CDA townhomes in Lakeville hit opposition Landowner calls proposed development ‘junk housing’ in lawsuit by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Are county-subsidized townhomes an opportunity to provide affordable roofs over moderate-income-earners’ heads? Or are they “instant slums� as a landowner has described them? A parcel of land behind Lakeville 21 Theatre – on 205th Street and Keokuk Avenue – has become a landscape for this philosophical battle. The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) seeks to develop a 35-unit family townhome development on that property, which is owned by Morgan Square LLC. The county’s CDA developments are private/

public partnerships. To date, the agency has 19 townhome developments all over the south metro, including four in Lakeville. The property near the theater is subject to a covenant created in 1997 by its original owner, Lakeville Land, which sold Morgan Square the parcels more than a decade ago so Morgan Square could build and sell owner-occupied townhomes. The covenant did not initially allow for the construction of townhomes (with wood frames and the like). Lakeville Land had aspirations for the property to become a vital commercial center, according to court records relating to a lawsuit between Lakeville Land of Wayzata and Morgan Square. But Lakeville Land allowed construction of townhomes in 2002, up to

Farmington club will remain open throughout reorganization process

City will pay Linda Walter $1,225 for legal fees she incurred

by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Farmington American Legion Clifford Larson Post 189 has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and is attempting to sell its building. According to bankruptcy filings, the American Legion estimated its total assets at $50,000 or less and liabilities of between $500,000 and $1 million. American Legion house committee secretary John Blowers said Highland Bank loaned the organization about $800,000 for repairs not covered by insurance after a 2008 fire. Although the club has paid off about $50,000 of the loan and is current on its payments, it was late filing financial documents, and so the bank has called the loan due. The bank notified the organization in June that it would take possession of the American Legion building and close it if the organization didn’t repay the loan in full by Oct. 17. In an emergency meeting Oct. 12, American Legion leaders agreed to seek protection under Chapter 11 bankruptcy; seven of the members paid the $10,000 legal fees to do so. Blowers said Chapter 11 allows the club time for financial reorganization while keeping the club open and operational. He said employees will continue to be paid and the club will do business as usual. “This stops all proceedings against us. It gives us time to reorganize and get our finances in order,� Blowers said, adding the process can take six months to one year to complete, depending on what the court rules. The case began in federal court on Oct. 19. Blowers said that the members are what make up the American Legion organization, and it will continue to operate its community outreach programs and support no matter what happens to the building. “It’s like a church. The building is not the church. It’s the members who make the church,� he said. Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

William Cooley, managing member of H&W Family LLLP, a Florida-based firm that owns Lakeville Land, wrote that Lakeville Land did not approve of the plans. “I cannot see how the City of Lakeville would allow these ‘instant slums’ to be constructed anywhere in their city,� Cooley wrote to Lori Zierden of the CDA. Cooley said in the letter that his firm had a substantial investment in the adjoining property and the covenant protects the land’s value from “the type of ‘junk’ housing, that you are proposing, to be constructed next to our property.� In court documents imploring the court to act in its favor, Lakeville Land asserts that Morgan Square’s and CDA’s plans for affordable housing will “lower the value of LakeSee CDA, 15A

School Board changes the way it responds by email Board members to include superintendent and/or board chair on replies to constituent messages by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington School Board members are changing the way they respond electronically to constituents to avoid potentially violating open meeting laws. Concerns were raised during a rare Saturday workshop, Oct. 15, that email conversations with constituents, also sent by “reply all� to other board members, could put them in a position of violating the law. The board resolved that its members should only copy the board chairperson and/or the superintendent when responding to constituent emails. “I’m fine with that,� said

Board Member Tim Burke. “I would not stop communicating with constituents no matter what the board decides.� The open meeting law is intended to allow the public to become fully informed of public bodies’ actions and detect improper influences regarding decision-making. Although email isn’t specifically addressed in the law, board members are allowed to all receive mail, but issues occur regarding proper responses. All agreed they want to improve communication with the public, but board members questioned whether opinions have been injected when responding to

constituent emails about issues that will be voted on at the board table. “So, it looks like you’re trying to sway the other board members with your thoughts,â€? Superintendent Jay Haugen said. “It’s clear the way you’re going to vote on an issue ahead of time before you get to the board table ‌ is when you get in trouble.â€? School Board Chair Tera Lee said emails could be misinterpreted by other board members as an attempt to sway a vote even if that’s not the way it was intended by the writer. “That’s the problem with email too, is that it’s such a grey area,â€? she said.

Haugen cited the district’s commitment to having discussions in the open, and urged them to wait to discuss issues raised in emails so the conversation takes place “in the sunshine with everyone watching.� Lee said if a constituent sends an email the whole board wants to respond to, they should thank the citizen for the email and inform them they would like to

make it an agenda item to be discussed during an open board meeting. Burke said elected officials should not be restricted in communicating with constituents. “The idea that a constituent can bring an issue to me by email and I couldn’t respond to them because someone else also responded is as foreign to me as speaking Chinese,� Burke said.

When Board Member Julie Singewald said the board should only respond to constituents via the board’s official email, Burke said he responds using whichever email address the constituent has used to contact him. His response caused visibly frustrated Singewald to request a 10-minute break. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

High School illnesses linked to virus State concludes investigation after about 60 students are sick by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

About 60 Farmington High School students who became ill with vomiting and diarrhea during homecoming week had contracted the norovirus, the Minnesota Health Department has concluded. When about 60 high school students were kept home from school with mysterious flu-like symptoms, the district’s food service company, Chartwells Dining Services, contacted the state to investigate the

cause. After an investigation that included interviewing students who were ill, it was determined the virus was spread person-to-person, not through food preparation activities. According to the Health Department, noroviruses are extremely contagious and found in the feces or vomit of infected people. From there, noroviruses are transferred to food, water or surfaces by people who have not washed adequately after using the bath-

room. According to the district, symptoms had been reported as early as Oct. 2, prior to homecoming events. Officials stated the outbreak may have spread quickly because of the number of social events associated with homecoming week. According to the Health Department, norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in the state.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist A stadium plan Dave Thompson can support Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A few months ago in this space, I confessed to being concerned that I found myself agreeing with state Sen. Dave Thompson on a few issues. While Thompson, the Republican senator from Lakeville, has been a friend for years, we tend to come at most issues from different points on the political spectrum. He usually agrees with those who say government is society’s biggest problem, and I still see government as a necessary partner in addressing many problems that face our society. However, over my buffalo chicken salad at Mainstreet Cafe in downtown Lakeville, we agreed that public money shouldn’t be spent on a Viking football stadium. We also agreed that we are hooked on spending Sunday afternoons watching football, even in years like this one, when our purple heroes couldn’t block Barney, the purple dinosaur my granddaughter asks for when Grandpa is watching football. But as our public officials wrestle with the deadline for coming up with a stadium plan so the

Vikings don’t move from the tundra to La La Land, I’m offering the WernerThompson Stadium Plan. Of course, I haven’t been able to get a hold of my favorite conservative state legislator to endorse the idea. But it meets his criterion for a Viking stadium that doesn’t require public financing. It’s a simple idea: Add 15,000 seats to TCF Bank Stadium and we can enjoy watching both of our losing football teams in the same venue. That seems a lot wiser than spending more than a billion dollars in state, Ramsey County and Zygi Wilf money on a new stadium in Arden Hills. Supporters of the Arden Hills plan and other observers of the stadium wars will point out that this is an idea that has already been rejected and that it poses many challenges. I hasten to point out that the times have changed since this joint-stadium proposal failed in 2002, and there are ways to address the challenges. First of all, the economy has degenerated precipitously since 2002, and my friend, Dave, and I agree it’s absurd to think about spending a billion dollars on a stadium when so many of our fel-

low citizens are losing their livelihoods and their homes. Second, bright Minnesotans can figure out how to address the challenges associated with the Vikings sharing a facility with the Gophers. Scott Ellison, the associate athletic director of facilities at the U, concedes that TCF Bank Stadium was designed so it could be expanded from its current 50,000 seats to 80,000. The Arden Hills plan calls for 65,000 seats. So we’d need to add only 15,000 seats to “the Bank.� And Zygi Wilf, the Vikings owner, can pay a few million for that expansion, rather than the $400 million he has pledged to the Ramsey County project. In return, it should be relatively easy for the state to provide Zygi with revenue from the luxury suites, from U parking lots, from concession stands and, of course, tickets so he can pay his players and make a profit. Ellison concedes that there is plenty of campus parking available on Sunday afternoons. But what about on Monday and Thursday nights when the U has classes? Last time I checked, there is a dedicated busway that connects the Minneapolis campus with the

State Fairgrounds, where there should be plenty of parking on game days. And isn’t our public money being used to build a light rail line that would run from parking-rich downtown Minneapolis through the campus? We could even give Zygi parking revenue from city-owned lots downtown and at the state-owned Fairgrounds on those days. But what about advertising revenue for the Vikings? The U gets revenue from TCF for the naming rights. Fans of soccer have seen those electronic advertising signs that line fields all over the world. In fact, a company in Roseville called School Space Media has contracts with several local school districts that allow those districts to raise money by selling advertising on those signs at sporting events. We can give Zygi the revenue from those signs. At this point, Ellison plays the cold card. TCF Bank Stadium doesn’t have a roof for those December games when it could be 20 below. As I recall, the Vikings played at the U on a bitterly cold day last December after the Metrodome roof collapsed. And I understand there’s a team in Green Bay that plays without a roof.

But we’ve got an ace in the hole for days when the boys shouldn’t be out in the cold. The dome would still be there for the scores of events that use it now when the Vikings don’t and could be used by the Vikes on 20-below nights when “the Bank� isn’t playable. Call me naive to believe that we can convince the Wilfs and the National Football League that a university can share a stadium with the pros. But I’ll call you irresponsible to ask that taxpayers spend $650 million for a stadium in Arden Hills that would be used fewer than a dozen times a year. Given the arm-twisting and negotiations going on this week over the stadium issue, I wasn’t able to do more than exchange voicemails with Dave. But I kind of think he and a few hundred thousand other citizens would see the wisdom of using a beautiful two-year-old stadium for the Vikings rather than spending more than a billion dollars for a new one.

What attracts more than 6 million annually to a little Italian town? by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In tough, challenging times, more than 6 million people a year go to a small Italian town on top of a hill. Although I am neither Christian nor Catholic, I was one of those 6 million recently. It’s easy to see why people come. Yes, it’s beautiful. But there are many similar, scenic tiny towns scattered throughout this country. The town is Assisi. The attraction is St. Francis. He was born in 1182, more than 800 years ago. But his life, work and message remain as timely today, as they were hundreds of years ago. St. Francis was born into

wealth. In his youth, he apparently enjoyed many of the opportunities that come with money. But it did not satisfy him. Going off to war, he was captured and spent a year as a prisoner. Then he was released, and returned to Assisi, not sure what he should be doing. He was like many other young people then and now, uncertain of direction and career. The story goes that St. Francis felt God talked with him, asking him to renounce wealth and to promote peace and charity. St. Francis did that for the rest of his life.

Among other things, he was a creative teacher. We were told, and other material I’ve read agrees, that he used what educators call “visual aids.â€? As the well written and illustrated Wikipedia discussion of his life notes, “In 1223, Francis arranged for the first Christmas manger scene. ‌ He used real animals to create a living scene so that the worshipers could contemplate the birth of the child Jesus in a direct way, making use of the senses, especially sight.â€? (A good short, illustrated discussion of his life is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Francis_of_Assisi.) Most of us will not give away our possessions. We won’t travel

the country or world preaching peace, begging others to give money to the poor. We won’t turn away from our families. We won’t found a religious order. But there is so much we can do. And I think this is part of what attracts 6 million to the tiny town. People don’t go just to honor the man, although that’s certainly part of it. They don’t go just to see the churches or the scenery, although the churches are impressive and the scenery is beautiful. I think people go to find encouragement, hope and perhaps, that often used word, “inspiration.� To “inspire,� my dictionary tells me, means among other things, to“uplift.�

It wasn’t just walking some of the steep streets in Assisi that lifted me up. It was the reminder of a life lived well, helping others. In this busy, complex, often troubled time, I found it more moving than I can convey to think about this man’s life, and what it means for me. Regardless of your religion or race, perhaps Assisi and St. Francis can do some of the same for you.

He can be reached at jnathan@macalester.edu.

Letters The best kept secret in town To the editor: The price was fantastic, the atmosphere was friendly from the people in the ticket office to the ushers at the doors and even the concession stand. Such a contrast from the stuffiness of Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis of which I was a past season ticket holder. Even the parking is easy, convenient, and no cost. I was long overdue to attend the Burnsville Performance Art Center to hear the Dakota Valley Symphony, but finally this year I became

a season ticket holder. I felt proud of Burnsville and its performance art center to host such a talented group of people who gather to practice for their performances. These musicians are led enthusiastically by their conductor, Steve Ramsey, who is my neighbor and I enjoyed tremendously. He discussed each piece in a way that helped you understand it or the composer a little bit better. The selection of music was superb, varied and entertaining. My neighbor, Jean, age 93, who accompanied me. is a former violinist herself and

a graduate of Julliard in New York. She thought the music was great and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. We are already looking forward to the next performance of “Amahl and the Night Visitors.� We intend to invite more neighbors along. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did! BRENDA ELSAGHER Burnsville

District 196 Board of Education elections draw near, I am writing to encourage parents within our school district to vote for incumbent School Board members, particularly Rob Duchscher. I have had the privilege to know him personally and professionally for over 12 years. His energy, work ethic and interpersonal skills, along with his business skills in the area of finances and short- and long-term planning make him an ideal candidate to continue to serve members of the community.

Duchscher does not take his role as board member lightly, and works very hard to communicate with district members and to educate himself on issues within the district. District 196 remains a top district in the state, in part due to the hard work and dedication of current board members. Especially in these challenging economic times, during which we face continued unpredictable state funding, we need to have experienced board members with a proven track record continuing to make prudent

decisions about how best to educate our students. Duchscher’s years of experience on the board and his wealth of knowledge in this role make him the best person to continue serving on the board. Get out there and vote for Duchscher and other incumbent board members and ensure that our district continues to be one of the best school districts in the country. CARRIE PEDERSON Lakeville

Senior Center up for sale Liquor study also discussed at recent City Council meeting THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Defamation/from 1A a perception in the community that he is opposed to the (new) senior center� and that the lie “is not attributable to Walter.� Bellows told Thisweek he could not comment on Walter or the case specifically, but did indicate that he is standing firm in his belief that the process for building the Heritage Center is flawed. “I’m always going to be concerned in a situation like this when senior citizens tell me they felt bullied and intimidated,� he said. “I’m opposed to the project.

study found. It also found that Costco does operate in a city with municipal liquor, Eden Prairie, on a “collocation� basis. The study said the city would need an additional $112 million in commercial development to make up for the loss of $1.1 million in revenue from the city’s municipal liquor stores. LaBeau and Council Member Matt Little differed on the tax impact of the city leaving the liquor business. Little said the study supports his claim that property tax collections would go up 5.66 percent, where LaBeau said that the $46 increase in taxes for the average value home would equal less than a 2 percent increase. Little voted against commissioning the study from the outset earlier this year, saying that it is clear if you remove $1.1 million in revenue you have to make it up somewhere. “We employ 43 people at the liquor stores,� he said. “There’s no guarantee those jobs will be replaced.� Council Member Kerrin Swecker said she was pleased with the study, and that the city did not need Shenehon and Associates to continue with the next phase. Council Member Laurie Rieb said the study answered a lot of questions. “I appreciated the study,� she said, “and how well it was done.�

The City Council voted to accept the municipal liquor study, which does not necessarily mean it “approvedâ€? it. Bellows found the study flawed – it looked at essentially two scenarios, municipal liquor operations and a landscape of private, independent outlets that far outnumber the former. “I’m not sure we’ve put to rest questions ‌ about a Costco,â€? he said. “I heard recently that another big box is interested in (I-)35 and (County Road) 70.â€? Bellows declined to specify the name of the retailer when asked after the meeting. Instead, he said that the study has another flaw: It overlooks the ancillary benefits of large retailers. “If big box retailers come, it means jobs and additional businesses located near them,â€? Bellows said. “It means construction.â€? They study’s results suggested that Costco chose against Lakeville because the city is on the edge of the metro, and not because of the municipal liquor operations. The Burnsville location Aaron Vehling is at aaron.vehfor Costco is closer to a ling@ecm-inc.com and www. large population center, the facebook.com/thisweeklive.

think it’s short-sighted, lacks vision and the process was flawed. I hope we learned from it.� Council Member Matt Little, a proponent of the Heritage Center, disagreed with Bellows’ assertion about the process. “The notion that our staff bullied seniors into accepting an updated facility makes little sense,� Little said. “This initiative was brought to us by seniors.� On a related note, the City Council plans to address the way it behaves. Council Member Laurie Rieb spoke on behalf of herself and fellow Council

Member Kerrin Swecker in calling for an assessment of meeting decorum and processes. “We’re concerned for how we’re conducting ourselves as a council, we’re concerned how we move through agenda items, and we’re very concerned with the loss of public confidence in this council,� Rieb said. Response among the other members was positive. The mayor said he is “certainly in favor of that.� Aaron Vehling is at aaron.vehling@ecm-inc.com and www. facebook.com/thisweeklive.

For Sale: Prime downtown Lakeville real estate. The Lakeville City Council voted recently to begin advertising the sale of the existing senior center site downtown for $380,000. The site would not be available for occupancy until next fall, when the Heritage Center opens, city officials said. The senior center will be one of three organizations to be housed in the Heritage Center, which is located across Holyoke from City Hall. The vote to approve advertising the sale was 4-1 with Mayor Mark Bellows the sole nay vote. Bellows, an avowed opponent of the Heritage Center project, asked city staff what happens if the city sells the property, but the Heritage Center becomes too expensive to build to completion, “are we burning our ship behind us?� City Administrator Steve Mielke said there are contingencies in place to address a situation in which costs exceed reasonable limits. The city can opt to upgrade or renovate certain components of the project and not others. Bellows wanted to ensure the project will remain tax neutral. Council Member Colleen LaBeau asked if city staff plan to get an updated appraisal of the property – the last appraisal was before the housing bubble burst in 2008. Mielke said he does not plan to seek a new apprais-

al, but that staff did add 10 percent on the asking price. “We could be in the position of receiving better bids than anticipated,� he said. LaBeau, who has worked in real estate since she was a teenager, disagreed. “It’s a different market,� she said.

Benefit planned for Farmington woman who suffered stroke while on vacation Debbie Sjoquist inspires others with her sense of humor, determination to overcome by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A fun trip to Reno this spring ended May 25, the day Debbie Sjoquist suddenly collapsed in a casino. The 45-year-old Farmington woman’s mother, Pat Engle, was shocked to find that Debbie had fallen to the floor next to some slot machines. At the hospital, Debbie looked like she was trying to respond to doctors’ questions, but no words came out. “I thought ‘Oh my God, she can’t talk,’ � Pat said. “At that moment, I knew there was something really wrong.� After tests, doctors concluded Debbie had suffered a major stroke, but remain baffled as to its cause.

Debbie and Brent Sjoquist before a major stroke in May left Debbie’s entire right side paralyzed. veteran spent 12 days in the intensive care unit before being medically transferred home by private jet to Minnesota. That expense of more than $20,000 was paid by Debbie’s family members, and insurance has so far refused reimbursement. Almost six months later, Debbie, who held a good job as a computer programmer, still struggles to communi-

cate and is paralyzed on her right side. She will likely never work again, but is working hard at rehabilitation exercises with the goal of regaining her ability to walk. “She’s a fighter, she’s really a fighter,� Pat said. At first, Debbie and her husband, Brent Sjoquist, hired at-home care, but when expenses and logistics became too burdensome, Debbie moved in with her parents, who are retired and live near Mankato. They have modified their home with medical equipment and devote themselves to her daily care and needs. Brent continues to work

and is struggling to carry on daily tasks without Debbie. “She used to take care of all the bills and handle all the paperwork,� Brent said, who described what they’ve been through as “trying.� He visits his wife frequently and remains a devoted husband. “I said till death do we part,� Brent said. The couple will celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary Sunday, the day after a benefit friends are organizing to raise money and help the family. The benefit from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, will be at the American Legion at 10 N. Eighth St. in Farmington. For $20 in advance or $25 at the door, there will be a taco bar and a silent auction. Local businesses and friends have donated about 120 items for auction, including a Walter Payton football jersey, Minnesota Wild tickets, handmade furniture and gift cards from local stores and restaurants. During Debbie’s ordeal, family and friends have been impressed by the unquenchable spirit and upbeat attitude she has continually exhibited, despite the pain and frustration she’s suffered. Her good humor and determination are beginning to pay off. “She’s starting to get more movement in her right leg. She can lift it when she’s laying down sometimes,� Brent said. To pre-purchase tickets for the benefit or donate to the family, contact Tanya Pauling at (651) 368-2942 or Barb Duff at (651) 2460429. Donations are also being taken at any Wells Fargo Bank branch; checks should be made to the Debbie Sjoquist fund.

The Halloween event at Eagan’s Caponi Art Park next weekend will not leave you trembling. A fear-infested, horror-laden haunted-trail experience it is not, nor is it not intended to be.

Guests are encouraged to wear costumes, and harvest-festival treats such as hot apple cider and s’mores will be available. There’s also a giant leaf pile. Young and old can jump right in. “It’s going to be big – at least 10 feet in diameter,� said Jenna Strank, communications coordinator for the park. “We have about 60 acres full of trees here, so it just depends how much we want to rake and blow the leaves.�

At each stop on the tour, kids will get a piece of candy that relates to the sculpture – a Milky Way bar at the work “Walk in Outer Space,� for example, and Twizzlers at “Struggle of the Elements,� because the sculpture is rife with Photo by Craig Drehmel curves which kids will be “Snake� by Anthony Caponi is among the sculptures feaencouraged to replicate with the licorice.

The Lakeville North girls soccer team is heading to state after defeating Northfield 5-0 in the Section 1AA final on Tuesday. As the No. 1 seed in the section, the Panthers will vie in the state tournament next week without a loss in 2011. “It’s been their goal to get to state all year,” co-head coach Josh Linde said. “I feel like they’re picking up momentum now. They’re certainly having a blast.” This is the team’s first trip to state since 2009 when it lost to the eventual state champion Woodbury in the

quarterfinals. The 2009 team was senior heavy, but there are still a few holdovers – Solena Cavalli-Singer, Simone Kolander, Breanna Sollie, Taylor Brownrigg and Gracia Bonesho. In the 5-0 win over Northfield, Alexa Trakalo had two goals and Brownrigg, Mollie Christensen and Erica Elias scored the others. Kolander had two assists and Emily Clarkin, Lauren Brownrigg and Sara Fisco helped out on the other goals. Keeper Alexis Joyce had two saves in the shutout victory. Just about every girl

saw playing time against Northfield including the junior varsity players they brought up for playoffs. “That was a wonderful situation that their family got to watch them play instead of sitting on the bench,” Linde said. In the three Section 1AA games, Lakeville North outscored opponents 14-0. Averaging nearly four goals per game while giving up just six during 20 games this season, the Panthers are the only team at state with an undefeated record. At state the Panthers will compete against Burnsville, Eastview, Stillwater,

by Andy Rogers Lakeville North and South swimming and diving teams will strive to qualify a pool full of state entrants during the Section 2AA meet Nov. 9-10 at Prior Lake. The girls have a few days to taper before then, but almost all the cut times are faster than they’ve ever been and the section looks to be one of the fastest in the state. The girls got a preview at the True Team Section 2AA meet last weekend. Based on their experience, several girls have a shot at qualifying for state.

Two of Lakeville North’s top performers are from the same family. Sisters Julia and Alena Bodnaruk have helped the Panthers remain tied for first in the South Suburban Conference with Rosemount and Prior Lake. Julia Bodnaruk is the sprinter of the two, placing second in both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle races at the True Team section. Alena Bodnaruk, who tackles the distance events, won the 200 and 500 freestyles. “They are great kids and very competitive too,” coach Dan Schneider said. “I believe they will both do well at sections and state.” The highlight of the season so far has been the dual meet win over Rosemount, which placed the team in the three-way tie for first in the conference. The girls also have defeated Austin, Bloomington Jefferson, Eagan, Eastview and Lakeville South. The team’s third-place finish at the True Team section was a bit of a disappointment. The girls were 11.5 points behind secondplace Eastview, which qualified for state as a wildcard. “(It) could have been better,” Schneider said. “We

were just not as good as needed to be to make the meet. The upside of not being in the meet is that we get another day of practice. We need it, too.” The Panthers will compete with fellow conference leader Prior Lake at the Section 2AA meet with a few other teams fighting for that second-place spot – Eastview, Lakeville South and Apple Valley. “We can be one of those teams, but will need to improve between now and then,” Schneider said. The Panthers have two of the top freestyle relays with the best times in the top eight in the state with Erin Kleiner, Brianna Smith and the Bodnaruks. Kleiner has been one of the top individual medley (second at True Team) and butterfly (first) swimmers in the state. Diver Kacie Pahl, who finished second at the True Team meet, also has high expectations for the rest of the season. “Our divers have been doing a good job and deserve kudos for good performances considering our pool was down and practice was limited for two weeks,” Schneider said. The Panthers will host Apple Valley on Thursday for their final meet before sections.

South

The Cougars finished fourth at True Team section. While the team didn’t qualify for state, many times were at their best. Taylor Perko had a lifetime best in the backstroke, finishing second. The 500 freestyle event, with Lindsey Ewings, Maria Herrera and Jarin Simpson swimming personal records, was the breakout event of the meet. Carrie Schrock took third in the 100 freestyle. Haley Chatelaine was third in the 500. It’s been an exciting season for South with wins over Austin, Burnsville, Apple Valley and Bloomington Jefferson. The wins over Eastview and Eagan came down to the final 400 freestyle relay. “In the Eastview meet we needed to finish in first and third,” Ringeisen said. “The A relay took care of business. However, the B relay was behind halfway through the race by two body lengths. Jackie Johnson and Hilde Bakken passed the Eastview relay for the victory.” Against Eagan, South was touched out on six close races and at one point trailed by 18 points. “I told the girls that it was possible to still win, however, we would need to win out,” Ringeisen said. The girls placed first and second in the 500 freestyle and the backstroke, and won the 200 freestyle relay. To win, the 400 freestyle relay team of Chatelaine, Madison McBride, Jarin Simpson, and Shea Bougie swam five seconds faster than their previous best time. “The fans were on their feet for the last four events and never stopped cheering,” Ringeisen said. The final dual for South is scheduled for Thursday with Bloomington Kennedy.

One of South’s top swimmers gunning for a chance at state is still just an eighthgrader. At the True Team section, Brianna Alexander won the 200 individual medley and was second in the breaststroke. “(She) is the real deal,” coach Rick Ringeisen said. “She knows how to train hard and how to pace her races. Last year, as a seventh-grader she qualified for the state meet and swam in Rogers is at the finals. This year she has Andy andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. set higher goals.”

brought in $50 for Daisy. A woman left Cloose a phone message stating she’d be praying for her and the animals she saved every night for the rest of her life. “People were so kind and generous,� Cloose said. “It was just so emotional, it just grabbed my heart. I felt like we were kissed by humanity.� At the sale, Daisy was the center of attention, with about 40 families offering to adopt the friend-

ly little dog who hasn’t let the abuse she suffered change her good nature. This week, the rescued terrier went home with Joel and Theresa Jaroscak and their daughter, Jennifer, the first family who rushed to see Daisy. “She’s such a sweet dog,� Joel said. “The first time I met her, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her.� Daisy will fill a hole in the family left a few months ago when their 15-year-old dog, Sadie, died.

The family visited Daisy at Cloose’s house about four times in the days before she underwent the surgery, and they have plans for Cloose to continue to visit Daisy in the years to come. Money donated to Amazing Animal Advocates beyond the cost of Daisy’s surgery has helped other rescued animals, including “Betty White,� a senior poodle who was in tremendous pain before receiving the oral surgery she desperately needed.

court to declare the rights, status and legal relations of the Lakeville Land and owners of other property subject to the covenant declaration, according to court documents. However, most of the defendants were removed by default. Morgan Square asserts in court documents that it is allowed to build additional townhomes on the property because it was allowed to operate outside the covenant before. It also asserts that at no point in the process of getting the city’s approval for the plat did Lakeville Land protest. Morgan Square platted a second phase of townhomes in 2005 and sold lots to M.W. Johnson Construction Inc., which built a variety of townhome types. Morgan Square said in court documents that Lakeville Land did not protest that either. Lakeville Land responded in court documents that “at the time of those transactions, Lakeville Land was unaware that (Morgan Square) had sold lots to M.W. Johnson or that M.W. Johnson was constructing townhomes on the property.� The next court date is in November.

ville Land’s property in an amount approaching $1 million.� Lakeville Land also asserted in court documents that the CDA does not manage its existing properties well. “Inspections of (the CDA’s) townhome projects has revealed that the CDA has failed to properly maintain some, if not all, of the projects,� Lakeville Land wrote to the court. Neither a representative of Morgan Square nor Lakeville Land was available for comment, but the CDA issued a statement responding to Lakeville Land’s assertions. “The Dakota County CDA strongly rejects the claims by Lakeville Land, Ltd., that the CDA’s rental properties are poorly maintained,� wrote CDA spokeswoman Sara Swenson. “The Dakota County CDA takes pride in the quality of both the construction and management of its family townhome developments. The CDA manages the properties with a professional staff and budgets for upgrades and capital improvements.� Lakeville city officials declined to comment on an active court case, but records show the Planning Commission and City Council approved the platting in late 2009.

CDA townhomes have income requirements dependent on the number of people in a family. A family of three seeking a two-bedroom townhome needs to earn at least $17,000 a year but no more than $45,000, according to the CDA website. Tenants also must meet a rigorous set of criteria, including positive landlord and credit references and a criminal history check. A starting school teacher with a stay-at-home spouse and a child could qualify for CDA townhomes. “The family townhomes at Morgan Square will provide housing for working people in modest paying jobs,� Swenson said in the statement. Morgan Square LLC initiated the lawsuit against Lakeville Land to get the construction of the CDA townhomes moving. The CDA is not directly involved in the lawsuit, other than that it has a purchase agreement on the property in question. The CDA, along with many other property owners in that area, including Muller Family Theatres, Harry’s Cafe and the City of Lakeville, was also named as a defendant in the Aaron Vehling is at aaron.vehlawsuit. Morgan Square’s ling@ecm-inc.com and www. intent was to compel the facebook.com/thisweeklive.

Local organizers installed a sign in Farmington’s Rambling River Park to designate the location of a veterans’ memorial. The memorial will feature a granite wall engraved with the words, “All Gave Some – Some Gave All.� Beneath it will be the names of Farmingtonarea servicemen and women who gave their lives in service to this country. The monument will include a statue of a serviceman wearing a helmet and backpack, and the wall will be flanked by an American flag on one side and a POW/MIA flag on the other. Organizers hope development of the monument will begin by next summer.
