alone,” Brad Aho, Chair of the I-494Corridor Commission and Eden PrairieCity Council member said.

According to Aho, the study foundthat 30 percent of those people werewilling to try an alternative transporta-tion to and from work.

“The results to that study promptedus to hire Commuter Services staff towork with employers and property man-agers to encourage them to engage infinding alternatives to driving alone,”Aho said.

Commuter Services held the 2011State of the Commute at the Best BuyCooperation in Richfield, on April 6.

At the conference, the organizationgave employers a vast arsenal to helptheir employees choose different modes

of transportation.“We encourage employers to hold

commuter fairs,” said Kate Meredith,Director of Outreach for CommuterServices.

At commuter fairs, employers andtheir employees are bombarded withinformation on how to make alternativechoices to transportation to work in theway of commuter programs.

Commuter programs vary from car-pool ride match services, bike-to-workresources or personalized transit itiner-aries.

Employers are offered informationon how commuter programs may quali-fy for state and federal tax incentives.

Another method mentioned at theconference was the presentation of theeWork Place.

This state sponsored program is abusiness strategy and work process thatfacilitates employees to work fromhome or a remote location and connectto the office or clients by technology.

Employers enrolling into this pro-gram are offered manager’s guides,selection and policy check lists, solu-tions to issues, case studies and busi-ness reports to current eWork Place pro-grams and an ‘ask the expert’ optionthat are all part of the eWork Place web-site.

The last method mentioned was therecognition of the ‘Best Workplaces forCommuters’ employer designation.

This award is given to companieswho provide their employees with excel-lent commuter benefits.

The Best Buy cooperate office wasthe first company to receive the awardin Minnesota.

“We wanted to commit to reducingtraffic congestion and implement a vari-ety of traffic demanded managementstrategies. We encourage our employeesto really use a lot of alternative trans-portation methods,” Best Buy’s WorkLife Manager Sarah Wuest said.

According to Wuest, the Best Buy

Corporate office has implemented com-muter incentives such as providing afully subsided metro bus pass foremployees committed to taking the busat least three times a week.

Best Buy also provides a $75-per-employee, per-month vanpoolallowance. Best Buy also has preferen-tial car-pooling and van-pooling park-ing.

A centralized kiosk is available toBest Buy employees containing infor-mation on commuting options accord-ing to Wuest.

“Commuter Services is working withover 600 companies in the five cities itsserves. It has assisted 4,400 people whowere driving alone to work with cus-tomized assistance to find a car poolpartner, try to take the bus or with acustomized bike route recommenda-tion. It is that level of service that hasresulted in the reduction of over 18 mil-lion miles,” Aho said.

Sheriden Hills Elementary will loseTitle I teacher Patricia Veitenheimer.

Centennial Elementary School willlose teacher Sylvia Stephens.

Richfield Duel Language School willlose Literacy Specialist Kathleen Holtz.

“I'm disappointed that my teachingposition has been cut after 7 years of hardwork and dedication to Richfield HighSchool,” Huber said. “Unfortunately,that's the world of education as we knowit right now,”

The decision to terminate the teacherswas based on many factors. According toDr. Slotterback the revenue that theRichfield Public School’s receive is dictat-ed by the State. For each student the dis-trict receives a set amount. When theamount of students goes up the amountthe district receives increases.

“Traditionally what happens is theamount we get goes up by an inflationaryfactor, but for the last two years and forthe next two years because the statedoesn’t have any money they have frozenthe revenues. So that amount has stayedthe same. The final amount is deter-mined by the amount they tell us timesthe number of students we have,”Slotterback said.

As a result the district is forecastingflat funding from the state. Flat funding islittle to no increase to state funds.

In addition to the state influence thecost side in the district has added to theboard’s decision.

“We have to keep the buildings heated,we have to repair the roofs, we have to payfor the diesel for the buses, but 83 percentof all the money that we spend we spendon people,” Slotterback said. “We are inthe people business. How many Richfieldbusiness can say they have a payroll over40 million?”

The cost to the district per teachereach year is on average $60,000.

The district has reduced as much asthey could out of the remaining 17 per-cent of the costs, according toSlotterback. He insists, “this year we arestuck and probably in the future of hav-ing to find the vast majority of thatmoney out of people.”

Before this year the district has reduceposition in administration, custodial,paraprofessionals and secretarial.

Another large component to this deci-sion is the enrollments to some of theRichfield schools are going down.

“The number of kids really dictatesthe number of teachers we need,”Slotterback said.

The budget of next year is built on theassumption that the schools will have somany students. This assumption is backby an enrollment projection that, accord-ing to Slotterback, is very accurate evengive the fact that about 30 percent of thestudents come and go during any givenyear.

The 30 percent is based on the studentsentering grade one through grade eleven.Seniors graduating out of the district arenot factored into this group.

At the Richfield STEM School, gradefive had a very large group of students,while the kindergarten coming in is notas big current enrollment projectionstherefore they will have to put in theirportion for the cuts, according toSlotterback.

Across the board cuts were made.Each school needed to cut one teacherand the others were based on enrollmentfigures.

Principal of Richfield STEM SchoolJoey Page was “not surprised” by theschool boards decision due to the lack ofenrollment by 60 students for next year.

“It’s always disappointing to lose qual-ity employees due to State budgetary out-lines,” Richfield High School PrincipalStephen West said.

Luckily, with the exact enrollmentnumber to be determined in August staffmay be brought back.

“We use the big number first to give usa ballpark of how many people we need tolay off. When we do figure out how muchkids we are going to have the tenureteachers generally get hired back first,”Slotterback said.

Unfortunately during the next coupleof school board meetings a larger num-ber of district staff may be added to thelist of layoffs.

“It is hard to tell how many staff willbe laid off but we are guesstimating 28people will receive some type of lay offnotification,” Slotterback said.

Cities and counties lostmost options to grantvariances in 2010Supreme Court decisionBY MARC INGBER • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Minnesota cities and counties maysoon regain the authority to grant vari-ances in the way they did for years priorto a recent Supreme Court decision.

The Minnesota House approved a billApril 4 that will allow local governmentsgreater latitude to grant zoning vari-ances.

The League of Minnesota Cities and agroup of allies lobbied for the measureto address the fallout from the lawsuit. Adecision handed down by the MinnesotaSupreme Court in July 2010Krummenacher v. City of Minnetonkachanged the landscape for variances.

In that case, the court ruled, “amunicipality does not have the authori-ty to grant a variance unless the appli-cant can show that her property cannotbe put to a reasonable use without thevariance.”

That differed greatly from a 1989 deci-sion that stated a variance could begranted if property owners “would liketo use the property in a ‘reasonable man-ner’ that is prohibited by the ordi-nance.”

In effect, the 2010 decision made itnext to impossible for cities and town-ships to grant variances, except in rarecircumstances.

“The Krummenacher case actuallytook what was in practice here for anumber of years in the state ofMinnesota and made it illegal,” saidRep. Tim O’Driscoll, R-Sartell. He esti-mated that $45 million in constructionprojects in Minnesota were being heldup because of the decision.

The House bill is designed to clarifythe current law so that cities and coun-ties can use the standards that had been

in place for decades prior to last year’sdecision.

The bill was amended in the commit-tee process – over the objection of theLeague of Minnesota Cities – to leave thelanguage for how and when conditionsmay be imposed as part of a variance indifferent forms for counties and cities.

Because of the differences, theLeague opposed the legislation as itappeared on the House floor. However,an agreement was reached when the billcame up for discussion to resolve thosedifferences with matching language forcities and counties.

That agreement was not drafted intoamendment fast enough to make it intothe House bill. But legislators made itclear a compromise had been agreed toand would be included in the bill when itcame back from the Senate, according tothe League.

The League expects that a companionbill, sponsored by Sen. Gen Olson, R-Minnetrista, will move through theSenate quickly and that Gov. MarkDayton would sign the final bill. It hadnot been signed by the time this editionof the Sun-Sailor went to press.

If approved, the new law would“finally clear statutory variance author-ity to cities,” according to a statementfrom the League.

Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-GoldenValley, did not vote for the House versionof the bill – due to the language discrep-ancies between cities and counties – butis optimistic the Legislature willapprove an adequate bill.

He believes variances became anissue because the Minnesota SupremeCourt in recent years has based its deci-sions less on intent and common senseinterpretation of law.

“The Minnesota Supreme Court haschanged over the years,” Winkler said.“It’s become very literal in how it inter-prets language.”

The bill won’t make variances imper-vious to future litigation, he said, but itshould do a good job of bringing backthe standards cities and counties haveused for years.

House approves bill thatwill give back varianceauthority to cities, counties

With cloning, too little information can be a dangerous thingBY LINDA SLOCUM • GUEST COLUMNIST

In the March 31 issue of the SunCurrent, the paper printed an opinionpiece from Managing Editor JosephPalmersheim entitled, “Preventing theattack of the clones?” Mr. Palmersheimspoke of a bill moving through theMinnesota Senate that would ban humancloning. Since the publishing of that col-umn, the language of that bill was addedas an amendment to the higher educa-tion bills that passed both bodies of theMinnesota Legislature.

My view? Too little information canbe a dangerous thing. While Mr.Palmersheim correctly notes that thebill’s language, now used in amendmentform, does ban human cloning, the lan-guage unfortunately also means that theamendment impacts legitimate research.The amendment to the House HigherEducation Bill reads as follows:

“No state funds or federal funds thestate receives for state programs may beused to either support human cloning orto pay for any expenses incidental tohuman cloning. For purposes of this sec-tion, ‘cloning’ means generating a geneti-cally identical copy of an organism at any

stage of development by combining an enu-cleated egg and the nucleus of a somatic cellto make an embryo.”

As Mr. Palmersheim correctly notes, theamendment – in its second paragraph – doesnot affect or ban some of the stem-cellresearch currently occurring at the U orMayo Clinic. The problem is that in anattempt to ban the act of cloning an entirehuman being, the amendment also banstherapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloninguses blastocysts. These are made from awoman’s egg and cells from a patient.

These blastocysts are used to reproduceother cells in the body, like heart cells torepair a damaged heart muscle, lung cells torepair a damaged lung, or islet cells in thepancreas to cure diabetes. There are otherways to create these stem cells, but doing itthis way provides the most reliable method,and reduces the risk of a patient’s bodyrejecting the cells, because they’re geneti-cally identical. Much like other stem cells,they are not viable for human life.

But under the amendment, this form ofstem-cell research becomes a misdemeanor,a crime! The amendment doesn’t adequate-ly define “human cloning,” defining it as a“genetically identical copy” – which in turnbans therapeutic cloning. No one at the leg-

islature, DFL or Republican is in favor ofreproductive cloning, but therapeuticcloning helps treat and combat disease.

I agree with Mr. Palmersheim that legis-lating the future can be a “slippery slope.”However, the greater problem in legislationis often unintended consequences. It isarguable if this amendment truly intendedto stop major forms of stem-cell research byMinnesota scientists at our University andat the Mayo Clinic, rather than just preventreproductive cloning.

The fact remains that this amendmentstops potentially life-saving research.Researchers throughout the state have saidthat if this ban were to go into effect, theywould consider moving their work – and thejobs that go with it – to other states. Too lit-tle information can be a dangerous thing.

This amendment will cripple the greatwork being done at the U, Mayo Clinic, anda host of other research institutions. It willcripple work that could save lives, and itwill cripple our research industry. It willmove research jobs out of Minnesota.Minnesota has a sterling reputation forhealth care, research and innovation. Thisis no time to tarnish it.

Linda Slocum is the state representativefor District 63B.

As if 10,000 lakes weren’t enough, we’veadded a staggering number of artificialwater bodies in the form of stormwaterretention ponds to Minnesota’s landscapein recent decades.

There are around 20,000 publicly ownedstormwater ponds in the Twin Cities alone,and thousands more are privately owned orlocated outside the metro area. So, what isthe purpose of these artificial ponds, andwill they continue to multiply across ourstate?

When put into widespread use in the‘80s, stormwater ponds (often called NURPponds because they are based on theresearch findings of the Nationwide UrbanRunoff Program) represented a major stepforward in reducing flooding and water pol-

lution. Previously, runoff from developedlandscapes was commonly directed tostorm sewers, which delivered it directly tothe nearest wetland, lake, or stream.

In hindsight, that wasn’t a very goodidea. The resulting rush of water causedmajor downstream flooding and added pol-lutants to our surface waters. Valuablemoisture was also shunted quickly down-stream instead of infiltrating into the soilwhere it is needed to support healthy vege-tation and groundwater recharge.

As an alternative, stormwater pondsbecame popular with engineers and regula-tors because they retain runoff and releaseit gradually to reduce flooding. Retentionalso provides time for sediment and pollu-tants to settle out resulting in cleanerwater.

Even people outside stormwater man-

agement circles can sometimes appreciatestormwater ponds. If properly designedand maintained, they can be aestheticallyappealing and increase property values.

Stormwater ponds also have their shareof detractors. When not properly designedor maintained, they can become eyesores,foster mosquitoes or pose public safetyrisks. They can also be expensive to main-tain as accumulated sediment must bedredged periodically and may be contami-nated requiring special disposal. And, atthe end of the day, the “pipe-and-pond”approach does not eliminate flooding orpollution and threatens our aquifers by pre-venting water from soaking naturally intothe ground.

More recently, stormwater ponds are

RAINWATER: TO NEXT PAGE


increasingly being replaced with otherapproaches to stormwater management thatminimize their drawbacks. For example, theMinnehaha Creek Watershed District has beenworking to promote the infiltration of rainwaterwhere it falls.

To that end, the District has been updating itsStormwater Management Rule, which focuseson managing stormwater runoff and pollutantsfrom new development and redevelopment. Tobalance the need for community developmentwith water resource protection, the revised ruleexempts single-family homes, though voluntaryefforts are possible and encouraged, and pro-vides flexibility for challenging sites.

Whether you’re a friend or foe of stormwaterponds, it’s important for everyone to understandthat stormwater runoff is a problem, but a prob-lem that can be mitigated. Simple approacheslike planting trees and other vegetation and rainbarrels can be combined with engineered solu-tions like infiltration basins and capture andreuse to reduce flooding, improve water quality,reduce the need for irrigation, and replenishgroundwater.

More information about proposed revisionsto the District’s stormwater rule will be avail-able at a public hearing tentatively scheduledMay 5.

Rainwater Confession from a one-time bullyEdina ‘Reflections on Bullying’ event to be held April 26BY HEATHER HAEN ANDERSONEXECUTIVE DIRECTORCONNECTING WITH KIDS EDINA

“Your hair looks dumb,” Iscrawled on a piece of paper. Withmy friends urging me on, I foldedup the note and stealthily droppedit on her lunch tray when she was-n’t looking. After she finished eat-ing, I watched her empty the trayinto the trash and pick up thenote. She opened it, turned it rightside-up and starting crying.

Instantly, I felt terrible for whatI did, and not just because thosesame friends who had been gig-gling in anticipation of her reac-tion were now telling me howmean I’d been. The girl’s hair wasactually quite lovely. It was longand thick with wavy curls. Shewas shy and somewhat quiet, and Iknew she wanted to join my groupof friends. I didn’t care one way or

the other if she did, I just caredthat she might upset the balanceat the cafeteria lunch table – youknow, too many people wanting tosit in a fixed amount of availablespace. When she tried to sit at ourtable, it meant that one of uswould have to find another – inour minds, less desirable – place toeat lunch.

Regretting what I’d done, I apol-ogized to her before the bell rang.Reeling from the hurtful words, itdidn’t matter to her that the notewas untrue and that my apologywas sincere. We never, to my recol-lection, spoke to each other again.

At the time, I doubt any of usthought I was bullying the girl,though of course I was. It was justa regular lunchtime in the eighthgrade and we were a bit bored.We’d looked around to see whomwe could get a reaction from andshe popped into view.

Remembering how she reactedto the note and how I felt after I’dwronged her, I tried not to bullyother classmates again. I had nodesire to become one of the meangirls who flung barbs at every

passing student. Several decadeslater, I know that at times I haveprobably been unkind more than Iintended, but my hope is always tobe better than I was that day.

Bullying has touched mosteveryone’s life at one time oranother, either as the victim or theaggressor — or even as abystander. From 6-9 p.m. Tuesday,April 26, in Fick Auditorium atEdina High School, our communi-ty will have the chance to reflectupon bullying and to discuss waysto lessen the impact it has in ourlives.

Called “Reflections on Bullying:Making the World a Better PlaceWhere Bullying Doesn’t Happen,”the event will include an exhibit ofsubmissions by community mem-bers, a showing of the film“Bullied,” and a post-movie dia-logue led by a panel of localexperts. Admission is free, thoughRSVPs are requested.

track athlete and a Richfield graduate.Other events included a flag football

game, a free Jazzercise class, a garden-ing class instructed by the University ofMinnesota Master Gardner’s club,Richfield Dual Language School Choirperformance, a free Zumba fitness class,Dance Troupe performance and more.

Over 35 vendors set up displays andhanded out information on various com-munity wellness organizations in thearea.

A Kid Zone was set up for youngstersto participate in games, face painting,hair decorations and a free book swap.

“Any of us are aware of the newstoday, we are seeing that fitness is such aconcern for people of all ages. This is agreat opportunity for people to recog-nize the importance of healthy living, tofind different ways to be healthier andrelieve stress and just make their livesbetter,” Breuer said.

Donations were made to the event byRichfield Credit Union, Richfield PublicSchool, Richfield Community Educationand the Richfield Advisory Board ofHealth.

BY ROXI REJALI • CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Nine months after receiving a hearttransplant, Vicki Peterson finished atriathlon.

She biked 10.2 miles, swam 400 yards andran 2.5 miles to end the race in two hours.

She was the last person to cross the fin-ish line at the 2008 Minnewaska Triathlonin Glenwood, Minn. A group of family andfriends cheered her on.

“I wanted my life back, the way it was,”said Peterson, 54. “It was something for meto focus on during my recovery.”

After surgeons replaced her failingheart with a healthy one from an anony-mous donor in 2007, Peterson decided toenjoy her new lease on life.

Since transplant surgery more thanthree years ago, the Bloomington residentreturned to her job as a flight attendant forSun Country Airlines. She has travelled toCalifornia, Florida, Sweden and Italy andenjoys sports like kayaking and bikingwith her husband Brian and three adultsons, Nathan, Blake and Brandon.

Peterson is grateful for the gift of life,though she’s never met the family of thedonor whose heart beats in her chest.

“The way I live is really to honor themand be respectful of what they did, givethis gift to me and I need to respect that,”

she said. “I want to work out, I want to eathealthy, I want to give back wherever I can,just out of respect for them.”

April is National Donate Life Monthand Peterson hopes her story will inspireothers to register as organ donors.

More than half of Minnesota residentshave registered as organ donors throughtheir driver’s licenses or state ID cards,said Rebecca Ousley, senior public rela-tions coordinator at LifeSource, a nonprof-it that manages organ and tissue dona-tions in the upper Midwest. About 2,700Minnesotans are waiting for organ trans-plants, or 110,000 nationally, she said.Every day, 18 Americans die waiting for atransplant.

A 2005 health scare started Peterson’stransplant story. She fainted while workingon a Sun Country flight and gashed herhead on a cart lock, requiring a trip to anemergency room. Over the next eight daysshe lost consciousness up to 12 times a day.Searching for answers, Peterson visited sev-eral doctors and endured a battery of med-ical tests. Doctors couldn’t pinpoint theproblem until a cardiologist reviewing elec-trocardiogram results recommended imme-diate surgery for an ICD, or implantable car-dioverter defibrillator. Eight days later, themechanical device was implanted in herchest to regulate her heartbeat.

Peterson later returned to work andresumed her normal activities, but byJune 2006, she constantly felt tired anddrained of energy. “Before the transplant,it got to the point where I was crawling upstairs or if I got on the floor, I couldn’t getup by myself,” she said. “Somebody had tohelp me with everything.”

In September 2006, doctors told her thather heart was working at only 20-percentcapacity and recommended an appoint-ment with a heart transplant specialist.She sought a second opinion from theUniversity of Minnesota, where doctorsconfirmed that a transplant was her onlyoption and diagnosed her with sarcoidosis,an inflammatory disease.

Her name was placed on a heart trans-plant list and began rounds of testing andtreatments designed to prevent herimmune system from rejecting a trans-planted heart. By September 2007 her con-dition had deteriorated so badly that shewas hospitalized until a donor heart couldbe found. Two weeks later, a donor matchwas found. Three days after the October2007 surgery her body began to reject thetransplant, but a series of drug treatmentsand transfusions improved the symptoms.After leaving the hospital, check-ups wereonce a week.

She eventually felt well enough toreturn to work, beginning with a desk jobin February 2008. Doctors had said thatshe could never return to her old flightattendant job because of the possibility ofinfections in a closed cabin, but shepestered her doctors for permission toreturn to work. They reluctantly agreed,and by July 2009 she began flying again. “I

just didn’t see myself doing anythingelse,” Peterson said. “I’ve been doing thisfor 16 years and I love what I do and I lovethe people that I work with.”

Peterson has always been strong-willedand resilient, said her friend DeniseEngberg of Burnsville, who’s knownPeterson since the 1970s. “Telling Vickiwhat she should be doing is like waving ared flag in front of her, like a bull,”Engberg said. “If you tell her she shouldn’tbe doing something, she’s going to some-how try to find a way to do it.”

Statistics show that average lifeexpectancy for heart transplant recipientsis 8-10 years, but Peterson plans to beat theodds. “I have lots of things on my ‘bucketlist’ that I haven’t accomplished yet,” shesaid. “I want to work on that bucket list. Idon’t want to miss any opportunities.“

Microsoft opens high-tech office in EdinaCompany will relocateregional office this fallBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The top floor of one Edina officebuilding can now store enough data tohost the entire iTunes – or Zune –library.

The high-tech facility in CentennialLakes Office Park, 3601 W. 76th St.,however, serves a basic purpose.

“Our goals are real simple,” saidDon Leeke, Microsoft general managerfor the seven-state north central dis-trict, during an opening event for theMicrosoft Technology Center Tuesday,April 5.

Industry experts at the center helpbusiness leaders solve their tech-relat-ed problems in a matter of days orweeks, he said.

Working alongside companies, aswell as educational institutions andorganizations, Microsoft can createcustom IT solutions in areas ranging

from cloud computing to data sortingusing its own and partner technolo-gies.

“It’s a purpose-built facility,” saidTim Floyd, director of the 16,815-square-foot center, which officiallyopened about five weeks ago. “Everyroom we have is purpose-built forwhat we do.”

It all starts in the “EnvisioningCenter,” or what he calls the “lightbulb room.” In the sleek lab with the-ater seating, Microsoft shows it cus-tomers simulated work environments.

“It really gets them thinking abouthow they can use software better,” hesaid.

Then it’s on to a briefing roomwhere they work with the customer toclosely understand their goals.Detailed implementation measuresare hashed out in multi-day or weekarchitect design sessions, where a spe-cific plan of action is created.

In four proof-of-concept labs, actualtechnology solutions are built andtested. Each may need a dozen web

servers and large amounts of storage,all powered in the “Solutions DataCenter,” what’s considered the heart ofthe facility.

Over 21 miles of data cables connectwith massive computers and serversin the glass-enclosed room. Microsoftpartners like Dell, Hewlett-Packard,EMC and Polycom have invested morethan $5.5 million in hardware.

Floyd said the data center holdssome of the newest equipment on themarket, including partner APC’s first-ever over-rack cooling system. Theboxes atop each machine contain andthen cool hot air they generate, keep-ing the data center at room tempera-ture. Typically, he said, an entire datacenter would be cooled like a giantrefrigerator.

Microsoft currently operates 23technology centers worldwide, includ-ing 11 in the U.S. Floyd said all of thecenters are connected by network,enabling technology sharing andcross-country and around the globework for customers with multiple loca-

tions, from Edina to Paris.At the end, the customer leaves

with a detailed process for implemen-tation. The Microsoft TechnologyCenter also has training room with 24workstations to familiarize employeeswith the new system. Floyd saidMicrosoft’s technology partners canhelp deploy the plan on-site.

“The customers like it because it’sefficient,” said Floyd, an 18-yearemployee at the Microsoft’s regionaloffice in Bloomington.

They’re also fans of the center’slounge area, he said, complete withXbox Kinect, and its device bar withall the newest laptops, tablet PCs andsmartphones for perusal.

Lt. Gov. Yvonne Prettner Solon, whotoured the facility Tuesday, said it isvital for Minnesotans to have access tothe latest technology to compete in anincreasingly global economy. She saidthe center helps strengthen the localbusiness environment and grow tech-

“Reader’s Digest” is rolling intothree area cities to hand out somechecks to their mayors.

Three “ambassadors” from the publi-cation are RV traveling to 100 citiesacross the country in 100 days as part ofits, “We hear you America,” campaign.

Along with Minneapolis and St. Paul,they are also rolling into Bloomington,Eden Prairie and Minnetonka, wherethey’ll hand out $1,000 checks that thecity can use as it wishes.

Supermodel and “CelebrityApprentice” reality television contest-ant Niki Taylor will join the “Reader’sDigest” in larger cities on the tour,

including Minneapolis.The RV was scheduled to arrive in

Bloomington April 10, in Eden PrairieApril 13 and Minnetonka April 14.

The campaign started in Novemberwith online voting, where U.S. citizenscould “cheer” or vote for their city asthe best.

“Vote early and often” rings true forthis contest, since people can vote fortheir city online up to 10 times per day.Such freedom may have helped boostthe total vote count reach 13 million.

The ten cities with the most votesreceive a delivered check – $40,000 forthe top-voted city, $25,000 for the runner-up and up to $10,000 for the other eight.

Prize delivery to the top ten cities,

along with 90 other cities that willreceive a $1,000 check, began inJanuary. All of the Minnesota cities onthe tour stop were not in the top ten, butpicked among the 90 cities added to thelist.

Jay Ramos, one of the three“Reader’s Digest” reps traveling cross-country, said the campaign isn’t aboutboosting the publication’s circulation.

Those 90 cities were chosen based thestories that people submitted as part ofthe “We Hear You America” campaignand if the cities were included in a cou-ple of the periodical’s special publica-tions in addition to the online voting.

“I can’t speak to specificity of [circu-lation], but the choice of the cities are

not based on readership numbers,”Ramos said. “It’s due to the three com-ponents.”

Ramos said when they stop at a city,they usually meet with community offi-cials and curious residents.

The RV’s public reception has variedat each city, he said. Those that receivedmore votes online tend to have a fewmore visitors than cities that receivedfewer votes.

With the seeming popularity of thecampaign, “Reader’s Digest” has decid-ed to start another round of voting,which runs March 8 to May 16, withanother $145,000 in prizes for the top tencities.

Edina schools launch Young Scholars program BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Kindergartner Sydney Dorvil wasn’tsatisfied with problem No. 6.

The task, which she tackled Tuesdaymorning, April 5, at Concord ElementarySchool, asked her to add a set number ofpennies, nickels and dimes.

“Is there a No. 10?” she asked YoungScholars teacher Erica Wattson, pointingto a stack of envelopes holding progres-sively more difficult questions.

Sydney is one of about 40 Edina stu-dents participating in the Young Scholarspilot program introduced at Concord andCornelia elementary schools this year.

Young Scholars will expand to all EdinaSchool District elementary schools nextyear with the exception of NormandaleFrench Immersion.

District officials hope the program willprepare bright students from populationstypically underrepresented in its GiftedEducation program and AdvancedPlacement classes for the challengingcoursework, and reduce the racial achieve-ment gap.

“When we first looked at our data I think

we went gulp,” said Debra Richards, Edina’sGifted Education Services coordinator.

She said nearly all students identifiedfor Gifted Education through assessmentsare white or Asian, with few to zero stu-dents from other races.

Mary Manderfeld, assistant director ofadministrative services, said AdvancedPlacement enrollment at Edina HighSchool also does not reflect demographicsin the district, where 15 percent of stu-dents report minority status.

“We weren’t serving all of our stu-dents,” she said.

In Edina, Young Scholars is a proactiveprogram to provide minority, EnglishLanguage Learner and low-income stu-

dents with the creative- and critical-think-ing skills and confidence to access giftedservices.

“Really what we want for all of ourkids is to be the best they can be,”Manderfeld said.

Young Scholars was started at FairfaxCounty Public Schools in Virginia and hassince been adopted at districts across thenation and in Minnesota, including theRosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan SchoolDistrict.

“It’s really an unique opportunity forour district to try and meet the needs of allof our learners and a segment of our stu-dent population that is certainly verycapable but hasn’t been present in our gift-

ed classes,” said Cornelia Principal ChrisHolden.

Traditional methods, such as formaltesting to identify gifted students, mightnot catch a bright student who lacks aca-demic vocabulary. Regular testing forGifted Education also doesn’t begin untilgrade 3, but research shows early inter-vention is important.

This year, 16 students at Concord and28 students at Cornelia in grades K-2 wereselected for the program. They meet with aspecialist individually or in small groupsfor weekly activities. The part-time YoungScholars teachers are funded with a stateintegration grant.

“There’s more than one way to a goaland this is another way to meet studentsneeds,” said Concord Principal RickSansted. “Our teachers are always lookingfor ways to support all of our kids in ourclassrooms and this is a really importantpiece of that.”

Working with classroom teachers,Richards and Young Scholars teachersselected the students following three vis-

its to each K-2 classroom at the schoolslast fall. They observed students doingactivities around creative and analyti-cal skills.

“We looked for kids exhibiting giftedbehavior but wouldn’t meet the criteria[for Gifted Education Services] basedon achievement,” said Richards.

Next year, the program will be expand-ed to Countryside, Creek Valley andHighlands elementary schools. Concordand Cornelia will each add an additionalyear, serving students through grade 3

Richards points out that YoungScholars is not a remedial program, butfalls under Gifted Education Servicesin the Edina district. But, while GiftedEducation Services are limited to aboutthe top 10 percent of students, YoungScholars takes close to 20 percent ofstudents in the three groups identifiedfor participation. Those not selectedthe first year will have the chance toqualify again in following years. Otherswere passed over because they will like-ly already qualify for gifted program-ming.

Cornelia and Concord students beganmeeting with Young Scholars teachers inFebruary at times they do not miss corereading and math instruction.Kindergarteners receive 30-minute ses-sions, while older students attend for 45-minute sessions.

Holden said it’s been an overall posi-tive experience so far.

“They like working on the problemsolving units and the thinking skills theylike spending some intense time aroundvery engaging lessons,” he said.

Before spring break, Gina Felton,Young Scholars teacher at Cornelia,asked her students what they like bestabout Young Scholars.

“One said, ‘I think like an adult now,’”she said. “They’re energized about com-ing and doing the activities.”

In June, the district will hold a four-day summer camp for Young Scholars.Wattson, who also teaches GiftedEducation at Highlands, said she hopes tocontinue expanding opportunities andaccess for the students.

She said she encourages students likeSydney, who push themselves at YoungScholars, to also ask their classroomteachers for top-level work.

“The drive these little 5-year-olds haveinspires me,” she said.
