Ted Siefkes will be getting an inside look at the wonders of space exploration when he travels to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston next month. As part of a team of five Minnesota educators, the Scott Highlands Middle School science teacher will be heading to the space center April 9-14 to test a student-derived experiment in a simulated microgravity environment. The team of teachers — which includes three teachers from St. Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, and one teacher from Photo submitted Mankato East High School — is Ted Siefkes (far left), a sixth-grade science teacher at Scott Highlands one of 12 teams from across the Middle School in Apple Valley, is part of a team of five Minnesota country that will be participating educators headed to NASA’s Johnson Space Center to test student- in the experiments as part of the Microgravity University for Eduderived experiments in a simulated microgravity environment.

cators professional development program. Siefkes was offered a role on the team by longtime friend Mark Westlake, a physics teacher at St. Thomas Academy who is leading about 42 students at the high school in designing a “satellite launching experimental device,” or SLED, for the tests. The SLED experiments, Siefkes said, will be staged inside a NASA facility that also houses actual mockup simulations for the International Space Station. While students from St. Thomas are taking the lead in designing the satellite launching device, Scott Highlands students are also involved in the process. Siefkes is working with a group of about 10 eighth-graders involved in the school’s science clubs, investigating ways to optimize design. “The idea is to share ideas, take the best ideas and the best design, and that’s what we ship to NASA,” he said.

When achievement gap talk surfaces, it’s often referenced in big data. Testing gaps between white and minority students and those based on a student’s household’s income are often viewed at the state, district and school level. But Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science Principal Scott

Thomas, who served as RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District’s integration and educational equity coordinator for seven years, sees the achievement gap close one data point at a time. District 196 school principals and teachers have a whole host of assessment data available them that can pinpoint a student’s academic challenge down to individual letters in the English language. They use this data to design in-class and out-of-classroom interventions for students to overcome their challenges, whether it is writing a letter correctly, knowing how to spell a word or comprehending a literary work.

City’s moose damaged in apparent vandalism by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville’s newest community art project, a colorful fiberglass moose created last fall, was found by city staff apparently vandalized early Monday morning. A city staff member noticed the moose lying on its side in Pioneer Plaza in downtown Lakeville on March 6 and notified Lakeville Parks Superintendent Mark Kruse around 7:40 a.m. Several ankles on the moose were broken and part of an antler was chipped. Lakeville Police Lt. Jason Polinski said they are looking into reports of several people and a maroon Chevrolet Suburban in the area, which Polinski said is a possible suspect vehicle. Kruse said the moose is being stored until repairs can be made. “In my opinion, it looks

intentional,� Kruse said. “It looks like vandalism.� The $2,500 moose was donated by the nonprofit fundraising organization Friends of the Lakeville Area Arts Center as part of last year’s Lakeville Art Festival community art project. District 194 School Board Member Bob Erickson serves on the LAAC Friends committee. He said the members are likely to add security lighting to the display when the moose is repaired and replaced in its downtown location. He said he believes the damage may have been the unintended result of people climbing on the moose. “We were very saddened by the news,� Erickson said. “It was the first community art project that we displayed offsite (of the Arts Center grounds).� Many young people contributed to the project by painting portions of

the moose at the Lakeville Arts Festival last year. Erickson said many people who helped paint the moose have contacted him and expressed concern. “I know they’re feeling disappointed, but they’re just looking forward to the moose recovering from the injuries and being replaced in the plaza,� Erickson said. Kruse said he was saddened by what happened, stating that a lot of work went into creating the moose, and it represented the unity of the city. “Lakeville’s a great place to live,� Kruse said. “We’ve got wonderful amenities and great people that live here, and to have this happen to a symbol like this, it’s just sad.� Anyone with information can contact the Lakeville police at 952Photo submitted 469-2800.

Numbers are their forte Falcon Ridge students place first in Math Masters by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Numbers were flying through the minds of a crew of Falcon Ridge Middle School students during Saturday’s Math Masters competition, but one was the coolest number of the day. One as in No. 1, first, singular, without peer. Five students combined in a variety of math challenges to help Falcon Ridge place first in the 34team tournament at Capital Hill Magnet School in St. Paul, and one team member placed first overall. Coach Michelle Pollei said the students were very excited after the victory. “Everyone felt as though they had won and

helped contribute,� Pollei said. “They were very proud of each other and their peer’s individual accomplishments.� Team members are Nathan Elango, Dillon Steeves, Sophia Wang, Damian Xu and Charlie Youtt. Elango won first in the individual competition when he answered 29 of 32 challenging problems correctly. Wang and Xu placed 10th and 17th, respectively, in the challenge. Elango also placed 17th in Fact Drill, while Youtt and Wang placed seventh and 12th, respectively. Youtt scored 67 of 75 in the challenge that has students answering the computation questions in five minutes. Falcon Ridge’s other

team of Mitchel Donais, Mia Moreno Abrego, Anna Singh, Samuel Streeter and Kristine Joseph placed 16th at the meet. Scott Highlands had three teams at the meet. The school’s Black team placed seventh while its Red and White teams did not earn a placing score. Black team members are Nicholas Adelmann, Srish Kattegummula, Josh Neuenschwander, Charlie Ortman and Andrew Seppelt, who placed 14th in the individual competition. The Red team includes Amy (Ze Ql Yun) Chen, Josephine Nuttling, Julia Toledo, Abhiram Valasapalli and Jash Parekh, who placed fifth in Fast Facts.

New principal named at Deerwood Jeremy Sorenson will be the next principal at Deerwood Elementary School in Eagan after the principal at Sunnyside Elementary School in Red Wing since 2014 was selected by the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District. Sorenson will replace current Deerwood Principal Miles Haugen, who in November was hired to become principal of District 196’s new East Lake Elementary School that is scheduled to open this fall. Sorenson will officially take over as principal at Deerwood on July 1. “It is rewarding to be returning to District 196,� said Sorenson, who was a special education teacher at Apple Valley High School between 2006 and 2010. “I am excited to join the Deerwood team and eager to meet the students, staff

and families that make Deerwood such a wonderful school from what I have learned.� Prior to becoming a principal in Red Wing, Sorenson worked for Minneapolis Public Schools from 2012 to 2014, first as a school improvement specialist and then as an elementary school assistant principal. In addition to teaching at Apple Valley High, he also taught special education for the South Washington County Schools and Hastings Public Schools. Sorenson has a Bachelor of Science degree in special education from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, earned his master’s degree in educational leadership from Concordia University, and received his principal and superintendent licensure from Hamline University.

Falcon Ridge Middle School team members are Nathan Elango, Dillon Steeves, Sophia Wang, Damian Xu, Charlie Youtt, Mitchel Donais, Mia Moreno Abrego, Anna Singh, Samuel Streeter and Kristine Joseph. White team members are Shruti Chandrasekar, Ethan Lee, Neha Ravella, Tannen Ries and Lisette Thurman. There were a total of 156 participants in the event, which includes individual and team rounds when students must work together to solve the problems. To participate in Math Masters, Falcon Ridge sixth-graders earned a spot on the team after taking a placement test in their after-school Math Club that started meeting in November with more than 30 members. The team members have

been practicing during the school day on Mondays during a 25-minute session each week, in addition to other time outside of that. Practice time is spent on computation, order of operations, probability, data and statistics, geometry, and algebraic problem solving. Pollei said the skill level of each student varies as some take the mainstream sixth-grade math class while others are in Algebra. Pollei said it’s great for students to do math with others who love being challenged outside of school math classes.

She said they are learning to work together as a team as they feed their interest in math with more complex questions in a competition setting. “There is a sense of accomplishment regardless of outcome,� Pollei said. Math Masters is an Austin, Minn.-based organization that plans competitions throughout the state for sixth- and fifthgraders. More about the organization is at mathmastersmn.org.

Opinion Local events aim to end human trafficking by Keith Lokkesmoe SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sex trafficking is none other than the business of selling and buying women, girls and boys to be sexually used and abused by men. It is not just a problem occurring overseas or in inner cities. It is happening in every city and every suburb in the Twin Cities and many towns across Minnesota. This menace has the potential to rob our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, friends, and grandchildren of not only their innocence, but their future. When people think of sex trafficking, they usually think of the victims — the survivors. But sex trafficking would not occur if men were not purchasing sex. In order to stop the exploitation of trafficking, we must reduce the demand. What is behind this demand? It starts with what people see. Scantily clad women are used to sell products on television. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is sold to men by women selling their air-brushed bodies as symbols of value. Sitcoms and movies joke about bachelor parties with “hookers” as being normal. College football team members sexually use and abuse a woman and believe their actions are justified. One step deeper in driving demand lies the Commercial Sex Industry. This conglomeration of pornography sites, adult entertainment businesses, escort services, and strip clubs is a multi-billiondollar industry. Men and boys who’ve seen scantily clad women in Sports Illustrated or nudity in a mainstream movie now want something more. So, they begin searching their laptops and smartphones for porn sites that will give them

Guest Columnist

Keith Lokkesmoe the graphic stuff — movies, pictures, chat sites — which inflame their desire and twist their minds into thinking that women like this stuff. Finally, for many, simply watching is not enough anymore. They need an actual encounter with a woman. So, they venture into strip clubs, sex clubs, and ultimately search for “escort” websites. Hundreds of ads appear each week on these sites, and each new ad has men calling within three minutes of posting. The vast majority of women being prostituted today have been sexually abused as a child; 99.9% of them are completely controlled and abused by their pimps. They are not free women working in dignity. They are daily assaulted by men thinking that they have every right to use and abuse these women as they see fit. If we want to stop sex trafficking, we need to reduce the frequency at which men pick up the phone or click on their computer to order sex. What to do? Here are six areas we can focus on: 1. Expose pornography as a public health issue. In April 2016, Utah became the first state to declare pornography as a public health issue. All states should follow suit. Dr. Mary Anne Layden, director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program Center at the University of Pennsylvania, has researched the violent nature of today’s pornogra-

phy and concludes that the use of pornography leads to more acceptance of violence against women, creating more sexually violent fantasies to get aroused, engaging in more sexual harassment behaviors, and a greater likelihood to use physical coercion to have sex. 2. Expose strip clubs as harbors of abuse and forerunners of prostitution. We have many first-hand reports of the daily abuse occurring in these establishments. 3. Protect young people from internet and mall traffickers. Predators have developed sophisticated strategies for convincing young girls to meet with them, such as posing as a teenage boy. They also obtain nude pictures from teens and use these to blackmail and exploit. Sex traffickers also routinely work at shopping malls, coffee shops — anywhere that teenage girls frequent. We need to educate teens on these methods. 4. Change the laws to make hard core pornography illegal. There are national obscenity laws against pornography. There have been some challenges to enforcement of obscenity laws based on First Amendment concerns. However, prosecutors today, in light of the dire harm being caused by pornography and its link to trafficking, would do well to take up this issue with renewed vigor. 5. Increase the penalties for persons who buy or sell people. Minnesota is a national leader in terms of passing and funding Safe Harbor legislation, which has been expanded upon to now provide services for women or men being prostituted until age 24. We need to ensure that new legislation increases the penalties for both buyers and traffickers to

felony level status. 6. Confront the mindset that women are sex objects and men are helpless to control themselves. Rape culture asks the woman first what she did to encourage the man. It assumes that the women’s answer to sexual advances is yes — unless there is clear and convincing evidence otherwise. It absolves men of responsibility and casts them as unable to control their desires. We can do better than this. This is a dark and complex problem. But it is not unsolvable. Only if the American public remains ignorant, will the traffickers stay in business. Once the majority of Americans are made aware of this menace, that it stalks their very own daughters and sons and brothers and sisters and grandchildren, we can all rise up and begin to stop this plague in our midst. Please join us in this battle. Trafficking Justice will have its Freedom Weekend March 17-19, which will provide specific information on this problem and what people can do about it. The weekend is a collection of seven different events at multiple locations in the Twin Cities. There will be international, national, and local speakers who are working at the front lines of the battle against sex trafficking today. All events are free. Go to www.traffickingjustice.com/Freedom-Weekend.html for all of the details. Keith Lokkesmoe, of Lakeville, is the executive director of Trafficking Justice — a group in the Minneapolis area comprised of churches, faith-based organizations, and individuals who have come together to fight for freedom from “modern-day slavery” known as human trafficking.

Ban cellphone use behind the wheel of a vehicle by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There is a bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives to ban drivers from talking on a cellphone, unless it is a hands-free device. The bill should be passed to protect our safety as we drive on Minnesota roadways. Last session legislators increased the fine for a second offense of texting while driving, which is against the law. Banning talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving should be their next step – a step that 14 states have taken, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, distracted driving annually causes about 70 deaths and 350

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman serious injuries, and 1 in 4 traffic crashes are caused by distracted driving. The National Safety Council is working to ban driving while on the phone. It says that cellphone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Minnesotans for Safe Driving notes how talking on the phone and driving causes accidents. It says most studies show that drivers on cellphones are twice as likely to miss traffic signals. Their re-

action time is slower to the signals they do detect and their risk of causing a crash increases by 400 percent. Some legislators are reluctant to pass this bill, according to observers, saying it’s too soon and there’s not enough public support for it. Judging from recent comments at the state Capitol, I think support to pass the legislation could be growing. There’s work to be done to change attitudes about traffic safety. The National Safety Council said in a February report that while 83 percent of drivers surveyed said they are concerned about safety, 64 percent say they are comfortable speeding. An amazing 47 percent said they are comfortable texting either manually or through voice controls. Rep. Mark Uglem, R-Champlin, and

Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, are co-authors of the bill to ban using a phone while driving unless it’s a handsfree phone. The fine for the first offense would be $50 and $225 for the second. Hornstein was unsuccessful in passing a bill in 2011 that would have stopped drivers from using their phones. Now he says a similar bill has bipartisan support. Contact your legislators and tell them to pass this ban-the-phone-while-driving bill to stop drivers who would rather talk on their phones than look out for others’ safety.

Letters Lewis should have some courage To the editor: Recently it was reported that our U.S. representative, Jason Lewis, would not be conducting any town hall meetings because as he intimated that, “it was not worth it.” I would remind Lewis that it is his job to listen to and connect with his constituents. To ignore us is to make a comment about how he sees us and our views. For years he had no problem sharing his views with us on the radio and television, but now it is time for him to listen to us. I would further point him to the comments of one Gabbie Giffords about the importance of town halls. Giffords was shot during a town hall meeting in Arizona. She spoke out recently about the importance of listening

and serving the residents of one’s district when she said, “I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning, my offices were open to the public. Ron Barber — who was at my side that Saturday, who was shot multiple times, then elected to Congress in my stead — held town halls. It’s what the people deserve in a representative.” Giffords went on to explain, “To the politicians who have abandoned their civic obligations, I say this: Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls.” So to Lewis, I say. Do your job. Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls.

tions. I’m looking forward to hearing about plans for the gathering. Thursday, Feb. 23, U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-6th District, St. Cloud, Brooklyn Park, Stillwater, etc.) held a town hall in Sartell covering immigration and several other topics. At a meeting at his office the next day, Emmer met with members of Results, a Twin Cities volunteer group working to reduce hunger and poverty in the U.S. and abroad. Emmer heard concerns about retaining current levels of funding for programs to reduce hunger in unemployed, underemployed and/ or low-income households. These concerns include food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, designed to combat hunger during times of greatest need like in a recession, and to decline when the need is least, like during economic recovery. Emmer agreed with the objective of reducing poverty, and says he’ll continue working on the goal. He also heard proposals to include low-income single, childless adults in eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit, from which they are now excluded, and said he’s open to hearing more about that possibility. Challenges of poverty

extend beyond inner-city limits, and many suburbs have folks trying to support a household on minimum wage. Members of Congress may not often hear from constituents whose geography says they should be living the American dream. I look forward to communicating with government officials and businesses in assisting hungry people to realize that dream. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

Fifth column: noun To the editor: Fifth column: noun — A group of people who act traitorously and subversively out of a secret sympathy with an enemy of their country. This is what they call the fifth column. It has become clear that what is happening, in response to the election of President Donald Trump that we have a virulent response funded in large part by a billionaire with deep pockets and an unremitting hate for America and its working class. His dirty work is done by the likes of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and assorted ilk. Yes, George Soros for some reason wants to de-

stroy all of that which the Founding Fathers in their Constitution has passed on to generations of Americans. Soros’s money and evil are on display each time we see “protestations” and violence whether burning and smashing property and other acts of violence. The recent University of California Berkeley, Oakland, California, and Portland, Oregon, protests where some arrests were made has been linked to Soros’ and his henchmen. Why is it that, police in attendance, these criminals commit these acts of violence without being stopped? We, the “deplorables” seem to have no rights and are completely at the mercy of anarchists. Let’s demand that the police use force to counteract the unrelenting violence perpetrated those who go on the assumption that they are privileged and entitled to commit acts of violence to the law abiding citizens without fear of serious consequences. We are a nation of laws. Why is it that millions of people have been breaking this country’s laws by illegally (invading) this country and being told by irresponsible government sources that it is OK to flaunt our laws.

LETTERS, from 4A in the past and future has by definition become a secondclass citizen. A country that has no sovereignty is a country without laws and subject to take over by enemy entities. We, the USA, have surreptitiously enabled this type of thinking followed by implementation by past government edict. Look up the definition of fifth column, you will see all the elements of this insidious activity. HENRY JANDEWERTH Eagan

Is it that cavalier attitude of “everyone needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?� That works if everyone has boots. It doesn’t work if all you’ve had is flip flops. Our country does not do a good job of taking care of its people, especially our women and children. The U.S. ranks 31st on the Mother’s Index as compared to Finland which ranks first. The U.S. ranks 26th on overall child wellbeing as compared to Finland which ranks fourth. Finland provides a strong social and economic foundation for their children. The United States does not. We prioritize military, corporations and the wealthy over our future – our children. The greatest measure of a country’s humanity is how it takes care of its most vulnerable – children, those who live in poverty and those

who are oppressed. This is often reflected in our budgets, budgets that most recently prioritize military, corporations and the wealthy. MAURE ANN METZGER Burnsville

Replacement is smoke and mirrors To the editor: U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis said he would get rid of Obamacare. Well, so far, no good. The latest proposal to “repeal and replace� the Affordable Care Act has yielded nothing but smoke and mirrors. Lewis supports Speaker Paul Ryan’s “advanceable refundable tax credits� plan which shifts more of a tax burden onto the elderly and the poor, while enriching the profits of the mighty insurance corporations. Lewis has failed in his campaign promise to dump Obamacare. But fear not, he still has a few more months remaining in his term of office to support more smoke and mirrors Obamacare replacements.

Volunteers from the Vermillion Riverkeepers, a nonprofit Minnesota Trout Unlimited conservation group, worked with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources on March 4 to remove almost 2 acres of invasive, non-native buckthorn brush from the South Branch of the Vermillion River State Aquatic Management Area, east of Farmington. To help raise money for its stream restoration work, and watershed education programs in local schools, Minnesota Trout Unlimited is sponsoring the Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo March 17-19 at Hamline University in St. Paul. More than three dozen presentations on fly fishing are included in the ticket price, plus fly casting lessons on Hamline University’s pool. There is also a separate Fly Fishing Film and Video Showcase event on March 18. For more information about the Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo, visit www.greatwatersflyexpo.com. Right now there are 7,000 little trout swimming in 17 Minnesota classrooms, as part of Minnesota Trout Unlimited’s watershed education program, which includes Lakeville South High School. The students raised their fish from eggs in special coldwater aquariums. The students study fish biology and water chemistry, and take field trips to learn about streams and how land use affects water quality. Minnesota Trout Unlimited’s education program is designed to help students connect with watersheds through handson learning. The program is supported by a grant from the state of Minnesota’s Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and is supported with the help of many local volunteers and community donations. In May, students from Lakeville South and the other metro schools will release their rainbow trout in the Vermillion River in Farmington. Learn more about supporting the watershed education program, volunteering on stream restoration projects, and learning about fly fishing at www.mntu. org.

Downtown Lakeville streetscape project moves forward Cost estimated at $2.3 million by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After years of planning, Lakeville’s downtown redesign project is moving forward after a Lakeville City Council vote March 6. Estimated to cost $2.3 million according to a Feb. 6 feasibility study, the project is expected to start this July, after Pan-O-Prog, and be completed by September, before the Arts Festival. What started as a typical street mill and overlay with utility improvements along the 1.39mile stretch on Hoyloke Avenue from Heritage Drive to County Road 70 became a joint plan between business and city officials for a complete transformation of the city’s core downtown. Improvements are proposed to include decorative sidewalk details, landscaped gateway signs, planter benches, matching light posts and tree replacements. Multiple gateway signs are intended to beautify and highlight the city’s historic downtown, where sidewalks will undergo complete replacement, new tree grates and trees are proposed to

be planted, acorn lighting fixtures will be uniform with safety lighting at key intersections and movable planters will help beautify downtown. On the project’s north end, City Hall will feature a brick electronic message sign at the northwest corner of 202nd Street and County Road 50 emblazoned with the Lakeville logo. The sign is intended to better identify Lakeville City Hall and communicate important community events. Across from City Hall on County Road 50, a large lighted brick gateway sign will be located to welcome visitors toward Lakeville’s historic business district. The project is the result of years of discussions between the city, residents and representatives of the Downtown Lakeville Business Association. Project consultant and engineer Monica Heil said the DLBA subcommittee wants to move forward with the project as proposed but hold several meetings to discuss ongoing design options prior to bidding the project. “Over the next couple of months, we’ll be working with members of the DLBA subcommittee to further refine the

specific improvements that will be located downtown prior to bidding the project for construction,� Heil said. “That would include some discussions regarding the signage improvements.� She said more discussions will occur with the City Council prior to letting it out for bid. Under the plan, a northbound left-turn lane is proposed at 210th Street West, and two gateway signs made of brick and metal railing are proposed on Holyoke Avenue at the southwest corner of 207th Street and at the northeast corner of 210th Street to also identify the business core area. Two simple, reflective wayfinding signs are proposed to be located on County Road 70. Costs for downtown sidewalk improvements will be borne by taxpayer funds and assessments to business properties only. Some business properties and taxpayer-owned properties are expected to pay tens of thousands in assessments, according to the feasibility study. Taxpayer-owned properties include Lakeville City Hall, downtown open space, the Lakeville Area Arts Center, senior housing and McGuire Middle School. Together, the study found public properties

are estimated to be assessed over $167,400 for the improvements. Per city policy, Lakeville is funding 60 percent of the project. Combined with other taxpayer-funded sources, over $1.9 million of the project will be funded using public dollars. Metro Equity, the downtown’s largest private business property owner and one of the project’s major cheerleaders, is estimated to be assessed a total of $117,276 for the project costs, according to the feasibility report. Mark Hotzler, Metro Equity’s founder, is also expected to be assessed about $8,051 for Dairy Delite, a small walk-up diner with outdoor seating that was renovated into a 1950s style by former owner Paul Krause, a former Dakota County commissioner and Minnesota Vikings football player who is in the Hall of Fame. At the request of cost-conscious residential property owners at the north of Holyoke Avenue, decorative sidewalk details will not extend to their properties, but sunken or heaving walks will be spot replaced. A proposal to add sidewalk to the east side of Holyoke Avenue in the residential portion of the street was also rejected by the majority of homeowners

and will not be part of the project. Single-family residences north of 210th Street are estimated to be assessed $1,948 and single-family residences south of 210th Street are to be assessed about $1,053, according to the feasibility study. Bids are expected to be received by June and an assessment hearing is set for July 17, when the City Council is expected to award a construction contract. Council Member Colleen LaBeau said several business owners who lease or own properties downtown have cited concerns regarding initial and ongoing costs of the amenities proposed. City Administrator Justin Miller said the council’s action gave the city authorization to complete the design on the project that will help better identify exact costs. He said the community will have more opportunity for input. “If costs do come in considerably higher than what we were expecting, there will be options on how we might be able to bring those costs back down,� Miller said.

Chick-fil-A restaurant could be coming to Eagan next year by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Chick-fil-A has plans to start serving up some chicken in Eagan soon. A new 5,000-squarefoot restaurant complete with 135 seats, a 16-seat outdoor patio and drivethrough is planned for Eagan Promenade shopping center. It’s last the lot to be redeveloped within the CityVue Commons south of Yankee Doodle Road next to CityVue Apartments. It’s still in the planning stages, but during Tuesday’s Eagan City Council meeting, the applicant said Chick-fil-A could open in

early 2018.. There were a few questions on the number of signs on the restaurant and traffic flow between neighboring businesses, but a planned development amendment was approved 5-0 by the Eagan City Council Tuesday. It will be the first Chick-fil-A in Eagan. Other nearby restaurants include Apple Valley, West St. Paul, Bloomington and Burnsville. Justin Lurk, a developer with Chick-fil-A, touted the business’s community service efforts, charities and scholarships during the Advisory Planning Commission meeting last month. He also touted its

business model where one operator is in charge of one franchise. “It really forces and encourages the operator to be in the store all day — to be in the community and live in the community,� Lurk said. “It’s been a successful business model to date.� The layout of the parking lot and restaurant will also minimize conflict between pedestrians and eatin traffic with those using the drive-through. There was a plan approved in 2014 to bring a Chick-fil-A to Eagan, but the plans fell through according to Lurk, and he was happy to be back with another plan.

Hotel plans The city also approved plans for an 86-room, four-story Comfort Suites Hotel at 1335 Corporate Center Curve, southeast of the Pilot Knob exit off Interstate 494. It’s the final 2.24 acres remaining on a longvacant parcel of land established for office uses in 1985 as part the Eagan Dale Office Center. The Eagan City Council amended the use for the property from office to hotel during Tuesday’s meeting. It was approved without any discussion. During the Advisory Planning Commission meeting last month, the hotel’s future neighbors

expressed concern about parking and the increased traffic. Tom Goodrum, planner for Westwood Professional Services representing the applicant, said the number of parking spaces needed compared to a typical office building is significantly less.

The hotel on average will have about a 70 percent occupancy rate based on market studies, he said. The hotel chose the spot because of the convenient access to both highways to serve both the local business/office needs and the drive-through travelers.

As spring break inches closer, a sunny vacation becomes all the more attractive. Many people are eager to trade chilly temperatures for sunshine and the relaxing sound of waves crashing against the shore. Spring break usually means a week of fun and sun; however, Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota warns people to plan ahead to avoid scams and common vacation pitfalls. “Con artists know that students are eager to make arrangements to book a getaway,� said Susan Adams Loyd, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “They can and do use that enthusiasm to their advantage.� Scammers commonly target students looking to find great deals online by offering enticing vacation packages at unrealistically low prices. That’s why it’s important to do your research first. If you haven’t planned a vacation before, BBB (bbb.org) is a great

resource for finding travel agencies that are reputable and dependable. Here are some additional tips from your BBB to help ensure a worry-free vacation: • Plan ahead. The early bird gets the worm. Allow yourself the time to research hotels, flights, and area where you’re staying. Typically, the earlier the reservations are made, the better the deals you will find and the lower the risk of your favorite destination being booked solid. Making reservations in advance also locks in rates and prevents you from paying higher prices later during prime spring break season. • Avoid broad internet searches. Try to avoid entering phrases like “best dealsâ€? into whichever search engine you use. Broad search terms like that can sometimes lead you to websites that look official, but are designed solely to rip people off. • Be alert for travel scams. Watch out for phone calls or letters claiming that you’ve

“won a tripâ€? or websites offering prices that are too good to be true. It’s easy to extend questionable offers like these, but the vast majority of them leave hopeful travelers in limbo – and out money. • Do your homework. Ask family and friends to recommend a travel agent or travel website and visit bbb. org for free Business Profiles. If you’re using services like Airbnb or VRBO to find accommodations, be sure to research the business and read customer reviews about any rentals you’re considering. • Pay with a credit card. Paying with a credit card gives you additional protection if something should go wrong with the travel reservation. If you’re not a planner and decide to set off on a spring break vacation on a whim, there are still ways you can protect yourself. Share a copy of your itinerary with a family member or friend. Include the contact information of someone joining you on your trip.

Good for you, good for the environment Farm-fresh eggs at Brand Farms by Maren Bauer SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As people become more health-conscious and documentaries portray operations in the fast food and meat industries, people want to know more about the origins of their food. On the first episode of “Portlandia,� the comedic hipster show on IFC, they take this idea to the extreme as a couple aim to ensure their restaurant meal is ethical and humane. Netflix’s “Chef’s Table� features chefs from around the world committed to the idea of sustainable, ethical food. Locally, Aaron Brand of Brand Farms has tapped into this trend. “The demand comes from customers wanting to know where their food comes from and how its raised,� Brand said. “I hold no secrets and customers like that.� Brand has been in the business for over a decade; he started with only 50 chickens in 2005. He has worried about the farm’s location previously, but with constant demand that led to a new house and now 2,500 chickens, it

The project was then introduced to students, and culminates with the satellite-launching experiments in April. Siefkes’ role during the testing at Johnson Space Center will be to physically man the SLED on an air-bearing floor during the first phase of the experiment. “The air-bearing floor is kind of like an air-hockey table,� he said. “My job will be to be on the SLED and to launch it.�

One aim of Microgravity University for Educators is to give teachers a better understanding of NASA education resources, along with training on teaching strategies and supporting lessons for use in the classroom. It’s funded through the STEM Education Accountability Project, as part of NASA Education’s contribution to a national goal of preparing 100,000 new K-12 STEM teachers by 2020. Siefkes said he looks forward to incorporating what he learns through the project into his sixth-grade physical science classes next year, adding to what his students already learn

about forces of motion, gravity and Newton’s Law. The experiments at NASA are “presented as a competition, but NASA is telling us that this is really about the education experience — they are setting it up to be about learning.� During the experiments, Siefkes is planning to connect with his students in Apple Valley via FaceTime. The testing also will be shared through video conference by NASA Ustream, and the Minnesota-based team will be posting updates and photos at Facebook. com/NASAMgUE.

Trinity School at River Ridge headmaster appointed president Jon Balsbaugh, the head of school at Trinity School at River Ridge in Eagan and a 20-year veteran member of the faculty, will be the next president of Trinity Schools Inc. Balsbaugh follows Dr. Kerry Koller, who has filled the role of president since the founding of Trinity School in 1981 and will step down this summer. “I am confident that Mr. Balsbaugh’s vision, leadership, and experience will carry the mission of Trinity Schools forward into the future,� said Dr. Craig Lent, chair of the Trinity Schools board of trustees, which hired Balsbaugh after an extensive search. As president, Balsbaugh will be responsible for overseeing Trinity’s three campuses—in Eagan, South Bend, Indiana, and Falls Church, Virginia — as well as relationships with two member schools, in New Jersey and Oregon. His term of office lasts for six years and is renewable. Balsbaugh and his wife, Jen, also a teacher at River Ridge, have five children: Dietrich, 19

a model learner. His love of truth, goodness and beauty is revealed in his vast intellectual and aesthetic interests. He has the Trinity DNA.� Steve Hendrickson, a longtime math and science teacher, credits Balsbaugh with cultivating a vibrant culture of learning. “One of his notable decisions was to declare Free Learning Day,� Hendrickson said. “To the great surprise of our students, we announced the cancellation of regular classes, offering the students and faculty the chance to spend the day pursuing different interests — reading poetry together, learning Italian cooking, exploring the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, or studying special topics in mathematics. We expected it to go well, but the response from the students far exceeded our expectations.� Beth Schmitz, a math teacher and River Ridge alumna, points to Balsbaugh’s eloquence and clarity as a speaker, explaining Trinity’s vision to

(River Ridge ’16), Anna, 17, Emily, 15, Nora, 12, and Charis, 8. This summer the family will move to South Bend, where the headquarters of Trinity Schools Inc. is located. Balsbaugh’s replacement will be chosen this spring, Koller said. Balsbaugh grew up in Oregon and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from The Master’s College in Santa Clarita, California. He earned an Master of Arts at the University of St. Thomas, began teaching at River Ridge in 1997, and became the head of school in 2009. During his tenure, he established a Christian arts festival that has attracted nationally known speakers and artists. He also expanded the school’s offerings, adding a sixth grade. Koller said he was delighted by the choice. “Mr. Balsbaugh is a man of tremendous intellectual depth who has masterfully developed the community of learners at River Ridge,� Koller said. “He is one of our most gifted teachers, in part because he is also

students, faculty and parents alike. Balsbaugh’s 2015 opening address to the students, entitled “Ideas are Dangerous� gained a national audience after it was posted on the Internet and republished by the popular education blog Intellectual Takeout. “For more than 35 years, Trinity Schools have been faithful to the call of the Lord to provide students with an education rooted in the pursuit of truth, the practice of goodness and the creation of beauty,� Balsbaugh said. “Dr. Koller has provided visionary and courageous leadership that has kept us grounded in our mission. It is at once a great honor and a humbling prospect to follow him into the office of president. I am looking forward to getting to know the faculty, staff, students and alumni of each of our campuses better and to working closely with our Trinity member schools. The foundation laid by the People of Praise community during the founding of Trinity Schools, Dr. Koller’s steady

leadership, our dedicated and passionate faculty and, most importantly, a sense of calling from the Lord to engage in this work give me great confidence for the future of Trinity Schools.� Trinity School at River Ridge is currently enrolling in grades 6-12 for the 2017-18 school year. An open house for prospective families is scheduled for March 23.

Crystal Lake may leave Impaired Waters List Burnsville gives annual State of the Lakes report by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Crystal Lake, one of three Burnsville lakes on Minnesota’s Impaired Waters List, may be coming off in 2018. The 291-acre lake, which has a public beach and boat launch and many lakeshore homes, has for the last 10 years exceeded state standards for water clarity and phosphorus concentration, said Daryl Jacobson, the city’s water resources specialist. The lake’s level of chlorophyll-a is close to the state standard, he said. Failing two of those three measures gets a lake put on the impaired list; passing two of the three gets a lake delisted. The measurements are averaged over 10 years. The next list comes out in 2018. “I think it is very likely that it could be removed from the list,” PREACHING, from 1A

After high school he attended North Central University, a Minneapolis Christian college, and St. Paul Bible College in St. Bonifacius. He launched a career in children’s ministry, which included puppetry, clowning and theatrical work. Widely traveled, Post said he’s used to doing his own bookings and finding places to preach the word. “It’s very versatile, what I do,” said Post, who once was a partner in a Bloomington animation studio that served the children’s ministry market. “Now we’re looking at it in a different light because of my physical health, trying to figure out the best way to do this to be my best.” Since 1990, Post has served as family administrator for children and

Jacobson told the city’s Parks and Natural Resources Commission on Monday during his annual State of the Lakes report. “I think that’s some good news. There’s been a lot of work done in the Crystal Lake watershed over the last 15 years as well.” The state Pollution Control Agency notified the city in January the lake may be delisted, Jacobson said. About 40 percent of Minnesota’s lakes and streams are impaired by “conventional pollutants,” according to the MPCA. The other Burnsville lakes on the impaired list are Alimagnet and Keller, which share territory with Apple Valley. The 104-acre Lake Alimagnet experienced sharply rising levels of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a in the last three years, while its visual clarity fell from 0.9 meters in 2014 to 0.7 in 2016. “That’s the opposite of what we’re looking for,” Jacobson said. Aluminum sulfate treatments to reduce phosphorus are

In 2000, diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and myotonic dystrophy (a musclewasting disease), as well as a double hernia surgery from which he didn’t fully heal, began a cascading series of health setbacks. In 2008 he was diagnosed with Ogilvie syndrome, a colonic pseudoobstruction that causes severe distention of the abdomen and constipation. The disease, Post said, is killing the nerves and muscles in his intestines. “It’s dying all the way throughout, and there’s

planned this year in two ponds on the Burnsville side that drain most of the city’s stormwater that reaches the lake, Jacobson said. The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board landed a $216,000 state grant for the project and is adding $75,000 of its own funds, Jacobson said. Burnsville is kicking in $125,000, he said. The project will include an iron-enhanced filter bench for each pond. Iron filings will filter phosphorus after rainfalls, Jacobson said. Altogether, officials hope to remove 26 pounds of phosphorus annually from the Burnsville side of the lake, he said. Last year the two cities stocked Alimagnet with 2,000 largemouth bass — predators intended to reduce the glut of growth-stunted sunfish that feed at the lake bottom and stir up phosphorus, Jacobson said. In the 53-acre Keller Lake, phosphorus levels rose slightly from 2014 to 2016, chlorophylla levels fell sharply and clarity rose from 0.8 meters to 1.0. The

There’s no medicines, because if they give me medicines, they’ll constipate me and I’ll die.” He has committed his journey to paper and said an autobiography, “Chasing Shadows,” is due out in the fall of 2018. He has adopted the moniker “A Journeyman.” Post said he feels God’s presence now more “than I have at any other time of my life not being in a tragedy or a trial.” For more information, visit http://wavechildren15.wixsite.com/ jm1440tour.

city’s clarity goal for Keller, 1.8 meters, was set in 2002, is unrealistic for a shallow lake of 8 to 9 feet and will likely be reset, Jacobson said. A large underground stormwater treatment system being built this summer at Crystal Beach Park is expected to remove about 72 pounds of phosphorus annually from water draining to Keller, Jacobson said. Two years ago Apple Valley built a stormwater pond to remove about 50 pounds, he said. The 60-acre Lac Lavon — a former gravel quarry that filled with water when mining was done — has very low pollutant levels, a small watershed draining to the lake and a stellar clarity reading of 4.4 meters. “That lake’s really in great shape,” Jacobson said. The 27-acre Earley Lake was removed from the Impaired Waters List in 2012, Jacobson said. From 2014 to 2016 pollutant levels fell and clarity rose from 1.4 meters to 1.7. The 58-acre Sunset Pond ex-

perienced a slight drop in phosphorus the last three years but nearly a tripling of chlorophylla. Clarity was at 1.8 meters last year and 2.2 in 2014. The 11-acre Twin Lake South has experienced increases in phosphorus and chlorophyll-a and a drop in clarity, from 2.1 meters in 2014 to 1.9 last year. The 14-acre Wood Pond has experienced a rise in the pollutants and fluctuating clarity levels — 1.3 meters in 2014, 2.5 in 2015 and 1.8 last year. Aluminum sulfate treatment is planned this year to contain internal loading from sediments in the lake, Jacobson said. A street reconstruction project last year included some underground filters to treat stormwater entering the south side of the lake. “I think Wood Pond is definitely trending in the right direction,” Jacobson said.

Sports Eagles prevail after being pushed to limit Apple Valley comes back to win 12th straight wrestling championship by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s not often that Tanyi Besong’s match affects the outcome of an Apple Valley wrestling dual. But when confronted with a must-win situation last week, the Eagles senior was ready. Besong wrestles at 220 pounds. Apple Valley, which was ranked first or second in Class 3A all season, usually put its dual meets out of reach before Besong took the mat. That was not the case in the state Class 3A championship match March 2 at Xcel Energy Center. Apple Valley trailed by four points with two matches remaining – 220, where Besong was favored, and 285, where undefeated Gable Steveson was heavily favored. Still, you could see Apple Valley fans nervously shifting in their seats, wondering if the Eagles’ streak of 11 consecutive state championships was about to end. “It’s a tense situation. Anything can happen in wrestling,” Eagles coach Dalen Wasmund said. “It just takes five seconds and things can change.” Besong took care of his business, winning a 12-1 decision over Evan DeChene. Steveson pinned Anoka heavyweight Brandon Frankfurth in 22 seconds as Apple Valley won 30-24 and earned its 25th state title in the last 35 years. “We know what to do in those moments of stress because we’ve had them before,” Besong said. “It felt great to have it on my shoulders because I knew I could get the job done.” Apple Valley (22-2) defeated Anoka 34-15 at the Clash Duals on Dec. 31 but expected a much closer match this time – and got it.

Tanyi Besong won a critical match at 220 pounds as Apple Valley defeated Anoka 3024 in the state Class 3A wrestling team championship match. The Eagles took an 11-0 lead after two matches, but Anoka won seven of the next 10 and was leading 24-20 after the 195-pound match. Besong knew what his match meant, but “all you can do is wrestle,” he said. “If the kid ended up being better than me, then he’s better than me. I just wrestled my hardest.” Although the Eagles often clinched victories before the final two matches, Besong has wrestled in high-pressure situations. The last two years he won key matches as Apple Valley defeated Shakopee in the Section 2 final both seasons. Earlier this season, the experience wasn’t as positive when the Eagles took on Shakopee in the season opener. Shakopee led by four points and had already forfeited the heavyweight match to Steveson, meaning Besong had to earn at least a major decision in the final match of the night to prevent an Apple Valley loss. He won 3-1, but the Sabers left the Apple Valley gym with a 29-28 victory. “I went up to the (wrestling) room and cried for hours, but my coaches talked to me,” he said. “I soul-searched the whole season, but I knew the end of the season is what matters most.”

Steveson earned all but one of his victories this season by fall or forfeit and wasted no time closing out the championship match. “State finals, and I had to pull it off,” he said. “I’m willing to do all the jobs I need to. In the end, the last two matches, we stepped it up. All the guys who won stepped it up.” Regan Schrempp won by technical fall at 106 and Adam Mickelson pinned his opponent at 113 as the Eagles took an early lead. Sebas Swiggum (132), Nate Larson (145) and Jalen Thul (170) won their matches by decision. Apple Valley routed Minnetonka 73-3 and Hastings 52-12 in the first two rounds of the state team tournament. St. Michael-Albertville, which reached the state final six of the previous seven years (and shared the Class 3A championship with Apple Valley in 2013), lost to Anoka 38-26 in the semifinals. Anoka was one of Apple Valley’s toughest challenges in the state team tourney in recent years. “We knew there were going to be some tight matches there,” Wasmund said. “We lost one in overtime and lost a couple of other close matches. We knew that could happen, for sure.” Nine of the 14 wrestlers

Lake Conference teams, as expected, dominated the state Class AA boys swimming and diving meet as Minnetonka and Eden Prairie took the top two places in the team competition. But schools from the South Suburban Conference had their moments. Three SSC schools – Shakopee (fifth), Eagan (sixth) and Prior Lake (ninth) – finished in the top 10 at last week’s state meet at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Two more, Lakeville South and Eastview, finished just outside the top 10, placing 11th and 12th. Lakeville North placed 15th.

out in the finals wrestled their hardest,” Steveson said. “They both gave it their all. I told our 106-pounder, the first time I was in this building for a state finals match, I lost. I haven’t lost a high school match since. I think it’s going to put something in him that wants to keep winning.” Mickelson won four of his six matches at 113 and placed fourth. One of his losses was to Farmington’s Trayton Anderson, the eventual state runner-up. Brady Gross was 4-2 at 120 and defeated Minnetonka’s Boyd Mumbuwa 3-2 for fifth place. Swiggum was 0-1 at 132 and did not get to compete in the wrestlebacks. Kyle Rathman defeated Sam Webster of Shakopee 5-4 in the ultimate tie-breaker to finish third at 138. Rathman was 4-1 in the tournament; his only loss was by one point in the semifinals. Nate Larson went 3-3 at 145 and placed sixth. Devin Roberts lost his only match in the 152 bracket. Jonah Johnson won his first two matches at 182 and lost to eventual runner-up Trey Rogers of Hastings 3-2 in the semifinals before eventually finishing sixth. Besong went 4-2 at 220 and placed fifth. Two of his victories came in overtime. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eleven Apple Valley wrestlers qualified for the state individual competition Friday and Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. Three reached championship matches, and Steveson completed his third consecutive undefeated season with a dominating performance at heavyweight.

who were in Apple Valley’s lineup for the championship match are underclassmen, meaning the Eagles figure to have a good start on their bid for a 13th consecutive state championship next season. Who will coach them might still have to be sorted out. Wasmund was named Class 3A coach of the year, but there has been speculation that he will retire. “I haven’t made that decision,” said Wasmund, who took over as head coach in 2012 after years as an Eagles assistant. “There’s capable guys ready to take over, so whenever it happens, I feel good about that.” The wrestlers’ objective won’t change. Said Steveson: “2018 state champions. That’s our goal.”

half the time he needed to pin Frankfurth in the Class 3A team championship match. The only wrestler to make it past the first period against Steveson was North St. Paul’s Corey Guenther, who was pinned in 2 minutes, 52 seconds. “A heavyweight pinning somebody so quick really doesn’t happen,” Steveson said. “Usually, it’s a 0-0, overtime match. With me going out there and finishing it off for the crowd, I think they really liked it.” Steveson (42-0) last lost a high school match in the 2014 Class 3A 195-pound finals, when he was in eighth grade. He won state championships at 220 the last two seasons before moving up to heavyweight this year. At 245 pounds, he’s often lighter than his opponents, although this year it made little difference. No one scored a takedown against him this season. This summer, Steveson said he’s hoping to compete in the Junior World tournament in Finland and the Cadet World tourney in Greece. He’s a twotime Cadet World champion at 220. Schrempp (32-16), a ninth-grader, lost to Reid Ballantyne of Stillwater 7-1 in the championship match at 106. Thul (367), a senior, reached the championship match at 170 before losing by technical fall to St. MichaelAlbertville’s Jake Allar, a national junior freestyle champion. “The guys who went

Lakeville North sophomore Andrew Trepanier, who finished second in two events at last year’s state meet, added secondand third-place medals this year. Trepanier swam an automatic All-America time of 20.55 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle but finished second to Eden Prairie senior Jordan Greenburg, who touched in 20.33 to win his second consecutive title. Trepanier was third in the 100 butterfly in 49.23, another automatic AllAmerica time. Defending champion Joshua Withers of Eden Prairie won in 48.25, setting a Class AA meet record. Eastview senior Sam

Pekarek was touched out in a tight race for the 100 breaststroke championship. Minnetonka senior Corey Lau won in 55.04, with Pekarek second in 55.09. Both are automatic All-America times. Pekarek added a sixth place in the 200 individual medley with an All-America consideration time of 1:51.36. Eagan, the 2015 Class AA team champion, was going for its third consecutive podium finish but came up about 40 points short. The Wildcats scored 116 points. Chanhassen was third with 155, grabbing the last available team trophy.

A familiar opponent blocks Eastview’s path to a sixth consecutive state girls basketball tournament appearance. The Lightning, which routed Eagan and Hastings in the first two rounds of the Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs, faces Rosemount for the section championship at 7 p.m. Thursday at Hamline University. This is the third consecutive year Eastview and Rosemount have met for the section championship. Counting regularseason South Suburban Conference games, it will be the ninth game between the teams in the last three years. Eastview has won the previous eight. Eastview coach Molly Kasper has observed the rivalry from both benches. She was an assistant coach at Rosemount before becoming Eastview’s head coach in 2015. She expects the Irish to be supercharged emotionally after their coach, Chris Orr, suffered a heart attack Friday while teach-

ing at Rosemount High School. Quick action by fellow staff members was credited with saving Orr’s life. He was released from the hospital Saturday and might be at the section championship game. The Irish upset No. 2-seeded Apple Valley 61-58 in the section semifinals Saturday. “Rosemount has always been well coached, especially on the defensive end,” Kasper said. “They trap very well, and I think they will try to keep the game low-scoring.” Eastview defeated Rosemount 45-34 and 5437 in two regular-season games. The Lightning (22-6) also has improved its defense. After squandering a 16-point second-half lead at Lakeville North on Feb. 21 and losing in overtime, the team closed the regular-season with a 70-49 victory at Apple Valley. Eastview breezed to victories over Eagan (75-28) and Hastings (6125) in the first two rounds of the section playoffs. “If we play defense, we have a chance to win even

on nights when we don’t shoot well,” Kasper said. Eastview put the game out of reach early against Hastings, taking a 36-12 halftime lead. The onesided score allowed Eastview to use a lot of players, and 10 of them scored. Guards Allie Pickrain (16 points), Rachel Ranke (11) and Macy Guebert (10) reached double figures. The Lightning has a diversified offense with Pickrain driving to the basket, and Ranke and Andrea Abrams shooting three-pointers. And, “Megan Walstad is a very good low-post scorer,” Kasper said. “I think we can force other teams into some tough decisions because you can’t take away everybody.” The Eastview-Rosemount section final assures the South Suburban Conference of having at least one team in the state Class 4A tournament. It could be two if Lakeville North beats Rochester Mayo in the Section 1 final, also on Thursday night.

Lightning wrestlers earn 3rd-place medals at state tourney by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The search for Eastview’s second state wrestling champion continues. Two Lightning wrestlers competed in the Class 3A tournament last week at Xcel Energy Center, each with a chance to bring home a first-place medal. Alex Lindstrom (170

pounds) and Mike Delich (195) took third place in their weight classes, which means Adam Fokken remains the program’s only individual state champion. He finished first at the 2001 state tournament. Lindstrom ran into eventual champion Jake Allar of St. MichaelAlbertville in the semifinals and took only his

fifth loss of the season. Delich’s state championship bid ended when his semifinal opponent, Tyler Hugg of St. Cloud Tech, was injured after Delich slammed him. Hugg suffered a concussion, could not continue the semifinal match and was forced to default in the final. It was the only loss of the season for Delich (36-1).

Eastview coaches contended the maneuver was legal but officials disagreed, awarding Hugg the victory by injury default. “I feel bad for (Hugg) and I feel bad for Mike,” said Eastview cohead coach Kurt Habeck. “He handled it better than his coaches did.” The match was scoreless in the second period

when Delich picked up Hugg and drove him into the mat. “The coaches said there’s nothing you can do. Pouting about it isn’t going to change anything, so I just got ready to wrestle two more,” Delich said Delich beat Felipe Ramirez of Faribault 5-3 in overtime in the wrestlebacks, then defeated Still-

water’s Conner Weiss 10-3 for third place. Lindstrom brought his school career victories record to 175 with a 9-4 decision over Riley Schock of Moorhead in the thirdplace match. Allar, a USA Wrestling national junior freestyle champion last summer, pinned Lindstrom in the third period of their semifinal match.

SCHOOLS, from 1A

“There is the art of teaching,� Thomas said. “This is the science of teaching.� Thomas, who serves on the district’s Racially Isolated Schools Community Collaboration Council, says the culture among teachers and staff is that they know the consequences of a child not mastering a particular task or concept, so it’s imperative they help the student. He says they use data from tests like the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments in math, reading and science to confirm or reveal where students are struggling. Thomas says when a student’s challenge is identified, the school contacts parents to get them involved right away. A goal of the district’s 2017-18 Achievement and Integration plan is to increase parent involvement even more. Every eight weeks, teams of teachers at Glacier Hills meet to talk about each student and what can be done to help them be more successful. Teachers and staff use a variety of remediation strategies ranging from brief one-on-one interactions in class to working with specialists outside of class. A student might go through a study guide series to reinforce a concept, but remedial or enrichment for individuals or small groups are integrated in the classroom day so they often don’t feel or look special. In addition, District 196 schools use MultiTier Systems of Support specialists who give oneon-one or small group instruction throughout the day. In one Glacier Hills class on Monday morning, an MTSS coach was

working with a small group to reinforce concepts they needed help with. Once the students were done with their mini-project, they were going to present it to the class. Such ownership of learning and empowerment is typical at the school, according to Thomas. Classrooms use the science-based concept of “inquiry� to lead learning, which often puts students together to solve problems using trial-anderror. Project-based activities such as building rockets, programming robots (even kindergarten students are using computer code) and replicating the works of famous artists in small group study is central to the curriculum. “They are learning from diverse perpectives,� Thomas said. “When students learn from each other and look at complex problems, they solve them differently when they have these different perspectives.� Integration is a word that holds double meaning at Glacier Hills, one of five elementary school magnets in District 196. The School of Arts and Sciences integrates its focus in the curriculum as often as possible — a strategy that Thomas says has helped the school lower its achievement gap and earned it Reward School status based on test scores the past two years. Once a Racially Identifiable school with 20 percent more minority students than neighboring schools, the school now has a racial balance that was made possible by its conversion to a magnet school in 2007. Thomas said about half of the school’s students live in the attendance area while the

Alex Ciesielski, a fourth-grade teacher at Glacier Hills Elementary, works one-on-one with a student while Multi-Tier Systems Support coach Kathryn Haave works in a small group during class Monday morning. The MTSS system allows the specialist and teacher to give extra help or enrichment to students throughout the school day. Principal Scott Thomas said reinforcing concepts through interventions like this is helping schools reduce the achievement gap throughout the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District.

other half are in-district transfers from another attendance area. Last year, Glacier Hills had about 180 more students who applied but were unable to be accepted at the 760-student capacity school where every square inch seems to be devoted to classrooms. While the school is integrated in its racial mix, the district’s Achievement and Integration strategy to have a culturally inclusive curriculum means multiculturalism is integrated when possible. Walking around the school in advance of its Student Art Fair on Thursday, March 9, one can see how arts, science and multiculturalism appears in the curriculum. Some of the works use all three facets as students exercise their creativity using math concepts such as geometry or computer technology and researching artists from around

the world. They have created masks from different cultures, made three-dimensional shape sculptures and written and illustrated books. Thomas says he’s toured about 100 magnet schools from across the country, and he’d place Glacier Hills at the top. He attributes the school’s magnet focus for helping it to reduce the achievement gap. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, District 196’s first three magnet schools created in 2007 — Diamond Path, Glacier Hills and Cedar Park — have reduced achievement gaps by 17.98 to 11.42 points from 2013-16. Proficiency ratings (the weighted percentage of subgroups reaching targets) for these schools ranged from 11.25 to 25.0. The district is hop-

ing for the same kinds of gains for Oak Ridge and Echo Park, which were added to the district’s magnet offerings this year. From 2013-16, these two schools reduced achievement gaps by 11.11 and 8.21 points, and had proficiency scores of 2.28 and 1.46, respectively, according to MDE Report Card data. The newspaper’s review of testing data for the 2016 class of fifthgraders at Glacier Hills found that reading test scores improved in all groups since 2014. The change in the percentage of those proficient in reading from 2014 as third-graders to 2016 as fifth-graders were: • White 74.1 to 80.3 percent, • Black 50.1 to 71.4 percent, • Hispanic 30.8 to 53.3 percent,

• Free and reduced price lunch 38.7 to 61.5 percent. (Testing data was not available for other subgroups.) Districtwide, the number of fifth-grade students testing proficient in reading in 2016 was 72.8 percent compared to 63.2 in 2014 when that class was in third-grade. Reading tests are used by the district to set Achievement and Integration goals, which were reported in the newspaper’s Feb. 24 story in this series. A future story will look at other testing data in the district’s middle and high schools and strategies used to reduce the achievement gap.
