The Eastview Lightning dance team lit up the U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 4. The girls performed during the pregame and halftime shows at Super Bowl LII. After sending in audition videos, the Lightning dancers were selected along with several other teams from the metro area. The girls had to agree to keep their participation a secret — a small price to pay for the opportunity to dance with Justin Timberlake at a nationally televised event. The team first learned the choreography from a video, and later made several journeys to the stadium for rehearsals with the other dancers.

The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” The quote, attributed to Pablo Picasso, is almost lost among the several dozen pieces of student artwork that surround it, but the message is clear: someone has taught the soon-to-be adults who created these paintings how to remain artists. That person is Tim Kurtz, the only art teacher at Dakota Hills. He has dedicated his life to keeping the artist alive in his

Street maintenance workers keep roads clear in 2018 by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Let a snowstorm be a snowstorm — that is the wish of Apple Valley’s street maintenance workers. “It’s so much better if it’s one big snow that we can just plow, rather than snow here and there throughout the day,” Apple Valley Street Superintendent Mike Glewwe said. It’s been a snowy 2018 so far, and Tuesday, Feb. 7, brought with it yet another snowfall. Snowplow operators arose long before the sun to clear the roads that residents used a few hours later to get to work and school.

Spaghetti dinner aims to save lives

Apple Valley Rotary raises $21,000 to eradicate polio

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Close isn’t good enough for Karen Kirkman when it comes to eradicating a life-altering disease. A member of Apple Valley Rotary, she’s worked with other members to put together a fundraiser for polio eradication. “So many people think polio has been eradicated, but it’s not,� she said. “We are really, really close.� On Sunday, Jan. 28, Apple Valley Rotary hosted its first ever Polio Plus spaghetti dinner and silent auction at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Kirkman chaired the event, but she said it was a combination of club and community members who helped her pull it off. “Everyone was enthused and the momentum built as members came in with donations, sold tickets, and promoted the dinner,� she said. Rotary served dinner to 168 people and raised $4,700. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation tripled everything the club raised, so the event raised $14,100. The American Legion donated $2,000, which the Gates Foundation tripled to $6,000. In total, the club has raised $20,100 for polio eradication efforts. Several honored guests attended, including Mayor

He was in an iron lung and I remember him telling me ‘I didn’t know if that is how I would spend the rest of my life.’� Kirkman said she couldn’t have organized the event without the help of community member Bill Tschohl. “Bill took an active interest and sold tickets, promoted the event, brought in numerous silent auction items and helped with the organization of the day,� Kirkman said. Tschohl was a 22-year member of Apple Valley Rotary and publication chairman for six years before retiring from the club in 2016. In November 2017, Tschohl connected Kirkman with Lindsey Green, general manager of the Apple Valley Legion. Together, they selected a date and a menu. “From the start, Lindsey and the leadership at the legion were enthusiastic about the dinner fundraiser,� Tschohl said. Table arrangements, ticket sales, silent auction items — Tschohl helped her work through each detail, and he committed himself to selling dozens of tickets and collecting many silent auction items.

This work was personal for Tschohl too. Tschohl was completely paralyzed by polio in 1950 when he lived in Mankato. He spent time in an iron lung at University Hospital and nine months at Sheltering Arms for treatment and recovery. While at Sheltering Arms, he watched fellow young patients have hot packs put on their limbs before doctors stretched them. “Many ended up with braces or didn’t make it,� Tschohl said. “Visits by parents were very limited.� Today, Tschohl remains passionate about eradicating polio throughout the world, and was happy to work with the club, as “Rotary International continues to be the heart and soul of polio eradication,� Tschohl said. Both Tschohl and Kirkman remarked that the community came together in unexpected ways for this event. “The community really rallied,� Kirkman said. “Pretty much everyone I asked for a donation from for the silent auction came through. It was really nice to see how positive the retailers and the community were for this fundraiser.� Wells was impressed with the depth of community involvement. From See POLIO, 6A

Peterson gives heart-to-heart about women in jazz Patty Peterson and Jazz Women All-Stars to perform at Valleywood by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The next time you are listening to a piece of jazz music, close your eyes and imagine the people playing the instruments. “If it is good jazz, you probably imagine a man,� jazz musician Patty Peterson said. Peterson knows, however, that female musicians can play just as well. That’s why she’s recruited some of the Twin Cities’ best female jazz musicians to help her redefine the genre. “My goal is to show off all of the wonderful women musicians we have in the jazz category,� said the former Jazz 88 FM host. A successful solo artist herself, Peterson put together the Jazz Women AllStars in 2016 to be featured at that summer’s Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Her group flipped the script — rather than an all-male cast with an occasional female singer or horn player, Peterson created an all-female group. Since the original performance, Peterson performs with the All-Stars three or four times a year. The members of the band are always changing because she wants to provide opportunities for the many talented people she knows to be a part of it. “I could do a concert and have probably 20 people on stage — that’s how many people I know that I want to include,� she said. “So I rotate it.�

Peterson is a familiar face in Apple Valley — she’s been performing at winter and summer concerts in the city for several years. “What a wonderful community — Apple Valley,� she said. “They believe in the arts.� She’ll perform again, this weekend, as part of the Apple Valley Arts Foundation’s free Frozen Apple concert series. This year, however, she’s bringing her fresh, new show with her. “Patty Peterson Presents Jazz Women All-Stars� will perform at Valleywood Golf Course on Feb. 10 from 6-9 p.m. The Jazz Women AllStars will feature Ginger Commodore’s vocals and the musical stylings of Mary Louise Knutson on piano, Joan Griffith on bass, Sheila Earley on drums and Kathy Jensen on sax. “These people all have wonderful reputations,� Peterson said. “Their names alone would be a draw.� She praised the group for their professionalism, and said they have a lot of fun together onstage as well. “Ginger does wonderful Ella Fitzgerald work. Mary is known for her original compositions, from her album ‘In the Bubble,’ � Peterson said. “Kathy Jensen is one of the finest saxophonists that you are ever going to hear. She shared the stage with Prince many, many times.� They perform some

originals, but most of the songs are covers. Peterson said there might even be some sing-alongs. Providing a stage for these jazz musicians to feature their talents has is highly personal for Peterson. On Feb. 12, 2007, Peterson’s perspective on life changed forever. “I was driving in my car and I felt a burst in my chest,� she said. Doctors repaired the aortic dissection in emergency surgery, but she continues to live with aortic disease. Today, Peterson has watched four sons graduate and get married, and she’s become the grandmother of six. She is involved with the American Heart Association’s “Go Red� campaign, and she also gives presentations about getting the most out of life. She calls it “Live Your Gift.� “My doctors and my family watch me like a hawk, and I live my life to the fullest,� Peterson said. “I go to groups and churches talk about one of the reasons we are all here — to live our gifts.� Peterson is looking forward to this concert, three days before Valentine’s Day and one day before the anniversary of her own heart event. “I want people to come out and help celebrate with me 11 years later,� she said. “I am blessed and I am grateful, and I show my gratitude by singing and

Opinion Amend state constitution to address succession issue When U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was pressured to resign by Senate Democrats in early January, a series of consequences unfolded that revealed a weakness in the Minnesota Constitution that needs to be addressed. To replace Franken, Gov. Mark Dayton chose his 2014 running mate, Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. That created a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor. The state constitution says plainly that the “last elected presiding officer of the state Senate shall become lieutenant governor.” However, the issue at hand is what to do if the Senate president does not want to become lieutenant governor? State Sen. Michelle Fischbach, R-Paynesville, is the Senate president. The Republicans hold a 34-32 advantage in the state Senate. One seat is vacant, caused by the December resignation of state Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-South St. Paul, after he was accused by DFLers of sexual harassment. Should the DFL retain Schoen’s seat, it would restore the Republicans’ precarious one-vote majority in the Senate. If Fischbach is then forced to become lieutenant governor, a special election would be held, giving the DFL a chance to take control of the Senate. Fischbach does not want to give up the Senate seat to which she was elected. In fact, she has not taken the oath of office to be lieutenant governor, nor has she accepted any pay for the position.

ECM Editorial ever, the state constitution also says that no legislator shall hold another public office except for postmaster and notary public. That would seem to make it clear that one cannot be lieutenant governor and a state senator simultaneously. Is she the lieutenant governor if she has not taken the oath of office or accepted pay for the position? A constituent of Fischbach’s has filed suit claiming that she is no longer a state senator. The courts will decide the question. The lack of desirability in becoming lieutenant governor is because the position was stripped of its most important regular duty – that of being the Senate’s presiding officer. That occurred in 1972 when voters approved a constitutional amendment by which the governor and lieutenant governor would run as a team. Then, in 1974, voters approved a general re-writing of the Minnesota Constitution to conform to modern language. Today, the lieutenant governor calls the Senate to order on its convening day, and then steps down after the presiding officer is elected. The lieutenant governor is a member of the State Executive Council, the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board, the State Capitol Preservation Board and chairs the advisory committee on Capitol Area Secu-

rity. In short, the lieutenant governor has very little political influence. His or her primary duty is to wait around and pray the governor doesn’t die. In the state’s 160-year history, the position of lieutenant governor has been vacant 12 times. Eight times the position was vacant because the lieutenant governor became governor. Four times, including this year, the lieutenant governor resigned to take another job. Sometimes the new lieutenant governor continued to vote as a senator. (The longest time a person did double duty as a lieutenant governor and Senate president was when Frank Day held both positions from Jan. 31, 1895, to Jan. 5, 1897.) Several times the Senate did not meet after the new lieutenant governor was sworn in. A few times the Senate president delayed taking the oath as lieutenant governor. The longest time that the office of lieutenant governor remained vacant was from May 1, 1953, to Oct. 28, 1954. (Lt. Gov. Ancher Nelsen resigned and Senate President Donald Wright did not take the oath until almost 18 months later.) Republicans argue that legal precedent was set by Day and others who held both offices. Democrats argue that the rewritten state constitution prohibits holding both offices simultaneously. The Legislature has enacted a statute addressing the issue of succession should both the offices of governor and lieutenant governor become vacant simultane-

ously. Should catastrophe strike the top of state government, the order of succession to be governor are first the president of the Senate, then the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, next the secretary of state, then the state auditor and finally the attorney general. All of those positions have more important responsibilities than those assigned to the lieutenant governor. For the short term, we hope the state courts act swiftly to decide this current situation. However, a long term solution is needed. We think a constitutional change is in order. That would require the approval of the voters in the next election. Possible directions that proposal could take would be to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor altogether while retaining a succession plan (and perhaps giving preference in the succession plan to someone from the governor’s own party) or to combine the job with one of the others listed in the order of succession law. What doesn’t make sense is forcing someone to take the position who doesn’t want it or paying the lieutenant governor a salary of $82,959 for a job with minimal daily responsibilities.

Reach out to a veteran on this somber anniversary by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Last week, all eyes were on Super Bowl LII. Extensive investments of time, energy and millions of dollars led up to the big game. Lost in all of the hype was a significant 50th anniversary, one that still brings pain and sorrow to many of our fellow Minnesotans. In late January and early February 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched an aggressive assault on South Vietnam targets. It was called the Tet Offensive because it was timed for the Vietnamese new year holiday, or Tet. American forces and their allies suffered huge loss of life in the weeks that followed. Despite being a young teenager in rural Minnesota, for me the war hit home every night when we watched Walter Cronkite. Each evening’s news opened with the latest in the war effort, along with the estimated number of Americans killed. Death tolls exceeded 500 soldiers a week in those days from Jan. 31, 1968, into February. Heavy fighting continued all year – some 16,899 American soldiers died in 1968. Those numbers were staggering. And for our small rural communities in southern Minnesota, we were hit hard very close to home. Three young men from the area were killed in action

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken during Tet, including my best friend’s brother, David. We were stunned as we went through the motions of the funeral and the military salute at the cemetery for our friend and neighbor. Everyone joined together to support the family. I reconnected with this lifelong friend this past summer. We did our best to catch up on a few decades of life. We laughed, shared photos and talked nonstop. It was inevitable that the conversation turned to David, his memory and his impact on her family’s life. We were keenly aware the 50th anniversary of his death was coming in a few months. “Have you been to the wall?” I asked. Not yet, she said, although she has seen the replica Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall that has stopped in several locations in Minnesota. I’ve been to the wall in D.C. several times, and each time I look up David’s name. The emotional impact of seeing more than 58,000 names carved into stone, all real people, each someone’s child, is overwhelming. Of those names, 1,077 were Minneso-

tans and one was my neighbor David. Fifty years later, the repercussions of the Vietnam War on thousands of veterans and their families continue. For some, like my friend whose brother gave the ultimate sacrifice, the wounds are still raw five decades later. For others, the wounds are harder to define. Post-traumatic stress disorder was not recognized as a real thing when the soldiers returned home. The anti-war sentiment was extensive and the veterans were not treated with respect. Others developed serious health issues over time. I’d still like to know if there was a connection between Agent Orange and the number of soldiers who developed leukemia or other cancer later in life. Today, 50 years after the costliest battles of the Vietnam War, would be a good time to reach out to Vietnam vets. But don’t just say thank you. Jake Wood, writing last Veterans Day for military.com, said: “America should move beyond trite words of thanks and into a deeper conversation about what it means to be a veteran in today’s world — or yesterday’s for that matter. With less than 1 percent of the nation having served in the military since 9/11, the divide between civilians and the military is perhaps at its widest ever.” Wood, the founder of the national veterans support nonprofit Team Ru-

bicon, encourages us to ask veterans about their experiences in the military. Yes, we know that some veterans find it difficult to answer the question, but many are eager to share their stories. I can think of a couple of other questions we can ask. We can ask a veteran to help us identify the best organizations that we can support with our donations. There seems to be many charities that claim to benefit veterans – which ones are legit? And with 2018 being an election year, we can ask veterans to help us understand which issues are most important at the state and federal level. It seems every politician says he or she supports our veterans, but how? Is there specific legislation that needs public support? Are there key funding issues we should address? What questions should we be asking when candidates knock on our doors, looking for our vote? The Super Bowl is already starting to fade in our memory. Our veterans are here with us every day. Reach out to them, not merely to say thanks but to ask questions, to seek to understand. And last, we can ask, “How can I help?” Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers. Reactions welcome: peggy.bakken@ecminc.com.

Letters Thank you for your support To the editor: Over the course of the past two years, the Apple Valley Police Department has received hundreds of cards, notes, and letters of support. Most of these letters have been sent anonymously, without a return address or other identifying information. As the cards come in, police administration makes it a point to share them with our entire staff. As

such, we implemented a “weekly thank you” email program. Each week, we open, scan, and send one or two thank you cards to our entire staff and post the cards in our briefing room where our patrol officers meet each shift. After a couple months, we identified a problem. We had no place to post shift bids, squad car assignments, or intelligence information because there were so many thank you cards! For over two years, our

employees have enjoyed this constant reminder that we are appreciated for the sacrifices we make for our community and that you, our community, support us. There is no stronger message than a simple “thank you.” The Apple Valley Police Department works hard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to make sure we serve this community with dignity and respect. It’s a fantastic feeling to know we are appreciated for our efforts. So, for

all of you who have sent cards, notes, and letters of support; for all of you who tell us “thank you for your service” when you walk by us; for all of you who have dropped off treats or paid for an officers meal at a restaurant; and for all of you who stand up and support law enforcement across this country, thank you! Your support means more than you will ever know and helps us do a difficult job during a difficult period of time.

To the editor: Society largely ignores the impact of human activities on the environment that sustains human life, at our peril. Scientists have studied this rapidly changing world six ways from Sunday. The message is clear, with confidence levels as high as 100 percent for some phenomena, that humans are building a dismal future for ourselves. Some of the most worrisome scientific predictions have come true sooner than expected. In 2017, the cost of weather disasters in the United States alone was $306 billion, $100 billion more than previous records. Two colors had to be added to the top of the rain

chart for Texas and Louisiana from one storm, (15 times the volume of Lake Mille Lacs). Many Puerto Ricans are still without power. Wildfire and mudslide losses in California are staggering. Boston streets flooded from their highest-ever tide. These effects are linked in some ways to human activities. They impact all of us through taxes and insurance rates, and also in world security as countries are destabilized by loss of land and food. In 10 years, U.S. costs are predicted to average $1 billion per day. I refuse to accept that humanity must come to its end. We know how to fix this. We have the technology, but lack the political will. We’re on a sinking ship, and some say that it can’t be stopped, so dance and sing as if nothing is wrong. That’s not what the science says. Some say it will be easier to stop in the future, when today’s urgent concerns will be gone. That’s not what the science says. Some say the science itself is wrong. But, the evidence keeps mounting. Last year was the 21st in a row with average temperature higher than the 20th century. This week precinct caucuses were held across the state. I hope people of every political affiliation addressed this on caucus night and will continue to speak boldly that we can

solve this and do want to solve this. Demand a more secure future for our children and grandchildren. Demand action. BILL MIDDLECAMP Apple Valley

Lewis seeks feedback To the editor: Thank you to U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-2nd District, for including a question about climate change in his website’s Comprehensive Issues survey. Minnesota is experiencing more rapid change than most areas of the U.S., with temperatures now rising 1/2 degree per decade. This will continue to strain all the systems that contribute to our famous quality of life, from food production to recreation. Climate change is a planet-sized problem that requires action on all levels — from individuals and local communities to state and federal policy makers. Lewis is asking for our opinion on climate change. Take the survey then ask him to join 34 of his GOP colleagues in the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus who are working on economically viable solutions to climate change. They are the leaders we need right now. LAUREL REGAN Apple Valley

New Jersey firm acquires Gopher Valley Natural Resource Foods launches Eagan-based Gopher Resource LLC has agreed capital to be acquired by Energy campaign Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in New Jersey. The two parties expect to close the transaction on or around March 6. Gopher Resource would join ECP’s growing portfolio of energy-related companies, including those in power generation, midstream oil and gas, renewable energy, environmental, and related services. Jeffrey Jacobsen, Gopher Resource chief executive officer, explained that the two like-minded companies have been in talks for some time. He said that his company’s exceptional performance and the battery industry’s growth made Gopher Resource an attractive acquisition prospect. Jacobsen expects no immediate changes in the Gopher Resource leadership team or among employees, daily plant operations, or the company’s longstanding commitments to safety and environmental stewardship. The two companies will release a joint statement once the acquisition is finalized. Gopher Resource, founded in 1946, uses advanced technology to recycle spent automotive, industrial and stationary batteries in a safe and sustainable manner. The

Valley Natural Foods in Burnsville will break ground this spring on an expansion and full-store remodel.

Education College president honored Tim Wynes, president of Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College, was recently honored by the Phi Theta Tim Kappa Honor Wynes Society National Center for Excellence with the Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction. College presidents receive this prestigious national award based on their exemplary support and promotion of the Phi Theta Kappa mission: Recognizing the academic achievements of two-year college students while providing opportunities for all students to grow as scholars and leaders. “One of the great joys of my career in education has been my connection with Phi Theta Kappa,� Wynes said. “It is a privilege to be among a select group of community and technical college presidents honored PLOW, from 1A said. “The timing was just about as bad as it could get.� In anticipation of the storm, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 declared Monday, Jan. 22, as a snow day, and later made the same call for Tuesday. The Apple Valley street maintenance workers plowed through the night to make sure people would be able to use the roads the next morning regardless. Getting was one of the people who made it possible for people to get to work that Tuesday morning. The fleet worked to plow all of the major roads before moving onto residential streets. Despite their best efforts, the plows couldn’t make it down every street as they found

by Phi Theta Kappa with the Gordon Award of Distinction. PTK students are citizen-scholars. They are outstanding students committed to community involvement. That is a direct reflection of the efforts of faculty and Student Life leadership.� Wynes went on to say that students belonging to the Alpha Beta Omicron chapter on the Inver Hills campus led a drive to reduce plastic water bottle usage, provided students a safe space to offer their opinions on matters big and small, and made valuable public service videos for Inver students. “I appreciate that PTK faculty adviser Vicky Knickerbocker and our PTK student leaders consult with me on their annual projects so I may reduce or eliminate any barriers,� Wynes said. “The students never fail to be engaged, bright and committed to Inver Hills. I share the award with them and our

college.� Wynes has been invited to accept the Gordon Award at the Phi Theta Kappa centennial convention, PTK Catalyst 2018, in Kansas City, Missouri, April 19-21.

stalled and stuck cars blocking their path. “One car is all it takes to block us,� Getting said. “There were cars stuck near almost every major intersection.� Glewwe sent the crew of 35 home between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Since many had been in the office since 6 a.m. that morning, they’d reached their fatigue limit. Two backup workers plowed throughout the night. They were on call to clear roads for police, fire trucks or ambulances if needed, but their services were never requested. The entire crew came back by 2:45 a.m., and the fleet was dispatched to plow everything again. “By Tuesday afternoon, with the sun coming out, the salt we had put down and the good plowing effort, a lot of our streets —

at least the majors — were back to black pavement,� said Apple Valley Public Works Director Matt Saam. Despite the long hours it took to conquer this historic snowstorm — the most snowfall since 2010 — Getting said he doesn’t mind the snow. He’s been plowing roads for 30 years. “I’ve always been an equipment person. I grew up on a farm,� he said. “I think a lot of us, we liked trucks and machines and all of that as a child.� Getting said his biggest challenge is not removing the snow itself, but coping with impatient drivers. Often, people drive too close to the plow, or they try to pass around the plows when it isn’t safe. “If you can’t see the driver in the mirror, they can’t see you,� Glewwe

ART, from 1A Picasso and Cubism, one of his signature styles, Kurtz asked his students to paint their own Cubist portraits. “We started with these four squares,� Kurtz said, gesturing to a painting comprised of four miniature paintings. “We learned about using black and white, then we learned about monochromatic colors, then we talked about hot and cold and finally we talked about opposites.� It’s clear from the students’ work in the hallways that they mastered those four lessons, but Kurtz’s students say painting is not the only skill he has taught them. “It’s more than painting and art — he’s taught me a way of looking at life,� eighth-grade student Chris Jones said. “It’s a more positive way of looking at things.� Through art Kurtz has also taught his students to be more accepting. “He taught me how to be less critical of myself. I learned I don’t have to be perfect,� eighth-grade student Weris Jama said. “Art doesn’t have one answer. He’s helped me see that there are a lot of different perspectives.� Jones learned a similar lesson. “He taught us that nobody is perfect, and that you can look at anything and see different types of perfect,� Jones said. Perhaps it is for that reason that so many students choose to take art classes with Kurtz, even when they are electives. “It’s welcoming, this place,� said seventh-grade student Sarah Finwall. “It’s a place to go when you want to feel better.� Kurtz’s classroom environment extends far beyond his classroom. One of the most noticeable examples is the Wall of Fame — a glass case where Kurtz displays some of the most impressive pieces his students create. “Sometimes people will ask me why their piece isn’t on the wall, and I’ll say: ‘You are captain of

Kurtz has taught his students to have a greater appreciation for art, and for their peers who create it. “Everyone has something different to offer,� Finwall said. “We can be inspired by each other’s work, and we know that’s not copying. It’s like we are complimenting them.� Jones is considering a career in architecture or graphic design. Jama and Finwall both aspire to become doctors, but they have gotten involved in their school’s theater program and have taken on leadership roles in areas related to tech and design. Though they may not pursue formal careers in art,

all three said Kurtz’s classes have inspired them to find ways to incorporate art into whatever career they choose. It’s not only the students who have been profoundly impacted by Kurtz — his work daily impacts his peers as well. “Tim’s art displays fill my soul,� District 196 peer leader Marge Dunn said. For Kurtz, it’s all in a day’s work. He’s dedicated over three decades of his life to teaching. “Tim has taught for over 30 years and continues to pour himself into the art and lives of his students,� said Cathy Kisch, a seventh-grade math teacher at Dakota Hills. “This is a teacher who inspires generations of middle school children, as well as other teachers.� “He’s the best teacher in America, hands down,� said Dakota Hills Assistant Principal Jim Roberts. “He gets kids to really love art. He creates 30 artists with every class.� Although Kurtz won’t always be their teacher, the lessons he teaches his students continue to inspire them to stay artists as they transition into their young adult lives. Even if they don’t pick up a paintbrush every day, they’ll use the lessons Kurtz taught them about seeing different perspectives. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

which is really exciting,� said the Burnsville High School alum. “There are lots of different backgrounds, and ages and genders.� Off the stage, Duea said the cast has become quite close. Inside jokes, about each other and the script, keep conversations lively. As the cast has gotten to know each other better, Duea has been able to bring harmony to her two passions. “I’m pretty much known as the yoga teacher/actor,� she said. “I lead breathing exercising and stretching all the time.� Duea has fully embraced this dual identity. “I consider myself to be equally both,� she said. “They both take the same amount of time and they both are equal passions.� While her fellow actors participate in her yoga lessons behind the scenes, Duea’s yoga students are some of her biggest fans when she takes the stage. “I love my Apple Valley yogis, and I know they are excited to see the show,� Duea said. For herself, Duea has seen yoga help her become a better actress. “A lot of the skills and exercises and mindfulness that we use in yoga directly translate into storytelling,� said. “And it helps me not let what’s happening on stage affect me personally.� Last year, she played a character who struggled with addiction and other mental health issues. “I found myself, as an outsider, looking at that character with deep empathy and compassion,� she said. “But because it is a

You take them along on this journey.� Just as she’s learned to leave her worries and stress on the mat in yoga, she was able to leave her anxiety and pains on the stage after each performance. “Applause is the number one palate cleanser,� she said. “It can make everything that you’ve done totally worth it.� Duea studied theater and psychology at the University of Minnesota, and today self-care, through storytelling and through yoga, are important aspects of Duea’s life. “What’s most important to me is that the stories we tell ourselves are as nurturing, and caring and healing as possible,� she said. “Even if the stories we portray in theater can be tough, it’s important we shed light on them.� That’s exactly what she hopes “Picasso at the Lapin Agile� will do for audiences.

“I think the show itself is a beacon of light and sun, and you will laugh your head off,� Duea said. “It’s something we need in winter.� “Picasso at the Lapin Agile� runs from Feb. 9 through Feb. 29 at the Gremlin Theater, located at 550 Vandalia Street, St. Paul.

Lewis taken to hospital after train-truck crash 2nd District representative was evaluated for concussion, released by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis was treated and released from a hospital near Charlottesville, Virginia,

after the Amtrak train that he was riding in as a passenger along with several other GOP lawmakers crashed into a truck Wednesday, Jan. 31. A passenger in the truck

Marijuana bust leads to felony charges An Eagan man was found with more than 250 pounds of marijuana in various forms last week, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Brian David Hiltner, 28, was charged with a felony first-degree controlled substance crime (sale or 25 or more kilograms) following a search in Lakeville on Jan. 31. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail and a $1 million fine. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and Lakeville Police Department executed a search warrant in Lakeville where they found more than 200 pounds of plastic vacuum sealed bags of marijuana, several hundred containers of wax marijuana, 50 pounds of marijuana gummies and $26,000 in cash. Prior to executing the search warrant, an officer observed a vehicle driven by Hiltner leave the property. When he was stopped, the officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Following a search, officers found nine vacuumsealed plastic bags believed to be filled with about a pound of marijuana each

with 14 gallon-sized plastic bags in excess of 50 pounds containing edible gummies. In the house, officers found 183 more vacuumsealed bags with additional edible gummies and large containers of marijuana in wax form. Backstrom was particularity concerned about the candy-based drugs. “Gummies and other edibles are of great concern as they are manufactured with varying levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana,� Backstrom said. “When products are shaped like candy, there is not only a greater concern of possible overdose, there’s also the concern that children will accidentally ingest them.� While being interviewed by officers, Hiltner admitted that he lived in the residence and all the items belonged to him. He said he sells the drugs. When he was stopped by the officer, he said he was bringing marijuana to a friend. Backstrom thanked Lakeville police and Southwest Metro Drug Task force for their quick response and investigation. Hiltner’s bail was set for $50,000. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 22.

died at the scene while the other two occupants were treated and taken to an area hospital. Stephen Bradford, Lewis’ communication direc- Jason tor, said on the day Lewis of the crash that the first-year representative from the 2nd District, that includes Dakota County, was evaluated for a concussion, discharged and travelled onto a retreat that had been planned for Republican lawmakers. “Rep. Lewis is grateful for the care of the clinical staff at the UVA Medical Center in Charlottesville,� Bradford said at the time.

“He looks forward to participating in the retreat as much as he is able.� According to the New York Times, the crash occurred around 11:20 a.m. about 10 miles northwest of Charlottesville. Some lawmakers reported being jostled or thrown about the cabin as the train, which was reportedly travelling at about 60 miles an hour, collided with the truck. News reports said that several lawmakers who are doctors exited the train to deliver first aid to the passengers of the truck.

After the crash, buses picked up the lawmakers to complete the trip to the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, where the party has planned its annual policy retreat. The train was filled with about half of the Republican members of the House and Senate, according to the New York Times. National Transportation Safety Board investigators said they expected to obtain two data recorders from the train. Board Member Earl Weener confirmed to ABC News that the NTSB was treating the incident as an “accident,� responding to

reporter questions about whether it could have been an intentional act targeting GOP lawmakers. “If we find anything that indicates that this was intentional, we will turn that over to the FBI,� Weener told ABC News. AP reports said that area residents who were at the crossing earlier in the day said that the crossing arms and lights were malfunctioning, adding that the crossing arms were down at certain times with no trains crossing or in sight.

Now’s not the time to relax for Lightning Boys skaters remain tied for 1st in SSC by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On Saturday, after winning for the 13th time in 14 games, Eastview’s boys hockey players got to hear about it from their coach. Except that Drey Bradley didn’t want to talk about pinpoint passing that led to goals or responsible play in the defensive zone. Instead, he spoke about a sluggish start and unnecessary penalties that made a 5-3 victory over Farmington closer than perhaps it needed to be. “That seems wrong, doesn’t it?” Bradley said with a grin. “The coaches are in here barking at you, and what’s your record now? (It’s 17-4, by the way.) “But you can’t be satisfied with where you’re at. When you get in the playoffs it doesn’t matter what you did all season long. You have to be playing good hockey, so that’s my focus and what I want to stress to them. That’s why the coach gets excited when we’re still winning games but we’re not playing as consistently as we

though its first seven games, then won its next 10. After a loss to Lakeville North, the Lightning won its next three. Eastview is 11-3 in the South Suburban Conference, tied for first with Rosemount. The Lightning has played some of its best hockey against Rosemount, which it defeated 5-1 and 3-0. Eastview has been an infrequent contender for championships in conferences dominated over

the past decade by teams such as Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville North and Eden Prairie. Winning the South Suburban “is one of our goals, and after that we’ll think of more goals, like what can we do to get to a higher level,” Bordson said. The Lightning, which has been to two state tournaments (2001 and 2013) has one of its deepest and most skilled teams. “We do, as far as having defen-

Lightning loses tiebreaker, but returns to state Girls going to Nordic meet for 5th straight year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A few years ago, Eastview’s second-place finish at the Section 1 Nordic skiing meet would have been as heartbreaking as it gets. The Lightning and Winona/Winona Cotter scored the same number of points at Tuesday’s section meet, but Winona won the tiebreaker based on combined time of each team’s top four skiers. The second-place finish still sends Eastview to next week’s state meet at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Until the 2014-15 season, only section champions advanced to state, but a format change now allows the top two finishers from each section to ski at state. Thus, the Lightning avoided a harsh fate. Burnsville’s boys also advance to state as a section runner-up after finishing six points behind Prior Lake at the Section 1 meet at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. The Blaze was third in last year’s section meet. Winona sophomore Anni Skillkorn won the girls pursuit race in 31

The Lightning was led by senior Kareena Clendening, who was 10th overall in 34:21. Kira Gunawan was 13th in 34:59. Josie Roberts (15th, 35:40), Anna Schumann

(16th, 36:02), Claire Nack (17th, 36:04) and Gabby Kraemer (19th, 36:33) also finished in the top 20 for Eastview. Annika Challgren placed 33rd. It will be the fifth consecutive trip to the state meet for Eastview, which finished 12th last year. The top six individuals not on one of the qualifying teams also advance to the state meet, which

on the Section 1 girls side meant the secondthrough seventh-place finishers will move on. That group includes Lakeville South teammates Brianne Brewster and Violet Tessier, who finished second and third. Brewster had the second-fastest time on the classic and freestyle stages and had an overall time of 32:33. Tessier’s time was 32:50. Rosemount senior Tess Grunklee also will ski at state after finishing sixth in the section in 33:28. In the regular season, Lakeville North and Lakeville South compete as one girls team, and Apple Valley, Eagan and Rosemount also combine. Minnesota State High School League rules require those team to split up for section competition. Lakeville South and Lakeville North were fifth and 10th in the girls standings. Rosemount and Eagan were seventh and eighth. Apple Valley did not have a skier in the section girls race. Burnsville finished ninth without its top skier, senior Kelly Koch. Koch, who was fifth in last year’s state meet, likely would have been the favorite to win Section 1, but she has been competing and See NORDIC, 18A

Notes: the latest flock of college signings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Wednesday was the first day of the winter signing period for high school athletes who will continue their careers in college. Traditionally, the first Wednesday in February was the first day football players could sign. With the NCAA adding a December signing period for football in 201718, a number of players in that sports signed early, although they had the option to wait until February. Soccer players are allowed to sign National Letters of Intent this week. Here are local athletes expected to sign this week: Apple Valley Jackson Green, football, Minot State; Riley Hansen, football, Air Force; Kellan McKeag, football, Valparaiso; Spencer Rolland, football, Harvard. Burnsville Morgan Keirstead, soccer, Augustana. Eagan Dane Miller, baseball, Columbia; Chelsea Sorensen, lacrosse, Limestone; Amanda Conkel, soccer, Minnesota Duluth; Lauryn Roszak, soccer, North Dakota State.

Rosemount Megan Dahl, soccer, Bemidji State; Brea Debettignies, soccer, Manitoba.

For the record books Lakeville North junior Andrew Trepanier broke two Kenwood Trail Middle School pool records in a boys swimming dual meet Monday against Lakeville South. Trepanier won the 50-yard freestyle in a pool-record 20.86 seconds and set a second record in the 100 butterfly, winning that event in 50.49. He was second in 50 freestyle and third in the 100 butterfly at the 2017 state Class AA meet. Lakeville South won the dual 9282 in the final regular-season meet

for both teams. Tristen Beach (200 freestyle), Keegan Rien-Melin (diving), Tate Leverenz (100 freestyle) and Carson Witte (500 freestyle) were individual event winners for the Cougars, and South also took the 200 medley relay. In other records-related news, Apple Valley boys basketball guard Tre Jones passed the 2,000-point mark for his career in the Eagles’ 90-65 victory over Burnsville on Monday. Jones had 20 points in the game.

Player of the Week Robert Tobroxen, a senior forward from Burnsville, was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week after averaging 17.7 points in three St. Olaf victories. Tobroxen, an Apple Valley High School graduate and member of the Eagles’ 2013 state Class 4A championship team, had 24 points, six rebounds and six assists in the Oles’ 75-62 victory over St. John’s on Saturday. St. John’s was ranked fourth in NCAA Division III. Tobroxen also made two threepointers in the final two minutes of regulation time in a St. Olaf victory over Bethel.

semen who can move the puck and forwards who can skate,” Bradley said. “When they’re playing their best, they’re out there buzzing around, moving the puck, not trying to do too much, communicating with their teammates and pushing it forward. A lot of the really good hockey we’ve played has been that.” Eastview outshot Farmington 34-15 on Saturday at Apple Valley Sports Arena but didn’t put the game out of reach until Davis Carlson scored an empty-netter with 41 seconds remaining. Bordson scored the Lightning’s first two goals and had one assist. Ryan Quaintance and Owen Dauk also scored. Bordson had a hat trick in Eastview’s 4-3 victory at Eagan on Jan. 27. Zach Anderson scored twice and Quaintance had a goal and two assists as the Lightning beat Burnsville 5-2 on Jan. 30. Bordson (39 points) and Anderson (34) are the Lightning’s leading scorers. Senior defenseman Lenny Nunn has 25 points and three more Eastview players have at least 15. Co-captain Ben Beattie is 12-3 in goal with a 2.37

goals-against average. Eastview is ranked 15th in Class AA. No. 2-ranked St. Thomas Academy figures to be the favorite in the Section 3AA playoffs that start later this month, and 16th-ranked Rosemount also is likely to be a factor. The work toward being a good postseason team already has started, Bradley said. “You put ourselves in position by playing well night after night,” he said. “Our guys believe we can compete with everybody,” Bordson said. “In Bantams, we were really good. We had a chance to go to state, and we knew we were going to be good in a few years (in high school hockey). Now we have the team we wanted to have and we’re going to push as far as it’ll go.” Eastview will play at Shakopee at 7 p.m. Thursday and plays host to Lakeville South at 2 p.m. Saturday. Lakeville South remains in the South Suburban Conference race at 9-4-1 and lost to Eastview 4-3 in overtime Jan. 9. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagles’ Steveson wins the mega-match AV star performs well, but not well enough for his liking by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The fans and media got what they wanted. Gable Steveson, not so much. Yes, Steveson won his highly anticipated match against Daniel Kerkvliet on Friday in a duel of reigning world champions that might have been unprecedented in Minnesota high school history. But the Apple Valley senior, regarded as the nation’s top high school wrestler, didn’t win the way he wanted. “I took the challenge. I’m not going to run from it,” Steveson said after edging Kerkvliet 3-2 at 285 pounds in the final match of Apple Valley’s 38-24 victory over Simley. “I came here expecting a tech fall or pin … I’m not satisfied with the win. I know I got it, but next time I’m not playing games.” Steveson, a three-time defending state Class 3A individual champion, extended to 159 matches a winning streak that started at the beginning of his freshman season. He improved to 25-0 this season, with 23 pins. Kerkvliet was only the second wrestler to go the distance against Steveson this year; the other was Keaton Kluever of Kaukauna, Wisconsin, at the Cheesehead Invitational last month. Kerkvliet grabbed one of his opponent’s legs in the first period and a buzz went through the crowd of approximately 2,000 at Simley High School in an-

ticipation of a rare takedown against Steveson. But he kept his balance and pulled away. Steveson started the second period in the down position but Kerkvliet allowed him to regain his feet, giving Steveson a 1-0 lead. Steveson returned the favor at the start of the third. The Apple Valley wrestler appeared to score the first takedown of the match near the boundary in the third period, but officials ruled he had gone out of bounds. Seconds after the wrestlers were brought back to the center of the match, Steveson got the match’s first and only takedown. “He was gassed second period, I saw it. But I didn’t react to it,” Steveson said. “I got the easy takedown (in the third). I should have kept getting more.” Asked about his star’s self-critique, Apple Valley coach Josh Barlage said “that’s Gable Steveson, that’s who he is. He wants to go out and pin everybody, tech fall and major everybody. He didn’t do that tonight so he’s a little frustrated, but hats off to (Kerkvliet). He took the challenge and moved up, and what a cool night for everybody who was here.” The two schools spent about a week promoting the Steveson-Kerlvliet matchup, and the fan and media interest suggests See WRESTLE, 18A

Rosemount hockey players could have more ice time City enters joint powers agreement with Inver Grove Heights by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount hockey families travel as far as Minneapolis and Fairbault for open time at ice rinks, but that could change soon. The Rosemount City Council approved a 10-year joint powers agreement with Inver Grove Heights that could lead to Rosemount assisting with repairs to the west rink at the Veterans Memorial Community Center in return for more ice time. With this proposal, Rosemount Area Hockey Association would get a total of 550 peak hours of ice time from Nov. 1-Feb. 28 annually. It includes both weeknight and weekend hours. In return, Rosemount would help pay for about 69 percent plus the interest of the costs in rink improvements. It would be no more than 90 percent of the total

costs, according to City Administrator Logan Martin. The 69 percent is based on a formula that RAHA would use the rink 69 percent of the time. According to city documents, the estimated cost of repair range from $860,000 to $1.1 million. It’s not a done deal. Rosemount can opt out if bids are too high, or if RAHA doesn’t agree to a joint powers agreement with the city, said Parks and Recreation Director Dan Schultz. The city is working on another joint powers agreement where RAHA would reimburse Rosemount for about one half of the city’s portion. RAHA currently rents about 200-225 hours at VMCC yearly. Council Member Shaun Nelson said he’s heard several concerns from hockey families who spend a lot of money and time traveling

to places such as Ridder Arena in Minneapolis and Shattuck-St. Mary’s Sports Complex and Ice Arena in Faribault. He said of the 780 skaters with RAHA, about twothirds travel outside the city limits for ice time. He voted in favor of the agreement. The money would go toward a new rink floor, supply header, electrical improvements, dasher board improvements, a new ice resurfacer and design fees along with contingency funds. The ice resurfacer, with a cost of about $145,000, would maximize the ice available to RAHA because it would take less time to resurface the ice. “It allows them to build in another 100 hours of prime ice time,� Schultz said. “That’s the reason for the ice resurfacer. There’s only one right now. Our push to them is that we’d

like to maximize our opportunity. They would be responsible for the maintenance.� RAHA would still pay an hourly fee to rent the ice. Schultz said the city would not be required to pay for any additional operating costs or capital improvements. “If further issues come up, the roof starts to leak, the scoreboard stops working, the dasher boards need repair, the benches fall over and need repair, the only thing we would need to pay for is in this joint powers agreement,� Schultz said. RAHA is in favor of moving forward, Schultz said. The city went to its residents for a parks and recreation referendum in 2016, which included a new indoor ice rink. It failed. Schultz said a new full sheet of ice would have cost about $8.7 million at

the time. It would now cost about $9.4 million due to inflation. The price tags don’t include the price of land. “With the failed referendum, the need for ice really hasn’t gone away,� Schultz said. Between the school district and RAHA, the Rosemount Ice Arena is at capacity. “We really have no other ways to provide them the ice that they need,� Schultz said. When the referendum failed, Rosemount’s Parks and Recreation staff was contacted by Inver Grove Heights about a possible partnership. “The city’s facility has two rinks, but both were in need of major repairs,� Schultz said. The east rink was updated in 2017, but the west rink is still in need of upgrades. If the joint powers agreement falls through, Schultz

said Inver Grove Heights might not put ice on the west rink. “Inver Grove Heights doesn’t have the same vibrancy (for hockey) as Rosemount,� Schultz said. He said the rink is covered with artificial turf except from November to February. “They might leave (the artificial turf there) year round,� Schultz said. “RAHA might lose it.� The 10-year agreement gives the city time to evaluate its future needs for an ice rink. Schultz said it would allow time to see if building a new arena in the future makes sense, or co-op with another community such as Farmington. If all goes as planned, the city would look at bids in May. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount band has plenty of pep County hosts Fix-It Clinics Photo submitted

The Rosemount High School marching band performed at the NFL Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center on the day of Super Bowl 52 during what was billed as a Tailgate Party. The Convention Center was crowded on Sunday with fans who saw the band play in front of the Lombardi Trophy. The performance was broadcast on television, and many of the attendees who congratulated the band members after the show said they were not surprised to learn they were from Rosemount.

Dakota County’s monthly Fix-It Clinics are bringing together residents and keeping valuable items out of the trash. In 2017, the county hosted 12 Fix-It Clinics. 43 volunteers gave their time, patience and knowledge to help 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. The county is hosting additional Fix-It Clinics in 2018. Upcoming clinics include: • Saturday, Feb. 17, noon to 3 p.m., Burnhaven Library, 1101 W. County Road 42, Burnsville.

• Saturday, March 17, noon to 3 p.m., Heritage Library, 20085 Heritage Drive, Lakeville. • Saturday, April 21, noon to 3 p.m., Farmington Library, 508 Third St., Farmington. Residents can bring up to five items that need fixing or mending. Common items brought to clinics are radios, vacuums and clothes. Repair-savvy volunteers will guide residents through each step, from troubleshooting to a completed repair. Fix-It Clinics help reduce unnecessary trash sent to landfills and empower individuals by teaching troubleshooting and repair skills.

2016 candidate Lindsey Port: ‘A price to pay’ Franken backlash a factor in her decision not to run again, Port says

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lindsey Port was on the sidelines of Tuesday night’s DFL Party caucus at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Savage. Instead of addressing Senate District 56 activists as a candidate, Port held up her phone to record others as they spoke. Two years ago she was a promising first-time candidate — a mother of two young children and business owner with a progressive, “working families”

agenda. The Burnsville resident tried to unseat incumbent Rep. Roz Peterson, RLakeville, in House District 56B. After garnering 47.5 percent of the vote in a losing effort in one of Minnesota’s battleground districts, Port was all in for another run in 2018. But on the second Monday in January Port came to a monthly party meeting, announced she was leaving the race and introduced a hand-picked successor, Alice Mann. “I was totally shocked.

I’d never seen it coming,” said Garry Moore, chair of Senate District 56 DFLers. Port sidelined herself but says she was also sidelined by circumstances — a candidate deemed by some would-be supporters and donors as “too controversial” after accusing a DFL legislator of sexual harassment during the 2016 campaign and after Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken, caught up in the #MeToo moment, subsequently announced his resignation in early December after being accused by several women

of improper conduct. “I think in my case it’s different than probably the general movement across the country,” Port said. “I think because I spoke out about sexual harassment, there was a price to pay.” Labeled by some an enabling factor in a popular senator’s downfall and fearing that sexual harassment would define — and obscure — her campaign, Port exited her rematch with Peterson in 56B, which includes southern and part of central Burnsville and part of northern Lakeville. “I fell in love with this district when I was working on (former DFL Rep.) Will Morgan’s campaign in 2014 and just really dove headlong into my race last year and loved being a candidate,” said Port, 35, who runs a political nonprofit, Blueprint Campaigns, and whose husband, Steve, runs Burnsville-based game company Legion Supplies. “I really enjoyed that experience and I will probably do it at some point again. But the reality is I fell in love with the voters of this district and their stories, and if I had continued to be the candidate the only story would be about sexual harassment and me, and that wasn’t fair to my district. I wanted them to have a candidate who could focus 100 percent on the needs of the district.” In early November, MinnPost reported accusations of sexual harassment from Port, Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and Rep. Jamie Becker Finn, DFL-Roseville. Port told MinnPost that Sen. Dan Schoen, DFLSt. Paul Park, grabbed her buttocks and made a crude remark at a party event in August 2015 when she was a first-time candidate. He was a representative at the time. Port also reported the incident to DFL Rep. Erin Murphy, then the House minority leader. Maye Quade alleged that Schoen sent improper text messages to her in 2015 after she announced her House campaign. Maye Quade also said she received sexually harassing texts from Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, af-

Port left the 2018 race in House District 56B last month. ter taking office. On Nov. 10, Maye Quade, Port and BeckerFinn called on the Legislature to create a sexual harassment task force establishing procedures to answer allegations from legislators, lobbyists, candidates and the public. Schoen and Cornish subsequently resigned. “It’s been over 75 days now since we called for that, and there’s no task force,” Port said. “Clearly, our job is not done. I will continue to work toward that and use whatever political power I have left to make that happen.” She and Maye Quade “both reported our harassment to the systems that be, and nothing happened when we did,” Port said. “That was more than two years ago. There’s a system in place, and it doesn’t work.” The #MeToo movement of women breaking their silence about sexual harassment by powerful men encouraged her and Maye Quade to do likewise, according to Port. “Erin and I had talked about it long before we went public, when and how we could do it without ending our political careers,” Port said. “It felt like there was a moment, and so we took it.” But Port was unprepared for the backlash to come. “At first, I realized my calls weren’t getting returned,” she said. “That started Erin and I both talking. She was having a hard time getting ahold of

donors who had supported her in the past as well. And we definitely started seeing change in the tenor of social media comments.” Port believes she became an easy target for some party activists, donors and past supporters upset that Franken stepped down, “even though our situations weren’t at all connected.” She recalled “some pretty aggressively nasty comments to the point where people were theorizing that Erin and I were paid by some shadowy figure to soften the ground up for Al Franken to be accused, which sort of blew my mind.” Her campaign and her nonprofit — which supports diverse, young and new candidates — suffered. “We lost $70,000 in pledges (to Blueprint Campaigns), and my campaign lost $6,000 in pledges and donations,” Port said. She was “too controversial,” some told her to her face or over the phone. But she hopes to remember this moment in history for more than personal backlash. “Almost every woman that I know has a #MeToo story,” Port said. “I think hopefully, it will help change the national dialogue as we talk about this. It’s very clearly not a few bad apples. It’s a pervasive culture that we have in our country, and until we talk about that, we’re never going to change it.” Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Military Appreciation Dinner served 100 at AV Legion The Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network held its 22nd monthly Military Appreciation Dinner Thursday, Jan. 18, at Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Network president Paul Chellsen reported that the free dinner for veterans, active military and their families was successful with 100 attending. Guest speaker was Ken Haglind, president of Minnesota Hospice in Lakeville. He talked about the medical practice specializing in guiding patients and families in end-of-life care. The organization was founded by local Minnesota physicians over 10

years ago with a mission of creating the gold standard in such care. Minnesota Hospice is a member of the “We Honor Veterans” program. On Thursday, Feb. 22, members of the network will appear before the Apple Valley City Council to report on their achievements over the past year. This is an annual event for the network. Mayor Mary Hamman-Roland and the City Council have been very supportive of the work of the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network. Chellsen reminded everyone that the Apple Valley network was started in March 2012. At its March 15 Military Appreciation

Dinner, it will celebrate its sixth anniversary. Special invited guest is Annette Kuyper, director of Military Affairs, State of Minnesota. Kuyper, from Farmington, has been instrumental in starting and providing direction to over 200 Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Networks. The next Military Appreciation Dinner will be held Feb. 15 at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Doors open a little after 5 p.m. with dinner at 5:30. Chellsen suggests everyone get their reservations in early so they can attend the dinner. To register, call 952923-5014 or email yellowribbonav@gmail.com.

One Book, One Lakeville Free tickets to the 10th anniversary celebration of One Book, One Lakeville featuring “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann are now available. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles,

built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. In “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood and the evidence that revealed a series of sinister secrets and reversals. The One Book, One Lakeville celebration is 7-9 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. For tickets, go to https://webtrac.lakevillemn.gov.

Floor plans, 3-D renderings and concept images will be available to view, and Dakota County staff and consultants will answer questions. The open house will be 5-7 p.m. at the library, 1490 S. Frontage Road, Hastings. Dakota County has selected Minneapolisbased Kodet Architectural Group as the designer for the Pleasant Hill Library renovation. Design meetings began in early January 2018.

The renovated library will feature amenities that include a larger community meeting room, an iLAB, conference room, a family restroom, a larger dedicated space for teenagers and more.

its Meet The Author series Thursday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m. at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. Krogman is the author of “Stuff of Nightmares,” which is based on the fact that unidentified human remains add up to some 4,400 new cases every year in the U.S. When the manner of death is determined a homicide, bringing the case to a successful resolution and the murderer to justice is nearly impossible. In most cases when identity can be established, life segments begin to congeal, possible suspects are established and through the process of elimination a prime suspect emerges. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. But in the case of this book, sometimes it doesn’t. As investigators build their case in the book, there are times when the simplest of requests are the hardest to fulfill, the best of intentions leading to the worst of conclusions. At times like this investigators can find themselves out there edging their way across a highwire and working without a net. Krogman lives in a suburb of St. Paul with his wife of 44 years. They have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Thisweekend Contest to name zoo’s new tapir calf Shannon Park students honored The Minnesota Zoo held the public debut of the 1 month-old endangered Malayan tapir calf on Tuesday. The soonto-be-named female was born on Jan. 6. Zoo guests will be able to see the calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. To help celebrate this milestone, the zoo will be launching a public naming contest for the new female calf. The general public will be able to submit their name suggestions on mnzoo.org through Feb. 11. Zookeepers will select the top three names and the public will have the chance to vote for their favorite, Feb. 13-15. The tapir calf’s official name will be announced on Feb. 16, prior to the zoo’s annual Tropical Beach Party. “We are very excited to finally introduce the public to our newest tapir calf,� says Tropics Trail curator, Tom Ness. “It has been fun to watch her and mom bond behind the scenes this past month. She definitely has her own personality and it will be interesting to see all of the name suggestions from our guests.� The new calf is one of 37 tapirs currently in North American zoos. Born at 16 pounds, she has been rapidly growing behind the scenes with mom and currently weighs approximately 44 pounds. Because she will only be viewable in the public tapir habitat for limited periods of time, she can be seen via the zoo’s social media channels and a special webcam. The Malayan tapir’s gestation period varies from 390-419 days. Moth-

Minnesota Zoo guests will be able to see the new Malayan tapir calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. ers usually give birth every two to four years to a single calf (twins are rare). At birth, a calf weighs approximately 10-20 pounds. For the first 6-8 months of their life, tapir calves resemble furry watermelons with legs. They are dark brown to black with alternating bands of yellowishwhite stripes and spots. Young tapirs grow quickly and can weigh as much as 450 pounds at one year of age; they reach adult size in 2-3 years. Malayan tapirs are one of the most endangered animals in Southeast Asia; there are fewer tapirs than tigers in the wild. Their population is declining due to road mortality, habitat loss from deforestation for agricultural

purposes, flooding caused by dam building for hydroelectric projects, and illegal trade. People can help wild tapirs by shopping smart for sustainable palm oil. In human care, Malayan tapirs are managed for breeding purposes by a Species Survival Plan, which, through the coordinated efforts of several zoos throughout North America, helps maintain a backup gene pool for the future aid of the wild population. The zoo currently participates in many SSP programs, including the Malayan tapir. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org.

18A Feb. 9, 2018 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

WRESTLE, from 10A the effort succeeded. Last summer, Steveson won the Junior World heavyweight championship – his third world title overall – and Kerkvliet won that weight class at the Cadet Worlds. Steveson has won three Minnesota Class 3A individual championships and Kerkvliet was Class 2A champion at 195 in 2017. Steveson has signed to wrestle at the University of Minnesota. Kerkvliet, who is a junior, verbally committed to Minnesota but has changed to Oklahoma State. Kerkvliet, who is ranked first or second in the nation at 220 depending on whose rankings you’re viewing, spotted Steveson about 40 pounds in Friday’s match. That caused lineup issues for Simley, which didn’t have anybody else who could make weight at 220 after Kerkvliet moved up to 285 to wrestle Steveson. Simley had to forfeit at 220, and the six team points NORDIC, from 10A

clinched the dual for Apple Valley. Steveson and Kerkvliet have wrestled in training camps, but never before in an actual match. Friday was “a different game, in front of a real crowd,� Steveson said. “He brought his A game. I’m just happy we got to wrestle.� In addition to the Steveson-Kerkvliet match, Friday’s dual featured two programs with 36 state championships combined.

The match was tied 2-2 in the third period before Gliva went on a run of points that avenged a loss to Swiggum at the Minnesota Christmas Tournament in December.

Gus Schatzlein of Prior Lake won the boys pursuit race in 26:45, with Eastview senior Bryant Ruff second in 27:42. Eagan was third, Eastview fifth, Lakeville North eighth, Lakeville South ninth and Rosemount 10th in the boys team standings. Apple Valley did not have a section entrant.

are in the right place and their conditioning is where it needs to be. We’re getting close in all those areas. “This is a hungry team, and a hungry team is a dangerous team.� Steveson said he’s still

hungry after a match that didn’t meet his lofty expectations. “No excuses. Three to two, and I’m back to work,� he said. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.
