192 enrollment below projections Farmington schools administration says it is too early to tell if a trend is presenting itself by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Malt-O-Meal has expressed interest in building a 36,000-square-foot two-story office building on a 155-acre site east of its office in Lakeville. The site currently has utility and conservation easements.
Malt-O-Meal considers expanding Lakeville site by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Malt-O-Meal is considering turning its Lakeville site into a small multibuilding campus. The Northfield-based cereal company has recently expressed an interest in building a 36,000-squarefoot, two-story office building and parking space on 155 acres east of the MaltO-Meal building in Lakeville. According to City Administrator Steve Mielke, the company has not yet provided detailed plans. “To Malt-O-Meal’s credit they are looking long term with this,� Mielke said at an Oct. 25 City Council workshop where the council got its first look at the plans. Malt-O-Meal spokesperson Linda Fisher declined to comment on the potential for a new building.
The property, adjacent to Malt-O-Meal’s administrative building, which was purchased from New Morning Windows last year, currently has a utility and conservation easement that was granted in 1995 and prevents the property from being developed. According to city documents, the cereal company is asking Lakeville’s City Council to vacate the easement in order to develop the property. Malt-O-Meal opened its Lakeville office at 20802 Kensington Blvd. last February. The company relocated 120 administrative and technological research employees from its Northfield and Minneapolis offices to the former Hearth and Home Technol-
ogies building in Lakeville. The move allowed the company to segregate manufacturing from administration, Fisher said at the time. The city has no records explaining why the conservation easement was created, said Dave Olson, Lakeville’s community and economic development director. Either way, the utility easement would remain, he said. Single-family homes stand adjacent to the property. A natural berm and tree line screen most of the homes, Olson said. Malt-O-Meal has indicated it is willing to create additional screening, he said. The next step is for the city to meet with residents in the area, Olson said. “There’s not legal requirement, but seems like

the right thing to do,� he said. Currently, Malt-O-Meal is in the process of remodeling 29,000 square feet of warehouse at the current Lakeville building into office space, which will provide space for an additional 100 employees, Fisher said. This is in addition to Malt-O-Meal’s 200 Lakeville employees. The project will require additional parking, Olson said, adding that there is no easement hindering a lot from being created on the former Hearth and Home Technologies property. The conservation easement vacation, as well as any potential building plans, will still need City Council approval prior to moving forward. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com.
The numbers are in and they are lower than the District 192 administration’s budget targets. There were 6,433 students enrolled in Farmington Public Schools as of Oct. 20, which is 125 fewer than the 6,558 the district projected it would have for this school year, said Superintendent Brad Meeks. The margin seems slim, but Meeks told the School Board on Monday night it could mean a difference of $637,000 and present some financial challenges in the future. This is because the state funds school districts based on a per-pupil formula. “We’ve already hired

next budget.�
It’s elementary The grades that have felt the biggest hit are kindergarten and first, Meeks said. Middle school grades 6-8 also were under projections but the margin was slimmer. “We will take these numbers into account when building the budget for next year,� Meeks said.

Eight vie for just two Lakeville council seats One incumbent, seven outsiders to be on Nov. 2 ballot by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Lakeville will have at least one new member on the City Council following the Nov. 2 election, with two seats up for grabs but only one incumbent seeking reelection. Seven candidates, all of whom describe themselves as conservative, will join incumbent Kevin Miller in a crowded race for the two available seats. The other incumbent, Mark Bellows, decided to run for mayor instead of council, leaving his seat for the taking. Among the seven newcomers to the ballot are

Both candidates seek to protect K-12 funding from destructive cuts, but differ on the methods by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
It is a battle of sorts: how to preserve the quality of K-12 education in Minnesota during tough economic times. K-12 funding comprises 40 percent of state spending. With a $6 billion budget deficit (20 percent of the total state budget) looming, public school administrators and school boards across the state are bracing for cuts. In such an environment, it is no surprise that education is a campaign issue this year. But in State House District 36B, which encompasses Farmington and parts of Lakeville and Northfield, primary and secondary education have a special place in the dialogue because both the DFL and GOP candidates General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

Hurricane-like storm batters Lakeville, Farmington, state THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a semitrailer was overturned by a strong wind gust along Hwy. 52 near County Road 46 in Coates. Vonhof said the department was ready in the event something more serious were to happen from the storm. “We kept an eye on the weather and if we needed resources, we were ready to go,� he said. Mincke said there’s not much police could do, even with the forecast calling for the storm ahead of time. “It’s an act of God,� he said. “We can batten down the hatches a bit more, but it mostly just heightens our alert.� Around the country, high winds from the storm were reported as far west as Montana, as far south as Oklahoma, and as far east as Ohio, the NWS said.

Tree branches snapped, a semi-truck was overturned, and a Lakeville police car damaged in a hurricane-like, high-wind storm that battered the area on Tuesday, Oct. 26, and Wednesday, Oct. 27. Damage was minor around Lakeville, according to Police Chief Thomas Vonhof, but he said the city was fortunate the storm hit without leaves on many of the trees. “It’s a very unusual event,� Vonhof said. “Had the trees had leaves, we might be talking about downed trees, structural damage or power lines down.� Farmington Police Sgt. Kevin Mincke said there was a report of a tree down and a brief power outage near downtown Farmington. “But it wasn’t much more than that,� he said. According to the National Weather Service, the storm wasn’t just any storm.
The huge low-pressure area that covered more than half the country set a new record for the lowest barometric pressure in a non-tropical storm ever recorded in the mainland United States. The NWS said the minimum central pressure of 28.24 inches for the storm was equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. This storm was stronger in terms of pressure readings than the “Witch of November� storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior in 1975, which had a pressure of 28.95 inches. The NWS said that generally, the lower the pressure, the higher the winds for a storm. And in addition to rain and snow, the storm produced high winds that gusted to 60 mph at Lakeville’s Airlake Airport. Around the area, Vonhof said a Lakeville police squad car was damaged by a cooler that became airborne and hit it.

typically experienced growth beyond projections, to fall below can instigate some soul-searching. School Board chairperson Veronica Walter was curious about the quality of transient data available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of follow-up are we doing?â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are the students moving
out or opting out?â&#x20AC;? Meeks said the district can make records requests to track if families are moving out of the district or are open-enrolling their children in other school districts. District administration does not have the data on hand yet, though. Meeks did caution the board not to infer patterns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to say
whether it is a blip or a trend,â&#x20AC;? he said. The district has about $18.5 million left from the capital levy referendum that led to the construction of the new high school, among other things. The money was intended to be spent on a sixth elementary school, but the new enrollment situation seems to suggest a new school is not necessary.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine in our buildings for a period of time,â&#x20AC;? Meeks said. The district is working with The Cunningham Group, a consultant, to develop a facilities plan that would use the remaining money to update and maintain existing facilities.

A Farmington school board meeting on Oct. 11 played out like an intervention. Board member Tim Burke drew the ire of his fellow board members after he sent some pointed e-mails to staff. Board Chair Veronica Walter added the public admonishment to the agenda just before the meeting started. She kicked it off with an emotional but diplomatic redress supported by the rest of the board. The alleged offenses: Burke had barbed words with staff that culminated in a heated e-mail exchange he had with Finance Director Jeff Priess about a facilities study; and Burke burdens district staff with extensive information requests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern was that financial information was deleted,â&#x20AC;? Burke said in an interview. The report indicated there would be financial estimates, he said, but when he looked through the document there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any. In his e-mail to Priess, Burke said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the secrecy with which the administration tries to conduct itself is bewildering.â&#x20AC;? The e-mail induced anger and dismay in Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board colleagues and district administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am incredibly confused,â&#x20AC;? Walter said at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just disheartened by that comment.â&#x20AC;? Board member John Kampf told Burke at the meeting that Burke was subjecting staff to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostile work environment.â&#x20AC;? Kampf said that employers can be subjected to lawsuits for this, so Burke was â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting this district in great jeopardy.â&#x20AC;? Burke also called the consulting firm that authored the report and asked about the information. His colleagues did not like this, either. Craig Davis, recently appointed to serve out the term of Bob Heman, who resigned, called the situation a â&#x20AC;&#x153;teaching moment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no power,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are one of six. The board as a whole has the power. You need to respect and understand that.â&#x20AC;? At the meeting, Burke

said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy you brought it up. I understand I have no power.â&#x20AC;? B u r k e said his Tim Burke copy of the facilities report not only was missing financial information, but missing entire pages. This led him to suspect something was awry. Priess took issue with this and posed Burke a question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why did you not call me and ask me about it before you made that accusation?â&#x20AC;? Burke answered that he made his requests through Superintendent Brad Meeks, but did not receive e-mail replies. Meeks told the board that he is not comfortable sending e-mails relating to personnel issues. On top of that were discussions of how Burke uses e-mails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your e-mail etiquette falls below what I would expect,â&#x20AC;? Meeks said, adding that if Burke disagrees with e-mails he will carbon-copy or blind carboncopy messages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite honestly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going,â&#x20AC;? Meeks said. To address the charge of excessive information requests, Burke said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was asking for volumes recently. I ask for things that are topical and timely; in many cases I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get them.â&#x20AC;? Walter concluded the discussion by telling Burke that she wanted the board to discuss the matter in public as a nod to transparency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to make us more productive so we can help students and families,â&#x20AC;? Walter said. Excessive information requests from board members can delay information going out to the public, she added.
Historical tension The dynamic of Burke versus the rest of the board is not absolute. There are times when the rest of the board agrees with Burke and instances in which he casts dissenting votes. This is not the first time Burke has addressed transparency, however. Voters elected the first-term board member, a public relations staff member at Allina Hospitals and Clinics, in 2008. Part of his election platform involved the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration and public relations. He asserted at the time that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the current board and district administration have systematically sought to make it harder and harder for the people to see how their district is run.â&#x20AC;? When Burke referred to a precedent of secrecy in his e-mail to staff, he was speaking from a well-documented policy position of his. Once the board members aired their grievances, the situation cooled down.

Incumbents face one challenger in Lakeville School Board race Three board members will face outside candidate who ran two years ago by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Three incumbents looking for re-election to their seats on the Lakeville School Board will face just one outside challenger on the Nov. 2 ballot. Incumbents Jim Skelly, Roz Peterson, and vicechair Michelle Volk are running for re-election, with Lakeville resident Randy Pronschinske, who also ran two years ago, trying to unseat one of them. And while the four candidates differ on many issues, when it comes to the biggest issue of the election, all four support the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three levy questions on the ballot seeking additional property tax dollars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next round of cuts are so large, I think the public should have their say one more time,â&#x20AC;? said Volk, 49, who has generally been one of the most conservative voices on the board. Without the three questions, the Lakeville Area Public School District faces a massive $21.6 million deficit over the next biennium. Even if the ballot measures are approved, the district will still face a $3 million hole over the next two years. Each of the four candidates say he or she is the best person for the job to guide the district through those cuts, no matter how severe they may wind up being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be part of that. I want to keep moving forward,â&#x20AC;? Skelly, 47, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My feeling is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting results on the School Board.â&#x20AC;? Pronschinske said that while all four candidates are supportive of the levy questions, there are other issues he says the board isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t addressing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The district doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a long-term plan,â&#x20AC;? Pronschinske, 50, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can plan better. We need sustainability so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not cutting or asking for money every year.â&#x20AC;? Every candidate agrees the next School Board will have to address a number of other issues, beyond levies and budgets. Peterson said cutting red tape and bureaucracy is high on her to-do list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous to fill out five forms to five different agencies when trying to do something,â&#x20AC;? Peterson, 45, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to streamline the process.â&#x20AC;? Skelly said technology was a key for the district moving forward, and that finding a solution to solve the technology funding issue once and for all is a priority. Volk said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the district have more local control over the classroom, and focus less on state and federal guidelines. She pointed to implementing Professional Learning Communities at the schools where, she said, teachers can better understand how students are learning. Despite those issues, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear the major issue facing the candidates is the looming budget situation. In the run-up to the election, both Skelly and Volk said they considered not running for another term. But both said the financial situation the district is in led them to give it one more go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to help the district through the next four years,â&#x20AC;? Volk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be part of the creative solutions as we move forward.â&#x20AC;? Pronschinske said part of those solutions needs to be new ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard and
watched this board do the same thing over and over again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need new ideas.â&#x20AC;? Peterson, who helped form the Finance Advisory Council when she was first elected to the board four years ago, believes whatever the solutions to the budget discussion are, they need to be transparent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also need to speak to the community and allow residents to understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening,â&#x20AC;?
Peterson said. Skelly said no matter what, there are going to be a lot of decisions to be made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seldom can residents have this kind of control over the services provided by the district,â&#x20AC;? Skelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People get to have the schools they want, from funding them to their leadership.â&#x20AC;? Photo by Derrick Williams

Opinion Guest Columnists Two views of Lakeville school’s levy questions Chamber shares its analysis of levy Community will determine course by Todd Bornhauser SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
On Nov. 2, Lakeville area residents and businesses will have some difficult and extremely important decisions to make that will have an impact on this community for many years to come. Specifically, voters in Independent School District 194 (Lakeville) will be asked to vote on three levy (revenue) questions. Results of that vote will have a large impact on school district revenues, and a large impact on the property taxes paid by a business and resident in the Lakeville district. As a result, chamber members requested the chamber board to review the available information from the school district, to help understand how these ballot questions will affect the school system. Utilizing the chamber’s Government Affairs Committee, the board was able to develop a list of key points, information that businesses and voters can utilize to help make wise decisions for the longterm good of education in Lakeville. These key points include the following: Employee costs are approximately 80 percent of the overall expenditures. Revenues from sources
other than local levies are not expected to increase in the near future. To address the operational deficit of approximately $3.8 million for the 2010-11 school year, the School Board used a combination of one-time federal stimulus money and part of the unrestricted fund balance. Salary and benefits are projected to increase 3 percent each year for the next two years. This results in an increased cost to maintain staffing “as is” of approximately $5.2 million over that period. Much of this is already part of the labor contracts that have been agreed to. Although there have been cuts in the budget over the past few years, the actual spending by the district has increased at about a 5 percent rate. It appears that half of the money raised in ballot question No. 2 (which increases revenue by an additional $524 per pupil – approximately $5.8 million per year) would be used to cover the operational deficit from 2010-11 (because most of that shortage was covered with onetime money rather than mak-
ing expense reductions). In addition, most of the remaining money raised in ballot question No. 2 will be needed to cover the annual salary and benefit increase (estimated 3 percent per year, approximately $2.6 million per year) over the next two years. The per-student levy amount will be inflationadjusted each year for both questions 1 and 2. Because of increasing costs (approximately 80 percent attributable to labor) it appears that even if both questions 1 and 2 are approved (for the next 10 years), unless the state aid is increased, there will need to be an additional levy increase requested for 2013 and succeeding years to maintain things “as is.” Even if both levy questions are approved the School Board will still be challenged with the probability of program changes or other expense reductions. The Lakeville Area Chamber has not and will not be taking an official position of support or non-support on the levy questions.

by Dr. Gary Amoroso LAKEVILLE AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Lakeville Area Public School District is facing a $21.2 million deficit for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, despite the fact that the Board of Education has adjusted expenditures by approximately $17.7 million over the last four years. To address this challenging financial situation, the Board of Education unanimously voted to place three levy questions on the Nov. 2 ballot to allow the community to direct the district’s future. If the levy questions are not approved, the board will adjust the budget for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years in the amount of $21.2 million. This would likely be accomplished through a combination of program and service reductions and fee increases. For example, approximately 150-175 full-time positions could be eliminated, with the result being significant increases in class sizes and the reduction or elimination of academic programs. Early bird classes at the high schools and the middle level team structure could be eliminated. It may also be necessary to close an elementary building and adjust school
attendance boundaries for elementary students. Similarly, transportation services could also be directly affected, with the busing fee potentially increasing to $300 per student. In addition, co-curricular programs could become fully self-supporting, with no district financial support. The result would be significant increases for student fees (as high as $700 for some activities) or potential elimination of these programs. Question 1 is the renewal of an existing levy for $236 per pupil to replace the expiring levy of $250 per pupil to achieve an additional property tax impact of $0. This funding would be in place for 10 years and would increase based on the rate of inflation determined by the Minnesota Department of Education. If approved, the budget deficit will be reduced to approximately $15.4 million. This would require the board to make significant budget adjustments to programs and services. Question 2 requests approval of an additional $524 per pupil. This funding would be in place for 10
years and would increase based on the rate of inflation determined by the Minnesota Department of Education. If passed, the annual property tax impact on a $250,000 home will be an additional $299 per year or approximately $5.75 per week. If questions one and two are approved, the Board of Education will still have a $3 million budget deficit to resolve for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years. The Board of Education views this financial solution as a “shared sacrifice.” Question 3 is a capital project levy for technology. This includes installation, maintenance and software to replace 875 computers that are seven or more years old. If approved, there will be a $38 one-time impact for taxes payable in 2011 on a $250,000 home or approximately 73 cents per week. This tax will be in effect for one year only. The bottom line is that our community will determine the future direction of our district. Dr. Gary Amoroso is superintendent of Lakeville Area Public Schools. He can be reached at (952) 232-2000.

Letters Madore responds to endorsement of Kline To the editor: After visiting with the ECM editorial board for more than two hours, discussing a broad range of issues, I was quite surprised to read that you had endorsed my opponent, incumbent Rep. John Kline, with absolutely no mention of our contrasting positions on important issues. (“John Kline has the Second District’s proven support, and ours,” Oct. 22.) There was no mention of his
vote for the bank bailout and against the Yellow Ribbon program for veterans. No mention of his vote against the stimulus program before deciding to write letters requesting stimulus money. Kline claims to be against earmarks and won’t request them for our own district but votes for plenty that benefit other districts and states. Thank you, ECM, for acknowledging that I have a point regarding my opponent’s refusal to request our federal tax dollars for roads, bridges and other important projects here in our dis-
trict. As a result, for every tax dollar we send to Washington, our district gets only 35 cents back. Other Minnesota districts get an average of 77 cents and our neighboring states get even more: Wisconsin 86 cents, Iowa $1.10, South Dakota $1.53 and North Dakota $1.68. If Kline believes the earmark system is a less than ideal way to return tax dollars to the community, perhaps he should author and pass a bill that changes the system. Merely refusing to work within the existing process is not
saving taxpayers in our district a single dollar. Instead, the dollars they pay are spent for projects in other states, putting our district at a serious disadvantage for attracting new businesses and jobs. As you pointed out, Kline’s voting record is far more conservative than previous representatives who have served our district. In fact, Kline’s votes are almost identical to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s. Conversely, our district’s election results have been less conservative over time. In 2002, only four of the district’s state legislators were Democrats.
Today, our district includes 12 Democratic legislators. As you also mentioned, John Kline’s refusal to publicly debate me is poor constituent service. Not only does he refuse to discuss his voting record in public debates, he also often refuses to meet with constituents whose position he disagrees with. That is no way to run a Congressional Office.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary explains that “encourage” means “to give support, confidence or hope to (someone).” It’s no surprise that these are challenging times. So what will it take to offer more encouragement to young people? First, community organizations and businesses can encourage students. Earlier this year I wrote about the outstanding performance of the Apple Valley, Eastview, Rosemount and Eagan students in Minnesota’s Math League. Math teachers from Lakeville and many other communities have praised the league. Tracy Bibelnieks, an Augsburg math professor told me, “Without Fastenal Corporation, we would not be able to hold the state tournament.” She also explained, “ADC Foundation funds the summer coaches conference where we discuss how to improve math teaching. Their support allows math coaches to come virtually cost free.” Last week the Minnesota Business Partnership honored two outstanding Minnesota public schools: Sibley East-Gaylord Elementary School in Gaylord, and Concordia Creative Learning Academy in St. Paul. The Minnesota Business Partnership selected these schools because they are serving a high percentage of low-income and/or minority students and “they are raising overall academic performance and closing the achievement gap.” Both schools demonstrate major gains in student achievement. • Lifetouch Photography helps support creation of the Reach for the Stars catalog produced by the Center for Academic Excellence in North Mankato. This is a terrific list of artist and academic competitions and programs. It’s free and found at www.mncae.org/ reach_stars.html. Second, educators can help youngsters and families save money while challenging themselves. Recently I wrote about the efforts high schools are making to encourage high
school students to take more challenging classes. Farmington and both Lakeville high schools offer a number of these courses. North Branch estimates that if all the students taking collegelevel classes this year pass them, the students will save themselves about $225,000. I’d suggest that high schools set a goal of having every student, except the most academically disabled, take at least one college-level class before graduating. It might be in an academic area or in a more applied area. But these classes do help youngsters see they can accomplish much more. Next, school/community service programs can benefit students and the community. • Forest Lake High School FFA students have done many projects, including a city garden “gateway” project along Highway 61. • Elk River’s Spectrum High School students raised money for the Alzheimer’s Association, conducted a horse camp for younger students, and grew vegetables for senior citizens. Finally, senior citizens can come into schools to discuss their hobbies and help give more individual attention to young people – something that can have huge benefits. Some time ago I wrote about Gary Hawkins, a retired teacher in the Cambridge-Isanti School District who has helped organize grandparents to come into schools. Among other things, they showed youngsters how to fish and how to train dogs, and read with some of them. Thanks to each of these individuals and organizations that are giving support, hope and encouragement to youngsters.

Frank J. Sr. Coglitore Age 68 of Lakeville passed away October 21, 2010. Frank served his country in the US Army and was a life long Yankee fan. He was currently a professor at the University of St. Thomas were he was named the professor of the year in 2006.

Frank Coglitore Memorial Scholarship: Mail DEV 2115 Summit Avenue St. Paul, MN 55105 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lost someone who loved business education at St. Thomas as much as he loved his New York Yankees,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. William Raffield, a colleague in the Opus College of Business. Coglitore grew up in New York and enjoyed good-natured bantering with his Twins-fans students. He majored in accounting and minored in philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, went on to receive an M.B.A. at Scranton University, and continued his studies at the University of Minnesota. When he took the certified public accountant exam in Minnesota, he received the Harold C. Utley Award for having the highest test score in the state.Coglitore taught accounting and auditing at St. Thomas for 27 years and received the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest teaching honor, the Professor of the Year Award, in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly love going into the classroom and teaching,â&#x20AC;? he said at the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and plan to keep doing so as long as I enjoy working with our students and feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making a contribution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While some could consider the field of accounting to be fairly cut and dried, there are many things that are open to interpretation. Our students need to know what is the right thing to do. We instill in them a professional code of conduct.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Christopher Puto, dean of the Opus College of Business, said Coglitoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;approach to his classes and to his students embodies all of the elements we value so highly at St. Thomas.â&#x20AC;?

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
give us much of a chance. They left us for dead two, three weeks ago. It was very rewarding.” Mikayla Jacobson scored the team’s winning goals against Northfield in the 1-0 finals victory and against Owatonna in the 1-0 semifinal win. “Sometimes section games resemble a fight,” Flood said. “It comes down to who wants it more, and we did. The girls showed a lot of heart.” Flood gave credit to South’s defense, including Kelsey Thulien and Lexi Bernauer. “When you don’t give teams chances to score, you do all right,” Flood said. Freshmen defenders Emma and Rachel Michelson “really came of age,” Flood said, and South’s goalie kept the team breathing easy. “Megan Seymour always seems to make one or two big saves per game,” he said. “I can’t really remember her letting in a soft goal.” Only three other teams in Minnesota – Benilde-St. Margaret’s, La Crescent and Mounds View – can say they’ve gone to state five of the last six years. “You establish a tradition, you demand excellence of the kids and they pass it on,” Flood said. Over the summer, several former South players helped out during a summer camp. “Seven of those girls are playing college soccer, and three or four of them are playing Division I,” Flood said. “The girls growing up strive to achieve that.” Last year was the only year since the school opened South didn’t qualify for state. “The whole year we were thinking we’re not going to let that happen again,” Flood said. “They really worked their tails off. Starting this summer our goal was to get to the state tournament.” Lakeville South played top seed Eden Prairie in the state quarterfinals on Thursday.
Although Lakeville South is a newer school, the Lakeville South girls soccer team has a long history of success. The Cougars gave the school its first-ever state championship in 2007, and they’ve gone to state five times in the last six seasons. But midway through 2010, things didn’t look so rosy. “Our season was kind of crazy,” head coach Dan Flood said. “We had lots of close games and lost more than we thought we were going to.” Players were spending more time talking to the trainer than playing soccer because of torn knee ligaments, concussions and stress fractures. “A lot of just weird, nagging stuff, too,” Flood said. “We had a different lineup every game.” The Cougars started the season with a 4-1-2 record and state-tournament aspirations, but after a 4-0 loss to Eagan on Sept. 16, things were looking pretty grim. The Cougars went on to win two more regular season games. In the first half against Apple Valley on Sept. 28, it looked like they were ready to pack it in for the season. “It was like the girls were ready to give up,” Flood said. “During the second half things really swung around.

North vs. South: Winner plays in finals, loser stays home by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The average attendance at a high school football game is normally a couple thousand people. On Saturday night in Lakeville, the attendance in the playoff game between Lakeville North and South will be several thousand. Football is incredibly popular. If you want evidence try to find a place to park near Lakeville North at 6:55 p.m. on Saturday night. South will play North for the seventh time in school history at 7 p.m. on Saturday night in the Section 1-5A semifinals. Lakeville South leads the all-time series against North 4-2, but the Panthers are on a two-game winning streak. North defeated South 12-6 in the Section 1-5A semifinals in 2009. Less than a month ago North beat South again 14-3. The key match-up will be South’s offense against North’s defense. During the game earlier this season South had the ball in its hands several times, but North’s defense kept the Cougars out of the en-
dzone. South is riding a threegame winning streak, having defeated Rochester John Marshall 38-8 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Lakeville South started the season as a passing team, but in its last three games the team has run the ball much better thanks to the rushing of DJ Hiller and Casey Troup and a large offensive line. Quarterback Mitch Leidner has had moments of brilliance as well, throwing for more than 200 yards in four games this year. His favorite targets include Matt Heller, Devon Bzoskie and Adam Ruhl, so defenses have to watch everyone going out for a pass. Lakeville North’s strengths lie in the defense; the Panthers have given up about 13 points per game this season, which was second-lowest only to Rosemount in the South Suburban Conference. Safeties Alex Frost and Al Erickson along with linebacker Same Shreve and defensive end Tanner Wiseman have already made North’s season special, along with young
playmakers such as Mitch Johnson and Karl Finkel. They’ve allowed more than two touchdowns in a game just twice this season. The Panthers stuffed Farmington in the semifinals on Tuesday 39-14. The weather favored the running game and Jake Heid didn’t disappoint, running for 144 yards.

Tigers tough it out It was a difficult season for the Farmington football team: The Tigers, for the first time in nearly three decades, earned just one win. The Tigers beat Red Wing back on Sept. 10 at home, but have since lost seven in a row. An offense led by running back CJ Record and quarterback Darren Beenken had its moments to shine. Record surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season. But the defense gave up 25 points per game on average – highest in the Missota Conference. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

In many ways, Section 3 is turning into the South Suburban Championships, Part 2, and I don’t know how I feel about it. In some ways it makes sense. Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount are close. The schools are roughly the same size. Only one school goes to state and it usually does well. Yet the Section 3 participants are inconsistent from sport to sport. Sometimes Lakeville, Farmington and Prior Lake are included. Sometimes the
PRESSBOX schools compete in a completely different bracket. Eagan plays football in Section 4 and Burnsville plays girls soccer in Section 2. Dividing up the sections is a convoluted, imperfect process that changes almost every other year. The Minnesota State High School League attempts to have representation from every geographical location of
Minnesota. They want to make sure the northern, southern, metro and suburban schools have representation. That’s a worthy goal, but I don’t think that’s the only goal. They also want a competitive balance. They don’t want the same teams going to state every year. For several years all Lakeville sports competed in Section 1 against teams from southern Minnesota such as Rochester. Section 1 isn’t normally as strong as Section 3. (There are exceptions, just ask the tennis teams.) I know several coaches
from Owatonna to Rochester get pretty sick of losing to Lakeville come playoff time. To that I say, “Play better.” If you want to play in the state tournament, you should be one of the best teams in the state. From hockey to soccer, you’ll see a .500 team from Lakeville win the section. If you can’t beat a .500 team in the section finals, how do you think you’ll do at state? Would Lakeville survive in another section? Of course. But I’d rather see a state tournament where
it’s the best of the best, but there’s no way to line up the section so that happens. People complain about every playoff setup, from college football’s BCS system to the Olympics. Last year there was talk of doubling the NCAA basketball bracket. Going to state is fun, but it should be reserved for the best. I just wish there was more consistency. A South Suburban Conference title should stand on its own. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Next week, Farmington residents have an opportunity to join in celebration of America and to honor past and present Armed Forces personnel. At Farmingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patriotic Day celebration on Nov. 4 at Farmington High School, residents can enjoy a free pork dinner starting at 5 p.m., and stay to hear Iraq veteran John Kriesel and patriotic music featuring Farmington students. In 2006, Kriesel lost both his legs and two of his best friends in a bombing near Fallujah, Iraq. He survived 25 surgeries during two months and has been highly decorated, including the Combat Infantryman Badge, Purple Heart Medal, and Bronze Star Medal during his 10year career in the Army
National Guard. During the evening, the local Voice of Democracy essay winner will also read an essay on patriotism. The Voice of Democracy audio-essay program offers scholarships to high school students who write and record a three- to fiveminute essay on an announced patriotic theme. Sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does My Generation Have A Role in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future?â&#x20AC;? Farmington Mayor Todd Larson will also speak during the event. Patriotic Day used to be held on Veterans Day as part of the program held at Farmington Middle School, said Laura Abrams, student secretary at North Trail Elementary. Last year, the Patriotic Day celebration moved to
the new high school, but the program will be greatly expanded this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have really worked hard on it this year. Last year, it was more of a last-minute thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. The event is another example of Farmingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long history of recognizing military families, veterans and those currently serving in the Armed Forces. Farmington was the first city in Minnesota to be proclaimed a Yellow Ribbon Community, a designation which recognizes communities that develop support networks for those who are a part of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military. To make reservations for the meal, call (651) 460-1805. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

ic struggles of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public school districts is what compelled Iversen, of Lakeville, to run for office. The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district, where Iversen teaches, saw more than 100 staff positions cut last year and is seeking a $15.4 million operating levy referendum to reduce a $24 million deficit for the next school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some classes (in the district) have 40-45 students,â&#x20AC;? Iversen said. She decries the funding shifts used to move money from schools to pay for other budget items, a measure undertaken this past year in what amounts to the state borrowing money from school districts. This in turn leaves many districts to borrow money at higher interest rates on their own to cover the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see clearly the negative impact of balancing the budget in that way,â&#x20AC;? Iversen said. She said she recognizes the upcoming budget battle will leave education with

some gashes, but hopes there will be some balance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be some impact,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see the kind of impact so heavily slanted toward education.â&#x20AC;?
Cuts like a knife But how to achieve this balance? This is where a divergence between the candidates comes into play. Garofalo, true to the zeitgeist of his party, is opposed to raising taxes. In an effort to preserve K-12 funding, he said health and human services and local government aid will have to be cut. But he does see one possible revenue source. The state could raise hundreds of millions of dollars, he said, from a racino (i.e., allowing Canterbury Park to be a casino in addition to race track). Iversen aspires toward a middle ground to maintaining quality education. She does not want to see the Legislature try to â&#x20AC;&#x153;spend our way out of it,â&#x20AC;? but at the same time does not think a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no new taxesâ&#x20AC;? pledge is realistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is certainly a need for new revenue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to look for efficiencies and for new revenue sources.â&#x20AC;? As for Garofaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegation that the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unions stand in the way of reform, Iversen said â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether you like the union or not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to work with them.â&#x20AC;? Both candidates were poised to offer up a bit of realism, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the table,â&#x20AC;? Iversen said. Garofalo echoed this. He said that whoever gets elected will have to make major cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $6 billion deficit. No matter what we do, people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to like us. These are going to be very unpopular decisions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only sustainable path to balance the budget.â&#x20AC;?

best and the brightest by giving them additional pay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing a good job, we need to help them find a different job.â&#x20AC;? Garofalo said the current education system is â&#x20AC;&#x153;modeled after (19)50s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s concepts. The system needs to be redesigned to be student-focused, as opposed to adult-focused.â&#x20AC;? In addition to championing a focus on rewarding positive teacher resultsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a position on which he and President Barack Obama agreeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Garofalo said he also would like to see tenure tossed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a private-sector job,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single day I have to prove I deserve to keep my job.â&#x20AC;?
Teachers should do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single year teachers need to prove that they deserve the privilege of educating children,â&#x20AC;? Garofalo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our tenure laws were designed for an eight-track society and need to be upgraded for an iPod society.â&#x20AC;? It is not as if he has a vendetta against teachers in general, he said. After all, his wife is one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone recognizes there are good teachers and bad teachers, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s find the bad teachers a different career that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t damage studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achievement,â&#x20AC;? he said. Education reform, according to Garofalo, is not just a GOP realm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is large bipartisan agreement on alternative teacher licensure and tying teacher effectiveness to student achievement,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only barrier to progress is the teachers union.â&#x20AC;?

than one occasion that the city is not a business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a government, and therefore (it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) operate like one,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ratzlaff LaBeau, who is president and owner of Ratzlaff Homes Inc., said that points to a lack of understanding by the current council. The city needs to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be run like a business, or like citizens have to run their budgets,â&#x20AC;? Ratzlaff LaBeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to live within our means and spend what we have.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, both Bourdeaux and Ratzlaff LaBeau have criticized the current council for being unreceptive to the business communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feedback, and both have criticized what they call a lack of communication with the community. They both point to threeminute caps on public comment speaking time, and the lack of dialogue during work sessions as proof thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no interest in col-
Council/from 1A council is a major reason to run. Dan Athmann, Marc Bourdeaux, Joe Crawford, Karl Drotning, Jack Evans, Matt Little, and Colleen Ratzlaff LaBeau join Miller on the ballot. Lakeville may rank low in taxes compared to other metro area communities, but candidates say the city can do better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe city, state, and federal government is out of control fiscally,â&#x20AC;? Bourdeaux, 42, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not sit idly by while Lakeville taxpayers are being fleeced.â&#x20AC;? Bourdeaux, an entrepreneur and business owner, said the current City Council members arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t managers, but are acting as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rubber stampâ&#x20AC;? for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. That stance is shared by Ratzlaff LaBeau, 48, who said the city needs to be run differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(I was) told on more
laboration. But some candidates, including incumbent Miller, said the current council is doing a fair job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As candidates, we need to maintain a quality of life that our residents tell us is among the best in the state by maintaining services at effective levels,â&#x20AC;? Miller, 54, said. Miller was selected by the council in 2009 to fill the remainder of Wendy Wulffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in a great community and I want to serve to make it better,â&#x20AC;? Miller, an executive with U.S. Bank, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On many issues â&#x20AC;Ś such as the need to be fiscally responsible, all of the candidates are pretty much in agreement. However, distinctions may be drawn on a candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the programs, services and other amenities that are the bedrock for our quality of life and have made Lakeville a truly great place.â&#x20AC;? For some candidates, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as a great place to live that encouraged them to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running because I think I can do better for my hometown,â&#x20AC;? Little, 25, said.â&#x20AC;?We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut personnel from our public safety departments, we need to repair our roads, and we must limit spending in other areas to minimize the tax impact of accomplishing these priorities.â&#x20AC;? Little, an English as a Second Language tutor, said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room to cut and be more efficient in the budget. That kind of budget efficiency is what Drotning, a current Lakeville planning commissioner and owner of Crystal Lake Automotive Inc., wants to pursue if elected to the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not (have) enough revenues to continue business as usual,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must find new and effective ways to deliver more services for less cost.â&#x20AC;? Drotning pointed to ef-
ficiencies in technology and cost-sharing endeavors with other governments as ways to reduce costs. But Athmann, a Burnsville police officer, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wary of cutting too many costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not pro-tax, but I accept the fact that all Americans must pay their fair share,â&#x20AC;? Athmann, 43, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizens of Lakeville pay the third lowest city taxes in Dakota County. I am satisfied with this and accept my responsibility to pay my fair share in exchange for the services provided to all of us.â&#x20AC;? Athmann said he sees as a police officer how the services Lakeville has to offer benefit the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would overwhelmingly state that citizens and business owners alike have spoken and are satisfied with how current city leadership has conducted business,â&#x20AC;? he said. But Evans, a 39-year-old landscaper, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree,
