2016 best year yet for city’s Ames Center Shrinking operating loss is crucial measure by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

OPINION

The center finished 2016 with a $32,447 operating loss, far below the $98,166 loss forecast in its budget. It was the third straight year of sub-$100,000 operating losses, and an improvement over 2015’s $87,717 loss. And after the center’s shaky beginning — it lost $547,854 in 2009, the year it opened, according to the center’s 2015 annual report — city officials are pleased. “Hallelujah when we hit that point one day when the Ames Center is actually showing a small profit,” City Council Member Dan Kealey said last month.

A plot of land that has sat undeveloped for decades along Highway 3 in southeastern Eagan could see some development soon. The Lincoln Group Inc. has plans to build 34 twin homes on about 10 acres southeast of Red Pine Lane and Highway 3 in Eagan. The Eagan City Council voted 3-2 Tuesday to direct staff to submit a comprehensive guide plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council to change the land-use designation from retail commercial to low density. It’s a first step in the process. “It’s all speculative,” Mayor Mike Maguire said. “The development can’t come forward with a plan until we make this first step.” There are still several hurdles to clear. Council Members Cyndee Fields and Paul Bakken both voted no.

Comprehensive guide plan amendments require at least four votes. Fields said she used to live in the neighborhood. She said she not comfortable because there’s industrial property and railroad tracks nearby and doesn’t want to “spot zone” the area. The land has been zoned for mixed office or retail commercial development, mixed residential, single-family residential and limited industrial at times in the past 40 years, but nothing has been built. “The market hasn’t told you that commercial should stay what it is,” said Maguire, who voted yes. “We haven’t had anyone in here wanting to use it as industrial. The area, to me, is predominately residential.” He said the council will see if the neighbors share that concern when the plans come back to the council for a vote. Council Members Meg Tilly and Gary Hansen both felt that, since it wasn’t working as retail, residential development would fit. There was a plan to build a big-box grocery story on the land about 10 years ago, according

When he was hired to manage Burnsville’s performing arts center, Brian Luther was confident he could chip away at its annual six-figure operating deficits. His only question was by how much. More than five years later, Luther still isn’t one to make guarantees. But on the heels of its best year yet, the executive director of the city-owned Ames Center says it is poised for further success.

Family loss inspired ARCpoint Labs owner Apple Valley business offers drug screenings, DNA tests by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A family tragedy several years ago sparked Nisha Malaviya’s interest in drug-abuse prevention and awareness. Malaviya, who opened ARCpoint Labs in Apple Valley in November, saw her cousin lose everything — including her life — to opioid painkiller addiction. Following back surgery to correct injuries she suffered in a motorcycle accident, Malaviya’s cousin got hooked on the pain medication she was prescribed. Trapped in a downward spiral, the married mother saw her family life dissolve before finally dying as a result of her addiction. “That had a pretty significant impact on my vision of what a drug addict looks like,� said Malaviya, of Bloomington. “It’s what drew me to this busi-

ness. Trying to educate and build awareness is a high priority for me.� ARCpoint Labs in Apple Valley, a franchise business, offers thirdparty drug and alcohol screening for employers and government agencies, including testing for safety-sensitive jobs with the Department of Transportation along with courtordered drug testing. The business also offers court-admissible DNA tests, for paternity lawsuits, as well as ancestry tests and pharmacogenetic DNA testing to determine what medications will be most effective for employees or patients based on their genetic makeup. Additionally, a “telehealth� program at ARCpoint is a subscription service that allows clients to talk or Skype with a physician for acute conditions such as pink eye and sinus infections. The plan,

Eagan figure skating club donates audio system to arena by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Music is a key part of Eagan Ice Crystal Figure Skating Club’s performances, but it doesn’t always go smoothly. A CD player may break down, or an iPod doesn’t work. When that happens, there’s an uncomfortable, long delay between skaters. Recent changes aim to prevent that in the future. About eight months ago, Eagan Ice Crystal Figure Skating Club began fundraising efforts to purchase a new audio system by bagging groceries and selling cookies. The club raised $2,150 to purchase a Rink Music audio system and donated an additional $1,000 to cover the cost of installation at Eagan Civic Arena. It will allow users to play preloaded music and ease the transition between participants. “It’s a upgraded system that allows individual skaters to play their

Lakeville man found guilty in Minneapolis shooting Allen Scarsella was at police station during protest by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

he saw a protester brandish a weapon and some protesters chased Scarsella and the three other men, according to news media reports. “This office took a very strong stand against Mr. Scarsella,� Freeman said. “We charged him with the most serious possible charge that the evidence allowed. We argued successfully for a high bail. We argued again in later hearings not to reduce that bail. As a result, he has already been off the streets for 14 months. At his sentencing, we will be seeking the stiffest possible sentence to keep him confined even longer.� Scarsella, who was a Lakeville resident when he was charged in November 2015 and is now listed as a Bloomington resident, is slated to be sentenced March 10. Three other men were charged in connection to the case. Joseph Martin Backman, 27, of Eagan, Nathan Wayne Gustavsson, 22, of Hermantown, and Daniel Thomas Macey, 26, of Pine City were each charged with one count of second-degree riot-armed with a dangerous weapon. They have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial, according to the AP. Freeman said when the men were charged that there was no doubt the shooting was racially motivated. “The defendants’ own statements, their videos, show that these are sick people,� Freeman said at the time. “Maybe I shouldn’t say that, but the language they use, and what they say about fellow Americans, citizens, are just not acceptable.�

A 24-year-old former Lakeville man was found guilty of 11 counts of assault and one count of riot in connection to the shooting of five protesters outside a Minneapolis police station on Nov. 23, 2015. After about seven hours of deliberations Wednesday, Feb. 1, the jury returned its verdict against Scarsella. He was found guilty of all 12 original charges. According to an AP report, Scarsella showed no emotion as the verdict was read. No comment was offered by Scarsella’s defense attorneys. “We are pleased with the jury’s guilty verdict against Allen Scarsella today,� said Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman in a press release. “As I said at the time we charged Mr. Scarsella and his companions, the racist language he used in the videos and on social media is just not acceptable and the actions he took as a result of those racist beliefs were heinous. The jury obviously saw it the same way.� Prosecutors said Scarsella and his three friends went to the Fourth Precinct Minneapolis police station to mock the protesters who were calling attention to the fatal police shooting of Jamar Clark — a young black man from Minneapolis. They said Scarsella shot and injured five protesters, including one of Clark’s cousins, according to the AP. The court also heard evidence that Scarsella, who is white, used racist language on social media and an online video. While on the stand, Scarsella Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ claimed he shot in self-defense when ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Two charged in Eagan home burglary An Eagan homeowner allegedly chased down a home burglar Jan. 30, which led to two men being charged in Dakota County District Court earlier this week. Daniel Byron Osen, 53, of Inver Grove Heights, and Joshua Daniel Richards, 31, of St. Paul, were charged with felony first-degree burglary (occupied dwelling), which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail and a $35,000 fine. According to the criminal complaint, an Eagan homeowner said he was in his residence when he heard

someone in his attached garage and found a male digging through the drawers of a toolbox. The male ran, but the homeowner followed the alleged burglar three houses away before the man got into a pickup truck. Eagan officers were able to locate the truck, which was being driven by Richards. The passenger, Osen, was identified by the homeowner as the male in his garage. — Andy Rogers

Bomb threat at Blue Cross Blue Shield leads to felony charges A disgruntled former employee at Blue Cross Blue Shield in Eagan was charged with a felony in Dakota County Court last week for allegedly sending threatening letters, including a bomb threat, to his former employer. Gregory Rand Paulson, 48, of Eagan, was charged with felony threats of violence (threat of explosive device present) and faces a maximum penalty of three years in jail and a $3,000 fine. Eagan Police Department officers responded to a report from the security manager at Blue Cross Blue Shield in Eagan who received letters allegedly

from Paulson about having bombs around the building on Jan. 30. Blue Cross Blue Shield received a vulgar letter directed to the CEO Jan. 26 and another Jan. 30 stating: “There ARE BOMBS placed Around the Buildings This is a DEATH TREAT! TO All BCBS Eagan Building Campuses. Murder plot to Kill All! Including You.� A Bloomington Police Officer and his K-9 partner trained to detect explosives found no explosives located at any of the buildings. Employees believed the threat was from Paulson, who is a former employee in the cafe, because the let-

ters made references about the cafe. During an police interview, Paulson said he worked with Blue Cross Blue Shield for five to six years, but held no resentment when he left and denied knowing anything about the letters. After officers left, Paulson requested call back from the officer and admitted he sent the letters because he was upset about being fired and how he was treated, according to the statement of probable cause. He said he lied the first time they talked because he was scared. - Andy Rogers

Opinion Burnsville, railroad should resurrect Dan Patch Line by William Hume SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Get rich by rail! Burnsville economic development plans for the future would get a huge boost if the old Dan Patch rail spur would be revitalized. Infrastructure is shovel ready and waiting for the energetic leadership it will take to use it again as an urban artery of commerce. This rail transit line is offering sustainable economic growth and regional tax base for Burnsville and surrounding Dakota County. The old railroad track is these days hidden by an overgrowth of trees and various scrub brush, certainly not suitable for your backyard garden. Drive over the bridge on West County Road 42 by County Road 5 and there it is, lying north-south in a valley geography. Originally designed and built over 100 years ago as an electric-powered freight line, this inter-urban rail line could not only support small industrial business freight service, but possibly light-rail commuter service. If you have seen the rail and wood ties overgrown in Burnsville with weeds, you’ve probably wondered who owns the track and right of way. I contacted Andy Cummings, manager of media relations, Canadian Pacific Railroad. Andy informed me, “CP owns the entire MN &

Guest Columnist

William Hume S corridor from MN & S Junction (New Hope-Plymouth border) to Northfield, except for the bridge over the Minnesota River at Savage-Bloomington and the approach to it, which are owned by TC & W. Progressive Rail currently leases the line from the Interstate 35 overpass south to Northfield.” Now you know who owns this strategically placed rail. Now let’s talk about rehab, and getting it ready for business. For miles it runs through Burnsville and Dakota County. I asked Vicki Stute, president of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, if she would comment on this rail line operating again. Vicki said, “Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce supports a long-term, comprehensive, multimodal transportation system in order for the business community to effectively and efficiently move its products and services, as well as its commuting employees. As transportation planning occurs and decisions are made, a thoughtful and thorough cost-benefit

analysis should be considered regarding any new additions or improvements, and maintenance of existing infrastructure, to ensure the best use of taxpayer dollars and a strong return on investment for the region.” It’s absolutely necessary that a Chamber of Commerce supports and sells the strategic capitalism of its region. In the Twin Cities metro area, each suburban city competes for sustained economic growth. Location by distance and time to roads, bridges and rail transit are of critical importance in attracting new business and residential development. An urban city plans and functions on tax revenue. Several metro cities have huge industrial parks drawing tax wealth from highly profitable manufacturers and private business offices. Other suburban villages have high-income residential taxpayers, each paying tens of thousands of dollars in local property tax for their home sites. Combine both of these urban assets and you have the perfect suburb. Imagine revitalized Dan Patch rail transit. How can this vital infrastructure running through Burnsville be rebuilt? I’ll list an order of design and eventual construction progression I think would be a logical approach. Let me break it down. Today, the Dan Patch (CP) rail line passes close to residential and Burnsville

parks land. An environmental impact survey (EIS) would have to be completed to assess all implications for the natural and residential environments. Confirmation would be needed to prove that this enterprise is a desired addition to Burnsville commerce. Dan Patch is a rail line for profit, commercial business development and return on investment for the owners. A plan called a sustainability report would estimate this freight transit’s potential. An opportunity exists for a railroad and suburb to form a public-private cooperative to create jobs, industrial tax base and a strategic economic location for future growth. Hard rail commuter transportation such as the Northstar Commuter Rail Line would be an additional option from the western suburbs all the way to Northfield. New infrastructure is the best way a village can display a progressive outlook. Hopefully the city of Burnsville and Canadian Pacific Railroad will cooperate to bring new and prosperous life to the old Dan Patch rail line.

Fighting workplace mandates on two fronts by Doug Loon SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Chamber continues to challenge workplace mandates at the Legislature and in the courts. A recent court ruling underscores the importance of our parallel efforts. A Minneapolis ordinance is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2017, that requires businesses to provide paid sick time to employees. St. Paul has a similar ordinance scheduled to take effect the same date. Duluth is considering enacting its own set of workplace regulations. It’s only time before similar measures come to a city near you. In October 2016, the Minnesota Chamber brought a lawsuit against the city of Minneapolis asking the court to do two things: No. 1, issue a temporary injunction prohibiting the city from enforcing its “paid sick and safe time” ordinance on any businesses; No. 2, permanently rule the ordinance unlawful. The Hennepin County District

Guest Columnist

Doug Loon Court delivered a mixed ruling on Jan. 19. Judge Mel I. Dickstein said Minneapolis may not enforce its ordinance on employers “resident outside the geographic boundaries of the city of Minneapolis.” He also ordered that, for now, the city could enforce the ordinance against employers within the city. We are appealing the decision. The judge’s mixed ruling underscores the importance of our efforts at the Capitol to pass the Uniform State Labor Standards Act, which would prohibit local governments from passing their own mandates on wages, benefits and scheduling. The Act would keep Minnesota’s laws uniform, our

communities open for business, and our economy thriving for all. The legislation is being spearheaded by the United for Jobs Coalition, a broad-based coalition of local chambers of commerce and business associations led by the Minnesota Chamber. The measure was approved by the House Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee on Thursday, Feb. 2, by a 13-9 vote. We do not believe the state should dictate private-sector employee benefits. The only thing worse than state government dictating one-size-fits-all mandates on all employers is for local governments to do so, thus creating a patchwork of local laws for businesses to navigate across the state. Minnesota’s economic strength is due to a diverse business landscape. Distinctive operations and workplace needs require that employers have the flexibility to develop wages and salaries, benefits, policies and procedures that best serve the mutual needs of employer and em-

ployees. Borrowing a sports phrase, the best defense is a strong offense. Minnesota employers consistently receive national recognition for providing tremendous workplace environments. We will continue to challenge workplace mandates. At the same time, legislators also need to hear about the voluntary wages and benefit plans employers use to attract and retain employees in this competitive marketplace. Minnesota businesses increasingly are offering leave plans that meet the needs of employees such as offer paid maternity and paternity leave, paid sick and safe leave, and other benefits — without state or local mandates. Please share your best practices by contacting Jennifer Byers at 651-292-4673 or jbyers@mnchamber. com. Doug Loon is president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce – www.mnchamber.com.

Letters Lewis, GOP rolling back the wrong regulations To the editor: U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, and his GOP brethren have been hard at work. They have already accomplished a lot. I am not sure, however, that what they have done lines up with the values of those of us who live in the 2nd District. So far they have voted to gut an Obama administration gun-control regulation that would prevent some people with mental illness from purchasing firearms. I know Lewis talked of removing

unneeded regulations. I doubt many voters in the 2nd District knew this was what he meant. After all, the Virginia Tech shooter, the Fort Hood shooter, the Tucson shopping mall shooter, and the Aurora, Colorado, shooter all demonstrated signs of continuous behavioral health issues and mental illness. The rule required that disability recipients with severe mental disorders be added to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background check system. Since those who are told they may not purchase a firearm have the right of appeal, I see this a reasonable attempt to keep citizens safe. The GOP-led congress

has also voted to roll back the Stream Protection Rule. This rule restricted coal companies from dumping mining wastes into streams and waterways. Minnesota passed the Legacy Amendment to, among other things, protect drinking water sources and restore wetlands. I do not understand why Lewis would think we wouldn’t care about all waterways in our country. I have no idea why Lewis believes people in the 2nd District wanted Congress to eliminate the rule that requires oil and gas companies to disclose payments to foreign governments to gain access to their energy resources. Isn’t this just a sensible

Was Bill Clinton a Republican? To the editor: After reading the following excerpt from Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address, it appears to me that the Democratic party of today is far different from the one in 1995. “All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of il-

legal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That’s why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminals as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation

of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.’ I don’t get it. Why did no one protest when President Clinton said these things; but, they protest when President Trump said them? Is it because President Trump is actually doing what he said he would? Or, has 20 years of terrorism and 9/11 made people feel more welcoming of immigrants? Or is it because the Republican Party doesn’t hire people to organize protests? Wish I knew the answer.

Glacier Hills family night

Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science in Eagan celebrated its annual Family Cultural Night last month. Families and community members shared food, performances, languages, arts and other aspects of their culture with one another during the evening’s festivities.

Northview Elementary hosts service learning night For a second consecutive year, Northview Elementary School in Eagan partnered with Doing Good Together, a local nonprofit that advocates for family volunteering, to host its service learning Family Fun Night on Feb. 3. Northview hosted nine organizations, each having their own station, where families got involved in hands-on projects to “make and donateâ€? to each organization. All materials needed to make gifts and crafts were donated by families and Northview staff. The following organizations were represented, with its corresponding activity: • Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, tie blankets • Dakota Woodlands, cards of encouragement and hygiene product collection • Feed My Starving Children, sign-up for Northview Night at FMSC • Fraser, moon sand • International Institute of Minnesota, welcome to Minnesota cards • Last Hope Inc., cat toys • Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs - Hastings Veterans Home, paper flowers • PawPADs, service dog visit

• The Sheridan Story, food drive Representatives from each organization attended the event to share information with families as they visited each station. Last year, Northview made dog toys out of T-shirts for B.A.R.K. (Being Advocates for Rescued K-9s), decorated placemats and paper bags to Meals-On-Wheels, made bracelets for Blair’s Tree of Hope Foundation for hospitalized children battling cancer and more.

With the help of Doing Good Together, the ultimate goal behind the event is to inspire families to want to do more service together and to make kindness a more integral part of their family culture. Doing Good Together provides tools and resources, such as donation ideas and reflection opportunities, to make the event successful. Toppers Pizza, Cub Foods and Northview’s PTO donated food and beverage for the event.

“I was standing out here trying to greet people as they came in (to school) and also bring a few into the branch,� he said. “What we normally do is ask if they want to open an account. If they do, we have a web-like form we have them fill out on these iPads. It only takes 10 minutes.� The branch is a tool for teaching financial literacy, which is part of the school’s academic and career Pathway under business management, Carroll said. “It’s always been there,� she said of financial literacy education, “but it’s more emphasized now than probably ever before, which is fabulous.

I think we need to teach those things early on, and I think it’s going to benefit all of society when we’re all good with our money.� The idea of a high school branch started with talks between School District 191 Superintendent Joe Gothard and Bill Raker, Firefly president and CEO. Firefly — formerly U.S. Federal Credit Union — has its headquarters and one of its 10 branches not far from the school on the north side of Highway 13. At 92, it’s Minnesota’s oldest credit union, said Marty Kelly, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, who worked closely with the school and DECA students.

Raker, who joined U.S. Federal as a board member and became its top executive in 1997, has a unique history with school-based branches. In 1969, he was a math teacher at Fort Knox High School in Fort Knox, Kentucky, Kelly explained. “While he was there, he was approached with the idea of serving as the faculty adviser for a studentrun credit union at the school,� Kelly said. “That was actually Bill’s introduction to credit unions, which have been a part of his life ever since.� As nonprofits, credit unions claim financial literacy education — from reading a credit report to shopping for a home —

as part of their mission, Kelly said. The presence of credit union branches in high schools has grown in recent years, he said. “Certainly, there are any number of adult members that we deal with on a regular basis who wish they would have had this education 15, 20, 30 years ago,� Kelly said. “To be able to provide it at the dawn of someone’s financial experience certainly is useful in meeting our mission.� The new branch furthers a partnership with BHS that has included working with DECA students and offering a scholarship program called “The Great Savings Challenge,� Kelly said.

Firefly sent a letter to all BHS parents explaining the new branch. Students not yet 18 need parent approval to open an account, he noted. The “Verge� name on the checking account signifies the excitement of a step toward a young person’s financial independence, Kelly said. High school branch hours are before and after school, Monday through Friday, from 7-8 a.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m.

Public Works will also be on hand to answer questions and connect with residents. There will be a community art project sponsored by the Eagan Art House, as well as entertainment by the The Eagan High School Jazz Band and other local choirs. The only thing for sale is concessions. All the booths are designed for promotional purposes. There won’t be political

party organizations, home party companies or fundraising at the event. The idea came from a desire to put something on the calender for winter. “There was a gap,� Pimental said. “With the Eagan Forward process, a lot of the information and feedback we received, we realized we could bring back the good, oldfashioned resource fair to connect people with the who, what, why, when and

where, so they can get involved within the city,� Eagan used to have an event called Streets Alive in September, but it hasn’t been held since 2015. “We wanted to have something more in the winter months,� Mozingo said. “We didn’t have a larger community event this time of year. It’s so busy in September, late August, so we’re trying to spread it out. We really wanted to capitalize on

the opportunity for organizations to really connect with residents.� The city is not planning another Streets Alive in 2017, but Mozingo said that doesn’t mean there won’t be another one in the future.

Common flu myths to forget by Dr. Chad Masters

by Twin Cities Kids Club

SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each year I hear many of the same concerns or misconceptions from patients regarding flu. That’s why I’ve compiled this list of “common flu myths” − to not only debunk them, but to help educate patients so we can put these myths to bed and have a healthy season. Myth 1: I don’t need a shot. I haven’t gotten the flu yet. Truth: That’s great you haven’t had the flu, but each year the strain is different, so just because you haven’t had the flu yet, doesn’t mean you won’t ever. There’s also another really important reason to get a flu shot — and that’s for the people around you — children, pregnant women, co-workers, elderly individuals or anyone with a compromised immune system. Getting a flu shot is a healthy choice for you, your family and the entire community. Myth 2: If I get the shot, I will get the flu. Truth: Flu vaccines given with a needle, which is the recommended method, are either made with inactive flu virus or no virus at all. This means you will not get the flu from getting a shot. There may be some minor side effects, however. The most common are soreness, redness, swelling where the shot

There seems to be no avoiding the flu, but there are steps families can take to help prevent it. was given, low-grade fever, headache or muscle aches. It’s easy for some to confuse these symptoms with the flu, but they are side effects that go away rather quickly. Myth 3: The flu is spread through dirty surfaces. Truth: While the flu virus can live for a time on surfaces or objects, it is most commonly spread through droplets in the air caused by sneezing, coughing or even talking. The droplets can land in the mouths or noses of nearby people, which is why it is so important to

cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. Myth 4: I got a shot last year so I should be covered. Truth: The vaccine is different each year because the flu strain is different each year. It’s important to get a flu shot each and every year to protect against the flu virus. And remember, flu may seem like a bad cold, but it is often accompanied by extra symptoms like high fever, headache, body aches and feeling completely wiped out. Because it can cause more serious

health complications, such as pneumonia, sinusitis or dehydration, it is advised to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms. Dr. Chad Masters, MD, MBA, is a regional medical director for MedExpress, which provides walk-in health care. He has held numerous medical leadership roles throughout his career and has been a contributor to the medical education field as both an adjunct professor for Nova Southeastern University and assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Five special Valentine’s Day traditions by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

What are your family’s plans for Valentine’s Day? Maybe you’re planning a night out with your spouse, or thinking of the perfect gift for each other. Whatever your plans, how about starting some family traditions with the kids? Children don’t remember all the little store-bought gifts. They remember what’s meaningful. Here are some ideas. 1. Start the day with a special breakfast. Go all out and have the kitchen all decorated when the kids wake up, then serve something everyone loves like pink, heart-shaped

waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. 2. Make homemade Valentine’s Day cards or notes for neighbors or for the local nursing home. 3. Take the whole family out on a date. Have everyone dress up, pick out a favorite restaurant for every-

one and just enjoy being together. 4. Think of small acts of kindness that you can do for each member of the family. Big sister can read her younger brother’s favorite book to him. Or your son, who loves to draw, can make a special picture for Mom. 5. Share love stories. No, not just your favorite fairytale story. How did Mom and Dad meet? Or how about writing letters of love to each other? Have everyone write some words of affection for each other. What do you love about each family member? Be sure to share.

Winter weekends in Minnesota may feel ideal for hiding inside from the cold, snuggling on the couch and watching movies all day. But there are so many fun things to do with the family, no matter what the temperature.

Living It’s cold outside 10 cabin fever remedies for Minnesota kids by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Are the kids bursting with energy from spending too much time inside this winter? Help them get the wiggles out and relieve some cabin fever (for you too) with these family activities. 1. If it’s too cold to play outside, do some physical activity inside. Have a dance party. Play balloon ping pong (make paddles with paper plates and sticks). Build a fort or playhouse (http:// tinyurl.com/gub6cvd). 2. Bring the outside inside. Bring in the snow for sensory fun in bowls or pans. Make colored ice shapes (freeze ice and liquid watercolor in muffin tin). 3. Have a dinosaur dig. Freeze toy dinosaurs (and/or other toys) in a large container. Have your kids melt the ice with salt and hot water, and then “dig� out their finds with gentle tools like cooking utensils. 4. Put together a Cold Days activity box. Depending on the ages of your kids, fill it with crafts, dress-up items, LEGO sets, play dough, family photos, etc. 5. Start a hobby. Is your child interested in building model airplanes, learning a musical instrument, or making jewelry? Learn about hundreds of hobbies at http://www.discoverahobby.com/.

6. Visit your local library. Besides discovering books, movies and activities (like storybags) to keep the kids busy, look up free events at local libraries in your area. Many offer storytimes and fun events just for kids and teens such as trying out 3D printers and LEGO builders clubs. 7. Try a new recipe. While at you’re at the library, borrow a few kid-friendly cookbooks to try some new recipes at home. Or how about creating a family cookbook of your own? 8. Start an indoor mini-garden. Herbs are the easiest to grow inside (and they’re useful for cooking). 9. Bring out the movie camera and make some fun videos. Kids can make movies of their toys, or funny commercials with things around the house. Go to youtube.com for inspiration. 10. Enjoy an indoor treasure hunt. Here are tips from our local, play-expert friends at Tumblewalla.com: 1: Assemble aspiring pirates. 2: Prepare snacks (always an effective incentive) 3: Wrap snacks in socks (clean ones work best) 4: Conceal snack-style treasure around your house, home, room, car, tent, backyard and/or treehouse. Creativity is key. 5: Send your explorers out to sea with a map or their own intuition as a guide.

10 Stay-cation ideas for spring break by Twin Cities Kids Club SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Spring break is coming, and you dream of taking the family to Orlando to escape air that’s so cold it hurts your face. Problem is, the cost hurts your budget more. Whatever your reasons for staying home this spring break, you don’t have to feel like you’re missing out. Here are 10 ideas for a great family stay-cation in the Twin Cities. 1. Be an explorer from your own computer. Many museums offer virtual tours, including the Smithsonian (search “virtual museum tours� online). Or explore the Twin Cities in your own home via webcams: View the animals at Como Zoo http://www.comozooconservatory. org/plan/. Explore a directory of webcams in Minnesota at http://www.minnecam.com. See downtown St. Paul http://www.earthcam.com/usa/minnesota/saintpaul/?cam=stpaul 2. Visit a real museum. See artwork at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, or learn about local history at the Minnesota History Center. Many local museums also offer free admission days. 3. Create your own art. At Color Me Mine in Eagan, attend a workshop or drop in to pick out and paint the ceramic of your choice. https://twincitieskidsclub. com/discount-directory/color-me-mine/ 4. Try Paintball or another indoor

adventure. Splatball and Fallout Shelter Arcade, both in Minneapolis, offer hours of indoor fun. https://twincitieskidsclub. com/discount-directory/ 5. Geocaching. Go on a real-life outdoor treasure hunt with your family any time of year. Learn more at http://www. dnr.state.mn.us/. 6. Local theater. Attend a production at the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis or Stages Theatre in Hopkins. Also check out theatre camps or other options when school’s out at http:// www.childrenstheatre.org/ or https:// www.stagestheatre.org/ 7. Visit a zoo or aquarium. See animals at Como Zoo and the Minnesota Zoo, or walk beneath sharks at the Sea Life Aquarium at the Mall of America. 8. FlyOver America. If you can’t travel across America, why not “fly� over it? We love this new ride experience at the Mall of America. Save 10 percent by buying tickets online: http://www.flyover-america.com/ 9. Go on a day trip to a not-too-far destination like Stillwater or Rochester, visiting downtown, local attractions and restaurants. 10. How about staying overnight at a local hotel? Try family-friendly hotels like the Radisson Blu at the Mall of America or the Depot in Minneapolis. Leave the chores at home and explore nearby attractions like tourists.

Sports Local skiers put up fast times in section meets Eagan, Burnsville athletes win places at state by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Jack Lindsay of Burnsville and Bailey Servais of Lakeville North were individual champions at the Section 6 Alpine skiing meet Tuesday at Buck Hill. Lindsay gets another chance at the state championship he almost won last year, and Servais gets to go to the state meet with her team, as North finished second in the girls competition. Lindsay, who finished second to Eagan’s Tommy Anderson at the 2016 state meet, had a two-run time of 46.85 seconds in the Section 6 competition. He edged Northfield’s Elliot Boman by .06. Boman was one of three skiers who finished within one second of Lindsay. Mankato West and Edina were first and second in the Section 6 boys meet and earned places in the state team competition Wednesday, Feb. 15, at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Lakeville South finished third, one point behind Edina, and just missed a place in the state meet. The Cougars will have two individual qualifiers for state – Jake Abbott, who finished sixth in 48.94, and Brandon Wentworth, who was 10th in 50.26. The top 10 skiers who are not members of the two qualifying teams advance to state. In addition to Lindsay, Abbott and Wentworth, Rosemount’s Mark Biechler advanced individually by placing 13th in 51.09. Missing the state cutoff was Eastview’s Luke Doolittle, who was third in the 2016 state meet. Doolittle was fourth after the first run in the Section 6 meet but missed a gate on his second run, costing him more than 20 seconds. Apple Valley was sixth, Burnsville seventh, Eastview 11th, Rosemount 13th and Lakeville North 18th in the boys team competition. Servais completed two

Kathryn Kossack finished 10th in 51.54 and Peyton Servais came in 21st in 53.57. Also competing for the Panthers at the section meet were Jane Steel (28th, 55.93), Isabelle Urban (30th, 56.94) and Andrea Ray (35th, 57.90). Lakeville South’s Lauren Geary, a top-10 finisher at state last season, earned the chance to go back by finishing fourth in the Section 6 meet in 49.66. Rosemount’s Renee Boldus (seventh, 51.00) and Eastview’s Kate Young (15th, 52.29) also advanced. Lakeville South was seventh and Eastview ninth in the girls team standings. Rosemount was 11th and Burnsville took 14th. Apple Valley had three individuals in the section meet.

the fastest time in both disciplines to take first in the girls pursuit race by almost two minutes. Patrick Acton of Eagan, ranked third in the state, was Section 1 boys pursuit champion. Acton also helped lead Eagan to the section boys team championship, 29 points in front of Winona. Burnsville was third in the boys meet, two points behind Winona, but only the top two teams advance to state. Burnsville and Eastview, both 2016 state qualifiers, return to the girls

meet this year after taking the top two spots in the Section 1 meet. Koch had times of 15 minutes, 50 seconds in the 5-kilometer classic race and 14:26 in the freestyle race for a combined 30:16. Second was her Burnsville teammate, Krista Holmstrom, who finished in 32:03. Holmstrom had the second-fastest times on each leg of the pursuit race. The Blaze’s Hanna Holmstrom was seventh overall in 34:09. Also skiing for Burnsville in the section meet were Kaitlyn

Qualley (15th, 35:39), Taylor Horner (35th, 38:58), Danielle Thompson (42nd, 40:13) and Rachel Dobrzynski (46th, 41:12).

Lightning’s late-season run earns No. 1 seed Playoff rematch with Eagan is possible by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview is 5-0-1 in its last six girls hockey games against Eagan. Has the Lightning figured something out about Eagan, or does that mean the Wildcats are overdue for a victory against their neighboring rival? They might find out in the coming days. Eastview’s 4-3 victory over Eagan on Saturday afternoon allowed the Lightning to jump past the Wildcats for second place in the South Suburban Conference. It also likely was key in Eastview getting the No. 1 seed in the Section 3AA playoffs that began Wednesday. Eastview, seeking its third consecutive trip to the state tournament, played host to Rosemount at Apple Valley Sports Arena. After Wednesday’s quarterfinals the section tournament moves to a neutral site, Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights. The higher-seeded team no longer has home-ice advantage but does get the last line change, not an insignificant consideration. Eastview and Eagan met for the Section 3AA championship the last couple of years, and it wouldn’t be surprising if that happens again this month.

Eastview and Eagan are the top two seeds in the Section 3AA girls hockey playoffs that started this week. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) The victory in Saturday’s regular-season finale is “a big factor in the seeding process,” Eastview coach Herb Harvey said. “The younger girls probably don’t know how the seeding works, but the older girls who have played in the state tournament the last couple of years, they definitely know how big it is.” Bigger still for the Lightning is its recent play. Eastview was 6-9-2 after an 8-4 loss to Prior Lake on Jan. 7 but won seven of its last eight games to end the regular season 13-10-2. “Our December wasn’t that great,” Harvey said. “We lost some games we probably should have won, but we learned a lot from those games. We got bet-

ter. Our record’s not the best, but we’ve played a lot of top opponents. For us, it’s not about the regular season, it’s about those three games in the section tournament.” Eastview also is getting healthy. One of their top forwards, senior Haley Ford, missed time earlier this season because of an ankle sprain. When she returned she was not 100 percent and didn’t have the mobility to play center, Harvey said. Ford now is back at center, which Harvey says is her best position, enabling senior Natalie Snodgrass to return to wing, which Harvey said is where Snodgrass is most effective. Snodgrass, the Lightning’s leading scorer with 30 points (19 goals, 11

assists), had three points in each of Eastview’s last two games. “We feel like we’re a better team with Haley playing center and Nat playing wing,” Harvey said. In Saturday’s game the Lightning went up 3-0 on goals by Snodgrass, Holly Sodomka and Katie Quaintance. A goal by Mary Keating late in the second period made it 4-1. Eagan’s Brooke Peplinski and Taylor Anderson scored in the third period to tighten the game, but Eastview held on. Megan Plaschko scored a powerplay goal in the second period for the Wildcats (129-4). Anderson assisted on Peplinski’s and Plaschko’s goals.

The Wildcats were 3-42 in their last nine games, which gave Eastview an opening to pass them in the South Suburban Conference standings. Eastview was 11-5-1 in the league and finished with one more point than Eagan, which was 9-4-4 in the SSC. Lakeville South was 15-2 in the conference, with the two losses coming after the Cougars already had clinched the championship. Eagan was home against Hastings in a Section 3AA quarterfinal game Wednesday. If the Wildcats face Eastview again this season it would be in the Section 3AA championship game. The teams played for the Section 3AA title the last two years with Eastview winning both, including last year’s 4-3 victory where Snodgrass scored the tying goal with seven seconds left in the third period and the winner in overtime. All of Eastview’s last five victories over Eagan were by one or two goals. One of Lakeville South’s late-season losses was 1-0 to Eastview. While it didn’t affect the conference title race, it was an important step for the Lightning. “When you beat a team like South, which had been undefeated in the conference and was ranked in the top seven or eight (in Class AA) all year, it definitely builds confidence,” Harvey said. “It tells the girls, ‘You know what? We

can beat a good team.’ ”

Playoff preview Other Section 3AA quarterfinal games Wednesday had Apple Valley (11-12-2) playing Burnsville (9-13-3) at Apple Valley Sports Arena, and East Ridge (16-9) playing Park of Cottage Grove (8-15-2). The Eastview-Rosemount winner plays Apple Valley or Burnsville in the semifinals at 1 p.m. Saturday at Veterans Memorial Community Center. The other semifinal between the Eagan-Hastings winner and the East RidgePark winner follows at 3. The Section 3AA championship game is 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at VMCC. South Suburban Conference teams earned the top three seeds in the Section 1AA playoffs. The section has seven teams, meaning No. 1-seeded Lakeville South (17-8) has a first-round bye. The Cougars, who have won the section the last two years, play Dodge County (13-11-1) or Rochester John Marshall (15-9-1) in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Saturday at Hasse Arena. In the other half of the Section 1AA bracket, No. 2-seeded Lakeville North (14-11) played Rochester Century (6-19) in the quarterfinals, while third-seeded Farmington (13-11-1) faced Rochester Mayo (14-11). The winners play in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Two factors will be considered in the contractor selection process: price and performance. The process for the consideration of proposals for the award of this Project will take into account not only the Contract amount bid for construction items, but also the bidder’s ability and performance on previous similar projects, within and outside the City of Eagan, and the bidder’s availability of major equipment to perform this project.

C.D.S.T. at the Eagan Municipal Center at 3830 Pilot Knob Road on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 in the Eagan Room (2nd Floor). The purpose of the conference is to provide details and answer questions regarding the evaluation/ selection criteria that will be used, along with bid price, to select a Contractor for contract award under the Best Value Contracting Authority. Failure to attend this meeting shall eliminate an absent bidder’s bid submission from contract award consideration. Attendance at the conference will be recorded.

Manley said based on a market study, the neighborhood is good for upscale twin homes. Their neighbors would include single-family residential neighbors to the north and Red Pine Elementary is within walking distance. Another question, if the hurdles are cleared, remains about the West End Hunting and Fishing Club to the south. They people who live there will likely hear the gun club. According to a letter sent by a concerned neighbor to city staff during the public hearing last month, CENTER, from 1A The operating loss has declined each year except 2015, when it rose by about $10,200 to $87,817. The previous year was another landmark year, when the deficit was more than halved from 2013’s total of $160,113. “I can’t sit here and say what numbers we’re going to hit going forward,� said Luther, who came to Burnsville in October 2011 after serving as assistant general manager and general manager of the 10,000-seat Rockford MetroCentre arena (now BMO Harris Bank Center) in Rockford, Illinois. “It’s too early to tell for this year. But we’re just in a good position to continue success.� He acknowledges hearing the question since he came to Burnsville: When will the place break even? Luther’s answer is that with a good business plan

It’s still early in the process and there are several hurdles yet to clear, but developers are looking at building twin homes in southeastern Eagan. a neighbor in a nearby de- unable to entertain guests oped residential property velopment wrote he can until after 9 p.m. near the gun club in the hear gun shots at about Developers are well past, and sales were swift. 85 decibels while sitting aware of the gun club. He mentioned several on his back deck and he’s Manley said he devel- times during the Planand strategic investments, the annual operating loss — which is subsidized by taxpayers — will take care of itself. “It’s a number that really gauges if we’re successful or not,� Luther said. “We’ve seen such a decline in that number over the years that it’s really just showing we’re on the right path.� Growth in the number of concerts and other events in the 1,000-seat main auditorium contributed to 2016’s success, along with increased food and beverage sales and solid profits from the center’s “angel fund� performance series. Luther’s employer, Iowa-based facilities manager VenuWorks, also won council approval last year for a two-year extension of its Ames Center contract. “That was another big achievement for us� in 2016, Luther said. Events in the main

auditorium totaled 156, compared with 139 the previous year, according to VenuWorks. The number of concerts rose from 20 to 24, and included some notable names — rocker Todd Rundgren, the Oak Ridge Boys, the Rides (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Stephen Stills and Barry Goldberg) and ex-punk rocker Henry Rollins, who performed his intense spoken-word act in November. “There were definitely a lot of punk rock jackets,� Luther said of the Rollins audience. “There were hipsters. It was an audience that we haven’t had before, and it was exciting to have a new audience.� A new, permanent concession stand debuted in December. Points of sale were increased from two to three, and new screens show food and beverage items along with upcoming shows. The old mobile concession stand was moved upstairs, adding

more points of sale. Net food and beverage profit rose from about $113,000 in 2015 to $138,000, Luther said, and the last quarter of concessions sales was up by about $10,000 over the previous quarter, hinting at what the new stand can achieve. “Our (per-customer) spending went up,� he said. “We also had higher gross sales, but knowing that the consumers were spending more showed that we could get through the lines a lot quicker.� Shows in the “angel fund� series netted profit of $37,461 compared with the $6,825 forecast in the budget, Luther said. Angel fund shows are those that the otherwise rentalonly venue buys. The center’s angel fund was seeded with $50,000 in city money described as a loan. Shows in the main auditorium are the center’s primary profit center, Luther said, and concessions

ning Commission meeting last month the developers will add several noisediminishing features, such as thicker windows, to the houses. “We’ll take every step we can above and beyond what is required by code,� Manley said. Scott Swenson, representing the West End Hunting and Fishing Club, spoke at the hearing last month as well. He had no objection to the development, but wanted it to be clear that potential residents should know there’s a gun club nearby so there will be no surprises. He said activity is growing at the gun club, particularly due to high school leagues. “We don’t want neighbors to be surprised or disappointed they can’t be on their deck until 9 p.m. at night,� Swenson said. Neither did Maguire. “It should be clear to the applicant they’re

responsible to mitigate noise,� Maguire said. “We would like to know how to disclose the buyers about the noise.� There’s a railroad to the west, which doesn’t have a high use, Manley said. Unlike a few other Eagan residents, one thing residents wouldn’t have to worry much about is airport noise because it’s outside of the Airport Noise Policy Zone area. The main access to the development would be along Biscayne Avenue. At least one wetland is located on the property, thus a wetland delineation will be required. But first, the Metropolitan Council has to approve the land use designation change and the developers will need another vote by the Eagan City Council.

are the “primary ancillary revenue stream.� The ability to take risks on the angel fund shows has boosted the bottom line, said Luther, the center’s third director since it opened. He’s done an “outstanding job� reducing the operating deficit, said Kathy Cleveland, chair of the center’s citizen advisory commission. Commissioners are seeking new ways to engage the community in the facility, possibly through partnerships with area schools, she said. Commissioners also want more feedback on the kind of programming people want, she said. “We’re taking a deep dive on that,� Cleveland said.

Thisweekend Real-life courtroom drama informs mystery writer’s work Colin T. Nelson featured at Feb. 21 author event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Colin T. Nelson’s years as an attorney have provided ample source material for his mystery and suspense fiction. His three decades as a trial lawyer are evident in his debut trilogy of novels, beginning with “Reprisal,� whose central character is a prosecutor. “I have worked with every imaginable type of person, criminals and the court system people,� he said. “It has taught me the wide variety of humans that occupy our world and given me tolerance for all types of people and behavior. “In a sense, a writer is a social commentator and my work has given me a great and valuable perch from which to observe all of humanity — at its worst and, often, at its best.� Nelson, of Edina, is set to speak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library as part of the Meet the Author series presented by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Admission is free. He plans to discuss his novel “Up Like Thunder,� about an American finance expert who disappears in the southeast Asian nation of Myanmar. Nelson spoke with this newspaper recently about his writing habits, the allure of mystery fiction and how his courtroom experiences have been incorporated into his books. Q: At what point in your life did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I traveled there about a year and half ago for fun and to do the research. Q: What mystery novels, other than your own, would you

recommend to readers interested in the genre? A: I don’t have any specific books to recommend, except to encourage writers, and everyone, to read widely. We’ve become a nation of tweeters and clichÊs. It’s important to force yourself to read things that stretch your mind and attitudes and cause you to think — maybe even in ways that make you uncomfortable.

ROBOTICS, from 1A The participants include three each from Eastview and Eagan high schools, two each from Apple Valley High and Dakota Hills Middle, one from Valley Middle and a team combined from different District 196 schools. “They were just as shocked to hear they had won an award as they were when they realized they were going to state,� said Melissa Schwartz, coach of the first-year team CrushBots at Dakota Hills Middle School in Eagan. “Their hands were shaking and there were tears in their eyes.� Similar reactions were shared by other students throughout the district as teams advanced by either having a high-scoring robot or earning a special award at a qualifying event for the state’s 169 teams. The other qualifying teams are: Eastview High — Blue Lightning, Short Circuits and Storm Warning Eagan High — The Green Girls, The Q is Silqent and Sunburst Apple Valley High — Iron Maidens and Attack on Robot Dakota Hills Middle — CrushBots and SOLID Valley Middle — Metal Melters Combined — The Fourth Dimension District 196 has been focused in recent years on its STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum. The district has a K-12 STEM magnet school pathway, in addition to having other STEM-focused curriculum in other schools.

Members of the Dakota Hills Middle School FIRST Tech team CrushBots are Audrey Schwartz, Billie Alexander, Cassie Sievwright, Kristin Cullen and Samantha Ballesteros. The district has also embraced the extracurricular programs offered by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which includes FIRST Lego Challenge, FIRST Tech and FIRST Robotics. Dean Kamen, FIRST founder, said he created the program because he saw sports figures celebrated and recognized by nearly all, but people couldn’t name notable science and technology pioneers. Anne Marie DeBoard, who helps coach two Apple Valley teams, calls FIRST Tech a sport of the mind. She said some students who are new to FIRST Tech don’t know how to turn a screwdriver the correct way. “They are rookies,� Schwartz said of her own team. “They didn’t know

anything. They didn’t know how to build the robot. They didn’t know how to program in Java.� During the season, the students are guided by tech savvy adult mentors — many of them from local companies like Uponor, Dakota Electric and Thomson Reuters — as they learn to design, engineer and build a robot in school classrooms, garages or basements. Teams typically meet for a couple of hours a week, but increase their time together in the weeks before competitions. They learn to work as a team, document their successes and failures, and articulate their ideas to judges or groups during public presentations. “Those are really important skills, especially since many of these kids are on the introverted end of the spectrum,� De-

:n

to advocate for funding of STEM programs. She said FIRST Tech teams in District 196 bring their robots to elementary schools in an effort to turn young students on to the activity. “The kids leverage that pipeline to build more STEM students,� DeBoard said. DeBoard said teams with girls on them are encouraging elementaryaged girls to get involved in STEM programs like FIRST Lego League. The pipeline works the other way, too. For some teams starting out in middle school, they are able to learn from high school teams that are more than willing to share their knowledge, according to DeBoard. She said local companies are involved in FIRST because they see the value of the program. FIRST, which was founded in 1989, has been around long enough that it’s showing up on resumes hiring managers see for open positions. She said when employers see FIRST on a resume, they know that the applicant can work in a team and has a certain skill set. One wouldn’t be surprised if tech recruiters are found in the crowd this weekend in St. Paul. But these students aren’t looking to find a job just yet. They are aiming to be one of the eight teams that will advance to the next level of competition – FIRST North Super Regional in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. More about Minnesota FIRST is at http://www. hightechkids.org.
