Mentorship smooths life’s bumpy road Kids ’n Kinship pair meet milestones – graduation from mentorship program and high school by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dante Lundstrom and John Elder are familiar with bumpy roads. Lundstrom, a Rosemount High School senior, and Elder, a Bloomington man currently trekking 900 miles on his bicycle to raise money for Apple Valleybased Kids ’n Kinship, have shared a unique bond these past six years. Kids ’n Kinship paired the two when Lundstrom was 12 years old and his mother, LaDawn Lundstrom, thought her son could benefit from having an adult male role model in his life. “I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor than John,” Dante Lundstrom said last week. As Lundstrom has turned 18 and is preparing for graduation day on Saturday, the official weekly Kids ’n Kinship meetings with his mentor have ended, but the two remain close friends. The time they have spent together helped Lundstrom stay positive when times were tough. “He’s been there,” Lundstrom said of Elder. “I went through a lot in the last few years. He was always

The event includes entertainment, appearances by local dignitaries and plenty of refreshments. This is the sixth consecutive year Elder has organized the ride, which trails like a pinwheel through Iowa, stopping in Des Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and Clinton. “Kids ’n Kinship is such a wonderful, worthwhile organization,” Elder said. “It makes our pedaling easier knowing that we are doing something that will directly benefit the children in our own communities.” Kids ’n Kinship Director Jan Belmore said the money raised by the ride See Bikes, 20A

Classroom with a world view Student takes school with her to Peru and life after graduation by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When many people recall their high school years, they might remember a particular classroom or school building. For students at the School of Environmental Erica Bucki Studies, it might be hard to pinpoint that place because they view their classroom as the world. Eagan resident Erica Bucki could find her special place in her science labs, in the ponds around Eagan, or Machu Picchu, Peru, where she returned from this week on an SES field study program. “I really liked being able to take the school to a new place and still have it feel like SES,” Erica said of the trip. “We had a great group of kids go as well as two SES alumni.” As one of the school’s two class speakers who addressed their classmates at Thursday’s graduation ceremony, Erica experienced in Peru the kinds of attributes graduating seniors are expected to possess.

The event touched off a debate about ecotourism and allowing animals to be independent. “It was awesome to see how the school has changed us – not in our decisions or opinions, but we could all make valid points and everyone was very into the discussion,” Erica said. “That’s the kind of learner that SES turns kids into.

Officers shut down marijuana-growing operation in Rosemount Felony charges follow bust that turned up plants, growing equipment by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A 36-year-old Rosemount man was charged on May 26 with two felony drug counts for allegedly having a marijuana-growing operation in his residence. Daniel William Wain faces two fifthdegree controlled substance crime charges and one petty misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia after Dakota County Drug Task Force agents and Rosemount officers executed a narcotics search warrant April 28. During the search of the house in the 3400 block of 144th Street West, officers found 17 marijuana plants in various states of growth and 418 grams of marijuana in plastic bags,

according to the criminal complaint. After officers knocked and heard no response, they forced the door of the house open with a breaching device and found Wain inside along with a woman who was not named in the complaint. Wain admitted to officers that he was solely responsible for the growing operation in his residence and that the marijuana was for his personal use. Also found in the house were a blower fan, a timer, grow light and two electronic ballasts in a thirdstage grow room. The maximum sentence if Wain is found guilty of all charges is 10 years and/or $20,300 in fines. Tad Johnson is at editor. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Delayed state aid forces District 196 to borrow $15 million by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will borrow $15 million in July to avoid a potential cash flow shortfall General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

created by delayed state aid. In a 5-0 vote on May 24, the School Board approved issuing $15 million in aid anticipation certificates, which are loans that help school districts alleviate cash flow issues and are to be repaid using state aid. Mike Roseen was absent from the meeting. “It’s unfortunate we are in this position,” Board Member Art Coulson said. “And we are not alone.” Coulson said he takes issue with some state of-

ficials accusing local governments of mismanaging their funds. “This is not our doing,” he said. “It’s a problem of their doing.” This will be the first time District 196 has ever issued aid anticipation certificates, which the district intends to repay in six months, said Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196. Solomon estimates that approximately 70 percent of school districts nationwide have, at some time, used some sort of cash flow borrowing.

If District 196 doesn’t acquire aid anticipation certificates, it will have a negative cash balance for 52 days between July 8 and Aug. 29, according to recent projections. The district is projected to have a negative cash flow of $11.7 million in August. This shortfall is a result of about $68 million in cash flow being pulled from the school district over the past two years, which is due to delays in state aid payments, Solomon said. Though the loan will

help the district while it awaits delayed state aid, the district will incur fees totaling $57,625. However, the district could earn interest on the aid by investing for four to six months. “But investment rates are quite low,” Solomon said. The certificates are currently being put up for sale by the Ehlers financial advisory firm. The bids will be reviewed by the board in June. The School Board also is considering pulling a line of credit, which the

district would borrow from on an as-needed basis. “We see the line of credit as a safety net,” Solomon said, adding that a line of credit has a higher interest rate than aid anticipation certificates. When asked if he believes a potential government shutdown will negatively affect the school district, Solomon said he does not expect it to be. Based on previous experiences, it’s unlikely that a government shutdown See District 196, 20A

The incident occurred on May 19 when Butler Marti-

nez was allegedly driving fast and then slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting a 5-year-old boy riding a bicycle. The father of Butler the boy said that Martinez after he saw that his son was uninjured Butler Martinez exited the vehicle, stood in front of the car and waved the knife, according to the complaint. Butler Martinez then drove off, but the man phoned police with a description. When officers located the

suspect’s car about two blocks from the park, they spoke to Butler Martinez, who said he stomped on his brakes to avoid hitting a kid on a bike and then a man was yelling and running in his direction. Butler Martinez said he exited his vehicle with a knife, held it up in his hand, but did not take it out of its case. The maximum sentence for the charges is 12 years and/or $24,000 in fines.

Three Burnsville businesses are resurrecting a concert series that will make summer weekends last a little longer. The Sunday-night Heart of the City Music in the Park series kicks off on June 19 with the School of Rock Road Crew. It will continue on consecutive Sundays through Aug. 14. Organizers have assembled an adventurous lineup of Twin Cities talent, with sounds ranging from hard rock to classic jazz to “newgrass.� All shows are at 7 p.m. at Nicollet Commons Park in Burnsville’s Heart of the City. Admission is free. “It’s a great way to not only promote, but to entertain our community in our back yard,� said Sandra Schlaefer, president of King and Cos., an employee benefit firm and independent insurance agency located at Nicollet Plaza in the Heart of the City. Schlaefer, who also lives in Burnsville, got the ball rolling after inquiring with the city about promotional opportunities tied to events at Nicollet Commons Park. Sunday-night concerts at the park date back to 2006, when the board of the Lake Alimagnet Center for the Arts used a small portion of its allocation of city funds to

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Can you take South St. Paul out of the boy? by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

“From Eagan to presidential candidate,� read the headline in last week’s Thisweek. Actually, Tim Pawlenty’s roots aren’t in Eagan, his adopted home, but the old stockyard city of South St. Paul. His book and stump speeches take pains to point out the Republican candidate for president has humble, blue-collar roots. Son of a truck driver whose mother died when Tim was young, first member of his Polish, Catholic family to graduate from college. It makes a good bio for someone who aspires to become the leader of a country where, we are proud of saying, even a poor kid can become president. And therein lies the big ques-

tion I have about the guy. How did he get from there to where he is? How did a poor, Polish, Catholic kid become a conservative, evangelical Christian champion of cutting the taxes that pay for services so important to those living in the circumstances Pawlenty escaped? I know people change. But I find it curious that a guy can change that much. I grew up in circumstances not that different from those of our former governor. We lived in the blue-collar town of Bay City, Mich., where my father changed tires and oil on trucks for a small freight hauler. My five siblings and I were raised Catholic because my Polish mother took charge of things spiritual, and my German-Lutheran father

brought home the bacon. Actually, he was able to save on bacon by raising vegetables, chickens and rabbits on our four acres just outside of town. Harold Werner was proud of the money he saved by feeding his family home-grown produce, chicken and, yes, rabbit prepared a dozen different ways by Mom. “Some weeks, all we have to buy is milk and day-old bread,� he would boast to relatives who complained about their grocery bills. We were poor, but, as people raised similarly like to say, we didn’t know we were poor. I didn’t know how poor we were until the day I got a copy of my father’s W-2 so I could apply for a college loan. I’ll never get over the shock of learning that my father raised six kids on $7,000 a year.

One of my father’s proudest days was when he attended my commencement ceremony at Michigan State University. I, like our former governor, was the first member of my family to earn a college degree. Circumstances like those shaped me and the way I look at life. Despite recurring doubts and questions, I’ve remained Catholic, and I still head for northeast Minneapolis to get my Polish sausage for Christmas and Easter. (“Holy rope,� my dad called it.) Having drifted over the years into management jobs and entrepreneurial ventures, I’ve seen threats to business from toopowerful unions and zealous government regulators. But there are some aspects of who I was that will always be. The most significant is the em-

pathy I feel for those who haven’t escaped poverty, as Gov. Pawlenty and I have. And despite his tough talk about cutting government services so important to those most vulnerable, I hope our former governor will think about where he came from and how privileged he is to be where he stands today. In other words, I hope there is still some of that South St. Paul boy in the man from Eagan. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of the Dakota County Tribune and Thisweek Newspapers. He can be reached at larry. werner@ecm-inc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Wardlow: Voters sent us to rein in spending growth To the editor: Last week, Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed our balanced budget plan. The plan would have increased state spending 6 percent (nearly $3 billion), utilizing revenue growth under existing tax levels. It raised education funding 3.2 percent, provided $570 million more in health and human services funding, and offered tax relief to businesses and middle-income Minnesotans. The voters sent us to St. Paul to rein in unsustainable state spending growth and make sure government

lives within its means. In these tough economic times, families are struggling to make ends meet. Businesses are downsizing and innovating to deal with a sluggish market. Government must do the same. I will stand firm as we head for a special session. We must control spending and end cyclical deficits in this state. No one wants to hear divisive political rhetoric, and no one wants to see the government shut down over a billion-dollar tax increase. The bottom line is this: Increasing taxes to fuel government growth is irresponsible – especially when the economy is struggling to recover.

This debate is about what Minnesota can afford today, tomorrow and 10 years from now. It is about creating a state where businesses grow jobs and thrive, where families have confidence in our economy and community institutions, and where our children wake up every day to a brighter Minnesota. Prosperity is the result of Minnesotans pursuing their dreams and helping their neighbors in need with generosity of spirit, not government programs. I hope the governor will recognize this fact as negotiations move forward.

To the editor: On Wednesday morning, May 18, I attended a Realtor forum presented by the city of Apple Valley at the Municipal Center to inform Realtors about the many services and benefits of living in the city of Apple Valley. The program was put on by city staff, Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, the Apple Valley City Council, Police Chief Scott Johnson and School District 196 Superintendent Jane Berenz. Over 60 Realtors attended the well-planned program. DOUG WARDLOW Much to my surprise, District 38B state represen- early in the program the tative, Eagan mayor invited me to come forward. When she called my name I wondered what it was all about and hesitated to step forward. The mayor made nice comments about my longtime community service and promotion of the city of Apple Valley. Then City Manager Tom Lawell read a proclamation designating May 18, 2011, as William H. Tschohl Day in Apple Valley. Needless to say I was overwhelmed by this honor. It would be difficult to personally thank all those involved or to respond to the many telephone calls, emails and congratulatory cards I have received. The response to this recognition just reinforces the decision ďż˝ ďż˝ we made in 1979 to move our family to Apple Valley and begin my 32-year career in real estate. As my wife, Nancy, and I have said many times, this was the best decision we could have made. We are fortunate to have such capable people at the city of Apple Valley looking out for our best interests. And with the leadership in District 196 it has made it much easier over the years to bring thousands of home buyers to the city of Apple Valley.

Thank you, city of Apple Valley

There are many civic organizations you can join to continue to improve life in Apple Valley. I encourage everyone to become more involved as a supporter of the community. I have enjoyed my association with our St. Paul Association of Realtors, the Apple Valley Rotary Club, the Knights of Columbus, the Minnesota Valley In-Fisherman Club and the Boy Scouts of America. Thanks again for the great honor. It is easy to promote and enjoy such a great city. BILL TSCHOHL Apple Valley

Is the state moving forward? To the editor: To say the least, I was totally underwhelmed by Rep. Tara Mack’s self-congratulatory letter (May 27) and revision of history in which she heaped platitudes on the Legislature for the nonsession which just came to a grinding ‌ special session. Mack failed to mention that the GOP began with a promise to create jobs. Result: None. They did present a constitutional amendment barring gays from marrying (forget that we already have that law on the books). And photo IDs (cost to the state around $8 million) in a state which is revered nationally for the integrity of the vote. That one merely disenfranchises the elderly, students, and minorities to keep them from the polls. They pulled the “Shoot Firstâ€? bill at the last minute, in the face of opposition from every police and law enforcement agency. They stuck to the “no new taxesâ€? failed philosophy of Tim Pawlenty, who left us $5 billion in the hole, requiring additional property taxes (especially harm-

ful to those with fixed incomes) and “fees� as well as a bunch of accounting gimmicks. (Their logic: If it’s a fee, you don’t have to count it.) They dance to the tune of those who already pay less taxes than the majority, and refuse to consider leveling the playing field. They are killing local government assistance, higher education funding, keeping thousands off the health care rolls, to mention a few, refuse to compromise with Gov. Mark Dayton even though he offered a substantial reduction in his original proposal. Next up – kill the legacy amendment, ignore the infrastructure, forget the need to improve early childhood education, fill the emergency rooms with people without health care, and the beat goes on. Mack states, “as we move forward,� without the slightest realization that this Legislature is only interested in moving in reverse. How do you spell Mississippi? ALAN MILLER Eagan

Garage sale organizers urged to donate 5 percent To the editor: The first Saturday in June will once again bring us South River Hills Day. This 38-year tradition of 100 or more garage sales, art/craft sales, food booths and much more coincides for the first time ever with the Burnsville CommunityWide Garage Sale as a part of I Love Burnsville Week. When South River Hills Day was started the founders had the wisdom to ask all participants to donate at least 5 percent of their individual sales to a local school See Letter, 8A

Concert Series/from 4A Select School of Rock students who perform as the School of Rock Road Crew will kick off the series on June 19. “That’s an auditioned School of Rock band, and they’re fantastic,� said Mendis, who once sang professionally with the Detroit Opera Company. Her own band, Melody and the Dramatics — which Mendis describes as a fusion of jazz, rock, Latin and soul — takes the stage on July 10. Other performers include contemporary folk trio Lingua Luna, which Mendis said has a “newgrass� vibe; Time Turners, an old-school country duo; jazz singer Alison Lund, who will be backed by indie-popsters the Queen of France; veteran Twin Cities jazz vocalist Lee Engele; and the grunge erainfluenced Space Hazards. “It was really fun programming it because I love bringing out the local talent, creating just an eclectic fusion of different styles so there’s something for everyone,� Mendis said. Organizers are seeking business sponsors for individual evenings. Sponsorships are $100 for businesses that participate in a Heart of the City e-marketing program and $150 for other businesses, Schlaefer said. Sponsors that signed on early are Milio’s in the Heart of the City (also the licensed food vendor in Nicollet Commons Park) and Burnsville-based Pawn America. The money will go to the bands. “It’s really pennies,� Mendis said, “but it’s good exposure for the bands and really great for Burnsville to have live music.�

Machacek Niebuhr Letter/from 6A or charity. Over the years that little 5 percent has added up to over $100,000 donated here locally, primarily to William Byrne Elementary, Metcalf Junior High, B. Robert Lewis House and Kennelly House. This wonderful community event simply would not happen without the help of more than 40 volunteers who truly make South River Hills Day possible. Our local business sponsors, including long-standing supporters Cornerstone Copy Center and River Hills Automotive, and first-year sponsor Touch of Home Furnishings are also great examples of giving back to our Burnsville community. As co-chairs of this entirely volunteer-run event we offer a challenge to the 75 Community-Wide Garage Sale participants to follow the tradition of the South River Hills Day founders and donate at least 5 percent of your sales this year to a local charity or school. That would be a great way to “put our money where our mouth is� and show just how much we all love Burnsville. See you on June 4, rain or shine. HOWARD and KAREN HEINO Burnsville

Woman charged with prostitution, selling pot to undercover officer A 20-year-old woman faces drug and prostitution charges after her arrest in a Burnsville police prostitution sting.

posted on a website under the name “Kat.� She agreed to come to an apartment in Burnsville. The ad said she was “fourtwenty friendly,� which police say refers to using marijuana. Bloxson offered the officer both sexual services for

$175 and a baggie of marijuana for an agreed-upon price of $45, according to the criminal complaint. She’s charged with a fifth-degree controlled-substance crime, a felony, and prostitution, a misdemeanor. — John Gessner

Farmington’s Fogarty helps bridge the gap to dental care for the poor

by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington City Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty needed political action before she could pursue her professional ambitions and fulfill her desire to help poor children receive dental care. Fogarty, a dental hygienist, said she grew concerned when she consistently saw the poor and uninsured delay dental care because they were unable to afford it. In most cases, pain would eventually force them into a dentist’s chair, but the severity of the problem and financial constraints reduced their options to pulling the tooth. “Ultimately, that is not good dental health. I have a desire to help those people get basic dental care,� Fogarty said.

In 2009, Minnesota became the first state in the country to allow dental therapists to practice; now there are 22 other states pursuing similar programs, Fogarty said. Minnesota’s dental therapists are required to have 60 percent of their clients on public assistance, uninsured or under-insured. Licensed dental thera

pists can perform all services for baby teeth and certain services for adult teeth, including fillings, crowns and emergency treatment. Once Fogarty completes the required 2,000 hours of clinical experience as a dental therapist, she plans to become a certified advanced dental therapist.

authorization of a collaborating dentist. Fogarty, who is working on her capstone project of creating a framework for the Dental Therapy Association and graduates June 24, said she hopes to use her new skills to provide dental care for indigent children without insurance coverage. She said nationally, children miss 52 million hours of school as a direct result of needing medical attention for dental health issues. “That statistic has always stuck in my head. It’s heartbreaking to think that a kid can’t go to school because he can’t get to a dentist to fix it,� Fogarty said. “This might not be a silver bullet, but it’s one more tool in the tool box to help these kids get more services.�

Thisweekend Eagan Market Fest kicks off June 8 Weekly event on Wednesdays at Central Park offers food, music, family fun by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Eagan Market Fest returns this summer with an expanded schedule, additional concessions and a new pavilion. The weekly, city of Eagan-run event that’s part farmers’ market and part community festival will kick off its fifth season from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 8, at the Eagan Festival Grounds at Central Park, 1501 Central Parkway. Each Wednesday throughout the summer, fest-goers can select from an array of fresh fruit, vegetables and produce, purchase dinner from one of three concession vendors and enjoy live music at the Eagan Rotary Band Shell. “Wednesday nights at Central Park are a perfect night to get outdoors, take a walk and enjoy the food and entertainment at Market Fest,� said Juli Seydell

Johnson, Eagan Parks and Recreation director. In addition to food items, the event features a host of artisan products such as jewelry, woodcrafts and garden art. Each week also features art activities for kids sponsored by the Eagan Art House, as well as an outdoor games area for families with a beanbag toss, sack races and parachutes. To get kids into the spirit of the weekly concerts at the Eagan Rotary Band Shell, hula hoops and inflatable guitars – for exuberant air-guitar theatrics – will be provided. Theme nights return to this year’s festival, including Classic Car Show & Oldies Music Night on June 22, which will feature Elvis tribute artist Art Kistler; Family Night on July 6 with a teen battle of the bands and concert by family act the Okee Dokee Brothers; and

Health and Wellness Night on July 27. A new promotion this year is Bike to the Market – people who ride their bikes to Market Fest on June 8, 15, 22 or 29 will receive a $5 voucher good for purchasing produce at the event. The festival has seen continued growth since its inception a half decade ago when it had about a dozen regular vendors and drew about 3,000 people over the course of the summer. Organizers estimated last summer’s overall attendance at 28,000, and this summer more than 60 vendors registered. With food vendors, the focus is on local, said Kerry Phillips, coordinator of Eagan Market Fest “We’re a producers’ market,� she said. “Everything is locally grown and produced, and all of our farms are local farms.� Opening night June 8

will include a bag giveaway at 4 p.m., seedlings and children’s book giveaways at 6:30 p.m., and an Arbor Day celebration and community planting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Admission to Eagan Market Fest is free. This year’s festival runs June 8 to Sept. 28 for a total of 17 days – five more than last year. The festival starts the summer season with some good karma – at the end of last season it was listed as one of America’s Favorite Farmers Markets by American Farmland Trust. Festgoers can help put Eagan Market Fest back on that list this year by voting at www.farmland.org/vote. More information is at www.cityofeagan.com/marketfest. Photo submitted

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE

As a Section 3AAA semifinalist, the Burnsville baseball team is two wins from returning to the state tournament. After advancing to state last year, Blaze players didn’t know if they would have the chance again. With returning stars Matt Stemper, Dan Motl, Derek Johnson, Andy Lieser and Justin Threlkeld, the Blaze knew they could score. The challenge was to replace 14 wins from last year’s senior pitchers. Quinn Johnson and Brian Vanderwoude returned to the mound, but to rise to the top the team needed more than two strong arms. Most teams seek talent from their junior varsity squad, but Burnsville had a secret out on the links. Adam Lambrecht played traveling baseball during the summer, but his chosen varsity sport in the spring was golf. Lambrecht scored in the upper 70s in 2010 for the Blaze, but he found himself looking forward to summer baseball. “My velocity improved a lot over the winter,” Lambrecht said. “I played with most of the Target Field guys (Burnsville state tournament players) last summer. I get along real well with those guys. It’s been a

lot of fun.” He started his first game against Eagan on April 8, earning the win, and he’s been throwing strikes ever since. He’s compiled a 6-0 record with a 1.43 ERA and 38 strikeouts, leading the team in every category. He was named all conference and has made the Blaze more of a threat in 2011. The transformation is impressive because golf and baseball don’t have the same skill set. It’s not like making a transition from hockey to lacrosse or cross country to track. The fact that baseball is a team sport is attractive to Lambrecht. “You’re just alone on a golf course,” Lambrecht said. “Nothing compares to having teammates.” When golfers hit poor shots into the sand, all they can do is hang their heads and sigh while they mark it on the card. In baseball, if a pitch goes wild into the dirt, the catcher will back it up. It also helps when a team like the 2011 Blaze averages about nine runs per game. It’s a much more pleasant situation for Lambrecht who was admittedly too hard on himself on the golf course. “It’s just a recreational

weekend thing for me now,” Lambrecht said. “I’ve decided to shut down the competitive golf.” Count Burnsville coach Mick Scholl as a fan of Lambrecht’s decision. “He’s definitely a kid who can help us out,” Scholl said. “I’m certainly glad he chose our sport.” The Blaze came into the Section 3AAA playoffs as the No. 1 seed with a better record than a year ago. Lambrecht finished off the final inning of five in the 13-0 rout over Rosemount in the Section 3AAA quarterfinals on Monday. It only took the Blaze four innings to score 13 runs. Johnson earned the victory with four scoreless innings. Lieser (3-for-3, RBI and a triple), Stemper (home run, two RBI) and Motl (three runs scored, triple and two RBI) made sure the Blaze weren’t going to be eliminated. The loss ends Rosemount’s season. The first two rounds are single elimination, which isn’t everyone’s favorite format. “I don’t like it,” Scholl said. “It puts the kids in a tight spot, but it’s my job to help them relax.” The Blaze spent the pregame tailgating in the parking lot before the Rosemount game while trying to focus on the sun rather than fear of losing. “It’s about just having

The Blaze, previously undefeated in the section playoff, had a chance to redeem the loss and qualify for state by winning the second game, which started right after the loss Wednesday night after this edition went to press. In the first game, both teams scored in the 14th inning and Jefferson’s winning run came when a runner scored from first on a double into the outfield gap.

son. He threw in the team’s 4-1 win against Park of Cottage Grove on Monday for the first time in almost two months. A few more timely hits and Eastview would have felt more comfortable. “We got out of a couple tight spots,” Strey said. “We had a few double plays that got us out of a jam, but we left like 12 guys on base.” As the No. 2 seed, Eastview is a Section 3AAA semifinalist. The team will play No. 3 seed St. Thomas Academy on Friday at Alimagnet Field in Burnsville. The final four teams play in a double-elimination bracket. The winner advances to state. The other two teams are No. 5 seed Eagan and No. 1 Burnsville. Eagan defeated Apple Valley 6-5 on Monday. During the regular season Eastview swept Eagan and split with Burnsville. Eastview has made a habit of advancing to the final four in the past five years. The last time the Lightning had a sub-.500 record was in 2007, otherwise they have been a contender every year. “Anything can happen,” Strey said. “We have guys who know what it’s all about.” Getting through the final four has proved to be difficult. Eastview has never qualified for state. McDevitt joins an already potent pitching lineup with Alec Knop, Adam Moorse, Tom Jerle, and Austin Lindquist. The Lightning have given up more than three runs only five times this season. “The sky is the limit for us right now,” McDevitt said. “All of them are capable of getting the job done when it matters.” He’s just happy he can help instead of watching from the dugout.

When doctors told Eastview’s Ty McDevitt he wasn’t going to pitch this spring and probably not this summer, he didn’t believe them. He was diagnosed with scapular weakness in his shoulder in late April, which to most people meant his next pitch was going to be for the University of Minnesota as a freshman in college. His shoulder hurt, but the pain of not playing was worse. “It was almost like my shoulder was just floating there,” McDevitt said. “My first couple outings in April were interesting. There was probably less than 1 percent chance that I could come back, but I just stuck to the rehab program.” McDevitt didn’t want to leave Eastview High School without pitching again. He believes the Lightning have a chance at something special during the playoffs. “I really didn’t want to miss this,” McDevitt said. He didn’t need surgery, just hours and hours of rehab and rest. “It was a ridiculous amount of arm exercises,” McDevitt said. “It was about a month and a half of hardcore rehab.” With some consultation from Minnesota Twins doctor Dan Buss, McDevitt made what many would call a stunning recovery. “It’s pretty amazing,” Eastview head coach Tom Strey said. “It really is. He worked really hard. No one thought he was going to play this spring or even summer.” McDevitt didn’t wake up cured one day. He said he spent about five hours per day stretching, lifting weights and eventually pitching. It remains to be seen how effective he can be in Rogers is at what could be the last few Andy games of Eastview’s sea- andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Students make ‘Hero Packs’ for children of soldiers

Hidden Valley Elementary and Harriet Bishop Elementary have both been awarded $3,000 to support physical activity programs in their schools during the 201112 school year thanks to the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, which aims to get students to “fuel up� with nutritious foods and be active for at least 60 minutes each day. Hidden Valley will purchase equipment needed by the Mileage Club, an afterschool running and activity club that meets during the school year. Harriet Bishop will buy

As a way to show support for a classmate whose father will be deployed overseas for a year, second-graders at Harriet Bishop Elementary spent time this month creating Hero Packs. Students in Erika Nesvig’s second-grade classroom collected supplies including books, journals, markers, stationery and more to create the backpacks, which will be distributed to children of deployed soldiers through an organization called Operation: Military Kids. Students in the class also wrote and included letters of encouragement to the children who will receive the packs. In total, with help from

Hidden Valley Elementary spends learning day at ELC

BHS seniors receive scholarships and awards

A rainy morning didn’t dampen the second annual Hidden Valley Elementary all-student field trip to the McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center in Savage in May. Students and teachers took advantage of the 10-acre natural area to participate in several life and environmental science lessons, including learning about the food chain, macro-invertebrates, water plant identification, bird behavior, pollution and much more. All students toured the new center and learned about its green design and sustainable architecture.

Scholarships and awards were presented to students during the 2011 Senior Honors Recognition Ceremony at Burnsville High School on May 16. Seniors received scholarships from local civic organizations, businesses and individuals. In addition, 48 seniors reported that they will receive scholarships of $10,000 or more from colleges and universities they will attend next fall. Each academic department at the high school presented an outstanding senior award. Seniors also received specific awards for their achievements in academics, athletics and the arts. For a complete list of The M.W. Savage Elemenscholarship and award recipients, go to www.isd191.org. tary School student council is raising money for the Special Olympics as part of its annual

M.W. Savage student council supports Special Olympics

community outreach project, but council members didn’t have to reach far to find the inspiration for their efforts. M.W. Savage fifth-grader Terrence Montour was one of the stars of this spring’s regional and state Special Olympics swim meets. At regionals, Montour placed first in the 25-meter unassisted swim and went on to place third in the event at the state level. He also took home second place in the 15-meter unassisted swim at the regional level. Now that swimming season is over, Montour is on the track, competing in the long jump, 50-yard dash, and 100yard dash. In honor of their classmate, the student council is asking students, employees and families to donate a different coin denomination each day of the week: pennies on Monday, nickels on Tuesday, dimes on Wednesday, quarters on Thursday, and dollars on Friday. Any student who donates a dollar on Friday will receive special permission to wear a hat during school.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.

by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A self-described history buff, Jeff Appelquist has spent nearly two years advising executives on how to be effective leaders through his columns published in the Dakota County Tribune. But by fall 2010, Appelquist decided that Tribune readers weren’t enough; he wanted to reach beyond the county boundaries. So the Apple Valley resident spent three months compiling 40 columns into his latest book, “Wisdom Is Not Enough: Reflections on Leadership and Teams,� which received a National Indie Excellence Book Award. “It’s very gratifying to be honored by those in the industry,� said Appelquist, founder and president of Blue Knight Battlefield Seminars. Appelquist emphasizes in the book — published in February — that being an experienced executive is no longer enough in today’s fast-paced economy. Executives must continue to nurture their talents. Too often business leaders go to the same set of skills to solve problems, Appelquist said. “Leaders need to reflect on individual situations,� he said. Whether by drawing parallels between military leaders and corporate executives or by providing sage advice of ancient philosophers, Appelquist often uses history to illustrate his lessons. In some columns, Appelquist illustrates how business leaders can learn from both successful and disastrous decisions made by present and past corporate executives. “The greatest lesson I
