Former Apple Valley day care provider sentenced in baby’s death by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A former Apple Valley day care provider has been sentenced to one day in jail and five years of probation in connection with the death of a baby in her care. Janet M. Kartheiser, 65, was convicted in district court last week of felony child neglect. Charges were brought against Kartheiser following the July 2014 death of 3-1/2-month-old

Lucas Scott Foster. Police and paramedics were dispatched to Kartheiser’s home on July 29, 2014, following a 911 call about an unresponsive infant — Lucas — at the licensed day care service. Lucas regained a pulse after resuscitation efforts and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, but he died two days later on July 31. An autopsy performed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the in-

fant’s cause of death as being accidental as a result of “positional asphyxia.” According to the criminal complaint, on the day of the incident, Kartheiser placed the infant on his side in a crib, swaddled in a blanket, at about 12:15 p.m. Kartheiser reported that several minutes later she saw the infant rolled over onto his stomach inside the crib; thinking he had fallen asleep, she left him unattended until 12:40 p.m. when

k

she checked and found him limp and unresponsive, at which point she attempted resuscitation and called 911. Kartheiser told police she knew the infant should not have been left lying face down in the crib, according to the complaint. Additionally, before officers arrived Kartheiser hid the infant’s swaddle blanket, receiving blanket and quilt behind a garbage can in See SENTENCING, 10A

Washington, D.C., politics has dominated the news cycle in the past month as President Donald Trump entered office with Republican control of the Senate and House. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, says he would be doing things differently than Trump, who has created international reactions to his Jason Lewis executive orders with regard to border security and deportation of illegal immigrants. Lewis, who spoke with the newspaper on Tuesday, hasn’t dove into those topics with the House in the past month as he’s been focused on efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “We have a job to do,” he said during a telephone interview. “I would be derelict in my duty if I didn’t fulfill my promise that I ran on for a better health care plan for the people of Minnesota.” The new 2nd District representative acknowledges there are constituents concerned about the potential repeal of the law that created government-sponsored health care plans in the individual market. A group of about 100 people gathered outside Lewis’ Burnsville office this month, many concerned about repeal of the ACA and Trump’s executive orders along with advocating for a face-to-face town-hall-style meeting with Lewis. Lewis, who says he’s committed to holding a town hall, said there’s been misinformation regarding Republican plans for repeal of the ACA and some people are trying to get a jump-start on the 2018 campaign. He said there is no plan to do away with two popular provisions of the ACA — insurance companies can’t deny coverage to a person with pre-existing health conditions and children continuing on their parents health insurance until age 26. Lewis said four replacement bills have

Feds begin slow landfill process 182 parties potentially liable for cleanup by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After last year’s collapse of a deal to finally clean up the old Freeway Landfill in Burnsville, the federal government has begun the process of trying to collect cleanup costs from landfill customers. Letters to 182 “potentially responsible parties� were sent this month. Under the federal Superfund law, the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking joint payment from among a group that includes trash haulers, other businesses large and small and local governments. The city of Burnsville and Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 are among the parties. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency was hoping to avoid a prolonged Superfund action with a $64.4 million cleanup plan to be funded not by landfill customers, but by the state’s voluntary Closed Landfill Program. After years of inaction followed by renewed negotiations to bring the landfill into the program, landfill trustee Michael McGowan rejected the cleanup plan last July. He said it removed too much prime development acreage from the site, located west of Interstate 35W on the Minnesota River, and threatened continued operation of his Freeway Transfer Station on the property. The MPCA then declared the deal dead and threw the matter to the EPA, which had been pressuring the state and

McGowan to reach a deal on a landfill that has been in McGowan’s family since the mid-1960s and collected trash from 1969 to 1990. The 150-acre landfill site has been on the EPA’s National Priorities List for cleanup since 1986. Negotiations between the state and McGowan continued even after the EPA issued a Dec. 15, 2015, deadline for reaching a deal. Under Superfund, “It will take several years to do the (environmental) investigation, to develop the cleanup alternatives,� said Leslie Patterson, regional project manager in the EPA’s Region 5 Superfund Division. “At which point the EPA will propose and issue a decision regarding a cleanup option.� McGowan, who claims the MPCA treated the family business unfairly for decades, continues to insist the landfill needs no environmental remedy. “There is no factual or empirical information that demonstrates that Freeway Landfill is violating any applicable state of Minnesota groundwater or surface water or methane standards,� McGowan said. The landfill is causing groundwater contamination, which is of particular concern because of its proximity to the river and some city wells, Patterson said. Regulators’ biggest concern is the eventual cessation of dewatering at the Kraemer Mining and Materials quarry south of the landfill. Dewatering will end when mining ends, which city officials say could be 20 years from now. At that point, the water table will rise to the level of

the landfill, leaving some of the waste sitting in groundwater that will be exposed to contaminants such as heavy metals, medical waste, volatile organic compounds and cobalt, according to the MPCA. The pumping creates a “cone of influence that pulls the water toward it,� Patterson said. “The issue would become much more critical if the quarry were to stop pumping.� Until the EPA does its own investigation, Patterson said she doesn’t know the agency’s remedy or its cost. The MPCA had proposed digging up waste in the unlined landfill and moving it to the west side of the property atop a liner to separate contaminants from groundwater. Superfund liabilities are “joint and several,� Patterson said. “That means that unless a potentially responsible party can provide information that specifically documents that they didn’t contribute to the contamination that EPA is trying to clean up, then everybody who is potentially responsible is kind of responsible for all the contamination,� she said. That includes trash haulers who chose the Freeway Landfill as well as their customers who made that choice, she said. The EPA encourages the parties to form a committee to work out their response, Patterson said. “Our role at this point is really to encourage them to start talking with each other,� she said. “We work with the PRPs that come to the table and agree to work with us. But a lot of it is the PRPs forming that committee and working out

how they are going to coordinate amongst themselves.� As long as cleanup costs are covered, “We’re OK with all of them signing up, we’re OK with some of them signing up, we’re OK with one of them signing up,� added Joan Tanaka, remedial response Branch 1 chief in the Region 5 Superfund Division. Often, the parties “figure out a way to compel each other� to pay their share, she said. The agency’s last recourse is to use its authority to recover costs from responsible parties, according to Tanaka. She acknowledged that some parties may no longer be in business or have little ability to pay. Under the agency’s “ability-to-pay policy,� those who demonstrate hardship can resolve their liabilities “pretty cheaply,� Tanaka said.

“They might write us a small check. We’re not in the business to bankrupt people.� McGowan, whose Freeway Transfer is one of the potentially responsible parties, predicted their ranks will “grow exponentially.� “It is most unfortunate that the city, the county and the state have chosen to pursue this path involving numerous municipalities, numerous school districts and many businesses in the metropolitan area,� he said. McGowan disagrees with the post-dewatering water levels predicted by the MPCA, saying that groundwater would need to “run uphill 10 to 12 feet� to reach the garbage in the landfill. He accuses the MPCA of fabricating test results for chemicals such as mercury after it drilled new monitoring wells at the landfill in the summer

of 2015. McGowan also charges that the unlined Burnsville Sanitary Landfill west of I-35W, which is still operating, doesn’t get the same scrutiny as the Freeway Landfill even through it has nearly as large a footprint and has accepted the same kinds of waste. The EPA is also seeking information on the old Freeway “dump site� — McGowan property on the other side of I35W where garbage was also dumped. All told, his late father’s trust controls 230 acres of “potentially prime real estate� straddling the freeway, “and I’m not going to sit idly by and let the state take the land under false pretense,� said McGowan, one of two trustees.

Opinion Listening, lemurs, and Lebanon Hills Regional Park by Joe Atkins SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When my son Tom was in third grade, he brought home a two-question test he had taken at school. On the first question, he wrote the correct answer. On the second question, the test asked “How did you know the answer to Question 1?” Tom wrote, “I knew it because I listened.” While marked as incorrect, the teacher wrote that she really liked Tom’s answer. I spent a lot of time listening this past month, mostly to local folks. I know listening may seem like an odd thing for a politician to do. Most politicians these days seem to prefer talking. However, I find that I learn a lot more if I listen rather than spend all my time talking. From discussions about safety improvements planned for our local roads to cost-effective ways to enhance county services and offerings, I genuinely appreciated the chance to hear the thoughts, concerns and ideas of over 150 local residents this past month. Below are a few highlights. Addition to Lebanon Hills Regional Park being considered. The Jewish Community Center owns Camp Butwin, an 84-acre parcel that lies entirely within Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Discus-

Guest Columnist

Joe Atkins sions are underway between the county and JCC to possibly add this property to the park, rather than seeing it sold for development. Lemurs and Lizards in Lebanon Hills? The new director at the Minnesota Zoo, John Frawley, met with the County Board on Feb. 10 as part of the County Board’s ongoing outreach to Dakota County employers and businesses. We heard about employment at the zoo, its business plan for the future, and its $146 million economic impact. Frawley is looking for more ways to showcase what the Minnesota Zoo has to offer, including working more closely with Dakota County. Among other ideas, he is considering the possibility of bringing zoo animals to Dakota County parks, providing county residents with a free opportunity to see some of the zoo’s most engaging animals. McAndrews Road Improvements. The county is looking at making McAn-

drews Road safer and smoother by expanding the road to three lanes, with center left turn lanes, between Highway 3 and Pilot Knob Road. I attended the open house at Rosemount City Hall and was impressed with the turnout and thoughtful input. Construction is planned for the summer of 2018, but there is still time to weigh in. Contact me, and I will make sure comments reach the right people. Eagan’s Super Bowl of Food Drives. Thank you to the hundreds of people who volunteered, organized or donated at the Open Door Pantry food drive on Super Bowl weekend. I was just one of 200-plus volunteers who collected donations for the Open Door Pantry food shelf at three Cub Foods in Eagan. It was an amazing event, with all the donations going to help local families. Additionally, I find that the grocery store is a great place to hear from folks about local issues or concerns. This is probably why my wife, Julia, usually avoids going to the grocery store with me. The Ghost of Wm. LeDuc. General William LeDuc, who in 1862 built his historic Hastings home, pursued many grand plans. Unfortunately, LeDuc was not very effective at executing these plans and suffered several setbacks. LeDuc’s two daughters, though lesser

known than their father, were actually far more successful, mainly because they efficiently executed a straightforward business plan to sell locally-made products. The key to their success was to listen closely and respond to customer demand while keeping their product prices reasonable and production costs modest. In this spirit, as the County Board engages in planning efforts for the rest of 2017, 2018 and beyond, I invite input on what readers think Dakota County should do, not do, do more, do less, or do better. No topic or issue is too large (or small). I can be reached at Joe.Atkins@co.dakota.mn.us or (651) 438-4430. I also do surveys on specific topics and issues as part of e-updates I send twice each month. To receive these e-updates and surveys, please email me. Interestingly, as I toured the LeDuc house recently, the guide explained that some folks say they have heard the ghost of General LeDuc haunting the halls of the historic home. However, in spite of all my listening this month, it was one of the few times I didn’t hear a thing. Joe Atkins is a Dakota County commissioner serving District 4, which includes Eagan and Rosemount.

What does Betsy DeVos mean for Minnesota schools? by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although it’s too early to know for sure, the confirmation of the new U.S. secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, probably means several things for Minnesota’s students, families and schools. First, the confirmation process reflected and reminded us of the deep disagreements we have about who our leaders should be. U.S. Sen. Al Franken, DFL-Minnesota, issued a press release describing the just-confirmed DeVos as “fundamentally unqualified to lead the Education Department.” (Franken’s statement is at http://bit.ly/2jZSOqB.) Franken’s questioning of DeVos during confirmation hearings showed she appeared to not understand an important issue in testing: whether accountability systems should stress how much growth students in a school are making as measured by standardized tests, or focus on what percentage of students are reaching or exceeding a specific level of knowledge. While it need not be one or the other, this is a basic issue. I agree with Franken: The secretary of education

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan should understand and be able to comment on this. While Franken and many others questioned whether DeVos is qualified, others defended her. Michael J. Petrilli, president of the (conservative) Thomas B. Fordham Institute and research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, wrote that she will be a “great Education Secretary.” (His opinion can be found at http://fxn.ws/2kQlodb.) The confirmation hearing showed a second thing I think we can expect from DeVos: States will have more discretion about how to work with students than they had during the last two administrations, Democratic and Republican. When responding to questions from senators, DeVos said she wanted to rely on states to determine how to work with

students with a disability. She appeared to not understand federal law that mandates certain procedures and policies about how schools must work with these students and their families. This deeply concerns many advocates for these students. But it is part of the overall DeVos’ philosophy of giving more power to states. Third, DeVos’ record over more than 30 years shows she is a strong advocate of various forms of school choice. This includes both public school choice plans and programs that permit tax funds to follow students, paying their tuition at private and parochial schools. I believe many public school choice plans, including district and charter programs, offer valuable opportunities to students, families and educators. Dual-credit programs also are very helpful. However, I disagree with DeVos’ support for laws that allow tax funds to pay tuition and other fees at private and parochial K-12 schools. I don’t think public funds should be used to encourage promotion of a religion or that public funds should flow to a school that uses admissions tests to determine which students

are accepted to the school. One of the strengths of public education has been that we expect publicly funded schools to be open to all. How will DeVos reconcile greater discretion for states with her belief in school choice? I think she’ll recommend an increasing amount of federal funds be available to support and encourage, but not require, school choice adopted by state legislatures and local communities. It’s not clear whether those funds will be reallocated from existing program or represent additions to federal support for education. The more than 1 million phone and email messages that went to Congress about DeVos show that Americans care deeply about education. I hope she will make a priority of tapping into citizens’ deep interest in and commitment to great schools.

Letters Irreversible damage To the editor: The Environmental Protection Agency has been muzzled and, it seems, it will be made toothless by its new head Scott Pruitt. We know where we were before the EPA was created. There’s no reason to believe that corporations will be less destructive now than they were in the 1960s. Ultimately, corporations are measured solely on profit, and when they lose site of that, there’s always another corporation that will undercut them and take away their business. So we must have the EPA. Think of what it would be like to have a professional sports league without referees or umpires. That’s what it will be like without an environmental protection system that enforces rules protecting our health and our great shared environment that

supports all life, now, and for our children’s children. Some kinds of environmental destruction are effectively permanent. For example, PCBs in the sediments of rivers will be there a long time, and they have recently been found in the deepest trenches of the ocean. There’s no Planet B. A few people may profit, but we all pay the price. BILL MIDDLECAMP Apple Valley

Moratorium bill would weaken local control To the editor: I’m in favor of keeping the power of our local cities and townships in Minnesota intact with regard to their current ability to enact an emergency interim ordinance. The Senate File 201 bill authored by Sens. Dan Hall from Burnsville, Bruce Anderson from Buf-

falo, David Osmek from Mound, and Matt Little from Lakeville, weakens the control of local governments and communities. It weakens local democratic power in this regard by weakening city’s and township’s interim ordinance provision. Interim ordinance powers allow a local governing body to put in place a temporary emergency moratorium on any major development that is unanticipated and potentially harmful. S.F. 201 will change the ability of local governments by requiring a super twothirds majority vote to enact an interim ordinance, changing from its current simple majority requirement and thereby weakening the democratic process. In addition, this bill also requires a 10-day public notice of any development and a public hearing before an emergency interim ordinance can be enacted. By this time, per-

Investigate Russian contacts To the editor: I urge Congress to move forward quickly to establish an independent and bipartisan committee to resolve what actually occurred by Russia during the election. We now know that Russia has tried to influence the outcome of our most recent election. We know that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had multiple contacts with Russian officials during the election campaign. We know that the current administration is reticent to openly condemn Russia’s involvement. It’s what don’t we know that is most troubling. The country is deeply divided, and in turmoil. What better way to begin bringing calm and confidence than by putting to rest the fears that Russia has infiltrated our political system, and to assure America that there are no

other security concerns that perhaps have not yet surfaced. The pandering of the current administration to the growing power and effrontery of Russia is undermining any attempts to bring all parties together. Establish an independent and bipartisan committee now so our country can move on to the many other pressing issues as hand. NORMA THAYER Eagan

Speak boldly against oppression

because they consistently take such action. The column also does not acknowledge the obstacles created by politics and the power it has over the systems and institutions in our society which impacts individual citizens. My empathy as an individual does not change the racism the persons of certain skin colors face driving down the road, especially when leaders deny the existence and/ or effects of racism. My compassion regarding the bullying many children face at school does not change what they experience, especially when the most powerful leaders role model bullying. I do live my daily life with empathy and compassion while advocating for change; but my efforts are limited when those in power as well as my fellow citizens dismiss my voice, block my voice, or deny my voice. And not every individual can forge their true value, as the column states, when oppression exists. Nor can an individual fully do so in a society structured to primarily benefit 1-2 percent of its citizens. When oppression exists, the rights in a democracy are then only a privilege for some, and not an inherent right for all.

To the editor: In response to Keith Anderson’s column, “Does a political party define you?” (Feb. 3), I want to state that while I agree with some of the sentiments expressed in the column, I view the column as telling an incomplete story. The column does not acknowledge the level of oppression being attempted at national, state and local levels; which is the actual conflict point between citizens. The column also does not acknowledge the need and the right to speak boldly and firmly against such oppression. I agree that it is not constructive to ridicule or SANDI SIMONSON condemn a fellow citizen, Lakeville but this input needs to be shared with those in power

Caponi Art Park marks 25 years Party, reflective exhibition in the works for 2017 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the pioneering forces brining art to everyday life in Eagan is now a quarter century old. This year Caponi Art Park is celebrating 25 years as a nonprofit. Executive director Cheryl Caponi, cofounder of Caponi Art Park with her husband Anthony, said the park has been a unique source of inspiration and creativity in Minnesota for decades.

Although Anthony Caponi died in 2015, his legacy lives on in the 60acre green space off Diffley Road in Eagan. “Most of our time during the last 25 years was making sure the land the park is on would stay open space,� Cheryl Caponi said. “We started at a time when Eagan was the fastest growing city in the state. We were swimming the opposite direction of the city. We said we don’t want to sell our land. We want to leave it as an open space in the future.�

File photo

Anthony Caponi poses with one of his sculptures before Caponi Art Park became a nonprofit when he was chairman of the art department at Macalaster College. The photo is from a story that appeared in Eagan Thisweek in July 3, 1979.

Wayne Potratz, a retired University of Minnesota professor and former Anthony Caponi student, is now the park’s board chair who has been inspired by the park throughout his career. “It’s a kind of a place where art and nature are seen in context with each other,� Potratz said. “Caponi was a real role model for me. He was a worker. He essentially worked the land. He placed his work in the context of nature. The whole place is like one big sculpture.� The sculpture garden is its signature feature, and the park is home to several tours, field trips, educational opportunities and programs throughout the spring, summer and fall. There’s a summer performance series every Sunday, artist-led explorations on Tuesdays, a medieval fair in September and annual Halloween at the Park in October among many other special events. “There’s a real community component to it,� Potratz said. “It’s a public place. There’s education for children. You can experience various types of music and theater performances.� Organizers still are still in the planning process for other ways to honor the anniversary including a birthday party. A new beer and bluegrass event is in the works as well. This year they’re also opening up a newly created outdoor classroom on the southern portion of the property. It was paid for after a successful crowdfunding campaign last year. Caponi also mentioned two big programs waiting on grant funding approval, but couldn’t divulge any more details. Organizers want peo-

ple to know the public is welcome to the park. “We know the audience isn’t as diverse as we like it to be,� Caponi said. “The place is for everybody.� It takes money to make some of the magic happen. Many of the summer series performances have a $5 admission fee. For some performances this summer, tickets will rise to $10. “Performers need to be compensated, but if people say they have a hardship, we’re here to serve the community,� Caponi said. “It’s something that’s being done reluctantly but there’s a financial reality. We’re still trying to figure out ways to be as accessible as possible.� Financial stability is key to making it another 25 years. Funding for a nonprofit is a constant struggle, Potratz said.

“It’s here because my husband and I dedicated 25 years of our lives to make sure it’s here,� Caponi said. “We need as an organization to look to the community for involvement. To be here for the next 25 years in terms of funding and sustainability.� Much of Caponi Art Park’s funding comes from the Minnesota Arts Board or the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council through Minnesota legacy funds. “It’s always good to the thank the people who give the money, which is the citizens of the state, and it’s also good to the let them know it’s being well used,� Caponi said. To commemorate 25 years, the park is asking for people in the community to submit reflective artwork for an exhibition from May to July. “All of these years the park has been here

through all the programs and experiences, meaningful experiences, we’re asking the community to respond back on how the park has been a part of their life and influenced their life, and express that through whatever form of art they choose,� Caponi said. Even if community members just have a story to share, perhaps it could be included in a story book as part of the exhibit, Caponi said. The deadline is March 31. For more information on performances and how to submit artwork, visit www.caponiartpark. org. The Caponi Art Park also seeks volunteers, board members, sponsors and input. It’s open May through October at 1220 Diffley Road in Eagan. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Quilting for a cause

New Sociables meet March 6

Quilt Dreamers guild presents annual show at Galaxie Library by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For 25 years, members of the Quilt Dreamers have been using their passion for quilting to help those in need. “The main mission of our group is to make quilts for children in crisis situations,� said Cindy Wilson, a member of the Apple Valley-based quilting guild. “Originally, our quilts went to food shelves, fire departments and police departments throughout Dakota County, so that when a crisis occurred, a child could be comforted with a soft, warm, cuddly blanket of their own.� The guild, which has about 35 members, has expanded its outreach since its inception in 1992, providing quilts to veterans groups, battered women’s shelters, a crisis pregnancy center and other organizations, along with creating thousands of “chemo caps�

for cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. On March 18, the Quilt Dreamers will host their 24th annual “Bag Lady Quilt Show� at the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley. Admission is free to the noon to 4 p.m. event, which includes an exhibition as well as a silent auction with hand bags, wall hangings and other items. Funds raised at the silent auction will be used to purchase quilting materials for the guild. The Quilt Dreamers meet the third Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at space they rent at South Suburban Evangelical Free Church in Apple Valley. Meetings see members working on quilts, along with lunch and a short business meeting. New members are welcome, and quilting experience is not required. “If you don’t have sewing experience, we’ll

teach you how,� said Quilt Dreamers president Karen Driessen. Guild members produce 200-300 quilts per year, all of which are donated to area nonprofits and other groups, Wilson said. Over the years

they’ve donated about 4,900 quilts, and expect to hit 5,000 this spring. Those interested in joining the Quilt Dreamers, as well as nonprofit groups interested in receiving donated quilts, can contact Geri Claytor

at 612-501-4155 or geri. claytor@charter.net. More information about the guild is at www. prairieland.net/QuiltDreamers. Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

New Sociables Women’s Organization will meet 9:15 a.m. Monday, March 6, at Spirit of Life Presbyterian Church, 14401 Pilot Knob Road, Apple Valley. The church is located a half mile north of County Road 42. Stephanie Glaros, author of “Humans in Minneapolis,� will be the guest speaker. In 2010, Glaros decided to break down the social barriers between herself and people she encountered on the streets of downtown Minneapolis. She began to approach people on the street to hear their stories and take their photographs. With their permission, she told their stories on her blog, “Humans of Minneapolis.� A book was published in 2016. New Sociables is a social and service organization for all women in the south suburbs. Activities include 500 card club, book group, bridge, mahjong, crafts and more. For more information, call Kate Ionescu at 952-4579321 or Jean Benda at 952423-7102.

World Cafe aims to gain input on equity, integration Lakeville Area Public Schools invites families and residents to a World Cafe 6-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, to gain input on equity and integration efforts. It will be held at the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district office, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, Burnsville. In fall 2016, more than

40 superintendents came together to form an ad hoc committee to address equity and integration in education through an initiative named Reimagine Minnesota. These districts want to think and dream about a new model of education in Minnesota that is designed to help all Minnesota students succeed. Minnesota’s demographic composition is rapidly changing. In the coming years, the state will have an older, more diverse population across our state. School districts must ensure a diverse, skilled workforce ready to support the changing population of our state. Data tells educators there is a need to improve in all categories of our educational system to meet all students’ needs. Through the initiative, educational stakeholders are convening to hold community conversations

regarding equity and integration. The results of these will be shared with students, parents, business leaders, policy makers, and community stakeholders.

Sports Lightning returns to Xcel Center; trick is to stay there Girls hockey team ready for third consecutive state appearance by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A high school team taking the ice at Xcel Energy Center can be so mesmerized by the surroundings that it forgets it’s there to play a hockey game. That shouldn’t be a problem for the Eastview girls, several of whom will skate at Xcel on Thursday in the third state tournament of their careers. “I think this year, with it being our third time, we’re not the new guys in the tournament,” said senior forward Natalie Snodgrass, the Lightning’s leading scorer. “We definitely have the experience of playing in front of a big crowd. Stepping on the ice at the X, there’s no feeling like it, so obviously you’re going to have some nerves in the first period. We’re excited, but I think we’re just going to play hockey and play our game.” The Lightning (16-102), defeated East Ridge 2-1 in the Section 3AA championship game Feb. 15 in Inver Grove Heights to earn a trip to the state tournament for the third consecutive year. Although Eastview has won its last eight games and is

Mike Shaughnessy

Kaitlyn Pellicci’s goaltending has been one of the keys in Eastview’s late-season run. The Lightning plays Hill-Murray in the state Class AA girls hockey quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. 11-2 since Jan. 1, it goes into state as an underdog. Eastview wasn’t seeded in the tourney and will play its Class AA quarterfinal game against Hill-Murray (23-4-1) at 1 p.m. Thursday. Eastview faced HillMurray in the state quarterfinals two years ago. “We just got blown out of the water,” Snodgrass recalled about the Lightning’s 6-1 loss to a team that went on to win

the state championship. “Luckily for us, they graduated 10 or 12 D1 (college) players. They’re still very skilled, but not as deep as they were then.” The following year Eastview lost again in the state quarterfinals, but it was a much different game. The Lightning went toe to toe with No. 2-seeded Edina before the Hornets scored the game’s only goal with less than 10 minutes remaining.

“Something just clicked, and we realized we really are good enough to be there,” senior goalie Kaitlin Pellicci said. “Going into the third (against Edina), it was still tied. I’ve never seen our team so amped,” Snodgrass said. “We were in it to win it, and we had no doubt that we were going to win that game. But we got an unlucky bounce.” Last year Eastview won its final two games at state

and earned the consolation trophy. But the final two games were in front of smaller crowds at Ridder Arena. Pellicci and Snodgrass said they like playing at Ridder Arena but would just as soon not do it again this week. “A successful tournament would be winning our first game and staying at the X” for the last two, Pellicci said. Other Eastview players going to St. Paul this week for their third state tournament include senior forward Haley Ford, junior defender Katie Quaintance, senior forward Molly Beckman and senior defender Allie Tuccitto. Several other Lightning players are veterans of the run to the 2016 state tournament, but the roster also includes three ninthgraders and three eighthgraders. The younger players “are excited, I think,” Snodgrass said. “We’ve always talked about how much we want it and what it’s like at the state tournament. I think they’re ready, and they’re not nervous at all.” In the Section 3AA final, Beckman banked in a shot off the goalpost with 19.5 seconds remaining to put Eastview in front. It was the second year in a row the Lightning needed some magic in the third period of the section championship game.

In 2016 Snodgrass scored in the final 10 seconds of the third period to tie the game against Eastview, then scored the game-winner in overtime. Making plays late in meaningful games “just kind of shows how passionate we are and how much we really wanted it,” Pellicci said. The Lightning hopes to continue that in the state tournament, but whatever happens, several players will graduate after playing in the first three state tournaments in school history. “We’ve created a tradition of going to the state tournament,” said Snodgrass, who will play next year at the University of Connecticut. “Hopefully the girls will carry on our drive and success in the future.” The winner of the quarterfinal game between Eastview and Hill-Murray takes on No. 2-seeded Blaine (22-3-2) or Roseau (19-8-1) in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday at Xcel Energy Center. Farmington, the other South Suburban Conference team to reach the state tourney, plays No. 1-seeded Edina at 6 p.m. Thursday. Defending Class AA champion Eden Prairie plays Forest Lake at 8 p.m. Thursday. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Jalen Thul of Apple Valley pins a Prior Lake wrestler during the Eagles’ final regularseason match. Last week Apple Valley won the Class 3A, Section 2 team championship, defeating No. 1-ranked Shakopee 28-19 in the final. The Eagles qualified for the state team tournamen for the 35th consecutive year.

Eagles seeded first in state wrestling Apple Valley evens the score against Shakopee by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

where Apple Valley’s Sebas Swiggum upset Shakopee’s Brent Jones 7-5 in overtime. Jones, a threetime state champion, is ranked No. 1 in the state at 132; Swiggum is ranked fifth. That helped Apple Valley stay close enough until the Eagles finally took the lead in the later stages of the match. Devin Roberts won by one point at 152 and senior captain Jalen Thul won 2-0 at 170. The Eagles still trailed 19-16 when Tyler Kim scored a takedown in the final seconds to defeat Shakopee’s Abe Ngaima 5-4 at 195. Tanyi Besong won 8-5 at 220, which left Shakopee in the position of having to beat the nation’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight – Apple Valley junior Gable Steveson – to pull out the match. That didn’t happen, as Steveson pinned his opponent in 48 seconds. Adam Michelson (113 pounds) and Kyle Rathman (138) also won for Apple Valley. The Eagles won eight weights to Shakopee’s six. In the Section 2 quarterfinals, Eastview beat Lakeville North 34-30, avenging a regular-season loss to the Panthers. Rosemount fell to Prior Lake 72-9. Shakopee defeated Eastview 58-18 in the semifinals. The Section 2 individual tournament is Friday and Saturday at Prior Lake High School.

The state high school wrestling tournament still is a week away, but Apple Valley might have cleared its biggest obstacle to a 12th consecutive team championship. The No. 2-ranked Eagles defeated No. 1 Shakopee 28-19 in the championship match of the Class 3A, Section 2 team tournament last Friday at Rosemount High School. The victory gave Apple Valley its 35th consecutive section team title, a streak that started in 1983. It also means the Eagles are favored again to win the state team tournament Thursday, March 2, at Xcel Energy Center. Apple Valley (19-2) wrestles unseeded Minnetonka (14-4) in the first round of the state tournament, with the winner facing Hastings or Owatonna in the semifinals. Anoka and St. MichaelAlbertville are the top seeds in the other half of the bracket. The Class 3A team championship match is 7 p.m. March 2. After losing to Shakopee 29-28 in its season opener Dec. 1 – a loss ultimately responsible for ending a lengthy streak of conference championships – Apple Valley waited patiently for a chance at a rematch. The Eagles routed Burnsville 81-0 and Prior Lake 48-9 in the first two rounds of the Section 2 tourney. Shakopee won three Section 3 of the first four matches, Eagan reached the jumping to a 10-3 lead.

Andrew Wick and Jack Jo h n s o n - M a c p h e r s o n pinned their opponents at 106 and 113 as Eagan took a 12-0 lead. Hastings won 11 of the final 12 matches. A victory by Eagan’s Xavier Rosenbloom at 138 wasn’t enough to break the Raiders’ run. Eagan defeated CretinDerham Hall 76-3 and Woodbury 43-24 on its way to the section final. The Wildcats will compete in the section individual tournament Friday and Saturday at Park of Cottage Grove.

Section 1 Farmington’s twoyear streak of state team tournament appearances ended with a 33-28 loss to Northfield in the Class 3A, Section 1 quarterfinals. Northfield trailed by one point going into the 285-pound match, which the Raiders won by fall. Lakeville South couldn’t overcome an early 22-point deficit and lost to Rochester Mayo 40-27 in the quarterfinal round. Owatonna went on to win the Section 1 team championship. The Section 1 individual tournament is Friday and Saturday at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Those who follow high school Nordic skiing assumed the boys pursuit champion would come from a group of three skiers who are close friends and compete for the same club team. The question was, who would have his best race on the big day – Patrick Acton of Eagan, Xavier Mansfield of Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village or William Kerker of Minneapolis Southwest? Mansfield was third after the morning 5-kilometer freestyle race Feb. 17 at Giants Ridge but had the fastest time in the afternoon classic race. Mansfield made up a 20-second deficit to Acton, who finished second at state for the second consecutive year, and passed Kerker as well to win his first state title. The three are close friends and teammates at the Loppet Nordic Club, where they combined to win a national relay championship. Last week, each was pursuing an individual goal. Sometimes when several skiers are considered almost equal in ability, the race can almost be anticlimactic, said Brian Abery, coach of the ISD 196 combined program that includes Eagan. “What you see sometimes is one skier doesn’t have a good day and the race isn’t as close as you would think,” Abery said. “That didn’t happen at the state meet. All three skied pretty well. It was a fun, interesting race to watch.” Mansfield pulled away in the final 1.5 kilometers of the classic race to win with a combined time of 28 minutes, 23.2 seconds, nine seconds faster than Acton. Kerker, slowed by a collision with Mansfield on the classic leg, finished third in 28:35.6. Last year Acton, a senior, finished runnerup to Zak Ketterson of Bloomington Jefferson in a race where the Eagan skier admitted he was racing for second place. This

Eastview senior Ana Brakke skis at the state Nordic meet last week at Giants Ridge. year, Acton led after the freestyle leg – his strongest event – but had the 17th-fastest classic time. Mansfield credited good waxing for extra glide in the final stage of the classic race. Abery said Acton held on to his lead for as long as he could. “The last 1.5 kilometers are downhill,” Abery said. “For Patrick to have a chance to win, he needed to be significantly ahead of the others at the top of the hill, but they were bunched pretty closely. Patrick’s about 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, and the other two are much bigger. Sometimes it’s just a matter of leverage and gravity.” Acton led Eagan to eighth place in the boys team competition, which Minneapolis Southwest won. The Wildcats were hoping for a spot in the top three, but that became unrealistic when senior Ryan Steger fell ill on the day of the state meet. Steger raced anyway and placed 30th in pursuit; he was eighth in that event at state last year. Dylan Schuller (78th), John Martin (100th), Ryan Conroy (124th), Maxwell Marshall (144th) and Andrew Lowder (157th) also raced for Eagan. Tyler Haroldson of Lakeville South qualified individually and finished 49th. Eastview’s Bryant Ruff and Burnsville’s Nate Blichfeldt were 56th and 57th.

Girls meet Burnsville junior Kelly Koch was fifth in the girls pursuit race at Giants Ridge, her best finish in four trips to the state meet.

Koch stood in seventh place after the freestyle leg but had the third-best classic time, allowing her to move up a couple of spots in the overall standings. Her combined time was 32:58.5.

Prime Therapeutics plans to build new office space in Eagan by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Prime Therapeutics LLC has plans to build a new facility in Eagan to house a large portion of its local employee base. The pharmacy benefit managing company signed a lease with real estate developer UnitGROSS, from 1A left him a laughingstock. “I literally was shaking,� Gross said of the experience. His passion and interest was on the field, and Gross was a starting quarterback in high school. “I could throw the ball 70 yards in the air,� Gross said. “Couldn’t hit anybody, but I could throw it.� Gross attended junior college in Iowa Falls, Iowa, on a scholarship and was discouraged to realize he had to take a speech class until his speech teacher singled Gross out to compliment him on his golden speaking voice. “She changed my life,� Gross said. For the first time, he was encouraged about a speech assignment as he devised a story about fans who cannot find their cars after a game. He practiced all night before a mirror. He arrived to class excited, even eager, to deliver his speech. Just before he was to present it, Gross recognized this fresh start and told himself, “Nobody knows I’m dumb, so I’m going to pretend I’m not.� The speech drew enthusiastic applause. “Man, it was thunder-

ing,� Gross said. “It was better than a touchdown pass. It felt unbelievably good.� To his shock, he received an “A,� the first of his life. “That day changed me,� Gross said. “Because then I got another A and another A.� The teacher helped Gross get his first experience in radio. After graduation Gross went to basic training, assuming he would wind up in Vietnam. Instead, he was assigned as a radio and television broadcaster in Panama on Armed Forces Radio TV. He learned how to run cameras and made a point to listen to other broadcasters to improve his skills. Gross’ first job out of the Army was in Mason City, Iowa, as the newscaster, weather man and sportscaster, then he was in Springfield, Ill., where he worked for five years and offered to cover St. Louis football games using his own equipment for no charge. “I started to shoot and do stories,� Gross said. “Before long, the TV station in St. Louis would use my highlights and my story on their station. I really took to this football

Prime’s Minnesota sites in Bloomington and on Lexington Avenue in Eagan will remain open. The biggest reason Prime Therapeutics chose Eagan is because it’s in close proximity to their existing operations. “The majority of our buildings are already in Eagan and

photography and really studied it and wanted to be better.� He scored an interview with world-champion boxer Ken Norton, but the camera operator was new and he did not get the footage. Gross said the picture was white and Norton sounded “like a chipmunk.� He scrambled to find anything that could be used, but ultimately described the footage as “embarrassing.� “The news director called me in and said ‘John, that was horrific,’ � Gross said. “The sponsors refused to pay for it.� Gross said he was “burning� for another chance, and a year later he won best documentary in Illinois for a piece on champion boxer Muhammad Ali. “I spent two months writing and producing it,� Gross said. He set his sights on a “big-time station,� and his 38-page resume that included a $1 bill at the end of it for a coffee to the person taking the time to read it all landed him a job in Dallas. He eventually got a shot at his dream job of shooting football games for NFL Films. Gross covered a foot-

ball game in a driving rain, the only broadcaster on the field, getting shots of pouring rain in the lights but ruining the camera in the process. He won raves for the footage, and NFL Films hired him to cover a Packers game. “I don’t know how to run the camera very well at all,� Gross said. Everything went wrong and he had no footage well into the game. Desperate for a good shot, he was on his knees, and excited to see a guard and running back headed toward him. He was still rolling when he was hit, the camera smashed. “The next play is a game-winning touchdown,� Gross said. Gross now calls failure like that the key to his success. “I’ve failed at everything I’ve ever done,� Gross said. “NFL Films, I was fired after my first game. But it took being fired to fire me up and make me realize how bad I wanted it.� Gross became more determined, practiced, studied NFL films and stationed himself on the sidelines with NFL camera operators and watched carefully, learning when to turn on the camera, how to follow the plays. He hired a high school student to sit in the stands and mark on a chart where the camera operator was on the field when certain plays occurred and studied them to learn the best field positions for each

kind of situation. By the next year, Gross’ footage of Terry Bradshaw being picked up and thrown to the ground was featured by famed sports reporter Howard Cosell who marveled at the camera operators ability to capture it. He freelanced for NFL Films for about 25 years and worked at a Texas television station where he traveled with the Dallas Cowboys on the team plane, covered the big game and joined in the team’s private celebratory concert with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson’s hit “Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys.� “They played that one song for two hours,� Gross said. “The players walked up and in the worst voices you’ve ever heard would sing.� Gross worked at stations around the country, and came to KSTP in 1997 at age 46. “It was a dream job,� Gross said. He traveled the country covering Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves games and college and high school sports. Gross also produced features on his own and had his own segment on the show. Then, after decades in the business, Gross started feeling weak and suffered memory loss that was later attributed to several medical issues. He was diagnosed with diabetes, spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of

SENTENCING, from 1A the furnace room because she knew she did not have the required paperwork to use those items in the infant’s sleeping environment, the complaint said. Lucas had been attending Kartheiser’s day care three times a week for about three weeks. Two other charges against Kartheiser — manslaughter and interference with the body or scene of death — were dis-

the bone channel occupied by the spinal nerves or the spinal cord, and severe depression that he described as a deep, dark hole. Gross said he was on a downward spiral and his medication exacerbated his memory loss to the point he forgot how to do some aspects of his job. “The doctors told me it was like a perfect storm,� Gross said. “Everything coming together.� Gross struggled and eventually underwent mental health treatments, which he said turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He is now focused on using his experiences to help others go forward, giving uplifting speeches to schools, organizations and businesses around the country. His talks include stories of his career and inspirational people overcoming difficulties. He always stresses four points Gross said are the keys to success: Set goals and aim high; believe in yourself; work hard, never give up and don’t be afraid of failure. “I can make a difference,� Gross said. “This is more important to me than ... any game I played or interview I did in my 40-year career. If I can help anyone, that’s so much more important.� Gross does not charge to speak to students. He can be contacted atjgrossat5@gmail.com. Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

LEWIS, from 1A been heard by the Energy and Commerce Committee, some with features Lewis supports, such as tax credits for those purchasing insurance through a health savings account. He said the tax credits would increase based on age, since people typically need more health care as they age. The ACA has led to premiums increasing so fast that people are getting priced out of the market, especially young people who are healthy, according to Lewis. He said during a TPT Almanac interview that young people are opting to pay the ACA fine for not having insurance rather than obtaining coverage. “The only people who are left are people ‌ my age who are a little sicker,â€? Lewis said. Another reason that health insurance premiums are increasing is because there are 1,000 counties in the United States — about one-third of the country — that have no competition as only one insurance company is offering ACA-based coverage.

Business Buzz WomEn of Excellence announced

by Avaya. The recognition is the highest honor awarded to a partner by Avaya. The company was also distinguished as Service Partner of the Year for 2016. Avaya announced all the award winners during Avaya ENGAGE 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

She will be responsible for assisting with the organization’s overall marEagan firm named keting, public relations and social partner of the year media strategies. Dennis previously worked in ConvergeOne, an Eagan-based Minneapolis as a marketing coorprovider of communications and data solutions, has been named an dinator for Sportradar. While with Overall Partner of the Year for 2016 Sportradar, her team worked to pro-

In Minnesota, Gov. Mark Dayton made $310 million available last month to people who receive coverage through the individual market as an effort to buy down premium costs. Lewis said an ACA replacement bill should make health insurance affordable and portable when a person moves from one job to another or to another state. He said Health and Human Services Commissioner Tom Price has indicated he would remove some of the more onerous aspects of the ACA, such as requiring all people to carry pediatric coverage even if they don’t have children. With regard to Trump’s ban on travel to America from seven predominately Muslim countries, Lewis said he would not have addressed the issue in the way the president did, as it negatively affected Green Card holders and people who helped the U.S. on the battlefield. Lewis said the U.S. should prevent people from leaving Minneapolis and St. Paul, being radicalized by violent extremist groups and returning to Ameri-

ca. He noted that President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, had the support of the American people when he banned Iranians from entering America during the hostage crisis. With regard to the recent increased efforts to deport illegal immigrants, Lewis said he supports deporting those with criminal backgrounds. When asked if he supported a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in American, Lewis said there will be a number of things to consider once the border is secure. As for calls for Lewis to hold a town-hall-style meeting in the 2nd District, he said he hopes to have one. “We will figure out a way to do it,� he said — a promise he also made in a Tuesday letter to the Star Tribune. In the interview, Lewis said that 1st District U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, D-Mankato, hadn’t held a town hall in six years until last week. It’s a rarity that a new member of Congress with a new administration in charge would

mote the organization’s recent partnerships with the NBA, NFL, NHL and NASCAR.

Burnsville insurance advisor honored Burnsville resident Tim Mullin has earned membership in Principal Financial Group’s Million Dollar Round Table and also qualified for the company’s Premier Club. Mullin is a 16-year qualifier of the Million Dollar Round Table. Membership is attained by life insurance advisors who meet the organization’s annual production requirement and are members of their local life underwriters association. The Premier Club distinction recognizes advisors for their sales of Principal Financial Group products and solutions. Mullin’s office is at the Minnesota Business Center of Principal Financial Group located in Minnetonka.

have held a town hall in a month or so from taking office, according to Lewis. “We know it is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the people who worked for Hillary Clinton and my opponent,� he said of the clamor for a town hall. Lewis said he wants a town hall to be productive and constructive. He said his schedule has been crazy, as it’s been 24/7 for the past five or six weeks. After he was elected to his third term in 2006, former U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, held a town hall in April 2007 when he took many questions critical of U.S. involvement in the Iraq War. Some people had been asking for such a forum for a few months prior, but Kline staff said at the time that scheduling was routine. The town hall was held in Lakeville South High School’s auditorium and attended by 300 people who were described as “for the most part, well behaved and civil.� In September 2009, Kline held a more friendly affair in the

same auditorium when the topic was the possible passage of the ACA. Other House Republicans have been asked to hold an in-person town hall in recent weeks. U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano, was set to hold a meeting on Wednesday, while U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Eden Prairie, has yet to hold one since being re-elected in 2016. In the past week, Lewis has held two telephone town halls in which the participants are randomly selected. The former talk radio show host said the conference calls were like a radio show as people were able to ask questions about issues of concern. Some questions were about the ACA, presidential executive orders and tax reform. Lewis maintains a House website at http://jasonlewis. house.gov. The site includes his voting record, a way to send an email to Lewis and the ability to sign up to receive his e-newsletter. Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

The popular Coffee Concerts series at the Lakeville Area Arts Center is celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend with a performance by some high-profile names in Minnesota music. The concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, features Minnesota Orchestra director Osmo Vänskä and some of his orchestra colleagues performing clarinet quintets of Mozart and Brahms, as well as a clarinet-violin duo by Finnish composer Kalevi Aho. “This is a rare chance to see Osmo Vänskä put down his baton and pick up his clarinet for a full recital,â€? Coffee Concerts series co-founder Rolf Erdahl said. “We’re thrilled he agreed to bring such an all-star lineup of performers and repertoire to Lakeville.â€? Minnesota Orchestra members joining Vänskä at the concert include concertmaster Erin Keefe, principal second violin Peter McGuire, violist David Auerbach and associate principal cello Silver Ainomäe. Erdahl and his wife, Carrie Vecchione, founded the Coffee Concerts series 10 years ago when they were looking for a performance venue for their OboeBass! duo, in which Vecchione plays oboe and Erdahl bass. The Apple Valley couple inquired at the Lakeville Area Arts Center and were told if they started a chamber-music series there, they were welcome to be among the performers. The concert series has been held at the Lakeville venue since its inception. This year’s Coffee Concerts series continues April 30 with the Rose Ensemble presenting “American Roots: Harmonies That Shaped a Nation.â€? The season closes June 4 with tango music and dance featuring dancers James Sewell and Sabine Ibes along with OboeBass!, cellist Laura Sewell and guitarist Chris Kachian. Each concert features complimentary coffee and refreshments in the series’ informal cabaret setting, with the musicians providing some background on the pieces they’ve chosen to perform.
