School District 197 Cultural Liaisons Provide Critical Link
Between Families & Schools
My gratitude and appreciation to Latino American Today and publisher Richard Aguilar for the opportunity to provide information about the programs, services,
staff, and students of School District 197. For this issue, I am pleased to introduce Lesly Gamez, School District 197’s educational equity coordinator, as a guest
writer. Lesly will provide information about our district’s cultural liaisons, who provide a critical link between our schools/programs and our families. We are thankful
for their work. – Superintendent Peter Olson-Skog

the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Minnesota, John is well prepared to help
create a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient economy for Minnesotans.”
“I would like to thank Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan for
providing me with an opportunity to serve on the Metropolitan Council,” said
Pacheco. “The Council has great responsibilities impacting the day to day lives
of the people in the metro area and the state. I look forward to serving as the
representative for District 6.”
John Pacheco, is the president of the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Minnesota and a
principal with Pacheco & Associates, where he works with nonprofits and corporations to
develop workforce initiatives to close employment and training gaps for communities of color
and Indigenous communities. Previously, John was Vice President and Director of the U.S. Bank
Foundation and the Xcel Energy Foundation. He studied at the University of Minnesota.

Buckthorn Be Gone
Invasive Species A Four-Season Challenge To State Parks And Trails Staff
From the above, perhaps the goat contribution affords the greatest
curiosity. Goats? Yup. The animals naturally browse on vegetation, and
prefer the new growth at the top of the plants. Sometimes the buckthorn
is too tall for goats to reach the tasty top leaves, so a larger, older goat
will knock it over. Nate Renk heard about this phenomenon but didn’t
believe it until he saw it. After an older female goat brought down the
buckthorn, five or six younger goats rushed over to chow down.
Benson said that the goat owners raise the animals as professional
consumers that are moved in trailers from location to location. Portable
electric fences assure that the animals stay in place.

at Afton State Park located “They have a financial incentive to haul the goat herd in. The goats are
near Hastings accustomed to being moved around from site to site.” Park and Trails
staff and the herd owners check on the animals throughout their stay.
Sometimes after the goats have been in a place long enough to learn the
lay of the land, they notice tempting plant life beyond the fence and try
to make a run for it. Or a deer will damage the fence at night. Vigilance is
required.

well, as it hogs all the sunlight trying to reach the forest floor. with an appetite.
Nate Renk, area resource specialist out of Forest Lake, said that open
prairies are vulnerable to buckthorn, which covets an open space to
expand into and dominate. Over time, remnant prairie pockets like those
at Afton State Park would disappear.
Park staff have a bevy of tools for invasive species removal, like hungry
goats, heavy equipment including brush mowers, chippers and power
saws, and prescribed burns. Winter provides a good environment for
burning piles of brush since the ground is frozen and snow covers nearby
flammable grasses and undergrowth. Sensitive areas such as wetlands
freeze and are better protected from the use of heavy equipment.
Also, some rare species like bats hibernate during the winter so they
sleep through the disruption of invasive species removal. Finally, brush is
better if it’s burned in large piles, so when there is at least three inches of
snow on the ground, the wildfire risk is removed. Other benefits to staff
include the fact that a minimal number of wood ticks are active, and park
visitors aren’t inconvenienced by the activity. Volunteers, private crews,
and Conservation Corps employees assist park staff in invasive species Above is a part of the 60-member herd of goats brought to Afton State Park
