Housing construction to begin on Carriage Hills Lennar gets final go-ahead for first phase of Stonehaven development by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The embattled golf course that once was Carriage Hills will soon be overtaken by Bobcats and bulldozers as a new housing development gets under way on the property. Construction is expected to

EAGAN begin this week on the first phase of Stonehaven, a Lennar development that will ultimately consist of 363 mixed housing units on 115 acres, with 35 acres preserved as open space. A previous plan approved for the land – submitted in 2008 by Wensmann Homes before it went out of business – called for 480 units of mixed-use housing on 120 ares, with 30 acres preserved as green space.

While the Lennar plan lowers the overall density, critics have charged that the added open space is less useful because it’s mainly around the perimeter of the development. But Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire said he is comfortable with the plan. “To their credit, Lennar has worked hard with neighbors to reduce housing density, plan walking trails and preserve relatively more open space,� he said. “They have proposed what should be an attractive development in Eagan

for both new and existing residents.� Stonehaven is billed as a multigenerational neighborhood that will offer a wide variety of homes for all ages and income levels. The first of its four phases will include 39 single-family homes and a pool house/amenity center and is expected to be completed by November, said Tim Fohr, marketing manager for Lennar Minnesota. The second phase, which will add more single-family homes as well as twin homes, is expected to

begin construction next spring. Future phases will bring row townhomes and a multi-level senior housing building to the mix. Homes will range in size from 1,700 finished square feet to more than 3,300 finished square feet and will be priced from $200,000 to about $550,000. All of the homes will be built with energy efficient windows, lighting, appliances, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, according to Lennar.

Water rate hike aims to encourage conservation Price increase, mandated by state, takes effect July 1 by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Between watering the lawn, filling the pool, and washing the car, the summer months bring a marked increase in water usage. As of July 1, residents will start paying more for using more water.

The city of Eagan is raising its water rates this summer as part of a state mandate to encourage conservation. The legislation, passed in 2008, required cities to adopt a new rate structure by 2010. Eagan’s current water usage rate is $1.40 per thousand gallons. To develop the new rate

structure, the city looked at the historic water usage of each home during the winter months and established a baseline. As of July 1, water usage below that baseline amount will be charged at the existing rate of $1.40 per thousand gallons, while any usage above that amount will be charged at $1.75 per thousand gallons. “If your regular usage is 20,000 gallons in the winter, then it jumps to 60,000 in the sum-

mer, your bill will be $14 more under the new rate structure,� said Tom Garrison, Eagan’s communications director. Commercial/industrial buildings and townhomes typically have separate irrigation meters for lawn watering that will automatically be applied at the higher rate, said Chief Financial Officer Tom Pepper. Pepper said he does not expect the change will bring addiSee Water, 12A

Array of experiences represented on new arts center commission Thirty-nine residents apply; City Council selects nine

BURNSVILLE

by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Executives, actors and an arena-management veteran are among the first appointees to the Burnsville Arts Center Advisory Commission. The City Council appointed nine members June 22 to one-, two- and three-year terms. The council decided to appoint a commission after a rocky first year for the $20 million, city-owned center, which opened in January 2009. A shortage of bookings led to larger operating subsidies

than projected. And an accounting firm’s review found numerous problems with handling of accounting, financial reporting and contract-compliance procedures. The center is managed by Iowa-based VenuWorks. Council members said a commission would add a window of oversight and expertise through which they could get a better handle on operations. They sought applicants with expertise in areas including business operations, event planning and the entertainment business. Appointees also include a representative of Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts

Center, a center user-group representative and an arts community representative. Thirty-nine Burnsville residents applied for the nine seats. “I guess we were all really surprised – nearly 40 applicants for the Burnsville Performing Arts Center,� Council Member Dan Kealey said, praising the mix of youth and experience among applicants. The center has been widely criticized, but one appointee, Kathleen Cleveland, wrote, “This is an opportunity to represent the voice of the silent majority that value the high quality of life that is enhanced by the arts and culture of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.�

The council appointed staggered terms so they don’t all expire at once. One-year appointees are: • Garrick Dietze, an actor and producer who serves on the board of the Chameleon Theatre Circle, the resident company of the center’s black-box theater. He’s a campaign specialist for Internet Broadcasting in St. Paul. • Steve Preus, executive director of the Presbyterian Homes Foundation, which raises funds for the senior living communities and home-care services of Presbyterian Homes and Services. • David Ulrich, director of marketing and events for SpecSee Commission, 12A

Blaming economic forces that he says doomed his former freight business, Burnsville City Council Member Dan Gustafson is seeking Chapter 7 bank- Gustafson ruptcy protection. Gustafson, 57, is claiming $1.28 million in debts and $223,375 in assets, the largest being his $212,000 home at 1305 Lacota Lane. With his $700-a-month council job as his only employment, Gustafson said he’s seeking work in government affairs or with a nonprofit. Gustafson said he has a hearing next month on the request to discharge his debts. “I went into depression last year for a while,� said Gustafson, who claims 30 years’ experience in the freight business. “I went from having a decent company with good income to a company in deep trouble and no income. That was pretty depressing. My friends have truly helped me along.� The two-term council member said his financial troubles are no secret to fellow council members or City Hall staffers and don’t affect or reflect his performance as an elected official. “Even through I’ve been suffering privately with the things I have to deal with, the city has been moving forward. And during this time the city financially has been doing quite well,� Gustafson said, citing the premier Aaa bond rating Burnsville earned this spring. The largest of numerous claims listed in his June 10 filing is $266,000 owed to Concert Group Logistics, the Illinois freight-forwarding firm with which Gustafson had an Eagan franchise. The firm took over the failing franchise last July and cancelled his contract, Gustafson said. Claims include $151,379 owed to the Lindquist and Vennum law firm and $125,047 owed to New Jersey-based Allstates WorldCargo. Gustafson had an Allstates franchise in Eagan for seven years starting in 1999. He said he steered the franchise from monthly losses to profitability and annual revenue that peaked at $5 million. But Gustafson said he grew dissatisfied with the parent company and racked up large legal bills with Lindquist and Vennum as he sought to extricate himself from a long-term contract. He ended up agreeing to pay $2,000 a week for three years to end the conSee Gustafson, 9A

Sign regulations suspended for business owners in Parkway construction zone way from Aldrich Avenue on the west to Parkwood Drive on the east. But business at Anthony’s Parkway Grille, 251 W. Burnsville Parkway, has suffered during construction, owner Tony Marvets told the council. He said that his other nearby establishment — Bumper’s Restaurant and Sports Bar on Harriet Avenue South — is also losing business. Anthony’s Parkway Grille, which opened last September with 90 employees, is down to 35, Marvets said. “We have a first-year business,� he said. “One of the most troublesome business to make it is a restaurant.� Council Member Dan Kealey said the close presence of heavy equipment and bare dirt surface motorists have to cross might send a message that they’re forbidden from turning into the business. “When we have a road ripped apart like that, we have to go way beyond what we normally do� to show access points, Kealey said. “We need to do more to protect the businesses,� he said. Some drivers are probably avoiding the Parkway altogether during construction, Council Member Mary Sherry said. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

City seeks dog who bit girl Authorities are looking for the owners of a dachshund, possibly named Lucy, to verify rabies shots THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Eagan Animal Control is looking for a dog that bit an 8-year-old girl to make sure the dog is up to date on its rabies vaccinations. The dog, described as a dachshund named Lucy, was on a walk with its owners at the time of the bite, said Animal Control Officer Karen Grimm. On June 16, the girl approached the owners as they walked by her home on the 4400 block of Fawn Ridge Trail around 7:30 p.m. She was interacting with their two dogs when one of the dogs allegedly bit her ankle. The girl may not have told the owners about the bite, which reportedly broke the skin but was only a minor injury that did not require medical attention. The couple was described as a man and a woman in their 60s, and the dogs were described as “wiener dogs,�

or dachshunds. Eagan Animal Control needs to locate the dog to verify its rabies vaccination and to observe it for signs of rabies, Grimm said. If they can’t locate the dog, the girl’s family will have to consider whether to get her rabies-prevention shots. Rabies is extremely rare in domestic dogs, said Dr. Sherry Fornseth, assistant clinical professor at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center. In fact, according to the Minnesota Department of Health, the state receives only about four reports of dogs being infected with rabies each year. “Most dogs are vaccinated, so that offers good protection,� Fornseth said. Wildlife, especially skunks and raccoons, is at a much greater risk for carrying rabies, she said. When dogs do become infected

Founding families celebrated at Funfest Descendants of one of Eagan’s 1860 Founding Families (as listed on the 1860 census) are invited by the Eagan Historical Society and the Eagan 150th Celebration Committee to participate in two events during Eagan’s July 4th Funfest. Up to two members of each descendant family may ride on the 1860 Founding Families Bus in the Eagan Funfest Parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 3. If family members wish to ride in the 1954 vintage bus in the Funfest parade with other Founding Families, please contact the Eagan Historical Society by Thursday, July 1. Space is limited to 50 people inside the bus but unlimited family members are welcome to

walk beside the bus. Bring the entire family and visit with Historical Society members and other founding families at the 1860 Founding Families recognition table and historical display area at the Eagan Funfest Patriot’s Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, July 4 from 7 a.m. to noon. The breakfast includes pancakes, sausage, eggs and a beverage. Tickets are available in advance through the Historical Society or are $6 at the door. For information and reservations, contact the Eagan Historical Society at historicalsociety@cityofeagan.com or at (651)675-5038. The 1860 census can be found at www.cityofeagan.com/history.

with rabies, it is most often transmitted through bites from wildlife. While it is very unlikely that the dog in question has rabies, “It is recommended to find the dog,� Fornseth said. The dog would need to be observed for 10 days, during which time it would show signs of rabies if it were infected, she said. Authorities are not looking to seize the dog, but rather make sure it is not a rabies risk. If the dog can be located, properly observed, and is found to be healthy, the owners will be able to keep it, Grimm said. Anyone with information about this dog is asked to contact the Eagan Police Department at (651) 6755700 and refer to case file #10-3740.

build houses on Carriage Hills is the result of a sixyear legal battle that included the former golf course owner, developers and the city. Lennar bought the controversial property in December from the Rahn Family Partnership, which had been trying to sell it for years after claiming it was no longer viable as a golf course. A previous purchase agreement between Rahn and Wensmann Homes, signed in 2003, led to a lawsuit against the city when it refused to change the landuse designation to allow housing on the property. A settlement agreement in 2008 let voters decide the fate of the land through a ballot referendum, with residents rejecting the city’s potential $10.25 million purchase of the property for preservation as open space. Just days after voters cleared the way for housing on the land, Wensmann went out of business, leaving the Rahn Family holding the land. The property, located off of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Ave., has been closed as a golf course since 2004. It was a total of 120 acres until the city purchased about five acres for a new fire safety center, which is currently under construction. Erin Johnson is at eagan. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist My dad, my daughter – two wonderful lives by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

My parents were in town recently from Des Moines, Iowa, to visit their granddaughter for the first time. Eleanor Rose was born Feb. 24, 2010 – the eighth grandchild for my parents. Our time with them was spent showering our first child with attention as we smiled and laughed during the evening over dinner and a few drinks. When my parents arrived at the in-laws’ house across town to spend the night, my dad had a slight slur in his speech (attributed to his goofy nature) and such a weakness in his knee that he had to scoot down the steps to get to the bedroom. In the morning when my dad rose to get out of bed his left leg gave out from under him and he tumbled onto the floor. With his face drooping a bit on his left side, it was apparent my father had suffered a stroke. It’s been over two months since that day and my dad’s recovery to this point has been slow and difficult to absorb since his

old vibrancy has not returned yet, along with the full use of his left leg and arm. The range of emotions went to extremes during my first Father’s Day as a dad and the first with my dad in a medical rehabilitation center a few hundred miles away. The birth of a child and the vulnerability of old age illustrate the fragile gift of life and the sacrifices expected to care for and bring a new person into this world. Eleanor and my dad both are in need of attention 24 hours a day. Being a parent is life’s emotional system check. It tests to make sure we still can still feel extreme measures of joy, fear, amazement, apprehension, exuberance, paranoia all in the span of about two minutes. Four months after the birth of our daughter, I’m still struck by the impossibility of it all. It was a difficult pregnancy for my wife – an emotional roller coaster for us both as several factors made it a less than smooth delivery. The outcome was an emotional purging pouring forth in tears

Proud grandfather Bill Johnson holds Eleanor Rose for the first time. of joy, hugs, kisses, smiles and laughter. Since we brought our daughter home and were entrusted with her care, it has been like lighting a candle on both ends. A few days into it, it felt like the only part left was the wick burnt to a crisp. Raising a daughter (waking up multiple times during the

night for feedings and diaper changes, relentlessly finding the next soothing measure for her cries and encouraging her to the next milestone) has affirmed the amount of work and love that my own father and mother expended in raising me, and not to mention three other children before me. I can only hope that I am as good at parenting as my father and mother. My dad is a constant source of inspiration, positivity and bad jokes. He never seemed to let anything get him down whether it was a leaky roof, a family ski trip interrupted by vehicle malfunction or a brief time of unemployment. The list is much longer than space allows. One of the greatest lessons he taught was the value of friendship. My parents developed a strong connection to the couples they met during their college years. They continued that connection with annual fishing trips in the summer and New Year’s Eve gatherings. They also developed a closeknit group of friends in Des Moines. The times together were mostly focused on riotous good

times – dressing up like idiots for Halloween, surprise birthday parties, etc. The costumes became more and more ridiculous to the point that inhibition was out the window. These good times are cherished, but as time has advanced that network of friends is called on more and more for support. When one of my dad’s close friends was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma, dad was the first one in line to volunteer to drive him from Kansas City to Mayo Clinic for his treatments. He has been there so many times for Gary, who now is returning my father’s favors through visits to him in the rehab center. At some point in our lives, we are dependent on others for support in varying degrees. It is important to remember all those who have helped us arrive at the places where we are today because some day they also will need our help. Tad Johnson is managing editor of Thisweek Newspapers.

Thisweek Columnist Budget ailing, but marriage could be state’s noisiest topic by T.W. Budig ECM CAPITOL REPORTER

One of the biggest stories of next legislative session could have nothing to do with the ailing state budget. It could have to do with exactly who can marry whom. Currently, there’s a lawsuit in Hennepin County District Court brought by three same-sex couples that’s attempting to legalize same-sex marriage in Minnesota by arguing the prohibition is unconstitutional. OutFront Minnesota, the state’s leading GLBT group, doesn’t support the lawsuit, one official questioning whether the current Minnesota Supreme Court would ever rule favorably should the suit get that far. Amy Johnson, OutFront Minnesota executive director, indicated a legislative approach to samesex marriage was preferable. Although same-sex marriage legislation did not advance last session, a related bill reached the

desk of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty. The bill, carried in the House by Rep. Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, dealt with the disposal of human remains and contained the term “domestic partners.” It passed the House late session on 78-55 vote. It was not party line. Some Greater Minnesota Democrats, including representatives Gail Kulick Jackson, of Milaca, and Al Doty, of Royalton, voted with Republicans against the bill. Pawlenty vetoed it, arguing the bill was needless.

Plans to bring legislation back Murphy plans to bring the legislation back next session. Her approach, she explained, is to change existing discriminatory law. A discussion is currently taking place among Minnesotans on the

issue of same-sex marriage, Murphy said. But she believes the state is “not probably ready yet” for same-sex marriage to become law, she said. Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, would “gamble” that if the makeup of the DFL-controlled House remains more or less the same, a DFL governor in place, a samesex marriage bill could pass the Legislature and be signed into law. But are the DFL gubernatorial candidates actually ready to sign a same-sex marriage bill? All three major DFL candidates say there are. “I would sign it, and I would sign it because I believe it’s a matter of the Golden Rule — it’s doing unto others as you would want have done unto you,” DFLendorsed gubernatorial candidate House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-Minneapolis said. Former House minority leader Matt Entenza of St. Paul and former U.S. senator Mark Dayton, the other two major DFL candi-

dates, also express a willingness to sign a same-sex marriage bill if one reached their gubernatorial desk. Dayton quotes the Declaration of Independence — the idea of certain unalienable rights — in expressing his support for samesex marriage. “And I believe that should include the right of an adult citizen of this country to marry the person that he or she loves,” Dayton recently said. He would be surprised, Dayton said recently, if a same-sex marriage bill could currently get through the Legislature.

supporter of the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Those who remember the constitutional amendment debate of the last decade remember thousands flooding to the State Capitol, the amendment ensnared in budget negotiations, the emergence of then Republican state senator Michele Bachmann — now 6th Congressional District congresswoman — as a statewide figure.

Economic Development has estimated that this change would cost at least $45 million per year. This money would come from payroll tax imposed on business. How does taking money from business, especially in a time of economic hardship, help them create jobs? It obviously does the opposite. By the way, we have already borrowed $650 million from the feds for jobless benefits. So why make this change? Lee Nelson, legal director for the state’s unemployment insurance program has been quoted in the Pioneer Press as saying: “There’s no trend showing that in fact more people are being denied (benefits) now than in the past. There’s no evidence to support that at all.” I guess the only reason is to give those who have egregiously shirked their responsibility a handout. President Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would be proud.

To the editor: How often do we hear that someone is in support of jobs and business? This is easy to say, but when it comes to action, it becomes easy to distinguish between platitude and true principle. Take Democratic state Rep. Mike Obermueller from Eagan for example. He claims he wants to help businesses create jobs. His actions, however, disagree. He, as chief author of the bill, attempted to allow persons fired from their jobs for “egregious” misconduct to collect unemployment benefits. This was apparently too much even for Obermueller’s liberal Democrat friends, who did not allow the proposed change into the final engrossment presented to the governor. What matters here is the serious attempt made. With this action, Obermueller has exposed himself as anti-jobs. The Department of Employment and ROBERT WENCK Eagan

Bringing integrity, accessibility to elections To the editor: State Sen. Chris Gerlach, R-Apple Valley, should be commended for the role he played in getting necessary reforms made to our elections process that balance access and integrity. These changes encourage greater participation and transparency than what we had previously. This accomplishment is nothing short of amazing considering the contentious backdrop of the U.S. Senate Norm Coleman-Al Franken election. It is also a testament to Gerlach’s ability to stand behind sound principles while working with those from both parties and the community to accomplish a common goal. This is a great example of why we need to re-elect Sen. Chris Gerlach. KEVIN ECKER Apple Valley

Thisweekend Cancer free, Lakeville musician gives back with benefit concert Jug Jam will raise money for Fairview Foundation medical fund THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Iris Bouvet has a sense of humor about her battle with breast cancer. It manifests as bosom-related puns and wordplay. The June 27 concert she’s organized to benefit other breast cancer patients is called Jug Jam. And the refreshment menu at the concert includes cupcakes. “Cupcakes – cups, as in double-A or double-D,� the Lakeville resident said with a laugh. “The thing about cancer, and a lot of people will tell you this, is that you have to find the humor where you can.� Bouvet, who endured months of intense chemotherapy and underwent a double mastectomy, is hosting the concert from 2 to 6 p.m. at Family of Christ Lutheran Church in Lakeville as a way to celebrate her one-year anniversary of being cancerfree, and to raise money for

a medical fund through the Fairview Foundation that helped cover her treatment costs. “I had some genetic testing done that insurance doesn’t cover, and my doctor (Dr. Barbara Bowers of Fairview Southdale) has a fund for that,� Bouvet said. “I wanted to help somebody else in the same situation. It’s time to give back.� Bouvet, former music director at Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Burnsville, plays the electric bass and is active in the Good News Big Band, a Twin Cities-based Christian band that plays swing music. She also lends her skills to musicals by local theater groups such as Chameleon Theatre Circle and Eagan Summer Community Theatre. With all her connections to south-of-the-river musicians, she had no trouble tracking down talent for

9A munity from the economy in this country.�

THISWEEK June 25, 2010

Gustafson/from 1A tract, Gustafson said. Gustafson said the payments seemed sustainable after he obtained the Concert Group Logistics franchise, whose business was growing. But then it went sour as the economy tanked, and Gustafson said he wrote off nearly $400,000 in bad customer debt in late 2008 and 2009. “For a little company like mine, it’s hard to sustain that,� said Gustafson, who said he was a vice president for Transport America and a regional manager for Forward Air before going into business for himself. “Then we lost a very large account at the beginning of 2009. And I had two warehouses operating at the time. I couldn’t downsize quick enough. I had leases.� The lost client provided about 65 percent of the franchise’s business, Gustafson said. According to the filing, he claimed personal income from the business of $222,429 in 2008 and $7,800 in 2009. The Concert Group Logistics franchise’s revenue peaked at more than $4 million, Gustafson said. He once employed 22 people while with Allstates. By the time he lost the second franchise his employees had dwindled to four.

“A lot of forwarders have gone out of business since 2001,� Gustafson said. “There have been a lot of consolidations. Look at Federal Express: They were laying people off like crazy. And they still are.� Gustafson is also in arrears on taxes. According to the filing, he owes $85,323 in federal income tax, penalties and interest for 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2006. He owes $12,294 in state income tax, penalties and interest for 2006 and 2008. “Taxes were paid,� he said. “Some determinations were made that not enough were paid. Any small-business owner will tell you that happens a lot.� The bankruptcy filing includes a number of creditcard bills, most of which are business-related, Gustafson said. “When (wife) Suzanne and I realized the problems we were in back in June of last year, we quit using our (personal) credit cards,� said Gustafson, whose wife works part time at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Hints of trouble surfaced publicly last August when a former Gustafson employee, Mary Jo Germscheid, used the citizen-comment portion of a City Council meeting to claim that he owed her nearly $2,200 in

wages and expenses. In an interview at the time, he admitted Germscheid was owed wages and said she had been let go “for nonperformance� shortly before he relinquished the franchise. The former Minneapolis nightclub owner also

said at the time he was doing advisory work for the newly launched Applewood Rustic Grille in Burnsville, which has since closed. “Nobody goes into business to go out of business,� Gustafson says now. “I know a lot of small-business owners in this town that

All data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service. Reports are created and maintained by 10K Research and Marketing.

What to watch for Pending sales in the Twin Cities housing market trended up for the first time in four weeks but remain substantially below 2009. For the week ending June 12 there were 674 signed purchase agreements, up from the mark of 527 the prior week but down dramatically from the mark of 1,210 seen during the same week a year ago. This may be a sign that the drastic drops in sales seen in May and early June were simply temporary aftershock reactions to the tax-credit build up and that demand will slowly return over the course of the summer, but it’s far too early to say that with any certainty. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the numbers each week.

New listings moved upward for the same reporting week to 1,729, but remain 12.2 percent behind last year at this time. However, inventory has slowly climbed due to the decline in pending sales, currently sitting at 26,990 active listings, an increase of 1.1 percent from a year ago.

The first two innings for Burnsville in the Class AAA state baseball final at Target Field on June 19 were described as “very uncharacteristic of us” by coach Mick Scholl. Overthrown balls and hit batters showcased the team’s D-game instead of the game that earned them a spot at state. “I think we could have won if we brought out our A-game from the beginning,” pitcher/shortstop Brandon Peterson said. Burnsville committed about 20 errors during its first 26 games. In the first two innings of the state final, the Blaze had three, and four by game’s end. “I think we had to get the jitters out,” Peterson said. “It was nerveracking out there.” Playing in front of more than 7,000 spectators – not including those at home watching the game on television – was unlike any other game Burnsville had played this season. It was also the first day any high school baseball team had played at the recently opened Target Field – home of the Minnesota Twins. “When I got out there to coach third base I found myself looking around in awe,” Scholl said. “And I’m the coach. I can’t imagine what it was like for the kids.” The first inning saw three errors, two hits and one hit batter to put three runs on the board for Eden Prairie. “We came out so hyped up I had to settle them down,” Scholl said. Pitcher Jacob Threlkeld looked nervous and the defense felt the same way. A three-run deficit isn’t normally cause for panic, but it looked like the game was going to be a rout. Eden Prairie put two more runs on the board in the second inning before a double play seemed to cure Burnsville’s defense issues. “I kept saying we’re solid from one to nine in the lineup,” Scholl said. “The kids never give up. They believe in each other.” The fielding improved throughout the game as Matt Stemper and Dan Motl made diving catches in the outfield and Billy VerMeer turned a line drive into an out. Burnsville bats also started to make contact with the ball. In the third inning, VerMeer scored off a fielder’s choice. Justin Threlkeld, who went 3-for-4, hit an RBI single to send home Brian Vanderwolde. Eden Prairie increased its lead in the sixth inning to 7-2, but Burnsville wasn’t going without taking a few hard swings. In the bottom of the sixth, Peterson gave Burnsville fans reason to

The Burnsville Blaze baseball team along with the Eden Prairie Eagles stands for the national anthem prior to the Class AAA state baseball final on June 19. stand up and cheer with a two-run homer into left field. “I just saw my pitch,” Peterson said. “It felt pretty good, but I would have rather gotten the win.” A few minutes later, fellow power hitter Tom Sherman hit a solo home run into the bullpen at Target Field to cut Eden Prairie’s lead to 7-5. “I was talking with the coaches on the bus before the game if anyone was going to hit a home run,” Scholl said. “We didn’t think so at first, but if someone is going to hit one it’s Sherman. Then someone

said Brandon. So it was kind of like déjà vu out there. “They both put on a clinic during batting practice at our little field. We weren’t surprised.” The Blaze continued their rally in the sixth with singles from VerMeer and Vanderwoude. The momentum favored the Blaze until Eden Prairie’s rocket-armed catcher Matt Halloran caught pinch runner Alec Fisher at first for the third out, leaving the final score 7-5. Jacob Threlkeld was charged with the loss, giving up five runs —

two earned — off one walk and six hits. He struck out one. Peterson pitched the final two innings giving up two earned runs off three hits. He struck out two. The Blaze finished the season with a 21-6 record. It was Burnsville’s fourth trip to the state tournament, but it was the first time Burnsville advanced beyond the quarterfinals.

Home runs at Target Field? No problem for Blaze by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It’s still too early to define Target Field as “pitcher friendly,” but the lack of home runs in the park this season has been a hot topic. Minnesota Twins star catcher Joe Mauer has not yet hit a home run during the regular season at Target Field. During the Class AAA state finals last Saturday, Burnsville players Tom Sherman and Brandon Peterson each hit one. It’s hard to imagine hitting home runs was part of Burnsville’s strategy in the state finals. Hitting the ball 350 feet is not something

PRESSBOX high school coaches can depend upon. The metal bat in Sherman and Peterson’s hands certainly helped. I’m sure they would give it all up if they would have won the game. But it’s not every day you can say you were the first high school player to hit a home run at Target Field.

DCTC player drafted Joe Lucas, a shortstop

on the 2010 Dakota County Technical College baseball team, was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 45th round of the Major League Baseball draft earlier this month. He was 1,364th overall. He was the only two-year college player from the state chosen in the draft. Lucas led the team with a .440 batting average and 63 RBIs. He’s a native of Jordan, and the first DCTC baseball player drafted into professional baseball.

was the last chance for area schools to win a Lake Conference title. This fall, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville North, Eastview, Lakeville South, Rosemount, Bloomington Jefferson, Bloomington Kennedy and Prior Lake will all have one goal in mind: Win the first-ever South Suburban Conference title. Don’t think for a second life is going to be any easier now that Eden Prairie is off the schedule. Goodbye That group of schools had a representative in the Lake Conference The 2009-2010 season state baseball (Burnsville),

softball (Burnsville), and boys team tennis (Eagan) finals. They also sent at least one team to the final four in girls (Lakeville) and boys (Eagan) state lacrosse tournaments. A significant portion of the golfers at the state tournament last week came from that group, including teams from Lakeville North boys, Eastview girls and Eagan boys. The list of track and field athletes at state would take up the rest of this page. And that’s just spring. Just last school year Lakeville North girls bas-

ketball, Apple Valley wrestling, Lakeville South girls Alpine and Apple Valley boys soccer all won state titles. And don’t look past the addition of Prior Lake this fall. The school’s girls cross country team is one of the best in the state. Prior Lake’s boys golf, softball, baseball and wrestling teams have also had recent success. That’s why winning a South Suburban Conference title will be a significant accomplishment. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Water/from 1A tional revenue to the city because the increased fee will likely be offset by decreased usage. Eagan produced a total of 3.44 billion gallons of clean drinking water in 2009. During one peak day that summer, Eagan residents used 18.5 million gallons of water. On average, Eagan residents each use about 95 gal-

lons of water each day. As the population continues to grow, there will be more and more demand on resources, said Chris Elvrum, water supply planning manager for the Metropolitan Council. “We have a pretty strong aquifer system, but it’s not unlimited,� he said. “The more we can conserve, the more we can ensure there are supplies available for the future.� Conservation is crucial for

cities that have to build systems to meet peak-day demand, he said. “Anything they can do to reduce that peak will save money and energy,� he said. Eagan is also looking at its own operations for ways to conserve water, Garrison said. The city plans to reduce irrigation in its parks by 10 percent this summer. Some areas will no longer be watered, while others will be watered

less frequently or for shorter periods, he said. For more information on Eagan’s new water rates or how to reduce water usage, visit www.cityofeagan.com/ waterconservation. For questions about the new rates, call utility billing at (651) 675-5030.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
