Another time to mourn in Lakeville Horrific crash leaves two teens dead, one hospitalized after surgery by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville students, parents and community members reacted in shock and sorrow this week at the death of two popular Lakeville South High School students in a rollover crash Dec. 5. Johnny Price, 18, and Jake Flynn, 17 died after being thrown from the truck they were riding in when it rolled at around 3 p.m. on 225th Street about a mile south of Lakeville South. Driver Alex Hughes, 17, suffered head and back injuries in the crash and remained hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center after undergoing brain surgery for swelling, according to family and friends. John Braun, Lakeville South principal, said Lakeville South senior Mason Kohlbeck, a passenger in the vehicle, returned to school Monday and visited the auditorium, where counselors and clergy are available for students who gathered there. Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie said a witness reported driving eastbound on 225th Street when she saw the truck the teens were in coming at her in her lane. Leslie said the woman saw the truck make a sudden movement and begin to roll. Sharon Buckley, a hospice nurse, said she ran outside her home after hearing a “horrific noise” on the road followed by “hysterical” cries of one of the surviving boys. Buckley said she found Price in laying in the roadway unconscious and stayed with him, hold-

Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie confirmed on Monday deputies are investigating distracted driving and if the “Nerf Wars” game played a role in the Dec. 4 crash that killed two Lakeville South High School students. Johnny Price, 18, and Jake Flynn, 17, died after being thrown from the truck they were riding in when it rolled on 225th Street south of the high school. The driver, Alex Hughes, 17, and Mason Kohlbeck, 18, survived the crash and were transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. Leslie said Hughes underwent surgery and the is physically unable to talk to deputies at this time to help them with details that led to the crash. Lakeville South Principal John Braun said Kohlbeck was released from the hospital Saturday, Dec. 5. Leslie said a witness reported she was traveling eastbound on 225th Street and saw the truck coming at her in her lane, then it made a sudden movement and began to roll. “She actually saw the boys ejected,” Leslie said.

The woman reportedly remained at the scene for a few minutes but then had to leave to pick up children. “The woman said there were no other vehicles in the area beside her and the truck,” Leslie said. He said the investigation would slow until after the funerals so the community can come together and mourn. A press conference regarding the cause of the accident was scheduled for after the funerals are complete, after this edition went to press. Dakota County deputies this week executed a search warrant of the truck looking for Nerf guns to help determine if there is a connection between the game and the crash. Leslie said they also planned to pull the vehicle’s “brains,” a computer chip that will tell them information that includes the truck’s speed at the time of the crash and if brakes were applied. He said they would also examine the condition of the truck’s seat belts to determine if they might have snapped during the impact and which of the boys were wearing them. See INVESTIGATION, 11A

Youth intervention works, speakers say Programs receive $6 million from state, impact 15,000 with funds, though more funds needed by Gretchen Schlosser SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Youth intervention programs work, helping young people turn their lives away from bad choices and ensuring the youth become contributing members of society, said several community leaders supporting the Youth Intervention Programs Association, which includes Dakota County-based groups and about 230 member organizations in the state. “Youth intervention saves lives, that’s the most important part,� said Sen. Melisa Franzen, DFL-Edina. “This is an easy way to support our communities.� Franzen will continue to push for increased youth intervention funding during the 2016 legislative session, she said during a press conference Dec. 4 at the Brooklyn Park Community Activity Center, prior to the association’s annual meeting and a summit on at-risk youth and community support for helping young people. It costs about $2,000 per year to have a young person participate in a youth intervention program, Paul Meunier, executive director of Youth Intervention Programs Association said. Intervening when the young person has first contact with the court system or juvenile delinquency is much cheaper than a lifetime of support by the social services program, such as $73,500 a year for residential treatment, $56,100 a year for group home residency or $40,200 a year for placement in a juvenile correction facility. The association is woefully underfunded, Meunier says, with the current state funding of $6 million per biennium overshadowed by $17 million in grant requests

Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart stressed that a wide range of law enforcement officials support youth intervention as a way to improve public safety and communities. Stuart addressed reporters Dec. 4 during a press conference in Brooklyn Park for the Youth Intervention Programs Association. Looking on were Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom; Sen. Melisa Franzen, DFL-Edina, and Trenton Washington, 15, of Minneapolis, who participated in a youth intervention program. (Photo by Gretchen Schlosser)

He’s getting a 3.7 GPA at his new school, Twin Cities Academy, and is now focused on going to college. “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up yet,� the boy told reporters during the press conference. “It doesn’t matter who cares, only that someone does,� said Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart, noting that the caring adult who comes Contact Gretchen Schlossinto a young person’s er at gretchen.schlosser@ Trenton Washington, 15, of Minneapolis, said he’s getting a 3.7 grade point average life through intervention ecm-inc.com. at his new school, after participating in a youth intervention program, touted Dec. 4 programs can be a menduring a press conference in Brooklyn Park for the Youth Intervention Programs Association.

James Backstrom, Dakota County attorney, said that the youth accountability programs help young people continue their education and provide family support for success. “We put them on track to make them productive members of society,� he said. “These programs are the best way to address at-risk youth.� Our society has it backward, Meunier says, instead of paying on the backside when adults fall through the cracks into social services programs, have drug and alcohol problems, lack job skills and get involved in crime, it’s cheaper to intervene with young people before they get to adulthood. “We can put it up front, and help them become successful adults,� he said. Youth Intervention Programs Association hosted six summit events around the state, ending with the Brooklyn Park event, to promote youth intervention and increase understanding of community, business and government officials that they can change their communities by helping young people. “At-risk youth are in every neighborhood,� Meunier said. “They affect all of us.�

Opinion

Police, public need to work together to stem tide of violence It’s been a tough 15 months for our nation’s police officers – from Missouri, to Maryland and now to Minnesota. Since the death of Michael Brown, followed by days of rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, until the recent death of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis, law enforcement personnel are on the hot seat. Did police act maliciously? With racist intent? And the big question, was Clark killed while handcuffed? These incidents have heightened anger toward the police, and have given fodder to those who claim officers are reacting violently and causing death or injury where it is not necessary. The Black Lives Matter movement has elevated the debate. Many feel police officers target people of color, especially African-Americans, and use excessive force and profiling to drill down on black suspects. We’ve seen incidents involving police and violence in many of our communities. Within the past few weeks, Fridley and Columbia Heights officers shot and killed a man who refused police instructions to show his hands and pulled a weapon on them. In Plymouth, a police officer killed a man suffering from a mental health crisis after he tried to remove the officer’s gun from her holster. In Robbinsdale, police shot and injured an 18-year-old woman who was wielding a large knife. In New Hope within the last year, an angry man shot at two police officers at city hall and was subsequently killed. Last year in Ramsey, police shot and killed a man who ran from them as they investigated a call of a suspicious person near a daycare center.

ECM Editorial We’ve also seen Minnesota officers die in the course of their day. In St. Cloud this October, a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed with his own weapon, as a hospital patient took his gun as they struggled. A Minneapolis police officer was shot in February responding to a burglary in what police say may have been a targeted ambush on officers. Mendota Heights police officer Scott Patrick was shot and killed last summer in what started as routine traffic stop. Organizations have rallied to support police officers. In Coon Rapids recently, hundreds of people gathered at a rally supporting police. A local car repair company has offered free “thin blue lines” painted on your vehicle, to support the men and women in blue and the thin line they walk every day. Apple Valley has launched “Operation Thank A Cop,” offering supportive bumper stickers to anyone interested. While focus recently has been on race and racial issues, the day-to-day existence of an officer is complex. He or she deals with a vast range of situations. Police and sheriff’s deputies will tell you that the most unpredictable call they respond to each day is the domestic call – not a riot or a bank robbery. These often involve individuals in volatile relationships, fueled into violence with drugs and alcohol. In 2012 in North Branch, a 46-year-old man was shot and killed by police when they responded to a domestic incident. They will also talk about the difficulty and unpredictability of dealing with

the mentally ill. When a Plymouth police officer shot and killed Derek Wolfsteller, 31, she already knew he was an individual in a serious mental health crisis. However, in his agitated state, he was overpowering and the officers at the scene felt their only resort was to shoot when he tried to take the officer’s gun. We do not believe our law enforcement officers intend to incite a situation, or to seek out and maliciously target individuals of certain races or ethnic backgrounds. We do believe that our police and sheriff’s deputies face an incredibly difficult choice in many situations. Consider seeing an angry man lunging at you – or at a group of children – with his hand in his pocket. You have three seconds to decide – is he a danger? Are the children in danger? Do I shoot? Do I let him continue? The great majority of us never need to make a life or death decision in a few seconds. But our police officers do that all too often. One police officer acting too quickly or reacting with excessive force can turn a difficult situation into a full-blown riot. Police officers must be better able to diffuse a violent situation. We urge the supervisors in law enforcement to develop alternatives to guns and Tasers when dealing with difficult situations. There needs to be methodology law enforcement can use to contain an out-of-control individual beyond deadly force. Police need to develop additional methods to handle the mentally ill. How do you subdue – safely – a 250-pound man whose illness has sent him into a rage?

We also urge the quick implementation of body cameras on all officers. We believe that in the great majority of cases, video will show officers acted appropriately. Law enforcement leaders must continually recruit quality candidates for jobs, and work hard to bring diversity to their ranks. It will take more than better training, however, to heal the fissure developing between people of color and police. As long as entire communities of people believe the police are the enemy instead of an ally, angry demonstrations like the one that brought Minneapolis freeways to a stop following the shooting of Jamar Clark will continue to happen. Our police officers, sheriffs, state patrol and police chiefs will need to work diligently to improve their image in the community. Police and the media can do a better job of telling “the other” story – situations where quick-thinking and levelheaded officers saved lives, or brought a situation from volatile to orderly. Our police need to be even more visible in their communities. Police officers should be walking side-by-side with community leaders. And finally, we must not turn this into a race war. This is not police vs. black – this is all of us, people of all colors, standing next to our police forces – united against the real criminals. All lives will be better if we work together.

Helping school districts set, reach their goals by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

More than 20 people, an unusually large number, responded to a recent column listing five questions for school board members. Most agreed with the questions suggested in the column. Several asked for examples of measurable goals that school boards have adopted. One person wisely urged listening to staff, as well as other groups, and another advocated for clear communication from boards. Alan Muller wrote in an online comment: “May I put in a plug for the importance of plain language? All too often school managers, at least the ‘public’ flavor, seem to respond in a specialized lingo such that few really understand what, if anything, is being said.” That’s wise advice as boards establish district goals. I contacted Miami-Dade County Public Schools in Florida because it has improved high school graduation rates by 15 percentage points over the last five years, and in 2012, it won one of the nation’s top awards for school districts awarded by the Broad Foundation. John Schuster, administrative director of public relations, responded that the district has five pillars supporting its “Vision 20/20 Strategic Blueprint.” Each has measurable goals, found at http:// bit.ly/1Xy03mM. For example, under Pillar 1, called Relevant, Rigorous and

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan Innovative Academics, objectives include: • “At least 90 percent of students will graduate with a standard high school diploma by 2020. • “The percentage of students enrolled in remedial courses at the college level will decrease by at least 5 percent by 2020. • “The percentage of students attaining industry certification in one or more areas of study will increase by at least 5 percent by 2020.” Other examples come from 2014 Broad Award winner Orange County Public Schools, Florida, found at http:// bit.ly/1TuHnyy. The board and administration identified four overall focus areas, adopted measurable goals and developed strategies for each goal. I’m not suggesting that these are the only ones to adopt, although I am heartened that two involve increased enrollment of 10 percent by 2020 in dual-credit courses (high school and college) and increasing the percentage of students who are successful in such courses by 10 percent by 2020.

Some of Orange County’s goals include: • “Increase the percent of students enrolled in an extended postsecondary preparation experience prior to graduation by 10 percentage points by the year 2020. • “Increase the percent of students demonstrating success in an extended postsecondary preparation experience prior to graduation by 10 percentage points by the year 2020. • “Increase (percent) of students in grades 3-10 scoring proficient on statewide assessments … by 10 percentage points by the year 2020.” Adopting goals is not enough. Several people described what boards should do to increase the likelihood that their goals are accomplished. Former Minnesota Commissioner of Education Bob Wedl wrote, “Boards ought to ask the district administration and teachers to identify ways to do things differently so that better results can be achieved with the same or even less resources.” He offered examples such as new research-based approaches to serve students with special needs and redesigning high schools so that all students complete a significant amount of postsecondary coursework or even their “career certifications” while in high school, saving families hundreds of millions of dollars. Steve Miltich, a 20-year public schools employee who is on the board

of Minnesota school employees union SEIU 284, agreed that it’s important to listen to families, educators, current students, graduates and community members. However, he wrote via email: “I am troubled by the fact that nowhere in your column did you make a single mention of support staff. You see, I am a school custodian. We work hand in hand every day with educators, administration, parents and students. As the winter weather sets in, we are the ones who keep our buildings warm and dry. Our food service workers feed hundreds of students every day. The paraprofessionals train and protect and clean special needs kids from the moment they exit their buses, while clerical staff move information, store records and refer visitors and callers.” He rightly recommended that board members also consider staff suggestions. I hope, thanks to readers’ recommendations, wise boards will set and share clear, measurable goals, and then, after listening to various voices, they’ll develop plans to accomplish those goals and share results.

Letters Help in our time of need To the editor: In the wake of devastation, the beauty of the human spirit emerges. The car accident on Dec. 4 that caused the sudden and tragic deaths of Jake Flynn and John Price, and injuries to Alex Hughes and Mason Kohlbeck, has thrust our community into shock and disbelief. Two of our own are gone and the events of

that afternoon were, and always will be, utterly incomprehensible. All activities at LSHS were cancelled for the evening of Dec. 4; however, we were set to host a very large boys traveling basketball tournament the very next day at LSHS. We questioned whether to cancel the tournament, but with more than 55 teams from cities across the metro and outstate Minnesota that had made arrangements to play and

hundreds of boys looking forward to a weekend of basketball, we decided to proceed with the tournament. We knew that very understandably, many parents and high school students would not be able to fulfill their volunteer shifts (concessions, set-up, admissions, etc.) throughout the weekend. We would deal with whatever we needed to. But this past weekend, we saw firsthand how the human spirit responds to

unfathomable events in an attempt to help, to support, to show that above all else, the strength of our human connection prevails. Lakeville North, a rival on the field and on the court, immediately contacted us to express their desire and willingness to help – to take on volunteer shifts, to run our scoreboards, to assist in any way. This emphasized that compassion and empathy trump any rivalry. The communities of Burnsville, Savage, Eagan, Chaska, Woodbury, and Brainerd also played active roles in helping our tournament run smoothly. These communities stepped up in response to tragedy without blinking an eye, and for that, we are extremely grateful. Communities around the Twin Cities that were not tournament participants contacted us to offer their

assistance. During our time of need, we felt caring, support, and compassion, which has shown us that our deep connection as human beings – and the ability for that to translate to action – is alive and well. A big thank you goes out to these communities and all who stepped in to help. Lakeville South Boys Basketball Association

Farmington science teacher looks to the sky Teacher hopes to bring Project PoSSUM to south metro by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Todd Kohorst, science teacher in Boeckman Middle School, would like to bring the upper mesosphere to Farmington to study with high school students. His goal is to run Project PoSSUM, which stands for Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere, in Farmington for high school students this summer where they would train in a flight simulator, try out space suits and learn about the atmosphere. Kohorst is passionate about the project because he’s already trained through Project PoSSUM. During the October MEA weekend, Kohorst traveled to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, to study the upper mesosphere, the highest part of the atmosphere, and the noctilucent clouds that live there. He was one of 12 people selected to spend time in a hyperbolic chamber

and flight simulator. He also participated in a highG and zero-G flight. “I dreamed to be an astronaut, but I honestly never thought it could really happen,� Kohorst said. He didn’t fly up into the mesosphere, but one day he could. PoSSUM is not affiliated with NASA, but the nonprofit organization’s goal is to study the upper atmosphere at about 350,000 feet, which is too low for satellites and too high for radar. Kohorst said scientists don’t know much about the clouds, but lately scientists are finding the clouds at lower latitudes and they’re getting brighter. “Why is that happening?� Kohorst said. “It could be due to climate change. When there’s more CO2 in the upper atmosphere it actually gets colder. The opposite happens in the lower atmosphere.� Scientists are also curious if it’s safe to fly through them when space shuttles re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

The best way to study that part of the sky is with an advanced airplane. Scientists would then send out probes, take photos, gather data and take samples. Hopes are for an experiment to be ready by 201718. Kohorst has shared his experience in the classroom, but hopes to share much more this summer as the teacher of a Project PoSSUM camp for students. “I tell my students, they can do this,� Kohorst said. “It’s all middle school science.� He’s said he’s working on getting funding and grants to decrease the cost down to about $1,000 per student or lower.

Lego team advances to sections Book to remain in middle school libraries despite concerns about sexual content by Jessica Harper

children. “Just One Day� centers on a teenage girl, Allyson, who spends one romantic day in Paris with a young actor and decides to leave college to find him. The couple said they reviewed the book after their sixth-grade daughter brought it home the Rosemount Middle School library and were dismayed by “graphic� content that includes a sex scene, underage drinking and date rape. The committee read the book and heard testimony from the Lovins before coming to their decision. Only a handful of books have been challenged in the past two decades, said Tony Taschner, spokesman for District 196. In 2014, a parent asked the district to remove “Sixth-grade can Really Kill You,� because of its use of the word “retarded.� The committee voted in a 10-0 decision to keep it in circulation.

Augustana Care has received the Excellence in Not-for-Profit Leadership Award from LeadingAge. The national award recognizes organizations that exemplify seven key attributes characterizing high-performing nonprofits, according to Johns Hopkins University research. The attributes include being productive, empowering, effective, enriching, reliable, responsive and caring. Several programs and partnerships at Augustana Care drew notice from LeadingAge, including a special sensory worship service created at Emerald Crest for those with Alzheimer’s and similar conditions: Emerald Crest by Augustana Care offers memory care at four Augustana Care locations, including Burnsville. Occupational therapists worked with chaplains to create a sensory worship service designed specifically for people with memory loss, allowing them to be active participants, no matter what level of dementia they may have. Other programs include the following: • The Student Residence Program brings college students to live alongside residents. • Through a collaborative effort with furniture retailer IKEA, a new model apartment was created to address the unique needs of older generations. Features include firmer chairs and sofas, wall hooks for keys, transparent storage for easy visibility, open storage in the bathroom for easy access and safety, and more. Augustana Care is a nonprofit organization

City officials seek state funding for sky bridge Elevated walkway proposed at Cedar and 147th transit station

Urges public to wait for the legal process to play out by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley officials hosted a delegation of state senators at the Cedar Avenue and 147th Street transit station last week in a bid to secure funding for a sky bridge project there. City officials are seeking $4 million in state funding for the elevated walkway, which is being touted as both a safety measure for transit riders and a way to further spur economic development along the Cedar Avenue transit corridor. Mayor Mary HamannRoland and Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney outlined the project Dec. 2 to members of the state Senate Capital Investment Committee inside Superior Service Center, an auto repair business adjoining the transit stop. The sky bridge project is estimated to cost $5 million, with the city of Apple Valley putting up $1 million, according to Hamann-Roland. The mayor described the project as “vital to transit and economic development in Apple Valley.� Regarding safety, pedestrians seeking to get from the southbound transit station on Cedar to the northbound station must cross nine lanes of traffic at the signalized intersection at 147th Street. “That’s one less lane than the L.A. freeway,� HamannRoland said. Some pedestrians — under pressure to catch a bus — have been seen making a beeline across Cedar, skipping the walk to the signalized intersection and simply jumping the steel fence in the median, Hamann-Roland said. “That’s dangerous,� Hamann-Roland said, adding that the Cedar and 147th intersection sees over 60,000 cars, trucks and buses each day.

LeRoy Stumpf, center, chair of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, on Dec. 2 as City Administrator Tom Lawell, right, looks on. (Photo by Andrew Miller) Members of the senate delegation were invited to make the walk from the southbound transit stop to the northbound stop, and then back to their bus at the southbound stop — a walk of about a quarter mile — to underscore the challenges pedestrians currently face there. The city has spent more than $2.6 million for the construction of the Red Line bus rapid transit system along Cedar Avenue and other highway improvements, and new development and redevelopment along the corridor in Apple Valley totals $82 million since 2011, city officials said. The transit station at 147th Street is located within the city’s “Jobs and Activity Center,� an area of about 400 acres surrounding the Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 intersection. As of 2014 the area had 450 businesses and an estimated 950 jobs. Kearney described the 147th Street transit station as “not complete� without the sky bridge, noting that the towers for the elevated walkway are already in place. “Imagine London Bridge

(Photo by Andrew Miller) if they built the towers, but didn’t complete the bridge,� he said. “The job has to be finished.� The transit station at 147th Street was one stop on the Senate Capital Investment Committee’s regional tour Dec. 2 of sites and projects seeking state funding through the bond-

ing bill, in a year in which the state has a $1.9 billion budget surplus. Other local stops for the senate delegation that day included the Minnesota Zoo and Inver Hills Community College. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc. com.

Council Member Jason Bartholomay said he doesn’t plan to step down from his position as a Farmington City Council member and asked people to reserve judgment until the impersonating a police officer citation against him goes through the court process. Two citizens came to Monday’s City Council Meeting asking for the resignation of Bartholomay. Tim Thompson said Bartholomay has embarrassed the city of Farmington and to the taxpayers he’s representing. “I don’t think it’s very ethical,� Thompson said. “I really, really don’t know how you expect people to give you respect back when you can’t earn that.� Lacelle Cordes, a former Farmington City Council member, said Bartholomay no longer has the confidence of the citizens of Farmington because of his recent actions and excuses. “I urge you to resign tonight to prevent any more ridicule and shame that you’ve brought to the city of Farmington,� Cordes said. At the end of the meeting, Bartholomay addressed the situation. “Under no circumstance did I do anything to impersonate an officer,� he said. “I expect to be acquitted of that charge. However, due to the court process, justice can take time.� He said he believes this is a learning opportunity for students in civic class on why it’s important that someone is innocent until proven guilty and thanked residents who didn’t rush judgement. “Like many of you have told me, something didn’t seem right and it didn’t feel like this was something I Email Andy Rogers at would do,� he said. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.

family and residents of Farmington “that this personal issue has become such an overly exaggerated issue over the last month.� “It won’t be much longer and I fully expect my name to be cleared,� Bartholomay said. Bartholomay was cited for impersonating a police officer, a misdemeanor, along with three counts of having illegal lights following an incident in Oct. 26. Bartholomay was pulled over by an officer responding to a report of a vehicle traveling through Apple Valley similar to that of a police car. The report said a witness saw his car with the lights activated and cars were pulling over in response. The police report did not state he was actively pulling anyone over, getting out of his car or approaching anyone. The report stated an Apple Valley officer observed a vehicle fitting the description in the area of 153rd Street and Cedar Avenue and observed what appeared to be flashing blue light reflected off a nearby structure. Bartholomay’s attorney Hillary Parsons told the newspaper last month Bartholomay is a trained therapist and volunteer who often responds to suicidal calls. During one of those situations, Bartholomay’s vehicle was parked along a roadside and another vehicle hit his, so he purchased the lights online. She said the report has been blown out of proportion. She said there’s no denying he had the lights, but there was no intent to impersonate a police officer and the statute requires intent. Bartholomay’s pre-trial hearing is scheduled for early January.

junior at Apple Valley High School and Hayden is an eighth-grader at St. Thomas Academy – but now each time the four of them volunteer together, it turns into a special event they refer to as “Forced Family Fun Time.� Volunteering as a family has given the Ousleys an opportunity to work together and build a stronger family bond. Each time two inches or more of snow comes down, they all grab their shovels and head over to Gail’s house. Their hard work is followed up with a “Caribou run� that gives them additional time together. “I like it – it’s fun to do it,� Hayden, 13 said. “You feel good about yourself

and kind of accomplished that you’re helping someone who couldn’t help themselves.� Madison, 16, agrees. “Sometimes in the morning, the rest of them want to get up and start shoveling really early,� she said. “I don’t want to get up, but once we get going, it’s fun. Hayden will throw snow at me, and all of a sudden you don’t realize you’re working – you’re doing something and you’re helping somebody.� “You can’t let that family time pass, and it’s not easy to carve time out of their schedules,� Jodi said. “This is a ‘requirement’ for us now – a way to be together and give back at the same time.� The Ousleys say they

understand they have it “pretty good� and “there’s more to life than iPhones and iPads.� Madison remembers two years ago when, “It snowed on Christmas Eve, and we didn’t open gifts until after all the shoveling was done. One way to look at it is that we can do this and they can’t,� she said. “I would want someone to do that for me when I get older.� To find out about volunteer opportunities at DARTS, go online to darts1.org, call 651-4551560 or email info@ darts1.org.

Winters, especially in Minnesota, can be a challenging time for many older homeowners. When the snow piles up, many seniors find it to be physically impossible or financially difficult for them to manage on their own. That’s when DARTS volunteers come to the rescue. Years ago, one senior in Dakota County described DARTS volunteers as, “just wonderful! I think of them as angels.� And so, the DARTS Snow Angel program was born. Keeping seniors’ sidewalks and driveways free from snow and ice helps them get safely to their vehicles or mailbox and allow family and other service providers access to their homes. In addition to making a meaningful impact on the life of an older homeowner, DARTS Snow Angels are making it a family affair. Three years ago, Burnsville residents Jim and Jodi Ousley began looking for volunteer projects with their daughter, Madison, and son, Hayden. Giving back to others was initially encouraged through the children’s schools – Madison is a

SUPPORT, from 1A where counselors were present to help students process their grief. “I think students were relieved to see him,� Braun said. He said there were “a lot of embraces� and “a lot of tears.� District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder said students and staff were “doing about as well as could be expected under the circumstances,� and noted that many students were taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with grief counselors in the Lakeville South auditorium. She said some students were sharing their thoughts on a posters and writing messages to Johnny or Jake. She said some sat alone or with a friend or met with clergy other faith community members who were available to help the students process their grief. “Our students are absolutely amazing at supporting each other,� Braun said. “That is something that we saw starting on Friday.� Braun described Price and Flynn as popular, outstanding athletes who were “absolutely loved� by students and staff and a “joy to be around.� At the school on Monday, two deans attended each class Price and Flynn would have been in and placed a rose at their empty desk in their memory during the class period. “They go to the boys classroom, and they share thoughts about the wonderful young men these two boys were,� Braun said. “That has really helped our students, it has really helped the ... instructor.� Local businesses, includ-

ing Cub Foods, Sam’s Club, Costco and Schmitty & Sons Bus Company, have provided supplies for students and staff members, Braun said. Snyder said Little Caesars also brought pizza to Lakeville South where hundreds had gathered late Friday to grieve and gain support. Lakeville South school resource officer Thor Howe described Friday night as a “huge gathering� of students, coaches and faith community members. Renae Ouilette, District 194 executive director of special education and student services, said as students left that night, counselors and police staff were asking them where they were going and if they were all right to drive. “It was so important to have their support to make sure we weren’t letting kids out of the building that were too distressed to be safe,� Ouilette said. Schmitty & Sons transported students to the funerals and posted stickers #LakevilleStrong on their buses for the week, a nod to thousands of social media posts expressing sorrow and sympathy. Ouilette said grief extends district-wide and the response has been significant. Siblings of Price and Flynn attend Lakeview Elementary, Kenwood Middle School, McGuire Elementary, and Ouilette said the crisis response team met Sunday to collaborate and coordinate efforts in those schools to address potential needs. She said they also included Lakeville North High School officials since many students from the high

schools know each other. “We had people deployed in every one of those schools, and had plans in place to manage that,� Ouilette said. Snyder said the accident also had a “profound impact� on staff across the district, and they utilized their employee assistance program to provide counseling and support. She said the district had two substitute teachers available “if any of our teachers need a break.� Snyder said the district also provided support for staff to help them know how to respond and talk to students who are in grief. Ouilette said district staff also worked to coordinate the logistics of getting students safely to and from the funerals. Schmitty & Sons provided bus services for students with permission to attend the funerals. Ouilette said staff members were on the buses and informed students of the expected time frame, practices of each church service and expectations of the students. Howe said everyone at the school has “really heavy hearts,� but students are being supportive of each other. He said moving forward, they will continue to keep an eye out on the emotional temperature of the school. “We’re asking all staff to keep their eyes and ears open, and if they have any concerns about a particular student we’re immediately responding to that by having someone check in on them or talk with them,� Ouilette said.

to go to St. Thomas after graduation. College freshman Ryan Bissonett said last year he also quickly made a friendship with Price, and remained in touch after he went to college, talking to Price every week on the phone. “I never became best friends with somebody that fast,� he said. “He’s one of those kids (who) everyone loved him.� Price was being recruited for Division 1 baseball, according to Price’s obituary, which described him as “an outstanding downhill skier� and strong Christian who “had a profound love for Jesus Christ.� Some friends said they have visited Hughes in the hospital where family has held vigil. Hughes has been unable to communicate because of his medical condition, according to Leslie. Lakeville South junior Tony Mussehl said Hughes was one of the first guys to reach out to him when he came to the school midway through his freshman year. They both played football, and when Hughes saw Mussehl did not have a partner to lift weights with, he invited him to lift with him. “It meant a lot to me,� Mussehl said. “He was kind of one of my first friends.� The crash has received significant media attention. Sympathy and support has poured out from

around the community and region. Monday morning, Lakeville South staff arrived to find a card and a poster from the Shakopee High School hockey team at the school’s front door. In an interview, Fairbault head basketball coach Brad Combs called the crash “heartbreaking.� On Saturday, Minnesota Blizzard coach Brent Peters drove from St. Peter to visit the memorial site that friends installed at the side of the road where the crash occurred. He said he felt compelled to come and represent the Blizzard coaches and players who played with Price for years. “There was this part of me that said if I didn’t stop by and say a prayer and send some positive thoughts to his friends and family that I would regret that,� Peters said. Buckley said she hears car doors and friends visiting the memorial site at all hours to pour out their grief. “The message everybody needs to hear is to reach out,� Buckley said. “If there’s something you need, let somebody know because everybody feels so helpless and we all need to continue supporting each other. Let people know what you need because they’re feeling helpless too and if there’s something somebody can do to support you, that’s what they need to do also.�

MOURNING, from 1A for Lakeville South, a strong hitter and played for years on the elite Minnesota Blizzard traveling baseball team. Lakeville South junior Mitchell Jacobson said he played football with Flynn for years and sat across from him at lunch every day. “He had such a great smile,� Jacobson said. “His smile was contagious. He was one of the nicest people.� Jacobson said Flynn was “insanely smart� and “had a really bright future,� with plans to attend college at University of Missouri, where his now brother attends, with hopes of walking on to play Division 1 football. “He just really wanted to go there because that’s where his family went,� Jacobson said. One of his favorite memories of Flynn was this summer when football team members went to the quarry and Flynn did back flips off the 35-foot cliff into the water. “That was a cool day together,� Jacobson said. “I’ll always remember that.� University of St. Thomas freshman Tommy Duckstad said he became best friends with Price last year. “He was such an amazing person,� Duckstad said through tears. “I can’t believe this.� Duckstad said if Price’s baseball plans did not work out, he was going

every week; the last team left standing wins. There is a fee to play, and he said the pot was $5,000 this year. Winners have typically donated their winnings to a charitable cause. Organizers said the money is being used to print T-shirts, make wrist bands and other commemorative items they plan to sell and raise money for the Price and Flynn families. At a Dec. 7 news conference, District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder said the game was not a sanctioned school event and “is not something that happens in our schools.� She said there has been no discipline incidents at either high school involving the game and no Nerf guns have been found in any of the schools. Snyder said parents should place parameters on actions they take when participating in events and activities. Lakeville Police Chief Jeff Long encouraged parents to talk to kids about safety and paying attention when driving and to set a good example by following the law and being respectful to other drivers. “We have all sorts of distracted driving when it comes to telephones, both by teens and adults,� Long said. “And what young people garner most from adults is the modeling that adults do.�

“We will gather that information and then compare that with what the State Patrol has in their reconstruction of the crash based on the facts,� Leslie said. “So where were the skid marks, where was the first gouge in the roadway where the vehicle ended up, that kind of thing.� On social media, Lakeville South students quickly connected the crash to Nerf War games they play and immediately halted the game. Game organizer told the newspaper that Flynn was being kidnapped as part of the game and taken off site to be shot with the Nerf gun. They have also suspended play permanently in Lakeville. Lakeville police Chief Deputy John Kornmann has said teens have played the game in Lakeville for about 15 years. The popular game fundraiser involved teams that shoot each other with Nerf darts. Elaborate rules for the game state shootings cannot take place on school grounds. Lakeville South senior Cody Starin said he talked to Price about five minutes before they left to kidnap Flynn to complete their team’s mission for the week.

Sports #LakevilleStrong

The student sections from Lakeville South (upper right) and Lakeville North (lower left), many wearing blue in honor of Lakeville South High School students Johnny Price and Jake Flynn, reacted to plays during Tuesday’s North-South boys basketball game at Lakeville North. The event also served as a tribute to Price and Flynn, who died in a car accident Friday afternoon. Players from both teams, wearing blue warmup shirts (the favorite color of Price and Flynn) formed a circle on the court and held hands during a moment of silence before the game. Once the fans settled in, they were treated to a rousing game won by Lakeville North 78-77. Nathan Reuvers (upper left) led North with 24 points; South guard Jack Sorenson had a game-high 32.

Animal Legal Defense Fund may sue Fur-Ever Wild The Animal Legal Defense Fund sent the U.S. Department of the Interior a 60-day notice of intent to sue FurEver Wild in Eureka Township on Dec. 2 for allegedly violating the Endangered Species Act, according to a press release from ALDF. ALDF is asking FurEver Wild to agree to stop killing and skinning wolves or the organization will file suit in 60 days. “Fur-Ever Wild shows contempt not only for the lives of magnificent endangered animals but also for federal law,” wrote Stephen Wells, ex-

ecutive director of the ALDF in a release. “We hope Fur-Ever Wild will agree to cease its wolfkilling operation in the next 60 days but, if not, we intend to sue to assure the law is enforced.” Fur-Ever Wild is located on 100 acres in Eureka Township and houses animals such as cougars, bobcats, otters, beavers, lynx, fishers, martens and badgers who were born in captivity, according to its website. Owner Terri Petter told the Blake Hills Pioneer newspaper in South Dakota that the wolves aren’t used for fur unless

they die naturally and they harvest very little fur. A phone call placed to Petter was not returned as of press time. Records state that Fur-Ever Wild has had more than 20 grey wolves on its property as of 2013. The gray wolf is a listed species under the Endangered Species Act. ALDF alleges that by using wolf pups as an attraction in its petting zoo, then later skinning them for their fur, violates Section 9 of the Act and is subject to civil or criminal penalties.

Local senators recognized

Christmas cantata

The Legislative Evaluation Assembly of Minnesota (LEA) recognized Sens. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, and Dan Hall, R-Burnsville, in its 2015 Report on the Minnesota Legislature. Thompson and Hall were among six Senate honorees. There were no House honorees. The criteria for recognition is based on the adherence to the organization’s creed of legislators performing according to “traditional American principals of constitutionalism, limited government, free enterprise, legal and moral order with justice and individual liberty and dignity.” The LEA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization established to keep the citizens of Minnesota informed of both important legislation and the voting performance of each senator and representative in the Minnesota state Legislature.

Presbyterian Church of the Apostles in Burnsville will present a cantata called “The Christmas Truce” at its 10 a.m. service Sunday, Dec. 20.

Thisweekend Holiday humor of ‘Elf’ comes to Lakeville Musical ‘Elf Jr.’ runs Dec. 11-27 at arts center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Fans of the 2003 Christmas comedy film “Elf� starring Will Ferrell will find lots to like about “Elf Jr.: The Musical.� The Play’s The Thing Productions, which will be presenting the regional premiere of “Elf Jr.� Dec. 11-27 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, is embracing the whimsical, childlike spirit of the original film, according to director and producer Dayna Railton. “It’s a lot like the movie — if you like the movie, you’ll like the show, which has the added bonus of singing and dancing,� said Railton, who founded the Lakeville-based theater

group in 2009. The charm of the show has a lot to do with Buddy, the human raised as one of Santa’s elves who goes in search of his human father. Played by Ferrell in the film, Buddy is played by 15-year-old Camden Mast, of Lakeville, in the TPTT show. “It makes us all kind of rediscover our inner child,� Railton said of Buddy’s antics, such as when he unintentionally wreaks havoc in his father’s business office, or when he lapses into high dudgeon upon realizing a department store Santa isn’t the real McCoy. “He approaches everything with a childlike quality.� Railton said “Elf Jr.� is a family-oriented show that will appeal to fans of the 2003 film and even those Fifteen-year-old Camden Mast, of Lakeville, is cast as Buddy, a human raised as one unfamiliar with it.

Many of the acts are musicians he worked with while serving as booking manager at Rudy’s Redeye Grill in Lakeville from 2007 to 2010. “I started a ‘local musician night’ back in 2008 when most of these musicians were just kids,� Kremer said. “Now eight years later they are all very successful musicians playing all over the metro area.� The 6-10 p.m. event kicks off with a social hour from 6-7 p.m., followed by 30 minute sets by each performer on the arts center stage.

Fieldhouse proposal evaluated Dan Corley, a 1994 Rosemount High School graduate, and a group of area residents are working to develop a plan that would place a projected 60,000-square-foot sports facility in Rosemount possibly by Dec. 31, 2018. (Graphic submitted)

Company would run recreational facility open to the public by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Imagine a place where parents could drop their children off for a basketball or volleyball practice then head upstairs for a workout or swim laps in a pool down the hallway. That’s what planners of Dakota Fieldhouse saw happening at a recreational facility in Waterloo, Iowa, and that they want to replicate in Rosemount. Dan Corley, a 1994 Rosemount High School graduate, and a group of area residents are working to develop a plan that would place a projected 60,000-square-foot sports facility in Rosemount possibly by Dec. 31, 2018. The Rosemount City Council approved a letter of intent in November with Dakota Fieldhouse LLC, Corley’s company that is based out of Lakeville where he lives in the Parkview Elementary School neighborhood that is part of the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District. The letter of intent details that the city would provide up to $1 million in financial assistance to Dakota Fieldhouse to help with construction costs as the company would provide public access to the pool through daily fees and 5,000 hours of gym space time to the Rosemount Area Athletic Association. The letter is non-binding and each party could cancel it at any time with 10 days written notice. It is in place with the idea that a definitive development agreement would be creat-

ed by the deadline of Dec. 31, 2016. The city’s financial assistance could come in the form of help with site acquisition or the development and construction of public improvements. Corley said the idea for the Dakota Fieldhouse emerged about two years ago after RAAA’s lack of gymnasium space forced its traveling basketball program to make roster cuts. As the city of Rosemount’s work with the YMCA of the Twin Cities to place a facility near Dakota County Technical College didn’t advance, Corley and some fellow RAAA parents investigated the idea of turning a current industrial property into gym space. During the process, the group realized it needed a monthly recurring revenue to support a gym space. It was determined that adding a pool and fitness center to the project would provide that monthly revenue, and the group set out to forge the Dakota Fieldhouse plan. Corley said the trend is for recreation and fitness centers to combine in an effort to avoid the situation of where a family needs to drop off a child at a school for a sports practice and then drive somewhere else for a parent’s workout. “That type of model creates a fun, family atmosphere,� Corley said. Another facet of the facility that Corley sees great potential for is making it a center for adaptive sports, such as soccer, basketball and softball. One of the project partners is Interme-

diate School District 917, which is an educational cooperative for area special needs students. “There are very few that are out there building space for kids with special needs,� said Corley, who has a son with special needs. There are a lot of elements that need to be determined before Dakota Fieldhouse is a reality. The company is in the process of evaluating the cost-benefit of each proposed component of the concept plan, so an estimated total project cost has not been identified. What the planners know

The Dakota Fieldhouse plan calls for the main gym area consisting of space that could be modified for use as six, two or one basketball or volleyball court(s). The gym would be overlooked by a running track on the second level. The aquatics area is shown as having a lap pool in addition to a zero-entry swim area meant for recreation and children. The building’s second level is shown as having exercise areas for free weights, weight machines, cardio machines and a group fitness area. Other features of the plan are classroom and meeting space, offices, a childcare center, pro shop, cafe, locker rooms and a rehabilitation clinic. (Graphics submitted) is that RAAA has previously expressed its top priority is the need for additional court and gymnasium space. From 2013 to 2015, participation in RAAA InHouse and Traveling basketball has increased from 803 to 975 players. With that in mind, the Dakota Fieldhouse plan calls for the main gym area consisting of space that could be modified for use as six, two or one basketball or volleyball court(s). The gym would be over-

looked by a running track on the second level. The aquatics area is shown as having a lap pool in addition to a zero-entry swim area meant for recreation and children. The building’s second level is shown as having exercise areas for free weights, weight machines, cardio machines and a group fitness area. Other features of the plan are classroom and meeting space, offices, a childcare center, pro shop, cafe, locker rooms and a re-

habilitation clinic. Corley, who owned a land development company for a number of years, said Dakota Fieldhouse has two verbal commitments from two banks to provide financing. The company has also circulated investment opportunity documents to groups that could be potential stakeholders. “The reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive,� Corley said. The name of Dakota Fieldhouse was intentionally inclusive of Dakota

County since Corley said RAAA draws participants from 13 different communities. The city previously used the letter of intent framework in seeking a developer to build a senior housing facility, which eventually became The Rosemount north of the city-owned Steeple Center.
