Retiree benefits projected to cost district millions
More than just a ‘Taste’
Lakeville Area School Board seeks benefit changes by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
OPINION Repair special ed funding With many Democrats and Republicans in agreement, the special education funding system needs to be fixed. Page 4A
THISWEEKEND
The Lakeville Area School District is projected to owe about 1,350 current and former employees more than $31 million in earned retirement benefits, under today’s estimated valuation and assumptions. Instead of paying retiree benefit costs on a schedule established by actuaries, the district has paid the debts as they arise, accruing a $17.3 million unfunded liability, according to a July 1, 2010, PostEmployment Benefit Valuation Report prepared by Hildi Inc. Like many school districts, Lakeville is paying insurance and other post-employment benefits through the general fund and last year for the first time the district levied $604,000 specifically to fund retiree benefits, according to Randy Anderson, the district’s executive director of business services. That levy is included in residents’ 2013 property tax bill. Whether bonding or levy, funding the district’s contractual obligation for retiree benefits will over time come out of the district’s general fund, Anderson said. Lakeville Schools did not issue bonds to help pay the post-employment benefit obligations from 2007-09 when the Legislature allowed the district to issue bonds without voter approval to pay postemployment benefit obligations. Anderson said at the time, the district had just levied to build Lakeville South High School, and Jill Urdahl, president of Hildi, said the board at that time was concerned about rising taxes.

Fewer students are eating school lunch in Lakeville, Farmington and around the country following new federal rules that restricted calories, increased food mandates and added pricing requirements. Lakeville Schools saw 3 to 10 percent drops in the amount of students purchasing school lunches, after new mandates of the 2010 Hunger Free Healthy Kids Act took effect this fall, Gayle Smalley-Rader, Lakeville Schools student nutrition supervisor told the School Board at its May 14 meeting. Under the federal mandates, every school lunch must include fresh fruits and vegetables and limit calories to 650 for elementary grades, 700
calories for grades 6-8 and 850 calories for grades 9-12. Trans fats were eliminated from school food menus and sugar and sodium have been reduced; all breads served to students must be at least 51 percent whole grain. The program intends to encourage healthy choices and reduce childhood obesity, but much of the program’s good intentions is literally going to waste. Lakeville South High School junior Ryan Donovan said many students are directed by food service workers to take a fruit to get the discounted rate, which they do, but many are not eating it. “You see a lot of kids like grabbing the food just to throw it away,” Donovan said. Under the federal requirements, students must
take a half-cup serving of fruit or vegetable to get the school lunch price and for the district to get its federal reimbursement. Students who do not take the fruit or vegetable are charged the higher a la carte prices. Lakeville South junior Cody Kairis said he also sees “a lot of kids wasting the vegetables if they have to dump them onto their tray.” The amount of uneaten food being thrown away this year was enough to cause Lakeville school lunch officials to issue a plea to parents in January after McGuire Middle School cooks counted over 170 servings of uneaten fruit and unopened juice being thrown away every day. According to the January Student Nutrition See LUNCHES, 13A
Lakeville North teacher takes a final bow Popular choir director retires this year by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
For 14 years, Lakeville North High School teacher Paul Wigley set high expectations for his music students, encouraging them to try and cheering them in their efPaul Wigley forts. “ H e ’s not an easy teacher,” said Kathi Lamminen, Lakeville North parent and choir booster president. “He’s tough, and he expects a lot out of them. He gives them really difficult music to do, and they do it. Sometimes I think they do it for no other reason than Mr. Wigley, just to show him they can.” His students describe Wigley’s energy, passion for music and teaching with a mixture of pride, devotion and sadness: Wigley is retiring this year, and set to direct his last choir concert May 23, after this edition went
to press. “He’s my favorite teacher by far,” said Lakeville North junior Kami Wood. “He’s energetic and motivated to make class fun. He puts in 110 percent every day. I think every teacher wants to be there for students, but Mr. Wigley does a great job of showing that.” Wigley, 59, came to the district in 1999 with big shoes to fill: those of Larry McCaghy, a popular teacher who had built Lakeville’s high school choir program, directing it for 34 years and developing multiple choir groups. Perhaps McCaghy’s best known startup is the Now and Then Singers, an a capella group that is among the state’s best. McCaghy said when he was to retire, there was great care taken in selecting his replacement because of the value put on the music programs. “It was a well-established program and had a good reputation,” McSee WIGLEY, 14A

Lakeville firefighters welcome recruits, honor retiree by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A crowd of family, friends and colleagues of the Class of 2011 Rookie Group filled the Lakeville City Council chambers May 20 to see new firefighters sworn in after completing two-year probationary period with the department. Ten of the 13 class members were in attendance and a family member or spouse pinned their badges on them as part of the ceremony. New firefighters are Ryan Gephart, Mark Hermanson, Jeff Schroepfer, Dan Swanson, Jason Haugen, Steve Higgins, Matt Leibrock, Jesse Nergard, Bob Rinkenberger, Tabatha Calvin, Jeff Denny, Skylar Hanson and Dominic DeLisi.
Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyers recognized Phil Leibfried for 21 years of service with the fire department.
City Council Member Kerrin Swecker said it was “especially cool” to see many of the rookie class members’ children and families in attendance. “But what I also want you to do is turn around and look at your other family,” she said, referring to the numerous uniformed Lakeville firefighters filling the chambers. “They’re always here, and they’ve always got your back.” Chief Mike Meyers also recognized Phil Leibfried, who retired last October after more than 21 A crowd of family, friends and colleagues filled Lakeville City Hall on May 20 as 10 of the 13 new firefighters were years of service as a sworn in.

Dakota County survey results analyzed A look behind the badge A recent survey taken in Dakota County to assess residents’ satisfaction with county government, service delivery and life in general shows locals are happy with their overall quality of life, among other things. The Dakota County Resident Survey has residents rate a variety of topics and issues, and then converts their answers into a 100-point scale. According to results, the average rating of overall quality of life in Dakota County was 76, sitting above the benchmark of other counties in the nation. Also receiving high marks on the sur-
vey were the safety of neighborhoods (with an average rating of 80) and the performance of the Dakota County Board (with an 88 percent approval rating). The Resident Survey was mailed to 2,600 random Dakota County households in February and distributed among the seven county commissioner districts. Using past surveys, the county will be able to make comparisons between 2013 results and those from prior years. To see full survey results, visit www. dakotacounty.us and search Resident Survey.

Opinion Special education funding system needs to be repaired The number of students who have special needs in Minnesota is growing and the funding system to educate them needs to be repaired. Each student with special needs has an individual education plan that by law must be funded. All children including those with special needs have an equal right to an education as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. They also have a right to the same funding as all children. The problem comes when the cost of mandated individualized programs for special needs children is greater than the state and federal funds provided. Local school districts then by law must pick up the extra cost from their general funds, causing school boards to cut funds and opportunities for all students. In 1967 Congress passed a law requiring school districts to have an individual plan for each learning disabled child and
ECM Editorial promised to provide 40 percent of the funding. The state of Minnesota also is expected to provide funds to educate these children. At no time was it suggested that local school districts would have to fund what the federal and state governments refused to provide. Look at what’s happened in Minnesota alone. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, in 2012 it cost $1.8 billion to fund these individual plans. The state and federal government covered $1.2 billion forcing local school districts to bolster special education funding by almost $600 million from their general operating funds. Had the federal and state governments
paid what was promised – another $450 million – local school districts would have had to pay only $150 million more last year. Obviously this system is broken. There has been no action by either the federal or state governments to close the funding gap that compels the diversion of local school district funds from programs for all to the cost of mandated IEPs. The federal government is content with the underfunded status quo. Gov. Mark Dayton had budgeted an extra $125 million for special education. State legislators would rather spread any new funding to their local districts, rather than give more to districts that educate many of the disabled learners. A leading advocate for children with learning disabilities contends that a local school district’s subsidy of the funding gap is part of the community’s responsibility to educate all children. She notes
that students with special needs also lose opportunities when districts cut operating budgets. In a survey taken by ECM education columnist Joe Nathan, 40 Minnesota school superintendents said their No. 1 priority for the federal government is full funding of special education. We favor a concerted effort to have the federal and state governments live up to their commitments, because after all they are the ones who mandate that these IEPs be funded. Until the people rise up and demand that the federal and state governments live up to their promises, under-funding will continue and students who have no IEPs will continue to feel the loss of educational opportunities they deserve. An opinion of the ECM Publishers Inc. Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM.
Letters Set free the desire for freedom To the editor: I was very excited to see the chairman of a DFL Senate District, Steve Quist, congratulate state Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, for his vote on gay marriage. What was really shocking was that Quist was a Democrat and he talked about giving more freedom to people – something Democrats normally oppose as much as possible. Don’t get me wrong, most Republicans may talk about increasing freedom, but never really do anything about it. Since Quist is excited about providing people more freedom, I would like to offer some other areas for Quist to explore and possibly help the Democratic party do a 180 on the freedom issue. Start with opposing Obamacare and letting people choose their own health care provider, whether in-state, out-ofstate, or international. How about even not forcing people to buy health care if they don’t want it? Oppose forcing everyone to contribute to the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security. How about stop forcing everyone to contribute to Medicare and forcing seniors to use it? Surely, people must see the lack of freedom in these two programs? Obtain a concealed carry permit and go “packing” to the next DFL convention. When they tell him at the door that guns are not permitted in Democrat functions, he can tell them it is time for that “change” President Obama keeps talking about. Fight for more private education, the ability for people to trade for goods in the currency of their choice, including gold, and the end of taking
people’s money and giving it to foreign governments under the crazy name of ‘foreign aid.” I hope all these new issues don’t overwhelm Quist, but once someone discovers freedom it really is difficult to contain the desire. HAL CRANMER Lakeville
Church reference questioned To the editor: I am writing in response to the story on Rep. Pat Garofalo’s conversion to a yes vote on the marriage amendment. This is not a defense of marriage or a questioning of the biblical interpretations of homosexuality. I am neither clergy nor an attorney. What I am is a Catholic. I too attend All Saints parish in Lakeville. I have had the honor and the privilege to be shepherded by great priests, all of whom are on the record in their communion with the churches teaching on gay marriage. What troubles me, is that the author felt it was so germane to the story to acknowledge Garofalo’s connection with All Saints Catholic Church. To me, this was a not so clever attempt to give Garofalo some cover on a contentious issue, by implying that perhaps he sought the counsel of the Catholic Church. Why was only the Catholic Church singled out in the story? Why was this bit of information so vital, it was placed in the second paragraph? What homilies have I missed that may have helped Garofalo to change his mind, in a way that the Catholic Church would sanction his vote. Was there any attempt to talk to state representatives, who had perhaps had an epiphany in the contrary direction?
Finally, Garofalo said that there was a price to securing his votes. His votes can be purchased? TIMOTHY JOHN DUECKER Lakeville
Republicans don’t have the resolve To the editor: When are Republicans going to help? In the past biennium the so called fiscally responsible Republicans where too chicken to cut spending and too stubborn to raise revenues. Instead they forced the Minnesota government to shutdown, squandered the state’s reserve, raided the tobacco fund and cheated on the obligation to pay schools. Since this was still not sufficient to operate in the black they also incurred a $5.8 billion deficit. Just like if you don’t pay your bills on time, taxpayers now have to make up for being arrears plus pick up the cost of service charges and the interest cost. Instead of helping to repair this damage, Rep. Mary Liz Holberg, Rep. Pat Garofalo and Sen. Dave Thompson are disparaging, obstructing and poisoning. If your minister tells the membership to reduce their contributions as this will make the congregation flourish you will think he has lost his senses. Yet, this is the only idea in Republicans heads because it appeals to their “freeloaders” mentality and dodges responsibility. They just don’t want to face the fact that we have to pay for our life and our government. We have seen how they mask their failures, by diverting attention with the marriage amendment and voter ID.

Discouraged by Hall’s comments To the editor: It appears Sen. Dan Hall, R-Burnsville, has forgotten that “all God’s creatures have a place in the sun.” I was very discouraged to read his comments in Sun Thisweek (May 17). Whatever his church decides to hold as a sacrament should be protected, but what his church decides is sacramental should not dictate to the state. I encourage him to look around. It is pretty clear that where church and state are not separated, we have more death, destruction and desolation as people fight to prove their God is the better God or only God.

Clausen helps meet needs of the disabled To the editor: I thank Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, for his vote April 29 in favor of higher revenues. I know there can be strong opposition to increasing taxes, but when I look at who benefits and how many needs are still unmet, it’s easier to see why voting for more revenues is wise. Minnesota’s Medical Assistance program, for example, spends a significant amount of its funds on programs that help people with disabilities. These programs support people like my sister, who has significant disabilities and will always need that support. Our tax dollars pay for the group home
where she currently lives with several other women and really feels at home there. Before she moved to the group home, our tax dollars paid for staffing and services for more than two decades so my parents could care for her at home as long as possible, until her needs became too great to stay there. Unfortunately, there are many needs that could be better met if more revenues were raised. For example, there are 3,600 Minnesotans with disabilities who wait for the services that will help them be more independent. Also, one in 88 children is now diagnosed with autism; many will likely receive services throughout their lives. Clausen’s vote in favor of more revenues will help ensure that we can meet the needs of my sister, others with disabilities, and their families now and in the future. MARK GONNELLA Apple Valley
President can find out who To the editor: It has been over eight months since our diplomats were abandoned to terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. We still don’t know who (by name) refused to send the requested enhanced security. We don’t know who (by name) gave the “stand down” order to those in Benghazi who were prepared to help. We don’t know who (by name) refused to give the order to send in military help. Certainly, President Obama, the most powerful man in the world is able to answer these simple “who” questions … if he wants to. DIANA BRATLIE Lakeville
Thankful for the paper
I discontinued subscribing to a newspaper years ago. Then we moved to Eagan, and I started receiving Thisweek, now Sun Thisweek, in my delivery tube each Friday. I look forward each weekend to reading about Eagan and neighboring cities, people in my community, children and schools that make up the fabric of lives lived south of the river. It’s a wonderful feeling each Saturday morning to read through the pages, and, yes, I read through it completely. I find I have time, despite being one half of a working-parent duo with a young child at home, because this newspaper is wonderful and makes me feel connected in a way that means “home.” I enjoy the small town yet big city amenities of Eagan, and I love reading all the stories and opinions that the staff brings together for us. I have often read articles about those in need and it helps me to put my charitable dollars in the right places. I’ve read things about our parks that have made me take action and write to my elected officials. I’ve been moved to say a prayer for those who are going through difficult times as reported in the paper. I read the Mature Lifestyles section commemorating our veterans and their families and was particularly moved by the article written by Emily Hedges about William Vsetecka’s poem “Invasion of Iwo Jima.” I cried and bowed my head and said a heartfelt thank you to the veterans and soldiers who gave and give so much for us. I intend to keep a copy in my office cube for visitors to see and remember and keep one up on my home office desk so that I can do the same. I am very grateful for all that the staff brings to me in the form of Sun Thisweek each week. I’m sure you get a lot of letters that have criticism but this one only contains thanks.

Local daycare providers could form union Dakota County providers, lawmakers factor in the debate by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
In a stormy climax, the Democratic House passed child care and personal care attendant unionization legislation on Monday, May 20. The 68-66 vote brought cheers from union activists in the House gallery and catcalls from Republicans on the floor. “Let them applaud,” a Republican shouted at House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, as the Thissen gaveled for quiet. “They own the place,” a Republican yelled. The vote could set in motion a process by which union activists, supplied with lists from the state, would collect signatures from child care providers and personal care attendants receiving state subsides. An election, by mail ballot, would take place if at least 30 percent of providers eligible to vote indicated a wish to join a union. Darleen Henry of Rosemount, a personal care provider since her mother suffered a stroke about two years ago, was outside the House chamber with other activists after the vote. “I feel like I have someone who’s there for me, someone behind my back,” Henry
said of a union. “I know we don’t have a union yet, but I feel it’s at least a possibility now.” Henry views the union as a means of getting additional training. Another activist outside the House chamber was Becky Swanson, a Lakeville child care provider. Swanson spoke of filing suit in federal court to stop the vote. “We’ll fight this for eight years,” Swanson said. One of the plaintiffs in the successful suit against Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, when the governor attempted to call an unionization election by executive order, Swanson isn’t surprised a unionization effort is taking place in Minnesota. “Minnesota is union-friendly state,” she said. She has nothing against unions, Swanson said, but child care providers are private businesses. Debate on the House floor was emotional. Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, said she and her husband have owned rental property and have rented to people receiving government assistance. “Are we next?” Scott asked of possible unionization. “Are landlords next?” Rep. Sarah Anderson, R-Plymouth, dismissed the idea the legislation was about bettering the lives of providers and improving the quality of child care. “It’s money. It’s all about money,” Anderson said of unions collecting dues. House Deputy Minority Leader Jen-
nifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, appealed to Democrats to take a tough vote and vote “no.” “Search your heart and your conscious,” Loon said. “Be courageous.” A handful of House Democrats, including Rep. Tim Faust, DFL-Hinckley, voted with Republicans against the bill. But it wasn’t enough. Rep. Michael Nelson, DFL-Brooklyn Park, House bill author, said the legislation does not tell parents or providers how to raise children, nor does it form a union. It’s about getting right to vote, Nelson said. “This bill is about ensuring the basic rights of undervalued workers to choose for themselves if they want to collectively bargain for better wages,” Nelson said in a prepared statement. “These workers, who are predominately women, now have an opportunity to bargain for improvements in their lives and the lives of the children, seniors and people with disabilities they serve.” The unionization legislation passed the Democratic-led Senate on a 35-32 vote after a 17-hour, all-night floor session. Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley sided with Republicans in voting against the bill. Speaking after the House floor session, Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, said bill opponents were carefully monitoring the legislative debate for possible inclusion into a lawsuit. Mack felt they would have a good case.
Mack, who has a young son and is pregnant, spoke on the House floor about her family’s concerns with day care. Her heart breaks, she said, for the mothers receiving Child Care Assistance Program funding, a state subsidy. Like other Republicans, Mack believes day care providers, in attempting to escape the union, will simply refuse to accept children receiving state subsides. “They (CCAP mothers) will be rejected time after time after time,” she said. Minnesota had 351,000 wage and salary workers in unions in 2012 with another 17,000 represented by a union on their main job or covered by an employee association or contract, though not union members themselves, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Union membership is heavily skewed toward the public sector. Nationally about 36 percent of public sector employees belonged to unions, against only about 6.6 percent of workers in the private sector, according to the bureau. About 57 percent of Minnesota public sector jobs were unionized in 2012, according to unionstats.com, an Internet data resource providing private and public sector labor union membership and density estimates. Only about 8 percent of Minnesota private sector jobs were unionized, according to the site. Email T.W. Budig tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Republicans take aim at tax bill On the front lines Democrats close $627 million state budget deficit by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The DFL-controlled Legislature voted to tax-the-rich, smokers and close corporate loopholes in raising about $2 billion in new taxes in its omnibus tax bill. The Senate took its vote May 20 shortly before the Legislature adjourned until next year. The tax bill closes the $627 million state budget deficit, fuels education funding and provides tax relief for homeowners and renters. It creates a fourth-tier income tax rate at 9.85 percent – a change snagging about $1 billion – applicable to joint married filers earning more than $250,000 in taxable income, single-filers with taxable income of more than $150,000. The income tax increase embraces the top 2 percent of taxpayers. Republicans are not pleased. “Thank goodness the increase in the candy tax and snack tax went away,” Rep. Nick Zerwas, R-Elk River, said. “This bill hurts every Minnesotan.” The tax on a pack of cigarettes is increased by $1.60 under the tax bill. The increase is about more than raising money, Democrats argue. “I view it as a public health imperative,” House Tax Committee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington, said. Senate Tax Committee Rod Skoe, DFL-Clearbrook, a former smoker, said he had never voted for a cigarette tax increase before. “This is one of the hardest issues for me,” he said. But Skoe found the health argument compelling. Sen. Sean Nienow, R-Cambridge, called the tobacco tax in-

Tax and spending increases, gay marriage, unionization of child care workers and increases in the minimum wage will likely be discussed during the election campaign, Schier said.

Minnesota’s gubernatorial election of 2014 is 18 months away but some Republicans are flexing their muscles as official or potential candidates for the GOP nomination. DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has already indicated he will seek re-election. Often outspoken Sen. David Thompson, RLakeville, says he is considering a run for governor and hoped to announce his decision the first few days after the session ended May 20. No announcement had been made as of presstime. Speaking last week, Thompson said he owed it to his constituents and to “the good folks of Minnesota” to declare his intentions soon after the session would end. Thompson sounds like a candidate when he attacks Dayton’s record. “He is taking us in the wrong direction,” Thompson said. Many states are doing what Dayton is doing, increasing taxes and increasing the cost of government, Thompson said. He used the states of Illinois and California as examples. Speculating on major issues to come into focus during the 2014 campaign, Thompson said education is always an issue and should be an issue. “There is a gap between the higher performing districts and those not getting the job done for students,” Thompson said. A healthy economy and providing jobs and opportunity must also be addressed in the campaign for governor,
when the session is over,” he explained. Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, answered the question of whether he will run for governor with three words: “Thinking about it.” Sen. Julie Rosen, RFairmont, carried the Minnesota Vikings stadium legislation during the 2012 session. She has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor. “I’m trying to get through the session but it’s out there and I will do something, yes or no,” Rosen said. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, a former legislator, has also been mentioned as a possible GOP gubernatorial candidate. DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin of Eagan said the party’s internal polling shows Dayton with good marks. A KSTP poll recently showed him with a 45 percent approval rating, significantly higher than that of the Legislature. The two announced Republican candidates represent the extremes in Minnesota politics, Martin said. Martin believes Dayton is in a good position for reelection but since the election is a year and a half away, he said anything can happen and the DFL Party is not taking anything for granted. Steven Schier, political science professor at Carleton College, said the 2014 race for governor could be competitive because Dayton’s polling numbers at this time are far from secure. He said he believes Dayton is potentially beatable with much depending on the state of the Minnesota economy in the fall of 2014. Public reaction to hikes in taxes and spending likely to be agreed upon by the

by Howard Lestrud
Thompson said. Thompson said he was “shocked” at the degree DFLers are going after low income and middle income folks with more taxes. He said the governor and the DFL Party talk about targeting the rich but instead, “they are taxing everybody.” Two Republican candidates have already emerged. Wayzata businessman Scott Honour was the first to announce three weeks ago. Current Hennepin County Commissioner and former state legislator Jeff Johnson made his announcement before family and friends May 12 at the Hamel Community Hall, near his residence in Plymouth. With the Minnesota Legislature still in session, several potential candidates for governor are waiting until their lawmaking business is finished for this session. The field of candidates was narrowed several weeks ago with the announcement by three potential candidates choosing not to seek the governor’s chair. Former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, 2010 unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and U.S. Rep. John Kline, 2nd District, each has announced an intent not to run for governor in 2014. Third District U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen recently announced that he would not be seeking the governor’s chair or a seat in the U.S. Senate currently held by Al Franken. Former Speaker of the House, Rep. Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, said he is “not ruling anything out” when asked about whether he is considering a run for governor in 2014. “I’m focusing on the session right now and will start thinking about future plans

Rachel Hause said she is “flabbergasted� when people are unaware that deployments are still happening. “It’s important for communities not to forget we’re not done sending people to noncombat zones,� she said. So Hause finds comfort with other military mothers and grandmothers who are all too familiar with the reality of deployment. On Saturday, May 18, more than 100 military moms and grandmothers came together for a luncheon put on by the Farmington Yellow Ribbon Network at St. Michael’s Church. The women enjoyed a meal, pampering, bingo and prizes, but mostly it was a way to connect with people who have had similar experiences. “It’s nice getting a chance to meet all these people whose paths wouldn’t have crossed,�
Hause said. Hause’s brother served in Vietnam, and she said it was a different time because the draft meant everyone knew someone in the military. “Now it’s the 1 percent,� she said.�We need events like this to get people together because it’s not so common today.� Hause is a mom to three in the military with two sons and a daughterin-law. One son is a Marine who is now finishing up his freshman year at the University of Chicago; her other is son in the Army, and his wife served five deployments and is now in the active reserves. Hause also connects with mothers by attending a support group for Marine mothers. Marcia Van Gorden of Minneapolis helped found one of these support groups years back. After online discussions and connecting with local military mothers, the
network eventually decided to make a more official support group. Van Gorden now oversees two groups, including one that joins some outstate mothers from Wisconsin. One group has 110 members, the other 35, and both continue to grow. The support groups are designed for women “to laugh, to cry, to share. We’re sisters of the heart,� Van Gorden said, “because we have something that binds us closer than family.� Van Gorden grew up in a military family with her father in the Army National Guard. Her relatives and husband were also in the military, and her son enlisted and is now living abroad in an Owakina, Japan, Marine Corps base. “It’s difficult, especially with family. We don’t see them as much,� Van Gorden said. But she finds peace
sharing these struggles with other women to help them out. “The thing I hate the most is knowing of mothers going through this venture alone,� she said. “There are times you need to share. You could be in the grocery store and seeing cereal makes you cry. We all need someone else who knows what it was like.� Beth Frenzel of New Brighton has also started her own support group. Frenzel’s son just left about a month ago for his second deployment with the Army in Afghanistan. She said the experience of a second deployment is “unlike anything else in life. It’s a combination of extreme pride and awe of your children and fear for their safety. It’s a difficult time. “Fear is my constant companion. But it’s not consuming me this time,� she said.

She offers support and help to any mom from any branch or any rank. Sharing their experiences makes it easier, especially since most people might not know how to acknowledge a deployment if they haven’t experienced one, she said. This was the fifth annual luncheon the Farmington Yellow Ribbon Network hosted. Event chair Paulette Olson said the group plans to continue hosting the event “until no one shows up.� “I think this was the best that we had,� she said. Olson hopes to see the program continue to grow. If military mothers or grandmothers are looking for a support group, contact any Yellow Ribbon Network or Minnesota Marine Moms for more information.

Swanson was the theater director for more than 150 competitive and community productions. Twenty-one of the 25 productions he directed for the State One Act Play Festival received the highest possible award of “starred performance.” (Photo by Rick Orndorf)

BENEFITS, from 1A Districts still have the option to create a voterapproved irrevocable trust to fund the benefits owed, but that money would not be available for any other potential need, according to Cathy Erpelding, a consulting actuary with Hildi. The district’s $31 million projected liability, which covers retiree benefits like life and health insurance, is based on numerous assumptions that include estimates of employees’ ages at retirement, inflation, claim history and health insurance costs. The costs for covering health insurance is rising much faster than anticipated when the district first offered to pay retiree health insurance premiums for a decade post-employment, Superintendent Lisa Snyder said. Under state law, school district employees who retire are allowed to remain in the district’s insurance pool until they
LUNCHES, from 1A Update, other schools had been reporting the same trend. The issue was highlighted in a red-type paragraph under a red, bold, underlined headline, in capitalized letters telling parents; “We need your help!” “It will help us if you talk with your children about how wasteful it is
are Medicare-eligible. The benefit helps retirees avoid higher premiums, but raises the district’s costs at a time when insurance costs are spiraling upward. According to the actuarial report, including retirees in the same pool with the district’s younger and statistically healthier and active employees increased costs by almost $1 million between 2008 and 2010. The expense accounted for $9.1 million of the district’s accrued $17.3 million liability in 2010. “It’s assumed the older you get, the more you cost,” said State Auditor Rebecca Otto, a Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota trustee. Urdahl said the cost of allowing retirees to remain on the district’s current health plan is unpredictable and volatile. She said the district is trying to control costs by controlling claims and increasing wellness programs. Otto said the district
is obligated to honor past employee contractual benefits, and Snyder has indicated the district intends to do so. The district in 2011 changed new employee contracts from a “defined benefits” arrangement to a “defined contribution” agreement. Under the previous contracts, of which the majority of district employees are under, retirees and a spouse receive district-paid health, insurance and family dental coverage for up to 10 years until they are Medicare eligible. If they are eligible for Medicare during that time, the district would pay the cost of a supplemental coverage for the employee and spouse for the duration of the decade. Retirees also could receive payouts for unused sick days and severance. Snyder said as of January 2011 the new employees are no longer under contracts that obligate the district to cover the same kinds of retire-
ment benefits. Under the changes, new employees would annually receive a set amount – for teachers, it is $3,000 – from the district paid into their health account, and they take it with them when they go. “I don’t care if you accrue 500 sick days,” Snyder said. “You don’t get paid out for them. They’re gone when you leave. So, sick leave goes back to what they’re really intended for, and that is if you’re sick.” Retiree costs concern the board, which has been for weeks discussing benefit changes to the contract of a topearning district employee, fully vested and planning to remain in her job three more years until age 65. Barb Knudsen, director of teaching and learning, has been present and not commented during recent board meetings where School Board members expressed concern about the ongoing costs of her retirement
benefits and discussed changes to include in her renewed three-year contract and other employee contracts that could save the district money. Board members have worked to clarify her Medicare coverage would be defined as supplemental coverage among other provisions. At a recent work session, Board Member Bob Erickson also asked that a contract provision noted in a Sun Thisweek story be eliminated in Knudsen’s contract and in all new employee contracts. The provision allows the employee to “have access to all fringe benefits provided other licensed employee groups that may be in effect or come into effect” during the contract. Tony Massaros, the district’s executive director of administrative services, called the provision “ambiguous,” and Randy Pronschinske, a former Lakeville School Board candidate and local representative of the edu-
to throw food away,” the notice said. David Domack, Waste Management public relations manager, implements the company’s organics recycling program that started in four Lakeville schools this year and will be in all of them by next fall. Domack said he sees many uneaten fruits and vegetables being thrown away, and the district’s
volume of organics waste has doubled since the program was implemented this year. “About 95 percent of it is food waste, produce and food prep,” he said. Domack added that health laws ban fruit that has been handled from being donated to a charity or food shelf. Lakeville School Board Member Bob Erickson said parents are
complaining students are still hungry after eating the school lunches. “As board members, we’re receiving a lot of feedback how this impacts especially students in the secondary system,” Erickson said. “And why parents have returned to bag lunches.” Since the changes in the food program, parent Holly Ingling of Farmington said her teenagers
“come home and eat another meal.” Her children, Ahna and Nathan Wilson, said they have noticed many changes in the Farmington school food program that include smaller portions, fewer choices and higher prices. Ahna Wilson, a Farmington High School junior, said she loves salads but is forced to put croutons on it.

LUNCHES, from 13A the apples students are forced to take are being thrown away, and water cup sizes were reduced so much that many students stand by the cooler refilling the cups multiple times before sitting down. Peggy Anderberg, Farmington Schools food service director, said the district nearly tripled the amount of apples it offers at the high school, going from using four to 14 cases weekly. At the high school, Anderberg said they have sold half of what they planned, and company costs are up because produce and whole grain products are expensive. She said they are trying to develop new marketing strategies to try to build sales next year.
Prices At Lakeville schools, lunch prices will increase 5 cents next year to comply with the federal
mandates that prohibit student-paid meals from being subsidized by the federal reimbursement for free meals. Next year, elementary students will pay $2.25 for lunch, the middle school lunch price will be $2.35 and high school students will pay $2.40; adult school lunches will increase to $3.50. Even with next year’s lunch price increase, Smalley-Rader is predicting funding challenges. Fewer meals sold in Lakeville has cut federal and state reimbursements from $1.07 million last year to $795,489 now. Smalley-Rader said Lakeville’s food service account will have a $50,000 deficit next year, but they have a strong enough fund balance to cover the decline for several more years in hopes that participation levels out. “It’s projected by many people that are in support of this program that participation will

Caghy said. “The school district really wanted to maintain that, so rather than using it as an opportunity to hire someone they could pay less, they basically … wanted an experienced person who could just pick up where I left off. The district put a lot of value in the program, and wanted to make sure it at least maintained that level and grew as the student population grew.” School Board Member Judy Keliher said she started on the board the year McCaghy retired. “Everybody was wondering what would happen to the program,” Keliher said, adding that under Wigley’s watch Lakeville’s music programs “continued to soar.” “Paul gets the student body to embrace music,” she said. “He just shines through that avenue, and studies show test scores do better when students have a mix of music in their Laura Adelmann is at arrangement with school laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. schedules.” com. Wigley expanded music programs and was a popular teacher students sought out. Keliher said her son, Matt Keliher, tried guitar “just because he wanted the experience of Paul Wigley as a teacher.” Lauren Wood, 19, spent the first three hours of her day with Wigley last year as a student aide and then taking one of his classes, calling that time a great experience. “It’s hard to put into words how much he has Voted #1 Dentist by meant to me personally and the entire choir Thisweek Readers group,” she said.

increase,” Smalley-Rader said. She said she is trying to encourage parents that the school lunches are a better value than sending lunches from home and believes students will come back. She also said she plans to understand what parents want and find ways to meet those needs within the federal rules. School Board Member Michelle Volk disagreed, predicting school lunch participation will continue to drop until changes are made. “You can do all the proportion in the world you would like to,” Volk said. “But children are coming home complaining about lunch. As a parent, you want to do whatever it takes to make sure they have nutrition, that they’re not saying ‘Mom, I’m hungry.’ ”

students to achieve by encouraging them to shoot for the stars. “He kept telling us I know you guys are capable of doing this, and then we end up doing it,” Lauren Wood said. Although students and parents say he was born to teach, the job was not one Wigley had initially imagined for himself in college. While he always loved music and played in a band as a youth, he went to college to pursue medicine. “I was in pre-med for the first two years,” Wigley said. “I was going to be a doctor.” During sophomore year, he decided to take a music theory class “for fun.” “Nobody does that,” Wigley said. “I was just really interested in composing and arranging music. I found out I was doing as well as all the kids majoring in music. At that point, I switched.” Wigley’s career now spans 34 years, starting in Iowa where he also taught music. Music programs at North now include Bel Canto for women in grades 10-12; Panther Choir; the Panther Choir and Chorale, a mixed chorus for grades 10-12 that performs in four major home concerts, the South Suburban Conference Choir Festival and an extended tour in alternate years. The Now and Then Singers have performed throughout the Twin Cities at venues that include the Hollidazzle Parade. About six years ago, the group won a musical battle against college groups for an appearance at the Ordway. Under Wigley’s leadership, the Now and Then Singers also performed for then-Gov. Jesse Ventura at his private Christmas party. The Chorale group toured Italy this year, singing at the Vatican and at the Santa Maria Basilica by the Pantheon.
Wigley said leaving the district is hard and is made more difficult because he is worried about the future of the music program. Budget cuts, he said, have “drastically affected” his job and diminished music opportunities for students district-wide. Staffing for Lakeville music and arts programs were dramatically cut in 2011, forcing North to eliminate many afterschool music groups because of a lack of staffing; Wigley said he also no longer teaches piano and guitar classes. “We have pianos and guitars sitting there just completely unused,” Wigley said. “It’s such a waste. We don’t have teachers to teach it.” Despite the challenges and losses to the music program, the district is planning to fill his position. Wigley said Jamye Casperson is returning to the district to fill the position after she logged about two years teaching in Shakopee. “She’s just excellent,” Wigley said. In retirement, Wigley plans to commit further to his work judging barber shop quartets with the Barber Shop Harmony Society and is considering an offer to teach his advanced music theory class, which is planned to be eliminated with his departure from North, at a private school or online. He said he has enjoyed working with students who have included athletes and valedictorians, strugglers and actors. “All these kids were all in this choir at the same time, and there were some pretty neat things they got to accomplish together,” he said. “The kids and the parents have been great, the parents are supportive and added an enormous amount to the program. Those are the connections that will be more difficult to walk away from.” Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville South girls are True Team champs, again Larson breaks school record in 1,600 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Lakeville South retained its title as the most complete girls track and field team in the state. The Cougars won the Class AAA True Team state championship last weekend in Stillwater for the second year in a row. Going in, the girls knew it was possible to repeat as champions, but they didn’t have any idea they would win by such a large margin. Lakeville South scored more points (910) than the previous six champions and finished more than 100 points ahead of second-place Prior Lake. The True Team format favors depth, with every athlete competing able to

For the first time since the South Suburban Conference was created, the Lakeville North baseball team has won the conference title. With a doubleheader sweep 9-6 and 11-0 against Rosemount on Tuesday, Lakeville North won the South Suburban Conference officially with a 14-3 record. A few miles away, Bloomington Jefferson helped out the Panthers by beating Burnsville 4-3. “It’s been a crazy season,” head coach Tony Market said. “Luckily we’re playing well. It’s always a nice recognition of hard work. We like our conference a lot. It means a lot more than some other things. It’s one of the things on the list we wanted to accomplish.” Lakeville North’s last conference title came in 2009 when the team played in the Lake Conference. In the first game against Rosemount, Zach Creighton and Dalton Lehnen hit home runs and AJ Sayer had four hits and two RBI. Jordan Jacobson got the win on the mound. In game two, Lehnen hit another home run while notching the completegame shutout in five innings on the mound. Erik

Morgan Pieri finished second and Jenny Mosser was sixth, giving the Cougars 74.5 points in the event. Slattery was also 11th in the 100 hurdles, third in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the triple jump. Erin Kilbride, who is working her way back from injury, placed fifth in the 1,600 and second in the 3,200. Jordyn Thornton won the shot put with a seasonbest throw of 42-9.5 and placed third in the discus.

The Panther boys golf team also finished third at the 18-team Albert Lea Invitational last weekend with a 293, four strokes behind Wayzata and five behind Lakeville South. Bobby Thomas earned co-medalist honors with Lakeville South’s Justin Doeden, shooting a 68. Bobby’s brother Freddy

Bobby Thomas also tied for medalist honors at the third conference meet at Brackett’s Crossing in Lakeville on May 14. Lakeville North will begin play in the Section 1AAA tournament on May 30 at Bellwood Oaks in Hastings. Lakeville North is the highest ranked team by the Minnesota Golf Association in the section, coming in at No. 3. There are only two other teams ranked in the top 50: No. 23 Owatonna and No. 28 Rochester Century.

Cougar golfers break school record at Albert Lea Boys team second in South Suburban Conference by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville South boys golf team is on a run unlike any other team in school history. The Cougars won three-straight tournaments earlier this month and finished second in the South Suburban Conference in a narrow race with Lakeville North this week. Perhaps the most impressive single tournament victory was winning the 18-team Albert Lea Invitational last weekend featuring many of the top teams in the state at Wedgewood Cove Golf Course. The boys shot a new school record of 288, which was even par, edging out Wayzata, ranked No. 1 in the state prior to the event, by one stroke. “To beat a high caliber team like Wayzata is pretty special,” head coach Bill Schommer said. Justin Doeden earned his third-straight medal shooting a 68 in Albert Lea and tying with Lakeville North’s Bobby Thomas. “He is doing most everything well and his confidence is high, which is
crucial to playing great golf,” Schommer said. Doeden was the medalist at the Farmington tournament at Southern Hills with a 69 on May 7 and at the third conference tournament on May 14 at Brackett’s Crossing with a 72. He said his biggest improvements have been mentally. “Being able to calm my nerves and focusing on the shot at hand – not getting too far ahead of myself,” Doeden said. “Everyone’s going to make bogeys, it’s the way you respond to those bad holes that makes you a good player ... I have learned to compose my attitude out on the course. My swing has found a smooth tempo that I can rely on to be more aggressive towards pins.” He’s developed a bit of a rivalry with Lakeville North’s Bobby Thomas, who tied with him twice already this season. Bobby Thomas is ranked No. 1 in the state with Doeden at No. 2. “We both have that will to succeed but in return there can only be one winner,” Doeden said. “Right now we’re both averaging
within a half a shot from each other and with us being in different sections, hopefully we can meet up in the state tournament and see who shines the brightest on the big stage.” At Albert Lea, Mack Farley (70) came in fourth, Max Redetzke (73) was eighth. Phil Thompson (77), Jordan Nelson (80) and Noah Rasinski (84) also helped secure the victory. Farley and Redetzke have also earned medalist honors this season, giving the Cougars five individual medalists. The Cougars finished second at the final South Suburban Conference meet on Tuesday at Inver Wood Golf Course, five strokes behind Lakeville North. Lakeville South won the first conference tournament at Creeks Bend Golf Course in Prior Lake on April 30, finished third at Minnesota Valley Country Club on May 6, and won the third at Brackett’s Crossing in Lakeville on May 14. However, the team wasn’t at full strength at Minnesota Valley with See GOLF, 16A

With the No. 5 seed, Lakeville South moved on to the next round by defeating No. 4 Burnsville 7-6 on Tuesday in Bloomington. The Cougars will play No. 9 seed Park of Cottage Grove, which upset top-seeded Lakeville North on Tuesday, in the next round at 6 p.m. Friday at Dred Scott Field No. 6 in Bloomington. A loss would send the Cougars to an 8 p.m. game Friday against the winner between Lakeville North and Burnsville in the losers’ bracket. With a win, the Cougars would play either Bloomington Jefferson or Rosemount at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Dred Scott Field No. 6. (Photo by Rick Orndorf)
Cougar tennis falls in team section semifinals Furthest South has ever advanced by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville South boys tennis team played in the Section 1AA semifinals Tuesday for the first time in school history. It’s the furthest any Lakeville team has advanced in recent years. The Cougars were given a first-round bye and defeated Hastings in the quarterfinals 4-3 to get there. In the semifinals, Lakeville South ran into Roches-
ter Century and lost 5-2 in Rochester. Chase Roseth won at No. 1 singles, improving to 15-3 on the season. Fernan Zimmermann got the other victory at No. 2 singles. On May 16 against Hastings, Lakeville South’s top three singles players, Chase Roseth, Zimmermann and Cash Rodamaker, won in straight sets, losing a total of five games between them. Hastings swept the doubles matches. With the score tied 3-3, Lakeville South’s season was in the hands of seventh-grader Trevor Tatge
at No. 4 singles. He lost the first set 6-3 and fell behind 1-0 in the second. “Tatge battled back and outworked his much older opponent, keeping the ball deep and winning from the baseline,” head coach Doug Roseth said. Tatge won the second set 6-3 but found himself down again 2-0 in the third before winning the next five games. He eventually won the third set 6-3. “I was never so proud of a player like I was with Trevor, who did whatever See TENNIS, 16A

Panthers third at state True Team As a wild card entry, Lakeville North defeats six other section champs by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Lakeville North girls track and field team made the most of its opportunity last weekend at the Class AAA state True Team meet in Stillwater. The girls placed third with 736.5 points beating Mounds View by 3.5 points and six other teams that won their True Team section titles. The Lakeville North girls track and field team finished second at the Section 1AAA meet earlier this month, but was awarded the wild card
spot after winning a mythical meet between the other seven second-place teams. Taylor Perkins netted the Panthers several points finishing second in the 1600-meter run and she was the True Team champion in the 3200 running the race in 11 minutes, 24.92 seconds, nearly 10 seconds ahead of everyone else. Alexa Trakalo was all over the place. She took second in the 400, seventh in the 100 and third in the 200. In between she had the secondbest long jump.
Michaela Preachuck was the runner-up in the 100-meter hurdles, 0.01 second behind the winner. Katie Dillie had one of the highest jumps tying for second with Lakeville South’s Morgan Pieri. Other results include: • The 4x400 relay was fourth, 4x200 fifth, 4x100 sixth and 4x400 eighth, • Lindsey Smits bounced to sixth in the 100 hurdles, seventh in the triple jump and fifth in the 300 hurdles. • Emily Okins dashed to fifth in the 100, Eavan Mc-

6 Eastview. Earning the No. 1 seed in the Section 3AAA playoffs means the Panthers won’t play until Monday. Lakeville North will play the winner of Friday’s game between No. 8 Apple Valley and No. 9 Prior Lake at 7 p.m. at Alimagnet Park on Monday. “It gives us a chance to rest and practice, but it might be tough for us,” Market said. “We’re used to playing. It will be nice, though. We’ve only had one on-field practice.” Practice isn’t as fun as playing. “Rest is not what we want at this point,” Lehnen said. “We want to keep playing and stay hot.” Even though Lakeville North will get a high seed in the Section 3AAA playoffs, the players know nothing is a given. “Winning the conference is sort of the kiss of

death,” Market said with a laugh. In 2009 when the Panthers won the conference, the team was upset by a sub-.500 Rosemount early in the tournament. They know the top seed hasn’t always moved on. “All the teams are capable of knocking each other off,” Market said. In 2006, Apple Valley finished 9-8 and went on to win Section 6AAA and the state title. In 2008, Rosemount entered the Section 3AAA tournament with a 9-10 record and went on to burn through Section 3AAA all they way to state. Eagan was the surprise team in 2009. The Wildcats entered Section 3AAA with an 11-9 record and won. In 2010 and 2011, Burnsville bucked the trend winning the Section 3AAA tournament and winning it all in 2011. The Blaze was the high seed again in 2012, but no one
told Eastview, which went on to win the section title and the state title. It’s a tough crop again this year, too. Teams from the current Section 3AAA configuration have played in the state final four times since 2006. Burnsville is perhaps the biggest worry for the Panthers. The Blaze swept Lakeville North earlier this season 8-3 and 13-1. “I think we had six hits and six errors in that first game,” Market said. “That second game was the worst loss I’ve ever been a part of. We have to play better defense if we’re going to see them again.” The players welcome it. “I’d like to play Burnsville again,” Lehnen said. “They’re a really good team, but we didn’t play our best. If we gave them our best shot, I think we can win.”
No. 7 Chanhassen and No. 6 Eden Prairie appear to be the team’s toughest competition at the Section 2AAA tournament, which is scheduled to begin on June 3 at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan. Lakeville South is ranked No. 4 in the state by the Minnesota Golf Association.
But, it’s a challenging section overall with No. 21 Bloomington Jefferson, No. 40 New Prague, No. 50 Prior Lake, No. 30 Shakopee, and No. 48 Waconia also bringing their clubs to Jordan.

Local author’s first love: His hometown ‘Growing Up on the Mississippi’ pays homage to small-town life by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Kent Stever describes his first book as a “joyous autobiography.� “Growing Up on the Mississippi,� set for release in June, brings together stories from Stever’s youth in the late 1940s and early 1950s in Winona, offering readers a Kent Stever window into a simpler era filled with paper routes, traveling circuses and soap opera-like pro wrestling events. “I really had a great experience growing up in Winona,� said Stever, a retired educator who lives near Lake Marion in Lakeville. “It was a different time – we had parents who lived through the Depression, parents who just came out of World War II. You had
a sense of independence, you had opportunity, and there was purpose.� Several of the stories in “Growing Up on the Mississippi� first appeared in the Winona Post newspaper; others have appeared in Minnesota Moments magazine, and one appeared in book form in the Chicken Soup for the Soul anthology series. Stever spent 35 years in the Bloomington school district – first as a math teacher, then as a high school principal and later as director of research and evaluation – before retiring 13 years ago. He continues to substitute teach in the Lakeville school district. He says he first caught the writing bug while sitting through endless administrative meetings during his years as a school principal. “There was so much discussion, so much tedium, that I started writing letters to my kids during
