Driver who crashed into Celts has DUI history Blood tests will take weeks to complete by Tad Johnson and Laura Adelmann
ROSEMOUNT
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Five people were injured when a vehicle crashed into the building and window at Celts Bar & Grill in Rosemount at about 8 p.m. Saturday, June 12, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Leann Rolf, 50, of Rosemount failed to stop at a stop sign posted due to road construction at the intersection of Highway 3 and 145th Street, then drove into the building while traveling south on Highway 3.
Investigators are looking into if Rolf was illegally impaired while driving, according to the State Patrol. State Patrol spokesman Lt. Eric Roeske said test results aren’t expected for several weeks, because the lab has to test for many different substances. Roeske added that when police searched the vehicle Rolf was driving, which is Photo by Tad Johnson registered in the name of The window at Celts Pub in downtown Rosemount was boarded up the day after a car crashed into the building. The See Crash, 4A intersection of 145th Street and Highway 3 is currently undergoing repair.
Relay planning sprints toward the finish District 196 may Event returns to Rosemount High School’s Irish Stadium
seek levy in fall
by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
As planning for the Rosemount Relay For Life sprints into its final leg, there is still time for participants and teams to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. The Rosemount event will start at 6 p.m. Friday, June 25, and carry on until the next morning when the sun will begin to shine on the horizon at the Rosemount High School Irish Stadium. The 2010 Relay marks the return of the event to the school’s track after it was held the past two years at Central Park while the stadium underwent some renovation. “The setting provides an easy way to manage the crowd at the high school,� said Nancy Kelly, chairwoman of the event’s committee. She said there is lots of excitement over the move back to the Irish Stadium. Kelly said the venue has a better walking path and helps the participants feel more close-knit because of the centralized nature of the activity. For the event, teams of eight to 15 people walk around the track through the night until morning. They raise money primarily by selling luminaria bags that are decorated in honor or in memory of those who

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will consider whether to seek a levy this fall to help cover projected state funding shortfalls for the 2011-12 school year. The School Board is expected to discuss the issue at a July 12 retreat. “We’re looking this far ahead because we know things are going to continue to be more difficult for schools, so we need to make decisions about local funding opportunities,� said Finance Director Jeff Solomon. With state budget projections estimating a $6 billion deficit next year, district officials are not optimistic about the amount of funding that will be available for education. The $6 billion represents nearly 20 percent of the state’s total budget, and education funding makes up about 40 percent of the state’s budget, according to the district. The board recently asked staff to prepare three possible funding scenarios that include a 5 percent cut in state funding, a 7.5 percent cut, and a 10 percent cut. A 5 percent reduction would require the district to reduce its budget by
DISTRICT 196 $20 million. A 10 percent reduction would require a $27.1 million reduction to the district budget. A levy could bring additional funding, but it still likely wouldn’t be enough to avoid cuts, Solomon said. “If we were to move forward with the referendum and it was successful, we would still have to do some level of reductions in all scenarios,� he said. The district currently receives $1,042 per pupil from a levy approved by voters in 2005. A state levy cap dictates the district could only levy an additional $525 per pupil. That would mean an extra $15.5 million per year for the district, which is not enough to overcome even the most optimistic of the three scenarios, Solomon said. District 196 gets the majority of its funding – about 73 percent – from the state. The district’s total budget for the current school year is $298 million. The school board must notify the state by Aug. 20 if it’s planning to put a levy on the November ballot. Erin Johnson is at eagan. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount University of Minnesota’s ancillary City water fees increase buffered use proposal gets chilly reception by alert townhome association Plan would add industrial use, few jobs at UMore by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Mining gravel isn’t the only activity University of Minnesota officials hope to accomplish on its UMore property. A new proposal is for eight industrial ancillary operations to occur on 188 acres near the western third of the property where aggregate mining is planned. The ancillary operations are aggregate processing, office, a recycling yard, an asphalt plant, a concrete plant, a bag plant, a maintenance facility and a casting yard. In a special June 15 work session, Rosemount City Council members expressed frustration about the proposal, which they said will likely affect the timing and future development of the promised sustainable community proposed to eventually be built on the property. Rosemount Senior Planner Eric Zweber said the university gradually revealed its plans for ancillary uses during discussions with city officials. “They hadn’t said much about this besides the asphalt plant, but the last few (meetings) we’ve been pressing them, and the uses they’ve been proposing have increased in number and in size,� he said, adding, “I think we need
to decide if we are moving forward with the expectation that this 188 acres is going to be, essentially, an industrial park in UMore in the middle of Rosemount.â€? Council Member Kim Shoe-Corrigan emphasized Rosemount’s need for tax-paying businesses and added the city already has its share of industrial production underway.

Residents can expect higher water bills with tiered rates by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Paying attention to city notices can prove a moneysaving endeavor. Rosemount City Council members on Tuesday approved reducing a new tiered water rate system after a townhome association complained the new structure would more than double its water bill. According to Crosscroft Townhome Association, the city’s original water fee increase, passed in December, would have propelled its annual irrigation water fees from $15,000 to $39,000, more than doubling previous bills. During a June 10 city council work session, Rosemount City Engineer Andrew Brotzler said no unit is considered an individual residence, but instead shares five meters to water common areas. “It doesn’t take long for them to get to the top tier and pay the top rate (of $2.75 per 1,000 gallons),� Brotzler said. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste added, “It’s all common areas, so it’s a monumental problem for them.� Droste urged support for staff’s proposal to reduce the top tier rate to $2 per 1,000 gallons to help ensure the system treats all properties as fairly and equitably as possible. Brotzler said the change
“I think it’s an extraordinary amount of water they put down, and they’re trying to get us to accommodate them so they don’t have to change watering habits,� he said. Brotzler said the association is increasing owners’ fees to cover the anticipated increase in its water bills to about $30,000 as a result of the tiered system. “As staff, we do applaud them for at least taking that information and calculating the impact,� Brotzler said. At the June 15 city council meeting, the change was passed without further discussion. As a result of the tiered system, Rosemount residents should expect higher fees to show up on the July and August water bills. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
ing. Stygar worked for five years with Delta, most recently as a line mechanic, according to a StarTribune report. The report also said that Stygar’s wife, Laura Stygar, died in June 2008 at age 44. The Stygars have a 12-year-old son. In a statement issued through Delta to the media, Stygar’s family said he “loved life and most of all his son, Joey. Jesse was a hard worker but also loved traveling, the outdoors and most of all fishing, which he did often with Joey. “Anyone that crossed his
path knew he had a huge heart and gave everything he could. Jesse served in the military and kept that love of our country alive. He will be greatly missed.� An investigation into the cause of the death is ongoing. Anthony Black, a spokesman for Delta Air Lines, released the following written statement to the media: “We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends and offer our full support to them and our people in Minneapolis,� Black said. —Tad Johnson

Irrigation is a major driver of higher water bills. would essentially establish a flat rate for all irrigation usage, making it the highest rate the city has, while still meeting the spirit of the Department of Natural Resources requirement that cities adopt a tiered system to encourage water conservation. However, Brotzler noted that Crosscroft’s irrigation usage of about 750,000 gallons per acre is more than the city uses for its parks, at 483,000 gallons per acre. Council Members Kim Shoe-Corrigan and Jeff Weisensel questioned whether changes should be made. Shoe-Corrigan said the city’s purpose of the tiered rate is to get residents to stop dumping water on their lawns. Weisensel questioned why the city would change the rate structure.

live with his exuberant Auntie Mame and meets many of her wealthy friends. Unser, a husband and father of two, plays the role of Mame’s boyfriend, Beauregard Burnside. He said the show is already funny, but the jokes are multiplied because a male actor, Kevin Hanson, is playing the role of Mame. “It’s really funny actually,� he said. “It just adds a twist (to all the jokes).� While Unser said he considers acting more of a hobby than a career, he has been working in theater since he
was 6 months old. “My mom was a drama teacher. ‌ I played the baby in ‘Carousel,’ â€? he said. His future plans include staying in local theater parttime and focusing on his family and job as senior producer of Twin Cities Live television show. In contrast to Unser’s single role, Newman plays different characters in every scene of Mame, including a party guest, a delivery person and a roommate. “The important thing is creating a difference between all the different characters I
play and making sure they are not the same person each time I walk on stage,� he said. Newman plans to stay in the Twin Cities and pursue acting full time. “It’s got such a rich and vibrant arts community here. There are many opportunities to do theater here that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to find someplace else,� he said. Tickets are $25 to $28 and can be ordered online at aboutmmt.org.

Park-and-ride may move near City Hall
Met Council agrees to pay local match for federal funds by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The temporary Rosemount Community Center park-and-ride location could be moved as early as next year near City Hall if a series of actions fall in the city’s favor. Rosemount and the Minnesota Valley Transit Association are in line to receive a $2.3 million federal grant, which they could pay matching funds for and be reimbursed by the Metropolitan Council in 2013. The timing of the payment and reimbursement depends on other projects in line ahead of Rosemount’s park-and-ride. The Metropolitan Council has indicated it
will allow the city and MVTA to pre-pay the required $596,519 match, then be paid back in 2013, when the council has budgeted for the expenditure. The city and MVTA may be able to avoid advance-funding the project if another project funded through the same federal grant is unable to meet deadlines. In that event, the Met Council would pay the matching amount right away to move the parkand-ride. In a June 9 executive summary to City Council members, Rosemount City Administrator Dwight Johnson said the latter possibility is a reasonably likely scenario
if Rosemount’s project is ready by next March, and recommended the city begin engineering plans. “Their experience is that other projects do slip in their schedule and it would be helpful to them to have a project ready to move up,� Johnson stated. The federal grant request is $2,386,077 with an additional local match of $596,519. The parkand-ride facility is estimated to cost $917,000. The additional funds would be used for acquiring buses and the first three years of operating subsidies which won’t be available until 2013.

Chris, who works for Kaplan Professional Schools in St. Paul, says her team members should be easy to spot on Relay day as they will be wearing green Tshirts from her father’s company – Daisy Construction. “We all want to do something positive to battle this,� she said. This year’s Relay will include an opening ceremony at 6 p.m. followed by the cancer Survivor Lap. Later in the evening, there will be a Luminaria Lap and a short ceremony at about 10 p.m. A closing ceremony is slated at 6 a.m. June 26. The last time the relay
was held at the high school, the event raised an estimated $68,000. The total has been less in the past two years, but organizers hope returning to the school will re-energize participants. To date, 22 teams have signed up, including 146 participants. There were 45 teams in 2007. Organizers are still accepting donations from individuals or businesses of items that can be included in the silent auction. Donations of food, drinks or other items that can help on the day of the event are also welcome. Tad Johnson is at editor. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Arts council, parks department organize first photo contest, calendar project; voting to be during Leprechaun Days by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Rosemount shutterbugs should mark July 15 on their calendars this year, and next year they might be noting the days on a calendar containing their photos. The date is the deadline for the first Rosemount Area Arts Council and Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department Photo Contest, which will generate the images needed for a 2011 calendar. The idea for the contest and calendar was generated as the council sought to plan an event in conjunction with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Bluegrass Festival Weekend during Rosemount Leprechaun Days. The group considered a writing or poetry contest, but landed instead on a photo contest to gain broader participation. John Loch, arts council member, said it was a natural to turn the contest entrantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work into a calendar that can also promote the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission and events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to find a low-cost way to spread what we are trying to do with the council,â&#x20AC;? Loch said. The council is partnering with Thisweek Newspapers to produce the calendar. Local businesses and individuals can get in on the act by purchasing sponsorship spots in the calendar and becoming a distribution point. At least 12 of the photos entered in the contest will be printed in the art councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first calendar. Loch said the contest should appeal to a wide range of people since so many have become expert photographers with the advent of digital cameras.
Alyce Pederson, who has driven and worked as a bus aide on school buses in Burnsville since 1976, retired from her career at First Student Transportation on June 10. During her years of employment at the bus company, which has changed names from KAL to Ryder to First Student, Pederson drove large buses, small buses and vans, and transported many of Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special education students to and from their schools. The Rosemount resident said she also enjoyed transporting students on field trips and special events. After 34 years of rising before dawn, she will finally be able to sleep in past 4:30 a.m. She and her husband,

for entries of Rosemount scenes to reflect all the seasons. Entries will be divided into four categories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ages 17 and under, 18-59, 60 and over and Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice. Photos will be judged by a three-member panel in the age categories, while the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice award will be determined during a new Rosemount Leprechaun Days event Saturday, July 31. The arts council will have its first Photo Exhibit of contest entries from 1-4 p.m. at The Steeple Center (the former St. Joseph Church) where people can vote for their favorite photos. In all categories, there will be prizes awarded for first through third places and honorable mention. People can enter up to three photos, which must be submitted at 8-by-10 inch dimension and be mounted on foam board. Entries can be dropped off at the Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department office in the lower level of the Rosemount Community Center and National Guard Armory from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The photos should include the entrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, address, phone number, date, location and identification of people in the photo if applicable.

The contest aims to get some of the many creative, talented people in Ro s e m o u n t some exposure through photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope people start looking at their neighborhood, downtown and excellent parks,â&#x20AC;? Loch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they do, they will start seeing things in a whole different way.â&#x20AC;? The arts councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort with the photo contest to bring hidden talent out into the open is something it hopes to do with other artistic endeavors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should not have to travel to Minneapolis to enjoy the arts,â&#x20AC;?

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Are you finding information you want about District 196 schools? by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Would you be content if people described you just by giving your height or weight? Probably not. There’s much more to know about you than a couple of numbers, like: Are you married? What are your hobbies? What are you really good at? Do you have youngsters? What’s your job? What is something you are proud of accomplishing? Are you a member of a religion, and if so, which one? Those are questions that give a fuller picture of each of us than a couple of numbers. As the school year ends, I’ve been thinking about how to describe schools and districts. What would you like to know
about School District 196 public schools? The district’s website is www.district196.org. The home page recently featured information about the district’s 18 elementary schools each earning Silver Awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Healthier School Challenge. Another part of the home page described district-owned assets that are being auctioned. There are links to videos of a variety of district activities, including graduations, an honor ceremony for people who retired, a winter concert, and other events. The website also has videos about Glacier Hills, Cedar Park and Diamond Path elementary schools. Contact information is provided for many people, starting
with the School Board members and the superintendent. There is a great deal of information about students, some of it comparing the district and the state. For example: • District 196 has about 23 percent students of color, compared to about 24 percent in the state. • The district has about 16 percent students receiving free/ reduced lunches, compared to 33 percent statewide. • The district has about 5 percent students for whom English is a second language, compared to about 8 percent statewide. On the website, the district compares its spending in various categories with other districts and the state average. A vast array of information is available about each school in the district. Teachers are listed, along
with their contact information. Some include biographical information about themselves. Some teachers have their own websites with detailed information about their classes. This brief description illustrates but certainly doesn’t include everything on the website. The Minnesota Department of Education website also provides information about your district and schools. If you go to http:// education.state.mn.us/ReportCard2005/index.do, and then to the section that lists districts alphabetically, there is a vast amount of information. MDE includes a description of the students by race, income level, percentage of students with special needs and students who don’t speak English as their first
language, percentage of students proficient in reading and math, and student-teacher ratios. There’s also a section on the Minnesota Department of Education website showing how your district compares to other districts on total costs, as well as individual items like administration and community education. Some of this information is gathered and reported because of federal requirements. But I’m wondering – what information are you looking for? Are you finding it? Please let me know.

Letters Letter writer’s logic is flawed To the editor: While the paper cited by letter writer Carol Cooper, “Do Powerful Politicians Cause Corporate Downsizing?” shows that capital expenditures and employment in the private sector decrease if a state is provided earmarked dollars, it does not show the opposite. One cannot assume, based on the Harvard paper, that states that do not receive earmarked funds will affect the private sector positively. There is no data in the Harvard paper that shows private sector capital expenditure and employment increases with a decrease in earmarked spending to the state. Ms. Cooper’s logic is flawed and is not based on this paper at all. Also the word “shock” in the paper means a sudden influx of dollars. The authors were certainly not “shocked” as Ms. Cooper maintains. It is interesting that the only mention of Minnesota is in Table II of the paper, and that U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, is not even mentioned. Minnesota was not even included in the study. MERTON A. HORNE Apple Valley
Protect ash trees
definitely look a lot different without them, not to mention the value trees add to real estate. You can identify an ash tree because it has multiple diamond-shaped leaves that come out of one line. Please consider protecting your tree with an insecticide treatment or having a professional service come and take a look. It’s the right thing to do for our community. DAVE PROUTY Lakeville
Sterner is friendly to businesses To the editor: I’d like to extend a big thank you to state Rep. Phil Sterner, DFL-Rosemount, for his work to make Minnesota a more business-friendly state. Sterner teamed with both parties and authored a new law that provides an incentive to private investors to leverage the capital needed to spur entrepreneurs and the expansion of business. It will increase research and development jobs throughout the state, and is projected to bring more than 10,000 jobs to our state. Supported by Democrats and Republicans, the bill passed the House by a vote of 112-20 and was signed into law by the governor, due in no small part to Sterner’s efforts. The best way to bring Minnesota back from this recession and address our budget problems is to create and protect jobs. That was Sterner’s priority this session and he was right on track. It’s also why he worked so hard and was successful in protecting businesses from tax increases this year. I thank Sterner for his bipartisan work to create jobs and resolve the budget deficit. It’s good to see this kind of cooperation from a state representative.
To the editor: I keep seeing news stories on how we are going to lose all of our ash trees to the emerald ash borer. Many people are unaware that they can do something about it. Citizens can take action to save their ash trees. If we don’t treat our ash trees, they will eventually die. As a real estate professional, I care deeply about this issue because about a quarter of our trees are ash trees. Many of the boulevard and city-planted trees are ash trees, and our lawns, neighborhood parks, and P. CHINEDU NWANERI commercial landscaping will Eagan
Sterner’s outreach speaks for itself To the editor: In the June 11 newspaper letter writer Heidi Payne questioned state Rep. Phil Sterner’s public “meet and greet” on the same day that his opponent’s workers were sticking pieces of paper in people’s doors. She somehow makes the questionable leap that shoving paper in doors is much more grassroots than actually visiting with residents. What? As for Sterner’s commitment and responsiveness to his district, one need only look at the tremendous outreach he has demonstrated to Apple Valley and Rosemount residents during his two years in office – he has simply been all over the place with town meetings, constituent coffee meetings, a Capitol open house, small business roundtable, Relay for Life teams, local event appearances, and meetings with hundreds of constituents in the district and in St. Paul. Not to mention his newsletters, legislative surveys, e-mail updates, session reports, phone calls, e-mails, faxes, and letters. I’ll take this one-on-one, personable approach to pulling a piece of paper out of my door. I would like to thank Sterner for staying in touch. BOB SMITHBURG Chair, DFL Senate District 37

abortion” leadership and branded House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher as an “abortion zealot.” Those are some pretty strong accusations that could only have been developed under the influence of unreasoned partisan rancor that may be celebrated on cable news but certainly contaminates the legislative process. Our moderate represen-
tative in District 37B, Phil Sterner, has proven to be above the partisan rhetoric by working across the aisle with Republican lawmakers to pass bipartisan legislation that benefits our community. It’s downright ridiculous to suggest that Sterner works with “pro-abortion zealots.” The poverty reducing policies that the DFL Par-
ty supports, and the early childhood education that Sterner fights for, demonstrates just how “pro-life” he and his DFL colleagues are. This “pro-life” 37B resident continues to support Sterner and the “pro-family,” “pro-environment,” “pro-education,” “projobs” DFL Party. ERIC JAYNE Apple Valley

Loss of state aid will hit some communities hard by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Metropolitan-area communities are learning to live with the continuing loss of state aid for local governments, but the loss of that aid is hitting the out-state smaller communities hard. The day may come when local community services will not be supported by either state or federal aid, and communities will have to find a new way to organize services and fund them through only fees and local property taxes. Chances are some state and federal aid will be available, but it’s time for community leaders to rethink how they can provide essential services with less money. Local government aid (LGA) is intended to help local communities fund basic services when they have a small tax base. It is based on criteria such as income, decline in population, age of housing, crime and even vehicle accidents. Nearly 100 communities in Minnesota do not qualify for state aid. With the state facing a structural budget deficit, ranging from $5 to $7 billion, chances are state aid to communities and counties will be cut more to prevent bigger cuts from school districts. People should pay attention to the political campaigns and what candidates for governor and the Legislature plan to do about keeping state aid for cities. This issue has a direct bearing on the future of communities, particularly smaller ones. According to a study by a group called Strong Towns, if state LGA and federal aid were suddenly taken away, many small towns probably could not survive because the impact of having to raise property taxes would be too hard to bear for home and business owners. Strong Towns is a Minnesota-based nonprofit led by Charles Marohn Jr.,who is an active Republican, and Jon Commers, who is active in the DFL party. The study ranks the worst (Landfall) in Ramsey County to the best scenario. Of
the 50 most vulnerable communities, all but two have populations under 1,000. Most Twin Cities suburbs surprisingly would do well, even if all state and federal aids were erased. This is because they have good tax bases, they already are budgeting revenues assuming no extra aids, and they no longer qualify for local government aid. Consider, however, smaller communities out state that do not have enough tax base and have dropping populations. For example, look at Eveleth, which ranks as the 11th most vulnerable in the study. If Eveleth had no federal and state aid, it would have to raise property taxes by $1,143 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house, and by $5,357 for the owner of a $250,000 home, to maintain current levels of service. Compare that to Milaca, which is ranked 450th of communities in Minnesota. If federal and state aids were discontinued, the owner of a $100,000 would have to pay $341 more a year; a $250,000 home, $853 more; and a $350,000 home $2,132 more, to maintain current levels of service. In Caledonia, which is ranked 325th in the study, the owner of a $100,000 house would have to pay $529 more; $250,000 house, $1,323 more; and $350,000 house, $3307 more, to maintain current levels of service. Now consider that commercial properties in these communities would be taxed twice the amount as residential. How to finance local city and county government will be a huge task in the next legislative session, and now is the time for people to weigh in on the importance of keeping some form of state aid for cities and counties.

County concerned about Met Council oversight by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Local officials are eager to meet with the state Legislative Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office regarding its investigation into transit governance. In a June 15 joint Minnesota Valley Transit Authority/Dakota County Board meeting, elected officials shared numerous concerns regarding the Metropolitan Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversight of transit funding and planning. Commissioner Will Branning said the Met Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control has grown over the years, and now local plans, funding and pro-
cedures must be approved by the regional agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we have subservient oversight going on,â&#x20AC;? he said of the local transit providers that opted to run their own transit services instead of Metro Transit, operated by the Met Council. He noted that the optouts were first legislatively allowed after it was learned that, for the price local communities were paying for Metro Transit services, riders could have been given chauffeured limo rides. County Commissioner Tom Egan said the Met Council has a cookie-cutter
approach to transit, but one size doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something unique, like BRT (bus rapid transit), you have to have the opt-outs and vehicles that look and act and operate differently than the conventional system,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste questioned why two different providers, MVTA and Metro Transit, are both operating transit services from the new Lakeville park and ride off of Interstate 35. Scott County Commissioner Jon Ulrich said the situation is an example of
Met Council inefficiencies, which the Legislative Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office intends to review. Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler said a key reason for the concerns is that the Met Council is only accountable to the governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no accountability with the Met Council, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key,â&#x20AC;? Schouweiler said. The board intends to set a meeting with the Legislative Auditor to further discuss concerns and provide input for its report, which is planned to be issued in early January.
Miscellaneous The South Suburban Chapter of Intl. Assoc. of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) will meet Tuesday, June 22, at Old Chicago Restaurant-The Cedar Room, on the corner of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42, Apple Valley.

represents a 22.4 percent decrease from last May. In fact, by year-to-date figures, there have been only 23 more pending sales so far this year compared to last. Like many regions across the country, there was an uptick in activity as the April 30 federal tax credit deadline approached. When the tax credit ended, buyers seem to have lost interest without the substantial incentive enticing them into the market. In terms of year-overyear comparisons, housing inventory remained fairly constant in the Twin Cit-
ies. The 26,412 active listings for May weighed in at just 1.0 percent under May of last year. The supplydemand ratio increased by 11.0 percent to 5.05. This means that there are about 5 homes available per buyer for June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is clear that the tax credit affected the timing of purchases, the amount of new business it stimulated is uncertain,â&#x20AC;? said MAAR president-elect Pat Paulson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another couple months in the books will further help to untangle post-tax-credit effects from broader market trends.â&#x20AC;?

Price gains overshadowed by lagging housing demand May of this year marks the first time since August of 2005 where the Twin Cities real estate market had five consecutive months of year-over-year median price increases. However, pending sales figures declined sharply in May. It is clear that the tax credit party is over and the hangover has truly set in. The May median sales price for the Twin Cities 13-county metropolitan area was $175,000, a 6.1 percent increase over last May, but the only segment of the market where prices actually increased was the lender-owned (foreclosure) submarket. Traditional and short sales both posted year-over-year price declines. New listings were down across the board; pending sales were down for every category except short sales â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which were up 28.4 percent over May of last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it was nice to see another month of median price gains, a decline in pending sales certainly casts a pall over any additional price increases,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Fisher, president of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rising prices and declining sales is a pattern that presumably cannot continue.â&#x20AC;?

Gina Singer and Linda Dolan have a unique way of collecting donations for the local food shelf: They throw a big party. The two neighbors in Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cedar Isle Estates neighborhood hosted a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carnival in their backyards June 11 that featured a cakewalk and scores of other games, cotton candy, face painting, live music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the works. Children and their parents were asked to bring donations for Our Daily Bread, the food shelf at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. The event drew about 280 children and their parents, and collected more than 1,100 pounds of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want people to know that they can come together and help others in their community,â&#x20AC;? said Dolan, who, like Singer, is a mother of four. This was the fifth year Singer and Dolan have hosted the charity carnival. The duo started planning in March, assembling a crew of 34 volunteers to work the food stations and game booths. They asked friends
Linda Dolan Gina Singer and neighbors to donate prizes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; used toys, surplus birthday party supplies and other items that might have gotten jettisoned during spring cleaning. Several local businesses pitched in with donations and manpower during the carnival. New this year was a photo station provided by The Wedding Booth, an Apple Valley-based business, allowing carnivalgoers to have their pictures taken to take home as a keepsake. Singer and Dolan got the word out about the carnival by having their children pass out invitations to their classes at school, and by distributing flyers in their neighborhood near Galaxie Avenue and 140th Street.

Eagle doubles duo takes home silver by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Apple Valley’s Joey MacGibbon and Matt Bettes finished second in the Class AA state doubles tournament on June 11. The duo lost to Marcel Gyswyt and Ryan Erickson from Hopkins in the championship match 6-3, 6-1. “I think it turned out really well,” MacGibbon said. “We made a good run. We progressed each match. We were happy with that, for sure. “It was a good way to end my six-year run with Apple Valley.” MacGibbon and Bettes knew what they were up against. The Hopkins players defeated Burnsville’s Mya Smith-Dennis and Nazhone Wilkins in the quarterfinals. Apple Valley lost to Burnsville’s doubles team in the Section 3AA finals. “Hopkins, they were just
too good,” MacGibbon said. “When we thought we had points they would keep going. “They got to the finals last year. They’re a really experienced team and we didn’t play as well as we did in the semifinals. ” MacGibbon and Bettes didn’t play much doubles during the regular season, but they thought their best chance at state was to combine forces. Through the section tournament and state, the two developed as the second-best doubles team in the state. “I think we just came together,” MacGibbon said. “We were in sync.” MacGibbon had played at state before in the singles tournament, but never in doubles. MacGibbon and Bettes defeated Eden Prairie’s Sam Doud and David Zhou in
the first round 6-4, 6-1. “We were nervous the first round,” MacGibbon said. “But we rolled through the second.” In the next round against Peter Stadum and Quinn Foley from Mahtomedi, Apple Valley lost the first set 5-7. “We knew we could beat them,” MacGibbon said. “We kept our heads up and got into a groove.” The two won the next two sets 6-4, 6-2. In the state semifinals, MacGibbon and Bettes defeated Rochester Mayo’s Thomas Nath and Alexander Olsen. “It was probably our best match we played,” MacGibbon said. “The chair umpire said we hit like 90 percent of our first serves.

Young Eagles fly to fifth by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The past two years the Apple Valley girls track team has featured young athletes rebuilding the program back up to one of the top teams in the state. They’re well on their way as the Eagles finished fifth in the Class AA state track and field meet on June 12. The girls team scored 37 points with a list of juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Taylor Browning had a memorable afternoon. She was the runner-up in the 200-meter dash. She ran the event in 25.10 seconds. Browning was also part the 4x100 relay, for which she also received a silver medal along with Jaryn Pipkins, Chanel Miller and Megan Maki. The girls brought the baton around the track in 48.01. Taylor was also fourth-best in the 100, running 12.36. Miller gave fans something to cheer about in the 300 hurdles. She finished fourth with a 44.95. She was also fifth in the 100 hurdles with a 14.81. Danielle Bolme left her mark in the triple jump, leaping 33 feet, 8.35 inches.
Rosemount No one pole vaulted better than Katie Murgic at the state tournament last week. Her jump of 12 feet was nine inches higher than anyone else. She also finished 15th in the 100. The senior will attend the
University of Minnesota next fall and bring her pole vaulting skills with her. Her teammate Shade Pratt also had plenty to cheer about over the weekend. She finished fourth in the 400 with a time of 56.23. She was also part of the 4x800 relay with Sara Feeser, Tori Grund and Laura Dennis that came in fifth. The girls circled the track eight times in 9:21.24. Thana Hussein joined Dennis, Grund and Pratt for the 4x400 relay. The four girls combined for a 3:59.60, which was the fifth best of the meet. Alyssa Temte had the fifth best triple jump at state with a leap of 36 feet, 2.5 inches. Add up all the points and Rosemount finished in eighth place – three points ahead of Eastview and half a point behind Mounds View.
Eastview Eastview’s Alex Beckman stood atop the podium for the triple jump last weekend. Her leap of 37 feet, 11.5 inches was the best in Minnesota. It was almost a foot farther than anyone else. That wasn’t her only event of the afternoon. She joined up with her sister Amanda and Paris Sanders and Mallory Burnham for the 4x100 relay. They were the defending state champions and ran faster this year. Unfortunately, so did three other relays, as the girls finished fourth. The girls

Alex Beckman also finished in sixth place in the 100 with a 12.38. Amanda Beckman got the team some points in the long jump with a leap of 17 feet, 9 inches, which put her at fourth. She was also 10th in the 200 with a time of 25.60. The Beckmans, along with Sanders and Claire Elliot, passed the baton around in the 4x200 relay. The girls were eighth across the finish line with a time of 1:42.64. Elliot ran to 12th in the 400 and Anne Ferguson was 10th in the 800. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
There are few teams out there with better jumpers than Eastview. At the state track and field meet at Hamline University in St. Paul last weekend, the Lightning proved it. The boys finished in fifth place and all of the team’s 33 points came from the long, high and triple jumps. Franky Veldman was part of all three. He took home a bronze medal based on his performance in the triple jump. His leap of 45 feet, 9.5 inches put him in second place. He also finished third in the high jump, cresting at 6 feet, 6 inches. His long jump fell a bit short of his average, but he still finished in 15th with 19 feet, 7 inches. Two of his main competitors in the triple jump wore the same uniform. David Pearcill finished a few inches shorter than Veldman in the triple jump, taking third. In the long jump, he bested Veldman by nearly a foot and finished in eighth place with 20 feet, 6 inches. Khalil Jordan also gave Eastview some points, finishing fifth in the triple jump at 44 feet, 7 inches.
Rosemount It’s a rare occasion when the Rosemount boys don’t make headlines at a track meet. The star for the Irish at the state meet on June 10 was Zach Vraa. He won the 110-meter hurdles event, finishing three-tenths of a second faster than anyone else. He won with a time of 14.52, which was a little more than a half second away from a state record. Vraa was also part of a successful 4x400 relay. He ran with Andrew Housmann, Chris Mergens and Chandler Dye in 3:20.72, which was second-fastest. They were .42 seconds behind first. Vraa also got the team a few points in the 300 hurdles. He completed the event in 39.89 putting the senior in seventh place. Brant Berghuis also finished in seventh place in the shot put. Despite three fouls, his best throw of 53 feet 1.5 inches put him in the top 10. He also finished ninth in the discus with a toss of 150 feet even. Andrew Housmann got his name high on the list in the triple jump. His best leap went 43 feet, 8.5 inches, put-
