Former Farmington day care provider faces manslaughter, neglect charges by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Farmington woman faces manslaughter charges relating to the death of a 3-monthold baby who stopped breathing at her home day care on July 31, 2012. Rebecca Lynn Graupmann, 45, faces two felony counts of second-degree manslaughter and three gross misdemeanor charges for endangerment of a child, neglect and interference with a death scene. The criminal complaint details the following events: Farmington Rescue responded to a call that a child had stopped breathing and was unable to be resuscitated. Graupmann

allegedly told police initially that the child fell asleep in a car seat. As a detective photographed the day care home, he noticed a wet spot with what appeared to be blood in another bed in the house. Graupmann admitted to police that she had put the baby in the bed for a nap from approximately 1:45-3 p.m. She later said she saw the child was on his side in the bed and left him in that position. Graupmann found the child, “cold to the touch, his lips were blue, and he had blood around his nose when she picked him up,” the complaint said. Graupmann told police she “should not have laid him in the bed” multiple times, the complaint

Rosemount High School seniors to graduate Rainy late spring is leading to speculation on outdoor or indoor event by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The 2013 graduating class at Rosemount High School will participate in the school’s commencement ceremony at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 1, at Irish Stadium … if weather permits. As of Wednesday, Twin Cities meteorologists were predicting both gloom and a glimmer of hope for Saturday’s weather. The predictions range from a damp Saturday to cloud cover clearing later in the day to give way to sunshine. The decision regarding where the ceremony will take place will be made no later than noon June 1. The announcement will be placed on the school’s website www. district196.org/rhs and Facebook page facebook.com/ RosemountHighSchool.

The big difference between the outdoor and indoor ceremony is how many people can attend. If the ceremony is at Irish Stadium seating is unlimited and as the graduates’ family, friends and neighbors have often filled the home grandstand and most of the visitors side. If the ceremony is inside the high school gymnasium, each graduate will receive four tickets for seating. Tickets will be handed out during the Friday, May 31, rehearsal just in case they are needed. The past two years, commencement has been held in Irish Stadium. In 2010, weather forced the event inside the gym. While some have lamented the fact that

reports. The child’s mother told police she had specifically asked Graupmann to always put her son to sleep on his back. The parents told police they never saw their son turn over on his stomach or side. An autopsy ruled the death as accidental by “probable positional asphyxiation,” according to the complaint. The felony charges each hold up to 10 years and $20,000, and the gross misdemeanor charges hold up to one year and $3,000 fine. Graupmann’s trial is scheduled for Sept. 9.

Recent thefts from vehicles prompt warning by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount police are warning residents to remove valuable items from vehicles that are parked outside where thieves might make them an easy target. Six thefts from vehicles were reported in Rosemount on May 24 and 25 with four of them occurring in the residential area of 154th and 155th streets from Claret to Chippendale avenues. The police department reported that in each in-

stance items of value were left inside the vehicles in plain sight. Most of the vehicles were unlocked. In a press release, police encouraged residents to help prevent these crimes by limiting the opportunity for a crime to happen. “You can make a difference in your vulnerability from a theft,” they stated. Police asked residents to not leave valuables locked or unlocked in a car, lock vehicle doors and windows, park in well-lit areas, leave outside residential lights on, park in a garage and

Opinion DFL Party spends political capital it earned at ballot box There was a sea change in the political landscape in 2012 when voters handed the DFL Party a majority in both houses of the Legislature to partner with DFL Gov. Mark Dayton. If there was any doubt that the party in control would retreat from its campaign promises, the legislative session that ended Monday, May 20, put those doubts to rest. When the session ended at 11:59 p.m. May 20, a $38.8 billion budget for the next two years was passed. It represents an 8.8 percent increase in state spending. The action requires $2.1 billion in new taxes, thanks largely to a 2 percent income tax hike on top income earners. The new budget includes $485 million in new state funding to E-12 education, $441 million in property tax relief, plugs a $627 million state budget hole, provides $250 million in new funding for higher education while freezing tuition costs for two years at the University of Minnesota and the 31 public colleges that represent the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. The new budget also increases funding for nursing homes. Democrats will say the new budget creates a fairer tax climate that requires the wealthy pay more while easing the burden on the middle class. Property

ECM Editorial tax relief will end a decade-old trend that witnessed an 86 percent growth in a tax that hits the middle class, small business and senior citizens the hardest. The new budget provides funding for school districts that elect to provide a free all-day, every day kindergarten program and directs new money to pre-K and special education programs. This editorial board is on record supporting the all-day, every day kindergarten program and additional funding for pre-K programs and believes the funding increases to support them are warranted. Republicans will say the new spending is an overreach, kills job growth in the state and stalls what is a slowly growing economy. They argue that the steps taken last year worked without raising taxes. The new budget is no more than pay-back to labor groups that helped the DFL gain power, Republicans say. Democrats counter that their plan is far from anti-business as it cuts $346 million in unemployment insurance taxes, pumps $30 million into the Minnesota Investment Fund as a measure to lure new businesses to the state and

assist growth of existing businesses and supports the Mayo Clinic Destination Medical Center project in Rochester. The latter calls for a state investment of up to $400 million that will leverage more than $6 billion in private and public investments tied to the world-famous Mayo Clinic. Other state businesses, including the Mall of America in Bloomington, will see help with expansion efforts. Some tax concessions were made by the DFL. A sales tax on clothing and a hefty tax on the wholesale prices of beer and liquor both fell by the wayside. There was no such luck for cigarettes, however, as smokers now face a tax increase of $1.60 per pack. Dayton early in the session abandoned his call for a series of business-to-business taxes that drew heated complaints. Efforts to broaden the sales tax base while lowering the rate failed. After failing to secure the votes for an $800 million state bonding program, the Legislature regrouped in the final hours to pass a patchwork bill totaling $156 million. It includes $109 million to continue the State Capitol restoration efforts. Lawmakers who voted to delay projects benefiting outstate regions will need to explain their reasons. Opposition to tax increases may not

be the sole rallying cry for Republicans when the full House of Representatives and the governor stand for election next year. We have not heard the last of controversial moves to approve gay marriage and allow some child care workers and personal care attendants the right to vote on collective bargaining. Both measures define the political and philosophical differences of most Republicans and Democrats. The DFL spent the political capital won at the ballot box in 2012. It is clear Democrats were aided by the political fallout of a state government shutdown and a pair of constitutional ballot amendments that energized their base in 2012. Now it could well be the Republicans that have found new energy, thanks to gay marriage and union issues. Is the pendulum of power that swung to the left in 2012 about to swing to the right? When the ballots are counted in 2014, we will know if the DFL overreached or if the public was truly convinced that the Republican way was the wrong way. This is an opinion from the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers.

The 2013 Legislature’s legacy starts with a question: Why? by David C. Olson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Legislature has adjourned, leaving a trail of votes certain to negatively impact all businesses and all Minnesotans. Please ask your elected officials: Why? The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and our statewide network of local chambers knew we’d be challenged by Gov. Mark Dayton and the new legislative leadership. Our worst fears were realized – and then some. The leaders convened in January promising, in their words, to abandon the failed policies and political overreach of the past decade. The governor, along with House Speaker Paul Thissen and Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, pledged to return Minnesota on a path to prosperity. The legislative scorecard is mindboggling. The ill effects of the policies enacted – from taxes/spending and health care to education and workforce, environment and energy, and a host of issues in between – will be felt by all Minnesotans. There were alternatives. We can do better.

Guest Columnist

David C. Olson Why did the Legislature raise permanent taxes by more than $2 billion to resolve a $627 million short-term deficit? They could have adopted a balanced approach by going through the budget line by line, eliminating unnecessary and wasteful spending. Why shouldn’t K-12 teachers have to pass a basic skills test before they enter a classroom? All students merit having the most effective teachers. Why was sales tax on business-tobusiness transactions imposed on certain industries, burdening them with these uncompetitive costs in order to provide sales-tax exemptions to local governments? These business-to-business taxes will result in driving jobs and business opportunities out of Minnesota as most states do not impose these costs. This is especially worrisome given the April unemployment report

which showed the loss of 11,400 Minnesota jobs with weakness noted in the same industries now being impacted by these new taxes. Why did we need to create another state agency with nearly 100 full-time employees to manage the new health insurance exchange – at a cost of $60 million that will be financed entirely by a tax on small businesses and individuals’ health care premiums? An exchange operated by the private sector could have achieved the same goals at far lower cost. Why did we need to raise solar energy standards and increase electricity costs for businesses and residences? Minnesota already has among the most aggressive renewable energy mandates in the nation. Why are we raising corporate income taxes on the Minnesota-based corporations that we value so highly in our state? Minnesota’s tax rate already ranks third highest in the nation; other states and nations are working to lower tax burdens. These examples are but a glimpse of the new laws that should be disturbing to all Minnesotans. Join with us, as the leader of the United for Jobs Coali-

tion, and ask your legislators the tough questions. There were better alternatives. Our Minnesota Chamber Federation worked with legislators all session long to recommend measures to strengthen our economy for the benefit of all Minnesotans. In the end, the governor and legislative leaders rejected nearly all suggestions aimed to prioritize, reform and redesign government operations. We are left with tired strategies that promise little hope for growing our economy. Minnesota cannot afford to raise the cost of doing business. Minnesota lost 14,700 jobs in March and April; our job growth numbers are lagging behind the U.S. average of 1.6 percent. The economic recovery remains fragile. As neighboring states are erecting billboards on our borders welcoming business, what message is Minnesota sending? Quite the opposite, I am afraid. David C. Olson is president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. More is at www.mnchamber.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Solar energy standards good To the editor: Recently, the Omnibus Clean Energy and Jobs bill was passed by the Minnesota Legislature setting a standard of 1.5 percent solar power in Minnesota by 2020 and a goal of 10 percent solar energy by 2030. This is a huge victory for Minnesota and a big step in moving the entire nation toward more renewable energy and less dirty coal burning that is polluting our air and water, and making our citizens ill. Minnesotans have

shown their support in moving toward renewable energy in order to create job opportunities, reduce our reliance on burning coal, and make solar power more efficient and more cost effective. Using renewable energy is not only going to reduce air and water pollution from burning coal and extracting natural gas, it will be more cost effective for consumers, make it easier to produce local energy, and help Minnesota move toward the future of renewable energy by making us a national leader in solar and wind power job market. Unfortunately,

this standard exempts electric cooperatives, such as Dakota Electric, which powers the majority of homes in the southeast metro area, resulting in a loss of economic development opportunities in those communities. This is important to me and many other Minnesotans because our reliance on burning coal and natural gas to generate electricity has had a significant impact on climate change and is creating more health-related issues due to pollution of waterways and air. In this technological day and age we are very capable of finding im-

Fewer students purchasing school lunch? To the editor: I enjoyed reading the May 24 story highlighting a number of problems our schools are facing resulting from federal government mandates in an effort to get students to eat healthier. Had I been the reporter, I would have chosen the title “Big government run amok, here’s an example.” I think I startled my wife when I laughed out loud upon reading about poor Ahna from Farmington who is forced to have croutons with her salad, which she doesn’t like. Sorry our government is so silly, but hopefully she will just pick the croutons off instead of foregoing the salad entirely in favor of a slice of pizza. The lesson for us voting adults embedded in this article – who should be responsible for our children? Parents or government? If we look to government, expect “solutions” this article highlights – one-sizefits-all solutions that only create multiple levels of

problems, which need even more solutions. Imagine food police monitoring each table to ensure not only that Johnny grabs a vegetable, but actually eats it. This is the path we’re put on. We’d need a referendum, by the way, to approve the cost, or we’d simply put that duty on the teachers. They’re not busy at lunchtime anyway, right? I know excellent teachers who are trapped in a broken system. I know each of them genuinely cares for our kids. And I was very impressed with the energy and creativity of the staff at the recent parents night for incoming sixth-graders at Century Middle School. I’ll choose parents and school staff working together in a local setting over big government fascist “solutions.” MARK BELLILE Lakeville

Many flaws in Lebanon Hills trail plan To the editor: With regard to the recently discussed plans to pave portions of the trails in Lebanon Hills Regional Park, this is an outdated plan that dissects one of the great gems lefts in our Twin Cities. I’ve been told it is to connect the campground and beach for bikers. There is already a connection point around the park. Beyond that, this would impact visitors only for about three months of the year. In the past nine months, I have run a 7-mile loop through the park every weekend (except for two I missed) and saw other hikers and runners out there every one of my trips. First time I saw campers in the last nine months was last night, and I don’t think any of them will be using the beach this Memorial Day weekend. The cost of this has been documented and just does not generate the type of return or benefit to the community that we must expect in our current state of affairs. I ask that we come together as a community to build a unique experience with Lebanon Hills that will continue to meet the needs of its current yearround users as well as prepare and protect it for generations to come.

To the editor: In an ideal world, every student in our schools would have an Individual Education Plan. At the very least, we need to press our legislative representatives to make certain that every school district has the funding to adequately provide planning for special needs children. This program not only helps the “special” child, but is a benefit for the entire student population and a great support for our already overworked teach- NATE DAMRO ers. It is taxpayer money Eagan

The Farmington School Board continued conversation about adding a student to the board as early as next school year at its May 28 meeting. While a student would not have voting power, he or she could provide insight on issues and collaborate with board members. The board discussed how to select the student and how many should serve. Board Member Brian Treakle said that student government should make the choice. “It really gives (students) the ability to make their choice,” he said. Board Member Melissa Sauser disagreed, suggesting that student government runs the risk of a “popularity contest.” She

suggested students should go through some sort of application process with a teacher recommendation. Board Member Jake Cordes said he attended a session about student board members at the Minnesota School Board Association workshop. He said other schools have chosen students from an application that also included a teacher recommendation and review by the building principal. “Then the applications come to us, and we review them and narrow a group into a smaller group of five or six students similar to a job interview,” he said. Superintendent Jay Haugen said logistically applications could open and be reviewed in September, so a student could start attending meetings in October. Then in future years, the application could be due in May.

Board Chair Tera Lee asked Haugen if he had experience on a previous board with a student, and how many Farmington Schools should be represented on the board. Haugen said one student usually a junior was selected for his previous board, then the student could stay on for senior year. Haugen said he could see how another student might be helpful because one student might not be able to attend every meeting. Cordes and Sauser agreed with the idea of having two students while Treakle and Board Member Laura Beem thought one was better. The issue will be discussed at a future meeting.

Lakeville Carbones opens patio Owners plan to seek later hours by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An established Lakeville restaurant is offering patrons a new way to dine. Carbones owners John and Nicki Wilkus, have added a 1,200-squarefoot patio that wraps around the building with seating for 75. The restaurant, at 7670 160th St. W., has been modified to include a glass door that opens into the addition of an upscale patio featuring a styled brick wall, gas fireplace, large television and a decorative gas fire pit. Half the patio is open and the other half is cov-

ered with a ceiling that is equipped with a heating option to take the edge off crisp Minnesota nights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different from others around because it has the roof option,â&#x20AC;? John Wilkus said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sit in the sun all the time.â&#x20AC;? This is the third time the Wilkusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have expanded the restaurant since they opened in 2002. They added 1,500 square feet to the bar and dining room in 2004 and two years later added another 2,000 square feet and separated the bar and dining areas to promote a more familyfriendly dining experience.

Since adding the patio and a Lions Club pulltab booth, the business has expanded to 80 employees, John Wilkus said. He added that the restaurant makes all its food from scratch, opting out of using premade sauces and pizza crusts. The $240,000 patio, a nonsmoking environment, is only allowed to remain open until 10 p.m. under city ordinance, and the owners are planning to rally other restaurant owners to ask the city to change the ordinance to allow restaurant patios to remain open later, possibly until midnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would just be nice,â&#x20AC;? John Wilkus said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, if someone sits at 9:45 and wants to eat and drink, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even order food outside because after 10, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not allowed.â&#x20AC;? The Wilkusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are planning a grand opening event later this month after the landscaping is installed, although diners have been enjoying patio dining for about two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great atmosphere and great food,â&#x20AC;? John Wilkus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of the fact that we make everything fresh here.â&#x20AC;? Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

ing feet by taking off your skates and running two laps around the warming house.” It’s these stories that help continue to keep Louis Schmitz’s memory very much alive in Farmington. “We want to keep that alive because he had some great experiences, and we all had great experiences,” Randy Schmitz said. “When they talk about memories, it’s not about the wins, the losses and the scores.” And how would Louis Schmitz react to this? “Dad was pretty humble, and he would be humbled by it,” Randy Schmitz said. The foundation raises money through a golf tournament. The second annual tournament is at 11 a.m. Friday, June 21, at Southern Hills Golf Course and still has a few spots open.

The foundation donated $500 at the May 20 City Council meeting to help pay for Parks and Recreation fees. “Dad believed (kids) should be involved or active in sports,” son Bobby Schmitz told the council. “He saw sports as a way to change lives.” The annual contribution will forge a new partnership between the city and organization. Mayor Todd Larson said Louis Schmitz was one of the first adults he met when he moved to Farmington at age 10. “He never got mad at us,” Larson said, describing memories of a chaotic bus ride to an early morning ice time at a totally foggy rink. “Louis said things could be worst.” Email Theresa Malloy at Larson also shared theresa.malloy@ecm-inc. how Louis Schmitz al- com. ways said to warm freez-

A: A sealant is a tough plastic material designed to bond with tooth enamel forming an invisible shield against decay. Sealants are a great recommendation for any teeth that have deep grooves or pits (typically most back teeth or molars) on both children and adults. Sealants can prevent a cavity from forming and are truly an invaluable form of prevention against cavities and are MUCH less expensive than paying for a filling.

Sports Irish regain conference track championship Relays shine for Rosemount boys track and field by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount loaned the South Suburban Conference boys track and field championship to Apple Valley for a year, then took it back with a solid performance over two days last week at Eagan High School. The Irish, who last won the SSC title in 2011, scored 122.5 points in the conference meet and finished 15 ahead of runner-up Eastview. Prior Lake was third with 91, followed by defending champion Apple Valley with 84. It was a much closer competition than the SSC girls meet, where Lakeville South finished 45 points ahead of its closest pursuer. Rosemount was particularly strong in relays, winning three of the four races. Luke Ander-

son, Samuel Ivanecky, Kwame Owusu and Aaron Elizondo took first in the 4x800-meter relay in 8 minutes, 11.23 seconds. The Irish also were first in the 4x100 relay in a conference record 43.43 seconds. They won the 4x200 in 1:32.10 and took second in the 4x400. Rosemount scored more than one-fourth of its team points in the four relay events. Rosemount senior Trevor Capra was an individual standout, winning the 1,600 in 4:29.92 and the 3,200 in 9:38.36. Those races were held on consecutive days, with the 3,200 taking place during SSC preliminaries May 21 and the 1,600 run at the finals May 22. Payton Otterdahl, a junior, threw the shot put 55 feet, 5.25 inches to win the event. It was almost 3 feet farther than his previous best this season. Otterdahl added a fourth-place finish

in the discus. Grant Jackson, a junior, was one of Rosemount’s top performers in the individual sprints. He took second in the 200 in 22.11, a time that was faster than the previous conference record, and placed seventh in the 100. Senior Preston Webb finished fifth in the 200 and junior Jordan Herbranson was fifth in the 400. Alexander Berhe, a sophomore, came in fifth in the 3,200. Senior Christian Hummelgard placed fifth in the 300 hurdles. Austin Leslie, also a senior, finished fifth in the shot put and discus. Rosemount finished sixth in the state Class AAA true team meet May 17. The Irish are at the Section 3AA meet this week at the University of St. Thomas, which was still in progress when this edition went to press. The

Irish are hoping to get enough athletes to the Minnesota State High School League Class AA meet to avoid a repeat of last year, when they did not score at the state meet.

Rosemount girls

100 hurdles in 15.28. She is No. 2 on this week’s state track and field honor roll in both hurdles races. Her two victories supplied almost one-third of the Irish’s 62 team points (Rosemount finished sixth in the conference meet). She also ran with Marissa Knott, Josie French and Ellie Vraa on a 4x200 relay that placed third in 1:48.25. Rosemount also had a conference champion in the discus, where senior Katie Duff won with a throw of 130-6, exactly 4 feet better than the runner-up. French, a ninth-grader, added a third place in the 100. Vraa was third in the 100 hurdles and sixth in the 300 hurdles. Ninthgrader Haley Polk finished fifth in the triple jump.

Rosemount sophomore Rachel Schow tried to qualify for state this week in two hurdles races. If she gets to the state meet June 7-8 at Hamline University, she could be an athlete to watch. Schow set a conference record of 45.27 seconds in the 300 hurdles at the SSC girls finals May 22 at Eagan High School. She took more than half a second off the previous conference record against a field that included former state place-winner Shaina Burns of Lakeville South.

Tiger girls lacrosse advances to semifinals Farmington tops John Marshall 12-8 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Armed with the No. 4 seed and a home playoff game, the Farmington girls lacrosse team took advantage, winning in the Section 1 quarterfinals a 12-8 victory against Rochester John Marshall on Tuesday. “The girls were ready to play today,” head coach Dan Pickens said. “They came out fast and strong.” The Tigers put the game out of reach early, leading 10-2 at halftime. “Credit to (goalie) Maddie Kohlbeck who made some very big saves in the first half to put the game out of reach,” Pickens said.

Farmington girls are runner-up

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On Tuesday afternoon, Eastview and Rosemount showed why bunting still has a place in baseball. Executing bunts and defending against bunts proved decisive as defending state Class AAA champion Eastview opened the Section 3 playoffs with a 3-2, eight-inning victory over Rosemount at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. The Lightning ran themselves out of the sixth inning when an attempted two-strike suicide squeeze misfired, trapping a runner between third and home. That left the score at 2-2, where it remained until the bottom of the eighth. A.J. Stockwell led off the eighth with a single and advanced to second on Cole McDevitt’s single. Rhett Hebig then pushed a bunt down the third-base line and the throw to first sailed wide of the bag, allowing Stockwell to score the winning run. With teams having little opportunity to practice outside during the regular season because of fickle weather, the ability to execute on plays such as that becomes even more important. “We can work on a few of those things in the gym, but it was nice to be outside and practice those situations before the playoffs,” said Eastview coach Tom Strey, whose team had six days off before its playoff opener. Eastview (13-7) was scheduled to play Burnsville on Wednesday as the

Rosemount sophomore Luke Dahl pitched a complete game against Eastview in the Section 3AAA baseball playoffs but wound up with a 3-2 loss. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) double-elimination portion of the section tournament continued. Rosemount (9-11) was to face Eagan in an elimination game. The Irish twice had one-run leads in Tuesday’s game, and were stung by the way it finished. “It’ll take a while to get the guys back up (emotionally), especially after the way this one ended,” Rosemount coach Chris Swansson said. Going into Tuesday, Rosemount had a 7-2 record in one-run games, so a low-scoring playoff game figured to be to the Irish’s liking. Although they had lost to Eastview twice during the regular season, the second game was by 4-3. “The last two times we played Eastview, we thought we were right there with them,” Swans-

and Kiefer Schmidt) was third and the 4x400 (Lerbakken, Justin Hyytinen, Weigel and Grubb) came in second. Two individuals won conference titles, as well. Hyytinen was the fastest runner in the 1,600 and he also took second in the 3,200. Nehemiah Rockett won the 300 hurdles. He also took third in 110 hurdles and ninth in triple jump, Dan Berg netted the team several points as well, coming in ninth in 110 hurdles, fifth in high jump and sixth in 300 hurdles. Top 10 finishes include: Auge fourth in 100; Grubb second in 200; Parco sixth in 200; Weigel fourth in 400; Lerbakken third in 800; Webb fourth in 800; Wolt fifth in 800; Adam Wallenta sixth in 3,200; Connor Phu fourth in pole vault; C.J. Wynings third in discus; Brandon King fourth in discus; Alexander Burton seventh in discus; Mason Gaylord fifth in triple jump; Tanner Thode third in shot put; Godfrey Mpetey ninth in shot put; Michael Husnick seventh in shot put; and Wyatt Ferm third in high jump. This was the first conference title for the boys team since 2009. The Tigers were at Lakeville South this week for the Section 1AA meet. The finals are scheduled for Saturday.

Coming into the Missota Conference championships last week, Farmington boys track coach Brian Helmstetter’s goal was to finish in the top three. After placing sixth last year, and considering the competition, Helmstetter felt several things had to break for the Tigers to win. But the Tigers had experience with big events such as the Missota Conference championships. After relying on many freshmen and sophomores in the past few years, many of those athletes are now juniors and seniors and know that you need to step up big to win big. With 18 athletes in the top 10 and four conference titles, the Tigers pulled off a big win with 192 points. “They were all awesome, and they had many (personal records),” Helmstetter said. “If you were to look at just individual improvements from last year to this year, it is impressive, across every event, these guys have improved.” The Tigers had two relays win conference titles — the 4x200-meter relay with Mason Auge, Ryan Parco, Thomas Weigel and Tanner Grubb and the 4x800 with Tyler Lerbakken, Adam Dougherty, Devon Webb and Jared Wolt.

Goodwill Duals coming to Apple Valley A number of top youth wrestlers from Minnesota and Wisconsin will compete Saturday in the annual Goodwill Duals at Hayes Arena in Apple Valley. Approximately 60 wrestlers from the two states will compete in eight dual meets, with action starting at noon. The wrestlers, ages 11-12, have competed successfully in state tournaments and many have been in regional and national meets. Minnesota and Wisconsin each will field two teams, an “A” and “B” team. Each team will

wrestle the two teams from the other state in freestyle and Greco-Roman meets, meaning some individuals could compete as many as four times on Saturday. Three wrestlers from Apple Valley and two from Lakeville will be on the Minnesota teams. Apple Valley wrestlers competing are Paxton Creese, Regan Schrempp and Cael Swensen. The Lakeville residents are Phil Skeps and Willy Bastyr. Two Apple Valley youth coaches, Rudy James and Eric Swensen, will help coach the Minnesota teams. The event alternates be-

tween sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin. At last year’s Goodwill Duals in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin “A” team went 4-0. Minnesota’s “A” and “B” teams both went 2-2. This year’s competition originally was scheduled for Augsburg College but had to be moved because the Augsburg facility was double-booked. Organizers looked at the Mall of America as an alternate site, but Apple Valley wrestling boosters arranged to rent Hayes Arena. – Mike Shaughnessy

He probably wouldn’t pitch again before next week anyway.” Rosemount junior Ben Smith pitched a three-hitter in the Irish’s 3-2 firstround section victory over TIGERS, from 10A ebrate after the Missota championships with two relays winning titles along with two individuals. That put the girls in second place with 145 points, 69.5 points behind Chanhassen.

SENIOR EASTVIEW HIGH SCHOOL

SOPHOMORE | GOALIE LAKEVILLE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL

4-YR LETTER WINNER RANKED #3 IN SECTIONS TEAM MVP, ALL CONFERENCE

Kelsey is new to the game of lacrosse. She came out for the first time last year as a freshman and was planning on playing as a field player. She is an accomplished hockey player and decided to give lacrosse a try. After a few games, the coaches were in need of a steady goalie and by watching her perform in the field and noticing her combination of athleticism and hand eye coordination we suggested that she put on the helmet and try goalie. Most players would balk at that notion because who really wants a solid rubber ball hurling at them at break neck speeds. However, Kelsey jumped at the chance and she has not come out of the nets since. She finished her freshman year strong, but recently has really begun to hit her stride as one of the top goalies in the state. She is one of the big reasons the Cougars are 11-0, SSC conference champions and ranked #3 in the state. She is currently #6 in the state for save percentages, #4 in goal percentages and tied for first in wins with 11. In her most recent game, she was able to hold a very powerful Lakeville North team to 4 first half goals on her way to a 10-9 win.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a really good soccer program. The school is like nothing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen before. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a paradise.â&#x20AC;? He so excited that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to be there June 27 to start summer school and soccer practice. Gweh didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take soccer seriously until he moved to Minnesota in 2005, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still secondary on his list of priorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving here, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized soccer was my golden ticket to college. I did a lot of work in school to get there.â&#x20AC;? While he was scoring goals and raking in the accomplishments on the soccer field, Gweh was also gathering academic awards. He received academic letters the past two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soccer is important to me but I feel school is more important,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play soccer forever. School is something that will stay with me until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a lot of business courses at Eastview and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taught me to think outside the box,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to open my own business. I have some crazy ideas in mind. Maybe one day Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go back to Liberia and open up a business. Everything that happened with the civil war and reconstruction, I want to help the country become what it once was, and help those people recovering from the war.â&#x20AC;? As his days at Eastview comes to a close, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to turn the page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more than ready to start the next chapter in my life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of my future goals are in line, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to accomplish them. Graduating from college and starting a business for myself, most of that is going to happen in the next few years. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited to go to college and start life.â&#x20AC;?

Most people will recognize Eastview 2013 graduate Mathew Gweh as soccer superstar, one of the top players in the class of 2013 in all of Minnesota. He was a member of the 2011 Eastview soccer team that finished second in the Class AA state tournament, which earned him several player of the year awards. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a star with the Minnesota Thunder Academy elite club team. The road to his graduation on Saturday from Eastview High School has had many twists and turns, but as the driver, Gweh never took his eyes off the road. Gweh wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t born in Apple Valley. In fact, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to spell â&#x20AC;&#x153;appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; until about seven years ago. Gweh lived in Liberia and New Guinea before moving to Minnesota when he was in the fifth grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I think back I laugh,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything at all when I moved here. I had never gone to school before. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to spell the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; All the kids were doing their schoolwork and I thought they were all geniuses. I really wanted to know what they were doing.â&#x20AC;? At the time, he was thankful to be alive. Gweh remembers leaving Liberia in the midst of war when he was about 6. The chaos didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. His family moved to New Guinea â&#x20AC;&#x153;where a tornado collapsed the building I was in,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That almost cost me my life. I was too young to get out and people started running over me. That was one of the closest Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to death.â&#x20AC;? He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape tragedy in Minnesota either. In 2008 while living in Fridley, his closest cousin was shot to death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That deeply touched

me,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go a day without seeing his name in my mind.â&#x20AC;? Through the years he studied hard, and his talent on the soccer field blossomed, which led him to the Minnesota Thunder Academy, a member of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. The past few years, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played against the top youth clubs in the country and internationally. But before his sophomore year, Gwehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother decided to move to Iowa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here I was playing on a good soccer team with the Thunder and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stop and start all over,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told my mom I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to move and she agreed. I wanted to live a better life, and soccer and school could give me a better life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put everything into soccer and school.â&#x20AC;? One of his Thunder coaches Rob Zahl offered to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put into words how much he helped me,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He offered to stay with him.â&#x20AC;? That led him to Eastview his sophomore year. It was a good fit. As a junior in 2011 he was named the Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year in Minnesota. The elite soccer season extended through fall, so he was unable to play with the Eastview varsity team his senior year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sometimes feel like a celebrity at Eastview,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone welcomed me with a smile. The staff knows me. I wanted to stay away from trouble and just focus on school and Eastview has been perfect for that.â&#x20AC;? After playing a tournament in Florida with the Minnesota Thunder, Gweh was approached by High Point University in North Carolina where he was offered a scholarship to play Division I soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m overexcited,â&#x20AC;? Gweh
