She also teaches Sunday school. Her work ethic comes from her parents, Angela Koloski and Greg Friesen, and her nine siblings, Alyssa, Nick, Matthew, Ryan, Brandon, Serena, Derek, Michael and Hannah. While active in many things, speech is Friesen’s love. “I’ve always loved performing and being in front of crowds,� she said. “Speech was a perfect fit.� So much so, she became a state champion, winning in a new category called great speeches. Friesen also says her choir trip to France was one Trees/from 1A Commission before City Council approval. “It was a good meeting as far as the outcomes,� said Sheri Speckan, a Fifth Street resident. “At least they are doing what they should do,� Speckan said. “We got what we wanted – the city agrees to plant trees and to make sure this does not happen again,� Speckan said. The loss of the mature trees that were estimated to have stood for more than 40 years is still hard to accept, Speckan said, but the new trees will be welcome. “That is what people look for when they come
Theft/from 1A
– we try not to think about it,� she said. “Half of my friends are staying here, the other half are going elsewhere. So we talk about the beach, or bonfires and the cabin.� For her fellow seniors, and the future ones at North, Friesen does have some advice. “Don’t be afraid to do what you want to do,� she said. “It’s cliche, but don’t let things hold you back because we all have the ability to do what we want.� Friesen wants to make a difference in people’s lives, so pediatrics, or if that doesn’t work out, being a teacher, is her plan. Friesen points to Julie Cutshall and Jennifer Baese
as two teachers who have inspired her. “They taught me to be confident even if you have to fake it, and have given me an ability to carry myself in a positive way,� Friesen said. “They have helped me become a better leader, student and person.� Friesen said she’ll miss the inclusive nature of North and the friends she’ll inevitably fall out of touch with. “There are so many ways to get involved and that inclusiveness also fosters individual talents,� Friesen said. “It’s a great school and this has been a wonderful time.�
into the downtown area; big trees and the aesthetic appeal,� Speckan said. The estimated cost to replace trees is $6,513 or $167 per tree. Trees removed on Walnut, Spruce and Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets will be considered for new tree planting. In future weeks, a city staff person will visit homeowners to find out if residents have a tree preference and location in either the boulevard or the yard, according to Schorzman. After further research, it was discovered that Spruce Street and not Walnut Street is the boulevard tree route in this area, Schorz-
man said. Resident Tim Dougherty said he was concerned about creating uniformity after learning that residents have the choice of location. The city will pay attention to uniformity, but also wants to create a good mix of trees, Schorzman said, in order to avoid a disease that could wipe out a single species. After the new trees are thriving, Dougherty said perhaps a neighborhood block party will be planned at the end of summer. “It was the right thing to do in this day and age,� Dougherty said. Speckan said she and
her husband, Eric, and neighbors feel better with the decisions made this week at city hall. “I was amazed at how many people in the community came up to talk about the trees because so many people were interested in it,� Speckan said.
card linked to the group’s account during the period when a number of “suspicious transactions� occurred. She also requested the PTO’s annual financial audit, scheduled for last May, be postponed, the document said. Miller, who has a degree in accounting and an MBA, worked for more than 20 years in the bank-
ing industry before losing her job in October 2008, shortly before the thefts began, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. Miller made her first court appearance on June 1. Her next court appearance will be June 21. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com

of the highlights of her high school career. “Our chamber chorale traveled to France last spring and sang all over Paris. We even sang at the American cemetery at the beaches of Normandy,� she said. “It was crazy. It was very powerful and emotional.� Friesen said she’s had her challenges in high school, but isn’t one to complain. “There’s so many things we could complain about and be negative about,� she said. “But why dwell? I’ve always been very optimistic.� And that’s why right now, Friesen said she’s not too focused on the end of the summer. “Most of us – my friends
