MOM Brands’ new business campus plans come complete with a big backyard. Lakeville City Council members unanimously approved a conditional use permit for the company’s site proposal April 15, expressing excitement that MOM Brands is another step closer to moving its corporate headquarters from downtown Minneapolis to Lakeville’s Fairfield Business Campus in 2014. Formerly known as Malt-O-Meal, MOM Brands announced last year it would purchase the former New Morning Windows building adjacent its current location at 20802 Kensington Boulevard and move about 100 corporate employees into it by 2014. Under the multi-building corporate campus design, a city permit was necessary because it does not comply with setback requirements under the
original lot lines. With the change, the two buildings will function as part of a single 22-acre lot, sharing driveways and parking with a green space situated so employees can safely walk between them. The plan eliminates a north-south parking lot drive aisle between the buildings to improve pedestrian connections, adds many new windows to the east building, which will be upgraded so its stucco finish matches the color of the west building. Dave Olson, Lakeville director of economic and community development, said the company is working on a $4 million upgrade to the east building, a former warehouse, that includes adding a second story as the company did with its west building. “They’ve figured out how to modify these precast concrete buildings in such a way that converts it, changes their usage,� Olson said. No additional signage is planned, and all truck
deliveries will use the east drive access off the Kenbridge Court cul-de-sac; Olson said the business is not expected to add much truck traffic in the area. Once completed, the total number of Mom Brands employees in Lakeville will increase to 350. Council Member Bart Davis said he was on the Planning Commission when the project was first presented. “It’s great to see this project actually come to life,� he said, calling it “fantastic� and “exciting to see.� Mayor Matt Little thanked the company for bringing jobs to Lakeville and investing millions into the buildings. “If any of those employees would like to decrease their commute, we are building a lot of single-family homes here in Lakeville,� he said.

An era officially came to an end for Lakeville basketball last week. Lakeville North girls basketball coach Andy Berkvam announced he is leaving the team to coach the Northfield boys basketball team next season. The move might come as a bit of a surprise, but Berkvam has thought about coaching at Northfield for decades. “It’s the job I’ve always wanted,� Berkvam said. Berkvam grew up in Northfield and he planned See BERKVAM, 15A
Lakeville residents safe after marathon bombings No security changes planned for city events by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A Lakeville father and son likely snapped one of the last photos at the Boston Marathon finish line before two blasts killed three people and injured over 170 people April 15. Josue Castillo Sr., Lakeville, said he and his son Spencer Castillo, 18, were about 50 yards away when the first blast exploded, having just completed the 26.2-mile race. “I felt it and then it went off,� Josue Castillo Sr. said. “It was like a loud bass speaker at a concert.� Josue Castillo Sr. said he saw white smoke and instructed Spencer to keep walking down the middle of the street, guiding him with a hand on his shoulder, so that if another explosion went off, the potential of something hitting them would be minimized. “The crowd was scurrying along,� Josue Castillo Sr. said. “They knew something was wrong.� See BOMBINGS, 15A

Sexual assault, domestic violence training creates better support Lewis House provides advocacy training, help for families in crisis by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
For every domestic violence or sexual assault case in Dakota County, officers call up 360 Communities’ Lewis Houses in Eagan and Hastings or fax over a criminal report so survivors have someone reaching out to them. Whether the victim needs someone to take them to the hospital, court or police interview, Lewis House staff and volunteers standby on the 24/7 support hotline. The message advocates have for survivors is simple: “I believe you. I support you. You do not deserve this.” The statistics reveal that sexual assault is all too common and does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. An American is sexually assaulted every two minutes, one in four girls is sexually assaulted before the age of 18, only 16 percent of rapes are reported to the police, according to the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual

Assault. The Eagan Lewis House has been at about capacity through the winter, whereas past years saw more of a lull during these months, said Ann Sheridan, director of violence prevention and sexual assault at Lewis House. Lewis House offers services to women who experience domestic violence and sexual assault and might need housing or emergency support. Lewis House also works to train and educate community members to become advocates. The 40hour certificate program is offered twice a year and covers the basics to sexual assault forensic exams, prosecution, visits to Dakota County Community Corrections and sex crime investigations. A former offender talks to each training group and offers a different perspective. Over the years, the program has educated hundreds of people, Sheridan said, and attracts professionals, students and volunteers. “It’s incredibly important,” Sheridan said. “I think about mothers and community members who are doing jury duty and want to learn more, and professionals who are al-

Opinion
Funding pre-kindergarten scholarships is a necessary step A growing number of scientific findings on early brain development and the ability of children to learn more earlier is leading educational and business leaders to push for more state funding to educate 3- and 4-year-old children, particularly from communities with concentrations of poor families. Experts say that at the age of 5 a child’s brain is 90 percent developed, enabling the child to learn numerical concepts, good behavior and how to get along with other children. Gov. Mark Dayton and Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius are urging legislators to approve more dollars for pre-kindergarten scholarships and for all-day, everyday kindergarten. Last month this newspaper’s editorial board, in keeping with its year-long educational agenda, endorsed full funding for all-day, everyday kindergarten for all students in Minnesota. We also favor more pre-K funding, because half of Minnesota’s children are not prepared for kindergarten, according to the Department of Education. Dayton wants the Legislature to fund $44 million to allocate 10,000 pre-K scholarships intended for children from families in poverty. These scholarships would be run through the popular Parent Aware program in which parents
ECM Editorial rate the providers of pre-K programs. Parents would select from a list of providers rated 4 and above. We are concerned, however, that scholarships in the governor’s bill are intended mainly for children living in communities where there are concentrations of poverty, possibly excluding poor students living in middle-income communities across the state. We urge the Office of Early Learning at the Department of Education to distribute the scholarships equitably across the state. Economists Arthur Rolnick and Rob Grunewald have drawn national attention, particularly from the business community, with their claim that for every dollar invested in early-childhood education for low-income children in high-quality programs, there is a return on investment of $16. Some critics question spending state dollars on programs whose effectiveness, they say, is disproven by studies. They also claim that students who do not have early-childhood education usually catch up with those who do by third grade. A highly interesting study by James Heckman, Nobel economist, found that children from higher-income families
who were observed and tested from ages 3 to 18 scored much higher than students in lower-income families. What’s stunning is that children from families living in concentrated poverty areas who miss the pre-K education step never catch up with children from higher income families who have pre-K. As reported in the New York Times, Heckman and others confirm that investment in early education of disadvantaged children pays extremely high returns down the road. Cassellius says there is plenty of research to support investment in young learners as a critical way to close the achievement gap and improve student outcomes. She points to a study in North Carolina, where low-income students who attended preschool had higher math and reading scores in third grade than their peers. A study in Michigan traced two groups of low-income students, those who attended preschool and those who didn’t. The study found that at age 40, those who attended preschool had higher levels of education, earned more money, were more likely to own a home and were less likely to be incarcerated. Minnesota already has a pre-K program that’s offered through 300 public school districts and is funded by local and state funds. Early Childhood Family Education works with parents and
their children from birth to kindergarten. It is based on the belief that the family provides the child’s first and most significant learning. This emphasis on pre-K education is in line with what is happening nationally. President Obama proposes to expand early-childhood education to provide high-quality pre-K for 4-year-olds from families whose incomes are at or below 200 percent of the poverty line. Through a Race to the Top federal grant of $10.7 million, more pre-K scholarships for poor children in Minnesota are being awarded from 2012 to 2015. As part of the grant, a special committee designates the families that should receive the scholarships. We believe spending money at the state level for 10,000 pre-K scholarships targeting children living in poverty areas is a necessary investment in view of the fact that half of Minnesota’s children are not ready for kindergarten. We urge people who agree with this view to let their legislators know that funding for pre-K education is a necessary first step to narrowing the achievement gap between have and have-not students.

Kids ’n Kinship depends on its volunteers To the editor: April 21-27 is National Volunteer Week and as a board member and chair of Kids ’n Kinship, I want to thank and express my appreciation to the Kids ’n Kinship volunteers/ mentors and all volunteers for their public service. It is the generous giving of time from volunteers that strengthens our communities – whether it be working with children, the elderly, or the disenfranchised, or protecting our environment and the animals. I am very proud and honored to be a part of Kids ’n Kinship – a youth mentoring organization in Dakota County. Its mission is to provide friendships (mentors) to children ages 5-16 who are in need of a positive adult role model. Mentors can be individuals, couples or families who are able to share just a few hours each week with a young person. Activities can include sports, games, crafts, being outdoors, or just hanging out. Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, Kids ’n Kinship currently has 80 young people matched with adults. And thanks to these volunteers, the waiting list for mentees gets shorter and shorter. But the need for mentors and volunteers is ongoing. National Volunteer Week is not just an opportunity to express gratitude for all volunteers, but to encourage volunteerism. As any volunteer will tell you, “You always get back more than you give.” If you’re interested in learning more about mentoring and Kids ’n Kinship, you are invited to our next information session Saturday, April 27, 2-2:45 p.m., at Wescott Library in Eagan, 1340 Wescott Road.

Role of economic demand To the editor: As a small-business owner, I am encouraged by the increase in the number of jobs in our local economy. For that reason, I could wish that all the jobs were as good-paying as they once were. The statistic that the minimum-wage of the 1960s in today’s dollars, adjusted for inflation, would run to over $11 per hour. Average wages for those of us who aren’t in the top 20 percent of earners, have fallen over the last decade. During this time, wealthier Americans have seen their incomes grow by thousands of dollars and their tax rates have fallen, according to studies by the IRS and the state Revenue Department. In spite of these phenomena, although average incomes have fallen, employment has slowly increased, which is a good sign. That sign is reflected in greater demand for goods and services for many local business owners and greater certainty about our economic future and consumer confidence. I suggest the strategy of priming the economic pump is working, and that doesn’t require the usual remedy of “cutting business taxes.” Maybe if we increased the minimum wage we’d see an even greater increase in economic demand and employment. It could sure reduce the misery index for many low-wage families, and increase their domestic stability. BETTY FEDDE Eagan
The bad Samaritan?
didn’t we just vote last year against reckless voting restrictions that harm young people, seniors and lowerincome people? Didn’t the people of Minnesota speak decisively against further restrictions on legal voting? Is somebody ignoring recent Minnesota history? The writer complained about “unemployment payments, food stamps, cash assistance, and medical insurance.” How difficult should we make it for somebody who is starving to survive? A couple millennia ago, Luke the physician reported Jesus asking “Which of these was a good neighbor?” for a traveler who had been beaten. An expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus was reported to reply, “Go and do likewise.” PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan
Road salts affecting water quality To the editor: I am writing in regard to the current and unfortunately large amount of salt used for ice and snow melting during the winter and the effects it is having on water quality and aquatic life. Every year about 350,000 tons of salt is applied to roads for de-icing in Minnesota. Roughly 70 percent of this sodium chloride runs off into nearby lakes, aquifers, and other water sources. Since salt dissolves in water and settles, the salinity of these water sources is only going to increase. Salinity of these water sources has been steadily rising since road salt first began being used in the 1950s and about 30 lakes in Minnesota were found to have excessive amounts of chloride in them mainly due to road salt as noted in a 2010 study performed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Chloride has not yet caused any known problems in drinking water for humans but eventually it will. Salinity in water is only going to increase as time goes on unless actions are taken to reduce or eliminate the amount of salt we use to melt ice. As snow begins to fall, the demand by the public for more salt on roads increases, but the effects of the extensive use of salt and the harmful effects it is having on water sources should be known by the public along with other possible ventures that can be used.
To the editor: In a season when there seems to be agreement that something needs to be done to help immigrants, we heard recently from a critic of efforts to integrate immigrants. Her argument was not against any changes to law, which would reduce penalties on those who break voting laws, because there are no such changes proposed. Indeed, the desire by non-citizens to acquire the training and driver’s licenses required to get insurance to protect you and me in any accident should be encouraged, not discouraged. Instead, the criticism seemed to be directed against “Latin Americans” BRIAN KENOW from “the south.” But Apple Valley

Helping others brings blessings for all Dakota County residents band together in faithbased nonprofit store by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Secondhand stores are in the business of helping others, but two local stores are finding that helping each other might be the biggest blessing of all. Michelle Overbey founded Shidor, the Second Hand Store, in Farmington three and a half years ago. “It’s a tough business to be in, but we were feeling that this year was going to be our calling,” she said. When leasing options in Farmington changed, Overbey made the tough decision to close her store in early April. She described that action as having the rug pulled from underneath her. She had loved serving customers in need through Shidor and her faith-based nonprofit, Salt and Light, and wasn’t sure what her next move should be. Then she got a call from Keith Haskell. Keith and his wife, Kathleen, are directors of Garage Sale Outlet, another secondhand store that recently moved from Rosemount to Lakeville. The shop is an extension of the Haskells’ own faith-based nonprofit, Free Indeed. With one phone call, Overbey felt her future shift into focus. “It’s completely a God thing because for me to close this store, and then find these guys, I had to trust God and know I would be OK and something would pop up,” Overbey said, tears welling up in her eyes as she recalls the overwhelming sensations of the last few

Overbey will serve as an independent consultant for the store. (Photo by Jennifer Chick) months. That phone call set the foundation for Overbey’s new role as independent consultant for Garage Sale Outlet. She felt a connection with the Haskells right away and realized that their own goals and ideals aligned quite closely with why she had started her nonprofit and store. The Haskells and Overbey are still deciding what roles they will cover in the new venture, but they look forward to a future where they can support each other while sharing knowledge and ideas. “It’s obvious that God’s favorite game is ‘Connect the Dots,’ ” Keith Haskell said. The Haskells started their nonprofit business after seeing a need last summer. Keith Haskell had started Addictions, a program to help inmates at Dakota County Jail. When one of those in the program graduated and started a new job, his family needed essentials but his first paycheck was still weeks away. The Haskells had many
of those essentials stashed in their garage, so they let the man and his family “shop” from their garage. That encounter led the Haskells to realize that Dakota County has many resources, but sometimes those resources are hard to get on short notice. “We decided we needed something that people can get to right now,” Kathleen Haskell said. So they started Garage Sale Outlet. As well as clothing, furniture and other household furnishings, the shop also stocks food and other necessities. The shop quickly outgrew its space. The Haskells found a new spot for the store at the Lakeville Mall, Holyoke Crossing, 20730 Holyoke Ave., Suite 150, next door to the local food shelf. The store’s opening day in Lakeville was during a March snowstorm, but even so, Kathleen Haskell said they had two times as many people come into the store as they ever had in Rosemount. As the couple balanced outside jobs and commit-
ments with the daily task of operating Garage Sale Outlet, they were becoming overwhelmed. That’s where Overbey came in. She hopes she can be a breath of fresh air to the Haskells, sharing her time, talents and knowledge in a way that will benefit everyone. “I know it’s going to be a lot of trial and error, but I know I would rather share and get them going,” she said. “Once you’ve been there, you understand it. We each knew that we can help each other out with our drive and our passion because we have a lot of the same drive and the same passion.” Not only is the store a place for people to find quality items at garage sale prices, but any profits go back into Dakota County through a variety of programs and organizations. Garage Sale Outlet provides vouchers to help families in need through local churches. The business works with judges to help those who need to log community service hours. Transitions Plus, a life
skills coaching school for people ages 18-22 out of Apple Valley, has students who spend several hours each day at the store, polishing job skills and earning job recommendations. Not only do the Haskells and Overbey work in this field because they felt called to serve, they also hope to set a good example for their own teenage children that God wants them to help all those in need. Garage Sale Oultet is launching its first fund-
raiser from 4:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20, with a silent auction and spaghetti dinner at the Heritage Center in Lakeville, 20110 Holyoke Ave. “We’re here to see Dakota County and the people of Dakota County succeed,” Kathleen Haskell said. The store accepts donations, but because their industry is seasonal, the store’s biggest challenge right now is additional storage to stow out-ofseason items. Kathleen Haskell urges anyone with storage space they would be willing to donate to contact the store at 952-807-1515. Garage Sale Outlet also seeks volunteers to work shifts during the week. Those volunteers enable the Haskells and Overbey to set up partnerships with other organizations to serve a larger area of people. Store hours are Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We started this literally to try to be a blessing to the people because there is a lot of need out there,” Kathleen said, “but I can’t tell you how many people have been a blessing to us.”
Garage Sale Outlet, a secondhand store started in Rosemount last summer, moved to 20730 Holyoke Avenue, Suite 150, in Lakeville in early March. The new location is located next door to the local food shelf as the store aims to serve those in need in Dakota County. (Photo by Jennifer Chick)

Apple Valley’s Clausen optimistic about kindergarten bill Voluntary program aims to help close achievement gap by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
First-term Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, is carrying one of the most watched bills in the 2013 legislative session. The former Rosemount High School principal said this week he is optimistic his proposal to fund voluntary all-day kindergarten will pass in the House and the Senate. “This is a priority for a lot of people in the Senate,” he said. Clausen views the bill as not only a way to improve early learning outcomes and close the achievement gap between white and minority students but also to create curricular equity among school districts. About half of Minnesota children attend allday kindergarten, according to Senate DFLers.
Districts currently offering the programs are paying for them through the general fund or about 17 percent of children’s families are paying fees. Clausen said waiting lists and lottery systems are not equitable ways to offer the program. Whether or not a child has the opportunity to attend all-day kindergarten shouldn’t be determined by what district a child lives in, Clausen said. Clausen’s bill would need $130 million per year to pay for the statewide voluntary offering. Most of that money will be used to pay kindergarten teachers who will deliver the instruction. The Burnsville-EaganSavage School District concluded test scores of the district’s students who all had free, full-day kindergarten in the 2003-04 school year were higher than students who were enrolled in the 2004-05 year when the all-day program was dropped and transfer students who joined the 2003-04 class
when it entered first-grade. The boost was sustained over the next three years, with some drop-off by the third grade. The district restored free, full-day kindergarten this school year, using its allocation of compensatory aid — state money based on the number of students who qualify for free or subsidized meals — to fund the program. Clausen said it is extremely important for the state to invest in children because the returns will be paid back through higher achieving students and more skilled workers. He said studies have shown that better early childhood education results in graduates who go on to have improved basic skills, have fewer criminal justice contacts and earn more money in the workplace. The bill has some Republican supporters. Republican Dean Urdahl, Grove City, is an author of the companion legislation in the House. Another education bill
would allow students to refinance college loans at a lower interest rate. Another would provide a tax credit to Minnesota graduates who stay in the state to work.
The zoo
Greg Clausen that is receiving attention is a proposed two-year tuition freeze at the University of Minnesota. Clausen said Minnesota graduates carry the third-highest average debt level (nearly $30,000) among students in the 50 states, and Minnesota is fifth highest among the percentage of students carrying college debt (71 percent). The bill is a recognition that tuition costs are burdening students, and Clausen said lawmakers are proposing other measures to help college students. Another provision
in addition to providing hundreds of jobs.
In the district Clausen plans to have another town hall meeting in the district from 1-2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at Galaxie Library in Apple Valley. He said he will attend as long as the Senate is not in session. The meeting’s focus will be on education, which Clausen said is a very important issue in the area. Clausen said his recent joint town hall with Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, was very positive. He viewed the bipartisan meeting as an extension of what he and Wills both campaigned on, which was reaching across the political aisle. “It was a good demonstration of that,” he said of the meeting that attracted about 150 people.
A proposal that could have a significant local impact would be the acceptance of the Minnesota Zoo’s $15 million request to fund capital improvements. The request includes money to refurbish the Discover Bay and snow monkey exhibits, among other work. Another request to help the zoo in Apple Valley would provide $4.75 million for zoo programs through the Legacy Amendment funding. Clausen said he is supporting both requests since the zoo has such a wide impact on Dakota County. With an estimated 1.4 Email Tad Johnson at million visitors annually, tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com. the zoo has a $146 million impact on the local economy, according to Clausen,
Burnsville City Council sticks with VenuWorks But expectations heightened for arts center by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The company that manages Burnsville’s Performing Arts Center will be offered the job again, but with new contract terms and at least one City Council member’s admonition that the facility stop losing money. The council voted unanimously April 16 to negotiate a new contract with VenuWorks, the Iowa-based arena, theater and convention-center firm that has managed the PAC since it opened in January 2009. The council chose VenuWorks over St. Paul-based LHR Hospitality Management, which specializes in hotel management. VenuWorks was recommended by a committee that included top city staffers and three members of the PAC’s citizen advisory commission. The group interviewed both companies, which answered the city’s request for proposals.
VenuWorks’ current contract ends Dec. 31. The five-year contract gave both parties annual termination options after two years. This time the council ordered city staffers to negotiate a contract of no more than two years, with renewal options. The city will also seek to negotiate new performance measures recommended by the advisory commission. They call on VenuWorks to boost adjusted gross revenue, minimize “dark days” when spaces aren’t rented, boost rentals during nonpeak times and find other revenue sources, including sponsorships and naming rights. Council Member Dan Kealey said it’s time to end the city-subsidized operating losses the PAC has recorded each year. “The number we expect is a zero operating loss, period,” said Kealey, who also suggested the shortened contract period. City-hired consultants predicted annual losses of up to $350,000 even before the PAC opened. Progress made under VenuWorks isn’t enough, Kealey said. “We’re not traveling that road
as quickly as we’d like,” he said. “We’re sort of scratching our way there.” Sal Mondelli, who chairs the Burnsville Performing Arts Center Advisory Commission, told the council that in round numbers, annual losses have shrunk from $540,000 to $430,000 to $350,000 to $250,000. The year-end projection for 2013 is $239,000, which would beat the budgeted forecast, he said. “So from a business perspective, we’re going in the right direction?” Mayor Elizabeth Kautz asked. “Yes, ma’am,” Mondelli replied. “The first few years were a little bit rocky,” he said. The PAC has gone through three executive directors and needed time to establish itself with booking agents and acts, he said. VenuWorks still doesn’t attract enough concerts or corporate events, though it does well with theater, Kealey said. He lavished praise on current Executive Director Brian Luther, crediting him with the improved performance. “The question is, does he have the right company behind
him that has the tools” to make more progress? Kealey said. Council Member Mary Sherry recalled getting citizen complaints about the PAC’s management after it opened. “We took heat galore in many different forms and flavors for a long time,” Kealey said, calling Luther a “godsend.”
VenuWorks recommended
The company’s “consistent improvement in the budget in the last three years,” its “solid financials” and the “strength” of Luther make it the right choice, said a report from Mondelli and commission Vice Chair Mark Pevan, who served on the team evaluating the proposals. “The team liked the creative ideas and strength in programming daytime use and weddings that LHR Hospitality brought to the table,” the report said. But the company lacked a “clear plan” for installing an executive director “or much cash on hand in its financials,” the report said. Its experience “seemed limited to program- John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email ming hotels.” VenuWorks touted recent john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

successes in a pair of news releases this month. A sold-out show by comedian Ralphie May on March 30 ended a “record-breaking” first quarter of 2013, the company said. A record 23,691 people visited the PAC from Jan. 1 to March 31, and it notched its strongest first-quarter financial performance, the company said. First-quarter revenue topped last year’s by $24,031. In a news release, Luther credited “increased programming” as well as new menu items – sandwiches, wraps, salads and desserts – that boosted food and beverage revenue. “I’m looking forward to our strongest and most successful financial year,” Luther said. “Based on the healthy firstquarter results, we anticipate the year will continue to break records. “BPAC has experienced tremendous growth and building awareness, which provides more opportunities to bring in additional arts and entertainment.”

Fairview merger talks end SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Sanford Health ended merger talks with Fairview Health Services days after its proposal was met with dissent. Fairview’s possible merger with the University of Minnesota, proposed by U President Eric Kaler in January, has also come to an end. In the wake of the April 10 announcement, Fairview is now turning to the search for a new CEO. Fairview has been without a CEO since mid-2012, when CEO Mark Eustis stepped down following Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s scathing report on Fairview’s use of debt collector Accretive. The merger decisions came days after Swanson held a tense public hearing, grilling Sanford executives on the South Dakota health system’s connection to philanthropist and University of Minnesota alumnus T. Denny Sanford. In addition, legislation was introduced that would prevent Fairview from merging with an out-of-state system for a year. Sanford Health CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft wrote in an April 10 letter that Sanford Health goes
“where we are invited.� “I am now concerned that the good reputation of Sanford may be injured by a process that only intended the highest of ideals and integrity for what we believed to be a compelling solution to the challenges facing health care delivery today and in the future,� he wrote. Swanson said in a statement on April 10 that she hadn’t spoken with either Fairview or University of Minnesota officials since receiving Krabbenhoft’s letter. Fairview board Chairman Chuck Mooty said he was disappointed in Sanford’s decision to withdraw from the merger discussions. “Our initial findings about a Fairview/Sanford partnership were positive and the Fairview Board was committed to fully understanding its potential benefit to our patients and communities,� Mooty said in a statement. “However, we respect Sanford’s decision and our board’s current assessment of a Sanford partnership will stop.� Fairview will also now focus on strengthening its partnership with the University of Minnesota. It acquired the University of Minnesota Medical Center in 1997. “Clearly, we need to ensure strategic alignment between us before
we can advance new ideas for the future,� Mooty said in the statement. “However, we feel it is not the time to discuss any proposal that involves the university acquiring Fairview. As a result, our work to evaluate that proposal will stop.� Despite the conclusion to the merger proposals, Rep. Joe Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights, is moving forward with his legislation to regulate mergers between Minnesota and out-of-state health systems because the issue continues to exist. “Another non-Minnesota-based entity could still try to acquire Fairview and we would once again be in the same potential situation where the University of Minnesota Medical Center would be not under Minnesota control,� he said in a statement. “The bottom line is that the University of Minnesota Hospitals ought to always be controlled by folks based right here in Minnesota.� He is planning to hold hearings in the House Commerce Committee and is requesting Mooty attend, according to the statement.

Chiropractor’s license suspension stayed Gear had inappropriate relationships with two patients by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A Burnsville chiropractor who had a sexual relationship with one patient and inappropriate nonsexual relations with another will be allowed to continue practicing under a settlement with the Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners. The board’s one-year suspension of Angela Marie Gear’s license was stayed under a Feb. 14 settlement agreement. The settlement includes several conditions and a $3,000 civil fine.
Gear practiced in Eagan for 11 years and has a practice listed with the board as Gear Chiropractic Care, 14623 County Road 11 in Burnsville. Gear had sex with a patient within two years of ending their doctor-patient relationship, according to the board. The pair also exchanged sensitive personal information — some sexually explicit — from March 12 to May 27, 2009, when Gear treated her five times for spinal disorders, the board said. The patient was a massage therapy student who had taken Gear’s clinical science courses at an area school in 2008. They became friends. Gear received gifts from another patient she’d treated for 10 years beginning in 2000. The woman was treated with chiropractic
for musculoskeletal pain and with acupuncture for emotional health problems. Gifts included childcare and home-maintenance services and clothing for Gear’s children, the board found. She accepted $3,000 in May 2010 to buy a vehicle but said it was a loan she’d been repaying in $100 installments. According to the board, the woman ended her relationship with Gear at the recommendation of her psychologist and psychiatrist, who believed it had grown “inappropriately close.� Gear said she ended the relationship because the patient didn’t follow her recommendations. Under conditions of the stayed suspension, Gear must have a third adult in the room when examining
Apple Valley bike sale benefits kids Rick Anderson learned to fix bikes when he worked in a bike shop beginning at age 8 in his hometown of Austin, Minn. For the fifth year, the Apple Valley resident is using his bike repair knowhow to benefit the local youth-mentoring nonprofit Kids ’n Kinship. Anderson will hold his annual bike sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 18, at his home at 12738 Ethelton Way. The sale is open to the public. There will be 110 bikes for sale, ranging in price from $20 to $300. Anyone who purchases a bike can enter to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the Famous Dave’s restaurant in Apple Valley. Anderson, an insurance agent by profession, is a bike repair hobbyist who refurbishes bikes for the sale. Some of the
bikes are donated, and others are purchased by him at garage sales throughout the year. Anderson chose Kids ’n Kinship as the sale’s benefactor because he and his wife, Lise, have served as volunteers with the organization, mentoring an Eagan boy for several years. In his previous four sales, Anderson has fixed and sold more than 400 bikes, generating more than $22,000 for Kids ’n Kinship. Last year, he received a Congressional Certificate of Special Recognition from U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, for his work with the sale. For more information about this year’s sale, contact Anderson at 952322-4729 or ricka@pcgagencies.com. —Andrew Miller
or treating a patient. An exception is at her Burnsville location, where the door to the treatment room must remain open during patient encounters and the clinic manager must have direct line of sight into the treatment room. Gear must complete two ethics courses, undergo chemical-dependency evaluation and have no nonclinical social contact with current or former patients except loved ones or significant others with whom Gear had a relationship before initiating treatment. After three years, Gear can petition the board to have the conditions removed from her license. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Business Golden Valley business expands into Lakeville Poquet Auto Sales moves into old Airlake Ford-Mercury building by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A respected Golden Valley automotive retail and repair business has opened a branch in the former Airlake Ford-Mercury dealership in Lakeville. Interest and demand from south-of-the-river clients drew owner Colin Sievers to open Poquet Auto Sales in Lakeville. “We do sell a lot of cars to people in the south metro,” Sievers said. “We’ve had a lot of feedback over the years that people wish we had sales and service in the south metro area. It’s something we’ve been thinking about for quite some time.” He said they looked all over the south metro for a suitable location and the former Airlake FordMercury building, located at 21100 Cedar Avenue, offered everything they needed to take their first expansion step. The building, purchased for $1.1 million Feb. 15, provides ample space for its sales force and service repair area. Poquet Auto Sales specializes in selling oneowner, low-mileage lease returns of all makes and models that are one to three years old, with a focus on imports including Nissan, Honda, BMW and Lexus. Scott Butler, service
director for both Poquet Auto Sales locations, said their service department is a “one-stop shop” for all automotive needs, including oil changes, transmission work, scheduled maintenance and engine work. The Lakeville location is equipped with 12 hoists and 16 bays where its master ASE-certified technicians repair all makes and models of vehicles, including cars, vans, SUVs and commercial trucks. The company in 2011 and 2012 earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award, having met strict eligibility requirements including an exemplary client rating and abiding by Angie’s List operational guidelines. “Only a fraction of the businesses rated on Angie’s List can claim the sterling service record of being a Super Service Award winner because we set a high bar,” Angie’s List founder Angie Hicks said. “The fact that Poquet Auto can claim Super Service Award status speaks volumes about its dedication to consumers.” The company’s Lakeville location will help speed processing time to satisfy growing demand from retail clients. Open for vehicle repairs since April 8, Sievers said he is targeting July 1 as the Lakeville location’s sales floor open date, after
about $100,000 of interior renovation work to the building is complete. He said he expects to have an inventory of about 100 vehicles on the lot. Once the weather warms, the building’s exterior will be painted to match the interior and landscaping will be installed. Sievers said they will continue the company’s tradition of community involvement at its new location. Noting the Lakeville building is within a Poquet Auto service manager Andrew Kline, owner Colin Sievers, and service director 3-mile radius of three Scott Butler stand in front of the new Poquet Auto location in Lakeville at Cedar high schools (Farmington Avenue and County Road 50.

Mega Meet kicks off Panthers outdoor season Lakeville girls, boys track teams ready to compete under the sun by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Saturday’s Mega Meet at Lakeville North High School usually is one of the biggest early-season track and field meets with more than 30 teams in contention. In the past, snow covering the track hasn’t even been a consideration. Most years, the track has been clear for a month. This year it is one of the first times high school track and field teams will be able to run outdoors. The Panthers are anxious to see what they have. Several returning athletes had success in 2012 and the numbers are up on both sides, leading to deeper lineups. The girls will be able to compete with anyone given the number of talented distance runners, sprinters and hurdlers back. Distance runners were among the athletes that
weren’t stifled by the extended winter because they’re used to training in bad weather. Taylor Perkins returns for the girls team after placing seventh in the 1,600-meter run and 15th in the 3,200 at state last June. “She put in a lot of time on the road and in the weight room this winter,” head coach Todd Endersbe said. “We’re excited to see what she can do this spring, especially coming off a terrific (cross country) season.” Last fall she finished seventh at the Class AA state girls meet. Perkins leads a distance group that includes Elle Severson, Chloee Sagmoe and Riley Broughten. They hope to generate points for the Panthers this spring. “A core group of distance runners also worked diligently in the offseason,” Endersbe
said. Three girls return from a 4x100 relay that finished ninth at state last season. Kendall Naatjes, Alexa Trakalo and Claire Seivert are the returnees and give the Panther girls a strong group of sprinters along with Emily Okins. Lindsey Smits, who was third in the conference in the 100 hurdles, returns along with Michaela Preachuk. High jumpers Katie Dillie and Amy Ferguson hope to prove the Panthers can leap as high as they can run fast. Endersbe said he is encouraged by the number of talented newcomers this spring. “Many new faces with more quality athletes than last year,” Endersbe said. “We brought up some very good athletes that will stand out in the Lakeville North’s Taylor Perkins runs at the Class AA state track and field meet in future.” 2012.

Panther girls lacrosse making the most of spring New coach has high expectations for Lakeville North by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
When word of a snowstorm spread throughout the metro last week, hearts sank, especially those hoping to play sports this spring. The Lakeville North girls lacrosse team certainly fit in the disappointed category. They were hoping to practice Friday afternoon on the turf at Lakeville North. New head coach Mo Gaitan stuck to her plan and told the team to meet her on the turf a half hour before practice. “I said ‘(athletic director Bob) Ertl asked us to shovel this snow,’” Gaitan told her team. “We made a deal. We were all frustrated.” Instead, the only ex- The Lakeville North girls lacrosse team built snowmen ercise they were going as part of a surprise team-building exercise last Friday to do was the team- after the snowstorm.

Cougar lacrosse hopes to rebound after tough 2012 Several players are back armed with more experience by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville South boys lacrosse team enters the 2013 season armed with something it didn’t have in 2012, which is experience. Last year was a growing season for the Cougars. The Cougars had a tough outing, going 0-9 in the South Suburban Conference and 2-11 overall with a young lineup. The players recognized they had several aspects of the game to work on. Being young just
meant they had still had time to get there and prove themselves. “A lot of the players recognized their potential to improve their skill and put in a lot of work in the offseason,” head coach Tim Bohmert said. Several of the current players have been with the South program with several games worth of experience under their helmet. The group this year wants to define Lakeville South as successful. “I think their mindset is creating a new identity for Lake-
ville South lacrosse,” Bohmert said. “Making a name for the program.” The good news is that while other teams lost many of their players to graduation, the Cougars had just four seniors leave the team last year. Aarec Larsen and Leo Steinmetz are back on the attack with Weston Baumann at midfield and Aaren Larsen on defense. Back in net is the team’s leading goalkeeper Anson Fish, who Bohmert feels has improved a lot since last year. Bohmert also called out Lo-
gan Payne as one of the top newcomers on defense. With a strong lineup back, an improved record is one goal, but improvement all around is paramount. Bohmert said the goal is to peak by playoffs. Last season the Cougars gave Lakeville North a run in the Section 3 tournament, losing 11-9. The South Suburban Conference should be tough again with defending state champion Eastview along with top-15 programs such as Eagan (No. 4), Rosemount (No. 8) and
Lakeville North (No. 13) filling South’s lineup. The Minnesota State High School League expanded the playoffs from four sections to eight and moved Lakeville South to a new Section 1 with other Rochester schools along with Owatonna and Farmington. Lakeville South is scheduled to play against Bloomington Kennedy on Monday at Lakeville North. Email Andy Rogers andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The boys game is more physical and requires more padding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What gets me is the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so new still and so growing,â&#x20AC;?

Andrew Anyaogu is back after placing third in the 100 and 200 at Section 1AA meet last spring. He also was a key member of the third-place 4x100 relay that should be strong again with Nick Valentini, Kyrell Newell, Ken Dejvongsa, Derek Duong, Austin Hegseth, Michael Beuning, Jamiah Newell and Justin Greene in the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sprint crew should be very deep,â&#x20AC;?

Major crash on McAndrews
Police, fire and emergency medical workers responded to a three-vehicle accident with multiple injuries at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at McAndrews Road and Garden View Drive in Apple Valley. According to Apple Valley police, a Jeep Liberty traveling westbound on McAndrews collided with a Dodge Caravan when the southbound Caravan failed to stop for a red light; the force of the initial collision then pushed the Caravan into a Ford Windstar. The Caravan’s driver, a 28-year-old Apple Valley woman in the employ of a group home for adults, was transporting four of the group home’s clients at the time of the crash. A helicopter was summoned to the scene for emergency airlift of one of the victims. Investigation continues as the Minnesota State Patrol undertakes a reconstruction of the crash scene.

Flint Hills Resources will apply energy efficiency and emission standards to a series of proposed projects at its Pine Bend refinery in Rosemount as part of an agreement with key environmental organizations, according to a release issued by the company this week. The company will also donate $1 million to expand Project Green Fleet, a clean air program it helped found in 2005. Last November, Flint Hills announced plans to make more than $400 million in improvements to several processing units at the refinery in an effort to improve reliability, reduce key emissions, and improve its ability to convert crude oil into transportation fuel. The projects involve replacing three less-efficient heaters with two new state-of-the-art heaters, upgrading an existing process heater, and making improvements to the refinery’s cooling towers. Once complete the new and modified equipment and process improvements are expected to allow the refinery to operate closer to its current design capacity of 320,000 barrels per day. The company engaged the environmental community through the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy and the Environmental Integrity Project on ways to improve the projects prior to formal regulatory review. As a result, Flint Hills agreed to make a number of adjustments to its permit proposal, including: • Adopting a more energy efficient design and operation plan for the new and modified heaters • Setting stack exhaust temperature limits for the heaters, which will ensure the equipment is operated in a way that minimizes energy use • Establishing heating
value limits on fuels used in the heaters, which ensures the use of efficient fuels such as natural gas and high-quality fuel gas • Agreeing to additional enforceable limits on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from the refinery’s cooling towers and regular monitoring • Taking stringent sulfur dioxide limits (S02) on the combustion of fuel gas used by the heaters • Conducting third-party energy efficiency audits on key refinery process units and heaters, and exploring future energy efficiency opportunities “We thought it was important to reach out to environmental leaders and look for ways to work together to improve the projects ahead of the traditional regulatory review process,” said Scott Lindemann, vice president and manufacturing manager at Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend refinery. “We are very pleased with the result, which is a better overall project.” The Pine Bend refinery improvement projects are expected to create as many as 4 million hours of new work, increasing the current temporary contract workforce at Pine Bend from a daily average of about 500 to more than 1,000 over at least the next five years. Pine Bend currently employs more than 900 people full-time and can have between 400 and 2,000 contract workers on-site on any given day. Construction is expected to begin next year. Since 1997 the Pine Bend refinery has lowered emissions of traditional criteria pollutants by approximately 70 percent, while increasing production to help meet demand for transportation fuel. The refinery has reduced total on-site emissions in
10 of the last 11 years, and its emissions per barrel are currently 50 percent lower than the industry average for large refineries.The new projects will result in a decrease in NOx and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions.
Green Fleet Flint Hills will donate $1 million toward clean air programs that focus on reducing particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ground level ozone in the spirit of Project Green Fleet, an awardwinning program led by Environment Initiative. Flint Hills was a founding sponsor of the program, which started in 2005. Project Green Fleet is responsible for reducing 23.55 tons of particulate matter, the equivalent of eliminating emissions from 350,000 cars each year. Flint Hills is also a primary sponsor of Environmental Initiative’s Clean Air Dialogue, which is looking for new or expanded opportunities to reduce emissions. With the new funding, Flint Hills will work with Environmental Initiative, Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, and Environmental Integrity Project to determine specific opportunities for improving air quality and building on the success of Project Green Fleet. “Minnesota has outstanding air quality and we want to help make sure it stays that way,” Lindemann said. “We greatly appreciate the work of Environmental Initiative and the help of all of its sponsors over the years in making Project Green Fleet one of the most effective strategies for improving air quality in the country.” Project Green Fleet is supported by a broad coSee FLINT, 15A

BOMBINGS, from 1A He said people were not running because they were too exhausted after completing the marathon. “Nobody could work up to a jog,” he said. “You’re just walking as fast as you can.” His voice cracking, he described the shock of the attack, stating the situation felt “surreal.” He said after the explosions, he did not feel safe, “because I know it can be anywhere. … I always knew it was just a matter of time before something happened on U.S. soil again.” Alvin and Jackie Ghylin of Lakeville are also set to BERKVAM, from 1A on moving back at some point. “This just sped up the process,” Berkvam said. Going to Northfield presents Berkvam with a new set of challenges. Northfield has qualified for state three times, but not since 1932. The Raiders went 7-19 last season, winning just three games after Dec. 18. It was the most successful season the Raiders have had in three years. “They haven’t had a consistent winning program for years,” Berkvam said. “I’m leaving a program (Lakeville North) that can perennially make the state tournament every year to one that hasn’t in 81 years. That will be a challenge in my mind.” It’s Berkvam’s goal to build up a program that he’s followed long before TASTE, from 1A
return from the marathon safe and unharmed, although they worried about each other in the confusion after the explosions. Jackie Ghylin was running in the race and said she was about one-quarter mile away from the finish line when the explosions erupted. She said she did not hear the bombs go off, because of all the cheering from onlookers who lined the storefronts. She only found out that there was a problem when officials suddenly put up barricades and informed runners the race was canceled. Her confusion turned to worry; Alvin Ghylin
could be at the finish line when people on the streets informed her of the explosions. “I was kind of in disbelief,” Jackie Ghylin said. “Of course, I was worried about my husband. He had considered watching at the finish and knew that that was about the time I’d get in. I was in shock that it was really happening.” Alvin Ghylin had been taking a nap in their hotel room, located two blocks from the finish line, when he heard what sounded like garbage truck collection activity in the alley near them. “I didn’t think anything of it,” Alvin Ghylin said. He soon realized it was
explosions when their son Curtis called from Minnesota and told him to turn on the television. Cellphone service was shut down, so he went out trying to find his wife. “The entire lobby and street was full of people,” Alvin Ghylin said of the area where the race is held. He said the area where the explosions occurred were across from a VIP seating area. Police barricaded the area and warned people to stay off the street. “There are a lot of people standing by, making sure nobody goes close to that area,” Jackie Ghylin said. “It’s really a bummer. It’s such a wonderful thing,
and somebody ruined it for “would attract that level of a lot of people.” violence.” Lakeville Police Chief Local security Tom Vonhof said he is Although the bomb- not planning any kind of ings happened at a busy changes in the way the city public event, Lakeville of- conducts security for comficials said there are no munity events, but said he plans to increase security would be making changes at popular public events in if there were specific inthe city, like Pan-O-Prog, formation about threats to Lakeville’s annual summer this area and noted there festival. has never been security is“I doubt we’d have sues at Pan-O-Prog. any more additional secuHe said the events are rity than what we already already heavily monitored have,” City Administrator with police.

he arrived at Lakeville High School. Berkvam graduated from Northfield High School in 1981. His father coached at Northfield, and Berkvam lived there basically through college. “The first scores I look at in the paper after the Lakeville ones are always Northfield,” Berkvam said. He’s not worried about making the switch to coaching boys. “To me, basketball is basketball,” Berkvam said. Still, it wasn’t easy to leave Lakeville. Berkvam has achieved several milestones in the past 23 seasons. He has 419 career victories and led the Panthers to three state championships, with the latest coming in 2010. He also coached several of his daughters,
including Cassie, who is a senior at Lakeville North. When Cassie graduates in June, Andy Berkvam said it will be easier to coach a different team. “Lakeville is a great place to coach and teach,” Berkvam said. “Once you establish a program, it becomes a family. It runs very smoothly now. I took over a program that was a losing program and made it into a winning program and left it in better shape than when I started.” The Panthers were annual contenders under Berkvam, participating in the section finals 15 out of the last 16 years. Each season and state tournament told a different story, In 2001, senior Tasha Martin scored the team’s last 10 points in the state championship game a
year after tearing her ACL, the main ligament in her knee. In 2002, the Panthers were in the midst of one of the best stretches of basketball in Minnesota history with 40 consecutive victories. They were led by Liz Podominick, a future Minnesota Golden Gopher and McDonald’s All American. The 2010, the Panthers went undefeated and won the state championship. They featured five players who now play Division I basketball, including Rachel Banham and Cassie Rochel. “It’s hard to pick out certain players,” Berkvam said. “There were so many. I was certainly blessed with really good teams.” Berkvam will bring a brand of basketball to Northfield that emphasizes team play above all.
Podominick was the only player in Berkvam’s tenure who averaged more than 20 points a season. “We don’t put one kid on a pedestal,” Berkvam said. “Everybody has a role on the team and that always seemed to work pretty good. People would ask me, ‘Why don’t you turn Rachel (Banham) loose?’ I didn’t play her when we got ahead. I had all 18 kids play off the bench. I never emphasized the scoring part of it. We always got all of our kids in the game.” Winning and losing was part of the game, but as Berkvam has gotten older it’s become about the interaction with the student-athletes. “I look forward to getting those letters from former players,” Berkvam said. “That means more to me now.” He said the Lakeville
North girls basketball program is in good hands and should remain an annual contender. Berkvam said two of his assistant coaches, Brian Blascziek and Shelly Soule, were planning to apply for the head coaching position. “There’s no teaching jobs in Lakeville so I don’t think there’s a lot of applicants,” Berkvam said. Berkvam will remain a physical education teacher at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville. “They’ve got great players coming up, but change is good,” he said. “I think the girls need a change, too. They’ll respond to whoever is there.”

Hatch receives Minnesota DFL award Former Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch, a resident of Burnsville, has been named the recipient of the “Joan and Walter Mondale Award for Public Service,” given by the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party. Hatch will receive the award at the HumphreyMondale Dinner, April 20, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. In 1979, Hatch served
as chair of the Second Congressional District and a member of the DFL Executive Committee. He was DFL party chairman from 1980-82. Hatch was commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce from 1983-90, and was elected to serve as Minnesota’s Attorney General in 1998 and 2002. He ran for governor in 2006, narrowly losing to Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Boarding ‘The Orphan Train’ theater and arts calendar FHS students transported back in time in spring play by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Farmington High School students are putting the finishing touches on their spring production – finding stage shoes that fit, altering costumes, studying scripts, testing lighting and memorizing lines – hoping everything will be ready for opening night Thursday. “The Orphan Train” by Aurand Harris is a historical played based on the lives of orphans sent on trains from New York City to the Midwest at the turn of the 20th century hoping to be adopted by a family along the line. Directed by English teacher Beth Breiland, the play follows the lives of nine orphans on the train. “It was a really sad time,” said junior Lizzie Cummings who plays a
lady. Senior Mitch Delaney, who plays the orphan Danny, agreed and said there is a lot to learn from the story that still matters more than 100 years later. “A lot of things don’t change, especially for kids here in American today. They’re still homeless kids,” he said. “I’m hoping audiences learn something from the play,” Breiland said. The set is technically simple with a line of chairs representing the train and a minimalist background, but Breiland said the acting is not easy. The characters experience “waves of emotion” and must convey effectively to the audience. The other challenge for Breiland is half the cast has not been on stage before. She said she is pleased how everyone has worked hard in the past six weeks to prepare for the production. “It was nice to give everybody good parts and good personalities that they brought out,” Breiland said.
She said she told the students to treat the fictional characters like they are real people, adding a level of authenticity and respect to the acting. “It’s a lot different with the gestures and everything that differs from back then,” Delaney said. The cast is made up of 21 students, including a 6-year-old student, and five crew members. “My hope is that (students) learn something about our country and history. They learn about the history of children in America,” Breiland said. “Hopefully people leave saying, ‘This was interesting.’” “The Orphan Train” runs three nights at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 18, until Saturday, April 20, at the Boeckman Middle School Auditorium, 800 Denmark Ave. Tickets are available at the ticket window 45 minutes before the show begins.

Thisweekend Percussion ensemble Crash is crazy creative Group set to perform April 28 in Lakeville by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Twin Cities composer Mary Ellen Childs pulled out all the stops for her percussion ensemble Crash. Among the performance pieces are â&#x20AC;&#x153;DrumRoll,â&#x20AC;? which features drummers on wheels, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sight of Hand,â&#x20AC;? which incorporates hamboningstyle dance and baseball coaching signals. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the wild visual spectacle of the eponymous piece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crash,â&#x20AC;? with six cymbal players on roller blades and other modes of transportation. Crash is set to take the stage of the Lakeville Area Arts Center on Sunday, April 28, as part of the ongoing Highview Hills Coffee Concert series.
The concert will be just the second time in the concert seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six seasons to feature a percussion ensemble. Focused mainly on classical music, the series delved into the percussion arena for the first time when it hosted the Minnesota Percussion Trio in April 2009. For Crash, as with all the concerts, there will be complimentary coffee and refreshments in the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; informal cabaret setting. Crash founder and composer Childs, who conceived of the group as an integration of music and dance and theater, will introduce and discuss her work at the Lakeville show. In addition to her work with Crash, Childs also composes â&#x20AC;&#x153;purely musicalâ&#x20AC;? concert works and has received commissions from the Kronos Quar-
tet, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Walker Art Center. Her CD releases include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kilterâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream House.â&#x20AC;? A fan of the accordion, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created about a dozen works that include the instrument. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee concert series concludes May 19 with the Bell Alma Duo of Kathy Kienzle, principal harp of the Minnesota Orchestra, and Michele Frisch, principal flute of the Minnesota Opera. All the concerts are on Sundays at 2 p.m. at the arts center at 20965 Holyoke Ave. in downtown Lakeville. Tickets are $14.50 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and are available online at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com.
