BY MICHAEL RICCI SUN NEWSPAPERS Very few Americans get a chance to represent their country in the

Olympics, but one Lakeville native is shooting for 2016, and possibly 2012 on the way.

Kelsey Zauhar of Lakeville has been in training for several years in Texas and more recently Colorado to fulfill her dream of standing on top of the podium and hearing the National Anthem.

The Burnhaven Library recently started a new chapter.

The library is back in business after an eightmonth renovation that began last September. As the first major overhaul in 15 years, the renovations cost approximately $1.9 million for the metro’s third-largest library.

As patrons visited the newly opened library on Monday, May 9, they saw a spacious new layout, more computers, a techn o l o g i c a l l y - a dv a n c e d checkout service and a brand new meeting room.

“I think it’s really great,” Burnsville resident Pat Johnson said about the renovations. “It seems to be more spacious and newer of course, and I like all the new carpeting and lighting and just the way it’s arranged. This is my first time here since it’s reopened so I’m just getting used to it.”

Johnson said that she has been going to the Galaxie Library while Burnhaven was closed,

but will now come to the Burnsville library because of convenience and selection.

“It has everything I need – movies, magazines, and fiction usually are what I get,” she said while browsing through the fiction section. “I’m a quilter and I like to check over the quilting books to see if there’s anything new.”

“We were all really pleased when it was finished and saw how nice it turned out,” said Senior Cluster Manager Nancy Wisser. “We’ve gotten almost overwhelmingly positive comments from the public this week so far about how much they like it. I think it will help increase readership. It’s a more convenient layout and the items in the library are easier to find.”

The library also has a new teen section and increased media section.

Savage resident Karen Johnson said the wide variety at Burnhaven is what draws her to this location.

“I usually go to the library once a week, and I feel like they have a better LIBRARY: TO PAGE 25

Nonprofit legal group continues service to low-income clients

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS For decades, a local legal group has defended the rights of others, but now it is fighting a battle of its own.

Legal Assistance of Dakota County, 14800 Galaxie Ave. Suite 103, in Apple Valley, is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free legal services to low-income residents in Dakota County, but the group of three staff attorneys and about 100 volunteers is struggling to meet all of the needs of its target clientele.

LADC primarily directs its efforts to cases involving family law, areas such as divorce, child custody, grandparent custody, rights and responsibilities of unmarried parents and protective orders for low-income county residents.

Katie Trotzky, LADC executive director, explained why the legal group focuses mainly on these cases.

“It matches what the poverty population needs,” she said. “Most of the poor people in any area, but in Dakota County as well, are women and children.”

Trotzkey approximated the number

of those in the county who fall into this category and who could benefit from LADC’s services.

“Dakota County has the fourth highest poverty population in the state,” she said. “The percentage is small, but the number is big. There are about 58,000 people in Dakota County who have incomes less than 200 percent of the poverty guidelines.”

Incomes are relevant to LADC, as the group limits cases where the individual requesting it qualifies in two main areas: financial status and place of residence. Likely clients must have household incomes below 125 percent of poverty guidelines, and the potential clients must reside in Dakota County or have a case rooted in the county.

Among the many cases LADC takes are those involving domestic abuse, which often requires an order of protection. Due to the sheer volume of potential cases, meeting all of these needs is a battle in itself.

“There are probably about 10,000 domestic abuse cases that that size population would have,” Trotzky said, referring to Dakota County. “We can handle

probably about 25 to 30 percent of the demand for the kind of case that is being requested.”

Lori Bronk of Apple Valley is a client who qualified and received assistance from LADC. The group assisted Bronk in obtaining an order of protection against a man with whom she shares a child.

“This is a weird circumstance where he was using someone else’s cell phone numbers, so they helped me work with the Apple Valley Police Department to subpoena the other person’s phone records,” she said.

Bronk was prompted to contact the group after the father of her child violated two orders of protection, stemming from threatening behavior exhibited during visitations. Her case has been settled, at least for the time being, and she expressed a great deal of relief for feeling safe, as well as gratitude to LADC for making it possible. She said the LADC did more than she expected by helping her in other ways.

“To me, they went above and beyond.

You don’t always get that when you’re a single parent, low-income,” Bronk said.

“It wasn’t just the legal part. They stood by you.”

Though the legal group was able to successfully help Bronk, Trotzky still has concerns about the future of LADC and how it will continue to serve Dakota County residents in need.

“This is particularly appropriate as far as what is happening in the funding for legal aid,” Trotzky said. “We get money from the state, and we get money from the county, and we get money from the bar associations, as well as some individuals, primarily lawyers.”

The executive director said the state’s current financial position is an issue for LADC’s staff members to keep an eye on.

“We’re in the second year of the last biennium, and they are working on the budget for next year,” she said. “We are looking at a significant cuts.”

The LADC accepts donations in addition to its involvement in fundraisers.

An upcoming 5K fundraiser will be held Saturday, May 21, Ritter Farm Park, 19300 Ritter Trail, Lakeville. For more information about the race, visit http://bit.ly/mbC6Xy.

Burnsville Community Center to host workshop for Somali population

BY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS Somali native and Minnesota resident Hassan Samantar is using his role as a multicultural parent advocate at the PACER Center to help increase communication between the Somali community and public schools. Because Minnesota is one of the fastest-growing states in terms of diversity, Samantar said the need for New Americans is different than the needs of the mainstream. “It’s very difficult for the New Americans to come to a state where a lot of the services provided here in our country are not available back home in Somalia,â€? Samantar added. “There’s a barrier in the community, and the biggest need is communication.â€?

Founded in 1977, the Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights (known as PACER) helps expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life of children and youth with disabilities. The organization is primarily staffed by parents of children with disabilities and works in cooperation with 18 disability organizations. PACER assists individual families, hosts workshops, distributes materials, and develops leadership. “Parents bring their children in, and we can help them with learning and functioning better,� said Manager of Parent Training Virginia Richardson. “We work with all disabilities in children from birth until they are young adults. We help the parent understand the child’s disability, and we help them communicate effectively with professionals.�

PACER is offering an upcoming free workshop for Somali parents of children with disabilities. The workshop, called “Special Education: What Do I Need to Know,� will be hosted 6-8 p.m., Friday, May 20, at the Burnsville Community Center. The program is funded in part by the Minnesota Department of Education. “New Americans have a number of different issues that I work with,�

Samantar said. “I help them with their kids’ education rights, I do home visits, I work with [Individual Education Plans] and so forth. As the only multicultural

person, I have a lot of different projects and wear different hats.�

Topics discussed in the workshop will be the importance of parental involvement, how parents can work effectively with the school, information about evaluation processes, working with an Individualized Education Plan, and effective partnering of special education and general education. The workshops for Somali parents of children with disabilities are hosted as often as needed. “Some projects require two or three workshops, and some projects might only require one a year,� Samantar said. “The community might have a need for a particular issue that they struggle with, and of course those are in addition to what the projects require.�

Richardson said they key to reaching these parents is to go to the community rather than making the community come to them. “We plan workshops that we set up in communities, but we also do a lot of responding to communities if they want us to come do a workshop there,�

Richardson said. “The difference in serving New Americans is that we have to get in their circle instead of building it and think they have to come here.� “In my experience, 95 percent of the time when I get involved, the relationship between the school and home gets better,� Samantar said.

In addition to hosting workshops across the state, PACER also has a tollfree number people can call where representatives assist them in resolving issues regarding education. Although the focus is on parents, they will also assist teachers, principals and superintendents. “I think there’s an enormous need for information because information is power,� Richardson said. “PACER helps bridge the gap between the parents and the school, and I think both of them benefit. When you don’t speak the language, people don’t get the services that other people do when they speak the language.

I think PACER feels a responsibility to provide social work services to people who need it very much.�

LV Senior Center lead recognized with award

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS If you are wondering what’s involved in running a senior center, look no further than “the brightest star in Lakeville.”

Linda Walter, coordinator of the Lakeville Senior Center, 20732 Holt Avenue, in Lakeville, was recently awarded the 2011 Outstanding Senior Service award during the Minnesota Association of Senior Services’ annual conference. The award is designed to recognize the hard work and efforts of each year’s recipient at his or her respective senior center.

Jacque Mihm, marketing director at Highview Hills senior living community in Lakeville, was among those who nominated Walter for the award, and feels that she could not be more deserving of it.

“She is the brightest star in Lakeville,” Mihm said. “She is so wonderful and has contributed so much to the Lakeville residents.”

Mihm said her reasons for nominating Walter included the latter’s work ethic and ability to coordinate programs for the present and the future. For those who belong to the center, Walter has implemented such programs as a motorcycle group, a bicycle group, Spanish

speaking classes, and even tai chi, originating with the Chinese as a means of meditative movements for exercising.

“I think she is very unique. I don’t think many senior centers go out of the box,” Mihm said. “I just watch her enthusiasm. It’s very contagious.”

The individuals involved in the selection process factor in many aspects of the each coordinator’s roles, such as the number of successful programs at their respective centers, fundraisers to benefit their centers, and outreach and the amount of volunteerism within their communities.

Walter, who has been nominated for the award on numerous occasions, maintained the distinction could have been awarded to a host of others.

“I was actually surprised because there are so many other good coordinators,” Walter said, referring to her being nominated. “I love my job, and I enjoy working with mature adults.”

Walter’s love for her job and working with seniors began at a young age. She was not only very close with her grandmother, who Walter called her mentor, but also worked with seniors throughout her high school years.

“I just really enjoy doing it, and I have a lot of compassion for seniors,” she said.

Thoughts on becoming the ultimate townie

BY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM SUN NEWSPAPERS Despite having a complete inability to tell you what I had for dinner three nights ago, I possess an uncanny knack for identifying family photos of nearly any era down to the month and year.

My mom will show me some random shot taken on a featureless stretch of beach, and I’ll say, “Oh yeah, that was Door County, summer of ‘93, because I am wearing that watch that I bought at Target that summer when we ran into Spencer Brewer during the shopping trip. Also, that’s a Looney Toons shirt you found for me at JC Penney on clearance that spring.”

As much as I would like to say that having a great memory for the trivial is a blessing, there are times when it is more a of parlor trick than anything

else. While it is great to baffle friends with recollections that inspire a startled “How do you remember all of this stuff ?” it is hard not to apply the same mental mapping to Dakota JOSEPH County.

PALMERSHEIM A f t e r spending 27 Dakota County out of my 31 Managing Editor years on this planet in Eagan and Apple Valley, I am a sort of living “On this day in history” marker plaque. I can point out the spot on 140th Street where I threw up a cheese dog in 1986 and lost my taste for that particular food item for the next 15 years. I can recall the old farmhouse that used to occupy the spot now filled by the Galaxie Library. I can point out what used to be where in the Burnsville Center, including the site of the former record store where I bought “Thriller” in 1984.

This institutional memory

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Do seniors not care?

To the editor: It has been said that most seniors do not care about the proposal to utilize the old Police Station on Holyoke Avenue as a new Senior Center and a home for the Historical Society because they have not voiced their opinions to City Hall. Now is your chance.

A meeting is planned for noon Monday, May 23, at the Lakeville Area Art Center for the purpose of updating everyone on the proposal. A study committee and City staff have been given until mid-June to

finalize plans and financing options and to determine if there is enough community support.

I want to urge all members and non-members alike to attend this meeting to become informed and to voice your opinions. You are the people who have been using and will use such a facility in the future.

suits me well as a professional, but as an individual, the memories serve more as reminders of how much everything has changed since I was a kid. As a product of the American suburbs, we didn’t get cathedrals and great works of art. We got shopping malls and brightly painted park swingsets, and that was perfectly fine with me.

But while Notre Dame has probably changed little since it was finished in 1345, the Burnsville Center has evolved in the way that a living, organic structure would. Even the Mall of America is starting to show its age a bit, which makes me feel a little bit older, as I still consider it as “the new mall,” and can remember very clearly the day it opened in August 1992, when Ryan Murray, my next-door neighbor, came home with a commemorative mall bear and wouldn’t stop talking about how cool it was.

Even the smallest of spots in this area hold some sort of memory. Part of me wonders

how life would have been if I had moved someplace else.

Would the changes be more obvious? Would it deflate me to see the natural developments that repopulate our landscape and lives with the new and different? Would I even care?

In the end, the old saying is true: you can never really go home again, even if you never really left it to begin with. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to run an errand to Burlington Coat Factory. Which used to be a Kmart, until it closed in 2002.

They had a great clearance sale, and I bought a digital 1.3megapixel digital camera. That Kmart also always had the best Slush Puppies in town when I was a kid, and that was back when that entire development was a multi-entranced mall that included a Carbones with “Pole Position,” my favorite Atari game.

See what I mean? What exactly am I supposed to do with all of this useless data?

Dakota County moves toward smoke-free living

BY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS Since the passing of the Freedom to Breathe Act in 2007, the right to smoke has become a smoldering topic of discussion and controversy in Minnesota.

In addition to not being permitted to smoke in public places such as restaurants, lobbies, and businesses, Dakota County smokers may now have a tougher time smoking in their apartments as a result of the Smoke-Free Living movement sweeping the cities.

Live Smoke Free, a nonprofit promoting smoke-free multi-housing units, is funded by Dakota County Public Health as a part of the Statewide Health Improvement Plan.

“We’ve been working primarily with building owners and managers to educate them on smoke-free policies and the benefits of going smoke-free in their buildings,” said Live Smoke Free Program Manager Matt Farmer. “We’re working to fill the gaps in the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.” The Freedom to Breathe Act, which made amendments to the 1975 Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, says that common areas of apartment build-

ings such as hallways, laundry rooms and community rooms must be smokefree. Whether or not smoking is permitted in individual units is up to the managers.

View Pointe Apartments in Eagan adopted a smoke-free living policy several years ago for half of their buildings.

“In the entire complex, you can’t smoke in the hallways, entryways or balconies, but half of our buildings are also smoke-free, meaning they can’t smoke in the units either,” Leasing Consultant Lindsey Szymanski said. “We’re finding that a lot of people are going in that direction and have allergies, don’t want that smell, or want a clean environment, so we want to offer that, but for people who want to smoke, we want to offer that as well.”

“Roughly 75 percent of people are looking for smoke-free housing,” Farmer said. “There’s certainly a demand for it, so we’re working on providing that for residents.”

Jade Lane Apartments in Eagan offers one building that is smoke-free and one that permits smoking.

smoke-free these days, so having that option is a choice we offer for residents,” said Property Manager Bill Cunniff.

But when it comes to seeking out smoke-free apartments, Cunniff said it’s not a top priority for many of their tenants.

“There’s a very small amount of people who actually ask about [smoke-free buildings,]” Cunniff said. “I know it’s important to some people, but I would say that with prospective residents coming in, one out of every 15 will ask if it’s smoke-free.”

Farmer said when a apartment managers interested in going smoke-free will often conduct a survey to find out how many tenants smoke, whether or not they smoke in their units, and if they would like a smoke-free policy.

Once they decide to make the transition to smoke-free housing, they update their lease with an amendment, and as residents renew their leases or as new tenants sign the form, they agree to not smoke in the building and it slowly transitions to become smoke-free.

The Dakota County Community Development Agency has also adopted a smoke-free policy. The agency has been

building affordable independent living senior housing since 1990 and has the largest locally funded senior housing program in the nation. Three years ago they decided that all new senior housing construction would be smoke-free. The agency has opened three smoke-free buildings already, and are in the process of opening three more.

According to Assistant Director of Administration Sara Swenson, communities with existing senior building options will continue to allow smoking, but all new construction will be smokefree moving forward.

The Live Smoke Free program started approximately five years ago with 50 buildings in Minnesota that were smoke-free. Now, there are more than 600 buildings that are smoke-free.

Dakota County had one smoke-free building before the program and now has 36 that have adopted the policies. howver, the future of the Smoke-Free Housing movement is unclear.

“Live Smoke Free will go on through different funding sources, but as far as [the Statewide Health Improvement Program] goes, we’re not sure what’s going to happen,” Farmer said.

Women with Low Thyroid Many people live their lives suffering from low thyroid symptoms. This is especially true for females. Thyroid hormones control all your metabolism, and when thyroid hormones are low they cause all the cells in your body and mind to slow down.

These symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, sweet cravings, depression, sluggish thinking, thinning hair or hair loss, and cold hands and feet. For some people digestive problems like constipation and acid indigestion may signal low thyroid.

Even when taking thyroid medication, many people continue to suffer from the symptoms of having low thyroid. Some people are even told their lab tests are normal but still continue to endure the symptoms of low thyroid. However, there can be a solution for symptoms from low thyroid!

Dr. Phil Gilman DC FMA FASBE, a published thyroid researcher and chiropractor, is holding a seminar to discuss low thyroid symptoms. His research shows that while blood tests are valuable in evaluating thyroid dysfunction, often the basic tests are inadequate in finding the underlying causes of low thyroid. For example Dr. Gilman’s published research showed that liver func-

tion affects low thyroid. This research also showed that low thyroid persons have a observable posture and testable muscle weakness.

There are six patterns of thyroid dysfunction and only one of them responds well to thyroid medication. That is why so many have been disappointed in their results.

During the seminar Dr. Gilman will reveal the number one cause of low thyroid in the United States, why many women taking replacement hormones won’t get better, six patterns to thyroid problems, and why doctor’s don’t run complete thyroid tests. He will also discuss the one food that is often involved in low thyroid and how to test for it. In addition to exposing these truths about thyroid treatment, Dr. Gilman will also discuss natural solutions to correct thyroid problems. Due to the high demand and sensitivity of this information, seating for Dr. Gilman’s private thyroid seminar is limited to 15 people. It will be held on Tuesday, May 24th at 6:00 PM at the LifeSpring Wellnesss Center, 1964 Rahncliff Ct. #600 in Eagan. Please call 651-6818199 to reserve a seat today!

DanceWorks performs ‘Alice in Wonderland’

BY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS When looking for inspiration for one art center’s spring finale, one local performing arts center decided to follow the White Rabbit.

DanceWorks Performing Arts Center will be adding a twist to its annual spring recital by performing “Alice in Wonderland” in collaboration with DanceWorks Repertory Ensemble Sunday, May 22, at Lakeville North High School. “Alice in Wonderland” is a 25minute segment within the annual spring show that reenacts a portion of the classic story through ballet and several other styles of dance.

According to DanceWorks Director Ann Proudfoot, the performance begins with Alice reading a book with her sister when an amazing adventure starts happening in front of their eyes.

“It’s awesome because we have a beautiful backdrop and lovely costumers,” Proudfoot said. “Sometimes a ballet can be very slow-moving, like the beginning of ‘The Nutcracker,’ but it’s very upbeat, lively, and there’s no down time.”

Lakeville South High School ninthgrader Jacquelyn Chatelaine has been at DanceWorks for 11 years and will be playing the role of Alice.

“There’s a kickline part and there’s jazz in it, and our White Rabbit is doing hip hop, so there’s a lot of other dance styles,” Jacquelyn said. “I’m mostly doing ballet, but for Tweedledee and Tweedledum, they do jazz-tap.”

Jacquelyn had performed in “The Nutcracker,” “Cinderella,” and last year’s version of “Alice in Wonderland,” all through DanceWorks.

“I like getting to dance with everybody,” she said. “I feel you can express more through dancing ballet than anything else. I think people will really enjoy it because they know the story through the two movies that are out and the book.”

Approximately 85 people will participate in the production, including Ballet One students, who are approximately 7 years old, up to adult performers. The DanceWorks Classical Ballet program is designed with five levels, and students progress through the levels based on technical skills. DanceWorks also offers adult classes, competition, danceline, jazz, tap, pre-school and a class for ballroom, Latin and swing dancing.

The entire spring production will be

S TA R T-T O - F I N I S H W I N D O W & D O O R R E P L AC E M E N T

an hour and 45-minutes in length.

Showtimes are 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6:30 p.m., and the ballet portion will not be featured in the 6:30 performance.

“A lot of times these dance studios get to two-and-a-half or three hours, and it becomes a marathon and isn’t fun anymore,” Proudfoot said. “That’s why we do four shows instead of two megashows. I think people appreciate that.

Plus, it gives the kids a performing opportunity.”

DanceWorks Performing Arts Center is the studio portion of the company and the DanceWorks Repertory Ensemble is the nonprofit arm of the studio.

Tickets can be purchased at danceworksmn.com or by calling 952-432-7123.

AV alum lands broadcast job as voice of baseball club

BY JEFF BARTHEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Dave Overlund, a 2000 graduate of Apple Valley High School, has been honing his broadcasting skills while studying the craft at St. Cloud State University.

His hard work appears to have paid off.

The junior mass communications major has been a reporter and broadcaster for the student newspaper and radio station at St. Cloud. His performance and dedication with the two jobs has led him to earning three Minnesota Associated Press awards and, most recently, a full-time summer position as the director of media relations and broadcasting for the Alexandria Beetles baseball club.

Overlund is currently in the process of constructing the team’s media guide.

After his preseason prep work is complete, he will travel with the team to Duluth, where the team’s season commences Friday, June 1. Thus begins a two-and-a-half month trek replete with bus trip after bus trip, living out of a suitcase and hours upon hours of entertaining a radio audience through 70 Beetles broadcasts.

He knows the task is a mighty one, but it’s one that Overlund is grateful to have, and he plans to make the most out of.

“My goals for the summer: first, I just hope to make it through the whole summer. Seventy games in 73 days, traveling with the team,” Overlund said. “Being 29 and knowing I’ll be traveling with lots of

19- to 21-year-olds, my goal is to stay sane; and to grow as a broadcaster and to gain an identity on the air.”

The new endeavor figures to be an exhaustive one, but he’s excited for the adventures and experiences it will bring him. Overlund is also particularly thankful for this job when he reflects on the jobs he worked throughout the first seven years of his post-high school life.

“Before Inver Grove [Community College, where, in 2007-08, he took his generals and earned a two-year degree], I worked as a server, worked jobs where I was stuck in a cubicle; jobs where I was making a living, but was pretty bored and not necessarily enjoying what I was doing,” he said. “I just wanted to do something with my life, where I get out of bed and I’m excited about what I get to do for work…There really aren’t many jobs like that out there.”

A lifetime of sports Overlund has enjoyed sports his whole life. Marty Overlund, Dave’s father, traced his son’s passion for sports to when he was learning the alphabet and playing Tee Ball.

From the developmental baseball game to years of playing the real thing, Marty witnessed his son’s passion for baseball grow exponentially. That passion soon spawned into other sports on a year-by-year basis throughout his childhood and to this very day.

“Dave’s been obsessed with sports his whole life,” Marty said. “He could tell you anything about Twins baseball, and their stats from any year. He’s like a

walking encyclopedia with anything about baseball. Ever since Tee Ball he’s been into baseball, but he knows a lot about other sports, [too].”

Dave’s grandmother lives in Apple Valley, mere blocks from where Dave grew up. Like Dave’s father, she also recalls his interest for sports stemming from a young age.

“He was into collecting cards and getting autographs,” said Marg Overlund, Dave’s grandma. “[With] just about any sport, you can ask him [a question] and he can come up with an answer for you.”

Dave enjoys the energy that a sports event can generate, and recalls attending hockey and football games, among others, during his high school years at Apple Valley.

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the games,” Dave said. “The unity of the crowds, the booing and the cheering together, the emotions involved with watching a game [in person].”

Broadcasting wasn’t at the forefront of his mind then, but he would later draw the connection of these feelings (of the atmosphere at sports events) to his current career pursuits.

At Apple Valley High School, he worked for the school paper and had thoughts of going into print journalism, but admitted his high school grades weren’t very good and college may not have been something he was ready for at the time. Thus followed the years he spent working a handful of restaurant server and temporary office jobs.

Eventually, he enrolled at Inver Grove Community College in 2007, and said he liked it there primarily because he enjoyed working for the Inver Grove student newspaper. However, that door would soon close as the newspaper was shut down. Despite being disappointed by this, Dave went on to complete his two-year liberal arts degree at Inver Grove.

Craving to extend his journalism pur-

suits, he continued his college education at St. Cloud, where he immediately stumbled upon good fortune.

“When I first went up, I went to some kind of student job fair,” Dave said.

“The [St. Cloud State] radio station approached me and said they need an assistant news director.”

College, life lessons Dave assumed the position with KVSC 88.1 FM immediately. He said held the assistant director job through his first year, and his responsibilities included doing a variety of news and sports reports and broadcasts on the side of his directing duties. He said he tried out working with an array of topics, but sports was what he particularly excelled in.

Dave became the head director of the radio station his following year – as a sophomore. Eadio broadcasting, the medium he found the most joy in and realized his found his skills to be best tailored for.

Overlund’s broadcasting experience blossomed into several rewarding experiences. One came at a Gophers versus Huskies hockey game at Minnesota’s Mariucci Arena, where at the press gate, as member of the media with St. Cloud, he signed in underneath the signature of Glen Sonmor, a Minnesota hockey legend who coached both the Gophers and North Stars, and has been a professional radio broadcaster for many years.

The moment sticks in Dave’s mind as a glimpse of where his broadcasting pursuits can take him.

“That was kind of a reality check,” Dave said. “You’re thinking [to yourself], ‘You’re just a student, bro, you’re low on the totem pole.’ You see the name of a legend [Sonmor], you haven’t made it anywhere yet, but it lets you know that you’re on the right track.”

BY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM • SUN NEWSPAPERS What to do with old St. Joe? Having secured a $120,000 Community Development Grant to pay for removal of hazardous materials and the demolition of the old St. Joseph’s Catholic School building at 143rd Street West and South Robert Trail, Rosemount is looking to the future. The demolition could pave the way for more senior housing and a new senior center in town.

The Rosemount City Council commissioned a senior housing study in March, and discussed the document, described as a “preliminary demand estimate for senior housing in Rosemount, Minnesota” during its Wednesday, May 11, work session.

According to Community Development Director Kim Lindquist, the 28-page document concluded that there was “some market” for senior housing in the city, both now and in project in 2015.

Much of the demand is for housing with services involved, and the study

indicated that the market area is “oversupplied” with active adult senior housing. Lindquist said that having senior housing with services like assisted living and memory care is important to keep those seniors living in Rosemount.

“We’re aware of residents or parents of residents that have had to move to Eagan and Lakeville for those services, and we’d like that available for our community,” Lindquist told the SunCurrent. “The big question is if this a good location, from market standpoint, for senior housing.”

Lindquist said that Rosemount was interested in bringing in a private developer to create not only senior housing, but also additional tax revenue on the site, which is currently city-owned.

While the former St. Joseph’s Church has been remade into the Steeple Center, repurposing the school would be a costly proposition. It was built in the early 1950s, asbestos was used in its construction and there are parts of it that are not up to current code.

“My understanding is that the school could use it because they were [grandfathered in], but once that changed, it needed to be brought up to code,” Lindquist said. “It’s a split-level build-

ing with no elevator, which is obviously a problem from a handicapped accessibility point. As a public building, we really need to address it.”

The original school, built in 1953, closed in 2009. The new 46,000 square foot education center, located next to the newer church building at 13900 Biscayne Ave., serves more than 200 students in grades K-8. It cost nearly $7 million to build. When interviewed in 2009 about leaving the old school building, Principal Thomas Joseph was not exactly nostalgic.

“It’s been a lot of band-aiding and duct taping to keep it going,” Joseph said. “We have leaking skylights; we lost a big chunk of our playground to the new library. We have a computer lab that houses half a class, and no air conditioning. It’s time to move. I don’t really have a lot of feelings of remorse about it. The new facility will allow us to do so much more.”

Rosemount acquired the 1924-built church and attached school in 2004. A 23member community task force convened in 2006 to determine how the site should be used, and returned in 2007 with several recommendations, including using the church as an arts and cul-

tural facility.

The $120,000 grant was one of six the CDA recently awarded to redevelopment projects in the area, including $250,000 given to assist relocation of tenants at Burnsville’s Valley Ridge Shopping Center, which is scheduled to be torn down and replaced with senior housing.

CDA representative Dan Rogness said that the grants allow 18 months for a project to be completed, with a potential one-year extension available.

Eagan Art House serves artists of various ages, interests

BY JEFF BARTHEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Located on the west side of Lexington Avenue, the Eagan Art House is a place for people with an array of art interests and skill levels.

The facility is operated and managed

by Eagan resident Julie Andersen, who sees art as not merely a hobby, but a way of life.

“It’s kind of like breathing,” Andersen said.

The 47-year-old said her interest in art originated from her childhood, when her mother brought her to a production of “Rapunzel.” The play lacked glitz and glamour, but that didn’t matter. What particularly struck her was the production’s simplicity and creativity, which induced her to conjure up her own thoughts and images.

“There was no set or costumes. The actors created Rapunzel’s hair by holding hands and spreading across the stage,” Andersen said. “I was fascinated by creating the details of the play in my imagination.”

She has since become a lover of all forms of arts. From music, to painting, to pottery; whatever inspires ingenuity or creativity. Most recently, however, Andersen has implemented her art adoration and knowledge at the Eagan Art House, which she has supervised since 2005.

Classes offered at the Eagan Art House include painting (watercolor, oil, acrylic and multimedia), jewelry and pottery. The facility also offers activities tailored toward scout groups, families and birthday parties. The Art House has programs to fit a variety of timeframes and seasons. It has classes that work around school schedules, like preschool art, after school classes and homeschool classes. It also offers co-op classes on or off site for elementary, middle, high school and homeschool students. The organization also hosts a variety of summer camps.

Typical age ranges for Eagan Art

House classes are 4-6, 7-12, teens and adults, and 55-plus to seniors. Andersen said the classes for children are great, but she spoke particularly of the interests for adults and seniors.

“For many people that come here it’s a life-changing experience,” she said.

“Especially for our seniors because they really need that connection. They come here for that social aspect. They’re at a place in their life where they like to be around other people their age, and [here] they’re doing art along the way.”

Some of the adults are first-timers, some come to Eagan Art House to recapture art interests from the past.

“Later in life sometimes you have time to do different things that you didn’t have the time for before,” Andersen said. “Maybe they took up art in high school or college, but hadn’t done it since.”

Andersen is the primary operator and day-to-day caretaker of Eagan Art House, but the organization would not be possible without the assistance of other nonprofit groups and the city of Eagan.

Eagan Art House is called a “house” because it was once was. Before being reconfigured into an art center, the quaint, one-story rambler that sits on the front lawn of Patrick Eagan Park was initially a family home.

In the 1980s, the house and its plot of park property were acquired by the city, according to Parks and Recreation Department Director Juli Seydell Johnson. Following the acquisition, Johnson said, the house and property were leased to Dakota Center for the Arts for $1 per year until 2007.

The city has always owned the property, operations were officially turned over from Dakota Center of the Arts to the city that year. This is not to be confused with the official opening – and the first classes – of the Eagan Art House in 1997.

Andersen said the Eagan Parks and Recreations Department, Dakota Center for the Arts and Eagan Art House, have been partners for many years. She said she is very thankful for Seydell Johnson and for her department’s involvement with the Eagan Art House.

“She was very instrumental in making that happen in 2007,” Anderson said, regarding Seydell Johnson and official ownership being accrued by her department in 2007.

Andersen also credited Dakota Center for the Arts, other nonprofit groups and the various grants the House has been able to receive.

Wanda Borman, a teacher at the Art House, is the director of both the Dakota Center for the Arts and the Eagan Arts Festival, shared her thanks for the city’s involvement with Eagan Art House, specifically with the organization’s programming and its location. She said the art center was included the city’s longterm plans for Patrick Eagan Park, which she feels is an ideal location for the art center.

“The Art House became an integral part of [Eagan’s plans for Patrick Eagan Park],” Borman said. “Which was great, because it’s wonderful to be located on a natural site, where the teachers can take classes outdoors for plain-air painting [and] younger kids can go out for a recess or to pick up nature to make a collage. There are a lot of big advantages beyond the partnership, just with the location [alone].”

As a city representative, Seydell Johnson also spoke of the Eagan Art House’s value to the community.

“The Eagan Art House is important to Eagan because it provides opportunities for everyone, no matter their age or ability, to experience creating art in many forms,” Seydell Johnson said. “[It] provides a friendly and low-stress environment for first-timers to try painting or drawing or making pottery. For the more experienced artist, the Eagan Art House provides a supportive community

A partnership

of artists in which to grow and expand the arts dialogue.”

Looking to the future The Eagan Art House was recently awarded a Creative Intersections Grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.

Andersen and Borman said they are using the grant to reach out to the community. The two have been contacting Eagan citizens to get their feedback on Eagan Art House, and their thoughts on art and its use throughout the city.

“I really think that there’s a grassroots groundswell of art support in our community,” Andersen said. “People want more, they want to see more, they want to do more.”

“It’s about bringing people in and saying, ‘if you could dream about what the arts would look like in Eagan, what would you see?’” said Borman.

They have been seeking feedback through whatever means possible.

Borman has been working with her Dakota Center for the Arts council. The two have also been working with chamber of commerce, talking to neighbors, hosting focus groups and having dialogs with local residents.

“I could sit here and run painting classes for the next 20 years, but I think because we are such a strong, community-minded organization, it’s really important for us to reach out to the community,” Andersen said. “See what Eagan wants for the arts...[set] a foundation for the arts to be the fiber of the community.”

Andersen encourages anybody who would like to contribute their thoughts and ideas to go to the Eagan Art House to visit the organization’s website (http://xr.com/kglw) and click the link at the end of the statement, “Complete our Monkey Survey questionnaire.”

People can also contact Andersen at 651-675-5521 for an informal interview or to be a part of a group discussion.

Like any typical mom, Julia Sawyer, of Eden Prairie, spent the first year of her son’s life enamored by him, delighting in each new milestone.

Then as he headed into his second year, she began to notice changes, setbacks. By 2.5 years of age, Sawyer’s son was diagnosed with autism.

“He was considered pretty severe,” she said. “He couldn’t talk, didn’t make any types of babbling and just did a lot of hand flapping.”

He also struggled with following directions. That’s when Sawyer met Tara Bertone. Sawyer said that was the beginning of the journey to where they are now today, with her son participating in the mainstream curriculum for seventh grade, participating in track and generally, a very smart 13-year-old.

THERAPIES Bertone began working with autistic children in 1996 as a behavior therapist.

She later earned her master’s degree in speech and language pathology.

“I noticed kids either get a behavioral program or parents take their kids to speech, but the therapies were separate,” said Bertone. Throughout her education and experience, Bertone witnessed firsthand the benefits of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy as well as verbal behavior therapy but was disappointed by the lack of collaboration with speech-language pathologists.

According to Bertone, although ABA professionals are proficient in teaching new skills, rarely did a speech-language pathologist play a significant role in the development of curriculum and program management, which are primarily language and communication-based.

Her passion for helping kids drove her to create Autism Matters, a center that strives to address the disconnect between these two disciplines.

“We did some research and found there were very few services in the area,” she said. “That was the catalyst to opening a center in Rogers.”

Services include speech-language assessments, speech-language therapy, oral-motor therapy using TalkTools, VB/ABA intensive intervention, occupa-

tional therapy, academic tutoring, self-help skills training and parent training and resources. Sawyer’s son received therapies from the Minnetonka location, where Sawyer found having multiple services under one roof beneficial. Many autistic children are recommended to participate in 20 to 40 hours of intensive therapy that can be demanding on parents and families if services are located far away and scat tered throughout the area.

Another benefit for Sawyer was having her son’s therapists all on the same page and not having to go through the emotional and mental rigors of playing messenger between them.

“If you’re taking your child to five differ ent places, it becomes your job to ensure therapist A knows what therapist B is doing,” Sawyer said. “Here, they all meet with you as a team.”

“The consistency piece is critical,” Sawyer said. “If everyone was throwing dif ferent stuff at him he wouldn’t have made the same level of progress. At Autism Matters, all the therapists use the same techniques and same philosophy.”

Many times in other therapy plans treat ment is set up so the focus is first on the behaviors. But Sawyer said she’s found Autism Matters to be unique in that Bertone approaches therapy from a mind set of improving the child’s communica tion and language skills first.

NO CHILD ALIKE Autism Spectrum Disorders present themselves in such different ways from child to child. Sawyer said no two children with it necessarily look alike. There is also conflicting information on what causes it and what can be done for children to make progress. Because of this, Sawyer said the emotional toll is especially great.

“With autism, you often already feel iso lated by the time you receive your child’s diagnosis. You have probably withdrawn from doing some of the typical things par ents do like play dates or outings because of issues with your child,” she said.

She works to get the message to other parents going through this same journey that there is hope.

“I was basically given no hope back then I was told my child would never talk, and now he does,” she said.

Your financial records: Making order out of chaos

A

re your file cabinets overflowing? Are you awash in a sea of old checks, bank statements and pay stubs? Get organized with a plan that purges the unnecessary and ensures you’ve saved what you need to keep the IRS happy should they come calling.

What to keep and what to toss While it’s tempting to hang onto every piece of paper in case you need it, there are documents you can go ahead and get rid of, say financial planning experts at Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants (MNCPA).

Reducing that burden will help you be more organized with the documents you do need to keep.

How long to keep it IRS Publication 552: Recordkeeping for Individuals is available on the IRS website and describes basic records you should keep to prove your income and expenses. You can use it along with the suggestions in this article to create your own “Record Retention Plan.” It can be a simple document – a checklist – of all the different kinds of paperwork you have and your decision about how long to keep each type.

Copies of tax returns. Keep these as part of your tax records. They can help you prepare future returns, and you will need them if you file an amended return. Keep copies of your tax returns for six years.

Year-end mutual fund and brokerage statements. Keep the year-end ver-

sions for at least three years after the due date of your tax return. If you are self-employed and, when you prepared your tax returns you owed the IRS money, you should keep all your records at least six years. That’s how long the IRS has to come back to conduct an audit. Some financial planning experts advise self-employed workers to keep all financial records for at least six years.

Cancelled checks, old receipts.

Keep these for three years after the date of your return, and then it’s safe to get rid of them. But if you’re self-employed, keep your receipts for at least six years.

Receipts for major home improvements. Hang on to receipts for major home improvements. These should be kept until the property is sold – they might be needed in order to show the

actual cost of the home in some tax situations. They may also come in handy if you want to show potential buyers how much you’ve spent to upgrade the property.

Bank records. Go through your checks each year. Set aside and retain those related to your taxes, business expenses, home improvements and mortgage payments according to your record retention plan. You should keep all bank records for at least a year.

Loan documents. When a loan is paid off you can get rid of the documents, but make sure you receive the official title or deed first.

Receipts for big ticket items.

Receipts for jewelry, rugs, appliances, Records continues next page

These should be kept forever, even if

The IRS has been accepting “paperless” records such as back statements and other records sent via email since 1997. If you are technically savvy and have a good plan for saving and backing up your personal data, this may be a good route for you. Use a scanner to make electronic copies of paper documents. Be aware, however, that electronic records must be carefully indexed, filed and managed. The IRS also recommends this as “an outstanding way to secure financial records” in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood or hurricane.

10 ways to prevent or reduce hearing loss H earing loss affects more than 34 million Americans. If detected early, it may be a preventable chronic disease. Here are 10 ways to help prevent, delay or reduce the extent of hearing loss.

1. Noise exposure. Are you one of those listening to iPods, shooting firearms, riding motorbikes, or working with lawn and garden tools? These devices are causing hearing loss at alarmingly high rates. Wear hearing protectors or avoid exposure to loud sounds.

Turn down the volume and reduce the length of time you listen to your iPod or mp3 player. Studies show that people who wear noise canceling or noise reduction earphones with iPod or mp3 players typically listen to music at safer levels.

2. Cotton swabs. Cotton swabs and ear candling are unhealthy practices to remove earwax, to clean or scratch your ear canals. Don't use cotton swabs to clean inside your ear canal. It can push the earwax in further

and you could puncture your eardrum.

3. Smoking tobacco and second-hand smoke. Studies suggest that chronic nicotine exposure impairs the brain's ability to "hear" and interpret sound. Along with the other reasons to stop smoking, you can reduce your likelihood of greater hearing loss if you quit or stay out of smoky places.

4. Diabetes. Diabetics are twice as likely to have hearing loss. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining proper weight and daily exercise can help you avoid type 2 diabetes.

5. Alcohol. Too much alcohol can contribute to permanent hearing loss. Recently, researchers found that drinking 2 beers in a half an hour can cause temporary hearing loss for up to 16 hours.

6. Solvents. Organic solvents (such as styrene and toluene) are commonly found in paints, lacquers and industrial printing inks. Studies have shown that these substances have a negative effect on your hearing.

7. Medications. There are at least 96 different drugs that may cause permanent or temporary hearing loss.

When you stop taking aspirin and aspirin-containing drugs, your hearing may come back. Excessive use of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, cisplatin (a cancer drug) and erectile dysfunction drugs can also cause hearing loss.

8. Antioxidants. Antioxidants and vitamin supplements may help prevent hearing loss. Hearing loss due to aging may be prevented with a combination of antioxidants, mineral and vitamin supplements such as folic acid and magnesium.

9. Your heart. Newly published reports show that a healthy cardiovascular system increases the likelihood of maintaining hearing, particularly among older adults.

10. See an audiologist. If you think you may have hearing loss, an audiologist will test, monitor and offer solutions to help you function better.

BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ, SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE IN MINNEAPOLIS AND ST PAUL People who already receive Social Security retirement benefits at age 65 do not need to apply for Medicare; they will be automatically enrolled.

However, if you are eligible to collect Social Security and you are going to keep working past your 65th birthday, it’s a good idea to inquire about Medicare within four months of reaching age 65. Even if you decide to wait until after age 65 to apply for your retirement benefits, you can apply for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) at age 65.

There is no charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) since you already paid for it by working and paying Medicare tax. There is a monthly premium for Medicare medical insurance (Part B), however.

IMPORTANT: If you are actively working and you have group health insurance through your employer when you become eligible for Medicare, you may want to defer Part B until you stop working or until your employer group health coverage ends.

(At that point you could qualify for a “special enrollment period,” with no premium penalty or surcharge.) To learn more about this and other Medicare considerations, read our online publication, Medicare, at socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html. Or call Social Security toll-free at 1-800-7721213.

Or talk to your employer.

Still other Medicare resources are 1-800-MEDICARE, and the MN Senior Linkage Line at 1-800-333-2433.

Finally, there’s a fast, convenient, and simple way to apply online for Medicare in as little as 10 minutes — even if you’re not ready to receive retirement benefits.

Just visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicareonly.

Library FROM PAGE 1 selection and a much bigger children’s area,� she said, adding that she uses her Scott County library card at Burnhaven. “My kids are getting older, but I still like to use the kids’ reference books.

Selection is what’s important to me.�

In addition to an increased variety of books, a dozen new computers in a new computer lab can be used for educational classes or for public use. Classes are taught through the library system and are open to the public.

Burnhaven also now has a new license center where residents can obtain vehicle registrations, birth certificates and fishing licenses that will open later in the month. “It’s a convenience for residents so they can use the library and the license center at the same time, and it’s also costsaving for the county because now they don’t have to rent retail space and will be able to use a county building,� Wisser said.

Convenience is key, and the new features of Burnhaven are designed to promote that. Patrons can now return books from the comfort of their own cars with a new drive-by book drop. Books are also now checked in using radio frequency identification chips to streamline the process to avoid manually checking in each book. “You can go online and pick out the book you want and they’ll send it here, so it’s very convenient,� Burnsville resident Elizabeth Jelmo said about her decision to come back to the Burnhaven Library. She added that she has been going to the Apple Valley library but expects to come to Burnsville’s with her young children at least once a week. “They have a nice kids’ area. I like that it’s a little smaller and there aren’t as many people here.�

For the 25 employees and 400,000 annual visitors, the changes will usher in a new era of readership for Dakota County residents. “The new entrance is welcoming, and there’s a lot more room and a lot more computer space,� Karen Johnson said. “I think it looks just great.�

COMMUNITY NEWS Ash trees on Cedar Trees lining 160th Street and 147th Street boulevards will be removed beginning May 18 in preparation for bus rapid transit.

DNR: Black bear spotting in Apple Valley ‘atypical’

BY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM • SUN NEWSPAPERS It’s never easy to be a teenager, but when you are a teenaged bear with a propensity to travel, there aren’t many places in the suburbs that you can fit in.

Such seems to be the case with a recent visitor to Apple Valley. The Apple Valley Police Department received three calls about the sighting of a juvenile black bear Wednesday, May 11, and officers responding to the scene discovered tracks leading authorities to believe the sightings were credible.

The bear was spotted in residential areas south of 140th Street between Galaxie Avenue and Pilot Knob Road, and north of 145th Street. It’s an uncommon call for police, but for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, it’s common for this time of year for northern suburbs. “This is the time of the year, and a typical call for us, for [reports of] young bears that have been displaced as their mothers entered a breeding season,� said DNR representative Bryan Lueth. “Teenage bears are looking for good spots in the world, and some individuals like to travel, for some reason. If it found area with secure food, it would settle down. But in an urban area, they tend to keep moving.�

Lueth said that it is common to get bear calls in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, closer to the black

bears’ natural habitat range, but a call from as far south as Apple Valley is atypical. He speculated that this particular bear does not travel during the daytime, and was likely able to move long distances using park and river corridors in the area. It’s reasonable, he said, to assume that the bear came from northern Minnesota. “They don’t post danger to people if precautions are taken,� Lueth said. “The typical Apple Valley resident doesn’t have a lot to worry about, but we ask residents in the northern suburbs whether they really want to feed birds, because bird feeders are a number one bear attractant. Coming out of hibernation, bears need a high-calorie food source, and bird seed is the jackpot.� “This is the first [bear call] that I can remember,� said police Captain Michael Marben.

The first call about the bear came in around 9:45 p.m., when a homeowner reported it walking through a front yard on a sidewalk. It was next reported walking through back yard towards Andy’s Market, and its last known position, stemming from a third call, was on Pilot Knob Road heading into a residential area. Officers discovered the tracks at 140th Street and Fleetwood Avenue.

Marben says that people should just leave the bear alone if they spot it; More information can be found online in a pamphlet, “Learning to Live with Bears,� at http://bit.ly/jKb384.

Trap Shooter FROM PAGE 1 over the years, to a point now where she can make history.

“In order to get her into competitive trap shooting, she had to take the firearms safety training. I sat with her through several trap shooting videos, how-to type videos,” Mark said, adding that both training sources helped her understand not only how to shoot but also what a good gun-fit was, “because gun-fit is probably the most important thing to be able to shoot well.”

At this time Kelsey was still a little too small to comfortably handle the weapon. Soon after this, Mark bought her a gun specifically designed for smaller women to shoot trap. The main advantage of these types of guns, Mark said, was their adjustable components.

“That was late in the summer, so we didn’t get back out there until the next spring,” Mark said. “Over the years, she improved along the way.”

Kelsey continued to work hard, according to her father, who added that she attended a couple shooting clinics to aid her development. She participated in many shooting competitions over the following years, winning several at 14 and 15 years old. The events brought her to Forest Lake, Owatonna, and Buffalo, Minn.

As Kelsey’s skills continued to develop, she continued competing and winning larger-scale competitions.

“I went to the Minnesota state shoot that year when I was 15,” she said, adding it was her first time. “I guess I had a very successful competition. I shot better than I ever had before.”

Soon, her skills developed to a point where she was recognized nationally by virtue of being named to the AllAmerican team twice.

“After two years of placement on the All-American team, I decided that I had achieved my goal,” Kelsey said. “Upon achievement, I had to set a new goal.”

She knew immediately that her goal was to win a gold medal at the Olympics.

Eventually, Kelsey made the all-

important change of shooting American trap to international trap, a change that did not necessarily come easy. Kelsey said there were many differences that made the switch more challenging.

“The targets can be presented at any angle within 22 degrees left or right of center,” Kelsey explained, referring to American trap, but in international trap, “There are 15 machines below ground, and the angles vary 45 degrees left and right of center.”

Citing the other differences, Kelsey said the targets are moving 62-75 miles per hour, and they are thrown 80 meters instead of 50 yards.

Her goal of winning an Olympic gold prompted the hopeful to leave Kerrville, Texas, where she trained from February 2008 to February 2011, at which time she arrived in Colorado to live and train at the USA Shooting facility for yet more training.

“I’m at the range shooting from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. six days a week, MondaySaturday,” she said, adding that she sees a sports neurologist. “Basically, sports neurology teaches you to tap into and

27

control your brainwaves.”

She added that the objective of the sports neurology was to execute a shot while on a specific brainwave, shoot on one while shooting on another. Kelsey also applies this philosophy to the Olympics, at least in her mind’s eye, for now.

“My personal coach said you have to have actually thought you’ve won it before you have in reality,” she noted.

The last 1,200 days, for the most part, have been all about training, and Kelsey said she has visualized standing on top of the podium and hearing the national anthem.

“I say I represent my god first, country second, and myself third,” Kelsey said, “and I definitely want to see my family in the stands.”

For Mark, nothing could make a father more proud than seeing his daughter succeed at such an elite level, and potentially winning a gold medal.

Understandably emotional, Mark said next to the births of his daughters, “I can’t think of anything that would make me more proud.”

Giddyap! Rosemount woman seeing rapid growth in new business

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS Sadie Simmons never realized that a hobby could become a fast-growing business venture.

The Rosemount woman may still be in the early stages of growing Sadie’s Hand Painted Tack, her home-based horse accessory business, but since her first sale, she has been very surprised with how quickly and how many orders are being placed.

All of this, however, did not come without a little help from modern technology – Facebook.

“One typical picture I will post will reach about 250,000 people,” Simmons said, “And my page itself is seen in 20 different countries and is translated into 19 different languages.”

The lifelong art as well as drawing hobbyist started Sadie’s Hand Painted Tack in January 2010 to make a hand-

painted tack set for her husband, Chris.

“I wanted this to last, I wanted it to be rough and tumble,” Simmons noted.

“Friends started noticing it, and then my friend instantly wanted some. So I started doing some for my friends. It all just kind of took off from there.”

As time passed, the number of those seeing Simmons’s artwork grew.

Eventually, people from outside her circle of friends expressed interest in her work. Now, close to 4,500 people look at her Facebook page and website, and she ships between 6-10 orders per week.

With her artistic leanings, combined with a background that includes being a member of the National Art Honor Society in high school and attending the College of Visual Arts in St. Paul for a year-and-a-half, Simmons works with her customers to customize their orders to their likings.

“People can customize their tack in

any way they want, which people are really starting to enjoy,” Simmons said about customized tack sets. “It’s really starting to hit the horse world in a big way.”

The artisan begins with raw leather, unfinished and unstained, along with a conversation with a customer about the design and any other ideas.

“Whatever item I’m painting, we’ve worked out all the colors,” she noted. “I have sent them sketches, some ideas, and I just start painting.”

Depending on the difficulty of the design and the piece she is working on, she usually completes her handiwork for each order in about one week.

“Anything leather I’m pretty open to painting, but I try to stick to tack,” she said, adding she has painted, at least on one occasion, a leather wallet.

Since starting her endeavor, she said there is one person in particular she con-

siders as more than a customer, a testament to her hands-on approach.

“She is actually from Wyoming, and we correspond almost everyday over email. She sends me pictures of her daughter and her daughter’s tack,” Simmons said. “She has purchased almost every item that she possibly could from me. She just loves it.”

As for her future plans, Simmons is content continuing her retail business for now. She plans on attending next year’s Minnesota Horse Expo in lateApril.

“That will be the largest step in showing an abundance of people who I am and what I do,” Simmons explained. “I never imagined that my hobby of doodling in notebooks and other things would turn into a business,” she said.

Kochevar well on the way to recovery After frightening on-ice accident, Lakeville North girls hockey coach plans to be back next season

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Buck Kochevar has been spending a lot of time with his children. He has been in the yard, getting it ready for spring. He even has learned to tolerate washing dishes.

If all of this seems routine, well, right now routine is good for the

Kochevar family. And it’s a whole lot better than the alternative.

It’s been about three months since Kochevar fractured his skull in a frightening on-ice accident during a Lakeville North girls hockey practice. He continues to undergo therapy, but the Panthers’ head coach and Lakeville elementary school teacher is on track to return to his normal duties sooner rather than later.

He said last week he expects to return to the classroom for the 2011-12 school year. He also plans to be with the hockey team when it starts its summer program in June.

“The doctors say I’m six months ahead of schedule right now,” Kochevar COACH: TO PAGE 31

Burnsville’s 8-4 victory over Eastview on May 12 gave the South Suburban Conference baseball powers a split in their regular-season series. Nobody will be surprised if they get a chance to break the tie in the upcoming section playoffs.

The Blaze’s victory not only gave it a one-game lead over Eastview heading into the final week of the regular season, it provided Burnsville with a needed psychological boost.

Eastview beat Burnsville 5-4 in the teams’ previous meeting April 18.

Although Burnsville coach Mick Scholl tried to downplay the significance of last week’s game, his players weren’t necessarily going along with it.

“This game was really important,” said winning pitcher Quinn Johnson, who worked the first six innings. “They beat us the first time and we wanted to send a message, let them know we’ll be here next time.”

If there is a next time. The Class 3A, Section 3 playoffs are scheduled to begin May 27, and the fifth-ranked Blaze (14-3 overall) and seventh-ranked Lightning (12-5) could be the top two seeds.

Burnsville also took a one-game lead over Eastview in the South Suburban, and the conference title still could be up for grabs when the league schedule concludes Saturday, May 21, at the conference showcase at Alimagnet Park. All 10 teams will be in action that day.

Three hits, an Eastview error and several walks and hit batters led to a six-run second inning for Burnsville. Eastview, which hit the ball harder than its total of four hits would indicate, was not able to recover.

“Our pitcher [Adam Moorse] had a tough time gripping the ball” in the cold, wet weather, Eastview coach Tom Strey said. “That’s not an excuse; the Burnsville kids pitched in the same con-

ditions. Adam was just a little bit off. He’s pitched on varsity before and done really well.”

Moorse had a 2.05 earned-run average and only six walks in 27 1/3 innings before last week’s game against Burnsville.

Burnsville catcher Justin Threlkeld was 3-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored. Derek Johnson had a two-run single in the pivotal second inning.

Quinn Johnson allowed four hits and three earned runs in six innings as he improved to 4-0.

“We tried to keep it low-key,” Scholl said, “but it’s easy for our kids to get excited about this game because Eastview is a good team with outstanding athletes. If you can beat Eastview, it’s a great win.”

Eastview outfielder Matt Larson had a two-out, two-run double in the third inning to get his team on the scoreboard.

David Barry drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Chris Narum drove in Scott Nelson with a single in the seventh.

Burnsville broke out of a brief offensive slump. Earlier last week, the Blaze had just three hits in a 9-1 loss to Apple Valley and slipped past Rosemount 3-1, scoring all its runs in one inning.

As for Eastview, “we hit the ball well,” Strey said. “We hit into a couple of double plays and when that happens in high school, it’s usually a hard-hit ball.

“I like that we kept battling back after the big inning. I think we’re right there.”

Eastview will play Lakeville North at noon Saturday in the conference showcase at Alimagnet Park. Burnsville plays Lakeville South in the final game of the day at 6 p.m.

The Blaze and Lightning are likely to receive first-round byes in the Section 3 playoffs. The top five seeds get byes and will have their first section games May 31.

Rough inning doesn’t cost Cougars a victory Baseball team hangs on to beat crosstown rival 7-6

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Lakeville South’s nagging tendency to have one bad inning a game might be amusing to Al Iversen, if he weren’t in charge of getting the Cougars to break out of that rut.

On May 12, at least, the Cougars at least could be relieved that a bad inning didn’t cost them a victory. They were seemingly cruising against crosstown rival Lakeville North, leading by seven runs in the top of the seventh inning before having to sweat out a 7-6 win.

“The whole season’s been like that,” Iversen said. “We did that against Prior Lake, Eagan, Eastview.

Against Burnsville, we led 3-0 and lost 14-3. But [in the Lakeville North game], I think the kids started to believe in themselves.”

For six inning against North, the Cougars combined solid pitching, timely hitting and sharp defense.

It’s times like that, Iversen said, when the Cougars show they can play with anybody in their playoff section.

South pitcher Matt Heilmann took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the game at Fredrickson Field in Elko before Lakeville North’s Austin Streit broke it up with a single.

In the seventh, North’s Alex Hanneman and Jake Berg hit back-toback doubles to get the Panthers their first run. Later in the inning, a two-run single by Bert Pierkarski made it 7-5.

The first pitch from reliever Nate Gelle – the third pitcher used by South in the seventh – was in the dirt and went to the backstop, scoring a run to bring North within 7-6. With two outs and the potential go-ahead run on second base, Hanneman lined out to shortstop to end the threat.

Derek Buermann’s two-run single in the fourth inning extended South’s lead to 5-0. Alex Continenza doubled in a run, then scored on a wild pitch to make it 70.

South’s victory gave the Cougars a sweep of the regular-season series with North for the first time in school history.

But the Cougars have struggled to play consistently well, as their 6-10 overall record (4-10 in the South Suburban Conference) attests.

Still, “we’ve made a big leap forward,” said Iversen, who is in his first

Notebook: South Suburban Baseball Showcase closes regular season

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS The South Suburban Conference will play its final round of regular-season baseball games on one day and in one place.

Called the South Suburban Baseball Showcase, the event will be Saturday, May 21, at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. All 10 SSC teams will be in action.

The conference championship also could be on the line. Burnsville started the week 12-2 in league play and held a one-game lead over Eastview. Each team had three SSC games remaining. Apple Valley (9-5) was the only other team with a chance to earn a share of the title going into the week.

Eastview plays Lakeville North (8-6) at noon. Burnsville takes on Lakeville South (4-10) in the final game of the day at 6 p.m.

In other games, Eagan (8-6) plays Rosemount (2-12) at 11 a.m., Apple Valley faces Prior Lake (7-7) at 2:30 p.m. and Bloomington Kennedy (5-9) plays Bloomington Jefferson (4-10) at 4 p.m.

Blaze clinches Matt Heilmann took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of Lakeville South’s 7-6 victory over Lakeville North on May 12. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy • Sun Newspapers) season as South’s head coach after 10 years at Apple Valley. “We’re taking care of the little details, like our fielders being aware of where our pitcher is trying to throw the ball and moving that way.”

Neither Lakeville South nor Lakeville North (9-8, 8-6) is in contention for the South Suburban title, so both teams’ concern in the final week of the regular season was positioning themselves for a playoff run.

North has a chance for a first-round bye in the Class 3A, Section 3 playoffs with a strong regular-season finish. A first-round bye might be out of South’s reach even if it wins its final four regular-season games.

The Lakeville teams will be part of the South Suburban Conference Showcase on Saturday, May 21, at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. Both

were in a position to be spoilers.

Lakeville North plays at noon Saturday against Eastview, which started the week in second place in the SSC, one game behind Burnsville. Lakeville South plays Burnsville in the final game of the day at 6 p.m.

The Section 3 playoffs are scheduled to start May 27. The section has a reputation for lower-seeded teams getting hot and taking the title.

Iversen coached one team to make it to state that way. His 2006 Apple Valley team was a sixth seed in the playoffs, but the Eagles won their section as well as the state tournament.

Teams don’t necessarily think in terms of winning the section when the playoffs start, Iversen said.

“The goal is to get to the final four because you don’t know what you’ll run into when you get there,” he said.

After clinching the South Suburban Conference championship outright last week, Burnsville’s softball team tried to complete an undefeated run through the league when it played Apple Valley on May 16.

Burnsville beat Lakeville North 4-2 and Prior Lake 11-0 last week. The victory over North on May 10 gave Burnsville the outright championship.

Megan Lehnen’s two-run double was a key hit in the second inning against Lakeville North.

Kelsey Anderson hit two home runs, drove in five runs and pitched a two-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts against Prior Lake.

Defending state Class 3A champion Burnsville is expected to be the No. 1 seed in the Section 3 playoffs. Pairings had not been determined when this edition went to press, but Burnsville will play its section opener at home Monday, May 23.

Other contenders for the section title include Bloomington Jefferson, which started the week in second place in the NOTEBOOK: TO NEXT PAGE

Another award for Banham Postseason awards continue rolling in for Lakeville North senior Rachel Banham, who last week was named to the Parade Magazine All-America girls basketball team.

Banham is the only Minnesotan on the 40-player team.

After leading Lakeville North to third place at the state Class 4A tournament, Banham received the Minnesota Miss Basketball award and was named Gatorade Minnesota Player of the Year.

She also was a finalist for the Downtown St. Paul Lions Club Amateur Athlete of the Year award that was presented May 17, after this edition went to press.

BV football meet and greet Burnsville High School football coach has scheduled a player-parent meeting Sunday, May 22, at the BHS gymnasium.

The meeting for prospective Burnsville Athletic Club players (grades 1-8) will be 55:45 p.m. The meeting for high school players (grades 9-12) will be 6-6:45 p.m.

Coach FROM PAGE 29 said. “That could possibly change, but all the tests indicate I’ll be ready to go for the first week of school.”

That doesn’t come as a surprise to Rich Schrick, Lakeville North’s assistant coach and a man Kochevar describes as his best friend.

“The guy’s a fighter. He’s going to do whatever he has to do to get himself right,” Schrick said. “This thing really scared him, but he wants to get back.”

Kochevar sustained the skull fracture when he fell and struck the back of his head on the ice during a Feb. 14 practice at Ames Arena.

“One thing I couldn’t believe was how calm and collected the girls were,” said Schrick, an elementary school teacher in Apple Valley. “Some of them got coats and blankets. One of them called 911. It was amazing.”

Kochevar had some internal bleeding between the skull and the tissue that protects the brain. He was first taken to Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville before being transported by helicopter to the University of Minnesota Hospital, where he underwent two hours of sur-

gery.

Meanwhile, the team had to prepare for a game. The Panthers played Farmington in the Section 1AA semifinals the next day. They had a two-goal lead with 9:45 left in the third period but eventually lost 5-4 in triple overtime.

The loss was especially painful because the Panthers had dedicated the rest of their season to Kochevar.

The next day the assistant coaches and the players who could get excused from school went to see Kochevar at the hospital. The coach said he was proud of them.

“I told the kids the same thing at our team banquet,” he said. “With all the things that went on, for them to go on the way they did was a real victory. They did a great job.”

Two weeks after the accident, Kochevar was sent home to continue his recovery. He’s been to Crystal Lake Elementary to see his students and visit the staff. His players come to his house periodically to check on his progress.

The post-operation headaches, ear pain and vertigo have disappeared.

Kochevar goes to speech therapy twice a week, where therapists also check on his cognitive skills. The nerves that control smell and taste have been described as “resting,” and Kochevar hasn’t yet

31

regained those senses.

He still needs plenty of rest and has to take things slowly. Schrick said Kochevar was annoyed that he couldn’t wet a line during last weekend’s fishing opener. He also is unlikely to make it Eveleth this summer for his hometown’s Fourth of July celebration. Kochevar runs the clown band that marches in the parade.

When he returns to coaching, there will be some changes. He is not expected to be allowed on the ice for a year, which means his coaching, even in practice, will be done entirely from the bench.

Also, all Lakeville North girls coaches will wear helmets when they’re on the ice in practice. Youth coaches in Minnesota are required to wear helmets on the ice, but the Minnesota State High School League does not make helmets mandatory for coaches.

Kochevar said he was humbled by the support of friends, neighbors and the community at large. Among other things, friends and neighbors brought meals for his family (Kochevar and his wife Lynn have two sons) while they spent time with him in the hospital and in-patient rehab.

“Of all the things that have happened, [the community support] might be the most eye-opening,” he said.
