Alan Merrick’s first United States residence was an apartment in Eagan. Thirty-six years later, things have come full circle as he returns there to coach high school soccer. “I’m very familiar with Silver Bell Road,” he said with a laugh.

Eagan High School hired him for his soccer background, not for his familiarity with city’s geography. Merrick, a longtime player, coach and trainer – as well as a Minnesota resident since 1976, when he arrived from England to join a professional team called the Minnesota Kicks – will be head coach of the Wildcats

boys soccer program. He has coached professional and college club teams, but not a high school team. So, why now? “It’s very simple – I’ve never done it before,” said Merrick, 61, who now lives in Lakeville and lived in Apple Valley for many years where his daughter played soccer. “I’ve coached high

school kids and have been involved in high school soccer as a parent, but I’ve never had the opportunity to be involved with every aspect of coaching a high school team. I suppose you could say it’s something to cross off the bucket list.” He will be only the second head boys soccer coach Eagan High School has

Dealing with autism is ongoing struggle for Apple Valley family Mike & Kelly Kausel family works to ensure autism education, funding by Andrew Miller Sun Thisweek

Kelly Kausel says she began noticing troubling signs when her son Noah was just a few months old. He wasn’t making eye contact, wasn’t sitting up or moving around, and as Noah continued to fall behind his peers in behavioral development, Kelly and her husband Mike were referred to the University of Minnesota’s Autism Spectrum Department, where Noah was diagnosed with autism in November 2010. Since then, it’s been a period of sacrifice for the family, who recently moved to Apple Valley from New Ulm to get 3-year-old Noah closer to the services he needs. Fortunately, the family found a form of therapy

– called Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA – that they say has seen Noah making progress. Before the therapy, Noah had limited ability to communicate, struggled to learn basic selfcare skills and would act aggressively and bite. “Noah is saying two to three words at a time and now he says ‘hi’ to people – last year it was just screaming,” Kausel said. Currently, Noah’s 40 hours of ABA each week through homebased treatment provider Lovaas is fully covered by insurance. But Kausel says there’s concern that may change, as her family’s health insurance provider has announced plans to cut funding for ABA altogether by July of this year.

A chance phone call a few years ago is the reason a 44-member Swedish college choir will perform next week for St. Joseph Catholic Church students and the public in Rosemount. Karen Arlandson, who

attends the church when she’s in town for grandparent duties, received a call in 2010 when the Vettern College Choir was in the Twin Cities for a series of concerts. The crew sought housing for their professors and college president and found Arlandson’s number

Buying an old cookie jar or a picture frame at the Rosemount High School Band Garage Sale will be music to the ears of many young people this spring. That’s because the proceeds from the 10th annual sale Saturday, May 5, will fund such essentials as sheet music or a scholarship for a student who can’t afford band participation fees. It’s that higher purpose that organizers hope will spur people to donate gently used items to be sold and for people to bring cash or their checkbook to the sale that has a cornucopia of hidden gems, including Christmas decorations, clothes, kitchen contraptions and much more. The goal for this year’s sale is $10,000 to match the 10th year sale milestone. Last year, the program netted $8,500, which funded sheet music for all the school’s bands. “The proceeds have also made scholarships available for students who wouldn’t be able to participate without the financial assistance,” said Tricia Remus, a garage sale organizer, “whether it’s for instruSee sale, 3A

We had to get pretty savvy for that.” The sales pitch must have been effective as the choir will perform at seven Minnesota venues in nine days. The choir, which is comprised of 24 women and 20 men, performs a repertoire that includes traditional choral works, Swedish ethnic music and hymns. “It’s kind of lyrical,” Karen said. “Its speaks to you.

Search for missing man continues

Moreno-Pacheco, 61, has dementia by John Gessner Sun Thisweek

As of Wednesday morning, the search continued for a Burnsville man who was last seen at around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, April 15. Lorenzo Moreno-Pacheco, 61, does not speak English and suffers dementia from a head injury, according to Burnsville police. He is 5-foot-6, 150 pounds, with a heavy black mustache, and he walks with a limp. He was last seen in the area of Burnsville Parkway near the Savage border. Moreno-Pacheco lives on the 14700 block of West Burnsville Parkway in one of the two mobile home parks there. To the south are heavsale, from 1A ment rental or to participate in the marching band.” Proceeds also help to offset transportation costs related to the marching band’s equipment trailer. Funds help repair and purchase some of the school-owned instruments, including percussion, tuba, bass clarinet, baritone, bassoon, French horn, etc. Band director Steve Olsen said the school never used to use fundraiser money to purchase such instruments, but it does now. “Due to recent budget cuts (the past few years) as our band program continues to grow, we have used a small portion of the garage sale profits to purchase traditionally provided ‘schoolowned’ instruments for students that enter our program from middle school so they have an instrument to use and may continue their participation in the band program in high school,” Olsen said. Despite the budget shortfalls, Olsen said the school district has allocated fund-

Numerous agencies have been involved in the search for Moreno-Pacheco, who may have been wearing ing very fairly. “Funding is tight for everything,” Olsen said. “We do rely on a significant amount of fundraising efforts to maintain the same level of music education that we have traditionally offered to our students at Rosemount.” Donations for the sale, which raises money to support the band program, will be accepted Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Sunday, April 29, from 12-3 p.m., and Monday, April 30, through Thursday, May 3, from 5-8 p.m. Large items such as furniture will be received Friday, May 4, in the student center beginning at 2:30 p.m. There will be two semitrailers, donated by Justman Freightliners of Eagan, in the high school parking lot to collect and store items. Organizers are seeking volunteers to help during the collection week and most importantly during setup on Friday afternoon and during the sale. “We have wonderful volunteers,” Remus said.

He’s got no identification. They’re not exactly sure what he was wearing.” Moreno-Pacheco has a wife and a children, and they’re “frantic,” Bochniak said. “They’re obviously concerned and looking. ... They’re staying in touch with the Police Department.” It’s also unclear whether Moreno-Pacheco was dressed for the chilly days earlier in the week. “That’s not a good thing for somebody with his health problems,” Bochniak at least 30 adult volunteers and about 90 students to collect, sort and display the items. Volunteers also are cashiers and chefs at a food stand outside the school. “The RHS band students never cease to impress me with their willingness to volunteer and have fun while doing it,” Remus said. As one would guess, most of the adult volunteers are parents of students in the band program. But that’s not a prerequisite for helping out. Remus said adults and students are still needed to lend a hand. “The more the merrier,” Remus said.

Searchers included Burnsville police, the Hennepin County K-9 Unit, the sheriff’s departments in Dakota and Scott counties, Three Rivers Park District rangers and Burnsville’s Mobile Volunteer Network. Burnsville police re-

sumed the search the following morning. Neighborhood residents, State Patrol helicopters and even searchers on horseback from a private club have also been involved, Bochniak said. A tip led to another search of Cam Ram Park Tuesday night, which turned up nothing, Bochniak said. A photo of Moreno-Pacheco has been widely circu-

Summer trip sets up Eastview for success Boys lacrosse team shows off its firepower in early-season action

by Mike Shaughnessy Sun Thisweek

It’s not cheap to send a high school lacrosse team out of state to play in summer tournaments, but Eastview’s boys are getting the payoff this spring. The Lightning won its first two games, including a come-from-behind victory over then-No. 2-ranked Minnetonka, and established itself as a contender for the state championship. Eastview coaches and players said a trip to the eastern United States last summer set the stage for what’s happening now. “It definitely helped,” said senior attackman Erik Gage. “We had high expectations anyway because we worked together the whole off-season.” Eastview’s summer traveling team, the Eastview Grizzlies, journeyed last summer to play three tournaments. Tim Roche, the Lightning’s varsity head coach, said it was the first non-all-star team from Minnesota to make such a trip. Coaches, parents and players were so pleased with the results that a similar trip is planned this summer. “We knew we might get our butts handed to us, playing all those good teams from out East,” Roche said. “But it was a great experience, and we now know we have a lot of kids who can play. “We’ve never had this kind of depth in our program before. We’ve got 25, 26 good players.” The off-season work also might have instilled some hunger in the players. Minnesota high school lacrosse practices started the last week of March, which also was Eastview High School’s spring break. Usually, coaches have to accept the idea of players missing practices while on spring break. Not so with the Lightning. “Not one kid who’s on the varsity or junior varsity missed a practice,” Roche said.

Apple Valley catcher Logan Kohorst reaches for the throw as Lakeville North’s Neil Engler scores the tying run in Tuesday’s South Suburban Conference baseball game. Lakeville North went on to win 2-1 in eight innings. Apple Valley’s record dropped to 1-4.

Sports Briefs TAGS shines at Rising Stars Invite The Level 7 Team from TAGS South in Apple Valley competed at the Rising Stars Invite held March 1718 at North St. Paul High School, scoring 109.725 points. The Level 7 team had many strong performances. On the vault, Teagan Ramboldt of Eagan led the team with a 9.1. Taylor Thorberg of Farmington followed closely with an 8.9. Taylor Zoellner of Lakeville

earned a third-place finish in her age division with an 8.5. Sarah Wilken of Eagan had a team-leading 9.25 on uneven bars. Thorberg scored 9.225 on her routine. Zoellner placed first in her age division with a 9.0. Zoellner earned another first-place finish on beam with a 9.1. Wilken and Kayla Brunner of Eagan both earned scores of 8.9. Lauren Casey of Eagan followed closely with an 8.775. The team tumbled its way to success on floor exercise, with Ramboldt scoring 9.6. Thorberg earned

a 9.5 for her floor routine. Following closely was Abby Schwartz of Farmington earning a 9.475. Zoellner went on to earn another first-place finish in her age division with a 9.35. Kelsey Dolejs and Lexie Johnson of Apple Valley also competed on floor exercise, with Dolejs earning a 9.15 and Johnson scoring 8.7. Thorberg led the team in the all around with a 36.25. Zoellner took home another first-place finish in her age division with a 35.95. Following closely was Lauren Casey with a 35.75.

“Senior leadership” is a term sometimes thrown around lightly in high school sports because you don’t necessarily have to be a senior to be a good leader. But, Apple Valley girls lacrosse coach Alexandra Ross makes it clear that a lot will be expected of her nine seniors, on and off the field. So far they have delivered. The Eagles won their first two games, 16-12 over Wayzata and 22-3 over Rochester Mayo. “It’s really nice to have all those seniors,” Ross said. “They know my style, and I know what they’re going to do. “I returned five of my top six scorers from last year, and they all played in summer tournaments all over the country. They had the experience of playing against some really good competition, and that will only help them here.” Four of the seniors are captains – midfielder Hannah Segar, forward Katrina Vogelgesang, forward Liz Hermes and defender Dilini Sundaram. Vogelgesang had 12 points, including eight goals, in the first two games. Segar and Hermes each had a four-goal game. Senior forward Mandie Kaiser scored 10 goals in the first two games, five each against Wayzata and Rochester Mayo. Ashlynn Seely, another senior, started in goal

in both games. Younger players are making contributions, including sophomore midfielder Katie Larson, who had five goals through two games. “Our scoring’s been pretty spread out, which is something I like to see,” Ross said. “That makes it tough for teams to defend against us.” Ross had to re-stock the Eagles’ defense and did so by asking a couple of returning players to take on new roles. Senior Alyssa Lewis moved from midfield to defense, and junior Jordyn Haupert switched from attack to defense. “Alyssa caused three or four turnovers in the Rochester Mayo game and leads our team in interceptions,” Ross said. Forward Anna Nguyen and defender Tess Rybar also are part of the Eagles’ senior group. A year ago Apple Valley was 10-4 but lost to Eagan/ Rosemount 14-13 in the Section 3 quarterfinals. The Eagan/Rosemount co-op has since split into separate teams. Ross said the growth of girls lacrosse in the metro area, and particularly in the southern suburbs, has made the games less predictable. “Last year Eagan beat us in the playoffs,” Ross said. “(Bloomington) Jefferson went to the state tournament for the first time. (Bloomington) Kennedy had only one loss, and it

was to Jefferson in the playoffs. “Lakeville North graduated only their goalie from last year. Eastview has a good group of freshmen coming in. I think there are going to be a lot of close games in our conference.”

Apple Valley boys

The Eagle boys faced two of the state’s top lacrosse teams recently, and scoring goals was a problem. After beating Wayzata 7-2 in their season opener, they lost 13-5 to Eden Prairie (second in the Minnesota Lax Hub rankings) and 10-4 to fourth-ranked Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Senior attackman Connor Uzlik had two goals and one assist in the Benilde-St. Margaret’s game Tuesday while goalie Max Chlan, a ninth-grader, made 14 saves. Uzlik, defender Blake Broberg and midfielder Derek Falteisek are Apple Valley’s captains. Chlan stopped 10 of 12 shots in the Wayzata game and sophomore attackman Tim Toavs led the Eagles with four goals. Apple Valley, led by firstyear head coach Michael Evans, played No. 1-ranked Eagan on Thursday. The Eagles will travel to Lakeville North for a South Suburban Conference game at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Does Pilot Knob Road have mystical powers? Probably not, but there’s no question it’s a place where lacrosse players flourish. One hot spot of talent in the metro area is what Rosemount High School boys coach Lance Kuehn calls the “Pilot Knob Road Lacrosse Area.” Why? “Because anybody who touches Pilot Knob seems to be great at lacrosse,” he said. “When you drove on that road, you used to see hockey nets in the driveways. Now you see a lot of orange pipes (lacrosse goal frames).” The RAVE (Rosemount/ Apple Valley/Eagan) youth program helped spread lacrosse across Dakota County, and high school teams are now seeing the benefit. Kuehn said it’s no coincidence that Pilot Knob Road goes through the attendance areas of three high schools – Rosemount, Eagan and Eastview – with strong boys programs. This week Eagan was first, Eastview third and Rosemount sixth in the Minnesota Lax Hub state rankings. Those three schools are in

the net. Junior midfielder Maddie Johnson scored 14 goals in the Rosemount girls first two games, including nine in a 13-11 victory over Park of Cottage Grove on April 12. This is Rosemount’s first year with its own girls lacrosse program. Previously, the Irish were in a co-op with Eagan. That team, called the Wild Irish, reached the Section 3 championship game last spring before losing to Bloomington Jefferson. Jeff Smith, who was head coach of the co-op team, is Rosemount’s varsity coach. Johnson, junior defender Sydney Lubeley and senior midfielder Cassie Miller are Rosemount’s captains. All played for the co-op team last season. Shaniah Anderson had a hat trick in the Park game. Miller had a goal and three assists and recovered five ground balls. Rosemount plays at Farmington at 6:30 p.m. Friday and faces Bloomington Jefferson at home at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Mike Shaughnessy is at mike. shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Who pitches is “a gameby-game decision as far as we’re concerned,” Newton said. “Paige is a great infielder as well as a great pitcher. Marissa played well at second base in our game against Rosemount (a 12-5 victory in the Lightning’s season opener). “Marissa has a good bat and great softball knowledge

and skill, as does Paige. We want both in the game. We don’t want to take one out for the other.” Seniors such as Alyssa Besch (center field) and Sam Weinberg (first base) have been a calming influence for a team that also is giving playing time to a couple of ninth-graders, Melissa Barry (right field) and Julia Luciano (third base). The senior group includes catcher Sophie Runing, infielder Ariana Hipolito, Sophie Albright and Meredith Cocker. Junior infielder

Rachel Young and ninthgrade catcher Kara Sjostrom round out the roster. This is the second year in high school softball that the pitching runner is 43 feet from home plate, moved back from 40 feet. Newton said the switch has forced fundamental changes in the game. “It’s more of a complete team game as opposed to a pitcher-catcher game,” she said. “I can see the benefit of that. You have to be more aggressive on defense and at the plate, and you have to try

to stay one step ahead of the opponent.” So far, the Lightning has been able to do that. “We’re only a few games in,” Newton said. “We’re very happy with the way the girls have played, but we also have some tough games ahead of us.” The Lightning will play at Burnsville, last year’s South Suburban Conference champion, at 4:15 p.m. Monday.

Merrick is local hero who, like soccer, doesn’t get respect he deserves by Larry Werner Sun Thisweek

Our newspapers were filled with good stories last week, but a brief on the sports page caught my eye. The headline read: “Merrick named to coach Eagan boys soccer.” Mike Shaughnessy, one of our two sports editors, found out that Alan Merrick would be succeeding longtime Eagan coach Kurt Virgin, who resigned abruptly after an investigation was launched into his handling of finances for camps he ran. On today’s front page, you can read more about Merrick and enjoy a photo of him playing with Pele, perhaps the greatest soccer player of all time. We were going to place Mike’s story inside the paper, on the sports pages, but Managing Editor Tad Johnson and I decided to give it more prominent display after talking about what the story represents: It’s a story about a longtime Dakota County resident who made a name for himself in a sport – soccer – that is played by more Dakota County youths than any other sport. In other words, it’s the kind of story you expect from your community newspaper. As I’ve mentioned in this space before, I spent the middle part of my career as an editor at the Star Tribune. I argued futiley in news meetings that the newspaper

Sun Thisweek Columnist

should give more attention to soccer, the sport my children played, which is how I fell in love with “the world’s game.” But the metro daily measures the value of sports stories by the number of people who pay to attend games. And a lot more people pay to see the Vikings and Twins than paid to see the Minnesota Kicks, the professional team Merrick played for, or the Minnesota Strikers, the indoor team Merrick later coached, or, currently, the Minnesota Stars, the pro team that plays at the National Sports Center in Blaine. But if editors allocated space in their papers by the number of participants in sports, soccer would get a lot more attention than it does, and we’d be reading less about the football, baseball and basketball teams and their endless demands for new taxpayer-financed facilities. I must confess that despite my love of soccer, I spend a lot more time watching our hapless Vikings, Twins, Wolves and

Wild than I do watching soccer. And I’m aware that few things can affect the Star Tribune’s circulation more than a good run by one of its big pro sports teams. Remember the Homer Hanky from the World Series years? That was a promotion that came out of the Strib’s marketing department. Here at Sun Thisweek, we deliver newspapers free to the vast majority of the homes in Farmington, Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Burnsville and Eagan. So we don’t have to worry about what sells newspapers. But we do spend a lot of time talking about offering papers that contain stories about local people, places and events. Alan Merrick now lives in Lakeville. For years, he lived in Apple Valley and his daughter was a star with a soccer club called Bangu that featured top players from the cities we serve. Several months back, we met with the owners of a company called School Space Media. The company sells ads on electronic signs erected at high school sports venues. You’ve probably seen them at basketball and football games and track meets. The company decided to enter that business after doing some research that showed more people attend school sports than attend all the local pro games combined. So the Alan Merrick story is our kind of story at Sun Thisweek. He’s a Dakota

County resident who starred professionally and has coached locally in a sport boys and girls play in numbers that exceed any other parcipation sport. It’s true that the Kicks and Strikers failed as businesses, but the Eagan Wildcats will be on the pitch next fall providing good sport for players and good entertainment for the soccer moms and dads of Eagan. And in July, thousands of soccer players from south of the river will spend a hot week at the National Sports Center in Blaine for the USA Cup, the largest youth soccer tournament in the country. Now you’ve got my reasons for putting the Alan Merrick story on the front page. It’s a good story about a local man who will be coaching a team in the largest participation sport. I might not have been able to get soccer stories on the front page of the Star Tribune, but at a community newspaper, we measure the worth of stories by their effect on local communities rather than tickets sold at Target Field or the Metrodome.

Residents urged to participate in National Day of Prayer by Sharon Auldrich

Guest Columnist

Special to Sun Thisweek

On May 3, thousands of National Day of Prayer observances will be held across the nation. From morning sunrise services in the Virgin Islands to setting-sun evening concerts of prayer in Hawaii, a huge wave of prayer will flow across this nation. A great variety of events mark this day. Small groups of individuals gather around flagpoles, early-morning prayer breakfasts are held and huge state capitol gatherings all honor the fact we have the freedom to gather and pray. This year will mark the 61st annual National Day of Prayer. It was instituted by a unanimous joint resolution of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President

Harry S. Truman in 1952. In 1988 President Ronald Reagan and the Congress amended the law to designate the first Thursday in May as the day for the annual national observance. This act of Congress is intended to allow all people of faith to pray to the God of their understanding. It allows people of all theological and philosophical views to organize and participate in activities that are constant with their own beliefs. All who wish to pray for this nation are encouraged to do so in any way deemed appropriate and respectable.

As a state coordinator, I have volunteered to work with the National Day of Prayer Task Force. It works to prepare theme materials and give unified direction for those who wish to plan events consistent with the Judeo-Christian expression of prayer. All the NDP task force people who work hard to organize events are volunteers who pay for the related costs out of their own pockets. They do this out of love and respect for this country that has a history of being birthed in prayer. The very first act of the First Continental Congress in 1774 was for all 55 delegates to kneel in prayer. It lasted two hours, and they read the entire 35th Psalm. This prayer time gave them the strength

and courage to go on and make decisions that would set the course and process of forming this new nation. Our nation was birthed in prayer, and I believe it will continue to be a strong nation only if faithful people who believe the God of the Bible will pray! God still hears and answers prayer. Please do not assume the privilege of having a National Day of Prayer will always be here. We see privileges and rights being taken away at an alarming rate. Please look for NDP observances in your area and join in, or if there are none planned, then please plan one. Sharon Auldrich of Burnsville is the Minnesota state coordinator for the National Day of Prayer.

Letters Correction Due to incorrect information provided to Sun Thisweek, it was reported that Burnsville City Manager Craig Ebeling had not been in contact with some local legislators regarding the proposed voter ID bill. After the story ran March 23, Ebeling wrote the newspaper and said he has been in contact by email and through conversations with Rep. Pam Myhra, R-Burnsville, regarding the bill.

Debate over speedway should be fair

Vote no on the marriage amendment To the editor: If passed, the marriage amendment ballot question threatens my religious beliefs. As a Unitarian-Universalist, I believe marriage is a fundamental freedom. I believe marriage is based on love, respect, commitment, and spiritual connection with a partner. Some of you recall how you felt when your parents rejected your choice of whom to marry. Now imagine how you would feel if the state government told you whom you could or could not marry. We can all agree that marriage is about love. I have heard some folks say that government should get out of the way of people’s personal freedoms. Here is your opportunity – vote no on the marriage amendment.

To the editor: I always hear the negative impacts of everything, from politics to the anti-Minnesota Speedway Park petitions. I would like the positives of the speedway proposed to be built in Elko New Market put alongside the negatives of the speedway and let the people decide by a vote. Most of all be equal on both sides, print the facts Bill Randall from both sides and be fair. Eagan One-sidedness, blame and pointing fingers need to stay elsewhere, not in Elko New Market.

Week (April 15-21) recognizes the importance of volunteering. I am one of those volunteers with the organization Kids ’n Kinship. It serves the communities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount. It is a friendship mentoring program matching adult volunteers with children 5-16 in need of a supportive relationship. We meet with our mentees weekly with activities which are fun for both. Four times a year all the mentors and mentees meet together: for swimming and basketball and lunch at the Burnsville YMCA; for rollerskating; for bowling; and at the beautiful YMCA Camp Streefland. Other times free tickets are available to the Twins, theater and concerts. My mentee and I have attended several plays, attended a Twins game, and a University of Minnesota gymnastic meet. Right around home, we have cooked meals together, biked, cross country skied, played disc golf, had fun at a water park and read several books. Throughout Kids ’n Kinship’s 40 years it has matched over 2,000 children with adults. At this

Study should precede any changes to Met Council by Don Heinzman Sun Thisweek

In most legislative sessions, some senator or legislator is critical of the Metropolitan Council and wants to see some changes. The Met Council is an appointed body that operates the bus, light rail and commuter rail systems, collects and cleans wastewater, is the regional housing and redevelopment authority, plans and funds regional parks and plans and guides development of the region. This year the criticism is coming from the Scott County Board of Commissioners that is complaining about the way the council approved the transportation plan put together by its 33-member Transportation Advisory Board. There is a bill authored by Rep. Michael Beard, R-Shakopee, that would do away with the 33-member board and replace it with a 24-member regional transportation governance planning board, independent of the Metro Council. Beard’s idea also is to have the transit system operations and planning removed from the Metropolitan Council and run by a new transportation commission. Transportation planning would be done by the new regional transportation governance board with two county commissioners from each of the seven counties, 16 elected township and city officials and some citizen members. Beard says his bill does not have a number and has not been introduced. He says his idea to change how metropolitan transportation is governed and operated as a starting point for the Legislature to discuss and perhaps make changes next year. The legislator’s strategy is consistent with the position taken by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (Metro Cities), which is made up of many cities affected by the Metro Council’s decisions. It recommends that any systematic changes to the governing structure should not be considered until a comprehensive analysis of the region’s future is undertaken. In addition, Metro Cities supports the idea that regional level operations and planning functions should remain as integrated functions. In its latest study, Metro Cities is not asking for major changes of the council’s op-

erations. It does recommend more local involvement in how the council members are appointed. This is not the year to be tinkering with the Metropolitan Council, whose performance generally is accepted by most elected officials of cities in the seven-county area. Beard’s concerns should become a part of an overall study of the council’s governance and operations authority, and he is wise not to introduce the bill during this session when legislators are in a mood to adjourn as soon as possible. In the past, the council has withstood most of the challenges or made changes to respond to the criticism. There was a time when the council was under attack for taking over functions local governments, including counties, could not do without having a council that made decisions on what’s best for the seven-county metropolitan area. At that time a big concern was that the council members and the chair were appointed by the governor rather than being elected. The argument for the appointed council is it makes decisions without regard to horse-trading votes, which too often happens in the elected decision-making process. That seems to have won out over the position that an elected council is more accountable, which of course is true. Most people are not aware of the Met Council’s services even though some directly affect everyone living in the seven-county area. Don Heinzman is chairman of the ECM Editorial Board.

Sawed-off shotgun discovered during arrest Police say a sawed-off shotgun was discovered among the belongings of a man arrested in Apple Valley last week for outstanding warrants. Derrik A. McGill Jr., 20, of Lonsdale, has been charged with possession of a short-barreled shotgun, a felony, after the firearm was allegedly found in his duffel bag during an inventory of his belongings at the Dakota County Law Enforcement Center. Sometimes referred to as “street sweepers” and noted for their concealability and effectiveness at short range, sawed-off shotguns are illegal for personal use in Minnesota and other states.

Mature Lifestyles

Workshop aims to show everyone has a story to tell Participants to turn oral histories into timeless tales by Emily Hedges Special to Sun Thisweek

Remember a time you were embarrassed, or a time you failed? What job did you love? What was your best friend like? Helping memories emerge that might not have seen the light of day in decades, or ever, is the purpose behind the city of Eagan’s new workshop, Life Stories: Memories into Memoirs. “We’re not trying to write whole life stories. It’s about capturing memories,” said David Coward, storyteller, genealogist and librarian who will teach the workshop. “None of us is here forever. Our stories will continue to live if they are in writing.” Coward has worked in public and academic libraries for over 20 years, the last five years with the Dakota County Library system at the Wescott branch in Eagan. He is primarily a children’s librarian but has a passion for storytelling for all ages. “Children are regularly given the opportunity to hear and tell stories, but adults are not,” Coward said. “I approached Loudi (Rivamonte, recreation supervisor for the City of Eagan), and her enthusiasm was infectious.” Rivamonte knew from surveys and feedback that residents, especially seniors, would be open to a workshop like this. “Many people have no idea where to start. They have collections of things, with no idea how to go from oral to written, or written to oral,” she said. Finding the right prompt is the way to get someone talking. This is how Coward hopes to help students access specific memories and find a particular story to tell. “Most folks already re-

I want to encourage the ones you haven’t heard before,” he said. “How many have ever been asked, ‘Grandma, tell us about your life?’ It’s better to start with, ‘Tell me about the home you grew up in,’ ” for example. Coward already teaches a two-hour basic course with the library on how to use online resources to uncover family history and genealogy. “The census figures and other documents are like the skeleton, with names, places and dates, etc.,” he said. “The stories are the part

that flesh it out and bring our ancestors to life.” The structure of the workshop will be informal. “I want to create a space where folks can tell their stories in a safe setting. The intent of the course is to get people comfortable with it,” said Coward. The two-part workshop will begin May 14 when participants are encouraged to recall and share story images. Coward will then ask students to take those ideas and comments received during class home and put them into writing to be shared during the May 21 class. For anyone who is hesi-

Troubled waters ahead for timber bridges Rotting a concern by Laura Adelmann Sun Thisweek

Dakota County’s timber bridges are slowly rotting from the inside out and need replacement, but funding for the work is drying up. The problem is apparent in Dakota County’s southern townships, where all timber bridges need to be replaced within the next decade, said Todd Howard, assistant county engineer, to Dakota County commissioners at a Tuesday committee meeting. He called the condition of Dakota County’s timber bridges a concern, and said bond funds have been directed to state projects, including the Lowry bridge.

Howard said nine timber bridges in the county require a load restriction posting, an indication of the bridge’s strength and structural soundness, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The bridge on County State Aid Highway 46 in Marshan Township is classified as functionally obsolete, because its narrow lanes do not meet today’s minimum federal clearance requirements for a new bridge, Howard said. The state of Minnesota’s timber bridges has raised the concerns of the Metropolitan Inter-County Association, which has made requesting bridge bonding

part of its 2012 legislative platform. According to MICA, local governments oversee 75 percent of the state’s 14,700 bridges. It stated that counties with growing populations, like Dakota, have bridges that may be structurally sound, but are no longer capable of handling increased traffic. Most of the state’s 1,631 timber bridges were built between 1940 and the 1970s, and 66 are in the metropolitan area. Timber bridges are difficult to inspect, because internal rotting is not always apparent from an outside inspection, Howard said. In 2010, a section of timber bridge in Nobles County near Brewster collapsed during an overlay project. MICA is calling on the

Legislature to allow those bridges to be eligible for funding through the state’s bridge bonding program. Howard encouraged commissioners to discuss

the concern with legislators as well. “We absolutely need bonding to continue,” he said. “The township bridge account will in no way keep

Some churches do, while others don’t Area congregations split on allowing alcohol, gambling at their events by Laura Adelmann Sun Thisweek

Some Dakota County religious organizations fundraise with events that include alcohol and gambling, while others refrain from those activities, citing concerns about the potential for harm and liability. The St. Paul Minneapolis Archdiocese allows member Catholic churches to establish their own policies regarding alcohol and gambling, Archdiocese spokesman Jim Accurso said. “Individual parishes need to follow local municipal and risk management guidelines and meet their requirements for dispensing liquor (and) providing alcohol and games of chance,” Accurso said. Rock music, alcohol and raffles are part of the Lakeville All Saints Church “All Saints Rocks” fund-

raiser held at the church this weekend. “I have been to virtually every one of these events that have happened since I have been here and I have never once seen a situation out of control,” All Saints Church Rev. Tom Wilson said. St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Farmington, conducts annual fundraisers that have included raffles, bingo and a bar that includes mixed-drinks. The Farmington City Council recently approved the church’s application for a gambling event permit and a temporary on-sale liquor license in the church’s social hall for its May 2 spring fundraiser. “It has been my experience that we do not overserve, said Eric Larson, director of music at St. Michael’s. Mary Rousseau, five-

year chair of the St. John Neumann Catholic Church’s annual congregational picnic, said any idea of including alcohol and gambling at their Eagan church’s social events would “get shot down” by the parish council. “It’s definitely not a good message,” she said. “There’s so many negative things that come around with alcohol, and so many negative things that happen with drinking and driving. The church has no business being a part of that environment.” Faithful Shepherd Catholic School in Eagan annually hosts “Septemberfest,” a large outdoor music festival billed as the “Biggest Rock the Flock Party in the Burbs,” and has included “happy hour” specials on alcoholic beverages. The concert portion of the event is open to the community, ages 21 and up, and

While the events are promoted through the gala and their proceeds go to the church, Wilson said the events are “not a church activity” because they are held at parishioners’ homes. “Those are private parties people are sponsoring,” Wilson said. He added the party boards are a long-standing fundraising custom in the church that offer an opportunity for parishioners to socialize in the comfort of their own homes. In the five years Wilson

Eagan police Chief Jim McDonald said few problems have been reported related to the event. Police received about 30 noise complaints in 2008 that were resolved by repositioning the stage to face away from the lone residential development in the primarily industrial area. In 2009, a 27-year-old Apple Valley woman was arrested after she and two others began pushing and dumping beer on each other in the crowd near center-stage, according to an Eagan police report. In conjunction with the All Saints gala, people are invited to pay the church $25 per-person to attend themed parties hosted at parishioners’ homes.

has headed the All Saints Church and school, he said there have been no complaints about alcohol or gambling at the events the church hosts. He said they will review fundraising activities once complete, but anticipates no changes to continue their fundraising traditions or party boards. “It’s a custom they’ve had for a long time,” he said.

Other churches

Catholic denominations are not the only churches that serve alcohol and/or allow gambling at churchsponsored events. At Nativity Episcopal Church, Burnsville, an annual adults-only gala that in 2011 was themed “Island in the Sun” included a bar and raffle. Items auctioned at that event included wine and beer. Saints Martha and Mary Episcopal Church, Eagan, offers wine and beer at its “Oktoberfest” event, said Warden John Waedell. He said they do not consider alcohol taboo, noting, “There was wine served at the Last Supper.” He added that alcohol and gambling are not activities their church events emphasize. “We have families who bring teenagers,” he said. “Everyone is expected to be on their best behavior and have a good time.” Several churches limit the number of alcoholic beverages served per-person at their events. Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley held an “Oktoberfest” worship and dinner service in October that included a beverage ticket for one serving of wine or beer, as is church policy, according to Jennifer Maxwell, operations director. She added the church does not allow gambling. Laurel Gaard, business See churches, 11A

Mark Bobnick listened to Doc Severinsen constantly while growing up in Burnsville. Bobnick’s father kept the legendary trumpeter and “Tonight Show” bandleader in frequent rotation on the family turntable. At 34, Bobnick is old enough to have watched the final years of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” He idolized Severinsen while learning trumpet himself and becoming a star of the Burnsville High School band department. Now, fresh off a 10-state concert tour as a member of Severinsen’s band, Bobnick is happy to report that proximity to the 84-year-old legend only enhanced his regard. “He stayed in all the same hotels as us, rode the same buses as us,” said Bobnick, the son of Dick and Hilery Bobnick of Burnsville. “He was with us 24/7. He was one of the nicest men I’ve ever met.” Bobnick was part of a Twin Cities-based crew – four trumpet players, three trombonists and a pianist – that backed Severinsen on his “Once More With Feeling” big-band tour in February and March. Bobnick said he did 14 concerts with Doc and the band over 17 days. The two will be reunited on April 22 at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, where Bobnick will rejoin alumni from the Minnesota Youth Symphonies at their 40th anniversary concert. Severinsen is on the bill as guest artist. “Given the fact that he’s churches, from 10A administrator at Easter Lutheran Church, Eagan, said they do not oppose adults enjoying moderate gambling and alcohol consumption, but do not offer those activities at church functions in part because of liability concerns. “We would be quite concerned about repercussions to the congregation,” she said. Gaard added that no alcohol is allowed on church premises except for Communion wine and Easter Lutheran does not hold any type of fundraisers at the church. “We’ve never done an event with gambling, and I can’t imagine we would,” she said. Rosemount United Methodist Church has a policy against any alcohol on its property, and serves grape juice for Communion, said Tami Luckhardt, operations director with the church. She said the Methodist Church has an official policy prohibiting gambling in its churches.

one of the top classical and jazz trumpet players of all time and he’s basically a living legend, spending 17 days with him was just amazing,” Bobnick said. Bobnick has turned some heads himself in his music career. He played in the prestigious Minnesota Youth Symphonies for five years after auditioning in 1991. The 1996 Burnsville High graduate won the band department’s Louis Armstrong and John Philip Sousa awards and made the All-State band program his junior and senior years. He earned his bachelor’s degree in music education at the University of Minnesota and his master’s in jazz at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. Next came a detour to West Point, where Bobnick served not as an Army cadet but as a trumpeter with the West Point Band’s Jazz Knights ensemble. “There was an opening,” said Bobnick, who served as an Army staff sergeant from June 2003 to October 2007. “It’s a premier jazz ensemble, one of the Army’s premier bands. You audition and go to basic training. They paid my entire student loan amounts. It was a great experience, being in New York and traveling.” After returning to the Twin Cities, Bobnick taught high school at the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists from 2008 to 2011. He taught classroom music, music theory, music history and jazz history while also directing small student groups that included a jazz combo. Many of the churches that fundraise with parties that include alcohol are also locations where alcohol addiction recovery groups meet. Anna Ostenso, director of faith formation at Nativity Episcopal Church, said she sees no conflict that the recovery groups rent their building for meetings. “We don’t think it’s bad at all,” she said. “ I think we should model responsible behavior.” She added that the

Trumpeter Mark Bobnick, right, was photographed while on tour with his idol, Doc Severinsen. “One of the joys of that was we won the Eau Claire Jazz Festival in 2011 and 2010,” Bobnick said. These days he’s working as assistant store manager and The Trumpet Shop manager at Schmitt Music in Brooklyn Center. Bobnick and his wife, Tina, live in Mounds View with their 17-month-old daughter Olivia and daughter Regan, who was born this month. Bobnick can be seen around town playing with the Power of 10 band and others. His credits include the Chanhassen Dinner Theater Orchestra, the Jazz MN Big Band, the Cedar Avenue Big Band and the Wolverines Big Band. Bobnick is so connected and respected, the Severinsen gig fell into his lap. “Doc has had a very strong relationship with musicians in the Twin Cities for a very long time,” Bobnick explained. Severinsen

knows Michael Nelson, a member of the Hornheads horn section – which has recorded and toured with Prince – and a top regional booking agent. When Severinsen asked Nelson to assemble a brass section for his tour, one of the players Nelson called was Bobnick. “He (Severinsen) said it was one of the greatest bands he’s ever played with,” Bobnick said. “The night he said that, I’ll never forget it.” The “Once More With Feeling” tour was indeed portrayed as Severinsen’s farewell to the road, Bobnick said. “It supposedly is,” he said. “But he said numerous times, ‘Why don’t we do this again, and I’ll call you all next year?’ ”

church responsibly locks up all alcohol when there is not an event. Mike Swecker, pastor at Hosanna! Church, Lakeville, also oversees the church’s Prayer and Freedom Ministries, and expressed concern about church activities that include alcohol and gambling. “I help people avoid such entrapments,” Swecker said. He said he regularly sees families torn apart and losing their homes because of gambling and addiction.

“That impacts the community, because now we have a displaced family … the kids need some kind of placement,” he said.

merrick, from 1A soccer coach Mark Obarski mentioned the opening in the boys program and said it was something Merrick might want to consider. “I agreed with him,” Merrick said. “I thought it would be good to try it.” He also is coach of the University of Minnesota men’s club team, which has several players from the southern suburbs. He coached the Minnesota Strikers indoor and outdoor teams in the 1980s. Merrick has been director of soccer development at the National Sports Center in Blaine and has worked with a number of local clubs, including the Lakeville Soccer Association. He continues to run his own soccer training company, called Kicks Best. Merrick, who was named to the Eagan position last week, was scheduled to meet with Wildcats players and parents on Wednesday. He has not yet hired a staff

because he is still talking with last year’s assistant coaches. “I’m new to the program,” he said. “I have not seen Eagan’s players play. I have to learn about the players, and they have to learn about me. But I’m coming in with no preconceived notions.” He said his basic soccer philosophy is “attack with four and defend with six.” Beyond that, the Eagan players’ abilities will dictate the style of play. Because he was a defender during his playing career, Merrick said he understands that some will assume that he will coach a rigid, conservative style. He said he hopes to prove that assumption to be incorrect. “I believe offense comes from good defense, and I want us to play some exciting soccer because I think that should be an integral part of the high school game,” he said. As he started his coaching career, Merrick made

tapes of games he pulled in from all over the world on an old satellite dish. He said he still has them and refers to them frequently. “They were games from England, Germany, South America,” he said. “As I watched them, I saw how great players tried to score goals, and I’ll try to bring that to our high school players. I think we can show them aspects of the game they haven’t seen before.” Merrick played three games for England’s Under-17 national team in 1968, then played on two professional clubs before joining the Kicks. Merrick played for the Kicks from 1976 to 1979, and again for 12 games in 1981. The team was runner-up in the North American Soccer League in 1976. During the Kicks’ heyday in the late 1970s, the team drew large crowds to Metropolitan Stadium for home games. The league also gained a high profile as top players came to the

United States to play in the summer (the NASL season coincided with the off-season for many of the world’s best leagues). Merrick wanted to see what it was like. He moved into an Eagan apartment building that housed a number of Kicks players. Before long, he decided he wanted to stay. “I was coming over for three months and had no intention of staying in the U.S.,” he said. “I came over with two children, ages 3 and 1. It was going to be a vacation for my family and a working holiday for me. “After six weeks, I called my agent and told him I was going to stay in America. I called my real estate agent and told him to sell my house.” He’s spread his soccer knowledge in Minnesota ever since.

Apple Valley woman charged with identity theft An Apple Valley woman who was employed as a temp at a financial marketing company is accused of stealing a client’s credit card information to make a payment on her car loan. Rhonda M. Mitchell, 39, has been charged in Dakota County District Court with identity theft and credit card fraud, both felonies. According to the criminal complaint, Mitchell worked in December 2011 as a collections representative at a financial marketing company in Eagan, and on Dec. 21 took a credit card payment over the phone from a man living outside Minnesota during which she was given his credit card number, expiration date and security code. On Jan. 6, the man’s credit card was used to make a $905.50 car loan payment through Security Auto Loan in New Hope, Minn.

Security Auto Loan confirmed with police the car loan payment was made by Mitchell. Under questioning, Mitchell admitted she was a couple of months behind in her car loan payments, but denied using the victim’s credit card information, claiming instead that the $905.50 payment was made by a friend, the complaint said. Mitchell was unable to provide investigators with a last name or address for the friend, according to the complaint, and though she persisted in denying that she used the victim’s credit card, she agreed to make restitution. If convicted of both charges, Mitchell faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines. —Andrew Miller

Criminal charges have been filed after a traffic stop in Rosemount, which police say turned up cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. According to the criminal complaint, the Rosemount police officer who pulled over 24-year-old Raymond M. Hessler of Inver Grove Heights on Feb. 23 smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, and after another officer arrived on the scene the vehicle was searched. Officers found three baggies containing about 40 grams of marijuana behind the center console and under a cup holder, along with a digital scale and a marijuana pipe, the complaint states. Police say crime lab testing revealed a mixture of cocaine and THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, on the digital scale. Hessler has been charged with a fifth-degree controlled substance crime for the cocaine allegedly found on the scale. If convicted of that felony-level charge, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. He’s also been charged with possession of marijuana in a motor vehicle and failure to produce proof of insurance, both misdemeanors, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia, a petty misdemeanor. —Andrew Miller

Rosemount, Empire greenway plans open for comment Rosemount area residents can review and comment on draft master plans for two new greenway corridors – the Rosemount and Vermillion Highlands greenways – at an open house from 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, April 25, at the Rosemount Community Center, 13885 South Robert Trail. This is the final open house in the planning process. The plans address alignment, design character, trailheads and other access points, habitat res-

toration and interpretive themes of the greenways. The Vermillion Highlands greenway will run from Lebanon Hills Regional Park to the Vermillion River and the Rosemount greenway will run from Lebanon Hills Regional Park to Spring Lake Park Reserve and the Mississippi River Regional Trail. The two greenways are part of a planned 200mile countywide greenway network. When complete, they will connect residents to

regional and local destinations such as parks, commercial areas and schools. Dakota County, according to its press release, is leading a national movement to transform simple trails into multifunctional corridors that provide recreation, nonmotorized transportation, habitat value, and water quality improvement. The draft master plans are also available for review and comment at www.hkgi.com/projects/ dakota.
