Twelve Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan students advance to finals by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 stood out at the state debate tournament on Jan. 12-13 at the University of Minnesota. Of the 21 District 196 students who qualified for the Section 3 tournament, 12 of them advanced to final rounds of competition and two of them walked away state champions. Eagan senior Nautica Flowers earned the state champion title in Congressional Debate. This is the first year the MSHSL state tournament has hosted Congressional Debate, and Nautica became the state’s first champion in the category. In Congressional Debate, students work as if they were senators or representatives to pass pieces of

legislation. They are judged on their participation and contributions. Flowers competed in Public Forum during her freshman and sophomore years, but switched to Congressional her junior year. In her second year of competition in the category, she said she’s had a better understanding of legislative bodies and lobbying. She said she went into the state tournament with clear strategies. “I couldn’t let my nerves control me, and I can’t worry about what others think about me,� she said. She said she hadn’t seen many of her opponents in competition before, so she didn’t know their strengths and weaknesses. Going in without as much information about the other competitors, however, allowed her to focus on performing her best.

When Twin Cities freelance musician, composer and director George Maurer was a student at Valley Middle School in the late 70s, one of his friends formed a band. Even though the group was just a garage band that covered ’50s music, “that was a distinct moment for me,� said Maurer, who will play with one of his bands, Collective Unconscious, on Saturday in Lakeville. “I was struck by someone, a kid like me, who put together their own band. I filed that one away in my head.� By that point in his young life, Maurer had already had a variety of musical experiences living in Apple Valley from 1969 to 1978. Piano lessons, sing-

When the family moved to Pennsylvania in 1978, Maurer said they didn’t have youth hockey there, so he ended up concentrating on music.

Breaking Free educates Apple Valley businesses Organization offers resources to women in days leading up to Super Bowl

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On Thursday, Jan. 11 Apple Valley Business Watch hosted “The Dynamics of Sex Trafficking� from 8-10 a.m. at the Apple Valley Senior Center. The free event featured a presentation from Breaking Free Executive Director Terry Forliti about the problem of sex trafficking and the ways it affects south of the river communities. As January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, Apple Valley Business Watch brought in a representative from Breaking Free to help business owners learn more about the sex work industry and how to help people who are trapped in it. Breaking Free is a nonprofit organization serving women involved in systems of abuse, exploitation and prostitution, also known as sex trafficking. The organization was established in October 1996 by Vednita Carter. Forliti began her presentation by providing a bit of the history and background of the organization, before launching into some of the details of sex trafficking in Minnesota and, in particular, the greater Twin Cities area. “This doesn’t just happen in the inner city or in disenfranchised areas,� she said. “Although it can be more prevalent there, it happens in all communities.� Forliti said that although sex work has been glorified in some movies and shows, sex trafficking is a form of modern day slavery focused on power and control that often leads to violence against women and girls, especially sexual

Breaking Free Executive Director Terry Forliti gave a presentation on Thursday, Jan. 11 from 8-10 a.m. at the Apple Valley Senior Center called “The Dynamics of Sex Trafficking.� Apple Valley Business Watch organized and hosted the event. abuse. “Julia Roberts didn’t do us any favors with ‘Pretty Woman,’� said Forliti, a former woman in prostitution. With the largest inland harbor on the planet, an unprotected northern border and access to super highways and connecting major truck stop routes, Minnesota continues to be involved in the sex trafficking industry, Forliti said. She said that thinking of working in the sex industry as a choice is dangerous because it ignores the lack of agency, power and control of most women who work in it. “This is not a profession, it is an oppression,� she said. Minnesota law is making it easier for authorities to crack down on people who purchase sexual services, Forliti said. While federal law requires proving force, fraud or coercion is involved, Minnesota law is more open and considers cases of people trafficked

by any means regardless of age. Breaking Free offers a “John School� — educational sessions for people who were caught purchasing sexual services. These classes teach men about the history of sex trafficking in Minnesota, how women are forced into the industry and why it is so hard for them to leave. Still, sex trafficking continues in Minnesota and throughout the world, Forliti said, because it continues to be a multi billiondollar industry. “With drugs, when you sell them they are gone, but women can be sold over and over and over again,� she said. She said rather than asking why women don’t “just leave,� it’s more important to think about why women’s bodies are being bought and sold. She spoke of the importance of believing women in prostitution when they seek help, even if their stories don’t completely add up.

“We dissociate because we don’t want to remember,� she said. “When we talk about our experiences and it isn’t totally accurate, it doesn’t mean they are lying – it means that’s how we are recalling it.� In preparation for the Super Bowl, Breaking Free will be open 24 hours a day for 10 days leading up to the big game. Breaking Free employees will be wearing hats that identify them as a resource for people who need to get off the streets to avoid violence. The organization has obtained extra beds and it is working with local churches to secure more places for people to sleep if they need it. Forliti said that although people are concerned about an increased demand for sex work services during the days leading up to the game, she said she doesn’t want to give football players a bad reputation because she didn’t have statistics to prove a Super Bowl brings more demand for prostitution than any other large public event. Concerts and conventions can also increase the demand. Still, Breaking Free employees are preparing to take people in, and the organization hopes its outreach will be effective in getting women out of violent situations. This isn’t only work for people in the Twin Cities. Forliti said that it is important to look for the signs of someone who might be trapped in the industry, such as: not making eye contact, showing signs of abuse, claiming to be visiting the area or acting fearful, anxious, submissive or paranoid.

Gary Huusko hands off baton

Former School Board member recognized for six years of service

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board meeting Monday, Jan. 8, the board welcomed Craig Angrimson to his first meeting as an official member. They also took a few moments to recognize Gary Huusko for his six years of service that ended after Angrimson earned more votes than Huusko this fall. Superintendent Jane Berenz outlined some of Huusko’s accomplishments. She said that in 2011, when Huusko was appointed to the board for the first time, he helped guide the district through several years of difficult budget cuts. In 2013 the voters elected Huusko, and he helped pass a levy referendum with overwhelming approval. She also recognized his work in communicating with voters during the 2015 election about the need to invest in new technologies. “You have provided excellent leadership on the School Board and are an outstanding ambassador for District 196,� Berenz said. “I’m sorry to see you leaving the board but happy

Opinion Dayton-Fishbach pairing could lead to bipartisan efforts by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In December, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton met with State Senate President Michelle Fischbach, lunching on walleye and hot fudge sundaes. Today, both are key players in a very unique political struggle, centered on the very unusual situation of having our state’s governor and lieutenant governor of opposite parties. When Lt. Gov. Tina Smith was appointed to the U.S. Senate, the office of lieutenant governor, by state statute, was filled by the president of the State Senate, Fischbach. After that lunch, Dayton said: “I don’t think it will surprise anyone, when we disagree; however, that should not prevent us from having a constructive working relationship. She readily agreed. We also agreed to look for areas where we could work cooperatively together, and she suggested elder care.” I chuckled when I first read that statement. Isn’t it funny how tough it is to agree on anything? Then it made me mad. Is it really that difficult to find topics that a DFL governor and a Republican lieutenant governor could work together on?

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken

Elder care is certainly one topic that I think everyone should feel strongly about. We’ve heard the horror stories of the elderly being abused, tormented and sexually assaulted in care facilities throughout the state. We’ve heard charges that these situations are often not reported to authorities and never investigated. Yes, absolutely, we should all agree that providing a safe environment for our elderly population is a priority. So, I started thinking – what other things could this politically split team of Dayton and Fischbach work on? How about making “farm to table” a Minnesota commitment? Our urban areas are overrun with new restaurants and fanatic foodies. Our farmers have been struggling with low commodity prices. Can we build stronger markets for all?

And what about that awful achievement gap we talk about every year but just can’t seem to crack. It is in the best interest of everyone to have a well-educated workforce in the pipelines, to fill skilled positions that are begging for workers. If we can actually narrow that gap among children, the prospect for skilled workers for the future is brighter. I would bet that almost all of you would add transportation to the list. Whether we are city folks who sit for endless hours on clogged highways, or rural residents who see their local bridges crumbling, we need long-term solutions and planning to ease congestion and to fix deteriorating infrastructure. I believe that’s as true in Bloomington as it is in Cambridge, and all parts in between. And this one conjures up many political divides, but isn’t it fair to say that we all want our families, friends and neighbors to live healthy lives? Shouldn’t everyone have access to quality and affordable health care? Water should be another topic that every Minnesota should care deeply about. We need to protect our precious aquifers, preserve quality drinking water, and keep our lakes and rivers teeming with fish for the sportsmen and women, and crystal

clear water for kayakers. We also want to find solutions to keeping agriculture runoff to a minimum without destroying the farm economy. Agreed? This unique situation of partisan state leadership may not even materialize. Fischbach and fellow Republicans have argued that she can do both jobs. DFLers have argued that is not possible. So far, Fischbach won’t take the oath of office and Democratic leaders are pursuing legal action to force the question. Perhaps my dream of using this very unusual situation to generate some real bipartisan cooperation is unrealistic. No doubt 2018 is going to have many very-hotly contested races with some distasteful name-calling. As we begin this wild election year, maybe the voters can all agree that we will hold all candidates accountable to real solutions rather than endless rhetoric, pushing Minnesota into better days ahead. We can dream, can’t we? Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers. Reactions welcome: peggy.bakken@ecminc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

January is a great month to save money on college by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

January is a great month for students and families to save thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. I’m not talking about discounts available on various consumer products. Many Minnesota eighth- through 11th-graders will register in January for their 2018-19 school year classes. Minnesota has terrific options, outlined below, that allow these students to take collegelevel classes at their high schools, on college campuses and online. Wise students will sign up for one or more classes that can earn them free, or virtually free, college credit. Doing so has many benefits beyond money. The Center for School Change (where I work) website includes research showing that many students taking one or more high school-college dual-credit courses develop what studies call “academic momentum.” Students have strong skills, more confidence and greater drive. This helps: – Increase the likelihood that students will graduate from high school. – Increase the likelihood that students will not just enter some form of postsecondary education but earn a certificate or diploma. That expands their job and career options. – Reduce the need for students to take remedial courses in college. That research is here: http://bit. ly/2CuV3KZ.

Among the options available in Minnesota include: – Advanced Placement courses, offered in high schools. Depending on students’ skills, they may be permitted to take such courses as early as the ninth grade. The amount of credit earned will depend on how well a student does on a final test administered by the College Board, a national group that creates and monitors AP. There’s no cost for the class but a charge for taking the exam. – College in the Schools/Concurrent Enrollment, offered in high schools in cooperation with various Minnesota colleges and universities. Students who pass these courses receive college credit at many colleges and universities. State law permits students starting in the ninth grade to take these courses if both the high school and college believe students are ready. There is no cost to students for these classes. – International Baccalaureate courses, offered in high schools. Generally, these courses are offered to high school juniors and seniors. There are two levels

of courses. Many colleges award credit to students who score well on the final examination. There’s no charge for the course but a modest charge for taking the final exam. – Project Lead the Way, a national program that offers college-level courses at various grades in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Again, no cost, but there’s a modest charge for taking the final exam. – Postsecondary Enrollment Options allows students, starting in the 10th grade, to take courses either on college campuses or online. A 2017 change in the PSEO law requires high schools to offer space and technology for students who want to take online PSEO courses. PSEO courses are available in applied, technical fields and in more traditional academic areas. There is no charge to take the courses. Transportation funds are available to help students from low-income families participate. These courses are available to all Minnesota students who can meet entrance requirements of the college or university they want to attend. – College Level Exam Program allows high schools students of various grades to earn credit by passing an exam in 33 areas. There is a cost for the test. – Early/Middle College Program: This is the newest option. Some high schools have created collaborative programs on college campuses for students who may not qualify for traditional PSEO courses. There is no charge for participating

students of various grades. More than 60 of these programs have been created throughout the state. Minnesota Department of Education offers information about many of these programs here: http://bit.ly/2EPlhWS. The Center for School Change also offers a one page summary: http://bit. ly/1KcRbI3. At the Legislature’s request, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education studied dual credit acceptance policies at Minnesota colleges and universities. MOHE’s detailed report is available here: http://bit.ly/2qfkMlH. Many high school students will find dual-credit classes are quite challenging. Please consider this when deciding how many you want to take. Nevertheless, there are many benefits. A national study published in 2017 found that the average Minnesota college loan is more than $31,000, which ranked sixth highest in the country. But as mentioned above, saving money isn’t the only reason for dual-credit courses. This is the perfect month for students to consider signing up for one or more of these very valuable courses.

Letters It’s only halftime To the editor: The game’s not over. We’re losing badly, but don’t go home yet. You bet the farm on this one, so it’s time to wake up. The first half was payback time. They cashed in, big time; hundreds-to-one or thousands-to-one on their Dark Money. What’s $10,000 or a $100,000 or more when billions are on the line. The donors of the investor-class got everything they wanted — a 40 percent tax cut (35 percent down to 21 percent). Not that they ever paid 35 percent; loopholes reduced that substantially. And they got to keep all their loopholes in the bargain. For the working class, not so clear. Those tax changes are complicated enough to obscure the interactions

and indirect effects; complexity is a tool of deceit. Distraction is another, so don’t look away. What’s in their playbook for the second half ? Who’s they? It’s only fair to know the name of the other team, though most fans haven’t figured it out yet. You’re playing against the neoliberals (alias libertarians) who have hijacked the Establishment GOP party and radicalized it beyond recognition. They now have a lock on at least two of the three branches of government. Conservatives, where are you? Some of the better known names would be Ayn Rand, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Charles Koch, Paul Ryan, and Mike Pence. They have elevated the notion of the “invisible hand of the market” to the keystone of their ideology. That keystone is

the “greed-is-good” market-control mechanism that they believe should replace government and its disruptive regulations. The market alone sorts out the virtuous winners, who rise to the top, from the undeserving lazy, who fall to the bottom where they belong. Sounds cruel and ridiculous? Not to true believers, whose next play is to dismantle the safety net that has been built up over the last hundred years: Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, labor laws. They will do that by starving the beast with deficits, and then claiming that there’s no money for such programs. A stark statement? Keep your eye on the game. RAY LARSON Eagan

Attend a caucus To the editor: Precinct caucuses are coming. They will be held by the Minnesota political parties on Feb. 6. What does that mean for you? Well, in a few words – whatever you want it to be. Although caucuses are operated by the state political parties, anyone can participate. If you like a particular party candidate, the best way to help him or her is to attend your precinct caucus and begin the process of getting that candidate endorsed and elected. Caucuses are too often shrouded in mystery. The idea of the smoke filled rooms is long gone. Now,

the idea of the caucus is to encourage grassroots (individual) participation in our entire political process. Minnesota has a caucus for party business and candidate endorsements and an open primary to get a candidate on the official November ballot. A caucus begins the party endorsement process as a means to say which candidate the majority of the party supports. An endorsement does not mean your candidate is on the November ballot (the primary determines that), but it does give that candidate a structure of support heading into the primary. Participating in caucuses is also a means of influencing issues. You

can introduce a resolution (an issue statement about something you are passionate about) at the caucus which, if approved by a majority of caucus attendees, can move up the ladder to the conventions and maybe get into, for instance, the Democratic party action agenda. Caucuses have not changed. New regulations affect presidential candidate selection, but for state and local candidates, this is the same process we have always had. Attend your caucus on Feb. 6. Learn, participate, and get active. ROXANNE MINDEMAN Apple Valley

The Eastview and Apple Valley boys swimming and diving teams dueled in a South Suburban Conference meet last Friday at Falcon Ridge Middle School. Among the top varsity performers were Eastview’s Evan Gray, who was runner-up to Apple Valley’s Max Larkin in the 100-yard freestyle, and Jakob Fossen of Apple Valley, who placed first in the 100 breaststroke. Eastview won 98-80 and improved to 5-0 in conference meets.

Two teams that have not been accustomed to battling for first place in South Suburban Conference boys hockey will do so Saturday. South Suburban leader Rosemount will take on Eastview at 2 p.m. Saturday at Apple Valley Sports Arena. Eastview could tie Rosemount for first place with a victory. Neither team has won the South Suburban Conference since it formed in 2010. Rosemount has never had a winning record in the league but is likely to do so this year, having won eight of its first nine games. Rosemount improved to 13-2 overall and 8-1 in conference play after shutting out Farmington 5-0 on Tuesday. Eastview is 7-2 in the league and 13-3 overall after surviving a Prior Lake rally and winning 7-6. Eastview had a four-goal lead in the first period and a five-goal lead in the second before holding off the Lakers’ rally. Rosemount goalie Ben Gar-

rity earned his second consecutive shutout Tuesday, making 25 saves against Farmington. Connor Kenefick scored two goals and had one assist for the Irish. Kenefick is the team’s scoring leader with 21 points (14 goals, seven assists). Nate Borden had two goals and three assists in Eastview’s victory over Prior Lake. Zach Anderson scored twice. Eastview won the first game between the teams 5-1 on Dec. 5 as Ryan Quaintance and Josh Eernisse scored twice each. It is Rosemount’s only loss in conference play.

points for the Panthers. Owen Blascziek had 14 points and Tyler Wahl added 11 for North, 11-2 overall. Lakeville South is 8-4 overall after defeating Burnsville 77-59 on Tuesday. Four Cougars players scored in double figures, led by Beau Bailey with 19 points. Shae Mitchell had 17, Cooper Jackson 15 and Riley Mahlman 13. This is the first meeting of the season between the Lakeville teams. In girls basketball, Lakeville North and Lakeville South are tied for second in the South Suburban at 5-2. Farmington also is 5-2 in league play; the leaders are chasing No. 1-ranked Eastview (7-0). Prior Lake upset Lakeville North 76-73 on Tuesday. North had 22 points from guard Lauren Jensen and 19 from guard Analiese Tschida. Taylor Brown and Ke James had 14 points each. Lakeville South beat Burnsville 71-60 on Tuesday as Anna Harvey scored 15 points and Bianca Biffert and Bailey Biffert scored 14 each.

The South Suburban Conference lead also will be at stake Friday when Lakeville North plays at Lakeville South at 7:15 p.m. Both teams are 5-0 in conference play after winning on Tuesday. Friday’s game is the second of a girls-boys doubleheader; the North and South girls basketball teams play at 5:30. Lakeville North’s boys defeated Prior Lake 75-70 on Tuesday after trailing by one point at halftime. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike. Junior guard Tommy Jensen had 25 shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

of golf’s Ryder Cup, pits a North American team (The U.S. and Canada) against a team representing the rest of the world. North American won this year’s event 30.5-30 on a tiebreaker. The U.S. Olympic curlers are competing in the Canadian Open this week. On Jan. 30, they leave for training in Japan. They arrive in the athlete village in South Korea on Feb. 4. Canada is the reigning women’s Olympic team champion, with Sweden winning the silver medals in 2014 and Great Britain taking bronze. Curling has been part of the Winter Olympics since 1992. Peterson is a two-time U.S. junior national champion and was on the firstplace team at the 2012 U.S. nationals. She has competed in the Women’s World Championship four times. She and Polo were bronze medalists in the 2016 World Mixed Doubles. Peterson, an Eagan High School graduate, did all that while studying at the University of Minnesota and beginning a career as a pharmacist. “I’ve gone back to parttime,” she said. “I was gone 80 days last year for tournaments, and I don’t have that much vacation time. My employer has been really good about letting me go to tournaments.” Peterson’s sister Tara is a three-time U.S. Junior champion and 2014 national champion. Tara Peterson did not attempt to qualify for the Olympics this year because she is completing dental school. Tabitha Peterson is in her third year as a vice skip. She described that position as “kind of the go-between” between Roth, who will shoot from the opposite end of the rink, and Geving and Hamilton, whose sweeping maneuvers stones into position. Matches can last three hours or more. Strategy changes constantly and the mental demands are great. USA Curling has made greater use of sports psychologists, and Peterson said she believes they have helped. After starting in the sport at age 10, Peterson said she can’t imagine not curling. But competing at the national and international levels is a different proposition. “It’s truly a lifetime sport,” she said. “At the highest level, right around 40 is there age where you start to think, ‘OK, I might be done with this.’ But I can see myself trying for the Olympics again in 2022 because there’s nothing like representing your country.”

Almost 20 years ago, the Peterson family thought a trip to the St. Paul Curling Club would be something fun they could do together. It still is, but when they go to a curling rink next month it’ll be halfway around the world. They will gather in Pyeongchang, South Korea, to watch Tabitha Peterson try to help the U.S. win its first Winter Olympic women’s curling medal. Tabitha Peterson, an Eagan native, is vice skip of the U.S. team. The opening ceremony is Feb. 9; women’s curling team competition runs Feb. 14 through Feb. 25. It’s the first Olympic trip for Peterson, 28, who has been competing internationally since 2006 and was a bronze medalist at the World Junior Championships in 2010. “I think it’s going to be 14 (family members and friends) going over there,” Peterson said. “I think we’ll have one day when all of the team members can get together with their families.” Nina Roth of McFarland, Wisconsin, is skip of the U.S. women’s team, which won a tense bestof-three duel against the Jamie Sinclair team at the U.S. Olympic Trials in November in Omaha, Nebraska. Team Roth won 7-6 in the deciding game. Aileen Geving of Duluth and Becca Hamilton of McFarland, Wisconsin, also are on Team Roth, and Cory Christensen of Duluth is the alternate. Team Roth finished fifth at the 2017 Women’s World Championship, and Peterson said the team members believe an Olympic medal is realistic. “We’ve beaten all the top teams in the world except one,” Peterson said. After the 2014 Winter Olympics, USA Curling changed how it developed teams. The national organization took responsibility for assembling teams rather than leaving it up to the athletes. Peterson had three different teammates in the 2014 U.S. Olympic Trials. “The men’s and women’s teams have been higher in the world rankings since USA Curling did this four years ago,” Peterson said. “We’re currently ranked 11th in the world and Jamie (Sinclair) is 15th. Four years ago we were 30th or lower.” Since the women’s trials, Peterson has competed in teammate Joe Polo in the U.S. Olympic Mixed Doubles Curling Trials (won by Becca and Matt Hamilton) and competed in the Continental Cup of Curling in London, Ontar- Contact Mike Shaughnessy io.

DEBATE, from 1A arise. He said he saw Flowers improve significantly throughout her junior year, and she hit the ground running this year with her eyes set on a successful season. “In debate, you have to do a lot of work just to be average. Students get this hunger in their eyes to be better,” he said. “They work hard to develop skills because they want to be better.” Flowers plans to study African American studies at the University of Minnesota. She hopes to be a professor of African American studies one day. Through debate, she’s spent time arguing for different pieces of legislation, and she said the experience has shown her that each bill affects different groups of people differently. “Winning the championship felt freeing,” she said. “It felt like going out with a bang.” She thanked Eichele for all of his work in helping her become better at argumentation and public speaking. “He’s the greatest coach ever,” she said. Apple Valley senior Kenan Anderson defended his title and became the state champion in LincolnDouglas debate for the second year in a row. In this category, students compete one-on-one. They make a speech constructing their argument, offer up rebuttals and engage in crossexamination. In the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, he de-

feated students from Minnetonka and St. Croix Prep by scores of 2-1 and 3-2. In the championship, Anderson earned a 6-1 win over his opponent from Robbinsdale Armstrong. In 2017, Anderson won his state final found with a score of 7-0. He said going into the state tournament this year he felt more pressure than the previous year. He felt that all the competitors had done more research on the topic than in the past, and he was a little shaken after winning second place at sections a few weeks before. After his 2017 win, he wanted to stretch himself further. He spent about half of his 2017-18 season traveling to compete in tournaments around the nation, including Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. “I had proven my hand at the Minnesota state tournament, but I wanted to prove myself on the circuit,” he said. This is the first year his coach, Nick Smith, has worked with Apple Valley High School. He’s been impressed with Anderson’s work ethic and growth. “He works super hard,” Smith said. “I just let him loose and he unleashes and goes for it.” For Anderson, preparation is key. He is currently taking classes at the University of Minnesota, and he’s scheduled them so he can dedicate his weekends to debate. He spends hours each week researching and writing, and he particularly enjoys forming arguments rooted in studies and statis-

tics. The night before each tournament, he calms his nerves by doing more research. “My perennial fear is not public speaking, it is that someone is going to start reading an argument I’ve not thought of or researched,” he said. Anderson said debate is important because it teaches people to think from multiple perspectives and angles. He has to know both sides of every argument inside and out so he’ll be ready to make a strong case for himself and know what to expect from his opponents. “Too many people believe in too many things too strongly,” he said. “Debate teaches increased empathy. Even if I don’t agree with my opponent, I can understand why they are making their argument.” Anderson hopes to study economics at Princeton or the University of Minnesota, and he’s interested in studying writing as well. He hopes to stay involved in debate by judging or coaching in the future, as he’d like to pay forward his gratitude for all the people who have taken time to judge and coach him over the years. “So many adults take time out of their day to listen to teenagers talk,” he said. “Having adults listen to you makes you feel valued.” Both Flowers and Anderson will compete in a few other tournaments, including the Tournament of Champions in May and Nationals in June.

Holistic health center offers services for mind and body By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

As a two-time cancer survivor herself, Kathryn Cashman knows how important it is to have quality, convenient services available. “So many of us were looking for a place where the services would be all under one roof and would be coordinated for you,” Cashman said. “When you have cancer, you feel horrible, you have a gazillion appointments and you want to be well taken care of.” So Cashman, who has been a psychologist in the south metro area for 28 years, founded a center in 2011 that offers those integrated services. “I had great support, and I want other people to know what a difference it makes,” Cashman said. A licensed psychologist with more than 30 years of experience, Cashman is the CEO/ clinical director of Cashman Center in Burnsville, an integrative mental health center incorporating multiple modalities into each client’s individualized treatment. The center’s six-week “Living

Well with Cancer” program, be- and October. gun in 2014, is an integral part “Major benefits to people goof the center. Eight participants ing through chemotherapy and radiation are that it helps reduce pain, helps people sleep and eat better, and reduces anxiety and depression,” Cashman said. “Those are really huge benefits.” The sessions are led by Dr. Jamie Teunis, a doctoral-level mental health nurse practitioner, Cashman said. She incorporates spirituality, nutrition, and storytelling. “Dr. Teunis has a heart for people with cancer,” Cashman said. The group therapy gives participants ages 25-80 a chance to talk and share their experiences. “It’s great for senior citizens,” Cashman said. “They can take the bus; it’s covered by Medicare and they get great services.” Other therapies include acuKathryn Cashman, a licensed psypuncture, massage, Reiki and chologist, is the CEO/clinical director yoga. of Cashman Center in Burnsville, an “People have just reported integrative mental health center. such better health,” Cashman said. “One of our participants who have been referred by doc- said, ‘Western medicine saved tors, nurses or word of mouth, my life; Eastern medicine gave meet from 4 to 6:30 p.m. each me life.’” Tuesday for six weeks for group Another client said, “Attendtherapy, holistic therapy and ing the Living Well With Cancer small group sessions.

The group therapy helped me feel less alone and gave me more coping skills. Six weeks later and I still maintain the positive energy I received from this experience. I highly recommend the program.” The BioMat, according to its website, is “an FDA licensed medical device that combines state of the art Far Infrared light and Negative Ion technology with the healing power of Amethyst crystal.” . According to the internet, “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands, and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.” The Cashman Center does

It’s time to speak out against elder abuse Who would want to hurt a sweet little old lady? Or steal from a harmless old curmudgeon? Apparently, a lot of people do. According to the Minnesota Elder Justice Center, one in ten adults over 60 is a victim of elder abuse. Worse yet, a recent study sponsored by Allianz Insurance indicates an even higher incidence. The research found nearly one-third of elderly Americans have been vic-

timized by some form of financial fraud alone. “It’s clear that elder financial abuse is becoming more commonplace, and, it appears to be greater than we thought in scope and impact,” explained Allianz CEO Walter White.To make matters worse, the perpetrators of financial exploitation of senior citizens are often family members, friends or other trusted adults who have an existing on-

going relationship with the victim. What kind of society robs from its own grandmas and grandpas? The truth is we don’t know the full extent of physical, mental, emotional or financial elder abuse, because masses of cases go unreported and undetected. Many victims remain in denial, are too embarrassed or ashamed to admit their vulnerability, are afraid of retalia-

individual plans and testing for each of its clients, Cashman said. “We integrate holistic pieces into the treatment plan,” he said. “We’re unique in that way.” Cashman grew up with a mentally handicapped sister and said, “I always wanted to help others.” A graduate of the College of St. Benedict and St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, Cashman now has a blended family that includes six grown children and eight grandchildren. Dr. Jamie Teunis previously was a psychiatric/mental health registered nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, a registered nurse at the University of Minnesota Medical Center Fairview, and a hematology/oncology registered nurse at the University of Chicago Medicine. She has a doctorate of nursing, psychiatric/mental health nurse/nursing from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor of science degree in nursing from Winona State University.

Education District 196 School Board approves contract with teachers and nurses The District 196 School Board, at a special Jan. 16 meeting, approved a new two-year agreement with members of Dakota County United Educators (DCUE), representing the more than 2,000 teachers and school nurses in the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan Public Schools. DCUE members ratified the tentative agreement in a membership vote Jan. 11. The approved contract is retroactive to July 1, 2017 and runs through June 30, 2019. It provides a 2.45 percent improvement to the salary and longevity schedules each year, and a 2 percent increase in the district contribution to health care insurance in the first year of the contract and a 1 percent increase in the second year. A first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree will earn $40,898 under the contract this year, while an experienced teacher with a master’s degree at the top of the schedule will earn $75,163 in base salary and up to $7,917 in longevity pay. “I am pleased to have a settlement that will keep us competitive in attracting and retaining the

best teachers at a time when there is an increasing shortage of teachers,� said Superintendent Jane K. Berenz. “We are a district of choice because of the high-quality people we have working with our students.�

District 196 Career Development teacher recognized Service, smiles and spreading joy are essential elements for students in Patsy Keech’s hospitality management courses at Eagan High School. “The best part of my job is helping students make joy and bring joy Patsy into our school,� Keech said Keech, who has taught in District 196 for 22 years. “From hosting community events to decorating the school, these students utilize skills they don’t often make use of in the traditional classroom. They are helping make our school a special place that promotes community, positivity and emotion.� Keech’s positive promotion and teaching talents have earned her the firstever Hospitality and Tourism Management Program Educator of Excellence Award from the Minne-

sota Lodging Association. The award was established to recognize one Minnesota teacher each year who exhibits exemplary teaching to prepare students for careers in the hospitality industry. Keech received the award Jan. 11 at the association’s annual awards program in St. Paul. “I am honored,� Keech said. “Helping to prepare students for success in the hospitality industry is such a fun and rewarding job.� Keech teaches event planning, travel and tourism, and hotel and restaurant as part of the year-long hospitality management course at Eagan High. She also teaches an advanced course that offers hands-on learning through job shadows and internships with local hospitality businesses. Hospitality management is part of the district’s Career Development Program, which also offers courses in animal science, aviation, computers and networking technology, emergency services, forensic science, medical and health care, music production, vehicle services and a mentor experience. Each of the courses is offered at one of the district’s high schools but they are open to all District 196 high school students.

In addition to her work as a teacher, Keech founded a national nonprofit organization that provides assistance to families in crisis with critically ill or seriously injured children through housing grant payment assistance, engaged resource referral and advocacy. She and husband, Robb, founded Spare Key in memory of their son Derian, a courageous young boy with a joyful spirit who faced many surgeries during his short lifetime. Family, friends and strangers raised money to pay their mortgage so Patsy and Robb could be with Derian in the hospital until the day he died. They vowed to help families facing similar situations and founded Spare Key in 1997.

Curling is sport of choice for Columbia Heights man By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

John Gordon has enjoyed the sport of curling since 1977, when his exfather-in-law in Superior, Wisconsin, said he was looking for players. “He was a pretty accomplished player,� Gordon said. “I started playing recreationally then. Curling was a very popular game in Superior in the early 1970s. It’s still popular there. It’s a hotbed of curling.� His steady playing and love for the sport resulted in Gordon’s being a two-time Olympian. “When curling became an Olympic sport, there was a special tournament to qualify,� Gordon said. “You qualified by doing well in the state, district and regions.� “When I competed, nobody selected you,� he said. “You formed your own team and qualified or not. It was all decided on the ice.�

Now, a committee for U.S. Curling selects the athletes and puts the teams together, he said. “They evaluate you on your onand off-ice ability, compatibility and sports psychology,� Gordon said. He added that while more than 50 countries have curling, only 10 countries make the Olympics. “The host country gets in automatically,� he said. “The rest of the spots have to be earned.� Gordon was on the first Olympic curling team, the XVIII Winter Olympics (1998) in Nagano, Japan. He was one of 2,176 participants from 72 nations that year. The team captured fourth place. After his team qualified for Japan, the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Valentine’s Day front cover showed a photo of Gordon getting a kiss from his wife. He also was a member of the XIX Winter Olym-

pics curling team in 2002, in Salt Lake City, one of 2,400 athletes from 78 nations. That team tied for sixth place. “Those are pretty moving experiences,� Gordon said. “They’re life-changing.� He said most of the curling team players came from Minnesota and Wisconsin, though some were from the East Coast (New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.). “When I played, Wisconsin had the most competitive curlers,� Gordon said. Gordon and his wife moved to Columbia Heights in 1995, built a house behind the high school, and raised four children. They now have four grandchildren. Curling is still part of their lives. Gordon is a member of the Four Seasons Curling Club at Fogerty Arena in Blaine. “It’s like a regular league that

meets weekly,â€? he said. “It’s been fun. Everywhere you go, everyone is friendly. It’s a lot like golf. No one roots for you to do badly. Everyone gets along.â€? Gordon’s wife, Denise, a lifelong Columbia Heights resident who has done some curling, too, is the team administrator, in charge of making the group’s travel and hotel arrangements for tournaments. A Wisconsin native, Gordon said he worked originally for 30 years as a printer and pressman.

stints at Home Depot and Slumberland, he said. “I’m winding down now,� he said. “Four months ago we sold our house. We’re doing home care for my father-in-law, who had hip replacement surgery.� Although special shoes are needed for curling – plus a long-handled brush – Gordon says the rest can be as simple as wearing loose-fitting clothing and finding three other people who want to play. There are mixed leagues as well as all-men or allwomen teams, according to Gordon. “It’s a very active sport; you’re moving pretty good,� Gordon said. “It’s good cardio for the heart and lungs.� When he’s not involved with curling, Gordon says he does some working out and a lot of walking, and

h i h i he swims three times a week. “If you don’t stay active, you get rusty,� he said. “Rust never sleeps. It keeps moving.� Instructional sessions are available at Fogerty Arena for people who want to learn curling, Gordon said. “They have beginning leagues,� he said. WHAT IS CURLING? According to the internet, curling requires a long, narrow sheet of ice with a marked target area, called the house, at each end. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding 42-pound granite stones to the far side of the ice sheet. The objective is to get your stones closest to the center button of the house. The teams alternate throws toward the circular target. The object is to have more stones closer to the center than your op-

ponent after all 16 stones have been thrown. Participants wear curling shoes that are similar to ordinary athletic shoes except that they have dissimilar soles; the slider shoe has a Teflon sole and is worn by the thrower. The gripper is worn by the thrower on the back foot during delivery and is designed to grip the ice. Players also use curling brushes, usually with hollow tubes, that may have fabric, hog hair, or horsehair heads. According to the internet, the sport is popular all across Canada, in the northern U.S. states, in Scotland, in the Scandinavian countries, in the northern European countries and increasingly in the Far East. It can be played by people of all ages and skill levels with a minimum of equipment, according to the internet. Curling has been an official sport in the Winter Olympic Games since the 1998 Winter Olympics. It currently includes men’s and women’s tournaments. Mixed doubles have been added to the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang County, South Korea.

ASSAULT, from 1A gust 1972 through August 1981 and as audio/visual librarian from August 1981 until August 1993. This is not the first time Schroeder has been accused of sexually assaulting a teen. Eagan police arrested Schroeder in 1991 after information arose that he had sexually assaulted a teenage boy. Schroeder pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct and was sentenced to 45 days in jail with 10 years of probation.

Apple Valley police also investigated Schroeder in 1991 after a student alleged they had been sexually assaulted by Schroeder as well. “(The Apple Valley Police department) investigated regarding inappropriate behavior at Valley Middle, complaints were forwarded to the school district and they completed their own investigation on violation of their own rules,� Capt. Nick Francis said. According to District 196, there are no complaints in Schroeder’s em-

ployee file. “The school district, once they were made aware of it, made sure this person was not in a position to have contact with students,� Francis said. Francis said the Apple Valley Police Department and District 196 work together to keep students safe. “For a number of years, the school district and police department have worked very well together and worked very closely,� he said. “Any time a complaint is made about an incident that takes place

on school property involving a District 196 employee, they have been good about sharing information throughout the investigation.� He said that moving forward with Schroeder’s investigation, his teams are working with the laws, rules and policies from the 1970s and 1980s. “We can’t hold people to laws that were enacted after the fact,� Francis said. At press time, four more people had come forward with information about Schroeder.

“We are still working through whether they are complaints that took place in Apple Valley or elsewhere,� Francis said. “A couple of these didn’t report a crime, but rather a suspicion.� Francis said the Apple Valley police department is investigating the complaint that occurred when Schroeder worked in, and lived in, Apple Valley. “The original complaint was made about an incident that took place in Apple Valley,� Francis said. “We are continuing to investigate that inci-

Senior abuse largely unreported due to fear, shame other forms as well. Based on this data, it’s almost certain that I know someone who has experienced elder abuse. You probably do too. Yet, I don’t know who these victims are. The victims may not know it themselves. Maybe no one knows. Someone should know! That’s the only way that this societal sickness will be surfaced and solved. That’s why the Elder Justice Center wants ev-

eryone to know that it’s OK to report and talk about suspected elder exploitation. The signs to look for range from physical evidence (e.g. bruises, unexplained accidents, etc.) and financial clues (e.g. unusual withdrawals) to changes in personality and social isolation. The experts all agree that anyone who suspects elder abuse should report it. It’s easy—just contact the Minne-

dent, along with any ones where inappropriate action took place in Apple Valley.� Schroeder has not been charged based on the new reports. The Apple Valley Police Department has asked people with information regarding Schroeder to report it by calling the main line: 952-953-2700. “Our investigation is still continuing,� Francis said.

portunity to take a field trip to MNHS historic sites, thanks to the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF). Kunkel’s 6th grade class was one group of these students. The MNHS’ Legacy Field Trip Support Fund works with schools to address the issue of high busing costs, which can make field trips unaffordable for students. It is made possible by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. It was founded in 2011, and is funded through ACHF dollars. The fund offers financial assistance to Minnesota schools to offset field trip transportation costs, reimbursing schools $4 per student. Any school in Minnesota with 25 percent or more of its students enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program is eligible to apply for financial assistance. For Kunkel, these funds make all the difference. The field trips help her teach history as not just a single story, but as a chorus of voices. “There’s a big push for trying to make sure that you have multiple perspectives,� she said. “We can show that through primary sources, but actually going to a place allows the students to see it firsthand.� She said the MNHS MUSICIAN, from 1A ing label for more than 25 years; worked with the likes of Bobby Vee, Eric Clapton, and Vince Neil of Motley Crue; composed music for the St. Paul City Ballet and Minnesota Orchestra and much more. “Every day is like Friday,� he said. “There is no retiring for me. For freelance musicians it seems like we already have.� Maurer says he loves what he is doing and juggling all the different projects isn’t that difficult. He says when he signs on for a new project, that expected work is logged in the calendar, which may push some performance dates out for him, but in large measure he’s able to keep commitments to groups like Collective Unconscious. Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. show at the Lakeville Area Arts Center will recreate the 1976 concert “The Last Waltz� by The Band, which included Robbie Robertson on guitars and Levon Helm on drums. The Band, in addition to performing hits like “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down� and “The Weight,� was joined on stage that night by Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Muddy Waters and others. Collective Unconscious navigates this musical territory for the audience with spoken word explanations for most of the songs to

This is the third time that Collective Unconscious has performed a string of “The Last Waltz� shows. The Lakeville gig is the last one in this string, which included three dates in November 2017. Maurer’s role in the show is playing the B-3 organ and piano during two songs, including Dr. John’s contribution “Such a Night.� He says that Collective Unconscious members chart out the important sections of their music individually, but they aren’t trying to play the songs note for note. The group makes a greater effort in creating the feel and the style of the music. “People like the idea of getting behind an album,� Maurer said of Collective Unconscious’s other album shows for the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds� and The Beatles “Abbey Road.� “There is a musical history lesson in it. Something that connects with the culture and history of it. We connect it to the people at that time and what was happening in the world.� He said the show is interesting in that it has a jumble of styles — blues, rock, folk, pop and more — from the performers who influenced The Band. “There are great pockets of personality that happen every song,� Maurer said of elements such as a distinctive vocal, a harmonica

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY WARNING WATER AERATION SYSTEM OPERATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an aeration system, creating open water and thin ice, will begin operating on Lake Alimagnet in the Cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville, Dakota County, Minnesota, as early as December 1, 2017, and continue through May 1, 2018. The system is installed at the southeast corner of the lake, in Alimagnet Park, in Apple Valley. Weather conditions may cause the areas of thin ice and open water to fluctuate greatly. Stay clear of the marked area!

If there are questions concerning this aeration system, please call Apple Valley Natural Resources at 952-953-2400. /s/ Pamela J. Gackstetter Apple Valley City Clerk Published in the Apple Valley Sun Thisweek, Burnsville-Eagan Sun Thisweek January 19, 2018 775246

solo or a horn section. “It’s a kaleidoscope of things.� It will be an interesting way for Maurer to kick off his 2018, which includes composing music for a Tennessee Williams Festival on the East Coast, touring with the Pittsburgh Symphony, working with the “Midtown Men� April performance at the Ordway in St. Paul, and traveling to Berlin to direct a Singers Corner showcase. It’s not all music for Maurer. In July, Maurer will attempt to ride his bike around the Great Lakes during the fifth annual Carolyn A. Held Memorial Bike Ride. Maurer started the ride in 2014 in honor of Held, who along with her husband, Pat, were his biggest supporters when he started out in music in 1986. Held completed a cross country bike ride in 1988 when she turned 48 in order to raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Little Falls, Minn. She died at age 71 in 2012, and two years later Maurer set out to recreate her ride following the same route. He’s done a different route each year, including having gone across Iceland and Sri Lanka. Maurer has raised $45,000 over the past four years to benefit cancer research at Mayo Clinic. He says the bike rides are a way for him to unplug from music for a month or so. Still music is in his mind

as he sees the slow move of a bike on adventures “delving into the interior� of new places and understanding the culture as a similar process of exploration that he undertakes in composing music. As bike riding has become an important part of Maurer’s life, he says when he gets together with his siblings, they will often talk about how as kids they would go off on their bikes exploring on the roads and trails in Apple Valley. Maurer recalls going to the intersection at 42 and Cedar Avenue at that time to see the air strip that was utilized by crop dusters for neighboring farmers. “We would go around the lake, all of us kids playing outside,� he said. “We wouldn’t have to worry about anything.� He said he could ride his bike around for hours, but his parents said it was forbidden to cross County Road 42 at Gardenview. Years later, it’s safe to say that Maurer doesn’t live by any such restrictions on his bike or in his music. More about Maurer’s music and his bike rides can be found at http:// www.georgemaurer.com.

16A Jan. 19, 2018 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

HUUSKO, from 3A “None of the board members had their own agenda. We didn’t go into the board, or seeking reelection to the board, wanting to be a thorn in the side,� he said. “We were committed to making sure the students had the opportunity to be educated as well as they could be.� He said the biggest challenge was not having enough resources for the board to do what they’d like to do — especially when it came to compensating teachers. “I think teachers are underpaid,� Huusko said. “I have a philosophical problem that we pay celebrities and sports people so much to entertain us, and as a society we are not willing to

put money into education where we build the leaders of tomorrow.� He most enjoyed times the board recognized students, either individually or in groups, for their accomplishments. “The students of District 196 are exceptional. They outshine anything that I’ve ever done. It makes me happy that we can do that,� Huusko said. “It’s gratifying to know that the kids are doings so well, and that they will be prepared to run the country one day.� Huusko’s name appeared on the ballot this fall without the support of the teacher’s union. He said that is the biggest difference between his campaign this year and his campaign in 2013 and his campaign this fall.

“I was disappointed I did not get their endorsement, but I understand why they did it,� Huusko said. “They wanted to have more union representation on the board. I’m an attorney. We don’t have unions.� He said when he found out he had lost the election he was “disappointed by not flabbergasted.� Huusko passed off the baton to Angrimson this month. “Craig is a nice person. He’s as committed and dedicated to the district as anyone could be,� Huusko said. “I think he’ll do a good job.� Huusko is used to transitioning in and out of leadership positions in his community. In the past, Huusko served on the Eagan and Apple Valley Rotary clubs,

and was chosen as president of both. He’s been active in the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce and Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce for 20 years, and he’s served as the chairman of the board for both of those organizations. He’s served as a board member of the Eagan Citizens Crime Prevention Association, and he was a member of the Eagan Foundation board for many years as well. He and his wife, Laurie, have also been active in District 196 as they volunteered at Woodland Elementary, Dakota Hills Middle School and Eagan High School — the schools their children, Tara and Tyler, attended. Huusko may no longer hold a seat on the board,

& Q Q K QT V C 2

but his calendar continues to fill up with community events. He will continue to serve as past president of Eagan Rotary, and he’s going to get involved in the District 196 Foundation again. He’ll also continue working with the School Board, as he was appointed to the legislative advisory council. As certified open water scuba diver, and he’s also looking forward to spending more time in the water. Huusko is also hoping to have time to go to Disney World with his family. He said he would consider running again if a spot opened up, but he wouldn’t want to go head-to-head with one of the current members. “I have a great deal of respect for the board that

I worked with,� he said. “If there was an opening, I might consider it. But the incumbents I have too much respect for.� At the Jan. 8 School Board meeting, the board invited Huusko to say a few words. “Thank you to the board for your continued leadership and strengthening of our schools, for working hard in making sometimes tough decisions that help our students achieve to the best of their abilities and for helping make the district a place that attracts and retains the best teachers, support staff and administrators,� he said. “I promise to continue to help the district in any way I can.� Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.
