Firefighter Dominic Richardson helped kids aim the fire hose at the Apple Valley Fire Department’s open house on Tuesday. Open houses were held at all three of the department’s fire stations this week as part of national Fire Prevention Week; the family-geared events gave residents an opportunity to talk with firefighters and brush up on fire safety, while kids were able to check out the trucks and try on firefighters’ gear.
Shooter claims he wasn’t sane Burnsville man’s trial starts after he pleads guilty to shooting Apple Valley man in Rosemount by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
After pleading guilty on Oct. 7 to intentional second-degree murder, a 28-year-old Burnsville man is claiming he wasn’t sane during the July 12, 2010, shooting of a 22-year-old Apple Valley man in Rosemount. Jonas Grice’s defense was introduced when his trial opened Tuesday in Dakota County District Court before Judge Karen Asphaug, according to multiple news media reports. Grice was originally charged with first-degree murder after he fatally shot Anthony Hartman at the Car Spa. That charge has been dropped. Asphaug will decide if Grice
will be sentenced to prison or, if she agrees with the mental health defense, he would be sentenced to a state mental health facility, according to media reports. Hartman’s friend, Bradley Doseth, took the stand during Tuesday’s trial. His version of events was similar to what has been previously reported about the case. Grice allegedly tried to pick a fight with Doseth, then Hartman confronted Grice and both started shoving each other. Doseth said he didn’t see the shooting but heard gun shots as he ran for help, according to media reports. By the time Doseth returned,
Grice had fled and Hartman was found lying in his own blood, according to media reports. The defense pointed to one aspect of Doseth’s testimony – prior to the shooting Doseth allegedly shut a car wash garage door as an attempt to prevent Grice from leaving. That action trapped Grice who thought people were out to get him, according to defense attorneys quoted in a Star Tribune report. The sentencing guideline for intentional second-degree murder is between 29 and 40 years in prison. Tad Johnson is at editor. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Possible restriction on campaign signs raises concerns Chamber: Sign ban would also affect realtors, not just political candidates by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Apple Valley City Council Member Tom Goodwin says there used to be a “gentlemen’s agreement� among those running for office when it came time to positioning their campaign signs at busy intersections. That gentlemen’s agreement, accord-
ing to Goodwin, has been supplanted by “incredible abuse� at prime campaigning locales such as Cedar Avenue and 140th Street, where clusters of signs have seemed to fill every inch of available space during recent election seasons. “I received so many complaints (from residents) about it last year, and so did other council members,� said Goodwin,
who was not up for re-election in 2010. “If people were just reasonable and rational in putting up signs, I don’t think this issue would have raised its head.� Apple Valley officials are now considering a ban on signs within city rightof-way. Currently, ordinance allows campaign signs to be placed within city right-of-way as long as the signs are 18

George Beran named state Physical Education Teacher of the Year by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Teachers at Greenleaf Elementary came dressed in fitness gear and wore whistles around their necks on Monday. It was a tribute to their colleague George Beran, who last week was recognized as the Elementary School Physical Education Teacher of the Year by a statewide association. The workout clothes were just part of Monday’s inschool recognition of Beran. Before the start of the school day, teachers converged on the gym to offer congratulations, and the flash mob-like
scene culminated in Beran leading the faculty in the chicken dance. A teacher at Greenleaf since 1993, Beran is known for his enthusiasm, high energy levels, and eagerness to get to know students. “The sun is always shining for him – there’s like an aura of positiveness around him,â€? said Principal Michelle deKam Palmieri. “We have 897 students in our school. He knows almost all of their names, he knows things about them, he connects with their families.â€? He channels his enthusiasm into phy ed-related See Greenleaf, 14A ďż˝

A wind turbine at the northeast corner of the UMore Park in Rosemount is a symbol for the property’s future. While it’s iconic because it towers over the mostly flat land, it’s also sends a message that future development will pay strict attention to renewable energy.

Students to stage fall farce Rosemount High School sings praises of ‘Lend Me A Tenor’ by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
> % > + #( % ?% *+ *
The cast and crew of Rosemount High School’s fall production of “Lend Me A Tenorâ€? is working for laughs this weekend. With 7 p.m. shows on both Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, the school’s Performing Arts Center will be filled with guffaws. The play tells the story of the September 1934 night when world famous tenor Tito Morrelli performs his greatest role at the Cleveland Opera Company. Before taking the stage Morrelli dies ‌ or maybe not, which sets up the play’s comedy as the manager and his assistant attempt to carry out the theater truism: “The show must go on.â€? Director Christina Morris, the high school’s dance instructor, said she was drawn to the play be-
cause of its farcial nature. The play’s action also depends much on timing and creating visual pictures. which lends directly into Morris’s strength as a choreographer. “The students like the play,� Morris said. “They are having fun with how ridiculous some of the characters are and seeing how far they can take them.� The play, written by Ken Ludwig, was first performed in 1986 and enjoyed a Broadway revival in 2010. Cast member Kyle Weiler said working on this upbeat, physical comedy has been challenging, but completely fulfilling. “We are just getting settled into these characters which feels amazing,� Weiler said. “When settled into the show, you feel like you can lift up your wings and fly.�
He said for the show to be funny the players must convince the audience that they believe what they are seeing is real. “Finding the reality amongst all of the elements of fantasy has been the main goal for me as an actor,� he said. Morris has been impressed with the students’ effort. “I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated group of students to work with,� Morris said. “I am impressed that each student, it doesn’t matter if they are a senior or freshman, conduct themselves in a professional manner.� Ticket prices are $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, $5 for students.

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board agreed Oct. 10 to allow Superintendent Jane Berenz to move forward with Partnership for Deliberate Excellence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a program that is intended to help students succeed after high school. The program was founded by Dr. Jerry Weast to help school systems graduate students who are prepared to thrive in college and in careers. Weast has been at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;forefront of education transformation for the past 35 years,â&#x20AC;? according to a district handout. He recently retired from his 12-year posi-

periences were and what helped them succeed. He then created standards inspired by those experiences so all students are college and career ready â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of their socioeconomic status. The program doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at the students. It encourages team building and leadership within the district. There will be no cost to District 196 to participate in the program, which is funded through private donations. Although it has the green light, the program could take a year and a half before it begins. Email Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Fun Foods Catering reinvents itself Longtime local businesswoman says she needs to rebuild and start over by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
After leaving its previous location in St. Paul, longtime local business Fun Foods Catering is reinventing itself. Eagan resident Doris LaMott Hoel, who has operated the business since 1989, is still doing full-service, customized catering and can also be hired as an in-home chef. This summer, she sent hundreds of fliers describing her offerings to former clients of Fun Foods and Chateau Lamothe, a Burnsville restaurant she used to run with her husband, David Hoel. As part of her new offering, LaMott Hoel can be hired for in-home parties, intimate dinners, cooking classes, or preparing foods for people with special dietary concerns. The additional direction
came after she left the Neighborhood House community center in St. Paul in May following a change in management that led to a proposed new operating arrangement in February, according to LaMott Hoel. The new direction also came after she and her husband filed for personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After Thisweek made unsuccessful attempts to contact LaMott Hoel and ran a story about the bankruptcy, she met with the newspaper and said she needed to rebuild and start over. Filing for bankruptcy was difficult for her because she said she had never been late with a payment in her life. She stressed that this was a personal bankruptcy and Fun Foods Catering is continuing to operate and has hundreds upon hundreds of extremely happy and satis-
fied customers. She said she had received many phone calls and emails of support since the story ran. In order to emerge from her rough patch, she said, you have to have incredible faith in friends and family. As for the full-service catering side of the business, she says no event is too small or too big for her company to cater. She is working in cooperation with a host of venues for larger events, such as the Burnsville Performing Arts Center, Rosemount Community Center, Rosemount Steeple Center, Bell Museum of History and the Klub Haus in St. Paul. She employs an on-call staff for larger events and also has a kitchen in St. Louis Park she can rent for such occasions. Hoel was named the first class of Exceptional Busi-

Opinion Guest Columnist Connecting the dots during Domestic Violence Awareness Month by Mary Ajax SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The late astronomer Carl Sagan labelled our planet the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pale Blue Dot,â&#x20AC;? referring to an image of Earth taken from deep space. From that perspective, our countries, our wars, our politics and our divisions melt away as the planet becomes a singular blue point, a gripping illustration of our shared place in the universe. Even as one moves in closer to Earth, there are no map lines dividing continents or resources. Instead, what one sees are networks of oceans, waterways and land. Closer still, complex arteries of highways become clear and on the dark side of the globe, a sea of lights stretches over the land. From above, we are all connected. And there are connections between people that are even more critical. We live in a global econo-
my with global politics and shared global resources. At the same time, our local communities are just as integrally linked. Our health, safety, peace and prosperity are all tied together.  October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It is a time to shine a light on domestic violence in our communities and show survivors they do not stand alone. But more than that, it is a time to consider the complex web of social factors that precipitate domestic violence and how we all have a stake in addressing them. As the economy continues to stagger, the stress of unemployment and foreclosures are contributing to a rise in domestic violence. A September 2011 Blue Cross/ Blue Shield study has linked a surge in abusive head trauma cases in young children and infants with the economic pressures
imposed on families by the recession. According to a 2010 Mary Kay Foundation survey of 600 U.S. domestic violence shelters, 75 percent reported an increase in women seeking assistance since September of 2008. And the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics says every day in the United States three women are killed by a current or former intimate partner. Statistics like these are sobering because these are not just numbers. These are our neighbors, our friends and our family. And the damage is not limited to the scars, bruises and grief of the survivors. According to a 2003 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, domestic partner violence carries an estimated $5.8 billion annual price tag in the United States, including $4.1 billion in direct health care expenses. At 360 Communities, we rec-
ognize that domestic violence, poverty, hunger and school achievement gaps are not isolated social problems with singular consequences and simple solutions. Women and children often show up at Lewis House locations in Hastings and Eagan with just the clothes on their backs. They are seeking the safety of a shelter, but their needs always run deeper and require a whole portfolio of resources to address them. 360 Communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lewis House has trained advocates who offer emotional support, resources and legal advocacy to families in crisis with the ultimate goal of helping women and children forge a future free of violence and full of promise. Whether a family comes to know 360 Communities through our Lewis House shelters, our network of food shelves, or our Partners For Success family support work, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is the same. 360 Commu-
nities staff and volunteers engage people to understand the complexity of their problems and tap the full strength of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources. This stabilizes a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation and then helps put them on the path to self-sustained success. October is a time to raise awareness of domestic violence in our community. Please consider joining 360 Communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yearround work in confronting the social problems that contribute to domestic violence. We are all connected. And when we act together for the common good, we share a bright future. Mary Ajax is president and CEO of 360 Communities, a nonprofit devoted to preventing violence in homes and communities, stabilizing families in crisis, and ensuring that students succeed in school. Â For more information, call (952) 985-5300 or visit www.360Communities.org.
Letters Vote for Duchscher on Nov. 8 To the editor: I am writing in support of Rob Duchscher for re-election to the District 196 School Board. Having served on the board for the last 11-plus years, including chair for three years, Duchscher has helped guide our district through some difficult financial constraints and help make the most out of the dollars we get from the state and our community. This effort has led to sound strategic planning, financial reporting and fis-
cal stability, allowing our district to provide every student an education that allows them to reach their full potential. Through dedication and endless energy, Duchscher has used his real-life business skills to ensure our district provides a solid educational foundation, with an emphasis on curriculum excellence. As a result, District 196 is able to put its money into the classroom, where it belongs. Duchscher has always been a vocal supporter of public education. He volunteers at numerous school activities, listens to his con-
stituents and responds to emails or phone calls, even when someone disagrees with a particular position. One other point, Duchscher represents the entire district. No matter what part of the district you are from, Duchscher has been there for all of our communities. As a supporter of core academics and secondary language training, in a fiscally prudent manner, please join me in supporting Rob Duchscher on Nov. 8. JASON MESSNER Rosemount

To the editor: I congratulate Independent School District 196 for its recently announced progress in math and reading scores, and I am hopeful that scores in the more culturally and racially mixed classrooms will improve in the future. This is why I support Fay Coggshall as a member of the District 196 School Board. When elected, Coggshall plans to meet the changing face of our community with a more diverse workforce, one that reflects and is equipped to focus on the needs of our students. As the parent of former district students, Coggshall wants to protect our schools from the ups-and-downs of budget bargaining in government, by protecting our funding. Also, she plans to ensure a safe haven for all of our children to learn, safe from intimidation and harassment. We are a changing community, and Coggshall offers a new perspective in dealing with the issues and concerns that often arise with change. I feel that Fay Coggshall would be an ideal addition to the School Board in the Nov. 8 election. MICHELE OLSON Apple Valley

To the editor: We moved here two years ago from a beautiful neighboring state. We had visited Minnesota before numerous times and knew well of its reputation for beautiful lakes and a citizenry that enjoyed the great outdoors year-round. So it was quite a shock for us when we first used the wonderful walking and bike path out our
back door to discover the amount of trash that littered this route. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only the path. Our streets and sidewalks, the ditches, entrances to shopping centers, parks and riverways are all strewn with trash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; paper cups, bags, plastic bottles, cans, shards of glass, huge wads of bubble gum, bags filled with garbage, fast food refuse. And cigarette butts. You name it, my wife and I have picked it up with grocery bags on our evening walks. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why some residents here are so willing to treat such a beautiful area as a dumping ground. From our observations, it appears some areas could use more trash cans (although we have also seen trash on the ground within inches of a receptacle), garbage trucks could use tighter covers to prevent litter from blowing out and just in general, people need the discipline to hold onto trash until there is the proper place to dispose of it. Parents, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell your children to not litter and then let them see you flick a cigarette butt out your car window. We have traveled all over this great country and a good deal of Europe. This metropolitan area is one of the most physically beautiful areas anywhere. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we start treating it as such?
concession stand. Such a contrast from the stuffiness of Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis of which I was a past season ticket holder. Even the parking is easy, convenient, and no cost. I was long overdue to attend the Burnsville Performance Arts Center to hear the Dakota Valley Symphony, but finally this year I became a season ticket holder. I felt proud of Burnsville and its performance art center to host such a talented group of people who gather to practice for their performances. These musicians are led enthusiastically by their conductor, Steve Ramsey, who is my neighbor and I enjoyed tremendously. He discussed each piece in a way that helped you understand it or the composer a little bit better. The selection of music was superb, varied and entertaining. My neighbor, Jean, age 93, who accompanied me, is a former violinist herself and a graduate of Julliard in New York. She thought the music was great and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. We are already looking forward to the next performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amahl and the Night Visitors.â&#x20AC;? We intend to invite more neighbors along. Check it out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did.

Volunteer opportunities for seniors abound by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Two forces are at work in Dakota County that are resulting in unprecedented opportunities for seniors to volunteer in the community. Those 65 and over has grown from 9 percent of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population in 2010 to 14 percent in 2020. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a projected increase from 38,000 to 67,800. With increasing numbers of seniors living longer and more active lives, they find themselves as prime community volunteers. And as the weak economy places increased demands on nonprofits through more clients seeking services while donations have generally slipped, a wave of volunteers is needed to fill the gap. A 2004 study by Points of Light Foundation said the wave of retirees (most of them Baby Boomers) has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented level of education, skills, and resources.â&#x20AC;? The study said it is important for nonprofits to create volunteer opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x153;that add meaning and substance to this new phase of adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives while simultaneously building the capacity of community based agencies to solve serious social problems.â&#x20AC;? National studies have shown that this generation of volunteers is becoming more personal and secular in their efforts. They also are less likely to join an organization. In addition to seniors providing needed community service, it turns out that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;workâ&#x20AC;? is good for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. A 2007 report from the Corporation for National and Community Service found that â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteering leads to better health and that older volunteers are the most likely to receive physical and
Volunteer resources

One of the many ways that seniors can volunteer in the community is for activities like this food distribution event 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. mental health benefits from their volunteer activities.â&#x20AC;? There are so many volunteer opportunities in Dakota County, it would be impossible to list them all here, but this can at least give people a start. Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website has information about local food shelves, including three of the better known organizations running them locally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 360 Communities, the Eagan Resource Center and CAP Agency. Contact information for those organizations and others that operate food shelves and offer community meals is at www.co.dakota.mn.us/ HealthFamily/CaringFor/ PersFinance/FoodResources. htm. Dakota County government departments also have volunteer opportunities that are listed on the website at
www.co.dakota.mn.us/Jobs (click on Volunteer and Internship Opportunities). They include Citizen Advisory Committees, Library Adopt-A-Shelf Program, Parks V.I.P. (Volunteer In Parks) Program and much more. DARTS is another countywide organization that has a wide range of volunteer opportunities. People can assist an older adult with shopping and errands, mentor an elementary school student as a Learning Buddy, provide office support and much more. More can be found at www.darts1.org. Schools, cities, community festivals and events and a host of other nonprofits seek volunteers to fill a wide range of roles. The opportunities can be as wide ranging as offering to
help out at the Lewis House â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a shelter for women and children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Dakota City Heritage Village â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 1900s era historic town at the Dakota County Fairgrounds. For those still struggling for an idea, the Minnesota Senior Corps can help find oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calling. The corps offers programs in senior companionship, foster grandparenting and other opportunities. For more information, see the website www.mnseniorcorps.org. Minnesota Seniors Online has a host of links on its website that can connect seniors to volunteer opportunities. For more information, go to www.mnseniorsonline. com/volunteer-opportunities. html.

Because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teacher, Adams knows he has to keep his material squeaky clean during club performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very careful about that because I know I could have parents or administrators in the crowd when I perform,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swear much, if at all.â&#x20AC;? And if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for honest feedback about his comedy, Adams needs look no further than his students. In class, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll throw off some really terrible puns, and usually they just tell me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not funny and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a comic,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh.

Chris Adams was doing comedy long before he ever grabbed a mic and stepped on stage. The 24-year-old Apple Valley native admits he was somewhat of a class clown back when he was a student at Falcon Ridge Middle School and Eastview High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always looking for a way to be the center of attention,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never got into too much trouble in school, but I definitely got on a lot of teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nerves.â&#x20AC;? Drawing laughter in the classroom is still a staple of Adamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day. But now he gets to stand at the front of the room. A school teacher who sidelines on weekends as a standup comic, he finds ample opportunity to share his sense of humor with students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to incorporate it,â&#x20AC;? said Adams, a substitute teacher in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I have to do a lecture for an entire period, I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death for the kids. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a different brand of humor than what I use on stage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have to make very safe kinds of jokes.â&#x20AC;? Adams, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been entertaining friends and family since childhood with bits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cribbed from old Bill Cosby routines, started formally doing standup as an undergraduate at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University in Collegeville, Minn. Inspired by a performance by comic Dane Cook at Target Center his junior year, he decided to take the plunge at a campus coffee shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s openmic event. Oddly enough, it was an open mic for musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was kind of looking at me funny because, obviously, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an instrument,â&#x20AC;? he recounted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be doing

The section True Team swimming events scheduled for this weekend give teams with depth across the board a chance to showcase their talent. While other events use the scores of the top swimmers, True Team takes it all in. Last season Eastview qualified for state, advancing with a wildcard after finishing second behind Prior Lake in Section 2AA. The Lightning lost several fast swimmers to graduation last spring, so there were some concerns about depth when the season opened. “Our returning swimmers and divers and new kids have really stepped into the roles that we needed them to fill and we look like a stronger team every meet,” coach Mark Tollefson said. The girls have gotten a little better in each meet this season. “I am very much looking forward to the peak of the season as I want to see where all the work the kids have put in leads them,” Tollefson said. While the team has just three divers, Tollefson says they’re the best group he’s coached and praised the seniors for their leadership. “I hesitate to point out anyone as they have all done a great job,” Tollefson said. He feels the girls have a better than average chance to advance to the state True Team Meet from the Section 2AA True Team meet at Bloomington Kennedy on Saturday. “Our second, third and fourth relays will be a strength for us at the meet,” Tollefson said.

ville North on Oct. 6. “Hopefully we can get the momentum back and it will make us stronger,” coach Tami Carlson said. “The season has been going very well so far. The incoming freshmen and gifted athletes have really helped in giving us the depth that is needed to be successful as a team.” One of the biggest highlights was beating Prior Lake on Sept. 22 by a score of 90-86. The energy has come from girls such as Olivia Johnston, Megan Wenman, Katrina Orthmann, Jessica Troen, Grace Tolan and Grace Herron. “We have been putting in a lot of time at practices and in the weight room and are hoping to see great improvement during taper,” Carlson said. The Irish are hosting True Team Section 3AA on Saturday where Carlson feels like Woodbury is the team to beat.

The young Eastview volleyball team can’t seem to catch a break. The Lightning may be a .500 team this year, but all of their losses have been to ranked teams in either Class AAA, AA or A. On Tuesday, they added Class AAA No. 2 Lakeville South to their list of losses. The match started promisingly for Eastview, which won the first game 25-17, but the Cougars bounced back to win 3-1. “I think we got back on their heels a little bit when (South’s) big hitters came up, but it’s not going to change,”
coach Becky Egan said. “We can’t let up like that. When you’re playing against players like that you can’t sit back and wait. Egan talked of playing with that championship mentality. Facing a senior- heavy lineup like South, she didn’t want to see her team back down. “You just have to go, just go,” Egan said. “And keep going. We have to play like athletes. We don’t have the high caliber team for the talent to take over. We have to take it to them.” The Lightning will get the chance to attack this weekend during their own invitational tournament.
Winning the Eastview tournament would be quite the accomplishment considering the competition with No. 1 Blaine, No. 3 Bloomington Jefferson, No. 6 Shakopee and No. 8 Eden Prairie all competing. “We’re looking at getting even more top level teams in there so the teams keep getting better every year,” Egan said. “We should have some really good games this weekend.”
Apple Valley The Eagles won their own October Classic, beating four teams with a combined 55-12 record last weekend, including the No.2 ranked team in
South Dakota – Sioux Falls Lincoln – in the finals. Since the teams heartbreaking loss at Eastview on Sept. 27, where it was up 2-0 but ended up losing in game five 13-15, the Eagles have found their stride. “We’ve been mentally tough, played great defense and diversified our attack,” coach Gordy Hagert said. “We’ve played with confidence and truly believe we can play with any team in our conference.” The girls took conferenceleading Eagan to five games and defeated Burnsville 3-1. “We’re finding ourselves in a lot of 27-25 and 26-24 games and that makes us be-
lieve that we’re close to beating some teams no one, other than us, expect us to beat,” Hagert said. The team has had to reshuffle its lineup due to injuries and defections, but it’s nearing full strength. “We know the road in front of us is challenging, but we believe that, if we play our best, we deserve to be on the court with the best teams in this section,” Hagert said. “We need to continue to focus on strong, relentless defense and find creative ways to score and keep our opponent off balance.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
Proper fan participation integral to the soccer experience by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
Soccer is not a game to watch while sitting on your hands. There’s a reason it’s the most watched sport in the world. The soccer section playoffs are underway and with top-level soccer teams in the south metro, I feel like there’s potential for proper fans. After a big win for the Eastview boys team earlier this season, coaches and players praised the fan support. Fans were singing, chanting and acting like soccer fools (in a good way). Why? Because it’s fun. Professional teams often have independent fan clubs that hold meetings, design scarves, rewrite lyrics to fit their team, and freak out
during a goal. One of the rings in my circle of friends is part of the Dark Clouds, the fan club for the NCS Minnesota Stars in Blaine. They have about as much fun someone my age should be having on a random Tuesday. “One thing definitely remains the same the world over, the fans are there to make their own fun and a ton of noise,” Dark Clouds board member Jesse Erdmann said. “Unlike American sports atmospheres which often rely on music pumped in over giant speakers and announcer directed cheers,
soccer fans make their own noise. “With the Dark Clouds we blend the English tradition of singing songs throughout the match with the Latin American tradition of playing music on whatever instruments come to hand.” In his experience getting your own fan culture started is an organic process, but it does require persistence and commitment. Start early by singing the National Anthem and don’t stop. Other key moments for songs include corner kicks, penalty kicks, yellow cards, mascots praises or to serenade your favorite player. “For our favorite Italian player, Simone Bracallelo, we made up new lyrics to ‘That’s Amore’ titled
“That’s Simone,’” Erdmann said. “Singing player specific songs to the tune of well known songs is a great way to form your own unique culture. “Most important is to be creative and be supportive of the creative efforts of others in your group.” It’s inevitable fans will eventually pick on the opponents. This is when the insults and bad language can creep in, making it less family friendly than most athletic directors prefer. “Often times athletes are able to tune out the common insults and bad language,” Erdmann said. “Rather than trying to make them mad, try to make them laugh.” A simple “pull up your socks,” or “no one’s listening to you” toward a whiner can
affect play. “We enjoy hanging out with players from both teams after the game so we try not to offend anyone,” Erdmann said. “Above all, beg, steal or borrow from wherever you find inspiration.” If you still need some ideas and if your favorite team goes to state, there’s a chance the Stars will play in the league finals. If the Stars win Saturday in Carolina, it will have a home game on either Oct. 22 or Oct. 29. To find out who goes to state, the section soccer finals are scheduled for Tuesday. The results from Thursday’s semifinals games were unavailable at presstime. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Public Schools decreased by less than 1 percent this year and more than onefourth of all students are students of color, according to the Official October Enrollment Report and other demographic data that was presented to the School Board on Oct. 10. The report shows there were 27,404 students enrolled on Oct. 3, which is 47 students, or 0.17 percent, less than last year at this time, Student Information Supervisor Kim Reis said during her report. Total enrollment includes all students in kindergarten through grade 12, plus students in centerbased special education and
The K-12 only enrollment of 26,160 is 45 fewer students than last year and 68 fewer than projected by the district last November for purposes of preparing the 2011-12 preliminary budget.

Of that total, 10.3 percent of district students are

on 4625 Nicols Road became engulfed by flames Oct. 9 after an improperly discarded cigarette started a fire on the deck. A passerby called 911 at about 5:45 a.m. to report the fire, which severely burned the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior, according to a release by the Eagan Fire Department. Though the interior was mostly damaged by smoke and water, the fire melted

Casper said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too soon to put a dollar figure on the damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The insurance adjuster is out there now,â&#x20AC;? he said on Monday. No injuries were reported as the business was not occupied at the time of the fire. It was reported that Cherokee bar employees

The couple renamed it Casperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cherokee Sirloin Room and turned it into a small neighborhood bar and grill. The couple sold the restaurant in 1987 to Rick and his brother, Jim. In 1991, a second restaurant was opened in Eagan.

The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots sprawl to West St. Paul where the first Cherokee Sirloin Room stands. The establishment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; called Cherokee Tavern at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was purchased in 1970 by Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, Bob and Dorothy Casper.

said they used two pitchers of water to extinguish a fire that had started in a wood barrel flower pot on the second-floor deck before the end of their shift. It is believed that the fire continued to smolder after the staff left early Sunday morning, and the fire eventually started the wood barrel on fire and spread to the deck. It was reported that there were three wooden barrel flower pots on the deck and all of them had discarded cigarette butts in them. Crews from Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire stations and one from Burnsville were able to contain the fire to the exterior despite finding that a twostory deck was engulfed when they arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eagan and Burnsville fire departments did an outstanding job,â&#x20AC;?

17-year-old girl who police believe he may have known. At some point, the girl awoke, saw him in the room and screamed. Maloney, who was dressed in dark colors and a ski mask, allegedly placed his hands over her mouth and neck to try to silence her. The girl then scratched him in an effort to create a wound which would make him easily identifiable, police say. After being scratched, Maloney ran out of the house. The girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and juvenile brother were asleep in the home during the incident, police say. The family called police, whose investigation led them to Maloney.

The vision for the 5,000-acre UMore property is to build a sustainable, university-funded community of 20,000 to 30,000 people over the Daisy/from 1A dogs who would steal his food when he actually had some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took him straight to the emergency vet in Apple Valley and found out that he would have died of dehydration within about 24 hours had we not brought him in,â&#x20AC;? Cloose said. Despite all they have been through, the dogs are gentle, friendly and have Greenleaf/from 14A activities both in and outside the classroom. Among other projects, he worked to raise money to have a climbing wall installed in the gym, spearheaded the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk and Bike to School program, and each year organizes the Fall Festival Funhouse, which features spooky music, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bat cave,â&#x20AC;? and

Foster homes are also needed for these dogs and cats who have been in the most dire of circumstances. For Cloose, helping those others leave behind is a calling.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;As human beings we have a responsibility to leave this world a little bit better than we found it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my grandma told me that,â&#x20AC;? Cloose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we all do that, what a nice place this will be.â&#x20AC;? To volunteer, donate or for more information, contact Cloose at (651) 3225882.

The sign ban would be bad for business, according to longtime local realtor Bill Tschohl of Coldwell Banker Burnet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For realtors, this really affects us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abuses. I know there are abuses. We can certainly work on our end on addressing those.â&#x20AC;? Aside from the aesthetic issue, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a safety issue driving the discussion to revise the sign ordinance, Lawell said. Campaign signs on the corner

can obstruct visibility for motorists, and some of the bigger signs used in recent election seasons are so large they need to be pounded in with stakes, raising concerns of damage to utility lines. City officials are still in an exploratory phase as to the ordinance change, Goodwin said. Because Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street system includes county roads and state highways in addition to city streets, part of the process involves determining which intersections would be affected by a ban on signs within city right-of-way.

members about the possible sign ban. The best possible outcome for realtors is for the city to make no change to the ordinance, according to Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;graveyardâ&#x20AC;? of political signs that seems to spring up at busy intersections during election season is a problem that lasts for two months, once every two years, Kearney said. A ban on signs in city rightof-way would put realtors at a disadvantage yearround. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a need for (the change),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working just fine as it is.â&#x20AC;?
