Haunted Woods Trail scares up fun again
Raceway Park disputes Race for Hunger numbers
Businesses and community groups invited to become involved by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
As the calendar flips over to October, many in Rosemount turn their attention to Halloween and one of the town’s biggest events of the year. The volunteer-run Haunted Woods Trail in the city’s Central Park typically attracts up to 3,000 people in virtually any kind of weather Minnesota can dish out this time of year. This year’s event will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, with people urged to line up at the starting point of the trail at the parkand-ride lot across South Robert Trail/ Highway 3 from the Steeple Center and Robert Trail Library. For those unfamiliar with the event, children and their parents are invited to walk along the trail, which is decorated with props and accompanied by music, and collect candy from people along the trail. The event is family friendly and not intended to be scary to its youngest attendees, according to event chairperson and Rosemount resident Mike Bouchard. The idea behind it is to provide a safe and fun way for children to go trick-ortreating for a holiday that has increasingly had more “scary� than “fun� events planned, Bouchard said. While the trail is entertaining, it also has turned into a good cause. People are

While the event is organized each year by its volunteer committee members, there is opportunity for businesses and individuals to become involved.

Track president vows not to work with Barlau until remedies made by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
There is more disagreement about how little the Sept. 9 Race for Hunger made in revenue to distribute to foodshelves. Raceway Park president and owner John Hellendrung addressed some of the claims Click Club USA president Dennis Barlau made in the initial Sept. 23 Thisweek story regarding the Race for Hunger fundraiser for local food shelves, such as 360 Communities and the Emergency Food Network. The event, organized by Lakeville-based for-profit company Click Club USA, was designed to feature mayors and media members racing against each other to raise money for local foodshelves. Elected officials from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount all raced in the event. It was the second such event this year organized by Barlau to end up making little or no money for intended beneficiaries. Citing the rental agreement, Hellendrung said: “Raceway will not host future events promoted by Barlau until $7,500 is donated to the food shelves per his agreement.� Among Hellendrung’s differing views are the specifics behind the cost to rent his racetrack, tickets sold and additional event expenses. Hellendrung charged Barlau $7,500 to rent the track for the actual fundraising race. The additional $2,500 Barlau paid the racetrack was “applied to a standalone event in which Barlau brought out his own private group to drive the race cars,� Hellendrung said. The Sept. 23 Thisweek story discussed this, but did not have the confirmed amount for each charge. The $7,500 rental charge carried with it a host of services required to operate the race, Hellendrung said. This included insurance for the event, an ambulance with two attendants and six track officials to assist in getting the competitors in and out of the cars. “I also provided a flag man, track announcer and trash pickup and removal,� Hellendrung said. There were other liabilities, too. “There was over $1,500 in damage to the track cars and race tires,� Hellendrung said. Raceway also donated the use of the cars, whose rental Hellendrung said would have cost at least $10,000 given the number of races completed. “This was not a profitable event for Raceway,� he said.

Focus on fire prevention Apple Valley fire stations host open houses by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Do you know how to operate a fire extinguisher? Or when to replace your smoke detectors? How about where to safely install a carbon monoxide detector in your home? Apple Valley firefighters will be happy to talk with you and your family about these and other safety issues at the open houses ses they’re hosting Oct. 1113. T h e city’s fire department holds the open houses at its three fire stations each year as part
of national Fire Prevention Week, which commemorates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Remember that one? “Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicks over the can and starts Chicago on fire,� explained Apple Valley Fire Chief Nealon Thompson. At the open houses residents can talk with firefighters, practice operating a fire extinguisher, and learn how to best escape a smoke-filled house, Thompson said. Apple Valley police officers and Allina Ambulance personnel will be on hand as well. There’s also plenty to do for kids. They can check out the fire trucks and try on firefighters’ gear, and there will be an See Fire Prevention, 16A
Hellendrung and Barlau differ on the number of tickets actually sold for the event. This ties into revenue claims: Barlau told Thisweek after the event that $1 from each of ticket sold would go to participating food shelves. Initially, the promise was as much as $9, according to Click Club USA’s website. Ticket sales expectations were also a part of the rental agreement for the track. “Track rental was based on Barlau’s promise to fill the facility and introduce new customers to Raceway,� Hellendrung said. “All costs were agreed on prior to the launching of the event.� He said Barlau told him the Race for Hunger in June at Raceway that featured Scott County mayors sold 5,550 tickets and the Sept. 9 Race for Hunger featuring mayors from counties such as Hennepin and Dakota sold 2,500 tickets. Hellendrung said the first event had 350 attendees and the second 250. Barlau told Thisweek previously that the Sept. 9 event sold about 700 tickets and the June event sold 2,600. Barlau said that about $700 would go to foodshelves. He explained that he gave away tickets to women’s shelters, among other organizations, which he said accounts for some of the disparity between the 700 and 2,500-ticketssold claims. Barlau repeated a few other reasons he had for the race failing to raise money: Lakeville City Council Member Matt See Race for Hunger, 7A

Members of four employee unions of the U. S. Postal Service used the sidewalks along Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway to deliver a message to 2nd District U. S. Rep. John Kline on Sept. 27. By rallying near Kline’s district office, the workers were trying to pressure the Lakeville Republican to sign onto a bill that they say addresses the financial crisis facing the Postal Service. The unions say the Postal Service is required to pre-fund 75 years’ worth of future retiree health benefits over the space of 10 years. No other federal agency is forced to pre-fund such benefits, especially on such an aggressive schedule, the unions claim.

An Eagan woman, her two children and the family dog escaped a house fire in the early morning hours Thursday, Sept. 22, at 1314 Wilderness Run, despite the home not having working smoke alarms. While the home received significant damage, Eagan Fire Department officials are finding a teaching moment from the blaze. The home did not have working smoke alarms since it was undergoing a renovation project that started in May and was expected to be completed in two weeks. While the home’s hardwired system had to be shut down because of the renovation work, fire officials remind people that temporary battery-operated smoke detectors should be used in such instances. The woman told fire officials that she woke shortly after midnight after she heard a noise that sounded like a doorbell, according to a fire department press release. When she went upstairs she found the kitchen heavily involved with fire. It is suspected that the doorbell rang when the wire shorted during the fire. The woman and her children, who were staying in the basement due to the project, attempted to go back to the main level to exit the home, but the fire had spread through the main level. They escaped through a basement patio door and went to a neighbor’s house to call 911. First arriving units reported heavy fire coming out of the windows of the home on all four sides. The cause of the fire was blamed on oil-soaked
fire officials believe their presence contributed to the fire’s quick spread. Fire officials urge people to use special waste cans for oil-soaked rags. These containers allow air to flow around the rags and dissipate heat. The waste cans should not have plastic liners and should be emptied

Opinion ECM Editorial Homestead credit turns out to be a political football While the Minnesota Legislature, controlled by Republicans, boasted it did not raise taxes last session, it eliminated the market value homestead credit, which could increase most homeowners’ property taxes by varying amounts on taxes payable next year. For 44 years, the state has partnered with local government in giving relief to property taxpayers in the form of a credit. That credit was then used to offset a portion of the property tax. Unless city councils, school boards and county boards cut spending in the amount of the credit, almost every homeowner will pay all or part of the eliminated credit. It is unrealistic for local gov-
ernments to cut expenses to make up the loss of the credit to protect property taxpayers. Even if local tax levies were not increased by one dollar, the elimination of the tax credit could result in a higher property tax payable next year. That deduction could vary depending on the value of the property. Those with a home valued at $76,000 or less will not have to pay more while those with homes over that amount, up to $414,000, will pay more depending on the value of their property. What may not be realized is commercial and industrial property taxpayers also will be hit with the loss of the credit, because lower-valued homestead properties
under the law will be excluded, thus lowering the tax base and increasing the rate. All this comes about as local governments are struggling to make ends meet, already feeling the loss of local government aid and declining property values. The Legislature cleverly will lay the blame on local governments, saying they, not the Legislature, determine the amount of local taxes. In effect, the state government is saving $261 million a year in cutting out the credit and forcing local property taxpayers to pick up the tab. Initiated by Republican legislators, removing the homestead credit became a part of the settle-
ment that brought an end to the government shutdown. When the deal eliminating the credit was first approved by both houses of the Legislature, Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed it. While it was signed into law by him, he said he did not agree with it. Republican leaders say they didn’t increase property taxes; they merely reformed the system, claiming the state never did fully reimburse the credit. They contend not fully reimbursing the credit resulted in local governments never knowing what the credit reimbursement would be, making budgeting difficult. Two DFL legislators, Ann Lenczewski and Paul Marquart, will introduce legislation to repeal
the homestead credit elimination for 2012. Property taxpayers will have an opportunity to learn what their projected increase will be for 2012 in two months when Truth in Taxation statements will be sent. Each county is obligated to schedule a Truth in Taxation hearing. No doubt, taxpayers will complain, which should bring about the repeal of this unwarranted measure and will refute the claim that the Legislature did not increase taxes for next year.

Letters Fun Foods Catering is alive and well To the editor: Personally, and on behalf of the Lakeville Art Festival, I would like to extend a big thank you to Doris LaMott Hoel, owner of Fun Foods Catering. For the past three years Doris and her team have catered the evening Awards Ceremony. This is, and continues to be, one of the highlights of our event for the artists and sponsors that attend. Not only has Doris been an “in-kind� sponsor offering a tremendous discount in support of the arts, she per-
sonally manages every fine detail of catering for the evening. I must say that Doris “caters� in the most absolute full capacity of the word’s definition. She works to understand the mood that her customer wishes to portray and then fully creates, in our case, a mood of camaraderie and festivity. She advises on how to set the tone of the event, from table and chair placement, to traffic flow, color scheme and quite frankly, her work in food presentation is a work of art itself. She pairs a variety of selected foods that are mouth-watering to the smell and melt-in-your-mouth de-
licious to the taste. She is a one-of-a-kind caterer that takes each job personally and builds a comfortable working relationship with her clients. Recently, I read an article in Thisweek section that portrayed a very negative feel and seemed to indicate that Fun Foods Catering is no longer in business. I am here to say that not only is Fun Foods Catering alive and well, Doris is a caterer that should be considered a first choice option for your event needs.
Mad about road, sewer work
To the editor: I live in Burnsville and had my road repaved and sewer upgraded this summer. I am being charged almost $4,000 for this. I neither wanted nor needed this. I certainly don’t want to pay for it. I have not been able to attend any meetings about this (I work in the evenings) and emails to the mayor and City Council have been ignored. I have a few questions about these projects. SHELLY CARNEY Why are my taxes not Director, Lakeville Art Fes- paying for this?

Why are they doing them if they can’t afford them? Why are they doing so many at one time and not spreading them out so they can afford them? Where am I supposed to come up with $4,000?

The total amount the city will collect from the residents of our road will be roughly 1 percent of the total budget of the project (if I’m reading the numbers correctly on our assessment notice).

Library didn’t want new DVD to replace lost material
To the editor: I just want to say, “Shame on Dakota County library!� Recently I had the unpleasant experience of losing a children’s library DVD, trying to do the right thing when I couldn’t find it – I replaced it with a brand new, still in the wrapper copy of the same DVD. Boy, was I shocked when they didn’t want to take it! Three librarians were standing there arguing over whether or not that was “allowed� and quoted a “policy� that tech support didn’t feel like adding a barcode to a single item. I asked them to check. Finally, one agreed she would ask her supervisor and they took the new DVD and the old case and said they’d get back to me. When I got home I tried to find this policy, or really any policy on what happens when you are unfortunate enough to lose or otherwise damage a library DVD. There is no policy! Clearly, there needs to be one and it needs to be clearly displayed near the DVDs and also available on the website. After I got back I went online and talked with the reference librarian and asked who I could contact to let them know about the problem; she didn’t know. Could I contact someone? No, they don’t know who you would contact. Libraries are a public service and they need to be run with much more professionalism. In today’s economy, more and more families (hopefully) will take advantage of library services. In my family, the majority of the free DVDs we are checking out are educational DVDs about careers, science and space for my 8-year-old who is seriously struggling in school, I’m happy if he will watch or read anything

Kline’s job fair was a success To the editor: Last week at the Eagan Community Center, U.S. Rep. John Kline hosted a career and jobs fair. More than 70 employers with available jobs, as well as organizations providing job search services to job seekers, were on hand to provide direct assistance to Minnesotans who are among the 15 million Americans looking for a job. I would like to thank the more than 1,200 job seekers and job providers who attended and helped make the event a success. Kline was pleased to be able to facilitate interactions between job seekers and privatesector job creators from the health care, technology, financial, and retail industries, as well as educational institutions and service organizations. Throughout the summer, Kline heard from Minnesota job creators, workers, and too many frustrated unemployed Americans who want to get America working again. Like Kline, they want to see positive solutions that put the nation’s fiscal house in order and remove Washington’s regulatory roadblocks to job creation. In Minnesota and in Washington, he will continue working toward that end. We look forward to hosting additional career and jobs fairs in the future. If you would like to be notified about the next jobs fair, please visit Kline’s website at http://kline.house.gov and click on the “Contact John� link, or call his Minnesota office at (952) 8081213.

Most homeowners to see lower District 196 taxes by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Most homeowners can expect a smaller tax bill this year from the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. On Sept. 26, the School Board unanimously approved a payable 2012 property tax levy limit of $75.8 million, which is 3.38 percent less than the payable 2011 levy. “This will be good for our taxpayers,� School Board Member Rob Duchscher said. The decision was prompted by news that District 196 will receive additional state aid in the future. The state promised the district an extra $50 per pupil this school year and another $50 per pupil in 2012-13. This amounts to $1.5 million each year in additional revenue, Finance Director Jeff Solomon said. District 196 will receive
$2.96 million in compensatory funding starting in 2012-13. The state Legislature passed the one-time money for 20 districts with the largest enrollment aside from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. District 196 is expected to receive the largest sum of this money, Solomon said. The district also expects to receive $1.63 million in literacy aid for 2012-13. This aid is based on the literacy achievement of third- and fourth-graders. The elimination of the market value homestead credit is another reason the district decided to lower its property tax levy, Solomon said. MVHC previously provided a credit on some homeowners’ property tax bills, and without it some could see their property taxes increase even if their home value declined. Solomon estimates that most homeowners in Dis-
trict 196 will pay less or the same in district taxes this year if their home value follows the market trends. Home values in the district are expected to drop 6.4 percent this year, which is more than the state average of 5.3 percent. This is the third consecutive year property values have fallen faster than the state average, Solomon said. “But the rate is slowing,� he added. Solomon noted that home values in the district climbed faster than those statewide during the housing boom. “Now it is correcting itself,� he said. The School Board can lower the property tax levy upon its final approval, but cannot increase it. Last month, the School Board also decided against sending a levy referendum for voter approval.
Marathon man has more on his mind than personal bests Eicher, 28, raising money for Christian charity by running in Twin Cities, Uganda by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Aaron Eicher has trained for Sunday’s Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon with hopes of topping his personal-best time of two hours, 44 minutes and 20 seconds for a 26.2-mile course. The Burnsville runner hopes to improve on his other Twin Cities Marathon appearance, in 2008, when he finished 88th out of more than 8,000 competitors. But personal bests aren’t all he’s chasing. Eicher, 28, will join about 180 other members of Team World Vision who are running Sunday to raise money for clean-water projects in Africa. Once that’s done, Eicher will turn his attention to Uganda, where on Nov. 20 he and six other Team World Vision runners will compete in the MTN Kampala Marathon to raise money for child E-mail Jessica Harper at: sponsorships. jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com “I don’t know too much other than Uganda’s about 3,500 feet in elevation.

Police search for suspect in string of robberies Man led police on high-speed chase that started in Rosemount by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Local police are searching for a man they believe committed a string of robberies and led them on a high-speed chase. Police believe the suspect committed robberies in Eagan, Mendota Heights, Bloomington and West St. Paul. He is described as a bald, white man, approximately 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds. Police responded at 7:45 p.m. Sept. 25 to a report of a robbery at Little Caesar’s Pizza on Diffley Road in Eagan. No weapon was seen,
and once the suspect obtained the cash he left on foot, according to a release by Eagan Police. During their investigation, police found a GMC Yukon with a damaged window that they believe may have been used in other robberies that occurred in Bloomington and West St. Paul. Police also suspect the man was involved in a Mendota Heights robbery on Sept. 26. Approximately 20 minutes after police received the report of the Mendota Heights robbery, a Rosemount officer located the Yukon and attempted to
stop it. The man refused, and led Rosemount and Eagan police on a high-speed chase. The suspect drove through Eagan and surrounding communities, reaching speeds of 90 mph. Once the driver reached St. Paul, he stopped and fled on foot. No injuries were reported. The case is still under investigation. Anyone with information about the robberies is encouraged to call local law enforcement.

Eagan for-profit college named in lawsuit Attorney general says Argosy University-Twin Cities illegally collected state financial aid by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
in federal financial aid funding in fiscal year 2011. In addition to Goldman Sachs’ 41.8 percent ownership EMC, Providence Equity Partners owns 31.5 percent and Leeds Equity Partners owns 7.6 percent. The release reported that EMC generates the majority of its marketing leads from web-based advertising, according to its 2010 Annual Report. It also purchases leads from aggregators and uses television and print media advertising, radio, local newspaper, telephone campaigns, and direct mail campaigns. Students who express interest in enrolling at an EMC college are contacted by EMC recruiters. Federal law prohibits for-profit colleges from paying “any commission, bonus or other incentive payment� to any person engaged in student recruiting, which is based either directly or indirectly on the recruiter’s success in enrolling new students. Tad Johnson is at editor. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.
Police: Ploy to steal cell phone began with request for directions Instead of getting a “thank you,� a biker who obliged a stranger’s request for directions to a local park had his cell phone stolen. The Dakota County Attorney’s Office recently charged 19-year-old Kavonta L. Pratt of Apple Valley with theft from person, a felony, for the July 14 incident. The male victim told police he was riding his bike in Apple Valley when a man, later iden-
tified as Pratt, approached him and asked him where Region Park was located. When he began to look up the park’s location on his cell phone, Pratt grabbed the phone, ran into a nearby trailer park and got into a vehicle, the complaint said. Using a description provided by the victim, including the suspect’s clothes and a red cast on his right arm, police identified Pratt as the suspect
and subsequently made contact with him. Pratt told police he took the cell phone so he could sell it and obtain marijuana, the complaint said. He told police he was just “trying to get high.� If convicted of the one felony count, Pratt faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. —Andrew Miller

Argosy University-Twin Cities, a for-profit college in Eagan, is alleged to have unlawfully collected state taxpayer-financed student financial aid, according to a lawsuit filed by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson. The lawsuit was filed against Argosyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company, Pennsylvaniabased Education Management Corporation, the second largest of its kind in the U.S., which was ineligible to receive state financial aid because it paid incentive compensation to recruiters based on the enrollment of new students. The lawsuit also reported that the EMC school Art Institutes International of Minneapolis was involved in the alleged illegal activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incentive payments by for-profit colleges to their recruiters are illegal because they can lead to a hard-sell atmosphere where students are sometimes hustled to enroll in expensive programs paid for by taxpayer-backed
student loans, hurting both students who are trying to better themselves and taxpayers who must pick up the tab if the loans default,â&#x20AC;? Swanson said in a press release. The attorney general joined the U.S. Department of Justice and five other states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and California â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Pennsylvania. Argosy and AIA received at least $1,288,514 in state student aid under Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student grant, aid, scholarship, and loan programs since July 1, 2010, representing about 1,278 financial aid awards. According to the companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites, annual tuition and fees are about $16,662 per year at Argosy University. The Eagan campus offers programs in psychology, marriage and family therapy, education, business, and health sciences. EMC had net revenues in fiscal year 2011 of $2.8 billion. Nationwide, EMC received over $2.6 billion

Thisweekend Enter the maze of maize Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Applewood Orchard offers corn maze this fall by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen much, but occasionally folks do get lost inside the corn maze that opened earlier this month at Applewood Orchard in Lakeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to go in once and get a family that basically got stuck in the farthest end of the maze,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Parranto, who runs the orchard with his wife, Kathy, and two adult sons, Christopher and Jon. With nine-foot-high walls of corn that were planted extra thick so you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see through them, the massive labyrinth covers eight acres with over two miles of paths. Unlike a lot of corn mazes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this one is a real maze,â&#x20AC;? said Parranto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you turn left where you should have turned right, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to bring you back in a circle.â&#x20AC;? Those who find themselves running in circles once inside have options. Guests are furnished with â&#x20AC;&#x153;passportsâ&#x20AC;? containing trivia questions which, if answered correctly, tell you which way to turn at num-
IN BRIEF The corn maze at Applewood Orchard is open seven days a week through Oct. 31. Cost is $7 for adults, $5 for ages 6 to 16, and kids 5 and under are admitted free. The orchard is located at 22702 Hamburg Ave., Lakeville. More information is at http://applewoodorchard.com/applewood1. bered signs posted throughout the maze. Everyone who enters is also provided with a map, but if you really lose your sense of direction, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always your cell phone. At the entrance to the maze is a telephone you can call if you get lost, and one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;corn copsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Applewood staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will come find you. This is the first year the Parrantos have offered the maze at their orchard, which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been running since 1995. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an addition to their regular lineup of harvest-season attractions, which include a mini maze for kids thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made out of evergreen bushes and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a considerably lesser time than most peo-
ple spend working their way through the corn maze. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s split into two phases â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an easier course that can take as little as 15 minutes, and a more elaborate course that can last more than an hour. For the truly adventurous, the orchard lets guests attempt to navigate the maze in the dark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open until 6 p.m. most days, but on Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 10 p.m. with last admission at 9. As for the demographics of the mazeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after-dark trekkers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly teenagers,â&#x20AC;? said Parranto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we provide flashlights, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cast a lot of light.â&#x20AC;?

Best-of-the-best on display at Eagle Invitational in Apple Valley by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Class A team. Eagan finished in seventh place, beating Centennial and Apple Valley, while losing to Bloomington Jefferson and Shakopee both by scores of 2-1. Apple Valley was eighth after winning its first round game against Alexandria, but lost the other three to Blaine, Marshall and Eagan.
Eastview finished 11th, beating Moorhead and Hibbing while losing to Shakopee and Bethlehem Academy. Blaine won the title by beating Bloomington Jefferson in the final. Lakeville North finished third and Wayzata fourth.
Eagan’s Sydney Speir won the 35th annual Eagle Invitational last weekend at Apple Valley High School, running faster than several of Minnesota’s top varsity runners. Speir ran the course in 16 minutes, 13 seconds, which was the fastest time in Eagan school history on the course. “It is very hard to (get a personal record) on this course,” Eagan head coach Robin Graham said. “Some courses are geared more toward pacing and tactics – this was one of them.” As a team, Eagan finished in 10th place. Nick Vecellio was the next Wildcat to cross the finish line (41st). As a team, Eastview was the runner-up, 26 points behind the winners from Eden Prairie. Ken Hoffman and Nick Oelke finished in about the same time, coming in third and fourth, respectively. David Saulter, Dan Spika and John Dolan also ran together finishing 19th, 30th and 31st, respectively. Host team Apple Valley came in fourth place. Alex Brandel was the team’s leader in 13th. “We had many individuals run their best races of the year so far and consequently had our best team finish of the year so far,” Eagle coach Rollie Greeno said. Alexa Nelson led the Eagle girls team in 19th. Overall Apple Valley was sixth in the girls race.

Several injuries have kept Burnsville boys soccer from being at full strength by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Burnsville boys soccer team may be down, but the players don’t feel they are out of the race yet. Since starting the season 5-1-2, Burnsville has played a brutal schedule and the players have paid for it physically. During Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to Bloomington Jefferson, Burnsville’s biggest loss of the season, the Blaze were down to about four players on the bench. “We have about six or seven guys injured right now,” head coach Bill Toranza said. “It’s tough out there.” Their maladies include a mix of concussions, knee injuries and the flu. The team is playing it safe and hoping to get the majority of sidelined players back for the playoffs. Nearly two weeks ago, the Blaze started a stretch that began with Eden Prairie and will end with Apple Valley next Thursday where they will have played eight

Burnsville’s Scott McNulty, No. 2, looks to pass against Bloomington Jefferson on Tuesday. games against teams that have been ranked in the top 10 in Class AA. “That’s a good thing,” Toranza said. “You’re not going to get better by playing a bunch of cupcakes.” The Blaze lost to Eden Prairie 1-0, and to Eagan 1-0 on a last-minute play. They also tied with No. 1 ranked Eastview 1-1, but that’s when the injuries
started to pile up. The players knew the stretch from Sept. 19-Oct. 6 would be a challenge. “We just wanted to come in and get some wins and ties and try not to get negative” senior defender Quinn Franti said. “We’re not ranked in the top 10, so we’re not supposed to win these. We had to keep them close. To come out and tie a
team like Eastview and play Eagan and Eden Prairie close, I think if we were able to get one goal, we would be up there with them.” With a limited lineup, the team has had to shuffle players to different positions and it showed against Jefferson. “It’s not an excuse,” Toranza said. “We had to come out and play, but we were a little thrown off.” It will take time to get the new pieces to connect again. “It just wasn’t working tonight,” senior goalkeeper Daniel Nimtz said. “We’re good at weaving in and out of people and we weren’t hitting each other.” The Blaze will close the regular season with a game at Lakeville North, a state participant last year, on Tuesday and a home match versus last year’s state champion, Apple Valley, on Thursday. “These next few games we’re trying to get our lineup set for sections,” Nimtz
said. “Just get some of these guys healthy. We need to rest up our top guys right now.” When the Section 3AA playoffs begin, Burnsville will be ready after a regular season of playing teams that will likely make up most of the state tournament. “We’re not the one people are going to expect to come out and win it all, but we’ve shown we can play with those teams,” Franti said. The Blaze have come up big in the final moments of games a few times with a last-minute goal. The players hope they can define their season that way too, with a late run in the last moments. “We don’t give up right up to the last minute,” Franti said. “We’ve won games right at the end. The thing is we never let up. We have a lot of heart.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Burnsville
Amid real estate trough, housing projects pop up by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Something may soon sprout that Burnsville hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen much of lately â&#x20AC;&#x201D; new housing. In a depressed real estate market, one landowner is looking to finish off a vacant parcel of residential property, and another recently floated plans before the City Council. In both cases, the land has sat vacant and changed hands during the economic downturn.
Minnwest Bank Central now owns 6.2 acres north and east of 122nd Street East and Parkwood Drive. The bank wants to build 17 townhomes in five buildings along 122nd Street. During the boom days of 2005, construction giant Toll Brothers Inc. gained City Council approval for 68 condominium units. Toll Brothers then sold the property to McDevitt Homes, which built a single five-unit building in 2006. That building is now oc-
cupied, but the rest of the property is empty, which has prompted some complaints from neighbors about maintenance, erosion and illegal dumping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I guess unattractive is about the best way you can describe it,â&#x20AC;? City Planner Chris Slania told the Planning Commission Sept. 26. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of Minnwest Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, which goes before the council next Tues-
day (Oct. 4). The bank is switching gears from condos to townhomes. The units will have â&#x20AC;&#x153;something of a rowhouse or old-fashioned townhomeâ&#x20AC;? appearance, Slania said. Garages will be in back, with access from a private driveway. Some tree replanting would be required after extensive grading in 2005 and 2006, Slania said. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a vacant lot on 134th Street, west of SuperAmerica, where TIER2
Funding Group of Wayzata has floated plans for 14 single-family homes. Two separate plans, one for townhomes and office space and one just for townhomes, have come and gone since 2003. The council frowned on the latter plan because of density con-
cerns, and the application was withdrawn. Council members gave a warmer reception to the newest plan at a work session in July, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no formal proposal. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Volunteers loaded food into a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle Tuesday, Sept. 27, at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville. Prince of Peace was one of three Twin Cities sites for a Salvation Army food distribution made possible by a gift from international charity Feed the Children. The distributions, in Burnsville, Minneapolis and St. Paul, provided food for 1,200 families. Each pre-selected family received a 25-pound box of food, a 10-pound box of personal care items and a box of Avon products. The boxes are designed to help a family of four for up to a week. The distribution is part of Feed The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans Feeding Americans Caravan,â&#x20AC;? which has helped more than 280,000 families across the country since it began in 2009.

Education Black Hawk recognized for healthy eating efforts School presented a check for $2,000 from Schwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The school song plays, while the crowd cheers on the mascot. It seems like any ordinary pep rally at Black Hawk Middle School, except the crowd isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheering on the home team. Rather the students are cheering for nutrition. Black Hawk Middle School was one of four schools in the nation this week to be recognized by Schwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Service for its efforts to boost nutrition among students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an effort that has been carried district wide. As a part of Schwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LiveSmart X-Country Tour on Sept. 27, Black Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food service received a $2,000 donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We plan to use this toward a wall mural or an ice machine to make fruit
smoothies,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy Landgrebe, food and nutrition manager for Black Hawk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This money will go a long way in promoting healthy meals.â&#x20AC;? The school has made numerous changes to its menu in an effort to make it healthier. Specifically, salt and sugar has been reduced, while fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains have been increased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have evolved with the times by making changes for years to meet new standards,â&#x20AC;? said Janeen Peterson, president-elect for the Minnesota School Nutrition Association and a registered dietician with the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District. The school has also gone beyond basic standards by starting a farm-to-table program in which it orders
locally grown goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beauty of it is that it introduces kids to where food is grown,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. It was this and similar efforts that stood out when Schwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sought a candidate for its LiveSmart tour, said Jim Clough, president of Schwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a real commitment to nutrition,â&#x20AC;? Clough said. Clough was not the only one to recognize the school for its efforts. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar sent a recorded speech, and Minnesota Vikings running back Lorenzo Booker spoke to students about the importance of healthy eating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your body is like a vehicle, if you want it to run well, you need to take care of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Booker told students
Echo Park Elementary School PTO is promoting healthy, active children through its inaugural Get Up, Get Movinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser event, designed by parents. Get Up, Get Movinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will kick off at 3:10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, with a rally with Apple Valley High School athletes and Eagle mascot in attendance. All Echo Park students will receive a T-shirt with the event logo and be encouraged to exercise for the next 10 days, seeking sponsors to support the school. The goal is to raise $18,000 to fund educational opportunities and promote fitness and health throughout the school year. The event coincides with National Walk to School Day on Oct. 5 when students will wear their event T-shirts as they walk from Alimagnet Park along County Road 11 to Echo Park Elementary. Minnesota Timberwolves dancers and mascot will be on hand to cheer students as they finish.
