Second arrest within the week related to the sale of a candy-like drug by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Lakeville man was charged on Monday with two felony drug counts after police found a large amount of candy-like edible “gummies� that contain THC, a byproduct of marijuana. Austin James Hagen, 23, was stopped by police for a vehicle equipment violation. According to the

complaint, the officer noticed the smell of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and then searched the car. The police officer found a large duffel bag filled with plastic containers. The containers appeared to have several thousand gummies in each one. A gummy from each container was taken and tested using a Narcotics Identification Kit. The

weight of the gummies inside the containers was approximately 99 pounds. Hagen’s arrest is the second one within the week where officers have charged a suspect with large amounts of marijuana. Officials have not indicated whether the two arrests are related. “Gummies and other edibles are of great concern as they are manufactured with varying levels

of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said. “When products are shaped liked candy, there is not only a greater concern of possible overdose, there is also the concern that children will accidentally ingest them.� Hagen’s next court appearance is set for March 15.

The excitement from the Super Bowl has dwindled down but those who were able to participate in the event will remember the experience for a lifetime. Lakeville dancers were able to take advantage of the unique experiences the Super Bowl had to offer. Lakeville North and Lakeville South high schools’ dance teams were a part of Justin Timberlake’s halftime performance. Lakeville North also got the opportunity to hold the flag while Pink sang the national anthem. Emily Meier, a senior at Lakeville North High School, also got the opportunity to dance during Super Bowl Live, a week long event before the Super Bowl in Minneapolis. According to Lakeville South varsity head coach Genevieve Adler, the team received a call from the casting director a month before the show to send

in an audition video. Both teams were selected and performed in the concert scenes, when Timberlake performed “Mirrorsâ€? and “Can’t Stop The Feeling.â€? “The whole experience was incredible and surreal. There was so much going on at the time. ‌ It was interesting to see all the working parts come together,â€? Lakeville North dance team coach Monica Fredrickson said.

Lakeville doctor pinch-hits for Port Mann part of a ‘wave of women’ seeking office by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A month into her campaign for the Minnesota Legislature, Alice Mann says she feels kinship with the dozens of women pictured in a mosaic on a Time magazine cover last month. The story describes an “unprecedented surge of first-time female candidates, overwhelmingly Democratic, running for offices big and small� early in Donald Trump’s presidency. “I think I’m part of this wave of women who are tired of sitting back and letting things happen to them,� said Mann, 37, a Brazilian immigrant, Lakeville resident, family doctor in Lakeville and emergency room doctor in Northfield. Mann, a DFLer, is also a pinch-hitter. After volunteering with the 2018 campaign of repeat candidate Lindsey Port, Mann was Port’s choice to replace her when she left the race last month (see re-

Alice Mann lated story on Page 18A). Mann is the only announced candidate for the DFL Party nomination in House District 56B, which covers southern and part of central Burnsville and part of northern Lakeville. The nominee will challenge Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, in November. “When I decided not to run, (Mann) was my first thought,� said Port, who got to know Mann’s family though Early Childhood Family Education classes. “I went to her house and asked her to think about throwing her hat in the ring. She decided to do that.� Mann, who supports moving toward singlepayer health care in Minnesota and nationally, hadn’t been involved in

grass-roots politics before the Port campaign. She’s animated by the health care issue, her dislike of the president and what she says are damaging attitudes and rhetoric. “Our president has been accused of sexual harassment by more than a dozen women. I don’t think that’s OK,� said Mann, who bristles at negative characterizations of “people of color and immigrants and Muslims and different religions. That really upsets me quite a bit. I am an immigrant, I am a woman, I am Latina — that hits home for me.� Mann was 8 when her parents brought their family from the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre to Richfield, where she was raised. Brazil was in economic and political turmoil, Mann said. “Crime was through the roof, and things were not going well,� said Mann, who said her family, including three brothers, got green cards and later earned citizenship. “And so my parents decid-

ed, ‘We don’t want to raise kids in this situation.’ � Mann grew up wanting to be a doctor. She attended Meharry Medical School in Nashville, Tennessee, and completed her family practice residency at the Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She also earned a master’s degree from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Married with three sons, ages 1, 3 and 5, Mann works at Northfield Hospital’s Lakeville Family Health Clinic and in the hospital’s emergency room. U.S. health care is “very much broken,� Mann said, adding that single-payer is her long-term goal. “Fifty other countries have done this, and most of them have better health outcomes than we do,� she said. “Something is not adding up here. Something needs to happen.� Working with nonprofits and using her vacation time, Mann has delivered medical care to poor people in Tanzania, Mali, Nicaragua, Haiti and Bra-

zil. She also delivered care in Puerto Rico after the recent hurricane and at a Syrian refugee camp in Greece. “I even have a hard time talking about it now,� Mann said of the refugee experience. “The example I use is, they would go, ‘I have back pain.’ ‘When did your back pain start?’ ‘It started last month when I was hung upside down and tortured for three weeks.’ And every story was like that.� Mann opposes Trump’s plan to cap U.S. refugee admittances far below what President Obama allowed and expiration of the DACA program for children born here to undocumented parents. Mann said Port’s departure may have slowed DFL momentum in District 56B, but she is gaining supporters and has an appetite for learning as she goes. “I’m a mom of three boys. I want them to be respectful of people. I want them to have a good education. I want their educaSee MANN, 8A

The audition process consisted of a jazz combo performed in front of agents and choreographers. Once selected she was put into a group of 14 dancers and learned three dances. According to Meier, she worked under the direction of Mark Swanheart, Los Angeles creative director who has been apart of the “X-Factor,� “So You Think You Can Dance� and two other Super Bowls. The direct choreographer was Nicole Russo, a Los Angeles based professional dancer. “It was kind of intimidating because she was doing the dances for us and she was really good,� Meier said.

Actress brings lessons from her yoga mat to the stage Core Power yoga instructor to play Suzanne in ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’ by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Inside a studio at CorePower Yoga in Apple Valley, Emily Rose Duea teaches members of the community to breathe more deeply, stretch a little further and become a lot stronger. But Duea has another side. She’s also a professional actress, and currently she’s performing in the Chameleon Theater Circle’s production of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile.� The play imagines a meeting between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein at a bar. Both are on the verge of a great discovery, and both have a great deal to learn from the other. Written by Steve Martin and directed by Daniel K. McDermott, the play is a “hilarious, if improbable, meeting of the minds.� “It’s really a discussion between Picasso and Einstein about what does it mean to be a creator and have big ideas in an even bigger world,� Duea said. She will play the role of Picasso’s lover, Suzanne. “She’s your typical French young woman,� Duea said. “She really commands the room. She’s confident. She’s an amalgamation of all his muses.� This character has stretched her to reflect on not only her role in the show, but the role she plays in a greater societal context. “Suzanne as a muse is a really interesting thing to look at, especially as women are perceived in art and in the sciences,� she said. “She plays the role of sexuality in the show — how women can take control of what they need and want.� This is Duea’s second production with the Chameleon Theatre Circle. She was in “Betty’s Summer Vacation� in 2015, when the company performed in Burnsville. “It’s a totally new group, which is really exciting,� said the Burnsville High School alum. “There are lots of different back-

As the cast has gotten to know each other better, Duea has been able to bring harmony to her two passions. “I’m pretty much known as the yoga teacher/actor,� she said. “I lead breathing exercising and stretching all the time.� Duea has fully embraced this dual identity. “I consider myself to be equally both,� she said. “They both take the same amount of time and they both are equal passions.� While her fellow actors participate in her yoga lessons behind the scenes, Duea’s yoga students are some of her biggest fans when she takes the stage. “I love my Apple Valley yogis, and I know they are excited to see the show,�

Duea said. For herself, Duea has seen yoga help her become a better actress. “A lot of the skills and exercises and mindfulness that we use in yoga directly translate into storytelling,� said. “And it helps me not let what’s happening on stage affect me personally.� Last year, she played a character who struggled with addiction and other mental health issues. “I found myself, as an outsider, looking at that character with deep empathy and compassion,� she said. “But because it is a story there is nothing you can do to help or heal the character. You take them along on this journey.� Just as she’s learned to leave her worries and stress on the mat in yoga, she was able to leave her anxiety and pains on the stage after each performance. “Applause is the num-

Lewis taken to hospital after train-truck crash 2nd District representative was evaluated for concussion, released by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

News reports said that several lawmakers who are doctors exited the train to deliver first aid to the passengers of the truck. After the crash, buses picked up the lawmakers to complete the trip to the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, where the party has planned its annual policy retreat. The train was filled with about half of the Republican members of the House and Senate, according to the New York Times. National Transportation Safety Board investigators said they expected to obtain two data recorders from the train. Board Member Earl Weener confirmed to ABC News that the NTSB was treating the incident as an “accident,� responding to reporter questions about whether it could have been an intentional act targeting GOP lawmakers. “If we find anything that indicates that this was intentional, we will turn that over to the FBI,� Weener told ABC News. AP reports said that area residents who were at the crossing earlier in the day said that the crossing arms and lights were malfunctioning, adding that the crossing arms were down at certain times with no trains crossing or in sight.

U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis was treated and released from a hospital near Charlottesville, Virginia, after the Amtrak train that he was riding in as a passenger along with several other GOP lawmakers crashed into a truck Wednesday, Jan. 31.

Opinion Amend state constitution to address succession issue When U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was pressured to resign by Senate Democrats in early January, a series of consequences unfolded that revealed a weakness in the Minnesota Constitution that needs to be addressed. To replace Franken, Gov. Mark Dayton chose his 2014 running mate, Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. That created a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor. The state constitution says plainly that the “last elected presiding officer of the state Senate shall become lieutenant governor.” However, the issue at hand is what to do if the Senate president does not want to become lieutenant governor? State Sen. Michelle Fischbach, R-Paynesville, is the Senate president. The Republicans hold a 34-32 advantage in the state Senate. One seat is vacant, caused by the December resignation of state Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-South St. Paul, after he was accused by DFLers of sexual harassment. Should the DFL retain Schoen’s seat, it would restore the Republicans’ precarious one-vote majority in the Senate. If Fischbach is then forced to become lieutenant governor, a special election would be held, giving the DFL a chance to take control of the Senate. Fischbach does not want to give up the Senate seat to which she was elected. In fact, she has not taken the oath of office to be lieutenant governor, nor has she accepted any pay for the position. How-

ECM Editorial ever, the state constitution also says that no legislator shall hold another public office except for postmaster and notary public. That would seem to make it clear that one cannot be lieutenant governor and a state senator simultaneously. Is she the lieutenant governor if she has not taken the oath of office or accepted pay for the position? A constituent of Fischbach’s has filed suit claiming that she is no longer a state senator. The courts will decide the question. The lack of desirability in becoming lieutenant governor is because the position was stripped of its most important regular duty – that of being the Senate’s presiding officer. That occurred in 1972 when voters approved a constitutional amendment by which the governor and lieutenant governor would run as a team. Then, in 1974, voters approved a general re-writing of the Minnesota Constitution to conform to modern language. Today, the lieutenant governor calls the Senate to order on its convening day, and then steps down after the presiding officer is elected. The lieutenant governor is a member of the State Executive Council, the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board, the State Capitol Preservation Board and chairs the advisory committee on Capitol Area Secu-

rity. In short, the lieutenant governor has very little political influence. His or her primary duty is to wait around and pray the governor doesn’t die. In the state’s 160-year history, the position of lieutenant governor has been vacant 12 times. Eight times the position was vacant because the lieutenant governor became governor. Four times, including this year, the lieutenant governor resigned to take another job. Sometimes the new lieutenant governor continued to vote as a senator. (The longest time a person did double duty as a lieutenant governor and Senate president was when Frank Day held both positions from Jan. 31, 1895, to Jan. 5, 1897.) Several times the Senate did not meet after the new lieutenant governor was sworn in. A few times the Senate president delayed taking the oath as lieutenant governor. The longest time that the office of lieutenant governor remained vacant was from May 1, 1953, to Oct. 28, 1954. (Lt. Gov. Ancher Nelsen resigned and Senate President Donald Wright did not take the oath until almost 18 months later.) Republicans argue that legal precedent was set by Day and others who held both offices. Democrats argue that the rewritten state constitution prohibits holding both offices simultaneously. The Legislature has enacted a statute addressing the issue of succession should both the offices of governor and lieutenant governor become vacant simultane-

ously. Should catastrophe strike the top of state government, the order of succession to be governor are first the president of the Senate, then the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, next the secretary of state, then the state auditor and finally the attorney general. All of those positions have more important responsibilities than those assigned to the lieutenant governor. For the short term, we hope the state courts act swiftly to decide this current situation. However, a long term solution is needed. We think a constitutional change is in order. That would require the approval of the voters in the next election. Possible directions that proposal could take would be to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor altogether while retaining a succession plan (and perhaps giving preference in the succession plan to someone from the governor’s own party) or to combine the job with one of the others listed in the order of succession law. What doesn’t make sense is forcing someone to take the position who doesn’t want it or paying the lieutenant governor a salary of $82,959 for a job with minimal daily responsibilities.

Reach out to a veteran on this somber anniversary by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Last week, all eyes were on Super Bowl LII. Extensive investments of time, energy and millions of dollars led up to the big game. Lost in all of the hype was a significant 50th anniversary, one that still brings pain and sorrow to many of our fellow Minnesotans. In late January and early February 1968, North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched an aggressive assault on South Vietnam targets. It was called the Tet Offensive because it was timed for the Vietnamese new year holiday, or Tet. American forces and their allies suffered huge loss of life in the weeks that followed. Despite being a young teenager in rural Minnesota, for me the war hit home every night when we watched Walter Cronkite. Each evening’s news opened with the latest in the war effort, along with the estimated number of Americans killed. Death tolls exceeded 500 soldiers a week in those days from Jan. 31, 1968, into February. Heavy fighting continued all year – some 16,899 American soldiers died in 1968. Those numbers were staggering. And for our small rural communities in southern Minnesota, we were hit hard very close to home. Three young men from the area were killed in action

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken during Tet, including my best friend’s brother, David. We were stunned as we went through the motions of the funeral and the military salute at the cemetery for our friend and neighbor. Everyone joined together to support the family. I reconnected with this lifelong friend this past summer. We did our best to catch up on a few decades of life. We laughed, shared photos and talked nonstop. It was inevitable that the conversation turned to David, his memory and his impact on her family’s life. We were keenly aware the 50th anniversary of his death was coming in a few months. “Have you been to the wall?” I asked. Not yet, she said, although she has seen the replica Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall that has stopped in several locations in Minnesota. I’ve been to the wall in D.C. several times, and each time I look up David’s name. The emotional impact of seeing more than 58,000 names carved into stone, all real people, each someone’s child, is overwhelming. Of those names, 1,077 were Minneso-

tans and one was my neighbor David. Fifty years later, the repercussions of the Vietnam War on thousands of veterans and their families continue. For some, like my friend whose brother gave the ultimate sacrifice, the wounds are still raw five decades later. For others, the wounds are harder to define. Post-traumatic stress disorder was not recognized as a real thing when the soldiers returned home. The anti-war sentiment was extensive and the veterans were not treated with respect. Others developed serious health issues over time. I’d still like to know if there was a connection between Agent Orange and the number of soldiers who developed leukemia or other cancer later in life. Today, 50 years after the costliest battles of the Vietnam War, would be a good time to reach out to Vietnam vets. But don’t just say thank you. Jake Wood, writing last Veterans Day for military.com, said: “America should move beyond trite words of thanks and into a deeper conversation about what it means to be a veteran in today’s world — or yesterday’s for that matter. With less than 1 percent of the nation having served in the military since 9/11, the divide between civilians and the military is perhaps at its widest ever.” Wood, the founder of the national veterans support nonprofit Team Ru-

bicon, encourages us to ask veterans about their experiences in the military. Yes, we know that some veterans find it difficult to answer the question, but many are eager to share their stories. I can think of a couple of other questions we can ask. We can ask a veteran to help us identify the best organizations that we can support with our donations. There seems to be many charities that claim to benefit veterans – which ones are legit? And with 2018 being an election year, we can ask veterans to help us understand which issues are most important at the state and federal level. It seems every politician says he or she supports our veterans, but how? Is there specific legislation that needs public support? Are there key funding issues we should address? What questions should we be asking when candidates knock on our doors, looking for our vote? The Super Bowl is already starting to fade in our memory. Our veterans are here with us every day. Reach out to them, not merely to say thanks but to ask questions, to seek to understand. And last, we can ask, “How can I help?” Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers. Reactions welcome: peggy.bakken@ecminc.com.

Letters Will tax cuts mean more wealth for all To the editor: A good number of voters in 2016 agreed with the idea that $15 an hour minimum wage is a good idea, including the president, even though most of the tax cuts recently passed would bypass them. Cutting taxes to corporations may be fine for a stimulus to spending by the billionaires the cuts favored, and a major part of the economic activity in the market place will continue to occur by the folks with the greater marginal propensity to consume, the lower and middle-level income earners. Cries for the “need” for cuts for

the already-wealthy may appeal to folks in the upper levels, and damage to the mid-and lower earners will be noticed. Whether a country cannot be taxed cut into more wealth for all will be closely watched. Our congressman and those who voted for him are hoping they will. It may take some real experts in economics to tell us the real story, as results happen. JANET ROHLF Rosemount

staggering. Boston streets flooded from their highest-ever tide. These effects are linked in some ways to human activities. They impact all of us through taxes and insurance rates, and also in world security as countries are destabilized by loss of land and food. In 10 years, U.S. costs are predicted to average $1 billion per day. I refuse to accept that humanity must come to its end. We know how to fix this. We have the technol-

Some say it will be easier to stop in the future, when today’s urgent concerns will be gone. That’s not what the science says. Some say the science itself is wrong. But, the evidence keeps mounting. Last year was the 21st in a row with average temperature higher than the 20th

I hope people of every political affiliation addressed this on caucus night and will continue to speak boldly that we can solve this and do want to solve this.

New Jersey firm acquires Gopher Resource

Open houses set in Lakeville

Eagan-based Gopher Resource LLC has agreed to be acquired by Energy Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in New Jersey. The two parties expect to close the transaction on or around March 6. Gopher Resource would join ECP’s growing portfolio of energy-related companies, including those in power generation, midstream oil and gas, renewable energy, environmental, and related services. Jeffrey Jacobsen, Gopher Resource chief executive officer, explained that the two like-minded companies have been in talks for some time. He said that his company’s exceptional performance and the battery industry’s growth made Gopher Resource an attractive acquisition prospect. Jacobsen expects no immediate changes in the Gopher Resource leadership team or among employees, daily plant operations, or the company’s longstanding commitments to safety and environmental stewardship. The two companies will release a joint statement once the acquisition is finalized. Gopher Resource, founded in 1946, uses advanced technology to recycle spent automotive, industrial and stationary batteries in a safe and sustainable manner. The company employs approximately 600 people at recycling facilities in Eagan and in Tampa, Florida. It also partners with Dakota County to operate The Recycling Zone for county households and businesses. For more information, visit gopherresource.com.

Teacher reads different book every day Fifth-grade teacher Jodi Hansen started ‘Book a Day’ program this year by Jody Peters

Though Hansen reads picture books to her students, they also have 30 minutes of independent reading each day. Since she started her “Book a Dayâ€? program, Hansen said she’s noticed more kids asking her for book recommendations. “I do have reluctant readers in here, but I think that they are confident now that I’ll be able to find a good book, so they’ll come up and ask, ‘I’m looking for ‌ a mystery that has a boy as the main character.’ ‘Yeah, I got some of those.’ ‘I’m looking for a book that has to do with a Hispanic girl character.’ ‌ I’ve seen a big change with that,â€? Hansen said. When her students read

independently, Hansen has them fill out reader responses once a week to get them to think critically about what they’re reading. She said she’s noticed that these responses have improved since she started reading a book a day. “My students now are able to react and respond more deeply to texts ‌ because every day when I read out loud, they respond to it too. ‌ Their responses have gotten so much better because they know what to ask themselves, because they’re used to me asking them questions,â€? Hansen said. Some of the questions Hansen asks her students are “What surprised you?â€? or “What’s the moral?â€? or “Why do you think I chose this book?â€? Hansen said she has a purpose for every book. Some fit into a unit she’s teaching. For example, she read a book about a boy who’s born as an ice cube to talk about the water cycle. Recently she taught a unit about the civil rights movement, so she read books that related to the movement in the 1960s as well as books about how World War II affected the Japanese. One of those books, called “Faithful Elephants,â€? is about Japanese zookeepers who had to decide what to do if a bomb was detonated near the zoo, because the animals could become frightened and possibly hurt people. Though the book was

heavier in tone, Hansen said her students still enjoyed it and it led to thoughtful conversations. “I read that book and some of the kids were just weeping. It was really a moving book and we had these great discussions. So they like that too; even though that book was just horribly sad, it was really moving for them,� Hansen said. Although she has buckets full of picture books, Hansen still has about 100 days left in the school year. She made a list of books she wanted and has been able to get many from the library, but will need to purchase many on the list. With each book costing about $10-12, she decided to make a Donors Choose page to help fund the cost. Hansen hopes that she’s able to share many of those books — with topics ranging from how food gets from farm to table to an autobiographical tale by Malala Yousafzai — to spread the love of reading to her students. “I think it’s a great program. I think the kids really like it. I know my principal supports it, and I love to see their smiling faces. It’s a good way to start out every day,� Hansen said.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Every morning at North Trail Elementary, Jodi Hansen’s students gather around a reading nook set up in the corner of her classroom. The 32 fifth-graders cram together, eagerly waiting to hear which story they’ll hear today. Ever since the 2017-18 school year started, Hansen has read a different book each day to her students. She got the idea after attending a conference this summer that featured teacher and author Donalyn Miller. Miller spoke about creating a safe environment for children from an emotional and social standpoint, which resonated with Hansen when she saw the diversity on her class roster. “A little bit over a third (in my class) are either low income level, African American, Asian — just a variety of beautiful students. ‌ I kind of went, ‘Wow, it’s like she’s speaking to me,’ â€? Hansen said. After attending the conference, Hansen found a Facebook group called Classroom Book of the Day. The group is made up of teachers who can share book recommendations and bounce ideas off each other. She explained that she takes the class’s diversity into account when choosing books, because she wants all of her students to be motivated to read.

Every morning, Hansen reads a different book to her students as part of the “Book a Day� program. “I want to make sure that I am taking into consideration their uniqueness and their diversity and bring books to them that they’d be interested in,� Hansen said. Hansen also wants to build her students’ social and emotional skills, so she chose books like “Dream Big,� which tells the story of a young Michael Jordan, to teach empathy. Hansen said that every year, she tries to do something to change and grow professionally. So far her program is helping her reach that goal, and her students “absolutely love it.� Sometimes, if the students really enjoy a book, Hansen said they will ap-

plaud when she’s finished reading. On one of those days, North Trail’s principal happened to stop by, and he called Hansen to his office afterward to talk about it. “He said, ‘I cannot believe that you get the response that you do from your students just having them listen to you read aloud. ‌ Every one of them was glued on you,’ â€? Hansen said. On the back wall of her classroom, Hansen has a bulletin board that shows every book she’s read aloud. Each day is marked with a picture of the book’s front cover. Hansen said the students look forward to seeing the covers get pinned to the board each day.

The Eastview Lightning dance team lit up the U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 4. The girls performed during the pregame and halftime shows at Super Bowl LII. After sending in audition videos, the Lightning dancers were selected along with several other teams from the metro area. The girls had to agree to keep their participation a secret — a small price to pay for the opportunity to dance with Justin Timberlake at a nationally televised event. The team first learned the choreography from a video, and later made several journeys to the stadium for rehearsals with the other dancers.

Panthers win Section 6 championship by one point by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North and Lakeville South will send teams to next week’s state Alpine skiing meet, and Eagan ninth-grader Camden Palmquist also will advance after winning the boys individual championship at the Section 6 meet. The races for team championships were close at Tuesday’s section meet at Buck Hill. The South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville North girls were one point ahead of Mankato West, although both teams will go to state. West earned its state spot by 12 points over Eden Prairie, the third-place team in Section 6. Edina held off Lakeville South by three points

for the section boys team championship. The Cougars, who won the South Suburban Conference championship last week, were 31 points ahead of third-place Mankato West. North’s Kathryn Kossack and Peyton Servais finished third and fourth individually to help lead the Panther girls back to state, where they were runners-up last year. At the section meet, Kossack completed two trips down the Buck Hill slalom course in 48.27 seconds, while Servais finished in 48.90. Becca Divine of Eden Prairie won the individual championship in 47.60. Jane Steel (23rd, 52.99) and Isabelle Urban (25th, 53.18) also counted toward North’s team total of 409 points. Tera Cun-

ningham placed 44th and Abi Hahs was 46th. Lakeville South was fourth in the girls team competition with 394 points, 14 away from a state qualifying spot. Two Cougars qualified individually for state – Lauren Nida (fifth, 49.07) and Hannah Rost (13th, 50.29). The top 10 individuals not on a qualifying team also advance to the state meet. Other Section 6 girls skiers that advanced to state individually include Kate Young of Eastview, who was 10th in 49.91, and Sophia Palmquist of Eagan, 11th in 49.99. Hannah Burns of Eagan was 15th, one place and .12 away from advancing to state. Eagan placed seventh in the girls team standings, led by Sophia Palmquist

and Burns. Burnsville was 10th, with Paige Peterson the Blaze’s top finisher in 43rd place. Young led Eastview’s team to 11th place. Renee Boldus was 16th individually for Rosemount, which was 13th in the team standings. Hannah Schultz was 45th individually for Apple Valley, which placed 15th. Edina placed two individuals in the top seven in the Section 6 boys race, which allowed the Hornets to squeak past Lakeville South for the team championship. The four skiers that counted toward South’s team total of 440 points all finished 17th or higher. Ninth-grader Kyle Wentworth (47.08) and senior Brandon Wentworth (47.47) finished ninth and 10th for Lakeville South. Oliver Grasdal was 16th in

49.20 and Joe Olson took 17th in 49.25. John Olson and Espen Grasdal were 21st and 22nd. Camden Palmquist had the fastest time on both runs, and his overall time of 44.90 was almost seventenths of a second faster than the runner-up Jaidan Rollings of Mankato West. Also advancing individually was Eagan’s Izak Hofstad, who placed fourth in 46.45. Tye Ahlberg of Rosemount finished eighth in 46.87 to earn a place at the state meet. Also advancing individually were Joshua Doolittle of Eastview (11th, 47.57) and Romeo Sweeney of Lakeville North (12th, 47.65). Camden Palmquist and Hofstad led Eagan to fourth place in the boys team standings with 366 points. Rosemount was

eighth, with Ahlberg and Mark Biechler (18th) placing in the top 20. Sweeney was the top finisher for Lakeville North, which was ninth in the team standings. Eastview placed 10th, led by Doolittle. Trent Coyne was 38th individually for Burnsville, which was 11th in the team competition. Nick Vowels was 35th individually for 14th-place Apple Valley. The state meet is Wednesday, Feb. 14, at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. First run is 10 a.m. and second run is 1 p.m. Team and individual competitions will be held simultaneously.

South teammates 2nd, 3rd in section Nordic Notebook: the latest Brewster, Tessier compete at state next week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A few years ago, Eastview’s second-place finish at the Section 1 Nordic skiing meet would have been as heartbreaking as it gets. The Lightning and Winona/Winona Cotter scored the same number of points at Tuesday’s section meet, but Winona won the tiebreaker based on combined time of each team’s top four skiers. The second-place finish still sends Eastview to next week’s state meet at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Until the 2014-15 season, only section champions advanced to state, but a format change now allows the top two finishers from each section to ski at state. Thus, the Lightning avoided a harsh fate. Burnsville’s boys also advance to state as a section runner-up after finishing six points behind Prior Lake at the Section 1 meet at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. The Blaze was third in last year’s section meet. Winona sophomore Anni Skillkorn won the girls pursuit race in 31 minutes, 48 seconds, which also proved key to her team winning the tiebreaker as she finished more than two minutes ahead of Eastview’s fastest skier. The Lightning was led by senior Kareena Clendening, who was 10th overall in 34:21. Kira Gunawan was 13th in 34:59. Josie Roberts (15th, 35:40), Anna Schumann (16th, 36:02), Claire Nack (17th, 36:04) and Gabby Kraemer (19th, 36:33) also finished in the top 20 for Eastview. Annika Challgren placed 33rd.

Hailey Moerbitz competes for Lakeville South at the Section 1 Nordic skiing meet Tuesday in Bloomington. It will be the fifth consecutive trip to the state meet for Eastview, which finished 12th last year. The top six individuals not on one of the qualifying teams also advance to the state meet, which on the Section 1 girls side meant the second- through seventh-place finishers will move on. That group includes Lakeville South teammates Brianne Brewster and Violet Tessier, who finished second and third. Brewster had the second-fastest time on the classic and freestyle stages and had an overall time of 32:33. Tessier’s time was 32:50. Rosemount senior Tess Grunklee also will ski at state after finishing sixth

been competing and training overseas with the U.S. Under-18 team and did not ski in enough regularseason high school meets to qualify for sections. Hanna Holmstrom was the Blaze’s top skier in the Section 1 meet in 11th place. Theresa Passe was 14th for Eagan and Grete Engels led Lakeville North in 20th place. Senior Thomas Ryan led the Burnsville boys by taking third in the pursuit race in 28:14. Andrew Qualley (29:29) and Matthew Berg (29:23) were ninth and 10th. Alex Gude placed 14th in 30:00. Dawson Quimby (28th), Michael Kraimer (30th) and Darren Wong (41st) also skied for the Blaze. Eagan’s seven-year streak of sending a team to state ended, but the Wildcats have two individual qualifiers – senior Jack Martin, fifth in 28:38, and sophomore Brian Dilla, 11th in 29:38. Gus Schatzlein of Prior Lake won the boys pursuit race in 26:45, with Eastview senior Bryant Ruff second in 27:42. Eagan was third, Eastview fifth, Lakeville North eighth, Lakeville South ninth and Rosemount 10th in the boys team standings. Apple Valley did not have a section entrant. Sophomore George Grunklee was 22nd overall to lead Rosemount. Wyatt Hall was Lakeville South’s top skier in 34th, and Joe Quaal placed 35th to lead Lakeville North. The state meet is Thursday, Feb. 15, with girls freestyle at 10 a.m., boys freestyle at 11:15, girls classic at 2 and boys classic at 3.

The Twin Cities area was a staging ground for thousands of celebrating Eagles fans last weekend. They dined. They danced. They cheered. They even packed nutritionally complete meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. A group of Eagles fans from the Philadelphia area spent Saturday morning packing food at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan. “We wanted to pay it forward,� said Howard Brooks, one of the members who volunteered. “We’re privileged and fortunate enough to come out and enjoy our Eagles.� Perhaps that good karma worked the following day when Philadelphia won the Super Bowl. The team may have needed it. Brooks recognized that not everyone from Minnesota is happy with Philadelphia Eagles fans given several reports of unruly behavior during the NFC Championship game last month. “We view ourselves as fan ambassadors for Philadelphia,� Brooks said.

“We have an undeserved national reputation as being tough fans. That’s not true. Like everything else, there’s a couple bad apples that ruin the whole bunch. We’re good-character, high-morals, Midwest-nice, passionate fans and there’s a lot of us.� A group of between 12 and 18 neighbors have attended at least one away game a year for about 15 years. Like most fans visiting another city, they take in the area attractions and restaurants, but about seven years ago they decided to start reaching out to charities. Brooks is a partner with the professional services company Ernst & Young, which has offices throughout the country. Before they travel to an away game, they reach out to help identify local charities for a day of community service. “We try to find organizations that benefit underserved or underprivileged children,� Brooks said. It’s a group effort. They’ve served breakfast at a safe house for at-risk young women in Phoenix before a Arizona Cardinals game. “It’s really rewarding,�

Brooks said. The group helped with a leadership conference in Seattle, volunteered at a clinic in New Orleans, helped with a career day in Chicago, and took youths from Los Angeles on a outing. “We make it a long weekend,â€? Brooks said. “We’re grateful to travel to see our beloved Eagles, but we like to do something with the local charities. Frankly it’s become a highlight of our trip.â€? They still went to the Super Bowl Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Mall of America, and Nicollet Mall, the site of several Super Bowl-related activities. “We got the full experience, but we wanted to carve out time for this,â€? Brooks said. “We’re trying to do some good and having some fun ‌ It’s about sharing this experience with a close-knit group of guys. The charity event creates a special bond. We’re thankful to work with them.â€? To volunteer at Feed My Starving Children, visit www.fmsc.org. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount hockey families travel as far as Minneapolis and Fairbault for open time at ice rinks, but that could change soon. The Rosemount City Council approved a 10year joint powers agreement with Inver Grove Heights that could lead to Rosemount assisting with repairs to the west rink at the Veterans Memorial Community Center in return for more ice time. With this proposal, Rosemount Area Hockey Association would get a total of 550 peak hours of ice time from Nov. 1-Feb. 28 annually. It includes both weeknight and weekend hours. In return, Rosemount would help pay for about 69 percent plus the interest of the costs in rink improvements. It would be no more than 90 percent of the total costs, according to City Administrator Logan Martin. The 69 percent is based on a formula that RAHA would use the rink 69 percent of the time. According to city documents, the estimated cost of repair range from $860,000 to $1.1 million. It’s not a done deal. Rosemount can opt out if bids are too high, or if RAHA doesn’t agree to a joint powers agreement with the city, said Parks and Recreation Director Dan Schultz. The city is working on another joint powers agreement where RAHA would reimburse Rosemount for about one half of the city’s portion. RAHA currently rents about 200-225 hours at VMCC yearly. Council Member Shaun Nelson said he’s heard several concerns from hockey families who spend a lot

of money and time traveling to places such as Ridder Arena in Minneapolis and Shattuck-St. Mary’s Sports Complex and Ice Arena in Faribault. He said of the 780 skaters with RAHA, about two-thirds travel outside the city limits for ice time. He voted in favor of the agreement. The money would go toward a new rink floor, supply header, electrical improvements, dasher board improvements, a new ice resurfacer and design fees along with contingency funds. The ice resurfacer, with a cost of about $145,000, would maximize the ice available to RAHA because it would take less time to resurface the ice. “It allows them to build in another 100 hours of prime ice time,� Schultz said. “That’s the reason for the ice resurfacer. There’s only one right now. Our push to them is that we’d like to maximize our opportunity. They would be responsible for the maintenance.� RAHA would still pay an hourly fee to rent the ice. Schultz said the city would not be required to pay for any additional operating costs or capital improvements. “If further issues come up, the roof starts to leak, the scoreboard stops working, the dasher boards need repair, the benches fall over and need repair, the only thing we would need to pay for is in this joint powers agreement,� Schultz said. RAHA is in favor of moving forward, Schultz said. The city went to its residents for a parks and recreation referendum in 2016, which included a new indoor ice rink. It failed. Schultz said a new full

sheet of ice would have cost about $8.7 million at the time. It would now cost about $9.4 million due to inflation. The price tags don’t include the price of land. “With the failed referendum, the need for ice really hasn’t gone away,� Schultz said. Between the school district and RAHA, the Rosemount Ice Arena is at capacity. “We really have no other ways to provide them the ice that they need,� Schultz said. When the referendum failed, Rosemount’s Parks and Recreation staff was contacted by Inver Grove Heights about a possible partnership. “The city’s facility has two rinks, but both were in need of major repairs,� Schultz said. The east rink was updated in 2017, but the west rink is still in need of upgrades. If the joint powers agreement falls through, Schultz said Inver Grove Heights might not put ice on the west rink. “Inver Grove Heights doesn’t have the same vibrancy (for hockey) as Rosemount,� Schultz said. He said the rink is covered with artificial turf except from November to February. “They might leave (the artificial turf there) year round,� Schultz said. “RAHA might lose it.� The 10-year agreement gives the city time to evaluate its future needs for an ice rink. Schultz said it would allow time to see if building a new arena in the future makes sense, or co-op with another community such as Farmington. If all goes as planned, the city would look at bids in May.

Art teacher offers perspective

Kurtz teaches life lessons through painting

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The sign on a wall at Dakota Hills Middle School reads: “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” The quote, attributed to Pablo Picasso, is almost lost among the several dozen pieces of student artwork that surround it, but the message is clear: someone has taught the soon-to-be adults who created these paintings how to remain artists. That person is Tim Kurtz, the only art teacher at Dakota Hills. He has dedicated his life to keeping the artist alive in his students, and keeping the school alive with art. Kurtz curates nearly every hallway of the school with his students’ work. Portraits, masks, painted lanterns and large, collaborative art pieces bring color and life to common spaces. On the grayest of winter days, the halls remain bright and cheery. Even the stairwells serve as art exhibits. Recently, Kurtz’s students painted and displayed 168 Picasso-inspired portraits. Through smaller art projects his students learned about color, shape and line. After teaching them about Picasso and Cubism, one of

his signature styles, Kurtz asked his students to paint their own Cubist portraits. “We started with these four squares,” Kurtz said, gesturing to a painting comprised of four miniature paintings. “We learned about using black and white, then we learned about monochromatic colors, then we talked about hot and cold and finally we talked about opposites.” It’s clear from the students’ work in the hallways that they mastered those four lessons, but Kurtz’s students say painting is not the only skill he has taught them. “It’s more than painting and art — he’s taught me a way of looking at life,” eighth-grade student Chris Jones said. “It’s a more positive way of looking at things.” Through art Kurtz has also taught his students to be more accepting. “He taught me how to be less critical of myself. I learned I don’t have to be perfect,” eighth-grade student Weris Jama said. “Art doesn’t have one answer. He’s helped me see that there are a lot of different perspectives.” Jones learned a similar lesson. “He taught us that nobody is perfect, and that you can look at anything and see different types of

perfect,” Jones said. Perhaps it is for that reason that so many students choose to take art classes with Kurtz, even when they are electives. “It’s welcoming, this place,” said seventh-grade student Sarah Finwall. “It’s a place to go when you want to feel better.” Kurtz’s classroom environment extends far beyond his classroom. One of the most noticeable examples is the Wall of Fame — a glass case where Kurtz displays some of the most impressive pieces his students create. “Sometimes people will ask me why their piece isn’t on the wall, and I’ll say: ‘You are captain of the swim team,’ or ‘You’re first chair in the orchestra,’ ” Kurtz said. “Everyone is good at something, and I try to create a space for kids who might not always have one somewhere else.” Kurtz has not only created a unique culture for what pieces he displays, he’s also changed the culture of walking down the hallway. “The Wall of Fame is not just a thing to look at,” Finwall said. “People notice things.” Jama and Jones agreed. “People don’t just walk past that hallway,” Jama said. “They stop and look at it.” “We think about what

Kurtz has taught his students to have a greater appreciation for art, and for their peers who create it. “Everyone has something different to offer,” Finwall said. “We can be inspired by each other’s work, and we know that’s not copying. It’s like we are complimenting them.” Jones is considering a career in architecture or graphic design. Jama and Finwall both aspire to become doctors, but they have gotten involved in their school’s theater program and have taken on leadership roles in areas related to tech and design. Though they may not pur-

sue formal careers in art, all three said Kurtz’s classes have inspired them to find ways to incorporate art into whatever career they choose. It’s not only the students who have been profoundly impacted by Kurtz — his work daily impacts his peers as well. “Tim’s art displays fill my soul,” District 196 peer leader Marge Dunn said. For Kurtz, it’s all in a day’s work. He’s dedicated over three decades of his life to teaching. “Tim has taught for over 30 years and continues to pour himself into the art and lives of his students,” said Cathy Kisch, a seventh-grade math teacher at Dakota Hills. “This is a teacher who inspires

generations of middle school children, as well as other teachers.” “He’s the best teacher in America, hands down,” said Dakota Hills Assistant Principal Jim Roberts. “He gets kids to really love art. He creates 30 artists with every class.” Although Kurtz won’t always be their teacher, the lessons he teaches his students continue to inspire them to stay artists as they transition into their young adult lives. Even if they don’t pick up a paintbrush every day, they’ll use the lessons Kurtz taught them about seeing different perspectives. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Marijuana bust leads to felony charges An Eagan man was found with more than 250 pounds of marijuana in various forms last week, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Brian David Hiltner, 28, was charged with a felony first-degree controlled substance crime (sale or 25 or more kilograms) following a search in Lakeville on Jan. 31. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail and a $1 million fine. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and Lakeville Police Department executed a search warrant in Lakeville

where they found more than 200 pounds of plastic vacuum sealed bags of marijuana, several hundred containers of wax marijuana, 50 pounds of marijuana gummies and $26,000 in cash. Prior to executing the search warrant, an officer observed a vehicle driven by Hiltner leave the property. When he was stopped, the officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Following a search, officers found nine vacuum-sealed plastic bags believed to be filled with about a pound of marijuana each with 14 gallon-sized plastic

bags in excess of 50 pounds containing edible gummies. In the house, officers found 183 more vacuum-sealed bags with additional edible gummies and large containers of marijuana in wax form. Backstrom was particularity concerned about the candy-based drugs. “Gummies and other edibles are of great concern as they are manufactured with varying levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana,” Backstrom said. “When products are shaped like candy, there is not only a greater concern of possible overdose,

there’s also the concern that children will accidentally ingest them.” While being interviewed by officers, Hiltner admitted that he lived in the residence and all the items belonged to him. He said he sells the drugs. When he was stopped by the officer, he said he was bringing marijuana to a friend. Backstrom thanked Lakeville police and Southwest Metro Drug Task force for their quick response and investigation. Hiltner’s bail was set for $50,000. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 22.

One Book, One Lakeville Free tickets to the 10th anniversary celebration of One Book, One Lakeville featuring “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann are now available. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles,

built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. In “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood and the evidence that revealed a series of sinister secrets and reversals. The One Book, One Lakeville celebration is 7-9 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. For tickets, go to https://webtrac.lakevillemn.gov.

Residents can review the renovation plan for Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings during an open house Thursday, Feb. 22. Floor plans, 3-D renderings and concept images will be available to view, and Dakota County staff and consultants will answer questions. The open house will be 5-7 p.m. at the library, 1490 S. Frontage Road, Hastings. Dakota County has selected Minneapolisbased Kodet Architectural Group as the designer for the Pleasant Hill Library renovation. Design meetings began in early January 2018. Pleasant Hill has not undergone renovation since its construction in 1994. The renovated library will feature amenities that include a larger community meeting room, an iLAB, conference room, a family restroom, a larger dedicated space for teenagers and more. The design process is anticipated to be completed in July 2018. A detailed schedule for construction will be available after the bid is awarded in late summer. More information can be found at www.dakotacounty.us./library.

its Meet The Author series Thursday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m. at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. Krogman is the author of “Stuff of Nightmares,” which is based on the fact that unidentified human remains add up to some 4,400 new cases every year in the U.S. When the manner of death is determined a homicide, bringing the case to a successful resolution and the murderer to justice is nearly impossible. In most cases when identity can be established, life segments begin to congeal, possible suspects are established and through the process of elimination a prime suspect emerges. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. But in the case of this book, sometimes it doesn’t. As investigators build their case in the book, there are times when the simplest of requests are the hardest to fulfill, the best of intentions leading to the worst of conclusions. At times like this investigators can find themselves out there edging their way across a highwire and working without a net. Krogman lives in a suburb of St. Paul with his wife of 44 years. They have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Thisweekend Contest to name zoo’s new tapir calf Shannon Park students honored The Minnesota Zoo held the public debut of the 1 month-old endangered Malayan tapir calf on Tuesday. The soonto-be-named female was born on Jan. 6. Zoo guests will be able to see the calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. To help celebrate this milestone, the zoo will be launching a public naming contest for the new female calf. The general public will be able to submit their name suggestions on mnzoo.org through Feb. 11. Zookeepers will select the top three names and the public will have the chance to vote for their favorite, Feb. 13-15. The tapir calf’s official name will be announced on Feb. 16, prior to the zoo’s annual Tropical Beach Party. “We are very excited to finally introduce the public to our newest tapir calf,� says Tropics Trail curator, Tom Ness. “It has been fun to watch her and mom bond behind the scenes this past month. She definitely has her own personality and it will be interesting to see all of the name suggestions from our guests.� The new calf is one of 37 tapirs currently in North American zoos. Born at 16 pounds, she has been rapidly growing behind the scenes with mom and currently weighs approximately 44 pounds. Because she will only be viewable in the public tapir habitat for limited periods of time, she can be seen via the zoo’s social media channels and a special webcam. The Malayan tapir’s gestation period varies from 390-419 days. Moth-

Minnesota Zoo guests will be able to see the new Malayan tapir calf daily for short periods of time as she adjusts to her new space. ers usually give birth every two to four years to a single calf (twins are rare). At birth, a calf weighs approximately 10-20 pounds. For the first 6-8 months of their life, tapir calves resemble furry watermelons with legs. They are dark brown to black with alternating bands of yellowishwhite stripes and spots. Young tapirs grow quickly and can weigh as much as 450 pounds at one year of age; they reach adult size in 2-3 years. Malayan tapirs are one of the most endangered animals in Southeast Asia; there are fewer tapirs than tigers in the wild. Their population is declining due to road mortality, habitat loss from deforestation for agricultural

purposes, flooding caused by dam building for hydroelectric projects, and illegal trade. People can help wild tapirs by shopping smart for sustainable palm oil. In human care, Malayan tapirs are managed for breeding purposes by a Species Survival Plan, which, through the coordinated efforts of several zoos throughout North America, helps maintain a backup gene pool for the future aid of the wild population. The zoo currently participates in many SSP programs, including the Malayan tapir. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org.

‘A price to pay’

News Briefs

Franken backlash a factor in her decision not to run again, Port says by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lindsey Port was on the sidelines of Tuesday night’s DFL Party caucus at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Savage. Instead of addressing Senate District 56 activists as a candidate, Port held up her phone to record others as they spoke. Two years ago she was a promising first-time candidate — a mother of two young children and business owner with a progressive, “working families� agenda. The Burnsville resident tried to unseat incumbent Rep. Roz Peterson, RLakeville, in House District 56B. After garnering 47.5 percent of the vote in a losing effort in one of Minnesota’s battleground districts, Port was all in for another run in 2018. But on the second Monday in January Port came to a monthly party meeting, announced she was leaving the race and introduced a hand-picked successor, Alice Mann (see related story on Page 1A). “I was totally shocked. I’d never seen it coming,� said Garry Moore, chair of Senate District 56 DFLers. Port sidelined herself but says she was also sidelined by circumstances — a candidate deemed by some would-be supporters and donors as “too controversial� after accusing a DFL legislator of sexual harassment during the 2016 campaign and after Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken, caught up in the #MeToo moment, subsequently announced his resignation in early December after being accused by several women of improper conduct. “I think in my case it’s different than probably the general movement across the country,� Port said. “I think because I spoke out about sexual harassment, there was a price to pay.� Labeled by some an en-

She was having a hard time getting ahold of donors who had supported her in the past as well. And we definitely started seeing change in the tenor of social media comments.� Port believes she became an easy target for some party activists, donors and past supporters upset that Franken stepped down, “even though our situations weren’t at all connected.� She recalled “some pretty aggressively nasty comments to the point where people were theorizing that Erin and I were paid by some shadowy figure to soften the ground up for Al Franken to be accused, which sort of blew my mind.� Her campaign and her nonprofit — which supports diverse, young and new candidates — suffered. “We lost $70,000 in pledges (to Blueprint Campaigns), and my campaign lost $6,000 in pledges and donations,� Port said. She was “too controversial,� some told her to her face or over the phone. But she hopes to remember this moment in history for more than personal backlash. “Almost every woman that I know has a #MeToo story,� Port said. “I think hopefully, it will help change the national dialogue as we talk about this. It’s very clearly not a few bad apples. It’s a pervasive culture that we have in our country, and until we talk about that, we’re never going to change it.�

Third-grader wins ‘Minute to Win It’ Gavin Stuart, a thirdgrader at Lakeview Elementary School, was a winner in Merchants Bank’s “Minute to Win It� during the Lakeville South boys varsity basketball game on Jan. 26. He registered prior to the game and when his name was drawn, he made a layup, free throw, three-point and half-court shot – at the minute buzzer – winning $250. “He was a natural and the crowd was so excited for him,� said Merchants Bank Minute to Win It coordinator Kelly Donohoe. One adult and one student get to take part at halftime of each Lakeville South home game and Merchants Bank matches prizes won with a donation to the Lakeville South athletics program. No customer relationship is necessary to enter or win. Merchants Bank employees and family members are not eligible.

Rain garden workshops in Burnsville Burnsville and Dakota County residents are once again invited to attend free Landscaping for Clean Water workshops. The workshops are offered 6:15-7:30 p.m. Monday, March 5, and Tuesday, April 10, at Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, (use Door 1, Savage Room), Burnsville. These introductory workshops provide tips and tricks on creating native gardens, rain gardens and shoreline stabilization projects that benefit local water quality and provide much-needed habitat for pollinators.

During the workshops, which last just over one hour, participants will learn about low-maintenance native gardens, rain gardens and native shoreline stabilization projects that help keep water bodies clean. In addition, trained instructors will provide affordable examples of gardens that transform conventional urban yards into beautiful and beneficial landscapes – all while providing habitat for pollinating insects. These gardens also help filter storm water runoff, which helps stop pollutants from flowing to lakes and streams. After attending an introductory workshop, participants can sign up to attend a $25 rain garden design course, where they will receive design assistance to create a functioning rain garden specific to their own yard. Registration is required by emailing swcd@co.dakota.mn.us or calling 651-480-7777. Visit www.dakotacountyswcd.org for more information. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District offers grant opportunities of up to $250 for these types of water quality improvement projects. The city of Burnsville also offers grant opportunities of up to $1,000 for residents. The application deadline for the city grant program is Monday, May 7. Residents are invited to attend workshops in other communities: Apple Valley (Feb. 28 or April 11); Farmington (March 27); Inver Grove Heights (April 4); Lakeville (April 9); Eagan (April 26); and Rosemount (April 30). For more information on Burnsville grant opportunity and the Natural Resources Department, visit www. burnsville.org/WQGrant.
