Three Rosemount brothers all attain Eagle Scout rank

Bomb squad responds to report of suspicious items

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

News that three Rosemount brothers have all attained the rank of Eagle Scout left some Cub Scouts in awe the other day. On Oct. 24, Dane Raberge, 18, will be recognized as an Eagle Scout, the Boy Scout organization’s highest rank, joining his brothers Chase and Weston Raberge in achieving the honor. The Cub Scout boys, who were selling popcorn outside a local store for their scout pack, were impressed to learn of the brothers’ achievements because of the effort and dedication that goes into attaining Eagle. To qualify, scouts must first earn at least 21 merit badges, participate in scoutmaster conferences to set and evaluate individual achievement goals, and lead a major service project. According to the National Eagle Scout Association, only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts attain the Eagle Scout rank. For his Eagle Scout project, Dane, a Rosemount High School senior, managed a remodeling project of a Sunday school classroom at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. He organized volunteers, obtained materials and led the effort to paint the room’s walls and remove and replace carpeting and ceiling tiles. In 2005, Dane’s oldest brother Chase Raberge, now 23, managed a landscaping project for his Eagle badge. And in 2008 the middle brother, Weston Raberge, now 21, built and installed all the racks of coat hooks at Paideia Academy, a charter school in Apple Valley. Parents of the young men are Todd and Kim Raberge of Rosemount.

Brothers Weston (left), Dane and Chase Raberge of Rosemount have all attained the rank of Eagle Scout. “It’s just a huge sense of pride it gives you that all three managed to accomplish the Eagle,� Kim said. She added that Dane plans to become a second-grade teacher, inspired by his second-grade teacher, Kay Shaw, who still teaches at Shannon Park Elementary where Dane attended. Chase owns his own townhome in Rosemount and is a volunteer police reserve officer for the city. He was just laid off from his job as a security guard and is looking for employment. Weston wants to become a police officer and has joined the Air Force. He

is working part-time as an emergency medical technician for the city of Cottage Grove, and leaves to begin his service Nov. 29. Dane will be awarded the Eagle Scout rank at 2 p.m. on Oct. 24 during a Court of Honor ceremony at the Rosemount American Legion. The boys’ scoutmasters are expected to attend, and Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste has been invited; the public is welcome. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Several plastic Easter eggs, initially thought to have been converted into explosive devices, were found in a field in Apple Valley last week, prompting a response from a police bomb-squad unit. An entomologist searching for soybean aphids in the field on Upper 147th Street near Europa Avenue Oct. 6 came across the plastic eggs, which had been sealed with tape. “He pulled one apart and found what he thought was some shot and a couple wires,� said Apple Valley Police Capt. Jon Rechtzigel. An Apple Valley patrol officer responded to the scene around 11:15 a.m., and the Bloomington Police Department’s bomb squad was called out as a precautionary measure. The bomb squad used a robot to blast the plastic eggs with a directed stream of water and thus break them open. It soon became clear that “there really wasn’t a threat to anybody,� Rechtzigel said. Inside the eggs, police found soybeans, plastic BBs and, in one egg, a spent firecracker. “It looked like some kids rigged these up, probably for playing war games or something,� Rechtzigel said. Police have retained the soybean- and pellet-filled plastic eggs as evidence, but don’t plan to devote any additional resources to an investigation. Rechtzigel said the decision to call in the bomb squad was the right move. “You never can be 100 percent certain, so you want to play it safe and do the right thing,� he said.

Rosemount man answers to Dakota County charges Former Minneapolis cop pleads guilty to armed robbery by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A decorated war veteran and former Minneapolis Police officer has pleaded guilty to seven counts of armed robbery charges. Timothy Edward Carson, 29, of Rosemount, was earlier this month sentenced to 10 years in prison for five counts of aggravated robbery in Hennepin County. The time will be served concurrently with a previous eight-year sentence he received for committing armed robbery of an Apple Valley bank in January.

Carson will be sentenced Dec. 14 in Hastings. “We intend to seek appropriate consequences for this brazen and violent criminal behavior committed by an officer sworn to uphold the law,� said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom.

She died a week later at a Minneapolis hospital. LeVasseur, who was deaf, had been running in a crosswalk, against a red light, when she was struck. Judge David Knutson declared a mistrial after the jury informed him it was deadlocked after three days

of deliberation. According to one published report, the jury couldn’t decide if Hunter, who drove off without reporting the accident to police, knew he had struck someone.

Rosemount Warm weather helped draw crowd to firefighters’ event Open house featured helicopter, demonstrations by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Great weather and events drew a crowd of about 700 to the Rosemount Fire Department’s Oct. 10 open house. The Minnesota State Fire Service Memorial Bagpipe Band kicked off the open house, and demonstrations of a simulated car crash, kitchen fire and smoke house all went as planned. “The smoke house was used to

show kids how to have an escape route and have a meeting place,� Lt. Andy Norsten explained in an e-mail. Using two vehicles and a crash dummy in a simulated accident, firefighters demonstrated how they extract a victim and load them onto the North Memorial Air Ambulance, waiting nearby. Visitors also had the chance to pick up an informational poster about smoke alarms and various

handouts. Each year, the event runs concurrent with Fire Prevention Week. It costs about $500 to put on, and is supported by donations from local businesses including Triple A Auto, U Pull R Parts, McDonalds, and Starbucks. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Dahl’s legal troubles continue Eagan medical firm sold to Nordson Corp. Lakeville mayor Holly Dahl faces more scrutiny related to husband’s failed business

by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville mayor Holly Dahl is facing additional legal scrutiny, this time over the legitimacy of documents her husband, Kevin, provided to a bank for a business loan that Holly had personally guaranteed. According to the trustee in an involuntary bankruptcy case against Kevin Dahl, a financial statement provided to Community Banks of Colorado for a $500,000 business loan in 2007 was fake. According to court documents, bankruptcy trustee Nauni Manty found that Kevin provided a financial statement to the bank representing that he and Holly had more than $9.8 million in securities that never existed. Holly is listed in court documents because she also personally guaranteed the loan.

Micromedics Inc. is in the process of being acquired by an Ohio-based company by Jessica Harper DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Micromedics has developed technology that distributes biomaterials used to limit bleeding and for other medical procedures. The company also makes devices for relieving ear pressure, organizing surgical instruments and treating vertigo. Prior to the deal with Nordson, Micromedics had planned to create a new company called Summit Medical Inc., which will continue to manufacture and sell those products. Nordson will not own that new business. Micromedics representatives did not respond to calls in time for publication.

Med-tech firm Micromedics Inc. in Eagan is in the process of being sold to Nordson Corp. for an undisclosed amount. Jim Jay, a spokesman for Westlake, Ohio-based Nordson, said the two firms entered an agreement in early October on a sale that is expected to close in about 30 days. The acquisition will be beneficial for both firms, Jay said. “ ... Micromedics is in a great space — the life sciences and medical space that we are trying to grow our business in,� he said. “Micromedics will benefit in that we are a E-mail Derrick Williams at: billion-dollar global compa- E-mail Jessica Harper at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc. ny.� jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com. com

As a result, Holly was deposed on Oct. 7, at which time she provided the plaintiff in that judgement with financial records for both her and Kevin. Holly is seeking re-election as Lakeville’s mayor on Nov. 2. In addition to the financial turmoil Holly and Kevin are experiencing, Kevin is battling advanced colon cancer. “(Kevin’s) battle with cancer, and the various complications that are associated with this disease, have made it nearly impossible for him to conduct his business affairs, let alone meet his financial obligations,� Holly said in her statement. The bankruptcy case against Kevin is ongoing.

October 15, 2010 THISWEEK

Opinion Thisweek Columnist What you can do to prevent domestic violence by Leslie Metzen SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. So what should we be aware of ? Domestic violence is pervasive throughout our community. I learned this working as a District Court judge when nearly every day my work involved some type of case involving domestic violence. Did you know that one-third of American women report physical or sexual abuse by an intimate partner at some time during their life? Or that 20 percent of adolescent girls report experiencing physical or sexual assault by a date? Most abuse is perpetrated by men and boys against girls and women. What supports this behavior? We live in a culture where girls and women are commonly portrayed as sexual objects. The media certainly play a role. Violent television programs, video games and movies. Some music young people listen to glamorizes physical and sexual violence toward girls and women. Pornography is the worst form of the objectification of women. Many boys are raised with a sense of entitlement to power and control over those weaker than

themselves, including women and girls. All of this contributes to social norms that allow some to think that violence against women is OK. Awareness alone will not eliminate violence against girls and women. So what can you do? We each need to recognize the harm to our community from domestic violence. Lost productivity and medical costs have a direct financial impact on all of us. Does your workplace have a policy to support victims of domestic violence? Educators already know that children growing up in violent homes are more prone to truancy, experimentation with drugs and alcohol, teen pregnancy, academic struggles. Young people need to be able to recognize controlling and abusive behaviors when they start to date, the red flags of unhealthy relationships. You can ask your school principals and school boards if they offer programs on healthy dating relationships. You can encourage your faith community youth group to do the same. Dads, granddads, uncles, older brothers and coaches need to teach and mentor boys to value and respect women. Boys need to

get the message – “Never hit a woman” – from another man and from their friends. Men need to call out other men for their violent, misogynistic behavior toward women. They must say to their brothers and best friends: “This has got to stop; harming women is not okay.” It takes courage to speak up but once a few step up, others will join. As a parent you can demonstrate what healthy relationships look like. Young children can learn non-violent ways to resolve conflict. There are countless websites that have information for parents to help them have conversations with their teens (e.g., endabuse.org, teendvmonth.org, mcbw. org). If your family is experiencing violence, reach out for help. The Lewis House, (651) 452-7288, can provide services for women and children and can refer men to programs that help them learn ways to be a better partner and parent. At 360 Communities and the Lewis House, we do our work with the help of volunteers and the support of the community. The work to end domestic violence is never done and we can always use more resources. If you are a good listener or interested in

advocating for victims and their children; if you can help with child care while moms attend support groups; and if you can organize a group activity or serve a meal to 25-30 residents, let us hear from you. We also need more volunteer attorneys to attend court with women seeking protection orders. There are many opportunities, both for short-term projects at the shelters and for continuing, direct services to victims. And, of course, we welcome your financial support. Giving is easy on our website, 360communities.org. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is about raising awareness in our communities. Let’s also make it the month that each of us takes some small action to stand up to the forces in our society that permit violence against women and girls to occur. Let October be the month where women and girls are valued and respected. Leslie Metzen is senior director of violence prevention for 360 Communities and a retired District Court judge of 23 years. Metzen was recently appointed to the State Guardian Ad Litem Board by Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Supports Kurt Bills To the editor: I would like to ask the voters of Minnesota House District 37B to join me in supporting Kurt Bills for state representative. I believe that Bills will work hard for our district and will represent us well. Bills has experience and knowledge that will be a great fit at the state level. His background as an economics teacher and a small business owner as well as his community involvement is especially needed with the economic issues currently facing our state. I can easily align myself with Bills’ priorities to help our state’s economy: a government that functions within financial realities; the need to restructure tax and regulatory systems for efficiency; removing government interference in the job creation process. Bills believes, as I do, that we must lower the cost of doing business in Minnesota in order to spur job growth. Bills will bring honesty, integrity and a voice of common sense so badly needed to the state Capitol. I will be voting for Kurt Bills for state representative and will enthusiastically encourage everyone I know to do the same. JULIE BILLISON Rosemount

Candidate Kurle uniquely qualified To the editor: As a former candidate for Rosemount City Council, it is my pleasure to lend my support and endorsement to Joe Kurle for Rosemount City Council. Kurle will bring a youthful perspective to the council that is tempered with realism rather than idealism. His truly conservative nature and professional background makes him uniquely qualified to sit on the council during challenging times ahead. When Kurle first approached me as candidate, I challenged him aggressively about his wish to preserve the “hometown feel” of today’s Rosemount. In the east metro, the concept was called preserving “rural character.” That concept led to a local government in spite of, instead of for the people.

A spirited exchange between myself and Kurle assures me that it will always be a government about the people under his watch. Kurle has the experience to help strike a balance between government and businesses of all sizes, to expand the gainful employment base in Rosemount without expanding the tax base, as well as hold in check public entities that see our city as a cash cow for financing sustainable boondoggle projects. When I ran for council, I ran under the premise of reminding people that “it’s your money.” I have no doubt that Joe Kurle will be vigilant in protecting our money from spendthrifts and insure that each expense is efficient and accountable to the people and not to special interests. STEVE LYZENGA Rosemount

Three candidates are ‘slam dunk’ choices To the editor: It was my honor to have served Apple Valley officially from 1968-82 as it transitioned from rural Lebanon Township into an incorporated village. Since then, I have kept my fingers on its pulse, monitoring its growth as covetously as one does one’s growing children. Following is my trifecta for the most competent leadership going forward: Mary Hamann-Roland, John Bergman and Clint Hooppaw. No one has the time and heartfelt drive for our city that Hamann-Roland has proven these past 12 years – a slam dunk. Bergman has more than earned his spurs on the Planning Commission, council, transportation committee and intergovernmentally with ALF Ambulance, the Metropolitan Airport Noise Abatement Council and the Dakota Communications Center. Dedicated, energetic and experienced, there is no need for a change – slam dunk No. 2. For some new blood, we cannot do better than Hooppaw. He is experienced in business, banking and finance. In the past decade-plus, he has held every responsible position in the Rotary Club of Apple Valley. He has proven his financial acumen, work ethic, leadership and integrity and truly exemplifies the Rotary motto “service above self.” Hooppaw will earn his slam dunk over the next four

years. MICHAEL J. GARRISON Apple Valley

Vote O’Keefe in Apple Valley To the editor: For our community to thrive, Apple Valley needs the leadership of qualified individuals who will guide our community with intelligent and informed decisions. I’ve known Tom O’Keefe as a good neighbor, always available for a friendly chat when we’re out walking our dogs, or a thoughtful conversation about the issues of the day. He’s a good listener, and he has the judgment to make sensible decisions about the direction of the city. And as the president of a national business association, he possesses business and financial skills that would be an asset to the city. Join me in voting for Tom O’Keefe for Apple Valley City Council. JIM NICHOLS Apple Valley

Proud of community and Hamann-Roland To the editor: We have known Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland for many years and she is a very approachable, friendly person. Hamann-Roland is a good listener. We love Apple Valley, and HamannRoland works tirelessly to keep our community one of the best in America. She has represented our community as the president of the League of Minnesota Cities and the president of the Minnesota Mayors Association. This shows that she is well respected by her peers as well. The city is run well and we are proud that we have achieved a AAA bond rating. This will save our city money for years to come. Hamann-Roland is sensitive to the tough economic times and has, along with the City Council, adopted a preliminary levy that is lower this year than last year. She cares about our families and that our property taxes will not increase (and for some will be going down) on the city portion of our taxes. Keep a good thing going in these tough times. Let’s re-elect Mary Hamann-Roland as our mayor. NANCY and FRANCOIS PARADEISE Apple Valley

Dancing zombies kicked off a scream-filled weekend during the Support Our Troops Haunted House event Oct. 8-9 at the county fairgrounds in Farmington. About 900 people dared tour the “house,� a maze of rooms divided by sheets set up in the 4-H building, with each room featuring a theme. The most popular rooms, as determined by visitors’ votes, were the haunted classroom, the demoniac playroom and the “wedding from hell� room. Organizer Germaine Beyl, Castle Rock Township, declared the event a success, noting many compliments received from visitors. Beyl started the haunted house in 2003 as a small event held at her family’s farm, and asked each person attending to bring a non-perishable item to include in a care package to her son’s military unit deployed in Iraq. The tradition grew and attracted volunteers. In 2008, the haunted house opened to the public, and Thrivent Financial

Arts center’s revenue ‘headed in the right direction,’ commission chair says by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Boosting revenue and improving marketing are jobs the Burnsville Performing Arts Center and its new advisory commission must tackle, commission Chairman Paul Jacques told the City Council Oct. 12. “In order to increase revenues, we have to get more people in the theater on a regular basis,� Jacques told the council. Signs are good, according to Jacques. Revenue in 2011 is forecasted to exceed 2010’s forecasted amount by 18 percent, he said in an interview. The center is “headed in the right direction on the numbers,� Jacques told the council. He and Commissioner Sal Mondelli gave the commission’s first quarterly report to the council at its Oct. 12 work session. The nine-member body began meeting in July. The council appointed the commission after a tough first year for the center, which lost $533,600 in 2009 after opening in January, according to management company VenuWorks. Though operating losses were expected and are expected to continue, the city budgeted for a subsidy of only $265,475, while VenuWorks predicted a subsidy of $346,220. A center the size of Burnsville’s, which has a 1,000-seat main theater and a 150-seat black box theater, can become self-supporting with municipal support, endowments, grant funds and corporate backing, Jacques said after the work session. He said Executive Director Jon Elbaum and his VenuWorks team have “made a lot

of progress� since Elbaum started work in March. Elbaum succeeded Wolf Larson, the first director, who moved to Spain. “We’ve got to look at this as a startup business, and we’re in year two of a startup business that had an executive change in the middle of that,� Mondelli told the council. Elbaum said his top priority for boosting use of the center would be a fund allowing management to take the risk of booking its own shows, not just waiting for promoters. It could be a city fund or come from private donors, he said. It’s high time the fund was established, Council Member Dan Kealey said. “How can we make that happen sooner than later?� he said. Mondelli said more outside money is needed to subsidize the local arts groups that now can’t afford paying rent for shows at the center. The Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center group, which has contributed to physical improvements of the $20 million building, reports that it is now putting most of its donations into subsidies for local groups, Jacques said. “We don’t want to have all commercial events in this facility,� said Mondelli, a former board chair of the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul. “That will defeat the purpose.� Jacques, a bank consultant and former bank executive, said he’s heartened by response to the center in a city-commissioned survey of residents. The survey, which measured attitudes toward a range of quality-of-life issues in Burnsville, found 42 percent of respondents rating the cen-

Dakota County Farmington graduate, firefighter dies in motorcycle crash Memorial service to be at Lord of Life Church by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A 2008 Farmington High School graduate was killed Oct. 10 in a motorcycle accident in western Wisconsin. Benjamin “BJ� Jacob Wratz, 20, was driving his motorcycle with three friends when at about 3:15 p.m. his bike skidded out of control as he drove around a bend. The bike crashed into a bridge rail and was propelled into the south fork of the Bad Axe River on Vernon County Road in the town of Sterling. Wratz, who was wearing a

helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Vernon County coroner. In an interview Tuesday, Wratz’s mother, Chris Wratz, called him a “happy, smiley kid who would always go out of his way to help anyone.� Wratz was a volunteer with the Farmington Fire Department and was attending Hennepin Technical College to become a professional fireman, a dream he’d held since about eighth grade. He had just finished a first responder class. Chris said her son was not

a very experienced rider and always wore a helmet and protective gear. Wratz was involved in 4-H and particularly liked clowning. He had been an ambassador in Atlanta for the National 4-H Conference, and just recently became screened as an adult 4-H leader. One of six children, Wratz was known for taking care of others, including changing the oil in the cars of each of his family members. At the time of the accident, his youngest brother, Jonathan, 10, was doing a

homework assignment writing about his hero, Ben. Oldest brother Matthew, 24, described Wratz as a good kid with a bright future. “He was very caring. He was always there when you needed him,� Matthew said. Wratz is survived by parents Steve and Chris; siblings Matthew, 24; Nathaniel, 22; Aaron, 19; Katlyn, 13; and Jonathan, 10. A visitation was held Thursday at Lord of Life Church, 16200 Dodd Lane, in Lakeville and funeral services are at the church today (Friday, Oct. 15) at 1 p.m. with visitation one hour before the services. “I’ve learned in the past 24 hours just how many lives he’s touched,� Chris said.

ing the issue were included in council member packets. In the document, Knutson stated that the limited public forum includes certain groups or topics but can’t discriminate by a particular viewpoint. He advised that government officials not use statements such as “posts may be deleted for any reason.� The discussion was intended to give City Council guidance to city staff. When the topic was broached in July by the Rosemount Youth Commission, the general consensus was for the city to start with comments turned off and possibly allow them later.

The officer had stopped Carson for no front license plate, and let him go after he said he was a Minneapolis Police officer. As it turned out, Carson was on his way to rob an Apple Valley bank before going to work. He was later identified as the man who burst into the Apple Valley Wells Fargo Bank branch, pointed his gun at three tellers, jumped on the counter and ordered everyone to put their hands up and their heads down. Carson then directed tellers to give him money, and he left with $4,580. Soon after the incident, the Apple Valley officer who had stopped Carson earlier was called to the robbery scene. On the way, the officer saw Carson’s vehicle heading away from the bank. Suspicious, he alerted authorities. When questioned, Carson offered information that connected himself to 12 unsolved robberies around the metro. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

There’s every reason to believe the Rosemount football team could run pretty far into playoffs this fall. The Irish have one of the most dominating running games to come out of the south metro in years, averaging almost 288 yards per game. But coaches like to say one game at a time because that’s truly how they take it. Rosemount has run out ahead of the bunch in the South Suburban Conference, but it has two challenging teams remaining on its regular-season schedule. Rosemount will welcome Eastview (4-2) to town on Friday. Many coaches tell

PRESSBOX me before the season starts their team could be struggling early and finding their way by October. Eastview embodies that statement. After losing to Lakeville North and Eden Prairie in the first two games, Eastview has won four straight. It all started with a wild game against Eagan, which nearly pulled off a last-second comeback. The Lightning found an offensive identity and continued to evolve from there. Eastview went on to

win its next two games by a combined 45-7 against Bloomington Kennedy and Apple Valley. A few days later, Rosemount will make the trip to Eagan, which is 4-2. In both of Eagan’s losses, its offense was in the opponent’s territory down by a score as time expired. Eagan is one of the most underrated teams in the metro two-years running. Quarterback Jameson Parsons is one of those football players who looks like he’s playing a different game at a different speed than anyone else. The Wildcat defense will need to consistently hold teams to less than 20 points, something it’s done once this year, to be successful in the playoffs, which begin on Oct. 26. Other teams in Section 3-5A will get a chance to redefine their seasons during sections, too. The winless Apple Valley football team will always have 2007 to look at for inspiration. The Eagles didn’t win a game during the regular season, but beat Bloomington Kennedy and Rosemount to play in the section finals. This year, Apple Valley isn’t a typical winless team. In most games, the Eagles were ahead at some point against some solid teams.

Eastview’s Ryan Reger, No. 7, looks to pass with Burnsville’s Thomas Guggemos, No. 80, in pursuit. Burnsville won 29-21.

Losing to Eagan on Sept. 24 was a real letdown. There were many situations where they thought they had that game wrapped up. They got that “here we go again” feeling and it never went away. Since then the Eagles have been outscored 55-3. Something is going to break on Friday when they travel to Bloomington Jefferson, another winless team which has given up a score in every quarter except for one. The Burnsville Blaze could be a dark horse in the section as well this year. They were given up for dead weeks ago with an injured star quarterback and a heartbreaking 34-33 loss to Prior Lake. With quarterback Cam Jones back on his feet and CJ Smith running wild, the Blaze beat

Lakeville North 26-3 and kept pace with Eagan, losing 29-21. This is one of the best Burnsville teams in years, but mistakes have cost them. Both the defense and the offense have played well, but not always at the same time. In recent years, the Section 3-5A champion hasn’t always had the best record, but it’s made noise at state. Last year’s champion, Eastview (5-3 in the regular season) nearly knocked off the eventual state champion, Cretin-Derham Hall, 27-24 in the quarterfinals. The 2008 and 2006 section champs, Rosemount, and 2007 champs, Eastview, both made it to the state semifinals as well. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Conference cross country features many of the state’s best by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

As much as it seems like cross country is an individual sport, it will take an entire team to win the South Suburban boys conference title Friday at Eagan High School. Each team will rely on several runners, not just its top two or three, to win the firstever South Suburban Conference title. Three teams in the conference – Rosemount, Burnsville and Eastview – have been ranked in the top 10 this season by the coaches association poll. They’ll go headto-head for the first time this season on Friday. “Whoever wins will have to run a fairly flawless race,” Eastview coach Tom Sharp

said. Winning is going to take a strong effort from every runner. Burnsville knows what can happen when one runner falls behind a competitor down the final stretch. At the St. Olaf Challenge in Northfield on Sept. 17, Burnsville lost to White Bear Lake by one point. “It opened our eyes that we have to do the small things for us to improve to the next level,” Burnsville coach Jeff Webber said. The Blaze hope to push each other along the track to ensure all their runners cross the finish line as soon as possible. “Our three to five runners need to perform really well to win,” Webber said.

Coming off a convincing victory at the Dick Mitchell Invitational in LaCrosse, Wis., on Sept. 30, Eastview feels like it has a chance to win the conference. Eastview runs with just two seniors, but one-throughseven have moved up the ranks as a pack. “We can compete with any of the teams if we keep our pack together,” Sharp said. “We believe our four through seven runners can give us an advantage if they run as they are capable.” Both teams are chasing the favorite in Rosemount, which won the Ev Berg Invitational in Owatonna on Oct. 7. “As a team, our top five had the second-best com-

bined time on this course, second only to our 2006 state runner-up squad,” Irish coach Chris Harder said. Shane McCallum nearly matched Jordan Carlson’s time from 2006, marking the best time on this course by an Irish runner since Chad Duffy in 1990. “Shane sensed the slower pace and threw in an early surge,” Harder said. “Our guys went with him and we had control the rest of the way. Rosemount’s next two runners, Nathan Rock and Chandler Dye, have also run up the score, finishing second and third. “Our depth is going to be the key for our team the rest of the season,” Harder said.

Individually, the conference features some of the top runners in the state in including Burnsville’s Cole O’Brien, McCallum, Lakeville North’s Ben Saxton, Eagan’s Sidney Speir, Eastview’s Erik Rosvold and Ken Hoffman. O’Brien has some of the fastest legs around, but it’s his head that separates him from the pack. “I think Cole is very mentally tough, but he also understands the importance of the team aspect of crosscountry running,” Webber said. “His greatest strength is easy: His ability to let bad days go and takes his training very seriously.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Soccer: Wildcat girls team wins conference Eagle girls soccer stands out by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

“Soccer really comes down to three things that determine a game – attitude, talent and fortune – and I think it will take a combination of the three to win the section this year, as many teams are so close,” Obarski said. There were no upsets in the quarterfinals as all the top seeds moved on. Eagan defeated Hastings 5-0, Rosemount shut out Farmington 4-0, Apple Valley rallied past Henry Sibley 7-0, and Eastview outlasted Park 2-0. The semifinals were scheduled for Thursday and the finals will happen on Tuesday at Burnsville High School.

Winning the South Suburban Conference meant a lot to the Eagan girls soccer team. The Wildcats were undefeated during conference play with just one tie and seven wins. The girls averaged nearly three goals per game while giving up less than one. “The team not allowing a lot of goals was a combination of good goaltending and excellent defensive play,” coach Mark Obarski said. “The team does not care who scores, they are very unselfish, at times they overpass close to the goal.” That gave Eagan the No. 1 seed in the Section 3AA Boys tournament. Obarski knows Since the beginning of what it takes to win coming the 2008 season, the Eagan in as the defending champi- Wildcats have gone 46-9-5, ons. but they’ve never gone to

state. This year Eagan used a mix of underclassmen and seniors to earn a No. 3 ranking in Class AA. “Our seniors have been great leaders and we have become a very well balanced team,” coach Kurt Virgin said. “We know the section is wide open. We have to take them one game at a time.” Few teams have matched that level of success, except for one of Eagan’s Section 3AA rivals, Apple Valley, which won the section the past three years. Apple Valley increased its record-breaking streak to 42 games with a 10-0 victory over Hastings on Tuesday. The team set a new state record with 41 straight victories last weekend with a 5-0 win against Farmington. Two other teams saw their seasons come to an end in Section 3AA. Rosemount lost to Park 2-0 and Burnsville lost to Eastview 2-1, ending both of their seasons. Apple Valley and Eastview played in the semifinals, and Eagan took on Park on Thursday (the results were unavailable at press time). The finals are scheduled for Tuesday at Burnsville High School.

2-1. The team has put up an average of 2.5 goals per game this season. Taylor Browning (19 goals) and Jordan Sammons (12 goals) have combined into a scoring machine. “Jordan does not have that look of a polished and skilled soccer player but she is a very good athlete and a hard worker,” Randa said. “She brings a toughness to us on the front and also is able to find people who are open and get the ball to them. She very rarely loses a one-on-one battle. “Taylor has great speed, but does not look like she is working hard at all. She has a good touch on the ball with her back to the net and is able to get past defenders when they are not expecting it.” Browning and Sammons each had two goals in the 7-0 quarterfinal victory against Henry Sibley. Megan Nichols, Megan Makki and defender Ally Schulz also put in a goal each. Keeper Lauren Hoeppner not only earned the shutout, but she had an assist on the team’s fourth goal. The defense of Schulz, Jenaye Coleman, Nicole Halstead, Taylor Stainbrook and Lexi Case limited Henry Sibley to long-distance shots. In the semifinals Apple Valley took on No. 3 seed Eastview, which defeated Park of Cottage Grove 2-0 in the quarterfinals, on Thursday (the results were unavailable at press time). The finals are scheduled for Thursday at Burnsville High School.

In the past month, the Apple Valley girls soccer team has played as well as anyone in the state. After starting the season with a 2-4 record, the Eagles went 8-2-2 from Sept. 16 to Oct. 12. That all led to the No. 2 seed in the Section 3AA tournament, which began on Tuesday. “(Getting) the No. 2 seed did feel good,” Apple Valley coach Keith Randa said. “I honestly cannot remember (the last time we had it).” It was a nice relief after last season when Apple Valley defeated both Rosemount and Eastview 3-1 during the regular season, but was seeded below both come playoffs. This year, the only section loss during the regular season was against top-seeded Eagan. “It took us a little bit to step up to the speed that the Wildcats play at,” Randa said. “But after the adjustment we stayed with them.” The month leading up to the playoffs included a fivegame winning streak. Randa had an idea that the Eagles could put together a run like this back on Sept. 16 against Bloomington Jefferson, one of the top-five teams in the Andy Rogers is at state. The Eagles won 2-1 and andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. it set off a streak in which the Eagles went 6-0-1. “It was one of the first games that we as a team Photo by Rick Orndorf Eagan’s Tyler Burger, No. 23, played up to our potential,” fights for position against Henry Randa said. During that stretch, the Sibley’s Christian Camargo during the Section 3AA quarterfinals on Eagles traveled north to play Thursday. Eagan won the game 1-0.

Job opportunities abound for seniors At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film “Frost/ Nixon,â€? former President Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, says, “Retired people are the most bored people in the world.â€? While some retirees might scoff at that remark, others no doubt agree there’s an element of truth to it. Perhaps boredom is one reason many seniors continue to work past retirement age. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), 47 percent of male seniors and 34 percent of female seniors were employed in 2007. That those figures were from 2007 is significant, as it indicates this was before the economic downturn of 2008-09, a consequence of which was more seniors returning to the workforce. For many seniors, though, working isn’t simply a means to earn money. In fact, seniors who continued working past the age of 70 earned an average of just $20,000 in 2007. Seniors also tend to work to have something to do. For seniors looking to do just that, there are a host of employment or even volunteer opportunities that can help seniors stay busy and possibly put a little extra money in their pockets. • Local park service. Many local park services hire seniors to help keep the parks clean. These are often seasonal opportunities, making them ideal for seniors who live in different cities depending on the seasons. • Golf course. Golf courses are other seasonal businesses, at least in much of the country, that also boast lots of part-time opportunities for seniors. For example, golf courses need rangers, who ensure all golfers play by the rules and respect the course, and even maintenance staff, who do everything from

These can also pull double duty, providing seniors with daily exercise to help them stay healthy. • Volunteer. Many programs that help indigent citizens get by every day welcome seniors as volunteers. Meal delivery services and other programs that cater to the sick are often in need of a helping hand. • School systems. Local school districts also have volunteer opportunities that can be ideal for seniors. Positions such as crossing guard or even helping out with the local athletic teams don’t require much of a commitment and can be rewarding and fun for seniors. • Consultant work. Seniors who miss the thrill of business

don’t have to give it up completely simply because they’re retired. Many seniors earn a handsome amount of money by working as consultants, using their vast experience to help the next generation. What’s more, consultants often work on their own schedule, an ideal situation for seniors with a passion for business but an equal passion for the positives of retirement. • Library. Libraries might not be as popular as they once were, but many are still going strong, and some even use volunteers and part-time employees to keep their operations running smoothly. Many libraries prefer hiring seniors thanks to their reliability and good attitude.

When your body doesn’t make enough insulin or prevents the insulin you produce from working properly, this could lead to diabetes. The condition requires that individuals do the work their bodies used to do automatically to maintain the insulin/glucose balance. The risk of type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, increases as you get older, often because people typically exercise

Free screenings Medicare offers free diabetes screening for enrolled adults 65 and older who have at least one risk factor. These factors include family history, high blood pressure, high

With pre-diabetes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. If doctors suspect diabetes in patients with normal fasting blood glucose levels, they may recommend an oral glucose tolerance test, which also

“So we joined forces with Novo Nordisk to share our story. We asked, got screened and now know where our health stands relative to diabetes.� With a history of diabetes in Zorich’s family, the time was right to be screened. “We want to be around for as long as possible for each other, and our family,� said Zorich. “Now that we know I have diabetes, we can manage the disease the right way, by exercising more and eating better.�

Do you have diabetes and not know it? Approximately seven out of 10 adults aged 65 or older have diabetes or pre-diabetes and many don’t know it. Almost half of older Americans with diabetes aren’t aware they have the disease. Fortunately, Medicare has been offering free diabetes screening to those at risk since 2005. But utilization has been low and many seniors remain undiagnosed. In fact, less than 10 percent of those eligible have taken advantage of the tests. That’s why Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis and her husband, actor Louis Zorich, are urging at-risk adults 65 and older to get screened. In partnership with Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care, they are spearheading an educational program known as “Ask. Screen.Know.� The program encourages people enrolled in Medicare to ask their healthcare providers about free diabetes screenings in order to know their blood sugar levels and what actions to take. For Dukakis and her husband, this program hits close to home. Having been married for 47 years, the couple recently got tested and Zorich learned he has type 2 diabetes. “When we learned that less than 10 percent of people with Medicare have taken advantage of the diabetes screening benefit, we knew we had to do something,� said Dukakis.
