Elementary band saved, for now

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

During a special session on Wednesday evening, the Farm-ington School Board approved its much discussed budget priorities for the 2015-16 school year. With the district anticipating a $700,000 deficit, School Board members, administrators and in-terested residents tried to find cre-ative ways to fill the hole without hurting the district. I think by doing these things

next year we can still be a strong district next year, Superinten-dent Jay Haugen said. Cutting elementary band was perhaps the least popular op-tion among the administration, School Board and general public and it was saved at least for next year. We found many districts that have eliminated elementary band, it has hurt their overall program, Haugen said. Middle school sports will be realigned for 2015-16. The plan

allows for varsity high school head coaches to still have some influence over the program, ac-cording to Athletics Director Bill Tschida. The middle school volleyball team would be combined between Dodge and Boeckman middle schools. Track, tennis and wres-tling will remain the same as will the eighth-grade soccer and foot-ball programs. Middle school cross country, girls swimming and golf pro-grams will be combined with high

school. Athletic fees will increase by $30 next year, but the district will continue to bus athletes both ways to games. One proposal was to bus athletes only one way. Average class size targets will be raised by one except in kin-dergarten, first grade and middle school. To counter, the budget will include all four unallocated full-time staff positions the su-perintendent uses at his discretion

The city of Farmington has an-nounced that it plans on hiring Jim Lars-en to be the citys first full-time fire chief, according to City Administrator David McKnight. The job offer is contingent upon a successful background investigation and will go before the Farmington City Council for approval on April 6. Larsen is a United States Fire Admin-istration instructor and was one of 13 ap-plicants. The city was down to two final-ists, including Troy Corrigan, who is an assistant fire chief in Farmington. Fol-lowing an open house and several rounds of interviews, the city chose Larsen. Farmington wanted to add a full-time fire chief because the duties continued to rise due to the continued growth of Farmington. Tim Pietsch worked as a paid, on-call fire chief, but he has a full-time job outside of the department. Farmington was one of the only cities in the area of its size without a full-time chief. The Farmington Fire Department fea-tures 48 volunteers, including firefighters, fire and rescue responders, and officers. There are two fire stations in Farmington serving 75 square miles and 25,000 peo-ple.

togetherness at Farmington Relay

for Life in Julyby Jennifer Chick


Organizers are hoping a shorter event time frame for the Farmington Relay for Life will encourage more teams to sign up. The Farmington Relay for Life has been organized every summer since 1991, but this year, Connie Honrud, relay chairperson, said the relay will only last six hours instead of the 12 hours of previous years. The relay will be Friday, July 24, from 6 p.m. to mid-night at Robert Boeckman Middle School, 800 Denmark Ave., Farmington. Honrud stresses the event is not a race but a time of gathering to re-member and celebrate. Its just a great way to get together with your commu-nity friends, Honrud said. There is a ceremony and then the first lap is called the survivor lap. The event was first started in 1991 by Gretchen Bergman, Mary Juenemann, Pat Ostlie, Pat Rupp and Shirley Tix.

When we first started it, it was called Ramble and Am-ble, Bergman said. We were the second ones in the state to have that event. For many of the organiz-ers, the event is very personal for them as cancer survivors and caregivers. Honrud is a 29-year breast cancer survivor and her husband is a two-year cancer survivor. Judy Chown, publicity chairperson for the Farming-ton Relay for Life, first got

involved when a friend asked her to start a team in 2000. Later she and husband Pete Chown, sponsorship chair-person for the relay, were both diagnosed with cancer and the event took on even greater significance. It is the idea of getting together with all these people, all these people and their dif-ferent struggles, Judy Chown said. All of the support from

Music leads to hope for those in Haiti Concert to benefit St. Joseph Catholic Churchs mission trip to Haiti this summer

by Tad JohnsonSUN THISWEEK


Music is one of the no-table traditions on the Ca-ribbean island nation of Haiti. So, it seems appropri-ate that a concert by lo-cal singers will help raise money to send a group of Rosemount area residents to Haiti as the country continues to rebuild after a devastating 2010 earth-quake. The University of St. Thomas Summit Singers a mens a cappella group will perform a benefit show for St. Joseph Cath-olic Churchs 2015 adult mission trip to Haiti at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at the church. All the money raised will be used to sponsor projects and bring materi-als to Haiti. The mission trip, which is conducted through Mis-sion of Hope (www.mo-hhaiti.org), will be from July 4-11. Last year, a group of 19 members of St. Joseph traveled to the country still reeling from a 2010 earth-quake that leveled most of the structures in and around the capital city of Port-au-Prince and be-yond. The St. Joseph group was stationed in the north-ern coastal village of Sim-onette where they helped paint a three-room house

for a couple soon to be married and built a latrine. They also interacted with those in the village, talking about their liveli-hoods, faith, struggles and inspirations. They worked with leaders at the Vaca-tion Bible School in Sim-onette and served meals. The Rev. Thomas St-reit, a biological sciences professor at the University of Notre Dame, who has worked in Haiti for two decades, said in a Janu-ary 2015 commentary for CNN that Haiti still has the highest infant mortal-ity and unemployment rates in the hemisphere, as well as the lowest life ex-

pectancy and daily income. He said there is still po-litical unrest as evidenced by the countrys prime minister resigning in De-cember. Streit said the economy has been growing, helped by the current govern-ments focus on the tour-ism and education sectors. He said agricultural re-forms are making a differ-ence. He noted that other ef-forts like those to provide much-needed medical and nutritional attention are working. Streit and St. Joseph members also recognize that there is an incredible

spirit of happiness and op-timism among the Haitian people that are helping the country to recover. In the face of ex-treme poverty and a na-tion brought to ruins by a natural disaster, it almost seems impossible to find any hope, St. Joseph 2014 Haiti mission trip member Chad Berg wrote in a story for this newspaper. How-ever, we came to realize hope is one of the great-est gifts Haiti has to offer. Within our extraordinary encounters with the Hai-tian people and within our Christ-modeled service ef-forts, we collectively fos-tered a mission of hope. Berg is also a member of the Summit Singers, a group he founded as a freshman at St. Thomas

and has served as its presi-dent since then. The 2011 Rosemount High School graduate and 2007 St. Josephs School graduate arranges much of the music they perform. Berg, who also has been working with a group of RHS singers this spring who will be performing at RHS OnStage, is slated to graduate in May from St. Thomas. More about the group is at http://thesummitsingers.wix.com/summitsingers. The church is located at 13900 Biscayne Ave. W. For more information, call 651-423-4402.

state version of Ameri-Corps. Tutors receive modest stipends at the end of the school year that generally amount to $5,500 and can be ap-plied to college loans. State funding for Minnesota Reading Corps is paired with matching federal dollars that allows the program to partner with schools in reaching out to more than 15,000 students per year who struggle to reach reading proficien-cy baselines. That makes it the largest Ameri-Corps-affiliated tutoring program in the nation. The program targets children struggling with reading who have not yet been identified as requiring special educa-tion support, but is often used as an intervention program, said Hannah Davis, a tutor for the program and graduate student at the University of Minnesota. This program reach-es kids who are leaning on that support early on that can keep them from having to be in

special education later on down the line, said Davis, who plans to ob-tain her teaching license in elementary special education. She spends five days a week at High-wood Hills Elementary in St. Paul tutoring a caseload of 15 students per semester. The consistency of the program is the key, because it really helps the kids develop a sense of self as they are im-proving their reading skills.

Dramatic improvement In schools like High-land Elementary in Co-lumbia Heights, students working with reading corps tutors are not just surviving, but thriving, said Principal Michele DeWitt. Reading Corps real-ly benefits our students who use it, said DeWitt, who added that two lo-cally-based tutors come to the school and work with students in one-on-one settings. Those students end up with reading skills

proficiency (measured by state comprehen-sive assessment exams) at a rate of 75 percent, compared to their non-Reading Corps peers, who average 60 percent proficiency, she added. Although some who testified about the suc-cess of the program of-ten relied on anecdotal tales of success, others added some quantifiable context. According to a series of studies commissioned by education data ana-lyst David Heistad, the Minnesota Reading Corps program saves about $9 million annu-ally in special education costs. Heistad said data sug-gests that students par-ticipating in the program are nearly three times less likely to be referred to special education be-cause of the strides the program has helped them make in develop-ing their reading skills.

advocacy, and patient services. At dusk, walkers light luminaria (person-alized bags filled with a candle and sand) around the track in a tribute to those who have battled cancer. Last year, 22 teams participated to raise more

than $30,000 in the fight against cancer. This years goal is $34,000. Register at www.relay-forlife.org/eaganmn. Email [email protected] or contact Sara Paul at [email protected] or 651-255-8106 with questions.

Notebook: Jones heady play helps Duke reach another Final Fourby Mike Shaughnessy


Tyus Jones continued his seamless transition to college basketball last weekend by helping Duke reach another Final Four. The Apple Valley High School graduate scored 15 points and had six assists in the Blue Devils 66-52 victory over Gonzaga in the South Regional cham-pionship game Sunday in Houston. He was named Most Outstanding Player of the regional tourney. One Jones play that had people talking cant be quantified in any statistic. In the second half Jones stripped the ball from a Gonzaga player who had gotten a rebound. The ball headed over the sideline and the Gonzaga player fell to the floor out of bounds. Jones went after the ball and instead of flinging it back toward the court, he dropped the ball on the back of the Gonza-ga player, allowing Duke to retain possession. Jones is averaging 11.6 points, 5.7 assists and 3.5 rebounds for the Blue Devils. In four South Re-gional games he had 46 points and 22 assists. Duke (33-4), mak-ing its 16th appearance in the Final Four, will play Michigan State in the national semifinals at 5 p.m. Saturday in India-napolis. Wisconsin plays unbeaten Kentucky in the

other semifinal at 7:30. The championship game is Monday, April 6.

Spring is here Closer to home, many high school spring sports teams will start their reg-ular seasons next week (weather permitting, of course). That includes a full schedule of South Subur-ban Conference baseball games Monday and soft-ball games Tuesday. Lakeville North and Lakeville South, both of which qualified for the 2014 state baseball tour-nament, open Monday with North playing host to Eagan and South going to Apple Valley. In other ac-tion, Burnsville is at Rose-mount, Prior Lake plays at Farmington and East-view travels to Shakopee. All games will start at 4:15 p.m. Tuesdays first round of South Suburban softball has Prior Lake at Burns-ville, Eagan at Eastview, Apple Valley at Lakeville North and Shakopee at Rosemount in 4:15 p.m. games. Defending Class 3A champion Lakeville South plays at Farming-ton at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday also is opening day for South Suburban Conference boys tennis matches.

our family, friends and community, its a very powerful night. Its really something to see. Honrud is hoping the shorter event time frame will encourage more teams and people to sign up. Chown said if people come one year, they will want to return in future years. Teams raise funds through events and dona-tions received prior to the relay. One team of chil-dren, Kids Against Can-cer, already raised funds through a car wash this winter. We encourage one member of the team to walk the track at all times and this year, rather than the 12-hour relay, it will be six hours, Honrud said. Its not a race. Its just a walk around the track to check out all the luminarias that show those that are being rec-ognized as having cancer or those who have passed away. The whole team can walk the track all night long but it doesnt have to be a tiring thing. It doesnt need to be physically demanding. Funds raised by teams, donations from luminari-as and the silent auction held during the relay go directly to help fight can-cer through the American Cancer Societys research and to support the two Minnesota Hope Lodges available to those being treated for cancer and

their families. A great deal of the funds stay right here in our area, Honrud said. Those wishing to sign up a team or join a team should contact Honrud. People dont have to organize a team. If they want to participate, orga-nizers will help them find a team to join. In addition to partici-pating in the Relay for Life, people can contact Honrud about the lumi-narias that ring the track in honor of cancer survi-vors and those who have died from cancer. People can create their own lu-minaries or organizers can put them together for people. Farmington Relay for Life organizers are also looking for survivors to honor during a dinner at 5 p.m. preceding the relay. Survivors receive survivor shirts, goodie bags, and a meal before the event. The relay and silent auction starts at 6 p.m. with an opening ceremo-ny. One cancer survivor and one cancer caregiver speak during the open-ing ceremony. Honrud said they are still look-ing for people to speak at the event so if anyone has suggestions for speakers, they should contact her. At dusk the luminarias are lit, which participants say is an awe-inspiring site. There are also games such as a hula hoop con-test during the relay. There will be a Zumba session too. There are things for all ages, Honrud said. As part of the public-ity leading up to the relay and to raise funds, people should watch for a purple toilet, which might make an appearance during the Dew Days Parade. In the past, the purple toilet has popped up in peoples yards. It can be removed or moved to a friends yard through a donation. For more informa-tion on the relay, to sug-gest cancer survivor and caregiver speakers, or to invite survivors to the pre-relay dinner, contact Honrud at 612-720-5789 or [email protected].

Ben Cline, left, and Max Mayleben, along with fellow cast member Emma Hovde, received the Outstanding Achievement in Acting Award for their performances in Wagon Wheels a-Rollin last month at the MACT Festival, the annual state one-act festival for community theater groups. Wagon Wheels a-Rollin was presented by Lakeville-based The Plays The Thing Productions and Farmington Community Education, and the pro-duction garnered seven awards at the festival, including Outstanding Achievement trophies for costume design, ensemble acting and scenic design. The cast of Wag-on Wheels A-Rollin ranged in age from 9-17, with the show vying against adult community theater groups from across the state.

Apple Valley High School seniors debut album set for release this

monthby Andrew Miller


Scarlett Koenig prob-ably never suspected her part-time job at Sub-way would be a factor in breaking into the enter-tainment business. Koenig, a 12th-grader at Apple Valley High School, has worked at the Subway restau-rant at County Road 42 and County Road 11 in Burnsville for about two years. Last fall, a chance encounter in the sandwich shop with Disraeli Davis, a music producer who op-erates a studio from his Burnsville home, resulted in a recording opportu-nity for the young singer. Id been looking for singers to work with and had just met with a singer at Caribou (near Sub-way), but it didnt work out, explained Davis. I went into the Subway to get a sandwich and said to the employee, You dont know anyone who can sing, do you? The em-ployee mentioned Scar-lett. Koenig wasnt working in the shop when Davis first stopped in, but he returned when she was on

duty and the pair got to talking about recording and the music business. It wasnt long before Koenig was laying down vocal tracks in Daviss home re-cording studio. Lucid, her first al-bum, was recorded be-tween October and Janu-ary and is set for release this month through on-line music vendors iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Koenig is releasing the album under the nom de plume Scarlett Taylor. Koenig also has lined up a debut concert in sup-port of Lucid. Shell be headlining the The Fine Line Music Cafe in Min-

neapolis on June 19 on a double bill with Lisa Lonewolf. Davis, who also serves as Koenigs manager, has high hopes for the singer. Shes got that voice its got that turn-your-head kind of appeal, he said. I think shes gonna get far whatever she does. The thing that struck me was seeing someone who was so focused and disci-plined. In addition to her con-cert at The Fine Line, Koenig plans to hone her performance chops over the summer at open mic events throughout the Twin Cities, before enroll-

ing at Concordia Univer-sity in St. Paul in the fall. Theres always been this place in my heart for performing, said Koe-nig of Burnsville, whos involved in the music and theater departments at Apple Valley High School, appearing in stage musicals such as Bye Bye Birdie and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Samples from Lucid are available online at https://soundcloud.com/scarlett-taylor-4.

Future looks bright for young singer

Burnsville resident Scarlett Koenig, who performs under the nom de plume Scarlett Taylor, will see release of her debut album Lucid this month. The singer also is set to perform at The Fine Line Music Cafe on June 19. (Photo by Lisa Ophoven)
