Community members gathered at Farmington High School on Friday, May 10, as Farmington Royalty members unveiled their new float. The silver and black streamers gleamed in the sun, and a rail along the edge features a black and white cutout of the downtown storefronts. The scholarship pageant includes community parades where the girls serve as ambassadors for Farmington, waving from the new float. After the unveiling, the candidates had their first judged event in a “Meet the Candidates” interview session. The Farmington Royalty Coronation is a part of the Dew Days festivities at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 11 at Boeckman Middle School. For a schedule of candidate appearances, visit farmingtonroyalty.com.

It’s a special time of the year for high school students. It is the season for elaborate proposals, corsages, limousine rides, perfect dresses, dinner reservations, dancing and memories. It can be a wild time for high school students during prom season. But, how wild, exactly? Behind all the excitement stand anxious parents and the watchful eyes of safety officers. “Kids are having a great time, but kids will be teenagers,” Rosemount High School dean of students Drew Storley said. “You want them to think carefully; make sure it stays a celebration and not something else.” Prom, homecoming and graduation are annual causes for celebration, but they can be magnets for trouble.

Mormon church sponsoring an alternative to prom Idea founded by students from Lakeville by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Crystal Mormon Church in Minneapolis is holding its second annual “Mormon Prom” from 7-10 p.m. Saturday. This is the second year for the event. Last year, students from Lakeville organized a dance for their church as an alternative to those put on by area high schools. “Two or three years ago some of the youths had gone to prom and had bad experiences because of the music and the way the students were carry-

Garofalo votes yes on gay marriage

A late amendment to legislation allowing gay marriage in Minnesota turned state Rep. Pat Garofalo’s vote from “no” to “yes” last Thursday. The Farmington representative, who attends All Saints Catholic Church in Lakeville, said it was a “religious freedom amendment” that turned the tide for the five-term Republican. Garofalo was one of four Republican House members to approve the bill in the 75-59 margin. The Senate followed with a 37-30 vote Monday to pass the bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday. Garofalo stressed the importance of the amend-

The Farmington Police Department no longer offers citizens the opportunity to ride along with an officer and get a feel for what the officers do. Police Chief Brian Lindquist told City Council members at a workshop Monday, May 13, that ridealongs are too much of a liability and mitigation. “My job is to protect you guys and the cops and citizens, and part of that is to mitigate reliability as much as we can,” Lindquist said. He said that if a police officer has to worry about a passenger in the car during a response call gone wrong, then that worry could get in the way of the officer’s duty. He also said the computer system has private information, and if an officer is called on a domestic assault case, for example, the citizen left in the car could access or hear private information. If someone is injured in a ride-along as well, the city could get sued and always be paying that settleSee RIDE-ALONG, 9A

Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas will retire from his job effective June 1 after this weekend’s spring graduation ceremony. (Photo submitted)

There probably is no greater local economic engine than Dakota County Technical College. The man behind the wheel of that vehicle for the past 13 years will hand over the keys not long after this weekend’s spring graduation ceremony when emotions will be running higher than usual. College President Ron Thomas, who will know many of the graduates by name along with their sto-

ries of perseverance, will emphasize those handshakes and hugs a little more, knowing that his last day is approaching fast. “I’ve enjoyed every day of it,” Thomas said on Tuesday. “It was a difficult decision. The college is doing exceptionally well. I felt it was time to start to open the next chapter of my life.” The Lakeville resident since 1999 doesn’t know what exactly that next chapter will entail, but he’s sure it will include more

trips with wife Ann to see their two sons Trent and Kalen and their families in Arizona and Washington, respectively, along with visiting his daughter, Taylor, a recent Northwestern University graduate working with the Poynter Institute in Florida. His role as father and grandfather extended to his college family, too, as he consistently went out of his way to talk to students in formal and informal settings. “That’s the greatest part of the job. That’s

when you really know what’s going on,” Thomas said in reference to discovering ways the college can better meet the needs of its graduates. With a third of its students with some college experience or a college degree, he has learned much from the returning veteran, the out-of-work electrician and the stay-athome parent who doesn’t want to stay at home anymore.

School meal prices Warrant for man accused of soliciting to rise in ISD 196 Parents and students in District Farmington minor 196 can expect school meal prices to by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for the arrest of 21-year-old Andrew William Alich after he failed to show up for his Andrew hearing on May 6 related to William two charges of soliciting a mi- Alich nor to engage in sexual conduct. The Detroit Lakes man admitted to police that he asked a 14-year-old girl to have sex with him via an electronic conversation in October 2012, according to the criminal complaint. Farmington Police retrieved the conversation from the Farmington minor where Alich asks the child to have sex with him or send a nude photo in order to have him contact a mutual acquaintance for her. Alich faces two counts of solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual conduct. Each count carries up to three years of jail time and a $5,000 fine. The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information pertaining to Alich to contact their office at 651-438-TIPS.

rise. The Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District unanimously approved a proposal to increase daily lunch prices by 10 cents and breakfast by 5 cents at all district schools. The increase is being made to meet federal requirements. The Federal Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was enacted in response to childhood obesity, requires public schools to meet new nutrition guidelines and aims to equalize the price of school meals across all districts. Although the act aims to ensure no child goes hungry, a number of families have stopped participating in the school meal program due to rising prices, said Wendy Knight, district food and nutrition coordinator. District schools have served 1,400 fewer meals per day this school year since the price increase was imposed last year. Last year’s increase was also made to meet federal requirements. -Jessica Harper

Opinion Expensive, outdated plan for Lebanon Hills will pave paradise by Maryann Passe SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Just a two minute walk into Lebanon Hills Regional Park leaves the city behind. It is a rare park where you can find isolation and a sense of wilderness without having to drive for hours. This 1,400-acre minimally developed woods and wetlands, right on the edge of the populated Twin Cities, is valuable green capital for Dakota County. By next year city life will encroach into this parkland. A 7.5 mile trail will be plowed and paved right through the middle of it. More paved trails, buildings, and parking lots are part of Dakota County Park’s proposed 10-year master plan for Lebanon Hills, a plan that will pave this paradise and turn it into just another urban park. This plan, focused on built infrastructure, is outdated and redundant. Dakota County needs a plan with vision for the kind of park we need into the future – one that maximizes Lebanon Hills’ green assets in creative and innovative ways. The proposed plan was initially de-

Guest Columnist veloped almost 15 years ago. Since then many things have changed: • There’s been a tremendous increase in park amenities and trails built throughout the immediate area and the entire Twin Cities. • There’s been a lot of green space lost in Dakota County’s urban center: Carriage Hills Golf Course, Diamond Path Horse Ranch, and soon Parkview Golf Course. • Over the past five years Lebanon Hills has become known as the Twin Cities’ destination hiking park. (Best Hiking Park in the Twin Cities - City Pages Best of 2013 issue (April 2013) and No. 1 Hiking Destination in the Twin Cities – WCCO’s CBS Minnesota website. This reputation is known and growing precisely because the park does not have any paved trails cutting through its prime hiking area. Cities around Lebanon Hills are now crisscrossed with paved trails. Only a

1.2 mile section is needed to connect an existing off-road trail to the same two endpoints of the proposed 7.5 mile trail through the park. Less than a half mile away is the High Line greenway trail. Building paved trails cost $185,000 per mile. Repaving costs, scheduled every 20 years, are $75,000 per mile. Our tax dollars are paying for all of these trails. By 2030 Dakota County is expected to have a population of half a million people. Healthy, beautiful, minimally developed green space will be an ever more valuable asset in our increasingly crowded county. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should look to the future by: • Prioritizing funding away from built infrastructure. These are costly, often redundant, and degrade. Put these same dollars into woods and wetland restoration. Environmental investments appreciate over time with minimal long-term maintenance costs. • Building the park’s programming (classes and events) to bring people into the park. Lebanon Hills has shamefully few programs and staff for a park of its size. Personal nature experiences are necessary for our own health and the

long term health and preservation of the park. If people know the park they will care for it. • Providing more than trails for disabled visitors. Visitors of all abilities deserve to experience the unique space and sense of wilderness of Lebanon Hills. The master plan should be innovative in this area. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should maximize both our tax dollars and the park’s unique green capital by visioning a park for the future. Now is the time to recognize the value of this rare asset. Adjacent neighborhoods, cities and Dakota County will reap economic and quality-of-life benefits if we do. What will be our legacy for Lebanon Hills Regional Park, paradise or pavement? Send your comments to planning@ co.dakota.mn.us. A final open house with the Dakota County Parks Department on the proposed plan will be held sometime in early June.

Paideia, Seven Hills students win awards in statewide writing contest by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Tarek Selim, Cy Alexander and Maya Morgan recently earned honors in a statewide Minnesota charter public school writing contest that attracted more than 2,200 entries. Youngsters were asked to describe their best day in school. Whether you’re a parent or an educator, I think you’ll learn a lot by asking this question at the end of the year. Cy and Tarek, first-graders at Paideia Academy in Apple Valley, wrote unusually long, detailed essays for their age. Cy tied for second in the division with an essay that began, “One day my friend and Max and I noticed that all the teachers had longer fang teeth than normal. ‘We have to do something! Our school is being run by vampires. ...’ “At recess we determined to save the school. Before the last bell, the whole school gathered. ... The principal spoke:

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan ‘You probably noticed something different about your teachers today. We are vampires.’ All the kids screamed. ... Then all of the teachers reached into their mouths and pulled out the whole top row of their teeth. April Fools!” Tarek wrote the best day of school “is the first day of any grade because you get a new teacher. ... You never know if your teacher might be a creature. ... Most of the time it’s a human being. If you have a class pet, it might be a ‘drabit’ which is a combination of a dragon and a gerbil.” Maya Morgan, a first-grader at Seven Hills Classical Academy in Bloomington

won a third place for a detailed description of a field trip she went on. (Editor’s note: Maya’s text is unchanged from how she originally wrote it.) She wrote, in part, “I liked the (field trip) because we made glowdow. I was nrves (nervous) when we went there. But I’m not nerves any more.” The top winner in the K-2 division, by a St. Paul second-grader, contained a surprise. Vincent Smith Jr. believes his best day in school was when “I got suspended for punching a classmate. I had not been behaving well in school. I have been rude. I have been talking and fighting instead of working.” He continued, “Getting suspended got me thinking. My dad is in prison, but he often calls me. He is good, but he did something bad. I figured I was the same. I am good, but I do bad things. Being bad is not cool. The day I got suspended was my best day because it helped me change. Now I stay away from trouble. I

have become a role model. It feels great to be a leader and not a follower.” Finally, Denisse Sanchez, a Minneapolis 10th-grader, was awarded first place among high school students. She wrote that formerly, “I hated school and had all F’s.” Then she and her English class read an essay by James Baldwin. It reminded her that “Mom and David never finished high school and now are living the life of poverty. ... I want something bigger and better in life. ... The only way to do that is to get an education.” TCF Foundation cosponsored the writing contest and provided cash awards for the best essays.

Letters Thanks go to Pat Garofalo for his vote To the editor: As the local chairman of Democrats in Farmington and Lakeville, and as a strong believer in equal rights and fairness for everybody, I want to commend Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, for voting yes to allow same-sex couples to have the same freedom and legal rights to marry that many of us already have. I am proud that the Minnesota DFL took the initiative to tackle this subject despite the impending threat by Republicans that this will divide the state like nothing since the Civil War. Garofalo simply voted to let people make their own life choices without government limiting their abilities to do so. That idea of letting people “make their own life choices” is why I find it funny that Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, who regularly uses the term “nanny state” to describe Minnesota laws, voted to let our Minnesota government continue to make the decision for citizens about who they can or cannot marry. As Thompson and his nanny

state hypocrisy embarks on a run to try and defeat Gov. Mark Dayton, I am thankful that Dayton also supports this legislation, and that two of the three people who represent me in state government said yes to this bill giving people more freedom. My thanks go out to Dayton and Garofalo. STEVE QUIST Farmington Chairman of the DFL Senate District 58

Bills stood tall in campaign To the editor: The so-called “embarrassing position” that U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills has regarding global warming as professed by Dan Newbauer in his recent letter is actually backed by many great scientific minds that have investigated and come to their own conclusions regarding global warming. However, their research and reports weren’t put on the front page of mainstream papers. Bad science, which gave the “wished for” (aka more profitable) conclusions, was propagated instead. The scandal and cover up were discovered but not widely reported.

One might have to do some homework to uncover the truth, but don’t let the facts get in the way of a good agenda. It’s too bad Newbauer was so busy drinking the Kool-Aid that he completely missed the fact that fat cat radicals, such as Al Gore and Michael Moore, have profited immensely and are laughing all the way to the bank. As soon as the truth was no longer “convenient,” a mere change in slogan to global cooling sufficed. What’s next, global trending? Yes, it was. That’s not good science, that’s called good marketing. Just follow the money. The PC police and the progressive movement have caused our country to lose its way. Big government has slowly taken over huge portions of the U.S. economy as most stood idly by or actively promoted the loss of many of our freedoms. I’m tired of the pointless and ridiculous commentary of the uninformed, as well as the mudslinging of the agenda driven hypocrites, many of whom don’t fact check … yet they vote. Rather than thanking Bills (one of the best teachers District 196 has ever had) for having the courage and willingness

to sacrifice so much to run for office with the hope of waking people up from their hazy slumber, Newbauer chose to chastise him publicly by parroting the same old same old, and for what purpose? My guess is he hopes that anyone who read it will automatically believe it is true, just because it was in the paper. Perhaps if “global warming” is repeated enough, people will swear it’s the gospel truth. KATHLEEN ROGERS Rosemount

Support our soldiers To the editor: On July 20 at 1100 hours I will be participating in the Tough Mudder in Somerset, Wis., for the second consecutive year. This brutal 12 mile, 22 obstacle mud bath was designed by British Special Forces for the purpose of raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. Last year, thanks to many local residents, my donation link raised over $5,000. Nothing I’ve done has given me more pride than donating those funds to our wounded military heroes. It’s easy to get caught up in our everyday life and all its freedom and forget the reason we have it and those who have made it possible. Let this letter be a reminder of why we enjoy all we have. As American citizens it’s our responsibility to help rebuild the broken lives of those who have sacrificed so much on our

behalf. I am asking for help because these proud soldiers won’t. This is an opportunity to show how much we care about them for all they have done for us. Please do what you can and in return I will represent each one of you with my maximum effort on July 20. Thank you for your support and God bless America!

Opposes trail plan at Lebanon Hills park

tentment. On more than one occasion, I have fallen to my knees and wept over the sheer beauty of the natural setting. Even on days when the parking lot is full, it seems as though you can walk for miles without bumping into another soul. This must have been the original intention of the planners, and, for that, I am grateful. When I read a recent article about the proposed changes to Lebanon Hills I was saddened and heartbroken. I often embrace change; however, the change to pave over Lebanon Hills does not seem necessary. My husband and I are avid bike riders and we feel so fortunate to be able to have access to numerous bikes trails within minutes of our house in Eagan. We do not feel adding pavement/ bike trails to Lebanon and disrupting the natural landscape is worth the investment. The money used to add the unnatural pavement would be better spent by enhancing the bridges and the wooden picnic areas throughout the park. Adding pavement near Schulze Lake Beach seemed unnecessary, as the functional trail already existed. It obviously also took away from the splendor of the shoreline. I encourage the county to reconsider going forward with the plan to add pavement to the most beautiful park and do your part to keep Lebanon Hills a “Forever Wild” park.

To the editor: As a resident of Eagan since 1994, I feel fortunate and blessed to live close to one of the most gorgeous parks and trails. My family and I have traveled to many different parks and trails in the country. While many of our destinations are quite beautiful, we always say: “Yes, but it is no Lebanon Hills.” My family and I have used various trails, beaches, boating and quiet picnic areas that Lebanon Hills offers. We are never tired of the breathtaking natural views no matter what the season. Lebanon Hills is a place for me and so many others to go and “get lost” in the quiet beauty of nature. I have spent countless days CHERI HAHN walking each trail finding Eagan peace and a sense of con-

Education Budget adjustments likely in District 196â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future Board considers fall levy referendum by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

and tax relief efforts. Even if voters approve an increased levy, the district will be forced to make budget adjustments of up to $6 million in 2014-15 and up to $18 million in 2015-16. These adjustments would be a combination of cuts, fee increases and wage freezes. Solomon noted that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repayment of the K-12 funding shift imposed for several years will do little to help the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial picture. The district would face deeper adjustments of up to $23 million in 201415 and up to $19 million if voters deny a levy increase. Budget woes are not new to District 196, which has made $34 million in adjustments since 2009. Although the district didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make new adjustments in 2012-13 and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to in 201314, it continues to impose its four-year pay freeze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can expect to make no pay increases much longer,â&#x20AC;? Board Member Rob Duchscher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It encourages employees to migrate out of the district.â&#x20AC;?

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will likely face budget adjustments in the next two years due to state funding shortfalls, officials say. The amount of adjustments will depend upon state funding over the next three school years, said Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196. Funding for K-12 education has increased by 5 percent since 2008, which is less than inflation, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. State funding accounts for the largest portion of the District 196â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue. The Minnesota House is currently considering a proposal to increase K-12 funding by 2 percent in 2013-14 and in 2014-15, which would amount to $104 per pupil or $3.2 million in District 196. The Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal is for a 1 percent increase in 2013-14 and no increase in 2014-15. The 2013-14 increase would amount to a $52 per pupil or $1.6 million more in funding for District 196. For planning purposes, Jessica Harper is at jessica. district officials expect harper@ecm-inc.com or the Legislature will pass facebook.com/sunthisweek. a 1 percent increase for both years.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington Girl Scouts spend hundreds of hours volunteering Court of Awards Ceremony honors Scouts of all ages, troops get Bronze and Gold Awards by Theresa Malloy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

About 330 Farmington Girl Scouts dedicated hundreds of hours to volunteering in the community this school year, including volunteering at the Trinity Care Center, working at the food shelf, adopting soldiers, raking leaves and cleaning up ponds. “We’re really trying to make them give back,” said parent and Junior Troop 25013 co-leader Jeanne Nelson. At the Court of Awards ceremony on Friday, May 10, more than 80 girls gathered to share and celebrate all the projects they did this year. Some troops received top honors including two fifth-grade Junior troops that received the Bronze Award for 20 hours of community service and three 11th-grade Cadets who received the top honor of the Gold Award for a project that included 80 hours of service. Maggie Kielas was one of the girls honored for the Gold Award who started and directed a children’s choir at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Farmington. “Music has always been what I loved to do,” she said. “I wanted to do something with music. It’s been a good experience.” Kielas, a Girl Scout for 12 years, said she worked with a choir of four girls, and it was not the easiest feat. She quickly learned lessons on politics, running into some adults who were not as supportive as they could have been. “I’ve had a ton of fun learning about music,” she said. Jennifer Elfering, another Cadet earning her Gold Award spent her 80 hours at Dakota Woodlands in Eagan where she raised money to help remodel a teen room, restyled a bedroom and helped removed clothes from a donation room, so it could be converted into cleaning supply storage space. “At the end, it was hard to walk away from the work I did,” Elfering wrote in the program. “I made a brochure for Dakota Woodlands, explaining my project, so other people in the future can continue to make it a better place by donating their time and efforts as I did.” Junior Troop 25013 earned its Bronze Award by collecting non-perishable food items for Mission Outpost in Burnsville. The troop hosted the Court of Awards and collected food donations from the more than 80 Girl Scouts who attended and their parents. The Bronze Award was also given to Junior Troop 22301. For their project “First Aid, Pay it Forward,” the girls learned about administering emergency aid to people with asthma and allergies, then they taught these skills to their peers.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE May 16, 2013

Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas congratulates a graduate during a recent commencement. (Photo submitted) THOMAS, from 1A sations, he has helped the college focus on its mission to provide education for employment. Thomas sums up the college’s efforts in one word – opportunity. He said the partnerships that have been formed during the past 13 years have strengthened the college’s ties with Dakota County. “I knew we had more opportunities out there,” he said of when he came to DCTC after serving as president of Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, Kan. Aside from giving employment opportunities to the estimated 5,000 forcredit students and 6,500 in specialized training, the college has partnered with businesses and industries to identify areas in which the college can provide training to current or future employees.

Those partnerships have been forged with such companies as Uponor, Thomson Reuters and General Motors. Whether through customized training, internships or school-to-work programs, the college is cooperating with more than 200 businesses, educational institutes and community groups. In an effort to meet the needs of its students, whose average age is 32, the college has created an estimated 130 new programs in the past 10 years. Thomas said that is reflective of the college’s philosophy – to respond to employment needs and turn out highly-skilled workers. Among those new programs were the establishment of the IT Training Center in Eagan (1999) and Partners in Higher Education in Apple Valley (2003). One year later, the

Entrepreneurship/Small Business program expanded at the Partners’ site and the two-year Nanoscience Technology program was launched. “When they go out into the job market, they are well prepared,” Thomas said. “When our students are ready to graduate, they are fine-tuned for the workplace.” The college has been able to fulfill its role by having outstanding faculty and staff, according to Thomas. “This is a great college,” he said. “It is well respected through the state, region and the U.S.,” Thomas said. Thomas said he is leaving the college a better place than when he found it 13 years ago. That’s a legacy all those who have been touched by the college can appreciate.

They told us to “Live someplace else.” We have rights. We called HUD. We found a three-bedroom apartment we loved in a great neighborhood with good schools and a beautiful park. But the landlord told us to live someplace else that would be better for our family. We filed a complaint with HUD, and now we have a wonderful place to live.

ment offered by Rep. David FitzSimmons, RAlbertville, on “civil marriage” going onto the bill as a reason for his vote. “For me I was a ‘no’ vote on the bill, until Representative FitzSimmons offered his religious freedom amendment to protect churches and faithbased organizations,” Garofalo said. “And ultimately, that’s what moved me to a ‘yes’ vote.” That provision, Garofalo said, was his “price for voting ‘yes.’ ” “The lawyers say this is strongest religious freedom legislation in the nation,” Garofalo said. FitzSimmons, with a go-ahead from House bill author Rep. Karen Clark, DFL-Minneapolis, a lesbian lawmaker, successfully amended the bill to insert the word “civil” in references to marriage. FitzSimmons, who voted for the bill, said the addition of the word was to make plain that what happens in the courthouse and what happens in a church, synagogue, or mosque in terms of marriage are two different things. Clark’s legislation contained a provision stating religious organizations, associations, or societies have sole control over their doctrine and that a licensed or ordained minister cannot be fined, penalized or subject to civil liability for refusing to solemnize a marriage for any reason. FitzSimmons’ provision was not enough for other area Republicans in the House or Senate to vote yes. Sen. Dan Hall, a volunteer police and fire department chaplain in Burnsville, a former volunteer chaplain at the Capitol and the founder and former CEO of the nonprofit Midwest Chaplains, said the legislation could spark civil disobedience. “Don’t fool yourself today,” Hall said of thinking the vote ended the samesex marriage debate. “This document will split our schools, our churches our towns, our counties our state,” he said. “It will hurt businesses and confuse children, more than any single issue has ever done since the Civil War.” “People ask me, ‘Senator Hall, don’t you want to be on the right side of history?’ The truth is, I’m more concerned about being on the right side of eternity,” Hall said. Rep. Pam Myhra, RBurnsville, said children have a right to have a mother and father. Another Republican representative who has figured prominently in the gay-marriage debate has been Mary Liz Holberg of Lakeville. For a time, Holberg carried the amendment legislation while then-Sen. Michele Bachmann carried it in the Senate. Anti-amendment advocates at rallies once wore T-shirts with photos of Holberg and Bachmann

on the front. Asked whether conservatives were on the wrong side of history in regard to same-sex marriage, Holberg questioned it. “I don’t know if it’s the wrong side. I think we’re on the side of the majority of Minnesotans,” she said prior to last Thursday’s vote. Holberg carried the amendment the first time because she chaired the House Civil Law Committee and was concerned about perceived judicial activism. “But others wanted to take up the banner, and that was fine with me,” Holberg said. The marriage debate has been emotional. “There were threats on my family’s life. I wasn’t allowed to be outside the Capitol alone,” Holberg said. Republicans were spit on in the Capitol corridors after passing the amendment two years ago, she said. But she would temper her comments, Holberg said, by adding she has had conversations with Sen. Scott Dibble, DFLMinneapolis, Senate marriage legislation bill author. “And many of those bad things he suffered as well. So I think the bad behavior occurs on both sides on the issue,” Holberg said. Holberg has found the marriage debate frustrating. She recalled meeting with a woman who told her she would change her mind about same-sex marriage if she attended a corn feed that the sister put on. “It’s pretty sad, because that’s not what this about. It’s not about people being nice,” Holberg said. “It’s about a definition of marriage and what that means.” When asked if she thought the state would legalize same-sex marriage prior to the vote, Holberg said: “I don’t think Minnesota is there yet. I really don’t.” Recent polls suggest Minnesotans remain divided over same-sex marriage. An April KSTP/SurveyUSA poll showed a bare majority of Minnesotans, 51 percent, favored changing state law to legalize same-sex marriage. According to The Williams Institute’s analysis of the 2010 U.S. Census, there were some 10,207 same-sex couples living in Minnesota, representing 4.9 same-sex couples per 1,000 households. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Minnesota ranks 23rd among the states and Washington D.C. in terms of same-sex couples.

Issue discussed Garofalo said he spoke to some local Republicans about his intentions prior to last Thursday’s vote. He believes he has their support. “The response from conservatives has been overwhelmingly positive,” Garofalo said.

“Religious freedom is a very important issue in my district. A critical issue. And people understand my motivations and are very supportive of it,” he said. Civil unions would have been a better choice than the legislation passed by the House, Garofalo said. “(But) I feel like given the position power I have (as a House minority member), I thought it was the best I could do,” Garofalo said. One Republican lawmaker who has taken tough votes and been sanctioned for them by his caucus is Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka. He believes Garofalo had the right to make up his own mind. “My opinion is people have the right to vote their conscience on these social, moral issues,” Abeler said. Abeler doesn’t foresee Garofalo running afoul of the House Republican Caucus, or, for that matter, the Republican Party. “It would be just their locals,” he said. “If they represented their locals well, nothing will happen.” Carleton College Political Science Professor Steven Schier said the marriage vote could dog Garofalo. “Regardless of broader district opinion, active Republicans in their districts are likely to have strongly opposed gay marriage and will not forget this vote at the endorsement conventions,” he said. A Democrat who did not flinch pushing the green “yes” button was first-year Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan. “I’m going to vote for equity,” Halverson said prior to last Thursday’s vote. “Personally, it’s something that I have known my truth about for a very, very long time,” she said. Halverson came to this truth, in part, by observing the love in same-sex families, she said. She’s hopeful the marriage vote won’t become campaign fodder. “What I’ve heard from constituents falls very much in favor of (marriage) equity,” she said. The decision for Halverson may have been made easier by last fall’s amendment vote. In House District 51B, Halverson’s district, about 38 percent, voted “yes.” Halverson said during the floor debate that families aren’t all the same. For instance, her children are adopted. “(But) when it comes to moms, they don’t get more real than me,” she said. Currently Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, Washington D.C., New York, Maine, Washington, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Delaware have legalized same-sex marriage.

“It’s anecdotal – I don’t have any stats – but without a doubt anybody who sees the faces on these kids and sees what they’re talking about afterward, they take it seriously,” Storley said. “One thing that really surprises them is how long it takes for the emergency services to respond. They see in movies and TV, the ambulance arrives right away. They’re seeing it drawn out in real time and seeing their peers involved.” Storley has been helping organize prom at Rosemount for 17 years. “I almost never have anything negative,” he said. “I’ve never had to recognize any discipline issue. The kids have built up this moment as the end-all, be-all event of the year, so they’re not going to take any risks.” Rosemount’s prom once again will be at the Great Hall in St. Paul. Grand march begins at 5:30 p.m. and dancing starts at 8:30 p.m. About 30 adults will be present as chaperones in addition to the on-staff security.

a mock crash Thursday in the school parking lot where juniors and seniors witnessed what happens when alcohol mixes with driving. It involved two cars, one carrying a parent and child, and another filled with Rosemount students dressed for prom. Police and an ambulance were called to help who they could before making arrests. Perhaps one of the more effective reminders is that the cars used were destroyed in accidents caused by drinking and driving. A helicopter airlifts one of the students away while a funeral home comes to gather the fatalities. All of the juniors and seniors were 50 feet from the action that aimed to reinforce that, over the last three years, 30 Minnesota teens died in vehicle crashes from April to June The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says traffic crashes are the leadning cause of death for Minnesota teens. There’s also a program for ninth- and 10th-graders featuring

three speakers whose lives have been affected forever by driving-related accidents, along with a panel discussion. Several of the speakers have had a family member or someone close to them die in an alcohol-related accident, but two spoke about distracted driving and the importance of wearing a seat belt. “You have a lot of kids that say it will never happen to me because I don’t drink, but we try to show them that one quick decision can change a life,” Storley said. Rosemount holds the event every other year so every student will experience the presentation before graduation. “It’s pretty powerful stuff,” Storley said. “Some kids don’t realize how powerful it is. We always have special ed services and counseling services available. Everybody has different circumstances. For some it might hit a little to close to home.”

Sports Doubleheader sweeps fuel Irish’s turnaround After forgettable 2012 season, baseball team climbs above .500 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sweeping doubleheaders can do all kinds of good things for a baseball team’s record – and its psyche. The revamped South Suburban Conference schedule has resulted in numerous doubleheaders. Last week, Rosemount played two, twice. The Irish swept Eagan and Bloomington Jefferson and moved above .500. Rosemount was 7-6 overall and 7-5 in the South Suburban Conference going into Wednesday’s game against Bloomington Kennedy. “The schedule all of us are playing tests how much pitching you have,” Rose-

mount coach Chris Swansson said. “In a normal season, you’d use your top pitcher at the beginning of the week and sometimes at the end of the week. This year teams have to use a lot more pitchers.” Last week Rosemount beat Eagan 7-6 and 2-1, then swept Bloomington Jefferson 14-11 and 9-5. Pitching helped keep the Irish in the games, and they also showed an ability to come back. In their first game at Jefferson, they trailed 11-5 before coming back to win. In the first game of the Eagan doubleheader the Irish fell behind 6-0 in the first inning before coming back to win in 11 innings.

The comebacks “come from guys taking good at bats, making plays in the field, that kind of thing,” Swansson said. “And the pitchers have to throw strikes. We played 18 innings in our doubleheader against Eagan. We had one pitcher who threw 8 1/3 innings and one who pitched nine. Both were below 100 pitches, which tells you they threw strikes.” Jake Schulze remains the Irish’s No. 1 starting pitcher. Luke Dahl, a sophomore, also has thrown consistently well, Swansson said, and Ben Smith, Alex Hassebroek and Nick Seipel have given the Irish innings. Dahl pitched a complete

game Monday against defending state Class AAA champion Eastview even though he wound up with a 4-3 loss. Only two of Eastview’s runs were earned. Swansson said the Irish have had hitting contributions throughout the lineup. Jordan Turner, the leadoff hitter, is batting close to .400 and senior catcher Anthony Winter was at .385. Seipel had eight RBI in the Jefferson doubleheader, while senior Danny Farris has hit about .650 in Rosemount’s last six games. Rosemount plays a doubleheader at South Suburban Conference leader Lakeville North at 3 p.m. Friday. The Irish are home against Apple Valley in

a doubleheader at 3 p.m. Monday, May 20, and close the regular season at home against Simley at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday. After the Irish limped to a 5-16 record last season, the Lakeville North doubleheader, in particular, could show them just how much progress they have made. “That’s going to be a big test, especially against a team that could be the No. 1 seed in our section,” Swansson said.

and it will be dedicated between games of Monday’s doubleheader against Apple Valley. It will be dedicated in honor of former Irish coach Craig Kusick, and Kusick’s number (44) will be on the new scoreboard. Kusick, a former Minnesota Twins player, coached in Rosemount’s baseball program for 23 years, including 13 as the head varsity coach. His teams reached the state tournament seven times, including six years in a row from Scoreboard 1993-98. In 2004, he was diagnosed with myelodysdedication plastic syndrome, a condiRosemount High School tion that can result in leukewill have a new scoreboard mia.

Athletes materializing as contenders for Tigers Farmington track and field teams anxious for conference meet will draw some of the athletes that aren’t out for a spring sport next year,” Helmstetter said.

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With the Missota Conference championships on the horizon, the Farmington boys track and field team is feeling good about its prospects. The Tigers are coming off a second-place finish at the Section 1AAA True Team meet last week and a victory at the Missota Conference Relays the week before. “The boys are buying into the team approach we have been sending as coaches,” head coach Brian Helmstetter said. “They know the competition is who they will be facing in a couple weeks to go to state in individuals, so it was exciting to see their success and it should give them some confidence and energy moving forward.” The next big meet for the Tigers is the Missota Conference championships May 23 at Chanhassen High School. Helmstetter’s goal is to make the top three. “We have great depth in the running events, but to win conference, we will need to have great individual performances and get two or three athletes in the top 10, which will be difficult,” Helmstetter said. “We will need some athletes in the field events to take a leap forward in the next week, which is more than possible with the kids that we have.” Tyler Lerbakken is one of those athletes with high expectations. He’s has been the anchor for the distance runners for years and his times are dropping fast. “He is a huge part of both our 4x400-meter and 4x800 relays and ran his best open 800 of his career on Tuesday (at the True Team section meet),” Helmstetter said. “He leads by example and his teammates follow his approach.” Distance runner Justin Hyytinen emerged last year and it car-

Another athlete who burst onto the scene in 2013 is Nehemiah Rockett, who “is just starting to get a taste of what he is capable of doing,” Helmstetter said. Rockett, a sophomore, was second in the 300 hurdles at the True Team section meet. “He will only get better and has some lofty goals over the next three years that I believe he can achieve as he gets stronger,” Helmstetter said. Tanner Grubb, Jared Wolt and Tommy Weigel have also jumped onto the scene this season. “They are all fun to watch,” Helmstetter said. “Grubb and Wei-

gel have come on strong in the 200 and 400 this year and have been a part of both the 4x200 and 4x400 relays that have shown some success this year. “Jared Wolt has taken some huge strides, literally, this year as he has learned to stretch his stride out and that has taken seconds off of his times from last year.” Add distance runner Adam Wallenta and sprinter Alex Chadwick to the mix along with Adam Daugherty and Devon Webb, who have helped bring the 4x800 relay in around 8 minutes, 15 seconds, and the Tigers are anxious to compete. “We are excited about the youth and hope the success from this year

Tigers split with Chaska

The Tiger girls track team also is hoping for a solid showing at the Missota Conference meet next week. The girls are coming off the Section 1AAA True Team meet where they finished fourth overall, improving three spots from 2012. They did it without one of their top athletes. Nadia Lorencz, the defending state champion in the 100 hurdles and long jump, twisted her ankle in the pole vault April 30 at the Missota Conference Relays. “We are day-to-day with her and hope she can be ready for sections, but we will have to wait and see,” head coach Tom Hart said. Isabelle Ferm won the 400 and 200 at True Team and looks to extend her winning streaks to the conference and section meet. “Our goals for Izzy are to bring a good showing at our conference meet, then qualify in as many events as possible for the state meet,” Hart said. She was All-State last year in the 400, 4x400 relay and triple jump. Several other girls have become reliable point-scorers this season. Destiny Schmitz set personal records or came close in the high jump, triple jump, 100 and 300 hurdles at the True Team section meet. Maria Kiminski set a personal record in the 300 hurdles and Meghan Graham had a season best in the 400 and personal record in the 200. Morgan Cecchettini has emerged as one of the better sprinters and long jumpers in the conference. “Our goal for the conference meet is to try and be the champs, but Chanhassen looks pretty good so we will need to be sharp to achieve this goal,” Hart said.

Notebook: Rosemount aims for True Team track title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The weather has finally heated up, and so too has the high school track and field season. Several South Suburban Conference schools will send teams to the state Class AAA True Team finals Friday at Stillwater High School. All of the SSC schools are gearing up for the conference championships Tuesday and Wednesday at Eagan High School. Rosemount will try for a fifth consecutive topthree finish at the Class AAA True Team finals. SSC members Lakeville South, Lakeville North and Prior Lake are in the girls meet. Lakeville South is defending girls Class AAA True Team champion. Rosemount last won the boys True Team championship in 2011. The Irish won their eighth section True Team title in nine years last week in Apple Valley. One event to watch for the Irish boys is the 4x100meter relay, where Preston Webb, Tray Ashby-Phan, Grant Jackson and Tegan Overbey ran a schoolrecord 42.9 seconds in the section meet. It’s also the fastest reported time in that event in Minnesota this season. The Class AAA True Team finals begin at 4 p.m. Friday, with the awards ceremony scheduled for 9:15. The South Suburban meet features the state record holder in the pole vault – Lakeville South’s Lee Bares, who cleared 15-9 in the Section 1AAA True Team meet. Other top athletes include Eagan senior distance runner Danielle Anderson, Eastview jumper Ryan Lockard, Eagan sprinters Jake Gourley, Maddie Gourley and Emerald Egwim, Rosemount hurdler Rachel Schow and Lakeville South hurdler Shania Burns. Competition at the South Suburban championships begins at 3:30 p.m. both days.

Rosemount joins county 911 campaign The Rosemount Police and Fire departments, along with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, are joining “911 for All,” a new countywide campaign aimed at making it simpler for citizens to contact their public safety agencies in both emergency and nonemergency situations. “911 for All” encourages residents who want to provide information or need to request service, even nonemergency service, from their police department, fire department or ambulance service to always call 911. “Most of us were taught to only call 911 in an emergency, but, thanks to technological advanc-

es, calling 911 is now the most effective way to ask for help in any situation or to offer information about a variety of incidents,” Rosemount Police Chief Eric Werner said. Residents should dial 911 when they: • Observe suspicious activity. • Witness an accident, fire or a crime. • Need an ambulance. • Have items stolen from their car or home. • Smell a possible natural gas leak. • Have a parking complaint. • Encounter any incident that may require the response of the police, fire or ambulance personnel.

‘What Did You Say?’ author speaks up Monique Hammond at Robert Trail Library on May 21 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hearing loss was a gamechanger for Monique Hammond. Monique Unexpectedly, Hammond in a matter of just four hours in September 2005, Hammond went totally deaf in one ear. “I was teaching a class and at one point I thought, ‘Gee, I can’t hear so well,’ ” recounted the Minneapolis resident and registered pharmacist. “By 7 p.m. I was totally deaf in my left ear.” As a result of her hearing loss – which she says was brought on by a combination of loud music at a church fundraiser she attended the previous day, as well as a virus – Hammond experienced buzzing, vertigo and loss of balance. Simple tasks in her daily routine became impossible challenges. “I call it a life-changer and a career-ender – within a matter of four hours, my life changed,” she said. “I haven’t worked as a pharmacist since then.” Hammond will be sharing her story – and her research into hearing loss – at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, as part of the “Meet the Author” series spon-

sored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the library. Her book, “What Did You Say? An Unexpected Journey Into the World of Hearing Loss,” chronicles her hearing-loss ordeal and the research she undertook to understand it. Her hearingloss work earned her a governor’s appointment to the Commission for Deaf, Deafblind and Hard-of-Hearing Minnesotans, a state board on which she served from 2006 to 2012. Hammond’s talk at the Robert Trail Library will be geared to the general public, she said. “I never go anywhere without talking about noise-induced hearing loss and its prevention,” she said. “Loud-noise exposure – noisy toys, the loud surroundsound systems, the woofers in the cars – it’s 100 percent preventable and it’s a plague going through
