Burnsville HS students to perform fall musical Seven weeks rehearsing ‘Once Upon A Mattress’ BY MICHAEL RICCI SUN NEWSPAPERS This particular play has not been performed since 1995, but that doesn’t mean director Randy Day is asking anything less from his student thespians. The Burnsville High School Theater Guild is bringing the Broadway classic “Once Upon A Mattress” to the school’s Mraz Center stage Nov. 3-12. The play serves as BHS’s fall musical for 2011, coinciding with the 51st season of theater at the school. According to Day, who’s been functioning as theater director at BHS for the past 17 years, rehearsals for the upcoming performances of the play began in late September, which posed a time constraint. “Normally musicals should rehearse for seven to eight weeks, especially at this level with high school students,” Day said. “We’re doing this a little shorter. We’re doing it in about seven, just under seven weeks actually.” The time crunch largely was the result of kids sim-

Eagan realtor going above and beyond Specializes in helping clients deal with host of issues unrelated to job description BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS After experiencing the death of her parents and the ensuing burden of preparing their home for sale, one Eagan realtor has expanded her duties to assist others going through similar situations. Anne Saatela, a realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Realty in Eagan, knows all too well the burden associated with the loss of two parents, and the subsequent preparation and sale of their home, but what she was not expecting at the time was how her experience would transform her future. In 2000, Saatela was working a corporate job in information technology, enjoying it all. But when her father passed away at the age of 70 and her mother also passed away 11 months later at the same age, Saatela became overwhelmed. “It was not a fun time at all,” she said, adding that she was their informal caregiver as well as for her sister, who underwent heart transplant surgery around the same time. “All that was left was me and my brother,” she said. “My brother is 10 years older, and he lives on the East Coast.” Trying to juggle her job and what to do with her parents’ house, which was in Eau

Claire, Wis., took a lot of time and had its own cost, according to Saatela. “Through this whole thing, I couldn’t grieve,” she said. “I couldn’t help my kids through the grieving process because we had to deal with this, and I was the only one who was physically there.” For Saatela, the experience was draining and to her simply did not seem fair. “I just thought, when all was said and done, ‘This is not fair,’” she said. “You’re a caregiver for your family and for your parents. You go through this loss and then you are stuck with this house.” It was at this time Saatela had a revelation with regard to how such situations should be handled. “What should happen is you should just get your sentimental stuff that you want out of the house and then turn to somebody and say, ‘It’s your deal. You go for it. Now you can take care of it. I’m done,’” she said. “At the end of 2005, I decided to just totally turn my life upside down. I went out at got my real estate license.” The marked the beginning of a new journey in Saatela’s life, one she described as a “calling” and as a “ministry.” Saatela spent the next few years building a base of

contacts, people who she trusts and works with to this day. “I spent all these years going around talking to social workers, to lawyers, to all kinds of people … about what I do,” she said. “I have over 750 people in my database. I have a lot of people who do a lot of things for seniors.” Saatela arranges estate sales, after individuals remove all sentimental items, and she arranges for any work needed on a home, such as removing wallpaper, painting, replacing a roof, and coordinating truth in housing inspections. Of course, the work is not free, but because of Saatela’s careful selection of contacts, those in her database are very reasonably priced, Saatela said. “I do not mark it up,” she said. “I do not charge for any of the coordination services. That’s why I can tell you no other real-

‘I do not mark it up. I do not charge for any of the coordination services. That’s why I can tell you no other realtor does this because they all think I’m crazy. ’

tor does this because they all think I’m crazy.” Edina resident Joan Shasky is one of Saatela’s past clients who lost both parents within a week of each other. Shasky got Saatela’s name from an attorney involved in her parents’ estate. She then turned to Saatela for help. “That’s where [Saatela] steps in and says, ‘This will not be a problem,’” Shasky said, adding that Saatela provided her with a long list of contacts to call for help her with an estate sale and more. “I had a trip planned and had to be out of town for the weekend,” Shasky said of the estate sale. “I came back home, drove from the airport and walked into my parents’ house. All was gone. It was immaculate, and I didn’t have to do anything.” Of all who Shasky contracted with for work on her parents’ house, she said, “They were reasonably priced.” Shasky added that Saatela is very particular about whom she does business with and that they were ethical and moral people. “It was wonderful,” she said of her experience with Saatela. “I would highly recommend her to anyone in that situation. She just fills in.”

The changing world of gathering news Maybe it’s my age or perhaps a generational thing that has caused me to notice, but the world of print media seems to be changing considerably from not too long ago. The use of a pen or pencil and a reporter’s notebook is becoming used less to new forms of newsgathering, which requires one to remain knowledgeable and engaged in these techniques. When I began my career in the media in the mid-’90s, most new technology was not available, thus requiring all of us in the field to pick up telephones, get in our vehicles, and travel to destinations near and far. This was in broadcast media, but the gathering techniques were on par with print, mostly. The Internet had not taken hold, and of course it did not yet have the impact on people in the way it seems to affect us all in many ways. And even then, my image of a reporter,

MICHAEL RICCI Burnsville/Lakeville Community Edtor

from old TV shows and movies, was that of a busy man with messy clothes and perhaps a 5 o’clock shadow, and a “press” ID in his hat while wearing a trench coat. In fact, this idea of an “old school reporter” is so outdated that it is now being offered to all as a Halloween costume. It’s not and certainly has not been a representation of what a modern-day reporter looks like. Now, we like everyone else from many walks of life. If you are a movie or TV fan, I am sure you’ve seen images of an old newsroom. The reporters, in between Lou Grant yelling to finish their sto-

ries yesterday, were still hammering away on old word processors, or maybe even typewriters. And with no walls to separate reporters from one another, it was chaos, and loud. This atmosphere fortunately does not exist here at Sun Newspapers, but it still does elsewhere. The difference, however, is it exists only in the energy that comes with reporting the news on deadline. In our time of nearly instant notification of events, or just communication in general, all of the old tools have been pushed aside to make room for more than just computers but all these are capable of. Much work is done by monitoring sites online, and in some cases, the Internet is the primary source for news tips. Some reporters no longer take notes with pad and pen but instead type notes either during an interview or after, hav-

ing recorded the entire conversation with a digital voice recorder. You still see reporter’s notebooks, but certainly an alternative is being used as well. The gathering process makes it advantageous to any reporter to know of and how to use new software and online sites daily. Instead of a fax, we have portable document files, (PDFs). These replaced the traditionally faxed news releases. We still have a fax machine here, but it’s not used a great deal. Online streaming has made it possible to view meetings without leaving the office. In other words, a reporter can either watch a meeting remotely as it is occurring or watch it at another time. With the advent of sites like Facebook, Twitter, the COLUMN: TO NEXT PAGE

Sure, don’t vote, and see if I care (I do) It’s your right not to vote. No, really, it is. It’s foolish, but you’re well within your rights to stay home on Nov. 8 and not participate in the processes that have a distinct effect on your life. No one’s going to show up at your door and haul you off for avoiding the polls. Everyone knows voting is a pretty darn good thing to do, but apparently that’s not enough to get the unmotivated moving, so here’s hoping this column nudges you off the couch and into the voting box. Break it down however you want – as a nation, state, county or city, we are governed by individuals who are placed into positions of power by a voting process. Without this process, we’d be no better than a lawless mob. We rely on

DANIEL CALLAHAN Sun-Current Managing Editor

that process to ensure we have leadership divined by the people to be the best we can come up with. And, if they’re not the best, at least the people choose our own elected officials. In my mind, they should be chosen by all the people. At least those who can vote. According to George Mason University’s United States Elections Project, about 2,123,369 Minnesotans voted in the 2010 general elections. The project also states that 3,799,328 Minnesotans were

considered eligible to vote that year. Simple math will show that 1,675,959 legally eligible voters decided it wasn’t worth the time. There are those who do not care about the outcomes of elections. Those who feel the process has gone awry or honestly just don’t care about the quality of our roads, the education our nation’s – or more specifically, this city’s – children are getting, or the direction in which our tax dollars are being spent. So if that’s your goal, stay home. Turn on the TV, spend an hour or two with the “real” housewives of who-reallycares and check out of active society. It really doesn’t matter. To you anyway. Apparently 44 percent of Minnesotans don’t care, so at

least you won’t be alone in your apathy. But please, please, please don’t think you can only choose to participate when you feel like it and still be taken seriously. If you choose not to educate yourself on the issues, not to get to know the candidates and ultimately not to vote, please don’t sit back in your Laz-E-Boy and complain about how things are going. Again, it’s your right not to vote. And, thanks to the First Amendment – personally, my favorite amendment – it’s your right to grumble and mumble about the sad state of affairs when you couldn’t take the time to exercise your constitutionally protected freedoms. But I don’t want to hear it.

Column FROM PREVIOUS PAGE new OurCommonPlace.com, as well as websites for local governments and many other key news-related institutions, reporters can now monitor activity, engage in any discussions, and most of all we can gather news using these new sources simply with an Internet access. For example, Twitter is being used by the Minnesota Sate Patrol to instantly provide information related to crash scenes, most notably the crash that claimed the life of two construction workers on the Interstate 35W MnPASS land. This allowed for nearly instant, quotable information from a direct source on the scene. Pages like Facebook allow a reporter to “like” an event or an individual to monitor what is happening with the event or whay someone said about. Sometimes this can lead to news if it is not newsworthy itself. As wide-

ly used as it is, though, Facebook does not have what a news site features. The new Burnsville Common Place, a website for local community engagement and for residents to connect and share with their neighbors, gives us the ability to post questions about any imaginable community topic and receive input – in the way of sources – on an almost instant basis. When you are on a deadline, this is ideal. The difficulty as one who did not grow up with all of this new technology is the need to remain on the cutting edge. It does not come as naturally to those my age and older, but I welcome this challenge as my belief is most people will eventually need familiarity with most forms of technology in the years to come. Now, with smartphones being so prevalent in our society, and the ability they have as “mini computers,” it’s not a stretch to say that the future of news gathering and reporting will continue to change. The trick is, as I’ve said, is to stay on top of this so you don’t get left behind.

DUCATIONAL XCELLENCE

How to switch majors successfully

Choosing a major is often met with trepidation. College students may feel pressured to choose a major when they are less than certain about what they want to study. Majors aren’t set in stone and students have the opportunity to switch concentrations if their original choice isn’t the right fit. Perhaps now more than ever, there is pressure on students to pick the right college major. In this weak economy, experts are touting advice

on choosing a major that gives students the best chance of finding a job after graduation. The National Center for Education Statistics says that in 2007-2008, the most popular majors were business, social sciences, history, and education. According to Capital University, students usually have so many interests that they have difficulty narrowing their choices. Their first inclination is not to declare a major and wait to see if they find their niche. In general, two out of every three university students change majors at least once. This should give hope to students who feel they need a chance. Here are some tips that should help with the process. * Wait to declare. Many educators advise waiting a semester or two before declaring a major. Take a variety of elective courses and general

www.minnlocal.com – Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011 – Burnsville & Lakeville Sun-Current

Spotlight on Education “Imagine Your Future” education classes that will fit degree requirements regardless of major. * Take an assessment test. The career or guidance office may offer some of the standardized tools to help students find an area of concentration. * Do your research. If you’re considering a new major, talk to your advisor about what will be required of that new major, including classes and other coursework. You can also talk to students currently studying under that major. Knowing what to expect beforehand can make the decision-making process a little easier. * Talk to the dean. Many colleges and universities have deans or advisors in charge of students in certain majors. They will know the courses required for a degree. Switching majors may involve taking or re-tak-

ing some courses that will fit with the new major. It may also mean that some courses that were taken cannot be applied to the new major. This can result in having to take more classes one semester or taking an extra semester to graduate. * Consider finances. Taking different classes or stretching out your college career an additional semester might cost more money. Be sure that the finances are there, whether personally provided or funded through financial aid. * Assess whether your major truly matters. Many liberal arts or general studies majors are applicable in many fields. Therefore, switching majors may not even be necessary. Think about continuing with a current major and then concentrate or minor in something more specific.

Community website connects BV residents Site links community members with shared interests BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS If you need a pair of golf clubs right now, a referral for a good mechanic, or an idea of a club to join, a new Burnsville-only website may be just what you’re looking for. Known as Burnsville Common Place, the site was launched Oct. 1 just for Burnsville residents, with a minor exception due to ISD 191 district boundaries. The site is a web platform for local community engagement and for residents to connect and share with their neighbors and local leaders. According to Julia Campbell, Burnsville Common Place community organizing fellow, the site can be used for a variety of reasons such as borrowing a ladder, finding a lost cat, starting a book club, promoting an upcoming event, or offering discounts to others on the site. “People here in Burnsville have used it to get recommendations on electricians and auto repair,” Campbell said. “People promote various events.” Even Burnsville Common Place itself is involved in the community concept it promotes. Campbell said BCP is working with the city’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon campaign and 360 Communities, a notfor-profit organization that strives to shape the future of communities by using community engagement. Burnsville Common Place is a division of Common Place USA based at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz invited the group to Burnsville. “We were invited by her to come here and assist Burnsville in being able to more effectively line neighbors with one

another,” Campbell said. “The people who came up with the idea for this site are two Harvard students. They approached her, asking if she would be interested in having the site come to Burnsville.” Kautz was attending a conference for the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which took place at Harvard University. She said the students approached her. “They came to our meeting and wanted to meet me and tell me about all of

‘It really has been an amazing experience to see how neighbors start using this site and start being able to connect with one another.’ this,” Kautz said. “With this, everyone can post what they want, so they know what’s happening in our community. It was really nice because I’m always interested in community engagement so we can have a better understanding of what people want.” According to Kautz, one group in particular will benefit greatly from the citywide exposure. “It gets out there and lets people know that we are going to be a Yellow Ribbon city,” she said. “Military families will know how to contact us through the site.” Campbell said that there is support by alumni and investors who live in the Boston area who believe in civic engagement and not profit. “We are a free service here to Burnsville. Our focus is not on trying to

making profit,” she said. “It did start from a passion of students who are really inspired by trying to make a change within local communities.” Though the site has been up and running for a short time, Campbell said she was pleased with how residents were responding in the early stages. “It really has been an amazing experience to see how neighbors start using this site and start being able to connect with one another,” she said. “I think that Burnsville has a huge involvement of people within the community that want to contribute to Burnsville as a whole, and this is that piece that’s going to be able to link all of those people together.” Campbell added that the site provides a platform for people who want to be more involved and that the site really empowers people to become more active citizens within their communities. Burnsville resident and user of the site Alan Bengston said the site has already provided him with opportunities he might not otherwise have had. “I love getting to know my neighbors better,” he said. “The site has led me to talk to neighbors I might not ever have crossed paths with by starting communications through posting. It’s also nice to get an email at the end of each day letting me know what’s happening in the community. Ronda Rezac, another site user and resident of Burnsville said it would provide her with opportunities. “I love the concept. It is similar enough to the well-known Facebook, but unique enough to try and bring a neighborhood closer together,” she said. “Marketing via work-of-mouth is still the most reliable in my mind, and I plan on using this to get my neighbors advice and recommendations.” She added that it’s local and reinforces the true meaning of community. The site can be found at Burnsville.ourcommonplace.com.

Toastmasters members are assigned roles for each meeting. The “Toastmaster” serves as the host or master of ceremonies. The “Grammarian” presents a word for the day that all members are encouraged to use throughout the meeting. Other members provide a thought for the day, give speeches or provide feedback on each presenter’s speeches.

The “Ah Counter” listens for words and phrases used as pause fillers or verbal crutches – words such as “ah,” “um,” and “you know.” “That feedback helps us to hear our speaking ability, even though we might not want to hear it,” said Vice President of Membership Dave Johnson, who acted as the Oct. 26 meeting General Evaluator. The “General Evaluator” provides feedback to all meeting participants, describing positives as well providing suggestions for improvement. Toastmasters Club 3561 President Jackie Maher joined the club nearly two years ago, and said becoming a member has been invaluable part of her life. “It’s been a great experience – lifechanging in every way,” Maher said. Maher said many new members are instantly hooked and drawn to the club. For many, it’s a highlight of their lives. “I’ve heard many say that this is the best part of their whole week,” she said. “Not only practicing their public speaking skills, but also their leadership skills.” Becoming a Toastmasters member helped Bill Johnson grow socially and as a leader. “Coming to Toastmasters has offered me an opportunity to come out of my shell,” Johnson said. “It’s not a pure social setting, but it’s a setting where people are trying to encourage you.” New Toastmaster club members are assigned mentors who help set goals and benchmarks. New members must present a timeline or framework for how many speeches they will give in any given time. When Jackie Maher joined, she chose to give 10 speeches throughout the first one and a half years of her membership. “It’s really at your pace to help you along the way, which is really nice,”

‘In order to become a leader, you have to find your voice and Toastmasters is where leaders are made.’

Maher said. Toastmasters focuses on two types of speeches, impromptu and prepared, Bill Johnson said. People who work in a management

positions give impromptu speeches constantly, even if they do not realize it. Toastmasters can help refine those TOASTMASTERS: TO NEXT PAGE

Apple Valleybased CitiLink Communications bought out Nextera Communications now has largest fixed wireless service in state BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Apple Valley-based CitiLink Communications was purchased by N e x t e r a Communications earlier this month. Nextera is a wireless telecommunications provider specializing in providing businesses with Internet and telephone service. Nextera offers local telephone service, long distance, service, T-1, DSL, voice over Internet and wireless Internet to businesses throughout the state. With the acquisition of CitiLink, Nextera now has the largest fixed wireless service in the state, said Nextera Marketing Manager Amanda MacDonald. “It was a good fit for us,” said MacDonald. Nextera Communications – based out of Brainerd with offices in Minnetonka, St. Cloud and Duluth – uses towers instead of underground cables for its fixed wireless networks. The company has towers throughout the metro area. “We have towers from Monticello to Ham Lake, to the Lakeville area, in Maple Plain Hanover, Minneapolis, Edina, Bloomington, St. Paul, Oakdale, Burnsville and Apple Valley,” said MacDonald. “Where the tower is located, the probability is pretty good that you could have our service there.”

Nextera’s long-range plans include expansion of its data wireless network to include more towers that provide the combination of voice and data service, said MacDonald. The CitiLink acquisition will provide these services to the underserved communities within the southern metro area. MacDonald said the decision to purchase CitiLink was made in late 2010. “We were looking at expand down in the southern metro suburbs,” said Nextera President Greg Arvig. “It became kind of a natural fit. It gives us a metro-wide footprint.” Nextera’s wireless service is not cellular, which is a common misconception, said MacDonald. Nextera markets itself to small and mid-sized businesses throughout the state, MacDonald said. “Banks and healthcare services are two types of markets that we’re seeing a trend with those businesses using our services,” she said. MacDonald said the company offers primary service, as well as a backup service to its business clients. “For backup, there’s a separate connection or path,” MacDonald said. “If something happens to the primary connection, we can route all their traffic to their wireless backup so they can keep their business running at all times.” One advantage Nextera now has due to the CitiLink acquisition is a greater bandwidth for its Wimax service, a combination of voice and data service. “It’s the next generation wireless service, which has higher capacity,” Arvig said. “It’s a higher quality service than previous technologies.”

‘We were looking to expand down in the southern metro suburbs. It became kind of natural fit.’

Pain - a direct message from the body BY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER Think of pain as the body’s earlywarning system. A sprained ankle, toothache or touching a hot stove causes acute or temporary pain. It’s a warning to get away from the pain source and protect the damaged body part. Most pain disappears after the injury has healed, but sometimes pain persists after the normal healing process ends. In some cases, medical exams or tests can’t identify the source of pain. Chronic pain, generally described as lasting more than three months, can disrupt every part of a person’s life. It can affect physical and mental health, ability to work, sleep and concentrate and perform everyday tasks. Twenty-six percent of American adults report that they have had pain that lasted more than a day, according to the 2006 study by the National Centers for Health Statistics. Almost 60 percent of adults ages 65 years and older reported experiencing pain lasting for one year or more.

Pain can be a symptom of underlying medical problems like diabetes, arthritis and cancer. But a growing number of physicians recognize chronic pain as a disease process in and of itself, according to the American Pain Foundation. Recent research suggests that persistent pain can create structural and chemical changes in the brain that keep pain signals active and can delay healing. Early and aggressive treatment may be the best way to limit the physical harm, which may damage nerves, blood vessels and organs and suppress the immune system, leaving the body vulnerable to infection. “Evidence continues to emerge— from the research lab to clinical practice—that the severity and persistence of pain can be modified through early intervention,” said foundation CEO Will Rowe. Many patients come to the MAPS Medical Pain Clinics two years after the onset of their pain symptoms, said Dr. David Schultz, the clinic’s medical director. MAPS has 10 clinic locations,

including Shakopee and Woodbury. About half of patients have back or neck pain and most are referred by family doctors or other medical specialists, Schultz said. In most cases, painkillers and physical therapy prescribed by physicians have provided little relief, he said. As a result, many are suffering from depression and anxiety that may affect work, family and personal relationships. More than half of clinic patients are already taking daily doses of powerful painkillers, including morphine, Vicodin or OxyContin, Schultz said. “They may work, but they have a dark side to them too,” he said of the opioids. “They’re powerful analgesics, but they don’t really do anything to treat the underlying pain problem. They simply change your perspective on it.” The drugs can also be addictive. Most patients benefit from the MAPS clinics’ multidisciplinary treatment approach, which treats physical and psychological symptoms, Schultz said. Therapies include trigger-point injections of local anesthetic or steroid med-

ications into tender or painful areas of muscle or tissues or nerve blocks, injections of nerve-numbing medication. Other options are implantable neurostimulators to block pain signals or spinal drug pumps to deliver painrelieving medication. Physical therapy can help provide long-term pain relief, improving a patient’s ability to perform everyday activities and prevent re-injury. Behavioral health programs can help patients unravel the psychological and emotional sources of their pain and learn coping and management skills. The goal is pain reduction and improved function for the patient, Schultz said. “Sometimes we can get rid of the pain and it doesn’t come back, but that’s usually not the case,” he said. “More often, we’re dealing with a chronic condition that’s manageable but not curable.” For more information, go to cdc.gov/nchs, painfoundation.org or painsphysicians.com.

Dispelling Chiropractic Myths: Dr. George Franz (the back whisperer) will try to shed some light on this subject.

Pain Management

Chiropractic treats the whole body BY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER When the body hurts, pain relief is priceless. Painkillers and surgery prescribed by conventional medicine may not work. To find answers, a growing number of Americans are turning to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments, which include chiropractic, acupuncture and hypnosis. A recent national survey found that 38 percent of American adults have used CAM treatments. Consumers spent $33.9 billion annually out-of-pocket on CAM treatments, according to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey. A holistic focus on treating the “whole person” is the specialty of Dr. George Franz, a chiropractor and owner of New Concept Chiropractic in Burnsville. He believes that a patient’s lifestyle, diet and environment play a large role in triggering and treating pain problems. Neck and low-back pain are the top patient complaints, and many patients are frustrated when painkillers stop working or pain problems have gotten worse. Physical and pain symptoms are

interconnected, Franz believes. “Somebody’s headaches could be causing low back pain, lack of sex drive, indigestion,” he said. “They could be depressed because they have headaches, so now they slouch.” He counsels patients to eliminate or minimize exposure to allergens or other harmful environmental toxins. Exams include discussions about the patient’s lifestyle, such as posture, exercise and smoking; diet such as caffeine and food additives like MSG; and allergens, such as dust mites and pet dander. Treatment options include stretching, electrical muscle stimulation and adjustment or hands-on manipulation of the spine or joints to correct alignment. Franz refers to himself as a “back whisperer,” a nickname recently given to him by a patient. Last year, he registered the trademark at the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. “I empathize an awful lot with my patients,” Franz said. “When they’re walking, when they’re talking, the way they sit, I can see what’s wrong. “ For more information, go to nccam.nih.gov or newconceptchiroburnsville.com.

In today’s age of growing concern over taking medication or relying on surgery for the relief of pain comes the drug-free natural path of pain management: Chiropractic. During the 7+ years of education D.C.’s have learned to utilize manipulation of the spine to allow the body to heal itself. By adjusting the spine we alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that exit it to reduce and eliminate dysfunction of glands, organ systems, and soft tissues that medication may not have been able to. Firstly, every D.C. has their method of manipulation and their theory on its effect on the body. The key is balance. The muscles of the spine and skeleton must be in sync with one another to allow our body’s normal natural movement through the use of heat and electro stimulation. If appropriate, once the muscles have been “reset” then trigger point therapy is used to reduce the last of the noxious metabolic waste and spasm thus setting the joint up for a longer lasting and thorough manipulation. Secondly, at this time a decision to use adjunctive therapy is determined. This includes ice, Ultrasound, Cold Laser, highly advanced stretching and muscle stripping techniques, and flexion-distraction. Nutrition is paramount. Foods that irritate or slow repair and

recovery should be eliminated at this time. Examples would be red meat, eggs, dairy, caffeinated beverages, and anything that contains msg and gluten. The body is working hard enough, we need not contribute to its load by having it break these types of inflammatory causing foods or ingredients down. Wise choices include fruits and vegetables (preferably organic), herbs, seasonings and low fat seeds and nuts. Some have shown great results using Bromelain, Feverfew, Fennel, Valerian Root, and Passion Flower. To find the right combination, you should however consult with your doctor for your personalized condition. Lastly, careful attention must be paid to diagnose the phase of injury and healing to optimize recovery and ultimate rehabilitation back to pre-injury status. There are very specific protocols that should be followed to allow this to happen. If a particular joint segment is left restricted from normal movement, making the joint stiff or hypomobile, this will likely decrease recovery potential, increase the rate of dehydration and degeneration, and may lead to possible permanent injury or disability. So, the need for proper assessment and treatment not only address today’s pain, but future pain as well.

Domestic abuse is pervasive The most prevalent violence in our communities, says prevention advocate BY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS If the level and amount of violence inside area homes was moved outside, to the visible street corners, “people would be up in arms,” said Bob Olson of Cornerstone, the domestic abuse prevention agency, based in Bloomington. Olson, a retired Eden Prairie police sergeant, said domestic abuse, especially in the suburbs, is the most prevalent form of violence in our communities. That message he regularly shares comes on the heels of October’s domestic violence awareness month. Olson has been working with Cornerstone since his February retirement from the Eden Prairie Police Department, where he served on the Domestic Abuse Response Team, known as DART. The unit won the Minnesota Crime P r e v e n t i o n Association’s Team of the Year Award in October 2010 for its services. That actively works with domestic abuse victims and potential victims to reduce violence in homes. That message is also on the heals of Viking’s defensive back Chris Cook’s felony charge for allegedly strangling his girlfriend at his Eden Prairie residence Oct. 22. In Eden Prairie, Sgt. Dennis Paulson said, from his perspective, there are domestic calls on a regular basis. There is about an arrest once a week and a domestic call of some kind – whether verbal or physical – during every shift, it seems. It doesn’t have to be extreme to be domestic abuse, Paulson said. It could be verbal abuse, a push, a slap, a hit. To further reduce domestic violence, Eden Prairie police, as well as Edina and St. Louis Park, have implemented a lethality screening – questions that officers responding to a domestic call can ask the victim. Bloomington and

Richfield, the other two cities Cornerstone serves, plan on implementing it, Olson said. Cornerstone hired Olson under a federal grant to coordinate prevention and awareness efforts among the five cities Cornerstone serves, the police departments and judicial system. Paulson, now leading Eden Prairie’s DART, said the lethality screening is meant to measure how much of a real or potential danger someone could be in. The screenings are given when responding to all domestic abuse calls involving intimate partners who live together. The first three of the dozen yes or no questions can trigger the biggest alarms, Paulson said. They ask if a partner has ever used or threatened to use a weapon against the other, if the partner has ever threatened children and if the victim thinks if her partner is trying to kill her. They may seem like obvious questions, but the form has created a regimented standard for victims, potential victims, the police department, advocates and the court system. Since Eden Prairie police officers and other departments screen someone in every domestic call, something that could otherwise be missed is accounted for, Olson and Paulson said. Olson offered an example. There was an incident where a police responded to a verbal argument at a home. After talking with and screening the woman while the man was gone, police found out she had been in an abusive relationship for years. If the police had not gone through the screening, they wouldn’t have known. Even though it had not been reported and no criminal action could be taken for the argument, the woman was able to contact Cornerstone and is now receiving help. The streamlined process also helps in court, Olson said. The standard judicial action for a fifth-degree domestic assault for a first-time offender is to release the defendant, with conditions, until the court hearings or trial begins. In one incident, the judge could see from the lethality screening that the defendant was at high risk for violently offending his partner, so the judge,

under his authority of reasonable cause, was able to hold him in jail and set bail at $30,000. Eden Prairie police have started using the assessment since Olson retired, but they have always referred every domestic abuse victim – regardless of the severity of the incident – to Cornerstone. Officers also make contact

Cornerstone after making contact with a victim, so Cornerstone can follow up as well. Olson urges anyone who may be a victim of domestic abuse, or anyone who knows a potential victim, to contact Cornerstone at 952-884-0330 or Day One MN Domestic Violence Crisis Line at 1866-223-1111.

Shirley Jean Groves Shirley Jean Groves, 70, died Saturday, October 22, 2011 peacefully at her home in Lakeville surrounded by family after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Shirley began life in Braggadocio, Missouri on November 30th, 1940. Born to a large, loving family, Shirley knew the meaning of resilience and the importance of love; values that would define her life as well as her passing. Shirley is preceded in death by her parents, George Ash and Rillie Ash-Mitchum, brothers Elmer, Alvie, Franklin, Cletus, and J.B. Ash as well as sisters Annie May and Margie Ann Ash. She is survived by her beloved siblings Opal Johnson (Taft, CA), Melvin Ash (Ruby) (Florissant, MO), Lula Hueppauff (Caruthersville, MO), and Freda Hite (St. Ann, MO). Shirley leaves behind her devoted husband of more than 51 years Thomas Alquire Groves, who was truly the great love of her life. She is survived also by sons Thomas, Jr. (Jacqueline) and Timothy (Heidi) Groves, daughter Kelly (Eric) Groves-Olson, grandchildren Sean Heath, Jennifer Groves, Tamara Groves, Amanda Groves, Amanda Gearty, Allison Groves, Fletcher Olson, Stella Olson, great-grandson Andrew Groves, sisters-in-law Virginia Ash, Edna Ash, Muriel Groves, Virginia Murray, Nina Breiner, cherished brotherin-law Larry Groves (Patti), and many beloved nieces and nephews. Of the lessons that can be drawn from Shirley’s life, none will resonate more than the example she set in her death. She faced the end with unparalleled strength, uncompromising dignity, and a deep, unblinking faith that carried her confidently from this life to the next. She will be loved and missed by a community of family and friends that remains grateful for the impact she had on their lives. Shirley was laid to rest on Wednesday, October 26 at Lakewood Memorial Cemetery. Her family welcomes donations in her name to Fairview Hospice (www.fairview.org) or Angel Foundation (www.mnangel.org).

Student actors Maddie Harpell and Seth Hannasch are among more than 45 students, on stage and behind the scenes, who are producing “Once Upon A Mattress.” The play’s first performance will be 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3. (Photo by Michael Ricci – Sun Newspapers)

Brandon Grygiel participated in rehearsal of “Once Upon A Mattress,” which will be performed eight times beginning 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, with a final performance 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13. (Photo by Michael Ricci – Sun Newspapers)

Musical FROM PAGE 1 Prince Dauntless, whose role the actor described a bit pampered. “Prince Dauntless is a mama’s boy,” Jonathon said. “He’s kind of sheltered until this princess comes.” The princess happens to be the only one of more than a dozen that Dauntless sees as very different from all others. “[Prince Dauntless] really likes her

and stands up to his mother,” he said. “He pretty much says that he doesn’t care what she thinks of who he marries.” Fellow junior Kristina Butler was cast as Princess Winnifred, the love of the prince’s life. “She’s the heroine who is the first princess that makes Dauntless fall in love with her,” Kristina said. “Dauntless has gone through 12 other princesses, and I’m the 13th who finally passes the queen’s test.” Both young actors have some experience performing on stage, as

Jonathon has been involved in theater since junior high school and attributes his influence to his mother. “We would go to different shows at Chanhassen or the high school here,” he said. “That’s the real reason I got into theater.” Kristina, meanwhile, said she began in junior high school as well. “Both my parents have been involved in theater in the past,” she said. “I’m just following in their footsteps.” K r i s t i n a added that she loves performing on stage, but it is the character development that she really finds challenging. “I love being able to develop characters and figure out how to do that because it actually takes a lot of work,” she said. “When you’re developing a character, you have to think how the character would think and what the character would do in certain situations.” According to Day, there will be more than 33 actors on the stage when performances begin, along with 15-20

students working behind the scenes, something Day wishes he could change. “Every time we do a show, it’s unfortunate we can never cast everyone,” he said. “Simply, the demands of the show are such that you don’t need everybody who auditions, and it does make it frustrating as a director, that you hate to see anyone not involved in the show.” “Once Upon A Mattress” will be performed at the Mraz Center 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, and 13, and 3 p.m. Nov. 6. The cost is $8 for students, $9 for seniors, and $10 for adults. Tickets can be purchased online at mrazcentertickets.com for at the door. Day said the performances will be worth every dollar, saying this piece does not have the high school feeling as all expect from the student actors a much more mature attitude toward the craft. He added that this level of intensity is to prepare the students for opportunities beyond high school. “To do it right, you really have to work at it,” he said.

‘Both my parents have been involved in the theater in the past. I’m just following in their footsteps.’

Family Partnership receives national award PetPAC Service agency has offices in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington BY MIKE HANKS – SUN NEWSPAPERS Most years the staff at Family Partnership foregoes the application process for national recognition, considering its accomplishments lacking in some category of the award criteria. In reviewing its accomplishments during the most recent year, however, the Twin Cities organization determined that it met the criteria outlined for the Agency of the Year award presented by the Alliance for Children and Families. The Alliance for Children and Families agreed, naming Family Partnership the recipient of its Agency of the Year Award for mid-size agencies. “To be recognized is really a significant honor for us,” said Molly Greenman, the president and CEO of Family Partnership. The nonprofit organization has a long history in Minnesota. Founded in 1878 to assist families moving to

FROM PAGE 26 Minneapolis from outstate farms and across the country, as well as immigrant populations seeking employment in the burgeoning Minneapolis grain mill and lumber industries, the organization continues its work to this day, providing counseling, education programs and advocacy, Greenman explained. With offices in Minneapolis, Bloomington and Brooklyn Park, the organization works through schools, churches, service organizations, social workers and correctional institutions to assist people with a wide array of issues. From assisting victims of domestic abuse to kindergarten readiness programs, Family Partnership’s staff of about 100, and a network of more than 1,600 volunteers, provide assistance and outreach to residents primarily in Minneapolis, St. Paul and first-ring suburbs, Greenman said. “We cannot be all things to all people,” she noted, but calls for assistance are never turned away. “We will help them get to the service they do need,” she said. The organization is funded through government contracts, United Way, private foundation and corporate grants and individual donations, according to

Greenman. Family Partnership charges for some services, such as counseling, but those often qualify for medical assistance dollars, she noted. Its annual budget is $8.5 million, Greenman said. Family Partnership’s Bloomington office opened in 1974, at the request of United Way and Hennepin County. The Brooklyn Park office followed a few years later. “There weren’t a lot of services out there for families and kids,” she said. “We responded to a need.” The Alliance for Children and Families includes about 350 organizations nationwide. Family Partnership’s award is its first. The award recognizes excellence in board governance, leadership, advocacy and programming innovation, according to Greenman. “It’s a seal of approval, in a way, from our national organization,” she said. “This exceptional organization has proven its commitment to living its mission each day,” said Polina Makievsky, COO of Alliance for Children and Families. Information about Family Partnership services and locations is available online at thefamilypartnership.org.

PetPAC, previously worked in medical equipment sales. He opened Lucky Dog Pet Lodge, 1067 American Blvd. E., in Bloomington in August. “I got tired of the day to day routine,” said the Eden Prairie resident and owner of 2-year-old Hogan, a yellow lab. “I wanted to do something that I was more passionate about.” He spent nearly two years researching and scouting locations before landing on the 30,000-square-foot facility, which includes and 18,000-square-foot outdoor play yard. Despite the slow economy, he said he was not concerned about opening Lucky Dog. It is the first dog daycare and overnight boarding facility in Bloomington, and is near the airport and Mall of America – and in an industry he called “pretty recession proof.” “People fall in love with their dogs and they do whatever they can to make them happy,” Morehouse said. He said it’s not that people didn’t always love their dogs, but now there are more options to take care of and pamper them. Morehouse heard about PetPAC from another member Ali Jarvis, founder of SidewalkDog.com, an online hub for information about dog-friendly life in the Twin Cities. SidewalkDog.com hosts “Sushi with Your Poochie” events in the summer and invites other PetPAC members and companies to connect with dog owners. Morehouse was planning his first annual Howl-oween Party and Dog Adoption Fair Oct. 30 that would also bring in other vendors. “The pet business is a huge industry, but it’s a fairly tight knit industry too,” he said. Tengdin said PetPAC, which meets once a month, aims to become the go-to resource for the pet industry in the Twin Cities. This fall, it is hosting two-part seminar “Growing Your Pet Business” for members and non-members. About 30 attended the first session Oct. 17 with presentations on marketing and promotion from Carolyn Greene of Edinabased Marketing Plus International and Linda Anderson, co-founder of Angel Animals Network, a PetPAC member. The second session Monday evening, Nov. 7, at The Depot Coffeehouse in Hopkins, will feature PetPAC member Patrick Nau of Minneapolis-based Patrick Nau Photography on strategic partnerships. Nau partners with pet supply store chain Chuck & Don’s. Gene Wood, state director of Business Networking International and owner of Life’s Pure Balance, which sells cleaning products safe for pets, will also speak.

related issues. The seminar was part of series and was titled “It’s Not the Money, It’s Your Life” and was the last of eight stops that included the four metro area cities of Golden Valley, Edina, Chaska, and Lakeville. According to Helmer, the more compelling part of the workshops were the question and answer sessions that followed a PowerPoint presentation touching on what Helmer and Chromy Webb identify as five roadblocks to financial success. “It is an in-person version of the ‘Your Money’ radio show,” Helmer said. “We probably spend more time doing the question and answer [session] than I do the PowerPoint.” According to Helmer the five roadblocks were taxes, inflation, lost opportunity cost, a conflict between financial decisions and core values, and the lack of a plan. And since Helmer and Chromy Webb began their “tour” in and around the metropolitan area, the feedback has been very positive, according to Helmer. “The feedback we’ve been getting … from the attendees has been really, really strong,” he said. He added that the series began Oct. 4 and ended Oct. 27. Miranda Wren, senior media relations specialist for WEG, estimated that nearly 50 individuals attended the seminar in Lakeville, and two Lakeville residents provided their thoughts about the workshop. One residents said, “Great job giving a presentation that makes you think about getting one’s house in order,” while another said, “We enjoy listening to the radio show on Sundays, and this had a similar feel, in the sense that they don’t talk over your head.”

Wren added there are many rules and regulations about privacy in the industry, and an internal policy does not allow any personal information to be shared. Chromy Webb works out of WEG’s Burnsville office, 350 Burnsville Parkway, Ste. 600, and she said much of the purpose of the workshops is to educate. “We our out educating the public about what those five roadblocks are,” she said. “We felt if we could educate about these roadblocks, more people may not delay in retiring.” Chromy added, however, that there is a little more to the workshops. “Part of these workshops, too, are understanding the roadblocks but then getting the confidence to retire or getting the confidence to enrich your life while you still have your health,” she said. The fact that Lakeville was a selected site for a workshop was not a coincidence, according to Chromy Webb. “We go by where we feel the need is,” she said. “Some of our offices are busier than others, meaning they’re already getting a lot of new clients that want to become educated. We have certain areas that we find that we need to go down there and have a workshop to get a little bit more draw of those people.” Chromy Webb and Helmer both acknowledged that the workshop series was designed to educate all individuals attending the informational sessions, but they said it was also an attempt to drum up legitimate business from individuals in need of WEG’s services. “We’re not just doing this for the education,” she said. “We’re building a practice.” The Burnsville office opened in 1999, and Chromy Webb was one of the original advisers. Since, the office has added, because of growth, two additional advisers due to an increase in the volume of clients who want help in the south metro.

Blaze girls soccer team roars into state final

North’s unbeaten run ends in state semifinals

Burnsville takes on Wayzata for Class AA championship

Wayzata prevails in shootout after 100 scoreless minutes

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS It was late August and Burnsville had just lost its girls soccer season opener at Centennial. While it was far too early to panic, coach John Soderholm was convinced he knew where the blame rested. On him. “I was trying to force the girls to play the style I wanted them to play,” he said. Soderholm wanted to try to play with three forwards, but it became clear that “the girls were more comfortable with a 4-4-2,” he said. “We made the change pretty quickly.” The rest, as they say, is history, and the Blaze is on the verge of something historic. Burnsville and Centennial had a rematch in the state Class AA semifinals Oct. 31, and the Blaze shredded the Cougars’ defense in a 5-2 victory at the Metrodome. Sophomore forward Alyssa Blahnik was involved in all five Burnsville goals, scoring three and assisting on the other two. Burnsville (17-4) advances to the state championship game against Wayzata (172-2) at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, also at the Metrodome. The Blaze has not been in a state final since 1993, when it won the second of back-to-back championships. In addition to the coaches being flexible enough to use tactics that meshed with the players’ strengths, “our defense has stepped up,” said Blahnik, who has 33 goals this season. “They’re playing really well. Their average shots-against is under five.” Blahnik said the Blaze midfeld and forwards also have jelled, and that was evident in the 31st minute on a give-andgo play between Blahnik and Tiana Khamvongsa.

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy – Sun Newspapers) With Burnsville already ahead 2-1, Khamvongsa passed to Blahnik, who immediately drew attention from two Centennial defenders. Blahnik sent the ball back to Khamvongsa, who one-timed it into the goal. Blahnik scored Burnsville’s first two goals with assists by Abby Soderholm. Blahnik completed her hat trick at 37:05 of the first half, and Abby Soderholm scored 30 seconds into the second half. Abby Soderholm also scored the lone goal of Burnsville’s 1-0 victory over Woodbury in the Class AA quarterfinals Oct. 28 in Cottage Grove. Her 30-yard free kick barely eluded the Woodbury goalkeeper and sent Burnsville to the Metrodome. Centennial defeated Eastview 1-0 in a shootout in the state quarterfinals Oct. 28 despite playing without leading scorer Jenna Roering, who was with the U.S. Under-18 team in California. Roering was back for the Burnsville game and had a goal and assist, but the

Cougars couldn’t keep up with the Blaze’s attack. Burnsville outshot Centennial (17-2-2) 21-8. “When we kept the ball on the ground, we did wonderfully,” John Soderholm said. “When we played the ball in the air, we struggled.” In the state final, Burnsville plays a Wayzata program that is used to being on the big stage. The Trojans, who have won state five times, will be in the championship game for the third year in a row. They have missed the state playoffs only three times since 1990. Burnsville, meanwhile, is in the state tournament for the first time in 15 years. “When I first started, they were the team to beat, the benchmark,” said Wayzata coach Tony Peszneker, referring to Burnsville. “Now they’re back, but they didn’t get the respect in the seedings. They finished ahead of Eastview in their conference but were seeded behind Eastview. They don’t seem to be getting a lot of credit.”

Coaches in general don’t like penaltykick shootouts to break ties in playoff soccer. But they understand that shootouts are part of the sport. The trick is to keep a game from getting to that stage, and that’s what caused Lakeville North’s girls problems in the Class AA girls soccer semifinals. After No. 1-ranked Lakeville North battled Wayzata through 100 scoreless minutes Oct. 31 at the Metrodome, they went to the shootout. Wayzata converted all five of its kicks. One of the Panthers’ shots was blocked, and that’s all it took to end their state championship dreams, not to mention their 20-game unbeaten streak. Lakeville North (18-1-2) played Centennial, which lost 5-2 to Burnsville in the other semifinal, in the third-place game Nov. 1. The third-place game was played after this edition went to press. Wayzata (17-2-2) will play Burnsville (17-4) in the state championship game at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Metrodome. The Trojans, who advanced to the state final for the third consecutive year, outshot Lakeville North 10-6 and held Simone Kolander, the Panthers’ scoring leader, to two shots. “I don’t think we played to our ability,” Lakeville North co-head coach Josh Linde said. “Kudos to Wayzata for making it a physical, direct game.” Both teams had chances to score before the shootout. In the first half, a free kick by North’s Breanna Sollie deflected off Wayzata goalkeeper Delane Swanson’s SOCCER: TO NEXT PAGE

Panthers follow familiar script Third-quarter rally sends Lakeville North to section title game BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS It was if Lakeville North was trying to prove the first time was no accident. The Panthers completed a two-game season sweep of Lakeville South, and elements of both games were strangely similar. Each time, North took control of the game in the third quarter. The first game was big – a regular-season South Suburban Conference football victory in early October – but the second was bigger as the Panthers defeated the Cougars 24-14 in the Class 5A, Section 1 semifinals Oct. 29. “I was crying a little bit after the game,” said North senior linebacker Austin Streit. “Tears of joy. I don’t know if I can describe it.” It’s the first time since the NorthSouth rivalry started in 2005 that one has beaten the other twice in one season. They have met in the playoffs the last four seasons, with each winning twice. More importantly for the Panthers (90), they’re still playing. They face Owatonna (8-1) in the section championship game at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at Lakeville North. North is trying to qualify for the state playoffs for the third time in five years. Lakeville South rode an outstanding performance by quarterback Mitchell Leidner – who completed all 11 of his passes in the first half – to a 14-6 halftime lead. North knew it needed to do something definitive to open the second half, and drove 68 yards in nine plays for a touchdown. Charlie Hayes, the Panthers’ leading receiver, turned a simple out route into a 37-yard catch-andrun for a score. “All we wanted was the first down,” quarterback Trey Heid said of the thirdand-three play. “All of a sudden, Charlie’s off to the races. It’s pretty nice to have a receiver like that. And the catch he made on the two-point conversion was even better.” That conversion tied the game 14-14. North took the lead on its next possession, which ended with Kevin Eskuri’s 12-yard touchdown run. Moments earlier, Heid’s 50-yard run moved the ball from the North 25 to the South 25. In the first half, Lakeville South’s two touchdowns (a 39-yard pass from

Leidner to Trent Bertamus and Leidner’s 4-yard run) trumped Lakeville North’s two field goals (Heid connected from 30 and 38 yards). Streit and Lakeville North coach Brian Vossen said the Panthers might have spent too much time worrying about South’s top available receivers, Bertamus and Devon Bzoskie. Matt Heller, Lakeville South’s leader in catches and receiving yardage, missed the game after suffering a concussion in the Cougars’ 35-7 victory over Rochester Mayo in a first-round Section 1 game. Several other South receivers – including sophomore Tyler Lattery, who led his team with four catches – benefited from having room to roam in the North secondary. “Maybe we were overlooking them, I don’t know,” Streit said. “In the second half, we played them the same way we’d play anyone else.” “At times, we had two or three guys covering one of their receivers,” Vossen said. “That’s my fault. You can’t win doing that.” The Panthers’ pass defense is predicated on getting pressure on the quarterback, and in the second half the blitz started to find its mark. North sacked Leidner three times in the second half, with the third causing a fumble that Charlie Peters recovered to snuff out the Cougars’ hopes of coming back. “We had guys open, but we couldn’t protect Mitch long enough,” Lakeville South coach Larry Thompson said. Trailing 21-14 early in the fourth quarter, South thought it was about to tie the game when Bzoskie leaped over a North defensive back to catch the ball in the end zone. The celebration was shortlived because the officials flagged Bzoskie for offensive pass interference. South’s coaches disputed the call, to no avail. “It should have been 21-21,” Thompson said. “That would have changed things. Instead, it’s a 15-yard penalty and loss of down.” The drive stalled when Leidner was sacked on fourth and 16. Lakeville North took possession and moved 57 yards before Heid closed the scoring with a 28yard field goal. Heid passed for 122 yards and rushed for 105, kicked three field goals and an extra point, and threw for one touchdown and a two-point conversion. His counterpart, Leidner, completed 15 of 21 passes for 205 yards, threw for one touchdown and ran for one. In an indication of the game’s high stakes, the 6-foot-5, 225-pound University of Minnesota recruit also saw playing time

at defensive end. Owatonna’s only loss was to the Rochester Mayo team that Lakeville South defeated handily in the section quarterfinals. But one thing the Panthers can do without in the section final is overconfidence. “I’m sure they don’t like us very much,” Vossen said of Owatonna. “We’ve knocked them out of the playoffs a few times.” The Lakeville South coach was more blunt about North’s chances in the section title game. “They’re a lot better than Owatonna,” Thompson said.

Eastview 14, Burnsville 7 Eastview held Burnsville to 62 yards of total offense in their Class 5A, Section 3 semifinal, but it wasn’t until late in the fourth quarter before the Lightning finally grabbed the lead. Trailing 7-6, the Lightning got in position to score with a 40-yard pass from Ryan Reger to Eric Krupke. Moments later, Krupke gave Eastview the lead on a 3-yard run. Reger also threw to Kenyon Phillips for a two-point conversion. Burnsville beat Eastview 36-29 in a regular-season game Oct. 7, but Blaze quarterback Dan Motl was injured in that game and missed the rest of the season. The Burnsville offense wasn’t the same without him. Still, Burnsville proved to be a tough opponent under first-year head coach Tyler Krebs, formerly an Eastview assistant coach. “With Tyler over there, he knows the strengths and weaknesses of our players, and he has a good idea of what we’re going to do,” Eastview coach Kelly Sherwin said. Burnsville scored on its first possession, with Jamond Bailey completing the drive on a 4-yard run. The Blaze finished 2-7 in its first season under Krebs. Eastview took a 4-5 record into its section semifinal game against Rosemount (5-3).

Kennedy 28, Apple Valley 0 Apple Valley closed a 1-8 season with back-to-back losses to Bloomington Kennedy. The second of the two losses came in the Class 5A, Section 3 quarterfinals Oct. 25. Kennedy also defeated Apple Valley 30-14 in the final week of the regular season. Apple Valley’s victory came in Week 7 when the Eagles trounced Bloomington Jefferson 27-6.

Soccer FROM PREVIOUS PAGE hands and hit the crossbar. On one of the few occasions Kolander had time and space, her 18-yard shot with 12:50 remaining just missed high. Each team got the ball to the other’s goal line but couldn’t quite nudge it across. The Panthers forced Swanson to make a diving save on the goal line with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime. “I thought we controlled most of the game,” Wayzata coach Tony Peszneker said. “I thought we were the better side. You still need a break here and there because it could have ended at any time.” Lakeville North struck quickly and with precision in its 3-0 victory over Anoka in the Class AA quarterfinals Oct. 26 at Hopkins High School. The Panthers scored all three of their goals in a 7minute, 11-second span in the first half. Kolander assisted on goals by Alexa Trakalo and Emily Clarkin, then scored

‘I told all of our players it’s not the end of the story for them. Almost all of them will play some more, and some of them will play many times more after this. ’ the Panthers’ third goal. Kolander had more than 50 points this year, and her assist total rose as opponents paid more attention to her. “Josh [Linde] and I have talked to her a lot about that,” co-head coach Bulut Ozturk said following the Anoka game. “She’s being marked by two people at a time, but that means there will be scoring opportunities for other girls.” The Panthers were trying to become the third team from Lakeville to reach a state championship game and the first since Lakeville South won the 2007 Class AA championship. With that hope dashed, Lakeville North had less than 24 hours to prepare for a state third-place game. “I told all of our players it’s not the end of the story for them,” Linde said. “Almost all of them will play some more, and some of them will play many times more after this.”

LV South girls take unbeaten record to state cross country Peaking the week of the section cross country meet is easier said than done, but three local teams found the right formula and qualified for the state meet this weekend. Lakeville South and Lakeville North were the top two girls teams at the Section 1AA meet Oct. 27 in Owatonna. Burnsville’s boys also advanced by finishing second in the Section 3AA meet Oct. 26 at the University of Minnesota Golf Course. The state Class AA meet will be Saturday, Nov. 5, at St. Olaf College. The girls race will be 10 a.m., with the boys race starting at 11.

Section 1AA Lakeville South’s girls are undefeated heading into the state meet after repeating as Section 1AA champions. The Cougars won by 63 points over Lakeville North, which was 69 points ahead of the thirdplace finisher, Dover-Eyota. South ninth-grader Kaytlyn Larson led the 4-kilometer race throughout and finished in a school-record time of 14 minutes, 5.8 seconds. Annie Brekken, also a ninth-grader, was third in 14:31.2. Senior Megan Kilbride (14:56.6) and sophomores Erin Kilbride (15:03.0) and Megan Lubow (15:04.0) were 10th through 12th. Sophomore Jenny Machaj was 14th and ninth-grader Caraline Slattery came in 23rd. Slattery was Lakeville South’s seventh finisher but came in ahead of the No. 1 runners from seven other schools. Top-10 individual finishers Taylor Perkins (second, 14:23.1) and Emma Johnson (seventh, 14:46.9) led Lakeville North to second place. Ninth-grader Elle Severson (26th, 15:39.4), eighth-grader Chloee Sagmoe (28th, 15:40.0), junior Haley Eskierka (37th, 15:46.9), sophomore Riley Broughten (40th, 15:49.3) and senior Hannah Evers (47th, 15:54.4) also ran for the Panthers. Owatonna and Rochester Mayo finished first and second in the Section 1AA boys meet and advanced to the state team competition. Lakeville North and Lakeville South finished third and fourth. Lakeville North senior Ben Saxton qualified individually for the state meet by finishing second in the section 5K race in 15:57.3. Senior Jason Dawson also was in the top 20, taking 15th in 16:37.5. Senior Jake Schneeman led Lakeville South, finishing 17th in 16:38.3. Cash Rodamaker, a junior, was 21st.

Burnsville senior Abdullahi Salan (right) tries to catch Bloomington Jefferson’s Jan Ketterson just before the finish of the boys race at the Section 3AA cross country meet. Salan finished second, one second behind Ketterson. Burnsville finished second in the team competition and will run in the state meet Saturday, Nov. 5, at St. Olaf College in Northfield. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy – Sun Newspapers) with a display of pack running that saw its top five runners place seventh, 11th, 12th, 13th and 15th. The race for second place contained plenty of intrigue. Burnsville, which went into the section meet ranked 10th in Class AA, had four runners place in the top 10. That was enough to finish two points ahead of Eastview, which had five runners in the top 15. Blaze senior Abdullahi Salan finished second individually in 15:50, one second behind Bloomington Jefferson’s Jan Ketterson. Burnsville’s Cole O’Brien, last year’s state runner-up, was fifth in the section meet in 15:56. Ninth-grader Faysol Mamoud (sixth, 15:58) and sophomore Ali Ahmed (10th, 16:09) also placed in the top 10 for Burnsville. Shawn Wong placed 43rd, Jake Stevens was 65th and Sam Houching was 66th. Burnsville finished seventh in the Section 3AA girls meet, where Eagan and Prior Lake took the top two spots. Blaze sophomore Vivian Hett qualified individually for state by placing second in 14:40, which was 14 seconds behind section champion Danielle Anderson of Eagan. Apple Valley finished fourth in the girls team competition and fifth in the boys meet. Senior Alexa Nelson led the Eagle girls with a 21st-place finish. Junior Nick Hughes was 22nd in the boys race. – Compiled by Mike Shaughnessy

Grove Coin ... Ranked the Twin Cities Top Coin & Precious Metals Buyer by the Minneapolis Tribune

O L D C O I N S & PA P E R M O N E Y T O O ! EIGHT Things You MUST Know

..... before YOU sell !

1. All dealers do not pay the same price. Whether you are selling the Family Treasures or just some old, broken jewelry, it pays to CHECK and COMPARE. Just call and ask for our gram, pennyweight or ounce prices. 2. Grove Coin is rated the Twin Cities Top Coin & Gold Buyer by the Minneapolis Tribune’s independent survey ..... (Grove Coin payed 8% more than Wixon’s and 32% more than the Gold Guys at the Mall of America). 3. It is RISKY to sell in a Motel ... to someone who will not be here next week ! More often than not, “motel buyers” pay very low prices for gold & silver. 4. Knowledge is the key to accurate, competitive pricing. Grove Coin is a “Full-Service” dealer, well versed in all facets of precious metals, numismatic coins and paper money. 5. We guarantee your visit to Grove Coin will be a pleasant one. Our staff are all experienced numismatists and will assist you promptly with courtesy and respect ..... and your transaction will be strictly confidential.

Call for ...

As you are probably well aware, the metals markets have been quite volatile lately. Accordingly, we must adjust our buying rates frequently in order to remain competitive. We invite comparison shopping and will gladly provide phone quotes on all items which are bought and sold by weight.

6. Always sell to a dealer who can provide good Bank and Professional References. We are State Licenced and Insured.

A Tidbit of History

7. You can get more help on how to best sell your gold or coins by visiting our web site at ..... www.GROVECOIN.com

In about 1074 A.D., eight years after defeating Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, King William I of England (William the Conqueror) issued a silver penny, about the size of a dime, bearing his portrait with a star on either side. In due time, English pennies became known as “stoerlings” from which the modern English currency of Sterling and the tem for fine silver is derived. Some have suggested that the use of stars on the coinage of this period might have represented celestial activity such as the appearance of Haley’s Comet in March of 1066 A.D., the year of the Conquest.

8. At least one very “high-profile” local gold buyer has been know to play games with weights. A high quote means nothing if you don’t get full credit for EVERY gram or pennyweight of gold or silver.
