Board will go to Local team conquers the world voters for funds Destination ImagiNation team wins global competition

Facing a $21.2 million deficit over next biennium, Lakeville schools will look to voters for levy dollars by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Facing a remarkable $21.2 million budget deficit over the next biennium, district staff formally announced the School Board’s plan on June 8 for a fall levy referendum, that, if successful, will cover most of the shortfall. All told, three questions will be appearing on the Nov. 2 ballot, and even if approved, the Lakeville Area Public School District’s School Board will need to find a way to adjust $3 million from the district’s $100 million budget. The three levies – one a tax-neutral reauthorization of an existing referendum and two questions seeking new funding – would cost the owner of a $250,000 home $348 a year, or $29 a month, in

LAKEVILLE property taxes. The average value of a Lakeville home is $250,000. Superintendent Gary Amoroso said he and the School Board understand the challenging times facing the state and families. That is why the School Board isn’t asking for every dollar needed to offset the deficit, he said. “It’s a shared responsibility – a shared sacrifice,” he said. It’s also noteworthy that a school board that often doesn’t see eye-toeye managed to find both middle ground and consensus in regard to the levy questions. Board Member Bob Erickson said a June 1 work session at which the levy See Funds, 5A

Quick thinking has served one group of Farmington students well. The local JAM2K team perfected these skills by winning the Destination ImagiNation global finals, beating 67 teams at the world competition on May 28 in Knoxville, Tenn. The team of energetic eighth-grade girls is Katie Aaron, Kelli Elmer, Jeanna Gaalswyk, Aly Grebner and Maricia Pacheco. The DI competition consists of creating a five-minute impromptu skit with only seven minutes to prepare. “I love it because it is fun and makes me laugh and they are like my BFFs (best friends forever),” said Aaron, one of the leading comics of the group. Each challenge focuses on building students’ improvisational acting, ability to develop a story, teamwork and research skills, said Jan

Immediately following a deadly crash on Interstate 35 on May 24, a state trooper ordered the truck driver who started the chain-reaction collision out of service, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Jason Styrbicky, 36, of Buffalo, Minn., whose semitrailer truck collided with two cars and another semitrailer carrying millions of bees, was placed out of service for 10 hours based on observations and preliminary findings at the scene, according to State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske. Roeske declined to say what findings went into the decision, saying they were part of the ongoing investigation.

Retiring from day care after 40 years making a difference Karen Lindeman, who will retire June 11, was Lakeville’s only licensed day care provider when she began in 1971 by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It goes without saying that much has changed in the past 40 years. But maybe no profession has changed more than that of being a child care provider. “Forty years ago, doing day care was like baby sitting,” Karen Lindeman, 67, said. “Now, parents expect you to do more things – to teach more. But that’s how I always wanted to do it.” Lindeman has provided day care services out of her home in Lakeville since 1971. But she’s retiring on June 11, having had more than 175 children in her

LAKEVILLE care over the years. “It’s time. It’s been going through my mind all winter. But the fact I’ve been doing this for 40 years – that’s probably long enough,” Lindeman said. “There’s a lot of things I want to do yet.” Lindeman’s daughter, Christine Lindeman-Mazurek, said growing up in a day care setting was both good and bad for her and her two siblings, Sharleen and Mark. “The upside is there was always kids around to play with,” she said. “The downside, it felt like we had to

his. I figured, I was home at the time with two of my children, I might as well take care of another one,” Lindeman said. She got her license in 1971, and at the time, was the only licensed day care provider in Lakeville. Now Lindeman holds five licenses and can care for up to 12 children. “And I’ve had that many here sometimes,” she said. In 2000, Lindeman was even named Dakota County’s day care provider of the year. “It was such an honor. It seems like day care is one of those things that doesn’t get a lot of credit,” Lindeman said. But credit is what her daughter, Lindeman-Mazurek, feels she deserves.

“I’m totally amazed by her,” she said. “I think that when people look back at a long career like she’s had, you hope you impacted or added value along the way. That’s all she’s done for 40 years.” Lindeman says she’s still friends with many of the parents and children she once cared for. “I’ve been invited to graduations, weddings – many used me as a reference when applying for jobs,” Lindeman said. “I’m still friends with parents of my first day care child.” Among the things that have changed – costs. Lindeman said she made $20 a week in 1971 to take care of an infant. Now that fee is between $165 and See Lindeman, 9A

Dakota County Post-recession, local government housing development booming Dakota County Community Development Agency’s budget to increase by $3.4 million in 2011 by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Dakota County Community Development Agency is apparently doing pretty well in this economy. While sheriff’s foreclosure sales in Dakota County

are nearing 1,300 this year, the CDA has strong revenues and plans to build, develop and purchase land while prices are still depressed. In 2011, the CDA budget is $52 million, a $3.4 million

bump over fiscal year 2010. The agency’s largest revenue source is intergovernmental grants, which total $21.6 million. Funds collected by the agency are primarily spent on subsidized housing, and

the agency has many projects both under way and planned for 2011. CDA Executive Director Mark Ulfers said one of the agency’s primary goals for fiscal year 2011 is to begin the process for the purchase

He told Dakota County commissioners June 8 that the 13-acre site is slated for 80 independent senior housing units and 60 assisted living units to be managed by Presbyterian Homes. “We are close to purchasing the site from Kraus Anderson,� Ulfers said. Meanwhile, the first residents of the CDA’s senior housing development, Cobblestone Square, in Apple Valley, are expected to move in at the end of June, and construction will begin on sites in South St. Paul and Farmington. Land acquisition is planned in Lakeville, where 36 workforce housing units are planned to be developed on 3.8 acres behind the Muller Family Theatre. Workforce housing units will be constructed in Apple Valley, north of the Super Target store, and in Farmington, 25 more workforce

housing units are planned in Twin Ponds, located east of Highway 3 and west of County Road 50. A major renovation project is planned for Kidder Park affordable housing complex in Rosemount, similar to the significant improvements expected to be finished soon at Burnsville’s Chancellor Manor. Ulfers said the success of the Burnsville project was very significant. “We had taken an old and tired development and pumped considerable new life into it,� he said. Calling Kidder Park a “troubled development,� Ulfers said the project could help improve the whole neighborhood. “It could be on the order of the magnitude of Chancellor Manor in terms of what it means to the area,� Ulfers said.

Dakota County’s plan for a network of interconnected greenways is another step closer to reality. County commissioners unanimously approved on Tuesday, June 8 hiring consultant HKGI Inc. of Minneapolis for $110,000 to create individual master plans for two greenways. Following the county’s

2030 Park System Plan, the greenways are planned to be located along the Minnesota River and in Lebanon Hills Regional Park, running from Eagan and Apple Valley to Farmington’s Vermillion River. While some land acquisition may be necessary, the county intends to locate the majority of the greenways on public property. See Greenways, 9A

Doris McNamara, music specialist at Farmington Elementary, directs a third-grade music class that sings patriotic songs for a sing along concert held Monday evening in the recital hall at Farmington High School. McNamara applied for a state music grant and the school received news it will receive $13,603 to support four musical artists in residence programs next year to teach students how music can link them to their family and school community.

Making sweet music by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Music should strike the heart of a man and bring tears from the eyes of a woman, according composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. Learning to understand the roles music can play in life is an essential part in a student’s educational development, according to Doris McNamara, music specialist at Farmington Elementary. Studies show that music instruction also can boost a student’s ability to build math and reading skills. This year, when enrollment dropped at Farmington Elementary, it left fundraising gap for enrichment activities, like artist in residence music programs. To help bridge the gap, McNamara, a 22-year music teacher in Farmington, applied for and earned a $13,603 a state music grant that will fund four musical artists in residence. The music curriculum will center around a theme of how important it is to build a sense of community. “The whole idea behind it was this year was such a changing year for us, getting accustomed to new staff and we call it ‘building a community’ since we are starting new with staff and the kids

we have,â€? McNamara said. Farmington Elementary was one of 46 Minnesota State Arts Board grants given as part of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. The funds were approved by Minnesota voters in 2008 to support lifelong learning in the arts. Farmington Elementary was one of few schools to receive the funds after more than 150 applications were received, according to Amy Frimpong, senior program officer at Minnesota State Arts Board. The artist in residence series is important because Farmington students are spending less time with music specialists than they were last year. “It is such a clichĂŠ about helping the child to become well balanced, but it is so true and music is such an enjoyment at a different level than students get from just reading or just writing or working with numbers,â€? McNamara said. Music involves a different part of the emotions, and at the same time, we are also incorporating literacy in kindergarten through third grades,â€? McNamara said. McNamara said she has seen music programs cut in other schools around the

state, but Farmington has been very supportive. “There is real, hard, honest and factual research out there of how music benefits you, and me and kids in so many ways and shows how music and math are so related,� McNamara said. Music teaches students the need for practice, organization skills, discipline and how to develop a good work ethic, said McNamara. With the grant, students in kindergarten and first grades will learn from artist Margo McCreary who will teach about community with shadow puppetry and visual arts. Ross Sutter will teach second- and third-graders to investigate their own family history and talk with parents and grandparents. African artist Kenna Sarge will teach fourth-graders about traditional African dances and how dance steps are linked from Caribbean music to slavery time and today’s hip hop music. African musician and drummer Francis Kofi will return to Farmington Elementary to teach fifth-graders about drumming. Kara Hildreth is at farmington.thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

The second question is for authorization of a new $524-per-pupil levy. The 10year measure will cost the owner of the average home $299 annually and will generate $12.4 million over the biennium, cutting the district’s deficit to $3 million. The final question is a one-time technology infusion of $940,000 to purchase 875 new computers. The one-time tax impact is $39 on the $250,000 home. Amoroso said the district has nearly 1,900 computers currently being used by students and district staff that are more than seven years old. Erickson said it’s not acceptable for students or teachers to be using such outdated technology. “It impairs the productivity of our teachers and students,� Erickson said. “Teachers are taking their work home. I mean, that’s what they’re doing and that’s not acceptable. They deserve quality infrastructure.� Amoroso also said the board is committed to using the $700,000 left over from the Lakeville South construction bonds, and another $250,000 in general-fund monies to purchase another 1,000 machines, that, in to-

questions were discussed was an important day. “I think the June 1 meeting was a defining moment for this board,� he said. “We found middle ground.� Board member Jim Skelly also took note. “It’s the tone that makes a difference this time around,� he said. The first question voters will see is a tax-neutral reauthorization of a 2003 referendum. The $250 per pupil levy was originally passed to cover the operational costs of Lakeville South High School, Amoroso said. The 10-year renewal will generate more than $5.8 million over the biennium and cut the deficit to $15.4 million.

tal, would replace all of the district’s outdated computers. “This infusion would be a powerful step to provide our students with the tools they need,� Amoroso said. Lakeville is expected, over the next three years, to see declining enrollment and, thus, less state funding. In addition, the state is facing a nearly $6 billion deficit over the next biennium that will likely result in no increase in funding. Amoroso said these factors mean the district can’t expect to see revenue from the same places it has in the past. Over the past eight years, the district has adjusted more than $20 million from its current budget by way of cuts, reductions and fee increases. “We all understand these are challenging times,� Skelly said. “But we have to have the discussion. There’s a lot of information to take in and one of our goals is to make this understandable.� The school board will formally approve the levy questions on July 13 and the community will vote on the referendums on Nov. 2 during the general election.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Event shows how libraries have turned the page by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The libraries of today are much different places than they were a generation ago. The public library I frequented during my school years was a passive place. One could hear a pencil drop inside its expansive four walls at nearly all of its hours of operation. As for its selection, it was virtually all books found through a manually operated card catalog. A June 12 free event at the Burnsville Performing Arts center staged by the Dakota County Library System shows how our places of books have transformed into active, engaging and exciting community centers. The first Rhythm and Words Family Music and Book Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. showcases in a splash the changing role libraries are playing as it will provide a sample of the kind of programming people can find every week at Dakota County libraries. In the past few years, county residents have seen the shift in the

libraries’ focus in a concrete way with renovation projects and the construction of a new library. The work at Galaxie, Wescott and now Burnhaven has aimed to create room for the kinds of materials patrons increasingly are demanding, such as CDs and DVDs, while also adding space dedicated for computer stations. The new Robert Trail Library, completed last year, reflects the changing state of libraries. There is less room dedicated for printed reference materials and more space afforded for computer stations and small- and large-group meeting rooms. It is inside these meeting rooms where many of the interactive programs occur. There are story times for toddlers, sing-alongs, activities, crafts, video game contests, author readings, writing clubs, theatrical presentations and much more. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Books Calendar in this edition or see it on our website under the Thisweekend heading.

RHYTHM AND WORDS FAMILY FESTIVAL Dakota County Libraries’ Rhythm and Words musical lineup will include Bunny Clogs, Clementown, Koo Koo Kanga Roo, The Sweet Colleens, and the Whistlepigs String Band. Author presentations include Chris Monroe, Duluth author/ illustrator of the “Monkey with a Tool Belt” picture books, and Jarrett Krosoczka, creator of the Lunch Lady graphic novels and the Punk Farm picture books. People can sample fun and interactive family music classes provided by Kindermusik of the Valley and MacPhail Center for Music. Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine will provide on-site concessions. For more information, visit the library’s website at www.dakotacounty.us/library. Ken Behringer, library system director, and Jen Verbrugge, in charge of Community Connections for the libraries, spoke recently about the event and the changing role of libraries during a recent episode of ThisweekLive the Show that is posted on our website. Verbrugge said the event, which is being funded by the 2008 voter-approved three-eighths percent sales tax increase for preserving the state’s arts and cultural heritage, will appeal to all ages

from toddlers to seniors. The music will include such styles as bluegrass, pop and hiphop. People will be encouraged to dance and even play along on instruments provided. “We want to bring music into their lives,” Verbrugge said. She said children’s librarians in Dakota County and across the country are implementing music programs because there is a strong link showing that rhythm and music help children learn how to read.

The event also includes author presentations and interactive family music classes. Behringer hopes the event will attract people who may not have been to a Dakota County library in a long time. “I see this event as a way for us to relate that in addition to putting on programs like this, we are an information resource, we have a homework help database … and cultural programs throughout the entire year,” Behringer said. “Every time you get an opportunity to tell the public that the library is so much more than what people may think it is, it works in our favor and we end up with more users.” If the event lures those who haven’t been to a library since my school years, here’s a hint: You won’t have to finger through the card catalog to find a book.

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.

School Board should carefully consider class size concerns by Laura Beem SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

budget. The original budget was projecting a $119,000 deficit, for which they have made several adjustments to expenses and fees to get to a balanced budget. They solved for a $119,000 deficit, but they don’t find it necessary to include a projected $270,000 expense. If they planned to spend the money for additional teachers, why isn’t it in the balanced budget? In contrast to the concern that the district won’t spend enough on classroom teachers is the concern that the district spends too much on administration. Using the 10 school comparison group that the district uses and using data from the Minnesota Department of Education, ISD 192 is No. 1 in District Administration expenses and No. 2 in School Level Administration expenses. Over the last several years, the district has increased the levels of some administrative positions from coordinators to directors and directors to assistant superintendent, with the corresponding salary increases. Additionally, it appears that our district may have at least one extra top level administrator compared to the 10 school comparison group. I have been very extremely happy with the education my young children have received in Farmington schools. My participation on district committees and my involvement in the schools has proved to me that this sentiment is shared across the district. I implore the School Board to give careful consideration to parents’ concerns. I am hopeful that the board will continue to make this a district to be proud of and will fund education where it matters most – the classroom.

The District 192 School Board recently voted unanimously to delay passing the 2010-2011 school budget until June 28. Their vote was in response to an outpouring of concern by many parents over projected class sizes. Elementary class sizes are determined using the district target class size policy based on projected enrollment. This year, projected enrollment levels for fall are very close to the current actual enrollment. Enrollment levels in the various grades and schools can fluctuate during the summer as families move in and out of the district. Often the decision to add an additional class to a grade level cannot be determined until close to the start of school. The district claims that this is always the process and that generally they have added the needed teachers at the start of the year. This year, however, the budget may not allow for the additional teachers that are needed based on projected enrollment. According to the district finance director, the district has had six teachers retire this year along with other staffing changes from elementary grade levels at a savings of over $350,000. Based on the target class size policy, the district would need to add six new teachers next fall at an approximate cost of $270,000. While the savings from the retirements and staffing changes was included in the budget, the cost for new teachers is not. Parents have discussed budget concerns with various district leaders at several different meetings, but district leaders have yet to “show us the money.” They say they can cover the additional teachers with the flux in the budget. The School Board and su- Laura Beem is a Lakeville resident who lives perintendent have a goal to have a balanced in District 192.

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.

cia might be a chair,� said Gaalswyk. In the global competition, the challenge was to perform a skit involving the Great Barrier Reef in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. The team named itself JAM2K to stand for the first letter of their first names; two of the girls’ first names begin with K. After years of practice once or twice a week and competing in regionals and going on to compete in global challenges three times, the hard work and dedication paid off for JAM2K. During the winning skit, the judges liked the team’s energy, loud voices and humorous accents. The golden trophy depicts a woman carrying a torch. The trophy had its own seat on the long bus ride back home to Farmington and will be showcased at Farmington Elementary where all the girls attended school together. This year the girls sold candy bars, geranium plants, duct tape wallets and hair bows to support the team and cover travel expenses. JAM2K plans to continue to compete as a DI team in high school in the fall. “This is the one thing we all have in common,� Pacheco said. “I want to win it next year too, but we know it will be really hard because this is the highest we can go,� said Elmer.

Driver/from 1A Office thereafter. Styrbicky was driving a truck for Wisconsin-based Reinhart Foodservice, which is owned by Reyes Holdings of suburban Chicago. The crash occurred just after 11 a.m. on May 24 and Roeske said the initial investigation suggests there was a lane closure on Interstate 35 for patching work that resulted in a traffic backup. A semi-truck carrying honey bees, driven by Darren Straus, 37, of Fertile, Minn., was stopped in traffic, with Rasmussen in her Pontiac Bonneville behind him and Brinkhaus in her Chevrolet Lumina behind her. Another semi-truck driven by Styrbicky, collided with Brinkhaus’ vehicle at a high rate of speed, sending her car and Rasmussen’s car into the truck carrying the bees. Roeske said the bee truck was carrying more than 17 million bees that were being transported from Mississippi to North Dakota. Of those, it’s estimated 4 million bees escaped after some of the hives spilled onto the roadway following the collision. There have been reports that suggest Styrbicky told investigators he took his eyes off the road to reach for something to drink just before the crash, but Roeske wouldn’t confirm that. “That’s not the whole story,� he said. “We have to do our due diligence.� According to reports, Styrbicky’s driving record shows several moving violations, including three speeding violations and DUI convictions in 1991 and 2002.

Each master plan will include alignments and coordination with existing facilities, and will be funded in part with $45,000 from a Blue Cross Blue Shield Active Living grant.

Her crowning achievement Miss Farmington reflects on past year as city ambassador by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When she was crowned Miss Farmington a year ago, Rachel Marzhan said she hit the ground running and felt privileged to represent the community as an ambassador of Farmington. Marzhan decided to enter the Miss Farmington pageant a year ago after she heard an announcement while sitting in class. As a senior ready to graduate from Farmington High School who had been part of a winning speech club, Marzhan said she considered the Miss Farmington pageant a way to become more engaged with public speaking, share her singing and connect to the community by volunteering. “I love to do all those things, and why not do it while I was wearing a tiara?� said 18-year-old Marzhan. Showing up to help celebrate Farmington events and neighboring cities’ activities and parades, Marzhan said she enjoyed meeting other ambassadors around the state, as well as meeting residents, local civic leaders, school board members and city council representatives. Serving alongside Little Miss Farmington Emma Smith and six other young girls in the court of royalty has made the experience fun, memorable and worthwhile. Daughter of Paul and Debra Marzhan, she said her parents continually teach their three children by example. They ask each to volunteer to understand how important community service is and how it can make a difference. “I got my philanthropic spirit from my parents because they were always giving their time to others,� said Marzhan, whose younger brother is Josh and older sister is Rebekah. Volunteering to help orphans at a Mexican orphanage for the past 17 years, Marzhan said she realizes how lucky she was to have

One memorable event during her reign was when she visited the former TC Davis Bed & Breakfast to celebrate her grandmother’s birthday. It holds a special place in her heart because she got to sing alongside her maternal grandmother, sister, mother and great aunt while her paternal grandmother played the piano. “That just made my day,� she said. Marzhan had fun dressing in costume at the Warrior to Citizen Haunted House in October. She made caramel apples to sell for the charity event. Graduating this Friday in the top 10 percent of the Farmington High School class of 2010, Rachel plans to use her Miss Farmington $1,500 scholarship to study at Hamline University and pursue her interest in communications, theater, Spanish and photography. Marzhan sang the song

“You are the Best Thing� by Ray Lamontagne during the pageant competition. She has used her vocal talents during her reign to sing the national anthem at Shakopee Raceway and the Dakota County Fair. Marzhan encourages any young girl to consider competing in next year’s Miss Farmington pageant. “Honestly, it is a great way to find out who you are and be more confident,� she said. As she prepares to finish her reign and hand off her tiara to the next Miss Farmington, Marzhan said she is filled with ambivalent feelings. “I am working on a slide show and I am writing a farewell speech and it is hard,� Marzhan said. “I am so emotional, I hope I don’t cry.� This summer Marzhan plans to compete in the National American Miss competition in St. Paul because the pageant “is more academic and more volunteerbased.� Kara Hildreth is at farmington.thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

I remember when Mike Kvasnicka was just a young baseball player at Lakeville. The Panthers had the best baseball team in the state and he was their secret weapon. The Panthers were loaded with talent, but by the end of the year every coach was mentioning Kvasnicka. He helped the team win a state title and helped define Lakeville North baseball and football from 2005-07 after the split with South. His long-term goal was

PRESSBOX always to play professionally. He was drafted a few years ago by the Minnesota Twins, but never signed. He’s spent his time refining his game at the University of Minnesota. Last week, the Houston Astros made him the 33rd pick in the Major League Baseball draft. The key to getting draft-

ed was his versatility. He can play outfield and catcher and bat from left and right. He was the highest player drafted from the Gophers since Glenn Perkins was selected by the Twins in 2004. Kvasnicka might bump into a former teammate at some point. Lakeville North alumnus Bret Mitchell was selected by the New York Mets in the 12th round. He’s spent his time as a right-handed pitcher for Minnesota State, Mankato. Mitchell finished 2010 with a 10-4 record in 14

Lakeville lacrosse reaches lofty goal In only its second year, combined North/South team earns first-ever state berth by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It’s been a while since Lakeville had just one high school team to rally around. The cooperation between Lakeville North and South created a girls lacrosse team that had one of the best seasons of any in the state of Minnesota. Last season, Lakeville went 6-8. One season later the team put together 15 wins and qualified for state for the first time. “I’m so proud of this team,” Lakeville star midfielder Danica Cutshall said. “It took effort from every single girl the whole year.” With eight freshmen on the team’s roster – including Abbie Ness, Lauren Storhoff, Hannah Koloski, and Emily Engelheart, along with eighth-grader Kacie Waagbo – Lakeville relied on youth to get to the net all season. At first it wasn’t easy for the upperclassmen to give way to freshmen, but they formed a positive relationship by season’s end. “I know it was frustrating for the seniors not playing as much,” Cutshall said. “The younger girls are so

At the end of their state semifinal loss to Blake on Tuesday night, the team huddled together for a post-game cheer. They chose “family”

as their rallying cry. The fact that the girls went to rival high schools added a spirit of competitiveness at times. “It was strange walking down the halls at North wearing a South jersey,” Cutshall said. “I’d hear it from some guys, but it was

turnovers and Blake was quicker to the loose balls. Blake also brought out some offensive schemes Lakeville hadn’t seen much this season. “They had a lot of stack plays,” coach Kate Leavell said. “We didn’t really see that much in our section.” Several of Lakeville’s top players were hobbled with injuries as well. Although they were able to play, they were slow to the ball. “It was extremely frustrating,” Cutshall said. “We tried not to let it get to us, but it was tough to see a lot of balls that we normally would have picked up.” It eventually spiraled out of Lakeville’s control. “We had trouble getting our momentum going,” Leavell said. Senior midfielder Olivia Perry had three goals for the Panthers and Cutshall added two goals and two assists. Lakeville took on Mounds View in the state third-place game on Wednesday. The results were unavailable as of press time.

Panther golfers qualify for state third year in a row by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After some brilliant golfing at the Section 1AAA tournament on June 1 and 3, the Lakeville North boys feel they have a shot at some high marks at state this year. After the first day of sections, North took a 24-stroke lead thanks to a brilliant 291 total. The team was still nervous the second day despite the significant lead, but came through with a 307 to get the win. Tyler Goss, Adam Petterson and Freddy Thomas all shot less than 150 and finished second, third and fourth in the section, respectively. It’s the third year in a row Lakeville North has qualified for state. Four of the team’s current golfers played at state last season. “They have the experi-

ence,” coach Steve Sabetti said. “They won’t be as nervous. “They all play a lot of tournament golf. They can handle it.” Sabetti sees Rogers as the favorite this season, but if North plays like it did in the section tournament, the team has a shot. “We played with every team that’s going to be there,” Sabetti said. “If we can break 310 on the first day and keep it close to 300, we’ll be close.” He would like to be in the top four after Tuesday and keep it close on Thursday. “If you’re around 300, I think you have a good shot,” Sabetti said. “I don’t know how realistic it is. Bunker Hills is like 6,700 yards. There’s spots for some birdies, but there’s some tough holes, too.” The team’s top five

golfers averaged under 80 this season. North’s top golfer has been Petterson, who has been consistent this spring with the clubs, irons and putter. “He doesn’t get frustrated,” Sabetti said. “There’s not one part of the game that is better than the rest.” The team’s only senior, Goss, is the long-ball driver of the bunch. Eighth-graders Freddy and Bobby Thomas keep the team young. Freddie is the consistent one, and Bobby has a longer drive. “Their swings are almost identical,” Sabetti said. Brady Skjei, one of the top young hockey players in the state, can mix it up on the golf course as well. “He has good hands and a good short game,” Sabetti said. “He’s a little wild sometimes, but he can put up a 74 or 75.”

North has rotated about nine different golfers in the No. 6 spot. Sabetti has settled on Garret Gidlow for state. He’s hit in the upper 70s this season and from tee to green he’s been solid. Carter Holmquist from Lakeville South also qualified after shooting 155. The state tournament is scheduled for June 15-17 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids.

Girls golf won’t defend state title

graduate, the 2010 team was still considered a contender in Section 1AAA. But in the first round of golf at sections on June 1, North scored a 377, which was its worst round all season. In the final round on June 3, North cut off 19 strokes, but it wasn’t enough. North will have representation at state in Keandra Brion, who qualified individually. She rallied from her first-round score of 92, which was one of her worst all season, to shoot a 77 in the second round to put her at second overall. She was the only North golfer to score in the 70s either day. Lakeville North finished third overall in the Lake Conference this season.

The 2009 Class AA girls golf champions won’t make a return trip to state this season. Last week the Lakeville North girls team failed to qualify for a spot at state as Northfield won the Section 1AAA title at Cannon Falls Golf Club. Although North saw Andy Rogers is at most of its 2009 team andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Logan Hussung won the shot put and took second in the discus at the Section 1AAA track and field championships held last week at Lakeville South. The top-two finishes earned the University of Minnesota recruit a return trip to this weekend’s state meet and an opportunity to improve on his 2009 efforts. Hussung ranked third in the discus and seventh in the shot at state last spring. “Logan will go in as one of the state leaders,� coach Brian Helmstetter said. “We’re excited to see how he can do against the best in Minnesota.� As a team the Tigers ranked right in the middle of the 15-team field, finishing eighth with 41.5 points. State powerhouse Rosemount piled up 131 points to take home the championship trophy. Lakeville South finished a distant second with 99 points. Hussung accounted for 18 of Farmington’s point total with a winning 60-6.25 toss in the shot put and a 169-5 effort in the discus. The next highest Farmington finish came in the 4x400 relay where the foursome of Tyler Grubb, Matt Shutey, Andrew Thomas and Levi Freetly placed third. The 4x200 relay quartet of Freetly, Thomas, Shutey and Grubb ranked fourth and Sam Hanson tied for fourth in the high jump.

Girls track Farmington scored its second best Section 1 finish ever and qualified for the state meet in three events at the rainy girls Section 1AAA championships held last weekend at Lakeville South. Lakeville North edged cross-town rival Lakeville South 109-100 for the team title. The Tigers tied Rochester Century for fifth place with 54 points. “The ladies performed well in really bad conditions,� coach Tom Hart

said. “I think if the sun were shining we might have done even better. “I had hoped to get more girls to the finals in some of the field events but overall we had a pretty good meet. It was fun to see our kids competing for a spot at the state meet and not just getting on to the podium.� Alyssa Parco added another chapter to her stellar season story by winning the 300-meter hurdles in a time of 46.86 and punching her return ticket to state. The hard-working sophomore qualified for state in the 100-meter hurdles last spring. Teammate Jessica Arey narrowly missed the second state berth. She was in second place before hitting the final hurdle and settling for fourth. Nadia Lorencz ranked second in the long jump with a leap of 16-11.75 to earn a trip to this weekend’s state meet at Hamline University in St. Paul. The winning 4x200 relay team of Parco, Erin Hickey, Maria Kiminski and Amy Kiminski earned the other state meet bid with a 1:43.59 clocking. That quartet will take the state’s fifth fastest time into Friday’s state meet preliminaries. Farmington’s 4x400 relay team of Parco, Hickey and the Kiminski sisters finished just out of the money, placing second to state qualifier Lakeville South. The 4x100 relay foursome of Lauren McHenry, Arey, Lorencz and Hickey also turned in a third-place finish in a quality field. The Kiminski sisters accounted for the other Farmington points with Amy taking fifth in the 200-meter dash and Maria finishing seventh in the 800 meters.

Boys golf The Tiger boys golf team’s season ended with a thud at the soggy opening round of the Section 1AAA championships played Tuesday, May 25, at Bellwood Oaks Golf Club in Hastings. Farmington finished

10th in the 12-team meet that included a frustrating three-hour rain delay and failed to advance to the second day of competition. “We finished our round at 8:45,� coach Jon Holmes said. “I think most of the boys had resigned themselves that they were not going to resume play. It was a tough day.� Even though the Tigers didn’t advance as a team, Tommy May carded an 80 to make it to Thursday’s final round of individual play. Brandon Beers and Matt Provost missed the second round cut by a stroke with rounds of 83. Cooper Loew and Victor Simones each shot 88 and Ryan Kelly finished at 89. May followed his opening round 80 with a 79 on Thursday to finish the tournament at 159, four strokes off the qualifying score for this weekend’s state meet. May tied for 10th in the final individual standings.

Girls golf The Farmington girls were hoping to beat a team or two at the Section 1AAA girls golf tournament at Cannon Falls Golf Club last week, but when it was over they were looking up at the rest of the 12-team field. The Tigers finished with a season-high total of 454 strokes in the opening round played Tuesday, May 25, to bring down the curtain on a season of learning by doing by the young Tiger squad. “We picked a heck of a day for our worst team performance of the year,� coach Rob Carpentier said. “The silver lining is that three of our youngest players were able to overcome their nerves and improve their front nine scores by more than 10 strokes on the back nine.�

The District 194 School Board approved action on the sale of Qualified School Construction Bonds on May 25. Over the summer, the district will complete maintenance projects, including roof repair, carpet replacement and other improvements. The cost is approximately $8.8 million. The district participated in the Alternative Facilities Bonding and Levy Program, which facilitated the obtaining of the Qualified School Construction Bonds. The bonds are backed by the federal government and have limited interest on the borrowed funding. As a result, the district will save taxpayers roughly $5.17 million in net interest costs over the life of the bonds. The recommendation was presented by Mark Klett, director of Business Services, and Carolyn Drude, executive vice president of Ehlers & Associates.
