age from 19 to 51. Heroin addiction, which often starts with use of prescription pain medication, is such a growing concern in Lakeville, the city is hosting a town forum to discuss the topic March 13 at Lakeville City Hall, 20195 Holyoke Ave. Resources and information will be available starting at 6 p.m. and discussion starts at 6:45 p.m. Speakers include addiction specialist Carol Ackley, who will provide information about opioid addiction.

Admission to the event is free, and it is open to all residents.

Heroin and opioid abuse worldwide has reached epidemic proportions and is a growing problem in Lakeville, according to Lakeville Police Chief Jeff Long. He said in his latest LPD Chief’s Report, posted on Facebook March 6, Lakeville’s demographic is a perfect fit for heroin and opioid addiction, abuse and overdose. “The fastest growing users in America are young, white middle-class people,� Long said, noting the illegal drug is two to four times more potent than morphine, has much faster onset and users often mix it with fentanyl, a synthetic painkiller. Long described fentanyl as 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine, adding that in the past year, there have been multiple heroin overdose deaths in Lakev- Contact Laura Adelmann at ille of people ranging in laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Discussed: Money, moving, middle school by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Out of $5.5 million worth of recent staff proposals, middle school redesign ranks highest on the Lakeville Area School Board’s priority list. Plans for funding the redesign and the multiple additional district proposals and plans were part of the board’s focus at a March 7 work session that stretched over four hours and covered numerous issues, led by Michael Baumann, executive director of business services. As School Board members praised the 75page presentation for its detail but complained they did not receive it in time to review, Baumann laid out the district’s five-year finance planning in quarters, showing spending will exceed revenue by $3.3 million by this summer. Without change, the deficit is projected to continually increase, and by fiscal year 2019 (summer 2018), the district is projecting expenditures to exceed revenues by $4.8 million and its unassigned fund balance to be $3.1 million in deficit. Using several assumptions that anticipate enrollment, salary and benefit increases, state funding and other items, by fiscal year

Michael Baumann, District 194 executive director of business services, led School Board members and staff through a five-year fiscal outlook presentation at a March 7 meeting, held at the Minnesota School of Business building in Lakeville. Baumann also proposed the district lease more space at the facility for some of its programming, including possibly Adult Community Education, where its lease expires in August. The board also expressed interest in leasing space in the facility for its own meeting space instead of using Lakeville City Hall. 2021, Baumann projected the district’s beginning fund balance would be negative $183,112 and its unassigned fund balance negative $11 million. By fiscal year 2022, Baumann projected the district’s beginning fund balance in a $9.3 million deficit and its unassigned fund balance in deficit more than $22.3 million. “What this says is we have some challenges that we have to deal with, and they’re coming in fiscal year ’19, so interdiction has to occur,� Baumann said. “The administration has to figure out how to deal with this potential challenge.� He emphasized there

should not be panic because there are many things that can change, noting the district is investigating the potential of about $1 million in savings by employing energy conservation measures, such as using LED lighting. He noted they are also reviewing the potential savings of solar energy. Several levy renewals are coming up, including one for $8.3 million this fall. Baumann said a levy referendum will be held in fall 2021 and advocated to begin campaigning for it in 2020. Baumann reported the district has $2.4 million in lease levy See PLAN, 16A

Lakeville’s newest community art project, a colorful fiberglass moose created last fall, was found by city staff apparently vandalized early Monday morning. A city staff member noticed the moose lying on its side in Pioneer Plaza in downtown Lakeville on March 6 and notified Lakeville Parks Superintendent Mark Kruse

Lakeville’s moose, painted during the 2016 Lakeville Art Festival and installed in the city’s downtown park, Pioneer Plaza, last fall was apparently vandalized. The moose was discovered on the ground with damage to its ankles and an antler early Monday morning. Lakeville police are investigating.

# ! " " " "

around 7:40 a.m. Several ankles on the moose were broken and part of an antler was chipped. Lakeville Police Lt. Jason Polinski said they are looking into reports of several people and a maroon Chevrolet Suburban in the area, which Polinski said is a possible suspect vehicle. Kruse said the moose is being stored until repairs can be made. “In my opinion, it looks intentional,� Kruse said. “It looks like vandalism.� The $2,500 moose was donated by the nonprofit fundraising organization Friends of the Lakeville Area Arts Center as part of last year’s Lakeville Art Festival community art project. District 194 School Board Member Bob Er-

ickson serves on the LAAC Friends committee. He said the members are likely to add security lighting to the display when the moose is repaired and replaced in its downtown location. He said he believes the damage may have been the unintended result of people climbing on the moose. “We were very saddened by the news,� Erickson said. “It was the first community art project that we displayed offsite (of the Arts Center grounds).� Many young people contributed to the project by painting portions of the moose at the Lakeville Arts Festival last year. Erickson said many people who helped paint the moose have contacted him and expressed concern.

“I know they’re feeling disappointed, but they’re just looking forward to the moose recovering from the injuries and being replaced in the plaza,� Erickson said. Kruse said he was saddened by what happened, stating that a lot of work went into creating the moose, and it represented the unity of the city. “Lakeville’s a great place to live,� Kruse said. “We’ve got wonderful amenities and great people that live here, and to have this happen to a symbol like this, it’s just sad.� Anyone with information can contact the Lakeville police at 952469-2800.

Residents: Next superintendent needs experience

9RLFH )RU +($/7+

Few attend first community forum by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

About a dozen residents attended a March 1 community forum to voice preferred qualities they desire in the next District 194 superintendent. Public feedback was also gathered at a March 6 forum, and all input will be used to seek and screen candidates. School Board members expect to hire a new superintendent in May to replace Lisa Snyder, who unexpectedly resigned in November. Her last day is June 30, when

her contract expires. Most at the forum agreed the next superintendent needs to be a proven leader, passionate about student learning, experienced in passing levies and forwarding an established vision. Residents said they also want an experienced superintendent with conflict management skills who can work well with the School Board, listen to the community and maintain the strong relationship between the district and business community. They said the ideal can-

didate would also have a track record of working well with tenured employees and have an ability to preserve programs despite budget cuts and pressures. Residents also agreed honest communication is critical and expressed concern the next superintendent be committed to the district for the long-term. Ray & Associates search consultant Craig Morris facilitated the meeting and predicted the district would have a strong pool of candidates from which to choose. He said Lakeville is

an attractive place to live with engaged and involved families. “I hope that I make the board lose sleep because they’re going to have a really tough decision about who to bring forward, not because of an inadequate pool or a lack of sufficient candidates, but because they’re going to have to make a tough choice between the best people out there,� Morris said. Lakeville City Council Member Luke Hellier attended the meeting, as did Board Chair Michelle Volk and Board Members

Terry Lind and Judy Keliher. Board members expressed gratitude for those who took the time to share their thoughts. “We’ve learned a lot of things just listening to you dialoguing about what’s important to you in your schools,� Volk said. “The one thing I can say about this board is that we do listen. So, we hear you ... and reflect on that and try to incorporate that in our decision-making.�

Power with its Contractor of the Year honor. The Woodbury-based mechanical contractor provides pipefitting and other services at Pine Bend, and was selected based on its strong safety record, innovative practices, and attention to customer focus. “Safety is one of the words we live by at Pine Bend, so selecting a contractor that makes safety its top priority was a natural choice. We are very happy to call Pioneer Power a long-time partner,� said Geoff Glasrud, vice president and manufacturing manager at Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend refinery. The Pine Bend-Pioneer Power relationship dates back to the 1960s, and Pioneer Power has been a core contractor at the Pine Bend refinery since 1999. In 2016, Pioneer Power worked nearly 328,000 man-hours in maintenance and other large projects at Pine Bend.

Republican Women on the challenges and opportunities of applying Republican principals to their respective organizations. Wulff was appointed to the Met Council by Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2009 and reappointed by Gov. Mark Dayton in 2011 and 2015. She served on the Lakeville City Council from 2003 to 2009 after seven years on the Lakeville Planning Commission. She is vice chair of the Met Council’s Environment Committee and a member of the Community Development Committee. Holberg began serving on the Dakota County Board in 2015. She has formal committee responsibilities with Transit Improvement, the Communications Center, Community Development Agency, Regional Railroad Authority and she represents the board on various committees such as the I-35W Solutions Alliance, Metro Alliance for Healthy Families, Metropolitan Emergency Service and Vermillion River Watershed. Previously, she served 16 years as Lakeville’s state representative, three years on the Lakeville City Council and seven years on its Planning Commission. “It is valuable to hear from these Republican women serving Dakota County and the Metropolitan Council, two very powerful organizations for our members,� said MRW President Margaret Flower. She noted Congressman Jason Lewis is the scheduled speaker for April and Twila Brase of Citizens’ Council for Health

Freedom will present in May. The event will be held at Mendakota Country Club, 2075 Mendakota Drive in Mendota Heights, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m., a buffet breakfast at 8:45 and the program at 9.

Area Briefs Benefit for Burnsville family is March 12 at Legion A benefit for David and Kim Niedzielski Rosc, a Lakeville graduate, will be held Sunday, March 12, from 1-5 p.m. at the Apple Valley American Legion, 14521 Granada Drive. David, an Army veteran, and Kim recently purchased a home in Burnsville for their soonto-be family of four. Shortly after the purchase, family members started to have significant, unexplained health complications. Kim, a Lakeville graduate, began to speculate it could possibly be mold and moved the family out of the home immediately. After a week of being removed from the home the family’s symptoms started to disappear. A doctor confirmed that the family’s health problems were mold-related and directed the family to move out.

Opinion Local events aim to end human trafficking by Keith Lokkesmoe SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sex trafficking is none other than the business of selling and buying women, girls and boys to be sexually used and abused by men. It is not just a problem occurring overseas or in inner cities. It is happening in every city and every suburb in the Twin Cities and many towns across Minnesota. This menace has the potential to rob our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, friends, and grandchildren of not only their innocence, but their future. When people think of sex trafficking, they usually think of the victims — the survivors. But sex trafficking would not occur if men were not purchasing sex. In order to stop the exploitation of trafficking, we must reduce the demand. What is behind this demand? It starts with what people see. Scantily clad women are used to sell products on television. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is sold to men by women selling their air-brushed bodies as symbols of value. Sitcoms and movies joke about bachelor parties with “hookers” as being normal. College football team members sexually use and abuse a woman and believe their actions are justified. One step deeper in driving demand lies the Commercial Sex Industry. This conglomeration of pornography sites, adult entertainment businesses, escort services, and strip clubs is a multi-billiondollar industry. Men and boys who’ve seen scantily clad women in Sports Illustrated or nudity in a mainstream movie now want something more. So, they begin searching their laptops and smartphones for porn sites that will give them

Guest Columnist

Keith Lokkesmoe the graphic stuff — movies, pictures, chat sites — which inflame their desire and twist their minds into thinking that women like this stuff. Finally, for many, simply watching is not enough anymore. They need an actual encounter with a woman. So, they venture into strip clubs, sex clubs, and ultimately search for “escort” websites. Hundreds of ads appear each week on these sites, and each new ad has men calling within three minutes of posting. The vast majority of women being prostituted today have been sexually abused as a child; 99.9% of them are completely controlled and abused by their pimps. They are not free women working in dignity. They are daily assaulted by men thinking that they have every right to use and abuse these women as they see fit. If we want to stop sex trafficking, we need to reduce the frequency at which men pick up the phone or click on their computer to order sex. What to do? Here are six areas we can focus on: 1. Expose pornography as a public health issue. In April 2016, Utah became the first state to declare pornography as a public health issue. All states should follow suit. Dr. Mary Anne Layden, director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program Center at the University of Pennsylvania, has researched the violent nature of today’s pornogra-

phy and concludes that the use of pornography leads to more acceptance of violence against women, creating more sexually violent fantasies to get aroused, engaging in more sexual harassment behaviors, and a greater likelihood to use physical coercion to have sex. 2. Expose strip clubs as harbors of abuse and forerunners of prostitution. We have many first-hand reports of the daily abuse occurring in these establishments. 3. Protect young people from internet and mall traffickers. Predators have developed sophisticated strategies for convincing young girls to meet with them, such as posing as a teenage boy. They also obtain nude pictures from teens and use these to blackmail and exploit. Sex traffickers also routinely work at shopping malls, coffee shops — anywhere that teenage girls frequent. We need to educate teens on these methods. 4. Change the laws to make hard core pornography illegal. There are national obscenity laws against pornography. There have been some challenges to enforcement of obscenity laws based on First Amendment concerns. However, prosecutors today, in light of the dire harm being caused by pornography and its link to trafficking, would do well to take up this issue with renewed vigor. 5. Increase the penalties for persons who buy or sell people. Minnesota is a national leader in terms of passing and funding Safe Harbor legislation, which has been expanded upon to now provide services for women or men being prostituted until age 24. We need to ensure that new legislation increases the penalties for both buyers and traffickers to

felony level status. 6. Confront the mindset that women are sex objects and men are helpless to control themselves. Rape culture asks the woman first what she did to encourage the man. It assumes that the women’s answer to sexual advances is yes — unless there is clear and convincing evidence otherwise. It absolves men of responsibility and casts them as unable to control their desires. We can do better than this. This is a dark and complex problem. But it is not unsolvable. Only if the American public remains ignorant, will the traffickers stay in business. Once the majority of Americans are made aware of this menace, that it stalks their very own daughters and sons and brothers and sisters and grandchildren, we can all rise up and begin to stop this plague in our midst. Please join us in this battle. Trafficking Justice will have its Freedom Weekend March 17-19, which will provide specific information on this problem and what people can do about it. The weekend is a collection of seven different events at multiple locations in the Twin Cities. There will be international, national, and local speakers who are working at the front lines of the battle against sex trafficking today. All events are free. Go to www.traffickingjustice.com/Freedom-Weekend.html for all of the details. Keith Lokkesmoe, of Lakeville, is the executive director of Trafficking Justice — a group in the Minneapolis area comprised of churches, faith-based organizations, and individuals who have come together to fight for freedom from “modern-day slavery” known as human trafficking.

Ban cellphone use behind the wheel of a vehicle by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There is a bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives to ban drivers from talking on a cellphone, unless it is a hands-free device. The bill should be passed to protect our safety as we drive on Minnesota roadways. Last session legislators increased the fine for a second offense of texting while driving, which is against the law. Banning talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving should be their next step – a step that 14 states have taken, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, distracted driving annually causes about 70 deaths and 350

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman serious injuries, and 1 in 4 traffic crashes are caused by distracted driving. The National Safety Council is working to ban driving while on the phone. It says that cellphone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Minnesotans for Safe Driving notes how talking on the phone and driving causes accidents. It says most studies show that drivers on cellphones are twice as likely to miss traffic signals. Their re-

action time is slower to the signals they do detect and their risk of causing a crash increases by 400 percent. Some legislators are reluctant to pass this bill, according to observers, saying it’s too soon and there’s not enough public support for it. Judging from recent comments at the state Capitol, I think support to pass the legislation could be growing. There’s work to be done to change attitudes about traffic safety. The National Safety Council said in a February report that while 83 percent of drivers surveyed said they are concerned about safety, 64 percent say they are comfortable speeding. An amazing 47 percent said they are comfortable texting either manually or through voice controls. Rep. Mark Uglem, R-Champlin, and

Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, are co-authors of the bill to ban using a phone while driving unless it’s a handsfree phone. The fine for the first offense would be $50 and $225 for the second. Hornstein was unsuccessful in passing a bill in 2011 that would have stopped drivers from using their phones. Now he says a similar bill has bipartisan support. Contact your legislators and tell them to pass this ban-the-phone-while-driving bill to stop drivers who would rather talk on their phones than look out for others’ safety.

Letters Impeach Trump

this winter. I am a senior citizen living in a onebedroom apartment with a companion dog. Both my dog and I need to get outside and walk daily. I was so happy to see that as long as we could get to one of the trails, it was clean and safe to walk on. The city is doing a great job, and it’s providing a real benefit for the citizens of Lakeville. Keep up the good work!

To the editor: I am a Republican, but I think President Donald Trump should be impeached. I am an extreme environmentalist. Some would even say I am a tree-hugger. If left unchecked, Donald Trump would set us back years of progress on the environmental front. He would also insult enough foreign people to bring back the term “ugly NANCY FELTES American.” Lakeville HARLEY HORSAGER Lakeville

Trail clearing appreciated To the editor: I am writing this letter to express my thanks to the city of Lakeville and its employees for doing such a good job of keeping the blacktop hiking and biking trails plowed

Point missed To the editor: To quote the newspaper in last week’s article, “Student reprimanded for racist graffiti – “A Lakeville South High School special needs student of color is being disciplined for scrawling racist, anti-semitic graffiti.” The article further goes on to explain that the school district is

using this opportunity for a teachable moment. A teachable moment for what? Racist behavior by whites? When the incident was perpetrated by a “person of color”? The “teachable moment” we’re all so fond of using since President Obama’s beers with the common folk years ago, missed the point. We have a special needs student who made a poor decision. Instead of helping this student understand the mistake he or she made, we line up the counselors, hold meetings, bring in former students to tell their victimization stories, and hope for some government action to make it all better. Does racism exist? It does. Do the media and government exaggerate it? Hold on to your hats, folks – they do. It makes for a good story for the media to sell, and a good reason for the government

Lewis should have some courage To the editor: Recently it was reported that our U.S. representative, Jason Lewis, would not be conducting any town hall meetings because as he intimated that, “it was not worth it.” I would remind Lewis that it is his job to listen to and connect with his constituents. To ignore us is to make a comment about how he sees us and our views. For years he had no problem sharing his views with us on the radio and television, but now it is time for him to listen to us. I would further point him to the comments of one Gabbie Giffords about the importance of town halls. Giffords was shot during a town

hall meeting in Arizona. She spoke out recently about the importance of listening and serving the residents of one’s district when she said, “I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning, my offices were open to the public. Ron Barber — who was at my side that Saturday, who was shot multiple times, then elected to Congress in my stead — held town halls. It’s what the people deserve in a representative.” Giffords went on to explain, “To the politicians who have abandoned their civic obligations, I say this: Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls.” So to Lewis, I say. Do your job. Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls. FRANK SACHS Apple Valley

Lewis’ priority is non-rail infrastructure To the editor: A recent letter writer said that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis “missed an opportunity” by not coming to the “Indivisibilty” rally, but as the Northfield News story said, the sponsoring organization’s own website said that its

primary purpose was to harass President Trump. Lewis has been our congressman for less than two months. As a retired farmer and supporter, I was able to get through to him by phone, and he told me he has a staffer working flat out with the Transportation Committee in Congress to stop the $900 million-plus federal money for Southwest Light Rail and $750 million for the Blue Line. They are held up by litigation until at least September, they do not even have rights of way, and are years from beginning construction. Meanwhile, Trump is now proposing a four-year infrastructure program of about $1 trillion and Minnesota may get $10 billion to $20 billion in time. And the GOP bills in the Transportation Committees in Minnesota call for $7 billion for non-rail Minnesota Department of Transportation spending the next two years. Dakota, Goodhue and Rice counties do not want and will not get light rail. So Lewis is in the throes of fighting for jobs and transportation and real progress for Dakota County and outstate Minnesota. That is not what his opponent wanted. But, as President Obama See LETTERS, 5A

Replacement is smoke and mirrors To the editor: U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis said he would get rid of Obamacare. Well, so far, no good. The latest proposal to “repeal and replace� the Affordable Care Act has yielded nothing but smoke and mirrors. Lewis supports Speaker Paul Ryan’s “advanceable refundable tax credits� plan which shifts more of a tax burden onto the elderly and the poor, while enriching the profits of the mighty insurance corporations. Lewis has failed in his campaign promise to dump Obamacare. But fear not, he still has a few more months remaining in his term of office to support more smoke and mirrors Obamacare replacements. BILL RANDALL Eagan

Appreciates Emmer’s time To the editor: It was encouraging to read that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-2nd District, has agreed to hold an inperson town hall meeting (Feb. 24 edition story). A group of 150-200 people at a rally Saturday, Feb. 25, at the Burnsville Library, supported such a meeting and discussed other questions. I’m looking forward to hearing about plans for the gathering. Thursday, Feb. 23, U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-6th District, St. Cloud, Brooklyn Park, Stillwater, etc.) held a town hall in Sartell covering immigration and several other topics. At a meeting at his office the next day, Emmer met with members of Results,

a Twin Cities volunteer group working to reduce hunger and poverty in the U.S. and abroad. Emmer heard concerns about retaining current levels of funding for programs to reduce hunger in unemployed, underemployed and/ or low-income households. These concerns include food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, designed to combat hunger during times of greatest need like in a recession, and to decline when the need is least, like during economic recovery. Emmer agreed with the objective of reducing poverty, and says he’ll continue working on the goal. He also heard proposals to include low-income single, childless adults in eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit, from which they are now excluded, and said he’s open to hearing more about that possibility. Challenges of poverty extend beyond inner-city limits, and many suburbs have folks trying to support a household on minimum wage. Members of Congress may not often hear from constituents whose geography says they should be living the American dream. I look forward to communicating with government officials and businesses in assisting hungry people to realize that dream. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

Fifth column: noun

ting hate for America and its working class. His dirty work is done by the likes of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and assorted ilk. Yes, George Soros for some reason wants to destroy all of that which the Founding Fathers in their Constitution has passed on to generations of Americans. Soros’s money and evil are on display each time we see “protestations� and violence whether burning and smashing property and other acts of violence. The recent University of California Berkeley, Oakland, California, and Portland, Oregon, protests where some arrests were made has been linked to Soros’ and his henchmen. Why is it that, police in attendance, these criminals commit these acts of violence without being stopped? We, the “deplorables� seem to have no rights and are completely at the mercy of anarchists. Let’s demand that the police use force to counteract the unrelenting violence perpetrated those who go on the assumption that they are privileged and entitled to commit acts of violence to the law abiding citizens without fear of serious consequences. We are a nation of laws. Why is it that millions of people have been breaking this country’s laws by illegally (invading) this country and being told by irresponsible government sources that it is OK to flaunt our laws. Any legally permitted individual in the past and future has by definition become a second-class citizen. A country that has no sovereignty is a country without laws and subject to take over by enemy entities. We, the USA, have surreptitiously enabled this type of thinking followed by implementation by past government edict. Look up the definition of fifth column, you will see all the elements of this insidious activity.

One small step for science ... Scott Highlands teacher bound for space center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Ted Siefkes will be getting an inside look at the wonders of space exploration when he travels to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston next month. As part of a team of five Minnesota educators, the Scott Highlands Middle School science teacher will be heading to the space center April 9-14 to test a student-derived experiment in a simulated microgravity environment. The team of teachers — which includes three teachers from St. Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, and one teacher from Mankato East High School — is one of 12 teams from across the country that will be participating in the experiments as part of the Microgravity University for Educators professional development program. Siefkes was offered a role on the team by longtime friend Mark Westlake, a physics teacher at St. Thomas Academy who is leading about 42 students at the high school in designing a “satellite launching experimental device,� or SLED, for the tests. The SLED experiments, Siefkes said, will be staged inside a NASA facility that also houses

actual mockup simulations for the International Space Station. While students from St. Thomas are taking the lead in designing the satellite launching device, Scott Highlands students are also involved in the process. Siefkes is working with a group of about 10 eighth-graders involved in the school’s science clubs, investigating ways to optimize design. “The idea is to share ideas, take the best ideas and the best design, and that’s what we ship to NASA,� he said. The Microgravity University for Educators process began in January with the teachers holding bi-weekly meetings and video conferencing. The project was then introduced to students, and culminates with the satellite-launching experiments in April. Siefkes’ role during the testing at Johnson Space Center will be to physically man the SLED on an air-bearing floor during the first phase of the experiment. “The air-bearing floor is kind of like an airhockey table,� he said. “My job will be to be on the SLED and to launch it.� One aim of Microgravity University for Educators is to give teachers a better understanding of NASA education resources, along with training on teaching strategies and supporting lessons for use in the classroom. It’s funded through

Involvement in fatal shooting takes toll, says Officer of the Year Burnsville department honors Yakovlev by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A year ago the Burnsville Police Department “lost our innocence,� in the words of patrol Sgt. Maksim Yakovlev. He was responsible for six of the 23 shots fired the morning of March 17, 2016, at a knife-wielding man who bolted from his car at the West Highway 13 McDonald’s and ran toward traffic. A McDonald’s employee told police the driver appeared to be “tweaking� when he pulled into the drive-thru at 2:30 a.m. He was still behaving erratically four hours later when repeated police orders to drop the large, dagger-style knife and two Taser rounds fired through a car window broken by police failed to calm the man. Yakovlev was one of three cops who shot and killed Map Kong as he fled. The 38-year-old Chaska main sustained 15 gunshot wounds. Yakovlev won’t discuss details of the incident, now the subject of a civil lawsuit after the Dakota County grand jury found last June that the officers

were legally justified in using deadly force. But Yakovlev — named last month as Burnsville’s 2016 Officer of the Year — is candid about the personal toll that lingers a year later. “It kind of goes in spurts almost,� said Yakovlev, who joined the department as a cadet in 1999, the year he graduated from Eagan High School. “Some days it feels really good to be back, some days it feels not so good. It’s definitely an adjustment. It helps to have a good support network here.� A state-certified master instructor, Yakovlev teaches police tactics and use of force at Rasmussen College in Eagan and through a private training company called Mission Critical Concepts. He and the other shooters in the Kong case, officers Taylor Jacobs and John Mott, had “microseconds,� Yakovlev said, to decide whether the fleeing man and his weapon posed a threat to public safety. There was public criticism after the incident and after the grand jury cleared the cops, Yakovlev said. Kong’s family is claiming in its suit that the officers failed to request medical assistance for Kong, who was undergoing a mental health crisis (and, according to the Dakota County attorney, had amphet-

amine and methamphetamine in his system). The cops failed to deescalate the situation and killed a man who posed no threat, the suit says. “That’s something to be expected,� Yakovlev said of the criticisms. But first things first. Yakovlev and his wife, Julie, had to explain the incident to their daughter, now 10, before school the next day. Yakovlev didn’t want her blindsided by social media and comments from schoolmates. “It was important for us to be honest with her about it and leave it up to her to ask as many questions as she needed,� said Yakovlev, whose wife delivered their second daughter 10 days later. “She did. The ‘whys’ came out, kind of the kidversion of that.� Returning to work after the incident was “awkward,� the Farmington resident said. “Your partners don’t know quite know what they can ask you or if they can talk to you because of lawyers involved in the system,� he said. “And then getting back in the squad car, you’re expected to continue to take the calls and respond to community needs as if nothing ever happened, but in your roll out of the parking lot, you’re kind of a little more on edge, (wondering) how your day is going to go.

A martial arts enthusiast since childhood, Yakovlev has a four-year degree from Metro State University and earned a master’s in police leadership from Concordia University in St. Paul. Over his 17 years in Burnsville he has worked as a community service officer, patrol officer, useof-force instructor, SWAT

team member, field training officer and investigator. He was promoted to patrol sergeant in 2012. “I like the critical-thinking piece of the job and the tactical side of things,� Yakovlev said. “Teaching is one of my passions.� He teaches defensive tactics and does scenariobased training in Rasmussen’s police program. Teaching has the added perk of exposing Yakovlev, 36, to young talent. He tries to recruit the best and brightest to apply in Burnsville. “I have quite a few of my students that are career officers in the area,�

We do need good people.� Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

One Book, One Lakeville For the ninth consecutive year, Lakeville’s community reading program, One Book, One Lakeville, is encouraging residents to read and join in events and discussions about this year’s featured book, “The Song Poet: A Memoir of My Father� by Kao Kalia Yang. “The Song Poet� is a love story – of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, and a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost. Following her award-winning book “The Latehomecomer,� Yang retells the life of her father, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by America’s Secret War. Bee Yang lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sang the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on a factory floor until, with the death of his mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnishing their grim reality so that they might shine. Kao Kalia Yang, born in Thailand’s Ban Vinai Refugee Camp, is a member of the Hmong ethnic minority. She is a graduate of Carleton College and earned master’s degree in fine arts at Columbia University. She is the co-founder of Words Wanted, an agency dedicated to helping immigrants with writing, translating and business services. Currently a Benedict Distinguished Visiting Faculty member at Carleton College, she lives in Minneapolis with her family. She will speak at the One Book main event 7 p.m. Saturday, April 29, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. Also appearing will be the Iny Asian Dance Theater. To participate, order free tickets on the Lakeville Area Arts Center website. In addition to the main event, Heritage Library will host the following related programs, which are free and

Good for you, good for the environment Farm-fresh eggs at Brand Farms by Maren Bauer SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As people become more health-conscious and documentaries portray operations in the fast food and meat industries, people want to know more about the origins of their food. On the first episode of “Portlandia,� the comedic hipster show on IFC, they take this idea to the extreme as a couple aim to ensure their restaurant meal is ethical and humane. Netflix’s “Chef ’s Table� features chefs from around the world committed to the idea of sustainable, ethical food. Locally, Aaron Brand

of Brand Farms has tapped into this trend. “The demand comes from customers wanting to know where their food comes from and how its raised,� Brand said. “I hold no secrets and customers like that.� Brand has been in the business for over a decade; he started with only 50 chickens in 2005. He has worried about the farm’s location previously, but with constant demand that led to a new house and now 2,500 chickens, it doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue. Not only does Brand provide customers with farm-fresh eggs not available in most grocery stores, he also helps out the environment and his own business.

Chips. Brand proudly carries on the multi-generational family business. “I enjoy hearing customers talk highly of me and I enjoy what I’m doing and how I do it,� he said. “It helps me stay dedicated and provide a fresh, great product that people enjoy.� The farm is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at 18605 Biscayne Ave. W. in Farmington.

As health fails, ‘Journey- man’ still preaching God’s word by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In and out of hospice twice in the last two years, Jeffrey Post describes himself as terminally ill. “They tell me I could go anytime,� said Post, who suffers from an incurable colonic disorder called Ogilvie syndrome and other maladies. A former Burnsville resident and longtime youth pastor and chaplain here, Post says God has a story to tell through him while he’s alive, awaiting death, at age 53. “I always tell people it’s my spoiler alert,� said Post, who now lives in Mesa, Arizona. “But I don’t look at it as negative. We have to live life.� Post has written a “spiritual autobiography� and is working to book a speaking tour in hotel meeting rooms, churches and anywhere else he is welcomed. He hopes to visit Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin from August to October. “I want people to be encouraged,� said Post,

who promises inspiration and humor along with his grim reality. “It’s a good journey.� Post hails from Storm Lake, Iowa, where he “came out of the woodwork� as a high school senior and “accepted Jesus as my lord and savior.� He’s been preaching ever since and said he remains a licensed but inactive Assemblies of God minister. After high school he attended North Central University, a Minneapolis Christian college, and St. Paul Bible College in St. Bonifacius. He launched a career in children’s ministry, which included puppetry, clowning and theatrical work. Widely traveled, Post

said he’s used to doing his own bookings and finding places to preach the word. “It’s very versatile, what I do,� said Post, who once was a partner in a Bloomington animation studio that served the children’s ministry market. “Now we’re looking at it in a different light because of my physical health, trying to figure out the best way to do this to be my best.� Since 1990, Post has served as family administrator for children and youth at Destiny Christian Center in Burnsville, led the church’s student ministries, been the assistant manager at a Children’s World Learning Center in Burnsville and served as chaplain, activities direc-

Jeffrey Post tor and staff manager at The Rivers, a Burnsville retirement community. In 2000, diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and myotonic dystrophy (a muscle-wast-

ing disease), as well as a double hernia surgery from which he didn’t fully heal, began a cascading series of health setbacks. In 2008 he was diagnosed with Ogilvie syndrome, a colonic pseudoobstruction that causes severe distention of the abdomen and constipation. The disease, Post said, is killing the nerves and muscles in his intestines. “It’s dying all the way throughout, and there’s nothing they can do,� said Post, who moved to Arizona in 2013 in part because the state allows medicinal marijuana, which he said helps treat his seizures and stomach problems. “There’s no surgeries.

There’s no medicines, because if they give me medicines, they’ll constipate me and I’ll die.� He has committed his journey to paper and said an autobiography, “Chasing Shadows,� is due out in the fall of 2018. He has adopted the moniker “A Journeyman.� Post said he feels God’s presence now more “than I have at any other time of my life not being in a tragedy or a trial.� For more information, visit http://wavechildren15.wixsite.com/jm1440tour.

Trinity School at River Ridge headmaster appointed president Jon Balsbaugh, the head of school at Trinity School at River Ridge in Eagan and a 20-year veteran member of the faculty, will be the next president of Trinity Schools Inc. Balsbaugh follows Dr. Kerry Koller, who has filled the role of president since the founding of Trinity School in 1981 and will step down this summer. “I am confident that Mr. Balsbaugh’s vision, leadership, and experience will carry the mission of Trinity Schools forward into the future,� said Dr. Craig Lent, chair of the Trinity Schools board of trustees, which hired Balsbaugh after an extensive search. As president, Balsbaugh will be responsible for overseeing Trinity’s three campuses—in Eagan, South Bend, Indiana, and Falls Church, Virginia — as well as relationships with two member schools, in New Jersey and Oregon. His term of office lasts for six years and is renewable. Balsbaugh and his wife, Jen, also a teacher at River Ridge, have five children: Dietrich, 19 (River Ridge ’16), Anna, 17, Emily, 15,

Nora, 12, and Charis, 8. This summer the family will move to South Bend, where the headquarters of Trinity Schools Inc. is located. Balsbaugh’s replacement will be chosen this spring, Koller said. Balsbaugh grew up in Oregon and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from The Master’s College in Santa Clarita, California. He earned an Master of Arts at the University of St. Thomas, began teaching at River Ridge in 1997, and became the head of school in 2009. During his tenure, he established a Christian arts festival that has attracted nationally known speakers and artists. He also expanded the school’s offerings, adding a sixth grade. Koller said he was delighted by the choice. “Mr. Balsbaugh is a man of tremendous intellectual depth who has masterfully developed the community of learners at River Ridge,� Koller said. “He is one of our most gifted teachers, in part because he is also a model learner. His love of truth, goodness and beauty is revealed in his vast intel-

lectual and aesthetic interests. He has the Trinity DNA.� Steve Hendrickson, a longtime math and science teacher, credits Balsbaugh with cultivating a vibrant culture of learning. “One of his notable decisions was to declare Free Learning Day,� Hendrickson said. “To the great surprise of our students, we announced the cancellation of regular classes, offering the students and faculty the chance to spend the day pursuing different interests — reading poetry together, learning Italian cooking, exploring the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, or studying special topics in mathematics. We expected it to go well, but the response from the students far exceeded our expectations.� Beth Schmitz, a math teacher and River Ridge alumna, points to Balsbaugh’s eloquence and clarity as a speaker, explaining Trinity’s vision to students, faculty and parents alike.

Beekeeping is a sticky ‘buzz’ness Lakeville students encourage cities to become pollinator-friendly by Gina Purcell and Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A group of Lakeville students is making a buzz about beekeeping in the Twin Cities. Last month, a First Lego League team from Lakeville presented its research to the Golden Valley and Lakeville city councils as community leaders are considering backyard beekeeping. Beestmode, a team comprised of Lakeville sixth-graders and a homeschooled child, researched bees as part of the realworld problem to solve for the program, which also requires them to design, build and program a robot. The student team along with Ballistic Bots — a rookie team of fifth-graders from Eastview and Oak Hills elementary schools — were among the top 10 percent of teams competing Feb. 25 in the First Lego League State Championship in St. Paul where Beestmode won first for in Quality of Research. The team finished seventh overall along with being in the top seven for Core Values. Lakeville has 12 of the 633 First Lego League teams in Minnesota. Of the 12, eight advanced to sectionals and two to state. Many of the teams that advance to state are comprised of girls and boys who have been participating in the league for three to five years, according to Lakeville’s Lego League coordinator, Maureen Carrigan. “For both Ballistic Bots and Beestmode to advance to state competition is remarkable,” Carrigan said. “For Beestmode to be in consideration for the champions award, Core Values award, and to win the Quality of Research

Beestmode team members Steve Launsbach, Leah Willingham, Mason Ertel, Matthew Osborn, Deidre Grimm and Alex Braaten along with coaches Amy Willingham and Mike Launsbach conducted their research by interviewing David Schultz, a law professor at Hamline University, along with visits to Iver Iverson’s Bee

Farm and the University of Minnesota Bee Lab. Scouring websites and viewing documentaries was also part of the research process. According to the students, the U.S. lost 40 percent of its bee colonies in 2015-16. Possible explanations for the colony collapses include pesticides, varroa mites, loss

of habitat or not enough bee-friendly flowers and plants. This is a problem, the group said. According to the students’ research, bees pollinate one-sixth of flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 agricultural plants. Bees are also responsible for pollinating more than 100 types of crops in the U.S. Without bees, approximately 85 percent of plants would not exist. Within their research, the students reviewed Golden Valley’s city code to find that bees are classified as farm animals and not allowed on residential property. Beestmode recommended Golden Valley join some of its neighboring communities and become bee-friendly in order to save the dying population. The neighboring cities of Edina, Minneapolis and St. Louis Park allow beekeeping. In Edina, bees are allowed with a permit. In Minneapolis, bees must be kept on the second story of the home or higher and the hive must be registered with the city. St. Louis Park went a different route. The use of pesticides is not allowed in eight parks within the community. The city also encourages dandelions and white clover to attract bees. The city offers classes on bees to educate its citizens of the issue. Other pollinatorfriendly cities in the metro area include Shorewood, Stillwater, Andover, Mendota Heights, Maplewood, Lake Elmo, Duluth and St. Paul. When asked what cities impressed them the most, answers vary among the students, but Minneapolis, St. Paul and St. Louis Park were named as impressive.

Minneapolis and St. Paul made the list because of the size of the cities and promimity of the houses to one another. One student was impressed by St. Louis Park which went above and beyond to make their community bee-friendly. When asked how bees are contained so they are not a nuisance to people or worse. The students informed the council there is a phone number to call in case of an incident. Volunteers, many of them beekeepers, will come and take the bees away where the bees will not harm anyone or harvest the bees and move them to a new hive. “I think its crucial we resolve this issue or it could result in a food shortage,” Golden Valley Council Member Steve Schmidgall said. “I would promote whatever we can do in Golden Valley to be a bee-friendly city.” The Ballistic Bots research project and solution involved a way to allow animal shelters and animal transportation providers to work together to balance out overcrowded and underutilized shelters. The team developed a working website (http:// petrescuenetwork.us/) to facilitate communication between shelters and transportation providers and already has 16 shelters and 11 pet transport providers signed up. Team members are Ryan Stacey, Kaden Kandler, Sophia Mikkelson, Mason Pade, Carter Pade, Kate Trcka and Gavin Phillips. More about the teams is at http://lakevilleroboticsmn.weebly.com/fllnews.html.

Sports Cougars secure first state tourney trip in 5 years South draws St. Thomas in Class AA hockey quarterfinals by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If you look strictly at section seedings, Lakeville South was one of the teams that rode a wave of upsets into the state boys hockey tournament. The Cougars don’t quite see it that way, however. To them, the state tournament is an opportunity – to raise awareness of South hockey, to build enthusiasm and to maintain a pattern of success that is emerging at several levels. “We believe we can do some damage there and we’re excited for it,” said A.J. Bucchino, who’s in his second year as the Cougars’ head coach. “Our Bantam AA and Pee Wee AA teams are also going to state. Any time a team makes it to state, the community’s excited. You’re one of the top eight teams left. It works wonders. “People are believing. They’re buying into the system and they believe we can win together.” Lakeville South defeated Lakeville North 3-1 in the Section 1AA championship game March 2 in Rochester behind two third-period goals by Bradley Golant and 25 saves by Isaiah DiLaura. The Cougars (18-9-1) are one of five teams that weren’t seeded first in their sections to qualify for the Class AA state tourney that begins Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. South plays No. 2-seeded St. Thomas Academy (234-1) in the first quarterfinal game at 11 a.m. Eden Prairie, which is in the opposite half of the bracket, is the No. 1 seed.

Lakeville South forward Bradley Golant (left) reacts after scoring one of his two thirdperiod goals in the Cougars’ 3-1 victory over Lakeville North in the Section 1AA boys hockey championship game. It’s the first time in five years Lakeville South has been to the state tournament, but the last time the Cougars were there seeds didn’t matter much. They upset No. 1-seeded Duluth East in the Class AA quarterfinals in 2012 and went on to third place. Thursday’s early wakeup call might help the Cougars, senior defenseman Josh Ess said. “Playing at night might be harder because we’d be sitting around all day,” said Ess, who will play college hockey at Wisconsin. “It’s kind of nice to get out there early and get moving.” One reason the Cougars have nine losses is they haven’t ducked strong teams. They played nonconference games against state powers such as Stillwater, Hermantown, Holy Family and Breck in addition to two games against South Suburban Conference champion Prior Lake and three against Lakeville North, the top seed in Section 1AA. They lost twice

to Prior Lake in overtime and had one overtime loss against North during the regular season. But along the way, Bucchino noticed a shift in the locker room’s mood. “Guys were holding each other accountable, taking responsibility. The energy was different in the room and on the ice,” the coach said. “I just felt everybody was trusting each other to do their job, and it seemed to work.” On the ice, “we’ve been getting a lot of shots on net and crashing the net,” said senior forward William Moore. The Cougars had 34 shots on goal against Lakeville North, breaking a 1-1 tie when Golant, a senior forward, scored twice in the first 5 minutes, 22 seconds of the third period. Jake Oelrich scored in the first minute of the second period to give South a 1-0 lead. Chaz Dufon tied the game for Lakeville North (20-6-2) in the second period but the Panthers,

the 2015 state Class AA champions, couldn’t hold off South in the third. “We’ve been waiting for that moment our whole lives,” Moore said. “We just wanted it, and it finally came true.” The Cougars want to do more than make an

we have a good work ethic,” he said. “And we have some skill mixed in there. All around, we’re pretty solid.” The Lakeville South-St. Thomas Academy winner plays Moorhead or HillMurray in the Class AA semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday. For the Cougars to get there, they will have to be on their game from the start Thursday morning – and they’ll have to shut out distractions, at least to the extent that is possible at the state tournament. “We’ve talked about focusing on the task at hand – why we’re here, what got us here, what is our team goal. Let’s not lose track that it’s about the hockey,” Bucchino said. “We need a good start. If we have a great first five minutes and we’re physical and guys are getting a lot of shots, you’ll hear a lot of cheering on our bench. It carries over the next shift, and the next.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Wade Sullivan closed his wrestling career with a fourth consecutive topthree finish at the state Class 3A tournament. Sullivan, a Lakeville North senior, reached the state championship match for the third time in four years. Prior Lake junior Kenny O’Neil decisioned Sullivan 6-4 in the 160-pound final Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. The same two wrestlers also dueled for the Section 2 individual championship, with O’Neil winning 9-3. It was the second consecutive state runner-up medal for Sullivan, who was second at 145 last year. He took third at 126 in 2015 and was state champion at 113 in 2014. It’s also probably Sullivan’s last wrestling match. He was an All-State running back for the Lakeville North football team and has signed to play at Minnesota-Duluth. Sullivan was 31-5 this season and 145-21 over the last four years. He pinned Cyrus Scott of Rochester Mayo in the first period of his opening-round match at state. In the quarterfinals, Sullivan defeated Jack Lien of Moorhead by technical fall in the third period. An 8-1 victory over Calvin Germinaro-Nahring of Anoka sent Sullivan to the championship match. The title match was scoreless after one period. O’Neil (41-2) started

appearance at state. After looking at video of St. Thomas Academy games, they think they match up well against the Cadets. “They’re a fast team. They seem to get up and down the ice pretty quick,” Bucchino said. “They have skilled players, so they like to get the puck to the net as fast as possible. We feel we have the same speed, with a strong goalie and a strong blue line. If our forwards are disciplined without the puck, we have a good chance to win the game.” Players such as Ess, Sam Malinski and Jack Olsen give the Cougars strength on defense. They also are three of the team’s top five scorers. And, “our forwards are producing across the board. All three lines are on the scoresheet almost every game,” Bucchino said. Ess said he believes the Cougars have the attributes of a team that can win games in the state tournament. “We’re pretty physical, we get pucks on net and

O’Neil retained the lead the rest of the match. Also competing for North at the state tourney was junior Bryce Benhart (26-7), who went 2-2 at 285 pounds.

Lakeville South Three Lakeville South wrestlers competed at state last week – senior Brady Bastyr (138), ninthgrader Willie Bastyr (145) and sophomore Grant Hendren (152). Brady Bastyr (29-10),

wrestling at state for the third consecutive year, won one of his three matches. The victory was 4-1 over Charlie DesMarais of Buffalo in the first round of wrestlebacks. He lost 1-0 to Collin Olevson of Chaska-Chanhassen in the next wrestleback round. Willie Bastyr (21-7) wrestled one match, a 6-0 loss to Apple Valley’s Nate Larson. The same was true for Hendren (194), who lost 5-4 to Woodbury’s Gavin Bradley in the first round at 152, then was eliminated from wrestlebacks when Bradley lost

in the quarterfinals.

Farmington Farmington had a wrestler in the Class 3A individual finals for the fifth consecutive year as sophomore Trayton Anderson battled for the title at 113 pounds. Anderson, making his second consecutive appearance at state, won his first three matches before losing to Aaron Cashman of Shakopee 12-2 in the final. Cashman (39-1) was one of five Shakopee wrestlers to win individual championships. Anderson finished 30-7.

Lakeville South senior Brady Bastyr tangles with Mason Hall of St. Francis in a firstround match at 138 pounds.

Lakeville North’s Class 3A, Section 1 girls basketball championship game against Rochester Mayo is a rematch of teams that met in a holiday tournament in late December. The Panthers rolled to a 59-39 victory at the U.S. Bank Rotary Classic, but North coach Shelly Clemons said people shouldn’t read too much into that result when the teams meet again at 8 p.m. Thursday at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. “They were missing their point guard (Liv Korngable) in that game,” Clemons said. “She was out with an ACL injury, and she’s their best player. They’re a different team now.” It could be argued that the Panthers are, too. They at least appear to be a deeper team after ninthgrade guard Lauren Jensen came off the bench to score 25 points in a 69-49 victory over Farmington in the Section 1 semifinals Saturday. It was the 20th consecutive victory for North, which takes a 26-2 record into the section championship game. “It’s a bigger court (at Mayo Civic Center), so we’ll have to go at least eight deep,” Clemons said. “I like the versatility we’ve developed. Our starting five can play half-court man-to-man defense and shut other teams down, and we can bring some quickness off the bench if we want to

go full-court.” Jensen averaged 6.8 points during the regular season but has scored 39 in the Panthers’ first two playoff games. The Panthers start three seniors and two juniors, so Jensen has to grab her opportunities whenever they arise. “Lauren is very talented and probably will be a featured player for us the next three years,” Clemons said. Junior forward Taylor Brown had 14 points and senior guard Temi Carda 10 in the victory over Farmington. Molly Mogensen had 14 points and Ellie Clayton 11 for Farmington, which finished 13-15. The Tigers, seeded fifth in the section, topped fourthseeded Owatonna 54-48 on the road in the quarterfinal round March 1. Rochester Mayo trailed by as many as nine points in the first half before roaring back to beat Lakeville South 56-32 in the other Section 1 semifinal Saturday. Lakeville South (11-17) defeated third-seeded New Prague 73-60 in the first round as senior guard Katie Guentzel scored 25 points. If South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville North defeats Rochester Mayo, a topthree seed in the state Class 4A tournament appears likely. Two undefeated teams, Hopkins and Elk River, remain in the playoffs, but they’re the only teams in the enrollment class with fewer losses than North. The Class 4A quarterfinals will be Tuesday, March 14, at Target Center. See HOOPS, 13A

Trepanier earns 2nd-, 3rd-place medals at state swim South 11th in Class AA team competition by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lake Conference teams, as expected, dominated the state Class AA boys swimming and diving meet as Minnetonka and Eden Prairie took the top two places in the team competition. But schools from the South Suburban Conference had their moments. Three SSC schools – Shakopee (fifth), Eagan (sixth) and Prior Lake (ninth) – finished in the top 10 at last week’s state meet at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Two more, Lakeville South and Eastview, finished just outside the top 10, placing 11th and 12th. Lakeville North placed 15th. Lakeville North sophomore Andrew Trepanier, who finished second in two events at last year’s state meet, added secondand third-place medals this year. Trepanier swam an automatic All-America HOOPS, from 12A

Rosemount Rosemount played its best game of the season in the middle of its most trying time of the season. The Irish’s 61-58 victory over Apple Valley in the Class 4A, Section 3 girls basketball semifinals Saturday not only put them within one game of the state tournament, it showed that athletes can go a long way on a little inspiration. Or, in this case, a lot of inspiration. The Irish were

Rosemount scored 12 points at the state meet, all by senior diver Stephen Satnik, who placed seventh with 374.35 points. Alex Thompson finished 16th in the 100 freestyle for Burnsville, which scored one team points.

playing for head coach Chris Orr, who almost died in the Rosemount High School gym last Friday after suffering a heart attack. He collapsed during a physical education class. Quick action by fellow Rosemount PE teacher Tracy Cassano, who performed cardio pulmonary resuscitation, and the presence of a defibrillator nearby are credited with saving Orr’s life. A stent was installed to open a blocked artery and Orr went home Saturday. He did not attend

the game against Apple Valley, but had a surprise for the players when it was over. “On the bus going home after the game we said, ‘Hey, let’s go in the (Rosemount) gym and take a photo we can give to coach Orr,’ � said Kirstee Rotty, who served as acting head coach for the Apple Valley game. “We all thought that would be a good idea and when we went in he was in the middle of the gym, waiting for us. “It was a very emotion-

al moment.� Orr, who is in his fifth year as Rosemount head coach, hopes to attend the Section 3 championship game against Eastview at 7 p.m. Thursday at Hamline University. What coaching duties he would have, if any, has not been decided. Rotty likely will continue as acting head coach. The Irish (17-11), who put Orr’s name on the backs of their shoes, closed the Apple Valley game on a 16-7 run and scored the last seven points to defeat an Eagles

team that had beaten then twice during South Suburban Conference play in the regular season. “The players were inspired, of course. They wanted to win for coach Orr,� said Rotty, whom Orr asked to speak on the team’s behalf. “And I think they really stepped up on the defensive end. Apple Valley has some talented scorers and for the most part we were able to contain them.� Senior guard Maddy Olson had a game-high 22 points for the third-seeded

Irish. Senior forward Nicole Elias scored 19 and senior forward Katie Essen added 11. Junior forward Brynne Rolland scored 18 points for Apple Valley (21-7), which was ranked ninth in Class 4A. Senior guards Lyndsey Robson and Erin Baxter added 14 and 12 points. The victory puts Rosemount in the section championship game against Eastview for the third consecutive year.

gained a national audience after it was posted on the Internet and republished by the popular education blog Intellectual Takeout. “For more than 35 years, Trinity Schools have been faithful to the call of the Lord to provide students with an education rooted in the pursuit of truth, the practice of goodness and the creation of beauty,� Balsbaugh said. “Dr. Koller has provided visionary and courageous leadership that has kept us grounded in our mission. It is at once a great honor and a humbling prospect to follow him into the office of president. I am looking forward to getting to know the faculty, staff, students and alumni of each of our campuses better and to working closely with our Trinity member schools. The foundation laid by the People of Praise community during the founding of Trinity Schools, Dr. Koller’s steady leadership, our

dedicated and passionate faculty and, most importantly, a sense of calling from the Lord to engage in this work give me great confidence for the future of Trinity Schools.� Trinity School at River Ridge is currently enrolling in grades 6-12 for the 2017-18 school year. An open house for prospective families is scheduled for March 23.

PLAN, from 1A and currently utilizes $577,936 of it, and he said the district has issued $135.2 million in debt and has a debt limit of $993 million. He proposed internally developing two-year budgets, but submitting to the state a one-year plan as required, while also maintaining the five-year outlook to better prepare and plan to address challenges. School Board members agreed with longterm planning suggestions and prioritized staff requests. Easily topping their priority list was middle school redesign. Other requests they ranked high were adding music, band and choir and providing more family and

consumer science classes. Board members also reviewed enrollment projections that showed elementary school crowding and discussed the estimated $32 million cost of building a new elementary school, not including the cost of land. They reviewed the wish-list of the LongTerm Facilities Task Force that included items like adding artificial turf at Lakeville South High School and replacing the artificial turf at Lakeville North High School ($2 million), building a third swimming pool and a diving well ($6 million-$10 million) and increasing school security ($8 million). Board members decried the increasing expense of playground re-

placements, estimated at $250,000 per site, and recalled when playgrounds cost about $60,000 and were helped by PTO fundraising. They addressed potential options to mitigate capacity problems, possibly by adding portables or building expansions, and considered options for relocating Community Education from its downtown Lakeville location by August when the lease expires. Board Chair Michelle Volk said she would like adult basic education to be located in the Minnesota School of Business building and several board members agreed. The board also generally agreed to Baumann’s suggestion a permanent

advisory group be established that continually reviews long-term planning. Discussed multiple times was the possibility of issuing a lease levy, which does not require voter approval, and several board members expressed interest in the potential of leasing more space at the practically abandoned Minnesota School of Business building. The school is struggling financially and no longer offers classes in the building. In a joint program with the Prior LakeSavage School District, District 194 already leases some space in the building for its Minnesota Center for Advanced Professional Studies

program, which gives juniors and seniors realworld training in either business or health care. Board members also expressed a desire to have their own meeting space again, and Baumann proposed establishing it at the Minnesota School of Business where the meeting was held. The School Board has for three years held its regular meetings at Lakeville City Hall, in part to save the expense of purchasing upgraded technology to broadcast its meetings. The board has held its work sessions at the Crystal Lake Education Center, but Baumann suggested revamping some of that space for classrooms and restrooms to accommodate

other programs. Four options for relocating Community Education and other district areas were discussed but board members wanted more time to review the materials and contemplate options. Baumann said he will need time to negotiate expanding space it leases with the Minnesota School of Business, and Volk said the board would provide direction regarding a preferred space and moving option at its 6 p.m. March 21 work session. At the board’s request, Baumann will see if they can again meet at the Minnesota School of Business.

PROJECT, from 1A

TERM, from 1A

city’s historic downtown, where sidewalks will undergo complete replacement, new tree grates and trees are proposed to be planted, acorn lighting fixtures will be uniform with safety lighting at key intersections and movable planters will help beautify downtown. On the project’s north end, City Hall will feature a brick electronic message sign at the northwest corner of 202nd Street and County Road 50 emblazoned with the Lakeville logo. The sign is intended to better identify Lakeville City Hall and communicate important community events. Across from City Hall on County Road 50, a large lighted brick gateway sign will be located to welcome visitors toward Lakeville’s historic business district. The project is the result of years of discussions between the city, residents and representatives of the Downtown Lakeville Business Association. Project consultant and engineer Monica Heil said the DLBA subcommittee wants to move forward with the project as proposed but hold several meetings to discuss ongoing design options prior to bidding the project. “Over the next couple of months, we’ll be working with members of the DLBA subcommittee to further refine the specific improvements that will be located downtown prior to bidding the project for construction,� Heil said. “That would include some discussions regarding the signage improvements.� She said more discussions will occur with the City Council prior to letting it out for bid. Under the plan, a northbound left-turn lane is proposed at 210th Street West, and two gateway signs made of brick and metal railing are proposed on Holyoke Avenue at the

course, Lakeville could be in the top 10 of most populated cities in the state within five years. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to ensure that the leadership of our city has some consistency and has an opportunity to fulfill the vision that we want to see in our city,� Anderson said. Council Member Colleen LaBeau agreed. She said councils have discussed the issue three times in the past seven years. She said the change allows the mayor to focus more on the needs of the city and its population of over 60,0000 rather than running an election campaign every two years. Council Member Luke Hellier said the term change also puts Lakeville in line with other cities of similar size, including Burnsville and Eagan. “I’ve heard from a lot of people on both sides of the issue and their concerns about the mayor term,� Hellier said. “But I think a four-year term for the mayor helps us really start thinking long-term as a city and could help do that so we have some stability in that.� In an interview, Hellier said some people said they liked the ability to turn over the mayor after two years if they were not happy with what they were doing. The 2018 election could bring major change to Lakeville leadership, as the mayor’s seat will be on the ballot and the council seats of LaBeau and Council Member Bart Davis; all three are the most senior members of the City Council.

Gateway signs will identify and feature downtown Lakeville as part of the area’s street and sidewalk improvement project to start after Pan-O-Prog July. The road work and downtown improvements are expected to be completed this fall. southwest corner of 207th Street and at the northeast corner of 210th Street to also identify the business core area. Two simple, reflective wayfinding signs are proposed to be located on County Road 70. Costs for downtown sidewalk improvements will be borne by taxpayer funds and assessments to business properties only. Some business properties and taxpayer-owned properties are expected to pay tens of thousands in assessments, according to the feasibility study. Taxpayer-owned properties include Lakeville City Hall, downtown open space, the Lakeville Area Arts Center, senior housing and McGuire Middle School. Together, the study found public properties are estimated to be assessed over $167,400 for the improvements. Per city policy, Lakev-

ille is funding 60 percent of the project. Combined with other taxpayer-funded sources, over $1.9 million of the project will be funded using public dollars. Metro Equity, the downtown’s largest private business property owner and one of the project’s major cheerleaders, is estimated to be assessed a total of $117,276 for the project costs, according to the feasibility report. Mark Hotzler, Metro Equity’s founder, is also expected to be assessed about $8,051 for Dairy Delite, a small walk-up diner with outdoor seating that was renovated into a 1950s style by former owner Paul Krause, a former Dakota County commissioner and Minnesota Vikings football player who is in the Hall of Fame. At the request of cost-

conscious residential property owners at the north of Holyoke Avenue, decorative sidewalk details will not extend to their properties, but sunken or heaving walks will be spot replaced. A proposal to add sidewalk to the east side of Holyoke Avenue in the residential portion of the street was also rejected by the majority of homeowners and will not be part of the project. Single-family residences north of 210th Street are estimated to be assessed $1,948 and singlefamily residences south of 210th Street are to be assessed about $1,053, according to the feasibility study. Bids are expected to be received by June and an assessment hearing is set for July 17, when the City Council is expected to award a construction

contract. Council Member Colleen LaBeau said several business owners who lease or own properties downtown have cited concerns regarding initial and ongoing costs of the amenities proposed. City Administrator Justin Miller said the council’s action gave the city authorization to complete the design on the project that will help better identify exact costs. He said the community will have more opportunity for input. “If costs do come in considerably higher than what we were expecting, there will be options on how we might be able to bring those costs back down,� Miller said.

A determined investigative reporter and an inept office worker round out the cast. Garrick Dietze, who will direct “Elvis Has Left the Building,� has 14 years experience as a director, actor and producer with various Twin Cities theater companies including Chameleon Theatre Circle and Minneapolis Musical Theatre. “This play is fun, great escapism with lots of physical comedy, comedic zingers and, of course, Elvis’ iconic music,� Dietze said.
