Elevated walkway proposed at Cedar Ave. and 147th Street transit station by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley officials hosted a delegation of state senators at the Cedar Avenue and 147th Street transit station last week in a bid to secure funding for a sky bridge project there. City officials are seeking $4 million in state funding for the elevated walkway, which is being touted as both a safety measure for transit riders and a way to further spur economic development along the Cedar Avenue transit corridor. Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney outlined the project Dec. 2 to members of the state Senate Capital Investment Committee inside Superior Service Center, an auto repair business adjoining the transit stop. The sky bridge project is estimated to cost $5 million, with the city of Apple Valley putting up $1 million, according to HamannRoland. The mayor described the project as “vital to transit and economic development in Apple Val-

It’s not often you’ll find Valerie Root without her yarn and knitting needles. The avid Apple Valley knitter seizes just about every free moment to knit. “I was raised on a farm in Maine where no one was allowed to sit and do nothing,” she said. “I usually take my knitting needles with me wherever I go. At the doctor’s office, in the car — not when I’m driv-

ing, but when I’m riding.” A former professional knitter — she’s done knitwear work for a number of companies over the years, along with doing freelance knitwear design for magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens — Root recently completed a yearlong personal knitting project that saw her creating 379 hats for students at Dakota County Technical College and Inver Hills Community College.

A book that was under consideration for removal for adult themes will remain at middle school libraries in the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District. A panel of teachers, parents and District 196 school officials voted unanimously to keep “Just One Day” on the shelves at district high schools

and voted 7 to 4 to retain the book at district middle schools. “Just One Day” is available at four district school libraries but is not used for instructional purposes. The committee, which consists of two teachers, five parents, a high school student, a middle school principal, a middle school media specialist and a high school media specialist, reviewed the book after a Rosemount couple

requested the book’s removal last month from middle school libraries. Ben and Kandi Lovin of Rosemount said the book has sexual content they believe is inappropriate for middle school age children. “Just One Day” centers on a teenage girl, Allyson, who spends one romantic day in Paris with a young actor and decides to leave college to find him. The couple said they

reviewed the book after their sixth-grade daughter brought it home the Rosemount Middle School library and were dismayed by “graphic” content that includes a sex scene, underage drinking and date rape. The committee read the book and heard testimony from the Lovins before coming to their decision. Only a handful of books have been chal-

lenged in the past two decades, said Tony Taschner, spokesman for District 196. In 2014, a parent asked the district to remove “Sixth-grade can Really Kill You,” because of its use of the word “retarded.” The committee voted in a 10-0 decision to keep it in circulation.

Snow Angels come to the rescue in winter DARTS volunteers find giving back is fun, rewarding by Patrice Peterson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Winters, especially in Minnesota, can be a challenging time for many older homeowners. When the snow piles up, many seniors find it to be physically impossible or financially difficult for them to manage on their own. That’s when DARTS volunteers come to the rescue. Years ago, one senior in Dakota County described DARTS volunteers as, “just wonderful! I think of them as angels.� And so, the DARTS Snow Angel program was born. Keeping seniors’ sidewalks and driveways free from snow and ice helps them get safely to their vehicles or mailbox and allow family and other service providers access to their homes. In addition to making a meaningful impact on the life of an older homeowner, DARTS Snow Angels are making it a family affair. Three years ago, Burnsville residents Jim and Jodi Ousley began looking for volunteer projects with their daughter, Madison, and son,

Hayden. Giving back to others was initially encouraged through the children’s schools – Madison is a junior at Apple Valley High School and Hayden is an eighth-grader at St. Thomas Academy – but now each time the four of them volunteer together, it turns into a special event they refer to as “Forced Family Fun Time.� Volunteering as a family has given the Ousleys an opportunity to work together and build a stronger family bond. Each time two inches or more of snow comes down, they all grab their shovels and head over to Gail’s house. Their hard work is followed up with a “Caribou run� that gives them additional time together. “I like it – it’s fun to do it,� Hayden, 13 said. “You feel good about yourself and kind of accomplished that you’re helping someone who couldn’t help themselves.� Madison, 16, agrees. “Sometimes in the morning, the rest of them want to get up and start shoveling really early,� she said. “I don’t want to get up, but once we get

going, it’s fun. Hayden will throw snow at me, and all of a sudden you don’t realize you’re working – you’re doing something and you’re helping somebody.� “You can’t let that family time pass, and it’s not easy to carve time out

of their schedules,� Jodi said. “This is a ‘requirement’ for us now – a way to be together and give back at the same time.� The Ousleys say they understand they have it “pretty good� and “there’s more to life than iPhones and iPads.�

Madison remembers two years ago when, “It snowed on Christmas Eve, and we didn’t open gifts until after all the shoveling was done. One way to look at it is that we can do this and they can’t,� she said. “I would want someone to do that

for me when I get older.� To find out about volunteer opportunities at DARTS, go online to darts1.org, call 651455-1560 or email info@ darts1.org. Patrice Peterson DARTS volunteer.

Animal Legal Defense Fund may sue Fur-Ever Wild The Animal Legal Defense Fund sent the U.S. Department of the Interior a 60-day notice of intent to sue Fur-Ever Wild in Eureka Township on Dec. 2 for allegedly violating the Endangered Species Act, according to a press release from ALDF. ALDF is asking FurEver Wild to agree to stop killing and skinning wolves or the organization will file suit in 60 days.

“Fur-Ever Wild shows contempt not only for the lives of magnificent endangered animals but also for federal law,� wrote Stephen Wells, executive director of the ALDF in a release. “We hope Fur-Ever Wild will agree to cease its wolfkilling operation in the next 60 days but, if not, we intend to sue to assure the law is enforced.� Fur-Ever Wild is located on 100 acres in Eureka Township and houses

Opinion Police, public need to work together to stem tide of violence It’s been a tough 15 months for our nation’s police officers – from Missouri, to Maryland and now to Minnesota. Since the death of Michael Brown, followed by days of rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, until the recent death of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis, law enforcement personnel are on the hot seat. Did police act maliciously? With racist intent? And the big question, was Clark killed while handcuffed? These incidents have heightened anger toward the police, and have given fodder to those who claim officers are reacting violently and causing death or injury where it is not necessary. The Black Lives Matter movement has elevated the debate. Many feel police officers target people of color, especially African-Americans, and use excessive force and profiling to drill down on black suspects. We’ve seen incidents involving police and violence in many of our communities. Within the past few weeks, Fridley and Columbia Heights officers shot and killed a man who refused police instructions to show his hands and pulled a weapon on them. In Plymouth, a police officer killed a man suffering from a mental health crisis after he tried to remove the officer’s gun from her holster. In Robbinsdale, police shot and injured an 18-year-old woman who was wielding a large knife. In New Hope within the last year, an angry man shot at two police officers at city hall and was subsequently killed. Last year in Ramsey, police shot and killed a man who ran from them as they investigated a call of a suspicious person near a daycare center.

ECM Editorial We’ve also seen Minnesota officers die in the course of their day. In St. Cloud this October, a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed with his own weapon, as a hospital patient took his gun as they struggled. A Minneapolis police officer was shot in February responding to a burglary in what police say may have been a targeted ambush on officers. Mendota Heights police officer Scott Patrick was shot and killed last summer in what started as routine traffic stop. Organizations have rallied to support police officers. In Coon Rapids recently, hundreds of people gathered at a rally supporting police. A local car repair company has offered free “thin blue lines” painted on your vehicle, to support the men and women in blue and the thin line they walk every day. Apple Valley has launched “Operation Thank A Cop,” offering supportive bumper stickers to anyone interested. While focus recently has been on race and racial issues, the day-to-day existence of an officer is complex. He or she deals with a vast range of situations. Police and sheriff’s deputies will tell you that the most unpredictable call they respond to each day is the domestic call – not a riot or a bank robbery. These often involve individuals in volatile relationships, fueled into violence with drugs and alcohol. In 2012 in North Branch, a 46-year-old man was shot and killed by police when they responded to a domestic incident. They will also talk about the difficulty and unpredictability of dealing with

the mentally ill. When a Plymouth police officer shot and killed Derek Wolfsteller, 31, she already knew he was an individual in a serious mental health crisis. However, in his agitated state, he was overpowering and the officers at the scene felt their only resort was to shoot when he tried to take the officer’s gun. We do not believe our law enforcement officers intend to incite a situation, or to seek out and maliciously target individuals of certain races or ethnic backgrounds. We do believe that our police and sheriff’s deputies face an incredibly difficult choice in many situations. Consider seeing an angry man lunging at you – or at a group of children – with his hand in his pocket. You have three seconds to decide – is he a danger? Are the children in danger? Do I shoot? Do I let him continue? The great majority of us never need to make a life or death decision in a few seconds. But our police officers do that all too often. One police officer acting too quickly or reacting with excessive force can turn a difficult situation into a full-blown riot. Police officers must be better able to diffuse a violent situation. We urge the supervisors in law enforcement to develop alternatives to guns and Tasers when dealing with difficult situations. There needs to be methodology law enforcement can use to contain an out-of-control individual beyond deadly force. Police need to develop additional methods to handle the mentally ill. How do you subdue – safely – a 250-pound man whose illness has sent him into a rage?

We also urge the quick implementation of body cameras on all officers. We believe that in the great majority of cases, video will show officers acted appropriately. Law enforcement leaders must continually recruit quality candidates for jobs, and work hard to bring diversity to their ranks. It will take more than better training, however, to heal the fissure developing between people of color and police. As long as entire communities of people believe the police are the enemy instead of an ally, angry demonstrations like the one that brought Minneapolis freeways to a stop following the shooting of Jamar Clark will continue to happen. Our police officers, sheriffs, state patrol and police chiefs will need to work diligently to improve their image in the community. Police and the media can do a better job of telling “the other” story – situations where quick-thinking and levelheaded officers saved lives, or brought a situation from volatile to orderly. Our police need to be even more visible in their communities. Police officers should be walking side-by-side with community leaders. And finally, we must not turn this into a race war. This is not police vs. black – this is all of us, people of all colors, standing next to our police forces – united against the real criminals. All lives will be better if we work together.

Helping school districts set, reach their goals by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

More than 20 people, an unusually large number, responded to a recent column listing five questions for school board members. Most agreed with the questions suggested in the column. Several asked for examples of measurable goals that school boards have adopted. One person wisely urged listening to staff, as well as other groups, and another advocated for clear communication from boards. Alan Muller wrote in an online comment: “May I put in a plug for the importance of plain language? All too often school managers, at least the ‘public’ flavor, seem to respond in a specialized lingo such that few really understand what, if anything, is being said.” That’s wise advice as boards establish district goals. I contacted Miami-Dade County Public Schools in Florida because it has improved high school graduation rates by 15 percentage points over the last five years, and in 2012, it won one of the nation’s top awards for school districts awarded by the Broad Foundation. John Schuster, administrative director of public relations, responded that the district has five pillars supporting its “Vision 20/20 Strategic Blueprint.” Each has measurable goals, found at http:// bit.ly/1Xy03mM. For example, under Pillar 1, called Relevant, Rigorous and

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan Innovative Academics, objectives include: • “At least 90 percent of students will graduate with a standard high school diploma by 2020. • “The percentage of students enrolled in remedial courses at the college level will decrease by at least 5 percent by 2020. • “The percentage of students attaining industry certification in one or more areas of study will increase by at least 5 percent by 2020.” Other examples come from 2014 Broad Award winner Orange County Public Schools, Florida, found at http:// bit.ly/1TuHnyy. The board and administration identified four overall focus areas, adopted measurable goals and developed strategies for each goal. I’m not suggesting that these are the only ones to adopt, although I am heartened that two involve increased enrollment of 10 percent by 2020 in dual-credit courses (high school and college) and increasing the percentage of students who are successful in such courses by 10 percent by 2020.

Some of Orange County’s goals include: • “Increase the percent of students enrolled in an extended postsecondary preparation experience prior to graduation by 10 percentage points by the year 2020. • “Increase the percent of students demonstrating success in an extended postsecondary preparation experience prior to graduation by 10 percentage points by the year 2020. • “Increase (percent) of students in grades 3-10 scoring proficient on statewide assessments … by 10 percentage points by the year 2020.” Adopting goals is not enough. Several people described what boards should do to increase the likelihood that their goals are accomplished. Former Minnesota Commissioner of Education Bob Wedl wrote, “Boards ought to ask the district administration and teachers to identify ways to do things differently so that better results can be achieved with the same or even less resources.” He offered examples such as new research-based approaches to serve students with special needs and redesigning high schools so that all students complete a significant amount of postsecondary coursework or even their “career certifications” while in high school, saving families hundreds of millions of dollars. Steve Miltich, a 20-year public schools employee who is on the board

of Minnesota school employees union SEIU 284, agreed that it’s important to listen to families, educators, current students, graduates and community members. However, he wrote via email: “I am troubled by the fact that nowhere in your column did you make a single mention of support staff. You see, I am a school custodian. We work hand in hand every day with educators, administration, parents and students. As the winter weather sets in, we are the ones who keep our buildings warm and dry. Our food service workers feed hundreds of students every day. The paraprofessionals train and protect and clean special needs kids from the moment they exit their buses, while clerical staff move information, store records and refer visitors and callers.” He rightly recommended that board members also consider staff suggestions. I hope, thanks to readers’ recommendations, wise boards will set and share clear, measurable goals, and then, after listening to various voices, they’ll develop plans to accomplish those goals and share results.

Letters Civil rights movement incomplete To the editor: I am grateful for the Opinion piece by Joe Nathan, in the Dec. 4 edition. In very simple terms, he put into perspective the leadership of professor Nekima Levy-Pounds within the framework of ongoing, civil rights protests, such as those under the banner of Black Lives Matter. At the same time

Nathan pointed out the seriousness of Minnesota’s low, dreadfully low, standing in the welfare and education of AfricanAmericans. I will pay much closer attention to professor Levy-Pounds’ leadership in the future, in the struggle with the systemic inequities that exist in our state. As a white person, I am responsible for accepting, without question, the privileges accorded me, due to the color of my skin, without regard to my

character or actions. Nathan, Levy-Pounds, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and I encourage others to consider the work of the civil rights movement incomplete. SIEGLINDE GASSMAN Apple Valley

Help in our time of need To the editor: In the wake of devastation, the beauty of the human spirit emerges. The car accident on Dec. 4 that caused the sudden and tragic deaths of Jake Flynn and John Price, and injuries to Alex Hughes and Mason Kohlbeck, has thrust our community into shock and disbelief. Two of our own are gone and the events of

that afternoon were, and always will be, utterly incomprehensible. All activities at LSHS were cancelled for the evening of Dec. 4; however, we were set to host a very large boys traveling basketball tournament the very next day at LSHS. We questioned whether to cancel the tournament, but with more than 55 teams from cities across the metro and outstate Minnesota that had made arrangements to play and hundreds of boys looking forward to a weekend of basketball, we decided to proceed with the tournament. We knew that very understandably, many parents and high school students would not be able to fulfill their volunteer shifts (concessions, set-up, admissions, etc.) throughout the weekend. We would deal with whatever we needed to. But this past weekend, we saw firsthand how the human spirit responds to unfathomable events in an attempt to help, to support, to show that above all else, the strength of our human connection prevails. Lakeville North, a rival on the field and on the

court, immediately contacted us to express their desire and willingness to help – to take on volunteer shifts, to run our scoreboards, to assist in any way. This emphasized that compassion and empathy trump any rivalry. The communities of Burnsville, Savage, Eagan, Chaska, Woodbury, and Brainerd also played active roles in helping our tournament run smoothly. These communities stepped up in response to tragedy without blinking an eye, and for that, we are extremely grateful. Communities around the Twin Cities that were not tournament participants contacted us to offer their assistance. During our time of need, we felt caring, support, and compassion, which has shown us that our deep connection as human beings – and the ability for that to translate to action – is alive and well. A big thank you goes out to these communities and all who stepped in to help. LAKEVILLE SOUTH BOYS BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

Bartholomay has no plans to resign from council Urges public to wait for legal process to play out after Apple Valley incident by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington City Council Member Jason Bartholomay said he doesn’t plan to step down from his position as a council member and asked people to reserve judgment until the impersonating a police officer citation against him goes through the court process. Two citizens came to Monday’s City Council meeting asking for the resignation of Bartholomay. Tim Thompson said

Bartholomay has embarrassed the city of Farmington and to the taxpayers he’s representing. “I don’t think it’s very ethical,� Thompson said. “I really, really don’t know how you expect people to give you respect back when you can’t earn that.� Lacelle Cordes, a former Farmington City Council member, said Bartholomay no longer has the confidence of the citizens of Farmington because of his recent actions and excuses. “I urge you to resign tonight to prevent any more ridicule and shame that you’ve brought to the city of Farmington,� Cordes said. At the end of the meeting, Bartholomay addressed the situation.

School District 196 receives award for budget excellence The District 196 Finance Department has received the Meritorious Budget Award from the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International for the 2015-16 budget year. The Meritorious Budget Award program promotes and recognizes excellence in school budget presentation. The award is conferred only on school districts that have met or exceeded the program’s stringent criteria, following a rigorous review by professional auditors. Only one other school district in Minnesota (Marshall Public Schools) and fewer than 150 nationwide received the Meritorious Budget Award for the 2015-16 budget year. “The district’s budget document contains excellent spreadsheets, charts and graphs to help the reader fully grasp the data presented,� the reviewers commented. “The document provides

excellent information to allow the non-financial reader to understand the budgeting process used by the district and includes detailed information about the various funds, the sources of the revenue and the categories of expenditures. This award demonstrates the district’s hard work and commitment to fiscal transparency.� The preliminary budget for 2015-16 is available on the Finance Department page of the District 196 website at www.District196.org/Finance, along with budgets and finance documents for the previous nine years. The District 196 Finance Department has also received ASBO’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for 13 years in a row for the preparation and issuance of the comprehensive annual financial report.

“Under no circumstance did I do anything to impersonate an officer,� he said. “I expect to be acquitted of that charge. However, due to the court process, justice can take time.� He said he believes this is a learning opportunity for students in civic class on why it’s important that someone is innocent until proven guilty and thanked residents who didn’t rush judgement. “Like many of you have told me, something didn’t seem right and it didn’t feel like this was something I would do,� he said. He apologized to the city staff, the council, his family and residents of Farmington “that this personal issue has become such an overly ex-

structure. Bartholomay’s attorney Hillary Parsons told the newspaper last month Bartholomay is a trained therapist and volunteer who often responds to suicidal calls. During one of those situations, Bartholomay’s vehicle was parked along a roadside and another vehicle hit his, so he purchased the lights online. She said the report has been blown out of proportion. She said there’s no denying he had the lights, but there was no intent to impersonate a police officer and the statute requires intent. Bartholomay was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday.

counts of having illegal lights following an incident in Oct. 26. Bartholomay was pulled over by an officer responding to a report of a vehicle traveling through Apple Valley similar to that of a police car. The report said a witness saw his car with the lights activated and cars were pulling over in response. The police report did not state he was actively pulling anyone over, getting out of his car or approaching anyone. The report stated an Apple Valley officer observed a vehicle fitting the description in the area of 153rd Street and Cedar Avenue and observed what appeared to be flashing blue light reflected off a nearby

Seniors Augustana Care receives award Augustana Care has received the Excellence in Not-for-Profit Leadership Award from LeadingAge. The national award recognizes organizations that exemplify seven key attributes characterizing high-performing nonprofits, according to Johns Hopkins University research. The attributes include being productive, empowering, effective, enriching, reliable, responsive and caring. Several programs and partnerships at Augustana Care drew notice from LeadingAge, including a special sensory worship service created at Emerald Crest for those with Alzheimer’s and similar conditions: Emerald Crest by Augustana Care offers memory care at four Augustana Care locations, including Burnsville. Occupational therapists worked with chaplains to create a sensory worship service designed specifically for people with memory loss, allowing them to be active participants, no matter what level of dementia they may have. Other programs include the following: • The Student Residence Program brings college students to live alongside residents. • Through a collaborative effort with furniture retailer IKEA, a new model apartment was created to address the unique needs of older generations. Features include firmer chairs and sofas, wall hooks for keys, transparent storage for easy visibility, open storage in the bathroom for easy access and safety, and more. Augustana Care is a nonprofit organization that provides senior housing, health care and community-based services to older generations and others in need. Augustana Care locations

include: Augustana Care Apple Valley Campus, Augustana Care Open Circle of Apple Valley, Augustana Care Regent at Burnsville, Emerald Crest – Burnsville by Augustana Care, and The Rosemount Senior Living at Steeple Center. More information is at http://augustanacare.org. LeadingAge is an association of 6,000 not-for-profit organizations.

Another time to mourn in Lakeville Crash leaves two teens dead, one hospitalized after surgery by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville students, parents and community members reacted in shock and sorrow this week at the death of two popular Lakeville South High School students in a rollover crash Dec. 5. Johnny Price, 18, and Jake Flynn, 17 died after being thrown from the truck they were riding in when it rolled at around 3 p.m. on 225th Street about a mile south of Lakeville South. Driver Alex Hughes, 17, suffered head and back injuries in the crash and remained hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center after undergoing brain surgery for swelling, according to family and friends. John Braun, Lakeville South principal, said Lakeville South senior Mason Kohlbeck, a passenger in the vehicle, returned to school Monday and visited the auditorium, where counselors and clergy are available for students who gathered there. Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie said a witness reported driving eastbound on 225th Street when she saw the truck the teens were in coming at her in her lane. Leslie said the woman saw the truck make a sudden movement and begin to roll. Sharon Buckley, a hospice nurse, said she ran outside her home after hearing a “horrific noise� on the road followed by “hysterical� cries of one of the surviving boys. Buckley said she found Price in laying in the roadway unconscious and stayed with him, holding his hand and praying.

Mitchell Jacobson said he played football with Flynn for years and sat across from him at lunch every day. “He had such a great smile,� Jacobson said. “His smile was contagious. He was one of the nicest people.� Jacobson said Flynn was “insanely smart� and “had a really bright future,� with plans to attend college at University of Missouri, where his now brother attends, with hopes of walking on to play Division 1 football. “He just really wanted to go there because that’s where his family went,� Jacobson said. One of his favorite memories of Flynn was this summer when football team members went to the quarry and Flynn did back flips off the 35-foot cliff into the water. “That was a cool day together,� Jacobson said. Cameron Olson, Donavon Dempsey, Ryan Bissonett and Tommy Duckstad cling to “I’ll always remember each other in shared grief as they visit the memorial site on 225th Street where their that.� friends Jake Flynn and Johnny Price died in a crash Dec. 5.

Jake Flynn

She said several other cars had also stopped and other people were at the scene, including a man who was with Flynn. “The emergency people were here very quickly, but there was nothing that could be done,� Buckley said. She said she also met with Price’s parents Sunday. “They are wonderful people,� Buckley said. “It was something we both needed to do. We just needed to connect.�

Alex Hughes

The crash occurred on the same day that two years ago, Lakeville North junior Alyssa Ettl died in a car crash, uniting Lakeville’s heartbroken community in mourning. Alyssa Ettl’s father, Matt Ettl, said his family’s hearts “just dropped� when they learned of the crash. “Our prayers have been with all of the families, especially the Flynn and Price families,� Matt Ettl said. “We haven’t been able to stop thinking about

them.� He said healing will take time, but with prayers and support from friends and the community, they will be able to get through this. Matt Ettl said to surround themselves with positive thoughts and vibes from the community. “I don’t want to say we understand what they’re going through because everybody deals with it so individually,� Matt Ettl said.

Deputies execute search of truck involved in crash Investigation focuses on distracted driving by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie confirmed on Monday deputies are investigating distracted driving and if the “Nerf Wars� game played a role in the Dec. 4 crash that killed two Lakeville South High School students. Johnny Price, 18, and Jake Flynn, 17, died after being thrown from the truck they were riding in when it rolled on 225th Street south of the high school. The driver, Alex Hughes, 17, and Mason Kohlbeck, 18, survived the crash and were transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. Leslie said Hughes underwent

surgery and the is physically unable to talk to deputies at this time to help them with details that led to the crash. Lakeville South Principal John Braun said Kohlbeck was released from the hospital Saturday, Dec. 5. Leslie said a witness reported she was traveling eastbound on 225th Street and saw the truck coming at her in her lane, then it made a sudden movement and began to roll. “She actually saw the boys ejected,� Leslie said. The woman reportedly remained at the scene for a few minutes but then had to leave to pick up children. “The woman said there were no

other vehicles in the area beside her and the truck,� Leslie said. He said the investigation would slow until after the funerals so the community can come together and mourn. A press conference regarding the cause of the accident was scheduled for after the funerals are complete, after this edition went to press. Dakota County deputies this week executed a search warrant of the truck looking for Nerf guns to help determine if there is a connection between the game and the crash. Leslie said they also planned to pull the vehicle’s “brains,� a comSee SEARCH, 8A

Remembering Like Alyssa Ettl, Flynn and Price were popular, friendly and active in school sports. Price was a thirdbaseman for Lakeville South, a strong hitter and played for years on the elite Minnesota Blizzard traveling baseball team. Lakeville South junior

University of St. Thomas freshman Tommy Duckstad said he became best friends with Price last year. “He was such an amazing person,� Duckstad said through tears. “I can’t believe this.� Duckstad said if Price’s baseball plans did not work out, he was going to go to St. Thomas after graduation. College freshman Ryan Bissonett said last year he also quickly made a friendship with Price, and remained in touch after he went to college, talking to Price every week on the phone. “I never became best friends with somebody that fast,� he said. “He’s one of those kids (who) everyone loved him.� Price was being recruited for Division 1 baseball, according to Price’s obituary, which described him as “an outstanding

Support from all directions Businesses pitch in to provide comfort after tragic crash by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thanks to social media, support came quickly in Lakeville, a community in grief following a single-vehicle crash that killed two wellknown and loved teens Dec. 4. Compassionate words were shared online and were expressed in person as students and parents embraced in mutual grief at Lakeville South High School on Friday night. It was a shared comfort that has continued in the week since the deaths of Johnny Price, 18, and Jake Flynn, 17. The Lakeville South students were popular and gifted athletes, and their loss has shaken many in the Lakeville community. Alex Hughes, a junior at Lakeville South, remains hospitalized, while the lone person to walk away after the crash, 18-year-old Mason Kohlbeck, was at school on Monday. Lakeville South Principal John Braun said Kohlbeck visited with classmates in the auditorium, where counselors were present to help students process their grief. “I think students were relieved to see him,� Braun said. He said there were “a lot of embraces� and “a lot of tears.� District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder said students and staff were “doing about as well as could be expected under the circumstances,� and noted that many students were taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with grief counselors in the Lakeville South auditorium.

Hughes has been unable to communicate because of his medical condition, according to Leslie. Lakeville South junior

He said they would also examine the condition of the truck’s seat belts to determine if they might have snapped during the impact and which of the boys were wearing them. “We will gather that information and then compare that with what the

She said some students were sharing their thoughts on a posters and writing messages to Johnny or Jake. She said some sat alone or with a friend or met with clergy other faith community members who were available to help the students process their grief. “Our students are absolutely amazing at supporting each other,� Braun said. “That is something that we saw starting on Friday.� Braun described Price and Flynn as popular, outstanding athletes who were “absolutely loved� by students and staff and a “joy to be around.� At the school on Monday, two deans attended each class Price and Flynn would have been in and placed a rose at their empty desk in their memory during the class period. “They go to the boys classroom, and they share thoughts about the wonderful young men these two boys were,� Braun said. “That has really helped our students, it has really helped the ... instructor.� Local businesses, including Cub Foods, Sam’s Club, Costco and Schmitty & Sons Bus Company, have provided supplies for students and staff members, Braun said. Snyder said Little Caesars also brought pizza to Lakeville South where hundreds had gathered late Friday to grieve and gain support. Lakeville South school resource officer Thor Howe described Friday night as a “huge gathering� of students, coaches and faith community members.

Renae Ouilette, District 194 executive director of special education and student services, said as students left that night, counselors and police staff were asking them where they were going and if they were all right to drive. “It was so important to have their support to make sure we weren’t letting kids out of the building that were too distressed to be safe,� Ouilette said. Schmitty & Sons transported students to the funerals and posted stickers #LakevilleStrong on their buses for the week, a nod to thousands of social media posts expressing sorrow and sympathy. Ouilette said grief extends district-wide and the response has been significant. Siblings of Price and Flynn attend Lakeview Elementary, Kenwood Middle School, McGuire Elementary, and Ouilette said the crisis response team met Sunday to collaborate and coordinate efforts in those schools to address potential needs. She said they also included Lakeville North High School officials since many students from the high schools know each other. “We had people deployed in every one of those schools, and had plans in place to manage that,� Ouilette said. Snyder said the accident also had a “profound impact� on staff across the district, and they utilized their employee assistance program to provide counseling and support. She said the district had two substitute teachers avail-

able “if any of our teachers need a break.� Snyder said the district also provided support for staff to help them know how to respond and talk to students who are in grief. Ouilette said district staff also worked to coordinate the logistics of getting students safely to and from the funerals. Schmitty & Sons provided bus services for students with permission to attend the funerals. Ouilette said staff members were on the buses and informed students of the expected time frame, practices of each church service and expectations of the

students. Howe said everyone at the school has “really heavy hearts,� but students are being supportive of each other. He said moving forward, they will continue to keep an eye out on the emotional temperature of the school. “We’re asking all staff to keep their eyes and ears open, and if they have any concerns about a particular student we’re immediately responding to that by having someone check in on them or talk with them,� Ouilette said.

Tony Mussehl said Hughes was one of the first guys to reach out to him when he came to the school midway through his freshman year. They both played football, and when Hughes saw Mussehl did not have a partner to lift weights with, he invited him to lift with him. “It meant a lot to me,� Mussehl said. “He was kind of one of my first

friends.� The crash has received significant media attention. Sympathy and support has poured out from around the community and region. Monday morning, Lakeville South staff arrived to find a card and a poster from the Shakopee High School hockey team at the school’s front door. In an interview, Fairbault head basketball

coach Brad Combs called the crash “heartbreaking.� On Saturday, Minnesota Blizzard coach Brent Peters drove from St. Peter to visit the memorial site that friends installed at the side of the road where the crash occurred. He said he felt compelled to come and represent the Blizzard coaches and players who played with Price for years. “There was this part

of me that said if I didn’t stop by and say a prayer and send some positive thoughts to his friends and family that I would regret that,� Peters said. Buckley said she hears car doors and friends visiting the memorial site at all hours to pour out their grief. “The message everybody needs to hear is to reach out,� Buckley said. “If there’s something you

need, let somebody know because everybody feels so helpless and we all need to continue supporting each other. Let people know what you need because they’re feeling helpless too and if there’s something somebody can do to support you, that’s what they need to do also.�

State Patrol has in their reconstruction of the crash based on the facts,� Leslie said. “So where were the skid marks, where was the first gouge in the roadway where the vehicle ended up, that kind of thing.� On social media, Lakeville South students quickly connected the crash to Nerf War games they play and immediately halted the game. Game organizer told the newspaper that Flynn was being kidnapped as part of the game and tak-

en off site to be shot with the Nerf gun. They have also suspended play permanently in Lakeville. Lakeville police Chief Deputy John Kornmann has said teens have played the game in Lakeville for about 15 years. The popular game fundraiser involved teams that shoot each other with Nerf darts. Elaborate rules for the game state shootings cannot take place on school grounds. Lakeville South se-

nior Cody Starin said he talked to Price about five minutes before they left to kidnap Flynn to complete their team’s mission for the week. Starin, who played on another Nerf team, said each team is required to eliminate two opposing team members every week; the last team left standing wins. There is a fee to play, and he said the pot was $5,000 this year. Winners have typically donated their winnings to

a charitable cause. Organizers said the money is being used to print T-shirts, make wrist bands and other commemorative items they plan to sell and raise money for the Price and Flynn families. At a Dec. 7 news conference, District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder said the game was not a sanctioned school event and “is not something that happens in our schools.� She said there has been

no discipline incidents at either high school involving the game and no Nerf guns have been found in any of the schools. Snyder said parents should place parameters on actions they take when participating in events and activities. Lakeville Police Chief Jeff Long encouraged parents to talk to kids about safety and paying attention when driving and to set a good example by following the law and being respectful to other drivers. “We have all sorts of distracted driving when it comes to telephones, both by teens and adults,� Long said. “And what young people garner most from adults is the modeling that adults do.�

Coordinator helps Steeple Center reach new heights Parks and recreation coordinator to facilitate site’s event calendar by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A few hundred people turned out for the first event inside the recently completed Steeple Center addition in Rosemount on Friday. The Tree Lighting and Rosemount Community Band concert attracted scores of people and is the kind of feel-good community event that new Rosemount Parks and Recreation coordinator Stephanie Baumann hopes to see replicated in the future. The city of Rosemount hired Baumann in June, and since that time she has been organizing protocols for coordinating Steeple Center rentals, assisting with Rosemount Area Seniors programming and meeting with Rosemount Area Arts Council members. The seniors and arts group are projected to be two of the largest users of the Steeple Center, which has been closed to public events for the past year as the 10,000-square-foot addition was being constructed along with the neighboring senior living facility The Rosemount. It appears interest in the Steeple Center is high. There were so many people at Friday night’s free event, Rosemount City Council Members Jeff Weisensel and Mark DeBettignies chipped in to wheel more seats into the performance hall for the free band concert and songs by the Rosemount High School chamber choir. That interest level should make Baumann’s job easy and harder. Promoting the new space to groups and individuals to use for events, classes, meetings and parties might not be difficult, but managing the calendar could be a challenge.

It’s a job with which Baumann is very familiar. She has worked in the field of recreational programing and event management for more than 10 years at organizations including the University of Minnesota; city of Westfield, Indiana; and Special Olympics Minnesota. Baumann received her Master of Education in sports management from the University of Minnesota and her Bachelor of Science in recreation, park and leisure studies also from the U of M. After spending four years in the Indianapolis area, Baumann and her husband moved to Burnsville two years ago, which brought them closer to friends and family. Baumann took some time recently to complete a Q-and-A with the newspaper. Following are her responses. What are you most excited about in your new role for the city? I am most excited about helping to facilitate programs that enhance the quality of life for the residents of Rosemount. That is the best part of working for Parks and Recreation! When you first saw the Steeple Center, what were your impressions? What kind of potential do you see at the site? I was taught from a very early age to appreciate history, so I was thrilled to see a community embracing its past and repurposing this beautiful building to be enjoyed by a new generation. We now have a facility with the architectural features and beauty unique to a historical building but with modern conveniences, such as a full catering kitchen and expanded restrooms, making it a great space for weddings and any other special event. I imagine you have met some of the senior, arts and other residents in the city. What can you say about their excitement and involvement to have the Steeple Center fully opened? What kind of things are they most excited about? The Rosemount Area

Stephanie Baumann Seniors’ current home is a single room with no windows. What a difference for them moving to the Steeple Center, which is full of huge windows, creating a bright and welcoming space! Having multiple rooms also drastically increases the possibility for expanded programming. We hope to offer many new options in the future that just were not possible before due to lack of space and time. With one senior living facility attached, another just down the road and having the building open to the public during the weekdays, the hope is also to see increased participation and reach members of the community we maybe hadn’t in the past. With the new multipurpose rooms, RAAC will also be able to expand their programming to include more classes. In addition to the many wonderful events they already offer, they are looking at adding classes such as painting, photography, basket weaving and more. I think having them and the Rosemount Area Seniors all under one roof will also really bridge these two groups. They have a lot to offer each other! How can people schedule an event?

It was the first time that the Steeple Center’s gathering space inside the new addition was used for an event. After the tree lighting on the front lawn, people moved inside to hear Christmas carols and music from a brass quintet. The reception was followed by a Rosemount Community Band and Rosemount High School concert choir performance. More photos are online at SunThisweek.com/tag/Tree-Lighting. (Photo by Tad Johnson)

Sports Big changes for Lightning, but results are familiar Girls basketball team starts 2-0 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

During a holiday tournament over Thanksgiving weekend, Eastview’s girls basketball team did a convincing job of making it look as if nothing had changed. In reality, much had changed since the Lightning finished second in the state Class 4A tournament last March – foremost, the team brought in a new head coach and re-tooled its lineup. But the results, through two games at least, looked familiar. Eastview held off Bloomington Kennedy, then routed White Bear Lake on consecutive days at the Pat Paterson Thanksgiving Classic at Hamline University. “We only had six practices before those first two games,” said first-year Lightning head coach Molly Kasper. “I was really happy with the effort, which is the most important thing for us right now. We definitely saw some things we needed to improve, and we worked on those last week.” The Lightning had about 10 days between its game against White Bear

Eastview, ranked fourth in Class 4A, needs to get up to speed quickly. The Lightning plays at No.

2-ranked Minnetonka at 7 p.m. Thursday and plays host to ninth-ranked Lakeville North in its South Suburban Conference opener Tuesday, Dec. 15. Before the month is over, the team will face Orono, ranked first in

Class 3A, and Hopkins, the top-ranked squad in Class 4A. Kasper said the Lightning’s defense improved as the Thanksgiving tournament at Hamline progressed. “We gave up 30 points in the first half against Kennedy (a 59-51 Eastview victory on Nov. 27), which is something we don’t want to become standard,” the coach said. “We were much better in the second half and played the same way against White Bear Lake (which Eastview defeated 60-31 on Nov. 28). “It seemed like every time we played tough defense it led to a basket for us.” Last year’s 30-2 team lost two of its top three scorers, both of whom are now playing for Division I college teams. Guard Madison Guebert, the 2015 Miss Basketball award winner, has started every game for South Dakota State. Forward Sam Trammel has played in every game for Michigan. Also lost to graduation was reliable defender and rebounder Hana Metoxen, who is playing for Augustana University. After last season, coach Melissa Guebert stepped down in part so she would

have more time to watch her children play basketball (her youngest, ninthgrader Macy, plays for Eastview’s junior varsity). Junior guard Rachel Ranke, who last month verbally committed to Kansas State, was Eastview’s second-leading scorer last season at 13.7 points per game. Ranke, who also came off the bench for Eastview’s 2014 state Class 4A championship team, first made her mark as a perimeter shooter. But at 6-0, Ranke also can play near the basket, Kasper said. Ranke was named to the all-tournament team at the Hamline University event after scoring 17 points against Bloomington Kennedy and 12 against White Bear Lake. Senior Erika Schlosser is a returning starter at guard and is matched in the backcourt with junior Allie Pickrain, who had 22 points (including six threepoint baskets) against White Bear Lake. Schlosser, who averaged about seven points a game in 2014-15, scored 12 in the opener against Bloomington Kennedy. She likely will handle the ball most of the time, but “in our offense, you’ll also see times when Allie plays point guard and Erika

plays off-guard,” Kasper said. There’s also likely to be an expanded role for senior guard Emma Sinn, who averaged about three points and three rebounds a game last season. Sinn, Schlosser and forward Colleen Muraca are the only seniors on the team. “Their leadership has really helped us the first two or three weeks of practice,” Kasper said. Megan Walstad, a 6-1 sophomore, scored 19 points in the Bloomington Kennedy game. Sophomore Mariah Alipate and junior Miranda Crenshaw are part of a deep group of forwards. Kasper, an assistant coach at Rosemount last season, was hired as Eastview head coach in early June. That didn’t leave a lot of time to organize a summer program, particularly because many of her new players already had started their AAU seasons. “We did have a good summer because our players did a great job of being available for AAU ball and Eastview basketball,” Kasper said. “I can’t say enough about their dedication.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagle boys in a 1 vs. 2 matchup at Tip-Off Classic Apple Valley plays Hopkins on Saturday afternoon by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

• The girls basketball team defeated East Ridge 56-44 on Tuesday for its third victory in a row. After a seasonopening loss to No. 2-ranked Minnetonka, Apple Valley has won games against Bloomington Kennedy, Rochester Century and East Ridge. Guard Megan Baer, a ninth-grader, scored 13 points against East Ridge, with Aleya Parker and Marie Olson adding 12 each. Olson, a sophomore forward, scored 20 points in the Eagles’ 67-45 victory at Rochester Century last Saturday. Apple Valley plays host to Farmington in its South Suburban Conference opener Tuesday, Dec. 15. • The girls hockey team is 3-6 overall after losing to Shakopee 1-0 on Tuesday night. The Eagles, who have lost their last four games, play at Farmington at 7:30 p.m. Friday. • The boys hockey team plays at Shakopee at 7 p.m. Thursday and at Farmington at 3 p.m. Saturday. Apple Valley is 1-2-1 after a 5-1 loss to Eastview on Saturday afternoon. Tristen Plagge scored early in the second period to give Apple Valley the lead before Eastview responded with four goals in less than six minutes.

On Saturday, Apple Valley and Hopkins could give basketball fans a taste of what March could be like. While it’s still a little early to project state tournament matchups, the Eagles and Royals are among the top contenders for the Class 4A championship. They will play at 3:45 p.m. Saturday in Breakdown Tip-Off Classic at Minnetonka High School. Apple Valley and Minnetonka were ranked first and second in last week’s state Class 4A poll. The Eagles, who also play at Lakeville South at 7 p.m. Friday, are 5-0 after demolishing Prior Lake 92-38 in South Suburban Conference play Tuesday night. Guard Gary Trent Jr. made 19 of 27 shots and scored 46 points, tying a school record he set in the opening game of the season. Trent, who’s being recruited by most of the top college basketball programs in the country, has three 40-point games already this season and is averaging 35.6 points. Hopkins’ top player is senior Amir Coffey, a 6-foot-8 senior who has signed with the University of Minnesota. Coffey is averaging 16.8 points and 17 rebounds. He had 32 points and Email Mike Shaughnessy 17 rebounds as Hopkins (5-0) defeated mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com. Hoover, Iowa, 93-70 last Saturday.

Jail time for area man who pretended to arrest 13-year-old Farmington’s Andrew Scott Benson, who was 18 at the time of his arrest, was sentenced to a year in jail last month for false imprisonment following an incident earlier this year when he pretended to arrest a child. All but 10 days of the sentence was suspended provided Benson agree and abide by the conditions of two-year super-

vised probation. He pleaded guilty last month to false imprisonmentintentional restraint. An impersonating an officer charge was dismissed. According to the criminal complaint, Benson was recorded on video “arresting” a 13-year-old and taking the individual for a drive in a car affixed with emergency lights on

Jan. 18 during a gathering of several 13- to 16-year-olds. In the video, Benson is dressed in a shirt with a police patch, a vest, utility belt and other items to look like an officer when he confronts a 13-year-old child in the basement of a private home in Farmington, according to the complaint. He asked the child for his

wallet and to recite the alphabet. He then gave the child a Miranda warning, handcuffed the child, escorted the child out of the residence and placed him into his “undercover car,” which was affixed with red and blue flashing emergency lights. An officer contacted Benson, who said he thought it would be funny to scare the child into not using drugs.

Benson said he was training to be an EMT and was a former fire department Explorer and obtained the outfit from an online auction site. The child indicated he did not consent to being handcuffed, placed in the back of a car or being driven around. — Andy Rogers

Better Business Bureau tips on non-traditional accommodations In recent years, vacationers the world over have begun exploring alternatives to standard lodging. Though hotels are still very popular with travelers, online services like Airbnb and VRBO are attracting guests as well, and expanding the definition of vacation lodging. These websites allow property owners all over the world to offer part or all of their homes, condos or townhomes – even castles – for rent to vacationing guests. In an effort to help people new to this non-traditional vacation rental market, Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offers some practical tips to navigate this process. “It’s a whole new world when it comes to vacation rentals,” said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “And while that’s exciting

for many, it also means the old rules don’t always apply and vacationers need to be clear on all the details of any agreement they enter into.” Many consumers have found that it can be fun to search for unusual or unique lodging arrangements on sites such as Airbnb and VRBO. For example, the possibility of staying in a beach bungalow or brownstone, as opposed to a hotel room, is appealing to some. These accommodations also offer what standard rentals sometimes don’t – choice locations, unique features, and a vast selection of lodging options. While there are advantages to thinking outside the box when it comes to making lodging arrangements for your next trip, BBB notes some of the things travelers should keep in mind when renting from private property owners:

– Booking a rental is often a back and forth process – which usually takes place online – between the owner and the renter. Users should not always expect the ease of being able to book reservations on a last-minute basis. – There’s always the possibility that the property does not match the advertised description, which is why it’s important to read online reviews posted by people who have rented the property previously. From there, be clear on your rights. – Keep in mind that you might be on your own as far as basic services. While some property owners are “hands on” and provide basic services such as fresh linens or even offer breakfast, others provide living space and nothing more. With those things in mind, BBB offers some additional tips to help ensure a smooth vacation

experience: – When booking a nontraditional rental from a private owner, consider using intermediaries – such as Airbnb or VRBO – as they can help protect against bad experiences through guarantees, protection options, and facilitated transactions. – Be sure to read ratings, reviews and comments. This will provide you with insight into the property as well as the owner and experiences prior renters have had. – Do research on the neighborhood. You don’t want to end up in an area that isn’t safe. – Ask a lot of questions. Some examples of good questions to ask are: Who should be called in case of maintenance issues? Are there any house rules? Do you offer cleaning services? What time is check-in/check-out? How will I access the property (i.e., key pad, hidden key)?

– Stick to the system. If an owner asks you to make a direct bank transfer or asks you to message them outside the site’s communication system, treat those requests as major red flags. – Never wire funds and try to avoid paying in cash. Avoid sending checks made out to cash. These payment methods are often requested by fraudsters. – Be cautious of questionable advertising. If a posting seems too good to be true, with a price tag

far below the market rate, there’s a good chance that it is. As with any purchasing decision, the choice comes down to the individual. If you’re the adventurous type, someone looking to try something new, non-traditional vacation rentals may be the way to go. If, on the other hand, you like to know exactly what you’re getting into, booking a room at a hotel you’ve researched in advance at bbb.org is likely your best bet.

BRIDGE, from 1A

Kearney described the 147th Street transit station as “not complete” without the sky bridge, noting that the towers for the elevated walkway are already in place. “Imagine London Bridge if they built the towers, but didn’t complete the bridge,” he said. “The job has to be finished.” The transit station at 147th Street was one stop on the Senate Capital Investment Committee’s regional tour Dec. 2 of sites and projects seeking state funding through the bonding bill, in a year in which the state has a $1.9 billion budget surplus. Other local stops for the senate delegation that day included the Minnesota Zoo and Inver Hills Community College.

southbound stop — a walk of about a quarter mile — to underscore the challenges pedestrians currently face there. The city has spent more than $2.6 million for the construction of the Red Line bus rapid transit system along Cedar Avenue and other highway improvements, and new development and redevelopment along the corridor in Apple Valley totals $82 million since 2011, city officials said. The transit station at 147th Street is located within the city’s “Jobs and Activity Center,” an area of about 400 acres surrounding the Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 intersection. As of 2014 the area had 450 businesses and an esti- Email Andrew Miller at mated 950 jobs. andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com. HATS, from 1A

spectfully.” All 379 hats Root made are different, and she got creative with some of the designs. There’s a hat that resembles a Hobbit house from “The Lord of the Rings” film series and a number were made to look like hats seen on the TV series “Downton Abbey.” Root said she spent six to eight hours knitting each hat. “I had a lot of fun doing it,” Root said. “I could do whatever the heck I wanted and there were no rules.” Root, who runs a small business with her husband, is part of a knitting group that meets weekly at Panera Bread in Apple Valley. The group is open to anyone with an interest in knitting. “We’ll even take crocheters,” she said with a laugh. More about Open Door Pantry and its food truck program is at www. theopendoorpantry.org.

The hats will be donated to Eagan-based food shelf Open Door Pantry, which will distribute the hats through its food truck that visits the colleges regularly. Root has taken classes at both community colleges, and said she understands the economic pressures facing many of the students there. She said her hat project was done, in part, to help bring attention to the value of Open Door Pantry and its food truck and to encourage others to get involved with the food shelf. “A lot of these students are juggling three jobs and a family and trying to carve out time to study,” she said. “With the changing economy, a lot of people need to retool mid-career and go back to school, and for a lot of the students who use it (the food truck), it’s just a temporary thing.

Thisweekend Holiday humor of ‘Elf’ comes to Lakeville Musical ‘Elf Jr.’ runs Dec. 11-27 at arts center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Fans of the 2003 Christmas comedy film “Elf� starring Will Ferrell will find lots to like about “Elf Jr.: The Musical.� The Play’s The Thing Productions, which will be presenting the regional premiere of “Elf Jr.� Dec. 11-27 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, is embracing the whimsical, childlike spirit of the original film, according to director and producer Dayna Railton. “It’s a lot like the movie — if you like the movie, you’ll like the show, which has the added bonus of singing and dancing,� said Railton, who founded the Lakeville-based theater

group in 2009. The charm of the show has a lot to do with Buddy, the human raised as one of Santa’s elves who goes in search of his human father. Played by Ferrell in the film, Buddy is played by 15-year-old Camden Mast, of Lakeville, in the TPTT show. “It makes us all kind of rediscover our inner child,� Railton said of Buddy’s antics, such as when he unintentionally wreaks havoc in his father’s business office, or when he lapses into high dudgeon upon realizing a department store Santa isn’t the real McCoy. “He approaches everything with a childlike quality.� Railton said “Elf Jr.� is a family-oriented show that will appeal to fans of the 2003 film and even those Fifteen-year-old Camden Mast, of Lakeville, is cast as Buddy, a human raised as one unfamiliar with it. About 35 teens and chil- of Santa’s elves, in “Elf Jr.: The Musical� presented by The Play’s The Thing Producdren comprise the show’s tions. (Photo submitted)

Event is Dec. 17 at Lakeville arts center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Local musicians are entering the spotlight for a holiday concert on Thursday, Dec. 17, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The Holiday Local Musician Showcase features about a half dozen singersongwriters hailing from Dakota County or nearby, including Timothy Howe and Jud Hailey of Lakeville, and Dustin Hatzenbuhler of Apple Valley. Nathan Kremer, who’s co-producing the event with his wife, Jessica, under the banner of their art collective Art Love Purpose, said rounding up local talent for the showcase was no problem. Many of the acts are musicians he worked with while serving as booking manager at Rudy’s Redeye Grill in Lakeville from 2007 to 2010. “I started a ‘local musician night’ back in 2008 when most of these musicians were just kids,� Kremer said. “Now eight years later they are all very successful musicians playing all over the metro area.� The 6-10 p.m. event kicks off with a social hour from 6-7 p.m., followed by 30 minute sets by each performer on the arts center stage.

Youth intervention works, speakers say Programs receive $6 million from state, impact 15,000 with funds, though more funds needed by Gretchen Schlosser SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Youth intervention programs work, helping young people turn their lives away from bad choices and ensuring the youth become contributing members of society, said several community leaders supporting the Youth Intervention Programs Association, which includes Dakota Countybased groups and about 230 member organizations in the state. “Youth intervention saves lives, that’s the most important part,� said Sen. Melisa Franzen, DFLEdina. “This is an easy way to support our communities.� Franzen will continue to push for increased youth intervention funding during the 2016 legislative session, she said during a press conference Dec. 4 at the Brooklyn Park Community Activity Center, prior to the association’s annual meeting

and a summit on at-risk youth and community support for helping young people. It costs about $2,000 per year to have a young person participate in a youth intervention program, Paul Meunier, executive director of Youth Intervention Programs Association said. Intervening when the young person has first contact with the court system or juvenile delinquency is much cheaper than a lifetime of support by the social services program, such as $73,500 a year for residential treatment, $56,100 a year for group home residency or $40,200 a year for placement in a juvenile correction facility. The association is woefully underfunded, Meunier says, with the current state funding of $6 million per biennium overshadowed by $17 million in grant requests from the participating organizations.

The research found a $4.89 return on a $1 investment. Considering that the association’s funding must be matched by local dollars, the state’s return on investment is almost $10 per $1, Meunier said. Trenton Washington, 15, of Minneapolis, was expelled from school, stealing food and charged with third-degree burglary before he got into an intervention program. His mentor has helped him turn things around.

ers during the press conference. “It doesn’t matter who cares, only that someone does,� said Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart, noting that the caring adult who comes into a young person’s life through intervention programs can be a mentor, coach or teacher. James Backstrom, Dakota County attorney, said that the youth accountability programs help young people continue their education and provide family support for success. “We put them on track to make them productive members of society,� he said. “These programs are the best way to address atrisk youth.� Our society has it backward, Meunier says, instead of paying on the backside when adults fall through the cracks into social services programs,

have drug and alcohol problems, lack job skills and get involved in crime, it’s cheaper to intervene with young people before they get to adulthood. “We can put it up front, and help them become successful adults,� he said. Youth Intervention Programs Association hosted six summit events around the state, ending with the Brooklyn Park event, to promote youth intervention and increase understanding of community, business and government officials that they can change their communities by helping young people. “At-risk youth are in every neighborhood,� Meunier said. “They affect all of us.� Contact Gretchen Schlosser at gretchen.schlosser@ ecm-inc.com.
