Veterans helping veterans Hospice volunteer provides safe atmosphere for veterans to speak by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Human contact with those in hospice care is one of the reasons why veteran and Lakeville resident Bill Pomije has volunteered his time for the past five years. Pomije has volunteered with Fairview Home Care and Hospice and We Honor Veterans, a national program that partners with local hospice providers to meet the needs of veterans and their families. Most of his volunteer work is performing pinning ceremonies for other veterans currently in hospice care. The ceremony is there to give the veteran an American flag pin as well as to say thank you to the caregivers and the ones who served his or her country. Pomije served in the Army for 23 years. He first joined after he graduated from college. He was on active duty for 12 years and then in the reserves for 11 more years. He retired from the reserves and moved back to Minnesota from New Hampshire. “I enjoyed almost all of it. I had a wonderful opportunity to spend time overseas in the Far East and Europe. That was a wonderful experience,” Pomije said. When Pomije was back in Minnesota, where he was born and raised, his sister-inlaw, Carrie Liedner, encouraged him to become a hospice

do for those in hospice and has seen families come together to show their love for their family members. Pomije has been told many stories over the years by the veterans who feel comfortable enough to share with him. He once met a World War II veteran who served in the Navy. Pomije found the name of the ship the veteran was stationed on and began searching online. During their next visit, Pomije shared a photograph he found of the ship from that time. The ship pictured was the one the Navy veteran served on and Pomije even found a picture of the man. “It was very emotional for both of us. Whenever you leave your family and everything you know to join the military, and especially if you’re preparing to go to war, it’s an intense experience that Photo submitted others have no frame of Lakeville Army veteran Bill Pomije volunteers with We Are Veterans reference for.

Growing career pathways within our schools are giving students unique opportunities to pursue their passions and gain vital skills needed to succeed in this ever-changing, global society. Visit any of our schools and you will see robust, active learning, including personalized STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) experiences that are exposing students to possible careers in the fast-growing STEM field. New to this school year, a group of elementary teachers in collaboration with Teaching and Learning Department staff have launched an elementary coding program to expose our youngest students to real-world, hands-on learning. The program is available to all students in grade 1 through grade 5. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. With greater emphasis on cloud computing, information security, and data storage in the world we live in and work in today, these occupations are projected to add about 557,100 new jobs across the U.S. We recognize the demand for workers in the STEM field means we must train students with the skills they will need to be successful in post-secondary opportunities and in thier careers.

In addition to helping prepare Lakeville Area students with technical skills to succeed in the future, coding principles help expose our students to critical skill-sets including logical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and communication, which are important for all students to be successful in the classroom and upon graduation as they pursue their hopes and dreams. Because there are no state or national standards in the area of coding to date, many districts like ours have developed curriculum to offer this important STEM-based learning. From Blue-bots, Ozobots, Spiros, iPads and more, elementary students are learning soft-skills and technical skills all while having hands-on fun. To learn more about elementary coding, please contact Sandy Giorgi, director of elementary teaching and learning at 952-232-3684 or sandy.giorgi@isd194.org. Or, watch the Nov. 27 Board of Education meeting where students will be sharing first-hand how they are applying their learning in computer science and coding.

Opinion Tax benefits noted for military members by Cynthia Bauerly SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesotans who serve in the armed forces make many sacrifices during – and often after – their service. They, and the families who support and care for them, are vital members of our communities, helping each day to make a better Minnesota. My father served in the Vietnam War, and as I reflect on what he gave in service to our country – what all service members give – I am humbled and grateful. As Veterans Day approaches, we at the Minnesota Department of Revenue want to remember and honor their service and remind veterans and current service members that they may be eligible for Minnesota tax benefits. The state of Minnesota provides a

Guest Columnist Cynthia Bauerly range of tax benefits for active-duty military members, and those who served in the past. One underused benefit is the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone. This credit is available to Minnesota residents who served in a qualifying combat zone or hazardous duty area. The credit can be claimed up to three and a half years after the due date of their income tax return; meaning military members who had qualifying service in 2015, 2016, and 2017 can still claim the credit.

The credit is worth $120 for each month served in a combat zone or hazardous duty area during the year. To learn more about the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone and the other tax-related benefits, visit the department’s website at www.revenue. state.mn.us and search keyword Military Members. There, one will find information and resources about several taxrelated benefits for veterans and current service members including: • Active-Duty Military Pay Subtraction, which lowers state income taxes for military members who are serving on active duty. • Military Pension Subtraction, which allows one to subtract certain military retirement pay (including pensions) from Minnesota taxable income.

• Disabled Veterans Homestead Exclusion, which reduces or eliminates the property taxes those with a qualifying disability pay. • Credit for Past Military Service, which lowers state income taxes for those with a qualifying disability, who served at least 20 years in the military, or receive military retirement pay. We are proud that thousands of service members and veterans call Minnesota home. These tax benefits are just a few of the ways the state honors their service each year. Cynthia Bauerly is the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

People are encouraged to ‘Thank a Cop’ by Bill Tschohl SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Our Apple Valley Police Department is very important for all of us. If you have not thanked an Apple Valley Police officer recently, I encourage you to do so. While we do not hear much about crime in Apple Valley, the officers are busy. For our safety and comfort the officers potentially put their lives on the line for us on a regular basis. Beyond this, often when done with work they involve themselves in community activities. They want our youth to stay on a good path and they assist with a variety of community events throughout the year. This is their way of thanking our community. They love this community so much as we all do. I have been a resident of Apple Valley since 1979 and understand the importance of a well-run and safe city. During a 39-year career in real estate I’ve sold over 3,000 homes and it was always easy to convince people that this was the place to live. A safe city with a great education

Guest Columnist Bill Tschohl system. My three children were able to grow up in a safe environment. Now with young grandchildren I want them to enjoy the same safety that I and their parents enjoyed. This sense of safety would not be possible without the great leadership of Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel and Capt. Nick Francis and the entire police force. Our Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, City Manager Tom Lawell and our City Council members understand the importance of a great police force and the need to provide proper support for them. Working together they are able to provide protection for our residents. It is not hard to say, “Thank you.” They will appreciate hearing from you.

We still have residents who bring thank you cards to the police department. Some even bring candy, cakes, pies and even prepared turkeys. It is all appreciated by the officers and support staff. The police department is located at 7100 147th St. W., Apple Valley. A few years ago, a very generous individual wanted to see more appreciation for our police department and provided a large quantity of bumper or window stickers, which read: #THANK A COP, Apple Valley Police Department. About 1,000 have been installed on cars and home windows by supporters. It would be great to see everyone using the stickers on their car bumpers to show support for the Apple Valley Police Department. If you would like one of the stickers, please stop by at the Apple Valley Police Department. They will be pleased to accommodate you. In 2013, CNN Money Magazine said we are the 17th Best City in the Nation in which to live and work. Many of our residents feel we are No. 1 and look forward to continuing this feeling by showing support for our unsung police officers who are our heroes. A superior

police force loved by the community is very important when Money Magazine ranks cities. We all know our Apple Valley Police Department is the best as they do so much to make Apple Valley a great city in which to live and work. Mayor Mary said this is “one of the safest hometowns in America.” The least we can do for the Apple Valley Police Department is thank them for all they do for everyone in Apple Valley. They protect our city and continue to make it a better place in which to live and work even with some difficult challenges they face in their work. We appreciate them as they truly are there for us. As we prepare for a Happy Thanksgiving with our family remember them for making our families safe. Any kind words you extend to them will be deeply appreciated. Kindly remember to “thank a cop.” William H. Tschohl is a longtime Apple Valley resident.

Local legislative seats part of DFL sweep by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two Burnsville-area legislative districts were part of the suburban sweep that gave Democrats control of the Minnesota House of Representatives Tuesday. Two-term Republican Reps. Drew Christensen, District 56A, and Roz Peterson, District 56B, were unseated in an election that flipped 18 House seats from Republican to DFL. New DFL Reps. Hunter Cantrell, 56A, and Alice Mann, 56B, will take office when the Legislature convenes in January.

District 56A In a race marked by youth, Cantrell, 23, defeated Rep. Drew Christensen, 25, both of Savage. The district includes four northwest Burnsville precincts and all of Savage. Cantrell beat Christensen 52.7 percent to 47.1 percent. “I believe that people across our state and across our country are dissatisfied with the state of politics in general, understandably,” said Cantrell, a personal care attendant and tutor in the AVID program at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Savage. “What we collectively desire is a politics that is built by working people and retired people that actually serves people. I think that is something that we are seeing tonight, that people believe that together we can assure that the dignity and the fairness of all people is being upheld in our government.”

He also cited tax relief the Legislature derfunded K-12 schools. Peterson, 53, of Lakeville, said the passed in 2017 and elimination in state

election deepened the state’s regional partisan divide. “It looks like the blue areas got bluer and the red areas got redder,” said Peterson, a commercial real estate agent. “The metro is becoming very Democratic and the rural areas have become more Republican. ... There are very few GOP representatives in Dakota County that are left from the last election.” There must have been a Trump effect in the race, given all the good economic news that’s occurred on his watch, Peterson said. It wasn’t enough to stem the DFL tide. “The issue is President Trump,” she said. “That’s the issue.” DFL voters were “more engaged” than in past midterm elections, she said. Peterson, who has served on the House education finance and health and human services reform committees, said the House has passed a lot of legislation to reduce health care costs and increase access, some of which was vetoed by DFL Gov. Mark Dayton. She warned that a government-run, single-payer system would cost jobs, raise taxes and consume the state budget. “I’m very proud and I’m very thankful and I’m very honored,” Peterson said. “It’s been a pleasure to serve the communities. I was on the (Lakeville Area) School Board for eight years prior to this. I’ve had the honor of serving this community for 12 years. And now it’s on to somebody else to take over that job.”

Schutta will discuss seven easy strategies to apply to raise a kindhearted, empathetic child who thinks of others. Registration informa-

tion is available at www. speakingofkids.info or by calling 651-460-3200. Child care is available by registration prior to the event. Free continuing education credits available with registration. Kenwood Trail Middle School is located at 19455 Kenwood Trail in Lakeville.

District 196 to hold focus groups on budget cut recommendations Independent School District 196 has scheduled three nights of focus group meetings the first week of December to get public input on $25 million in budget adjustment recommendations before they are presented to the School Board in January. The focus groups will run from 6-7:30 p.m. on each of the following nights: • Tuesday, Dec. 4, at Black Hawk Middle School in Eagan; • Wednesday, Dec. 5, at Rosemount High School; and • Thursday, Dec. 6, at Falcon Ridge Middle School in Apple Valley. There will be focus groups of parents, residents and community/ business leaders, and employees each night. Some participants will be randomly selected and invited in a letter from Superintendent Mary M. Kreger. Anyone interested in participating can contact the superintendent’s office at 651-423-7723 or email supt@district196.org and include their name and phone number to reserve a spot. A Budget Steering Committee has been meeting since September to develop the list of recommended cuts and revenue enhancements to address a projected $25 million budget shortfall over the next three years. After getting input from the focus groups, the committee will present its final recommendations as new business at the Jan. 7, 2019, School Board meeting. The board is expected to decide how much and what to cut for the 2019-20 school year at its Feb. 11, 2019, meeting. Additional cuts for the following two school years would be needed if district voters do not approve a local levy referendum that the board is likely to call for November 2019. Director of Finance

and Operations Jeff Solomon said the budget adjustments are necessary because basic education funding from the state has not kept pace with inflation. The general education formula allowance is the single biggest source of revenue school districts receive to support basic education. Since 2003, the gap between the actual and inflation-adjusted formula allowance has grown to $618 per pupil. If the formula had kept pace with inflation the last 15 years, Solomon said District 196 would be receiving an additional $18 million in state funding this school year. The lack of adequate funding for special education is an even costlier issue for Minnesota school districts. This year, the gap between state and federal funding for special education and the actual cost of providing these mandated services, known as the special education “cross-subsidy,” will top $700 million statewide. In District 196 alone, the funding shortfall for special education was $28 million last year and is expected to be even larger this year. As a result, the district needs to use general fund dollars to make up the difference. For more information about the focus group meetings, call the superintendent’s office at 651-4237723.

District 196 Budget Advisory Council will meet The District 196 Budget Advisory Council (BAC) will meet 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the District Office in Rosemount, 3455 153rd St. W. As always, the public is welcome to attend. Topics on the Nov. 14 agenda include review of the 2018 audit, an enrollment report and projections, and discussion of financial plan parameters. For more information about the BAC, call the office of the director of finance and operations at 651-423-7713.

Plans to have chamber grow as the city grows www.WicklundFamily.Com Since 1973

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Collaboration and searching for individual business needs is what new Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce President Krista Jech is aiming to work on in her new position. The chamber president position was held previously by Tim Roche for the past four years. Roche announced his departure from the chamber in July, with his last day Aug. 3. Jech has taken over the role and wants to grow the organization as the city of Lakeville grows. “We have a very robust business community,” Jech said. “The more you go out and talk to people the more you find out we have a very engaged population. We are growing. We are going to continue to become a kind of force.” Jech’s collaborative leadership style has her working with people who bring a variety of ideas to the table. Those ideas are what Jech believes will allow the chamber to grow as the city grows. “I believe the more you can collaborate as a team and come up with ideas, the more you end up with an engaged group of people. I think you should surround yourself with people who are smarter than you – more talented than you because I think a good leader is someone who listens as much as they talk,” she said. Jech currently lives in Lakeville with her husband, Jory, and two boys, Luke and Mason. After graduating from Burnsville High School, Jech went on to obtain her degree in journalism with an emphasis in advertising from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She then went on to gather sales, marketing, event and project management experience. Over the past 20 years, Jech has worked for the Star Tribune, ECM Publishers and KSTP-TV. “The reason I went for this is because I saw and opportunity for me to serve my city, which is important to me. I knew that with my skill set and my background in sales, communication and marketing I could help take what is already a strong organization and help take it to that next level,” she said. While using her skills working in advertising, Jech adds she not only hopes the organization will continue to be and advocate for those in the business com-

New Lakeville Chamber of Commerce President Krista Jech munity but also aims to learn more about the chamber’s members as individuals. One-size-fits-all events are not what will be beneficial for businesses in Lakeville, Jech said. It’s becoming more individualized for the different types of businesses because the way businesses are being run is changing. “I want to start drilling down to what do people need to help them be successful and how can we connect them to each other,” Jech said. Getting the entire business community engaged is what Jech is working toward in order to have each business be successful. She encourages folks to approach her as not someone who is the president of the chamber of commerce but as someone one can run into at the grocery store and joke with while also sitting down and working to improve the chamber. “I’m very respectful of where everyone is coming from … We are all just people trying to do good things. Hopefully we will have fun doing it,” she said. Kayla Culver can be reached at kayla.culver@ ecm-inc.com.

Residents in House District 57A will have a new state representative in the next legislative session. DFL candidate Robert Bierman won the House seat on Tuesday, getting 12,007 votes or 54.53 percent, according to the unofficial results. “A big thank you to the community for putting their trust in me at this time and I want to go to the state Capitol and prove them correct in their belief and work hard,” he said. Three candidates were seeking the House District 57A seat – Lakeville resident Matt Lundin (Republican), Bierman, an Apple Valley resident, and Apple Valley resident Matthew Swenson (Libertarian). Lundin got 9,296 votes (42.22 percent) while Swenson got 704 votes (3.20 percent). Bierman gathered with members of his campaign and other local DFL Party members at the Dakota County United Educators Union office in Apple Valley Tuesday evening, while Lundin spent the evening with family members, neighbors and friends in his Lakeville home.

With health care, people were concerned about the cost of premiums, high deductibles and dealing with MNsure filing. Regarding taxes, people were concerned about the difficulty from the state not aligning with the federal tax code, Lundin said. He added that some people indicated they were hiring tax professionals instead of doing their own taxes out of fear of making a mistake. “That’s a big concern, how complicated it’s going to be this filing season,” he said. Swenson said he was happy with his campaign run and was grateful for the chance to take part in the process. While on the campaign trail, voters asked him about his stance on the Second Amendment and discussed the legalization of marijuana. The other main issue was taxes. “People want to keep more of their money and personally they can decide where better to put it than our government can. When they have more control over their funds that can help them take care of their health care,” he said.

Craig helps Democrats take the U.S. House Former St. Jude Medical executive wins rematch

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A host of DFL candidates won statewide races and ousted two incumbent Republican U.S. House members on election night. Democratic candidate Angie Craig of Eagan held slight edges over U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, who was seeking a second term, throughout the night, but eventually pulled away with a 52.65 to 47.15 advantage. She was declared the winner at about 10:30 p.m. after which she thanked supporters who had gathered at the Lone Oak Grill in Eagan. Craig said the campaign was about providing affordable health care, creating jobs, and supporting education. “This campaign has always been about what we’re fighting for in this country,” Craig told supporters. “What we’re fighting for is quality affordable health care for every single American. It’s about jobs and job skills for every person in this country. It’s

So we have to

try and that’s the kind of representative I’m going to be.” Craig criticized Lewis for not holding more town hall style meetings in the district. Earlier this year, Lewis held three town halls in the district in one day. The events required pre-registration that was criticized. Lewis said the process was needed in order to keep the events safe and free of incident. His office reported that Lewis received a threat prior to the town halls. Craig pledged that if she was elected she would hold monthly town hall style meetings in the district. “I’m honored, I’m humbled, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent our district. I will never forget where I come from and who I work for,” Craig said in a statement. Lewis, a longtime political radio talk show host, ran on a platform that the Tax Cut and Jobs Act has stimulated the economy, that more money is needed for border security, and that a repeal of the Afford-

able Care Act is needed. Craig, a former vice president of human resources for St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical, is the first Democrat to represent the 2nd District since redistricting in 2002 put all of Dakota County in 2nd. “Tonight, 2nd District voters sent a clear message that they are ready for a leader who will break through the partisan gridlock in Washington and get results for Minnesota families,” Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement. “Angie ran a positive campaign focused on the issues Minnesota families care about, and I can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish for us in Congress.” It was big night for female candidates across the state and nation. Women were elected to fill both Minnesota U.S. Senate seats and many other House and Senate seats across the nation. Many of those women were also from diverse backgrounds. Craig, who

is married to wife Cheryl and is the mother of four boys, will be the first lesbian to represent Minnesota in Congress, as well as the first openly LGBTQ mother to serve in Congress. “Angie is a proven leader for LGBTQ families and her fight for custody of her son in 2000 led to a landmark ruling which made it possible for other samesex couples to adopt,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily’s List, a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates. “She is a champion for equality, a fighter for health care, and an ally who will not back down when it comes to standing up against the disastrous GOP agenda.” The 2nd District includes Dakota County, Scott, Goodhue, and Wabasha counties, along with part of northern and eastern Rice County, and southern Washington County.

100 YEARS LATER By RACHEL ANDERSON Contributing Writer

When word reached the Twin Cities 100 years ago—on Nov. 11, 1918—that Germany had formally surrendered and the Great War (World War I) had finally come to an end, people spilled into the streets of downtown Minneapolis to celebrate. The Minneapolis Journal reported in its Nov. 11 edition that, “A big siren tore the midnight silence, with a roar and a series of crescendo shrieks echoing from the hills of Columbia Heights to the lowlands of the Minnesota Valley. Victory had been achieved and the boys were coming back from over there.” But for many in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, the victory celebrated on Armistice Day—what was later renamed Veterans Day—was bittersweet. Yes, the troops were coming home, but greeting them would be what historian and Star Tribune columnist Curt Brown calls the “trident of woe.” Things were not good on the Homefront. In his most recent book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press, Brown writes about the series of devastating events that put communities to the test, forcing them to persevere through untold hardship. “It

A look back at what was happening in the Twin Cities on Armistice Day

was really a triple whammy that hit the state in 1918,” said Brown. “You had war, fire and flu coming together in what was probably the worst year in Minnesota history since the Dakota War of 1862.” “While World War I is remembered by many for the horrors of trench warfare and mustard gas, the flu pandemic that year really proved more deadly for Minnesotans,” said Brown. While 1,432 Minnesotans were killed on the battlefields, an additional 3,758 soldiers were struck down by the influenza pandemic, which left more than 10,000 dead in Minnesota alone. While researching his book, Brown discovered the flu pandemic is believed to have started on a farm in Kansas where the illness jumped from a pig to a young man, who a short time later reported to a military base. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it is estimated that 500 million people, or one-third of the world’s population at the time, became infected with the virus. The number of deaths worldwide was estimated to be at least 50 million. “Also in 1918, there was the worst natural disaster in Minnesota history to deal with,” says Brown. The Cloquet-Moose Lake-Duluth fires of 1918 killed more than 450 people, left thousands homeless, and scorched 1,500 square miles of land.

There is a story in Brown’s book about a large Swedish family up near Moose Lake. “They were all worried about their son, David, fighting in the War, but he ended up being the only one to survive. When he came home the entire family had been wiped out in the Cloquet-Duluth-Moose Lake fires.” Brown also reports that funerals held for fallen soldiers, and also for those killed by the fires, had to be private and done right away to keep people safe. “Usually the flu affects the very young and the very old, but people who were in their 20s—soldier age—were dying at an alarmingly high rate,” said Brown. “Schools, churches and movie theaters were all shut down due to the flu. People were afraid to go out.” As if the disasters in Minnesota weren’t enough to contend with, there was also the anti-German/anti-immigrant feeling tearing communities apart. “In New Ulm, the anti-immigrant sentiment was really causing trouble,” said Brown. “The governor actually threw the mayor and city attorney out of office because they were suspected of being too pro-German. The Germania Bank of St. Paul changed its name; a German guy was tarred and feathered.” Despite it all, there were some good thing to report about those times too, like the story of a nurse in Minneapolis who went above and beyond the call of duty.

THANK YOU Thank you, VETERANS! veterans.

“One of my favorite stories in the book is about a young nursing student at the University of Minnesota, who worked in a pediatric ward that was overwhelmed with sick kids,” explained Brown. “The protocol of the day was you had to wear a white mask, a white outfit, and a white cap, but on her first day—she wrote a great essay about it—she stripped off her mask and cuddled these kids and said they responded great. Three days later a medical intern surprised her. He walked into the nursery during the overnight shift and said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘Well, I’m just trying to make these kids comfortable,’ and the guy said, ‘Well, is there a second rocking chair?’” Minnesotans also provided for each other both during and in the aftermath of the terrible fires of 1918. Members of the Minnesota Home Guard, a volunteer organization created to ensure public safety and protect citizens’ lives and property, fought the fire. They also provided first aid and buried the dead. More information about life in Minnesota around the time of Armistice Day can be found in the Minnesota Historical Society Press Book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” which is available for purchase online and in bookstores throughout the state.

Sports Panthers understand nothing is guaranteed in playoffs No. 1-ranked North recovers from early mistakes to remain unbeaten by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A good way to deal with playoff uncertainty is to assume nothing. Beating an opponent by two touchdowns in the regular season doesn’t assure smooth sailing if that same team shows up in the playoffs, especially if mistakes crop up. Undefeated and No. 1-ranked Lakeville North got in its own way early but found a way to beat Maple Grove 21-13 on Friday in the Class 6A football playoffs. The Panthers fell behind early after mishandling the opening kickoff, which Maple Grove recovered inside the North 20 and eventually turned into the game’s opening touchdown. North (10-0) rallied behind 199 rushing yards from Brian Curtis Jr., 126 rushing yards by RaJa Nelson and a rush defense that held Maple Grove star Evan Hull below 100 yards for the first time all season. Lakeville North (100) defeated Maple Grove 33-18 in a regular-season game in early October. But the Panthers didn’t dwell on the sizable margin in that game, knowing that playoff football can be dif-

But once you get rid of that and realize there’s only eight teams left and a lot of teams aren’t able to keep going,

you’re thankful.” The unpredictability of playoff football was driven home last Friday. After the Panthers celebrated their victory over the Crimson, everyone at the Lakeville North High School stadium assumed Edina was up next for the Panthers. Edina, after all, held a 21-point lead over St. Michael-Albertville as of the last public address

announcement. Actually, Edina’s lead grew to 28 before STMA made an improbable comeback, aided by recovering three consecutive onside kicks, to win 29-28. So it will be STMA (7-3) and not Edina playing the Panthers in the Class 6A quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, at TCO Stadium in Eagan. RaJa Nelson scored rushing touchdowns in the second and third quarters as North took a 14-7 lead. Defensive back Nicholas Wypy recovered a fumble at the North 18 with less than 10 minutes remaining to protect the North lead, but the Panthers were forced to punt, with Maple Grove taking possession near midfield. On their next play the Crimson completed a 48-yard touchdown pass as apprehension set in through the Lakeville North stands. The extra point attempt, however, came out low and was blocked, and North maintained a 14-13 lead. Nelson’s kickoff return put the ball at the North 35. Senior running back Brian Curtis Jr. took the ball on the first play, streaked through a hole in the middle of the line and

went 65 yards to score. Curtis, who rushed for 204 yards and has 1,871 for the season, lost two fumbles near the goal line earlier in the Maple Grove game. “He faced a little adversity in this game, but credit to him for being confident enough to want the ball and make that big play. I’m really, really proud of him,” Vossen said. “We hadn’t faced that much adversity this season except against Eden Prairie (in the second game of the regular season),” senior linebacker Thomas Jensen said. “The fact we faced a ton of adversity in this game says a lot about how we’re going to be moving forward. It’s good that we faced it right now, instead of later.” Maple Grove’s Hull, who had two 300-yard games this season, was held to 97 yards on 26 carries by the North defense. “We tried to shut down the middle because we saw they tried to break it to the middle,” Jensen said. “I played defensive line a little bit. We played with five defensive linemen most of the time, put eight or nine in the box and tried to suffocate them.” The final eight in the

Class 6A playoffs include three teams from the Metro South subdistrict – Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Eastview. Eastview plays Blaine, the other undefeated team in the enrollment class, in a Class 6A semifinal game Thursday in White Bear Lake, and Lakeville South faces Woodbury on Friday at Osseo High School. If Lakeville North and Lakeville South win their games Friday, they would play each other in the semifinals Nov. 16 at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Panthers want to play three more games and have a chance to win their school’s first state football championship since 2003. But last Friday’s game was poignant for their seniors, who played on their home field for the last time and earned a state trophy for reaching the quarterfinals. “I think every coach on our staff who played here remembers their last game here,” said Vossen, who’s part of that group. “It was emotional for some of us. I know I cried a little bit,” Jensen said. “But it’s great to go out with a win.”

Cougars ride wave into state quarterfinals Once 1-5, Lakeville South now on 4-game winning streak by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In just a few weeks, Lakeville South’s football program went from another rebuilding season to something radically different – and from the Cougars’ perspective, much more exciting. Instead of hoping to win one playoff game, the Cougars are taking a “Why not us?” approach to the postseason as one of the teams still standing in the Class 6A tournament. At 5-5, Lakeville South has the worst record of the eight Class 6A survivors, but the Cougars are convinced they have become a team nobody is anxious to play. Four of the five South victories have come in the last four weeks, including road games against Cretin-Derham Hall and

Champlin Park in the first two rounds of the playoffs. South, which has reached the state quarterfinal round for the first time since 2010, plays Woodbury (9-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Osseo High School. South players and coaches say they want to keep the focus on this week’s game, but it’s impossible to ignore what could be down the road if the Cougars upset Woodbury. If Lakeville South and Lakeville North win their quarterfinal games, their fans would get the opportunity to blow the roof off U.S. Bank Stadium, where the teams would meet in the semifinals Nov. 16. Lakeville North (10-0) takes on St. Michael-Albertville (7-3) in a Class 6A quarterfinal Friday night at TCO Stadium in Eagan. For now, though, the

Cougars are savoring a playoff run that seemed improbable as recently as Oct. 5, when they lost to Rosemount 31-15 to drop to 1-5. “The South program had been known for being down for a while. It’s suffered in recent years,” said senior captain and two-way standout Jared Stewart. “Making that turnaround is important for our seniors. I take a lot of pride in it. It’s my last season of high school football, so going to state is huge for me. I always dreamed about it. It’s big for me and I know it is for my friends.” Even when the Cougars lost five out of six, they still believed they were laying the groundwork for success, coach Tyler Krebs said. The winning streak has cemented that belief. “As long as we keep

playing the way we have the last few weeks we can play with anybody,” Krebs said. “Every game it comes down to a few plays, and if we keep making them we can keep going for another couple weeks.” The obvious difference between the Lakeville South team that was 1-5 and the Cougars team that has won its last four is offense. South averaged 47 points in its last four games, including a 43-34 victory at Champlin Park on Nov. 2 in the Class 6A second round. The Cougars gained 481 yards, including 418 on the ground, against a Rebels team that won seven games. At some point after introducing its new T-formation attack, South went from having trouble reaching the end zone to being a team that was tough to keep out of the end zone.

Tavian Laden of Lakeville South breaks through the Champlin Park defense during the Cougars’ 43-34 victory last Friday. Laden rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns. Two South running backs gained more than 100 yards against Champlin Park. Senior Tavian Laden had 176 yards on 25 carries and three touchdowns. Junior Johnny Shabaz gained 107 yards on nine carries and scored once. Stewart rushed for 80 yards on 14 carries and had two touchdowns. Stewart also ran for three two-point conversions.

“We felt as the game went on if we handed the ball to Jared Stewart he’d get 3 yards,” Krebs said when asked about South going for five two-point conversions. “The nice thing about this offense is you’re running your shortyardage offense the whole game, so you get a feel for what works and what doesn’t if you need to get 3 yards in a pinch.”

Cougars,Wildcats part of SSC’s volleyball dominance Three teams from league make state tournament by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The high school volleyball playoffs were a South Suburban Conference tour de force, as four teams from the league reached section championship matches and three advanced to this week’s state tournament. A South Suburban team has reached the Class 3A championship match every year since the conference formed in 2010. That streak has a strong chance to continue with Eagan and Lakeville South drawing the first and third seeds in the tournament and Shakopee getting the fifth seed. And the only reason Lakeville North isn’t back to defend its 2017 state championship is the Panthers lost a five-set thriller to Lakeville South in the Class 3A, Section 1 final last Saturday, a match

Lakeville South players celebrate after receiving the Class 3A, Section 1 volleyball championship trophy. The Cougars will play Edina in the first round of the state tournament Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. in which the two teams scored exactly the same number of points. “When you play in a conference that tough, it makes it harder to earn your points,” said Lakeville South senior libero Alena Moldan. “It forces you to learn to play with your teammates, which prepares us to play well in the sections.” Eagan and Lakeville South will play in the Class 3A quarterfinals Thursday morning at Xcel

Energy Center.

Lakeville South Evidence of the South Suburban’s dominance in large-school volleyball showed up in the Star Tribune All-Metro selections. Five of the six players on the first team were from SSC schools. None of them were Lakeville South players, but Cougars veterans Jasmine Mulvihill and Alena Moldan passed on the opportunity to seize the no-

respect narrative. “The people they picked are amazing athletes and they deserve what they have,” said Mulvihill, who like Moldan was named second-team All-Metro. This is Lakeville South’s second trip to the state tournament and its second in three years. In 2016 the Cougars took third at state with a roster that included two future Division I college players. “The last time at state we had a couple of superstar players,” said Moldan, who will play at the University of New Mexico. “This year we’re so evenly matched against each other we get better in practice and in games.” In the Section 1 final, Lakeville South outlasted a Lakeville North team that returned four regulars from its 2017 Class 3A championship team. South won 30-28, 21-25, 25-19, 19-25, 18-16 in a match so close that each team scored 113 points. With South leading 17-16 in the fifth game,

Lakeville North’s Macy Winter appeared to have killed the ball to even the match. But Lakeville South setter Jasmine Weidemann stuck out her foot to keep it in play, and the Cougars went on to win the point and the match. Asked if the Cougars would prefer an easier route to the state tournament than having to go through their crosstown rival, Mulvihill said, “No, we like fighting for what we have. Our motto is ‘Always earned, never given,’ and this proves we wanted to fight for our spot in the state tournament.” Lakeville South is 27-4 going into the state tournament, where it will play Edina (19-7) in a Class 3A quarterfinal at 11 a.m. Thursday. Mulvihill and Ava Moes had 25 and 21 kills for South in the section final. Five Cougars had 14 digs or more in the North match, led by Mulvihill with 22. Senior outside hitter Elizabeth Juhnke had 24 kills and 21 digs for Lakev-

ille North, which finished 26-5. Halle Wolfe had 29 digs for the Panthers, who had a 14-match winning streak broken in the section final. Mulvihill, who played in the state tournament as a sophomore, is happy to have one more chance before playing in college for Division II superpower Concordia-St. Paul. “It’s an amazing experience,” she said. “I tell my teammates every day you want to get there at least once because you’ll never forget it.”

Eagan Eagan (27-2) plays Forest Lake (25-6) in a Class 3A quarterfinal at 9 a.m. Thursday. The Wildcats go into the state tournament on a 12-match winning streak after defeating East Ridge 25-21, 25-13, 25-18 in the Section 3 final last Saturday at Prior Lake High School. Eagan didn’t drop a set against any of its three section opponents and has lost only two sets since Oct. 1.

Brewster earns another top-5 at Class AA cross country South junior competes in her fifth state meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville South junior Brianne Brewster earned a second consecutive topfive finish and fourth consecutive All-State spot at the Class AA girls cross country meet Saturday at St. Olaf College. Brewster was fifth in 17 minutes, 57.2 seconds, matching her place in the 2017 state meet. It was her fastest time in four 5,000-meter races at the state meet. Brewster has competed in five state meets; when she competed in 2014 as a seventh-grader the girls race was still 3,000 meters. Emily Covert of Minneapolis Washburn won a second consecutive championship in 17:03.4, a state record for a Class AA 5K girls race. Two of Brewster’s South Suburban Conference rivals, Farmington’s Lauren Peterson and Anna Fenske, were second and third. Brewster also helped the Lakeville South girls team finish 13th in Class AA with 292 points. This was the girls team’s third

State House balance tilts to the DFL Close races watched on election night by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In past election cycles, the House and Senate seats in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area have helped swing the balance of power in the respective chambers. Prior to Election Day 2018, Republicans held five House seats to the DFL’s three in the south suburban Twin Cities coverage area. The DFL defeated three incumbent Republican House members and won an open seat in the local area, helping the party regain control of the chamber by swinging 18 districts statewide. The only open seat in House District 57A, which covers portions of Apple Valley and Lakeville, was being contested by Republican Matt Lundin, a Realtor from Lakeville; DFL candidate Robert Bierman of Apple Valley, who owns a Northfield furniture business with his family; and Apple Valley resident Matthew Swenson of the Libertarian Party. The open seat was vacated by one-term state

District 56B in the Burnsville area from 2007-2010 (District 40A), and House 2013-2014 (District 56B). But other than those blips, those districts have been served by Republicans. Changing demographics may also be contributing to the flipped seats as Dakota County is becoming more diverse. Diverse populations tend to vote for more Democratic candidates. The other notable returns were that the Eagan and Burnsville districts of 51A and 51B went heavily for the DFL in 2018 with Masin and Halverson winning by more than 60to-40 margins. Previous to Masin’s first election in 2006, the Eagan area was largely served by a string of Republicans that included former Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Masin’s been in the House for six non-consecutive terms – 2007-2010 (District 38A); House 2013-present (District 51A).

According to unofficial returns, Bierman had won the seat with a 54.53 to 42.2 advantage over Lundin. Swenson finished with 3.2 percent. The flipped seats included: House District 56A — State Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Burnsville, was defeated by DFLer Hunter Cantrell, Burnsville, 52.74 to 47.13 percent. House District 56B — State Rep. Roz Peterson,

R-Lakeville, was defeated by DFLer Alice Mann, Lakeville, 52.64 to 47.28 percent. House District 57B — State Rep. Anna Wills, R-Rosemount, was defeated by the DFL’s John Huot, Rosemount, 51.90 to 48.06 percent. Incumbents won the rest of the seats in the coverage area. They included: House District 51A — State Rep. Sandra Masin, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Jim Kiner, Burnsville, 61.42 to 38.52 percent. House District 51B — State Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Douglas

Willetts, Eagan, 62.18 to 37.74 percent. House District 58A — State Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, defeated DFLer Maggie Williams, Lakeville, 55.68 to 44.25 percent. House District 58B — State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, was being challenged by DFLer Marla Vagts, Farmington, 58.72 to 41.18 percent. The results were reflective of a strong showing for the DFL Party in Minnesota. The DFL won all the statewide races for governor, attorney general, secretary of state, auditor and two U.S. Senate seats. It is possible that the

high turnout and support for DFL candidates at the top of the ballot filtered down to the state House. The DFL has held some of the local House seat’s geographic areas before, though they have been held mostly by Republicans since 2000. House boundary lines were redrawn in 2012. Former state Rep. Phil Sterner represented the Rosemount-Apple Valley area for one term from 2009-2010 (District 37B) and Shelley Madore served the Apple Valley area from 2007-2008 (District 37A).

Kids ‘n Kinship hosts an afternoon of fun

Photo submitted

Kids ‘n Kinship hosted its annual pool party at the Burnsville YMCA on Sunday, Nov. 3. A “good representation” of the program’s mentor matches and wait list families enjoyed an afternoon of fun, activities and food, according to Project Manager Debbie Andrews. “Included in the day was access to the YMCA pool for free swim, an opportunity to gather and play a board game, as well as free gym time to play basketball or toss a football,” she said. Additionally Kids ‘n Kinship was able to provide a free store of personal care items led by a longtime volunteer and mentor to anyone in need. Andrews said the event and others hosted by Kids ‘n Kinship through the year help strengthen connections and develop strong community for participants and community partners. Kids ‘n Kinship, located in Apple Valley, provides mentoring friendship to youth ages 5-16 who are in need of a positive role model. Info: www.kidsnkinship.org.

Lakeville crash leaves three injured Police investigate A crash on Nov. 5 in Lakeville left three people injured. According to a news release from the Lakeville Police Department, three people were found injured when police were called to Dodd Boulevard near Franchise Way at 3:43 p.m. It was reported a Dodge Journey traveling southbound crossed the centerline and struck a Honda Fit going northbound. A Jeep Liberty was also traveling northbound and struck a tree

causing damage. The driver of the Honda Fit was airlifted to North Memorial Medical Center by North AirCare. The driver of the Jeep Liberty is in critical condition and was transported by Allina Ambulance along with the other driver to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, the news release states. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation by the Lakeville Police Department. The Minnesota State Patrol will be assisting with the

crash reconstruction. “While the cause of this crash remains under investigation, Lakeville Police would like to remind drivers that Daylight Savings is a dangerous time on the roadway. Drivers are urged to buckle up, slow down and use extra caution. The week after the time change can often lead to tired drivers,” the news release states.
