Her last 19 were at Hidden Valley Elementary in Savage, where one of her third-grade students was Sangeetha Shreedaran, now a Burnsville High School junior. The retiree and the student are sharing an honor this year as recipients of the district’s 2013 John Coskran Volunteer Awards.

Since she was a young girl watching her mother grow the family business, Vicki Stute has had a love for entrepreneurship. Stute spent most of her career following this passion as the leader of local chambers of commerce. After a brief stint overseeing a local nonprofit, Stute will return to her first love as president of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce. “What most impressed us was Vicki’s true understanding for what chamber executives must do to meet the needs of our members,” said Michele Engdahl, chair of the DCR Board. “She knows how to take this chamber to the next phase.” Stute, who will begin June 1, has spent most of

her career leading chambers of commerce. Shortly after earning a bachVicki Stute elor’s degree in communication and business management from St. Cloud State, Stute was hired in 1990 as a staff member at the South St. Paul/Inver Grove Heights Chamber of Commerce (now the River Heights Chamber of Commerce). Between 1991 and 1997, Stute held a number of leadership positions at the Twin West Chamber of Commerce, including executive vice president and interim president.

Businesses cleared out to make way for new interchange by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

John Wuchkow wasted no time when he learned his business property was targeted for acquisition as part of the Highway 13/County Road 5 interchange project in Burnsville. He moved his business, Advantage Auto Glass, 15 months ago, from its location behind the old Sinclair station on Highway 13 to its current home at 680 E. Travelers Trail, across the highway from Burnsville High School. “They offered several different buildings around the city to relocate to,” Wuchkow said of the third-party relocation service he was provided by Dakota County. “We actually ended up finding this

particular location ourselves.” His old building awaited demolition Wednesday to make way for the $44.23 million project, which will replace the signalized intersection with a freewaystyle interchange. Businesses dislocated by the interchange project and related frontage road improvements are Taco Bell, Advantage Auto Glass, Famous Dave’s, Carpet King (whose building also housed Flooring Expo and Trade Direct), Valvoline Instant Oil Change, the long-vacant Sinclair station and the long-vacant Little Saigon restaurant building. Still standing Wednesday were the auto glass shop, Taco Bell, the carpet building and the Sinclair station.

The vacant buildings are still good for something – Burnsville firefighters are using them for training exercises. Training was to begin April 28 and continue for two weeks, the Fire Department said. The owner of the Famous Dave’s barbecue restaurant was looking to relocate in Cottage Grove, said John Sass, project manager for Dakota County, the lead agency on the project. A new southeast frontage road would have left the restaurant without access and sliced into the Carpet King building, he said. But another business on the frontage road, Metro Coin Laundry, is not affected, Sass said. Advantage Auto Glass has a long history in Burnsville. Wuchkow said his father opened a Maaco auto body shop on Riverwood Drive in 1972. The business is still there, under different ownership. When his father left the business in 2001, Wuchkow and a partner spun off the auto-glass portion of the business and opened Advantage Auto Glass on West Highway 13.

The former Advantage Auto Glass building awaits demolition to make way for a new Highway 13/County Road 5 interchange in Burnsville. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) They later moved the business across the highway to its location in a former tool shop behind the Sinclair station. The relocation to East Travelers Trail went smoothly, said Wuchkow, who deemed the county “really good to work with.” “They paid for quite

a lot of moving expenses and relocation expenses,” he said. The interchange project, which will take two summers to complete, will replace one of Minnesota’s busiest and most dangerous signalized intersections. The intersection’s accident rate is third-highest

in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. MnDOT and the city of Burnsville are also partners in the project. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

A fifth affordable housing project is in the works in Eagan. The Dakota County Community Development Agency plans to build a 50-unit townhouse complex at 1319 Jurdy Road south of Moonshine Park adjacent to Lemay Lake. The development is the latest expansion of the

CDA’s Family Townhome Project, which is designed for moderate-income families with children under age 18. Plans for the complex include three one-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom units and 25 threebedroom units, along with gazebo and a tot lot. “Eagan has a very high demand for housing and affordable housing is no exception,” said Kari Gill, executive director

for the CDA. There are currently 1,300 families on a waiting list for the CDA’s Family Townhome Project, she said. The Eagan Planning Commission on April 23 unanimously approved the preliminary site plan and rezoning proposal. The project is expected to go to the City Council on May 7. The CDA currently operates 19 rental town-

home complexes under the program, which includes two developments in Eagan. A third is set to open in the summer of 2013 and plans for a fourth development are moving forward. Construction on the CDA’s latest project could begin next summer. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Walk honors survivors of sexual assault More than 100 people join 360 Communities in chilly candlelit stroll by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On a chilly, drizzly Wednesday night more than 100 people gathered at the 360 Communities Lewis House in Eagan to take a candlelight stroll and honor all those affected by sexual assault and domestic violence. The fourth annual Sexual Assault Awareness Walk was held April 24 as part of sexual assault awareness month. Community members, volunteers, survivors and even military members and new recruits journeyed from the Lewis House to a nearby park with candles and teal ribbons. “This is an important thing we are doing,” said

Community members walked to a park near the Eagan Lewis House to show support for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Participants warmed their hands with the candles while listening to the speakers on a chilly April evening.

and then we can prevent four.” Eagan police officer Joe Moesley read statistics from the University of Minnesota study on the status of women: one in four women will experience sexual abuse by the age of 23. About 12 percent of 12th-grade students have experienced date assault, and only about 16 percent of sexual assault and domestic violence crimes are reported to police because of a fear of safety, scrutiny, shame and victimization. The event’s featured speaker Janine Montgomery is a survivor of sexual assault and sex trafficking. She was molested from age 5 until she was 10 by her caregivers. She moved to Minnesota and said, “I blocked it all out.” The emotional scars stayed with her. “I hated myself,” she said. In middle school a friend preyed on her insecurities, and she eventually was involved in sex trafficking in Edina. She

has remarried and has a healthy family. As a minister and speaker, Montgomery said her goal is to bring awareness and educate that this happens in suburban communities. She said people should watch for signs of sex trafficking or abuse such as unexplained burns, bites, cuts and bruises, especially in students who have missed school a lot. She said victims could experience difficulty walking or sitting, nightmares and bed-wetting, exhibit bizarre sexual behavior, have emotional and aggressive behavior and have urinary tract infections. A Community Caring Award was also presented to Kelly Nicholson, a victim witness program supervisor for the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. The Lewis House has a location in Hastings and Eagan. Both offer support for women and children experiencing sexual assault and domestic violence. For more information, visit 360communities. org, call the Eagan Lewis House 651-452-7288 or Hastings Lewis House 651-437-1291. Montgomery can be reached at facebook.com/ janinemontgomerysurvivor.

would attend sex parties where victimization could happen three to four times a week. “I became hooked on alcohol and drugs,” she said. “It got to a point where I gladly took them,” grateful to erase the pain. Montgomery lived this double life and found a way out of sex trafficking by dealing drugs. She suffered from anorexia, bulimia and cut herself to ease the pain. “I was so tormented and traumatized, I couldn’t say what had happened,” she said.

High school on lockdown after altercation Burnsville High School was placed on “modified” lockdown Wednesday after a morning altercation between students, the school announced. Students followed their regular class schedules, but movement about the school was restricted while classes were in session. The school also had an increased police presence for the rest of the day. Six students were suspended Wednesday in what school officials describe as an altercation away from school the night before that spilled over into school Wednesday morning. No weapons were involved, the school said. One student suffered a bruise to the face, School District 191 spokeswoman Ruth Dunn said. The modified lockdown allowed authorities to calm the school, making it easier to investigate the incident, she said. “Students were not in danger because of this incident with this group,” Dunn said. Principal Dave Helke sent a phone message about the incident to parents Wednesday morning. — John Gessner

Opinion Being a journalist not the worst job by Keith Anderson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

“Thick skin and objectivity. If you can’t develop both, then you probably don’t belong in journalism or this class.” The college professor surveyed the class for a few moments, allowing the words to linger. He was waiting for the timid to look away, perhaps fidget or slip out the back door. It was the first step in preparation for one of the most rewarding careers available in this country. Of course, that was nearly three decades ago. Long before any of us ever thought we’d see the job of newspaper reporter listed as the No. 1 worst job in America. Thanks to the Internet, every major media outlet has been airing that piece of trivia for the last couple weeks after it was released by an online job search resource. As a reporter, no matter how thick your skin, just knowing that somebody else considers your job to be the worst in the entire country is a bit unsettling. Then again, those of us in this field never thought we’d ever see the industry savaged with massive staff cuts or that major dailies would simply go out of business and multiple others would be forced to reorganize through bankruptcy.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Keith Anderson

It’s been a tough row, to be sure, but the worst job in America … newspaper reporter? Yes, the stress level is high. The competition in a smaller pool of jobs is fierce. And the pay is often paltry. But the worst job … really? I never agreed with the college professor about having thick skin. I always thought it would make me less sensitive to the world, something that would prevent objective reporters from doing their jobs. Who wants to be cynical? As somebody who has been doing this for almost 30 years, rest assured this is not the worst job in America. And here’s why: It’s easy to find everything that is wrong in this world, our industry and among journalists. But there few other careers where the careful assembly and presentation of words and images can create positive change. That alone makes this one of the greatest careers for anyone

who wants to help improve the world and give voice to others who have the same goal. Some may actually think being a janitor is a worse job than a reporter. But as a former janitor, I can tell you there are aspects to that job that are rewarding (keeping a building clean makes people happy and leads to a better work environment). Maybe the worst job is the individual that empties Porta Potties, unless that person knows that his/her role is essential to each and every one of us who attends an outdoor activity and depends on clean facilities to prevent the spread of disease. Perhaps another “worst job” headliner is the person who cleans up road kill. Awful job, right? Unless you consider that if all the carcasses that end up on our highways were not removed, we’d have serious transportation issues, accidents and potential loss of life. Worst of lists are little more than minor distractions in a world where entertainment often trumps real news. In this case, the worst jobs list serves no purpose other than to make anyone who is not in the top 10 list feel better about his lot in life, I guess. It offers nothing to the enhancement of society. Truth be told, there is a level of pride that can be achieved in all work and it

plays a huge role in one’s own opinion of his value to society. You will not find this in any top 10 worst list. Not everybody necessarily sees their job as the most fulfilling aspect of their life. But every person can do his best no matter what their job. We can all gain satisfaction and peace of mind when we know we have given our best at work. When we do that, it truly does make a difference in some form or fashion to somebody else that is affected by our jobs. So, perhaps the worst job in the world is not a job at all, but a point of view. It is that frame of mind that compels an individual to survey the landscape, point a crooked finger at another, and suggest they have a meaningless job and that their life is being wasted. For that person, for that kind of mindset, we can all be truly sorry. But as a journalist, and I will speak for all of us, we really do want to make the world a better place. We don’t always succeed, but we try. And for the record, we don’t have thick skin, but that’s what allows us to be compassionate and connected to our world.

Letters Bill should reduce road work outlays To the editor: I always appreciate hearing constituent perspectives on issues at the Capitol. It opens dialogue to display the facts versus fiction. Recently I’ve heard from a number of people on Senate File 607, which is a bill to improve and maintain roads. S.F. 607 does not increase taxes. It gives permission for cities, that have street maintenance policies in place, to extend the service life of streets via a timely maintenance schedule. The bill has widespread bipartisan support with the co-authorship of former majority leader Sen. Dave Senjem, RRochester, and Sen. John Pederson, R-St. Cloud. City leaders and utilities departments in Burnsville and Eagan also support the bill and more than 100 municipalities and the League of Minnesota Cities, which represents more than 800 cities, have submitted resolutions. The mayors, council members and engineers who appeared at the Capitol and testified in support of this initiative recognize what most people who own homes and automobiles know: timely maintenance extends service life and avoids costly replacements. Engineers showed data where $1 in timely maintenance avoids $7 in replacement costs. Cities assert that maintenance districts will save costs and avoid higher property tax-

es. The initiative requires an equitable application of costs across property categories and requires a hearing and ordinance passed by elected city officials. The bill passed the Transportation Committee on an overwhelming voice vote. I urge anyone with questions to contact my office, the mayors, city managers or public utility officials who are soundly behind this legislation. JIM CARLSON Eagan State senator for District 58 - Burnsville and Eagan

Home care workers should form union To the editor: I’ve been caring for my mom for two years, ever since she had a series of small strokes. As her memory worsens, I remind her to take pills, keep appointments, where to go in the grocery store and even to eat each day. She is so weak, she needs help preparing meals. I didn’t expect to be caring for my mom at the age of 23. My mom chose me as her home care worker because she knew me. She qualifies for public assistance with Medicaid, but didn’t want some stranger caring for her. I can’t bear to turn my back on her, as she’d be forced to go into a nursing home. If I were in her shoes, leaving my own home would be heartbreaking. But caring for my mom

comes at a great cost. I work three jobs and a minimum of 70 hours a week with low wages and no benefits to show for it. I dream of owning a house someday in the near future, a dream that seems unrealistic with my current situation. There are thousands of other home care workers like me struggling to get by. Right now, we have no voice or say in what happens in our careers. I want the right to form a union to get better wages, paid time off, even training. Mine and my mother’s future as well as everyone else’s could only get better.

Morgan: House education bill a winner To the editor: A world-class education system is the gateway to a world-class economy. Yet, over the past 10 years, our commitment to adequately funding education has been lagging. Every year brings hundreds of school levies. Programs are cut. Class sizes grow. Students are unprepared for college. Our achievement gap grows and grows. The House DFL education bill that passed April 23 with bipartisan support puts our kids on a path to success and Minnesota on its way to the world’s best workforce. That’s our goal – it’s ambitious but doable. The bill calls for historic investments in education. But, more than just focusing on funding and inputs, we’ve chosen also to focus on outcomes. The bill sets the ambitious goal of closing the achievement gap and reaching a 100 percent high school graduation rate, 100 percent literacy by third grade, and 100 percent career and college readiness by graduation – all by 2027. That represents the graduating class of students who start kindergarten in 2014. Reforms play a big part in this budget. Schools will be required to develop strategic plans for student achievement and update

the public on their status each year. The state will utilize the Minnesota Department of Education’s Regional Centers of Excellence to provide assistance and work with schools to reach their goals. A new student assessment system will be implemented that ensures students stay on the path to being career- and college-ready, and innovation grants that promote new ways to increase student achievement will be available to schools. We will also improve the teacher licensure process to utilize evaluation tools that more clearly predict a teacher’s preparedness for the classroom. This is a good education finance and reform bill. As it moves through the process, and we work with the governor and the Senate, we will work to make it even better. I’m convinced that when we are done we will have a set of essential investments and necessary reforms that put us on the path toward creating the world’s best workforce. REP. WILL MORGAN District 56B Burnsville

Cut spending, don’t increase sales tax To the editor: It is my understanding that state Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis, is proposing a sales tax increase to 6.875 percent from 6.50 percent on automobile sales. That tax then becomes: $687.50 on a $10,000 vehicle, $1,375 on a $20,000 vehicle and $2,062.50 on a $30,000 vehicle. The people who buy this price range of vehicle (the vast majority) make under $75,000 per year. This tax puts more pressure on middle America, which Gov. Mark Dayton claims is already too burdened by Minnesota’s taxing. It is obvious that the state of Minnesota is looking for revenue to balance its proposed budget for 2013. Rather than reducing expenses within our government, our legislators are seeking revenue through increased taxes and proposed “fees.” In my opinion, these revenue generators are very devious. We all need to understand that increased taxing and “fees” is not the answer … expense reduction is.

To the editor: In checking to see what has become of former Senate candidate Kurt Bills, I was surprised to find out that he is still a teacher in Rosemount, and has been there since 1996. I am surprised because of many of his embarrassing positions DICK SJOQUIST shown during the 2012 Burnsville

Man faces decade in prison for Eagan prostitution bust by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A St. Paul man will spend the next 10 years in prison for promoting the prostitution of two teenage girls in an Eagan hotel. Brandon Darnel Barnes, 25, was sentenced in a Ramsey County court on April 26 to 120 months in prison with credit for 266 days served. Barnes pleaded guilty in October to promoting prostitution of persons under age 18. According to court

documents, Barnes forced two girls, ages 16 and 17, to meet men for sex at an Eagan hotel in exchange for money. An ad was posted on Backpage.com that had explicit photographs and cellphone numbers for the girls. Police arrested Barnes in April 2012 while tracking the girls, one of whom was a runaway. Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; codefendant, Giorgio Bayman, also pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution of a minor and was sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison.

Both men were initially charged with engaging in sex trafficking of a minor and two counts of promoting prostitution persons under age 18. An Elko man was also arrested in connection to the case. He pleaded guilty in September to four counts of engaging in prostitution with a minor and was sentenced to three days in jail and 10 years probation.

Man charged in child porn sting by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Eagan man faces numerous felony charges after a sting operation uncovered hundreds of child porn images on his home computer. Michael Robert Juarez, 48, was charged in a Dakota County court on March 29 with five counts of possession of pornographic work involving minors. A 2012 sting operation by the Minnesota Cybercrime Task Force traced 170 image of child pornography to an IP address belonging to Juarez, according to the criminal complaint. Officers obtained a warrant and searched Juarezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home on July 31,

2012. While officers searched the home, Juarez allegedly admitted to using a file sharing program to download child pornography onto his home computer. Juarez allegedly told officers he had been using the program for several years and never deleted files from his downloaded folder. He estimated there would be hundreds if not thousand of files in the folders. Juarez allegedly told officers there could also be child pornography on the external hard drive. Officers confiscated Juarezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer and other electronic media storage. A forensic analysis of the computerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard drives and electronic media re-

vealed 152 child pornography files and seven child erotic files that contained videos of girls ages five to 16 performing various sex acts with adult men. Another 43 files contained videos of females whose ages were difficult to pinpoint. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children confirmed that Juarez had 17 files containing identified child pornography victims. Juarez is expected to appear in court at 9 a.m. July 30 in Hastings. If convicted, Juarez could face up to five years in prison for each count.

Minimum-wage legislation headed for the House floor by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It is expected that minimum wage legislation approved on a voice vote by the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday will be brought up on the House floor on Friday. The committee advanced a bill that will give 375,000 Minnesotans a pay increase, said House chief author Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley. The wage bill would increase Minnesota’s floor wage in three steps until it reaches $9.50 an hour in 2015. For large businesses, the bill sets rates at $8 beginning Aug. 1, 2013, $9 beginning Aug. 1, 2014, and $9.50 beginning Aug. 1, 2015. This legislation if

passed into law will represent the first time Minnesota has raised its minimum wage since 2005. Winkler said he is “pretty confident” that the DFL-led House will get a bill passed close to its current form. The state Senate is considering a smaller rate of increase, resulting in a final amount of $7.50. Minnesota’s current minimum wage is $6.15. Minnesota is one of only four states with a lower wage than the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Many Minnesota employers pay their employees the $7.25 federal minimum wage rate. Gov. Mark Dayton has said that he supports an eventual minimum wage at between $9 and $9.50. Winkler said it’s a good chance Dayton will sign

the legislation if it reaches his desk. Rep. Jim Abeler, RAnoka, believes the DFLcontrolled House will pass the legislation forwarded it by the House Ways and Means Committee which debated the bill for more than two hours. Abler, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, is very disturbed, however, with the complexion of the bill and spoke to his concerns early in the committee hearing. A change in parental leave from six weeks to 12 weeks bothers Abeler. He also is displeased in the proposed change of the overtime payment threshold from 48 hours to 40 hours. Abeler explained that this legislation is very damaging to small business. Another concern

of his is the lack of a tip differential. He said the server will get a wage increase but bus boys and dish washers will see no raise under the House legislation. The restaurant industry is supporting a two-tiered minimum wage that would allow restaurants to pay servers and waiters a lower base wage if they make $12 an hour after tips are considered. In his comments before the committee, Abeler urged business and labor to work together. An attempt was made to refer the bill to the agriculture committee, but it failed. The legislation will have a major effect on agriculture and small business, Abeler contends. Minimum wage changes will benefit those people in the lower wage bracket who spend money more

quickly for basic needs, Winkler said. This added wage will bring a boost to the economy, putting more money into the pockets of consumers. The House legislation creates an inflationary adjustment of the minimum wage after it reaches $9.50. Abeler, a 15-year veteran of the Minnesota Legislature, said “it’s always interesting” that major legislation is held to near the end of session and lawmakers often wonder how they are going to get things done. “I’m a collaborator,” Abler admits, saying he wished the party in charge would have approached him in helping shape the wage language. He said he worked on the insurance exchange and believes it got “a little” better. Abeler has two small

businesses and says he understands the costs involved, buying supplies and paying payroll. Opponents of the minimum wage legislation have said that it will increase labor costs and eliminate jobs. Winkler said there is no evidence that this happens. Winkler has been busy working on education legislation, too, creating early childhood scholarships. “It is a challenge because Republicans are not eager to spend money on a new project and others are leery it may look like vouchers, so it has been a balancing act,” Winkler said.

Debate over GRAD tests for a diploma heats up in St. Paul by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Testing anxiety is not limited to students. The Democratic-led House and Senate are proposing to scrap the GRAD tests high school students must pass to earn a diploma. Instead, they want more a college, career-oriented assessment — one free of “gotcha-yas” or “cut scores” — to make school testing a guide to the future rather than an obstacle, they say. The issue isn’t as dry as a test form. It’s emotional. Lawmakers, such as Sen. Dan Hall, R-Burnsville, spoke of their struggles in school, with Hall on the Senate floor talking of growing up in a home touched by alcohol abuse and challenges. “When it came to schools, I suffered,” Hall said, saying he graduated from Roosevelt High School with a sixth-grade reading comprehension. A former teacher and principal, Hall stressed the need for maintaining academic standards. Rep. Sondra Erickson, R-Princeton, Education Policy Committee

Republican lead, speaks of dumbing down high school diplomas. Emotions are strong in reformers, too. Senate Education Committee Chairman Charles Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, said the state’s current testing regimen is “cruel.” Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton struck similar tones. “Sending a third-grader home in tears thinking they failed life because they failed some test, it’s just the wrong way to get kids to want to learn, learn to learn, learn to love learning,” Dayton, a former teacher, said. In coming to office he immediately directed Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius to review testing policy, Dayton said. One offshoot was a work group, composed of a number of area school officials, who issued a report in December. Citing such statistics that only 47 percent of college students complete course work within eight years, the work group deemed it “imperative” the state adopt a K-12 assessment model tied to college and career readiness.

Scrap the GRAD test in writing, reading and mathematics — a battery deemed unfair to people of color, low-income students and new English learners — and do not replace it with another “high-stakes” test, the group advised. “I think there’s been a set of assumptions (about cut score testing), while widely held, are not accurate,” said Eden Prairie High School Principal Conn McCartan, who served on the work group. McCartan, whose school district has a 97 percent graduation rate, is critical of the GRAD test for a number of reasons. Besides questioning its motivational and careerdevelopment value, McCartan pointed to studies suggesting the test is thwarting adequately prepared students. A study in the Bloomington School District matching student MCAII math test results against the ACT college readiness assessment concluded that about 15 percent of college-eligible students would fail the GRAD test the first time. Some would succeed on retries, but this would still leave about 45

families whose 12-grade student, with ACT scores high enough to be accepted at a four-year college, would be denied a high school diploma based on the math test. The Eden Prairie School District has not conducted such a study, McCartan said, but he hears stories from students confirming the study results. The proposal to scrap the GRAD test has drawn fire. A Minnesota Business Partnership official who served on the assessment work group asked in a letter to Cassellius that the group report not be adopted. While supporting a shift to the ACT and related exams because they offered means of establishing minimum expectations, the Partnership rejected the idea of jettisoning the GRAD. “It’s a disaster,” Minnesota Business Partnership Executive Director Charlie Weaver said of current legislation to do so. Recently, a coalition of businesses, including the Partnership, launched an ad campaign opposing the perceived “dumbing

down” of the high school diploma. “This is not a high bar,” Weaver said of GRAD test thresholds. But it’s working, he insisted. Business groups point to recent gains in closing the state’s glaring achievement gap among minority students as evidence. The Coalition of Minnesota Businesses recently launched a radio and TV campaign opposing the scrapping of the GRAD. “I think legislators are getting calls (from the public),” Weaver said. But educators are urging Democratic education leaders to stand fast with assessment work group recommendations. A recent memorandum from the Minnesota School Boards Association, the Association of School Administrators and others endorsed group findings. “The GRAD test, while well-intentioned, has outlived its usefulness. Although it led the way to some necessary changes, it now holds too many students back,” the memorandum reads. Lawmakers are encouraged to reject any attempts at removing new assess-

ment provisions from their bills. Association of Metropolitan School District official Scott Croonquist, whose association represents the Anoka-Hennepin School District, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage, Elk River and Farmingtron school districts, among others, said the association supports the work group recommendations. Croonquist ascribes the controversy over elimination of the GRAD as stemming from misunderstanding over what a single test tells about students. “We don’t agree that this is dumbing down diplomas,” Croonquist said. Rather, it’s using multiple measures, existing standards, to better assess student achievement and chart directions. Weaver is unconvinced. “It’s crazy,” he said. Weaver suggested in cases of students failing GRAD tests, certificates, rather than regular high school diplomas, be issued. Email T.W. Budig at tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Senate passes tax bill after its first rejection by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Democratic-led Senate passed its tax bill on Monday, April 29, but only after crashing it. The bill, which raises about $1.8 billion in new taxes, was debated several hours before coming to a vote. In a spectacle rarely seen with major bills, the Senate tax bill failed on a 32-34 vote. Seven Senate Democrats, including suburban Sens. Terri Bonoff of Minnetonka, Greg Clausen of Apple Valley, Melisa Franzen of Edina, John Hoffman of Champlin and Bev Scalze of Little Canada, voted against the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave it lie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead,â&#x20AC;? Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, said when Senate Democrats, in a procedural move, brought the bill back for reconsideration after a hasty caucus meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be brave!â&#x20AC;? Sen. Julianne Ortman, RChanhassen, urged the seven Democrats. But assisted by Clausen and Hoffman switching their votes, the tax bill passed on a 35-31 vote. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, explained the initial failure to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;prematureâ&#x20AC;? closure of the vote board and confusion caused by Senate Republicans switching their votes back and forth prior to voting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened,â&#x20AC;? Bakk said. Several Democrats, without any concession being made, volunteered to change their votes, Bakk said. The Senate tax bill raises less money than the Democratic-led House tax bill and is markedly different. The Senate proposes to raise the income tax on the upper 7 percent of Minnesotans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; marriedjoint filers with taxable incomes of $140,961, singles with taxable incomes of $79,731 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to raise $1.2 billion over the next two years. Both Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and House Democrats propose their

income tax increase on a narrower ban of the wealthy. Senate Democrats also propose expanding, while lowering, the state sales tax. They would decrease the current 6.87 percent sales tax to 6 percent, while extending it to the purchase of clothing, haircuts, other products and services. To lessen the bite to families, Senate Democrats propose a clothingtax credit. Like the governor and House Democrats, Senate Democrats propose a tobacco tax increase. This would kick up the price of a pack of cigarettes by 94 cents, less than what the House is proposing. Wisconsin and Iowa currently have higher cigarette taxes, North Dakota, at 44 cents, much lower. Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, described increasing the cigarette tax an invitation to illegal sales. Senate Democrats propose lowering the corporate tax rate from 9.8 percent to 9 percent. The would close perceived corporate tax loopholes, raising more than $200 million over the upcoming biennium. Senate Democrats propose a 13 percent sports memorabilia sales tax that would capture $32 million over two years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dollars that could help fund the Vikings stadium. In helping cities, Senate Democrats, besides advancing a new local government aid formula, include a sales tax exemption to cities, saving local government about $200 million. Unlike the governor and House Democrats, Senate Democrats propose paying cash for ongoing State Capitol renovations instead of bonding. They include $109 million in their tax bill for the upgrade. The Senate tax bill offers sales tax exemption for construction material for a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Brooklyn Park, under certain conditions, and contains Rochester Des-

tination Medical Center provisions. Senate Republicans blasted the bill, Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Nisswa, reciting lyrics from the Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxmanâ&#x20AC;? with Ortman calling Democratic promises of property tax relief â&#x20AC;&#x153;bogus.â&#x20AC;? Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, called the legislation â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big, honking tax bill,â&#x20AC;? while Hann called the bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply indefensible.â&#x20AC;? Republicans argue Senate Democrats are raising three times the money needed to cover the $627 million state budget deficit. But Senate Tax Committee Chairman Rod Skoe, DFL-Clearbrook, said achieving tax reform isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one said it would be without controversy,â&#x20AC;? Skoe said. While Republicans offered only a handful of amendments, Sen. Karin Housley, R-Stillwater, successfully amended a school district operating referendum freeze for operating referendums expiring in fiscal year 2015. Housleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment grants the Stillwater School District leeway with a proposed referendum. One Senate Republican, Sen. David Senjem, R-Rochester, voted for the tax bill because of the destination medical center provision in it. Asked how the governor feels about the Senate tax bill, Dayton press secretary Katharine Tinucci said the governor had laid out his priorities in his budget proposal, including raising revenue fairly by having the richest Minnesotans pay their â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair share.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governor has been clear from the start that he is not interested in raising taxes on middle-class Minnesotans,â&#x20AC;? Tinucci said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect this will be his top priority as he negotiates a tax bill with the House and Senate in the coming weeks,â&#x20AC;? she said in an email. Email T.W.

Capitol is classroom for government students at Burnsville High School Students in government classes at Burnsville High School get involved in what they are learning. They volunteer on campaigns and they serve as poll workers on Election Days. When the Minnesota State Legislature is in session, the Capitol in St. Paul becomes their classroom. All students who are in American Government and Politics this semester picked a bill to follow in the Legislature. They research the bill, contact interest groups and interview the author of it. They put together a presentation on the issue that highlights pros and cons and also explains their own opinion on the issue. Then they write an essay identifying a position on the bill, and send a letter to their representative advocating their position. Seniors Raven Klein and Britta Riggs selected a bill related to hydraulic fracking. They researched State Rep. Rick Hansen’s House File 425 and the environmental and economic impact of his proposal. “We talked directly to the bill’s author and gained information we’d never have been able to find on the Internet,” said

Raven. BHS students also met with their own state representatives and senators to talk about current issues. Some students spotted Gov. Mark Dayton giving a speech to veterans and had a chance to meet him.

Three new principals hired at Lakeville Schools Lakeville elementary schools to have new leaders by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Lakeville School Board approved hiring three new elementary principals April 30, one a returning district employee. The new principal at Eastview Elementary is F. Taber Akin, the district’s former assessment and accountability coordinator and currently principal at Sioux Trail Elementary in Burnsville. At Christina Huddelston Elementary, the new principal will be Jill M. Kelly, now serving as assistant principal of data, assessments and intervention coordination, a district-wide position, in St. Francis, Minn. Marilynn Smith, the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan Area School District magnet school coordinator, was hired to head Orchard Lake Elementary where the district plans to debut Impact Academy in the fall. Impact Academy is an education-delivery option for kindergarten through third-grade students next fall that groups them by skill level instead of age and grade, focuses on integrated studies that connect learning to real-world problems to incorporate a service learning component to the curriculum. The new hires, who will start with the district July 1, replace longtime district principals Karen Roos,

Jill M. Kelly Orchard Lake; Richard Oscarson, Eastview; and Amy Schmidt, Christina Huddleston, who will retire July 1. Tony Massaros, executive director of administrative services, said the incoming principals’ salaries will be based on their experience in that role. Akin, who re-enters the district with five years experience as a principal will start at a Level 3 salary of $119,768, according to the principal’s contract. Massaros said both Kelly and Smith will begin at Level 1 salaries listed in the contract as $116,351. The new principals were selected out of a pool of more than 60 applicants, Superintendent Lisa Snyder said. “We did something new this time,” Snyder said. “We actually screened the candidates with a measurement tool from an independent provider, so that we had another piece of the puzzle,” Snyder

said. She said that tool evaluated a candidate’s skills in relations, interpersonal interactions, instructional leadership and how much they are “mission-driven.” The hiring process also included feedback from each school’s staff to identify characteristics desired in a principal. There were numerous reference and background checks to select eight for interviews and to determine five finalists. Snyder said each of the eight candidates met with three “feedback groups” that consisted of a parent group, staff and teacher group, and an administrative group all including representatives from all three elementary schools, including Roos, Oscarson and Schmidt. Each group member’s evaluation form was read and sometimes re-read by Snyder and the executive cabinet to narrow the five interview finalists. “That was a much more rigorous interview than the first one,” Snyder said. “Because we had very specific targeted questions based on the feedback from stakeholders.” The process marked the first time Massaros said he could recall when three principals were hired at once, and was complicated because they had to find the top people and match them with a school. Snyder said Akin demonstrated “instructional

Marilynn Smith leadership” at Sioux Trail Elementary, which, according to his resume, includes implementing school improvement and professional development plans. “He had wonderful examples of ways to engage parents as well as students and to have a positive student culture,” Snyder said. Kelly has been in St. Francis since 2009 and from 2009-2011 was assistant principal at Cedar Creek Community School, a St. Francis elementary school. Snyder highlighted her experience in assessment and instructional leadership and leadership in embracing technology. “She is really known in educational circles as an instructional leader,” Snyder said. Snyder also said Kelly has an “outgoing personality,” that would bring “joy and fun” to Christina Huddleston “for the parents, students and staff

to really rally around the new vision.” Smith took a non-traditional path to education field, working in business and marketing in 1986, but pursuing a degree in elementary education when she realized business “was not where her heart was,” Snyder said. Smith started as a teacher in the East Metro Integration District in 2000, moved to a regional education specialist in 2009 and since 2010 has been the District 197 magnet school coordinator, working with many elementary school staff members. “She’s extremely adept at implementing change and managing culture through change, which is a very good match for the needs at Orchard Lake,” Snyder said, calling her personality and demeanor one of “confidence yet calmness.” Board Chair Roz Peterson was complimentary of the hiring process, noting each principal’s backgrounds seemed to be good fits for each school’s needs. “I think the process we used really worked well to get to a good outcome here,” Massaros said. In an interview, he added that the district plans to employ a more structured mentorship program to help the new principals in the transition. He said in the past the district has informally

F. Taber Akin matched a current elementary principal with an incoming one to help them acclimate, but plans to solidify it because of the number of new hires. “Fundamentally, it’s almost half the elementary team,” Massaros said. “Three of the eight are new, so we really need to build a cohesive unit here.” At the special meeting, the board was also asked to accept the retirement of JFK Elementary third-grade teacher Sheryl Wardlow. The change saves one more full-time elementary teacher from being laid off from their position, Massaros said. He said the number of teachers the district hires each year is based on numerous factors, including enrollment and the level of licensing an employee has attained.

you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Kutz said of her former student, whom she still runs into at Hidden Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been that way. ... She can brighten up anybody, even somebody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a rotten day. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a lovely person.â&#x20AC;? Shreedaran and the Kutz husband-and-wife team are among the six winners of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coskran Awards, named for a former District 191 School Board member who championed volunteerism as a board member and in his long career with Catholic Charities. The others are parents Beth Spaude and Kim Robinson, both volunteers at Marion W. Savage Elementary and copresidents of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parent-Teacher Organization; and Terry Walters, a Burnsville High School teacher who has been part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Class Actsâ&#x20AC;? teacher variety show for nearly 25 years, including several years as director. There were 40 Coskran Award nominations. Winners were selected by past recipients in the categories of student, parents, community and employee. Shreedaran began volunteering at Hidden Valley last year through the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Service Advisory Council. This year she sought â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and received â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expanded duties. She helps teachers STUTE, from 1A 1996. In 1997, Stute joined the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce where she served as executive vice president, chief financial officer and as interim president until 2007. While there, she helped the organization become the largest local and regional chamber in Minnesota. Stuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for business was inspired by her mother who owned a sales promotion company in South St. Paul.

Ceola, Jeff Schwenn and Emilie LeCompte. Duties range from correcting fifth-grade papers for LeCompte to helping sixth-graders with math or homework in Duethmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class to teaching skills such as basketball and rope climbing in Ceolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phy ed classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great going back there and seeing the new kids having the same experiences I used to have, seeing how much they enjoy school just like I used to,â&#x20AC;? said Shreedaran, who won the student category of the Coskran Awards. The daughter of Siva and Radhika Shreedaran of Savage still feels indebted to Hidden Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent six years of my life at that school,â&#x20AC;? Shreedaran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers were always so kind and understanding, and they taught me so many different things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really appreciative of. Many of my closest friends, I met when I was at Hidden Valley. It was just a big part of my life, and it still is, volunteering there.â&#x20AC;? Shreedaran is also a member of Burnsville Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Student Council and Youth Advisory Council. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked on projects including a Snow Week food drive and the Empty Bowls for Full Bellies project. She volunteers during the summer at the Savage Library. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time for school work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shreedaran has a perfect 4.0 grade-

11th grades â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as for dance instruction and classical piano. And for kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actually, my mom has a Montessori (school) in our house, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly around kids,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when I go home, I love spending time around them.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understood when I was very young the importance of business in a community,â&#x20AC;? she said. When her mother died of breast cancer in 2003, Stute took up a new cause. In 2007, she became president of the Angel Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps adults with cancer and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an incredibly rewarding experience getting to know these families and seeing their strength and hope,â&#x20AC;? the Inver Grove Heights resident said. Though she enjoyed her

work at the foundation, Stute yearned to return to the chamber world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I most enjoy the relationships Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed with business owners and learning about innovations in our community,â&#x20AC;? she said. Stuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience working with large and small chambers will become a great asset in meeting the needs of different businesses, Engdahl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see her at the helm,â&#x20AC;? she said. A lifelong Dakota County resident, Stute has been a member of the

The couple also taught religious education classes at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville. Now they fan out to Jeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old school, Hidden Valley, and other district schools that their four grandsons attend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vista View and Gideon Pond elementaries and Metcalf Junior High.

As needed, the Kutzes, who won the community category of the Coskran Awards, are all over the place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re available, they ask us, and we go do it,â&#x20AC;? Richard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess whatever needs to be done,â&#x20AC;? Jean said. Both started teaching careers in Renville, Minn., in 1967. After four years Richard veered from science teaching into the insurance business.

Lakeville schools to end big payouts in unused leave by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville Area School District officials are taking steps to change employee contracts to end big retirement payouts. Under the district’s longheld “defined benefits” plan, multiple longtime district employees who leave or retire are eligible for what can be a six-figure payout in unused sick time and benefits, said School District Superintendent Lisa Snyder. The plans allow departing district employees a choice to receive the money, typically deposited into a health care savings fund, in a lump sum or over time. Most of those employee benefit packages also include fully district-paid medical coverage until they would qualify for Medicare. All of the district principals and 800 teachers are grandfathered in under the current contract benefits. In addition, former district employees who may be working elsewhere could be eligible for severance benefits if they met the various length-of-service and retirement-age benefit provisions, said Tony Massaros, the district’s executive director of administrative services. Former Lakeville School District Superintendent Gary Amoroso left the

district for another job mid-contract in 2011 with $360,000 in severance/unused sick days and health insurance benefits that caused citizen uproar and prompted School Board members to change benefit packages for new top employees, including current Superintendent Lisa Snyder. “He’s the last superintendent to get that payout,” Snyder said in an April 29 interview. She said the district can no longer afford those huge one-time benefit payouts that are impossible to predict accurately and financially challenging to manage. “We really can’t afford to operate like that,” Snyder said. “We need to know what we’re budgeting for.” Teacher contracts were already changed so as of December 2011 any new teacher has a defined contribution of $3,000 per year deposited by the district to their health account, according to the 2011-13 teachers contract. Snyder’s contract also includes the change to the district-funded “defined contribution” plan, one of the first superintendents in the state to agree to those terms, which she said the School Board insisted upon when she was hired in 2011.

While longtime district employees are grandfathered into their previous benefit plans, the new “defined contribution” plan is also the standard for all new district employees, Snyder said. Four new principals will be under the new terms this year – Chris Endicott, incoming principal at Century Middle School who was hired last year, and the three new elementary principals just announced to replace elementary school principals set to retire in June at Orchard Lake, Eastview and Christina Huddleston. Those retiring principals – Karen Roos, Richard Oscarson and Amy Schmidt – are eligible to receive benefit payouts, according to Massaros, who said he did not yet know the amount the district will pay. Like Snyder, Randy Anderson, the district’s executive director of business services, has a contract that caps severance payouts for accumulated unused sick leave to 130 days and obligates the district to pay $7,000 annually into a health reimbursement account that goes with the employee when they leave the district, thus eliminating the big one-time benefit payouts. Snyder added that as current cabinet members’

and principals’ employment contracts expire, the district is also proposing modifying benefit packages to align with the parameters in Anderson’s contract. Last week, Snyder recommended the board “sunset” the cabinet-member contracts of Barb Knudsen, executive director of teaching and learning, and Renae Ouillette, executive director of special education. She proposed paying both employees’ earned benefits from their current contract in installments, offering both new three-year contracts under the “defined contribution” terms like Anderson’s and included in new employee contracts. To date, Ouillette has earned almost $80,000 in benefits, which Snyder proposes the district fund at $952 per month for seven years. Knudsen, a 35-year employee, meets all time and age qualifications for a total payout of $280,000, Snyder said in an interview. In a board document, the amount was estimated at $204,000 because it did not include all her unused accumulated sick pay. Snyder recommended the board start paying Knudsen’s $204,000 of earned benefits at monthly increments of $5,666 for the

next three years. At the same time, the district would contribute $7,000 per year for both employees to medical accounts under terms in a new contract, yet to be presented. Board members indicated support for meeting the district’s contractual obligations and ensuring employees who earned their benefits received what was promised them, but had numerous questions about details and implications of the contract changes and tabled action on Snyder’s request. Board Member Bob Erickson asked for an itemized list of costs associated with each current contract benefit and how much would be reduced going to the new contract benefits. He cited concerns that approving the contract parameters would essentially ask board approval for other employee contracts sight unseen, as Snyder said she would use the board’s action to help her prepare the 2013-15 contracts that will come to the board next month. While retirement benefits are clearly defined in Anderson’s contract, another provision has raised some questions. The provision states he “shall have access to all fringe benefits provided other licensed employee

groups that may be in effect or come into effect during the duration of this Agreement.” Massaros said the provision does not mean Anderson would be entitled to all retirement benefits as other employees. “His retirement benefits are clearly stated and reflect the intent of the School Board to make these changes as we move forward,” Massaros wrote in an email. Erickson said “access” doesn’t grant Anderson the right to receive additional fringe benefits “without a change in the agreement language.” “In my opinion,” Erickson said, “ ‘access to’ isn’t the same thing as being eligible to receive a benefit paid for by the district.” Massaros said that the language is “obviously a little unclear,” but added, “I do not think there is any doubt on either the part of the board or Randy (Anderson) what was intended here.” The provision concerns Randy Pronschinske, a former Lakeville School Board candidate, and local representative of the education advocacy group LakevilleStudentsFirst.org. “The question we should be asking ourselves is why do we leave ambiguity in the contract?” he said.

& Tackle high blood pressure for a healthy heart BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER After his fourth heart attack, Barry Haller feels lucky to be alive. For several days before the Feb. 21 incident, Haller felt painful pressure on his chest and was often out of breath. “I didn’t want to believe I was having another heart attack,” said Haller, 69. When he couldn’t ignore the signs any longer, the Apple Valley resident reluctantly accepted a ride to an urgent-care clinic. He was transferred to a hospital, where he had an angioplasty, a procedure that opens blocked arteries. To help his recovery, Haller takes heart medications and attends an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. Three days a week, he exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike while his pulse and other vital signs are monitored. Haller has several risk factors for heart disease, including family history of the disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. He had bypass and open-heart surgery after his first heart attack in 1996. These days, Haller is feeling stronger and optimistic about his recovery. “I’m actually feeling better now than I did for several years,” he said. “I have more energy, I seem to be able to think a lot better. I’m thankful in that way. “ Haller is one of the estimated 33 percent of Americans with high blood pressure or hypertension. The condition is a risk factor for heart disease, which remains the No. 1 killer of adult Americans. Left untreated, high blood pressure can damage the heart, blood vessels and organs. It’s of-

ten called a silent killer because its symptoms aren’t obvious and many people don’t know they have it until they have a heart attack or stroke. Death rates for heart disease in both men and women are dropping, but the condition kills more women than men, said Dr. Jennifer Dankle, cardiologist at Fairview hospitals in Burnsville and Edina. The death rate for cardiovascular disease in men and women fell 30.6 percent between 1998 and 2008, possibly due to better medical treatments, according to the American Heart Association. But in 2009, women represented 51 percent of cardiovascular deaths, while men represented 49 percent of those deaths. The disparity may be due to the failure of some women and doctors to identify risk factors and symptoms of heart disease, delaying diagnosis and treatment, said Dankle, who is also medical director of the Women’s Heart Clinic, University of Minnesota Physicians Heart at Fairview. Men tend to get heart disease in their 40s and 50s, while women tend to develop it in their 60s and 70s. “Most women, even if they have risk factors, don’t perceive that they’re at risk, because of the misconception that this is still a man’s disease,” Dankle said. For example, most men experience chest pain during a heart attack, but up to half of women don’t report the symptom. Instead, women describe vague symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath and discomfort or achiness in upper back, arms or jaw. Because heart attacks or stroke cause permanent damage, lifestyle changes like quitting

smoking, losing weight and cutting salt intake are essential, Dankle said. “If we can prevent heart disease, that’s the cure,” she said. After a heart attack or stroke, many patients are referred to a cardiac rehabilitation program. The 6- to 12-week program at Fairview Ridges Hospital is designed to help patients recover while their vital signs are regularly monitored, said Dana Schwieters, cardiac rehabilitation therapist. Patients do 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three days a week and learn about lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking and eating a healthier diet, Schwieters said. Average age of patients in the program is 64 and it can be most effective for those who treat their heart attack or stroke as a wake-up call motivating them to change their habits, Schwieters said. “Heart disease is a progressive disease,” she said. “If you have it, chances are, if you do not make lifestyle changes, it will continue to progress.” After completing a rehabilitation program, exercise can help to maintain heart health, said Stephanie Winkel, senior fitness coordinator at the Eagan YMCA. Research shows that exercise can increase muscle strength and stamina, control weight and diabetes, reduce high blood pressure and stress. With a doctor’s approval, Winkel recommends moderate aerobic exercise three times per week, increasing intensity as health improves. “You have to schedule time for yourself, schedule time for fitness and take care of your body,” she said.

Good nutrition fights heart disease BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER ood choices can play a big role in preventing and reducing heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends a heart-healthy diet with less saturated fat and sodium, and more fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Following that advice can be difficult for some patients, said Kristi Von Ruden, registered dietitian at Northfield Hospital and Clinics, with clinics in Lakeville and Farmington. Packaged and fast foods in the modern American diet are loaded with salt and fat. “A lot of times, they’ll say, ‘I’ll avoid adding salt.’ But they don’t realize how much there is in the foods they’re eating, especially with pro-

cessed foods,” she said. The average American gets 3,436 milligrams of sodium per day, more than double the AHA’s recommended limit of 1,500 milligrams. Sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body, placing an added burden on the heart. Saturated fat and trans fat found in red meat, butter and cheese can raise LDL or “bad” blood cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that builds up on the inner walls of arteries, narrowing and clogging arteries and reducing blood flow. Von Ruden advises patients to follow the federal government’s MyPlate guidelines for healthy eating. The plan emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy products.

Two other eating plans resemble the MyPlate guidelines. Research published earlier this year showed that the Mediterranean diet, supplemented with olive oil or nuts, reduced the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension or DASH diet has been endorsed by AHA because research has shown that it’s effective in lowering blood pressure. Whatever plan is followed, Von Ruden believes that taking small steps can help anyone stick to a healthy eating plan. “It’s hard to change habits,” he said. “If you can do it in a way that doesn’t feel like it’s so overwhelming, it makes it a lot easier.”

Sports Quick-striking Wildcats boys lacrosse team starts 3-0 Eagan scheduled to play top-ranked Eden Prairie next week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan averaged about 14 goals in its first three boys lacrosse games. While that might seem prolific to others, Wildcats coach Bob Felter reacts with a shrug. “I knew we’d be able to score,” Felter said after the Wildcats dispatched Bloomington Jefferson 15-5 on Tuesday night. “We’re trying to hit a specific number of goals each game. I don’t want to say what that is, but we’ve been over it so far.” The Wildcats, ranked third in the state, defeated Benilde-St. Margaret’s 11-9 and Rosemount

17-13 in their first two games. Tuesday’s victory at Jefferson gave Eagan its third consecutive victory against a respected lacrosse program. All three of the Wildcats’ opponents either are, or have been, ranked among the state’s top 15. Eagan is one of the state’s top teams. The Wildcats were to play Bloomington Kennedy on Thursday and travel to Totino-Grace at 7 p.m. Friday before a non-conference showdown against No. 1-ranked Eden Prairie at 6:30 p.m. Monday at home. While Felter said he wasn’t worried about the Wildcats’ ability to score,

there were concerns about the other half of the field. “We have some sophomores, some new starters, on defense,” he said. “They’ve held up well, and we have a goalie (Luke Westrum) who’s a threeyear starter, and he’s been outstanding.” Eagan’s game against Jefferson was all but over about midway through the second quarter. By that time the Wildcats had used their quick-striking, high-pressure attack to take a 9-0 lead. After that, the Wildcats had to try to strike a balance between remaining aggressive and not showing up the opponent. “We’re a run-and-gun

team; always have been,” Felter said. “It’s considered old-school, but it’s the style I like to play. It’s coming back in college lacrosse, but in high school you still see teams that want to play lower-scoring games.” A team can’t play fastpaced offense without skilled players, and Eagan has them. Senior attackman Michael Kukulski has 15 goals – more than one-third of his team’s total – and scored eight times against Rosemount. Senior captains Connor Simpson and Nicholas Forsha also are dangerous on offense, as are seniors Cullen Willox and Thomas Powers. Max

Elsenheimer, a junior, has sparked the offense with 16 ground ball recoveries, most among the Wildcats’ attack/midfield group. Sophomore Jackson Melby is the faceoff specialist and is winning more than 60 percent of his draws. Andrew Markland, a senior, helped solidify the Eagan defense by moving there from long-stick midfield. Felter said Markland probably would have preferred to remain a midfielder, but he has responded with a team-high 22 ground balls. Next week is a big one for the Wildcats. In addition to the non-conference game against Eden Prairie, the schedule includes

a game at Burnsville on Tuesday and Eagan will face defending state champion and No. 2-ranked Eastview at home at 7:30 p.m. May 9. Eastview ended Eagan’s bid for a state championship last year with an 8-7 victory in the Section 3 championship game. Although the playoff sections have since been revamped, the Wildcats and Lightning likely will still have to go through each other to reach the state tournament, again.

Now that it finally has gotten outside, Burnsville’s baseball team is finding runs difficult to come by. But its opponents are having the same problem, and that meant the fourthranked Blaze was 3-1 in its first four games. “When kids are seeing pitches at around 74-75 (mph, in batting practice), it can be tough to hit in a game against a kid who’s throwing 83-86,” coach Mick Scholl said last Friday after the Blaze split a South Suburban Conference doubleheader at Rosemount. “That, and (Thursday of last week) was the first day we hit outside since we got back from our spring trip.” The Blaze lost 1-0 to Rosemount as Irish pitcher Jake Schulze threw a twohit shutout. Burnsville won the second game 5-2, then on Saturday edged Chaska 3-2 in a non-conference game. Burnsville also has a 13-6 victory over Duluth Denfeld at the Metrodome in early April. With the schedule so compressed – the Blaze is hoping to get in 19 regularseason games by May 21, three days before the section playoffs start – monitoring the pitchers’ workload will be a challenge. Burnsville’s pitchers, including No. 1 starter Tyler Hanson, are on pitch counts. In the first game against Rosemount, Hanson threw five scoreless innings and 71 pitches be-

Sliding into the base is Rosemount’s Jordan Turner. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) fore the coaches decided that was enough for the day. Rosemount scored the game’s only run in the bottom of the sixth. “It’s hard to take a kid out when he’s throwing like that, but we’re not going to risk injuries,” Scholl said. Hanson, who starts at third base when not pitching, likely will get one start per week on the mound. His pitching workload could increase once the Blaze gets into the playoffs, but until then an assortment of players will be called on to eat

innings. Scholl said he liked how Zach Smith pitched in an inning of relief against Rosemount event though Smith ended up with the loss. Schulze threw just 78 pitches in a complete game. He walked nobody and struck out five. Hanson had Burnsville’s only two hits. The lack of offense “had a lot to do with their pitcher,” Scholl said. “In the second game our kids See BLAZE, 14A

Notebook: Distance fireworks Eastview seniors not ready top Hamline Elite Meet to hang up the spikes Eagan sprinters, Rosemount hurdler also perform well

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The purpose of the Hamline Elite Meet is to get all of the state’s top high school track and field athletes to compete at the same place, at the same time. Organizers certainly accomplished that in the girls 3,200-meter race, where the state’s top three runners staged a duel to the finish. Blake School junior Clare Flanagan won the race Friday at Hamline University in a meet-record 10 minutes, 23 seconds. Shakopee senior Maria Hauger was second in 10:24.32 and Eagan senior Danielle Anderson placed third in 10:24.69. It’s a race you can’t see at the Minnesota State High School League championships – also contested at Hamline University – because Flanagan competes in Class A, while Hauger and Anderson are with Class AA schools. At last year’s MSHSL state meet, Flanagan won the Class

A 3,200-meter title, and Hauger and Anderson were first and second in Class AA. Burnsville junior Vivian Hett also qualified for the 3,200 at the Elite Meet and finished ninth in 11:18.70. Sprinters with Eagan ties also had a big night at the Hamline Elite meet. Eagan High athletes Emerald Egwim (25.43) and Maddie Gourley (25.61) were first and second in the 200. Eagan resident Megan Linder, who competes for Cretin-Derham Hall, won the 400 in 57.19. Linder is defending state Class AA champion in the 400. Eastview senior Erica Bestul, a state medalist in the 800 last season, took fourth in that event at the Hamline Elite Meet in 2:18.73. Rosemount sophomore Rachel Schow finished second in the 100 hurdles (15.26) and sixth in the 300 hurdles (47.31). She also helped Rosemount place fourth in the 4x100 relay. Teams from Eagan and Eastview placed fourth and

sixth in the 4x800 relay. Rosemount’s Katie Duff threw the discus 114 feet, 11 inches to place 10th. On the boys side at the Hamline Elite Meet, Eagan’s Jake Gourley finished fourth in the 100 dash in 10.94, less than one-tenth of a second out of first place. He also was seventh in the 200 in 22.45. Burnsville’s Andrew Herkenhoff ran to third place in the boys 110 hurdles, finishing in 14.99. The Blaze also placed seventh in the 4x400 relay.

Oberfeld, Stockwell will savor final baseball season before moving on to other sports by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This summer, Ben Oberfeld will begin the next phase of his athletic career when he attends a men’s basketball prospects camp at Bucknell University. For the next few weeks, however, he’s with Eastview High School’s baseball team. After serving as a starter and team captain in football and basketball, he minces no words about his assignment this spring. He’s a role player. He might not see the field very often. And he’s fine with it. “It’s more of a support role,” he said. “It’s completely different from the other two sports. I look at myself as someone who needs to help keep guys’ spirits up and get them ready to play.” Eastview’s baseball team, the defending state Class AAA champion,

has two players who have signed National Letters of Intent to play other sports in college – Oberfeld for basketball at Bucknell and A.J. Stockwell for football at North Dakota. With Oberfeld measuring 6-foot-9 and Stockwell 6-7, they could be the two largest strike zones in the South Suburban Conference. Stockwell is the Lightning’s starting first baseman and the only returning Eastview starter from last year’s state title game. It’s not unheard of for athletes to skip spring sports in their final year of high school to train specifically for the sports they’ll play in college. Oberfeld and Stockwell said they never considered passing on their final spring of high school baseball. That’s not difficult to understand in Stockwell’s case, given that he’s a key returning starter. “A.J.

was a big part of what we were able to do last year,” Eastview coach Tom Strey said. For Oberfeld, the reasons are a little farther beneath the surface. “There was never a doubt in my mind I’d play baseball this spring,” Oberfeld said. “I’ve played baseball since fourth grade and came up with all of these guys. They’re my friends.” “We know baseball is Ben’s third sport,” Strey said. “But he’s a great kid, a smart kid. He knows how to compete at a high level. Other kids at our school look up to him. We’re happy to have his leadership, and anything we get from him on the field is a bonus.” Oberfeld was a threeyear letterman in football. As a senior, the defensive end was named All-South Suburban Conference. Stockwell also played See EASTVIEW, 14A

EASTVIEW, from 13A on the defensive line but saw a lot of time on offense as a 285-pound blocking back for Will Rains, a sophomore who had a breakout season at running back. At North Dakota, “one of their tight ends graduated,” Stockwell said. “They’re going to have me at tight end to start with. It sounds like there’s a chance I could play as a freshman, but if not, I’ll redshirt.” Stockwell did not play a winter sport and spent a lot of his free time in the Eastview weightroom. He said the North Dakota football coaches had no problem with him playing baseball this spring. “They just told me to try to not let my weight drop below 265,” said Stockwell, who added he weighs about 275 now. Bucknell, similarly, was OK with Oberfeld playing baseball this spring. “We love that he is a three-sport athlete,” basketball coach Dave Paulsen said on the school’s athletic website shortly after Oberfeld signed with the Bison last November. Oberfeld is the second four-year letterman in Eastview boys basketball history and will graduate as the school’s fifth-leading scorer and leading rebounder. He also holds school single-game and single-season rebounding records, and his 701 career rebounds are almost 300 ahead of the No. 2 player on the list, Darren Kent. He averaged 17.1 points and 10.1 rebounds this season as the only returning starter from a team that went to the state tournament the year before. Oberfeld’s Eastview basketball career didn’t end as he had hoped. He sprained his ankle in practice two days before his team’s first section tournament game

and had to watch from the bench with his foot in a plastic boot as Eastview lost to Cretin-Derham Hall. “Just horrible timing,” said Oberfeld, who said his ankle is fine now. “I think I could have played in the next game, too (which would have been against crosstown rival Apple Valley). I wouldn’t have been 100 percent, but I could have played.” His timing could be better once he gets to Bucknell, located in Lewisburg, Pa. The Bison are losing three power forwards from their 201213 team, which had a school-record 28 victories and reached the NCAA tournament. One of the departing players is Mike Muscala, a Roseville native who led the Bison in scoring this season. He’s hoping for an opportunity to play, but Oberfeld said that’s not the main reason he chose Bucknell. “I wanted to go to a school where I could spend four years of my life and be happy about it,” he said. Stockwell is part of a large group of Minnesota football players finding attractive opportunities just across the border. The University of Minnesota is the only Division I football program in the state, but North Dakota, North Dakota State, South Dakota and South Dakota state all play Division I in the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known at Division I-AA. Stockwell was offered a walk-on spot at Minnesota and a scholarship at two-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State, but chose North Dakota after being contacted by that school’s coaches following his junior season of football. The North Dakota coaches had only seen him on film, but had seen enough to offer a scholarship.

Before he goes to North Dakota, he wants to try to get the Eastview baseball team back to the state tournament. In 2012 he was called up from the junior varsity in midseason and played regularly the rest of the way. He was named to the alltournament team at state. New starters surround him, but Eastview won its first three games of the 2013 season. “I hope we can go back to state,” Stockwell said. “We need to fill some spots, but we have good players. We all hang out together and have a good time.”

Fast start for Lightning Eastview began its defense of the Class AAA state championship by sweeping Bloomington Kennedy 2-1 and 11-0 in a South Suburban Conference doubleheader Saturday, then beating Bloomington Jefferson 6-1 on Monday. In the sweep of Kennedy, “we had two really good starts,” Strey said. “We’re looking to develop some depth in our pitching. We haven’t had a season like this before, where we started so late. “In a normal season we’d have three starting pitchers. This year we’ll need four, or even five.” Junior Marcus Frederickson pitched a threehitter with 11 strikeouts in the 2-1 victory over Kennedy. Grant Martinson and Lucas Anderson also are 1-0 as starting pitchers, while Ben Voss and Jacob Bechstein have worked in relief. Senior outfielder Josh Chatfield hit .571 with five RBI in the first three games, while Rhett Hebig and Loren Muraca had three RBI each.

Claire, Wis., played Division I basketball at Boston University. She helped lead the Terriers to the NCAA tournament in 2003 and was a team captain in the 2004-05 season. She has been an assistant basketball coach at Augsburg College and Eagan High School and also worked on the Eastview volleyball staff.

Eastview girls basketball coach Melissa Guebert recently was named Class 4A coach of the year by the state association. In 2012-13, Guebert led Eastview to a 29-3 record and third place in the state tournament. In two seasons after taking over for Paul Goetz (who remains with the Eastview program as an assistant coach), Guebert’s teams are 54-10 with two state tournament appearances.

Burnsville defeated Chaska 3-2 on Saturday at Chaska Athletic Park as Tyler Hanson, Ben Sherman and Logan Vermeer drove in runs. Smith pitched the final 2 1/3 innings and earned the victory.

The team won three matches at the Elk River tourney, including a 4-3 victory over the host team. Elk River, last year’s state Class AA champion, had been No. 2 in the state rankings. Junior Tom McCallie, Burnsville’s No. 1 singles player, is ninth in the Class AA singles rankings. Burnsville is one of two South Suburban Conference teams in the top 10 in Class AA. The Blaze is one spot behind fifth-ranked Bloomington Jefferson, which defeated Burnsville 5-2 in an SSC match last week.

The Blaze’s schedule includes a doubleheader against Bloomington Jefferson starting at 4:15 p.m. Friday at Alimagnet Park. Burnsville is scheduled to play at Eagan on Monday and at defending state Class AAA champion Eastview on Tuesday. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

MASSAGE, from 1A The following month, police learned the business opened in Minnesota after the therapists received training in California. In March 2013, police received another

complaint from a caller who said employees were dressed in “short shorts” and the business had a number of suspicious men visiting it. An advertisement containing Heavenly Asian Massage’s name and Ea-

gan address, posted on March 29 on Backpage. com, features women dressed in short, low-cut dresses. It advertises “Two new Asian beautiful girls at Heavenly Asian Massage,” and “table showers.” Employees at Heavenly

Asian Massage told the undercover investigator the business had four therapists, but the business has licenses for only two therapists.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really wonderful thing, and people have just had so many nice things to say.â&#x20AC;? Starkey is always hearing from people with things to say. The busy senior center, located at School District 191â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamondhead Education Center, had 22,000 visits during the 2011-12 fiscal year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My office is in the middle of the center,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are right there telling me what we need to do differently, what we need to do better, what we need to forget about doing. Being that close to the public, I get my finger on the pulse of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really needed.â&#x20AC;? The state association honored Starkey for her dedication to serving seniors, her community outreach and the growth of programs under her management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her work in Burnsville has been exemplary and her leadership is impressive,â&#x20AC;? longtime senior center volunteer Peg Fink wrote in a testimonial for the state award. Starkey has run the senior center with â&#x20AC;&#x153;grace, understanding and compassion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our senior center is the best in the state!â&#x20AC;? wrote Starkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominator, Amber Jacobson, community services specialist for the city of Burnsville. The center is a joint project of the city and District 191 Community Education. Starkey, 55, worked for a year as a Ramsey County

juvenile probation officer before joining HealthEast Care System in 1980 as a medical social worker. She was director of social services at Bethesda Hospital in St. Paul. In 1990 she went to work for the nonprofit Care Institute. She was the first social worker in Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first assisted-living facility, Rosewood Estate in Roseville. She later was named executive director of a new Care assisted-living facility in Maplewood. Then Starkey helped Care open new facilities in Orlando, Fla., and Syracuse, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the suits,â&#x20AC;? said Starkey, who enjoyed the assignments but realized sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather work with seniors again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the people who build and finance and own these buildings. And rarely are they seniors worried about their Medicare.â&#x20AC;? The lifelong St. Paularea resident found her opportunity in Burnsville, where she filled in temporarily when then-director Katie George took a leave of absence and was hired full time when George resigned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a riot,â&#x20AC;? Starkey said, still loving the job in her 15th year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running almost 300 volunteers. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got programming. We get to be creative. I get to network with my peers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been part of developing the Elder Resources Association south of the

river. We just had our ninth expo last Thursday at (Burnsville) City Hall. I had 48 vendors there for that.â&#x20AC;? Starkey found herself with added duties when deep cuts were made in the Community Education program. Apart from the senior center, she was also put in charge of adult and youth programming, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to get more efficient, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say we are, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to become more costeffective, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say we are,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean Community Education as a whole. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to be able to take care of ourselves and not rely on our school district. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do that the past two years.â&#x20AC;? The senior center is as busy as ever, with burgeoning interest in fitness classes and a growing number of baby boomers signing up for 55-plus driving classes. What makes for a good senior center director? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you have to remember to have two ears on and one mouth, which is always one of those challenges,â&#x20AC;? Starkey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You listen twice as much as you talk. You have to be patient. Considerate. You have to be very accepting. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with people in general.â&#x20AC;? John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

MAGGIE IS SMART & PLAYFUL! Maggie is a 2-year-old Shepherd mix. She weighs 40 pounds but thinks she is 100 pounds with her big bark! She will scare kids, so Maggie would be best in a home with kids 14 and older, or an adult home. She is very housebroken and smart. She is great with other dogs within a fenced yard and loves to play. Call Kathy at 651-4026223 or see her at the Apple Valley Petco from 11-3 on Saturday.

20A May 3, 2013 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

Adventures in banjo land May 7 library event details making of banjo documentary As a 60th birthday present to himself, Craig Evans took a trip across North America. But this was no sightseeing tour. On his 12,000-mile trek, the Rosemount resident and longtime banjo enthusiast conducted on-camera interviews with 26 builders of open-back banjos. He compiled the resulting footage into a three-volume set of DVDs titled “Conversations with North American Banjo Builders,” which will soon be added to the collection at the Smithsonian Folkways Library. Evans will be discussing his cross-country adventure on Tuesday, May 7, at the Robert Trail Library

Craig Evans in Rosemount. At the 7-8 p.m. event, he plans to present excerpts from interviews with the banjo makers, show a few of the

souvenirs from his travels and, if time allows, perform on the banjo. A member of bluegrass band The Eelpout Stringers, Evans is also the organizer of Rosemount’s annual Bluegrass Americana Family Weekend, which is held in conjunction with the city’s Leprechaun Days festival. This year’s bluegrass weekend is slated for July 18-21 in the Central Park band shell, with The Eelpout Stringers set to perform as part of the Friday night square dance.

Get your kilt ready for Minnesota Scottish Fair 10th annual event Saturday at Dakota County Fairgrounds by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota Scots and admirers of the culture can put on their kilts and head over to the Dakota County Fairgrounds for the 10th annual Scottish Fair and Highland Games Saturday, May 4. With a theme of “Where the Highlands Meet the Prairie,” the day is filled with Scottish cultural activities for the whole family. Visitors can watch sheepherding demonstrations, see a living history encampment and test Scotch whisky. Classic British cars, Shetland sheep and shaggy cattle will also be on display. Children will receive a free coloring book

and passport. Local and Scottish vendors will also set up food tents and a marketplace. Eagan native and fourtime national Highland dance champion Kira Cosgwell will perform. Local Celtic music performers include Legacy, Clairsearch, Ross Sutter, Laura MacKenzie and Jennifer Licko. The Highland Games are traditional Scottish competitions and include harp and pipe band faceoffs. Highland dancers will also compete traditional Scottish dance, which is danced completely to the tune of bagpipes on the ball of the foot. The heavyweight competitions include stonethrowing, weight tossing, hammer-throwing

and sheaf tossing. Unlike modern strong man competitions, participants will throw traditional Scottish equipment while wearing kilts. Gates open at 8 a.m. and parking is free. Tickets cost $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors (65-plus), $5 children (615) and free for children 5 and under. The Dakota County Fairgrounds is located at 4008 220th St. W., Farmington.

Thisweekend Fairy tale love, against a backdrop of war Twin Cities Ballet presents ‘Cinderella 1944’ May 10-12 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The classic tale of Cinderella is getting a modern twist in the latest production from Twin Cities Ballet. Set in Great Britain during World War II, “Cinderella 1944: A Love Story” is brimming with historical flourishes – wartime newsreel footage, air raid sirens, sandbags, war posters and patriotic red, white and blue bunting. The show, which plays the Burnsville Performing Arts Center’s main stage May 10-12, tells the Cinderella tale through dance and music, rather than words and song, and features a compilation of classical music edited together with sound effects. “It’s an original story with thematic similarities to the original Cinderella story,” Twin Cities Ballet board member Rick Vogt said. In this version, Cinderella is orphaned and goes to live with her aunt and cousins in a country village. Instead of Prince Charming, though, she falls in love with a U.S.

Dancers rehearse Tuesday for Twin Cities Ballet’s upcoming production of “Cinderella 1944.” With a cast of about 100, the production features dancers drawn mainly from Ballet Royale Minnesota, the Lakeville dance studio run by Rick and Denise Vogt. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) Army captain. With a cast of about 100, the production features dancers drawn mainly from Ballet Royale Minnesota, the Lakeville dance studio run by Vogt and his wife

Denise. Denise Vogt, who wrote and choreographed “Cinderella,” did a good share of the historical research for the production on a trip to England, her home

country, in the summer of 2011, interviewing family members and family friends about their wartime experiences. Her family network was happy to oblige, offering up

that proved instrumental in designing the show. “We’ve done a lot of research on this – it’s taken us two years,” Denise Vogt said. “And whenever I have a question, I call my mum.” “Cinderella” is the second ballet written by Denise Vogt for Twin Cities Ballet, formerly Lakeville City Ballet, which is known for its annual south-metro production of “The Nutcracker.” The dance company’s first original production, “Wizard of Oz – The Ballet,” debuted in May 2012. The Vogts’ goal is to gradually build a repertoire of original story ballets that will rotate throughout the year. Tickets for “Cinderella” range from $12 to $26 and are available at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center’s box office, and through Ticketmaster, 800-982-2787 or Ticketmaster.com. Show times are 7 p.m. May 10, 2 and 7 p.m. May 11, and 2 p.m. May 12.

SELL

During our FREE in-home Window Diagnosis, our Project Manager will identify the windows most beneﬁcial to replace. And because our windows are not available in stores or from contractors, we’ll bring one to you to demonstrate its beneﬁts. Then we’ll provide a price quote that’s good for a year.

BUILD
