Working to fight stereotypes Lakeville graduate influences a more positive perception of young workers by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Much like generations before, young professionals are working toward success as they leave college and start their careers. Lakeville North High School graduate Shayla Owodunni is currently a 27-year-old finance manager at Expedia in Seattle. She was recently chosen to be featured in the Wall

world. The former Lakeville resident never saw herself leaving Minnesota and originally planned on becoming a lawyer or working in advertising. She changed course while attending college to study finance and accounting, which brought age and Shayla Owodunni personality to the surface Street Journal as a voice of her identity. for young workers for her “When people talk impact in the corporate about millennials, there

are certain stereotypes people think of when they think of millennials in the workplace,� Owodunni said. Owodunni has mostly heard that millennials are indecisive and have entitlement issues. She believes every generation has a fair share of people who have entitlement issues and doesn’t see her generation that way. “I think my age group

sees a target we want to strive for, and we give ourselves a seat at the table. I don’t think it’s entitlement but more so the confidence to make things happen,� she said.

Woman builds Christmas village in home Jones commemorates nearly 30 years of Apple Valley memories with display by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Polar bears, Harry Potter, a skier and a snowboarder, a grizzly bear with attitude, a Santa soaring through the air in a plane — these are all things that can be found in Diedre Jones’ Christmas village. Every winter, Jones converts the perimeter of her dining room and part of her living room into a miniature world, including cities, mountains, a lake and a farm. The village has over 70 buildings, and more than twice that in figurines. “It’s kind of funny about the village. Sometimes people will come over and see it and say ‘Oh!’ and that’s it,� she said. “Other people will start at one end and go and look at everything.� Beyond the sheer size of the village, the most striking aspect is something that can’t be seen — the meaning and memories behind each piece. It all began nearly 30 years ago when her husband gave her a model brew house made by Department 56, a popular line of quintessential Christmas villages sold by Dayton’s and Marshall Fields. Jones was inspired to create her own in-home Christmas village by her mother, as she used to set up a small display in her home every year. After moving to Apple Valley in 1989, Jones’ husband started giving her pieces for her own village, and she began to accumulate a collection. In the beginning, people gave her pieces of the village as gifts. Her brother-in-law, a banker, gave her a bank building. One of her friends gave her a design studio building because Jones worked for 35 years as an interior

A figurine of people selling beer and pretzels, commemorating Jones’ trip to Munich, Germany, stands next to the brew house, the building that started her Christmas village collection almost 30 years ago. What stared as one building has grown into a display that extends around the edges of Jones’ dining and living rooms. designer for Horty Elving, now Wold Architects. Now that she’s retired, instead of designing the inside of hospitals and schools, Jones is designing the cities and landscapes that make up her village. “I like the sense of design and order and organizing and enjoying details,� she said. Jones accumulated several pieces on her own from a variety of places: Goodwill, garage sales, Menards, Michael’s and JoAnne’s. The plastic model train circling one of

the cities is from Rainbow Foods. Some of the buildings have a local tie, such as a schoolhouse labeled “Apple Valley School.’ Some are just for fun, like a small collection of campers in the forest scene. Other pieces are travel souvenirs, such as a figurine of a man and a woman selling beer and pretzels from her trip to Munich, Germany during Oktoberfest. She also has a figurine of the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels from her trip to Fatima,

Portugal, and boats from Amelia Island, where her parents used to go in the winter. Some pieces commemorate events, such as a figurine depicting the fire fighters after 9/11 and one of people ringing in the new century, holding a banner that says “2000.� After her dog died, she found a similar-looking dog figurine, a cross between a yellow lab and a dachshund, and placed him at the entrance of the Christmas village display as a way to welcome view-

ers. Jones usually sets up her village the day after Christmas. By now, she has developed a system. Sometimes her mom or sister hep her set it up, sometimes she does it alone, but the steps are always the same. The display extends across eight separate surfaces, so the first step is to supplement her dining room and living room furniture with folding tables. Then, she sets up the houses. Many have windows that light up or characters that move, and each has to be carefully arranged and connected to a series of power strips. She uses blocks of Styrofoam to create different layers and heights in the village, and covers the sides of the tables with white plastic table cloths to hide the cords before adding the figurines and plastic trees. Finally, she fills in the entire display with cotton “snow.� In addition to schoolchildren jumping rope outside of the school and nuns walking in front of a cathedral, the village features a deer licking a snowman, bears fishing and a penguin. Some of the buildings have characters built in to them, like Santa on a roof, a florist in her shop, a baker in the bakery and animals in the pet shop. Because the pieces are from a variety of stores and collections, Jones arranges them so that the bigger figurines are toward the front of the display. She said her Christmas village is more about including different memories than it is about having a perfectly coordinated display. That explains the relatively large, cast iron, horse-drawn fire trucks in front of the fire house. “They were my aunt’s, and when she died I took

them because, I mean, they are heritage,� Jones said. “They are part of your family.� Some things stay the same every year. Ebenezer Scrooge always goes in front of the bank, and a fancy model Wells Fargo carriage (once a bank for coins) goes in front of the opera house. The lighthouses always go by the lake. But other things move around, making the village new each year. “This is not a collector’s item — they aren’t all the same series — it’s a combination. It’s like someone’s memories,� she said. Although Jones doesn’t consider herself religious, she thinks the holiday season is an important time to celebrate generosity and being together with loved ones. “It’s all about family and giving – universal ideas. There’s so much that’s so secular about the holiday now, but it’s not bad because things are still about humans caring for humans,� she said. “And it’s also a time for memories.� Jones said she isn’t looking to add much more to the village because she is running out of room, but her collection continues to expand nonetheless. “When you are a collector, you can’t help it. You keep adding,� she said. “And once in a while, someone will still give me something.� With each new piece, her collection of buildings and figurines grows, but she says the real value comes from her collection of memories — the significance behind each piece — that expands every year as she sets up and displays the village for others to see.

Minnesota legislators step down, task force advocates step up Maye Quade, Port, Becker-Finn continue to push for creation of sexual harassment task force by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two Minnesota legislators resigned last week, following allegations of sexual harassment. Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-St. Paul Park, announced his plans to step down on Thursday, Nov. 21. Less than two hours later, Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, did the same. Cornish announced his plans to leave office as a way of taking responsibility for his actions. “As a proud former peace officer and longtime champion for public safety, I am forced to face the reality that I have made some at the Capitol feel uncomfortable, and disrespected,� he said in a statement. Schoen, on the other hand, continues to deny allegations. When his actions were first brought under the public eye, Schoen had said the accusations of sexual harassment were either “completely false� or “taken far out of context.� “I am hurt by these allegations but I take them seriously. It was never ever my intention to make an

Erin Lindsey Maye Quade Port inappropriate advance on anyone,� Schoen said in a statement. On Wednesday, Schoen’s attorney, Paul Rogosheske, threw a twist in his defense. He alleged that the sexual harassment accusations were politically motivated, saying that Schoen had been warned by his colleagues that sexual harassment allegations would arise if he ran for auditor — a position he’d publicly expressed interest in. He did not, however, disclose who made those threats. Schoen continues to claim innocence, but he’s decided to step down because he doesn’t feel he can be as effective anymore. He says he’s learned from the situation, and he hopes others can too. “It is going to take all of us to honestly communicate with each other, and to understand how a message is received is just

as important as the intent. No one can go through this kind of experiJamie Becker-Finn ence unchanged,� Schoen said in a statement. “I know this experience will be a lesson for me and I hope it can be used as an opportunity for a greater dialogue.� Both Cornish and Schoen apologized for the way their actions may have hurt others. Their actions came to light after several women went public with their own stories of sexual harassment. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and 2015 House District 56B candidate Lindsey Port — both of whom reported and publicly announced their stories of harassment — worked with Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFLRoseville, to call for the creation of a task force to address issues of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. All three women have made statements saying

they remain dedicated to creating the task force. In response to Schoen’s announcement of resignation, Maye Quade made a statement saying it wasn’t enough. “One senator’s resignation does not change the culture. I want to change the culture,� she said. After Cornish had also resigned, Maye Quade released a second statement, saying the resignations alone will not end sexual harassment — inside or outside the Minnesota Legislature. “Unless systematic and widespread changes are enacted, these behaviors and subsequent attempts to cover up instances of harassment will continue,� she said. In addition to making the State Capitol a safer and more respectful place of employment, she hopes creating a task force will allow legislators to share best practices with businesses and organizations across the state. “This work does not end when my personal workplace sees change. It is imperative we continue this conversation, execute consequences and implement new policies so the

server, the scientist, the sales clerk, the teacher, the journalist and the nurse see changes in their workplace, too,� she said in the statement. On the day Schoen and Cornish said they planned to step down, Port posted on her campaign Facebook page, announcing the release of her statement but saying she was heading to Ireland with her husband to attend a friend’s wedding. “Our energy is focused on changing the culture, and I look forward to continuing to work on that upon my return,� Port wrote in the post. Port said she wants to continue working toward justice and protection for victims of sexual harassment. “It brings me no joy to see Senator Schoen resign, but it does bring relief to see that we can hold people responsible,� she said in the statement. “We have a choice as a society to make the necessary changes to protect people in the workplace from harassment, and I’m hopeful that doesn’t end with a few resignations, but with a renewed commitment to stand together and say

‘No More.’ � Becker-Finn told the newspaper she agrees the resignations aren’t enough, and she will continue to push for the task force as well. “Although I’m relieved that Representative Cornish and Senator Schoen have resigned, it does not solve the underlying culture that allowed this behavior to occur and to continue for as long as it did,� Becker-Finn said. “I agree completely that a task force is still necessary to address these problems.� Cornish has agreed to leave office by Dec. 1, and Schoen has agreed to officially resign by Dec. 15. Gov. Mark Dayton said he will call for special elections to fill both open seats once he received the resignations in writing, and he hopes to have new legislators in place by the time the next session reconvenes on Feb. 20.

Cartoons and monster cereals Burnsville artist pursues book project on the side by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville artist Cedric Hohnstadt is raising money to publish a book of original cartoons he calls “Mostly Nonsense.� His day job has its own share of whimsy. Working from his basement studio, Hohnstadt was once hired to illustrate the backs of the “monster cereal� boxes — the General Mills products that include Count Chocula and Franken Berry. He also collaborated on two bonus characters, Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute, that made the front of the box. “And I’ve done one for Cocoa Puffs as well — I did the back of that cereal box,� said Hohnstadt, 45. After two decades as a professional illustrator, with three young daughters and a wife who chose to stay home raising them for 10 years, this artist is not starving. “If you’re a professional and a good business person, you can do OK as an artist,� said Hohnstadt, who counts the Hasbro toy company as one of his YOUNG, from 1A build relationships. She sees herself as having an outgoing personality and that is not what is typically expected of someone who works in finance and accounting. “Every company and department really needs communication, and I’ve wedged myself between (as an) educator of financial concepts and translating it to non-financial users, which is something I’ve seen myself as doing for years. It’s nice to be that go-between,� she said. Interning for a marketing and advertising firm, Owodunni was able to showcase her communication skills and was often told that was the route she should stick to, but said she knew that finance and accounting were where her passion resided. Owodunni said she has heard many times about the stereotypes of young workers. She is working to debunk the negative perceptions while also staying true to herself. She adds that many millennials have more compassion in the work they do rather than

chief clients. “I’m not rich or anything, but I’m making a living.� In his spare time Hohnstadt has been strengthening his chops as a funnyman and cartoonist. A while back he started adding puns and other humorous text to the usually silly sketches he had been making to keep his skills sharp. “But now I’ve been doing this for over two years, and I’ve got over 100 gag comics,� said Hohnstadt, whose personal publishing debut was a small 2016 booklet of “Sketchbook Silliness� he sent to clients and sold at conventions and online. “Some of them have been pretty widely shared. There are websites where people just post funny memes and stuff. Some of them, like 9gag, Imgur and Bored Panda, have put my stuff on the front page.� His “Mostly Nonsense� project, which continues the “Sketchbook Silliness theme,� is about halfway to its $4,500 crowdfunding goal on Kickstarter. If it doesn’t make it by Dec. 7, the crowdfunding will disappear and Hohnstadt will have to decide whether working to collect a check. It’s more about finding the meaning behind what they are doing. “At the end of the day it was what the quality and characteristics of the role and how I can excel. Now being in finance and accounting, it’s about how I can take things I enjoy like communicating with people, educating or putting creativity and ideas into my work,� she said. “(I am) looking at each role and asking if I can infuse my personality into that role and make it my own.� The Lakeville Young Professionals committee acknowledges those who are not only young at age but young at heart as well. “A lot of businesses in Lakeville have younger professionals that are driving longevity and that’s a big asset for us and the city of Lakeville,� Young Professionals co-chair Brianne Lawrence said. Lawrence owns Edge Real Estate Service in Lakeville and has worked at her profession for 15 years. She has also worked with professionals of all ages and sees the impact

But he’s encouraged by the support. “People are sharing my cartoons,â€? Hohnstadt said. “They seem to like ’em.â€? He’s a fan of comedy who as a kid memorized Bill Cosby stand-up routines from the albums his parents bought. “There are theories about what’s funny and what’s not,â€? said Hohnstadt, who has begun reading books on humor. “There are techniques and gimmicks people can use.â€? As a cartoonist, he doesn’t court controversy. networking with other like-minded young professionals has on the community and in her own business. “When I have stresses or things that are impacting me, there are usually other people in my shoes. ‌ It’s been nice having people I can bounce ideas off of and have support as well. It’s especially nice for younger people who are professionals,â€? she said. Owodunni said she works to stay focused on maintaining a professional attitude and executive presence and not reflect what people may assume about her. Doing her homework and not walking into a meeting unprepared is one way she says she can control one negative perception of millennials. “After I do my part, people are really going to think what they want to. I can’t be everyone’s friend and not everyone is going to like me and that’s OK,â€? she said. Contact Kayla Culver at kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com.

“Most of what I do is just silly, goofy nonsense,� Hohnstadt said. “I try really hard to be noncontroversial, very family-friendly, kind of the opposite of a lot of humor now. People value authenticity. I think that’s a good thing. ... But I think there’s a trend in comedy now to equate authenticity with snark or a kind of cynicism. And I don’t necessarily agree with that.� Doing most of his work

on the computer, Hohnstadt occasionally departs from light humor to make a cartoon illustrating his strong Christian faith. His most popular work, which drew 15,000 Facebook “likes,� is titled “Atheist Logic.� The fourpanel cartoon shows a man marveling at architecture, art and engineering. “The last panel was the same guy looking at trees and mountains and everything else and saying,

‘Clearly, nobody made any of this,’ � Hohnstadt said. “Not too snarky, hopefully, but that was slightly jabby, more jabby than I normally want to get. I don’t know if I’d necessarily want to do that again, but it got shared like crazy.� Hohnstadt’s work is at www.cedricstudio.com and www.sketchbooksilliness. com.

Opinion Legislative profiles and balanced political reporting by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two weeks ago, a letter writer took issue with the legislative profile the newspaper ran on new state Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, saying it was one-sided. Another letter this week also raises questions about the balance of reporting in the profile and last week’s story about Maye Quade’s allegations of sexual harassment by two state legislators. With regard to the first issue, the newspaper has had a history of running legislative profiles on first-term representatives. The goal of these stories is not to provide a point-counterpoint of initiatives the new legislator is supporting, but rather to inform constituents what these representatives have accomplished and are attempting to accomplish in their first terms. The newspaper ran similar legislative profiles on Republican state Reps. Anna Wills, Roz Peterson and Jon Koznick among others in recent years. I don’t recall having received complaints from readers regarding these one-sided profiles at the time they ran in the newspaper. Maybe it was because readers accepted the story for what it was — an update as to what a local lawmaker was doing on constituents’ behalf.

Staff Columnist

Tad Johnson

To read the newspaper’s past legislative profiles of current House members, go to the following links: Anna Wills http://tinyurl.com/ybdqel3f; Roz Peterson http://tinyurl.com/y87w2y8d; Jon Koznick http://tinyurl.com/y7nyhro4, and Drew Christensen http://tinyurl. com/yba9j2rp. In the future, the newspaper will label such stories to let readers know they shouldn’t expect a point-counterpoint discussion of policy in the piece. Last week’s story about allegations of sexual harassment at the State Capitol centered around Maye Quade as the main source since she was the person who brought to light allegations against DFL Sen. Dan Schoen and Republican Rep. Tony Cornish that led to further reports of harassment by the two lawmakers who announced last week they would be resigning. In the story, Maye Quade commented about the different ways the DFL

and Republican parties’ leaders were handling the two situations, as she was critical of Republicans. The newspaper did not attempt to contact Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt to respond to Maye Quade’s criticism of his handling of the accusations. Since the publication of our story Daudt has said nonpartisan research staff in the House is reviewing ways to improve sexual harassment policies for legislators and staffers. That’s in addition to the Department of Management and Budget’s review of how the state handles sexual harassment claims and the formation of a group reviewing how claims are handled across government. This week’s letter writer suggests the newspaper should have reached out to local Republican lawmakers to gain their reaction to how the situations were handled. As this story develops, the newspaper will make efforts to reach out to Republican and DFL lawmakers to gain their views on these topics. In addition to her remarks about Daudt, Maye Quade also had praise for Republicans’ response to the sexual harassment allegations. She said in our story that individuals in the Republican party were calling for both the DFL and the Republican legislators to have the same treatment for their offenses.

In the story, she also thanked the Minnesota College Republicans for their statement of support of her and condemning the actions of Cornish. Each day and each hour that reporters are working toward a deadline they attempt to gather information for stories that will make them fair and balanced. We make decisions all the time that lead into how the story will appear to readers. In my experience in writing about political issues, most stories I’ve handed in could have used more information and more sources. Calling on Politician A to get a response to what Politician B said can lead to another phone call to Politician B to get a response to what Politician A said. Most political issues afford media outlets more than one opportunity to cover it. As the reports of sexual harassment continue to be addressed at the State Capitol, the newspaper will follow the story. We will continue to strive for fair and balanced reporting because that is what readers expect. We appreciate readers’ responses to our stories as they help keep us honest. We take the criticism to heart because we know we have room to improve. Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecminc or twitter.com/editorTJ. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Twin Cities leaders consider the future of business by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Because there is such a shortage of talented engineers, some businesses are not waiting for four-year colleges to produce graduates. Instead, they are starting their own short-term engineering schools where they will be able to develop skilled engineers in just three months, predicts Chris Locher. Locher, vice president of software development at the Nerdery, leads more than 350 user experience designers, software engineers, project managers, business analysts and quality assurance engineers. He was one of four leaders who recently predicted what might happen in four key areas of business and government in the next five years. Business leaders listened to them at a recent Business Day at Bloomington City Hall, sponsor of the talks on “Building a Future Ready Community.” Locher also said rapid technological changes are making us into “digital citizens” where we will control data about ourselves, enabling us to participate in a shared economy as we move for service from institutions to individuals. For example, due to our advanced data, we are taking Uber cabs at the rate of a million rides a day. Blockchain

Staff Columnist

Don Heinzman technology, used to keep track of transactions across numerous computers, is eliminating the middleman in real estate sales and is enabling music producers to make more profit. Locher predicted how employees may do their work in the future. They don’t have to live in Minnesota. His firm already has 40 who have moved to different states, thanks to changes in mobility where they can do their work. John Johannson, senior vice president of Colliers International, has over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate in this region. He also sees changes in where people want to work and live. One firm recently pulled out of an office complex with “lots of marble and granite” because his employees wanted to work at home or in more modest offices. Another example he cited is senior citizens wanting to live in apartments. He thought they’d like a location along a lake where they could watch the birds.

He soon discovered they prefer to be “where the action is” near a McDonald’s restaurant, a Walgreen’s drug store and where they are eagerly awaiting a Lunds & Byerlys, despite having to cross busy streets. He also predicted more driverless cars in the future, and he’s already building more power into his office buildings so cars can be recharged there. As for the future of local government, Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, past president of the United States Conference of Mayors, predicts communities will get together to solve problems that overlap, like affordable housing. She says suburban cities can’t go it alone any longer and that’s why there is a regional conference of mayors to talk about common problems and solutions. Kautz said local government must avoid other levels of government “stealing our cheese,” like the federal government threatening to take away deductions for local sales. Tim Sandry, chair of the newly formed Bloomington Sustainability Commission, says the future looks “gloomy” in four areas: energy, climate change, solid waste and ground water. Globally, he predicts more devastating hurricanes and floods. Business is a target, he says, because it produces a lot of waste, particularly

from restaurants. Businesses use more energy, unleashing carbon dioxide, and they use lots of water, while also depositing fertilizer and salt into the watershed. He says Hennepin County may push businesses in enforcing the state law requiring cities to have recycling programs. Sandry says, however, “by going green, businesses can save some green.” For example, by recycling their own wastes, they can save the 31 percent tax by having a smaller dumpster and no tax on the bill. He also stressed businesses can save money by installing LED light bulbs, particularly if they have lighted parking lots. He is encouraging city staff to develop an “easy button” by creating a template to help businesses start recycling programs and financing them with money available from governments, particularly Hennepin County. Finally, Johannson predicts more people will be riding bikes back and forth to work. In his new office buildings, he’s installing more bike racks and special showers for the employees after the ride. A need to take a shower after a bike ride won’t change. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Reporting should be balanced To the editor: For two out of the last three weeks, state Rep. Erin Maye Quade has received front page above the fold stories. This past week, the story was regarding sexual harassment at the Minnesota Capitol. I don’t dispute that what happened to Maye Quade was wrong and inappropriate, nor do I dispute that it deserves front page above the fold coverage. However, I do draw some conclusions from the story. Conclusions not about Maye Quade, but about the pro-DFL slanted reporting by the new newspaper staff. Maye Quade appears to have been the only person interviewed for the story on sexual ha-

rassment. In the article, Maye Quade is quoted various times with critical opinions and remarks regarding GOP handling of the allegations, as well as, her view of Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt’s reaction to reports of sexual harassment. Yet, the article never mentions even trying to obtain a statement from Speaker Daudt or any other local GOP legislators. What kind of journalism is that? It was a politically charged article by including Maye Quade’s comments, yet only presented her opinion of how the two parties are handling the situation. It seems that the new staff at the newspaper is just another biased, voice piece for the DFL. While I don’t expect much from a free newspaper, advertisers are paying for it. If this

kind of “journalism” continues, I guess advertisers will have to consider if it is wise to spend their advertising dollars in one-sided political newspaper. LAURA BEEM Lakeville

We as Minnesotans will not be able to deduct state and local taxes but a company gets to. The “nominal” (meaning the average) corporate tax rate with deductions is not the 35 percent number you continue to hear. It is closer to 23 percent with many paying nothing. There was a conference of the leading CEOs recently and they were asked for a show of hands how many would invest the windfall based in this bill in the United States, five hands out of a membership of 200 went up. The huge majority of corporations in the U.S. have been seeing huge profits and with interest rates so low if they wanted to increase investment in the U.S. they already have or could. Many companies have said in their corporate perspectives that they will do what they always have, raise the dividend and buy back more stock. That doesn’t sound like their investing in their plants and improving productivity to me. Also, to think that a company would increase employee pay when they don’t have to, is just absurd. Lewis who was elected partially because he pretended to be a “budget hawk” must have forgotten that this bill raises the deficit by $1.5 trillion.

Lewis has shown his true colors, he is a shill for corporate executive teams and the Republican Party, not what’s best for those who elected him.

Education District 196 teachers recognized for enhancing learning with technology Rosemount High School Information and Technology Integration Specialist Susan Semmler and Highland Elementary School 4th Grade Teacher Kim Scheuring are this year’s recipients of the TIES Exceptional Teacher Awards in District 196. Sponsored by the education technology cooperative TIES, the annual awards honor teachers in member districts who effectively integrate technology into the learning process. Semmler and Scheuring will be recognized along with other recipients during the TIES annual conference Dec. 12 in Minneapolis. Susan Semmler is credited by her colleagues with revitalizing Rosemount High School’s library into a place that is a hub of activity throughout the school day. “She converted unused spaces into makerspaces, flex spaces with green screens and a new conference room with flexible seating and multimedia options,� her nomination reads. “The result is that the library is now the center of the Rosemount High School learning community.� Semmler was a former science teacher at Rosemount High who returned to Rosemount after teaching at an international school in Myanmar and briefly serving as an administrator at a school in St. Paul. Her teaching background and kind and caring personality attract teachers and students to the library, where they find her always smiling and eager to help them improve their teaching and learning with technology. “Susan has become a leader in the vision and planning for our school’s integration of technology,� her colleagues wrote. Kim Scheuring was an early adopter to integrating technology into her daily

instruction. In 2014, she was one of approximately 40 teachers in District 196 selected to help pave the way for others in learning how to effectively use technology in a classroom where every student has access to a learning device. Her 4th grade students use technology in a variety of ways that align with the framework of the district’s learning and technology vision of: 1) accessing and analyzing information; 2) collaborating and communicating; 3) innovating, creating and publishing; 4) digital citizenship. Last year, her class developed a website about an author they were studying. They published what they learned about her life, her journey as an author and information about the books she had written. When the website was complete, they shared it with an authentic audience that included the author herself. “Kim is a life-long learner who listens to her students to determine how to effectively utilize technology based on the learning her students need,� her nomination reads.

High School choirs and alumni to share message of peace Eastview choirs to continue annual tradition of ‘Ose Shalom’ by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each winter, Eastview High School Director of Choirs Greg Douma uses music and tradition to bring people together. “[The Eastview High School choir directors] want to use music to build bridges and not exclude people,� Douma said. “We want it to validate different religions, cultures and historical perspectives.� That’s why Eastview High School’s winter choral concert concludes with a unique piece. To first-time concert-goers, the melody might be unfamiliar, but to veterans of the choir program, it’s a highly-anticipated annual tradition. The song is called “Ose Shalom,� which translates from Hebrew to English as, “The One Who Makes Peace.� “It is wishing people peace and happiness this time of year,� Douma said. “We do the concert during the holiday time of year, but we aren’t ending with a traditional Christmas song. Instead, we are acknowledging all the traditions that happen this time of year.� Although Douma conducts the choir now, Judy Sagen began the tradition before Eastview High School even existed. During her 37 years of teaching in District 196, Sagen taught at three of the high schools (Rosemount, Eagan and Eastview) and led co-curricular activities at Apple Valley High School. When she began teaching at Eagan High School, Sagen searched for the perfect piece to bring all the choirs together at the end of the winter concert. It was important to her to have diversity and variety in the music, and she couldn’t think of a better way to bring people together than a song with a message of peace and love. Often sung to close

Alumni of the Eastview High School choral program stand on stage shoulder-to-shoulder with current students. Every year, alumni join in the finale of the Eastview Winter Choral Concert — “Ose Shalom.� Rosh Hashanah or Friday night Jewish services, “Ose Shalom� is associated with Jewish faith traditions — but Sagen said its message supersedes religious differences. “It isn’t necessarily sacred or secular,� she said. “It’s in Hebrew, but the message of it is universal. It’s a good way to be inclusive with everybody.� When Eastview High School opened, Sagen began teaching there, and she decided to bring the song with her. Sagen said there are many arrangements of “Ose Shalom,� but she learned this one, arranged by Debbie Friedman, at her temple, Mount Zion. When the tradition began at Eastview, she asked Jerry Gotler, Mount Zion’s clarinet player, to perform with the choirs. Gotler made the song unique each year with an improvised introduction, giving the song a Klezmer tone. “He improvised really well. He would start out with a Gershwin rhapsody and move into the “Ose Shalom� melody,� Sagen said. Gotler, the clarinet

player, moved to Florida after he retired, but he returned to Eastview each winter to open “Ose Shalom.� After he passed away, the directors asked one of his students, Aria Stiles, to play the “Ose Shalom� introduction on her violin in his place. “She was such a great improviser. She can do anything on the violin. We had her start playing it, and she made her own twist to it,� Sagen said. Stiles played the introduction several years during her high school violin career, and continued to play it many years after graduating. “As a violin player, it’s a rare opportunity to kick off songs in the commercial world because that is usually the drummer’s or guitar player’s role,� Stiles said. “In the case of Ose Shalom, I was given the freedom to incorporate what I learned at Belmont University as a commercial violin major and make it a grand entrance.� Although Sagen retired eight years ago, the current choir directors, Greg Douma, Kari Douma and Megan Cox, have kept the tradition going.

A homecoming tradition On Monday, Dec. 18, the audience in the Eastview Performing Arts Center will include parents, community members, and alumni — lots of alumni. And the alumni won’t just be there to listen — they’ll be ready to join in. “As the school got older, we noticed college students or older students were coming back, and we started bringing the alumni up on the stage for the finale,� Douma said. “The second concert we did that at, we had dozens and dozens of alumni come up — to the point where we are busting at the seams.� Now, it’s become a tradition. During each performance of “Ose Shalom,� the director invites alumni to go on stage and join the choir. “As a director, I’m up there and seeing two siblings of a current student who are up there. I’m seeing a former student standing by her sister who is now in the choir. I’ll scan the crowd and see people I haven’t seen for several years, maybe even a decade,� Douma said. Although most of the

choir students do not go on to major in music or become professional vocalists, many still find ways to make music a part of their lives by joining college or community choirs after graduation. Even those who don’t actively participate in choirs come home each year to sing “Ose Shalom.� “It’s a really cool moment personally speaking because it reminds you the power of music,� Douma said. “People can graduate and go on to their own lives and their own courses of study — most cases not music — and then come back and jump in.� Audrey Riddle, an alum of the Rosemount High School Choir and mother of two Eastview High School choir alum, has seen firsthand how meaningful this tradition can be. “It’s wonderful to see the impact the choral program at Eastview has had on the students,� Riddle said. “I know that many of them put this date on their calendar after they go away to college because they can’t wait to come back and see old friends, parents of friends, teachers and just to show their support for the choirs.� Sagen said the tradition promotes one of the main goals of the Eastview choral program: to develop life-long singers. “Our goal always was to provide students positive singing experiences so that they will want to continue it,� Sagen said. “We wanted them to realize singing is something you can do when you are done with schooling — something you can do throughout life.� Riddle has found music to be a meaningful part of her own life, and seen it in her daughters’ lives as well. “I think music is the universal language for everyone. It has the power to bring us together from all over the world and I think

our young people especially need to know how music can help them celebrate and remember good times but also get through dark times as they go through life,� Riddle said. Stiles agrees that music is a language for all — even those who don’t consider themselves musicians. “The great thing about music is that it’s such a universal language that you don’t have to sing or play an instrument to enjoy it. I always say to people who regretfully let me know that they played an instrument at a younger age, we always need an audience. No matter the culture or age, people are always going to love music and be around it. It is ingrained within us.� Eastview is not the only District 196 high school with a winter concert tradition. The choral concert at Apple Valley High School concludes with “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,� Rosemount High School has concluded its winter choral concert with “Night of Silence� for the past 20 years and Eagan High School sings Carl Nygard’s “Carols Around� every year. Each of these closing traditions brings the choral community together in its own unique way. Eastview High School’s takes place on Monday, Dec. 18, with performances at 6 and 8 p.m. Eagan High School will hold two performances on Monday, Dec. 18 as well, one at 6 and one at 7:30 p.m. Apple Valley High School’s will be at 7 p.m. on Monday Dec. 18. Rosemount High School will host concerts on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. and Monday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. The winter concerts for each of the four high schools are free and open to the public.

End-of-year festivities at Farmington temple Minnesota Hindu Milan Mandir’s Cultural Fest takes place on Dec. 2 by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The holiday season can be stressful for many people, but it can also be a time of celebration. Minnesota Hindu Milan Mandir, a Hindu temple located in Farmington, is inviting the community to its annual Cultural Fest on Saturday, Dec. 2, to celebrate both the good and bad times of the past year and look forward to the year to come. Since 2014, the temple has been housed in Farmington at 501 Walnut St. Prior to that, it was located in Eagan. It moved to Farmington when the

organization realized it needed more space. Satya Balroop, general secretary for the temple, said that the temple has something for everyone, whether that’s meditation or giving thanks, so that “anyone can come and find something for their individual self to practice in their daily life.â€? “People who are interested ‌ usually would come forward and bathe into this joy and bliss that we try to promote,â€? Balroop said. “I wouldn’t say that everybody is rushing in to want to be in that kind of environment, because ‌ people have

their own personal goal in mind of what they call joy or love or fun.� That theme of inclusivity will be apparent at the upcoming Cultural Fest, Balroop said. “We usually have people of all races, all colors. Caste or creed doesn’t have an existence there. People of all religions, races, they come forward and they enjoy the event because it’s just having fun together and not recognizing what they look like or what their religion is,� she said. Balroop said the festival is an opportunity to bring the community

together to “rally all the strength that we need to take us to the end of the year.� She said they celebrate everything that has been accomplished in 2017. “Togetherness, love, the good times and not so good times, our gains and losses, things we have accomplished and also our failures. Friends and foes, joys and sorrows, dull moments and cheerfulness. Everything that we have experienced throughout the year,� Balroop said. The festivities include Bollywood, Bharatanatyam and Kathak dancers, vocalists and East and

West Indian cuisine. Balroop said they’ve made this an annual event because they feel it’s important for the community. “It gives people a little encouragement that the next year is full with joy and bliss. What we have experienced throughout the year ‌ makes us stronger and it unites us together so that we are able to move on and accomplish even greater things in our next year,â€? Balroop said. Everyone is invited to attend, whether they practice Hinduism or not. Balroop added that everything the temple does

is open to the public, and ultimately the festival is just a chance to have fun. “It’s like a melting pot. You just come and dissolve in the happiness that we try to create there with music and fun and dances and food,� Balroop said. The Cultural Fest will be held at 501 Walnut St. in the Milan Mandir Auditorium from 6-9:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door; the entry donation is $10 per person and children under 5 years old can attend for free.

Band shares its gift with the world Rosemount High School marching band’s hard work pays off in NYC by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thanksgiving Day is typically not reserved for giving presents, but the Rosemount High School marching band offered up a priceless gift to people numbering in the hundreds, thousands or maybe even more than that last week. After countless hours of practice, performing, fundraising and preparations, band members put everything they had been working toward the past 18 months into marching in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hearts back home in Rosemount swelled with pride upon seeing the 1-minute, 15-second performance in Herald Square on NBC-TV, shouts of encouragement and applause rang through the streets of Manhattan as they marched in front of 400-some family and friends along the parade route who traveled to New York City to support the band, but they weren’t the only ones captivated by the band. The throngs of people who watched the parade from packed sidewalks, apartment balconies or rooftops sang along with the band’s renditions of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town� and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.� “The coolest thing for me was seeing everyone singing the Christmas songs,� said senior drum major Colette Edgar. “These are people who had not met each other previously and now they were all singing Christmas music together.� She thought it especially heartwarming since it was Thanksgiving, a time when people come together to give thanks for what they have. Edgar said it was unexpected that people were

The Rosemount High School marching band performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade last Thursday as the 275-member group performed two holiday selections - “Santa Claus is Coming to Town� and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow� - along with its Herald Square performance of “Pride in the Past, Promise of the Future,� which was an arrangement of traditional Irish music and songs honoring the Statue of Liberty. singing-along with the music, but band director Bo Hoover said the Macy’s parade crowds are known for their liveliness. Bo Hoover described the parade scene in the “concrete jungle� as loud with people cheering all the way through. He said at one point when they turned a corner he could see people lined up 50 deep along the route, and several times he saw supporters of the band wearing the same color sweatshirts — a tradition that has led to them being dubbed the “Sea of Gold.� “We have had overwhelming support of our parents and the community,� Edgar said. “I saw so many people wearing gold, block after block. Even though we were in the big city, it felt like we were at home. When people would scream our names, it would take us to a whole other level.� Hoover said he felt like it was Leprechaun Days parade there were so many people shouting the names to students in the band. He said the Macy’s parade liaison assigned to the group told Rosemount’s directors that she had never seen such a turnout of support for a high school band. At the start

After getting up at 2 a.m. and having a 4 a.m. dress rehearsal on Herald Square, band members ate breakfast then waited in the staging area. Edgar said she knew she was just about to be part of something very big when she saw late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, pop rock musicans the Goo Goo Dolls and the huge inflatable balloons being prepped for the parade. “It didn’t hit me until the morning of the parade,� Hoover said of the importance of their participation. “That’s when it sunk in that it was happening.� Hoover said he was feeling what most others were — elation, exhaustion, excitement, nervousness and anticipation — at the start of the parade. It was the first time in 28 years since a Minnesota high school band had performed in the parade that reserves very few spots high school bands. “I don’t know how you could be prepared for that,� Edgar said. “There were millions of people watching us live and watching us back home with family and friends.� Edgar said upon entering Herald Square for the NBC-TV performance,

she was amazed by the number of lights, television cameras and people surrounding the performance area. Though they had a 4 a.m. rehearsal on the very site that day, this was a completely different scene. “There were so many people cheering loud for us; these were people who had never seen us before, they were so excited they were there,� Edgar said. She said it was difficult to keep her focus and conduct the band, as she told herself to concentrate and listen to the drums to keep the direction in time. Rosemount’s band directors were unable to see the Herald Square performance live as they had to stand behind a scaffolding as the camera crews rolled. “It was a nervous moment for me,� Hoover said. “In the marching band world, it is the only band peformance in which the director is not standing in front of them. It takes some trust to do that and hand it over to the drum majors to have them perform the way you want them to.� In their blue and white uniforms with white plumes over their hats and drill team members in red waving red, white and blue flags emblazoned with

to a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire band and their family and friends who made the trip. The dinner attendance was over 600. Edgar said it an awesome opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family and friends at the banquet, as it was something she said she would never forget. As for the whole trip, Hoover said it is an experience the students will reflect on later in life as something memorable. “The marching band is the most visible performing arts group in the school and the district,â€? Hoover said. “They perform before thousands of people in parades and other events. ‌ They are used to high-profile opportunities in front of people who appreciate what they do.â€? He said they are treated like “rock starsâ€? by their parents and the community as evidenced by the fundraising support it received and the sendoff event on Saturday, Nov. 18, at the Rosemount Community Center that was attended by scores of people. “They were very proud that they were given the opportunity to represent their school, city and state,â€? Hoover said. “The community support has been incredible.â€? He said it’s amazing all the time, effort and money that band parents expend to help their children get an opportunity like this and then they only get to see them for a few seconds during the parade. But these parents realize that performing in this parade is not about giving a gift for themselves, it is sharing the gift of the Rosemount High School marching band with the rest of the world.

an image of the Statue of Liberty, the band performed Hoover’s arrangement of a medley of Irish and patriotic songs to the theme of “Pride in the Past, Promise of the Future.� “I thought we had an incredible performance,� Edgar said of the show based on the school’s motto. After leaving Herald Square, the band marched the short distance to the end of the parade, remaining in formation until it reached the U.S. Post Office. There they were able to decompress and celebrate the experience. “It was everything,� Hoover said of their reactions. “It was hugging, elation, shock and disbelief that it was over. The TV portion of it was so quick, one minute and 15 seconds. More than anything the kids were exhausted.� “It was a long season,� Edgar said. “I was glad for all of the work we had put in to get there.

Sports Girls hoops preview: Who can challenge North, Eastview? Just two SSC teams ranked in preseason top 20 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eight girls basketball teams in the South Suburban Conference are anxious to prove they’re not just afterthoughts. The Minnesota Basketball News preseason Class 4A rankings had just two South Suburban teams in the top 20 – Eastview at No. 2 and Lakeville North at No. 3. That makes sense, as the Lightning and Panthers were third and fourth in the 2017 state tournament and both have multiple returning starters. The question is, who will challenge the Lightning and Panthers? That’s just starting to be sorted out. Following are capsule previews of the teams in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area:

Lakeville North Coach: Shelly Clemons. Last season: 28-4 overall, 17-1 conference, won Class 4A, Section 1 playoffs, fourth in state tournament. 2017-18 so far: 1-0; defeated Woodbury 76-70. Next game: at Minnetonka, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: The defending South Suburban Conference champion Panthers sent standout guard Temi Carda to Creighton University but have a replacement ready – sophomore Lauren Jensen, regarded by high school girls basketball observers as a future star. Jensen scored 20 points in the seasonopening victory over Woodbury. Senior forward Ke James was second on the team in scoring to Carda last season. James and senior forward Taylor Brown are returning all-conference players. Senior guard Kari Macura, who had a season high of 10 points in a game last season, doubled that in Tuesday’s opener against Woodbury.

Last season: 11-17 overall, 6-12 conference, reached Class 4A, Section 1 semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 1-0; defeated Eden Prairie 62-43. Next game: at East Ridge, 7:15 p.m. Friday. Outlook: Top players on a senior-dominated Cougars roster include allconference guard Anna Harvey and all-conference honorable mention players Bianca Biffert (guard), Ellie Wolkow (guard) and Mackenzie Hicks (forward). Harvey and Biffert were the team’s secondand third-leading scorers last season. Wolkow had 14 points, Harvey 12, Annie Guentzel 11, Biffert 10 and Rachel Ronning eight in the season opener against Eden Prairie.

Apple Valley

Coach: Bryan Doughty. Last season: 21-7 overall, 13-5 conference, reached Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. Next game: at Park of Cottage Grove, 7 p.m. Friday. Outlook: Jeremy Gordon stepped down as head coach after guiding the Eagles to their best season in years. But there’s still talent in place for Doughty, who begins his first season at Apple Valley. Senior forward Brynne Rolland was the team’s Lakeville South second-leading scorer last Coach: Angie Iversonseason, averaging 17.4

points. Mykel Parham, a 6-foot-2 forward, is expected to have a much bigger role this season after being honorable mention all-conference last season. Senior Molly Moynihan and junior Megan Baer have varsity experience at guard.

Burnsville Coach: Maurice Hodges. Last season: 5-22 overall, 2-16 conference, lost in first round of Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs. 2017-18 so far: 1-1; lost to Henry Sibley 45-43, defeated Bloomington Jefferson 63-58. Next game: vs. Edina, 7 p.m. Friday. Outlook: The Blaze, which hasn’t had a winning season since 2009-10, will look for a fresh start under Hodges, who takes over after coaching in the Prior Lake boys program. Top returning player is sophomore guard Zhane Thompson, an honorable mention all-conference member last season. Thompson averaged 9.7 points a game last season. Senior Natalie Engel and sophomores Paige Servais and Megan Diggan also saw varsity playing time last year. Engel and Carresha Russell are the only seniors on a roster that includes five sophomores and five ninth-graders. Thompson had 13 points and Engel and Annalyse

The five Rosemount players who were all-conference or all-conference honorable mention last season were seniors; this year’s squad has just two seniors, captains Rose Bauernfeind and Becca Francois. The Irish played competitively in losses to seventh-ranked Wayzata and defending Class 4A champion Elk River last weekend. Sophomore guard Larisa O’Neil had 12 points and ninth-grader Helen Staley scored 10 in Rosemount’s game against Elk River. Sophomore forward Taylor Janssen led the Irish with 17 points against Wayzata. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Panthers accomplish mission in tough tourney

by Mike Shaughnessy Although the South Suburban Conference isn’t heavily represented in the Let’s Play Hockey state Class AA boys rankings – Lakeville North is the only team in the top 20 – it still looks to be a competitive winter on local rinks. The conference has 2017 Class AA fourthplace finisher Lakeville South, defending league champion Prior Lake and 15th-ranked Lakeville North among the contenders for the championship. Other SSC teams such as Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview and Apple Valley also will try to figure out how to muster a challenge for St. Thomas Academy, the defending Section 3AA champion and favorite to repeat this season.

Lakeville South’s Henry Welsch makes a save despite having a Prior Lake player crash into the goal crease during Saturday’s 5-1 Cougars victory at Hasse Arena. Next game: vs. Buffalo, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: A number of the heroes of last winter’s run to the state tournament are gone, but the Cougars look like they still could be a force after stomping defending South Suburban Conference champion Prior Lake in their opener. Senior Jack Olsen is one of the league’s top returning players and can be used at forward or defense. Senior forward Zach Bauer is coming off a 16-goal season, and Dawson Klein and Zach Zemlak are returning defensemen. The goaltending job appears to be Henry Welsch’s after Isaiah DiLaura opted to play for a junior team in British Columbia. Sophomore Caden Smith debuted on varsity with four assists against Prior Lake. Tucker Schumacher, a junior for-

With more than half of his roster consisting of players who had never skated in a varsity game, you’d think the last thing Lakeville North coach Trent Eigner would want is to throw them into the deep water right away against two of the state’s top-ranked boys hockey teams. If that’s how Eigner looked at it, he wouldn’t have brought the Panthers to The Opener, a high school boys hockey showcase played Friday and Saturday at Bloomington Ice Garden. The Panthers were 0-1-1 on the weekend, losing to third-ranked Moorhead 4-2 and tying fourthranked Minnetonka 2-2, but Eigner said the first two games of the season proved instructive. “We could have started with two very weak teams and we wouldn’t know much about our team,” he said. “The great thing about this weekend was to see 12 guys play their first varsity shifts.

answered some questions in our own locker room.” Moorhead, the 2017 state Class AA runnerup, defeated North 4-2 on Friday, with the Spuds’ final goal being an empty-netter. On Saturday, Minnetonka needed a goal with three seconds remaining in the third period to pull into a 2-2 tie with the Panthers. “A lot of guys were playing their first varsity games, and once they got settled in, they were doing their jobs,” said senior forward Blake Brandt, who scored a goal in the Minnetonka game. Lost to graduation were five of last year’s top six North scorers, four defensemen and both varsity goalies. The new varsity goalies drew praise from their coach last weekend. Caleb Meyer, a sophomore, made 40 saves against Moorhead and junior Will Johnson had 43 saves against Minnetonka, coming within seconds of his first varsity victory. “They were both stellar,” Eigner said. “If you can answer that (goaltending) question, you can start to look at some other things.” Brandt was the second-leading scorer with 50 points on a North team that was 20-6-2 overall last year and reached the Section 1AA championSee PANTHERS, 11A

PANTHERS, from 10A ship game before losing to Lakeville South 3-1. Senior Garrett Daly, a Bowling Green recruit, is the top returning defenseman. Juniors Spencer Schneider and Shayne Griffin are returning varsity forwards, and Mitch Kohner skated on varsity as a ninth-grader. Ryan Antonakis is a returning defenseman. Schneider and Daly scored the goals against Moorhead on Friday, with Brandt and varsity newcomer Gus Brown scoring on Saturday. Until this year’s players find their way, the Panthers might be less freewheeling than they’ve been in the past when they had experienced, skillful players. “We have to be far more diligent in the details,� Eigner said. “If we let them run, they’ll make some mistakes and it’s going to sting. So we’ll let them take some baby steps. It’s a young, inexperienced group with a lot of talent. We’ll see where that HOCKEY, from 10A

GROCERY, from 1A ville, Farmington and Rosemount, as it is the closest Indian grocery to those cities. “We have to go to an Indian grocery every week,” she said. “Our cooking, 80 percent of what we cook requires ingredients that can really only be found here.” Although she’s lived in Lakeville for five years, she decided to build Mantra Bazaar in centrallylocated Apple Valley. She said before opening Mantra Bazaar, if she wanted groceries she had to travel to Bloomington or Eagan — at least a 20 to 25 minute drive. “Apple Valley is centrally located — Lakeville would have been too far south,” she said. “Although the Lakeville Indian community has been growing by leaps and bounds, we felt that from a business standpoint this was the best location.” Even people who aren’t used to shopping at Indian groceries have been stopping in for the specialized products. Kuttuva estimates about 20 percent of her clientele are non-Indian customers. So, what’s in the store? Kuttuva is excited about the wide selection of lentils they have to offer customers. She said although lentils are used in many Indian dishes, they are a popular option for vegetarians and vegans of diverse cultural backgrounds. Mantra Bazaar also offers a variety of Indian spices, including whole bay leaves and cloves. Customers may be surprised to find a variety of packaged and ready-to-eat Indian dishes, as well as

12 hours a day at the store, working to make improvements. As the store continues to develop, Kuttuva hopes to create meal kits for customers to purchase and get an introduction to Indian cooking. Kuttuva and Prakash are also considering selling their boutique and home decor items online, and they looking to create a small deli and expand the boutique area in the store. The store opened on Sep. 8, but Kuttuva and Prakash decided to wait until they could get a few more items on their shelves before scheduling the ribbon cutting. The ceremony, in partnership with the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be on Friday, Dec. 15, and is open to the public. Because the store will have been open for 98 days, Mantra Bazaar will be gearing up for a 100day celebration as well. The store will offer special promotions from the time of the ribbon cutting through the new year. Kuttuva said as the weather cools down, Mantra Bazaar will start providing customers with a free cup of chai while they shop. Mantra Bazaar is located in the Granada Center, off Cedar Ave, at 14809 Granada Ave, Apple Valley. It is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with extended weekend hours. For more information, people can visit the company website at www.mantra-bazaar. business.site or find Mantra Bazaar on Facebook.

16A Dec. 1, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

theater and arts briefs Rosemount theater group to perform ‘Murder Among Friends’ The Front Porch Players of Rosemount, in partnership with the Rosemount Area Arts Council, will have auditions in December for its spring 2018 play, “Murder Among Friends.” This comedy/mystery has been described by the New York Times as “clever, amusing, and very surprising,” and by New York’s WABC-TV as “a slick, sophisticated show that is modern and very funny.” The play recounts the interaction of an aging, exceedingly vain actor, his very rich wife and a double dealing, double loving agent in an elegant New York duplex with dialogue crackling with wit and laughs. Angela, the wife and Ted, the agent, are lovers who plan to murder Palmer, the actor, during a contrived robbery on New Year’s Eve. But the actor and agent are also lovers and have an identical plan to do in the wife. A murder occurs, but not one of the planned ones.

Auditions will consist of readings from the script, and will be held on Sunday, Dec. 10, and Monday, Dec. 11, from 5-8 p.m. at the Rosemount Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail in Rosemount.
