A committee of parents, students and district staff will read the book and meet Dec. 3 to hear from the couple and discuss the book’s fate. The 11-member committee will then decide whether to remove the book from school libraries. The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 4:30 p.m. at the District Office at 3455 153rd St. W. in Rosemount. Only a handful of books have been challenged in the past two decades, said Tony Taschner, spokesman for District 196.

191 attracts business Aging not hilarious, but can be funny Burnsville partners, grant funds by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

New partnerships with businesses and grant funders are on the rise in School District 191, which will benefit students focused on postsecondary studies and careers, the School Board was told Nov. 19. Recent outreach efforts have attracted potential new business partners and new grant money for career-readiness programs. “It really does take all of us to help our students become college- and career-ready,” said Curriculum Director Kathy Funston, who has led much of the effort. Potential new links to job shadowing, internships and other opportunities have been cultivated in the last six months, according to Funston. New grant funding includes some $200,000 for a collaborative called Burnsville Promise and

$47,000 for employment mentorships for East African students, according to Funston. A series of exchanges between teachers and area business leaders yielded 38 school partnership opportunities businesses may be interested in exploring. Board members encouraged the efforts. A decade ago, “to try and get businesses to engage in public education was frankly kind of a challenge,” Board Chair Bob VandenBoom said. “They were very busy, they had enough workers and so forth. And now what you find is a lot of businesses are really struggling to find the types of workers that they need to produce their products and services. So it’s a very exciting time, from my perspective, because you can clearly see that there’s a win-win in it.” Twenty-eight leaders See PARTNERS, 15A

The working title of Brenda Elsagher’s new book, “Aging Hilariously,” wasn’t working. The veteran author, motivational speaker and comedian solicited essays on the topic through women’s writing groups and social media. “I got one ‘tee-hee’ and two adventure stories from older women — no hilarious stories, none,” the 59-year-old Burnsville resident said. So she assembled a focus group of women in their 50s, 60s and 70s and had it video-recorded. “I spent a lot of money for 10 minutes of conversation,” Elsagher said. “They pretty much said: ‘No, you cannot age hilariously. There is no such thing.’ ”

Eagan business brings optical care in home Betty’s Mobile Optical opened to serve people with disabilities, now includes busy families by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Driving to the local eye clinic to try on new glasses is often an exhausting task for Burnsville’s Ellen Heitzman due to multiple sclerosis. So when she heard a new business called Betty’s Mobile Optical offers in-home optical care, she immediately gave it a call. “It’s made a huge difference,� Heitzman said. “It made it so much easier.� Heitzman and her 86-year-old mother, Jane, have become regulars since Betty’s Mobile Optical opened nearly two years ago. Betty Leervig was inspired to open the business after noticing many elderly clients at a local optical clinic where she worked struggled to get to appointments due to

Prior to each visit, Leervig asks clients to send photos of themselves to help her determine which frames would best complement the person’s facial structure, hair and eye color. Then she meets clients in their homes with a selection of frames. Once the person makes a choice, she sends the information to a local lab to fit the lenses. “She really gets right. I don’t have to sit and try on so many glasses like I’ve had to at other places,� Heitzman said. Betty’s Mobile Optic doesn’t currently offer eye exams but offers transportation for patients to their optometrist appointments. Leervig said she hopes to hire an optometrist to provide inhome exams. When she’s not working on clients glasses, Leervig volunteers at local senior living facilities where she provides free

eyeglass adjustments. Client referrals and a banner on her car are her only marketing tools, Leervig has generated about 100 clients over the past year and half. What began as a service aimed at helping elderly people and those with disabilities, has expanded to include busy families. “Many of my clients don’t have time to go to an eye clinic and this provides a convenience for them,� Leervig said. With business picking up, Leervig has moved operations from her Eagan home to a small office space in Burnsville for bookkeeping and storage.

Finding missing girls involved extensive police effort Mom left girls at ranch in 2013 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Diligence, teamwork and patience led Lakeville police last week to discover two teen sisters missing since 2013 living at a ranch 190 miles from home. Samantha and Gianna Rucki, now 17 and 16, were found Nov. 18 at White Horse Ranch in Herman, Minn., after they were dropped off there by their mother, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, four days after they disappeared from their Lakeville home April 19, 2013, according to a Nov. 23 amended Dakota County criminal complaint. Grazzini-Rucki, 50, has for years denied any knowledge of the girls’ whereabouts or involvement in their disappearance.

She was arrested Oct. 18 at an upscale Florida resort by U.S. Marshals on a Dakota County warrant and is being held in the Ramsey County workhouse on $1 million bail. Grazzini-Rucki faces three more counts of felony deprivation of custodial rights, for a total of six felony counts each carrying fines of up to $4,000 and a maximum sentence of two years, according to the amended complaint. The complaint states the night the girls disappeared in 2013, their paternal aunt, who had been granted temporary custody, told police she believed the girls had been picked up by GrazziniRucki. The girls’ father, David Rucki, was granted full custody of all five of the couple’s children in November 2013. Grazzini-Rucki allegedly found help keeping the girls’ location from

their father by an underground network of people who claim family courts are corrupt. During a contentious divorce from David Rucki, Grazzini-Rucki claimed he abused her and the girls, but police found no evidence to substantiate the claims. Their oldest son, Nico Rucki, 19, told the newspaper their mother used “fear� and “scare tactics� to make the children fear their father and separate him from them. Despite uncooperative witnesses, false leads and Grazzini-Rucki’s silence, Lakeville police Deputy Chief John Kornmann said investigating officers remained diligent to bring Samantha and Gianna home. He said fellow Lakeville officers took on extra workloads so officers involved in the case could focus on locating the girls. The teen girls have been brought to Dakota

County and are being well cared for, Kornmann said. “Their well-being, everything about them, is the primary focus,� Kornmann said. He said officers involved in the investigation have issued 12 warrants in the past four months and “each of them provided a bit of information to another clue� as to where the girls might be located. Grant County Sheriff Dwight Walvatne said their department worked with Lakeville police to get a judge’s signature on a search warrant, and were there along with U.S. Marshals and four Lakeville police officers to serve the warrant at White Horse Ranch. The nonprofit organization, founded by Doug and Gina Dahlen, describes itself as a Christian ministry for abused horses and children. Kornmann said officers did not know the girls were at the ranch until

they knocked on the door. He said the girls were cooperative and did not try to hide or run. Walvatne said it appeared as though the girls were “being well taken care of,� and one of the ranch owners was present and also cooperated with police. He said there were no other children present and police have never had any problems with anyone at the ranch. “It was almost an anticlimactic conclusion to a long, long drawn-out investigation,� Kornmann said. Kornmann credited investigators in the Lakeville Police Department, describing the search as “a dedicated effort by the whole organization.� He compared looking for the girls to the story of Hansel and Gretel, who laid a trail of bread crumbs after they were lost but the crumbs were eaten by others.

“People were trying to make those bread crumbs disappear,� Kornmann said. “The trail of those girls, they wanted to cover up and make sure the clues to finding those girls were gone.� Walvatne added Lakeville police briefed them on the case before the warrant was served and credited them for putting in a “tremendous amount of time and resources� in finding the girls. He said they have gathered significant information that has to be reviewed by the Grant County and Dakota County attorneys’ offices. The Dakota County Attorney’s office is asking that the Rucki family have privacy at this time. Grazzini-Rucki’s omnibus hearing was slated for Tuesday after this edition went to press.

Opinion Insights from interviewing applicants to replace me by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

You learn so much by interviewing people for jobs. Over the past month, several great colleagues and I have listened to people who wanted to be the new director of the Center for School Change, where I’ve worked for 26 years. Here are a few things I learned by listening to these folks. When asked “Why do you want this job,” don’t begin by explaining that you are ready for the responsibility that the job offers. The most impressive answers include explaining why you believe the organization is doing important, exciting work. Then describe how you could help the organization accomplish its goals. Those are the attitudes and skills that organizations, whether nonprofit or forprofit, are seeking. The wisest job applicants have studied the organization to which they are applying. They demonstrate an understanding and support for what the organization is trying to accomplish – whether it’s a fast food franchise, a school, a company or anything else. Second, don’t submit what appears to be a generic resume. If you care about the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan job, refine your resume at least to some extent. Show why or how you would be a good fit for this particular job. Based on previous experience, we asked people to submit answers to a few questions along with their resume. This helped us screen out a number of applicants. If the job description does not ask such questions, strongly consider listing, in a cover letter that accompanies the resume, a few examples showing how you can help the organization. Third, be prepared to be specific. We heard generalities from many applicants. If the job involves writing, bring some writing samples to the interview. If it involves creating something, be specific about what you’ve created. If the job involves accomplishing certain goals, be ready to describe specific accomplishments in previous jobs. Next, listen carefully to the questions.

Letters BHS epidemic: Inappropriate use of cellphones during class time To the editor: This past spring and fall, several acquaintances told me Burnsville High School’s quality of education had been slipping badly over the last few years because most (not all) of the administrators and teachers were no longer enforcing the rules about students inappropriately using cellphones during class time. I didn’t think these “rumors” could possibly be true, so, once school started up again in September, I checked the matter out with a wide variety of teachers and students (all of whom prefer to stay anonymous). Here’s the consensus of what these teachers and students told me: • Inappropriate use of cellphones is truly the epidemic I had heard about. • Students use cellphones to text, surf, listen to music, and cheat on tests. • Inappropriate use of cellphones occurs in 99 percent of BHS classrooms every single day (despite the efforts of the few concerned teachers). • While cellphone misuse is less widespread in honors classes, in the nonhonors classes, fully half the students are off task and paying no attention whatsoever while they fiddle away on cellphones for large portions of every class period. • During class time, 90 percent of the BHS teachers no longer bother to enforce the school’s policies about cellphone misuse. • Most teachers have fallen into this lack of cellphone-rules enforcement because of little or no support from most of the BHS administrators. What an out-and-out travesty! How can the vast

majority of the BHS staff be letting our school slip into being nothing more than a convenient sluffand-bluff for 75 percent of its teenage students? It’s high time that the superintendent and board step in and insist that no BHS teacher or administrator be allowed to throw in the towel and look the other way in regard to student misuse of cellphones. Enforcing the rules is a tough challenge, but it’s one that educators must embrace. Teenagers are at a life stage in which they can’t be left free to become victims of their own academic indiscretions.

Your readers know you are failing to do your constitutional duty to be unbiased, but you repeatedly lie and deceive your readers and the American people. You should be ashamed to refer to yourselves anything like “revealing the truth.” I could add a long list of half truths on your coverage of local elections as well. You are nothing more than Democratic Party hacks. That is the real truth! TERRY BRANHAM Lakeville

In a perfect world, we would hope for no fatalities of any sort: motorcycle, auto, boating, etc. Efforts to engender a culture and environment of universal courtesy and safety would be heartily supported.

dia. It has been my experience that the people who protest the loudest don’t even own a motorcycle. Why don’t you focus your ardor on distracted drivers who still insist on using their phone while driving? I feel the same about mandatory seatbelt use; I have worn one since 1970 by choice, but I don’t want the government coming into my car to force me to wear it “for my own safety.” However, your article is skewed in that: “riding without a helmet can cause serious injury or death.” Really? I’ve done it thousands of times and I’m not dead. All the riders I know are responsible, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. The legislature has enough to do – let them help the many thousands who have been screwed by the economy and leave bikers alone. Don’t tread on me. JOE BRABEC Apple Valley

Key is crash prevention To the editor: Regarding the Nov. 14 editorial “Time for mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists,” it is clear that the ECM Editorial Board has fallen into the same trap as most of the nonriding public: that mandatory helmet use will ensure a motorcyclist’s safety. You should also do more research before using the seat belt to helmet comparison. Seat belts are one part of an automobile passenger safety system along with air bags, collapsible steering columns, crush zones, etc. Also, your “rising insurance rate” theory has been refuted so many

times I am surprised that it was mentioned in the editorial. While my heart grieves for everyone lost too soon on our roads and highways, nothing will be solved by passing this “one-size-fits-all” mandate. What is needed is a comprehensive study into the initial cause of crashes. These are not “accidents,” and whether or not one is wearing a piece of equipment has no bearing on why or how the crash took place. Rider training and motorist awareness programs are of great benefit. For more than 25 years, ABATE (American Bikers for Awareness, Training and Education) of Minnesota volunteers have offered the “Sharing the Road” program to teenagers during their drivers education class. Tens of thousands of students have received awareness training that lasts a lifetime. ABATE also strongly promotes the motorcycle safety training program statewide. Lessons learned in these classes benefit the student for years and years. These are proven programs that work and do not require heavyhanded legislation. Even with motorcycle registrations at an all-time high, the rate of fatalities per motorcycle registrations has decreased dramatically. While the ECM Editorial Board and others continue to focus on safer crashing, ABATE of MN will do all we can to promote safer driving and riding. The best crash is the one that never happens.

Farmington council member cited Allegations against Bartholomay ‘blown out of proportion,’ lawyer says ter he was on an recent emergency call and another vehicle hit Bartholomay’s Jason Bartholomay vehicle. A c c o rd ing to the complaint, an Apple Valley officer responded to a report on Oct. 26 during the evening hours (the report did not specify a time) of a vehicle driven by an male dressed in a regular T-shirt, with lights similar to a police car. A witness reported other cars slowing down and pulling over. The report did not state that Bartholomay slowed down himself, got out of his car or approached anyone. An Apple Valley officer observed a vehicle fitting the description in the area of 153rd Street and Cedar Avenue and observed what appeared to be flashing blue light reflect off a nearby structure. In the report, Bartholomay denied knowledge of the blue or flashing lights. The officer observed a box that appeared to be used for activating the lights and asked Bartholomay to activate them. According to the police report, Bartholomay agreed to turn over the lights to the police department. The officers also found a siren and a PA box similar to those found in police squad cars. “There was no intent for him to impersonate an officer,â€? Parsons said. “He’s horrified by this. He’s upset because he’s innocent. ‌ Four officers responded to the investigation who where questioning him and he felt like he wasn’t able to get his story across.â€?

Farmington City Council Member Jason Bartholomay was cited with impersonating a police officer in Apple Valley last month, charges his lawyer denies. According to the complaint, the Apple Valley Police Department alleged Bartholomay’s vehicle was outfitted similar to a police car and had its lights activated. “There’s no denying he had these lights, but there was no intent to impersonate a police officer,� Bartholomay’s attorney Hillary Parsons said. She said he had no intent on pulling anyone over. He was cited for impersonating an officer, a misdemeanor, as well as three counts of displaying prohibited lights, all petty misdemeanors on Oct. 26. “This has been blown incredibly out of proportion,� Parsons said. “He’s a licensed therapist and an avid volunteer.� Parsons said part of Bartholomay’s job as a therapist is to respond to emergency situations. In the police report, Bartholomay told officers he responds to situations such as suicide reports. Apple Valley police reported that Bartholomay told officers that he was a chaplain with the Minneapolis Police Department and University of Minnesota. Apple Valley officers reported they were unable to verify Bartholomay’s employment with Minneapolis police. Bartholomay’s attorney said Bartholomay never said he was a chaplain Minneapolis or the university, but rather he works as a contractor as a therapist. Parsons said Bartholomay purchased the equipment on Amazon.com af-

bumped the lights. “We’re not quite sure what actually happened,� Parsons said. “The complaint indicates he was actively pulling people over. There was maybe other cars concerned about the lights, but he didn’t have the intent on pulling anyone over. That’s why I feel the charges are petty. The statute requires intent.� The newspaper contacted the assistant Apple Valley city attorney Christine Cassellius with questions about the statute and clarification on the alleged incident, but she declined to comment on the citation. The statute states, “Whoever falsely impersonates a police or military officer or public official with intent to mislead another into believing that the impersonator is actually such officer or official is guilty of a misdemeanor.� The prohibited lights statute states, “Unless otherwise authorized by the commissioner of public safety, no vehicle shall be equipped, nor shall any person drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any highway with any lamp or device displaying a red light or any colored light.� There are exemptions for emergency vehicles and collector vehicles. Mayor Todd Larson said the citation won’t affect Bartholomay’s role with the city. “It’s a personal situation,� Larson said. “It’s a wait and see (situation). We’ll let the court do its job.� Bartholomay’s first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 10. Bartholomay has been a member of the Farmington City Council for about five years. He started his second four-year term in January 2015.

District 194 board expected to waive parent consent policy Goal is to get more students to answer ‘frank’ survey by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A majority of the District 194 School Board is likely to waive its parental consent policy hoping more students will participate in the Minnesota Student Survey and answer questions the state describes as “frank.� District 194’s policy F-130 requires parental permission before students take the Minnesota Student Survey, which asks them about personal beliefs or practices including religion, sex, alcohol and drug use by themselves or their parents or guardians. Without the policy in place, District 194 will assume passive parental consent as do most Minnesota school districts. Like other districts, Lakeville public school students in grades eight, nine and 11 will be given the option of taking the survey unless parents write to opt their child out of it. While the state is advocating the survey also be given to Minnesota fifthgraders, Lakeville schools will not administer it to those students because of questions involving the age-appropriateness of the questions and the way they are posed, according to Renae Ouillette, District 194 director of Special Education and Student Services. She said district officials have not seen the 2016 version, but based their decision on the previous version “which we, and other districts, believed was not written at

a developmentally appropriate level for elementary aged students.� Ouillette said District 194 instead asks parents of K-five students to complete a free online survey (at sdqinfo.com) that helps identify any students who could be at risk for socialemotional challenges. Parents are asked questions that include whether the child steals, bullies or is bullied by others, thinks before acting, is frequently ill or has many fears. A vote to waive the district’s parental consent policy to administer the MSS was expected to pass at the board’s Nov. 24 meeting, after this edition went to press. At a Nov. 19 School Board work session, most board members indicated they favored the waiver to gain increased participation and more statistically reliable results. When the district waived the policy in 2013, student participation levels in the student survey soared, according to Ouillette. That year, the survey questions had been significantly changed to broaden from a focus on the student to include their parents and family members. At the work session, Board Chair Michelle Volk said she opposes waiving the parental consent policy because she has a passion for protecting student data and parents rights. She cited concerns the questions extend to their families’ behaviors, including living situations, reli-

gious activities, physical violence, income (students are asked if they receive free-and-reduced lunch) and if anyone in their family uses drugs and alcohol. She suggested surveying students with an abbreviated version of the survey, but received no support for the idea. District staff noted the MSS is anonymous and promoted using the state’s version of the survey so the results could be statistically viable and comparable. Ouilette said the results help the district identify areas of concern, compare itself statewide and shape and target district programs to address the “whole child,� including social-emotional issues. She said the results also help the district attract grants and allow various groups, including the newly formed Proactive Approaches to Help Coalition, to assess the needs of the community. The PATH Coalition is comprised professionals and advocates, and is focused on improving mental and chemical health in the community. Volk’s suggestion that parent consent be obtained via email did not gain traction with the board. In a later interview, Volk said there is no reason the district’s opt-in policy should be set aside and she plans to vote against waiving the policy. “I’m thinking that we have a really good policy in place,� she said. “There’s a reason for that, and this

survey goes against that policy on every level.� She noted the 2016 survey asks students about physical and mental problems that have the potential to be embarrassing to students and their families. Volk said it also asks students about any illegal or anti-social behaviors, including stealing, smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol. “They are all self-incriminating,� Volk said. Michele Lentz, president of Minnesota Child Protection League, called the Minnesota State Survey questions “dangerous to children,� in part because the way they are asked assumes they have engaged in the negative behavior. The league advocated for the release of the survey questions prior to administration of the 2016 test. The Department of Education is making the questions available to parents by request in several languages. Lentz said some of the questions ask children how many times they have been pregnant or gotten someone pregnant and asks things about themselves or their partner regarding “the last time� they had intercourse. Lentz questioned if the survey is “simply discovering what issues children are facing or ... normalizing harmful behaviors.� She described the questions as suggestive, invasive and misdirected and said subjecting students to them could lead to poten-

tially harmful consequences. “The perceived needs of social services organizations should never steam roll over respecting and protecting the best interests of individual children,� Lentz said. The newspaper was unable to connect by deadline with an official at the Minnesota Department of Education to respond to Lentz’s comments. At the meeting, Board Member Kathy Lewis, a nurse, said getting the data is “incredibly important,� and cited concerns that if they do not ask children about societal issues, they would be sweeping them under the rug. “I think it’s very crucial to appreciate the fact that there are issues going on within communities,� Lewis said. Ouillette said they will build action plans around the survey data and need “as big a sample size as we can get.� Volk raised concerns about the usefulness of the questions, including if someone in a student’s family has been jailed or in prison. “Why do I need to know this?� she said. Lentz suggested the MSS should ask more general questions that allow students to volunteer what issues concern them avoiding the suggestion that the behaviors are “expected and fairly commonplace.� Board Member Bob Erickson cited privacy concerns about the survey method, noting that while the state will provide

a limited number of penand-paper surveys, but most will be taken online and could be available to a third-party. Jason Molesky, district technology and data services director, said the district will try to get paper copies for the students. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, the limited hardcopies of the surveys will be available to districts on a first-serve basis. Ouillette said District 194 parents will no longer have to make an appointment to review the survey in the presence of a staff member, but instead the questions will be made available for review online by the State Department of Education. The district plans to send parents a letter describing the survey and offering information about how to opt their child out from taking it. Volk said she planned to suggest the letter be amended to note the survey will also ask about the student’s family’s behavior. “It doesn’t say that in the (draft) letter, that it’s also about your family’s behaviors in the home,� Volk said. Even if the amendment to the letter passed, Volk said she still intended to vote against waiving the district’s parental opt-in policy, based on principle.

District 194 seeks fence along Dodd Boulevard Long-delayed road improvements set for 2016 in Lakeville by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville Area School District officials will ask Dakota County to install a chain-link fence as part of its project to widen and improve Dodd Boulevard, the narrow, winding road where Lakeville teen Alyssa Ettl died in a 2013 car crash. School Board members agreed in a Nov. 19 work session to accept the county’s proposed $16,250 settlement for taking about 10,000-square-feet of property for the road improvements. They requested Dakota County install a chainlink fence along the school property to keep stray balls from its fields from interfering with traffic. Upgrades to Dodd Boulevard have been completed on various sections in recent years, but it remains a rural undivided two-way roadway design from 185th Street to the Lakeville North High School entrance at 195th Street. The stretch is bookended with deep ditches and numerous telephone poles lining both sides. Hundreds of high school drivers access the school’s student parking lot through the road each school day. Ettl was on the way to school two years ago when the vehicle she was driving slid on the slush-covered road and broadsided oncoming traffic. Her death struck a blow community-wide that grew to a chorus of calls for road improvements, moving county and city officials to advance the long-delayed project from 2018 to 2016. One of the most public calls for expediting road improvements came in February 2014, when School Board Member Bob Erickson and thenBoard Chair Roz Peterson attended a county meeting with Alyssa Ettl’s father, Matt Ettl. Erickson addressed the board to request the coun-

ty improve Dodd Boulevard sooner than 2018 and said there are opportunities for the school district to become a partner with the city and county and provide right-of-way for the project. “I am offering that,� he said. In its compensation statement, the county asked that District 194 “consider honoring this commitment to donate the land as a way to demonstrate a strong partnership for this improvement project and a cooperative effort to reduce costs for Dakota County taxpayers.� District 194 Board Member Kathy Lewis said she supports the road improvements, but district funds should not fund it, especially since some of its taxpayers live in Scott County. Michael Baumann, District 194 executive director of business services, said the district is not responding to the donation request, but focusing on the offer. He said they will work with the county so that the project remains on schedule. County Commissioner

Liz Workman of Burnsville was chairman of the County Board when Erickson made the statement at its Feb. 4 meeting. Workman said she did not think at the time Erickson was speaking on behalf of the School Board. “I appreciated the gesture at the time, but I don’t know that one person has the authority to speak for the rest,� she said. Workman said it was a “very emotional issue,� and she believed Erickson’s comments were coming from the heart, “but you still need your peers to agree with you.� Dakota County Commissioner Mary Liz Holberg attended the School Board meeting and said she is sure the county and city will come to an agreement. “I think the most important thing is to get the project done and moving and the county stands ready to work with the school district to resolve any of their concerns so we’ll be ready to go in 2016,� Holberg said.

ELSAGHER, from 1A the beginning of aging, really,� Elsagher said. “I’m on the young end.� The topic is a departure for the married mother of two, who built a new career after being diagnosed with colorectal cancer 20 years ago. She beat the cancer and faced life with a colostomy. Elsagher, who said she was raised in a family that coped with adversity through humor, turned a medical crisis and its squeamish aftermath into a foil for laughs. “I didn’t even know I was a speaker until 20 years ago,� said Elsagher, whose first four books — including the peppily titled “I’d Like to Buy a Bowel Please� — were aimed at cancer survivors, health care professionals or people living with ostomies. “I didn’t know I was a writer, I didn’t know I was a speaker, I didn’t know I was a comedian. I had my rectum removed and all these creative things happened to me. What can I say?� Elsagher’s cancer and clean bathroom humor became fodder for books, a stand-up act and a speaking career that has taken her to hospitals, women’s expos and other events across the United State and Canada. She offers the patient’s perspective in speeches to health care professionals, addresses cancer survivor groups and is a longtime advocate for colon cancer screening. In recent years Elsagher has sought to add substance and continuing-education credit status to her talks by studying therapeutic humor through the Humor Academy of the Association for Applied

and Therapeutic Humor. Her first academic project was developing a keynote address on humor and healing for long-term care professionals. Her second was the new book, which Elsagher said was intended for a wider audience than her previous books. As one of the family caregivers for both of her late parents, she can rightly claim some expertise on aging. Her many contributors fill in the rest of the book. “All of my stories I thought were really funny, but I didn’t think there was enough and I didn’t want it all to be about me,� Elsagher said. “I like anthologies.� She has some tasty chapters, though, like the story of “Wheelchair Soup� — the stuff served by her dad after he was confined to a wheelchair in which he pulled up to the fridge and grabbed every ingredient he could reach. In one serving Elsagher found a rubber band. “He said, ‘Well, you know, I didn’t know you were coming, and I had to stretch it out.’ � She writes about her mother, who suffered from dementia for 15 years. “I said to my mom, ‘Guess what, Mom, you won’t believe it — I lost 70 pounds.’ And she goes, ‘Wow, that’s amazing. I’m so proud of you.’ I felt so good. My mom didn’t used to be very complimentary. When she started losing memory, she got very sweet, like a marshmallow. “And so 10 minutes later I said, ‘Mom, guess what, I lost 70 pounds.’ She said, ‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ � Elsagher burst out

laughing at the memory, but the fishing for compliments backfired when she told her mother she’d reached 100 pounds of weight loss. “She goes, ‘Wow, that’s amazing. You must really have been out of control.’ That’s the old mother.� After a lifetime of being heavy, Elsagher pokes some fun at the more slender but more elastic person she’s become in recent years. Cleaning the bathroom one day with newfound energy, she disrobed to avoid getting bleach on her clothes. Repeatedly hearing a “wop, wop, wop� sound, she thought it was a hovering helicopter until she realized it was extra skin flapping on her arm. “I can move a lot faster than I used to — I just have to wait a minute for my skin to catch up,� Elsagher said. There’s nothing funny, she acknowledged, about the chronic disease, mental illness and disability that can accompany aging. “But it is a matter of attitude, no matter what the situation is,� she said, describing her father’s deathbed with family around him, singing and telling funny stories about him as he went. “You want to age: That is the whole point,� Elsagher said. “You want to get one day older, sometimes one month older, one year — you take everything you can. So the whole aging thing has not freaked me out at all. “I’ve been grateful for every single birthday I’ve had. It’s been 20 years just last month since I’ve been diagnosed with colorectal cancer — 20 years. I got to see my children grow up. I got to attend my son’s wedding. This is what I had told the doctor when my kid was just 5: ‘You’ve got to make me well because I want to dance at my children’s weddings.’ �

Sports Eagan rides relay power to 10th place All 3 swim relays reach the finals by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan teams finished in the top 10 in all three relays as the Wildcats placed 10th in the state Class AA girls swimming and diving meet Friday night at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Meanwhile, Burnsville’s lone state qualifier, senior Angela Le, scored enough points on her own to put the Blaze among the top 20 teams. Relays accounted for all but eight of Eagan’s 74 team points in the state finals. The Wildcats were the No. 3 South Suburban Conference team at the state meet, behind Lakeville South (fifth) and conference champion Rosemount (sixth). The Wildcats’ best finish was in the 200-yard freestyle relay, where senior Olivia Mitchell, ninth-grader Jennifer Lenertz, junior Erin Bucki and ninth-grader Jenna Joerger were fifth in 1 minute, 38.09 seconds. Eighth-grader Lara

Mitchell and senior Deidree Voss teamed with Joerger and Olivia Mitchell to finish seventh in the 200 medley relay in 1:47.59. Joerger, Lenertz, Olivia Mitchell and Bucki finished 10th in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:34.73.

Dakota United displays team-first attitude at state tourney

Notebook: winter sports powers gear up for their title defenses by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hawks finish 3rd in PI adapted soccer by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For Dakota United coach Lorrie Buecksler, the second half of the final adapted soccer game of the season represented what her team was about. It wasn’t because the Hawks were leading handily, even though they went on to defeat Park Center 10-1 in the PI Division third-place game Saturday at Stillwater High School. It was the sight of Buecksler’s best player, senior center Grayson Nicolay, refusing to shoot and instead trying to set up teammates for goals. Nicolay, who already had scored three goals in the game, spent much of the second half trying to get the ball to Hawks ninth-grader Cooper Chelstrom so he could score. Chelstrom did get a second-half goal. “Cooper has some balance issues, but he’s the hardest-working kid on our team,” Buecksler said. “He comes to practice early to do some extra work, and usually by the end of practice he’s soaked in sweat because he’s been working so hard. “We have some really good players like Grayson and Riley Wisniewski who could score 10 times as many goals as they do, but they understand this sport and they support their teammates.” The Hawks, seeking their first PI Division championship since 2006, went into the state tournament with high expectations. They went undefeated (6-0) during the regular season, but they played fewer games because a couple of the adapted sports programs in their conference did not have enough player to field PI Division teams.

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) Buecksler said the Hawks expected the competition at state to be more difficult, and they weren’t disappointed. After beating Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville 10-3 in the first round, Dakota United faced its rival and nemesis, Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka in the semifinals Saturday morning. The Robins, who were seven-time defending PI Division champions, won 6-1 to reach the championship game, where they lost to Anoka-Hennepin 2-0. Three times in the Robins’ seven-year championship run, they defeated Dakota United in the championship game. “Robbinsdale is a very difficult team to play,” Buecksler said. “They’re a co-op program like we are, so they have a lot of good players. They’re a superstrong team, but we honestly believed this was the year we’d get past them and play Anoka-Hennepin in the championship game. But we didn’t play

our best game Saturday morning by any means.” Nicolay had four goals and two assists in the opening-round victory over Mounds View/ Irondale/Roseville. Senior forward Benjamin Okke had three goals and Wisniewski finished with two goals and four assists for the Hawks, who finished 8-1. Nicolay and Hawks senior goalie Nick Kuefler were named to the alltournament team. Kuefler, Okke, Nicolay and defender Kevin Johnson are seniors, but the Hawks have 11 players who are ninth-graders or younger. All of the players got into a state tournament game at some point, and two-thirds of them played in one or both of Saturday’s games, Buecksler said. Players such as Wisniewski, a sophomore, and ninth-grader Chuck Schultz will lead the next group of Dakota United PI teams. “Some of our younger

kids have been in other sports, but some others have never been in a competitive sport before,” Buecksler said. “Being in a state tournament format with a lot of people, a lot of noise, and all the intensity, will help them next time.”

Blazing Cats Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville took a 7-2-2 record into the state adapted soccer CI Division tournament but lost both its games. The Blazing Cats opened with a 10-3 loss to North Suburban, the top seed from the North Conference. North Suburban went on to play in the championship game, losing to Park Center 1-0 in overtime. South Washington County defeated Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville 5-0 in the consolation semifinals. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

It’s the high school winter sports season, which means five teams from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area are back to defend state championships. That elite group consists of: • Apple Valley wrestling, which has won 10 consecutive state Class 3A championships – but, if you believe one preseason ranking, is not favored to repeat this year. • Lakeville North hockey, coming off the first undefeated season in the large-school class in 22 years. • Eagan boys swimming and diving, looking to go back-to-back after claiming the school’s first state team swimming championship in 201415. • Apple Valley boys basketball, which opens the season ranked first in Class 4A and is looking for its third state championship in four years. • Dakota United CI Division adapted floor hockey, who won their second state championship – and their first in nine years – last March. Apple Valley is scheduled to open its wrestling season Dec. 3 in a home match against Lakeville South. The Eagles feature two of the nation’s top high school wrestlers – Mark Hall and Gable Steveson, defending state Class 3A champions at 170 and 220 pounds. If Hall repeats as a state champion this year, he will be the first Minnesota high school wrestler with six individual titles. But it’s St. MichaelAlbertville, not the Eagles, who were first in the Class 3A preseason rankings released by theguillotine.com. Right behind Apple Valley at No. 3 is Shakopee, the program former Eagles head coach Jim Jackson is taking over this year. In a bit of additional intrigue, Apple Valley and Shakopee now are in the same section following the Minnesota State High School League’s every-two-years

realignment. Is Lakeville North the favorite to win a second consecutive state boys hockey championship? No, that status went to Eden Prairie, although North is second in the Let’s Play Hockey preseason rankings. But it would be a mistake to underestimate the Panthers, who return quality forwards such as Ryan Poehling, Max Johnson and Henry Enebak. They will start the season with an inexperienced defense and new varsity goalies. The Panthers will open against Stillwater on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Ames Arena. Eagan won the 2015 Class AA boys swimming championship without winning an individual event, which speaks to the Wildcats’ acrossthe-board strength. Several of the athletes who helped make that championship season happen are back, including swimmers Parker Lemke and Jasper Appleton, and divers Nic Lemieux and Alex Crow. Apple Valley opened the boys basketball season Tuesday at Chanhassen in a game that took place after this edition went to press. The Eagles return their entire starting lineup from a team that was 30-2 last season and beat Park Center in the Class 4A championship game. At least three starters have futures in Division I basketball – senior center Brock Bertram, who has signed with the University of Buffalo, and junior guard Gary Trent Jr. and sophomore guard Tre Jones, who are being nationally recruited. The Eagles’ home opener is against Minnetonka at 6 p.m. Saturday. Blake St. Mane of Dakota United was a breakout star in the 2015 state adapted hockey CI Division tournament, scoring eight goals in a semifinal game. He also scored a hat trick in the Hawks’ 4-2 victory over North Suburban in the championship game. Dakota United’s season opener is Jan. 13 against Winona at Eastview High School.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan November 27, 2015 15A

GOP, from 1A dio talk show host, cast himself as the person who could take the fight to the Democrats. He said Democratic candidates will be wellfunded and called himself the most electable conservative in the race. “I’m up to the task,� he said. “We have a rendezvous with destiny.� Lewis said he would be the candidate who would cut the pork, not bring it home. The Woodbury resident (a city that’s outside the 2nd District boundary) outlined several areas that he said he would address if elected, including reducing health care costs, strengthening border security, reducing the cost of attending college, reforming the tax code and eliminating tax subsidies. He said addressing these issues would need bold leadership. “These are the very issues I got in the race to tackle,� he said. “I’m not in this race to have my 15 minutes of fame. I’ve already had it. I’m not in it for a job.� Citing his narrow less than 3 percentage point loss in the 2014 GOP endorsement, Gerson said he was the leader of a grassroots effort that forced current 2nd District U.S. Rep. Kline, R-Burnsville, to retire. The 68-year-old Kline said in September that he was retiring after 14 years because it was time to give someone else a shot, saying the expiration of his chairmanship of the House Education and Workforce Committee played a role in the decision. Gerson said he has invested his life savings into this cause and put his ca-

PARTNERS, from 1A of businesses and community organizations visited schools Oct. 8, with visits at each of the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage district’s 15 schools, Funston said. A collection of comments suggests that many came away impressed with what they saw, including the new technology. “Many of our business leaders, maybe it had been a few years since they were in school, and things have changed,� Funston said. On Nov. 9, more than 140 Burnsville High School teachers and other staffers toured 20 businesses and community organizations, ranging from Best Buy and Bosch Communications Systems to the Burnsville Fire Department, Valley Natural Foods and White Funeral Home. The visiting teachers included ninth-grade teachers who will teach at an expanded BHS starting next year, Funston said. Teachers came away with heightened appreciation for developing students’ intellectual curiosity and communications skills and promoting more peer-led discussions and opportunities to collaborate, according to Fun-

reer as an engineer with Meggitt PLC on hold. “It is a cause for me, not a job,� he said. “This is not my campaign, it is your campaign.� The South St. Paul resident said he is the only person in the race to stand with “you in this race against Washington insiders.� He said he was going to fight against the liberal agenda that is destroying the country. Among the issues he would address, Gerson said he would defund Planned Parenthood and end executive overreach. “I have been in the trenches for three years,� Gerson said. He said he wants to restore people’s faith in representative government. “We are going to take our country back,� he said. Howe cast himself as a hard-working business owner who grew up in a house without running water. The first in his family to attend college, Howe said he hasn’t taken out a personal loan since 1996 mentioning first that addressing the federal deficit was his top concern. When reviewing the candidates, Howe encouraged voters: “Don’t listen to what they say, look at how they live their lives.� Howe cast himself as the candidate who could bring in the conservative Democrats who would be needed to win the election. Benson-Staebler, who was in Italy when Kline made his retirement announcement, said he entered the race since he was upset about what was going on with the refugee crisis as thousands of Syrians are spilling into Europe. He said the refugees are

being handed 50 euros, housing, medical benefits, new clothes, and iPads. “That fits the liberal ideology, it does not serve people,� said Benson-Staebler, who also criticized the Iraq nuclear deal. He said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants to make the United States more like Europe with these policies. “These policies are entirely unacceptable,� he said. “The Republican offering is better. That is what I’m going to prove to us and win for us.� One contrast appeared with Lewis criticized Gerson and Howe for supporting means-testing for administering Social Security benefits, which would have poorer seniors receive more benefits and the wealthy less or none at all. Lewis called that action turning Social Security to a welfare program. On education, BensonStaebler and Howe both advocated for providing financial vouchers to students that would allow them to attend a school of their choice, including religious-affiliated schools. Gerson said he would allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind and Common Core and expand 529 savings accounts. Lewis advocated for eliminating the U.S. Department of Education’s cabinet-level position and making it merely an office.

ston’s report. The business and education camps met again on Nov. 9. Business leaders filled out 38 response cards that could lead to partnerships with the district. Grant funding has also been healthy. Burnsville Promise, a community effort to support young people seeking gainful employment, has attracted about $200,000 from the Greater Twin Cities United Way, the St. Paul Foundation and the Bigelow Foundation, Funston said. A grant to establish mentorship and employment opportunities for East African students has attracted $47,000 from Open Path Resources and Youthprise, she said. “I really appreciate that because I myself am East African, so I appreciate how people of many cultural backgrounds are having opportunities to succeed in careers of their interest,� said Maedin Abegaz, the board’s student representative. The district is one of five that are part of a $10 million grant program to fund 17 “career pathways,� Funston said. Funders are the Greater

Twin Cities United Way and the Joyce Foundation. A $10,000 grant to help fund the certified nursing assistant program that will debut next year at BHS in partnership with Inver Hills Community College was awarded by HealthForce Minnesota Health Sciences. Burnsville-based Bosch Communication Systems gave the district a $21,920 grant to support STEM instruction at the high school, Funston said. Genesys Works will offer internships to students in information technology fields. The district will form a partnership steering committee to review and make recommendations on opportunities to further pursue. “I really love the direction it’s headed,� Board Member Ron Hill said. Business-school partnerships could eventually drive curriculum changes, he said. For one, Hill said he would support a “speech-type class on how to present yourself � in job interviews as a graduation requirement.

TODAY’S THE DAY STOP SMOKING

“Slow but steady� is one way to describe the creative process behind Eagan singer-songwriter Michelle Whalen’s new holiday album. “Incredibly disciplined� is another. About eight years ago, Whalen decided to get serious about her songwriting and set a goal for herself: She’d write one Christmas song, each year, during the holiday season, indefinitely. “Probably in 2007, 2008, I just started feeling like I wanted to be a bit more disciplined with composing,� she said. “Some years I wrote two or more songs, some years just one.� The result is “Christmastide,� Whalen’s 15-track album of new songs and rearrangements of old carols. Whalen will be hosting a free album-release concert at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at the Historic Concord Exchange in South St. Paul. Whalen is set to perform songs from the album with a backing band consisting of Twin Cities musicians who participated in the album’s recording. Whalen, who formerly led the music program at Eagan Hills Church with her husband, Joe, gives voice and piano lessons out of her Eagan home. “Christmastide� is her second solo album; she released “Fringes,� a collection of church worship songs with a jazz influence, in 2007. Whalen raised about $4,900 through Kickstarter to help bankroll “Christmastide.� Funds raised went to cover mastering of the CD, its printing, and the reservation fees for the upcoming album-release concert. She got a break on studio recording fees by partnering with Christian DeLooper, who engineered and co-produced “Christmastide.� The album was recorded between May 2014 and September 2015 at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul. DeLooper, a student at the school, made “Christmastide� part of his senior project, and the recording sessions were

strings or trombone. The finished album incorporates folk and jazz elements, and includes reworkings of ancient carols — a 13th century French carol, done as a jazz arrangement, and a third-century chant among them. “I was feeling like there were a lot of historic, good carols being lost in our culture,� Whalen said. “Christmastide� will be available for purchase at the Dec. 6 release concert, as well as through online Michelle Whalen music sites such as Spotify and iTunes. completed at no cost in More about Whalen McNally’s studios. and “Christmastide� is at Whalen was joined by a www.MichelleWhalenMucore group of three musi- sic.com. cians in the studio — guitar, drums and bass — but Email Andrew Miller at also brought in others for andrew.miller@ecm-inc. tracks that required harp, com.
