Rosemount forms downtown senior housing team

Eagan resident Jerry Fenner, left, works with a local Haitian tradesman to assemble a rebar structure to be used in Rosita’s house earlier this fall in Port-au-Prince Haiti. Fenner and a team from Advent United Methodist Church and other metro churches helped rebuild Rosita’s home, which was destroyed during the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

City hopes to break ground in 2012 BY MATTHEW HANKEY SUN NEWSPAPERS Earlier this fall, the city of Rosemount opened negotiations with a team to develop a senior housing project downtown. In early October, this city announced it began working with DRA Ltd., DSGW architects, and Ebenezer Management Services to discuss project options. “Frankly, we’ve only had one meeting with them since that occurred,” said Rosemount Community Development Director Kim Lindquist said regarding the project team that was formed. “It was a kind a kick off meeting.” Jim Trucker with DRA did get into specifics of the team’s plans, but acknowledged it will be awhile before work begins on the senior housing project. “The city council awarded the opportunity for development and I’m the person who formed the team that’s working on the project right now,”

Eagan church team helps rebuild Haitian home BY MATTHEW HANKEY SUN NEWSPAPERS Jerry Fenner has gone to Haiti nearly every year since 1999. In years past, Fenner has lead teams of six to 11 members into the Haitian coun-

tryside to help repair local churches, among other projects. Fenner, and his wife, Joni, are members of Advent United Methodist Church in Eagan and have coordinated their trips to Haiti with the United Methodist Church of

Haiti. This year, however, Fenner coordinated the trip through International Child Care, a Christian health development organization that operates in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to alleviate poverty and strengthen

the health of its residents. Fenner and his team were asked to repair a home damaged by the earthquake that ravaged large parts of Haiti in January 2010. “We wanted a hands-on HAITI: TO PAGE 10

Two pianos are better than none Bogart’s Place in Apple Valley will feature dueling piano party Friday, Saturday nights BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Bogart’s Place in Apple Valley is renowned for the national acts that have graced its stage for nearly 20 years. Now, the venue will host a different form of live entertainment. Beginning Dec. 2, Bogart’s will present “Double Ditty’s,” a dueling piano party that will take place every Friday and Saturday night. “We’ve had live entertainment with bands for the last 19 years and we saw trends in what customers wanted,” said Bogart’s General Manager Rick Waggoner. “They want something more interactive and fun so they could be more involved.” The new dueling piano entertain-

Bogart’s Place staff gathers behind the dueling piano players for the Apple Valley nightclub’s VIP opening Nov. 25.

(Submitted photo) ment comes on the heels of a remodeling project at Bogart’s, 14917 Garret Ave., Apple Valley. The “Back Alley” bar and nightclub

had renovations to the walls and had new carpeting installed. New tables, chairs and bar tops give the place a classier and more upscale

feel, said Kris Boden, Bogart’s marketing and promotions director. BOGART’S: TO NEXT PAGE

NOW PLAYING!

WURTELE THRUST STAGE

NOW – JANUARY 15

Bogart’s FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The outdoor patio in front of the bar has been redone as well. “It’s been primarily a cosmetic overhaul,” said Bogart’s owner Rich Berry. The nightclub layout remains largely unchanged, but an added stage feature was added with crowd participation in mind. Behind the two pianos on stage, seating and tables are available for customers looking to be more involved with the dueling pianos show. “The seating was redone to accommodate the dueling pianos format,” said Waggoner, a Lakeville resident. “We wanted to bring people in as tight as we could – to create that intimate atmosphere around the pianos.” The dueling pianos format is a contrast to what made Bogart’s regionally famous. Over the years, national acts Johnny Lang, Lou Diamond Phillips, Edgar Winter, Foghat and The Outlaws, to name a few, have performed at Bogart’s. Signed, framed photos of the bands used to dot the nightclub walls, but were taken down during the remodeling process. Many local musicians, Johnny Lang for one, got his start playing at Bogart’s, said Berry. “Any Minnesota musicians of any real repute have played here,” Berry said, also a Lakeville resident. Berry said Bogart’s will continue to feature live music, just not on the weekends. “Live music is something in all of our hearts, but the market demand has opened our eyes to other avenues,” added Boden. The Bogart’s staff realized it was time for a format change. “It’s not about the pianos,” Waggoner said. “It’s about the bar and atmosphere the party creates. It’s different because they’re creating an impromptu act right on stage. It requires crowd participation to make it exciting and new.” By attracting new customers, Berry hopes it will generate more activity in

its bowling center. “It reminds people we have bowling,” he said. Bogart’s location in Apple Valley is a positive for music fans interested in the dueling pianos party format, said Waggoner. Now, Dakota County residents won’t have to travel downtown or to the western or eastern metro suburbs to catch a dueling pianos show. “There’s no one south of the river doing anything remotely close to what we’re doing,” Waggoner said. “So, it seemed like a good fit.” Berry said he has a list of roughly 30 A-list piano players from all over the country who travel and perform nationally at dueling piano venues. “We’re bringing them in from as far away as Florida and Chicago,” Berry said. “It’s very necessary to rotate the players because it keeps it fresh. It’s amazing the amount of music these people know.” Each night, three piano players will rotate between the two pianos on stage. “On any given weekend, you could come and see a new face, a new player,” said Boden. Boden said the dueling piano party is a great activity for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and corporate parties. “The location is ideal,” she said. “We offer food and we have a full menu. We can make things simple for big parties.” The cover charge is $5 per person per night and the show is 21-plus event. The remodeling and entertainment change is part of Bogart’s overall goal – to better serve its customers. “We really want to reach out to the community and give them reasons to come,” Boden said. “It’s a longstanding business in this community that I’m sure has given back time and time again and I feel, create more reasons for people to come back.” For customers who haven’t been to Bogart’s in some time, they will be in for a shock, Berry said. “Anyone who hasn’t been here in the recent past, you’ll be in for quite a surprise,” he said. “You may recognize it, but it won’t look the same.”

‘The seating was redone to accommodate the dueling pianos format. We wanted to bring people in as tight as we could – to create that intimate atmosphere around the pianos.’

Jet packs and thought pods and more I think for the first time I will try online Christmas shopping this year. It seems easier, and the options seem wider. I have made no purchases yet, but my hunt has begun, and I have found some doozies. Here, I will share some discoveries from a recent online window-shopping session — all things I plan on purchasing as gifts, assuming I find a couple million dollars in my the pocket of my winter jacket when I dust it off for the season. Picking the right gift can be hard, unless it’s a jet pack. And I found an ingenious one, called the Jet-Lev Flyer ($130,000) that shoots the operator 20 feet into the air, powered by water that it sucks up water via hose, regurgitating it as a punishing, propelling blast. Whoever is lucky enough to find this one under the tree will have to wait for spring, however — or go on vacation — before they can use it, as the device only works on water. But it is not your only jet pack option. A manufacturer called Martin Aircraft makes one that goes for only $86,000, and is said to achieve 30 minutes

ANDREW WIG Richfield Community Editor

of flight time. The company calls it the safest jet pack in the world. It’s the Volvo of jet packs. It seems what we’re dealing with here, when picking between these two packs is, do we want to rocket around, funin-the-sun, beer-commercial style with the Jet-Lev water model? Or, do we want something a little more practical, like the Martin Aircraft pack? I think there’s room for both. For quieter times I found something called the Inspirational Archipod. The $40,000, 13 feet tall, 9 feet in diameter igloo-shaped cocoon is designed to imbue the occupant with maximum creativity. Because you’re in a dome, you see? And ideas really bounce around in there. The Inspirational Archipod is shingled by the very creative and handsome Western Red Cedar,

which covers the double insulated walls. A gull-winged door opens up to the dome-y interior, which features walls with no visible joints that might trap inspiration, creativity or enlightenment. Portholes, and a clear top that hinges open, allow whiffs of brilliance to float in. I foresee a bright future where Inspirational Archipods dot bucolic corporate campuses across America, ushering in some sort of Age of Aquarius and the 20-hour work week. For now, I bet some people in California have them, at least. If you like motorcycles or science fiction, I might get you the Tron-cycle ($55,000). Based on the movie “Tron: Legacy,” the Tron-cycle — actually called the Light Cycle on the website that sells it — is street legal and accented with strips of electroluminescent lighting that is turned to a blur by a fuel injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine. Taking the hunt back to domestic territory, I have also considered my friends and family who prefer that their home décor be made of firearms. For them I will purchase the elegant

AK-47 table lamp. The lamp’s 24inch porcelain neck is, of course, a pretend AK-47 resting upright on its butt. It costs $445, which I imagine is the price you might pay on the black market for the real thing. I am not in favor of guns — I have never even fired one — so I don’t want to belabor the point, but I must mention, the company that makes the AK-47 lamp, Loaded Objects Ceramics, also makes one modeled after a Tri-9mm handgun. The classy ensemble is completed with a set of chess pawns shaped like grenades. The above is just a quick sampling. Dig, and you’ll find some gems yourself. Check out the perfectly named thisiswhyimbroke.com, or uncrate.com or hammacher.com for more outrageous gift ideas. But remember your neighbors, too. Maybe some these zany, high-end items can only be obtained online, but your local retailers also could use your business. Maybe buy the jet pack online, but visit your shops can help you with the more pedestrian items. That is what responsible consumerism is all about.

Let it snow, let it snow … by gosh let it snow! It’s pretty undeniable how splendid of a fall this has been in terms of weather. Very mild, little snow and plenty of sunshine – though, but bring on the snow! I do have to say my desire for snow has been coming later and later throughout the years. Yet, as soon as the first

CHRIS DILLMANN Excelsior/Shorewood Community Editor flakes fly it triggers the winterlover in me. Here’s my logic: It’s going to be winter one way

or another this far north. It’s a pipe dream to think we can squeak by with a southern winter where cold is in the 30s. So, if it’s going to be winter might as well have snow to accompany. For those who don’t partake in winter activities, I can see how no snow would be ideal.

Yet, for those that do use snow for activities it really is a good thing. Myself for example. I am an avid snowboarder. And I can tell you, no matter how much they say the fake is just as good as the real thing, man-

Dillmann FROM PREVIOUS PAGE made snow just doesn’t cut it. I know we don’t have waist-high powder days like they do out west, but some consistent fresh stuff throughout the season really makes all the difference. Also, it helps with tourism and local economies. For instance, Lutsen Mountain on the North Shore of Minnesota was allowed to violate permits for years on how much water they pulled out of the Poplar River by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. This all because of how much money the resort pulls in for the area. Whether it’s right or wrong to let them do so without the proper procedures is another discussion. So the more real stuff the less they have to make. But it goes to show how much winter sports have an influence around the state. With such a warm, dry fall it’s also imperative for a good snow year to help with the drought that has taken a hold of much of the state. And yes, snow sometimes does create more headache than it does good. It’s one thing if you don’t need to go

anywhere while it’s snowing, and you can stay wrapped up inside and just watch it fall or head to the slopes to get to the runs before being groomed. But it’s when it only snows a couple of inches during rush hour that and brings the highways to a grinding halt that it really is no fun. Snow is much more enjoyable when it can actually be enjoyed. What’s kind of funny about how we view snow in the Midwest is last year we were way above our 54 average inches of snow with around 90 inches. Yet, in the mountain towns out west that average hundreds of inches per year, our 90-inch above average season is nothing to them. So I guess it’s all relative. Yet, the true hindrance of winter is the bitter cold. It can snow all winter and if it’s below zero, none of it can be enjoyed or at least becomes very hard to enjoy. Plus, without snow it would be a pretty unsuccessful Artic Fever celebration in the South Lake area. So, even though it can become a pain, especially during March when spring is on the horizon, snow really does provide the perfect scenario for winter as long as it can be enjoyed. So, if you are one to hate the stuff and don’t have a winter activity, try one. It just might change your view on winter, and it sure makes it go faster with a winter hobby.

Haiti FROM PAGE 1 project related to the earthquake issue,” Jerry Fenner said. Fenner’s team left for Haiti on Oct. 29 and returned Nov. 5. Grace Children’s Hospital is the flagship ministry of International Child Care, Fenner said, and the hospital has been near to the Fenner’s hearts for many years. Since 2001, his church has sponsored a bed at the hospital. “We give $3,600 a year so they have

funding so one of the beds in the hospital can have a kid in it each year,” said Fenner. The hospital collapsed during the earthquake, among the scores of other buildings in Port-au-Prince that were damaged. The hospital is still condemned, said Willie Vogt, Advent United Methodist Church team member and Eagan resident. In addition to the damage to the hospital, its employees’ homes were also affected by the earthquake’s destruction. One employee, Rosita, had her home demolished by the earthquake. “It was completely gone,” said Jerry Fenner.

The team helped rebuild Rosita’s home, which was demolished in the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. (Submitted photo) Fortunately for Rosita, her home was chosen to be rebuilt. Rosita, 78, has done laundry at Grace Children’s Hospital for more than 44 years. Before Fenner’s team arrived, a previous team had removed the rubble and began to rebuild her home. Her entire home was rebuilt from concrete and is much sturdier, Vogt said. The hope is that Rosita’s home will be move-in ready by Christmas and the project team awaits photos of the finished home. Fenner’s team was responsible for hauling rocks and sand from the street level down a narrow alley to the staging area at the work site. There, contractors and other workers made the concrete for the home. The team worked for three days at the site, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a break for lunch. Fenner acknowledged that all his team members are “desk jockeys” and this work was quite hard for them.

But, they did not work alone. With the money raised from the church, the team was able to hire Haitian contractors to do the specialized work needed to complete Rosita’s house. “We work under the direction of a Haitian foreman with laborers from Haiti,” said Fenner. “The money we raised not only buys supplies. One thing we provide, we’re providing them jobs. What we do while we are there is we provide the spark and the funding. Most of the work is done after we leave.” And without the church, Fenner realizes his team could not have continuously supported the Haitians for more than a decade. “The real key to this is the financial support the church provides,” Fenner said. “We’re so blessed by the church that they support these projects. You know, it’s a lot of money.”

‘We stand in front of our congregation and we say, “Please consider giving, and the money comes, which speaks volumes of our church.’

Haiti FROM PAGE 10 Fenner’s team has raised $8,000 to $12,000 each year for its trips. The team doesn’t hold fundraisers or raffles or host any other event to support them and their Haitian projects. “We stand in front of our congregation and we say, ‘Please consider giving,’ and the money comes, which speaks volumes of our church,” Fenner said. Vogt said the biggest difference between this year’s trip and trips past is the setting. In previous years, the team has helped rebuild churches in rural parts of Haiti, but this year, their earthquake relief efforts landed them in the heart of Port-au-Prince. “It’s such an interesting city,” Vogt said. “This was a different dynamic than going into the country and seeing small town living. We were along one of the busiest streets in Port-au-Prince.” Racial divisions still permeate the city, Vogt said, and the sight of a white person holding a shovel on the street shocked some of the locals. “I would watch people walk by or on buses going past, and you would see an entire bus full of people turn and look,” Vogt said of himself and team members.

On the days the team wasn’t working, Fenner and the others went to Grace Children’s Hospital and to an orphanage to spend time with sick and abandoned children. “We held them, and held their hands and basically interacted with them,” Vogt said of the local kids. “In Haiti, the child will lean against you and relax [in an orphanage or hospital]. It’s just interesting to be a part of that.” Joni Fenner said the orphanage they visited housed children whose parents could not currently support them, anywhere from months to years. The team showed up as some of the parents were leaving after visiting their kids. The children cried and screamed as their parents said goodbye and left. “We just tried to assist the staff with comforting and settling them down,” Joni Fenner said. Later that day, the team walked through the tent villages inhabited by people displaced by the earthquake.

Joni Fenner found it interesting that things aren’t always what they seem as portrayed by the national broadcast media regarding the conditions in Haiti. “I think probably the biggest thing, in spite of all the news reports we hear, there has been some rebuilding,” she said. “But, that is balanced by…there is still a lot of work to be done. It’s hard to see how those next steps are going to be taken. There have been some challenges with the Haitian government within the last couple months, so things have slowed down a little bit.” More than 100,000 people remain displaced from the earthquake, Jerry Fenner said. But, their faith has made them persevere despite continually living with the earthquake’s aftermath. Jerry Fenner was asked by many in his church if his team evangelized while on their trip. He said his team was in awe of the Haitian’s faith and that evangelizing to them did not seem appropri-

‘I think what’s impressed us about the Haitian people is the way they have to live in that environment and the resiliency with the way the tackle their daily lives.’

ate. His team learned more about faith from them than they could have imagined, said Fenner. “The faith that they have in their worship services was just incredible to us,” he said. Not only is their faith strong, but their ability to cope with hardships thoroughly impressed Fenner. “I think what’s always impressed us about the Haitian people is the way they have to live in that environment and the resiliency with the way they tackle their daily lives,” he said. “You’ve got a country with very limited resources with things we take for granted.” Vogt said each trip he has taken has opened his eyes to something new in the country. Each trip has pushed him to reach out and help someone beyond his neighborhood. “We went way out of our comfort zone,” Vogt said. “If there are no physical impediments, get out of your comfort zone and be part of something bigger than your suburb.” Vogt saw similarities in the Haitian children and the youth back home. “The kids were happy,” Vogt said. The kids always have a smile. I saw some teenagers. They reminded me of teenagers here in Eagan - just laughing, goofing around, the same stuff.”

Senior housing FROM PAGE 1

The Rosemount City Council voted to open negotiations with a development team that includes DRA Ltd., DSGW architects and Ebenezer Management Services to build a senior housing complex on a parcel of land downtown. The complex would be built on property the city purchased from the St. Joseph parish to build the Robert Trail Library, possibly as early as 2012. (Photo by Matthew Hankey – Sun Newspapers)

Trucker said. “We’ve had a couple meetings with the city. But, this is a long process.” While the project is in the early stages of planning, Lindquist said a senior center, senior housing complex and public plaza could be built on the 2.5-acre parcel of land it owns, in addition to public parking for those using the new buildings. Lindquist recognizes that space constraints are something the city and development team will look at when planning the project. “That’s kind of a lot on what is not a large site,” Lindquist said. The project would be built on property the city purchased from the St. Joseph parish to build the Robert Trail Library. The library opened in 2009, and the connecting church building has been converted into a community meeting space – the Steeple Center. More than two acres remain undeveloped on the site of the former parish school, at the southwest corner of Highway 3 and 143rd Street West. The city owns the land from Highway 3 westward to Cameo Street, north and east of the Steeple Center, Lindquist said.

A&J Painting is a family owned and operated business. A&J Painting is a family owned and operated business that was started 15 years ago with my sons Andrew, Jeremiah, and David. In today’s economic climate we have maintained a healthy business due to our professional approach and work ethic that carries the highest standards of quality for every job. We have thrived over the years because of the volume of callbacks and customer referrals from previously contracted jobs. No contract is too big or too small for our company. A&J Painting operates as a licensed and insured painting company that offers trained and skilled (journeyman) employee’s to paint and remodel your home or business. All of our employee’s have been with the company for several years and each has been trained to the highest standards. We take pride in the honesty, integrity, and character of the young men we have employed. My son Andrew is a highly skilled and trained carpenter. He also does taping, knock down ceilings, tiling, installs plumbing, lighting fixtures, countertops and offers many types of custom carpentry. Andrew operates a professional spray booth off site for finishes on cabinetry and furniture. His current focus is on remodeling, updating, and modernizing

homes and businesses. Andrew’s perfectionist approach to every job and the extent of his skill set have made him one of the best craftsman in the Twin Cities. My other two sons run the painting end of the business and are also professionally trained Artists. Jeremiah attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and later studied under the mentorship of the nationally renowned portrait and fresco painter Mark Balma. David similarly was accepted into a full time master apprenticeship program at the young age of 16 at the highly respected Atelier Lack Studio. They followed in the family tradition of mastering a professional craft and skill which they have brought to our company. Between the two they offer 25 years of experience painting interior and exterior homes in the metro area with our family business. A&J Painting takes great pride in our ability to make a true and lasting impression on you. I can’t tell you how many letters and calls I have received over the years from customers who just wanted to share with me what a great job we did. We hope to have the opportunity to do so with you as well. We are only a call or e-mail away to offer you a free estimate of our professional services.

Before ground can be broken, the development team must consider myriad factors, including ironing out the specific plans for the senior housing, senior center and public plaza, and the implications of shared parking for all three entities. In their preliminary talks, Lindquist said the development team has considered an 80-unit senior center, which could be single room unit or shared couple units. The city has done research and has determined a senior assisted facility is needed in Rosemount. “We did do a market analysis,” Lindquist said. “The city itself does not have a large assisted living facility in the community.” There are other living options for seniors, Lindquist acknowledged, but not the type of building being planned for construction. “We do have quite a lot of independent living for seniors, but the assisted living, we’ve heard anecdotally that people have to move out of town to receive those services,” Lindquist said. “While there are [other options], we felt that this is a service that would really benefit the senior citizens in our community.” Lindquist said once the development team constructs a rough project plan, the city will engage the community for feedback. The city hopes to host a public meeting shortly after the New Year. It does not want to interfere with resident’s holiday plans and schedules, Lindquist said. Also, the additional months of planning will give the development team more time to create drawings that will illicit public feedback. “We’re going to do some rough layouts and talk to the council and then go out to the public and the neighborhood, and kind of see how these ideas sit with their ideas of the property,” Lindquist said. “We’re going to try to give them some options so they can have something to respond to rather than an empty page.” Lindquist said the team hopes to break ground next year.

& Nutritional supplements enhance health, ease physical issues BY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER Do you want stronger bones, sharper vision or a healthier heart? How about less joint pain or a full head of hair? Would you like to lose 12 pounds in three days? Drugstores stock shelves of multivitamins and supplements like omega-3 fish oil and probiotics. On the web, you’ll find glucosamine for joint pain or hoodia and green tea extract for weight loss. The claims by the makers of nutritional or dietary supplements can be breathtaking. The products contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or amino acids designed to supplement the nutrients the body needs to work properly or to treat certain physical conditions. Supplements are more popular than ever. A government survey released in April showed that 53 percent of adults use vitamins or other dietary supplements, up from about 42 percent a decade earlier. Multivitamins are the most popular supplements, with about 40 percent of adults reporting their use, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report showed.

Americans spend over $25 billion per year on supplements, according to the National Institutes of Health. Buyer beware: Scientific evidence for many supplements varies widely. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements, but doesn’t require testing for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed. In contrast, drug makers must gain FDA approval by providing convincing scientific evidence that their products are safe and effective. The best way to get your vitamins is to eat them, many nutrition experts agree. Eating a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean meats is ideal, said Heidi Greenwaldt, registered dietician and spokesperson for Minnesota Dietetic Association. “That’s why they’re called supplements,” she said. “They’re supplements to a healthy diet, not magic pills.” Scientific research has shown that eating certain foods can play an important role in preventing heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer, said

Jamie Stang, associate professor of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota. For example, antioxidants found in cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower can reduce cancer risk. Supplements can’t replace the health benefits of whole foods, Stang said. “You’re not getting the fiber, you’re not getting all the antioxidants,” she said. “There’s literally hundreds and hundreds of compounds that aren’t vitamins that actually have beneficial effects on the body that you get mostly from fruits and vegetables and whole grains.” However, supplements can be useful for people with food allergies or specific health problems, she said. For example, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need folic-acid supplements to help prevent birth defects. Check labels when shopping for multivitamins, aiming for a range between 100 percent and 200 percent of daily value (%DV) for most nutrients, Greenwaldt said. The %DV shows how much of the government’s Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are supplied by the

supplement. Avoid formulas with higher concentrations of the %DV, because the body can’t absorb large amounts of water-soluble nutrients like B vitamins, she said. In large doses, some nutrients like iron can be toxic. Nutrition counseling is an important part of treatment at Health Resources clinic, said Justin Backlund, chiropractic kinesiologist at the Burnsville clinic. His holistic philosophy of functional medicine focuses on treating the underlying causes of disease. Most patients come to the clinic with several health complaints at a time, including low-back pain, headaches, sleep apnea and psoriasis. Diet and lifestyle change often play an important role in managing symptoms. Backlund often prescribes supplements to restore the body’s biochemical imbalances, such as vitamin D or probiotics as well as homeopathic remedies like St. John’s wort. “We look at the body three-dimensionally,” he said. “We age inside-out and our outside is only as good as our inside.”

Sports Injury Neck (Cervical Spine)

Nutritional Supplements remain under study BY ROXI REJALI - CONTRIBUTING WRITER Vitamins and minerals have a reputation as the good guys of the nutrition world. Vitamin A protects eyesight. Vitamin C fights winter colds. Calcium builds strong bones. Most people try to eat healthy diets, but when they fall short, nutritional or dietary supplements are supposed to be a good option. Two recent studies came to different conclusions about the safety and effectiveness of supplements. The Iowa Women’s Health Study found that the use of seven common vitamin and mineral supplements was associated with increased risk of death, compared to nonusers. Supplements included multivitamins, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper. The older women taking those supplements died earlier than nonusers, although researchers didn’t calculate how much earlier, said Jaakko Mursu, a study co-author and nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota. “If you would put it in a time period, it would be a few months, instead of years,” he said. The study followed the supplement use of about 39,000 older women in Iowa over an 18-year period. Average age was

62 at the beginning of the study, published in October in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The study results shouldn’t cause alarm, Mursu said. He believes that supplements are relatively safe, but cautions against their use in high doses or on a long-term basis. Food sources continue to be a better source of nutrients than supplements, he said. “If your diet is not deficient in micronutrients or nutrients, then usually there’s no reason to use supplements,” he said. In contrast, a separate study of 78 subjects in Padua, Italy, found that older adults may need supplements to make sure they continue to meet their nutritional requirements. Subjects were aged 70-75 at the beginning of the 10-year study. Researchers determined that study subjects were eating a healthful diet, but more than 50 percent of participants became deficient in vitamins B2 and A by the end of the study. The study examined their intake of vitamins B1, B2, A and C. “Multivitamin supplementation may be necessary, even in healthy individuals, to ensure an adequate micronutrient intake in the elderly,” study authors wrote in the February issue of the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging.

The neck is comprised of muscle, tendons, ligaments and bone. The bones of the neck (Vertebrae) are the protectors of the spinal cord and nerves. They also guide the neck through various movements that allow us to function normally. The Disruption of the integrity of this complex mechanism occur during high velocity high amplitude trauma forces. Two examples would be the head to head contact we are seeing more and more in football and during car accidents (Whiplash). Typical signs to look for are decreased range of motion, tightness or spasms, swelling, bruising, tingling and burning type sensations. Most often I see these cases a day or two post impact. We are often taught to “give it time to heal”; In some cases the injuries do heal. The question is the quality of repair. Our bodies don’t know how to replace torn tissue with the exact same material much less in the proper alignment prior to injury. What happens is we let the affected tissues remain immobile or don’t’ encourage the tissues to regain their fullest function and range of motion. To compound this, scar tissue is laid down to “fill the cracks” and give the illusion of stability. Yes the joints are stable, but much less useful and are up to 70%

more likely to re-injury because the proper tissue components were not used and proper rehabilitation was not performed. Resuming football, basketball, hockey, softball or your favorite sport can be achieved knowing that the nerve and blood flow needed during these activities are fully restored. Resolution potential is in direct proportion to your adherence to the directions from your doctor. The patient in a sense can determine how much or little they recover. No one wants to return to activities at 50% and you may not have to if proper steps are taken toward proper treatment. When I see this happen whether it is an acute injury or one that happened weeks, months or years before. I assess the degree of damage and set forth a treatment plan or an aggressive rehabilitation program to unlock the adhesion riddled joints thus giving the patient proper range of motion and a better quality of life. New or old sports related or motor vehicle related neck sprains are a serious injury that has far reaching implications if not diagnosed and treated before it is too late and surgery is your last option. Don’t let this happen to you. Set up an appointment online or call 952-898-7250 to have a complimentary assessment of your condition. You’ll be glad you did.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Rosemount winter parking rules in effect The city of Rosemount has resumed its enforcement of winter parking restrictions beginning Nov. 1 that will continue through March 31. The restriction is necessary for the city’s snowplow drivers to clear streets safely and efficiently. Violators will be subject to fines, towing or impoundment at the vehicle owner’s expense. Rosemount City Code prohibits parking on any public street, highway, or alley: - Every day 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. regardless of the weather - Any time snowfall, wind or other weather condition has resulted in a snow accumulation of two or more inches, until the street, highway or alley is plowed curb to curb The city will repair sod and mailboxes that have been damaged by direct impact with a snowplow. The city is not responsible for mailboxes that are knocked over by snow

rolling off the plow, or for damage to sprinkler heads installed in the rightof-way. Please keep all items such as garbage cans, basketball hoops and hockey nets at least four feet back from the curb to avoid potential damage from a plow. Property owners can minimize plowing damage to their yards by driving stakes at the edge of their property to give plow drivers a guide. Four-foot wood laths that are painted orange at the top should be placed in the ground six inches from the edge of the road and should be spaced 25 feet apart. Stakes can be picked up free of charge at the Public Works Garage, 14425 Brazil Ave. on weekdays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Info: 651-322-2022.

Drop in national ranking could spur Apple Valley

Visit us online at minnlocal.com Page 23

Three-time state champion Dakota Trom helps former Apple Valley wrestling great Matt Demaray demonstrate takedown techniques during a practice last week.

Eagle wrestlers led by two three-time state champions BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Even a team as successful as Apple Valley’s wrestling squad has its doubters. Not necessarily at the state level – the Eagles enter the season as oddson favorites to win a seventh consecutive Class 3A team championship. The national rankings, however, might have raised a few eyebrows in the Apple Valley wrestling room. The organizations that rank high school teams declared the Eagles national champions in 2011 and co-champions in 2010. This year? InterMat put the Eagles sixth in its preseason national rankings. Amateur Wrestling News had the Eagles at No. 8, one spot behind Simley, the reigning Minnesota Class 2A champion. The Eagles could shrug it off and say rankings aren’t important. But if they thought the national rankings were meaningless, they wouldn’t have “National Champions” plastered on one wall of the wrestling room. “We can use it for motivation,” said senior Dakota Trom, a threetime state individual champion. “We can go out and try to show we still deserve to be considered” for the top national ranking. Wrestlers from last year’s Apple Valley team that were lost to graduation included five who signed with or committed to Division I college programs. That might explain the drop in the national rankings. But the Eagles return two threetime state champions (Trom and Brandon Kingsley) and possibly the nation’s top eighth-grade wrestler (Mark Hall). They’re likely to remain strong in the lower weights. They

have someone in the Guillotine Class 3A rankings at 12 of the 14 weight classes. Trom, who is ranked ninth nationally at 132 pounds by InterMat, is 1348 in high school matches over the last three years. Asked what motivates him now, Trom said, “just going out there, doing what I need to do and trying to get that fourth state title.” Kingsley won state championships at 125 as a ninth-grader, 135 as a sophomore and 140 as a junior. He’s 143-3 over the last three years and begins this season ranked fourth nationally at 152. Trom and Kingsley signed last month with the University of

Minnesota. Ben Sullivan, a former Alaska state champion who will wrestle for the Eagles this year, signed with Northwestern. Sullivan is ranked first in Class 3A at 160 pounds by the Guillotine. Hall was 46-3 last year and became the third seventh-grader – all from Apple Valley – to win a Minnesota individual championship. Sophomore Seth Gross was third in the state at 103 last season and is ranked first at 120 this year. Junior Daniel Woiwor took second place at 145 last year and is ranked second in Class 3A at 170 this season. Seniors Corbin Farrell and Zach

With high expectations come long bus trips. That’s one reason, on the day after Thanksgiving, the Eagan boys hockey team boarded a bus to go to Moorhead. The Wildcats needed to be tested in scrimmages against Brainerd and northern Minnesota powers Moorhead and Roseau. “Our kids need game-speed competition,” Eagan coach Mike Taylor said last week while en route to Moorhead. “Our first two games, while they’re not conference games, are tough tests,” Taylor added. “Hastings is going to be good. Eden Prairie is a dynasty, and we’re playing them at Eden Prairie.” The Wildcats play Hastings in their season opener at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at Eagan Civic Arena. They go to Eden Prairie at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. The Eden Prairie game is a rematch of the 2011 state Class AA semifinal won by the Eagles 5-1. Eagan went on to take third place at the state tourney and finish 22-7-2. By the end of this week, fans should have a good idea of whether Let’s Play Hockey was right to put Eagan at No. 2 in its preseason Class AA rankings. Not that Taylor and the Wildcats profess to be concerned about rankings. “White noise is what we call them,” the coach said. “Rankings are just someone’s opinion, and we’ve seen with the BCS [in college football] how they can change week to week.” At the same time, it’s not difficult to understand why the Wildcats are highly regarded entering the season. They return five players that scored at least 20 points

All-SSC athletes named for football, soccer, volleyball, cross country The South Suburban Conference recently announced its all-conference teams for football, soccer, volleyball and cross country. All-conference and honorable mention athletes in football, soccer and volleyball were selected by the league’s coaches. In cross country, the top 20 finishers at the conference meet are all-conference, with the next 20 receiving honorable mention. Listed below are the all-conference and honorable mention selections from the Eagan, Apple Valley and Rosemount Sun-Current coverage area. Athletes are seniors unless otherwise noted.

Hockey preview FROM PREVIOUS PAGE last season. This fall, six Eagan players were on the Team Southeast squad that won the Upper Midwest High School Elite League regular-season and playoff championships. Forwards and senior captains Michael Zajac (56 points last season) and Will Merchant (55 points) were Eagan’s leading scorers last season. Senior Nick Kuchera had 46 points last season and was named to the all-tournament team at state, as was Merchant. Forwards Cody Mason, Cullen Willox, Eric Peterson, Zach Glienke and Will Peterson also are returning. Seniors Eli May, Derick Kuchera, Connor McGovern and Sam Wolfe lead the defense. Each had at least 14 points last season. May scored 11 goals. Wolfe had 10. The Wildcats like to have their defensemen involved in the attack. “We try to get four players into the rush,” Taylor said. “And if we have to defend going the other way, it’s fine. Our kids have experience, and they know what to do.” One place the Wildcats lack experience is in goal, where senior Christian Butler

and freshman Andrew Lindgren are new to the varsity. Obviously the Wildcats want to return to the state tournament, but Taylor said they have a couple of shorter-term goals, too. Eagan can aim for the South Suburban Conference championship after tying for third last year. Taylor also pointed out that the school record of 31 conference points was set not last year, but in 2009-10. With only 17 conference games on the schedule this year, Eagan would have to go 16-1 in South Suburban play to beat that school record. Still, Taylor said the players have more that they want to accomplish at the high school level. That’s one reason they all came back, while some other schools in the conference lost players to junior hockey or the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in Michigan. “I know some of our players had opportunities to go elsewhere,” Taylor said. “But I think this is a tight group. The seniors have one more year to play with the friends they grew up with and one more year to take a shot at this.”

Next game: against East Ridge at Cottage Grove Ice Arena, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1. Outlook: The Eagles, who were 17th in the Let’s Play Hockey preseason Class AA rankings, will have to overcome the loss of several key players to make another deep playoff run. Several who were eligible to return opted for Junior A teams or the USA Hockey National Team Development Program. Graduated players included a four-year starting goalie. Apple Valley figures to rely on senior captains Derek Smith and Tate Erickson. Smith, who Hayes has described as one of the best defensemen in the metro area, had 33 points (six goals, 27 assists) last season. Erickson, a forward, had 25 points. Seniors Anthony Leong and Derek Falteisek and junior Sean Lang are back to bolster the defense. Returning forwards include seniors Trent Heuer and Dustin LaFrance. Goalies Matt Koziy and Jordy Charles saw limited varsity backup duty last year.

Apple Valley

Coach: Drey Bradley. Last season: 8-17-2 overall; reached Section 3AA quarterfinals. Next game: at Edina, 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1.

Coach: Jerry Hayes. Last season: 20-7-1 overall; Section 3AA runner-up.

Mikaela Sullivan.

Eastview

Girls cross country

Outlook: Senior forward Scott Nelson led the Lightning in goals (24) and assists (24) last season. Eastview also has experience in goal, where senior Alex Wohl played in 10 varsity games in 2010-11. Other returning forwards include seniors Nick Cerrato and Jake Heppner, and juniors Ryan McNamara and Nick Abbott. Seniors Jon Plaszcz (14 points last season) and Ryan Reger (nine points) will help lead the defense for the Lightning, which is looking to improve on last year’s 5-11-2 conference record.

Rosemount Coach: Scott Macho. Last season: 6-20 overall; lost in first round of Section 3AA playoffs. First game: at home against Shakopee, 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2. Outlook: The Irish have seven seniors and seven sophomores on the roster. The sophomore group includes two goalies. Ryan Anderson (17 points last season), Andy Gustafson (14 points) and Trevor Kolden (eight points) are returning forwards. Seniors Josh Winter and Schyler Storer will lead the defense. Senior Austin Leslie and sophomores Tom Fraune and Torin Anderson are competing for playing time in goal.

Wrestling FROM PAGE 23 Apple Valley’s Brandon Kingsley, pictured at the 2011 state wrestling tournament, is a three-time state individual champion.

Martens also were state tournament qualifiers last year. Five Apple Valley wrestlers won ninth-grade state titles last year. Three of them – Brock Morgan, Shamar Williams and Dayton Racer – were in the Guillotine’s preseason varsity rankings. Ninth-grader Maolu Woiwor, Daniel’s younger brother, is ranked second in Class 3A at 106. Then there’s sophomore Gannon Volk, who won a ninth-grade state title at 95 pounds last season, then went on to win the national Cadet “triple crown” (freestyle, folkstyle, GrecoRoman) at 91 pounds. Where he fits in a lineup loaded with lower-weight talent is still to be determined. “There’s a lot of talent here,” Trom said, “a lot of kids who are good athletes and have a good work ethic. We just need some time to figure out our best lineup, and then we’ll be able to compete with anybody.” The Eagles open their season with a South Suburban Conference match at Prior Lake at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3. The next day, they go to Faribault for an individual tournament.

Lakeville invite

Top-ranked performers

Lakeville North will hold its annual invitational tournament Saturday, Dec. 3. Lakeville South is the only other South Suburban Conference school in the 18-team field, which includes Henry Sibley, South St. Paul, Minneapolis Southwest, Chaska and Chanhassen. Eagan will be at Rochester Mayo and Rosemount will be at Chisago Lakes in other Saturday tournaments involving SSC schools.

Rosemount senior Adam Jackson, who recently signed to wrestle at Air Force, is ranked second in Class 3A at 152 pounds. Jackson was 38-3 last year and finished second at state at 152 to five-time champion Destin McCauley of Apple Valley. This year another Apple Valley wrestler, Brandon Kingsley, is ranked first at 152. Other ranked wrestlers from the

Sun-Current coverage area include Rosemount junior Dan Rosa (10th at 113), Burnsville sophomore Bill Underhill (eighth at 120), Burnsville senior Andy Underhill (fourth at 126), Rosemount senior Steve Levine (seventh at 126), Lakeville North senior Anton Kalista (fourth at 160), Eastview senior Mitch Rechtzigel (seventh at 160), Lakeville South junior Tom Petersen (second at 195) and Eagan senior Mitch Johnson (fourth at 220).
