Curtains close on Pan-O-Prog Organizers say this year’s event, the 44th annual, featured record fundraising, attendance and volunteerism by Derrick Williams

LAKEVILLE

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Fantastic. Amazing. Wonderful. There are a lot of words and statements that can describe the 44th Panorama of Progress festival in Lakeville, but the most appropriate may be “record setting.” According to organizers, this year’s Pan-O-Prog, which officially ended on July 11, featured record attendance for many events and attractions, record fundraising, and record numbers of volunteers. “I can’t believe this festival sometimes,” said Jim Dunn, this year’s Pan-O-Prog president.

for a way for people to recognize the businesses that stepped up,” he said. “They don’t have to. It’s hard for businesses. But they do it to make sure we have a great festival.” There’s no way to officially count attendance, but Dunn said some 30,000 people were downtown on July 9 for Cruise Night, and another 18,000 made it to downtown for the parade on July 10. “We really appreciate the people that came out, and I hope they enjoyed what they saw,” Dunn said. “Not to mention, we got away with some great weather.”

year’s president who is still a board member, said many if not all event chairs reported record attendance. “The support from this community – it’s great,” she said. Dunn said the fact attendance was so high is outstanding, and that led to a lot of new faces among the familiar volunteers for the event. “We’d be nowhere without the people who line up to contribute,” Dunn said. Another record this year was the fundraising and business support from the Photo by Rick Orndorf community, Dunn said.

Educator, father, community leader Don McGuire dies

Miss Lakeville crowned

Former Lakeville schools superintendent ‘always put others before himself’ by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Donald J. McGuire, a man who was as well known for his smile and positive attitude as he was for his contributions to the Lakeville community, died July 13. He was 82. The milestones and depth of McGuire’s career and service to Lakeville could run for pages, his son Tim said. “I can say that he was someone to admire. I had total admiration for him and I was truly honored and blessed to have had him as a father,” Tim, 47, said. “I’m just so proud. He always put others before himself. Always.” McGuire served as superintendent of Lakeville schools from 1960 until he retired in 1982. Before that, he served as principal at Lakeville High School for two years. Upon leaving Lakeville schools,

LAKEVILLE McGuire served as superintendent of Dakota County Vocational College, now Dakota County Technical College, until he retired in 1989. “Don was such a very special person to all of us Don in the Lakeville commuMcGuire nity,” said former Lakeville city administrator, current school board member, and friend to McGuire, Bob Erickson, 64. “He gave so much back. He was an extraordinary educator, coach, humanitarian and human being. We’ve lost a special person.” McGuire was also very active in the community. He was a devoted member of the Lakeville Lions Club, was active See McGuire, 5A

Dew Days 2010 organizers report returning many events to downtown Farmington was a hit that helped this year’s festival finish with $8,000 in the bank. Brian Lindquist, chair for 2010 Dew Days committee, told the Farmington City Council on July 6 that the funds will be used to pay off a portion of the city’s $23, 271 loan to Castle Rock, Eureka, Empire and Farmington Enhancement Group. The nonprofit CEEF, which backs Dew Days financially, obtained the

FARMINGTON loan in October 2009 after Farmington’s summer festival went into debt. This year’s approximate $8,000 fund balance came from carnival proceeds, parade entries, arts and crafts vendor fees and Dew Days buttons sales. Another reason Dew Days ended up in the black was because the bands that played downtown did so for free. Kyle Tharalson lined up the bands and the sound system, Lindquist said. Lindquist thanked businesses that sold carnival tickets and changed

Miss Lakeville looks forward to being ambassador Jenna Diercks wants to give back to Lakeville by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When Jenna Diercks was in fifth grade, she spent a month in the hospital. Her appendix had ruptured and caused complications that required multiple surgeries. “For a time, I was in pretty rough shape. I was worried,� said Diercks, now 19. One of the things that got her through the ordeal was the support she received from people she didn’t even know. “The community supported me. I received cards from kids at my elementary school, neighbors I barely knew visited me in the hospital – everyone was so supportive,� Diercks said. “There is no way I could repay everyone for what they did.� But she figured she could try. That’s why Diercks entered the Miss Lakeville Scholarship Pageant, which she won on July 7. “I figured it would be a wonderful way to give back to and serve the community that gave so much to me,� the 2008 Lakeville North High School graduate said. The decision to enter the pageant was something of a last-minute one, but it was pageant director Kristen Babcock who offered the final push to enter, Diercks said. “I wasn’t sure if it was for me, or if it was something I could handle,� Diercks said. “I’ve always been nervous speaking in front of crowds, but last year’s Miss Lakeville, Katie Kranz, and (Babcock) convinced me to try.� Babcock said she’s happy she pushed her to try. “I’m thrilled for her,� Babcock said. “One of my favorite things about the pageant is to see how each one of the contestants improves from practice to

LAKEVILLE practice and (Diercks) is no different. All of our ambassadors are excellent this year.� And being an ambassador is exactly what Diercks is looking forward to. “I’m honored that I get to represent Lakeville. I can’t describe the feeling when I think about that,� Diercks said. As Miss Lakeville, Diercks will be taking part in other local festivals as well as the St. Paul Winter Carnival as visiting royalty. She will compete in the Aquatennial Queen of the Lakes Pageant in Minneapolis next summer. In addition, Diercks will receive a $2,000 scholarship she can use for college. She’s currently attending Bethel University where she studies elementary education and Spanish. It’s a lot to add for a woman who is active with her church, Faith Covenant Church in Burnsville, along with being a lifeguard at the Apple Valley Aquatic

one day being one.� Diercks said the enormity of the situation has been humbling. “First it’s rehearsals. Then you’re meeting these girls and you become friends with all of them,� Diercks said. “Then you do the pageant and you’re in front of a huge crowd and then you’re standing there on stage and your knees are shaking and you think, ‘I gave it my best.’ Then they call my name and it doesn’t even feel real. I was just walking forward like in a dream. I couldn’t believe it.� Diercks said she’d recommend to anyone who’s even thought of being Miss Lakeville to give it a try. “Why not try? You have this chance and the least that could happen is that you don’t win,� Diercks said. “The things that I learned this summer – interviewing and public speaking – that in itself is a reward. This is so much more than just a pageant.�

The counties have really picked up where the state and feds have been cutting through the years, so people haven’t really felt that,� Harder said. During the committee meeting discussions, Smith said the county is planning for a $10 million reduction in the 2011 budget. To accomplish it, county department heads have been instructed to cut a total of $5.5 million to $7 million from their budgets, and the remaining gap will be filled with countywide costsavings strategies. Social Services is being asked to reduce its budget by between $1.9 million and $2.4 million; Operations, Management and Budget Department to cut between $983,000 and $1.2 million, while the Public Services and Revenue Department has been asked to cut between $934,000 and $1.2 million. Other departments have been asked to make cuts ranging from $351,000 to $746,000. Another concern is what the state will do to cover its own budget deficit. Smith said the county could potentially lose about $26 million in general aid if

the state decided to make funding cuts. “The question is how quickly we expect these revenues to disappear,â€? Smith said. “These are various forms of aid from the state. ‌ If we didn’t get that money, the mandates (to provide services) would not disappear,â€? County Administrator Brandt Richardson said. To prepare, commissioners and staff have taken surveys that ask them to prioritize county services to avoid across-the-board cuts and instead target areas to reflect the county’s priorities. Biggest priorities include safety concerns, which would prioritize legal and jail operations. Commissioners briefly discussed additional options, which ranged from raising taxes to employee layoffs, but no decisions were made. “I don’t think by any means this is an overreaction. I also think that on the other side, worse-case scenario, that we’ll be back doing this again next year, on the same level,â€? Richardson said. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

with All Saints Catholic Church, and over the years, was a de facto member of “just about every civic group in Lakeville,� according to former mayor Duane Zaun. “His knowledge and background of the community was tremendous. Civic groups would say, ‘Let’s call superintendent McGuire on this,’ � Zaun, 71, said. “And there wasn’t a group or person that (McGuire) wouldn’t help out.� Zaun said he and McGuire became friends when he was hired as a teacher in Lakeville in 1962.

We shared a lot.� McGuire’s son Pat said he’ll always remember his father’s ability to find time for everyone. “It didn’t matter your walk in life, he always took the time for everyone,� Pat, 56, said. “He always treated people with respect.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Budget ailing, but marriage could be state’s noisiest topic by T.W. Budig ECM CAPITOL REPORTER

One of the biggest stories of next legislative session could have nothing to do with the ailing state budget. It could have to do with exactly who can marry whom. Currently, there’s a lawsuit in Hennepin County District Court brought by three same-sex couples that’s attempting to legalize samesex marriage in Minnesota by arguing the prohibition is unconstitutional. OutFront Minnesota, the state’s leading GLBT group, doesn’t support the lawsuit, one official questioning whether the current Minnesota Supreme Court would ever rule favorably should the suit get that far. Amy Johnson, OutFront Minnesota executive director, indicated a legislative approach to samesex marriage was preferable. Although same-sex marriage legislation did not advance

last session, a related bill reached the desk of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty. The bill, carried in the House by Rep. Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, dealt with the disposal of human remains and contained the term “domestic partners.” It passed the House late session on 78-55 vote. It was not party line. Some Greater Minnesota Democrats, including representatives Gail Kulick Jackson, of Milaca, and Al Doty, of Royalton, voted with Republicans against the bill. Pawlenty vetoed it, arguing the bill was needless.

Plans to bring legislation back Murphy plans to bring the legislation back next session. Her approach, she explained, is to change existing discriminatory law. A discussion is currently taking place among Minnesotans on the

issue of same-sex marriage, Murphy said. But she believes the state is “not probably ready yet” for same-sex marriage to become law, she said. Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, would “gamble” that if the makeup of the DFL-controlled House remains more or less the same, a DFL governor in place, a samesex marriage bill could pass the Legislature and be signed into law. But are the DFL gubernatorial candidates actually ready to sign a same-sex marriage bill? All three major DFL candidates say there are. “I would sign it, and I would sign it because I believe it’s a matter of the Golden Rule — it’s doing unto others as you would want have done unto you,” DFLendorsed gubernatorial candidate House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-Minneapolis said. Former House minority leader Matt Entenza of St. Paul and former U.S. senator Mark Dayton,

the other two major DFL candidates, also express a willingness to sign a same-sex marriage bill if one reached their gubernatorial desk. Dayton quotes the Declaration of Independence — the idea of certain unalienable rights — in expressing his support for same-sex marriage. “And I believe that should include the right of an adult citizen of this country to marry the person that he or she loves,” Dayton recently said. He would be surprised, Dayton said recently, if a same-sex marriage bill could currently get through the Legislature.

supporter of the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Those who remember the constitutional amendment debate of the last decade remember thousands flooding to the State Capitol, the amendment ensnared in budget negotiations, the emergence of then Republican state senator Michele Bachmann — now 6th Congressional District congresswoman — as a statewide figure.

plus events, you are the reason for Pan-O-Prog. Thank you for coming out in record numbers this year. Finally to the area businesses that generously support Pan-O-Prog through sponsorships, we are so grateful for you. In spite of an economy that has many of us tightening our belts, our sponsors again came through to provide the funds necessary to put on our festival. So often I hear of festivals throughout the state that have to scale down or even cancel their festivals due to lack of financial support. The Pan-O-Prog Board realizes how fortunate we are for the area businesses who step up to make ours a vibrant summer celebration. It is my hope that those who enjoy Pan-O-Prog recognize this as well. We list our sponsors on our website www. panoprog.org. Please support those who support us. See you next year.

Most of us know that this massive debt has amassed over time as a result of overspending in many areas by Congress and Administrations by both parties. He states that “we read of the desperate Gulf Coast fishermen (plural) committing suicide.” The news reports that I have read and heard tell only of the unfortunate suicide of one fisherman (singular). My observation of Mr. Niedermayr’s letters seems to always reveal a less than honest and tactful prelude to an attack on his target – Congressman John Kline. Those who know Kline know that honesty is his lifelong trademark. Those who have done business with Kline’s congressional office know that he has put together a well organized, professional and responsive office for constituent’s needs. It seems that Mr. Niedermayr is willing to abandon all five of his own desired attributes of political discourse in order to take another shot at Kline. I suggest that the rest of the common sense public sees through this also.

LEON W. ORR Farmington

To the editor: The opinion column in June “Every Minnesota student deserves chance to succeed” by David C. Olson should be another wake-up call to everyone concerned about the futures of all of our youths and adults as well. It won’t matter a bit to the prospective employer what Education Minnesota’s agenda is if the job seeker facing him or her doesn’t qualify for the job offered. Even when the economy has been good, too many people have remained unemployed or restricted in advancement because they lacked the skills employers are looking for. Those who try to go into business on their own soon find out that path requires both skills and capital without which failure is almost certain. We have been big brothers, mentors, teachers, adjunct professors and professionals who hire and we agree with JIM DUNN David C. Olson that the op- Pan-O-Prog president portunities are being missed.

To the city of Lakeville, which helps us with the extra city services required to have 70,000-plus people out and about, we value your partnership. To the community who comes out to enjoy our 50-

To the editor: This is in response to ongoing political letters from Joe Niedermayr, the latest in particular in the July 2 edition. He starts by nicely stating how “We ought to restore honesty, civility, tact, common sense and enlightenment in our political discourse.” He then goes forward in his own letter to violate all of those virtues. His tirade assigns our “$15 trillion in national debt” to the ongoing Middle East wars. This does not pass the test of “truth, common sense and enlightenment.”

Finally, a candidate who stands up for the Constitution

unconstitutional because they did away with free speech. Later on in 1854 the Wisconsin State Legislature declared the Fed’s Fugitive Slave Laws unconstitutional because the state of Wisconsin did not want to return runaway slaves to their masters. I would hope that Heinzman is not opposed to free speech and is not in favor of slavery. Yet his position would suggest that if the federal government passed laws prohibiting free speech or bringing back slavery, he would be first in line to defend those laws, due to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

poorly run organizations the world has ever seen – act monopolistic? There is a great new book out by distinguished Harvard historian Thomas Woods called “Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century,” that traces the rich tradition of nullification in American history. I highly recommend it. As for candidate Tom Emmer, I had not really looked into his positions on issues yet. But after Heinzman’s article, I am really excited to see what Emmer has to say.

Legal arguments aside, just think of the possibilities citizens could have if states exercised their authority to nullify federal laws. If you didn’t want to pay into Social Security – the world’s greatest Ponzi scheme – move to a state that has declared it unconstitutional. If you think Obama’s health care reeks of socialism, move to a state which won’t enforce it. Bush’s wars disgust you? Find a state that refuses to fund them. Just as consumers have choices, wouldn’t it be great if American citizens had choices? We all hate a monopoly. So why would we ever let the federal government – one of the most

The fact that Minnesota and the Twin Cities in particular are faring better than much of the rest of the country in the current economic climate is not a coincidence. It is what I consider to be a consequence of this. And capturing that creative energy right here in Burnsville makes our community a more attractive destination for new businesses, skilled labor and visitors. The demands of this new economic reality require that we provide solid value to our patrons and search for creative ways to keep the facility utilized to its full capacity. Although some of the many activities happening here don’t make the front pages, we rarely have a day without an organization or group making use of our building. And as a key community resource, that is really what it is all about. I’d like to take this oppor-

tunity to welcome a couple of other new additions to our staff. Jean Martinson is our new business manager. In addition to her responsibilities for financial reporting, accounting, and human resource administration, Jean also oversees our concession operations. Kandice Nelson is a Burnsville resident who joins us as director of marketing. Kandice brings national marketing experience as well as an understanding of our local community. As a team we bring a new commitment, new ideas and fresh energy into an already exciting and successful facility. We look forward to collaborating with the newly formed Performing Arts Center Advisory Commission, working with them to enhance every aspect of our operation. Their experience and commitment will be a valuable addition to the center. Jon Elbaum is the second executive director of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

Thisweekend Ex-football player finds his calling – in opera Former BHS defensive tackle Thomas Richards returns to Burnsville this summer for ‘Titanic’ by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When Thomas Richards was a defensive tackle on the football team his junior year at Burnsville High School, gridiron-related ankle injuries proved to be a blessing in disguise. Sidelined from sports, he decided to try out for the school musical. “He came in and he looked like a typical football player, but then he started singing and his voice was just beautiful,� Nicole Marschall, longtime vocal director in Burnsville High’s theater department, said of Richards’ first audition. “He quit football after that.� Needless to say, Richards, a 2006 graduate of the high school, got the part. More roles followed, and his football cleats began to gather dust. “He found his passion,� Marschall said. Now, after spending four years at college earning a degree in music, he’s set an

ambitious goal for himself. “My ultimate goal has been set for a while: I want to be a professional opera singer,� said the recent George Washington University graduate whose voice type is bass baritone. “Whether I can make a living at it or not is anybody’s guess.� Before he takes the next step in bringing his dream of an opera career to fruition and begins graduate work at Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music in the fall, Richards is spending the summer back in his hometown, and is cast as Capt. Smith in Second Stage Theatre Company’s presentation of the ensemble musical “Titanic� at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

Despite humidity, housing demand is in a dry spell continuing into the future). In other words, the credit shifted would-be summer buyers forward. There aren’t enough buyers left to sustain March and April sales figures. A short-term demand spike was created at the expense of long-term market stability. “It is somewhat puzzling that demand is this flimsy considering interest rates are at 50-year lows,� said MAAR president-elect Pat Paulson. “Until macroeconomic indicators such as unemployment and job churn improve, the housing market isn’t likely to make large strides.� All information is according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors based on data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota Inc.

contracts from last June. Seller activity also slowed considerably, with 7,278 new properties coming onto the market. In terms of year-to-date figures, pending sales only decreased 8.5 percent while new listings posted a 2.1 percent increase. Active listings remained fairly constant, with inventory checking in at 26,665 for June, a minor 1.8 percent increase over June 2009. The supply-demand ratio increased 46.9 percent to 7.44, primarily due to declining demand. This means that there are about 7.4 homes available per buyer for July. The effect of the tax credit is becoming clearer with time. March and April enjoyed record-breaking performance at the cost of June and July (and possibly

Although June saw a 4.9 percent year-over-year median sales price increase from $173,500 to $182,000 in the Twin Cities metro, low demand overshadowed those gains, according to a Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors press release. The sales price reflects the mix of homes that were selling – many of which were closings from creditmotivated first-time homebuyers. The big shift occurred in the pending sales metric, which had a 40.4 percent year-over-year decline from June 2009. The previous record high was a 27.6 percent year-over-year pending sales decline and it occurred 4 years ago. “Thinning demand once again eclipsed price gains in June,� said Brad Fisher, president of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. “It’s still unclear whether demand has catfished or not, and just when and how prices will respond to the lagging demand.� The price gains registered across the board, but the foreclosure category had the greatest price increase of 8.7 percent. Traditional and short sales saw year-over-year price gains of 3.6 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively. Looking a bit closer, the median sales price for traditional homes was $217,000, foreclosures were $125,000, and short sales were $152,000. The traditional sub-market (non-foreclosure, and nonshort sale) had a 41.5 percent pending sales decline while foreclosures had a 40.7 percent decline. Short sales actually had an 11.0 percent increase in pending sales but comprised less than one-fifth of the market. There were 3,465 signed purchase agreements in June, a decrease of 2,347

and recognize their unique joys and sacrifices, address their fears and hopes and explore how their parent’s deployment is affecting their lives,� said Sherman in an interview. The book is a series of casual conversations or blogs written by four fictional teenagers whose parents are deployed in the military. Each teen blogs about his or her feelings and experiences before, during and after a parent is deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Even though the characters are fictional, the stories are real and a compilation from teens who have worked with the Rand Corporation, a research company. Each teen expresses pride in a parent’s military service, sadness, anger and confusion regarding deployments and the excitement of the homecoming. Other issues covered are depression, the challenges of family reconnecting after deployment and finding a “new normal,� and the military parent’s emotional and physical challenges like post traumatic stress disorder. The genesis for the book came after Michelle Sherman’s professional work with veterans and mili-

In the book, teens share lessons on how to better understand a parent’s deployment. Some ways to cope can be sticking to a regular schedule, staying busy, hanging out with other military kids and helping other children. At the end of the book, teens can write their own story, song, letter or poem to express their feelings. As a French teacher and dance and theater instructor, Sherman lives in Woodbury where she has used the responses from the book as a pilot program to teach youth at special camps designed for military teens. “As wars in the Middle East continue, many of our service members are experiencing long and repeated deployments and having your parents halfway around the world in a combat zone for a long time can be tough on everybody,� Sherman said.

tary families. “My daughter came to me five years ago and said there were real needs to reach out to the children of veterans,� Sherman said. Deployment and parent separation is hard on the whole family, Sherman said, but research shows how it is more difficult for teens, especially for female teens. “Sometimes teens feel sad and lonely and other times they feel proud and excited or even angry and resentful and that’s all normal,� said Sherman. Military teens can face insomnia, troubles with grades, more sibling fighting, higher rates of depression and even suicide attempts, Sherman said. “Their heart rates are higher and their blood pressure is higher and that is the physiological response of not being healthy and living with constant anxiety,� said Sherman. She said many military children and teens are doing very well and learn healthy ways to cope.

Going offroad in the metro Rebecca Sauber is one of the top mountain bikers in the state by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

While biking is one of the more popular activities in Minnesota, the idea of mountain biking is easy to dismiss. For one, there are few mountains in the metro area. For various reasons, the extreme sport mountain biking has also attracted more men than women. But for Farmington resident, Lakeville special education teacher and Rosemount High School alumna Rebecca Sauber, none of those factors stopped her from getting on a mountain bike and becoming one of the top racers in the state. “You have to be willing to crash,” Sauber said of her experience on the trail. “I’ve been to the emergency room twice with stitches. “You have to be willing to take a risk. I get scared sometimes, too. You end up going over the bars, sometimes. That just happens.” Sauber rides six to 20 hours a week – more when she’s training for something like the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Rice in Colorado. She traveled to Colorado last year to compete at the highest race in North America, which attracts top-tier athletes such as Lance Armstrong. She primarily races in the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series as well as the White Tail Ridge races in River Falls, Wis., and Buck Hill

Thursday night Mountain Bike Series. At the races at Buck Hill in Burnsville, Sauber will see about 80 guys competing while the number of females is in the single digits. That doesn’t mean the competition is weak. “It’s surprising but there’s some really strong bikers that do well nationally,” Sauber said. “Even though we don’t have mountains, we can still hang.”

Wheels are a smoother ride Sauber once focused on running as her source of exercise, until her knees started hurting. She decided to pursue something that didn’t pound on her joints over and over, so she kicked up the stand on her mountain bike. She won her first race in the citizens series on a bike from Target. Figuring that was a good sign, she kept on riding. During the last five years she bought a bike from Penn Cycle and moved up into the pro category. She races at least once a week in races in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Sauber is one of the top three female mountain bike racers in the state along with Jenna Rinehart from Mankato, who was a national champion, and Duluth’s Sara Kylander-Johnson.

“They’ve been at it a lot longer,” Sauber said. “It’s hard to compete against them since they don’t work and I work a full-time job.” She’s gathered sponsors along the way. Sauber is on the Larson Cycle team out of Cambridge and she’s a factory rider for Ergon Bike Ergonomics.

No mountains, no problem When she’s not racing, Sauber can be found in the south metro at one of many mountain bike single tracks. Her bike has gone up and down the hills at MurphyHanrehan Park Reserve in Savage, which is known for its steeper inclines, narrow treads, and sharp turns. Obstacles include boardwalks, rock gardens and various drops, but there’s also a beginner’s loop. “It’s a longer course and it can be pretty challenging,” Sauber said. The trails at Lebanon Hills in Eagan are fast, smooth and winding. Lebanon Hills provides a challenge thanks to plenty of obstacles such as rock beds and log piles. It’s one of the most popular spots in Minnesota. She’ll also try out Terrace Oaks in Burnsville, which is a quicker trail with few tight spots.

Hundreds of volunteers behind every tournament Burnsville successful at state slowpitch championships at Lac Lavon by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville earned the right to host the tournament six months ago. “It’s been pretty much non-stop working toward putting things together ever since,” Boeder said. The top three teams in each age division – including 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U – qualified for nationals in LaGrange, Ga., from July 29-Aug. 1. All four Burnsville teams won their respective age brackets. “Burnsville is highly regarded as a really good traveling slowpitch program,” Boeder said. “It’s a sport that they’re going to play for the rest of their life.” It’s not the same game the varsity program at the high school played so well this spring, winning a state title. That game features pitches that approach the speed limit on the highway. Slowpitch is similar to the adult leagues that fill fields all summer long. The pitcher lobs the ball to the batter instead of winding up to put a little blur on the ball. Three years ago, a traveling slowpitch team was added to the list of activities for the Burnsville Athletic Club. “We saw other teams that wanted to play at the higher level,” Boeder said. “We decided to take some higherlevel girls to tournaments.”

Summer is prime time for youth athletics and weekend tournaments. With no school to worry about, young people can run around all day. But that doesn’t mean it’s all play and no work. Last weekend, Burnsville hosted the Minnesota Amateur Softball Association girls slowpitch state championship for 30 teams in the 12-18 age groups. The tournament featured the best teams in the state including Burnsville, Richfield, Bloomington, Glen Lake, Champlin and Andover. The tournament didn’t run itself. It took almost 100 volunteers to work during the two-day tournament at Lac Lavon Park in Burnsville. “It took pretty much every parent in our organization,” Burnsville slowpitch vice president Terry Boeder said. “About 70 girls signed up for traveling slowpitch and 97 percent of the parents stepped up and volunteered over the weekend.” Volunteers helped with concessions, gate admission, and field maintenance. Cindy Dack was one of the lead volunteers at the tournament. “There’s a lot of running around planning different things like food,” she said. Rogers is at “Trying to get the parents to Andy volunteer, that’s the hardest andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. part.”

Don’t let transferring schools ruin your year by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

I’ve learned in the past few years the word “transfer” is considered a swear word in the sports writing business and should be avoided at all costs. The word gives people an icky feeling. People hate the idea that a rival team might have better players. Coaches hate the word “recruited” even more. Everyone wants sports to be fair, even though pretty much nothing in life is fair. I’ve heard rumors of students living at the homes of coaches to fulfill residency

PRESSBOX requirements, to banks giving parents “special” loans to stay in town. I often don’t understand the hysteria from both sides of the spectrum. I don’t know why anyone would completely rearrange their life for their children’s sports interest. It’s seems relatively unhealthy to me. I also don’t know why anyone would get worked up about it either. Other people’s decisions will nega-

tively affect you your whole life. All you can do is make it worse by letting it get to you. In the world of sports, if you want to beat the best, you have to be the best. From my perspective, it’s easier to get a scholarship for college if you get good grades rather than leading your team in scoring. Receiving more exposure is one thing, but if you’re a good athlete, people will know. Going through the cost of moving or finding a new place to stay just to improve your child’s odds at a scholarship aren’t cost effective. There’s a saying I learned

a long time ago that rings true every day: I never understand why people spend their lives working jobs they don’t like, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.

Lakeville businessman faces 14 felony tax charges Man owes state more than $137,000 in taxes by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Lakeville man and small business owner is facing 14 felony tax charges after a lengthy Minnesota Department of Revenue investigation found he owed thousands of dollars of personal and business taxes to the state. Jerome Robert Rott, 57, owner of R Family Plowing and Yard Services LLC, owes more than $137,000 to the state, the Department of Revenue alleges. Each felony count could carry up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if Jerome is convicted. The investigation began last year after Rott’s wife, Connie Ruth Rott, 57, was charged by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s office for swindling her 89-year-old mother out of $1.1 million. Authorities began probing the family’s income taxes at that time, according to authorities, and that led to the Department of Revenue investigation into Jerome Rott. Four of the charges

against Jerome are for failing to pay income taxes, another four are for failing to pay sales taxes, an additional four are for failing to pay withholding taxes and the other two counts are for failing to pay business partnership income taxes. All but one of the counts stem from failing to pay taxes from 2004 through 2007. One count is from 2009. Connie Rott was being investigated by the Medicaid Fraud Division of the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, which ultimately charged her with multiple counts of felony embezzlement. She was accused of selling three pieces of her mother’s land between 2004 and 2007, and keeping more than $1.1 million of the $1.3 million the land deals fetched, according to the state. She used the money to pay her mortgage, travel expenses accrued by her husband’s lawn business, as well as the costs of her son’s criminal defense associated with felony drug charges, according to the state.

The money was supposed to pay for her 89-year-old mother’s medical and nursing home expenses, the state said. According to Jerome’s criminal complaint, he and his wife started a small business called R Family Plowing and Yard Services LLC in 2005. An investigation found their services were subject to taxes, but most returns were not filed for the business and allegedly no sales or withholding taxes were paid to the state. Calls to the assistant attorney general handling Connie’s case, and calls to the Dakota County Attorney’s office in regard to Jerome’s case, weren’t immediately returned.
