Track teams off and running

fhs-b-track-rly.jpgAfter extensive rehab following a football injury to his knee last fall, Brian Kiedrowski returned to the track this spring with a goal to be back to 100-percent by the start of the track season.

The senior captain showed how his hardwork and determination during the winter paid off by posting winning times of 11.59 seconds in the 100 meter dash and 23.08 seconds in the 200 dash at last month’s meet at Lakeville South.

“(He) rehabbed during the off season in the weight room and physical therapy,” said Blaze boys track headcoach Jeff Shelden. “The times were F.A.T. and run on a 40 degree day. I am very pleased and look forward to even better things as he continues to gain strength and endurance.” ...read more .

New teenage driving restriction necessary to protect teens, others

donheinzman-art.jpg by Don Heinzman
Thisweek Newspapers

A measure to restrict night-time driving privileges and the number of teenagers in a car for new teen drivers is enroute to becoming a necessary law.

The House and Senate have passed similar measures and Gov. Tim Pawlenty has said he will sign it.

This bipartisan measure is important because car crashes particularly at night are the leading cause of teen deaths in Minnesota. Each year 80 teenagers die in collisions and 6,000 are injured. One of every six fatal crashes and one of every four injury crashes involve drivers under 19 years of age. ...read more .

 

How much impact from an eloquent report

joe-nathan-bw.jpg by Joe Nathan
Thisweek Newspapers

Our house was dark, and it should not have been. I wondered what the problem was. For the last week in spring, 1985, I’m been meeting with state governors and their staffs about key education problems and solutions. It was heady stuff. Now, I was home, eager to see my wife and our three young children.

My wife, who had been and still is a teacher, was glad to see me. “The power is off, the kids have been throwing up and I’m exhausted.” So the heady policy talk of school reform faded for a few days, as I helped our children regain their health, and my wife slept a lot, regaining her strength. ...read more .

The policy is mightier than the sword

betweenheadlines.jpg

by Jeff Achen | posted May 9, 2008

I just don’t see the point.

I mean, I know we’re talking about swords here, but kicking two kids out of school for the rest of the year for purchasing a couple of souvenir swords on a choir trip in England seems like overkill.

The District 196 School Board can’t elaborate publicly on the expulsions, but their hands aren’t exactly tied on the matter. They could have chosen to make their expulsion decision based on common sense and a little compassionate leniency instead of following the district’s policy so strictly. Read more »

The Lakeville City Council has a one-time shot at providing its residents a bus-service bargain

Generally speaking

Posted by LWerner, April 30, 2008

On my way to a town meeting Tuesday night at Lakeville City Hall, I stopped at the Cenex station and filled up my Taurus. It cost me $47.

At the meeting, Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke disclosed that for about $36 in property taxes on my Lakeville condo and similar “average-priced homes” in the community, the Metropolitan Council was willing to provide two transit stations and bus service along I-35 and Cedar Avenue to downtown Minneapolis. ....read more of Larry's blog .
