School may have to restructure after missing AYP for fifth year

A fire at the Cherokee Sirloin Room in Eagan caused severe damage to the exterior of the barn-like structure.

District 191 officials defend Vista View, whose sanction could be softened by No Child waiver by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Vista View Elementary School in Burnsville could face a top-to-bottom restructuring next year after five straight years of not making “adequate yearly progress� under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Vista View is the first school in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191 to reach this stage

of NCLB sanctions. The law requires the district to prepare a restructuring plan for Vista View that could include replacing all or most of the staff, including the principal; reopening it as a charter school; or turning school operations over to the state or a private company. The new structure would take effect next school year. However, Minnesota is seek-

ing a waiver from NCLB mandates. The Obama administration has invited districts to apply for waivers amid talk in Washington, D.C., of rewriting NCLB, which requires all schools receiving federal Title 1 funds to reach full “proficiency� on state tests by 2014. It’s yet unclear how much relief Vista View would get from the restructuring edict even if See District 191, 14A

Cherokee Sirloin Room to reopen, owner says For the record, commissioner Improperly discarded cigarettes to blame for blaze by Jessica Harper and Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The owners of Cherokee Sirloin Room say they plan to rebuild after a fire severely damaged the Eagan restaurant early Sunday morning. “We hope to be open in four to six weeks,� said co-owner Rick Casper. “It may be the restaurant that opens first with the bar to follow.� The barn-like structure on 4625 Nicols Road became engulfed by flames Oct. 9 after an improperly discarded cigarette started a fire on the deck. A passerby called 911 at about 5:45 a.m. to report the fire, which severely burned the building’s exterior, according to a release by the Eagan Fire Department. Though the interior was mostly damaged by smoke and water, the fire melted several televisions and charred much of the building’s woodwork. Casper said it’s too soon to put a dollar figure on the damage. “The insurance adjuster is out there now,� he said on Monday. No injuries were reported as the business was not occupied at the time of the fire. It was reported that Cherokee bar

Complex that was big trouble is now getting the big makeover New owners invest in the former Charleswood Apartments by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Burnsville apartment complex once known for pest infestations and allegedly disreputable owners is making a multimilliondollar turnaround. The old Charleswood Apartments on County Road 5 south of Highway 13 has been purchased and renamed by Pine Ridge Capital, a firm specializing in turning around distressed real estate and other assets. Pine Ridge purchased the mortgage in April after the fivebuilding, 114-unit complex had

lapsed into receivership. Now called River Ridge Apartment Homes, the complex at 12901 County Road 5 is getting a unitby-unit makeover. Rents are also higher. The previous owners, landlord brothers Hyder Jaweed and Asgher Ali, built a notorious reputation in the Twin Cities, including Burnsville, where police and the building inspector kept an extensive file on pest problems and code violations. The Photos by John Gessner brothers’ problem properties were the subject of a three-part River Ridge Apartment Homes is the new name given to the former Charleswood complex. See River Ridge, 4A

Eagan teen charged in burglary, assault of home’s occupant by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

An Eagan teen faces numerous felony charges in connection with several home break-ins and an assault of a teenage girl. William Donald Maloney, 17, was charged by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office Oct. 11 with attempted criminal sexual conduct, a felony, and two felony counts of burglary for allegedly breaking into an Eagan home and assaulting a girl

who lived there. County Attorney Jim Backstrom is seeking to charge Maloney as an adult, according to a release by his office. According to Eagan Police, Maloney broke into a home on the 4200 block of Valley Forge Place at around 2 a.m. on Oct. 8. Police say they are unclear how he entered the home. Once inside, Maloney entered the bedroom of a

17-year-old girl who police believe he may have known. At some point, the girl awoke, saw him in the room and screamed. Maloney, who was dressed in dark colors and a ski mask, allegedly placed his hands over her mouth and neck to try to silence her. The girl then scratched him in an effort to create a wound which would make him easily identifiable, police say.

After being scratched, Maloney ran out of the house. The girl’s parents and juvenile brother were asleep in the home during the incident, police say. The family called police, whose investigation led them to Maloney. Police say Maloney had marks on his neck consistent with being scratched, and eventually confessed to the break-in. Maloney was arrested on

Oct. 10. Police believe he may be responsible for at least four other incidents involving window peeping, burglary and criminal damage to property throughout the past year. In addition to the charges related to the recent break-in, Maloney was charged with second degree burglary, a felony, in connection to a break-in of another Eagan home on June 20, 2010.

He also faces three counts of interference with privacy, a gross misdemeanor, for allegedly peeping through windows of both aforementioned homes as well as a third Eagan home. Maloney is being held at the Dakota County Juvenile Detention Center in Hasting, and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 25. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Giving back one pint at a time Red Cross: Culver’s goes above and beyond to help reach the goal by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The dollar isn’t the only form of currency accepted at Culver’s in Eagan. The fast-food restaurant also accepts blood donations. For nearly five years, franchisees Gloria and Clint Racine have gone out of their way to encourage Eagan residents to donate blood to the Red Cross. “My father always said it’s important to do things in your community because it’s a win-win,� Gloria said. The couple have a habit of going above and beyond to help the Red Cross meet its goal of collecting 25 pints of blood, said Mike Fries, blood service representative for the Red Cross.

Not only do they sponsor three to four blood drives each year, but they will take on more if someone backs out at the last minute, he said. “They’re always willing to take tough days – like around the holidays,� he said. “...and are always willing to take any open dates we have.� The next blood drive at Culver’s will be Dec. 22. In addition to sponsoring blood drives at their restaurant, the couple give deals to people to donate at other Red Cross drives. Their most popular promotion is “A Pint for a Pint,� which provides coupons for a free pint of Culver’s frozen custard to Red Cross blood donors. Between 400 and 800 coupons are donated to the Red Cross each month. Fries said he has noticed Eagan donors look forward to the coupons. “Most would donate anyhow but like that they get a thank you,� he said. The couple opened the Eagan Culver’s nine years ago, and within a few years felt they needed to become more active in the commu-

Clint said he heard Eagan had a high participation rate in blood drives, and was interested in joining the effort. The couple’s generosity doesn’t end at the Red Cross, though. Each year they host dinners and other events to raise money for local schools and youth groups. With each one, 10 percent of the restaurant’s proceeds are donated to the cause. One fundraiser sent a local youth group to Chicago to work with inner-city teens. “It’s a win-win,� Gloria said. “We get extra customers and they get money to

do what they want when school budgets are so much tighter.� Though the couple reach out to the Eagan community through Culver’s they said it’s difficult to find time to volunteer in their hometown of St. Paul. The restaurant consumes much of their time since Clint works seven days a week and Gloria six. “It was Clint’s idea of retirement,� she said. “It doesn’t feel like retirement – but we love it.� More information on Red Cross blood drives can be found at www.redcross. org.

River Ridge/from 1A Pioneer Press newspaper series earlier this year. “These guys owned several hundred units throughout the metro area,� said Jon Taxdahl, who is partners with Mark Guidinger in Pine Ridge Capital. “For the most part, over the last three years, each of their apartment communities has gone back to the lender.�

In the case of Charleswood, a court-appointed receiver was named in June 2010, Taxdahl said. The receiver, property manager Laramar Group LLC, now manages the property for Pine Ridge. The brothers eventually quit paying their bills at Charleswood, said police Sgt. Chris Wicklund, head of the police Community Resources/Multihousing

Unit. After a foreclosure process, Pine Ridge acquired the title in June, Taxdahl said. “This is a perfect example of what we do,� Taxdahl said. “We try to buy something that’s very distressed and fix it up and turn it into a gem of an asset.� In the case of Charleswood, that takes some doing. Reports of bedbugs were

ďż˝ ďż˝

noted not only by tenants, but by school nurses who saw bites on local children, according to documentation collected by the city. A December 2008 letter from a Dakota County environmental specialist to the owners cited “numerous complaints� from Charleswood residents. The specialist declared the complex in violation of city code and of state law requiring property owners to fix public health nuisances. The county’s Community Development Agency withheld Section 8 payments for six units it subsidized there. The city charged the owners with maintenance code violations, to which they pleaded innocence in Dakota County District Court. In the spring of 2009 the city issued deadlines for work to be done. When Laramar took over management of Charleswood, it hired a professional pest compa-

ny to heat-treat the units, said Becky Bornstein, community manager of River Ridge and the former assistant manager at the Atrium Apartments in Burnsville, another Laramar property. All the units are being gutted and getting new finishes and appliances. “There’s nothing original that would leave the bedbugs here,� Bornstein said. Everything from cabinetry and baseboards to laminated wood flooring is new, she said. The “multimillion-dollar rehabilitation project� covers “just about every aspect of the property,� including boilers, roofs, windows and the previously out-of-code swimming pool, Taxdahl said. The kitchens will all have stainless steel fixtures and granite countertops. The old brown exterior siding on the mostly brick buildings is being replaced with beige siding.

Police have “nothing but praises and compliments about the new owners and the new management company,� Wicklund said. Few of the previous owners’ tenants remain. The property was less than 50 percent occupied when Pine Ridge bought it, Taxdahl said. Now, with renovation underway, occupancy is down to about 30 percent, Bornstein said. “It’s priced differently from what was here, and a lot of (past tenants) simply can’t afford it,� Taxdahl said. “Most have made the choice to find less expensive housing.� According to Bornstein, monthly rents have gone from $525 to $775 for onebedroom units, from $650$700 to $875 or more for two-bedroom units, and from $850 to $1,050 for three-bedroom units.

“The Eagan and Burnsville fire departments did an outstanding job,� Casper said. “We’re very thankful for that.� The Cherokee Sirloin Room has been a part of the community for more than four decades. The restaurant’s roots sprawl to West St. Paul where the first Cherokee Sirloin Room stands. The establishment — called Cherokee Tavern at the time — was purchased in 1970 by Rick’s parents, Bob and Dorothy Casper. The couple renamed it Casper’s Cherokee Sirloin Room and turned it into a small neighborhood bar and grill. The couple sold the restaurant in 1987 to Rick and his brother, Jim. In 1991, a second restaurant was opened in Eagan.

Opinion ECM Editorial Vote ‘yes’ for the right reasons in operating levy elections Looming ahead for 113 school districts in Minnesota, including Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191, are operating levy elections on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Their approval will be critical for the education of Minnesota K-12 students. Where these once were known as excess or extra levies, they now are being called by some “survival levies.� Half of these elections are on the question of renewing existing levies, meaning all things being equal, approval will not increase property taxes. That is the case in District 191. One notable election is in the state’s largest school system, Anoka-Hennepin, where voters will be asked to vote to renew $48 million. If the measure fails, school officials say up to 500 teachers could lose their jobs.

The Minnesota Constitution requires the state to provide a “uniform system of public schools through taxation or other means� for every child. Since 2003, adjusting for inflation, the Minnesota Legislature has not increased per-pupil funding. While the Legislature did not increase taxes at the state level last session, it is content with raising the money at the local property tax level, and some are bold enough to campaign against the only lifeline school districts have. It is true that the Legislature is granting $50 more per pupil this year and next, but that money is intended to help districts pay costs of loans needed because the state has delayed paying $2.1 billion to school districts to balance the state budget.

The Legislature, to its credit, did not cut K-12 education funding. School districts no longer have federal stimulus money that kept teachers teaching. The greatest loss and the most damage to a child’s education will be the loss of teachers. During the last three years, 1,267 licensed and 1,028 non-licensed staffers have been laid off in metropolitan-area school districts, according to the Association of Metropolitan School Districts. Loss of teachers increases class sizes, and while some may differ, most experts say class size matters, particularly in the early grades. Minnesota’s average high school class size is 25.5, ranking the state 45th in the country. It has an average of 27.3 in the el-

ementary grades, ranking it 49th. During the past several years, school boards have eliminated many of the special classes, particularly in the arts, foreign languages and for the gifted. Students are walking longer distances and paying hundreds of dollars to compete in athletics and take part in the school play. School boards even are allowing advertising on student lockers and athletic fields. Faced with a loss of funds, school boards have little choice but to cut teachers, with the younger, first-year teachers being the first to go. In most communities, there is a hard-core “no� vote – primarily those who cannot afford a property tax increase. Residents who are tempted to vote against renewing existing

levies or approving new operating levies should analyze their reasons. Don’t vote “no� because you have a gripe with the district, because you think there are too many administrators, or because you’ve seen some money wasted. The time for voting on those issues is election of the school board. Vote “yes� for the right reason – to enable all students to reach their potential to compete in a competitive world during challenging times. Having a quality teacher is their best guarantee of reaching that goal. This editorial is a product of the ECM Editorial Board.

a contrast from the stuffiness of Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis of which I was a past season ticket holder. Even the parking is easy, convenient, and no cost. I was long overdue to attend the Burnsville Performing Arts Center to hear the Dakota Valley Symphony, but finally this year I became a season ticket holder. I felt proud of Burnsville and its performance art center to host such a talented group of people who gather to practice for their performances. These musicians are led enthusiastically by their conductor, Steve Ramsey, who is my neighbor and I enjoyed tremendously. He

discussed each piece in a way that helped you understand it or the composer a little bit better. The selection of music was superb, varied and entertaining. My neighbor, Jean, age 93, who accompanied me, is a former violinist herself and a graduate of Julliard in New York. She thought the music was great and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

Volunteer opportunities for seniors abound by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two forces are at work in Dakota County that are resulting in unprecedented opportunities for seniors to volunteer in the community. Those 65 and over has grown from 9 percent of the county’s population in 2010 to 14 percent in 2020. That’s a projected increase from 38,000 to 67,800. With increasing numbers of seniors living longer and more active lives, they find themselves as prime community volunteers. And as the weak economy places increased demands on nonprofits through more clients seeking services while donations have generally slipped, a wave of volunteers is needed to fill the gap. A 2004 study by Points of Light Foundation said the wave of retirees (most of them Baby Boomers) has an “unprecedented level of education, skills, and resources.� The study said it is important for nonprofits to create volunteer opportunities “that add meaning and substance to this new phase of adults’ lives while simultaneously building the capacity of community based agencies to solve serious social problems.� National studies have shown that this generation of volunteers is becoming more personal and secular in their efforts. They also are less likely to join an organization. In addition to seniors providing needed community service, it turns out that the “work� is good for one’s health. A 2007 report from the Corporation for National and Community Service found that “volunteering leads to better health and that older volunteers are the most likely to receive physical and

Volunteer resources

One of the many ways that seniors can volunteer in the community is for activities like this food distribution event Tuesday, Sept. 27, at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville. Prince of Peace was one of three Twin Cities sites for a Salvation Army food distribution made possible by a gift from international charity Feed the Children. mental health benefits from their volunteer activities.� There are so many volunteer opportunities in Dakota County, it would be impossible to list them all here, but this can at least give people a start. Dakota County’s website has information about local food shelves, including three of the better known organizations running them locally – 360 Communities, the Eagan Resource Center and CAP Agency. Contact information for those organizations and others that operate food shelves and offer community meals is at www.co.dakota.mn.us/ HealthFamily/CaringFor/ PersFinance/FoodResources. htm. Dakota County government departments also have volunteer opportunities that are listed on the website at

www.co.dakota.mn.us/Jobs (click on Volunteer and Internship Opportunities). They include Citizen Advisory Committees, Library Adopt-A-Shelf Program, Parks V.I.P. (Volunteer In Parks) Program and much more. DARTS is another countywide organization that has a wide range of volunteer opportunities. People can assist an older adult with shopping and errands, mentor an elementary school student as a Learning Buddy, provide office support and much more. More can be found at www.darts1.org. Schools, cities, community festivals and events and a host of other nonprofits seek volunteers to fill a wide range of roles. The opportunities can be as wide ranging as offering to

help out at the Lewis House – a shelter for women and children – to Dakota City Heritage Village – a 1900s era historic town at the Dakota County Fairgrounds. For those still struggling for an idea, the Minnesota Senior Corps can help find one’s calling. The corps offers programs in senior companionship, foster grandparenting and other opportunities. For more information, see the website www.mnseniorcorps.org. Minnesota Seniors Online has a host of links on its website that can connect seniors to volunteer opportunities.

this set a cappella.’ � Encouraged by the positive response, he began doing standup once a month at the coffee shop, and that summer performed for the first time at a professional comedy club, the Joke Joint in Bloomington. He now regularly emcees shows at MinneHaHa Comedy Club in Shakopee. Drawing material from his college days and his experience as a teacher, Adams brings an easy, conversational style to jokes he’s crafted about Facebook, weddings, Pokemon cards and the video game Oregon Trail. “He’s very natural on stage – you can tell he’s used to talking in front of people, and that’s probably from teaching,� said Mike Orensteen, owner of MinneHaHa Comedy Club. Because he’s a teacher, Adams knows he has to keep his material squeaky clean during club performances. “I’m very careful about that because I know I could have parents or administrators in the crowd when I perform,� he said. “I don’t swear much, if at all.� And if he’s looking for honest feedback about his comedy, Adams needs look no further than his students. In class, “I’ll throw off some really terrible puns, and usually they just tell me I’m not funny and they can’t believe I’m a comic,� he said with a laugh.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Chris Adams was doing comedy long before he ever grabbed a mic and stepped on stage. The 24-year-old Apple Valley native admits he was somewhat of a class clown back when he was a student at Falcon Ridge Middle School and Eastview High School. “I was always looking for a way to be the center of attention,� he said. “I never got into too much trouble in school, but I definitely got on a lot of teachers’ nerves.� Drawing laughter in the classroom is still a staple of Adams’ day. But now he gets to stand at the front of the room. A school teacher who sidelines on weekends as a standup comic, he finds ample opportunity to share his sense of humor with students. “For me, it’s hard not to incorporate it,� said Adams, a substitute teacher in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. “If I have to do a lecture for an entire period, I know it’s death for the kids. But it’s definitely a different brand of humor than what I use on stage – you have to make very safe kinds of jokes.� Adams, who’d been entertaining friends and family since childhood with bits he’d cribbed from old Bill Cosby routines, started formally doing standup as an undergraduate at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minn. Inspired by a performance by comic Dane Cook at Target Center his junior year, he decided to take the plunge at a campus coffee shop’s openmic event. Oddly enough, it was an open mic for musicians. “Everybody was kind of looking at me funny because, obviously, I didn’t have an instrument,� he recounted. “I said, ‘I’m going to be doing

Eastview free wrestling clinics in October Eastview will host free wrestling clinics directed by varsity head coach Kurt Habeck and his staff in October for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The clinic is scheduled from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Oct. 18, Oct. 24, Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 with a Wrestle Mania

Event to wrap up the series on Oct. 27. There’s no cost for students in District 196. Participant will receive a T-shirt and daily treats. They’ll be taught the basics of wrestling, and grouped by age, weight, and ability. It’s limited to

the first 120 participants. EVAA wrestling sign-ups taken at clinic. The deadline for registration is Oct. 13. Walk-in sign ups available. To register contact Travis Lee at (651) 683-6969 ext. 98623 or e-mail at travis. lee@district196.org.

ready to pack it in by any means. “Our guys believe in them,” Krebs said. “They’ll be ready to go.” While defeating Eastview might have been refreshing for Krebs, who was a long time assistant for the Lightning, the focus was on the fact Eastview is in Burnsville’s section . “We talked during the week it wasn’t about me,” Krebs said. “If things play out it gives us a chance to have a home game. We’re focused on championships. We want to have a home game.” The Blaze also defeated section rival Bloomington Kennedy this season. The losses have come against section foes Jefferson, Rosemount and Prior Lake along with conference rival Lakeville North. The only game that got away from Burnsville was against Rosemount. “It felt good to finally win a close game (against Eastview)” offensive linemen Chase Roullier said. “We lost like three games by eight points ... If you look at the section right now we could be seeded No. 3. We have a good chance at playing a home game and going pretty deep in the playoffs.” Burnsville will travel to another conference team, Eagan, which, is also 2-4, on Friday before closing out the season with a home game against Lakeville South, which is 5-1. “We can’t win the conference championship anymore, but the next focus is the section,” Krebs said. “We feel we can compete with teams. If we keep getting better. “This group of guys haven’t won a lot of games. We feel like we had games where a play or two would have made a difference. Our goal is to always play the best football at the end of the season and we are now. That’s exciting.”

Burnsville’s comefrom-behind victory over the Eastview football team on Friday came with a price. The last Burnsville win over Eastview was in 2006, but on Friday Burnsville jumped out an early 15-0 lead. However, things turned sour in the third quarter for the Blaze as the Lightning rallied to a 29-15 lead. “We knew we still could win based on how we started the game,” defensive back Michael Callanan said. “We had a positive attitude and just kept fighting.” In the fourth quarter, quarterback Dan Motl had touchdown runs of 5 and 1 yards, connected with Jalen Dyson for a 43yard winning touchdown and kicked three extra points, all while bleeding internally. In the third quarter, quarterback Motl was hit during a punt and landed on his back. “It was one of those fluke things,” Burnsville head coach Tyler Krebs said. “He was in pain. Sat out a few plays and went out and finished the game.” Following the game, he celebrated with friends, yet the pain never went away. A CT scan revealed a lacerated kidney. The longterm prognosis is good, but short term is that he’s done for the season. The trouble is Motl wasn’t just a quarterback. He played cornerback, punter, kicker, kick returner and punt returner. “The other guys are excited to step up,” Krebs said. “But obviously it’s going to be tough to replace. He’s a pretty special athlete.” Junior Ben Baker will take his place behind center. He’s thrown a few passes this season and sophomore Will Reger, who played receiver and defensive back, is taking Rogers is at repetitions as a backup.

Eastview falling short against top-ranked teams by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The young Eastview volleyball team can’t seem to catch a break. The Lightning may be a .500 team this year, but all of their losses have been to ranked teams in either Class AAA, AA or A. On Tuesday, they added Class AAA No. 2 Lakeville South to their list of

losses. The match started promisingly for Eastview, which won the first game 25-17, but the Cougars bounced back to win 3-1. “I think we got back on their heels a little bit when (South’s) big hitters came up, but it’s not going to change,” coach Becky Egan said. “We can’t let up like that. When you’re playing against players like

that you can’t sit back and wait. Egan talked of playing with that championship mentality. Facing a seniorheavy lineup like South, she didn’t want to see her team back down. “You just have to go, just go,” Egan said. “And keep going. We have to play like athletes. We don’t have the high caliber

team for the talent to take over. We have to take it to them.” The Lightning will get the chance to attack this weekend during their own invitational tournament. Winning the Eastview tournament would be quite the accomplishment considering the competition with No. 1 Blaine, No. 3 Bloomington Jefferson,

No. 6 Shakopee and No. 8 Eden Prairie all competing. “We’re looking at getting even more top level teams in there so the teams keep getting better every year,” Egan said. “We should have some really good games this weekend.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Proper fan participation integral to the soccer experience by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE

Soccer is not a game to watch while sitting on your hands. There’s a reason it’s the most watched sport in the world. The soccer section playoffs are underway and with top-level soccer teams in the south metro, I feel like there’s potential for proper fans. After a big win for the Eastview boys team earlier this season, coaches and players praised the fan support. Fans were singing, chanting and acting like soccer fools (in a good way). Why? Because it’s fun. Professional teams often have independent fan clubs that hold meetings, design scarves, rewrite lyrics to fit their team, and freak out

during a goal. One of the rings in my circle of friends is part of the Dark Clouds, the fan club for the NCS Minnesota Stars in Blaine. They have about as much fun someone my age should be having on a random Tuesday. “One thing definitely remains the same the world over, the fans are there to make their own fun and a ton of noise,” Dark Clouds board member Jesse Erdmann said. “Unlike American sports atmospheres which often rely on music pumped in over giant speakers and announcer

directed cheers, soccer fans make their own noise. “With the Dark Clouds we blend the English tradition of singing songs throughout the match with the Latin American tradition of playing music on whatever instruments come to hand.” In his experience getting your own fan culture started is an organic process, but it does require persistence and commitment. Start early by singing the National Anthem and don’t stop. Other key moments for songs include corner kicks, penalty kicks, yellow cards, mascots praises or to serenade your favorite player. “For our favorite Italian player, Simone Bracallelo, we made up new lyrics to ‘That’s Amore’ titled

“That’s Simone,’” Erdmann said. “Singing player specific songs to the tune of well known songs is a great way to form your own unique culture. “Most important is to be creative and be supportive of the creative efforts of others in your group.” It’s inevitable fans will eventually pick on the opponents. This is when the insults and bad language can creep in, making it less family friendly than most athletic directors prefer. “Often times athletes are able to tune out the common insults and bad language,” Erdmann said. “Rather than trying to make them mad, try to make them laugh.” A simple “pull up your socks,” or “no one’s listening to you” toward a whiner

can affect play. “We enjoy hanging out with players from both teams after the game so we try not to offend anyone,” Erdmann said. “Above all, beg, steal or borrow from wherever you find inspiration.” If you still need some ideas and if your favorite team goes to state, there’s a chance the Stars will play in the league finals. If the Stars win Saturday in Carolina, it will have a home game on either Oct. 22 or Oct. 29. To find out who goes to state, the section soccer finals are scheduled for Tuesday. The results from Thursday’s semifinals games were unavailable at presstime. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Fun Foods Catering reinvents itself Longtime local businesswoman says she needs to rebuild and start over by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After leaving its previous location in St. Paul, longtime local business Fun Foods Catering is reinventing itself. Eagan resident Doris LaMott Hoel, who has operated the business since 1989, is still doing full-service, customized catering and can also be hired as an inhome chef. This summer, she sent hundreds of fliers describing her offerings to former clients of Fun Foods and

Chateau Lamothe, a Burnsville restaurant she used to run with her husband, David Hoel. As part of her new offering, LaMott Hoel can be hired for in-home parties, intimate dinners, cooking classes, or preparing foods for people with special dietary concerns. The additional direction came after she left the Neighborhood House community center in St. Paul in May following a change in management that led to a proposed new operating ar-

rangement in February, according to LaMott Hoel. The new direction also came after she and her husband filed for personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After Thisweek made unsuccessful attempts to contact LaMott Hoel and ran a story about the bankruptcy, she met with the newspaper and said she needed to rebuild and start over. Filing for bankruptcy was difficult for her because she said she had never been late with a payment in her life.

She stressed that this was a personal bankruptcy and Fun Foods Catering is continuing to operate and has hundreds upon hundreds of extremely happy and satisfied customers. She said she had received many phone calls and emails of support since the story ran. In order to emerge from her rough patch, she said, you have to have incredible faith in friends and family. As for the full-service catering side of the business, she says no event is too small or too big for her

company to cater. She is working in cooperation with a host of venues for larger events, such as the Burnsville Performing Arts Center, Rosemount Community Center, Rosemount Steeple Center, Bell Museum of History and the Klub Haus in St. Paul. She employs an on-call staff for larger events and also has a kitchen in St. Louis Park she can rent for such occasions. Hoel was named the first class of Exceptional Businesswomen in 2010 by the

Dakota County Tribune Business Weekly. Her restaurant also was named to Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine’s best wine bar and wine list in 2009. For more information about Fun Foods Catering, go online to www.cateringisgood.com, email LaMott Hoel at FunFoodsCatering@gmail.com or call (651) 247-6785.

certain staff members or introducing a new curriculum. Under NCLB rules, families at Vista View, Neill and Sky Oaks are already eligible for free transportation to another public school in the district that has made AYP and for supplemental services such as tutoring. Those edicts kick in after two and three years of not making AYP. Also among the district’s 10 elementary schools, Sioux Trail will have to offer school choice and Hidden Valley will have to offer supplemental services. The latest AYP results, released by the state Sept. 30, are based on Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment tests in reading and math that students in grades three through six took last spring, during the previous school year.

District 191/from 1A the state gets its waiver, said Chris Lindholm, District 191’s assistant superintendent for teaching and learning. What is certain is that more and more state schools will reach that stage if Minnesota isn’t granted relief from NCLB mandates, he said. He and Vista View Principal Susan Risius vigorously defended the school, which narrowly missed AYP last year when only one student subgroup – special education students – failed to reach proficiency in reading. “It’s worth pondering, when you have a school that’s gaining great momentum, increasing student achievement, doing a lot of the right things, why you would start to threaten to reorg staff,� Lindholm said. Two other district schools – Edward Neill and Sky Oaks elementaries – reached the “corrective action� stage this year. Schools at this stage have missed AYP for four years and would have to take measures such as replacing

Vista View After Vista View nearly made AYP in 2010-11, its latest test results show the school not meeting proficiency in four groups: all students in reading, Asian students in reading, free and subsidized lunch students in

reading and special education students in math. “In every one of those, we just barely missed the mark,� Risius said. The bar gets higher every year en route to 2014, with a greater number of students required to meet proficiency on the state tests, Risius said. She pointed to successes in the latest results, including black, Hispanic and limited-English students making AYP in both reading and math. About half of Vista View’s students are minority, and about half qualify for free or subsidized lunch. “Three years ago, we had six subgroups� not making AYP, she said. “Last year we only had one. Now we had four.� Risius takes solace in the conciliatory words of state Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius, who in a letter to parents acknowledged longtime concerns that NCLB “unfairly labels schools based on a single test given once per year, and the percentage of students in the school who pass the test.� Risius, in her sixth year

at Vista View, said a restructured school wouldn’t guarantee sudden improvement in test scores. While the waiver matter is being sorted out, she said she doesn’t want her staff dwelling on AYP sanctions. “I am proud of every one of those teachers and how hard they work every single day to help our children,� Risius said. Factors affecting the latest test results include a new math test that resulted in lower scores statewide and the ever-higher percentage of students who must reach proficiency, Lindholm said. “And the third factor, which is true every year in every school, is your student population shifts,� said Lindholm, who praised Risius’ efforts. “She has had her school literally mapping every single student at Vista View in each subject area tied to AYP and has her teachers assigned to very deliberate, collaborative teams to move the needle on every single student,� he said. “It is a classic example of some of the restructuring we’re doing districtwide.� His advice to Vista View is to “stay the course.� “Tenaciously pursue those things we know work, and the scores will take care of themselves,� Lindholm said.

The program was founded by Dr. Jerry Weast to help school systems graduate students who are prepared to thrive in college and in careers. Weast has been at the “forefront of education transformation for the past 35 years,� according to a district handout.

After pleading guilty on Oct. 7 to intentional second-degree murder, a 28-year-old Burnsville man is claiming he wasn’t sane during the July 12, 2010, shooting of a 22-year-old Apple Valley man in Rosemount. Jonas Grice’s defense was introduced when his trial opened Tuesday in Dakota County District Court before Judge Karen Asphaug, according to multiple news media reports. Grice was originally charged with first-degree murder after he fatally shot Anthony Hartman at the Car Spa. That charge has been dropped. Asphaug will decide if Grice will be sentenced to prison or, if she agrees with the mental health defense, he would be sentenced to a state mental health facility, according to media reports.

The closure is due to continued construction of a new MnPASS Express Lane. Weather permitting, southbound I-35W will reopen to traffic by 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 17. To bypass the closure, motorists are advised to follow the posted detour: eastbound Highway 13 to southbound Highway 77 to southbound I-35E to southbound I-35.
