Beyond the Yellow Ribbon celebrates six years Hard work continues to connect military members with the community by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In 2005, the son of Farmington resident Annette Kuyper volunteered her to serve as the family readiness leader for the Rosemount-based Red Bulls 34th Infantry Division the night before its deployment in the Iraq War. Little did Kuyper know at the time, that passive volunteer effort started a journey that led her to create the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network in Minnesota. On Thursday, March 15, the Apple Valley network celebrated its sixth anniversary with Kuyper as a guest speaker. During her talk to former and current military members and their families at the Apple Valley American Legion, Kuyper related

They talked about their experiences and their concerns while their parents and members of their churches listened. The Rev.

‘This is not being alone’ After years of separation, sisters reunite in Apple Valley Villa by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two lounge chairs sit side by side in Dorothy Ferber’s apartment. Ferber sits in one, and her sister, Suzanne Varisco, sits in the other. They spend each evening here. They eat dinner and then retire to the living room to watch a movie or a British television series. Sometimes they do activities that only one of them likes, like watching Wheel of Fortune or meeting up with friends to play bridge, but they do it together. For them, that’s the most important thing. After years of separation, Ferber and her younger sister, Varisco, are now living as next door neighbors in Apple Valley, in Augustana Care’s Apple Valley Villa. The sisters got along from the beginning. They grew up in Fort Wayne, Ind., and have many happy memories of spending weekends with their grandparents, traveling together on roundtrips with their families and singing old songs with their parents. Their mother played piano and their father sang tenor. The sisters loved singing three-part harmony with their father while their mother accompanied them. “When (Sue) first came into the picture, I was crazy about her,� Ferber said. “When she became a teenager, she was a pest. When we both matured and became adult women, we became friends again.� “For me, it was like having three parents,� Varisco said. “She was kind and generous to me, although she was sometimes bossy.� Both sisters enrolled in the School of Music at Indiana University. Varisco studied piano and Ferber studied voice. The sisters were close, but soon family and jobs took them to different areas of the country. Ferber married Dan

After the deaths of their husbands, the sisters missed each other more than ever. They began traveling to see each other more frequently and staying longer during each visit. When the apartment next to Ferber’s became available during Varisco’s visit in Aug. 2017, the sisters knew this was a rare opportunity. “I told her: ‘If you’re ever going to come, now is the time,’� Ferber said. Varisco went back to Rhode Island and packed up her house. Six weeks later, on Oct. 1, 2017, she moved in as Ferber’s nextdoor neighbor. They spend many days, and nearly every evening, together now. “We go shopping, as sisters do, or we go out for lunch or dinner,� Varisco said. “My sister has friends who don’t live in the villa and sometimes she likes to get together with them.� They attend St. Paul

Chamber Orchestra concerts when the ensemble performs locally, and they have tickets to see “Jersey Boys,� “The Book of Mormon� and “Hamilton� in the Twin Cities. “It’s wonderful,� Varisco said. “Every once in a while, we’ll sit down after dinner and we’ll say: ‘Isn’t this great? Isn’t this fun?’ Just to think, we used to do it for a couple days at a time. And now we can do it every night.� It doesn’t matter what activity they are doing — the sisters are grateful for their time together. “There are two things about our time in life that stand out,� Varisco said. “The first is getting older, having less physical ability. The second is being alone, now that we are widowed. “This — this is not being alone.�

Eagan resident named 2018 Bush Fellow Kennedy Vickers hopes to use technology to solve social issues

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sharon Kennedy Vickers believes technology can transform lives, break down barriers and grow a diverse marketplace in Minnesota. The Eagan resident has plans to use her technical knowledge to help bring a positive, inclusive revolution. “A lot of times people think about technology, it’s just there to make our lives more convenient, but it can be deployed in a way that can alleviate despair, inequity and injustice,� Kennedy Vickers said. “I’m hoping people can see technology is a tool that can help.� She is one of 24 people who were awarded Bush Foundation Fellowships earlier this week. She was granted up

Sharon Kennedy Vickers to $100,000 over 12-24 months to pursue learning opportunities to help advance her goal of fostering technological breakthroughs in a diverse environment. Kennedy Vickers has been working in the technology field for more than 20 years. In the last five years she’s focused on how to utilize data and technology to help solve societal challenges. She was recently ap-

pointed to be chief information officer for the city of St. Paul and she’s a founder of Twin Cities chapter of Blacks in Technology. She’s also one of the organizers for “Code Switch: A Civic Hackathon,� which is a group of community members, designers, project managers, programmers and people who just want to learn and collaborate intensively on technology advancements. “It brings together technologists to help solve social challenges with such things like transportation, public safety and public health,� Kennedy Vickers said. “We all pitch ideas and solutions.� One of the ideas born from this process is a prototype for an “open bed� application.

“When people experience homelessness, they can discover open beds in open areas using a mobile app,� Kennedy Vickers said. “Say they’re a male with an animal, it will show you the closest open bed and bus routes to get there.� Another app is called “Can I Vote if ?,� which is designed to help individuals navigate elections. “If an individual has had contact with the justice system and they’re not aware of the rules, they might not vote even though they could,� Ken-

nedy Vickers said. “This app would help them know if they’re eligible and if they are, show the rules and show them how to register. It will tell them who is running in their area as well.� She’s also involved in a civic technology meet up with a goal of “coming up with tools to improve the lives of our residents and make it more inclusive.� The organization now has 600 members. The fellowship isn’t going to afford Kennedy Vickers any extra time.

She’s already plenty busy. What it will do is allow her to acquire skills to move her initiatives forward. “I’m committed to my work with St. Paul,� Kennedy Vickers said. “This will allow me to expand my capacity from a communications perspective and allow me to take some coursework and some executive programs to do this work on a larger scale.� Her vision includes a Minnesota that’s known See FELLOW, 11A

Rosemount High School sent out an email to parents just after 1:20 p.m. that afternoon alerting them to the situation. “Please know that this was an accident,� the email said. “No students were in danger and school safety was not threatened.� Due to privacy rules, the school was unable to release any more in-

Pawlenty files campaign committee for governor AP — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Monday he created a campaign committee to run for his old job, the most concrete step yet after months of speculation whether the Republican would return to politics following his short-lived 2012 presidential campaign. Pawlenty, an Eagan resident and former state representative and City Council member serving Eagan, has been inching toward a run for months, recently quitting his Washington, D.C., lobbying job and starting to raise money for a potential bid to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. In an emailed statement from a new campaign website,

Pawlenty touted his credentials as a potential candidate while promising a final announcement soon. “As a two-term governor, I know what it takes to lead our state in the right direction at this pivotal moment in American history,� he said. Minnesota law requires candidates to register a campaign committee within 14 days of collecting $750 in donations or spending an equal amount. Pawlenty has started to raise money for a campaign, including an upcoming fundraising trip to Florida. Pawlenty told The Associated Press and other reporters just last week he was “warming up the engine� for a possible bid.

To make it official, he’ll have to file for the office with the secretary of state. He would bring unparalleled name recognition and fundraising ability to a Republican field that has struggled to raise money. But a Pawlenty reboot also comes with the political risk of his recent work. After a quick flameout in the 2012 presidential election, Pawlenty joined the Financial Services Roundtable in 2012, making more than $1 million a year while lobbying on behalf of the nation’s largest banks. On his new campaign website, Pawlenty referenced that five-year stint only as serving “as the leader of a large trade association.�

Opinion Time is right to refocus on affordable housing Chances are you’ve seen it where you live or work. Homes are being built again, jobs are plentiful and new apartments are sprouting faster than many Minnesotans can remember. The housing crisis and Great Recession are assuredly over. But prosperity has helped expose and exacerbate the shortage of affordable housing. To many, including Gov. Mark Dayton, the mismatch between housing costs and too many working families’ ability to afford them is the state economy’s new crisis. The mismatch persists in the Twin Cities region and outside it, where monthly job gains sometimes exceed the metro area’s. Last December, Dayton formed the Governor’s Task Force on Housing to find solutions to the problem of more than one in four households — nearly 550,000 — spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The 30 percent figure is a widely accepted benchmark of affordability. As the task force works toward a July report, the ECM Editorial Board will publish a series examining the contours of the problem, its specific impacts on working people and senior citizens and potential remedies — which must include public incentives to bring private and nonprofit builders and housing providers into the picture. Twenty-seven percent of households are burdened by housing costs of more than 30 percent, meaning they must

The number of cost-burdened households rose by 58 percent from 2000 to 2016, reports Minnesota Housing, the state’s housing finance agency. Among Minnesota’s 590,000 renter households, nearly half experience housing cost burden and nearly a quarter experience “severe” burden, with more than half of income spent on rent, MHP reports. Forty-three percent of white renter households suffered cost burden, compared with 53 percent of renters of color. “While many housing trends vary by region, renter housing cost burden is an issue in almost every county in Minnesota,” MHP reports. Incomes have not kept pace with rising housing costs. Statewide, median monthly rents rose from $815 in 2000 to $912 in 2016, while median annual incomes fell 4 percent from $38,250 to $36,766, Minnesota

Housing reports. The median renter income of $32,600 in 2015 provided $815 to spend affordably on housing compared with the fair-market rent of $924 for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. There is a housing shortage. Rental vacancy rates are 3.8 percent in the Twin Cities metro and 4.3 in greater Minnesota, both below the 5 percent that reflects a stable market. Among Minnesota’s 1.5 million homeowner households, nearly one in five experienced cost burden in 2015. That’s 20 percent higher than the average rate of cost burden in Upper Midwest states. Nearly 10 percent of Minnesota’s homeowning households spend more than half their income on housing. In the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, the growth of relatively low-wage jobs is expected to create 118,000 new openings by 2024. But among the top six in-demand occupations, only registered nurses and truck drivers will be able to afford fair-market rents for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. Senior citizens face their own challenges. More than half of renting seniors face housing cost burden along with a quarter of senior homeowners. In the Twin Cities region, more than three in five senior renters are cost burdened. “This issue is likely to grow only more urgent as the region’s senior population is expected to grow by 123 percent over the next 20 years — the largest project-

ed increase for any region in the state,” MHP said. Market forces alone don’t solve these problems. Minnesota has lost thousands of units of “naturally occurring” affordable rental housing — older units with modest rents. As rents have risen and vacancies fallen, they’ve become plums for investors to pluck, update and put back on the market at much higher rents. Strong growth among renter households with higher incomes has prodded the trend, symbolized most notably in the Twin Cities by the upscaling of the 700-unit Crossroads at Penn complex in Richfield, where many low-income renters lost their homes. Gov. Dayton’s bonding bill before the Legislature includes $100 million for affordable housing projects statewide. He says more than $5 billion in public and private investment has helped 325,000 low- and moderate-income households gain affordable housing since he took office in 2011. We hope that new investment and new approaches will become part of his legacy when he leaves office at the end of this year. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

A long list of horrifying stories came out last year, telling about abuse, assault and neglect of seniors and vulnerable adults. You were probably as appalled as I was, hearing tales of beatings, humiliation, sexual assault and neglect at some privately owned nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Fortunately, many state leaders, including the governor and state legislators, were also stunned and action has been taken. There had been a backlog of 2,321 complaints in 2017 – those have been eliminated and the state departments that investigate those complaints are keeping up on the 400 or so complaints they receive each week. (Think about that – 400 complaints a week!) The proposed legislation will improve licensing rules and enforcement, as well as improve communication with family members. Hopefully these actions will go a long way to stop the perpetrators and provide accountability.

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken The horror stories of elder abuse overshadow the many quality care facilities and dedicated employees. Anyone who has spent time in residential care facilities can see that the staff there often has very challenging situations to deal with. Many facilities are understaffed and employees have not received adequate training in dealing with the many health issues that face older people. I saw many examples of quality care when my own parents needed full-time residential services. I also learned a lot about the challenges they face every day, and admire the incredible patience the staff showed. One woman in a room down the hall from my mother would say: “Help me, help me! Why won’t anyone help me?” At first I was shocked. Then I learned she repeated her lament about every 15 minutes. The nurses and aides would stop by to talk to her and calm her down. She’d

be quiet for 10 minutes or so, then the situation would repeat. Another thing I learned as my parents went through those later stages of life was that it was difficult to identify reality. My father was lucid up to the end, but occasionally would become very concerned about the pigs getting out of the hog barn. He would urge his grandson to check on them. Dad hadn’t raised pigs for 50 years, but for him it was a vivid and real concern. A friend told me about his grandfather, who patiently waited for the school bus at the front of the nursing home every day. You’ve heard many other stories, too, such as elderly people becoming very angry and agitated to the point of physical attacks on others. My point is that the issues with elder care and potential abuse are very complicated. Many times the victim is not believed because of signs of dementia in everyday conversation. Sometimes the victim is unable to speak accurately. No doubt there are occasions when an elderly person claims abuse and it just didn’t happen – or the person is reliving something that happened decades ago. We need to adopt a slogan similar to the “believe her” movement that has accompanied the wave of sexual harassment discoveries. We need to “believe

them” when a senior reports some type of issue and investigate right away. But we need trained people to lead those investigations, to sort fact from fiction and act swiftly when abuse is suspected. Quality care requires accountability by everyone involved. Family should visit regularly, talk with staff and be aware of the home’s conditions. We also need to be totally aware that sometimes our elderly relatives cannot communicate. Watching for sudden changes in behavior or mood can be signs that something is wrong. Facility management must be diligent in hiring quality employees and ensuring they are properly trained and supervised. It’s also our responsibility to do what we can to ensure quality care for our elders. Someday we will be the ones needing the care and attention. I think it’s a solid step for our state’s leaders to pursue their list of changes and improvements. This is a good time to set high standards for all care facilities. I’m hoping this is one area where we truly will see bipartisan action and real results. Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers.

Letters Why add a skyway bridge now? To the editor: The city of Apple Valley recently submitted a request for funds to be included in the 2018 governor’s budget to build a “skyway” to connect the 147th bus stations over Cedar Avenue for $2.345 million. This is not the first request to fund this project. In 2016, the city promoted a bonding bill, HF3322 and SF2369, with the cost to taxpayers of $5

million. So what is the reason for the dollar difference? There is no difference. If we look into the actual request, we find that the city is going to allocate $400,000, the state of Minnesota $2.35 million General Obligation Bonds and the remaining $1.95 million coming from “Other Funding.” What are these other sources? Probably the Metropolitan Council and Dakota County. Yes, all taxpayer dollars. That is only part of the story. There is the interest cost

on these borrowed funds. My rough estimate for a GO bond, 2 percent due 20 years, would be an additional $2 million or a total of $7 million for the project. An appropriation bond interest cost at 4 percent for 20 years would be an additional $4 million. This would be even more for a 30-year bond. Also, if built there are ongoing maintenance and other costs that would be the responsibility of the taxpayers. And who would own this facility? The Metropolitan Council.

If you are familiar with this area, you know that there are no public parking areas near these stations, thus Park and Ride is not a valid rider option. There is very little residential building to support ridership, in fact there is a very low number of riders currently using these stations. If safety is an issue in crossing Cedar Avenue there are well coordinated semaphore signals, with audio instructions, at 145th and 147th streets and it takes less than a few minutes to walk from the furthest point of these intersections to either bus station. At this time ridership and safety do not seem to justify spending the $5 million to build the skyway and another $4 million in interest cost for state bonding provisions, to say nothing of the costs for the maintenance and repair of the structure. Maybe at some time in the future this expenditure of taxpayer funds may be a good thing, however, at this time I believe there are other more pressing needs for these taxpayer dollars. RICH McCABE Apple Valley

Climate choice is clear To the editor: It seems there are still a few folks left who actually believe the world’s top scientists are con men scam-

ming us about the dangers of climate change (Climate change and choices, March 16). Fortunately, the vast majority of U.S. citizens do not subscribe to this incorrect stance and have moved on to look for solutions. The letter writer claims that a hypothetical extra $20 per month is best spent on more urgent causes. However, losses from U.S. weather disasters last year broke the previous annual record by a whopping $100 billion. This comes to $15 per household/per week — effectively wiping out that extra charity money. Science and backyard observation tell us these everincreasing disasters are spurred by climate change. And projections show that climate change will reduce global GDP by 20 percent. It’s happening now and the economically vulnerable are hardest hit. What could be more urgent? What about solutions to climate change? There is a market-based, economically viable option; Carbon Fee and Dividend. Fossil fuel producers would pay a steadily increasing rate per ton of CO2 extracted. The proceeds are distributed equally to citizens to offset the rising cost of dirty energy. A study by nonpartisan, highly-respected Regional Economic Models Inc. shows that, in just 20 years, this solution will reduce carbon emissions 50 percent over 1990 levels, add 2.8 million new

jobs driven by a clean energy economy, and avoid 230,000 premature deaths from air pollution. Humanity is suffering from climate change right now, while a clean energy future looks bright with promise. Our choice is crystal clear. LAUREL REGAN Apple Valley

Proud of young people To the editor: I and two friends were among the 30 or so adults who went on Wednesday, March 14, to support the walkout against gun violence at Apple Valley High School. The Apple Valley students were joined by students from Rosemount, Prior Lake and School of Environmental Studies. We were so proud of the students. It was well organized, the speakers were articulate and factbased with their message. Before I went, someone told me that high school students shouldn’t be doing this, that they didn’t really understand, that the responsibility of adults was to protect them. The students very clearly did understand. They understood that they are the future and they need to think about what their future is. Students thanked us for supporting them and one girl even gave me a hug. She said that it was frightening to think See LETTERS, 5A

they are convicted felons by purchasing a gun at a gun show or from a private party. Does anyone else, especially our elected officials, see the lunacy of this? Do we have to wait until there is a mass school shooting Minnesota to take action? Take action now! Enough is enough!

Five cities in Minnesota have already passed Tobacco 21 locally, and it’s time for the state to act. Thanks to Halverson, the dream of a smoke-free generation in Minnesota is one step closer to a reality.

Start with the right definitions

TOM TRAUB Lakeville

Help stop elder abuse

To the editor: This newspaper’s March 16 article titled “Nationwide walkout gets local in Apple Valley� contained glaring, yet common errors about firearms. It stated that students advocated, among other things, “putting more restrictions on automatic assault weapons.� The fact is that automatic firearms, generically “machine guns,� have been restricted since the National Firearms Act of 1934, reinforced with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and even further restricted by the federal government in 1986. Additionally, the term “assault weapon� is a politically derived term that has varying definitions but is not a definition of a type of firearm. There can be no meaningful discussion of any topic if we don’t first adhere to word definitions. Otherwise we’re just speaking gibberish.

Tobacco 21 for the state

To the editor: In Minnesota, 92,000 people aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease. This number is expected to soar more than 30 percent by 2025. Today I joined other Alzheimer’s advocates at the State Capitol in St. Paul to lend my voice on behalf of these Minnesotans. I was shocked when I read reports of elder abuse in the news recently. While many people who have Alzheimer’s or another dementia live at home, 42 percent of them are living in long-term care settings. The safety of vulnerable adults is critical, which is why I spoke to my state legislators about the importance protecting them from abuse. The Alzheimer’s Association, as a partner in the Elder Abuse Consumer Workgroup, helped advocates urge our state representatives and senators to pass a bill that not only requires dementia care standards, but also strengthens the rights of vulnerable adults, enhances their criminal and civil remedies, and demands improvements in the Minnesota Department of Health. Now I ask all local residents to contact politicians in Apple Valley and ask them to support Senate File 3088 and House File 3468. This is the kind of broad reform Minnesota needs to improve quality of life in long-term care settings. Help stop the abuse of elders.

that the future was their responsibility. I told her it is an opportunity and we have to believe in hope. I was very proud of the young people. DIEDRE JONES Apple Valley

Enough is enough To the editor: Current Minnesota law prohibits an 18-yearold from buying a beer but allows them to buy a semi-automatic assault rifle like the ones that have been used in most of the school shootings around the country. And they can do so even if they suffer from a severe mental or emotional disability. In addition, they can easily skirt the prohibition of purchasing a gun even if

To the editor: Here in Minnesota, we want to be leading the way on promoting health, especially when it comes to our kids. Thanks to state Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, we are doing just that. She is doing important work and will continue to in this great state of Minnesota to keep our kids healthy and safe. At the Capitol recently, Halverson co-authored a bill that would make Minnesota the sixth state to pass a statewide Tobacco 21 policy. An astounding 95 percent of addicted adult smokers start before age 21. Raising the tobacco sale age would help lower the burden of tobacco in our state and protect youths from a lifetime of tobacco addiction. Just a couple weeks ago, the state released an alarming survey that found that for the first time in a generation, the rate of youth tobacco use has risen. Though we have made tremendous progress, tobacco use still remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Minnesota. We can, and must, do more to help prevent the next generation of youth from becoming lifetime tobacco users. Tobacco 21 is a common-sense policy that is gaining momentum across the nation. If Minnesota raised the tobacco age to 21, we could prevent an estimated 30,000 Minne- KATIE ROBERG sota youth from becoming Apple Valley smokers over 15 years.

LEADERS, from 1A

mates to do and show them how to do so in an effective manner. Hauser: I think my best leadership quality is my drive to improve everyone around me. When I’m coaching or working with people in our marching band I like to focus on helping other people get better. My next best leadership quality is probably my intensity, or drive. I strongly believe that the best way to get someone to work harder is to just increase the intensity of a drill, so when people see their section leader working hard they increase their intensity as well. How do you balance your time? Molleti: I balance my time by planning ahead of time and being in constant communication with my teachers, coaches, and family. I love to use my planner and make check lists! However, even with all my best efforts sometimes it’s hard to participate in so many things, so I have had to choose the activities that are most important to me and put all my effort into those. Hauser: I’m pretty lucky to have activities that mostly take place in different seasons. For me lacrosse is generally all year round, but in the winter when I’m busiest with other activities, there really isn’t a huge commitment. When I’m at my busiest I schedule myself fairly rigorously, with very little free time outside of weekends, and the odd night every few weeks. As long as I make a schedule for myself and set deadlines, I can get things done more effectively. Who inspires you to be a strong leader? Molleti: I am inspired to be a strong leader because of my good friend Karen Macario Gazga. She is a passionate, independent, hard worker who always puts her heart and soul into her activities and fights for what she believes in. She encourages me to go after what I consider important and to speak up and share my voice. If I’m ever nervous about doing something, her bravery gives me courage. Hauser: Aron Lipkin, my club lacrosse coach and one

National Arts Honors Society, National Spanish Honors Society and various language clubs. Molleti is also a LINC (Leaders in Community) leader. She volunteers at the Minnesota Zoo as a Zooteen, where she acts as an assistant counselor. She also volunteers in the surgery lounge at Fairview, where she acts as a connection between patients and nurses. Recently, she volunteered as an assistant team manager for an elementarylevel Destination Imagination team. Hauser is heavily involved in the band program. He’s a section leader in wind ensemble, jazz band, marching band and brass ensemble. He’s also been part of the pit orchestra for the school play, as well as few solo and ensemble groups. Hauser has played lacrosse since his freshman year and is part of his school’s French and Interact clubs. He does most of his volunteering through Interact Club — everything from bagging groceries around the holidays to making baby blankets. He also volunteers through Homegrown Lacrosse where he works as a camp counselor, coaches at skills clinics and helps with various events around the metro area. The newspaper asked the students a few questions about their leadership in the community. What are your strongest leadership qualities? Molleti: I believe my strongest leadership qualities are empathy and authenticity. I always make an effort to connect with every person on my team and understand them both in and out of the activity. By understanding the reasoning behind certain behavior and ensuring no one is left out, I am able to be a more just and cooperative leader. I also believe that being authentic and leading by example is very important and something that I exemplify. I always try to keep a positive attitude, an open mindset, and try my best. I believe that I should do everything I expect my team-

of the founders of Homegrown Lacrosse. Over the last 10 months I’ve been recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus, and even though I couldn’t play he constantly reached out to me, giving me chances to volunteer, or just to see how I was doing. Aron is the kind of person I admire because he doesn’t just look at his players as just players, he sees them as family. What advice do you have for other students? Molleti: I believe that leading by example is the most important quality for a leader. Ensuring that you are passionate and willing to put yourself out there will open up new opportunities. I also believe it is important to take risks. If I hadn’t decided to simply apply for positions in my school and community, I wouldn’t be in many of the leadership roles I am in today. Hauser: If you’re looking to be put in a leadership role, find something you enjoy doing. You need to enjoy it because you should be working hard, and you want to make sure you won’t want to stop once it gets hard. My biggest piece of advice is to keep working once you earn your spot as a leader, because it will motivate those around you, and your hard work will earn other people’s respect. Tell us about receiving the award. Molleti: It was a really fun and exciting experience! I got the opportunity to meet many other amazing juniors from all over the state and to understand what other high schools were like. While I was getting the award, I couldn’t stop smiling because there was a truly great energy and sense of excitement around. Hauser: Receiving the ExCEL award was a pretty amazing feeling. I volunteer in my community as a way to give back, I never imagined that I would get an award for it. It just made me realize how many opportunities I have been given to help give back, so I think it’s important for me to thank the people who got me here.

RIBBON, from 1A Blue Star Mothers to create a support system for those deployed and their families, mostly focused on reintegration back into civilian society after a military deployment. She started the effort by creating a network in Farmington called the Warrior to Citizen, which eventually was changed into the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network as its reach expanded. In 2008, the first network in Minnesota was established in Farmington in large part due to Kuyper’s work. It aimed to connect veterans and their families to resources to help with reintegration and assist with household chores and community connections while a family member was deployed. Kuyper was eventually hired to coordinate the establishment of networks throughout Minnesota as the director of military outreach for the Minnesota National Guard. Not long after, she helped establish networks in Apple Valley, Rosemount and beyond. Seven years ago, Kuyper contacted Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and City Manager Tom Lawell about creating a network in Apple Valley. Both pledged their support to the project along with that of veteran and City Council Member Tom Goodwin. Current network president Paul Chellsen was an early board member and served as vice president to president Bruce Folken when it first started. Other charter members were Lawell, Bill Tschohl and Rich Davey. Kuyper stressed the need to make sure that more service members, veterans and their families don’t ever feel

alone, and that the communities honor and recognize their service. She credited the Apple Valley network for doing great work, especially with the amazing dinner. The free dinner, which was attended by 130 people, was organized by American Legion office manager Joan Guse and general manager Linsey Green, while staffing for the event was provided by Yellow Ribbon members and Scouts from Troop 293. Dessert was prepared by the Women’s Auxiliary, Unit 1776. Other community partners were acknowledged during the dinner as helping establish and grow the network. Among those are the Legion, Apple Valley Rotary, Bogart’s Entertainment Center, Von Hanson’s Meats and the Apple Valley Police Department. Hamann-Roland said the organizations working together allows for so much more to be accomplished to help veterans. She said city residents have a history of helping each other, calling this the “City of Motherly Love.� Current network committee members are Davey, Tschohl, Lawell, vice president Jay Peterson, secretarytreasurer Glenn Sonnee, Joel Hohenstein, Dick Geiger, Curt Martinson, Tom Werner, Josh Gerving and Bill Swanstrom. The next free Military Appreciation Dinner will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19, at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Early registration is encouraged with cutoff the day before the event. Register at: 952-923-5014 or yellowribbonav@gmail.com. The dinner is open to all active military, veterans and their immediate family.

School Board members get raise The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board has voted to increase its compensation rate. Compensation for District 196 School Board members is currently $6,460 for the Chair, $6,221 for Vice Chair, Clerk, Treasurer and Directors. “New compensation rates have been calculated, taking into account inflation over the past 18 years and salary trends of board members in the metro area — of school districts of comparable size to District 196,” Chairperson Jackie Magnuson said at the March 12 school board meeting. The proposed 2018 compensation rate is $9,000 for board members and $9,900 for the Chair. Moving forward, the board will approve its compensation rate at its annual organizational meeting in January. Members of the negotiations committee will now receive $250 per diem for meetings they attend — an increase from the current rate of $125 that was last approved in 1995. School board members are also permitted to seek limited employment from School District 196 as long as they do not earn in excess of $8,000 per fiscal year from this temporary employment. This employment must be approved by the other members of the board at a meeting where all members are present. This is the first compensation increase for District 196 School Board members in nearly 20 years.

Merlin will assist Pierce in five main areas. Merlin will be trained to help Pierce calm down during a meltdown by laying on top of him. He’ll sleep with Pierce to provide the sense of safety and security Pierce needs to get a good night’s sleep. Merlin will help Pierce disrupt negative self-behaviors, and he will help Pierce develop better social skills. The dog’s fluffy fur will also offer sensory relief. “Merlin’s job will be to keep Pierce safe,� Shelley said. “Safe from himself when he is having problems controlling his anger, safe from picking at his skin so much he bleeds and safe when he sleeps in his own bed.� Shelley said she had searched for options in Minnesota, but Pierce is too old for most of the service dog adoption programs. She found ADA, a division of Highland Ca-

nine Training LLC, located in Harmony, N.C. “I was shocked at how difficult the application process is,� she said. She had to complete a pre-application, proving her son’s disabilities, before filling out the formal application. Videos of Pierce’s behaviors, three references, a note from Pierce’s doctor, notice from a vet and a family agreement were just a few of the required documents during the application process. The Beaumont family began searching for a service dog in June 2015, and it wasn’t until February 2017 that they were put on the waitlist. In March 2017, Shelley and Pierce traveled to North Carolina to meet with people from the organization and introduce Pierce to a few dogs. Pierce had originally thought he wanted a golden retriever, but he became interested in poodles during the visit.

In January of this year, the organization notified the family they’d found a match — a large labradoodle, named Merlin after Pierce’s love for magic. Shelley and Pierce drove to North Carolina again, this time bringing along Pierce’s sister Karly, to meet Merlin and see if he and Pierce would hit it off. The two bonded instantly, Shelley said. Pierce is already getting excited for his new, furry friend. “I want a dog to play with it and have fun,� he said. “I want Merlin to join my family because it would be lovely and he is a cute dog.� He’s preparing to give Merlin the best care possible. “I will take care of him by loving him, feed him, give him water, give him baths, take him on walks and runs to keep him healthy,� he said. The price for the dog, including training, food

and board, vet fees and grooming, comes in around $16,000. Transportation and lodging for the Beaumont family to visit the dog in North Carolina during the approval process, and to bring Merlin and two handlers to Minnesota, totals more than $4,000. “People are really surprised when they find out how expensive a service dog is. People wonder, ‘Why don’t you just get a shelter animal?’ � Beaumont said. “It just doesn’t work that way. The training is very intensive, it’s very individualized, it’s very specific and it’s very important that service dogs are socialized because they are going to be out in society, working.� At press time, the Beaumont family had raised $9,150 of their $20,000 goal. “I’ve tapped out friends and family. I’ve sent out letters to all the chamber of commerce members, and I have some feelers out to other organizations,� Beaumont said. If they don’t raise the funds by the time the dog is ready, likely between July and August this summer, Beaumont fears she will have to forfeit the dog and all of the money they’ve poured into it. “That is the most frustrating piece of this: there aren’t really agencies or funds to tap into that can donate for service dogs,� she said. “Some agencies in Minnesota provide free dogs, but they either have an age limit, and Pierce is too old, or they have a

SUMMIT, from 1A byterian Church in Apple Valley and their pastor, the Rev. Rob Smith. Congregants of St. James AME Church in Minneapolis and their pastor, the Rev. Michael Gonzalez, attended as well. In all, there were about 40 people in the room. Kalease Smith, program coordinator of Ramsey Country Sexual Offense Services, facilitated the discussion. She asked the students how they respond to their peers’ posts on social media. If they see someone posting pictures of guns or violent statements, what do they do? The youths responded with answers ranging from checking in with the peer to reporting the student’s behavior to a teacher. An adult cautioned the students to be careful about confronting their peers directly, citing personal safety as a factor, but encouraged them to get school administration involved. The facilitator agreed and told the students it is

important to do something. “The thing about these mass shooters is that they want to be recognized,� Smith said. “So, it’s good to get some help.� When asked if the students felt safe in their schools, answers varied. Some said they felt safe because “we know our teachers will protect us.� Others said they didn’t feel safe because they feel like “the staff is always watching us, with the expectation that we are going to do something wrong.� Smith talked about the dangers of profiling and stereotyping. “Often times, the people doing the shooting are not the people you would pick out of a crowd,� she said. “You have to make sure you are not caught up in the profiling.� An adult in the group asked the students if they think teachers should be armed. Unanimously, the students said, “no.� The youths expressed concerns that guns in the classroom might make it easier for students to ac-

cess guns and use them for violence. Some said they thought having an armed teacher would make their class a target in a school shooting because the shooter might want to eliminate threats. Several students worried teachers might use guns to threaten their own students. “You can’t solve a problem with a problem,� one student said. The discussion covered topics ranging from violence in video games to the importance of reaching out to peers who might not fit in. After talking about toxic masculinity, mental health and social norms, the students tackled the question: “Can mass shootings be prevented?� They said they are hopeful. The students said they can feel a new conversation — the start of a movement. Many cited the National Student Walkout on Wednesday, March 14. The Rev. Bill Smith gave closing remarks. He asked, by a show of hands, how many people thought

the event was meaningful. Nearly every participant raised a hand. He thanked the students for their candor, and he empathized with their fear. He reminded them that other people are living in fear. “There are a number of people who feel threatened from all sides, and they have no place to go,� the Rev. Bill Smith said. “When we get together, share our concerns, break bread together — like this — we can share love with them.� He encouraged the students and their families to start a love movement in Dakota County. “What’s love got to do with it? It’s everything when our children are asking for it,� he said. The Rev. Bill Smith said he hopes to meet with other church leaders to discuss next steps. “Sometimes big things get started in little places,� he said. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Four tips to prep for tax season 2018 BY MATTHEW M. F. MILLER CTW FEATURES

If you want to make sure you’re maximizing the advantages of the new tax laws for your 2018 taxes – due April 15, 2019 – start getting your ducks in a row today. Here are four things everyone should think consider: 1. Check Your W-4 That W-4 form you filled out when you started your job may need to be given a once-over in light of the new tax bill. Given the quick turnaround between the bill being passed and then enacted, all of the details and forms aren’t quite worked out. It’s likely your company’s HR representative might not know exactly what you will need to do in order to ensure you won’t be met with a hefty tax bill come April 15, 2019, but it’s worth checking in. Recently, the IRS released it’s 2018 Tax Witholding Tables, which can help you determine if you need to adjust how much federal tax is being taken out of your check. Download the guide here: http://bit.ly/ taxtablectw 2. Recheck Your Retirement Could the new laws

affect your retirement numbers? Perhaps, so it’s a good idea to talk to your retirement planner to see what, if anything, you should change. For some, the lower tax rates could be a reason to convert a standard pretax IRA into a Roth IRA, which could save money on taxes. It could also be a good time to tap into some of your retirement

For moving expenses, there will be exceptions for those in the military, but the costs associated with relocation no longer will reduce your tax burden. Another big change? Losses sustained due to a fire, storm or theft are no longer deductible. The only way a disaster deduction can be claimed is if you have been affected by a

accounts to take advantage of the lower rates, too. Personal situations vary greatly, so work with a trusted professional to update your plan. 3.

You now can deduct expenses up to 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. After two years, however, it will return to the previous threshold of 10 percent of adjusted gross income. Also, for those caring for an elderly parent – or an adult child with a disability – you can claim a $500 temporary credit for such dependents.

Eagles have more to do before wrapping Jones era Apple Valley pursues 4th state basketball title this week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sometime soon, people in Apple Valley boys basketball will reflect on nine years of having a member of the Jones family playing point guard for the varsity team and sparking the program to unprecedented success. But the time for nostalgia isn’t here just yet. “I’m waiting until this week is over,” Tre Jones said before practice Monday afternoon. “I’m not trying to put an ending to my high school career yet. I hope we can get three wins this week.” The Jones run at Apple Valley, which started in the 2009-10 season when Tyus Jones became the Eagles’ starting point guard as an eighth-grader, features five state tournament appear-

ances and all three of the school’s state championships (including the 2017 title). The Eagles went for a fourth Class 4A title this week, playing Forest Lake on Wednesday in a quarterfinal game at Target Center that took place after this edition went to press. The Apple ValleyForest Lake winner plays Lakeville North or Maple Grove in the semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday, also at Target Center. Tyus Jones, who was part of a national championship team in his one year at Duke University and now plays for the Timberwolves, is Apple Valley’s career leader in points and assists. Tre Jones will be second all-time in points, rebounds and assists, and holds the school’s singlegame scoring record of 48 points. Tre, also headed to Duke next season, is a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award, with the winner scheduled to be announced Wednesday, March 28. If Tre Jones is

the winner he likely won’t be there in person to accept because he has been invited to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game the same night. Both Joneses put up big offensive numbers, but Eagles coach Zach Goring said they have contributed as much, if not more, at the other end of the floor. “It comes back to Tre, and Tyus when he was here, setting the tone defensively,” Goring said. “We have very strong defenders. They understand team defense. We spend a lot of time on it.” The Eagles also understand that if their best and most highly acclaimed players put in the effort on defense, everybody else needs to do the same. “It’s worked for us in the past,” said senior guard Luke Martens, who will play college basketball at Winona State. “The second half of the season we always put in a lot of time on defense because we know it will win games at the end of the season.”

Apple Valley, 25-4 overall, has won its last 18 games, including an 84-69 victory over Eastview in the Class 4A, Section 3 championship game March 15 at Farmington High School. The Eagles say the hot streak coincided with Martens’ return from fractures in both wrists, the most recent occurring the Friday after Thanksgiving. Martens has had surgery to put screws in both wrists and said he is healthy now. “One hundred percent,” Martens said. “I was hurting for a while, but now I feel great.” Martens’ scoring average of 11.9 is second highest on the team to Jones’ 22.9, and Goring said Martens also is a tough defender, something the Eagles value in the postseason. Jones had 33 points and 10 rebounds in the section championship victory over Eastview. Senior guard Nathan Macho had 16 See EAGLES, 13A

She had 11 points and three rebounds in addition to taking on some of the responsibility for trying to contain Bueckers. “I had to guard a couple of good players, so I just tried to go out there and try to not let them score as much,� Carson said. “She had no hesitation. You saw it tonight; there’s just no hesitation. She’s ready for the stage,� Kasper said. “Her length obviously helps, with a 6-2 wingspan on a ‘little’ ninth-grader. It’s nice when you can have that coming off the bench and you’re not just relying on Megan or somebody else.� Senior forward Mariah Alipate, who sat out the 2016-17 season after having knee surgery, had 15 points and nine rebounds in the championship game. The other members of the starting five, Macy Guebert, Andrea Abrams and Carpenter, had nine, seven and six points. Moments after the state championship game,

Eastview’s Andrea Abrams looks for an open teammate during the state Class 4A girls basketball championship game against Hopkins. Walstad said she was still having trouble processing what just happened. “I’m, like, speechless,� she said. “We’ve been working for this for so long. For it to finally be real is just crazy. This is the greatest team I’ve ever been on. We all have a similar mindset and we’re all selfless in the way we play. It’s just so fun.� Kasper said that selflessness was in place al-

most from the first day of the season, reaching a point where the coach said she wasn’t nervous before any Lightning game. “Usually as a coach you’re nervous about maybe executing a game plan,� Kasper said, “but I know we’re going to play hard on defense, I know we’re going to play together, I know we’re going to make the extra pass. Other than

Crowl had 13 points, senior guard Essam Ibrahim scored 12 and Machacek added 11 for the Lightning, which finished 12-17. Apple Valley has pushed thoughts of the future into the background, at least for another week. Goring said he has 10 seniors he wants to send out with positive

I’ve seen other teams go away from what got them to that point, and that’s what made them lose.� Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

tween November 2010 and June 2017. He allegedly told victims a company would purchase their gold and silver on a future date. Victims were told the set purchase price would guarantee a profit or their gold and silver would be sold on the open market if it was more profitable. Victims were given a contract with multiple fees ranging from $1,000 to $2,000, which Rougier referred to as an “asset management fee.� This fee along with other annual fees were always paid to Rougier. According to the indictment, that money was spent by Rougier on

shopping trips, entertainment, travel, strip clubs and other personal expenses. The victims paid Rougier approximately $740,000; however, Rougier’s bank records show he took out $407,000 in cash withdrawals, $41,000 on strip clubs, almost $100,000 on travel, shopping, restaurants and other entertainment, as well as tens of thousands on living expenses. Rougier was indicted last month for mail fraud and wire fraud in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis. On March 12 he pleaded not guilty to the charges and was returned to Anoka County Jail, where he is serving a sentence for felony theft by

swindle. This case was investigated by the FBI and the Minnesota Commerce Fraud Bureau. Rougier’s securities and insurance producer licenses were revoked by the Commerce Department in 2012. Rougier was sentenced to a year in the Anoka County Jail on March 5 after pleading guilty to swindling a 75-year-old Coon Rapids man out of more than $70,000. He spent the money on strip clubs, luxury hotels and personal expenses rather than investing the money, which he promised the victim. Contact Kayla Culver at kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com.

‘Mary Poppins’ at Burnsville High School “Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical� opens Thursday, April 12, featuring music, dancing and some surprises at Burnsville High School’s Mraz Center for the Performing Arts, located at 600 E. Highway 13. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney Co. film, Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins� introduces the troubled Banks family in 1910’s England. Directed by Amy Stead, performances run 7:30 p.m. April 12-14 and 19-21, and 2:30 p.m. April 14 and 21. Narrated by Bert, a jack of all trades, the musical sets off to the streets of London to meet the Banks family. The Banks children have just driven away the last of a string of nannies with their unruly behavior. George Banks is absent too much from the family with his work at the bank, and his wife Winifred is distracted as she tries to fit into Lon-

don society unsuccessfully. Mary Poppins flies in, literally, bringing magic and whimsy along with structure and order. She takes Jane and Michael Banks on memorable and magical activities. Mary Poppins’ influence does not stop with the children but rather extends to the adults as the Banks family learns the meaning of family and that “anything can happen if you let it.� There are loads of magic and even more dancing in the production. A highlight is a tap dance scene in which Bert (played by Jon Butler), dances up one side of the proscenium, across the top of the stage, and down the other side. Besides Butler, other cast members include Kelly Solberg as Winifred, Max Taylor as George, Sofia Kemeny as Jane, Sophie Herzog as Michael, and Kaitlin Johnson as Mary Poppins. Five students from Sioux Trail Elementary will be part of the cast in honor of the Minnesota School of Excellence Award their school received this year. The entire school will be treated to a private performance, too. There has been a pretty intensive research and design area for set builders, Mark VanderWoulde and Nick Wolf. In addition, there are far more scenes needed in this show than in any other in recent years. Tickets are available online at https://burnsvillehighschool.thundertix.com/. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door; however, it is likely that some performances will be sold out. Tickets are $12 adults, $11

seniors and $10 for students.

Crayons for Cancer’s Crayon Party Crayons for Cancer and the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America are celebrating National Crayon Day 2018 with a Crayon Party 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31, inside the Crayola Experience. At a Crayon Party, kid-safe crayon slicers are used which cut a slit in the crayon wrapper making it easier to remove. The crayons are then broken into smaller pieces and sorted by colors to prepare them for melting to make Crayons for Cancer. (There will not be melting at this event.) At the event, the nonprofit organization will give out some of its finished Crayons for Cancer in exchange for a financial donation. Donation amounts are used for the following: $5, parking pass; $8, one family meal; $15, coloring books with crayons or markers; $15, general supplies (books, magazines, activity books); $30, food pantry; $35, sibling play; $35, pet therapy; $40, Family Resource Center, one hour of service; $70, social work; $75, one hour of chaplaincy. In Minnesota, Crayons for Cancer raises funds for the Cancer Kids Fund at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. More information is at crayonsforcancer.org.

Zoo introduces two new Amur tigers The Minnesota Zoo recently welcomed two new female Amur tigers to the 485-acre campus. The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto, from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Both tigers can be seen in Tiger Lair along the outdoor Northern Trail. Zookeepers have been working behind the scenes to successfully create companionship between the two young tigers. “Both females are getting along really well,� says Trista Fischer, Northern Trail assistant curator. “Callisto’s mellow personality has benefited Aurora, as she has become a calmer, more confident cat. These two like to spend their days chasing each other through the snow and snuggling up in the front window of our Tiger Lair. For these girls, there is no better enrichment than a good buddy.� The zoo is currently home to five endangered Amur tigers. “The Minnesota Zoo serves as a leader in wildlife conservation around the world and is home to the Tiger Species Survival Plan,� says Dr. Tara Harris, vice president for conservation and Tiger SSP coordinator. “Aurora and Calisto, along with the other Amur tigers at the Minnesota Zoo, are aweinspiring ambassadors for their endangered wild counterparts. It’s our mission to create those invaluable connections between animals and our guests, to inspire people to care, learn more, and act to save wildlife.� The largest of all cats, the Amur tiger is a top predator of far eastern Asia. Its thick fur protects it against the extreme cold and icy winds of winter, while its stripes help render it invisible to prey. Amur tigers are carnivores, eating mostly large mammals such as deer and wild boar. They will travel over extensive forest territories in search of food. With its stealth, speed, and sheer strength, the Amur tiger is well-suited to its role as a hunter. Poaching of the tigers themselves and their prey is the primary threat to the Amur tiger’s survival. Due to conservation efforts, Amur tiger numbers have increased from as low as 20 or 30 around 1940 to approximately 500 today. Through the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign, the Minnesota Zoo supports efforts to improve anti-poaching patrols in the Russian Far East and to close old logging roads in order to prevent poacher access.

Photos from Minnesota Zoo

The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto (also above), from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Coordinated by Minnesota Zoo staff since its initiation in 2012, the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign and its supporters have raised nearly $1 million for on-the-ground projects that are helping save wild tigers. The public can learn about and contribute to these efforts by visiting tigercampaign.org and facebook.com/tiger-

campaign. The Minnesota Zoo is also one of 15 coalition members that comprise the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (altaconservation.org). These coalition members pool their resources to help support conservation efforts for wild Amur tigers and leopards. Funds contributed by the Minnesota

Zoo have helped monitor wild populations of these highly-endangered cats in the Russian Far East. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org. The zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and an institutional member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
