School Board members signaled their willingness Feb. 21 to consider school boundary changes in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191. Superintendent Randy Clegg will prepare recommendations for new boundaries that would take effect in 2014-15. He’ll also prepare a plan for allowing families to choose their elementary school. The recommendations are expected in June. Boundary changes have

Which Wich opens in Eagan by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

Eagan residents have a new choice when craving sandwiches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that carries some unusual and varied options. Which Wich Superior Sandwiches opened on Feb. 19 next door to Sports Clips at 2000 Rahncliff Court in Eagan.

Its most unusual sandwich is the Elvis Wich, which contains peanut butter, banana, honey and bacon. The restaurant also has a variety of vegetarian options such as a black bean patty, caprese, hummus and Mediterranean sandwiches.

Educators talk special ed funding, safety U.S. Rep. Kline holds roundtable by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

roundtable panelist Jim Meyer of Education Minnesota. “Our members don’t want to carry guns,” said Meyer, a political organizing specialist with the teachers union. Responded Kline, “I can’t imagine a piece of federal legislation that would mandate teachers carrying guns.” Lakeville School District Superintendent Lisa Snyder said her district has focused on mental health and training staff to handle crises in the moments before police arrive. Special education funding under IDEA has long been considered an unfulfilled promise by many educators. Congress promised when it passed the act in 1975 to fund 40 percent of each state’s excess costs of educating students with disabilities. Instead, the federal government provides 17 to 20 percent of the funding, critics say. The special ed funding gap costs Minnesota school districts $600 million a year, Northfield Superintendent Carl Richardson told Kline. Talk of full funding has persisted for years but “doesn’t seem to move off the dime,” said Jane Berenz, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan superintendent. “Then let’s do it first,” Kline told educators. “But that means not everything else is going to get the money you want it to get.” The commitment made in the law when it was passed in 1975 won’t be fulfilled, Wabasha-Kellogg Superintendent Jim Freihammer said, adding that the nation is “sinking” in debt. “It’s a 40-year mandate and we haven’t done anything about it in 40 years,” he said. “It’s not going to happen.”

In preparation for an upcoming congressional hearing, U.S. Rep. John Kline steered part of the conversation toward school safety at an education roundtable Monday. But the panelists, mostly school officials from Kline’s 2nd District, seemed more interested in special education funding than in guards and guns. “For every dollar that has to go to special education that’s unfunded, it takes away from another student,” said Roz Peterson, a Lakeville School Board member. Kline said funding to schools through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a perennial topic between local educators and the federal government. He urged local officials — and his colleagues in Washington, D.C. — to push for special education funding first before new programs such as the Obama administration’s Race to the Top or technology purchases. School safety was on Kline’s mind because the Burnsville Republican chairs the House Education and the Workforce Committee, which was holding a hearing on the topic two days later in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut. “We can harden the schools all we want ... and it’s not going to stop the incidents from occurring,” Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Superintendent Randy Clegg said. Locking down schools and posting armed guards won’t solve deeper problems in a country with more such massacres than any in the world, he said. “We shouldn’t be looking at making our schools more secure than a prison,” Clegg said during the roundtable, held at Diamondhead Education Center in Burnsville.

Kline expects across-the-board budget cuts

Better water flows from better thinking

by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK

Second District U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, said during a State Capitol visit Monday, Feb. 18, he expects sequestration or the federal across-the-board budget cuts to begin March 1. When asked if he thinks the public knows what’s going on in Washington, he responded: “No, people don’t understand. In part because it’s very, very confusing.” Kline said there are continuing budget resolutions being considered in Congress to delay sequestration, but these will not prevent the across-the-board cuts. He said he dislikes the idea of across-the-board cuts, because they don’t reflect any prioritization. Kline, House Education and Workforce Committee chairman, said the committee will soon begin hearings on the issue of school safety. Kline stressed that he preferred states and school districts to decide school safety issues rather than Washington, but the retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel offered a personal opinion on the question of teachers carrying guns in classrooms. “I think I would rather have an armed teacher than a gunman going wild,” he said. Kline is considered by pundits a possible Republican candidate to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken next year. Kline neither embraced nor dismissed the idea. “I will make a decision on what I am doing sometime in the summer,” Kline said.

Opinion Keeping government data open is an ongoing campaign Eight dollars to take a photo of a public document? Eight bucks, the district court administrator’s office in Little Falls told a reporter who requested not a copy of the document, but the mere “privilege” of shooting it. That’s a fanciful interpretation of Minnesota data privacy law, which clearly prohibits unreasonable charges for access to government documents. The public mustn’t nap when it comes to safeguarding its rights concerning public data and the overriding presumption of Minnesota law: that all government data are public unless expressly closed by law under exceptions that include privacy rights for individuals. News organizations are usually the ones complaining when access to public data is barred or hindered, but Chapter 13 of the Minnesota statutes is for everyone. Data-practices experts outside the press include state Rep. Mary Liz Holberg, R-Lakeville. She recently introduced legislation to not only guard against public employees wrongfully accessing data but to spread sunshine in the form of reports on violations. “We’re really, really tired of it,” Holberg said, referring in part to a former Department of Natural Resources employee who improperly gained access to

ECM Editorial 5,000 Minnesotans’ drivers-license records. Experts include citizen activist Rich Neumeister, who has waded into the one of the latest quagmires: buyouts of public school administrators under separation agreements. Neumeister worked with state Rep. Pam Myhra, R-Burnsville, last year to pry open future government secrets after the controversial and mystery-shrouded $255,000 buyout of former BurnsvilleEagan-Savage school administrator Tania Chance. Ever vigilant, Myhra is taking another crack this legislative session at tightening the portion of data privacy law that stipulates what the public is entitled to know about such deals. Why? Because the West St. Paul School District recently paid Henry Sibley High School Principal Robin Percival $64,590 to resign without saying why she resigned or received a buyout. The fact that Myhra’s amendments from last year are not lawyer-proof shows that keeping government open and accountable is a continuous campaign. Her new legislation attempts to further clarify exactly which public offi-

cials are subject to disclosure edicts in $10,000-plus buyouts. It reinforces a requirement already on the books that specific reasons for the buyout be disclosed. That requirement proved toothless in the Burnsville case, the details of which may never be known to anyone but insiders. Finally, Myhra’s amendments call for a description of the nature of the “acts, omissions, or other events that gave rise to potential liability, if the agreement releases the government entity from potential liability.” In the Burnsville case, Tania Chance agreed to release her claims against the district as part of the separation. Myhra’s attempt to uncover the nature of such claims could be thought of as the “What part of tell us the truth don’t you understand?” clause. The clearer the disclosure requirements are, the less school districts and other government entities will have to wring their hands over liability for releasing private personnel data. Everyone wins, especially taxpayers. State advisory opinions issued last year in 15 open records and data practices cases show that efforts to cover up are still routine and are routinely met with efforts to pry open. The opinions hold much good news for sunshine advocates. A sampling: The Minnetonka School District

erred when it provided only a summary of the superintendent’s contract to a citizen who requested the entire contract. The district had decided that only part of the contract was unprotected “public data.” The Minneapolis Police Department was wrong in refusing to provide a copy of a squad-cam video of a traffic stop. The department had claimed that the video was private personnel data because it showed the actions of an officer under internal investigation. The previously mentioned BurnsvilleEagan-Savage district was wrong to redact portions of the Tania Chance separation agreement based on the district’s claim that it contained private personnel data. But another portion of that advisory from the state commissioner of administration said the district was not required to “create data” in response to a data request, and therefore was not required to provide additional specific reasons for the separation agreement. We hope Rep. Myhra’s amendments are approved in the interest of less lawyering and more sunshine. This editorial is a product of the ECM Editorial Board.

Tell the governor he can’t be pro-jobs and anti-business by David C. Olson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK

Gov. Mark Dayton’s proposed budget has put Minnesota in the national headlines, and that’s not good. He proposes huge increases in taxes and spending with little reform in either. Policy-makers across the nation are seizing the opportunity to make a pitch to Minnesota businesses. Rep. Erik Severson, a Duluth native now serving in the Wisconsin Legislature, fired one of the first salvos with a press release inviting companies to cross the border. Many may scoff at his open letter to Minnesota businesses, calling it premature and nothing more than a publicity stunt. But the underlying message cannot be lost: Minnesota can expect more serious efforts to lure businesses away if the governor’s anti-jobs measures are passed. Rest assured, many are watching closely to see what happens.

Guest Columnist

David C. Olson

From a Wall Street Journal editorial: “Washington may be a tax reform wasteland, but out in the states the action is hot and heavy. … This state reform trend is a rare bright spot in the current hightax era, and it will further sharpen the contrast in economic policies between GOP reform governors and the uniondominated high-tax models of California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts and now Minnesota, where Gov. Mark Dayton proposed a huge tax hike. Let the policy competition begin.” From Fox News: “A Florida Repub-

lican congressman is welcoming to his home state Minnesota residents who migrate south to escape the Midwest’s notoriously cold, harsh winters – now that their governor is trying to impose a socalled snowbird tax on them. ‘Dear Governor Mark Dayton,’ Rep. Trey Radel wrote. ‘… As a Floridian, I am overjoyed to hear about your plan to raise taxes on Minnesotans, most especially the so-called snowbirds. Your proposal gives us a chance to shine here in the Sunshine State.’ ” In fact, I was personally approached by Florida Gov. Rick Scott during a meeting with my colleagues from around the country. He told me matter-of-factly, “I hope Governor Dayton’s menu of tax increases passes.” A day doesn’t pass that business owners don’t share their alarm over the governor’s measures. We hear your concerns loud and clear and are working full time to underscore your priorities with policy-

makers. There is no substitute, however, for business owners and managers bringing your message directly to those who make the decisions that impact your daily operations. We make it easy on March 13 at our 20th annual Business Day at the Capitol. The governor will be on hand to address the luncheon and field questions; then we’ll transport you to the Capitol for prearranged visits with your legislators. Scott Wine, chairman and CEO of Polaris Industries, will deliver the keynote address. Please join us for what traditionally is the largest business lobbying day at the Capitol. A record-breaking attendance is more important than ever this year. David Olson is president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce – www.mnchamber.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Don’t take away right to selfdefense To the editor: The peoples of civilized nations love to proclaim their virtues that they believe make them an integral part of the “civilized world.” Among the most important of these virtues is the rejection of all forms of violence at any level as a means of solving problems. Their abhorrence of violence is codified into laws so that criminal behavior can be chastised and punished in a non-violent manner. Civilized nations, reluctantly dragged into war, even abide by the rules of “just war doctrine.” The belief that all citizens of civilized countries will voluntarily conform to the desires of a majority has had horrific consequences. Today many of the victims of these ideas are the innocent victims of criminals. The quixotic belief that civil societies can control the acts of its violent members with more laws is dangerous. Laws which disarm the victims as well as the criminals have caused much harm.

Unfortunately, those whose penchant it is to not conform to the rules of a just and civil society are not affected by more laws. Those who pay for this naivete are those who comply with the laws that make them unable to defend themselves. The time is now to tell our legislators taking away the right to self-defense is the antithesis of a caring and civilized society. RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

A breath of fresh air To the editor: Saturday morning I had the pleasure of attending a Town Hall meeting hosted by state Sen. Jim Carlson, DFL-Eagan, and state Rep. Sandra Masin, DFL-Eagan. There was no rethoric, no easy answers, just a balanced discussion of the issues they were facing in their various committees and the possible solutions that seemed to be emerging. I came away with a better understanding of what is happening at the Capitol and with a sense that, at the end of the session, Minnesota will have

been moved forward. What a difference an election can make. JOHN W. FOX Eagan

Sequestration equals frustration To the editor: The lack of discussion of sequestration, the threat in Congress of massive cuts that will come if representatives and senators don’t act, is a failure of elected officials to govern and work for the good of all Americans. Low approval ratings for Congress and state legislators, 20 percent or below, show that citizens are disgusted with the crises generated by elected representatives. It wasn’t always like this. Before extreme stands by fringe groups, there were efforts to govern in an inclusive way. There were differences but moderates sought mutual solutions. That’s not happening now. When congressional leaders made it clear their primary goal was to defeat the president, they set the stage for gridlock. Many

filibusters later, after state government shutdowns, and failure to support relief for people suffering from Superstorm Sandy (including by U.S. Rep. John Kline, RBurnsville), it seems there’s insufficient interest in working for the American people. It’s just about grabbing power, gerrymandered districts, and voter suppression. It’s to protect the richest 2 percent, while seniors see cuts in Social Security benefits, and the unemployed lose support as they struggle to survive the recession. We shouldn’t just blame one party for the gridlock. We should loathe the stubbornness and remember the inaction at the next election. Unfortunately that’s almost two years away. Some intend to continue being mean and destructive, undermining the economy and frustrating the will of the people to get anything done. It’s a sorry situation for our country and state.

Rain gardens are great To the editor:

Sometimes you just have to brag about something wonderful. Thank you to those who have made the Dakota County partnership with Blue Thumb possible. Like many readers, I first learned about Blue Thumb from coverage in this newspaper. By teaming with homeowners, Blue Thumb has clearly documented that proper rain garden installation significantly improves water quality in our county while adding beauty and benefitting wildlife. My husband and I decided to join the program. From the beginning, I was impressed. The staff taught us the hows and whys of rain garden design and installation in well-organized presentations with great documentation and plenty of humor. During the next phase where we met in smaller groups to design our specific rain gardens, the leaders showed both expertise and patience. During installation, our assigned staff members, Mike and Lacey, made multiple home visits to guide us every step of the way. Their encouragement and experience was truly the best part of the program

(even though the cost sharing part of the program covered almost half of our expenses for a larger than usual rain garden). Thanks to this program, I feel good knowing less water is running into the street picking up contaminants on its way to the nearest wetland. I love having native species supporting migrating and permanent at-risk species. Instead of looking over my kitchen sink to see a soggy marsh for days after a rain, I will now see a lovely garden that will continue to grow in beauty in the coming years. Because of Blue Thumb, this is happening in yard after yard in Dakota County, and the benefits are multiplied. Blue Thumb took our sweat equity and turned it into a beautiful, practical garden. Classes are already starting, and I encourage homeowners who want an affordable way to keep Dakota County beautiful and healthy for generations to come to try out a Blue Thumb class. If your experience is like ours, you will be glad you did. KIM MENARD Lakeville

in accounting for many years. The scoliosis inhibits his lung function and caused one leg to be shorter than the other, Johnson explained. But his life is full. “I’m doing the volunteering and exercising,” he said. “I drive a car. I live a pretty normal life. I go to the State Fair.” Johnson comes to Fairview Ridges on Mondays and Thursdays for a wellness and exercise program, which he said includes treadmill and weights. “Between January last year and this year, I lost 15 pounds,” he said. “It’s helped me a lot with the breathing. I don’t have to use as much oxygen as I used to. There’s not as much weight on my lungs.” Johnson is one of about 550 adult volunteers at Fairview Ridges and a “very dedicated” one, said Debbie Hummel, the hos-

pital’s volunteer services leader. The adult volunteers and 152 junior volunteers 14 and older devoted more than 68,000 hours of service in 2012, Hummel said. Johnson’s work assembling information packets for incoming patients is indispensable, she said. “I don’t know how it would get done, I honestly don’t,” she said. “The nursing staff is here for patients. These are clerical items that people just don’t seem to have the time to do, but they’re important. It would be much more costly if we had to send this kind of stuff out to be put together by a third party.” John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

A computer printout tallying Carl Johnson’s volunteer hours at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville runs four pages. Soon he’ll need a fifth, and surely more to follow. The 40-year-old Eagan resident has logged 532 hours over 202 visits since he started volunteering in October 2008. Johnson puts together education packets for patients on the hospital’s third floor, which houses a medical surgical unit and the intensive care unit. Johnson, who has restrictive lung disease and scoliosis, has been an ICU patient himself and considers his regular Wednesday volunteer gig a way of giving back to the hospital. “This is where I want to be,” Johnson said. “I like it. I blend in with everyone. I know a lot of people here. They know me. It’s a nice place to volunteer, and a nice place to get treatment.” He first came to Fairview Ridges in December 2006, with pneumonia followed by respiratory failure. A ventilator allowed him to breathe. “That’s why I’m on oxygen” today, Johnson explained. “I use a vent at night when I sleep. I hook it up to the trach. I had the trach put in in January 2008.” Johnson had two more hospital stays in the year after his first, which included insertion of the tracheotomy tube. “That was the best-case scenario for me if I wanted to live,” said Johnson, who lives with his mother and older sister and worked

Education 191 board approves budget framework by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

The Burnsville-EaganSavage School Board voted 6-1 Feb. 21 to approve a general fund budget plan for 2013-14. No cuts are proposed in the plan, which raises general-fund spending from $111.76 million this

school year to $114.97 million next year. The proposal relies on general fund reserves to bridge an estimated $4.82 million gap between revenue and spending. The proposal is a framework that precedes formal budget adoption, which is required by June

30. Board Member Paula Teiken cast the lone vote against the plan. She said she’s concerned about the plan’s shift of $1 million in special education salaries to the general fund and whether special education will get enough money. Teiken also said the

plan doesn’t reflect the board’s interest – based on improved revenue forecasts – for restoring some staffing that had previously been cut. She cast the lone “yes” vote on her motion to table the budget plan. “It’s just a framework,” Board Member Jim

Schmid said, adding that changes can be made before final adoption. “I can only see us adding staff,” he said.

Serial burglars arrested after chase by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

Two serial burglars were arrested after leading police on a highspeed chase through Eagan. Eagan police arrived at the 1300 block of Balsam Trail East at about 3 a.m. on Feb. 22 after receiving a call about a possible burglary. The man who called police, said he saw two unknown men run out of his garage toward a parked truck in front of his house. Police later determined the truck was stolen from Burnsville. Police found the men standing outside the truck and attempted to approach them, but the two men ran. Officers followed for approximately half a mile through freshly fallen snow. When they reached the 4300 block of Andromeda Way, the men allegedly entered a home and stole a van parked in the garage. Other officers in the area caught up with the van driving on Wilderness Run Road in Eagan. The van raced through the neighborhood and turned west onto Diffley Road. The men allegedly continued at speeds of about 75 mph until the driver lost control and crashed the van near the intersection of Diffley and Blackhawk roads. After crashing the van, the men ran about a fourth of a mile before being arrested by police. Both men have lengthy criminal histories for burglary and theft charges. An investigation by Eagan police revealed the men allegedly burglarized five occupied homes in Eagan and made off with vehicles, a snow blower, computers, electronics and cash. The value of the property hasn’t been determined at this time. Eagan police were assisted by the cities of West St. Paul, Rosemount, Apple Valley, Burnsville and the Minnesota State Patrol in the incident. Both men are being held at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings pending charges related to burglary, theft, and fleeing police in a motor vehicle.

After DWI, Lakeville North activities director steps down

Dalseth Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

Bob Ertl heads for classroom next fall by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Lakeville North High School Activities Director Bob Ertl, who in December pleaded guilty to drunk driving last June, has agreed to step down from his position effective July 1, 2013. The Lakeville Area School Board approved at its Feb. 26 meeting the proposal for Ertl to instead return to the classroom next year as a social studies teacher. Ertl did not return phone calls or emails seeking comment, and District 194 Administrative Services Executive Director Tony Massaros said Ertl will not speak publicly about the agreement. When news of his DWI arrest became public in January, Ertl expressed remorse about the incident publicly, granting interviews with several media outlets, including Sun Thisweek. “He’s really valuing his privacy now, and hoping members of the media would respect that,” said District 194 Communications Director Linda Swanson. Massaros said the agreement with Ertl was reached this week, and did not have anything to do with recent discussions with the School Board

Robert Ertl searching for $3.5 million in budget cuts. One of the options being considered is reducing the number of activities directors in the district, although the process is fluid and the board has not made any final decisions. As activities director, Ertl was scheduled for a $3,475 raise on July 1, 2013, going from $97,850 to $101,275 under terms of his three-year contract that began in 2011. The change for Ertl to return to the classroom was placed on Tuesday’s Lakeville School Board consent agenda along with several other position changes. Consent agenda items are generally passed at public meetings with one motion and not discussed individually unless a

board member pulls it for discussion; Ertl’s position was not referenced during the meeting. Ertl, 47, pleaded guilty Dec. 20 to gross misdemeanor DWI after being arrested June 7, 2012, when he tested with a blood-alcohol level of .13 percent. The 20-year District 194 employee received a stayed jail sentence but was fined $615 and given two years of probation, ordered to serve 10 days of electric monitoring and perform 240 hours of community service. Ertl apologized in January for “the negative impact” the incident may have had on the district and said he was “taking action to get his life in order,” including going through treatment. The district then also stated Ertl had demonstrated for months his commitment to positively resolving the matter. Court records show Ertl was also charged with DWI in 2008, but in a plea agreement the charges were dropped to careless driving.

& Chiropractic, physical therapy help to heal injuries BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER Randy Miller doesn’t plan to let his body’s aches and pains slow him down. The 60-year-old Lakeville resident likes to stay in shape by staying active. In fall 2011, a year-and-a-half ago, he injured his left shoulder while playing golf. “It only hurt really when I took the club back in my back swing and I’d just feel this kind of pulling,” he said. “I’d go out and play and be really sore for a couple of days afterwards.” He was diagnosed with a slight tear in his shoulder’s rotator cuff. After an MRI, a surgeon recommended surgery but Miller decided to try chiropractic treatment instead. Miller’s therapies included massage, stretching exercises and treatment with a percussor, a hand-held tool that vibrates against the body. With significantly less pain in his shoulder, Miller has returned to the golf course. “It’s kind of a lifestyle that I like to live, with being able to go play golf or play basketball

or lift weights,” he said. “It’s kind of my routine I do or try and do each week.” Miller is just one of the many Americans who visit a chiropractor to treat health conditions. A 2007 government study showed that 8.6 percent of American adults use chiropractic or osteopathic therapies. Some osteopathic doctors provide manual manipulation or massage as part of their treatment, according to the Mayo Clinic. Adults most often use complementary and alternative medicine treatments to treat back or neck pain, joint pain or stiffness as well as arthritis, according to the study by the Centers for Disease Control. Miller was treated by Dr. Loren Stockton, chiropractor and owner of Health for Living Chiropractic clinic in Burnsville. Stockton uses principles of applied kinesiology and manual muscle testing to diagnose problems. The chiropractic technique isolates individual muscles and tests them for resistance and strength. Stockton also

uses conventional diagnostic tests, such as blood tests. “Whenever there’s disturbance between the local tissues, whether it’s the vertebrae, the muscle, etcetera, there’ll be weakness associated with that,” he said.

said. He tests for allergies to wheat or dairy products by placing a small amount of gluten or dairy extract in the patient’s mouth and observing how the body’s muscles react. Muscle weakness shows a harmful reac-

Treatments include spinal or joint adjustments, myofascial therapy and nutrition counseling. Applied kinesiology methods can also detect sensitivity or allergy to foods or environmental chemicals, Stockton

tion to the substance, he said. “Something in the nervous system is adversely reacting to that substance,” he said. Treatment can include an elimination diet, which eliminates the harmful substance for a

few weeks, and then retesting the patient. Treatments are designed to help bring the body into balance, he said. “It’s about being able to pursue life vigorously, enjoy it, being able to sleep at night and be a participant.” Physical therapy offers another way to treat musculoskeletal and pain problems. Treatment goals at Reynolds Rehab Physical Therapy clinic are relieving pain, improving function and allowing patients to resume activities of daily life, said physical therapist Jonathan Reynolds. Much of the therapy involves treating damaged soft tissue like muscles, ligaments or tendons. Many patients have acute injuries like sprains or strains, said Reynolds, who owns clinics in Eagan and Minneapolis. Despite surgery or other treatments, others have chronic pain from headaches, back or shoulder pain that has lasted for weeks, months or years. Treatments include ischaemic compression, which involves applying pressure to a muscle’s

painful trigger points, helping to relieve pain and loosen muscles. “Sometimes the treatments that we do are uncomfortable or sometimes painful, but they actually help to relieve discomfort because of the fact that you’re freeing up tension in the muscle and in so doing, you’re stimulating the blood supply,” he said. Reynolds also uses joint mobilization techniques that involve gently stretching adhesions or soft tissue bands that can develop around a joint after an injury. For example, he will manipulate a sprained ankle in different directions to break adhesions around the joint. Minimizing pain allows patients to do the strengthening and stretching exercises that are so important to recovery, he said. “Relieving pain and restoring mobility helps us to get them back to a functional level much, much quicker,” he said. “It gets them back closer to their normal activities of daily living, whether it’s walking or lifting 50 pounds to get back to work.”

Massage can provide pain relief BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER Think of massage and you might think of pampering, relaxation and stress melting away. But massage can also be a way to relieve pain and muscle tension, improve blood flow and restore joint movement, according to the Mayo Clinic. About 25 percent of adult Americans have had a professional massage, according to a 2012 survey by the American Massage Therapy Association. Of the respondents who had at least one massage in the last five years, 43 percent reported that they received it for health conditions such as pain management, injury rehabilitation, migraine relief or overall wellness. Massage therapists use a wide range of techniques. Massage therapist Kar-

en Bauer often combines several treatments in a single session, matching the techniques to her clients’ needs. “My style is more integrative, so I do use a lot of different things at once. But then it just adds to the whole healing process,” she said. The techniques are effective with migraines, lower back and rotator cuff pain, tendinitis and sciatica. Deep tissue massage is the mainstay of her business at Balancing Life’s Journey Massage in Eagan. Bauer uses deep pressure on the connective tissue and painful trigger points, sometimes using her elbows and forearms. “Trigger points are the main cause of pain in different areas,” she said. “I can essentially inactivate those trigger points,” she said. “A lot of people’s chronic back

or lower back pain or sciatica can be just turned off, because the muscles are not tight anymore.” During a session, Bauer may also use reflexology with deep pressure on the feet, where reflex points are believed to correspond to different parts of the body. She uses acupressure by pressing on the top of the shoulders or the thumbpad, the fleshy area between the thumb and index finger. If she notices that a client’s breathing is congested, she might add aromatherapy, using pungent eucalyptus. v often works away from painful areas, to avoid aggravating injuries and allowing the body to rest and heal itself. “You get the full benefits of a massage by doing the whole body because then it can balance itself out,” she said.

Women with Low Thyroid Many people live their lives suffering from low thyroid symptoms. This is especially true for females. Thyroid hormones control all your metabolism, and when thyroid hormones are low they cause all the cells in your body and mind to slow down. These symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, sweet cravings, depression, sluggish thinking, thinning hair or hair loss, and cold hands and feet. For some people digestive problems like constipation and acid indigestion may signal low thyroid. Even when taking thyroid medication, many people continue to suffer from the symptoms of having low thyroid. Some people are even told their lab tests are normal but still continue to endure the symptoms of low thyroid. However, there can be a solution for symptoms from low thyroid! Dr. Phil Gilman DC FMA FASBE, a published thyroid researcher and chiropractor, is holding a seminar to discuss low thyroid symptoms. His research shows that while blood tests are valuable in evaluating thyroid dysfunction, often the basic tests are inadequate in finding the underlying causes of low thyroid. For example Dr. Gilman’s published research showed that

liver function affects low thyroid. This research also showed that low thyroid persons have a observable posture and testable muscle weakness. There are six patterns of thyroid dysfunction and only one of them responds well to thyroid medication. That is why so many have been disappointed in their results. During the seminar Dr. Gilman will reveal the number one cause of low thyroid in the United States, why many women taking replacement hormones won’t get better, six patterns to thyroid problems, and why doctors don’t run complete thyroid tests. He will also discuss the one food that is often involved in low thyroid and how to test for it. In addition to exposing these truths about thyroid treatment, Dr. Gilman will also discuss natural solutions to help thyroid problems. Due to the high demand and sensitivity of this information, seating for Dr. Gilman’s private thyroid seminar is limited. It will be held Tuesday, March 5 at 6 pm at Holiday Inn Express, 1950 Rahncliff Ct., Eagan, MN 55122. Please call 952-300-2260 to reserve a seat today!

vote against proposal that disregarded district policies by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

The Lakeville School District funded an estimated $12,500 all-expenses paid extended field trip to Tampa Bay, Fla., for six male high school students and three district staff members, Feb. 19-23. The selected students and staff missed three school days to attend “Black, Brown & College Bound,” a national summit held at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel designed to encourage African American and Latino males to graduate from high school and attend college. The district covered all meals ($945), $289 per night lodging at the Marriott ($5,202), air travel and transportation ($2,697) and registration ($3,675) for students, Lakeville South High School dean Shaun Murphy, Alternative Learning Center Principal Cliff Skagan and School Success liaison Ray Hawes. Featured at the conference were African American and Latino professors, authors, scholars, cultural critics and activists whose presentations were designed to encourage students who may face significant obstacles to complete high school and attend college. Students who attended were invited to join the advisory panel for the InterCultural Alliance of Student Scholars leadership team, a post in their schools they would be expected to retain through senior year. The Lakeville School

Board approved the trip on a 4-1 vote Feb. 12. Board Member Bob Erickson said he abstained from the vote because he served on the state Integration Revenue Replacement Task Force charged with recommending changes to the state’s racial integration funding. Board Member Jim Skelly cast the dissenting vote, citing concerns about the trip’s cost when the district is struggling with millions in budget cuts, lowered enrollment and staff layoffs. Skelly also questioned the fairness of paying for all expenses in relation to other groups who have to raise funds for their trips. He also pointed out several variances from district policy in the request process and the district’s funding of the trip. District 194 policy specifies that, except for one adviser/coach, all expenses associated with an extended trip, including lodging and transportation “must be garnered from the participants and fundraising.” The policy allows for exceptions under two circumstances: if it is the result of advancement in a Minnesota State High School League sponsored tournament or “in the face of emergency conditions.” In an interview, Skelly said this was not an emergency. “There wasn’t a tornado or anything,” he said. During the meeting, Skelly also raised concerns that the request itself disregarded from district policy because it was made to the board seven days before the trip was scheduled. District policy says there should be 30-day notice period before any extended field trip. That directive is printed at the

top of the extended field trip request form filled out by staff. The policy says district staff cannot discuss an extended field trip with students and parents before it is fully approved by the School Board. Both those policies were not followed because district officials first wanted to ensure they had some students of color who were interested in attending before making the board request, according to District 194 Teaching and Learning Services Director Barb Knudsen. She also said they had just recently learned about the conference. Dated signatures on the form indicate activities Director Neil Strader and principals at both high schools were asked to approve the request in early to mid-January. District Superintendent Lisa Snyder signed off on the request Feb. 5, a week before it was brought for board approval. Knudsen said the conference would help the district meet its integration goals, reduce disparities and build student leadership qualities. Board Member Michelle Volk said she also had concerns about how close the trip came to not meeting board “guidelines,” but supported student involvement in the program because few are encouraged to go to college and there they would be encouraged by passionate speakers to seek higher eduction. Staff who attended the trip would not speak to the newspaper about it, but District Equity Coordinator Cynthia Hays said she wanted to go and described the trip as “awesome.” See TRIP, 11A

Judge to reopen drug lab hearing Independent investigations find more problems by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

A Dakota County judge has ordered a new hearing this spring to determine if laboratory equipment at the St. Paul Crime Lab could have contaminated other drug evidence used in multiple drug convictions. Dakota County Judge Kathryn Messerich on Feb. 21 granted defense attorney Lauri Traub’s motion to reopen the FryeMack hearing to consider Photo by John Gessner evidence of forensic invesPatricia Eriksen of Burnsville is heartsick over the theft tigative reports that found of an urn containing her late husband’s ashes and is more problems at the St. determined to retrieve it. URN, from 1A not sure. They just didn’t know what they were doing.” Eriksen admits to leaving her front door unlocked when she left for Florida, knowing her nephew would return home later that day. “I’ve always felt safe in Burnsville, and I’ve never locked my door in Burnsville,” she said. “Now it’s always locked, and I’m getting a home security system. When the cows are out of the barn.” The items were stolen from her bedroom except for a Dell laptop that was in the family room, Eriksen said. Her nephew arrived to find the front door open and her bedroom drawers removed from the dresser and placed on the bed, she said. She reported stolen the glass canister of coins; a bag of coins; miscellaneous jewelry including a gold butterfly ring with three rubies (one missing), a gold butterfly ring with four emeralds and a silver bangle bracelet engraved with “To Mary from Bro. Bob;” a navy blue laptop with the Dell emblem in the corner; and the urn. It’s a rectangular urn bearing a car-racing emblem with a steering wheel, checkered flags and a helmet. The urn is secured by four screws on the bottom. David Eriksen’s name is not engraved on it. The emblem marks the Eriksens as a racing family. The adult children in their blended family, son

Shannon and daughter Jennifer, did the driving, Eriksen said. Their last endeavor was racing sprint cars. David, who was 58 when he died of esophageal cancer, was the “crew chief,” his wife said. “He just got the power to the ground.” She wondered at first whether David’s sister who lived in Apple Valley took the ashes for sentimental reasons. “I thought maybe she was feeling nostalgic, coming up on his threeyear anniversary,” Eriksen said. Tragically, the woman was found dead of a heart attack in her apartment on Feb. 17, Eriksen said. “Everybody’s looked at all her stuff, and she didn’t take them,” Eriksen said. “It’s just some kid who didn’t know what they were.” Jennifer Eriksen, David’s 32-year-old daughter, picked out the urn for her father’s funeral. “This is the only thing I want back,” Patricia Eriksen said. “I describe all the other stuff, and that’s only to help me get back to this. Coin don’t mean anything. But this is my daughter’s last connection to her dad that’s still here.” Eriksen said anyone who might have information about the urn may call her cell phone at (651) 249-9163.

TRIP, from 10A She said it was a “kick-off for our leadership initiative,” and that they expect the students to come back and serve as mentors. Hays said they hope to make the trip an annual event, but it is dependent on integration funding, a hot-button topic in the TEEN, from 1A several factors including confidence, poise and eloquence. The fitness portion of the contest will test the girls’ strength, endurance and flexibility through solo and group routines. As Deysach prepares for Saturday’s competition, she’s focusing on practicing the fitness portion. “I wasn’t as fit as I thought when I started,” she said. “It’s fun to see how far I’ve come since the local program.” As in most contests, contestants are able to perform the talent of their choice. Deysach plans to perform a baton twirling routine. All contestants sub-

Paul Crime Lab than had already been uncovered during testimony that started last summer. Dakota, Washington and Ramsey county attorneys also announced an agreement to vacate drug convictions since July 1, 2010, if drug evidence retesting determines a negative result or the drug evidence used in a conviction is unverifiable. All samples that retest negative or lack evidence will result in vacated convictions. In cases where the evidence is destroyed or unavailable, the files will be reviewed for corroborating evidence. Dakota County courtroom testimony last year revealed chronic and significant deficiencies in

testing, procedures and training that led to the Minnesota Public Defender’s Office recent request for retesting of prosecutions dating to 2001. Those problems were recently confirmed and heightened by two independent investigations that showed evidence contamination at the lab, reports that did not accurately represent written testing results, confusing and inconsistent evidence cataloging. “In one case, Wikipedia was used as a technical reference,” Integrated Forensic Laboratories’ report stated. That agency also found parts of the testing instruments “very dirty,” contaminated and “degradation past acceptable

Legislature. During the meeting, Board Chair Roz Peterson said the board was given a short time to do “a lot of research” to ensure district dollars were wisely spent. “This isn’t a rubberstamp board,” she said, calling this particular case an exception to the rule. “We don’t just let things slide by without trying to

do our homework,” Peterson said. “I would advise the staff to try to get their field trips in a timely manner … so we don’t have a panic attack and go through what we went through this weekend.” In an interview, Skelly said he “could not support expenditures of nearly $13,000 to send a handful of students on a field trip

mitted their high school transcripts, ACT or SAT scores and a recommendation from their guidance counselor prior to the event. Deysach was a top finalist in the local program called At Large, which enabled her to compete in the state finals. At Large is a local Distinguished Young Woman program for teens who don’t have a distinguished program in their hometown. Deysach heard about the program from her church youth group leader, who encouraged her to enter. Deysach said she wasn’t sure about entering at first but was intrigued by the contest’s focus on academics and talents instead of

beauty. “I like that I’m able to show who I am as a person,” she said. “This is more about being a good person who is smart, healthy and the best person I can be.” Although Deysach lives in Eagan, she and the other contestants will stay with host families in Burnsville. While there, the girls will be disconnected from the Internet and cellphones to rid them of all distractions from the task at hand. If Deysach receives the title of Minnesota’s Distinguished Young Woman, she will earn a college scholarship and advance to the national competition in June in Mobile, Ala. As of Feb. 27, the organization was in the process of collecting funds for

The Minnesota Public Defender’s Office is also reviewing past convictions for the possibility of seeking post-conviction relief. The hearing will be at 9 a.m. May 3 in Dakota County.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 1, 2013 13A

Sports Wildcats close with two victories at state Eagan takes girls hockey consolation title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Before leaving the ice following the final shift of her high school hockey career, Eagan senior Megan Wolfe looked back and surveyed Ridder Arena, knowing she will be back there next season. Wolfe, who has signed to play for the University of Minnesota, will call Ridder Arena home ice for the next few years. But, with all due respect to their U of M hosts, some of Wolfe’s Eagan teammates might hope it’s the last they see of that rink for a while. Ridder Arena is where state tournament consolation bracket games are held. By winning their final two games at state and winning the consolation championship, the Wildcats hope they have reversed some recent ugly history at state. Now the goal is to get back to Xcel Energy Center and try to stay there by making a run at the title. The Wildcats believe they’re not that far away – especially after watching Lakeville North, a team they tied for the South Suburban Conference title, take eventual Class AA champion Minnetonka to six overtimes in the semifinals before losing. “Oh yeah, I thought

Eagan, Eastview advance to final Neighboring schools battle for boys hockey section title SUN THISWEEK

Eagan last played in the state boys hockey tournament about 12 months ago. For Eastview, the wait has been a little longer – say, 12 years. One of them was going back after Thurs-

day night’s Section 3AA championship game at the State Fair Coliseum. No. 1-seeded Eagan and No. 3 seed Eastview won semifinal games Saturday night to advance to the final. The championship game took place after this edition went to press; for

Eagan finished fourth at the Section 3AA boys swimming meet, but the Wildcats seemed to get the most out of their points as they sent athletes to state in 11 of the 12 events. The only event in which Eagan did not have a state qualifier is the 200yard freestyle, and a Wildcats swimmer just missed advancing in that race by less than half a second. Eagan had one section champion – senior Bill Leighton, who won the 50 freestyle at the Section 3AA meet in 21.65 seconds. Leighton also is headed to state in the 100 freestyle after placing third in 48.34. Sophomore Eli Broman also advanced in two individual events. Broman placed fourth in the 200 freestyle in 1 minute, 59.51 seconds and fourth in the 100 butterfly in 53.49. Two Eagan divers will compete at state after taking second and third. Senior Keith Krawza was the runner-up with 410.50 points, less than six behind the section champion. Toby Heller, a junior, scored 371.60 to finish third.

For Apple Valley, a wrestling first No. 2-ranked Eagan wrestler advances by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Apple Valley’s 20 state team championships and 30 consecutive appearances in the state tournament going into this season were unmatched in Minnesota high school wrestling history. But still, last week the Eagles found something do to that they had never accomplished before. For the first time in school history, they qualified someone for the state individual tournament at every weight. They completed the 14-for-14 performance Saturday in the Section 3AAA individual tournament at Burnsville High School. They’ve come close to doing it before. The last two years, the Eagles had state qualifiers at 13 of the 14 weight classes, Apple

The Wildcats started fast in Saturday’s consolation final against North Wright County, taking a 4-0 lead in the first period. Wolfe scored three of the goals and Kelsey Walsh had one.

Valley High School athletic director Pete Buesgens said. The state Class AAA individual tournament starts at 5 p.m. Friday at Xcel Energy Center. Finals will be Saturday night. Apple Valley’s state qualifiers included three wrestlers who won individual championships last season – Maolu Woiwor, Seth Gross and Mark Hall. Woiwor (375) was section champion at 113 pounds after winning state at 106 last year. Gross (19-1), who missed about half of the season because of an injury, won two matches by fall and one by technical fall on his way to the 132-pound section championship. His state title last year was at 120. Hall (41-1) will com-

pete at 152 as he goes for a third consecutive state individual championship. The ninth-grader pinned two opponents at the section tourney and won the title match by technical fall. Also qualifying was Eagles senior Danny Woiwor (39-3), a state individual champion two years ago. He was first at 160 in the Section 3AAA tournament, winning all of his matches by pin. Eighth-grader Zach Chytka (30-12) won the section title at 106. Junior Gannon Volk (35-7) was the champion at 120 after edging Reid Lyden of East Ridge 6-5 in the semifinals. Ninth-grader Brock Morgan (29-13) took first at 126. Sophomore Dayton Racer (26-1), a state runner-up last year, was section champion at 145.

Apple Valley senior David Johnson (20-1) edged Rosemount’s Sam Moeller 2-1 in the section championship match at 182. Junior Trom Peterson (29-13) defeated Eastview’s Jack Buck 10-9 in the 195-pound final, and junior Paul Cheney (37-4) had a bye and two pins on his way to the title at 220. Three Eagles wrestlers advanced to state by taking second place. Senior Scott Mattison (22-18) defeated Austin Swanson of Rosemount in the true-second match at 138. Jackson Graham (27-13), a junior, was second at 170 and junior Josh Hyeamang (28-16) won a truesecond match to advance at 285. Maolu Woiwor, Gross, Hall and Danny Woiwor See WRESTLING, 14A

The Wildcats’ top relay finish was third in the 200 medley. Zenner, Griesgraber, Broman and Leighton finished in 1:38.33, less than twotenths of a second out of first place. Tal Shub, Griesgraber, Lemke and Leighton were fourth in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:29.82 and beat the state qualifying standard. Broman, Zenner, Lemke and Shub advanced in the 400 freestyle by finishing fifth in 3:19.68. State Class AA diving preliminaries took place Thursday.

He’s one of only four swimmers to qualify in less than 1 minute. In the 2012 state meet, Albert was runner-up to Rosemount’s Jacob Stern, who now swims for Gustavus Adolphus College. Albert also was section champion in the 200 individual medley in 1:56.50 and is seeded fourth in that event at state. Charlie Kollasch, a senior, also advanced in the 200 IM by finishing third in 1:59.39 in the section finals. He took third in the 100 backstroke in 54.22, beating the state cutoff time by more than 1 second.

Blaze skaters get another crack at Edina by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Burnsville returned to the Section 2AA boys hockey final, and the Blaze saw a familiar opponent at Mariucci Arena. For the third consecutive year, Burnsville played Edina in the section championship game. The game took place after this edition went to press; for an update, visit www.sunthisweek.com. Burnsville had some unpleasant recent history with Edina. Since being assigned to Section 2AA for the 2007-08 season, Burnsville has reached the section final three other times but lost each game to Edina. The Hornets won 6-3 last year and 3-2 the year before. The teams played a non-conference game Jan. 3 with Edina winning 3-2.

Burnsville (17-9-1) defeated Prior Lake 2-1 in a Section 2AA semifinal game Saturday at Braemar Arena. Although the Blaze had finished second in the South Suburban Conference to Prior Lake’s fourth, the Lakers were seeded second and Burnsville third in the section. Prior Lake defeated Burnsville twice during the regular season, both by shutout. The Blaze ended the shutout streak against Prior Lake on junior forward Tyler Sheehy’s goal at 8:22 of the second period. Junior forward Dylan Weigel scored at 5:48 of the third period to make it 2-0. The Blaze defense and goalie Chris Mallon kept Prior Lake off the scoreboard until the final See BLAZE, 14A

Apple Valley Eagles senior Andrew France won the 100 freestyle at the Section 3AA finals and leads a group of Apple Valley swimmers that qualified for state in seven events. France swam 47.99 in the Section 3AA finals, finishing about two-tenths of a second ahead of Rosemount’s Sheldon Hatlen. In an unusual circumstance, sophomore Aaron Olson qualified for state out of the section consolation finals. His preliminary time in the 100 butterfly was not fast enough to put him in the top eight, who advance to the championship heat. But he swam

Eastview The Lightning had several wrestlers with a chance to make it to state, but only Jacob Rukavina advanced. Rukavina, who placed second at 160, is a two-time state qualifier. A key match for Rukavina at the section tournament was his 3-2 victory over Burnsville’s Lucas Eagan’s top line did most of the damage against East Ridge. Cullen Willox had two goals and two assists, Zach Schultz scored twice and Zach Glienke had a goal and two assists. The Wildcats defeated Park of Cottage Grove 5-0 in the section quarterfinals Feb. 21 as Josh Loew had two goals and one assist and goalie Andrew Lindgren made 21 saves. Eastview (17-9-1) had consecutive 4-0 shutouts of Rosemount and Apple Valley in the first two rounds of the section tournament. The Lightning went into the section final seeking its second trip to the state tournament and first since 2001. Eastview and Apple Valley split two one-goal games during the regular season, but the Lightning was off and skating after junior forward Cole Cooper scored on a breakaway at 11:37 of the first period. Mitch Beattie and Nick Abbott added goals in the second period and Ryan McNamara scored in the third. Jake McGlocklin had two assists and Driscoll made 21 saves.

Grossoehme in the semifinals. Although Rukavina lost to Apple Valley’s Danny Woiwor in the final, he did not have to wrestle for true second because Grossoehme, a wrestler he already defeated, took the third-place match. Thirteen Eastview wrestlers placed in the section tournament. Third-place finishers were George Farmah (126), Anthony Munos (152) and Jack Buck (195).

Burnsville The Blaze does not have a state qualifier, although several wrestlers came close. Michael Ramirez (106), Alonso Quintana (145), Lucas Grossoehme (160) and John Dahl (220) all finished third in their weight classes. Ramirez and Dahl lost in matches for true second. Grossoehme (30-9) had the Blaze’s best record. Driscoll stopped 21 shots as the Lightning shut out Rosemount in the quarterfinal round.

a school-choice plan, new boundaries are needed first, Clegg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the attendance boundaries will address many of the tensions right now that exist,â&#x20AC;? he said. Over time, freer movement of families between schools could make the boundaries less important, he said. Clegg has recommended east and west clusters of five schools each from which parents on each side of the district would choose. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last look at boundary changes involved new lines that would have sent 774 elementary students to different schools. The plan, recommended by a boardappointed facilities task force, was dropped in early 2010 after a wave of parent protest. Clegg is also preparing a set of elementary-school boundary guidelines, a recent draft of which calls for no school with 10 percent more or fewer free and subsidized meal students than the district average. It also calls for allowing students to remain in their current school until they complete its top grade. The superintendent, who is retiring June 30, has given the board much to consider beyond attendance boundaries and school choice. Since last fall, he has also proposed adding ninth grade to Burnsville High School, closing the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior campus at Diamondhead Education Center and selling the building, maintaining two junior highs (grades seven and eight) instead of three, and consolidating several district programs at the centrally located Nicollet Junior High in Burnsville. The expanded high school program would require a building addition and bond referendum, according to Clegg. John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Carlson attends â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bike MNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rally This week at the State Capitol, proponents of bike riding held a rally in the Capitol rotunda to promote safe and increased biking. State Sen. Jim Carlson, DFL-Eagan, spoke at the rally, which featured former U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great to be around so many other bike enthusiasts,â&#x20AC;? said Carlson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biking is a great way to stay healthy and help the environment.â&#x20AC;? When addressing the crowd, Carlson discussed SF 206, his careless driving/vulnerable user bill. The bill allows for a gross misdemeanor charge if someone is driving carelessly and causes death or substantial bodily harm to another person, including vulnerable users (i.e., bikers and pedestrians). One focus at the rally was on keeping children safe as they bike to school. In 2009, more than 23,000 children, ages 5-15, were injured and 250 kids were killed by cars while walking or biking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biking to school needs to be safe for our children. It is a great way for children to be more physically active, as well as help the community economically. We need to ensure we have the infrastructure and policies in place to protect our kids when they walk and bike,â&#x20AC;? Carlson said.

GRANT, from 1A the Twin Cities. “I said to him, ‘Why in the world would I buy a hotel and eatery, and where is Rush City?’ ” she recalled. “He said to check it out and see.” So she made the trip north in June of last year and instantly fell in love with what she saw and felt upon setting foot in the front entry. “Right when I walked in, I knew I had to have it. It was mine,” she said with enthusiasm. “I remember saying, ‘This is beautiful, this is beautiful.’ It kind of spoke to me. The rest is history, and I jumped in with both feet.” In her first days as owner, Johnson said she “Barbified” the place by dressing the dining room tables with fresh, new tablecloths and putting her collection of antique china on display. Also helping out have been her daughter and son-inlaw, Shannon and Dan Clarke, who are minor partners with a share of the ownership. In switching from the government world, which had Johnson serving thousands of troops being transported to the Middle East earlier in her flying days, to smalltown business ownership, she admits she still feels stress, but in a different way. She consumed herself with thinking about the hotel and restaurant all last summer. And it has yet to stop. “I’m feeling more stress because I want to get The Grant House up to speed,” she said. “When I purchased it, I saw a lot of things I wanted to do immediately. For one, I wanted to redecorate all the rooms in the hotel.” Johnson calls herself a “repurposer,” meaning she likes to use things that are secondhand, things that had meaning in another’s life at some point. She began collect-

Johnson firmly believes The Grant House has a life of its own. “She has decided to survive. She found me. I had no intention of buying anything. I was retiring and going to work part time and getting reacquainted with family and all the special occasions,” she explained. Johnson is now cancer free after having been diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. She had 17 surgeries. “The Grant House is a survivor, and I guess I am, too,” she said. “Maybe we can relate.” Johnson is optimistic with the direction The Grant House is taking under her leadership. This spring, she’ll plant flower beds and an herb garden outside to match the beauty on the inside. Always a “repurposer,” she even has a few iron bed frames with head and foot boards from the 1800s that can be used in the flower bed. “It was ready for the scrap yard,” she confessed. Down the road, Johnson wants to install a stone pathway that will take her guests down to the two ponds in the back of the building. She likes the idea of a gazebo in that area, too, for people to dine, read a book and perhaps attend a wedding ceremony one day. She also wants to have a few old quilts on hand, so people can have a good old-fashioned picnic with kids running around or a romantic outing with wine and wine glasses. “This vision is in my head,” she said. “I know exactly what I want. I want people to enjoy the outside, too.” Johnson added, “I’m anxious to get started. I have people volunteering to help me plant flowers. People are so interested in donating things.”

around six years and likely seven figures on the renovations. “It took a lot of love and vision of grandeur to renovate this girl from the way she started out, and it took him four years to complete the woodwork,” she said. Yet it was never in good enough shape to open for him at the time, she added. She has learned about the unique relationship between The Grant House and the community that’s housed it since 1880. “Rush City was an integral part of the hotel, and the hotel was important to the town. It has stood the test of time, as other businesses have come and gone. The Grant House has survived. Somewhere in her bones she has the will to live in spite of all,” Johnson said. She’s proud of her staff, as all 14 employees who worked for Johnston are still on duty. The Grant House reminds her of growing up in a small town outside of Lakeville where her mom and dad were proprietors of a gas station. “I didn’t expect this kind of family environment,” she said of the bond she has with the staff. “I’ve forgotten what this is like, what a small town really offers. We have each other’s back, even when life happens.” As for the community, “There are gracious people here in Rush City,” she said. “It’s a wonderful feeling to be here. There is a lot to the town that’s fun and vibrant. People care here.” She added of people’s feelings toward The Grant House, “People really love this place. There’s a lot of pride with people here. It gives me motivation to do more. Customers can expect great home cooking at a great price and great customer service. You just don’t find a Grant House anymore.”

APRIL HAS PERSONALITY GALORE! April has been in our rescue for about 3 months. She has a sweet, adorable, innocent little face. April is very outgoing, friendly, and affectionate. She is only 2 years old and is already spayed and declawed. We have been amused by getting to know her and have found out that she is a kitten in an adult catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body and LOVES to play! April has spunk and personality galore and has a definite opinion about things! She is VERY affectionate and wants to be your constant buddy. Because April does not get along with other cats she has to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;locked upâ&#x20AC;? to keep her separate from the others in her foster home. She desperately wants to be able to stretch her legs and enjoy her freedom again and to be able to warm your bed every night as she has been prevented from doing so for 3 months! If you are looking for just 1 cat then this is definitely a wonderful kitty worth looking at. She will certainly thank you for being let out of prison/solitary confinement! April is very good with dogs in her foster home. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interact with them but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind having them around. Adoption Fee $160. Contact Kathryn at 952913-9295 or kaylupp@gmail.com. You can check out April and other cats and dogs on our website www.last-hope. org or see them in person at our adoption day at the Petco in Apple Valley Saturday from 11-3.

Thisweekend Choral concert bridges the generation gap Youth choirs will join MN Valley Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale at March 9 concert The Minnesota Valley Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale is bringing male singers of all ages to the stage for its concert next week at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. The 60-member menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir will be joined at the 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 9, concert by the Minnesota Boychoir, as well as the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choirs from Rosemount and Apple Valley high schools. Each choir will perform individually, with the event culminating in all the groups joining forces for the final number, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let All Men Sing.â&#x20AC;? The idea behind the show is to bring together multiple generations of singers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the school-age vocalists with the Boy Choir, ranging in age from 7 to 18, to the two high school groups and the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale, whose members run all the way from college age into the mid-70s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to get young men singing and to make it a lifelong activity,â&#x20AC;? said Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale director Steven Boehlke, a former high school choir instructor who retired from Rosemount High

School in 2000. The performance at Grace Lutheran is the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choraleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut â&#x20AC;&#x153;scholarship concertâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no charge for admission, but a free-will offering will be taken with proceeds going to the newly established MCMV Scholarship Fund, with a scholarship awarded later this year to one area high school choir participant. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;scholarship concertâ&#x20AC;? is the first performance this year in the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choraleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary season. It will be followed in April by the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual spring concerts with the Minnesota Valley Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale. Those performances are scheduled for April 12 at the Church of St. Joseph in Rosemount and April 13 at Shepherd of the Valley church in Apple Valley. The Apple Valley-based Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorale is a non-audition choir that is open to new memPhoto submitted bers.
