For organizers, more than nine months of work and preparation go into the week-long celebration whose events attract tens of thousands to the community. This year’s Pan-O-Prog, the 44th annual, begins July 4 and runs through July 10. “It’s an amazing thing,� See POP, 3A

The housing boom and subsequent bust have forced another Lakeville-based homebuilder into bankruptcy. College City Homes Inc., a family-owned business that has been in Lakeville for more than 40 years, recently filed for Chapter 7 liquidation. “With the new home industry the way it’s been, it’s been really hard,� said College City Homes president Darin Pavek. According to the filing, College City is saddled with $4.6 million in debt and only $2.3 million in assets. The company’s revenue had fallen from $11 million in 2008 to $100,000 for the first half of 2010, according to the filing.
LAKEVILLE Last year, Lakevillebased M.W. Johnson, a nationally recognized homebuilder, filed for bankruptcy and closed. Pavek said College City had a number of loans with a number of banks and managed to work things out with most of them. “But we couldn’t work things out with one, and that’s all it takes,� Pavek said. One of those banks is Farmington-based Premier Bank, which College City owes more than $3.6 million. Some of the other banks settled for accepting millions of dollars worth of foreclosed properties, but Premier pressed on with lawsuits seeking judgments
for the money, the filing says. But not all is necessarily lost, Pavek said. Despite College City Homes closing, the family continues to run College City’s sister company, College City Design-Build Inc., Pavek said. “We’re still around here in Lakeville. We still have our remodeling division we started seven to eight years ago,� Pavek said. That company provides custom new home and home remodeling, Pavek said. “We have a lot of optimism,� Pavek said. “Consumer confidence is starting to rise and we’re still doing a lot of good projects. We’re just doing six to eight new homes a year instead of 100.� See Bankruptcy, 3A

Brianna Gunderson was in labor for 26 hours when she gave birth to her daughter, Ava, two years ago. That doesn’t count another 12 hours of false labor beforehand. So when she woke up at 4:45 a.m. on May 13 experiencing contractions, she wasn’t worried that the newest member of the family was on his way. “I wasn’t convinced I was in labor,� she said. “The contractions were pretty irregular so I had myself thinking he wasn’t ready yet,� said Brianna, 29. Little did she know that just three hours later, she would be giving birth on the floor in her bathroom to a healthy baby boy named Liam. “I’m a big planner and in my head, that’s not how we had planned it,� she joked.

Brianna’s contractions were getting more regular. By 7 a.m., the couple had sent Ava with Michael’s mom, packed a bag and had gotten the car ready. “We seemed to be ready to go,� he said. But Brianna’s contractions had become debilitating. “I could barely get down the stairs. I was doubling over in pain,� she said. Finally, right before they were going to drive to the hospital, Brianna felt like she had to go to the bathroom. “That’s when I realized the baby was crowning,� she said. “That was scary. I panicked at first, but realized I wasn’t going anywhere.� Michael, though, wasn’t worried. He called 911 and then began doing what he needed to in order to get Brianna comfortable. Five minutes later, at about 7:45 a.m., three Lakeville Police officers
arrived to help. “They were telling me not to push. I tried not to, but I did once and that’s when he began coming out,� Brianna said. “As paramedics were arriving, the officer at my feet was delivering the baby.� Over the next couple minutes, Michael cut the umbilical cord, the Allina crew had stabilized Brianna and the mother and son were on their way to the hospital. “It was all over so fast,� Brianna said. “I remember once he was out though, saying to everyone, ‘I can’t believe this is happening. It only happens on TV.’ � Haggstrom said it was the first time she assisted in a birth in her two years as a paramedic. “I do a lot of first-responder training, including pre-hospital deliveries, but this was my first one,� she said. “It’s just so amazing. There are a million things that can go wrong and for it to go as smoothly as it did, what a blessing.� Even her partner, Svihel, who has 10 years of
service, hadn’t done one. “It’s not too common,� Haggstrom, 31, said. In a strange coincidence, Brianna said she didn’t learn until later that O’Neill, the officer at her feet when she delivered Liam, is actually a neighbor. “He just lives a couple houses down. I couldn’t believe it,� she said. “He has some older daughters and maybe they’re into babysitting.� Michael said he was thankful for the responders. “It was definitely interesting to be there to help essentially deliver my own son,� he said. “But the first responders, they were amazing. We can’t thank them enough.� Haggstrom said it was an honor to help. “To be a part of a moment that’s so intimate in a family’s life is amazing,� Haggstrom said. “That’s the coolest thing for me.� E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com

New this year will be a stage in Lakeville’s Market Plaza that will feature live entertainment much of the week. All told, Dunn said, there will be more than 50 events and activities taking place during the week including live music, sports tournaments, pageants, a battle of the bands, cookouts, orchestra in the park, street dances, pet and talent shows, a medallion hunt and more. “There is something for all age groups and food for all tastes,â€? Dunn said. Many events will also have 360 Communities food drive drop-off locations. For more information about Pan-O-Prog, visit www.panoprog.org. The event also has a fan news page on Facebook.com.
Another huge Pan-O-Prog event is the classic car cruise on Friday, July 9. The event, Dunn’s favorite, draws more than 20,000 to Lakeville streets to see the 500-plus cars that register. “The whole atmosphere is amazing,� Dunn said. “It’s a great family event.� Following the cruise, many of the cars park along Holyoke Avenue – Lakeville’s main street – so people can get a closer look.

Capping off this year’s event is the Grand Parade, a wildly popular 132unit procession through Lakeville’s historic downtown. The parade will begin at 5:30 p.m. on July 10 and kick off with a flyover from a B-25 bomber, parade chair Dave Litzinger, 66, said. This year’s parade will be a bit shorter, Litzinger

cruise begins at Lakeville South High School at 3:30 p.m. Minnesota Viking cheerleaders will be on hand at the registration, as well as a DJ, and door prizes will be handed out, Litzinger said. There will also be a ceremonial flyover of a B-25 bomber before the cruise kicks off.
Pan-O-Prog president Jim Dunn, 46, said. “You can’t beat it. It brings the community together and it attracts others to the community. It’s amazing.� Dunn has lived in Lakeville for 11 years and began volunteering for the Pan-O-Prog committee five years ago. “This is a great event that I wanted to plug into,� Dunn said. “It’s a thing where people get together and see folks they may not see any other time of the year but at Pan-O-Prog. It’s all about the people.� And while some festivals are facing money shortages, Dunn says Pan-O-Prog is still a fundraising giant. “We’re growing our events and a lot of others – you see it in the papers – they’re in the red or cutting things,� he said. “We’re not. We’re so fortunate for our sponsors and the support we get from the community.� Dunn said this year’s celebration is a lot like that of years past. Oldies but goodies remain on the calendar of events, such as the classic car cruise, Fourth of July fireworks, Beer, Brats and Bingo, the Grand Parade, and the Miss Lakeville pageant.

That said, Litzinger said the parade is still among the top five in the state. “We put money into it to get the best to be in it,� he said. “We put something in to get quality out.� This year’s Grand Marshall is Wally Potter, who works at the Lakeville Historical Society. The parade will also feature seven high school bands and nine other marching entertainment units, Litzinger said, in addition to perennial favorites such as the Zuhrah Shriners and others. “Walking up and down the street and seeing the faces on the people – you can’t buy that feeling,� Litzinger said. “It’s why I keep coming back.�

Opinion Thisweek Columnist My dad, my daughter – two wonderful lives by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
My parents were in town recently from Des Moines, Iowa, to visit their granddaughter for the first time. Eleanor Rose was born Feb. 24, 2010 – the eighth grandchild for my parents. Our time with them was spent showering our first child with attention as we smiled and laughed during the evening over dinner and a few drinks. When my parents arrived at the in-laws’ house across town to spend the night, my dad had a slight slur in his speech (attributed to his goofy nature) and such a weakness in his knee that he had to scoot down the steps to get to the bedroom. In the morning when my dad rose to get out of bed his left leg gave out from under him and he tumbled onto the floor. With his face drooping a bit on his left side, it was apparent my father had suffered a stroke. It’s been over two months since that day and my dad’s recovery to this point has been slow and difficult to absorb since his
old vibrancy has not returned yet, along with the full use of his left leg and arm. The range of emotions went to extremes during my first Father’s Day as a dad and the first with my dad in a medical rehabilitation center a few hundred miles away. The birth of a child and the vulnerability of old age illustrate the fragile gift of life and the sacrifices expected to care for and bring a new person into this world. Eleanor and my dad both are in need of attention 24 hours a day. Being a parent is life’s emotional system check. It tests to make sure we still can still feel extreme measures of joy, fear, amazement, apprehension, exuberance, paranoia all in the span of about two minutes. Four months after the birth of our daughter, I’m still struck by the impossibility of it all. It was a difficult pregnancy for my wife – an emotional roller coaster for us both as several factors made it a less than smooth delivery. The outcome was an emotional purging pouring forth in tears

Proud grandfather Bill Johnson holds Eleanor Rose for the first time. of joy, hugs, kisses, smiles and laughter. Since we brought our daughter home and were entrusted with her care, it has been like lighting a candle on both ends. A few days into it, it felt like the only part left was the wick burnt to a crisp. Raising a daughter (waking up multiple times during the
night for feedings and diaper changes, relentlessly finding the next soothing measure for her cries and encouraging her to the next milestone) has affirmed the amount of work and love that my own father and mother expended in raising me, and not to mention three other children before me. I can only hope that I am as good at parenting as my father and mother. My dad is a constant source of inspiration, positivity and bad jokes. He never seemed to let anything get him down whether it was a leaky roof, a family ski trip interrupted by vehicle malfunction or a brief time of unemployment. The list is much longer than space allows. One of the greatest lessons he taught was the value of friendship. My parents developed a strong connection to the couples they met during their college years. They continued that connection with annual fishing trips in the summer and New Year’s Eve gatherings. They also developed a closeknit group of friends in Des Moines. The times together were mostly focused on riotous good
times – dressing up like idiots for Halloween, surprise birthday parties, etc. The costumes became more and more ridiculous to the point that inhibition was out the window. These good times are cherished, but as time has advanced that network of friends is called on more and more for support. When one of my dad’s close friends was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma, dad was the first one in line to volunteer to drive him from Kansas City to Mayo Clinic for his treatments. He has been there so many times for Gary, who now is returning my father’s favors through visits to him in the rehab center. At some point in our lives, we are dependent on others for support in varying degrees. It is important to remember all those who have helped us arrive at the places where we are today because some day they also will need our help. Tad Johnson is managing editor of Thisweek Newspapers. He is at editor.thisweek@ecm-inc. com.
Letters Colin Lee offers fresh ideas To the editor: Lakeville’s House District 36A has a pivotal race. As a 12-year incumbent asking for coronation, Mary Liz Holberg must feel like a queen. Her opponent, Colin Lee, has the problem-solving record that our district needs. Colin Lee is a high achiever. At St. Thomas Military Academy, he placed fourth on the entrance exam, earning their Headmaster’s scholarship. He was a National Merit Scholar, earning a full scholarship to the University of Florida. After college, he worked as a private high school teacher and as a software engineer at Cray Inc. He wishes to continue his successful work for the people of Lakeville as their next state representative. Lee refuses all donations from lobbyists and special interest groups. According to Holberg’s public campaign finance record, she accepted tens of thousands of dollars from them. She accepted money from oil, insurance, lawyers, bankers, utilities, trucking, pawnshops and many others. In return, these interests profited from Holberg. Our representative cannot govern honestly after receiving this influence. As former chair of Transportation Finance, we should ask Holberg about suspension damage from potholes created by the trucking companies she takes donations from. She voted repeatedly against pooling health insurance statewide for
teachers, costing us an extra billion dollars over 10 years according to our governor’s budget agency. If we want holes in our roads and school budgets, we should re-elect Mary Liz Holberg. But if we want fresh ideas, efficiency, and accountability, we must turn to Colin Lee on Nov. 2. KEVIN ROBERSON Lakeville
Tiger Fan Club supported by volunteers To the editor: The Tiger Fan Club would like to thank all those who volunteered during the 2009-2010 athletic seasons. All of the time and talent is greatly appreciated. Without their support volunteering in the concession stand throughout the season and recent basketball tournament fundraiser, the Tiger Fan Club would not have accomplished so much. This past season, TFC provided over $33,000. This money is above and beyond what the district athletic budget and student athletes’ fundraising can provide. Results of TFC’s activities have been the ability to procure equipment; provide buses to the state volleyball tournament; purchase banners listing conference, section and state championship years; help fund team banquets and out-of-town events; purchase conference, section and state recognition items; purchase senior athlete gifts, and contribute monies toward
the start-up costs of new athletic programs. As the Tiger Fan Club prepares for the 2010-2011 season we hope everyone — parents, grandparents and friends — will sign-up to volunteer for at least one event during the upcoming athletic season. Volunteering is easy and it’s free. Volunteer sign-ups for the fall athletic season on the Tiger Fan Club website at www. tigerfanclub.org. ROBIN HANSON Tiger Fan Club
Bringing integrity, accessibility to elections To the editor: State Sen. Chris Gerlach, R-Apple Valley, should be commended for the role he played in getting necessary reforms made to our elections process that balance access and integrity. These changes encourage greater participation and transparency than what we had previously. This accomplishment is nothing short of amazing considering the contentious backdrop of the U.S. Senate Norm Coleman-Al Franken election. It is also a testament to Gerlach’s ability to stand behind sound principles while working with those from both parties and the community to accomplish a common goal. This is a great example of why we need to re-elect Sen. Chris Gerlach. KEVIN ECKER Apple Valley

Message from prisoners resonates across the U.S. by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Some of the strongest responses I’ve ever received to a column came in recently. Readers commented on a column highlighting “From the Inside Out,” a book written by Stillwater prison inmates for young people. The book was the product of classes at Stillwater taught by Carleton professor Deborah Appleman. Because of the Internet, responses came not only from Minnesota communities like Eagan and Elk River, but also people in Baltimore and Seattle. Here are a few of the comments: From a parent in Eagan: “If the excerpts in your Thisweek column provide insight into the messages in this book, I want to read it aloud to my 11-year-old son and all of his classmates at Paideia Academy. I also think it would be great reinforcement for the good things that are happening in his Boy Scout troop. He is entering into a time of great peer influence and the risk of ‘falling into the wrong group of kids.’ This book would serve to help guide kids away from behavior that would land them in a corrections program.” From a suburban public school teacher: “I was part of a workshop with Deborah Appleman. She is amazing and the men from Stillwater had extremely important messages to share. I bought the book and am already using it in my classrooms. I highly recommend it.” From the Milaca area: “I am not connected to any school but am interested in having my grandchildren (eight) and my six great grandchildren read this wonderful book. I am 80 years old and have lived a full and wonderful life and have been blessed with a wonderful family, But that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen some very unhappy people. Many years ago I was a temporary secretary at the Hennepin Jail where I worked for the nurses. My job was writing up the histories of the new inmates. “One day, I recognized the name of a young man I had at (a suburban) junior high. I was a teacher’s aide in eighth grade science. I know the young man finally re-
membered me as he was only about 18 at the time. It broke my heart that he had ended up in the jail and I pray he left there with a different attitude about his future. I remember that way back in the 1970s so many of the goals of the students were to raise Cain and get accepted by the troublemakers of the school. I just wish I would have had the opportunity to influence this young boy’s life and pray he became a great law abiding adult.” From an Elk River area reader: “I am … a juvenile probation officer in Hennepin County. I am the coordinator/facilitator for an anger management group of high level juvenile probationers. One section of our curriculum is moral reasoning. Lately they seem to be getting caught up in prison is no big thing and you do what you do. I believe this may a good book for them to look at, read, and understand.” From Seattle: “I am the principal at Nova High School, a public alternative school in Seattle with 350 students. … In August 2008 two-thirds of our staff did a professional development day at Monroe Prison meeting with the Black Prisoners Caucus and earlier this month, some of us returned for an Education Summit with the same group. “This year our students organized a gifts for kids program in December for children of incarcerated parents and two years ago we set up a class called Prisons that looked at the history of incarceration because a number of our students have either experienced the criminal justice system directly or have family members or friends who are incarcerated. We also discovered that some students signed up for the class because they have a parent or family member who works in corrections. I am sure this book will … interest both students and staff.” Joe Nathan, a former public school teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change, Humphrey Institute, University of Minnesota.

He ended up agreeing to pay $2,000 a week for three years to end the contract, Gustafson said. Gustafson said the payments seemed sustainable after he obtained the Concert Group Logistics franchise, whose business was growing. But then it went sour as the economy tanked, and Gustafson said he wrote off nearly $400,000 in bad customer debt in late 2008 and 2009. “For a little company like mine, it’s hard to sustain that,� said Gustafson, who said he was a vice president for Transport America and a regional manager for Forward Air before going into
business for himself. “Then we lost a very large account at the beginning of 2009. And I had two warehouses operating at the time. I couldn’t downsize quick enough. I had leases.� The lost client provided about 65 percent of the franchise’s business, Gustafson said. According to the filing, he claimed personal income from the business of $222,429 in 2008 and $7,800 in 2009. The Concert Group Logistics franchise’s revenue peaked at more than $4 million, Gustafson said. He once employed 22 people while with Allstates. By the time he lost the second franchise his employees had dwindled to four. “A lot of forwarders have gone out of business since 2001,� Gustafson said. “There have been a lot of consolidations. Look at Federal Express: They were laying people off like crazy. And they still are.� Gustafson is also in arrears on taxes. According to the filing, he owes $85,323 in federal income tax, penalties and interest for 2000, 2003, 2005
and 2006. He owes $12,294 in state income tax, penalties and interest for 2006 and 2008. “Taxes were paid,� he said. “Some determinations were made that not enough were paid. Any small-business owner will tell you that happens a lot.� The bankruptcy filing includes a number of creditcard bills, most of which are business-related, Gustafson said. “When (wife) Suzanne and I realized the problems we were in back in June of last year, we quit using our (personal) credit cards,� said Gustafson, whose wife works part time at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Hints of trouble surfaced publicly last August when a former Gustafson employee, Mary Jo Germscheid, used the citizen-comment portion of a City Council meeting to claim that he owed her nearly $2,200 in
wages and expenses. In an interview at the time, he admitted Germscheid was owed wages and said she had been let go “for nonperformance� shortly before he relinquished the franchise. The former Minneapolis nightclub owner also said at the time he was doing advisory work for the newly launched Applewood Rustic Grille in Burnsville, which has since closed. “Nobody goes into business to go out of business,� Gustafson says now. “I know a lot of small-business owners in this town that have — just in this town. Not to mention I know a lot of small-business owners all over the country as well. “Being an elected official does not give you any immunity from the economy in this country.� John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.
Former Lakeville PTO treasurer pleads guilty to swindle Oak Hills Elementary PTO coffers repaid after woman used cash for football tickets, hotels, spa treatments by Derrick Williams
LAKEVILLE
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A former treasurer of Oak Hills Elementary School’s parent-teacher organization pleaded guilty on June 21 to stealing more than $54,700 from the PTO’s coffers. Lisa Bostic Miller, 45, pleaded guilty to one felony count and one misdemeanor count of theft. Miller, a Lakeville resident, will be sentenced Aug. 18. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom hasn’t made a recommendation on the sentence yet, he said. The maximum penalty for the charges she pleaded guilty to is one year in the county jail, Backstrom said.
She was originally charged with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts of theft, but two counts were dismissed in a plea agreement with the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. Miller served as the PTO’s treasurer from May 2007 through May 2009. According to the criminal complaint, Miller began raiding the PTO’s bank account shortly after she lost her job in the banking industry in October 2008. Between May and September of 2009, records show the Oak Hills PTO’s bank account was used to
purchase season tickets for University of Minnesota football games, salon treatments, airfare, posh hotel accommodations in New York City and Breezy Point Resort in Brainerd, and cash withdrawals totaling more than $3,000, among other questionable purchases. According to a Lakeville Police Department search warrant, Miller was the only person with a debit card linked to the group’s account during the period when a number of “suspicious transactions� occurred. She also requested the PTO’s annual financial audit, scheduled for last May, be postponed, the
document said. The money has been paid back, but hadn’t been until Miller became aware of a police investigation, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com

Dakota County District Court offers web, phone payment for fines Recipients of payable citations due to District Court in Dakota and other counties can now pay their fines via an automated phone system or online using a credit card 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service is only available for citations that do not require a court appearance. Payments can be made by calling (651) 281-3219 in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, or toll-free at 1-800-657-3611. Payment can also be made through the Judicial Branch website www.mncourts.gov. A convenience fee will be charged for each payment made by phone or web. Payments may still be made in person at the courthouse or by mail. The service is being rolled out statewide over a two-year period as part of a Judicial Branch effort to reduce costs and improve service to the public. Under the project, the
processing of about 1 million payable citations each year is being transferred from local courthouses to a centralized Court Payment Center. The project also includes creation of a statewide call center to answer questions and direct callers to the appropriate location if a court appearance or other action is required. When complete, the project will reduce manual data entry, freeing up court staff for other case processing duties. It will also include the electronic filing of citations by many law enforcement departments directly into the court computer system, automated distribution of fine revenue to local governments and the state treasury, and automated referral of overdue fines to the Judicial Branch’s debt collection service. The other counties using the system are Goodhue, Le Sueur, McLeod, Scott, and Sibley.

Thisweekend Cancer free, Lakeville musician gives back with benefit concert Jug Jam will raise money for Fairview Foundation medical fund THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Iris Bouvet has a sense of humor about her battle with breast cancer. It manifests as bosom-related puns and wordplay. The June 27 concert she’s organized to benefit other breast cancer patients is called Jug Jam. And the refreshment menu at the concert includes cupcakes. “Cupcakes – cups, as in double-A or double-D,� the Lakeville resident said with a laugh. “The thing about cancer, and a lot of people will tell you this, is that you have to find the humor where you can.� Bouvet, who endured months of intense chemotherapy and underwent a double mastectomy, is hosting the concert from 2 to 6 p.m. at Family of Christ Lutheran Church in Lakeville as a way to celebrate her one-year anniversary of being cancerfree, and to raise money for
a medical fund through the Fairview Foundation that helped cover her treatment costs. “I had some genetic testing done that insurance doesn’t cover, and my doctor (Dr. Barbara Bowers of Fairview Southdale) has a fund for that,� Bouvet said. “I wanted to help somebody else in the same situation. It’s time to give back.� Bouvet, former music director at Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Burnsville, plays the electric bass and is active in the Good News Big Band, a Twin Cities-based Christian band that plays swing music. She also lends her skills to musicals by local theater groups such as Chameleon Theatre Circle and Eagan Summer Community Theatre.

What to watch for Pending sales in the Twin Cities housing market trended up for the first time in four weeks but remain substantially below 2009. For the week ending June 12 there were 674 signed purchase agreements, up from the mark of 527 the prior week but down dramatically from the mark of 1,210 seen during the same week a year ago. This may be a sign that the drastic drops in sales seen in May and early June were simply temporary aftershock reactions to the tax-credit build up and that demand will slowly return over the course of the summer, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far too early to say that with any certainty. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be keeping a close eye on the numbers each week.
New listings moved upward for the same reporting week to 1,729, but remain 12.2 percent behind last year at this time. However, inventory has slowly climbed due to the decline in pending sales, currently sitting at 26,990 active listings, an increase of 1.1 percent from a year ago.

Sports Panthers sixth at state LAKEVILLE NORTH by Andy Rogers
Coach, business teacher will take a leave of absence in 2011
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Lakeville North boys golf team has been sixth-best in the state for three years now. The Panthers placed sixth in the Class AAA state golf championship with a total of 624, two strokes behind Prior Lake and eight ahead of Eagan on June 15-16 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. In 2009 and 2008, the boys placed sixth, scoring 633 and 617, respectively, at the same course. This year, the boys team brought a few golfers to state for the first time. After the North players had one round under their collective belts, the team’s second-day score improved by 10 strokes. The team’s only senior, Tyler Goss, had the best score for North. He finished tied for 17th place. His two-day total was 153, which was a dramatic jump from a season ago when he finished in 87th place with 177.

Zweber steps down as head football coach at Lakeville North by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
As much as Mike Zweber loves football, some things are just more important to him. When ranking faith, family and football, faith and family come first. “There’s bigger things out there in the world,” he said. “This is one of the things I’m called to do.” Next school year, Zweber, head coach of the Lakeville North High School football team, will take the second semester off to go on a six-month mission trip with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a non-denominational international Christian organization, along with his wife and children. “It was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made,” Zweber said. “I’ve known this is the direction we’ve been going in for a while. It was something that is important for us to do.” He said he’s always told his students and players that sometimes making the right decision isn’t always the easy decision. This time he took his own advice. Although he won’t leave until second semester, he wanted to prepare for the trip. As a business teacher and the head of DECA – a student marketing and entrepreneurship club – at Lakeville North, he will take a leave of absence for second semester and return in fall 2011. But as the head coach for Lakeville North football, he has stepped down. He said he didn’t want to put the team on hold. “I don’t think I’m going Photo by Rick Orndorf Lakeville North’s Keandra Brion putts at the Class AAA to leave it behind forever,” state girls golf championships on June 16.

It became more and more evident that this was a time to do it” Brian Vossen, the defensive coordinator under Zweber for several years, will take over as head coach of the Panthers. It was approved by the Lakeville School Board on Tuesday night. “He’s wanted to take over a program for a while,” Zweber said. “The program will be in good hands. “ The offensive coordinator, Bob Kovich, plans to stay on as well. Varsity football practice will begin on Aug. 16.
It’s tons of fun. If the opportunity rises in the future, if it’s seventh grade Bsquad, I’ll be there.” Zweber has been the head coach of Lakeville North since 2005 when the school split with Lakeville South. He was an assistant under former Lakeville coach and current Lakeville South coach Larry Thompson for several years. The Panthers have qualified for state twice during his tenure, in 2007 and 2009. His career coaching record is 30-23. North’s best season was last year when the team went 9-3. Zweber grew up in Lakeville and played football for Lakeville High School. Zweber and his family will leave in the spring for Colorado Springs, Colo., and go through training with YWAM. Rogers is at From there, YWAM will Andy send them somewhere in the andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
Home runs at Target Field? No problem for Blaze by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
It’s still too early to define Target Field as “pitcher friendly,” but the lack of home runs in the park this season has been a hot topic. Minnesota Twins star catcher Joe Mauer has not yet hit a home run during the regular season at Target Field. During the Class AAA state finals last Saturday, Burnsville players Tom Sherman and Brandon Peterson each hit one. It’s hard to imagine hitting home runs was part of Burnsville’s strategy in the state finals. Hitting the ball 350 feet is not something high school coaches can depend upon.

Suburban Conference title. Don’t think for a second life is going to be any easier now that Eden Prairie is off the schedule. That group of schools had a representative in the state baseball (Burnsville), softball (Burnsville), and boys team tennis (Eagan) finals. They also sent at least one team to the final four in girls (Lakeville) and boys (Eagan) state lacrosse tournaments. A significant portion of the golfers at the state tournament last week came from that group, including teams from Lakeville North boys, Eastview girls and Eagan boys. The list of track and field athletes at state would take up the rest of
this page. And that’s just spring. Just last school year Lakeville North girls basketball, Apple Valley wrestling, Lakeville South girls Alpine and Apple Valley boys soccer all won state titles. And don’t look past the addition of Prior Lake this fall. The school’s girls cross country team is one of the best in the state. Prior Lake’s boys golf, softball, baseball and wrestling teams have also had recent success. That’s why winning a South Suburban Conference title will be a significant accomplishment.

Retired Army man fights cancer battle Kurt Gundacker beats the odds to continue living and working by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
During his 30-year Army career, Kurt Gundacker was trained to stand tall in battle. But all the instruction he received could never have prepared him for the toughest battle he would face. Gundacker was given nine months to live after doctors removed a 4-centimeter-wide cancerous tumor that had metastasized on his brain in February 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it reached my brain, I knew it was curtains,â&#x20AC;? Gundacker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went through all the stages from denial to acceptance. I was already preparing where I was going to be buried.â&#x20AC;? That was 28 months ago.

He says having the best care available, especially at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, was crucial to his success. After he was diagnosed with a cancerous melanoma in a mole on his foot below his ankle in April 2003, he had it removed. Doctors then found microscopic melanoma cells in the lymph nodes in his groin and abdomen. To treat these, doctors prescribed leukine shots, of which he self-administered for 14 days on and 14 days off. Gundacker didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any problems until February 2008 when persistent headaches led him to the exam room where doctors found
