This fall, school bus fees will end for the vast majority of Lakeville Area School District 194 families. After three years of negotiations, the School Board at its Feb. 14 meeting unanimously approved a new busing contract with Schmitty & Sons that allows the district to eliminate the $150 per-student busing fees charged to families of students bussed within two miles of a school. The fees were unpopular after they were implemented during 2009-2010 budget cuts. Many parents protested the fee by refusing to pay it and instead driving their children to school, flooding schools with vehicles around schools that reportedly created unsafe conditions at rush hour. At some elementary schools, traffic would back up onto city streets, a concern Lakeville City Council members have also raised over the years, many times stating they have received citizen complaints.

Lakeville city officials are proposing a plan to address a significant data drag. After years of computer network system stalls and bottlenecks that occur between the city and its Police Department when squad video footage is transferred between data bases, the city is planing for change. A new fiber optic system is proposed to be built under a joint powers agreement (JPA) with Dakota County to serve 12 city facilities: the Heritage Center, City Hall, municipal liquor stores, Lakeville Area Arts Center, police and fire stations, water treatment facility and Lakeville’s central maintenance building. The network will provide a gigabyte of bandwidth and is expected to be built in two phases,

Lakeville leaders oppose Dan Patch line Bloomington student urges neutrality by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For the second time in as many years, a Bloomington man plans to publicly ask the Lakeville City Council to consider adopting a neutral stance regarding revival of the Dan Patch Rail line. Eric Ecklund, 23, plans to address the council at its March 6 meeting. A University of Minnesota student working toward an urban studies major with emphasis on transportation planning, Ecklund said he believes if Lakeville officials back down from the city’s stated opposition to development of the rail line, their action will help forward ideas for passenger rail on Dan Patch between Minneapolis and Northfield. “If the Lakeville City Council agreed to be more neutral, I

To help keep Lakeville businesses in the city and growing, local leaders are looking at its housing stock. After years of leading the metro with single-family housing starts, Lakeville officials are focusing on building more workforce housing. Construction of a three-story 146-unit apartment building was recently approved to be constructed near the park-and-ride off Cedar Avenue, and city officials are planning to continue working with developers to identify other sites that could become home for higher density housing. That initiative is one of several in the draft Lakeville Economic Development Commission 2017-2020 Strategic Plan Report, released in January. Updated every three years since the 1990s, the plan identifies the city’s highest priorities to encourage economic development: business retention and expansion, maintain a competitive edge, housing to support economic goals and workforce. The draft report identified outcomes that included limiting loss of existing business and making the city a business’ first choice for expansion. A need for baseline data was indicated to help track development, set future targets and measure accomplishments. The plan identified the need for a balance of housing options to meet market demands and suggested a target of creating 250 additional higher density housing units. It also suggested developing housing in areas that stimulate or enhance commercial development and set a target to have two sites developed. Under “workforce,� the outcome stated in the

Lakeville is planning to build two wells this year, potentially saving the city up to $230,000, according to City Public Works Director Chris Petree. He said the savings

could be attained in part by designing wells 21 and 22 together, going through the regulatory process once instead of individually and using the same infrastructure. “When the well-driller is on site mobilizing drilling, when they setup their drill rig, move 50 feet and set it up again and drill it, have the same equipment set up to do all the test

Lakeville man sentenced in connection to family’s disappearance Zachariah Wilson to serve 17 months for theft by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 39-year-old Lakeville man pleaded guilty and was sentenced Feb. 8 to 17 months in prison in Dakota County District Court in connection to a charge stemming from his theft of a vehicle when he disappeared with his girlfriend and their two sons for five days. Zachariah Daniel Wilson was sentenced to theft by temporary control and had a misdemeanor count of child neglect dismissed at sentencing. The misdemeanor charge stemmed from the disappearance, which was reported as a missing persons case, when Wilson’s mother said Wilson and his girlfriend, Angela Dee

Robinson, 34, of Lakeville, along with the two boys — ages 7 and 4 — could not be located after Robinson and Wilson did not return his mother’s car on Oct. 21. The four were located by police five days later when they were found not having bathed or changed clothes since their disappearance. A criminal complaint said they had slept in the car the past five days. They were found after a delivery person outside a grocery store spoke with Wilson and Robinson and became suspicious after Wilson allegedly slapped one of the children. The delivery man driving a semi-truck followed the couple’s car until police could arrive.

Wilson allegedly had made threatening statements to his family in the past. His theft sentence will be served concurrently with a 21-month prison sentence he is serving on his conviction for seconddegree threats of violence (a gross misdemeanor). Robinson pleaded guilty Dec. 22, 2016, to theft by temporary control and was sentenced to 120 days in jail with furlough to treatment, five years of probation and to pay restitution in an amount to be determined. A count of child neglect was dismissed.

Officials: Immigration arrests were routine enforce-ment by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Nine arrests made by immigration officials in Apple Valley and Burnsville last week were part of routine enforcement efforts and not part of a large-scale, nationwide action, according to officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. On Feb. 7, ICE officials made three arrests in Apple Valley and six in Burnsville. According to published reports, unmarked vehicles pulled over work vans in the Cedar Knolls mobile home park in Apple Valley and the Parkway Estates and Summit Park apartment complexes in Burnsville, areas where many Latino families reside. Authorities blocked some entrances to these residential areas and pulled over vehicles at nearby freeway entrances. An ICE spokesman told the Washington Post that the arrests in Apple Valley and Burnsville were for immigration viola-

tions based on ongoing investigations, not random sweeps. The local arrests coincided with immigration authorities making hundreds of arrests of undocumented immigrants in at least six states last week, the first largescale enforcement of President Donald Trump’s order in January to crack down on the estimated 11 million immigrants residing in the United States illegally, the Washington Post reported. Officials said known criminals were targeted in the raids, though the raids also saw arrests of some immigrants who did not have criminal records, the Washington Post report said. In the wake of the arrests in Dakota County, organizers from local Latino advocacy group Mesa Latina and ISAIAH, a coalition of Minnesota faith communities, went to the ICE office at Fort Snelling during office hours, only to find that the office had closed early without notice, the groups reported

Apple Valley man killed in crash

in a joint statement Feb. 8. The groups also reported that their “rapid response team� visited the Apple Valley mobile home park to speak with residents and gather facts, and some helped construction workers drive their vans into the trailer park because police squad cars were still present in the area. “We do not yet know all the identities of those who have been taken, where they are being held, if they will be released or when a release may happen,� the statement from Mesa Latin and ISAIAH said. “We continue to hear from numerous local residents that they did end up taking people who have no criminal records. The actions of ICE have created chaos and fear in our community. The lack of public transparency and accountability is profoundly disturbing.� Contact Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

4A February 17, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

Opinion Lawmakers must approve adequate school funding Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed a vigorous funding budget for education for the next two years. It’s a proposal that deserves serious consideration by state lawmakers. The proposal includes money for additional pre-k scholarships and student support staff, funding of the special education cross subsidy, funding to offset increases in district contributions to the teacher retirement fund, as well as several smaller provisions for targeted projects. The cornerstone of the proposal is an increase in the general education perpupil formula of 2 percent for each year of the biennium, a total of $371 million. These are the dollars needed to maintain the current programs in which students are enrolled. In actual dollars, the proposal would add $121 in per-pupil funding in the first year and an additional $124 in the second year of biennium. The per-pupil funding amount would increase from the current $6,067 to $6,312 in fiscal year 2019. The basic funding formula has to meet three criteria: it has to be adequate, equitable and reliable. Some 855,527 pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students depend on these funds to insure the continuation

ECM Editorial of their programs at comparable levels in future years. Two percent is less than most school districts indicate they need to keep up with increasing costs. The Association of Metropolitan School Districts requested 2.5 percent and the Schools for Equity in Education sought 3 percent for each year of the biennium. Both Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius and Tom Melcher, MDE director of finance, acknowledge that the projected annual inflationary increase in cost is closer to 2.5 percent. The bill has authorship from both sides of the aisle which is a great start. Legislators hearing the presentation of the budget from Commissioner Cassellius raised concerns as to the need for the increase and its value to school programs. Additional questions and concerns about the funding proposal are being asked by lawmakers. According to comments made to the Minnesota House Information Services, Rep. Jenifer Loon, Republican from Eden Prairie, believes “It’s a vigorous

price tag. We have to look at the results for our money.” Rep. Sondra Erickson, Republican from Princeton, said, “I think we may need a different pathway. We have a conundrum on how we look at education.” Concerns about the effectiveness of our public schools system of finance will always be before us and need to be addressed. Comments by Loon and Erickson are appropriate. However, we think they should be made in reference to the total cost of pre-k-12 schools, not to the increase needed to maintain the current system. Without a systemic plan for change and a data-based understanding of current cost, denying the funding increase penalizes students and/or burdens property taxpayers across the state. In past years when the basic perstudent formula has been underfunded school districts cut programs and services, raised class size or appealed to their local taxpayers for a voter-approved operating tax levy. From 2003 to 2014 per-pupil funding was well below inflationary costs. It is only since 2014 that funding levels have approximated inflation. In light of the fact that for varying reasons more and more teachers are leaving education, it is imperative that public schools have the resources they need to

remain competitive and retain quality instructors. In addition the state’s portion of the per-student funding moved from: 6 percent federal, 19 percent property tax, and 75 percent state in 2003 to a projected 5 percent federal, 27 percent property tax and 68 percent state in 2017. It’s clear that more and more of the state-mandated obligations to fund public education have gradually shifted from state and federal sources to local property taxes. Taking care of the per-pupil formula increase should be the first priority of the educational funding package for the biennium. There are many other provisions that deserve careful consideration but the financial foundation of our school programs needs to be a priority. If anything the 2 percent per year allocation is light and should be increased. Educational funding is a complex, many-faceted reality. The complexity comes from the attempt to be adequate, equitable and reliable. Each of these three qualities needs to be addressed and it should start with “adequate.” This is an opinion of the ECM Publishers Editorial Board.

What does Betsy DeVos mean for Minnesota schools? by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although it’s too early to know for sure, the confirmation of the new U.S. secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, probably means several things for Minnesota’s students, families and schools. First, the confirmation process reflected and reminded us of the deep disagreements we have about who our leaders should be. U.S. Sen. Al Franken, DFL-Minnesota, issued a press release describing the just-confirmed DeVos as “fundamentally unqualified to lead the Education Department.” (Franken’s statement is at http://bit.ly/2jZSOqB.) Franken’s questioning of DeVos during confirmation hearings showed she appeared to not understand an important issue in testing: whether accountability systems should stress how much growth students in a school are making as measured by standardized tests, or focus on what percentage of students are reaching or exceeding a specific level of knowledge. While it need not be one or the other, this is a basic issue. I agree with Franken: The secretary of education

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan should understand and be able to comment on this. While Franken and many others questioned whether DeVos is qualified, others defended her. Michael J. Petrilli, president of the (conservative) Thomas B. Fordham Institute and research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, wrote that she will be a “great Education Secretary.” (His opinion can be found at http://fxn.ws/2kQlodb.) The confirmation hearing showed a second thing I think we can expect from DeVos: States will have more discretion about how to work with students than they had during the last two administrations, Democratic and Republican. When responding to questions from senators, DeVos said she wanted to rely on states to determine how to work with

students with a disability. She appeared to not understand federal law that mandates certain procedures and policies about how schools must work with these students and their families. This deeply concerns many advocates for these students. But it is part of the overall DeVos’ philosophy of giving more power to states. Third, DeVos’ record over more than 30 years shows she is a strong advocate of various forms of school choice. This includes both public school choice plans and programs that permit tax funds to follow students, paying their tuition at private and parochial schools. I believe many public school choice plans, including district and charter programs, offer valuable opportunities to students, families and educators. Dual-credit programs also are very helpful. However, I disagree with DeVos’ support for laws that allow tax funds to pay tuition and other fees at private and parochial K-12 schools. I don’t think public funds should be used to encourage promotion of a religion or that public funds should flow to a school that uses admissions tests to determine which students

are accepted to the school. One of the strengths of public education has been that we expect publicly funded schools to be open to all. How will DeVos reconcile greater discretion for states with her belief in school choice? I think she’ll recommend an increasing amount of federal funds be available to support and encourage, but not require, school choice adopted by state legislatures and local communities. It’s not clear whether those funds will be reallocated from existing program or represent additions to federal support for education. The more than 1 million phone and email messages that went to Congress about DeVos show that Americans care deeply about education. I hope she will make a priority of tapping into citizens’ deep interest in and commitment to great schools.

Letters Dan Patch Line

thing can happen.

To the editor: For many years I lived near the Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railroad — the Dan Patch Line — in Burnsville and Lakeville. So I was curious what guest columnist, William Hume, had to say in “Burnsville, railroad should resurrect Dan Patch Line” in the Feb. 10, 2017, issue. The writer has some great ideas, but what he failed to mention is the law passed by our Minnesota Legislature, in all its wisdom, many years ago. That law prohibits the planning or development of the Dan Patch Line as a commuter or light-rail route. That law helped seal the fate of the Dan Patch Line as a giant linear parking lot that so many like to complain about today. I am a rail fan and enjoy the tranquil sight of the railroad cars parked along the line. I would like nothing better than to see the Dan Patch Line in use again, but there are some legislators that need convincing of that before any-

Little shouldn’t weaken local control

proposals, especially those from outside corporate interests. This is an emergency power that is essential to protecting the community. The interim ordinance freezes the status quo and gives the community time to review or create the appropriate zoning ordinances. Senate File 201 requires that an interim ordinance be passed by a two-thirds supermajority. We should not tie the hands of local government that want to protect the community. This is an attempt to make this protection hard to use. It favors corporate interests and works against citizens wanting the city or township to take quick action to protect the community. Our local government is the closest to the people, and therefore best able to respond to the needs of the community. Their powers should not be weakened. Little should not support legislation that weakens the rights of local communities.

To the editor: Minnesotans value strong local democracy and want local governments to have the power to protect their communities from unanticipated and harmful developments. But corporate interests are pushing legislation at the State Capitol that would make it more difficult for townships and cities to respond to unexpected development. I’m disappointed that Sen. Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville, is a co-author of this bill, Senate File 201, that weakens the rights of local governments to enact an interim ordinance. The interim ordinance power gives local governments the ability to quickly enact a moratorium when the community is caught MAIRI DOERR off-guard by unanticipated Cannon Falls and potentially harmful

Lewis is right on changes needed To the editor: In her letter to the editor last week, “Lewis, GOP rolling back the wrong regulations,” Nika Davies, displayed a shocking sense of ignorance or a deliberate departure from the truth. She would have us believe that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, voted to gut the restrictions on the mentally handicapped to purchase guns. The House voted to repeal a narrowly tailored rule from the Obama era. This rule mandated that the names of certain individuals who receive Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income and who use a representative to help manage these benefits due to a mental impairment, be forwarded to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This is a far cry from eliminating background checks of the mentally ill prior to purchasing guns. Davies claims that Lewis and the GOP would endanger Minnesotans’ drinking water by correcting the Stream Protection Rule. According to the office of Surface Mining’s own projections, the proposed rule would eliminate 10,749 coal mining jobs in Appalachia. This rule imposed additional permitting and reporting requirements and restricts various mining activities. It only vaguely defines permit requirements, monitoring, and stream classifications, which it applies to both surface and underground mining. It removes flexibility in how companies reclaim mine sites by requiring refores-

tation even though wildlife organizations are working with the coal industry to provide grassland habitats for a wide range of species. Furthermore, it ignores regional differences and efficient state regulations including Minnesota’s. Davies also objected to eliminating rules requiring oil and gas companies to disclose payments to foreign governments. The present regulations put America’s public companies at a huge disadvantage against foreign competitors such as Russia and China. The economic opportunities of millions of struggling Americans aren’t helped by such political regulations that give foreign companies a huge advantage over American public companies. The SEC’s rule forced publicly-traded American energy companies to disclose proprietary information, giving their foreign competitors access to valuable private information. I hope this explanation will help everyone understand that a glaring headline or some misleading fake news needs further examination. ANNE MEURER Shakopee

Menial work of servants To the editor: Straight from Webster: menial adj/ 1: of or relating to servants. Noun: a domestic servant. According to Judy Finger’s letter to the editor (“Address issue with compassion” Feb. 3) the roofing work that my grandfather, my father and myself have done for the last 80 years or so to feed, clothe and shelter our families

has been “menial.” I don’t know how the United States survived before recent immigrants (many illegal that get paid cash and do not pay taxes) arrived to do all of the “menial” work that she listed. How is this for an immigration policy? If someone wants to live in the United States and become a legal citizen then go through the legal process, learn the English language (and speak it when they are out in public), follow the laws of this country and don’t protest (aka: gather illegally, riot, destroy property, disrupt other citizens lives and businesses, put our police forces lives in jeopardy, cost the taxpayers millions of dollars by their actions) about everything that does not benefit them. These are the actions of many legal citizens also. If they don’t like it here, leave and quit disrupting law abiding citizens’ lives. They will not be missed. Finally, those who are in need of a roofing “servant” please call me. I do all of my own work. No rookies, no subcontractors, no employees. As always, callers do not have to press 1 for English. If callers get my voicemail, I am out doing my menial work. Note: A good read is “The Case Against Immigration” by Roy Beck (required reading for many college classes). A special thanks to all who have protected us in the past and those who currently put their lives on the line for us every day. Stay safe. MICHAEL BJORKSTRAND C & J Roofing Inc. Burnsville

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon a took a tour and visited with advocates at 360 Communities Lewis House officials in Eagan on Monday. He spoke with advocates about the state’s Safe at Home program, which helps survivors of stalking, sexual assault, domestic violence, and others who fear for their safety by establishing a post office box address that public and private entities must accept as their true address. This helps survivors of abuse go about their daily lives with the risk of their abusers discovering their actual addresses. Simon sought feedback from advocates, looking for opportunities to improve the program.

JFK students give back to celebrate 100th day of school First-graders at John F. Kennedy Elementary are helping out the community in big and small ways — one can of soup at a time. Over three weeks, students in Tiffany Wulf ’s class collected canned goods for The Open Door Pantry. On Feb. 13, they presented Tim Koerner, The Open Door Pantry’s mobile food program manager, with 129 cans to help stock the mobile pantry, which serves people in Dakota County. Wulf said this is the eighth year the students have collected soup,

It claims good people.

canned fruits and vegetables and other items in honor of the 100th day of school. “We’re always looking for little service projects we can do, and this was a good thing for the kids to learn about,” Wulf said. “It ties in neatly with our 100th day.” The kids clamored around Koerner and asked questions, from what kinds of foods are available to how the food gets distributed. On any given day, The Open Door Pantry’s three mini buses deliver about 500 pounds of food to people in need,

Koerner said. “We end up feeding about 200 people a day,” Koerner said. One by one, the students weighed their contributions, and when all figures were added up, the class had contributed 120 pounds of food. The announcement drew cheers from the students. Koerner said the pantry was especially grateful for the food the students collected. “Any school that’s willing to partner with us in this way is welcome,” Koerner said.

St. Joseph School plans to host inaugural gala The St. Joseph School Community plans to host its first fundraising gala to benefit its pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade school. The Emerald Gala will be held in the St. Joseph Church Social Hall on Saturday, Feb. 25, when the focus will be on fun, community, and fundraising. “Families at St. Joe’s have

often talked about the success of similar galas at other Catholic schools and we decided the time was right for St. Joseph’s to join them,� said Maria Weber, St. Joseph School parent and gala committee member. The committee is made up of several parent volunteers and led by Principal Kelly Roche. Dinner is being catered by Rudy’s Red Eye Grill, a local staple in Rosemount. There will also be a live jazz band, silent auction items, as well as a few raffle items. Chances to win a one-carat diamond necklace will be sold throughout the evening as well as a fast-paced liquor raffle. “It is sure to be a funfilled evening,� Roche said. The proceeds from the gala will enhance the student educational experience at the school. Chromebooks and tablets are being added to every classroom as well as additions to the Science curriculum. Money will be raised for the St. Joseph School educational assistance fund that assists families who need help fulfilling their tuition requirement. St. Joseph School has been a K-8 school since 1953, and plans to open a preschool in the fall of 2017. More than 1,400 students have graduated becoming leaders throughout the community and elsewhere.

The educational vision of St. Joseph School is to strive for academic excellence through a challenging curriculum. “We prepare our youth to be leaders in their community working for the common good while embracing the rich traditions of the Catholic Church,� Roche said. For more information about St. Joseph School or the 2017 Emerald Gala, contact Roche at 651-423-1658, or visit the website www.stjosephcommunity.org.

Having an impact on young lives Eagan, Lakeville, Farmington women serve as foster grandparents BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Dakota County Juvenile Service Center, Hastings For the last 16 years, Mary Monahan, a resident of Eagan, has served at the Dakota County Juvenile Service Center in Hastings. Three days a week, for three to four hours a day, she works with 13- to 18-year-olds who are incarcerated there. “They all call me grandma,� she said. “I don’t try to teach.

Deb Knutsen has volunteered weekly for the last ďŹ ve years. I’m not a disciplinarian. I’m just there. I sit with them during class and at lunch. Sometimes they want to talk. Mostly, they need someone to listen to them.â€? If someone looks sad, Monahan might ask if they want to talk. Generally, the conversa-

tions are about pets, siblings or school, she said. Sometimes, especially on holidays, Monahan brings cookies or fudge with her to her volunteer post. Monahan, who has five children, 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren of her own,

said she’s always enjoyed volun- enjoy them. They’re pretty sweet teering. “I like people, and I like kids. Things just didn’t go well volunteering.

Adventures for a Lifetime

Grandparents don’t have to be blood relatives to have an impact on the younger generation. The Foster Grandparents program, sponsored by Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, bears that out. The program began in 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty.� Now, an estimated 900 Foster Grandparents serve throughout Minnesota. According to Ron Urbanski, assistant director of Senior Corps and Neighbor to Neighbor programs for LSS, the local foster grandparents range in age from 64 to 86. They serve as role models mentors and friends to the young people they see on a regular basis. It’s a chance for the young people to build a relationship with another adult.

Three generations share a home amicably in Richfield BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER Family is at the center of everything that happens in the Richfield home where Sheri and Doug Nelson have lived for the last 26 years. Throughout their 41-year marriage, the Nelsons, parents of three children and grandparents to four, have maintained close ties with their families of origin, and now, their own progeny. At the moment, three female relatives who are in transition are temporarily boarding at the Nelsons, each moving in with a pet, as well. All three of them work– one also is in college– and each has her own car, so the driveway is full. In addition to the Nelsons and their dog, Taylor, their five-bedroom home is temporarily occupied by daughter Sarah, granddaughter Kayla, and Sheri’s sister Roberta. Each has a pet: Sarah has Sammy the cat, Kayla has a dog named Melody, and Rebecca’s dog is Cocoa. Sheri and Doug are both still working: Sheri is a Twin Cities property manager and Doug is a maintenance technician. “Doug is the best guy in the entire world,” Sheri said. “He is a saint, in my opinion. He’s very helpful. He’s like the calm, and I’m like the storm. He’s always solving things.” The Nelsons have had “people in and out of our house for a long time,” according to Sheri. “My mom and dad lived with us for a year, then my oldest brother and his wife, then my sister and her two kids,” she said. “I’m so glad I got to spend a lot of time with my mom before she died; I was very close with my mom. After she died, my dad lived with us for 10 years.” At one time, two of the Nelsons’ grandchildren lived with them for 18 months. Doug was raised in a family with three other brothers. Coming from a family with four brothers and two sisters, Sheri said, “I was raised with the idea that you just take care of family; that’s what you do.” Her mother ran three restaurants and

Keeping lists is important. Dish cleanup is shared by whoever ate at You make charts. We keep a list on the mealtime.

“During the week, when Doug and I are working, whoever comes home from work first starts dinner,” Sheri said. “We have a binder that contains the menu for that night in front, along with any recipes that are needed.” Sometimes the housemates cook together, she said. Friday nights belong to Doug. “Sheri and I have an agreement that I go out and ride my motorcycle on Friday nights,” he said. The Nelsons are both graduates of Bloomington Kennedy High School. Doug grew up in Bloomington, and Sheri has lived in Minneapolis, Burnsville and Bloomington. Having been active with her father in the construction business, Sheri went from high school to taking business law classes at Normandale Community College, and thought about being an attorney. But she married young and had two children, so she got into the property management business instead. In her 40-year career, she has managed marketrate cooperatives, condominiums, NS cooperative, commercial and warehouse properties. Doug, in the meantime, was a cabinetmaker, and then briefly pursued classes to be an x-ray technician. He says he inherited his dad’s “ability to understand things very easily. When I was a senior in high school, my dad bought a boat kit in a box, a 22-foot cabin cruiser, and put it together. He learned how to do all of it by buying a book. From him, I got the ability to fix things and understand things. I’m always interested in learning new things.” Eventually, Doug worked in Sheri’s family’s construction business, starting as a laborer, then got into brick laying, tuck pointing and heating and air conditioning. Doug sums up his view of the family’s present living arrangement succinctly: “We have to be considerate of other people. Because we’re all family, it’s easy to be respectful and still tease the heck out of each other.”

Foster Grandparent program seeing results FOSTER - FROM PREVIOUS PAGE A native of north Minneapolis, Monahan has lived in Eagan since 1957.

the fifth year Foster Grandparents have been working with students at the school. “Foster Grandparents contacted us in the spring of 2012,” Bertucci said. “Their program coordinator met with our principal and me to see if we would be interested in partnering with them and piloting their program, and the rest is history. Deb and Mary have been with us ever since. “Deb and Mary truly make a difference in the lives of their students. They help their students, not only with their reading, but with their overall confidence. They get to know each student well. They establish great relationships. Their students can tell how much they care.” Farmington Elementary School Principal Kim Bollesen said, “We truly love having our Foster Grandparents in our building. They are such an asset and so good with the kids. LaVonne does a wonderful job with scheduling and helping them with anything they need.”

Mary Hansen is a Foster Grandparent at the same school her own children attended.

Mary Monahan has served at the Dakota County Juvenile Services Center in Hastings for the last 16 years.

Farmington Elementary School Deb Knutson and Mary Hansen each work with a dozen second- and fourth-graders from 9 a.m. to noon five days a week at Farmington Elementary School. Knutsen, now in her fifth year at the school, said she got acquainted with Farmington Elementary when her grandchildren were students there. “I really believe volunteering is important,” said Knutson. “It’s fun. Some kids don’t like reading at all. I really feel good when I see kids improving in reading.” Before she began her work as a school volunteer, Knutsen worked as a Ramsey County probation officer for 35 years. A native of St. Paul, Knutsen has lived in Farmington for 45 years. She has a daughter and three grandchildren. Mary Hansen, also of Farmington, has been a Foster Grandparent at Farmington Elementary for more than four years. “It’s the school our five children went to,” said Hansen, who has lived in Farmington all her life and also has one grandchild. “The teachers give us lots of support. They’re glad we’re there.” When she first heard about the need for Foster Grandparents, Hansen said, “It sounded like something I could do. I’m not new to volunteering. It keeps you young, and I’m really happy to do it.” She’s found that Farmington Elementary “really is a nice place to work. Sometimes I get hugs from the kids when I come into the room, or when they see me in the hall, and sometimes even when they run into me at the grocery store.” LaVonne Bertucci, a Title 1 reading specialist at Farmington Elementary, coordinates the program and also is an internal coach for the school’s Minnesota Reading Corps tutors. Bertucci said this is

About Foster Grandparents

Pat Bromley of Lakeville monitors a fourth-grader’s reading progress.

Akin Road Elementary School, Farmington Pat Bromley of Lakeville has been volunteering four hours a day, four days a week at Akin Road Elementary in Farmington for four years. “I help them with reading,” Bromley said. “The teacher chooses who I read with. Some children are pretty shy; some are friendlier than others.” “I’m really glad I got into Foster Grandparents,” she said. “It’s really been good for me. I intend to keep up with it.” A native of Farmington, Bromley has lived in Lakeville for five years. “This is the second year we have participated in the Foster Grandparent program,” Principal Lisa Reichelt said. “We have been very happy with both the ‘grandparents’ we have had. Just yesterday, a first-grade teacher shared the success shown in

Foster Grandparents must be 55 years of age, and must commit to volunteering for 10 or more hours a week, Urbanski said. A pre-service orientation and training is required, and volunteers also are required to participate in ongoing formal and independent training, he said. Volunteers and their service sites are matched by location in a variety of ways. “Sometimes a school district hears about Foster Grandparents working in another district, or a principal moves to a different school from a district where they had the program and calls us,” Urbanski said. “Sometimes volunteers hear about us and we approach the school.” The school sets the schedule for each volunteer. Staff members from the Senior Corps office meet with each volunteer every month at the site they are serving. Volunteers also are evaluated once a year. A staff of 15 manages the 900 volunteers serving throughout Minnesota, Urbanski said. About 20 percent of the Foster Grandparents are men. Minnesota is one of two states that receives additional support for its Foster Grandparents program. The Minnesota Legislature has for 30 years supported the program through the Minnesota Board on Aging, Urbanski said. Many of the senior volunteers have been with the program for two decades or more, according to Urbanski. “Grandma Gail just retired in Red Wing at the age of 93, after 33 years with the program,” he said. “Talk about a second career!”

At one time, their daughter and granddaughters lived with Allards for 18 months. That required “reconfiguring the bedrooms, and storing our daughter’s possessions,� Pete said. “When our daughter was out of work, we paid expenses here and there and kept them going with the necessities of life.� “Our daughter has always been a single parent,� Jean said. “It’s really a tough row to be a single mom these days; it’s not been easy. We were her babysitters. We are helping her to be able to keep going. It’s been an interesting ride. We don’t take any big, long vacations. You do what you have to do.� The Allard’s oldest granddaughter, 22, graduated with honors from Iowa State College in December and is living with her grandparents until she finds a job. She stayed

Jean and Pete Allard of Chanhassen maintain close ties with their daughter and granddaughters. (Submitted photo) with them during college breaks, as well. “We do a lot for our 17-yearold granddaughter, who is a junior in high school,� Jean said. “We go to all her school conferences and open houses, and we pick her up at school.� When their granddaughters were both in high school and living with the Allards Pete said, “We were their school bus. Jean and I shared the duties. You kind of go with the flow. You do a lot of praying and getting ready to put the keys in the car when someone needs a ride.� Once or twice a week, the Allards have their daughter and granddaughters over for dinner. Every Saturday, Jean and her daughter sit down together to review her finances: “She’s debt-free,� Jean said.

Water aerobics at the Chaska Community Center is something Jean enjoys twice a week. “It keeps my head on straight,� she said. “It’s so important for people with arthritis. It keeps me limber. And I enjoy the fellowship of the other women.� Her religious faith and involvement at church also help to “keep her head on straight,� Jean said. “We are good friends with our daughter. I’ve learned all the things not to say.� Pete agrees. “Our faith means a lot to us, and we lean on that,� he said. “The good Lord takes care of us. He has a plan for our lives, and we do what we can do. I have good peace of mind about this.� Having grown up as an only child, Pete said, “When you

have children, you kind of fly by the seat of your shorts. You get through by the grace of God. And then they grow up and you think, ‘I should have done this, or I should have done that.’ When grandkids come along, you have another opportunity. You see life through different eyes. You give advice when asked.� The Allards are rewarded with expressions of gratitude from their daughter and granddaughters, according to Jean. “They are so grateful and so expressive about it,� she said. “That goes a long way.� “We do have other friends who are helping out with grandkids — maybe not as extensively — but definitely making a difference in their grandkids’ lives,� Jean said.

She cites an article called “Grandparents in the Gapâ€? by Jay Kesler, former president of Taylor University, who spoke at a conference the Allards attended. “While it is spiritual, it certainly addresses what’s happening in our society now and in the past,â€? Jean said. “It was an inspiration to me way back in l999.â€? The Allards at one time were in a Koinonia group of six couples, where they supported each other and shared what was going on in their lives. In her counseling work, Jean led support groups for women, following the 12-step program, “that at the same time helped me in my life.â€? Jean grew up in St. Louis Park, spent one year at Coe College in Iowa and finished with her liberal arts major at Michigan State. She eventually worked at Kerker & Associates advertising agency in the Twin Cities. When she retired in 2004, she was working as a chemical dependency counselor. Pete, a native of Connecticut, attended the University of Maine and the University of Bridgeport. A designer, he worked for Franklin Manufacturing in Minneapolis, Westinghouse in Ohio, Cornelius in Anoka and then went into his own design business, Industrial Design Center, for 35 years. One of their sons is married and lives in Korea. The other, a resident of Chanhassen, has two sons.

More and more, we are becoming a society separated by age. Some call it “Aging Apartheid.�

Current housing trends segregate the generations with mixed results Not so long ago or far away, families were a lot more extended. Multiple generations lived together. Grandma and grandpa were part of the household. Often a few great grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins were also an integral part of the family. All ages accepted each other and mixed and mingled as part of everyday life. It’s different now — and getting “differenter� all the time. Dramatic changes in longevity, life styles, family make-up and economics have led to an explosion of housing options— especially for senior citizens. Today, many seniors choose to “age in place� in the old family home with increasing help and support from technology and outside care-giving service providers. But they can also retire to gated communities. Or live in a variety of independent or assisted living apartments, condos or coops. I even know one senior who live on an actual “Funny Farm.� Increased choices and greater independence for older adults is good. But segregating generations and building walls between age groups is not. More and more, we are becoming a society separated by age. Some call it “Aging Apartheid.� This housing trend supports vital aging and a more active lifestyle for older adults, but it also separates seniors from

Guest column

... by Bob Ramsey children and youth. Unless older folks have grandchildren, they don’t know what today’s “kids� are really like. And younger people don’t know or understand old people. Segregation feeds stereotypes and myths about all ages. Without regular, realworld contact, seniors begin to accept the widespread negative stereotype of teens and younger people as rude, crude, loud, entitled, shallow, even dangerous. Building walls between the generations robs older adults of access to the joy, wonder, energy, optimism, passion and idealism of youth, Likewise, without firsthand knowledge, young people are uncomfortable around seniors and internalize the common perception that age is all about loss, decline, and dependence. They begin to equate age with disease and death; and accept the false notion that older adults cannot be productive, creative, engaged or happy and fun loving. Like the small boy who spotted my wife and me at a local Dairy Queen and yelled at his dad, “There’s some really old people

over there. I didn’t know old people ate treats!� (Yikes! We were busted.) British author George Orwell observed, “The child thinks growing old is an almost obscene calamity. . . all who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing with things of no importance without having anything to live for.� This doesn’t sound like the seniors I know. Without frequent and natural connections with older adults, youth never benefit from the gifts of experience, wisdom, discernment and perspective that come only with age. Likewise, they are denied access to many potential heroes, mentors and role models. Current trends in senior housing appear settled in for a while. Yet the results are mixed. According to Pam Hoyle, chair of the Vital Aging Network, the challenge for age-segregated communities is to figure out: “How do we educate society to not only the joy of growing older, but also the tremendous value of older adults in our community and in our nation?� Community leaders need to create natural opportunities for regular contact and interaction

among age groups. Life is better when all ages can talk to each other, work together, play together, help each other and team up to help others. That’s what makes a true community; not just a bunch of people of differ-

ent ages living segregated lives in the same town. I want a community where it’s natural and normal to see strollers and walkers parked together. What do you want?

Sports Dunne’s goal: Become king of Crashed Ice Burnsville native is 2nd in ice cross downhill standings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Maxwell Dunne became an internet video legend shortly after his introduction to ice cross downhill. It wasn’t necessarily because of something he did well, Dunne notes. In one of his first competitive trips down a sheet of ice filled with bumps and turns, he mistimed a jump and sailed through the air much farther than a rider is supposed to. But he landed on his skates – and without injury – and it wasn’t long before people started admiring the jump online. “You’re supposed to lift your legs (just before a jump, to limit the amount of time spent in the air), and I didn’t,” Dunne recalled. “People couldn’t believe I landed that jump.” In only about two years in the sport, Dunne, a Burnsville native, has become one of its top performers. He’s second in the Red Bull Crashed Ice overall standings after finishing seventh in the recent meet in St. Paul. He trails series leader and defending champion Cameron Naasz (a Lakeville native) with three races remaining, including one Saturday in La Sarre, Quebec. He has yet to win a race but moved up the standings because of consistency. Earlier this season he had three consecutive second-place finishes. That doesn’t mean he races conservatively – Dunne also

Burnsville native Maxwell Dunne is second in Red Bull Crashed Ice overall standings with three events remaining. The only skater ahead of him is Lakeville native Cameron Naasz, the defending Crashed Ice series champion. holds the record for fastest recorded speed, sailing down a track in Munich, Germany, at 82 kilometers an hour, or about 51 mph. Dunne, 27, played hockey and competed in track and field at Burnsville High School. The hockey career helped him develop the skating skills necessary to thrive in ice cross downhill, but the track career helped him develop everything else. He was a two-time Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion in the decathlon, competing for the University of St. Thomas. “You train different muscle groups when you train for the decathlon, and that’s helped me in (ice cross downhill),”

Dunne said last week before leaving for his next meet in Canada. “In decathlon, you’re also out there by yourself without teammates to help, and that’s definitely something that transfers over.” He wanted to try the sport when it was introduced to Minnesota in 2012 but couldn’t because he still was competing in college track and field. About two years ago he jumped in with both skates. He’s one of the sport’s busiest athletes; in 2015-16 he was one of just a few who competed in all 10 Crashed Ice and Riders Cup events. “It’s reached the point where you have to train almost year-round to be successful,” he said, “but I

think the biggest improvement I’ve made is in race strategy – where you can attack the course, where you can pass, what lines to take. Those are things you can learn only by racing.” In addition to being one of Dunne’s rivals on the track, Naasz is one of his closest friends. They’re part of a Minnesota group of riders that train together in the off-season. It helps to be self-reliant during competition, but the group approach helps during training. To Dunne, it makes perfect sense that the top two riders in the Crashed Ice overall standings live within a few miles of each other. “There are a couple other guys in the top 10

Winning their way back to state Three local teams return to Nordic skiing meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview graduated its top four skiers – including the state girls pursuit champion – from its 2016 girls Nordic team, so the last place some might have expected to find the Lightning this week is back at the state meet. “We have a group of girls who all started skiing as seventh- and eighthgraders at Falcon Ridge (Middle School),” said Brian Abery, head coach of the ISD 196 Nordic program that includes the Eastview girls team. “I don’t think I’d say I’m surprised they qualified for state. They’re a good group of girls who want to take the Eastview team forward.” Eastview’s girls, Eagan’s boys and Burnsville’s girls will return to the state team competition Thursday at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. The Eagan boys and Burnsville girls finished first at the Section 1 meet last week in Bloomington; Eastview was second in the girls team competition. Burnsville junior Kelly Koch goes into the state meet at first in the girls individual rankings; she was 11th at the 2016 state meet, won by Margie Freed of Eastview. Patrick Acton of Eagan is third in the boys individual rankings. Senior Ana Brakke and ninth-grader Gabby Kraemer are the only returnees from last year’s Eastview state team, which finished seventh. They finished fourth and sixth in the Section 1 pursuit competition. Acton and Eagan teammate Ryan Steger finished first and second in the Section 1 boys meet. Dylan Schuller and Ryan Conroy also finished in the top 10. All four return from an Eagan team that finished

12th at state last season. Jack Martin and Max Marshall also skied in the Section 1 meet and are returnees from the 2016 state team. Individual qualifiers for the state girls meet include Brianne Brewster of Lakeville South, Harmony Weber-Langer of Lakeville South and Emma Drangstveit of Lakeville North. Boys individual qualifiers include Nathaniel Blichfeldt of Burnsville, Tyler Haroldson of Lakeville South, Bryant Ruff of Eastview and Duncan Ince of Lakeville North. The boys 5-kilometer freestyle race is 10 a.m. Thursday, followed by the girls freestyle at 11:15. Classic races will be in the afternoon with the boys at 2 p.m. and the girls at 3.

Alpine meet Jack Lindsay of Burnsville and Bailey Servais of Lakeville North are among the skiers going after championships at the state Alpine meet Wednesday at Giants Ridge. Both were individual medalists at the Section 6 meet last week at Buck Hill. Servais also helped lead Lakeville North’s team to second place in the section and a state meet berth. Lindsay finished second to Eagan’s Tommy Anderson at the 2016 state meet. Servais was 13th at the state girls meet last year. Other individual state qualifiers from Section 6 were Jake Abbott of Lakeville South, Brandon Wentworth of Lakeville South and Mark Biechler of Rosemount on the boys side, and Lauren Geary of Lakeville South, Renee Boldus of Rosemount and Kate Young of Eastview. First run of the state Alpine meet will be 10 a.m. Wednesday, with the second run at 1 p.m. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

The Open Door in urgent need of volunteers Volunteers are needed immediately at The Open Door to help with both its growing mobile pantry program and its bricksand-mortar food pantry in Eagan. Significant growth in the Mobile Program combined with the postholiday volunteer attrition are leaving the Eagan-

based organization struggling to fill the gaps. “Our mobile food program has more than doubled since last year, and we need additional volunteers to help us meet the demand,� said Jason Viana, executive director. “The growth in demand coupled with the temporary loss of our ‘snowbirds’ is leaving a gap in our program coverage. We urgently need volunteers to help make sure we can continue to reach the nearly 5,000 people we serve each month.� Immediate volunteer posts to fill are mobile pantry drivers, shoppers, and client attendants. Client attendants work face to face with clients to set up food appointments and make reminder calls. The mobile pantry program’s shoppers meet the mobile pantry bus at the distribution site and help clients choose and bag their choices. Drivers take the mobile pantry back and forth to neighborhoods in need and work with the shoppers to serve clients. No special driver’s license is required.

BUS FEES, from 1A School Board Member Terry Lind called the busing change “a major thing for a lot of families,” and said it will increase safety by bringing back safety zones and reducing traffic at school parking lots because fewer parents will drive their children to school. “It’s really the major benefit, I feel,” Lind said. Safety zones are designated areas where busing is provided students whose homes are located within the walking designation due to safety concerns. Those areas will be determined by a committee to be established, according to Michael Baumann, District 194 executive director of business services. The busing contract was expanded to include requirements for all buses to include safety features including back-up signals, two-way radios, Global Positioning System units and at least two video cameras. It will also be extended from

four years to five years, which Baumann said will help the district plan financially. Contract costs are scheduled to decrease one percent in 201718 from $5.4 million to an estimated $5.3 million and increase 1.9 percent annually through 2021-22 to $5.7 million. Providing busing without imposing the fee on families will cost the district an estimated $750,000 to $1 million, but is a less expensive alternative than adding parking lots and drive areas at multiple schools, Baumann said. He added that the district is expecting the Legislature to increase school funding this session for the next two years, which could help cover the costs. The district and bus company also agreed to split costs of any fuel that costs over $3.50 per gallon in the new contract. Previously, the district paid 100 percent of all fuel costs over $2.85 per gallon, according to Baumann. School Board Member Bob

Erickson said the budget anticipated the fee elimination, and thanked Baumann and staff for their efforts. School Board Member Judy Keliher thanked Schmitty & Sons for its partnership with the district and efforts to help solve issues that arise regarding student transportation. “In the end, they’re just like an extension of us,” Keliher said. “They’re a true partner.” Board Chair Michelle Volk agreed, describing the bid as competitive and calling Schmitty & Sons “a company that is a good steward within this community.” School Board Member Jim Skelly said the district has slowly been reversing some of the cuts that started in 2009. “I think there will be hundreds of thankful families out there based on this action,” Skelly said.

eration,” said Ralph Vetter, Lakeville’s information systems manager. He said the city has inadequate bandwidth between sites for its operations and experiences periodic slowdowns, and weekend file backup operations sometimes carry over into Monday or even Tuesday morning. Vetter said there will be some lease costs in the future, but predicted the city will eventually save between $72,000 and $90,000 annually under the new system. He said the county will likely fund maintenance of the system. Council members indicated support for establishing the network and staff was instructed to continue working on the JPA that when complete will be presented to the council for a vote.

beginning this year and concluding in 2018. Lakeville is expecting to pay $648,642 of the project and is seeking ways to reduce its costs by optimizing existing fiber plants, leasing where appropriate and seeking partnerships. Assistant City Administrator Allyn Kuennen said working with Dakota County under a JPA is the city’s best option for funding and maintaining the system. Kuennen said at a Jan. 23 City Council work session it would cost over $1 million for the city to install its own network, and private companies either could not provide the service or were too expensive. The city’s data network is now privately leased. The agreement expires in 2019. “We are facing some criti- Contact Laura Adelmann at cal mass as far as our op- laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville February 17, 2017 17A

PATCH, from 1A from the Dan Patch Line,� Ecklund said in an email to the newspaper. “It also might encourage St. Louis Park to take a second look at their stance on the Dan Patch Line.� Lakeville’s official position opposes any state or federal funding that supports the study, planning, design or engineering of the Dan Patch Corridor, according to the city’s 2017 Legislative Priorities document, unanimously approved by the City Council in January. The document states due to limited funding, priority should be given to expanding existing road and bridge infrastructure and also the bus rapid transit system. Established in 1908 by Marion Willis Savage, owner of the Dan Patch race horse, the rail corridor connects Minneapolis and the southern suburbs and intentionally runs directly through Lakeville because Savage built Antlers Park as a major attraction to draw rail passengers. The rail corridor expanded and at one point included freight traffic, but eventually closed and a portion of the line next to County Road 50 in Lakeville and stretching into residential backyards is used by Progressive Rail as a parking lot for unused freight cars. Neighbors throughout Lakeville have long protested the rail car storage, citing safety and aesthetic concerns in addition to falling property values. The city also has also taken an official position in its Legislative Priorities document seeking federal laws or rules that prohibit railroad car storage in urbanized residential neighborhoods without written consent of the city. State Sen. Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville, called the legislative ban against discussion of opening the Dan Patch line “a bit silly,�

stating legislators should always be able to talk through issues, but said rail on the Dan Patch line does not make economic sense. “We need real investment in highways, bridges and buses right now,� Little said. State Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, said he opposes spending money on trains and the state needs to be using resources on roads and bridges. He said opening the Dan Patch line would be costly, create environmental problems, and noted strong community opposition to the proposal, citing concerns about the commotion and speed passenger service would create through the city. “The vast majority of our community doesn’t want our tax dollars spent on another expensive train,� Koznick said. “To be clear, trains do not relieve congestion and are more expensive to build and operate than bus. People have some romantic idea about trains and the fact is that trains are not great transportation policy for Lakeville. It’s a ridiculous idea and the issues and numbers don’t support a passenger or light rail train here. There are good and practical reasons the Legislature put a prohibition on further state planning in 2002. A bad idea doesn’t get better with age. It might make a good bike or walking trail, the city of Savage is free to explore that option, with their tax dollars.� Ecklund, who said he has been interested in trains for most of his life, remains determined to garner support for the project. He has created a Facebook page, “Support the Dan Patch Rail Line,� that has 161 “likes.� On that social media page, Ecklund’s support of the rail line has spurred some disagreement with Lakeville residents, most who expressed opposition to the idea or commuter

rail through the city, citing issues about costs and the possibility the tracks would be shared with freight carrying hazardous materials. Some of those who have commented are part of another Facebook page, “Move Progressive Rail’s Train out of Lakeville neighborhoods,� which includes a link to a petition to ban residential rail car storage in Lakeville. The petition has generated almost 300 signatures toward their goal of 500 signatures. Multiple signers complained about the visual blight caused by the many graffiti-splattered rail cars and how the cars frequently block road access for lengthy period of times. Tyler Tetrault of Lakeville called the rail cars a “visual nuisance� and wrote they have caused major delays for himself and his teammates when they are moved. Tetrault said there are several blind crossings without appropriate equipment to notify oncoming cars of their imminent move. Ecklund said reviving the Dan Patch line would force rail car storage to end permanently in Lakeville. In a Facebook post, he said the passenger trains would be stored in a facility rather than on the tracks. Lakeville resident Timothy Cleveland posted, “Good. Then store them in Minnetonka, Edina, etc. Lead by example. Lakeville is not a rail yard.� Dennis Shannon posted that opening passenger rail on the Dan Patch line would cause trains to run through some residential back yards, but Ecklund said the passenger trains would be short and quiet. He said expanding roads will do little to alleviate traffic, and with Lakeville’s growing population more options for getting around are needed. Ecklund said while his

primary focus is the Dan Patch line, he would also like to get discussion going about the Dakota Rail Corridor between Minneapolis and Hutchinson, the Minnesota Valley Line between Minneapolis/St. Paul and Mankato, and the Red Rock Corridor between St. Paul and Hastings. “I’m trying to get the word out, get more supporters, and bring some discussion to the local, regional, and state levels of government on this topic,� Ecklund said. Lakeville officials are unlikely to lend support to Ecklund’s cause. Mayor Doug Anderson said he supports the city’s legislative position opposing any use of the Dan Patch line for commuter rail. “I think it comes down to where’s the best place to put funds associated with transportation,� Anderson said. “And we’ve got higher priority issues in Lakeville associated with transportation than spending money on a commuter rail line.� He said higher priorities are County Road 70 and the County Road 50 bridge at Interstate 35. “These are much more important to us from a community standpoint as well as an economic standpoint,� Anderson said. He added the rail line is in “really bad shape� and would need a lot of repairs to operate again. Anderson also cited concerns regarding the rail car parking in Lakeville, but said Progressive Rail is a good business that has painted over the graffiti at times and is doing good work to support Airlake Industrial Park. “We’ve got to find a point of understanding in terms of the rail cars,� Anderson said. “There’s safety issues, and the graffiti is annoying.� Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

FUTURE, from 1A plan was for businesses to offer more quality jobs and identified a target of 200 more jobs paying over $60,000 per year. City Council Member Luke Hellier said there is a workforce gap, and expressed interest in the plan’s goal for pursuing possible partnerships or collaborations with the Chamber of Commerce, school districts and higher education providers. He encouraged the city to work with schools to educate students about the career opportunities that do not require a college education. “Whatever you can do to educate the schools that you can stay in Lakeville and have a really good job with a two-year degree from DCTC (Dakota County Technical College) is important,� Hellier said. Community and Economic Development Director Dave Olson said the job climate has changed from several years ago, and now companies are struggling to fill jobs. Olson said the city will review its 2012 City Business Marketing Plan to help attract new businesses, but noted city staff is limited in time and budget to focus on marketing because they are busy with new development underway. He said several Economic Development Commission members have volunteered to help in that area, using their expertise and contracts to help attract new businesses. Council members have in the past expressed a desire for the EDC members to have a more significant role in city initiatives, and Council Member Colleen LaBeau encouraged the members’ involvement. The planning document identified threats and strengths regarding economic development. Threats included high taxes, regulations and increasing land and development costs. Strengths identified include Lakeville’s affluent community, quality education and strong area infrastructure that includes access to rail, highways and the airport.

SAVINGS, from 1A two different aquifers at different levels and be located near Highview Avenue and Dodd Boulevard. “It just provides huge efficiencies for us,� Petree said. “Plus, it provides us much-needed additional water production.� Petree called the opportunity “truly unique.� Digging the wells was initially estimated to cost a total of $1.7 million. Lakeville recently spent $4 million to upgrade its water treatment facility to increase its capacity from 20 million gallons to 26 million gallons, which Petree said bought the city an extra 10 years before a complete upgrade of the facility would be needed. He said the water treatment facility will likely need to be expanded around 2025. Lakeville City Council members reviewed the plans in a January work session. “It certainly makes sense to me,� said Mayor Doug Anderson. “Good job.� Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. com.

Thisweekend Music and dance from the Emerald Isle ‘Celtic Fire’ comes to Ames Center stage by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Michael Londra is bringing the songs, stories and dances of his native Ireland to American stages with “Celtic Fire,� which plays at the Ames Center in Burnsville on Tuesday, March 14. “I’m from Wexford in the southeast of Ireland, so I try to paint a picture of home during St. Patrick’s season,� said Londra, a tenor who served as lead vocalist in “Riverdance on Broadway.� “We do it a little differently at home — no green beer — and I will for sure get people singing, they might shed a tear, and they will also leave having learned some Gaelic.� Fans of “Riverdance�

and “Lord of the Dance� will likely find plenty to enjoy in “Celtic Fire,� which Londra described as a stripped-down version of those productions. “Being the lead singer of ‘Riverdance on Broadway’ was an honor and, in many ways, launched my career as a solo artist,� he said. “When I started touring myself, I wanted to take Irish music and dance and strip it to its bare essentials. “In our show, we try to give you a picture of Ireland without the bombast of the bigger shows. It involves the best of Irish musicians, dancers and myself giving you honest raw talent.� “Celtic Fire� has a cast of 13 musicians and dancers, many of whom previously performed in Photo submitted “Riverdance� and “Lord Irish tenor Michael Londra presents “Celtic Fire� March of the Dance.� All of 14 at the Ames Center. The show features 13 musicians Ireland’s national inand dancers, many of whom are drawn from the casts of struments are employed in the production, some “Riverdance� and “Lord of the Dance.�

more familiar to American audiences than others. “My favorite Irish instrument is the uilleann — pronounced ‘illin’ — pipes,� Londra said. “They are the plaintive pipes you hear in the movies. They are softer on the ear than bagpipes. We also have the low whistles, which are just beautiful for slow airs. Of course we have the fiddle and penny whistle, too.� In addition to the Ames Center per-

formance, Londra is bringing “Celtic Fire� to an array of venues throughout the country in March, with stops in Iowa, Michigan, Indiana and Texas. Tickets for the Burnsville show are $30-$40 and are available at the Ames Center box office, at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-982-2787.

Taking to the stage with the Second Act Players Theater group for those 50 and older offers workshops by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Second Act Players senior theater group returns this year with classes and performance opportunities for those 50 and older. The theater organization, part of the Rosemount Area Arts Council, debuted last year with five short play productions as well as the premiere of a two-hour play penned by a Dakota County writer. The group held classes in set construction, costuming, play production and other aspects of stagecraft in its inaugural year, and also took five “road tripsâ€? to attend plays at theater venues throughout the Twin Cities area. The first year saw membership hit about 30 people, and “we are always looking for new members,â€? said John Loch, RAAC board member and one of the organizers of the Second Act Players. “As far as highlights of our first year — and there were many — I think the best is the number of passionate, enthusiastic seniors that joined,â€? Loch said. “It really was fulfilling to see seniors who never had acted before progress during the year.â€? This year, the group has scheduled public performances that include an audience-participation mystery theater event in April, a melodrama during the ArtBlast festival in June, and another premiere of a full-length play by local playwright Denis LaComb in August. Those interested in taking part in the Second Act Players have a number of class offerings to choose from in the coming months. All classes are held at the Steeple Center in Rosemount. Among the offerings: • Introduction to Directing, 2-4 p.m. March 15. • Stage Management,

3-5 p.m. April 11 and 13. • Shakespeare, 3-5 p.m. April 18 and 20. • Improvisation workshop, 4-6 p.m. May 8, 11 and 15. • Play Pre-production, 3-6 p.m. May 31. Cost for the classes ranges from $10-$25 for members of Second Act Players and $20-$40 for nonmembers. Membership is open to adults 50 and older, though the classes are open to adults of all ages. To sign up for a class Photo submitted or for more information, contact John Loch at jj- Jim Berg of Twin Cities Magic & Costume applies loch@charter.net or 952- zombie makeup to Jean Crewson during the Second Act Players’ “Theatrical Makeupâ€? course last spring. 255-8545.
