The buzz is brewing for Union 32 Crafthouse coming to northeastern Eagan. The brewpub put a “coming soon� sign on its future home last week at 2864 Highway 55 in Eagan. Minnesota will be heavily represented at Union 32 Crafthouse, hence the name. Minnesota was the 32nd state to join the union.

They’ll be serving craft beers, wines, ciders and spirits from the land of 10,000 lakes. “We’re celebrating all the crafts of Minnesota,� owner Dan Redpath said. Patrons will receive their beer in a unique way as well. The Minnesota brews will be available along a 32-tap, self-pour wall. When customers arrive, if they want a beer, they’re carded, and then set up an account to receive a prepaid card, which allows access to the taps. “You have to put a card in the slot for beer to come out of the taps,� Redpath said. “You pay by the

ounce, so if you want to try one and pour a few ounces before you make a choice, you can.� There will be an employee manning the taps to answer questions and to make sure they’re being used appropriately. They got the idea from places in San Diego, Chicago, Portland and Denver. “Nobody is doing the self-pour beer wall in the Twin Cities,� Redpath said. “Because we’re celebrating the craft of Minnesota, we’re getting a great response so far from brewers Photo by Andy Rogers and distilleries.

More training needed

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

From honor students to members of immigrant families, some kids worry — and their numbers have grown in Burnsville-EaganSavage School District 191. According to the 2016 Minnesota Student Survey, the number of students who said they worry a lot rose from 24 to 30 percent among boys and from 35 to 43 percent among girls since the last survey in 2013. “Those are significant jumps,� though the numbers are similar to state averages, Assistant Superintendent Cyndi Amoroso told the School Board at an April 27 workshop. “Those are high jumps for this survey, and something that we really need to be paying attention to.� The survey asks frank questions about topics such as sexual health, school safety and chemical use. District 191’s results showed areas of improvement since the last survey and areas of concern, Amoroso said. The survey is administered statewide to students in the fifth, eighth, ninth and 11th grades (though fifth-graders don’t get all the questions older students do, Amoroso said). Parents can opt their children out of the survey. The results have implications for health curriculum planning, school staffing and intervention programs, said Amoroso, who spotlighted several data points.

The ECM Editorial Board says improved training in de-escalating a serious situation will be better for the officers, suspects and the public. Page 4A

Building cultural proficiency in District 191 schools is a work in progress — and while there’s been progress, educators say, more work remains. The process began in 2014 and isn’t likely to take sustainable hold until 2020, Stacie Stanley, director of curriculum, instruction and support services, told the School Board on April 27. Charged with leading the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district’s work to build a culturally proficient school system, Stanley took measure in 2014 of where the district stood. Based on staff surveys, student and family focus groups, principal

She was referring to an April 27 report to the board by Burnsville Youth for Cultural Awareness, a Burnsville High School student panel that participated in Reimagine Minnesota, a statewide school integration and equity effort. At BHS, which has more than 50 percent students of color, the panel reported some discouraging outcomes, including: –Students of color are placed in lower-level classes based on assumptions about their intelligence. –It’s easier for students of color to get into trouble because they’re held accountable for behaviors other students get “a pass� for.

interviews and crunching of test and other data, Stanley found unequal outcomes. There were learning gaps between student groups. Diverse student groups were overrepresented in intervention programs and the district’s alternative high school. Some of the linguistically, culturally and ethnically diverse groups had subpar graduation rates. And diverse groups were underrepresented in College in the Schools enrollment, Postsecondary Enrollment Options and STEM courses, Stanley said. “Some groups of students were experiencing school differently as evidenced by student reporting and focus groups and listening sessions, and as we heard from members of the culturally proficient youth squad

With spring in full form, there are many cyclists back on the road in the south metro. All of them, particularly Eagan’s Bryan Joas, would appreciate if motorists would keep an eye out for them. Joas was riding home last March when he was hit by a vehicle in Eureka Township and spent several months in the hospital. His wife Shauna Joas is organizing an event to honor bicyclists killed ¨[AÂ˜Â˜Ăś $Ă´ÂŁne I $¡nĂ?AĂ?ne

Bikers will have the option of two different routes. There will be a five-mile family ride along paths around Pilot Knob, Diffley and Wescott roads. “It’s more for families to do it together,� Shauna Joas said. “Hopefully people will see a big group on the path and think about (cyclist safety).� There will also be an 11.25-mile ride on the roads, led by Kenneth See RIDE, 16A

ACLU-MN files lawsuit to contend DNA collection Dakota County officials say they will vigorously defend their actions in court Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom and Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie received a legal challenge Monday by ACLU-Minnesota on behalf of John David Emerson, of Rosemount, concerning the collection of DNA from suspects who have been arrested for and charged with certain crimes of violence under Minnesota law. Backstrom and Leslie indicated their intent to vigorously defend the 2005 law in court, according to a news release. “This is an important law which aids in the identification of individuals arrested for serious felonies who are housed within our jails and who are released back into our communities pending resolution of their criminal charges,� Leslie said. “The United States Supreme Court has ruled that statues similar to Minnesota’s which authorize the collection of DNA from suspects who have been arrested and charged with crimes of violence are constitutional,� Backstrom said. “This decision in my opinion overruled the 2006 Minnesota Court of Appeals deci-

sion finding Minnesota’s statute mandating this collection unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Contrary to the contention of ACLU-MN, we also do not believe this important statute is in violation of Minnesota’s constitutional protections.� The ACLU says it is suing to prevent Emerson from being forced to undergo an unreasonable DNA search. “If Sheriff Leslie gets his wish, our client’s genetic information, along with that of many others, will be dumped into a government database, even if he is never convicted of any crime,� said John Gordon, ACLU-MN interim legal director, in a press release. “Our DNA is our most personal information. Adding it to law enforcement databases violates our privacy, encourages intrusive government surveillance, blurs the line between guilt and innocence, and makes us more vulnerable to hacking and identity theft. Extracting DNA from people who are presumed innocent threatens our Constitution and our freedom.�

The issue traces its path to 2005 when the Minnesota Legislature enacted a law that requires some law enforcement agencies to collect biological specimens for purposes of DNA analysis from adults or juveniles who have appeared in court after having had a judicial probable cause determination on a charge of committing murder, manslaughter, assault, robbery, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, criminal sexual conduct, incest, burglary or indecent exposure. During the case against Emerson, then 68 of Rosemount, who was charged with seconddegree assault after a road rage incident on Jan. 15, 2016, probable cause was determined, which would have allowed the Sheriff’s Office to collect the DNA under Minnesota Statutes Section 299C.105. Emerson’s attorney claimed the DNA collection was unconstitutional based on the Fourth Amendment, and the Dakota County District Court judge issued an order to prohibit the DNA collection.

After this ruling, the collection of DNA samples from adults or juveniles charged with these specified crimes ceased throughout Minnesota. After a review of previous case law, Backstrom used a June 3, 2013, U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Maryland v. King in an attempt to overrule the Court of Appeals decision. In Maryland v. King the Supreme Court declared a statute which is substantially similar to the 2005 Minnesota law constitutional under the Fourth Amendment. In a June 10, 2015, legal memorandum Backstrom concluded that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Maryland v. King overruled the Minnesota Court of Appeals’ decision in Emerson’s case and that the 2005 statute, which was never repealed by the Legislature, must be complied with by the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on Jan. 11 in favor of the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office issuing a writ of prohibition that overturned a district

Former Burnsville High School teacher violates condition of release after posting bail A former Burnsville High School choir director turned himself in to the Dakota County Jail on Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest upon discovery of a violation of a condition of his release, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. Erik Michael Akervik, 29, of Burnsville, is in custody as he awaits a Thursday court appearance related to the violation of his release on April 12 charges of felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct and electronic solicitation of a child. Burnsville police learned on April 26 that Akervik contacted a 15-year-old male on Instagram and asked the boy to “follow� him on the social media website. Akervik, who posted $100,000 bail after his first appearance in court April 12, was to have no contact with minors under age 18 as a condition of his release. The 15-year-old was known to Aker-

vik through Akervik’s work as a choir director at a Minneapolis church. Akervik is slated to appear in court May 11 to face the charges related to allegations he had sex with a 16-year-old student and sent nude photos of himself to another student. On April 10, a 15-year-old male student told a BHS school resource officer that Akervik had sent him sexually inappropriate communications, according to the criminal complaint. The student said Akervik had added him as a friend on several social media apps and websites about a year before. Akervik had been communicating with the boy via Snapchat about three weeks before the boy spoke with the officer. Akervik allegedly sent a message saying, “I’d like to get to know you closer and better.� Over two or three days of online conversation, the boy received nude photos from Akervik.

During their online conversation, Akervik allegedly admitted to “taking the virginity of a 15- or 16-year-old� and made comments leading to possible identification of the male student, also from BHS. Police contacted the boy, who told them Akervik had invited him to his Burnsville apartment in December 2016. As the two were watching TV, Akervik allegedly started kissing the 16-yearold and engaged in sex with him. Third-degree criminal sexual conduct is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The electronic solicitation charge is punishable by up to three years. Akervik had been a BHS music teacher since August 2013 until his resignation last week. The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board approved the resignation April 27 along with routine personnel actions. The resignation was effective April 20. — John Gessner

court action in January 2016 that prevented Dakota County from collecting DNA samples. Based on this decision, the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office reinstituted collection of DNA samples. The ACLU contends that Maryland v. King did not overrule the Court of Appeals decision. The ACLU said even if the sheriff’s practice were permitted by the Fourth Amendment, it still violates Minnesota’s Bill of Rights, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. Dakota County noted in its release that Emerson had previously challenged the practices of the Dakota County Sheriff in connection with his criminal case in the Minnesota Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that there was no ability for Emerson to challenge the sheriff’s practices through the criminal process, but declined at that time to rule on the question regarding the constitutionality of Minnesota’s law, according to Dakota County. — Tad Johnson

Pedestrian killed in I-35W crash A woman was fatally struck by a vehicle last week after she walked onto Interstate 35W in Burnsville. Laura Lucille Lavine, 60, of Faribault, walked into the traffic lanes of I-35W near Highway 13 about 2:45 a.m. Thursday, April 27, where she was struck by a northbound Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The driver of the Jeep — Laura Lee Koeppl, 40, of Burnsville — was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Her injuries, if any, were not documented in the State Patrol incident report. Road conditions were wet when the crash occurred. Alcohol was involved in the incident, the State Patrol said.

Opinion Escalating demands on police require additional training The shooting of Philando Castile last summer in Falcon Heights by St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez was one of a record number of fatal shootings involving police officers in Minnesota in 2016. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reports that 13 people were killed by police officers in 2016. Since 1995, officers in Minnesota have killed at least 151 people, according to an analysis by the BCA and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. This coincides with the increasing number of assaults on the police. The BCA has recorded 300 assaults on officers since 2011. The Minnesota Crime Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has recorded a sharp increase in assaults officers, particularly punches or kicks. The bureau’s data shows from 2008 to 2010 the number of assaults on police averaged 252 annually resulting in 81 personal injuries. From 2013 to 2015, the number of assaults on police averaged 405 annually including 194 personal injuries. To be sure many officers never fire a shot at anyone during their entire ca-

ECM Editorial reers, according to James Densley, criminal justice professor at the Metropolitan State University. Some experts, including law enforcement officials agree, however, that officers could be trained better to handle difficult situations, and that more minority police officers are needed. A bill authored by Rep. Tony Cornish, under consideration by the Minnesota Legislature would have the state spend $16.5 million to improve officer training. The funds would be administered by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officers and Training, with the money to go to local governments for police training. We support that legislation and urge the Legislature to pass it and Gov. Mark Dayton to sign it. The governor told members of the ECM Publishers Editorial Board that if the Legislature passes the bill as expected, he will sign it. Dennis Flaherty, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, says he welcomes the

bill. It would require officers to be better trained for handling cases involving minority persons and the mentally ill. If the bill were to pass, all officers would be required to take 16 hours of training in crisis intervention and mental illness, and conflict management during the threeyear licensing cycle to keep their license. In addition, Cornish’s bill provides $1 million each year of the 2018-19 biennium to entice minority members to leave their professions and become law enforcement officers through a Pathway to Policing program for reimbursement grants to local units of government. Critics could argue that officers already are required to meet state standards set by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officers Standards and Training. A would-be police officer must complete an educational program and pass a state board exam. The officers become licensed when they are hired by a law enforcement department. This state board requires the officer to train once a year in the use of force and every five years in emergency pursuit training. In addition, the officer must complete 48 hours of

continuing education every three years. The officer, however, can choose which continuing education courses to take. For example, officer Yanez took a seminar called “The Bulletproof Warrior” that, according to the course description, urged the law enforcement officer to make the decision to shoot if the officer felt their life was threatened. While the current training requirements of the Minnesota Board of Peace Officers Standards and Training have been sufficient for years past when relationships between the police and minority communities weren’t as tense as they are today, more up-to-date training is required. The Cornish bill has the support of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association. We agree that improved training in de-escalating a serious situation will be better for the officer, the suspect and the public. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

Letters Thank you, John Kline To the editor: This is a very belated “thank you” to U.S. Rep. John Kline for his 14 years of devoted service to the citizens of Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District. Kline did so with unerring honesty, dignity and uncompromising honor. How fortunate we were to have a man of his astute stature to represent us in Congress. At the same time, I wish the best to our duly elected U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis that he may continue to represent the conservative values in the district as did Mr. Kline. I deplore the recent uncivil attacks on Mr. Lewis by the socialistic left-wing covens of the district. It seems these folks will do anything to denigrate any elected official who wishes to “make America great again.”

imately 13 million women could lose maternity or mental health coverage all together. Congress is also proposing to eliminate the Essential Health Benefits coverage standards, which means that insurance companies would no longer be required to even cover things like maternity care, prescription drugs, and mental health. As if eliminating these requirements isn’t enough, the AHCA would block patients from getting preventative care like birth control or cancer screenings from Planned Parenthood health centers. Planned Parenthood serves a critical role for both men and women in Minnesota. Losing access to these clinics would be a health care disaster. It is absolutely imperative that Lewis oppose this latest outrageous proposal. For some, this is a matter of life and death.

Health care proposal is outrageous

Don’t put anti-poverty programs at risk

To the editor: Like a lot of Americans, I’m very concerned about the changes proposed to our country’s health care system through the American Health Care Act, or AHCA. It’s frustrating that this proposed change would uproot important coverage that many people desperately depend on. I am urging U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis to reject this extreme proposal that undermines the guaranteed health benefits that insurance companies should provide. The AHCA would allow insurance companies to discriminate against women by charging insane prices for insurance, just because a woman had a pre-existing condition, even a previous pregnancy or if they were a survivor of domestic violence. One study shows this could cost a woman who has previously been pregnant more than $17,000 per year for coverage. Approx-

To the editor: Lakeville’s City Administrator Justin Miller expressed his interest in providing a friendly tax environment for the expansion of a liquor store in that city’s growing business base (Sun Thisweek, April 27). Taxes are on a lot of people’s minds these days, from individual citizens to the president. It’s uncertain how local representatives, including U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, feel about proposals for tax reform from the president and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. Both their plans would cost trillions of dollars and provide the top 1 percent and large corporations a huge tax cut, while middle class and low-income Americans would see little or nothing. This would increase wealth inequality here and in the rest of the state and country and further widen

the racial wealth gap, a concern for the economy here in the 2nd District. The recent health care bill that stalled in Congress actually proposed a huge tax cut for the wealthy and big corporations. Now Congress is working on reform of the tax code itself. Leaders in Congress are apparently willing to pay for these tax breaks with massive cuts to core anti-poverty programs such as food stamps and Medicaid. We can tell our legislators, here and in Washington, that any tax reform plan can be revenue neutral, address wealth inequality, and protect anti-poverty programs. Tax reform need not put antipoverty programs at risk. GREG STUTZMAN Burnsville

Help ALS sufferers To the editor: I am writing on behalf of more than 200 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that I have cared for as a registered dietitian. ALS is a horrific disease with a life expectancy of three to five years. Individuals with the disease begin with normal function. Over the course of the disease they lose these abilities and ultimately die from malnutrition or shortness of breath. While the ALS research community works to slow disease progression and find a cure, I am asking our state lawmakers to do their part to help these patients and their families by supporting palliative care in Minnesota. Palliative care is coordinated, supportive care for people who are facing a life-altering diagnosis. These conditions may include cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, pediatric conditions such as genetic and neurological disorders, and many more.

The problem is there are not enough practicing health care professionals trained in palliative care, not enough palliative care programs in Minnesota, and a lack of educational resources for medical professionals, patients, and families. Funding for a palliative care advisory committee is currently in the budget to begin to address those issues, and I hope we will see that funding become a reality. I’m asking Gov. Dayton and the Legislature to please make sure palliative care legislation is adopted before the end of session.

Wanting answers on Russia and the 2016 election To the editor: In response to Richard Iffert’s letter: I was not a member of the group who met U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis. Russia’s interference into our election was only one of the issues discussed. Lewis claimed no one in our district was interested in the subject, clearly forgetting the letter he sent me. I understand Mr. Iffert is not concerned about this issue, citing lack of evidence. But there is suspicion based on good intelligence. FBI Director James Comey has confirmed an investigation of Russia’s influence on the 2016 U.S. election, including any links between Moscow and Trump campaign officials. On Nov. 18, U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence’s office (and entered it into the office House record), spelling out the financial arrangements Michael Flynn had with Turkey. That means Flynn was appointed national security adviser even though Pence (he led the transition team) knew Flynn was taking Turkish money. Flynn is the subject of an FBI investigation and separately an investigation by the Pentagon for payments he received from a Russian state-backed television network. Paul Manafort, who served as Trump’s campaign chairman, has denied he took money from

pro-Russian groups. But, a handwritten ledger has surfaced in Ukraine with $1.2 million in payments listed next to Manafort’s name. Manafort is under scrutiny as part of the congressional and FBI investigation into possible contacts between Trump associates and Russia. Last summer the FBI obtained a warrant to monitor the president’s former campaign adviser, Carter Page, on suspicions he engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of Moscow. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the probe into Russian interference in the election following revelations of false claims during his confirmation hearings that he did not meet with anyone representing Russia. If the FBI, the Pentagon, the Justice Department, and two congressional committees believe there is cause for their investigations, so do I. Every member of Congress should be paying attention and ready to talk about it with any citizen who expressed concern. I am requesting Lewis hold a town hall so he can hear what concerns his constituents. NIKA DAVIES Apple Valley

A time to act To the editor: If ever there was a time to get involved and make your voice heard, it is now. Many changes are taking place in state and national government that affect all of our lives. Efforts to gut the EPA, weaken environmental laws, and pull out of our commitments to the Paris Climate Agreement jeopardize the well being of our children and grandchildren and are shortsighted and powered by greed. Thousands of Minnesotans marched for peer reviewed science and action on climate change these past two weekends. We must demand our government work for us, the people, not the Koch Brothers, or multinational industry executives who reap huge profits while plundering our planet. Changes to health care, education funding, mass transit funding, rights to protest, rights to organize, and women’s rights all take us back to the dark ages. One of the best ways to make your voice heard is to join a local group that shares your values. On Saturday, May 6, from 9-11 a.m. the 2nd District is hosting a Progressive Action Fair at Falcon Ridge Middle School with guest speaker U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison. Come and find a group to join. We will have representatives from over 20 organizations including Stand Up, Indivisible, Organizing for Action, DFL Environmental Caucus and many more as well as information on 2018 candidates for governor. The 2nd District convention will follow at 11 a.m. with election of officers. Please visit the 2nd District website for more information or to pre-register. Take action now!

To the editor: I have spent my career educating Dakota County residents about drinking water. As someone who cares deeply about our water resources, I would like to invite the community to an event Saturday, May 6. Conservation Minnesota will host a forum focused on water in Dakota County. Dakota County Water Forum: A Clean Water Strategy will highlight work that has been done throughout the county to clean up and ensure that we have safe and pristine water here for all to enjoy. The forum will take place at the Eagan Community Center, 1501 Central Parkway, on Saturday, May 6, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Doors will open at 8:45 a.m. with free continental breakfast, networking, and information from local organizations. Following this, we will hear from many Dakota County experts about the successes they’ve had in protecting or enhancing VEDA KANITZ our water resources. After Lakeville

International student from Tunisia makes truce with herself by Meriam Chebli

Guest Columnist

SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

My name is Meriam ‌ I am a 20-year old Tunisian girl. A tired soul with shortdark hair and brown eyes. I was born in a small town near the Libyan Desert called Tataouine ‌ a harsh place invaded by ISIS, where a girl is either a sex slave, or simply an unproductive, desperate human being. I always thought that I was going to end up dead either by getting beaten up, or by committing suicide. Life stopped the moment I realized that I was a prisoner of an extremist religious family, a harsh judgmental Islamic culture, a third-world country and a careless government. But no more worries, because today I woke up in my double-bed, sunshine was coming through my big window and I could smell spring in my green back yard; located in my burgundy home in Eagan. I used to believe that I suffer from rumination, which is a kind of excessive thinking that results in stress and anxiety. I have repetitive thoughts going in and out of my mind, basically, all day long. From the moment I wake up, it just keep happening; when I am sitting in class, when I am talking to someone, when I am eating a sandwich, when I am taking a shower, even when I am kissing somebody or having a group meeting, it is too strong to be distracted from it. I can’t forget, and I kind of forgive myself now for not being able to; maybe that’s why I am still functioning and looking like any other normal 20-yearold girl. I feel sorry and angry because God, or whatever is running this life, had to teach me a lesson in the most savage, unbearable way ever. I am mad because I didn’t get to choose myself, my family or my country. I am mad because I didn’t enjoy my childhood, and because I had to wake up for 20 years, feeling disgusted from being sexually harassed, physically harmed and emotionally manipulated. However, I can’t stop or give up now. I made it to the other half of the world; strong and proud. Today, you will get to know me through this essay. I am invincible, a rebel, and a girl who was supposed to join ISIS and be forced for an arranged marriage. Too bad, their plans got crashed because I was different, still different and will always be different. Thursday, the 24th of November 2016, I was sitting in the waiting room for my first mental health appointment ever. I never thought I would be meeting a psychologist ever in my life; we didn’t even have a hospital back in that sad place, were I was born. Her name was Sarah, the psychologist, a blond blueeyed pretty woman who welcomed me to her office with a big smile. She asked me if I wanted a cup of tea, water or anything and I told her that I was fine, I was only there because my school program’s advisor thinks that I am suicidal,

or something like that. Sarah kept looking in my eyes for more than two minutes trying to get me to smile at her, but I really wasn’t in the mood that time. I mean do you really think a psychologist can erase 20 years of a savage desert life, spent in one of the most corrupted thirdworld countries, around the most miserable people you can ever meet? Do you actually think a psychologist can help me forget who I am, so I can start over like a new-born baby? I respect all the hanging diplomas Sarah had in her office, but there is no power on Earth that can change my name, my birth certificate or my passport color. Sarah told me that she had no limits; that I can start telling her whatever I want whenever I want. I stared at the walls and I had a sudden explosion of thoughts and memories; the feeling was so unhappy that I felt tired before even spitting out my first word for her. I looked down then I naively smiled at her and told her: “There isn’t something really worth talking about; I just need to sleep more and adjust my diet, can you prescribe some sleeping pills for me? I bet I will be OK by next week.â€? She laughed in a cute way like she knew I was just trying to get rid of her, and then she gave me that “you are not going anywhereâ€? look. I was sitting there thinking about how much I lost and how much tired I was; but there was a funny, relaxing feeling ‌ because I knew that I was safe, and that I was having my first mental health treatment ever. Sarah quickly cut my deep thought and asked me how is school going and how am I dealing with my professors? I told her that Saint Catherine is amazing and that the professors are so kind and hard-working. I wish I didn’t stop there, because while talking about my good-looking cheerful American professors, I remembered a face ‌ my fifth-grade teacher in primary school, even though it looked like an isolated island filled with dust and hatred, not a school. She still comes in my nightmares; God knows what she was like. Her facial expressions; that I can never forget, were filled with grudge. Because of her, I grew up thinking a teacher is a monster who is allowed to beat me up and insult me for any trivial mistake. She expected me to be academically perfect, which I now find it as a stupid expectation. How could she punish me for not being a smart kid, in her ugly abandoned classroom with its terrible smell? In that school, with its limited or rather missing resources, and with that uncreative, unethical school curriculum. Education in such circumstances becomes one of the most dangerous assets you can get; when teachers become daily nightmares, and books are a source of ignorance.

The way our country ignored us have tarnished our humanity and our ability to love each other. Even a school that is supposed to be a child’s safe haven, felt like a scourge. I don’t think I was ready to be smart by then, not for that teacher at least. Looking at every professor at St. Catherine, smiling good morning every day, feels good and bad at the same time; I feel good because I realize I am safe and better off now, and I feel bad because my childhood was wasted, and because I don’t own even one happy moment from my schooling experience in Tunisia, except meeting my soulmate and best friend, Asma. Which dragged me to another sad thought ‌ how many pure and wonderful people like Asma should be buried and denied from a joyful life until those countries realize the crime they are making against their people? She is a tiny kind creature, who is filled with love and goodness despite the bitter of life she has. I haven’t held any other person’s hand but hers since I was only 5 years old until my 20s. I let go when I traveled to the U.S.; something tells me I will never hold that hand again. Now I know that the great burden I carried in that place was incredibly unbearable that I had to give up my Asma, leave her on her own, to escape it. I kept going back and forth with my thoughts while Sarah didn’t give up trying to make me communicate with her. Of course, after my mind got tired from recalling the past and analyzing it, it was time for that existential question: Does God really exists? And why me? Sarah said she saw clinical depression’s symptoms when I talked to her. I am glad she didn’t see something worse than that; I have always believed that transferring my depressing feelings to someone by telling past incidents is evil; because the person will end up feeling sad and uncomfortable. One of the stupid reasons why I have been bearing so much tragic weight on my own for years is wishing the utmost best for others but not for myself; I haven’t even celebrated my 20th birthday yet, and I feel like I have missed a lot. I tried to let Sarah feel like she was doing a great job, even though I was dying to shed the tears I was holding inside me and scream to her how angry and disappointed I was that day. “How is your mother?â€? Sarah asked. I was about to ask her back “which one of them?â€? but I quickly analyzed my silly question and estimated of course she meant my real mother. I try to avoid thinking about that mother; a broken, kind French lady who I will probably never hug or kiss her forehead again. That moment I imagined the picture of my mother smiling at me. I still can’t get over the last time I saw her; she got me to the airport in a taxi and ran with me to the gate, she gave me a hundred-

dollar box that she converted out of five-hundred Tunisian dinars the day before. I can’t describe how irritating it is to know that your mother worked all month for those five-hundred dinars, so that eventually they are worth only one hundred-dollars or less. Even our country’s currency was always there to remind us how weak we were, and how useless our government was. Mother kissed me goodbye then looked me in the eyes and said: “Don’t come back, not for anyone; never look back to what used to oppress you.� My mother is an example of a humble rural woman who cooks the most delicious dishes; who have nothing to give to her children but prayers, and blessings. I freezed my mother’s smile in my mind and answered Sarah with a sigh: “She is fine, she is so proud of me because of what I have accomplished.� I looked up, closed my eyes and I knew I had to keep telling her something: “I have an American mother now, her name is Gladys, and I love her so much.� After I told Sarah that, I wondered whether the look on her face was impression or confusion. She asked me about what I meant exactly and how can such things happen; I told her it is a human miracle strangely happened in such a selfish world, but simply, a purehearted American mom just adopted her 20-year-old Tunisian daughter. Isn’t that amazing? Or maybe it is sad! I don’t know. It is not just that, the contradictions and the nonsense that I have been experiencing for the last five months in my life, feels like the tragedy of the Titanic or the hardship of Anne Frank. Not so long ago, I was in my tiny house with its peeled walls and its damaged garden. My mother took care of that garden as much as she could; but living in a desert climate was never in her favor. I still remember how it feels like to stay indoors all day long because we had absolutely nothing to do; it feels uncomfortable, unproductive and so unhealthy. ISIS was already hanging in our neighborhoods recruiting boys as soldiers and girls as sex slaves. I woke up one morning, I had that buzzing sound in my ears when everything sounds inaudible and looks unclear. It was one of the signs that I was done; I was done wearing three layers of cloth to walk under 50 degrees Celsius to school, I was done making it to that school to get bullied by classmates and harassed by teachers, I was done spitting out trivial ideas coming out of books required by such corrupted educational systems, I was done being controlled and absolutely done being who I was back there. “Can I see you again?� Sarah asked. I stood, smiled at her and told her See COLUMN, 10A

Open enrollment closes at Century, McGuire Middle school class size to be considered in Lakeville Area School District by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville Area School Board members agreed March 28 to close student transfers at two of its three middle schools for this coming school year. Open and intra-district enrollment will close to both Century and McGuire middle schools, leaving Kenwood Trail Middle School as the only option for families in and out of

the district. Tony Massaros, District 194 executive director of administrative services, said the district is trying to ensure enrollment is aligned with building capacity and staffing decisions. The district limits student enrollment at its middle schools to 950 and 1,950 at the high schools, but Massaros said they have not had discussions about what is appropriate class size at the middle school level.

He called the decision to close open enrollment at Century and McGuire middle schools the first step to determining that level. “Some of the conversation that’s come up recently around middle school redesign is going to also fit into that question,� Massaros said. “So right now, we don’t have an answer to that, but it is for sure on the horizon, and there’s definitely a recognition that we need to do some-

thing there.� The district also changed its open enrollment guidelines for the elementary and high school levels. Elementary open enrollment would close when class sizes at the school were within two of the established guidelines. The guidelines are 24 students maximum in grades K-1; 28 maximum in second grade; 30 students in third grade and 32 students maximum in grades

No evidence animals’ deaths were intentional by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley police are investigating three reports of possible pet poisonings in recent weeks. In a May 1 post on the Police Department’s Facebook page, police urged residents to watch for suspicious activity in light of the reports. As of May 2, though, there was no evidence any of the animals’ deaths were intentionally caused by humans, Apple Valley police Capt. Nick Francis said. “It’s not the dire animals-under-attack situation we maybe thought it was,� Francis said. In one case, a resident on Walnut Circle, near Garden View Drive and County Road 42, reported to police their dog had gotten sick and died, and their veterinarian told them the dog had ingested rat poison. “We are still trying to get in touch with the veterinarian� for confirmation, and to see if

toxicology tests had been performed, Francis said. In another incident, a resident on McIntosh Drive — a few blocks from Walnut Circle — reported that two of her cats had died, possibly from poisoning, and also that her dog had become ill. Police could not confirm poisoning had occurred in any of the animals. A veterinarian said the woman’s dog had contracted an illness unrelated to poisoning, and the cats, which were known to roam the neighborhood, had been buried by their owner before toxicology tests could be performed. One possibility is that the

cats had consumed a rat or mouse that had been poisoned, police said. Police were alerted to a third case of possible poisoning through a Facebook post, in which an Apple Valley resident reported their dog had died and their veterinarian had indicated poison was involved. Police are trying to contact that veterinarian for confirmation, “but there were no blood tests or any autopsy to indicate the dog was poisoned,� Francis said. The reports in Apple Valley come in the wake of reported pet poisonings throughout the metro area. Last summer,

several dogs in St. Paul became ill after eating dog biscuits laced with rat poison that were found in their yards. Last month in Minneapolis, police fielded reports that foods laced with poison had been thrown into residents’ yards. Apple Valley police said that residents who suspect their pet has been poisoned should contact their veterinarian immediately. If the veterinarian determines the pet has been poisoned, call 911 to report the incident. Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc. com.

Newborn tiger cub reunited with mother by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Amur tiger cub born April 26 at the Minnesota Zoo that was being hand-raised by zoo staff to help ensure its survival was reunited with its mother this week. Initially, after observing the mother and female cub overnight, staff decided to pull the cub for hand-raising because her mother was not showing the necessary level of maternal care, officials said. “It always the goal at the Minnesota Zoo for the parents to raise their own young, if at all possible, and zoo staff have been working tirelessly to keep the cub and mother (Sundari) connected,� the zoo reported in a May 2 news release. “Through continued efforts of showing the cub to Sundari through a protective barrier and Sundari showing no signs of aggression toward the cub, the decision was made to reunite the mother-daughter pair,� Zoo staff are closely monitoring the tigers’ interactions and the health of the cub to make sure she has enough milk, and staff are still providing supplemental feedings. Seventy-two percent of Amur tigers — an endangered species — survive their first 30 days.

The cub will remain behind the scenes at the zoo with Sundari as staff monitors its health, and the zoo plans to set up a live webcam to view the newborn cub at www.mnzoo.org/tigercub2017. Zoo staff estimated the gestation period for the cub at 105 days. This is the first offspring for Sundari, who was born at the Minnesota Zoo in June 2012. The father, 7-year-old Putin, has sired two other litters in Denmark, where he lived before coming the Minnesota Zoo in 2015. “This is a significant birth for the Minnesota Zoo and for Amur tigers more broadly,� said Diana Weinhardt, curator of the zoo’s Northern Trail, where Amur tigers are exhibited. “With this being Sundari’s first cub, we are all very excited.� Putin was brought to the zoo in Apple Valley as part of the Amur Tiger Global Species Management Plan, which is coordinated by Minnesota Zoo staff. Putin’s been deemed the most genetically valuable Amur tiger in the North American breeding program — the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ “Tiger Species Survival Plan� — and Sundari and Putin were recommended as a breeding pair.

The zoo’s newborn female tiger cub rests with its mother, Sundari. “In my roles coordinating the national and global breeding programs for Amur tigers, I recommended this pair for breeding because her parents have valuable genes that are important for sustaining a healthy zoo-based population that can serve as a backup for the endangered wild population,� said Tara Harris, the zoo’s vice president for conservation and

coordinator of the Tiger Species Survival Plan. Sundari’s birth in 2012 was the last tiger birth at the Minnesota Zoo until this month. Since opening in 1978, the zoo has welcomed more than 40 Amur tiger cubs. The Amur tiger is the largest of all cats and is a top predator of eastern Asia. Poaching, of both the tigers themselves and

their prey, is the primary threat to the species’ survival. Due to conservation efforts, Amur tiger numbers have increased from as low as 20 or 30 around 1940 to about 500 today, officials said. Information about tiger conservation efforts is at tigercampaign.org. Contact Andrew Miller at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com.

Education Byrne Elementary invites alumni, community to 50th celebration Students and staff members at William Byrne Elementary in Burnsville are celebrating their school’s 50th anniversary with a celebration 9:45-11 a.m. Friday, May 12. Former students and staff members are invited along with current neighbors and community members. “We’re celebrating 50 years of serving students,� said current Principal Lyle Bomsta. “We’re proud of the school’s past and also excited about its future.� A school-wide assembly will take place and there will also be 50-year themed makerspaces.

The school, which opened in 1967, was named after William Byrne, an early settler. The township and later the city were also named in his honor. The original size of the school was 66,911 square feet. There was an addition of 4,160 square feet in 1995 that included a library. New classrooms added square footage of 79,856 in 2016 as part of Vision One91 in Burnsville-EaganSavage School District 191. RSVP by calling 952-707-3500 or at https://sites.google.com/isd191.org/ wb50th.

BHS students selected as finalists Olivia Brammer and Egeziharya Yilma, both of Burnsville, were presented with engraved bronze medallions to recognize their selection as Distinguished Finalists for Minnesota in the 2017 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. The medallions were presented at the April 25 Burnsville High School Volunteer Fair. Olivia, a BHS junior, is an active volunteer who

serves on the “Bowls for Brainpower� leadership team to feed kids in need, as house manager for the Mraz Center, and as a youth commissioner for her city’s parks and natural resources commission. Egeziharya, a BHS senior, held a collection drive that gathered $10,000 worth of school supplies for students in need in Ethiopia, and has since grown her “Project Pencil� to include other

schools outside her district. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, represent the United States’ largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service.

Eagan drumline fundraising for new drums by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Eagan High School drumline is in the midst of a fundraising effort for a new set of drums. The nationally recognized winter drumline, which advanced to the finals and placed 12th in its category at the Winter Guard Internationals in 2014, practice about 14 hours a week November through April and compete starting in February. They’re still using the

same drums purchased by the district in 2008. They are hoping to replace an entire set of drums, which includes snares, tenors and bass drums through a fundraising campaign this summer. “These new drums will allow us to give more incoming students an opportunity to be apart of the winter drumline ensemble for future seasons,� said Eric Krueger, the head director for the Eagan winter drumline program.

The drumline has been a family for many students through the years. Krueger says students grow as musicians, performers and as people while in drumline. Krueger even met his wife while they were part of the Eagan winter drumline. In an attempt to raise $4,000 for the new set, the Eagan drumline set up a Go Fund Me account at https://www.gofundme. com/ehs-drumline-newdrums.

COLUMN, from 5A that I would check my schedule and contact her. I walked out of the building toward the bus station. While I was walking, I certainly couldn’t stop thinking and recalling what happened and what is happening now. All the people that I left behind, my cats and my belongings that I lost forever, the citizenship I abandoned and the country I willingly decided to give up on. Do all these massive sacrifices make me ready for who I thought I was going to be? Does it work when someone tells you, you should love yourself and be proud of what you are no matter what? Is it that simple? I find most people incapable of deep thinking and practical analysis, so I always make my own conclusions. You are not forced to feel pertinence and be devoted to something you believe is wrong! Even if it is part of you, and your duty is to be loyal to it, your clear conscience is your priority, and your freedom is much more precious than all cul-

tures and all identities in the world. My conclusions got me here; I am safe today and my chance for a bright future increased to 90 percent, so I trust my conclusions. Here comes the bus, I couldn’t handle being ethnocentric anymore; so I run back to Sarah’s office. I faced the reception lady with a big smile: “Can you schedule an appointment for me for next Monday?� I asked, and so it was. I turned back willing to leave when Sarah came out of her office with lots of paperwork. “You are still here?� she told me with a joyful expression. “I realized how lucky I am for having this free counseling – I was just playing hard to get. You also give free treats so I will see you next Monday.� She relaxed all her body muscles and gave me a hint look like I am going to be her next favorite person. Smiled again like all nice people of Minnesota, and then said “See you then!�

The fourth annual Pinky Swear Mess Fest hosted by KARE-11’s Eric Perkins was held April 29 at MN Pro Paintball in Lakeville. The youth and family slopstacle course raises money and awareness for Pinky Swear Foundation, which helps kids with cancer and their families with financial and emotional support. The focus of the event was kids helping kids, with about 250 participants running a 1.25-mile course featuring 11 messy slopstacles.

Challenging the stigma of disability Tragic accident inspired focus on possibilities

capabilities, how to overcome physical and mental challenges and what it means to be truly committed to a goal. With fiancĂŠe Amy Rosendahl, whom he proposed to at the site of the accident, they established the Joe Stone Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing resources to help merge the disabled and able-bodied communities through activities that can be experienced together. He said the foundation exists to challenge the stigma against disability. “People think people with disabilities are much less capable than they are,â€? Joe said. His first foray into expanding opportunities for the disabled came in 2013 when he joined the Wydaho Rendezvous, a mountain bike festival held on the border of Idaho and Wyoming. That year, Joe said he was the only disabled person to participate, testing the chair lift and handcycle on the trail, which he found worked well. The next year, the foundation partnered with several organizations to provide more volunteers, equipment and resources that allowed 10 other disabled people to participate. Fifteen disabled people participated in the event in 2015, and last year, 22 people with disabilities rode in the festival of about 600 participants. “That puts us all together in a community together,â€? Joe said. “This is my way of challenging the stigma against disability.â€? Joe said people do not focus on his injury or pity him in an outdoor recreation setting, but instead interactions become “something much more beautiful,â€? and conversation includes questions about equipment, their shared love of the out-

Ron Stone said his heart sank four years ago when he saw his wife, Kim, collapse by their son’s Montana hospital room, where a “code blue� emergency had sounded. “At that moment, I thought it’s over,� Ron said. “She’d been told something already.� Hospital staff ushered the Lakeville parents into a small room, then a priest entered and they found themselves enveloped in a heart-wrenching discussion of then 25-year-old Joe Stone’s life-and-death situation. Before long, their conversation was suddenly interrupted. “The doctor came in and said he got him back,� Ron said. It would not be the last time their adventure-loving son was revived from death. The couple had flown from Minnesota to Montana as soon as they learned of Joe’s Aug. 13, 2010, speed flying accident at Mount Jumbo in Missoula, Montana. New to the faster form of paragliding, Joe had attempted a trick, but became tangled in his parachute and crashed. William Badington, a trained emergency medical technician, was hiking with a friend and had witnessed Joe’s accident. He alerted emergency workers and stayed with Joe until a the life-flight chopper whisked him to the hospital. Ron remembered first seeing Joe in the intensive care unit unconscious, hooked to tubes, unable to breathe on his own.

Joe Stone, an Apple Valley graduate and son of Lakeville business owner Ron Stone, rides his handcycle, a three-wheeled bike propelled by the hands. “It was like a scene out of an ER movie,� Ron recalled. “It was just crazy to see it. ... He had so many drugs in him, he didn’t even know he was alive.� Among Joe’s injuries were collapsed lungs, a torn liver, punctured liver, broken ribs and seven breaks in his back. He needed surgery, but would end up spending over a month in a medically induced coma until his lungs were stable enough to handle anesthesia. After multiple surgeries, he was flown back to Minnesota for rehabilitation that began with learning how to breathe and swallow on his own again. Through setbacks and obstacles, Joe continued to fight, and although the C7 spinal cord injury rendered him an incomplete quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down with impairment in his hands, he was determined to regain independence and pursue outdoor recreation he had always loved. Growing up in Apple Valley, Joe had been an avid rollerblader, performing jumps and riding down

handrails. In Montana, Joe said he had tried mountain backpacking, sky-diving and base jumping, but found his passion in speed flying, paragliding at high speeds with a quick descent. He estimated he was traveling 50 mph speed flying when he crashed, landing on his back. “I didn’t actually accept what had happened until a solid two to three months after I woke up from the coma,� Joe said. “There was a lot that went on in that process. As the drugs wore off, I became more clearheaded, but then there’s the mental battle that you have to do there just trying to accept reality and the situation you’re in.� He said it took him a year to fully come to terms with his new life, then he became determined to take advantage of the new life he was given. He returned to Montana, focused on independence and overcoming perceived limitations. He discovered specialized equipment that allowed disabled people to participate in all sorts of

$¡nÂŁ ¨ÌĂ“n !AĂś ä¯ t

sports, including skiing, boating and hand-cycling, a three-wheeled cycle forwarded by hand. Excited and inspired, Joe began setting incredible goals for himself and meeting them. One day before the year anniversary of the accident, he began a journey to handbike through Glacier National Park on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, and successfully wheeled to the top of Logan Pass. Three years after the accident, Joe became the first known quadriplegic to compete in the grueling Ironman Florida triathlon that includes a 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run. His eight-months of disciplined preparation and valiant effort and was the focus of the recent documentary, “It’s Raining So What; The story of Joe Stone.� As the documentary’s title implies, the weather did not cooperate, and he completed the swim, but missing the time limit by about 120 seconds. Joe said the experience taught him a lot about his

doors and the future as they laugh and ride together. “You can see their wheels turning,� Joe said. “They see if you guys can organize, bring all this stuff out there and participate in this event, what else are you doing in your life?� The foundation is growing slowly, and Joe is also building a public speaking career. He said when he goes to different events around the country, he seeks opportunities to make presentations in hospitals or clinics to encourage people newly injured or undergoing spinal injury rehabilitation. He said he briefly talks about his injury, then shows videos of all the things he is doing now. “Anybody can get in an accident,� Joe said. “That’s the easy part. It’s what you do after it that makes all the difference.� Joe works to problemsolve with people interested in trying a sport, offering options, suggestions and information of foundations and potential resources to purchase equipment or participate in events. Ron said the accident has given Joe a heart for others and grown his perspective to be more focused on helping others. “I believe everything happens for a purpose,� said Ron, CEO of Lakeville-based Adams Radio Group. Joe said the accident changed his life and has given increased confidence. “I’m really thankful for the accident and the series of events that have happened since that have gotten me to the place where I am,� Joe said. “I wouldn’t be who I am today if wasn’t for what happened yesterday and the days before.� For more information or to contact Joe, go to meetjoestone.com and joestonefoundation.org.

Sports Eagan’s Windels runs to first place at Elite Meet Wildcats’ Steger wins boys 800 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Natalie Windels’ winning time at the Hamline Elite Meet was so fast it even left her struggling to describe it. “Everything was just on. It’s kind of hard to explain,” Windels said Friday after becoming the first member of the Eagan girls track and field team to win an event at the Hamline Elite Meet. She took first in the 300-meter hurdles in 43.35 seconds, winning by about one second and cutting more than one second off her previous school record, set in the 2016 state Class AA meet on the same Hamline University track. Also taking first at the Elite Meet was Eagan senior Ryan Steger, who overcame shoe problems to win the boys 800-meter run. The Elite Meet brings together the state’s top performers in both enrollment classes. Windels, a junior, competed there for the third time. She went in as the top seed in the 300 hurdles, and while winning would be nice, Windels said her main concern was “probably my time. I wanted lower 45s, so it was surprising when I got 43.” Windels was within three-tenths of a second of the meet record. She

Eagan junior Natalie Windels set personal and school 300-meter hurdles at the Hamline Elite Meet. said she had a mistake-free run, but believes she can still run faster. “It makes me set a goal for lower 43s or possibly 42s,” she said. “I’ll probably up my training and focus on the 300 hurdles maybe more than the 100s.” She did not run the 100 hurdles at the Elite Meet but qualified for state in that event last year, finishing seventh (she was fifth at state in the 300 hurdles last season). Windels also long jumps – she was fifth at state in that event last year – and runs on Ea-

gan’s 4x400 relay. The rest of the season will be busy, but she hopes to return to Hamline for the state meet in more than one event. “The track’s very good, kind of cushiony,” she said. “It feels right to be here.” Steger, who said after the meet that a spike on one of his shoes broke, still was able to come from behind to win the boys 800. He was in third place after the first lap but overtook Osseo’s Corey Moody and Stillwater’s Patrick Leonard on the final lap.

Burnsville High School could have a football alumnus make it to the NFL for the second consecutive year. Chase Roullier, a 2012 BHS graduate who started 40 games as an offensive lineman at the University of Wyoming, was selected by Washington in the sixth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. He was the 199th overall selection. Roullier was one of two Wyoming players drafted this year (the other, running back Brian Hill, went to Atlanta in the fifth round) but is the first offensive lineman from his school to be drafted in 20 years. He played in 46 games over four years at Wyoming and was a team captain the last two seasons. Roullier, 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, was first-team All-Mountain West Conference and second-team USA Today Sports AllAmerica. He played in the East-West Shrine Game following his senior season and participated in the NFL Draft Combine in February. Roullier has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and was a four-time Academic AllMountain West Conference player. Last year he was a national semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, one of the nation’s top scholar-athlete awards. At Burnsville High, Roullier was a two-way lineman. He was firstteam All-State and Academic All-State as a senior, and was one of 25 players nominated for the Mr. Football Award. If he makes the Washington roster, he will join former Blaze teammate C.J. Smith in the NFL. Smith signed with Philadelphia as a free agent last year and made the team as a defensive back and special teams player. Smith was a standout with NCAA Football Championship Subdivision power

North Dakota State. Two quarterbacks with local connections will attend NFL rookie minicamps. Lakeville South High School graduate and University of Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner will attend the Baltimore Ravens’ minicamp this weekend. He was 29-18 as a starter at Minnesota, including two victories in bowl games. He passed for 7,287 yards and 36 touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 touchdowns. University of Minnesota Duluth quarterback Drew Bauer, an Eagan High School graduate, will go to the Green Bay Packers’ rookie minicamp. In 2016, Bauer set UMD single-season records with 3,421 passing yards and 4,174 total yards. He was named first-team AllNorthern Sun Conference after being named to the second team as a sophomore and junior. He is second in the school record book for career passing yards (9,061) and total yards (12,260). UMD was 40-8 with Bauer as the starting quarterback. If Bauer makes an NFL roster, he would join former Eagan High player Zach Zenner in the league. Zenner, a running back, signed with Detroit as a free agent after a stellar career at South Dakota State and is entering his third season with the Lions.

Thanking veterans The Burnsville and Eagan high school baseball teams will honor military veterans at their game Thursday, May 11, at Alimagnet Park. Veterans are asked to check in at 5 p.m. A color guard ceremony and the national anthem will take place at 5:30, with the first pitch at 6. For more information, visit www.burnsvillebaseball.org.

Warmer weather means action is heating up in South Suburban Conference spring sports. Here’s a quick look at how some of the races are progressing:

Boys lacrosse The state boys lacrosse rankings have a decidedly South Suburban Conference influence. Eastview moved to No. 1 in the poll this week and defeated Burnsville 11-5 on Tuesday. Jason Hill had four

Semi-pro football team will play in Burnsville Minnesota Brawlers’ home opener is Saturday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A semi-pro football team’s search for a permanent home has brought it to Dakota County, where it hopes to stay for a while. The Minnesota Brawlers, one of 10 teams in the Northern Elite Football League, start their 2017 season Saturday against the Fargo Invaders at Burnsville High School’s Bob Pates Stadium. Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. The Brawlers will play three home games at BHS (May 6, May 13 and July 8), as well as one home game at Lakeville South High School (June 3) and one home game at Robbinsdale Cooper High School (July 22). They play nine games in a regular season that runs until late July. Last season the Brawlers played at several sites in and around Mankato before team president Trever Coxworth decided the metro area was the place his team needed to be. “We have a core group of guys who played at Minnesota State Mankato, but we had a hard time finding fields to play on down there,” Coxworth said. “And it seemed like whenever we came to the cities to play a game, we had bigger crowds than we had for our home games.” Games in Burnsville are a convenient trip even for players and fans who live outside the metro area, said Coxworth, who added that Bob Pates Stadium also was an attraction. “With the Jumbotron they have

there and the upgrades they’ve made, it will be one of the best facilities in our league,” he said. Coxworth, a native of Winnebago, Minnesota, said at first he resisted the idea of relocating the team to the metro area, fearing it would be lost among the region’s numerous sports offerings. But the move has created an uptick in participation. When located outstate, the Brawlers sometimes played games with about two dozen players in uniform. They expect to have about 40 this season, having found a market for adults who aren’t done yet with football. Most of the players on the Brawlers’ roster – and in the league – have at least some college football experience. Their top player might be Herschel Prater, a 6-foot-6, 335-pound offensive lineman who started four seasons at Minnesota State Mankato and went to a Minnesota Vikings minicamp. Quarterback RayJon Bibbens and tight end/linebacker Ryan Saumur also followed the team to the metro area for the 2017 season. The Brawlers’ roster also includes wide receiver Josh Zitzmann, a Farmington native who played at Rochester Community and Technical College. Coxworth said the line should be big enough to enable the Brawlers to have a strong running game. Prater isn’t even the team’s biggest lineman; that’s Martell Lightfoot, who’s listed at 6-9, 415. “RayJon is a very good runner and passer, and we have a lot of depth at receiver,” Coxworth said. “We’re a little thin at running back, but the ones we have are very good.” The Northern Elite league is one of 25 to 30 regional semi-pro adult

football leagues in the country. “Semi-pro” is a bit of a misnomer because the players aren’t paid. For the players, it’s not a full-time job, but it’s not beer-league softball, either. If there’s an equivalent to semi-pro football in another sport, it might be town team baseball, where many of the players have college experience and can get through a season with limited practice time. Coxworth said the Brawlers rented time in a dome about once a month during the winter. Since April 1, they have been practicing on weekends. When the regular season starts they will try to get together once a week for practice, but Coxworth said the players’ personal schedules make it difficult to have full attendance for a practice. Coxworth said he wants the team to have a presence in the community. The players already have done some work with Feed My Starving Children, and Coxworth said he also hopes to use the team to bring an anti-bullying message to local schools. Adult tickets for the May 6 home game are $10 each, with students admitted free. There also will be free admission for military veterans at the May 13 home game against the St. Paul Pioneers, who have won the Northern Elite league championship the last six years. More information about the Brawlers and the league is available at www.northernelitefootball.com. “It’s taken us a few years to build this up,” Coxworth said of the Brawlers, who were founded in 2013, “and now we think we’ve found a home.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike. shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

News Briefs Dakota Electric annual meeting Celebrating 80 years of service and using technology to serve its members even better were a couple of the topics discussed at Dakota Electric Association’s April 27 annual meeting held at St. Michael’s Church in Farmington. President and CEO Greg Miller discussed how good planning and technology has helped Dakota Electric keep its reliability ranked among the best in the nation. He also highlighted the recently launched outage app that allows members to easily report a power outage without having to call the dispatch center. Members will also receive updates about outages on their mobile devices. Miller reported on other new technology that the cooperative is investigating. “The advanced grid project will provide many benefits: increased system efficiencies, improved outage notification and restoration and more energy information for our members,� Miller said. “Dakota Electric’s meters and load management receivers are old and nearing the end of their useful life,� he told the audience. “This project combines the replacement of electric meters and load management receivers and adds a software system to capture the data and run analytics to improve our services.� Miller also mentioned that besides the one-megawatt solar project to be built this year, the cooperative is pursuing other opportunities for additional solar. Board Vice Chair Jerry Pittman discussed the board’s strategic planning work in 2016. He also reviewed the company’s roots and how local residents worked together to start the utility. Board Treasurer David Jones gave an overview of the 2016 financials, which received a clean audit opinion from Dakota Electric’s auditor. Will Kaul, vice president and chief transmission officer for Great River Energy, brought an update from Dakota Electric’s wholesale power supplier. He talked about the transformation

of the utility industry affecting how electricity is generated, new technologies being developed and how technology is enabling customer choices. “These changes are being driven by a convergence of digital technologies which enable customer choices,� Kaul said. “Devices such as smart thermostats, energy management systems, more efficient appliances and lighting, and affordable renewable energy resources give consumers options they’ve never had before, and that’s not a bad thing. But we do need to anticipate our customer’s wants and needs and adapt along with the market.� The membership re-elected four incumbent directors to serve three-year terms: John (Jack) DeYoe, district 1; Janet Lekson, district 2; Margaret Schreiner, district 3; and Paul Bakken, district 4. A bylaw change that modified director eligibility requirements also passed. As a cooperative owned by those it serves, Dakota Electric holds director elections and an annual meeting each year. A customer-owned, not-forprofit utility since 1937, Dakota Electric Association provides electricity to more than 105,000 members throughout Dakota County and portions of Goodhue, Rice and Scott counties. Dakota Electric is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

routes for bikers and help them avoid higher traffic routes. Lexington Avenue, Diffley Road, Pilot Knob Road, Highway 13 and Yankee Doodle Road have heavy traffic and are often unsafe for bikers, he said. “And people in vehicles aren’t always going to see you,” Barringer said. “People don’t always expect cyclists.” But organizers hope motorists will recognize a large group of cyclists on May 17. Organizers reached out to Eagan officials to let them know this was happening, but Shauna Joas said since they’re not planning on crossing any major streets and don’t need to shut down any roads, they didn’t need a permit or police escort. Bryan Joas will join the riders during the “Ride of Silence.” He’s been back on the bike for a few months. His longest ride so far has been 45 miles. Officials still haven’t found the driver of the vehicle that hit him, since they left the scene. “We don’t know if they were texting or distracted,” Shauna Joas said. “People aren’t always looking for cyclists. Be aware. Give some space. Give some distance while passing.” Shauna Joas wanted to participate in a “Ride of Silence” this year, but found the closest other locations were in Albert Lea and Alexandria, so she decided to start her own. It’s a worldwide event happening in all 50 states and 48 countries. “Whoever shows up, shows up,” Shauna Joas said. “You don’t have to be signed up. It’s free. We’re here to raise awareness. To share the road. If we get 50 or 100 people, it would be great. We’re going to have some snacks. Some water. It’s a community event. This has affected my family so much. “I think if we coulAd have one more person be aware of a bicyclist, we’ve done our job.”

Barringer. They’re going to ride no faster than 12 miles per hour, and ride silently to remember those who have been hurt. The safety of bicyclists is a passion for Barringer, who also owns the Endurance House in Eagan. His goal is to show cyclists safe roads to ride on, and remind those in vehicles to keep an eye out for bikers. Barringer said Eagan doesn’t have as many trails for road bikers to ride. Cyclists often have to share the road with several vehicles or ride on a sidewalk. A cyclist has the same rights as a vehicle on a road, but not everyone knows that and not everyone likes it. Barringer said he’s been passed on single lane roads, honked at several times, and even confronted while biking legally on city roads. Minnesota law gives bicyclists the same rights and privileges as drivers of other vehicles, except for differences specified in the law. And cyclists must be familiar with and obey all traffic laws. He’s advocating for more education, more dedicated bike routes and better signs within Eagan. Barringer said he would like to show city staff that there’s a need for more dedicated bike paths, but he also realizes it’s a long-term answer. “But in the short term the best answer is more education and better signage,” Barringer said. Eagan does have several bike paths in neighborhoods, but they’re not always connected and bikers don’t always know the safest route. He said Eagan doesn’t have trails such as the Greenway in Minneapolis, Cannon Valley Trail in Welch or the Gateway Trail in St. Paul. “I wish Eagan had something like that,” Barringer said. “It’s so much safer for cycling, but I don’t know how likely it Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ is.” He would also like to promote safer ecm-inc.com. 32, from 1A breweries an outlet. We want to be a place where people check to see each week what we have on tap.” Union 32 Crafthouse will also have between four and six of its own beers on tap at any given time. They figure to have an India pale ale, Altbier and Kölsch along with a saison and stout. “We’re going to try to have seasonals as well,” Redpath said. While most taprooms in the Twin Cities don’t serve food on site, a food truck is often in the parking lot. Union 32 Crafthouse will maintain that same spirit. “We’re bringing the food truck concept inside,” Redpath said. “Our kitchen will look like a food truck. You order food at the food truck window and runners will bring you your food. We’re going to have 17-19 items on the menu. We’ll rotate things regularly, but it will have pub favorites like appetizers, flatbread, burgers and sandwiches.” There will also be a full bar for mixed drinks and wine from local distilleries and wineries. The 77,000-square-foot brewpub will be open near the new Minnesota Vikings headquarters, which “is exciting and cre-

ating a lot of buzz,” Redpath said. Redpath said they didn’t necessarily choose the location because of their future neighbors. They began negotiations with their landlord before the Vikings officially announced their intentions. Redpath felt that part of Eagan near Mendota Heights was under-served. It has great viability and enough space for their concept, Redpath said. Unless the Viking hold training camp at their new location, Redpath isn’t sure what affect it will have on the Union 32 Crafthouse. The Vikings facility is planning to host high school and college athletic events. “I think we’ll be a great option when they come through,” Redpath said. It’s been an adventure for Redpath and his crew. He has three partners including David Moeller, Mark Zesbaugh and Curt Hoffman. They met when their children attended school together at Faithful Shepherd Catholic School. Redpath said they hope to open in early June. Everything is on schedule, they’re just waiting for the permits. “Everything is in motion,” Redpath said. “I think we have a unique concept and we’re excited to bring it to Eagan.”

SURVEY, from 1A reported worriers reflects a range of students. “We’re hearing a lot about trauma, we’re hearing about the impact of the immigration activities that have been going on,” Amoroso said. “There are a lot of things happening with our families and with our students and we’re certainly seeing that reflected in our student self-reporting.” Students with anxieties include honors students worried about getting all their work done, said Michelle Henderson, an Eagle Ridge Middle School guidance counselor. They comprised a significant share of her first-quarter caseload, Henderson said. Some students are anxious over their living situations, not sure where the family will stay next, she said. Immigration has become a stressor for some students, said Headway Emotional Health Services’ Heather Gunderson, the school-based therapy coordinator at Metcalf Middle School. Overall, she said she gets referrals for students suffering anxiety, depression and trauma. “Some of these kids, I’m just amazed” they can function at school given their difficult home lives, Gunderson said. 191, from 1A –School authorities assume students of color don’t care about their education. The panel called for equal treatment, more staff support and more support for minority student activities, even those with small numbers. Among the district’s mostly white teaching staff, Stanley found that about 75 percent knew they needed help adjusting to a student body with an ever-growing number of Somali, Latino and African-American students. “Specifically, teachers reported that they do not have the skill set to deliver instruction in a differential and high-engagement manner,” Stanley said. The 2015-16 school year was used to train district leaders in developing culturally proficient school systems, with full staff training this year and full implementation beginning next year, Stanley said. Staffers are coached to better understand their own beliefs, values and as-

Eleventh-grade girls in District 191 say they’re less likely to use birth control than the statewide average of girls in 2016. More than a third of sexually active students don’t talk to their partners about pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. More boys than girls fall into that category. Amoroso highlighted falling alcohol use among district eighth-graders — “significant” declines since 2013 of 4 percent for boys and 6 percent for girls. Eighth-grade girls in 191 are less likely to feel “valued and appreciated” by others than the statewide average. “This is something we’ve been watching from our past surveys, and we are concerned,” Amoroso said. The district’s new middleschool model stresses “relationships and opportunities for students to be connecting more with the adults who can impact this.”

beat, kicked or physically hurt and touched sexually against their wishes and being forced to touch any adult,” a district report said. The use of sexual jokes, comments and gestures has fallen at all grade levels since 2013. Reported namecalling and put-downs of girls dating or in serious relationships has fallen since 2013, with the biggest drop among 11th-graders. Among fifth-grade boys, 34 percent reported being physically bullied compared with 30 percent statewide in 2016. And 3 percent of them reported being bullied or harassed daily for their “gender expression.” “We can’t compare this to the past because this was a brand new question on the survey,” Amoroso said. Seventy-three percent of ninth-graders and 88 percent of 11th-graders say they’ve never been bullied for their gender expression. Overall, more district students reported feeling that their teachers were interested in and cared about them than in 2013. That’s especially true among eighth-grade girls, who were “outliers” on that question in the previous survey.

More District 191 girls at all grade levels surveyed reported feeling safe at school than three years ago. The greatest increase is 6 percent for 11th-grade girls. Safety data for eighthgrade girls have improved over 2013, but “they con- Contact John Gessner at tinue to report higher john.gessner@ecm-inc.com incidences of being hit, or 952-846-2031. sumptions and how those affect their work with different student groups. An April survey of district teachers suggests the training is taking hold. Teachers were asked, on a scale of 1 (never) to 4 (daily), how often they’ve used the “high-engagement strategies” modeled during training. The average was response was 3. Teachers were asked how often they’ve challenged or critiqued their “mental models.” The average response was 2.8 “For me, the biggest change has been a personal change,” Gideon Pond Elementary digital learning specialist Alexis Rollie, a culturally proficient schools staff leader, told the board. “We reflect a lot on our teaching as teachers: ‘How did this lesson go; what can I do differently?’ “But it’s something different to reflect on how my beliefs and my values really play out in my classroom and how I am projecting those onto my students and perhaps having expectations based on my beliefs

more than based on student learning.” Added Gideon Pond third-grade teacher Allison Skoglund: “Culture is living and breathing in our daily lives, and it’s constantly in flux. This work has really helped.” Gideon Pond Principal Chris Bellmont said students of color have made some big leaps in school engagement this year. The number serving on school patrols has doubled, the number in the chess club has nearly doubled, and the number in activities such as Math Masters has grown. Bellmont said he came from a social-justice-oriented family but grew up “culturally impoverished,” not interacting with people of color until after high school. “And now,” he said, “having a first-grader at Gideon Pond, my wife and I can’t imagine sending our children to a school that isn’t culturally rich.”

Thisweekend ‘Mom! The Musical’

“Sister Act,� presented by The Play’s The Thing Productions, runs May 12-21 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center.

‘Sister Act’ comes to Lakeville stage Musical comedy opens May 12 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Things are getting a little wild down at the convent. And the nuns’ choir is acquiring some serious gospel-music chops. The Play’s The Thing Productions is set to present “Sister Act,� a stage adaptation of the hit 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, May 12-21 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The musical comedy follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier (played in the film by Goldberg) as she’s placed in protective custody in a convent after witnessing a murder. “She finds herself at odds with (the nuns’) incredibly rigid lifestyle and she’s not getting along with Mother Superior,� explained Dayna Railton, the show’s director and

producer. “The only place she fits in is the choir, and she basically breathes new life into this failing choir.� Though the premise is the same as the 1992 film, the stage version of “Sister Act� differs in that it uses an adapted script, and the music isn’t the same as the movie’s. Railton said the adapted script is in many ways funnier than the original, because it manages to flesh out some of the characters that were presented in a cursory manner in the film. Especially humorous in the stage version, she said, is the depiction of the inept mobsters who are searching for Van Cartier. “It’s a fantastic script — the ridiculously stupid mobsters, the goons, they are just hilarious,� she said. Show times for “Sister Act� are 7:30 p.m. May 12-13 and 19-20, and 2 p.m. May 14 and 21. Tickets are $15 and are

available at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com and by calling 952-9854640. “Sister Act� is one of several musicals The Play’s The Thing plans to present in coming months. “The Lion King,� featuring a cast of child actors, will play the Mraz Center at Burnsville High School in June. In August, the Lakeville-based theater group will stage the pop musical “Cyrano de BurgerShack,� with a mostly teenage cast, at the Mraz Center and at Caponi Art Park in Eagan. Also in August, an adult cast of TPTT actors will present the classic musical “Anything Goes� at the Mraz Center. More about these shows, including audition information, is at www. theplaysthethingproductions.com. Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.
