Former student Exploration classes held at Cedar Park files suit against Lakeville School District Driver involved in car crash during Nerf wars game joins lawsuit against the district

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

four students were playing a “Nerf war” game, which was a factor in the incident, according to law enforcement officials.

The game includes student participants strategizing to “kidnap” other players in school parking lots in order to take them offsite. During the kidnappings students would often attempt to run away, which sometimes resulted in students chasing or wrestling each other.

On the day of the crash, Hughes was driving his family’s pickup truck. According to court documents, Hughes took his hand off the steering wheel to push a Nerf gun away after Flynn or Price reached from the back seat to grab it. This caused Hughes to veer over the centerline.

While attempting to move back into his lane on 225th Street West, Flynn or Price reportedly bumped him, which caused him to overcorrect and the truck went into a ditch, ejecting Price and Flynn while it rolled over multiple times.

It was reported that Hughes’ head struck the truck’s side window causing a skull fracture. Vertebrae in his back were also fractured. This caused Hughes to sustain a traumatic brain injury. He currently has permanent paralysis on the left side of his face.

The lawsuit states, “by allowing Nerf wars activity to occur on school property, particularly in the school parking lot, ISD 194 tacitly approved of this activity.” It also states the district was “negligent in failing to supervise its students.”

The lawsuit is seeking more than $50,000 for each of five counts of negligence.

A former Lakeville South High School student has joined a lawsuit against the Lakeville Area School District for injuries he suffered in a Nerf gun game.

The suit was joined by Alexander Hughes, 21, who sustained injuries from a car crash in 2015 when the vehicle he was driving rolled over multiple times. Two other Lakeville South High School students, Jacob Flynn and John Price IV, were in the vehicle as the time and did not survive the accident.

Hughes joins the lawsuit, which was filed by the parents of Flynn and Price in February 2018.

Mason Kohlbeck was also involved in the crash and survived with minor injuries. Hughes is claiming the district failed to protect its students.

Lakeville Schools released the following statement: “Lakeville Schools are part of the fabric of the Lakeville community and we continue to grieve for the loss of Jacob Flynn and John Price and are sympathetic to Alex Hughes for the injuries caused when he lost control of his pickup truck.

However, the auto accident that claimed Jacob and John and resulted in Alex’s injuries was in no way connected to a sanctioned or supported school activity, in fact the single vehicle rollover accident was over two miles away from the school after school was over for the week and appears to have been caused by the driving conduct of Alex Hughes and the behavior of the other young men in the pickup. Therefore there is no liability or fault on behalf of Lakev- Kayla Culver can be reached at kayla.culver@ecm-inc. ille Schools.”

The crash took place com. on Dec. 4, 2015, when the

Students work on bird feeders on Jan. 4. at Cedar Park Elementary STEM School. Kindergarten studetns rotated through five classes. First- and second graders met together in the morning and third- through fifth-graders met for an hour and a half in the afternoon, siad assistant administrator Shannon Gilmore. “Exploration classes are offered twice a year, and allow students to pick a STEM concept that they are interested in learning about over a three-day period andlearning with peers and teachers in other grade leveles,” she said.

Farmington home catches fire The Farmington Fire Department responded to a house fire in the 18600 block of Dunbury Avenue the morning of Jan. 3.

Firefighters received a call at 11:29 a.m. and arrived at the house four minutes after the page time.

According to a Facebook post, crews were able to contain the fire to the main level of the home and extinguish it.

Apple Valley and Lakeville fire departments assisted. Farmington Fire Chief Justin Elvestad said a total of 23 crew members responded to the call and the fire was under control by 11:43 a.m.

He added that people often ask why other municipal departments respond to calls, and it’s because Dakota County’s computer-aided dispatch system picks the closest

units.

“We’ve set that up to have the closest units respond, which is Apple Valley and Lakeville at times for some of the resources we don’t have. So it doesn’t have anything to do with the size of the fire.

“It was initial firstalarm for the structure fire. The fire was extinguished very quickly with the first arriving units on scene,” Elvestad said.

No injuries were reported. Farmington police officers rescued a dog prior to firefighters’ arrival and Allina medics attended to pets rescued from the home, but three family pets died in the fire.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Elvestad said the fire started in the home’s kitchen.

Apple Valley couple dies after snowmobile falls through ice Funeral services were recently held for an Apple Valley man and woman who died after their snowmobile fell through ice on a northwestern Wisconsin lake.

Timothy O’Brien, 57, and Kimberly O’Brien, 56, were remembered during visitation Jan. 4 at White Funeral Home in Apple Valley, a Mass of Christian Burial at the Church of the Risen Savior in Burnsville on Jan. 5, and a celebration of life at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville on Jan. 5. Kimberly was also remembered during a moment of silence at the Jan.

7 Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board meeting.

The O’Briens were riding on the same snowmobile Saturday, Dec. 29, when they fell through thin ice on Webb Lake in Burnett County around 9 p.m., according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Their bodies were recovered from the lake the following day, but the snowmobile was not. They had left from a nearby location where they had dinner and their destination is unknown, the DNR said.

KSTP reported that family members had re-

ported the couple missing after a call to their cabin went unanswered and was not returned. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office launched a search from the Oak Ridge Inn restaurant to the O’Briens’ cabin and the couple’s bodies were recovered after their helmets were seen.

Timothy, a graduate of Burnsville High School and St. John’s University, was employed with Tension Envelope for 35 years. Kimberly attended Cathedral High School in St. Cloud and is a graduate of the College of St. Benedict, their joint obituary said. Kimberly was

employed as a kitchen manager at Westview Elementary School in Apple Valley, according to the school’s website.

The couple had been married since 1988 and raised two children. They are survived by their children, Torry (Laura) and Maggie; Kimberly’s brother, Brandt (Cindy) Bowser; Timothy’s father, Tom, and siblings, Kelley (Don) Johnson, Kate (Gregg) Stevens and John (Nancy) O’Brien and 11 nieces and nephews.

Opinion Praise and an important question for Minnesota

by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

During this season of caring and sharing, Minnesotans can be proud of praise that our education system has received this year — Minnesota’s education funding system received a big compliment.

Since many Minnesotans are humble and understated, we can also consider how we’ll answer an important question raised this year involving Minnesota’s achievement gap, one of the nation’s largest.

Let’s start with applause: A February 2018 report published by the Education Trust, based in Washington, D.C., praised the way that Minnesota funds its public schools. Kami Spicklemire, the organization’s communications manager for P-12 education, describes the Education Trust as an “education advocacy and research organization focusing on equity from preschool through higher education.”

The February report ranked Minnesota third among 47 states in terms of “state and local resources (i.e. money) spent on students in the highest poverty districts” compared to the amount spent on students in districts with the lowest poverty. Nationally, the Education Trust found that on average about $1,000 (7 percent) less was spent on students in the highest poverty districts, compared to the most affluent district. In Minnesota, $2,242 (about 19 percent) more was

Staff Columnist Joe Nathan spent on students in the highest poverty districts.

The Education Trust also found that students in Minnesota districts with the most students of color received about $1,756 (14 percent) more than students in districts with the fewest students of color. Nationally, the Education Trust reported, “School districts serving the largest populations of Black, Latino or American Indian students receive roughly $1,800, or 13 percent, less per student in state and local funding than those serving the fewest students of color.”

This ranked Minnesota fourth among 43 states. (For technical reasons, not all 50 states were included).

Ivy Morgan, an Education Trust senior analyst and co-author of the report, told me by phone that “while money is not the only thing that has an impact on student success, Minnesota is doing something right to make sure that students from low-income families and students of color are getting more resources.”

The Minnesota section of the report is at https://bit.ly/2Bw8qYV — find the full report at https://bit.ly/2EVU2gY.

I asked Tom Melcher, Minnesota Department of Education’s director of school finance, for his reactions to the report. Melcher has worked on school finance for almost 40 years. He’s widely considered Minnesota’s most knowledgeable, unbiased school finance authority.

Speaking by phone as an individual, not representing MDE official policy, Melcher described the report as “pretty straightforward and accurate.” He listed several factors in Minnesota’s funding formula that produce these results, including legislative allocations of millions of extra dollars to help students from low-income families.

Melcher offered several examples of schools with significantly higher percentages of low-income students than the state average: — Anoka-Hennepin’s Evergreen Park World Cultures Community School, an elementary in Brooklyn Center: an additional $982,000.

— Lincoln Elementary School in Little Falls: an additional $349,022.

— Galtier Community School, an elementary in St. Paul: an additional $400,929.

Meanwhile, though having a lower percentage of low-income students, most schools still receive additional funds to help them. For example: — Anoka-Hennepin’s Andover Elementary School receives an additional $105,000.

— Sunrise River Elementary School in North Branch receives an additional $289,166.

While Minnesota can be proud of our funding approach, there’s plenty left to do.

Rep. Carlos Mariani, DFL-St. Paul, and director of the Minnesota Education Equity Partnership, wrote on Dec. 6 that “Minnesota’s education system regularly ranks among the best in the nation.”

However, he pointed out that Minnesota also has “one of the largest achievement gaps between white students and students of color” and “far fewer students of color graduating from high school on time or enrolling in college than their white peers.” (More information about MnEEP is here: https://mneep.org/.)

Several states have smaller gaps and higher graduation rates than Minnesota.

Some Minnesota district and charter public schools have great records on closing gaps.

In 2019, will we learn more from the most successful states and schools? I hope and pray that the answer is yes.

That way, while rightfully proud of how we fund schools, we’ll be much more satisfied with the results.

Letters Maye Quade served with integrity To the editor: As the 2019 legislative session opens in St. Paul, I’d ask District 57 residents to join me in thank-

ing state Rep. Erin Maye Quade for her outstanding public service for our community.

Erin Maye Quade epitomized the characteristics that define a great public servant. Humble, caring, concerned and

dedicated, she gives voice to the voiceless, and hope to the most vulnerable among us. Unafraid and unapologetic, she confronted intractable issues at the Capitol and in our community. She has shone a light on sexual harass-

ment, child hunger and gun violence. Her passionate determination to bring about change and improve the lives of people is a powerful example for all

of us to follow. I thank Erin for her service and for the encouragement and advice she has provided to me as I prepare to serve our community this

term.

Opinion Seeing our newly-elected officials as real people

by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Ever since Election Day, I’ve been thinking about our newly elected officials and considering they can be real people, too.

As a member of the Adams Publishing – ECM Editorial Board, I had the great honor to meet in person with the candidates for the state’s top jobs. If you were to believe the television attack ads, you would think they all were low-life scum.

When you get to talk with them in person, you conclude they are real people. Each has strengths, weaknesses and a unique personality. Some have great senses of humor that they cannot restrain. Some talk so fast you have a hard time following their conversations. Some individuals are petite. Others have an imposing physical presence.

Ilhan Omar, the first Somali-American to serve in Congress, is very bright and well spoken. She’s also funny. She came to the U.S. at age 12 and learned English on her own by watching television.

When I referred to a candidate who

Staff Columnist Peggy Bakken talked so fast we couldn’t keep up sometimes – well that’s Tim Walz, our new governor. He seems to have so many ideas and concerns he just can’t contain them.

Congressman Tom Emmer can control a room with his physical stature and booming voice. But he also sprinkles humor into his responses and shows incredible memory for detail, including an uncanny ability to address everyone by name.

These people are human beings. I sensed a common thread through all of them; they indeed do care about Minnesota and our country, and really do seek what’s best for everyone.

From afar, I observed similar traits on the federal level. When I watched George H.W. Bush’s funeral in early December, the Bush family showed their genuine devotion to family. I got a kick

out of watching George W., when he remembered to bring a piece of candy to Michelle Obama. (I also hear that No. 43 also loves to photo-bomb family portraits and has taken up painting.)

I spent a good chunk of Thursday, Jan. 3, watching C-SPAN, as the 116th Congress took over at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. It wasn’t the hardened politicians we saw that day, it was real people.

Children, babies and grandmothers swarmed through the hallways and chambers. Our new leaders were busy taking selfies, hugging comrades and enjoying the day.

I hope these same elected officials remember to “stay human” as they work through tough federal issues, get our government reopened and moving forward.

One phrase I heard many times during the 2018 campaign was that “everyone must have a seat at the table.” I think that’s a tremendous statement and one I hope everyone takes to heart. All people – all ages, races, men and women, Republicans and Democrats, progressives and conservatives – need to be at the table and part of the conversations.

I’m pleased to see that we have a more diverse representative group here in Minnesota and across the country. We have more women, more people of color and a variety of cultures in our elected leadership roles. That’s a very good thing.

However, I am concerned about what seems to be a deepening divide between urban and rural communities, here in Minnesota and across the nation. I want our newly elected state officials to make it a priority to listen to folks in Princeton, Caledonia and Freeborn as much as they listen to those in St. Paul or suburban Hennepin County.

The same goes for our federal leaders – they have an opportunity to pull divergent states and different viewpoints together. What is good for Minnesota should also be good for West Virginia or Alabama.

My dream is not only does everyone have a place at the table, but that every voice is respected and heard.

Letters Giving back To the editor: Outside of playing hockey for my school, I enjoy giving back to my community, especially in the sport that I love.

I remember when I was in Squirts and PeeWees, my friend’s older brother would come to help our team. I thought it would be lots of fun to give back to youth hockey like he did.

For the past six years, I have helped out hockey players at various levels including Mites, Squirts, and PeeWees. Over this time, I enjoyed working with the younger players, demonstrating drills, and leading them in pre-game warmups.

This winter, I volunteer my time every weekend coaching Mini Mite 1 hockey for the BurnsvilleApple Valley Firehawks Association where I teach players skating and hock-

ey skills. Our practices are divided into six stations, each comprised of a basic fundamental drill or game.

Whenever the skaters perform the drill correctly, I congratulate and praise them.

Recently, I have noticed these kindergarten and first-grade skaters seek me out during open skate to play with me and give me hugs. Before the holidays, I attached my dog’s Santa hat to the top of my helmet for decoration. When I was helping the kids step onto the ice, a player asked me, “Santa, are you the one who brings us presents every year?” I smiled and responded playfully, “Every year.” I think the players enjoy seeing someone from the high school team coming to help out, even though they eventually concluded I wasn’t the real Santa Claus.

I find this experience of giving back to the community rewarding because

I have made many connections with players in our hockey association through spending time with them on the ice. After coaching for such a long time, I have gained confidence in working with youth players. Over the years, I have learned that I enjoy coaching skaters and seeing them develop throughout the season ... and I plan to continue coaching for many years to come.

I encourage other high school players to get involved with their youth hockey associations because giving back is an amazing experience to help others learn to love this sport.

The Lakeville City Council held its first meeting of 2019 on Jan. 7.

During the meeting, new council members Michelle Volk and Joshua Lee were sworn in to their council seats and Mayor Doug Anderson started his second term. Council Member Luke Hellier was appointed as the 2019 acting mayor.

Volk and Lee both thanked their families and friends after being sworn in. They also said they are eager to get started as council members to work toward improving the city of Lakeville.

After the elections Lee said he is looking forward to building more relationships, opening lines of communication and meeting more of Lakeville’s residents. Lee said he got his start in increasing communication while campaigning, during which he visited over 4,000 Lakeville homes.

“From these conversations I believe I have a very balanced perspective of what is important to Lakeville, but I think it is important to continue open lines of communication. Moving forward I look forward to hearing more from the community. Regardless of if we agree, I can guarantee

The City Council also spared no time and got right to work approving

items on the agenda and receiving recognition for the staff ’s work in financial reporting.

Finance Director Jerilyn Erickson presented the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financing Reporting to the council members. According to Erickson, the certificate is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.

The award recognized the work done on the 2017 comprehensive annual financial report. Staff responsible for the work include Assistant Finance Director Julie Werner and senior financial analysts David Lang, Laura Miller and Thomas Nesseth.

In other action, the City Council designated Sun Thisweek Lakeville and the Dakota County Tribune as the city’s legal notice newspaper for 2019.

Council members also approved the replacement of the electronic message centers on the marquee sign at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. According to the report, the sign was first installed in 2001 and repair parts are no longer available.

The city was also informed it will be receiving approximately $135,486 in Community Development Block Grant funding in 2019. The funds are proposed to be used for providing programing at the Heritage Center, providing assistance to seniors with outdoor chores and minor home repairs, and funding the Lakeville LOOP. City Council meetings will continue to take place at City Hall on the first and third Monday of each month at 7 p.m.

The nominating committee has historically been comprised of seven members who are current or formerly elected local officials, plus the council chair as an ex officio member. To create more seats at the table for Minnesotans to help shape his administration, Walz expanded the committee to 12, including the chair and three additional ex officio members derived from the metropolitan community.

Walz requests the nominating committee publicly forward three candidates for each council district by Feb. 18 so that he can meet his statutory deadline of appointment by March 4.

The 12-member nominating committee, which recommends candidates for the Metropolitan Council to the governor, will host public meetings to accept statements from, or on behalf of, applicants for the positions.

The members include:

Robotics team creates wheelchair for local child Farmington team builds device for 2-year-old with limited mobility

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In many ways, Cillian Jackson is a normal 2-year-old. His parents, Tyler and Krissy Jackson, describe their son as a very curious, social child who is always smiling and laughing.

But Cillian also faces unique challenges, like limited mobility and speech difficulties. His parents have met with geneticists, neurologists and other medical specialists to figure out why, and have discovered that Cillian was born with a chromosome microdeletion.

This affects a specific gene, the NRXN1 gene.

Children born with this chromosomal deletion typically exhibit behaviors similar to people on the autism spectrum, his parents said. It typically doesn’t affect mobility, so they aren’t sure if there are other conditions causing Cillian to have limited mobility.

When looking into resources for their son, Cillian’s parents learned of a program called Go Baby Go that provides modified ride-on cars to children with limited mobility.

Unfortunately, the program didn’t have a hub in Minnesota. But then Tyler learned that high school robotics teams had helped with past Go Baby Go projects and decided to reach out to the Farmington team.

The team responded right away, Tyler said, and he and Krissy met with the team at their next meeting. After they showed the team some examples of past Go Baby Go projects and explained Cillian’s needs, the team got to work.

About three weeks later, before the high school’s winter break, the team presented the Jacksons with a sweet new ride: a modified Power Wheels car, adjusted to fit Cillian

Dakota County offers free radon testing kits Dakota County residents are encouraged to test their homes for radon during National Radon Action Month in January.

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in Minnesota soils. It has no color, taste or smell. It can enter homes through

cracks or openings in walls or foundations. It’s the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United States; more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon each year.

Testing is easy, inexpensive and only takes three

to seven days. Test results will be mailed to the home owner, and a county representative will follow up with the owner if the test indicates high levels of radon. Dakota County offers one free radon test kit per Dakota County resident at the following loca-

tions: • Public Health Department, fourth floor, Northern Service Center, 1 Mendota Road W., West St. Paul.

• Public Health Department, second floor, Western Service Center, 14955 Galaxie Ave., Apple Val-

ley.

A list of other test kit vendors and other radon information can be found on the Minnesota Department of Health radon website. The department also offers an interactive radon levels map.

Minnesota law requires

disclosure and information be provided to buyers about radon during Minnesota home sales. The law does not require radon testing or mitigation.

Another law requires that all homes built since 2009 include passive radon resistant features.

board budgetary restraint in Washington, including taxpayer accountability in my personal office. That’s why, as the 115th Congress comes to a close, I’m proud to say that I will be returning $50,000 of my unused MRA funds back to the U.S. Treasury.�

Craig The 116th Congress is off to a rocky start, as the federal government has been shut down with nonessential offices closed.

It has been reported that an estimated 800,000 employees are not working because Congress and the president are at odds over what funding to grant for border security in a continuing resolution to fund the government.

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, D-Eagan, said in a press release this week that she would not be accepting pay during the shutdown.

She said she would be donating her salary to The Open Door food shelf in Eagan and the Wabasha Food Shelf. “On my first day in Congress, my colleagues and I voted in a bipartisan, responsible manner to end this reckless shutdown,� she said in a press release. “Unfortunately, there are still thousands of federal employees in Minnesota without pay and services to the American people undelivered because the Senate refuses to take up the bill. I will not accept a paycheck during this or any shutdown until those services are restored and hard-working federal employees get their paychecks.�

She said she is working on legislation that would prohibit Congress from getting a paycheck during future federal government shutdowns.

The first bill that Craig introduced after she was sworn in on Jan. 3 aims to produce campaign finance reform and ensure voting rights. “I am humbled and honored to represent Minnesota’s 2nd District,� she said in a press release. “In Congress, my responsibility is to listen to everyone, and to work to find places of common ground that move our communities forward.�

Craig was joined during the swearing-in ceremony by her wife, Cheryl Greene, and their four sons, Josh, Jonas, Jacob and Isaac.

Sports Comeback helps Cougars keep pace in SSC hockey After being down three goals, boys skaters beat Eagan in OT

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Coming from three goals behind on the road and winning in overtime is the kind of victory that can change a season. Or so the Lakeville South boys hockey team hopes.

“We have to figure out how to play a complete game, and when we do that I think we definitely can play with anyone,” goalie Henry Welsch said.

Halfway through Saturday night’s South Suburban Conference game at Eagan, it looked like things would end badly for the Cougars, who trailed 3-0 and seemed to be on the receiving end of most of the hitting. But they scored four goals in the final nine minutes of the second period. Eagan tied the game in the first minute of the third period, but South won 5-4 on Jack Novak’s goal 2 minutes, 44 seconds into overtime.

“I know how Eagan plays. They’re always going to come and play hard and compete, and if we don’t match their intensity we’re going to be defeat-

Lakeville South defenseman Reis Calderon tries to fight off two Eagan players to reach the puck during the Cougars’ 5-4 overtime victory Saturday night at Eagan Civic Arena. ed,” said Janne Kivihalme, the Cougars’ first-year head coach. “The first period wasn’t our best period, but the kids responded and started competing hard, playing the game both ways. We were able to capitalize on some opportunities we had.”

Two goals by sophomore defenseman Jacob Malinski and one each

by Jacob Gunderson and Nico Aguilera in the second period turned a three-

goal deficit into a 4-3 lead.

So, what happened?

“We bonded,” said senior forward Adam Harvey, a captain along with Welsch. “Our coach kind of yelled at us, told us to get ourselves together, and we started playing our game. We worked harder and things just started going our way. The first goal was a big spark. It gave us a lot of energy on the bench.”

The Cougars also ad-

justed their forecheck, Welsch said, which led to more offensive zone time and eventually more shots.

Four of the five goals in the Eagan game were scored by sophomores.

Griffin Ludtke, another sophomore, had two assists.

Kivihalme, who came to Lakeville South in the off-season after 12 years as head coach at Burnsville, said he and his assistant coaches are still

trying to arrive at the Cougars’ strongest lineup.

Twenty-three forwards and defenders have seen action in varsity games, including a large number of sophomores.

“It’s a new experience for all of us, including the coaches, and the kids are responding well,” Kivihalme said. “We’re in the process of getting the kids to figure it out, giving kids opportunities to play, trying to see who can do it, who’s ready right now.”

One thing the Cougars have learned is their depth can be an asset. “We roll four lines,” said Harvey, the team’s leading scorer with 13 points through 11 games. “Not many teams do that in the entire state, but it helps us play at a fast pace because we’re well conditioned.”

Lakeville South is 6-6 overall, but the victory over Eagan kept the Cougars near the top of the South Suburban Conference. Lakeville North leads the conference at 7-1, with South tied for third with Rosemount at 5-2.

Winning the conference is something the South players view as realistic, Harvey and Welsch said.

“Eagan is one of the top three or four teams in the conference, so getting a win over them is always

Everything earned, nothing given in South Suburban Conference Conference leaders know the work is far from done

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

January is when many of the South Suburban Conference races take shape as some teams continue their push toward league championships and others start looking toward playoff redemption.

Here’s a quick look at three first-place teams in the South Suburban:

Boys hockey: Lakeville North Lakeville North nudged in front in the South Suburban when the Panthers beat Shakopee 6-2 on

Tuesday while their closest pursuers, Rosemount and Lakeville South, both lost.

North is 8-5 overall but 7-1 in conference games.

Prior Lake (6-3), Rosemount (5-2), Lakeville South (5-2) and Eagan (5-3) are the other teams above .500 in the league.

Lakeville North went through a stretch in December where it lost four or five games and was held to one goal or none in all of the losses. The offense began to stir in January.

Goals by Shane Griffin and Spencer Schneider broke a 2-2 tie in the second period of the Shakopee game.

Caden Smith had two goals for the Panthers on Tuesday, and Bobby Lebens and A.J. Anello also scored. Cole Pearson had two assists.

North battled its way past Farmington 4-3 in overtime in South Suburban play Saturday evening.

Schneider scored the winner at 5:18 of overtime; it was his second goal of the game. Griffin and Tommy Shandorf also scored, and Smith picked up three assists.

Things didn’t always go smoothly for the Panthers as Farmington (3-4, 4-6-1) rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the second period and skated off a five-minute disadvantage in the third. But the Panthers got through it, and now they’re on top of the conference. They play at Rosemount at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Sports Melting snow doesn’t deter local Nordic teams North, South send skiers to Mesabi East invite

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Unseasonably warm weather is evaporating snow throughout Minnesota, but that didn’t prevent two major high school Nordic skiing meets from taking place last weekend.

The ISD 196 program competed in the Loppet Invite at Wirth Park in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Burnsville also went to the Loppet Invite. Lakeville North and Lakeville South skiers went to the Mesabi East Invitational in Biwabik. Wirth Park has snow-making capability while Giants Ridge, site of the Mesabi East meet, still has plenty of natural snow – and natural cold.

Eagan, the one ISD 196 school that competes separately in boys Nordic skiing, finished fifth at the Loppet Invite. Eden Prairie took first and another South Suburban Conference school, Prior Lake, was third. ISD 196 (Apple Valley, Eastview and Rosemount) came in 15th and Burnsville was 16th.

Conference, from 15A pursuer.

One other reason Wilson doesn’t want the Wildcats taking anything for granted: Five of their 10 conference victories were by one goal, including a 2-1 overtime win over Lakeville South on Jan. 3.

Eagan outshot Lakeville South 39-16 but needed a goal by Jenna Ruiz at 1 minute, 50 seconds of overtime to pull out the victory. Emily Cronkhite scored in the first period and goalie Maddie Nickell made 15 saves.

The Wildcats play home games against Rosemount at 7 p.m.

Thursday and Shakopee at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Lakeville teams swim at Maroon and Gold meet

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Getting a first-place trophy at the Maroon and Gold Invitational was exciting enough for the Farmington boys swimming and diving program.

The fact they won the Tiger Division seems ... well, almost too perfect.

Farmington finished first in six of the 12 events in its division at one of the state’s strongest regularseason meets. That helped give the Tigers a 105-point margin over second-place Cretin-Derham Hall.

Fifty-four schools competed in four divisions in the Jan. 5 meet at the University of Minnesota’s Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. Edina took first in the Gold Division, which attracted what was considered to be the strongest field. Eagan placed 11th in the Gold Division. Lakeville North was fifth and Lakeville South 12th in

second in his division in 50.11.

Lakeville North scored 263 points to place fifth in the Maroon Division.

Zach Upham, Otto Belschner, Trepanier and Jack Soukup were fifth in the 200 medley relay in 1 minute, 42.77 seconds. Keegan Reim-Melin scored 192.10 points in diving to place fourth.

Employees have the option of donating through payroll deduction or a one-time donation.

“The employees stepped up to the challenge,” President and CEO Greg Miller said. “It’s nice we can raise a significant amount of money to support these great causes. My thanks to the committee for all their hard work.”
