assistant of the year
Robbinsdale
Area
Schools staff announced
April 29 that Judie Bomchill has been named the
school districts Education Assistant of the
Year.
The Lakeview Elementary School EA was
surprised with the news
during a visit from Peter
Eckhoff, president of the
Robbinsdale Federation
of Teachers, and other
union representatives on
April 27.
In Judie we have an
outstanding example of
the great contributions
that education assistants
make to our mission
here in Robbinsdale Area
Schools, Eckhoff said.
Shell be an outstanding
representative of the education assistants.
Eckhoff and other

the gun, and the victim
attempted to drive away
as Height allegedly tried
to maneuver his own vehicle to block the victim,
who called police shortly
after that.
Crystal police searched
Heights home and found
a handgun matching a
description provided by
the victim, who also positively identified Height
in a double-blind photo
line-up, according to
the complaint. The complaint describes the handgun as stainless steel
and black polymer with
a magazine containing 17
rounds.
Crystal Deputy Police
Chief Doug Leslin said
police dont believe the
incident was gang- or
drug-related. He declined
to name the victim, citing
potential safety concerns.
It looks like these
guys didnt know each
other, Leslin said, adding that the incident was
taken very seriously
by the Crystal Police Department because of how
uncommon it is. It was
more of a road rage type
of thing.
The maximum sentence
for terroristic threats is
five years in prison, a
$10,000 fine or both. The
crime is a felony.
Crystal police say a

man antagonized a passing motorist in midApril, running up to the
car and pointing a pistol
after the motorist drove
past the mans house one
too many times.
The following allegations were included in a
criminal complaint filed
by investigators in Hennepin County District
Court.
Dantrail Height was
charged with terroristic
threats after he allegedly
drove his car into the
middle of Elmhurst Avenue in Crystal to block
an unnamed victim from

says the victim was trying to meet his wife to
drop off a phone charger

of Elmhurst three times.

In his inaugural state

of the district address,
Robbinsdale Area Schools
Superintendent
Carlton
Jenkins characterized his
school district as an inclusive one with a solidified
plan to move toward excellence and a general upward trajectory.
We recognize diversity
as our strength, he told
attendees at the April 26
speech at FAIR Crystal,
a fourth- to eighth-grade
school the district acquired

last summer. If youve
been in this community
now ten years, youve seen
the transformation. We
dont lower the standards.
We get better because of
diversity.
Jenkins outlined districtwide priorities like kindergarten readiness, a topic
that has come to the fore
in the statewide education
discussion. Gov. Mark
Dayton, for instance, made
expanding access to early
childhood programming
a priority in light of the
states expected $900 million surplus.

We only have a third
of the students in our district in early childhood
programming,
Jenkins
said. Were going to have
to move beyond our walls
and work with the private
providers of early childhood to gather a standard
so that all children in our
community, regardless of
socioeconomic or race or
gender, sexual orientation,
that they can be provided
that quality early childhood.
Improving third-grade
literacy was another priority, which Jenkins said correlates strongly with high
school graduation rates.
Our district, we have to
say, were not there, yet,
he told attendees. When
we see less than 55 percent
of our children being proficient and were not alone;
were not alone in the gap
disparities thats happening at third grade in the
state of Minnesota, theyre
atrocious. But theyre solvable.
Other priorities include improving high
school graduation rates

Animal Humane Society gears

up for another Walk for Animals
Family-friendly event is May 7
BY GINA PURCELL
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Each month, 1,000 to
2,000 or more animals
wind up at one of Animal
Humane Societys five locations.
Dogs, puppies, cats,
kittens and other animals
are either strays, surrendered by their owner,
returned, victims of animal cruelty or transferred
from another agency.
Animal Humane Society does not turn away
any animal but instead
cares for it with the ultimate goal of placing it
with a loving family. Although the organization
aims at placing all ani-
mals within its care, euthanasia remains present.

According to President
and CEO Janelle Dixon,
the term no kill does
not mean what most people think it does.
No kill does not equal
no euthanasia, she said
in an article for the 2015
annual report.
In general, Dixon said,
a shelter calling itself nokill means that 90 percent
of the animals leave alive.
But some organizations
may blur the definition
to say that 90 percent
of adoptable animals or
healthy animals, versus
all animals, are placed.

Lionsgate Quiz Bowl team heads to nationals

Lionsgate
Academys
Quiz Bowl team and 79
others from across the
country headed to nationals in Chicago at the end
of April.
The team one of four
from Minnesota was
captained by student Sean
Santelmann, and included
fellow students Joey Firestone, Terrance Gray, Ian
Honse and Noah Joseph.
The team was coached by
Nate Anderson, Brandy
Dougherty, Aimee Herbes, and Joel Justin.
Lionsgate finished the
preliminary rounds with a
4-5 record, and squeaked

by Mound-Westonka 195190 in the sixth round of
competition after finding
themselves in a 80 point
deficit, Anderson said.
It looked like we were
at the point of no return,
he said. The team scored
85 points in the final 40
seconds to earn the win.
They ultimately lost in
the 11th round to Ohiobased Toledo Arts.
The tournament champion was Advanced Math
& Science Academy Charter School of Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Quiz bowl is a competitive, academic, interscholastic activity for teams

of four students. Quiz
bowl teams use buzzers
to answer questions about
science, math, history,
literature, mythology, geography, social science,
current events, sports and
popular culture.
The matches feature a
blend of individual competition and team collaboration, since no individual player is likely to
be an expert in all subject
areas - Lionsgates team
had specialists in sports
knowledge, music, and

so on. Competitors are
quizzed on their knowledge of history, science,
literature, fine arts, geography, the social sciences,
current events, and other
areas of study. The questions are generally collegelevel ones, Anderson said.
Its very rigorous, he
explained, adding that
team members have to
come up with decisions together, on the fly, and rely
on each other. Questions
tested competitors knowledge of Faulkner, trigonometry, and the Pauli
Exclusion Principle.
The Lionsgate team also
nailed a question about
the Minnesota Vikings.
We emphatically got
the buzzer on that one,
Anderson said.

Metro Transit offers tour of future C-Line Route

Route to begin construction in 2018
BY CHRISTIAAN TARBOX
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Metro Transit representatives offered a tour of
the route running from
North Minneapolis to
Brooklyn Center that will
materialize in the form of
bus rapid transit in 2019.
A preview was given
for the upcoming C-Line
route, which will be the
second Arterial Bus Rapid
Transit route in the metro,
following the June 11 debut of the Snelling Avenue/Ford Parkway A-Line
in St. Paul.
The C-Line will run
from 8th and Park and 7th
and Park in North Minneapolis, hook around
Olson and Penn Avenues,
and straight down Penn
Avenue until reaching its
end at the Brooklyn Center Transit Center.
The route will service
residents in North Minneapolis, Crystal, Brooklyn
Park and Brooklyn Center.
The C-Line Station Plan
was approved by the Metropolitan Council April
27 and, pending full project funding, will begin
construction in 2018 with
a projected 2019 service
start.
This is going to be a
huge component of how

we provide improved ridership for people, said
Met Council spokesman
John Schadl. This is all
part of an integrated system that were trying to
put together thatll serve
the needs of the region.
In the past 10 years, weve
seen a 14 percent increase
in transit ridership. During that time, weve had
no new significant funding for local buses. So this
BRT option is going to be
one of the ways that were
meeting that growing demand.
Metro Transit asserts
that the C-Line will provide an improved experience on the Route 19
corridor via faster service, train-like features,
enhanced stations and
security and larger vehicles. The C-Line buses
will come in the form of
60-foot-long articulated
vehicles, much larger than
current Metro Transit
buses.
The reason for that is
the extra capacity is really
needed on this route, said
ABRT project manager
Katie Roth. A lot of our
buses out there today are
quite full, and by having
those longer buses, well
Metro Transit Bus Rapid Transit Project Manager Katie Roth explains the specics of the proposed C-Line Arterial Bus Rapid Transit
project, due to begin construction in 2018. (Sun Post staff photo by Christiaan Tarbox)
be able to have more seats,
more capacity, more room
for the future growth and
more space for people to
move around.
These buses have about
34 seats, and well probably see about 50 percent
more seats on that 60-foot
bus, Roth continued.

Metro Transit is currently

in the process of finalizing where the C-Lines 23
stations would be located
on the route. Talks with
the Met Council are still
in progress. The C-Line is
currently estimated to cost
$30-35 million, with half
of that funding currently
identified.
Were seeking another

$15 million to fully fund
the project, said Roth.
Right now, were hopeful that the state Legislature and the governors
transportation bill would
fully fund that project and
many other rapid bus lines
like it. If not, were going
to continue to look for a

Today, 7,600 riders
are served on Route 19
daily, with Roth describing it as the sixth or seventh busiest route in the

Take the rhetoric

down a notch
Did you know, gentle readers, that your gas range could be
similar to a meth lab because
the chemical used is extremely
flammable and explosive?
Thats how Department of
Public Safety spokesperson
Brian Marquart described the
production of marijuana wax
a concentrated form of the
common, flowering version of
the drug to a St. Cloud Times
reporter last year: similar to a
meth lab. A Star Tribune reporters first question after an April
22 press conference in Robbinsdale about the dangers of wax
was: So, is this the new meth?
The purpose of the conference was to tell the public about
wax and the potential hazards
thereof, but the ever-present
insinuation and occasional outright statement was that marijuana wax is plainly dangerous
potentially fatal, even.
Here are the adverse effects
of marijuana wax, according to
the department: increased blood
pressure and heart rate; nausea
and vomiting; impaired concentration and judgement; and
cannabis induced psychosis.
A doctor at the conference
told me the symptoms of that
psychosis are paranoia, hallucinations and agitation. Interestingly enough, she could
only guess at the exact rate at
which psychosis is induced by
regular, floral cannabis, nor did
she know what the rate was for
marijuana wax, despite having
said categorically that one was
higher than the other.
The states poison control system, she said, reported nine inquiries from healthcare facilities
treating patients for marijuana
wax symptoms. Other news
outlets, apparently, took that to
mean overdoses. Marijuana
wax was linked to two nonfatal teen overdoses in Duluth, according to the Star Tribune. The
only direct documentation of
that incident I could dig up was
a Forum News Service article
from March 2015 that said one
of the teens saw the world as a
cartoon and told his mom he

BOWEN
SUN POST
NEWSPAPERS
couldnt breathe before being

taken to the hospital. For what
its worth: There have been exactly zero cases of a fatal marijuana overdose.
Police telling the public to
watch out for potential danger
is a crucial part of their jobs,
and thats not my objection to
the April 22 press conference.
Nausea and hallucinations and
respiratory problems are no
joke, especially if youre behind
the wheel. Warning people not
to use too much cannabis is a
worthwhile endeavor, and marijuana is illegal in most parts
of the country. Knowing more
about it can help citizens and
their kids be healthier and stay
on the right side of the law.
What I object to is the rhetoric used when discussing wax
specifically
and
marijuana
generally. Its one thing to say,
Dont smoke weed and drive,
or Dont smoke weed - those
are both eminently reasonable
and excellent policies for people
to consider for a variety of reasons.
Its another thing entirely,
however, to insinuate that producing wax is like producing
meth, an empirically terrible
drug that has plenty of actuallyfatal overdoses linked to it. Its
another thing to repeatedly call
a drug that is demonstrably less
harmful than alcohol dangerous to users and producers
while telling reporters how difficult it is to keep that drug off
the streets here in Minnesota
because its legal in other states.
Apparently anarchist wastelands like Colorado and Washington dont place the same priority on public safety.
I want to make it clear that I
am not advocating breaking the
Why the Met Council

needs reforming now
The Twin Cities regional government the Metropolitan

Council touches almost every
aspect of our daily lives. It dictates the density of our cities;
taxes us; owns and operates the
sewer and transit systems; and
picks municipal winners and losers on development. Going forward, it plans to distribute people in a government-approved
mix of race and income throughout the metro area.
Yet remarkably, this powerful
body which can dictate to and
even overrule our local elected
officials is composed of 17
unelected people appointed by,
and answerable only to, the governor.
No wonder Minnesotas Legislative Auditor has declared
that the Council lacks accountability, transparency and
credibility.
A bipartisan movement to reform the Met Council is currently underway at the Minnesota
Legislature. Fortunately, a new

far missing from the debate to

guide much-needed reform. (Access the report at katanacommunity.com or at americanexperiment.org.)
The report, by business consultant Kevin Terrell of Minneapolis, compares the Met Council to dozens of other regional
governments from Seattle to
Denver and Atlanta in terms
of both its democratic accountability and the scope of its powers. The council is a radical outlier in both respects.
For example, says the report,
nearly all other large metro regions are governed by a Council of Governments, composed
predominantly of local elected
officials accountable to the voters. Yet none of these COGs has
the breath-taking power of the

Met Council.
Consider this: The unelected
Met Council can levy and increase taxes without voter approval. In fact, its current $80
million property tax levy supports more spending than the
entire budget of 15 of the largest
regional authorities, according
to the report.
By comparison, the handful of
other regional governments that
can tax got that power directly
from the voters, and cannot raise
taxes without voter approval.
Can we excuse the Met Councils lack of democratic legitimacy by pointing to its success
in bringing prosperity to our
region? The fact is, the Twin Cities metro lags peer regions like
Seattle, Portland and Denver on
population growth, job growth
and transit ridership, according
to the report.
The councils new 25-year

Changes could be coming for Met Council

Chances are if you were asked
who governs Metro Transits
bus and light rail systems, you
wouldnt answer, The Metropolitan Council.
Or if you ever wanted to know
who processes the sewer coming
from your house, you might be
surprised to learn its the Metropolitan Council.
And if you wondered who
operates the regional park near
you, youd discover it is the Metropolitan Council.
If you knew the Met Council also has helped plan the 182
communities in the seven-county
area since 1967 and has some

PUBLISHERS
power to tax, youd probably pay

attention.
Perhaps if you learned that
commissioners from Scott, Dakota, Anoka and Carver counties
have hired a lobbyist and want to
change who is on the 16-member council, youd wonder why.
Whats all the fuss about?
Those commissioners contend
the council should be elected or

at least its members should be
elected officials, like county commissioners.
Ever since the council was
formed, its members have been
appointed by the governor for
the state leaders time in office.
The upstart county commissioners dont like some of the
councils decisions, specifically
how it allocates transportation
dollars and how it affects the
growth, particularly where affordable housing is located.
For years, the Legislature has
tried to avoid changing the council, partly because, I believe, it
doesnt want a regional elected

body that will take away some of
its powers.
This probably will be the year
the Legislature makes some
changes in how the council members are nominated.
This initiative is coming after
a study by the respected Citizens League that advocates an
expanded nominating committee. It would include three city
members, three county members
and seven members appointed by
the governor. Now it is a sevenmember committee.
The league is recommending
staggered terms instead of ones
that run the duration of the governors term.

Rep. Tony Albright, R-Prior
Lake, has a bill that would allow only elected city and county
officials to be appointed to the
council. Unless amended, thats
unlikely to pass.
Something will pass as legislators have a solution looking for
a problem.

No classroom necessary for New Hope student
It was free and the curriculum was academically

challenging and rigorous,
so we decided to give it a
try, Jennifer said.
Although it was a big adjustment at first, the Franz
children had it figured out
only a few months later.

Flexibility is definitely a
benefit (to attending an online school), as is the freedom to spend as much or
as little time on a subject as
I need, Franz said. One
of the challenges is feeling connected, although
taking honors classes with
around 12 other dedicated
students really helped. The
teachers were great and
made learning fun.
Her favorite subject is
computer science.
I was first introduced
to it in a web design class
I took my freshman year at
Minnesota Virtual Academy, Franz said. It was
a great class, and I wanted
to learn more. With PSEO
it has allowed me to go be-
yond what my high school

offers in terms of programming classes.
As a way to gain service
hours for a National Honor
Society project, Franz got
involved with CoderDojo,
a global movement of free,
volunteer-led, communitybased programming clubs
for youth ages 7-17.
CoderDojo helps kids
learn how to code, develop
websites, apps, programs,
games and explore technology.
Franz surpassed her 15hour requirement a long
time ago but remains a
mentor for the program.
I feel that Im needed
and that the kids appreciate me, and thats reward
enough, she said.
Franz is also a supplemental instructor in two

computer science classes at
Normandale Community
College in Bloomington
and will work part-time in
computer
programming
this summer.
In addition, she works
in concessions at professional and college sporting
events.
In the past six years at
Minnesota Virtual Academy, Franz has taken her
fair share of honors classes, including American
literature, geometry, earth
science, biology and AP
U.S. history.
She did not stop there.
Franz began taking college classes two years ago
through PSEO.
She is finishing up with

machine architecture, discrete structures of computer science, general biology and microeconomics at
Normandale.
She has also already
taken calculus 1, calculus
2, physics with calculus,
freshman
composition,
American literature 2,
survey of chemistry, introduction to computing and
problem solving, computer
programming
concepts,
history of western civilization 1 and art history.
The Minnesota Virtual
Academy totally prepared
Abigail for her PSEO
classes, Jennifer said.
Their online format and
roads. Thats because it is

driven by an ideology
transit-oriented development that is hostile to
cars and roads. No wonder
the commissioners of the
metro areas five ring counties have unanimously declared the plan guarantees
a bleak future for the regional highway system.
Terrells report con-
cludes by laying out alternatives for enhancing the

Met Councils accountability and credibility, and
reining in its powers.
Though the report
makes no specific recommendations, one of the
best reform options may
be to have each of the regions seven county boards
choose a member to ap-
point to the council. The

other 10 members could
be city council members
chosen by city councils in
10 new regional districts.
All would serve at the
will of the bodies that appointed them.
Most importantly, the
legislature should restrict
the Met Councils sprawling mission perhaps us-
ing the break-up of ATT

into Baby Bells as a
model. A new state agency
could coordinate regional
planning. City and county
housing authorities could
handle affordable housing, while separate bodies
could own and operate the
transit system to eliminate
conflicts of interest.
Given current politi-
cal realities, change this

extensive is likely not
possible. But one thing is
clear: Reform is urgently
overdue.

Legislators seek leverage for light rail approval

Effort led by Sen. Latz threatens to withhold votes for bonding bill
BY SETH ROWE
SUN SAILOR
NEWSPAPERS
Seven supporters of
the Southwest Light
Rail Transit line in the
DFL-led
Minnesota
Senate have warned their
colleagues they will not
support a state bonding
bill if the Legislature
does not approve funding for the line.
Sen. Ron Latz (DFLSt. Louis Park) is helping lead the effort. Six
other senators signed the
April 25 letter to Sen.
LeRoy Stumpf (DFLPlummer), chair of the
Senate Capital Investment Committee.
In addition to Latz,
Sen. John Hoffman
(DFL-Champlin), Sen.
Melisa Franzen (DFLEdina), Sen. Kathy
Sheran (DFL-Mankato), Sen. Jim Carlson
(DFL-Eagan),
Sen.
Barb Goodwin (DFLColumbia Heights) and
Sen. Chris Eaton (DFLBrooklyn Center) participated.
The senators said they
are strong supporters of
the line, which would

extend the Green Line
from downtown Minneapolis to Eden Prairie,
passing through St. Louis Park, Hopkins and
Minnetonka on the way.
The states remaining
share of the project is
$135 million. Providing
the funds would allow
the project to qualify for
$895 million from the
federal government, the
letter states.
We want to let you
know that we will not
vote for a bonding bill
that does not contain the
SWLRT funding unless
that funding is already
secured in another part
of the legislative process, the letter states.
The senators involved
with the letter said they
do not care if the funding is included in the
bonding bill, a transportation bill, part of
a metro-wide sales tax
for transit or another
source, as long as the
funding is guaranteed
in the final legislative
agreements at the end of
the session.
If so, then we will
vote for the balanced

bonding bill, they said.
The bonding bill,
which would allow the
state to borrow money
from investors for a set
of projects throughout
the state, requires 60
percent of legislators in
both chambers to vote
in favor of it in order to
pass.
The letter did not include the signature of
Sen. Terri Bonoff (DFLMinnetonka), who plans
to run for Congress
in Minnesotas Third
Congressional District.
However, she raised the
idea for a similar strategy during an April 8
TwinWest Chamber of
Commerce
legislative
breakfast in St. Louis
Park.
Bonoff recalled legislative efforts to prompt
the Minnesota Department of Transportation
to expand Interstate 494
between Highway 55 in
Plymouth and Interstate
94 in Maple Grove.
We had a plan that
were going to speak in
one voice and say we
werent going to do one
more thing until we expanded 494, Bonoff

said. Shortly thereafter
that happened.
She suggested legislators representing the
area near the proposed
Southwest Light Rail
Transit line could use a
similar strategy by refusing to vote for bills until
the transit line wins legislative support.
When you talk about
the weak support in the
House and Senate leadership for Southwest,
its because those leaders
dont touch our community, Bonoff said after
remarks from Metropolitan Council Chair
Adam Duininck and
MnDOT Commissioner
Charles Zelle. But we
have a powerful voice
when we all stand together.
Speaker of the House
Kurt Daudt (R-Crown)
took the opportunity at
a February TwinWest
Chamber of Commerce
legislative breakfast in
St. Louis Park to strongly denounce the Southwest line.
Daudt acknowledged
that he knew some people in the room supported the Southwest light
rail line. However, he
continued, The public
is not with you.
Ninety percent of
Minnesotans use roads
and bridges, he asserted.
The light rail thing is
going to be a problem,
Daudt said. The votes
simply do not exist in
the Legislature to pass it.
What people hate with
what we do in St. Paul is
when we put something
that doesnt have enough
votes to stand alone and
pit it against something
thats popular.
The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce has
supported the Southwest Light Rail Transit
line for years. Leaders
point to the anticipated
increase of thousands of
jobs in the corridor.
President
Barack
Obama included $125
million for the proposed
project in his plan for
the federal governments
2017 fiscal year budget.
Project planner hope
the federal government

half of the lines costs.

The Metropolitan Council is currently estimating
the total cost of the line
at $1.79 billion.
The state would pay 10
percent of the lines cost,
including money legislators approved in the
past. The Counties Transit Improvement Board
and the Hennepin County Regional Railroad
Authority have agreed to
pay for part of the project. Suburbs along the
line have also agreed to
provide assistance.
Of the required remainder of the state
funding, a Southwest
Light Rail Transit project newsletter last December warned, Absent
the full $135 million
funding appropriation
in the 2016 legislative
session, Southwest LRT
would fall to the back
of the federal funding
queue for New Starts
projects. This would delay the project and cost
an additional $50 million
for each year of delay.

Peak declares
re-election bid
for Crystal City
Council seat
Incumbent Crystal City
Councilmember
Casey
Peak announced May 2
that he will seek a second
term as the citys Ward 3
council member.
Peak said he is proud of
the citys code review task
force.
Now that our city
code is being revamped, I
am focusing on building
strong community interaction, curbing the need for
intrusive city regulations,
he wrote in his re-election
announcement. I was instrumental in getting our

work sessions recorded
and always looking for
new ways to improve our
process.
Peak said he is proud of
the current councils efforts to limit and eventually eliminate debt based
financing, as evidenced
by its cash-only decision
to pay for the citys new
public works facility.
If re-elected I will continue to be a part of this
policy as it saves the community millions in unnecessary finance charges, he
wrote.
Peak was first elected in
2012.

McClellon on fast track for state title contention

BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Dont blink trying to
watch Armstrongs Evan
McClellon sprint.
In the 100-meter dash,
one only has about 10
seconds to watch him.
His bursting speed led to
state title contention in
the 100 and 200 during
the past two springs. The
Falcons senior came up
short at state both years,
but has his eyes set on
titles and records in both
next month.
McClellon looks well
on his way to doing just
that.
He set a meet record for
a second-straight week in
the event on Friday, April
29, at the Hamline Elite
Meet.
His 10.57 seconds
claimed a convincing win
the event, and he followed
it up with a victory in the
200. The Falcons senior
clocked 21.36 for the 200
to beat another meet record.
I just wanted to win

the Armstrong Invitational on April 22. That
meet drew top teams such
as Edina, Eden Prairie,
Chanhassen and Champlin Park.
Particularly, McClellon
swept rival Denzel Brown
of Eden Prairie at the
meet. Brown didnt race
in the Hamline meet.
Nonetheless, McClellon had a monster meet
at Hamline, the last time
he will race there until the
state meet in June. State
hasnt gone McClellons
way despite all of his

sprinting success, something he hopes to change
in his final season at Armstrong.
As a sophomore in his
first year out for track,
McClellon
burst
on
the scene and qualified
for state in sprints. He
reached the finals but got
injured on the slick track
during a rainy second day
of the meet.
McClellon
bounced
back last year for two second-place finishes against
seniors Sam Zenner of

Eagan and Akeem Sirleaf
North St. Paul.
I was so focused, I forgot that I had to clear my
mind and just think about
winning,
McClellon
said. All I though about
was trying to beat my
competition, and thats
what made me mess up.
Strong competition indeed. Sirleaf now runs
for junior college power
Butler in Kansas. Zenner,
the younger brother of
Detroit Lions running
back Sam Zenner, now

plays Division I football
at South Dakota State.
McClellon
similarly
took his sprinting talents
to the gridiron in his last
two years of high school.
He played running back
for the Falcons and
amassed 705 yards and
eight touchdowns last fall
with his breakaway speed.
Friends of McClellon
encouraged him to come
out for the team. Similarly, track took some
encouragement too originally with his mother suggesting the sport.
Running came naturally to Evan McClellon. He
and his sister raced each
other constantly growing
up, and he anticipates his
sister doing well at Armstrong down the road.
Youll be hearing of
her soon, McClellon
said.
A two-sport athlete at
Armstrong, track remains
McClellons main sport.
He competes in AAU
track with the Park Flyers
club during the summer,
which includes national
competition. He placed at
nationals last year.
McClellon plans to run
track in college at Division II Minnesota StateMankato and major in
computer science. For
now, he hopes to keep
sprinting for a state high
school crown, or two,
with a month left in his
senior season.

Todd Norholm said.
It also kept some momentum going for Cooper
well into the final quarter.
Travis Hellen added goal
unassisted with 7:12 left
as the Hawks outscored
Hutch 4-2 in span of 6:37.
Cooper trimmed the Tigers lead to 11-4, but the
home team added a couple more goals to keep the
lead safe.
Nonetheless
Cooper
looked more like the team
Norholm envisions for
that final stretch than the
squad that took its lumps
for almost three quarters
with a 9-0 deficit. Cooper
also had only one goal
all season before that 4-2

spurt in the second half.
Cole Ashley-Grochowski had that lone goal in a
17-1 loss to St. Louis Park
on April 19. Otherwise,
the Hawks have endured
a couple 18-0 shutouts by
Hopkins and Chaska.
All of our opponents
are tough, Norholm
said. Our conference is
very competitive. We aspire to field a team which
can compete with them.
Youth has the Hawks
playing catchup with opponents. Norholm noted
that he has several firsttime lacrosse players on
the squad.
Numbers could also
grow too. The Hawks

couldnt field a junior
varsity team with just 19
players out for the program this spring.
There is opportunity
for other athletes to join
our young lacrosse team
and have an immediate effect, Norholm said.
While Pellizer had an
immediate impact on offense for the Hawks in a
short span at Hutch, he
has performed consistently on defense all season. Pellizer has picked
up 22 ground balls in four
games, a team high.
Such play also means
Pellizer will not hang up
the lacrosse stick for the
organized game after

graduating from Cooper.
He will compete with
the Carlton College club
team next season.
For now, Pellizer can
help the young Hawks
improve with a four-game
stretch of home contests
ahead. It starts with Providence Academy (1-4) on
Thursday at 6 p.m. Cooper then hosts Chanhassen (4-1) on Tuesday, May
10 followed up by Bloomington Kennedy (2-4) and
Hill-Murray (2-2) on May
12 and 14 respectively.

The Hawks have a
3-6 record thus far, but
theyve challenged some

beat Cooper 1-0 in a
Tuesday, April 26 contest.
After scoring the first

Cooper fell behind big

The Hawks seek to regain

It concludes quite the

Hawks. They faced defending state champion
Chanhassen (7-1) on

in fact, it might be better
than the Minnesota State

Five Hopkins girls competed in the Hamline Elite

Hopkins head coach Andrea Yesnes likes the way

Renae and Bit both had
a good night at Hamline,
she said. Renaes time
is the seventh-fastest in
school history. She is a very
versatile runner, who can
do anything from the 400
to the 3,200. Last year she
even ran one of our fastest 200s. Shes a real utility
player.
Klecker has similar versatility. As year-round runners, these two girls are always in shape and ready to
perform.
Bit is coming along really well, and like Renae
is always ready to do what
we need her to do, said
Yesnes.

respect to the above-named child,
including rights of inheritance.
READ CAREFULLY
NOTICE OF EFFECT OF
TERMINATION JUDGEMENT
Georgia law provides that you
can permanently lose your rights
as a parent. A petition to terminate parental rights has been filed
requesting the court to terminate
your parental rights to your children. A copy of the petition to terminate parental rights is attached
to this notice. A court hearing of
your case has been scheduled for
the 14th day of July, 2016 at 9:30
a.m. at the Juvenile Court of Glynn
County.
If you fail to appear, the court
can terminate your parental rights
in your absence.
If the court at the trial finds that
the facts set out in the petition to
terminate parental rights are true
and that termination of your rights
will serve the best interest of your
children, the court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your
children.
If the judgment terminates your
parental rights, you will no longer
have any rights to your children.
This means that you will not have
the right to visit, contact, or have
custody of your children or make
any decisions affecting your children or your childrens earnings or
property. Your children will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else.
Even if your parental rights are
terminated: (1) You will be responsible for providing financial support
(child support payments) for your
childrens care unless and until
your children are adopted; and (2)
Your child can still inherit from you
unless and until your children are
adopted.
This is a very serious matter. You
should contact an attorney immediately so that you can be prepared
for the court hearing. You have the
right to hire an attorney and to have
him or her represent you. If you
cannot afford to hire an attorney,
the court will appoint an attorney if
the court finds that you are an indigent person. Whether or not you
decide to hire an attorney, you have
the right to attend the hearings of
your case, to call witnesses on your
behalf, and to question those witnesses brought on against you.
If you have any questions concerning this notice, you may call
the telephone number of the clerks
office which is: 912-554-7048.
If you want a lawyer appointed
to represent you, you must let the
Court or the officer of this Court
handling this case know that you
want a lawyer immediately.
WITNESS the Honorable George
M. Rountree, Judge of said Court.
SO ORDERED, this the 18th day of
April, 2016.

Plymouth Rockers celebrate 25 years of music

All You Need Is Love concert
set for Sunday, May 15
BY KRISTEN MILLER
SUN SAILOR NEWSPAPERS
In 1991, a group of
nine singers joined together to perform as
part of the senior singing group, the Plymouth
Rockers.
Twenty-five
years later, that number
has grown to include 76
singers from all over the
Twin Cities metro area.
On Sunday, May 15,
the Plymouth Rockers
will celebrate 25 years as
part of its spring concert,
All You Need is Love.
The Plymouth Rockers
rehearse each Monday at
the Plymouth Creek Center in Plymouth. There
are no singing requirements, just that you are
55 years or older. We
hope you can read music,
but thats not an absolute must, said Marilou
Thibault, who began per-
forming with the Plymouth Rockers in 1991.

A
neighbor
had
stopped by her house to
visit, but she quickly had
to run off to make rehearsal as a member of
the Plymouth Rockers.
Having been a performer all her life - including
the first female news anchor for KSTP in 1968
- Thibaults ears perked
up, she said.
The following Monday,
Thibault went to rehearsal. Ive been there ever
since, she said.
While she loves singing, Thibault also enjoys
the camaraderie she finds
within the group.
Adorned in red blazers,
the Plymouth Rockers
participate in 70 activities
a year, including 30 concerts and 40 rehearsals.
Its just amazing how
they keep up with me,
Plymouth Rockers perform during a concert in May 2014. (Submitted photo)

said Plymouth Rockers
Director David Halligan
of Shakopee, who has
been directing community choruses since 1980.
Halligans began as a
music teacher, which allowed him to develop
the chorus to a higher
level skill-set, he said,
noting the choir understands music better and
the importance of finding

meaning in a song.
From rock and roll to
show tunes, the Plymouth Rockers provides
audiences with a variety
of songs.
We keep it very entertaining, Halligan said,
adding that they try to
perform familiar songs.
Songs include: Climb
Every Mountain from

The Sound of Music and
pop songs like Lean On
Me. Gospel and patriotic songs are also a part
of the playlist.
With the oldest member being 94 years young,
Halligan said being a
part of a group like the
Plymouth Rockers acts
as a wellness program
for retired folks. Its good

therapy to belong to such
a group that also offers
a social and educational
outlet, he said.
I think its an honor
for me to be a part of
their world and music experience, Halligan said.
While the group is a
nonprofit, it does charge
a fee to perform at various venues, including senior living communities,
but all of the singers are
volunteers. The Plymouth Rockers also perform two free concerts
for the public during the
holiday season and in the
spring.
The performance will
take place at 3 p.m. in the
Wayzata Central Middle
School Auditorium, 305
Vicksburg Lane North,
Plymouth. A free will offering will be taken.
To book a performance, call 763-473-4404.

Walk
FROM PAGE 1
In 2015, the society welcomed 23,072 animals.
Of those, 91 percent were
placed with families. It is
a milestone the organization has been working toward for the past decade.
Such a prominent milestone could not have been
reached without the generosity of its supporters,
according to the Animal
Humane Society.
Over the past 18
months, weve invested in
expanded behavior programs, advanced medical treatments, foster
care and post-adoption
support to help even the
most challenged animals
get a second chance, the
2015 annual report states.
As a result of these new
investments, our humane
euthanasia rate dropped
from 16.6 percent 8.8 percent in the past year.
Every day, new donations are gifted to the organization, but no day is
as big for the society as
the day of Walk for Animals.
Walk for Animals is
the organizations annual
fundraiser which draws

themselves and teaching
to state standards. High
school graduates, Jenkins
said, bring more wealth
into the community, and
standards ensure that students will be served at the
highest level.
The performance gap
between various student
socioeconomic
groups
also came up in Jenkins
address. He said Minnesota has one of the widest
performance gaps in the
country and warned that
thousands of two-legged
and four-legged participants.
This years Walk for
Animals will be May 7, at
the Golden Valley location, 845 Meadow Lane.
N., and marks the events
42nd year.
Each year we try
and make the walk better than the last, said
Animal Humane Society
Content and Media Producer Zach Nugent.
New this year, the organization is partnering
with Indeed Brewing and
a beer truck will be set up
near the main stage.
We are also looking to
make this a Zero Waste
event, so we are partnering with a recycling and
composting group this
year, he said.
Activities are bountiful
at this annual event.
Tie those laces and join
the 2.5 mile walk around
the neighborhood with
your pet.
Browse the plethora
of vendor booths selling
pet-related items such as
gourmet dog treats, toys
and more.
Have an animal that
never sits still for photos?
Let the professional photographers handle it.

subtly, subconsciously lowering expectations for some

students can cause them to
underperform.
We need to set the bar
so high in our area, in our
district, that through excellence we will achieve equity, Jenkins said.
He also characterized
Robbinsdale Area Schools
as being emblematic of
the country as a whole
strong, but outpaced
educationally by international competitors and
said he admired education
policies in other countries.
Finland, he said, has one
of the lowest educational
gaps in the world, a result

reach that goal again this

year.
Its the largest event of
its kind in the Midwest,
Nugent said. All of the
money goes directly back
to Animal Humane Society to help the more than
20,000 animals we assist each and every year.
Through the wonderful

support of donors and
the community, we are
able to continue helping
more and more animals
find loving homes.
of a policy change several

years ago.
They are the leader in
the world in terms of all
children performing, Jenkins said. If Finland can
do it, we can do it.
Jenkins speech centered
around the districts unified district vision, which
was made a few years
ago after the then-recent
Worlds Best Workforce
legislation prompted each
district in the state to create a plan to make all their
students college and career ready.
The unified vision, Jenkins said, informs the districts identity and mission.
Its goals are to implement

policies and practices that
open pathways to academic
excellence for all students,
utilize culturally responsive teaching and personalized learning for all
students, engage family
and community members
as partners and engage
and empower students by
amplifying student voice.
Were committed to
ensuring an equitable and
respectful education experience for every student,
family and staff member,
Jenkins said.
Jenkins cited Armstrong
and Cooper high schools
recent placement on a
Washington Post list of the

most challenging schools
in America as evidence of
the districts strong points.
Other examples included
increasingly high fundraising totals for the districts
annual Relay For Life
events, which are a combined effort between the
two high schools.
You see what happens
when you have a hawk and
falcon come together?
he said, referring to the
schools mascots.
Jenkins speech at times
resembled a political rally
his remarks were peppered
with long applause breaks
and a handful of off-the-
cuff jokes.
Good thing Im not
Donald Trump. Youd be
out of here, he joked when
an audience members cell
phone sounded during the
speech.
There will be no heroes
coming from the outside
to save us, Robbinsdale
Area Schools, to make us
this district of excellence,
Jenkins said as his address
drew to a close. The real
heroes are in this room and
in our community. Its a
great day to be in Robbinsdale.

sitys Presidential Scholarship, worth $5,000 per

to four years; the Universitys Gold Scholar Award
worth $10,000 per year
and renewable for up to
four years; Normandales
Computer Science Scholastic Achievement Award,
a one-time $750 award.
At first, the University
of Minnesota sent me a
letter saying that I would
receive the scholarships if
I became a National Merit
Finalist, Franz said. At
the time, I was a National
Merit Semi-Finalist still
awaiting that last decision.
When I realized my chances of winning the scholarship were good, I was kind
of in disbelief. However,
I started to rely on this
scholarship, and the feeling
when I officially received it
was one of relief, gratitude
and a sizeable dose of humility.

Jennifer was also thrilled
to hear her daughter
earned up to $60,750 in
scholarships.
It will cover her tuition
and books and a little of
the housing costs, she
said. Its a huge relief that
she wont have to go into a
lot of debt, or maybe none
at all, to earn her degree.
If Franz opts to do research during her years at
the U of M, she could receive an additional $1,700
in scholarships as a research stipend.
Im excited to do that
even though I have no idea
what it will be, she said.
She is looking forward to
having even more freedom
in her class schedule and
getting to live on campus.
Ill be able to attend
the clubs I want to without
worrying about the commute home in heavy traffic, she said. Im also excited, and nervous, to live
away from home for the
first time. I have an amazing and supportive family,
and Im worried that Ill
miss them. I guess finding
friends is also a concern of
mine.
Franz plans to major in
computer science but has
not yet decided what specialization to pursue.
One day, she hopes to be
a computer programmer.
Im leaning towards web
or user interface design,
she said. Ill probably
work for a company until I
can strike out on my own as
a consultant, my eventual
goal.
In her free time, Franz enjoys writing Java programs
that transliterate what she
types into Adlhetl, an
alphabet she created, and

Tengwar, the writing on the
ring from The Lord of the
Rings.
Let me warn you that
Im weird, and proud of it,
she said.
Her main hobby is writing and re-writing the fivebook science fiction-fantasy
series shes been working on
since eighth grade.
She also enjoys spending time with friends, going
to plays, playing the piano
and drawing characters and
scenes from her series.
When she and her family are at their Southwestern Wisconsin cabin, she
likes hiking in the woods
and trying to identify wild
mushrooms.
I also love anything
Lord of the Rings, especially the music, she said.
Her parents are proud to
see all she has accomplished
and look forward to what is

to come.
Abigail is a very hard
worker, Jennifer Franz
said. She is disciplined
and accomplishes anything
she sets her mind to. Abigail is one of a kind. Shes
happy, bubbly, sweet and a
bit quirky. She feels comfortable in her own skin
and knows who she is. She
has an impeccable memory.
Shes very observant and
sensitive to other people
and their feelings. She is a
good mix at times, she
can be outgoing and other
times reserved.
Franz was chosen as
Minnesota Virtual Academys Valedictorian and
will speak at the commencement ceremony later this
spring.
Additionally, curb extensions will be made at

stations to avoid widening
roadways and side-to-side

and the station structure
itself will be outfitted with

heat, lighting, trash bins
and security features.
The stations that were
building on the C-Line
will have much better
maintenance than a lot of
our bus stops do today, be-
cause were making these

concerted station investments, said Roth. Were
able to prioritize clearing
snow fully from the sidewalks so people can get
on and off the bus safely.
Making sure that trash
and recycling are emptied

on a regular basis, and just
generally keeping them up
to a light-rail-quality level
of service.

The Sacred Heart Council of Catholic Women is

This spring, Franz will

Thanks to her PSEO
classes, Franz will likely
