UMore wind energy forum draws a crowd Some residents critical of University of Minnesota’s plans THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

University of Minnesota officials touted plans for a research wind project, gravel pit and housing development at UMore Park while some Rosemount residents cited concerns at a July 29 forum. With a $7.9 million federal grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, U of M officials are planning to build a 2.3 megawatt Siemens turbine, joining with industry specialists to conduct extensive research projects. The 80-acre experimental research facility, to be located on the eastern edge of the park’s 5,000 acres, will be unique in the nation.

Through the research, the university’s goal is to find ways to make the amount of electricity generated by wind in the United States increase from 2 percent to 20 percent by 2030. Studies will include experiments to improve and reduce the costs of wind turbine technologies while developing more efficient operations. The project will involve a collaboration of business, government, education and researchers and is intended to spur economic development in the Rosemount area, said U of M Electrical Engineering Department Head Dr. Mostafa Kaveh. “This is really a project that is going to be integrat-

ed into the community ‌ its ramifications are very direct and immediate,� Kaveh said. He added that additional funding will be needed, and will be sought from other sources, public and private. While the forum was focused on the research project and the draw it could be for businesses, the university’s plans to mine gravel for decades and eventually introduce a private developer to create a sustainable community was also discussed. Some Rosemount residents, neighbors to the mining operation, wind turbine and sustainable community, questioned aspects of the project and the affect it Photo by Laura Adelmann would have on their homes, Dakota County Commissioners Tom Egan and Will Branning discuss UMore Park plans lives and property. with a resident at the University of Minnesota’s July 29 community forum regarding the mining, wind research and housing plans for the Rosemount area property.

Six candidates vie for two Rosemount City Council seats

Council likely to forward plans to redevelop commercial area

Voters to narrow candidate choices for Nov. 2 general election by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount voters will narrow the city council race from six to four candidates in the primary Aug. 10. Running against incumbents Mark DeBettignies and Kim Shoe-Corrigan are Maila Ellefson, Tim Judy, Joe Kurle, and Dennis Winsor. Mark DeBettignies DeBettignies, a business manager and 26-year Rosemount resident, said his top priorities include public safety and marketing for commercial and industrial development in Rosemount. In addition, he said maintaining city services while holding the line on taxes, land use, future development plans for UMore, and transportation are key issues. “I not only have experience but also the passion to give back to this community to make sure that it retains its rich past but also understanding that development will occur. It then becomes

even more important to me that this development happens in a proper manner,� DeBettignies said. A city council member since 2002 and former planning commissioner, DeBettignies has served on numerous government task forces and in leadership roles with the Junior Chamber International. DeBettignies counts balancing the budget and reducing the city’s tax burden on residents among the council’s top accomplishments. Kim Shoe-Corrigan Shoe-Corrigan, a city council member since 2002, is an Eagan High School Social Studies teacher, who also served seven years on the city’s Planning Commission. She said her priorities on the council are working on budget issues and future plans for the UMore property. In addition, she cited the board’s focus on exploring partnerships to build ad-

The Rosemount City Council was expected to approve a funding application Wednesday to continue plans to redevelop an area considered the southern gateway into the city. The 210-acre site, bound on both sides of South Robert Trail, between County Roads 42 and 46 with the Union Pacific rail line on the east, Chilli Court to the south, is home to many commercial buildings determined to have outlived their usefulness. Many of the buildings are over 25 years old, according to the city’s application, which seeks $23,500 from the Metropolitan Council’s Livable Communities funding to create a redevelopment plan for the 48-parcel area. The city has been working with businesses, developers and landowners for the last several years to plan redevel-

ROSEMOUNT opment of the area. Affected businesses include staples like Carlson Tractor, while the southern half includes a mix of farm fields, a former village dump, a car repair business and a natural gas storage facility. If funding is approved, the plan will evaluate what businesses and uses are suitable to remain in the north half of the project area and create a redevelopment strategy for other parcels and buildings. According to the city’s application, the plan will also evaluate the best and highest development scenario for the south half along with addressing brownfield clean up and redevelopment. City goals for the plan are to add an important tax base while providing additional jobs for residents. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Two area residents are battling each other for the right to run against a formidable foe, U.S. Rep. John Kline, in November’s election.

Summer physicals cut in 196 Seniors by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The cut will provide the district with an annual savings of $8,300, said finance director Jeff Solomon. This is small when compared to the $300 million budget of the 29,000-student school district, but when it comes to fiscal management, every little bit counts. The district charged $20 for the physicals, which are required for those students interested in becoming athletes. Regardless of the program cut, Schleisman said, the physicals are still required. In addition to this cut, Schleisman also cut an under-utilized ninth grade vision screening program and a two-hour clerical position. The latter, Schleisman said, because it will leave one nurse with more than 2,000 students without support. In spite of this, Schleisman said she has never felt slighted by the administration. “I’ve never felt like a lone ranger being a nurse,� she said. “We’re lucky in our district to have an amicable relationship with all administration.�

Those student athletes who need physicals are going to have to look outside the school this year. Summer physical exam clinics are among the programs cut as part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district’s $15 million in budget cuts and adjustments for the 2010-2011 school year. Competition from retail clinic stores such as Minute Clinic and Target and from private practices has led to decreased use of the school service, said district nursing coordinator Jane Schleisman. “We were a duplication of services,� she said, adding that “a lot of clinics advertise for sports physicals.� As a result, the program has lost money the past three years, she said. So when district administrators and the school board asked Schleisman to make some program cuts, the summer screenings were high on the list. “I looked for things (to cut) that didn’t affect the integrity of the school-year programs,� Aaron Vehling is at aaron. vehling@ecm-inc.com. she said.

Madore said her campaign emphasis on infrastructure is resonating with people. “I’ve been very focused on presenting the voters my plan to beat John Kline. Where we are with regards to beating Dan Powers, I don’t know. It’s unfortunate that he’s just kind of hiding behind marching in parades.� Said Powers, “We’ll talk about the infrastructure needs in the district. I think there’s a lot we can do in Congress on the federal side. Shelly really hasn’t been around doing anything since April 10. All of a sudden she jumps in with this 35 Cent Tour in the last week and a half.� Madore said Powers has ducked her chal-

I have over 240 people who have donated,� more than Powers, she said. Powers said the hard work he did to win convention delegates has continued in the primary race. “I’m doing these little town-hall meetings,� he said. “I’ve had over 40. I believe the number of parades now is over 25.� In coordination with the state party, his campaign has made “thousands and thousands of door-knocks and phone calls,� Powers said. “I think experience is the thing that separates us immensely,� said Madore, who won her state legislative seat in 2006 and was defeated in her first reelection bid by Republican Tara Mack. “It’s not just a little bit, it’s a lot.� Madore said that on July 1 she kicked off her “35 Cent Tour,� a shot at

Kline for his stand against seeking congressional earmarks for his district. Madore claims that for every federal tax dollar paid in the 2nd District, only 35 cents is spent here. Both DFLers oppose Kline’s no-earmark stance. Madore said she’s been visiting projects in counties across the district “that have been stalled because of a lack of federal funding from John Kline.� Powers said he’s been emphasizing energy independence on the campaign trail and that Madore has been “absent on this issue.� Energy independence offers “so many different areas we can work on for jobs,� Powers said.

Residents with private wells for drinking water can have their water tested for nitrate for free during the Dakota County Fair. Nitrate is the most common source of groundwater contamination. Testing will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11, and Thursday, Aug. 12, in the Horticulture and Foods Building and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, in the 4-H Building. Test results will be available in minutes. Water samples may also be dropped off at the Horticulture and Foods Building anytime during building hours, Monday, Aug. 9, through Sunday, Aug. 15.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Let Dakota County Fair win you over this year by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

This week Dakota County Fair will sell passports to fun welcoming the public to come out and play. I say the county fair is the perfect ending to summer and a chance to check out the best of the best in local competitions. Veteran, loyal fairgoers know why they return to the fair each year, but I want to appeal to those of you who have not attended the Dakota County Fair. You know who you are. My love for Dakota County Fair stems from my family tradition of growing up loving the Iowa State Fair. I can just hear all the folksy Iowa jokes, and that’s okay. I am ready to defend my love for the fair. My parents both grew up on Iowa farms in small towns. I loved hearing stories about farm life and how each summer ended with the county fair, where everyone gathered to celebrate the best of

the best. I remember my cousins from a Mount Ayr farm would mail us newspaper clippings from the fair 4-H competitions that showed them smiling as they stood next to a horse or cow, usually holding a blue or red ribbon. This was the ultimate in cool for me growing up in Des Moines with only a corn field growing at the top of a hill in my back yard. My excitement and envy was not about the fair ribbons, but the adventure in caring for your own farm animal. As a youngster the fair was about carnival rides – the double Ferris wheel, the tunnel of love ride and the huge skyscraper slide. As an adolescent, the fair was about meeting my friends and attending live rock concerts. My dad was the most loyal fairgoer who never missed an Iowa State Fair. He attended nearly every day in the last few years of his life, wearing his large straw hat to keep the sun off his face and away

from his bald head as he walked with a fanny pack and an icy water bottle. My dad loved the photography in the arts building since that was his hobby. He also liked to investigate the varied industries building where he queried inventors and local business people about their line of work. When my dad passed away two years ago, my sister and I dedicated a permanent memorial in honor of my dad’s love for the Iowa State Fair. Today a black granite memorial stone sits prominently in a brick walkway leading up to the grandstand ticket office, engraved with the words: “Roger Smith loved the fair. Watch over us at the fair. Your family and friends love and miss you.” Carrying on the love of the fair to a new generation, my son loves the Dakota County Fair. He won two ribbons last year in the original Lego creation 4-H exhibit, and this year he is hard at work to top last year. He is also contemplating entering his home-

grown vegetables from his garden plot at Dakota Kids junior master gardening camp. Seven years ago we bought a house in Farmington because of its close proximity to the fairgrounds, and now each summer our family gets our “fair fix” at Dakota County Fair. We admit there is no desire to venture out to the Minnesota State Fair. Like my dad, I like the arts building and each year I am amazed at the diverse talent in photography, fine art, painting, pottery and quilting. Like my dad, I take my time to study each color and black-and-white photograph on display to see why it is appealing and why I want to return for a closer look. I look forward to visiting the 4-H building and seeing the woodworking, sewing, gardening and even homemade pie and salsa recipe entries. Horses, cows, sheep and pigs take center stage in the 4-H barns. Stories of how each animal is worthy to show at the fair are posted

with details of how each animal was cared for by a young boy or girl. I anticipate drinking the refreshing iced cup of lemonade made at Dakota City. The lemonade, made with homemade sweet sugar syrup, fresh lemons and lots of ice, is popular and sells well. This year I look forward to photographing the fair for the newspaper while looking for a good story waiting to be told. I anticipate family fair day when my family heads out to the fair to seek fun, frivolity and adventure. I challenge any fair skeptic to visit this year’s Dakota County Fair, which runs from Aug. 9-15, and let the fair win you over with the best in show of ingenuity, creativity and hard work.

Letters Masin has not drafted, passed many bills

is the Republican candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 38A.

To the editor: I am responding to inaccurate claims in a letter to the editor by Avi Meshar. My House District 38A opponent Sandra Masin has not personally drafted and passed very many bills. In 2008, Minnesota Public Radio rated all of the state legislators on how much legislation they worked on. Masin was the least effective legislator – she was last on the list with a score of 2. What legislation has she researched and offered herself ? I have more experience with drafting and passing legislation than my opponent. I have been a citizen advocate at the Capitol for 21 years, and Masin has been a legislator for four years. I have spent numerous hours at the Capitol as a volunteer, and I have never been paid. I have been a member of a Supreme Court task force and involved with several state task forces. I have worked with many people to get bills passed. I am currently with the Cooperative Parenting Coalition. I have worked on three major legislative issues that took several years to pass and numerous smaller bills and amendments. I helped draft and get passed the Visitation bill, the Cooperative Parenting bill, and the Income Shares Child Support Guidelines bill. I worked with people who had different interests and got the legislation passed.

To the editor: The 2010 campaign season is officially underway. In the months ahead, candidates for office will be sharing their ideas about how best to deal with the challenges facing Minnesota and asking you to make decisions that will affect the future of our state. Constructive dialogue about different approaches between the people who wish to represent you is a positive thing. It represents the sort of civic engagement for which Minnesota stands out among other states. What is not so positive is the negative campaigning and intrusion by outside parties into local races that has become all too common in recent years. Already, outside groups are engaged in negative campaign tactics that will distort my record and mischaracterize my votes. Just last week, a special interest group attacked me for my efforts to keep high quality teachers in our classrooms. Let me be clear – I support high standards for teachers, and thorough and thoughtful methods of assessing quality teaching. But the changes proposed this year could have opened the door to thousands of undertrained teachers coming into our classrooms at a time when thousands of highly qualified and well trained teachers – including DIANE ANDERSON more than 100 right here Eagan in District 196 – are losEditor’s note: The writer ing their jobs due to school

budget cuts. The proposal I disagreed with did nothing to help our local schools. To suggest otherwise is pure fiction. The message I hear every day is that you want an end to the partisanship that blocks progress. While some may try to cloud the issues or distort important debates that take place at the Capitol, my simple request to you is this: As we move through the election season, don’t be swayed by high-dollar special interests or negative rhetoric. Instead, please contact me directly with any questions you may have. My votes represent my commitment to stand with the citizens of Apple Valley and Rosemount. I will continue working hard to represent you. And as I’ve done since you sent me to work for you, I’ll keep working with all parties to do what’s best for our community. PHILLIP STERNER State representative, District 37B

More Minnesota losers in DFL race To the editor: How about some objective reporting and thinking, ECM Editorial Board? The DFL gubernatorial primary field consists of one of the five worst senators ever to appear in Washington, the husband of a lady who worked at the company involved in one of Minnesota’s biggest health care scandals and a farm girl who would subsidize everything in sight. Minnesota’s low unemployment rate has never been the product of DFL “nanny state” thinking but is anchored by its “captains

of industry” and their productive staffs, plus independent counselors ready and able to make winners out of losers. I am very acquainted with John Gunyou’s work and philosophy, and he doesn’t come close to filling the bill. Minnesota doesn’t attract top people, electing Karl Rolvaag over Elmer L. Andersen and Al Franken over Norm Coleman, and sending long lists of 4-Fs and incapables to Congress and the Senate. Walter Mondale fit both categories neatly. He ran for president against a B-movie actor and was demolished. Many people that I meet from other parts of the country wonder where our thinking caps are. FRANKLIN M. WICKER Lakeville

Emmer, Dayton, alcohol, drugs To the editor: The Alliance for a Better Minnesota felt it was so necessary to bring up Tom Emmer’s DWI arrests, all of which occurred almost 20 or more years ago, and his supposed support for more leniency in regard to the problem, that it spent $500,000 on attack ads. To be fair, Mark Dayton’s admitted drug and alcohol problems should also be brought up in this campaign, some of which occurred as recently as 2006 while he was still a senator. How do we know Dayton won’t relapse again? Will he push for leniency and legalization of certain street drugs? How can we be assured that a candidate with this baggage will really make “for a Better Minnesota”? All fair questions if you’re going to go negative like this. I ran into Tom Emmer before the Leprechaun Days parade today and shared my frustrations with these negative ads. He said he will keep it positive. Good for you, Tom! You’re a better man than I.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

furniture store owns the mall in which the restaurant will lease space. Olson said the restaurant is a buffet-style family restaurant that doesn’t serve alcohol. Meanwhile, Paradise Pizza will be located at 20731 Holyoke Ave. and is a family restaurant featuring gourmet pizza and grill food with a tropical atmosphere. Owner Tim Falkenberg owns another location in Savage and is expanding in Lakeville. Olson said the restaurant will offer a small dining area but will be more of a take-out pizza restaurant. Falkenberg didn’t immediately return phone calls seeking comment. Downtown Lakeville Business Association director Judy Tschumper said Paradise Pizza will be a welcome addition to downtown when it opens before fall. Goodfellas Pizza Bar and Grill, located at 20643 Kenrick Ave., opened last fall. Like Ole Piper, located at 16604 Cedar Ave., Goodfellas sells alcohol for its patrons, Olson said. “All of these places — they’re all different,� Olson said. “And that’s good for the community.�

Lakeville is home to the ubiquitous chain restaurants that offer delivery, but until last fall, the Ole Piper Inn was one of the only family restaurants offering unique pizza choices. But by October, pizza lovers will have plenty of choices. Goodfellas Pizza Bar and Grill opened along Kenrick Avenue near County Road 70 last fall, adding one new pizza option to the mix. By October, Pizza Ranch will occupy a space in the HOM Furniture-anchored strip mall along Interstate 35, and Paradise Pizza and Grill will open in the space once filled by Kazolly’s Sweetshop in downtown Lakeville. “They’re all kind of different,� said Dave Olson, Lakeville’s community and economic development director. “They all have their own niche.� Pizza Ranch is an Iowabased chain that has restaurants in nine other states. During the Aug. 2 City Council meeting, city planner Daryl Morey said the restaurant will be open in the fall. Pizza Ranch will take over two storefronts in the strip mall adjacent to HOM Furniture. HOM agreed to provide E-mail Derrick Williams at: parking in its lot for Pizza lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com Ranch, in part because the

Letter/from 6A

Taxes are a necessary evil, but are necessary to fund a limited government. The emphasis is on limited. Finally, we the people need to acknowledge that terrorism, by whatever name, cannot be tolerated, prevailing political correctness notwithstanding. Make no mistake, any incursion – no matter how insignificant it might appear – will have huge consequences. Finally it is hoped that everybody inclined to be gullible will reflect on what is in plain sight at the time we must decide at the voting booth. Do we want a government that will truly respect and abide by the Constitution or will we be swayed by promises of handouts?

for these illegals. Our Constitution is trampled upon with impunity by government officials sworn to uphold the Constitution. Another point: We the people are bombarded with the assertion that more taxes will create more jobs. Logic, and experience, tell us that government spends our money, but is never actually able to create wealth except perhaps for government functionaries. Anybody in their right mind, and with integrity, knows that jobs encouraged by limited taxes are the only source of economic health. Creating a fertile environment for business is the beginning of prosperity. People with jobs pay taxes. Reducing the tax rate causes H.B. JANDEWERTH these people to spend more Eagan of their money.

August 6, 2010 THISWEEK

UMore/from 1A Leslie Green, whose back yard butts up to the proposed gravel operation, said she and her neighbors are concerned about the noise, dust, truck traffic, lighting, safety and flicker affects (of the turbine’s movements) the turbine could have on their properties, especially when combined with planned around-the-clock gravel operations. UMore Park Executive Team Chair Dr. Charles Muscoplat said that mining operations would be located more than a mile from residences, and most of the mining will take place below grade, which would reduce its affects. During the meeting, John Wachtler, design engineer at Barr Engineering, said problems with shadow flickers are usually a problem for homes located less than one-half mile from turbines. “We don’t expect flicker to be a problem because of distance,� Wachtler said. Muscoplat added that buffers between the property and homes will include 1,000 feet of corn and soybeans, a thick row of trees and a deep berm. Green also questioned plans to destroy good agricultural land by mining, and said the plans lack local citizen involvement. “When did the U of M get elected to the city council and planning commission? I don’t remember voting for these people,� Green said. In a June work session,

Council/from 1A including in her church, as president of a women’s group and as a preschool head teacher. “I believe in keeping up with people and being a good listener. I want to know about the concerns people have,� Ellefson said. Top issues Ellefson said she’d like to tackle include development of the UMore property, train crossing safety and noise issues, and growing business development in the city. Ellefson is a member of the Rosemount Area Arts Council, graduated from the city’s seven-week police academy and has worked to pass new laws restricting offender contact with victims of domestic violence. “Basically, I’m all about getting involved in the community,� Ellefson said. Tim Judy Judy said he has been involved in local issues for years, attending Rosemount City Council meetings and meeting with city staff. He added that he testified in defense of private property rights and opposed the city’s use of eminent domain against Rosemount businesses at the 2006 Minnesota House of Representatives Local Government Committee session in Apple Valley.

The University of Minnesota’s July 29 Wind Energy Forum drew a crowd to the Rosemount Community Center, where they listened to presentations about the project and future plans. Rosemount City Council members and city staff also balked at the university’s plans to build ancillary facilities including an aggregate processing operation, an office, a recycling yard, an asphalt plant, a concrete plant, a bag plant, a maintenance facility and a casting yard. During that meeting, Council Member Jeff Weisensel said if the activities don’t take place in Rosemount, the university will simply move them across the street to Empire Township, where the city has no jurisdiction. Wednesday night, after this issue went to press, the city council was to consider forwarding a 10page list of concerns and questions in response to the university’s Environmental Impact Statement for the university’s gravel mining plans. In an interview Tuesday, Rosemount Senior Planner Eric Zweber said that while the university is expected to respond in

writing to the city’s concerns, the city will rely on its ordinance and permitting authority to influence the university’s gravel mining and development plans. He said city code doesn’t currently allow mining in the area or at the scale proposed. “Regardless of how the university addresses the city’s comments (on the EIS), we have ultimate control on regulating the mining operation,� Zweber wrote to council members in the Aug. 4 board packet. He said regulations are anticipated to include restriction on hours, truck access, dust and noise control measures. While the city has no jurisdiction over the turbine, it will require multiple public hearings and take citizen input as the process continues, Zweber said.

“I have a strong desire to return the voice of regular citizens to City Hall,� Judy said, adding that he has strong concerns about property rights. If elected, Judy said his goal is to create a city council whose mission is to work for Rosemount’s citizens. “By making just and humane decisions, citizen welfare will be at the forefront. I pledge to respect the personal rights and the private property rights of Rosemount citizens. There are ways to lessen taxpayer burden – elect me to analyze and sort out finances,� he said. Joe Kurle Kurle, owner of a residential drafting and design business, said he is passionate about government working efficiently for people. Top issues he cites include making sure UMore Park is developed with Rosemount residents in mind, providing senior housing, growing jobs in the city, managing the city budget and keeping Rosemount’s hometown feeling. Kurle said he understands the building industry, which plays a large role in the economy. He also communicates with a variety of people and is used to working within a budget. “The knowledge and skills of running a small

business will come in useful as the city tries to find ways to promote businesses to move and stay here in Rosemount,â€? Kurle said on his website. Kurle’s website has a section focused on his personality and morals, in which he discusses his refusal to take bribes or accept cash for work without reporting it to the government. Dennis Winsor Winsor, president of ProAct Resources in Eagan, 30-year business owner and 12-year Rosemount resident, cites his budgeting experience and making tough choices as important for handling city finances. He said he has worked with the city and state to correct improper speed limits posted in Rosemount, and was involved in the city’s meetings regarding eminent domain. Priorities he cited include controlling costs and reducing the city’s budget while maintaining Rosemount’s quality of life. Winsor said he has had many people ask him to run for office during the last several elections. “My intent is to set a standard of governance by which we move towards a government body that is more accountable to the people who elected them. We do this by listening to the people, reducing the budget in order to get the taxes as low as possible. In essence, we need to do right by the people that we serve,â€? Winsor said. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 10.

Teammate Dan Gilbertson was instrumental in getting the proposal cleared with the city. There was no cost to the city as 100 percent of the work and materials was donated. “It’s been tough since he left us,” Tom Miklya said. “Baseball was his passion. His second family was with the Bulldogs. He always looked forward to getting together with the players. “They’re a bunch of diehards who love to play the game.” The Bulldogs play in the North Star Classic Baseball League and won the 2009 championship. The players rage in age from 36 to 70 and they come from all over the south metro. “When I was younger I used to sneak into the dugout and put on a hat and pretend I was part of the

team,” Corky’s son, Kyle, said during the post-game celebration Sunday. Baseball often took a backseat to what really matters. “It’s doesn’t always have to be about the game,” Kyle said. “Sometimes they would come here just to catch up with each other.” Kyle and his sister, Lindsey, still interact with members of the Bulldogs. Team members will text Kyle during the school year to make sure he’s staying on task. Bulldog member John Rausch got Kyle a job with the city for the summers. “They’re like our crazy uncles,” Lindsey said. Players come from all walks of life. There’s a chief financial officer, a retired Burnsville police officer, a pharmacist, Burnsville city worker among others. The common bond is baseball and it’s strong enough to

hold together a family. They get together in the offseason for Christmas and other regular family events like births, weddings and, unfortunately, funerals. Raucsh, the 69-yard year old Bulldog pitcher, was one of the players who spoke at Corky’s service. “He was like a little brother to me,” Rausch said. “He was the guy the team could pick on and he would always take it in stride. He was the guy who cared about everyone before himself.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Eagan legion baseball continues thrilling season by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan Patriots American Legion baseball team wasn’t the favorite to even be at the state tournament last weekend. The team had the No. 8 seed in the Third District tournament in mid July, but finished as the second runner-up with a ticket to the American Legion District I state tournament last weekend as the lowest-ranked team still playing. Some teams would be happy with that, but Eagan had bigger things in mind. First, the team put the

rankings and seedings out of their minds. “They’re confident of their ability,” head coach Kevin Nagel said. “They were rated high in high school and they started the legion season ranked pretty high. They say they don’t look at the polls. I think they felt they should have been ranked higher and should have had a better record during the season.” The Patriots were the runner-up at the state tournament by beating teams such as Excelsior and Eastview along the way. “We hit the ball well and played good defense,” Nagel

said. “The only hiccup we ran into was Eden Prairie twice.” After losing to Eden Prairie once, Eagan had to come through the losers’ bracket and win five games to advance. The second-place finish gave Eagan the right to play in the Great Lakes Regional in Matoon, Ill., from Thursday to Monday. It’s the first regional berth in team history. “It’s exciting,” Nagel said. “They didn’t celebrate like I thought they would. To be honest the kids were exhausted.”

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For the Burnsville Bulldogs baseball team, the terms “team” and “family” are synonymous. So when one of their families needed some support, the team stepped up to the plate. Teammate Glen “Corky” Miklya’s sudden death in December at age 52 left a Corky-sized hole in center field and at the Miklya family picnic table. There’s no way anything could ever replace what Miklya brought to the Bulldogs and to his family, but they have made sure no one will ever forget him. A memorial was built at Alimagnet Field where Corky spent much of his time in the dugout and behind a grill. The Bulldogs were host to a fan and family appreciation night on Sunday during a game against Miesville. They officially unveiled a brick and granite memorial for Miklya, who played for the 35-and-older baseball team for 17 years. The memorial is strategically placed where grills usually go for concessions and post-game cookouts as Corky was considered the grill master to all who knew him. The top of the memorial can serve as a place to put the grill creations along with all the food other family members brought to share. His brothers, Tom and Rodney Miklya, did the brick work and the Bull-

They’re excited now after a few days of rest. The team left for Illinois at 3 a.m. on Wednesday. “They’re all psyched,” Nagel said. Eagan went 5-2 at the state tournament. The team secured a spot at a regional tournament with a 14-8 win against Excelsior in the semifinals. Eagan jumped out to a 7-1 lead, but Excelsior closed to gap to 7-6 a few innings later. Eagan put up six more runs in the seventh inning thanks to home runs by Zack Zenner and Garrison Harris. Neal Kunik continued his undefeated streak

I asked last week what readers though of dance teams’ coverage and whether it belongs on the sports page. The answers ranged from the deeply offended to the rather informative. Some said, “No, it’s not a sport” and some said, “It’s the most important sport.” Most admitted it was not a traditional sport, but deserved coverage regardless. Some even threatened me with trying out for dance team. One common theme was that dance line participants are athletic and spend hours every day perfecting their routines. It takes a lot of passion and physical work to pull it off. For some reason, people took the column as a slight against the effort and dedication dance team members endure, even though I wrote about how much I respect their dedication and effort. At Thisweek, our goal is to provide information you can’t get any where else, and the sports section isn’t just for fans. Every year after the state tournament, we print dozens of pictures and put more than 100 online. And you’ll see it again. Where to put dance team is one of the earliest controversies I ever dealt with since working at a college newspaper in the late 1990s.

North Babe Ruth second at regionals The Lakeville North Senior Babe Ruth baseball team placed second in the Midwest Plains Regional Babe Ruth Tournament in Wellington, Kan., from July 23 to 27. They earned a berth in this tournament by beating Eastview in the Minnesota State Senior Babe Ruth tournament July 18 in Eden Prairie. After going 3-0 in the Regional tournament, the team lost two hard-fought games in the finals to Ottumwa, Iowa. Lakeville North finished as one of the final 16 teams in the nation.

Silver Cycling is back at a new location. Among the cornfields in southern Dakota County on July 29, Silver Cycling sponsored an 8.2 mile Farmdog time trial bike race. The course was a “T” configuration starting at the Eureka Town Hall. The raced featured men and women from 12 to 66 years old. The team has run these types of races for the past decade but changed the location to Eureka Township. Over the past 10 years the team used Black Dog Road in Burnsville, which has since been closed because of flooding in the spring. The new venue is farther south, but the team’s first race attracted about 80 individuals. The final two time trials will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 and 25. They normally do nine races every other week during the summer starting in May. “It’s grown each year,” Silver Cycle’s Steven Knowlton said. “There’s a lot of triathletes who use it to guage their progress.” Silver Cycling is a team out of Lakeville that holds group biking trips all summer along with the races. “People come from all over the south metro,” Knowlton said. “Some people even come down from the

Interested racers can buy one-day license to give it a try on site near the registration tent. The race format is similar to a cross country ski race. One biker leaves every 30 seconds and receives a final time. There are separate divi-

Miracle League on track to play ball in September Children with special needs will have baseball league, field of their own in Lakeville by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Organizers for the South Metro Miracle League, a Lakeville-based baseball program for children with disabilities, said they have the money to start construction on their new field after four years of fundraising. Brian Roseen, who organizes the Miracle League project for the Lakeville Baseball Association, said they’re ready to break ground at King Park in Lakeville. “It’s exciting. There’s a need — I know there’s a huge need — and it’s exciting to finally be here, ready to move dirt,� Roseen said. On Sunday, Sept. 12, Roseen said the league will take a huge step. Not only will ground be broken on the new field during a ceremony, but the league will kick off and hold its first games that day. “The fall league will be free to players and it’ll allow us to raise awareness across the south metro that the league is ready,� Roseen said. The Miracle Field will be built at King Park, located at Dodd Road and 185th Street, on one of the eight existing fields which the Lakeville City Council donated to the Miracle League in 2006. And while ground breaking is set to begin, fundraising is still ongoing. Roseen said they have roughly half of the $400,000 needed to con-

struct the Miracle Field, but have enough to get the field up and running before next spring’s league begins. Miracle Fields are different than a regular baseball fields because they’re designed with a cushioned, rubberized surface, wheelchair access to the field and dugouts, and a flat, barrier free surface to help visually impaired players or players in wheelchairs. With fundraising efforts ongoing, M&I Bank and Lakeville’s Parks and Recreation Department are teaming up for Movies in the Park on Saturday, Aug. 14, with proceeds going to the Miracle League. Andrea Novak, a regional marketing manager with M&I Bank, said the event, held at North Park, located at 17100 Ipava Ave., will begin around 7 p.m. with free activities and games for children and families. At dusk, Novak said they’ll show Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. “We do the event as an opportunity to give back to the community,� Novak said. “And we try to team with non-profits, and the Miracle League is such a great cause.� Novak said people should bring blankets and lawn chairs for the movie, and concessions will be sold during the event. Roseen said the South Metro Miracle League has roughly $150,000 in hand with another $55,000 of in-kind donations, but

$200,000 is still needed for bleachers and other parts of the project. “So many people want this to happen,� he said. “Like M&I Bank and all of the other donors to the project.� Roseen said he became interested in the project four years ago when he and his 13-year-old son were playing catch at QuigleySime Park in Lakeville. While playing, a young boy in a wheelchair rolled up to their field. “We tried to find a way for him to play with us,� Roseen said. “The field, though, just wasn’t made for it. My son said, ‘That’s not fair.’ I agreed.� That experience prompted Roseen, who was already active with the Lakeville Baseball Association, to begin searching for information about baseball fields for children with disabilities. He soon stumbled upon the Miracle League of Minnesota, a nonprofit group providing opportunities for children with disabilities ages 3 to 19 to play baseball. “It’s something all kids can do,� he said. “Everyone is welcome.� Roseen said any child with special needs is welcome to play.
