It started out like any visit to a food shelf. A hungry boy and his mother stopped by and were helped by volunteers at 360 Communities’ Rosemount Family Resource Center. Volunteers asked the family what kinds of meat they ate and said they could select six packages of meat. But when a volunteer opened the freezer door, the boy burst into tears. His family hadn’t had meat in two weeks. It’s moments like these that make the work so rewarding, according to Photo by Jody Peters Family Resource Center During the month of March, 360 Communities is aiming to collect $100,000 and Director Natalie Schmid50,000 pounds of food. Donations can be dropped off year-round at food shelves like gall. the Farmington Food Shelf (above). “He just couldn’t be-

“Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.� That quote was written by the poet Robert Burns, but it’s a sentiment that former FBI agent Daniel Craft can identify with. Craft spent the entirety of this 31 years with the FBI working violent crimes, including serial murders, kidnappings and crimes against children. He was a profiler and a crisis negotiator who negotiated with terrorists overseas, and he was also a case agent on the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer case. Some of the things he’s had to witness disturb Craft to this day. “It still bothers me. I worked 28 murders of children and

‘So much more than a running group’ Moms on the Run inspires local women to reach fitness goals by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Deep in the woods of Wisconsin, at 3 in the morning, Erin Edlund was running. It was something she never would have pictured herself doing 10 years ago, but last fall, Edlund and seven other women ran a 24-hour race called Ragnar Trail Northwoods. The day was “unbelievably hot,� with a heat index of over 100 degrees, and the trail was difficult, but the experience was all worth it for Edlund. “It was a tough run for all of us. But we were also all in it together, and we had so much fun, and that is an experience that I will never forget. And because of that, I am now eternally bonded to those seven women that I ran with,� Edlund said. Edlund’s running journey started thanks to a group called Moms on the Run. The group is

statewide, and Edlund first joined the Apple Valley-Rosemount chapter in 2011. After her family moved to Farmington about three years ago, she joined the Farmington chapter and hasn’t looked back since. It’s a year-round group, but the bulk of its runners participate in the 18-week program that runs from April to August, according to Farmington franchise owner Amanda Fernalius. The group accepts runners of all fitness levels, and depending on someone’s experience and goals, they’re typically matched with one of three groups: a fitness locker group, a learn to run group or an accelerated runner group. Typically the Farmington group meets three days a week, and while some have their sights set on running a marathon, some just want some “me time� from being a busy parent. Edlund said she joined after having her first child.

Erin Edlund and seven other women from Moms on the Run ran a 24-hour race last fall. Edlund said the group has helped her reach goals that she doesn’t think she ever would have achieved otherwise. She was also a busy professional and most of her friends had not yet had children, so she figured she could pick up a healthy hobby while also meeting other moms. “(I) just wanted something that was exclusively

for me. Something that was healthy for me and that could get me out of the house, and that could give me a bit of stress relief,� Edlund said. Soon after joining, Edlund found that there was “no judgment and it was

just fun.� She described it as a positive experience that she might not have gotten if she joined a running group at an athletic club. “I started going and fell See MOMS RUN, 8A

lieve that he didn’t have to pay for it. He was like, ‘Mom, we get to take what we want?’ � Schmidgall said. Those types of experiences stick with the families who access the food shelves, Schmidgall said. A lot of families come back to 360 Communities and volunteer once they’re self-sufficient, bringing the service full-circle, she said. One family that gave back had to use 360 Communities’ services for several years. When the family’s 8-year-old child had a birthday party, he said that he didn’t want presents. Instead, he wanted to collect food for the food shelf.

Minnesota Energy Resource recently cut the ribbon on its new headquarters in Rosemount. by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota Energy Resources recently opened the doors on its new 23,000-square-foot headquarters in Rosemount. Built right next to its old headquarters, Minnesota Energy Resources had outgrown the old building at 2665 145th St. W. So much so that more than three years ago, the company began renting out office space in Eagan for some of its employees. “The goal all along was to come back into a new building and bring everybody back,� said Jeff Larson, external relations manager. “It’s a nice, spacious building with lots of light. Nice high ceilings. It has a nice open feeling.� The new building has more meeting space “which is great because there’s a lot of required

training for technical staff,� Larson said. “The warehouse is better configured and more efficient than the old one. The building overall is a lot more energy efficient. We have high-efficiency boilers and all LED lighting. They use about 10 percent of electricity than the old ones.� It’s the state headquarters for Minnesota Energy Resources that houses many employees, including meter readers and technical staff. “It’s a great central area,� Larson said. “It’s pretty quick to get to Eagan, Farmington and Lakeville. We handle Cannon Falls. ... We can get out in our area pretty quick from this building.� Minnesota Energy Resources delivers natural gas to 232,000 customers in 184 communities across Minnesota. “We’re in natural gas

distribution,� Larson said. “We’re the one who brings gas to the end user, whether it’s residential, commercial or industrial. We touch every border in Minnesota from Iowa to Canada and all points in between.� The old building will eventually be torn down, Larson said, but not before the Rosemount Fire Department takes a few more swings at it. Larson said the former headquarters was the site for forced-entry training for the Rosemount Fire Department recently. “It was really good for them because it has solid wood doors with metal frames,� Larson said. “But sometime soon it will be torn down and turned into parking.� Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Jane Berenz Mary Kreger “Jane has led this district as superintendent for the past nine years with passion, dedication and heart,� said School Board Chairperson Jackie Magnuson. “She’s provided passion for learning for all students, dedication to providing our families with excellent educational opportunities for their children, and the heart to do it all with great compassion and care.� Magnuson credited Berenz with guiding the district through difficult financial times when she took over as superintendent in 2009 at the start of the national recession. She led a successful levy referendum in 2013 that provided funding needed to stem three consecutive years of staffing and program cuts, and a successful bond referendum in 2015 that has led to improved security at all district schools, additional space for learning and increased student access to technology tools that support learning. Magnuson said it is Berenz’s commitment to giving teachers the tools – and training – they need to provide quality instruction that has positioned the district for continued success after she leaves. “District 196 will continue on a great path because of the leadership Jane has provided and the systems she has put in place to ensure continuous improvement,� Magnuson said. Berenz will continue to serve as superintendent until her retirement on June 30, 2018. At this point in the year, Magnuson said the district will not have the time needed to conduct a full search process with community involvement to hire a permanent replacement by July 1. The School Board appointed Special Education Director Mary Kreger to serve as interim superintendent for the 2018-19 school year at its March 12

meeting. Berenz will work sideby-side with Kreger over the next months to ensure a smooth transition. The board will conduct a comprehensive search process during the next school year to hire a permanent replacement who will take over on July 1, 2019. Kreger has been the district’s director of special education and a member of the superintendent’s cabinet since 2005. She supervises six coordinators who oversee approximately 900 teachers, paraprofessionals and other special education staff who serve more than 4,200 students receiving special education services in the district’s 35 schools and learning centers. Prior to coming to District 196, Kreger worked for South Washington County Schools for 13 years as a special education teacher, coordinator and supervisor. She started her career as a substitute teacher, working in Minneapolis, Lakeville and District 196. “I love this district,� Kreger said in her comments to the board. “My three kids went through here, so I personally know what a difference being educated in District 196 makes for their lives. “I am so grateful to have been with such a wonderful superintendent for these last nine years who I’ve been able to learn from. Superintendent Berenz has left us with a culture of continuous improvement that is going to launch us into the future. We have the systems, we have the supports in place in this district and most importantly, we have the people. I am absolutely humbled and honored to serve as interim superintendent and I am confident we will continue to do great things for all of our kids.� Kreger has a master’s degree in special education and a specialist degree in education administration from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and earned her superintendent licensure from Minnesota State in 2013. She currently serves on the Minnesota Special Education Advisory Panel as an appointee of the Minnesota Department of Education.

District 196 Superintendent Jane K. Berenz announced March 8 that she will retire at the end of this school year after leading the state’s fourth largest school district for the past nine years. “This was not an easy decision,� Berenz said. “District 196 has been a big part of my life ever since my days as a student here. My four children also attended District 196 schools and I have had the pleasure of working for this great district for the past 31 years. I still love what I do and the people I work with, and will miss them dearly, but I am at ease in knowing this is the right decision for me and my family at this time.� Berenz attended kindergarten at Rosemount Elementary School after her parents, Bob and Ardelle Vander Aarde, relocated to Rosemount from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to raise their family of eight children and start the Robert’s Drug Store chain. After graduating from Apple Valley High School, Berenz attended the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education. She taught in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the first five years of her career before returning to District 196 in 1987 to teach special education at Apple Valley High and Echo Park Elementary School. “I left District 196 well prepared to pursue my dream of becoming an educator,� Berenz said. “I returned to give back to the district that gave me the opportunities to grow as a student and the self-confidence to make a difference in people’s lives.� Berenz took her first administrative position in the district in 1995, when she was hired to be principal at Parkview Elementary School. In 1998, she was promoted to principal on special assignment at the District Office and two years later was named director of Elementary Education. In 2004, Berenz was hired to lead the district’s Teaching and Learning Department and five years later was selected by the School Board to become superintendent.

Opinion

In Minnesota, helping students plan for future is a law by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota state legislators have given students and families an important opportunity and responsibility: A state law requires that, beginning in 2013-14 and starting in the ninth grade, educators help students develop a post-high-school plan that is “reviewed and revised at least annually by the student, the student’s parent or guardian.” Unfortunately, some students report they are not doing this. Some parents have told me they didn’t know about the law. Families may identify special talents or interests children have that educators have not yet discovered. Families also may have community contacts that can help their own and other’s children develop plans. Award-winning author Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” My goal today is to inform and encourage, not criticize. Planning and then making decisions about life after high school are some of the most important decisions that students make. To help refine its program, St. Paul Public Schools wisely surveys graduating seniors. I encourage each school to do this. Among other things, SPPS asked its 2017 seniors, “Did you develop a career or post-secondary education plan while in high school?” Only 45 percent said “yes.” The percentage responding “yes” varied from 29 percent at one district school to 97 percent at another. In early March, I asked 35 Minnesota suburban and rural school districts and charter public schools whether they followed this law and whether they surveyed seniors to ask if they had created such a plan. All 23 that responded report they are following the law. Most are not surveying seniors. Several agreed that that parent involvement in planning is, as Julia Espe, Princeton superintendent, wrote, “an

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan area upon which we can improve.” Cambridge Superintendent Raymond Queener told me, “Parent sign-off occurs annually (minimally) with registration.” Braham Superintendent Ken Gagner believes that “we definitely have room to grow” with family involvement in the process. Bloomington Superintendent Les Fujitake pointed out that developing a plan is a graduation requirement for students, but “parent sign-off is not a requirement.” Jana Hennen-Burr, ISD 728 (Elk River area) assistant superintendent, explained, “At this time, we do not require parents to review the plan, but this is a next step in our process.” To help, the Minnesota Department of Education has compiled a vast array of information that families and schools can use to help students develop plans. Information is here: http://bit. ly/2Fo6It7. Planning helps make whatever a student wants to do much more likely to happen. Students who want to consider joining the military can make part of their personal plan learning what the various branches seek. Students who want a particular job can develop the skills or knowledge to prepare them for it. The 23 districts and charters that responded to my questions use different approaches. Some require a plan for graduation. Some imbed planning in classes, while others make student plans a central part of counselors’ jobs. Here’s part of what some of them reported. Ruth Dunn, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage communications director, wrote: “All our students use Naviance (computer program) to complete their career

and college planning. Families have access to Naviance too. Plans are reviewed with counselors. “School counselors take the lead on career and college planning. School counselors go into classrooms to present and support students with this as part of work with students (grades 6-12). “All ninth-grade students take a required semester-long course as they begin their four years at Burnsville High School. It’s called Success 191 and it helps students identify likes/dislikes, investigate various careers, align interests to courses offered in pathways at the high school, and learn about college and career requirements and options.” Dunn listed many activities to help students “explore their interests and future careers right at their school and not have to travel elsewhere (which can be a barrier).” Stephanie Kass, director of communications and public relations for Lakeville Area Public Schools, wrote: “In order to graduate, all seniors (100 percent) are expected to complete the required plan. School administration sends a notification to families, which encourages the parent or guardian to review the plans individually, at home with their student. “Overall, students create their personal learning plans/career portfolios through the Minnesota Career Information System (MCIS). Every graduate must have the required components which include attending the career seminar, job shadow, senior interview, and participation in Opportunities Day activities. Deans visit with groups of students assigned alphabetically throughout the years. Lakeville South and Lakeville North hold Opportunities Day, which is an all-day event dedicated to postsecondary awareness and planning.” Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan director of secondary education Mark Parr responded: “Our high school counselors facilitate a process using a web-based service

designed for students and parents that can help in making decisions about high school courses, colleges and careers. It is entitled ‘Family Connection’ and is linked with their child’s counselor’s office. The counselors use the data to track and analyze data about college and career plans. “District 196 has developed a personal learning plan with specific milestones for each grade level. This plan is entitled ‘My Plan.’ It helps students to articulate academic and personal goals and craft learning experiences that reflect their individual strengths and interests and helps prepare them for post high school. Students work collaboratively with counselors, teachers and parents to develop their plans. Students revise and update their plans annually. Some of the plan elements include: Course Planner, Career Interest Finder, Strengths Explorer, Needs Assessment Tool, Colleges/Careers I am thinking about, Colleges I am applying to, Junior Reality Check (and) College Application Process. “All students and parents are involved in this process. We have data that can be tracked for each student as to their completion of each component.” Most families ask high school students what they’d like to do after high school. But success requires more than a conversation. Olympic gold medal winner Mia Hamm said, “The backbone of success is … hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.” While most of us won’t win a gold medal, families and educators can help students explore, select, work toward and, in many cases, achieve their goals.

School safety always evolving to get better by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Police chiefs in Minnesota are closely involved with their school administrators when it comes to keeping schools safe. Plymouth Police Chief Mike Goldstein, president of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, said he is confident his members are always upgrading and coordinating their plans to keep students safe. The question of police involvement in local schools has arisen since the Feb. 14 shooting of 17 students and staff at a high school in Parkland, Florida. Broward County Public School Superintendent Robert Runcie has told reporters that two police cars typically were on the campus at the high school on a daily basis. One deputy, however, did not enter the school on the day of the shooting because he said he believed the shots were coming from outside the school. At schools in Plymouth, Minnesota, there are two armed officers at each high

Don Heinzman school and one at the middle schools. Officers in the DARE program are involved in the elementary schools. In Bloomington’s school district there is one armed officer in each of the two high schools and one for the three middle schools. Anoka-Hennepin, which is the largest school district in Minnesota, has 13 police-liaison officers assigned to the five senior high schools, six middle schools, River Trails Learning Center and a regional alternative school. Jim Skelly, the director of communications for Anoka-Hennepin, said the district actually has an emergency management school safety coordinator who meets monthly with law enforcement

agencies to go over the latest strategies. Independent School District 728, serving the communities of Elk River, Zimmerman, Otsego and Rogers, has three high schools. The Elk River Police Department has three juvenile detectives assigned to the high schools and middle school. Two officers are assigned to the Rogers schools, and in Zimmerman a deputy is assigned from the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office. As for a situation when there are shots heard within a school, officers are trained to enter the school immediately, locate and neutralize any threat that could end with a killing, said Bloomington Police Deputy Chief Mike Hartley. In Hennepin County, every law enforcement agency follows that same plan, except for Minneapolis, which has its own protocol, Goldstein said. “I am proud of our relationship with the school officials. And we are not different than other communities,” Goldstein said. “We have good plans in place, we share resources, and there is not a time

when we are not engaged locally,” he said. Goldstein said his officers work closely with school officials in determining whether a student could be a threat. “This has happened more than once,” said Goldstein. Officers have access to the latest training through the Minnesota School Safety Center, county sheriffs and networking with other police chiefs, Goldstein said. For now the police association does not have plans to develop a one-size-fitsall school safety game plan for its members because chiefs have access to other resources to improve their safety plans. The association does favor more funding for school safety, a “hardening of the target” and enhanced security measures. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Climate change and choices To the editor: If you had an extra $20 a month to spend on the most important thing in the world, what would it be? If you’re religious, you might donate it to your church. Or maybe you would donate money to solve hunger, after all, Venezuelans are literally eating rats to stay alive. You could help rescue women and children who are trapped in human trafficking which is growing around the world or you

could invest in poor neighborhoods to survive. Considering all the needs, where do environmental and climate change issues fit on the list of priorities? Assuming all the data is correct, any actual efforts to reduce carbon emissions would be almost negligible over a period of hundreds of years. (Keep in mind, that there are “climate scientists” that could teach math with Bernie Madoff and look credible.) OK, so you give your $20 to save the world (for the future) and let the gov-

ernment spend it for you. But what about — the now? Don’t we all have an obligation to spend money wisely, to help the most people and do the most good? Don’t we have an obligation to make sure we aren’t being scammed by con-man science? OK, I’m a skeptic with all the “scientific models” but I’m also sad that we are wasting time, effort, money on an unprovable, hypothetical set of “facts” about the future of the world. History shows that science has been used before as a weapon of choice. In

Trumping power on tariffs To the editor: While I understand President Donald Trump’s reasons for the tariffs on steel and aluminum, I must say that he really does not have the power or authority to impose such tariffs. Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 gives Congress the power to regulate foreign commerce. Article I, Section 8, Clause l1 gives Congress the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises.” Nowhere in the Constitution will one find the power to impose tariffs given to the president, not even in Article II. That is a power reserved to Congress only. Congress should point this out to the president and

not allow him to impose tariffs. Congress should not allow the president to usurp its power. It’s not that I’m against tariffs. They may be necessary and in fact our government was mainly funded with tariffs at one time. If the president wants to impose tariffs, he needs to make his case to Congress and Congress can do their duty in accordance with Article I, Section 8. MEL HENSCHEL Apple Valley

Lewis’ bill promotes technical education

cation to solve mankind’s inexorable problems and to create virtuous character seems largely lost. And graduates and dropouts who seek a meaningful purpose and career their frustrations are mostly ignored. I am delighted to note that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, 2nd District, has now introduced legislation that will be most beneficial to those not best suited for a traditional college education. Promoting technical vocational training in areas in which employers are seeking skilled workers, creates incentives so that many millennials can pursue the American dream. This will be a tremendous aid helping American industry compete on a global basis. Lewis’ initiative is a laudatory undertaking, and all citizens would do well to urge lawmakers to make this seminal undertaking become a reality.

360 Communities’ Rosemount Family Resource Center is in the process of transitioning to a choice model food shelf. This means that people can come in and choose what food items they need, much like they would in a grocery store. Director Natalie Schmidgall says that choice model food shelves are a way for families to get the food they need in a more dignified way. ahead. Typically, there aren’t as many donations in the summer due to a number of factors, Compton said: people are gone on vacations, children are out of school and so on. “We need food yearround, we need to raise money year-round, but when we can bolster our food shelves and bolster our purchasing power by having some funds, it gets us ready for those summer months when times are a

little leaner for donations,� Compton said. The most needed items at the food shelves are canned fish and meat; cooking and baking items; peanut butter; rice, pasta and cereal items and canned fruits and vegetables. Hygiene items are also in high demand, Schmidgall said. These include things like dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper and diapers.

To participate in the Minnesota Foodshare Campaign, people can drop off donations, organize their own food drives or sign up for the “pie in the face challenge.� For the challenge, people can nominate individuals, like a principal or their boss, to take a pie in the face. They put up posters of the nominees and set up donation boxes under the posters. Whoever gets the most food in their box gets a whipped cream pie in the face. “It’s a really good way to encourage participation and for people to do something for a really good cause and have a little bit of fun with it,� Schmidgall said. But the focus is on more than just food at 360 Communities, Schmidgall said. “Food is what we can provide to them immediately, but we’re really trying to see what else they’re needing and how else we can help them succeed,� Schmidgall said. In the past, the Rosemount food shelf used to be an emergency-based food program, where peo-

ple would get an emergency bag to tide them over for a few days. Now, the food shelf is focused on building relationships and connecting people to additional resources. “(We’ll ask them) ‘We know you need food, but what else brings you here today?’ And we know that the more we can build a relationship and the more they trust us, the more that they’re willing to know that they can ask those questions and we can give them those resources,� Schmidgall said. Even though people could use Google to find a resource, Schmidgall said that people are more likely to follow through if a person is physically handing them an application or telling them to ask for a certain person once they get to a resource center. “We’re trying to give them as much resources as we can when they’re here, because we know when they leave, they might not have another opportunity to ask those questions, and our whole goal is to See 360, 7A

A closer look at how the new tax reforms could impact seniors and retirees BY CECILIA BROWN CTW FEATURES

For an overwhelming majority of American seniors, the recent changes to the U.S. tax code should be good news. Still, taxes are a complicated topic, which means that for many retirees, the uncertainty surrounding the Tax Cuts and Job Act has increased their worry about how the changes will impact them this year. To avoid any unnecessary financial surprises, seniors should begin thinking about how the new bill will affect them as they look at their 2017 return. They can take action to be more prepared and understand their return by setting up a time to review their 2017 return with a CPA to project what next year’s will look like. There are still seven tax brackets, which now are set at 10 percent, 12 percent, 22 percent, 24 percent, 32 percent, 35 percent and 37 percent of your income (the old rates were 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, 28 percent, 33 percent, 35 percent and 39.6 percent). No changes were made to how much will be deducted for Social Security and Medicare. According to experts, seniors and retirees should be reassured that for most people, this bill means positive changes in several ways. The new tax plan maintains the extra standard deduction for those who are 65 and older – an additional $1,300 deduction. According to the IRS website, “In general, the standard deduction is adjusted each year for inflation and varies according to your filing status, whether you’re 65 or older and/or blind, and whether another taxpayer can claim you as a dependent. The standard deduction isn’t available to certain taxpayers. You can’t take the standard deduction if you itemize your deductions.� According to Leon LaBrecque, head of the

Michigan Association of CPAs Special Task Force on Tax Reform, in Troy, Michigan, “Many seniors will benefit from the increased standard [deduction]. The additional deduction for seniors and blind [people] is retained, so seniors get larger standard deduction.â€? This means that two married taxpayers who are both over 65 can reduce their taxable income by an extra $2,600. For the next two years, all taxpayers can write off medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of their income – in the 2019 tax year it is set to revert back to 10 percent. “Seniors who do itemize [deductions] will see a lower floor on medical deductions, which helps if they have long-term care expenses. Overall, most seniors should be better,â€? LaBrecque says. With the new tax act, charitable donations are still deductible. However, donations made by IRA owners over the age of 70 1/2 will come directly off of their gross income. Seniors can now contribute to a 529 plan – a taxlessening plan designed to encourage saving for future college costs – for their grandchildren to be

used not only for college but also for K-12, including private or religious schools. There is no immediate benefit to the donor, but the income is all tax-free, so the new law allows up to $10,000 a year to be withdrawn tax-free. Some states even allow income tax deductions for money contributed to the plan.

“Many of my clients like to contribute to their grandchildren’s education and this is expanded,� LeBrecque says. With the new tax reform, “there will be winners and losers and the only way to know for sure (and see the tax bracket level) is to ‘run the numbers’ using tax software and a good tax-planning CPA,� says Scott Bishop, a member of the Financial Planning Association in Houston, Texas. “Don’t let fear, anger or incorrect information lead you to believe that you will be worse off, know the law and plan appropriately,� Bishop says.

360, from 6A empower them and to make it so that they are self-sufficient, and eventually they wouldn’t need to access the food shelf because they’d have the tools that they need to succeed,” Schmidgall said.

Choice model In the next couple of months, the Rosemount Family Resource Center will convert to a choice model food shelf. Right now, the shelter is split: dry goods are prepacked, and families can shop in the fridges and freezers. They can select fruits, vegetables, dairy, deli and meat. Bread and other baked goods are also available. The center’s long-term

CRIMINAL MIND, from 1A you. It affects you,” Craft said. To solve these types of cases, Craft had to get inside the mind of a criminal. With over three decades of experience, he’s learned how and why criminals commit crimes. “All behavior is purposeful. It’s not random. It’s a result of the way you think. So (if) you learn how a criminal thinks, it makes you a better investigator. You narrow down your suspect pool,” Craft said. Some might think a criminal’s motives are pretty straightforward:

goal is to triple its size through an expansion plan, but the short-term plan is to transition to a full choice, grocery storestyle setup by the end of the summer. People can come once a month for a food shelf appointment, but they can come to the “help yourself ” area as many times as they want. The Rosemount center serves about 230 households a month for food appointments, but about 500-600 individuals come in again for the “help yourself ” food. That choice model takes a different approach to the work that 360 Communities is doing, Schmidgall said. “With handing somebody a bag of food and hoping that that’s what

they want, although we have really good meaning behind the work that we’re doing, we don’t know what their family likes, what they don’t like, what food allergies they have, if they know how to prepare it,” Schmidgall said. Other food shelves, like the ones in Lakeville, Apple Valley and Burnsville, have had feedback from families that they’re able to pick what they know how to prepare. If they’re a different culture, they can pick “ethnic foods that their family knows what it looks like and what it tastes like,” Schmidgall said. They can also make a choice. If they want fresh potatoes instead of instant potatoes, they can make that choice. Or if a fam-

ily is homeless and living in their car, they might be limited on what foods they can take. “They might not want to tell us these things if we haven’t built that relationship, but they can go through and pick the exact things that they’re wanting and … (it’s) not we’re making the choice for them. So it’s a more humbled experience, it’s a more dignified and respectful approach,” Schmidgall said. As other food shelves have moved to the choice model, Schmidgall said she’s gotten feedback that they’ve lowered costs. “Right now, we might be giving every single person a box of pancake mix and syrup. Well when they went to the choice model, not everybody needs pan-

cake mix and syrup every month. Their budget changed, so it allowed them to spend more dollars on healthier food options,” Schmidgall said. Last year, 9,910 people were served by 360 Communities’ network of five food shelves, and the network had a total of 44,600 visits, Compton said. With so many people to serve, the food shelves rely on donations. The Rosemount site in particular is a unique one, according to Compton. “Every time I go there, it reminds me of how I think of 360 Communities. It’s set in a neighborhood park … and so it’s a real community thing. It’s a welcoming place where families, volunteers, and staff come together. It’s a

maybe they want money or notoriety. But according to Craft, many violent crimes boil down to two drives: sex and aggression, although these motivators may not be obvious at first glance. “Those are the basic instinctual drives, but you don’t always see it in the purest form. Rape is investigated as a sex crime, but it rarely has anything to do with sex. It has to do with power, control, humiliation, domination,” Craft said. The same goes for criminals like bank robbers, Craft said. In his experience, he’s dealt with robbers who didn’t even need the money, but just want-

ed to commit the crime for the thrill or the sensation of having control over others. During his presentation, Craft said he will show the audience how to look at a crime scene — not just by looking at physical evidence like DNA and fingerprints, but from looking at what he calls the “psychological fingerprint” of a crime scene. “Certain evidence doesn’t lend (itself) to be collected. How do you collect rage? How do you collect remorse?” Craft asked. “You see the gore and you see blood, and you see the victim and this

and that, but what does it mean? Biters — I’ve had cases where they bite the victim. Why? When I talk about anger, I show them what anger looks like, I show them what rage looks like, show them what remorse looks like based on the crime scene.” Craft said he will teach people how to recognize those underlying emotions present at a crime scene. He will also talk about the seven common characteristics of all serial murderers and sadists, the four phases of a murder, victimology, different personality types and more. His presentation will feature some photographs, because it is key to un-

derstanding a criminal’s mindset, Craft said. However, due to the graphic nature of some of the photos, he always warns people beforehand. “In order to understand a lot of this stuff, you’ve got to see their handiwork, and then it makes sense. Not to you and I, but you can at least put it in a perspective. I like them to know ahead of time that some of the pictures are going to be graphic, disturbing. But people have seen worse in movies and television. The only problem with this is these are real — real cases, real people,” Craft said. Ultimately, Craft said he wants his presentation

to be informative and entertaining. He said that the entertainment element is important because of the heavy nature of some of the cases he’ll go over. “You know, you’ve got to laugh. If you don’t laugh, then you’d end up crying over some of this stuff, so you’ve got to make it entertaining,” Craft said.

Home care services allow seniors to remain in their own homes By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Chester Pendroy of Bloomington, a 98-yearold paraplegic, has lived alone since his wife died 25 years ago. Although he has two children in the Twin Cities area, he says he counts on angels to get him through the day. That would be Visiting Angels of Burnsville, a provider of non-medical home care services for seniors and disabled adults. “They’re a good outfit,” said Pendroy, who receives assistance twice a day: from 9 a.m. to noon and again from 5 to 8 p.m. Mark Aspenson, executive director of Visiting Angels in Burnsville, said the agency primarily provides physical assistance

with personal cares, such as bathing and toileting, or memory care for people who are unable to drive, forget to take their medications, or need help with how to do things. “We provide services to make life easier,” Aspenson said, adding that each client’s services are tailored to the needs of the senior and his or her family. Visiting Angels seeks to develop an individualized program for each of its clients by creating a plan, based on speaking with family members, physicians, social workers, and nursing home staff as necessary. The agency then selects a home care services professional it believes would be a good match for the client. The agency also is able to help locate and arrange assistance with medical, fi-

Visiting Angels of Burnsville provides non-medical home care services for seniors and disabled adults. nancial, legal, home maintenance and transportation needs. Professionals may run errands, prepare meals, do light housekeeping, and provide companionship. We have approximately

80 caregivers,” Aspenson said. “We hire experienced caregivers [average 6.5 years of experience] as well as do an all-day competency training and skills testing to make sure they are able to provide great care

and keep our clients safe.” One of the agency’s caregivers is Jane Lasko of Lakeville, a certified nursing assistant, who has been working in the caregiving field since she moved to Minnesota from Iowa in 1999. She joined Visiting Angels in 2009, switched to memory care at Highview Hills retirement community in Lakeville, and came back to Visiting Angels in 2013. She has a couple of regular clients. One, a woman with stage 4 Alzheimer’s, requires Lasko’s help during an eight-hour shift. The other, a male who has been a longtime paraplegic confined to a wheelchair, requires her help for a three-hour shift. “I do everything – whatever they need help with,” Lasko said. “I love it. I always had a love for seniors

when I was raising my five children. I volunteer at church visiting shut-ins. I have always had a caretaking instinct. I really love end-of-life care. It’s a real privilege to be there at the end of life, to give the family comfort and make the client comfortable.” When her mother became ill, Lasko said, she took a month off work to care for her. “My whole goal is to make sure that people who want to stay in their home get to do that,” Lasko said. “It’s really important to people in later years to be comfortable in their own home.” Home care services from Visiting Angels Burnsville are available up to 24 hours a day on a long-term, holidays, weekends, or temporary basis. The cost ranges from $30 to $35 per hour.

Cooperatives offer one lifestyle; caring for aging parents at home is another By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Judi and Randy Johnson have lived at Gramercy Park Cooperative at Lake Shore Drive in Richfield since the 12-story, 160-unit building was constructed in 2000. “We bought when it was still a hole in the ground,” Judi said. “We knew nothing about the area. We had lived in Columbia Heights.” But she knew that her nursing job then was going to take her to Japan for three months at a time for the next three to five years. The idea that they

wouldn’t have to worry about having someone check their mail and watch their house in their absence sounded good. “We saw something about this building in the newspaper,” Judi said. “Three months is a long time to be away. This sounded ideal. It’s been great. We haven’t regretted it for a minute.” The Johnsons opted for a three-bedroom unit because with both of them working at computers, one bedroom could become an office. Both have become involved with committees at the cooperative. Judi, a nurse, works on health and wellness. Randy has

helped with buildings and grounds, technology, and finance. “It’s surprising how involved people are,” Judi said. “Ninety percent of the residents come to the annual meeting.” The cooperative, managed by Ebenezer, is located across the street from the Wood Lake Nature Center. Inside the building, residents enjoy amenities that include a fitness room, library/media center, courtesy van, store, woodshop, home health care services available on-site, and an attached restaurant for payas-you-go meals. As their work activities have become lighter, the

Johnsons have more time to visit their two sons, one in Boston and the other in Chicago, and see their 1-year-old grandson. Judi, the founder of the “I Can Cope” program at North Memorial Medical Center, has lived for the last 30 years with the effects of a stroke that has affected the right side of her body. With the help of her husband, she still works, is able to hike, and enjoys trips to a summer cabin and Arizona. “I enjoy life,” Judi said. “That’s what counts.”

Cooperatives and intergenerational housing suit senior lifestyles COOP - PREV PAGE legal and accounting expertise is needed. An on-site staff supervises and performs all repairs, maintenance, and upkeep for members. Each month, member/shareholders pay an amount (monthly carrying fees) that covers operating expenses. These include the mortgage payment and the property taxes. Mortgage interest and property taxes represent about 60 percent of the monthly charge and are deductible on the resident’s income taxes. Monthly charges increase only when the board of directors determines that taxes or operating costs justify an increase. Monthly fees also include heated parking, heat, cable, full-size inhome washer and dryer, and sewer/water/trash. Caring for aging parents in your own home Terry Eggan, a Realtor who lives in Eden Prairie, has embarked on a new venture. He has developed a 45-minute presentation he gives to area church groups, senior citizen gatherings and conferences about his

experience with caring for his elderly parents in his home for 16 years. He and his wife, Nan Vest, built a new home in 1998 and added an apartment for Terry’s parents, Willard and Beulah. “We thought it would be a place for them to live with security,� Terry said. “We had no idea what we were heading for.� “For the first five years, it was like Camelot,� Terry said. “It was just wonderful. My parents were still doing very well. They still had their own lives and could do everything they wanted to do. Mom even cooked for us sometimes. But we respected each other’s boundaries.� As his parents aged and developed health problems, some home services were employed to fill in when needed. Nancy, a social worker with a background in home health care, helped with Beulah and Willard, as did a granddaughter who moved into the Eggans’ home to assist with the duties. Beulah died in 2013 at the age of 92, Willard in 2014 at the age of 93, both in hospice care, but still at home. “When they turned 90, they said they

He and his father, a longtime Eden Prairie home builder, had not been close, despite Terry’s growing up learning the home-building business at his dad’s side on construction sites. They became close as the end of life neared. “We said ‘I love you’ as often as we could,� Terry said. “We never would have had that otherwise.� He and Nan still would do the same thing again, Terry said. “There were so many things we got to

in many situations,� Terry said. “I know that each housing option, including staying at home, has some pros and cons that should be considered if making a change. Between my own experience with my parents, and the work I do, I have a lot of insight to share.� He advises people who have lived in their own homes for many years to start getting rid of things and planning a move while they’re still healthy. “If you wait until something happens, it’s emotional; it’s traumatic,� Terry said. For information on Terry Eggan’s free presentation, call Terry at 612386-9309 (teggan@earthlink.net), or Nan Vest at 612-272-9501 (nanvest@ earthlink.net).

We all know that chemical dependency (alcohol and drug addiction) is a serious, sobering problem among teens and adults. What we don’t all know is that it’s also a serious concern among seniors. Grandmas and grandpas can become addicted just like people in other age groups. The incidence of substance abuse and dependency is about the same for those over 60 as it is for younger generations. Late-onset addiction is common. In fact, 70-year-old widowers are now the fastest

growing age group of alcoholics in the nation. In addition, 70% of older adults who are hospitalized, for whatever reason, also have some problem with alcohol or drugs. This is what we know. What we don’t know may be much worse, because many cases go undetected, unreported and untreated. Of course, it should be no surprise that addiction has no age limits. Many seniors are especially vulnerable. COLUMN - NEXT PAGE

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE March 15, 2018

9A

County Attorney Backstrom to seek re-election Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom announced last week his bid for re-election in 2018. Backstrom was first appointed as Dakota County attorney in September 1987 by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to fill out the term of his predecessor who became a judge. He previously served as an assistant Dakota County attorney for nine years. He has been elected seven times since 1990. Backstrom oversees a staff of approximately 100, including 43 attorneys, in Minnesota’s third largest county. In prosecuting crime, he said in a

press release that his office works closely with 11 police departments, Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie’s Office, and other state and national law enforcement agencies. The office also initiates legal actions to protect children and vulnerable adults, assists in the enforcement of child support obligations and provides legal advice and assistance to all Dakota County officials, among other duties. “The many accomplishments I have achieved as Dakota County Attorney over the past 30 years would not have been possible without the hard work and assistance of the out-

standing individuals on my staff,� Backstrom said. Backstrom noted that the illegal distribution and possession of drugs continues to be a major concern that negatively impacts not only the user, but family members, friends and the community. Many other crimes such as robbery, assault, theft, child abuse and neglect are often connected to the illegal use of drugs. Backstrom helped lead the successful effort in 2016 to amend Minnesota’s drug laws to provide greater opportunities for non-violent drug offenders to address their underlying chemical addictions, while at the same

time adding harsher sanctions for the most dangerous drug dealers. Backstrom also proposed and supports Dakota County’s civil litigation against opioid manufacturers and distributors to address the significant adverse impact this epidemic has had upon our community. Backstrom noted many other challenges that he is committed to continuing to address in Dakota County, including gun violence; sexual assaults; child and domestic abuse; elder abuse; identity theft; and sex trafficking. “I have been privileged to live and work in Dakota County for over 40 years,�

he said. “The safety of this community is important to me and my family. My decision to seek re-election is based upon my goal of continuing to provide the highest level of service possible to Dakota County residents, the victims of crimes, and all of the other clients and individuals we serve each day.� Backstrom is a member of the Board of Directors of the Minnesota County Attorneys Association and has served as president of this organization on two occasions. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National District Attorneys Association and co-chaired the

Juvenile Justice Committee of NDAA for over a decade. He was selected by Minnesota Lawyer Magazine as one of the Attorneys of the Year for 2002 and received the 2006 Johnson Distinguished Service Award, which is the highest honor given by the Minnesota County Attorneys Association. He was honored by the National Child Protection Training Center in 2011 for his work with child abuse victims.

Seniors: Keep away from addictive patterns COLUMN - PREV PAGE

... by Bob Ramsey alcoholic explained, “I’m not much, but I’m all I ever think about.� Loneliness and selfloathing are often precursors of substance abuse. Sadly, many people including family members, often deny or pooh-pooh the importance of elder addiction. They rational-

ize that grandpa doesn’t have much time left, so why not let him have his fun. The problem is that it’s not fun. It’s hell. There’s an old Laurel and Hardy story (remember them?) in which Stan can’t find Ollie. He searches everywhere calling out, “Where are you?� Finally, he opens the closet door and there’s Ollie. “Why didn’t you answer?,� asks Stan and Ollie replies, “It was so dark I didn’t think you could hear me.� The story is mildly amusing; but when real life becomes so

Poet, author and storyteller Gordon W. Fredrickson will speak about the history and struggles involved with farming, as based on his family’s ex-

dark that you feel no one can hear your voice anymore, it’s not funny. Elder addiction robs sufferers of their identity, dignity, community and purpose. It prevents them from having any meaningful reason to live (other than to take more drugs) or from giving and receiving love or from leaving a positive, lasting legacy. The experts tell us there are three things we should know about elder addiction: 1. Family can’t fix family. It takes professionals and support from others who are recovering from the disease. 2. Recovery is more than sobriety. It requires life style changes. 3. Help is available; and older

adults in recovery have the highest success rates among all age groups. No senior has to die an addict. Nan Vest, community outreach manager for The Retreat center, cites the example of a 90 plus year old woman who achieved recovery and lived out her last few years in serenity. You’re never too old to become independent of drugs again; but the older you are, the greater the sense of urgency. For some, today may be “last call� for recovery. Bob Ramsey is a lifelong educator, freelance writer and advocate for “Vital Aging.� He can be contacted at 952-922-9558 or by email at joyrammini@comcast.net.

Unfortunately, prescription medications aree often the gateway drugs thatt lead to the use of more-powerful addictive substances. To make matter worse, many seniors live alone, isolated and insulated, with little social contact. It’s easy for them to become bored, depressed, self-absorbed and self-pitying. As one older

Sports Tigers start fast, but it’s not enough North zooms past Farmington in section girls basketball final by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North faced a 10-point deficit early in the Class 4A, Section 1 girls basketball championship game, but the Panthers had no choice but to come back. If they didn’t, a lot of T-shirts never would have left the box. A furious rally, fueled by the North defense, put the Panthers up by halftime and they cruised through the second half for a 65-43 victory March 8 at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. After Farmington took a 19-9 lead, the Tigers were outscored 5624 the rest of the game. That allowed Lakeville North, which will play at the state tournament for the 14th time and third year in a row, to break out T-shirts commemorating the section championship. “Tradition Never Graduates,” it said on the front. Now it’s on to state for Lakeville North (245), which played Maple Grove, also 24-5, in the Class 4A quarterfinals at noon Wednesday at the Target Center as this edition went to press. Three South Suburban Conference teams qualified for the state tournament, and all are in the same half of the Class 4A bracket. The Lakeville North-Maple Grove winner plays No. 1-seeded Eastview or Prior Lake in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Thursday. North coach Shelly Clemons said teams often struggle with the shooting background at Mayo Civic Center, so early in the game the Panthers concentrated on containing Farmington’s low-post scorers. That didn’t work as the Tigers shot well, so North went back to the zone press for which it’s known. “Offense comes from our defense, so we have to get tips and stops, and we run a press that makes us get into passing lanes. That’s what gets us amped up,” Lakeville North senior forward Taylor Brown said. Guards Lauren Jensen and Analiese Tschida, the Panthers’ top two scorers, also sparked the comeback with 22 and 15 points. “We came out a little bit tight,” Clemons said. “I think it was a classic case of the No. 1 seed coming out and feeling all the pressure. They put a little pressure on themselves. Maybe I put a little pressure on them. We just needed to loosen up and play our game. We got a little rattled, but I think we

Laterecovered really well.” Brown had nine points and senior center Ke James eight for the Panthers. “We were a little rattled,” Brown said. “Farmington came out super strong, and I think we weren’t ready. As the game progressed, we stepped it up. It’s a section final game. We needed to step it up.” Farmington (19-10), which was trying to reach the state tournament for the first time, was led by junior forward Kaitlin Winston with 12 points. Guards Ellie Clayton (10 points) and Molly Mogensen (eight) also were key players in the Tigers’ early surge. Lakeville North won all three of its games against Farmington this season, but Clemons said this is just the start of a rivalry between her team and the Tigers. “They’re really young, they came out poised, showed some grit and were fired up and ready to play,” Clemons said. “They’re going to be a powerhouse in our conference and section for years to come.” Earlier in the season,

Local league offers football alternative Spring touch football is being offered in Farmington by Minnesota Youth 7on7 (My7on7) Passing League and GameBreaker.

Initially it was only offered in Woodbury but this spring will be hosted at eight sites – including at Farmington High School. Its mission is to grow and develop young athletes in football fundamentals, proper techniques, and skill development in a fun and safe environment. The league is for youth in grades one to eight of all skill levels. League play starts Sunday, April 8, and lasts five weeks. The top teams from each location will compete against each other in the Youth State Championship on May 13. For more information or to register, visit http://www. my7on7.com/farmington.

Hawks unite

ly, however, the Panthers have taken a what’s-doneis-done attitude about that loss. “As the season progressed, it’s slowly faded from our minds and now we’re focused on what’s ahead of us rather than what’s behind us,” Clemons said. “This is these girls’ story and they want to go live it.” Now, it’s all about wanting another chance. Brown said Clemons brought up last year’s state tournament before the Panthers played Farmington, “not exactly that game (against Elk River), but where we got to last year, and how we want to get to that position again and hope for a different outcome.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Players from the Dakota United Hawks’ PI and CI division adapted floor hockey teams had an intrasquad game March 7 during the program’s Community Night at Rosemount High School. The Dakota United co-op includes Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount high schools. The event included a performance by the Rosemount High School Pep Band and a chuck-a-puck contest. The game marked the end of the season for Dakota United’s CI Division team, which did not qualify for the state tournament. Dakota United will be in the PI Division state tourney and plays Maple Grove in the first round at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 16, at Bloomington Jefferson High School. Photo by Mike Shaughnessy

Thisweekend More ‘Hairspray’

Photos submitted

“Hairspray,� the 2002 romantic comedy based on John Waters’ 1988 comedy film of the same name, is being presented by The Play’s the Thing Productions at the Lakeville Area Arts Center weekends March 16-25. The multi-racial cast is from all over the Twin Cities and director Dayna Railton said they have enthusiastically embraced the early 60s styles including the intricacies of the “Beehive� hairstyle. She said the cast attended a make-up and bouffant hair-styling party to learn how to create the towering hairdo of the era. Railton said the theater group chose this show, not only for its award-winning score and lively dance numbers, but for its overall theme of inclusion, accepting people’s differences — whether it’s their looks or the color of their skin. Railton said the musical show is a bit tamer than the 1988 film, but is just as kitschy and fun. It is considered family friendly and Railton said young children will enjoy the energetic dance numbers and the colorful costumes.

Apple Valley author to speak in Rosemount The Rosemount Area Arts Council’s next Meet the Author speaker will be Apple Valley author Jeffrey Burton, who will be presenting his latest book “The Eulogist,� published in October 2017. Burton will be at the Robert Trail Library, 14395 S. Robert Trail, Rosemount on Thursday, March 22, from 6:30-8 p.m. This free event is produced as a collaboration of the Robert Trail Library and the Rosemount Area Arts Council, and has been presented monthly for the past seven years. In Burton’s latest book, FBI Special Agent Drew Cady is reluctantly drawn into investigating the assassination of a sitting United States senator. Strangely, the senator’s death is linked to a murdered Baltimore junkie with an identical method of death — a single stab wound to the heart and a typed eulogy left at the scene. As Cady deals with a professional hit man known only as the Canadian, a breakthrough Alzheimer’s drug, a misanthropic hacker, and a Mexican drug cartel, he peels back the layers of deceit and comes to realize that even the reddest of

Students have art on exhibit

Jeffrey Burton red herrings can bite. And unfortunately for all involved, the killings have just begun. Burton was born in Long Beach, California, grew up in St. Paul, and received his bachelor of arts in journalism at the University of Minnesota. Novels in Burton’s Agent Drew Cady mystery series include “The Chessman,� The Lynchpin,� and “The Eulogist.� His short stories have appeared in dozens of magazines. Burton is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, the International Association of Crime Writers, the Horror Writers Association, and MNArtists.org.

Restoring trout streams A group of about 30 volunteers from the nonprofit conservation group Twin Cities Trout Unlimited worked with the Department of Natural Resources March 3 to do stream restoration in the South Branch of the Vermillion River State Aquatic Management Area, east of Farmington. The river is one of the best trout streams in the state, even though it’s in a major metro area. This weekend, March 16-18, the volunteers will be teaching fly fishing and fly tying at their fundraiser, The Great Waters

Fly Fishing Expo at Hamline University in St. Paul. Children 12 and under get in free. For tickets and more information, visit www.GreatWatersFlyExpo.com. So far, volunteers from the Twin Cities and five other chapters have restored more than 60 miles of trout streams across the state, through the coordinating organization, Minnesota Trout Unlimited. More work is scheduled this spring and summer. The group will hold another volunteer work day with the DNR on Saturday, April 7, on Eagle

Creek in Savage. The group also runs a hands-on watershed education program in two dozen schools, including students from Lakeville, Farmington, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Eagan, Burnsville, Savage, Prior Lake, Shakopee, Edina, Bloomington, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lake Elmo and Stillwater. Students raise trout from eggs in science class to learn about water chemistry, biology, and pollution prevention. They will release their trout in local streams next month.

Dementia Friendly initiative

The Rambling River Center Advisory Board is inviting the community to attend a meeting on the Dementia Friendly Farmington Initiative. It will take place 3-4:30 p.m. Monday, April 9, at the Farmington Library, 508 Third St. Business owners, individuals who work in Farmington and community members are invited to this meeting put on by members of the Farmington Rambling River Cen-

ter’s Advisory Board and other community partners. Their goal is to make Farmington “dementia friendly� by educating individuals on how to be welcoming and supportive of those living with dementia in Farmington. Every 66 minutes an American is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. This growing rate is affecting millions of Americans a year and makes it difficult for them to do daily activities such as shopping,

banking and more. The Dementia Friendly initiative will help families and community members see the signs of an individual with dementia, and know how to support them in their everyday activities. For more information about the meeting or the Dementia Friendly Initiative, contact Pennie Page at 612-209-8771 or ppage8880@frontiernet. net.
