County looks to add paved trail in Lebanon Hills park Plan includes 24.5 miles of unpaved trails and 8.5 miles of paved trails by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Simple solution needs work The ECM Editorial Board says there is simple solution to improve school success, but it will require the work of many. Page 4A
Dakota County officials are considering adding paved trails in Lebanon Hills Regional Park, but the plan has met resistance from residents.
A hilly, 1,842 acres in Eagan and Apple Valley, Lebanon Hills is the county’s largest and most used park, said Dakota County Parks Director Steve Sullivan. Attendance has doubled since 2001 from 274,000 visitors per year
to 543,000, prompting officials to re-examine the park’s master plan. Park officials are proposing a new master park plan that includes 24.5 miles of unpaved trails, a new paved 6.5-mile connector trail that runs east and west and a 2-mile
paved loop around Holland and McDonough lakes. The paved trails would provide four-season recreation for bicyclists, walkers and skaters, Sullivan said. See LEBANON, 2A

Public speaking and debate are highly refined skills that aren’t often used by the unassuming. Though he seems like a typical high school senior, Rosemount’s Wesley Just has mastered them. The 2013 alumnus from Rosemount High School graduated as perhaps the best speaker and debater with the highest total National Forensic League tournament points in the school’s history. He has one last debate in him. Just and his teammate Andrew Hanson are heading to the NFL tournament Saturday through Tuesday in Birmingham, Ala. It’s Just’s third time at nationals. Just qualified for Student Congress, which is a mix of speech and debate, his sophomore and junior years. This year he qualified in Policy Debate and Student Congress again, but he can only compete at nationals in one event. “I’m going in policy debate — that way I’m not shorting Andrew, and I really prefer debate,” Just said. “It’s really interesting.

LEBANON, from 1A All existing unpaved trails in Lebanon Hills will remain unpaved, according to the new master plan. The plans have sparked concern from residents who would like to keep the park pristine. Eagan resident Holly Jenkins organized about eight people, whom she describes as passionate park users, to challenge the master plan. “We do not need, nor want paved trails through every park in Dakota County – Lebanon Hills in particular,” Jenkins said in an email. “Natural, undeveloped places are becoming harder to find despite studies which continue to show the many benefits of natural, open space.” Fellow Eagan resident Diane Pavlak said she feels adding paved trails would “ruin the park.” “People come from all over to walk and ride bikes through this beautiful park,” said Pavlak, who has lived across Cliff Road from the park since 1959. “If people prefer paved walkways, there are other parks to visit.” County officials say
they have heard from paved-trail opponents but say they are trying to strike a balance between nature and recreation opportunities for all park users. “We need to accommodate everyone in the county, including those who are currently prevented from going because the park is not accessible to them,” Dakota County Commissioner Tom Egan said. Egan said the new paved trails will provide better access for people with disabilities and a connection to park amenities. Jenkins agreed that the park should be accessible to everyone but said she doesn’t believe paved trails are the solution. She said she hopes county officials consider segments of unpaved ADA-compliant trails in Lebanon Hills. Egan said that the paved trails will also provide better access to fishing and canoeing areas and a connection to the county’s 200 miles of paved greenway trails. Though Lebanon Hills is a regional park and not a park preserve, county officials plan to
leave as much open space as possible to hikers who may not want to view the paved trails, Sullivan said. “Unfortunately, the park can’t be everything to everyone,” he said. “There are choices that have to be made, but we’re trying to do it in a transparent way.” County officials welcome public input on early concepts, Sullivan said. The county has held several public meetings throughout the year and continues to solicit comments on its website. Future public meetings are in the works, he said. The park currently has a campground, a beach and 19 miles of unpaved trails that are used by bicyclists, horseback riders and walkers. Less than a mile of paved walkways are near the visitor center. A draft of the plan is expected to be released for public review in July and voted on by the County Board in August or September.

Areas of interest The top three areas of interest for Rosemount residents surveyed were cardiovascular and fitness machines (77 percent), an indoor track (74) and wellness programs (71). Interest also was high interest for water activities, as more than 50 percent said they had a great deal or some interest in six different areas. More than 60 percent said they had a great deal or some interest in an indoor aquatic center, indoor pool for lap swimming and a sauna or whirlpool. Water facilities also ranked high in other areas, such as what would make them want to join. “It is a very popular thing since we don’t have one in the community,� Johnson said. The only indoor pool in Rosemount is located at Rosemount Middle School, which is used primarily for District 196 swim teams and curricular swim instruction. More than 80 percent of resident respondents had a great deal or some interest in before- or after-school child care at $55 per child per week. More than 50 percent said they had a great interest or some interest in allday child care for toddlers or preschool students at $258 and $230 per week per child, respectively.

A recent study of Rosemount residents and students at Dakota County Technical College found that a YMCA recreational facility would produce a solid membership base and revenue stream, according to a research team at Anderson, Niebuhr & Associates. The market analysis said a YMCA in Rosemount could likely generate $2.9 million to $3.5 million per year in annual memberships that could number 2,700 among local residents and another 700 or so among DCTC students. The survey questioned 350 Rosemount-area households (including some portions of Eagan, Apple Valley and Farmington) by phone and 350 full-time DCTC students through the Internet. It found that 89 percent of Rosemount-area residents said they would like to see the YMCA part of the community. “I thought that was kind of overwhelming support,� City Administrator Dwight Johnson said. The survey found 10 percent of residents and 15 percent of students already belonged to the YMCA. Twenty-eight percent of Rosemountarea residents surveyed said they would definitely or probably join and another 29 percent said maybe. YMCA membership allows users access to the 21 YMCA’s in the Twin Cities. There are YMCAs in Burnsville, Eagan and Hastings. Sixty-three percent of DCTC students surveyed said they would probably or definitely use the YMCA with 74 percent saying they want to see the recreation center as part of the DCTC campus. Depending on the price, 37 percent of students said they would get an individual membership as part of student fees, while another 44 indicated they would pay more, but it depends on

price. “I didn’t have a sense that the numbers were negative,� Johnson said. The financial roles of DCTC and the city of Rosemount are unknown. “Right now we don’t know what that might look like,� Johnson said. A return phone call was not received from the communications office of the YMCA as of deadline. A 45,000-square-foot YMCA recently constructed in Northfield was built primarily with donations.

Let the No Child Left Behind games begin. Days after Senate Democrats dropped their NCLB overhaul plan, Minnesota Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, introduced the House GOP’s response, one bill encompassing most of the party’s reform platform from last session. Then, Kline’s Education and Workforce Committee passed three separate bills meant to overhaul the decade-old, long-expired and muchmaligned No Child law. The bills would: • Eliminate scores of federal education programs deemed duplicative or ineffective by committee Republicans; • Allow local school districts to use federal education money for purposes other than their intended use; • And make it easier for states to develop and expand charter schools, which was the only component of the plan to receive bipartisan support. Kline said this year’s proposals are largely the same, only they’re rolled into one bill and expanded a bit this time around, by increasing science-education assessment standards, allowing school districts to spend more federal money on safety programs and conforming the measures to new post-sequestration federal funding levels, among other things. The committee will take up the bill June 19, and it could see floor action before August, Kline said Thursday. No Child Left Behind is years overdue for congressional renewal, but Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on how to do it. Absent an overhaul agreement, the Obama administration began is-

Opinion The simple solution to educational excellence Any discussion of public education – its needs, its strengths and weaknesses – generates a vast array of ideas, blame, expenses and controversy. It is almost surprising to find one premise that is universally agreed upon by administrators, politicians of all persuasions and teachers. It is this: Children need to be reading at or above grade level by the end of the third grade, or face a distinct chance of spending their remaining educational years (and perhaps the rest of their lives) at a disadvantage. In Minnesota, 63 percent of all fourth-graders are not proficient in reading. Of black children, 88 percent are not proficient. Third grade is crucial to the learning process because at this point students should no longer be learning to read, but reading to learn. Students who cannot read cannot grasp the concepts outlined in a math textbook, or understand their social studies assignment. This reading gap is a key component of our state’s achievement gap. According to the “Double Jeopardy” report by Dr. Donald Hernandez, one in six children who are not reading proficiently in third grade fail to graduate from high school on time, four times the rate for children with proficient third-grade reading skills. If we ensure that all children make the transition from third to fourth grade with proper reading skills, we ensure a solid foundation for the years ahead. It’s that simple. But it’s not easy.
ECM Editorial Many young children today enter kindergarten without the foundation for learning. They have limited vocabulary and life experiences. Some do not know how to hold a pencil or crayon. They are already behind. Compound the situation with students who do not understand English, or who come to school each day hungry, and the simple task of teaching can become overwhelming. In previous ECM Editorial Board editorials, we urged our state’s lawmakers to approve additional funding for preschool programs and to fully fund all-day kindergarten. We are pleased the Legislature came through on both counts. How can we be assured the extra funds for early childhood learning are not wasted? How can we foster classrooms filled with fourth-graders ready to tackle science, math and social studies because they have the necessary reading skills? Experts, from Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius to school district administrators to teachers in the classroom, agree with these concepts:
Schools need flexibility to use state funds to meet their needs. One suburban school might need a reading teacher fluent in Spanish, Hmong or Somalian. Another school might need a “floating” specialist to offset large class sizes. A school district with a large population of poverty might take a very different approach than a rural district. Equally essential is teacher empowerment. Our teachers need to be given the proper tools and training to achieve the goal of student reading proficiency by third grade. Well-prepared teachers will offer specialized literacy training, adapting to each student’s needs. Schools, principals and teachers need to be held accountable to meet reading goals. Failing schools need redirection or need to be shut down (if shutting them down is not an option, they likely need new leadership). Schools need to systematically reach out to parents and invite them into the building, respecting their diversity while helping them understand family expectations. Extra help needs to be obtainable for children with obvious needs. The oft-cited Finnish educational program quickly helps any child with extra needs in the early grades. Our system is much the opposite – we let children slip methodically
behind, then we take extensive special education dollars to try to bring them back to standards in middle school or high school. Parents must be accountable. After all, parents are still a child’s most powerful teacher. Parents need to be fully engaged partners in their child’s educational experience, working with their child’s teachers and demanding the best from their school district. Many nonprofit organizations are involved. The McKnight Foundation has given a large grant to the Brooklyn Center School District to focus on reading skills. It reports, “A majority of Brooklyn Center students demonstrated a full year’s worth of accelerated literacy progress by just February, through use of the initiatives’ tools and shared resources.” Every literate adult can help. The Minnesota Reading Corps is one volunteer program whose main purpose is to provide reading tutors to children in need. Become a tutor and urge your school to utilize local volunteers. We evoke the somewhat overused and controversial phrase, “It takes a village to raise a child.” It takes a team to teach our children to read: Good schools, trained teachers, involved parents. The solution is simple but not easy. It requires a village of Minnesotans to produce happy, capable fourth-graders eager to learn. This editorial is a product of the ECM Editorial Board.

How much should schools spend to attract and retain students? by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A provocative email from a recently elected central Minnesota school board member included the following: “The world is much different (than) when my parents made their decisions (about schools). I am struggling with how much tax money should be spent to retain and attract students.” Below is my response. Hope to hear what you think. Recognizing that there are many ways to spend taxpayer dollars, here are ways I would and would not spend money to attract and retain students. Improving a school’s or district’s program. There’s no single thing that all families are seeking from school – except safety. If a school has a reputation as a place where bullying or other forms of violence are not dealt with, the school often will lose students. So safety has to be a top priority. Many schools survey their students about this and other issues. Surveying students and families about what they see as strengths and shortcomings seems like a top priority.
Sun Thisweek Columnist

Also related to programs, the Minnesota Department of Education’s recent Rigorous Course Taking study shows growing interest in dual high school and college credit courses. Find the study online at http://goo.gl/Tlodn. MDE found, for example, that in the past three years, the number of students taking College in the Schools or Dual Enrollment courses increased from less than 19,000 to almost 22,000. The total number of students taking Advanced Placement exams increased over the past five years from about 26,000 to more than 35,000. So a school board should study its dual credit program. If not much, building new partnerships, with higher educa-
tion or other providers could be wise. Spending more money on buildings was part of the school board member’s query. He wondered if additional money should be spent on improving older buildings or putting up newer ones. A great place to start answering this question is by going to the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities website (www.ncef.org). NCEF has literally thousands of documents about topics such as which building features can save energy and money for taxpayers or how buildings can contribute to (or detract from) student learning. It should be mentioned that I was an unpaid board member of NCEF, which formerly received federal funds. The school board member who contacted me said that funds for buildings “could be used for staff, technology and supplies.” Although this is a very complex subject, in general, money for buildings from the state or from local property taxes can’t be used to pay for teachers or school supplies. Advertising. Wise schools and districts communicate with families and the
broader community. With the growth of the Internet, Facebook, Twitter and other “social media,” opportunities to share information are increasing exponentially. But many families see through hype. They want accurate information about programs and accomplishments. Rhetoric, which I sometimes see on school and district websites, is less persuasive than more specific information. Most families are not just interested in test scores, attendance and graduation rates (although those matter and should be shared). Families also are looking for information about special opportunities the school offers. But word spreads if schools promise and don’t deliver. Budgets are, in part, a reflection of a school’s priorities. Wise schools and districts use their human and financial resources to strengthen and share their programs, progress and plans.

Planting for clean water with an environmentally friendly rain garden by Meghan Jackson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Want a new method of gardening that doesn’t require additional watering or fertilizers, incorporates native plants and looks beautiful? What is it? It’s a rain garden. Some gardens are planted for a specific purpose, like growing food to eat, or flower to pick. A rain garden’s purpose is to catch rain and prevent runoff from a roof, driveway, or other hard areas around a home. Many residents may already be aware of rain gardens and the many benefits they can provide for their properties and water resources. Consisting of a shallow depression planted with attractive flowers, grasses, and shrubs, rain gardens have been gaining popularity for years and examples abound in our area. The Environmental Protection Agen-
Guest Columnist cy estimates that pollutants in stormwater runoff (or non-point source pollution) are responsible for about 70 percent of all water pollution in lakes, rivers and creeks. Since most property is privately owned, we all need to do our part to reduce this type of pollution, and what you plant in your yard to help water soak makes a difference. When it rains, water runs over the land, and water that does not soak into the ground runs off and picks up pollutants along the way. Rain gardens help to intercept, slow down, and clean some of this stormwater runoff before it can get to our lakes and streams. A rain garden is designed so that any stormwater soaks away within 48 hours after the rain stops, so mosquitoes will not have a chance to reproduce. They
are planted just like a regular garden or flowerbed, and if planned and maintained, they can be an amenity for any property. The major difference between a raingarden and a regular flower garden is that the bed of a rain garden is planted as a depression, rather than in a mound or at ground level. Additionally, rain gardens include mostly native plants that easily adapt to the soil and water conditions in your area. Including native plants in your rain garden can have many benefits. Not only are native plants best adapted to our local climate, but they are much heartier than non-natives because their roots are generally long and can find their own water. By incorporating native plants into rain gardens, the two will help clean water naturally, since native’s deep rooted systems anchor soil and act as filters, while rain gardens collect dirty

To the editor: A recent opinion piece from the state Chamber of Commerce asserted tax increases enacted by Democrats at the Legislature this past year will hurt our citizens and businesses. It neglected to mention that, aside from tobacco taxes, those taxes mostly impacted higher-income earners and businesses. According to the State Department of Revenue, upper-income businesses and individuals have paid a smaller share of their rapidly rising incomes in taxes than the rest of us. And, contrary to assertions of a recent editorial piece, DFLers from Gov. Mark Dayton on down had said they
water from streets and rooftops. Native plants are also more valuable than non-natives because of their unique relationship with other local organisms. Nectar, pollen, and seeds for bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife are just a few ways natives are kind to critters. In addition to providing local food sources, native plants also provide critical habitat for our beautiful and diverse native butterflies, insects, and birds. You can make a difference starting with your yard. For more information about this new method of gardening and native plants, visit the Blue Thumb website at www.bluethumb.org.

would raise taxes on these folks if they were elected, since it made great sense and had popular support. Meantime, our recent education budgets lagged well behind other states, and higher class sizes showed it: over 40 students per room, canceled electives, no activity buses and frequent levy referendums, as schools tried to make up the difference. Democrats shored up this and other neglected assets like roads and bridges, public safety and public health. Other problems remain regarding food security for thousands of families still without enough income. At some point the crumbling infrastructure, both man-made and intellectual, needed to be addressed before collapsing from a
conscious lack of care and attention. The opinion piece also ignored the state’s low unemployment rate, compared to its neighbors. How many businesses really base their location decisions on tax rankings? The many profitable, solvent businesses in Minnesota might not otherwise be choosing this state and its well-prepared employees with their can-do ethic and training. Democrats in the Legislature deserve the appreciation and applause of all of us for working to level the playing field. RON COMMINS Eagan See LETTERS, 5A
DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE June 13, 2013
LETTERS, from 4A
Cedar construction a missed opportunity To the editor: Minnesota’s transportation planners are historically incompetent: underbuilt roads, poorly designed common stretches (Crosstown or I-35E/694), traffic-clogging cloverleafs (instead of semi-directional “stack� interchanges) and inexplicable lane drops (Cedar Avenue in Eagan), to name a few Minnesota Department of Transportation blunders. They’re notorious for doing things “cheap� several times rather than paying slightly more to do them right the
first time (i.e. the many adaptations of the 494/169 junction, which still isn’t fixed after over $200 million). Arguably one of their biggest blunders is Cedar Avenue. Who in their right mind thought it viable to morph a six-lane freeway into a stoplight-laden surface street? The kicker is they did this with no option to extend the freeway once inevitable growth occurred. Brilliant. Presented with an opportunity to address a problem, they did ‌ nothing. I’m speaking of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42, the state’s busiest at-grade intersection. Since lack of planning and foresight prohibited an interchange here,
when they reconstructed this intersection they should’ve looked for innovative ways to maximize traffic capacity by eliminating or adapting traffic movements, mainly left turns. There is a design called the Michigan Left. It requires left-turning traffic to turn right, doing a U-turn at a designated spot to proceed, or to proceed through the intersection to a turnaround, turning right when they reach the intersection again. This may be a pain to those turning, but eliminating a cycle from the stoplight greatly enhances intersection capacity. Another newer and better concept is the Continuous Flow Intersection, an at-grade intersection that moves the turning
vehicles, conflicting with the through-movements, out of the main intersection. A CFI moves the left turn down the road several hundred feet, eliminating the left-turn traffic signal phase, thereby greatly improving traffic flow and capacity. Google it for a simulation. Presented with opportunity, traffic engineers chose more of the same: gridlock. The fact that those we pay to design and build our roads are exceedingly behind when it comes to forward thinking and innovation is scary considering a million-plus people are expected to join us in the next 15-20 years. This needs to change. JOHN MORGAN Burnsville

widespread contamination to warrant evidence be suppressed. She ruled the testimony proved the possibility of contamination rather than the actual presence of contamination. “The state has met its burden at this stage of the proceedings and any issues regarding contamination go to the weight of the evidence rather than to the admissibility,” Messerich wrote. Traub said she was disappointed by the ruling but said the most important result of the hearing was that the lab’s poor testing practices were revealed and the lab has been shut down. “Public defenders exposed the St. Paul crime lab’s lack of training and shoddy work practices,” Traub said. The court ruling allows the three remaining defendants involved in the hearing to raise the contamination issue as their cases proceed through court. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said he is pleased with Messerich’s decision. “It is our intent to proceed with these and any remaining cases where the results of retesting performed by the BCA lab have confirmed the results of previous testing performed by the crime lab,” he said in a statement.
Dakota County Judge Kathryn Messerich has ruled drug evidence previously tested by the embattled St. Paul Crime Lab can be used in court. Public defender Lauri Traub had argued during the 11-month hearing that the evidence in multiple drug cases included in the hearing was unreliable, possibly contaminated because of the significant issues discovered with the lab’s processes, training and equipment maintenance. St. Paul Police Department crime lab employee testimony revealed numerous problems with lab operations, including under-trained workers, evidence security problems, improper testing methods, and testing equipment that was not adequately cleaned, maintained or tested. The lab also lacked a written protocol or didn’t hold to consistent standards. At the hearing’s start, the lab’s director resigned; and all testing was halted. An initial plan to address issues and bring the lab up to certification standards was abandoned; the lab has since been shut down, and all drug testing is being handled by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Messerich found in the three cases included in Laura Adelmann is at laura. the hearing that there was adelmann@ecm-inc.com. insufficient evidence of
Police say a Rosemount man was in possession of a backpack full of burglary tools when he was taken into custody last week by officers who tracked down a stolen vehicle. Apple Valley police located 30-year-old Kevin R. Hlavka sitting in the driver’s seat of the stolen car the night of Thursday, June 6, according to the criminal complaint. Hlavka was booked into the Dakota County Jail and charged with
theft and possession of burglary tools, both felonies, as well as tampering with a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor. The criminal complaint gives the following account: Police were summoned just after 7 p.m. June 6 on a report of a man pulling the door handles of cars parked near the Subway restaurant located at 5480 W. 141st St. in Apple Valley. The witness also reported seeing the person get into a car parked be-
State funding increases provides relief for District 196 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Ro s e m o u n t - A p p l e Valley-Eagan School officials believe they can maintain a balanced budget in 2013-14 without making cuts. “This will mark our second year with no budget adjustments,” said Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196. The district had faced deep cuts in 2011 and in prior years. The District 196 School Board is considering a proposed preliminary 2013-14 budget of $379.9 million, which is about $6 million ahead of previous predictions. Solomon credits the higher projections to increased state aid payments and the state’s recent attempts to repay deferred aid payments. Last session, the Leg-
islature added $485 million to its E-12 education budget, which included a 1.5 percent increase to the basic per pupil formula in 2013-14. This translates to an additional $2.4 million for District 196 in 201314. In previous budget calculations, district officials predicted a 1 percent increase in state aid. District 196’s preliminary general fund budget is projected at $293.1 million and is expected to incur a loss of $17.3 million. “We can’t continue this trend of deficits,” School Board Member Rob Duchscher said. The district plans to absolve the deficit by borrowing from its general fund balance. After covering the deficit, the general fund balance will be $21.04 million, which

is 6.78 percent of the general fund. Board policy requires a fund balance that is at least 5 percent of the general fund. The district relies heavily on state aid, which accounts for nearly 76 percent of its budget. In addition to boosting state aid payment, the Legislature approved increases in other areas of education funding. Early Childhood Education will receive a $40 million increase in 2013-14 for scholarships for lowincome families and allday kindergarten will receive a $3 million increase in 2015-16. The increase in all-day kindergarten funding may enable District 196 to reduce its fees for the program. The Legislature also restored integration funding and promised to better fund special education. Two new pieces of legislation provide school boards with more control over the district’s levy dollars. One law will enable school boards (instead of voters) to approve the first $300 per pupil of a levy referendum. The state also promises to cover this cost instead of taxpayers. This will allow District 196 to maintain the first $300 per pupil of its levy referendum and will enable school districts that don’t have voter approved levies to obtain those dol-
lars. The legislation places districts on a more equal playing field by putting less pressure on property tax wealth in a community, Solomon said. The second piece of legislation passed last session allows metro school districts to convert its levy referendum’s first $424 per pupil into another levy called a location equity levy. Upon placing the money into a location equity levy, for instance, District 196’s levy referendum on paper would drop from $1,042 per pupil to $618 per pupil. With the state cap at $1,666 per pupil, the district could ask voters to raise the levy referendum. The purpose of the location equity levy is to curb the cost of living in the Twin Cities area, Solomon said. At the moment, it is unclear whether school districts can access both types of relief or chose one, Solomon said. The District 196 School Board is expected to vote on the preliminary budget on June 24. All Minnesota school districts are required by the state to approve their budgets by June 30.

Red Line to offer free rides Apple Valley, Eagan events will usher in Cedar Avenue bus rapid transit Dakota County residents who want to try out the new bus rapid transit service from Apple Valley to the Mall of America can do so from June 2230. The first day of Metro Transit’s Red Line service will begin Saturday, June 22, with special events and free rides. The Apple Valley Transit Station (155th and Cedar Avenue) will be the site of a celebratory event with local elected officials and project partners. The public is invited to participate in activities at the Apple Valley and Cedar Grove/Eagan (on Nicols Road, north of Diffley) stations from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Minnesota Zoo will have special activities/prizes for youths at the Cedar Grove Station, and families can enter to win tickets to the zoo. People will be able to meet TC Bear from the Minnesota Twins at the Apple Valley station from 1-3 p.m. Additional activities,
including music, food, and items provided by area businesses will be added to the agenda in the coming weeks. Rides on the Red Line will be free from the first trip on June 22 until the last trip on June 30. In addition, rides on the following MVTA routes will be free from June 22 to June 30: 420, 438, 440, 442, 444, 445. The Red Line, which will have buses running like trains without the tracks, will begin serving its five station stops along the 11-mile route on Cedar Avenue in an effort to give current bus riders another option and encourage more commuters to start riding buses instead of crossing the Minnesota River with the other 90,000 motorists daily who make the north or south trip in a car. Planners are hoping the Red Line’s noschedule-needed convenience and its 30-minute trip time are attractive enough to help reduce traffic congestion on the heavily traveled Cedar
Avenue. The Red Line will provide station-to-station service from the Apple Valley Transit Station to the Mall of America, with additional stops at 147th Street and 140th Street in Apple Valley, and the Cedar Grove station in Eagan. The Red Line is the second in the region’s Metro system, connecting with the Metro Blue Line (Hiawatha Light Rail Transit) at the Mall of America. The Red Line will travel on new bus-only shoulder lanes along Cedar Avenue and Highway 77. Buses will operate every 15 minutes during peak travel periods, from approximately 5 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to midnight, Saturday and Sunday. Buses will serve each station with level boarding and real-time signs. For more information, visit www.metrotransit. org/metro-red-line. —Tad Johnson

at debate camps in Michigan and Georgetown. He’s completed in Maryland, Texas, Iowa, Alabama and Illinois. He joined with hopes of building his resume, and he says he’s always been an argumentative person. “After being in a debate a few months in Student Congress and National Forensic League, it made me a competitive person, and I found I was pretty good at it,” Just said. “Getting to the NFL three times has been really special.” Last year he was named All-American, meaning he was ranked in the top 100 in the United States. Another crowning achievement was when he picked up 15-of-16 ballots at a tournament in Baltimore, Md., at the National Catholic Forensics League tournament last year. “That’s almost unheard of,” Just said. He didn’t get to this point overnight. He may have a natural gift for discussion, but he’s also a little obsessed. “I think there’s an assumption debate isn’t very involved,” Just said. “It’s really a year-round activity.
It’s more intense than any other sport. There’s nights upon nights researching and speaking. It’s impossible to get worse. I was just overly involved; that’s the best way to put it. You really have to be dedicated. It’s been my life for the past four years. Almost every weekend I spent at a high school or college for a tournament.” This weekend in Alabama, Jest and Hanson will be debating both sides of one topic: “Resolved: That the federal government should substantially increase its transportation infrastructure investment in the United States.”. “We advocate updates in the technology in airplanes and towers to be more efficient, more advanced radar and better communication,” Just said. “You should be able to get more flights in the air and land planes faster.” They advocate when on the affirmative, while the negative will argue against it by calling out disadvantages and proposing alternatives. “That’s where the research comes in to answer for all these viewpoints and
prepare for alternative proposals and counter disadvantages,” Just said. Just will often have to debate ideas he doesn’t personally believe in. “It really opens up a person’s eyes about a certain subject,” Just said. “I learn a lot about the world around me.” Their opponents have advocated increasing port security, road infrastructure, bike use and electric cars. “You never know who is waiting,” Just said. “Each judge wants to hear something different. Having a winning rebuttal is the secret to winning any debate. Three or four words can win it.” His official debating career will come to an end next week. Next fall he plans on attending the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. “There’s not speech or debate at Saint Thomas,” Just said. “I plan on involving myself in student government and mock trial teams. It will be nice to have a break. I’ve been so heavily involved. These have been some of the greatest moments of my
life, and it’s opened doors for me.” He plans to study supply chain and operations management along with international business. He’s thankful for his time in Rosemount. “We have low enrollment rates in forensics, and not a lot of people know what it is,” Just said. “But we’re very competitive with the bigger teams from Apple Valley, Eagan and Eastview. (Coach) Cort Sylvester has done really amazing things with the program.” The duo is the seventh policy debate team from Rosemount to qualify for nationals. It’s the second straight year for their policy teams, fourth straight year someone from Rosemount will attend nationals in at least one of the events, and the 21st time someone from Rosemount will be at the NFL Nationals. “We always consider it a real honor to qualify for nationals, because the local competition (the southern Minnesota district) is intense,” Sylvester said.

Board of Education case. Primary resources from the Library of Congress can stimulate inquiry-based learning in the school. Carlson cannot wait to incorporate these new resources in her classroom so students can be more engaged. She plans to promote active thinking using actual documents from history as a means to analyze an idea and improve reading abilities. As the school librarian, Larson can use the Library of Congress’ databases to help students with research essays and papers. “Students can learn how to navigate databases with these primary sources. We can enhance units with real life stuff,” Larson said. Larson hopes that the program will also provide insight into new methods of teaching literacy to students. Giving students access to primary resources can provide them with the freedom and ability to analyze subjects in their own way. “It is giving them more responsibility to do their
own thinking,” she said. The Library of Congress’ primary resources are not just an aid to librarians and civics teachers, but to all educators. After returning from the program, Larson and Carlson intend to encourage their colleagues’ development and adaptation to new technological resources. They will share their knowledge through the Q-Comp program at Farmington High School. The Farmington QComp program was approved in 2006 as a way to improve student reading across the district through peer-to-peer staff development. Armed with an arsenal of new instructor tools, Farmington teachers will work to improve student literacy. Teacher self-development, an improved use of technology, and student independence all tie in neatly to the Farmington district’s vision. Farmington has increasingly focused on customized learning through technology in order to improve
student literacy. Carlson said that primary resources promote the district’s value of selfdirected learning. “The responsibility is more on the student,” she said. “And that’s how it should be. Kids become active thinkers. I’m not just spoon-feeding them material.” The goal is to have students analyze a topic from several different angles and view subjects in a nonbiased manner. This level of autonomy can provide students with the necessary skills for post-secondary life in work and college. Larson, who has spent 10 years as a Farmington educator, is elated to experience the Library of Congress’ reservoir of knowledge. Carlson is excited for yet another trip to Washington, D.C. This time, Carlson will step out of her place as the field trip teacher and into the shoes of a student.
such as original documents and objects, in order to apply them to their hometown classrooms. With access to the Library’s database, Carlson plans to make learning material become alive and vibrant. “Many kids are visual learners, and the Library of Congress has a lot of visual aspects,” Carlson said. “Students really respond to those.” With this new technological resource, teachers can provide students with a fresh look on old material. Carlson will use original documents to supplement the students’ civics studies. Students will be able to view Martin Luther King Jr.’s hand-written speech or original black and white photos from the Brown vs.

Sports Rosemount’s Schow announces arrival with two victories Irish sophomore wins two hurdles races at state by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
For any athletes who are tuning out their coaches, Rachel Schow is an example of why that might not be a good idea. It was at her coaches’ suggestion that Schow, a Rosemount High School sophomore, try hurdles races. On Saturday, she was having her photo taken with two first-place medals around her neck. “I never actually started hurdling until May of last year before the big meets,” Schow said. “I wasn’t convinced, but my coach said, ‘Let’s just try it.’ It ended up being the race for me.” She won the 100-meter hurdles at the state Class AA girls meet in a photo finish. Schow’s time was 14.60 seconds, while Lakeville North sophomore Michaela Preachuk finished in 14.61. Later in the morning at Hamline University, Schow won the 300 hurdles in 43.89, beating defending champion Meleah

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) Biermaier of Thief River Falls in the process. “I couldn’t even think about winning one of them. This is completely crazy,” Schow said. “This is my third state meet. I’ve been more nervous in the past. I thought, I’ve got to go out there and do it, and
whatever happens, happens.” As an eighth-grader, Schow ran on a Rosemount 4x400 relay that finished second at state. Last year, despite having limited hurdles experience, she qualified for state in the 100-meter race and
finished sixth. Still, she described herself as someone looking for a niche. Initially, she wasn’t sure it was hurdles. “The first couple of times, I was absolutely awful,” she said. “Then things Rosemount junior Grant Jackson finished seventh in the boys 200-meter dash at the state Class AA meet.

Tiger girls 4x400 relay brings home the silver Girls notch highest finish for a relay in school history by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Farmington girls track and field team has had its ups and downs this season with injuries and snow covered tracks. But the girls went out with a bang in the last event possible of the 2013 season. The 4x400-meter relay finished in second place at the Class AA state meet last weekend at Hamline University in St. Paul. It was the highest finish at state of any Farmington girls relay in school history. Maria Kiminski, Alicia Hett, Megan Graham and Isabelle Ferm completed the race in 3 minutes, 55.73 seconds, less than two seconds behind the winners from Minnetonka. The four girls were also more than five seconds faster than their preliminary time. “It’s pretty crazy,”

We just knew this would be our last race of the season.”
The Tigers were seeded eighth, so they really had nothing to lose. “When it was over, I was just like ‘what?’ ” Ferm said. “The other girls ran
so fast. I just wanted to finish strong.” The 4x400 relay has had success for the Tigers in recent years. Last year, Hett, Graham and Ferm
along with alumna Alyssa Parco finished sixth in 4:00.28 while Kiminski was dealing with an injury. In 2011, Ferm, Kiminski, Parco and Erin Hickey
placed fourth at state, running in 3:54.51. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
All three Tiger relays for boys track finish all-state The 4x800-meter relay has best finish coming in fifth by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
It’s been a team effort all season for the Farmington boys track and field members, and they proved it once again at the Class AA state meet at Hamline University in St. Paul last weekend. The Tigers had three relays finish in the top nine. “We don’t have the dominant runners yet, but we have many talented runners,” head coach Brian Helmstetter said. “Our 4x200 and 4x400 don’t have a stronger or weaker leg.

Two and out for Farmington softball at state State tournament unfruitful for Tigers by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Farmington softball team made its second-straight trip to the Class AAA state softball tournament on Thursday. Unfortunately, the results were about the same as last year. The Tigers went 0-2 losing to Forest Lake 3-1 in the first round, then falling to Orono 2-0 in the consolation semifinal
IRISH, from 11A clicked in one race and I started running way faster. I saw it was my forte.” She didn’t even attempt the 300 hurdles until this season. “I used to run the 400 (dash),” she said. “We had a senior who ran the 300 (hurdles) last year and we decided, let’s try it out. It was just the last couple of meets I really started working hard at it. “I used to be a sprinter, so I have the foot speed for it. Even if I did mess up – and I ended up tripping (in the state 300 final) – you can still make it up. In the 100, you either get the rhythm or you don’t.” She swept the 100 and 300 hurdles races at the South Suburban Conference and Section 3AA meets, meaning she had plenty of confidence going into state. Schow credited her gymnastics training – she also competes in that sport at Rosemount – with helping her recover after hitting a hurdle in the 300 final. “I hit my knee pretty darn hard. It definitely knocked me off balance,” she said. This season’s success has Schow reevaluating her track and field future. She said she will put in more time on that sport during the summer. She realizes there will be some
in North Mankato on June 6. Farmington’s defense and pitching kept the Tigers in the game against Orono. Pitcher Ashley Betzold allowed two runs off seven hits and one walk. She struck out three while the defense was error free. The trouble came at the plate where Orono’s pitcher Anna Bergh kept the Tigers from roaring with 13 strikeouts. The closest Farmington got to home came in the fourth inning thanks to Molly Berdan
and Amber Boyle singles. But when the inning was over, Berdan was stuck on third. Betzold singled to left field in the sixth inning, but another Bergh strikeout left Betzold hanging. In the opening-round 3-1 loss to Forest Lake, Farmington got into trouble in the second inning, giving up two runs off four hits, but it could have been worse. With the bases loaded, Tiger pitcher Betzold forced Alexa Bremer to strike out swinging. Taylor Shortly added another run for Forest Lake in the
fourth with a home run. Down 3-0, the Tigers finally got on the board in the sixth. A Betzold double with two outs set the stage while a Doyle walk and a Toni Hunsinger single loaded the bases. Savannah Greaves, who was pinch running for Betzold, scored on a passed ball, but that was it. In the seventh inning, the Tigers kept it interesting. Jordyn Keprios singled and Erin Berdan walked, and Keprios advanced to third, but never got home. The Tigers left seven run-

Two medals for Otterdahl
TIGERS, from 11A
Rosemount’s Payton Otterdahl was a double medalist at the state boys track and field meet, finishing second in the shot put and third in the discus. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) in the discus. Anthony Tyler (160-3) of Forest Lake and Ian Collins (158-6) of Edina were first and second. Otterdahl was the No. 2 seed in the discus behind Krynski, who finished 12th. Grant Jackson, a junior, also scored for the Rosemount boys at the
state meet, taking seventh in the 200 dash in 22.37. Rosemount, the South Suburban Conference champion, scored 21 points at state and finished 18th. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.
The four set a new school record in the preliminaries with a time of 3:22.25, but in the finals “they looked awfully tired,” Helmstetter said. “They were a little beat up from the previous races in the day.” Hyytinen had ran his own race placing 14th in the 1,600. “He ran well and has a new focus over summer, which is picking up his mileage and getting himself focused and ready for cross country,” Helmstetter said.
ken and Justin Hyytinen placed fifth with a time of 7 minutes, 57.89 seconds, which shattered a school record. The 4x200 relay also finished the race on the podium nabbing seventh. Mason Auge, Ryan Parco, Thomas Weigel and Tanner Grubb passed the baton around in 1:30.43, about four seconds behind the group from Wayzata, which set a new all-time Minnesota record.

pressure associated with being a defending state champion next spring, but said she will concentrate mainly on improving her times in both races. And there is room for improvement, she added. “Hurdling is all about technique and nobody in high school has perfect technique,” Schow said. Rosemount tied for 10th place in the state Class AA girls team standings, with Schow providing 24 of the Irish’s 27 points. Also scoring at state was senior Katie Duff, who finished seventh in the discus with a throw of 124 feet, 11 inches.
A glance at the Minnesota high school track and field honor roll suggested that Rosemount’s Payton Otterdahl was one of the best shot put and discus throwers in the state. His performance at the Class AA boys meet last weekend confirmed it. After finishing second in the shot put Friday, the Rosemount junior came back Saturday and placed third in the discus. His best effort in the shot was 561.75, beating his seeding throw by more than a foot. Lakeville North senior Benjamin Krynski threw 57-0 to win the event. Otterdahl threw 158-2
ners on base. Betzold allowed three runs off eight hits and no walks in six innings. She had three strikeouts. Forest Lake finished third at state. In 2012, Farmington lost to the eventual state champions Stillwater in the quarterfinal 11-0 and lost to Bloomington Jefferson 4-3 in extra innings in the consolation semifinals. The Tigers finished with a 20-7 record.
