Former Burnsville resident KimSchultz is returning home this month totell a story unfamiliar to manyAmericans.

Schultz’s play, “No Place CalledHome,” will have a four-day run at theIllusion Theater in Minneapolis July 14-17 as part of the theater’s “Fresh Ink”series, which features new, often experi-mental shows each summer. Schultz,who lives in New York City, portrays 12displaced Iraqi refugees who haveescaped Saddam Hussein’s dictatorshipand the U.S. military occupation.

“We are very excited about Kim’splay,” said Sherry Mooney, AssistantDirector of Communications at IllusionTheater. “Our real focus is to put on pro-ductions that touch on current worldissues. We think this piece is a perfectfit.”

The impetus for the play began withIntersections International, a NewYork-based social justice organizationthat commissioned Schultz, AmikaeylaGaston and six other American artistsfor a one-month visit to Jordan,Lebanon and Syria to speak with Iraqirefugees, learn their stories and givethem a voice.

Dad receives Father’s Day gifthe’ll never forgetBY MICHAEL RICCISUN NEWSPAPERS

One Lakeville 4-year-old recently learned that a phonecall can not only save a life but may also lead to a great dealof deserving recognition.

Kieran O’Neill called 911 when his grandmother fell illseveral months ago, and was honored Sunday, June 19, atthe Minneapolis Convention Center during the NationalEmergency Number Association conference. He wasawarded with a national 911 Local Heroes Medal of Honoraward from the 911 for Kids organization.

When Kieran made the call, he had just turned 4 yearsold, but his age didn’t detract from his sincerity, accordingto Dakota Communications Center dispatcher VictoriaRyan. While the majority of emergency calls received fromchildren of that age are accidental, Kieran’s was different.

“I wouldn’t say he was my first call that was that youngbut certainly more serious than the others that would havecalled,” Ryan said about how the young man conductedhimself.

Last September, Kieran’s father, Mike, took a fewmoments to go over the 911 calling procedure with his son.Mike had discussed 911 with Kieran on other occasions,but on Sept. 10, Mike’s instructions turned out to be quitetimely. Mike explained that Kieran’s grandmother, Nancy,had become ill on previous occasions.

“That day I kind of had a gut feeling,” Mike said.Mike covered the entire calling process from their

home phone, quizzing Kieran along the way. He showed the4-year-old which buttons to push, including the button toactivate the speaker feature.

BY HANNAH LUND • SUN NEWSPAPERS

With farmers markets starting to bloom inDakota County, it’s time to eat your vegetables.

Rooted in several locations around the metroarea, local farmers gather to sell their products,along with meeting faces from around the commu-nity. According to at least one event coordinator,what you see is what you get – and what you eat.

“In grocery stores, you don’t always know whatyou’re going to get,” said Shari Haselmann, coordi-nator of the Lakeville Farmer’s Market. “But at afarmer’s market, the food isn’t going to go bad asfast, and it’s more of a home-town feel: friendlyand neighborly.”

Products range from Lorence’s Berry Farm’sstrawberries and jelly to well-known GreatHarvest bread. Sellers, such as Carol Knapp atGreat Harvest, like the opportunity to talk directlyto the customers. According to Knapp, there hasbeen a growing trend in being what she calls a“locovore,” or a consumer who consistently shopslocally. Knapps believes this has a lot to do withfood quality and trust.

“People like us because we have all kinds ofvariety that you won’t find anywhere else,” Knappsaid. “There are no preservatives, so it’s all veryfresh.”

For Great Harvest, variety translates as bread-products like “scruffins,” a mixture of scones andmuffins and Finnish Pulla Bread.

Bao Lee, a member of a farming family and veg-etable stand at several markets, enjoys being a partof farmer’s markets and seeing customers explorethe local food.

“When you sell locally, you have the opportuni-ty to express how you take care of your produce,”said Lee. “It’s very rewarding to see all your hardwork paying off. To have that complimented … it’sbetter than the money.”

Food stands echo each other’s calls to try sam-ples of products. Many of the sellers agree thatsamples are the best way to grab a person’s atten-tion. Over at Three Rivers Farm, curious market-goers sample ginger, vanilla or cinnamon-flavoredsyrups.

“You get to meet a lot of people,” said BarbParry of Three Rivers Farm. “It makes it morefamily-like.”

Families from Lakeville, Burnsville,Rosemount, Apple Valley and beyond enter thetented areas to see what treats will greet them thatday. Sweet honey melts in the summer breeze,while families lick their fingers for the final dripsof flavor. It’s a carnival of herbs, and for AppleValley Farmer’s Market first-timer Ray Hutton, it’san experience that deserves another taste-test.

“There’s good variety that you can’t find inother stores and it’s always fresh,” said Hutton.

“These are voices largely unheard byAmericans,” said Schultz.

Hearing these stories and soakingthem took their toll on her emotional-ly, Schultz said. By the end of the trip,she was near her wit’s end when shemet an Iraqi man, Omar, and fell inlove with him.

“In a way, Omar saved me, because Iwas at my bottom and here was thisone man who showed me humanityand compassion and loved me and kindof brought me back – and that’s kind ofthe basis for the play,” Schultz said.

The love story between Schultz andOmar is weaved throughout her por-trayal of a dozen Iraqis.

The Iraqis Schultz portrays run thegamut of people she met on her trip,she said.

She plays a male teenager who hasto quit school to work because he is theonly family member who can be itsbreadwinner. It’s illegal for refugees towork, and the son must sell what hecan on the streets and hopefullynot get caught.

She plays a woman in her 60s who

had to flee Iraq because her husbandsold alcohol, leaving their adultdaughter behind.

She plays an old man with a biglaugh who teaches the audience howto do an Iraqi dance, and who is con-cerned with legacy he will leave.

She plays a child who tells storiesto the audience, all of which dealwith death and loneliness.

The plight of Iraqi refugees islargely overshadowed by news cover-age of the military occupation in thecountry. Intersections Internationalwanted to tell their stories throughart, not traditional media, to human-ize the dangers the refugees faceevery day.

“Hopefully, the love story openstheir hearts and they can see theseIraqis as people and not what thepress often portrays them as,”Schultz said.

Gaston said was working with therefugee children and sharing hermusicals gifts with them was one ofthe project’s most poignant momentsfor her.

“Despite our dif ferences withrespect to language, we really con-nected with the music because it’ssuch a universal language,”Gaston said.

The play first opened off-

Broadway in October 2010 under thedirection of Sarah Cameron Sunde.Gaston performed all the music.

“They’re almost all chants andmusic that I learned from therefugees,” Gaston said. “Essentially,the essence of all of the chants arethere.”

The play has since been performedin Indiana, Washington, D.C. andNew Jersey. A full-scale fall tour willhit theaters and universities acrossthe country. Schultz said bringingher play to Minnesota was on the topof her list, and hopes people cancome experience what she has dedi-cated the last two years of her life to.

“I really hope Burnsville [resi-dents] can come out and hopefullythey can learn something aboutwhat’s going on in the world,” saidSchultz, a 1988 graduate ofBurnsville High School.

While the play is heavy on emo-tions of pain, fear, loneliness, anddeath, Schultz has found a way toweave humor throughout.

“My goal is to find comedy where Ican,” Schultz said. “The show hasfunny, light elements as well. I thinkpeople will be surprised by that.”

Mooney echoed Schultz’ senti-ment.

“I think people will be surprised

by how much time they spend laugh-ing,” Mooney said.

Ultimately, Schultz wants the playto inspire others.

“I hope that people come to theshow and will come with openhearts,” she said. “I think that theymight be surprised with what theymight leave with.”

All performances cost $15. Theplay runs 8 p.m. Thursday, July 14through Saturday, July 16 and 7 p.m.for the Sunday, July 17 performance.The Saturday, July 16 performancewill be ASL interpreted.

“I told him, ‘Just do that. Mommywill be home soon, but just in case,’”Mike said.

His gut feeling turned out to be right,as Nancy had fallen ill while Mike andhis wife, Kandace, had left Kieran withher for a brief period of time. Kandacewas on her way home, while Mike hadleft for work.

“[Nancy] was dizzy and sick,” Kieransaid, recalling that September daywhen he witnessed his grandma fallingill. He asked her if he should call 911.

“She said, ‘Maybe,’ and I did.”Ryan, the 911 operator, began asking

Kieran routine questions to betterassess Nancy’s health.

“She was asking if [my grandma] wasbleeding or vomiting blood, but she was-n’t” Kieran said.

The boy stayed on the phone untilhelp arrived and brought Nancy to anearby hospital, where she made a com-plete recovery. According to Ryan,Kieran was very bright as he answeredall of her questions and followed herdirections with ease. Kieran’s calm and

collected demeanor, and his ability tocommunicate well, really caught the 911dispatcher’s attention.

“He’s very articulate,” Ryan said. “Hewas just on a mission. He was going tohelp his grandma. It was great.”

Ryan compared the young man toadult callers, many of whom panic inemergency situations.

“We have adults that freak,” she said.Despite the concern Mike felt for both

his mother and his son, the fact thatKieran was able to conduct himself insuch an adult manner did not come asa complete shock. He and Kandace takethe time daily to teach their childabout many subjects, namely readingand interacting with others.

“I taught him to learn his phonenumber, learn how to spell his nameand how to talk to police officers,”Mike explained. “His mom has had alot to do with it too. She makes sureevery night – every single night with-out exception before we go to bed – hereads at least three books.”

Kieran and Ryan were reunited thispast month for the award ceremony, atwhich time they had some time alonetogether. Despite being in front ofapproximately 100 people, Kieran was-n’t nervous.

“I just looked. When I first cameout, I waved to grandma Nancy,”Kieran said. “I saw them all.”

While watching his son from afar,Mike could not help but feel a greatdeal of pride, particularly that day.

“It was on Father’s Day,” Mike said.“I’ll probably never ever have a betterFather’s Day present than this. Whatcould top it?”

BY PAUL WAHL • SUNNEWSPAPERS

So let’s say you blow a fuse inyour brain and you’re rushed tothe hospital. When you getthere, the doctor informs you hecan’t operate today.

He had a dispute with hiswife over breakfast. When hearrived at the hospital, he had adispute with chief of staff.There was no way to resolve thedisputes so sorry, you have todie.

That might be a bit over-dramatizing what a state gov-ernment shutdown is all about,but you get the idea.

The Minnesota Legislatureand Gov. Mark Dayton refusedto operate and we – all of usreading this who helped electthem and who pay their salaries– are the losers.

If you have someone whorefuses to do his or her job like

the physician referenced above,the answer is simple. “You’refired,” to quote Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, we have towait until the next electioncycle to “fire” any of our politi-cians. And voters have notori-ously short memories.

My best guess is this shut-down won’t even be a topic dur-ing the upcoming campaigns.

Any elected official oneither side of this issue whobelieves the people ofMinnesota are going to buyeither argument for failing toavoid a state shutdown may bewearing some hefty rose-col-ored glasses.

Conservative, moderate orliberal, Minnesotans under-stand what it means to “do goodwork,” as Garrison Keillor isfond of saying. What hap-pened July 1, 2011, does notrepresent “good work” on thepart of anyone.

They didn’t “get-er-done,” asLarry the Cable Guy would say.

Perhaps Minnesota’s politi-cians need to take a page fromthe old NASA handbook.“Failure is not an option.”

You remember those days, nodoubt, when we all of us had dif-ferences of opinions but com-promised to accomplish thegoal. But when it meant savingthe lives of three astronauts, noone at NASA was willing to giveup and shut down operations inHouston.

The best face that can be puton the entire injustice is thatcooler heads will prevail overthe long holiday weekend andan agreement can be reachedTuesday. This is being writtenFriday morning to accommo-date short holiday print dead-lines here at the newspaper.

What happens once thelights are turned back on is upto us as taxpayers and voters. If

“crisis management” is your pre-ferred form of governance, thenyou should fold your hands overyour chest and laugh heartily ateveryone who was harmed in theprocess.

If your sense of fair-play and pro-priety has been breached, the ball isnow in your court. You can yawnand walk away … politics as usual …or you can stand up and let yourthoughts be known.

Whatever side of the politicalaisle you are on,the sad fact remainsthat the legislature and the governorwere given a job to do and they failedto do it.

The patient died.Most of us were prepared to live

with whatever was decided, but tosimply not decide is unacceptable.

As a taxpayer and their employ-er, clearly the governor and legisla-ture have earned a “fails to meetminimum expectations” rating.

Paul Wahl is a managing edi-tor at Sun Newspapers.

In my opinion, governor, legislature both get a big red “F”

CorrectionThe calendar in our June 30 issue inadvertently carried the

Pan-O-Prog cruise night entry on the wrong night. The event is infact on Friday, July 8, and the correct information is in thisissue’s calendar. The Sun-Current regrets the error.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Who to believe onthe budget?To the editor:

I’ve heard Republican legisla-tors and supporters state repeat-edly that their $34 billion two-year budget proposal offers a 12percent spending increase com-pared to the past two years. Thisstatement is designed to maketheir offer look generous and thegovernor’s $36 billion alternativelook outrageous.

One big problem: it’s mislead-ing at best and downright manip-ulative at worst. The Republicanscan only make the 12 percentclaim if they use $30 billion asthe figure for state spending overthe past two years. It’s true that’swhat the state spent directly fromits own revenues. But it’s alsotrue that the state spent $4 billionmore in federal stimulus moneyand in promises to reimburseschool districts later for what

they spent back then.That adds up to $34 billion,

which means the Republicansare proposing nothing muchmore than a spending freeze,while Gov. Dayton is proposingwell below a 6 percent increase.

When challenged,Republicans counter that the $4billion wasn’t “real” spendingbecause it didn’t come solely anddirectly from state revenues.That’s like claiming a family thatpaid for something with a giftfrom an uncle and a credit cardcharge never really bought any-thing.

That $4 billion bought actualeducation, health care, and pub-lic safety services. And I’mthankful we never had to try outthe alternative. I’ve worked withbudgets for a living, and I’velearned that if we twist the num-bers just to prove a point, we onlyend up fooling ourselves.

GRAMMY AWA RD-WINNING NEW CAS T A LBUM AVAILABL E ON MASTERWORKS BR OADWAY


BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The first step has been taken.Burnsville has a ways to go to be rec-

ognized as a “Yellow RibbonCommunity,” but the City Councilrecently pledged its support to make thathappen. The “Beyond the YellowRibbon” program creates public aware-ness in order to connect service mem-bers and their families with communitysupport, training, services andresources.

The military has atraining process thathelps service membersre-integrate into thecommunity. The“Yellow Ribbon” cam-paign takes it a stepfurther by connectingthe community to sup-port them, saidAnnette Kuyper, direc-tor of military out-reach for theMinnesota ArmyNational Guard.

She said this is aunique program thatuses nearly no funding or governmententities. Individual communities do thework.

Burnsville’s “Beyond the YellowRibbon” campaign will host a “kick-off ”event 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 20 at theBurnsville Performing Arts Center,12600 Nicollet Ave. The event is open tothe public, and an overview of the pro-gram and how it works will be present-ed.

Volunteers will be asked to form asteering committee to lead and helpBurnsville be supportive of veteransand their families, said Tom Hansen,Burnsville’s deputy manager.

“We’re hoping to get a number of vol-unteers to step forward and say, ‘Yes, I dowant to be a part of this,’” Hansen said.

The steering committee will consist ofleaders in key areas of the city in publicsafety, city leadership, educators, youth pro-grams within the schools, business commu-nity, veterans, faith-based organizations,social services and medical providers,Kuyper said. The steering committee willcreate an action plan for each key area todemonstrate commitment to helping serv-ice members and their families.

“It helps create a community where nomilitary family is isolated or alone andthey can get the help when they need it,”Kuyper said.

Each action plan will be combined toform a master plan, which will be sub-mitted to the state for approval. Fromthe time of the kick-off, the average com-munity takes up to a year to have itsaction plan ready to submit to the stateof Minnesota, Kuyper said.

“It’s a methodical process of lookingin every area of the community to gaincommitment and support and to capturewhat they’re already doing,” saidKuyper.

Dakota County is inthe process of becom-ing a “Yellow Ribbon”county, which helpedjump-start Burnsville’sown community cam-paign. Dakota Countyalready has several“Yellow Ribbon” com-munities, includingHastings andLakeville. Farmingtonwas proclaimed as thestate’s first “YellowRibbon” community in2007.

Apple Valley, Eagan,Burnsville, Inver

Grove Heights and Rosemount are alsoin the process of becoming “YellowRibbon” communities, said SFC DaveDenton, Yellow Ribbon outreach coordi-nator with the Minnesota ArmyNational Guard.

The Apple Valley event will kick-off 7p.m., Thursday, Sept. 29 at the AppleValley American Legion Post 1176, 14521Granada Drive.

Denton said that reaching out forassistance is not always easy, but in hisexperience, rewarding. Seeing his com-munity unite to help service membersand their families exceeds his expecta-tions.

“Just seeing the community mem-bers out there – I’m floored,” Dentonsaid. “It’s always positive energy thatyou’ve got coming from the communi-ty.”

Hansen said the city’s efforts tobecome a “Yellow Ribbon” communi-ty are in line with its values.

“It’s basically just the right thingto do,” Hansen said. “If we can hookup assistance for veterans and mili-tary families in the community, that’sa good thing. In a nutshell, that’sexactly what we should be doing.”

A “Yellow Ribbon” communityin the making in Burnsville

Baseball enthusiasts and historybuffs alike will be treated to a specialexhibit this month at the Dakota CountyBurnhaven Library.

“For the Love of the Game,” an exhib-it that traces the history of African-American baseball players who con-tributed to the sport in Minnesota, willbe on display at the library through themiddle of August. The exhibit’s curatoris Frank M. White, whose father, LouisV. White Jr., played on the all-black base-ball team Twin City Colored Giants inthe 1940s.

White Jr. batted over .500 when heplayed for the Mechanic Arts HighSchool team in 1946, a St. Paul CityConference record that still stands.

White created the exhibit to tell thestories of the African-American base-ball players who are largely lost to time.

“My focus is really the guys thatplayed in the 40s and 50s because they’reguys that were great athletes, great base-ball players and nobody knows aboutthem,” White said. “I wanted to share ahistory and sharing that story helps addto the legacy – not only of Minnesotabaseball but of Minnesota black base-ball.”

White approached the RamseyCounty Historical Society in fall 2009 tocreate the exhibit. The MetropolitanLibrary Service Agency decided put theexhibit on tour early this year.Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural HeritageFund support the cost, and the exhibithas toured to libraries in Maplewood,Fridley and Shakopee, among othercities.

Maggie Hein, a librarian at theBurnhaven Library, encouraged peopleviewing the exhibit to feel a connectionwith the cultural diversity within thecity of Burnsville.

“It’s a piece of legacy and history thathasn’t been completely told yet,” Heinsaid. “It’s a way to celebrate the diversi-ty of our clientele – our patrons here atour library.”

The exhibit highlights many of theplayers of these all-black Minnesotateams. The state never boasted a NegroLeague team, but often times NegroLeague teams would barnstorm – playexhibition games – against the local all-black teams in the state to generatemore income and make ends meet.

White’s father was actually recruitedto play for the Negro League’s KansasCity Monarchs by Buck O’Neill, whowent on to be the first African-American

coach in Major League Baseball. Familyobligations kept White Jr. home in St.Paul.

“I’m also sure my mom wouldn’t letmy dad traipse around the country play-ing baseball,” White said, adding hisgrandmother wanted him to stay homeand raise his son (Frank M. White) whowas born Louis White Jr.’s junior year ofhigh school.

Historical timelines, uniforms, base-ball bats and gloves are featured in theexhibit, as well as many photographsWhite has been able to acquire. RamseyCounty Historical Society curator andarchivist Mollie Spillman says additionsare still being made to the exhibit frompeople whose relatives played on all-black baseball teams.

“Families are excited to share theirfathers stories, their grandfathers sto-ries and photographs, which were large-ly unpublished before their deaths,”Spillman said.

The list of players who played on all-black teams in the state is filled withmany who went on to highly successfulbaseball careers.

“I think people are going to beamazed at the list of people who playedhere in Minnesota,” White said.

African-American Minnesota Twinsplayers are featured in the exhibit, Whitesaid. The exhibit was to be featured at the2011 Twins Fest, but the collapse of theMetrodome and relocation of the festivalprevented the exhibit from showing.TwinsFest 2012 will hopefully feature“For the Love of the Game,” White said.

Part of the exhibit deals with inform-ing people that there were segregatedbaseball teams in a northern state suchas Minnesota, White said. Many peoplehe has met are surprised to learn that.

Spillman agrees that this part of histo-ry is worth telling.

“[The exhibit] gives recognition to out-standing athletes that were denied partic-ipation in many locations because of thecolor of their skin or the language theyspoke,” she said.

The exhibit is special in that it’shuman-oriented and an unearthing oftheir stories, Spillman said.

“It’s the history of people,” Spillmansaid. “It’s a personal story and I thinkeverybody can relate to that in some way –about hardships, about triumphs andabout accomplishments.”

For more information about the exhib-it, go to dakotacounty.us/library or call952-891-0300. The Dakota CountyBurnhaven Library is at 1101 W. CountyRoad 42 in Burnsville.

More than 5,000 children join CubScouts each year in the Northern StarCouncil, the division of the Boy Scoutsthat serves the Twin Cities and beyond.

That means a lot of the familiar blue-shirt uniforms are needed to clothe allthose green scouts. But not every scout’sfamily can afford a uniform.

Enter Brooklyn Park-based PilgrimCleaners and its fourth annual Scoutingfor Uniforms cam-paign.

The campaign,which runs duringthe month of July,seeks to collect donat-ed uniforms from thepublic for distribu-tion to scouts in need.Throughout themonth of July all 25Pilgrim Cleanerslocations will havebins to accept dona-tions of used scout-ing uniforms.Pilgrim Cleaners willremove patches ifnecessary, clean theuniforms and passthem on to theNorthern StarCouncil for distribu-tion.

Scouting uniformsof all sizes and fromall eras are needed,but this year the spe-cial focus is on CubScout uniforms.

Kent York of theNorthern StarCouncil says this year’s drive is focusingon Cub Scout uniforms because CubScouts is the entry point into the scoutingprogram, and the Northern Star Councildoesn’t want potential scouts not to joinbecause they can’t afford a uniform.

In addition, boys in the Cub Scout agegroup (first- through third-grade) tend togrow quickly and often need a differentsize uniform each year. That may be thereason why Cub Scout uniforms have runout most quickly during past distribu-tions.

Uniform donations are especiallyimportant during these tough economictimes. York said that in 2009 an independ-ent research group determined that about5,000 youth in Boy Scouts in the TwinCities received free and reduced lunch atschool. That indicated a high level of need.

Bonnie Engler is the President ofPilgrim Cleaners.

“There is a need,” she said. “Whenwe started exploring this, we realizedthere were a lot of kids who would liketo join the Boy Scouts and weren’t.”

Engler started the uniform drive fouryears ago after hearing about a similarprogram happening in another part ofthe country. The Scouting for Uniformscampaign has met with success.

“It’s grown every year,” she said.The first year the

drive collected 350uniforms. The sec-ond year it collected560 and last year itcollected 564. Thisyear the goal is to col-lect 750 uniforms.

“I think that’s areachable goal,”Engler said. “We’revery fortunate here.We have a communi-ty that’s very willingand able to donate.”

Engler said lastyear one PilgrimCleaners locationhad a man bring in awhole box of uni-forms he had beensaving.

“I’m always over-whelmed to see howwonderfully andeagerly the commu-nity responds tothese drives,” shesaid.

Engler said peoplewho don’t have useduniforms but still

want to help can donate funds to theNorthern Star Council to buy new uni-forms.

During July, uniforms can be droppedoff at all 25 Pilgrim Cleaners locations 7a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Fridayand 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The near-est location can be found at pil-grimdrycleaners.com.

Uniforms can also be dropped off atthe Golden Valley Scout Service Center,5300 Glenwood Ave. or the St. Paul ScoutService Center, 393 Marshall Ave. 8 a.m.to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Monetary contributions should besent to Northern Star Council BSA,Attn: Kent York, 5300 Glenwood Ave.,Golden Valley, MN 55422.Info:ScoutingGoodForLife.org or 763-231-7201 (Northern Star Council).

EDUCATION NOTES

District 191 authorizessale in response togovernment shutdown

At a special meeting June 22, theBurnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191Board of Education authorized the sale

of up to $12 million in aid anticipationcertificates. This action is in response toa potential state government shutdownJuly 1 that could delay state aid to schooldistricts throughout Minnesota.

Borrowing will ensure the districtcan meet its operating expenses, includ-ing paying salaries in the face of poten-tial delays in aid payments. However, it

will also result in additional interestcosts the district will have to pay.

If a state shutdown is avoided orshort-lived, the school board may chooseto sell less than the full $12 million in cer-tificates. The district needed to author-ize the sale as soon as possible, to ensureit could receive approval from the stateDepartment of Education before July 1.

Approximately 80 percent of District191 operating dollars come from thestate. In recent years, state aid paymentshave been delayed to help the state bal-ance its budget.

A school board meeting has beenscheduled for July 21 to give finalapproval to the sale.

Creations offer variedinterpretations of ‘bias’in the Twin CitiesBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The word “bias” generally carries withit a negative connotation, but for the morethan 100-plus members of one group, itsmeaning is open to interpretation.

The Lakeville Area Arts Center is host-ing “Twin Cities//On The Bias,” anexhibit from Minnesota ContemporaryQuilters, through the end of the month.Community members are invited to viewthe exhibit during regular hours at thecenter 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday throughFriday, at 20965 Holyoke Ave.

The Minneapolis-based group hasapproximately 125 members from variouscommunities in and around the TwinCities metro area, and according to mem-ber Wendy Lazear, the exhibit is issued togroup members as a challenge.

“We call them our yearly challenges,”

Lazear said. “Some of the members workon them for months. Most of that timewould be spent thinking about it.”

Lazear explained that the use of theword “bias” was not only deliberate, butalso used to encourage a wider variety ofinterpretations by members. Prior tostitching “bias” to the exhibit’s theme,the group selected the Twin Cities themebecause its annual convention was hostedin St. Paul this year.

“The title ‘Twin Cities’ was a littlevague, so we added ‘bias,’ which couldhave many meanings,” Lazear said.“Many [members] took the term literal-ly.”

As one would enter the exhibit, he orshe would see a more detailed explana-tion of the exhibit and the members’objective written out on a stand in thelobby.

“[The exhibit] reflects fiber artists’thoughts, feelings, and reflections aboutthe Twin Cities of St. Paul andMinneapolis,” a description on the stand

Burnsville co-op offers healthy eating choicesBY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Valley Natural Foods has the features you’d expect at an upscale grocery store,with an organic twist.

The Burnsville co-op has grocery and produce sections, bulk produce bins and adeli with prepared foods, cheese and meats. At a sunny dining area or outdoorpatio, customers can enjoy items purchased from the soup and salad bar or a caféserving coffee and fruit smoothies. The wellness department is stocked with vita-mins, supplements, skincare items and bulk herbs, teas and spices.

“Our philosophy is giving people healthy choices,” said marketing and commu-nications manager Charli Mills. “We want to introduce people to different ideas ofhealthy eating, so they can make choices around that.”

What sets the member-run co-op apart from other area stores? Communityinvolvement and a commitment to organic and locally grown products, Mills said.

Many of the store’s products are certified organic — free of hormones, herbi-cides and pesticides, she said. The store also focuses on stocking items fromMinnesota producers, including fruits and vegetables from Gardens of Eagan nearFarmington and meat from Hill and Vale Farms in Wykoff.

The co-op has 8,500 members, most from Burnsville and Apple Valley, but a fewregular customers travel from Iowa, Mills said. Non-members can shop at the co-op,but members get special product discounts. A $100 lifetime membership allowsmember-owners to vote in determining the co-op’s long-range goals. Founded in1977, the co-op has been in its current location since 2001.

In response to a growing number of customer requests, the store stocks manyproducts that are dairy-free or gluten-free, Mills said. Shelf tags designate thegluten-free status of items and the co-op recently introduced a line of gluten-freebreads, muffins and cupcakes produced at an off-site bakehouse.

Customer service is an important part of the store’s success, said wellnessdepartment manager Naomi Lundberg. The wellness department’s staff can adviseshoppers on herbal or holistic remedies, she said. “We never try to take the place ofa doctor,” she said. “We’ll always tell them to with their practitioner, but manytimes there are different herbal things, or more holistic ways to go about healingthan just taking antibiotics.”

Valley Natural Foods has developed educational programs to help customers fit

whole, fresh foods into their diets. They include gardening classes and cookingclasses using fresh ingredients like tomatoes, corn and herbs. Promoting children’shealthy habits is the focus of the current “5210 Challenge” campaign. Kids can winprizes and sign up for activities during the four-week program, which runs throughJuly 27.

As part of its commitment to healthy living, the co-op has also installed commu-nity gardens on its property, said community garden manager Gary Johnson. Somegardeners are digging in the dirt for the first time, while others are condo or apart-ment dwellers, he said. Peppers, radishes, strawberries and marigolds grow inabout 45 rented plots arranged in two circular areas, each measuring about eightfeet across.

The store’s products and programs aim to offer consumers a range of healthyoptions, Mills said. “We’re not trying to tell them what to do or how to do it, butwe’re here to support and encourage and provide those kinds of choices,” she said.

beansBeans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

eggsEggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for egg- whites for the low-cholesterol, fat- burning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

low-fat dairyStudies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

oatmealOatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

lean meatsSearch for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

whole grainsOur body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.

interval training

I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize,

reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness where

people have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices you

make are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it be

even better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary?

Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end.

The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you right

back where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on a

Lifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitably

lead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

reads. “Their creations include a varietyof techniques including the use of hand-dyed fabrics, embroidery, machine piec-ing and quilting, fusibles, bead embell-ishments, photo transfer, appliqué, weav-ing, knitting, hand painting on fabric andtemplate rubbings.”

Though the group consists of quiltersfirst and foremost, its members comefrom various backgrounds. Some wouldbe called fiber artists, while others camefrom traditional quilting and art back-grounds.

Group member Sharon Englundentered a quilt project called“Minnehaha Creek Bias.” When Englundbegan her project, she was not entirelysure what she desired to create. After all,the challenge was issued with little infor-mation and few rules. Englund initially

wanted to make a quilt with curved piec-ing in different ways, but when sheobtained a piece of fabric that to herlooked like water, her decision was made.

“I love the diversity of the TwinCities, so that’s why [I chose] the fish,”she said, describing her piece.

Lazear meanwhile has her own piecetitled “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.”The piece features translucent coyotelayered over the skyline of the TwinCities. She described a typical quilt, say-ing that it was a process of puttingtogether many pieces of various types offabrics.

Despite referring to these exhibits asyearly challenges, they are not contests.Instead, it is simply a group of like-minded individuals doing somethingthey enjoy a great deal.

“We have a lot of fun,” Englund said.“We are never judgmental because weare all working our art the way we dobest. We are always grateful when peopletake the time to view them.”

The University of Minnesota footballteam has a quarterback issue with thegraduation of four-year starter AdamWeber. Lakeville South’s MitchellLeidner might help the Gophers solvethat problem even though he won’tarrive on campus until 2012.

Leidner, who is entering his senioryear at Lakeville South, verbally com-mitted to Minnesota on June 29. Hecompeted in Minnesota’s 7-on-7 passingtournament June 25 and evidently didenough to convince the coaching staffhis future was at quarterback. TheGophers initially had shown interest inLeidner as a tight end.

Leidner, 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds,passed for 17 touchdowns and morethan 2,000 yards at South last season. Hewas part of two Cougars teams thatplayed in state tournaments. The foot-ball squad reached the state Class 5Aquarterfinals. Leidner also started atforward for the South basketball teamthat won the Class 4A, Section 3 cham-pionship.

They includeBurnsville and No. 3-ranked Maple Grove,whose high school teams just played forthe state Class 3A championship(Burnsville won 6-5 with a stunning sev-enth-inning rally). The Dakota Countyteams are spread across multiple sites sothey won’t face each other in pool play. Oneof the goals of the Gopher Classic is forteams to play new opponents.

“When you enter the Gopher Classic,you will be playing against teams you don’tnormally see,” said Peck, the tournamentdirector. “The mix of teams makes thetournament special.”

Eagan is interested in being host of the2014 state American Legion tournament,Nagel said, and organizers were advised totreat the Gopher Classic as a trial run.

In Eagan, proceeds from the three daysof pool-play games will go to the communi-ty’s traveling baseball teams for players 16and older – Legion, Junior Legion, SeniorBabe Ruth and VFW.

It would be nice to make some money,Nagel said, but “we want to make sure it’sa good experience for the out-of-townteams. We’d like to put on a good show.”

Eagan was 11-8 overall before taking abreak for the July 4 weekend. The Patriotsplayed a doubleheader against top-rankedBurnsville on June 29, winning the firstgame 3-1 before losing the second 15-1.
