Lakeville boy, age 4, honored for 911 action Dad receives Father’s Day gift he’ll never forget

BY MATTHEW HANKEY SUN NEWSPAPERS

Former Burnsville resident Kim Schultz is returning home this month to tell a story unfamiliar to many Americans. Schultz’s play, “No Place Called Home,” will have a four-day run at the Illusion Theater in Minneapolis July 1417 as part of the theater’s “Fresh Ink” series, which features new, often experimental shows each summer. Schultz, who lives in New York City, portrays 12 displaced Iraqi refugees who have escaped Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and the U.S. military occupation. “We are very excited about Kim’s play,” said Sherry Mooney, Assistant Director of Communications at Illusion Theater. “Our real focus is to put on productions that touch on current world issues. We think this piece is a perfect fit.” The impetus for the play began with Intersections International, a New York-based social justice organization that commissioned Schultz, Amikaeyla Gaston and six other American artists for a one-month visit to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to speak with Iraqi refugees, learn their stories and give them a voice.

Former Burnsville resident Kim Schultz performs a scene in her one-woman play, “No Place Called Home.” In the play, she depicts 12 Iraqi refugees displaced from their country due to the Saddam Hussein dictatorship and U.S. military occupation. Her play will run July 14-17 at the Illusion Theater in Minneapolis. (Submitted photo)

PLAYWRIGHT: TO PAGE 3

BY MICHAEL RICCI SUN NEWSPAPERS One Lakeville 4-year-old recently learned that a phone call can not only save a life but may also lead to a great deal of deserving recognition. Kieran O’Neill called 911 when his grandmother fell ill several months ago, and was honored Sunday, June 19, at the Minneapolis Convention Center during the National Emergency Number Association conference. He was awarded with a national 911 Local Heroes Medal of Honor award from the 911 for Kids organization. When Kieran made the call, he had just turned 4 years old, but his age didn’t detract from his sincerity, according to Dakota Communications Center dispatcher Victoria Ryan. While the majority of emergency calls received from children of that age are accidental, Kieran’s was different. “I wouldn’t say he was my first call that was that young but certainly more serious than the others that would have called,” Ryan said about how the young man conducted himself. Last September, Kieran’s father, Mike, took a few moments to go over the 911 calling procedure with his son. Mike had discussed 911 with Kieran on other occasions, but on Sept. 10, Mike’s instructions turned out to be quite timely. Mike explained that Kieran’s grandmother, Nancy, had become ill on previous occasions. “That day I kind of had a gut feeling,” Mike said. Mike covered the entire calling process from their home phone, quizzing Kieran along the way. He showed the 4-year-old which buttons to push, including the button to activate the speaker feature. 911 CALLER: TO PAGE 5 Serving the Metro Area Since 1990 Fully Insured

Springing up with summertime produce BY HANNAH LUND â&#x20AC;˘ SUN NEWSPAPERS With farmers markets starting to bloom in Dakota County, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to eat your vegetables. Rooted in several locations around the metro area, local farmers gather to sell their products, along with meeting faces from around the community. According to at least one event coordinator, what you see is what you get â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what you eat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In grocery stores, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get,â&#x20AC;? said Shari Haselmann, coordinator of the Lakeville Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, the food isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to go bad as fast, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a home-town feel: friendly and neighborly.â&#x20AC;? Products range from Lorenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Berry Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberries and jelly to well-known Great Harvest bread. Sellers, such as Carol Knapp at Great Harvest, like the opportunity to talk directly to the customers. According to Knapp, there has been a growing trend in being what she calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;locovore,â&#x20AC;? or a consumer who consistently shops locally. Knapps believes this has a lot to do with food quality and trust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like us because we have all kinds of variety that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else,â&#x20AC;? Knapp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no preservatives, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very fresh.â&#x20AC;? For Great Harvest, variety translates as breadproducts like â&#x20AC;&#x153;scruffins,â&#x20AC;? a mixture of scones and muffins and Finnish Pulla Bread.

Bao Lee, a member of a farming family and vegetable stand at several markets, enjoys being a part of farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and seeing customers explore the local food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you sell locally, you have the opportunity to express how you take care of your produce,â&#x20AC;? said Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rewarding to see all your hard work paying off. To have that complimented â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than the money.â&#x20AC;? Food stands echo each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calls to try samples of products. Many of the sellers agree that samples are the best way to grab a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Over at Three Rivers Farm, curious marketgoers sample ginger, vanilla or cinnamon-flavored syrups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get to meet a lot of people,â&#x20AC;? said Barb Parry of Three Rivers Farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it more family-like.â&#x20AC;? Families from Lakeville, Burnsville, Rosemount, Apple Valley and beyond enter the tented areas to see what treats will greet them that day. Sweet honey melts in the summer breeze, while families lick their fingers for the final drips of flavor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a carnival of herbs, and for Apple Valley Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market first-timer Ray Hutton, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience that deserves another taste-test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good variety that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find in other stores and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fresh,â&#x20AC;? said Hutton.

Playwright FROM PAGE 1 “These are voices largely unheard by Americans,” said Schultz. Hearing these stories and soaking them took their toll on her emotionally, Schultz said. By the end of the trip, she was near her wit’s end when she met an Iraqi man, Omar, and fell in love with him. “In a way, Omar saved me, because I was at my bottom and here was this one man who showed me humanity and compassion and loved me and kind of brought me back – and that’s kind of the basis for the play,” Schultz said. The love story between Schultz and Omar is weaved throughout her portrayal of a dozen Iraqis. The Iraqis Schultz portrays run the gamut of people she met on her trip, she said. She plays a male teenager who has to quit school to work because he is the only family member who can be its breadwinner. It’s illegal for refugees to work, and the son must sell what he can on the streets and hopefully not get caught. She plays a woman in her 60s who

had to flee Iraq because her husband sold alcohol, leaving their adult daughter behind. She plays an old man with a big laugh who teaches the audience how to do an Iraqi dance, and who is concerned with legacy he will leave. She plays a child who tells stories to the audience, all of which deal with death and loneliness. The plight of Iraqi refugees is largely overshadowed by news coverage of the military occupation in the country. Intersections International wanted to tell their stories through art, not traditional media, to humanize the dangers the refugees face every day. “Hopefully, the love story opens their hearts and they can see these Iraqis as people and not what the press often portrays them as,” Schultz said. Gaston said was working with the refugee children and sharing her musicals gifts with them was one of the project’s most poignant moments for her. “ D e s p i t e o u r d i f f e re n c e s w i t h respect to language, we really connected with the music because it’s s u ch a u n ive r s a l l a n g u a g e, ” Gaston said.

by how much time they spend laughing,” Mooney said. Ultimately, Schultz wants the play to inspire others. “I hope that people come to the show and will come with open hearts,” she said. “I think that they might be surprised with what they might leave with.” All perfor mances cost $15.

Broadway in October 2010 under the direction of Sarah Cameron Sunde. Gaston performed all the music. “They’re almost all chants and music that I lear ned from the refugees,” Gaston said. “Essentially, the essence of all of the chants are there.” The play has since been performed in Indiana, Washington, D.C. and New Jersey. A full-scale fall tour will hit theaters and universities across the country. Schultz said bringing her play to Minnesota was on the top of her list, and hopes people can come experience what she has dedicated the last two years of her life to. “I really hope Bur nsville [residents] can come out and hopefully they can lear n something about what’s going on in the world,” said Schultz, a 1988 graduate of Burnsville High School. While the play is heavy on emotions of pain, fear, loneliness, and death, Schultz has found a way to weave humor throughout. “My goal is to find comedy where I can,” Schultz said. “The show has funny, light elements as well. I think people will be surprised by that.” Mooney echoed Schultz’ sentiment. “I think people will be surprised

911 caller FROM PAGE 1 “I told him, ‘Just do that. Mommy will be home soon, but just in case,’” Mike said. His gut feeling turned out to be right, as Nancy had fallen ill while Mike and his wife, Kandace, had left Kieran with her for a brief period of time. Kandace was on her way home, while Mike had left for work. “[Nancy] was dizzy and sick,” Kieran said, recalling that September day when he witnessed his grandma falling ill. He asked her if he should call 911. “She said, ‘Maybe,’ and I did.” Ryan, the 911 operator, began asking Kieran routine questions to better assess Nancy’s health. “She was asking if [my grandma] was bleeding or vomiting blood, but she wasn’t” Kieran said. The boy stayed on the phone until help arrived and brought Nancy to a nearby hospital, where she made a complete recovery. According to Ryan, Kieran was very bright as he answered all of her questions and followed her directions with ease. Kieran’s calm and

Kieran O’Neill collected demeanor, and his ability to communicate well, really caught the 911 dispatcher’s attention. “He’s very articulate,” Ryan said. “He was just on a mission. He was going to help his grandma. It was great.” Ryan compared the young man to adult callers, many of whom panic in emergency situations.

“We have adults that freak,” she said. Despite the concern Mike felt for both his mother and his son, the fact that Kieran was able to conduct himself in such an adult manner did not come as a complete shock. He and Kandace take the time daily to teach their child about many subjects, namely reading and interacting with others. “I taught him to learn his phone number, learn how to spell his name and how to talk to police officers,” Mike explained. “His mom has had a lot to do with it too. She makes sure every night – every single night without exception before we go to bed – he reads at least three books.” Kieran and Ryan were reunited this past month for the award ceremony, at which time they had some time alone together. Despite being in front of approximately 100 people, Kieran wasn’t nervous. “I just looked. When I first came out, I waved to grandma Nancy,” Kieran said. “I saw them all.” While watching his son from afar, Mike could not help but feel a great deal of pride, particularly that day. “It was on Father’s Day,” Mike said. “I’ll probably never ever have a better Father’s Day present than this. What could top it?”

In my opinion, governor, legislature both get a big red “F” BY PAUL NEWSPAPERS

WAHL

•

SUN

So let’s say you blow a fuse in your brain and you’re rushed to the hospital. When you get there, the doctor informs you he can’t operate today. He had a dispute with his wife over breakfast. When he arrived at the hospital, he had a dispute with chief of staff. There was no way to resolve the disputes so sorry, you have to die. That might be a bit overdramatizing what a state government shutdown is all about, but you get the idea. The Minnesota Legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton refused to operate and we – all of us reading this who helped elect them and who pay their salaries – are the losers. If you have someone who refuses to do his or her job like

the physician referenced above, the answer is simple. “You’re fired,” to quote Donald Trump. Unfortunately, we have to wait until the next election cycle to “fire” any of our politicians. And voters have notoriously short memories. My best guess is this shutdown won’t even be a topic during the upcoming campaigns. Any elected official on either side of this issue who believes the people of Minnesota are going to buy either argument for failing to avoid a state shutdown may be wearing some hefty rose-colored glasses. Conservative, moderate or liberal, Minnesotans understand what it means to “do good work,” as Garrison Keillor is fond of saying. What happened July 1, 2011, does not represent “good work” on the part of anyone.

They didn’t “get-er-done,” as Larry the Cable Guy would say. Perhaps Minnesota’s politicians need to take a page from the old NASA handbook. “Failure is not an option.” You remember those days, no doubt, when we all of us had differences of opinions but compromised to accomplish the goal. But when it meant saving the lives of three astronauts, no one at NASA was willing to give up and shut down operations in Houston. The best face that can be put on the entire injustice is that cooler heads will prevail over the long holiday weekend and an agreement can be reached Tuesday. This is being written Friday morning to accommodate short holiday print deadlines here at the newspaper. What happens once the lights are turned back on is up to us as taxpayers and voters. If

“crisis management” is your preferred form of governance, then you should fold your hands over your chest and laugh heartily at everyone who was harmed in the process. If your sense of fair-play and propriety has been breached, the ball is now in your court. You can yawn and walk away … politics as usual … or you can stand up and let your thoughts be known. Whatever side of the political aisle you are on, the sad fact remains that the legislature and the governor were given a job to do and they failed to do it. The patient died. Most of us were prepared to live with whatever was decided, but to simply not decide is unacceptable. As a taxpayer and their employer, clearly the governor and legislature have earned a “fails to meet minimum expectations” rating. Paul Wahl is a managing editor at Sun Newspapers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who to believe on the budget? To the editor: I’ve heard Republican legislators and supporters state repeatedly that their $34 billion twoyear budget proposal offers a 12 percent spending increase compared to the past two years. This statement is designed to make their offer look generous and the governor’s $36 billion alternative look outrageous. One big problem: it’s misleading at best and downright manipulative at worst. The Republicans can only make the 12 percent claim if they use $30 billion as the figure for state spending over the past two years. It’s true that’s what the state spent directly from its own revenues. But it’s also true that the state spent $4 billion more in federal stimulus money and in promises to reimburse school districts later for what

they spent back then. That adds up to $34 billion, which means the Republicans are proposing nothing much more than a spending freeze, while Gov. Dayton is proposing well below a 6 percent increase. When challenged, Republicans counter that the $4 billion wasn’t “real” spending because it didn’t come solely and directly from state revenues. That’s like claiming a family that paid for something with a gift from an uncle and a credit card charge never really bought anything. That $4 billion bought actual education, health care, and public safety services. And I’m thankful we never had to try out the alternative. I’ve worked with budgets for a living, and I’ve learned that if we twist the numbers just to prove a point, we only end up fooling ourselves. Bruce Johnson Apple Valley

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Board of Education unanimously voted June 16 to place a levy referendum renewal before voters in November. This levy, first approved by voters in 2002, provides about $10 million in operating funds each year and is scheduled to expire in 2013. Approval of the levy would extend it 10 more years at no increased cost to taxpayers. Board members are not seeking new money, only a continuation of an existing levy at the current level of funding. School districts receive about 80 percent of their operating dollars from the state of Minnesota on a per pupil basis. For four years, that amount has remained the same at $5,124 per pupil. The state also allows districts to ask voters to approve local levies to support schools. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Election Day, Nov. 8. Voters in Savage and Shakopee also have city elections that day. However, voters in Burnsville, Eagan and Apply Valley do not have city elections and voting locations may be changed.

District 191 will provide more specific referendum information as it becomes available.

A “Yellow Ribbon” community in the making in Burnsville BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS The first step has been taken. Burnsville has a ways to go to be recognized as a “Yellow Ribbon Community,” but the City Council recently pledged its support to make that happen. The “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon” program creates public awareness in order to connect service members and their families with community support, training, services and resources. The military has a training process that helps service members re-integrate into the community. The “Yellow Ribbon” campaign takes it a step further by connecting the community to support them, said Annette Kuyper, director of military outreach for the Minnesota Army National Guard. She said this is a unique program that uses nearly no funding or government entities. Individual communities do the work. Burnsville’s “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon” campaign will host a “kick-off ” event 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 20 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center, 12600 Nicollet Ave. The event is open to the public, and an overview of the program and how it works will be presented. Volunteers will be asked to form a steering committee to lead and help Burnsville be supportive of veterans and their families, said Tom Hansen, Burnsville’s deputy manager. “We’re hoping to get a number of volunteers to step forward and say, ‘Yes, I do want to be a part of this,’” Hansen said. The steering committee will consist of leaders in key areas of the city in public safety, city leadership, educators, youth programs within the schools, business community, veterans, faith-based organizations, social services and medical providers, Kuyper said. The steering committee will create an action plan for each key area to demonstrate commitment to helping service members and their families. “It helps create a community where no military family is isolated or alone and they can get the help when they need it,” Kuyper said.

Each action plan will be combined to form a master plan, which will be submitted to the state for approval. From the time of the kick-off, the average community takes up to a year to have its action plan ready to submit to the state of Minnesota, Kuyper said. “It’s a methodical process of looking in every area of the community to gain commitment and support and to capture what they’re already doing,” said Kuyper. Dakota County is in the process of becoming a “Yellow Ribbon” county, which helped jump-start Burnsville’s own community campaign. Dakota County already has several “Yellow Ribbon” communities, including Hastings and Lakeville. Farmington was proclaimed as the state’s first “Yellow Ribbon” community in 2007. Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount are also in the process of becoming “Yellow Ribbon” communities, said SFC Dave Denton, Yellow Ribbon outreach coordinator with the Minnesota Army National Guard. The Apple Valley event will kick-off 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1176, 14521 Granada Drive. Denton said that reaching out for assistance is not always easy, but in his experience, rewarding. Seeing his community unite to help service members and their families exceeds his expectations. “Just seeing the community members out there – I’m floored,” Denton said. “It’s always positive energy that you’ve got coming from the community.” Hansen said the city’s efforts to become a “Yellow Ribbon” community are in line with its values. “It’s basically just the right thing to do,” Hansen said. “If we can hook up assistance for veterans and military families in the community, that’s a good thing. In a nutshell, that’s exactly what we should be doing.” For more infor mation, go tobeyondtheyellowribbon.org or call 651-282-4284.

New baseball exhibit hopes to hit sweet spot with history fans BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Baseball enthusiasts and history buffs alike will be treated to a special exhibit this month at the Dakota County Burnhaven Library. “For the Love of the Game,” an exhibit that traces the history of AfricanAmerican baseball players who contributed to the sport in Minnesota, will be on display at the library through the middle of August. The exhibit’s curator is Frank M. White, whose father, Louis V. White Jr., played on the all-black baseball team Twin City Colored Giants in the 1940s. White Jr. batted over .500 when he played for the Mechanic Arts High School team in 1946, a St. Paul City Conference record that still stands. White created the exhibit to tell the stories of the African-American baseball players who are largely lost to time. “My focus is really the guys that played in the 40s and 50s because they’re guys that were great athletes, great baseball players and nobody knows about them,” White said. “I wanted to share a history and sharing that story helps add to the legacy – not only of Minnesota baseball but of Minnesota black baseball.” White approached the Ramsey County Historical Society in fall 2009 to create the exhibit. The Metropolitan Library Service Agency decided put the exhibit on tour early this year. Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund support the cost, and the exhibit has toured to libraries in Maplewood, Fridley and Shakopee, among other cities. Maggie Hein, a librarian at the Burnhaven Library, encouraged people viewing the exhibit to feel a connection with the cultural diversity within the city of Burnsville. “It’s a piece of legacy and history that hasn’t been completely told yet,” Hein said. “It’s a way to celebrate the diversity of our clientele – our patrons here at our library.” The exhibit highlights many of the players of these all-black Minnesota teams. The state never boasted a Negro League team, but often times Negro League teams would barnstorm – play exhibition games – against the local allblack teams in the state to generate more income and make ends meet. White’s father was actually recruited to play for the Negro League’s Kansas City Monarchs by Buck O’Neill, who went on to be the first African-American

coach in Major League Baseball. Family obligations kept White Jr. home in St. Paul. “I’m also sure my mom wouldn’t let my dad traipse around the country playing baseball,” White said, adding his grandmother wanted him to stay home and raise his son (Frank M. White) who was born Louis White Jr.’s junior year of high school. Historical timelines, uniforms, baseball bats and gloves are featured in the exhibit, as well as many photographs White has been able to acquire. Ramsey County Historical Society curator and archivist Mollie Spillman says additions are still being made to the exhibit from people whose relatives played on allblack baseball teams. “Families are excited to share their fathers stories, their grandfathers stories and photographs, which were largely unpublished before their deaths,” Spillman said. The list of players who played on allblack teams in the state is filled with many who went on to highly successful baseball careers. “I think people are going to be amazed at the list of people who played here in Minnesota,” White said. African-American Minnesota Twins players are featured in the exhibit, White said. The exhibit was to be featured at the 2011 Twins Fest, but the collapse of the Metrodome and relocation of the festival prevented the exhibit from showing. TwinsFest 2012 will hopefully feature “For the Love of the Game,” White said. Part of the exhibit deals with informing people that there were segregated baseball teams in a northern state such as Minnesota, White said. Many people he has met are surprised to learn that. Spillman agrees that this part of history is worth telling. “[The exhibit] gives recognition to outstanding athletes that were denied participation in many locations because of the color of their skin or the language they spoke,” she said. The exhibit is special in that it’s human-oriented and an unearthing of their stories, Spillman said. “It’s the history of people,” Spillman said. “It’s a personal story and I think everybody can relate to that in some way – about hardships, about triumphs and about accomplishments.” For more information about the exhibit, go to dakotacounty.us/library or call 952-891-0300. The Dakota County Burnhaven Library is at 1101 W. County Road 42 in Burnsville.

If a state shutdown is avoided or short-lived, the school board may choose to sell less than the full $12 million in certificates. The district needed to authorize the sale as soon as possible, to ensure it could receive approval from the state Department of Education before July 1.

Approximately 80 percent of District 191 operating dollars come from the state. In recent years, state aid payments have been delayed to help the state balance its budget. A school board meeting has been scheduled for July 21 to give final approval to the sale.

LAAC hosting ‘Twin Cities On the Bias’ quilting exhibit Creations offer varied interpretations of ‘bias’ in the Twin Cities BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Former Minnesota Contemporary Quilters president and current member Sharon Englund created this quilt titled “Minnehaha Creek Bias.” The piece is just one of many that can be viewed by community members at the Lakeville Area Arts Center through the end of July. (Submitted photo)

The word “bias” generally carries with it a negative connotation, but for the more than 100-plus members of one group, its meaning is open to interpretation. The Lakeville Area Arts Center is hosting “Twin Cities//On The Bias,” an exhibit from Minnesota Contemporary Quilters, through the end of the month. Community members are invited to view the exhibit during regular hours at the center 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, at 20965 Holyoke Ave. The Minneapolis-based group has approximately 125 members from various communities in and around the Twin Cities metro area, and according to member Wendy Lazear, the exhibit is issued to group members as a challenge. “We call them our yearly challenges,”

Lazear said. “Some of the members work on them for months. Most of that time would be spent thinking about it.” Lazear explained that the use of the word “bias” was not only deliberate, but also used to encourage a wider variety of interpretations by members. Prior to stitching “bias” to the exhibit’s theme, the group selected the Twin Cities theme because its annual convention was hosted in St. Paul this year. “The title ‘Twin Cities’ was a little vague, so we added ‘bias,’ which could have many meanings,” Lazear said. “Many [members] took the term literally.” As one would enter the exhibit, he or she would see a more detailed explanation of the exhibit and the members’ objective written out on a stand in the lobby. “[The exhibit] reflects fiber artists’ thoughts, feelings, and reflections about the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis,” a description on the stand QUILTS: TO PAGE 19

Burnsville co-op offers healthy eating choices BY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER Valley Natural Foods has the features you’d expect at an upscale grocery store, with an organic twist. The Burnsville co-op has grocery and produce sections, bulk produce bins and a deli with prepared foods, cheese and meats. At a sunny dining area or outdoor patio, customers can enjoy items purchased from the soup and salad bar or a café serving coffee and fruit smoothies. The wellness department is stocked with vitamins, supplements, skincare items and bulk herbs, teas and spices. “Our philosophy is giving people healthy choices,” said marketing and communications manager Charli Mills. “We want to introduce people to different ideas of healthy eating, so they can make choices around that.” What sets the member-run co-op apart from other area stores? Community involvement and a commitment to organic and locally grown products, Mills said. Many of the store’s products are certified organic — free of hormones, herbicides and pesticides, she said. The store also focuses on stocking items from Minnesota producers, including fruits and vegetables from Gardens of Eagan near Farmington and meat from Hill and Vale Farms in Wykoff. The co-op has 8,500 members, most from Burnsville and Apple Valley, but a few regular customers travel from Iowa, Mills said. Non-members can shop at the co-op, but members get special product discounts. A $100 lifetime membership allows member-owners to vote in determining the co-op’s long-range goals. Founded in 1977, the co-op has been in its current location since 2001. In response to a growing number of customer requests, the store stocks many products that are dairy-free or gluten-free, Mills said. Shelf tags designate the gluten-free status of items and the co-op recently introduced a line of gluten-free breads, muffins and cupcakes produced at an off-site bakehouse. Customer service is an important part of the store’s success, said wellness department manager Naomi Lundberg. The wellness department’s staff can advise shoppers on herbal or holistic remedies, she said. “We never try to take the place of a doctor,” she said. “We’ll always tell them to with their practitioner, but many times there are different herbal things, or more holistic ways to go about healing than just taking antibiotics.” Valley Natural Foods has developed educational programs to help customers fit

whole, fresh foods into their diets. They include gardening classes and cooking classes using fresh ingredients like tomatoes, corn and herbs. Promoting children’s healthy habits is the focus of the current “5210 Challenge” campaign. Kids can win prizes and sign up for activities during the four-week program, which runs through July 27. As part of its commitment to healthy living, the co-op has also installed community gardens on its property, said community garden manager Gary Johnson. Some gardeners are digging in the dirt for the first time, while others are condo or apartment dwellers, he said. Peppers, radishes, strawberries and marigolds grow in about 45 rented plots arranged in two circular areas, each measuring about eight feet across. The store’s products and programs aim to offer consumers a range of healthy options, Mills said. “We’re not trying to tell them what to do or how to do it, but we’re here to support and encourage and provide those kinds of choices,” she said.

What is your favorite way to relax & unwind? Sponsored by Ambiance Spa & Salon • Burnsville

By: Ali Holman I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize, reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness where people have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices you make are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it be even better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary? Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end. The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you right back where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on a Lifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitably lead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”

eggs

low-fat dairy

Eggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for eggwhites for the low-cholesterol, fatburning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

Studies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

beans

oatmeal

Beans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

whole grains

interval training

Our body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.

lean meats Search for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

Some would be called fiber artists, while others came from traditional quilting and art backgrounds.

She described a typical quilt, saying that it was a process of putting together many pieces of various types of fabrics.

Adolescence comes with a one-time window for building bones that will stay stronger into adulthood and beyond. That’s why it’s so important for young teens to “build their bone banks” with weight-bearing exercise and a diet rich in calcium. At least three cups of low fat or fat free milk plus other calcium-rich foods each day is a good rule. If you have children 11–15, make sure they take advantage of this critical time frame. They won’t get a second chance to build strong bones. A public service message from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

A busy week

The South Suburban Conference recently announced its all-conference teams for baseball, softball, lacrosse and golf. All-conference teams for track and field and boys tennis were not available at presstime. The teams included the following athletes from Dakota County schools (players are seniors unless noted):

Just two days after his Burnsville team won the state Class 3A baseball championship, Justin Threlkeld was back on the field in the Lions High School All-Star Baseball Series at Chanhassen High School. Threlkeld, the Blaze’s starting catcher, played for the Metro West team in the June 2425 all-star series. Metro West went 2-1 in the four-team, round-robin tournament and won the championship.

Gopher Classic expands and creates opportunities for Eagan High School 66 teams coming to metro area for Legion baseball tournament BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS The largest American Legion baseball tournament in the country just got bigger, and Eagan is involved in the expansion. The Jim Hanus Gopher Classic is growing from 48 to 66 teams this year, creating a need for three more host sites

in the metro area. Baseball officials in Eagan moved quickly to fill one of those spots. “When we registered for the tournament, we let [tournament director] Jim Peck know we would be interested in hosting if they needed us to host,” said Kevin Nagel, head coach of the Eagan Patriots Legion team. “Eagan High School has a beautiful field. It’s one of the best fields in the state. It’s perfect for this tournament.” The Gopher Classic begins Friday, July 8, with pool-play games at 11 sites. CLASSIC: TO NEXT PAGE

The University of Minnesota football team has a quarterback issue with the graduation of four-year starter Adam Weber. Lakeville South’s Mitchell Leidner might help the Gophers solve that problem even though he won’t arrive on campus until 2012. Leidner, who is entering his senior year at Lakeville South, verbally committed to Minnesota on June 29. He competed in Minnesota’s 7-on-7 passing tournament June 25 and evidently did enough to convince the coaching staff his future was at quarterback. The Gophers initially had shown interest in Leidner as a tight end. Leidner, 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, passed for 17 touchdowns and more than 2,000 yards at South last season. He was part of two Cougars teams that played in state tournaments. The football squad reached the state Class 5A quarterfinals. Leidner also started at forward for the South basketball team that won the Class 4A, Section 3 championship.

North wins passing tourney Lakeville North football players recently earned a trip to Dallas. The only problem is, it’s in midsummer. Lakeville North won a regional qualifier for the Red Bull Game Breakers 7on-7 national tournament, to be held July 15-16 in Dallas. At the time this ediNOTEBOOK: TO NEXT PAGE

Classic FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Six teams from Dakota County – Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eastview, Rosemount and Lakeville North – will play. Eagan High School and Legion Field in Apple Valley are two of the host sites. Hopkins, Fergus Falls, Rochester Patriots, Grand Forks, N.D., and Kenosha, Wis., also will play at the Eagan pool-play site. Five games are scheduled at Eagan each day Friday through Sunday, with games starting at 8:30 a.m. Mankato, Bemidji, Minneapolis Southwest, Mitchell, S.D., and Meridian, Idaho, will be at the Apple Valley site, where the Apple Valley 76ers are the host team. Play starts at 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday at Legion Field. Burnsville, the top-ranked team in the state American Legion poll, plays in a pool at Chanhassen High School. Rosemount’s pool play games will be at Bethel University. Eastview will be at Haddox Field in Bloomington and Lakeville North goes to Veterans Field in Minnetonka for pool play. Sixteen teams – 11 site champions and five second-place squads – advance to the single-elimination playoffs beginning Monday, July 11. The championship game is 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, in Minnetonka. Eight of the top 10 teams in last week’s state American Legion poll are playing in the Gopher Classic. They include Burnsville and No. 3-ranked Maple Grove, whose high school teams just played for the state Class 3A championship (Burnsville won 6-5 with a stunning seventh-inning rally). The Dakota County teams are spread across multiple sites so they won’t face each other in pool play. One of the goals of the Gopher Classic is for teams to play new opponents. “When you enter the Gopher Classic, you will be playing against teams you don’t normally see,” said Peck, the tournament director. “The mix of teams makes the tournament special.” Eagan is interested in being host of the 2014 state American Legion tournament, Nagel said, and organizers were advised to treat the Gopher Classic as a trial run. In Eagan, proceeds from the three days of pool-play games will go to the community’s traveling baseball teams for players 16 and older – Legion, Junior Legion, Senior Babe Ruth and VFW. It would be nice to make some money, Nagel said, but “we want to make sure it’s a good experience for the out-of-town teams. We’d like to put on a good show.” Eagan was 11-8 overall before taking a break for the July 4 weekend. The Patriots played a doubleheader against top-ranked Burnsville on June 29, winning the first game 3-1 before losing the second 15-1.

Randy Krypel pitched a complete game in the opener against Burnsville, holding the Cobras to seven hits. “Randy and Nick Wolff are juniors who didn’t play an inning for the high school varsity in the spring but are playing a lot for us,” Nagel said. “And our senior leaders, [Charlie] Conkel, [Tommy] Bodeker, Brady Loew and Ryan Burmeister, are really helping us.” Eastview took a 6-1 record into last weekend’s New Ulm Invitational. Apple Valley (7-9) and Burnsville also played in the New Ulm tourney. Lakeville North was 7-5 overall going into a June 30 doubleheader against Lakeville South and Faribault. John Sherman contributed to this story.

Notebook FROM PREVIOUS PAGE tion went to press, the team had not decided if it would go to the national tourney. The Panthers defeated Hopkins 18-14 in the regional championship game, sealing its victory with an interception with less than 30 seconds remaining. Burnsville and Bloomington Jefferson also participated in the local qualifier June 28 at Lakeville North High School. “I’m impressed with the way our team played. We were very athletic today,” Lakeville North coach Brian Vossen said. “We had to come back twice against Hopkins, which is a great football team. We don’t get the chance to play them in the regular season, so this was nice.” The Red Bull tournament began in late May with qualifier rounds in 16 cities. Winners from each qualifier advance to the national tournament at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on the Southern Methodist University campus.

Big lacrosse tourney Youth lacrosse teams from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville and Rosemount will compete in the fourth annual Prior Lake Athletics for Youth tournament beginning Saturday, July 9. The tournament, which is for players in grades 3-8, is expected to attract more than 800 players. Boys competition will run approximately 8 a.m,.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Girls teams will play Sunday, July 10.

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

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