley Mostaert, a Lakeville North junior, got the second of the light blue Tshirts (Ettlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite color) at the event.

She said she and Ettl played basketball together, and she wears them during warm-ups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted another one because I wear it so much,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lakeville North junior Karly Smrekar said demand for the clothing and bracelets memorializing Ettl have been so strong they only have a few items left from the second reorder.

Bussler said the volunteers are considering carrying on the book drive in the future for different schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with the turnout and want to thank everyone for the involvement,â&#x20AC;? Bussler said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It meant so much to everyone involved that it was successful and that we could work with the community of Lakeville to give back. The reception was awesome, and it makes me very interested and excited to see where we can go from here.â&#x20AC;?

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Over time, Peter and Christine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe turned their grief into a spirit of giving.

The Apple Valley couple founded the Mary Moon Foundation to honor their 3-year-old daughter Mary, who died from cancer in July 2009.

The nonprofit foundation grew out of Christineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, in the wake of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, to bring art supplies to children at the Minneapolis hospital where her daughter had been treated, in hopes of brightening the days of other kids there.

Founded in 2011, the Mary Moon Foundation conducts fundraising events to help finance

art supplies, toys and games for the University of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amplatz Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. (The foundation is so named because Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nickname was Moon.)

The good work of the Mary Moon Foundation was acknowledged by Mike and Jenny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Masta of Eagan, whose 5-yearold daughter Grace spent 445 days in the hospital while awaiting a new heart.

The hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ChildFamily Life Services kept Grace and her sister Olivia busy with art projects, Play-Doh and movies during the stay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made a pretty horrible situation somewhat better, not only for our children but also for us parents,â&#x20AC;? Jenny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Masta

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took care of the simple things you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about and they were just there, there to do the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; things.â&#x20AC;?

The Mary Moon Foundation is hosting its third annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make a Splashâ&#x20AC;? event March 9 at the Water Park of America in Bloomington, with proceeds going to ChildFamily Life Services at the Minneapolis childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital.

Tickets for the event are $12 and can be purchased at www.marymoonfoundation.org. The foundation is also hosting a silent auction in conjunction with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make a Splash,â&#x20AC;? and details can be found on the website.

Tigers take long streak into playoffs

Rosemount sends team to state gymnastics for first time since 1993

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

How long has it been since Rosemount went to the state gymnastics team competition?

Put it this way: The last time was before any of the current gymnasts were born.

The Irish qualified for state for the first time in 21 years by winning the Section 3AA championship last Friday at Eagan High School. Rosemount’s previous state appearances were in 1987 and 1993.

“It was very exciting for me and the girls,” said Rosemount coach Jason Passeri, who will take the team to state for the first time in his 16 years as the Irish’s coach.

Rosemount scored 146.85 points to East Ridge’s 146.05 but had to come from behind to win the section championship. The Irish had problems on uneven bars, their first event, with none of their gymnasts finishing higher than seventh. They scored 34.975 on bars, putting them 1.2 points behind East Ridge, which preceded Rosemount in the event.

Rosemount made up most of the deficit on balance beam, scoring 37 points to East Ridge’s 35.9. Rosemount took a tiny lead after the floor exercise. On vault, the final event, East Ridge “looked awesome in warmups, so I knew it could be close,” Passeri said. “Unfortunately for them they missed two vaults during the competition and we had one of our best vault scores of the year with a 37.5.”

The Irish will go to the state team competition at 6 p.m.

Friday at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion.

Roseville is two-time defending state champion but No. 1-ranked Northfield goes in as a slight favorite. Roseville was second in the state coaches association’s final Class AA rankings. Rosemount was fifth. The only teams in the top 10 not to advance to state are sixth-ranked Winona/Winona Cotter, which lost to Northfield in the Section 1AA meet, and No. 9 East Ridge, the Section 3AA runner-up to Rosemount.

Park of Cottage Grove, last year’s Section 3AA champion, finished third in Friday’s meet with 143.05 points.

Three Rosemount gymnasts also qualified for the individual portion of the state meet at 6 p.m. Saturday at the University of Minnesota. Eighth-grader Josie Schlie finished second in the Section 3AA all-around with 37.45, was champion on beam with 9.65, tied for first on floor exercise with 9.5 and finished second on vault with 9.475.

Schlie tied for sixth on vault at the 2013 state Class AA meet and finished 22nd in the all-around.

Meghan Creese, a sophomore, was section champion on vault with 9.5. Also advancing individually was eighth-grader Shannon McCoy, who took third on beam with 9.325. McCoy also was sixth on vault, missing qualifying for state in that event by .05.

Rosemount beat East Ridge 74-6 in the quarterfinals, then beat ninth-ranked Eastview 3926 in the semifinals.

“We knew we needed to get some bonus points against Eastview,” Larson said, “and the pins we got from Grant Jackson (145) and Connor Busho were huge. I think those 12 points turned the match in our favor.”

Apple Valley wrestling teams had grown accustomed to setting aside distractions, but this was different.

The Eagles qualified for the state team competition for the 32nd consecutive year after defeating Rosemount 60-9 in the Class 3A, Section 3 championship match Friday night. It was not necessarily smooth sailing for the Eagles.

Within the last several weeks, two varsity wrestlers left the program and enrolled at other schools. David Lee Racer, whose son Dayton won the Class 3A 145-pound championship last year, went public with his grievances, alleging in a Star Tribune article that other parents had grown jealous of his son’s success and had sought to get him suspended from the team.

If these issues hindered Apple Valley at the section team tournament, it was difficult to tell. The Eagles outscored opponents 201-12 in three dual meets, dropping only three matches along the way. Apple Valley (30-0) advances to the Class 3A team tournament Feb. 27 at Xcel Energy Center. The

Individual tournament

They will seek a ninth consecutive state championship.

Asked if he thought the negative publicity affected his team, Eagles coach Dalen Wasmund said, “that’s always a danger.

We’ve been talking a lot about focusing on the things you can control instead of the things you can’t.”

Kyle Rathman (106), Gross (138), Daivonte Young (152), Mark Hall (170), Bobby Steveson (182) and Paul Cheney (220) won their matches by fall against Rosemount. The Eagles

The Class 3A, Section 3 individual tournament is Friday and Saturday at Eagan High School. The field includes four 2013 state champions from Apple Valley – Woiwor, Gross, Hall and Cheney – and Wasmund said he believes there’s a reasonable chance the Eagles can have a state qualifier at every weight.

Rosemount’s Hedin, Jake Baker (113) and Otterdahl are among their school’s top contenders to qualify for the state meet. George Farmah (ranked fifth at 126), Nick Pegelow (fifth at 195) and Jacob Rukavina (seventh at 160) lead Eastview’s hopefuls. Eagan’s Nasir Ali is ranked eighth at 106, while Dawit Gebreb (120) and Joe Dubbels (152) are ranked ninth in their weight classes.

did not use two of their highly ranked wrestlers, Maolu Woiwor (No. 1 at 132) and Lord Josh Hyeamang (285) in the team championship match.

Rosemount’s Adam Hedin, ranked third in the state at 132, won by decision and Payton Otterdahl, ranked ninth at 285, won by fall in 17 seconds.

“We were hoping to be in the championship match,” said Rosemount coach Brett Larson, whose team is ranked 11th in Class 3A. “We had a good day.

Farmington goes into the section boys hockey playoffs with the state’s longest active winning streak at 16 games. If the Tigers can extend that by three, they will go to the state Class AA tournament for the first time.

Easier said than done, though. If the Tigers are to reach the state tourney, they might have to get past both teams from the neighboring city to the west.

Farmington is seeded second in the Section 1AA playoffs and faces seventh-seeded Rochester John Marshall in a quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. Thursday at Schmitz-Maki Arena. A victory would send them to the semifinals at 8 p.m. Saturday at Rochester Rec Center, possibly against third-seeded Lakeville South.

If the Tigers beat their first two section opponents, they could meet up with No. 1 seed Lakeville North in the championship game. Lakeville North, the South Suburban Conference champion, spent time at No. 1 in the state Class AA rankings and last week had three players verbally commit to play Division I college hockey at St. Cloud State.

Farmington also goes into the playoffs as a conference champion. The Tigers won the Missota Conference for the first time in 38 years, clinching the title with a 5-3 victory over Shakopee on Feb. 13. They also will be the last Missota champion as the conference is disbanding after the 2013-14 school year.

Farmington will join the South Suburban Conference in the fall.

The Tigers finished the regular season 21-3-1 overall and 13-0-1 in the conference after beating Chaska 5-2 on Feb. 15.

Their tie in conference play was against New Prague in December, but Farmington beat New Prague 4-3 in the rematch Jan. 28. They have not lost since Dec. 17, when they fell 8-2 at Rosemount.

Junior forward Justin Novak was one of the metro area’s leading scorers in the regular season with 53 points, leading a Tigers offense that averaged 5.2 goals per game. Novak has 38 assists, including 13 on Tiger power plays.

Farmington’s offense is balanced to the point where seven players have 25 points or more this season, an average of at least one point per game. Against Chaska, five players – Landon Nielsen, Grady Hauswirth, Novak, Wyatt Jensen and Dallas Tucker – had one goal each.

In goal, Gage Overby has a 2.31 goals-against average and .890 save percentage. Nick Schoening has a 1.42 goalsagainst average and .919 save percentage.

Dodge County, Rochester Mayo, Owatonna and Rochester Century also are in the Section 1AA tournament, which Lakeville teams have dominated recently. Lakeville teams have won the section nine times since 2002, with Lakeville North taking it the last two years. The last non-Lakeville team to make it out of Section 1AA was Rochester Century in 2009.

Farmington has been to state in 1994 and 2000, playing in the Class A tourney both years. The Tigers were Class A consolation champions in 2000.

Tiger wrestling Farmington reached the semifinals of the Class 3A, Section 1 wrestling team tournament before losing to Owatonna 42-16 last Saturday at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. Hastings then defeated Owatonna 33-24 for the section championship.

The Tigers defeated Rochester John Marshall 60-12 on Feb. 13 to advance to the Section 1 semifinals in Rochester for the first time.

Next up is the Section 1 individual tournament beginning Friday at the Mayo Civic Center. Farmington’s state tournament hopefuls include Taylor Venz (the Class 3A champion at 106 pounds last season), Matt Rustad and Joe Hoeve.

Director of Communications Tony Taschner presented a legislative update of the 2013 session which provided E-12 education with an additional $485 million in funding for 2013-14 and next year.

He reported the 2014 session begins on February 25, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nonfunding session and the Governor has dubbed it the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsessionâ&#x20AC;? with a focus on eliminating unnecessary laws, rules and requirements. Other topics likely to be address include bullying prohibition, facility needs for full-day kindergarten, early learning and security, and expanded early learning and college-credit opportunities.

Taschner outlined the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative advocacy efforts and explained last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formation of the Legislative Advisory Council (LAC) to better involve and engage citizens. During the 2014 session the LAC will help develop and communicate legislative priorities, visit with local legislators and legislative leaders, and establish an advocacy e-network to communicate alerts.

Taschner shared possible legislative priorities for the 2014 session such as greater local funding authority to provide additional space for full-day kindergarten and expanded early learning programs; safety and security improvements to schools, and up-to-date learning technology. Also being considered are fewer mandates and reporting requirements. On behalf of the district, Senator Greg Clausen is sponsoring a bill on the authority to use lease levy funds to purchase a satellite transportation facility. He noted District 196 schools hosted Senator Franken this fall and will host a couple of Minnesota senate meetings the week of January 13.

The LAC is scheduled to present recommendations for the 2014 Legislative Platform at the February 10 School Board meeting.

Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon asked the board to approve the 2013-14 final budget (Exhibit E) that was presented in detail at the December 9 board meeting. He pointed out the budget document includes a great resource, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Budget Guide For Our Community.â&#x20AC;?

sessions to enroll next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindergarten students: 4:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at Akin Road Elementary; 2 and 6 p.m. Feb. 25 at Farmington Elementary; 2 and 5:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at Meadowview Elementary; 5:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at Riverview Elementary; 9 a.m. for A-M families, 1 p.m., N-Z families, and 5 p.m., for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend earlier sessions Feb. 27 at North Trail Elementary.

Originally, roundup sessions were set for January, but the district pushed back the dates to finish defining attendance areas and maximum school capacities so parents would know which schools to attend for roundup sessions, said

Laura Pierce, director of innovative programming.

Because of the influx of all-day kindergarten students, it was necessary for the district to reevaluate those attendance areas to balance out and provide room for the additional students.

The district wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know kindergarten enrollment numbers until after the roundups, but Colmark said estimates are that the district would need to hire six to nine additional kindergarten teachers for next year.

This year, the district offered the option of allday kindergarten for a fee, with a total of 192 students and their families opting for full days.

enrolled.

Pierce said families can still talk with their building principals about a half-day option if they are hesitant to enroll their students in all-day kindergarten, but most families are interested in the all-day option. The district will not be providing midday transportation for those opting for the half-day enrollment.

She added that the benefits of having students enrolled for a full day are numerous, including how they adjust to the routine of school, from getting snow clothes on for outside recess, to the process of school lunch.

Kindergarten teachers are fully aware of the transition these children will face, Pierce said, as they transition to a full

school day, and they will design the schedules around that, particularly at the beginning of the school year, when all students transition from their summer schedules to the routine of all day school again.

At meetings last fall, teachers spoke of the benefits of all-day kindergarten including closing achievement gaps and improving social skills. It will also provide for a less hurried academic setting.

Another benefit will be that a teacher will be able to focus on smaller classes, 22-24 students, allowing teachers to customize their education to a smaller group. With halfday kindergarten, teachers are responsible for more than 40 students.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE February 20, 2014

PARADE, from 1A participation.â&#x20AC;?

The move also aims to improve logistics as there have been some past traffic concerns because of the lack of parking.

There will be more parking available during the parade, since the City Hall and Central Park lot is expected to be open. It was closed during past parades because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were many of the rides and food booths were set up for Midsummer Faire.

Having the parade on a day when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a carnival and fireworks late into the night has meant long hours for committee members along with Rosemount police, public works and parks employees.

In previous years, many committee members and other volunteers were needed to help prepare, work and clean up after the parade, meaning an early morning start.

Since the Midsummer Faire also occurred on the same day with a carnival and live music, many committee members were required to be on task for nearly 18 or 20 hours straight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some of us who have been involved with this for many years,

LESLIE, from 1A Leslieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law enforcement career spans more than 30 years having worked in and with state and federal agencies, serving as an assistant commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, where he led and managed the divisions of the BCA, State Patrol, State Fire Marshall and Homeland Security and Emergency Management among others.

Leslie spent 20-plus years with the St. Paul Police Department. He worked his way from patrol and street crimes to SWAT commander and senior commander of the 5520 Part-time NEWSPAPER DELIVERY Do you have some spare time on Thurs/Friday?

and it was difficult for us to cover everything we needed to do and make it a great event for everyone,â&#x20AC;?

Wellman said.

It was also a difficult decision knowing the effect the parade will have on people who have made a tradition of watching the parade in the afternoon and coming back later to Central Park at night for the Midsummer Faire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know some people are going to be upset, and we respect their opinions, but we feel this will be better for all of Leprechaun Days,â&#x20AC;? Wellman said.

Since the final Leprechaun Days schedule will not be released until the end of June, it is possible other events will be slated on July 19 in Central Park or other locations.

Due to the change in the parade date, the Lightinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Up the Leprechaun postparade event at Lighthouse Community Church will also move to July 19.

At this time, other traditional second weekend events are expected to remain in place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Midsummer Faire, headliner musical acts and fireworks.

Rosemount Parks and Recreationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run for the Gold and Shamrock Sprint will continue to be on the first weekend before

the parade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year on July 19 in the morning at the Rosemount Community Center.

One other major schedule change is that the Bluegrass Americana Weekend has been moved from its traditional slot during the first weekend of Leprechaun Days to the last weekend in June, during the Rosemount Area Arts Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ArtBlast, which is being touted as a week of arts events June 23-28. More about ArtBlast events will be in a future edition.

Bathtub Races The past three years, Lighthouse Community Church has organized the Bathtub Races, but the event is looking for a new sponsor this year.

Lighthouse has pledged a mentor and all the equipment needed to help the community group that takes over the event.

Community groups interested in organizing the event should contact the Leprechaun Days Committee at leprechaundays@ gmail.com.

Eastern District. He handled multiple assignments including communications, K-9, narcotics and vice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had the opportunity to work closely with Tim Leslie since he became our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief deputy sheriff in 2010, and I can tell you that he has the experience and skills needed to be the next Dakota County sheriff,â&#x20AC;?

Thisweekend Celtic folk-rock band in Lakeville

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Deer,â&#x20AC;? one of 13 images featured in Courtney Reintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Skinâ&#x20AC;? exhibit, was photographed at Taxidermy Unlimited in Burnsville. (Photo submitted)

The art of mounted animals Local photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Moving Skinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhibit focuses on taxidermy

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For her new photo exhibit, Courtney Reints turned her artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaze on stuffed animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about teddy bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Skin,â&#x20AC;? which opened Feb. 15 at CO Exhibitions in Minneapolis, marks the first solo gallery show for Reints, a 2009 graduate of Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Environmental Studies who went on to major in photography at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

The exhibit, and its focus on taxidermy, grew out of a college project around the theme of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the expressive body.â&#x20AC;? While many of the other students focused on people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and especially dancers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as their subject matter, Reints found inspiration in mounted bucks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of my family is from South Dakota, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I grew up around â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we have a lot of hunters in our family,â&#x20AC;? said Reints, 22, who photographed the 13 images featured in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Skinâ&#x20AC;? at sites throughout Minnesota, including a particularly fruitful photo shoot at Taxidermy Unlimited in Burnsville.

No appointment was necessary, she recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just walked in to Taxidermy Unlimited and asked if I could photograph,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owner Marv (Gaston) was a great guy to talk to, and he let me photograph throughout the building.â&#x20AC;?

Courtney Reints Reints, who works as a production manager at The Lab digital printing studio in Minneapolis, produced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Skinâ&#x20AC;? with an artist initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.

She brought an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, and a philosophical bent, to the taxidermied animals that served as her subjects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seized during natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s docile moments, taxidermy can resurrect an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form as a symbol of achievement, the ultimate document of a huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortune,â&#x20AC;? she said in an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement posted on the CO Exhi-

bitions website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An authentic record of antler, feather and flesh. These inert fragments reveal the evocatively raw and elegantly beautiful nature of nature.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Skinâ&#x20AC;? runs through March 7 at CO Exhibitions located at 1101 Stinson Blvd. in northeast Minneapolis.

Admission is free, and all the photos are available for purchase. More about the exhibit is at burlesquedesign.com/temp/ coexhibitions.
