Rising Stars Preschool will open in August to offer full-day, year-around preschool off Elm Street in the Farmington City Center shopping area in the former Edina Realty office space.

A 56-year-old Burnsville man was charged on July 6 in Dakota County District Court with felony issuance of a dishonored check in connection with his company’s account ringing up over $46,000 in bad checks. The alleged crime was reported March 29 after an over-the-road truck driver reported he received two checks that were dishonored from Farmington-based Dragon Creek Carriers owned and operated by Peter William Strand, according to a criminal complaint. The checks issued Dec. 21 and 30, 2009, totaled $2,069.76. There reportedly was a negative balance in the account of $4,172.57 as of
FARMINGTON Dec. 30. Multiple demands for payment were sent to Strand, but no response was received, according to the complaint. A review of the account records showed that the account was opened on March 9, 2009, and closed April 7, 2010. During the time the account was open approximately 57 dishonored checks with a total amount of $46,322.69 were issued. If convicted of the crime, the maximum sentence is five years in prison and/or up to $10,000 in fines. Tad Johnson is at editor. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Berry Plastics to close plant, eliminate 95 jobs
City, company trying to help displaced workers
by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Berry Plastics, a large plastics manufacturer with a plant in Lakeville, is closing its Airlake Industrial Park location. Some 95 workers will be permanently laid-off as early as Aug. 13, according to the city of Lakeville. The city’s Economic Development Specialist Adam Kienberger said the city received a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification from Berry Plastics
on May 13 alerting the city to the plant’s closure. A call to Berry Plastics’ corporate office in Evansville, Ind., was not immediately returned. According to the city of Lakeville, the closure was a result of Berry Plastics acquiring another company that manufactures the same type of plastic film produced at the Lakeville facility but with newer production equipment. Kienberger said the Department of Employment
and Economic Development has been working with workers, Berry Plastics and the city to try and offer placement services and retraining for the soon-to-be displaced workers. Berry Plastics manufacturers injection-molded plastic packaging, thermoformed products, flexible films and tapes and coatings. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com
Man charged with felonies after taking photographs of minor A 37-year-old Lakeville man was charged on July 1 with five felonies after he allegedly attempted to lure a 16-year-old girl into a photographic “modeling� shoot at the Dakota County Western Service Center in Apple Valley on Nov. 23, 2009. Sunil Jaigobin Ramlall was charged with harassment/stalking of a minor victim; attempted use of a minor in a sexual performance; attempted possession of pornographic work involving a minor; and two counts of interference with the privacy of a minor.

were recovered on the hard drive of his laptop computer, of the 16-year-old girl in a variety of revealing clothes he supplied to her. Ramlall, who at the time was a professor at Hamline University, met the victim on Nov. 9, 2009 at a Lakeville coffee shop and told her he knew someone who was looking for models to pose for tourism media campaigns. He then began a series of e-mail communications with the victim, some of which were with a fictitious character named “Jason Garcia.� Ramlall admitted to police he was posing as Garcia in
the e-mails after he was arrested by the Apple Valley Police Department on July 1. After the photo shoot, Ramlall made several email communications with the victim implying that he wanted to see her socially. In December 2009, the victim became uncomfortable with Ramlall’s behavior and reported the matter to the police. He made his first court appearance on July 1. Bail was set at $10,000 with conditions or $40,000 without conditions. His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 20. – Tad Johnson

Husband donates kidney for wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third organ transplant surgery Apple Valley couple to speak in New Jersey by Laura Adelmann
APPLE VALLEY
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
In 2009, facing her third organ transplant surgery, Stacy Raye Waibel, 47, was primarily concerned for her kidney donor, husband Wayne Waibel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knocking on deathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door and all she can worry about is everybody else,â&#x20AC;? Wayne said, shaking his head. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year since the Apple Valley coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful transplant experience, and this week they will speak about it in New Jersey to 2,400 employees of Rouche International. The company, which manufactures transplant medications Stacy takes, has also invited the couple to sell copies of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Worldâ&#x20AC;? childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book series Stacy
in 2003 eliminated Stacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diabetes. Stacy said undergoing so many surgeries and getting used to living without sight has been a challenge, but one she decided early on to accept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured out I have to keep going. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a long life ahead of me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can either sit around and mope or I can make the best of it.â&#x20AC;? The couple have already self-published â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudy Gets a Transplantâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Checkupâ&#x20AC;? in the Rudy series. The third, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On My Nose?â&#x20AC;? is due out this fall. For more information on the books, visit rudyslittleworld.com
authors to help others facing medical issues. Featuring a cartoon dog named Rudy based on the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real-life black teacup poodle, Stacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books explain in simple language the kinds of things children can expect when going for a checkup or undergoing surgery. The tales reflect a portion of the kind of experiences with doctors, hospitals and health complications Stacy has endured. At 19, Stacy lost her vision to juvenile diabetes, and in 1995, she underwent her first kidney transplant; the donor was Wayne and Stacy Raye Waibel, of Apple Valley, with their dog Rudy. Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger sister, Laura Adelmann is at laura. Tammy Waibel. A pancreas transplant adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Abiding by endorsement would have served DFL better by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Four weeks from now, we will know the candidate who will appear on the ballot carrying the banner for the Democrats in the race for governor. Since the endorsing conventions ended, Republicans have been working hard to rally behind their endorsed candidate – Tom Emmer, a state representative from Delano. The Democrats for their part have been stealing most of the headlines from Emmer, but I’m not so sure for good reasons. From the outset of the endorsing process, one that has seemingly worked well for both major parties for many years, former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton and former state Minority Leader Matt Entenza said they would not abide by the party endorsement and run in the Aug. 10 primary. I don’t like the message their decision sent to the delegates –
“Thanks for your service, but all your commitment was all for nothing. … Still, I’d like your vote in the primary.” I understand their rationale for not wanting to be beholden to the party endorsement since the process places the decision in the hands of a few delegates rather than a broader vote of the people. It is logical, but I rather prefer an endorsing convention (as Republican Marty Seifert did this year) because the volunteers who serve as delegates are often much more informed about the choices than those participating in a primary. Dayton and Entenza’s view that the endorsement comes at the hands of the few is also a matter of perspective. Voter turnout for primaries is often low, especially in this year’s non-presidential election cycle. Still, I will grant them that having about 30 percent of likely DFL voters (based on the
2006 election contested primary) is a broader indication of support. I’m sure their decision was not altogether altruistic. Dayton and Entenza have a significant amount of personal cash reserves from which to draw in funding advertising and campaign organization that exceeds what any candidate would have after emerging from this year’s DFL-endorsing process. The DFL-endorsed candidate, Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher, has handled the situation with skill and grace. She has decided to focus on the issues and traveled the state relying on a door-to-door grassroots campaign to build support. Dayton and Entenza have also done their share of on-the-ground campaigning, but they also are relying heavily on a flood of television advertising to boost their fortunes. I hope voters aren’t swayed much by these kinds of commercials and rather focus on the issues.
Other than differing backgrounds and leadership styles, I don’t see fundamental differences among the three DFL choices. Like many people, I view candidates through the lens of how they stand on issues of importance. For a governor, those criteria don’t change from party to party. People look to state government primarily for decisions regarding education, taxation, transportation and health care. In the past two editions of the Dakota County Tribune Business Weekly, the newspaper’s Capitol Commerce pages have featured each of the three candidates. ECM capitol reporter T.W. Budig has done a good job setting forth their perspectives on the issues in the stories, which can be found online at ThisweekLive.com under This Week in Dakota County. Though there are slight differences among the three with regard to the major issues, the trio’s views are in stark contrast to Emmer. My sense is that people who
lean left politically would support any of the three over Emmer. Since that is the case, wouldn’t it make more sense to abide by the party endorsement and rally money and support behind a single candidate as the Republicans have done this year? I like the idea of rewarding hard work and playing by the rules. The endorsement process, though flawed in some ways, is a rule that aims to set forth the two major party candidates early enough so those moderate undecided voters can see them debate each other rather than three of the same kind. Since I like rules, I guess I’ll endure the primary challenge because it is part of the game. DFLers will have to wait until Nov. 2 to find out if they made the right choice on Aug. 10.

Letters Property rights are being taken away To the editor: Laura Adelmann’s story exploring the impact of recently enacted water management ordinances in the Vermillion River watershed gave a human face to the controversy over these unpopular regulations and showed how they take away people’s property rights for vague, unsubstantiated public benefits. Shockingly, Dakota County Commissioner Joe Harris was quoted as dismissing the controversy over “so-called property rights,” as though such rights really don’t exist. Harris has made it his mission to enact and oversee this most ambitious confiscation of private property seen in these parts. Instead of taking responsibility for this unprecedented land grab, he attempts to deflect blame to the state and federal government, saying that they are the bad guys who took away property rights. He just happens to be taking advantage of that, so don’t blame him. When did they repeal the Constitution? I remember our Minnesota Legislature responding quite quickly to the overwhelming public demand for stricter limits on the government’s ability to condemn land using eminent domain statutes back in 2006. As a practicing attorney, I have closely studied these laws and concluded that the requirement that landowners give the government a conservation easement over buffer areas without compensation violates the Constitution. This isn’t a liberal/con-
servative issue. I’ve seen liberals and conservatives alike react in exactly the same way when their own land is threatened to be taken. The people who support such takings are generally do so because they think they’ll get something out of it. But after they take your neighbor’s property who will stand with you when the government wants yours? With a county commissioner who doesn’t believe in property rights, nobody’s property is safe.

problem is for state government to live within its means, just as the rest of us must do. If Minnesota state government spending had simply kept pace with inflation since 1960, we would now be enjoying a $27 billion surplus instead of a $6 billion “shortfall.” Minnesota does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem and only one of the two political parties (and its candidates) recognize that. We must all pick a side in November – no “compromises.” Pick the right side.
Moderation isn’t right
JERRY EWING Apple Valley
To the editor: Larry Werner’s tribute to moderation (“A moderate Republican reminds us of better days,” July 2) completely misses the mark. There is nothing to be gained from moderation for moderation’s sake. And compromise is almost never the correct solution to any problem. On the biggest problem facing Minnesota government – the budget – moderation and compromise are what caused our current disastrous state of affairs. Specifically, if one side of this “polarized political environment” wants to overspend by some $6 billion, and the other side wants the state to live within its means, what is the common ground on which they can and should agree? It isn’t a question of one side being unwilling to cooperate and “find solutions,” but rather that one side is right and the other is wrong! The correct and only solution to our budget
Can we have our cake and eat it? To the editor: At UMore Park, the University of Minnesota and the city of Rosemount can benefit by carefully studying and strategically accessing two opportunities: strip-mining of gravel deposits followed by development of a green community, and preservation of agricultural research resources (many under study for over 40 years) for continued improvements in food and fiber production for an increasingly hungry world. The key solution to this dilemma is determining how gravel deposits under non-agricultural lands (central and eastern UMore Park, north of County Road 46) can be utilized. As things stand right now, plans to begin mining gravel, and processing gravel and gravel products in a proposed 188-acre industrial operation will result in the eventual obliteration of all agricultural lands.

Additionally, from the report on June 17 in Thisweek Apple ValleyRosemount, it is apparent that the Rosemount City Council envisions the development of industrial operations (ancillary to gravel mining) will negatively affect future development of a sustainable community. I have to agree: fast forward this scenario another 15 years, and the west end of UMore Park will be a
thriving gravel pit with associated aggregate, asphalt and other plants, while the central and east end of UMore Park will continue to house abandoned concrete structures, possibly with contaminated soils underneath. Careful study and consideration of the size and accessibility of gravel deposits under the old Gopher Ordnance Works footprint (central and eastern UMore Park) is
needed before permitting the university to begin mining the western edge of UMore Park. This will ensure that the university remains in the leading edge of environmental and social responsibility while fulfilling its Land Grant Mission. ALFREDO DiCOSTANZO Rosemount University of Minnesota professor

Emmer changes the dynamic of gubernatorial campaign by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The upcoming election of a Minnesota governor in November has never been more important. It’s not too early to pay attention to what the candidates are saying. The campaign of five major candidates had been rolling along without much fanfare, until Republican-endorsed candidate Rep. Tom Emmer said he favors Minnesota having veto power over federal laws. In an op-ed piece in the StarTribune, Emmer cited an amendment he co-sponsored during the last legislative session, providing that a federal law would not apply in Minnesota unless that law is approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each house of the Legislature and signed by the governor. Emmer writes that the proposed Health Care Freedom Act would have given Minnesotans the chance to vote if they wanted to opt into the federal health care bill rather than have that choice taken from them. If Emmer had his way by vetoing the health care bill, thousands of uninsured Minnesotans wouldn’t have access to health insurance, those with pre-existing conditions could be denied health care and college students couldn’t have their health care benefits extended on their parents’ insurance policies. Imagine if Emmer’s proposal were to prevail nationwide, each individual state could vote up or down a federal law they didn’t like. Iowa could reject the immigration law. Wisconsin could decide if it wanted to pay a federal tax or not.
South Dakota could reject Social Security and set up its own retirement plan. In that same op-ed page of the StarTribune, David Lillehaug, a DFLer and former U.S. attorney says the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution provides that federal laws “shall be the supreme Law of the Land,” not withstanding anything in a state’s constitution or laws to the contrary. “When Minnesota became a state in 1858, it signed on to this form of Union,” said Lillehaug. Chances are Emmer’s attempt to assert the state’s supremacy over federal law would be declared unconstitutional. His support of this amendment, however, gives voters an insight into the thinking of the endorsed Republican candidate. The election to determine who will run against Emmer comes up in August. The principal candidates vying for that opportunity are Margaret Anderson Kelliher, the DFL-endorsed candidate, and DFL primary challengers Mark Dayton and Matt Entenza, and Tom Horner the Independence Party candidate. Up to now, Emmer has been quiet and not very specific in his campaign. His support of a measure where the state could reject federal laws has changed the dynamic of the race for governor.

reaches kindergarten. Rising Stars is planning to hire an additional fulltime teacher and a parttime aide, Mitchell said. Mitchell said when she worked in the travel industry after high school, she negotiated travel incentives and meetings contracts. She said she will transfer this business skill in her role as small business owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the people skills, negotiating skills and the organizational skills,â&#x20AC;? she said. To make her preschool stand out, Mitchell said she wants to find a balance between a loving, casual in-home child care and a nurturing commercial child care center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided to open my own small place that can teach the children before they head off to kindergarten in a homey place,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. Mitchell, who has previously taught Sunday school and helped at an in-home child care, wants to bring her experience to teach good manners and self-reliance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to teach more than what they need to know for kindergarten in the line of life skills, manners, family-style eating, how to sit at a table, pass
food and clear the table,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her curriculum will be similar to the Montessori teaching method, Mitchell said. Children will learn a daily routine of music, crafts and the learning circle, but children can choose how to occupy their free time play. The preschool will serve catered food that accommodates children with food allergies. The center also has special cots for nap time. Rising Stars will offer 1,980 square feet of indoor space for children. The preschool has 1,500 square feet of fenced area for outdoor play. After the interior remodel is finished next week, Mitchell looks forward to offering preschool tours. Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration for her work stems from seeing her own son learn something new. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love being with him and seeing my son when the light bulb goes off. I can see how he understands, and I get to hear what comes out of his mouth, then I am wondering where he came up with that,â&#x20AC;?

Thisweekend 30 years later, high school friends share the stage again Jeff McAlpin and Shelley Kothe are adding another chapter to their shared history in theater with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Music Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this month by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Two veteran actors who cut their teeth doing student and community theater in Dakota County in the 1970s return to the stage at Eagan High School this summer for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Music Man.â&#x20AC;? Jeff McAlpin describes himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;geeky theater kidâ&#x20AC;? when as a ninth-grader at Rosemount High School he goaded shy classmate Shelley Kothe into auditioning for the school play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dragged her into this little theater for the audition because I had a crush on her,â&#x20AC;? said McAlpin, who graduated from Rosemount High in 1979. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got the lead (in the play) and went on to star in every show in high school. She, of course, ends up dating the homecoming king and I end up being her best friend.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always take credit for her theater career,â&#x20AC;? he added
with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pushed her into it.â&#x20AC;? McAlpin and Kothe are cast this month in Eagan High School Summer Community Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Music Man,â&#x20AC;? which runs July 16-31 and is directed by south-metro theater stalwart Denny Swanson. Interestingly, both McAlpin and Kothe performed in the first summer theater show Swanson directed in Dakota County â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Ozâ&#x20AC;? at Apple Valley High School in 1977. McAlpin played the Scarecrow, while Kothe played an â&#x20AC;&#x153;assistant witch.â&#x20AC;? And it was through Swanson that Kothe found her calling. While McAlpin now works for Apple computers, Kotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day job is as a storyteller/presenter with the theater company Schiffelly Puppets based in Lakeville. She traces her interest in puppetry to another show Swanson

Cuisine from across the ocean Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen family will serve up Chinese food in Farmington by Kara Hildreth
FARMINGTON
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Restaurant owner Tony Weng beams with pride as he anticipates the opening of Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen in August and is excited to welcome diners to try his favorite Chinese cuisine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peking duck. Family-owned Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen will host a grand opening Aug. 9 in the downtown Farmington City Center location that formerly housed New Moon Buffet, which closed June 20. Co-owners Tony Weng, 28, and his younger sister, Joanna, will manage Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen and their mother, Juan Weng, will be the head chef. After working with their extended family to run the Peking Garden restaurant in St. Paul for 17 years that serves up hundreds of fresh lobster and crab dishes each week, Tony said his immediate family is ready to bring the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese specialties to Farmington. Before moving the Peking Garden to the Midway area, the family-run restaurant served customers on the University of Minnesota campus for 16 years. When asked how it is to work in a family business, Tony said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part is you get to see the whole family each day which is most enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? Growing up in the village of Canton, China, Tony
said his family immigrated to the United States when he was only 4 years old to seek a better life. After years of hard work and planning, the Weng family is embarking on the premiere of Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen as the dreams for his mother and father are coming true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom is very excited and she chose the name because our family is all working here together,â&#x20AC;? Tony said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is so much better here,â&#x20AC;? Tony said referring to the United States. Understanding how much time and dedication it will take to run a successful seven-day-a-week restaurant, Tony said he and his family are ready to bring excellent Chinese food to Farmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom is the hardest worker in the world, working 12 to 13 hours a day, six days a week,â&#x20AC;? Tony said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She loves it because she sees us and she loves cooking for others.â&#x20AC;? When his mother takes a day off from work, Tony said he can find her tending to her backyard vegetable garden where she grows 30 different kinds of Chinese vegetables. The Weng family lives in Lakeville only about six miles from the new restaurant. Tony said extended family members live within
IN BRIEF Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen will have a grand opening Aug. 9 at its downtown location at 115 Elm St., in Farmington City Center shopping center. The Chinese restaurant will offer a lunch buffet, full menu for family dining, Wi-Fi and mini bar. It will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and accept take-out orders at (651) 463-8880. a mile of each other. Prior to starting a restaurant in Farmington, the family studied the market and found that the community did not have a familystyle sit-down Chinese restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can come here and ask for a customized dish, and we are able to accommodate dishes like chicken with certain veggies and a certain sauce,â&#x20AC;? Tony said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also have some Szechuan or spicy dishes.â&#x20AC;? Tony said the restaurant will offer high-quality takeout entrees and customorder meals as it focuses on serving the best, freshest dishes in the dining room in the newly-renovated restaurant. Planning on 80 percent of its business to come from menu-order entrees,
Tony said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our restaurant at night time will focus on quality, family dining.â&#x20AC;? Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen will be ready to serve quick lunches to busy professionals with a lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have the freshest buffet with food coming out consistently in small amounts and then we will refill,â&#x20AC;? Tony said. Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen will offer catering for business luncheons and can accommodate 120 people for parties on site. The building is undergoing a remodeling with new carpets, wall coverings, wireless Internet and big screen TVs. The restaurant will have a new mini bar serving wine and beer. Wengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen plans to hire three additional staff before opening in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited about the opportunity of Tony and his family coming to town because they have a great background in the family restaurant business and are looking to make fine Chinese food that will be of good value,â&#x20AC;? said Tom
Wartman, owner, Farmington City Center property and strip mall. In deep appreciation of the sincere hospitality he and his family have received from local business owners and city staff, Tony said he has found people are more
warm and friendly in Farmington than the Twin Cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;American people are the nicest people there are, and we are so happy to be in Farmington,â&#x20AC;? Tony said. E-mail Kara Hildreth at: kara.hildreth@ecm-inc.com

New construction inventory is at more healthy level The surge in buyer activity the Twin Cities area saw over the last 12 months brought the inventory of new construction homes down to a much more healthy level than the market has seen in recent years, according to a press release from the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors, which serves Dakota County. In June there were 7.9 months of new construction supply, down from the mark
of 10.5 seen a year ago. With the initial weeks following the tax credit showing large declines in home sales, however, the region can expect that new construction sales are declining as well. The only price range thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeing its Months Supply of Inventory increase compared to a year ago is above $1 million. The 34.6 months available in that category represents a very high number, relative to historical
performance. Prices are softest in the condominium market, where the Price Per Square Foot has declined by 15.4 percent over the last 12 months from $165 to $139.

Farmington elementary teachers participated in a recent two-day workshop on word study that aimed to reveal how to better teach spelling, grammar and vocabulary instruction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers learned how to build on studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vocabulary in a fun and engaging way and how to make learning about grammar more meaningful for kids,â&#x20AC;? said Monica Summer, elementary literacy coach for the Farmington School District.

Meeks pointed to specific actions that will support higher achievement on the MCA math tests, including shifting textbooks down one grade at the middle schools that will attempt to accelerate student learning. Another action will include scheduling changes at the high school to help ensure students complete Algebra II prior to taking the 11th-grade math MCA. For detailed results, check online at www.farmington. k12.mn.us/learning.

Every four years when the World Cup is over, people start to ask the question: “Will soccer finally become popular in the USA?” Every four years and the answer remains: “It depends on who you ask.” Few people follow Major League Soccer like they do other professional sports. The local pro team NSC Stars don’t get the attention of even the St. Paul Saints. When the World Cup ends, the average sports fan won’t pay attention to professional soccer for another four years. But looking at the younger set, one will find that soccer is booming. It’s one of, if not the most popular youth sport in Minnesota. Children from 4 to 14 talk, think and play soccer all spring, summer and fall. Minnesota has its own
PRESSBOX version of a World Cup next week at the Schwan’s USA Cup at the National Sports Center in Blaine. Several area programs like Dakota REV, Lakeville, Eagan, Burnsville Fire, and Valley United will compete in various age brackets throughout the week. They will be among almost 1,000 teams from all over the world converging in Blaine. Teams from Thailand and Cayman Islands will have representation for the first time in the USA Cup. Teams from countries that have experienced recent hardship like Haiti (earthquake) and Iceland (economic collapse) have also made the trip this year. For these and other mil-
lions of Americans, they won’t wait another four years to watch soccer again.
Lakeville lacrosse honored After easily its best season since lacrosse became a varsity sport, the Lakeville girls coaching staff received recognition for their efforts. Kate Leavell, head coach of Lakeville girls lacrosse, and Debbie Minneman, assistant coach, were named Coach of the Year and Assistant Coach of the Year for Girls High School Lacrosse, by the Minnesota State Coaches Association. The team improved drastically this season qualifying for state for the first time since the team was founded four years ago. Team member Danica Cutshall was named All American for both her athletic and academic achievements.

Iversen going South
Local grad throwing Longtime Apple Valley baseball coach to lead Lakeville South baseballs for a living by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
When Mark Zeise announced he was stepping down as coach of the Lakeville South baseball team, Apple Valley’s head coach Al Iversen was a likely candidate to succeed him. He lives and teaches in Lakeville, where his two sons are in second and fourth grade. He is also a former assistant for the high school and American Legion teams. “A lot of coaches speculated I would go,” Iversen said. “I said I had I job at Apple Valley. (I told them) until the season is over, I don’t want it brought to my attention anymore.” The season is over and the attention was deserved. Iversen has resigned as head baseball coach at Apple Valley to become the varsity baseball coach at Lakeville South. He said the decision came down to what was best
for his family. Although his sons are too young for varsity ball, the opportunity to coach them in the future, rather than coach against them, made the decision easier. “I’ve had the opportunity to watch the coaches up here (coach their sons),” Iversen said. “The opportunity is just too great to pass up.” He would rather be the one to coach his sons in baseball and hug them after a win. Iversen coached at Lakeville before as an assistant with the varsity team from 1992-2000. He was also the coach of the American Legion team. After Lakeville finished as runner-up at state in 2000, Iversen took over at Apple Valley. Iversen led the Eagles since 2001 with a 148-96 (.607) record. His team captured the state title in 2006 and won the Lake Confer-
ence titles in 2002, 2004, and 2007. He couldn’t single out his favorite memory as the head coach. “All journeys have their own destination,” Iversen said. “Even the years when we weren’t on top of the conference there were some great memories.” Lakeville South has struggled since the school opened in 2005 with a 26-84 (.309) overall record, including an 0-21 season in 2007. The Cougars just finished their most successful campaign this spring with a 1012 record. “I won’t guarantee anything, but I’ll put my best effort forward,” Iversen said. Iversen didn’t foresee any major changes, but he would like to get more involved in the summer programs such as the traveling, in-house, Babe Ruth and American Legion teams.

Volleyball becomes a family matter Area players on Northern Lights club team finish second at nationals by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Sports sometimes start as a family activity and other times they evolve into one. Apple Valley’s Taylor Voss has both going for her on the volleyball court. She helped the Northern Lights 17-1, an allstar volleyball club team, place second at the Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships in Reno, Nev., on July 1. At the beginning of the tournament, Northern Lights 17-1 didn’t look like a team capable of finishing second. “We were just playing bad,” Voss said. Northern Lights didn’t play for five days prior to the tournament, so it took a while to get back in rhythm. “I definitely knew we could play better than that,” teammate Katie Habeck of Farmington said. Northern Lights lost its first two games, but the girls turned their play around to win the next four games and qualify for the final against the Michigan Elites. “I think we all worked really well together,” Habeck said. Voss and Habeck were named to the all-tournament team along with teammate Lisa Atkinson from Northfield. “I was really surprised,” Voss said. “That was a really big honor.”
