Lakeville South High School Advanced Placement chemistry students performed interactive science demonstrations for the community and family members Friday, Dec. 7, at the Lakeville South auditorium. The students spent the pun-filled evening trying to defeat Syndrome — a fictional character from the movie “The Incredibles” — by creating real-life reactions that correlate to the superpowers within the movie. The students began the evening with a choreographed dance routine. Some students demonstrated how to inflate and pop balloons using different reactions as well as create bursts of flames, while some students glowed in the dark and used ice to boil water. In the end, their scientific experiments were able to defeat Syndrome.

The first open house to discuss the County Road 70 expansion project took place Thursday, Dec. 6, at Lakeville South High School.

The city of Lakeville and Dakota County are working together to expand County Road 70 to a four-lane divided highway from Cedar to Kenrick avenues. The project would include constructing turn lanes at major intersections, improving drainage, managing access and replacing traffic signals.

The project aims to add traffic capacity to industrial areas, reduce delays, improve drainage and storm water management as well as pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, according to Lakeville City Engineer Zach Johnson.

“We want to address

the residents’ concerns for access, noise and traffic volumes. We view the highway 70 project as an economic development project that pairs with the transportation projects that are located along that corridor,” Johnson said.

During the first open house, residents and business leaders came to voice their concerns regarding how construction will impact daily routes and if it will address the future needs of the city.

The road runs along the south side of Lakeville South High School and through Airlake Industrial Park.

According to Johnson, people in the community recognize the need for County Road 70 to be updated, mainly due to its high volume of traffic.

The goals of the project are to support regional See County Road, 17A

Sen. Matt Little hosts roundtable discussion Working toward lower insulin costs during 2019 legislative session

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A bipartisan roundtable discussion at the Capitol organized by Sen. Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville Dec. 11 aimed to highlight the rising cost of insulin.

“We need to reign in the immorally high cost of insulin,” he said. “According to the American Diabetes Association, the average list price of insulin nearly tripled between 2002 and 2013. In the last four years I believe it has gone up another 16 percent … I think we need to ask ourselves the question why are these prices increasing so fast.

Before the panelists spoke, seven people who have been affected by diabetes and the cost of insulin shared their stories.

Lakeville resident and college professor Rob Kilbourn was one of them.

Kilbourn was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes two years ago. Unlike those with Type 1 diabetes his body still produces some insulin. He said many of those with Type 2 diabetes rely on insulin to stay alive.

“I worked in the dia-

Country singer visits The Moments The intimate concert provided understanding and awareness for those with Alzheimer’s

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Moments Alzheimer’s and Dementia Memory Care in Lakeville opened its doors to raise awareness and enjoy some country music.

Having the country music singer Jay Allen visit the community was the last thing The Moments president Robyn Johnson thought would happen after she mentioned to a friend it would be great if he did actually come to visit.

The Nashville-based country singer not only came to Lakeville to visit the center but put on a performance for its residents and their families on Dec 8. Allen performed his song “Blank Stares,” which has gained popularity due to the song focusing on his mother’s journey of living with Alzheimer’s disease.

“Jay did that out of the generosity of his heart.

We said if he’s coming out, we offered to bring his family up from Des Moines for the day and we could provide a supportive environment for them,” Johnson said.

Allen’s mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at age 54.

It was when Allen’s serenade to his mother went viral that the song began gaining in popularity and Allen hoped to raise more

Country music singer Jay Allen visited The Moments Alzheimer’s and Dementia Memory Care in Lakeville Saturday, Dec. 7, where he performed for the residents and their loved ones. Allen’s single “Blank Stares” rose to popularity after he sang it to his mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 54 years old, onstage. awareness for the disease.

The Moments is home to 32 memory care patients, who along with their families filled the audience out to approximately 200 members. Allen played for 40 minutes including his hit song “Blank Stares.”

“It was really touching. It was also unusual because you are singing to an audience of people who are going through the same kind of experiences as you and it created a much different kind of

experience than a concert Johnson added that setting,” Johnson said.

disease and hopes to continue to do that within the Lakeville community and on a more national level.

“In the last year, we’ve had quite a few people show up on our door to see what makes us different … because they hear about this place and want to see it. I think we are starting to get recognition within the industry for doing something really special,” Johnson said.

The Moments is a specialized memory care community that differs from assisted-living facilities because it only focuses on memory care patients.

“We created The Moments with the mindset that we can increase the quality of care. We started with the building itself,” Johnson said.

The building is a twostory building with one level because Johnson said they wanted their patients to have a lot of natural light. The floors are also heated and the air is

filtered from any unnecessary fragrances. The community also includes 24hour nursing, a medical director and medical services so residents do not have to take unnecessary trips to the pharmacy or hospital.

The food is also something Johnson said the residents enjoy.

The made-from-scratch, seasonal dishes are served in smaller portions multiple times throughout the day.

“The fact that everything is made from scratch is very pleasing, and we think that’s one of the greatest joys in life, … but there are a lot of different components. It isn’t just one thing. When you walk into The Moments, you feel a loving and optimistic environment,” she said.

Opinion The state will flourish or fail with ‘One Minnesota’

by Keith Anderson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Produce, protect, prepare.

That is a simple trajectory many of us subconsciously follow in life. Our jobs allow us to be part of something that creates a product or a service, which in turn pays us a wage to sustain our way of life, protect our families and set us on a course of preparation for retirement.

It’s a comfortable routine to repeat, until something gets in our path. That “something” can easily be viewed as an irritant or even a threat.

In 2018, the polarization of politics may be that threat.

Never before has the political climate been so charged, acrimonious and deliberately divisive that long-time friends have stopped talking. Family members have sidestepped critical community topics in order to avoid the weary battles about the left and the right. This “us” vs. “them” mentality is preventing real growth as a state and nation because it’s so easy to be consumed in protecting what is ours.

When we are unable to engage in discourse with a shared goal of trying to make our community, county, state and union a better place for today and the future, we are missing an opportunity.

We can’t arrive at solutions if we dig in

Staff Columnist Keith Anderson so deep that compromise isn’t even an option.

According to a July 2018 Pew Research Center survey of 4,581 U.S. adults, when it comes to important issues facing the country, 78 percent of Republicans and Democrats disagree not only on plans and policies, but also on basic facts. Can’t agree on basic facts. That is a problem.

We see the chasm, but feel helpless to correct it, even if deep down we truly want a solution because we know for the nation and our children, we need to do better.

So, we are in this moment, almost suspended, when it feels as though silently we are waiting for somebody to shed some light, offer something that will help us feel more unified and connected as Minnesotans.

Enter Gov.-elect Tim Walz. He promoted the “One Minnesota” theme throughout his campaign. And it’s remained in the curriculum during his jeans and flannel journey ramp up to

the governorship.

Fresh on the heels of a weeklong listening tour of Minnesota, he has continued to underline that idea. Is it lip service or a weapon to disarm the tunnel-vision mentality that has plagued our political system and tainted the populace? Time will reveal the true motivation of that message.

But make no mistake, as governor of a split Legislature, he may be in the perfect place and time to be the voice of reason and lead as a statesman who understands citizens come first, party second.

There is an army of residents who have been waiting for somebody to remind them, mostly through example, that it’s noble, meaningful and necessary to step forward and serve their community and state to be part of something bigger than self. Their nonpartisan skills and time are needed at food shelves to help feed the hungry, at local schools where volunteers can reduce the burden for our teachers, in our places of worship, where important work is being done in the area of poverty and housing, at sexual violence centers, where women and children need support, in our hospitals, service clubs and numerous other organizations where volunteers can literally change lives.

The Rotary’s motto of “service above self ” was never more appropriate to the health of our nation than it is now. And that applies equally to elected officials.

We want to believe we can be better. We want to be beacons of hope. We want to share rather than take. Help rather than hide. Communicate instead of criticize. But we, and our representatives in elected office, may just need a nudge in that direction.

Leadership does matter in our society and when it’s handled with responsibility, respect and grace, it can inspire.

One Minnesota is possible. But it must not be squandered or dismissed by the governor when it no longer serves as a springboard. The state’s highest leader cannot solve every problem, but he can be a bridge to compromise in a divided Legislature and serve as a visionary for a fractured citizenry.

People want a better Minnesota and now more than ever are ready to participate in the process. Please don’t break this promise, Mr. Governor, and don’t obliterate the hope that is waiting to blossom. This is a collective moment and Minnesotans are ready to heal and serve.

We need low infrastructure-dedicated tax on goods. A low tax, as low as 1 percent or even 0.5 percent, would have minimal impact of most people while having a big impact on our infrastructure.

Whether we drive an electric vehicle, a gas guzzler, or take public transport an infrastructurededicated tax would affect all Minnesotans because we all use items daily that requires the use of our infrastructure. It’s a longterm solution that needs serious consideration.

Our state is currently experiencing a budget surplus of $1.5 billion, not to mention the federal government’s decision to award Minnesota with tens of millions of dollars to combat the opioid epidemic — including $18 million this past October.

Yet, we’re still considering reaching into the pockets of taxpayers and vulnerable patients to fund opioid abuse and misuse prevention.

Legislators need to consider using the funds that they already have to put an end to the opioid epidemic. Taxing the health care industry will only lead to economic losses and worse quality of life.

Opinion How we can support students through a stressful times

by Michael Berndt SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

We all know that the holidays can be stressful. Winter travel, family responsibilities, holiday preparations, short days, and long nights can leave us feeling a bit overwhelmed.

College students, including our students at Dakota County Technical College and Inver Hills Community College, have the additional stress of completing their courses and getting ready for next term. This time of year hits some of our learners especially hard because they are already dealing with insecurities in food, housing, clothing, child care, and transportation.

We are the community in our state’s community colleges. We can honor the season by encouraging these learners to persist and to use the colleges’ and communities’ support services.

The University of Minnesota’s 2018 College Student Health Survey found that 73 percent of college students reported that stress was an issue. It was reported that 40.5 percent were managing mental health issues, with anxiety

Guest Columnist Michael Berndt and depression being the most common.

These statistics are concerning. We want to do everything we can to help students feel supported, so they can thrive in our Dakota County learning environments.

At Inver Hills and DCTC, we provide holistic support services that include career development and academic planning. These services help students stay on a path to learning and completion of their programs of study.

Our colleges work proactively with students to identify potential barriers to their success – from health issues and lack of housing to food insecurity. Our staff meet with students regularly to assess their situation, recommend possible solutions, and refer them to additional resources or services as appropriate.

For example, we provide access to a mobile pantry, connect students to

affordable housing options, and help them find temporary transportation solutions. We also provide resources for students who have mental health challenges, including self-care resources, workshops, and referrals to professional mental health service providers. Our financial aid office and foundation also provide emergency grants to students in need.

At Inver Hills and DCTC, we provide additional assistance to veterans through our Veterans Service Centers, which provide space for fostering camaraderie, studying, volunteering, and accessing support services. Both colleges have been nationally recognized for our support of veterans and their families.

Sometimes students have a challenging first semester, but this does not mean they will be unsuccessful in college. Students can meet with our counselors and advisors to develop a success plan for the following term, which can include regular check-ins and academic tutoring. We also provide peer mentoring opportunities, especially for students who are the first in their families to go to college.

If we don’t have needed resources at DCTC or Inver Hills, we can connect learners to local agencies like the Lewis House, the Community Action Partnership, or 360 Communities. We also collaborate with outreach agencies to support veterans, including the VA Medical Center, St. Paul Vet Center, and the Family Assistance Center. We are fortunate to have committed public and private organizations in Dakota and Scott Counties and greater metropolitan community to support our learners.

By pursuing a degree, our students are investing in themselves and in their community. I encourage you to support them in that investment. Please take time this holiday season to check in with the learners around you –whether in your own family, neighborhood, place of worship, or workplace. Ask them how things are going, and let them know you are cheering for them. It can make a significant difference.

Letters Following in Congressman Lewis’ footsteps?

To the editor: It was interesting to watch the 2nd District race for Congress, and it’s going to be notable as we go forward because so much was new and so much stayed the same.

For example, U.S. Rep. Lewis initiated and delivered on legislation that provided benefits to these issues: career and technical education, tax breaks for families and business-

es, the individual mandate portion of ObamaCare eliminated and criminal justice reform. Now, U.S. Rep.-elect Angie Craig says she was for all those things too, with an emphasis on health care (although she provides no details to her policy positions).

So, Lewis has already done these things and now Craig will be the “new and improved” model of the Lewis accomplishments?

Or, scrap the reforms and let the Democratic Party and Nancy Pelosi give her, her marching orders?

I’m putting my money on Craig’s loyalty to the Democratic Party vs. loyalty to constituents of the 2nd District.

The thing that we can be thankful for is that Lewis left her a model to follow.

Now the gauntlet is in place — and the citizens are watching.

Looking to the future for history’s sake Dakota County Historical Society aims to continue community outreach

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Most people have a hard time managing the photos and videos they take as their lives evolve.

Whether it’s the hundreds of photos they captured on a recent vacation or the thousands they have of their young children, downloading, printing and archiving them seems like a full-time job.

Now think of the task the small staff of the Dakota County Historical Society has in documenting the lives of the third most populous county in Minnesota. Think of all those photos, all those videos, and all those artifacts predating the formation of the county 169 years ago.

As the Historical Society looks ahead to a new year, it aims to enlist the help of county residents in documenting history through their participation in events, volunteerism and financial support.

Executive Director Matthew Carter says the society will continue to focus its efforts on community outreach to show people how history matters in their lives, as it encourages local residents to consider visiting one of its three sites, donating their time or money, or becoming a member of the society.

All of those ways help the society better document Dakota County’s history since the majority of its budget depends on admissions, fees, donations and memberships.

Carter, who has been with the society since 2016, said it made about 50 presentations in 2018 to school, community and service groups. A couple hundred events, including private special occasions, were held in the past year.

A 10-milliliter vial of Because his father’s insulin can cost between blood sugar levels were so $300 to $400. Kilbourn

used a current calculator to figure out how much a gallon of insulin would cost.

“There are 3,785 milliliters in a gallon. I know we are all worried about the price of gas per gallon. If we talk about the price of insulin per gallon, at $300 (for a milliliter), which is the low end, we’re talking about $113,000 for that gallon of insulin. That makes it one of the top expensive liquids in the world,” Kilbourn said.

Other presenters shared the same concern as Kilbourn.

Alexis Stanley was re-

cently diagnosed with Type 1 after her 19 birthday. She expressed concerns about being able to afford insulin after she goes off her parents health insurance. She said her mother is only staying at a job she does not like because of the health benefits.

Nicole Smith-Holt’s son, Alec, died in 2017 of diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication of diabetes that occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids. Alec was newly off his mother’s insurance, his job did not offer health benefits and

he was paying for his insulin out-of-pocket. When he couldn’t afford insulin, Smith-Holt believes he tried to stretch out the insulin he had.

Legislative panelists agreed the cost should be brought down as well as health care costs in general.

“As a family medicine doctor I work with people with diabetes in the clinic and as an ER doctor I take people in when they don’t have access to their medicine,” Mann said. “The cost of insulin as well as asthma inhalers is one of the big reasons why I’m

here today. … We need to look at what we can do in health care as a whole because it’s not just insulin.

It’s other medications and services.”

The 2019 legislative session begins Jan. 8, 2019.

Little said he will be requesting public hearings for new legislation to reign in the cost of insulin.

Woman writes about journeys traveling to all 50 states

By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Growing up in a family of 10 kids living on a farm a mile north of Morgan, Minnesota, Lori Spangler’s biggest travel experience was a 20-mile trip to her grandparents’ home in Wanda, Minnesota.

“I was child number eight, a typical farm kid,” Spangler said. “I had five older sisters, two older brothers, and two younger brothers.”

She recalls visiting Iowa when she was 10 years old, a trip to the Minnesota State Fair, periodic trips to Minneapolis to visit her godparents, and one short hop over the border so, as her father pointed out, she and her siblings could say they’d been to Canada.

When Spangler was 23, she took a train to Texas to visit one of her brothers. And she once rode the Greyhound bus to work as a waitress in a resort in the Black Hills in South Dakota. “That was very mindopening,” she said.

The next state she visited was Wisconsin, accompanied by another waitress she’d met in the Black Hills. She recalls the two attending a Quaker church service in LaCrosse.

Lori Spangler has visited all 50 states, and has written a book detailing her travel experiences.

After college, she moved to Colorado and worked at a summer camp for children ages 10-12, which included a sevenday backpacking trip with six girls, carrying all their supplies on an uphill hike.

Colorado gave Spangler a chance to climb Pike’s Peak.

Seven years later, she moved back to Minnesota.

Her horizons broadened, and by 1996, after completing a master’s degree in training and development at the age of 39, Spangler decided she needed she needed a new challenge.

“I’d never married, I had no children and no pets,” Spangler said. “I had plants.”

By then, she’d traveled to 20 different states. But the new challenge she set for herself was to travel to the remaining 30 states. In the next 15 years, she achieved that goal. In 2016, Spangler wrote a book about her adventures, titled “Miles of Memories: One Woman’s Journey to All 50 States.”

“I never thought in 2 million years that I would write a book,” she said. “I thought at first it would be a pamphlet, but it became a memoir.”

Having become used to living alone, she liked traveling alone, Spangler said.

‘I tried to make the most of it,” she said.

Each chapter of the book contains “Lori’s learning” notes at the end of the chapter, as well as each state’s history and

trivia she picked up along the way.

She claims she didn’t have a favorite state. “Each region of the country has its own personality, and I appreciated them all,” she said.

“I thought I wouldn’t like Alabama and Mississippi, but then I found the birthplace of Helen Keller. I thought the people would be country hicks, but I was totally wrong. I met so many nice people.”

She enjoyed a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a place in Corinth, Mississippi, where the North-South, East-West railroads meet. “There was a huge Civil War battle there,” Spangler said. “It’s hard to imagine how it must have been.”

She recalls the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum in Texas, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in California and the JFK Presidential Library in Boston. She saw Graceland, St. Jude’s Medical Center and the Indianapolis Speedway.

“I liked to go to local pottery places, or places where people had crafts,” she said.

The second-to-last state was Wyoming, where she spent a weekend at the Sylvan See Journeys, Next Page

Mindful travel builds new memories for seniors More seniors are traveling today than ever before. Travel has become an integral part of many senior’s retirement plans; because they now have the time, money and health to go where they want to go, when they want to go. It also helps that accommodations for older travelers have improved immensely all around the world.

The new generation of older adults is choosing to travel for a variety of reasons. Some travel for adventure, learning opportunities or to complete a “bucket list”. Others travel just for fun or to seek warmer weather.

And some are like Robert Louis Stevenson who said, “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake.”

Perhaps, the best reason for late-life travel is simply to build new memories that can be enjoyed for the rest of your life. The problem is that memory-building doesn’t just happen because you go

someplace. It has to be mindful and intentional.

Some people who travel the most remember the least. They rush through trips so quickly they don’t know what they’ve seen or why it’s worth seeing.

Some of these travelers only see

the sights and highlights of their trip through the lens of their smartphone.

They return home with lots of selfies for Facebook, but better to slow down and smell the local roses than to hurry through a packed itinerary that only skims the surface.

That’s why Zach Beattie, founder of Off the Grid Travel, says the focus of his tours is “mindful travel and not just cramming ever site into our trip.”

To bank lifelong memories, mindful travel requires digging beneath the surface. The impressions etched in your heart and mind are more important than the images recorded on your cellphone.

To soak up as many meaningful memories as possible, some travel experts offer the following tips: -Under schedule. Allow time to see and do what you want. Don’t let a travel agent or tour guide dictate what you want to remember for the rest of your life.

-Practice what journalist Maria Shriver calls the “power of the pause.” Stop occasionally to be in the moment and fully appreciate what you’re experiencing.

-Limit use of cell phones. As Beattie explains, “When you’re someplace new, there’s a lot to see and lots of cool people to meet. Your phone can distract you.”

-Use all five senses. Try to become completely immersed in each location, sight or experience – even if it is only for a moment.

-Keep a journal. A picture may be worth a thousand words. But sometimes, only words can capture the emotion or mood of the moment.

Travel can be fun, entertaining, educational and life-changing. It can also be a gift that keeps on giving if you practice mindful travel. So the next time you drag your body off on a trip, take your mind along. You can’t have too many meaningful memories. Bon voyage!

Longtime friends travel together for 21 years

By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Twenty-one years ago, New Hope Mayor Kathi Hemken and a woman who had been her elementary school classmate decided to go to Ireland together.

They rounded up 10 other friends who also wanted to make the trip.

“After that first trip, we knew what we had was magic,” Hemken said.

Little did the group know then that an annual trip would figure prominently on their calendars for the next two decades. Since that first trip, the women have planned vacations together in Spain, New York, England, Seattle, Quebec, Chicago, Connecticut, Vancouver, Nova Scotia, Boston, Savannah and Memphis. They even spent a couple of trips exploring downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The group is down to eight women now. Their trips vary between one and two weeks in length.

“After we get home from an adventure, we talk about where we want to go next,” Hemken said. “We meet a few times during the year, and people bring ideas. We all keep in touch.”

Organization is key. Each person in the group has a job to do, and the jobs rotate. One is in charge of making flight arrangements a couple of months in advance of the trip, another takes care of booking hotels or sometimes renting a house for their stay, someone else arranges for transportation, and another orders tickets in advance for shows or tours.

“Before we leave town, we have an

itinerary,” Hemken said. “We do a little homework first. There are no decisions left to make on the trip. We already have the tickets and passes we need. We do some touristy things, and some not.

We visit food trucks during the day; we don’t eat at fancy places for dinner, and we don’t go out every night. We always leave a day to two to shop. We never go anywhere alone. That’s kind of an unspoken rule, and we’re OK with that.”

They try to walk whenever possible.

Occasionally, the group has hired a driver for the week who is given their itinerary and knows where they’ll be going and when.

“In New York, we walked when we could; in Boston, we took the subway,” Hemken said.

“We’ve been on ghost tours, we’ve ridden on pedal bikes and ferris wheels, we went on a gondola in Venice,” she said.

When they went to Washington, D.C., the son of one of the group’s members had connections that enabled them to get tickets and a tour of the Black History Museum before it opened.

“One gal’s family had hosted a foreign exchange student from Austria, and he later became the Austrian ambassador to the U.N.,” Hemken said. “When we went to New York, his wife invited us to lunch. We were picked up in a limo, driven to the U.N. and got a tour of the chambers, and then to their residence. It was just so elegant.”

Another member of the tour group has a brother who is a priest stationed at the Vatican, and that resulted in a chance to see the pope on their trip to Italy.

“This year we went to Toronto because one of the women had never seen Niagara Falls,” Hemken said.

They were touring a winery in Seattle one year when Hemken got word that her husband, the late Bud Hemken, had suffered a heart attack and needed bypass surgery. “The women figured out how to get me on a plane back to Minneapolis,” she said. “Two of them packed my bag.

They made arrangements for me to be picked up at the airport in Minneapolis and taken to the hospital.

“We all help each other out. It’s like having seven sisters. Actually, it’s just wonderful. The group is important to all of us. We’ve never had an argument in 21 years.”

To ensure that members don’t forget their tours, one of the members who is a jeweler gives each of the women a charm after every trip. The necklace holding the charms is treasured, according to Hemken.

One of the members is entrusted with the job of journaling during the trip and printing out a copy for each member.

“It’s a nice reminder,” Hemken said.

Ever mindful of her duties as New Hope mayor, Hemken said, “I always arrange to go so I won’t miss a city council meeting.”

She has always enjoyed traveling, Hemken said. In addition to her 21year travel group, she has been sailing with another group of women for 32 years. “We took a sailing class together at North Hennepin Community College because we needed a physical education credit,” she said. “For the final, we took a sailing trip on the instructor’s boat in Lake Superior.”

They’ve continued to take an annual three-day sailing trip with their instructor each year since then. “We pull in the anchor and pull up the sail, and he cooks the chicken,” Hemken said. “We have really good food. We bring tablecloths and candlesticks We started with 12 women; now we’re down to five.”

For many years, Hemken said, she went on skiing trips with another group of women.

“I have a lot of women friends,” she said. “Bud thought it was really important for me to have women friends. He encouraged that.”

Spangler used AAA Tour Books and researched things that would be of interest to her in each state.

She treasures a sweetgrass basket she bought in South Carolina. Another fa-

vorite souvenir was a glass turtle necklace she bought in Hawaii, after meeting a saleswoman who told her it symbolized long life and prosperity. “I wear it as my good luck piece,” she said.

One of Spangler’s nieces has compiled a scrapbook of all her travels.

Now that she’s completed her goal, Spangler has a word of advice. “When you get invited to visit a relative or friend, go,” she said. “Don’t wait for a funeral.”

It took her five years to write her book, Spangler said. “I didn’t have a deadline,” she noted. She has appeared at book clubs, book fairs, and on a couple of local TV stations. “It’s just been fun talking about my book and traveling,” she said.

After she completed her goal, she discovered the existence of the All Fifty States Club, which could have been a resource for her.

She has done some international travel,

and would like to do more, Spangler said.

Spangler has a bachelor’s degree in corrections, plus one graduate degree in training and development, and another in communications and public speaking.

During her college years, she worked at a group home for juvenile delinquents and a shelter for battered women. Since then, she has taught communications at the college level.

COUNTY ROAD, from 1A mobility, provide a safe passage as well as accommodate needs for the next 20 years of growth. Johnson adds that major truck and businesses along County Road 70 are continuing to grow and believes the four-lane highway will reduce delays.

A timeline for the project has been established; however details on how construction will affect access to drivers is not

currently known.

Johnson said Dakota County and the city of Lakeville’s goal is to have the preliminary design completed by January 2019, the final design done by February 2020, advertise the project in March of 2020, start construction the spring of 2020 and finish the project by the fall of 2021.

Currently, there are no roundabouts proposed and all of the traffic signals are expected to stay

with the exception of the Hamburg Avenue intersection. According to Johnson, that intersection is the only real change staff are looking further into. The intersection is currently a four-way stop and could become a twoway stop. No decision has been made.

Additional open houses are expected to take place once the design is completed and before construction begins.

Information about the

project can be found at http://www.highway70expansionproject.com.

Sports Panthers need some time to get in sync Boys basketball team 2-1 despite late start for some players

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Despite spotting other teams a one- to two-week head start, Lakeville North’s boys basketball team won two of its first three games, and coach John Oxton said he believes the Panthers are in a good place.

“Definitely the pieces are there,” Oxton said.

“We’ve just got to figure out how to play together.

Once we do that we’ll be pretty good.”

What’s the holdup?

Lakeville North’s run to the state Class 6A football championship. The conclusion of football season and the start of basketball season overlapped, meaning several North athletes who play both sports missed a week or more of basketball practice.

Oxton, a former Lakeville North assistant football coach, was willing to wait even if it meant the Panthers weren’t at their best at Saturday’s Breakdown Tip-Off Classic, where they lost to Hopkins 78-72.

“Our football guys have people have practiced 15, had seven practices. Other 16 times,” Oxton said.

Suddenly stingy North wins four in a row Girls hockey team is now specializing in shutouts

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North’s girls hockey team was disappointed to be 1-4 after five games. But then the Panthers did something about it.

They stopped allowing goals, which can do wonders for a team’s record.

Four consecutive shutouts against Rosemount, Prior Lake, Eastview and Minnetonka sent them above .500 at 5-4. They are tied for second place in the South Suburban Conference at 4-2.

North coach Buck Kochevar said the Panthers didn’t panic after the slow start. For one thing, there are almost two months left in the regular season.

For another, this appears to be an uncommonly

balanced year in the South Suburban. Going into this week, all SSC teams had played five league games. Nine of the 10 teams had won at least one. Nine of the 10 also had lost at least two.

“The conference might be as even as I’ve ever seen it,” Kochevar said.

“For teams like ours, that means we have to be good at the little things, and that’s what we’ve been working on in practice – positioning, face-offs, things like that.”

Two of North’s conference victories were by one goal – including a 3-2 victory over Lakeville South on Nov. 20 that went into overtime – and another was by two goals.

Their SSC losses were by one and two goals.

That’s the way it might be all season for the Panthers, who graduated four of their top five scorers from last season. They See Hockey, 20A

“Our shooting, our timing, everything is just off a little bit, and you have to give Hopkins credit.

They’re a very good team.

They’d be hard to beat even if we’re hitting on all cylinders.”

The Panthers, who have a seven-year streak of state tournament appearances, are expected to challenge to return to the Target Center in March.

Lakeville North is ranked third in Class 4A by Minnesota Basketball News and return starters Tyler Wahl and Tommy Jensen from a team that finished third in the 2018 state tourney.

Wahl, a 6-foot-7 senior who averaged 17.5 points and 11.9 rebounds last season, has committed to the University of Wisconsin. Oxton said Wahl understands what the Panthers need from him this season.

“The big thing is he’s got to be a decision-maker for us,” the coach said.

“We’re looking for him to be a great defender, he’s got to be a great rebounder and he’s just got to play

with the energy he normally plays with. He has to be our leader as far as effort and ability to make plays for other people as well as himself.

“We just love the energy he plays with. That’s huge.”

That should be fine with Wahl, who told Sun Thisweek Newspapers during the summer he is working on being a player who can take on multiple roles.

Wahl led the Panthers with 24 points in Saturday’s game against Hopkins, scored 29 in an 8566 victory over Rochester Century on Dec. 4 and had 28 in a 70-62 victory over Edina on Dec. 1. Senior guard Tommy Jensen, who averaged almost 11 points a game last year, had 17 in the Hopkins game.

Jensen, who plans to play basketball at Saint John’s, is one of several basketball players who also were on the football team. That group also includes forwards Eli Mostaert, Will Mostaert and Tate Staloch, and guards Josh Kamara, RaJa Nel-

son, Carter Patterson and Dawson Gode.

Senior forward Jack Rusch scored 12 points against Hopkins and Staloch added nine.

Jensen strained a knee ligament during the fall that caused him to miss one regular-season football game but appeared to move well in the Hopkins game. Will Mostaert broke his left hand late in the football season and didn’t play in Saturday’s game.

Lakeville North led by two points at halftime against Hopkins. In the second half the Royals, led by senior forward and University of Arizona commit Zeke Nnaji, made some contested shots while several North shots that looked like they could have gone in spun out instead.

“The effort’s been good. We’re just not quite there yet,” Oxton said.

“Defensively, we’ve been decent. We just have to get a little better every day and I think we’ll do that.

We have a lot of good athletes.”

Farmington breaks through against Lakeville North Girls basketball team ends long losing streak to SSC rival

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Containing Lakeville North sharpshooter Lauren Jensen takes more than one person. It takes a village, or at least a coordinated effort by all five opposing players.

Farmington was able to limit the damage Jensen inflicted in a South Suburban Conference girls basketball game Tuesday night. North’s star player had 16 points, but the Tigers pulled away in the second half for a 61-47 home-court victory and improved to 3-0 overall.

Jensen had scored more than 30 points in Lakeville North’s previous two games, including a schoolrecord 39 in a victory over Centennial. She averages 23.4 points a game.

“We did a good job of executing our defensive game plan,” Farmington coach Liz Carpentier said.

“We talked on the back side, had great rotation on our help and played team defense. One thing that went well for us was a lot

of times we limited them to one shot. We were in there rebounding, all five kids.”

Although it’s still early in the season, it was an important victory for a Farmington program that has had little success against Lakeville North.

Before Tuesday, the Tigers were 0-11 against North since joining the South Suburban Conference in 2014.

Sophomore guard Paige Kindseth had 21 points and was one of three Farmington players in double figures. Junior guard Molly Mogensen scored 17 points and sophomore forward Sophie Hart had 16.

Senior guard Analiese Tschida added 15 points for North, 2-3 overall.

Geneva Mattis and Sarah Kuma had seven and six points.

While Lakeville North slipped back below .500, it should be noted that its three losses have been against teams ranked in the top 10 in Class 4A. The Panthers have faced No. 1-ranked Hopkins, fourth-ranked St. Michael-Albertville and No. 8 Farmington.

Jensen set her school record of 39 points in an

83-81 victory over 11thranked Centennial on Dec. 6. She broke a record set in the early 2000s by Liz Podominick, a Miss Basketball award winner and McDonald’s AllAmerican who went on

to play in a Final Four at the University of Minnesota and later became one of the nation’s top discus throwers.

Tschida, a University of Minnesota Duluth commit, had 24 points in

20A Dec. 14, 2018 SUN THISWEEK LAKEVILLE Panthers, from 18A Hockey, from 18A Getting everybody up to speed as quickly as possible will help, given North’s upcoming schedule. The Panthers play at Chaska on Thursday, begin their South Suburban Conference schedule at Eastview on Tuesday, Dec. 18, and are home against Eden Prairie on Dec. 21. All three opponents are ranked in the top 20 in Class 4A. “One thing we like about our schedule and playing in our league is it’s going to show you what to work on to get where you want to go at the end of the year,” Oxton said. “We want to win them all, but we’ll just try to get better. If we do that, we’re going to be just fine.”

Mike Shaughnessy can be reached at mike. shaughnessy@ecm-inc. com.

might have to excel in lowscoring games because they have just 12 goals in their first seven. That includes shutout losses to Shakopee and Warroad in their first two games.

The Panthers pumped 36 shots at the Rosemount goal in a Nov. 29 South Suburban game but scored only once, by Olivia Mattis in the first minute of the third period. Fortunately for them, that was enough for a 1-0 victory.

“We need to finish, so we’ve got to get to the front of the net, get some rebounds and ‘dirty’ goals,” Kochevar said.

When asked how good the Panthers were at deflections in front of the net, Kochevar laughed and said the Panthers spent a significant part of a recent practice on precisely that.

The players seem receptive to the coaches’ ideas.

“I can’t say they don’t

work hard,” Kochevar said. “They leave it all on the ice. They come to the rink with smiles on their faces and really put in the effort.”

Brooke Power and Sydney Antonakis each had a goal and assist in a 4-0 victory over Prior Lake.

Mattis and Peyton Cullaton also scored, and Katie Doll had two assists.

Mattis and Power scored in the Panthers’ 2-0 victory over Eastview on Saturday at Ames Arena.

Through the first eight games, junior forwards Power (eight points), Antonakis (six) and Jamie Pritzlaff (four) have been North’s top scorers. Senior forward Olivia Reid also had four points, as did Mattis.

Defenders Megan Marquardt (senior), Sam Lackmann (junior), Chloe McKinney (sophomore), Doll (sophomore) and Meredith Jensen (ninth-

grader) all were on the varsity roster last year.

They’ll likely be asked to concentrate on defense instead of trying to duplicate the production from the Panthers’ top defender in 2017-18, Maggie Flaherty, who led the team in goals and points. Flaherty is now playing at Minnesota Duluth.

Reid, Marquardt, Cullaton and goalie Kallie Schneider are the only seniors on the roster. Cullaton, who has signed with Northeastern University, scored 15 points last year.

Schneider started every game last season as the Panthers went 14-11-1 and had a 2.15 goals-against average. She stopped 21 shots against Prior Lake and lowered her goalsagainst average to 2.01.

Amanda Lackmann, a junior who missed the 2017-18 season because of an injury, is the backup goalie. She has started

two games already as the Panthers don’t plan to ask Schneider to play every minute in goal again this year.

Lackmann faced only seven shots in the Eastview game and stopped them all.

“When Amanda was out last year, Kallie didn’t really have anybody to push her,” Kochevar said.

“It’s good for us to have two goalies who are ready to play in any situation.”

Lakeville North was outshot 35-21 in a nonconference game Tuesday night at Minnetonka, but Schneider stopped all the Skippers’ shots in a 3-0 North victory.

The Panthers took the lead on a goal by Cullaton about six minutes into the game. It remained 1-0 until the third, when North scored twice in the final seven minutes.

Jensen scored an evenstrength goal with 6 minutes, 9 seconds remain-

ing, then Power scored an empty-netter with 45 seconds remaining.

Reid and Antonakis had two assists each for the Panthers.

Minnetonka (5-5-1) was ranked 14th in Class AA by Let’s Play Hockey, while Lakeville North was unranked. Two South Suburban Conference teams were in the top 20 – SSC leader Eagan at No. 13 and Burnsville at 15th.

The Panthers will return to South Suburban play at Burnsville at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 13. They play host to Apple Valley at Ames Arena at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in another SSC game and will be at home against Eagan on Thursday, Dec. 20

Dec. 14, 2018 SUN THISWEEK LAKEVILLE

Multi-city car chase leads to arrest A St. Paul man was charged with a felony in Dakota County District Court following a multicity vehicle chase Dec. 4 in the south metro.

According to the criminal complaint, the Apple Valley, Eagan and Lakeville police departments were involved in the pursuit of Sharif Abdur-Rahman, 42, during the afternoon of Dec. 4.

Apple Valley police ini-

tially received a report of a theft at a retail store and advised that the suspect fled in a white work van.

Officers activated their emergency lights and sirens when they located the vehicle with the matching license plate, but the vehicle accelerated instead of stopping.

The vehicle eventually drove onto the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic on Pilot Knob

Road through Eagan.

Eagan officers put down stop sticks, but the vehicle avoided them and continued through.

Officers turned off their sirens and lights for safety reasons, but during a break in traffic an officer attempted a Pursuit Intervention Technique, or PIT maneuver, unsuccessfully.

A PIT maneuver is a tactic where a police car forces a fleeing car to turn

sideways, causing the driver to lose control.

The vehicle moved back to the correct side of the road and the officers continued pursuit.

The pursuit traveled through Farmington, where Farmington officers twice deployed stop sticks, but the vehicle was able to avoid those.

A sergeant eventually called off pursuit, but a short time later, Lakeville

officers found the car and successfully stopped the vehicle using a PIT maneuver.

The driver was identified as Abdur-Rahman, who said he had ingested heroin, according to the criminal complaint.
