Work was expected overnight this week to accommodate ceremony by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

All-night Highway 3 construction occurred Thursday, June 3 and into Friday, June 4 in an effort to avoid the noisy, dusty work during the Rosemount High School graduation ceremony, June 5. The work is scheduled from 5 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, June 5 at 11 p.m. R o s e m o u n t City Council members unanimously approved the change, requested by McNamara Contracting after the state refused to adjust contracted times for milling the road on and around Highway 3, where the Rosemount High School entrance is located. The company is restricted from interfering with traffic from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m., which McNamara said forces the company to mill overnight or Saturday. Originally, the company planned to mill near the school Saturday, but with an anticipated 2,100 to 2,600 people attending and heavy traffic, as well as concern for the graduates and their families, the company requested the change. The company will still

ROSEMOUNT be working on Highway 3 on graduation day, but will be north of Connemara and the school ceremony. Approximately 500 RHS graduates are expected to line up at 6:30 p.m. and the processional starts at 6:50 p.m. for the 7 p.m. graduation. In an email to C i t y Engineer Andrew Brotzler, McNamara Construction owner Mike McNamara wrote, “If I had time in my schedule to push the construction in this area off a week, believe me I would.” He said the contract carries $2,500 per day liquidated damages. “If I am not milled in this area by the night of the 5th (as I would have to wait until the 12th) it will push my possible completion back a week and put me into at least $17,500 liquidated damages. Again, if MnDOT were flexible this could be alleviated, but they are sticking to the requirements in the contract,” McNamara stated.

Primary for city council will be Aug. 10 by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount voters will again have plenty of candidate choices on election day. For the second time, Rosemount veterinarian Kurt Hansen is challenging Mayor William Droste, who has held the position since 2002. Running against incumbents Kim ShoeCorrigan and Mark DeBettignies for two open city council seats are Tim Judy, Joe Krule, Maila Ellefson and Dennis Winsor. To narrow the field of council candidates, a primary will be held Aug, 10; the top four vote-getters will proceed to the general election Nov. 2. This will mark Rosemount’s first primary election for city offices. The council instituted the ordinance that triggers a primary election earlier this year. To trigger a primary, the number of candidates must be more than double

the number of open seats. In 2008, 26 candidates filed for two vacant council seats. Council members Kurt Bills and Jeff Weisensel were the winners in that race. Bills, a Rosemount High School teacher whose term expires in 2012, is the endorsed Republican candidate challenging Democrat incumbent Phil Sterner for the District 37B seat in the Minnesota House. If Bills wins, a special election would be needed to fill Bills’ vacated city council seat. The cost of the election would depend on staffing, ballot printing and expected turnout, said Rosemount City Clerk Amy Domeier. “I don’t think it would be a great cost, but there is a cost associated with it,” Domeier said. In 2006, Hansen lost in his bid against Droste for mayor, and in 2008 ran against Sterner and Judy Lindsay for the District 37B seat. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Confusion is common at 4 Degrees of Freedom concerts. For audience members, it can sometimes seem like they’re seeing double. “We have to make a conscious effort to wear different clothes because it can get confusing for people,” said Travis Laurent, who fronts the rock/ country trio with his identical twin brother, Kalin. 4 Degrees of Freedom kicks off the free, summerlong Music in Kelley Park concert series with a performance at 6 p.m. Friday, June 11.

Council approves layoff of building inspections employee Workload reduction drove decision by Laura Adelmann

change, the city asked employees in the department to voluntarily reduce their hours and avoid a layoff. Although colleagues offered to share a reduction of 18 hours, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union Representative Chris Cowen said the city never responded to the offer. In a later interview Lindquist said at least 40 hours were needed. If the department staff were able to devise a plan to share reduced hours, City Administrator Dwight Johnson said they would hire Sutter back. However, he noted some people in the department may not financially be able to reduce their work hours.

After about six weeks of union negotiations, Rosemount City Council members unanimously approved on Tuesday laying off a city building inspector. The official, Todd Sutter, is a husband and father who has been with the city for over seven years, but has the least seniority of the 12-person department. Community Development Director Kim Lindquist said the lack of development proposals drove the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have very little development activity occurring this summer, which is usually the precursor for construction next year,â&#x20AC;? Lindquist said. Before making the

Under an agreement with the union, Sutter will receive six-weeks severance pay and retain his medical and dental insurance benefits until April 2011. Lindquist said that if the economy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve, there could be similar problems next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear people say the economy is coming back, but if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, obviously weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping this is the end, obviously.â&#x20AC;?

3/50 program asks residents to spend $50 at three businesses by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount officials may soon introduce a marketing plan aimed at helping independently owned businesses improve their bottom lines. The strategy, dubbed 3/50, asks residents to think of three independent businesses they would miss if they disappeared, and asks that they spend $50 per month at those stores. Members of the Rosemount Business Council are hoping to promote the strategy locally, said Paul Eggen, chair of the RBC. He and Ruthe Batulis, executive director of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, presented the idea to the Rosemount Port Authority on June 1. Eggen said the 3/50

Baxter notes that for every $100 spent at a local store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and various expenditures. Eggen said the Rosemount Business Council plans to bring Baxter in as a luncheon speaker this fall to discuss the possibility of beginning the 3/50 program in Rosemount.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist

I like coffee shops and polite political discourse by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

I’ve mentioned in this space a time or two that a couple of my favorite lunch spots are Mainstreet Coffee Cafe in downtown Lakeville and Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine in Burnsville’s Heart of the City. These businesses have much in common – independent coffee shops by day and wine bars at night, ownership by women with entrepreneurial passion and salads that meet my criteria for rabbit food with a twist. When I walk into Jo Jo’s, the friendly workers get to work on my cranberry walnut salad with chicken, and at Mainstreet, the staff knows I want the Buffalo chicken salad with cashews. But these places offer me more than good food: They are places where you’re likely to encounter local movers and shakers having civil conversation about civic life.

In other words, you can find something at these establishments that is in short supply these days. A few weeks back, while enjoying my salad at Mainstreet, Dave Thompson stopped by my table to exchange a few thoughts about his upcoming race for state Senate. Thompson, a lawyer and former conservative radio host, said it’s nice he and I can be friends even if we disagree on many things political. Dave, a Republican, said he’s heard nice things about Steve Quist, a Farmington Democrat who will be running against Thompson for the District 36 senate seat. That kind of comment is in stark contrast to the name-calling and conspiracy-theorizing that is passed off as political dialogue these days. Which leads me to our annual attempt at civility known as elec-

tion letters. With the filing deadline last Tuesday and the primary Aug. 10, Managing Editor Tad Johnson is bracing himself for the usual blitz of letters from the supporters of candidates. For years, Tad has attempted to enforce the letters policy that sets a 350-word maximum and a deadline of 4 p.m. Tuesday for the Friday edition. The policy, which appears under the “Opinion” button on ThisweekLive.com, includes other criteria, such as a priority for letters by those who haven’t already submitted letters in support of a candidate. We don’t want the letters columns dominated by the same campaign supporters. Included in the policy is this single line that addresses the issue of civility: “Do not submit letters with libelous information or personal attacks.” In the current political environment, it’s sometimes hard to find commentaries that don’t in-

clude personal attacks. Our policy, by the way, does state that while we must limit the number of letters we print in the paper, we will attempt to publish “all suitable letters online.” In fact, our website is a great place for those coffee-shop conversations between people with different views. We have recently redesigned ThisweekLive.com. Our web editor, Dawn Igoe, has made the site much easier to navigate for readers and contributors. Dawn decided to use software called Wordpress, which was originally designed for blogging – the electronic conversations that are part of the Internet. At the bottom of each article or letter is a box that allows you to “leave a comment.” Since we launched the new website in April, many more readers are leaving comments than was the case on the old ThisweekLive. And, I’m happy to report, our page views are up

significantly. The other day, I was watching News Hour on PBS. The nightly news program had a report on a discussion about whether the Internet and cable news have contributed to intelligent discussion of issues or turned the discussion into a paintball fight. One of the experts took the position that any discussion of issues, even nasty uninformed discussion, is contributing to the democratic process. It’s a valid point. But at Thisweek Newspapers, we hope the conversation during the upcoming political season is more suitable to a coffee shop than a bar room. The candidates have all filed. Let the discussion begin. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune. He is at larry.werner@ecm-inc. com.

Letters Don’t cut my program To the editor: It was interesting reading a May 21 letter taking columnist Don Heinzman to task for his criticisms of the Tea Party. The letter writer calls into question the idea that Tea Party supporters would grieve any loss of their Veterans Benefits, Social Security or Medicare. I think it’s a valid question. Why is it that folks like the letter writer think it’s creeping socialism to safeguard our public health by finding ways to give lower-income people medical care? Why is it OK for members of Congress to say they’re glad their relatives have access to Medicare, yet it’s not a good thing to trust government with a bill outlawing denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions? Why was the G.I. Bill a good thing when it helped send them to college, but keeping skyrocketing college costs down for others now is somehow unpatriotic? Why is it OK for these folks to receive Social Security, but bad for the program to care for many other disadvantaged people? I find it duplicitous that a governor who yearns for higher office declines to cooperate with a legislature that restores taxes on the wealthiest among us, yet wants to advertise himself as a supporter of balanced budgets. His statement over a year ago that he had learned a lesson from the 2008 election about the value of funding education somehow rings false in the light of his unallotments. Advocates for the state’s chief executive want to divert us from questioning a philosophy that deregulates industry, when deregulation

has helped create history’s largest oil spill. They want to distract us from questioning special favors for the wealthy and inadequate oversight and repair of our state’s bridges and roads. They work to discredit the value of public education, the better to cut education budgets, require larger class sizes, and in the process devalue our schools. It seems the folks who complain about the excesses of government are fine with the programs as long as they themselves are the beneficiaries.

3-15 percent, and sales growth falls by up to 15 percent. In other words, government spending adversely affects private sector economic activity. That’s where jobs come from, as well as tax revenue. Kline has stood firm in his opposition to earmarks, while his political opponents have tried to paint this policy as bad for Minnesotans. This new Harvard Business School study reveals that a “no earmark” policy is good for Minnesota’s economy.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In 2009, local governments continued a threeyear upward trend of spending on lobbyists. According to reports filed with the Minnesota state auditor, local governments spent $8.8 million on lobbying activities in 2009, an increase of $329,592, or 3.9 percent, over the amount spent on lobbying services in 2008. Dakota County, either as the county or its Regional Rail Authority, reported spending $190,666 on lobbying. The amount includes contracted lobbyists, staff who lobby, and association dues payments, a portion of which are paid to lobbyists on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf. According to the report, Dakota County was one of the 78 governments that paid over $100,000 to hire or contract with lobbyists. The city of Minneapolis led that list, reporting it spent more than $400,000 for lobbyists. Dakota County paid $122,414 for its own lobbyists while Ramsey and Anoka counties spent $137,206

LOBBYING COST Local cities reported spending a total of $112,828 in association dues to lobbyists and lobbying contract fees: Eagan $32,785 Burnsville $22,522 Lakeville $22,122 Apple Valley $21,843 Rosemount $7,080 Farmington $6,476

populations of about 19,000 to 22,750, spent $7,080 and $6,476 respectively for lobbying, also through association dues. Local school districts also reported their lobbyist spending, but did not include payments to professional associations that lobby on behalf of specific professional occupations within local governments, including Education Minnesota. The report states that the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District spent $28,540 on lobbying, while ISD 191, Burnsville-EaganSavage, spent $14,282. Farmington and Lakeville school districts each reported less than $5,000 on lobbying. In the report, State Auditor Rebecca Otto noted the operation and funding of local governments can be greatly affected by decisions made by the state Legislature, and called it understandable that local governments would want representation during the legislative process.

and $188,545, respectively, for similar services. Of Dakota County cities, Eagan led contract/association dues spending, reporting $32,785 spent on lobbying. Burnsville came in second of the Dakota County cities, reporting a total of $22,522 spent for lobbying through association fees. Lakeville and Apple Valley, with similar populations of 50,000 to 54,000 and both anticipating major transportation changes with the Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transit project, each spent around $22,000 for lobbying through association fees in 2009.

Charles A. Ziemer After a courageous battle with lung cancer Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlieâ&#x20AC;? A. Ziemer passed away on May 25, 2010, surrounded by family. Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm for life inspired those around him, and was endeared by all who knew him. Charlie was born on March 4, 1931 in Winona, Minnesota. On June 28, 1948, he married Inez M. Beach in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The couple made their home in Dakota, Minnesota until moving to Goodview, Minnesota in 1964. In 1967, due to transfer of work territory they relocated to Sioux City, Iowa until 1975, at which time they returned to Minnesota, first living in Eagan, and later building a new home in Rosemount and remained there until they retired in 1998. Since 1998, they have split their time between their summer home in Rochester, Minnesota and their winter home in Phoenix, Arizona. Charlie started working for the Milwaukee Railroad on February 14, 1949, and continued to work on the railroad for the next 44 years. In his years on the railroad, he had worked the entire western rail system between Chicago, IL and Tacoma, WA, first as a laborer for the maintenance way then as the foreman for the department beginning in 1955. His welding career with the railroad span many miles of rail for the Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, and the Canadian Pacific railways. After retiring from the railroad, he worked summers for Kaufman Lawn and Tree Service of Rosemount, welding and maintaining all of the equipment until the fall of l998 when he and his wife sold their home in Rosemount and headed south for the winters. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed country music, anything to do with railroads, and camping. He is going to be missed by all who know and loved him. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and friend. We all loved him. He will be deeply missed by his wife of nearly 62 years, Inez; five children, Patricia Ziemer (John Johnson) of Rochester, Minnesota, Raymond Ziemer of La Crosse, Wisconsin, Cheryl (James) Knutson of Mazeppa, Minnesota, Robert Ziemer of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, and Bradley â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buckâ&#x20AC;?

Ziemer; step-grandchild, Tami (Matt) Soens; great grandchild, Cameron Deleon; step great grandchildren, Isabella Soens, and Greta Soens. Two half-sisters, Irene Thompson of LaCrescent, Minnesota, and Anita Calhoun of Winona, Minnesota. He was preceded in death by his mother, Florence, and step-father, Emil Roemer. There will be a memorial service on Sunday, June 6, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. at the Riverside United Methodist Church in Dakota, Minnesota with Pastor Mary Keen officiating.

Rosemount High School to stage show with past, present, future students by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Legacy. We all leave one. A legacy can shine bright like the glow of a spotlight on an otherwise dark stage. The spotlights will shine on many of Rosemount High S c h o o l â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past, present and future stars in the arts when Steve tribute is Boehlke paid to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy with a special performance Friday, June 18. The first Rosemount High School Performing Arts Legacy Gala will feature a night of song, dance acting and the honoring of the first Legacy Award. Steve Boehlke, longtime Rosemount High School choir teacher, was selected as the Performing Arts Hall of Fame awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first recipient. Before the tribute is offered to Boehlke, Rosemount High School students past, present and future will offer a range of performances from instrumental music to acting. The 90-minute show will include pieces from thirdthrough eighth-grade students participating in the week-long Vocalmotion music camp and music and theatrical selections from those who have long since graduated. Proceeds from the show

IN BRIEF The Rosemount High School Performing Arts Legacy Gala will be at 7 p.m. Friday, June 18 in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 and went on sale to the general public Thursday, June 3, through the RHS school web site at www.district196.org/ rhs/theaterarts, or by calling the box office at (651) 423â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7540.

We thought what a neat way to make a statement about how important the arts are at the school and in the community in establishing this.â&#x20AC;? Albaugh, one of the many organizers of the show, said a major challenge

has been deciding what to include in the first performance. Once word spread that the show would include former students, Albaugh said they started getting many phone calls and e-mails from people asking how they could help. He said even though some may not get a chance to perform this year, there will be many more shows to stage in future years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt in thinking about a word that encompasses Rosemount High School and the arts and the word was legacy,â&#x20AC;? Albaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a one year shot.â&#x20AC;? He said it will be important for the Vocalmotion students to see how they can grow in their performance skill by watching the high school students and in Photo by Rick Orndorf turn for the graduating The Rosemount High School Performing Arts Legacy Gala on Friday, June 18 seniors to see that their will include a performance my members of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;role in the arts community doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop when they walk across the stage and receive their diplomas.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The arts plays a vital role in the life of our Vocalmotion, open ceive instruction from RHS week of June 14-18.

Lakeville Art Festival earns state grant

This summer marks the 10th anniversary of outdoor concerts in Caponi Art Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theater in the Woods. Work on the Theater in the Woods began in 1998 after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm of the Centuryâ&#x20AC;? hit the area, blowing down hundreds of trees in the future amphitheater site. It took an entire season to remove the damaged trees and two more seasons to shape the grounds and build the stage. The Theater in the Woods was built with a minimal budget, a Bobcat and by hand, one block at a time. In spite of all the work that went into creating the amphitheater, many say it still looks untouched as though it always has been this way. Family-friendly activities are scheduled throughout the summer to celebrate and mark this milestone. Ring Mountain Creamery will sell ice cream at each event. The Summer Performance Series will bring regional and local artists to the park. All concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Theater in the Woods and a $4 per

The Builders Association of the Twin Cities has contracted with Keystone Report, a local research firm, to maintain a database with information about new residential construction permits around the metropolitan area. After a builder has picked up the permit from a city, Keystone Report compiles and updates weekly residential housing permits by city for 70 percent of the metropolitan-area municipalities in the greater 13-county region. Planned units are the total number of housing units planned to be built under the permits issued (one permits is issued per building which may include more than one housing unit). Permit value does not include the land/lot costs.

May continued the recent positive trend for residential permit statistics. Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permits, units and value showed strong gains over May of 2009, while year-to-date figures also were substantially higher than a year ago. According to statistics compiled by the Keystone Report for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, there were 324 permits pulled for a total of 482 units during the month of May, 2010.

Year-to-date, permits rose by 182 percent, units by 166 percent, and value by 162 percent . One 77-unit project in Minneapolis helped boost multi-family homes up to 38 percent of the total units. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indicators look very promising,â&#x20AC;? said Builders Association of the Twin Cities 2010 President Gary Aulik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mortgage interest rates have dropped to near alltime lows, and the Minneapolis Realtors Association has reported rising home sales

prices for several months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These factors, coupled with a dropping unemployment rate will hopefully offset the expected drop in sales due to ending of the federal stimulus tax credits.â&#x20AC;? Aulik said. Minneapolis led the metro in building activity for the month with 82 units permitted. Blaine followed with 33 units, Maple Grove had 30 units permitted, followed by Shakopee with 29 and Hudson, Wis., with 27.

Twin Cities residential construction continues in positive territory

seventh. Cody Groskruetz hit the game-tying RBI with two outs and two strikes. He plated Mike Radermacher to send the game into extra innings. “Seems like it’s always this way between Eastview and Apple Valley,” Lightning coach Tom Strey said, “a lot of one-run games.” Adam Moorse earned the win, pitching 2.7 shutout innings at the end of the

game. “Apple Valley had been hitting well at the time, and he shut them down,” Strey said. The other section games were delayed because of rain Tuesday. The final four bracket will be reseeded and played at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Friday at Alimagnet Field in Burnsville. Action will pick up again Saturday for a game at noon, 2:30 and 5 p.m. The

final is scheduled at 7 p.m. Tuesday. “Our section is really tough,” Strey said. “Probably four of the top eight teams rated in the state are in there. “We feel good just to be in the final four, especially after being down so bad against Apple Valley.” Apple Valley finished the season with a 12-10 record.

Two of the top singles tennis players in the state decided to bring a friend along for playoffs this year. For the individual tournament Apple Valley’s Joey MacGibbon and Burnsville’s Mya Smith-Dennis decided to combine forces to play with a teammate. Apple Valley’s two-time state participant in the singles category MacGibbon has joined up with junior Matt Bettes to play doubles. “Right now it’s win or go home,” MacGibbon said. “There’s no other year. I’m using all my intensity. “My biggest goal is to take home a state championship.” His longtime rival, Smith-Dennis, has switched to doubles as well with team-

mate Nazhone Wilkins. MacGibbon went to state for singles the past two seasons, but lost in the early rounds. In doubles he figures they have a better chance to advance. “I thought I could make a run at a title this year,” he said. “It’s more about getting further than just getting there.” In doubles, the points are quicker, but players need to stay focused because they’re not always hitting the ball. “The pace is quicker and the strategy is different,” Smith-Dennis said. Smith-Dennis has also been to state as a singles player, in 2008 and 2009. “I felt like playing doubles would give me the best chance at getting a state title and it would be a lot less stressful,” he said.

In singles, it’s all on you if you’re at fault. In doubles there’s someone else to blame. “You’ve got to stay positive with your partner whether it goes good or bad,” MacGibbon said. “It’s not just one person who determines the outcome of the match.” MacGibbon, Bettes, Wilkins and Smith-Dennis have played doubles before, so this isn’t a big transition. And it helps that they all get along. “It’s really fun playing with Nazhone,” Smith-Dennis said. “He’s one of my best friends. I’ve known him since we were little. “He’s very consistent. He knows when to attack and he plays great defense, too.” As a junior, Bettes is in his third year on varsity.

He’s played No. 2 singles every year. “He’s got some oomph behind him,” MacGibbon said. MacGibbon and SmithDennis have been rivals on the court for several years. They were both aware of each other’s intentions of playing doubles for the playoffs. “We talked about it,” MacGibbon said. It didn’t come down to one or the other. Although they both play in Section 3AA, the top two doubles teams qualify for state. Playing doubles gives them a chance for all four to go to state. If they stuck to singles, at best only two would qualify. If they both qualify for state (the section finals were on Wednesday after

Thisweek Newspapers went to press), they won’t see each other again right away at state. They will go to opposite sides of the bracket and wouldn’t see each other until late. The state tournament is scheduled for June 8-11 at Baseline Tennis Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. MacGibbon and Bettes saw their team’s season end on a tough note. The Eagles made it to the Section 3AA finals only to lose to Eagan. “It wasn’t really that close,” MacGibbon said. “They’re honestly just too good. They’re a top three team and we’re around six. They just have too much power.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Lightning win conference title by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley The Eagles have been a perennial contender for a top three spots in the Lake Conference, but last year the team took a dip in the standings with a younger lineup. This season, the team inched back up, placing fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a young team with a promising future,â&#x20AC;? coach Geri Dirth said. Taylor Browning won the title in the 200 and Chanel Miller won the 300-hurdles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of these teams are in our section as well so there is a lot of repetition of competition this year with the conference relays, Eagan Invitational, true team section, conference and section meets,â&#x20AC;? Dirth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team still values the true team concept.â&#x20AC;?

Rosemount

Before the meet coach Sara Hatleliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to finish in the top four, but the team finished in second behind Eastview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best season we have had in a long time,â&#x20AC;? Hatleli said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very proud of our team and what they have done so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more high-end athletes this year as well as more depth with solid second, third and fourth competitors in each event. I think we surprised a few teams this year,â&#x20AC;? she said. Shade Pratt won the conference title in the 400 and she helped the 4x400 relay win the title. Katie Murgic was the champion in the pole vault. The conference championships were extremely important to the girls, according to Hatleli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lake Conference is one of the toughest conferences in the state, so all of our athletes are excited to compete and are hoping for a top finish,â&#x20AC;? Hatleli said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To place in the conference meet is a big accomplishment and one that they should be proud of.â&#x20AC;?

The Eastview girls track and field team won the Lake Conference title last week, and the girls plan on winning a few more races before the season is over. The Lightning earned a conference title in the 4x200meter relay. Alex Beckman won the 100-meter dash and the triple jump and her sister, Amanda, won the long jump. Both have some of the best marks in the state in those events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(I) hope to spend a considerable amount of time at the end of the year on updating both the school record board and the all-state board,â&#x20AC;? coach Jorjean Fischer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a number of great performances by individuals and relays, and hope to set even more records in the final phase of the season.â&#x20AC;? The Lightning have won the conference title before, but this one means something different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning the Lake is always fun, but this year will be special as it is the last year (of the conference),â&#x20AC;? Fischer said. This week, Eastview vied for state qualifications at the

Section 3AA meet at Macalester College in St. Paul on Tuesday and Thursday. The state meet is scheduled for June 1112 at Hamline University in St. Paul.
