Nothing gets classic car owners quite so uneasy as the prospect of golf ball-sized hail. Auto enthusiasts sought shelter for their vintage vehicles in the Wings Financial parking ramp (above) when a massive thunderstorm swept through Apple Valley on June 25 during the Dancin’ & Cruisin’ classic car show, which is held annually in the lot outside Bogart’s Place nightclub as the kickoff event to the city’s Freedom Days summer festival. Freedom Days continued this week with a concert from the Minnesota Over 60 Band in Hayes Park, a Kids Fishing Derby at Lac Lavon and a host of other family-oriented activities at sites throughout the city. The festival offers more fun this weekend – the schedule includes Family Fun Night, a chicken dinner at American Legion Post 1776, the Fourth of July parade and a fireworks display in Johnny Cake Ridge Park; a full schedule is at www.avfreedomdays.com.

Selection for DCC leader delayed Schedule conflicts push choice for 911 call center executive director to July 7 by Tad Johnson and Laura Adelmann

that selection will be made July 7. The selection would be forwarded to the DCC Board of Directors for consideration at its July 15 meeting when it will be made public. At that meeting, the board could abide by the recommendation, select another candidate or restart the process.

The Dakota Communications Center Executive Committee aimed to have the 911 call center’s new director in place by now, but the added time will result in a more informed decision. The committee had hoped to name a successor for Executive Director Kent Therkelsen at its June 17 meeting, but it appears

Scheduling conflicts in setting meeting times with the finalists to conduct a leadership assessment and background checks analysis are the main reasons for the delay. Therkelsen’s last day on the job was June 30. He announced his retirement last year. He said the interim director will be Lakeville resident Diane Lind – current DCC operations See DCC, 5A

Gravel mining operations at UMore Park would produce up to three million tons of material annually, according to the draft Environmental Impact Study released June 28. Eventually, the University of Minnesota would like to develop the 1,722-acre property, located in southeastern Rosemount and Empire Township, into a sustainable community with a large lake. Approximate north/south project boundaries are from County Road 42 to 170th Street West and east/west from Biscayne Avenue to Akron Avenue. To fund the project, the university is planning gravel and sand mining and related activities at the site beginning next year. The document states the property is estimated to yield 250,000 tons of sand and gravel the first year, and between 700,000 to three million tons of materials per year for the next 40 years. Phased extraction is proposed to be completed by 2051, depending on demand for the products, according to the draft EIS. Equipment that will be used to dig up to 80 feet below the natural water table will include bulldozers, scrapers, backhoes, excavators, loaders, graders, dredges, conveyor systems, screens, crushers, wash plants, scales, and haul trucks. Proposed in the document

ROSEMOUNT are 24-hour dredging activities, with a note that early morning and night hauling will result in minimal traffic congestion. The plan states that County Road 46 will be a primary transportation route for the operation; truck traffic will also be on Highway 3, County Road 42 and U.S. Highway 52. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste said mining traffic would be restricted from residential areas, and the document states that mining boundaries would be at least 350 feet back from housing, with 12-feet tall berms and landscaping techniques planned to mask mining operations. “We’ll have to go through the documents and where we have concerns put it in writing and make sure it makes sense,� Droste said. An open house will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. July 22 at the Rosemount Community Center, 13885 South Robert Trail, for people to learn more about the project and offer comments. A presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. by University of Minnesota representatives and consultants who will also answer questions. The 273-page EIS can be found online at www.umorepark.umn.edu/Gravel_Resources_and_Assessment. html. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Extreme van makeover Susan Edman’s van got a surprise NASCAR-themed makeover as part of a contest prize package by Andrew Miller

APPLE VALLEY

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

There was a big surprise in store for Apple Valley resident Susan Edman when she arrived home on Saturday, June 26. Edman’s 2002 Pontiac Montana van had been “skinned� (wrapped) with the same design as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car of her favorite driver, Ryan Newman. The bold new look for the van was part of the prize package Edman, 39, received as the grand prize winner of the Tornadosbrand snack food “Skin It To Win It� challenge on Facebook, which asked people to submit what they would like “skinned� and why. Edman’s husband, Chris,

entered the contest on behalf of Susan, a breast cancer survivor who underwent a bilateral mastectomy. Chris wrote in his entry: “My wife survived breast cancer last year and while Ryan Newman has always been her favorite, he was especially helpful during chemo. “Watching him race ... was a welcome distraction for her while enduring the weekly poison that ultimately saved her life. Skinning her van would blow her mind – she deserves to have something fun happen to her.� Chris’ entry was named the grand prize winner from more than 2,400 submissions nationwide.

In addition to the vehicle wrap, the prize package included tickets to the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., over the Fourth of July weekend, along with $1,000 and an iPod nano. Unbeknownst to Edman, her van had been wrapped on June 25 and stored overnight in her father-in-law’s garage. The next morning, Edman returned home at 11 a.m. from garage sale shopping with her sisters, Ann and Sandra, to find a throng of friends and relatives – along with a camera crew – in the yard and driveway. “OK, what’s going on?� Edman wondered out loud. “This is weird.� The mystery was ex-

Rich Clausen has become a familiar face at Freedom Days. Each year for the past 20 years, the Apple Valley music instructor’s middle school-age students have taken part in the community summer festival’s Fourth of July parade. This year, they’ll be belting out popular favorites such as “Rock Around the Clock,� “Low Rider� and “Jailhouse Rock� seated on the back of a flatbed semi trailer on the parade route which starts at Pennock Avenue and Fireside Drive at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 4. For the band students, the parade is a culmination of the rehearsal time they’ve been logging at Clausen’s home on Harwell Avenue a few blocks from Valley Middle School. Each summer, Clausen offers his class, “Rich Clausen’s Summer Pops,� through School District 196 Community Education. Clausen, who also directs the south-metro-based se-

Schwartz Pond may gain fishing pier As a result of a wetland mitigation project, Rosemount may gain a new public-access fishing pier. Under a plan that is currently being developed, SKB Environmental would improve Schwartz Pond, located on park land next to Rosemount High School and behind the Rosemount

Community Center, as part of a wetland mitigation plan to replace wetlands lost during SKB’s construction projects. Last week, officials discussed possibilities for the project, which include building a fishing pier, expanding the shoreland and installing a rain garden or other treatment to help filter water before it reaches

the pond. The project may be finished this year, said Community Development Director Kim Lindquist.

Rosemount residential city tax assessments set to decline in 2011 City Council may consider service cuts by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

City tax revenues on residential properties in Rosemount are anticipated to decrease for the second year in a row. This year, the city portion of the average residential property was reduced by $77 and next year, the city anticipates a $42 property tax decrease for those properties. Under the proposed 2011 budget, city taxes on the median family home would be $906, as the average home value continues to decline about 8 percent. Rosemount City Administrator Dwight Johnson said the city has done several key things to compensate for the tax reductions. First, the city has stopped relying on state aid, which has proven to be an unstable funding source. “Not since fiscal year 2007 have we had a budget that was based on getting state aid,� Johnson said. Second, the city used previous-year surplus funds to pay off some of the city’s debt, saving $190,000 in tax levies for 2011. The city also managed to keep balanced amidst a turbulent economy. While falling property val-

ues have cut the city’s tax base by about 10 percent since 2009, most of the reduction has been offset by new growth in the community. Proposed for next year is a city budget increase of about $565,000 from gravel- tax revenue and increased cable TV franchise fees. The proposed budget also includes a union-negotiated 1.5 percent salary increase for the city’s 80 full-time employees and anticipates a 10 percent health insurance premium increase. Other expenses include budgeting for a loss for the Steeple Center’s first year, with $87,500 in expenses and $13,500 in revenues anticipated in 2011. Over half the expenditures ($46,000) are for utilities. Earlier in the year, the City Council agreed to consider reducing some services, which could save about $91,150. Topping the list is a proposal to charge athletic teams a maintenance fee and reducing the amount of herbicide applied to athletic fields. Also being considered is reducing the number of city newsletters and park brochures produced while also reducing travel and conference budgets. In addition, the city may

eliminate Web streaming of council meetings, which could save up to $10,000. In anticipation of the Emerald Ash Borer, the city is proposing to use $25,000 received annually from SKB earmarked for landscaping to prepare for the invasive bug. During a June 9 work session, City Council member Kim Shoe-Corrigan said the beetle relentlessly attacks trees, and she knows a person in Ohio who lost 40 trees to the insect. “It just chokes the trees to death and they die,� she said, adding, “It’s going to be bad when it hits.� To prepare, the city is budgeting for planting other tree species, and eventually removing infected trees. Rosemount Parks Director Dan Schultz said his goal is to get a five- to 10-year headstart planting trees. “We may go with evergreens, but probably we’ll try to prescribe specific trees in various areas,� he said. State law requires the city adopt the preliminary budget and levy by Sept. 15 and the final budget be adopted by Dec. 20 after a public hearing.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist A moderate Republican reminds us of better days by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It might not be intentional, but Ed Kearney, president of the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, has been bringing some controversial speakers to membership lunches at Enjoy! restaurant. A few months back, former state Sen. Dick Day entertained the faithful with the message he’s delivering in his new position as lobbyist for a racino at Canterbury Park racetrack. Day believes a little more gambling is the answer to the state’s budget deficits. And last week at Enjoy!, Ed introduced a speaker who is bold enough to argue that moderation is what we need in these polarized times. We heard from a former Republican governor that it will probably take a combination of taxes and expense reductions to get our state out of the mess it’s

in. Former Gov. Arne Carlson unloaded on the Legislature in general, on Democrats for their eagerness to raise taxes and – most energetically – on his own Republican Party for its knee-jerk reluctance to deal with a budget deficit that has put Minnesota in a financial crisis. Carlson, as some of you might recall, was elected our 37th governor in 1990 and re-elected in 1994. He was known as a moderate who spoke his mind as governor and previously as state auditor and as a legislator. Over the past year or so, he has been highly critical of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty for not facing up to the state’s deficits by doing such things as borrowing from the schools, making accounting shifts and closing his mind to any new taxes to deal with billions in deficits that will face the next Legislature.

But his fundamental message was that the current political system is dysfunctional in that it leaves no room for finding common ground. Carlson could have talked about the way he worked with Democrats to solve a state financial crisis or other problems when he was governor. But he chose to recall that Democratic President John F. Kennedy sought advice from his Republican predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, when he was dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s. What we need in Minnesota and in our nation, Carlson said, are leaders who have “a moral compass,” not political rhetoric that “demonizes individuals” rather than seeking solutions. “We are not attracting the best and the brightest to public service,” Carlson said. “Demonize the messenger. Trivialize the issues.” Making it clear that Pawlenty,

who shares his political party, is among his targets, Carlson said: “Postponing the tough decisions is not political leadership.” He cited the cooperation between Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich as another example of the type of collaboration that’s needed today both nationally and in our state. These comments from the Republican former governor reminded me of governors who led my home state of Michigan when I was growing up there. Moderate Republicans William Milliken and George Romney, father of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, worked with Democrats in a state, like Minnesota, dominated by Democrats. But as we head into another gubernatorial election, we have a campaign shaping up between Tom Emmer, an extreme right Republican, and one of three very liberal Democrats – Mark

Dayton, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Matt Entenza. And our governor, who kicked the budget issue to the next governor and Legislature, has taken his no-taxes message and antiDemocratic rhetoric to the national stage as he runs for the Republican nomination for president. Forgive me if I felt a tinge of nostalgia while listening to our former Republican governor counsel leaders to find common ground. “We have to emphasize the courage to do right, not to be the agent of our own ambition,” Carlson said. “History has rewarded those who have made the tough choices.” Larry Werner is editor and general manager of Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune.

not low revenue collection, is the principal culprit in budget deficits. Businesses and individuals are required to practice fiscal discipline, so why shouldn’t our state? The current District 37B House representative, Phil Sterner, is not the person to adhere to these principles and solve the tough economic problems of our state. Make no mistake, voting for Phil Sterner gets you nothing but more of the same. Sterner is part of the very party whose House Speaker, Margaret Anderson Kelliher, has led the charge in taxing and spending Minnesota into oblivion. Considering the above, I am respectfully requesting that District 37B residents take the time to talk with Kurt Bills, the Republicanendorsed District 37B candidate for the Minnesota House. Bills understands the importance of bringing fiscal conservatism and responsibility to Minnesota, and the need to turn the economy around by allowing the private sector to grow and flourish as we all know it can. Bills has my vote and I hope he has yours.

While I was there, I noticed a man wearing a vest that indicated he was a Vietnam veteran holding a child’s hand. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to say when I approached him, but I knew the only thing I could say was “thank you.” As I shook his hand and looked into his eyes, I saw a tear which reflected the one in mine.

Research, educators: Limit computer time, promote reading & active learning this summer by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Recent startling studies about children and computers make it even more important that we listen to educators’ advice about families’ activities this summer. Many young people love their technology. But lots of time on a computer does not produce the positive results in school that come from activities many educators are suggesting. John Wollersheim, Rosemount High School principal, recommends: “Read! All kinds of genres. Challenge yourself to read materials you wouldn’t normally read. Find math equations in everyday circumstances. The more you can make math applicable, the more success you will have.” Julie Olson, director of elementary education in District 196, talked with several local elementary principals about how families can help students this summer. She told me that their responses were consistently the following: • Set aside reading time each day to keep in the habit and build skills as well as enjoyment. • Limit screen time: Get outside and be physical! • There are tons of wonderful and interesting places (historical and cultural) in the Twin Cities: Take some family field trips and talk about what you observed. But, can’t young people read and explore while they use computers and smart phones? Yes, but ... . A Kaiser Foundation study release earlier this year involving more than 2,000 youngsters ages 8-18 around the country found that youths who spend more time with media report lower grades and lower levels of personal contentment.

“Children whose parents make an effort to limit media use – through the media environment they create in the home and the rules they set – spend less time with media than their peers.” You can read a summary of the report at www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/8010.pdf. A study of North Carolina students in grades 5-8 found that spending more time on a home computer produced “modest but statistically significant and persistent negative impacts on student math and reading test scores. Further evidence suggests that providing universal access to home computers and high-speed Internet access would broaden, rather than narrow, math and reading achievement gaps.” These researchers acknowledged “it is possible that computer and Internet access improves important skills that are not directly measured by standardized tests in math or reading.” Their study is at http:// papers.nber.org/papers/w16078. No one is suggesting that families eliminate electronics. However, as Erin Talley, principal of Otsego Elementary School, suggests: “Turn off the television and reduce screen time; choose activities that engage the mind and body.” Along with reading books, whether it’s a hike, a canoe trip, or an excursion to the science museum or historical society, getting out and being active should be an important part of a young person’s summer.

Tom and Marlene Majeski are opposed to Dakota County’s new 150-foot water setback rules, which would ban them from entering about half their 14-acre property, on which they spent years taming back thick brush, as shown on the right. to seek the same kind of exemptions. “I see it every day. People build in the flood plain, their home and buildings are washed down the river and we as taxpayers have to turn around and pay for it again,� Harris said. He added that federal rules and regulations on properties in the flood plain have been in place for decades. “Their so-called property rights were taken away a long time ago by the federal and state governments,� Harris said. According to meeting minutes of a May 2009 public hearing in Eureka Township, numerous residents spoke out against the rules, including Mark Parranto of Lakeville. He called the ordinance “the single largest power land grab by an unelected body that he has ever seen.� Scott County Commissioner Tom Wolf, also a Vermillion River Watershed District Joint Powers Board member, said in some cases the rules may be too restrictive and they should seek a variance. “I’m supportive of (the rule), but if someone has extions as more people use wireless phones to make emergency calls.

Tom and Marlene Majeski spent years clearing thick brush around the Vermillion River that meanders through their eastern Dakota County yard. The result is a picturesque and manicured setting that they often enjoy for walks, entertainment and recreation. But the couple is concerned about losing their property rights due to new Vermillion River watershed rules that mandate restrictive and permanent buffer zones around bodies of water. The rules are triggered if they follow through with their desire to split two acres off their 14-acre Vermillion Township property so their daughter and son-in-law can build a home there. Under the new watershed rules, a lot split would mandate a 300-foot wide buffer zone (about 150 feet on each side of the river) that permanently restricts their access to their property, similar to a conservation easement, but without compensation. The property owner also must pay numerous costs for following the mandates, including inspection and monitoring, erosion and sediment control, buffer strip landscaping in accordance with the rules, and the cost of remedying damage resulting from noncompliance with the permit or rules. With local government approval, property owners may use a 10-foot strip of land to periodically access and maintain native vegetation in the buffer zone. To clear, grade or seed the buffer area, property owners

would first need an approved Wetland Replacement Plan or an approved Stream Restoration Plan. Tom Majeski said if the buffer zone were established on his land, it would comprise about half of their 14-acre property. “I’d have to virtually abandon eight acres of my property if I let my daughter build a house,� Majeski said. “This is significantly affecting my life.� He said all the land he’s worked so hard to maintain and use would quickly return to wild, thick brush. According to Minnesota Property Rights Watch (www. mnpropertyrightswatch. org), a Farmington organization focused on the issue, rural governments in Dakota County have recently been required to adopt the new buffer standards or they would lose their permitting authority. All Dakota County townships except Eureka adopted the standards. “We’re concerned about property rights,� said Eureka Town Board Chair Brian Budenski. “We haven’t approved it because it’s too restrictive.� So far, the township has retained its permitting authority. But County Commissioner Joe Harris, a member of the Vermillion River Watershed District Joint Powers Board, said the rules are needed to protect rivers, lakes and streams. Harris credited the Majeskis for being good stewards of the land, but said if the rules are bent for some people, it will set a precedent for others

Thisweekend The band is back in town Cedar Avenue returns to Apple Valley for July 9 concert by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When it came time to name their band, Jesse Mathews and Kyle Wachter paid homage to their hometown. The Apple Valley natives named their pop-rock band Cedar Avenue after the north-south thoroughfare that runs through the city. It has more of a ring than the name Mathews gave his short-lived first band, Playing On A Thursday. “I had a dinky garage band that I sang in – we played only one show, and it was on a Thursday,� said Mathews, 26, a 2002 Eastview High School graduate who sings and plays guitar in Cedar Avenue. The Minneapolis-based band, which released its debut full-length CD “Someday Soon� late last year, is set to perform Friday, July 9, in Apple Valley as part of the summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series. The Kelley Park concert

IN BRIEF Cedar Avenue is set to perform on Friday, July 9, as part of the free, summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series hosted by the Apple Valley Arts Foundation. The Cedar Avenue concert runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in the park located at Fortino and 152nd streets near Enjoy! restaurant; opening bands are Blue Sky Canopy and Ferris. The full Music in Kelley Park schedule is at www.applevalleyarts.org. is a homecoming show of sorts for the band, which regularly performs at highprofile Twin Cities venues such as the Fine Line Music Cafe, the Varsity Theater and First Avenue. Mathews and Wachter, who plays bass, are joined in Cedar Avenue by fellow Eastview High School alumnus Shawn Burtis, a drummer Mathews met when both were members of the Eastview drumline. Rounding out the quartet is Mathews’ wife, Derrin, a California native who sings and plays keyboard in the band.

Cedar Avenue got its start shortly after Mathews enrolled at Westmont College, a Christian liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, Calif. Mathews and Wachter, who remained in Minnesota, began e-mailing audio tracks they’d created back and forth and building up a song repertoire. Things began falling into place for the group when Mathews moved back to Minnesota after college. With a bachelor’s degree in religious studies, he signed on as a youth pastor at a Northeast Minneapolis church, where he lives on

Twin Cities residential construction remains stable 341 units during the month of June, 2010. Year-to-date, permits are 62 percent higher, units are 53 percent higher, and value is 49 percent higher than at this time in 2009. “The Federal Stimulus home buyer tax credits, which expired for new contracts at the end of April, has created a degree of uncertainty in the housing market,� said Builders Association of the Twin Cities 2010 President Gary Aulik. “Did the credits stimulate buyers that otherwise wouldn’t have purchased? Did buyers who would have bought later this year move

their purchase ahead to take advantage of the credits? “While both of these are likely true, it remains to be seen by how much. And with mortgage rates remaining at all-time lows while prices have stabilized, there are still plenty of reasons for Twin Cities families to buy now,� Aulik said. Minneapolis led the metro in building activity for the month with 57 units permitted. Woodbury followed with 31 units, Maple Grove had 27 units permitted, followed by Blaine with 23 and Savage with 15.

Bucking both the historic summer housing slowdown and expectations due to the expiration of Federal tax credits for home buyers, the Twin Cities residential housing permits remained stable in June. Permits, planned units, and value showed a small increase this month over June 2009, and more permits were pulled in June 2010 than in six of the past 12 months. According to statistics compiled by the Keystone Report for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC), there were 246 permits pulled for a total of

Several animals – including a Bactrian camel calf (above) and a litter of 15 piglets (at right) – were born recently at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley and made their public debut this week. The Bactrian camel was born May 23 and initially kept off-exhibit to ensure he was healthy and gaining weight. Another new arrival this summer is a snow monkey, born on June 26.

Sports As years pass, competitive spirit never subsides by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

At the end of every varsity athletic season, the same thought crosses my mind: For many of these seniors, this could very well be the peak in their team-sportplaying careers. Sure, nearly everyone will continue participating in their sports to some degree. They will shoot hoops at the local gym and lace up their skates for a spin at a nearby rink. Some will enter the college ranks for their sport. A few may one day coach or play professionally. But in the end, competitively speaking, this is the highest level most will attain. While their lives in athletics will likely continue, that competitive edge is a hard thing to leave behind. I’ve been there. For those who still need to feed that desire, thankfully, this isn’t a new phenomenon. There are many long-established avenues to compete in city leagues, club sports, and non-varsity college sports. Somewhere along the way I chose

PRESSBOX dodgeball to fuel my competitive fire. I retreated from the ever-popular Minnesota adult pastime of softball for a less serious endeavor where you don’t have to buy things if you strike out. Every Thursday night in Lakeville during the fall and winter for the past five years, I’ve played dodgeball with six of my good friends in a league organized through the Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department. Although there’s no one else watching and no newspapers are there to cover the action, it fulfills that test of strength that can be lacking as an adult. Like any sport, dodgeball is aggressive, but the only person who can really get you down is yourself. Although it’s primarily an activity for grade school playgrounds, plenty of 20-, 30- and 40-year-old adults play every week. Appropriately, the venue that hosts our league is a middle school. The game pits two teams of six people each using only six dodgeballs. Just

in case you forgot the rule, once you are hit, you go the sidelines. If someone on your team catches a ball, you can re-enter. Although grade school had its moments, no one is trying to recapture the feeling of that playground bully. The people just want to play a game, break a sweat and talk about it afterward. As you would imagine in a sport where the object is to hit someone with a ball, players tend to use their outside voices to playfully tease each other during the flurry of action. Despite its childish roots, there is more strategy to dodgeball than one would imagine. Successful squads implement such tactics as “ball management” and they know that good catching skills can turn a game in their favor. Seasoned players also know that the closer you are to your target, the less time a foe has to dodge. While newer teams tend to argue without knowing the rules, veteran players operate on the honor system and willingly exit the game at the slightest graze of the ball. Regardless of how aggressive people

Snowboarding brothers reaching new heights

may seem, it’s never personal. If anything, these players are merely throwing the ball at the stress they have accumulated throughout the week. Everyone shakes hands at the end. Although the league is co-ed, the percentage of females is in the single digits. The ones who compete earn plenty of respect. A few members of my team were on baseball or swimming squads in college. A few other primarily play video games. Injuries throughout the season include broken fingers and worn out shoulders. Like most people, the only reason I continue to play is to be with my friends. I never remember the scores 10 minutes after the game. The memory of league championships fade very fast. While not every community recreation department offers dodgeball, there is likely a sport on their slate to fit your needs. No matter what you play, the camaraderie, fun and exercise will keep you young. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc. com.

Paul Brichta recently made the USASA Rookie Team and qualified for nationals in New Zealand.

by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The favorite method of travel for Burnsville’s Brichta family is on a snowboard, and it’s taken them all over the world. Brothers Peter and Paul Brichta have become two of the most accomplished snowboarders in their age group in the country. Paul, 18, made the United States of America Snowboard Association Rookie Team last spring and recently qualified for nationals in New Zealand in August. It’s the next step toward his goal of making the U.S. Snowboarding Team. “The rookie team is a pipeline for young athletes to progress through to the grand prix and X Games,” Paul said. “Hopefully I’ll be making it onto the U.S. team.” He spends much of his time in Steamboat, Colo., training and going to college. He graduated from high school early with hopes of taking his snowboarding to the next level. He’s been going up and down mountains for more than a decade and he has no plans to stop anytime soon. “I really like riding with friends and doing tricks,” Paul said. “I like riding with people my own ability level. Being able to have that ca-

maraderie is great.” One of his favorite riding partners is his brother Peter, 14, who attends Apple Valley High School. He’s been snowboarding since he was 8 years old and following in his brother’s grooves ever since. In early April, he finished seventh in slopestyle and eighth in the halfpipe in the 14-15 age group at the USASA Nationals in Copper Mountain, Colo. “It wasn’t my best finish but it gets harder in the upper age groups,” Peter said. “I was one of the younger guys out there this year.” He looks up to his brother Paul because he takes it really seriously. “He helps me with some tricks,” Peter said. “I see what I need to do to be accomplished like he is.” “We really relate to the same things,” Paul said. “He is really good. I help teach him; I like watching him progress.”

They both have dreams of snowboarding at the X Games and making the U.S. national team. “My goal is to make the Olympic team in four years,” Paul said. They both got their start with the G-Team at Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Bloomington. It’s not a mountain like you find in Colorado with bigger jumps and longer runs, but they can still train. The tow ropes make for a quick turnaround to try new things. This summer, Paul and Peter will train at Mount Hood, Ore., but otherwise they will spend their time wakeboarding, which is as close to snowboarding as anything else. “I hope to play a lot of golf with my dad and brother and some basketball with my friends,” Paul said.

South passing team heading to Florida for national tourney by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

While the fall football season is far from most people’s minds, for Lakeville South it’s front and center. Lakeville South won the Minnesota Vikings 7-on7, touch-football passing tournament on June 12. Lakeville South beat Minnetonka in triple overtime to advance to the July 9-11 nationals tournament in Tampa, Fla., where the team will compete against representatives from the other NFL franchises. Lakeville South won the tournament last year as well, and nationals was held in Minneapolis. Following a group of round-robin games

against other NFC teams, Lakeville South seeded for playoffs, which go all the way to a Super Bowl. The tournament will feature some of the best football players in the country. “A lot of the teams are all-star teams from their area,” varsity coach Larry Thompson said. “We even played some all-star teams in Minnesota like Rochester and Brainerd.” Last year eight of the 12 players representing Washington had signed on to play Division I. But Thompson says the fact that all his players are from the same school and play in the same system helps. Lakeville South went

5-4 at the national tournament last year, so he knows they can compete. It’s different than the 11-on-11 tackle football played during the fall. This format features a quarterback and receivers going up against a secondary. They have four downs to go 20 yards on a 40-yard field. A touchdown gives the team seven points, and an interception three. The quarterback doesn’t have to deal with a rush, but he has four seconds to throw. “I think the nice thing about it is you work on the passing,” Thompson said. “Defense and secondary works on covering the pass. “It’s not as realistic. There’s no rush, but every-

thing else has been beneficial.” The only thing Thompson is nervous about is that it’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit here in Minnesota, while in Florida it could be 110 degrees and humid. “We talked to our trainer to figure out some special hydration techniques,” Thompson said. “The thing is that teams from Miami, Jacksonville and Carolina are used to it.” Playing football isn’t the only thing Lakeville South players will do. At night the players are divided up into groups to participate in games and roleplaying exercises about making positive decisions in life. “They meet a lot of

different people from all over,” Thompson said. Last year, when the Vikings hosted the national tournament, star offensive guard Steve Hutchinson gave a talk to the players about recruiting. Other team members like Adrian Peterson along with owner Ziggy Wilf and coach Brad Childress made appearances throughout the tournament. This year the players can expect similar sightings from Tampa Bay Buccaneers players and staff. The South team features seven incoming seniors and five incoming juniors. Players were chosen based on the depth chart for the varsity team, though

Thompson stressed that it’s preseason. Thompson raved about the play of incoming junior quarterback Mitch Leidner. He has Matt Heller, DJ Hillier, Adam Ruhl, Caleb Seger and Devon Bzoskieto to throw to. Trent Bertamus plays both defense and offense. He joins Ethan Miller, Matt Mehlhorn, Donny Mattia, Matt Zellmer and Alex Continenza on defense. “We have some pretty good receivers and the defense is doing a pretty good job. They’re getting better,” Thompson said. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
