From farmland to the future
EAGAN’S HISTORY UP CLOSE Want to see parts of Eagan’s history up close? Check out these places to view the city’s past first hand:
In 150 years, Eagan has grown from slow-paced farming community to 8th largest city in Minnesota
• Historic Holz Farm, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located on Manor Drive near Cliff Road and Highway 13. • Trinity Lone Oak Church, built in 1902, located at Highway 149 and Lone Oak Road. • St. John Cemetery, founded in 1888, located at Diffley and Blackhawk roads. • Stark’s Saloon (originally Alexander Haurd’s Halfway House, a saloon and stage coach stop), which has been in operation since before 1860, located at 3125 Dodd Road. • The former site of Nicols Station, Scott’s General Store and Chief Blackdog’s village, located on Nicols Road (follow Silver Bell Road north of Highway 13 to the railroad tracks).

While many people associate the suburbs with strip malls and new development, it’s a misconception that communities such as Eagan are devoid of history. In fact, Eagan has a rich history that spans back to the Native American tribes who built villages along the Minnesota River, followed by its earliest settlers from France, Germany and Ireland. This year the city is honoring that history by celebrating its 150th anniversary as a township. (For events and more information, see the Special Section included in this week’s paper.) “Eagan, like every other town or city, has very old

The Historical Society has also erected three historical markers at these locations: • 1914 Town Hall, located on the corner of Pilot Knob and Wescott roads. • Thresher Fields Park, off of Mike Collins Drive and Borchert Lane. • Dodd Road, at Dodd Road and the Highline Trail.
Eagan’s rapid development in the 1980s has caused many to overlook the city’s rich history, which is being celebrated this year during its 150th anniversary as a township. For more information on the celebration, see the Special Section included in this week’s paper.
EAGAN roots,� said Deborah MorseKahn, Upper Midwest regional studies specialist with Regional Research Associates. “Just because the boomers discovered Eagan
and built it up doesn’t mean the old community went away. But because Eagan is so developed, you have to know where to look.� Resident Don Chapdelaine, whose family settled here in 1853, remembers
his grandfather telling stories of Sioux tribes camping on his Eagan farmland. When he was 5 years old, he watched his father earn $8 a day – which he shared with a crew – to help build Highway 55 using horses for
labor. “There is an awful lot of history here,� said Chapdelaine, who used to ride his own horse down the dirt road that is now Yankee Doodle. “Life was very challenging, but it was at a
very slow pace. You worked long hours just to subsist and do the things you had to do.� When Eagan was declared a township in 1860, it had a population of 567, See Eagan, 5A

District 196 may seek levy District officials brace for cuts as state projects $6 billion deficit next year by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will consider whether to seek a levy this fall to help cover projected state funding shortfalls for the 2011-12 school year. The School Board is expected to discuss the issue at a July 12 retreat. “We’re looking this far ahead because we know things are going to continue to be more difficult for schools, so we need to make decisions about local funding opportunities,� said Finance Director Jeff Solomon. With state budget projections estimating a $6 billion deficit next year, district officials are not optimistic about the amount of funding that will be available for education. General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000
The $6 billion represents nearly 20 percent of the state’s total budget, and education funding makes up about 40 percent of the state’s budget, according to the district. The board recently asked staff to prepare three possible funding scenarios that include a 5 percent cut in state funding, a 7.5 percent cut, and a 10 percent cut. A 5 percent reduction would require the district to reduce its budget by $20 million. A 10 percent reduction would require a $27.1 million reduction to the district budget. A levy could bring additional funding, but it still likely wouldn’t be enough to avoid cuts, Solomon said. “If we were to move forward with the referendum and it was successful, we would still have to do some +&//: 800%4 $,&3." / 45"$&: " "/%3&8 .*--&3

EAGAN she lives and breathes the sport. A bona fide soccer fanatic, the Eagan teenager plays year round with the LeftFoot Coaching Academy and the Minnesota Thunder Academy, and she participates in the Olympic Development Program through the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association.
“I’ve been playing soccer since I was in kindergarten,� she said.

level of reductions in all scenarios,� he said. The district currently receives $1,042 per pupil from a levy approved by voters in 2005. A state levy cap dictates the district could only levy an additional $525 per pupil. That would mean an extra $15.5 million per year for the district, which is not enough to overcome even the most optimistic of the three scenarios, Solomon said. District 196 gets the majority of its funding – about 73 percent – from the state. The district’s total budget for the current school year is $298 million. The school board must notify the state by Aug. 20 if it’s planning to put a levy on the November ballot.

The Minnesota Valley Transit Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus simulator.
Commissioners take a spin down Cedar Avenue, without a vehicle Bus ride simulator helps train drivers by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Dakota County commissioners have a new understanding of the risks involved in driving a 9.5-foot-wide bus along a 10-foot-wide shoulder. On June 15, commissioners and members of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority took a virtual bus ride down Cedar Avenue to learn more about the driverassistive technology being installed in 10 bus rapid transit vehicles that will soon travel the busy roadway.
The University of Minnesota-developed simulator resembles the cab of a bus, and is surrounded by wallsized screens. As images appear and pass on the screen, it feels as though the bus is moving, and helps drivers become comfortable with using the cutting-edge technology designed to help them steer safely. Included in the system are â&#x20AC;&#x153;digital maps,â&#x20AC;? displays that provide information on lane boundaries and nearby vehicles even in low-visibility conditions. The system also features rear-end collision-avoidance systems and lane-departure warnings.
To help keep the bus between the lines, the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat vibrates like a rumble strip to warn when the driver is steering too far to one side. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste, a member of the MVTA board, compared the experience to a ride at Valleyfair, and County Commissioner Tom Egan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through airplane simulators before, but nothing quite like that.â&#x20AC;? The system has been found to increase safety and reliability by improving driver confidence while driving in narrow lanes. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
MVTA seeks meeting with legislative auditor by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Local officials are eager to meet with the state Legislative Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office regarding its investigation into transit governance. In a June 15 joint Minnesota Valley Transit Authority/Dakota County Board meeting, elected officials freely shared numerous concerns regarding the Metropolitan Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversight of transit funding and planning. Commissioner Will Branning said the Met Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control has grown over the years, and now local plans, funding and procedures must be approved by the regional agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we have subservient oversight going on,â&#x20AC;?
he said of the local transit providers that opted to run their own transit services instead of Metro Transit, operated by the Met Council. He noted that the optouts were first legislatively allowed after it was learned that, for the price local communities were paying for Metro Transit services, riders could have been given chauffeured limo rides. County Commissioner Tom Egan said the Met Council has a cookie-cutter approach to transit, but one size doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something unique, like BRT (bus rapid transit), you have to have the opt-outs and vehicles that look and act and operate differently than the conventional system,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste questioned why two different providers, MVTA and Metro Transit, are both
operating transit services from the new Lakeville park and ride off of Interstate 35. Scott County Commissioner Jon Ulrich said the situation is an example of Met Council inefficiencies, which the Legislative Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office intends to review. Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler said a key reason for the concerns is that the Met Council is only accountable to the governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no accountability with the Met Council, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key,â&#x20AC;? Schouweiler said. The board intends to set a meeting with the Legislative Auditor to further discuss concerns and provide input for its report, which is planned to be issued in early January.

land and settled in the area in 1894. The Streefland clan came to own large amounts of land in Lakeville and Burnsville along what is now County Road 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandfather owned land that became Buck Hillâ&#x20AC;? in Burnsville, Chris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sold it because he said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for pasture.â&#x20AC;?

mand. The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s brought new fire stations and an expansion and remodeling of the current City Hall and police department. That was followed quickly by a push from the community for ice rinks and swimming pools which resulted in the Civic Arena and Cascade Bay, Hedges said. Chapdelaine said he knew Eagan wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remain a farming community forever, and while he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resistant to growth, he wanted to make sure it was done well. He believes it was, and agrees that much of the credit belongs to Hedges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a gifted person to be able to steer the various city councils through that maze,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If any one person can be credited with contributing to what we have, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Hedges.â&#x20AC;?

The inevitable changing of the guard will present a challenge in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s near future, Hedges said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of institutional knowledge thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a number of people here because we have grown up with the organization,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that needs to be handed off to a new generation of leadership.â&#x20AC;?

Streefland was preceded in death by a daughter, Deborah Neubauer, and his parents, Russell Sr. and Mary. He is survived by Jeannette, his wife of 50 years; brother, James Streefland; sister, Mary Madden; children, Catherine (Rudy) Mohammed, Elizabeth (Cem Erdem) Streefland, Michael Streefland, Jennifer (Adam) Streefland Henry, and Christopher Streefland; grandchildren, Matthew (Heidi), Jacob, Morgan, Paige, Kadria, Noah, Isabelle, Emma and Charlotte; great-grandson, Jackson; sisters, Dorry Gerdesmeier and Ceil (John) Berres; and other relatives and friends.

early on that establishing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizational infrastructure would be crucial to meeting its future growth demands. He started by hiring Public Works Director Tom Colbert, Director of Finance Gene VanOverbeke, and Parks and Recreation Director Ken Vraa. The four men worked together to create a road map for the future of Eagan. They spent much of the late 1970s writing city policy, job descriptions, and working on master plans for parks, roads, schools and utilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting that organizational piece in place for the development rush that was going to happen in Eagan was so important,â&#x20AC;? Hedges said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done that, the growth would have come anyway, and we always would have been behind the curve.â&#x20AC;? As soon as the three highways were built in the early 1980s, Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development boom began, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember we had 11,000 lots approved in one council meeting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The developers were just licking their chops to get going. At that point we were leading the Twin Cities in residential construction.â&#x20AC;? Smart moves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like setting aside land for the municipal campus and zoning the northern part of the city commercial/industrial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have helped keep the city ahead of the curve, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people need to come first, then shopping and retail next, along with good commercial development,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed very healthy and diverse commercial/industrial growth in our city.â&#x20AC;? What was once farmland as far as the eye could see quickly became built up, and Eagan soon started experiencing growing pains as existing infrastructure stretched to meet new de-
of the county, Streefland pushed for use of cityowned land next to the old City Hall on Highway 13. In the end, the City Council approved a land sale with different terms than had been negotiated, and the deal fell through, Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately we built the Western Services Center (in Apple Valley), which made it a moot point, but for 15, 20 years we would have had nice county facilities right here,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. Jennifer said her father had a strong interest in human services and Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerable populations. His interests included improving foster care and â&#x20AC;&#x153;deinstitutionalizingâ&#x20AC;? youth treatment facilities, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually a social worker for the county, and was greatly encouraged by my dad to do that,â&#x20AC;? Jennifer said. The family moved in 1977 from the farm to a home on Elizabeth Lane in Burnsville. But Streefland â&#x20AC;&#x153;remained a farm boy to the
ďż˝
of converting farmland to homes and retail.â&#x20AC;? City Administrator Tom Hedges arrived shortly before the boom in 1976 and is widely credited with successfully helping usher Eagan into the modern age. Hiring Hedges was arguably the best decision ever made by any Eagan elected official, said Mayor Mike Maguire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you see it first hand, like I have as mayor, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to fathom just how much Tom Hedges and his staff have shaped the city of Eagan,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For more than 30 years he and his senior management team have set a high bar of professionalism and built a culture of success that is, I think, unmatched in any city anywhere.â&#x20AC;? A city administrator in St. Peter when he first heard about an opening in Eagan, Hedges said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know where Eagan was.â&#x20AC;? A lot of people at the time didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, he said. Still largely undeveloped, it was mostly considered a passthrough community for those headed down south. Driving on the yet-unnamed Diffley Road toward Pilot Knob, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first impression was I thought I was heading back out to the country. My wife and I thought, wow, this is really rural. We wondered where downtown was.â&#x20AC;? While it was still a community of mostly farmland and open space, Hedges said he knew its proximity to St. Paul, Minneapolis and the airport would make it a desirable spot for future development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned that Eagan was really planned for growth, that the whole city was in the Metropolitan Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban growth area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew at some point Eagan was really going to take off.â&#x20AC;? The city at the time had only about 35 employees, and no department heads. Hedges said he knew
â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was really into softball,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer, of Prior Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are four girls in the family, and he coached us all.â&#x20AC;? Streefland was elected to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners in 1976 and served through 1988. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was for the people. He really was,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Turner of Burnsville, who succeeded Streefland as District 5 representative and served for 20 years. Turner, who had been a Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board member, credits Streefland for bringing him into county government through a couple of committee appointments and supporting his bid to replace him. Streefland and other County Board members of his era were fiscal conservatives, Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great legacy that he left,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He left the county in absolutely outstanding shape.â&#x20AC;? Turner recalled that in the mid-1980s, when the county was looking to locate some courtrooms and offices in the western part

and an oak tree was used as the official bulletin board of the community. Predominantly a farming community, Eagan was then known as the Onion Capital of the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandma used to talk about the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onion trainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that would stop and pick up onions because Eagan was well known for its onion production,â&#x20AC;? said Fire Chief Mike Scott, whose family has been in Eagan since the 1800s. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-grandfather owned two farms, and his great-uncle owned Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store, built in 1900 and located near the modern-day railroad tracks off of Highway 13 and Cedar Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general store was a gathering place where they had dances and that kind of thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. Scott, who was named the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-time fire chief in 2006, is himself a little bit of Eagan history, as is his sister Lynda Myhre, who was Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first female firefighter. Scott said the city was still primarily made up of farmland even when he was growing up in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, and his first job was working on a farm that used to be where Thomson Reuters now stands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s it was totally different,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the winter we would go snowmobiling all around Eagan. It just changed so quickly in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s.â&#x20AC;? So how did Eagan go from a sleepy farming community to the eighth largest city in the state? Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boom years began in the 1980s and spilled into the 1990s, spurred by the construction of three area highways: I-35E, 149, and 77. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That opened the gate,â&#x20AC;? Chapdelaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a rapid acceleration
School Board member who had only an eighth-grade education. Streefland was valedictorian of the Lakeville High School Class of 1953 and graduated from St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University in 1957. He married Jeannette Penzenik on Aug. 20, 1960, and earned a degree from the William Mitchell College of Law in 1963. He closed his Burnsville law office at age 70, but continued to represent some longtime clients from home, Jennifer said. His civic resume includes the Burnsville and Lakeville chambers of commerce, the Burnsville Rotary Club, the former Community Action Council, the Minnesota Bar Association, the Dakota County Bar Association, the Dakota County Mental Health Board and Metropolitan Mosquito Control. He served for many years on the School Board of the Academy of the Holy Angels High School, which his children attended, and was a longtime Burnsville Athletic Club coach.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Are you finding information you want about District 196? by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Would you be content if people described you just by giving your height or weight? Probably not. There’s much more to know about you than a couple of numbers, like: Are you married? What are your hobbies? What are you really good at? Do you have youngsters? What’s your job? What is something you are proud of accomplishing? Are you a member of a religion, and if so, which one? Those are questions that give a fuller picture of each of us than a couple of numbers. As the school year ends, I’ve been thinking about how to describe schools and districts. What would you like to know about School District 196 public schools? The district’s website is www.district196.org. The home page recently featured information about the district’s 18 elementary schools each earning Silver Awards from the U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture’s Healthier School Challenge. Another part of the home page described district-owned assets that are being auctioned. There are links to videos of a variety of district activities, including graduations, an honor ceremony for people who retired, a winter concert, and other events. The website also has videos about Glacier Hills, Cedar Park and Diamond Path elementary schools. Contact information is provided for many people, starting with the School Board members and the superintendent. There is a great deal of information about students, some of it comparing the district and the state. For example: • District 196 has about 23 percent students of color, compared to about 24 percent in the state. • The district has about 16 percent students receiving free/reduced lunches, compared to 33 percent statewide. • The district has about 5 percent
students for whom English is a second language, compared to about 8 percent statewide. On the website, the district compares its spending in various categories with other districts and the state average. A vast array of information is available about each school in the district. Teachers are listed, along with their contact information. Some include biographical information about themselves. Some teachers have their own websites with detailed information about their classes. This brief description illustrates but certainly doesn’t include everything on the website. The Minnesota Department of Education website also provides information about your district and schools. If you go to http://education.state.mn.us/ReportCard2005/index.do, and then to the section that lists districts alphabetically, there is a vast amount of information. MDE includes a description of the
students by race, income level, percentage of students with special needs and students who don’t speak English as their first language, percentage of students proficient in reading and math, and student-teacher ratios. There’s also a section on the Minnesota Department of Education website showing how your district compares to other districts on total costs, as well as individual items like administration and community education. Some of this information is gathered and reported because of federal requirements. But I’m wondering – what information are you looking for? Are you finding it? Please let me know.

Why should hard-working people have to continue to pay for those who have babies they can’t support and/or who don’t want to work? You can make well over $30,000/ year when you combine all forms of welfare that some people receive. That is ridiculous. I’m in the home improvement business. Do you realize if you want, you can get the government to pay for your roof, siding, doors, furnace etc? My tax dollars are paying for somebody else’s home improvement.

Hope is what keeps those suffering from the disease fighting reaching yet another birthday. Hope is what brings communities together to hold events like the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. It is these types of events that nurture the hope that anyone diagnosed can be a cancer survivor. Local volunteers are a huge part of a nationwide effort to save lives and raise hope, but additional people are needed. Plans are underway for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life being held July 16 at Eagan High School. The money raised by the Relay enables the society to help people stay well, get well, and find cures while fighting the disease. The goals of this event include putting together 50 teams and raising $100,000. These may seem like lofty aspirations, but it is the hope held in the hearts of those affected by cancer that inspire such standards and make reaching them realistic. This year’s honorary chair survived a difficult journey. Nora Kaufman was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 29. Nora fought a long and difficult battle, enduring painful treatments and procedures. Nora overcame her obstacles and has been cancer free since 2001. When Nora’s story is shared there is a clear element that led her to persevere: hope. It is the importance of hope that the society advocates and it is with the help of their resources that hope is realized. Nora will be speaking at the Relay and there will be other events, including a carnival and silent auction with great donations from local businesses and ending with a survivor lap as a big celebration for all the birthdays yet to come. Now is the time for individuals, families, community groups, corporations, and small businesses to support the Relay.

May of this year marks the first time since August of 2005 where the Twin Cities real estate market had five consecutive months of year-over-year median price increases. However, pending sales figures declined sharply in May. It is clear that the tax credit party is over and the hangover has truly set in. The May median sales price for the Twin Cities 13-county metropolitan area was $175,000, a 6.1 percent increase over last May, but the only segment of the market where prices actually increased was the lender-owned (foreclosure) submarket. Traditional and short sales both posted yearover-year price declines. New listings were down across the board; pending sales were down for every category except short sales â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which were up 28.4 percent over May of last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it was nice to see another month of median price gains, a decline in pending sales certainly casts a pall over any additional price increases,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Fisher, president of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rising prices and declining sales is a pattern that presumably cannot continue.â&#x20AC;? The median sales price of traditional homes (excluding foreclosures and short sales) in May was $198,000, down $12,000 or 5.7 percent from the $210,000 figure posted last May. The foreclosure sales price showed a welcome 7.6 percent increase to $125,000, while short sale properties posted a 7.0 percent decline to $143,250. There were 3,910 signed purchase agreements in May, a decrease of 24.6 percent from last year. That is the greatest year-over-year decrease since April 2006. Seller activity also slowed considerably, with 6,335 new listings posted. This represents a 22.4 percent decrease from last May. In fact, by year-to-date figures, there have been only 23 more pending sales so far this year compared to last. Like many regions across the country, there was an uptick in activity as the April 30 federal tax credit deadline approached. When the tax credit ended, buyers seem to have lost interest without the substantial incentive enticing them into the market. In terms of year-overyear comparisons, housing inventory remained fairly constant in the Twin Cities. The 26,412 active listings for May weighed in at just 1.0 percent under May of last year. The supply-demand ratio increased by 11.0 percent to 5.05. This means that there are about 5 homes available per buyer for June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is clear that the tax credit affected the timing of purchases, the amount of new business it stimulated is uncertain,â&#x20AC;? said MAAR president-elect Pat Paulson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another couple months in the books will further help to untangle post-tax-credit effects from broader market trends.â&#x20AC;?

Burnsville sets softball field ablaze Girls win third state title in seven years by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Burnsville High School’s softball team has another state title. The Blaze won the Class AAA state title on June 11, defeating North St. Paul 3-2 in the finals in North Mankato. It’s the team’s third state title in seven years. making the Blaze the most successful program in the last 10 years. The only other softball teams with three state titles in the past 10 years are Class A’s New Ulm Cathedral and New Life Academy from Woodbury. “We talked a lot about tradition this year,” head coach Hilary Hansen said. “Softball is a big part of the community. It’s a big effort from parents to the Burnsville Athletic Association. And we have amazing kids. They don’t complain. They’re so willing to learn.” The girls team took notice. They were fully aware of Burnsville’s success at a young age. They idolized the stars from 2004-05. “We have really high standards,” senior catcher Maggie Dunsmore said. “From when I was young I knew the older girls got it done.” The will to win played a part. “We have the most heart for sure,” junior center fielder Megan Lehnan said. “We believed in each other so much. We never lost our cool.” It was the last game

Anderson, Mackey and Lehnan were named to the all-tournament team. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
Burnsville flourishes with the right mix Blaze baseball team qualifies for state for the first time since 1989
by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
For the first time in 21 years, Burnsville has qualified for the state baseball tournament. It wasn’t for lack of good teams. Burnsville made it to
the section finals five out of the last seven years, only to finish runner-up. “It feels great to get over that hump,” senior outfielder Jacob Threkeld said. “It’s the first year we were able to conquer the section.”
If they play their game, many of the players feel confident the state tournament will be a success this week. So what is their game? “Our game is playing the whole game and never
give up,” senior outfielder Tom Sherman said. “I don’t think anyone has ever doubted when we’re down that we could get back up.” For one, Burnsville can hit. The team averages 8.2 runs per game and nine
players have batting averages well over .350. Derek Johnson, Dan Motl, Brandon Peterson, Sherman, Matt Stemper, Jacob Threkeld, Justin Threkeld, and Billy VerSee Baseball, 12A

Meer all have double-digit RBI numbers this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One through nine in the batting order, everyone can hit who comes up to the plate,â&#x20AC;? Threkeld said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We score eight or nine runs per game.â&#x20AC;? Those runs have given Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitchers a little more breathing room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we score four runs in an inning the pitcher can come in and relax,â&#x20AC;? Sherman said. Jacob Threkeld and Peterson both have ERAs of less than two runs per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I give up a run or two, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK,â&#x20AC;?

nation and chemistry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have any chemistry problems,â&#x20AC;? Threkeld said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great,â&#x20AC;? Stemper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody likes everybody. We pick each other up.â&#x20AC;? Burnsville entered the state tournament with a 19-5 record. The Blaze won eight of their last nine to get there. The losses this season have come against some of the best teams in the state. The Blaze dropped two close games to fellow state competitor Eden Prairie as well as games to Lakeville North, Apple Valley and St. Louis Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hate losing,â&#x20AC;? Stemper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learned we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it.â&#x20AC;? The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid record gave Burnsville the No. 2 seed in the Section 3AAA tournament, but players knew that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many teams were pretty equal,â&#x20AC;? Threkeld said. In the past two years, lower seeds such as Rosemount and Eagan came through to win. Last year Burnsville was a top seed, but lost to Eagan in the finals. Burnsville beat Eagan again in the Section 3AAA finals, which was particularly satisfying because Eagan beat Burnsville last year to advance to state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re our top rivals now,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They
ended our season last year. It felt real good to beat them.â&#x20AC;? The Blaze also defeated Park of Cottage Grove and Eastview to get to the section finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My head was racing,â&#x20AC;? Threkeld said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were so relieved and excited.â&#x20AC;? They knew going to state was a possibility when the season began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always knew we had a good team from the beginning of the year,â&#x20AC;? Sherman said. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the first game with Eagan that the Burnsville players believed they could do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we 10-runned Eagan we knew we could beat anyone,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just lost a tough game to Eden Prairie and Eagan beat Eden Prairie.â&#x20AC;? The players werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nervous before the state tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen top competition all year,â&#x20AC;? Threkeld said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same field. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same game,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. Burnsville took on Brainerd on Thursday in the Class AAA quarterfinals. The finals are scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, June 19 at Target Field in downtown Minneapolis.

probably been different at the end if they had something to play for,â&#x20AC;? Nichols said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was going to be a 4-3 match either way.â&#x20AC;? To get to the state finals, Eagan defeated Forest Lake 4-3 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday and Rochester Mayo 4-3 earlier on Wednesday. Against Forest Lake, Lutovsky got a win at No. 3 singles and Radamacher got a win at No. 4 singles. In doubles, Vishal Yelsetti and Brian Fisk got wins at No. 2 and Ben Ekstein and Zach Ekstein won at No. 4. In the semifinals against Rochester Mayo, every singles player won including No. 1 Abrams, No. 2 Peterson, No. 3 Lutovsky and No. 4 Radamacher. Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over with the team finals. He participated in the Class AA singles tournament on June 10 and went 1-1. He defeated his firstround opponent Austin Anderson from Centennial 6-3, 6-0. In the next round he lost to Edinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erik Nordahl, the eventual state runner-up, by a score of 6-2, 6-2.
The Eagan High School boys tennis team ran into a familiar foe in the Class AA state finals on June 9. The only Minnesota team to defeat Eagan this season was Lake Conference rival Eden Prairie, which beat Eagan 6-1 in the state finals. Eagan wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t full strength at the time, so the team shuffled its lineup around. After a leg cramp to key singles player Logan Peterson in the semifinals, coach Scott Nichols switched strategies. Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to win the three doubles matches and No. 4 singles. Anthony Lutovsky joined up with Justin Abrams at No. 1 doubles. Peterson teamed with Brady Radamacher at No. 2 and Drew Nichols with Brendan Hollidge at No. 3. Zach Ekstein at No. 4 singles notched a win, but all three doubles squads lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just ran out of gas,â&#x20AC;? coach Scott Nichols said.
