Food truck dispute brewing Lakeville City Council to consider new regulations for food trucks

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville expo thinks spring The Lakeville Landscape & Home Expo and Consumer Showcase returns to Lakeville North High School as a harbinger of spring. See today’s special section for more. Inside this edition

A food truck disagreement is brewing between neighboring business owners in downtown Lakeville. Lakeville City Council members are considering options for food trucks to occasionally operate in areas throughout Lakeville after Angry Inch Brewing owners Josh Hebzynski and Jon Erickson requested city

ordinances change to allow them to invite food trucks to sell outside their brewery some weekends year-round. Erickson said at the Feb. 28 City Council work session hosting an occasional food truck would attract more people downtown and benefit all surrounding retailers. He said they would seek out a variety of food trucks that offer different meal options than what is available at neighboring

restaurants. Marty Richie, owner of Heavy Metal Grill Restaurant and the food truck of the same name, is opposed to the proposal. Richie said a food truck will negatively affect his brick-and-mortar business, located next to Angry Inch Brewing in the same building on Holyoke Avenue. He told Sun Thisweek a food truck is cheaper to operate and the owners have no stake in the

community, do not pay property taxes and do not have multiple employees to consider. Erickson said they had a food truck outside their business on 208th Street on Feb. 2 and his patrons enjoyed British meat pies not offered at surrounding restaurants. He said if the city permits food trucks, they would continue to seek trucks offering different fare than is now available. He said allowing the

Farmington man convicted for hit-and-run death Sentencing is May 10 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After a week of testimony and more than 17 hours of deliberations over three days, a Scott County jury on Feb. 24 convicted Matthew Keely Hartley, 34, of Farmington, on three counts of criminal vehicular homicide in the Sept. 25 hitand-run crash that killed Mollie Mahowald, 24, of Lakeville. Mollie’s father, Pete Mahowald, said the family was happy with the verdict and grateful to jurors for their time and careful review of the evidence, which included Hartley’s testimony and that of 22 witnesses for the prosecution. During deliberations, the six-man, six-woman jury twice briefly convened in the courtroom to review a short video clip of Hartley and friend Joshua Plan revving their

Hartley was convicted of all charges except one count of criminal vehicular homicide associated with being under the influence of alcohol. Scott County Attorney Mike Budka said outside the courtroom after the verdict was read, the family was emotional, hugging each other and wiping tears. Pete Mahowald said several jurors also hugged family members and expressed sympathy for their loss. Budka said Hartley is expected to be sentenced to the statutory maximum of 15 years in prison.

Court documents show he has been convicted of and/or pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges, many felonies, in dozens of criminal cases including domestic abuse, burglary, terrorist threats, obscene or harassing phone calls, financial transaction fraud, theft, DWI and driving after suspension. Sentencing is scheduled for May 10. “I’m glad this is over for the family,� Budka said. “It’s a long time coming.� Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Local efforts underway to address county’s aging population City profiles highlight key components of an age-friendly community

The population is aging. This is true across the nation and in most communities in Minnesota. Dakota County leaders say that cities need to reflect this changing demographic landscape to help people stay safe, healthy, and living independently in their communities. For that reason, Dakota County’s Communities for a Lifetime Initiative has completed profiles for the 11 major cities in Dakota County. The profiles highlight key components of an age-friendly community. The goal is to increase awareness of future demographic changes and their implications, and to provide a menu of options for how communities can respond to the changes based on their strengths and gaps. The initiative’s manager, Jess Luce, worked with city managers and planners to finalize the profiles. Feedback and suggested changes from city and county staff were incorporated, along with current research and rel-

evant data to customize profiles for each city. Each profile includes a city’s changing population data, housing performance score, types of housing, transit options, land use, walkability score, and other indicators, including indicators from AARP’s Livability Index. Age-friendly policies are also highlighted. City profiles will be a resource and a strategic planning tool to help communities measure their progress in becoming more age-friendly as they undertake a comprehensive planning process through 2018, according to Luce. The Communities for a Lifetime Initiative aims to engage communities in active planning, sharing best practice models, and by partnering on agefriendly projects. Residents can view all of the profiles by searching City Profiles Project at www.co.dakota.mn.us. For more information on the Dakota County Communities for a Lifetime City Profiles Project, or to schedule an overview presentation on a particular city’s profile, contact Luce at jess.luce@ co.dakota.mn.us or 651554-6130.

Lakeville couple sentenced for theft from parents Shannon, Ted Thompson entered guilty pleas by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Shannon and Theodore Thompson pleaded guilty and were sentenced Feb. 28 for stealing over $60,000 from Shannon’s elderly Lakeville parents after her father became ill and eventually died in 2014. Dakota County District Judge Michael Baxter sentenced each to five days in jail and 30 days of electronic home monitoring and ordered them to pay $47,443 in restitution. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said some of the money was recovered through insur-

Shannon Theodore Thompson Thompson ance. The Thompsons, of Rosemount, moved in with Shannon Thompson’s father after he was diagnosed with cancer. According to criminal complaints, the couple repeatedly forged her mother’s signature and deposited multiple checks issued to the mother or forged by them from her account into their own accounts for about a year after her father died. Shannon Thompson’s mother reportedly thought the couple were paying her household bills and mort-

gage, but discovered the bills were going unpaid. The mother also discovered changes were made regarding how her regular income was being handled. Posts on Shannon Thompson’s Facebook page describe the stress of caring for her father until his death on Feb. 10, 2014. On dates following his death, the Facebook posts include details of the couple taking several vacations, including to Europe and an all-inclusive, adults-only resort, and making purchases that included a new truck, a motorcycle, a large television and a hot tub. Shannon Thompson also used her mother to obtain a pain pill prescription from her doctor, and told her she would do all the talking and she would

kick her mother out of the house if she did not go along with the story. A criminal complaint stated Shannon Thompson’s mother was afraid of the couple, who prevented her from seeing her other two daughters. In a statement, Backstrom called financial theft from the elderly and vulnerable “a significant and growing problem.� “It is disturbing to see thefts like this from an older parent by a daughter and her husband,� Backstrom said. “We are pleased to have held this couple responsible for their actions.� Backstrom thanked Lakeville police for their investigation and Assistant County Attorney Tori Stewart, who prosecuted the case.

CR 42 bridge project back on track by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bridge repairs and road construction will challenge motorists this spring at County Road 42 and Interstate 35W in Burnsville. The westbound lanes of the County Road 42 bridge will be closed from April 17, when work begins, to May 22. The eastbound lanes will be closed from May 22 to June 21. Detours will cause some congestion on local streets, said John Sass, project manager for the Dakota County Transportation Department. The bridge carries more than 50,000 vehicle trips a day on the county’s principal east-west roadway. “The first three days will be ugly,� Sass said. “But then people will figure out the route that they prefer, and they’ll generally stick to it.� The $2.3 million project was originally sched-

uled for last summer. But officials decided to hold off because the busy summer schedules of the few contractors that do bridge deck overlays would have pushed up costs, Sass said. The project was bid for this spring instead, when contractors won’t be as busy. The project includes new concrete mill and overlay on the 28-yearold deck, which officials say has been deteriorated by deicing salts. Replacing the deck now will add about 30 years of bridge life, Sass said. Without a new overlay, the bridge would have to be replaced in 15 to 20 years, he said. Bridge joints and sidewalks will also be repaired. The project includes a 500-foot extension of the eastbound County Road left-turn lane motorists use to access northbound I-35W. Heavy use of the dual left-turn lanes by vehicles coming from the

Burnsville Center area causes backups of eastbound through traffic, particularly in the lane next to the turn lanes. The backups often extend into the Aldrich Avenue intersection. “We’re trying to get that left-turning movement out of the through traffic in that area,� Sass said. The project also includes reconstruction of the traffic signal at Buck Hill Road and the southbound I-35W ramp. Dakota County has hosted two meetings on the project with area businesses, and the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce held one in November, chamber President Jennifer Harmening said. Now the chamber is gearing up with email blasts and website postings about the project, she said. The city of Burnsville has relaxed its temporary sign regulations to allow

businesses to guide motorists to their doors, Harmening said. “It’ll be short, but painful,� she said. The county will discuss the project with Burnsville’s police and fire departments and other ambulance services that travel to nearby Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. “The hospital isn’t so impacted with the westbound closure, but with the eastbound closure, there will be directional signing to the hospital,� Sass said. Roads that will carry detoured traffic include Burnhaven Drive, Aldrich Avenue, Nicollet Avenue, Buck Hill Road and Southcross Drive and 150th Street West, according to the county. Project information is at www.co.dakota.mn.us/ Transportation/PlannedConstruction/CR42I35WBurnsville.

Lakeville home expo set for March 11 One-day free event offers options for sellers, buyers by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Homeowners considering putting their house on the market should first consider their home’s buyer appeal. Although the Twin Cities is in the midst of a sellers market, buyers are almost uniformly walking away from homes sporting oldfashioned popcorn ceilings, according to Jeff Lundquist, owner of Homegevity, a real estate company in Minneapolis. “More and more people don’t like popcorn ceilings,� Lundquist said. “It’s a big deterrent.� He said while there is a lack of inventory around the Twin Cities, buyers are demanding features

that h iinclude l d smooth h ceilings ili il and d stainless steel appliances. “People just have a thing with stainless steel appliances,� Lundquist said. He said investing in an existing home can boost its value and ability to sell. Lundquist added that buyers are also looking for granite kitchen counter tops, updated bathrooms and a finished basement. For homeowners planning or thinking about home improvement projects, the Lakeville Landscape & Home Show/Consumer Showcase offers a local, fun way to explore options.

Township elections are March 14 Four run for three open seats in Eureka by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota townships will hold local elections March 14 and polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. In Eureka Township, part of the District 194 School District, four candidates are running for two open township supervisor seats. Candidates are Allen Novacek, Donovan Palmquist, Butch Hansen and Nancy Sauber. Novacek is a business owner and 25-year township resident who served three years on the township Planning Commission, according to the township’s January newsletter. He said he is running out of concern about the direction local authorities are taking the township and is advocating for “a common sense approach to solving problems instead of ‘playing poli-

tics.’� Novacek said he has witnessed how governing the township has turned into “governing the individual� and cited concern about “repeated abuses� by the board in their handling of township residents. He also cited concerns about the possibility of Lakeville annexing the Airlake Airport and called for establishing a limited commercial zone in the township. Novacek expands on his concerns at his website, acloserlookeurekatownship.com. Palmquist is a 12-year township resident, member of Eureka Township Planning Commission, retired community college educator and professional kiln builder. In the newsletter, he called commercial growth an inevitable issue that needs to be addressed. He said the township needs to create thoughtful solutions to minimize the impacts of growth. “One of my priorities in serving on the board

would be to work to preserve our rural quality of life while proactively managing growth of small commercial interests in the township,� Palmquist said. He said his life experiences would benefit the township and include working with building officials, inspectors and city officials from around the nation. “I am a positive person who builds bridges to accomplish a common goal. I try to be objective by looking at both sides of an issue to help both parties come to a rational and satisfying solution,� he said. Hansen, a 36-year township resident who has served as Planning Commission chair and vicechair in addition to serving on several task forces in the township, said it is time for a new voice in township government. He said he wants to represent all township residents and believes everyone should be heard regarding issues in the community. “My goal is to use this opportunity in becom-

ing a Eureka Town Board Supervisor to benefit all residents,� Hansen said. “I believe everyone should be heard regarding issues in our community.� He cited his experience as a landowner with agricultural products and livestock who owns a small business he has grown from the ground up. Hansen said he is dedicated to protecting Eureka Township from annexation and excessive regulation, adding he wants to preserve and protect landowner rights and support businesses in the township. “I would be honored to be the people’s representative on the Town Board and protect all our rights and dreams,� he said.

over 60 years and was an active Girl Scouts volunteer. She said building relationships with adjoining municipalities is important for Eureka to direct its own future. “Long-range goals and land-use decisions are crucial in the township’s retaining its identity and high quality of life,� Sauber said in the newsletter. Issues she said she would continue to work on are the airport annexation, long-range township planning and fiscal oversight of taxpayer funds. Sauber said she tries to treat citizens with respect and listen to their concerns. “I understand that the ordinances are our community’s laws and should be enforced even-handedly,� she said.

4A March 3, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

Opinion University, Kaler can’t afford a third strike For the University of Minnesota, there is much work to be done to regain the trust of students, parents and the state at large. It can start with a recalibration of the U’s moral compass. Ten Gopher football players were identified and investigated, along with a juvenile recruit, following sexual assault allegations. Four of the players have been expelled and two suspended upon recommendations by the University of Minnesota’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Minnesotans are all investors in the University, whether by writing tuition checks or having our tax dollars subsidize the institution. That is why we deserve a clear plan on how the school will repair trust in the institution and hold student-athletes to a higher standard going forward. In September, a woman alleged that multiple players pressured her to have sex and she was too intoxicated to give consent. This put the U of M under the microscope for the last six months, revealing disgusting behavior and absent accountability. The controversy peaked in December when remaining members of the team announced a boycott of the Holiday Bowl, a move supported by some coaching staff, including Head Coach Tracy Claeys. After a copy of a lengthy report following the University’s investigation

ECM Editorial was leaked to news outlet KSTP, the players ended the boycott. Claeys was fired a week after the bowl game. While the Minneapolis Police Department investigated and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman twice reviewed the case, no criminal charges were filed. Still, the damning 80-page report from the University made it clear that the players involved did not live up to the school’s code of conduct for student athletes. Freeman called their behavior “deplorable.” Although the University’s core functions are education and research, we cannot dismiss the power of athletics and how they lend to the U’s brand. The University’s high-profile sports teams are the most familiar faces to the public and their closest connection to the maroon and gold. Of late, there have been some poor ambassadors on the football fields, basketball courts, wrestling mats -- and in the school’s top administration. This comes on the heels of a scandal involving one of the school’s top administrators, former Athletic Director Norwood Teague, who resigned after it was revealed he sexually harassed women he worked with. This was the first strike against Uni-

versity President Eric Kaler, who then brought in Mark Coyle to lead the athletic department and turn things around. We are entitled to expect him to get it right. In September, Coyle fired longtime wrestling coach J Robinson following an investigation into players’ use and sale of Xanax, a prescription sedative. Among the many failures in lack of oversight by the University, it is unacceptable for a juvenile recruit to be turned loose without responsible supervision. We expect changes in protocol to be made. At a public speaking engagement in Oakdale early this year, Coyle admitted the last seven months had been the toughest of his life. “The last five weeks have rocked me,” he said. Coyle emphasized that accountability needs to be shown by student athletes, adding that the word has lost its meaning. “It should be a privilege for athletes to put on that M jersey,” Coyle said. We agree, and point out that a privilege is distinctly different from a right. Just because a student is not charged with a crime does not mean there shouldn’t be significant repercussions. Coyle said he is responsible for developing and enforcing the student athlete code of conduct. The University is well within bounds to bench, or turf, athletes who do not live

up to the school’s standards. We need to see the rules enforced, along with recruitment of student-athletes who are of the quality in talent and character that will make that the school, and the state, proud. Now that a coaching change is in place with the hiring of P.J. Fleck, it’s time for the University to present a comprehensive plan on how it will hold its student-athletes and staff accountable going forward. Sadly, all of these incidents take the spotlight away from deserving students and athletes who are working hard to achieve degrees in the classroom and success in highly competitive athletics. This is the second major incident on President Kaler’s watch. Clearly, it’s time for a major culture change. Despite some raising concerns about their involvement, the University’s Board of Regents must play an important role in the turnaround. Kaler, and the Regents, are ultimately responsible for making sure the University of Minnesota is a safe place for all students to learn, and where women are respected. There will be no excuse for a third strike. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Courage and compassion overcome cowardice by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When they said “no,” I knew it was not a drill. The “no” came in response to my request the morning of Feb. 21 to quickly grab my sweatshirt, hanging in a locker at the St. Paul Jewish Community Center. About 20 of us had been exercising there. Suddenly, JCC staff told all of us we needed to leave the building – “Now!” As we walked out, we were accompanied by little children. Some walked. Some were wheeled out in baby buggies or cribs. It was quite a crew on the sidewalk, from infants to people I’d say were well over 70. The JCC staff smiled and explained we were going to visit the firefighters. We walked half a block to St. Paul Fire Station 19. The firefighters warmly welcomed all of us – the children, the seniors, the JCC staff. They moved one of their trucks to provide room and put down mats on the concrete floor for the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan children to sit on. Then two of them, Martha Fecht and Todd Hanson, began giving the youngsters a demonstration of what firefighters wear when they go to a fire. The children were fascinated. After the demonstration, firefighters brought out a video player and arranged for the youngsters to watch a movie. Firefighters also gave the youngsters a snack. Everything was calm and positive. After about an hour, I left, as I had an appointment. Walking back toward my car, I saw seven or eight police cars around the JCC. One policeman explained that he was sorry but I would not be able to go into the JCC for that sweatshirt.

Later that day, newspapers reported that there had been a bomb threat at the JCC. Some individual or group of cowards had called it in. Apparently, this has happened throughout the country. The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who threatened to bomb the JCC’s. “It is the duty of American Muslims to offer support to the Jewish community and any minority group targeted in the recent spike in hate crimes nationwide,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a press release, found at http://bit.ly/2mck8iO. Steve Hunegs, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, told me by phone there has been “a wonderful reservoir of support” from community members for Jewish people. Political leaders, including St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and President Donald Trump, had condemned anti-Semitism. These statements are welcome. But

what most impressed me was the calm courage of the JCC staff and the compassion of the St. Paul firefighters. Richard Ritter, a St. Paul firefighter and paramedic, told me that the firehouse is a “safe haven” for anyone in need. My hope and prayer is not just the firehouse but America can continue to be a “safe haven.” We can’t and won’t solve all the world’s problems. But creative collaborations, like those between the JCC and St. Paul Fire, help. And with the kind of courage and compassion I saw displayed, we will challenge, reduce and someday, overcome prejudice, cowardice and hatred. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, is director of the Center for School Change. Reactions are welcome at joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters Huge problems with these ideas To the editor: In an interview published Feb. 23, U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis proposes that the Affordable Care Act should be replaced with interstate health insurance policies paid for by tax credits based on age. There are huge problems with these ideas. Currently, health insurance is regulated on a state by state basis in accordance with the 1945 McCarran Ferguson Act. Thus, if a California health plan wants to compete in Minnesota, it will be subject to Minnesota’s health insurance requirements. For Lewis’ interstate plan to work, it would require federal oversight. And permitting coverage to continue when a person moves to another state is useless when the medical network offered by the plan in Minnesota does not exist when the

person moves to California. Lewis’ plan permits individuals to choose the coverages they want. The purpose of insurance is to spread the financial risk of health issues across the population covered by the plan. Without mandatory minimum coverages, spreading the risk is not achieved which results in adverse selection, higher costs, and market instability. Paying for health care with tax credits based on age isn’t a better plan. Middle-aged people already have higher health care costs so returning to age rating means even higher premiums. Besides, a tax credit does not help anyone who can’t afford to pay the premiums in the first place. And it certainly does not help those who file no tax return. Finally, Lewis does not address eliminating lifetime caps, combining insurance pools to spread costs, block grants for

Medicaid or negotiating Medicare drug prices. Mr. Lewis should follow through on his promise to hold a town hall. He could learn a lot by listening to his constituents on health care as well as many other issues that Congress is debating now. He can’t represent us if he refuses to listen to us.

Don’t mind the weather? To the editor: Recently, I’ve been engrossed in reading about ecological systems, and I learned that spring ephemeral plants — plants that begin and complete their entire growth and reproduction cycles before the time that canopy trees “leaf out” — such as wild onions, are vital in nutrient retention for forest communities. This is so because spring snow-melt and rain events wash over

the previous year’s decomposing leaf litter, washing away vital plant nutrients into streams and rivers before the ecological community is awake enough to absorb and recycle these nutrients back into living matter (potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, etc.). Spring ephemerals put a plug in this springtime drain, and to significant effect. Plants such as ramps have adapted to take advantage of both the abundant sunlight and readily available nutrients of early spring, and by doing so they actually help out the entire ecological community by preventing the leaching and encouraging the recycling of community’s hard-won nutrients (nutrients accumulated over thousands of years; mined by plant roots from the bedrock, and/or collected from the atmosphere by plant’s leaves). As I was walking through the woods of Lebanon Hills Regional Park last week, I excitedly looked on the ground for tender green evidence of these spring ephemeral plants. We found none; mid-February is simply too early for our shortlived friends to wake up from their lengthy slumber. What we did find was many a puddle and rivulet, en route, carrying particles of sand and mud to lower ground. The question we’re left

with: what will happen to this ecosystem? Will there be a net loss of nutrients? Will the spring ephemerals quickly adapt and wake up mid-February next year? If they do, will their exposed bodies be killed during a March cold-spell before they finish their cycle? We can’t be sure. How can our human communities adapt to changing and unstable conditions, like the spring ephemeral must if it is to survive and thrive? In the obscure face of climate change, what are the building blocks that we need for the assembly of a resilient, just, inclusive and healthy future? RYAN FRANKE Eagan

Health care questions

mented by a Republican governor, Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. When the Democrats put that idea into the ACA, the Republicans rejected it. Now that they have the power to repeal (or “replace” or “repair,” depending on who’s talking), what have they come up with? As far as I can tell, here’s the GOP’s so-called solution for health insurance. First, let the forprofit companies sell insurance everywhere, which means paying lawyers to negotiate with providers everywhere. (That would probably also cause more confusion for consumers trying to determine what’s “in network.”) Next, let insurance companies avoid the high risk consumers, i.e., the costly ones, by putting them into a special government insurance pool. And, finally, perhaps provide some people government assistance to pay for premiums. In short, they want to use our tax dollars to help insurance companies and shareholders make money. As a sole proprietor, I’ve been purchasing individual health insurance for more than 20 years. Personally, I’d much rather have my premiums put toward health care for all, and not healthy profits for a few.

To the editor: U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis says he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act yet keep the “popular provisions”: covering people with pre-existing conditions and letting children up to age 26 be covered by their parents’ insurance. Well, those are also the expensive provisions, which is why some insurance companies are withdrawing from the market. It only works if everyone is required to buy health insurance — which, one may JUDITH NOLLET recall, was a plan origi- Eagan nally set forth and imple-

District 196 graduation rates increase, gaps decrease for students of color The overall graduation rate for students in Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District 196 high schools increased from 90 to 92 percent from 2015 to 2016 and the gap in graduation rates between white and non-white students decreased for all but one subgroup of students, according to data released by the Minnesota Department of Education Feb. 23. Of the 2,058 District 196 seniors included in the state’s 2016 graduation data, 1,890 or 92 percent graduated, defined by the state as completing high school in four years. Of the students who did not graduate, 6 percent were continuing school and 2 percent had dropped out. The statewide graduation rate in 2016 was 82 percent, the same as 2015. The state’s goal by 2020 is for school districts to have a graduation rate of at

least 90 percent for all students and at least 85 percent for each subgroup of students. In 2016, District 196 met the state goal for all students and four of the eight subgroups, including Asian/Pacific Islander, white, black and Hispanic students. In District 196, the graduation rates for: • American Indian/ Alaskan Native students decreased from 80 percent in 2015 to 71 percent in 2016 (statewide 53 percent); • Asian/Pacific Islander students increased from 90 to 95 percent (statewide 84 percent); • Black students increased from 78 to 85 percent (statewide 65 percent); • Hispanic students increased from 72 to 86 percent (statewide 65 percent); • White students remained at 93 percent (statewide 87 percent); • Students receiving

English Learner services increased from 72 to 81 percent (statewide 63 percent); • Students receiving special education services increased from 62 to 72 percent (statewide 61 percent), and • Students receiving free or reduced-price school meals increased from 75 to 83 percent (statewide 68 percent). The graduation gap for American Indian/Alaskan Native students in District 196 increased from 13 percent in 2015 to 22 percent in 2016 and the graduation rate of Asian/Pacific Islander students exceeded white students by 2 percent. The graduation gap between white students and all other subgroups of students in District 196 decreased last year: • For black students, from 15 to 8 percent; • For Hispanic students,

from 21 to 7 percent; • For students receiving English Learner services, from 21 to 12 percent; • For students receiving special education services, from 31 to 21 percent, and • For students receiving free or reduced-price school meals, from 18 to 10 percent. After seeing graduation rates dip slightly from 2013 to 2015, early last school year Superintendent Jane K. Berenz asked the district’s high school administrators what they needed to be more intentional in identifying and supporting seniors who were at risk of not graduating on time, the district said in a press release. The district provided the high schools with some additional funding to support their efforts, which included credit recovery courses during and after school and in some cases on Saturdays,

and one-on-one tutoring and work completion support. Teachers were also encouraged to give grades of “incomplete� instead of Fs to give more time to students who were close to completing the required coursework. “The focused and intentional efforts of our caring administrators and teachers paid off for many of these students who otherwise might not have graduated on time or at all,� Berenz said. “We are proud of the increases achieved last year among all groups of students and are continuing our targeted efforts this year with seniors and juniors who are at not on track to graduate in four years.� Apple Valley High School has been providing an hour of support weekly for a group of 25 seniors who were at risk of not graduating when the

school year began. By the time third trimester begins in mid-March, school leaders hope to have most, if not all of them on track to graduate this spring. The graduation rate of male students in District 196 increased from 87 percent in 2015 to 89 percent in 2016, compared to 79 percent statewide, while the graduation rate of female students in District 196 increased from 93 to 95 percent, compared to 85 percent statewide. The overall graduation rates for each of the district’s four, four-year high schools in 2016 were as follows: Apple Valley High, 93 percent; Eagan High, 96 percent; Eastview High, 97 percent, and Rosemount High, 92 percent.

Eight years ago, Nancy Swerdling heard the words that no one should have to hear. That was when her doctor told her: “You have a brain tumor.� “I can’t begin to tell you what I thought at that time because my mind went totally blank with fear and disbelief,� Swerdling said. “With an infant at home this was not something that a healthy 29-year-old woman should hear.� Shortly after receiving this news, the Lakeville resident had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. “Going into surgery, I was told that the life that I knew was over and I would come out of surgery with severe, permanent deficits,� Swerdling said. “I was one of the lucky ones, I survived the surgery and within hours of being returned to my room, I was amazing my neurosurgical team with motor skill capabilities that should have been literally impossible given the amount of brain tissue that had been removed.� After extensive physical therapy and support during the early months of recovery, Swerdling is well-functioning and leads an active life. “I live knowing the horror of being diagnosed with a brain tumor and with the fear of regrowth,� she said. “I know that I am blessed, and that many others do not find the same successful results from their brain tumor treatments.� She said she wants to use her good for-

tune to help support the local brain tumor community as they fight the terrible condition. Swerdling, her friends and family have organized Bowling for Brains — a fun, family friendly event that raises awareness and funds for brain tumor research and patient services. The group organized the event — which will be held 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday, April 23, at Brunswick Zone in Lakeville — with the idea that people of all ages and abilities can bowl. Bowling for Brains also offers a silent auction, raffles, food, prizes, costume contest and more. The event has grown to have an official committee, which includes those who have been affected by a brain tumor in some way. The volunteer planning committee includes Lakeville residents Stacy and Chad Zwerdling of Lakeville, Amy Boettchers, Jenn Diadoo and Steve Diadoo, Jeanne Gauger, and Jill Olson, along with Donna Schnerk, and Meredith Voltin. The goal of the event is to bring those who have been affected by brain tumors together and make the average person feel as though they are contributing to the awareness of brain tumors and the work of the American Brain Tumor Association. For more information, go online to bowlingforbrainsmn.org or email stacy. zwerdling@bowlingforbrainsmn.org.

The 360 Communities Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness Luncheon was attended by 330 people representing law enforcement, elected officials, members of the violence prevention movement, and concerned citizens. The program included guest speakers Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman (below, left) and Gender Violence Institute co-founder Chuck Derry (upper right in group photo). The theme was “Out of the Shadows and into the Light.� Speakers talked about how to engage others as allies in a world when there is more media coverage of domestic and sexual violence. 360 Communities honored First Sgt. John Thompson (below, right) of the Minnesota National Guard with the Community Caring Award, in recognition of his work to end domestic and sexual violence. Thompson is a sexual assault responder in the Guard and also volunteers with 360 Communities as a sexual assault services advocate. He is pictured with 360 Communities Director of Violence Prevention Ann Sheridan and 360 Communities President and CEO Jeff Mortensen.

Forum to address heroin, opioid use A community forum moderated by former Lakeville Police Chief Tom Vonhof to discuss combating heroin and opioid abuse will be held March 13 from 6:45-8:30 p.m. at Lakeville City Hall, 20195 Holyoke Ave. The event will feature information from an addiction specialist, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom, a Lakeville police of-

ficer and a recovering heroin addict. Resources for prevention and treatment will be available in the City Hall lobby prior to the event start, from 6-6:45 p.m. Statistics show more than 70 percent of heroin users start out by using prescription pain medications. Opioid and heroin use has become an epidemic in

America. In the U.S., with only 5 percent of the world’s population, Americans consume 80 percent of the world’s opioid painkillers. More than 325 people died in Minnesota in 2015 as a result of heroin and opiate pain relievers, 23 of them from Dakota County, and the numbers continue to rise. The fastest growing group

of heroin users is young, middle class men and women from the suburbs. The event will be recorded and broadcast live. It is sponsored by Lakeville Rotary in partnership with Lakeville Police, Lakeville Area Public Schools and Dakota County Attorney’s Office.

Achievement, integration strategies described District 196 aims to bring more perspectives in curriculum by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Achievement and Integration strategies are being assessed in the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District through test scores, graduation rates and other data. For Integration & Educational Equity Coordinator Carita Green, one important measure often doesn’t show up in statistics. It’s found in the stories of each student. It’s reflected in the three graduates who emailed her a photo of them meeting together as University of Minnesota students still using the AVID support model for students in the academic middle. It’s found in another graduate who was ready to drop an AP psychology class in high school but persevered after working with Green and the teacher to overcome her stumbling block. As a college student, she told Green she was excelling in psychology. It’s seen in the way a student who became blind after a medical issue had the support of a multicultural family advocate, teachers and family to continue to advance in elementary school. With a population of more than 28,000 students, the district has stories like these developing each day through programs advanced by state AI funds, which totaled $4.3 million this academic year based on various racial and econom-

ic demographic data. (See related story from Feb. 17.) Though AI funding comprises about 1 percent of the district’s total annual budget, it aims to have a big impact on student success. This followup story will look as some of the specific strategies of AI funding and how they are attempting to reduce the achievement gap between white and minority students and the test score disparity between students who receive free and reduced price lunch and those who do not. A future story will look at an analysis of test score data.

In the classroom While more than 50 percent of AI funding supports transportation and programs at the district’s magnet schools, which has led to a greater racial balance in the schools, other continuing efforts include curriculum development, staffing for 10 multicultural family advocates and a 2017-18 plan to have Equity Partner stipends for staff at each school. In recent years, district staff have undergone cultural proficiency training, which aims to help teachers encourage student participation by empowering them to share their diverse perspectives. “Cultural proficiency helps you understand why you are doing those tips,� Green said. “It is learning not from the outside in, but from the inside out.� Past training efforts have helped teachers learn specific ways to integrate different cultures into the curriculum (i.e. tips), but cultural proficiency helps change a mindset, according to Green In recent years, for ex-

ample, teachers have included a wider range of literary works into an English curriculum, and cultural proficiency helps teachers recognize cultural aspects in the works to bring into the discussion. Green says when students see themselves in the curriculum they can learn more about their own heritage and that of others. “When you value diversity, it not only benefits students of color but it benefits everyone,� Green said. “It makes for a more interesting end product.� Research has shown that a curriculum that includes more cultural perspectives results in students who participate more in class, earn better grades and score higher on standardized tests. Teachers have to create a safe place in the classroom where participation is encouraged and supported in order for students to find value in their own work and progress. She used the “community� classroom unit of study in elementary schools as an example. Since the early grades keep the same group of students together throughout the school day, the classroom “community� structure is an important building block for success in academics, according to Green. Green said teachers show the young students that: “This is our community. This is how we work together. Differences actually help to bring that out.� She said students should feel “whole and valued� so they can succeed. “You have to dig in deep,� Green said. “You

have to get know each individual in the classroom.� While teachers were already making these connections with each student, Green said that cultural proficiency helps teachers see the class from each student’s perspective. The district will be tracking test scores and other data to see what impact the changes will have. “It is going to take time,� Green said. “It is different from what we have learned in the past.� Equity Partners To build off the district’s use of 10 multicultural family advocates, who have worked in the district’s 35 schools in recent years helping diverse students and their parents navigate school operations, any challenges and academic hurdles, Equity Partners will start their work in the 201718 school year. Equity Partners is modeled after a program in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District that allows a current staff member a 0.2 full-time equivalent stipend to serve as an equity resource for staff and teachers. The staff member will endeavor to ensure there is a consistent application curriculum changes based on the AI strategy. They also will serve as a resource in addressing topics of concern in classrooms, Green said. As the district surveyed teachers through the AI program update, many were saying that they were having difficulty addressing uncomfortable situations based on diversity when they surfaced in the classroom, according to Green. That’s when the Equity

Partners idea surfaced. “We want to help them understand how to communicate with students in an appropriate way,� Green said. Green said the Equity Partners will have a positive influence in the schools since they will be a current staff member who is there throughout the school day, along with already understanding the school’s culture and its staff and students. Another way in which they are going to help out is encouraging diverse students to get involved in students groups and cocurriculars with an academic focus. A September 2016 review reported that a Texas A&M study called Project Achieve found “there is a definite effect of participation on important outcomes like reading and math achievement, course grades, sense of belonging to school and academic self-concept.� The district aims to capitalize on such outcomes. The district’s multicultural family advocates communicate with parents of diverse backgrounds on a regular basis. The district, in which there are 100 different languages spoken, will use AI funds to endeavor to improve its communication with Spanish- and Somali-speaking families in two elementary schools. A pilot project for 201718 will make all print and online communications available in Spanish and Somali at Oak Ridge and Echo Park elementary schools. Oak Ridge School of Leadership, Environmental and Health Sciences is located in Eagan, and Echo Park School of Leadership, Engineering and Technol-

ogy is in Burnsville. Communication with parents in the early years is an effort to get them involved in their child’s learning, which the district aims to improve upon in the 2017-18 AI program. Improved communication in the elementary schools aims to lead to more parent participation in homework, school projects and volunteerism. Green said there are many strategies teachers have used to improve homework success and parent engagement. Some teachers have flipped their classroom and allow students to do their “homework� in class and send information home that supplements the learning through reading assignments. She said increasing number of retired District 196 teachers are volunteering in schools after classes are done for the day to help students with homework. In Rosemount Middle School, students can stay after school to get homework help with the reward of having time to play in the gym after their work is done. Brad Shafer, assistant administrator and athletic director at the school, said the program has been very successful. AI funding has been consistent in the past three years. District 196’s funding was $4.03 million in 201516, $4.3 million in 2016-17, $4.5 million for 2017-18. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Lisa Mozingo said the center would like to permanently add the suits to one of their learning centers. “I wrote Monkey Do Good as a way to empower my daughter,� Josh Mozingo said, “and I hope that it can be used as a tool for other parents.� Currently, the only place to reserve a book and matching Storysuit is through a Kickstarter campaign. Storysuits has been featured on Kickstarter as a “Project We Love.� Backers can choose to support the project with a variety of reward tiers including: product donations, discounted products, retail packages and original art. The campaign goal is to reach $30,000 by March 20. For updates on the Kickstarter campaign, news and information, follow Storysuits on Facebook, Instagram or visit www. storysuits.com.

The book and its Storysuits have been tested with children at a licensed home childcare provider. “The suits were amazing and they loved the book,� said center owner, Lisa Mozingo. “Even after hours of wearing them, it was still a struggle to convince them they needed to turn back into a person and take off their suits. Their imaginations soared and they were saving all of their stuffed animal friends from danger.�

Sports Panthers stand up under the spotlight No. 1-ranked North takes state gymnastics title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Delaney Gipp has faced a lot of premier gymnastics competition, but the state high school meet brought a degree of pressure the Lakeville North junior had never encountered. “Regular-season club meets aren’t super nervewracking, but I was really nervous coming into this,” Gipp said Friday after the Panthers won the state Class AA championship. “I didn’t want to let my team down.” Gipp is one of three gymnasts – ninth-graders Anna Altermatt and Rachel Steiner are the others – who joined North this season after previously competing for a club gymnastics program in Chanhassen. They joined a Panthers team that had Ashley Goodlund, Indya Volk and Heather Nelson returning from a team that qualified for state last year. Their talent was quickly evident as North took the top spot in the state Class AA rankings. But the team concept took some getting used to. The new North gym-

Lakeville North could be the Class AA favorite again next year as Nelson is the only member of the team who will graduate this spring. “We have a really young team. They’re really enthusiastic and ready to come back and do the best they can again next year,” Homan said. After her first season of high school gymnastics, Gipp sounded as if she was ready to sign up for more. Joining the team was a difficult decision, but “I went to a practice to see what it was like, and it was a really fun atmosphere,” Gipp said. “The teammates were awesome and the coaches were awesome. This is such a close team. When you win, it makes it so much better to share it with all your friends.”

Individuals

Four gymnasts from Lakeville North and three from Lakeville South competed in the Class AA individual meet Saturday at the University of Minnesota.

Cougars, Panthers duel for spot in state hockey

North’s Trepanier pursuing more state medals

Section 1AA boys final is Thursday in Rochester by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Lakeville team will play in the state boys hockey tournament next week, making it the seventh time in eight years the city is represented in Minnesota’s premier high school sports event. But, which Lakeville team? That will be determined Thursday when Lakeville North and Lakeville South play for the Section 1AA championship. Faceoff is 7 p.m. at Rochester Recreation Center. North and South are the section’s top two seeds, and proved in the first two rounds of the playoffs they are the section’s two best teams. Lakeville North rolled past its first two playoff opponents by a combined 19-2. Lakeville South outscored its first two section opponents 152. Lakeville North (20-52) is seeking its third victory of the season over Lakeville South (17-9-1). The Panthers, who tied for second in the South Suburban Conference, defeated the Cougars 3-2 in overtime Jan. 12 at Hasse Arena and 6-2 on Feb. 7 at Ames Arena.

North qualified for state three years in a row from 2013-15, culminating with its Class AA state championship in 2015. The Panthers’ streak was broken by an upset loss to Farmington in last year’s Section 1AA final. Lakeville South is trying to qualify for state for the first time since 2012. A Lakeville team has won the Section 1AA championship 11 of the last 15 years, dating to Lakeville High School’s 2002 title. The last time the two Lakeville teams met in the Section 1AA final was 2013, with North winning 6-3. The Panthers jumped on Owatonna with a fivegoal first period on its way to a 10-2 victory in the first Section 1AA semifinal Saturday in Rochester. Senior forward Henry Enebak had a hat trick and two assists for North, which outshot Owatonna 48-9. Tommy Klans had two goals and one assist, Blake Brandt had a goal and two assists and Keaton Pehrson picked up four assists for North. Enebak scored three times and Spencer Schneider twice in the Panthers’ 9-0 victory over Dodge County in the quarterfi-

around standings with 35.65. Champlin Park eighth-grader Chancey Neu scored 38.50 to win the all-around championship. Steiner was runnerup to Neu on floor exercise, scoring 9.675 to Neu’s 9.725. Altermatt placed 12th in the event with 9.475 and Gipp was 15th with 9.375. Lakeville South sophomore Kari Wenzel finished 20th with 9.35. Wenzel earned a state medal on balance beam with a fifth-place score of 9.45. Her South teammate, junior Mykaela Doornbos, was eighth with 9.425. North’s Gipp was 12th with 9.25 and Steiner was 22nd with 8.875. Steiner added another state runner-up medal on bars, scoring 9.75. Roseville senior Olivia Rosenow had the same score but won on a tiebreaker. Altermatt scored 9.6 to place fourth. Goodlund finished 15th with 9.425 and Gipp was 31st with 7.75. Steiner placed fourth on vault with 9.625. Altermatt was 11th with 9.5. Lakeville South junior Ally Doornbos finished 30th with 9.15.

Bauer finished with two goals and one assist, and defenseman Sam Malinski had a goal and two assists. Lakeville South had

a 49-14 shots on goal advantage over Farmington, which finished 9-17-1. South breezed to a 9-0 victory over Rochester Mayo in the first round, with Bradley Golant, Josh Ess, Jake Oelrich and Cory Checco scoring two goals each. Oelrich also had two assists for a four-point night. The North-South winner will play in the state Class AA quarterfinals March 9 at Xcel Energy Center. Seedings and

first-round pairings will be determined during a conference call Saturday. Lakeville North, ranked eighth in Class AA by Let’s Play Hockey, could receive one of the top five seeds if it advances to state. Lakeville South, which is ranked 16th, probably would be unseeded.

After smashing two records at the Section 1AA boys swimming and diving meet, Lakeville North sophomore Andrew Trepanier looks to add to his medal collection at the state meet this weekend at the University of Minnesota. Trepanier had winning times of 20.81 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and 49.16 in the 100 butterfly at the Section 1AA finals Saturday in Rochester.

Steveson, Delich go into state undefeated North’s Sullivan seeks Class 3A wrestling medal for 4th consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley junior Gable Steveson and Eastview senior Mike Delich are among six wrestlers taking undefeated records into this week’s state tournament at Xcel Energy Center. Steveson, who hasn’t lost a high school match since his eighth-grade season, is heavily favored to win the Class 3A state championship at 285 pounds. He’s also ranked first nationally at that weight. He’s the two-time reigning Minnesota high school and Cadet World champion at 220 Steveson (35-0) pinned all three of his opponents in the Class 3A, Section 2 individual tournament last weekend in Shakopee. He was on the mat a total of 1 minute, 48 seconds in those three matches. Another top state contender at 285 is Willmar’s Brady Reigstad, who was second at state at that weight last year. Delich, who was fourth at state last year, returns for another crack at the 195-pound title in what likely will be his final weekend as a wrestler. SWIM, from 10A terfly). Trepanier, who also swam on two state-qualifying Lakeville North relays, finished second in the 50 and 100 freestyle races at state last year. This year he’s the No. 2 seed in the 50 freestyle behind defending champion Jordan Greenberg of Eden Prairie. Trepanier is the top seed in the butterfly, with defending champion Joshua Withers of Eden Prairie at No. 3. Eastview senior Sam Pekarek is seeded second in the 100 breaststroke, an event where he finished second at state last year. That could set up another duel with Minnetonka senior Corey Lau, who is the No. 1 seed and defending champion. Eagan’s Quenton Steffen is seeded

He has signed with the University of Minnesota football program as a preferred walk-on. He received a bye in the first round of the Section 2 tournament, earned a 5-2 decision over Rosemount’s Ezayah Oropeza in the semifinals and pinned Shakopee’s Abe Ngaima in the championship match. Moorhead senior Samuel Grove, state runner-up at 195 last season, also is in the tournament. Brandon Moen of Owatonna, who won the 195-pound title in 2016, will wrestle at 182 at state this year. The Section 2 tournament featured four of the top 11 teams in the state Class 3A rankings, including top-ranked Apple Valley and No. 2 Shakopee. Eleven Apple Valley wrestlers got out of the Section 2 individual tourney and into state. Three – Steveson, Kyle Rathman (138) and Jalen Thul (170) – were section champions. Eight more Eagle wrestlers were section runners-up, including five who won matches for true second. St. Michael-Albertville also qualified 11 individuals for the state tournament. Hastings sent nine

wrestlers to state through the Section 3 individual tourney. Also qualifying for state were Lakeville North senior Wade Sullivan, a top-three finisher at state the last three years, and Eastview senior Alex Lindstrom, his school’s career victories leader. Tenth-ranked Eagan sent four individuals to state through the Class 3A, Section 3 tournament. Farmington qualified three wrestlers through Class 3A, Section 1. Lakeville South senior Brady Bastyr advanced to state for the third year in a row and is one of three Cougars who were runners-up in the Section 1 tourney. The Class 3A individual tournament has eight wrestlers who were state champions in 2016. Apple Valley is the No. 1 seed in the state Class 3A team competition that takes place Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. The Eagles (19-2) face unseeded Minnetonka in the quarterfinals at 9 a.m. The championship match is scheduled for 7 p.m. Anoka, St. Michael-Albertville, Owatonna and Hastings are the other seeded

fourth in the breaststroke. Eagan also is seeded fourth in the 200 freestyle relay. The Wildcats, who won the Section 3AA team championship, are seeking their third podium finish at state as a team after taking the 2015 Class AA championship and placing third last year. Minnetonka has the top seed in six of the 12 events and appears to be the favorite for the Class AA team championship. Class AA diving preliminaries will be 6 p.m. Thursday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Swimming preliminaries are 6 p.m. Friday, with swimming and diving finals at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Crops Day will cover soils, irrigation, weeds and nitrogen management For the 11th year, Crops Day will bring University of Minnesota and agency specialists to Dakota County to share local research results and crop management strategies with producers and other agricultural professionals. Topics this year will include soil health and nitrogen fertilizer research, understanding corn root zone water use, the nitrogen fertilizer management plan in Dakota County, energy conservation, citizen involvement in local watershed planning and weed control. Crops Day will be held Wednesday, March 15, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Dakota Electric Association, 4300 220th St. W., Farmington. This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided, thanks to sponsorship by the Dakota Electric Association and Kimmes-Bauer Well Drilling. Drop-ins are welcome, but if possible pre-registration is requested for food-planning purposes. The Southeast Minnesota Irrigators Association will also hold its annual meeting after lunch. To RSVP, contact Jackie at 651-463-6319 or jbauer@dakotaelectric.com. Event schedule: • “Splitting nitrogen applications: When are they worth your time?,â€? Dr. Fabian Fernandez, nutrient management specialist, University of Minnesota Extension • “Rolling out the nitrogen fertilizer management plan in Dakota County,â€? Ron Struss, REACTION, from 1A enough,â€? Solinger said. “It needs to be clear to all families and students that this behavior will not be tolerated.â€? She quoted an email from one of her students that stated Lakeville South students have been called racial slurs at school and discriminated against by being told to go back home and students yelling “build a wallâ€? at them. “You can try and wash away the words that were written in these bathrooms today, but you cannot erase the racism and discrimination that’s in this world,â€? Solinger said, quoting the student’s email. Solinger said that while the student involved in the incident deserves understanding, she urged full recognition of racism and urged the district to listen to the

supervisor, Fertilizer Field Unit, Minnesota Department of Agriculture • “Understanding nitrogen best management practices for Dakota County,â€? Gregory Klinger, Ag Water Quality Protection University of Minnesota Extension • “Understanding corn root zone water use, evapotranspiration and yield,â€? Jeppe Kjaersgaard, research specialist, Minnesota Department of Agriculture • “Are you resistance ready? Weed control update for corn and soybeans,â€? Lisa Behnken, regional extension crops educator, University of Minnesota Extension • “Unlocking the secrets to soil health: Soil health tips for Dakota County,â€? Kristin Brennan, assistant state soil scientist/soil health specialist, USDA-NRCS • “Minnesota’s watershed strategy: Why should farmers in Dakota County care?,â€? Ashley Gallagher, resource conservationist, Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District • “NRCS, and FSA updates,â€? Michelle Wohlers, district conservationist, NRCS; and Scott Newberg, FSA • “Energy conservation programs,â€? Mike Plutowski, Dakota Electric Association • Lunch with the experts and trade show Crops Day is sponsored by Dakota Electric Association, Kimmes-Bauer Well Drilling, Southeast Irrigators Association, University of Minnesota Extension and Dakota County.

minority students. “They’re scared,� Solinger said. “They don’t feel welcome and it breaks my heart.� Self-described human rights activist Mel Reeves, Minneapolis, urged district officials to call an assembly and announce that racial slurs, racism and derogatory statements based on a group of people will not be tolerated, then design a “severe punishment� that everyone knows about to ensure the behaviors stop. “People respond to that,� Reeves said, “when they see that you’re serious.� He urged discussion on tolerance and called the situation an opportunity the district can take on and address. Luis Alvarez, a 2011 Lakeville South graduate, said he dealt with racism since moving to Lakeville when he was in eighth

grade. He said he and his family endured many racial slurs and if he tried to stand up for himself and other minorities, other students would reprimand him. Alvarez said the district should not treat the incident as a hate crime even though the student being disciplined for committing the act is of color with diminished mental capabilities. “Hate crimes should not be tolerated in any way, shape or form regardless of who you are,� Alvarez said. He said his home was vandalized because of his ethnicity and the words people said to him lingers for years after they are uttered. Alvarez said the district should require staff to attend the World Cafe event. The event is March 8 6-8:30 p.m. at Burnsville-

Grand jury indicts man in death of woman, unborn baby A Dakota County grand jury indicted Vern Jason Mouelle, 23, of Brooklyn Park, with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder after meeting from Feb. 22-24. Mouelle’s charges in the deaths of Senicha Marie Lessman, 25, of Eagan, and her unborn child, were upgraded to allege premeditated murder and murder with intent to kill. Both first-degree murder sentences carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The second-degree murder charges carry a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment for both. His bail remains at $2 million without conditions and $1.5 million with conditions. Lessman’s mother found her daughter unresponsive at around 3 p.m. Jan. 24 in Eagan. Eagan police and paramedics attempted to revive Lessman and saw what appeared to be a knife wound around her neck. Attempts to revive Lessman were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at the scene. She was 32 weeks pregnant. Her unborn child died as the result of her mother’s injuries. An autopsy by the Hennepin

Eagan-Savage School District’s main offices, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway in Burnsville, and is being held to gain input on equity and integration efforts. It was organized after more than 40 superintendents formed an ad hoc committee last fall to address equity and integration in education through an initiative dubbed “Reimagine Minnesota.� The districts are joining to design a new model of education to help all students succeed, noting Minnesota’s changing demographic composition. Anyone is invited to attend and can register at http://bit.ly/WorldCafeMN. District 194 School Board Chair Michelle Volk said she was glad people came forward and shared their stories. “Some people brought up some really good points,� Volk said.

County Medical Examiner revealed Lessman died of a knife wound or obstruction of her airway. “These charges reflect allegations that this was a premeditated and intentional domestic-related homicide which tragically claimed the life of Senicha Lessman and her unborn child,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a release. “Our deep sympathy is extended to the victim’s family and friends.� A neighbor described a vehicle parked in the driveway earlier that day that matched the description of one registered to Mouelle’s father. Mouelle was identified as the unborn child’s father. Officers located Mouelle and the vehicle at his place of employment. Officers found a receipt for a pocketknife inside the vehicle along with other empty packaging for the knife, and Lessman’s cellphone and bloody clothing, according to the criminal complaint. Backstrom thanked the Eagan Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for their investigation and the Brooklyn Park and Mounds View police for assistance.

After public comment ended, District 194 Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Emily McDonald met with many of the speakers outside the meeting to connect with all who shared concerns. A man standing nearby the group told them, “I’m so glad you’re in our schools,� and thanked them for speaking up. Snyder, who took notes while speakers were addressing the board, said she planned to bring up the comments with Lakeville South Principal John Braun when she met with him on Wednesday. She said a committee has been formed to address issues at Lakeville South. She said she appreciated the feedback and that the input is taken into account as the district moves forward, including as the district updates its plans for equity and inte-

gration. “This is not the first incident in our schools and we acknowledge that and expect to continue to respond appropriately to that,� Snyder said. “I think we want to expand the discussion. The March 8 Reimagine Minnesota event is an incredible opportunity to do that.� Communications Director Amy Olson said they are listening carefully and expect to continue conversations that help bring everyone together. “We’ll be continuing talks and looking at what our efforts are related overall to diversity and inclusion as we go forward,� Olson said.

Raymond “Rayâ€? W. Terwilliger Creative and Gentle Soul Ray completed his life journey on Feb. 18, 2017, surrounded by family and loved ones. Born Sept. 1, 1924, in Parker, SD, he was the third of four children of James H. and Emma Terwilliger. Raymond married the love of his life, Georgia D. Wiedenman, on Sept. 19, 1944, in San Diego, CA, while he was serving with the U.S. Navy. At an early age, Ray learned how to repair and build almost anything, and after his father died in 1937, he worked odd jobs and hired out as a farm laborer to help support the family. Following the end of WWII, Georgia and Ray farmed for several years in South Dakota, then resettled in Minnesota in 1953, later building the family home near Savage. He worked for 27 years at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, where he quickly rose in rank from building maintenance staff to Building Superintendent, a position he held until his retirement in 1982. His creative craftsmanship and impeccable work ethic were widely recognized and his skills were sought out for many especially challenging custom design projects. In 1982, he partnered with his son, Scott, in the founding of Sunray Wood Products, Inc. (later Sunray Custom Cabinets and Furniture). Ray’s talents, curiosity, and keen eye for design kept him creating art works well into his 90s. After his retirement, Ray spent his remaining years doing what mattered most – spending time with family, and immersing himself in his many creative pursuits, including iron work, sculpture, woodcarving, macrame, jewelry, stained glass, and designing and building scale models of boats, tractors and trucks. He was a master problem-solver and loved the challenge of designing and building the perfect solution to most any problem. He was an artist and crafts-person and we are blessed to be surrounded by his many pieces of art. He was the quintessential partner, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His greatest joy was time spent with family and he relished every opportunity to do so. Ray and Georgia enjoyed countless days of sailing on Lake Pepin, VKDULQJ DGYHQWXUHV ZLWK IDPLO\ DQG IULHQGV DERDUG ÂżUVW WKH Georgie Girl, then the Keokia, for nearly 20 years. They traveled throughout the U.S., and enjoyed many trips to the Hawaiian Islands to spend time with Charlene and her family. Although he enjoyed exploring the quiet corners of the world, he was most at home in his shop or on his sailboat. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, his inquisitive, creative mind, and his calm and caring presence. He has been a gift to his family, his friends, and to the world, and he will be sorely missed. He is at peace, and continues to bless our world with his spirit and his legacy. Predeceased by his wife, Georgia; his parents; and siblings, Doreen (Howard) Hanson and James (Jean) Terwilliger. Survived by his brother Gordon (Lieselotte) Terwilliger. He will be sorely missed by his children, Charlene (Cal) Hoe, Pamela (Sonny Haas) Terwilliger, and Scott (Peg) Terwilliger. He was immensely proud of his grandchildren Kala (Kapua) Hoe, Liko (Hoku) Hoe, Kawai (Kaiu’lani Murphy) Hoe, Brian (John Leaderbrand) Martodam, Craig (Sara) Martodam, Shana (Jeff) Schmidt, Alisa (Jim Carter) Martodam, Kelly (Matt) Davis, Kristofer (Ashley) Terwilliger, and Nikolas (Anthea Young) Terwilliger; and great grandchildren Kahiwa and Maile Emma Hoe, Ola and Ulu Hoe, Keenan Walker, Marla, Avery, and unborn baby Schmidt, Bailey, Blake, Brayden and Chase Davis, Kinsley Terwilliger, and Austin and Jade Terwilliger. A memorial service and celebration of Ray’s life will be Friday, July 21, 2017, 2-7 p.m., at Cleary Lake Regional Park Pavilion, Prior Lake. Memorials preferred to the Alzheimer’s Association or the charity of your choice.

Violinist Mary Edwards was among the 15 students from Burnsville-based Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music who performed Feb. 18 at the American Girl store in the Mall of America. The students were asked to perform there to mark the release of American Girl’s new doll Tenny, who is a musician. To thank them for playing, the store gave each of the students a Tenny doll. Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music offers private and group music instruction for people of all ages; more information about the school is at www.mnvconservatory.com.

TRUCKS, from 1A Inch Brewing, when they typically deliver 15 to 20 times per night. He said the lost business affects him and his employees, including servers who usually make tips by delivering food next door. Erickson said they are not trying to take business away from any of their retail neighbors. “We’re just looking for flexibility to have them down on the weekends,� Erickson said. “We don’t want to have something there every single day.� At the meeting, Lakeville Community Development Director Dave Olson said the city does not currently have an ordinance that addresses food trucks, although downtown is littered with those types of temporary businesses during events like Pan-O-Prog, the city’s two-week summer festival. Erickson presented several letters from patrons in favor of the idea. Lakeville resident and Angry Inch patron Andy Zetzman said food trucks will provide more choice for consumers, calling them “a staple at local breweries ever since the craft beer boom began.� Aaron Shand wrote he and his wife live south of the cities but work in Minneapolis where “there are more than enough food trucks AND restaurants.� He said they spend money on both options based on what sounds good to them depending on what they are “in the mood� for eating. Don Seiler, co-owner of Lakeville Brewing Co., which is located adjacent to Angry Inch Brewing and also serves food, spoke in favor of the proposal on behalf of him-

self and the other owners. “We encourage the city to find a way to come (up) with the regulation and means to allow that to happen,� he said. Seiler said they want to see downtown Lakeville thrive and believes more variety available to consumers will draw crowds. “Anyone who’s done any basic marketing knows, particularly in food and entertainment, the more choices, options and variety you provide a single destination, the more likely people will choose to go there,� Seiler said. He added they do not feel any threat to their business and estimated there is about $7.5 million spent outside Lakeville on food and entertainment that could be spent inside the city. Seiler said their business had no negative impact on the night there was a food truck parked adjacent to their business. “There was a lot of positive buzz,� Seiler said. He noted there was also an uptick in social medial presence. “We noticed a publicity bump for us,� Seiler said. “I think that’s a good thing. It think that’s good for all downtown Lakeville.� Richie was unable to attend the meeting, so his girlfriend Lisa Caulfield read and explained Richie’s letter outlining his concerns. Caulfield said food trucks are a great marriage with breweries, just not when they are located next to brick-and-mortar restaurants. Caulfield said they take their food truck to breweries where there are not other food options, calling it “common respect� to avoid parking a food truck in front of established restaurants.

Richie – who said starting a food truck cost him about $60,000 while the building was a $250,000 investment and about 70-80 hours a week of his time – amplified the point in a Feb. 23 Facebook post. Richie posted of picture of his food truck parked in front of City Council Member Brian Wheeler’s restaurant, Baldy’s BBQ, and facetiously announcing he was going to be “slinging phillies� in front of it. “Naaa just kidding!� the post said. “You know we wouldn’t do something like that.� Caulfield asked council members to consider how a coffee shop business owner would feel if a coffee truck parked in front of it, or an ice cream truck parked in front of Dairy Delite or if a beer truck parked outside Angry Inch and sold beer for $2 each. “All these examples sound pretty silly,� Caulfield said. “But it is our reality. We need to respect each other’s businesses.� Caulfield said cities are taking steps to protect brick-and-mortar businesses across the country, including instituting limitations to the length of time and location food trucks may operate. She said if food trucks are allowed to park outside of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, they will end up closing, the trucks will move on and downtown will be left with empty retail space and vacancy signs in the windows. Wheeler, who also owns a Baldy’s BBQ food truck, called the situation a catch-22. He agreed food trucks “create buzz� and draw people, but said they bring competition to established restaurants without the cost of own-

Heavy Metal Grill owner Marty Richie said his Feb. 23 Facebook posting of his food truck in front of Lakeville City Council Member Brian Wheeler’s restaurant was intended to highlight his point against the city allowing food trucks to sell near brickand-mortar restaurants as Jon Erickson and Josh Hebzynski, the owners of Angry Inch Brewing, have requested. The businesses are located next to each other in the same building. Neighboring Lakeville Brewing Co. owners, who also serve food with their beer, have stated support for proposal. ing and operating a brickand-mortar business. “People have invested lots of money into their restaurant,� Wheeler said. “Lots of time, lots of hours and employ more than two people. They employ lots of people and (they are) competing against that.� Council Member Luke Hellier said food trucks could help “creative vibrancy� downtown and draw new and different people there. He said he also wants to be sensitive to brickand-mortar businesses and consider how trucks would affect residential

neighborhoods. Council Member Bart Davis said if an ordinance is created, they need to be mindful of constituents and ensure it is applied uniformly across the city without favoring one business over another. Council Member Colleen Labeau said she sees both sides, but also expressed concern for the established business owner. “As someone who owns a business and knows what kind of taxes you pay, and the what kind of expenses you pay for brick-and-mortar, it’s a tough one,� she said,

Mayor Doug Anderson asked staff to provide the council an array of options that could include a parameters of where and when food trucks could be allowed to operate. “Maybe there’s a way we could get into this and not open it up the whole way, because I do hear the concerns,� Anderson said.
