Rain drives graduation into gymFamily, friends of 440 students attend ceremony

by Laura AdelmannTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rain drove Rosemount High School’s graduation ceremonies indoors but didn’t dampen spirits as 440 seniors graduated Satur-day, June 5. Faculty speaker Kurt Bills and senior class speaker Courtney Marti jointly gave a speech that included advice to be a light in the dark world, pursue excel-lence, live with integrity and make wise financial deci-sions. Rosemount High School choir conductor Steve Albaugh led the choir in two stirring selections, “If You’re Out There” and the traditional “Irish Bless-ing.” The top 10 honor students were recognized before diplomas were presented: Jennifer Saunders, Emily Holz, Micaella Petrich, Jared Sipe, Katie Morris, Tim Bell, Austin Phillips, Salutatorian Karen Lamb and Valedictorians Matt Quan and Elliot Bell. After jubilantly throwing their hats in the air, the newest Rosemount alumni celebrated with family and friends before attending their all-night party.

Rosemount business fined for accident that killed two workersby Laura Adelmann

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Rosemount fertilizer plant was one of two busi-nesses fined by the Minne-sota Occupational Health and Safety Administration after an investigation into a toxic ammonia leak in No-vember that killed two truck drivers.

CF Industries, a fertilizer plant, was fined $1,400 for failing to monthly inspect and ensure its respirators functioned properly. The trucking company, High Pressure Transports of Oklahoma, was fined $25,000 for not providing a safe work environment. Both are considered se-

rious violations of safety standards, and neither com-pany contested the citations. The accident killed Rob-ert Shue, 31, and 56-year-old Roy Taylor, both of Oklahoma, when poisonous vapors were released after a piping connection transfer-ring the ammonia onto the truck failed. Shue died immediately and Taylor succumbed two

weeks later in the hospital. Rosemount Po-lice Officer Scott Sand-ell and Dakota County Sheriff ’s Deputy Matt Schuster were also injured while trying to help the truckers. According to CF Indus-tries’ website, anhydrous ammonia requires special equipment and technology to transport, store and ap-

ply. The company website states that the chemical is produced in some capac-ity by all of CF Industries’ manufacturing plants. It also states CF Indus-tries has one of the best safety performance records in the chemical industry, noting that four of its facili-ties have surpassed the 40-year mark without a single

lost-time accident. The website states, “CF Industries is committed to assuring that its employees go home every day the same way they came to work that morning: safe and healthy.” In 2003, OSHA gave the company’s Glenwood plant a Safety and Health award.

It’s been a rough year and a half for the Randal and Anne Neppl family. In December 2008, the Apple Valley couple’s 8-year-old son AJ was diag-nosed with aplastic anemia, a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to re-plenish blood cells. After a bone marrow transplant, doctors had more grim news for AJ, who’d been experiencing seizures. “We thought we were do-ing great,” said Randal, but then doctors found a tumor in AJ’s frontal lobe; discov-ery of a second tumor re-sulted in surgery and several rounds of chemotherapy. AJ, a second-grader this year at Diamond Path El-ementary who enjoys playing computer games and Nin-tendo Wii, was kept out of school while he weathered the treatments. His teacher, Lauren Quam, would stop by the family’s home after school to give AJ lessons. In May of this year, the family got some good news.

“The doctor came and said there was no cancer ac-tivity,” Randal said. The Neppls will be sharing their story as the honorary host family at this year’s Apple Valley Relay For Life, an annual event supporting the American Cancer Society that will be held June 18-19 at Eastview High School. Randal, an Apple Val-ley firefighter, will deliver the Relay For Life’s opening address. Though AJ still wears a cloth medical mask most of the time to keep healthy, and requests extra servings of ice cream – a request his parents are happy to oblige

to help him regain body weight – things are starting to look up. What’s made the ordeal easier has been the community support the family has received, Randal said. In April, the Apple Valley Firefighters Relief Associa-tion hosted “Grab a Bite for Alex,” a benefit dinner for the

The fight against cancer will last all night long at Eastview High School June 18-19. The annual Apple Val-ley Relay For Life will see teams walking and running around the high school’s track as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Seventeen teams and about 150 people have al-ready registered for this year’s relay, which kicks off with the opening lap at 7 p.m. and runs until the fol-lowing morning. Patty Gerrits, who has been involved with the Ap-ple Valley Relay For Life for three years, is this year’s honorary “survivor chair” and will host a survivors’ tent alongside the track throughout the relay. Gerrits, who works in the

guidance office at Eastview High School, began partici-pating in the relay after her own battles with cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago, and five years ago found out she had lymphoma, for which she underwent radiation and chemotherapy. “I come from a family that has a very long history

Neppls at Fire Station No. 3 to help the family cover AJ’s medical expenses. And the “Neppl Family Benefit Fund,” which allows people to make donations to help with AJ’s medical expenses, has been set up at Wings Financial, 14985

Glazier Ave., Apple Valley. The family is looking forward to spending some high-quality time together this summer. “We’re hoping the doctor will give us the OK to go to our cabin,” Randal said. And AJ, whose older sister, Jessica, also attends Diamond Path, has been

granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s going to Disney World sometime next winter. “I’m going to go to Flor-ida when it’s hot there and cold in Minnesota,” said AJ.

with cancer,” she said. “I’m here to help other survivors see that hope and that light, to see that it is not a death sentence.” Gerrits said the relay is

Hope/from 1A

Relay/from 1A more than a fundraiser – it helps spread encourage-ment for those who’ve en-dured or are currently bat-tling cancer. “It’s important for can-cer survivors to have that encouragement,” she said. The relay raises money through team commitment fees and individual dona-tion goals secured from family, friends, companies or corporations. People can form teams and register on-line at www.relayforlife.org/applevalleymn. Relay For Life grew from an idea of Dr. Gor-don Klatt, who in 1985 ran and walked for 24 hours on a track in Tacoma, Wash., traveling about 81 miles and raising $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. From there, Relay For Life was born and is now held nationwide. The mon-ey raised helps support American Cancer Society programs in research, edu-cation, advocacy and ser-vice – locally, statewide and nationally. During the Apple Valley relay, there will be music, food, fun, entertainment and activities while par-ticipants build camarade-rie with fellow teammates. A “tent city” is created around the track where team members rest and re-group between walking and running sessions. At the start of the re-lay, cancer survivors from around the community are

invited to take a victory lap and be cheered on by fel-low participants. A dinner for survivors, catered by Rascals Bar and Grill, will be held prior to the relay inside the high school at 5 p.m. A candlelight ceremony at dusk will pay tribute to those who have been affect-ed by cancer. Luminaria can be purchased in honor of those who have survived their battles with cancer, for those still fighting, and in memory of those who have lost their battles to the dis-ease. The luminaria – white paper bags with sand and candles inside – will be laid out around the track.

Register, donate The Apple Valley Relay For Life is seeking dona-tions of time, silent auction items and money from local individuals and businesses. To register a team or do-nate money, go to the web-site: www.relayforlife.org/applevalleymn. To donate an item for the silent auction or to volunteer, contact Melissa Marquis at (651) 255-8148 or [email protected]. Cancer survivors who’d like to register for the “sur-vivor dinner” at Eastview prior to the Relay For Life can contact Patty Gerrits at (952) 953-0778.

When the committee organizing the first Rose-mount High School Per-forming Arts Legacy Gala considered whom to honor with its inau-gural award, the discus-sion was brief. It began and ended with Steve Boehlke, for-mer director of choral ac-tivities at Rosemount High School for 24 years. “He is such a gentle and caring person,” said Steve Albaugh, the school’s cur-rent choir director. “He cares about students past, present and future. He is still supportive of the pro-gram.” It was the combina-tion of Boehlke’s years of service to the school and continued commitment to choral music after he retired from Rosemount that made him the embodiment of the Legacy Award. The performing arts hall of fame award reflects the theme of the gala, which

will include performances by grade school and high school students along with long since graduated per-formers. Some of the contributors to the gala will be some of Boehlke’s former students who are part of the Minne-sota Valley Men’s Chorale, a group Boehlke organized in 2003 and with which he now serves as artistic direc-tor. “Some of them still pull the same things as adults that they did as freshmen,” said Boehlke, who said one-third of the choir is com-prised of Rosemount grad-uates. Boehlke said he was humbled and honored to receive the award and at-tributed his success to the many students and cohorts he has worked with through the years. “We had energy and passion and it was fun,” he said. “It was a great ride all the way through.” Boehlke said he appreci-ated the school and district administrators who allowed the performing arts depart-ment at Rosemount the freedom to experiment.

The results were innova-tive programs like the Mad-rigal Dinner shows, which were popular with both stu-dents and the community. While staging produc-tions was rewarding, it was the day-to-day interaction with students that generat-ed the most satisfaction for Boehlke. “It is a real sense of sat-isfaction that it was not necessarily that you did

Rosemount Cycling club rolls together

Photo by Michael Hukka

Members of Rosemount Cycling meet early Saturday morn-ings at Starbucks.


Gary Johnson, a former bicycle racer from Rose-mount, is encouraging more people to give competitive biking a whirl. As part of his club, Rose-mount Cycling, each Satur-day morning an average of 12 to 25 of the 155 biking en-thusiasts who have joined the club meet at the Rosemount Starbucks, located at County Road 42 and Highway 3, and set out on a 40- to 60-mile-long ride. During the trips to various places including Northfield and Cannon Falls, Johnson is always on the lookout for riders who exhibit a talent for biking and may have a desire to race. Key attributes of poten-tial racers include their posi-tion, riding style and if they are able to keep up as the group travels up hills. “I’m a little bit of a coach. I teach different riding for-mations that the pros in Eu-rope use, I put out e-mails with a tip of the week,” he said. Johnson encourages new people to try cycling, and said anyone who can ride about 15 to 20 miles on a flat road under calm weather conditions at a consistent speed of about 20 mph will probably be able to keep up with the group. Traveling together, the trip, which typically takes

about three hours, is more enjoyable, he said. And if some riders are not able to schedule time for the full ride, there is usually a group of riders who turn around and go back at the halfway point. Johnson began racing in 1974, a year after he had hopped on a friend’s bike on a whim and took it for spin. “I fell in love with it,” Johnson said. Now, at 63, Johnson wants to give something back to the sport he loves by helping oth-ers get started and helping those who decided to pursue bicycle racing. Riders meet at the Star-bucks at 7 a.m. and leave by 7:15 a.m. There are no dues mem-bers pay, but they can choose to purchase a team uniform kit for $170. “I think the format we’ve got works very well for ev-eryone,” Johnson said. “We start out easy, and we don’t drop anyone. We wait up for someone if they have a flat tire. Usually the last 15 miles of the route we’re taking we have an anything-goes pol-icy. People can ride as hard as they want and then the speeds get to 25 to 30 mph range.” To find out more about Rosemount Cycling, visit www.rosemountcycling.com. Laura Adelmann is at [email protected].

something, but you allowed something to happen to them, and allowed them to go some place with a new confidence,” he said. While teaching students how to find their voices in pitch and perfect harmony, Boehlke said he was also im-parting other life lessons. “Through singing you are going to be enhanced as a manager, speaking in front of employees,” Boehlke said. “It allows you to know who you are. It gives you an ability that nothing else can do.” Through the arts Boehlke said he saw students at once

become vulnerable and then find the strength to sing a solo in front of hundreds of people. “The arts allow people to go and to experience some-thing that no other discipline does,” Boehlke said. “It allows us to make them a complete person, and it is something that is vitally important.” Boehlke has earned many awards and honors through the years. In 2005, he received the F. Melius Christiansen award, which is the highest honor giv-en in Minnesota by the Ameri-can Choral Directors Asso-ciation. At that time, Thisweek carried a story recounting his journey through music and

all he accomplished (www.ThisweekLive.com/category/news/rosemount). While Boehlke’s legacy will be remembered in many ways by the many lives he has touched, there is one enduring theme he has returned to often. “We tell all of our students to follow their dreams,” he said. “I think that it is so im-portant to be successful and be happy in what they are do-ing. … They are happy in what they are doing because they know who they are, where they have been, why they are doing what they are doing. ”

Post-recession, local government housing development booming


The Dakota County Com-munity Development Agency is apparently doing pretty well in this economy. While sheriff’s foreclosure sales in Dakota County are nearing 1,300 this year, the CDA has strong revenues and plans to build, develop and purchase land while prices are still depressed. In 2011, the CDA budget is $52 million, a $3.4 million bump over fiscal year 2010. The agency’s largest reve-nue source is intergovernmen-tal grants, which total $21.6 million. Funds collected by the agency are primarily spent on subsidized housing, and the agency has many projects both under way and planned for 2011. CDA Executive Director Mark Ulfers said one of the agency’s primary goals for fis-cal year 2011 is to begin the process for the purchase and redevelopment of the Valley

Ridge Shopping Center in Burnsville. He told Dakota County commissioners June 8 that the 13-acre site is slated for 80 independent senior hous-ing units and 60 assisted living units to be managed by Pres-byterian Homes. “We are close to purchas-ing the site from Kraus An-derson,” Ulfers said. Meanwhile, the first resi-dents of the CDA’s senior housing development, Cob-blestone Square, in Apple Valley, are expected to move in at the end of June, and con-struction will begin on sites in South St. Paul and Farming-ton. Land acquisition is planned in Lakeville, where 36 workforce housing units are planned to be developed on 3.8 acres behind the Muller Family Theatre. Workforce housing units will be constructed in Apple Valley, north of the Super Target store, and in Farming-ton, 25 more workforce hous-

ing units are planned in Twin Ponds, located east of High-way 3 and west of County Road 50. A major renovation proj-ect is planned for Kidder Park affordable housing complex in Rosemount, similar to the significant improvements ex-pected to be finished soon at Burnsville’s Chancellor Man-or. Ulfers said the success of the Burnsville project was very significant. “We had taken an old and tired development and pumped considerable new life into it,” he said. Calling Kidder Park a “troubled development,” Ulfers said the project could help improve the whole neigh-borhood. “It could be on the order of the magnitude of Chancel-lor Manor in terms of what it means to the area,” Ulfers said.

Tolerating bullying is anti-educationTo the editor: If a child does poorly at school, many factors are involved. But sometimes changing only one thing can drastically increase a child’s chances of succeed-ing in school. What can be done to prevent bullying at school? In Minnesota, legislation was discussed in the 2009 session. Some have opposed it and believe other priorities should take precedence. Allowing or tolerating bullies at school is an anti-education agenda. It’s al-ready a challenge to make sure kids have a quality education. Children should not fear going to school. And when a child is going through the school day, he or she should not have un-necessary distractions. School is a place to learn grammar, mathematics, sci-ence, etc. The public school system is not the appropri-ate place to expect children to learn how to deal with verbal or physical abuse. We have laws that are designed to protect adults from sexual intimidation in the workplace, but chil-dren aren’t offered a similar level of protection? They’re expected to “just deal with it” as a part of growing up? Maybe anti-bullying laws should be lower on the priority list, as some people believe. However, my belief is that some relatively small amount of time can be spent on this in future leg-islative sessions. If people can complain about their property taxes and how taxpayer money is used, I think improving the educa-tion system by helping to give children a sense of se-curity and feelings of being

protected by those who love them can fit somewhere in the list of priorities. I don’t anticipate that it would take very much time at all: simply amend or ex-pand some of the existing laws that protect children, laws which people already support.

ANDY ALTBurnsville

Sticking with a real representativeTo the editor: I recently received a “Session Commentary” re-port from Kurt Bills, who is running against state Rep. Phil Sterner, DFL-Rose-mount, for the Minnesota House of Representatives. I was somewhat amused to read this “pseudo” report on the 2010 legislative ses-sion. Does Bills think he is already a legislator? In it, Bills simplistically states that to address next year’s estimated $6 bil-lion deficit, “the budget must be cut.” OK, fine, but what should be cut? Should schools take the hit? Or perhaps nursing homes? Should fees, co-pays, and property taxes continue to skyrocket to fill the gap left by state cuts? If Bills wants to cut, tell us exactly where. Bills also talks about the 2010 bonding bill. He seems pleased that Gov. Tim Pawlenty “reduced the size of the billion-dollar bill” and also says, “We need to have a serious dis-cussion about what defines a ‘capital expenditure.’” So, I assume he agreed with Pawlenty’s slashing of area projects in the 2010 bonding bill, including the Rosemount Park and Ride, funding for the nan-

otechnology lab at Dakota County Technical College, and Cedar Corridor Tran-sit funding. I would like to know Bills’ stance on these ve-toes. It might be fun for Bills to pretend he is a legislator and “cut” the budget and toss important projects like the Rosemount Park and Ride and our neigh-borhood technical colleges into the discard pile. It’s another thing to be a re-sponsible public servant for our community. I’m sticking with our “real” representative –Phil Stern-er.

MARTIN OLAGUEApple Valley

Kurt Bills shows he is in touch with the peopleTo the editor: Like many of my friends and neighbors, I have be-come increasingly frustrat-ed with government, heath care, and the state of our economy. I am rather naive when it come to politics, however, I have no right to complain about the cur-rent political climate unless I am willing to learn more and do something about it. I could not help but get excited when I first read that an economics teacher from Rosemount High School, Kurt Bills, was running for the Minne-sota House of Representa-tives. With the economy at the forefront of the issues Minnesotans are facing, it just makes sense to (as Bills campaign slogan exclaims) bring ECON101 to the Capitol. Shortly following the state legislative session,

volunteers began the pro-cess of dropping fliers at homes across Rosemount, Apple Valley, and part of Burnsville containing a post-legislative session report and commentary from Sen. Chris Gerlach, Rep. Tara Mack, and Kurt Bills. I found the informa-tion in these reports to be refreshingly upfront. It’s a very proactive approach to inform Minnesota citizens about what is happening at the Capitol. I was surprised to learn that on the same day that Bills began distributing these reports, state Rep. Phil Sterner had a meet-and-greet at a local cof-fee shop with few in at-tendance. What does this mean for Sterner? One candidate waits for us to meet up with him while the other is out there, deliver-ing to my front door. We definitely need a leader who is putting in the effort to get the job done. Bills is already show-ing that he’s going to be responsible to the people, and is communicating with the constituency.

HEIDI PAYNEApple Valley

Sterner on wrong side of the aisleTo the editor: In his May 21 letter, William Cory Labovitch, a South St. Paul resident who cheerleads frequently for Apple Valley-Rose-mount state Rep. Phil Sterner, asked why any pro-lifer would oppose Sterner’s re-election. In an exercise of remarkable ef-ficiency, Labovitch went on to answer the question himself by saying, “Hon-estly, I don’t think they would.” I beg to differ. Many pro-life voters, including many of us who were once active in Stern-er’s DFL party, do indeed oppose Sterner’s re-elec-

tion. We do so because Sterner’s party affiliation in and of itself undercuts the ability of citizens to defend innocent human life in its most vulnerable stages. The radical pro-abor-tion leadership of the DFL can maintain its strangle-hold on power in this state only through the collu-sion of so-called “pro-life Democrats” like Sterner. Indeed, Sterner’s first vote – to bestow the extraordi-nary powers of Speaker of the House on abortion zealot Margaret Kelliher – pulled the rug out from under the pro-life cause he claims to support. When it comes to ad-vancing the right to life cause, it matters less where Sterner stands on the issue than where he sits in the House. Sterner is on the wrong side of the aisle. Therefore, this pro-lifer will be sup-porting pro-lifer Kurt Bills for state representative DEB KACZMAREKRosemount

State projects put people to workTo the editor: Recent writers felt moved to defend the “no-new-taxes” school of pro-tection for wealthy indi-viduals and corporations. They attacked the idea that government spending re-duced unemployment dur-ing the Great Depression. Citing statistics of high unemployment during the early years of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, they failed to mention the sharp declines in unem-ployment during his time in office and the role of the Hoover administration in causing the original un-employment after the stock market crash of 1929. In our area, economic problems have been high-lighted by reports from the Minnesota Department

of Revenue, which show wealthier individuals and corporations pay less of a share of their income in total taxes than those who are not so wealthy. These studies don’t scorn wealthy individuals and corpora-tions. They merely report there’s a nicer set of tax standards for those who al-ready have wealth. More recent attempts by DFL legislators San-dra Masin, Mike Oberm-ueller, Phil Sterner, Will Morgan, Jim Carlson, and John Doll to level the play-ing field by raising taxes on these wealthy folks and corporations were vetoed by the governor. This was in spite of the fact that earlier cuts to fed-eral and state tax rates for these privileged folks did not show a benefit to the economy during the Bush-Pawlenty era. As increasing unemployment in the latter years of their administra-tions show, there was no “trickle-down” effect from these preferential favors. To rescue the economy of the local area and our state, many legislators worked to pass a bonding bill to put jobs and proj-ects into effect. The results have helped our local econ-omy. Even the governor signed the bill. Yet the embarrassed de-fenders want to distract us from the challenges of low home values and local un-employment. So they chant the mantra, “taxes bad, government bad” over and over. The writers deny that Roosevelt had it right. They want to avoid admit-ting that his public works projects and government investments into infra-structure put people to work and food onto tables. They’d rather not tell us how smart investments help families to survive and revive the economy.

The libraries of today are much different places than they were a genera-tion ago. The public library I fre-quented during my school years was a passive place. One could hear a pencil drop inside its expansive four walls at nearly all of its hours of operation. As for its selection, it was virtually all books found through a manually operated card catalog. A June 12 free event at the Burnsville Performing Arts cen-ter staged by the Dakota County Library System shows how our places of books have transformed into active, engaging and exciting community centers. The first Rhythm and Words Family Music and Book Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. showcases in a splash the changing role li-braries are playing as it will pro-vide a sample of the kind of pro-gramming people can find every week at Dakota County libraries. In the past few years, county residents have seen the shift in the

libraries’ focus in a con-crete way with renovation projects and the construc-tion of a new library. The work at Galaxie, Wescott and now Burnhaven has aimed to create room for the kinds

of materials patrons increasingly are demanding, such as CDs and DVDs, while also adding space dedicated for computer stations. The new Robert Trail Library, completed last year, reflects the changing state of libraries. There is less room dedicated for printed reference materials and more space afforded for computer sta-tions and small- and large-group meeting rooms. It is inside these meeting rooms where many of the interactive programs occur. There are story times for toddlers, sing-alongs, activities, crafts, video game con-tests, author readings, writing clubs, theatrical presentations and much more. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Books Calendar in this edition or see it on our web-site under the Thisweekend head-

ing. Ken Behringer, library sys-tem director, and Jen Verbrugge, in charge of Community Con-nections for the libraries, spoke recently about the event and the changing role of libraries during a recent episode of ThisweekLive the Show that is posted on our website. Verbrugge said the event, which is being funded by the 2008 voter-approved three-eighths per-cent sales tax increase for preserv-ing the state’s arts and cultural

heritage, will appeal to all ages from toddlers to seniors. The music will include such styles as bluegrass, pop and hip-hop. People will be encouraged to dance and even play along on instruments provided. “We want to bring music into their lives,” Verbrugge said. She said children’s librarians in Dakota County and across the country are implementing mu-sic programs because there is a strong link showing that rhythm and music help children learn

how to read. The event also includes au-thor presentations and interactive family music classes. Behringer hopes the event will attract people who may not have been to a Dakota County library in a long time. “I see this event as a way for us to relate that in addition to put-ting on programs like this, we are an information resource, we have a homework help database … and cultural programs throughout the entire year,” Behringer said. “Every time you get an oppor-tunity to tell the public that the li-brary is so much more than what people may think it is, it works in our favor and we end up with more users.” If the event lures those who haven’t been to a library since my school years, here’s a hint: You won’t have to finger through the card catalog to find a book. Tad Johnson is managing edi-tor of Thisweek Newspapers. He is at [email protected].

Event shows how libraries have turned the page

Dakota County Libraries’ Rhythm and Words musical lineup will include Bunny Clogs, Clementown, Koo Koo Kanga Roo, The Sweet Colleens, and the Whistlepigs String Band. Author presentations include Chris Monroe, Duluth author/illustrator of the “Monkey with a Tool Belt” picture books, and Jarrett Krosoczka, creator of the Lunch Lady graphic novels and the Punk Farm picture books. People can sample fun and interactive family music classes pro-vided by Kindermusik of the Valley and MacPhail Center for Mu-sic. Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine will provide on-site concessions.

Jay Fishman has a straightforward philosophy: Orchestral music should be accessible to everyone. Fishman, conductor/artistic director of the Minnesota Sin-fonia, founded the nonprofit orches-tra comprised of professional musi-cians in 1989 with the idea of bringing classical music to under-served popu-lations: families with young children or limited finances, inner-city youths, senior cit-izens. All of the Minneapolis-based orchestra’s concerts are free, and all are open to children. “No one had ever done

that before in terms of a professional orchestra,” said Fishman, who founded the group after splitting with the Minneapolis Chamber Symphony. “This orchestra is built around community

service.” Dakota County will play host to two free, family-oriented concerts by the Min-nesota Sinfonia this month, June 13 at Caponi Art Park in Eagan, and June 20 at the Minnesota

Zoo in Apple Valley. The concerts will feature a mix of familiar classics (Mozart, Beethoven, Tchai-kovsky), marches, waltzes, and movie and show tunes. The orchestra relies on grants – from the state arts board and other govern-

Standings Lightning golf qualifies for state for the first time

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For the first time in school history, Eastview girls golf is going to state as a team. The Lightning won the Section 3AAA title last week at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids, ending a 12-year run by Woodbury. Eastview moved into the section last season and finished second behind Woodbury, which recently split with East Ridge High School. It was yet another honor bestowed upon Eastview this season. The girls also won the Lake Conference title. Sara Detlefsen, a sopho-more, was the medalist at

sections with 153. She has won medalist honors sever-al times this season includ-ing all six Lake Conference meets as well as four other invitationals. Her goal next week is to win the Class AAA state tournament after finishing third last season. “I know she’d like to do better than that,” her coach Bob Boldus said. “There’s definitely some great golfers up there. To win means a lot because of the great golfers that come out of the state.” Her teammates Kristi Opatz, Anna Drahos, Kelly Uhrich, Sam Peterson and Shannon Deutsch will join her at state next week. “It’s all six golfers that really play a part,” coach Bob Boldus said. Opatz had the second-lowest average in the Lake Conference this season be-hind Detlefsen. She was 37th at state last season as well.

Anna Drahos was 11th in the conference. “This team is incredible with the way they helped each other,” Boldus said. Uhrich has been up and down this season, shooting anywhere from a low 70 to an 85. “There’s better golf com-ing her way,” Boldus said. “She’s a big part of the team’s success.” Sam Peterson and Shan-non Deutsch round out the lineup. “They’re not just good golfers, but they add a lot of support to the other girls on the team,” Boldus said. “They keep it light. Some of the other girls can take it pretty seriously and they keep it fun. You need those kind of players.” The girls aren’t going up to Bunker Hills on Tues-day through Thursday for state to enjoy the nice golf course. They want to do well.

Looking at the other teams, Boldus said he’d like to see Eastview finish in the top three. “We can really make some noise up there,” Bol-dus said. “We can give the top two teams a real go at it.” The secret to playing well in golf is finding some con-sistency. For Eastview the key will be staying in the now and worrying only about your-self, according to Boldus. “I try to keep them in the present and not think about the score,” he said. “It’s a big course, so I try to make sure they don’t get ahead of themselves. “If you play against someone else, you’re not playing your own game. It’s more of a mind set.” At sections, Eagan was third with 715, Rosemount fourth with 716 and Apple Valley fifth with 775. Rosemount’s Molly Fly-

nn will also make the trip to state after qualifying in-dividually. Eagan’s Jessica Braun and Jordy Drenttel also qualified.

Section 3AAA boys The Eagan boys golf team won the Section 3AAA title with a team score of 609 at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rap-ids on June 4. Dylan Fodor led the team with 152, Nick Kuchera 154, Ryan Lutz 155, Jack Kaupa and Evan Kvittem carded 155. Derick Kuchera totaled 159. Other area qualifiers include Max Tylke from Eastview, who scored 149. His teammate Sam Chris-tian will join him after shooting 154. From Apple Valley, Aaron Michaelson qualified with 154.

For every senior athlete, the goal is to qualify for state. They’ve been playing their sport for several years and it’s their last chance to reach the pinnacle of high school sports. Eagan High School’s boys lacrosse team is head-ed to the state tournament for the first time thanks to a strong showing from its senior players. With 18 seniors, this was Eagan’s last chance for many reasons. “We knew we had to do it this year,” coach Bob Fel-ter said. “This is the smart-est team I’ve ever had. We have a bunch of honor stu-dents on the team. We can tell them to do anything.” Eagan has been putting the pieces together for sev-eral years. The team has qualified for the section fi-nals several times, but could never get past Eastview. This year Eagan didn’t have to, as Eastview lost to Apple Valley in the section semifinals. The Eagan boys lacrosse team won the Section 3 tournament on June 4 de-feating Apple Valley 10-4 in the finals. Although Eagan players have made it to state before on a cooperative club team, this is the first time since la-crosse was added as a var-sity sport at Eagan the team has qualified for state. Chris Bowen led the team with three goals and

one assist. Kyle Harren also had three goals. Kyle Sturgeon, Will Hersmann, Kyle Grovenstein and Luke Thiele each had a goal as well. Lucas Peterson led with seven saves in goal. While the Wildcats rou-tinely put up double-digit goals every game, it’s the defense that has made the difference this year. “They’re not afraid of anything on defense,” Felter said. “Nobody can beat us with two people.” Only two teams have scored double-digit goals against Eagan this season: Eden Prairie and Breck. The Breck game was a month ago and Eden Prai-rie was two. The Wildcats have held teams to six or fewer goals in the last five games. With plenty of experi-ence on their side, the Wild-

cats were able to mix up their game plan frequently this season. It took a few weeks, but once Eagan set-tled on its offensive and de-fensive strategies, winning soon followed. “We worked on a cou-ple different packages this year,” Hersmann said. “The coaches brought in a more complex offense.” Hersmann has been through almost everything with Eagan. He’s been on varsity for the past three years working toward be-coming the team’s leading scorer who wins 65 percent of face-offs. “Not many players can say that,” Felter said. “I would take him over anyone else in the state.” But he’s not the only rea-son Eagan made it to the state tournament. With 18 seniors on the team, several

players can get to the net on any given night or stop their opponents from getting close to goalkeeper Peter-son. “There’s been so many different players who stepped up this year,” Hers-mann said. Seniors such as Herren, Bowen, Sturgeon, Brad Dubbink, Grovenstein and Thiele can put up a few goals at any time. Eagan drew the No. 3 seed in the state tournament thanks to a 12-4 record. The Wildcats will played Totino-Grace at 8 p.m. on Thurs-day. With a win, Eagan would play the winner of the Be-nilde-St. Margaret’s and Wayzata contest at 8 p.m. on Friday at Mounds View High School in the state fi-nals. The third-place game is

scheduled for 6 p.m.



The Dakota United Hawks made it to the state finals in the CI division of the state adapted soft-ball tournament where the team lost to Anoka-Hennepin 12-3 to finish in second place. On the way to the finals, Dakota United defeated Chanhassen/Prior Lake/Shakopee 11-3 in the quar-terfinals and South Subur-ban 13-3 in the semifinals. Steven Kubinski, Matt Johnson, and Joe Sandey were named to the CI All Tournament team.

PI takes third The Dakota United

Hawks PI team bounced back after a tough 13-0 loss to eventual champion Robbinsdale /Hopkins /Mound-West to take third place in the state tourna-ment last weekend. Dakota United de-feated Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville in the third-place game 13-11 to take home the bronze. The Hawks also defeated Os-seo 10-7 in the quarterfi-nals. Alex Thompson and Thomas Bowlin were named to the PI All Tour-nament team.

Groups Calendar


Road construction be-gins next week on 140th Street between Pennock Av-enue and McAndrews Road in Apple Valley. The 1.3-mile stretch of road will remain open to traffic during the construc-tion period of June 14 to Aug. 27, but traffic will be limited to one lane each di-rection within the construc-tion zone. Improvements at the Garden View Drive/140th Street intersection will cause periods of closure of the north and south legs of Garden View Drive; a de-tour route will be provided. Consisting of “full-depth pavement reconstruction,” the project when complet-ed will provide a smoother ride for the approximately 12,000 vehicles that trav-el 140th Street between Pennock and McAndrews each day, according to the city. The Garden View Drive/140th Street intersec-tion is especially in need of a makeover, said city engi-neer Colin Manson. “Currently, that’s a pret-ty rough transition through

that intersection,” Manson said. The project also includes the addition of a pedestrian trail on the south side of 140th Street between Guth-rie Avenue and Hayes Road, on the northern edge of the Apple Valley High School campus. The trail’s construction began in late May and is already “nearly complete,” Manson said. Work on the 1/4-mile trail is expected to be finished no later than June 30. The 140th Street project carries an estimated price tag of $1.1 million. The city has received federal fund-ing through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which will cover about half the cost of the project, with the city footing the re-mainder. Construction updates, along with the detour route for the Garden View Drive/140th Street intersec-tion closures, will be posted on the city’s website, www.cityofapplevalley.org.


Road construction along 140th Street starts June 14

Garden View Drive will be closed
