Attention landlords, leasers or anyone else who isoffering space for rent or considering doing so in thenear future.

The Eagan Police Department is hosting Crime FreeRental Housing Training Wednesday, May 11 at theEagan Fire Safety Center. The training provides infor-mation and advice on safety and proper conduct withlandlord-tenant relationships.

“Any time someone rents out part of their home orsubleases, it makes them an instant landlord. I don’tknow if people necessarily understand, but there are alot of laws and regulations that go along with that.” saidDanielle Anselment, police and public safety officer forthe Eagan Police Department.

Anselment said this year’s training is similar to theCrime Free Multi-Housing program, a program devel-oped by Minnesota Crime Prevention Association. Thedifference with this year’s training is that it has expand-ed its aim beyond multiple-housing properties.

“The Multi-Housing Program is designed to buildrelationships between the police department and multi-housing management and staff to improve the quality oflife and reduce criminal activity and calls for service,”Anselment said. “[This year] we’ve broadened out thetopics so [the training] is applicable to multi-housingmanagers and single family managers.”

Anselment said many agencies host multi-housingtrainings throughout the year. Eagan teams up withBurnsville, Apple Valley, Rosemount and Savage to hostjust one training event per year. Among the crime pre-vention initiatives at this year’s training are two partic-ular types of programs: Crime Prevention ThroughEnvironmental Design and Terrorism Awareness and

Faced with local, federalcharges after implyingbomb threatBY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM • SUN NEWSPAPERS

A Burnsville man charged with threat-ening the safety of an Amtrak train inMontana in February has pleaded guiltyto one of several charges against him.

Hussein Abdi Hassan, 24, pleadedguilty April 26 to a federal charge of falseinformation. He will be sentenced Aug.22, and could face up to five years inprison, a $250,000 fine and three years ofsupervised release stemming from thefederal charge. Hassan still faces twocharges of felony criminal endangermentand one count of misdemeanor disorder-ly conduct filed in Glacier CountyDistrict Court.

According to an affidavit filed Feb. 15in Montana’s Ninth Judicial DistrictCourt, Hassan, who smelled of alcohol,was removed from the Amtrak train, andargued with two deputies from theGlacier County Sheriff ’s Office. During

the course of conversation, Hassan askedwhere his bag was. When one of thedeputies replied that he had not left thetrain with one, Hassan laughed and said,“You did not find my bag? No one will sur-vive on that train.” Hassan then told thedeputies the bag had something “verydangerous in it, indicated that it was abomb.”

The 140-passenger train was thenmoved to an empty field. Passengersbraved blowing snow and 90 mph windsover a 200-yard crossing over an icy laketo board busses bound for a local middleschool. Three passengers were injuredgetting to the busses, and two others wereunable to get insulin due to the trainbeing locked down, the affidavit concluded.

A bomb squad from Malmstrom AirForce Base searched the train. No bombor explosive devices were found, and thepassengers were returned to the train by5 a.m., the complaint concluded.

Each Glacier County criminal endan-germent charge carries with it up to 10years in a Montana prison and up to$50,000 in fines.

“Kathy is full-time in the business,and she actually is the one who is incharge of most of the operation, so mostof the credit to our success is attributedto her,” Mike said. “I’m basically here tomake sure that the business is a successthrough my outside sales and communi-ty involvement.”

That community involvementincludes being an ambassador for boththe Apple Valley and LakevilleChambers of Commerce. Mike wasvoted Volunteer of the Year for theApple Valley Chamber of Commerce,and has now become the chairman ofthe board.

Mike is also involved with theLakeville Rotary Club, and serves as thechair of the marketing committee forthe Taste of Lakeville, the rotary’s annu-al fundraiser.

Growth and expansionNeither Kathy nor Mike had ever

owned a business before, so theMaguires decided to get connected witha franchise when they opened their busi-ness eight years ago. After muchresearch, they discovered Kwik Kopy, aprinting company headquartered inHouston with each store individuallyowned and operated.

Mike said they investigated approxi-mately 12 franchises, but chose KwikKopy because it was a family-ownedfranchisor and was actively involved ineach franchise. The couple regularlygoes to Houston for training, confer-ences and trade shows.

“The whole package made it veryattractive for us as first-time businessowners, and it’s the best decision we’veever made,” Mike said. “They’re a fran-chise that allows you to run the busi-ness the way you want it to be runbased on our market.”

The Minnesota store started as aretail operation with printing as well asa packaging and shipping operation.They also use a digital processing sys-tem to offer cost-effective results.

“Technology gave us a definiteadvantage right off the bat eight yearsago,” Mike said. “We were very forward-thinking in going completely digitalvery early on in our marketplace. Beingtotally digital is more cost-effective withbeing able to purchase quality productscheaper than you could out of press.”

Due to their success, Kwik Kopy out-grew their Lakeville location andmoved to a new Apple Valley locationMarch 28.

“We were well received in Lakevilleand grew our business there,” Mikesaid. “We went from 1,400 square feet to

3,000 square feet. With that we hiredanother employee and added moreprinting machines and printing capabil-ities, which we couldn’t do beforebecause we were space-challenged.”

“We were in a very small location inLakeville, and we had been growing outof our space for several years,” Kathysaid. “I think our small location gave usthe perception that we weren’t as big andcapable of the things we could possiblydo for people. We’re really excited aboutbeing in Apple Valley and being able todo service there, but we don’t want tolose our Lakeville customers, and we’restill doing everything we can to take careof them.”

Kwik Kopy will no longer packageship, a decision that was made to betterservice business-to-business customers.Although Kwik Kopy will still do wed-ding invitations, graduation announce-ments and other smaller-scale projects,their main customers are commercialaccounts.

But the Maguires still believe thatevery project is important, big or small.

“Customer service was very perva-sive to our whole corporate mentality,and it was very well-received,” Mikesaid. “As active owners in the business,we can oversee and make sure that everycustomer is dealt with individually.”

“Everything we do is from the heart,”

Kathy said. “We care deeply about eachjob, and we care deeply about all of ourcustomers. We put quality and customerservice into every single job that comesin and goes out of the store.”

As for balancing work and personallife with Mike flying on the weekends,Kathy said it’s something they’ve justlearned to do.

“Time management is somethingthat, when you’re forced to do it, it’s easyto do,” Kathy said. “It seems like whenyou have a lot on your hands, it’s harderto balance that than when you have a lit-tle time.”

“We’re fortunate enough to be able toprovide employment to people becausewe are growing, and we’re excited aboutour growth,” Mike said. “We can’t waitto help businesses grow with us.”

Making my case for the verbal asteriskBY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM SUN NEWSPAPERS

There are certain clichés inculture that simply beg for anasterisk: “Love means neverhaving to say you are sorry,”“Shoot for the moon and land inthe stars,” and my own person-al favorite, “Everyone is spe-cial.”

More accurately, love meanshaving to say you are sorry alot, landing in the stars stillkills you and if everyone is spe-cial, no one is special.

It has gotten to the pointwhere I’ve actually started tofollow up verbal statementswith “asterisk” when there arethings that I know need to besaid, but are better left unspo-ken. For example, when mydaughter is being a typical two-year-old (i.e. adorable and legal-ly insane), I’ll say “I just love

this phase, asterisk.” In thiscase, the unspoken content of“asterisk” is “I just love a phasewhen your whims andtantrums shift with the breeze,how you can wailand moan about notgetting oatmeal onlyto finally say, whenyou get oatmeal,that you no longerwant it.”

In a culturewhere even the most banalmedical commercials havetheir own verbal asterisks onthem (“Talk to your doctortoday. Certain side effects havebeen reported with [fill in theblank], including nausea, dizzi-ness upon standing, and spon-taneous combustion”), I thinkwe could all use the genericutility of this statement endingfootnote. Here are some moreexamples of what I mean:

• “I’m fine today, asterisk.”* “If by ‘fine,’ you mean

‘stressed, covered in baby spit-up and wondering how I amever going to put out a newspa-

per thisweek,’ thenyou areb a n g - o h ,right on,my man!”

• “Nom a t t e r

what, I will always love you,asterisk.”

* “Certain exclusions andpenalties do apply. Read all fineprint before getting a giant tat-too on your face, wrecking mycar, burning down the house,dating a gang member, gettingpregnant in high school, doingdrugs or anything else whichwould require me to say ‘Iraised you better than that!’Note that ‘love’ does not neces-

sarily imply ‘like,’ and may alsoentail several months of notspeaking to you.”

• “It’s not a big deal, aster-isk.”

* “Having a car means hav-ing the occasional need for muf-fler replacement within a weekafter getting a complete front-end brake job. This is one of thedownfalls of a society, whichfoolishly placed all of its eggsin the non-public transporta-tion basket 50 years ago whilebuilding ever-further suburbs,and then screams in agonyevery time gas prices go up.When I say it is not a big deal, Iam really saying that I will notbe revealing the depths of mygrand frustration at seeing halfof my month’s pay go into a carthat has a Kelly Blue Bookvalue of under $400.”

I think I may be on to some-thing. Asterisk.

JOSEPHPALMERSHEIMDakota County Managing Editor

Legislator:balance thebudget fairlyTo the editor:

As a public school employee,I am very concerned about theeducation proposals put forth bythe GOP Legislation. They plan

to balance the budget by takingfunds from our kids with specialneeds, kids of color and kidswho live in poverty. This willcause our community to contin-ue to raise property taxes tofund a basic level of education.

It is time for the wealthiestMinnesotans to pay their fairshare to protect our state fromlosing the high quality of life

that makes this such a greatplace to live and raise children.

I am also very disappointedto see the Republican passWisconsin-type attacks onunions and our basic civil rightto collectively bargain. Publicemployees provide a valuableservice and work hard to givestudents the best education inthe nation. It is shameful that

Republicans are using thisbudget crisis to blame publicemployees and take away ourvoice in the workplace.

The legislation should bal-ance the budget fairly, and stopthe attacks on people who serveour students, community andstate.

Val BrottRosemount

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Shared sacrifice?To the editor:

Congressman John Klineheld a town hall meeting forabout 40 people in Red WingApril 27 to explain theRepublican budget plan.

He brought charts andgraphs to show the growth inthe cost of Medicare and the

national debt and how the PaulRyan/Republican budget wouldfix the country’s deficit prob-lem. The point of theCongressman’s commentsseemed to be that so-called“entitlement” programs, likeMedicare, would have to be dec-imated as part of the “sharedsacrifice” he and theRepublicans espouse.

I fail to see the “shared” partof a sacrifice that cutsMedicare benefits for seniors tooffset tax cuts for the wealthiestcitizens. We can’t considerhigher taxes on high earners orcorporations. It seems all thesharing must be done by chil-dren (education), the poor(Medicaid) and the elderly(Medicare) while those most

able to provide for themselvesmust be coddled and protectedwith ever lower tax rates.

A counterpoint column inthe Star Tribune April 27,“Making the case for progres-sive taxation,” neatly countersthe argument for lower taxes onhigh earners. I recommend it. It

TO NEXT PAGE


is a point of view the Ryans and Klinesshould consider.

The Ryan budget, adopted by the U.S.House, would make Medicare a voucherprogram. When seniors become eligiblefor Medicare, instead of being enrolledin a health care plan, they will get a“voucher” to purchase insurance in themarket place. Not my idea of “sharedsacrifice.”

For 15 years now, Mary Jo Koski hasgreeted her customers with care.

It’s the reason 49-year-old storeownerand manager believes her small retailstore, All the Best Gift Shop in Eagan, isable to thrive despite a down economyand the competitive prices that big retailstores can provide. Nestled on the north-east corner of Diffley Road and PilotKnob Road, the quaint, little boutiqueoffers a wide assortment of decorativeitems and a warm embrace.

“Part of what we hope to do here that

perhaps the big stores can’t do is reallygive that personal attention to our cus-tomers,” Koski said. “In turn, we havesome very loyal customers that supportus and shop with us.

“Once you see her, there’s just awarmth that when you walk into thestore, people are drawn to it,” said EileenMassie, a longtime shopper.

Massie said she had shopped at All theBest since its inception. Three years ago,her children graduated high school, andshe felt the need for some part-timework.

“My kids had left for college, I beganhaving that empty nest feeling and I feltthe need for a little work. I thought thiswould be a fun place to work, a veryhappy place,” said Massie, who laterbecame be hired by Koski. “It’s just beena great fit for me.”

Now a floor manager at All the Best,Massie had nothing but praise for Koski.She said she is not only a savvy business-woman, but she’s a very caring individ-ual who has done some special things forseveral of her customers. One of these

Mary Koski opened All The Best Gift Shop in Eagan nearly 15 years ago. She believes that a caringattitude has been one of the keys to the business’s success. (Photo by Joseph Palmersheim • SunNewspapers)

occasions came 10 years ago, whenMassie had to get surgery on her ankle.

“I was on crutches for a long time andcouldn’t drive,” she said. “Mary Jo puttogether a gift basket for me, withlotions, and a lot of girly things.”

A dedicated customer, Massie had alight chuckle as she mentioned the cardthat went with her basekt, “It said‘Hurry and get well, because business isdown and we need you back.’”

Massie said Koski also has donatedbaskets to several good causes, such aselementary schools and medicalfundraisers.

“People don’t realize the amount ofbaskets she creates and donates,”Massie said. “She gets inundated withrequests and she’s so kind that, evenwhen [business is] down, she’s puttingtogether so many of these baskets togive out.”

Koski explained that donations areabout giving back to the community.One such benefit came after an unfor-tunate incident when a regular cus-tomer of her’s husband was murdered.Saddened by the death, Koski donatedto the benefit that was held for her cus-tomer and her children.

Koski also exhibits her givingnature with her employees. Massiesaid Koski treats her employees verywell and that All the Best is like aclose-knit family.

One of the store’s employees,Sharon Bjordahl, had gone throughbreast cancer. Koski said that when shewas in the hospital, Bjordahl did notwant any visitors. Koski found anotherway to show Bjordahl that she and herco-workers were thinking of her.

“I came up with this idea of gettingthese big, colorful sunflowers and put-ting pictures of our faces in the centerand took them to the hospital and hadthem delivered to her room,” Koskirecalled.

“The card [with the flowers] said‘We’re here with you in spirit eventhough you didn’t want any visitors,’”Bjordahl said. “That’s what’s very niceabout the store and with the co-work-ers there; it really made me feel welland made my hospital experience a lotbetter.”

Following her recovery, the bouquetwas brought over to the store, wherethe sunflower creation has been on dis-play ever since.

“It was so cute, we had to bring it tothe store,” Bjordahl said. “Lots of peo-ple have commented on it.”

Koski’s created her business in anatural evolution. She earned a degreein fashion merchandising fromLowthian College in Minneapolis, then

worked for a corporate buying officefor several years.

She began All the Best as a gift-ordering business for corporateclients. The business was at the samestrip mall as her current store, only itwas a few doors down and more of anoffice than a store. Gift basket samplesneeded to be displayed, so Koski creat-ed some office space for a display area,and her business began to evolve intothe retail store it is today. The businessbecame a retail store at its former loca-tion 15 years ago.

“We had a small office space, neededlarger office space [and] acquired addi-tional space,” Koski said. “Once we gotto a point where we wanted to expandour retail operation, that’s when this[place] opened up, and we’ve been herefor 11 years now.”

Koski is married with one daughter.She said her home is in close proximi-ty to her store and that the two areclose by design, so that she can be withher family but swoop over to her storeat any time for any reason.

Spending up to 50-60 hours per weekwith her store, Koski sees All the Bestas an extension of her family.

“I refer to it as my second child,”she said.

Koski acknowledges that her storehas had its obstacles: the strugglingeconomy, the changing demographics,the competition from big stores; andalso the store’s location. There are ahandful of vacant spaces at the stripmall where All the Best is located.Koski said many of the customers thatwent to the businesses that formerlyoccupied these vacancies would comeand shop at her store as well.

However, despite all these chal-lenges, Koski’s store has persevered.

“One of the reasons we are able tocontinue at this point is due to the factthat we try to give people that extratouch,” Koski said. “[For example], wehave a personalized gift wrapping serv-ice which we do for no extra charge.So, in a sense, we’re the store that if alady is meeting a friend for coffee orlunch, and it’s a birthday celebrationand she’s on her way. She knows shecan stop by, pick something up andwe’ll wrap it for her and off she goes.”

“One of my philosophies that I’vehad is, the bottom line is, we want tomake you look good,” she said. “Wewant to have it be so that when yougive someone a gift they go ‘wow, thisis really cool.’ Whether it’s the presen-tation of it or the uniqueness…Sothat’s what’s been my mantra, so tospeak.”

Local Eagle Scout organizes community clean-upKevin Treb works withFriends of theMinnesota Valley toremove organic matterfrom storm drainsBY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS

When Burnsville resident and AppleValley High School freshman KevinTreb noticed dead fish and green slimeon his favorite fishing spot inBurnsville, he saw beyond the merelygross.

He saw an opportunity for a clean-upproject.

“I like to go fishing, and Wood Pond isone of the places I like to fish,” Kevinsaid. “I needed to come up with an ideafor my Eagle Scout project, so I thoughtthat would be a good thing. I saw deadfish and this ugly green scum when Iwould go there and thought it was aproblem – one that I could fix.”

Kevin contacted the city ofBurnsville and became connected with

the Friends of the Minnesota Valley, oneof three nongovernmental organiza-tions working to clean up the MinnesotaRiver. He led a recent Community Clean-Up for Water Quality project to collectleaf litter and other organic debris atWood Pond. The 37 volunteers gatheredat the pond Sunday, April 3, to rake,shovel, and sweep the streets and sur-rounding areas, filling approximately 50large compostable bags with debris.

“Kevin organized it himself, sent outthe brochure, got the kids organized,and mapped out the area that theycleaned up,” said Friends of theMinnesota Valley Executive DirectorLori Nelson. “It was pretty cool.”

“It definitely helps, it’s easy to do, andit’s pretty fun to do,” Kevin said. “It’s agood group activity, and it helps thewater quality.”

He is not the first one to understandthe importance of cleaning up organicmatter around bodies of water.

The Community Clean-Ups for WaterQuality were started in 2003 by Friendsof the Minnesota Valley, and won a 2009Governor’s Award for Excellence in

Pollution Prevention.“We have citizens go out to the com-

munity and collect organic debris likeleaf litter, sediments, dirt, twigs,branches and other gunk that getsground up and collects in storm sewergrates throughout the winter,” Nelsonsaid. “We try to do it after the snowmelts and before the spring rains washit into the storm sewer system and intothe local water bodies.”

Nelson said that time typically fallsbetween March 15 and April 15. Theyalso do it again in the fall, ranging frommid-October to the first week inNovember.

“We have a great street sweeping pro-gram here in Burnsville but with somany miles of streets, it is hard to get toevery street before spring rains washsome of the material down the stormdrain,” said Burnsville NaturalResources Technician Caleb Ashling.“That’s where community leaf clean-ups can fit in. They are a great educa-tional tool and a good way to get our res-idents involved in a positive, proactiveway.”

The organic matter is then compostedat home or taken to the local city com-post site.

Nelson said that the area of primaryconcern is for the communities alongthe Minnesota River, but there are manyother local lakes and streams that peoplecare about. The organization also focus-es more on organic matter than trashclean up.

“Organic matter is what makes phos-phorous and nitrogen as it decays,” saidWatershed Initiative Coordinator ScottSparlin. “As it decays and ends up in thesurface water, it makes the water fertileand that water grows algae. When thealgae dies, it takes oxygen from the bodyof water and causes fish kill, greenslime and all kinds of stuff.”

Throughout the past eight years,Friends of the Minnesota Valley and itspartners have hosted 121 clean-ups, result-ing in the removal of about 13,375 poundsof phosphorus, equal to over 13 millionpounds of harmful aquatic growth, and47,000 pounds of trash from the MinnesotaRiver and its watershed. Approximately4,460 citizens have volunteered for the pro-gram.

“It’s a pretty extensive program,”Nelson said. “We work with cities, citi-zen volunteers, school groups, churchgroups and other civic organizations.”

Because wastewater and storm sewersystems are separated, the water fromstorm drains does not go to a sewagetreatment facility, but instead goesdirectly to the wild. In some instances,water under areas of new constructiongoes to a holding pond first to help settle

the heavier sediments, but eventuallydrains into surface water.

New communities are now requiredto have holding ponds, but a majority ofthe cities near the Minnesota River weregrandfathered in so they do not havethese new water treatment systems.Nelson said those are the areas that theprogram focuses on the most.

Local residents who are interested inmaking a difference in water quality arealso turning to storm drain stenciling toget their message across. Using stencils,volunteers spray paint “Dump No Waste,Drains to Lake” next to city stormdrains, and because it’s city-approved,it’s not considered vandalism.

The idea is to send a message to peo-ple who live in the area as to where thewater running off their property isheaded and why it’s important to prac-tice safe water quality. The city providesthe stencils, paint and other necessaryequipment.

“People don’t always realize that eventhough they don’t live next to bodies ofwater, the runoff still goes into bodies ofwater,” Ashling said. “The water fromthe sewer does not go to a water treat-ment facility – it goes to the lakes andstreams instead. That’s why it’s impor-tant for people to be aware of whatthey’re putting into them.”

Apple Valley planningfor a sustainable futureBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Cedar Avenue may be just a road tosome, but to others, it is a highway to thefuture.

Apple Valley city officials recentlymet with members of the Apple ValleyPlanning Commission hosted membersof the American Institute of ArchitectsThursday, April 14, for the primary pur-poses of touring the corridor and dis-cussing the city’s participation in AIA’sSustainable Design Assessment Teamprogram.

In a memorandum of understandingprovided by city officials, the goal of thesustainable design program is to assistcommunities in creating sustainablerelationships specifically with cultural,economic and environmental systems.

Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland said that the city could be work-ing with “architects from across thecountry who will help us to create a mas-ter plan for an even more vibrant corri-dor.” Hamann-Roland went on to explainwhy this long-term goal is important tothe city of Apple Valley and its resi-dents.

“The Cedar corridor runs throughheart of our community, and the Cedarcorridor is the first corridor to be select-ed to have bus rapid transit,” the mayorsaid. “We believe that bus rapid transitwill leverage economic development forthe community.”

She said the intention of the focus onthe corridor and BRT is to make theCedar corridor stronger in terms of eco-nomic development opportunities andjobs.

“We have the opportunity to havenational experts facilitating a plan thatwill produce best practices for our com-munity and the region,” Hamann-Roland explained.

Because the city is only in the infantstages, city officials must perform muchof the work and planning.

“In the next 18 months, the city isgoing through this planning process,because by the end of 2012, we’ll have anoperational bus rapid transit system onCedar Avenue,” said CommunityDevelopment Director Bruce Nordquist.“What we know about this from watch-ing other transit systems implementedaround the country is that this one isunique because it’s bus rapid transit.It’s not light rail.”

Addressing how the city and AIA willaccomplish its goals and what to expectwhen completed, Nordquist expoundedon the potential social, economic andenvironmental benefits.

“It provides transportation foremployees. It gives them new choicesother than driving on the congestedCedar Avenue,” Nordquist said. “Andthat means both coming to and for thosethat continue to leave to work elsewherein the region. But more than that, it cre-ates business opportunity. When youincrease the density of developmentalong the corridor, you also increase thehard surface. And so there are ways tomanage storm water and ways to ensurethat we’re actually improving and notimpacting the environment.”

No further official action will betaken until July, when members of AIAwill return to Apple Valley, at whichtime a stakeholders meeting will con-vene and the team will develop a design.Hamann-Roland added that many com-munity members and groups, such asbusiness owners and city residents, aswell as officials from District 196, theMinnesota Zoo, and the MinnesotaValley Transit Authority would havethe opportunity to provide input on theproject.

Bus ridership reaches record levels as gas prices climb Minnesota Valley TransitAuthority reportshighest first quarternumbers on recordBY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Suburban residents are apparentlythinking twice before making the tripdowntown by car.

High gas prices are one of the factorsleading to the highest first quarter rider-ship ever recorded at the MinnesotaValley Transit Authority, the publictransportation provider for residentsand businesses of Apple Valley,Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount andSavage. From January until March 31,more than 631,000 rides were reported,an increase of 6.4 percent from the sameperiod in 2010 and a 1.2 percent increasefrom the same period during its previ-ous record in 2008.

“You’re probably spending a gallon ortwo of gas going to Minneapolis and thesame for St. Paul, and then a gallon ortwo coming back,” said MinnesotaValley Transit Authority Board Chairand Dakota County Commissioner WillBranning. “If you’re spending $4 or $5 agallon, that could range anywhere from$8-$16 a day to work downtown in addi-tion to parking. You can make the sameround-trip for $5 on a bus.”

Express ridership to downtownMinneapolis and St. Paul aren’t the onlyroutes that have increased usage.Regular weekday local route ridership isup 11.2 percent compared to last year’sfirst quarter.

Minnesota Valley Transit AuthorityExecutive Director Beverley Millernoted that increased gas prices are con-tributing to the ridership growth.

“We know that when gas reaches$3.50-$4 per gallon, people start to look atalternatives to driving alone to get towork, and they are receptive to tryingtransit,” Miller said. “Once we get themon the bus, folks see how convenient it isand many become regular riders.”

Riding the bus one-way costs $2.50.The transit station offers monthly tick-ets, and several companies downtownoffer discounted monthly tickets toencourage public transportation, there-by saving parking spaces downtown.

“Riding the bus is more economical,and there’s less worry because you don’thave to drive on the road,” Branningsaid. “Most buses use the shoulder, soit’s a fixed time to get to Minneapolis or

St. Paul from the Minnesota ValleyTransit Services. It’s saving time, whichis money in the pocket for the riders; it’sless worrisome and less stress.”

Branning added that many bus riderssleep, work, or read the newspaper onthe bus.

“It’s a very nice replacement for theautomobile,” he said.

The Minnesota Valley TransitAuthority is working on a system thatwill provide connections and services toriders if they need to suddenly get homefor an emergency. But because of the ris-ing gas prices, the transit authority hasto be cautious about its own budget.Branning said that they will not beadding emergency services or addition-al buses at this time and will concen-trate on living within the budget thatwas set for 2011. Branning said that byliving within its means, the MVTA ishoping to recover its reserve from a lowpoint of 9 percent up to 25 percent.

“We try to be on time 100 percent ofthe time, and we’re trying to have as fre-quent services as we possibly can withinthe dollars,” Branning said.

As for raising ticket prices, Branningsaid that’s up to the region.

“If the region makes the determina-tion to increases prices, then we followbecause they are our regionalproviders,” Branning said.

Transit systems across the countryare reporting ridership increases due tothe high gas prices, according to theAmerican Public TransportationAssociation. On average, riders can save$10,116 annually and $843 per month,according the association’s TransitSavings Report. These savings are basedon the April 13 average national gasprice, $3.81 per gallon, as reported byAmerican Automobile Association, andthe national unreserved monthly park-ing rate. This is the largest savings innearly three years.

“I highly encourage people to ride thebus,” Branning said. “It causes less traf-fic on the roads and it allows the buses tocontinue to provide services for our con-stituents. We’re working hard on theMinnesota Valley Transit Services toprovide convenient and timely servicesfor all of our riders.”

District 191 budgetuncertainties lead to more than 100 layoff noticesBY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS

As school districts across the statewatch and wait to see what the legisla-ture does regarding education funding,the fate of more than 20 percent ofDistrict 191’s teaching staff hangs in thebalance.

The staff members were given layoffnotices the week of April 6. According toa first draft of the district 2011-12 budg-et, more than 100 full-time equivalentand certified personnel staff may nothave jobs in the 2011-12 school year. Thebudget is based on assumptions becausethe state legislature has not finalizededucation funding.

The state may not finalize fundinguntil July or August, according toDistrict 191 Communications DirectorRuth Dunn, so the district must be cau-tious and plan for the least amount ofrevenue because a majority of the dis-trict’s funding comes from the state.

“This is a heavy item and somethingwe’ve been working on literally sevendays a week for the past couple of weeksin identifying sustainable workforcegiven our unknown revenue for nextyear,” said Organizational DevelopmentExecutive Director Tania Chance whenshe presented the layoff recommenda-tions at the April 7 board meeting.“We’re trying to move forward in verytough economic conditions.”

Probationary teachers that representnearly 105 full-time equivalent positionsand tenured teachers representing 14full-time equivalent positions were noti-fied they might not have jobs in the 2011-12 school year. This is much higher thanin past years, Director Dan Luth said. In,2010, there were 48 teachers whoreceived layoff notices and 57 in 2009.

Chance said they terminate teachingcontracts and non-renew an average of50 teachers a year for various reasons,the number is higher this year becausethe state funding situation is so uncer-tain, and because the state legislature isdiscussing many proposals that impactschool staffing and programs.

According to the district, the layoffsare a result of stagnant state funding,declining student enrollment, loss offederal stimulus funds, and restructur-ing of departments and programs.

Layoffs are also occurring because ofthe need to establish equity in program- LAYOFFS: TO PAGE 17

ming so every elementary school hasspecialists in art, music, physical educa-tion and science. Once the state legisla-ture finalizes funding for Minnesotapublic schools, some of the faculty maybe hired back if there is enough room inthe budget.

“We certainly hope to have positivelegislative outcome, however, at thistime we can’t guarantee positions,”Chance said. “We can’t move forwardwithout understanding our fundingstreams and where we will lie at the endof this legislative session, so at thispoint we have to plan accordingly.”

“It’s important for the public tounderstand that this is a judiciary deci-sion,” said Director Jim Schmid. “It’snot a reference to performance or dissat-isfaction, but it’s just the times anduncertainty more than anything. It’s ourhope that we can recall most of theseteachers, if not all of them, based on thelegislative outcome.”

At the April 7 meeting, Board ChairRon Hill read a list of all of the employ-ees facing layoffs, adding that the listwas exhaustive and includes close to 15-20 percent of the teachers in the district.

“We expect a large number of thesepositions to be back with us this fall,”Hill said. “We are not making a budgetreduction this evening; this is just a mat-ter of statue that is done every year as acourse of business, and a great numberof these teachers will be back.”

Chance said they aren’t required totell probationary staff members aboutthe layoffs until July 1, but she said itwould be a disservice to the staff mem-

“It’s important for thepublic to understand thatthis is a judiciary decision.It’s not a reference toperformance ordissatisfaction.”

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Unlike the prisoners who used tovisit its holding cells, the future of theformer Lakeville Police headquartersbuilding is anything but locked up.

Lakeville City Council members,staff members and others close to thefuture of the former police station stat-ed their concerns and opinions duringa work session Monday, April 25, atLakeville City Hall. The former policestation building has been vacant foryears following the Lakeville PoliceDepartment’s move to its new locationin 2008. In January, the local school dis-trict declined to use the building due tobudgetary reasons.

Since then, the building has been thefocus for members of two groups – theSenior Center and the Lakeville AreaHistorical Society – working together

to potentially secure use of the struc-ture.

But doing so is not coming as easilyas some would like.

Senior Coordinator Linda Walter, ofthe Lakeville Senior Citizens group,was among those in attendance addingher input.

“We’ve run out of room at ourSenior Center,” Walter said, “The cen-ter, the present one, is now 25 years old,and the programming has changedsince it has been built.”

Walter went on to say that there area lot of exercise programs held at thecurrent facility, but due to the center’sincrease in membership and lack ofspace has made daily activities oftendifficult to conduct.

“The way the present Senior Center

Get up out of your chairIf you spend most of the

day sitting in your car or anoffice chair, on the couch or ata table, you are putting your-self at an increased risk forobesity, diabetes, heart dis-ease, cancer and an earlydeath. In other words, sittingis bad for you.

That is the conclusion ofseveral recent studies. Peoplewho sit most of the day havelarger waists and worse pro-files of blood pressure andblood sugar than those who sitless.

Sitting in a chair is one ofthe worse things that you cando for your health becauseyou burn a minimum amountof energy. Compared to sit-ting, standing in one place ishard work. To stand, you haveto tense your leg muscles andengage the muscles of yourback and shoulders; while

standing, you often shift fromleg to leg and all of this burnsenergy.

To burn more energy andincrease weight loss (or pre-vent weight gain), considerhow much time you sit duringthe day and what you can doinstead.

For instance, while watch-ing television, instead of sit-ting in the comfort of an easychair, do exercises on the flooror run in place. While at work,stand at your desk instead ofsit in the desk chair. If possi-ble, raise your desk to make iteasier to stand in front of andstill do your work.

When you sit a lot you don’tuse as much energy as stand-ing, so find more ways tostand throughout your dayand enjoy the added benefitsof burning those extra calo-ries.

Tips to ease the trip to the dentistDo you ever get nervous just

thinking about going to thedentist? You might be worry-ing unnecessarily. With den-tistry’s many advances, diag-nosis and treatment gets moresophisticated and comfortableall the time.

It’s often best to share youranxiety. If you’re tense or anx-ious, tell your dentist and thedental staff. Getting your con-cerns out in the open will letyour dentist adapt the treat-ment to your needs.

Try to choose a time foryour dental visit when you’reless likely to be rushed orunder pressure. For some peo-

ple, that means a Saturday oran early-morning appoint-ment.

If the sound of the drillbothers you, bring a portableaudio player and headset soyou can listen to your favoritemusic. During the dental visityou might try visualizingyourself relaxing on a warmbeach.

These positive techniqueswork wonders for many. Trythem on your next dentalvisit.

Prevention.Crime Prevention Through

Environmental Design teaches propertyowners a disciplinary approach to deter-ring criminal behavior through environ-mental design of one’s property - forexample, altering landscape by cutting apine tree or trimming shrubbery toavoid hiding places.

“Ten-feet tall, overgrown shrubs andtrees allow for great hiding spots for badpeople,” Anselment said.

She said Crime Prevention ThroughEnvironmental Design has proven to beuseful for many residents. However, shecautions people to heed these crime pre-vention strategies before incidentsoccur.

“People have recommended us forCrime Prevention ThroughEnvironmental Design surveys of theirhomes,” Anselment said.“Unfortunately, it’s often after a burgla-ry when someone would call us up forhelp on that.”

The Terrorism Awareness andPrevention program, which Anselmentsaid is a new addition to this year’straining, will assist citizens in under-standing and identifying terrorists orterrorist activity, and on how to properly

report this type of criminal activity tothe police.

“It gives the attendees an overview ofterrorism. When people think of terror-ism they think of international terror-ism; domestic terrorism, such as theshooting of Congresswoman Giffords,happens everyday,” Anselment said. “Wewant to train our landlords to detectcharacteristics of terrorists by identify-ing behaviors and that sort of thing. Forexample, there are hate groups that com-mit terrorism everyday.”

The training includes two otherspeakers: a housing specialist and ahousing attorney. The specialist,Anselment said, is a longtime managerwho has vast experience and knowledgewith landlord-tenant law and issuesrelated to it. The attorney works withHOME Line (a nonprofit statewide ten-ant advocacy organization).

One person who has already regis-tered for the training program isRamsey Boyd, a 10-year resident ofEagan who takes a great interest in hiscity and reducing crime in its residen-tial areas. Boyd is the maintenance man-ager at Boulder City Apartments. Healso serves a volunteer position as thevice president of Eagan’s crime-freemulti-housing coalition.

“We represent the apartments and

Danielle represents the police depart-ment,” Boyd said. “It’s vital that wework together and we come up with newideas to keep our apartments safe andclean.”

Boyd said it’s pertinent for apartmentmanagers to work with the police,explaining that crime can be reported toone or the other, but the combination isnecessary to remove troublesome ten-ants.

“There is a fine line with where wetake off and they take over and viceversa,” he said. “The police departmentcan’t officially remove someone fromtheir property. We go to court with theirdocumentation to have them removed.Essentially, if we don’t work togetherthere’s nothing that can be done.”

With the economic downturn, Boydrecognizes an increase in single-familyhomeowners who are leasing space aswell. He addressed the importance forboth types of landlords to be vigilantwith protecting their property.

“That’s what they’re training us [for],so that we’re the eyes and ears and wehave the ability to identify possiblecriminal activity,” Boyd said.

He said the training is especiallyvaluable for potential first-time land-lords, and homeowners, in particular.He stressed the importance for them to

become familiar with the rules and reg-ulations involved with the dynamics ofthe owner-tenant relationships.

“[The training] is important so thatthey make sure they’re getting the prop-er training to protect their invest-ments,” Boyd said. “If you don’t have theproper experience and follow the rightguidelines, if they’re going on their gutfeeling [and] not doing background orcriminal checks, then you don’t knowwho you are renting to…It opens upthem, and their neighborhood, to a high-er possibility of crime.”

According to the brochure for thetraining, other topics covered by thisprogram include hoarding awarenessand response, and handling evictionsand drug situations.

Some of benefits of the training list-ed in the brochure include: stable, moresatisfied residents; increased demandfor rental units; stronger reputation;lower maintenance and repair costs;increased property value; improved per-sonal safety and peace of mind.

The registration deadline was listedas May 1. However, Anselment said lateregistration would be accepted throughTuesday, May 10.

is built is that it has the main purposeroom as you come in the door,” shesaid. “So your trying to do exercises,your trying to do presentations, yourtrying to do all this, and you’ve goteverybody coming in out the door backand forth.”

The biggest question facing the city,according to Walter, is whether or notthe city should put up the old stationfor sale on account of its monetaryvalue, an issue related to a concern ofCity Council member Kerrin Swecker.

“I will not support city tax dollars ornew tax dollars going toward the moveof the Senior Center,” she said. “I thinkthat the money needs to be raised, Iwant to try to gauge the communitysupport and see how much communitysupport we can get for it. I think it’s avery good option, but I’m still con-cerned that $300,000 is a lot of money toraise.”

On that issue, City Council member

Matt Little provided his opinion, whichwas in support of raising the moneyneeded, $298,000 to be specific.

“We have one of the most provenfundraisers on staff in Steve Michaud,”Little said. “He’s raised money forthings like Aronson Park, the memorialthere, and you’ve got the miracle fieldthat he’s also raised money for. So thisis a guy who can raise serious moneyeven in tough times.”

Little added that the nearly $300,000needed is assuming the city does notreceive any grants or any type of fund-ing except private donations.

“With that in mind, I think we’re ingood shape in terms of the funding,and the fact that we don’t have toincrease property taxes to do this isvery encouraging,” Little furthernoted.

In the end, council members direct-ed staff to gather community inputabout the concept and bring it back tothe city council for further debate in 60days.

Apple Valley vaulters quickly become state contendersLinder, Harms competeat Hamline Elite MeetBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

A little more than a year ago, HannahLinder and Kelsey Harms were novicesat pole vaulting. Now they’re two of thebest high school vaulters in the state.

How did this happen?“A thousand vaults in the winter,”

Linder said.Said Harms: “I’m competitive, and so

is [Linder]. If we’re going to do a sport,we want to be good at it.”

Harms and Linder are already two ofthe best vaulters ever in an Apple Valleygirls program with a history of successin the event. The Eagles had a state polevault champion, Kristin Dare, threeyears ago.

Earlier this year Linder set theschool girls vaulting record, clearing 11feet, 6 inches at the Eagles’ outdoor sea-son opener in Lakeville. Harms vaulted11-0 at the same meet.

They were the top two seeds at theHamline Elite Meet, essentially an all-star game for track and field. The topperformers from the 2011 season thusfar are invited.

Linder and Harms were among sevenvaulters to clear 10-9 at the Elite Meet onApril 29 at Hamline University. After

tiebreakers were applied, Linder fin-ished in a tie for second place andHarms tied for seventh. The winner,Richfield’s Sara Tseng, cleared 11-6.

Linder and Harms are in other sportsat Apple Valley. Linder, a sophomore,plays soccer and Harms, a junior, is alibero on the volleyball team.

Jamie Steffen, Apple Valley’s vault-ing coach, asked them to give it a try.Although Linder and Harms said theirbest vaults last season were about 9 feet,they showed potential.

Both trained over the winter atFuzion Athletics in Burnsville, anindoor sports facility that Steffen oper-ates.

“We’ve put in a lot of work the lastsix months,” Linder said. “We hope todo better than we did [at the EliteMeet]. Our best meet was like twomeets ago [at Lakeville].”

Linder described vaulting as halfphysical ability and half mental ability.The mental part is understanding tech-nique and being able to perform whenpeople are watching.

On the physical side, strength countsfor a lot. This year both Apple Valleyvaulters switched to longer poles thatcan help them maximize their potential.

“To be able to go up a pole, you haveto train for it,” Harms said. “You have tomake yourself stronger.”

The Apple Valley vaulters are con-

vinced they haven’t peaked yet this sea-son.

“I like to try to take it one day at atime,” Linder said, “but yeah, 12 feetwould be a goal.”

Elite Meet notes• Eastview’s Alex Beckman finished

fifth in the girls 100-meter dash in 12.92seconds. In the triple jump, an eventwhere Beckman is defending stateClass AA champion, she took secondwith 36-6.5.

Eastview’s Melita Ware was fifth inthe triple jump with 35-7.

Beckman was eighth (16-6.75) andWare 10th (16-5.5) in the long jump.

Beckman, Leah Nesheim, ParisSanders and Claire Elliott were third inthe 4x200 relay in 1 minute, 46.29 sec-onds.

• Rosemount’s Tori Grund was 12thin the girls 3,200 in 11:46.34.

• Apple Valley had two boys in theElite meet. Quinn Hooks qualified inthe high jump and cleared 6-4 to takefourth place. Nick Baird cleared 13-6earlier this season to qualify for theElite Meet in the pole vault but did notclear a height Friday at Hamline.

Rivalries set aside on Wild Irish lacrosse teamEagan/Rosemount girlsbecoming morecompetitive inconferenceBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The trend in high school lacrosse isfor co-op teams to split up and go italone as the sport attracts more players.

The Eagan/Rosemount girls programisn’t quite at that stage yet, and coachJeff Smith said the “Wild Irish” – that’sthe nickname the combined programadopted – is in no hurry to split up.

With the two schools in the same dis-trict and only a few miles apart, it wouldbe logical to assume that the girls areathletic rivals. Not so in lacrosse, Smithsaid.

“We have girls from both schools who

have played together for several years,”the coach said. “We have a few youngkids who just came out this year, andthey were accepted right away. Thesegirls have a really strong team concept.”

Becoming competitive has been aslow process, but Smith said the WildIrish are making strides there, despitethree losses last week.

After starting the season with non-conference victories over St. Louis Parkand Park of Cottage Grove,Rosemount/Eagan lost South Suburbangames to Apple Valley (18-7), Burnsville(11-9 in overtime) and Lakeville North(12-11 in overtime).

Against Lakeville North, which waspart of a combined Lakeville team thatreached the 2010 state tournament, theWild Irish rallied late to tie the game 10-10. North then scored with 1:30 left inthe second half to take the lead, but

RIVALRY: TO NEXT PAGE


Eagan/Rosemount junior CassieMiller scored with 58 seconds remain-ing to send the game to overtime.

Lakeville North scored once inovertime and the Wild Irish didn’thave another comeback left in them.

“I was really proud of the way thegirls came back,” Smith said. “Thesecond half [against Lakeville North]was our best of the year. It was a lot offun to watch.”

Junior forward Simone Haugen,who scored 11 goals in the Wild Irish’sfirst two games, had seven againstLakeville North. Senior midfielderAbi Rodstein scored twice.

Midfielders Chelsea Nelson andHannah O’Donnell, defenders JessicaHasslinger and Sara Tollefson, andforward Annie Smith are the otherseniors on the roster. Rodstein,O’Donnell, Haugen and Miller are cap-tains.

Rodstein, Miller and Haugen areamong Wild Irish players who couldhave a future in lacrosse in college.They are helping keepEagan/Rosemount competitive whileother team members learn the game.Smith said 10 to 12 girls in the pro-gram this spring are first-yearlacrosse players. Most of those playersare on the Wild Irish junior varsity.

As for the varsity, the three SouthSuburban losses last season will makeit difficult for the Wild Irish to con-tend for the conference title or earn ahigh playoff seed. But Smith said hethinks the team can be a pesky playoffopponent if it keeps improving.

“It’s coming,” he said.

Also in girls lacrosse … • Apple Valley started 4-1, winning its

first four games before losing toLakeville North 11-8 in overtime onApril 30.

The Eagles outscored their first fouropponents 45-14. Liz Hermes andKatrina Vogelgesang scored three goalseach in a 14-4 victory over LakevilleSouth on April 29. Hannah Segar hadtwo goals, two assists and controllednine ground balls.

Segar had eight goals in AppleValley’s 18-7 victory overEagan/Rosemount on April 25.

• Burnsville is 3-4 overall after defeat-ing Owatonna 15-8 in a non-conferencegame April 29.

Britta Nelson, a ninth-grader, scoredsix goals in the Blaze’s 11-9 overtime vic-tory over Eagan/Rosemount on April25. Megan Killmer and Kallie LaVallescored twice each for Burnsville, whichended a four-game losing streak.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGEEagles experience highs, lows of lacrosseBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The caste system in high school boyslacrosse is slowly disappearing.

The sport still has its superpowers,such as defending state championBenilde-St. Margaret’s, but there alsoare fewer games that are all but decidedbefore the opening faceoff.

Apple Valley is an example of thesport’s developing parity. Last week theEagles beat Eagan – the third-placeteam in last year’s state tournament – 8-6. It was Apple Valley’s first victory overthe Wildcats in Ben Uzlik’s tenure ashead coach.

Four days later, the Eagles lost toLakeville South 7-6 in overtime in whatmost lacrosse observers would considera sizeable upset.

“This year has been up and down fora lot of teams,” Uzlik said. “We’ve seenteams beating other teams that theyweren’t predicted to beat.”

For the Eagles, parity means oppor-tunity. With a couple of their biggestrivals having to replace a lot of playersthis season, this might be Apple Valley’sbest chance to go to the state tourna-ment since the Minnesota State High

School League began sponsoring one in2007.

But the Eagles had their own holes tofill, particularly in front of the net.Senior Josh Wielenga became thestarter after David Louis graduated.

“Before this year, I’d be surprised ifJosh played 45 to 60 varsity minutes,”Uzlik said. “Now he’s playing 60 min-utes every night.”

The Eagles also graduated their toptwo scorers, but junior midfieldersConnor Uzlik (Ben’s younger brother)and Derek Falteisek have become thecornerstones of the offense. ConnerUzlik had 32 points and Falteisek 21through the first six games. The Eagles’next-highest scorer had 10 points.

“Derek has really taken a leadershiprole,” Ben Uzlik said. “Connor’s alwaysbeen a player who set up other players.Now he realizes he has to find opportu-nities to step up and take some shots.”

Ninth-graders Tim Toavs and ChrisRulau are filling the attack vacanciescreated by graduation.

The Eagles also are a relativelyyoung team. Wielenga, defender KyleOswald and midfielders MalcomPeterson, Quentin Bunnell, Tim Ness

and Austin Hughson are the only sen-iors on the roster.

Falteisek, Toavs and Connor Uzlikscored two goals apiece in the Eagles’victory over Eagan on April 25. Thenext day, Falteisek and Connor Uzlikscored twice as Apple Valley defeatedLakeville North 7-5.

Ben Uzlik said the Eagles are athlet-ic and can use their speed to get qualityscoring chances before the opponentcan set up its defense.

Getting a young team to play consis-tently is the biggest challenge, thecoach said.

“We’ve had games where we cameout on fire in the first and second quar-ters, had a lull in the third and picked itup in the fourth,” Ben Uzlik said.

Where was the lull against LakevilleSouth?

“The whole game,” the coach said. “Ithink my players completely over-looked Lakeville South. We can’t affordto have that happen. All these games inour conference are going to be tough.”

The Eagles will play Rosemount,which started its season 6-0, at 7 p.m.Friday, May 6, at Rosemount HighSchool.

In a hurry?Liz Hermes of Apple Valley drives toward the goal as Taylor Christianson of Lakeville North defends in a South Suburban Conference girls lacrossegame April 30.

Notebook: High school wrestling shakes up weight classesBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

High school athletes are getting big-ger, and one sport is acknowledging itthrough a rule change.

A number of weight classes inwrestling will be adjusted upward, theNational Federation of State HighSchool Associations announced lastweek. It’s the first overhaul of weightclasses in 23 years and will go into effectin the 2011-12 season.

The number of weight classesremains at 14. Four weight classes – 145pounds, 152, 160 and 285 – remain thesame.

Everywhere else, there are changes.The lightest weight class moves from 103pounds to 106. There used to be sevenweight classes before 145; now there willbe six.

Also, there will be five weight classesafter 160, where before there were four.

The new weight class lineup: 106, 113,120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182,195, 220 and 285.

The new classes are the result of astudy by the NFHS, analyzing data frommore than 200,000 wrestlers nationwide.

The goal was to have 7 percent of allwrestlers in each weight class.

Initial reaction from high schoolwrestling coaches nationwide was thatit would be easier for teams to fill the106-pound weight class, while moreupper-weight classes might entice morefootball players to go out for wrestling.

The downside? Possibly fewer lineupspots for smaller athletes who aren’t anideal fit for other winter sports such asbasketball and hockey.

Rough springThe horrid spring weather has incon-

venienced almost every high schoolteam in Minnesota, but perhaps nonemore so than lacrosse teams.

The lacrosse season is barely twomonths long, beginning March 28 whenteams were allowed to begin practicingwith coaches present. The final day ofthe state tournament is June 10.

Schools without access to artificialturf fields have been especially hard hit.Apple Valley boys lacrosse coach BenUzlik said the Eagles have been able toget in their games but have lost someoutdoor practices because of poor condi-

tions. In a sport such as lacrosse, prac-ticing in gymnasiums has a limited ben-efit, Uzlik said.

“I don’t think that’s the way to grow asport,” he said.

Uzlik would like to see the officialstart of lacrosse practice moved up toMarch 1 so teams would have three orfour weeks to prepare for their firstgames. Of course, if teams didn’t haveartificial turf fields at their own schools,they would have to rent time elsewherefor March practices.

Also, if it were approved for lacrosse,it probably would be only a matter oftime before other sports lobbied thestate high school league for earlier prac-tice start dates.

One more award forMcCauley
