Old fire truck gets new life City’s first fire truck, ‘Jenny,’ is restored to her former glory by Erin Johnson

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

She was in decent shape for a 60-plus-year-old truck, but Jenny, Eagan’s first fire truck, had lost much of her luster – and some of her original parts – over the years. Now she boasts a shiny new coat of red paint, sparkling brass trim, and fully functional equipment after a seven-month makeover funded solely by donations. Bringing Jenny back to life was an important goal for a group of retired Eagan firefighters, including some founding members of the department, said Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott. “Their biggest thing was they really wanted to see Jenny restored while they were still around,” he said. “We wanted to do it right because this will probably be the last time in any of our lifetimes this will get done.” Jenny, a 1942 Chevrolet pumper, was originally used as an Army fire truck at the Gopher Ordinance Works in Rosemount during World War II. The Eagan Fire Department purchased the truck in 1963 for about $500. Equipped with just a hose, ladders and some fire extinguishers, Jenny did not have a radio system, flashing lights, heat, or for that matter, room for firefighters, who would hold on to the side of the truck on the way to calls.

But she did help extinguish many a blaze in her day, and the firefighters who relied on her still speak of her fondly, saying she served the city well. Jenny was retired more than 30 years ago. She is now used in parades and city events, and she makes an appearance each year at the Minnesota State Fire

Conference. The department began fundraising in 2006 for the project, which was estimated to cost $40,000. But Superior Service Center in Eagan, which did the body work and painting on the truck, gave the department some big discounts, bringing the total amount to around $21,000.

Superior owner Dan Sjolseth has been very generous, Scott said. “He’s not charging us all that he should be charging us, plus he’s letting us pay as we get enough money,” he said. “These guys have donated a ton of time.” Superior has been working on the truck since May. See Jenny, 14A

Eagan library holds silent auction fundraiser Friends of the Wescott Library is looking to raise money for new cafe, other library programs by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

she said. Friends gives funds to various library programs, such as the summer reading club and home school science series, as well as money for two scholarships through the Eagan Foundation. The group’s main fundraiser is its annual book sale, which was held in October and raised about $7,000. Members are hoping the silent auction will raise about $10,000. “This will provide an extra cushion to make sure the library can provide all these programs and services through the next year,” she said. “And it’s going to be fun.” Friends has donated about $40,000 to Dewey’s Cafe, which is expected to begin construction Tuesday, Nov. 16. Organizers expect construction will take about six or seven weeks, she said. Tickets for the silent auction are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. They can be purchased in advance by credit card or Paypal at www.fwlonline.com. To donate an item for the event, call (651) 6870343. All contributions are tax deductible.

The Wescott Library in Eagan will host a silent auction from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, to raise funds for completion of its new coffee shop and other library programs. Sponsored by Friends of the Wescott Library, the event will feature complimentary hors d’oeuvres, wine and entertainment. More than 80 items will be available for bidding, including a week at Breezy Point Resort, gift certificates for local restaurants and retailers, Ordway and Guthrie tickets, museum and comedy club tickets, health club memberships, sports items, children’s birthday party packages, original art, handmade jewelry, and more. Owners of the new coffee shop, Dewey’s Cafe, will also be on hand with samples of their coffee beans. Darcy Schatz, member of the Friends of the Wescott Library board, said this is the first time the group is holding a silent auction, but fundraisers such as this are crucial for many library programs. “Wescott Library is a huge benefit to this community. More than 350,000 Erin Johnson is at eagan. people use it each year,” thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Real estate was more lucrative, but radio got Ekholm enshrined On-air personality known as ‘Donald K. Martin’ inducted into Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Darwin Ekholm, better known to his customers and a generation of radio listeners as Donald K. Martin, had a longer and more lucrative career in real estate than he did in radio. But it’s the radio career that’s forever enshrined. Ekholm, who amused audiences with his character voices while reading the news at AM powerhouse WDGY in the 1970s, was inducted last month into Minnesota’s Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The 72-year-old Burnsville resident is one of 10 new inductees, including Cyndy Brucato, Eric Eskola, Minnesota Public Radio’s Arthur Hoehn and the late Darcy Pohland. Ekholm’s radio career ended in 1977, when he was dumped by WDGY, now KFAN, after nine

The 1956 graduate of St. Paul Johnson High School was the lead singer and guitarist in a cover band called the Delricos. He met Buddy Holly at the old Prom Ballroom in St. Paul just days before Holly’s death.

Nonprofit in the business of Proposed city tax hike about next year on average home ‘bridging’ loved ones online $15Burnsville Council CaringBridge, with 50 employees, calls Eagan its home

by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A The loss of a child is often the most daunting moment in many parents’ lives. It was also the inspiration behind the online nonprofit CaringBridge. In 1997, founder Sona Mehring faced the heartbreaking task of notifying loved ones of the premature birth and later death of her close friend’s baby girl, General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

Brighid. Mehring, a website consultant, thought an online site would be the most efficient way to notify people. From there, CaringBridge was born. “I was wowed by how powerful it was in getting everyone connected,” Mehring said. Mehring chose the name CaringBridge for the Eagan-based nonprofit as a way to illustrate how the site “bridges” loved

ones. It was also a way to incorporate Brighid’s name, since she was the inspiration, Mehring said. The website provides a free, online service that enables people with serious illness or injury to connect with friends and family. “It’s centered around a patient’s deep, meaningful converSee CaringBridge, 13A

continues budget talks; open house set by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Next year’s city taxes would rise by about $15 on an average-valued Burnsville home ($208,000) under proposals taking shape for the 2011 city tax levy and budget. The City Council continued deliberations at a Nov. 9 work session on a proposed budget of about $81 million, which includes a general operating fund of $33.8 million.

Council members discussed further cost-saving measures in an effort to pare the 5.6 percent maximum tax levy they certified on Sept. 7. Based on council members’ informal rejection Nov. 9 of some of $175,000 in additional savings, the levy increase would be pared to 5.2 percent. But further budget talks are scheduled for Nov. 23, with final action on Dec. 7. A public open house on the budget will be held Nov. 30 at 4 p.m. at City Hall, 100 Civic Center Parkway.

Hooters closes doors after seven year run Restaurant raised eybrows when proposed in 2004

by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Hooters Restaurant that raised eyebrows on the Burnsville City Council when it was proposed in 2004 has closed. Burnsville Economic Development Coordinator Skip Nienhaus confirmed the closing, which the Star Tribune newspaper reported occurred on Oct. 25. Citing Dakota County records, Nienhaus said the owners owe taxes and penalties of $22,117 for the first

half of 2010 and $21,327 for the second half. The Burnsville site is the last of three Hooters Restaurants that were owned and later closed by brothers Steven and John Marso, the Star Tribune reported. The others were in St. Cloud and downtown Minneapolis. Minnesota’s only remaining Hooters, at the Mall of America, is owned by Denver-based Restaurants of America, the Star Tribune reported. Hooters

is a chain restaurant based in Atlanta. Despite most council members’ distaste for the brief tank tops and short shorts worn by Hooters’ female servers, the City Council approved in June 2004 the Marso brothers’ plan to turn an old Ember’s Restaurant into a Hooters. The building is at 12950 Aldrich Ave. S., west of Interstate 35W and south of Burnsville Parkway. Though Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and then-council

members Teresa Daly and Liz Workman voiced objections to the business, the council would have invited a legal challenge by voting against it based on Hooters’ uniforms and sexually suggestive marketing. Only Daly voted against the restaurant. A year later, the owners proposed but later dropped plans for an outdoor deck.

THISWEEK November 12, 2010

Ekholm/from 1A shows, including future WCCO-Radio personality Bill Diehl, encouraged him to seek a career in radio. Ekholm graduated from Brown Institute and was hired as a disc jockey at Top 40 station KRIB in Mason City, Iowa. He spun records at stations in Hutchinson and Red Wing before landing a job with Top 40 powerhouse KDWB in the Twin Cities. Ekholm did the news and later the all-night D.J. shift (which included a lively, two-hour call-in segment) during his stint from 1963 to 1967. He was one of about 150 reporters covering the Beatles’ press conference before their Met Stadium concert on Aug. 21, 1965. KDWB’s “arch-enemy,� WDGY, carried the press conference live. “So my program director told me, ‘Every time you ask a question, say “KDWB would like to know.� ’ That way, it would be heard live on WDGY,� Ekholm said, adding that Paul McCartney took the bait and mentioned KDWB in a response. Ekholm left KDWB to work for country station

WMIN before landing at WDGY in 1968, where he was hired to read the news 20 minutes after the hour and 20 minutes before. For kicks, Ekholm left a phone message one day for D.J. Scott Burton in the wispy voice of Truman Capote. Thinking it was from a listener, Burton liked the voice clip so much he played it on the air. Ekholm left several more before Burton got wise to his colleague. Ekholm put his theatrical vocal skills to work for three or four years when he teamed up with D.J. Charlie Van Dyke in the 5 to 9 a.m. slot. He created memorable characters, including Paul Pit, a radio preacher; Harvey Wallbanger, who slurred his words and told cornball jokes; and Dr. Frank Stein, a Boris Karloff knockoff. Before his radio career ended, Ekholm also crossed paths with “Catman� Tom Barnard, a WDGY D.J. in the 1970s. “He always was a funny guy,� Ekholm said of the current KQRS and voiceover star. “That was way before he got rich and famous.� After leaving WDGY Ekholm tried to get back

into radio but failed to land a news job with WCCO. He auditioned unsuccessfully for a Ford Motor Co. commercial. So he answered an ad for an on-site sales position with New Horizon homes at a new development in Burnsville. Ekholm got the job, and kept his radio name — Donald K. Martin — for the next 30 years as an onsite salesman for New Horizon, Tilsen Homes and Orrin Thompson Homes. His radio tag was a helpful calling card, though fewer and fewer homebuyers recognized it as the years passed, Ekholm said. Retired since 2006, Ekholm has dabbled as a country singer, sells old records and artifacts on eBay and listens mostly to public radio, saying that rap “drives me nuts.� “I’ll wager there’s not one single hip-hop record of today you’ll hear in 50 years and think it sounds good,� Ekholm said. “You won’t remember it, even. ... I probably sound like my parents did when we were talking about our rock ’n’ roll.�

Overall enrollment down slightly in District 191 Projections within close enough range to mitigate negative effects by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Student enrollment numbers in the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District are down slightly from last year. Every Oct. 1, school districts conduct a “seat count.� In Burnsville’s case, there were 9,727 students in the schools compared to 9,864 this time last year, according to a report from Lisa Rider, District 191’s executive director of business services. For the current school year, district administration budgeted for 9,708 students, Rider said.

The district’s projections were fairly close and thus the budget won’t be torn apart. The decline in 129 students is part of a pattern for District 191. Since the 2002-03 school year, it has seen a decline in enrollment. In that school year, the district had 11,434 students, losing between 200 to 300 students each year. State funding is based on end-of-year enrollment numbers, Rider said, and not on these Oct. 1 figures. The district has typically used Oct. 1 for budgeting because the difference is not large.

“I’m needing us to shift because we recognize the potential for 100-124 students that may not end their year with us,� Rider said. Among the figures in the report are open enrollment numbers. The district loses about 635 students to neighboring districts and charter schools. The biggest draws are the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan and Prior Lake-Savage school districts (pulling 433 and 207 students, respectively). E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. vehling@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Guest Columnist Parents bound by war among my Vets Day heroes by Laura O’Connor GUEST COLUMNIST

Take a moment to imagine what a hero is to you. Perhaps they look and act a certain way or have done something great to deserve this prestigious title. Maybe they save lives, teach or serve others in need. Or perhaps they are the person you just walked past on the street, a co-worker or a family member. Heroes live among us, in many different forms and for many different reasons. It was October 1969 when a young man named Tim Allen Anderson was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. He was forced to put his life and education on hold to head to basic training, leaving his friends, family and his hometown life in Minnesota. He spent that year in basic training, first at Fort Polk, La., and

then he went on to train to become an air traffic controller at Fort Rucker in Alabama. It wasn’t long before he was shipped out to Cu Chi in South Vietnam in July 1970. He served in the Army as an air traffic controller, working radar approach control, in which he would talk an aircraft through to a runway in situations of fog, rain or low visibility. During his time in Vietnam Cu Chi shut down, and he was moved to a new location at the 165th at Long Thanh, where he became a specialist 5th Class (E5), promoted up the ranks by the late Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. It was also there that he met a beautiful young woman by the name of Le Thi Phi Lan. She

Lan and Tim Anderson of Eagan worked at the base and although born and raised in Vietnam, she learned English and could communicate with him. Their courtship took place only after Tim left Vietnam in the summer of 1971. Letters that took months to arrive at their destination were their only form of communication. One year and seven months later, a final letter that included a marriage proposal found its way

into Lan’s hands, and she was immediately flown to the United States to marry Tim. Her marriage came with great sacrifices as she left her family and loved ones behind in a country on the other side of the world. They were married the day after she arrived in 1973 and later had two children, Sarah in 1977 and Laura in 1979. To be honest, the war is not something that we often talk about in my family. It may not be the easiest topic to bring up, perhaps because it is a difficult past to reflect upon. However, this war is a part our family’s culture and has shaped my mother and father’s relationship, even today. I recognize that it was because of war that my parents met. I respect both of them for serving their countries and for uniting two very different worlds

by finding a way to love during a time of fighting, sadness, conflict and tragedy. To me, the two of them together define a hero. As a young American woman who did not serve in the same way my parents had, I still take a moment to reflect, honor and remember our nation’s heroes each Veterans Day. I do this because two of those heroes are right here in my family: my parents. Tim and Lan Anderson have lived together in Eagan for 31 years. Tim is now retired after working with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for 23 years. Lan continues to work at ADP in Bloomington after 32 years. Their daughter, Laura O’Connor, lives in Faribault. Veterans Day was Nov. 11. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

I have a great respect for the people in our community as well as the people who make our legislative process work. I am also proud of the campaign my team ran. We had volunteers and staff who did an incredible job of getting information out on the candidates and the issues. Many of our citizens were doing their own research as well before casting their votes. I extend my gratitude to everyone who participated in the election process. Please accept my appreciation for all the time and effort that you spent helping us maintain our freedom of expression and our democratic form of government. My best wishes to our new representative as she takes over responsibility for our district. SANDRA MASIN Eagan

Levy information should have been circulated earlier To the editor: For the Lakeville school district, the election on Nov. 2 that included the levy referendum was not as successful as some would have hoped. One of the major reasons the levy was unsuccessful was because people were unaware of what it was about and the consequences if it did not pass. From experience, some parents in the district were not really sure what the levy was actually about, which caused them to be hesitant about supporting it. Contrary to what actually happened, information about the levy should have been circulating in the community many weeks before the election took place. The consequences of the levy could dramatically increase the financial strain put on a family involved in high school sports, raising the fee from $230-$250 to the ridiculous amount of $575-$700. Although the School Board posted information in the schools prior to the election, it was useless because a large majority of students are not eligible to vote. If the School Board had started circulating information a few weeks earlier, voters would have been more informed and it is possible that the renewal/ increase and technology funding levy could have passed.

To the editor: I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to the residents of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District for electing me to serve on the School Board for another term. It is an honor to work with our dedicated staff in partnership with parents and the community to provide exceptional educational opportunities for our students. I look forward to working with you to continue to offer an education program that is effective, challenging and MEGAN GRENIER relevant. We need to pre- Lakeville South High School junior

Cheerfully giving to the max To the editor: Thousands of charities are asking everyone in Minnesota for a donation on Give to the Max Day on Nov. 16. So how do you decide where to donate your hard-earned dollars? I believe you should give to whatever cause you feel passionate about so that you feel good about your giving rather than being overwhelmed by too many choices. For those who don’t have a charity of choice, it’s easy to learn about the endless possibilities for helping others at the GiveMN.org website. Cheerful Givers is one nonprofit to consider if you believe providing birthday gifts for kids in Minnesota whose parents can’t afford to recognize their special day is important. Michael Cuddyer of the Minnesota Twins is helping to increase donations to Cheerful Givers by offering the shoes off his feet (autographed cleats) as a thank you in a random drawing of all donors who give cheerfully. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you know how very much every donation is appreciated. KAREN KITCHEL President, Cheerful Givers Eagan

Arts enrich young people in ways nothing else can by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

What an unusual but remarkable trio – drums, drama and dancing. I watched all three kinds of student performances last week in the space of 30 minutes. And I was struck by the incredible value of arts for young people. All three student performances received lengthy ovations. First, there was a remarkable drum/ dancing corps from Minnesota Transitions, an inner-city Minneapolis charter public school. They were remarkably synchronized, highly polished, visually dazzling. The approximately 15 participants clearly were having a great time as they demonstrated that while each individual was very talented, together they could accomplish so much more. They had learned to work together, and the results were stunning. Then there was something I literally had never seen before – two young men reciting “The Charge of the Light Brigade” as a verbal duet. I’ve read and heard someone read this deeply moving poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. But having it done as a duet gave it a power that I’ve never encountered. Try it with a friend, a child, your husband, wife – it’s amazing. “Half a league, half a league, half a league onward … all in the valley of death rode the 600 … theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.” It’s a deeply moving poem depicting a charge of British cavalry against Russians in 1854. You can read it as a statement of courage, tragedy, or folly. But two young men presenting the poem via alternating stanzas gave it remarkable intensity. These students from the Academy of Sciences and Agriculture in Vadnais Heights did a most masterful job, in a

most memorable manner. Finally, a young woman from the Academy for Sciences and Agriculture danced and dazzled to a pop tune, “Son of a Preacher Man.” She leaped, dipped, and twirled. Each of these youngsters was extremely entertaining. But in each case, so much more was going on. These young people clearly had trained for many hours. They had shown some of the most valuable qualities needed in life – practice, persistence, and dissatisfaction with effort until there is excellence. You couldn’t measure any of these performances at the annual Minnesota Association of Charter Schools conference with a standardized test. But the audience’s vigorous ovation for each showed they were deeply appreciated and admired. The same is true in almost every student artistic presentation I’ve ever seen – whether district, charter, private or parochial school. Think for a moment about your favorite music. For me, it might be Johnny Cash, or Cash and Carter, or Judy Collins, or Aaron Copeland. Our favorite music often stirs us in ways that nothing else does. At best, the arts help us realize just how much humans can do. The arts give us new insights and inspiration. They move us. They astonish us. They enrich us in ways that nothing else can. The arts are not extra fluff. They are basic to helping us understand ourselves, and each other.

Shawn Bakken, right, is joined by Tim Kanaley and Megan Ward in the cast of “Mind Over Matt,� a stage comedy presented by Expressions-Lakeville Community Theater. considering going back to school, prefers community theater to reality TV. Regarding his experience on “Beauty and the Geek,� Bakken said he would “definitely do it over again� if

given the opportunity. However, the show’s tendency to condense hours of footage down to the juiciest, most drama-filled tidbits left him less than ambivalent about the cultural value

of reality TV. In general, “reality TV sucks,� he said with a laugh. Andrew Miller is at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com.

The Rosemount boys cross country team ran strong at the Class AA state meet last weekend in Northfield, coming in third overall. It’s the third top-three finish for the Irish in the past five years. They had two allstate performers as well in Shane McCallum (fourth) and Nathan Rock (ninth). It’s quite the feat considering the Irish started the season unranked. “Anytime you can qualify for state and then get on the podium is a good day,” head coach Chris Harder said. Rosemount narrowly beat Burnsville for the third time this season. “They have a good program and we’ve enjoyed the friendly rivalry the last few seasons,” Harder said. Burnsville finished in fourth place with 141 points, seven points behind Rosemount. Cole O’Brien finished in first in the team competition, and he was second individually behind Adam

Eagan High School fell a few plays short against Cretin-Derham Hall, losing 23-14 in the Section 4-5A playoffs for the second straight year on Nov. 5. The Wildcats held a 1413 lead in the fourth quarter, but the ball bounced in favor of the Raiders from there. “We had a chance there,” Eagan head coach Rick Sutton said. “We did a great job at the start of the second half. We held the ball. We had a great defensive stand.” The Raiders took the lead after a long, time-consuming drive by Cretin-Derham Photo by Rick Orndorf Hall that led to a field goal, Several Eagan football players gang tackle a Cretin-Derham which was a minor vicHall runner in the Section 4-5A finals on Nov. 5. Eagan lost tory for the Wildcats even though they lost the lead 23-14.

16-14. In the next series, deep in their own territory, a mishandled lateral from quarterback Jameson Parsons to Bob Rada led to a fumble. The Raiders recovered and scored a few plays later. “That was the turning point in the game,” Sutton said. “We just needed a break or two and we didn’t get it.” Eagan needed two scores to retake the lead, but there wasn’t much time left. The next Wildcats’ drive stalled at midfield and they never recovered. The first half was defined by two long, methodical drives by Cretin-Derham Hall that led to 13 points. “We just didn’t have the ball very much in the first half,” Sutton said. “We got a little bit more rhythm in

the second half.” Three-year starter Parsons was starting in his first game since separating his shoulder three weeks ago and made it count. “He played great considering,” Sutton said. He ran 57 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to cut the lead to 13-7 and he scored the team’s second touchdown off a 7-yard run. Last season Eagan also lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 21-20 in the section semifinals. “The hardest things is to look into the seniors’ eyes when it’s all over,” Sutton said.

Sports Irish grind out section victory over Lightning by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Rosemount High School football team qualified for its sixth trip to state and third since 2006 thanks to a 29-18 victory over Eastview on Nov. 5. It was the third time Eastview and Rosemount have met in the Section 3-5A final. Rosemount won in 2008 and Eastview won last year. It was as close as anyone has played the undefeated Irish in 2010. The Lightning had more yards, 304 to 295, but five turnovers – four interceptions and a fumble. Rosemount held the possession advantage to grind out the win. Big plays kept Eastview in the game. Ryan Reger scored off a 70-yard run

from Nate McKenzie, kept the offense moving. But Rosemount’s Andrew Hausmann wasn’t going to be denied a trip to state. He scored three of Rosemount’s four rushing touchdowns. The other came from Kevin Larson in the final 4:29 of the game. The Irish earned the right to play Lakeville South in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A state tournament on Thursday.

The Apple Valley boys soccer team won its second consecutive and ninth overall state title on Nov. 4 at the Metrodome. It wasn’t easy. The Eagles fought off an upstart Lakeville North team 2-1 in the semifinals and broke Minneapolis Southwest’s heart in the final 3-0. Both Apple Valley and Southwest were undefeated leading up to the state tournament. One was a suburban team on a 46-game win streak defending its state championship. The other a city team making its first appearance at state since 2006. The Eagles allowed five goals leading up to state and Southwest allowed just two. Something had to give. It turns out, playoff experience mattered most. If the Eagles had an edge, it was emotionally. “We got that target on our back,� senior forward Tom Obarski said. “Teams come out hard on us. Sometimes a little too hard. They expended a little bit too much energy.� Like any state final, it took a few minutes for both teams to get a feel for the other’s play style. Once they settled in, Southwest held the possession advantage. The Lakers took eight shots on goal in the first half while Apple Valley took four. “They were running it

down our throats in the first half, but we played pretty good defense,� Eagle senior keeper Tim Van Beck said. Despite an onslaught of shots in the first half, the Lakers failed to get the ball past Van Beck and his band of resolute defenders. Unhappy with their returns, the Lakers started to press, leading to a yellow card in the final moments in the first half. “(At) halftime we got a really good speech,� Obarski said. “We came out with a lot more intensity and focus.� During a free kick at 42:35, Simon Goettl found Hudson Fasching open for a score. “From there, that loosened them up,� head coach Chuck Scanlon said. The Eagles have made their living off set pieces since soccer became popular in Minnesota. “We practice those all the time,� Scanlon said. “These guys know they can really break a game open.� A few moments later Fasching broke free on a fast break, got an open look and all of a sudden Southwest had doubled their goals allowed on the season. The Eagles put the game to bed when Dane Grundstrom found Obarski for the third goal. “We’re a second half team,� Van Beck said. “We’ve been like that the whole year. We knew they were going to be a little bit tired.� Van Beck had eight saves.

Apple Valley’s Thomas Obarski fights off a Minneapolis Southwest Laker in the state finals. Apple Valley was rated No. 1 in the state when the season opened. Southwest was never far behind on the list. The 2010 Eagles defined themselves by their friendship and determination. “This year we had a little

more desire,� Scanlon said. “We had some good players up the middle and we built around it. They really stepped up their game.� Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

fully being able to build CaringBridge into what it is today and what it will be in the future,� she said. CaringBridge has blossomed into a successful nonprofit with 50 employees. Despite the recession, the organization has remained financially stable with $7 million in annual revenue this year – 92 percent of which comes from donations. All donations are tax deductible. Since CaringBridge’s creation, more than a half million people from across the globe have connected through the site. Each day, 227,000 personal CaringBridge sites are created. One of these sites was created by Apple Valley residents Lori and Roch Hannasch. At age 45, Roch was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2009 and underwent extensive surgeries, one of which caused a stroke.

CaringBridge/from 1A sations,� Mehring said. The client is able to control the level of privacy for each site, which includes photos, journal updates and an online guest book that allows loved ones to write words of encouragement. Unlike social networking sites, no membership is required and there is no advertising, Mehring said. Additionally, all sites are off-limits to search engines, she said.

In its infancy A few months after Brighid died, Mehring began creating sites for other families dealing with health crises. The organization started as a side project, while Mehring worked as an independent consultant creating websites for small and medium-sized businesses. But as the organization quickly took on a life of its own, Mehring decided to quit her consulting career in 2002 to run CaringBridge full time as CEO. That same year, the organization was incorporated as a nonprofit. Mehring said the move was nerve-wracking at first since the start-up had been financed by her consulting business. “It was a leap of faith,� she said. “But it was so important to have it go to more and more people.� The most difficult task was raising awareness, Mehring said, especially when the Internet was still relatively new. But as more people started going online, the barrier broke down, she said.

“It was very tough,� Lori said. “He went from the breadwinner to being unemployed.� Although the tumor was removed, doctors believe it was a result of an underlying cancer that is still ongoing, Lori said. The couple, who have four teenage children, turned to CaringBridge as a way to keep a journal of Roch’s progress for friends and family as well as for their own records. “It was nice to have a place for people to show their support,� Lori said. Lori said she particularly likes that the site has a place for comments and photos. The couple continue use the site to keep loved ones informed of Roch’s progress. “Each CaringBridge story is unique and powerful,� Mehring said. “That is what is tremendously rewarding.�

As many as 10 workers each took on different sections of the truck, doing their best to restore rather than replace. “Almost all of it is still original,� said body shop supervisor Tony Hoffman. “The body panels, the doors, the fenders, everything is original on the truck.� There were some missing pieces, however, including some that had been missing since the city purchased the truck originally. Brackets, fire extinguishers, and other parts had to be researched and located. “It was kind of a treasure hunt to find all this stuff,� Scott said. Replacement items were found either on eBay or taken from Jenny’s sister truck on the UMore property in Rosemount.

The city made large cuts totaling $3.5 million in 2009 and 2010 and didn’t increase the 2010 levy. Council members balked Nov. 9 at some of the $175,000 in added cuts presented by city staff as options for paring the maximum levy.

A boost for property inspections Council members also agreed on a rare budget addition of $25,000 for a seasonal position for property inspections. The previous cuts left only one person to do maintenance-code inspections citywide. And there are lots of complaints from residents about neighboring properties, Council Member Mary Sherry said. In her own neighborhood, a “huge� truck trailer is parked illegally in a driveway, and at another house, a full dumpster of trash continues to sit outside the vacated property, Sherry said. “It’s just so blatant,� she said.

Two council members – Charlie Crichton and Dan Kealey – voted against the maximum levy in September, calling for a 3.7 percent hike instead of 5.6 percent. A majority of council members rejected saving $20,000 by cutting overtime used to speed up spring street sweeping and patching. “This is not the 20 thousand to take out,� Crichton said. “We need to get the work done as fast as we can.� Council members also rejected cutting $25,000 in police, fire and public works overtime costs for the Burnsville Fire Muster, International Festival of Burnsville, Art and All That Jazz Festival and Heart of the City Half Marathon. Those services have already been cut by $25,000. Council members agreed on $33,500 in police and fire overtime cuts, including a

Sjolseth said he and his crew enjoyed working on the fire truck for the past seven months, a first for all of them. “It was a very fun project to do. It was a big project,� he said. “It’s very rewarding to be able to do this for the city and the community. It’s nice to be able to give back this way.� The department still needs to raise about $5,000 for the project. Donations to the restoration effort are tax deductible and can be made to the Eagan Fire Department. For more information, call (651) 675-5900.

Falling values have hit both residential and commercial properties. Burnsville’s total residential property value has dropped 8.6 percent in the past year, according to city figures. Commercial properties have lost 5.4 percent in value, and apartments 7.8 percent.

“Most of the stuff we found was from that exact truck or that era,� said body shop technician Mark Kath. Other local businesses also helped make the restoration possible. Flint Hills donated a fire hose, Bodeker Fixtures donated all the brass finishing, Marks Towing donated transportation of the truck, and Lockheed Martin contributed $1,000 to the effort. A shiny new Jenny will soon have a place of honor in a showroom at the new fire station, which is currently under construction on the corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Wescott Woodlands. She will share space with a vintage Eagan squad car behind a glass garage door for easy viewing. As a nod to the new “green� fire station, Jenny was sprayed with a low
