Irish music is like the common cold in Minnesota. The traditional sound and lyrical qualities of tunes from the Emerald Isle are as infectious and contagious as that nagging cough. “But in a good way, of course,” Rosemount resident Kevin Carroll assures us.

Jeff and Laurel Anderson plan to bike across America for Burnsville nonprofit by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Eagan father-daughter duo plan to go the extra mile – 3,200 miles to be exact – for a charitable cause. Jeff Anderson, 50, and his 20-year-old daughter Laurel, plan to bike across the country on June 6 to raise money for Venture Expeditions, a Burnsville-based nonprofit that coordinates running, biking and hiking tours to raise funds for awareness and humanitarian projects abroad. Their journey will begin in Seattle where Jeff and Laurel will join a team of 15 riders who will spend eight weeks cycling to New

York City. The team plans to cover 80 miles per day and will be followed by a van that will carry their supplies. Along the way, the team will sleep in churches, schools and community centers, which will host fundraising events for the cause. “I’ve dreamed of biking across the country for years, but didn’t know how to make it happen,” Jeff, who is deaf, said with Laurel interpreting. “I heard about it through my daughter and thought we would have an incredible time together.” Jeff said he doesn’t expect his deafness will be an obstacle See RIDE, 9A

Dealing with tigers, leopards and grizzly bears is all in a day’s work for eight-year Minnesota Zoo staff member Ben Sutton. Sutton, who works primarily with carnivores on the Northern Trail exhibit, was recently named the zoo’s 2012 Zookeeper of the Year. “I’ve learned many things working at the zoo, and working with these amazing animals as well as a great team of people every day is a dream come true for me,” said Sutton, a St. Paul resident who was nominated by a fellow staff member for the award. In addition to his zookeeping duties, Sutton is involved with training and enrichment programs for the animals, and can often be seen training bears Sadie, Kenai and Haines at the Russia’s Grizzly Coast exhibit. Before coming to the Minnesota Zoo, Sutton worked at a humane society in Colorado for

yond to take exceptional care of the Minnesota Zoo’s Northern Trail carnivores.” “This award is a real achievement, as it is recognition from his peers on the high quality of his work,” Willis said. —Andrew Miller

Public Safety Investigators unable to find cause of deadly house fire by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After a two-month-long investigation, Eagan fire officials say they were unable to determine the cause of a Jan. 22 house fire that killed a 33-yearold man. Rodger Allen Yarusso was killed that cold Sunday mornOfficials were unable to determine the cause of the fire that ravaged ing when his four-unit townhome at 1527 Aspen Drive this Eagan home at 1527 Aspen Drive.

caught fire. Yarusso’s two roommates were injured, but escaped. Firefighters found Yarusso’s body inside. A Hennepin County coroner determined Yarusso died from smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning. Several pet snakes, birds and a dog were also killed in the blaze. Investigators believe the fire

Former GOP staffer pleads guilty to DUI Former GOP staffer Michael Brodkorb pleaded guilty this week to DUI charges and will serve a year probation. Brodkorb, an Eagan resident, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree DUI, a misdemeanor, on March 13 in Dakota County District Court. The 39-year-old will be on probation for a year and must complete a chemical assessment, listen to a victim impact panel and remain lawabiding, among other re-

quirements. Brodkorb was charged last month after blood tests determined he was intoxicated the night he crashed his car into a wall on Interstate 35E in Lilydale. Brodkorb also was charged with a second count of fourth-degree DUI, careless driving, and no seat belt, which were all dismissed. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found that Brodkorb had an alcohol concentration of

0.10, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Brodkorb was seriously injured in the crash and spent several days at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Brodkorb has been at the center of attention after admitting to an affair he had with former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, when he was her executive assistant. He lost his job in December 2011, one day after Koch resigned her leadership position over

an “inappropriate relationship� with a staffer. Last July, Brodkorb filed a lawsuit against the Senate, the state of Minnesota and Secretary of the Senate Cal Ludeman, claiming gender discrimination. He claims he was treated differently than female staffers who had affairs with male legislators. The lawsuit, which is pending, is seeking damages in excess of $500,000. —Jessica Harper

Rosemount man injured in Rice County crash A Rosemount man was injured, and his vehicle was totaled, in a two-vehicle collision last week in Rice County. Michael G. Stewart, 35, was taken to Northfield Hospital with minor injuries following the crash at about 6 a.m. Thursday, March 7, on Highway 19 west of Northfield.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Stewart was driving a 2007 Freightliner Tilt west on Highway 19 when an eastbound 1997 Ford Explorer driven by 30-yearold Cody R. Franzoni of Minneapolis crossed the centerline and collided head-on with Stewart’s vehicle.

Franzoni suffered serious injuries and was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center, the State Patrol said. Franzoni was not wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred and alcohol was detected in his system, according to the State Patrol. Stewart was wearing a seatbelt and no

alcohol was detected in his system. Both vehicles were totaled in the crash and had to be towed from the scene. Conditions were dry on the two-lane, undivided highway at the time of the accident, the State Patrol said. —Andrew Miller

Police dog dies of health issues One of Eagan’s police canines died last week after battling pneumonia and other health issues. Zebo, a German shepherd, was euthanized March 8 due to his failing health. He recently underwent surgery at the University of Minnesota for a debilitating intestinal disorder. While recovering from the surgery, Zebo contracted pneumonia. By Friday, his health had rapidly deteriorated and veterinarians determined he likely wouldn’t recover. Zebo served with the Eagan Police Department for five years alongside Officer Robbe Waller. The duo was well known in the community for their many public demonstrations and appearances at local events, in addition to being dedicated crime fighters who

Two Burnsville residents sentenced in federal case involving cocaine Two Burnsville residents were sentenced on March 4 for conspiring to possess and sell about 250 grams of cocaine. Appearing in federal court in St. Paul, McCelendon Miller, 26, was sentenced to four years

and four months in federal prison. Kelly Suzette Chase, 28, received probation. A third defendant, Brian Funtaneous Mack, 26, of Robbinsdale, was sentenced on March 6 to four years and three months

in federal prison, also for conspiracy to possess and sell cocaine. All three pleaded guilty last September, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis. Miller made arrangements to obtain cocaine

from a source in Chicago, and after Miller’s arrest, his girlfriend, Chase, obtained the cocaine from Mack. Miller also directed Chase to store the cocaine in their Burnsville apartment. On Feb. 9, 2012, during

the execution of a search warrant at the apartment, officers seized 249 grams of cocaine, along with a firearm, in a safe. The case was the result of an investigation by the Twin Cities Safe Streets Violent Gang Task Force,

which is led by the FBI and includes the Minneapolis Police Department. The task force targets the most violent gangs operating in the Twin Cities and those engaged in largescale trafficking of illegal drugs.

Opinion

Bipartisanship is found in Legislature, Congress by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Most politicians are guilty as charged, guilty of over using the words bipartisan and bipartisanship. During most election campaigns, whether it’s for city council, county board, state house, state senate, governor, U.S. house, U.S. senator or president of the United States, we will hear candidates calling for bipartisanship. When a politician sends a press release regarding legislation being proposed or adopted, it is often stated that the agreement was bipartisan. The word bipartisan is defined in the dictionary as an adjective: “representing, characterized by, or including members from two parties or factions: Government leaders hope to achieve a bipartisan foreign policy.” Sometimes political parties overstate the term bipartisan to describe an agreement. In actuality, there may have been only one member of the other party in support of a bill. To get a sense of how younger people define bipartisanship, I had the question “What does the term bipartisan mean to you?” sent to high school social studies students in Forest Lake. Seventy-seven students responded that they had no idea, or didn’t know the term. Thirteen students responded that they assumed it had something to do with “two” of something but weren’t

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Howard Lestrud sure what. Of the 120 students, 64 percent didn’t know or hadn’t heard of it, 10 percent understood the prefix “bi,” and 24 percent took a stab at what it meant. A few seemed to be right on, responding with such answers as “Bipartisan means that technically two, both, Democratic & Republican political parties are working together on a certain task.” How do politicians view the words bipartisan and bipartisanship? President Obama uses bipartisanship to describe the recent adoption of the Violence Against Women Act by the U.S. Senate: “Today the Senate passed a strong bipartisan bill to reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. This important step shows what we can do when we come together across party lines to take up a just cause. The bill passed by the Senate will help reduce homicides that occur from domestic violence, improve the criminal justice response to rape and sexual assault, address the high rates of dating violence experienced by young women, and provide justice to the most vulner-

able among us.” State Senate Majority Leader Thomas Bakk says bipartisanship is … a process where the two opposing sides on an issue come together, listen to each other, and recognize the opportunity for a ‘win-win’ solution to a problem. “Hard-earned, bipartisan compromise requires legislators to prioritize those things they must have and accept other things they may dislike, but can tolerate,” he said. “Though it is a difficult process, disagreements that are resolved in a bipartisan way usually result in an improved final product.” State Rep. Bob Dettmer, says bipartisanship happens when Democrats and Republicans work together to do the people’s work. “It is necessary to come together on certain issues, for example, veterans issues,” he said. “We all have principles and values and if I go against my principles and values, it’s time for me to step away from this job.” “Bipartisanship means that the things that unite us are greater than the things that divide us,” says U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar. “It is standing next to someone you don’t always agree with and working with them for the betterment of this county.” U.S. Sen. Al Franken says certain issues – like farm policy and veterans issues – enjoy a lot of bipartisan agreement in Congress. He says frequent bipartisan agree-

ment is found in support of industries that are vital to Minnesota’s economy, such as “fighting against burdensome taxes that would harm our medical device manufacturers, or protecting our fishing, boating, and tourism industries from invasive species.” “The most gratifying examples of bipartisanship are ones that don’t involve state or regional interests, but where we transcend party differences to work in the best interest of the entire country,” he said. “That happens more often than most people realize. For example, just last week, the Senate came together and, with a large, bipartisan majority, passed the Violence Against Women Act.” A bipartisan approach to life means that sharing our commonalities and our difference will often result in a strong agreement between two or more people. Bipartisanship is not always easy to achieve. Gridlock sometimes appears in its place because partisanship is preferred. It takes courage to step away from a party position in politics. When that happens, it results in a sharing of thoughts and values on a particular issue. ECM political editor Howard Lestrud can be reached at howard.lestrud@ecm-inc. com.

Letters State economy bears watching To the editor: Recent letters reflect the importance of continued government investment in our state’s economy. The good news about our state’s improving economic picture and resulting revenues to the state treasury are tempered by the governor’s withdrawal of business-to-business taxes from the state’s revenue proposals. Nevertheless, the emphasis on adequate K-12 funding this year and progress on repayment of borrowed money from school funding are good news. The proof of that pudding will be the size of classes this coming fall. Failure to prime the economic pump with a good education makes any recovery short-lived. Other essential elements include ongoing funding for road and bridge repair, continued emphasis on transit development, innovative public-private partnership in areas like housing, job and business development, and help on property taxes for low-income seniors and other vulnerable people. As the economy continues to improve, there may come the cry about how we should “return the money to the taxpayers.” I hope we can consider the value of a state rainy-day fund so can retain solvency while not endangering the state’s bond rating. Over time, this has been one of the bigger challenges facing our state. With judicious

watchfulness, we can shepherd Minnesota back to a full financial and economic health. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

Who’s advocating for Minnesota? To the editor: In response to the guest columnist, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce President, David C. Olson, I was surprised to read such a blatant call to businesses to move to Wisconsin or Florida. Is this how the president of the Minnesota Chamber should spend his time and powers? Shilling for the anti-tax “jobcreators” (still waiting for the jobs, by the way) instead of cheer leading for the state to actually attract businesses? Is it part of his job description to denigrate the state for which he is supposed to increase business by pointing out the other states where taxes are lower? Our quality of life and life expectancy is proof that extra cost pays off in the long run. But investors aren’t interested in the long run, just the quick profit.

Now the Legislature will be putting together a budget proposal and I will work to incorporate the priorities I’ve heard from constituents: investments in education and our future, a budget balanced honestly and without gimmicks, and a budget that keeps Minnesota economically competitive and allows our businesses to succeed.

‘Life gets in the way’ National award honors Burnsville man’s commitment to earning degree by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Joshua Young took his first two college courses in Somalia in 1993, the year of the Battle of Mogadishu. Deployed with the Army’s 977th Military Police Company, Young and a few others studied between missions under a fellow soldier with a master’s degree. “Obviously, the conditions were spartan, to say the least,” said Young, who took an intro to criminal justice course and a juvenile justice course. “But we would find time.” In December 2012, the 39-year-old Burnsville resident finally finished his bachelor’s degree in police science. Young wouldn’t be denied his college degree, despite years of detours that included a tour in Iraq, Army officer school, new fatherhood, a broken back and some life-saving exploits as a Minneapolis cop. He’s one of two students nationwide named a 2012 Adult Learner of the Year by the American Council on Education. The award, given by the major coordinating body for the nation’s colleges and universities, honors students who have used ACE’s recommendations for workplace or military credit while juggling school, career, family and community service.

“I’m the first person in my family to have a bachelor’s degree. And that was important to me,” said Young, who traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this month to receive his ACE award. “I had wanted to do it for a while. Life gets in the way.” College wasn’t first on Young’s mind when he graduated from high school in suburban Philadelphia in 1992. He wanted to go but lacked the money, and knew the GI Bill could set him up later. “My grandfather served in World War II and Korea,” said Young, who enlisted in the Army while still in high school, during the Gulf War. “My father’s a Vietnam vet. It was kind of a family tradition to serve.” He served in Mogadishu during the Blackhawk Down episode and lost a good friend in combat while patrolling the tense city streets as part of the 977th MPs’ quick-reaction force. Young also managed to earn his first college credits, granted through Central Texas College. “It was a good distraction,” he said of the studies. He left active duty in 1998 and eventually wound up near Lansing, Mich., working as an officer with the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department. Young finished an as-

sociate’s degree through Lansing Community College while also serving with the Reserves and then the National Guard. Minneapolis police recruiters came to Michigan in 2005, and Young was hired. Settling in Minnesota, he connected with St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, which offers accelerated bachelor’s degree programs geared to nontraditional students. Young arrived with 70 credits under his belt. St. Mary’s granted him 35 ACE-recommended credits, leaving Young with 36 more to earn. He took most of his courses at a St. Mary’s satellite site in Apple Valley. Young also found a kindred spirit in Don Winger, his police science program adviser at St. Mary’s. Winger is a Vietnam vet, a former St. Paul police commander and a retired Maplewood police chief. Already an experienced cop, Young was a mentor and role model to other students in the program, Winger said. “He’s a deep thinker who’s just a pleasure to have in the classroom, who cares about the other students,” said Winger, who joined two St. Mary’s deans in nominating Young for the Adult Learner of the Year Award. After Young settled on St. Mary’s as his finishing

(Photo submitted) school, life got in the way again. In 2009 he got orders to go to Iraq with the 151st Field Artillery of the Minnesota National Guard. Deployed from April 2009 to April 2010, Young commanded a radar unit on a forward operating base on the Iranian border. His team tracked the skies for incoming mortars and rockets. “We took a lot of incoming rounds during the time we were there,” Young said. “The mission of the FOB was to interdict along the Iranian border for insurgents coming across.” After Iraq he was asked to attend officer candidate school and was promoted to lieutenant. That put him in line for a captaincy

– another reason, he said, to finish that college degree in timely fashion. “You can’t advance if you don’t have your degree, and you’re on a timeline as well,” Young said. He earned a Lifesaving Award from the Minneapolis police in 2011 for dislodging a grape from a choking 8-month-old baby whose non-English-speaking parents had called 911. Young received a Medal of Commendation last year after interrupting a woman’s beating by a man who had broken into her apartment and was threatening to kill her. The man is in prison now. Young wound up in a brace after breaking his back when he and the man tumbled down the stairs midstruggle.

Almost a year later, he was recently cleared to return to patrol. Young was in the brace when he finished his degree in December. What didn’t hurt was the 3.92 grade-point average he’d accumulated over years of coursework. “I have a couple of Aminuses that knocked me down,” said Young, whose wife, Heather, gave birth to their first child, son Sean, on New Year’s Day 2012, and is now expecting their second. “Maybe a Bplus. I did pretty good.” In May he’ll begin work on a master’s degree in criminal justice through Arizona State University.

A St. Paul man faces more than four years in prison for a high-speed chase in Eagan that landed a woman in the hospital. Jeremy James Rodriguez, 30, was sentenced in Dakota County District Court on March 5 to 20 months in prison for felony theft of a motor vehicle, 17 months for fleeing police, a felony, and one year in jail for gross misdemeanor gross negligence while operating a motor vehicle. District Judge Arlene Perkkio gave Rodriguez credit for a total of 84 days. Rodriguez fled Eagan police on Feb. 6 when they attempted to pull him over for a missing front license plate. Rodriguez reached speeds of 80 mph as he led police on a chase down Highway 13. Eventually, the vehicle hit an icy patch, spun out of control and rolled at least once on the east side of the road. Rodriguez was arrested as he climbed out of the vehicle. A female passenger was transferred to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for nonlife-threatening injuries. Officers subsequently discovered the vehicle Rodriguez was driving had been stolen. Rodriguez has a lengthy criminal history that includes felony convictions for theft, receiving stolen property, first-degree criminal property damage and possession of a firearm by an ineligible person.

RIDE, from 1A in meeting his goal. The trip isn’t the avid cyclist’s first longdistance bike ride. A few years ago, he rode from Minneapolis to Chicago to raise money for AIDS research. Laurel followed her father’s footsteps last year when she cycled 500 miles across Minnesota to raise money for Venture Expeditions. The Inver Hills Community College student discovered the nonprofit through her family’s church. Although she wasn’t an avid cyclist like her father, Laurel decided to meet the challenge because she strongly believes in the cause. “I’m not super-athletic or passionate about cycling, but it’s a really worthwhile reason,” Laurel said. “I feel this is something I can do to engage in the world.” By the end, Laurel was exhausted but felt a sense of pride knowing what she accomplished, she said. Laurel said her trip across the state enabled her to see the landscape in more detail than driving in a car. She said she is excited to

Revved up for the Awana Grand Prix

Another senior housing co-op planned in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Construction of Burnsville’s fifth senior housing cooperative was endorsed by City Council members at their March 12 work session. United Properties plans to build about 52 co-op units for people 62 and older on the remaining 1.8 acres of the Uptown Landing condominium property, located north of Burnsville Parkway in the Heart of the City. One Uptown Landing building was built six years ago, but two more condo buildings approved for the site never materialized. The developer plans an “upper-end senior co-op community” with prices averaging $290,000 and unit sizes averaging 1,450 square feet, according to

Members of the Awana Club youth group at Apple Valley Baptist Church took to the racetrack on Sunday, March 10, for the annual Awana Grand Prix. The kids built their cars for the Pinewood Derby-style outreach event at construction workshops with Awana leaders and parents in the weeks leading up to the race.

Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner. The project is called Applewood Pointe. United Properties has built three Applewood Pointe senior co-ops in Bloomington, two in Roseville, one in New Brighton and one in Maple Grove. The project “fits nicely with the surrounding residential uses,” said a city staff report. “The project will provide more parking opportunities for Uptown Landing residents and bring outstanding taxes and assessments current. The project is owner-occupied and will add to the tax base of the city.” Seventy is the average age in Applewood Pointe’s 600 co-op units, said Alex Hall of United Properties. He said there’s keen interest in the Burnsville project among local se-

niors. Under rules of the federal Housing and Urban Development mortgage used to build the Applewood Pointe projects, financing isn’t secured until a project is 60 percent presold, Hall said. Co-op owners buy into a master mortgage on the building, he said. The four-story building would face First Avenue. Each unit would have an underground parking stall. The developer plans to acquire the lower-level parking stalls in the Uptown Landing building for Applewood Pointe owners, but also for Uptown Landing owners to buy or use, according to the report.

MUSIC, from 1A play three other times until March 24, Carroll will be doing more than double that duty since he also plays in the group Forty Shades of Green, led by Farmington fiddler Mary Vanorny. Forty Shades has five shows slated in the same time frame (see box). It’s a labor of love for Carroll, who doesn’t see much labor in it anyway. “Part of the enjoyment comes from the fact that the music itself is inherently fun – clever, engaging, fascinating,� he said. “Because of that, musicians love to play it and sing it, and the fun that they have while doing so is usually noticed and appreciated by audience members. That fact makes the performance more fun for the audience, and their enjoyment further fuels the musicians. It is a ‘feedback loop’ of the best possible kind.� Carroll has been earning those positive audience responses for the past 13 years since Legacy was formed. Forty Shades was established in 2008 when the members, also including Paul Garding of St. Paul and Liz Anderson of White Bear Lake, played together for the first time at the Carpenter Nature Center in Hastings in 2008. Carroll said both bands play traditional Irish instrumental tunes (jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc.) and sing a wide variety of traditional and contemporary Irish vocal music. The instruments that they play include fiddle, flute, tin whistle (sometimes referred to as a penny whistle), guitar, mandolin, bass, accordion and Carroll’s instrument, the bodhran, which is an Irish hand drum. When asked why the Irish music tradition has survived so well, Carroll

Irish music apup,� he said. “(These were) songs or stories or poems or dances that they could share with others on social occasions, which is one of the aspects of Irish culture that I most admire. “I suspect that this type of ‘genetic predisposition to entertain’ is one of the reasons why so many second, third and fourth generation Irish-Americans end up in bands that play and sing traditional Irish music.� It seems to have stuck with their children, too. Kevin and Maureen Kelly-Carroll’s children, Norah, Connor and Shannon, all participated in Irish dance groups and played instruments growing up. -BODF % $BSOBIBO .BSZ &MMFO “The lively nature of Irish music and its vari + V M Z .

A loss stoked Eastview skaters’ fire After first state appearance in 12 years, future looks promising by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Some pointed to a tournament in Rochester as a springboard for Eastview’s run to the state boys hockey tournament. Others cited back-toback victories over Eagan and Prior Lake in January for putting more swagger in the Lightning’s stride. For Eastview coach Drey Bradley, a loss might have made the biggest difference. It happened Jan. 8. The Lightning came in with four victories in a row, its longest winning streak of the season, and was about to play Rosemount, a lower-division team in the South Suburban Conference. “They beat us 3-0 in our building,” Bradley said. Turning to assistant coach Sam Bauler, Bradley said, “Sam, do you remember our practice the next day?” Bauler flashed a small grin and nodded slightly. “There were no pucks at that practice,” said Bradley. When a hockey coach takes away the pucks at practice, it almost always

Eastview’s Cole Cooper take control of the puck at state. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) means there will be a lot of hard skating as the coach tries to get a point across. “Let’s just say we got their attention,” Bradley said. The message – that the Lightning can’t just show up at the rink thinking it’s won before the game even starts – was received, and Eastview went 11-5-1 in its last 16 games, ending with a 5-2 loss to Moorhead on Saturday in the consolation final at the state Class AA tournament. Eastview was at its best in the Section 3AA tour-

nament, outscoring three opponents 12-1 and upsetting top-seeded Eagan 4-1 in the championship game. That sent the Lightning to state for the first time since 2001. Now the coaches are looking for ways to carry the success over to next season and try to ensure that it won’t be 12 years before the next state appearance. It won’t be easy. Eagan, which won the section the previous two years, figures to have even more motivation next season. The

(Photo by Rick Orndorf) section also picks up St. Thomas Academy, which is moving to Class AA after winning the last three Class A championships. Eastview should be plenty motivated next year too, Bradley said. “The guys have tasted it,” he said. “They had a

few extra games at Xcel Center and Mariucci Arena, two great places to play. “We lose a number of key seniors, but we have a good core of underclassmen. And now that they’ve been to the state tournament, they should

be hungry.” Eastview finished 1911-1 after winning one of three games at the state tournament. The Lightning had a rough start against No. 1 seed Hill-Murray in the See STATE, 13A

The Eastview girls basketball team has made its second-straight visit and its sixth trip to state overall this week after winning the Section 3-4A title on March 7 over Park of Cottage Grove. The girls took an early lead and fought off any advances to beat the Wolfpack 61-45 at Hamline

University in St. Paul. The Lightning had a height advantage against Park and ran with it. Forwards Hana Metoxen had 19 points and Tyra Johnson added 14. Madison Guebert also had 19 points. “We knew it was going to be a tough game,” head coach Melissa Guebert said. “I was really proud of how our kids set the tone.”

Eagles take care of business in playoffs Boys basketball plays for spot at state Friday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley has been a target since before the boys basketball season even started, when the Eagles opened at No. 1 in the state Class 4A rankings. They’re No. 1 right now, too, and there’s no indication that the pressure’s getting to them. After brushing aside their first two Section 3-4A playoff opponents, the Eagles have a 26-game winning streak and are one victory from going to the state tournament for the first time since 2009. “They’ve handled it really well,” coach Zach Goring said after Apple Valley defeated CretinDerham Hall 74-47 in the section semifinals Saturday at Burnsville High School. “There were some situations where we really needed to stick with our game plan, and the kids had the composure to do it.” CDH stayed relatively close in the first half, trail-

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) ing 33-24, before Apple Valley pulled away in the second half. The Eagles held the Raiders under 30 percent shooting in the second half. CDH made

only two of its 18 threepoint attempts after halftime. “Robert Tobroxen and Harry Sonie and Tyus (Jones) and Dustin

(Fronk) really did a good job defensively tonight against some kids who are good shooters,” Goring said. Jones had 21 points, 10 steals and seven assists. Junior forward Dennis Austin had 15 points and seven rebounds. Fronk scored 13 points, and freshman center Brock Bertram had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Joe Rosga, a sophomore guard, had 21 points for Cretin-Derham Hall. Apple Valley, the No. 1 seed in Section 3, routed eighth-seeded Park of Cottage Grove 104-46 in a quarterfinal game March 6. The Eagles, who led 64-22 at halftime, made 40 of 68 field-goal attempts. Chris Laymon, a senior forward, made seven three-pointers and finished with 21 points. Bertram and Austin had 17 points each. Apple Valley plays upset-minded Rosemount in the section championship game at 7 p.m. Friday at Burnsville High School.

Rosemount, seeded seventh in the section, defeated No. 2 seed East Ridge in the quarterfinals and outlasted No. 6 seed Henry Sibley 82-75 in the semifinals Saturday. Rosemount (9-19) lost two regular-season games to Apple Valley by more than 20 points. Goring moved quickly to try to keep the Eagles from overconfidence. Rosemount has “two really good guards,” Goring said. “We’ve had trouble with (Garrett) Goetz and (Cole) Northwick in the past. Northwick has made six three-pointers in a game against us.” The Apple Valley-Rosemount winner will go to the state Class 4A quarterfinals Wednesday, March 20, at the Target Center in Minneapolis. If Apple Valley wins the Section 3 championship, it likely will go into state as the No. 1 seed.

tin-Derham Hall 59-48 in the Section 3-4A quarterfinals March 6. Eastview played without its two leading scorers, senior forward Ben Oberfeld and junior guard Mark Dwyer. Oberfeld sustained a high ankle sprain in practice two days before the playoff game and Dwyer was diagnosed with mononucleosis. Combined, the two averaged more than 28 points a game. Guard T.J. Sinn, a senior captain, led Eastview with 19 points against Cretin-Derham Hall. In what turned out to be his final game for Eastview, Oberfeld scored 22 points against Burnsville on March 1 to move to fourth on the Lightning’s career scoring list with 1,020 points. Oberfeld, a Bucknell University recruit, is Eastview’s career rebounding leader.

AVHS boys hockey coach resigns Hayes was state coach of year in 2010 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Jerry Hayes, Apple Valley High School’s boys hockey coach for the last 15 years, has resigned, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. Apple Valley was 220164-20 during his tenure. The Eagles finished fourth in the 2010 state Class AA tournament, which was the school’s first appearance at state STATE, from 12A quarterfinal round March 7, falling behind 4-0 early in the second period and eventually losing 6-3. “We wanted to go out, give a good effort and look at the scoreboard halfway through and still see a tight game,” Bradley said. “But that didn’t quite happen for us.” Said senior defenseman Mitch Beattie: “We kind of got distracted by the big lights and we’re inexperienced with all these things going on around us. But as our coach said, once we got back on our feet we seemed to be able to play with those guys.” Sophomore defenseEASTVIEW, from 12A every play and just on the little things.” The Lightning had a 16-point lead at halftime, but Park wouldn’t go away. With six minutes left, Park cut the lead to eight points. “The game can change so fast with the threepoint shot, I just told them to not get rattled,” Melissa Guebert said. “We just stayed the course. Just looking at the kids by their body language, I knew that they were OK.” Composure was the name of Eastview’s game. “Our coach really pushes up to be composed,” Metoxen said. “We knew

since its championship in 1996. He also was Class AA coach of the year in 2010. His teams reached seven section championship games. “It has been an absolute honor and privilege to represent Apple Valley High School as the boys hockey coach for the past 15 seasons,” Hayes said in a statement released by the school. “I have always treated the position

as a huge responsibility to represent the school and the community as well as we could. I hope that spirit was conveyed these past years.” Before coming to Apple Valley, Hayes coached at Minneapolis Southwest for three years, and his teams won 45 games. Hayes, a social studies teacher at Apple Valley High School, also has been an assistant softball coach.

man Keith Muehlbauer, junior forward Mitchell Cerrato and junior forward Brett Schweiger scored Eastview’s goals against Hill-Murray. Cerrato’s second goal of the game with 1:27 to play was the game-winner as Eastview defeated Centennial 3-2 in a consolation semifinal game March 8. That gave the Lightning a chance for one more game, and its season ended with Saturday’s loss to Moorhead. Senior forward Ryan McNamara also scored against Centennial. Jake McGlocklin and McNamara had Eastview’s goals in the Moorhead game. Next year’s team

should be strong from the goal out with the return of Zach Driscoll, a sophomore who became the starting goalie in late December. Returning forwards include McGlocklin, who played on the first line, and the second line of Cerrato, John Snodgrass and Cole Cooper. Muehlbauer and Pierce Erickson will anchor the defense. Getting the players to work hard shouldn’t be a problem, Bradley said, because they know after this season that nothing comes easily.

the fans would be loud. But right now we played the best we’ve ever played as a team.” Eventually Park had to foul. In turn, Eastview made its free throws and punched its secondstraight ticket to state. “We worked so hard over the summer and we knew we had to get to this game,” Metoxen said. The girls received a significant emotional boost from their fans as well, even though across town the Eastview boys hockey team was playing at the state tournament. “We were worried about what our crowd would look like,” Melissa Guebert said. “I was so

proud of our turnout. They really helped us.” Eastview was given the No. 3 seed in the Class 4A state tournament. The girls were scheduled to play Rochester Mayo, which upset Lakeville North in the Section 1-4A final, in the state quarterfinal at Target Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday, after Sun Thisweek’s deadline.

Thisweekend Spinning a web of wonder ‘Charlotte’s Web’ comes to Lakeville Area Arts Center March 15-24 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A local children’s theater group is bringing the timeless wonder of “Charlotte’s Web” to the stage of the Lakeville Area Arts Center this month – giant spider webs and all. Young actors with Lakeville-based The Play’s The Thing Productions, ranging in age from 6 to 16, will be donning animal costumes and presenting a musical version of the classic E.B.
