A family tragedy several years ago sparked Nisha Malaviya’s interest in drug-abuse prevention and awareness. Malaviya, who opened ARCpoint Labs in Apple Valley in November, saw her cousin lose everything — including her life — to opioid painkiller addiction. Following back surgery to

correct injuries she suffered in a motorcycle accident, Malaviya’s cousin got hooked on the pain medication she was prescribed. Trapped in a downward spiral, the married mother saw her family life dissolve before finally dying as a result of her addiction. “That had a pretty significant impact on my vision of what a drug addict looks like,” said Malaviya, of Bloomington. “It’s what drew me to this business. Trying to educate and build awareness is Photo by Andrew Miller a high priority for me.” Nisha Malaviya opened ARCpoint Labs at 14690 Galaxie Ave. in Apple Valley last year. See ARCPOINT, 6A

When he was hired to manage Burnsville’s performing arts center, Brian Luther was confident he could chip away at its annual six-figure operating deficits. His only question was by how much. More than five years later, Luther still isn’t one to make guarantees. But on the heels of its best year yet, the executive director of the city-owned Ames Center says it is poised for further success. The center finished 2016 with a $32,447 operating loss, far below the $98,166 loss forecast in its budget. It was the third straight year of sub$100,000 operating losses, and an improvement over 2015’s $87,717 loss. And after the center’s shaky beginning — it lost $547,854 in 2009, the year it opened, according to the center’s 2015 annual report — city officials are pleased. “Hallelujah when we hit that point one day when the Ames Center is actually showing a small profit,” City Council Member Dan Kealey said last month. The operating loss has declined each year except 2015, when it rose by about $10,200 to $87,817. The previous year was another landmark year, when the deficit was more than halved from 2013’s total of $160,113. “I can’t sit here and say what numbers we’re going to hit going forward,” said Luther, who came to Burnsville in October 2011 after serving as assistant general manager and general manager of the 10,000-seat Rockford MetroCentre arena (now BMO Harris Bank Center) in Rockford, Illinois. “It’s too early to tell for this year. But we’re just in a good position to continue success.”

Local Beyond the Yellow Ribbon group recaps year The Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network has helped many military veterans and their families in the past year. The wealth of activity was recapped by President Paul Chellsen during the Jan. 26 Apple Valley City Council meeting. In 2016, the group helped three military families move into new homes, provided lawn mowing and snow removal, paid a month’s rent for a Gold Star mom along with assisting others financially with emergency dental work, car repairs, tires and Christmas presents. Members raised money for a military family to have a weeklong camp experience during Camp Gratitude at Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake in Marine on St. Croix. The group also: • Held its 14th Veteran Appreciation Dinner in January with more than 100 attending with support from the American Legion. • Participated in the Apple Valley Freedom Days Parade and staffed tables at the Minnesota State Fair and Dakota County Fair.

• Supported 1776 Riders Inc. — a group of motorcyclists who raise money to support veterans through special events. • Provided veterans with information about services they did not know about. Chellsen thanked the city of Apple Valley, the City Council, Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776, Boy Scout Troop 293 and Bogart’s Apple Place Bowl for their financial support and the many volunteers. Mayor Mary HammanRoland said it was remarkable what the group was able to accomplish. She said they serve as a role model in the community for all they do for our active service members and veterans. “We are fortunate to have this volunteer group at work in our community and we thank them for their tireless efforts,â€? Hamman-Roland said. Group members in attendance at the meeting were vice president Jay Peterson, director Bill Tschohl and committee members Tom Lawell, Dick Geiger, Bill Swanstrom and Tom Werner.

Longtime U football radio voice, Rosemount resident dies by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Longtime University of Minnesota athletics radio announcer and Rosemount resident for the past 14 years, Ray Christensen died on Saturday at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. He was 92. Christensen, who in retirement frequently visited classrooms at St. Joseph Catholic School and volunteered in other capacities in Rosemount and beyond, was remembered by family and friends as a gentle, kind man dedicated to his craft. “You just couldn’t find a nicer man,� said John Loch, who knew Ray and Ramona Christensen through their membership at St. Joseph Church. “I remember listening to him as a teenager at night while working at my father’s drug store. He used to co-host a quiz type show — a good neighbor show. He was such a soft spoken, gentle man but knowledgeable and passionate Gopher supporter.� He served as the Rosemount Leprechaun Days parade announcer in 2006 and 2007 and spoke at one of the first Meet the Author events organized the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Christensen was WCCO-radio’s play-by-play broadcaster of Golden Gopher football for 50

years. He said during a 2006 interview with the newspaper that he was more than happy to lend his voice to Rosemount’s annual community celebration as parade announcer. The longtime New Brighton resident made the move to Rosemount in 2003 to be closer to his children — Sue, who lives in Eagan, and Jim, who lives in Woodbury. Ray and Ramona’s other son, Tom, lives in Colorado Springs. “It is a good community to live in,� Christensen said of Rosemount. He said one of his favorite things to do since hanging up his headset after the 2000 football season and the 2001 basketball season was reading books. Not only did he read for himself and was part of a book club, he often entertained kindergarten to second-grade students at St. Joseph School in Rosemount with his linguistic tricks. In addition to the familiar smooth delivery that made his sports announcing so famous, Christensen had a captivating repertoire of distinctive cartoon voices that made children smile and giggle. One of his favorite activities was to have a group of children suggest three unrelated objects, places or people to weave into a story.

“It really keeps you thinking,� he told the newspaper. “I start with ‘once upon a time’ and usually one of the three things will help me get it going. I loved doing it when I started (in New Brighton) and I wanted to keep doing it here (in Rosemount).� He also recorded audio books for the for Minnesota Library for the Blind. When he was not reading books, Christensen wrote them. In 2001, he wrote “Gopher Tales: Stories from All Eleven University of Minnesota’s Men’s Sports.� The book is the result of interviews with coaches. During the yearlong project Christensen said he would often interview and start writing the chapters on the same day. Christensen’s autobiography, “Golden Memories,� was published in 1993. He wrote much of the book himself with coauthor Stew Thornley. It recounts most of his time in the broadcast booth calling University of Minnesota games.

Starting young In his younger days, Christensen’s active imagination found an outlet in combining sports and speaking. He says he would play a baseball dice game with two friends, one of them longtime St. Paul Pioneer Press sports columnist Don Reily, where Chris-

tensen and his pals would call the action dictated by the dice. This style of placing description to the prompting of tidbits of information carried over to his days broadcasting on the radio for St. Paul Saints and Minneapolis Millers baseball games. Christensen wouldn’t travel with the team, so he would broadcast the games from the studio while receiving a ticker from the game. “Since this is what we did recreating the game as kids, it was a cinch,� he said. This attention to action and words laid the foundation for his career describing games and delivering the news. KUOM

hired him in May 1946 and in the fall of 1951 Christensen was chosen for the play-by-play job for Gopher football for essentially no pay. His second year, they boosted the pay to $25 per game. After 50 years, Christensen had called 510 Gopher football games and 1,309 Gopher basketball games. “I won’t lie, the 50 years and 500 football games, I wanted to get there,� said Christensen, whose son, Jim, worked as his statistician for 25 of those years. “He would see things that I didn’t,� Ray said. “He knows the rules better than I. He would see if someone had gone to the locker room or tap his knee to indicate someone

had an ice pack on sitting on the sidelines. It was special to have him there.� Memorial Mass of Christian burial will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday with visitation starting at 9:30 a.m. at St. Joseph Church, 13900 Biscayne Ave. A visitation was set for 4-7 p.m. Thursday at Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel at West 50th Street and Highway 100. Memorials can be sent to Communication Center for the Blind in St. Paul, the Danish Center Genealogy Department in Elkhorn, Iowa, or CLA Scholarships at the University of Minnesota.

Opinion Burnsville, railroad should resurrect Dan Patch Line by William Hume SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Get rich by rail! Burnsville economic development plans for the future would get a huge boost if the old Dan Patch rail spur would be revitalized. Infrastructure is shovel ready and waiting for the energetic leadership it will take to use it again as an urban artery of commerce. This rail transit line is offering sustainable economic growth and regional tax base for Burnsville and surrounding Dakota County. The old railroad track is these days hidden by an overgrowth of trees and various scrub brush, certainly not suitable for your backyard garden. Drive over the bridge on West County Road 42 by County Road 5 and there it is, lying north-south in a valley geography. Originally designed and built over 100 years ago as an electric-powered freight line, this inter-urban rail line could not only support small industrial business freight service, but possibly light-rail commuter service. If you have seen the rail and wood ties overgrown in Burnsville with weeds, you’ve probably wondered who owns the track and right of way. I contacted Andy Cummings, manager of media relations, Canadian Pacific Railroad. Andy informed me, “CP owns the entire MN &

Guest Columnist

William Hume S corridor from MN & S Junction (New Hope-Plymouth border) to Northfield, except for the bridge over the Minnesota River at Savage-Bloomington and the approach to it, which are owned by TC & W. Progressive Rail currently leases the line from the Interstate 35 overpass south to Northfield.” Now you know who owns this strategically placed rail. Now let’s talk about rehab, and getting it ready for business. For miles it runs through Burnsville and Dakota County. I asked Vicki Stute, president of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, if she would comment on this rail line operating again. Vicki said, “Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce supports a long-term, comprehensive, multimodal transportation system in order for the business community to effectively and efficiently move its products and services, as well as its commuting employees. As transportation planning occurs and decisions are made, a thoughtful and thorough cost-benefit

analysis should be considered regarding any new additions or improvements, and maintenance of existing infrastructure, to ensure the best use of taxpayer dollars and a strong return on investment for the region.” It’s absolutely necessary that a Chamber of Commerce supports and sells the strategic capitalism of its region. In the Twin Cities metro area, each suburban city competes for sustained economic growth. Location by distance and time to roads, bridges and rail transit are of critical importance in attracting new business and residential development. An urban city plans and functions on tax revenue. Several metro cities have huge industrial parks drawing tax wealth from highly profitable manufacturers and private business offices. Other suburban villages have high-income residential taxpayers, each paying tens of thousands of dollars in local property tax for their home sites. Combine both of these urban assets and you have the perfect suburb. Imagine revitalized Dan Patch rail transit. How can this vital infrastructure running through Burnsville be rebuilt? I’ll list an order of design and eventual construction progression I think would be a logical approach. Let me break it down. Today, the Dan Patch (CP) rail line passes close to residential and Burnsville

parks land. An environmental impact survey (EIS) would have to be completed to assess all implications for the natural and residential environments. Confirmation would be needed to prove that this enterprise is a desired addition to Burnsville commerce. Dan Patch is a rail line for profit, commercial business development and return on investment for the owners. A plan called a sustainability report would estimate this freight transit’s potential. An opportunity exists for a railroad and suburb to form a public-private cooperative to create jobs, industrial tax base and a strategic economic location for future growth. Hard rail commuter transportation such as the Northstar Commuter Rail Line would be an additional option from the western suburbs all the way to Northfield. New infrastructure is the best way a village can display a progressive outlook. Hopefully the city of Burnsville and Canadian Pacific Railroad will cooperate to bring new and prosperous life to the old Dan Patch rail line.

Fighting workplace mandates on two fronts by Doug Loon SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Chamber continues to challenge workplace mandates at the Legislature and in the courts. A recent court ruling underscores the importance of our parallel efforts. A Minneapolis ordinance is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2017, that requires businesses to provide paid sick time to employees. St. Paul has a similar ordinance scheduled to take effect the same date. Duluth is considering enacting its own set of workplace regulations. It’s only time before similar measures come to a city near you. In October 2016, the Minnesota Chamber brought a lawsuit against the city of Minneapolis asking the court to do two things: No. 1, issue a temporary injunction prohibiting the city from enforcing its “paid sick and safe time” ordinance on any businesses; No. 2, permanently rule the ordinance unlawful. The Hennepin County District

Guest Columnist

Doug Loon Court delivered a mixed ruling on Jan. 19. Judge Mel I. Dickstein said Minneapolis may not enforce its ordinance on employers “resident outside the geographic boundaries of the city of Minneapolis.” He also ordered that, for now, the city could enforce the ordinance against employers within the city. We are appealing the decision. The judge’s mixed ruling underscores the importance of our efforts at the Capitol to pass the Uniform State Labor Standards Act, which would prohibit local governments from passing their own mandates on wages, benefits and scheduling. The Act would keep Minnesota’s laws uniform, our

communities open for business, and our economy thriving for all. The legislation is being spearheaded by the United for Jobs Coalition, a broad-based coalition of local chambers of commerce and business associations led by the Minnesota Chamber. The measure was approved by the House Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee on Thursday, Feb. 2, by a 13-9 vote. We do not believe the state should dictate private-sector employee benefits. The only thing worse than state government dictating one-size-fits-all mandates on all employers is for local governments to do so, thus creating a patchwork of local laws for businesses to navigate across the state. Minnesota’s economic strength is due to a diverse business landscape. Distinctive operations and workplace needs require that employers have the flexibility to develop wages and salaries, benefits, policies and procedures that best serve the mutual needs of employer and em-

ployees. Borrowing a sports phrase, the best defense is a strong offense. Minnesota employers consistently receive national recognition for providing tremendous workplace environments. We will continue to challenge workplace mandates. At the same time, legislators also need to hear about the voluntary wages and benefit plans employers use to attract and retain employees in this competitive marketplace. Minnesota businesses increasingly are offering leave plans that meet the needs of employees such as offer paid maternity and paternity leave, paid sick and safe leave, and other benefits — without state or local mandates. Please share your best practices by contacting Jennifer Byers at 651-292-4673 or jbyers@mnchamber. com. Doug Loon is president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce – www.mnchamber.com.

I am not sure, however, that what they have done lines up with the values of those of us who live in the 2nd District. So far they have voted to gut an Obama administration gun-control regulation that would prevent some people with mental illness from purchasing firearms. I know Lewis talked of removing unneeded regulations. I

doubt many voters in the 2nd District knew this was what he meant. After all, the Virginia Tech shooter, the Fort Hood shooter, the Tucson shopping mall shooter, and the Aurora, Colorado, shooter all demonstrated signs of continuous behavioral health issues and mental illness. The rule required that disability recipients with severe mental disorders be added to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background check system. Since those who are told they may not purchase a firearm have the right of appeal, I see this a reasonable attempt to keep citizens safe. The GOP-led congress has also voted to roll back the Stream Protection

Rule. This rule restricted coal companies from dumping mining wastes into streams and waterways. Minnesota passed the Legacy Amendment to, among other things, protect drinking water sources and restore wetlands. I do not understand why Lewis would think we wouldn’t care about all waterways in our country. I have no idea why Lewis believes people in the 2nd District wanted Congress to eliminate the rule that requires oil and gas companies to disclose payments to foreign governments to gain access to their energy resources. Isn’t this just a sensible way to control for bribery? I would like to know what other regulations

‘Shoot for the Moon’ event set March 4 The Mary Moon Foundation, an Apple Valley-based nonprofit founded by Peter and Christine O’Keefe in memory of their daughter Mary, will host its “Shoot for the Moon� event on March 4. The event at Nickelodeon Universe will not only provide Twin Cities’ families with hours of amusement at a discounted rate, but it will also contribute to a major milestone for pediatric hospice homes. Funds raised at the event will support Crescent Cove, a nonprofit set to open the third children’s hospice home in the United States and the first in Minnesota before the end of the year. When 3-year-old Mary O’Keefe battled cancer in 2009, she spent a good part of her final year, including her final day, in the hospital. While hospitals provide critical acute care and treatment for their patients, they don’t provide a residential setting for end-of-life care. The O’Keefes said they wish a children’s hospice home had been available to their family for their daughter’s final days. Though some hospitals offer larger rooms to accommodate a child who is dying and his or her family, they are typically near other hospital rooms where children are receiving treatment. “I remember leaving Mary’s room on the Oncology Unit and seeing the other pediatric children in the hall, still alive, while Mary’s body was being transported to the hospital morgue,� Christine O’Keefe said. “A pediatric hospice program would have been beneficial to our family if it was available to us. I believe a team who specializes in end-of-life care would have helped give us the

tools to handle the painful transition in the family dynamics with losing a child.� While there are more than 4,700 hospice homes for adults across the country, there are only two dedicated respite and hospice homes for children. “Pediatric end-of-life needs are unique and require different needs than adult hospice and respite care,� Christine O’Keefe said. “Mary still wanted to play, even on the day she passed away. Children have this innate need to learn and play even through sickness and failing health.� According to Crescent Cove’s founder, Katie Lindenfelser, “Children’s hospital providers in the Twin Cities all agree that there is a great need for a pediatric hospice and respite care home, and it is our goal to work collaboratively.� Crescent Cove will provide palliative care (pain and symptom control) during respite stays in between treatments and at the end-of-life, after treatments have been completed. In doing so, it will collaborate with the child’s primary provider and other organizations in the community that serve children. “With the community’s support, we intend to close on the purchase of a hospice home on Twin Lakes in Brooklyn Center in mid-March,� Lindenfelser said. “We will spend the next several months renovating so that it meets the needs of children and families, and we plan to open in the fall of 2017. The Mary Moon Foundation is helping us reach our goal to bring loving care and support to children and families!� Hosting this year’s family-centric fundraiser at Nickelodeon Universe

has special meaning to Mary’s family. Mary visited Nickelodeon Universe just 12 days before she passed away. “Mary was very weak and was in her final days of her battle with neuroblastoma, but she did not want to leave Nickelodeon Universe because she got to be a kid and have fun,� her mother said. “What a wonderful distraction from her medical issues to go on rides and forget for a moment that she had incurable cancer. I will always treasure these final days with my beloved daughter. I am looking forward to people attending our fundraiser, on Mary’s 11th birthday, to have the same enjoyable experience at Nickelodeon Universe.� Though this will be the Mary Moon Foundation’s first event at Nickelodeon Universe, hosting charity events is not new to them. The March 4 event marks the sixth annual charity event for families hosted by the foundation. The organization also held a Hairball benefit concert last July to raise funds for hospitalized children. In addition to the organization’s financial dedication to Crescent Cove, the Mary Moon Foundation has also raised $100,000 for Child-Family Life Services at University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital since its inception. This year’s “Shoot for the Moon� event features discounted all-day admission to Nickelodeon Universe, entertainment and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Crescent Cove and Child-Family Life Services at University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. Tickets can be purchased at www. marymoonfoundation. org.

He acknowledges hearing the question since he came to Burnsville: When will the place break even? Luther’s answer is that with a good business plan and strategic investments, the annual operating loss — which is subsidized by taxpayers — will take care of itself. “It’s a number that really gauges if we’re successful or not,� Luther said. “We’ve seen such a decline in that number over the years that it’s really just showing we’re on the right path.� Growth in the number of concerts and other events in the 1,000seat main auditorium contributed to 2016’s success, along with increased food and beverage sales and solid profits from the center’s “angel fund� performance series. Luther’s employer, Iowa-based facilities manager VenuWorks, also won council approval last year for a two-year extension of its Ames Center contract. “That was another big achievement for us� in 2016, Luther said.

Events in the main auditorium totaled 156, compared with 139 the previous year, according to VenuWorks. The number of concerts rose from 20 to 24, and included some notable names — rocker Todd Rundgren, the Oak Ridge Boys, the Rides (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Stephen Stills and Barry Goldberg) and ex-punk rocker Henry Rollins, who performed his intense spoken-word act in November. “There were definitely a lot of punk rock jackets,� Luther said of the Rollins audience. “There were hipsters. It was an audience that we haven’t had before, and it was exciting to have a new audience.� A new, permanent concession stand debuted in December. Points of sale were increased from two to three, and new screens show food and beverage items along with upcoming shows. The old mobile concession stand was moved upstairs, adding more points of sale. Net food and beverage profit rose from about $113,000 in 2015 to $138,000, Luther said, and the

last quarter of concessions sales was up by about $10,000 over the previous quarter, hinting at what the new stand can achieve. “Our (per-customer) spending went up,� he said. “We also had higher gross sales, but knowing that the consumers were spending more showed that we Brian Luther could get through the lines a lot quicker.� Shows in the “angel fund� series netted profit of $37,461 compared with the $6,825 forecast in the budget, Luther said. Angel fund shows are those that the otherwise rental-only venue buys. The center’s angel fund was seeded with $50,000 in city money described as a loan. Shows in the main auditorium are the center’s primary profit center, Luther said, and concessions are the “primary ancillary

revenue stream.� The ability to take risks on the angel fund shows has boosted the bottom line, said Luther, the center’s third director since it opened. He’s done an “outstanding job� reducing the operating deficit, said Kathy Cleveland, chair of the center’s citizen advisory commission. Commissioners are seeking new ways to engage the community in the facility, possibly through partnerships with area schools, she said. Commissioners also want more feedback on the kind of programming people want, she said. “We’re taking a deep dive on that,� Cleveland said.

Sports Chasing titles: Lightning wrestlers primed for postseason Delich, Lindstrom secure their places in school history by Mike Shaughnessy

His closest match was a 6-1 victory in the 195-pound championship match of the Bi-State Invitational in Wisconsin. Delich is the second Eastview wrestler to win his weight class at that holiday tournament. The biggest difference? “I’m definitely a lot more confident and aggressive,” he said. “I used to wait for the other kid to shoot, then use my strength to take him down. Now I’m the aggressor and the one who’s attacking.” He’s one of two Section 2 wrestlers in the top 10 of the Class 3A 195-pound state rankings. As for returning to the state tournament, “I don’t think any match is going to be easy, but if I just wrestle like I’ve been wrestling all year, I think I’ll make it,” he said. Delich said it wasn’t always easy to stick with wrestling, especially once he knew football would be his main sport. “But I was never going to quit,” he said. “I have (Eastview co-head wrestling coach Kurt) Habeck here; he’s pushed me since I was a seventh-grader to be the best I could be, and I knew I could never let him down.” Habeck also helped introduce Delich to the weight room, and now it’s a place the unbeaten Lightning wrestler loves to be. Delich plays football at about 210 pounds but has to drop some of that weight in the winter to build endurance for wrestling. In the spring, he looks forward to regaining the muscle. “I love the spring season because you put on the weight week after week,” he said. “I just love the process of seeing yourself getting stronger.” Delich and Lindstrom are trying to become Eastview’s first state individual champions since Adam Fokken in 2001. Whatever happens, their places in the school’s wrestling history appear secure. “I hope they remember me as a kid who loved the weight room and loved to work hard,” Delich said.

A commonly held belief is that to be the best you can be at be at a certain sport, you have to devote yourself to that sport to the exclusion of all others. But two Eastview High School seniors have proven there’s still another way. Alex Lindstrom and Mike Delich are among the best wrestlers in school history. Both hope to end their careers in a few weeks as state champions. But neither one is a hotlypursued college wrestling prospect, largely because neither intends to wrestle in college. Delich has accepted an offer to walk on at the University of Minnesota and play football. Lindstrom will take his bat, glove and spikes to Kirkwood Community College in Iowa in hopes of eventually landing a Division I baseball scholarship. Although both have wrestled for years, the sport never was their fulltime obsession. They were too busy being multisport athletes. Delich also throws the discus and shot put for the Eastview track team. Lindstrom was a running back for the football team, often serving as a blocking back while Delich ran with the ball. Delich, ranked second in Class 3A at 195 pounds, doesn’t compete on the USA Wrestling spring and summer state and national tournament circuit, choosing instead to spend time on his other sports and build himself up in the weight room. “I never did any of that,” he said, referring to off-season wrestling tournaments, “and I never really even looked at it as a disadvantage. I figured I’m doing other sports so I’m getting better at other stuff. I’m not just focusing on wrestling, I’m getting better at all athletics.” “I realized in ninth or 10th grade baseball was my best sport, but wrestling was always right there. I thought doing multiple sports helped you improve,” said Lindstrom, Eastview’s career victories leader. “With baseball, you’re working an entirely different muscle group.

Apple Valley boys extend winning streak against Lakeville North Eagles lead conference by two games by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thirty-four points from star guard Tre Jones certainly helped, but Apple Valley’s 11th consecutive victory over Lakeville North wasn’t secure until Spencer Rolland hit the deck. Rolland, a 6-foot-7 junior forward, drew an offensive foul in the final minute of the game with the Eagles protecting a three-point lead. Apple Valley went on to defeat North 60-51 on Tuesday night and extend its lead over the Panthers to two games in South Suburban Conference boys basketball. With Apple Valley leading 54-51, North guard Tyler Wahl drove into the lane and collided with Rolland. The call went Apple Valley’s way, and the Eagles scored the final six points of the game. “That could have potentially been an ‘and-one’ and tied the game,” Apple Valley coach Zach Goring said. “We tell those guys, ‘Take a charge, take a charge,’ and in my opinion that was the play of the game.” Rolland also guarded

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) North forward Nathan Reuvers, who scored 17 points, about 10 below his season average. The Eagles’ victory was their 11th in a row. Apple Valley, 17-2 overall, is 11-0 in the South Suburban and leads second-place Lakeville North by two games. Lakeville South is three back. “Any time we can get a win against (North), it’s huge for us,” said Goring. “Being able to separate ourselves from them in the conference is really important.” Lakeville North is 17-2 overall, with the only two losses coming against Apple Valley. The Pan-

thers haven’t beaten the Eagles since 2012. For a while in the second half, it looked as if North’s fortunes against Apple Valley could change as the Panthers took a couple of one-point leads after trailing 30-21 at halftime. “We’ve had great games with them for a long time,” Goring said. Jones played all 36 minutes, scoring 34 points and taking down 12 rebounds, both game highs. Nathan Macho added 10 points. Mason Morse had six points, including a couple of key baskets in the final minutes. Reuvers was 8-for-16 from the field and had 11 rebounds but shot just one free throw. Apple Valley for the most part left Rolland one-on-one against Reuvers. “We wanted to make sure we showed (Reuvers) the other four players were available for help,” Goring said. “They ran quite a few nice lob plays around the rim, and he just catches it and throws it in. We don’t have anybody 6-10 to stop that.” North was coming off an 81-77 double-overtime victory over Eden Prairie on Monday night in which Reuvers scored 33 points, Spencer Fossey had 15, Ethan Igbanugo had 14 and Wahl scored 13.

Local skiers put up fast times Eastview girls will return to state Nordic meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

No. 1-ranked Kelly Koch of Burnsville skied to a convincing victory at the Section 1 Nordic skiing meet Tuesday at Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington. Koch had the fastest time in both disciplines to take first in the girls pursuit race by almost two minutes. Patrick Acton of Eagan, ranked third in the state, was Section 1 boys pursuit champion. Acton also helped lead Eagan to the section boys team championship, 29 points in front of Winona. Burnsville was third in the boys meet, two points behind Winona, but only the top two teams advance to state. Burnsville and Eastview, both 2016 state qualifiers, return to the girls meet this year after taking the top two spots in the Section 1 meet. Koch had times of 15 minutes, 50 seconds in the 5-kilometer classic race and 14:26 in the freestyle race for a combined 30:16. Second was her Burnsville teammate, Krista Holmstrom, who finished in 32:03. Holmstrom had the second-fastest times on each leg of the pursuit race. Eastview was 25.5

points ahead of Lakeville South in the race for second place in the girls team competition. Two top-10 finishers – Ana Brakke (fourth, 33:28) and Gabby Kraemer (sixth, 33:54) paced the Lightning. Kareena Clendening (13th, 35:32) and Claire Nack (18th, 36:00) finished in the second 10. Anna Schumann (27th, 37:14), Serena Hall (29th, 38:04) and Josie Roberts (31st, 38:21) also skied for the Lightning. The top six pursuit finishers not on one of the qualifying teams also advance to the state meet. On the girls side, that means Lakeville South’s Brianne Brewster (third, 32:58), Harmony ZweberLanger (eighth, 34:22) and Violet Tessier (10th, 34:42) are on their way to the state meet Thursday, Feb. 16, at Giants Ridge. So too is Lakeville North’s Emma Drangstveit (11th, 34:48). Acton had the fastest freestyle time in the boys race by 28 seconds, which allowed him to pass Eagan teammate Ryan Steger for the pursuit championship. Acton’s combined time was 26:31. Steger, who led by 15 seconds after the classic race, was second overall in 26:43. Bryant Ruff of Eastview advanced to the boys

state meet by finishing seventh in 28:36. Lakeville North was sixth, Eagan seventh and Rosemount 10th in the girls team standings. On the boys side, Eastview, Lakeville South and Lakeville North placed fifth through seventh.

Section 1 Nordic Jack Lindsay of Burnsville and Bailey Servais of Lakeville North were individual champions at the Section 6 Alpine skiing meet Tuesday at Buck Hill. Lindsay gets another chance at the state championship he almost won last year, and Servais gets to go to the state meet with her team, as North finished second in the girls competition. Apple Valley was sixth, Burnsville seventh, Eastview 11th, Rosemount 13th and Lakeville North 18th in the boys team competition. Lakeville South’s Lauren Geary, a top-10 finisher at state last season, earned the chance to go back by finishing fourth in the Section 6 meet in 49.66. Rosemount’s Renee Boldus (seventh, 51.00) and Eastview’s Kate Young (15th, 52.29) also advanced. The state meet will be Wednesday, Feb. 15, at Giants Ridge.

Common flu myths to forget by Dr. Chad Masters

by Twin Cities Kids Club

SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each year I hear many of the same concerns or misconceptions from patients regarding flu. That’s why I’ve compiled this list of “common flu myths” − to not only debunk them, but to help educate patients so we can put these myths to bed and have a healthy season. Myth 1: I don’t need a shot. I haven’t gotten the flu yet. Truth: That’s great you haven’t had the flu, but each year the strain is different, so just because you haven’t had the flu yet, doesn’t mean you won’t ever. There’s also another really important reason to get a flu shot — and that’s for the people around you — children, pregnant women, co-workers, elderly individuals or anyone with a compromised immune system. Getting a flu shot is a healthy choice for you, your family and the entire community. Myth 2: If I get the shot, I will get the flu. Truth: Flu vaccines given with a needle, which is the recommended method, are either made with inactive flu virus or no virus at all. This means you will not get the flu from getting a shot. There may be some minor side effects, however. The most common are soreness, redness, swelling where the shot

There seems to be no avoiding the flu, but there are steps families can take to help prevent it. was given, low-grade fever, headache or muscle aches. It’s easy for some to confuse these symptoms with the flu, but they are side effects that go away rather quickly. Myth 3: The flu is spread through dirty surfaces. Truth: While the flu virus can live for a time on surfaces or objects, it is most commonly spread through droplets in the air caused by sneezing, coughing or even talking. The droplets can land in the mouths or noses of nearby people, which is why it is so important to

cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. Myth 4: I got a shot last year so I should be covered. Truth: The vaccine is different each year because the flu strain is different each year. It’s important to get a flu shot each and every year to protect against the flu virus. And remember, flu may seem like a bad cold, but it is often accompanied by extra symptoms like high fever, headache, body aches and feeling completely wiped out. Because it can cause more serious

health complications, such as pneumonia, sinusitis or dehydration, it is advised to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms. Dr. Chad Masters, MD, MBA, is a regional medical director for MedExpress, which provides walk-in health care. He has held numerous medical leadership roles throughout his career and has been a contributor to the medical education field as both an adjunct professor for Nova Southeastern University and assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Five special Valentine’s Day traditions by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

What are your family’s plans for Valentine’s Day? Maybe you’re planning a night out with your spouse, or thinking of the perfect gift for each other. Whatever your plans, how about starting some family traditions with the kids? Children don’t remember all the little store-bought gifts. They remember what’s meaningful. Here are some ideas. 1. Start the day with a special breakfast. Go all out and have the kitchen all decorated when the kids wake up, then serve something everyone loves like pink, heart-shaped

waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. 2. Make homemade Valentine’s Day cards or notes for neighbors or for the local nursing home. 3. Take the whole family out on a date. Have everyone dress up, pick out a favorite restaurant for every-

one and just enjoy being together. 4. Think of small acts of kindness that you can do for each member of the family. Big sister can read her younger brother’s favorite book to him. Or your son, who loves to draw, can make a special picture for Mom. 5. Share love stories. No, not just your favorite fairytale story. How did Mom and Dad meet? Or how about writing letters of love to each other? Have everyone write some words of affection for each other. What do you love about each family member? Be sure to share.

Winter weekends in Minnesota may feel ideal for hiding inside from the cold, snuggling on the couch and watching movies all day. But there are so many fun things to do with the family, no matter what the temperature.

Living It’s cold outside 10 cabin fever remedies for Minnesota kids by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Are the kids bursting with energy from spending too much time inside this winter? Help them get the wiggles out and relieve some cabin fever (for you too) with these family activities. 1. If it’s too cold to play outside, do some physical activity inside. Have a dance party. Play balloon ping pong (make paddles with paper plates and sticks). Build a fort or playhouse (http:// tinyurl.com/gub6cvd). 2. Bring the outside inside. Bring in the snow for sensory fun in bowls or pans. Make colored ice shapes (freeze ice and liquid watercolor in muffin tin). 3. Have a dinosaur dig. Freeze toy dinosaurs (and/or other toys) in a large container. Have your kids melt the ice with salt and hot water, and then “dig� out their finds with gentle tools like cooking utensils. 4. Put together a Cold Days activity box. Depending on the ages of your kids, fill it with crafts, dress-up items, LEGO sets, play dough, family photos, etc. 5. Start a hobby. Is your child interested in building model airplanes, learning a musical instrument, or making jewelry? Learn about hundreds of hobbies at http://www.discoverahobby.com/.

6. Visit your local library. Besides discovering books, movies and activities (like storybags) to keep the kids busy, look up free events at local libraries in your area. Many offer storytimes and fun events just for kids and teens such as trying out 3D printers and LEGO builders clubs. 7. Try a new recipe. While at you’re at the library, borrow a few kid-friendly cookbooks to try some new recipes at home. Or how about creating a family cookbook of your own? 8. Start an indoor mini-garden. Herbs are the easiest to grow inside (and they’re useful for cooking). 9. Bring out the movie camera and make some fun videos. Kids can make movies of their toys, or funny commercials with things around the house. Go to youtube.com for inspiration. 10. Enjoy an indoor treasure hunt. Here are tips from our local, play-expert friends at Tumblewalla.com: 1: Assemble aspiring pirates. 2: Prepare snacks (always an effective incentive) 3: Wrap snacks in socks (clean ones work best) 4: Conceal snack-style treasure around your house, home, room, car, tent, backyard and/or treehouse. Creativity is key. 5: Send your explorers out to sea with a map or their own intuition as a guide.

10 Stay-cation ideas for spring break by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Spring break is coming, and you dream of taking the family to Orlando to escape air that’s so cold it hurts your face. Problem is, the cost hurts your budget more. Whatever your reasons for staying home this spring break, you don’t have to feel like you’re missing out. Here are 10 ideas for a great family stay-cation in the Twin Cities. 1. Be an explorer from your own computer. Many museums offer virtual tours, including the Smithsonian (search “virtual museum tours� online). Or explore the Twin Cities in your own home via webcams: View the animals at Como Zoo http://www.comozooconservatory. org/plan/. Explore a directory of webcams in Minnesota at http://www.minnecam.com. See downtown St. Paul http://www.earthcam.com/usa/minnesota/saintpaul/?cam=stpaul 2. Visit a real museum. See artwork at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, or learn about local history at the Minnesota History Center. Many local museums also offer free admission days. 3. Create your own art. At Color Me Mine in Eagan, attend a workshop or drop in to pick out and paint the ceramic of your choice. https://twincitieskidsclub. com/discount-directory/color-me-mine/ 4. Try Paintball or another indoor

adventure. Splatball and Fallout Shelter Arcade, both in Minneapolis, offer hours of indoor fun. https://twincitieskidsclub. com/discount-directory/ 5. Geocaching. Go on a real-life outdoor treasure hunt with your family any time of year. Learn more at http://www. dnr.state.mn.us/. 6. Local theater. Attend a production at the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis or Stages Theatre in Hopkins. Also check out theatre camps or other options when school’s out at http:// www.childrenstheatre.org/ or https:// www.stagestheatre.org/ 7. Visit a zoo or aquarium. See animals at Como Zoo and the Minnesota Zoo, or walk beneath sharks at the Sea Life Aquarium at the Mall of America. 8. FlyOver America. If you can’t travel across America, why not “fly� over it? We love this new ride experience at the Mall of America. Save 10 percent by buying tickets online: http://www.flyover-america.com/ 9. Go on a day trip to a not-too-far destination like Stillwater or Rochester, visiting downtown, local attractions and restaurants. 10. How about staying overnight at a local hotel? Try family-friendly hotels like the Radisson Blu at the Mall of America or the Depot in Minneapolis. Leave the chores at home and explore nearby attractions like tourists.

or earning a special award at a qualifying event for the state’s 169 teams. The other qualifying teams are: Eastview High — Blue Lightning, Short Circuits and Storm Warning Eagan High — The Green Girls, The Q is Silqent and Sunburst Apple Valley High — Iron Maidens and Attack on Robot Dakota Hills Middle — CrushBots and SOLID Valley Middle — Metal Melters Combined — The Fourth Dimension District 196 has been focused in recent years on its STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum. The district has a K-12 STEM magnet school pathway, in addition to having other STEM-focused curriculum in other schools. The district has also embraced the extracurricular programs offered by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which includes FIRST Lego Challenge, FIRST Tech and FIRST Robotics. Dean Kamen, FIRST founder, said he created the program because he saw sports figures celebrated and recognized by nearly all, but people couldn’t name notable science and technology pioneers. Anne Marie DeBoard, who helps coach two Apple Valley teams, calls FIRST Tech a sport of the mind. She said some students who are new to FIRST Tech don’t know how to turn a

screwdriver the correct way. “They are rookies,” Schwartz said of her own team. “They didn’t know anything. They didn’t know how to build the robot. They didn’t know how to program in Java.” During the season, the students are guided by tech savvy adult mentors — many of them from local companies like Uponor, Dakota Electric and Thomson Reuters — as they learn to design, engineer and build a robot in school classrooms, garages or basements. Teams typically meet for a couple of hours a week, but increase their time together in the weeks before competitions. They learn to work as a team, document their successes and failures, and articulate their ideas to judges or groups during public presentations. “Those are really important skills, especially since many of these kids are on the introverted end of the spectrum,” DeBoard said. “They have respect for each other,” Schwartz said of the CrushBots. “They have different strengths and weaknesses. One girl is better at programming, one in sketching, one at building and completing ideas. … They rely on other people to fill those voids.” She said they have done a good job of having open minds in talking about success and failure without getting any emotion involved. Learning from their mistakes is in the CrushBot’s mission statement. “The best part is watching the kids have to work through the entire design process from start to finish,” said Metal Melters coach Brian Martin.

“I enjoy watching them take the initial challenge, and then have to design, build, test, and repeat multiple times throughout the season. It is a great life experience seeing how things don’t always work with your first solution and that they continually have to adapt.” In the competitions, robots earn points by completing certain tasks, such as placing a ball in a goal, lighting a beacon or performing some other task. Schwartz said it has been difficult for her to find more challenging tasks for her team to complete, since they are able to learn so quickly. “They are so thirsty for STEM,” she said. “They all want to be scientists.” Schwartz said the team of 12- and 13-year-old girls relish in the fact that they are young and about two feet shorter than their high-school age competitors. “They are very confident young women,” she said. “They are taking the middle school by storm. … The sky’s the limit for these girls.”

Community

She said FIRST Tech teams in District 196 bring their robots to elementary schools in an effort to turn young students on to the activity. “The kids leverage that pipeline to build more STEM students,” DeBoard said. DeBoard said teams with girls on them are encouraging elementary-aged girls to get involved in STEM programs like FIRST Lego League. The pipeline works the other way, too. For some teams starting out in middle school, they are able to learn from high school teams that are more than willing to share their knowledge, according to DeBoard. She said local companies are involved in FIRST because they see the value of the program. FIRST, which was founded in 1989, has been around long enough that it’s showing up on resumes hiring managers see for open positions. She said when employers see FIRST on a resume, they know that the applicant can work in a team and has a certain skill set. One wouldn’t be surprised if tech recruiters are found in the crowd this weekend in St. Paul. But these students aren’t looking to find a job just yet. They are aiming to be one of the eight teams that will advance to the next level of competition – FIRST North Super Regional in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. More about Minnesota FIRST is at http://www.hightechkids.org.

Teams also score points for conducting community outreach in a variety of ways, including offering demonstrations of their robot in schools or the local library, mentoring an elementary school’s FIRST Lego team or participating in STEM Day. DeBoard said the typical team logs a combined 500 hours of community outreach. Some students have testified at the state Capitol or even in Washington, D.C., Contact Tad Johnson at tad. to advocate for funding of johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ. STEM programs.

Thisweekend Real-life courtroom drama informs mystery writer’s work Colin T. Nelson featured at Feb. 21 author event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Colin T. Nelson’s years as an attorney have provided ample source material for his mystery and suspense fiction. His three decades as a trial lawyer are evident in his debut trilogy of novels, beginning with “Reprisal,� whose central character is a prosecutor. “I have worked with every imaginable type of person, criminals and the court system people,� he said. “It has taught me the wide variety of humans that occupy our world and given me tolerance for all types of people and behavior. “In a sense, a writer is a social commentator and my work has given me a great and valuable perch from which to observe all of humanity — at its worst and, often, at its best.� Nelson, of Edina, is set to speak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library as part of the Meet the Author series presented by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Admission is free. He plans to discuss his novel “Up Like Thunder,� about an American finance expert who disappears in the southeast Asian nation of Myanmar. Nelson spoke with this newspaper recently about his writing habits, the allure of mystery fiction and how his courtroom experiences have been incorporated into his books. Q: At what point in your life did you know you wanted to be a writer?

A: I imagcases I’ve handled ined myself as a are in my books. writer somewhere Like cop shows, in law school. I people are fascihad been asked nated with courtthroughout my room stories.

I have a small group of readers who critique my first drafts. I’m in that process now. It’s a mystery set in Ecuador, Peru and Machu Picchu. I traveled there about a year and half ago for fun and to do the research. Q: What mystery novels, other than your own, would you

recommend to readers interested in the genre? A: I don’t have any specific books to recommend, except to encourage writers, and everyone, to read widely. We’ve become a nation of tweeters and clichÊs. It’s important to force yourself to read things that stretch your mind and attitudes and cause you to think — maybe even in ways that make you uncomfortable.

Without telling family members of his plans, Ohmann had planned a trip to Las Vegas, and presumably took a flight there Feb. 3 from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport near the Mall of America. After the missing person alert was issued, Ohmann’s family learned of his travel plans from a medical professional Ohmann had been seeing. Police canceled the missing person alert Feb. 4. Apple Valley police have forwarded their reports from the case to Las Vegas authorities. Police said there was no suspicion of kidnapping or other criminal activity. —Andrew Miller

BCBS Eagan Building Campuses. Murder plot to Kill All! Including You.� A Bloomington police officer and his K-9 partner trained to detect explosives found no explosives located at any of the buildings. Employees believed the threat was from Paulson, who is a former employee in the cafe, because the letters made references about the cafe. During an police interview, Paulson said he worked with Blue Cross Blue Shield for five to six years, but held no resentment when he left and denied knowing anything about the letters. After officers left, Paulson requested a call back from the officer and admitted he sent the letters because he was upset about being fired and how he was treated, according to the statement of probable cause. —Andy Rogers

Two charged in Eagan home burglary An Eagan homeowner allegedly chased down a home burglar Jan. 30, which led to two men being charged in Dakota County District Court earlier this week. Daniel Byron Osen, 53, of Inver Grove Heights, and Joshua Daniel Richards, 31, of St. Paul, were charged with felony first-

degree burglary (occupied dwelling), which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail and a $35,000 fine. According to the criminal complaint, an Eagan homeowner said he was in his residence when he heard someone in his attached garage and found a male digging through the

drawers of a toolbox. The male ran, but the homeowner followed the alleged burglar three houses away before the man got into a pickup truck. Eagan officers were able to locate the truck, which was being driven by Richards. —Andy Rogers
