Throughout the debates and up to the initial vote for the new senior cent e r - Ye l l o w Ribbonhistorical society site at the former police sta- Mielke tion, what to call the project has been a practice in tongue-twisters and confusion. But no more. The city has decided on the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heritage Center.â&#x20AC;? City Administrator Steve Mielke said the name came to be as a way to reflect a commonality with the neighboring area, including the Heritage Library, Heritage Commons and the fact that the building is located See Heritage, 5A

Blame the geese, again. Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department has closed Orchard Lake beach because of an E. coli outbreak. Testing of water samples will occur daily until the levels are acceptable for public swimming. Because of the lag time in receiving lab results, the beach will be closed through the upcoming weekend. Park Maintenance and Operation Supervisor John Hennan said the cause was likely the same as what caused the closing of beaches at Valley Lake and Antlers parks last month: a dangerous combination of warm weather, too much rain accumulation and goose feces. Those beaches were each closed for about a week. The city conducts tests for E. coli every two weeks, said Parks and Recreation Director Steve Michaud last month when those other two beaches experienced outbreaks. This is the first time the city has had an E. coli problem at Orchard Lake, Hennan said. Aaron Vehling is at aaron.vehling@ecm-inc.com and www. facebook.com/thisweeklive.

The end of a long nightmare approaches for Jamie Belzer and her family. It has been a roller coaster ride that led to Dakota County Judge Richard Spicer sentencing Kaley Hennessy, 26, of Lakeville, last week to a year in jail and 40 years of probation for a series of cyber crimes and identity theft perpetrated against Belzer.

$228.9 million for Morrises of Burnsville Largest Lottery jackpot in state history makes coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement worries vanish by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

have fallen through over the years. Recently, the city has used the lot, which was owned by the Farmington Economic Development Authority, to display a public Christmas tree. Farmington Economic Development Specialist Tina Hansmeier said in an email that the construction project marks an â&#x20AC;&#x153;exciting timeâ&#x20AC;? for the city and the EDA.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge to see the McVicker lot develop and especially great to see an existing Farmington business owner invest and expand in our community,â&#x20AC;? Hansmeier wrote. Dungy closed a purchase agreement with the EDA on July 13 and plans to open the new office this year. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

An educational visit with some neighbors by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Elyas Shaik of Burnsville, like the rest of the faithful at the Burnsville Mosque last Friday evening, had not eaten a gram or drunk even a drop of water all day. The former Texan, who works in the local aerospace industry, was celebrating Ramadan. During this holiest month, Muslims fast as the sun shines. When night falls, they gather for an iftar, a breaking of the fast with prayer and a scrumptious dinner. The mosque also hosted a couple dozen non-Muslims, inviting them to ask questions about Islam and dine on a delicious array of lamb, hummus and rice dishes. Debby Reisinger of Burnsville was among the curious parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a friend whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muslim,â&#x20AC;? said Reisinger, a parishioner at Mary, Mother of the Church in Burnsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very upset by people who make assumptions about Muslims without having any experience with them.â&#x20AC;? This was her second iftar. She and her husband attended one last year in St. Paul. This year, they wanted to visit one in their own backyard. Reisinger said she respected that faith was a huge part of the lives of the people she met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practice and prayer is part of who they are and how they live,â&#x20AC;?

she said. To get an idea of the impact of Ramadan on a Muslimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, think of the holiday as a summertime Lent, but with the fasting requirement all day, everyday from Ash Wednesday to Easter (and not just refraining from red meat on Fridays). There would be no eating or drinking while the day basks in sunlight. Obviously, not everyone sticks to this (just as I would often forget to forgo burgers on Fridays during Lent), but millions of people take it seriously enough to create both a market for buffets in the evening and a profound ambiance of piety. For Shaik and his family, Ramadan is about empathy, that sacred idea of putting yourself in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fast so we can feel the thirst and the hunger of those around the world who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. He also said that fasting can be a catalyst for other forms of self-reflection. He has found that it discourages him from lying and committing other sins. To continue oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinful ways while putting on the show of Ramadan wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise,â&#x20AC;? Shaik asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;why fast?â&#x20AC;? This was the second time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended an iftar at the Burnsville Mosque for a story and the third time ever Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended the

Photo by Aaron Vehling

The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;mosqueâ&#x20AC;? sounds quite exotic, but this photo portrays the reality: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite similar to a church. These men were breaking a Ramadan fast and discussing Islam at the Burnsville Mosque on Highway 13. As you can see, the dining area looks like a church basement at which parishioners would gather for doughnuts and coffee following service. service. The first I attended was last August in Washington, D.C., at the Embassy of Bahrain (the Pentagon iftar was tossed around as a possibility, but its timing was not in tune with mine). What sticks out for me about the Burnsville Mosque is the palpable friendliness and neighborly demeanor. As the only one south of the river, the mosque serves as a window into the world of Mus-

lims for non-Muslims all over Dakota County. It is important for the members of the mosque to honor their holy month, but it is also important for them to reach out to everyone in their community. Most of what we know about Islam is through the eyes of those who hate it: whether it is people trying to stop a Muslim community center from being

built near Ground Zero in Manhattan or those who would believe that within each Muslim community lies the potential for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Dawnâ&#x20AC;?-style invasion of America, the shadow of 9/11 seems poised to indict an entire group of people. It does not have to be this way, of course. You yourself could stop by the mosque one night during Ramadan (which lasts until Aug. 29) for an iftar feast and fellowship. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find people who hate America, but instead youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find Americans (native or naturalized) who in addition to working and raising families, also happen to take their faith as seriously as those who attend local churches or synagogues. They will not try to convert you, but they could cause you to gain a few pounds. Steve Lucas of Apple Valley is another Dakota County resident who stopped by the mosque. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m open to different customs and religions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to see what was going on.â&#x20AC;? Sometimes wanting to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on can lead to a series of rewarding adventures. Aaron Vehling is the Lakeville editor for Thisweek Newspapers.

Minnesotans should take interest in redistricting to develop fair plan

BURNSVILLE OFFICE 12190 County Road 11 Burnsville, MN 55337 952-894-1111 fax: 952-846-2010 Office Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. M-Th, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Friday

Legislative gridlock is on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds, particularly after the embarrassing battle on raising the federal debt ceiling and the recent Minnesota government shutdown. Most Minnesotans are at a loss when it comes to actions to replace the cast of legislators in the Minnesota Legislature and in the Congress. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how, when or where to get involved with the process. A very important step is under way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the need to redistrict the seats in the Legislature and the Congress. The Legislature is charged with changing the boundary lines of districts that have too many people in them, according to the last population census. The problem is political, party-sensitive legislators draw the lines to assure their reelections and keeping their party in power. So far that process is moving slowly, and it looks as if those lines will be drawn by the court. The Legislature, dominated by Republicans, presented a plan to Gov. Mark Dayton who quickly vetoed it saying he wants a plan that has bipartisan support and public involvement. The Legislature has up to Feb. 21 to pass a redistricting plan and send it to the governor for his signature. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely to happen. Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea already has appointed five

members to the Judicial Commission. Average Minnesotans throw up their hands figuring theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be able to get involved with redistricting legislative and congressional districts. The League of Women Voters, along with other groups, has started a Citizens Redistricting Commission. This commission has planned eight public meetings to find out what kind of districts the public wants. The meeting for the 2nd Congressional District was Aug. 11. Then, it will assemble with a redistricting plan and take it out to the public for reaction. Members hope to present this plan to the court that will make the final decision on what congressional and legislative districts will look like. The last time a special committee appointed by the Legislature drew up a plan for the courts, experts say it affected the final decision. The work of the Citizens Redistricting Commission is to be commended, and it will only be as effective in coming up with a fairer redistricting plan as the interest taken in it by Minnesotans.

5A who managed the household finances, recalls spending their checking account down to $2.12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our parents were amazed at what we could do with such little money,â&#x20AC;? said Tom, who came to Minnesota in 1984 to work for Pillsbury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we made it work. It was fun. Sometimes it was fun just not to have money.â&#x20AC;? And sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to have it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My degreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in interior design, and I love building houses,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I imagine weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to build another one.â&#x20AC;? Ending the news conference with an applause line, Kathleen announced that the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first grandchild had been born the previous week.

THISWEEK August 19, 2011

Cedar Ave. in Lakeville Wednesday morning before driving to Indiana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always very, very nice to me,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I pulled in there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good store. I like their coffee.â&#x20AC;? He said he generally buys tickets every other week, usually in lots of three. Not this time. In a hurry and with only a $5 bill in his pocket, Tom went for broke and purchased five quick-picks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fourth ticket was the winning number,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He usually stops at three.â&#x20AC;? Who was the clerk who made the winning sale? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have yet to figure that out,â&#x20AC;? said store manager Dan Aul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They vaguely mention it was a young kid, but we have

two or three of them in the 18 to 25 range so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not 100 percent sure who it might be.â&#x20AC;? The Lottery is paying the store a $50,000 bonus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The employees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really see any of that $50,000,â&#x20AC;? Aul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes to the bottom line of the store. And at that point, it will help the store out tremendously.â&#x20AC;? Once the winners were announced, Burnsville police were prepared to beef up patrol around the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home lest a media crush ensue, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pacing, pacing, pacingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The couple were watching TV after Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return on Thursday night when the winning number was read on the 9 p.m. news. Kathleen already knew from news reports that Gloriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook profile, Hennessy would comment on the Facebook page of Belzer familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car dealership, mostly with cryptic series of punctuation marks and random letter sequences. Hennessy also signed up for new email accounts with user names similar to Belzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real email address, according to the court records. Using this, she would send emails to various companies seeking Belzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passwords. She even emailed Lakeville public schools discussing community education classes.

Stalker/from 1A

the winning ticket had been sold in Dakota County, but she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known her husband had bought some the day before. Tom called the Lotteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players hotline to make sure what was happening as the numbers were read off was real. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pacing, pacing, pacing,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I just kind of screamed.â&#x20AC;? The couple contacted their daughters, one by Skype and one by FaceTime, and showed them the winning ticket, which Kathleen later placed in a zip-lock bag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They screamed, they had fun,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to sleep at all last night. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do it again.â&#x20AC;? What will your first big purchase be? the couple were asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have many interests,â&#x20AC;?

said Kathleen, who said her employment was dabbling in a small coffee business with a friend, which she will now give up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The list is growing by the moment. Family members are helping us.â&#x20AC;? In what form will they collect the prize â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cash option of $123.6 million ($83.7 million after tax withholding) or a $228.9 million annuity? The Morrises had 60 days to decide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I notice that everybody (past Powerball winners) takes the cash, but I kind of like spreading my fun out,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The annuity kind of sounded good. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to discuss that with our financial advisor. This will be a more fun topic than talking about the stock market.â&#x20AC;? How will the couple remain grounded? a reporter asked.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do just fine,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to live the way we have, but just a little bit higher, a little different level. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do just fine.â&#x20AC;? Charities? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of issues that are close to our heart,â&#x20AC;? Kathleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to divulge them right now, maybe. But there are several issues weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about. We have a large family.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family first,â&#x20AC;? Tom added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still alive (at 86). I want to help her.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy street for Tom, of Troy, Mich., and Kathleen, of West Bloomfield. The Michigan State alumni met in college and married when Kathleen had graduated and Tom was working on a second degree. Kathleen,

dicates that she suffers from a battery of mental health issues, including bipolar disorder and some â&#x20AC;&#x153;borderline personality features.â&#x20AC;?

Thisweekend Burnsville gets all jazzed up Eighth annual Art & All That Jazz festival is Aug. 20 by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time Art & All That Jazz organizer Dan Gustafson has booked soul singer Mick Sterling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while, though. Sterling, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to headline this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival on Aug. 20 with his band the Irresistibles, was a performer at the Minneapolis night club Gustafson owned in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. Since those gigs at Gustafsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club 20-some years ago Sterling has built a solid following by relentlessly playing around the Twin Cities, and he and the R&B-oriented Irresistibles are known for their high-energy, dance-inciting shows.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to turn it into quite a party,â&#x20AC;? Gustafson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For two hours theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to own that park.â&#x20AC;? Scaled back this year to a one-day, 10-hour event, the eighth annual Art & All That Jazz in Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicollet Commons Park features an all-local roster of musicians, food booths and a juried art fair, along with beer and liquor concessions at the adjoining Burnsville Performing Arts Center. The Dakota Combo, consisting of Twin Cities high school jazz standouts, opens the festival at noon, followed by the New Orleans-style jazz of the Jack Brass Band at 2 p.m. The Super Pilots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four

Berklee College of Music students, including Lakeville South alumnus JP Bouvet on drums and Apple Valley High School graduate Mike Linden on guitar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; take the stage at 4 p.m., followed by the Latin-influenced jazz of Salsa del Soul at 6 p.m. and Mick Sterling and the Irresistibles at 8 p.m. For the kids, there will be an instrument petting zoo offering a hands-on experience with a variety of musical instruments from noon to 5 p.m. New to the festival this year is dance; Lakevillebased Twin Cities Ballet will present two free, 20-minute performances of traditional, contemporary and Broadway-style jazz

Sports Panther tennis aiming for four-peat Singles lineup loaded with experience at Lakeville North by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lakeville North girls tennis team has been perhaps the best south metro team in the past three years after winning three straight conference titles. The Panthers won two Lake Conference and one South Suburban Conference titles in the past three years. After losing just two seniors to graduation, the girls hope to keep up the pace. The singles lineup is stacked once again with Lisa Hall at No. 1, Maddie Lindstrom at No. 2 and Sarah Lindstrand at No. 3. Sydney Parkinson, Tatum Holland and Gretchen Hoffman, who were all part of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success last season, are back as well. All the girls returned from the junior varsity team, and they are vying for the two remaining spots on varsity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have a lot of depth once again,â&#x20AC;? head coach Trish Staehling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of improved

players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ju- refining their skills, building nior varsity team.â&#x20AC;? team unity and camaraderie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than I think I have seen, Farmington and our previous captains The Tigers are hungry have been terrific.â&#x20AC;? At singles, Maggie Ruas any team for a win. After going 0-13 in dual meets dorfer returns at No. 1 and and 0-7 in the Missota in Meghan Lindstrom to No. 2010, a mark in the win col- 2. For now, Melanie Kappas is at No. 3, and Megan umn would be welcome. Coach Jack Olwell said Stivers comes back at No. he felt the team continued 4. Doubles will feature less to improve last season and if it carries over in practice, varsity match experience. their streak could be over Katie Burgess is back at No. 1 doubles and Rachel Molisoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The keys to a success- tor and Jessica Autey who ful season will be judged played No. 3 return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want this to be a in large part by what takes place in practice,â&#x20AC;? Olwell great experience for our said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, I fully ex- players,â&#x20AC;? Olwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pect to improve our victory want to see them grow in total and our attitude and character, skill, and confiwork ethic have been our dence among other things. We also want them to win strong points.â&#x20AC;? One thing working in the and compete to the best of Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favor is experience. their ability. We intend to The entire singles lineup is improve greatly on last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record.â&#x20AC;? back swinging away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our senior girls are outstanding leaders,â&#x20AC;? Lakeville South The Cougars lost four Olwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have done more this summer to quality seniors to graduaget the program moving in tion last spring, but the cupthe right direction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; work- board is far from bare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost a lot of talented ing with younger players,

seniors last year but we still have our dynamic duo at the singles spots,â&#x20AC;? coach John Pieri said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will be a nice combination to keep in our back pocket. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to find a way to compete at the doubles spots also.â&#x20AC;? With top singles players Shelby Henderson and Erika Williams back along with doubles leaders Madison Roles and Morgan Pieri lacing up the tennis shoes, Pieri feels strong about the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities. Lindsay Uphoff and Shaina Burns have also returned to the court after playing varsity last season. Filling in the gaps will be a group of seniors hoping for varsity status along with a few younger players who spent the past offseason doing tennis drills. If everyone improves like Pieri believes they can, his goal is to compete for a South Suburban Conference title with the likes of Lakeville North, Eagan, Prior Lake and Eastview.

South girls are off and running Team reunites after a third-place finish at state last season by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lakeville South girls cross country team had a thrilling 2010 as one of the top teams in the state and the excitement has carried over to this fall. Last year, the girls were South Suburban champions and won the Section 1AA title. They went on to finish third at the Class AA state cross country meet in Northfield last November. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time was about 23 seconds behind winner Eden Prairie. While several other teams saw a healthy slice of their team graduate, four of Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top five runners at state were underclassmen. The Cougars will have an army of conditioned, experience runners this season. Senior Megan Kilbride will lead a group of sophomores Megan Lubow and Erin Kilbride and freshmen Annie Brekken and Kaytlyn Larson, who all played significant roles in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run to the top. Also vying for varsity spots will be Jenny Machaj, Mariah Gallagher, Caraline Slattery and Erin Meyers. The key to a successful season is to remain healthy. Coach Jessica Just hopes the girls pace themselves well enough to be one of the contenders by the time they see the finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put themselves in a position to be successful at the end of the year by working hard and competing throughout the season (is

the goal),â&#x20AC;? Just said. The Lakeville South boys cross country team finished in the middle of the pack last season. They return senior runners Jake Schneeman and Mark Honetschlager along with junior Cash Rodamaker. All three were named all conference honorable mention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys look to develop young runners to add to their top-five and run hard and go out there and surprise some people,â&#x20AC;? Just said.

Farmington

Conference and Section 1AA meets. The boys team has a new head coach this season, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not new to running or coaching. Lisa Lippold graduated from Farmington in 1999 where she ran both cross country and track. She continued to run at Lindenwood College in Missouri and Doane College in Nebraska. The past three years sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked as a chemical health counselor at Farmington and assistant track coach. She has an experienced group of endurance athletes to lead this year, including Adam Wellenta, Ben Olson, Chad Retterath, Caleb Eiffert and Andy Morris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be right up there in the top group,â&#x20AC;? Lippold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to place in the top five in sections and conference and be one of the frontrunners.â&#x20AC;? Her goal is for the boys to keep lowering their times and gap time between the one through seven runners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of those boys have put on some big miles already,â&#x20AC;? Lippold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to just give them the confidence they need to be right up there. I know our boys really want to be right up there with the top three, top five places.â&#x20AC;?

our top runner again this year,â&#x20AC;? coach Ryan Rapacz said. Saxton was a big reason why Lakeville North qualified for state last season, but it could prove difficult to repeat as several runners have since graduated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost some significant talent and leaders last year,â&#x20AC;? Rapacz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joey Brenner, Sam Bach, and Kyle Froeber all graduated and will be running in college this fall. This presents some challenges for this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, we have a very cohesive, young team. Our lineup is relatively untested at the varsity level, but definitely capable of stepping up and filling the big guns we lost.â&#x20AC;? Corey Peterson and Spencer Castillo will be called upon to fill the No. 2 and 3 spots. Both were on the state roster in 2010. The girls team also qualified for state in 2010, and its top two runners have returned for 2011. Taylor Perkins and Emma Johnson are in the running for two of the top spots in the South Suburban Conference again this season. They will have Haley Eskierka, Amy Ferguson and Elle Severson, who were all part of the state meet roster last season, back with them on the course.

Sports Briefs Goehner verbally commits to Marquette Lakeville North class of 2014â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alyssa Goehner has verbally committed to play volleyball at Marquette University. A varsity starter since eighth grade, she was named all state in 2010 and is a fivetime All American.

Moudry to lead South wresting Nathan Moudry has been named Lakeville South High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second head coach for the wrestling program. Mike English has resigned from the position, citing a desire to spend more time with family. Moudry has been on the wrestling staff at Lakeville South High School and Lakeville High School since 2000. Before coming to Lakeville, Moudry

was an assistant coach at Augustana College and Watertown-Mayer High School. Moudry was a threetime state qualifier from Wilmar High School and continued his wrestling career at Augustana College as a two-time national qualifier, capping it off with a fourth-place finish in the nation as a senior. Moudry has served District 194 as a teacher at JFK Elementary since 2000.

Lakeville South kickoff event set The annual Lakeville South fall football kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 24 at Lakeville South High School. The event features scrimmages along with food vendors and other football-related activities to celebrate the opening of the fall football season.

Dorothy was born March 2, 1925, on a farm between Hoffman and Herman, Minnesota, to James Henry and Ruth (Getz) Norman. As the eldest of 8 children, her life was shaped to be selfless, frugal, caring, and show love to all. She found the best in every person and of every situation. She graduated from Hoffman High School and following vocational school at the University of Minnesota, Morris, she moved to the big city, Minneapolis. It was there she met the love of her life, Clarence Engel, while on a blind date. They were married October 21, 1950. The first home they owned was in Argonne Farms in Lakeville. Their first child, Gloria, was born while they lived in Lakeville. Shortly before the birth of their second child, Alan, Dorothy and Clarence moved to Hoffman where they farmed the Norman family farm. They continued farming until the mid 1960's during which time son, Mark, and daughter, Jill, were born. Dorothy and Clarence returned to Lakeville where Clarence began long distance trucking and Dorothy began a long career as a cook with the Lakeville School System. Following the sudden death of her husband, Dorothy filled her life with spending time with her children and grandchildren and playing cards with family and friends. A better Grandmother could not be found. Dorothy had a deep faith which carried her through all of life's trials. After a courageous battle with cancer, Dorothy passed away peacefully on August 9, 2011. She was preceded in death by husband, Clarence, and siblings William and Ruth.

Mel started working as a sales representative the day after he graduated from high school. In 1961, a little over a year after graduating from high school he married Shirley Schneider. During his years working in sales they lived in various cities including Aberdeen, SD, Coon Rapids, MN and Wadena, MN. In 1969, after Mel’s dad passed away, the family moved back to the farm he grew up on outside of Sebeka. During his years farming he raised hogs then later switched to dairy cattle. In 1976, he started driving truck over the road. He worked in various aspects of the trucking industry including dispatch and logistics from that point until he retired in 2010 for eight months and then retired again in 2011. When he wasn’t working he was watching his grandchildren participating in their activities or looking for something new to add to his collection of duck paraphernalia. Mel also enjoyed fairs including various county fairs and, particularly, the Minnesota State Fair. He rarely missed the State Fair since he was a teenager. He was also very supportive of his children’s involvement in 4-H including helping raise various animals to show at the local county fair with the ultimate goal of winning trips to the State Fair. Mel generally didn’t have a lot to say but led by example. He would take charge and quietly lead when a situation called for it. Everything he did was for the benefit of his family and even though he didn’t express himself with words, his family knew he cared deeply for them.

As a child, Dottie was active in church, gymnastics, and school activities. She graduated from Faribault High School, class of 1939, and attended three and a half years at Winona State Teachers College. Dottie married Frederick I. Grothe, Faribault High School class of 1938, during World War II, when he was home on leave from the U.S. Air Force. Throughout their sixty-six year marriage, Fred often referred to Dottie as "the sweetest woman in the world." Together, they lived on a number of military bases. As a military wife, Dottie was supportive of Fred when he was called up again in 1951, during the Korean War. She acted as the bookkeeper for the family finances and for a startup business, Frederick-Willys Company, which became successful and was sold to Stanley Home Products in 1967.

In school and throughout her life, Dottie had a gift for friendship, and stayed in touch with high school friends, neighbors, and business associates. She liked to travel to a second home in Florida and a cabin near Nisswa, Minnesota. Dottie laughed easily and had a warm, delightful personality. She was a devout Christian and member of the St. Luke's Church, where she gave her testimony this past June. She stayed in touch with her extended family including in recent times through her computer. After her husband died in 2009, she lived independently, but struggled with health issues and after a series of strokes, died peacefully, with excellent care, at the St. Lucas Care Center in Faribault. She was unafraid of death and looked forward to being reunited with her beloved Savior and her beloved husband.

Farmington Farmington will reapply to state for license center THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington will reapply to the state to open a license center at City Hall. The application will be changed to name incoming City Administrator David McKnight as deputy registrar and Farmington Parks Director Randy Distad as the license center manager. Those updates, city officials hope, will resolve the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March 8 denial of the center to issue motor vehicle licenses and services. One of the reasons cited by the state in its denial was that state rules prohibit outside management of deputy Photo submitted Pearl Shirley, an active volunteer with Dakota City Heri- registrar offices. Farmington still intends tage Village, is Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 Outstanding Senior to have Quick-Serve, a comCitizen of the Year. pany operating a license center in St. Paul, staff its center, but its management would be the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility.

Hendricks said. Shirley said her mother, Lila Schmidtke, who was also a lifelong Farmington resident, also received the award years ago for her volunteer work with senior citizens and the church. She intends to continue the family tradition of award-winning community involvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful project that we have here, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preserving the agricultural heritage here for our children and grandchildren. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my motivation to come here every day,â&#x20AC;? she said.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A lifelong Farmington resident has been named Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outstanding Senior Citizen of the Year. Pearl Shirley, 76, was presented with the surprise award during Senior Day, Aug. 11, at the Dakota County Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very surprised,â&#x20AC;? Shirley said, calling the honor â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesome.â&#x20AC;? Shirley has been an active volunteer at Dakota City Heritage Village, a collection of historic buildings located at the county fairgrounds, since 1985. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a real passion for the place. She wants to see it succeed, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do everything in her power to make it succeed,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Hendricks, another Laura Adelmann is at dcedivolunteer for the organiza- tor@frontiernet.net.

Council approved the reapplication changes by a 3-2 vote, with Council Members Julie May and Terry Donnelly casting the dissenting votes. May questioned whether allowing a business to operate at City Hall is a good expenditure of taxes and questioned when the city would see a return on its investment. Under the original contract, the city would not charge Quick-Serv rent for the City Hall space in 2011. Beginning in 2012, the company wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay Farmington anything until it collected $100,000 in fees. Then, the city would earn 25 percent of filing fees collected, and then the same agreement would start over the next year. City Attorney Joel Jamnik said if the state approves the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application, the contract with Quick-Serv will be

renegotiated. In a later interview, May questioned the philosophy of whether the city should be so closely involved with a business. Mayor Todd Larson said during the meeting that opening a license center would increase downtown traffic, bring in businesses and stimulate economic development. He said his downtown insurance agent had 16 new cli-
