One billion pounds. That’s the estimated weight of cardboard and paper that’s recyclable but ended up in a Minnesota landfill last year. Yes, that’s billion with a “B.” If environmental specialists, like Dakota County’s Jenny Kedward, are successful in their efforts, that heavy weight will be lifted in the coming years. It all starts locally with the Dakota County Solid Waste Master Plan 2030, which has been reviewed in committee and will be considered for approval by the County Board in the coming weeks. It outlines strategies that aim to push the county’s current 50 percent recycling rate to 75 percent by 2030. Kedward said paper and cardboard is the No. 1 target to get businesses and residents recycling more of in the next 12 years. From those who are new to recycling to those who have been doing it

for years, paper and cardboard remains the easiest to recycle. It doesn’t need to be rinsed, it doesn’t need to be kept in a separate container and it’s abundant. “Everyone has a different motivation for recycling,” Kedward said. “The psychology of why people are doing things is fascinating, the social anthropology of it. When someone is messing with your trash, it’s personal.” Tapping into people’s recycling sensibilities is the object of the county’s Environmental Resources Department. There’s plenty of information about recycling and disposal at co.dakota.mn.us/ Environment/Residential/ Pages/default.aspx. Kedward said Dakota County’s recycling rate of around 50 percent is comparable to other Minnesota counties, though it is ahead of some cities that have recycling rates around 30 percent.

Thoughts and prayers — this has been the primary, and hotly contested, response to the events of Wednesday, Feb. 14, in Parkland, Florida. Just before dismissal time, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz allegedly pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle. He killed 17 people — 14 students and three teachers — and wounded 14 more. Communities throughout the nation have responded. For Rev. Bill

Smith, pastor of Lily of the Valley A.M.E. Church in Apple Valley, thoughts and prayers must be accompanied by action. He’s tried that route before. After the 2015 shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Smith came together with other local religious leaders to hold a service focusing on the gospel of love and forgiveness. Prayers and words of support from the congregation created a service that Smith, at the time, described as “uplifting and inspirational.” In the wake of the recent shooting, howev-

er, Smith wants to do more than pray. While some other community leaders are organizing vigils — such as the Vigil for Victims of Gun Violence on Friday, Feb. 23, in Lakeville — Smith wants to start a dialogue. “To light a candle and be silent is just not doing it for me,” he said. “I understand where a lot of pastors are coming from, but something else needs to happen.” On Thursday, Feb. 15, Smith asked local youths to gather at his church at 7 p.m. to begin planning a youth summit. He hopes to get young people together

from churches in Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eagan to talk about what can be done, from their perspective, to end gun violence in their own context. “It’s one of those things where everyone is caught in a dither. We don’t want to do something just for the sake of doing it,” Smith said. “I want to get some young people together and hear from them — give them a chance to express themselves in a safe place.” In an email to the congregation and community members, Smith wrote: “Lily of the Valley stands strongly for peace. Let’s make our little voice heard.

Kindness is key at Shannon Park Fifth-grade students take the lead at Kindness Council by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s an hour before school at Shannon Park Elementary, but a group of more than 40 fifth-grade students is already seated in a classroom, ready to work. The focus of their assignment? Kindness. Kindness Council meets once a month to discuss ways to incorporate acts of kindness into their school day and to hear from different community leaders who demonstrate kindness and compassion. When Principal Erik Davis began his work at Shannon Park this year, there was no leadership group for fifth-graders. Gifted and Talented Young Scholars specialist Karol Hanson approached Davis about creating a Kindness Council, an idea she’d heard about from a friend in Lakeville. “I didn’t want to do the stereotypical student council — you know, raise your hand, give a speech, pick the coolest kid,� Davis said. “When she said everyone is invited, I said right away, ‘Yep, lets do it.’ � In September, Hanson gave an application to every fifth-grade student in the school. Today, 43 kids have become members of the

council. On Friday, Feb. 16, the student leadership group met for their February meeting. They listened to a presentation by Shelia Mason, a representative from Dakota Woodlands. Students learned about the people who live at Dakota Woodlands and the supportive services the organization offers to help homeless families find a pathway to sustainable and independent housing. Throughout her presentation, Mason explained some of Dakota Woodlands’ volunteer opportunities and invited the students and their families to get involved through tutoring, making crafts, playing with the other kids and serving meals. Hanson, Davis and Administrative Assistant Christine Golembiesky have brought in one speaker each month to talk to the council. “The kids are just blown away by what is going on in our community,� Hanson said. “We all learn so much.� After the presentation and a short stretch break, the council reconvened to discuss making the school more inclusive and welcoming for new students.

The council brainstormed items to put in a kit that the school could give to each new student. Ideas included items such as pencils, a copy of the school song, a snack and a T-shirt. They also suggested making a welcome announcement or sign, and the young leaders also signed up to be tour guides and buddies for new students. “Every month has been a super fun journey, figuring out what we are going to do with the kids,� Hanson said. “The kids always surprise us — we tend to think of one activity every month to do.� So far, the students have done things like creating a kindness tree — a piece of art that allowed everyone in the school to contribute a leaf that they decorated to represent an act of kindness they did or observed. Council members have also become notorious for their thank you notes. Hanson keeps a stash outside her classroom. “Any Kindness Council member, any time, goes out to get a note to give to someone,� she said. Perhaps their most successful initiative so far has been the kindness rocks. When teachers see a student doing something kind, they put the classroom kindness rock on the student’s

desk. Some teachers have adapted the project so that students can give the rock to other students, a practice which not only encourages the students to be kind but to notice the kindness of their classmates. Kindness Council members pick up leadership skills by modeling kindness and visiting classrooms to present their kindness initiatives to the entire school. “I feel sometimes as a kid you don’t get to make a lot of decisions in what you are going to do,� said fifthgrade student Laura Snyder. “But this gives us decisions that let us help other people for our school.� Although the group meets an hour before the school day officially starts, Kindness Council members say building a better school is worth getting a little less sleep one day a month. “Waking up early to go to Kindness Council is pretty awesome,� fifthgrader Ben Hansen said. “It’s something not everyone does, so it kind of feels like a privilege, and it is.� Snyder offered a similar reflection. “It’s this community of learners, and we are all reaching toward the same goal for everybody to feel safe, to feel good about themselves and have kindness in their hearts,� Snyder said. “It’s special that you

Bond and levy still improving classrooms

Lightning strikes

Update on District 196 classroom technology implementations

by Amy Mihelich

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When students in the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District take out an iPad in class, it’s usually not to take a selfie or check social media. District 196 students are learning how to use technology, not as a toy, but as an educational tool. With a few swipes, these students can create graphs, charts, videos and collaborative projects. Voters trusted the School Board with funds to bring updated technology into the classroom, and to make technological devices more accessible to District 196 students. How has the money been spent? At the District 196 School Board meeting Monday, Feb. 12, district staff offered an explanation. The 2015 bond referendum provided funds to upgrade the district’s wireless infrastructure and replace its phone system. The 2013 levy referendum secured funds for the oneto-one initiative, which provides each student and staff member with a wireless device, and bolstered the district’s wireless infrastructure. At the meeting, District 196 Technology Coordinator Ed Heier provided a rundown of the major projects. In 2012, the district installed a wireless network, a product by Extreme Networks, in every couple of classrooms. The wireless infrastructure allowed WiFi access throughout the buildings, but could not support the needs of the one-to-one initiative, Heier said. As a result, Heier said, the district moved all of the Extreme access points to the elementary schools, one in every classroom, and added 955 Aruba Networks access points to the secondary schools, one in each classroom as well to prepare for the iPad rollout. Heier said the phone system has also been replaced. The system, purchased in 1989, had gone through a

few major updates, but the last major updated took place 10 years ago. Last year, the phones were no longer supported by the vendor. This past summer and into the beginning of the school year, the district replaced the phones. The new technology allows the district to run the phone network on the same network as all its computers and devices, and they’ve been able to eliminate the older, analog, wire network the old system operated on, Heier said. The final component of the phone update was to install battery backup units into all of the district’s data closets to allow a minimum of 15 minute up-time to all phones. Heier said this safety measure ensures that all district phones will be operational in a power outage for at least 15 minutes. Providing mobile devices to teachers and students is one of the major projects in the works. The district is in the process of moving teachers from desktop computers to laptops, a move which will allow them to work more collaboratively, as teachers will no longer be “anchored to their desks,� Heier said. All teachers will also receive an iPad by the end of the roll-out so they can have the exact same technology as their students and better prepare themselves to incorporate the technology in the classroom. District 196 is in the second year of its one-toone initiative. By 2019, every student in grades four through 12 will have a district-provided iPad. In the 2016-17 school year, students in grades seven through nine received devices. This academic year, students in grades 10 through 12 got them, and in the 2018-19 school year students in grades four through six will receive them. The district has also purchased Chromebook carts so that students in every building will have access to laptops if they need them, Heier said. The district is also

equipping classrooms with more interactive technologies, such as video and audio devices. Heier said because technology ages quickly, the district has set aside funds to update the equipment as necessary. A portion of the levy referendum has been allocated to technical support staffing. To take full advantage of all the technology initiatives, the district has hired specialists to support students and teachers at the building level, Heier said. These staff members teach new ways of using technology and provide assistance when necessary. District 196 Teaching and Learning Specialist Jenny Huling followed Heier’s presentation with an update on the success of technology implementation in the classroom. Although elementary students won’t be receiving their devices until next year, technology is already a part of many young students’ daily education, she said. Two years prior to the first implementation, the district began using oneto-one teaching strategies in elementary beta classrooms. In preparation for the 2018 implementation, these beta classrooms continued capacity building this school year and the year before. Currently, every elementary school has at least one beta classroom. Teachers have been attending district-led sessions about using technology in the classroom, she said, and they have access to resources and staff members to help them with any technological hiccups during the school day. The district has been checking in with one-toone users. Staff complete a reflection survey twice each year, parents complete an annual mid-year survey and students complete a survey at the end of every school year. Huling reported that nearly 80 percent of parents said they are satisfied with their child being in a one-to-one learning environment.

“I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life.� That phrase may be relatable, but local artist Tracy Giza wants to help change that train of thought. For the past two years, Northfield-based Giza has taught adult painting workshops in cities like Farmington, Rosemount and Eagan. Originally, she taught after-school classes for kids, but was inspired to teach adults after hearing the same comments over and over. “So many times parents would say, ‘Well, I can’t draw a stick figure,’ and they always made com-

ments when they would come pick up their kids ‌ and even friends of mine and people I know (would say that). So I decided to create these painting workshops for adults, and it’s just really been taking off,â€? Giza said. Giza started painting about 17 years ago when she bought her first house. To save some extra money, she learned how to decorate her new home. “It was a really old house and I kind of learned on my own how to create cool walls and different effects on furniture, just trying to save money. ‌ And friends and people I would know would start to kind of hire me out,â€? Giza said. Giza began doing home staging and some custom painting for clients. Though she taught afterschool classes on the side, the primary focus of her

painting was decorating clients’ homes. “It was mostly furniture and walls for such a long time — a lot of interior design work,â€? Giza said. Giza’s artistic skills are mostly self-taught. She enjoyed drawing when she was younger, but didn’t have a formal education in art before she got involved in painting. “I think (because) I’ve just kind of been an overall crafty person that I sink my teeth into that kind of thing. ‌ Really everything’s been selftaught. All of my tips and techniques and trials and errors are all done from blood and sweat,â€? Giza said. On the fourth Thursday of every month, Giza hosts a Canvas and Coffee event at BlueNose Coffee in Farmington. She also hosts similar events at

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The 2018 Minnesota Legislative session is underway, with an assortment of political legal battles, bonding proposals and special requests on the agenda. On top that, the 2018 election will overshadow everything. With all House members up for re-election and all of the state’s constitutional officers on the ballot, I fear we will have a lot of infighting and mudslinging. Have you heard this old adage: “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session!” That quote is attributed to Gideon John Tucker, an American lawyer, and dates from 1866. Funny, not much has changed. I sincerely hope that one topic that will not be bantered about by self-serving rhetoric will be response and action to the state’s opioid crisis. The statistics are almost unbelievable. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were more than 63,600 drug overdose deaths in 2016. That’s three times the rate from 1999. “Drug overdose is the leading cause of

And the National Center for Health Statistics says drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, who has been very visible nationally speaking about the crisis, was at the White House last week along with a contingent of sheriffs from across the country. Hennepin County had 162 opioid-related deaths in 2017, he said, up 47 percent since 2015. In Minnesota, 395 opioid deaths were reported in 2016. I haven’t seen a 2017 total for the state, but no doubt that number continues to rise. That’s a staggering batch of numbers, isn’t it? Almost hard to believe. Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed $12 million in a legislative spending pack-

age he wants addressed this session. It includes extra funds for the state’s tribal nations, which have been hit especially hard by the opioid crisis. He also wants additional funding for naloxone for first responders. That antidote to an overdose has saved many lives across the state. I’ve also been reading about the stress on county and state social service agencies. The crisis has hurt children very hard, and the demand for foster care families has gone up dramatically. Parental substance abuse was the main reason for 27 percent of the children placed last year, according to the state’s Department of Human Resources. The number of children being exposed to drugs before birth has gone up 113 percent since 2012. Finding proper care for these children is also a key challenge. “Substance abuse has reached a crisis in Minnesota. To protect and safely care for children, we must act quickly to help parents work through their struggles and overcome their addictions,” said Human Services Commissioner Emily Piper in a statement at the end of 2017. In addition, the number of reports of child maltreatment was higher among

American Indian children – 5.2 times more than white children – and AfricanAmerican children were approximately three times more likely to be subject of a maltreatment report. Drug abuse and addiction by parents oftentimes creates children who need foster care. I can only urge our state’s leaders to absorb these shocking numbers and use them to look ahead. What must be done to stop this crisis? What must be done to help those who have succumbed to addiction and return them to society? This is one issue that shouldn’t be subject to “politics as usual.” It will take a totally combined effort, by government, law enforcement at all levels, the medical professional community and every one of us to get through this. Additional funding and support from the state seems essential. I hope this will be the one issue that will get universal support, commitment and resolve from all.

Letters Raise the legal limit for cigarettes To the editor: I am a volunteer with the American Heart Association and a citizen of Apple Valley. Two members of the American Heart Association and I recently met with Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and Charles Grawe, assistant city administrator, to discuss the possibility of raising the minimum sale age for tobacco to 21 from 18. Tobacco use continues to be a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death in the U.S. Although great strides have been made, nearly 25 percent of high school students still report using tobacco products, either cigarettes or e-cigarettes. Raising the minimum legal sale age for purchase of these products is one way we might delay experimentation or initiation of tobacco use by youth and young adults during this critical period of growth and development. A 2013 study by A.F. Buchmann on early smoking onset published in “Addiction Biology” found that nicotine dependence and smoking intensity are strongly correlated with younger ages of smoking initiation. In other words, the younger people are when they smoke their first cigarette (or e-cigarette) the more likely they will be a smoker for life. Another study by S.J. Curry published in the Annual Review of Psychology in 2009 found that adolescent smokers may experience more difficulty in quitting compared with the adult smokers. Cities such as Apple Valley typically license and regulate tobacco products, which was the purpose of our discussion. Across the

state, the American Heart Association is holding similar meetings asking that cities such as Apple Valley, Lakeville, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington are at least considering increasing the legal age to purchase tobacco products as Bloomington and St. Louis Park already have. This request is not about denying an adult access to Tobacco products. Instead it is about finding ways to possibly delay that first taste that can result in a life-long addiction. Please consider joining me in urging your city council to raise the legal limit to 21 for tobacco and e-cigarette products. JANA L. JOHNSON Apple Valley

commenced. As to undemocratic leaders being encouraged, I seem to remember something regarding Cuba, and the past administration. And then there is the debacle regarding Libya. And Syria. The unintended consequences of EPA regulations has placed great financial burdens on citizens, without any verifiable health, or safety, improvements. Our representatives have no control over these bureaucrats! Rightly using his authority, President Trump is finally exercising leadership over agencies within the executive branch. Air and water quality are not in danger. Most of the vitriol has subsided, and yet the continued use of divisive identity politics, and clichés, does nothing to restore any modicum of harmony to our free society. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is holding up a strong defense in favor of fiscal responsibility (voted against the increases in the proposed budget), and knows the issue surrounding continued growth of the federal government. Lewis acknowledges that regaining constitutional control of the federal government will be a difficult and lengthy process, but we must start. Minnesota must regain the rightful authority to attend to the needs of Minnesota residents. We have a responsibility to regulate our federal government. If we do not, it will continue to dominate our lives, control our products, and production, while further restricting our freedoms and inalienable rights. No, the sky is not falling.

To the editor: Sandra Sandoval’s previous rant depicted the sky falling. It is not. Hillary Clinton did lose, but the citizens of the United States chose Donald Trump. While I don’t agree with him on all issues, he is determined that America, as a sovereign republic, must be allowed to stand. We should all agree on that. To this end, he has reduced the regulatory burden on many businesses, industries, and communities. His desire to reduce the burdens of the unconstitutional health insurance legislation of the previous administration, while inappropriate in Sandoval’s eyes, is necessary for the economic stability of our nation. The “A” in ACA was supposed to be mean “Affordable,” which it is not. MNSure is also a significant disaster. The federal government ripped JIM McKIE control from the sovereign West St Paul states, and the train wreck

A welcome relief for retirees

common-sense law was scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 18, 2017. The rule would have enabled the Social Security Administration to share information about its recipients of Disability Insurance benefits due to mental illness. In effect, if you can prove you have autism, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive, bipolar and related disorders, or similar mental illnesses, you can receive disability benefits. The rule would have enabled the SSA to share the names of those recipients with the attorney general, who presumably would have entered them into the background check database. If and when the mentally ill SSA recipient tried to buy a gun, he or she would have been flagged. Maybe I’m missing something: Does restricting the sale of guns to the mentally ill diminish the Second Amendment? More importantly, why did Lewis and his mostly Republican colleagues vote to rescind that commonsense rule? I won’t suggest the NRA’s $3,500 contribution to Lewis’ campaign paid for the vote, particularly when several senators who also voted for the bill received millions of NRA dollars, and the NRA reportedly spent $21 million on our own President Trump’s election bid. Trump, of course, signed the bill rescinding the common-sense law. I would ask Lewis to reconsider his vote. In fact, it would be great if Lewis authored a bill re-instating this common-sense rule. He might have some explaining to do to his NRA benefactors, but it would be an excellent first step in beginning a sensible conversation about regulating access to guns in America.

To the editor: The recently passed legislation, the Tax Cuts and Job’s Act is sure a welcome relief to my pocketbook. I am a retiree and every dollar saved on my tax bill helps me live a better quality of life. I am concerned about the future of the congressional leadership of our district though — U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is doing a fantastic job articulating the issues, passing legislation that benefits all families and working hard to represent us in Washington D.C., but I am hearing about Angie Craig’s expected endorsement from the DFL and her millions of dollars of net worth; her position at St. Jude Medical that gave her access to wealth that most of us will never have. She has stated publicly “that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, may go down as one of the worst pieces of legislation in history,” right in lockstep with California Rep. Nancy Pelosi. How can that be when businesses of all sizes and shapes are giving pay increases to their employees, expanding their benefit plans and are repatriating overseas stored dollars back to the USA for reinvestment in our country? Billions of dollars are a lot of money — and the higher paying jobs that will result will help those American families build a better future for themselves. She describes herself in this way, that she worked at a “manufacturing company” rather than the truth that she was a high-powered executive who worked for a major medical device company. Craig is a rich, liberal, establishment elitist to whom a hundred or two hundred extra dollars in CARY GRIFFITH her paycheck won’t matter Rosemount but, it matters to the voters The 10th in the 2nd District.

Sensible regulations To the editor: Why did U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-2nd District, vote “Yes” to rescind a rule restricting gun sales to the severely mentally ill? In the wake of the Parkland, Florida, shooting I, like many of my fellow citizens, feel sorrow, pain, anger and dismay. How many young lives need to end before we Americans implement common-sense gun laws? Let me be clear; I am not suggesting we repeal the Second Amendment. Implementing and passing common-sense gun laws does not threaten the Second Amendment. A good example of a

Amendment and the thorny drug issue

States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” When in the Prohibition era we decided on a nationwide (federal) ban on alcohol, we did it the correct way, by modifying the Constitution with the 18th Amendment. When the policy was demonstrated to be unworkable, that amendment was repealed with the 21st Amendment again in conformity with the Constitution’s provisions. The current federal law which bans drugs such as marijuana was not enacted in this way and is, therefore (to my mind, at least), unconstitutional. So we find ourselves in a situation of selective enforcement: the current attorney general chooses to enforce the law; President Obama’s administration chose not to enforce the very same federal controlled substances law. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is honest about the difficulty of crafting drug policy that is consistent with the Constitution. He’s right to recognize that both Constitutional and States Rights must be considered as we develop policy. Yes, drugs are bad, when abused and misused. So are guns when they are misused and abused. So is speech when it’s misused and abused. But it’s not the drugs, the guns, or the speech that creates the trouble — it’s the person abusing them. Keeping our freedoms is difficult. Eventually we could lose all of them if we’re not careful. I am grateful for Lewis’s understanding of the 10th Amendment and his thoughtful approach which reflects knowledge of and commitment to Constitutional principles as they apply to all the thorny issues of our day. JEFF SCHUETTE Eagan

Preserving Medicare Advantage To the editor: Minnesota’s seniors have reason to thank our U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis. He took a stand for Medicare Advantage to ensure the Medicare agency doesn’t make changes that would adversely affect the 19 million seniors who rely on it. This issue is very important to me. Medicare Advantage keeps health care affordable, and it gives me the benefits I need to stay healthy. Investing in Medicare Advantage makes sense. With the continued support of Lewis, seniors can rest assured we’ll have this coverage far into the future. That’s a good thing for us, our families, and the federal budget.

To the editor: When it comes to making policy regarding the legalization of marijuana and drugs, conservatives and liberals alike struggle to be consistent with the Constitution. If we legalize marijuana at the federal level, citizens who object can’t find a haven in a state with a drug policy they support. That same dilemma faces our citizens in lots of areas, not just controlled substances. That’s why the 10th Amendment, which many of the founders demanded in order to ratify the whole Constitution, says: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the BARB LINERT Eagan

Education District 196 legislative priorities Stable funding for E-12 education remains the top priority for District 196 in the 2018 session of the Minnesota Legislature that begins Feb. 20. The School Board unanimously approved the district’s 2018 legislative priorities Feb. 12. The priorities were developed by citizen and staff members of the district’s Legislative Advisory Council, with input from members of the Budget Advisory Council. Members of the LAC, BAC and School Board will share the district’s priorities with local legislators who represent residents of District 196 and with the chairs of the education committees in the Senate and House of Representatives. The district’s priorities document thanks the Legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton for providing needed investment in E-12 education during the 2017 budget-setting session. Funding approved through fiscal year 2019 make it five years in a row of 2 percent increases to the general education formula, the largest single source of revenue Minnesota school districts receive. “These consistent, at least inflationary increases are necessary to avoid the detrimental staffing and program cuts that resulted from state funding increases that averaged less than 1 percent per year in the first half of this decade,� the document reads. Although 2018 is not a budget-setting session, the district believes state leaders should continue discussion toward establishing stable funding solutions that support a “general and uniform system of public schools,� as required of the Legis-

lature in Article 13, Section 1 of the Minnesota Constitution. The following five priorities focus on that goal. 1. Index the general education formula to inflation • From 2003 to 2018, the gap between actual increases to the general education formula and the inflation-adjusted amount is $579 per pupil. If general education funding had just kept pace with inflation during these years, school districts could have avoided many of the detrimental budget cuts and local levy referendums that were needed to make up the difference. The district asks the Legislature to fully fund this gap and to index future general education formula increases to the annual rate of inflation. 2. Increase special education funding • The lack of adequate special education funding from the state and federal governments continues to be an issue for all Minnesota school districts. The difference between the special education funding District 196 will receive this year and the actual cost of providing these services – also known as the “special education cross-subsidyâ€? – is $27 million this year. Statewide, the special education cross-subsidy will top $700 million this year. 3. Increase equalization aid to equalize the local tax burden • Equalization aid is intended to equalize the impact of school taxes for homeowners in districts with differing levels of commercial/industrial property wealth. Districts with less commercial/industrial property wealth, like District 196, receive equalization aid. However, the factors used to calculate equalization aid have not kept pace with growth in overall property values over time and,

as a result, no longer provide the intended level of equalization or taxpayer fairness. For example, District 196 has a current operating levy of $1,140 per pupil that was approved by district voters in 2013. Taxes to support this levy for the owner of a $250,000 home in District 196 are $290 more per year than the owner of a $250,000 home in a west metro district with high commercial/industrial property wealth. 4. Allow local control to renew existing operating levies • Current Minnesota law limits operating levies to no more than 10 years in length. After 10 years, in order to continue to receive the same amount of funding that was previously approved by voters, school districts are required to conduct another referendum election, even though it would not result in a tax increase. There have been 182 levy renewal referendums in Minnesota since 2011 and 180 of them – 99 percent – have been approved. Given the cost and time required to conduct a referendum election and the high percentage of approvals for levy renewals, the district asks the Legislature to give locally elected School Board members authority to renew levies that were previously approved by local voters and do not represent a tax increase. 5. Stabilize the Teachers Retirement Association Fund • The Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association Fund had an unfunded liability of $9 billion in fiscal year 2017 and District 196’s share of this liability is $279 million. The district asks the Legislature to stabilize the fund by adjusting benefits, increasing the employee and employer contributions, and funding the increase in the employer contribution.

YOUTH, from 1A to say, but Smith found all of them were interested in meeting with other young people to have a conversation. “It’s the conversation piece that I want to push,� he said. “It’s not going to be any kind of vigil. It will be a conversation with youth — a conversation across denomination, across racial lines.� Final plans for the interdenominational youth summit are still in the works. Smith has already connected with three other churches, and he’s hoping to get at least two more involved. He said that the Second Amendment will be part of the discussion, but they will also talk about other factors that influence gun violence. “No one can say what’s going to make the difference,� Smith said. “But our young people are very clear.

They are sick of dying, and sick of being targets.� Beyond Smith’s efforts, youths are organizing themselves around the nation. Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators and allies to walk out of school on March 14 at 10 a.m. They will stand outside for 17 minutes to “protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods,� the organization’s website said. Survivors from the shooting are also organizing a march in Washington, D.C., on March 24, titled “March for Our Lives.� Plans are still in the beginning stages, but similar to the January 2017 Women’s March and April 2017 March for Science, satellite marches are already pop-

ping up around the country. Smith said the youth summit he is planning is not in connection with any of the marches or protests. As a young person in the ’60s and ’70s, he participated in protests when he lived in Chicago, and later as a student at Carleton College in Northfield. He knows how these gatherings can change unexpectedly, and that is why he wants to create a safe space for youth. “They weren’t listening to young people then,� Smith said. “But now, these young people speaking out across the country, with how articulate they are, they are completely changing the way we talk about this.� Smith plans to meet with youth from the local churches before opening the event up to the public.

In wake of Florida shooting, schools update families on safety measures

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District reacted to the Feb. 14 Parkland, Florida, shooting by providing the administration of each of its schools with a letter that could be sent to parents. “Although the incidence of these tragedies is increasing, schools continue to be among the safest places in our communities,� the letter said. “While no school is immune from such a situation, rest assured that the safety of students, staff and visitors is a top priority at all District 196 schools and is under constant review.� It assured parents and guardians its emergency response plans were created in close cooperation with local police and that all district staff have been trained to respond to an DOG, from 1A well, but is just getting started. He told a story about Koda’s first week with Drogseth. The pair was out for a run when Drogseth slipped and let go of the leash. Rather than running away, as Drogseth expected, Koda noticed the officer had fallen, circled back, and began licking Drogseth’s face. “We are pretty certain the dog is going to be social, and that there is a connection there,� Francis said at the City Council meeting. Drogseth has already brought Koda to St. Paul for a few half-days of training. This light schedule will ease Koda into the rigorous training program ahead. Beginning March 5, the team will dedicate their entire schedule — 40 hours a week — to training. Patrol Sgt. Peter Matos, who oversees the K-9 unit, cautioned that Koda still has a long way to go before the K-9 will be ready to work. Koda must successfully complete all of the required training, stay healthy and prove to be a good match with Drogseth. Injury, incompatibility or inability to meet all training requirements could conclude or postpone Koda’s work with the AVPD. “Koda is a high drive dog — really muscular and lean,� Matos said. “Each dog has its own personality. Koda’s sociable. He’s just like a kid, always get-

intruder in the building. It also said students and staff participate in drills throughout the year that teach them how to respond, and outlined ways the district has improved school security, thanks to the 2015 bond referendum. “Entrances at elementary and middle schools are being modified to direct visitors into the office area, where they must provide identification and sign in before gaining access to the building during school hours,� the district said. “At high schools, vestibules are locked during school hours and visitors must provide identification and sign in before entering the building. All schools are also receiving additional cameras, an upgraded system for controlling exterior doors and an emergency response

button in the office that can prompt an immediate response from law enforcement.� The district encourages students to report potential dangers. “In addition to drills and security improvements to our building, we also talk with our students regularly about the importance of telling an adult at school if they hear something from another student that could endanger that student or others in the building,� the district said. “Please reinforce this message with your child and reassure them that we care deeply about them and that their school is a safe and respectful place for them to learn each day.�

ting into something new.� He said Koda will be cross-trained to be useful for several of the department’s needs. Patrolling, tracking, narcotics, crowd control and community outreach will be Koda’s main tasks. The K-9 will ride along with Drogseth in a squad car designed just for the pair. To save some money, the police department is outfitting one of its existing squad cars. Technology in the car will open the doors automatically, regulate the temperature and provide a safe space for Koda to ride along with Drogseth. Having two police dogs will allow the AVPD to have almost constant coverage; Matos said the K-9 pairs will be scheduled to work different shifts. “Dogs can provide a legal piece,� Drogseth said. “They provide a different tool that a human can’t do.� Matos said police dogs, operating under strict policies and procedures, can use their strong sense of smell to detect narcotics or locate people. They can also run faster than a human officer, allowing them to be a powerful tool for pursuit. “I expect Koda will be a hard worker, as will his handler,� Matos said. “We are looking forward to having that team to fill in the gaps of our patrol. I think the two teams are going to really be a welcome addition to the police department, and to the community as well.�

At the City Council meeting, Francis said there will be some holidays and long weekends where Drogseth and Koda won’t have training and they’ll be able to spend time in the police department. “At those times, we are really looking forward to having Koda with us,� Francis said. “Everything so far has been really positive with his relationships with the handler, socialization around the police department, with other officers — so far it looks like it’s going to be a really good team.� Francis said he is excited to expand from one team to a full unit. “We appreciate the authorization to add this. We’re really looking forward to having a true K-9 unit and not just one team,� Francis said. “I think we are in a really good position to have Officer Broughten and Duke be really good mentors to Officer Drogseth and Koda and have a really strong team for a number of years.� At the City Council meeting, Francis said that if training goes smoothly, the community won’t have to wait much longer to see the new K-9. “You’ll see (Koda and Drogseth) in our community — at night, during the day, at music in the park this summer,� Francis said. “The community is going to meet Koda in the near future.�

RECYCLE, from 1A there are opportunites to recycle more. She said 60 percent of what goes into the garbage is recyclable. In addition to paper, she said a way to boost recycling rates is to increase the rate of organics collection. She said 15 percent of what’s in the garbage is organic material, such as food and food-soiled products like napkins. Kedward said a common misconception about food waste is that it’s fine in the garbage because it decomposes. The problem is that when food decomposes in a landfill, it puts out high levels of methane, which is more potent than carbon dioxide. “Composting is definitely a better option,� she said. She said the county hopes to have curbside organics collection by 2025. Another strategy of the plan is to work with large waste generators like manufacturing businesses or those with many employees, like schools. She said the county is helping these companies analyze where they can reduce garbage amounts. Kedward said the analysis helps the business save money on solid waste fees and taxes and can boost its revenues since many recyclable materials are treated as commodities. She said many large DANCE, from 1A direction than most as it used instrumental music with voiceovers inspired by a blog written after the mass shooting outside a Las Vegas hotel during a country rock music concert. Raiche said the piece, for which choreography started not long after the shooting in October 2017, struck emotional responses from audiences. “The focus of the routine was to push the choreography in terms of

companies are already getting paid for collecting recyclable materials, but it’s the mid-size companies that can need some help in finding the opportunities. As for residents, Kedward said the marketing push will attempt to get residents back to recycling basics. Paper, cardboard, glass and aluminum cans are the basics they’d like to see less of in the landfills. She said it is difficult to change the minds of the small percentage of people who come up with excuses to not recycle, so marketing efforts concentrate on getting people who are already recycling to do it more.

cheapest option. As far as gift giving, waste reduction organizations promote giving “experience� gifts like trips or recreation opportunities rather than another “toy� for children or adults.

In addition to preventing little things like cans, bottles and pieces of paper from going to the garbage can, recycling efforts aim to keep the big items out of it too. When a piece of equipment or a household item has outlived its useful life, it often lands in the garbage. The Recycling Zone and several solid waste management companies accept all kinds of recyclables and products, such as metal curtain rods, dryers, ceiling fans. There are also cleanup days that are slated annually in every Dakota County community. These days are popular for turning in computers,

television sets, construction debris and the like. Another movement started when the Great Recession occurred, as many groups interested in reducing waste and consumption communicated that repairing a product one already owned or borrowing a product from a friend, neighbor or family member was better for the environment. As people had less money to spend on products like lawnmowers, clothes and vacuums, fixit clinics such as the one Dakota County organizes started throughout the country. “There is a whole chapter in solid waste management on waste reduction,� Kedward said. “If we want to conserve resources, we have to buy differently.� In 2017, Dakota County hosted 12 Fix-It Clinics. Forty-three volunteers helped more than 300 residents mend and restore items. Their repairs stopped 2,650 pounds of repairable items from ending up in the trash. Of the nearly 600 items brought in to fix, 82 percent were repaired on site or the resident was shown how to fix it later with the right parts. “It’s a great way to build skills and community,� Kedward said. She said people are more aware to buy durable goods that will last a long time rather than the

movement quality while maintaining strong technique and difficult skills,� Raiche said. “The message of the words was one important to me in that beyond teaching dance skills, it is my responsibility to help these young adults make a positive impact on our world.� Eastview advanced to state by earning top scores in the section and qualifying round during the two-day state meet. While the team has been practicing each weekday during the sea-

son for about two and a half hours each night, preparations for some competitions was complicated due to their participation in the Super Bowl halftime show, which was staged at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Some of their practice time was devoted to secret preparations for the Super Bowl and led to additional practice time to be ready for sections. Raiche traces the desire for the team members to work hard and keep performing at a high level

Consume less

One push that Kedward said is controversial is to have more communities become like the cities of Minneapolis, Farmington and Hastings that have a single hauler contracted to collect garbage, recycling and yard waste. The city of Farmington’s history of municipal collection of solid waste was officially established in 1947. Since then, the city has advanced its program to offer curbside solid waste and recycling collection. Kedward said the program can benefit residents since a city can negotiate cheaper rates. Air and noise pollution is reduced as there are fewer trucks needed to collect from each residence. With the goal to have curbside organics waste collection by 2025 in Dakota County, the push for single haulers serving one community will increase. Currently, there are three different trucks that collect solid waste, recycling and yard waste in most Dakota County cities. With as many as six different haulers working in the county, that means several trucks can be entering a neighborhood

each week. Kedward said she is aware of several neighborhoods in the county that have organized to have just one hauler serve their area. Those neighborhoods with homeowners associations are the most likely to band together, but it’s happening too in neighborhoods where there is no formal organization. She said the Dakota County market is large enough to accommodate the current list of haulers in the county to devise a way that each of those haulers could still have their current market share without the overhead of overlapping collection routes. The plan would create commercial franchise zones in which each of the haulers would operate through a joint-powers agreement. Such cities as Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City are looking into the idea. Changes in the Zone At the start of 2018, the Recycling Zone in Eagan stopped accepting plastic bags and foam packing peanuts from Dakota County businesses and residents. The county stopped accepting plastic bags since its vendor is no longer recycling them and because there were many other local options for recycling the bags. Most grocery stores and major retailers have bins outside or inside

their stores that allow for recycling bags. “We were not filling the gap anymore,� Kedward said. The Recycling Zone also isn’t taking “packing peanuts� anymore. Kedward said the amount of the foam material that was coming into the Zone was dwindling since the vendor was no longer accepting the material. Packing peanuts are accepted at a wide range of shipping stores throughout Dakota County like UPS. While on the topic of plastic bags, Kedward said one important thing to remember about the bags is don’t put them in the single-sort bins that companies provide for curbside recycling. “That’s the No. 1 contamination in recycling,� Kedward said. They clog up the sorting machines. Some recyclers report that some people put their singlesort recycling inside plastic bags. They should be using paper bags instead. People can search a whole range of items to find out how to properly dispose or recycle it with the Green Guide at https://www.co.dakota. mn.us/Environment/RecyclingDisposalGuide/ Pages/default.aspx.

back to their first practices. “We spend a lot of time at the beginning of the season defining our purpose, setting lofty yet attainable goals and talking about what will make this team work this year,� Raiche said. “Our senior leaders did a fantastic job this season of leading the way with their dedication, kindness and their ability to know when to have fun. We always change our kick routine part way through the season and that really helps (us) stay

motivated.� This year’s seniors are Nina Boguslawski, Tessa Cockerill, Amber Fleck, Taylor Hallum, Carly Huyber, Abby Kisch, Tess Matalamaki and Caitlyn Schmitt. She called their final performances at state the season’s best. Kisch and Hallum were named to the Jazz All Tournament Team. Boguslawski and Matalamaki were named to the High Kick All Tournament Team. Cockerill, Kisch and

Matalamaki earned AllState Academic, as the team garnered All State Academic honors with its 3.67 GPA. In addition to Raiche, the team is coached by Shannen Jilek, Toni Balliet, Shelby Feddema, Grace Gilberston, Tina Range, Taylor Varghese, Mikayla Larson and Jessica Padget.

She said she’s already begun taking medical classes and College in the Schools (CIS) classes focused on her career path. “I already know what I want to do, but I want to meet some people who are in the medical field,� Ahmed said. Beyond this one evening, AVHS provides career exploration opportunities through its E3 STEM program, which focuses on exploration, education and employment. This program not only provides students with in-depth college and career counseling, but also arranges tours of local STEM business and organizations. The program allows students to take classes through Dakota County Technical College and Inver Hills Community College that provide job certifications and college credits. To provide more practical knowledge about STEM careers, AVHS arranges for students to have

mentors and internships with industry partners. Some students at AVHS, however, are not interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Several career fair attendees had other interests. Senior Orobo Gitaa is interested in studying political science, but he came to the career fair because he thought it would be interesting to learn more about STEM careers. The extra credit his teacher offered was also an incentive, but Gitaa said he was glad he came. “It’s good to see what’s out there,� he said. “There’s a whole bunch of things.� Senior Amal Mohamed also wants to study political science. She is determined to become a lawyer, but she came to the STEM fair because she was recruited by a friend. “There weren’t any lawyers here, but I still learned some things about being professional,� she said. Although AVHS is a magnet school focused on

STEM, there are still opportunities for its students to pursue other career opportunities. “AVHS counselors work with all students on career exploration throughout their high school career in a variety of classes,� Bolsoni said. The school offers specific classes in career exploration that help students narrow their interests in their field of choice. One such class, the Mentor Program, invites students to explore career interests and work with a professional mentor. Although students attended the fair for a variety of reasons, each one seemed to find something to take away from it to benefit their career search. Bolsoni declared the event a success. “We had over 250 presenters and over 2,000 people attend this year’s STEM Career Fair,� Bolsoni said. “This was a great success in terms of interest and support in STEM career fields.�

He thanked the community for its contributions in helping these students in this time of vocational discernment. “We appreciate all of our presenters for taking the time to teach our students and their families about the STEM career opportunities in our community,� Bolsoni said. “Everyone had a very positive experience.� All District 196 schools offer some components of STEM education. The district has established magnet schools that create a STEM pathway that begins in kindergarten and extends until senior year of high school. The pathway begins at Cedar Park Elementary STEM School and Echo Park Elementary School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology. It continues into Valley Middle School of STEM and extends through Apple Valley High School. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. com.

New Tax Rules for Homeowners Good records needed for equity interest deductions

BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA

Using proceeds from a loan not collateralized by a primary or second home won’t be deductible, say the experts. Besides taking an equity loan, it is also possible to refinance a first mortgage, get cash back and deduct the interest paid on the new loan, but the homeowner must still document that the extra cash back was used for a value-boosting improvement. Only interest on $750,000 of both mortgage and equity debt is deductible. That’s if you even want to take itemized deductions. The new law boosts the “standard deductionâ€? to $24,000 for married joint filers, and $12,000 for single filers. With the standard deduction, the filer simply reduces his

accrues with a simple interest charge.� For instance, a senior who defers $5,000 annually for six years would owe $30,000 plus all interest charges when he leaves the home. “Often, the balance is paid by the proceeds of the sale of the home,� Walters says. In some of the 24 states, deferral programs are available statewide, while in others each locality must adopt the program.

Hole-in-one, one in a million Rosemount man sinks 120-foot putt to win pontoon boat, $25,000 by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Paul Shadle is the kind of weekend golfer who gets the yips and misses a little 4-foot putt when his pals don’t offer him the “gimme.â€? So when Shadle was the lone finalist among 35 to take a swing at a 120-foot shot at the Venture Bank Minnesota Golf Show’s $100,000 Pontoon Putt on Sunday, Feb. 18, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, one might think he’d be shaking in his shoes. Not so. The 49-year-old Rosemount man reached into the bucket of balls and grabbed one with a Nike logo and the word “mojoâ€? on it. “I knew I was going to need all the mojo I could get,â€? said Shadle, who was holding the loaned putter he had used in the semifinal round. “They were measuring it out. I thought to myself: Who has a 120-foot tape measure?’ “I knew I had nothing to lose,â€? said Shadle, a corporate pilot. “I wanted to hit it hard enough to get it close, let people get excited. I just went up and hit it. I’m an impatient golfer, so I don’t take a lot of time normally. He took one practice swing then sent the ball on its way. “I thought I had hit it too hard. I saw it keep going and going then I didn’t think it would have enough speed to get up the hill. ‌ The crowd kept getting louder and louder, then they erupted. I thought ‘Holy crap it went it.’ It was super loud like at the Masters or something. “The next 30 seconds I don’t remember a thing. All I kept thinking was ‘Wow, really? That just happened.’ It was incredible. Everyone was cheering. There was a lot of good energy.â€? The first person to get a hold him for a hug and kiss was his girlfriend, who had convinced him to pay the $5 to take three shots at the 100-foot qualifier during the show. Actually, she convinced him to take two tries at the First Tee fundraiser qualifier since it took him four attempts to hole the long distance putt, which was also made by 34 out of about 1,000 people during the four-day show. Then there were dozens of handshakes and fist bumps, people kind of didn’t know what to do since no one had ever made the prize-winning putt in the 28-year history of the contest. Soon folks from Nelson Marine and Hubbard Broadcasting, which spon-

Sports Lightning sets sights on playoffs SSC boys hockey title is Eastview’s first ever

26 assists. Beattie is 15-3 in goal with a 2.25 goalsagainst average. Eastview’s last section championship was five years ago when the Lightning defeated Eagan 4-1 in the 3AA final. St. Thomas Academy was assigned to the section the next year when it opted up after winning three consecutive state Class A titles. STA has won Section 3AA two of the last three years, including a 3-1 victory over Eastview in the 2015 championship game.

After winning 17 of their last 18 games and wrapping up their school’s first conference boys hockey championship, Eastview’s players were offered a chance to coast Monday. They didn’t take it. “We had an optional practice, and everybody was there,” coach Drey Bradley said. “We’ve given them a day off here and there to keep them fresh, but I think (Monday’s full attendance) says something about this team. They want to finish this thing.” On Thursday, the Lightning starts the Section 3AA playoffs, seeking its third trip to the state tournament and first since 2013. It won’t be an easy road. Eastview plays host to Bloomington Jefferson in a quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. Thursday. It’s the third year in a row the Lightning and Jaguars have played in the first round of the section playoffs; Jefferson won the last two years. The teams played a non-conference game in November, with Eastview winning 5-4 in overtime. If the Lightning advances past the first round, it gets Rosemount or Apple Valley at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights. Rosemount finished second in the South Suburban Conference, one point behind Eastview. Should the Lightning reach the section final, fourth-ranked St. Thomas Academy could be

The defending section champion Cadets defeated Eastview 5-1 in a early season non-conference game. “It’s a competitive section,” Bradley said. “St. Thomas, us and Rosemount are the top three seeds, and we’ve all had good seasons. Burnsville and Eagan play in the first round, and that will be a good game. Our game with Jefferson is a No. 2 seed versus a No. 7 seed, but that doesn’t mean much. We know Jefferson has a strong program.” Eastview (21-4 overall, 15-3 SSC) took the conference lead Feb. 13 when the Lightning defeated Apple Valley 3-0 while Rosemount and Lakeville North tied 2-2. A 5-1 victory at Prior Lake on Saturday clinched the title. “Those games were more of a playoff-type atmosphere for us, but it’s not quite the same,” Bradley said. “Playoff hockey is a different animal.

Eastview’s girls basketball team won the South Suburban Conference championship with one week left in the regular season, clinching the title with a 45-18 victory over Shakopee last Friday. The Lightning improved to 25-0 overall (17-0 in the conference) with a 73-36 victory over Eagan on Tuesday and will close the regular season at Burnsville at 7 p.m. Friday. Wayzata’s loss to Hopkins last Friday leaves Eastview as the only undefeated team in Class 4A and one of three undefeated teams in Minnesota across all classes. Eastview took a 29-7 first-half lead against Shakopee. Senior forward Megan Walstad led the Lightning with 11 points. Emma Carpenter had 19 points, Macy Guebert 13 and Walstad 12 in Eastview’s 74-42 victory over Burnsville on Feb. 15, a game that had been pushed back from late January because of a snowstorm.

In its last four games, it had two shutouts and held the other two opponents to one goal. Goalie Ben Beattie stopped 19 shots and Zach Anderson scored twice in the victory over Apple Valley. Eastview broke a 1-1 tie against Prior Lake with four goals in the second period, two by senior forward Nate Bordson, who also scored in the first period. Anderson had a goal and three assists, and Ryan Quaintance had a goal and two assists. Bordson is Eastview’s leading scorer with 23 goals and 24 assists for 47 points in 22 games.

Eagan’s Palmquist is Alpine runner-up Eastview girls 12th in state Nordic meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville South’s boys team and Eagan ninthgrader Camden Palmquist took aim at state Alpine skiing championships Feb. 14, with each coming up just short. The Cougars were second in the team competition at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, finishing 10 points behind state champion Minnetonka. Palmquist was second to Hermantown’s Austin Danelski in the individual standings. Palmquist’s time of 1:11.89 over two runs was about one second behind Danelski but approximately two seconds ahead of the third-place finisher, Sam Shiedman of Breck. Lakeville North, the 2017 state girls team runner-up, finished fifth this year. Stillwater won the championship by one point over Mankato West. Minnetonka placed three skiers in the top nine among those in the team competition. Lakeville South, which finished second to Edina at the Section 6 meet, had two skiers in the top 10 and five in the top 19. Edina finished third at the state meet, 11 points behind Lakeville South.

It’s the third Olympic medal for the Buck Hill-trained skier, who won a gold in downhill and a bronze in Super-G at the 2010 Olympics. At 33, she is the oldest woman to win an Olympic Alpine medal. Vonn was scheduled to ski in the combined competition Wednesday night, after this edition went to press.

Two long streaks end for Eagle wrestling Apple Valley, Eagan lose close matches in section finals by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan came up just short of its first appearance in the state wrestling team tournament in school history, and Apple Valley was kept out of the tourney for the first time in what seems like forever. The result from last week’s section team competition that sent shock waves through the Minnesota wrestling community was Shakopee’s 34-30 victory over Apple Valley in the Class 3A, Section 2 championship match last Friday at Lakeville North High School. The Sabers’ victory wasn’t necessarily an upset – Shakopee was first in the final state Class 3A rankings and won a regular-season match against second-ranked Apple Valley – but the Eagles’ absence from the state team tourney will take some getting used to. Apple Valley had qualified for the state team tournament every season since 1983, a streak of 35 consecutive years. The Eagles have been to state 36 times overall. Also ending was Apple Valley’s streak of 12 consecutive Class 3A championships, which started in 2006. The team’s total of state championships stands at 25. Much as they did in the teams’ regular-season match – a 32-30 Shakopee victory Jan. 25 – the Sabers got to a point where Gable Steveson couldn’t affect the outcome. Steveson, Apple Valley’s undefeated heavyweight and a three-time state champion, scored a quick fall in his match, but Shakopee had a 10-point lead going into the final weight and had already clinched the section championship. Shakopee, trailing 2422 with three matches remaining, got falls at 195 pounds and 220 to take an insurmountable lead. Shakopee won eight matches to Apple Valley’s six and had bonus points in five of its victories. Four Apple Valley wrestlers pinned their opponents and two others won by decision. Winning by fall for Apple Valley were Adam Mickelson at 120, Sebas Swiggum at 132, Brady Gross at 138 and Steveson at heavyweight. Swiggum and Steveson pinned their

opponents in the first period and Mickelson and Gross ended their matches in the second. Nate Larson earned a 9-2 decision at 160, with Devin Roberts winning 6-2 at 182. Apple Valley reached the championship match by defeating Lakeville South 59-18 in the quarterfinals and Prior Lake 39-25 in the semifinals. Lakeville North defeated Burnsville 42-33 in a first-round match, then lost to Shakopee 56-14 in the quarterfinals. New Prague defeated Eastview 60-13 in the quarterfinals, and Rosemount fell to Prior Lake 66-9 in its quarterfinal match. Shakopee is in the state team tournament for the fourth time overall and the first time under Jim Jackson, who became head coach in 2016. Jackson was Apple Valley’s head coach from 1995 until 2012 and led the Eagles to 14 state championships. In Class 3A, Section 3, Hastings also came from behind to trip up Eagan in the championship match. The Raiders won four of the last five weights, including the deciding match at 285, to win the dual 28-25. Following a 5-1 victory by Drew Allred at 160, Eagan had its biggest lead at 22-9. Hastings earned a 10-9 decision at 170 and won by technical fall at 182 and 195. Eagan regained the lead with Antwann McClenty’s overtime victory at 220, but Hastings heavyweight Luke Chamberlain won by fall in the third period to give his team the section championship. Eagan’s Jack JohnsonMacpherson won by decision at 113. Kaden Gage won a major decision at 126 and Ty Gage won by fall at 132. Michael Murphy and Andrew Wick won by decision at 138 and 145, with Wick’s victory coming in overtime. Eagan defeated Woodbury 54-12 and Park of Cottage Grove 52-12 in the first two rounds of the Section 3 team tournament at Cretin-Derham Hall High School. Section individual tournaments will be this weekend. Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eastview, Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Rosemount go to the Class 3A, Section 2 tourney at Shakopee on Friday and Saturday. Eagan will be at the Section 3 tourney at East Ridge High School.

Three generations from one family were among those enjoying the recent Valentine Cabaret at Spirit of Life Presbyterian Church in Apple Valley. They were Sarah Stoneking of Farmington and Sara and Joshua Gracek of Apple Valley. In all, approximately 100 church members and friends attended the cabaret, which featured a full-course dinner, a silent auction, a local band and various musical acts. The event was a fundraiser for the church Youth Group’s summer mission trip to Mountain Top, Tennessee. Fifteen Youth Group members and four adults from the church, along with groups from other churches across the country, will conduct a weeklong day camp and do work projects on houses in the povertystricken area of Appalachia.

PAINT, from 3A enjoy that, but I’m really trying to get what their experience is as a painter. I know when I’m not speaking clearly on a step. I’ll be able to see their faces and see their hesitation. So as a corporate event planner, I always had to kind of decipher, ‘Is the client get-

ting exactly what they’ve asked for or not?’ And so that does help me in that way,� Giza said. Giza said she hears a lot of comments from her clients that they’ve never been able to draw or paint, but she said painting is a teachable skill. “I know for a fact it’s like riding a bicycle —

you can teach somebody; you don’t have to be born with this talent. And I’ve kind of developed certain little strokes and certain little ways to achieve say, a blade of grass on canvas that people are kind of like, ‘Wow, it looks like grass!’ And so it just kind of evens the playing field. We can all do this,� Giza

said. Sometimes adults don’t tap into their creative side like kids, Giza said, but painting can bring out that creativity. “Adults aren’t creative. We have jobs and lots of work that’s mostly not on the creative side, so this little side to your brain kind of just lays dormant,�

Giza said. But after painting class, Giza said people are shocked at their finished products. She added that she herself has learned that people are capable of more than they think if they just have a little bit of guidance. “I can show you pictures of people that have never painted, and all their paintings of the little house in the snow are beautiful, and it really is kind of surprising,� Giza said. A lot of her students’ success comes down to just listening and going at their own pace. Giza said she never makes anybody go to the second step in the process if they want to stay on the first step for a while. “I always say, ‘Just ignore me as I talk about Step Two, and when you’re ready, let me know and I’ll talk about Step Two with you.’ Because some people will want to kind of linger longer on a particular place for all kinds of reasons. But most of these painting workshops, the instructors — I don’t know how versed they are in art, but you kind of have to stick with them. And that’s not the way that everybody’s going to be able to succeed,� Giza said.

Monthly themes

LED lights will be inserted in the back of the canvas, and the scene will be a wintry front porch with holiday lights and topiaries. In the past, Giza has also had people email her pictures of things they’d like to paint, like their homes or their pets. For another session, all her students painted their favorite city. Giza typically sketches the details for these paintings and then leaves the painting to the students. “I’ll have London, like the skyline of London sketched on the canvas, and then somebody’s painting London, somebody’s painting Rome, somebody’s painting San Diego, that type of thing. So it’s kind of personal,� Giza said. In addition to her classes, Giza hosts paint parties and painting sessions for corporate team-building. She also sells her own artwork on her website. Though some of her students might not believe they’re artistic, there’s often a change of attitude after taking a class, Giza said. “They seem lighter and they just seem happy when they leave. I think that they’re just surprised at the outcomes,� Giza said. Giza’s next event will take place Wednesday, Feb. 28, from 6-8 p.m. at Carbone’s in Rosemount, 14550 S. Robert Trail. The class will be painting a sunset scene with pine trees. The next event in Farmington will be from 9-11 a.m. Thursday, March 22, at BlueNose Coffee, 20700 Chippendale Ave. Additional locations and information about Giza’s work can be found on her website, www.tracygiza.com.

Each month, Giza focuses on a different theme for what people will paint. This month at BlueNose Coffee, students painted a rooster, which Giza said has been popular in the past. In March, they’ll paint a water lily. Right now Giza is finishing up all her themes for 2018. Upcoming months’ themes include a monarch butterfly resting on a zinnia and an ocean scene with a sailboat. For December’s theme, Contact Jody Peters at there will be something a jody.peters@ecm-inc.com. little unique. A string of
