Retail office at Lockheed Martin site? by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Minneapolis-based developer is hoping to turn a huge chunk of the Lockheed Martin building in Eagan into retail space. “Given its proximately to Town Centre and Promenade (two major retail centers), we believe it is a strong, viable trade area site that lends itself to retail uses,� said Tom Palmquist, vice president of commercial development for CSM Corp. The city’s comprehensive guide currently designates the property as major office. “(But) filling a 623,000 square-foot office building that was built 40 years ago for a specific use could be

very difficult,� said City Administrator Tom Hedges. Subdividing the site could also be challenging, he said. CSM Equities LLC, an affiliate of CSM Corp., is asking city officials to amend their comprehensive guide plan to redesignate 41.2 acres of the 51-acre site as retail commercial. The plans also call for several freestanding restaurants and would keep the remaining 6.2 acres as office space. “We are looking at a variety of alternatives and are trying to put together the best mix,� Palmquist said. The site is at a prime location — the intersection of Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle roads, Eagan’s busi-

Before making any final decisions, though, city of-

ficials would want to ensure another retail complex would compliment others in the area, Palmquist said. The project — which CSM calls Central Park

Commons — would do just that, he said. “Our hope is to bring retailers to the Eagan trade area that are new to the market and who offer something that the current retailers don’t,� he said, adding that CSM has been talking with several interested businesses. The developer purchased the property in April and closed on the sale in June, but Lockheed Martin will continue to occupy the space under a lease agreement until it officially closes its Eagan operation in the spring of 2013. The company announced last November it would close its Eagan facility by 2013, resulting in about 350 layoffs and 650 job transfers

to other Lockheed Martin facilities. CSM’s redevelopment plans are still in their infancy. Its proposal is expected to go before the Planning Commission in September. If it passes there, the proposal will move on to the City Council on Oct. 4. If it approves the comprehensive plan amendment, the council would also need Metropolitan Council approval. The property is presently zoned as research and development, so that, too, would need to be changed before a development could move forward, Hedges said.

Easter pastor follows road Sniffing for fun at Lac Lavon paved by aunt, mother Kristen Capel to be first female lead pastor at Easter Lutheran Church by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For nearly two decades, the Rev. Kristen Capel has followed a road paved by women — including those in her family — who sidestepped the norm by becoming Lutheran pastors. Now Capel will be paving a road of her own by becoming the first woman to lead Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan. Capel, 38, will succeed the Rev. Jim Borgschatz, who formed the congregation the same year Capel was born. As one of the first few women to be ordained during the 1970s, Capel’s aunt, Connie Jensen, was among those who inspired her to become a Lutheran pastor. “When I heard she was going to seminary school, I realized for the first time it was possible for me,� Capel said. Her mother was also instrumental in Capel’s decision to join the church. As a young woman, Capel’s mother dreamed of becoming a pastor, but at the time, that wasn’t an option for women. At age 63 Capel’s mother finally fulfilled her dream and was ordained in 2004 into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Capel said she took an interest in the church’s

Honors pile high for leader in field of developmental disability Wieck, of Burnsville, heads governor’s council by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Colleen Wieck was just starting her career when Minnesota began its long march toward deinstitutionalization of people with developmental disabilities. She was working at the Itasca Developmental Achievement Center in Coleraine when the Welsch case commenced in 1972. It was a class action on behalf of developmentally disabled people languishing in state hospitals. Case files revealed that “very minor things,� conditions such as epilepsy, could land you in a state hospital, said Wieck, a state and national leader in her field who recently won yet another prestigious award. “We had people who had lobotomies,� the Burnsville resident said. “And people who had experimental surgeries. We were able to assist people leaving institutions who had a variety of these injustices, whether it was medical experimentation, restraints, aversive treat-

It’s but one of 55 awards for a scholar, researcher, administrator and advocate who volunteered as a Title 1 teacher’s aide while attending high school in Barnum, Minn., in the late 1960s.

Drivers in Burnsville may have found traffic at key intersections moving more smoothly thanks to flashing yellow arrows on traffic signals. The flashing arrows allow waiting motorists to make a left-hand turn after yielding to oncoming traffic. The arrows were added this summer to signal lights at three Nicollet Avenue intersections – at Burnsville Parkway, 126th Street and Travelers Trail. Burnsville’s first flashing yellow arrows were activated last year at Burnhaven Drive and 141st Street, near the Costco store that opened in November. The newer arrows have been operating for about a month and a half, said Public Works Director Steve Albrecht. The first was on the new signal at 126th Street, next to Nicollet Commons Park in the Heart of the City. “It’s basically something that allows the intersection to function a little more efficiently and take advantage of times of day when there isn’t a lot of oncoming traffic,� Albrecht said. They’re not right for every intersection, depending on traffic volumes and patterns and intersection configuration, Albrecht said. But the city will consider them at more intersections when traffic signals are scheduled for improvements, he said. “We’ve had no complaints about them,� Albrecht said. Burnsville isn’t alone. The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced last September that the signal at a major

The signal at the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and 126th Street was the first of three along Nicollet to get flashing yellow left-turn arrows. interchange in Woodbury would be among the nation’s first to feature the arrows. “This is the biggest change in traffic signal design and operation in the past 40 years,� said Jerry Kotzenmacher, MnDOT senior engineering specialist, in a September 2010 news release. “We have shop-tested these signals for many months and are confident the signals will improve safety and reduce congestion.� This spring, Dakota County installed the arrows on two Eagan intersections — at Yankee Doodle and Blue Cross roads, and at Yankee Doodle and Coachman roads. The arrows move more vehicles through an inter-

section with less delay by allowing drivers to turn left when there’s a gap in oncoming traffic, the county’s Transportation Department said in a May report. “The flashing yellow arrow is also expected to improve intersection safety by reducing the number of collisions,� the department said. The Federal Highway Administration authorized use of flashing yellow arrows in December 2009. In a federally approved pilot project, MnDOT installed flashing yellows in 2006 at Highway 110 and Highway 149 in Mendota Heights. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Lindell Roy, Allan age 88 of Apple Valley, went to his eternal rest and Master on Aug. 19, 2011. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gustav and Alfrida Lindell; survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Elaine; children, Robert (Delphina Souza), Charlotte (Rick) Green, Barb (Bob) Behan, Richard (Janice Anderson) and Ralph (Mona Selim) Lindell; 10 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. Allan will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Allan (yes he went by his middle name) was born March 17, 1923 , in St. Paul, MN. He was the only child of Alfrida Charlotta (nee: Berglund) and Bror Gustav Lindell, immigrant Swedes that came to America to escape the terrible famine that gripped Sweden. Allan worked for the railroad for over 30 years, interrupted only by his military service in the U.S. Army during WWII. Early in his career he saw the railroad transitioning from steam locomotives to diesel electric locomotives, so he took the initiative to take home study courses in electronics from DeVry Institute. As his career progressed he moved his family roughly every 6 years, going to St. Paul, MN, westward to Staples, MN, up to East Grand Forks, MN, then southward to Moorhead, MN, then back to Staples, and finally over to Superior, WI, where he retired as the foreman of Locomotives. Allan loved fishing (he even made time for some fishing on his honeymoon), canoeing, camping, family vacations and reunions, bowling, and doing home improvements. He sang in the church choir, was active in Gideon’s Bible Society, but most of all he loved his wife and family. A special thank you to the Centennial House Staff in Apple Valley, the St. Jude Hospice Program and the pastoral care staff at Grace Lutheran Church. Funeral Services will be held 11 AM on Thursday (8/25) at Grace Lutheran Church, 7800 Co. Rd. 42., Apple Valley with visitation on Wednesday from 5-8pm at the White Funeral Home, 14560 Pennock Ave., Apple Valley (952 432 2001) also 1 hr prior to Service at Church.

THISWEEK August 26, 2011

Opinion ECM Editorial Using tomorrow’s dollars to pay for today’s education The solution to ending the state shutdown last month was accomplished, in part, by delaying payments to school districts. That means the state will pay next year part of the revenue owed to school districts for operation this year. The state will shift the payment to the future, but the bills will still have to be paid now by districts. So if you have the bills but not the revenue, what do you do? You spend what reserves you might have and then borrow. You pay interest on what you borrow and you promise that when the shift is ended you will pay back the loan. This year, school districts will receive 60 percent of their state

revenue, and next year they will receive the other 40 percent. Next year, school districts will receive the 40 percent that was delayed; however, they will again only receive 60 percent of the state revenue they have coming that year, and the other 40 percent will again be delayed. Only when the state comes up with the 40 percent to pay off the debt will the payments be back on schedule. What if the state didn’t delay payments? Well, there are two actions: Raise taxes or cut programs and services. To avoid raising taxes or cutting programs the state borrowed and used school districts as the vehicle to borrow. Some folks argue that costs

should have been reduced and programs cut. Frankly, that sounds great unless it’s your child, now in school, who will experience the impact of those cuts. In fact, it’s not just a school issue. There is always the possibility that once the cuts were made we would gladly welcome the taxes, but who wants to sacrifice a year or two of their son’s or daughter’s education to a public tax reality check? The delay in school payments from the state bought time and not much else. So what are we doing with this valuable time? The fear is that the valuable time will be filled with discourse dominated by generalities, accusations, philosophies, personalities and end-

less political commercials. Current polls indicate that there is some public support for both cuts and tax increases. Why not use this time to specify the potential cuts and the potential tax increase? Borrowing is now a reality, so before we get back to the “he said-she said� back-and-forth, can we ask for a description of the choices we face? Can we ask the decision-makers who closed down the state a few months ago to now stay at the table and work on solutions? Can we ask for enough sunlight on the process so we can see and hear the reality of the choices and the quality of the discussion? Can we get a shared vision for

Minnesota’s students and the beginning of a plan to achieve that vision? Can we tell the parents of Minnesota’s 800,000 students just how their children will be affected next year, and each year thereafter? Can we listen to our parents’ reactions to those proposals before our views are set in stone? We borrowed against our children’s future to save their future. Now we have to make sure that loan and that risk aren’t squandered. An editorial from the ECM Editorial Board. Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

With welfare of children at stake, don’t ignore bullying

Poll shows strong support for ideas that help students

by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

As opening of school approaches, parents should heed the warning that students are being bullied by other students physically, verbally and on social media. Despite school policies on bullying, some students, particularly gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, are being bullied. Worsening the problem is cyberbullying, done by students anonymously over social media and outside school hours. Parents need to get involved and tell their students bullying is wrong and warn they will not back them if they are bullies. According to Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom, who lectures on the dangers of bullying, 80 percent of parents in society don’t see bullying as a concern. Backstrom says that bullying is an early form of aggressive, violent behavior and points out that 60 percent of bullies have a criminal record by the time they are 20. Parents also need to be concerned because their children could be the ones bullied. Backstrom says that 75 percent of kids at one point in their lives have been bullied. He also tells parents that as many as 160,000 children miss school every day in America for fear of being bullied. Parents generally regard bullying as something natural, preferring to let it be a boys-will-be-boys and girls-will-be-girls matter. Some parents even suggest that if their child is picked on, the child should strike back. Backstrom says this is bad advice and only irritates the bully. Parents also are advised not to take lightly their child’s complaint about getting

bullied in school. They immediately should listen to their child, assure their support and contact school authorities and alert them to the problem. Delaying and brushing off the complaint will only cause the victim to withdraw, which could lead to other problems, including suicide. Parents first should notify the classroom teacher and expect results. If they fail to get cooperation, Backstrom says, parents should take the matter all the way up to the school superintendent and the school board, if necessary. School officials are telling staff that bullying and harassment of students will not be tolerated. Guided by official school policies, the bullies eventually could be expelled from school. Backstrom says he has found that school officials want to stop any bullying and protect the safety of all children. Regarding cyberspace bullying on social media, parents of a bullied student should go to the parents of anyone bullying online. Furthermore, Backstrom said if their children are harassed and threatened they should report it to the police, because harassment, stalking and terroristic threats are against state law. Parents must take the bullying of their child seriously and act on the matter immediately, because their child’s welfare is at stake. Don Heinzman is chairman of the ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Wardlow is right for the times To the editor: Following this past state legislative session many voters may be inclined to take the easy way out by prescribing to the latest mantra: “throw the incumbents out.� There is no denying that this past state legislative session has not been a pretty sight. Political ideologies were sharply defined as well as divided. This political climate would understandably generate

voter anger. Think carefully before allowing your vote to be cast in such anger. As a voting citizen of Eagan District 38B I am grateful during this troublesome economic era to have Doug Wardlow as my state representative. Wardlow’s character remains true and uncompromised in that he has not swayed from his campaign pledge to rein-in spending, downsize government, and enact legislation that unleashes the power of free enterprise, which in turn drives private-sector job

creation. This troublesome economic era calls for the retention of a legislator of uncompromising character, one who understands that the future of our state depends upon the growth of free enterprise and not big government. Wardlow is the tried and true legislator for these troublesome times. Think carefully before allowing your vote to be cast in anger.

While there is deep division in the U.S. about some issues, a new national poll released last week shows strong, and sometimes surprising support for several key ideas in public education. Young people and families in Lakeville and Farmington gain from the way these ideas are being applied locally. The results come from the 43rd annual collaboration between Gallup, one of the nation’s most respected polling companies, and Phi Delta Kappa, a national education organization. When I look at this year’s PDK/Gallup poll results, I see three trends emerging: respect, empowerment, and choice. First, as a former urban public school teacher, married to a 33-year veteran of urban public schools, and as a parent of an urban public school teacher, I was gratified to see that two-thirds or more of Americans respect the profession since they would encourage “the brightest person you know� and “a child of yours� to become a public school teacher. While some educators feel a lack of respect, this poll found considerable support for the profession. Minnesota, and Farmington/Lakevillearea families, benefit from this because for some teaching openings, there are literally hundreds of people applying. Unlike some states that have a difficult time attracting teachers, Minnesota actually has a surplus in some teaching areas. In fact, some states come to Minnesota to recruit teachers. Second, that esteem is demonstrated in the willingness of 72 percent of poll respondents to empower educators by “giving teachers flexibility to teach in ways they think best,� rather than require them “to follow a prescribed curriculum.� I hope creative, committed, hard-working teachers find these responses encouraging. Third, just as most poll respondents want teachers to be free to select materials and strategies, 74 percent support allowing families “to choose which public schools in

the community the students attend, regardless of where they live.� Seventy percent also favor “the idea of charter public schools.� Poll trends show support growing for public school choice, including charters. Minnesota families benefit from a variety of “Dual Credit� options. These allow hard-working high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. Students can simultaneously save literally thousands of dollars in college costs, and by challenging themselves, be well prepared for college. See www.centerforschoolchange.org/high-school-college-enrollment/index.html. Area families also benefit from a number of strong public school options that are available. These include local public schools, “online� public schools, open enrollment into nearby districts, the School for Environmental Studies (Zoo School) in Apple Valley and several magnet schools. There also are several charter public schools available, including Paideia in Apple Valley and Seven Hills Classical Academy in Bloomington. The poll has just over 40 questions, and is available online. It’s at www.pdkintl.org/ poll/index.htm. Yes, there are strong, deep divisions on some issues in this country. But this poll shows there is very strong agreement on a number of key ideas in education. These responses are consistent with empowering educators to decide how they teach. Some educators want more respect, but oppose allowing families to choose among district and charter public schools. Strong majorities of the public support both educator and family public school choice. Joe Nathan, a former public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, and a parent of three public school graduates, now directs the Center for School Change at Macalester College.

Last year’s state runner-up excited to get back on the field by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Last season, the Irish favored a straight-ahead, no nonsense, multifaceted running attack. Logan Lindberg is the leading returning rusher who had more than 300 yards last season. Isaiah Lufkin and Charles Broback have experience along with senior captain quarterback Nate Lemoine. The base of a good running attack starts with the offensive line. The only returning offensive starters are linemen Stefan Sauer and Brandon Forcier. Last year’s defense held teams to two scores or less per game except against Eastview and Wayzata. Five starters return mostly in the secondary and linebacker. All-conference honorable mention member Matt Larson will lead Bryce Wilberding and Jake Mortenson at linebacker with Jordan Tumilson and Jake O’Malley at defensive back. Rosemount will head to Bloomington Kennedy for the season opener on Thursday. The team’s home opener is Sept. 9 when Burnsville comes to town.

Last year was the most exciting season for Rosemount football in recent memory. In the team’s third appearance at state in five years, the Irish finished runner-up in Class 5A and won the Section 3-5A title. It was the highest point the team ascended since 1981 when the school won the Class AA title. Good teams usually rely on several seniors and the Irish were no different. Seven all-conference members have since graduated along with six members of the honorable mention team. But turnover is nothing new to the Irish or their opponents. “We are excited about the challenges we will face each week in the South Suburban Conference,� coach Jeff Erdmann said. “We hope to be a hard-working unit that plays as a team and represents ourselves well every night.� He feels the team has Photo by Rick Orndorf good chemistry and his Rogers is at The Rosemount football team took in some passing drills main concerns are staying Andy during practice earlier this week.

Lightning primed for another run Eastview offense loaded with experience at the skilled positions by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eastview football team has played in the section final the past four years and the players don’t plan on ending that streak in 2011. Even after a slow start in 2010, the Lightning won seven of eight leading to the Section 3-5A final. “Right now, of course, we want to be section champions,� offensive lineman Zack Johnson said. “It comes down to how much work we want to do during the season. If we work hard, there’s no doubt this team can get back there.� This year’s version of the Lightning has a little more

experience, particularly on offense, including the all conference Johnson. Johnson and Kai Matsuhashi lead an offensive line that will protect quarterback Rex Reger. Reger will have plenty of options whether he’s called to throw or hand the ball off. Running backs Montreal Roberts, Alex Sukar and LeAndre Kennedy have returned along with receivers Adam Moorse, Austin Hebig and tight end Kenyon Phillips. “Mentally we’re ahead of where we were last year at this point,� head coach Kelly Sherwin said. While the offense is

and seniors meaning several of those starters are back. One thing the Eagles will have on their side is depth as very few players will need to be on both offense and defense. “Football is about numbers and you need a good 30-35 kids to play,� head coach Mike Fritze said. “Last year we needed a few guys to fill two of those

spots. Practice-wise that really hurt us.� On offense, new quarterback Matt Thomas has veteran receivers Grant Christian, Mitch Hechsel and Steve Wilson to make the transition easier. The offense will rely on a spread formation to take advantage of its wide receivers. “They are miles ahead See Eagles, 10A

Sports Wildcats look promising in practice Eagan football has improved by at least one win every year since going winless in 2007 by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan football team hopes to continue its winning ways after assembling its best team in years in 2010. The Wildcats finished with a 6-5 record, which was their first season above .500 in a long time. Eagan lost four all-conference members to graduation, including star quarterback Jameson Parsons and team leaders in rushing (Bob Rada), receiving (Matt Hentges), and tackling (Matt Keller). “We had a lot of experience last year, but this is a new year,� linebacker Mitch Knutson said. “Everyone is working hard and taking it day by day. It’s whoever shows up on game day. � Several South Suburban Conference coaches have put Eagan on the list of favorites in 2011. The Wildcats have Drew

Bauer in line to succeed Parsons. Bauer started three games after Parsons was injured and led the Wildcats to wins against Henry Sibley and East Ridge in the playoffs when he had 296 combined rushing and passing yards. He’ll have plenty of experienced receivers, including Aaron Roundtree, Mack Nelson and Eric Woodcock. Michael Busch will help with the running attack after backing up Rada last season with Connor Randal leading the offensive line. “The biggest thing on defense is to get the ball back to (the offense),� Knutson said. “I think they can do a lot of good things this year. I think we can surprise a lot of people.� On defense, Knutson leads an inexperienced squad that features lineman Mitch Johnson along with linebackers Alex Mangen and Tommy Nowariak.

Seniors emerge on new-look Blaze Several new starters and new head coach head into 2011 with enthusiasm With a new head coach and several new starters, the jerseys are probably the most familiar aspect of Burnsville’s football team this year. Burnsville is coming off its best season since 2006 with a 4-6 record and a 2216 playoff win over Apple Valley. But the 2010 version was senior-heavy with halfback CJ Smith, quarterback Cam Jones and leading tackler Riley Shook. The team’s top offensive weapons have all graduated. The focus during preseason practice has been on who is around rather than who isn’t. “Our goal is to get better every day and I think we’re doing that,� Burnsville head coach Tyler Krebs said. “The kids are working hard every day in the weight room and the practice field. “We have a really good senior class leading by example and everyone is feeding off their energy.� The Blaze aren’t blessed

Wieck/from 1A President Robert Bruinicks, then a professor of special education. Despite its early injustices, Minnesota was the 10th

with much experience with four regular starters back from last season, but the roster will likely feature several seniors. “It was a pretty talented senior class last year, but the good teams do that and we hope to play a lot of seniors every year,� Krebs said. “We worked hard in the weight room and it’s almost like they played last year,� senior captain Michael Callanan said. The schemes are different too. Last year the offense used a lot of spread while mixing in a few other formations. This season the staff is implementing a wing-T offense. Last year, the defense played a lot of man-to-man. This year it’s zone. On offense, Krebs said Dan Motl will rarely leave the field. Motl, who was one of the leaders on the state championship baseball team, will take the snaps at quarterback. He’ll also see time as a defensive back and return kicks and punts. “It’s good to have a guy like that on your side,�

Krebs said. Motl will have a pair of seniors to hand the ball off to – Josh Christoffersen and Jalen Dyson and a senior-laden offensive line – Nick Stein, Garrett Pfiffner, Zach Gigstad and Chase Roullier. “We always believe that you win games up front on the offense and defensive line,� Krebs said. “(Those) guys worked very hard over the summer.� The defense features linebackers Evan Voxland and Brad Scharber, linemen Matt Deering and Brian VanderWoude and defensive back Callanan. While there are several new starters, Roullier feels the Blaze will improve its record. “We have strengths in different positions but at the same time I feel like we’re pretty equal to last year at this point,� Roullier said. “We’re not the biggest but we have some pretty quick guys. It’s very different than last year.�

She was the primary creator of the widely used leadership training program, begun in 1987, for adults with disabilities and parents

idea about history,’ because they think history began with the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 — when in fact we started with 1500 B.C.� and the first written mention of disability. The language people use around disability “communicates how we value people,� Wieck said. “In 2005 the (Minnesota) Legislature approved a bill to update and modernize the language,� she said. “So we substituted ‘developmental disabilities’ for the ‘R’ word (retardation), and we substituted ‘disability’

for ‘handicap,’ the ‘H’ word, in rules and statutes.� But the No. 1 issue by far for people with developmental disabilities is jobs, Wieck said. “We have a lot of providers in Minnesota that do a great job of helping people get employment,� she said. “I think because of the recession we’ve seen a decrease in the number of people (with jobs). And if you ask people directly themselves, they’d like to work more hours.� John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

City Briefs Green Business Workshop offered

Volunteers needed for campaign

Buses to run shuttles to State Fair

Dakota Valley Recycling and the ARROW program will host the 2011 Green Business Workshop from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, at Eagan Community Center, 1501 Central Parkway. This year’s workshop will feature a panel of businesses that have implemented energy- and waste-reducing initiatives. Attendees will find out about employee “Green Teams� and how having one can lead to office efficiency, cost savings and increased morale. Attendees also will get the up-to-date information on green initiatives, such as energy-saving equipment group-buys, environmen-

tally-preferable purchasing, and sustainability best practices. Attendees can connect with utility representatives and sustainability experts about free and low-cost programs, grants, loans and technical assistance. This workshop is free and open to business owners and employees in Eagan, Apple Valley and Burnsville. Pre-registration is required at www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z2PKVCT. If online registration is not an option, call (952) 895-4511 to register by phone. Call ARROW business coordinator Leigh Behrens at (952) 895-4515 with questions.

In June, the Burnsville City Council pledged its commitment to military service members and their families by passing a proclamation in support of the statewide Beyond the Yellow Ribbon campaign. Now, it is up to community members to help make the campaign a success in Burnsville. Volunteers are needed in seven areas including community leadership, public safety, faith-based organizations, veterans/civic organizations, youth/education, social services/medical providers and business/employment. This includes local educators, elected officials, employers, faith-based organizations, veterans, pub-

lic safety officials, medical personnel and other community volunteers. Individuals or groups interested in contributing to the Yellow Ribbon campaign should contact Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen at (952) 895-4466 or email tom.hansen@ ci.burnsville.mn.us with the area in which they would like to help. The campaign’s goal is to create a comprehensive community network of agencies, organizations and services to provide local military families with assistance and support. For more information on the campaign, visit www. beyondtheyellowribbon.org or call (651) 282-4284.

The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority will offer rides to the Minnesota State Fair from Aug. 25 - Sept. 5. On weekdays, State Fair Express buses will operate to/from the Burnsville High School and Burnsville Transit Station and the fairgrounds. Buses will leave from Burnsville High School, 600 E. Highway 13, then travel to the Burnsville Transit Station (northeast corner of Highway 13 and Nicollet Avenue), then will go to the fairgrounds. Buses will depart hourly from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Buses will leave the fairgrounds to return to BTS and the high school hourly from noon to midnight. Weekends and Labor Day buses will operate to/from

the fair from the Burnsville and Eagan transit stations (not from Burnsville High School). Buses will leave the stations every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Buses will leave the fairgrounds to return to BTS and ETS every 30 minutes from noon to midnight. Round-trip fare is $5 cash for those age 5 and older; fares are free for children 4 and under. The round-trip fare is collected in Burnsville or Eagan, and no fare is collected on the return trip. Exact fare is required in the form of dollar bills and/or coins. Call (952) 882-7500 for more information or visit www.mvta.com.

Lightning/from 7A

a little less experienced over there and we may be a bit undersized, but we should be able to make that up with some team speed.� Andrew Johnson, Nate McKenzie and Cody Peterson are expected to play increased roles. If practice

is any indication, Sherwin feels the defense has the talent, but needs experience. “It’s going to take a while as always,� Sherwin said. “I think we can be pretty good. It’s just a matter of everyone figuring out their roles.�

The Lightning hope to avoid a repeat of last year’s two straight losses to open the season when the team also had several new starters. “We’re a lot more together this year,� Johnson said. “Our first week last year we

were struggling big time. This year we all know each other well. It’s a big plus. I have a good feeling about this team.� Eastview will make the trip to Lakeville North on Thursday in the season opener before coming

home on Sept. 9 for a game against Lakeville South and then Eagan on Sept. 16.

Fritze said. “He’s a very skilled three-year player. They were both a big part of our success rushing last year.� The speedy Dom McDew-Stauffer returns as the featured running back after sharing carries last season. The defense has a few more openings with four

starters returning. Patrick O’Neil, Daniel Woiwor and Harry Sonie provide one of the more experienced secondaries in the south metro. James Horton and Seth Morris return at linebacker. The biggest question mark is the defensive line, where the Eagles spent much of the preseason try-

ing to find all new starters. “The kids have been playing well,� Fritze said. “It’s hard to determine too many things until you play somebody else. They’re very inexperienced. That position really has to step up for us to do well.� With three linemen in their 3-4 defense, the line has been tested by going up

against Martens and Broberg every day in practice. The Eagles will open the season with a nonconference game at Hopkins on Thursday. The team’s home opener is scheduled Sept. 9 when Lakeville North pays a visit. The game will recognize the 25th anniversary of Apple Valley’s state cham-

pionship in 1986. Individuals from that team will be honored prior to the game. To register or get more information visit avfootball. com

starter. It may take a few games to settle in, but Sherwin has been down this road before. “We can move and we have guys who want to play,� Sherwin said. “We’re

Eagles/from 7A of where we were last year as far as our passing team,� Fritze said. To keep the defense away, offensive linemen Zach Martens and Blake Broberg have put the pads back on for another season. “Martens is being looked at by Division I schools,�

Burnsville Burnsville auto shop targeted to high-end performance market David Trumble developed his taste for European high-performance autos when he bought his first Volkswagen Golf at age 15. Now 23, he’s owned five Volkswagen/Audi cars and worked on dozens more vehicles, European and domestic. The self-taught mechanic and auto-performance specialist will put his skills and passion to the test with Nur Technik, a service and performance business that opens to the public on Sept. 10 in Burnsville. David’s partner is his 30-year-old brother, Mike, a fellow European auto buff who has worked on dozens of cars himself as the duo established their business mostly by word-of-mouth. On Sept. 10 they’ll throw open the doors of Nur Technik, located at 11920 12th Ave. S. in north Burnsville. Nur Technik specializes in repair and modification of European vehicles as well as high-performance American cars such as the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette. Servicing of other

such brands as VW/Audi (Volkswagen owns the Audi brand), BMW and Porsche, said David, who likes to push his own Volkswagen R32 and its 350-horsepower engine during open-track weekends at Brainerd International Raceway. His brother owns a 2008 R32, which he’d like to test at BIR. “I haven’t yet,� Mike said. “I’m looking forward to bringing mine in. It’s supposed to go a top speed of 170.� Though only 23, David Trumble has been dreaming of entering the high-end auto business for years. A sixth-year engineering student with a concentration in mechanical design, he rented a single-car garage at the University of Wisconsin-Stout to work on his own vehicles. Last year, he began offering his automotive services to friends and family. Joining forces with Mike, the pair began offering automotive services out of Mike’s garage in Lakeville. In April the Trumbles began renting the 3,000-square-foot space in Burnsville, which has un-

dergone extensive renovation. David said Nur Technik offers an alternative to more expensive dealer repair shops. “A lot of people kind of are scared of European cars and how expensive they are to fix,� he said. “We’re pretty honest with our pricing.� Occupying one of Nur Technik’s two automotive bays in recent weeks was David’s yellow 1998 Volkswagen GTI with a VR-6 engine. “It’s kind of always been under the knife,� he said of the prized possession. “It’s never going to be finished, a constant project. My goal is the fastest and most reliable GTI around.� A Sept. 10 grand opening will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.nurtechnik. com or call (952) 322-7495.

domestic cars is also available. “Maintenance and repair is definitely the bread and butter,� David said. “It’s kind of like what we do between performance jobs.� For the uninitiated, he explained that “performance� means all facets of making a car run better and faster, from suspension and exhaust systems to engines and brakes. The German translation of Nur Technik is “Only Engineering,� but in naming their business the Eurobuff brothers were also inspired by the Nurburgring Raceway in Germany, a testing and proving grounds for manufacturers of performance cars. David said there’s lots of market potential for Nur Technik in an underserved south metro area. “Our demographic would probably be early 20s to mid-40s,� he said. “Most of them are kind of people who have been through the phase of their Hondas and going quick and driving stupid, and they’ve matured into the high-end performance spectrum.� That means owners of

Capel/from 1A an ELCA congregation. Unlike many of the women before her, Capel said she has faced very few barriers as a female church leader. Capel said she believes this is due to the ELCA’s progressive nature. “I know the generation before me had a very difVandenBoom/from 1A plicant, VandenBoom got a majority nod. The board then voted unanimously to appoint him. “I was a little bit shocked because there were so many (applicants) who had a lot of experience in different school districts, including our own,� VandenBoom said. “It was definitely a pleasant surprise.� VandenBoom has his own wealth of experience as a parent volunteer. He joined the site council of Rahn Elementary in Eagan in 1997 and has represented

ficult time, and I am very grateful to those who paved the way for me,� she said. The best part of being a pastor, Capel said, is it enables her to share good news in times of sorrow. “I like that I’m able to bring people on a journey from sadness to hope,� she said. Though the job comes

with many rewards, it also has its challenges, Capel said. Overcoming misconceptions about the institution is often the most difficult, she said. All too often younger generations perceive the church as something for their grandparents, thinking its strict rules don’t offer anything for them.

“We want to find ways to make a difference,� she said. “It’s not just about laws. It’s about helping people.� Overseeing Easter’s evergrowing congregation presents its own obstacles. Easter Lutheran Church has a two-site ministry with 4,785 baptized members, which makes it among the 15 largest congregations in

the ELCA. Although it’s a tall order, Capel said she is up for the task. Though the church’s leadership will change, its mission will remain largely same, Capel said. In fulfilling her predecessor’s mission, Capel said she hopes to “continue to push Easter out of the walls of the church and into the com-

munity.� She said she also hopes to help the congregation fulfill its dream of hosting a community meal. Capel will be installed as Easter’s lead pastor Sept. 18. A retirement party will be held Oct. 8 for Borgschatz.

Rahn on the districtwide site council. VandenBoom has served on the district’s Instruction and Curriculum Advisory Council and Community Education Advisory Council. He was recruited by administrators to participate in the interview process for the hiring of a new communications specialist in 2005. VandenBoom was also recruited to participate in a safe-schools workshop review of district policies and practices on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues.

And, he served on the district’s 2009 Facilities Task Force, whose recommendations included the Burnsville High School renovations now underway. VandenBoom and his wife, Nora, have a son, Tom, who graduated from BHS in 2009; a daughter, Laura, a 2011 BHS grad; and another daughter, Julia, entering 10th grade this fall. He thinks district staffers could do more to involve parents in their children’s education. They set high expectations in school, VandenBoom said.

“But once they step outside those boundaries, they feel very timid or reluctant to say to parents, ‘We need your help,’ � he added. “To me, it’s about setting expectations, and simply asking. The reason I got involved 15 years ago in the school was really simple: I had someone asking me if I was interested and to get involved. If people stop asking, I think that’s a mistake.� At The Toro Co., VandenBoom is responsible for marketing communications to help sell turf maintenance equipment.

Marketing is also important in a district where most of the families no longer have children in school and immigrant families are still learning their surroundings, VandenBoom said. “I’m not trying to send a message to the district that they don’t do a good job already of communicating,� he said. But the “vast majority� of communications seem directed at the minority of district families who have children in school, VandenBoom said. Meanwhile, he said, the district may be fighting an

image problem — an issue VandenBoom said he raised during public interviews of board applicants on Aug. 4. “In my view, there’s a changing perception of the district, that it’s not maybe as good as neighboring districts,� he said, describing the perception as a “communication problem.� He’ll be sworn into office on Sept. 1. VandenBoom said it’s too early to say whether he’ll run for election once his term expires.
