Lakeville City Council members on Feb. 21 unanimously approved a longdiscussed plan to provide road access for businesses affected by this summer’s planned County Road 50 reconstruction. The plan establishes the Kenwood Trail Business Park on about 6.5 acres of land previously occupied by residences and businesses located east of Ipava Avenue, west of Icenic Trail on the north side of County Road 50 (Kenwood Trail) and includes development of two new office buildings. Lakeville Community and Economic Development Director Dave Olson said McDonald Eye Care is planning to construct one of the buildings, an 8,000-square-foot office space, to relocate its business. The building will be a significant increase from its current location in a remodeled residential home that designates approximately 3,276 square feet for the business. Olson said Lakeville plans to pave a parking lot to the west of the McDonald building and market the property for develop-

Prior to widening County Road 50, the city and county will construct a new public road, Icenic Way, behind the businesses to allow continued and permanent access during and after the County Road 50 reconstruction project. There was no public comment regarding the project at the City Council meeting, but two Lakeville residents living behind the proposed the new road expressed concern at the Feb. 2 Planning Commission meeting about plans to remove trees between the properties to accommodate the construction.

Lewis working to replace ACA

2nd District representative commits to holding in-person town hall by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Washington, D.C., politics has dominated the news cycle in the past month as President Donald Trump entered office with Republican control of the Senate and House. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, says he would be doing things differently than Trump, who has created international reactions to his executive orders with regard to border security and deporta-

tion of illegal immigrants. Lewis, who spoke with the newspaper on Tuesday, hasn’t dove into those topics with the House in the past month as he’s been focused on efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “We have a job to do,� he said during a telephone interview. “I would be derelict in my duty if I didn’t fulfill my promise that I ran on for a better health care plan for the people of Minnesota.� The new 2nd District representative acknowledges there are constituents concerned about the potential repeal of the law that created governmentsponsored health care plans in the individual market. A group of about 100 people gathered outside Lewis’ Burnsville office this month, many concerned about repeal of the ACA and Trump’s executive orders along with advocating for a face-to-face town-hall-style meeting with Lewis. Lewis, who says he’s committed to holding a town hall, said there’s been misinformation regarding Republican plans for repeal of the ACA and some people are trying to get a jump-start on the 2018 campaign. He said there is no plan to do away with two popular provisions of the ACA — insurance companies can’t deny coverage to a person with pre-existing health conditions and children continuing on their parents health insurance until age 26. Lewis said four replacement bills have been heard by the Energy and Commerce Committee, some with features Lewis supports, such as tax credits for those purchasing insurance through a health savings account. He said the tax credits would in-

crease based on age, since people typically need more health care as they age. The ACA has led to premiums increasing so fast that people are getting priced out of the market, especially young people who are healthy, according to Lewis. He said during a TPT Almanac interview that young people are opting to pay the ACA fine for not having insurance rather than obtaining coverage. “The only people who are left are people ‌ my age who are a little sicker,â€? Lewis said. Another reason that health insurance premiums are increasing is because there are 1,000 counties in the United States — about one-third of the country — that have no competition as only one insurance company is offering ACA-based coverage. In Minnesota, Gov. Mark Dayton made $310 million available last month to people who receive coverage through the individual market as an effort to buy down premium costs. Lewis said an ACA replacement bill should make health insurance affordable and portable when a person moves from one job to another or to another state. He said Health and Human Services Commissioner Tom Price has indicated he would remove some of the more onerous aspects of the ACA, such as requiring all people to carry pediatric coverage even if they don’t have children. With regard to Trump’s ban on travel to America from seven predominately Muslim countries, Lewis said he would not have addressed the issue in the way the president did, as it negatively affected Green Card holders and people

who helped the U.S. on the battlefield. Lewis said the U.S. should prevent people from leaving Minneapolis and St. Paul, being radicalized by violent extremist groups and returning to America. He noted that President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, had the support of the American people when he banned Iranians from entering America during the hostage crisis. With regard to the recent increased efforts to deport illegal immigrants, Lewis said he supports deporting those with criminal backgrounds. When asked if he supported a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in American, Lewis said there will be a number of things to consider once the border is secure. As for calls for Lewis to hold a town-hall-style meeting in the 2nd District, he said he hopes to have one. “We will figure out a way to do it,� he said — a promise he also made in a Tuesday letter to the Star Tribune. In the interview, Lewis said that 1st District U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, D-Mankato, hadn’t held a town hall in six years until last week. It’s a rarity that a new member of Congress with a new administration in charge would have held a town hall in a month or so from taking office, according to Lewis. “We know it is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the people who worked for Hillary Clinton and my opponent,� he said of the clamor for a town hall. Lewis said he wants a town hall to be productive and constructive. He said his schedule has been crazy, as it’s been See ACA, 8A

Feds begin slow landfill process 182 parties potentially liable for cleanup by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After last year’s collapse of a deal to finally clean up the old Freeway Landfill in Burnsville, the federal government has begun the process of trying to collect cleanup costs from landfill customers. Letters to 182 “potentially responsible parties� were sent this month. Under the federal Superfund law, the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking joint payment from among a group that includes trash haulers, other businesses large and small and local governments. The city of Burnsville and Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 are among the parties. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency was hoping to avoid a prolonged Superfund action with a $64.4 million cleanup plan to be funded not by landfill customers, but by the state’s voluntary Closed Landfill Program. After years of inaction followed by renewed negotiations to bring the landfill into the program, landfill trustee Michael McGowan rejected the cleanup plan last July. He said it removed too much prime development acreage from the site, located west of Interstate 35W on the Minnesota River, and threatened continued operation of his Freeway Transfer Station on the property. The MPCA then declared the deal dead and threw the matter to the EPA, which had been pressuring the state and McGowan to reach a deal on a landfill that has been in McGowan’s family since the mid1960s and collected trash from 1969 to 1990. The 150-acre landfill site has been on the EPA’s National Priorities List for cleanup since 1986. Negotiations between the state and McGowan continued even after the EPA issued a Dec. 15, 2015, deadline for reaching a deal. Under Superfund, “It will take several years to do the (environmental) investigation, to develop the cleanup alternatives,� said Leslie Patterson, regional project manager in the EPA’s Region 5 Superfund Division. “At which point the EPA will propose and issue a decision regarding a cleanup option.� McGowan, who claims the MPCA treated the family business unfairly for decades, continues to insist the landfill needs no environmental remedy. “There is no factual or empirical informa-

tion that demonstrates that Freeway Landfill is violating any applicable state of Minnesota groundwater or surface water or methane standards,� McGowan said. The landfill is causing groundwater contamination, which is of particular concern because of its proximity to the river and some city wells, Patterson said. Regulators’ biggest concern is the eventual cessation of dewatering at the Kraemer Mining and Materials quarry south of the landfill. Dewatering will end when mining ends, which city officials say could be 20 years from now. At that point, the water table will rise to the level of the landfill, leaving some of the waste sitting in groundwater that will be exposed to contaminants such as heavy metals, medical waste, volatile organic compounds and cobalt, according to the MPCA. The pumping creates a “cone of influence that pulls the water toward it,� Patterson said. “The issue would become much more critical if the quarry were to stop pumping.� Until the EPA does its own investigation, Patterson said she doesn’t know the agency’s remedy or its cost. The MPCA had proposed digging up waste in the unlined landfill and moving it to the west side of the property atop a liner to separate contaminants from groundwater. Superfund liabilities are “joint and several,� Patterson said. “That means that unless a potentially responsible party can provide information that specifically documents that they didn’t contribute to the contamination that EPA is trying to clean up, then everybody who is potentially responsible is kind of responsible for all the contamination,� she said. That includes trash haulers who chose the Freeway Landfill as well as their customers who made that choice, she said. The EPA encourages the parties to form a committee to work out their response, Patterson said. “Our role at this point is really to encourage them to start talking with each other,� she said. “We work with the PRPs that come to the table and agree to work with us. But a lot of it is the PRPs forming that committee and working out how they are going to coordinate amongst themselves.� As long as cleanup costs are covered, “We’re

OK with all of them signing up, we’re OK with some of them signing up, we’re OK with one of them signing up,� added Joan Tanaka, remedial response Branch 1 chief in the Region 5 Superfund Division. Often, the parties “figure out a way to compel each other� to pay their share, she said. The agency’s last recourse is to use its authority to recover costs from responsible parties, according to Tanaka. She acknowledged that some parties may no longer be in business or have little ability to pay. Under the agency’s “ability-to-pay policy,� those who demonstrate hardship can resolve their liabilities “pretty cheaply,� Tanaka said. “They might write us a small check. We’re not in the business to bankrupt people.� McGowan, whose Freeway Transfer is one of the potentially responsible parties, predicted their ranks will “grow exponentially.� “It is most unfortunate that the city, the county and the state have chosen to pursue this path involving numerous municipalities, numerous school districts and many businesses in the metropolitan area,� he said. McGowan disagrees with the post-dewatering water levels predicted by the MPCA, saying that groundwater would need to “run uphill 10 to 12 feet� to reach the garbage in the landfill. He accuses the MPCA of fabricating test results for chemicals such as mercury after it drilled new monitoring wells at the landfill in the summer of 2015. McGowan also charges that the unlined Burnsville Sanitary Landfill west of I-35W, which is still operating, doesn’t get the same scrutiny as the Freeway Landfill even through it has nearly as large a footprint and has accepted the same kinds of waste. The EPA is also seeking information on the old Freeway “dump site� — McGowan property on the other side of I35W where garbage was also dumped.

Day care provider sentenced in baby’s death by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

asleep, she left him unattended until 12:40 p.m. when she checked and found him limp and unresponsive, at which point she attempted resuscitation and called 911. Kartheiser told police she knew the infant should not have been left lying face down in the crib, according to the complaint. Additionally, before officers arrived Kartheiser hid the infant’s swaddle blanket, receiving blanket and quilt behind a garbage can in the furnace room because she knew she did not have the required paperwork to use those items in the infant’s sleeping environment, the complaint said. Lucas had been attending Kartheiser’s day care three times a week for about three weeks. Two other charges against Kartheiser — manslaughter and interference with the body or scene of death — were dismissed. In addition to one day of jail and five years of probation, Kartheiser was ordered to complete 2,400 hours of community service. Kartheiser is the mother of professional actor Vincent Kartheiser, who played the character Pete Campbell in the popular TV series “Mad Men.�

A former Apple Valley day care provider has been sentenced to one day in jail and five years of probation in connection with the death of a baby in her care. Janet M. Kartheiser, 65, was convicted in district court last week of felony child neglect. Charges were brought against Kartheiser following the July 2014 death of 3-1/2-monthold Lucas Scott Foster. Police and paramedics were dispatched to Kartheiser’s home on July 29, 2014, following a 911 call about an unresponsive infant — Lucas — at the licensed day care service. Lucas regained a pulse after resuscitation efforts and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, but he died two days later on July 31. An autopsy performed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the infant’s cause of death as being accidental as a result of “positional asphyxia.� According to the criminal complaint, on the day of the incident, Kartheiser placed the infant on his side in a crib, swaddled in a blanket, at about 12:15 p.m. Kartheiser reported that several minutes later she saw the infant rolled over onto his Contact Andrew Miller at stomach inside the crib; andrew.miller@ecm-inc. thinking he had fallen com.

Burnsville will appeal Rambush ruling by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville will appeal a Feb. 8 ruling against the city over property inspections and enforcement at Rambush Estates Manufactured Home Park. The City Council reached consensus to appeal the ruling in a closed session Tuesday with City Attorney Joel Jamnik, according to City Manager Heather Johnston. Dakota County District Judge Colleen G. King ruled that the city exceeded its authority in 2015 by inspecting the park and ordering corrective actions — primarily for “nonconforming� carports and attached awnings, outdoor storage and trash containers left in view. The ruling came in a class action lawsuit filed by Rambush Estate homeowner Kathryn Eich, who was told her carport and a trash container and wheelbarrow on her rented lot violated city code. Rambush Estates was inspected as part of a threeyear program to inspect all Burnsville properties for code violations. The city has replaced its traditional complaint-driven approach to property-code inspections with a “proactive� approach. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Bodies identified in Rosemount deaths Authorities have released the identities of the individuals found deceased on Feb. 17 in Rosemount.

Justin Joseph Keilen, 42, was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, and his death was ruled a suicide. Rosemount Police and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating.

Opinion Listening, lemurs, and Lebanon Hills Regional Park by Joe Atkins SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When my son Tom was in third grade, he brought home a two-question test he had taken at school. On the first question, he wrote the correct answer. On the second question, the test asked “How did you know the answer to Question 1?” Tom wrote, “I knew it because I listened.” While marked as incorrect, the teacher wrote that she really liked Tom’s answer. I spent a lot of time listening this past month, mostly to local folks. I know listening may seem like an odd thing for a politician to do. Most politicians these days seem to prefer talking. However, I find that I learn a lot more if I listen rather than spend all my time talking. From discussions about safety improvements planned for our local roads to cost-effective ways to enhance county services and offerings, I genuinely appreciated the chance to hear the thoughts, concerns and ideas of over 150 local residents this past month. Below are a few highlights. Addition to Lebanon Hills Regional Park being considered. The Jewish Community Center owns Camp Butwin, an 84-acre parcel that lies entirely within Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Discus-

Guest Columnist

Joe Atkins sions are underway between the county and JCC to possibly add this property to the park, rather than seeing it sold for development. Lemurs and Lizards in Lebanon Hills? The new director at the Minnesota Zoo, John Frawley, met with the County Board on Feb. 10 as part of the County Board’s ongoing outreach to Dakota County employers and businesses. We heard about employment at the zoo, its business plan for the future, and its $146 million economic impact. Frawley is looking for more ways to showcase what the Minnesota Zoo has to offer, including working more closely with Dakota County. Among other ideas, he is considering the possibility of bringing zoo animals to Dakota County parks, providing county residents with a free opportunity to see some of the zoo’s most engaging animals. McAndrews Road Improvements. The county is looking at making McAn-

drews Road safer and smoother by expanding the road to three lanes, with center left turn lanes, between Highway 3 and Pilot Knob Road. I attended the open house at Rosemount City Hall and was impressed with the turnout and thoughtful input. Construction is planned for the summer of 2018, but there is still time to weigh in. Contact me, and I will make sure comments reach the right people. Eagan’s Super Bowl of Food Drives. Thank you to the hundreds of people who volunteered, organized or donated at the Open Door Pantry food drive on Super Bowl weekend. I was just one of 200-plus volunteers who collected donations for the Open Door Pantry food shelf at three Cub Foods in Eagan. It was an amazing event, with all the donations going to help local families. Additionally, I find that the grocery store is a great place to hear from folks about local issues or concerns. This is probably why my wife, Julia, usually avoids going to the grocery store with me. The Ghost of Wm. LeDuc. General William LeDuc, who in 1862 built his historic Hastings home, pursued many grand plans. Unfortunately, LeDuc was not very effective at executing these plans and suffered several setbacks. LeDuc’s two daughters, though lesser

known than their father, were actually far more successful, mainly because they efficiently executed a straightforward business plan to sell locally-made products. The key to their success was to listen closely and respond to customer demand while keeping their product prices reasonable and production costs modest. In this spirit, as the County Board engages in planning efforts for the rest of 2017, 2018 and beyond, I invite input on what readers think Dakota County should do, not do, do more, do less, or do better. No topic or issue is too large (or small). I can be reached at Joe.Atkins@co.dakota.mn.us or (651) 438-4430. I also do surveys on specific topics and issues as part of e-updates I send twice each month. To receive these e-updates and surveys, please email me. Interestingly, as I toured the LeDuc house recently, the guide explained that some folks say they have heard the ghost of General LeDuc haunting the halls of the historic home. However, in spite of all my listening this month, it was one of the few times I didn’t hear a thing. Joe Atkins is a Dakota County commissioner serving District 4, which includes Eagan and Rosemount.

Letters Open process for housing moratoriums To the editor: In an early test that balances legitimate property owner interests with the need for cities to manage growth, Sen. Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville, is leading the discussion toward a balanced solution. Residents owning property in a city with the hopes of building their dream homes need a reliable timeline and certainty; while cities need an open process that addresses resident needs. Little is a co-author of Senate File 201, which protects a city’s right to issue a moratorium, and also provides basic fairness and public notification and due process before such a moratorium is enacted. Unfortunately, today’s reality is quite different. Imagine learning, without any notice or opportunity to understand and contribute to the public discussion, that a city imposed a housing moratorium, which has frozen the ability to move into a home. What Senate File 201 creates is an open forum and minimal timeline for discussion of this action, while still giving cities the ultimate authority. After a city allows impacted property owners to consider the action and be heard, the city may impose the moratorium. We expect government to provide timely information when it embarks on a course that will directly impact its residents. If a local government is considering something as powerful and consequential as a moratorium on housing, where not just an individual home, but all housing projects in a city, are frozen for up to a year, proper notice and the opportunity for discussion seem like basic and reasonable expectations. I thank Senator Little for

Speak boldly against oppression

his thoughtful and balanced approach to this issue. TIM FOHR Lakeville

Lewis and health insurance To the editor: Since U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, has not appeared at a public town hall, I ask him to respond to these questions in a published article. Do you favor repeal of ACA without a simultaneous replacement plan? What parts of ACA do you propose to retain? Coverage or pre-existing conditions? Coverage for children up to 26 on parents’ policies? Elimination of lifetime caps? Do you support requiring minimum coverages for all people, like auto insurance requires? What required coverages under ACA would you eliminate? Or do you merely support access to coverage for all people? Do support GOP plan to offer tax credits based on age? How will that help young people with high medical expenses? Would credits be available to only those in the individual market? How does this help people who don’t file tax returns? Do you still support making insurance available across state lines? How would Minnesota regulate a health insurance company offering coverage from California? Would you repeal McCarran Ferguson? You support portability of insurance plans for those leaving an employer. Would such individuals then go into the individual market at higher rates? Would you require combining insurance pools so individuals can be rated the same as those receiving coverage by employers? Would you permit

Medicare to negotiate drugs prices with pharmaceutical companies? Do you support block grants to states for Medicaid? Do you agree that under the GOP proposal, Medicaid costs incurred by states would rise substantially? RON GOLDSER Eagan

Meeting each other half way To the editor: Many of Rep. Jason Lewis’ constituents feel as though he is avoiding them, and based on my experience so far, I would have to agree. I think part of the disconnect is on us, though. Progressives need to demonstrate that we want open, honest and respectful discourse. If we use combative rhetoric or refer to him as the enemy, we put him on the defense from the start. We need to meet each other half way if we’re going to do anything constructive. I wrote him earlier this week about my concerns that party politics is overshadowing accountability and standing up for what is right. It was my first letter

to him, so I took the opportunity to join his mailing list. I then received a phone call two nights ago from his office during dinner. I did not recognize the number, although I did see that it was from a Washington, D.C., area code, so I didn’t answer. I understood from the voicemail that I had been invited to a tele-town hall meeting. I’d had no prior notice of the meeting or the impending call and was disappointed that because I didn’t answer during dinner that I wasn’t able to participate. I told Lewis that we were getting off on the wrong foot. I know that many constituents are angry. They need to tone down their rhetoric and be willing to listen. They need to give Lewis a chance to do his job. But they have real concerns that need to be addressed, and so far, they aren’t feeling like Lewis is doing the job of representing them. This may be a simple miscommunication. After all, Lewis has just started his job. But people are only going to get angrier if they feel he is avoiding them. I encourage Lewis to reach out to his constituents. He may find that he’ll have more supporters if he engages us and is willing to treat more liberal-leaning constituents like constituents. I thank him for listening and serving. JO HAUGEN Eagan

Irreversible damage To the editor: The Environmental Protection Agency has been muzzled and, it seems, it will be made toothless by its new head Scott Pruitt. We know where we were before the EPA was created. There’s no reason to believe that corporations will be less destructive now than they were in the 1960s. Ultimately, corporations are measured solely on profit, and when they lose site of that, there’s always another corporation that will undercut them and take away their business. So we must have the EPA. Think of what it would be like to have a professional sports league without referees or umpires. That’s what it will be like without an environmental protection system that enforces rules protecting our health and our great shared environment that supports all life, now, and for our children’s children. Some kinds of environmental destruction are effectively permanent. For example, PCBs in the sediments of rivers will be there a long time, and they have recently been found in the deepest trenches of the ocean. There’s no Planet B. A few people may profit, but we all pay the price. BILL MIDDLECAMP Apple Valley

To the editor: In response to Keith Anderson’s column, “Does a political party define you?” (Feb. 3), I want to state that while I agree with some of the sentiments expressed in the column, I view the column as telling an incomplete story. The column does not acknowledge the level of oppression being attempted at national, state and local levels; which is the actual conflict point between citizens. The column also does not acknowledge the need and the right to speak boldly and firmly against such oppression. I agree that it is not constructive to ridicule or condemn a fellow citizen, but this input needs to be shared with those in power because they consistently take such action. The column also does not acknowledge the obstacles created by politics and the power it has over the systems and institutions in our society which impacts individual citizens. My empathy as an individual does not change the racism the persons of certain skin colors face driving down the road, especially when leaders deny the existence and/or effects of racism. My compassion regarding the bullying many children face at school does not change what they experience, especially when the most powerful leaders role model bullying. I do live my daily life with empathy and compassion while advocating for change; but my efforts are limited when those in power as well as my fellow citizens dismiss my voice, block my voice, or deny my voice. And not every individual can forge their true value, as the column states, when oppression exists. Nor can an individual fully do so in a society structured to primarily benefit 1-2 percent of its citizens. When oppression exists, the rights in a democracy are then only a privilege for some, and not an inherent right for all. SANDI SIMONSON Lakeville

MHC Software hosts #JoasStrong blood drive MHC Software is holding a community blood drive 1-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, in honor of employee Bryan Joas at its Burnsville headquarters, 12000 Portland Ave. On March 8, 2016, while riding his bicycle home from work, Joas was involved in a hit-and-run accident that left him with life-threatening injuries. He required 12 surgeries during his 88-day hospital stay where received at least 35 units of blood and 11 units of platelets to help save his life. To help build awareness of the constant need for blood, MHC Software is holding a blood drive in his honor on the anniversary of his accident. “Many people don’t understand the importance of having blood on the shelves, especially when the unexpected happens,� said Joas. “You just never know when you or a loved one will be the one in need. Without lifesaving blood, my condition might be very different. I’m liv-

ing proof that blood helps save lives, and I urge anyone who is able to donate to take an hour of their day and give the gift of life.� Joas is back to working full-time and is looking forward to riding his bicycle again this spring and summer. He currently is unable to donate blood, but hopes that he will be able to in the future to help pay it forward. “I’m just a cheerleader right now, but I hope to be able to donate in the future,� he said. Donors of all blood types are currently needed. To make an appointment to donate, use the Red Cross Blood Donor app and use sponsor code JoasStrongBV, visit redcrossblood.org or call 800733-2767.

Caponi Art Park celebrating 25 years Party, reflective exhibition in the works for 2017 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the pioneering forces brining art to everyday life in Eagan is now a quarter century old. This year Caponi Art Park is celebrating 25 years as a nonprofit. Executive director Cheryl Caponi, co-founder of Caponi Art Park with her husband Anthony, said the park has been a unique source of inspiration and creativity in Minnesota for decades. Although Anthony Caponi died in 2015, his legacy lives on in the 60-acre green space off Diffley Road in Eagan. “Most of our time during the last 25 years was making sure the land the park is on would stay open space,� Cheryl Caponi said. “We started at a time when Eagan was the fastest growing city in the state. We were swimming the opposite direction of the city. We said we don’t want to sell our land. We want to leave it as an open space in the future.� Wayne Potratz, a retired University of Minnesota professor and former Anthony Caponi student, is now the park’s board chair who has been inspired by the park throughout his career. “It’s a kind of a place where art and nature are seen in context with each other,� Potratz said. “Caponi was a real role model for me. He was a worker. He essentially worked the land. He placed his work in the context of nature. The whole place is like one big sculpture.� The sculpture garden is its signature feature, and the park is home to several tours, field trips, educational opportunities and

There’s a summer performance series every Sunday, artist-led explorations on Tuesdays, a medieval fair in September and annual Halloween at the Park in October among many other special events. “There’s a real community component to it,� Potratz said. “It’s a public place. There’s education for children. You can experience various types of music and theater performances.� Organizers still are still in the planning process for other ways to honor the anniversary including a birthday party. A new beer and bluegrass event is in the works as well. This year they’re also opening up a newly created outdoor classroom on the southern portion of the property. It was paid for after a successful crowdfunding campaign

last year. Caponi also mentioned two big programs waiting on grant funding approval, but couldn’t divulge any more details. Organizers want people to know the public is welcome to the park. “We know the audience isn’t as diverse as we like it to be,� Caponi said. “The place is for everybody.� It takes money to make some of the magic happen. Many of the summer series performances have a $5 admission fee. For some performances this summer, tickets will rise to $10. “Performers need to be compensated, but if people say they have a hardship, we’re here to serve the community,� Caponi said. “It’s something that’s being done reluctantly but there’s a financial reality. We’re still trying to figure out ways to be as accessible as possible.�

Financial stability is key to making it another 25 years. Funding for a nonprofit is a constant struggle, Potratz said. “It’s here because my husband and I dedicated 25 years of our lives to make sure it’s here,� Caponi said. “We need as an organization to look to the community for involvement. To be here for the next 25 years in terms of funding and sustainability.� Much of Caponi Art Park’s funding comes from the Minnesota Arts Board or the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council through Minnesota legacy funds. “It’s always good to the thank the people who give the money, which is the citizens of the state, and it’s also good to the let them know it’s being well used,� Caponi said. To commemorate 25 years, the park is asking

Last fall, casting artists I AM ARTs and Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center demonstrated a molten-iron pour during Caponi Art Park’s Halloween at the Park. for people in the community to submit reflective artwork for an exhibition from May to July. “All of these years the park has been here through all the programs and experiences, meaningful experiences, we’re asking the community to respond back on how the park has been a part of their life and influenced their life, and express that through whatever form of art they choose,� Caponi said. Even if community members just have a story

to share, perhaps it could be included in a story book as part of the exhibit, Caponi said. The deadline is March 31. For more information on performances and how to submit artwork, visit www.caponiartpark.org. The Caponi Art Park also seeks volunteers, board members, sponsors and input. It’s open May through October at 1220 Diffley Road in Eagan. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

REDESIGN, from 1A

She also questioned whether the district could avoid the costs associated with implementing Project Lead the Way and use the savings that would be realized to fund staff to implement STEM into the middle school programming. Alexander said it does not appear to be possible because the program includes multiple engineering modules that include computer programming, graphic design, designbuild and making projects from a design-build stage. “You’re getting into a lot more than what our science teachers would go into,� Alexander said. Board Member Terry Lind added that any money saved from not implementing PLTW could not be used for staffing anyway, since the funds associated with implementing STEM programming are from he capital levy and can only fund products, not personnel. Emily McDonald, executive director of teaching and learning, said professional development is also needed so teachers can feel comfortable integrating STEM into courses, “The teachers that are on that STEM Planning Committee currently for sixth grade have done a phenomenal job of looking at potential resources and things they can utilize to at least start embedding those principles into what they’re already teaching,� McDonald said. Board Member Judy Keliher called the Middle School Redesign Committee’s work “fabulous,� stating it puts the middle level to where it should be. Lind agreed. “I’m really excited about this,� Lind said. Board Member Jim Skelly said it is important that the district align its STEM programming between grade levels. “We’ve got K-5 STEAM and we’ve got STEM options at the high school,� Skelly said. “But we’ve got this donut hole in the middle school that doesn’t have the programming. So essentially what we’re doing here is aligning this STEM programming into the system on both sides of the middle school.� The district has budgeted $152,000 for STEM programming next year, according to the district. Board members requested cost estimates for Project Lead the Way to be provided before their five-year planning meeting to be held in two weeks.

redesign from the General Fund to ensure program stability instead of a levy renewal/referendum as had been previously discussed. Under the proposal, middle school would switch to an eightperiod flexible schedule, allowing teachers more flexibility and time to collaborate, and there would be smaller class sizes to help address students’ social-emotional needs. Programming would include explorer classes and electives. Explorer classes are mandated and reflect material teachers feel is important for students and electives are classes students can choose to take based on their interests. To help define possible class offerings, middle school students and parents were surveyed. Both groups highly rated graphic arts and world language, particularly Spanish. Some of the students’ highestrated classes were art, family and consumer science and tech education, like welding or woods. Families surveyed indicated preference for classes like computer technology, choir, computer coding, multi-media and introductory technology courses. The proposal does not fully add Project Lead the Way, the preferred STEM programming for grades 6-8, but begins toward that goal next fall by enhancing sixth-grade physical science with STEM topics of measurement, matter and heat and temperature. Board Member Bob Erickson questioned the plan because it starts with STEM in sixth grade, then eventually infuses the programming into the other grades. He questioned if more STEM opportunities could be found. Eisenthal said STEM is currently in the elementary schools, and they wanted to keep those grades exposed to the science, technology, engineering and math programming then building it up with those grades. Alexander said they could ask the committee, which includes eighth-grade science teachers, if there are ways they could expand STEM programming into areas of seventh- and eighth-grade classes next year. “We can see what solutions may be,� he said. Board Chair Michelle Volk noted that while that would expand the opportunities to other grades, it also Contact Laura Adelmann at laura. means more grade levels are sharing adelmann@ecm-inc.com. limited resources.

ACA, from 2A 24/7 for the past five or six weeks. After he was elected to his third term in 2006, former U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, held a town hall in April 2007 when he took many questions critical of U.S. involvement in the Iraq War. Some people had been asking for such a forum for a few months prior, but Kline staff said at the time that scheduling was routine. The town hall was held in Lakeville South High School’s auditorium and attended by 300 people who were described as “for the most part,

School Board Chair Michelle Volk urged strong participation from the public, stating that it is important the public have a connection and relationship with the next superintendent. “It’s the public’s superintendent,â€? Volk said. “The public should have input into who it is that would be leading the district.â€?

and ensure the project moves forward. “It was our plan all along to try to design road improvements here and deal with the needs of both existing businesses,� Olson said. “And then we’re going to be creating a new developable parcel that will hopefully be an attractive site for future office development.� Dakota County plans to

Other House Republicans have been asked to hold an in-person town hall in recent weeks. U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano, was set to hold a meeting on Wednesday, while U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, REden Prairie, has yet to hold one since being re-elected in 2016. In the past week, Lewis has held two telephone town halls in which the participants are randomly selected.

Information will be used by the board and the district’s search firm, Ray & Associates, to help define characteristics in the profile for the search for the next superintendent. The board is expected to finalize the superintendent profile for a promotional flier and online application form before the online application process begins March 13, according to the updated superintendent search time line. The deadline for applications is March 31 and Ray & Associates will develop and finalize interview questions and procedures with the School Board April 10. Top candidates will be presented to the board and the consultant will assist the board in selecting finalists for interviews. The first-round candidate interviews are scheduled the week of April 17 and inter-

views for second-round finalists are expected to occur the week of April 24. Board members have yet to determine whether to hold on-site visits with leading candidates before making an offer to the finalist. Volk said the district expects to have a new superintendent selected by early May. She said she hopes for more than 1,000 people to provide input. “It’s so important that the constituents of this district have input on who our next leader is because our next leader is going to determine the direction that our district goes in,� Volk said. “I highly encourage people to please ... take the time to ... respond.� Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

World Cafe aims to gain input on equity, integration Lakeville Area Public Schools invites families and residents to a World Cafe 6-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, to gain input on equity and integration efforts. It will be held at the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage district office, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, Burnsville. In fall 2016, more than 40 superintendents came together to form an ad hoc committee to address equity and integration in education through an initiative

named Reimagine Minnesota. These districts want to think and dream about a new model of education in Minnesota that is designed to help all Minnesota students succeed. Minnesota’s demographic composition is rapidly changing. In the coming years, the state will have an older, more diverse population across our state.

Sports Panthers hit 150, are aiming higher

They’re the champs

North takes No. 1 ranking into state gymnastics meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North reached one of its biggest goals of the gymnastics season, smashing the 150 barrier in winning the Section 2AA championship. But the Panthers still have one meet remaining, which is the state Class AA competition Friday and Saturday at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion. That means they have to adjust their goals. The biggest one still remains – winning the state Class AA team championship. Lakeville programs have won 10 state titles, but none since 2003 and none in the two-school era. The No. 1-ranked Panthers will try to change that in the state team competition at 6 p.m. Friday. Still to be achieved is North’s goal of a mistakefree meet, where each of the 20 varsity routines goes off without a hitch. “The goal is to go 20 for 20,” coach Teri Homan said. “If we can do that, we’ll probably push 152.” Lakeville North scored 150.8 points at the Section 2AA meet last Friday, finishing about 5.5 points ahead of runner-up Lakeville South. The Panthers scored 150 points for the first time this season, and became the first team in Class AA and the second in the state to do so in 2016-17. The other is Detroit Lakes, which is favored to win the Class A team championship this weekend. Although the Panthers had their highest score of the season at the section meet, it wasn’t a perfect performance. “We missed a couple of vaults, had a fall on beam and had a so-so floor routine,” Homan said. “Our girls were excited about finally hitting 150. There was a lot of joy last Friday. But we all know we can go higher, and that’s what we’re working toward this week.” Ninth-grader Rachel Steiner was section allaround champion with 38.225 points. Teammates Anna Altermatt (38.05) and Delaney Gipp (37.775) were second and third. Steiner (9.675) and Altermatt (9.55) were first and second on vault. North gymnasts took the top four spots on uneven bars with Gipp scoring 9.55, Steiner and Altermatt scoring 9.525 each and Ashley Goodlund earning 9.225. Gipp (9.45) and Steiner (9.35) were first and third on balance beam. Altermatt won floor exercise with 9.775, with Steiner second (9.675) and Gipp (9.55) third.

Steiner will compete in the Class AA individual meet at 6 p.m. Saturday. She qualified in all four events and also is eligible for the all-around championship. Altermatt advanced in all-around, vault, bars and floor. Gipp advanced in all-around, bars, beam and floor. Goodlund will compete on bars at the state individual meet. Owatonna, St. Cloud Tech and Stillwater appear to be the Panthers’ main competition for the Class AA team championship. St. Cloud Tech won last year, while North finished eighth. The addition of three high-level club gymnasts (Steiner, Altermatt and Gipp) to the North roster this season sent the Panthers rocketing up the state rankings. But Homan, who was an assistant coach on several of Lakeville High School’s state championship teams, knows the state meet is fickle. “You still have to hit your routines,” Homan said. “There are several teams that could win it.”

Individuals Lakeville North is the only South Suburban Conference team competing in the Class AA team meet Friday. Several individuals from other SSC teams will compete Saturday. Lakeville South’s Kari Wenzel advanced through the Section 2AA meet on beam and floor. Mykaela Doornbos will compete at state on balance beam, and Ally Doornbos will be on vault. Rosemount junior Josie Schlie won the Section 3AA all-around championship and qualified for state for the fifth consecutive year. She also qualified for state in all four individual events. Schlie’s winning all-around score of 38.025 included first places on floor (9.7) and beam (9.525). She took second on vault and third on bars. Farmington finished second to Northfield in the Section 1AA meet and will send two individuals to state. Amanda Davenport finished second in the all-around with 37.5 points. She will compete at state in the all-around for the second consecutive year. She placed in the top four in all four events, including a victory on bars (9.525).

About one year ago, Ellie Moser, McKenna Cavanaugh and Emily Rubins were in the stands at Xcel Energy Center as part of a raucous Farmington fan base that cheered on the Tigers at the state high school boys hockey tournament. “Best game I’ve ever been to,” Moser said. She will be back there this week – except this time as a player. Moser, a Farmington captain along with Cavanaugh and Rubins, will hit the ice about 6 p.m. Thursday when the Tigers play Edina in the

state Class AA quarterfinals. Farmington is in the state tournament for the fifth time, but the first time since 2008. “I’ve heard people say before it’s a surreal feeling” to play at the Xcel Center, said Moser, a junior forward. “When you think about all the NHLers who have played there, (Minnesota Wild captain Mikko) Koivu and those guys, it’s something special.” The Farmington girls are hoping for a rowdy home crowd Thursday as they tackle a difficult assignment – playing the state’s top-ranked team in the state quarterfinals. Edina, also the No. 1 seed in the state tourney, is 25-1-1 overall and 25-0 against Class AA schools. See HOCKEY, 13A

Lakeville North guard Temi Carda shoots over Eastview’s Megan Walstad during a South Suburban Conference girls basketball game Tuesday night. Lakeville North trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half before coming back to win 72-67 in overtime. North outscored Eastview 30-9 over the final 11 minutes, 40 seconds of play. Caitlin Peterson had 25 points and Carda 18 for North, which clinched the South Suburban championship with its victory. The Panthers are 23-2 overall and 16-1 in the conference going into their final regular-season game Friday at Eagan.

North skiers 2nd at state Alpine meet Panthers keep it under control on steep Giants Ridge hill by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Jane Steel took a ski pole to a cast fitting – that’s how badly she wanted to compete in the state Alpine meet. The Lakeville North seventh-grader broke her thumb in a training accident before last week’s state meet. To ensure she still would be able to ski for the Panthers, she brought a pole to the doctor’s office so a cast could be formed in a way that would allow her to hold it. At state, Steel placed 60th overall and 30th among skiers in the team competition, and helped North to second place. Senior Bailey Servais was North’s top skier, placing third in the individual competition. She was one of three skiers from Lakeville in the top 11. “We came into the season with pretty high expectations, and I’d have to say we exceeded them,” North coach Doug Nordmeyer said. “The teams that beat us during the regular season and at sections, like Mankato West, Stillwater and Minnetonka, we finished ahead of them at state.” The only team North didn’t beat was Chisago Lakes, which came in nine points ahead of the Panthers at the state meet. North was seven points ahead of third-place Mankato West. The Panthers tried to ski with controlled aggression on a steep, challenging Giants Ridge course at the Feb. 15 state meet. “On the first run it’s easy to go 100 percent throttle, which some competitors did,” Nordmeyer said. “But many of them didn’t make it down.

On the second run we had four skiers well positioned to score team points.” Servais had the thirdfastest time on the Red Course and the fifthfastest time on the Blue. Her combined time was 1 minute, 16.77 seconds. Blake’s Nellie Ide was first in 1:13.63 – a time that also would have been fast enough to win the boys meet, held on the same Giants Ridge courses. Orono’s Rosie Hust placed second at state for the third year in a row. Servais, 13th at state last year, “can be hard on herself,” Nordmeyer said. “She expects a lot of herself. I think she had an excellent meet. To finish on the podium is a very good result for her.” North sophomore Kathryn Kossack was 11th in 1:19.64, missing a spot in the top 10 by half a second. Peyton Servais (28th) and Steel also scored team points for the Panthers. “That was a good meet for Jane, particularly with her injury,” Nordmeyer said.

Andrea Ray (70th) and Isabelle Urban (74th) also skied for Lakeville North at state. Bailey Servais, who will attend college at Montana State, is the only skier in the Panthers’ top six who will graduate this spring. Peyton Servais, Urban and Ray are eighth-graders. “Our seventh, eighth and ninth skiers are right there behind our sixth skier,” Nordmeyer said. “There was good competition for spots in the varsity lineup at the end of this year, and there should be next year, too.” Lakeville South sophomore Lauren Geary finished in the top 10 at state for the second consecutive year, taking sixth in last week’s meet in 1:17.64. Geary had the fourth-fastest time in the second run on the Blue course.

But that moved him up only 13 spots, and he placed 57th overall. Elliot Boman, a Cannon Falls High School student who competes for Northfield, won the state individual championship for the second time in three years. Eagan’s Izak Hofstad was sixth overall in 1:17.17. He ranked sixth on the Red course and seventh on the Blue.

Local skiers compete at state Nordic meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Those who follow high school Nordic skiing assumed the boys pursuit champion would come from a group of three skiers who are close friends and compete for the same club team. The question was, who would have his best race

on the big day – Patrick Acton of Eagan, Xavier Mansfield of Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village or William Kerker of Minneapolis Southwest? Mansfield was third after the morning 5-kilometer freestyle race Feb. 17 at Giants Ridge but had the fastest time in the afternoon classic race. Mansfield made up a 20-second

deficit to Acton, who finished second at state for the second consecutive year, and passed Kerker as well to win his first state title. The three are close friends and teammates at the Loppet Nordic Club, where they combined to win a national relay championship. Last week, each was pursuing an individu-

al goal. Sometimes when several skiers are considered almost equal in ability, the race can almost be anticlimactic, said Brian Abery, coach of the ISD 196 combined program that includes Eagan. “What you see sometimes is one skier doesn’t See NORDIC, 13A

It was a fun, interesting race to watch.� Mansfield pulled away in the final 1.5 kilometers of the classic race to win with a combined time of 28 minutes, 23.2 seconds, nine seconds faster than Acton. Kerker, slowed by a collision with Mansfield on the classic leg, finished third in 28:35.6. Acton led Eagan to eighth place in the boys team competition, which Minneapolis Southwest won. The Wildcats were hoping for a spot in the top three, but that became unrealistic when senior Ryan Steger fell ill on the day of the state meet. Steger raced anyway and placed 30th in pursuit; he HOCKEY, from 13A The Hornets’ loss and tie were against Class A teams.

Farmington takes a 16-11-1 overall record – and a ton of confidence – into the state tourney. “All teams talk about how they click, and I think the week or two prior to (the Section 1AA final) game we clicked. We figured it out,� Rubins said. Several things fell into place for the Tigers, coach Jon Holmes said. A young roster (Cavanaugh is the team’s only senior) became more acclimated to playing varsity hockey. The Tigers had to deal with an early season scoring slump that eventually prompted Holmes to bring in a sports psychologist to speak with the players.

She made her debut at state as an eighth-grader, finishing 28th in pursuit. Bianco also led Ely to the girls team championship. South Suburban Conference teams Burnsville and Eastview finished 10th and 12th. Several other South Suburban Conference skiers competed individually at the state meet, including Brianne Brewster of Lakeville South (42nd), Emma Drangstveit of Lakeville North (63rd), Harmony Zweber-Langer of Lakeville South (101st) and Violet Tessier of Lakeville South (116th).

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville February 24, 2017 17A

CHALLENGES, from 1A Memories weave into conversation as he relays his history of early struggles in school, the girl who rode her bike up to him just to announce nobody liked him, and a summer school teacher who scolded him before the entire class for his left-handed writing as she plucked the pencil he was gripping from his left hand and forced it into his right. At recess, the taunts began, proving so traumatic he stuttered until he was in eighth grade and suffered knee-buckling terror at the thought of public speaking. “When I was a senior in high school, my grades were so bad I had to take history class with sophomores,� Gross said. One day, he was waiting in dread as classmates performed speeches worthy of the standing ovations they inspired, while Gross said his two-sentence speech left him a laughingstock. “I literally was shaking,� Gross said of the experience. His passion and interest was on the field, and Gross was a starting quarterback in high school. “I could throw the ball 70 yards in the air,� Gross said. “Couldn’t hit anybody, but I could throw it.� Gross attended junior college in Iowa Falls, Iowa, on a scholarship and was discouraged to realize he had to take a speech class until his speech teacher singled Gross out to compliment him on his golden speaking voice. “She changed my life,� Gross said. For the first time, he was encouraged about a speech assignment as he devised a story about fans who cannot find their cars after a game. He practiced all night before a mirror. He arrived to class excited, even eager, to deliver his speech. Just before he was to present it, Gross recognized this fresh start and told himself, “Nobody knows I’m dumb, so I’m going to pretend I’m not.� The speech drew enthusiastic applause. “Man, it was thundering,� Gross said. “It was better than a touchdown pass. It felt unbeliev-

ably good.� To his shock, he received an “A,� the first of his life. “That day changed me,� Gross said. “Because then I got another A and another A.� The teacher helped Gross get his first experience in radio. After graduation Gross went to basic training, assuming he would wind up in Vietnam. Instead, he was assigned as a radio and television broadcaster in Panama on Armed Forces Radio TV. He learned how to run cameras and made a point to listen to other broadcasters to improve his skills. Gross’ first job out of the Army was in Mason City, Iowa, as the newscaster, weather man and sportscaster, then he was in Springfield, Ill., where he worked for five years and offered to cover St. Louis football games using his own equipment for no charge. “I started to shoot and do stories,� Gross said. “Before long, the TV station in St. Louis would use my highlights and my story on their station. I really took to this football photography and really studied it and wanted to be better.� He scored an interview with world-champion boxer Ken Norton, but the camera operator was new and he did not get the footage. Gross said the picture was white and Norton sounded “like a chipmunk.� He scrambled to find anything that could be used, but ultimately described the footage as “embarrassing.� “The news director called me in and said ‘John, that was horrific,’ � Gross said. “The sponsors refused to pay for it.� Gross said he was “burning� for another chance, and a year later he won best documentary in Illinois for a piece on champion boxer Muhammad Ali. “I spent two months writing and producing it,� Gross said. He set his sights on a “bigtime station,� and his 38-page resume that included a $1 bill at the end of it for a coffee to the person taking the time to read it all landed him a job in Dallas. He eventually got a shot at his dream job of shooting football games for NFL Films.

Gross covered a football game in a driving rain, the only broadcaster on the field, getting shots of pouring rain in the lights but ruining the camera in the process. He won raves for the footage, and NFL Films hired him to cover a Packers game. “I don’t know how to run the camera very well at all,� Gross said. Everything went wrong and he had no footage well into the game. Desperate for a good shot, he was on his knees, and excited to see a guard and running back headed toward him. He was still rolling when he was hit, the camera smashed. “The next play is a game-winning touchdown,� Gross said. Gross now calls failure like that the key to his success. “I’ve failed at everything I’ve ever done,� Gross said. “NFL Films, I was fired after my first game. But it took being fired to fire me up and make me realize how bad I wanted it.� Gross became more determined, practiced, studied NFL films and stationed himself on the sidelines with NFL camera operators and watched carefully, learning when to turn on the camera, how to follow the plays. He hired a high school student to sit in the stands and mark on a chart where the camera operator was on the field when certain plays occurred and studied them to learn the best field positions for each kind of situation. By the next year, Gross’ footage of Terry Bradshaw being picked up and thrown to the ground was featured by famed sports reporter Howard Cosell who marveled at the camera operators ability to capture it. He freelanced for NFL Films for about 25 years and worked at a Texas television station where he traveled with the Dallas Cowboys on the team plane, covered the big game and joined in the team’s private celebratory concert with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson’s hit “Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys.� “They played that one song for two hours,� Gross said. “The players walked up and in the

worst voices you’ve ever heard would sing.� Gross worked at stations around the country, and came to KSTP in 1997 at age 46. “It was a dream job,� Gross said. He traveled the country covering Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves games and college and high school sports. Gross also produced features on his own and had his own segment on the show. Then, after decades in the business, Gross started feeling weak and suffered memory loss that was later attributed to several medical issues. He was diagnosed with diabetes, spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the bone channel occupied by the spinal nerves or the spinal cord, and severe depression that he described as a deep, dark hole. Gross said he was on a downward spiral and his medication exacerbated his memory loss to the point he forgot how to do some aspects of his job. “The doctors told me it was like a perfect storm,� Gross said. “Everything coming together.� Gross struggled and eventually underwent mental health treatments, which he said turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He is now focused on using his experiences to help others go forward, giving uplifting speeches to schools, organizations and businesses around the country. His talks include stories of his career and inspirational people overcoming difficulties. He always stresses four points Gross said are the keys to success: Set goals and aim high; believe in yourself; work hard, never give up and don’t be afraid of failure. “I can make a difference,� Gross said. “This is more important to me than ... any game I played or interview I did in my 40-year career. If I can help anyone, that’s so much more important.� Gross does not charge to speak to students. He can be contacted atjgrossat5@gmail. com. Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

The popular Coffee Concerts series at the Lakeville Area Arts Center is celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend with a performance by some high-profile names in Minnesota music. The concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, features Minnesota Orchestra director Osmo Vänskä and some of his orchestra colleagues performing clarinet quintets of Mozart and Brahms, as well as a clarinet-violin duo by Finnish composer Kalevi Aho. “This is a rare chance to see Osmo Vänskä put down his baton and pick up his clarinet for a full recital,â€? Coffee Concerts series co-founder Rolf Erdahl said. “We’re thrilled he agreed to bring such an all-star lineup of performers and repertoire to Lakeville.â€? Minnesota Orchestra members joining Vänskä at the concert include concertmaster Erin Keefe, principal second violin Peter McGuire, violist David Auerbach and associate principal cello Silver Ainomäe. Erdahl and his wife, Carrie Vecchione, founded the Coffee Concerts series 10 years ago when they were looking for a performance venue for their OboeBass! duo, in which Vecchione plays oboe and Erdahl bass. The Apple Valley couple inquired at the Lakeville Area Arts Center and were told if they started a chamber-music series there, they were welcome to be among the performers. The concert series has been held at the Lakeville venue since its inception. This year’s Coffee Concerts series continues April 30 with the Rose Ensemble presenting “American Roots: Harmonies That Shaped a Nation.â€? The season closes June 4 with tango music and dance featuring dancers James Sewell and Sabine Ibes along with OboeBass!, cellist Laura Sewell and guitarist Chris Kachian. Each concert features complimentary coffee and refreshments in the series’ informal cabaret setting, with the musicians providing some background on the pieces they’ve chosen to perform.
