For the past 15 years, Eagan nonprofit CaringBridge has connected loved ones online in times of medical crisis. Last week hundreds of families filled the Mall of America rotunda to celebrate its anniversary. “It’s a really nice service,” said Atlanta resident Deb Cole, who used CaringBridge two years ago to stay informed when her cousin’s son, who lives in Minnesota, was diagnosed with lymphoma. Cole, who dropped by the June 7 event while visiting family in Minneapolis, said she particularly likes that CaringBridge provides a place to post updates and words of encouragement as well as automatic email feeds to family and friends. CaringBridge provides websites that enable friends and family to share information on their loved one’s medical condition. Guests were able to sample treats from Cinnabon, have their picture taken with Vikings cheerleaders, listen to live music and sign a giant card congratulating CaringBridge.

Modified calendar still possible in 2013-14 by John Gessner Sun Thisweek

Fresh off one round of budget cuts, the District 191 School Board wants to minimize surprises before it cuts the budget again next year. The Burnsville-EaganSavage board voted unanimously June 7 to have Superintendent Randy Clegg prepare a recommendation for possible cuts that could take effect in 2013-14. The board said the recommendation, due by Sept. 6, “should include, but not be limited to:” • Closing an elementary school. • Closing a junior high school. • Closing the district office building, the Administrative Services Center. • Consolidating use of district buildings and facilities. • Changing the school See District 191, 5A

District 191 scrutinizes ESL program Graduation rates fell in recent years by John Gessner Sun Thisweek

A nosedive in graduation rates among English as a second language students in District 191 is a

key reason for a review of the ESL program that has district officials pledging to improve it. The review, which included on-site observations and interviews by state Department of Education officials, was presented to the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board on June 7. It comes as a “slap in the

face,” Board Member Jim Schmid said. “There’s a lot of disturbing information in that report,” Board Member Bob VandenBoom said. The graduation rate among ESL students dropped steadily from 78 percent in 2007 to 32 percent in 2010. It rebounded to 43 percent 2011.

The statistics aren’t all gloomy. According to the report, District 191 is ahead of the state and three comparable districts in the percentage of students with limited English skills who meet proficiency standards on state reading tests. A total of 45.5 percent of tested students reached proficiency in 2011, ahead of limit-

For the first time in three years, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will be able to balance its budget without reductions. “It’s so exciting to me that we are not cutting and that we are performing better than in previous years,” Board Member Jackie Magnuson said. Officials estimate that the District 196 general fund budget will be $294.8 million during the 201213 school year. This budget accounts for funds not allocated for specific purposes, such as special education or food service. Expenditures are slightly above that figure, but the school district can use general funds to balance the budget. The general fund balance is a projected $33.2 million, 11.03 percent of the general fund budget. This is above the district’s 8 percent goal. The district’s total budget is projected to be

$343.1 million. Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196, credits the balanced budget to the state’s efforts to reinstate K-12 funding and the district’s efforts to conserve its money. The state promised the district in July an extra $50 per pupil this school year and another $50 per pupil in 2012-13. This amounts to $1.5 million each year in additional revenue. District 196 also will receive $2.96 million in compensatory funding starting in 2012-13. Legislators passed the one-time money for 20 districts with the largest enrollment aside from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. District 196 is expected to receive the largest sum of this money. The district also expects to receive $1.63 million in literacy aid for 2012-13. The aid is based on literacy achievement See Budget, 15A

Dakota Electric celebrates 75 years Company products, volunteers brighten county by Laura Adelmann Sun Thisweek

Dakota Electric, one of Farmington’s largest employers, has been bringing darkness to light for 75 years. One of Minnesota’s 44 electrical cooperatives, the company is marking its anniversary this year by ramping up its already strong community involvement, increasing volunteerism and including historic information on its website and in company newsletters. Steve Krech, a 34-year Dakota Electric employee with a penchant for history, sifted through old Dakota County Tribune newspapers and decades of Dakota Electric Board meeting minutes to assemble an impressive company history. His research, primarily conducted on his own time, assisted Dakota Electric Public Relations Director Joe Miller to create an informative video history of the company, on its website www.dakotaelectric.com. Krech also created four

large scrapbooks of newspaper articles detailing the company’s history, which are on display at the Dakota County Historical Society. Started by farmers in 1936, the cooperative allowed rural areas of Dakota County to receive electricity, a change that amounted to a revolution in people’s lives. Many cities were then “electrified,” but area farmers still did chores by kerosene lamp; housework was laborious and involved cooking on wood stoves, washing clothes by hand and pressing clothes with an iron heated on the stove. Ray Nicolai of Hampton said before electricity his family constantly was cutting wood for the fire and pumping water by hand. They canned fruit and vegetables because there was no refrigeration and worried about fire hazards working by kerosene lamp in hay-filled barns. On Feb. 21, 1938, the switch was thrown and in a historic moment when the lights came on for 356 co-op

“I think Dakota Electric really helped to make the county grow,” Miller said. “With all the farms spread out throughout the county and no electricity, there was not going to be population growth.” Throughout the years, Dakota Electric has also promoted community involvement. Its increased effort this Photo submitted year has brought Dakota Dakota Electric employees volunteer as part of the Electric volunteers to an expanded list of organizations, cooperative’s 75th year anniversary. including Feed My Starvmembers. That access to power literally changed lives. Krech said in 1940, Dakota Electric hosted a national demonstration of electricity in rural areas, and the Dakota County Tribune was filled with ads for electric appliances. “It let the farmers know that this stuff can make your life so much easier, and it did,” Krech said. By 1986, Dakota Electric was the fastest growing cooperative in the nation. Miller said Dakota Electric serves about 102,000 accounts and delivers more than 1.9 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

ing Children in Eagan and YMCA Camp Streefland in Lakeville. Miller said Dakota Electric’s past efforts to help the community grow and prosper will continue. “Dakota Electric is really, really committed to assisting in the community and helping to make this area a great place to live and work,” Miller said.

Trapshooters, gymnasts can now earn BHS letters by John Gessner Sun Thisweek

Ready, aim, letter! Trapshooters from Burnsville High School and members of three local gymnastics clubs won the right June 7 to earn BHS varsity letters. Students and parents from the 40-member 2012 Burnsville trap team applauded after the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board approved agreements with the nonschool clubs to authorize school letters. “It is a great opportunity

for more of our students to earn a varsity letter, which really is important, in something they’re passionate about,” Board Member Jim Schmid said. Agreements were approved with the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League, Minneapolis Gun Club Inc., and three gymnastics studios within District 191 — Elite, Gleason’s, and Minnesota Valley. Students must meet the organizations’ requirements for a letter. Students

who have already met the requirements can get their letters right away, said Lisa Rider, the district’s business director. The district’s first outside letter agreement was in 2005 with the Burnsville-Minnesota Valley Figure Skating Club. Last year it added an agreement with American Legion Post 435 for rifle target shooting. John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

What do changes in school enrollments mean? by Joe Nathan Sun Thisweek

Widespread adoption of cell phones and computers helps explain a startling statistic: In the last decade, the number of Minnesota K-12 students attending charter public schools has increased more than 29,000, while the number of students attending district public schools has declined by more than 45,000. That’s according to a new study from the Center for School Change, based on data from the Minnesota Department of Education website. The report is available at www.centerforschoolchange.org. What does this trend mean for families and for Minnesota public education? The majority of Minnesota young people still attend district public schools. However as with phones and computers, many families are looking for something different, and they hope, better. But neither district nor charter public schools are always “better.” The label “charter public school” like “district public school” tells you nothing about the curriculum, philosophy or instructional approach. Comparing is about as useful as trying to decide which has better gas mileage, leased or purchased cars. Because there are enormous differences

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan

within each category, the comparison does not make sense. But the charter movement has allowed educators and parents to create new, and in some cases more personalized, distinctive options. That has helped many students and provided valuable opportunities for educators. That’s in part why Minnesota charter K-12 enrollment rose in the last decade, while district K-12 enrollment declined. It also helps explain why charter enrollment in U.S. charters rose from less than 100 students 20 years ago, to more than 2 million in the 2011-12 school year. Many Minnesota charters offer something “different.” For example: • Lakes International offers an elementary Chinese and Spanish immersion in Forest Lake. • Swan River and World Learner give elementary/middle school Montessori op-

tions in Monticello and Chaska, respectively. • Small, “classical” high schools are offered at Spectrum (high school in Elk River), Seven Hills (elementary school in Bloomington), St. Croix Prep (K-12 in Stillwater), and Cologne Academy in Cologne. • Mainstream is an arts high school in Hopkins, and New Heights is a small, personalized K-12 school in Stillwater. • Northwest Passage high school features extensive travel in Coon Rapids. • Trio/Wolf Creek is an online school based in Chisago City. Wise school districts have responded, in part, by offering distinctive programs. For example, School District196 offers the School of Environmental Studies for 11th- and 12th-graders. Anoka-Hennepin offers the Science and Technology Education Program for high school students. Forest Lake has a Montessori option. Minnetonka provides a Chinese option. Edina offers a French immersion elementary school. Cambridge/Isanti has School for Four Seasons and “the Minnesota Center” for middle school students. At least some of these, such as the Forest Lake Montessori, were opened in response

to the possibility that parents and educators would set up a charter if the district did not respond. The charter movement has helped some educators and districts recognize that there is no single perfect kind of school for all students. Some educators have recognized that identical does not mean not equal educational opportunity. Saying “one size or format fits all” is like saying everyone can wear a Size 8 shoe comfortably. As Gov. Mark Dayton and Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius have suggested, we should learn from the most effective, while offering opportunities to develop new approaches (as has been done with phones and computers). Enrollment trends suggest that wise educators will look for more effective ways to organize learning and teaching. Students don’t need more district or charter public schools. They need more personalized, excellent public schools. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, directs the Center for School Change.

Vigilance, education will help prevent drownings by Don Heinzman Sun Thisweek

The recent drowning of a 6-year-old at a supervised country club pool in Hopkins points out the need for more vigilance and knowledge on how to save a person from drowning. Last year there were 50 drowning deaths in Minnesota, 19 of them in Hennepin County. Six persons drown every day in the United States. A third of them are children under 14. Children from 1 to 4 years of age drown more in residential swimming pools. On Wednesday, June 6, there was another tragic example in South Chisago Lake Township of rural Chisago County where a 14-month-old infant girl drowned in the shallow end of an above ground pool. A recent study of Hennepin County drowning deaths by a task force, revealed

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman

that last year the majority of drowning deaths happened in apartment complex pools. What’s more, the study showed that many of the residents had no idea how to react to a drowning. There isn’t much time to save someone who becomes unconscious after being submerged in water for two minutes or less and brain damaged after being under water four to six minutes. A new safety coalition, the Twin Cities Metro Water Safety Task Force, is so con-

cerned about drowning deaths, it has conducted three classes on water safety aimed at people who frequent private pools in apartment complexes. Sara Cwayna, a public safety education specialist for the city of Plymouth, noted that most people do not know the signs of someone drowning. Those people do not realize that drowning can be quick and silent, contrary to the misconception of victims jumping up and screaming for help. The first reaction of a bystander is to jump into the water and try to save the victim, who may climb on the rescuer’s back causing both to drown. The task force found there was safety equipment at the pools but no one knew how to use the equipment. They should use the ring buoy or a shepherd’s hook to save the person. The task force has put together a CD

in English and Spanish on how to prevent drowning deaths. It will be available soon on the a video-sharing website YouTube and on demand. A plastic poster in five languages that can be posted at swimming pools soon will be available at a cost of $65. For information on the CD and poster, call LeeAnn Mortensen at North Memorial Hospital, Injury Prevention: (763) 520-4145. The task force is hoping for donations to buy posters that can be placed in pools throughout the area. This effort deserves your support. Don Heinzman is a member of the ECM Editorial Board.

Letters Let’s admit graduates have it tough To the editor: A couple of recent letters disparage a guest columnist who discussed the difficulty for college grads to find jobs commensurate with their education, the financial burden that education imposes on college graduates today, and the possibility that high school grads will not pursue higher education because of those difficulties. Regardless of one’s opinion about the content of the column, the facts are that college students are incurring enormous debt in obtaining that education, and the prospects of them making a salary that allows them to pay off the debt and start the rest of their lives are uncertain. Our current U.S. representative at one point opposed lowering the interest rate on student loans and supports for-profit education over funding public colleges and universities, as do our state legislators. For them, it’s about private profit over public good. As for jobs, the presi-

dent doesn’t create jobs, and the private job creators aren’t creating them either. Graduates have to be persistent, patient and lucky to find good jobs today. I can see where it is hard to be optimistic. Rather than criticizing the writer, we could recognize that graduates need our support and we have a role and responsibility in setting things right. One thing we can do is support local candidates in November who believe in public education and support the president’s policies to broaden and strengthen the economy. We need to elect Mike Obermueller to Congress and Jeff Wilfahrt to the Minnesota House, for jobs, for education, for all of us. JUDY FINGER Apple Valley

I would expect that a family-friendly business funded by the state would at least have a walking path so local members could walk to the zoo and not have to pay the $6 parking fee in addition to the $18 per adult to get in and the $12 per child ages 3 to 12 (not including the extra $4 to see the “Dinosaurs” exhibit, which is very nice).

CaringBridge, from 1A ily and friends to coordinate care of a loved one, and Amplifier Hub, an online community that gives volunteers an opportunity to connect, share and rally support for the nonprofit. CaringBridge was founded in 1997 by Sona Mehring after she faced the heartbreaking task of notifying loved ones of the premature birth and later death of her close friend’s baby girl, Brighid. Mehring, a website consultant, thought an online site would be the most efficient way to notify people. From there, CaringBridge was born. Mehring chose the name CaringBridge as a way to illustrate how the site “bridges” loved ones. It was also a way to incorporate Brighid’s name, since she was the inspiration, said Mehring, who was named a 2012 Dakota County Exceptional Businesswoman by Sun Thisweek’s sister publication, the Dakota County Tribune. CaringBridge started as a side project, while Mehring worked as an independent

Today, the Eagan nonprofit has 80,000 websites for families who face medical crisis. consultant creating websites for small and medium-sized businesses. But as the organization quickly took on a life of its own, Mehring decided to quit her consulting career in 2002 to run CaringBridge full time as CEO. That same year, the organization was incorporated as a nonprofit. Much has changed since the organization’s inception. What began as a small side-project with 100 websites, has grown into a thriving nonprofit with 80,000 sites for individuals from across the globe.

protected and private space.” When using CaringBridge, the client is able to control the level of privacy for each site, which includes photos, journal updates and an online guest book that allows loved ones to write words of encouragement. Unlike social networking sites, no membership is required and there is no advertising, Mehring said. All sites are off-limits to search engines, she said. Though it strives to be unique from popular social media sites, CaringBridge turns to many of these sites for marketing. For much of its history, CaringBridge relied heavily on word-of-mouth, but now it is stepping up its marketing efforts by reaching out to the community and hospitals. Mehring said her goal in the next year is to focus on improving marketing efforts and refining the site to attract more users. “We want to serve as many people in as many ways as we can,” she said.

“And we’re always continuing to grow,” Mehring said. In the past few years, CaringBridge has worked hard to keep up with ever changing technology and now offers features for smartphones and tablets. The inception of Facebook and other social media has presented a mixed bag for CaringBridge. “In some ways they are a competition,” Mehring said. “But our clients’ needs are often different than what Jessica Harper is at jessica. they can find on Facebook. harper@ecm-inc.com or faceWe let them know it’s a very book.com/sunthisweek.

The two buildings that have drawn attention are well located: the Administrative Services Center, just east of Interstate 35W in northern Burnsville, and Cedar School,

just east of Cedar Avenue on Diffley Road in Eagan. The board voted down June 7 an administration proposal to hire a broker to field queries about the administrative center. The district will continue to field the calls. John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

War veteran, took up painting while studying engineering in the mid-1970s at St. Paul College. A few years later, he began studying studio art at the University of Minnesota. Landis said in his biography on the festival’s Facebook page that he often turned to art while serving abroad. In 2004, Landis retired from the military and began studying under Thomas Stiltz, a popular contemporary artist in California. “We try to have different mediums on our cover,” Borman said. “It’s not often you find a classic oil painter, and he’s very talented.” Borman noted that Landis’ paintings are so detailed and clean they resemble photographs. The festival will feature 98 artists who will exhibit a wide variety of pieces include painting, weaving, sculptures, jewelry and photography. Multicultural activities won’t be limited to adults. Children will be able to learn about other cultures through a puppet show and by creating a mask. The Eagan Art Festival has continued to grow every year. Borman said she expects the event will attract more than the 6,800 people who attended last year.

Grab your passport and explore the artistic wonders across the globe in Eagan. Now in its 18th year, the Eagan Art Festival will take guests on a journey June 23 and 24 to different cultures with its exhibits, music, food and demonstrations. “We hope people will enjoy looking at the variety of art and gain an appreciation for music and art from all cultures,” said Wanda Borman, festival director. Those who attend event, which is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, will be given passports at the event’s entrance at Eagan’s Central Park, 1501 Central Parkway. The passports will be stamped at each tent, and the person with the most stamps can earn a prize. Attendees will be drawn to different continents while listening to Eastern, Celtic and Latin music.

June 15, 2012 Sun Thisweek - Burnsville / Eagan

by Mike Shaughnessy Sun Thisweek

Andrew Koenen wanted the state boys lacrosse title badly enough to take a shot in warmups on his thumb, watch it discolor and swell before his eyes, and not even think about asking out of the championship game. His Eastview High School boys team wanted the title badly enough to endure several weeks of riding buses last summer, going to camps and tournaments to seek the best competition available. And when the state tournament arrived, Eastview couldn’t be stopped. The Lightning defeated Eden Prairie 10-4 on June 7 at Chanhassen High School for the school’s first state championship in a boys sport. The title capped a 16-1 season for Eastview, which had been to the state tournament three other times, including a runner-up finish in 2009. Eastview coach Tim Roche said the championship was a tribute to the players’ dedication – and to the fact they could still put up with each other after spending so much time on buses last summer. “Coach (Colin) Achenbach went out with them, and I flew out later to meet them,” Roche said. “Then I rode back with them on the bus, and let me tell you, I’m never doing that again. Riding a bus for 26 hours is miserable. “But it was fun when we weren’t on the bus. We played in three tournaments on a 13-day trip, and it got us ready to play this season.” Koenen, the Lightning goalie, said the No. 1 benefit of the trip was “it made us like a family. When you spend that much time on the road, you get to know people. You see people on their good days, and you see them when they’re down or mad, and you form a bond.”

Worth the wait Lacrosse title is Eastview’s first in a boys sport

Eastview players celebrate moments after the final buzzer in their 10-4 victory over Eden Prairie in the state boys lacrosse championship game. More photos are at SunThisweek.com. “We did it because we wanted to be the best team in the state, and the best team we could be,” senior attack Jacob Heppner said after Eastview was awarded the championship trophy. “We put in the time, and our parents put up the money so we could go on the trip. Tonight, it all paid off.” Koenen was asked if there is more passion for the sport at Eastview than at some other high

schools. “I think so,” he replied. “At Eastview, the expectation is the team is going to be good every year, and that’s something we desire. When we didn’t get out of the section last year, it motivated us.” In the state championship game, the Lightning started quickly and never let Eden Prairie (15-3) back into it. Eastview led 4-0 before the game was 10 minutes old.

Heppner, named the state’s Mr. Lacrosse earlier in the week, had two goals and one assist in the first quarter. Heppner said Eastview noticed early in the game that Eden Prairie seemed committed to taking away Ryan McNamara, the Lightning’s talented junior attack. “Once we saw they were trying to lock out Mac, I felt like I had to step up a little,” Heppner said.

Eastview defense shut down an Eden Prairie team that scored 15 goals in its state semifinal victory over Totino-Grace. Koenen stopped 16 of 20 shots and Eden Prairie was held to one goal in each quarter. “Our goalie played out of his mind tonight,” Roche said. “We always knew we had a great goalie,” Heppner said, “but no one gave him any respect.” McNamara had four goals and four assists as Eastview defeated Edina 15-6 in a semifinal game June 5. Hamill scored three goals for the Lightning, which scored nine of the game’s final 10 goals. After beating Minnetonka 16-15 in its season opener, Eastview didn’t allow an opponent more than nine goals in any of its last 16 games. “I just think we all relaxed,” Koenen said. “When we played Minnetonka, because it was our first game, we were probably a little tight. But we knew what we were supposed to do and we settled down.” Not everything went smoothly for Eastview this season. The Lightning lost senior midfielder Alex Wohl to a torn knee ligament after he scored nine goals in the team’s first seven games. It also was missing a starting defender during the state tournament because of an unspecified code violation. And the Lightning’s faith could have been shaken by a 9-8 loss to Lakeville North on May 8. Instead, Eastview won its final eight games. “Right after we lost to North, we knew why we lost,” Roche said. “And we made sure it never happened again. That’s what I love about these guys.”

Heppner finished with two goals and two assists. Junior attack Tanner Hamill scored twice in the second quarter after Eden Prairie cut Eastview’s lead to 4-2. Senior attack Erik Gage had a goal and three assists. McNamara, Brett Schweiger, Mitch Beattie, Shane Kenealey and Jake McGlocklin also scored for Eastview in the cham- Mike Shaughnessy is at mike. shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com or pionship game.

Eagan athletes score on track, in classroom Anderson 2nd at state in 3,200 by Mike Shaughnessy Sun Thisweek

The state Class AA girls track and field standings had Eagan well down the list in 19th place, but that didn’t stop coach Rob Graham from calling it the best team the school has had. If brainpower is factored into the equation, Graham’s argument becomes even more persuasive. Eagan’s Danielle Anderson and Emerald Egwim achieved All-State status by finishing in the top nine in their events last weekend at the state meet at Hamline University. They also were among 19 Eagan girls who made the Academic AllState team. Academic All-State athletes must have grade point averages of at least 3.6 and meet one of the following three criteria: be named allconference, qualify for the state meet or meet the state coaches association honor roll standard. Eagan athletes qualified for state in six events, four individual and two relays. Anderson, a junior, accounted for 15 of Eagan’s 16 team points by finishing second in the 3,200-meter run and fifth in the 1,600. Egwim, a sophomore, added a ninth place in the 200 dash. “For the 1-mile, I was hoping to run 5 minutes,” said Anderson, who finished the 1,600 in 5:01.63. “But I thought I had a really good meet.” Although Anderson was an All-State performer in cross country in the fall, she

wasn’t a favorite in the 3,200, not with three-time defending state champion Jamie Piepenburg of Alexandria in the field. However, Anderson kicked past Piepenburg on the final lap to finish second to Shakopee’s Maria Hauger in 10:35.06. Piepenburg placed third. “I wanted to stay with the front pack for as long as I could and hopefully hang on,” said Anderson, who was seventh in the 3,200 at state last year. Her eighth-place finish in the state Class AA cross country meet last fall, combined with her two topfive finishes in track, established Anderson as one of the state’s elite high school distance runners. She said she cut 30 seconds off her 3,200-meter time and 18 seconds off her 1,600 time this spring. This fall, she will lead an Eagan cross country team that returns six of its top seven runners from a squad that finished ninth at state last year. She’ll still have to deal with Hauger, who also will be a senior in the fall and is the three-time defending Class AA cross country champion. Asked if she would like to be done with running against Hauger, Anderson laughed and said, “No. I’m actually excited about running with her next year. I’m looking forward to the competition.” In the boys state meet, Eagan senior Adam Peters cleared 14 feet to take sixth place in the pole vault and earn his school’s four team points. Another South Suburban Conference vaulter, Lakeville South’s Lee Bares, won the event by clearing 156.

Also among Eagan’s state qualifiers was junior Sidney Speir, who finished 13th in the 3,200.

Eastview

Eastview was 35th in the boys and girls team standings at the Class AA meet last weekend. Junior Erica Bestul led Eastview’s girls with a fifthplace finish in the 800. Her time was 2:15.30. Allie Funk, also a junior, cleared 11-3 to finish sixth in the pole vault, just 3 inches short of the winning height. The Lightning’s Melita Ware was 12th in the triple jump. Eastview also had a medal winner in the boys pole vault, where senior Brendan Cole cleared 14-0 to tie for fourth place. The other Lightning athlete to score points at state was senior sprinter Leandre Kennedy, who was eighth in the 100.

CDH’s Linder earns 3 medals

Eagan resident and Cretin-Derham Hall sophomore Megan Linder won the 400 dash at the girls Class AA finals and earned medals in the 100 and 200. She was the only girl in Class AA to qualify for state in all three sprints. Linder, who was eighth in the 400 at state last year, raced to victory in this year’s race in 56.53, more than half a second ahead of the runner-up, Kianna Carter of Irondale. Linder also was third in the 200 in 25.35 and fifth in the 100 in 12.32. She scored all of Cretin-Derham Hall’s 25 team points at state.

Wildcats third at state tennis

Singles sweep against Mahtomedi clinches trophy by Mike Shaughnessy Sun Thisweek

Going undefeated in the singles matches, Eagan defeated Mahtomedi 5-2 in the third-place match at the state Class AA boys tennis tournament June 6 at the University of Minnesota. The third-place finish is Eagan’s second best at the state tourney, exceeded only by the Wildcats’ second place in 2010. Eagan (17-4) got straight-set victories from Zach Ekstein, Drew Nichols and Simon Barnicle at second through fourth singles against Mahtomedi. Brady Radermacher prevailed in three sets at first singles. At third singles, Andrew Lockhart and Seante Vang did not win a game in the first set before coming back for a 0-6, 7-5, 7-5 victory. After knocking off defending champion Rochester Mayo 4-3 in the first round, the Wildcats lost to Wayzata 5-2 in the semifinals. Zach Ekstein and Nichols won singles matches in straight sets against Wayzata. All five of Wayzata’s victories were in straight sets. Elk River defeated Wayzata 5-2 in the champion-

ship match. Zach Ekstein went 1-1 in the Class AA singles tournament June 7. After defeating Jason Dilly of Becker 6-2, 6-1 in the first round, he lost 6-3, 6-1 to Forest Lake senior Dusty Boyer in the quarterfinals. Boyer went on to win his fourth consecutive Class AA singles championship. Ekstein, a sophomore who played No. 2 singles for Eagan in team competition, lost only two matches all season – to Boyer and to Bloomington Jefferson’s Luke Robertson in the Sec-

tion 3AA final. The Wildcats graduated seniors Andrew Finnegan, Ben Ekstein, Brandon Vuong, Soren Hansen, Lockhart, Radermacher, Vang and Barnicle from their lineup. Zach Ekstein and Nichols will return to the singles lineup, and juniors Dominic Carlisano, Dylan Mannetter and Ryan Ossell also will be back next season.

Everything came together for the Burnsville girls rugby team last weekend. When the season began, the girls didn’t know if they would have enough players to field a team. During the season they often played shorthanded. But in the end, the girls won the Tier 2 state championship last weekend at Blake High School with a 20-12 victory over Faribault. Things started to look up when the girls defeated Chisago 40-0 in the first round. “It was easily their best performance of the year,” head coach Ron Ericksmoen said. “They figured it out as a group. They got the ball out into the girls who could run well and let them do their thing.” Rugby is a sport with wild momentum swings, and Burnsville players were swinging it to their side when it mattered. “You could tell they wanted to win the championship,” Ericksmoen said. “In rugby, you can have your individuals that stand out and score, but it’s very much a team effort. There’s no one person who can run through all 15 of the opposition’s players. It takes everyone on the field working together.” Against a hard-hitting Faribault team, the girls had one fewer player on the field because of injury and their top scorer Sophie McCabe was sent to the sin box, the rugby version of the penalty box. Up 15-12 late in the game, Burnsville was at a 13-to-15 player disadvantage. The girls held Faribault off and as soon as McCabe was set loose she scored

again, leading the team with three tries. “When the final whistle blew our whole team was ecstatic,” player Emily Rada said.” A few girls cried tears of joy. It was awesome to let the seniors go with a state title.” McCabe was awarded the Player of the Match capping off a season in which she was the club’s top scorer with 23. “That’s an astounding number,” Ericksmoen said. “I would venture to say there probably wasn’t another girl in the state that even hit double digits in tries.” McCabe, Katie Reuder, Avery Mitchell Brown and Amber Rosswaag were named to the all-state team. The girls were used to playing shorthanded. When the season began, only 14 girls were on the roster for a sport that needs 15. “At the beginning we didn’t have a lot of girls, so we didn’t know if we’d even have a season,” Rada said. The players recruited a few more, but injuries sidelined some players along the way. The girls finished the season 4-2-1. “As you get some success there were a lot of girls that were showing up and friends started coming,” Ericksmoen said. “There’s a whole group of girls who didn’t play this year and want to play next year. It’s a growing sport nationwide and Minnesota has a pretty good rugby league.” The rules are the same for boys and girls. “It’s one thing the girls really like,” Ericksmoen said. “They play exactly the same way. There’s no checking in hockey and in lacrosse you can’t hit. In rugby, everything is the same.” Rada said the aggressive nature of the sport looks

worse than it is. “A lot of people are afraid of it when they see people get tackled, but you learn how to get tackled safely,” she said. When you don’t wear pads and a helmet, players tend to be more careful. It’s rare when someone tries to hurt an opponent. “After the games both teams share a meal,” Rada said. “Whatever problems you have you can talk it through. In the end we all just love the same sport and make friends with other teams.” Although the team is the Burnsville Rugby football club, it is the only girls team south of the river and draws players from high schools in Burnsville, Savage, Eagan, Prior Lake, Lakeville and Apple Valley. “Rugby is so different than any other sport I’ve played,” Rada said. “One of the things I like is that it brings a lot of people together and there’s a spot for everybody on the team. The girls are one big family. It’s cool because you have ties to different schools.” The girls aren’t done playing this summer. McCabe, Reuder and Tia Eriksmoen are playing with the Minnesota Select team, which will vie for the Midwest Title in Indiana. Rada and the rest of the girls plan on playing some pick up games this summer. Visit www.burnsvillerugby.org or email burnsvillebruisers@gmail.com for more information. The girls and boys teams are always recruiting. The Burnsville boys team finished fifth at state defeating Wayzata 36-5 and East Valley 28-17.

Budget, from 1A of third- and fourth-graders. This additional aid enabled District 196 to avoid seeking a new operating levy referendum. The recent news is a much needed silver lining for the embattled school district, which faced deep cuts the past three years. Last year, District 196 was forced to lay off 107 teachers — both tenured and nontenured — as it sought to slash $3.5 million from the 2011-12 budget. Many of the layoffs of

tenured teachers had more to do with changes at the middle school level than its budget constraints, said Tom Pederstuen, director of human resources in District 196. In January 2011, the School Board unanimously approved shortening its middle school schedule to six periods in an effort to boost student achievement, particularly in math, and save money. Eliminating two class periods is expected to save an estimated $1.76 million each year. In addition to cuts, the district looked to borrow-

based heavily on teacher opinion. The district lacks a comprehensive written plan of ESL services, the department found. Except for a cultural liaison at Burnsville High School, the district doesn’t have bilingual staffers to communicate with parents. And it has no plan to seek input from ESL parents, the department said. The district is pledging improvements, including more academic services to students with greater ESL needs, consistent procedures, a monitoring and evaluation system and a strong Internet presence in multiple languages. Plans to implement districtwide a parent-involvement plan provided by the Parent Institute for Quality Education will also help, Funston said.

Eagan woman charged with arson of own home by Jessica Harper Sun Thisweek

An Eagan woman faces felony arson charges after allegedly writing her own obituary and setting her home on fire. Patricia Joy Klatt, 63, was charged on May 31 in Dakota County District Court with first-degree arson for allegedly setting several fires in her own home. According to the criminal complaint, police arrived at the home at about 10:48 p.m. March 2 after receiving a call from a neighbor. Police located Klatt at the neighbor’s home where she had entered without permission. The neighbor’s daughter was on her way to Klatt’s home to check on Klatt’s husband and dog, when she yelled to the officers that she smelled smoke and

ing as a way to balance the books. The School Board approved opening a line of credit last summer and a $15 million aid anticipation loan. This was the first time the district opened a line of credit. State statute allows school districts to borrow up to 95 percent of their average monthly expenses. For District 196, this is $24 million.

could hear smoke detectors going off in Klatt’s home. Officers notified the Eagan Fire Department and briefly searched the burning home for people and pets, but found no one. Officers noticed the curtains in the living room were on fire as well as in a secondfloor bedroom. Officers attempted to speak with Klatt who they described as uncooperative and smelling of alcohol. Klatt denied consuming alcohol and said her husband was trying to kill her. Upon being asked additional questions, Klatt cursed at officers and said it wasn’t their business. Officers discovered Klatt’s husband had left the home with their daughter around midnight the prior day after a previous domestic dispute call. Klatt allegedly was the only person

in the home when the fire started. Once the fire was extinguished, officers took photographs and noted that it appeared someone had tampered with fire detectors. An obituary for Klatt had been written out on a table along with songs for her funeral. The Eagan fire marshal found at least two points of origin for the fire and perhaps three additional areas where a fire was started but failed to spread. If convicted, Klatt could face up to 20 years in prison. Klatt is scheduled to appear in court July 2 in Hastings. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
