Eagan unveils full-time Fire Department staff ‘Historic night’ as firefighters are sworn in by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville | Eagan

Eagan officially has a full-time fire staff. Fire Chief Mike Scott swore in 12 new full-time fire staff during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “It’s a rather historic night,� Scott said. “The fire department is about 55 years old and this is the first time we’ve sworn in full-time firefighters.� It includes the six new firefighters hired in 2018, and the previous six fulltime staff who were hired with the Staffing Adequately for Emergency Response grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Eagan received the federal grant in 2014. At the time, they

were temporary employees so they weren’t sworn. In 2016, the city kept the funding for the five fulltime staff, Scott said. Scott said in the last 55 years, the majority of the department was run by volunteers or paid-on-call volunteers, but Eagan, like many cities, has struggled to maintain a staffing model with all volunteers. “I don’t want to minimize how much we appreciated the volunteer paidon-call model and how much we still value that part-time model going forward,� Scott said. The city adopted a fulltime model following a staffing study and added the positions to the 2018 city budget. As of April 2, Eagan’s three fire departments will be staffed 24/7/365. All of the new full-time firefighters and the fulltime captains got their

start as a paid-on-call firefighter within the department. They include firefighter Tim Keller, who was hired September 2014. He worked in the Abbott Hospital emergency room. Firefighter Tyler Haege was hired in September 2015. He’s enrolled in the medic program. Firefighter Jason Marshall was hired in January 2015 and worked as an automation lead for Wells Fargo. Firefighter Jessica Hoffman was hired in 2014. She has degrees in biology and science, and worked in the medical field. Firefighter Matt Forse was hired in January 2004 and worked for the Rosemount Public Works Department. Firefighter Joe AhlSee FIRE, 16A

Organics recycling is all the rage in the environmental world, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota wants to be a big part of the party. One of the largest employers in Eagan is rolling out a new organics recycling initiative in all six of its buildings next month. Hundreds of employees eat lunches and use paper towels at its facilities every day. They use items that can easily be tossed into an organics recycling bin. The health insurance organization will add organics recycling containers to cafeterias, break rooms, restrooms and other central waste stations beginning April 1. “(Organics recycling) is the next revolution in recycling,� said Betsy Moran, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield Northern Plains Alliance and president & COO of ClearStone Solutions Inc. David Miller, principal consultant with community relations, said Blue

Cross Blue Shield tested out its organics recycling program in the restrooms at Yankee Place over the past year. He said they were able to divert 3,800 pounds of paper towels from the landfill. “I believe it was a success,� Miller said. “We received the resources to expand to the program to all of the locations in Eagan.� Blue Cross Blue Shield has been single-sorting its recyclables for years, but they realized there’s more they could be doing. Miller said following a waste audit a few years ago, they found that about 90 percent of the waste could be recycled in some way. “A lot of what employees were already bringing in was recyclable,� Miller said. “A lot of it is just getting it into the right containers.� While there’s a cost related to buying new bins and labels along with communicating to staff on how to recycle organics, there’s a cost savings in new waste See RECYCLE, 16A

hopes to use technology to solve social issues by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sharon Kennedy Vickers believes technology can transform lives, break down barriers and grow a diverse marketplace in Minnesota. The Eagan resident has plans to use her technical knowledge to help bring a positive, inclusive revolution. “A lot of times people think about technology, it’s just there to make our lives more convenient, but it can be deployed in a way that can alleviate despair, inequity and injustice,� Kennedy Vickers said. “I’m hoping people can see technology is a tool that can help.� She is one of 24 people who were awarded Bush Foundation Fellowships earlier this week. She was granted up to $100,000 over 12-24 months to pursue learning opportunities to help

Sharon Kennedy Vickers advance her goal of fostering technological breakthroughs in a diverse environment. Kennedy Vickers has been working in the technology field for more than 20 years. In the last five years she’s focused on how to utilize data and technology to help solve societal challenges. She was recently appointed to be chief information officer for the city of St. Paul and she’s a founder of Twin Cities chapter of Blacks in Technology. She’s also one of the organizers for “Code Switch: A Civic Hackathon,� which is a group of com-

Wilder Foundation to provide services to Lincoln Place County-owned apartment building helps young people by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The suburbs are not immune to the struggles of homelessness. Lincoln Place Apartments, which is owned by Dakota County Community Development Agency, has helped many young people come out of homelessness since 2010. The agency will have some new help starting next month. Amherst H. Wilder Foundation will take over support for the Lincoln Place Apartments, the 24-unit building of permanent supportive housing for youths ages 18-24 located at 1997 Gold Trail in Eagan, beginning April 1. Based out of St. Paul, the nonprofit social services organization specializes in helping young adults realize their full potential. Janayah Bagurusi, Wilder Foundation director of family supportive housing services, said Wilder will work to help

people build rental history while they work on mental and physical health goals. Wilder will also help clients find employment or better employment. She said homelessness is not going away in the young population. Two Wilder case workers will “work pretty intensively with 12 people each. Residents may have goals they want to reach, too. It’s pretty client driven. We try to get to know the people we’re working with and have set outcomes. We’re that accountability partner,� she said. Wilder’s goals for residents include helping them build a network of supportive peers and build a relationship within the community. The hope is that residents find a more stable and secure future. In her experience, the tenants don’t want to be there forever. “Usually after 18 to 24 months they’re ready to move on,� Bagurusi said.

The Wilder Foundation provides services for more than 1,000 families annually who are experiencing homelessness, including those at Prior Crossing in St. Paul, which provides supportive housing for youths ages 17-24. Even though Wilder is entering a suburban market, Bagurusi feels like the challenges will be the same. “People want the same things,� Bagurusi said. One challenge might be transportation. Prior Crossing is on the Green Line light rail transit system, so clients have direct access to public transportation. “Dakota County is pretty spread out,� Bagurusi said. “That might be more of a challenge in getting to employers.� Lincoln Place is relatively close to the Red Line bus terminal at Cedar Avenue. Once Wilder takes over, Bagurusi said the group plans to have community dinners and of-

Jail inmate charged with assault A Brooklyn Center man who allegedly attacked an officer at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings was charged March 6 with fourth-degree assault of a peace officer, a felony. Aziz Holmes, 23, was in jail for allegedly stealing a truck in Hastings after having been released from the jail on Jan. 28. He led officers on a 17.5-mile chase, according to a criminal complaint. The alleged assault occurred on March 3, when a correctional officer escorted Holmes back to his cell after a shower. Holmes turned around and punched the officer three to four times in the face with a closed fist, a complaint said. The officer, who was able to take

Holmes down and restrain him, suffered a facial laceration and swelling. “The women and men who work for the Dakota County sheriff are here to do a job and are not punching bags for those behind bars,� Sheriff Tim Leslie said in a March 15 news release. Holmes allegedly stole the truck at around 4 a.m. Jan. 28 after breaking into the driver’s side window and using a spare key left in the truck to start it. He allegedly led police on a chase up Highway 61 that ended after a St. Paul officer “struck the vehicle’s tires.� Holmes was charged with theft of a motor vehicle and fleeing a peace officer. — John Gessner

District 196 Budget Advisory Council will meet April 4 The District 196 Budget Advisory Council (BAC) will meet 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, at the District Office in Rosemount, 3455 153rd St. W. As always, the public is welcome to attend. Topics for the April 4 meeting include the state’s February budget forecast, the district’s updated financial plan and an update on construction projects from the 2015 bond referendum. The BAC advises the District 196

fer classes for clients. “We’ll bring in some experts like artists and we’ll have some cooking classes,� Bagurusi said. “We’ll bring in some people to help with budgeting. We don’t pretend to be the experts on everything. It depends on what the young people want. At Prior Crossing, they wanted a karaoke machine. There’s a lot of spoken word artists there. They wanted to express themselves. They had a talent show. We would do something like that if there’s interest.� The building is owned by the Dakota County CDA, which also provides property management services. Residents pay 30 percent of their income toward rent each month. They must be employed, go to school or volunteer a minimum of 20 hours a week. “Wilder’s experience at Prior Crossing is a great match for the services at Lincoln Place,� Madeline Kastler, Dakota County Social Services housing manag-

er, said in a release. “We are very excited that Wilder is expanding their services to Dakota County.� The Link, a youth services organization, will end its partnership with Lincoln Place Apartments officially when Wilder takes over. The Link didn’t submit a proposal to provide services in 2018 to the county. According to an October news release from Beth HolgerAmbrose, executive director of the The Link, The Link greatly appreciated the CDA’s commitment over the past four years to providing affordable housing to youth in need, but “the two organizations’ missions, visions, and values do not align.� For more information, visit www.dakotacda.org or www. wilder.org.

Teacher talks taking time in 191 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Negotiations on a new teacher contract have eluded settlement in District 191. The district says budget pressures and timeconsuming language items have weighed on the talks. District and union negotiators were scheduled to meet with a state mediator on Wednesday, after a prior mediation session, according to Wendy Drugge, president of the Burnsville Education Association. If settlement on a new two-year contract isn’t reached, another session is scheduled for April 11,

Drugge said. Sixty-nine percent — 246 of 355 — of union locals negotiating new contracts in Minnesota had settled as of Wednesday, according to Education Minnesota, the state teachers union. Contracts expired last June. Talks in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage have stretched well past Jan. 25, when Drugge said an estimated 300 teachers came to a School Board meeting to show impatience with the lack of progress. Responding to interview requests this week, neither side would discuss negotiations in detail. But the district said in a

statement that a proposed $4 million budget cut for 2018-19 is “making the process a little more challenging to find the agreeable middle ground.� The district also held a levy referendum in November. “The focus was on levy renewal in the fall, which delayed the process a couple of months, but the hope is to wrap things up this spring,� the district said. The talks are addressing “complex contract language issues� that take time, the district said. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

The 12-member BAC is made up of nine parents/residents and three district employees, including a teacher, support staff representative and principal representative.

Opinion Time is right to refocus on affordable housing Chances are you’ve seen it where you live or work. Homes are being built again, jobs are plentiful and new apartments are sprouting faster than many Minnesotans can remember. The housing crisis and Great Recession are assuredly over. But prosperity has helped expose and exacerbate the shortage of affordable housing. To many, including Gov. Mark Dayton, the mismatch between housing costs and too many working families’ ability to afford them is the state economy’s new crisis. The mismatch persists in the Twin Cities region and outside it, where monthly job gains sometimes exceed the metro area’s. Last December, Dayton formed the Governor’s Task Force on Housing to find solutions to the problem of more than one in four households — nearly 550,000 — spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The 30 percent figure is a widely accepted benchmark of affordability. As the task force works toward a July report, the ECM Editorial Board will publish a series examining the contours of the problem, its specific impacts on working people and senior citizens and potential remedies — which must include public incentives to bring private and nonprofit builders and housing providers into the picture. Twenty-seven percent of households are burdened by housing costs of more than 30 percent, meaning they must

ECM Editorial This is the first in a series of editorials by the ECM Editorial Board, examining affordable housing issues in Minnesota and potential solutions. skimp on other needs like food, medicine and transportation, according to the March 2017 “State of the State’s Housing” report by the Minnesota Housing Partnership, an affordable housing advocate. The number of cost-burdened households rose by 58 percent from 2000 to 2016, reports Minnesota Housing, the state’s housing finance agency. Among Minnesota’s 590,000 renter households, nearly half experience housing cost burden and nearly a quarter experience “severe” burden, with more than half of income spent on rent, MHP reports. Forty-three percent of white renter households suffered cost burden, compared with 53 percent of renters of color. “While many housing trends vary by region, renter housing cost burden is an issue in almost every county in Minnesota,” MHP reports. Incomes have not kept pace with rising housing costs. Statewide, median monthly rents rose from $815 in 2000 to $912 in 2016, while median annual incomes fell 4 percent from $38,250 to $36,766, Minnesota

Housing reports. The median renter income of $32,600 in 2015 provided $815 to spend affordably on housing compared with the fair-market rent of $924 for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. There is a housing shortage. Rental vacancy rates are 3.8 percent in the Twin Cities metro and 4.3 in greater Minnesota, both below the 5 percent that reflects a stable market. Among Minnesota’s 1.5 million homeowner households, nearly one in five experienced cost burden in 2015. That’s 20 percent higher than the average rate of cost burden in Upper Midwest states. Nearly 10 percent of Minnesota’s homeowning households spend more than half their income on housing. In the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, the growth of relatively low-wage jobs is expected to create 118,000 new openings by 2024. But among the top six in-demand occupations, only registered nurses and truck drivers will be able to afford fair-market rents for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. Senior citizens face their own challenges. More than half of renting seniors face housing cost burden along with a quarter of senior homeowners. In the Twin Cities region, more than three in five senior renters are cost burdened. “This issue is likely to grow only more urgent as the region’s senior population is expected to grow by 123 percent over the next 20 years — the largest project-

ed increase for any region in the state,” MHP said. Market forces alone don’t solve these problems. Minnesota has lost thousands of units of “naturally occurring” affordable rental housing — older units with modest rents. As rents have risen and vacancies fallen, they’ve become plums for investors to pluck, update and put back on the market at much higher rents. Strong growth among renter households with higher incomes has prodded the trend, symbolized most notably in the Twin Cities by the upscaling of the 700-unit Crossroads at Penn complex in Richfield, where many low-income renters lost their homes. Gov. Dayton’s bonding bill before the Legislature includes $100 million for affordable housing projects statewide. He says more than $5 billion in public and private investment has helped 325,000 low- and moderate-income households gain affordable housing since he took office in 2011. We hope that new investment and new approaches will become part of his legacy when he leaves office at the end of this year. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

A solid step forward in elder abuse issues by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

State officials, Gov. Mark Dayton, Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach, DFLers and Republicans announced a bipartisan plan March 13 to address serious issues that have existed in residential care facilities for the elderly. A long list of horrifying stories came out last year, telling about abuse, assault and neglect of seniors and vulnerable adults. You were probably as appalled as I was, hearing tales of beatings, humiliation, sexual assault and neglect at some privately owned nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Fortunately, many state leaders, including the governor and state legislators, were also stunned and action has been taken. There had been a backlog of 2,321 complaints in 2017 – those have been eliminated and the state departments that investigate those complaints are keeping up on the 400 or so complaints they receive each week. (Think about that – 400 complaints a week!) The proposed legislation will improve licensing rules and enforcement, as well as improve communication with family members. Hopefully these actions will go a long way to stop the perpetrators and provide accountability.

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken

The horror stories of elder abuse overshadow the many quality care facilities and dedicated employees. Anyone who has spent time in residential care facilities can see that the staff there often has very challenging situations to deal with. Many facilities are understaffed and employees have not received adequate training in dealing with the many health issues that face older people. I saw many examples of quality care when my own parents needed full-time residential services. I also learned a lot about the challenges they face every day, and admire the incredible patience the staff showed. One woman in a room down the hall from my mother would say: “Help me, help me! Why won’t anyone help me?” At first I was shocked. Then I learned she repeated her lament about every 15 minutes. The nurses and aides would stop by

to talk to her and calm her down. She’d be quiet for 10 minutes or so, then the situation would repeat. Another thing I learned as my parents went through those later stages of life was that it was difficult to identify reality. My father was lucid up to the end, but occasionally would become very concerned about the pigs getting out of the hog barn. He would urge his grandson to check on them. Dad hadn’t raised pigs for 50 years, but for him it was a vivid and real concern. A friend told me about his grandfather, who patiently waited for the school bus at the front of the nursing home every day. You’ve heard many other stories, too, such as elderly people becoming very angry and agitated to the point of physical attacks on others. My point is that the issues with elder care and potential abuse are very complicated. Many times the victim is not believed because of signs of dementia in everyday conversation. Sometimes the victim is unable to speak accurately. No doubt there are occasions when an elderly person claims abuse and it just didn’t happen – or the person is reliving something that happened decades ago. We need to adopt a slogan similar to the “believe her” movement that has accompanied the wave of sexual harass-

ment discoveries. We need to “believe them” when a senior reports some type of issue and investigate right away. But we need trained people to lead those investigations, to sort fact from fiction and act swiftly when abuse is suspected. Quality care requires accountability by everyone involved. Family should visit regularly, talk with staff and be aware of the home’s conditions. We also need to be totally aware that sometimes our elderly relatives cannot communicate. Watching for sudden changes in behavior or mood can be signs that something is wrong. Facility management must be diligent in hiring quality employees and ensuring they are properly trained and supervised. It’s also our responsibility to do what we can to ensure quality care for our elders. Someday we will be the ones needing the care and attention. I think it’s a solid step for our state’s leaders to pursue their list of changes and improvements. This is a good time to set high standards for all care facilities. I’m hoping this is one area where we truly will see bipartisan action and real results. Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers.

Letters Proud of young people To the editor: I and two friends were among the 30 or so adults who went on Wednesday, March 14, to support the walkout against gun violence at Apple Valley High School. The Apple Valley students were joined by students from Rosemount, Prior Lake and School of Environmental Studies. We were so proud of the students. It was well organized, the speakers were articulate and factbased with their message. Before I went, someone told me that high school students shouldn’t be doing this, that they didn’t really understand, that the responsibility of adults was to protect them. The

They understood that they are the future and they need to think about what their future is. Students thanked us for supporting them and one girl even gave me a hug. She said that it was frightening to think that the future was their responsibility. I told her it is an opportunity and we have to believe in hope. I was very proud of the young people.

an alarming survey that found that for the first time in a generation, the rate of youth tobacco use has risen. Though we have made tremendous progress, tobacco use still remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Minnesota. We can, and must, do more to help prevent the next generation of youth from becoming lifetime tobacco users. Tobacco 21 is a common-sense policy that is gaining momentum across the nation. If Minnesota raised the tobacco age to 21, we could prevent an estimated 30,000 Minnesota youth from becoming smokers over 15 years. Five cities in Minnesota have already passed Tobacco 21 locally, and it’s time for the state to act. Thanks to Halverson, the dream of a smoke-free generation in Minnesota is one step closer to a reality. ANGIE SCANLON Eagan

Climate choice is clear To the editor: It seems there are still a few folks left who actually believe the world’s top scientists are con men scamming us about the dangers of climate change (Climate change and choices, March 16). Fortunately, the vast majority of U.S. citizens do not subscribe to this incorrect stance

and have moved on to look for solutions. The letter writer claims that a hypothetical extra $20 per month is best spent on more urgent causes. However, losses from U.S. weather disasters last year broke the previous annual record by a whopping $100 billion. This comes to $15 per household/per week — effectively wiping out that extra charity money. Science and backyard observation tell us these ever-increasing disasters are spurred by climate change. And projections show that climate change will reduce global GDP by 20 percent. It’s happening now and the economically vulnerable are hardest hit. What could be more urgent? What about solutions to climate change? There is a market-based, economically viable option; Carbon Fee and Dividend. Fossil fuel producers would pay a steadily increasing rate per ton of CO2 extracted. The proceeds are distributed equally to citizens to offset the rising cost of dirty energy. A study by nonpartisan, highly-respected Regional Economic Models Inc. shows that, in just 20 years, this solution will reduce carbon emissions 50 percent over 1990 levels, add 2.8 million new jobs driven by a clean energy economy, and avoid 230,000 premature deaths from air pollution. Humanity is suffering

from climate change right now, while a clean energy future looks bright with promise. Our choice is crystal clear. LAUREL REGAN Apple Valley

Start with the right definitions To the editor: This newspaper’s March 16 article titled “Nationwide walkout gets local in Apple Valley” contained glaring, yet common errors about firearms. It stated that students advocated, among other things, “putting more restrictions on automatic assault weapons.” The fact is that automatic firearms, generically “machine guns,” have been restricted since the National Firearms Act of 1934, reinforced with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and even further restricted by the federal government in 1986. Additionally, the term “assault weapon” is a politically derived term that has varying definitions but is not a definition of a type of firearm. There can be no meaningful discussion of any topic if we don’t first adhere to word definitions. Otherwise we’re just speaking gibberish. KEVIN SCHLEPPENBACH Apple Valley

Community and school leadership recognized Two District 196 juniors win ExCEL Award

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota State High School League’s ExCEL Award celebrates some of the state’s finest juniors, and two local students were among the 36 out of 298 nominees to receive the 2018 award. On Saturday, March 17, Eastview High School junior Sanjana Molleti and Eagan High School junior Samuel Hauser were recognized for their participation in school activities, demonstration of leadership qualities and community volunteer work, as they accepted their awards during ceremonies at the Girls State Basketball Tournament at Target Center in Minneapolis. Molleti is a member of the speech team, captain of the debate team and a student council officer. She’s also a member of the National Honors Society, National Arts Honors Society, National Spanish Honors Society and various language clubs. Molleti is also a LINC (Leaders in Community) leader. She volunteers at the Min-

nesota Zoo as a Zooteen, where she acts as an assistant counselor. She also volunteers in the surgery lounge at Fairview, where she acts as a connection between patients and nurses. Recently, she volunteered as an assistant team manager for an elementary-level Destination Imagination team. Hauser is heavily involved in the band program. He’s a section leader in wind ensemble, jazz band, marching band and brass ensemble. He’s also been part of the pit orchestra for the school play, as well as few solo and ensemble groups. Hauser has played lacrosse since his freshman year and is part of his school’s French and Interact clubs. He does most of his volunteering through Interact Club — everything from bagging groceries around the holidays to making baby blankets. He also volunteers through Homegrown Lacrosse where he works as a camp counselor, coaches at skills clinics and helps with various events around the metro area. The newspaper asked the stu-

dents a few questions about their leadership in the community. What are your strongest leadership qualities? Molleti: I believe my strongest leadership qualities are empathy and authenticity. I always make an effort to connect with every person on my team and understand them both in and out of the activity. By understanding the reasoning behind certain behavior and ensuring no one is left out, I am able to be a more just and cooperative leader. I also believe that being authentic and leading by example is very important and Sanjana something that Moletti I exemplify. I always try to keep a positive attitude, an open mindset, and try my best. I believe that I should do everything I expect my teammates to do and show them how to do so in an effective manner. Hauser: I think my best leadership quality is my drive to improve everyone around me.

When I’m coaching or working with people in our marching band I like to focus on helping other people get better. My next best leadership quality is probably my intensity, or drive. I strongly believe that the best way to get someone to work harder is to just increase the intensity of a drill, so when people Samuel see their section Hauser leader working hard they increase their intensity as well. How do you balance your time? Molleti: I balance my time by planning ahead of time and being in constant communication with my teachers, coaches, and family. I love to use my planner and make check lists! However, even with all my best efforts sometimes it’s hard to participate in so many things, so I have had to choose the activities that are most important to me and put all my effort into those. Hauser: I’m pretty lucky to

have activities that mostly take place in different seasons. For me lacrosse is generally all year round, but in the winter when I’m busiest with other activities, there really isn’t a huge commitment. When I’m at my busiest I schedule myself fairly rigorously, with very little free time outside of weekends, and the odd night every few weeks. As long as I make a schedule for myself and set deadlines, I can get things done more effectively. Who inspires you to be a strong leader? Molleti: I am inspired to be a strong leader because of my good friend Karen Macario Gazga. She is a passionate, independent, hard worker who always puts her heart and soul into her activities and fights for what she believes in. She encourages me to go after what I consider important and to speak up and share my voice. If I’m ever nervous about doing something, her bravery gives me courage. Hauser: Aron Lipkin, my club lacrosse coach and one of the See EXCEL, 9A

Four tips to prep for tax season 2018 BY MATTHEW M. F. MILLER CTW FEATURES

If you want to make sure you’re maximizing the advantages of the new tax laws for your 2018 taxes – due April 15, 2019 – start getting your ducks in a row today. Here are four things everyone should think consider: 1. Check Your W-4 That W-4 form you filled out when you started your job may need to be given a once-over in light of the new tax bill. Given the quick turnaround between the bill being passed and then enacted, all of the details and forms aren’t quite worked out. It’s likely your company’s HR representative might not know exactly what you will need to do in order to ensure you won’t be met with a hefty tax bill come April 15, 2019, but it’s worth checking in. Recently, the IRS released it’s 2018 Tax Witholding Tables, which can help you determine if you need to adjust how much federal tax is being taken out of your check. Download the guide here: http://bit.ly/ taxtablectw 2. Recheck Your Retirement Could the new laws

affect your retirement numbers? Perhaps, so it’s a good idea to talk to your retirement planner to see what, if anything, you should change. For some, the lower tax rates could be a reason to convert a standard pretax IRA into a Roth IRA, which could save money on taxes. It could also be a good time to tap into some of your retirement

For moving expenses, there will be exceptions for those in the military, but the costs associated with relocation no longer will reduce your tax burden. Another big change? Losses sustained due to a fire, storm or theft are no longer deductible. The only way a disaster deduction can be claimed is if you have been affected by a

accounts to take advantage of the lower rates, too. Personal situations vary greatly, so work with a trusted professional to update your plan. 3. Prepare for Vanishing Deductions Alimony payments, moving expenses and tax preparation fees are a few of the high-profiles deductions that will now longer be allowed.

You now can deduct expenses up to 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. After two years, however, it will return to the previous threshold of 10 percent of adjusted gross income. Also, for those caring for an elderly parent – or an adult child with a disability – you can claim a $500 temporary credit for such dependents.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 23, 2018 9A

Pawlenty files campaign committee for Minnesota governor run AP — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Monday he created a campaign committee to run for his old job, the most concrete step yet after months of speculation whether the Republican would return to politics following his short-lived 2012 presidential campaign. Pawlenty, an Eagan resident and former state representative and City Council member serving Eagan, has been inching toward a run for months, recently quitting his Washington, D.C., lobbying job and starting to raise money for a potential bid to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. In an emailed statement from a new campaign website,

Pawlenty touted his credentials as a potential candidate while promising a final announcement soon. “As a two-term governor, I know what it takes to lead our state in the right direction at this pivotal moment in American history,� he said. Minnesota law requires candidates to register a campaign committee within 14 days of collecting $750 in donations or spending an equal amount. Pawlenty has started to raise money for a campaign, including an upcoming fundraising trip to Florida. Pawlenty told The Associated Press and other reporters just last week he was “warming up the engine� for a possible bid.

To make it official, he’ll have to file for the office with the secretary of state. He would bring unparalleled name recognition and fundraising ability to a Republican field that has struggled to raise money. But a Pawlenty reboot also comes with the political risk of his recent work. After a quick flameout in the 2012 presidential election, Pawlenty joined the Financial Services Roundtable in 2012, making more than $1 million a year while lobbying on behalf of the nation’s largest banks. On his new campaign website, Pawlenty referenced that five-year stint only as serving “as the leader of a large trade association.�

Master Recycler/Composter program The Dakota County Master Recycler/Composter program is celebrating five years of residents educating others about waste management. In total, 179 master recyclers and composters have completed a six-week course and traveled the Twin Cities on field trips to recycling and waste facilities. Participants agree to volunteer 30 hours putting their skills to work to help others learn how to reduce waste, recycle more and compost. In 2017, master recyclers reported volunteering 716 hours with 14 completing their obligatory 30 hours of volunteering. Throughout the last four years, volunteers have given more than 2,600 hours of

their time and personally spoken to 40,000 people. “Attending the MRC class, and my husband a later one, changed how we live,� said Sandy Scott of Eagan, who has given more than 200 volunteer hours. “My passion is now landfill diversion. I have always been a good recycler, but didn’t know how to move beyond that.� The program is a way to feel confident about reducing waste and to connect with like-minded neighbors. “Going through the training gave me practical, hands-on experience and the confidence to know that I can have a positive impact on our environment,� said Chris Erick-

son of Lakeville. “It has sparked hundreds of conversations with people who really want to do the right thing environmentally, but just need positive direction and encouragement.� The program’s next class will be 6:30-9 p.m. Tuesdays, April 3 to May 8, at Black Hawk Middle School, 1540 Deerwood Drive in Eagan. A $30 fee covers course materials and optional field trip transportation. Scholarships are available. Registration is on a firstcome, first-served basis. For details or to register, visit www.dakotacounty.us and search “master recycler,� or call Jenny Kedward at 952891-7043. The deadline for registration is April 1.

Medical emergency at Rosemount High A Rosemount High School teacher was injured while conducting a demonstration for students on Tuesday, March 20, during period 5. The school called 911 and the teacher was taken into medical care. At the beginning of period 6, the school made a brief announcement to students and staff.

Rosemount High School sent out an email to parents just after 1:20 p.m. that afternoon alerting them to the situation. “Please know that this was an accident,� the email said. “No students were in danger and school safety was not threatened.� Due to privacy rules, the school was unable to release any more in-

formation. The newspaper reached out to the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan District Office for comment, but was unable to connect. In its email to parents, Rosemount High School encouraged any students or staff who need support to report to the school’s counseling office.

Hauser: Receiving the ExCEL award was a pretty amazing feeling. I volunteer in my community as a way to give back, I never imagined that I would get an award for it. It just made me realize how many

opportunities I have been given to help give back, so I think it’s important for me to thank the people who got me here. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

founders of Homegrown Lacrosse. Over the last 10 months I’ve been recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus, and even though I couldn’t play he constantly reached out to me, giving me chances to volunteer, or just to see how I was doing. Aron is the kind of person I admire because he doesn’t just look at his players as just players, he sees them as family. What advice do you have for other students? Molleti: I believe that leading by example is the most important quality for a leader. Ensuring that you are passionate and willing to put yourself out there will open up new opportunities. I also believe it is important to take risks. If I hadn’t decided to simply apply for positions in my school and community, I wouldn’t be in many of the leadership roles I am in today. Hauser: If you’re looking to be put in a leadership role, find something you enjoy doing. You need to enjoy it because you should be working hard, and you want to make sure you won’t want to stop once it gets hard. My biggest piece of advice is to keep working once you earn your spot as a leader, because it will motivate those around you, and your hard work will earn other people’s respect. Tell us about receiving the award. Molleti: It was a really fun and exciting experience! I got the opportunity to meet many other amazing juniors from all over the state and to understand what other high schools were like. While I was getting the award, I couldn’t stop smiling because there was a truly great energy and sense of excitement around.

Students at Hidden Valley Elementary School did some beta testing for a new Google Expeditions app recently. The school was among a selected few asked to try out a new augmented reality mobile application (simply called “the AR app�) that is being developed as part of the Google Expeditions education product line. It’s different from the virtual reality Google Expeditions – those “glasses� that students put on to “explore� places and feel like they’re right there. The new app is about bringing visuals into the classroom, functioning similar to Pokemon Go. For example, students would use the app to view 3D renderings of the planets up close as part of a unit on the solar system. At Hidden Valley, students viewed dinosaurs, coral reefs, animals, and forces of nature including tornadoes and tsunamis. “Students are enthusiastic about technology and eager to try new things. Tools like this enhance our curriculum and the learning experience of our students,� said Jenn Carlson, the school’s digital learning specialist.

breast cancer. “I am proud to address this issue by authoring this important legislation,� said Peterson. “Early detection is imperative to successfully treating breast cancer, and 3-D mammograms have time and again proven effective in identifying cancer early when it is most treatable. By providing a more accurate test for high-risk

patients, this bill will help more women beat breast cancer and ultimately help save lives.� HF3204 was approved by the committee and was referred to the Health and Human Services Reform Committee. The senate companion bill, authored by Sen. Michelle Benson, RHam Lake, was introduced earlier in March.

Eastview’s state championship in girls basketball is the second in school history and the second in the last five years.

Flawed beginning, perfect ending Lightning completes undefeated season by rallying against Hopkins in Class 4A final by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Playing from behind was something Eastview rarely had to do in its first 31 games. It was different in Game No. 32, but the Lightning was ready. With the state championship on the line, Eastview took Hopkins’ best shot in the first half, shrugged it off and completed the first undefeated girls basketball season in school history. After falling behind by as many as 13 points in the first half, the Lightning regrouped, then rallied. It cut the margin to three points by halftime, grabbed the lead in the second half, and went on to defeat Hopkins 68-63 in the Class 4A championship game Saturday night at Target Center. “Composure” was the watchword, even from people who aren’t in the Eastview program. “They probably have the best composure of any team I’ve ever watched,” Lakeville North coach Shelly

Below, left: Mariah Alipate (23) of Eastview handles the ball out by the three-point line. Clemons said about the Lightning, which defeated North three times this season. Clemons said that a couple of hours before the Lightning took the court against Hopkins, and it almost seemed like foreshadowing. The early Hopkins surge was fueled almost entirely by sophomore guard Paige Bueckers, considered to be the state’s best player. She scored 23 points in the first half and finished with 37 on 14-for-23 shooting. That wasn’t enough against an Eastview team that shot 50 percent from the field, made 85 percent of its free throws, outrebounded Hopkins and had 15 assists to the Royals’ two. “We knew we could fight back and go on a run,” said Eastview senior forward Megan Walstad, who scored 20 points and had seven rebounds. “We just had to stay calm and composed, play our game and not do anything too crazy.” Eastview finished 32-0 and won its second Class 4A championship in five years. The team also ended a recent stretch of playoff frustration against Hopkins, which defeated the Lightning in the previous three state tournaments, including the 2015 championship game. Eastview coach Molly Kasper watched her team fall behind 25-12 in the first

half. “When you look up and Paige had 17 points and we had 14, that’s a little disheartening,” Kasper said. But, she added, she never doubted it could come back. “I don’t believe any team can stick with us for 36 minutes of passing, defense and team-first mentality,” Kasper said. “Luckily, we got a chance to continue and play a whole game, and it’s hard for teams to stay with that.” The Lightning chipped away and trailed only 33-30 at the half. Eastview took its first lead on Walstad’s jump shot early in the second half. The Lightning led for the final 7 minutes, 15 seconds but could never get comfortable. Hopkins had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds but Raena Suggs’ three-point attempt bounced off the front and back of the rim, caromed straight up and hit the rim one more time without falling. Eastview guard Emma Carpenter iced the game by making two free throws with one second remaining. “They do a lot of nice things in their half-court sets. They really execute and have five (starters) who are legit players,” Hopkins coach Brian Cosgriff said of the Lightning. “Then they came off the bench with that No. 25 (ninth-grader Cassidy

Carson) who hit that three from beyond NBA (range) that was just a dagger.” Carson, the aforementioned No. 25, made a deep three-pointer with 11:28 remaining that put Eastview up 45-44. She had 11 points and three rebounds in addition to taking on some of the responsibility for trying to contain Bueckers. “I had to guard a couple of good players, so I just tried to go out there and try to not let them score as much,” Carson said. “She had no hesitation. You saw it tonight; there’s just no hesitation. She’s ready for the stage,” Kasper said. “Her length obviously helps, with a 6-2 wingspan on a ‘little’ ninth-grader. It’s nice when you can have that coming off the bench and you’re not just relying on Megan or somebody else.” Senior forward Mariah Alipate, who sat out the 2016-17 season after having knee surgery, had 15 points and nine rebounds in the championship game. The other members of the starting five, Macy Guebert, Andrea Abrams and Carpenter, had nine, seven and six points. Moments after the state championship game, Walstad said she was still having trouble processing what just happened. “I’m, like, speechless,” she said. “We’ve been working for this for so long. For it to finally be real is just crazy. This is the greatest team I’ve ever been on. We all have a similar mindset and we’re all selfless in the way we play. It’s just so fun.” Kasper said that selflessness was in place almost from the first day of the season, reaching a point where the coach said she wasn’t nervous before any Lightning game. “Usually as a coach you’re nervous about maybe executing a game plan,” Kasper said, “but I know we’re going to play hard on defense, I know we’re going to play together, I know we’re going to make the extra pass. Other than that, what can I really control? Those are the big things you care about as a coach. To watch it all come to fruition, hopefully it will help in the future with the aspect of buy-in.” Eastview is the first South Suburban Conference team to win the state Class 4A girls basketball championship since the league started operating in fall 2010 (Lakeville North’s 2010 state championship came while the Panthers were members of the Lake Conference).

Eagles have more to do before wrapping Jones era Apple Valley pursues 4th state basketball title this week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sometime soon, people in Apple Valley boys basketball will reflect on nine years of having a member of the Jones family playing point guard for the varsity team and sparking the program to unprecedented success. But the time for nostalgia isn’t here just yet. “I’m waiting until this week is over,” Tre Jones said before practice Monday afternoon. “I’m not trying to put an ending to my high school career yet. I hope we can get three wins this week.” The Jones run at Apple Valley, which started in the 2009-10 season when Tyus Jones became the Eagles’ starting point guard as an eighth-grader, features five state tournament appear-

ances and all three of the school’s state championships (including the 2017 title). The Eagles went for a fourth Class 4A title this week, playing Forest Lake on Wednesday in a quarterfinal game at Target Center that took place after this edition went to press. The Apple ValleyForest Lake winner plays Lakeville North or Maple Grove in the semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday, also at Target Center. Tyus Jones, who was part of a national championship team in his one year at Duke University and now plays for the Timberwolves, is Apple Valley’s career leader in points and assists. Tre Jones will be second all-time in points, rebounds and assists, and holds the school’s singlegame scoring record of 48 points. Tre, also headed to Duke next season, is a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award, with the winner scheduled to be announced Wednesday, March 28. If Tre Jones is

the winner he likely won’t be there in person to accept because he has been invited to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game the same night. Both Joneses put up big offensive numbers, but Eagles coach Zach Goring said they have contributed as much, if not more, at the other end of the floor. “It comes back to Tre, and Tyus when he was here, setting the tone defensively,” Goring said. “We have very strong defenders. They understand team defense. We spend a lot of time on it.” The Eagles also understand that if their best and most highly acclaimed players put in the effort on defense, everybody else needs to do the same. “It’s worked for us in the past,” said senior guard Luke Martens, who will play college basketball at Winona State. “The second half of the season we always put in a lot of time on defense because we know it will win games at the end of the season.”

Apple Valley, 25-4 overall, has won its last 18 games, including an 84-69 victory over Eastview in the Class 4A, Section 3 championship game March 15 at Farmington High School. The Eagles say the hot streak coincided with Martens’ return from fractures in both wrists, the most recent occurring the Friday after Thanksgiving. Martens has had surgery to put screws in both wrists and said he is healthy now. “One hundred percent,” Martens said. “I was hurting for a while, but now I feel great.” Martens’ scoring average of 11.9 is second highest on the team to Jones’ 22.9, and Goring said Martens also is a tough defender, something the Eagles value in the postseason. Jones had 33 points and 10 rebounds in the section championship victory over Eastview. Senior guard Nathan Macho had 16 points, senior guard Ely Hendrickson added 11

and senior center Logan Wangerin scored eight. The Eagles held off an Eastview team that appears to have a bright future with cornerstone players Steven Crowl and Tate Machacek, both sophomores, returning next year. Crowl had 13 points, senior guard Essam Ibrahim scored 12 and Machacek added 11 for the Lightning, which finished 12-17. Apple Valley has pushed thoughts of the future into the background, at least for another week. Goring said he has 10 seniors he wants to send out with positive memories of their final high school season. “We told our guys to enjoy these last two or three practices,” Goring said. “They’re going to have a fun week down at the Target Center and even if we don’t win we have the experience of being there and making sure these guys have a full basketball season.” In 2013-14, the one

year Tyus and Tre Jones’ varsity careers overlapped, the Eagles didn’t make it to the state tournament. They were upset in overtime by Cretin-Derham Hall in the Section 3 final. CDH has since been moved to Section 4, advanced to this year’s state tourney, and is seeded first with Apple Valley second. This is Tre Jones’ fourth consecutive year at the state tournament. “We’ve had talented guys, athletic guys, but ultimately at the end of the year our focus is on our defense,” he said. “You’re not always going to hit shots, but you can control how you’re playing on defense. “In the state tournament you have to stay with what got you there, and for us that’s defense. I’ve seen other teams go away from what got them to that point, and that’s what made them lose.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Part of the solution to water pollution Landscaping for Clean Water workshops held throughout Dakota County

Landscaping for Clean Water

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sick of winter and ready to see some greenery? Dakota County is offering landscaping workshops that will inspire ideas while also benefitting the environment. The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District has partnered with four local watershed organizations — the Vermillion River Joint Powers Organization, the Black Dog Watershed Management Organization, the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization and the EaganInver Grove Heights Watershed Management Organization — to create the Landscaping for Clean Water program. Introductory workshops will be held in several Dakota County cities; the next one will occur March 27 at 6:15 p.m. in Farmington at the Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center. The workshop will introduce three types of projects to residents: native gardens, raingardens and native shoreline plantings. Presenters will discuss water resource issues and environmental issues and why these issues are important, then explain the ways people can combat these problems. After attending the introductory workshop, interested people can sign up for a twonight design course for $25. Once someone registers, they receive a book called “The Blue Thumb Guide to Raingardens,� plus maps of their property that will be used to design a project. By the end of the design class, participants will have a full-scale drawing of their project, a cost estimate and a chance to fill out a grant application form. People who qualify for the grant will receive $250 for their project. According to Joe Barten, a resource conservationist with Dakota County SWCD, some of the main environmental issues statewide are the reduction in pollinator habitat and increase in stormwater runoff. Nationwide, stormwater runoff is the No. 1 threat to

tilizer that gets put on the lawn gets washed directly into the body of water. The shoreline planting captures some of those pollutants before they go into the water, provides erosion control and provides habitat. Along with the environmental benefits, people who attend the follow-up classes appreciate that they’re part of the design process and can create something aesthetically pleasing, Barten said. “It’s your project that we are helping you design. So it’s going to fit within your property and your landscaping, and it’s going to be something that looks good on your property, too,� Barten said. The average size of a project is around 150 to 200 square feet, and the average cost is about $500, Barten said. Though the grants can be a bonus, Barten said that often the design and installation help is a bigger incentive. “They get the $250 of course if they complete the project, but what we find people really more so appreciate is the technical assistance. So we don’t want to, you know, just send them loose and say, ‘OK, well, you took the classes, now figure out how to build it.’ We meet with them onsite at their house before, during and after the installation so that they can get help,� Barten said. That assistance could involve tweaking the layout or

! "!( ! *

changing what plants are used. The SWCD also digs a test hole to make sure the soil will filtrate water properly. The county provides that guidance for a number of reasons. “One, to help the homeowners feel comfortable in doing the project. Two, to make sure it’s done correctly. And three, just to make sure that they feel like they’re not left out on their own to figure it out,� Barten said. The hope is that people get educated and take action in some way, Barten said. “It’s an opportunity for people not only to learn about water quality issues, but to actually do something about it. And then hopefully that kind of spurs them on to other initiatives and maybe even larger projects,� Barten said. Sometimes after people take the classes, they have ideas to do a similar project on a larger scale, like at a church or through a homeowner association. Barten said that there are other grant programs available for those types of projects for people who are interested. The workshops are offered to all Dakota County residents. People can register by calling 651-480-7777, emailing swcd@ co.dakota.mn.us or by visiting www.dakotaswcd.org. Contact Jody Peters at jody.peters@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville South marching band goes to Dublin Lakeville South performs in St. Patrick’s Festival Parade by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For six days the Lakeville South High School marching band experienced history, culture, excitement and a performance of a lifetime. Approximately 135 students made their way to Dublin, Ireland, to perform in one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parades. The band was one of only 11 selected from around the world to perform for more than 100,000 people and is the first marching band from Minnesota to participate. “I’ve seen things that are absolutely breathtaking, and I’ve met people that are so warm-hearted and nice. There are just welcoming people here,� drum major Cat Skindelien said. The high school musicians found out about the trip over a year ago and since then they’ve spent countless hours practicing and planning for what Skindelien said was the trip of a lifetime.

Teachers, faculty and families all came together to plan out details of trip so each student could get the most out of the adventurous days. Planning led to more than 200 Minnesotans making the trip to either perform, chaperone or support the marching band, according to director Chad Bieniek. “We’ve put a lot of time and effort into our performances. It was great to see the amount of pride people had when practicing and while preparing for these big events,� drum major Danny David said. The marching band usually performs in six to eight parades every summer in Minnesota but were excited to perform in new locations. Students not only performed in Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Festival Parade but performed on castle grounds as well as in a snowstorm for the first time. “I really loved the energy and how welcoming everyone was,� drum major Austin Albert said.

Skindelien said she has grown close with the other students in the band and has memories she will share for years to come. “My band isn’t just the people I go to school with. My band is my family. It’s people I’ve seen for the past four years and people I’ve grown up with. Making music brings people closer together. These are memories that I will treasure the rest of my life,� she said. According to Bieniek, band is not a common subject students study in Ireland and the Lakeville South students were able to feel the enthusiasm the crowd was giving them during each of their performances. “When I saw how they felt in the parade while they had hundreds of thousands of people all clapping along while they performed, it was extremely rewarding and fun to see it on their faces,� Bieniek said.

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon celebrates sixth anniversary Hard work continues to connect military members with the community by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Gathered at the sixth annual Military Appreciation Dinner at the Apple Valley American Legion were Minnesota National Guard Director of Military Outreach Annette Kuyper, Legion Cmdr. Carla Tappainer, Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, Apple Valley network president Paul Chellsen, Rosemount network president Karl Xavier III and City Council Member Tom Goodwin.

In 2005, the son of Farmington resident Annette Kuyper volunteered her to serve as the family readiness leader for the Rosemount-based Red Bulls 34th Infantry Division the night before its deployment in the Iraq War. Little did Kuyper know at the time, that passive volunteer effort started a journey that led her to create the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network in Minnesota. On Thursday, March 15, the Apple Valley network celebrated its sixth anniversary with Kuyper as a guest speaker. During her talk to former and current mili-

tary members and their families at the Apple Valley American Legion, Kuyper related that while there has been great work that’s been done in the past, there is much more that needs to be done in the future. When Kuyper’s 19-year-old son was deployed to Iraq for what would become the longest deployment by a U.S. Guard unit at the time (22 months), she saw a lack of support for the families left behind. She said she saw no system of support, as many spouses didn’t know how to carry on their daily lives with their husbands and wives overseas. Kuyper, who said she missed her son desperately, started talking with leaders in the National Guard and the University of Minnesota to see what could be done to help service members and their families during a deployment cycle. When her son came home for a two-week leave in December 2006, Kuyper was happy to have him home, but the feeling didn’t last long as it was announced Jan. 18, 2007, that the Red Bulls’ deployment would be extended. A Target executive at the time, Kuyper put her experience in putting together detailed plans into action by working with the Blue Star Mothers to create a support system for those deployed and their families, mostly focused on reintegration back into civilian society after a military deployment. She started the effort by creating a network in Farmington called the Warrior to Citizen, which eventually was changed into the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network as its reach expanded. In 2008, the first network in Minnesota was established in Farmington in large part due to Kuyper’s work. It aimed to connect veterans and their families to resources to help with reintegration and assist with household chores and community connections while a family member was deployed. Kuyper was eventually hired to coordinate the establishment of networks throughout Minnesota as the director of military outreach for the Minnesota National Guard. Not long after, she helped establish networks in Apple Valley, Rosemount and beyond. Seven years ago, Kuyper contacted Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland

and City Manager Tom Lawell about creating a network in Apple Valley. Both pledged their support to the project along with that of veteran and City Council Member Tom Goodwin. Current network president Paul Chellsen was an early board member and served as vice president to president Bruce Folken when it first started. Other charter members were Lawell, Bill Tschohl and Rich Davey. Kuyper stressed the need to make sure that more service members, veterans and their families don’t ever feel alone, and that the communities honor and recognize their service. She credited the Apple Valley network for doing great work, especially with the amazing dinner. The free dinner, which was attended by 130 people, was organized by American Legion office manager Joan Guse and general manager Linsey Green, while staffing for the event was provided by Yellow Ribbon members and Scouts from Troop 293. Dessert was prepared by the Women’s Auxiliary, Unit 1776. Other community partners were acknowledged during the dinner as helping establish and grow the network. Among those are the Legion, Apple Valley Rotary, Bogart’s Entertainment Center, Von Hanson’s Meats and the Apple Valley Police Department. Hamann-Roland said the organizations working together allows for so much more to be accomplished to help veterans. She said city residents have a history of helping each other, calling this the “City of Motherly Love.� Current network committee members are Davey, Tschohl, Lawell, vice president Jay Peterson, secretary-treasurer Glenn Sonnee, Joel Hohenstein, Dick Geiger, Curt Martinson, Tom Werner, Josh Gerving and Bill Swanstrom. The next free Military Appreciation Dinner will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19, at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Early registration is encouraged with cutoff the day before the event. Register at: 952-9235014 or yellowribbonav@ gmail.com. The dinner is open to all active military, veterans and their immediate family. Email Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com.

‘This is not being alone,’ reunited sisters find After years of separation, sisters reunite in Apple Valley Villa by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two lounge chairs sit side by side in Dorothy Ferber’s apartment. Ferber sits in one, and her sister, Suzanne Varisco, sits in the other. They spend each evening here. They eat dinner and then retire to the living room to watch a movie or a British television series. Sometimes they do activities that only one of them likes, like watching “Wheel of Fortune” or meeting up with friends to play bridge, but they do it together. For them, that’s the most important thing. After years of separation, Ferber and her younger sister, Varisco, are now living as next door neighbors in Apple Valley, in Augustana Care’s Apple Valley Villa. The sisters got along from the beginning. They grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and have many happy memories of spending weekends with their grandparents, traveling together on roundtrips with their families and singing old songs with their parents. Their mother played piano and their father sang tenor. The sisters loved singing three-

Dorothy Ferber and Suzanne Varisco sit in Ferber’s apartment in Augustana Care’s Apple Valley Villa. After years of living in different states, the sisters now live next door to each other. part harmony with their father while their mother accompanied them. “When (Sue) first came into the picture, I was crazy about her,” Ferber said. “When she became a teenager, she was a pest. When we both matured and became adult women, we became friends again.” “For me, it was like having three parents,” Varisco said. “She was kind and generous to me, although she was sometimes bossy.” Both sisters enrolled in the School of Music at Indiana University. Varisco studied piano and Ferber studied voice. The sisters were close, but soon family and jobs took them to different areas of the coun-

try. Ferber married Dan Ferber in 1950, when she was 22 years old, and soon moved to New Hampshire. They were brought closer, however, when Varisco, at age 23, married Dom Varisco in 1959 and moved to Massachusetts shortly after. The sisters were able to get together often when they lived in the New England area. As their children grew older, they made roundtrips to visit one another. In 1967, the sisters found themselves in different parts of the country once again when the Ferber family moved to Minnesota. The sisters called

going to afford Kennedy Vickers any extra time. She’s already plenty busy. What it will do is allow her to acquire skills to move her initiatives forward. “I’m committed to my work with St. Paul,” Kennedy Vickers said. “This will allow me to expand my capacity from a communications perspective and allow me to take some coursework and some executive programs to do this work on a larger scale.”

Her vision includes a Minnesota that’s known for “inclusive and diverse technology that helps improve some of our toughest social challenges.” She said she strongly believes that individuals who are experiencing some of the challenges can be part of creating the solution, “particularly in communities of color.” “I believe data and technology can be a tool that can solve challenges and improve lives,” Kennedy Vickers said.

each other and sent letters to stay in touch, and they made annual visits. It still never seemed like it was enough, but both sisters were busy working and raising children. Ferber became the Director of Foreign Student Affairs at Gustavus Adolphus College, and also served as the music director at several Lutheran churches in southern Minnesota. Later, she became the Director of Secondary Research at Ecolab in St. Paul. Varisco followed a winding career path of her own. She taught as an English instructor at Fischer College in Boston, where she served as department chair. She was a senior lecturer and director of the writing center at Salve Regina University in Newport, R. I. Some of her other past job titles include: stewardess, social welfare case worker and freelance writer and editor. Ferber came to Apple Valley Villa with her husband seven years ago. “When I was married, I lived in Eagan. We came here because it was close, very affordable and it had many of the amenities that I like,” Ferber said. That wasn’t her attitude when she first moved in. Ferber and her husband hadn’t wanted to leave

their house. Thankfully, her sister was there to help. “She came and finished my packing while I just shook,” Ferber said. “My husband didn’t want to come, so he just sat in a chair looking depressed. He did not want to be here.” As they adjusted to their new home, they grew fond of it. “I like that fact that I don’t have to cook — that might be number one,” Ferber said. “I have a housekeeper who comes every two weeks, she’s wonderful. I enjoy playing bridge here.” In 2010, after 50 years of marriage, Varisco’s husband Dom passed away. Five years later, Ferber lost her husband. They had been married for 64 years. After the deaths of their husbands, the sisters missed each other more than ever. They began traveling to see each other more frequently and staying longer during each visit. When the apartment next to Ferber’s became available during Varisco’s visit in Aug. 2017, the sisters knew this was a rare opportunity. “I told her: ‘If you’re ever going to come, now is the time,’” Ferber said. Varisco went back to Rhode Island and packed up her house. Six weeks later, on Oct. 1, 2017, she

moved in as Ferber’s nextdoor neighbor. They spend many days, and nearly every evening, together now. “We go shopping, as sisters do, or we go out for lunch or dinner,” Varisco said. “My sister has friends who don’t live in the villa and sometimes she likes to get together with them.” They attend St. Paul Chamber Orchestra concerts when the ensemble performs locally, and they have tickets to see “Jersey Boys,” “The Book of Mormon” and “Hamilton” in the Twin Cities. “It’s wonderful,” Varisco said. “Every once in a while, we’ll sit down after dinner and we’ll say: ‘Isn’t this great? Isn’t this fun?’ Just to think, we used to do it for a couple days at a time. And now we can do it every night.” It doesn’t matter what activity they are doing — the sisters are grateful for their time together. “There are two things about our time in life that stand out,” Varisco said. “The first is getting older, having less physical ability. The second is being alone, now that we are widowed. “This — this is not being alone.”

She wants to break down the barriers in communities of color. “Some may not see technology as viable to alleviate some of these problems,” Kennedy Vickers said. “Not having access to technology is a barrier. Not having access to the resources necessary to be involved in this place. There’s a lack of intention to be inclusive and having an intentional focus.” Kennedy Vickers will join the rest of the fellows on a retreat where they

will develop a plan for what they want to do during the next four years. “It will be great to have some resources and funding to be able to take the coursework that I feel can propel me to a more impactful,” Kennedy Vickers said. Kennedy Vickers was one of 751 people who applied for a 2018 Bush Fellowship. She was selected through a multi-stage process involving Bush Fellowship alumni, Bush Foundation staff and es-

tablished regional leaders. The Bush Foundation will accept applications for the 2019 Bush Fellowship beginning Aug. 7. It’s open to anyone age 24 years and older who lives in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota or one of the 23 Native nations that share the same geography.

ville has more landfill space than any city in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, according to Workman. The acres are divided between the active Burnsville Sanitary Landfill west of Interstate 35W and north of Highway 13, the inactive Freeway Landfill west of I-35W and the inactive Freeway Dump east of the freeway. Inver Grove Heights is home to the Pine Bend Landfill. Rosemount has the smaller SKB Rosemount landfill. In addition to economic development, Burnsville is applying for funding for four other projects: completion of the Lake Marion Greenway within city limits (up to $1 million), an analysis of a preferred greenway segment within the city ($50,000), assistance for businesses to build recycling enclosures ($250,000), and right-ofway purchase for Cliff Road/I-35W realignment west of the freeway. But under a full complement of requests from eligible cities, Burnsville would be eligible for only $1.2 million in grants, Workman said. If requests exceed the amount available, eligibility is apportioned based on the amount of waste each city receives in its landfills, she said. Cities with landfills face more hardship than just stifled development opportunities and foregone tax base, according to the county. Truck traffic, costlier road repairs, odor and pollution and litter are among them. Under state law, onefourth of the host fees cities collect must be used to mitigate the adverse effects and risks landfills pose. The rest can be used for any general fund purpose. In Burnsville, a total of $327,020 in host fees goes annually to repayment of the construction debt on the city-owned Ames Center.

ects from eligible cities: Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount, South St. Paul and Coates, according to Workman. The application deadline was March 16. The seven County Board members will pick the winning projects in April, Workman said. In Burnsville’s case, a winning bid could jumpstart the city’s economicdevelopment efforts. The city is poised to more aggressively court development and redevelopment through policies passed in January — one that offers businesses grants for building teardowns and renovations and one that allows the city to buy and assemble parcels of land for sale to developers. But neither is funded in the city’s Economic Development Authority levy, and the current City Council appears unlikely to approve a “huge increase” in the levy or sell bonds for the programs, EDA President and Council Member Dan Gustafson said. So Burnsville is seeking $1.2 million from the county to launch the programs. A council majority named economic development as its top priority for the grant funds at a March 13 work session. Workman said she pushed to include economic development in the mostly environmental criteria for the landfill grants. The other eligible uses range from brownfield redevelopment to parks and greenway improvements. Landfills carry environmental restrictions “that won’t go away” once the waste dumping stops, Workman said. “There are things you cannot develop on top of landfills,” Burnsville City Manager Heather Johnston said. “That makes the development or redevelopment a lot more expensive.” And that means “we may never develop properly” compared with other Contact John Gessner at cities, Gustafson said. john.gessner@ecm-inc.com With 460 acres, Burns- or 952-846-2031.

the paper. Miller said from turning off lights to installing new boilers, the company wants to live in a healthier environment. “It’s part of promoting healthy communities and doing our bit to live in a healthy environment,” Moran said. As part of this plan, Moran said they’re offering recyclable plates, silverware, bowls and cups in the cafeteria. All items along with food waste can go into the new containers. In 2014, the Minnesota Legislature signed a law that would require businesses to increase recycling and composting. The goal is to recycle and compost 75 percent of solid waste by 2030, up from 50 percent now. The new organics recycling program is part of a partnership with the Dakota County Business Recycling Incentive Plan.

management policy. Moran said any waste put in a landfill is taxed while recycling and compost is not. The recycling effort isn’t the boss coming down on their employees. “There’s been an employee-driven focus on trying to maximize recycling for years,” Moran said. “It’s a grassroots effort.” She said a large number of employees are passionate about reducing their carbon footprint. “We believe this will be a nice, intangible boost to morale,” Moran said. Moran said sustainability is another item many of its customers “care about a lot. They often ask what we’re doing.” She said there’s been an effort to reduce usage of wasteful office supplies and paper through the years.

‘Mary Poppins’ at Burnsville High School “Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical� opens Thursday, April 12, featuring music, dancing and some surprises at Burnsville High School’s Mraz Center for the Performing Arts, located at 600 E. Highway 13. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney Co. film, Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins� introduces the troubled Banks family in 1910’s England. Directed by Amy Stead, performances run 7:30 p.m. April 12-14 and 19-21, and 2:30 p.m. April 14 and 21. Narrated by Bert, a jack of all trades, the musical sets off to the streets of London to meet the Banks family. The Banks children have just driven away the last of a string of nannies with their unruly behavior. George Banks is absent too much from the family with his work at the bank, and his wife Winifred is distracted as she tries to fit into London society unsuccessfully.

Mary Poppins flies in, literally, bringing magic and whimsy along with structure and order. She takes Jane and Michael Banks on memorable and magical activities. Mary Poppins’ influence does not stop with the children but rather extends to the adults as the Banks family learns the meaning of family and that “anything can happen if you let it.� There are loads of magic and even more dancing in the production. A highlight is a tap dance scene in which Bert (played by Jon Butler), dances up one side of the proscenium, across the top of the stage, and down the other side. Besides Butler, other cast members include Kelly Solberg as Winifred, Max Taylor as George, Sofia Kemeny as Jane, Sophie Herzog as Michael, and Kaitlin Johnson as Mary Poppins. Five students from Sioux Trail Elementary will be part of the cast in honor of the Minnesota School of Excellence Award their school received this year. The entire school will be treated to a private performance, too. There has been a pretty intensive research and design area for set builders, Mark VanderWoulde and Nick Wolf. In addition, there are far more scenes needed in this show than in any other in recent years. Tickets are available online at https://burnsvillehighschool.thundertix.com/. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door; however, it is likely that some performances will be sold out. Tickets are $12 adults, $11 seniors and $10 for stu-

dents.

Crayons for Cancer’s Crayon Party Crayons for Cancer and the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America are celebrating National Crayon Day 2018 with a Crayon Party 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31, inside the Crayola Experience. At a Crayon Party, kid-safe crayon slicers are used which cut a slit in the crayon wrapper making it easier to remove. The crayons are then broken into smaller pieces and sorted by colors to prepare them for melting to make Crayons for Cancer. (There will not be melting at this event.) At the event, the nonprofit organization will give out some of its finished Crayons for Cancer in exchange for a financial donation. Donation amounts are used for the following: $5, parking pass; $8, one family meal; $15, coloring books with crayons or markers; $15, general supplies (books, magazines, activity books); $30, food pantry; $35, sibling play; $35, pet therapy; $40, Family Resource Center, one hour of service; $70, social work; $75, one hour of chaplaincy. In Minnesota, Crayons for Cancer raises funds for the Cancer Kids Fund at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. More information is at crayonsforcancer.org.

from across Minnesota and beyond will gather on Saturday, March 24, at the Rosemount Steeple Center for workshops, conversation and much more. Author and humorist Lorna Landvik will be the event’s keynote speaker. The Minnesota writer has specialized in quirky characters with Scandanvian heritage since she released her first book in 23 years ago. Landvik said she will talk about what inspires her as a writer, the writing process and her road to getting published during the breakfast session from 9-10 a.m. “I like to try to edify and entertain,� she said. “I like to talk about how there is no right way to write.� The Author Fair will

Lorna Landvik include authors spanning nearly every genre of writing, including those in the areas of mystery, comedy, children’s, history and more.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 23, 2018 21A

Zoo introduces two new Amur tigers The Minnesota Zoo recently welcomed two new female Amur tigers to the 485-acre campus. The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto, from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Both tigers can be seen in Tiger Lair along the outdoor Northern Trail. Zookeepers have been working behind the scenes to successfully create companionship between the two young tigers. “Both females are getting along really well,� says Trista Fischer, Northern Trail assistant curator. “Callisto’s mellow personality has benefited Aurora, as she has become a calmer, more confident cat. These two like to spend their days chasing each other through the snow and snuggling up in the front window of our Tiger Lair. For these girls, there is no better enrichment than a good buddy.� The zoo is currently home to five endangered Amur tigers. “The Minnesota Zoo serves as a leader in wildlife conservation around the world and is home to the Tiger Species Survival Plan,� says Dr. Tara Harris, vice president for conservation and Tiger SSP coordinator. “Aurora and Calisto, along with the other Amur tigers at the Minnesota Zoo, are aweinspiring ambassadors for their endangered wild counterparts. It’s our mission to create those invaluable connections between animals and our guests, to inspire people to care, learn more, and act to save wildlife.� The largest of all cats, the Amur tiger is a top predator of far eastern Asia. Its thick fur protects it against the extreme cold and icy winds of winter, while its stripes help render it invisible to prey. Amur tigers are carnivores, eating mostly large mammals such as deer and wild boar. They will travel over extensive forest territories in search of food. With its stealth, speed, and sheer strength, the Amur tiger is well-suited to its role as a hunter. Poaching of the tigers themselves and their prey is the primary threat to the Amur tiger’s survival. Due to conservation efforts, Amur tiger numbers have increased from as low as 20 or 30 around 1940 to approximately 500 today. Through the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign, the Minnesota Zoo supports efforts to improve anti-poaching patrols in the Russian Far East and to close old logging roads in order to prevent poacher access.

Photos from Minnesota Zoo

The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto (also above), from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Coordinated by Minnesota Zoo staff since its initiation in 2012, the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign and its supporters have raised nearly $1 million for on-the-ground projects that are helping save wild tigers. The public can learn about and contribute to these efforts by visiting tigercampaign.org and facebook.com/tiger-

campaign. The Minnesota Zoo is also one of 15 coalition members that comprise the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (altaconservation.org). These coalition members pool their resources to help support conservation efforts for wild Amur tigers and leopards. Funds contributed by the Minnesota

Zoo have helped monitor wild populations of these highly-endangered cats in the Russian Far East. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org. The zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and an institutional member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
