Enrollment plummets at MNCAPS District 194 plans marketing efforts

Businesses tell their stories

A Division of ECM Publishers, Inc.

Lakeville Area School District 194 plans to bolster marketing efforts for its new career-focused high school program to address dropping enrollment. Of the 87 students currently enrolled at Minnesota Center for Advanced Professional Studies, 25 are returning for the program’s second year this fall, according to District 194 projections. Of those returning students, 11 attend District 194 and 14 are from Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools. First-year enrollments for the business pathway next year include 10 Lakeville-area students

Students are dropping MNCAPS, the career-focused offcampus program started this year by the Lakeville Area School District 194 and the Prior Lake-Savage School District. Sixty-two students from both districts have enrolled in the program for the first time (year one) but just 25 of the 87 students completing the first year program this school year are returning. and 52 Prior Lake-Savage students. This fall’s first-year medical pathway, enrollments include 13 Lakeville students and 49 students attending Prior Lake-Savage schools. MNCAPS’ costs are split evenly between the districts, raising concerns by the Lakeville Area

School Board at its March 21 meeting that Lakeville tax dollars are being spent to educate students in a neighboring district. “There’s 34 (Lakevillearea) students registered for next year,� said School Board Member Jim Skelly. “We’re paying $60,000 rent. It’s like one fifthgrade classroom. And we

have a full-time person (paid) out of the (2015) levy (referendum) doing this and marketing this program.� School Board Member Terry Lind expressed dismay at the numbers. “I’ve never seen this before,� Lind said. “It’s shocking to me. That’s all I can say.� The district’s memorandum of understanding for MNCAPS requires each district to pay half the costs of MNCAPS no matter how many students attend it, according to District 194 Executive Director of Business Services Michael Baumann. Baumann said there is discussion of moving to a per-pupil cost-share for the program. “But under the current MOU, that was not the agreement,� Baumann said.

Penny Zurn and Shanen Corlett, of the Lakeville Public Safety Foundation, shake hands with Lakeville City Council members after donating four $4,500 RAD 57 carbon monoxide detectors to the Lakeville Fire Department. Fire Chief Mike Meyer said the department has been trying to attain detectors through federal grants for several years. “We have not been successful until this group came along,� Meyer told council members at the March 20 meeting. Meyer said the units will allow them to test carbon monoxide in people at the scene. “In the past, we had no other way to do that other than have Allina come in and transport them to a hospital,� Meyer said. The device can also be used for firefighter rehabilitation to make sure they are able to return into the scene of a fire. He said during large fires, firefighters are cycled in and out of the blaze to ensure safety.

Targeted services to be expanded by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Summer school may be in the future for more Lakeville Area School District 194 students than ever before. The district is expanding its targeted services program to identify more at-risk K-8 students eligible for invite-only programs and to receive help after school or during the summer. “We wanted to beef targeted services up and have it a larger program and have more kids participate,� said Renae Ouilette, District 194 executive director of special education and student services. Ouilette estimated 1015 percent or more of the district’s student population of around 11,000 could be eligible for the program.

The change is part of the district’s Area Learning Center realignment strategy to help more atrisk students while broadening adult basic education and addressing a significant deficit for the ALC, where about 65 atrisk students are enrolled full-time. The ALC has continually been operating with a deficit totaling between $461,469 and $702,783 annually since 2011 for programming that typically costs around $1 million to $1.1 million annually, according to the district. Its fiscal year 2017 budget projects spending $15,125 per ALC student this school year, including approximately 163 part-time students attending the ALC but who are counted in other schools. Ouilette said higher participation rates will increase state funding that can be used for Area Learning Center costs.

After 13 years of recession-induced delay, construction is in the works for a five-acre parcel off County Road 50 in Lakeville. A restaurant with both Caribou Coffee and Einstein Bros. Bagels is planned to be located in one building near Culver’s and Cub Foods off County Road 50 in Lakeville. City Council members approved a conditional use permit for the plans at their March 20 meeting. The building will feature a drive-through window and a 41-seat dining area with an additional 20 seats on a patio that will be open seasonally. After discussions with

neighboring ReMax building owners, developer United Properties agreed to face a trash enclosure south and install a roof so the dumpster could not be viewed from the second story of the ReMax building. Keith Ulstad, United Properties senior vice president of commercial properties, said they purchased the property to secure full access to the shopping center and planned to sell or build on the property. “I didn’t think that I’d be watching my phone for the birth of my second grandchild by the time we finished it up,� Ulstad said. The new building is about a block from a Caribou Coffee location, and Ulstad said the company plans to run them both. “There are several spots in the cities where they operate two stores fairly close to each other,� Ulstad said. “It’s probably

Under its agreement with Prior Lake-Savage, District 194 pays half the program costs until the 2018-19 school year when funding shifts to a per-pupil formula. The district also has a five-year lease agreement to rent 8,400 square feet of space for the program in the Minnesota School of Business building at $14 per foot with annual 2.5 percent increases. In its first year, District 194 was to pay $117,600 to lease the space plus $4.38 per square foot annually for central area maintenance costs. Costs for the program are paid through the general fund, a $77,700 lease levy and $70,000 from the 2015 voter-approved levy funds. Last year, the School

Under the realignment plan, the Area Learning Center will no longer be overseen by a director, a position held for over a decade by Cliff Skagen, who had also been responsible for managing targeted services and adult basic education. District 194 will replace the director position with a coordinator to oversee ALC teachers and programs. The coordinator is to work collaboratively with the middle schools and high schools to identify students at risk or nontraditional learners in hopes their needs can be addressed before they have to go to the ALC.

Dakota County officials stuck in CTIB Question of fairness in transit funding leads to impasse to dissolve regional board by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It appears the Counties Transit Improvement Board won’t break up after all. With Dakota County unwilling to approve dissolution of the regional

transit agency and no additional meeting slated before a March 31 deadline to decertify its taxing authority to the Department of Revenue for this fiscal quarter, CTIB will likely stick together at least for another three months, according to Dakota County Commissioner Tom Egan. The next quarterly deadline is June 30, but Egan doesn’t know if the impasse will be broken by then. “Is something going to happen in the next 90 days? I don’t know,� said Egan, an attorney, who

hinted during a Tuesday phone interview that a mediator might be needed to resolve the dispute. “There are going to have to be some softening of positions. Feelings have been strong. “The good news is this allows us more time to negotiate, and the bad news is we continue to pay the tax,� Egan said. Dakota County is holding up the dissolution of CTIB as the county attempts to garner some of the money it says it has contributed over the years to the regional transporta-

Sitting are Commissioners Mary Liz Holberg and Tom Egan. tion project agency. The county wants $29.1 million as part of the break up, but the four other CTIB counties — Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and Washington — are offering $16 million. The discrepancy, according to Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, is that Dakota County is not taking into account $82.1 million in grant funds that CTIB members have already agreed to pay. Since the two sides are working with two different top line numbers, they are coming up with different results, according to McLaughlin. “There’s been a disagreement on the analysis,� McLaughlin said during a Monday phone interview. “I think it’s disappointing that an effort that came together as a regional effort with the full and active participation of all

involved to face the difficult task of solving the transportation challenges of the metro area is going away because of Dakota County,� he said. “There is some irony in this that the county that wanted to leave wants to keep it together.� Dakota County officials said in June 2016 that they wanted to leave CTIB by 2018 because the county was putting more money into CTIB projects than the dollar value of the projects being built in the county. Dakota County says the CTIB dissolution proposal does the same thing as it returns 55 percent of the county’s investment while the average return for other member counties is 91 percent. By receiving $29.1 million, Dakota County says that represents 67 percent of its investment in CTIB — still far short in its eyes. “That is a substantial

concession,� Egan said. The county also notes that if its requested amount were accepted, another $40 million of Dakota County’s previous contributions could still be used in CTIB projects. That money is an acknowledgment that Dakota County residents use mass transit like the Hiawatha Light Rail line in Hennepin County. “That goes a long way to resolving that issue,� Egan said. Egan said Dakota County’s proposal wasn’t visited during the March 15 CTIB meeting despite Dakota County sending a letter to the board to ask it to consider its request. After a resolution was approved last year allowing Dakota County’s exit from CTIB by 2018, the other member counties proposed dissolving CTIB this month. The catch is that all member counties See CTIB, 3A

The polka party continues Apple Valley couple to host ‘Funtime Polka Party’ on Pioneer Public TV by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Those who know polka are probably familiar with the Chmielewski family. Apple Valley resident Patty Chmielewski traces her family’s involvement in polka to the late 1800s when her great-grandfather, Frank, played his fiddle at barn dances and weddings. Her father, Florian, and her uncles hosted the polka-themed television show “Polish TV Party� starting in the mid-1950s,

followed by the nationally syndicated “Chmielewski Funtime.� At one point in the 1970s, she said, “Chmielewski Funtime� became so popular it topped the hit show “All in the Family� and “Monday Night Football� in the ratings. Chmielewski is continuing the family tradition as leader of Chmielewski Funtime, the polka band that includes three of her kids — Nick, Lexy and Kati. She’s also the host, with husband Michael Bell, of the KBEK-FM radio show “Funtime Polka Party.� Now, Chmielewski and Bell are looking to bring polka to a wider audience as hosts of a TV version of “Funtime Polka Party�

on Pioneer Public Television. The couple recently reached an agreement with the public station, which reaches 2.5 million homes in the Midwest, for two seasons of “Funtime Polka Party.� The episodes will be filmed at the 39th annual International Polka Fest May 19-21 at Grand Casino Hinckley. The TV incarnation of “Funtime Polka Party� is scheduled to begin airing in the fall. The festival — which Chmielewski and Bell are hosting and producing — will include a 90th birthday celebration for Florian Chmielewski, who has been playing accordion for 72 years and whose autobiography, “0-90,� will be released at the event.

Bell, who until about four years ago worked in retail management, said he got involved in the polka scene through Patty. In addition to their radio show and concert events, they also organize motorcoach tours to Branson, Missouri, and other destinations. “We’re able to work together, which is what we wanted to do,� he said. “We just like to entertain people and see the smiles on their faces. There is never a fight at a polka dance — it’s happy music.� “Polka to us is fun,� Patty added, “and we want the generations to pass it down.�

CTIB, from 2A have to approve it. McLaughlin says that if Dakota County successfully blocks the dissolution, it would mean Dakota County would have to pay $52 million into CTIB through 2018, since the other member counties couldn’t dissolve the board until Dakota County left. Egan called the $52 million figure “grim news.� “You can’t ignore that fact,� Egan said. “That concerns me. I know that principle means a lot, and constituents have told me, ‘Don’t let Hennepin County run roughshod all over you.’� Either way, Dakota County is leaving a disproportionate amount money on the table for projects outside its area, according to Egan. The issue comes down to “Geographic Equity,� one of the guiding principles in CTIB’s bylaws. It says, “The Board shall endeavor to award grants to promote geographic equity over time with respect to investments in transitways to implement the counties’ regional vision.� Egan contends the balance has not been there.

hicle, including “What’s your dog’s name?� and “You can hop in the car,� the girl told police. The girl eventually fled the scene by running through yards to her home. She described the driver to police as a black male with a mustache and beard, about 40 years old, and he spoke with an accent. His black sedan had tinted windows and a silver grill. Apple Valley police have sent out a request to nearby law enforcement

McLaughlin said at the outset of the formation of CTIB there was an explicit conversation about whether counties should get back what they put in dollar for dollar. “We rejected that,� McLaughlin said. “The whole mindset of Dakota County that everyone gets back what they put back in, that was not the mindset when CTIB was formed.� “Geographic Equity� uses the phrase “shall endeavor,� which is left up to interpretation. McLaughlin said Dakota County is also not taking into account the $36 million it will have received from 2008-2017 in leased vehicles sales tax money, which he says was built in as an offset when CTIB was formed. “They are looking backward and not forward,� McLaughlin said. “They want to second guess the decisions they made.� Egan said most of Dakota County’s contributions to CTIB through 2017 would go to the Southwest Light Rail Line from Minneapolis to the western suburbs, Bottineau Light Rail Line from Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park, the Riverview Light Rail Line from Union

Depot in St. Paul to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport and the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit from St. Paul to Woodbury. Dakota County will see a fraction of spending for planning of the Orange Line BRT from Minneapolis to Burnsville and some Red Line BRT operational costs. The main goal of the process, according to Egan, will be for all the counties to stop using the CTIB tax and implement the Greater Minnesota tax, which would allow each member county to levy its own tax to use on projects in its own borders. The current CTIB sales tax of 25 cents for every $100 purchase would be able to be increased to 50 cents for current CTIB counties. It has been projected that if Hennepin and Ramsey counties were able to increase the tax, it could make up for gaps in funding for SWLRT and other projects. Egan says Dakota County has $500 million in unmet transportation needs. The Greater Minnesota tax would be able to raise $166 million over the next 10 years.

Opinion Carry Sunshine Week’s message throughout the year by John Bodette SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sunshine Week, a national effort to promote openness in government, was held as last week as an effort of the American Society of News Editors and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. When we are experiencing “fake news,” “alternative facts,” frequent falsehoods and efforts to label journalists as “enemies of the people,” there is no better time to shine the light on government. While I was executive editor of the St. Cloud Times, we did several in-depth reports on how citizens could access public information. The Times did reporting projects to request public information from city and county governments, including law enforcement, to make sure information that is required to be public was readily made available. But rather than directing this column

Guest Columnist

John Bodette to the journalists who work hard to serve their communities, I want to ask all citizens to be inspired by Sunshine Week. Most people don’t realize the wealth of information that is not only available to the public, but required by law to be provided. Do you want a copy of your school superintendent’s employment contract? Ask for it. It is public. Want to know who is in your county jail? You should be able to access the information online or request a list from local law enforcement. Want a copy of your city or county

budgets? Ask for it. Those are public records. My best advice has always been to assume, with a few exceptions, that anything having to do with government actions is public. Some personnel matters and most juvenile court records aren’t public. But so many other documents are open. For example: Expense records for government officials are public. Government contracts with private companies and individuals are public. Another good source of information are the legal notices published in daily and weekly newspapers, also required by law in many cases. Need help on answering questions on whether information is public? The state Department of Administration’s Information Policy Analysis Division is where to turn. IPAD’s primary mission is to offer help and consultation on the Data Practices Act, the Open Meeting Law and

other information policy state laws. The agency answers questions from residents, governments and groups and businesses interested in public records. You can find them here: http://www.ipad.state.mn.us/ index.html. This is the time for all citizens to demand open access to government information. Transparency in government makes for stronger communities. I think the Washington Post has hit the target by placing under its front page masthead the words “Democracy dies in the darkness.” There is no better time to bring transparency to government at all levels than now to carry the message Sunshine Week throughout the year. John Bodette recently retired as executive editor of the St. Cloud Times and Times Media. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Get Real ID done — the right way To the editor: I want to thank Mr. Rajavuori for his letter to the editor dated March 16. The letter highlighted the importance Real ID well, but it’s important to clarify that I strongly support Real ID, and will keep working to pass a clean Real ID bill. The bill I voted against was cluttered with several bad provisions, one of which could cost taxpayers millions of dollars and give more power to the federal government. Let’s get Real ID done, but let’s get it done right. If Real ID is not passed, or a federal waiver granted, Minnesotans will not be able to use their driver’s license to board a plane after Jan. 22, 2018. So, I agree with the urgency of Mr. Rajavuori’s letter, but his implication that I am against passing Real ID legislation is just plain wrong. I have always supported Real ID. But, that doesn’t mean I’ll vote for every bill labeled “Real ID.” One of the major reasons I voted against the failed Real ID bill was a last-minute amendment that ceded even more control to the federal government. The amendment said if the federal government made certain changes to its Real ID law, our Real ID system would automatically go away. That is unacceptable. If we set up a multi-million-dollar Real ID system, I will not put those tax dollars atrisk, and cede control of a Minnesota system to the whims of the federal government. I disagreed with the governor’s position, despite the claims of the letter writer. We need to

completely separate the issue of Real ID from immigration. Mr. Rajavuori’s effort to tie immigration to Real ID is one of the partisan strategies preventing this legislation passing. Let’s pass Real ID separately, and get done it right. Outside of Real ID, I’m proud to be one of the most bipartisan senators in Minnesota. I’ve joined Republicans and Democrats on health care reform, energy policy, and tax cuts. I will continue joining with both parties to cut taxes on Social Security benefits, repairing our transportation infrastructure, and improving education. Sen. MATT LITTLE District 58, Lakeville and Farmington

The gold standard: GOP health care plan To the editor: The underlying principles of the GOP health care plan are solid gold — both from the left and the right. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, in his comments of support to the bill, identifies that in his 20-plus year broadcasting career, he interviewed nearly everybody he could from each side on the issue, and all agreed that a patientcentered, market-driven plan, “block grants” to the states for Medicaid, and tax equity at its foundation, were the “gold standard” for the health care system in our country. Expansion of the Medicaid provision under Obama Care (one of the reason for its failure) is that health care providers are being reimbursed at significantly lower rates for the genuinely needy,

rather than the able bodied adults enrolled: roughly 50-85 percent for the first group, 90 percent for the second. This just simply isn’t right. Second, the expansion has led to the headline we saw in the March 15 Star Tribune — “Mayo to give preference to privately insured patients over Medicaid patients.” We have the top of the top, stating they will be choosing who gets care. This type of situation will only worsen with the bulging baby boomer population getting into their senior years. And then, currently, after only a couple of years into Obama Care, one third of the counties’ across the USA, have only one health care provider to choose from. Tax credits will heighten the awareness of the costs of medical care, bringing transparency into the system: too few of us really know what medical care costs. The federal government block granting Medicaid dollars back to the states will allow the states to set the priorities which best serve their citizens. Money, your own, or the taxes we pay, are best spent closest to its source. JANALEE COOPER Northfield

Wolves’ future in hands of politicians To the editor: Local residents can join me in an effort to defend and protect the wolf. I know I am not alone in this plea. A 2013 Lake Research poll found that 79 percent of Minnesotans agreed the wolf is an asset to protect for future generations, and a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources survey showed that 79 percent

say no to wolf hunting. Unfortunately, this evidence is not enough to keep wolves protected. Sadly, there continues to be some politician support for wolf trophy hunting, by removing the wolf from federal protections under the Endangered Species Act. This is wrong, and Minnesota’s wolves need us to be their voice. Wolves are a unique and special part of Minnesota’s identity, and it hurts me deeply to know they will be subject to unnecessary hunting and cruel trapping and snaring methods. They are essential to a healthy ecosystem, and I feel very strongly that as Minnesotans, we should actively support keeping the wild protected in Minnesota. Why do wolves scare some people? What scares me is … what would our world be without them? TRICIA BROWN Eagan

Lewis’ health care vote To the editor: The U.S. House of Representatives was expected to vote on a bill Thursday that in its present form, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would deny health care to 24 million Americans. Some of these Americans are our friends and neighbors, and yet U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis — elected to represent all his constituents — has already voted in a Budget Committee in favor of this bill, officially named the American Health Care Act. In support of this bill, Lewis states in a press release that he is “proud to be keeping my promise to start real health care reform.” He claims the bill will “lower premiums,” give “universal access to quality care,” and let the patient “choose a plan that works.” But critics of the bill, including many Republican legislators, are not happy with it. In its present form, for example, it steals from the Medicare trust fund to pay for huge tax breaks for the wealthy, while hastening the program’s insolvency and paving the way to privatization. Republicans are also considering legislation that would devastate Medicaid, a program that currently helps our poor and elderly neighbors. Is this what most of Lewis’s constituents want? To learn the answer, Lewis should show up at a town hall meeting; however, he has yet to do so. Thus far, he appears to be considering both sides of this issue. For example, he sent me a letter (dated March 16) promising to “consider” a bill, House Rule 676, that would expand and improve Medicare for all, creating “a single pay-

er healthcare system by expanding the Medicare program.” Clearly, given Lewis’s vote for TrumpCare (AHCA), he does not favor an expansion of Medicare or Medicaid. Or does he? Who should have health care in America, and who is responsible for paying it? For many Americans these are lifeor-death issues. That is why I am calling on the real Jason Lewis to stand up — at a town hall meeting — to answer questions from his constituents in the 2nd District. BRENDA DALY Burnsville

AHCA impact in the 2nd District To the editor: As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I care for children with complex injuries and disorders. I can’t help but wonder how many of my patients will be negatively impacted by proposed changes to our health care system. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis has a short video on his website explaining how the proposed American Health Care Act would benefit consumers by offering more choice. Unfortunately, this bill would leave many of my patients with little to no choice at all. Under the proposed AHCA, thousands of low-income children who are already at higher risk for illness and injury could lose their health coverage due to Medicaid enrollment reductions and eligibility restrictions. Minnesota is regarded as a top state for pediatric health outcomes. Much of our progress, however, is due to expansions in health insurance. Over the past five years, insurance rates for children have reached historic highs. In fact, the percentage of uninsured children in our area (Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District) dropped from 7.2 percent in 2010 to 3.9 percent in 2015, according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Without access to insurance, many families defer or skip critically needed care, resulting in poorer health outcomes and higher costs that impact everyone. Under the proposed AHCA, as many as 16,836 neighbors in our district — many of whom are children — could see cuts to their Medicaid eligibility or benefits. These children rely on Medicaid for an array of medically necessary services so that health problems and developmental delays can be diagnosed and treated early or averted all together. Families with modest incomes above the poverty line would also be neg-

atively impacted. That’s because the AHCA would eliminate federal funding for MinnesotaCare, a program for low-income families who don’t qualify for Medicaid. In our district, 9,268 people are enrolled in MinnesotaCare. Finally, families purchasing insurance on the individual market who are trying to keep up with astronomical premiums will no longer be able to receive subsidies based on their income, making insurance even more unaffordable. First, do no harm. We can’t allow a new health care bill to hurt children. Dr. MICHAEL PARTINGTON Mendota Heights

GOP health care plan makes things worse To the editor: Contrary to Richard Iffert’s claims in his March 16 reply to my letter to the editor of March 3, the Republican health care bill does nothing to lower costs. In fact, in 2018 it is estimated that on average premiums will increase 1520 percent over expected costs with the Affordable Care Act while tax credit subsidies will decrease an average of 36 percent. The highest increases will be experienced by people 45-64 largely because insurers will again be able to charge the middle-aged five times higher premiums. There is also nothing in the GOP bill that guarantees a wider array of plans as Iffert claims. In fact, 14 million people losing coverage in 2018 alone along with the penalty for a gap in coverage that is a disincentive to healthy people to obtain coverage destabilizes the market causing more insurers to drop out. Couple that with drastic cuts to Medicaid hitting rural hospitals and clinics the hardest and the result is less choice. I find nothing to rejoice about in the health insurance plan that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis and Mr. Iffert wholeheartedly support. Millions of people losing insurance coverage (38,416 in Lewis’ district), higher costs and less coverage for everybody else, eliminating substance abuse and mental health coverage, gutting the Center for Disease Control, shortening the solvency of Medicare and reopening the prescription donut hole, eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood, Medicaid cuts that harm the elderly, disabled, and children. I am not impressed by a plan that by all objective measures makes things worse. DEE RICHARDS Eagan

Authors, book lovers unite in Rosemount Event earns positive reviews from participants

Trail Library with the goal to bring the Rosemount area writing and bookloving community out of their writing and reading nooks to learn more about the craft. Hirsch, who became a published author after losing his longtime day job as a newspaper photographer, spoke about how he embarked on a yearlong project to document the life of a single oak tree near his western Wisconsin home on Facebook. He spoke about how the following he created online with more than 40,000 “likes� led to the publishing of “That Tree,� which has sold 2,300 copies to date. He says that is remarkable for an independent, unknown author. Stein said people found Hirsch to be an excellent and inspirational speaker. She said they left with practical advice to inspire their own work. One attendee said Hirsch’s presentation was “top shelf � and alone worth the trip.

The event included 60 vendors for the Book Fair along with several workshops designed to inspire would-be and current authors in building their next projects. Bloomington for the past several years. The Rosemount group was able to use many of the contacts and relationships the Bloomington group had developed over the years. Stein said people described the workshop sessions as awesome, fun, engaging, informative and inspiring.

People also raved about the gorgeous facility, according to Stein. Last year, the city of Rosemount opened a 10,000-square-foot expansion to the Steeple Center with a new common area and two floors of classroom space. The new space was added to the original small

lobby and the old sanctuary of St. Joseph Church, which was converted for use as a performance venue and large group gathering space. The site allowed for organizers to have five different concurrent workshop sessions four times during the day. The workshops were organized under five

themes: Getting Started, the Craft of Writing, Genres (mystery, poetry, memoir, graphic novels), the Business of Publication, and Marketing and Public Relations. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Local group aims to sway health care vote ISAIAH makes presentation at Lewis’ Burnsville office by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With a U.S. House vote slated Thursday for the American Health Care Act, a group of 2nd District faith leaders went to the Burnsville office of U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis on Tuesday in an attempt to present information to the representative and ask him to reconsider his support of the bill. Lewis, a Republican, voted in favor of the bill during a Budget Committee markup last week. “I’m proud to be keeping my promise to start real health care reform,� Lewis said in a news release. “The American Health Care Act is about lowering premiums, giving universal access to quality care, and letting the patient choose a plan that works, not the plan government thinks they should have. I look forward to continuing to work for all the Minnesotans who have been hit so hard by Obamacare.� The presentation in Lewis’ office to a staff member was organized by ISAIAH, a coalition of congregations whose goal is to work for racial and economic justice in Minnesota. About 25 people packed into the front room of the office to share the stories of people they say would be affected by a repeal of the Affordable

Care Act and replacing it with AHCA. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the replacement bill would leave 14 million more Americans uninsured by 2018 than under current law, and 24 million more by 2026. The group said that more than 40,000 people in the 2nd District would no longer have health insurance under the new bill. They brought strips of paper with 20,000 human figures on them to represent that number. One woman said they would have brought more, but they didn’t have time. The group told the stories of people who didn’t have health insurance prior to the enactment of ACA, saying the law helped save lives. “People of faith have a divine call to care for and protect people,� ISAIAH said in a press release. “This new plan is a direct violation of this call as the AHCA proposes to divest from social safety nets, like Medicare, created to protect and care for ‘the least of these’ and most vulnerable in community – babies, elderly, poor, and disabled – and reinvest the funds into the pockets of the wealthy. Several reports have been released describing the devastation on those who would be impacted by this new bill. Faith leaders pray that Congressman Lewis will have the strength and moral courage to make the right decisions for his constituents.� In addition to prayer, the group sang several

ISIAH staff member Alexa Horwart talks with people who were at the Burnsville office of U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis for a presentation to advocate for a “no� vote on the American Health Care Act. songs during the presentation in Lewis’ office. The staff member said she would pass along the information and notes from the meeting to Lewis. She allowed the group to complete its entire presentation, which lasted more than an hour. “Will this change his mind?� ISAIAH staff member Alexa Horwart said. “I don’t know.� The AHCA would replace the ACA, which was passed while President Barack Obama was in office to require people to have health insurance or pay a penalty. The law created individual insurance

exchanges throughout the country that were administered by states or the federal government. It also expanded Medicare to include more people under its coverage. Lewis wrote in a March 10 editorial that the AHCA would ensure choice, portability and a safety net. He said the bill would eliminate expensive mandates and allow “consumers to choose the insurance that works best for them.� Lewis said the GOP plan would “offer a refundable tax credit that anyone can use to buy the plan that’s right for them

anywhere in the country — and not just on a government exchange. As folks grow older, the tax credit increases, allowing the plan of their choice to travel with them from job to job or in retirement. Not only that, but our plan seeks to increase taxdeferred Health Savings Accounts to help cover deductibles and even overthe-counter items, further leveling the playing field.� He said the plan protects patients with preexisting conditions and maintains the ability of dependents up to age 26 to stay on their parents’ insurance.

“At the same time, it removes price controls from the market, allowing the young and healthy to once again afford insurance,� he said. “Further, to help each state find the right solutions, our plan offers states innovation funds so that they can better meet their distinct health care needs.� He said the plan also seeks to modernize Medicaid for able-bodied adults while ensuring access for the most vulnerable.

Local couple bitten by honeybee bug New ordinance will permit beekeeping on large lots by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An electrical engineer by trade, Joseph Coffey came to beekeeping through scientific inquiry. Intrigued by colony collapse disorder, which has diminished global honeybee populations, and aware of pollination’s place in the food chain, Coffey decided to have a look for himself. He bought a hive nearly a decade ago and kept adding inventory each season. “I’d never seen a hive before, not up close,� said Coffey’s wife, Ellen. “But I wasn’t going to be left out.� The Burnsville couple have been thoroughly bitten by the honeybee bug and, James said, “stung so many times we don’t really pay attention to it anymore.� They maintained 75 colonies last year between their backyard, their farm in Pine County and other locations in Dakota and Scott counties. They

launched a business, C&C Apiaries, that annually produces 80 to 120 pounds of honey per colony. Ellen is already a past president of the Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association and earned Midwest Master Beekeeping certification through the University of Nebraska. “And I’m also now working on a master’s degree in entomology,� said James, still an electrical engineer who looks forward to full-time beekeeping in retirement. The former North Carolinians, who have three children and nine grandchildren, live on a one-acre lot in semirural southwest Burnsville, where the City Council has decided beekeeping is OK. The council is expected to soon pass an ordinance allowing beekeeping on the area’s large lots, zoned R1A (one-family rural residential). Council members agreed to the change this month as a clarification related to the city’s 2016 adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code. Though beekeeping has historically been outlawed by the city, Community

Beekeepers James and Ellen Coffey, pictured in their southwest Burnsville backyard, turned their passion into a business called C&C Apiaries. Development Director Jenni Faulkner said she’s not aware of any complaints against the Coffeys. Nor are they.

“Most of the neighbors have been very cordial about it,� James said, noting that the pollinating insects sometimes forage as much as 2.5 miles from the colonies to which they always return. “They’ve been very welcoming to have the bees. We had one neighbor a couple of years ago we took some honey down to. He said, ‘Oh, you have bees? We didn’t know that. I was wondering why all of a sudden we had so many blackberries, raspberries and apples.’ � The bees did wonders for her previously moribund zucchini patch, Ellen said. “The year after we got honeybees I planted nine zucchini plants and I made zucchini cake, I made zucchini bread, I made zucchini casserole, I gave it to the neighbors, I gave it to everybody that would take it,� she said. “And I still had zucchini to put in the Photo by John Gessner Jim and Ellen Coffey inspected a honeybee colony in the backyard of their southwest freezer.� The couple have a webBurnsville home.

site for selling their honey, but most of their business has been word-of-mouth, James said. “I sell a lot of honey at work,� he said. “And we have some people that buy in bulk.� With five colony sites last year, the business came into its own, James said. “Last year was kind of a tipping point for us,� he said. “Things were running at a loss there for awhile, but I think last year was a tipping point for us.� The Coffeys, who have competed in and judged State Fair competitions, have an arrangement with other property owners where some of their colonies are kept. “Basically, people want bees on their property because they understand the benefit — people we know,� James said. “Typically, what we do for payment is we give them what we call a ‘yard-rent jug’

� — a refillable 5-pound container. The couple are now experimenting with a honeybee breed from Eastern Russia that has high resistance to varroa, a parasitic mite believed to be the single-largest contributor to the recent decline of honeybees. Their backyard beehives are like sweet music to the Coffeys. “I don’t know what it is about the bees, but I can have just a terrible day at the office, come home, open that box up and that all goes away,� James said. “I don’t know what it is about it. I guess it’s just the activity. The sound that they make is very relaxing.� Said Ellen, “You get a lawn chair and go sit in the bee yard and just listen to them.� Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

CHANGES, from 1A members have raised concerns about the changes during recent School Board meetings and requested Skagen, whose contract expires in June, be offered the coordinator position. Sharon Danley, ALC office manager, said Skagen has created many options for ALC students, including online courses, earning a diploma from the state or taking classes at the high schools with bus transportation. Danley said Skagen has a “calming effect� at the school. She added they discovered for the past three years the ALC was charged in error for about $150,000 annually for staff or substitute teachers that do not work there. Michael Baumann, District 194 executive director of business services, said at a March 14 meeting the charges were not the premise for any concern regarding the ALC program and can be corrected through a simple accounting chargeback process.

He said concerns arose when they determined the district’s general fund is subsidizing the program. Several district staff members have also expressed concerns about the changes in emails to the School Board, including ALC science teacher Kaylee Borgerson who described Skagen as “an anchor to this program.� She said he has “a vast knowledge of how our program works and all of its moving parts. To replace Cliff would only be detrimental to our program.� ALC teacher Jeff Rydberg said hiring two people would be more expensive than keeping Skagen in the position. “If Cliff does not return to the ALC, this program will suffer a huge setback,� Rydberg said in an email. “Cliff ’s expertise in running ALC programs is second to none. He knows that it takes a consistent staff with low turnover that is committed to the program. He has built just that.� Skagen has attended the School Board meetings where his staff have

advocated for him, but has not addressed the board himself. He also declined several requests from this newspaper for comment. Ouilette called the situation frustrating. “No one has ever said Cliff couldn’t apply for the position,� Ouilette said, adding the job will still require an administrative license. She said there are no plans move the ALC from its downtown location. “Obviously, it’s just a benefit to the district to have it,� Ouilette said, noting the long-term facilities projections show both high schools being at or near capacity for a long time.

ential learning. “Any time you have something new, kids and the parents don’t know what it is yet, and so they’re not sure if it’s going to be maybe the right fit,� McDonald said. “I believe over time, what we’ll see is students gravitating toward one or the other, depending on what kind of experience they want to have.� Plans to expand MNCAPS this fall to include a computer science pathway have been delayed a year, according to McDonald. She said the district lacks a feeder computer science program to prepare students for the higher-level classes that would be offered through MNCAPS. “Our AP (advanced

placement) Computer Science program is not that robust,� McDonald said. “Going to the AP route, what we realized from talking with students ... and deans and parents is that we need to shift our focus to really be around building skills first before we get to those AP (classes).� She said the district is developing a “highly engaging� pathway and a marketing plan in hopes of achieving gender balance in those courses and roll them out next year. McDonald said the district is also working with deans and principals at all buildings to encourage them to help students and parents learn more about MNCAPS. “We believe that more students would partici-

MNCAPS, from 1A Board approved the lease agreement 5-1, with Skelly casting the dissenting vote, citing cost concerns. During the March 21 meeting, School Board Member Bob Erickson questioned if the new Lakeville North biomedical program has drawn away Lakeville students from MNCAPS’ health care pathway. District 194 Director of Teaching and Learning Emily McDonald said although the programs are both in the health care field, they are “very different.� She said biomedical at Lakeville North is more of a traditional classroom-type approach to learning, while MNCAPS offers real-world experi-

Adventures in summer school District 194’s targeted services are now being managed by Innovation Coordinator Julene Oxton. Ouilette said Oxton is working to make summer school more like an adventure program with lots of hands-on activities that would appeal to sec-

ondary students. “In the past, it was basically we just served kids that needed additional support in reading and math to get them to benchmark,� Ouilette said. “And that’s really not the language of targeted services. It’s really about serving the whole child and really looking at all the aspects of educational engagement, school engagement.� Ouilette said the district is also making changes intended to increase its adult basic education program. She said they used to have a strong relationship with Hearthside Food Solutions in Airlake Industrial Park and brought English language and citizenship classes there, but the company cut funding for the programs. She said the district wants the Adult Basic Education manager to cultivate similar relationships with businesses in the future, both to increase revenue and to benefit the community. “We have a really changing community with more folks that

could really benefit from our adult education programs,� Ouilette said. “But we need somebody that’s really focused on what would that look like in our community.� School Board members have spoken in support of the plan at recent meetings. Board Member Terry Lind said he considers the change an investment by Community Education that is going to pay off within a year or two. “We’re investing in this position to grow the program,� Lind said District 194 Community Education Director Steve Porter agreed, noting that an increase in contact hours will increase funding. “If we are able to attract more students, serve them better, have higherlevel gains and generate those contact hours, then we will make progress to having a program that is financially sustainable,� Porter said. He said the Community Education fund would fill the financial gap until the program grows and generates more funds.

Board Member Bob Erickson also called the change one that “has significant value.� He suggested the district work with the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce and the city’s Economic Development Commission to help them with outreach. Superintendent Lisa Snyder said the district is trying to grow and improve the program while being fiscally responsible. “This summer will be the debut of the new programming,� Snyder said in a prepared statement she read at the March 14 School Board meeting. “We’re already seeing a lot of indication that enrollment will be much improved, and that is nothing to say about who managed the program before or how it was managed. It’s just taking a different approach and really focusing on our goals of growing enrollment and growing the quality of what we’re offering.�

pate in this program if we do the right thing in terms of marketing and communications,� McDonald said. “So we’re looking at different ways and additional ways to do that.�

level of satisfaction.� She said she believes there are some communication issues that need to be addressed. Board Chair Michelle Volk called the situation “disheartening,� noting in year one, registrations were strong by just having people come out and talk to kids. “To have year two, I’m assuming the same effort was made to speak to people, and it’s very disappointing,� Volk said. The off-campus high school career program started this school year as an Innovation Zone project with the Prior LakeSavage School District, the first in either district’s history. Fifty-two students took the business pathway and 35 students were

in the medical pathway this year, according to MNCAPS Coordinator Melanie Smieja. This current school year, 52 students were enrolled in the MNCAPS business pathway and 35 in the medical pathway, according to District 194 Communications Director Amy Olson. Of those, 25 students are from Lakeville South, 22 attend Lakeville North and one attends the Lakeville Area Learning Center. Thirty-nine students in MNCAPS now are enrolled in the Prior LakeSavage School District.

McDonald said the schools are beginning to focus on ninth- and 10th-graders so that by the time they qualify for the first year of the MNCAPS program as juniors, they have planned and prepared for it. Lind said the district needs to ask this year’s juniors who took the first year at MNCAPS why they did not sign up for the second year of the program. McDonald said they collected data from students in the program this year and found “a high

Man charged in robbery A Lakeville man was charged with felony second-degree aggravated robbery in a Dakota County court last week following an alleged holdup where he implied he had a gun and left with video games and a Playstation 3 from a Game Stop in Eagan on March 10. Eagan officers were dispatched to the business during the afternoon after a robbery was reported in

progress. According to the criminal complaint, Tyler James Peterson, 25, entered the store and selected four games and a refurbished game system and went to check out. While the cashier pulled up Peterson’s membership details, Peterson allegedly picked up the games and system, grabbed his right lower back with his right hand and said he had a gun.

Peterson allegedly told the cashier to stand in a certain location while Peterson left the store without paying. Officers matched the surveillance footage with Peterson’s Driver and Vehicle Services photo. When Peterson was arrested March 13, he declined to provide a statement. During a search, officers located the games and system reportedly stolen from the business.

Police: Vehicle thefts on the rise

Ǥ Ǥ

Apple Valley police are reminding residents to keep their unattended cars locked after a spate of thefts from vehicles throughout the city. In the last month, 68 such thefts have been reported, police said. Most of the thefts were during overnight hours, and most were of cars left unlocked. Items reported stolen include electronics, CDs,

backpacks and spare change. One day in particular saw an inordinate number of thefts from vehicles: On March 4, officers responded to over 20 reports. In a post on its Facebook page about the recent increase in theft reports, the Police Department noted: “Cars parked in driveways overnight and even vehicles parked in lo-

cal parking lots have been hit throughout the city. “As the weather gets warmer and we approach spring break for our school district (March 25-April 2), remember to lock your vehicles and remove all valuables. Don’t become a victim of this preventable crime.” —Andrew Miller

CARIBOU, from 1A

Development Director Dave Olson said the site is the last in the mall area to be completed. He said the joint parking arrangements will help alleviate traffic issues, and added the new business will be busy at different hours than its neighboring businesses – Culver’s and an auto store.

Mayor Doug Anderson thanked Ulstad for his persistence and staying power. Council Member Bart Davis called the restaurant “a great addition to that area.”

Sports North boys used to the bright lights Basketball team goes to tourney for 6th consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Teams that go to the state boys basketball tournament need to adjust to the bright lights of the Target Center, louder crowds, a different shooting background and the possibility of playing on television. Oh yes, and the pressure of competing for a championship. Lakeville North might be the team in the Class 4A tournament least affected by any of that. The Panthers make their sixth consecutive appearance at state this week. They have been in the championship game three times since 2012, winning in 2014. The players believe they know the drill by now. “Even though there are a lot of people watching, you can’t be tentative or play any differently than any other game,” senior guard Ethan Igbanugo, a senior guard and one of the Panthers’ captains., said following a North practice Monday afternoon. Igbanugo and the other two North captains, forward Nathan Reuvers and guard Trevor Schermann, were sophomore or ninthgrade team players watching from the stands when the Panthers, led by guard J.P. Macura (who this year helped Xavier reach the NCAA Sweet 16) defeated Hopkins in the Class 4A title game. The three captains were on the court last year when North lost to Hopkins 64-55 in a Class 4A championship rematch. “People were talking about it last year, how they thought we’d be right in there ready to win another one, and we almost did,” Schermann said. The Panthers got another chance, but their experience didn’t guarantee an easy time in the first round. North lost to Wayzata 69-66 in the quarterfinalo round Wednesday and will play Chaska in the Class 4A consolation semifinals at 10 a.m. Thursday at Concordia University. The seeded teams in Class 4A appeared to be an exceptionally deep and

The top five seeds, including No. 4 Lakeville North, were a combined 136-9 going into the tourney. No. 1-seeded Champlin Park is 30-0, but remained undefeated only after squeaking past Chaska 53-50 on a buzzerbeating three-pointer. The field also includes South Suburban Conference champion Apple Valley, which gave North (27-3) both of its regular-season losses. Wayzata saw to it there will be a new Class 4A champion this year, beating Hopkins 66-51 in the Section 6 final. The North-Wayzata winner plays Champlin Park or Chaska in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Thursday. For the Panthers, success at the state tourney comes down to understanding what they want

to accomplish. “The kids are pretty excited about it. But the older guys, the guys who have been around, they know what the deal is,” Oxton said. “I think a mistake a lot of teams make is, in the section championship game there’s a lot of pressure to get to state, then you kind of take that deep breath and you’re like, ‘Ahhh, we made it.’ Then you don’t get locked in as much as you should for the first round. “That’s something we talk about a lot. We’re not doing this just to get to the state tournament. We’re trying to win a state championship, and to do that you have to be locked in from the get-go.” Lakeville North also has the experience of being essentially a visiting team for the Section 1

championship game the last five years. Every year since 2013 the Panthers have faced Rochester John Marshall in the section final at Mayo Civic Center. The crowd, while not hostile, is strongly pro-JM. “You know everyone in there is going to cheer against you. You have to have poise,” Reuvers said. “You know they’re going to make some runs and the place will be rocking, but you have to play your game and have confidence that you’re the better team.” North beat John Marshall 81-61 in the Section 1 final last Friday. Reuvers, the Panthers’ scoring leader with a 26-point average, was held scoreless in the first half, yet North still led 32-25. Igbanugo had a See PANTHERS, 13A

As Lucas shot, Reuvers got tangled up with Wayzata’s Alex Jensen, who was called for a foul. Reuvers got two free throws, making one to put North in front 66-65. Wayzata regained the lead on two free throws by Baumgartner with 14 seconds remaining. With his team trailing 67-66, North sophomore guard Tyler Wahl took a three-pointer that bounced off the front of the rim with four seconds remaining. Wayzata’s Jacob Beeninga rebounded, was fouled and made two free throws. North had an opportunity for a final shot from just inside halfcourt but missed. Lakeville North shot 56 percent and had a slight rebounding advantage (26 to Wayzata’s 23), but committed 13 turnovers to the Trojans’ five. Reuvers had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Panthers. Senior guard Ethan Ibanugo scored 18 points and Wahl scored 14. Baumgartner led Wayzata with 19 points. The winner of Thursday’s Lakeville NorthChaska game will play for the consolation championship at 6 p.m. Friday at Concordia University.

Lakeville North has been in the state Class 4A boys basketball championship game three times since 2012 but will not make it four after losing to Wayzata 69-66 in the quarterfinal round Wednesday afternoon at Target Center. The Panthers, 27-3, play Chaska in a consolation semifinal game at 10 a.m. Thursday at Concordia University. Consolation brackets were added to the four-class state tournament this year. Chaska (24-6) lost to topseeded Champlin Park 5350 when the undefeated Rebels made a desperation three-pointer at the buzzer. The North-Wayzata game had seven lead changes, but the Panthers appeared to be in control when senior forward Nathan Reuvers scored to push his team’s lead to 5546 with 8 minutes, 11 seconds remaining. Wayzata got the next eight points but didn’t move in front until Gavin Baumgartner’s layup with 1:53 left gave the Trojans a 63-62 lead. Wayzata led 65-62 with 32 seconds to play when North guard Jalen Lucas Contact Mike Shaughnessy hit a three-pointer from at mike.shaughnessy@ecmthe wing to tie the game. inc.com.

Panther girls finish fourth at state basketball Wild finish ends title chamces by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Certainly, it takes talent and toughness to get through the state tournament. But sometimes it just has to be your night. March 16 wasn’t Lakeville North’s night at the state girls basketball tournament as the Panthers had several chances for a winning shot in the final seconds but couldn’t convert, losing to Elk River 57-56 in the Class 4A semifinals at Williams Arena. On Saturday, North concluded a 28-4 season with a 68-49 loss to Eastview in the third-place game at Concordia University. Elk River, meanwhile, completed an undefeated season by beating Hopkins 64-60 in the Class 4A final. The conclusion of the Lakeville North-Elk River game might be rehashed and debated for years. The Panthers led by seven points with 6 minutes, 1 second remaining, but a 10-2 Elk River run put the Elks up 55-54 with 2:09 to play. Elk River still was protecting a one-point lead when North guard Temi

Carda made a steal with 17 seconds remaining, giving her team an opportunity for a game-winning shot. That’s when things got crazy. Kari Macura missed a shot, but the ball came to the Panthers’ Lauren Jensen, who made a jump shot that would have given North the lead

with four seconds remaining. But officials immediately waved off the basket, saying it came after North coach Shelly Clemons called timeout. Coming out of the timeout, Carda took a shot that was blocked out of bounds. The North bench argued that Carda

was fouled by the Elk River player that blocked the shot, but North wound up with another inbounds play. A shot by Jensen hit the rim just before the buzzer and Elk River advanced to the championship game. Senior guard Caitlyn Peterson had 16 points

game Saturday against Eastview, a team they defeated twice in the regular season en route to the South Suburban Conference championship. North made only six of 26 shots in the second half of Saturday’s game as Eastview pulled away. The Panthers lost consecutive games for the only time this season and closed with two losses after losing only two of their first 30 games. Carda and Peterson had 12 points each in the third-place game, with forward Ke James adding eight. The state tournament appearance was North’s second in a row and the third time the Panthers have gone to state since Clemons became head coach in 2013. Next year’s team could be a threat in Class 4A, too. The Panthers graduate three seniors – Carda, Peterson and Olivia Bruce all starters for the 2016-17 team. Jensen, a ninth-grader, is regarded as a future star, and North also will return players such as Brown, James and Macura next season.

Dakota United and Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville teams came away with consolation trophies at last weekend’s state adapted floor hockey tournament. Dakota United, the defending state PI Division champion, defeated PANTHERS, from 12A game-high 28 points as the Panthers took over in the second half. “We played good defense in the first half and that’s why we were able to keep the lead even though we didn’t play great on

In the PI Division opening round Friday night, Dakota United (106-1) ran into longtime rival Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka and lost 5-4 in double overtime. The Robins’ Andy Hanson scored his second goal of the game at 7 minutes,

43 seconds of the second overtime. Senior forward Kyra Patterson had a hand in all of Dakota United’s goals, scoring three and assisting on the other. Hawks goalie Jonathan Lyons made 23 saves. Lyons earned a shutout in the Hawks’ 9-0 victory over Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville in the consolation semifinals. Junior forward Riley Wisniewski had four goals and two assists, and freshman Blake Jackson scored a hat trick.

Jackson had another hat trick in the consolation final against Maple Grove. Wisniewski scored twice and had two assists. Patterson earned a place on the all-tournament team.

offense,� Igbanugo said. “The second half, once we started getting our offense going, that’s when we pulled away.� The upperclassmen had to adjust to new chemistry after a sophomore they’d never played with – guard Tyler Wahl – cracked the

starting lineup. That took time, but they understood their defense could keep them in games when their offense wasn’t clicking. “Anytime you have tall guys and they’re very athletic, it makes your defense so much better,� Oxton said. “You can change

shots, tip passes, all sorts of things like that.� Reuvers will keep an eye on the NCAA playoffs as his future team, Wisconsin, plays in the Sweet 16 this week. But his priority is finishing his high school career with a championship to help en-

hance the reputation of a school that, over the last half-dozen years, has become one of the state’s top basketball programs. “It’s pretty special. Not every athlete gets to experience being on a really good team for most of their high school career,�

Reuvers said. “It’s nice to know you’re putting in the hard work and it’s showing in the success of the program.�

Conjoined twins go from penniless freak-show performers to vaudeville stars in 1930s America in the Chameleon Theatre Circle production “Side Show.� The local theater group is set to present the musical, based on the true story of conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, March 31 to April 23 at the Ames Center’s Black Box Theatre in Burnsville. In real life, the Englishborn Hilton twins were exhibited in Europe as children, and in the 1920s and 1930s they toured the American sideshow, vaudeville and burlesque circuits. The sisters appeared in the 1932 film “Freaks,� and in 1951 starred in “Chained for Life,� an exploitation film based loosely on their lives. “Side Show� explores issues of love, race and societal expectations through the eyes of two
