It’s been a relatively snowy and chilly winter, but that hasn’t stopped a dedicated group of runners in Eagan. The “Eagan parkrun� completed its 42nd event last weekend. About 10 runners braved -12 degree wind chill Saturday.

Eagan parkrun is a free, weekly timed 5K open to all abilities. A group of volunteers help organize the 9 a.m. event every Saturday morning in Thomas Lake Park in Eagan. The first 5K was April 22, 2017. Organizers canceled the parkrun Jan. 6 with wind chills near -20 degrees along with the parkrun on New Year’s Day.

Know the Truth shows personal struggles with abuse by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Talking to young people about drug abuse is a tricky topic. Kids are quick to spot a half truths and they’re wary of ultimatums. But, an authentic, reallife conversation can get their attention. Know the Truth is a substance abuse prevention program organized by the Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge. The organization has partnered with 160 schools throughout Minnesota hoping to prevent substance abuse. Program leaders were at Black Hawk Middle School in Eagan to talk with students about substance abuse earlier this week. Their presentation went beyond “Just Say No� and “Drug Abuse Resistance Education/D.A.R.E� campaigns of old. In part, presenters shared their personal, often heartbreaking, yet genuine stories of their journey through addiction and recovery. “They share their struggles,� said Tracee Anderson, from Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge. “They let them know that everyone struggles. It’s how you choose to handle them.� They spoke of loss and heartbreak. They shared the damage they’ve suffered both mentally and physically. It’s not every day a room of middle school students is completely quiet. “We have presenters closer in age to the students who can relate to them,� Anderson said. “We don’t have them go in

And they’re worried what their parents will think. “It shows that kids still care about their parents,� Anderson said. Legal concerns was third most mentioned deterrent for area middle school students. And attitudes are evolving. She said prescription drugs and marijuana abuse is on the rise. “I’ve heard students say it’s almost easier to find marijuana or pills than it is to find someone to buy alcohol for you,� Anderson said. “With the availability of marijuana, it’s becoming a social norm. And they figure if prescription pills are prescribed by a doctor, they feel it’s OK.� One way to measure success is to see how many students vow to not use illegal drugs and to not drink before they’re 21. About 90 percent say they won’t use drugs, and 75 percent say they won’t use alcohol until they’re 21, Anderson said. Making it to 21 appears to be a key factor. Anderson said studies have shown that most people who abuse drugs and alcohol start before they’re 18.

According to middle school survey results, Anderson said about 10 percent admit to using illegal drugs such as marijuana, prescription pills or synthetic drugs. She said out of the almost 5,000 middle school students they’ve surveyed, two admitted to using methamphetamine or heroin.

‘Hearing Mother Earth’ celebrates Heartbeat Local dance studio honors 20th anniversary by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The heartbeat is the rhythm of life. These words couldn’t be more true for Deborah Lysholm and Kristin Freya, creators of Heartbeat Studios, the premier performing arts center in Apple Valley. They’ve dedicated 20 years of their life to serving their students, building connections with teachers and bolstering their programs at Heartbeat. On Sunday, Feb. 11, at 1 p.m. and again at 5 p.m., people crowded into the Eastview High School auditorium to celebrate the studio’s 20th anniversary and experience Heartbeat’s original production, “Hearing Mother Earth.� Since its formation in 1998, Heartbeat has expanded from a dance studio to a comprehensive performing arts center. The program has grown geographically, too — from classes in the Apple Valley location to travel study/friendship programs that allow students to learn performing arts in Barcelona, Tokyo and around the world. This performance paid tribute to all of these areas of growth. From dancing to singing, to poetry and shadow-puppetry, the nearly two-and-a-halfhour production featured acts from many artistic traditions. Students, teachers and guest performers took the stage to show off their crafts. The show began with performances by some of Heartbeat’s youngest dancers. As the lights came up, students dressed in sneakers and zip-ups offered a hip-hop performance that earned hearty applause. Next, ballet students performed together, the older students leading the younger students in showcasing their techni-

Following the performance, the lights came up and the children were invited to sit with their families in the audience to watch the remainder of the show. From there, the program picked up speed. Choir and poetry performances set the tone for what was ahead. Ballet, jazz, modern, tap, hiphop and Hawaiian dances brought the audience along on a quest to hear the heartbeat of mother earth. Themed around the galaxy, water and land, sun and moon, elements and forces of nature, each scene celebrated the connectedness of nature. Special guests Jason Samuels Smith and Guillem Alonso stunned the audience with their tap acts. Other guest performers included: Vox Medusa, directed by Freya; Buckets and Tap Shoes, comprised of Andy and Rick Aus-

land; and The Ages. Over the past 20 years, Lysholm and Freya have seen their studio grow into a space where artists can grow, not only as dancers, but in whatever creative capacity they desire. “Heartbeat has grown from a traditional dance studio to a free-spirited family,� Lysholm said. “As I had always envisioned, Heartbeat is a true performing arts center, giving equal emphasis to dance, acting and singing. We are sincere believers in developing well-rounded performers.� “We have grown from a dance studio to a comprehensive performing arts center that includes our academy program preparing students for a life, to whatever extent they want to take it, in the performing arts,� Freya said. “It’s all super exciting.� Heartbeat’s greatest accomplishment, they say, is not the number of classes

it offers, but the number of students who have become part of the Heartbeat community. “Heartbeat’s biggest accomplishment is touching the lives of our students, their families and our teachers,� Lysholm said. “The fact that our show featured dance, acting, singing and performances by renowned performing artists within the local and international community, conveys the importance to Heartbeat to maintain friendships and respect for individuals in the performing arts. “A huge accomplishment is seeing the confidence of our students as

they perform. It is beyond their young years and has been remarked about often.� For Freya, the Heartbeat community is so close it is like a family. “(Our greatest accomplishment is) our students and our love for them; the family we have created with them; witnessing the effortless commitment they have for each other in the classroom and on stage,� Freya said. “This commitment extends to their teachers as well.� Watching the performance on Sunday, both Lysholm and Freya were moved. They said they weren’t thinking of their own accomplishment — creating a dance studio from scratch and building an award-wining performing arts program. Instead, they were thinking about their students and staff. “(I felt) pride in our students and teachers,� Freya said. “(I’m) moved beyond words that our students, even after high school, still feel that they want to come back and be part of Heartbeat. I loop in my mind the comments from my students explaining how much studying with me has meant to them.� “Love. Simply, love,� Lysholm said. “As with every show we do, I find a private corner in the stage wings from which to watch the show, while heartfelt warmth envelops me. Being on stage feels to me like I’m in my living room. I chose to be here and the audience is a welcomed guest in it. I want to make them feel happy that they set aside this moment in

time to share the joy.� In the next 20 years, Freya is looking forward to new opportunities, such as the upcoming performance of “Harry Potter,� travel study trips overseas and continuing to share in unique, creative processes with other teachers. For Lysholm, it’s about touching more lives. “More three-year-old faces smiling as they take their first dance class ever. More teens making the decision whether to pursue the performing arts as a career, more adults wanting to do something special for themselves,� Lysholm said. “ M o s t exciting to me is continuing Heartbeat’s ability to not hesitate when doors for new opportunities open, not knowing what the end result will be, but being assured that it will be a fantastic journey regardless.� Heartbeat Studios is located in Apple Valley at 7661 W. 145th St. For more information, visit www.heartbeat-studios. com.

Opinion 360 Communities adapts to meet the needs and the future by Jeff Mortensen SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The community landscape is everchanging. Populations shift, new needs develop, and resources expand and contract. For more than 45 years, 360 Communities staff members have worked hard to understand clients holistically and provide customized support. Our mission reads: In the spirit of caring for our neighbors, 360 Communities provides hope and support to people by engaging communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency. We help victims of domestic and sexual violence, children struggling in school, and people working through poverty. Our organization in a strong position to increase our impact in Dakota County and are focused on sustainable growth, developing people, and measurable results. For 360 Communities, status quo is never the option because it would not be in the best interest of the people we serve. Despite two significant funding losses in 2017, we finished the fiscal year achieving budget. And for the first three months of our current fiscal year, we demonstrated the strongest fundraising performance in the last decade. This did not happen by chance. Our thoughtful investment in developing staff and emphasizing leadership throughout the entire organization has helped 360 Communities position itself as a leader in its ability to intervene, stabilize, support, goal-plan, and advocate. With your help, we are positioned to break more negative cycles within families through investment in prevention and youth. The daily news is filled with reports of domestic violence and sexual assault, stories of the education gap and students struggling in schools, and people facing the hardships of poverty including homelessness, under-employment, job loss, and unaffordable medical costs. The need for

Guest Columnist

Jeff Mortensen our work is clear. One in four women experience the horror of domestic violence, and in Minnesota last year 24 people were murdered due to intimate partner violence. One in four women will be sexually assaulted before age 25. In 2017 Dakota County public schools reported that 38 percent of third-graders were not achieving reading standards and a third of all students were eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch. There are 32,000 people in Dakota County who are living in poverty. Last year, 360 Communities helped 2,979 women and children find safety from family violence, 427 victims of sexual violence find healing and support, and 3,581 students improve grades, attendance, and behavior. Our staff and volunteers helped 9,910 people living in poverty gain access to nutritious food, avoid homelessness, maintain employment, and achieve stability. This level of immediate support is significant, but these numbers don’t fully illustrate the longer term impacts. Ultimately, community-based organizations need to understand how effective they are at reversing the larger negative trends that pervade our communities. We have been resolute about building the infrastructure and knowledge necessary to evaluate the long-term impacts 360 Communities is having with people accessing services. In 2017, we examined program models deeply and identified the differences being made that improve an individual’s condition on a long-term basis. Specific outcome measures were developed and the methods to capture that informa-

tion were implemented. We know that 360 Communities is doing great work and are excited about this improved method to prove our long-term impact on the community in a quantitative way. Some of the positive results we believe 360 Communities services achieve include: breaking the cycle of child abuse within families, decreasing domestic violence crimes, improving high school graduation rates, reducing homelessness, and providing economic stability. Go to www.360Communities.org/news/video and view some of the human stories that illustrate these impacts. Dakota County is experiencing a growing demographic shift and now includes 20 percent people of color. 360 Communities believes diversity is a business priority tied to organizational excellence and better results. We have been successful in shaping our board of directors. Today, it is 21 percent diverse and includes individuals who have utilized our services as well as a high school student. We believe that as a community-based organization, we need to reflect the demographic changes within the communities we serve. There is much to learn from underrepresented voices. As part of our strategic staff development, we have implemented new methods to increase self-awareness, develop skills to be better allies for clients, and foster a culture of inclusion and retention. Talent development remains a vital component of our continued success and one of the reasons why 360 Communities staff have been called heroes, saints, and angels by the individuals we serve. 360 Communities is also blessed by 1,200 dedicated and courageous volunteers who donated more than 44,000 hours last year, pouring significance, dignity and love back into the community. If you’re interested in adding something significant to your life in 2018, consider volunteering at 360 Communities by applying at

www.360communities.org/volunteer. Here are some other opportunities to get involved: • The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign will be here soon. It is the largest food drive in the state with about 300 participating food shelves, including our network of five food shelves in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington, Lakeville, and Rosemount. 360 Communities has a goal to raise $100,000 and 50,000 pounds of food during the month of March. You can find food drive resources by visiting www.360Communities.org. Get involved and help us exceed this goal. • The 33rd Annual Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness Luncheon takes place on March 23 at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. The theme of this year’s event is “Prevention: let’s start with our youth.” Speakers will include a high school counselor and a student sharing perspectives on sexual violence in schools. We will address the need for more prevention work with our students to stem the tide of sexual violence in our culture. Cost is $30 per person. Register online at www.360Communities.org. Committed volunteers and donors provide the solid foundation of sustainability from which we can grow. Thank you. It is only with community support that 360 Communities can provide the critical services that make a significant impact on families. Consider making a donation or volunteering today. Visit www.360Communities.org for more information on how you can help 360 Communities to continue to evolve and meet the challenges of our future. Jeff Mortensen is president and CEO of 360 Communities, a Dakota County nonprofit that works to prevent violence, ensure school success, and promote long-term selfsufficiency.

Great free planning help for students with disabilities by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Barb Ziemke, of Lakeville, and Dario Otero, of Rosemount, represent America at its best. As they help young people with some form of disability identify and develop their gifts while planning for their future, they offer hope and opportunity. They make Minnesota better for all of us. Ziemke’s son, now in his late 20s, has a developmental disability. According to his mother, he’s doing very well because of the post-high-school planning they did. For the last 16 years, Ziemke has helped families as part of her responsibilities with the nationally known PACER organization. She summarizes her work as helping people develop “menus and maps.” The menus are options for their future that students with some form of disability can consider. The maps are steps and strategies that young people and their families can take to reach their goals. PACER offers a vast array of free videos, workshops, a newsletter, Facebook page and other written materials to help students and families develop plans for after high school. And Ziemke has several recommendations for families: • “Start early. The best time to start is now.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan • “Recognize that the school bus will stop coming someday. • “Parents can be ‘adult services detectives.’ Don’t wait for people to hand you the menu. • “Have plan B because plan A does not always work out. • “Think ahead about things other than academic skills. • “Don’t underplay importance of families. You are still really needed. • “Know that you are not alone.” PACER has resources in English, Hmong, Somali and Spanish. Information is at http://bit.ly/2GX86Ec or call 800-537-2237 and ask for the transition team. Dario Otero could have used the services that PACER provides. He grew up near Detroit. He began receiving services in third grade because he was diagnosed with dyslexia, which makes it difficult for him to read. Most of his middle and high school

memories are negative. Many teachers did not want him in their class. An exception was a former real estate agent who became a special education teacher: George Gagniuk. Otero recalls, “He thought I was Barb intelligent, despite my dis- Ziemke ability.” Otero’s most positive high school experiences were playing football. But because he graduated with a 1.8 GPA (below a C), “College was not an option right away.” Fortunately, he and a friend visited Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He learned that if he could pay for the first semester and earn a B average, he would be eligible for a scholarship. With lots of help and hard work, Otero graduated from Bowling Green in 5.5 years. He picked a major that emphasized his strengths: visual communications technology. After graduation, he went into internet car sales, which used his skills. He made lots of money, he said. But he was drawn to one of his college internship sites: the High School for Recording Arts in St. Paul. While there, he passed all but one of the requirements to be a licensed special education teacher. He helped many HSRA students produce YouTube videos for companies. Because

those videos were so successful, HSRA earned the North American Junior Achievement Company of the Year award. Later Otero earned a national Deeper Learning Dario Equity Fellowship. He’s Otero started a new organization, Youth Lens 360, that helps high school students create videos as they develop technical, entrepreneurial and marketing skills. He’s received contracts from the Minnesota Department of Education and the Office of Management and Budget. More information is available here: https://youthlens360.com/. Otero believes high school students must find “people who believe you have a future. People with disabilities can bring a lot of gifts and perspectives.” Ziemke agrees. She’s found “the range of resources can be overwhelming, but help is available.” With their passion, persistence and assistance to others, Ziemke and Otero represent the best of America.

Letters Democrats should unite To the editor: A recent letter writer said he would support Jeff Erdmann, even if he didn’t win the DFL endorsement and ran as an Independent in the 2nd District U.S. House race. I hope that won’t be the case … unless the letter writer wants history to repeat itself. It is time to remind third party voters of their role and place in the electoral process. In several past elections third party voters have determined the outcome. In 2000 Al Gore won the

popular vote for president but lost to George W. Bush because of Ralph Nader in Florida. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote last year by more than 3 million votes, but lost to Donald Trump, primarily because of third party votes in several key states. Few Nader supporters, and fewer Jill Stein/Bernie Sanders voters would have ever wanted to see Bush or Trump in office. Unfortunately, their actual votes had a negative effect on the outcome. In the last 2nd District election Angie Craig would have won, but for the 29,000 votes for Independent can-

didate Paula Overby. Craig only lost by 6,600 votes. I’m sure no Overby supporter would have voted for Lewis, given the chance to do so. So if Craig wins the DFL endorsement, I hope voters like the writer from last week will think twice about supporting Erdmann and a third party. If Erdmann wins the endorsement, then hopefully Craig supporters will support him, as well. It’s time to unite the Democratic Party, not divide it. Unless you really want Republicans to win. If you look at their platforms, Craig and Erdmann are very similar — and

Green Ribbon Initiatives recognizes partnerships Green Ribbon Initiatives, a nonprofit corporation founded in the spring of 2013, is recognizing partnerships between Easter Lutheran Church and various organizations addressing a wide range of community needs. Easter Lutheran assistance is provided through financial contributions, program space, providing volunteers and by raising awareness of needs in our community. Partnerships with Loaves and Fishes, The Open Door and Fare For All help address community hunger by providing healthy meals for community members, access to a food shelf, and opportunity to purchase food at fair and inexpensive rates. Easter Lutheran partners with The Sheridan Project, Oak Ridge Elementary and Black Hawk Middle School providing weekend food for needy children and families of students. Tree House provides programming and life changing opportunities for challenged, marginalized and at-risk youth. Reaching Up Ministries provides homework help, tutoring and enrichment activities for students from Oak Ridge, Greenleaf, and Thomas Lake elementary schools and Falcon Ridge and Black Hawk middle schools.

Counseling services to youth and families are provided in partnership with Cedar Valley Counseling. Easter Lutheran provides a leadership role and participates with the Homeless Coalition in providing shelter for people experiencing homelessness. This partnership incorporates the broader faith community as well as Dakota County Social Services. Partner contributions include program management, financial donations, fundraising efforts, volunteering, promotion and collaborative events. Community engagement connects people from all walks of life. Connected communities enjoy a higher standard of living and improved overall wellness. These recognized partnerships help in meeting basic needs, enhancing lives, and providing opportunity, and everyone benefits from viewing the world through the eyes of others and in serving others. Easter Lutheran Church and its partners demonstrate that partnerships — ordinary people working together — can and do accomplish more than any one entity can in meeting everyday needs in the community. These partnerships demonstrate that

not all problems and challenges need to depend on governmental intervention to make a difference in the lives of citizens. Easter Lutheran Church desires to see its members engage in the community around them serving both its mission (to grow in faith and carry on the work of Jesus Christ) as well as its vision (transforming hearts and lives for Christ) carried out in part by blurring the lines between church and community. Green Ribbon Initiatives was formed for the purpose of identifying and celebrating significant community engagement initiatives and partnerships in Eagan. Awards are presented to exemplary initiatives in Eagan which build relationships and a collective sense of community in Eagan while promoting sustainable action that strengthens community engagement. More information about Green Ribbon Initiatives Awards, nomination forms, application forms, and ways to help can all be found at www.greenribbon.info. Green Ribbon Initiatives continues to solicit community partnerships to recognize as well as friends who are interested in being financial partners and in providing other support.

Get Educated About Taxes

While changes in the new tax bill affect how parents and students may pay for education, much remains the same First in a six-part series

BY JESSE DARLAND CTW FEATURES

Because the last few months of 2017 saw so many versions of the tax reform bill working their way through both chambers of Congress, there’s much confusion about what exactly is changing for taxpayers in the 2018 tax year. That’s especially true for parents thinking about how to save and spend for their children’s educational expenses. According to the experts we spoke with, the good news is that not much is changing. With a few exceptions, parents and students should continue to save and pay for education as they have done in prior years. In fact, especially for parents who are able to afford private school, the new tax law offers some advantages. First of all, 529 plans are being expanded so that they may apply to more than just college or university expenses. These special tax-advantaged savings plans used to only cover college or university tuition, fees, books or other supplies. The 2017 tax reform modifies these savings plans to allow up to $10,000 to be withdrawn tax-free each year to pay for public or private elementary or secondary schools, including religiously affiliated institutions. According to Douglas E. Ehlen, a financial planner in Indianapolis, parents need to keep in mind that the $10,000 limitation applies on a per-student basis, not a per-account basis. “Thus, an individual who is a designated beneficiary of multiple accounts may receive a maximum of $10,000 in distributions tax-free, regardless whether the funds were distributed from multiple accounts,� he says. Any excess distributions would be subject to tax as regular income. The legislation also

allows parents to roll 529 plan funds over into ABLE accounts, special savings accounts benefiting disabled persons, without incurring penalties. The same person must be designated as the beneficiary of both accounts. Ehlen points out that any rolled-over amounts count towards the overall limit on amounts that can be contributed to an ABLE account within a taxable year. The 2017 legislation also affects how the IRS treats the discharge of some student loan debt. “Any income resulting from the discharge of student debt on account of the death or disability of the student will be excluded from taxable income,� Ehlen says.

Also, the act excludes from income the repayment of a taxpayer’s loans under the Indian Health Service Loan Repayment Program. Ehlen says that there are several things that are not going to change when it comes to taxes

and paying for education. Many of these items were once on the chopping block in various versions of the bill, but the final bill left them intact. These include: $ Taxpayers may still deduct the interest paid on student loans. $ Graduate students who receive tuition waivers may still exclude the cost of tuition from their income. $ Employees who receive employer-provided education assistance do not need to report such assistance as income. $ The rules for qualifying for education credits remain the same. $ Interest on U.S. savings bonds used to pay higher education expenses may still be excluded from income. In addition, while early versions of the bill allowed homeschooling parents to use 529 savings plans to pay for homeschooling expenses, that provision was ultimate stricken from the final bill.

Endicott has been on leave since the investigation began on Jan. 5. Lakeville Area School District Superintendent Michael Baumann sent an email to staff and parents assuring them that the information they have received regarding the allegations against Endicott “do not indicate that student data has been compromised.� The email also states when Endicott was placed on leave all access to the facilities, systems and technology were cut off. He has not interacted with students or staff and is “prohibited from being on any district property.� Jason Bakke was appointed as interim principal. Apple Valley police and the Dakota County electronic crimes unit continue to investigate. Endicott’s next court date is scheduled for March. 8. He faces up to a year in prison and a $3,000 fine.

Care provider charged with injuring infant by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Burnsville woman who was caring for a 9-month-old boy is accused of inflicting injuries that caused him severe and permanent brain damage. Mei Yen Lam, 33, was charged Wednesday with first-degree felony assault (causing great bodily harm). Lam called 911 to her apartment at 2100 Cliff Road E. on Feb. 5, according to the criminal complaint. She told responders the infant appeared to choke on his food, spit up, became limp and stopped breathing. Doctors at the University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital determined the boy suffered brain and spinal cord injuries, the complaint said. He had bleeding on both sides of his brain and two fractured vertebrae. Emergency brain surgery was required to treat the lifethreatening injuries. The boy will recover but have

“permanent impairment,� the complaint said. Both his thighs were bruised. A child abuse pediatrician said the injuries weren’t accidental. Lam told officers at the apartment she had been caring for the boy at his mother’s request since Jan. 29. She said she was trying to feed him before she called 911. In a subsequent interview, Lam said she threw the boy on the bed “really hard� multiple times in the days preceding Feb. 5. “I know I cannot hide it. You will find out,� she said, according to the complaint. An investigator spoke with one of the boy’s doctors about Lam’s admissions. “The doctor indicated that (the boy’s) injuries were consistent with being thrown, but much more force was used than what Lam described,� the complaint said. Lam’s husband told an investigator the boy cried See CHARGE, 11A

WEDDING Wedding tools make planning easier Ensuring an event goes on with minimal hiccups takes patience and thorough planning. This is especially true for weddings, when many elements must merge together for a memorable day. TodayÕs couples have a bevy of new resources at their disposal to facilitate wedding planning. The internet makes vetting vendors and reading reviews that much easier, but wedding-related apps also can simplify wedding planning. The following are some top picks as culled by Wedding Shoppe, Inc., The Knot and Lifehacker. Wedding Spot: Couples can search for their ideal wedding venue based on location, budget, styles, and capacity. The website enables users to plan their ideal

Wedding tips can help keep stress minimal and reduce expenses.

number to figure it out. 4. Embrace inexpensive decor. Dollar stores and craft stores are great places to find inexpensive decorative items. Empty wine bottles can be painted or glazed to serve as vases. Candle lanterns can be picked up at low cost at many retailers. 5. Create an email address. To have all of the wedding-related details in one place, create a separate email address exclusively for wedding correspondence. 6. Use veil weights. These weights can be sewn into veils to prevent flyaways during outdoor ceremonies or photoshoots. 7. Keep bugs at bay. Spray chair and reception table legs with insect repellent. Dryer sheets also can be tucked into inconspicuous spots to keep bugs away. 8. Save money on favors. Unless the favor is something to eat or something especially practical, you may consider skipping the favors altogether, as many guests tend to forget to take them home anyway.

9. Use page markers for seating. Use multicolored, self-sticking page markers to create easy seating arrangements. Each color can represent a category: His, Hers, Friends, Work. 10. Make a photo clothesline. A clever and inexpensive idea is to pin photos of the couple to a string, cataloguing how they met and their time together leading up to the wedding. 11. Use loose flower centerpieces. Loose flowers in a vase are easier to sort and transport home for guests who want a memento. Make precut butcherÕs paper or cellophane available to make bouquets. 12. Stock up on string lights. Lights can be wrapped around trees outdoors, strung indoors around windows or draped along buffet tables to create a romantic ambiance. Weddings can be expensive and stressful; therefore, couples can use all the tips they can to corral their expenses and tame their nerves.

Brides and grooms understandably feel a little stress when planning their weddings. Adding to the pressure is the fact that, according to a WeddingWire.com report, the average couple in their 30s spends $32,000 on their wedding. That is a lot of money riding on one day. But planning a wedding can be even more fun than it is stressful, especially for those couples who employ a few tricks of the wedding planning trade. 1. Fake the cake. Save some money by asking the bakery cake artist to decorate a foam-tiered “mockâ€? cake for pictures and display, and serve guests from an inexpensive sheet cake in the kitchen. 2. Use labels. Once the guest list is finalized, create a database of guestsĂ• addresses. Print out two sets of labels: One for addressing the invitations and the other to address the thank-you cards. 3. RSVP tricks: Number the back of RSVP cards and correspond the numbers to the guest list. If one or more responses is illegible, refer to the

Education is the key to understanding retirement finances By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

The Haven Financial Group in Burnsville specializes in clients who are 55 years of age or older. Larry Kallevig, a part of that team, helps customers reduce their exposure to taxes related to investments, define their strategy for investing, and identify other aspects of retirement planning. Regarding the right time to apply for Social Security benefits, Kallevig said, “There is no blanket statement.� The first step is to become educated, he said. He points out that the three-legged stool of retirement financing includes pensions, retirement savings and Social Security. “People have to understand that 62 may not be the right age for some people to retire,� he said. “Maybe waiting until 70 is the right idea.� Clients need to assess whether they will be receiving a pension, whether they will be drawing on retirement savings, or whether they’re still dependent on a steady income. “Pensions are on the way out,� Kallevig said. “Less than 10 percent of people have them. So if you’re between 20 and 40 years of age, you probably won’t be getting a pension.� In the best scenario, he said, “There should be no surprises. Our job is to prepare you for the worst and hope for the best.�

His firm partners with two law firms on estate planning, Kallevig said, “so we can lead people in the right direction.â€? Regarding upcoming tax changes and how they might affect senior citizens, Kallevig said, “There’s been all kinds of chatter about taxes. Nine of my last 10 customers saved money, ranging from a little for some to quite a bit for one. It’s still on the table.â€? Education is the key to senior citizens better understanding their retirement finances, he said. “Be prepared for both good and bad times,â€? he said. The more advice you have from professionals, the better you’ll understand what you’re doing, he said. FDIC tips for seniors on protecting your finances The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.) website has the following banking and other money-management tips for seniors to consider for their retirement years. • Decide if you need financial help from an expert, and then choose wisely. A financial advisor could help answer questions such as how quickly to take money from savings and how to invest in your later years. It is wise to research the advisor’s background prior to selection. • Prepare for the possibility that you may become unable to handle your finances. Consider writing down a list of your financial institutions and account numbers

and keeping it in a safe place that would be accessible by your loved ones in an emergency. An attorney can help you decide if you should have a legal document known as a power of attorney (POA), which would allow one

Larry Kallevig, Haven Financial Group or more people you designate to make key decisions with as much or as little of your financial or personal life as you choose. • Develop a spending plan for your retirement. Consider new ways to cut costs, such as by letting your auto insurer know you no longer drive your car to work. • Consider limiting the mail and phone calls you receive from marketers. Unsolicited offers from unfamiliar companies can result in you overspending your budget or paying for shoddy merchandise or service from vendors who don’t stand behind their

products. Consider being added to the national Do Not Call Registry (call 1-888-382-1222 or visit www. donotcall.gov). • Review your credit reports even if you don’t plan to apply for a new loan. Mistakes or other errors on your credit reports could make it more costly for you to buy insurance or borrow money. Monitoring your credit reports is a way to detect identity theft. • Use credit cards cautiously. Before making purchases using your credit card, consider whether you will be able to pay your balance in full when the statement arrives, so you will avoid costly interest charges. • Remember that a reverse mortgage will eventually have to be paid back — with interest. Reverse mortgages allow homeowners age 62 or older to borrow against the equity in their homes without having to make monthly payments as long as they meet the terms of their loan agreement, such as staying current on property taxes. However, the money borrowed plus interest must eventually be repaid, usually when you or your heirs sell the house. • Think about ways to turn a hobby or another interest into a part-time job. Other possibilities for supplementing your income in retirement include a seasonal job or freelance consulting. • Know if you’ve agreed to let your bank cover certain overdrafts. You have a choice wheth-

er or not your bank will charge you a fee, perhaps $30 or more, to cover everyday purchases you make with a debit card when you don’t have enough money in your bank account to cover the cost of the purchases. You can change your mind on this decision at any time. • Look into discounts and other deals. Some financial institutions may offer seniors breaks on bank products and services. • Make it easier to manage your money and pay the bills. If you’ve accumulated multiple bank and investment accounts and credit cards over the years, consider whether you can close some you no longer use or need. This can reduce the number of accounts you have to manage. • Organize and protect your important documents. Items to keep at home, in a safe deposit box or another secure place that’s easy for you to get to, may include your bank and brokerage statements, insurance policies, Social Security and company pension records, originals of birth certificates, property deeds and car titles, and other personal and financial papers you or your family might need on short notice. If caregivers or others regularly visit you, make sure that your checkbooks, credit cards and other financial records are protected. Larry Kallevig, Haven Financial Group

MN Attorney General’s OfďŹ ce warns about senior citizen scams The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office website summarizes senior citizen scams as follows:

Computer scams

Lottery scams

Grandparents scam

You may get a call or email from a con artist posing as a representative of a well-known company. The scam artist typically claims your computer has been infected with a virus or is not working properly. The scam artist then says that he can remove the virus or fix the error for a fee if you allow him to remotely access your computer. The scam artist may use this access to steal personal or financial information on your computer, which can be used to commit the crimes of theft or identity theft.

Lottery scams typically begin with an unexpected email, letter or phone call from a scam artist who claims you have won money in a lottery or sweepstakes. Invariably, the scam artist will ask you to send money to pay purported taxes, insurance or other fees to claim the winnings. Or, the scam artist may ask for your bank account information, supposedly so your winnings can be directly transferred into your bank account. The scam artist uses this information to empty your bank account.

A con artist may call or email you posing as a relative in distress or someone purporting to represent the relative (such as a lawyer or police officer). The scam artist may frantically begin the phone call with a variation of “Grandpa, it’s me,� followed by a description of his or her purported problem (arrested, in jail, in a car accident, in need of a lawyer,). The scam artist will likely attempt to create a sense of urgency and encourage you not to tell anyone, including the parents of the “grandchild,� about the matter. You will then be instructed to send cash—usually by wire transfer, money order or a reloadable prepaid card.

Specialist in elder law points out scams against seniors now are trying to get them back, Maser said. One of her recommendations is to make sure During her 35 years of other people are involved work in the arena of elder law, Kris Maser says she has seen changes globally, including the ability for people to hurt each other. “With money moving from one generation to the next, the opportunity for abuse is quite substantial,� she said. “It starts with helping a senior citizen shovel the walk, or helping with grocery purchases, and pretty soon someone can get into a seniors’ assets and the assets Kris Maser, Maser Law disappear.

She uses the example of her own mother, now 97 and at full capacity, except that she’s hard of hearing. With the current abundance of fake telephone calls from people preying on senior citizens by pretending to be stranded grandchildren in need of money, Maser said, her family prefers to leave voicemail messages for their mother, instead of having her answer the telephone when it rings. “Mother doesn’t answer the phone unless she recognizes the number,� Maser said. “It’s really reduced a lot of issues,� she said. “Limiting the access of predators is a very easy thing to do. Once you give a predator money, your name is all over the country.� It’s never too early to begin financial planning, according to Maser. “We tell people that once they reach the age of 18, they should think about a power of attorney and a health care directive,� she said. “Once you get married and have children, you need to talk about a will.� The minimum requirement for everyone is a

health care directive, power of attorney, and a will, Maser said. She suggests that people review their estate plans every five years. “As you reach retirement, you need to think about how you will protect your assets,� she said. “We do ongoing plans for people. We talk every 18 months. As they begin to

age and start losing family and friends, we want to know that there’s always someone there looking out for them. Otherwise, they’re just ripe for abuse.� Maser helps many clients work through life care planning. “The average nursing home stay is 2.3 years,� she said. “How long do you plan to stay at

home? How will you fund your care? Will your kids be able to help? Those are the questions you need to consider as we develop a plan.� Maser, who characterizes her life’s calling as “social work in lawyers’ clothes,� says, “I love this practice. I work with very kind people, both clients and colleagues.�

AARP suggests ways to get the best money advice The AARP website offers 10 suggestions on ways for seniors to get the best money advice. 1. If you are going to meet with a planner, first check his or her professional credentials online to see whether they are serious, hard-to-get designations — like the CFP (certified financial planner) or CFA (chartered financial analyst). 2. Go to FINRA.org and SEC.gov to see if regulatory actions have been taken against your planner, and see whether he or she is registered with your state securities department (NASAA. org) and has any history of complaints. If the planner sells insurance products, including annuities, check your state’s division of insurance. 3. At your first meeting, never commit to handing over any money. Think about it and discuss it with others. If the planner pressures you into buying right away,

that’s a warning sign. 4. When your planner recommends an investment, ask if there’s a penalty for getting your money back. If so, ask how much it is and how long the penalty period lasts. Penalties are the best indicator that your planner is getting a big commission. 5. Ask the planner to put down in writing (a) why he or she thinks an investment is suitable for you, and (b) the total cost you will be paying. Make sure it’s well under 1 percent annually. If the planner refuses for any reason, walk away. 6. Make sure you completely understand any recommended investment and how it fits in your strategy. To test your understanding, explain the investment to someone you trust. Does that person get it? 7. Reverse the roles. Ask yourself how the planner and the issuer of the product can make

money and have it still be good for you. 8. Ask the planner whether any certificates of deposit or money market accounts backed by the U.S. government are paying more than your bonds or cash are yielding. Go to DepositAcounts.com or Bankrate. com to see if the planner is correct. 9. Watch for warnings: Does the product look too good to be true? (For instance, does it promise high returns “risk-free?�) Are you asked to sign a document saying you read hundreds of pages and understood what you read? Is the planner building trust from affiliations such as belonging to the same church or synagogue? Is the planner saying you must sign in the next 24 or 48 hours? 10. Don’t put faith in references. Even the worst planners can find three people who like them.

Chemotherapy drugs “are extremely expensive, and a lot of folks don’t have the good fortune that I had of being able to afford them because I’m still on my parents’ medical insurance because of the Affordable Care Act,� Cantrell said. “My mom’s a nurse. She has really good quality, high health care, but I don’t think anyone’s life should depend on luck, and I don’t think their health should be determined by their wealth.� Cantrell supports

single-payer health care, nationally and in Minnesota, and short of that wants to expand access to MinnesotaCare by raising minimum income requirements. He volunteers in the AVID college-readiness program at Eagle Ridge Middle School and Burnsville High School. “Some kids have to work 20 hours a week outside of class to support their families at home,� Cantrell said. “I work with a lot of first-generation immigrants.

Yunus said of the display, “but it was overwhelmingly positive.� His Muslim neighbor class explains the pillars of Islam and touches on topics such as the role of family, responsibility to society, social justice and politics, according to past course descriptions. The class dialogue is open. Turnout has ranged from one to about 35, said Jennifer Gardner, an enrichment program coordinator at District 191 Community Education. “Mashood doesn’t really care if a small group shows up because he’s really interested in presenting his information, and he will answer any question

that he is asked — amazingly, without judgment,� Gardner said. “People will just put it right out there and he just sits back and provides the information as he believes it, understands it. That’s been really cool.� Yunus, who said he has invited others to help him teach since starting the class, isn’t afraid to bust myths. After the swift rise of ISIS in 2014, he said some of his attendees harbored anger, including some with children serving overseas. But as a rogue element, ISIS no more represents Islam than the Ku Klux Klan represents Christianity, Yunus said.

He developed the class in 2012 because “there was a lot of wrong information being said, and I personally suffered a couple of times from that misconception,� said Yunus, whose latest “Knowing Your Muslim Neighbor� class opened Feb. 13 and will continue Feb. 20 and 27. “I felt if we will not step out of our comfort zone, Muslims living in the BurnsvilleEagan-ISD 191 area, part of the blame is also with us for not clearing the misconceptions.� “Know Your Neighbor� on Feb. 22 is billed as a community conversation. Gardner said she, Yunus and a small group have met periodically over the past

year to discuss it. They had a table at the International Festival of Burnsville in July. Yunus likened it to a National Night Out in a community where diversity is already acknowledged but neighbors may still be a mystery to one another.

first Better Angels event at the Eagan library. “I armed myself with talking points� and prepared for a debate, Fisher said. “It was very much different. It was actually a forum that allowed Democrats and Republicans to communicate and have an open conversation about how we felt about each other without being confrontational.� She was born in Guyana, South America, the daughter of a Guyanese ambassador who traveled widely. Fisher was raised mostly by her grandparents. “I tell folks I wasn’t even allowed to date because education came first,� she said. Accompanying her father to China after high school, she learned Mandarin at the Beijing

Language and Culture University. She married an Irishman and lived in Northern Ireland for two years before he passed away. While in Ireland Fisher met her second (now-ex) husband, a Minnesotan. She has lived in Burnsville for 17 years and is raising a 13-year-old son, Michael, who acts in plays at Eagle Ridge Middle School. In 2016 she volunteered for Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders, and for 2nd District congressional candidate Angie Craig. “I’ve stood up right beside Bernie folks,� Fisher said. “I say to my activist friends, ‘We’ve got our own blue-blue divide.’ And at the end of the day, we’ve also got things that we share in common.� She supports singlepayer health care.

“I believe it’s time for us to challenge ourselves as a party to think about health care outside of the traditional ways that we have been,� Fisher said. “I understand it’s a difficult conversation for some to own,� she said. An operational risk consultant for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Fisher served on the School District 191 Finance Advisory Committee and campaigned for the successful passage of two levy questions in November. Funding public schools to ensure manageable class sizes and adequate supports for teachers, including student mental health services, is a high priority, she said.

Renita Fisher Fisher, a Guyanese immigrant, places herself in the “progressive space� of the Democratic Party that’s been animated by reaction to Donald Trump. “I think when you consider the loss of the election back in November, the rise of Trump, Trump being elected, the women’s movement, the Women’s March, the #MeToo movement, grassroots activism in the progressive space, there’s been tremendous energy in the progressive side of the Democratic Party,� Fisher said. “That cannot be ignored.� But Fisher is also a trained moderator with Better Angels, a bipartisan citizens movement to depolarize America.

Aging has a way of bridging what was previously seen as divisions between us. You see this phenomenon at class reunions all the time. At the 10th reunion, appearances, posturing, status and bling are still important. At the 20th reunion, not so much. And at the 40th reunion, cliques and class distinctions have disappeared; and you may find yourself joking and talking with people that you wouldn’t have spoken to or eaten lunch with in high school. I guess age is a friend of authenticity. As we become more accepting of ourselves, we become more accepting of others.

about whether or not our money will last as long as we do. After 60, rich men and poor men both fret about their legacy and how their grandchildren will turn out. They both worry if they’ve done enough or done the right things in life. And they end up sharing the same priorities—family, friends and meaning over bank accounts and possessions. As it turns out, old age is as close to a classless society as we ever get. In the final third of life, what you did for a living, how much money you made, where you live or what kind of car you drive doesn’t matter so much. What kind of person you are does! Maybe that’s what they mean by elder wisdom.

Sports Eagan girls will see familiar opponent in section final Hockey team wins first two playoff games by shutout by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s been five years since Eagan last played in the state girls hockey tournament, an absence the Wildcats believe has been much too long. To get there this year, the Wildcats have been working on their psyche as much as their on-ice skills. The first step in returning to the state tournament, coach Dan Wilson said, is believing they will go to state. “Right now we have a very good culture in our locker room,” Wilson said Saturday after Eagan defeated East Ridge 2-0 in the Section 3AA semifinals at Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights. “We feel we’re a team of destiny and this is our year. We talk about where we’ve been the last few years, where Eagan hasn’t been able to get there, and so we feel this is our time. Our girls are super-excited for this opportunity they have.” To get to state, Eagan will have to beat a team that’s given the Wildcats problems in recent section tournaments. Eastview, which defeated Apple Valley 1-0 in Saturday’s other semifinal, has won the section the last three years and beat Eagan in the championship game in 2015 and 2016. The teams met in the section championship game Wednesday in Inver Grove Heights, after this edition went to press. If the Wildcats continue to play as well in the defensive zone as they did in their first two section games, their chances will be good. Eagan did not allow a goal against Rosemount (a 5-0 victory) or East Ridge. East Ridge was credited with 27 shots on Saturday but had few dangerous

chances. “A lot of shots were from far out or were bad-angle shots,” Wilson said. “I give our defense a lot of credit for that and when our goalie needed to step up, Maddie Nickell had a really solid game for us. When you stop 27 pucks, no matter where they’re coming from, that’s a good game.” Jenna Ruiz scored with 39 seconds left in the first period of the East Ridge game. Taylor Anderson scored a power-play goal – her 28th of the season – early in the third. Anderson had an assist on the Ruiz goal and Bella Weaver assisted on both goals. “We’ve been getting scoring production out of a lot of different people, so even when Taylor feels like people are shadowing her, she has to lean on her teammates,” Weaver said. “She knows that. It’s not all on her.” Ruiz and Anderson had two goals each in the firstround victory over Rosemount on Feb. 7. Emily Cronkhite also scored and Julia Barger had two as-

sists. Eagan (21-5-2) won the South Suburban Conference while Eastview finished eighth. But Eastview has several players with state tournament experience. The Lightning lost 10 regular-season games by one or two goals, two of which were against Eagan. The South Suburban Conference will have at least two teams in the state tournament. The EaganEastview winner will represent Section 3AA. Farmington and Lakeville South will play for the Section 1AA title Thursday in Owatonna. Prior Lake, another SSC team, has advanced to the semifinals in Section 2AA. The Eagan-Eastview winner will play in the state Class AA quarterfinals Feb. 22 at Xcel Energy Center. First-round pairings will be determined Saturday.

PARKRUN, from 1A icy spots.� During a particularly cold day, they reversed the course to limit running against the wind. “The cold temps and snow are just part of what and who we are,� Damro said. Otherwise, runners have made it through the winter. Damro said friendships are growing. Times are improving. People have lost weight. “They’re feeling great, TEACHER, from 1A She organizes the schoolwide celebration complete with guest speakers along with choir and band performances. It kicks off with a social hour with coffee and doughnuts for veterans and their families. It’s important to her to bridge the generations. “It’s important to have a conversation with those

looking great, coming back each week,� Damro said. They’ve built a core team and added a few more run directors, which is key to its continued success. “We really don’t measure our success based on attendance, rather the sustainability of the event and it’s continuing to get people out and active,� Damro said. The Eagan parkrun averages about 42 runners

per week. Their largest attendance was in July with 79 runners, but Damro expects to have more than 100 once it warms up. The event has drawn in many international visitors as well, according to Damro, from places such as New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and the United Kingdom. The Eagan parkrun is the ninth if its kind in the USA, the first in the Twin Cities. It’s more prevalent out-

side the United States. “(People come to) town for business or visiting the Twin Cities, they look to see if there’s a parkrun nearby and they’re thrilled to see one in Eagan since it’s very accessible to nearly everyone in the metro area,� Damro said. Organizers post run reports and share photos every week on social media. “One key item for parkrun to be successful is that, it doesn’t change much, it’s predictable, it’s always

there, every week, same time, same place, always free,� Damro said. “When a visitor comes to Eagan from another part of the country or the world, they know what to expect, because it is largely the same idea and spirit that is seen around the world at more than 1,300 different events each week.� For more information, visit www.parkrun.us/eagan/. Participants need to register in order to receive a time and they’re always

welcoming volunteers. “There is plenty of room for more parkrunners at Thomas Lake Park,� Damro said. “And get more walkers. We love walkers. And we’d like to get more people to try it out. Don’t worry. It’s not a race, it’s a run. You can walk the entire way and you’ll get just as many cheers from our volunteers.�

who represent us in the armed forces and know those who served and what they and their families have been through,� Adams said. Adams was inspired to create the event because her family has been so involved with the military. Her father is a Marine Corps veteran and her husband, Jamie Carlson, was deployed during Op-

eration Iraqi Freedom with 34th Red Bull Infantry Division National Guard. “They were part of the guard that got extended in 2007,� Adams said. “(The Veterans Day ceremony) was a great way for me to help.� The program gave Adams something to pour her energy into. “There was all kinds

of challenges with a new, young married couple,� Adams said. “I had a group of other women whose husbands were also deployed. We supported each other through this thing. There were a number of times things got a little dicey over there.� Her co-workers helped her through some tough times, she said. “That’s just what they

do here in Eagan,� Adams said. “It was humbling. They were essential to my success.� Honoring veterans is in her blood. She’s originally from Rochester where she and her dad helped organize the Southeast Minnesota Honor Flights for World War II veterans to travel to Washington, D.C., to visit their respective war memorial. She said he was part of 10 different flights. As a history teacher at Eagan High School, she often invites guest speakers such as veterans to help give her students a firsthand account of what she’s teaching and to connect generations. She said she’s passionate about making sure the students are “active participants in a complicated democracy.� “The most important part of history is the inspiring

stories, and there are so many who walk among us that have stories to share,� she continued. “It’s really valuable for students to know how we got to this point and to know who is in their community. Being patriotic is more than just waving a flag.� Adams has been teaching at Eagan High School for almost 20 years. She currently teaches U.S. and world history. Adams will find out next month about the national level. Nationwide VFW Teachers of the Year winners receive a $1,000 award of professional development, another $1,000 for their school, a pair of plaques, and an all-expenses-paid trip to the conference.

Timing of the project is critical for the safety of the general public and to minimize disruption. In addition, the City has limited financial resources to commit to the project. Accordingly, the project must be accomplished with a minimum of interruption, on time, and without cost overruns. The City believes that only a contractor with good experience in constructing this kind of project is necessary. 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. A Technical Proposal must be submitted by each prospective bidder so the Contractor’s performance can be evaluated prior to the submission of a bid. Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting: A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. C.S.T., Monday, March 5, 2018, at the Eagan Municipal Center at 3830 Pilot Knob Road, in the Conference Room 1A & B (1st 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. Technical Proposal Deadline: Prospective Bidders’ technical proposals must be received by 10:30 a.m. C.S.T., Monday, March 12, 2018, at the Engineering Division (1st Floor), Eagan Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob Road. Each bid proposal shall be accompanied by a bidder’s bond naming the City of Eagan as obligee, a certified check payable to the Clerk of the City of Eagan or a cash deposit equal to at least five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid, which shall be forfeited to the City in the event that the bidder fails to enter into a contract. The City Council reserves the right to retain the deposits of the three lowest bidders for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of the bids. No bids may be withdrawn for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of bids. Payment for the work will be by cash or check. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids and technical proposals, to waive irregularities and informalities therein and further reserves the right to award the contract to the best interests of the City.

Timing of the project is critical for the safety of the general public and to minimize disruption. In addition, the City has limited financial resources to commit to the project. Accordingly, the project must be accomplished with a minimum of interruption, on time, and without cost overruns. The City believes that only a contractor with good experience in constructing this kind of project is necessary. 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. A Technical Proposal must be submitted by each prospective bidder so the Contractor’s performance can be evaluated prior to the submission of a bid. Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting: A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference will be held at 10:30 a.m., C.D.S.T. at the Eagan Municipal Center at 3830 Pilot Knob Road on Monday, March 5, 2018 in the 1st Floor Conference Room. 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. Technical Proposal Deadline: Prospective Bidders’ technical proposals must be received by 10:30 a.m. C.D.S.T., Monday, March 12, 2018, at the Engineering Division (1st Floor), Eagan Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob Road. Each bid proposal shall be accompanied by a bidder’s bond naming the City of Eagan as obligee, a certified check payable to the Clerk of the City of Eagan or a cash deposit equal to at least five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid, which shall be forfeited to the City in the event that the bidder fails to enter into a contract. The City Council reserves the right to retain the deposits of the three lowest bidders for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of the bids. No bids may be withdrawn for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of bids. Payment for the work will be by cash or check. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids and technical proposals, to waive irregularities and informalities therein and further reserves the right to award the contract to the best interests of the City.

PROJECTS, from 1A the 140-unit senior housing project on the west side in partnership with Presbyterian Homes while awaiting future development proposals for the rest. The townhomes would be built on the southern portion of the remaining property, south of 136th Street West and west of County Road 5. The Kwik Trip would be at the southwest corner of 136th and 5. A Jan. 3 neighborhood meeting on the project drew about 75 people and aired concerns mostly about screening between the Kwik Trip and the new townhomes, community play space for children and the safety of crossing Burnsville Parkway to Neill Park, according to a

city staff report. Some Valley Ridge residents said they’d be glad to see the vacant lot developed and hope family members might buy townhomes there. But a core of opposition remains, focused largely against connecting the senior living facility’s private driveway to 136th Street and making it part of the overall circulation for the entire site. Seniors will be endangered by the traffic, especially those who use chairs or walkers or are legally blind, said Stephen Brohez, a Valley Ridge maintenance worker who said he’s on a waiting list to live there. Another concern is the lack of a playground at the planned townhome develoment, said Valley Ridge resident Jean Gin-

dorff. The first-floor resident said he worries about safety and kids looking in the windows. However, as a condition of approval, city staff included a required recreation area on the townhome property or on a remaining CDA outlot. Recreational facilities at Neill Park are (via a controlled intersection crossing) more than a half mile away, and city code requires on-site recreational facilities such as pools, courts and play equipment when public facilities are more than a half mile away or across a thoroughfare, according to the staff report. Another condition for the townhome builder, Lennar, is that it increase the size of its garages to meet city code. Burnsville requires two enclosed ga-

rage spaces of at least 220 square feet each, for a total of 440. Lennar’s proposed two-car garages range from 370 to 389 square feet. The proposed denial of the company’s requested deviation causes “some real heartache” that could jeopardize the project, Lennar representative Joe Jablonski said. Two cars easily fit in the garages, which the company has built all over the Twin Cities, he said. Because plowing and lawn care are done for the residents, they don’t have to store blowers and mowers, Jablonski said. “It wasn’t the outcome we were looking for,” he said after the meeting, adding that the company will take its case to the council. LeeAnn Lane, 13528

Knox Drive, who lives kitty-corner from the proposed Kwik Trip, said fears of cut-through traffic from the store are justified based on the experience in her own neighborhood, which was given speed humps. Her husband, Ed, voiced concerns about noise from the car wash at the 24-hour station, saying his house is two lots away. “It’s going to disturb what really has been a reasonable residential community,” LeeAnn said. The commission added a condition to the Kwik Trip approval that its driveway access points be “staggered” to eliminate cut-through traffic.

Tropical Beach Party at zoo

To submit items for the Family Calendar, email: darcy.odden@ecm-inc. com.

The Minnesota Zoo’s Tropical Beach Party, sponsored by MetroPCS, begins Presidents Day weekend and extends through March 11. The event aims to help save wild sea turtles. This year, the party includes two giant sandboxes for children to play. They should bring their own pail or favorite sand toy. Additional weekend activities include: Sea Turtle Pledge Activity, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Incredible Creatures, 11 a.m.; Sea Turtle Story Time, 10 a.m. Along with fun familyfriendly activities, the zoo will also be highlighting wild sea turtles and the dangers they face in the wild. The zoo will focus on single-use plastics and plastic bags and how they can harm wildlife, even when used in Minnesota. A limited number of reusable shopping bags will be given away to guests, while supplies last. Guests will also have the option to participate in a pledge to reduce their use of singleuse plastics. The zoo is at 13000 Zoo Blvd., Apple Valley. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org.
