District 191 seeks levy renewal No new taxes in Tuesday’s $10 million ballot measure by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 isn’t alone in asking voters to renew an existing referendum levy this year. Just over half of the 113 Minnesota districts with operating-levy questions on the ballot Nov. 8 are seeking renewals, not new money, said Greg Abbott, spokesman for the Minnesota School Boards Association. Last year, renewals passed in all 17 districts that sought them, Abbott said. “And they passed by a pretty good margin,” he said, characterizing a vote that doesn’t raise taxes as “an easy ‘yes’ vote to give.” District 191 is seeking renewal of about $10 million in levy authority first approved by voters in November 2002, according to Lisa Rider, business services director. The levy is set to expire in 2013. Many Minnesota districts won voter approval for new levies a decade ago, resulting in the rush of renewals this year, Abbott said. State law limits voter-approved school operating levies to 10 years, he said. District 191 is seeking $845 per pupil. The 2002 levy amount was $837; Rider

attributed the slight change to actions of the state Legislature, not the local School Board. Officials have reason for optimism on Election Day, especially with a recent opinion survey suggesting most residents back the renewal. Voter rejection would force “very devastating” budget cuts, School Board Chair Ron Hill said. The loss of funds would equal 9 percent of the district’s current general fund budget of $110,519,000. “It would be a difficult conversation for the community to have if we were to lose this money,” he said. “But that’s where we would go – we’d go right out to them. I don’t think that’s the direction they want to head in. I believe they’re going to be totally supportive of what’s currently going on in the school district and recognize the need to maintain it.” The levy will be decided by a relatively small number of voters. It’s an odd-year election with no state or national races on the Nov. 8 ballot. The only other contests on the ballot within District 191 are city elections in Savage. “It’s hard to attract atSee District 191, 8A

With 25-inch guns, Philip Breecher of Burnsville is featured in a Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” syndicated cartoon labeled “World’s Biggest Biceps!” The cartoon goes on to explain they’re natural. Breecher notes that Greg Valentino of New York, considered the world record holder, has bigger biceps enhanced by steroids.

No drugs, mostly muscle Burnsville man lays claim to world’s biggest natural biceps by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The case is closed, says Philip Breecher of Burnsville: His are the world’s biggest natural biceps. Breecher says he’s no juicer and can’t compete with bodybuilders on steroids. So his 25-inch guns — which Breecher says have room to grow — are unlikely to ever match the 28plus of New York’s Greg Valentino, an Internet sensation proclaimed by eBicep.com as the unofficial

world record holder and an admitted steroid user. Breecher is just a 50-year-old ex-wrestler and lifelong bodybuilder with a clean conscience and a biggest-biceps dream that refused to die. “It was an obsession, probably too much, I’d say probably since the ’80s,” said Breecher, a longtime Burnsville resident who attended Burnsville High School and lives with his mother, Caryl. His claim is buttressed by Ripley’s “Believe It or

Eagan teen admits to peeping, repeat break-ins and assault by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A 17-year-old Eagan boy admitted to police he started his crime spree by peeping in teenage girls’ windows. But this soon escalated into home break-ins and an assault of a teenage girl, prosecutors say. William Donald Maloney, 17, received three new felony charges Oct. 20 by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office, which brings the total to eight. Since his arrest Oct. 10, Maloney has been charged with second-degree burglary, harassment,

first-degree attempted burglary, fourth-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct, two counts of stalking and two counts of firstdegree burglary, one of which includes criminal sexual predatory conduct. Maloney has been charged as a juvenile but Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom is seeking to charge him as an adult. According to the criminal complaint: Maloney admitted to breaking into several Eagan homes and peeping in windows. Maloney told police he began

peeping in teenage girls’ windows in June and July 2010. It didn’t stop there. He broke into three Eagan homes to steal underwear belonging to teenage girls. Police found several pairs of girls’ underwear during a search of his bedroom. Maloney’s crimes further escalated on Oct. 8 when he broke into a home on the 4200 block of Valley Forge Place. Maloney entered the home through an unlocked door, and once inside, he snuck into the bedSee Maloney, 8A

The Mezz aims higher than the usual dinner with a movie Restaurant and lounge opened Oct. 28 at Burnsville theater by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dinner with a movie isn’t so novel anymore, as theaters try new customer enticements in their competition with expanding home-entertainment options. The Mezz Bistro Lounge, on the second floor of the Paragon Odyssey 15 showplex in Burnsville, is aiming for a higher distinction. “A lot of the different theater chains are doing different concepts that are similar to this,” said Robert Fronckoski, general manager of the theater and restaurant. “I think what sets us apart is we’re looking at it as a restaurant that has a

theater as an amenity.” The Mezz in Burnsville is the first for Florida-based Paragon. The company, less than 2 years old, plans to expand the concept to all of its five theaters in Florida, Virginia and Minnesota, including one in Rochester, Fronckoski said. Paragon bought the Burnsville theater in February after CineMagic Theatres of Maple Grove, the company that built it, filed for bankruptcy. CineMagic never built out the second-floor lounge and restaurant it promised when it opened. Paragon began the job in June and opened on Oct. 28. The look is simple but sumptuous, with a full bar, low lighting, a dining area with tables, a lounge with black-cushioned soft seating, and the Van Gogh See The Mezz, 8A

Stellar units are designed to deliver maximum decorative value even when the flame is on low and using fewer BTUs, Sloan said. Fireplaces, the company insists, are fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided when we started, we were going to be different,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stellar now offers two models of â&#x20AC;&#x153;linear,â&#x20AC;? flat-wall fireplaces. Next year it will introduce two corner units, a modern and a traditional. With triangular fireboxes that better fit corner spaces, the units consume less space from front to back than traditionally shaped corner fireplaces while also maintaining a larger viewing area, the company says. The units won two industry awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; known as the Vestas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in March at the Hearth, Patio and BBQ Association Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be just another me-too manufacturer,â&#x20AC;?

Lights out for Eagan restaurant

Thomas gets 4 years in shooting death

by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Joe Senserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant and Sports Theater in Eagan closed suddenly on Oct. 30. Shades cover the windows of the dark restaurant at 3010 Eagandale Place and a closed sign is taped to the doors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shocked and saddened by this,â&#x20AC;? said Gerry Goldfarb, manager of the Hampton Inn in Eagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very popular location with our guests.â&#x20AC;? Joe Senserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provided room service for the hotel, which is located nearby. Its closure has left Hampton staff scrambling to find other options for its guests, Goldfarb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that the current owner of the land or

the city of Eagan will find a new restaurant to go there,â&#x20AC;? he said. City Administrator Tom Hedges said he is confident a new restaurant will fill the empty building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both our Eagan convention and business bureau have been attempting to reach out to the owner of the property and offer help anyway they can,â&#x20AC;? Hedges said. The recent news took city officials by surprise as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not aware that they were even considering closing the restaurant,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe Senserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been a valued restaurant in Eagan for the past 13 years.â&#x20AC;? The sports bar and grill opened in 1998 and was among four Twin Cities locations owned by former Vikings player Joe Senser. It is unclear whether employees will be absorbed by

the Bloomington, Plymouth or Roseville locations. Mike Hrudka, director of operations for Joe Senserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, told the Star Tribune that the bar closed due to the tough economy. He also noted the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location requires many turns to get into its parking lot, according to the report. A sign on the building says gift cards can be redeemed at other Joe Senser locations. The closure follows recent criminal charges against Senserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. Amy Senser was charged with vehicular homicide in a hit-and-run incident that

The Sensers waited several days before coming forward and admitting that the family vehicle was involved in the incident. Authorities were not satisfied with their cooperation, according to recent reports.

Sharon LaComb sets an example for us all to follow by Bill Tschohl SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Communities thrive because of role models who provide examples for our children to follow and aspire to be. Sharon LaComb is one of those people, and I wanted to take the opportunity to commend her on the extensive volunteer work she has done in Dakota County and reflect on the many ways she has made a positive impact in our community. Sharon started her professional career as an English teacher and worked her way up to the position of vice president of Dakota County Technical College, where she just recently retired after 25 years. Just this past year, as execu-

tive director of the DCTC Foundation, she raised over $1 million for educational scholarships for students at DCTC. Her goal was to fund scholarships for â&#x20AC;&#x153;education for employmentâ&#x20AC;? to help students during this particularly difficult economic time. This fund will provide assistance for students years after Sharon has retired and is an amazing legacy for the community. Sharon has also dedicated herself to helping others obtain education outside of her work. As a past president of the Apple Valley Rotary she raised money for the community through dinners, car raffles and go-cart races and is always the first to volunteer to help with events that give

back directly to the community. She believes in â&#x20AC;&#x153;hands-onâ&#x20AC;? volunteering and dedicates her time to ensuring events are successful so that the greatest number of community members can benefit. During the past five months Sharon has helped spearhead the annual car raffle for the Apple Valley Rotary Scholarship Foundation. She helped organize the fundraiser together with Patrick Selchow and Clint Hooppaw netting the club over $33,000 to support the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charitable giving. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important than ever that communities have adults who give back. Sharon is one of those people and she has made our community a better place by engaging in so many aspects of

community. She has volunteered in the Community Action Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head Start program to ensure educational opportunities are available for even the youngest members of our community and has continued this volunteerism through the K-12 system as a mentor with the STRIVE program at the local high school. It would be difficult to find a community organization that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been made a better one by Sharon. The local YMCAs, chambers of commerce, Community Action Council, and even School District 196 have all benefited directly by her volunteerism on their many committees, groups and foundations. Additionally, she is a current officer on Dakota Future and served on the Apple Valley City Council.

Sharon is passionate about our community, education and helping others and has dedicated her entire professional career and personal life to it. I consider myself extremely fortunate to live and work in the same community as Sharon and know so many others who feel the same way. The legacy she has built is amazing and benefits she has directly provided for the educational community are indescribable. I am confident that Sharon will continue to be a leader in our community and, as in the past, continue to give of herself. Sharon serves as an example for us to follow. Bill Tschohl is an Apple Valley Rotary member.

Some tips about increasing family involvement in schools by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Professor Joyce Epstein has a number of startling, research-based views on family involvement. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to Minneapolis to share her ideas and suggestions in a free, public presentation on Nov. 10. Epstein, director of the Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships, is a fine speaker, and has been asked to share her research throughout the world. Here are several key things she has discovered: â&#x20AC;˘ The best predictor of family involvement in city schools is not the income, race, or marital status of the family. The best predictor of family involvement is what the school and educators do to promote it. She has lots of examples

of what schools can and are doing to encourage family involvement. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share some of this on Nov. 10. â&#x20AC;˘ There are six different forms of family involvement. They have a different impact on students. For example, volunteering in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school does not necessarily improve the achievement of your own child. Neither does serving on a school committee. Both are valuable in other ways. But these forms of involvement wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily produce higher achievement for your own child. â&#x20AC;˘ The form of family involvement that does the most to improve student achievement is to help families understand what they can do at home to improve a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills. Many of these

things can be fun, like going to a grocery store and practicing basic math skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better bargain, two half gallons of milk at $2 each, or a gallon that costs $3.50?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Family involvement through high school has great benefits for students. It helps produce better attendance, grades, behavior, and attitudes. Again, what the school does to help families can and has produced more family involvement. â&#x20AC;˘ Each school should have a team that produces a yearly family involvement plan. The school leader should be a part of this team, and it should have a budget to help carry out its activities. The team should include some parents and in a high school, some students. Epsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federally funded cen-

ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ !

ter has produced many materials that schools can share with families to help them with their children. Some of the best use the federal government has made of our taxes has been to support Epsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for more than 20 years. She calls these TIPS (Teachers Involve Parents in Schoolwork). To read the TIPS, go online at www.csos. jhu.edu/p2000/tips/index.htm. Schools can learn from each other. Currently more than 1,000 schools, 100 school districts and 17 state departments of education are part of the National Network of Partnership Schools that Epstein and her colleagues have created. Epstein will be speaking at 6 p.m. Nov. 10, at North High School, 1500 James Ave. in Minneapolis. Several groups, including the Center for School Change

(where I work), Minneapolis Public Schools, Growth and Justice, MinnCan and the Department of Organizational Leadership at the University of Minnesota are cosponsoring this. Seating is limited. Minnesota Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius will provide a welcome. Please RSVP if you want to attend by emailing csc@macalester. edu. More information about Epsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center is available at www. csos.jhu.edu/p2000/center.htm. Joe Nathan, former public school teacher, administrator, PTA president, parent of three public school graduates, now directs the Center for School Change at Macalester College.

Police arrest suspect in high-speed chase

Though he no longer writes for the website, Brodkorb continues his critiques on Twitter and his blog, mbrodkorb.tumbler.com. Brodkorb has built a 16year career in the GOP and has previously worked on several Republican congressional campaigns including for Bachmann, Norm Coleman and Mark Kennedy. In addition to volunteering for the Parry campaign, Brodkorb will continue to work as communication director for the Minnesota Republican Senate Caucus.

Minnesota Republican Party deputy chair Michael Brodkorb stepped down after two years in office to join state Sen. Mike Parryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional campaign. Party bylaws prohibit a party official from backing a candidate prior to endorsement, explained Brodkorb, an Eagan resident. GOP chairman Tony Sutton has said he will not appoint a replacement. Instead, the position will be filled by the executive committee. It was Brodkorbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship with Parry and his be-

Belgrade man suspiciously visited two Eagan elementary schools by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Belgrade man who suspiciously visited several Eagan schools was arrested Wednesday after he led police on a high-speed chase. Eagan police say Jason Marson Michels, 34, led them on a car chase after they responded to a call at Pinewood Elementary School. Michels visited Pinewood and another

Eagan school claiming to be looking for his daughter who did not attend either school. School officials told police Michels was acting â&#x20AC;&#x153;very hyper and very strange,â&#x20AC;? and believed he was at another school, which is not in Eagan. As Michels began to drive away from Pinewood, an Eagan officer attempted to stop him. Michels led police on a chase from Eagan

to Bloomington, reaching speeds of 110 mph. Police ultimately stopped Michels at the intersection of Lyndale Avenue and 90th Street in Bloomington by using the Pursuit Intervention Technique in which an officer slams his or her vehicle into the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to render it immobile. Michelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license was cancelled and he had a warrant for his arrest for felony probation viola-

tion, gross misdemeanor obstructing a legal process and gross misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol. Michels was transported by police officers to Regions Hospital. Once medical personnel finish evaluating him, Michels is expected to be transported to the Dakota County Jail.

Breecher/from 1A the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Biggest Biceps!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Philip Breecher of Burnsville, Minn., USA, has natural biceps measuring 25 inches in circumference,â&#x20AC;? reads the cartoon, which Breecher said was posted on Gocomics.com on Oct. 29. The Breecher piece is one of the daily syndicated cartoons Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivers to newspapers in two dozen countries, said Lucas Stram, researcher for the Floridabased company. Breecher pitched his biceps to both Guinness World Records and Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the latter with which he is not playing phone tag. Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the business of curating world record competitions, and there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;standing official recordâ&#x20AC;? on natural or enhanced biceps, Stram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say that,â&#x20AC;? Breecher said when told of Stramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a world record, I guarantee that. Arnold Schwarzenegger was reputed to have a 21-inch arm. Lou Ferrigno was reputed to have 20 and three-quarters, pumped. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an honest 25-inch, which is over 2 feet around. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a very unusual measurement in the world today. Over 2 feet around and still growing.â&#x20AC;? Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which Stram says receives oodles of letters and email suggestions each week, did ask for pho-

Huusko said he saw the school board as another way to be involved in his community. He said his top priority over the next year is to expand early childhood education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it costs a lot of money, but if we spend ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝

He gladly obliged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated himself to the goal,â&#x20AC;? Stram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people that we end up featuring get things in their head and they just pursue it doggedly. Like Joe Waul, who ended up creating the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rubber-band ball. The thing is huge.â&#x20AC;? Breecher, proclaiming 20 to 25 percent body fat, is more rounded than chiseled. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 5 feet 8 and 340 pounds, and if he asks you to punch him in the stomach, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to agree thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of give there. Breecher was accomplished in judo as a kid and spent a couple of years in his 20s pursuing a wrestling career. Nicknamed Phil â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gunsâ&#x20AC;? Breecher by a suburban sports reporter who

also wrote for an American Wrestling Association newspaper, Breecher said he landed bouts with the likes of Baron von Raschke, Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Axeâ&#x20AC;? Hennig and the Free Birds tag team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I wrestled as a Russian out in Washington state,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ivan Reboff, I think was my name.â&#x20AC;? The career didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last, and Breecher said he tried mixed martial arts, losing the last of a handful of career fights in 2009. But he never stopped lifting weights. Breecher said he saw Valentino featured on a Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV show several years ago sporting 24-inch biceps. His, Breecher said, were 25 at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when I saw them tape him at 24, I knew I was the largest natural,â&#x20AC;? said Breecher, who runs a company that seeks appointments to inspect

For three years, Brad Heywood has played a vital behind-the-scenes role with the Lakeville-based community theater group Expressions. As the all-purpose â&#x20AC;&#x153;tech guy,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handled lighting, sound and other nuts-and-bolts aspects of about a half dozen productions. Now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving the quiet anonymity of the control booth and stepping into the spotlight. The Lakeville resident and IT specialist by profession is making his stage debut this month in Expressionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; holiday play â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Better Watch Out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new experience and a challenge,â&#x20AC;? Heywood said. In the booth, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can be up there reading a book and just hit a button when I need to. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to focus and make sure I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t screw up my lines.â&#x20AC;? Heywood plays Mr. Smith in â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Better Watch Out,â&#x20AC;? a character who as the show progresses is revealed to be Santa. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a role to which Heywood says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-suited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did Santa for my kids when they were little â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even got my own Santa suit, though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fit into it anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned on auditioning for the part. According to the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Andy Wilkins, the actor originally cast as Mr. Smith decided the drive-time to Lakeville was getting to be too much, and dropped out of the show about a week into rehearsals. In stepped Heywood, who said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been toying with the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;taking the plungeâ&#x20AC;? into acting for some time. His only prior acting experience was a theater class he took while attending Robbinsdale Armstrong High School. The students didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform before an audience,

The bar, which showcases Van Gogh Vodkas, offers 29 different martinis, a dozen signature house drinks, wines, champagne, and a selection of imported and domestic beers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a pub,â&#x20AC;? said Executive Chef Andrew Holmes, who has worked at restaurants and clubs in Europe and Las Vegas as well as nationwide hotel chains Sussex and Kessler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can come and have great beer, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sit down, watch football.

the premier seats are wider than normal theater seats, with wider arms that hold drinks and plates, Fronckoski said. They become loveseats when the middle armrest is raised. Movie concessions are also available in the Mezz, with a few extras not available downstairs. They include white truffle popcorn, fudges and rock candy, Fronckoski said. Premier tickets cost $5 more than base ticket prices but come with a $5 discount off Mezz purchases of $20 or more. Specials include a â&#x20AC;&#x153;two for $20â&#x20AC;? deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two tickets and two select food items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a three-course dinner package for two, which includes two tickets and a bottle of wine. The cost is $75. DJs and live bands are planned, along with screenings of classic old movies during times the auditoriums arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in use. The Mezz is reserved for customers 21 and older after 9 p.m. For more information, visit mezzlounge.com.

cent. It just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appropriate to ask for anything other than just renewing what the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been giving us for the last 10 years.â&#x20AC;? Support for levy renewal came in at 83 percent in a district-commissioned survey. A total of 33 percent of respondents voiced â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongâ&#x20AC;? support in the 400-person survey, taken in August by Decision Resources Ltd. The survey showed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;benignâ&#x20AC;? climate of property tax hostility in District 191 and notable improvement in residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; judgement of how the district is managed and spends its money, according to William Morris of Decision Resources, which last surveyed district residents in 2007. The $10 million is part of $17.4 million in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voter-approved levy authority, Rider said. The district also collects $7.4 million a year from a $630 per-pupil levy voters approved in 2007, she said. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. More information, including a link to polling places, is at the district website, www.isd191. org.

tention to an important issue when there are very few other electoral things going on,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. Hill heads the Vote Yes 191 Citizens Committee, which he says has a leader in each school. District officials have made the rounds of parent-teacher organization meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strategy is to get out and talk to everybody,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. The district isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out of the woods financially, he said, with operating costs rising by about $3 million a year and little expectation of state funding increases to close the gap. Even with levy renewal, the district says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipating $5 to $7 million in cuts for the 2012-13 school year. But board members discussed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and rejected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; asking voters for new tax money this year, possibly in the form of a levy to buy new technology, Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough. Home prices are down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement accounts are still off considerably from what they were three years ago.

Maloney also allegedly told police he was sexually attracted to the girl he assaulted and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;he was afraid he might do something that was not characteristic of him.â&#x20AC;? He is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 12.

Maloney, who was dressed in dark colors and a ski mask, placed his hands over her mouth and neck to try to silence her, prosecutors say. The girl scratched Maloney during a struggle which caused him to flee the home. The girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and juvenile brother were asleep in the home during the incident, police say.

A few of the signature dishes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the Thai BBQ shrimp brochette, the beef tenderloin and the walleye â&#x20AC;&#x201D; require a knife and fork. Those are the priciest items on the menu, topping out at $17. Patrons choosing from among the tapas and flatbread items might find that two to four plates constitute a full meal. Holmes likened the restaurant to another Burnsville eatery, Porter Creek Hardwood Grill, that has won praise as an independent dining alternative in the south metro area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like Porter Creek,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love us.â&#x20AC;?

Marie S. Trevis Age 89 of Farmington passed away on 10/24/2011. Preceded in death by husbands Robert Trevis and Walter Trevis, brother Frank Meier, sister Elizabeth Otterness, and Grandchildren Monica Haugley and Ryan Sauer. Survived by children Robert (Marcia), Gary (Cheryl), Janine (Wayne) Dahmes, James (Chris), Walter (Carolyn), Diane (Jeff) Oesterreich, Edward (Paula), and Marilyn (Mike) Sauer; 14 Grandchildren; and 13 Great Grandchildren. Mass of Christian Burial was Thursday, October 27, 2011 at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church, 13900 Biscayne Ave., Rosemount, MN. Interment, St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery. Born June 8, 1922, Marie grew up in a family of five near Hastings, MN, during the Great Depression. She married Robert Trevis in 1942. They had one son, Robert Jr. During World War II, Robert was killed, and Marie later married her first husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Walter. They raised their eight children on a small dairy farm south of Rosemount, MN, and lived their last 30 years in a house built by their children across the road from the farm. They became known for their large garden, and people came to pick strawberries or buy the small bunches of Indian corn that Marie knotted every fall. Marie and Walter traveled in their golden years, and enjoyed trips to Hawaii, the Canadian Rockies and Italy. Marie cherished her long friendships with relatives, neighbors and friends. To her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Marie created a safe and loving home. She passes onto them her wonderful traits - unconditional love, generosity, honesty, goodness and her desire to dance. Above all, Marie was a loving wife to Walter. Their marriage was an inspiration to all that witnessed it. For 64 years they loved, laughed and held hands. And now they are holding hands for eternity. Memorials to St. Joseph Catholic Church.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE DAY STOP SMOKING

THISWEEK November 4, 2011

Thomas/from 3A disputes is never appropriate,â&#x20AC;? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a news release after the sentencing by Judge Timothy McManus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of picking up a gun, Thomas could have easily picked up a phone and called 911.

Had he done so, this tragedy never would have occurred.â&#x20AC;? A noisy altercation between the two men began after Thomas discovered that Koenig had Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13-year-old son take pictures of him shirtless. Koenig, who struck body-building poses in the photos, said

he wanted a new picture for his Facebook page. Both Thomas and Koenigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend confronted Koenig about the photos, which they deemed inappropriate. As the argument escalated, Thomas went to get the gun. He was holding the gun and ordering Koenig

to leave when Koenig, who had been taunting Thomas and threatening to take the gun, lunged at him, according to the criminal complaint. Thomas, who had asked another man at the party to call 911, then fired. The man had dialed 911, and hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;sendâ&#x20AC;? after the gun went

off, according to the complaint. The county attorney originally charged Thomas with intentional seconddegree murder. A grand jury indicted him instead on charges of unintentional second-degree murder while committing a felony, second-degree manslaugh-

ter, intentional discharge of a firearm and endangering another, and reckless discharge of a firearm in a municipality. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Eagan football has a chance to make history With a win over Cretin-Derham Hall on Friday, Eagan would earn its first state bid by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE

The Eagan football team has a chance to do something this Friday night that no other Wildcat team has done. That’s win a section title and play at the state tournament. All they have to beat is one team: Cretin-Derham Hall. For the third straight year, Eagan will travel to St. Paul for the section playoffs. Any mention of the Raiders makes Eagan players grumble. Every football player enters a game with a plan to win, but Eagan’s desire beat Cretin-Derham Hall is passionate. For some, the Raiders seem like an unstoppable force. Former quarterbacks have gone on to win NCAA national championships (Steve Walsh), the Heisman Trophy (Chris Wienke), and even Major League Baseball MVPs (Joe Mauer). Recently the Raiders had the No. 1 recruit in the

country (Seantrel Henderson) and wide receiver who is currently one of the top college players in the country (Michael Floyd). Eagan hasn’t backed down. In 2009, Eagan was in the midst of its best season in years. The Wildcats fell one point short of a Halloween miracle at St. Thomas, losing to Cretin-Derham Hall 21-20. The team was set to tie the game late and elected to go for two points and the win. It didn’t work, and the Raiders went on to win the state title. To beat Cretin-Derham Hall, sometimes you need to go for two. The last time the Raiders didn’t advance to state is when Lakeville South converted a twopoint conversion late to win in 2006. Last year, Eagan and the

Raiders met in the section playoffs. It wasn’t quite as close. Eagan had a 14-13 lead, but gave up 10 points late to lose 23-14. It’s no surprise this year that the Raiders are undefeated, averaging 35 points per game while giving up less than eight. In order to advance to state, Cretin will have to beat one of the hottest teams. Eagan has won six of its last seven games with the one loss coming against Prior Lake on a blustery night. Leading up to the section final, Eagan has scored 113 points in wins over Minneapolis Southwest and Woodbury. One would be hard pressed to find another team playing better right now than the Wildcats.

Lightning back in the section ﬁnal Eastview qualified for the Section 3-5A final for the fifth year in a row after defeating Rosemount 49-13 on Oct. 29. It’s quite the accom-

plishment considering on Oct. 14 Eastview was 2-5 looking at playing an away game in the section quarterfinals. It was a bit of an upset with Rosemount coming in as the No. 1 seed and Eastview at No. 4, but with rivalries like this, you can often throw out the record. The story of the game was turnovers. Rosemount gave it up five times, three fumbles and two interceptions, while Eastview held on to the ball. The game was never close. Eastview took a 21-0 early lead thanks to two touchdown runs by LeAndre Kennedy and one by Eric Krupke. The Lightning put 21 more points on the board in the third quarter to put the game out of reach with two Krupke runs and a 47yard pass from Ryan Reger to Adam Moorse. Eastview had lost three in a row to Rosemount including a 28-21 game on Oct. 14, but since then the Lightning have done noth-

ing but win, outscoring opponents 124-20 in its last three games. The Lightning will make the trip to Prior Lake on Friday to take on the No. 2 seed in Section 3-5A for the right to go to state. The Lakers (7-3) defeated Bloomington Jefferson and Kennedy by a combined 7310 to get to this point. While Prior Lake has been in the same conference as Eastview for two seasons, the two teams have yet to play. The only meeting between the two was in 2007 with Eastview winning 3813 in the section playoffs. The Lakers like to run the ball with Jake Kaiser, who averages 114 yards per game. They don’t allow many points either, giving up on average two touchdowns per game. Prior Lake has never advanced to the state tournament while Eastview’s last trip was in 2009.

assists. “Our first eight, nine minutes I think we were a little nervous,” Soderholm said. “This was a wonderful way to do it. We’re happy. I think (Centennial) is a little better than the score. We knew we could to it. We kept the ball on the ground and passed it around. We’re playing really well right now.” Teams have had a hard time stopping Blahnik, who had more than 33 goals before the state final. Bailly Drayton, Abby Soderholm and Tiana Khamvongsa are part of the scoring machine that finished third in the South Suburban Conference and won the Section 2AA title beating Edina 2-1. “We all play as a team,” Blahnik said. “We all get along really well. We all played together previously, and it just came together this season.” While the offense averaged more than three goals per game, it was the defense that grew the most during the past month. “Our average shots on net is like five,” Blahnik said. “Our defense has done a really good job keeping goals out of our net.” On offense, it’s just second nature. If they stick to their game, they can move the offense in their sleep. “We just click,” Blahnik said. “We know each other really well.” The state final result was unavailable at presstime. Visit www.Thisweeklive.com for a story and photos from the game.

The Burnsville girls soccer team burst on to the scene in a big way during 2011. Qualifying for state for the first time since 1996, the Blaze advanced all the way to the state final on Thursday with a young team. The early 1990s were a special time for girls soccer in Burnsville. The girls won state titles in 1992 and 1993 and they were runner-up in 1991. In the past 15 years, Burnsville has had some exciting times, but Section 2AA has proved to be a tough nut to crack in recent years with teams from Edina and Eden Prairie standing in the way. But 2011 turned out to be the year of the Blaze. With just four losses during the regular season, Burnsville was one of the best teams in the state. A sign of a good team is improvement as the season progresses. They showed just how much they improved in the Class AA semifinals Monday with a 5-2 win over Centennial, a team they lost to 5-3 in the season opener in August. “The girls have really settled in and found each other,” coach John Soderholm said. “They’re moving the ball around really well and hit their peak at the right time.” Alyssa Blahnik had a memorable afternoon in Rogers is at the Class AA semifinal Andy with three goals and two andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

To view more photos, visit www.Thisweeklive.com. AA state semifinal win against Minneapolis Southwest. Eastviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent had more corner shots (six) and shots on goal (17), including 14 in the second half. Southwest players put on a full blitz in the final 15 minutes, but keeper Sam Ruelas and defenders Kevin Herro, Bonderud, Arshan Tarapore and Jonathan Lenz preserved the shutout. Before leaving the game with concussion-like symptoms, Ruelas had nine saves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of the best displays by a keeper in any game this year,â&#x20AC;? Gustafson said.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special kid.â&#x20AC;? Once he scored four goals against Bloomington Kennedy on Sept. 8, the fifth game of the season, teams took notice and opponents started to key on Gweh. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when other players like Pierce Erickson, EspindaBanick, Mike Bonderud, Matt Miller, and Joe Karam had to step up. Eastview started to win games even when Gweh was shut out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been easy for us, but we made our own luck sometimes,â&#x20AC;? EspindaBanick said. The Lightning wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be playing at state without the efforts of the entire program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the guys stepped up from top to bottom and we have really great senior leadership on this team,â&#x20AC;? Gustafson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of fun to coach them.â&#x20AC;? The Lightning have also relied on their defense, especially during the 2-0 Class

Say what you want about the Metrodome, but for high school soccer players competing at the state tournament for the first time, it is a special occasion. The Eastview boys were thrilled to make their first ever appearance at the state tournament this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been here before,â&#x20AC;? senior captain Brennan EspindaBanick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely new to us, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loving it.â&#x20AC;? Since the school opened, the girls team has advanced to state three times, but the boys have been shut out with the likes of Apple Valley and Eagan in the same section. The Lightning werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the forecast when the season opened; Eastview wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ranked in the top 10 by the coaches association. It took a month of undefeated play to reach the top spot, where they stayed all season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were under the radar, which was kind of good for us,â&#x20AC;? EspindaBanick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get cocky.â&#x20AC;? A big reason behind their success was the emergence of forward Mathew Gweh, who sat out last year because of transfer rules. Gweh came into the season confident, and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised when they started winning games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt the team,â&#x20AC;? Gweh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew coming in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like brothers. Sometimes we get a little upset, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer. We try to work hard for each other.â&#x20AC;? Opponents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect from Gweh in the early part of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time you see him play youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be on your heels pretty fast,â&#x20AC;? head coach Scott Gustafson
