Lakeville council tackles merits of social media During work session decorum discussion, Matt Little becomes focus because of his tweets, Facebook posts by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Do you want your city council members using Twitter and Facebook to communicate directly with the public? As the Lakeville City Council seeks to improve the way its members get along, the issue of social media is serving as a sticking point. Among the issues discussed at a recent work ses-

sion were whether council members should use social media outside of meetings and also whether they should be able to post updates during certain meetings. Matt Little is currently the only one of the five council members who uses the two social media applications regularly to connect with voters. His activity manifests in a couple different forms:

Live Twitter posts during work sessions and Facebook posts and tweets about city issues when he is not in meetings. At times, his Facebook page becomes an arena for Little to field constituent inquiries, such as Valley Park residents wondering about postal changes or a woman requesting that Lakeville designate one day for garbage collection.

Farmington and Rosemount officials are exploring an option to merge their fire departments into a single fire district. The cities would join forces to provide service to their communities and Empire Township, areas the departments already serve. Farmington Mayor Todd Larson said he and Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste have discussed the idea for about a year. In September, the two mayors met with Empire Township Chair Terry Holmes and both cities’ administrators to pursue the idea. “The whole reason behind it is to figure out ways to share equipment and support each other’s boundaries,� Larson said.

Without changes to Farmington’s preliminary budget, some local business owners will incur nearly 30 percent property tax increases in 2012. A new spreadsheet prepared by Farmington Finance Director Teresa Walters shows that under the city’s preliminary budget, taxes on a commercial property valued at $570,200 would increase by 26.2 percent in 2012. According to Walters, a rental property with a market value of $190,200 would see a 27.7 percent property tax increase next year if the city’s preliminary budget is finalized in December as-is. Walters noted half of the anticipated increase is attributed to legislative changes in the state’s property tax sysSee Increase, 7A

District 194 projects years of enrollment drops Data show possibility for loss of 300 students by 2012-13 and significant decline in state aid by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The population of residents in the Lakeville Area School District is aging without an influx of hordes of young people. This might play well in certain circles, but it means less revenue for the school district. Because so many of the district’s decisions are based on enrollment, the School Board will look into conducting a demographic study, with a vote to come eventually. Director of Business Services Mark Klett said in a report to the board recently that the numbers are “scary to me.� He projects a decline of almost 300 students by the 2012-2013 school year, with similar losses in each of the next four years.

Current e n ro l l m e n t for this school year is 10,889, which is down more than 100 Mark Klett from the previous school year, but still 800 students more than a decade ago. Projections are not an exact science, but Klett said he looked at a number of data sets. They include births in Dakota County as a measure of predicting kindergarten enrollment. Klett recommended that the board hire a demographer to compile a more accurate study and projections. “I’m not a demographer,� he said, adding that he is not comfortable making major decisions such as

budget adjustments without the proper data. Hazel Reinhardt, one of the most prolific demographers in the state, conducted the district’s previous study in 2008 for $7,500. Klett said that Reinhardt looked at housing starts, birth data and several other sets of data to develop enrollment projections. She also talks with city and county planners, in addition to other sources, to arrive at her conclusions. The issue of cost came up with more than one board member. Council Member Bob Erickson said the district currently has enough data that it could use some of that information, allowing Reinhardt more precise focus coupled with a cheaper bill. “Let’s try to sort out the

factors and how those lead to various trends,� Erickson said, noting that 48 percent of the population in the district has no children at home. He did, however, speak in favor of hiring temporary, part-time help to assist in the data collection. Board Member Michelle Volk questioned an extraneous expense, “considering the economic times we’re in. I wonder if it’s not better to just hold off another year.� She said the steep declines in enrollment call for a long-term strategy with a revisiting of the study next year. Board Member Jim Skelly supported the demographic study. “This is shocking to me,� he said of the projections. “Doing a demographic

study, I couldn’t agree with that more. We base our decisions in every part of the district on this.� He called for a larger committee, including board members and people from the community, to help in addressing the enrollment decline. The projections for 2012-2013 are similar to those for this year, Skelly said, so waiting a year to conduct the study could be feasible. Nevertheless, he said, the board has to address this issue head-on. “It’s not an issue that will go away,� he said. “We should find a way to address it. “It’s something everyone can agree on,� Skelly said. “I’m looking at the chart. That’s not the chart I expected to see when I moved

to Lakeville in 2000.� He added that he did not want Lakeville to suffer the fate of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District: going from a district of 11,000 students to one of 9,000 and enduring the challenges associated with such a drop. Klett emphasized the importance of doing a study to get the most accurate data possible. “We don’t want to be penny-wise and pound foolish because we don’t want to pay an expert,� Klett said. “Enrollment drives everything.� The board will further discuss the issue at its Tuesday, Nov. 22 meeting at the district office.

For Scott Sutherlin, it all started in the weight room at Apple Valley High School. The 1990 Apple Valley grad says he was a full-on “iron junkie� back then, logging long hours amid the barbells and dumbbells to strengthen up for football and wrestling. Under the tutelage of weight room manager Bud Bjornaraa, a former Minnesota Vikings strength coach, Sutherlin set three state powerlifting records in his age category, and took an independentstudy weight training class that led to his certification as a personal trainer at age 18. Now a personal trainer at Olympus 24 in Rosemount, he says his approach to fitness has evolved over the years. He’s dropped the “iron junkie� mentality and become a proponent of bodyweight exercises ideal for building muscle and burning fat – situps, pushups, pullups. That shift in focus is evident in his recently released DVD, “The PushUp Bible,� which features Sutherlin demonstrating 50-some bodyweight exercises, among them the “handstand pushup� and the ominous-sounding “impossible pushup.� “The Push-Up Bible� is the first in what Sutherlin

Keep off-year school levy elections in place by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Despite opposition from some Republican leaders, the majority of voters in Minnesota school districts approved 80 percent of the school operating levy elections on Tuesday, Nov. 8. That’s the best approval rate of these special levies since 1997. All but one of the renewal of existing levies were approved as voters reacted to the need for funds that could have resulted in fewer teachers and higher class sizes. A 10-year, $10 million (estimated) annual levy was renewed in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District with about 67 percent approval. Republican state Rep. Patrick Garofalo, House Education Finance Committee chairman,

who was one who raised questions about the need for such levies, intends to introduce a bill so that school districts could not hold operating levy elections during the off-year voting. The Farmington representative reasons that if they were held during presidential elections, for example, more people would vote and defeat them. He says the light voter turnout (10 percent of registered voters) proves his point about not having enough people involved in decisions that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Garofalo chastises local school districts for conducting off-year elections that are less transparent and involve fewer people in the election process. Off-year elections, however,

are more transparent and open because the school’s message does not get lost in the clutter of messages as in the presidential elections. It’s also not the school districts’ fault that voters are too lazy to cast ballots in odd years. As for the timing of the operating levy elections, Garofalo says school officials now can use the mailed ballot to conduct an operating levy election and his bill would not change that. It seems odd that Garofalo, who belongs to the party that advocates for local control, would institute a law that takes control away from school districts that may be in desperate need of immediate funding provided by the flexibility of having an off-year election. Changing the law banning off-year elections should be resisted.

Moreover, renewing operating levies should be done by elected school boards just as cities and counties and even states can approve tax levies without a vote. Elected school boards are just as capable of deciding needed revenues as city council members and county commissioners. Who knows better the need for revenues than the elected officials who keep saying run the schools like a business? While the Legislature has frozen the per-pupil aid on the formula for the last several years, it did provide $650 million more for this biennium, more than enough to pay the borrowing costs during the delayed payments of $2 billion to the schools. Part of that $650 million wisely went to help fund special education and closing the gap between what the

state pays and what local taxpayers have to subsidize. While other departments were cut, the Legislature funded education for the biennium at $14 billion. During this severe economic downturn, funding education is crucial for having an equitable and effective K-12 education system. Now is not the time to prevent local school districts from having off-year operating levy elections when the quality of the students’ education is at stake.

Letters Get involved with meal packing

To the editor: I am involved with a community event that is called South Metro Meal Packing (a subsidiary of Feed My Starving Children). It is in its inaugural year, and we have great expectations for the results. Local folks may be familiar with Feed My Starving Children and even may have helped in previous campaigns. The South Metro Meal Packing event is taking place Feb. 7, 2012. Each meal packed costs only 24 cents, and each volunteer generally packs 200 meals per shift worked. There are many volunteers who are willing to pack for free, but the funds to pay for the food costs ($48 per person) come up short. This pay-as-you-go discourages many volunteers from helping to pack the meals. In order to keep the momentum going for the African kids and other worldwide children who may be starving, local businesses and churches in the south metro area are being rallied to sponsor those who have little funds available to help. I am helping with this sponsorship. The facilities only for the packing are being donated by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and are being donated because the church is having its own event following the South Metro Meal Packing Community Rally. By blending them together the costs can be kept minimal, with more food ending up in those starving children’s tummies. Please seek help of monies and even packing participation from your Rotaries and other business acquaintances who may be willing to contribute. So far I have had good reception from local businesses and churches that are willing to help sponsor those unable to bring money for their packing efforts. Many of the businesses and churches are

offering their $48 per participant and packers on top of additional funds. If your heart is touched by this effort, please contact Gary Orris at (952) 6078157 or garyorris1@gmail. com, or me at rsjoquist@ burnsvilletoyota.com or (952) 435-8200. DICK SJOQUIST Burnsville

7A members could take notes on a laptop. Little currently does this during work session meetings, in addition to tweeting. Rieb and Swecker each asked Little if he could wait until the end of a meeting to use social media. “It’s still quicker than the newspaper,� Swecker said. Rieb wondered if Little can even pay attention to the meeting while taking notes. Little said it’s about personal responsibility. “I can’t always make sure you’re paying attention,� he said. “It’s not my job. The 10 seconds to write a tweet is not a detriment to what I’m learning.� LaBeau said she sees no public benefit to what Little is doing, adding that it serves to divide the community. “To go and post about someone else ... I don’t care what anyone says about me, but the community does,� she said. Little argued that the council should embrace technology. “We should be able to use computers in 2011,� he said. “If we have the technology, we should use it.� The council will continue to look at policy until one is finalized. “We need to treat each other better,� Rieb said. “It’s OK to disagree, but we can be respectful and work through things.�

The Lakeville City Council is looking at Woodbury for tips on how to address electronic communications among council members. The policy suggests a number of things, including that council members should not: • “Reply-to-allâ€? with mass emails among city staff and other council members. Replying to one council member is OK if the city administrator is copied in the email. • Communicate with each other electronically during a meeting. • Use the city’s social media properties for political purposes. None of these is a concern in Lakeville, but they are to be considered to serve as an insurance policy against potential future issues. The current concern about social media use centers on its role in eroding the congenial nature of the council.

“You all have lives outside of the city,� he said. “Do you really want to see a policy in which you can’t leave a cell phone on in case family needs to get a hold of you?� LaBeau said people got by without cell phones before. “But that was before,� Mielke said. “You can’t

IN BRIEF Months of budget negotiations come to a head this week as Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce President Ruthe Batulis weighs in on tax increase proposals at the 7 p.m. City Council meeting Monday, Nov. 21, and council members discuss budget options at a 6:30 p.m. workshop, Tuesday, Nov. 22, at City Hall.

Association, said reducing reliance on borrowing and debt is a worthy goal, but the plan should be implemented slower. “The bottom line is when the city is continually bonding money and borrowing, they are going to have to pay the piper one way or another,� Rath said. Kyle Snesrud, owner of Olympus Fitness, agreed that paying down debt is a good idea that takes time. Jerry Ristow, a used car dealer and former mayor and council member, said the city should “quit spending and throw the plan in the garbage like (council members Terry) Donnelly and (Julie) May told them to.� Likewise, Steve Wilson, a former City Council member, questioned the plan to “front load dollars for fu-

Wilson said raising taxes is “the wrong directionâ€? that will deter other businesses from locating in Farmington, subverting one of the City Council’s goals to attract new business. Jason Bartholomay, Farmington Economic Development Authority chairman and City Council member, said businesses would be reassured that the city has a plan to reduce its $38 million debt. Cities who don’t plan can face bankruptcy, he said. Balancing the concerns, Mayor Todd Larson said he will propose budget reductions at the workshop. Council members Christy Jo Fogarty and Bartholomay both support the plan but have said they would agree to reductions. Donnelly and May have opposed raising taxes in this economy. With the looming December deadline to set the city’s final 2012 budget, decisions are getting more difficult and politically

Swecker asked Little if he thinks he should tweet during meetings. “Absolutely,� he said. “If there is a work session and I tweet that, how is it harmful?� Little said that doing so during long work sessions allows him to communicate news directly to constituents. He added that he enjoys the rapport with citizens social media provides. “I haven’t used it to say in the midst of a meeting to come down to city hall,� Little said. “We have real-time technology that can engage citizens. There is a purpose for it.� He also took issue with the specificity of the policy being crafted. “Allowing cell phones but not Twitter is arbitrary,� he said. “Basically, we’re making a rule right now so that I can’t use Twitter.� LaBeau retorted that she does not “see the benefit of Twitter. Who’s gaining from it?� “People watch my updates,� Little said. Swecker offered that she sees the real-time news tweets as the realm of news media. Little said he would acquiesce to the request that he stop tweeting during meetings if the council agreed to hold televised work sessions in the council chambers.

Council members, including LaBeau and Swecker, have not been opposed to the idea of conducting work sessions in their regular meeting space, but at least a couple have said they prefer the roundtable environment of the conference room. As Little’s social media use has increased, so has the volume of his detractors. LaBeau said she gets calls from residents who complain about Little’s use of Twitter. “I understand you get those calls,� he said, “but I don’t.� Instead, Little said, he interacts with the public in a more transparent manner. “I do this because I feel the obligation to explain my votes,� he said. “During the election, everyone talked about being transparent. I feel I’m the most transparent with my votes.� Swecker said she agreed with the importance of social media, but the council concern is “getting back to working together.� “My concern is talking about opposition,� she said, “or that specific council members are opposition.� Little said he agreed and asserted he stuck to facts and votes in his social media discussions. “In my opinion,� he said, “my Twitter and Facebook are the least of this council’s problems,� he said, adding that he believes decorum during meetings is more of a problem than what he does with Twitter. There was also discussion about whether or not council

tem. The other 13 percent would be attributable to city government actions. Several Farmington City Council members have indicated they favor reducing the preliminary budget, and are expected to discuss options at a 6:30 p.m. Nov. 22 workshop at City Hall. During budget open house events, some business owners have expressed opposition to a key feature of the city’s preliminary budget, a plan to avoid additional debt and fund capital projects with cash raised from scheduled property tax hikes. Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce President Ruthe Batulis said she plans to voice the chamber’s opposition to any tax increases at the Monday, Nov. 21, Farmington City Council meeting. “Small business owners are going without paychecks to make sure that they are able to make payroll, restructuring expenses, dropping health care coverage, stretching out capital equipment purchases and basically ‘going without,’ � Batulis stated in a Nov. 1 letter to City Council members. She added local businesses have reported they are being denied access to their credit lines and bank loans to bridge revenue gaps, and many don’t know when the next job will come up or the

last client will pay. “Higher taxes in Farmington will undoubtedly strangle economic growth and job creation,� Batulis wrote. “It may cause additional business failures.� The majority of Farmington business owners interviewed for this story said they cannot afford higher taxes. Mike Johnson, owner of the Farmington Amcon Station, said he doesn’t like the city’s budgeting plans because it will cost him money, force him to raise prices and make it harder to compete. “There’s not as many people buying gas and car washes,� Johnson said. “This is no time to add taxes.� He said government employees have maintained raises and benefits while private sector workers who pay for it all are dealing with reductions in pay, hours, insurance and vacation time. “The city should quit spending,� Johnson said. “No more bike paths and parks. No more things that people don’t absolutely have to have.� Gina King, owner of the Farmington Bakery, and Ed Endres, owner of Pizza Man, agreed. “People aren’t spending money like they used to,� Endres said. “Everyone is cutting back except the city of Farmington. I think they can do more.� Clyde Rath, president of the Farmington Business

for anything better,� Kamarainen said. “I was in heaven.� The Eagan resident and former human resources director for a Fortune 100 company opened the after-school theater program for children in grades K-8 this summer. The company is an extension of a program Kamarainen offered a few years back at Eagan’s Pinewood Elementary, where her daughters attend school. “It hit me – why don’t we have a drama program in elementary schools?� she said. “I asked to start an after-school drama program at Pinewood, and within three days 80 kids had signed up, with a waiting list of 40.� The success of that first foray into children’s theater prompted her to offer the program at other area elementaries, and it soon snowballed into its current manifestation at the former Eagan church. Staffed by about a half-dozen Twin Cities theater professionals, it offers classes focusing on

acting basics, culminating in formal performances at the end of each monthslong session. The theater bug runs in Kamarainen’s family. Her initial inspiration for starting the children’s company came from a visit a few years ago with her great uncle, the Rev. James Cashman, a former high school drama teacher in White Plains, N.Y., and now an Onamia, Minn., resident. His pupils included Alan Alda and Jon Voight. “Theater was my first love, and he reignited my love of drama,� said Kamarainen, who first got involved in theater in high school and college. When the Young Actors Theater Company’s current session ends in early December, Kamarainen plans to offer workshops on topics such as special-effects makeup and simulated combat, prior to the start of the full spring session which starts in late January. The company offers open enrollment, with

Panthers runner-up at state Lakeville North falls to Eden Prairie in a five-game thriller by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After falling behind by six points at the state tournament in the final game of the state final, Lakeville North needed to play perfect volleyball. In they end Lakeville North was only near perfect. The Panthers’ hearts were broken by Eden Prairie in the Class AAA state final 22-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-18, 22-20 on Saturday night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Typically, the fifth and final game is played to 15, but with a win-by-two rule, it had a healthy dose of drama. The Panthers trailed 11-5 at one point, but cut the lead to 12-11. Eden Prairie surged ahead 14-11, but the Panthers knotted the game again at 14-14 and wouldn’t go away, tying it five more times. “We’ve been able to do that all year,” Lakeville North head coach Steve Willingham said. “What I love about this team and

their character is that they never play like they’re behind. We dug a hole for ourselves, but we had match point. They played like we were tied and sure enough, we tied it up.” Lakeville North was a point away from winning twice, but attack errors put Eden Prairie back in the game. “I laid everything I had on that court,” sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Goehner said. “I’m obviously not happy with the result, but I’m so proud of my teammates.” Eden Prairie eventually pulled away to win 22-20. “We set some goals to be a state champion at the beginning of the season,” Willingham said. “At times that looked like it might get the chance but they battled through. We were right there where we needed to be at the end. I give a lot of credit to Eden Prairie and their players. They’re a great team. It turned out we didn’t have an answer to some of the things (Eden Prairie) can do. They’re a great champion.” The Panthers rallied from behind several times in the match. In the first game, Eden Prairie took an early 9-3 lead, but Abby Monson’s

loss of the state tournament after defeating Bemidji and Andover 3-0. Unshaken by the loss, the Panthers took an early lead for the first time in the series in game three, leading all the way to a 25-19 win thanks in part to 10 Goehner kills. In game four the Pan-

thers fell behind quickly 2112 with more attack errors (8) than kills (7), but they found some momentum with a six-point run before Eden Prairie won 25-18 to force the deciding fifth game. Goehner led the team with 34 kills and 38 digs. Kelly Nizzari had 10 kills. Sami Flattum and Nicole Latzig each had five. Jessica Wolff had 50 assists. Goehner was named to the Class AAA All-Tournament Team for the second year in a row. She was joined by teammates Wolff and Flattum. It was a special weekend for Willingham, who took over head coaching duties at the beginning of the season. “I’ve been a teacher here since 1986 and coaching since 1986,” Willingham said. “Just to be part of the long tradition of great volleyball here. I can’t say enough about how much it means to me and how much it means to these girls.” The Panthers won the Class AAA state title last year and know how hard it is to win. The Panthers finished runner-up five times before winning the state title. “We’ve had great players See Panthers, 16A

Panthers foiled by late Raider field goal Lakeville North led 22-15 but loses in final seconds by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Cretin-Derham Hall football team set off an evening of anguish for Lakeville North with a 32-yard game-winning field goal with 3 seconds remaining in the Class 5A quarterfinal game Nov. 11 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The field goal gave Cretin-Derham Hall a 2522 victory, putting an end to Lakeville North’s season. The drama was even higher after the Panthers saved a timeout to call right before the kick. The Raiders converted on a 27-yard field goal only to have it erased by a Cretin false-start penalty. When they lined up again, the Raiders still converted to win 25-22. “I don’t think there was a single kid on our team that thought he was going to kick that field goal with the low snap,” Panther head coach Brian Vossen said. “That’s a brutal position for a high school kid to be in, but he made a great kick. “We scored 22 points on what’s supposedly the best defense. I’d argue that we’re right up there. I thought if we scored 22 points we should have won.”

Allowing 10.8 points per game during the regular season and Section 1-5A playoffs, few teams had figured out how to get through Lakeville North’s defense until Nov. 11. With the game tied at 22-22, Cretin-Derham Hall faced a fourth-and-4 on the 41-yard line. James Onwualu scampered 21 yards to set up the winning field goal, which capped a 6-minute drive. The game didn’t start well for the Panthers either. Quarterback Trey Heid fumbled on the second Panther play of the game giving Cretin-Derham Hall possession 36 yards from the end zone. The Raiders took advantage with a Connor Rhoda 1-yard touchdown run. The Panthers answered right back. On the next drive, a Heid 22-yard run set up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Joel Oxton. Key first-down conversions were made by Panthers Brandon Morgan, Oxton and Kevin Eskuri during a drive that led to a 2-yard touchdown run by Heid. That gave the Panthers their first lead late in the second quarter.

In the second half, Onwualu took the lead back on a fourth-and-inches play with a 30-yard touchdown run. Cretin-Derham Hall’s 2-point conversion pushed the lead to 15-12. Panther Zach Creighton responded with a 48-yard kickoff return to put the Panthers in position to take the lead. Heid found Eskuri wide open for a 26-yard touchdown pass to put the Panthers up 19-15, and Heid kicked a 29-yard field goal before the end of the third quarter to give the Panthers a little more breathing room. In the fourth quarter, the Panther defense came up short. Onwualu’s 3-yard touchdown run and extra point tied the game at 22-22 with 9 minutes, 9 seconds left to play. It was the most any team had scored on the Panthers all season. “There’s only a handful of teams that are undefeated at this point,” Vossen said. “We have a lot to proud of being 10-1. This is the best Lakeville North team ever.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Lakeville North girls swim team finished second at the Section 2AA meet Nov. 9-11 at the Twin Oaks Middle School pool in Prior Lake. “I thought the girls overachieved at every level, and the ones moving on to the state meet have a chance to do some very nice things,” head coach Dan Schneider said. Panther individual swimmers who qualified for state include: • Alena Bodnaruk, who won the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events. • Julia Bodnaruk took first in the 100 freestyle and second place in the 200 freestyle, earning automatic qualifying for finishing in the top two in the section. • Erin Kleiner swam state-qualifying time in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. • The Panthers are also sending the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. Erin O’Brien joins the Bodnaruk sisters and Kleiner to swim the 200 freestyle relay and Brenna Smith joins them for the 400 freestyle. • Kacie Pahl will represent the Panthers in diving. Schneider and assistant coach Katey Schneider were awarded the Section 2AA Coaches of the Year at the meet. “This is an award which truly is representative of the kids’ efforts,” said Schneider. “As a coach, it’s gratifying to receive the recognition of your peers. Our senior leadership and the kids who performed in the pool are the ones who earned the award, they’re the ones that make us look good.”

all three relays qualified for state after the team finished third in Section 2AA. “The kids swam unreal in prelims and I felt they had a lot left heading into Friday’s finals,” South head coach Rick Ringeisen said. Lakeville South’s individual state qualifiers include: • Brianna Alexander, who won the 100 breaststroke and took second in the 200 individual medley. •Taylor Perko and Shea Bougie swam state-qualifying times in the 100 backstroke. • Perko, Alexander, Bougie and Carrie Schrock will compete in the 200 medley relay. • In the 200 freestyle relay, Haley Chatelaine and Allie McKennell join Alexander and Schrock. • South’s 400 freestyle relay has Schrock, Bougie and Chatelaine joined by Madison McBride. “Section finals are over, now it’s time to mentally and physically prepare for the best competition these kids will see all year,” Ringeisen said. “We’ll need to dig deeper to find a little extra, and there’s no doubt this group can do it.”

Farmington

The Tigers finished third in Section 1AA behind Rochester John Marshall and Rochester Mayo, and they also broke a meet record and set six new school records. Two relays and two individuals will swim at state. Kaitlyn O’Reilly and Zoe Avestruz will participate in four events. O’Reilly broke a meet record in the 100 backstroke with a time of 57.18 seconds. She was second in the 200 individual medley. Both times are school records. Avestruz qualified in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly after finishing fourth in both events. Her 50 freestyle time was a school record. They will join Abby Haugen and Robin Hellis in the 200 medley relay and Kristen Kracke and Cora Ruzicka in the 400 freestyle relay. Both relays had school-record times along Lakeville South with Ruzicka’s time in the Three individuals and 500 freestyle.

trict, cities would share a ladder truck, saving the cost of individual ones, and store it in a mutually accessible location. Farmington would still need a new fire truck to replace an aging one that was in the shop a few weeks ago when a fire occurred in the northern area of the city. In that case, Lakeville was called in, and although Farmington firefighters arrived within minutes of the call, the small structure was destroyed in the blaze. All people in the home were safely evacuated.

Larson said there are many details involved with creating a fire district that would need to be worked out, and it would take years to accomplish. Among the group’s discussions has been pension plans. Larson said new hires would likely become part of a pension-sharing plan that would have to be established. Both cities would save money and gain resources. Larson said new insurance ratings would be given and likely result in lowering costs for both cities. Those savings would be passed on to residents. “If it will work or not,

we don’t know, and we’re not going to until we put a pencil to it,� Larson said. The group plans to meet before the end of the year to continue talks. This new cooperation may lead to other joint ventures between the two cities. One option that has been discussed is sharing sewer cleaning and monitoring equipment. “Once we get this done, we can begin working on other areas in the city,� Larson said.

Farmington residents Ed Samuelson and Brian Vik reviewed information about Farmington’s proposed 2012 budget at its last open house Nov. 14. Both men said they are opposed to the city’s plan to increase property taxes to fund capital projects.

Farmington Council set to debate budget options at rescheduled workshop City’s last budget open house held Monday THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington City Council’s budget workshop, originally planned for Tuesday, Nov. 15, has been rescheduled to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, at City Hall. At the workshop, Farmington City Council members are expected to express their opinions about a proposal to increase property taxes to build a cash fund to pay for major capital projects. The plan increases property taxes for seven of the next 11 years, with the biggest increase coming in 2012. Because of state changes in the Market Value Homestead Credit, non-homestead properties would pay more than homestead properties. The cumulative increase for this plan on an average homestead property over the next 11 years is $251 and $495 for an average non-homestead property. While some city officials have said the plan saves taxpayers millions in inter-

est by eliminating the need to bond for predictable projects and planned improvements, taxpayers have spoken against the plan at three budget open house events. Taxpayers have cited concerns about raising taxes in a down economy. Many who attended cited worries about job losses, falling property values and the challenges of living on a fixed income as the cost of living continues to climb. At the city’s last budget open house Nov. 14, Farm-

ington resident Brian Vik said he pays $100 per week for property taxes, and the city needs to tighten its belt. “I’ve had to cut my budget, why shouldn’t they?� Vik said. Farmington City Council members have said they may make cuts to the plan, and are likely to discuss ideas for changes at the workshop. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville North’s Jessica Wolff, No. 8, sets up an attack by Nicole Latzig, No. 7, in the Class AAA final against Eden Prairie last weekend. To view more photos, visit www. ThisweekLive.com. Wolff said. “There wasn’t any single point where our heads were down ... Even if the score is 0-0 or 0-5, there’s not a single time where we felt shaky, that we’re not going to win.� Three weeks ago, the Panthers didn’t expect to get this far with the No. 3 seed in the Section 3AAA tournament, behind No. 1 seed and the top ranked team in Class AAA Lakeville South and No. 2 Eagan. The Panthers beat them both. They didn’t have the typical nerves of stepping out on the court at the Xcel Energy Center. “We played here last year so we knew what to expect,� Nizzari said. “The balls float more and the serves go out easier than you expect. The ceilings are different. We knew we wanted to get at it right away. “We knew getting through our section would be impossible, but we did it. It was just amazing to get back here.�

You can’t win with just two players. You have to have everyone.� The Panthers learned that the hard way this season losing their first match in more than a year at the Apple Valley Tournament to Blaine in October. “We know what it’s like to be down,� Goehner said. “Part of it is that we had five (regular season) losses this year. We weren’t mentally there. Part of that is because we hadn’t come together yet. We were playing like 10 different people.� The Panthers defeated Andover 25-20, 25-21, 25-20 in the Class AAA state semifinal on Friday. The Panthers trailed by as much as five points but bounced back several times. Rogers is at “Even when we were Andy down, we pushed ahead,� andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
