Vikings officially move to Eagan Local youth football players help test turf by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

South metro residents will likely pay a visit to the new Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center for more than one reason now that it’s open. The Minnesota Vikings officially moved to its new headquarters in Eagan on March 5 and local youths were one of the first to get a look. Members of the Eagan football program between seventh and 11th grade were invited to the indoor practice facility March 6 to give the indoor turf a test run. “Coach (Mike) Zim-

mer wanted some people to help break in the turf,� Eagan football coach Ben Hanson said. “I guess new turf needs to be broken in a bit. We were the first ones to use it. The kids had a blast. ... Put yourself in the shoes of a seventh-grader, even an 11th-grader. They had the opportunity to run around in an professional football team’s indoor practice field. They had a lot of chatter with their friends who weren’t on the football team. It was a big boost.� Technically, in accordance with Minnesota State High School League rules, the football coaches couldn’t facilitate a practice, but they were there to See VIKINGS, 10A

community with a fire truck parade, community parade, fireworks display, food, vendors/shopping, live music, a carnival and more. There are many ways to get involved in the festival planning. Civic-minded citizens are invited to help with marketing, publicity, parade planning, beer gardens, children’s events, sign strategies, sponsorships and general event

planning. Meetings are held the second Thursday of every month at Burnsville City Hall, 100 Civic Center Parkway. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and typically last around 90 minutes. Contact Tami Allen at burnsvilleparade@gmail. com for more information or to attend a meeting. Learn more at www. burnsvillefiremuster.org.

Beginning in mid- to late-March, Burnsville residents may begin noticing some changes to the street lights in their neighborhood. According to Xcel Energy, the new LED lights will have a more efficient light pattern, reducing glare and focusing light directly on the area to be lit (typically corners and midblock locations). These new lights are also meant to reduce “spillage� of excess light into neighboring yards and windows. Xcel Energy intends to have streetlights in Burnsville converted to LEDs by the end of March. This change-out will not impact any local neighborhood decorative street lights. For more information, visit www.burnsville. o rg / D o c u m e n t C e n t e r / View/12616.

Metro Republican Women meet “Sharpening the Challenge to Female Genital Mutilation� will be the topic at the Metro Republican Women’s breakfast meeting on March 17 at Mendakota Country Club. Bill sponsor, Rep. Mary Franson, attending through Skype, and three Somali mothers in person will explain why legislation to criminalize female genital mutilation is warranted to stop the barbaric ritual. “Almost too difficult to discuss and imagine, the legislation against female genital mutilation must be passed to hold parents accountable,� said MRW President Margaret Flower. “The law must protect these young women from this physical and emotional abuse.� Although Minnesota made female genital mutilation or cutting against the law in 1994, the cultural practice has not stopped. “Cutting� refers to the removal of the clitoris and labia of the female genitalia in young girls, ages 4 to 12. Even when U.S. law does not allow young girls who have been “cut� to immigrate, parents outsmart the custom officials by getting the procedure done after the required medical exam. The procedure traumatizes the young woman and results

in short-term and longterm health consequences. FGM is prevalent in 95 percent of the Somali culture, the highest of all nations where the practice continues. Opponents feel that the incarceration will traumatize the family and lead to families avoiding all health care services. The meeting will be held at Mendakota Country Club, 2075 Mendakota Drive in Mendota Heights, with breakfast buffet served at 8:30 a.m.; the program begins at 9 a.m. Cost is $20 for members, $25 for nonmembers and $15 for students. With no reservations by the deadline, the cost is $25. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are encouraged. Those interested may go to metrogopwomen.org to pay online or simply make a reservation and pay at the door. Reservations for lower price needed by Tuesday, March 13.

Nationwide walkout gets local Students gather at Apple Valley High School to protest gun violence by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

“Enough is enough.� “Our time has come.� “We need change, we cause change.� Students from Apple Valley High School, the School of Environmental Studies (SES) and Prior Lake High School chanted together on Wednesday, March 14, as part of a nationwide school walkout protesting gun violence. Students from all over the nation participated in similar events on Wednesday in solidarity with students in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people died in a school shooting a month before. These events were student organized, led and facilitated. SES students carpooled to the Apple Valley Community Center parking lot, and at 9:50 a.m., walked as a group to Apple Valley High School, chanting “Hear us now.� They met with students walking out of Apple Valley High School and gathered in the parking lot near Hayes Road. The students had set up a sound system, and promptly at 10 a.m. student leaders began leading cheers and chants as around 200 students gathered. The event began with a timeline of all the major school shootings that have happened in the U.S., from Columbine to Parkland. Students held up posters and spoke the name of each school, and the crowd participated in a moment of silence for each. Then, student leaders from Apple Valley High School and SES took the microphone to give speeches. Apple Valley student Mykel Parham told her peers that change is necessary and asked the students to be part of creating that change through voting and writing letters to their representatives. SES student Zach Hayes argued for increased gun control and regulations, citing articles and studies to back up each of his points. SES student Julia Scovil ar-

gued against the Trump administration’s suggestion to arm teachers. “My parents are both teachers,� she said. “I, as a student and a daughter, don’t want to have guns in the classroom.� Apple Valley student Serena Abraham began her speech by saying that she was new to protesting, but that she shouldn’t have to be protesting for her own safety as a student. “Imagine staring down the barrel of an AR-15 when you are 15?� she said. “I’m over it.� The student leaders encouraged their peers to vote, as many current juniors and seniors will be 18 by the mid-term election. They also asked that this walkout not be an isolated event, but rather the beginning of their work. Some students are already planning to participate in the “March for Our Lives� at the Minnesota State Capitol on March 24. Local community members, parents, teachers and religious leaders showed up at the walkout to support the students. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, who has supported the student leaders throughout their planning process, attended but encouraged the student voices to be the ones projected through the sound system.

Planning the protest District 196 students were in conversation with legislators about gun control before the Parkland shooting. Students in a Capitol Policy and Law class at the School of Environmental Studies connected with Maye Quade while presenting their research about gun laws to her. When students across the nation began to organize, SES students asked Maye Quade to meet with them. She helped them connect with student leaders from Apple Valley High School, and they all met with Maye Quade at Dunn Brothers in Apple Valley two Sundays before the walkout to come up with a plan. Students from Prior Lake High School also joined the conversation, as their school was

Students from the School of Environmental Studies, Apple Valley High School and Prior Lake High School gathered in the AVHS parking lot at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 14, to protest gun violence.

Prior to the protest, the student leaders were in communication with their schools’ administrations. They discovered they’d get an unexcused absence for participating, but learned they did indeed have a right to assemble and could not be punished. “Knowing it’s an unexcused absence was kind of a breath of relief,� said Hayes. “When we originally came up with the idea, we didn’t know what the

support for their schools via health funding rather than arming teachers. “Our intentions are as crystal clear as possible,� Parham said. “We are not here to protest schools; we are here for our safety.� It was important for the protest to take place at Apple Valley High School. “We chose Apple Valley because we are getting a new security entrance to the building,� Parham said. “It’s great that the front entrance is being updated, but it’s like we are being reactive instead of proactive. We want to point that out.� She’s concerned that the new security won’t protect students from school shootings, and she said there needs to be another solution other than participating in lockdown drills. “No one is going to stop a student from walking into their own high school,� Parham said. “The entrance is to stop intruders; a student who attends Apple Valley will not be an intruder.� Although they knew they would miss class, many students saw the protest as an extension of what they’ve been learning in the classroom. Scovil said studying at SES has made her passionate about standing up to injustice. “We are a school that is really built on becoming involved in our community and creating change where change needs to be made,� Scovil said. Although some students had participated in protests before, for many, this was their first time. “I’m just really excited to see students get out and protest and actually have their voice heard in this community. For some students, this could honestly be a life-changing event,� Scovil said. “In high school, a lot of the time you feel like you have no power, you have no voice. I hope this will encourage students and show that we — as young people — we do have power.�

repercussions would be. We think more students will be able to participate now that they know.� Parham, the main student organizer at Apple Valley High School, said the goal of the protest was to get the attention of lawmakers and gain their support. The students advocated for three main changes: raising the minimum age to purchase firearms from 18 to 21, putting more restrictions on automatic Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.miassault weapons and gaining helich@ecm-inc.com.

County Attorney Backstrom to seek re-election Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom announced last week his bid for re-election in 2018. Backstrom was first appointed as Dakota County attorney in September 1987 by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to fill out the term of his predecessor who became a judge. He previously served as an assistant Dakota County attorney for nine years. He has been elected seven times since 1990. Backstrom oversees a staff of approximately 100, including 43 attorneys, in Minnesota’s third largest county. In prosecuting crime, he said in a press release that his office works closely with 11 police departments, Dakota County Sheriff Tim Les-

lie’s Office, and other state and national law enforcement agencies. The office also initiates legal actions to protect children and vulnerable adults, assists in the enforcement of child support obligations and provides legal advice and assistance to all Dakota County officials, among other duties. “The many accomplishments I have achieved as Dakota County Attorney over the past 30 years would not have been possible without the hard work and assistance of the outstanding individuals on my staff,� Backstrom said. Backstrom noted that the illegal distribution and possession of drugs continues to be a major concern that negatively im-

pacts not only the user, but family members, friends and the community. Many other crimes such as robbery, assault, theft, child abuse and neglect are often connected to the illegal use of drugs. Backstrom helped lead the successful effort in 2016 to amend Minnesota’s drug laws to provide greater opportunities for non-violent drug offenders to address their underlying chemical addictions, while at the same time adding harsher sanctions for the most dangerous drug dealers. Backstrom also proposed and supports Dakota County’s civil litigation against opioid manufacturers and distributors to address the significant adverse impact this epidemic has had upon our community.

Senior housing, medical office proposed Site is east of I-35E, south of 42 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville lacks such high-amenity rental housing for seniors, Council Member Dan Gustafson said. “Thank you for bringing your investment into Burnsville,� Council Member Dan Kealey told the developers. “This is a great project.� The property is bounded on the south by single-family homes on Chateau Lane and Chateau Court; on the east by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School and the Minnesota South LCMS offices; and on the west and north by the freeway. “You’re going to be in a highly visible aarea where the interstate divides,� Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. Minnesota-based Roers has a development portfolio of more than $400 million and senior projects under construction in Richfield and Minnetonka, said principal partner Jeff Koch. Because independent senior housing isn’t permitted under the property’s B-1 zoning, the council would have to approve a planned unit development to allow it.

Senior housing and a medical office building are proposed for a prominent vacant property in Burnsville. Roers Investments LLC is proposing a four-story, 120-unit senior housing project and a 15,000-square-foot medical office building on six acres east of Interstate 35E and south of County Road 42. The City Council gave the developer its nod to continue working on the project when sketch plans were presented at a work session Tuesday. In 2004, 71 condo units and office space were approved for the property, at 14300 Grand Ave., but never built. The new plans call for the medical office building on the west side of the property and the four-story, 165,000-squarefoot senior housing building on the east side. The rental project includes 105 independent and assisted-living units and 15 studio apartments for memory care. Proposed amenities include a cafe-pub, restaurant, salon-spa, workout facility and outdoor garden, according to a city staff Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ report. ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Backstrom noted many other challenges that he is committed to continuing to address in Dakota County, including gun violence; sexual assaults; child and domestic abuse; elder abuse; identity theft; and sex trafficking. “I have been privileged to live and work in Dakota County for over 40 years,� he said. “The safety of this community is important to me and my family. My decision to seek re-election is based upon my goal of continuing to provide the highest level of service

possible to Dakota County residents, the victims of crimes, and all of the other clients and individuals we serve each day.� Backstrom is a member of the Board of Directors of the Minnesota County Attorneys Association and has served as president of this organization on two occasions. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National District Attorneys Association and co-chaired the Juvenile Justice Committee of NDAA for over a decade.

He was selected by Minnesota Lawyer Magazine as one of the Attorneys of the Year for 2002 and received the 2006 Johnson Distinguished Service Award, which is the highest honor given by the Minnesota County Attorneys Association. He was honored by the National Child Protection Training Center in 2011 for his work with child abuse victims.

Opinion In Minnesota, helping students plan for future is a law by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota state legislators have given students and families an important opportunity and responsibility: A state law requires that, beginning in 2013-14 and starting in the ninth grade, educators help students develop a post-high-school plan that is “reviewed and revised at least annually by the student, the student’s parent or guardian.” Unfortunately, some students report they are not doing this. Some parents have told me they didn’t know about the law. Families may identify special talents or interests children have that educators have not yet discovered. Families also may have community contacts that can help their own and other’s children develop plans. Award-winning author Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” My goal today is to inform and encourage, not criticize. Planning and then making decisions about life after high school are some of the most important decisions that students make. To help refine its program, St. Paul Public Schools wisely surveys graduating seniors. I encourage each school to do this. Among other things, SPPS asked its 2017 seniors, “Did you develop a career or post-secondary education plan while in high school?” Only 45 percent said “yes.” The percentage responding “yes” varied from 29 percent at one district school to 97 percent at another. In early March, I asked 35 Minnesota suburban and rural school districts and charter public schools whether they followed this law and whether they surveyed seniors to ask if they had created such a plan. All 23 that responded report they are following the law. Most are not surveying seniors. Several agreed that that parent involvement in planning is, as Julia Espe, Princeton superintendent, wrote, “an

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan area upon which we can improve.” Cambridge Superintendent Raymond Queener told me, “Parent sign-off occurs annually (minimally) with registration.” Braham Superintendent Ken Gagner believes that “we definitely have room to grow” with family involvement in the process. Bloomington Superintendent Les Fujitake pointed out that developing a plan is a graduation requirement for students, but “parent sign-off is not a requirement.” Jana Hennen-Burr, ISD 728 (Elk River area) assistant superintendent, explained, “At this time, we do not require parents to review the plan, but this is a next step in our process.” To help, the Minnesota Department of Education has compiled a vast array of information that families and schools can use to help students develop plans. Information is here: http://bit. ly/2Fo6It7. Planning helps make whatever a student wants to do much more likely to happen. Students who want to consider joining the military can make part of their personal plan learning what the various branches seek. Students who want a particular job can develop the skills or knowledge to prepare them for it. The 23 districts and charters that responded to my questions use different approaches. Some require a plan for graduation. Some imbed planning in classes, while others make student plans a central part of counselors’ jobs. Here’s part of what some of them reported. Ruth Dunn, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage communications director, wrote: “All our students use Naviance (computer program) to complete their career

and college planning. Families have access to Naviance too. Plans are reviewed with counselors. “School counselors take the lead on career and college planning. School counselors go into classrooms to present and support students with this as part of work with students (grades 6-12). “All ninth-grade students take a required semester-long course as they begin their four years at Burnsville High School. It’s called Success 191 and it helps students identify likes/dislikes, investigate various careers, align interests to courses offered in pathways at the high school, and learn about college and career requirements and options.” Dunn listed many activities to help students “explore their interests and future careers right at their school and not have to travel elsewhere (which can be a barrier).” Stephanie Kass, director of communications and public relations for Lakeville Area Public Schools, wrote: “In order to graduate, all seniors (100 percent) are expected to complete the required plan. School administration sends a notification to families, which encourages the parent or guardian to review the plans individually, at home with their student. “Overall, students create their personal learning plans/career portfolios through the Minnesota Career Information System (MCIS). Every graduate must have the required components which include attending the career seminar, job shadow, senior interview, and participation in Opportunities Day activities. Deans visit with groups of students assigned alphabetically throughout the years. Lakeville South and Lakeville North hold Opportunities Day, which is an all-day event dedicated to postsecondary awareness and planning.” Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan director of secondary education Mark Parr responded: “Our high school counselors facilitate a process using a web-based service

designed for students and parents that can help in making decisions about high school courses, colleges and careers. It is entitled ‘Family Connection’ and is linked with their child’s counselor’s office. The counselors use the data to track and analyze data about college and career plans. “District 196 has developed a personal learning plan with specific milestones for each grade level. This plan is entitled ‘My Plan.’ It helps students to articulate academic and personal goals and craft learning experiences that reflect their individual strengths and interests and helps prepare them for post high school. Students work collaboratively with counselors, teachers and parents to develop their plans. Students revise and update their plans annually. Some of the plan elements include: Course Planner, Career Interest Finder, Strengths Explorer, Needs Assessment Tool, Colleges/Careers I am thinking about, Colleges I am applying to, Junior Reality Check (and) College Application Process. “All students and parents are involved in this process. We have data that can be tracked for each student as to their completion of each component.” Most families ask high school students what they’d like to do after high school. But success requires more than a conversation. Olympic gold medal winner Mia Hamm said, “The backbone of success is … hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.” While most of us won’t win a gold medal, families and educators can help students explore, select, work toward and, in many cases, achieve their goals.

School safety always evolving to get better by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Police chiefs in Minnesota are closely involved with their school administrators when it comes to keeping schools safe. Plymouth Police Chief Mike Goldstein, president of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, said he is confident his members are always upgrading and coordinating their plans to keep students safe. The question of police involvement in local schools has arisen since the Feb. 14 shooting of 17 students and staff at a high school in Parkland, Florida. Broward County Public School Superintendent Robert Runcie has told reporters that two police cars typically were on the campus at the high school on a daily basis. One deputy, however, did not enter the school on the day of the shooting because he said he believed the shots were coming from outside the school. At schools in Plymouth, Minnesota, there are two armed officers at each high

Don Heinzman school and one at the middle schools. Officers in the DARE program are involved in the elementary schools. In Bloomington’s school district there is one armed officer in each of the two high schools and one for the three middle schools. Anoka-Hennepin, which is the largest school district in Minnesota, has 13 police-liaison officers assigned to the five senior high schools, six middle schools, River Trails Learning Center and a regional alternative school. Jim Skelly, the director of communications for Anoka-Hennepin, said the district actually has an emergency management school safety coordinator who meets monthly with law enforcement

agencies to go over the latest strategies. Independent School District 728, serving the communities of Elk River, Zimmerman, Otsego and Rogers, has three high schools. The Elk River Police Department has three juvenile detectives assigned to the high schools and middle school. Two officers are assigned to the Rogers schools, and in Zimmerman a deputy is assigned from the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office. As for a situation when there are shots heard within a school, officers are trained to enter the school immediately, locate and neutralize any threat that could end with a killing, said Bloomington Police Deputy Chief Mike Hartley. In Hennepin County, every law enforcement agency follows that same plan, except for Minneapolis, which has its own protocol, Goldstein said. “I am proud of our relationship with the school officials. And we are not different than other communities,” Goldstein said. “We have good plans in place, we share resources, and there is not a time

when we are not engaged locally,” he said. Goldstein said his officers work closely with school officials in determining whether a student could be a threat. “This has happened more than once,” said Goldstein. Officers have access to the latest training through the Minnesota School Safety Center, county sheriffs and networking with other police chiefs, Goldstein said. For now the police association does not have plans to develop a one-size-fitsall school safety game plan for its members because chiefs have access to other resources to improve their safety plans. The association does favor more funding for school safety, a “hardening of the target” and enhanced security measures. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Trumping power on tariffs To the editor: While I understand President Donald Trump’s reasons for the tariffs on steel and aluminum, I must say that he really does not have the power or authority to impose such tariffs. Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 gives Congress the power to regulate foreign commerce. Article I, Section 8, Clause l1 gives Con-

gress the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises.” Nowhere in the Constitution will one find the power to impose tariffs given to the president, not even in Article II. That is a power reserved to Congress only. Congress should point this out to the president and not allow him to impose tariffs. Congress should not allow the president to usurp its power. It’s not that I’m against tariffs. They may be necessary and in fact our govern-

ment was mainly funded with tariffs at one time. If the president wants to impose tariffs, he needs to make his case to Congress and Congress can do their duty in accordance with Article I, Section 8. MEL HENSCHEL Apple Valley

To the editor: For decades we have witnessed a decline in the value of a college degree. The ceaseless effort to have a large portion of high school graduates matriculate through an additional four or more years of higher education has often proved a costly failure. The original and noble purpose of a college education to solve mankind’s inexorable problems and to create virtuous character seems largely lost. And graduates and dropouts who seek a meaningful purpose and career their frustrations are mostly ignored. I am delighted to note that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, 2nd District, has now introduced legislation that will be most beneficial to those not best suited for a traditional college education. Promoting technical vocational training in areas in which employers are seeking skilled workers, creates incentives so that many millennials can pursue the American dream. This will be a tremendous aid helping American industry compete on a global basis. Lewis’ initiative is a

laudatory undertaking, and all citizens would do well to urge lawmakers to make this seminal undertaking become a reality. RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

Climate change and choices

hundreds of years. (Keep in mind, that there are “climate scientists” that could teach math with Bernie Madoff and look credible.) OK, so you give your $20 to save the world (for the future) and let the government spend it for you. But what about — the now? Don’t we all have an obligation to spend money wisely, to help the most people and do the most good? Don’t we have an obligation to make sure we aren’t being scammed by con-man science? OK, I’m a skeptic with all the “scientific models” but I’m also sad that we are wasting time, effort, money on an unprovable, hypothetical set of “facts” about the future of the world. History shows that science has been used before as a weapon of choice. In the meantime, there are people and needs that are screaming for help and climate change is just not worthy of the immediate list of priorities.

To the editor: If you had an extra $20 a month to spend on the most important thing in the world, what would it be? If you’re religious, you might donate it to your church. Or maybe you would donate money to solve hunger, after all, Venezuelans are literally eating rats to stay alive. You could help rescue women and children who are trapped in human trafficking which is growing around the world or you could invest in poor neighborhoods to survive. Considering all the needs, where do environmental and climate change issues fit on the SHARON PETERSON list of priorities?

Kreger has been the district’s director of special education and a member of the superintendent’s cabinet since 2005. She supervises six coordinators who oversee approximately 900 teachers, paraprofessionals and other special education staff who serve more than 4,200 students receiving special education services in the district’s 35 schools and learning centers. Prior to coming to District 196, Kreger worked for South Washington County Schools for 13 years as a special education teacher, coordinator and supervisor. She started her career as a substitute teacher, working in Minneapolis, Lakeville and District 196. “I love this district,� Kreger said in her comments to the board. “My three kids went through here, so I personally know what a difference being educated in District 196 makes for their lives. “I am so grateful to have been with such a wonderful superintendent for these last nine years who I’ve been able to learn from. Superintendent Berenz has left us with a culture of continuous improvement that is going to launch us into the future. We have the systems, we have the supports in place in this district and most importantly, we have the people. I am absolutely humbled and honored to serve as interim superintendent and I am confident we will continue to do great things for all of our kids.� Kreger has a master’s degree in special education and a specialist degree in education administration from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and earned her superintendent licensure from Minnesota State in 2013. She currently serves on the Minnesota Special Education Advisory Panel as an appointee of the Minnesota Department of Education.

BSU, from 1A It also created a “Black is Beautiful� hallway display to celebrate the month. Black History Month was a highlight of Buckner’s year at her previous school in New York City. Though BHS has about half students of color, Buckner steeled herself for an uncomfortable experience when she arrived last year as a junior. “From the moment I knew that I was coming here I had to prepare myself because I already knew it was going to be hard for me here, because I came from a school that was predominantly filled with black people and people that look like me,

and it was smaller and I felt more welcome,� Buckner said. “It’s kind of different for me,� said Abebaw, who came to District 191 from Ethiopia when she was 9. “Even though a lot of my friends are people of color, a lot of people in my classes aren’t, because I take higher-level courses like honors and AP. There’s barely any diversity in there, and I’m often the only black person in those classes. So it was very hard for me to be able to express myself in those classes, because even though I was interested in the subjects, I didn’t really feel like I connected with the students.� Abebaw was one of

four students — all girls, two immigrants, two African-Americans — who got the BSU rolling. They brought the idea to Morgan Stampley, the African-American cultural liaison for BHS and District 191’s three middle schools. Stampley — who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and was a leader of its BSU — was eager to help. The Mankato BSU was “like a second family to me,� said Stampley, whose position in District 191 was added this year. The position is an outgrowth of work Stanley has done on an “equity audit� of the district. The audit revealed some un-

equal outcomes between student groups, such as overrepresentation of diverse groups in intervention programs and underrepresentation in advanced courses. Stampley’s job is to help black students prepare for college or career, and the BSU is an excellent vehicle, said Stanley, who has led cultural proficiency efforts in District 191. “There is so much research also about affinity groups,� Stanley said, noting that BHS also has groups for LGBT students, students of Latino descent, Muslim students and girls in engineering. “There’s research that demonstrates when stu-

dents are able to organize themselves in affinity groups, it really helps them to find strength and character, it helps to build self-confidence, and it’s going to ultimately impact student performance.� BSU activities have included guest speakers such as Stanley and Cortez Hollis, the owner of a successful tax-preparation firm. The goal is to showcase professionals who look like the students and touch on important topics such as personal finance, Stampley said. “Things that in our community growing up, a lot of our parents and grandparents didn’t want to talk about,� she said. Another difficult topic

in the African-American community is mental health, said Buckner, who wrote a short skit about it for the Black History Month showcase. “I was like, ‘This is a perfect opportunity to talk about this,’ � she said. “And I think it’s also relatable, because I feel like every kid goes through it no matter what race. You feel like your parents don’t understand that what you’re feeling is valid, and that’s all you want someone to tell you, that your thoughts are valid, your feelings are valid, and you’re not crazy.�

A closer look at how the new tax reforms could impact seniors and retirees BY CECILIA BROWN CTW FEATURES

For an overwhelming majority of American seniors, the recent changes to the U.S. tax code should be good news. Still, taxes are a complicated topic, which means that for many retirees, the uncertainty surrounding the Tax Cuts and Job Act has increased their worry about how the changes will impact them this year. To avoid any unnecessary financial surprises, seniors should begin thinking about how the new bill will affect them as they look at their 2017 return. They can take action to be more prepared and understand their return by setting up a time to review their 2017 return with a CPA to project what next year’s will look like. There are still seven tax brackets, which now are set at 10 percent, 12 percent, 22 percent, 24 percent, 32 percent, 35 percent and 37 percent of your income (the old rates were 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, 28 percent, 33 percent, 35 percent and 39.6 percent). No changes were made to how much will be deducted for Social Security and Medicare. According to experts, seniors and retirees should be reassured that for most people, this bill means positive changes in several ways. The new tax plan maintains the extra standard deduction for those who are 65 and older – an additional $1,300 deduction. According to the IRS website, “In general, the standard deduction is adjusted each year for inflation and varies according to your filing status, whether you’re 65 or older and/or blind, and whether another taxpayer can claim you as a dependent. The standard deduction isn’t available to certain taxpayers. You can’t take the standard deduction if you itemize your deductions.� According to Leon LaBrecque, head of the

Michigan Association of CPAs Special Task Force on Tax Reform, in Troy, Michigan, “Many seniors will benefit from the increased standard [deduction]. The additional deduction for seniors and blind [people] is retained, so seniors get larger standard deduction.â€? This means that two married taxpayers who are both over 65 can reduce their taxable income by an extra $2,600. For the next two years, all taxpayers can write off medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of their income – in the 2019 tax year it is set to revert back to 10 percent. “Seniors who do itemize [deductions] will see a lower floor on medical deductions, which helps if they have long-term care expenses. Overall, most seniors should be better,â€? LaBrecque says. With the new tax act, charitable donations are still deductible. However, donations made by IRA owners over the age of 70 1/2 will come directly off of their gross income. Seniors can now contribute to a 529 plan – a taxlessening plan designed to encourage saving for future college costs – for their grandchildren to be

used not only for college but also for K-12, including private or religious schools. There is no immediate benefit to the donor, but the income is all tax-free, so the new law allows up to $10,000 a year to be withdrawn tax-free. Some states even allow income tax deductions for money contributed to the plan.

“Many of my clients like to contribute to their grandchildren’s education and this is expanded,� LeBrecque says. With the new tax reform, “there will be winners and losers and the only way to know for sure (and see the tax bracket level) is to ‘run the numbers’ using tax software and a good tax-planning CPA,� says Scott Bishop, a member of the Financial Planning Association in Houston, Texas. “Don’t let fear, anger or incorrect information lead you to believe that you will be worse off, know the law and plan appropriately,� Bishop says.

Education BAHS students raise funds for primates A fundraiser at Burnsville Alternative High School (BAHS) exceeded its goal and raised $465 for Colobus Conservation Limited, a member of the Pan Africa Sanctuary Alliance. A match from TJ’s Painting brings the grand total to $715. “I am so proud of the students’ dedication to this process,� said science teacher Angela Engelhardt. “Students were involved every step of the way, and took their leadership skills and used them to create a global impact.� Students decided to sponsor seven orphaned monkeys and one dwarf ga-

lago. They will get information on them throughout the year as their rehabilitation progresses. Colobus Conservation Limited is a not-for-profit organization designed to conserve, preserve and protect primates in Kenya. For more information, visit http:// www.colobusconservation.org/.

Home care services allow seniors to remain in their own homes By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Chester Pendroy of Bloomington, a 98-yearold paraplegic, has lived alone since his wife died 25 years ago. Although he has two children in the Twin Cities area, he says he counts on angels to get him through the day. That would be Visiting Angels of Burnsville, a provider of non-medical home care services for seniors and disabled adults. “They’re a good outfit,� said Pendroy, who receives assistance twice a day: from 9 a.m. to noon and again from 5 to 8 p.m. Mark Aspenson, executive director of Visiting Angels in Burnsville, said the agency primarily provides physical assistance

with personal cares, such as bathing and toileting, or memory care for people who are unable to drive, forget to take their medications, or need help with how to do things. “We provide services to make life easier,� Aspenson said, adding that each client’s services are tailored to the needs of the senior and his or her family. Visiting Angels seeks to develop an individualized program for each of its clients by creating a plan, based on speaking with family members, physicians, social workers, and nursing home staff as necessary. The agency then selects a home care services professional it believes would be a good match for the client. The agency also is able to help locate and arrange assistance with medical, fi-

and keep our clients safe.� One of the agency’s caregivers is Jane Lasko of Lakeville, a certified nursing assistant, who has been working in the caregiving field since she moved to Minnesota from Iowa in 1999. She joined Visiting Angels in 2009, switched to memory care at Highview Hills retirement community in Lakeville, and came back to Visiting Angels in 2013. She has a couple of regular clients. One, a woman with stage 4 Alzheimer’s, requires Lasko’s help during an eight-hour shift. The other, a male who has been a longtime paraplegic confined to a wheelchair, requires her help for a three-hour shift. “I do everything – whatever they need help with,� Lasko said. “I love it. I always had a love for seniors

when I was raising my five children. I volunteer at church visiting shut-ins. I have always had a caretaking instinct. I really love end-of-life care. It’s a real privilege to be there at the end of life, to give the family comfort and make the client comfortable.� When her mother became ill, Lasko said, she took a month off work to care for her. “My whole goal is to make sure that people who want to stay in their home get to do that,� Lasko said. “It’s really important to people in later years to be comfortable in their own home.� Home care services from Visiting Angels Burnsville are available up to 24 hours a day on a long-term, holidays, weekends, or temporary basis. The cost ranges from $30 to $35 per hour.

Cooperatives offer one lifestyle; caring for aging parents at home is another By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Judi and Randy Johnson have lived at Gramercy Park Cooperative at Lake Shore Drive in Richfield since the 12-story, 160-unit building was constructed in 2000. “We bought when it was still a hole in the ground,� Judi said. “We knew nothing about the area. We had lived in Columbia Heights.� But she knew that her nursing job then was going to take her to Japan for three months at a time for the next three to five years. The idea that they

wouldn’t have to worry about having someone check their mail and watch their house in their absence sounded good. “We saw something about this building in the newspaper,� Judi said. “Three months is a long time to be away. This sounded ideal. It’s been great. We haven’t regretted it for a minute.� The Johnsons opted for a three-bedroom unit because with both of them working at computers, one bedroom could become an office. Both have become involved with committees at the cooperative. Judi, a nurse, works on health and wellness. Randy has

helped with buildings and grounds, technology, and finance. “It’s surprising how involved people are,� Judi said. “Ninety percent of the residents come to the annual meeting.� The cooperative, managed by Ebenezer, is located across the street from the Wood Lake Nature Center. Inside the building, residents enjoy amenities that include a fitness room, library/media center, courtesy van, store, woodshop, home health care services available on-site, and an attached restaurant for payas-you-go meals. As their work activities have become lighter, the

Johnsons have more time to visit their two sons, one in Boston and the other in Chicago, and see their 1-year-old grandson. Judi, the founder of the “I Can Cope� program at North Memorial Medical Center, has lived for the last 30 years with the effects of a stroke that has affected the right side of her body. With the help of her husband, she still works, is able to hike, and enjoys trips to a summer cabin and Arizona. “I enjoy life,� Judi said. “That’s what counts.�

VIKINGS, from 1A supervise. “The older kids got everybody in groups to play some flag football and some 7-on-7,� Hanson said. “It was amazing. They weren’t kidding when they said you could punt indoors.� The indoor field has high enough ceilings to practice punting. Punters couldn’t practice at the old facility, Winter Park, as they had to go to US Bank Stadium or the Metrodome to practice indoors. Hanson said he was impressed. “It’s got everything you need for a professional sports team,� Hanson said. “To have this in our backyard, it’s great for the community.� The local community should get a good look soon. While the workspace is basically complete, Lester Bagley, executive vice president of public affairs, said overall construction is not. He said the plan is to have a community-wide celebration/open house in mid-June once the stadium is complete, which is scheduled for June 15. “We’re planning some kind of indoor-outdoor festivities with some potential special guests,� Bagley said. “It’s more of a formal ribbon-cutting moment.� He said they’re also planning an event for construction workers. About 200 workers are on site every day, he said. The Vikings made a point to hire many local contractors for the job.

The Minnesota Vikings officially moved to Eagan last week. The new facility features an upgraded training room, weight room, offices, indoor practice field, office space, meeting rooms, locker room and more. Once it is complete, the “My understanding is Twin Cities Orthopedics that they’re still working Performance Center plans with (MSHSL) about how to play host for several it would all work,� Hanson events in 2018 and beyond. said.

Beyond 2018, the stadium has the capacity to play host to both soccer and lacrosse games along with concerts. “We learned the importance of having a multi-use facility when we were putting together plans for US Bank Stadium,� Bagley said. The stadium also has the capacity to host to Division II and III football games in the future. Last month representatives from the Vikings asked the Eagan City Council to consider allowing open fires on the campus. Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott said the facility would need to operate like any other entity in Eagan, and fires would likely need to be in a designated location away from vehicles and buildings. Most of the current scheduled activities are in summer and early fall, but Bagley said the reason they asked about open fires is for late season quarterfinal high school football games, which are in November, along with potential college football games. “We offer that amphitheater experience, so there could be concerts too,� Bagley said. That’s all in the future. The first big test comes in July. Vikings training camp, which is the team’s preseason practice, has many sessions open to the public. It will be the first largescale event at the facility. When the event was in Mankato, the Vikings said 68,000 people attended each year.

“We’re anticipating if not double that number, at least in that range,� Bagley said. “We’re going to have to figure out access, parking and transportation.� Bagley said organizers are working with the city of Eagan and area businesses to design a transportation plan. With several thousand expected visitors, it’s unlikely everyone will be able to park on site. “We’re expecting with how popular our team is and with how good our team is right now and the fact that we’re close to the metro, we expect a significant number to come for training camp,� Bagley said. “We’re keenly focused right now on how to get people in and out of here.� One event the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center won’t have in 2018 is an NFL Draft party. The Minnesota Vikings often host an event during the draft for fans to watch together and celebrate the Vikings’ selections. In 2017, Draftfest featured autograph sessions and other team-related events. Bagley said it will likely be back at US Bank Stadium. “We won’t be quite ready for that with parking challenges and construction challenges going on around us, but that’s something we’ll look at in the future,� he said. Viking officials say they are positive team members be impressed with their new headquarters. General Manager Rick

Spielman said the recovery room and training room, from a sports science standpoint, is at the top of the game. Spielman said the facility should help the team’s performance on the field. “I don’t think there’s another building like this, certainly not in the NFL,� Spielman said. “Now we have the room for everything we need to do to have these players be the best players they can be.� Owner Mark Wilf agreed. “I’m loving Eagan,� Wilf said. “They’ve been a great partner.� Several officials noted that the Eagan development is 100 percent privately financed. They took several notes from the design of US Bank Stadium when building the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center with what Steve LaCroix, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, called a modern Nordic. “It’s a first class facility in everything that we’ve done,� Spielman said. The three-story facility looms over the south side of Highway 494 at 2600 Vikings Parkway. The campus known as Vikings Lake Development also includes a pair of Twin Cities Orthopedics medical buildings currently under construction along with plans for residential, commercial and hotel properties.

An on-site staff supervises and performs all repairs, maintenance, and upkeep for members. Each month, member/shareholders pay an amount (monthly carrying fees) that covers operating expenses. These include the mortgage payment and the property taxes. Mortgage interest and property taxes represent about 60 percent of the monthly charge and are deductible on the resident’s income taxes.

Caring for aging parents in your own home Terry Eggan, a Realtor who lives in Eden Prairie, has embarked on a new venture. He has developed a 45-minute presentation he gives to area church groups, senior citizen gatherings and conferences about his

experience with caring for his elderly parents in his home for 16 years. He and his wife, Nan Vest, built a new home in 1998 and added an apartment for Terry’s parents, Willard and Beulah. “We thought it would be a place for them to live with security,� Terry said. “We had no idea what we were heading for.� “For the first five years, it was like Camelot,� Terry said. “It was just wonderful. My parents were still doing very well. They still had their own lives and could do everything they wanted to do. Mom even cooked for us sometimes. But we respected each other’s boundaries.� As his parents aged and developed health problems, some home services were employed to fill in when needed. Nancy, a social worker with a background in home health care, helped with Beulah and Willard, as did a granddaughter who moved into the Eggans’ home to assist with the duties. Beulah died in 2013 at the age of 92, Willard in 2014 at the age of 93, both in hospice care, but still at home. “When they turned 90, they said they

He and his father, a longtime Eden Prairie home builder, had not been close, despite Terry’s growing up learning the home-building business at his dad’s side on construction sites. They became close as the end of life neared. “We said ‘I love you’ as often as we could,� Terry said. “We never would have had that otherwise.� He and Nan still would do the same thing again, Terry said. “There were so many things we got to

in many situations,� Terry said. “I know that each housing option, including staying at home, has some pros and cons that should be considered if making a change. Between my own experience with my parents, and the work I do, I have a lot of insight to share.� He advises people who have lived in their own homes for many years to start getting rid of things and planning a move while they’re still healthy. “If you wait until something happens, it’s emotional; it’s traumatic,� Terry said.

We all know that chemical dependency (alcohol and drug addiction) is a serious, sobering problem among teens and adults. What we don’t all know is that it’s also a serious concern among seniors. Grandmas and grandpas can become addicted just like people in other age groups. The incidence of substance abuse and dependency is about the same for those over 60 as it is for younger generations. Late-onset addiction is common. In fact, 70-year-old widowers are now the fastest

growing age group of alcoholics in the nation. In addition, 70% of older adults who are hospitalized, for whatever reason, also have some problem with alcohol or drugs. This is what we know. What we don’t know may be much worse, because many cases go undetected, unreported and untreated. Of course, it should be no surprise that addiction has no age limits. Many seniors are especially vulnerable. COLUMN - NEXT PAGE

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 16, 2018 11A

D’AGOSTINO, from 1A ramping up.� With his gregarious manner, booming laugh and black mustache, D’Agostino has for years been one of the department’s most recognizable faces, equally at ease in an elementary school classroom and a professional training room. He says he’s still fit for the job at 58 but wanted to finish 30 years as a fulltime firefighter-paramedic and exit while he’s healthy. Between his volunteer and professional service, he’s the department’s longestserving member. “You take a lifetime of experience and you have a great deal to give back,� the Burnsville resident said. “I think you have an obligation to your profession to try and do that.� D’Agostino grew up in Chicago, where a ride on a fire truck at age 7 permanently influenced his career choice. At 19 he moved from Madison, PARKS, from 1A ful,� Pimental said. “We wanted to make sure we’re building it with features they like.� Construction is scheduled for April 1-June 30, so if all goes as planned it should be open for Eagan’s July 4th Funfest, if not earlier, which is staged on the festival grounds near the proposed site. The company building the splash pad is responsible for the ones in Rose-

Wisconsin, to Burnsville, and studied architecture at Dakota County Technical College. He joined Burnsville’s Public Safety Department, a police-fire combo, as a firefighter in 1981. The functions split in 1984, and D’Agostino joined the Fire Department full time in 1987. Then-Chief Brian Holzer sent him to school to earn his paramedic certifica-

tion. D’Agostino had gained experience in fire and emergency medical service training even before he was promoted to captain and named training officer in 2007. After Jungmann arrived in 2011, D’Agostino said he and the new chief collaborated on a shift in training emphases. That included shifting some off-duty train-

ing hours traditionally reserved for EMS to firefighting, based on the latest fire-suppression research, D’Agostino said. “We spent time really shoring up and training on our engine company operations so our people are as efficient and effective as they can possibly be in moving hose lines and getting water to the fire,� he said. “Along with that, we bought new hose and nozzles that are easier to move and more efficient and effective. We created a system, and it should be effective.� Over the years, with the advent of self-contained breathing apparatus and improved fire-protective gear, the profession placed more emphasis on attacking fires from inside the structure and less on the immediate and proper application of water, D’Agostino said. “If there’s people inside the structure, we do them more good by putting the fire out than by

mount and Burnsville. “They’ve got it down,� Pimental said. “By the time they break ground to the date the pad is open, it’s about six to eight weeks. ... If nature cooperates, it could be open sooner (than July 4).� Eight pickleball courts are on track to be built at Quarry Park, 3340 Coachman Road, starting in April. Pickleball is similar to tennis, but it’s not as fastpaced.

The courts are scheduled to open in fall. Eagan isn’t the only place installing pickleball courts. “This is hugely popular,� Pimental said. “I think Eden Prairie is putting in a complex and maybe Minnetonka. Everyone has accepted the fact that it’s really popular and it’s not going anywhere. It’s a life sport. You can play it young, middle aged, well into your senior years.� A large group plays

weekday mornings at the Eagan Community Center. “That’s had to be expanded in recent years to keep up with demand,� Pimental said. The park’s soccer field and basketball court will be relocated in the process. The existing ballfields will remain in place. Plans include adding fencing to enclose the courts along with trees and a sun shelter structure. Lexington Diffley Skate

Seniors: Keep away from addictive patterns COLUMN - PREV PAGE

... by Bob Ramsey alcoholic explained, “I’m not much, but I’m all I ever think about.� Loneliness and selfloathing are often precursors of substance abuse. Sadly, many people including family members, often deny or pooh-pooh the importance of elder addiction. They rational-

ize that grandpa doesn’t have much time left, so why not let him have his fun. The problem is that it’s not fun. It’s hell. There’s an old Laurel and Hardy story (remember them?) in which Stan can’t find Ollie. He searches everywhere calling out, “Where are you?� Finally, he opens the closet door and there’s Ollie. “Why didn’t you answer?,� asks Stan and Ollie replies, “It was so dark I didn’t think you could hear me.� The story is mildly amusing; but when real life becomes so

Nearly every year since, Noah’s mother, Karen Hamm, who grew up in Apple Valley, brought him to the station to visit D’Agostino. Today, 20-year-old Noah is a member of the Steese Volunteer Fire Department in Alaska. Noah assembled a hard-cover book of photos his mother took of his annual visits with D’Agostino. He surprised his mentor by presenting the book — in person, all the way from Alaska — at D’Agostino’s retirement party. “I still don’t have words to describe that moment,� said D’Agostino, who is rarely lost for words. “I truly don’t.�

Following in his footsteps

D’Agostino never forgot his ride around the block on the tailboard of a Chicago fire truck. His children were similarly influenced by their father. Daughter Claire and son Anthony are both Hennepin County paramedics. Anthony is also a volunteer firefighter in Eagan, and Claire recently finished nursing school. Another youngster found his way into D’Agostino’s life in 2004. Noah Hamm, of Idaho, was visiting his grandmother in Burnsville.

The park will receive approximately $262,000 worth of upgrades to replace the old amenities with a new concrete skate park. It’s scheduled to open in June. George Ohmann Park, at 4730 Pebble Beach Way, also has an expansion plan, including new trail connections, adult fitness pods, multi-use fields and additional landscaping.

dark that you feel no one can hear your voice anymore, it’s not funny. Elder addiction robs sufferers of their identity, dignity, community and purpose. It prevents them from having any meaningful reason to live (other than to take more drugs) or from giving and receiving love or from leaving a positive, lasting legacy. The experts tell us there are three things we should know about elder addiction: 1. Family can’t fix family. It takes professionals and support from others who are recovering from the disease. 2. Recovery is more than sobriety. It requires life style changes. 3. Help is available; and older

Nan Vest, community outreach manager for The Retreat center, cites the example of a 90 plus year old woman who achieved recovery and lived out her last few years in serenity.

Sports Defense does it again for unbeaten Lightning Eastview wins section for 7th consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In tough times and close games, Eastview’s girls basketball team falls back on a simple thought: Defense doesn’t go into slumps. When the Lightning struggles to make shots, it knows it can stay in any game by making it just as tough, if not tougher, for the opponent to score. A case in point was the Class 4A, Section 3 final against Apple Valley on March 7. Eastview sputtered to 14 points in the first half – and still led by three at the break. The Lightning had just 13 baskets in the game but still pulled away for a 40-25 victory at Concordia University in St. Paul. “We had to make sure every time we didn’t score, we got a stop at the other end,” Eastview senior forward Andrea Abrams said. “And every time we got a stop, we had to score to extend our lead. Eventually we did, we had a 10-0 run (in the second half) and kept going the rest of the game.” Eastview, at 29-0, the only undefeated team in Class 4A, is likely to be a No. 1 seed in the state tournament that begins Wednesday at the Target Center. First-round matchups will be determined Saturday; if Eastview is the No. 1 seed, its state quarterfinal game would be 10 a.m. Wednesday. The Lightning is in the state tournament for the seventh consecutive year, the longest active streak in Class 4A. Junior guard Macy Guebert had 14 points and senior forward Megan Walstad scored 10 for Eastview, but the biggest factor in the game was an

Apple Valley coach Zach Goring doesn’t care for playing teams from his own conference in the postseason, but the Eagles have proven to be good at it. The Eagles have an 11game winning streak in the Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs, with six of those victories against schools from the South Suburban Conference. Victories over Rosemount (101-52) and Eagan (92-63) have put them on the verge of a fourth consecutive section championship and fifth in six years. Apple Valley will play another South Suburban rival, Eastview, in the Section 3 championship game at 7 p.m. Thursday at Farmington High School. “I’m not a fan of playing teams from your own league in the playoffs. I think they should spread us all out, but that’s a different story,” Goring said. “We’re very familiar with Eagan and Rosemount and what they’re going to do, but they’re also familiar with us. We needed to look at some stretches where they did play competitively with us and find some things we had to clean up.” Apple Valley, 24-4, has won 17 consecutive games. Eastview, 12-16 after defeating Burnsville 54-52 in the Section 3 semifinals March 9, knows what it’s getting into. “We thought coming in we wanted to get to the

We’re going to go out with one goal, to compete and play hard.” Apple Valley jumped to a 51-22 halftime lead over Eagan in the section semifinals March 9, and none of the Eagles’ starters played more than 17

minutes. Senior guard Tre Jones had 21 points and five assists in 17 minutes. Apple Valley routed Eagan twice during the regular season, but senior guard Zach Korba said the Eagles understand the danger of letting up now. “We have one goal, that’s to get to state and hopefully win it,” said Korba, who had 11 points against Eagan. “We’ve beaten them before. We just had to play our game

Apple Valley has won all 16 games since his return. “It was a big hit for us when he broke his wrist and missed those games,” Goring said. “He slides into that wing spot where he can really guard and score, and he’s a three-year starter.” Sophomore guard Jaylen James scored 16 points for Eagan, which finished 6-22.

Lakeville North is in the Class 4A, Section 1 championship game for the seventh consecutive year after defeating Lakeville South 71-49 in the semifinals March 10 at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester.

This is the sixth straight year North and JM have met in the section championship game. Lakeville North (24-4) raced to a 42-18 halftime lead over Lakeville South. Junior guard Tyler Wahl led the Panthers with 19 points. Tommy Jensen scored 11 and Tyler Lewko had 10. Senior forward Shae Mitchell had 18 points for Lakeville South, which finished 15-13 and lost all three of its games against Lakeville North this season.

BUSES, from 1A quotes from three companies. At a Feb. 22 workshop, board members narrowed the field to Durham and Schmitty and Sons. After further talks with the companies, administrators recommended Schmitty and Sons, despite its slightly higher price quote of $8.27 million in each of the two years. Durham, which has school bus operations in 31 states, came in at $8.16 WALKOUT, from 1A DFL-Eagan. Halverson said she didn’t expect to talk but wanted the students to know elected officials hear

million. Rider said the contract is about $600,000 more than anticipated — a smaller overage, Board Chair Jim Schmid noted, than the $1 million to $1.5 million estimate from previous board discussions. “That’s welcome news, actually,� Schmid said. But still “very painful,� Board Member Dan Luth added. The $600,000 is on top of $4 million in general spending cuts planned to help balance next year’s

budget, Luth said. But safety is paramount, and a new provider is “better all the way around for our students,� Luth said. The driver shortage has been a headache for at least two years. In 2016-17, Durham used two outside companies — including Schmitty and Sons — to help run eight regular-education routes, according to the district. Last year, Durham used the companies on

nearly 20 regular- and special-education routes. Lance Libengood of the Center for Efficient School Operations, which does the district’s bus routing, has advised officials that Durham, which has a limited footprint in Minnesota, would probably be unable to provide a full complement of drivers. A number of current Durham drivers may end up being hired to drive Schmitty and Sons buses in District 191, Rider sug-

The company employs more than 600 “transportation professionals� and operates more than 400 vehicles daily, Schmitty and Sons said in a March 9 news release announcing the contract. “We have a longstanding presence in the school bus industry since our company’s foundation in 1952,� Chief Operating Officer Bill Forbord said. The company said its school buses feature on-

“You guys are told 100 different ways, 100 different times a day your voice doesn’t matter, but that’s not true,� Halverson said. She encouraged students to keep talking to each other. Several signs had the word “enough,� in some form. Student speakers spoke of gun violence and the desire to feel safe in school and in their communities. There was also a moment of silence to remember those killed by gun violence. Prior to the walkout,

District 196 sent an email to families stating “While we expect that some students will join this student-led walkout, we want you to know that teaching and learning will go on and District 196 will maintain a safe and orderly environment for student learning.� Per district guidelines, “protests are not schoolsponsored activities. If students leave school during the day to protest, the district is committed to keeping the school environment focused on teaching and learning. Students

who choose to leave class to protest are expected to make up all missed work due to their absence. ... Participation in walkouts and protests is entirely voluntary. No student or adult should coerce, intimidate, degrade or bully an individual who chooses to participate or not participate in a walkout or protest.� In the guidelines, elementary students were not allowed to leave school unless they were signed out by a parent in person. Middle school students were allowed to leave

school, but were expected to stay on school grounds unless they were signed out. High school students were allowed to leave school, but the school did not provide supervision. Students who left were permitted to return for the rest of the day. Per guidelines, students who engage in disruptive behavior would be subject to discipline. Students returned to their class in silence after the 20-minute walkout.

The sound of drums echoed through the halls Sunday night at Art Works Eagan during a performance by the Minnesota Capoeira Academy. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that is over 400 years old, combining elements of self-defense, dance, music and acrobatics. It was the first performance within Art Work Eagan’s 2018 Sunday Salon Series. The Sunday Salons will happen on five Sundays throughout the year (March 11, May 6, Aug. 5, Oct. 14, and Dec. 2). The subject of subsequent salons will be a surprise. For more information, visit www.artworkseagan.org.

Thisweekend More ‘Hairspray’

Photos submitted

“Hairspray,� the 2002 romantic comedy based on John Waters’ 1988 comedy film of the same name, is being presented by The Play’s the Thing Productions at the Lakeville Area Arts Center weekends March 16-25. The multi-racial cast is from all over the Twin Cities and director Dayna Railton said they have enthusiastically embraced the early 60s styles including the intricacies of the “Beehive� hairstyle. She said the cast attended a make-up and bouffant hair-styling party to learn how to create the towering hairdo of the era. Railton said the theater group chose this show, not only for its award-winning score and lively dance numbers, but for its overall theme of inclusion, accepting people’s differences — whether it’s their looks or the color of their skin. Railton said the musical show is a bit tamer than the 1988 film, but is just as kitschy and fun. It is considered family friendly and Railton said young children will enjoy the energetic dance numbers and the colorful costumes.

Apple Valley author to speak in Rosemount The Rosemount Area Arts Council’s next Meet the Author speaker will be Apple Valley author Jeffrey Burton, who will be presenting his latest book “The Eulogist,� published in October 2017. Burton will be at the Robert Trail Library, 14395 S. Robert Trail, Rosemount on Thursday, March 22, from 6:30-8 p.m. This free event is produced as a collaboration of the Robert Trail Library and the Rosemount Area Arts Council, and has been presented monthly for the past seven years. In Burton’s latest book, FBI Special Agent Drew Cady is reluctantly drawn into investigating the assassination of a sitting United States senator. Strangely, the senator’s death is linked to a murdered Baltimore junkie with an identical method of death — a single stab wound to the heart and a typed eulogy left at the scene. As Cady deals with a professional hit man known only as the Canadian, a breakthrough Alzheimer’s drug, a misanthropic hacker, and a Mexican drug cartel, he peels back the layers of deceit and comes to realize that even the reddest of

Students have art on exhibit

Jeffrey Burton red herrings can bite. And unfortunately for all involved, the killings have just begun. Burton was born in Long Beach, California, grew up in St. Paul, and received his bachelor of arts in journalism at the University of Minnesota. Novels in Burton’s Agent Drew Cady mystery series include “The Chessman,� The Lynchpin,� and “The Eulogist.� His short stories have appeared in dozens of magazines. Burton is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, the International Association of Crime Writers, the Horror Writers Association, and MNArtists.org.
