Lindsey Port was on the sidelines of Tuesday night’s DFL Party caucus at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Savage. Instead of addressing Senate District 56 activists as a candidate, Port held up her phone to record others as they spoke. Two years ago she was a promising first-time can-

Benson, a former battalion chief, filed a civil lawsuit against Eagan and Scott in April 2017 alleging he was discriminated

against on the basis of his sexual orientation. In advance of interview sessions when the number of battalion chiefs was reduced to three in November 2016, Benson claimed he was outed against his will during a leadership meeting when he disclosed he was married to a man and then the demotion from battalion chief to firefighter caused him to suffer embarrassment and emotional anguish. He asked for $50,000 and punitive damages. According to the city, it filed for dismissal in November 2017.

Dakota Hills art teacher offers perspective Kurtz teaches life lessons through painting by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The sign on a wall at Dakota Hills Middle School reads: “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.� The quote, attributed to Pablo Picasso, is almost lost among the several dozen pieces of student artwork that surround it, but the message is clear: someone has taught the soon-to-be adults who created these paintings how to remain artists. That person is Tim Kurtz, the only art teacher at Dakota Hills. He has dedicated his life to keeping the artist alive in his students, and keeping the school alive with art. Kurtz curates nearly every hallway of the school with his students’ work. Portraits, masks, painted lanterns and large, collaborative art pieces bring color and life to common spaces. On the grayest of winter days, the halls remain bright and cheery. Even the stairwells serve as art exhibits. Recently, Kurtz’s students painted and displayed 168 Picasso-inspired portraits. Through smaller art projects his students learned about color, shape and line. After teaching them about Picasso and Cubism, one of his signature styles, Kurtz asked his students to paint their own Cubist portraits. “We started with these

life,� eighth-grade student Chris Jones said. “It’s a more positive way of looking at things.� Through art Kurtz has also taught his students to be more accepting. “He taught me how to be less critical of myself. I learned I don’t have to be perfect,� eighth-grade student Weris Jama said. “Art doesn’t have one answer. He’s helped me see that there are a lot of different perspectives.� Jones learned a similar lesson. “He taught us that nobody is perfect, and that you can look at anything

and see different types of perfect,� Jones said. Perhaps it is for that reason that so many students choose to take art classes with Kurtz, even when they are electives. “It’s welcoming, this place,� said seventh-grade student Sarah Finwall. “It’s a place to go when you want to feel better.� Kurtz’s classroom environment extends far beyond his classroom.

create. “Sometimes people will ask me why their piece isn’t on the wall, and I’ll say: ‘You are captain of the swim team,’ or ‘You’re first chair in the orchestra,’ � Kurtz said. “Everyone is good at something, and I try to create a space for kids who might not always have one somewhere else.� Kurtz has not only created a unique culture for what pieces he displays, he’s also changed the culture of walking down the hallway. “The Wall of Fame is not just a thing to look at,� Finwall said. “People notice things.� Jama and Jones agreed. “People don’t just walk past that hallway,� Jama said. “They stop and look at it.� “We think about what went into it — what materials, and how much time,� Jones said. Kurtz has taught his students to have a greater appreciation for art, and for their peers who create it. “Everyone has something different to offer,� Finwall said. “We can be inspired by each other’s work, and we know that’s not copying. It’s like we are complimenting them.� Jones is considering a career in architecture or graphic design. Jama and Finwall both aspire to become doctors, but they have gotten involved in their school’s theater program and have taken on leadership roles in areas related to tech and design.

Though they may not pursue formal careers in art, all three said Kurtz’s classes have inspired them to find ways to incorporate art into whatever career they choose. It’s not only the students who have been profoundly impacted by Kurtz — his work daily impacts his peers as well. “Tim’s art displays fill my soul,� District 196 peer leader Marge Dunn said. For Kurtz, it’s all in a day’s work. He’s dedicated over three decades of his life to teaching. “Tim has taught for over 30 years and continues to pour himself into the art and lives of his students,� said Cathy Kisch, a seventh-grade math teacher at Dakota Hills. “This is a teacher who inspires generations of middle school children, as well as other teachers.� “He’s the best teacher in America, hands down,� said Dakota Hills Assistant Principal Jim Roberts. “He gets kids to really love art. He creates 30 artists with every class.� Although Kurtz won’t always be their teacher, the lessons he teaches his students continue to inspire them to stay artists as they transition into their young adult lives. Even if they don’t pick up a paintbrush every day, they’ll use the lessons Kurtz taught them about seeing different perspectives. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. com.

Marijuana bust leads to felony charges An Eagan man was found with more than 250 pounds of marijuana in various forms last week, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Brian David Hiltner, 28, was charged with a felony first-degree controlled substance crime (sale or 25 or more kilograms) following a search in Lakeville on Jan. 31. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail and a $1 million fine. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and Lakeville Police Department executed a search warrant in Lakeville where they found more than 200 pounds of plastic vacuum sealed bags of marijuana, several hundred containers of wax marijuana, 50 pounds of marijuana gummies and $26,000 in cash. Prior to executing the search warrant, an officer observed a vehicle driven by Hiltner leave the property. When he was stopped, the officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Following a search, officers found nine vacuum-sealed plastic bags believed to be filled with about a pound of marijuana each with 14 gallon-sized

Opinion Amend state constitution to address succession issue When U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was pressured to resign by Senate Democrats in early January, a series of consequences unfolded that revealed a weakness in the Minnesota Constitution that needs to be addressed. To replace Franken, Gov. Mark Dayton chose his 2014 running mate, Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. That created a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor. The state constitution says plainly that the “last elected presiding officer of the state Senate shall become lieutenant governor.” However, the issue at hand is what to do if the Senate president does not want to become lieutenant governor? State Sen. Michelle Fischbach, R-Paynesville, is the Senate president. The Republicans hold a 34-32 advantage in the state Senate. One seat is vacant, caused by the December resignation of state Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-South St. Paul, after he was accused by DFLers of sexual harassment. Should the DFL retain Schoen’s seat, it would restore the Republicans’ precarious one-vote majority in the Senate. If Fischbach is then forced to become lieutenant governor, a special election would be held, giving the DFL a chance to take control of the Senate. Fischbach does not want to give up the Senate seat to which she was elected. In fact, she has not taken the oath of office to be lieutenant governor, nor has she accepted any pay for the position. How-

ECM Editorial ever, the state constitution also says that no legislator shall hold another public office except for postmaster and notary public. That would seem to make it clear that one cannot be lieutenant governor and a state senator simultaneously. Is she the lieutenant governor if she has not taken the oath of office or accepted pay for the position? A constituent of Fischbach’s has filed suit claiming that she is no longer a state senator. The courts will decide the question. The lack of desirability in becoming lieutenant governor is because the position was stripped of its most important regular duty – that of being the Senate’s presiding officer. That occurred in 1972 when voters approved a constitutional amendment by which the governor and lieutenant governor would run as a team. Then, in 1974, voters approved a general re-writing of the Minnesota Constitution to conform to modern language. Today, the lieutenant governor calls the Senate to order on its convening day, and then steps down after the presiding officer is elected. The lieutenant governor is a member of the State Executive Council, the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board, the State Capitol Preservation Board and chairs the advisory committee on Capitol Area Secu-

rity. In short, the lieutenant governor has very little political influence. His or her primary duty is to wait around and pray the governor doesn’t die. In the state’s 160-year history, the position of lieutenant governor has been vacant 12 times. Eight times the position was vacant because the lieutenant governor became governor. Four times, including this year, the lieutenant governor resigned to take another job. Sometimes the new lieutenant governor continued to vote as a senator. (The longest time a person did double duty as a lieutenant governor and Senate president was when Frank Day held both positions from Jan. 31, 1895, to Jan. 5, 1897.) Several times the Senate did not meet after the new lieutenant governor was sworn in. A few times the Senate president delayed taking the oath as lieutenant governor. The longest time that the office of lieutenant governor remained vacant was from May 1, 1953, to Oct. 28, 1954. (Lt. Gov. Ancher Nelsen resigned and Senate President Donald Wright did not take the oath until almost 18 months later.) Republicans argue that legal precedent was set by Day and others who held both offices. Democrats argue that the rewritten state constitution prohibits holding both offices simultaneously. The Legislature has enacted a statute addressing the issue of succession should both the offices of governor and lieutenant governor become vacant simultane-

ously. Should catastrophe strike the top of state government, the order of succession to be governor are first the president of the Senate, then the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, next the secretary of state, then the state auditor and finally the attorney general. All of those positions have more important responsibilities than those assigned to the lieutenant governor. For the short term, we hope the state courts act swiftly to decide this current situation. However, a long term solution is needed. We think a constitutional change is in order. That would require the approval of the voters in the next election. Possible directions that proposal could take would be to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor altogether while retaining a succession plan (and perhaps giving preference in the succession plan to someone from the governor’s own party) or to combine the job with one of the others listed in the order of succession law. What doesn’t make sense is forcing someone to take the position who doesn’t want it or paying the lieutenant governor a salary of $82,959 for a job with minimal daily responsibilities.

Reach out to a veteran on this somber anniversary by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Last week, all eyes were on Super Bowl LII. Extensive investments of time, energy and millions of dollars led up to the big game. Lost in all of the hype was a significant 50th anniversary, one that still brings pain and sorrow to many of our fellow Minnesotans. In late January and early February 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched an aggressive assault on South Vietnam targets. It was called the Tet Offensive because it was timed for the Vietnamese new year holiday, or Tet. American forces and their allies suffered huge loss of life in the weeks that followed. Despite being a young teenager in rural Minnesota, for me the war hit home every night when we watched Walter Cronkite. Each evening’s news opened with the latest in the war effort, along with the estimated number of Americans killed. Death tolls exceeded 500 soldiers a week in those days from Jan. 31, 1968, into February. Heavy fighting continued all year – some 16,899 American soldiers died in 1968.

Peggy Bakken during Tet, including my best friend’s brother, David. We were stunned as we went through the motions of the funeral and the military salute at the cemetery for our friend and neighbor. Everyone joined together to support the family. I reconnected with this lifelong friend this past summer. We did our best to catch up on a few decades of life. We laughed, shared photos and talked nonstop. It was inevitable that the conversation turned to David, his memory and his impact on her family’s life. We were keenly aware the 50th anniversary of his death was coming in a few months. “Have you been to the wall?” I asked. Not yet, she said, although she has seen the replica Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall that has stopped in several locations in Minnesota. I’ve been to the wall in D.C. several times, and each time I look up David’s name. The emotional impact of seeing more than 58,000 names carved into stone, all real people, each someone’s child, is overwhelming. Of those names, 1,077 were Minneso-

tans and one was my neighbor David. Fifty years later, the repercussions of the Vietnam War on thousands of veterans and their families continue. For some, like my friend whose brother gave the ultimate sacrifice, the wounds are still raw five decades later. For others, the wounds are harder to define. Post-traumatic stress disorder was not recognized as a real thing when the soldiers returned home. The anti-war sentiment was extensive and the veterans were not treated with respect. Others developed serious health issues over time. I’d still like to know if there was a connection between Agent Orange and the number of soldiers who developed leukemia or other cancer later in life. Today, 50 years after the costliest battles of the Vietnam War, would be a good time to reach out to Vietnam vets. But don’t just say thank you. Jake Wood, writing last Veterans Day for military.com, said: “America should move beyond trite words of thanks and into a deeper conversation about what it means to be a veteran in today’s world — or yesterday’s for that matter. With less than 1 percent of the nation having served in the military since 9/11, the divide between civilians and the military is perhaps at its widest ever.” Wood, the founder of the national veterans support nonprofit Team Ru-

bicon, encourages us to ask veterans about their experiences in the military. Yes, we know that some veterans find it difficult to answer the question, but many are eager to share their stories. I can think of a couple of other questions we can ask. We can ask a veteran to help us identify the best organizations that we can support with our donations. There seems to be many charities that claim to benefit veterans – which ones are legit? And with 2018 being an election year, we can ask veterans to help us understand which issues are most important at the state and federal level. It seems every politician says he or she supports our veterans, but how? Is there specific legislation that needs public support? Are there key funding issues we should address? What questions should we be asking when candidates knock on our doors, looking for our vote? The Super Bowl is already starting to fade in our memory. Our veterans are here with us every day. Reach out to them, not merely to say thanks but to ask questions, to seek to understand. And last, we can ask, “How can I help?” Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers. Reactions welcome: peggy.bakken@ecminc.com.

Letters Will the DFL choose Erdmann or Craig? To the editor: Is it just me or does it seem like the Minnesota DFL has already “chosen” Angie Craig to be its nominee for U.S. House of Representatives this fall? As an independent voter, I find myself drawn to Jeff Erdmann – a caring, successful high school civics teacher and football coach. Erdmann has railed against big money in politics and what he says, is, in fact, playing out in the DFL selection process. Democratic establishment types like U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer only want a candidate who has big money connections and

Craig is a multimillionaire. It’s enough to make the everyday voter jump ship. I might just do that, if Erdmann decides to run as an Independent in the 2nd District U.S. House race this fall. Erdmann is outspoken against the party machine and I for one commend him for that. TOM NEWFIELD Eagan

Get involved To the editor: The last two years have been interesting. We’ve seen government dismantle important laws and policies, nationally and statewide. The president has entered into dangerous territory by picking fights with allies, and embracing known anti-democratic leaders. Environmental protections and partnerships are gone, ignored as if it means nothing that Americans deserve clean air and water. Elections have been compromised, and Republican leadership does nothing. Families are being torn apart in a country founded on immigrants and freedoms. There’s no plan to provide healthcare to every citizen, but Senate and House members have

wonderful free healthcare, paid for by our taxes. We have a family of billionaires (with no understanding of government) in the White House that care only for protecting their billions. The president is dangerously allowed to disrupt the good reputation and spirit of America by spewing lies, calling people names, displays of his racism and sexism, and his idea to make America great which is to make it white and in favor of the rich. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is our congressman who 100 percent is complicit in this unbecoming behavior. In Minnesota, our Legislature follows the same path of disregarding the middle and lower classes. Public schools remain under-funded by the Legislature, leaving school districts

to devise plans to pay for a good education system for all children. We pay taxes to the state to provide this, and we pay again to school districts when there’s a school bond. Our environment is the most important issue, yet we can’t get public transit systems that reduce emissions, as well as efficiently move people and products. The Republican-led Legislature are to blame for all of it, because they vote against us almost every time. If you think politics don’t matter, then expect more of the same this year. If you think it’s time to make a change, get involved. SANDRA SANDOVAL Burnsville

retail capacity. • Produce: an additional 120 square feet. • Meat and seafood: larger service cases and an additional 12 feet of shelf space for an expanded meat selection. • Wellness: an additional 50 feet of shelving units. The remodeled store will also feature a new expanded seating area. The current classroom will be remodeled to give the space a more communal atmosphere.

Working for Lakeville and his family New State Farm office opens by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A new branch of State Farm opened in Lakeville last Thursday. Pete Peterson is a Lakeville resident and is focused on growing his new business by helping his customers feel at ease with their insurance. Before Peterson decided to join the insurance game, he worked as the manager of Dodge in Burnsville. He was involved within the community and became known for his relationship with the country radio station Buzzin with Paul Koffy. The business opened Feb. 1, and Peterson says he is working to make sure his customers feel as if they are always being taken care of. Peterson has taken his 15 years of sales experience to open his own State Farm branch. “The main thing I’d like to get out of my business is more freedom and flexibility,â€? Peterson said. His goal is to not only grow his business but create enjoyable memories for him, his wife and three daughters. “For me, it’s about hanging out with my kids,â€? Peterson said. “I grew up with a dad who worked a lot. ‌ I told myself I would never do that to my kids and in the car business I felt like I was going down that road. That’s why I wanted something with more freedom.â€? Peterson hopes to travel more with his family as his new business grows. He specializes in mortgages and focuses on commercial insurance for other business owners. He says he stands out by bringing in his customer service abilities in order to be there for those long term. Peterson plans to be running his office until he retires. “When starting a new business the first year can be rough. I know that it will be better for my family in the long run,â€? he said.

Burnsville junior elected as Youth in Government presiding officer by Justin Amaker SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville High School junior Alyse Dees has always had an interest in government and how it works, so joining Youth in Government, or YIG, was an easy decision for her. That interest turned into leadership at the Minnesota YIG Model Assembly in Minneapolis in January, where she was elected to be presiding officer of the National Issues Forum at next year’s model assembly. It’s one of just 16 major student roles for the entire state. Youth in Government is a nationwide program by the YMCA. The Minnesota branch of YIG has 1,600 students in grades eight to 12 throughout the state gathering at the state capital in St. Paul and at the Hilton in Minneapolis. There, they can see how the state government works in a realistic and complex simulation by arguing court cases, debating state and national issues and learning how to agree or disagree respectfully. This year’s Burnsville contingent included 85 members, one of the largest delegations. “I feel fantastic about being elected to this position,� Dees said. “I love the National Issues Forum, so being

Actress brings lessons from her yoga mat to the stage Core Power yoga instructor to play Suzanne in ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’ by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Inside a studio at CorePower Yoga in Apple Valley, Emily Rose Duea teaches members of the community to breathe more deeply, stretch a little further and become a lot stronger. But Duea has another side. She’s also a professional actress, and currently she’s performing in the Chameleon Theater Circle’s production of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile.� The play imagines a meeting between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein at a bar. Both are on the verge of a great discovery, and both have a great deal to learn from the other. Written by Steve Martin and directed by Daniel K. McDermott, the play is a “hilarious, if improbable, meeting of the minds.� “It’s really a discussion between Picasso and Einstein about what does it mean to be a creator and have big ideas in an even bigger world,� Duea said. She will play the role of Picasso’s lover, Suzanne. “She’s your typical French young woman,� Duea said. “She really commands the room. She’s confident. She’s an amalgamation of all his muses.� This character has stretched her to reflect on not only her role in the show, but the role she plays in a greater societal context. “Suzanne as a muse is a really interesting thing to look at, especially as women are perceived in art and in the sciences,� she said. “She plays the role of sexuality in the show — how women can take control of what they need and want.� This is Duea’s second production with the Chameleon Theatre Circle. She was in “Betty’s Summer Vacation� in 2015, when the company performed in Burnsville. “It’s a totally new group, which is really exciting,� said the Burnsville High School alum. “There are lots of different backgrounds, and ages and genders.� Off the stage, Duea said the cast has become quite close. Inside jokes, about each other and the script, keep conversations lively. As the cast has gotten to

know each other better, Duea has been able to bring harmony to her two passions. “I’m pretty much known as the yoga teacher/actor,� she said. “I lead breathing exercising and stretching all the time.� Duea has fully embraced this dual identity. “I consider myself to be equally both,� she said. “They both take the same amount of time and they both are equal passions.� While her fellow actors participate in her yoga lessons behind the scenes, Duea’s yoga students are some of her biggest fans when she takes the stage. “I love my Apple Valley yogis, and I know they are excited to see the show,� Duea said. For herself, Duea has seen yoga help her become a better actress. “A lot of the skills and exercises and mindfulness that we use in yoga directly translate into storytelling,� said. “And it helps me not let what’s happening on stage affect me personally.� Last year, she played a character who struggled with addiction and other mental health issues. “I found myself, as an outsider, looking at that character with deep empathy and compassion,� she said. “But because it is a story there is nothing you can do to help or heal the character. You take them along on this journey.� Just as she’s learned to leave her worries and stress on the mat in yoga, she was able to leave her anxiety and pains on the stage after each performance. “Applause is the number one palate cleanser,� she said. “It can make everything that you’ve done totally worth it.� Duea studied theater and psychology at the University of Minnesota, and today selfcare, through storytelling and through yoga, are important aspects of Duea’s life. “What’s most important to me is that the stories we tell ourselves are as nurturing, and caring and healing as possible,� she said. “Even if the stories we portray in theater can be tough, it’s important we shed light on them.�

That’s exactly what she hopes “Picasso at the Lapin Agile� will do for audiences. “I think the show itself is a beacon of light and sun, and you will laugh your head off,� Duea said. “It’s something we need in winter.� “Picasso at the Lapin Agile� runs from Feb. 9 through Feb. 29 at the Gremlin Theater, located at 550 Vandalia Street, St. Paul.

Peterson gives heart-to-heart about women in jazz Patty Peterson and Jazz Women All-Stars to perform at Valleywood by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The next time you are listening to a piece of jazz music, close your eyes and imagine the people playing the instruments. “If it is good jazz, you probably imagine a man,� jazz musician Patty Peterson said. Peterson knows, however, that female musicians can play just as well. That’s why she’s recruited some of the Twin Cities’ best female jazz musicians to help her redefine the genre. “My goal is to show off all of the wonderful women musicians we have in the jazz category,� said the former Jazz 88 FM host. A successful solo artist herself, Peterson put together the Jazz Women All-Stars in 2016 to be featured at that summer’s Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Her group flipped the script — rather than an all-male cast with an occasional female singer or horn player, Peterson created an all-female group. Since the original performance, Peterson performs with the All-Stars three or four times a year. The members of the band are always changing because she wants to provide opportunities for the many talented people she knows to be a part of it. “I could do a concert and have probably 20 people on stage — that’s how many people I know that I want to include,� she said. “So I rotate it.� Peterson is a familiar face in Apple Valley — she’s been performing at winter and summer concerts in the city for several years. “What a wonderful community — Apple Valley,� she said. “They believe in the arts.� She’ll perform again, this weekend, as part of the Apple Valley Arts

Foundation’s free Frozen Apple concert series. This year, however, she’s bringing her fresh, new show with her. “Patty Peterson Presents Jazz Women AllStars� will perform at Valleywood Golf Course on Feb. 10 from 6-9 p.m. The Jazz Women AllStars will feature Ginger Commodore’s vocals and the musical stylings of Mary Louise Knutson on piano, Joan Griffith on bass, Sheila Earley on drums and Kathy Jensen on sax. “These people all have wonderful reputations,� Peterson said. “Their names alone would be a draw.� She praised the group for their professionalism, and said they have a lot of fun together onstage as well. “Ginger does wonderful Ella Fitzgerald work. Mary is known for her original compositions, from her album ‘In the Bubble,’ � Peterson said. “Kathy Jensen is one of the finest saxophonists that you are ever going to hear. She shared the stage with Prince many, many

terson’s perspective on life changed forever. “I was driving in my car and I felt a burst in my chest,� she said. Doctors repaired the aortic dissection in emergency surgery, but she continues to live with aortic disease. Today, Peterson has watched four sons graduate and get married, and she’s become the grandmother of six. She is involved with the American Heart Association’s “Go Red� campaign, and she also gives presentations about getting the most out of life. She calls it “Live Your Gift.� “My doctors and my family watch me like a hawk, and I live my life to the fullest,� Peterson said. “I go to groups and churches talk about one of the reasons we are all here — to live our gifts.� Peterson is looking forward to this concert, three days before Valentine’s Day and one day before the anniversary of her own heart event. “I want people to come out and help celebrate with me 11 years later,�

Burnsville boys advance to state Nordic meet Eastview girls lose tiebreaker, still earn trip to Giants Ridge by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A few years ago, Eastview’s second-place finish at the Section 1 Nordic skiing meet would have been as heartbreaking as it gets. The Lightning and Winona/Winona Cotter scored the same number of points at Tuesday’s section meet, but Winona won the tiebreaker based on combined time of each team’s top four skiers. The second-place finish still sends Eastview to next week’s state meet at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Until the 2014-15 season, only section champions advanced to state, but a format change now allows the top two finishers from each section to ski at state. Thus, the Lightning avoided a harsh fate. Burnsville’s boys also advance to state as a section runner-up after finishing six points behind Prior Lake at the Section

Thomas Ryan’s third place in the boys pursuit race helped Burnsville qualify as a team for next week’s state Nordic skiing meet. 1 meet at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. The Blaze was third in last year’s section meet. Winona sophomore Anni Skillkorn won the girls pursuit race in 31 minutes, 48 seconds, which also proved key to her team winning the tiebreaker as she finished more

than two minutes ahead of Eastview’s fastest skier. The Lightning was led by senior Kareena Clendening, who was 10th overall in 34:21. Kira Gunawan was 13th in 34:59. Josie Roberts (15th, 35:40), Anna Schumann (16th, 36:02), Claire Nack (17th, 36:04) and Gabby

Kraemer (19th, 36:33) also finished in the top 20 for Eastview. Annika Challgren placed 33rd. It will be the fifth consecutive trip to the state meet for Eastview, which finished 12th last year. The top six individuals not on one of the qualifying teams also advance to the state meet, which on the Section 1 girls side meant the second- through seventh-place finishers will move on. That group includes Lakeville South teammates Brianne Brewster and Violet Tessier, who finished second and third. Brewster had the second-fastest time on the classic and freestyle stages and had an overall time of 32:33. Tessier’s time was 32:50. Rosemount senior Tess Grunklee also will ski at state after finishing sixth in the section in 33:28. In the regular season, Lakeville North and Lakeville South compete as one girls team, and Apple Valley, Eagan and Rosemount also combine. Minnesota State High School League rules require those team to split up for section competi-

skied for the Blaze. Eagan’s seven-year streak of sending a team to state ended, but the Wildcats have two individual qualifiers – senior Jack Martin, fifth in 28:38, and sophomore Brian Dilla, 11th in 29:38. Gus Schatzlein of Prior Lake won the boys pursuit race in 26:45, with Eastview senior Bryant Ruff second in 27:42. Eagan was third, Eastview fifth, Lakeville North eighth, Lakeville South ninth and Rosemount 10th in the boys team standings. Apple Valley did not have a section entrant. Sophomore George Grunklee was 22nd overall to lead Rosemount. Wyatt Hall was Lakeville South’s top skier in 34th, and Joe Quaal placed 35th to lead Lakeville North. The state meet is Thursday, Feb. 15, with girls freestyle at 10 a.m., boys freestyle at 11:15, girls classic at 2 and boys classic at 3. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagan skier is Section 6 medalist

Three Wildcats will compete at state Alpine meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North and Lakeville South will send teams to next week’s state Alpine skiing meet, and Eagan ninth-grader Camden Palmquist also will advance after winning the boys individual championship at the Section 6 meet. The races for team championships were close at Tuesday’s section meet at Buck Hill. The South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville North girls were one point ahead of Mankato West, although both teams will go to state. West earned its state spot by 12 points over Eden Prairie, the third-place team in Section 6. Edina held off Lakeville South by three points for the section boys team championship. The Cougars, who won the South Suburban Conference championship last week, were 31 points ahead of third-place Mankato West. North’s Kathryn Kossack and Peyton Servais finished third and fourth individually to help lead the Panther girls back to state, where they were runners-up last year. At the section meet, Kossack completed two trips down the Buck Hill slalom course in 48.27 seconds, while Servais finished in 48.90. Becca Divine of Eden Prairie won the individual championship in 47.60. Jane Steel (23rd, 52.99) and Isabelle Urban (25th, 53.18) also counted toward North’s team total of 409 points. Tera Cunningham placed 44th and Abi Hahs was 46th. Lakeville South was fourth in the girls team competition with 394 points, 14 away from a state qualifying spot. Two Cougars qualified individually for state – Lauren Nida (fifth, 49.07) and Hannah Rost (13th, 50.29). The top 10 individuals not on a qualifying team also advance to the state meet. Other Section 6 girls skiers that advanced to state individually include Kate Young of Eastview, who was 10th in 49.91, and Sophia Palmquist of Eagan, 11th in 49.99.

tion. Lakeville South and Lakeville North were fifth and 10th in the girls standings. Rosemount and Eagan were seventh and eighth. Apple Valley did not have a skier in the section girls race. Burnsville finished ninth without its top skier, senior Kelly Koch. Koch, who was fifth in last year’s state meet, likely would have been the favorite to win Section 1, but she has been competing and training overseas with the U.S. Under-18 team and did not ski in enough regularseason high school meets to qualify for sections. Hanna Holmstrom was the Blaze’s top skier in the Section 1 meet in 11th place. Theresa Passe was 14th for Eagan and Grete Engels led Lakeville North in 20th place. Senior Thomas Ryan led the Burnsville boys by taking third in the pursuit race in 28:14. Andrew Qualley (29:29) and Matthew Berg (29:23) were ninth and 10th. Alex Gude placed 14th in 30:00. Dawson Quimby (28th), Michael Kraimer (30th) and Darren Wong (41st) also

Hannah Schultz was 45th individually for Apple Valley, which placed 15th. Edina placed two individuals in the top seven in the Section 6 boys race, which allowed the Hornets to squeak past Lakeville South for the team championship. The four skiers that counted toward South’s team total of 440 points all finished 17th or higher. Ninth-grader Kyle

Wentworth (47.08) and senior Brandon Wentworth (47.47) finished ninth and 10th for Lakeville South. Oliver Grasdal was 16th in 49.20 and Joe Olson took 17th in 49.25.

He was second in 50 freestyle and third in the 100 butterfly at the 2017 state Class AA meet. In other records-related news, Apple Valley boys basketball guard Tre Jones passed the 2,000-point mark for his career in the Eagles’ 9065 victory over Burnsville on Monday. Jones had 20 points in the game.

Stopped at the doorstep

Eagan goalie Maddie Nickell turns away a shot by Farmington’s Jenna Gerold during a South Suburban Conference girls hockey game Feb. 1 at Schmitz-Maki Arena. Farmington’s 4-1 victory did not affect the conference championship race as Eagan had already clinched first place. Eagan, which closed the regular season with a 2-2 tie at Lakeville North on Saturday, is the top seed in the Section 3AA playoffs and played host to Rosemount on Wednesday at Eagan Civic Arena. The winner plays Burnsville or East Ridge in the semifinals at 1 p.m. Saturday at Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights.

No money will be refunded to any person who obtains plans and specifications. Best Value Contracting Selection: This project is extensive, involving many affected property owners. 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., Tuesday, February 20, 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, February 26, 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.

NATURE, from 1A mission members, who reacted enthusiastically. The city will pilot a play area at Terrace Oaks East, a popular trail and nature destination. Beck said he hopes to have it ready by June 1. “It’s very telling that we have to manufacture a setting like this in order to get kids outside when most of us probably just grew up doing this,� CommissionSETTLEMENT, from 1A

Before the lawsuit was dismissed, the city of Eagan negotiated a settlement with Benson, which was approved by the City Council as part of its consent agenda during its Jan. 16 meeting. In the settlement letter, the League of Minnesota Cities insurance reportedly paid out $50,000.

zations that benefit underserved or underprivileged children,� Brooks said. It’s a group effort. They’ve served breakfast at a safe house for at-risk young women in Phoenix before a Arizona Cardinals game. “It’s really rewarding,� Brooks said.

The group helped with a leadership conference in Seattle, volunteered at a clinic in New Orleans, helped with a career day in Chicago, and took youths from Los Angeles on a outing. “We make it a long weekend,� Brooks said. “We’re grateful to travel

to see our beloved Eagles, but we like to do something with the local charities. Frankly it’s become a highlight of our trip.� They still went to the Super Bowl Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Mall of America, and Nicollet Mall, the site of several

Super Bowl-related activities. “We got the full experience, but we wanted to carve out time for this,â€? Brooks said. “We’re trying to do some good and having some fun ‌ It’s about sharing this experience with a close-knit group of guys. The charity event

creates a special bond. We’re thankful to work with them.� To volunteer at Feed My Starving Children, visit www.fmsc.org.

Amenities in the design include a swimming pool, fitness center, yoga studio, private event room, dog washing station, outdoor grilling station and outdoor terrace. “It’s one of the final parcels in the Cedar Grove development,� City Ad-

ministrator Dave Osberg said. The Cedar Grove District was designed to become a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly area. It includes the Twin Cities Premium Outlets and the Hilton Home2. A Fairfield Inn & Suites is also being

built. Other residential developments in the area include New Perspective Eagan, Lincoln Place, The Flats at Cedar Grove, Nicols Ridge, Silver Bell Center and Cedar Grove Townhomes The City Council passed

the rezoning, preliminary planned development and final planned development during the meeting. The council will review the final plat Feb. 20. Commercial Investment Properties purchased the property from the Eagan Economic Development

Authority for $1.7 million in March 2017. The EDA acquired the property between 2003 and 2008 as part of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment TIF District.

er Tim Tweedy said. “We played like this — that’s just the way it was.� If the low-cost concept proves popular at Terrace Oaks, a nature play area will likely be added in each quadrant of the city next year, Beck said. “We think if a park like this went in, it would be successful based on what we’re seeing in other communities around the country,� Beck said. Eagan, Farmington, Bloom-

ington and several other metro cities already have them. The term “nature deficit disorder� was coined to describe the “strong preference� of today’s children to stare at screens instead of go outside, according to Beck. Research in recent years has shown the importance — and necessity — of time outdoors, according to Beck. “The studies show that

kids are smarter, they’re happier, they’re more attentive in the classroom, they’re less anxious, they’re more creative, they’re more confident, less stressed, and that’s just a few of the different health benefits,� he said. Like any activity, nature play can be dangerous — but by keeping the areas natural, cities can immunize themselves from liability, according to Beck. Basic safety features

such as wood chips and minimal fall heights can be built in, he said. The ground itself can be part of nature play. “We used to think mud was bad,� Beck said. “But the reality is kids love mud, and as long as the parents know that it’s a possibility, it just creates another play experience and opportunity.� In addition to offering trails, Terrace Oaks East has active-park features

including a traditional playground, a ball field, basketball and tennis. Children who use those features may help create an audience for the new play area, Beck said. The park also has a warming house that could double as a nature camp.

Benson received $33,333 and $16,667 went to his attorneys. As part of the settlement, Benson, a 19year veteran of the department, also agreed to resign. It was signed Jan. 12. Multiple court documents that were used as sources in the Feb. 2 story regarding the dismissal did not reference that any settlement had been

reached. They said the case had been dismissed Jan. 16 without costs or disbursements to any of the parties. The city’s Employment Agreement and Release for Benson said the sums paid to Benson are nonwage related payments and constitute damages in a case involving emotional and financial harm in or around November 2016.

Scott and Eagan deny any liability and the settlement absolves them of any future claims, and Benson agreed to dismiss all remaining claims. The document also said the execution of the agreement is not to be construed as an admission of unlawful conduct by either party. The city said in a statement that “the City of Ea-

gan and Fire Chief Scott continue to deny that they engaged in any discrimination as more fully set forth in papers filed with the court and available to the public.� The city also said it strongly denied the allegation that a department restructuring was the reason for the change in Benson’s position. Benson was a battalion

chief since 2014 but was not reappointed after the interview process in November 2016 after six staff members applied for three positions. He was asked to remain as an on-call firefighter, which ranks below battalion chief.

Rain garden workshops are set in Burnsville Burnsville and Dakota County residents are once again invited to attend free Landscaping for Clean Water workshops. The workshops are offered 6:15-7:30 p.m. Monday, March 5, and Tuesday, April 10, at Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, (use Door 1, Savage Room), Burnsville. These introductory workshops provide tips and

tricks on creating native gardens, rain gardens and shoreline stabilization projects that benefit local water quality and provide muchneeded habitat for pollinators. During the workshops, which last just over one hour, participants will learn about low-maintenance native gardens, rain gardens and native shoreline stabilization projects that help keep water bodies clean.

In addition, trained instructors will provide affordable examples of gardens that transform conventional urban yards into beautiful and beneficial landscapes – all while providing habitat for pollinating insects. These gardens also help filter storm water runoff, which helps stop pollutants from flowing to lakes and streams. After attending an introductory workshop, partici-

pants can sign up to attend a $25 rain garden design course, where they will receive design assistance to create a functioning rain garden specific to their own yard. Registration is required by emailing swcd@ co.dakota.mn.us or calling 651-480-7777. Visit www. dakotacountyswcd.org for more information. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation

One Book, One Lakeville Free tickets to the 10th anniversary celebration of One Book, One Lakeville featuring “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann are now available. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles,

built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. In “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood and the evidence that revealed a series of sinister secrets and reversals. The One Book, One Lakeville celebration is 7-9 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. For tickets, go to https://webtrac.lakevillemn.gov.

Residents can review the renovation plan for Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings during an open house Thursday, Feb. 22. Floor plans, 3-D renderings and concept images will be available to view, and Dakota County staff and consultants will answer questions. The open house will be 5-7 p.m. at the library, 1490 S. Frontage Road, Hastings. Dakota County has selected Minneapolisbased Kodet Architectural Group as the designer for the Pleasant Hill Library renovation. Design meetings began in early January 2018. Pleasant Hill has not undergone renovation since its construction in 1994. The renovated library will feature amenities that include a larger community meeting room, an iLAB, conference room, a family restroom, a larger dedicated space for teenagers and more. The design process is anticipated to be completed in July 2018. A detailed schedule for construction will be available after the bid is awarded in late summer. More information can be found at www.dakotacounty.us./library.

its Meet The Author series Thursday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m. at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. Krogman is the author of “Stuff of Nightmares,” which is based on the fact that unidentified human remains add up to some 4,400 new cases every year in the U.S. When the manner of death is determined a homicide, bringing the case to a successful resolution and the murderer to justice is nearly impossible. In most cases when identity can be established, life segments begin to congeal, possible suspects are established and through the process of elimination a prime suspect emerges. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. But in the case of this book, sometimes it doesn’t. As investigators build their case in the book, there are times when the simplest of requests are the hardest to fulfill, the best of intentions leading to the worst of conclusions. At times like this investigators can find themselves out there edging their way across a highwire and working without a net. Krogman lives in a suburb of St. Paul with his wife of 44 years. They have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Thisweekend Contest to name zoo’s new tapir calf Shannon Park students honored The Minnesota Zoo held the public debut of the 1 month-old endangered Malayan tapir calf on Tuesday. The soonto-be-named female was born on Jan. 6. Zoo guests will be able to see the calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. To help celebrate this milestone, the zoo will be launching a public naming contest for the new female calf. The general public will be able to submit their name suggestions on mnzoo.org through Feb. 11. Zookeepers will select the top three names and the public will have the chance to vote for their favorite, Feb. 13-15. The tapir calf’s official name will be announced on Feb. 16, prior to the zoo’s annual Tropical Beach Party. “We are very excited to finally introduce the public to our newest tapir calf,� says Tropics Trail curator, Tom Ness. “It has been fun to watch her and mom bond behind the scenes this past month. She definitely has her own personality and it will be interesting to see all of the name suggestions from our guests.� The new calf is one of 37 tapirs currently in North American zoos. Born at 16 pounds, she has been rapidly growing behind the scenes with mom and currently weighs approximately 44 pounds. Because she will only be viewable in the public tapir habitat for limited periods of time, she can be seen via the zoo’s social media channels and a special webcam. The Malayan tapir’s gestation period varies from 390-419 days. Moth-

Minnesota Zoo guests will be able to see the new Malayan tapir calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. ers usually give birth every two to four years to a single calf (twins are rare). At birth, a calf weighs approximately 10-20 pounds. For the first 6-8 months of their life, tapir calves resemble furry watermelons with legs. They are dark brown to black with alternating bands of yellowishwhite stripes and spots. Young tapirs grow quickly and can weigh as much as 450 pounds at one year of age; they reach adult size in 2-3 years. Malayan tapirs are one of the most endangered animals in Southeast Asia; there are fewer tapirs than tigers in the wild. Their population is declining due to road mortality, habitat loss from deforestation for agricultural

purposes, flooding caused by dam building for hydroelectric projects, and illegal trade. People can help wild tapirs by shopping smart for sustainable palm oil. In human care, Malayan tapirs are managed for breeding purposes by a Species Survival Plan, which, through the coordinated efforts of several zoos throughout North America, helps maintain a backup gene pool for the future aid of the wild population. The zoo currently participates in many SSP programs, including the Malayan tapir. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org.

Schumann’s “Abendlied� was originally a piece for piano four-hands that he wrote to play with his daughter, Marie.

18A Feb. 9, 2018 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

PORT, from 1A cused by several women of improper conduct. “I think in my case it’s different than probably the general movement across the country,� Port said. “I think because I spoke out about sexual harassment, there was a price to pay.� Labeled by some an enabling factor in a popular senator’s downfall and fearing that sexual harassment would define — and obscure — her campaign, Port exited her rematch with Peterson in 56B, which includes southern and part of central Burnsville and part of northern Lakeville. “I fell in love with this district when I was working on (former DFL Rep.) Will Morgan’s campaign in 2014 and just really dove headlong into my race last year and loved being a candidate,� said Port, 35, who runs a politiMANN, from 1A though Early Childhood Family Education classes. “I went to her house and asked her to think about throwing her hat in the ring. She decided to do that.� Mann, who supports moving toward singlepayer health care in Minnesota and nationally, hadn’t been involved in grass-roots politics before the Port campaign. She’s animated by the health care issue, her dislike of the president and what she says are damaging attitudes and rhetoric. “Our president has been accused of sexual harassment by more than a dozen women. I don’t think that’s OK,� said Mann, who bristles at negative characterizations of

cal nonprofit, Blueprint Campaigns, and whose husband, Steve, runs Burnsville-based game company Legion Supplies. “I really enjoyed that experience and I will probably do it at some point again. But the reality is I fell in love with the voters of this district and their stories, and if I had continued to be the candidate the only story would be about sexual harassment and me, and that wasn’t fair to my district. I wanted them to have a candidate who could focus 100 percent on the needs of the district.� In early November, MinnPost reported accusations of sexual harassment from Port, Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and Rep. Jamie Becker Finn, DFL-Roseville. Port told MinnPost that Sen. Dan Schoen, DFLSt. Paul Park, grabbed her buttocks and made a crude

remark at a party event in August 2015 when she was a first-time candidate. He was a representative at the time. Port also reported the incident to DFL Rep. Erin Murphy, then the House minority leader. Maye Quade alleged that Schoen sent improper text messages to her in 2015 after she announced her House campaign. Maye Quade also said she received sexually harassing texts from Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, after taking office. On Nov. 10, Maye Quade, Port and BeckerFinn called on the Legislature to create a sexual harassment task force establishing procedures to answer allegations from legislators, lobbyists, candidates and the public. Schoen and Cornish subsequently resigned. “It’s been over 75 days now since we called for that, and there’s no task

force,� Port said. “Clearly, our job is not done. I will continue to work toward that and use whatever political power I have left to make that happen.� She and Maye Quade “both reported our harassment to the systems that be, and nothing happened when we did,� Port said. “That was more than two years ago. There’s a system in place, and it doesn’t work.� The #MeToo movement of women breaking their silence about sexual harassment by powerful men encouraged her and Maye Quade to do likewise, according to Port. “Erin and I had talked about it long before we went public, when and how we could do it without ending our political careers,� Port said. “It felt like there was a moment, and so we took it.� But Port was unprepared for the backlash to

come. “At first, I realized my calls weren’t getting returned,� she said. “That started Erin and I both talking. She was having a hard time getting ahold of donors who had supported her in the past as well. And we definitely started seeing change in the tenor of social media comments.� Port believes she became an easy target for some party activists, donors and past supporters upset that Franken stepped down, “even though our situations weren’t at all connected.� She recalled “some pretty aggressively nasty comments to the point where people were theorizing that Erin and I were paid by some shadowy figure to soften the ground up for Al Franken to be accused, which sort of blew my mind.� Her campaign and her nonprofit — which sup-

ports diverse, young and new candidates — suffered. “We lost $70,000 in pledges (to Blueprint Campaigns), and my campaign lost $6,000 in pledges and donations,� Port said. She was “too controversial,� some told her to her face or over the phone. But she hopes to remember this moment in history for more than personal backlash. “Almost every woman that I know has a #MeToo story,� Port said. “I think hopefully, it will help change the national dialogue as we talk about this. It’s very clearly not a few bad apples. It’s a pervasive culture that we have in our country, and until we talk about that, we’re never going to change it.�

“people of color and immigrants and Muslims and different religions. That really upsets me quite a bit. I am an immigrant, I am a woman, I am Latina — that hits home for me.� Mann was 8 when her parents brought their family from the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre to Richfield, where she was raised. Brazil was in economic and political turmoil, Mann said. “Crime was through the roof, and things were not going well,� said Mann, who said her family, including three brothers, got green cards and later earned citizenship. “And so my parents decided, ‘We don’t want to raise kids in this situation.’ � Mann grew up wanting to be a doctor. She attended Meharry Medical

School in Nashville, Tennessee, and completed her family practice residency at the Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She also earned a master’s degree from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Married with three sons, ages 1, 3 and 5, Mann works at Northfield Hospital’s Lakeville Family Health Clinic and in the hospital’s emergency room. U.S. health care is “very much broken,� Mann said, adding that single-payer is her long-term goal. “Fifty other countries have done this, and most of them have better health outcomes than we do,� she said. “Something is not adding up here. Something needs to happen.� Working with nonprof-

its and using her vacation time, Mann has delivered medical care to poor people in Tanzania, Mali, Nicaragua, Haiti and Brazil. She also delivered care in Puerto Rico after the recent hurricane and at a Syrian refugee camp in Greece. “I even have a hard time talking about it now,� Mann said of the refugee experience. “The example I use is, they would go, ‘I have back pain.’ ‘When did your back pain start?’ ‘It started last month when I was hung upside down and tortured for three weeks.’ And every story was like that.� Mann opposes Trump’s plan to cap U.S. refugee admittances far below what President Obama allowed and expiration of the DACA program for

children born here to undocumented parents. Mann said Port’s departure may have slowed DFL momentum in District 56B, but she is gaining supporters and has an appetite for learning as she goes. “I’m a mom of three boys. I want them to be respectful of people. I want them to have a good education. I want their education to have appropriate funding,� she said. “I work as a physician, and I hear stories every single day about people who can’t come see me, who can’t buy their medications. And I’ve been doing this for a decade, and the stories are getting worse and worse. So finally I said, ‘OK, I’m going to leave my little world of medicine and I’m going

to step over here in politics and see if I can help.’ �
