Remembering our fallen heroes Students grow strong, tall Local residents gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The word hero is often said carelessly to recognize an athlete or movie star. But on Memorial Day, we remember our nation’s true heroes – those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we too often take for granted. Here is a look at a few local citizens who gave their lives in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ben Kopp Ever since he was a young boy, Cpl. Benjamin Kopp dreamed of becoming a soldier like his greatgrandfather, Leroy Rogers, who served during World War II. “Ben admired him greatly and wanted to grow up to be just like him,” Ben’s mother, Jill Stephenson, said. Friends and family describe Ben as someone who was very patriotic Ben Kopp throughout his life. In addition to his country, Ben loved fishing, camping and hanging out with friends. An only child, he made friends easily. “Ben was someone who everybody loved, and who loved his country, family and friends,” Jill said. Friends describe him as someone who was extremely loyal and caring. “He was the best friend ever,” said 23-year-old Jenny Boll, who knew Ben since middle school. As a teen, Ben supported her during a particularly difficult time in her life, she said.
“He was always there for me and never judged me,” she said. “He was like that to all his friends.” Ben graduated from Rosemount High School in 2006, and immediately enlisted in the U.S. Army where he became a Ranger. After boot camp, Ben was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Ga., and served two tours in Iraq. Ben was proud to fulfil his life-long goal of becoming an Army Ranger. Ben had hoped that after finishing his duty in the Army, he would work for the CIA or FBI and move by the ocean to settle down – get married, have children and so forth, said friends and family. Ben was never able to achieve those goals. He was serving his first tour in Afghanistan when he was shot in Helmand Province. Ben died July 18, 2009 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He was 21. Though she misses him terribly, Jill said she is proud of the sacrifice Ben made for his country. “He continues to give me reasons to be proud of him,” she said.
Andrew Wilfahrt The military was the last place Spc. Andrew Wilfahrt’s family thought he’d go after graduating from Rosemount High Andrew Wilfahrt School in 1997. After high school, Andrew was indecisive about a career path and bounced from job to job. See Fallen Heroes, 8A
Sobering reminder at Rosemount High School
School of Environmental Studies seniors find their way through connections to nature by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Two winters ago, Hannah Oakes and her junior classmates at the School of Environmental Studies were hiking at night despite a brisk chill in the air. They reconsidered the wisdom of the hike when soon they were freezing cold. Just when they might have turned back, they came upon a massive tree. “Laying at the bottom of the tree, I realized how truly beautiful the world can be,” said Oakes, who will be one of two senior speakers at the school’s commencement ceremony June 2. “I’ll never forget thinking about how old the tree must of been,” she said, “how many wars it had stood through, how many lives had passed and yet, the tree stood strong. You never really realize how small you are until you’re laying under the stars at the foot of a tree that’s centuries old. It was truly amazing.” Oakes and Erica Bucki will be the student speakers during the 7 p.m. ceremony that will include students from District 196’s four high schools who completed their final two academic years at SES. The school’s students often rave about the education they receive at SES
IN BRIEF School of Environmental Studies senior speaker Erica Bucki has been out of the country on a field study through the school. Thisweek will feature her story in the next edition along with previews for the Eastview and Apple Valley graduations. because of its lower enrollment and courses tailored to their interests. O a ke s, of Rose- Hannah m o u n t , Oakes said one of the memorable aspects of SES is the field study requirement that takes students to places like Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, Costa Rica and Australia. “You get to be out in the world experiencing everything (our teachers have) taught us,” Oakes said. “I loved my field study because I feel as though it taught me a lot about myself and my relationship with the environment.” Oakes will attend the University of Minnesota-Duluth where she plans to study statistics See Student, 15A

Long-time music educator leaving district, but never giving up teaching Judy Sagen of Eastview High School will retire at end of school year to begin community choral group by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Though Judy Sagen began teaching music as a back-up career plan, she now views it as anything but. Over the past three decades, Sagen has developed a passion for working with students.

Eagan School District, Sagen, 58, plans to retire at the end of the school year to start a community choral group and oversee student teachers at the University of Minnesota. “I feel like I’m retiring from District 196 but not retiring retiring,” Sagen, an Apple Valley resident, said. “I hope to still continue to be active in music.” Music is not only a passion for Sagen, it runs through her veins. Her great grandmother played piano at showings of silent films on Broadway, and her great uncle, a child prodigy, played piano at Carnegie Hall when he was 11. Sagen’s mother also inherited the music gene and played violin in an orchestra in California.
When Sagen was a child growing up Eveleth, Minn. on the Iron Range, she met all sorts of famous musicians, such as violinist Isaac Stern, who would play at her grandmother’s community concert series. It was her family– and childhood music teacher, Dorothy Bourgin – who inspired Sagen to pursue a career in music. Initially, Sagen aimed to earn a degree in music performance when she enrolled at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, but her parents encouraged her to pursue teaching as a backup. After working as a student teacher, Sagen fell in love with the profession. “It’s working with the young people through music that I love most,” she
Judy Sagen said. Sagen’s advice to others interested in pursuing a music career is never think of teaching as a backup. “You need to really want to work with young people,” she said. “It just happened to work out for me.” Sagen began her career at Valley Middle School in See Sagen, 16A
Walking around the halls of Rosemount High School, one senses a feeling of the place. Despite it serving as the daytime home to hundreds of teens every weekday during the school year, it seems small and students and staff greet one another with smiles and hellos. For a transfer student, this atmosphere is a relief. “It is a really welcoming place,” said Anastasia Smith, who transferred to the school after her sophomore year. “All of the rumors were totally true. It is a very kind and accepting community.” Smith will offer the student address during the school’s commencement ceremony at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Irish Stadium. She says people can expect to hear a few metaphors and there’s a twist at its midpoint. “I think people like the unorthodoxness of it,” she said of the address that she worked on over the course of two weeks. “It is funny. Humor is a good thing. I think everyone will enjoy it.” Staff members selected Smith, who participated on the speech team during her ninth-grade and senior years, to give the address after she and
some other “very good” student speakers auditioned May 5. L i k e many of the high s c h o o l ’s 491 sen i o r s , Smith will Anastasia g r a d u a t e Smith to embark on a path that will have many twist and turns. She plans to attend a four-year college, possibly St. Thomas or St. Catherine, and continue exploring her interests in physics, medicine and photography. Her ultimate goal is to enter an exclusive group of about 900 people out of about 19,000 applicants who are selected each year to attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. She had an interest in applying to the academy since joining the Navy Sea Cadets her sophomore year. Her father, Guy, was a member of the U.S. Navy for 10 years. Her mother, Jean, was in the U.S. Army for four years. Whatever path Smith takes one can be sure she will never forget the words she passed on to her classmates on graduation day.

Man charged with arson in dumpster fire Shannon Glen apartments were site of blaze nearly a year ago by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Nearly a year after a fire was set at Shannon Glen apartments in Rosemount, a 22-year-old Rosemount man has been charged with arson. Christopher David Haustein was charged May 16 with felony third-degree arson in Dakota County District Court. According to court records, Haustein admitted to police that he set fire to a piece of cardboard in the dumpster with a lighter at
about 7 p.m. May 26, 2010. The dumpster was located inside a carport at the apartment complex southeast of the intersection of 145th Street and Shannon Parkway. He told police that he lit the fire because he was bored, but thought the fire was extinguished when he left it. A resident of the complex told police when she saw the dumpster on fire, she called 911 and her husband pushed the dumpster out from underneath the
carport. The resident also reported that she had seen Haustein digging through the dumpster and holding a Bic lighter in his hand prior to the fire. The estimated cost to replace the dumpster was $800 and to repair damaged asphalt was $575. The maximum sentence for the charge is five years jail time and/or a $10,000 fine.

Crooner takes his gift from the New senior housing in Apple Valley car to the piano bar to the stage Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim McGraw, aka Tim Patrick, is loving his second career by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A funny thing happened to teacher Tim McGraw on the way to fixing his marriage. He found his voice, and a second career. Seven years ago, during a four-month separation from wife Roxanne, the then 51-year-old Burnsville resident stopped into Nyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polonaise Room in northeast Minneapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always suspected I had a good voice, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know for sure,â&#x20AC;? said McGraw, who had tried the church choir at Berean Baptist in Burnsville but preferred crooning to himself in the less disciplined confines of his car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up in not the healthiest of families, and it was not safe to sing. If you tried, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d laugh at you.â&#x20AC;? No one was laughing at Nyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, where a trembling McGraw buried his face in a lyric sheet and offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Left My Heart in San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;? at the piano bar. Patrons around the bar are usually supportive of wannabees and good-time Charlies who take the mic, but McGraw said this reaction was different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole place applauded,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody stopped what they were doing and applauded. It scared me so much I went and hid in the corner.â&#x20AC;? Today, McGraw sings the standards with his own Blue Eyes Band. Last month he and the band released a new CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Layinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it Down,â&#x20AC;? on which the non-music-reading McGraw has four writing credits. His calendar is filling
up, with about 40 band or solo gigs booked through next April â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a July 20 show at Wednesday in the Park in Burnsville and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sinatra-Style Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayâ&#x20AC;? on Feb. 11 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. The calendar isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite full enough to justify a career change, said McGraw, a multilicensed teacher at the alternative high school in White Bear Lake. But music is enough of a going concern that he adopted the stage name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim Patrickâ&#x20AC;? to avoid confusion with the country star of his given name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I book two or three (shows) in a day,â&#x20AC;? McGraw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. This is like a dream come true for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miraculous. My voice is like a God thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done.â&#x20AC;? After his debut at Nyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, where he continued to hone his craft, McGraw successfully auditioned for several musicals at community theaters in the Twin Cities. He recorded a CD with karaoke music as backing tracks, gravitating to the classic jazz heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d loved even as a kid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to like Sinatra and all the stuff Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m singing now,â&#x20AC;? McGraw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But of course, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the cool stuff to listen to. These songs are just timeless.â&#x20AC;? In 2006 McGraw recorded a standards collection with the Joanne Grauer Trio. He credits his mother in Reno, Nev., with collaring Grauer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who played piano with Andy Williams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at a Reno supper club and convincing her to give his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s karaoke recording a
listen. The jazz CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shadow of Your Smileâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; selections from which have been played on radio stations in 27 countries, McGraw reports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helped him launch his performing career. He began crooning at weddings and corporate events, impressing listeners with a voice he describes as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;light baritone.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? McGraw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the way people would react to it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. There was no turning back.â&#x20AC;? In 2008, his booking activity through Gigmasters.com earned him the Rising Star Award for best jazz singer in North America. Through gigs singing with the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra, McGraw formed a bond with trumpeter Todd Matheson, who became chief collaborator in Tim Patrick and his Blue Eyes Band. He and the band have about 25 gigs booked through April, and McGraw has another 15 solo shows at senior residences, where singing the songs of yesteryear helps generate cash to support the band. Tim Patrick and his Blue Eyes Band will perform July 20 at Wednesday in the Park, which is held at 7 p.m. in Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civic Center Park. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit the Eagan Market Fest summer concert series at 5:30 p.m. on July 27 on the Eagan Festival Grounds at Central Park.

Opinion ECM Editorial Cuts and revenue needed to balance state budget As the Legislature heads to a special session, there must be a compromise on behalf of Minnesotans who have indicated in polls they agree to spending cuts and an increase in revenues. Gov. Mark Dayton has agreed to spending cuts of $1.8 billion that will be painful, particularly for less fortunate citizens. He also has cut his taxing plan from $3.3 billion to $1.8 billion, taxing 2 percent of high-income earners. In addition he has agreed to withdraw an increase in property taxes for properties worth at least $1 million. Republican legislative leaders insist that $3 billion in spending cuts must be made and no new revenues should be raised.
A new budget has to be in place by July 1 to avoid a shutdown in state government. The latest Star Tribune Minnesota Poll shows 67 percent of respondents agree with the governor’s solution to cut spending and raise revenues. One way or another, Minnesotans will pay more taxes, either with 2 percent of high-incomeearners paying more income taxes, or a greater percentage of local property taxpayers paying more due to a loss of state aids to local governments. While the message has been mainly about increasing taxes, the projected spending cuts by the Legislature and the governor are very real and will hurt. Dayton
said he is willing to negotiate the $1.8 billion in cuts with the Legislature. With K-12 education accounting for nearly half the total budget, the biggest hit will come from health and human services, which is a third of the budget. Republicans propose cutting $1.6 billion from health and human services, twice as much as the governor wants to cut. Democrats agree that funding for the poor and disabled faces deep cuts, even under the governor’s plan. Both sides agree to shift $1.4 billion in payments to school districts to another year. This requires districts to borrow money to meet expenses and pay the in-
terest out of the operating fund. Dayton, agreeing with the Senate plan, would increase the K-12 education per-pupil formula by $50 in fiscal year 2012 and another $50 in fiscal year 2013. Republicans would cut $800 million in local government aid, leaving it up to the cities and counties to cut local expenses and raise property taxes. Dayton would cut local government aids by less than that. Republicans would cut $411 million from higher education. College presidents say they would have to raise tuition. The governor’s plan calls for cutting higher education by $200 million less. The Republican budget calls for cutting transportation funding
by $189 million, compared with the governor’s $62 million. Transit officials say the Republican plan will result in higher bus fares and fewer routes. Even before the latest poll results were published, the ECM Editorial Board agreed that a combination of spending cuts and increased revenues is essential to achieving a desired balance while protecting the interests of all Minnesotans.

Guest Columnist Standoff at the Capitol is a historic competition of values by Lori Sturdevant SPECIAL TO THISWEEK
My historical irony sensor goes off whenever I hear Republican legislators lecture Gov. Mark Dayton about how best to spur business and improve the state economy. Maybe they forget that the governor is a Dayton. Of Dayton’s. His dad and uncles built the department store their grandfather founded in 1902 into a regional retailing behemoth. They more or less invented the enclosed shopping mall and more or less built the Nicollet Mall. Then they created Target. Yes, Dayton is a DFLer who is proposing to raise taxes on highend earners. But just by listening to Bruce Dayton at the dinner table, he likely learned more before the age of 12 about how to succeed in business than most people ever learn. The budget battle that has hung up the 2011 session is sometimes characterized as government vs. business. Dayton, it’s said, wants to “grow government,” while the GOP Legislature’s budget would shrink government programs to avoid raising taxes on “job creators.” Presumably so they’ll be inspired to create jobs. Presumably
good-paying ones. Presumably here. And presumably, the budget cuts and ensuing local property tax increases that the Republicans prefer instead won’t hurt businesses at all. If that isn’t enough presuming to strain credulity, allow an amateur historian one more poke at the GOP story line: I see the state budget quarrel not as government vs. business, but as the product of two long-competing American ideas about how businesses succeed and what citizenship requires. This fight isn’t just DFL vs. GOP. In American history, it’s New England vs. Virginia. It’s yeoman farmers and merchants vs. landed gentry. It’s town-meeting governance vs. an oligarchy of aristocrats. In latter-day Minnesota, it’s Elmer Andersen vs. Tim Pawlenty – both Republican governors. Pawlenty is a lawyer-politician by profession, and sufficiently probusiness to win ample campaign support from that quarter. Andersen actually was a businessman. He built two little Minnesota companies, H.B. Fuller and ECM Publishers, into large ones. Pawlenty held that the best
thing for business was to constrain state spending, reject higher state taxes and castigate local governments for raising property taxes to make up for only about half of the deep state aid cuts he signed into law. Andersen believed that businesses exist to benefit their customers, employees and communities as well as their owners, and that taxes spent wisely to shore up the state’s shared human and physical capital were good for business. Pawlenty’s thinking is in sync with the national Republican Party today – so much so that he’s increasingly being seen as a toptier GOP presidential candidate in 2012. His official candidacy announcement was Monday. Andersen’s ideas run longer and deeper in Minnesota, back to the New Englanders who arrived at the Falls of St. Anthony in the 1850s and the Scandinavians who followed them, through the mid20th century Republican Party and forward to Dayton and today’s DFL Party. They help explain why Dayton is trying to avert GOP-backed spending cuts for higher education, health care, transit and the rest. In his view, those things are essential ingredients for prosperity.
He said about as much in an interview last week: “We’ve never been a low-tax state. Our success has been a balance, with responsible use of our resources to create a world-class education system, a highway system, a public transit system ... “Now it’s as if employees of businesses don’t matter to these folks,” he said of his GOP sparring partners. “They care about the owners. But they don’t recognize that the owners can’t get very far without good, productive employees who can get to work, and are healthy, and who are well-educated and whose kids are being well-educated.” Dayton’s latest offer to the Legislature (at this writing) asks the top 2 percent of the state’s earners – and no one else – to pay higher income taxes to fix the state budget. Republicans say that’s a jobkiller because it zeroes in on successful entrepreneurs and would send them packing. Dayton’s usual reply invokes tax fairness. He notes that the state’s top earners pay a smaller share of their incomes in state-plus-local taxes than other people do. (State and local government finances are too intertwined to be fairly measured separately.) Last week, there was more to
Dayton’s rationale: “The people who are well-off in our society now are really welloff,” he said. “In the last decade, while a lot of people’s jobs were disappearing, the rich and the superrich did extraordinarily well. That’s why you can raise $1.5 billion by raising taxes on 2 percent of the people, because there’s so much money there. ... “I think you can appeal to their enlightened self-interest. If we have a state that’s falling apart, an education system that’s crumbling, that’s not in their interests. I don’t want to raise taxes for the sake of raising taxes. I raise taxes as an alternative to draconian cuts.” Bruce Dayton used to tell his son that without customers who were able to spend, Dayton’s would have failed. The son sees government as a necessary contributor to the equipping of people for citizenship and self-sufficiency – so they can be customers.

While Bills may find incentive to pander to his socially conservative, rightwing base, I don’t think he will have much to gain in 20 article. The election is on July 26.

marginalize members of our community. I don’t expect Bills or any of his biggest supporters to take it from me, but maybe they should listen to Staff Sgt. John Kriesel – the Republican representative from Cottage Grove who lost both of his legs while serving our country in Iraq.

Proud of the work we did this session
To the editor: The Legislature adjourned late Monday, having passed a balanced state budget. Tuesday afternoon the governor vetoed the budget bills, setting us up for a special session. The budget proposed by the Legislature lives within the state’s means by not exceeding our $34 billion in available revenue; this marks a 6 percent increase in spending over the current biennium. Our budget spends what we have in the state checkbook without raising taxes and allows us to fund the state’s priorities and provide tax relief while holding classrooms, nursing homes and veterans harmless from funding reductions from what they currently receive. In addition to the budget, we passed permit reform, alternative pathways
to teacher licensure, photo ID, and significant reforms in health and human services. I am proud of the work we did this session; we balanced the budget without raising taxes, cut red tape, and reformed education, health care and the way state government operates. It is disappointing to see this good work overshadowed by a special session that does not need to happen. This session I was also active authoring several bills with local impact. One will help reduce congestion along Cedar Avenue and allow continued progress to be made as the state’s first Bus Rapid Transit rolls into Apple Valley. I also worked on issues to assist the Minnesota Zoo as it continues to develop in new ways and reach our community and those around the state. Looking ahead, more work remains to resolve the budget. There is a stark difference between the governor’s proposal to raise taxes in order to spend $2 billion more than we expect to have in revenue and the Legislature’s proposal to live within our means. Despite our differences, we are committed to working with Gov. Dayton to resolve the state’s budget problem and hope to expedite negotiations to resolve the budget differences. As we move forward, I will continue to represent working families, smallbusiness owners and the future of Minnesota’s economy. Thank you for the privilege of serving our great community.

Mushroom hunting should be allowed To the editor: This is the season morel mushroom hunters live for. For three weeks a year we hit the woods and search around dead elm trees for the hidden delicacy of morels. It is a wonderful way to get some fresh air, exercise, and time with the family. When I take my family to area parks, we bring with us garbage bags so we can try to put a dent in the huge amount of refuse people discard in the forests. I believe most morel hunters do our best to be conscientious stewards of the beauty of our public lands. That’s why I was shocked last weekend by a confrontation I had with a park police officer at Hanrehan Park in Savage. While looking for morels near a picnic area near the trail head of the park, an officer approached me and said, “Hey, what do you think you are doing?” When I showed him my mesh bag of mushrooms he then told me there is “an ordinance against removing plants from the park.” I protested that I was aware of the ordinance, but pointed out that mushrooms are not plants. The officer then confiscated my morels, and wrote me a ticket for hiking off the trail. The park system allows geoSee Letter, 7A

Rosemount boys lacrosse Lacrosse advances has never been better Irish hope best season yet extends through playoffs Burnsville, Apple Valley, Eagan/ Rosemount win first-round games
by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Rosemount boys lacrosse team has never had a season quite like this one. The Irish won the South Suburban Conference title with a 12-1 record. They were awarded the No. 1 seed in Section 3, which came with a first-round bye. “It’s been our best year by far,” head coach Lance Kuehn said. “It’s really fun to be the winner. You got to love that.” The boys will host either Rochester Mayo or Rochester John Marshall at 7 p.m. Friday. The winner will play in the semifinals June 1. The Irish like to score in bunches, averaging more than 15 goals per game with five players scoring more than 40 points for the season. Rosemount knew it had something special when it defeated Eastview 15-6 on May 3. Eastview has the No. 2 seed in Section 3, and it has been the team to beat in the south metro since lacrosse became a varsity sport. Rosemount’s sole loss came against Eagan 15-12 on May 9, which is something Rosemount would like to redeem.
If the Irish were to meet Eagan again in the playoffs, it would be in the final. Eagan has the No. 3 seed. If Rosemount were to advance to the state tournament June 7-10, it would be a first for the program. Last year, Eagan won the section. Eastview won it from 2007-09. “There’s no one clear standout in the section,” Kuehn said. “I think we can beat every team. We just need to come out with fire and drive. I have never seen our guys more passionate than when we played Eastview. If we can do that, every game we’ll be fine.” Kuehn feels the Irish can rise to another level. They take risks on offense and score quickly. With a veteran lineup, they can make adjustments throughout. “If anyone tries to do something different, we can do something to counter for it,” Kuehn said. “We haven’t taken all of our tools out of the tool box yet. “The guys know they’re good. They know we have something here.” Team leaders are Matt Weller (45 goals, 18 assists), Carter Yepsen (25, 27),
Grant VanOverbeke (48, 3), Logan Lindberg (22, 24), and Jake Mortenson (22, 24). Goalie Chase Olson, who went straight from ninth grade to varsity, has allowed double-digit scores four times in 13 games. “He decided he is going to be a goalie,” Kuehn said. “He played year round lacrosse. Our guys have done a lot of hard work in the offseason and that’s showing right how.” Last season, Rosemount went 9-4 with much of the same core players, and many kept playing through the summer. “Our top five guys played on traveling teams,” Kuehn said. “ Many of the players come from a football and basketball background, which was also filled with success during the 2010-11 school year. “Guys have naturally gravitated toward lacrosse,” Kuehn said. “It catches like the flu. There’s more competition for spots. Guys that want to play are guys who want to win. … Guys like to hit.”

Boys golf: Lightning clearing the course first Fresh off a conference title, Eastview eyes the greens at Bunker Hills by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The past three years have been exciting for the Eastview boys golf team, but this year the Lightning could top them all. Eastview won the South Suburban Conference title convincingly on Monday. The title is decided by four meets throughout the season. Eastview won three and finished second once, leaving the golfers hungry for more. “It’s been a great year for us,” head coach Mark Wanous said. “The guys have really improved. The goal now is to get to state. It’s always been about perspective for these guys. They know the conference is nice to have. It’s a great accomplishment, but it’s always about the end goal.” To get to state the Lightning will need to win the two-day Section 3AAA tournament on May 31 at Keller Golf Club in St. Paul and June 3 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. Although
Eastview is coming in as the favorite ranked No. 2 in the state in Class AAA by the Minnesota Golf Coaches Association, Wanous knows it’s not automatic. “It’s kind of a weird deal in sections,” Wanous said. “Strange things always happen. I always look to Eagan as the team to aspire to. They haven’t had a great year, but they’re a good team and (Eagan coach Brian) Johnson always gets those guys ready at the right time.” Eagan is the defending Section 3AAA champion. Last year the Wildcats finished seventh in the state tournament thanks to golfers such as Nick Kuchera, Derrick Kuchera and Jack Kaupa. Eagan is ranked No. 5 in the state in Class AAA with a scoring average of 305.8. Eastview qualified for state in 2009, while Eagan qualified in 2007, 2006 and won in 2005. The Lightning have been averaging just below a 300 team score and Wanous figures a combined 600 score at both Keller and Bunker Hills would secure a trip back to state. ‘We don’t talk about scores too much,” Wanous said. “We just want to play our best golf. The rest will
take care of itself.” Max Tylke has been Eastview’s anchor this season averaging 70 strokes per 18 holes. “He’s been unbelievable all year long,” Wanous said. “He’s had a couple dips here and there, but for him that’s an 82. I’ve never experienced anyone like that in my 12 years that can go that low consistently.” Tylke has been the medalist in about half of the events he’s entered this season. “His confidence level is way up,” Wanous said. “You can’t be scared to be successful. He’s more mature this year. There’s still things we can work on. He’s a perfectionist, but he’s come a long way.” All six golfers’ scores have been used at one point this season. Matt Foley shaved almost 10 shots off his game from last season. Erik Edsten, Lucas Allen, Sam Christian and Max Smith consistently average in the mid to upper 70s. “When you have that kind of depth, they know someone is going to be there for him if they don’t have their best game,” Wanous said.
by Andy Rogers The Rosemount boys track and field team won the state True Team meet on May 20 at Stillwater Area High School. Rosemount finished 24 points ahead of Eden Prairie. Although the True Team format uses a different scoring method than the Minnesota State High School League, several of the top programs and athletes were at Stillwater on Friday. Andrew Hausmann won the 200-meter dash in 22 seconds. He also finished third in both the 400 and the triple jump, and seventh in the 100. The 4×800 relay and 4×400 relays were victorious. Joe Bjorklund was first in the shot put with a toss of 57 feet, 2 inches. Brad Berghuis was second in the discus and fourth in the shot put. Chandler Dye was second in the 800, about a tenth of a second out of first. Sam Temple was right behind him in third. Shane McCallum was third across the finish line in the 1600 and fourth in the 3200 Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc. com.

tion) event that week. We opted to let the girls who would be playing at state get the team win.” Eastview will rely on Kristi Opatz, Shannon Deutsch, Roe, Paulsen, Sam Peterson and Kari Opatz in their attempt to play at Coon Rapids on June 1416 for the Class AAA state meet. “As a team we’re still strong even with Sarah not playing; we have a great chance to move on as a team to state,” Boldus said. The Lightning are in the same section with Rosemount, Eagan and Apple Valley, which won’t make it easy. “Kristi should have a chance at winning the section,” Boldus said. “I think as a team we are better than last year.” Last year Eastview qualified shooting a 325 at Phalen and 345 at Bunker Hills in the Section 3AAA meet. Kristi Opatz’s main competition for the title comes from Rosemount’s Betsy Wallin, Eagan’s Jordy Drenttel and Apple Valley’s Jessica Reagan. The No. 2-4 golfers will be key for whichever team qualifies for state. That’s where scores from golfers such as Eagan’s Shelby Braun, Rosemount’s Emily Anderson and Apple Valley’s Erin Nanne could help push their teams to the top and spoil Eastview’s bid to make back-to-back trips to state.
The Eastview girls golfers had so much fun qualifying for the state tournament last June that they want to do it again. Just like last season, the Lightning won the conference title, which was decided by four meets throughout the season. Eastview won twice and finished third twice. It was closely followed by Eagan (one win, two seconds and a third), which figures to be one of the Lightning’s main competition to get back to state. Andy Rogers is at In the latest conference andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. event on Monday, Eastview finished third at unfamiliar Rich Valley Golf Course in Rosemount. Kristi Opatz had led the team averaging a 78 followed by Maddy Paulsen, Madi Roe and Kari Opatz. If the girls are going to get back to state as a team they going to do it without their leading scorer from the past two years. Sarah Detlefsen, who finished second at state last year, won’t be competing at the Section 3AAA tournament June 2 at Phalen Golf Course in St. Paul and June 3 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. Detlefsen spent about half the spring season playing other amateur events throughout Minnesota.

Girls golf: Section 3AAA title up for grabs
THISWEEK May 27, 2011
Showcase Eagan is June 2 A record number of community groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly 60 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have registered for display booths at Showcase Eagan, the citywide open house held every two years. The free event, on Thursday, June 2, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Eagan Civic Arena, has fun activities for people of all ages and gives residents an easy way to sample local nonprofits, civic organizations, associations, churches and other groups in a friendly, trade show-like atmosphere. City departments are also represented, so citizens can tour the emergency command vehicle, ask about that deck you want to build, participate in the taping of the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable access TV show, watch K-9 police dog demonstrations, or talk to the snow plow drivers and fire fighters. There is entertainment
provided by staff and local dance studios, not to mention free food. Kids can enjoy face painting and balloons twisted into all kinds of shapes. While it sounds like a lot of fun, there is a serious purpose behind Showcase Eagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never before have organizations needed more people to get involved to make a difference,â&#x20AC;? said City Administrator Tom Hedges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is our theme, and we know the more people engage with their community the better it makes Eagan.â&#x20AC;? Organizers want to particularly reach out to new residents, families of all ages, and also to emptynesters or seniors who might have time to volunteer. Showcase chair, Sarah Brandel, encourages residents to find out about how city services are delivered.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask that question you have always wanted to ask at City Hall, register to vote, let the kids sit in a fire truck, watch an award-winning video about how Eagan was founded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all those things and more you can do at Showcase,â&#x20AC;? Brandel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also really a one-stop way to discover all there is to do in Eagan.â&#x20AC;? It takes a lot of effort to convene the community. Each group covers the $40 cost of their own booth, and city staff volunteers to work the event. For more information, go to www.cityofeagan. com/showcase or simply drop by the evening of June 2 at 3870 Pilot Knob Road on the Eagan Municipal Campus, just south of the intersection of Pilot Knob and Wescott roads.

Memorial Fallen Heroes/from 1A Then he did some soul searching for six months in Central America, mostly traveling alone. At one point he was invited to join an orchestra in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. In his spare time, Andrew would study everything from physics to Latin to mythology. His passion, however, was musical composition. His family still has numerous boxes of Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores and recorded compositions. Upon returning home, he took a few more low-paying jobs until enlisting in the U.S. Army at age 29. This decision took his family by surprise, considering he was openly gay and a peace activist, his mother, Lori said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He thought about it for a long time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he thought he could spread peace and good will in the Army.â&#x20AC;?

for the underdog, Lori said. It was his caring and witty nature that attracted many friends, she said. Andrew saw the military as an opportunity to make friends and be a part of a group that worked for a greater cause, Lori said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of him for serving his country, for rebuilding his life in his mid-twenties and seizing his own future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for always doing what was right and what would make someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day easier, even if it was just spending a few minutes to talk to someone he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? she said. Andrew was assigned to the 504th Military Police Battalion, 8th Military Police Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, Schofield Barracks based in Hawaii. At first, Andrew didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell his unit he was gay, but after basic training he came out to several comrades, who accepted him regardless of his sexual orientation. In 2010, he was deployed to Afghanistan were he was killed on Feb. 28 when insurgents attacked his unit in Kandahar province using a homemade bomb. He was 31. After his death, Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family received letters filled with glowing remarks from his comrades, many of whom said Andrew changed them for the better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is deeply missed by his entire platoon,â&#x20AC;? wrote 1st Lt. Brandon LaMar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing all the faces of the soldiers crying should show you just how much Cpl. Andrew Wilfahrt meant to us all.

Daniel Olsen Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Olsen of Eagan was a quiet man who always preferred to be in the background. But his service and personality made him stand out among those who knew him best. Though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a large group of friends, Dan got a long well with just about anyone, his mother, Gwen, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would be the first to be friends with the new kid in school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the person everyone else might not let into their group,â&#x20AC;? she said. This was true for Joe Pruis of Eagan, who at Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral told of how the two became friends in high school when Joe moved to town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the school year started, many people ignored me, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept me into their group of friends,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dan was an exception.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was one of the funniest people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever meet,â&#x20AC;? said Scott, 25 At the same time, Chris was mindful and held deep religious and philosophical views, according to friends and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to reach out to kids and show them a good example,â&#x20AC;? his father, Randy, said. Shortly after graduating from high school, Chris was accepted into the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., where he graduated sixth in his class in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a great fit,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a phenomenal leader.â&#x20AC;? Graduating from West Point was Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proudest moment, Randy said. Shortly thereafter, Chris was deployed to Afghanistan with the U.S. Army 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division based in Fort Bragg, N.C. Chris had hoped to earn a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in philosophy and literature after finishing an eight-year stint in the Army. Chris was one of three American soldiers killed on July 13, 2010, while responding to an attack on an Afghanistan National Army facility in Kandahar City. He was 23. After Chris died, his family and friends founded the Christopher Goeke Leadership Foundation, which will be hosting a reception and ultimate frisbee tournament on Memorial Day weekend to raise money for scholarships.

l Day 2011 spotlight. His father, Wayne, remembers one time Dan became disappointed when he received attention from scoring a goal while playing soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the last goal he scored,â&#x20AC;? Wayne said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d jump over the ball just to avoid it.â&#x20AC;? In addition to his humble nature, Dan was someone who always reached out to his family, friends and church, Wayne said. Daniel Olsen During his last few years of high school, Dan helped prepare Sunday school lessons and served as a mentor to many of the children. This was among his favorite activities. Dan was the middle child and only boy in the family. As a little boy, Daniel was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;typical annoying younger brother,â&#x20AC;? who would hide and jump out at his sisters to scare them, but as a teen and young adult, he was loyal and independent, his older sister, Shelcy Kamrud, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud that he did what he wanted to do rather than what everyone else told him to,â&#x20AC;? she said. Dan joined the U.S. Marines immediately after finishing high school a trimester early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very smart, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like school,â&#x20AC;? Gwen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the Marines were a good fit for him, because he liked to blend in.â&#x20AC;? He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, 1 Marine Expeditionary Force based in Twentynine Palms, Calif. In boot camp, he would entertain his comrades by demonstrating his nearly photographic memory by memorizing their social security numbers and weapon serial numbers. Dan nurtured his ability after his deployment in 2007 by memorizing the faces and names of wanted insurgents in Iraq. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His amazing near-photographic memory was a regular asset to his squad,â&#x20AC;? George Hasseltine, captain of the U.S. Marines Corps Company F, wrote in a letter to Gwen and Wayne after Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.
Daniel was scheduled to return home in November for Schelsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding in which he would be an usher. He never got the chance to see his sister walk down the aisle. Daniel was killed on April 2, 2007 while conducting combat operations in Anbar province, Iraq. He was 20.
Randell Voas A career soldier, U.S. Air Force Major Randell Voas of Lakeville served 19 years in the military, which included service in South Korea and Iraq. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a very good marine,â&#x20AC;? said his father, Dwaine Voas, an Army veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had good common sense, was very honest and had good integrity.â&#x20AC;? As a child growing up in Eden Prairie, Randy was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyâ&#x20AC;? who enjoyed the outdoors and youth sports, Randy Voas Dwaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always would stay busy doing things, and had lots of friends, and was a good student,â&#x20AC;? he said. After graduating from Eden Prairie High School in 1985, Randy enrolled at the University of Minnesota where he earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in biology. In 1991, Randy decided to enlist in the U.S. Army to fly helicopters. He spent seven years in the Army before switching to the Air Force where he was assigned to the 8th Special Operation Squadron in Hurlburt Field, Fla. Though he took a career path in the military, Randy continued to further his education while in the Air Force by earning his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in business administration in 2009. While he was a disciplined soldier when on duty, Randy was a kind-hearted friend, father and husband. Kathy Smith, 44, befriended Randy in high school and reconnected with him several years ago through Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a great person and did wonderful things for our country,â&#x20AC;? she said. Smith describes Randy as a family man who always put his wife of 18 years, Jill, and children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Madeline (now 18) and Mitchel (now 14) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;His children were everything to him,â&#x20AC;? she said. Madeline graduated this week from high school in Fort Walten Beach, Fla. near the base where Randy was stationed. He was never able to see his children receive their diplomas. Randy was killed on April 9, 2010 when his Osprey Aircraft crashed in Afghanistan. He was 43. After his death, Voasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends established the Randell Voas Scholarship Award, which provides scholarships to Eden Prairie High School seniors who share qualities similar to Randyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. These are just five of the many men and women who have given their lives for their country in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This Memorial Day, we honor them and many others who have died in these and past conflicts. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Poster contest winners Winners of the Dakota County anti-drug/violence poster contest were recognized at a May 18 ceremony at the Dakota County Northern Service Center. Posters from the 12 winners will appear in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 calendar. Student/from 1A and political science. She credits her interest in statistics to SES teacher Gretchen Pederson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(She) really inspired me to want to pursue my passion for math,â&#x20AC;? Oakes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With statistics, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, because all of the topics we studied here at school
Traffic violators throughout Dakota County were greeted by the highest ranking law enforcement officers the afternoon of May 23 when chiefs from every city in Dakota County, as well as the Dakota County Sheriff, participated in a traffic saturation aimed at getting motorists to buckle up. The third annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;alumni event,â&#x20AC;? organized by the Dakota County Traffic Safety Project kicked off a statewide â&#x20AC;&#x153;Click It or Ticketâ&#x20AC;? seat belt enforcement campaign. From May 23 to June 5 around 400 agencies statewide will participate in the effort to increase seat belt use and reduce fatal and serious injury crashes. From 2005 to 2009, 78 motor vehicle occupants were killed in vehicle crashes in Dakota County, and 33 of these victims were not buckled up. The goal of the Dakota County Traffic Safety Project is to reduce these numbers through visibility, education, and enforcement. The Dakota County Traffic Safety Project holds traffic saturations four times a month where officers from all Dakota County law enforcement agencies pitch in and enforce traffic laws.

are backed by an ocean of statistical data, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited to dive in and try to make sense of it all.â&#x20AC;? Oakes said her speech will focus on the sense of community that the school builds and lessons beyond the classroom that teachers instill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SES means the world to me, and has done so much
for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opened so many doors and has helped instill confidence that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had before,â&#x20AC;? Oakes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my time to say thank you, to the school, the teachers, and of course, the entire class for making this journey such a blast.â&#x20AC;?

Apple Valley. From there, she spent the next 12 years touring the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choral departments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; moving to Apple Valley High, Eagan and then Eastview. Sagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to move to Eastview was largely driven by the opportunity to teach her own children, Brent and Amy Jo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to be able to watch them grow and attend activities right here,â&#x20AC;? Sagen said. Brent graduated from Eastview in 2001 and Amy Jo in 2003. Both followed their parents footsteps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brent as a financial advisor like his father, Mike, and Amy Jo a music teacher like Sagen. Sagen said the most challenging part of teaching is working through teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ups and downs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to know all the things happening outside of school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music is something that they can use as a diversion from everyday trials and tribulations.â&#x20AC;? Fellow Eastview choir director Greg Douma describes Sagen as a driven teacher who is deeply committed to her students and community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real inspiration to colleagues and her students,â&#x20AC;? said Douma, who has worked alongside Sagen for nearly a decade. Upon retiring, Sagen plans to start a Minnesota Valley Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choral, similar to the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choral in Apple Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to start something new and set the stage for a new venture in music,â&#x20AC;? she said. Previously, Sagen has been instrumental in forming several musical groups within District 196, including Bravo at Eastview, and OnStage and Encore at Rosemount and Eagan high schools, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a special ability to dream something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great and figure out how to get there,â&#x20AC;? Douma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of a great educator.â&#x20AC;?
IN BRIEF A â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacy concertâ&#x20AC;? featuring several of Judy Sagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former students will be held Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. at Eastview High School, 6200 140th St., Apple Valley. For more information, contact Eastviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main office at (952) 431-8922. An open house for Sagen is scheduled for 5-9 p.m. June 3 at Enjoy! Restaurant at 15435 Founders Lane in Apple Valley. For more information, contact Mike Atherton at (612) 581-4603.
Sagen also plans to continue teaching after retiring by serving as an adjunct at the University of Minnesota where she will teach a course and oversee student teachers during the second semester. Douma said he is not surprised Sagen will continue teaching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is extremely driven,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retirement is not the end of a career these days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of something new, and I have no doubt that one door will lead to another for her.â&#x20AC;? Though she looks forward to starting anew this summer, Sagen said she will miss teaching in District 196. Sagen said she will most miss interacting with stu-
dents and colleagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I look back, I realize time really flies,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a great career here.â&#x20AC;? A â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacy concertâ&#x20AC;? featuring some of Sagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former students will be held Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. at Eastview High School at 6200 140th St. in Apple Valley.
