On March 14, the School Board unani- mously approved a $3.77 million purchase agree- ment with Cobblestone Lake for a 22.4-acre site at Diamond Path and 160th Street. Scheduled to open in fall 2017, the school will provide relief to over- crowding at Parkview Ele- mentary and other nearby district schools, officials say. Though enrollment has remained stable with about 800 students in the past 10 years, Parkview expects to face a rapid increase in enrollment in the next few years due to new housing development within its attendance area and the district’s new all-day kindergarten program. A $4.3 million addition and remodeling project is currently under construction at the ele- mentary school to address this growth. The property — locat- ed at the corner of where Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount and Empire Township meet — is one of three sites that the dis- trict considered. Officials also considered another Lakeville property as well as land in Rosemount and Apple Valley. The Traditions site’s location will enable the district to alleviate over- crowding at several dis- trict schools and meet the needs of a growing area, said Jeff Solomon, direc- tor of finance and opera- tions for District 196. The site will also re- quire fewer students to move from an existing elementary school to the new school as part of attendance-area adjust- ments, Solomon said. Land adjacent to the site is already planned for res- idential development and there is a pedestrian tun- nel beneath County Road 46 that connects the site to neighborhoods on the north side of the road. The total cost of land and construction of the new school is estimated at $29.8 million, which will be paid from the $130 mil- lion of capital improve- ments referendum that voters passed last year.

Healing in the Name of GodLakeville author tackles tough topic in new

book by Laura Adelmann

SUN THISWEEKDAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sixteen years ago, Mary J. Nelson emerged from eight rounds of che-motherapy and six weeks of radiation ready to run back to her life before cancer. But God had other plans. The Lakeville woman’s first hint of his direction for her life came just be-fore she took her first steps the Race for the Cure. “I honestly felt the Lord speak to me, ‘I don’t want you to race for them, I want you to pray for them,’ ” Nelson said. And so began her min-istry of prayer, both at Hosanna Church, Lakev-ille, and as an established Christian author. Nelson’s latest work, “Jehovah-Rapha, the God Who Heals,” pres-ents 72 short meditations and prayers featuring a mix of contemporary and Biblical accounts that of-fer comfort and hope to those in the midst of suf-fering. “This book is primar-ily a product of years and years of minister-ing to other people who are sick,” Nelson said. “Whether it’s cancer or

any other physical illness.” Nelson said she wrote the book to emphasize the true nature and character of God as revealed in the Bible and to correct mis-conceptions people may hold about God. “He is a good and faithful father who loves (people),” she said. “He’s not a cruel and vindictive father who makes them sick. I really wanted to use story-telling, from the Bible and real life min-istry I’ve been in for sev-eral years, to teach people what the Bible says about healing … and ultimately to point people to Jesus.” Nelson said her 1999 cancer diagnosis drove her to the Scriptures and prayer, and the knowl-edge she had about God dropped into her heart, allowing her to know God in a personal way. “I was blessed by a faith community who prayed for me,” Nelson

said. “I came out on the other side completely changed and transformed because I really encoun-tered a personal God in the midst of that experi-ence.” Her desire to help oth-ers through difficult cir-cumstances, whether a life-threatening diagnosis or loss of a loved one, job loss or grief, intensified after her treatment ended, and took her in directions she never imagined. Nelson said she found herself involved in prayer ministry and was com-missioned as a non-staff associate pastor at Ho-sanna in 2011. “I never saw myself in prayer ministry,” Nelson said. “But after that (Race for the Cure experience), that’s all I do now is pray for people who are sick.” Nelson is also founder and president of Soter-ion, a communications company dedicated to the health care industry. She started Prayer for the Cure, which meets the third Monday of every month from 7-9 p.m. at Hosanna for people with cancer and their loved ones. She also leads a healing prayer group that meets the second Thursday of every month at Hosanna from 7-8:30 p.m. and serves as a leader in the Sozo inner healing minis-try. Her other books in-clude, “Grace for Each Hour; Through the Breast Cancer Journey,” “Hope for Tough Times,” and “Peace for Each Hour.” Nelson and her hus-band, Howie, have two adult children, two grand-children and have been married 39 years.

Kudos for Kingsley Shores To the editor: I am writing to you as an assisted living resi-dent at Kingsley Shores

in Lakeville. This is a co-operative facility headed by acting director Debbie Manthey, assisted by di-rectors in health, mainte-nance, programming and food service. Dining is a service we all partake at times and

while it is not always what “mother used to make,” we all are getting acclimated and appreciative of their services. The kitchen is un-der the direction of Marge Temple with assistance by Jody Bixby, Karen Perrier and Theresa Cin. If the

entree is not desirable, op-tions are available includ-ing a salad bar. We are very fortunate to have as our servers young women from the seniors of the Lakeville high schools. These women are mature, sociable, always smiling and helpful in every way. Their social graces are able to satisfy the needs of all old “codgers” like me. If ever a city or organi-zation is looking for queen candidates they need to look no further than the beautiful servers at King-sley Shores.

Select fundraiser items wisely To the editor: Recently, it came to my attention that my sister’s fifth-grade class at Lake Marion Elementary is sell-ing coffee to raise money to attend Camp St. Croix. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I find it hard to have my sister sell coffee as it is against our per-sonal beliefs. I, other family members, and many friends and neighbors would like to support the schools in their endeavor but very few peo-ple I know drink coffee.

Normally, I would not express my disappointment but there was another fund-raiser that was held at the school that involved stu-dents to sell raffle tickets for a wine rack filled with wine bottles. I don’t know the ins and outs of fundraiser selection project but as a student in the district I wonder who is making these decisions. I personally believe it is silly for young children to be promoting the use of alco-hol and caffeine by minors.

Massive misunderstanding or classic ‘bait and switch’

Increase your impact with 360 Communities

by Joe NathanSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Department of Edu-cation wisely passed on an offer recently that represented, in part, a massive mis-understanding and, in part, a classic “bait and switch.” What initially appeared to be an op-portunity to bring up to $100 million to Minnesota public schools to reduce achievement gaps turned out to be a re-quest to pay a group called Equal Op-portunity Schools almost $500,000 for its consultants. That’s a pretty dramatic difference. On Feb. 25, Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassel-lius convened about 50 people from about 25 school districts to talk with representa-tives of EOS. Educators drove from as far away as Bemidji and Rochester, as well as the metro area, to attend the meeting in Roseville. The commissioner and many of the district leaders thought they were there in part to learn about a grant opportunity and try to convince EOS to give Minne-sota a grant of up to $100 million. Just a week before, Cassellius told me that Minnesota was one of a few “final-ists to receive up to $100 million from EOS.” As Osseo Public Schools Superinten-dent Kate Maguire told me via email, “We did have the impression going into the meeting that there might be a grant opportunity.” Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Dis-trict Superintendent Joe Gothard wrote: “I think everyone involved was surprised. We thought we may receive financial sup-port to increase learning opportunities for all students.” Robbinsdale Area Schools Super-intendent Carlton Jenkins wrote, “My team was initially elated to be invited to the meeting with the EOS schools, espe-cially since there seemed to be prospects for securing additional resources to in-volve more of our district’s students in

programs with rigorous curriculum.” However, about 90 minutes into the meeting, which I attended, it became clear that EOS was not giving out money – it was, in fact, asking for it. To work with a state, EOS wanted at least 20 schools to give it $24,400 each, a total of at least $488,0000. Josh Collins, MDE communications director, told me, “We have a grant writer who has been in this business for 12 years, and she had never seen anything like this situation before.” What had happened? Clearly, major misunderstanding and perhaps partly a bait and switch. In 2015, EOS announced a “Lead Higher” Initiative that “commits more than $100 million to enroll 100,000 low-income students and students of color in taking Advanced Placement and Inter-national Baccalaureate tests.” EOS said it would be “leading the largest effort ever to fully reflect America’s diversity at the highest academic levels.” EOS began working with the College Board, which sells AP tests, and International Bacca-laureate, which markets a curriculum and tests. I reviewed 14 pages of materials that EOS sent to Minnesota. Throughout the 14 pages, states are urged to apply to be part of this $100 million initiative. No-where in these pages does EOS state that it is asking at least 20 schools in a state to give it $24,400 per school as a consult-ing fee. At one point, the EOS applica-tion state officials were asked to complete mentions “subgrants to schools.” I hope EOS funders will review how this organi-zation presents itself. Shortly after the meeting, Cassellius

wrote to Reid Saaris, EOS’s founder and executive director: “As you may have rec-ognized from our discussion, the actual grant opportunity is very different than what I had anticipated. Specifically, I did not expect that districts would be expect-ed to provide funding for this initiative. This is not the right opportunity for the state at this time, and so I respectfully withdraw our interest.” Fortunately there is substantial inter-est in Minnesota for increasing the num-ber of students – including students of color and low-income students – in dual-credit courses. Although EOS focuses on AP and IB, Minnesota offers a wide array of dual-credit options. Minnesota’s expe-rience and national research show that there are many benefits to dual-credit courses: reducing the number of students who take remedial courses on entering college; saving literally thousands, some-times tens of thousands, of dollars in college costs; and increasing the number of young people who not only enter post-secondary education but graduate with a certificate or degree. Gothard, who was at the meeting, re-sponded afterward: “It was disappointing to learn the de-tails about this partnership opportunity, but we know our Commissioner is com-mitted to helping us reduce achievement gaps and open doors for all students. We will continue to offer AP, CIS (College in the Schools), concurrent enrollment and increase career pathways that allow students to enroll in college level courses when possible.” What happens next? I hope Cassellius will convene district and charter educators later this year to build on the enthusiasm at the meeting with EOS and elsewhere for expanding dual-credit opportunities to low-income students and students of color, as well as to other students. A meeting also could clarify ways to make it easier for school districts to offer these courses and retain teachers who have been trained to offer them.

First, educators should learn from each other about what’s working to ex-pand dual-credit enrollment. Hopkins Public Schools and Higher Ground Academy in St. Paul offer two of many great Minnesota dual-credit mod-els. As Hopkins Superintendent John Schultz explained to me, one of their high school graduation requirements is that all students must take a class on finan-cial literacy, offered in collaboration with North Hennepin Community College. So every Hopkins grad earns some college credit – and in an area that is excellent preparation for life after high school. Higher Ground Academy, a charter, strongly encourages virtually all of its 11th- and 12th-graders to take at least one dual-credit course, whether in the school or on a college campus, via Post-secondary Enrollment Options, or PSEO. More than 80 percent of HGA juniors and seniors do so. EOS did not respond to email or phone call requests regarding the com-missioner’s decision to withdraw from the initiative. I talked with more than a third of the districts represented and all agreed with Cassellius’ decision. I hope EOS funders will examine how this orga-nization is presenting itself and spending dollars it has received. It appears the or-ganization spends a substantial amount on staff. Its website, http://eoschools.org, shows 28 staff members. The most important thing for Minne-sota students and families is that the state learn from, build on and expand great models that have been created. There’s plenty of expertise in the state to do that. We don’t need EOS to expand opportuni-ties for students.

Hall of Fame baseball player Jackie Robinson once said, “A life is not impor-tant except in the impact it has on other lives.”   When a person makes a positive im-pact in the life of another, it produces a lasting legacy. Being a positive force in another person’s life can make all the difference in the trajectory of their life story. It could be as simple as smiling at someone, or listening to a person tell you their troubles. Sometimes, as in Jackie Robinson’s case, it takes courage to set an example for others to follow. Ultimately, when we are intentional about impacting others, there are immeasurable benefits to the entire community.  360 Communities has a wide array of options for anyone looking to make an impact in Dakota County. Our staff and more than 1,300 volunteers work to pre-vent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency. Each program area works in concert so that we can provide the best support. Whether a person enters our food shelf, a shelter, a resource center, or a family support worker’s office in a school, we are ask-ing questions to see what problems they are facing and what resources they might need to help them succeed. In 2015, 18,000 people were positively impacted by 360 Communities. Here are some ex-amples: • A woman who was controlled, threatened, and beaten by an abusive boyfriend.

• A first-time father who is learning parenting skills to help his child build the cognitive and social skills to be ready for kindergarten.  • A retiree who ran out of savings and couldn’t afford medication or groceries. • A home child care provider who is enhancing her skills and training to better assist the children under her care to be ready to learn once they start school. • A child whose father is not in the picture and whose mother is working two low wage jobs to make ends meet. • A rape survivor who has lost her sense of security. The barriers to success that our cli-ents face are wide-ranging, often com-plex, and require multiple services and resources to address. With a holistic approach and collaboration with other agencies, 360 Communities is able to change the game for people with hope, support, and much more. 360 Communi-ties has piloted across agency programs a Self-Sufficiency Matrix: an index that tracks a person’s progress over time through a wide array of health indica-tors, from food insecurity, to safety, to housing stability and more. Eighty-eight percent of the clients in the pilot showed

significant progress toward their self-sufficiency goals.  360 Communities is changing lives and strengthening com-munities to a new measurable degree. And community support is integral to our success. By donating, volunteering, or participating in an upcoming event, you can help us have a major impact on the health of your community. Visit 360Communities.org to find out more about the ways you can get involved and make an impact in your community through 360 Communities, such as: • During the remaining weeks of March, you can have a greater impact on hunger when you support a 360 Commu-nities food shelf. Minnesota FoodShare’s March Campaign is one of the best op-portunities of the year to stretch your food donation dollars. Not only does 360 Communities have access to discount food programs year-round, but during March, every donation to our network of five Dakota County food shelves qualifies 360 Communities for a propor-tional share of Minnesota FoodShare’s grant money. • On April 27, you can show your soli-darity with survivors of sexual assault by participating in the Seventh Annual Sexual Assault Awareness Walk in Apple Valley. There will be a short program be-ginning at 7:30 p.m., followed by a can-dlelight walk at the city of Apple Valley’s municipal building. • On May 21, 360 Communities’ Sec-ond Annual Steps for Success benefit walk will be held at Thomson Reuters in Eagan. Form teams and raise money to support our innovative Partners For

Success school-based program. Look for registration details at 360Communities.org. A recent study by the University of Minnesota showed that for every dollar invested in Partners For Success, at least $5 is returned to the community in social benefits. • 360 Communities provides sexual and domestic violence programming to more than 3,000 people annually. On June 25, motorcyclists will come togeth-er at the Rosemount VFW for the Third Annual Stop the Cycle motorcycle ride. Aug. 29 is our 23rd Annual Lewis House Charity Golf Tournament. Both events will support 360 Communities Lewis House. • Consider volunteering at one of our food shelves, family resource centers, or shelters. Fill out our volunteer interest form at 360Communities.org. • Please check to see if your employer will match your donations of time and/or money. Our website has a “Double the Donation” resource for you to look up what your company may be willing to match. Every person in our community mat-ters. Help make a difference with an or-ganization that exists to support those with the most need. 360 Communities is a vehicle for transformative impacts in Dakota County and beyond.

Are you a conservative?To the editor: True conservatives are prudent disciplined people who use classical sound rea-soning. They seek true value, prudent investments, con-structive cooperation, long-term commitments and the strength of our democratic system. They do not want to be used neither by kings nor by today’s money emperors. They treat others, as they like to be treated because “what goes around comes around.” Sadly a significant num-ber declare themselves con-servatives but then practice egotistic imprudent short-sighted behavior. For example they want to give our taxes to for-profit private enterprises for temporary space rather then giving ownership and equity in our capital build-ing additions to Minneso-tans. The aim of taxes is to maintain and improve our country – but not to use them as “give back trinket” – that is dereliction of duty because prepaying with sur-plus reduces future costs. We all know people working for us in our gov-ernment are not getting exorbitant salaries or ex-ecutive pay bonuses un-like private enterprise. Nor are they working to make profit. Like co-ops they are good value. Yet certain conservatives are denying that. They are making our life more expensive by paralyz-ing our democratic govern-ment and then channeling all needed government functions to profit-making unregulated enterprises, ea-ger to send jobs out of the country to improve their bottom line! This is because we are told our government is so inefficient. Yet the very representa-tive we elected to ride herd on inefficiency are them-selves the most inefficient bunch, regularly driving up costs by obstructing, shut-ting government down and killing protective regula-

tion. Is it more efficient to lower taxes but instead lead poison a whole town? Or reduce regulation then have to clean up pollution? De-fund oversight allow manufacturing plants to blow up? Or have tainted hamburger meat and bad drugs because of reduced regulations? Have supporters of these propositions been hood-winked? Because this is not conservative. Hopefully it’s only be-cause they spend their time shopping or watching foot-ball and not because they are selfish, dense, mean, backward or unpatriotic. In the upcoming election we all will be defining what our country really is.

Weikle will represent local concerns To the editor: I grew weary reading state Rep. Jon Koznick’s comments about caucus night in the newspaper. They were the typical top-down partisan rhetoric we’ve all grown tired of – he seems to be just another mouthpiece for party lead-ers in St. Paul. Don’t we have enough of those? On the other hand, I’ve been impressed by his challenger, LeAnn Weikle. She passionately advocates for Lakeville families, and seems to “get” that the in-tent of our representative government is to advance our local concerns at the Capitol. She also appears to lis-ten as much as she talks – a rare quality in a poli-tician that could serve us well both in hearing our concerns and getting them through a often conten-tious legislature. Think local. LeAnn Weikle seems to be a breath of fresh air, and someone to take a closer look at as the November election approaches.

LETTERS, from 5A County Board made the right decision To the editor: I am writing in reaction to last week’s letter titled “Accountability for the Da-kota County Board.” The writer proposes removing several county commission-ers from office due to their votes to implement the plan to improve accessibility to Lebanon Hills Regional Park. I would suggest that their actions to implement the plan in spite of opposi-tion from a very vocal mi-nority are a good reason to return them to office. I live a few miles from Lebanon Hills park. I am not a hiker. Until last sum-mer I had never been in the park. When I read about the protests over the plan, I decided to see what all of the controversy was about. There are 15 miles of hik-ing trails in Lebanon Hills Park – East. I decided to walk every mile. Due to the remoteness of some of the trails, I had to walk 29 miles to cover every trail at least once. In my journeys, I almost never encountered more than a few other walk-

ers. That included week-ends. Seldom was there any other person in sight on the trails. In my opinion the new year-round accessible trails will have little or no impact on the existing trails or the environment. They will pro-vide much greater use of the park and include people who cannot currently ac-cess the park. Our parks should provide access to as many people as possible. The writer cited the hundreds of citizens who objected to the plan as “un-precedented opposition.” I don’t know how many hundreds of people op-posed the plan, but there are more than 400,000 resi-dents in Dakota County. I served 10 years on a Da-kota County suburban city council. I also served 10 years in the Legislature. I know that only opponents of any development pro-posal come forward. A few hundred opponents out of 400,000 residents are hardly unprecedented. I am pleased that we have county commission-ers who represent all of the residents of Dakota Coun-ty and do not overreact to the minority. The improve-

ments to Lebanon Hills Regional Park will serve the entire community well.

Little has been a great leader To the editor: As a 2014 Lakeville South High School gradu-ate and former Lakeville ambassador, I am writing to show my support for Matt Little. I support Mayor Little in running for the State Senate because, in short, he supports us. Matt Little in-stituted weekly “Meetings with the Mayor” so that any person could voice ideas and concerns directly to him. Outside of these office hours, he is active and acces-sible in the community, from Pan-O-Prog celebrations and student graduation par-ties, to the grand opening of Toppers, Matt Little has been there. In building con-nections within our commu-nity, he listens to our voices, and makes changes that support all of us. Mayor Little is forward thinking and impact mak-

ing. I’m voting for Matt Little because he under-stands that the best way to empower Minnesota is to build up our future work-force, through providing students with a world-class education. I’m voting for Matt Little because he will grow our economy and add thousands of jobs just as he did in Lakeville. I’m voting for Matt Little because he supports small businesses and listens to the voices of local farmers. I’m voting for Mayor Little because he cares about seniors and will work to ensure those baby boomers that built, grew, and molded the state of Minnesota, can access transportation and retire comfortably in the towns they love. Finally, I’m voting for Matt Little because if he is half of the leader as a state senator, that he was as our mayor, we will all be in good hands. I hope you will join me in voting Matt Little for State Senate. Big changes are pos-sible when we have a Little leadership and your Little vote will make a big differ-ence.

SportsPanthers fall to Hopkins’ second-half runNorth boys play

in state final for third time in five years

by Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hopkins was a talent-ed, motivated opponent, hungry to win another state championship. That was a combination Lake-ville North couldn’t beat. The Panthers came close, though. Close enough to give Hopkins coach Ken Novak Jr. flashbacks to a state boys basketball championship game two years ago, when North rallied in the final minute to knock off the Royals. “That might be the hardest loss I’ve ever had,” Novak said. On Saturday night, the Panthers had a chance to deal Novak another dif-ficult loss, but a 15-point run in the second half rescued the game for Hopkins, which defeated North 64-55 in the Class 4A final at the Target Cen-ter. Hopkins (31-1) won its ninth state championship and first since 2011. Lakeville North (26-6) played in the state final for the third time in five years and was seeking its second championship in three years. “Hats off to my kids. They played their butts off, played hard,” said North coach John Oxton. “I thought we played very well defensively. We limit-ed their fast break points, which was good. “But we struggled to score, which was a struggle all night. A lot of it had to do with (Hopkins).” After the teams finished the first half tied, 23-23, Lakeville North moved in front 42-37 with 9 minutes, 15 seconds remaining. The Panthers appeared ready to take control be-fore Hopkins went on its run. Five minutes and six Lakeville North turnovers later, Hopkins led 52-42

and the Panthers never re-covered. “We looked up and said, ‘Dang, we’re down by 10 and we were just in the ballgame,’ ” said Lakeville North junior forward Na-than Reuvers, who led the Panthers with 16 points. Hopkins was able to get into the transition game it wanted to play all along, getting several layups off Lakeville North turnovers. Amir Coffey, a 6-foot-8 guard and University of Minnesota recruit, had 19 points, six rebounds and three assists for Hopkins. Lakeville North forward Carter Brooks drew the

assignment to guarding Coffey until Brooks ran into foul trouble in the sec-ond half. “The scouting report on him was to try to make him beat us on the dribble and shade him right,” Brooks said. “He got around me a couple of times and I got a couple of fouls. I did the best I could.” Hopkins guards Vin-nie Shahid and Xavier Johnson combined for 23 points and seven steals and helped spark the Royals’ second-half comeback. Another issue for North in the championship game was getting to the free-

throw line only four times all game. Hopkins shot 19 free throws, making 14. If the Panthers had it to do over again, Oxton said, they would attack the bas-ket more. Reuvers had 14 of his 16 points in the second half. Nick Fossey had 11 points and eight rebounds. Novak praised Reuvers, who received a scholar-ship offer from University of Minnesota coach Rich-ard Pitino during the state tournament. “Reuvers is a really good player. He could end up being a pro,” Novak said.

Lakeville North also defeated Hopkins 65-61 in the 2015 state quarterfi-nals, a game Coffey missed because of knee injury. Oxton said the Panthers assumed the back-to-back losses to North at state would give Hopkins even more motivation. “They’re a proud pro-gram, like we are,” said Oxton, who said Lakeville North probably would have reacted the same way if it was in Hopkins’ situa-tion. “You get to a state championship game, you’re going to get some-body’s best. We weathered it, did a great job for much of the game, but obviously that big run killed us.”

Tourney notes • Reuvers, Fossey and

Brooks were named to the Class 4A all-tournament team. • Fossey scored Lake-ville North’s final 10 points and stole an in-bounds pass in the final seconds as North defeated Osseo 60-56 in the Class 4A quarterfinals March 10, handing the Orioles their first loss. Reuvers had 17 points and nine rebounds, while Fossey, Brooks and Calven Pesola scored 12 points each. • Reuvers had 19 points and 14 rebounds in Lakeville North’s 60-49 quarterfinal victory over Maple Grove. Brooks and Fossey scored 11 points each.

Lakeville North lose in state quarterfinalsWalstad, Ranke

power the Lightning to 52-35 victoryby Tad Johnson

and Mike ShaughnessySUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Eastview girls bas-ketball team outlasted conference rival Lakeville North, 52-35, in a state tournament quarterfinal game Tuesday afternoon at Target Center in Min-neapolis. The Panthers fell be-hind early during a physi-cal first half when points were hard to muster as Eastview held a 25-13 ad-vantage at the break. Rachel Ranke and Megan Walstad provided much of the Eastview of-fensive punch in the first half. Ranke scored the Light-ning’s first eight points, and Walstad got two la-yups in a row to push the lead to 21-8 after the Pan-thers went to a full-court press. Eastview managed to hit a total of 28 percent of its shots, while Lakeville North shot 18 percent in the first half. Lakeville North bolted out to a 7-0 run to open the second half to close the lead to five, but af-ter a timeout the Light-ning scored the next eight points for a 33-20 advan-tage. Ranke and Walstad again sparked the team with two buckets each during the run, pushing the lead to 13 with about 8 minutes to play. Allie Pickrain brought

the large Eastview contin-gent of fans to their feet when she drained back-to-back three pointers for her first points in the game as it seemingly put the con-test out of reach, 40-22, with about 6 minutes to play. Walstad and Ranke led the Lightning with 18 and 16 points, respectively. Sarah Krynski and Jes-sica Montouri led the Pan-

thers with nine and eight points, respectively. Eastview attempted half of the three-pointers that Lakeville North did (13-6), but made just as many (4). The Lightning, which only missed two shots in the second half, outshot the Panthers 48-37 percent from inside the arc for the game. Eastview grabbed al-most twice as many re-

bounds as Lakeville North (22-12). Eastview advances to play at 6 p.m. March 17 after this edition went to press against No. 1 seed Hopkins, which advanced with an 81-69 win over Park Center. The game will be at Williams Arena. Lakeville North ends its season with a 23-6 re-cord.

Section fi nal Lakeville North quali-fied for the state tourna-ment for the fifth time in seven years after routing Lakeville South 70-47 in the Class 4A, Section 1 championship game March 10 at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. North (24-5), the No. 5 seed in the state tourney, played fourth-seeded East-view (25-4) in the Class 4A quarterfinals on Tuesday. Senior guard Sarah Krynski and junior guard Temi Carda combined for 36 points in the section

final, with Krynski scor-ing a game-high 21 points. Six other North players scored from four to seven points. Senior forward Brianna Miller scored 18 points to lead Lakeville South (19-10), which set a school re-cord for victories in a sea-son. Jocie Johnson added 10 for the Cougars, who played in a section final for the second time. Last week’s game was the first time North and South faced each other in a section girls basketball final.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 45-year-old Eagan man remains in critical condition at North Memo-rial Medical Center after the bicycle he was riding in rural Dakota County on March 8 was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Bryan Joas underwent several surgeries in an ef-fort to address his internal injuries and his broken lower back, ribs and pel-vis. His wife, Shauna, wrote on his CaringBridge page that Bryan’s surgery to save his life March 11 was a miracle. Bryan has had portions of his small and large in-testines removed along with his rectum and gall bladder in an effort to re-move an infection, accord-ing to Shauna. Doctors are now working to stabi-lize his condition as he un-derwent another surgery Wednesday, March 16. Shauna said this is a cyclist’s wife’s worst nightmare. She said she is thankful for the outpour-ing of support from fam-ily, neighbors, friends, and co-workers. The Dakota County Sheriff ’s Office is offering a $5,000 reward for infor-mation that may lead to the identification of the driver and vehicle involved in the hit-and-run. Joas was riding his road bicycle when it was struck by an unknown vehicle at about 5:45 p.m. on 250th Street West and Highview Avenue in Eureka Town-ship.

It is believed that Joas was traveling east on 250th Street West and was struck by an eastbound vehicle that left the scene. If anyone has informa-tion regarding this inci-dent, contact Sgt. Dawa-nna Witt at 651-438-4736 or Det. Ryan Fitzgerald at 651-438-4729. To help offset the fam-ily’s medical costs, the Swag Shop in Rosemount is taking #JoasStrong orders of shirts and ve-hicle decals through mid-night March 20 at https://joasstrong.itemorder.com/sale. Bryan’s GoFundMe page is at https://www.go-fundme.com/BryanJoas. His Caring Bridge page is at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/bryanjoas?tb=g_fb.

through better overall com-munication around the in-novative and strategic work that many of our teachers are involved in creating,” Snyder said in a statement to the newspaper. “By bet-ter communicating about what is truly happening in partnership with not only our teachers but also other important stakeholders such as students, parents and our community members, we can clearly demonstrate how teachers and other interested stakeholders can get more in-volved in the strategic work of the district.” Willingham cited teacher frustrations regarding sev-eral new initiatives, including MNCAPS, the professional academy set to open this fall, closure of the Area Learning Center (which will remain in operation for the most high-risk students) and rollout of curriculum and professional development that she said teachers “played no role in choosing.” “Educators often say they are the last to know what’s going on in this district,” Willingham said. She said district advisory group members also told her they feel as though the dis-trict cabinet comes to meet-ings with a plan and seeks “little if any feedback” from committee members “unless it conforms with the existing plan.” Snyder pointed to the dis-trict’s strategic plan, which promotes “shared leader-ship and collaboration” and aligns activities to encourage that level of input through “shared leadership teams” at the building and district lev-els. For the past five years, Snyder said the administra-tion and the School Board have implemented numerous ways to increase collabora-

tion and gain stakeholder input, including annual sur-veys, expanding commit-tee membership to include parents, staff and commu-nity, and developing business partnerships. In an interview, School Board Member Judy Keliher agreed the district is seeking collaboration, and said more work needs to be done to communicate the decision-making behind the new pro-grams. Keliher noted that many new initiatives have involved input from numerous staff and community members, including Impact Academy and the LinK12 online learn-ing program. “I think it’s just a better way of communicating what we’ve done and how we’ve arrived at the product we have and who helped develop that,” she said. Keliher said the district is devoted to innovation and “looking from input from ev-eryone.” In an interview, Education Minnesota-Lakeville Presi-dent Don Sinner said educa-tors agree that the district’s new initiatives and programs are good for students, but teachers need more involve-ment in decision-making. “The issue is that every-thing is happening without input from the classroom educator,” Sinner said. He said in a break from past practices, the union has not been involved the last two times the district has cre-ated its three-year strategic plan. “There are always issues with implementation,” Sin-ner said. “But they are issues that we could better address if educators were part of the creation and the implemen-tation of this on the front side, rather than reacting on the back side.” Snyder said while EML leadership may not have

been directly involved in de-velopment of the adopted Strategic Plan, many teach-ers provided direction and input into the final recom-mendations. “Specifically, the District Shared Leadership Team, which has teacher represen-tation from every school and level of our organiza-tion, played a large role in reviewing the data from stakeholder groups and pro-viding feedback and input from a classroom perspective on the ideas presented,” Sny-der said. “This feedback was critical in the refinement of the final recommendations that were presented to the Board of Education and our public.” Snyder said Shared Lead-ership Teams were developed by the district and teachers union beginning in 2014, built upon a “joint desire to flatten the organization and get more teachers involved in decision-making.” She said more than 100 of the district’s 600 teachers take part in decision-making on the district’s strategic di-rection and improvement plans. Snyder added that the dis-trict has grown and it is likely more difficult for teachers to see the increased level of in-volvement across the district. “We will continue to seek ways to improve communi-cation on these collabora-tive activities and also better identify how teachers can participate in the work,” she stated. In an interview, Willing-ham clarified that she did not represent every educator, but is concerned about re-peated comments she’s heard throughout the district that include increased workload in part due to government mandates. She said while the dis-trict’s teacher development evaluation was a collabora-

tive process, that program combined with Q-Comp requirements have dramati-cally increased workloads for teachers and principals. “I think people are ex-hausted,” Willingham said. ”And then if they don’t have the kind of collaborative re-lationship that they want, then that gets frustrating and that’s what I’m hearing.” At the meeting, Board Chair Michelle Volk said the board takes the concerns it has heard from staff and Willingham seriously and is working to improve commu-nications. “We’ve heard it loud and clear from the meet-and-con-fer,” Volk said. “We took that information to heart and we will be discussing where we can improve.” Volk said in an interview that School Board mem-bers have also been actively reaching out to staff, with all members regularly attending school events and activities and working to be accessible to everyone. At its March 15 special meeting, the School Board reviewed the district com-munication plan, which em-phasized collaboration with staff, students and the com-munity. Snyder added the dis-trict welcomes feedback and plans to continue to hold meet-and-confer sessions where teachers may offer their concerns and ideas to better meet students’ needs. “We have heard our teach-ers voice the desire for more input … and are grateful for their desire to be involved in the critical work ahead,” she said. “We will continue to expand opportunities for educator involvement in the development of innovative ideas to better serve our stu-dents.”

Expressions presents ‘On Golden Pond’

Play opens April 1 at Lakeville Area Arts Center

by Andrew MillerSUN THISWEEK

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Expressions Community Theater is bringing a stage classic to the Lakeville Area Arts Center next month with its production of “On Golden Pond.” The play, which runs April 1-10, follows Norman and Ethel Thayer (played by Art Peden and Shelley Kothe), who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. The elderly couple is visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then head to Europe and leave their teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quick-ly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for. The play combines com-edy and drama with a plot that serves as a meditation on opportunities for re-demption in our lives, said director Annie Estes. Norman, a cantanker-ous, sharp-tongued retired professor, is nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a fail-ing memory. Ethel, 10 years younger and a foil for Nor-man, delights in the small things that have enriched their long life together. “You can’t see ‘On Gold-en Pond’ without falling in love with Norman and Eth-el,” Estes said of the play’s central characters. “On Golden Pond” de-buted on Broadway in 1979, and was adapted into a film in 1981 starring Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn and Jane Fonda. A 2001 TV adaptation starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer; the play saw a Broadway revival in 2005 with an African American cast, including James Earl Jones. The six-member cast of the Expressions production also features Sebastian Mie-zianko, Michael Morning-

star, Bonnie Schueler and Andrew Scipioni. Following the run of “On Golden Pond,” Expres-sions plans to present the classic comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace” in August at the arts center. Show times for “On Golden Pond” are 7:30

p.m. April 1-2 and 7-9, and 2 p.m. April 3 and 10. Tickets are $13 and are available at www.Lakevil-leAreaArtsCenter.com or by calling 952-985-4640.
