Eagan man pockets Parkway reconstruction done world pool record early, but takes toll on businesses Scott Erdman played billiards Contractor will get $100,000 bonus for quick work

continuously for 74 hours by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It was the early morning hours – when the pool hall was quiet and sleep was beckoning – that were the toughest, Scott Erdman said. But he credits the support of his wife and his friends with helping him stay on his feet for 74 hours as he broke the world record for most consecutive hours playing pool. The previous record, set just last year by a North Carolina man, was 72 hours. Erdman, of Eagan, broke the record at 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 23, at Shooters Billiard Club in Burnsville. He began playing at 7 a.m. Friday, Aug. 20. “After the first day I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is such a good idea,’ � he said. “After that it got fairly easy, but toward the end I was running on fumes.� Shooters general manager Duane Marquardt said he loved the idea, but was initially skeptical about Erdman’s goal. “I thought he was on the crazy side,� he said. “I didn’t think he realized how long 72 hours is.� That skepticism wasn’t exactly abated after the first

The heavy construction is over, all lanes are reopened and the drive is now smooth as glass. This summer’s reconstruction of Burnsville Parkway came at an attractive price to taxpayers, with a $100,000 bonus going to the contractor for finishing the job early.

I didn’t think he would make it,� he said. “But then he caught his second wind.� In all, Erdman played 393 games against 93 opponents. He was allowed only a five-minute break every hour, which he used to rest his increasingly swollen feet. A pedometer revealed he walked a total of 41.8 miles around the pool table during the three-day event. He also lost five pounds.

Chris and Julie Heimerl’s Spooky LLC of Eagan is gaining ground in the Upper Midwest and setting its sights regionally because of the success of its hot sauces and Bloody Mary mix. For day jobs, Julie styled hair and Chris exercised his talents for sales and purchasing in the grocery business. They even made a go of it as franchise restaurateurs.

The largest single donation came from the Royal Oaks apartment complex, which gave 5,000 pounds of food. “Eagan citizens responded overwhelmingly to National Night Out,â€? said Eagan Police Chief Jim McDonald, who noted that the event began in Eagan in 1999 with just 29 neighborhoods. McDonald credits the Eagan Citizens Crime Prevention Association with the increase in the event’s popularity. As an incentive to donate food, the group this year offered a drawing for a suite for 24 people at the Oct. 2 Twins game against the Toronto Blue Jays. That prize, a $3,000 value, went to the neighborhood on the 4700 block of Beacon Hill Road. The group also donated $11,000 worth of Minnesota Twins tickets to the first 124 neighborhoods that registered. “With the amount of food they raised, there is little doubt their efforts increased citizen awareness to provide food for the needy and make Eagan a safer place,â€? McDonald said. The need still remains, however, and soon the holiSee Donations, 3A

The city of Eagan is within reach of its ambitious goal to collect 300,000 pounds of food as part of its 150th anniversary celebration. The National Night Out celebration Aug. 3 gave the effort a substantial boost, with Eagan neighborhoods contributing 36,648 pounds of food for local food shelves. That brings the total amount collected to 283,520 pounds so far this year. Even with that impressive total, the demand this year has been unprecedented, said Lisa Horn, executive director of the Eagan Resource Center, located at 3910 Rahn Road. “Our shelves were bare prior to Aug. 3,� she said. “We tend to go through our food supplies more quickly and our donations tend to drop off in the summer time. This came at a time when getting more food was critical.� Second Harvest Heartland considers 1.28 pounds of food to equal one meal, which means Eagan neighborhoods generated 28,631 meals for the hungry during National Night Out. A record 176 Eagan neighborhoods participated in the event this year, with 111 contributing to the food

Charges have been suspended for a former Eagan man accused of being drunk when he crashed his motorcycle and killed his passenger last year. A competency hearing found Todd Charles Gillis, 43, unable to assist in his own defense due to a traumatic brain injury he suffered in the crash. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said Minnesota law allows for prosecution to be suspended if a defendant is unable to assist in his or her defense. Gillis will instead be referred to Social Services to consider whether a civil commitment for a disability is necessary.

by Erin Johnson

The Dakota County Attorney’s Office had charged Gillis with criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the crash, which killed his passenger, Amber L. Frandrup, 25. The crash occurred around 10:20 p.m. on May 23, 2009, when Gillis was crossing the Mendota Bridge on Highway 55. According to the State Patrol, Gillis rear-ended a car that had changed lanes in front of him, ejecting Frandrup and Gillis from the motorcycle. Neither Frandrup nor Gillis was wearing a helmet, police said. Gillis was traveling between 63 and 90 miles per hour at the time of the crash,

according to the criminal complaint. The speed limit on the Mendota Bridge is 55 miles per hour. A urine sample obtained from Gillis more than an hour after the crash showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.14, nearly twice the legal limit for driving. Both were taken to the Regions Hospital in St. Paul after the crash where Frandrup died later that night. Gillis suffered serious injuries and required a lengthy hospitalization for multiple broken bones and brain trauma. The driver of the car was not injured in the crash.

Eagan man pleads guilty to harboring illegal aliens Joo Ok Kim faces up to 10 years in prison by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

He also said he transported the men to job sites in his truck. Authorities discovered the men on March 28, 2009, when they responded to a disturbance call at Kim’s home. A sentencing hearing for Kim has yet to be set. The case is the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Eagan Police Department.

An Eagan man admitted in federal court last week he housed five illegal aliens in his basement so they could work for his business. Joo Ok Kim, 62, pleaded guilty to one count of harboring and concealing aliens, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Dakota County commissioners are grappling with many unknowns in setting the 2011 budget. Among the challenges commissioners discussed in an Aug. 24 budget work session: falling property values, the governor’s race, anticipated state funding losses and economic trends. While many factors are still unknown, county officials are considering raising the property tax 1 percent in 2011, which would equate to a property tax cut on the county portion of most property tax bills due to falling property values. In both 2012 and 2013, commissioners are considering 2 percent levy increases. Commissioners also talked about raising the 2011 Regional Rail levy 38 percent. Although the percentage increase sounds significant, the result on a median-value home, which for 2011 is $206,100, would increase $2.35 per year, going from $5.69 per year to $8.04 annually. The funds would help pay for continued transit improvements along Cedar Avenue and the Robert Street corridor. But much of the budget

discussion centered on the county’s rising health insurance premiums. Without any change to the county’s base health insurance plan, the organization’s insurance costs will increase $1.8 million in 2011, the equivalent of 21 jobs, said Communications Director Gail Plewacki. Already, county department directors have cut spending and left positions unfilled, planning on a budget that is $10.6 million below the 2010 level of $368 million. By 2013, the county expects the budget to drop below 2010 levels by another $55 million. But as county commissioners have concentrated on the likelihood of layoffs next year, union representatives are concerned about the county’s proposed change to its health care coverage to avoid a $1.8 million premium increase in 2011. Under a new health plan, employees would have three free medical visits and pay a higher deductible than under its previous plan. The proposed plan, “Three for Free,� includes an individual out-of-pocket limit of $2,000 and $4,000 maximum for any size family. Commissioners said some county employees have pleaded with them for the county insurance plan to remain unchanged be-

cause of ongoing health issues. Their concerns prompted the county administration to address a letter to employees, warning that if the county doesn’t change its plan, health insurance could become an unaffordable benefit. Historically, the county has proven more expensive to insure, and recently claims outpaced premiums. That record makes it challenging for the county to receive competitive bids for insurance. In the letter to employees, county administration explained it’s facing “a perfect storm of budget pressures.� The letter explains, “state aid to counties is steadily shrinking. Investment revenues are down significantly. A variety of costs are increasing, including the county’s contribution to the pension plan for employees. Raising property taxes simply cannot begin to address all of these challenges.� During the workshop, commissioners urged negotiators to help union officials understand the county’s predicament and agree to the insurance plan. The county will set its maximum levy at the Sept. 14 board meeting, and will adopt a final budget Dec. 14. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Numerous unforeseen project changes added costs to the design plans for the Cedar Avenue transitway, but county staff negotiated with its consultant to keep the project within budget. County Commissioner Paul Krause thanked SRF Consulting Group representatives at an Aug. 17 Physical Development Committee meeting for their work on designing the state’s first bus rapid transit corridor, Cedar Avenue, and their willingness to work out contract amendment amounts. In May, SRF gave the county a 54-page request outlining $1.09 million in additional work performed not described in its original $2 million contract, funded with state bonds distributed through the Met Council. Additional work cited included streetscape design, drainage design, and various plan modifications. Dakota County staff spent months discussing the requests, finally reaching an agreement to pay another $465,641 in state bond funds for the work. Additional design costs are expected to be offset Laura Adelmann is at dcediby right-of-way acquisi- tor@frontiernet.net.

cantly reduced by the design changes. The amount keeps the design work within 6 percent to 8 percent of the estimated construction fees, as is expected in a typical design contract. Previously, the county and Apple Valley had agreed to split additional design costs of $80,000 for requested streetscape elements added in the city. In addition, Apple Valley also paid another $20,485 for additional utility design work it requested. County Transportation Director Mark Krebsbach said in the future, county staff will work to catch any other out-of-scope contract amendments earlier in the process. Commissioner Tom Egan said Cedar BRT is the first system in the state, and the project has been fasttracked. He noted that SRF agreed to a substantial cut in price from its original request. “I’d like to also thank our staff for this. It was a big project,� said Krause, chair of the Physical Development Committee.

Opinion ECM Editorial Funding crisis prompts hard choices on K-12 education With the present K-12 public education system in serious financial trouble, the education of Minnesota’s students is at risk. During the past decade, the increase in state funding to K-12 education has been less than the costs of running the educational program. There were no increases in the basic formula three of the last 10 years, 1 to 2 percent increases four of those years, and 4 percent increases three years. Over the past two years the economic crisis has restricted per-pupil funding increases to zero. The Minnesota Legislature is using the public schools as a credit card by withholding promised aid, forcing school districts to borrow money against next year’s taxes and cash reserves.

Districts are forced to borrow money the state won’t pay and to finance the interest. Some even question if the state will ever repay the millions it is holding back. With the state facing a $6 billion structural budget deficit and with education accounting for half the state’s budget, legislators must look at reducing state funding for education. Minnesotans need to consider how candidates for governor would solve the school financing problem. Local school officials around the state are responding to this funding crisis by going to a fourday week, closing schools, raising fees, cutting extracurricular activities, cutting course offerings and campaigning for extra property

tax levies. With each year a bit more of the school program disappears. We are moving into a great new age of learning and communications one educational crisis at a time, one funding crisis at a time, reaching for the magic bullet that will substitute for the hard work and systemic commitment true change requires. Maybe schools can get by this year, and maybe even next year, but what if the schools can’t be sustained? And why do we want to just “get by”? Determining how to change the delivery system and fund education must be a high priority for the governor and legislators. They must realize the present path of trying to get by and shifting

school aids for another year won’t solve the problem. Critics offer solutions: Cut expenditures, economize, be more productive, fund the essentials, cut the frills, raise taxes, test more, test less and eliminate No Child Left Behind. Other suggestions include: Teach more math and science and less of something else, have more charter schools, have fewer charter schools, do more online learning, have more secondary options, have merit pay, change the bargaining laws, have compulsory education for 4-year-olds. Some or all of these suggestions could not save enough dollars to preserve the present model of teaching young people. This is a model based on having quality teachers, teaching an up-to-date

curriculum to reasonably sized classes, and using the latest technology. At stake is the education of Minnesota students and the will of this state to maintain quality education, which many experts agree is at the core of having a productive state. With this in mind, ECM newspapers will examine the local issues schools are confronting. Our intent is to establish a base for discussion in our communities and encourage initiatives that will influence next year’s legislative action. This editorial is a product of the ECM Editorial Board. Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Vote for change To the editor: For our local legislators, the numbers have become the vehicle that portrays a horrendous past. The numerical results of this past legislative session, as composed by the Taxpayers League of Minnesota and other nonpartisan organizations, will require that we vote in changes to the state Legislature. During this past session our Democrat legislators overwhelmingly voted against us and for more taxes and a more intrusive, bigger government. Like always, their “good intentions” have led to the loss of more freedom for all of us. This past year conservative representatives averaged an 80 percent approval rating by the Taxpayers League, while Democrats gleaned a horrific 7.8 percent average. It is time we voted to replace these misguided souls from Burnsville and Eagan with Pam Myhra, Diane Anderson, Ted Daley, and Doug Wardlow. Failure to do so is a signal that we want a continuation of the devastating failed policies that threaten to overwhelm our entire culture.

shoulder to shoulder with the American Cancer Society to achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. We were honored to be joined by 41 survivors who walked the opening Survivors Lap, officially kicking off this year’s event. These survivors are the reason we continue the fight. Their participation inspires hope in those currently battling cancer. A special thanks to the many Relay For Life volunteers who worked to make this event a success – celebrating the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and pledging to fight back against the disease. The Relay For Life committee did an outstanding job of putting the event together. Committee members are Stacie Roelke, Jess Kurvers, Jess Irwin, Jamie Prescott, Don Irwin and Ralph and Sharon Hardgrove. We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s corporate sponsors.

ber John Bergman. One year Bergman was assigned by the City Council to attend our local neighborhood National Night Out (all council members are given various assigned neighborhood parties to attend). For the past seven years, he was not assigned to our neighborhood for National Night Out and Night to Unite, but has made a point in attending for one reason – we wanted him back. He always arrives with one of Apple Valley’s police officers and spends time listening, learning and even sharing a laugh with our residents. Bergman is very approachable; he truly cares about the community and doing a great job. In addition, he took a great water balloon hit in stride while participating in the recent Fourth of July parade armed with his super soakers. He knows the parade is not only for the adults but the kids, too. John Bergman is a great asset to our city and council, and I encourage everyone to consider voting for him this Nov. 2.

Reject Madore’s ‘tax and spend’

with, the truth is that state spending in the last four years – the same period of time in which Democrats have been in charge of the Legislature – has dropped by the biggest amount and percentage since non-partisan legislative staff began keeping records, decreasing by $3 billion, or 9.1 percent. Most Minnesotans agree we need to balance our budget responsibly. They also want to preserve the things that have made us special – our top-notch educational system and reliable transportation system, for example. And they agree on the need to create an environment friendly to economic development. Mostly, they’re also looking for honest leadership and responsible discussions about the challenges we face. Stating facts for mere spin value takes away our ability to have the reasonable and responsible conversations that will help us solve some of the huge problems facing our state. Maybe before Bills teaches any more “Econ 101” he should take a refresher course in Ethics 101.

To the editor: It is indeed fortunate that in 2008 the voters of District 37A chose to oust Shelly Madore as state representative in favor of our present incumbent, Rep. Tara Mack. While Madore never saw a tax she didn’t like and voted in favor of upping state and local taxes of all types, Mack has proven to be a conservative voice in the Minnesota Legislature. Now, Madore has her eyes on a bigger political prize and is seeking to join the (U.S. House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi crew in Washington. Who knows what new tax bills Madore might author and/or support when she is no longer constrained by a balancedbudget limitation as is imposed at the state level here in Minnesota? Madore is now seeking to unseat our experienced, financially conservative U.S. Rep. John Kline on promises to “earmark” more federal funds for unnamed and unneeded purposes. Kline has appropriately rejected such KAREN HAYES earmarks as being wasteful JANET ROHLF Apple Valley spending of the taxpayers’ Rosemount money.

Daley will improve state’s business environment To the editor: Economic recovery and jobs will be major themes of the next session of the Minnesota Legislature and Ted Daley, the Republican candidate for the state Senate from Eagan and Burnsville, is uniquely qualified to assist in that effort. A certified public accountant, he has served as economic advisor in helping to rebuild the economy of Iraq during one of his many military assignments. He has been general manager of a small manufacturing company and has a thorough understanding of the problems of small businesses. His focus will be on improving Minnesota’s business environment to free up the private sector to create jobs. He knows firsthand the problems businesses face and will work to reduce burdens in order to allow for job creation. BOB CANNELLA Eagan

It is incredibly frustrating and befuddling that the voters in the 2nd Congressional District would defy the will of the delegates and elect the primary winner to be a candidate against John Kline or anyone else. Our endorsed DFL candidate, Dan Powers, had the necessary business experience to give us the representation we deserve. Instead, we have elected a politician whose track record in the state House put her on the bottom of the Taxpayers League and Legislative Evaluation Assembly grades. She is yet another tax-and-spend politician who appears to enjoy spending other peoples’ money. It is more than a curiosity to many of us who have tried to understand how she could be fired, with cause, from a job with the public school system, as was reported by the Pioneer Press. Our only hope is that the primary winner keeps her original promise to abide by the endorsement and withdraw from the race so that a better man might give us a chance against Congressman Kline.

Thisweekend Ex-cop finds calling as novelist ‘Dot to Dot’ author LG Bradshaw featured at Sept. 14 Robert Trail Library event by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount author LG Bradshaw has a funny story about his first encounter with literary critics. Bradshaw, whose given name is Jabra Kawas but uses “LG Bradshaw� as his nom de plume, has been crafting fiction since he was 9 years old. He doesn’t remember the plot or even the title of the first story he wrote, but he does remember the critical response it generated. “I had my dad read it and he was a brutally honest critic – ‘This is not very good’ – and I was like, ‘Dad, I’m 9!’ � he said with a laugh. Harsh parental review notwithstanding, he remained undaunted about his prospects as a writer. Bradshaw, 42, published his first novel, “Dot to Dot,� in April, and will be the featured speaker at the “Meet the Author� event on Tues-

LG Bradshaw day, Sept. 14, at the Robert Trail Library. Bradshaw describes “Dot to Dot,� the first of three novels he completed between June 2009 and June 2010, as a “literary relay race� whose plot involves a U.S. senator, a private detective and a serial killer. The title derives from the book’s central theme of “how we’re all connected.�

“The story jumps from character to character – it’s kind of like connecting the dots,� said Bradshaw, who cites writers as diverse as horror novelist Stephen King and “high literary� author JD Salinger as influences. A former Minneapolis police officer, Bradshaw opted for early retirement earlier this year after 14 years on the force, partly to devote more time to his writing. He’s now looking to publish the two novels he completed after “Dot to Dot,� – “Epicenter� and “The Walls.� Bradshaw’s appearance at the Robert Trail Library on Sept. 14 is the fourth event in the “Meet the Author� series hosted by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Past speakers in the series have been Craig Macintosh, author of the World War II suspense novel “The For-

tunate Orphans�; longtime Golden Gophers sports announcer Ray Christensen, author of “Ray Christensen’s Gopher Tales,� and former Star Tribune political reporter Betty Wilson, author of “Rudy! the People’s Governor: The Life and Times of Rudy Perpich.� While the focus of Bradshaw’s “Meet the Author� talk will be on his new novel and his writing process, there will be a questionand-answer session, and Bradshaw said he’s OK discussing his experiences as a police officer. “Everybody always asks if I ever had to fire my gun,� he said. “Dot to Dot� is available for purchase from online booksellers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and through the author’s website, www.lgbradshaw.com.

THISWEEKENDS PUZZLE ANSWERS

Directions to movie set: Take a left after the next corn field Eureka Township farmhouse set for feature film by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Signs along County Road 86 in Eureka Township direct film crews and chauffeured actors to an 1800s-era picket-fenced farmhouse in rural Dakota County. Crowded around the yard are people, many wearing ear pieces, sitting quietly amid an array of tripods, ladders, portable lights, cords, tables and various props, including a box of Grape Nuts cereal. A newcomer to the house is quickly “shhhed,� and a bright pink sign on the home’s kitchen door warns there’s a “hot set� inside. Suddenly, the scene apparently complete, everyone moves into action, rushing into the kitchen, carrying equipment in and out. For seven days in August, actors and crews were busily filming for the feature-length motion picture, “Souvenirs,� an independent film. “Souvenirs� screenplay writer Marc Conkoin said the film, which stars James Cromwell and his son John Cromwell as well as Mary Kay Fortier-Spalding of Minneapolis, is about a 13-year-old boy who finds his grandfather’s World War II footlocker, and gets him to agree to share the stories behind three of the items in the box. Conkoin said the boy eventually becomes a soldier himself and serves in Iraq. “It’s about how their experiences in war parallel each other, and how this day on the porch that they share really helps each of them to deal with these experiences,� Conkoin said, “The story is really anchored here at this porch.�

Outside the kitchen of the Eureka Township home, a film crew prepared equipment for the next scene. Actors waiting for their scenes or getting a make-up retouch waited in the tent in the background or in trailers brought in for the production.

Actors James Cromwell and Mary Kay Fortier-Spalding sit on the front porch of the Eureka Township home where the feature-length movie “Souvenirs� was being filmed last week. “Souvenirs� producer Craig Christiansen said the story’s farmhouse is a key part of the story, but finding a home like the one they’d dreamed of was a challenge. “It took us a long time to find this place. Farmhouses like this don’t come around very often,� Christiansen said. The group has filmed scenes throughout Minnesota, including Iraq war scenes that were done in a Mankato quarry, and ex-

pected to wrap up last week. But before the movie will be seen in theaters, the group has to find a distributor. “It’s a huge project. ‌ I want to have this do very, very well for us all, but also for the Minnesota film community,â€? Christiansen said.

Organic farm hopes to raise money for educational program

Fund raising dinner set for Sept. 11; portion of proceeds will also go toward food shelves

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

! " #

by Jessica Harper For the past two years, Gardens of Eagan, an organic cooperative farm in Farmington, has been working to educate the public about the benefits of organic cultivation through a nonprofit program called Organic Field School. The only problem is the school is struggling to find funding. The solution — a Farm Fresh Dinner on Saturday Sept. 11 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the 100-acre farm at 25494 Highview Ave. in Farmington to raise funds for the school. “Raising awareness is as important as raising money,� said Linda Halley, farm manager at Gardens of Eagan. “Most people think organic farming is just about farming without chemicals ... but the main message is that organic farming is better for the ecosystem, not just your personal health.� The event will include a multi-course dinner that will consist of produce from Gardens of Eagan as well as other local organic farms and will be prepared by chefs from the Red Stag Supperclub and Barbette in Minneapolis. The event, which costs $75 per person and is tax deductible, will also include wine and beer tasting, music by Jack Klatt & the Cat Swingers, and a tasting tour in which people can taste fresh vegetables straight from the fields. The Organic Field School is still in its infancy. So far, its programs have been provided through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations such as the Lands Stewardship Project and the Midwest Food Connection, which are nonprofits that promote sustainable agriculture. The goal of the fund raiser is to raise enough money to provide training and formal internship programs for apprentices at Gardens of Eagan, Halley said. Funds will also go toward providing tours of the farm for local school children, she said. “It’s important for them to learn where their food comes from,� Halley said.

When students return to their schools in just a few weeks, they’ll find some changes. Here is an overview of what’s new for the 2010-11 school year in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191. All new students will register for school at the Welcome Center in the lower level of Diamondhead Education Center at 200 W. Burnsville Parkway. The Welcome Center is open year round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and is also open late on Tuesdays until 8 p.m. For more information, call the Welcome Center at (952) 707-4180. Approximately 40 teachers new to the district have been hired this year to replace those who retired or left the district. The same student-to-teacher ratio as last year will be in place so class size averages will be the same as they have been for the past two years. New principals are Dr. Elizabeth Vaught at Edward Neill Elementary and Lyle Bomsta at William Byrne Elementary. New district administrators are Dr. Tania Chance, executive director of human resources, and Chris Lindholm, assistant superintendent for instructional leadership. All four replaced long-time administrators who retired. Fifteen additional teachers will receive classroom technology and training through the federal grant called Enhancing Education Through Technology,

now starting its second year in the school district. Selected teachers in grades three to eight will receive LCD projectors, interactive white boards, laptop computers and response clickers for their classrooms. A new gifted/talented magnet program will begin in grades seven and eight at Eagle Ridge Junior High School. Other magnet school programs, which began last year, are expanding this year. The STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program at Metcalf Junior High will expand to ninth grade so that it is now grades seven through nine. Envision Academy of the Arts will add 12th grade so that it is now nine through 12. Incentives are being offered for families to attend Rahn Elementary School as part of a pilot program to encourage families to voluntarily switch schools rather than forcing change through redrawn attendance boundaries. The incentive being offered this year is free or reduced prices on Kindergarten Plus, the district’s all-day kindergarten program. Older siblings are also invited to attend Rahn and can receive a 20 percent discount on Project KIDS school-age child care. Nicollet Junior High is implementing a new college readiness program called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges. Sky Oaks Elementary has an initiative called

“Roots and Wings� which will involve adding community service projects building-wide. Each grade level will adopt a theme and projects. Gideon Pond Elementary will be adding 10 interactive white boards and five document cameras as part of a goal that all classrooms will have SMARTboard technology by the end of the 2012 school year. A new and improved orientation program, called Ignition, will be in place when 10th-graders arrive at Burnsville High School on Sept. 7. About 100 juniors and seniors have been trained as mentors to assist sophomores in making a smooth transition to high school. Tenth-graders have the school to themselves on the first day of school because 11th- and 12th-grade students start school on Wednesday, Sept. 8.

Other Burnsville High School changes A revised attendance policy includes required Saturday School attendance for some students. Two new courses, Advanced Placement Chemistry and Small Business Management, have been added. Jeff Marshall, guidance counselor, is now serving as interim athletic director. Burnsville High School now belongs to the South Suburban Athletic Conference. Athletic facility upgrades will include a new scoreboard for Pates Stadium and field renovations on the softball fields.

Minnesota might never see a team like the one the Apple Valley boys soccer team had a year ago. The Eagles won the Class AA state title and went undefeated. “That was a dream team,” coach Chuck Scanlon said. “These guys aren’t too far behind. They have some good experience. It should be an interesting year.” Although the team lost several top players to graduation, Apple Valley enters the season with the No. 1 ranking and another state title its final goal. “We’d like to keep that winning streak up as long as possible,” Scanlon said. “We have lots of eager soccer players.” The team’s second-leading scorer from 2009, Tom Obarski, is back, along with midfielder Simon Goettl. Scanlon said returning goalkeeper Tim Van Beck “is probably the best keeper in the state.” He may see a few more shots than last year because the defense has almost completely turned over. Sweeper Dan Schumacher is back, but the rest of the lineup consists of new starters Mike Shutt and Tim Ness. Hudson Fasching will continue to strike at the opposition’s net. Dane Grundstrom, Nate Tenpas, Shawn Tangen and Alex Schams will hold ground in the midfield.

will be a really good team. “They have a lot of bad habits from their summer teams to get through,” Scanlon said. The Eagles’ first goal is to win the South Suburban Conference, which also features top-10 teams Eagan, Prior Lake and Bloomington Jefferson.

Apple Valley’s Tim Van Beck returns in goal for the Eagles as one of the top keepers in the state.

APPLE VALLEY “The lineup is senior-heavy except for Fasching,” Scanlon said. “It’s a good nucleus. Hopefully we’ll pick up where we left off. “We’re going to rely on senior experience to pick up everybody’s game.”

After playing with a seniorheavy lineup in 2009, the Lightning will be striking with a younger team this season. Eastview had a brutal schedule in 2009 with about half its games against top-10 teams in the state. The Lightning still defeated Eagan, tied with Eden Prairie and took Apple Valley into overtime. Eastview will welcome returning players Ben Schmitz, Sam Benda, Joe Karam, Brennan Espinda- Bannick and Samuel Ruelas back to the field. The team will have a wealth of experience at the goalkeeping and midfield positions, but they’ll need some goals to get wins. “I’d like to successfully mold a young team into one that can be competitive in the new South Suburban Conference,” coach Scott Gustafson said.

Scanlon is aware that every team the Eagles will face will give them their best effort. Early on the Eagles have a schedule that includes Northfield on Saturday, Farmington on Tuesday and Richfield on Wednesday.

Veteran teams have the edge in volleyball by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The South Suburban Conference will have a few unknowns in 2010 for volleyball. Four unknowns to be exact: Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Rosemount, four yearly contenders, will have new head coaches this season. All of the schools hired veteran volleyball coaches who were either junior varsity, assistants or worked within the junior volleyball programs in their respective communities. But they’re still unknowns to many teams.

and it owns the crown until someone else takes it. Both programs will be right back up there again in 2010. Rosemount and Apple Valley are a year older and year better than last year. They were both young last year, but gave their opponents everything they could handle. After a bit of a down year, Lakeville South could be right back in the mix. The program has been one of the best in the state since the school opened.

players to graduation, both teams should kick the ball off right where they left it. It will be almost impossible to match last year’s success for Apple Valley, but the Eagles could easily be in the mix for another state title this season. One team that will be in its way again this year is Eagan, which would love to get over the mountain that is Apple Valley. The Wildcats were close to the summit last year and the gap may be closer in 2010.

Are you a doubles Lightning hoping to start or singles player? some fires on the soccer field With many new varsity players, Burnsville is trying to fill its roster by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville girls tennis is replacing most of its lineup with newcomers this season. That means coach Ben Stapp has to figure out who is a better doubles player and who is better at singles. Although it’s still the game of tennis, they are two very different styles of tennis. In singles, you’re alone on the court. “You need to be headstrong by yourself without help,” Stapp said. “You have to be consistent. You may hit the ball 10 times before anything happens. You need to be patient.” In doubles the points come after about three or four shots. It’s all about hitting the ball in the right place at the right time. “It’s more of a street fight,” Stapp said. “You need to have no fear. It’s going to be kind of a brawl.” Doubles players also have to play well with others. “(Doubles is) a totally different mentality,” Stapp said. “A lot of girls who would love to play doubles don’t have the patience. The second they hit the ball, they hit it as hard as they can. After about a half hour, I can tell a singles player from a doubles.” The Blaze saw eight of its 12 varsity players from 2009 graduate in the spring, so they have several new players fighting for points this year. “We are very much a developing team with a

BURNSVILLE lot of young kids,” Stapp said. “We’ll have several 10th-graders that played 10A last year and made the jump to varsity, so that’s saying something.” Jillian Dotas and Payton Palmer are the No. 1 and No. 2 singles players, with the rest of the players working themselves into a lineup. “The two girls are pretty equal,” Stapp said. “The other 10 girls are pretty much equal with each other. We’re a deep team, but it’s going to take a while to figure out who should be where.” Stapp expects that once he figures out his lineup, Burnsville will get a fair amount of lower-end points from the No. 4 singles and No. 3 doubles. Some key newcomers will bring a variety of experience to the lineup. Allie Waters will trade a hockey stick for a tennis racket this fall. “She’s a big-time hockey player,” Stapp said. “She is just driven and very athletic. She’s one of those athletes who will do anything to win.” Figure skater Mikalyla Samz will also bring a unique background to the tennis court. “She’s mentally tough,” Stapp said. “She expects to be perfect. With figure skating, perfect is expected, but in tennis perfect is impossible.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Eastview girls soccer team’s string of winning seasons isn’t expected to end anytime soon. The Lightning are loaded again in 2010, and they’re aiming for a South Suburban Conference title and a trip to state. The team qualified for state in 2007 and 2008 and nearly qualified last year, losing in the section final by one goal in overtime against Eagan. “We return a lot of players that were an overtime goal away from going to state,” coach David Herem said. “We should have tremendous speed with the majority of the track relay team runners on the field.” Leading the list of returning players is Brianne Price, a two-time all-state player. “She is a great soccer player with the skills, passion and effort to play anywhere on the field,” Herem said. “She is a gifted passer, scorer, defender and a real threat in the air or on dead balls. “She has a very real opportunity to be Ms. Soccer.” Price has already committed to the University of Minnesota, where she’ll play with her sister Marissa. This year Brianne should pass her sister to become the all-time leading scorer at Eastview. She already is the school’s all-time assists leader. She will be joined by Claire Elliott, who missed most of her junior year recovering from a serious knee injury. “She came back to give us a boost in the playoffs

EASTVIEW last year and we expect great things this year,” Herem said. Herem is looking for three-year letter winner Taylor Sabrowski to become a playmaker for the Lightning in 2010 along with Courtney Driscoll, who possesses great skills and knowledge of the game. Sisters Alex and Amanda Beckman have laced up their soccer shoes as two of the best all-around athletes at Eastview. “These all-world-class athletes are no slouches on the soccer field,” Herem said. “They play with great tenacity and determination.” Herem envisions his team playing hard for 80 minutes every game. That will keep them competitive in the section and new South Suburban Conference.

Apple Valley girls In the 1980s and 1990s, Apple Valley was one of the premier teams in Minnesota, qualifying for state nine times. In 1997 the Eagles won the state title, but that was the last time Apple Valley has been there. It’s no coincidence that it was around the time Eastview High School opened. Coach Keith Randa knows all too well how hard it is to maintain a positive record. He’s made it work since taking over in 1990, amassing a record of 27281-42. Last season Apple Valley finished sixth in the Lake Conference and lost in the semifinals of the Section 3AA tournament to Eagan. “We were in every game, but struggled at times to See Soccer, 12A

Sports Al Newman to coach Apple Valley baseball Former Minnesota Twin will replace Al Iversen by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley High School has announced that Al Newman has been hired as the head baseball coach. Although Newman is probably best known for his time with the Minnesota Twins, he’s been a coach with Apple Valley’s American Legion baseball team for the past three years. Newman’s coaching career began with the Arizona Fall League, working his way up through the Minnesota Twins system. Newman was the third-base coach for the Minnesota Twins from 2002 to 2005. During that time, the Twins won three division titles.

Newman broke into the big leagues as a player with the Montreal Expos in 1985. He signed with the Twins in 1987 and played a key role during the team’s run to the World Series championship. He continued with the Twins for the next four seasons and again played a role in the 1991 championship run. Newman finished his playing career in 1992 with the Texas Rangers. Newman replaces Al Iversen, who resigned in June to become the head baseball coach at Lakeville Photo by Rick Orndorf South High School. Al Newman coaches third base during an Apple Valley 76ers Andy Rogers is at American Legion baseball game.

Dakota State University for soccer. She’ll have returning defenders Kerry Cahoon, Taylor Matua and Lexi Case to help keep the ball from reaching the keeper. As the last line of defense, Lauren Hoeppner will stay in goal, where she had 110 saves and six shutouts last season. Hailey Hutori, Anna Edgren and Megan Nichols will continue to move the ball in the midfield. The key for Apple Valley’s success will be finding some players to come off the bench. “We need to develop some overall team depth,� Randa said. “We will need to improve on our goal scoring as a team. “Since players have played on different teams over the summer we will need to also get the team to jell and be on the same page on the field. At times we are a little disjointed.�

Soccer/from 11A

close out the game and get the win,� Randa said. That was a younger, inexperienced team, which has grown into a veteran, experienced program. Apple Valley has 11 returning players this season. Taylor Browning returns this season. She’ll be attacking the net with teammate Jordan Sammons. Browning was the team’s leading scorer in 2009 and is one of the fastest girls on the field. She ran in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes at the state track meet in the spring. All-conference honorable mention defenders Jenaye Colmen and Nicole Halsted will share the backfield with Taylor Stainbrook, the team MVP in 2009 and an all-conference member. Stainbrook “has the most experience in the back for us,� Randa said. “She has good speed and a great touch on the ball. She could score some goals from a longer range.� Andy Rogers is She signed with Division 1 North andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Bidding Documents may be viewed at the office of the City of Eagan and at the Issuing Office. Best Value Contracting Selection: This project is extensive, involving many affected property owners. Timing of the project is critical for the safety of the general public and to minimize disruption. In addition, the City has limited financial resources to commit to the project. Accordingly, the project must be accomplished with a minimum of interruption, on time, and without cost overruns. The City believes that only a contractor with good experience in constructing this kind of project is necessary. Two factors will be considered in the contractor selection process: price and performance. The process for the consideration of proposals for the award of this Project will take into account not only the Contract amount bid for construction items, but also the bidder's ability and performance on previous similar projects within and outside the City of Eagan, and the bidder's availability of major equipment to perform this project. The evaluation criteria to be utilized will be the total proposal price divided by the aggregate average technical performance score, as determined by the technical evaluation committee.

CDT, at the Eagan Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob Road, on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, in the Eagan Room (2nd Floor). The purpose of the conference is to provide details and answer questions regarding the evaluation/ selection criteria that will be used, along with bid price, to select a Contractor for contract award under the Best Value Contracting Authority. Failure to attend this meeting shall eliminate an absent bidder's bid submission from contract award consideration. Attendance at the conference will be recorded. Technical Proposal Deadline: Prospective Bidders' technical proposals must be received by 10:30 A.M. CDT, Tuesday, September 14, 2010, at the Eagan Municipal Center at 3830 Pilot Knob Road.

sales in three years and sold them at a profit, Chris said. But the kitchen experiments persisted: Friends and hair salon clients could not get enough of the Heimerls’ hot sauce. So four years ago, Chris said, the couple came up with their company name and decided to package the sauce and give the farmers markets a go — as a side project. They hired a marketing company that helped them with the labeling and manufacturing. The Heimerls kicked off their foray into the culinary world at Eagan Market Fest in 2006. It was the Minneapolis Farmers Market, though, that instilled a scent of success in the cauldron of their minds. “We sold 750 cases (of hot sauce) in two and a half months,� Chris said. Farmers markets played a pivotal role in the early period. “They are an inexpensive way to get the product in front of people,� Chris said. Hot fuss In 2008, with Chris looking for work after the completion of his sales position with the consumer brands division of Schwan’s, he and Julie decided to make Spooky their day job. To acquire the necessary capital to manufacture, market and compete, the Heimerls sought out small-business loans from area banks.

Billiards/from 1A record but just never got around to it. “I finally just figured, you know, I’m not getting any younger,� he said. “And my wife and some of my family and friends have diabetes, so I wanted to tie it in to a fundraising event.� The event, which even drew players from other cities who wanted to participate, raised more than $3,500 for the American Diabetes Association. “I had strangers coming in from out of town who

when the sales efforts just do not work. “Sometimes when I get a ‘no’ I just shut down,� he said. Other times, when his efforts yield positive results, it provides him with a strong sense of motivation and purpose, he added. “Sometimes it can feel like, ‘God, why are we doing this?’ � he said. Julie, on the other hand, is the self-coined “dreamer� of the two. “We are willing to take risks,� she said. The Heimerls are always looking ahead because deep within themselves, they believe in their product — and they have rising sales to bolster the notion that their culinary experiment could become something large. Julie sums up one of the secrets to their success, perhaps at a personal level as well as in business: “We’ve always liked to cook together.�

They had no luck. “Since we started when the market crashed (in 2008), banks wouldn’t talk to us,� Chris said. So they went the self-financed route. “We used our savings,� he said. They leveraged their home to support the business, and when things were bumpy at first, they almost lost their house, Chris said. “But then things turned around,� he added. As Chris and Julie experimented with mixing their hot sauce with Bloody Mary mix during the fall of 2008 and the winter of 2009, they encountered a whole new realm of business opportunity. One day in 2009 Chris decided to conjure up his institutional knowledge of sales and product purchasing from 30 years in the grocery business: He cold-called Capitol Beverage Sales of Minneapolis, a leading Budweiser distributor, and implored owner Paul Morrissey to give Spooky’s Bloody Mary mix a chance. When Morrissey (who was unreachable by press time) tasted the Heimerls’ product, Chris said, the man was sold. Three months later, once successful sales of the Bloody Mary mix proved tenable, Morrissey’s firm began distributing the hot sauce as well. By January 2010, 12 Budweiser distributors were sending Spooky’s hot sauces and Bloody Mary mixes to more than 800 liquor stores, 200 bars and 30 golf courses in

Minnesota, North Dakota and western Wisconsin. In addition to the trendy restaurants of the Blue Plate Group (including Longfellow Grill), Spooky’s sauces and mixes are available at Cowboy Slim’s in Uptown, Applebee’s restaurants, the Cabooze, the famed music bar in south Minneapolis, and other places. On the heels of this, Chris said, Spooky has switched manufacturing facilities to accommodate an anticipated growth in product distribution. “Our goal is to go regional and then national,� he said. But even with this success on the books, when the Heimerls sought funding help from banks, they still were out of luck. At this point, Chris said, he and Julie put all the money they earn back into the business. They are still too early in the process to draw a salary. Partners As Chris and Julie navigate small-business ownership, they admit that at times it can be stressful. While the occasional instability of a nascent business can be taxing on their marriage, they said, it ultimately benefits them to bring to the business the type of intimacy created by 20 years of marriage. Chris is the worrier of the two. While not entirely a “glass is half empty� character (running his own firm can be fun, he insists), he says there are some mornings

just saw me on the news and said they wanted to be a part of this,� he said. “I had a lot of support.� Erdman worked with Shooters to line up enough players for every hour around the clock. The pool hall remained open 24 hours a day through the event. “The toughest times to fill were definitely early mornings and late nights,� Marquardt said. “But the final hours created some excitement – people really wanted to be here.� Now Erdman will submit all the necessary documen-

tation – names, witnesses, video, photos – to the Guinness Book of World Records, which will verify the record before sending him a certificate. It could take a few months, he said. Erdman said he’s proud that he accomplished his goal, but it’s not something he’d want to do again. “I was just happy I completed what I set out to do,� he said.

ley), have reached a point where federal sanctions require them to offer parents the chance to transfer their children to neighboring schools that met AYP. To get to this point, these schools had to fail to meet AYP three years in a row. Sanctions do not apply if a school does not receive Title I funds, according to the NCLB rules. Steve Troen, director of teaching and learning for the district, said that between those three schools the number of parents who have requested transfer is small. “As of yesterday, there were four students total,� Troen said. He added that it is rare for parents to request a transfer. What usually happens, he said, is that E-mail Aaron Vehling at aarE-mail Aaron Vehling at aar- after parents receive the on.vehling@ecm-inc.com. on.vehling@ecm-inc.com. notice that transfer is an

option, they will call the school and staff will explain the situation. The transfer, or “school choice,� option is good for a year. “It could be that the next year that school (to which a student is transferred) may not make AYP,� he said. NCLB was written and passed in 2002 to create a national standard for proficiency in reading and math with a progressive goal of 100 percent proficiency by 2014. If a single subgroup in a particular school or in a district does not meet the proficiency requirements, then the whole institution is rendered with the status of not making AYP. The tests are based on the MCA-IIs, which were administered to grades 3-8, 10 and 11 last spring.
