Trials by fire at ABLE facility

Archdiocese: women ordinations are not valid or recognized BY MATTHEW HANKEY SUN NEWSPAPERS One Burnsville woman took a leap of faith this past Sunday. Monique Venne was ordained June 26 as a priest at Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave. in Minneapolis. This ceremony was the third public Roman Catholic Womanpriest ordination in the Twin Cities. Bishop Regina Nicolosi ordained Venne a priest. According to its website, the group is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church seeking to spiritually prepare, ordain, and support women who are theologically qualified, committed to an inclusive model of Church, and who are called to minister within the Roman Catholic Church. The RCWP contends its ordinations are valid because the women are ordained in the line of unbroken apostolic succession within the Roman Catholic Church. “Our first Roman Catholic Bishops in the womanpriest movement were ordained by a valid Roman Catholic male Bishop,” Venne said. The first ordination occurred in 2002, when seven women were ordained in the Danube River in Germany. Now, there are more than 100 women worldwide who have been ordained as deacons and priests. The Roman Catholic Church does not consider these ordinations valid. “It’s an absolute misnomer [for these women] to call themselves ‘Roman Catholic priest’,” said Dennis McGrath, communications manager for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. “They choose to call it that, but she will not be a priest in the Roman Catholic Church.” It is the Church’s position that any woman who is ordained a deacon or priest and any Bishop who ordains them be excommunicated.

CAP to end relationship with emergency food program Space constraints cited as reason BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership Agency will soon end its relationship with the Emergency Food Shelf Network’s Fare For All Express program. The partnerships ended due to the CAP Agency lacking the space capacity in both office locations to continue to house the Fare For All program, said Marlys Huismann, a CAP marketing and communications specialist. Fare For All Express was being offered out of the parking lot of both the Shakopee and Rosemount CAP Agency office locations. The cooperative purchasing program sells packages of produce and meat for up to 40 percent off retail prices. It is part of the Emergency Foodshelf Network independent food bank.

As of June 22, Fare For All Program Supervisor Sophia Lenarz-Coy said the organization hasn’t been able to notify any customers in person regarding the closing, but a notice was issued on its Facebook page, as well as an email sent to newsletter recipients. Lenarz-Coy said their organization did not receive much warning from the CAP Agency regarding the decision about using the site. “Had it been our way, we would have taken a few months and wind down slowly,” Lenarz-Coy said. Lenarz-Coy said Fare For All is open to any and all site relocation possibilities the public can suggest. “We welcome anyone to give us a call,” Lenarz-Coy said. Fare For All has been able to relocate its Shakopee site location to St. Mark’s Catholic Church, but is still looking for a new site in Rosemount. “We just haven’t had anything fall into place for relocation of our Rosemount location,” Lenarz-Coy said. “We’re in a tough situation.” The CAP Agency will assist in the search for new Rosemount Fare For All site and will support them as much as possible, Huismann said. “We definitely still advocate for the services that they provide,” Huismann said. “We’re just not able to have it here at our agency.” The CAP Agency Rosemount office will host its last Fare For All event 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6. “People can come to still get food and they can get coupons to use for nearby locations,” Lenarz-Coy said. The nearest alternate Fare For All site for Rosemount residents is in South St. Paul.

Burnsville volunteer group honored for answering the call of duty since 2006 BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS One volunteer group is making work – and life – a little easier for Burnsville safety personnel. The Burnsville Mobile Volunteer Network was formed in 2006to assist city safety personnel in safety disasters and public events. When Joe Rehome joined the group in 2006, it had 20 members. Now, the group numbers 55, and is always looking for new people, he said. Volunteers are as young as 22 years old, and some are retirees. Network members attend quarterly training to lear n about traffic control, crowd control, missing person searches and first aid. Volunteers have helped the city in many emergencies, including fires, searching for missing people and responding to the Black Dog Power Plant explosion last fall. “It’s a fantastic group of individuals,” said Nanette Denk, a Mobile Volunteer Network captain. When the group was initially formed, only Burnsville residents were eligible to join. Later, the group opened membership to people who work in Burnsville, attend religious institutions in the city or otherwise participate in the community, Denk said. Group members logged more than 600 total volunteer hours in 2010, said Amber Jacobson, a community services specialist with the city of Burnsville. Burnsville Fire Department Captain Doug Nelson appreciates the efforts and work ethic of the network. “It’s huge,” Nelson said of the group’s impact. “They’re willing to do a lot of the jobs that can free up police and fire personnel.” The network has a hierarchy of command, beginning with a captain, followed by lieutenants, sergeants and so on. In the event of an emergency, the captain will receive a phone call from either the fire or police department. This captain will then call the next in command, and more calls are made in conjunction with the group’s calling tree.

For example, the group mobilized quickly to respond to a large fire at the Bur ncliff Apartments in December 2008. After a determination was made that 10 network members were needed to assist, a call went out from the fire department to the group. Within 30 minutes, six members had responded and were on the scene, with four more arriving minutes later. “They helped with traffic control, helped at the high school for displaced people from the apartment, helped with perimeter control and served food to the emergency crew,” Jacobson said. “That was a really major (event). They are a tremendous asset to the city.” The group’s efforts were recently recognized at the League of Minnesota Cities annual conference in Rochester. The Burnsville Mobile Volunteer Network won the “City of Excellence Award” for the “Effective Use of Volunteers” category, beating 11 other nominated city volunteer groups. Denk represented the group at the ceremony, along with Bur nsville City Councilmember Mary Sherry. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and the Burnsville City Council honored the volunteer network at its June 21 council meeting. The League of Minnesota Cities is a nonprofit organization that helps Minnesota cities build quality communities through effective advocacy, expert analysis, trusted guidance and collective action. “That’s a great feather in our cap to be recognized by the League of Minnesota Cities – that we’re worthy of an award,” Nelson said. Bur nsville’s Mobile Volunteer Network program is primarily funded through the Citizen Corps Grant Program through the State of Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department. Since 2003, the city has received grant dollars for staffing, supplies and equipment to assist with the program.

What’s next: remote desk help for computer users BY MATT CORNELIUS • GUEST COLUMNIST For a decade or more, large corporations have been using software to “remote control” desktop computers within their own walls. With programs less than one megabyte in size, the help desk can remotely control a user’s keyboard and mouse to troubleshoot a wide variety of problems. Recently many IT support service companies have begun rolling out their own solutions or using an existing software re-branded with their own name to perform remote help desk functions. There are many advantages to this type of support. First, the customers make a phone call and then surf to a website that the support service company directs them to. No one need unplug all the cables from the back of the computer, lug it downstairs and in to the garage, and drive it to the retail location of their favorite tech support guys.

No expensive gas is used, no more miles closer to your next oil change. This is also especially attractive to elderly or disabled customers since it may be even more of a hassle or even a danger for them to physically carry their PC anywhere. Next the customer is directed to connect to the company’s website or service provider’s website, they begin a download of a small program which when ran will contact the support company and then automatically establish a connection between the support staff and the customer. Most of these types of software easily pass through the customer’s router and or firewall because it’s a connection that’s initiated by the customer, not by an untrusted source outside the customer’s local network. Finally, we get to the good part. When the remote support software runs the support staff will be able to view what’s on the customer’s screen, and use the mouse

and or keyboard just as the customer would. The technician will be able to troubleshoot almost any software issue including the most common such as a slow PC, spyware and malware removal, and also teach customers how to use different programs they have. This new process adds up to a lot of savings. There’s the time spent traveling whether it’s the customer moving their system to the support company, or the support company traveling to the customer. There’s the fuel savings that’s realized by not having to use a motor vehicle to transport the system back and forth (think green!). In all my techie years, I’ve never seen a guy (or gal) on a bicycle pedaling down the street with a computer tower strapped to his or her back. And lastly there’s the savings of discomfort for the elderly and disabled customers. They no longer have to carry the tower anywhere or wait to have a friend or relative help them bring their computer in to a service company.

Obviously this technology will not replace all other means of tech support. If your hard disk fails, your Internet connection is down, or your system just plain won’t power on, this type of computer support will be no good to you. For small business customers needing help with their networks, this type of help will not always do the trick either. But for those problems that are resolved with this technology there will be a great savings for everyone. Usually support companies will charge a lesser rate for this type of service. The reasons are that there’s less exposure for risk to the support company (there can’t be accidents on the job if there’s no employee at the customer’s location), and there’s no transportation cost to figure in to the cost of service for the support company either (no fleet vehicle gas or maintenance costs as with driving). So go green, ladies and gentlemen – and stay home. Matt Cornelius of Burnsville works with Broadview Technology Solutions.

‘Uhh, I like sports, too’ - The myth of the male spouse play date “I’m sure you’ll get along fine,” my wife said, as she packed for Wisconsin Dells. “Casey seems like a really nice guy, and I’m sure you’ll have fun taking the girls to the water park.” With our impending dance competition-related trip to Wisconsin’s Disneyland fast approaching, the prospect of hanging out with a complete stranger was a bit of a curveball. It wasn’t the first time that I’d been set up on what I refer to as a “male spouse play date.” A male spouse play date occurs when two non-single women, united due to proximity, work or other events, make plans regarding their male partners that the male partners themselves may or may not know about.The male,pleasantly in the dark, is usually thrown a lastminute hint of what’s to come (“Oh, honey, I forgot to tell you…”). The reasoning behind the suit-

JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM Managing Editor

ability of these significant other pairings can differ in its logic, but the results are the same: two grown men left in an awkward silence after the two women who have united them have left the room. Casey, it turns out, was a pretty decent guy, and after he told me about some of the crazy things he had seen as a medical resident in an emergency room, I was able to overlook the fact that he was a tanned, handsome soon-to-be-doctor who made me feel every inch the pasty “Star Wars” nerd. Despite being a year younger than I, Casey seemed much more

mature, which I suppose happens when you work in a life and death field. The day passed quickly, and by the end of it, we’d discovered much in common. We’d grown up not far from each other, knew some of the same kids and were even able to compare the Dells water park we were at to the long-vanished Beaver Mountain in Burnsville. I wouldn’t say we became friends, but we survived taking care of our respective two-year-old princesses together, and there’s something to be said for that. There is an old axiom regarding the way that men and women bond: women bond by talking together, men bond by doing things together. Simply put, women can bond over cups of coffee, and men bond over oil changes, going to a game together, etc. Why do

you think beer commercials, or at least the old ones, always had guys camping, or chasing runaway barges together? Had our significant others thought ahead, they could have found a rusty transmission from a 1986 Cadillac Cimarron a junkyard, plopped it on the hotel floor and told Casey and I to field strip it. We would have been best friends within hours, I’m sure.

ABLE FROM PAGE 1 through a live burn at ABLE Monday, June 20. With the exception of the fire chief, fire marshal and fire inspector, all members of the Apple Valley Fire Department are paid-on-call volunteers. Marisa Holman, 25, of Apple Valley, has been a volunteer firefighter with the department for two and a half years. During her time there, she has been involved in more than a dozen fires. Her training experiences at ABLE have been really good preparation for her real-life situations, she said. “My experience is we usually put pallets and hay down, then we light it on fire and we do training exercises, like search and rescue, putting the fire out,” Holman said. “We use the thermal imaging camera, it’s called the TIC; and that shows, by the variation of color, you can see human heat and you can see where the fire is. There are different levels of using the TIC camera. We use the gas monitor to monitor the CO levels in the building.” At the June 20 training, Engel and Kennedy were implementing the use of a new nozzle for their fire hoses. Kennedy said the new nozzles are smooth bore nozzles, as opposed to the fire department’s regular “automatic” nozzles. The nozzles are designed to be used with standpipes in apartment complexes. The new hoses run at a lower pressure then an automatic hose, but allow the water to shoot further. The general format of the training consisted of two lines of firefighters entering the building with two different hoses. One team used the hose with the smooth bore nozzles. The other went in with automatic nozzles, as backup to protect the first team if there were any problems. The firefighters’ gear consists of Kevlar bunker coats and pants, a Kevlar helmet with protective hood and fire gloves. Each firefighter also wears a SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) and mask. The SCBA, which primarily consists of an oxygen tank, has a safety system built into it. If a firefighter is idle for a certain period of time, a beeping noise will occur. Kennedy refers to this safety precaution as “PASS,” or Personal Accountability Safety System. He said the noise starts out softly to warn the firefighters, then gets louder with each passing second to indi-

cate a firefighter is down and needs help. “It’s a really loud beeping, and every firefighter knows the sound of it,” Kennedy said. “If they hear that, the firefighting stops and we have to find the firefighter and rescue them, or we continue to fight the fire and have another team come in and rescue them.” When a firefighter is not trouble but hears their system begin to beep, they will motion from side to side to disarm the alarm. Kennedy said his firefighters refer to this as the “firefighter butt wiggle,” because its the lower part of the pack that detects the motion Another part of the safety gear Kennedy said is very helpful is an oxygen gauge that can be seen within their masks “It’s a heads up display within our masks that tells us how much air we got left,” he said. “I’ve also got a gauge on my strap, but [the mask gauge] is visual, right in my face all the time.” Kennedy said the fire department’s training is twofold: the onsite physical training at ABLE and safety training at one of the stations. He said the department consists of 60-70 firefighters, which are split in half for training. While he and Engel were running the exercises at ABLE, Fire Chief Nealon Thompson was conducting the safety training in Apple Valley. The following week they would switch. Kennedy said both parts are vital, teaching the importance of safety as well as preparation. “A lot of firefighters are hurt every year, over a hundred firefighters generally die every year in the line of duty,” Kennedy said. “Once a year the fire service does what is called Safety Stand Down; for a week they stress the importance of safety training.” Engel has served the city for 34 years. He noted the importance ABLE and what it provides his firefighters “For us to be able to do live burns, this is the only place we can do them at,” Engel said. Engel also said he looks forward to a new facility and the possible benefits it could provide. He described some of the features that could be implemented for the future facility. “The new building, at least from when we talked about options a while back, it’s basically going to have where you can burn in multiple rooms. Instead of this [facility], which only has one [live burn] room,” Engel said. “I heard it’s going to be a two-story building. So you can have a fire in the second floor, back in the corner, or a fire in the basement.”

Pretty, but dangerous: Fire chiefs warn about fireworks dangers BY MIKE RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS With the Fourth of July fast approaching, fire chiefs from two local communities are advising residents about using fireworks safely and wisely. This Fourth of July weekend will be abundant with celebrations occurring all over the state, including Lakeville and Apple Valley, and along with these celebrations comes the desire by many people to purchase and set off their own fireworks privately. It is for this reason that Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer and Apple Valley Fire Chief Nealon Thompson are urging care and safety with regard to fireworks use. Due to much time spent in their careers as firefighters, both Meyer and Nealon have seen the damage these items can do to an individual if not used properly. Meyer has seen individuals suffer burns of varying degrees caused by the misuse of fireworks, and this is what the chief is advising community members to avoid them. “With any of them, you’re dealing with fire,” he said. Meyer said that the burns he has seen were caused by what he described as

“fountain” types of fireworks, like Roman candles, bottle rockets and others that shoot into the air. The fountain can get knocked over and shoot in an unintended direction, the chief explained. Citing that these types of fireworks are illegal in Minnesota, Thompson went on to say that holding these fountain types by hand was another way people could easily get injured. Thompson has also seen second- and third-degree burns by fireworks users, some caused by inappropriate behavior and not reading the instructions. Those choosing to purchase and use their own fireworks should take certain measures into consideration, Meyer said. If these people are using the fireworks at their homes, they should set them on a concrete surface such as a driveway and have a hose or a bucket of water readily accessible, he added. The danger isn’t over when the explosion and lights have faded away. “Our recommendation, if you are using legal fireworks, is to place them in a five-gallon bucket of water so they get soaked,” Meyer said. Many accidental fires have occurred as the result of placing fireworks debris

and remains in a garbage can before they have been fully extinguished. According to Thompson, anyone who is under 16 years of age should not be using and setting off fireworks. Private fireworks use should be done with adult supervision, in an open area and away from structures and any flammable materials. In the event of a misfire, according to Thompson, people should stay clear of the item for a minimum of 15 minutes, after which time the still potentially harmful firework should be soaked in water for 30 to 60 minutes to fully put out any remaining burning embers. Though most people purchase their fireworks locally in Minnesota, some choose to drive elsewhere and purchase fireworks that are considered illegal in the state. “We discourage the use of those types in Minnesota,” Thompson said, to which Meyer added, “For the most part, illegal fireworks have a greater potential for harm.” According to the Minnesota State Fire Marshal, fireworks that are legal in the state include wire or wood sparklers, as well as other sparkling items that are non-explosive and non-aerial. Novelty

items are also legal, including snakes, glowworms, smoke devices, string poppers, party poppers and snappers. Those that are illegal, as defined by the State Fire Marshal, include any firework that is explosive or aerial, such as firecrackers, ladyfingers, bottle rockets, Roman candles, missile type rockets, chasers, and mines or shells (heavy cardboard paper tubes attached to a base). Meyer said he believes these laws are appropriate, and Thompson simply said the more dangerous fireworks should be left to the professionals. “Ultimately people should partake in viewing on Fourth of July,” Thompson said. “I suggest they come out and watch the experts do the shooting.” In conclusion, Meyer said everyone should enjoy the Fourth of July but “be conscious and safe about it.”

Lakeville auction business relocating to Cannon Falls Hosts final auction June 23 before upcoming move BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS Going once, going twice, gone…to Cannon Falls. A New Day Auctions, 16320 Kenrick Loop, Lakeville, hosted its final auction at that location 6 p.m. Thursday, June 23, but the business will soon resume its auctions and consignment sales next month in Cannon Falls. The business, started by Kendra and Josh Stevens, has called Lakeville home for over two years while developing a customer base of approximately 4,000 people. The owners, however, will be relocating to Cannon Falls next month after learning that their leased space would no longer be available due to foreclosure. The couple began their auctioneering journey in early 2009 when they completed a one-week training course at Continental Auctioneer School in Mankato. After getting licensed and bonded, the two were ready for business. In the following months, the Stevens conducted a couple of on-site auctions in Eagan and St. Paul, where they leased space briefly.

“We wanted to do onsite estate auctions,” Kendra said. This plan was not to be, as the entrepreneurs contracted with a woman who wished to get rid of about $10,000 worth of Elvis memorabilia. The Stevens knew they had to move quickly to acquire space in order to fulfill their agreement. They found space near Interstate 35 and County Road 46, and after a couple of questionable weeks of auctioning with fewer than 20 people in attendance, the business began to grow unexpectedly fast. “It grew like we could not have imagined,” Josh noted. “Now, we average over 100 at an auction.” According to Kendra, she and her husband are a little sad to be leaving Lakeville for another location because some of their longtime customers will not be able to continue attending their auctions on account of the greater distance. She added that the regulars would also miss out on the fun, too. “It’s become a social life,” Kendra explained. “A lot of our customers have become friends after meeting at auctions.” Kendra said that there were enough professional antique dealers and collec-

tors who would be more than willing to drive to Cannon Falls. As saddened as they are to move, however, the change is providing a great opportunity for the Stevens. “We’re really excited,” Kendra said, noting that the new location will offer nearly three times the amount of space, more TV monitors for audience members to view, a superior audio system and food service. “We’re going to have a catering company come in and serve hot dinners,” Kendra said. The new location, located at 3164 65th Ave., Cannon Falls, was built specifically for auctions, and “he has been trying to find an auctioneer,” Josh said, referring to the owner. Along with their business name and merchandise, the Stevens will be bringing their 11 employees with them. That figure has grown with the business, too. When the business first started, A New Day only had two employees. Kendra said it was the growth that she and her husband were most proud of, at least so far in their relatively new endeavor. “We’re successful, and we’re really proud of that,” she noted.

Fundraiser to celebrate life of fallen Rosemount soldier July 16 event to benefit area military families BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS He may have paid the ultimate price for his country, but a Rosemount soldier lives on in many ways. The American Legion Post 1776, 14521 Granada Drive, Apple Valley, will host its annual Ben Kopp memorial bike run Saturday, July 16. Registration begins 9 a.m. at the post. The bike run will begin and finish in Apple Valley, starting 11 a.m. A presentation at Post 1776 will follow the ride, beginning 6:30 p.m. All proceeds will be used to provide prosthetics and rehabilitation for area military men and women. Cpl. Benjamin S. Kopp of Rosemount died July 18, 2009, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C. Kopp was initially injured eight days prior in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, after insurgents had attacked his unit. Kopp received initial treatment in the field, but was eventually transported to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he was placed in an induced coma. The doctors attempted to reduce swelling in Kopp’s brain, which was the result of a gunshot wound received during the attack. As devastating as losing her son was to Jill Stephenson, she knew from previous conversations that Ben wished to be an organ donor. Stephenson, already in the area, became aware of the Washington Regional Transplant Community, referred to as an organ procurement organization, or OPO. “They told me I could designate a recipient, but I didn’t know anyone at first on the designated list,” Stephenson said. Stephenson soon created a page on the Caring Bridge website, where she posted a message informing readers that her son had passed away as a result of his injuries. She also talked about her family’s history of organ donation. Stephenson submitted a post on the Caring Bridge site in October 2009 about being invited to speak in Dallas, for the National Learning Congress on Organ Donation and Transplantation. “I knew he wished to be an organ donor, and how this has helped my healing process,” she wrote. “Also in my case, I spoke of my family history in organ donation.” Stephenson continued to explain how her brother J.T. died nearly 30 years ago, and how her family donated his organs as well. “I have carried that with me all of these years and vowed to do the same when my time came,” she noted. “Ben and I did talk

about this and he noted in his own living will to donate “whatever organs are needed” should he die.” Stephenson has stuck to her son’s wishes, as many individuals could potentially be helped due to Ben’s dedication to donating his organs in the event of death. She eventually received an uplifting message on Caring Bridge from her cousin who lives in Chicago. Her cousin’s friend, Judy Meikle of Winnetka, Ill., would eventually become the recipient of Ben Kopp’s heart. “When I read that letter, it was like a big rubber hammer hitting me on the head,” Stephenson said. “I was able to designate her as the recipient of Ben’s heart because she is a friend of my cousin.” She and Meikle formed a tight bond in the weeks that followed Stephenson’s first learning about Meikle. “I am privileged to know Ben’s heart recipient. Judy is a wonderful model of zest and zeal, and I feel so absolutely blessed to see firsthand how receiving Ben’s heart has changed her life,” Stephenson wrote on the site. Both Stephenson and Meikle will speak during the evening portion of the July 16 fundraiser. “I will probably shoot from the hip,” Stephenson said, adding that she will likely thank all those for being there to honor Ben’s life, remembering his sacrifice not only as a soldier, but also as an organ donor. Professionals in the organ donation field told Stephenson that her son’s organs could help between 50 and 75 lives. Mark Ceminsky, commander of the 1776 American Legion Riders, said that although the post has been involved in other activities in Ben’s honor for a couple of years, this is the first it will be in Kopp’s name. “We have had rides before this, but from this point on, they will be for Ben,” Ceminsky explained. Ceminsky said that each year the riders select a different route, and this year’s route, which he estimated to be about 150 miles, will have one special stop – Veterans Park in Prescott, Wis. “Ben liked to visit that park, so we made it a point to have it as one of our stops,” Ceminsky said. Ceminsky went on to say that, based on a Facebook page created for the event, the Kopp ride could draw as many as 170 riders. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to cover operational costs, as 90 percent of the funds will go back out in donations, according to Ceminsky.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 13 • 1:05PM

On a typical summer weekday morning, it’s not the ice-cream truck that keeps Apple Valley and Lakeville children squirming with anticipation on the curb. The wagon they wait for is of a more local flavor, bringing joy and free entertainment on a weekly basis. The children are waiting for the Puppet Wagon, where each week offers new opportunities for puppeteers to share valuable life lessons, silly songs, and laughs for all ages – a tradition brought to life now for more two decades in both Apple Valley and Lakeville. “I remember the Puppet Wagon from when I was a kid,” said first-time Apple Valley puppeteer Dominique Herskind. “I love it. And, now that I’m working here, I get to be a complete goofball.” The Apple Valley Puppet Wagon has been bringing goofballs to life for more than 32 years. In the wagon, old newspaper clippings and signatures from former puppeteers pepper the walls where the next generation chooses from over hundreds of puppets to put on a show. According to fellow Apple Valley puppeteer Amanda Johnston, the variety makes brainstorming a treat. “I like it because you’re creating everything,” she said. “You’re in control of what you do.” Lakeville puppeteer Anna Swetala agrees. “We’re able to play,” Swetala said. “We don’t have to be serious all the time and can have a lot of fun with it.”

Established in 1989 and funded by the Lakeville Rotary Club, the Lakeville Puppet Wagon looks forward to the steady improvements each year. “It’s the first week, but it’s going to be a very good summer,” said Lakeville puppeteer Dan Sandberg. “There’s great chemistry between the performers, and sometimes it’s hard [not to laugh] into the microphone when something funny happens.” Funny things are bound to happen with each show,as audience members keep the performers on their toes through interactions with the puppets.According to Herskind,it’s often the parents that speak up and laugh the loudest. “I enjoy watching the kids enjoy the puppet shows,” said Lakeville parent Tanya Hilliard. “They know when it is, and are always ready to go. It’s a great service that [the Puppet Wagon] does.” Working in the Puppet Wagon can involve long hours wearing thick puppets, often on hot summer days. However, from the smiles and laughter from behind the curtain,the puppeteers seem to enjoy their work. “When we pull in, everyone is happy,” said Apple Valley Puppet Wagon coordinator Marcie Padgett. “It’s an environment of happiness, and there is nothing but this puppet show for the next 15 minutes.” For Lakeville Puppet Wagon coordinator Patty Dexter, this environment of happiness comes directly from the hands behind the puppets. “The experience, the desire and the passion – we can’t train those things,” Dexter said. “They have to come inwardly, from the puppeteers themselves.” To learn more about the Apple Valley and Lakeville Puppet Wagon showtimes, visit ci.apple-valley.mn.us and ci.lakeville.mn.us.

Know Your Professional Gardner Construction prides itself on its foundation Pride in workmanship and an enduring history is at the core of Gardner Construction’s foundation. The company’s roots go back to the days just after World War II when Rob Gardner’s father started the business. Today, Rob and his brother, Jerry, run their own company, specializing in foundation repair, concrete repair, and installation for over 30 years. Their brother, Richard, is an important part of the team. “We repair deteriorating foundations, repair or replace walls, install drain tile systems, repair or replace steps, garage floors and sidewalks. We remove and replace floors, driveways, and patios,” Rob said. “We’ve done it a long time. We’re a second-generation

repair company, so we’re familiar with older houses.” The company has built a solid reputation based on professional craftsmanship, reliability and outstanding service to its customers. The brothers’ extensive experience and skill gives customers confidence that the job is in capable hands and will withstand the test of time. Rob and Jerry, as well as their nearly 20 employees, are committed to the company’s foundation and the satisfaction of its customers. The company’s teams are cross-trained in construction skills. Rob added, “Most of our top guys have done it for ten years. The majority of our employees have fami-

lies of their own. They’re all local people from the area.” Rob and Jerry know that, like their company’s family groundwork, it’s essential to have employees who understand the importance of a strong foundation, as well as employees who customers can trust. In addition to their good-natured characters, the employees of Gardner Construction are committed to providing customers with upfront and timely information, accommodating the customer’s schedule. When customers call, someone from Gardner Construction answers questions and sets up an appointment for an estimate. “We try to meet with the customer the same day, if

possible,” Rob said. If Gardner Construction is hired, they provide a detailed timeline of when the work will begin and when it will be completed. “Through the years, the company has grown due to satisfied customers giving referrals to their neighbors, friends and families,” Rob said. With Gardner Construction’s historic background, customers can rest assured the company isn’t going anywhere. Rob explained, “We’re a small enough company to offer personal service, but big enough to have strength behind it. It sets us apart.” For more information, call 612-850-6335 or 952-431-9970.

Eagan High School grad honors dad with latest book BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Getting thoughts onto paper can be a cathartic and healing exercise. For class of ‘98 Eagan High School alum Tyrel Nelson, this process not only helped him publish his third book, but also provided an outlet to deal with his grief following the passing of his father this past Valentine’s Day. “Those Darn Stripes” is a 94-page collection of personal short stories published May 11 by CreateSpace, an Internet-based publishing service. Nelson’s first two books largely dealt with his travels in Central and South America, but his latest publication takes on a different tone. In doing so, Nelson says the book’s title reflects the growing honesty he used in crafting it. “My original intention with this project was to reveal more of myself, and I believed that if I was going to do so, I had to show all of my stripes, whether they were pleasing, embarrassing, or just plain ugly,” the 31-yearold said. Nelson had completed more than 15 stories for this book when he found out that his father, Jay Nelson, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in last October. Chapters 18-25 of “Those Darn Stripes” deal with Nelson’s life after receiving the news. “I was with him every day until he passed away,” Nelson said. “I’m very lucky to have had those last four months with him.” Nelson graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor’s in journalism and Spanish Studies in 2003. He lives in Bloomington with his girlfriend, Alyssa Nier. Nelson met Nier on a Habitat for Humanity trip to Guatemala in 2010. The two had never met before, but ended up spending roughly 36 hours alone together during layovers and the flight to Central America, Nier said. They’ve been inseparable ever since. “I love it,” Nier said of the book. “Every time I read it, it makes me cry because I think of his dad.” Nier said Nelson pays attention to the details in stories, which give them a personal touch. “He actually goes through his stories and counts how many times he used certain words,” Nier said. “He really plays around with the words to make the story.” Writing the book helped Nelson come to terms with what he had felt during those last few months of his dad’s life. The book was largely written as tribute to his dad, whom he also ded-

Eagan High school graduate Tyrel Nelson recently completed his third book, “Those Darn Stripes,” which was published May 11. The book is a collection of 25 short stories from Nelson’s life and honors his late father, Jay Nelson, who passed away this past Valentine’s Day. (Submitted photo) icated it to. He encourages people to read the book to understand the impact his father had on his son’s life. “I feel the world lost this wonderful man, and I wanted to share that with the readers,” Nelson said. Lena Luckritz met Nelson when the two studied abroad in Venezuela in 2002 as college students. She said the honesty and emotion he put into this novel should resonate with readers. “I think it’s an excellent book,” Luckritz said. “Anyone can really relate to it – anyone going through loss of any kind. It’s comforting to read it.” Nelson had worked for the St. Paul Public Schools foundation between

November 2009 to December 2010 as part of the Volunteers in Service to America program. There, he met Andra Bosneag and the two became friends over common interests of crossword puzzles and drinking lots of coffee, Bosneag said. She has read his previous books, and thinks his latest work displays Nelson’s growth as an author over the past few years. “His writing style has matured, and the stories involving his father have such strong emotional holds that you feel as if you’ve known Jay all your life,” Bosneag said. As for a future project, Nelson said he has written a few chapters of a novel, his first foray into fiction writing.

“My dad always told me I should try fiction out, too,” Nelson said. “This is my new challenge. It’s quite new to me, actually.” Ultimately, Nelson hopes this book honors his dad, who he considers to be his mentor, and whose wisdom he has taken to heart. “He was my best friend,” Nelson said. “I talked to him every day. He wore his heart on his sleeve and he was a very proud man. What you saw is what you got with my dad. I hope to reach that level of self-confidence someday.” “Those Darn Stripes” can be purchased online at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com.

Scrapbooking store starts a new page in Apple Valley Owners hope location will serve as model for future stores BY MICHAEL RICCI â&#x20AC;˘ SUN NEWSPAPERS Capitalizing on the growing trend of scrapbooking, a new craft supply store is seeking to help customers bind their fond and cherished memories. Pages, located at 14050 Pilot Knob Road, Apple Valley, officially opened its doors for business May 1, primarily to serve scrapbooking enthusiasts but also to feature and sell a variety of other craft supplies. It is owned and operated by Megan Sherwin, an Eastview High School graduate. According to Sherwin, her store is distinct from others in a few ways. In addition to providing supplies for many different crafts, Pages also features different styles and colors of paper associated with area high schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets us apart is that we have the custom high school paper and stickers,â&#x20AC;? Sherwin said. The area high

schools to which she referred include Eastview, Eagan, Rosemount, Apple Valley and Lakeville North and South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be exclusively related to scrapbooking,â&#x20AC;? Sherwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scrapbooking is our main focus, but we want to expand into different or increase the creativity into different ways of art from photography to mixed media.â&#x20AC;? Sherwin explained that mixed media referred to various types of works, such as customized tin boxes for just about any purpose imaginable and shadow boxes, generally a collection of various photographs combined into one piece of craft work. She is also involved in a larger business-related concept with her father and two brothers. The four all own Sherwin Enterprises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to build owner-operated business plans that allow owner-operators to be successful,â&#x20AC;? Sherwin said. Pages is similar to a franchise, but comes without franchise fees and other related costs. Ultimately, Sherwin and her business partners want to help SCRAPBOOKING: TO PAGE 21

FROM PAGE 21 potential owner-operators open 10 Pages stores in the area – stores they can help the owners in sustaining. “This is one venture we are taking as Pages. We want to create community-based stores, so that people can reinvest in their community,” she noted. In her best estimation, Sherwin said there are only three main competitors in the same field, all of which possess a corporate feel, according to Sherwin. It is exactly that type of feel, she says, that Pages is aiming to stay away from. Just as Sherwin Enterprises designed a concept for potential future stores, the decision to open in Apple Valley was equally by design. The group of family entrepreneurs specifically selected the location of its first Pages to be near its neighboring communities. “It is a community that invests in family, and this is the type of business that preserves family memories,” she said. Inside Pages’ doors, one has access to all of the store’s craft accessories, as well as its back room, which is available for customers to use either individually or as groups. All that is required to use this space is advanced scheduling. The store additionally facilitates what Sherwin referred to as remote events. These mobile scrapping events are usually done for schools, churches and various retreats. “We bring the store on location,” Sherwin said. “We will actually bring out supplies and customized kits on location. It’s actually a free service. They pay for supplies, but for us to come there it is free.” For more information, go to pagesmn.org.

North’s Piekarski moves on to St. Cloud State; Erickson probably has played his final game BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS For one former Lakeville North player, the Minnesota High School All-Star Football Game is a steppingstone to a college football career. For another, it’s the end of the line. In August, Bret Piekarski will leave for St. Cloud State, where he hopes to eventually earn a spot on the Huskies’ offensive line. Al Erickson is leaving the game, albeit reluctantly. Foot injuries troubled him for much of his high school career, and doctors told him they would probably continue if he attempted to play college football. They advised him not to play, and Erickson took the advice. He will enroll in the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. “I have Yao Ming’s injury,” Erickson said, referring to the Houston Rockets center whose NBA career has been short-circuited by foot injuries. “I had an offer from South Dakota and a lot of interest from Western Illinois. “I’m pretty sure I’d have gone to South Dakota if I could play football. But to play at the Division I level, you have to be 100 percent every time, and I still have this foot injury.” Erickson played defensive back for the South team in its 17-7 loss to the North all-stars June 25 at TCF Bank Stadium. He wore No. 45 in honor of for-

BLAZE BASEBALL: TO PAGE 29

Burnsville wins Class 3A baseball title with six runs in the seventh BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Burnsville’s baseball players have Tshirts with “Believe” printed on the back, but a five-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning is enough to shake anybody’s faith. “I’ll admit it. In the seventh inning, I started to have doubts,” senior catcher Justin Threlkeld said. “But this is the most resilient team I’ve ever been on.

We’re not quitters.” Moments earlier the Blaze had shown those willing to sit through a chilly rain at Target Field why it should never be counted out. Burnsville scored six runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Maple Grove 6-5 in the state Class 3A championship game June 22. Burnsville (24-3), which had played in the state tournament four other times, including last year, won its first title. Bo Hellquist, who earlier in the game was chewed out by Blaze coach Mick Scholl for not running out a popup, hit a two-out, two-run single just inside the first-base line to touch off Burnsville’s celebration.

“The count got to 1-2, and the last thing you want to do is take strike three,” said Hellquist, the Blaze’s junior designated hitter. “I had to be ready to hit it if it was close to the plate. I was looking for a fastball, and I got one.” “To have Bo Hellquist get the gamewinning hit, that’s just incredible,” Scholl said. “I kind of chewed his butt earlier in the game [when Hellquist failed to run out the popup]. I told him, ‘That’s not how we do it.’ Then he comes through in the seventh inning.”

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy • Sun Newspapers) Erickson, who had a 3.95 high school grade-point average, said he’s not yet sure of his career path, but “I’d like to stay in sports in some way. Maybe something at Nike.” Piekarski said plans are for him to redshirt at St. Cloud State in the 2011 season, then compete for a spot at offensive tackle the following year. He said he hopes to play at 275 pounds; he was 225 in his senior year at Lakeville North. Playing in the all-star game “is an honor,” Piekarski said. “On our [South] team, we have a lot of guys who are used to playing against each other, and now we’re teammates. It makes you want to go out and work hard.” The SCSU football program was scheduled to be eliminated because of an athletic budget shortfall before students agreed to a fee increase that saved the sport. That disrupted recruiting, but the Huskies still were able to land several Minnesota players. “It’s a good school in a good conference [Northern Sun], and I didn’t want to go too far away from home,” Piekarski said. Lakeville High School was a state power in football, winning the Class 5A championship in 2003 before the opening of Lakeville South in 2005 created a second football program in the community. Football in Lakeville has remained competitive. A team from Lakeville has been in the state playoffs every year since 2005. “I think it’s coaching,” Piekarski said. “[Larry] Thompson was head coach at North, then took a lot of his guys to South. But the coaches who stayed at North learned from one of the best.”

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS C.J. Smith and Frank Veldman didn’t always see themselves as future college football players, let alone teammates. But things can change quickly in the world of high school athletics, and now Smith and Veldman are headed to North Dakota State to play football. They’ll even room together there. They were teammates on the South squad in the Minnesota High School All-Star Football Game on June 25 at TCF Bank Stadium. The North team won the 38th annual all-star game 17-7. Veldman was ready to quit football after his sophomore season and concentrate on basketball and track at Eastview High School. The Eastview football coaches convinced him to stick with football, and in his senior year the defensive back/wide receiver/punter was a Mr. Football award finalist.

Smith said there was a time when he thought his future was in basketball, and he was a solid contributor for the Burnsville High School varsity. But he had a breakout football season last fall, rushing for 1,198 yards and 16 touchdowns. At some point in their NDSU careers, Veldman and Smith could be playing in the same defensive backfield. Veldman is projected as a strong safety for the Bison, while Smith will play cornerback. It might seem to be a strange set of circumstances for two players who were rivals in high school, but Smith and Veldman said they are already used to the idea of being teammates. Spending a week together at practice for the high school all-star game helped. The needling has already started. “We were watching highlight tapes of some of the players in the game,” Smith said. “It was mostly to see what the players could do, but we [Smith and Veldman] did have some things to say about each other.” Veldman, a nine-time medal winner at the state track and field meet, was the sixth member of his family to play in the all-star game. His father, cousin and three uncles also played in the event.

“It’s been great,” Veldman said at the all-star game’s media day last week. “We have one of the toughest conferences [South Suburban] in the state, and a lot of us have played against each other. It’s good to have these guys as teammates.” Neither Smith nor Veldman knows if he will be redshirted at NDSU in 2011, but both said they would be OK with whatever the coaches decide. “They have two corners back and two corners coming in,” Smith said. “So I hope to go in and compete for a spot, if not this year, then next year.” NDSU, which plays in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) recruited several Minnesota players who competed in the all-star game. One of the players already on the Bison roster is wide receiver Zach Vraa, who won the 2009 Mr. Football award while playing for Rosemount. Veldman summarized NDSU’s attraction for Minnesota players. “First of all, it’s good football,” he said. “And the location is perfect. It’s not too close to home and not that far away.”

Notebook: Burnsville’s Anderson wins 2 major softball awards BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Burnsville pitcher Kelsey Anderson finished her high school softball career by winning the state’s two major individual awards. Earlier this month, Anderson was named Gatorade Minnesota Player of the Year. Last week she was named Ms. Softball at a Minnesota Minutemen banquet in Minneapolis. She was 19-3 with a 0.67 ERA this spring for the Blaze, which won the South Suburban Conference championship and reached the Class 3A, Section 3 finals. Anderson had 212 strikeouts in 168 1/3 innings and had 12 shutouts. Also one of the Blaze’s top hitters, she batted .400 with 18 RBI and had a .576 slugging percentage. Her most impressive performances might have been in two games Anderson didn’t win. She pitched 22 innings in one day against Bloomington Jefferson in the Section 3 finals. Jefferson, needing two victories to win the section, took the first game 2-1 in 15 innings. Thirty minutes later, Anderson came out for the second game and held Jefferson to one run in seven innings before the game was suspended because

of darkness. The next day, Jefferson pushed across a run in the eighth inning to win 2-1 and take the section title. As a junior, Anderson was 24-3 with a 0.39 ERA and 303 strikeouts in 181 innings for a Burnsville team that won the state Class 3A championship. She pitched no-hitters in the state quarterfinal and semifinal rounds. Anderson will play college softball at Winona State University. Sara Moulton of Eagan, who now pitches for the University of Minnesota, was the 2010 Ms. Softball and was Gatorade Minnesota Player of the Year each of the last two seasons.

They’re drafted Burnsville High School graduate Eddie Wittchow was selected by the Florida Panthers in the sixth round of the NHL draft June 25 at Xcel Energy Center. He was the 154th overall selection. Wittchow, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound defenseman, had 11 goals and 15 assists as a senior at Burnsville, which won the South Suburban Conference championship. Wittchow is expected to play at least one season of Junior A hockey before going on to college.

Eagan resident Joseph LaBate was selected in the fourth round (101st overall) by Vancouver. The 6-4, 180-pound center scored 52 points (29 goals, 23 assists) and had a plus-27 rating for Holy Angels last season. LaBate has signed with the University of Wisconsin.

Golf champions Ryan Peterson of Eagan had a dominating performance last week at the Minnesota Golf Association Players Championship. The tournament, which is the state amateur men’s match play championship, took place at Deacon’s Lodge in Pequot Lakes. According to the MGA, Peterson was under par in each of his six matches and was 8 under for the week. None of his matches went beyond the 16th hole. He defeated Devin Holmes 5 and 4 in the championship match. Peterson was a two-time state high school individual champion at Eagan and helped the Wildcats win the 2005 state large-school team championship. NOTEBOOK: TO NEXT PAGE

Blaze Baseball FROM PAGE 27 Maple Grove (26-2) scored five times in the fifth inning against Burnsville starting pitcher Quinn Johnson, although only two of those runs were earned. The Blaze went out quietly in the fifth and sixth innings, giving no indication of what was to come. Senior Adam Lambrecht relieved Johnson and faced eight batters in 2 1/3 innings, striking out four. Little did he realize he was in line for his second pitching victory of the state tournament (Lambrecht was the starter and winner in Burnsville’s Class 3A semifinal victory over Rochester Century on June 17). Hellquist led off the Burnsville seventh with a single, with Luke Wheeler coming in to pinch-run. A one-out double by junior left fielder Tyler Hill scored Wheeler. Hill scored from second on Dan Motl’s infield single, a play that Scholl said energized the Burnsville dugout. Andy Lieser walked, at which point the Crimson removed starting pitcher Mitchell Bauer and sent in Jacob Schwager. Bauer held Burnsville – which scored at least six runs in each of its seven postseason games – to three hits over the first six innings. “He was able to spot his fastball and curve, and in high school baseball, that’s all you need,” Burnsville shortstop Matt Stemper said. Bauer threw 107 pitches and by the seventh inning, “he didn’t look as sharp,” Scholl said. Stemper, the first Burnsville hitter to face Schwager, singled to score Motl, making it 5-3. Derek Johnson’s grounder to short was the second out but allowed the runners to advance to second and third.

Notebook FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Peterson recently completed his senior season at Colorado State University. Another local player coming back from college and having success is Natalie Samb, a Burnsville High School graduate who was part of the winning team in the Minnesota Women’s State Amateur Four-Ball Championship for the second consecutive year. Samb, who just completed her sophomore year at Wichita State, teamed with Olivia Lansing for a seven-stroke victory

That brought Threlkeld to the plate. “I thought he was going to end it,” Hellquist said. Maple Grove might have thought the same thing because the Crimson walked Threlkeld, taking the unusual step of intentionally putting the potential game-winning run on base. Tyler Hanson was hit by a pitch, forcing in Lieser with Burnsville’s fourth run of the inning. That gave Hellquist, re-entering for his second at-bat of the inning, to end one of the state baseball tournament’s most memorable games. “This is the way we’ve played all year,” Stemper said. “We’re capable of scoring a lot of runs at any time.” Burnsville lost to Eden Prairie in the 2010 Class 3A title game at Target Field. Immediately after that game, the Blaze set a goal of getting back to downtown Minneapolis in 2011 and winning. “To be the first team from Burnsville to win it, it’s amazing,” Stemper said. So what’s next for Stemper and several other key Burnsville players who will be back next spring? “Do it all over again,” he said.

State tourney notes • Hellquist, Hill, Johnson and Lieser were named to the all-tournament team. Hellquist was 6-for-11 in the state tournament with three runs and five RBI. Hill was 4-for-7 with five runs and three RBI. Johnson pitched a two-hit shutout in the state quarterfinals against Bemidji and started the state championship game. Lieser was 6-for11 with three runs and four RBI. • Threlkeld, Stemper and Motl were named All-State by the state coaches association. Threlkeld is a senior, and Stemper and Motl are juniors. • Burnsville was a Silver Winner in the coaches association’s Academic-All State Awards. Senior infielder Derek Johnson was an individual Academic All-State winner. Eastview was a Gold Winner, and Eagan and Rosemount also earned Silver awards. Eastview senior Alec Knop also was an Academic All-State selection. June 7-8 at Interlaken Golf Club in Fairmont. Last year Samb and Natalie Lansing (Olivia’s younger sister) took the championship at Hastings Country Club. Samb and Olivia Lansing had the lowest score in each of the two rounds in this year’s tournament, including a 69 in the final round that cemented the victory. Samb helped lead Burnsville to the 2007 state high school Class 2A championship.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
