For six days the Lakeville South High School marching band experienced history, culture, excitement and a performance of a lifetime. Approximately 135 students made their way to Dublin, Ireland, to perform in one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parades. The band was one of only 11 selected from around the world to perform for more than 100,000 people and is the first marching band from Minnesota to participate. “I’ve seen things that are absolutely breathtaking, and I’ve met people that are so warmhearted and nice. There are just welcoming people here,� drum major Cat Skindelien said. The high school musicians found out about the trip over a year ago and since then they’ve spent countless hours practicing and planning for what Skindelien said was the trip of a life-

time. Teachers, faculty and families all came together to plan out details of trip so each student could get the most out of the adventurous days. Planning led to more than 200 Minnesotans making the trip to either perform, chaperone or support the marching band, according to director Chad Bieniek. “We’ve put a lot of time and effort into our performances. It was great to see the amount of pride people had when practicing and while preparing for these big events,� drum major Danny David said. The marching band usually performs in six to eight parades every summer in Minnesota but were excited to perform in new locations. Students not only performed in Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Festival Parade but performed on castle grounds as well as in a snowstorm for the first time. “I really loved the energy and how welcoming everyone was,� drum major Austin Albert said.

He added he enjoyed the feeling of performing in an open atmosphere as opposed to the cities where it can still feel welcoming but crowded with the all of the people and buildings. “Being in the streets in any of the cities we’ve been to it feels really homey, which is nice compared to giant skyscrapers that tower over you. It was a great chance to see everyone together,� Albert said. The time the marching band has spent together perfecting their pieces and performance has led them to become more than random students who simply play together. Skindelien said she has grown close with the other students in the band and has memories she will share for years to come. “My band isn’t just the people I go to school with. My band is my family. It’s people I’ve seen for the past four years and people I’ve grown up with. Making music brings people See BAND, 2A

Township election results Results include a close race in Eureka that knocked out an incumbent by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Township elections were held March 13 in Dakota County with one local incumbent losing, while several others were reelected. Articles from a previous edition spotlighted the candidates from Eureka and Castle Rock townships. Here is a closer look at the election results from those two townships.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Lakeville City Council members approved increasing the salaries for the mayor and council members, effective Jan. 1, 2019, during their March 19 meeting. The amendment was passed 3-2 and was modified to remove the item that would increase the council members’ salaries each year. It was also decided that the mayor’s salary would increase to $1,250 per month as opposed to the recommended $1,347. The council members’ monthly salary will increase to $833 as opposed to the recommended $950. “I think with the size of our city we stay up to date in terms of reasonable and fair compensations for services performed,� Mayor Doug Anderson said. The meeting sparked discussion among residents of Lakeville and among council members. Questions regarding why the mayor’s salary is more than council members, the $25 payment for each committee and

The closest local township election this year was between Mark Ceminsky and Carrie Jennings, the sole incumbent for Eureka Township. Ceminsky received 185 votes (53.6 percent) for Supervisor Seat 4, while Jennings received 160 votes (46.4 percent). Ceminsky has lived in the Eureka Township area for the past 10 years, and was previously on the township’s board for one three-year term and on the Planning Commission for one year. One of Ceminsky’s main focuses is seeing the citizens of Eureka treated with respect. He said he wants to change how people are treated when they come to township meetings. By demonstrating respect and equal treatment, Ceminsky said he hopes to increase citizen involvement. “Nobody’s going to agree 100 percent, but I want the citizens to know that if they have concerns, they can discuss them. We should all be able to sit down and talk and work out issues. That’s why See RESULTS, 14A

According to Bieniek, band is not a common subject students study in Ireland and the Lakeville South students were able to feel the enthusiasm the crowd was giving them during each of their performances. “When I saw how they felt in the parade while they had hundreds of thousands of people all clapping along while they performed, it was extremely rewarding and fun to see it on their faces,� Bieniek said.

District, charter school explore merger County frees Proposed bill referred to education committee up some landfill money for cities by Tad Johnson

Burnsville seeks economicdevelopment funds

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

development to parks and greenway improvements. Landfills carry environmental restrictions “that won’t go away� once the waste dumping stops, Workman said. “There are things you cannot develop on top of landfills,� Burnsville City Manager Heather Johnston said. “That makes the development or redevelopment a lot more expensive.� And that means “we may never develop properly� compared with other cities, Gustafson said. With 460 acres, Burnsville has more landfill space than any city in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, according to Workman. The acres are divided between the active Burnsville Sanitary Landfill west of Interstate 35W and north of Highway 13, the inactive Freeway Landfill west of I-35W and the inactive Freeway Dump east of the freeway. Inver Grove Heights is home to the Pine Bend Landfill. Rosemount has the smaller SKB Rosemount landfill. In addition to economic development, Burnsville is applying for funding for four other projects: completion of the Lake Marion Greenway within city limits (up to $1 million), an analysis of a preferred greenway segment within the city ($50,000), assistance for businesses to build recycling enclosures ($250,000), and right-ofway purchase for Cliff Road/I-35W realignment west of the freeway. But under a full complement of requests from eligible cities, Burnsville would be eligible for only $1.2 million in grants, Workman said. If requests exceed the amount available, eligibility is apportioned based on the amount of waste each city receives in its landfills, she said. Cities with landfills face more hardship than just stifled development opportunities and foregone tax base, according to the county. Truck traffic, costlier road repairs, odor and pollution and litter are among them. Under state law, onefourth of the host fees cities collect must be used to mitigate the adverse effects and risks landfills pose. The rest can be used for any general fund purpose. In Burnsville, a total of $327,020 in host fees goes annually to repayment of the construction debt on the city-owned Ames Center.

Burnsville and select other Dakota County cities are competing for grants under a new county program to help them ease the burden of hosting landfills. The program, approved last month by the County Board, is making $3 million available to cities through a grant competition. The money comes from the county’s Environmental Legacy Fund, which collects about $7 million annually in host fees paid by landfill operators. Cities with landfills also collect the state-mandated fees — in Burnsville’s case, $797,372 last year. But two county commissioners who represent cities with vast landfill acreage say the cities aren’t adequately compensated by their host fees. Liz Workman, Burnsville, and Joe Atkins, Inver Grove Heights, pushed for the grant program, which is being piloted this year. Response has been robust. The county has received applications for 19 landfill-related projects from eligible cities: Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount, South St. Paul and Coates, according to Workman. The application deadline was March 16. The seven County Board members will pick the winning projects in April, Workman said. In Burnsville’s case, a winning bid could jumpstart the city’s economicdevelopment efforts. The city is poised to more aggressively court development and redevelopment through policies passed in January — one that offers businesses grants for building teardowns and renovations and one that allows the city to buy and assemble parcels of land for sale to developers. But neither is funded in the city’s Economic Development Authority levy, and the current City Council appears unlikely to approve a “huge increase� in the levy or sell bonds for the programs, EDA President and Council Member Dan Gustafson said. So Burnsville is seeking $1.2 million from the county to launch the programs. A council majority named economic development as its top priority for the grant funds at a March 13 work session. Workman said she pushed to include economic development in the mostly environmental criteria for the landfill grants.

Jail inmate charged with assault A Brooklyn Center man who allegedly attacked an officer at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings was charged March 6 with fourth-degree assault of a peace officer, a felony. Aziz Holmes, 23, was in jail for allegedly stealing a truck in Hastings after having been released from the jail on Jan. 28. He led officers on a 17.5mile chase, according to a criminal complaint. The alleged assault occurred on March 3, when a correctional officer escorted Holmes back to his cell after a shower. Holmes turned around and punched the officer three to four times in the face with a closed fist, a complaint said. The officer, who was able to take Holmes down

and restrain him, suffered a facial laceration and swelling. “The women and men who work for the Dakota County sheriff are here to do a job and are not punching bags for those behind bars,� Sheriff Tim Leslie said in a March 15 news release. Holmes allegedly stole the truck at around 4 a.m. Jan. 28 after breaking into the driver’s side window and using a spare key left in the truck to start it. He allegedly led police on a chase up Highway 61 that ended after a St. Paul officer “struck the vehicle’s tires.� Holmes was charged with theft of a motor vehicle and fleeing a peace officer. — John Gessner

As the Hopkins School District aims to expand its language immersion program, district leaders have turned to a charter school within its boundaries to explore an unprecedented merger in Minnesota. On March 7, district administrators explained the idea to turn the 10-yearold International Spanish Language Academy into a district elementary school, saying it would help the 321-student charter school and the district enhance their missions. The presentation was the second to the ISLA School Board and the first to parents of students at the school at 5959 Shady Oak Road, Minnetonka. Hopkins administrators said no charter school in Minnesota has ever been merged into a public school district. Hopkins administrators said state law would most likely have to be changed to allow a merger. John Toop, director of business services for Hopkins, said the district has drafted legislation that would allow a charter school to merge with a district (House File 3305). The bill would allow for the boards of a school dis-

trict and charter school to convert an existing charter school to a school district program by mutually adopting a resolution to authorize the combination with at least eight months prior to a proposed merger. The bill makes allowances for how finances, supplies, materials and building assets would be combined. A jointly-approved resolution could address the future employment of charter school staff, according to the bill. ISLA Executive Director Jeremy Perrin said the main topics of concern were how the charter school would maintain its mission, the “us� and the closeness in the community; how much autonomy the school would lose; what class size and enrollment targets for the school would be; what would happen to its curriculum and delivery of instruction; how it would affect the academy’s current high academic achievement and how it would change community involvement. Currently, ISLA receives nearly all of its operating revenue from the state per-pupil funding amount of $6,188 for 2018. In 2014, ISLA received a little more than

$8,000 in revenue per student (average daily member), while Hopkins received about $12,000 per ADM, according to the charter school’s annual report. Typically, charter schools run lean budgets and staff members and teachers handle a variety of tasks that might have been covered by different employees under a district school. The Hopkins and ISLA process may be watched closely by Minnesota’s 164 charter schools on record with the Department of Education. While some charters could be more suitable to be a merger with a district, others may not. There is only one charter school in the Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune coverage area — FIT Academy in Apple Valley. FIT Academy opened for its first academic year in fall 2017. While the Hopkins district is no longer an authorizer of ISLA, it provides bus transportation and lunch meal service to the charter school. State law already provides for two-year collaboration agreements between a district and a charter within its borders, even if

the district is not an authorizer of the charter. Such agreements allow collaboration with facilities, transportation, training, student achievement, assessments, mutual performance standards, and other areas. Nothing in these agreements may impact the authority or autonomy of charter schools, according to state law. Nora Tycast, ISLA board chair, said a task force will assemble the feedback and answer as many questions as possible. She stressed that no decisions have been made by either board. A second listening session will be 6:30 p.m., April 9, at ISLA. Bill authors of H.F. 3305 are DFLers Cheryl Youakim, Hopkins; Laurie Pryor and Jon Applebaum, both of Minnetonka; Paul Rosenthal, Edina; Mike Freiberg, Golden Valley, and one Republican Dario Anselmo, Edina. A companion bill in the Senate, S.F. 3370, is authored by Paul T. Anderson, R-Plymouth, and Steve A. Cwodzinski, DFL-Eden Prairie.

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon celebrates Hard work continues to connect military members with the community by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In 2005, the son of Farmington resident Annette Kuyper volunteered her to serve as the family readiness leader for the Rosemount-based Red Bulls 34th Infantry Division the night before its deployment in the Iraq War. Little did Kuyper know at the time, that passive volunteer effort started a journey that led her to create the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network in Minnesota. On Thursday, March 15, the Apple Valley network celebrated its sixth anniversary with Kuyper as a guest speaker. During her talk to former and current military members and their families at the Apple Valley American Legion, Kuyper related that while there has been great work that’s been done in the past, there is much more that needs to be done in the future. When Kuyper’s 19-yearold son was deployed to Iraq for what would become the longest deployment by a U.S. Guard unit at the time (22 months), she saw a lack of support for the families left behind. She said she saw no system of support, as many spouses didn’t know how to carry on their daily lives with their husbands and wives overseas. Kuyper, who said she missed her son desperately, started talking with leaders in the National Guard and the University of Minnesota to see what could be done to help service members and their families during a deployment cycle. When her son came home for a two-week leave in December 2006, Kuyper was happy to have him home, but the feeling didn’t last long as it was announced Jan. 18, 2007, that the Red Bulls’ deployment would be extended. A Target executive at the time, Kuyper put her experience in putting together detailed plans into action by working with the Blue Star Mothers to create a support system for those deployed and their families, mostly focused on reintegration back into civilian society after a military deployment. She started the effort by creating a network in Farmington called the Warrior to Citizen, which eventually was changed into the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network as its reach expanded.

In 2008, the first network in Minnesota was established in Farmington in large part due to Kuyper’s work. It aimed to connect veterans and their families to resources to help with reintegration and assist with household chores and community connections while a family member was deployed. Kuyper was eventually hired to coordinate the establishment of networks throughout Minnesota as the director of military outreach for the Minnesota National Guard. Not long after, she helped establish networks in Apple Valley, Rosemount and beyond. Seven years ago, Kuyper contacted Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and City Manager Tom Lawell about creating a network in Apple Valley. Both pledged their support to the project along with that of veteran and City Council Member Tom Goodwin. Current network president Paul Chellsen was an early board member and

served as vice president to president Bruce Folken when it first started. Other charter members were Lawell, Bill Tschohl and Rich Davey. Kuyper stressed the need to make sure that more service members, veterans and their families don’t ever feel alone, and that the communities honor and recognize their service. She credited the Apple Valley network for doing great work, especially with the amazing dinner. The free dinner, which was attended by 130 people, was organized by American Legion office manager Joan Guse and general manager Linsey Green, while staffing for the event was provided by Yellow Ribbon members and Scouts from Troop 293. Dessert was prepared by the Women’s Auxiliary, Unit 1776. Other community partners were acknowledged during the dinner as helping establish and grow the network. Among those are the Legion, Apple Valley Ro-

tary, Bogart’s Entertainment Center, Von Hanson’s Meats and the Apple Valley Police Department. Hamann-Roland said the organizations working together allows for so much more to be accomplished to help veterans. She said city residents have a history of helping each other, calling this the “City of Motherly Love.� Current network committee members are Davey, Tschohl, Lawell, vice president Jay Peterson, secretary-treasurer Glenn Sonnee, Joel Hohenstein, Dick Geiger, Curt Martinson, Tom Werner, Josh Gerving and Bill Swanstrom. The next free Military Appreciation Dinner will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19, at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. Early registration is encouraged with cutoff the day before the event. Register at: 952-9235014 or yellowribbonav@ gmail.com. The dinner is open to all active military, veterans and their immediate family.

Opinion Time is right to refocus on affordable housing Chances are you’ve seen it where you live or work. Homes are being built again, jobs are plentiful and new apartments are sprouting faster than many Minnesotans can remember. The housing crisis and Great Recession are assuredly over. But prosperity has helped expose and exacerbate the shortage of affordable housing. To many, including Gov. Mark Dayton, the mismatch between housing costs and too many working families’ ability to afford them is the state economy’s new crisis. The mismatch persists in the Twin Cities region and outside it, where monthly job gains sometimes exceed the metro area’s. Last December, Dayton formed the Governor’s Task Force on Housing to find solutions to the problem of more than one in four households — nearly 550,000 — spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The 30 percent figure is a widely accepted benchmark of affordability. As the task force works toward a July report, the ECM Editorial Board will publish a series examining the contours of the problem, its specific impacts on working people and senior citizens and potential remedies — which must include public incentives to bring private and nonprofit builders and housing providers into the picture. Twenty-seven percent of households are burdened by housing costs of more than 30 percent, meaning they must

ECM Editorial This is the first in a series of editorials by the ECM Editorial Board, examining affordable housing issues in Minnesota and potential solutions. skimp on other needs like food, medicine and transportation, according to the March 2017 “State of the State’s Housing” report by the Minnesota Housing Partnership, an affordable housing advocate. The number of cost-burdened households rose by 58 percent from 2000 to 2016, reports Minnesota Housing, the state’s housing finance agency. Among Minnesota’s 590,000 renter households, nearly half experience housing cost burden and nearly a quarter experience “severe” burden, with more than half of income spent on rent, MHP reports. Forty-three percent of white renter households suffered cost burden, compared with 53 percent of renters of color. “While many housing trends vary by region, renter housing cost burden is an issue in almost every county in Minnesota,” MHP reports. Incomes have not kept pace with rising housing costs. Statewide, median monthly rents rose from $815 in 2000 to $912 in 2016, while median annual incomes fell 4 percent from $38,250 to $36,766, Minnesota

Housing reports. The median renter income of $32,600 in 2015 provided $815 to spend affordably on housing compared with the fair-market rent of $924 for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. There is a housing shortage. Rental vacancy rates are 3.8 percent in the Twin Cities metro and 4.3 in greater Minnesota, both below the 5 percent that reflects a stable market. Among Minnesota’s 1.5 million homeowner households, nearly one in five experienced cost burden in 2015. That’s 20 percent higher than the average rate of cost burden in Upper Midwest states. Nearly 10 percent of Minnesota’s homeowning households spend more than half their income on housing. In the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, the growth of relatively low-wage jobs is expected to create 118,000 new openings by 2024. But among the top six in-demand occupations, only registered nurses and truck drivers will be able to afford fair-market rents for a two-bedroom apartment, according to MHP. Senior citizens face their own challenges. More than half of renting seniors face housing cost burden along with a quarter of senior homeowners. In the Twin Cities region, more than three in five senior renters are cost burdened. “This issue is likely to grow only more urgent as the region’s senior population is expected to grow by 123 percent over the next 20 years — the largest project-

ed increase for any region in the state,” MHP said. Market forces alone don’t solve these problems. Minnesota has lost thousands of units of “naturally occurring” affordable rental housing — older units with modest rents. As rents have risen and vacancies fallen, they’ve become plums for investors to pluck, update and put back on the market at much higher rents. Strong growth among renter households with higher incomes has prodded the trend, symbolized most notably in the Twin Cities by the upscaling of the 700-unit Crossroads at Penn complex in Richfield, where many low-income renters lost their homes. Gov. Dayton’s bonding bill before the Legislature includes $100 million for affordable housing projects statewide. He says more than $5 billion in public and private investment has helped 325,000 low- and moderate-income households gain affordable housing since he took office in 2011. We hope that new investment and new approaches will become part of his legacy when he leaves office at the end of this year. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

A solid step forward in elder abuse issues by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

State officials, Gov. Mark Dayton, Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach, DFLers and Republicans announced a bipartisan plan March 13 to address serious issues that have existed in residential care facilities for the elderly. A long list of horrifying stories came out last year, telling about abuse, assault and neglect of seniors and vulnerable adults. You were probably as appalled as I was, hearing tales of beatings, humiliation, sexual assault and neglect at some privately owned nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Fortunately, many state leaders, including the governor and state legislators, were also stunned and action has been taken. There had been a backlog of 2,321 complaints in 2017 – those have been eliminated and the state departments that investigate those complaints are keeping up on the 400 or so complaints they receive each week. (Think about that – 400 complaints a week!) The proposed legislation will improve licensing rules and enforcement, as well as improve communication with family members. Hopefully these actions will go a long way to stop the perpetrators and provide accountability.

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken

The horror stories of elder abuse overshadow the many quality care facilities and dedicated employees. Anyone who has spent time in residential care facilities can see that the staff there often has very challenging situations to deal with. Many facilities are understaffed and employees have not received adequate training in dealing with the many health issues that face older people. I saw many examples of quality care when my own parents needed full-time residential services. I also learned a lot about the challenges they face every day, and admire the incredible patience the staff showed. One woman in a room down the hall from my mother would say: “Help me, help me! Why won’t anyone help me?” At first I was shocked. Then I learned she repeated her lament about every 15 minutes. The nurses and aides would stop by

to talk to her and calm her down. She’d be quiet for 10 minutes or so, then the situation would repeat. Another thing I learned as my parents went through those later stages of life was that it was difficult to identify reality. My father was lucid up to the end, but occasionally would become very concerned about the pigs getting out of the hog barn. He would urge his grandson to check on them. Dad hadn’t raised pigs for 50 years, but for him it was a vivid and real concern. A friend told me about his grandfather, who patiently waited for the school bus at the front of the nursing home every day. You’ve heard many other stories, too, such as elderly people becoming very angry and agitated to the point of physical attacks on others. My point is that the issues with elder care and potential abuse are very complicated. Many times the victim is not believed because of signs of dementia in everyday conversation. Sometimes the victim is unable to speak accurately. No doubt there are occasions when an elderly person claims abuse and it just didn’t happen – or the person is reliving something that happened decades ago. We need to adopt a slogan similar to the “believe her” movement that has accompanied the wave of sexual harass-

ment discoveries. We need to “believe them” when a senior reports some type of issue and investigate right away. But we need trained people to lead those investigations, to sort fact from fiction and act swiftly when abuse is suspected. Quality care requires accountability by everyone involved. Family should visit regularly, talk with staff and be aware of the home’s conditions. We also need to be totally aware that sometimes our elderly relatives cannot communicate. Watching for sudden changes in behavior or mood can be signs that something is wrong. Facility management must be diligent in hiring quality employees and ensuring they are properly trained and supervised. It’s also our responsibility to do what we can to ensure quality care for our elders. Someday we will be the ones needing the care and attention. I think it’s a solid step for our state’s leaders to pursue their list of changes and improvements. This is a good time to set high standards for all care facilities. I’m hoping this is one area where we truly will see bipartisan action and real results. Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers.

I know only too well how the cost of health insurance and medical care can wreck a family. We need affordable health care and health insurance, and we need it now. To achieve this goal, we have to have a representative who understands how important health care is for the average Minnesotan and who will fight for us.

Compensation for District 196 School Board members is currently $6,460 for the Chair, $6,221 for Vice Chair, Clerk, Treasurer and Directors. “New compensation rates have been calculated, taking into account inflation over the past 18 years and salary trends of board members in the metro area — of school districts of comparable size to District 196,� Chairperson Jackie Magnuson said at the March 12 school board meeting. The proposed 2018 compensation rate is $9,000 for board members and $9,900 for the Chair. Moving forward, the board will approve its compensation rate at its annual organizational meeting in January. Members of the negotiations committee will now receive $250 per diem for meetings they attend — an increase from the current rate of $125 that was last approved in 1995. School board members are also permitted to seek limited employment from School District 196 as long as they do not

earn in excess of $8,000 per fiscal year from this temporary employment. This employment must be approved by the other members of the board at a meeting where all members are present. This is the first compensation increase for District 196 School Board members in nearly 20 years. The last increase took place during the 1998-99 school year.

District 196 Budget Advisory Council The District 196 Budget Advisory Council (BAC) will meet 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, at the District Office in Rosemount, 3455 153rd St. W. As always, the public is welcome to attend. Topics for the April 4 meeting include the state’s February budget forecast, the district’s updated financial plan and an update on construction projects from the 2015 bond referendum. The BAC advises the District 196 School Board on matters related to finance. The 12-member BAC is made up of nine parents/residents and three district employees, including a teacher, support staff representative and principal representative. The director of finance and operations and three School Board members serve as ex-officio members of

the BAC. For more information about the BAC, call the office of the director of finance and operations at 651-423-7713.

Part of the solution to water pollution Workshops held throughout Dakota County by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sick of winter and ready to see some greenery? Dakota County is offering landscaping workshops that will inspire ideas while also benefitting the environment. The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District has partnered with four local watershed organizations — the Vermillion River Joint Powers Organization, the Black Dog Watershed Management Organization, the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization and the EaganInver Grove Heights Watershed Management Organization — to create the Landscaping for Clean Water program. Introductory workshops will be held in several Dakota County cities; the next one will occur March 27 at 6:15 p.m. in Farmington at the Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center. The workshop will introduce three types of projects to residents: native gardens, raingardens and native shoreline plantings. Presenters will discuss water resource issues and environmental issues and why these issues are important, then explain the ways people can combat these problems. After attending the introductory workshop, interested people can sign up for a two-night design course for $25. Once someone registers, they receive a book called “The Blue Thumb Guide to Raingardens,� plus maps of their property that will be used to design a project. By the end of the design class, participants will have a full-scale drawing of their project, a cost estimate and a chance to fill out a grant application form. People who qualify for the grant will receive $250 for their project. According to Joe Barten, a resource conservationist with Dakota County SWCD, some of the main environmental issues statewide are the reduction in pollinator habitat and increase in stormwater runoff. Nationwide, stormwater runoff is the No. 1 threat to water quality, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection

For the past 10 years, the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District has helped residents install water-friendly landscaping like this rain garden. (Right) Arrows show how runoff from the house’s roof is collected by the garden instead of running directly into the street. Agency. “All the runoff coming off of our driveways, parking lots, roads and all of the pollutants associated with that are on that hard surface that get carried down into our water bodies such as the Vermillion River here in Farmington-Rosemount,â€? Barten said. The presentation will cover why we should be worried about stormwater runoff and the reduction in pollinators like bees. “(The presentation will cover) how ‌ we (have) lost a lot of our native plant habitat over the last 150 years from development, and how humans have kind of changed the landscape,â€? Barten said. The presentation is geared toward individual residents and what they can do on a small scale to start to tackle these issues, Barten said. “In the world of stormwater management, there’s 50 different types of projects that you could do on a given property to try to make stormwater improvements, but we focus in on these three kinds to give people options but also make it so it’s not overwhelming. There’s things like rain barrels that you can do, there’s permeable pavement ‌ but these are the ones that we find are the most manageable for the average person to tackle,â€? Barten said. Residents don’t need to worry about having a specific type of yard to install a raingarden, because “99 percent of the time we can make it work on anybody’s

property,� Barten said. The idea is to capture runoff from some hard surface, whether it’s a driveway or a roof, so unless someone’s yard is completely covered with trees, it can be installed.

BeneďŹ ts Installing a raingarden has several benefits, Barten said. The water soaks into the ground and is naturally cleansed, and it replenishes the groundwater aquifers. This reduces the amount of water that’s directly rushing into streams and lakes, which means that water picks up less pollutants from our streets — things like vehicle exhaust, oil residue, pesticides and pet waste. Gardens can be planted with native plants to provide pollinator habitat as well. Native shoreline planting is beneficial as well, because it provides a buffer. If someone lives near a lake or river and has turf grass planted right up to the water’s edge, all the fertilizer that gets put on the lawn gets washed directly into the body of water. The shoreline planting captures some of those pollutants before they go into the water, provides erosion control and provides habitat. Along with the environmental benefits, people who attend the follow-up classes appreciate that they’re part of the design process and can create something aesthetically pleasing, Barten said. “It’s your project that we are

helping you design. So it’s going to fit within your property and your landscaping, and it’s going to be something that looks good on your property, too,� Barten said. The average size of a project is around 150 to 200 square feet, and the average cost is about $500, Barten said. Though the grants can be a bonus, Barten said that often the design and installation help is a bigger incentive. “They get the $250 of course if they complete the project, but what we find people really more so appreciate is the technical assistance. So we don’t want to, you know, just send them loose and say, ‘OK, well, you took the classes, now figure out how to build it.’ We meet with them onsite at their house before, during and after the installation so that they can get help,� Barten said. That assistance could involve tweaking the layout or changing what plants are used. The SWCD also digs a test hole to make sure the soil will filtrate water properly. The county provides that guidance for a number of reasons. “One, to help the homeowners feel comfortable in doing the project. Two, to make sure it’s done correctly. And three, just to make sure that they feel like they’re not left out on their own to figure it out,� Barten said. The hope is that people get educated and take action in some way, Barten said. “It’s an opportunity for peo-

ple not only to learn about water quality issues, but to actually do something about it. And then hopefully that kind of spurs them on to other initiatives and maybe even larger projects,� Barten said. Sometimes after people take the classes, they have ideas to do a similar project on a larger scale, like at a church or through a homeowner association. Barten said that there are other grant programs available for those types of projects for people who are interested. The workshops are offered to all Dakota County residents.

Four tips to prep for tax season 2018 BY MATTHEW M. F. MILLER CTW FEATURES

If you want to make sure you’re maximizing the advantages of the new tax laws for your 2018 taxes – due April 15, 2019 – start getting your ducks in a row today. Here are four things everyone should think consider: 1. Check Your W-4 That W-4 form you filled out when you started your job may need to be given a once-over in light of the new tax bill. Given the quick turnaround between the bill being passed and then enacted, all of the details and forms aren’t quite worked out. It’s likely your company’s HR representative might not know exactly what you will need to do in order to ensure you won’t be met with a hefty tax bill come April 15, 2019, but it’s worth checking in. Recently, the IRS released it’s 2018 Tax Witholding Tables, which can help you determine if you need to adjust how much federal tax is being taken out of your check. Download the guide here: http://bit.ly/ taxtablectw 2. Recheck Your Retirement Could the new laws

affect your retirement numbers? Perhaps, so it’s a good idea to talk to your retirement planner to see what, if anything, you should change. For some, the lower tax rates could be a reason to convert a standard pretax IRA into a Roth IRA, which could save money on taxes. It could also be a good time to tap into some of your retirement

For moving expenses, there will be exceptions for those in the military, but the costs associated with relocation no longer will reduce your tax burden. Another big change? Losses sustained due to a fire, storm or theft are no longer deductible. The only way a disaster deduction can be claimed is if you have been affected by a

accounts to take advantage of the lower rates, too. Personal situations vary greatly, so work with a trusted professional to update your plan. 3. Prepare for Vanishing Deductions Alimony payments, moving expenses and tax preparation fees are a few of the high-profiles deductions that will now longer be allowed.

You now can deduct expenses up to 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. After two years, however, it will return to the previous threshold of 10 percent of adjusted gross income. Also, for those caring for an elderly parent – or an adult child with a disability – you can claim a $500 temporary credit for such dependents.

Girl Scout cookie season is well upon us. Troops are working on their leadership skills as well as rasing money for more adventures throughout the Girl Scout season. Many troops decide to set up booths outside of stores and located in shopping malls to sell as many boxes of cookies as they can. A troop got a surprise from an anonymous donor one day. Troop 17071 received $100 from a donor at its last booth. The donor gave the troop instructions to deliver 25 boxes to Highview Hills, an assisted living facility located in Lakeville.

Peterson advances bill in committee Rep. Peterson advances mammogram coverage bill in committee Rep. Roz Peterson, RLakeville, presented her bill, HF3204, to the House Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee on March 13. The bill, which has strong bipartisan support among legislators, would require insurance companies to cover annual 3-D breast cancer screening for

all women that are considered at risk for breast cancer. “I am proud to address this issue by authoring this important legislation,� said Peterson. “Early detection is imperative to successfully treating breast cancer, and 3-D mammograms have time and again proven effective in identifying cancer early when it is most treatable. By providing a more accurate test

for high-risk patients, this bill will help more women beat breast cancer and ultimately help save lives.� HF3204 was approved by the committee and was referred to the Health and Human Services Reform Committee. The senate companion bill, authored by Sen. Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, was introduced earlier in March.

Lakeville North might seem to make going to the state girls basketball tournament look routine, but Shelly Clemons says it’s not, and she wants her players to understand that. It’s hard work, and Clemons should know. She played on three Lakeville High School teams that reached the state championship game – 2001, 2002 and 2004, with the first two teams winning the Class 4A title. She was an assistant coach on Lakeville North’s undefeated state championship team in 2010 and has led the Panthers to state in four of her five seasons as head coach. “You can’t take getting here for granted,” Clemons

Life on the road suits Lakeville North State-bound Panthers are 16-1 away from home by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For six consecutive years, Lakeville North has been for all practical purposes the visiting team in what officially is a neutralsite boys basketball section championship game. And the Panthers have won every time. Asked if the Panthers have come to enjoy that

situation, coach John Oxton said, “I’m not really sure. I don’t know if I can say they enjoy it, but they definitely don’t back away from it.” They didn’t Saturday, rallying in the second half to defeat Rochester John Marshall 51-46 in the Class 4A, Section 1 championship game at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. It is North’s seventh consecutive Section 1 title and the sixth in a row where it had to defeat John Marshall in the final. Although there was

a considerable Lakeville North presence in the stands, it had the feel of a road game for the Panthers, and always has. “I love it. I feel like I play better when everyone’s against us, and I think our team does too,” senior guard Owen Blascziek said. “We’ve played really well away from home.” Lakeville North, 25-4 overall, is 15-1 in games played away from home. So maybe it’s a good sign for the Panthers that they’re traveling again this

week. On Wednesday, they went to Target Center to play Maple Grove (21-8) in a state Class 4A quarterfinal game played after this edition of Sun Thisweek went to press. The winner plays Apple Valley or Forest Lake in the semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday, also at Target Center. North has played in the Class 4A championship game three of the last six years, winning in 2014 and finishing second in 2012 and 2016. The Panthers, seeded third in the state tourney, went in believing

they could make it back to the final. “It’s going to take our defense, which I think we’ve been doing really well, and guys playing consistently,” said junior guard Tyler Wahl, who scored 14 points in the section final against Rochester John Marshall. Blascziek had 12 points, Tommy Jensen 10 and Tyler Lewko nine in Saturday’s game. The Panthers needed all of it, along with good defense, to overcome a 23-point, 21-rebound performance

by John Marshall junior forward Matthew Hurt. Hurt, whose brother Michael plays for the University of Minnesota, is being recruited by most of the nation’s top Division I programs. Oxton has coached against players such as Tyus Jones, Tre Jones and Gary Trent Jr., and has North alumni such as J.P. Macura (Xavier) and Nathan Reuvers (Wisconsin) in major Division I programs. And yet he called Hurt “as good See BOYS, 13A

BOYS, from 12A a high school basketball player as the state has ever seen. “We tried to get him off the block a little bit, tried to double(-team) him at times,� Oxton said. “The plan wasn’t to foul him as much as we did, but that happens.� With JM trailing by three points in the final seconds of Saturday’s game, the Rockets made no secret of what they intended to do. They inbounded to Hurt while the other four players got into rebounding position. It was left to Wahl to guard Hurt one on one, and he contested a three-point attempt that bounced off the rim. Lakeville North rebounded and Blascziek made two free throws to seal the Panthers’ victory. “He went to the left a whole lot and shot his pull-up from the left, so I was just assuming he’d go over there. I was ready for it,� Wahl said. Lakeville North trailed 24-19 at halftime and was down by as many as six points in the second half.

When you come back to the high school in five, 10, 20 years, you can point at those banners proudly.� Lakeville North closed a 26-6 season against Roseville after Eastview broke the Panthers’ 12game winning streak with a 57-47 victory in the state semifinals March 15. Eastview, which defeated Hopkins 68-63 in the Class 4A final Saturday, gave North three of its six losses. The Panthers played in the third-place game for the second year in a row. They left the state tourney with a bad taste in their

Wahl then tipped the ball away from Hurt and got a pass that sent him in for a layup and a 47-45 North lead with 32 seconds to play. Wahl also added two free throws with 17.9 seconds left. John Marshall “had a very good game plan,� Oxton said. “I kind of felt

we were on our heels early and didn’t play as aggressively as we normally do. “Our big message at halftime was, we have to play with them. We have to be aggressive. Step up, shoot the ball, do what you do. One thing we’ve been good at all year is being balanced, and I thought we had to get back to that.�

mouths a year ago after losing by one point to Elk River in the semifinals and by 19 to Eastview in the third-place game. This year they were determined to finish with a victory, one way or another. “It’s hard to prepare for the third-place game,� Clemons said. “I kind of feel spoiled saying that because we’ve been lucky to make it this far so many times. We just knew this year we had a chance to finish this season better than we did last year. Last year, the way we lost in the semifinals really stung, and it felt like we got stomped on in that thirdplace game. This year, these girls wanted to leave their legacy and finish it on their terms.� North won a physical game against Roseville de-

spite shooting just 31 percent. Senior forward Ke James had 16 points and eight rebounds, leading the Panthers in both categories. Sophomore guard Lauren Jensen scored 13 points, and guards Analiese Tschida and Sarah Kuma had eight points each. “It was a good game to end with,� James said. “I’m proud of coming back and getting to play in the state tournament again. Not many teams get that opportunity, and we were able to come back and get a third-place medal.� Lakeville North and Eastview were tied 31-31 with 13 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the state semifinals. Eastview scored 18 of the next 21 points and the Panthers couldn’t recover.

Now, the Panthers are back in the state tournament. Blascziek said the players are aware of the program’s tradition and happy to be part of it, but they want to play well at the state tournament for themselves. “We’re our own team. We wanted this just as bad as all our other teams,� he said. “I didn’t

Both players were named to the alltournament team. James, who will play at the University of Sioux Falls, said the success of previous Lakeville teams – this year was the Panthers’ 14th time in the state tournament – was inspiring. “As a youth player, you always look up to the varsity team and you want what they have,� James said. “I really like Lakeville as a program, from youth all the way up to high school, I think we do a great job of keeping everybody involved. We have a lot of determination and heart to get things done.�

Lakeville man involved in fraud Used seniors’ money for personal expenses

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Lakeville resident and former investment adviser spent more than $720,000 of other people’s money according to a federal indictment. David Thomas Rougier, 45, spent money given to him by mostly seniors to buy gold and silver between November 2010 and June 2017. He allegedly told victims a company would purchase their gold and silver on a future date. Victims were told the set purchase price would guarantee a profit or their gold and silver would be sold on the open market if it was more profitable. Victims were given a contract with multiple

fees ranging from $1,000 to $2,000, which Rougier referred to as an “asset management fee.� This fee along with other annual fees were always paid to Rougier. According to the indictment, that money was spent by Rougier on shopping trips, entertainment, travel, strip clubs and other personal expenses. The victims paid Rougier approximately $740,000; however, Rougier’s bank records show he took out $407,000 in cash withdrawals, $41,000 on strip clubs, almost $100,000 on travel, shopping, restaurants and other entertainment, as well as tens of thousands on living expenses. Rougier was indicted

This case was investigated by the FBI and the Minnesota Commerce Fraud Bureau. Rougier’s securities and insurance producer licenses were revoked by the Commerce Department in 2012. Rougier was sentenced to a year in the Anoka County Jail on March 5 after pleading guilty to swindling a 75-year-old Coon Rapids man out of more than $70,000. He spent the money on strip clubs, luxury hotels and personal expenses rather than investing the money, which he promised the victim.

Pawlenty files campaign committee AP — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Monday he created a campaign committee to run for his old job, the most concrete step yet after months of speculation whether the Republican would return to politics following his short-lived 2012 presidential campaign. Pawlenty, an Eagan resident and former state representative and City Council member serving Eagan, has been inching toward a run for months, recently quitting his Washington, D.C., lobbying job

and starting to raise money for a potential bid to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. In an emailed statement from a new campaign website, Pawlenty touted his credentials as a potential candidate while promising a final announcement soon. “As a two-term governor, I know what it takes to lead our state in the right direction at this pivotal moment in American history,� he said. Minnesota law requires candidates to register a campaign committee within 14 days of col-

lecting $750 in donations or spending an equal amount. Pawlenty has started to raise money for a campaign, including an upcoming fundraising trip to Florida. Pawlenty told The Associated Press and other reporters just last week he was “warming up the engine� for a possible bid. To make it official, he’ll have to file for the office with the secretary of state. He would bring unparalleled name recognition and fundraising ability to a Republican field that has struggled to raise money.

But a Pawlenty reboot also comes with the political risk of his recent work. After a quick flameout in the 2012 presidential election, Pawlenty joined the Financial Services Roundtable in 2012, making more than $1 million a year while lobbying on behalf of the nation’s largest banks. On his new campaign website, Pawlenty referenced that five-year stint only as serving “as the leader of a large trade association.�

‘This is not being alone’ After years of separation, sisters reunite in Apple Valley Villa

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two lounge chairs sit side by side in Dorothy Ferber’s apartment. Ferber sits in one, and her sister, Suzanne Varisco, sits in the other. They spend each evening here. They eat dinner and then retire to the living room to watch a movie or a British television series. Sometimes they do activities that only one of them likes, like watching Wheel of Fortune or meeting up with friends to play bridge, but they do it together. For them, that’s the most important thing. After years of separation, Ferber and her younger sister, Varisco, are now living as next door neighbors in Apple Valley, in Augustana Care’s Apple Valley Villa. The sisters got along from the beginning. They grew up in Fort Wayne, Ind., and have many happy memories of spending weekends with their grandparents, traveling together on roundtrips with their families and singing old songs with their parents. Their mother played piano and their father sang tenor. The sisters loved singing threepart harmony with their father while their mother accompanied them. “When (Sue) first came into the picture, I was crazy about her,” Ferber said. “When she became a teenager, she was a pest. When we both matured

After years of living in different states, the sisters now live next door to each other. and became adult women, we became friends again.” “For me, it was like having three parents,” Varisco said. “She was kind and generous to me, although she was sometimes bossy.” Both sisters enrolled in the School of Music at Indiana University. Varisco studied piano and Ferber studied voice. The sisters were close, but soon family and jobs took them to different areas of the country. Ferber married Dan Ferber in 1950, when she was 22 years old, and soon moved to New Hampshire. They were brought closer, however, when Varisco, at age 23, married Dom Varisco in 1959 and moved to Massachusetts shortly after.

The sisters were able to get together often when they lived in the New England area. As their children grew older, they made roundtrips to visit one another. In 1967, the sisters found themselves in different parts of the country once again when the Ferber family moved to Minnesota. The sisters called each other and sent letters to stay in touch, and they made annual visits. It still never seemed like it was enough, but both sisters were busy working and raising children. Ferber became the Director of Foreign Student Affairs at Gustavus Adolphus College, and also served as the music director at several Lutheran

churches in southern Minnesota. Later, she became the Director of Secondary Research at Ecolab in St. Paul. Varisco followed a winding career path of her own. She taught as an English instructor at Fischer College in Boston, where she served as department chair. She was a senior lecturer and director of the writing center at Salve Regina University in Newport, R. I. Some of her other past job titles include: stewardess, social welfare case worker and freelance writer and editor.

Together at last Ferber came to Apple Valley Villa with her husband seven years ago.

“When I was married, I lived in Eagan. We came here because it was close, very affordable and it had many of the amenities that I like,” Ferber said. That wasn’t her attitude when she first moved in. Ferber and her husband hadn’t wanted to leave their house. Thankfully, her sister was there to help. “She came and finished my packing while I just shook,” Ferber said. “My husband didn’t want to come, so he just sat in a chair looking depressed. He did not want to be here.” As they adjusted to their new home, they grew fond of it. “I like that fact that I don’t have to cook — that might be number one,” Ferber said. “I have a housekeeper who comes every two weeks, she’s wonderful. I enjoy playing bridge here.” In 2010, after 50 years of marriage, Varisco’s husband Dom passed away. Five years later, Ferber lost her husband. They had been married for 64 years. After the deaths of their husbands, the sisters missed each other more than ever. They began traveling to see each other more frequently and staying longer during each visit. When the apartment next to Ferber’s became available during Varisco’s visit in Aug. 2017, the sisters knew this was a rare opportunity.

“I told her: ‘If you’re ever going to come, now is the time,’” Ferber said. Varisco went back to Rhode Island and packed up her house. Six weeks later, on Oct. 1, 2017, she moved in as Ferber’s nextdoor neighbor. They spend many days, and nearly every evening, together now. “We go shopping, as sisters do, or we go out for lunch or dinner,” Varisco said. “My sister has friends who don’t live in the villa and sometimes she likes to get together with them.” They attend St. Paul Chamber Orchestra concerts when the ensemble performs locally, and they have tickets to see “Jersey Boys,” “The Book of Mormon” and “Hamilton” in the Twin Cities. “It’s wonderful,” Varisco said. “Every once in a while, we’ll sit down after dinner and we’ll say: ‘Isn’t this great? Isn’t this fun?’ Just to think, we used to do it for a couple days at a time. And now we can do it every night.” It doesn’t matter what activity they are doing — the sisters are grateful for their time together. “There are two things about our time in life that stand out,” Varisco said. “The first is getting older, having less physical ability. The second is being alone, now that we are widowed. “This — this is not being alone.” Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Bowling to end brain tumors Event strikes in April to raise funds for local and national brain tumor patient care and research

Bowling for Brains will host its seventh annual bowling and fundraiser event, Sunday April 15, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Bowlero Lakeville, 11129 162nd St. W. The Bowling for Brains mission is to build community and honor all in the Twin Cities diagnosed with a brain tumor, caring for someone with a brain tumor, or remembering those who battled a brain tumor, and to raise funds for brain tumor patient care and research. All proceeds benefit the American Brain Tumor Association, and Givens Brain Tumor Center at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. “The strange and frustrating thing about brain tumors, malignant and begin, are that they can strike anyone, at any time, at any age, and there are no reasons or precautions,” said founder and brain tumor survivor, Stacy Zwerdling. “More needs to be done.” Zwerdling fought her own battle in 2009 after the birth of her son. She suffered from throbbing pressure in her head and finally had an MRI, which found an extremely large brain tumor intertwined with her cerebellum. She was told it needed to be removed and that her mobility would suffer to the point of disability. Zwerdling got lucky and recovered with no problems or disabilities. This miracle birthed Bowling for Brains. This movement started small six years ago, with just Zwerdling’s support group bowling and collecting dollars for the ABTA. Recent years’ attendance has been 500-plus, as the organization has become a certified-nonprofit run by a board of volunteers, with the goal to continue raising funds until a brain tumor cure is found and keep ticket prices affordable so families of all incomes can take part. To find more information, register or donate, visit: http://www.bowlingforbrainsmn.org. Schedule this year: 10:30 a.m.-11 a.m. – Brain Tumor Survivor VIP event 11 a.m. – Registration and check-in social hour, silent auction opens 11:30 a.m. – Bowling begins – two hours of allyou-can-bowl SPACE, from 1A on the first try. … I think I’m comfortable saying you didn’t get it right the first time — how can we go back and improve it,” Keeping his students’ creativity alive is what Westlake aims to do. As a teacher, he wants to encourage his students to keep testing and trying out ideas in order to complete their project. He recognizes that not many parents or students are OK with not getting correct answers on their first attempts. “The need (parents) have to push their kids ahead and get everything right sometimes … squashes their curiosity right out of them because they’re afraid to try something,” he said. “We need to let them experiment, play and throw things in the garbage when they don’t work.” Westlake was able to talk about his students while he accepted the award in Washington, D.C., surrounded by fellow teachers and scientists. Westlake had the opportunity to meet the acting head of NASA, the head of the Air Force and astronaut Gen. Tom Stafford who was a commander on

Energy training for teachers offered through Dakota Electric Educators who desire to learn about the energy industry should plan to attend the Lignite Education Seminar from June 11-14. The Lignite Council is offering the seminar again in 2018 due to overwhelming positive feedback it has received from past participants. Teachers of all grade levels are accepted, and Great River Energy, Dakota Electric’s power supplier, will cover the expenses related to the training. The seminar includes discussions on lignite coal mining and its conversion into energy, including the economic impact the industry has on the region. This training also includes a tour of a lignite mine, a lignite-fired power plant, the Great Plains Synfuels Plant (which converts coal into synthetic natural gas), and the Headwaters’ Visitor’s Center at Fort Mandan, which was constructed with the use of coal combustion byproducts. The seminar, which provides professional development credits, is being held in cooperation with Bismarck State College, the Center for Economic Education at the University of North Dakota, North Dakota State University and Minot State University. Application deadline is April 13, but it can fill up early. For more information, contact Kay LaCoe at 701-355-2194 or visit lignite.com/teachers.

Master Recycler/ Composter program

have completed a six-week course and traveled the Twin Cities on field trips to recycling and waste facilities. Participants agree to volunteer 30 hours putting their skills to work to help others learn how to reduce waste, recycle more and compost. In 2017 alone, master recyclers reported volunteering 716 hours with 14 completing their obligatory 30 hours of volunteering. Throughout the last four years, volunteers have given more than 2,600 hours of their time and personally spoken to 40,000 people. “Attending the MRC class, and my husband a later one, changed how we live,” said Sandy Scott of Eagan, who has given more than 200 volunteer hours. “My passion is now landfill diversion. I have always been a good recycler, but didn’t know how to move beyond that.” The program is a way to feel confident about reducing waste and to connect with like-minded neighbors. “Going through the training gave me practical, hands-on experience and the confidence to know that I can have a positive impact on our environment,” said Chris Erickson of Lakeville. “It has sparked hundreds of conversations with people who really want to do the right thing environmentally, but just need positive direction and encouragement.” The program’s next class will be 6:30-9 p.m. Tuesdays, April 3 to May 8, at Black Hawk Middle School, 1540 Deerwood Drive in Eagan. A $30 fee covers course materials and optional field trip transportation. Scholarships are available. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. For details or to register, visit www.dakotacounty.us and search “master recycler,” or call Jenny Kedward at 952-891-7043. The deadline for registration is April 1.

Job Transitions Group meets Bob Voss will present “Everyone Should Have Their Own Small Business!” at the March 27 meeting of the Easter Job Transitions Group. The group meets 7:30 a.m. Tuesdays at Easter Lutheran Church – By the Lake, 4545 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan. Call 651452-3680 for information.

‘Mary Poppins’ at Burnsville High School “Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical� opens Thursday, April 12, featuring music, dancing and some surprises at Burnsville High School’s Mraz Center for the Performing Arts, located at 600 E. Highway 13. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney Co. film, Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins� introduces the troubled Banks family in 1910’s England. Directed by Amy Stead, performances run 7:30 p.m. April 12-14 and 19-21, and 2:30 p.m. April 14 and 21. Narrated by Bert, a jack of all trades, the musical sets off to the streets of London to meet the Banks family. The Banks children have just driven away the last of a string of nannies with their unruly behavior. George Banks is absent too much from the family with his work at the bank, and his wife Winifred is distracted as she tries to fit into London society unsuccessfully. Mary Poppins flies in,

literally, bringing magic and whimsy along with structure and order. She takes Jane and Michael Banks on memorable and magical activities. Mary Poppins’ influence does not stop with the children but rather extends to the adults as the Banks family learns the meaning of family and that “anything can happen if you let it.� There are loads of magic and even more dancing in the production. A highlight is a tap dance scene in which Bert (played by Jon Butler), dances up one side of the proscenium, across the top of the stage, and down the other side. Besides Butler, other cast members include Kelly Solberg as Winifred, Max Taylor as George, Sofia Kemeny as Jane, Sophie Herzog as Michael, and Kaitlin Johnson as Mary Poppins. Five students from Sioux Trail Elementary will be part of the cast in honor of the Minnesota School of Excellence Award their school received this year. The entire school will be treated to a private performance, too. There has been a pretty intensive research and design area for set builders, Mark VanderWoulde and Nick Wolf. In addition, there are far more scenes needed in this show than in any other in recent years. Tickets are available online at https://burnsvillehighschool.thundertix.com/. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door; however, it is likely that some performances will be sold out. Tickets are $12 adults, $11 seniors and $10 for students.

Crayons for Cancer’s Crayon Party Crayons for Cancer and the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America are celebrating National Crayon Day 2018 with a Crayon Party 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31, inside the Crayola Experience. At a Crayon Party, kid-safe crayon slicers are used which cut a slit in the crayon wrapper making it easier to remove. The crayons are then broken into smaller pieces and sorted by colors to prepare them for melting to make Crayons for Cancer. (There will not be melting at this event.) At the event, the nonprofit organization will give out some of its finished Crayons for Cancer in exchange for a financial donation. Donation amounts are used for the following: $5, parking pass; $8, one family meal; $15, coloring books with crayons or markers; $15, general supplies (books, magazines, activity books); $30, food pantry; $35, sibling play; $35, pet therapy; $40, Family Resource Center, one hour of service; $70, social work; $75, one hour of chaplaincy. In Minnesota, Crayons for Cancer raises funds for the Cancer Kids Fund at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. More information is at crayonsforcancer.org.

Author and humorist Lorna Landvik will be the event’s keynote speaker. The Minnesota writer has specialized in quirky characters with Scandanvian heritage since she released her first book in 23 years ago. Landvik said she will talk about what inspires her as a writer, the writing process and her road to getting published during the breakfast session from 9-10 a.m. “I like to try to edify and entertain,� she said. “I like to talk about how there is no right way to write.� The Author Fair will

Zoo introduces two new Amur tigers The Minnesota Zoo recently welcomed two new female Amur tigers to the 485-acre campus. The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto, from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Both tigers can be seen in Tiger Lair along the outdoor Northern Trail. Zookeepers have been working behind the scenes to successfully create companionship between the two young tigers. “Both females are getting along really well,� says Trista Fischer, Northern Trail assistant curator. “Callisto’s mellow personality has benefited Aurora, as she has become a calmer, more confident cat. These two like to spend their days chasing each other through the snow and snuggling up in the front window of our Tiger Lair. For these girls, there is no better enrichment than a good buddy.� The zoo is currently home to five endangered Amur tigers. “The Minnesota Zoo serves as a leader in wildlife conservation around the world and is home to the Tiger Species Survival Plan,� says Dr. Tara Harris, vice president for conservation and Tiger SSP coordinator. “Aurora and Calisto, along with the other Amur tigers at the Minnesota Zoo, are aweinspiring ambassadors for their endangered wild counterparts. It’s our mission to create those invaluable connections between animals and our guests, to inspire people to care, learn more, and act to save wildlife.� The largest of all cats, the Amur tiger is a top predator of far eastern Asia. Its thick fur protects it against the extreme cold and icy winds of winter, while its stripes help render it invisible to prey. Amur tigers are carnivores, eating mostly large mammals such as deer and wild boar. They will travel over extensive forest territories in search of food. With its stealth, speed, and sheer strength, the Amur tiger is well-suited to its role as a hunter. Poaching of the tigers themselves and their prey is the primary threat to the Amur tiger’s survival. Due to conservation efforts, Amur tiger numbers have increased from as low as 20 or 30 around 1940 to approximately 500 today. Through the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign, the Minnesota Zoo supports efforts to improve anti-poaching patrols in the Russian Far East and to close old logging roads in order to prevent poacher access.

Photos from Minnesota Zoo

The two unrelated females, Aurora, from Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and Callisto (also above), from the Columbus Zoo, arrived at the zoo in November 2017 and are between 1 to 2 years of age. Coordinated by Minnesota Zoo staff since its initiation in 2012, the Tiger SSP’s Tiger Conservation Campaign and its supporters have raised nearly $1 million for on-the-ground projects that are helping save wild tigers. The public can learn about and contribute to these efforts by visiting tigercampaign.org and facebook.com/tiger-

campaign. The Minnesota Zoo is also one of 15 coalition members that comprise the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (altaconservation.org). These coalition members pool their resources to help support conservation efforts for wild Amur tigers and leopards. Funds contributed by the Minnesota

Zoo have helped monitor wild populations of these highly-endangered cats in the Russian Far East. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org. The zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and an institutional member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
