The BurnhavenLibrary recently started anew chapter.

The library is back inbusiness after an eight-month renovation thatbegan last September. Asthe first major overhaulin 15 years, the renova-tions cost approximately$1.9 million for themetro’s third-largestlibrary.

As patrons visited thenewly opened library onMonday, May 9, they saw aspacious new layout,more computers, a tech-nolo gically-advancedcheckout service and abrand new meeting room.

“I think it’s reallygreat,” Burnsville resi-dent Pat Johnson saidabout the renovations. “Itseems to be more spa-cious and newer ofcourse, and I like all thenew carpeting and light-ing and just the way it’sarranged. This is my firsttime here since it’sreopened so I’m just get-ting used to it.”

Nonprofit legal group continues service to low-income clientsBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

For decades, a local legal group hasdefended the rights of others, but now itis fighting a battle of its own.

Legal Assistance of Dakota County,14800 Galaxie Ave. Suite 103, in AppleValley, is a private, nonprofit organiza-tion dedicated to providing free legalservices to low-income residents inDakota County, but the group of threestaff attorneys and about 100 volunteersis struggling to meet all of the needs ofits target clientele.

LADC primarily directs its efforts tocases involving family law, areas such asdivorce, child custody, grandparent cus-tody, rights and responsibilities ofunmarried parents and protectiveorders for low-income county residents.

Katie Trotzky, LADC executive direc-tor, explained why the legal group focus-es mainly on these cases.

“It matches what the poverty popula-tion needs,” she said. “Most of the poorpeople in any area, but in DakotaCounty as well, are women and chil-dren.”

Trotzkey approximated the number

of those in the county who fall into thiscategory and who could benefit fromLADC’s services.

“Dakota County has the fourth high-est poverty population in the state,” shesaid. “The percentage is small, but thenumber is big. There are about 58,000people in Dakota County who haveincomes less than 200 percent of thepoverty guidelines.”

Incomes are relevant to LADC, as thegroup limits cases where the individualrequesting it qualifies in two mainareas: financial status and place of resi-dence. Likely clients must have house-hold incomes below 125 percent ofpoverty guidelines, and the potentialclients must reside in Dakota County orhave a case rooted in the county.

Among the many cases LADC takesare those involving domestic abuse,which often requires an order of protec-tion. Due to the sheer volume of poten-tial cases, meeting all of these needs is abattle in itself.

“There are probably about 10,000domestic abuse cases that that size pop-ulation would have,” Trotzky said, refer-ring to Dakota County. “We can handle

probably about 25 to 30 percent of thedemand for the kind of case that is beingrequested.”

Lori Bronk of Apple Valley is a clientwho qualified and received assistancefrom LADC. The group assisted Bronkin obtaining an order of protectionagainst a man with whom she shares achild.

“This is a weird circumstance wherehe was using someone else’s cell phonenumbers, so they helped me work withthe Apple Valley Police Department tosubpoena the other person’s phonerecords,” she said.

Bronk was prompted to contact thegroup after the father of her child violat-ed two orders of protection, stemmingfrom threatening behavior exhibitedduring visitations. Her case has beensettled, at least for the time being, andshe expressed a great deal of relief forfeeling safe, as well as gratitude toLADC for making it possible. She saidthe LADC did more than she expected byhelping her in other ways.

“To me, they went above and beyond.You don’t always get that when you’re asingle parent, low-income,” Bronk said.

“It wasn’t just the legal part. They stoodby you.”

Though the legal group was able tosuccessfully help Bronk, Trotzky stillhas concerns about the future of LADCand how it will continue to serve DakotaCounty residents in need.

“This is particularly appropriate asfar as what is happening in the fundingfor legal aid,” Trotzky said. “We getmoney from the state, and we get moneyfrom the county, and we get money fromthe bar associations, as well as someindividuals, primarily lawyers.”

The executive director said the state’scurrent financial position is an issue forLADC’s staff members to keep an eyeon.

“We’re in the second year of the lastbiennium, and they are working on thebudget for next year,” she said. “We arelooking at a significant cuts.”

The LADC accepts donations in addi-tion to its involvement in fundraisers.An upcoming 5K fundraiser will be heldSaturday, May 21, Ritter Farm Park,19300 Ritter Trail, Lakeville. For moreinformation about the race, visithttp://bit.ly/mbC6Xy.

Somali native and Minnesota resi-dent Hassan Samantar is using his roleas a multicultural parent advocate at thePACER Center to help increase commu-nication between the Somali communityand public schools. Because Minnesotais one of the fastest-growing states interms of diversity, Samantar said theneed for New Americans is differentthan the needs of the mainstream.

“It’s very difficult for the NewAmericans to come to a state where a lotof the services provided here in ourcountry are not available back home inSomalia,” Samantar added. “There’s abarrier in the community, and thebiggest need is communication.”

Founded in 1977, the Parent AdvocacyCoalition for Educational Rights (knownas PACER) helps expand opportunitiesand enhance the quality of life of chil-dren and youth with disabilities. Theorganization is primarily staffed by par-ents of children with disabilities andworks in cooperation with 18 disabilityorganizations. PACER assists individualfamilies, hosts workshops, distributesmaterials, and develops leadership.

“Parents bring their children in, andwe can help them with learning andfunctioning better,” said Manager ofParent Training Virginia Richardson.“We work with all disabilities in chil-dren from birth until they are youngadults. We help the parent understandthe child’s disability, and we help themcommunicate effectively with profes-sionals.”

PACER is offering an upcoming freeworkshop for Somali parents of childrenwith disabilities. The workshop, called“Special Education: What Do I Need toKnow,” will be hosted 6-8 p.m., Friday,May 20, at the Burnsville CommunityCenter. The program is funded in partby the Minnesota Department ofEducation.

“New Americans have a number ofdifferent issues that I work with,”Samantar said. “I help them with theirkids’ education rights, I do home visits, Iwork with [Individual Education Plans]and so forth. As the only multicultural

person, I have a lot of different projectsand wear different hats.”

Topics discussed in the workshop willbe the importance of parental involve-ment, how parents can work effectivelywith the school, information about eval-uation processes, working with anIndividualized Education Plan, andeffective partnering of special educa-tion and general education. The work-shops for Somali parents of childrenwith disabilities are hosted as often asneeded.

“Some projects require two or threeworkshops, and some projects mightonly require one a year,” Samantar said.“The community might have a need for aparticular issue that they struggle with,and of course those are in addition towhat the projects require.”

Richardson said they key to reachingthese parents is to go to the communityrather than making the communitycome to them.

“We plan workshops that we set up incommunities, but we also do a lot ofresponding to communities if they wantus to come do a workshop there,”Richardson said. “The difference inserving New Americans is that we haveto get in their circle instead of buildingit and think they have to come here.”

“In my experience, 95 percent of thetime when I get involved, the relation-ship between the school and home getsbetter,” Samantar said.

In addition to hosting workshopsacross the state, PACER also has a toll-free number people can call where rep-resentatives assist them in resolvingissues regarding education. Althoughthe focus is on parents, they will alsoassist teachers, principals and superin-tendents.

“I think there’s an enormous needfor information because information ispower,” Richardson said. “PACER helpsbridge the gap between the parents andthe school, and I think both of them ben-efit. When you don’t speak the language,people don’t get the services that otherpeople do when they speak the language.I think PACER feels a responsibility toprovide social work services to peoplewho need it very much.”

LV Senior Center leadrecognized with awardBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

If you are wondering what’s involvedin running a senior center, look no fur-ther than “the brightest star inLakeville.”

Linda Walter, coordinator of theLakeville Senior Center, 20732 HoltAvenue, in Lakeville, was recentlyawarded the 2011 Outstanding SeniorService award during the MinnesotaAssociation of Senior Services’ annualconference. The award is designed torecognize the hard work and efforts ofeach year’s recipient at his or herrespective senior center.

Jacque Mihm, marketing director atHighview Hills senior living communityin Lakeville, was among those who nom-inated Walter for the award, and feelsthat she could not be more deserving ofit.

“She is the brightest star inLakeville,” Mihm said. “She is so won-derful and has contributed so much tothe Lakeville residents.”

Mihm said her reasons for nominat-ing Walter included the latter’s workethic and ability to coordinate programsfor the present and the future. For thosewho belong to the center, Walter hasimplemented such programs as a motor-cycle group, a bicycle group, Spanish

speaking classes, and even tai chi, origi-nating with the Chinese as a means ofmeditative movements for exercising.

“I think she is very unique. I don’tthink many senior centers go out of thebox,” Mihm said. “I just watch herenthusiasm. It’s very contagious.”

The individuals involved in the selec-tion process factor in many aspects ofthe each coordinator’s roles, such as thenumber of successful programs at theirrespective centers, fundraisers to bene-fit their centers, and outreach and theamount of volunteerism within theircommunities.

Walter, who has been nominated forthe award on numerous occasions,maintained the distinction could havebeen awarded to a host of others.

“I was actually surprised becausethere are so many other good coordina-tors,” Walter said, referring to her beingnominated. “I love my job, and I enjoyworking with mature adults.”

Walter’s love for her job and workingwith seniors began at a young age. Shewas not only very close with her grand-mother, who Walter called her mentor,but also worked with seniors through-out her high school years.

“I just really enjoy doing it, and Ihave a lot of compassion for seniors,”she said.

BY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM SUN NEWSPAPERS

Despite having a completeinability to tell you what I hadfor dinner threenights ago, I pos-sess an uncannyknack for identify-ing family photos ofnearly any eradown to the monthand year.

My mom willshow me some random shottaken on a featureless stretch ofbeach, and I’ll say, “Oh yeah,that was Door County, summerof ‘93, because I am wearingthat watch that I bought atTarget that summer when weran into Spencer Brewer dur-ing the shopping trip. Also,that’s a Looney Toons shirt youfound for me at JC Penney onclearance that spring.”

As much as I would like tosay that having a great memoryfor the trivial is a blessing,there are times when it is morea of parlor trick than anything

else. While it is great to bafflefriends with recollections thatinspire a startled “How do youremember all of this stuff ?” it ishard not to apply the same men-

tal mappingto DakotaCounty.

A f t e rspending 27out of my 31years onthis planetin Eagan

and Apple Valley, I am a sort ofliving “On this day in history”marker plaque. I can point outthe spot on 140th Street where Ithrew up a cheese dog in 1986and lost my taste for that par-ticular food item for the next 15years. I can recall the old farm-house that used to occupy thespot now filled by the GalaxieLibrary. I can point out whatused to be where in theBurnsville Center, includingthe site of the former recordstore where I bought “Thriller”in 1984.

This institutional memory

suits me well as a professional,but as an individual, the memo-ries serve more as reminders ofhow much everything haschanged since I was a kid. As aproduct of the American sub-urbs, we didn’t get cathedralsand great works of art. We gotshopping malls and brightlypainted park swingsets, andthat was perfectly fine with me.

But while Notre Dame hasprobably changed little since itwas finished in 1345, theBurnsville Center has evolvedin the way that a living, organicstructure would. Even the Mallof America is starting to showits age a bit, which makes mefeel a little bit older, as I stillconsider it as “the new mall,”and can remember very clearlythe day it opened in August1992, when Ryan Murray, mynext-door neighbor, came homewith a commemorative mallbear and wouldn’t stop talkingabout how cool it was.

Even the smallest of spots inthis area hold some sort ofmemory. Part of me wonders

how life would have been if Ihad moved someplace else.Would the changes be moreobvious? Would it deflate me tosee the natural developmentsthat repopulate our landscapeand lives with the new and dif-ferent? Would I even care?

In the end, the old saying istrue: you can never really gohome again, even if you neverreally left it to begin with. Now,if you will excuse me, I have torun an errand to BurlingtonCoat Factory. Which used to bea Kmart, until it closed in 2002.They had a great clearancesale, and I bought a digital 1.3-megapixel digital camera. ThatKmart also always had the bestSlush Puppies in town when Iwas a kid, and that was backwhen that entire developmentwas a multi-entranced mallthat included a Carbones with“Pole Position,” my favoriteAtari game.

See what I mean? Whatexactly am I supposed to dowith all of this useless data?Write for a newspaper, I guess.

Thoughts on becoming the ultimate townie

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Do seniors notcare?To the editor:

It has been said that mostseniors do not care about theproposal to utilize the oldPolice Station on HolyokeAvenue as a new Senior Centerand a home for the HistoricalSociety because they have notvoiced their opinions to CityHall. Now is your chance.

A meeting is planned fornoon Monday, May 23, at theLakeville Area Art Center forthe purpose of updating every-one on the proposal. A studycommittee and City staff havebeen given until mid-June to

finalize plans and financingoptions and to determine ifthere is enough communitysupport.

I want to urge all membersand non-members alike toattend this meeting to becomeinformed and to voice youropinions. You are the peoplewho have been using and willuse such a facility in the future.

Since the passing of the Freedom toBreathe Act in 2007, the right to smokehas become a smoldering topic of dis-cussion and controversy in Minnesota.

In addition to not being permitted tosmoke in public places such as restau-rants, lobbies, and businesses, DakotaCounty smokers may now have atougher time smoking in their apart-ments as a result of the Smoke-FreeLiving movement sweeping the cities.

Live Smoke Free, a nonprofit promot-ing smoke-free multi-housing units, isfunded by Dakota County Public Healthas a part of the Statewide HealthImprovement Plan.

“We’ve been working primarily withbuilding owners and managers to edu-cate them on smoke-free policies andthe benefits of going smoke-free in theirbuildings,” said Live Smoke FreeProgram Manager Matt Farmer. “We’reworking to fill the gaps in theMinnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.”

The Freedom to Breathe Act, whichmade amendments to the 1975Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, saysthat common areas of apartment build-

ings such as hallways, laundry roomsand community rooms must be smoke-free. Whether or not smoking is permit-ted in individual units is up to the man-agers.

View Pointe Apartments in Eaganadopted a smoke-free living policy sev-eral years ago for half of their build-ings.

“In the entire complex, you can’tsmoke in the hallways, entryways or bal-conies, but half of our buildings are alsosmoke-free, meaning they can’t smoke inthe units either,” Leasing ConsultantLindsey Szymanski said. “We’re findingthat a lot of people are going in thatdirection and have allergies, don’t wantthat smell, or want a clean environment,so we want to offer that, but for peoplewho want to smoke, we want to offer thatas well.”

“Roughly 75 percent of people arelooking for smoke-free housing,”Farmer said. “There’s certainly ademand for it, so we’re working on pro-viding that for residents.”

Jade Lane Apartments in Eaganoffers one building that is smoke-freeand one that permits smoking.

“More and more people are actually

smoke-free these days, so having thatoption is a choice we offer for residents,”said Property Manager Bill Cunniff.

But when it comes to seeking outsmoke-free apartments, Cunniff said it’snot a top priority for many of their ten-ants.

“There’s a very small amount of peo-ple who actually ask about [smoke-freebuildings,]” Cunniff said. “I know it’simportant to some people, but I wouldsay that with prospective residents com-ing in, one out of every 15 will ask if it’ssmoke-free.”

Farmer said when a apartment man-agers interested in going smoke-free willoften conduct a survey to find out howmany tenants smoke, whether or notthey smoke in their units, and if theywould like a smoke-free policy.

Once they decide to make the transi-tion to smoke-free housing, they updatetheir lease with an amendment, and asresidents renew their leases or as newtenants sign the form, they agree to notsmoke in the building and it slowly tran-sitions to become smoke-free.

The Dakota County CommunityDevelopment Agency has also adopted asmoke-free policy. The agency has been

building affordable independent livingsenior housing since 1990 and has thelargest locally funded senior housingprogram in the nation. Three years agothey decided that all new senior housingconstruction would be smoke-free. Theagency has opened three smoke-freebuildings already, and are in the processof opening three more.

According to Assistant Director ofAdministration Sara Swenson, commu-nities with existing senior buildingoptions will continue to allow smoking,but all new construction will be smoke-free moving forward.

The Live Smoke Free program start-ed approximately five years ago with 50buildings in Minnesota that weresmoke-free. Now, there are more than600 buildings that are smoke-free.Dakota County had one smoke-freebuilding before the program and nowhas 36 that have adopted the policies.howver, the future of the Smoke-FreeHousing movement is unclear.

“Live Smoke Free will go on throughdifferent funding sources, but as far as[the Statewide Health ImprovementProgram] goes, we’re not sure what’sgoing to happen,” Farmer said.

Thyroid hormonescontrol all your metabolism, and when thy-roid hormones are low they cause all thecells in your body and mind to slow down.These symptoms include fatigue, weightgain, mood swings, sweet cravings, depres-sion, sluggish thinking, thinning hair or hairloss, and cold hands and feet. For somepeople digestive problems like constipationand acid indigestion may signal low thy-roid.

Even when taking thyroid medication,many people continue to suffer from thesymptoms of having low thyroid. Somepeople are even told their lab tests are nor-mal but still continue to endure the symp-toms of low thyroid. However, there can bea solution for symptoms from low thyroid!

Dr. Phil Gilman DC FMA FASBE, a pub-lished thyroid researcher and chiropractor,is holding a seminar to discuss low thyroidsymptoms. His research shows that whileblood tests are valuable in evaluating thy-roid dysfunction, often the basic tests areinadequate in finding the underlying caus-es of low thyroid. For example Dr. Gilman’spublished research showed that liver func-

tion affects low thyroid. This research alsoshowed that low thyroid persons have aobservable posture and testable muscleweakness.

There are six patterns of thyroid dys-function and only one of them respondswell to thyroid medication. That is why somany have been disappointed in theirresults.

During the seminar Dr. Gilman willreveal the number one cause of low thyroidin the United States, why many women tak-ing replacement hormones won’t get bet-ter, six patterns to thyroid problems, andwhy doctor’s don’t run complete thyroidtests. He will also discuss the one food thatis often involved in low thyroid and how totest for it. In addition to exposing thesetruths about thyroid treatment, Dr. Gilmanwill also discuss natural solutions to correctthyroid problems. Due to the high demandand sensitivity of this information, seatingfor Dr. Gilman’s private thyroid seminar islimited to 15 people. It will be held onTuesday, May 24th at 6:00 PM at theLifeSpring Wellnesss Center, 1964 RahncliffCt. #600 in Eagan. Please call 651-681-8199 to reserve a seat today!

When looking for inspiration for oneart center’s spring finale, one local per-forming arts center decided to follow theWhite Rabbit.

DanceWorks Performing Arts Centerwill be adding a twist to its annualspring recital by performing “Alice inWonderland” in collaboration withDanceWorks Repertory EnsembleSunday, May 22, at Lakeville North HighSchool. “Alice in Wonderland” is a 25-minute segment within the annualspring show that reenacts a portion ofthe classic story through ballet and sev-eral other styles of dance.

According to DanceWorks DirectorAnn Proudfoot, the performance beginswith Alice reading a book with her sis-ter when an amazing adventure startshappening in front of their eyes.

“It’s awesome because we have abeautiful backdrop and lovely cos-tumers,” Proudfoot said. “Sometimes aballet can be very slow-moving, like thebeginning of ‘The Nutcracker,’ but it’svery upbeat, lively, and there’s no downtime.”

Lakeville South High School ninth-grader Jacquelyn Chatelaine has been atDanceWorks for 11 years and will beplaying the role of Alice.

“There’s a kickline part and there’sjazz in it, and our White Rabbit is doinghip hop, so there’s a lot of other dancestyles,” Jacquelyn said. “I’m mostlydoing ballet, but for Tweedledee andTweedledum, they do jazz-tap.”

Jacquelyn had performed in “TheNutcracker,” “Cinderella,” and lastyear’s version of “Alice in Wonderland,”all through DanceWorks.

“I like getting to dance with every-body,” she said. “I feel you can expressmore through dancing ballet than any-thing else. I think people will reallyenjoy it because they know the storythrough the two movies that are out andthe book.”

Approximately 85 people will partici-pate in the production, including BalletOne students, who are approximately 7years old, up to adult performers. TheDanceWorks Classical Ballet program isdesigned with five levels, and studentsprogress through the levels based ontechnical skills. DanceWorks also offersadult classes, competition, danceline,jazz, tap, pre-school and a class for ball-room, Latin and swing dancing.

The entire spring production will be

DanceWorks performs‘Alice in Wonderland’

an hour and 45-minutes in length.Showtimes are 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and6:30 p.m., and the ballet portion will notbe featured in the 6:30 performance.

“A lot of times these dance studios getto two-and-a-half or three hours, and itbecomes a marathon and isn’t fun any-more,” Proudfoot said. “That’s why wedo four shows instead of two mega-shows. I think people appreciate that.Plus, it gives the kids a performingopportunity.”

DanceWorks Performing Arts Centeris the studio portion of the company andthe DanceWorks Repertory Ensemble isthe nonprofit arm of the studio.

AV alum lands broadcast job as voice of baseball clubBY JEFF BARTHEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Dave Overlund, a 2000 graduate ofApple Valley High School, has been hon-ing his broadcasting skills while study-ing the craft at St. Cloud StateUniversity.

His hard work appears to have paidoff.

The junior mass communicationsmajor has been a reporter and broad-caster for the student newspaper andradio station at St. Cloud. His perform-ance and dedication with the two jobshas led him to earning three MinnesotaAssociated Press awards and, mostrecently, a full-time summer position asthe director of media relations andbroadcasting for the Alexandria Beetlesbaseball club.

Overlund is currently in the processof constructing the team’s media guide.After his preseason prep work is com-plete, he will travel with the team toDuluth, where the team’s season com-mences Friday, June 1. Thus begins atwo-and-a-half month trek replete withbus trip after bus trip, living out of asuitcase and hours upon hours of enter-taining a radio audience through 70Beetles broadcasts.

He knows the task is a mighty one,but it’s one that Overlund is grateful tohave, and he plans to make the most outof.

“My goals for the summer: first, I justhope to make it through the whole sum-mer. Seventy games in 73 days, travelingwith the team,” Overlund said. “Being 29and knowing I’ll be traveling with lots of

19- to 21-year-olds, my goal is to staysane; and to grow as a broadcaster and togain an identity on the air.”

The new endeavor figures to be anexhaustive one, but he’s excited for theadventures and experiences it will bringhim. Overlund is also particularlythankful for this job when he reflects onthe jobs he worked throughout the firstseven years of his post-high school life.

“Before Inver Grove [CommunityCollege, where, in 2007-08, he took hisgenerals and earned a two-year degree],I worked as a server, worked jobs whereI was stuck in a cubicle; jobs where I wasmaking a living, but was pretty boredand not necessarily enjoying what I wasdoing,” he said. “I just wanted to dosomething with my life, where I get outof bed and I’m excited about what I getto do for work…There really aren’tmany jobs like that out there.”

A lifetime of sportsOverlund has enjoyed sports his

whole life. Marty Overlund, Dave’sfather, traced his son’s passion for sportsto when he was learning the alphabetand playing Tee Ball.

From the developmental baseballgame to years of playing the real thing,Marty witnessed his son’s passion forbaseball grow exponentially. That pas-sion soon spawned into other sports on ayear-by-year basis throughout his child-hood and to this very day.

“Dave’s been obsessed with sports hiswhole life,” Marty said. “He could tellyou anything about Twins baseball, andtheir stats from any year. He’s like a

walking encyclopedia with anythingabout baseball. Ever since Tee Ball he’sbeen into baseball, but he knows a lotabout other sports, [too].”

Dave’s grandmother lives in AppleValley, mere blocks from where Davegrew up. Like Dave’s father, she alsorecalls his interest for sports stemmingfrom a young age.

“He was into collecting cards and get-ting autographs,” said Marg Overlund,Dave’s grandma. “[With] just about anysport, you can ask him [a question] andhe can come up with an answer for you.”

Dave enjoys the energy that a sportsevent can generate, and recalls attend-ing hockey and football games, amongothers, during his high school years atApple Valley.

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere atthe games,” Dave said. “The unity of thecrowds, the booing and the cheeringtogether, the emotions involved withwatching a game [in person].”

Broadcasting wasn’t at the forefrontof his mind then, but he would laterdraw the connection of these feelings (ofthe atmosphere at sports events) to hiscurrent career pursuits.

At Apple Valley High School, heworked for the school paper and hadthoughts of going into print journalism,but admitted his high school gradesweren’t very good and college may nothave been something he was ready for atthe time. Thus followed the years hespent working a handful of restaurantserver and temporary office jobs.

Eventually, he enrolled at Inver GroveCommunity College in 2007, and said heliked it there primarily because heenjoyed working for the Inver Grove stu-dent newspaper. However, that doorwould soon close as the newspaper wasshut down. Despite being disappointedby this, Dave went on to complete histwo-year liberal arts degree at InverGrove.

Craving to extend his journalism pur-

suits, he continued his college educationat St. Cloud, where he immediatelystumbled upon good fortune.

“When I first went up, I went to somekind of student job fair,” Dave said.“The [St. Cloud State] radio stationapproached me and said they need anassistant news director.”

College, life lessonsDave assumed the position with

KVSC 88.1 FM immediately. He saidheld the assistant director job throughhis first year, and his responsibilitiesincluded doing a variety of news andsports reports and broadcasts on theside of his directing duties. He said hetried out working with an array of top-ics, but sports was what he particular-ly excelled in.

Dave became the head director ofthe radio station his following year – asa sophomore. Eadio broadcasting, themedium he found the most joy in andrealized his found his skills to be besttailored for.

Overlund’s broadcasting experienceblossomed into several rewardingexperiences. One came at a Gophersversus Huskies hockey game atMinnesota’s Mariucci Arena, where atthe press gate, as member of the mediawith St. Cloud, he signed in under-neath the signature of Glen Sonmor, aMinnesota hockey legend who coachedboth the Gophers and North Stars, andhas been a professional radio broad-caster for many years.

The moment sticks in Dave’s mindas a glimpse of where his broadcastingpursuits can take him.

“That was kind of a reality check,”Dave said. “You’re thinking [to your-self], ‘You’re just a student, bro, you’relow on the totem pole.’ You see thename of a legend [Sonmor], youhaven’t made it anywhere yet, but itlets you know that you’re on the righttrack.”

Senior housing studyindicates demandBY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM • SUN NEWSPAPERS

What to do with old St. Joe?Having secured a $120,000

Community Development Grant to payfor removal of hazardous materials andthe demolition of the old St. Joseph’sCatholic School building at 143rd StreetWest and South Robert Trail,Rosemount is looking to the future. Thedemolition could pave the way for moresenior housing and a new senior centerin town.

The Rosemount City Council com-missioned a senior housing study inMarch, and discussed the document,described as a “preliminary demandestimate for senior housing inRosemount, Minnesota” during itsWednesday, May 11, work session.According to Community DevelopmentDirector Kim Lindquist, the 28-page doc-ument concluded that there was “somemarket” for senior housing in the city,both now and in project in 2015.

Much of the demand is for housingwith services involved, and the study

indicated that the market area is “over-supplied” with active adult senior hous-ing. Lindquist said that having seniorhousing with services like assisted liv-ing and memory care is important tokeep those seniors living in Rosemount.

“We’re aware of residents or parentsof residents that have had to move toEagan and Lakeville for those services,and we’d like that available for our com-munity,” Lindquist told the Sun-Current. “The big question is if this agood location, from market standpoint,for senior housing.”

Lindquist said that Rosemount wasinterested in bringing in a private devel-oper to create not only senior housing,but also additional tax revenue on thesite, which is currently city-owned.While the former St. Joseph’s Churchhas been remade into the Steeple Center,repurposing the school would be a cost-ly proposition. It was built in the early1950s, asbestos was used in its construc-tion and there are parts of it that are notup to current code.

“My understanding is that the schoolcould use it because they were [grandfa-thered in], but once that changed, itneeded to be brought up to code,”Lindquist said. “It’s a split-level build-

ing with no elevator, which is obviouslya problem from a handicapped accessi-bility point. As a public building, wereally need to address it.”

The original school, built in 1953,closed in 2009. The new 46,000 squarefoot education center, located next to thenewer church building at 13900 BiscayneAve., serves more than 200 students ingrades K-8. It cost nearly $7 million tobuild. When interviewed in 2009 aboutleaving the old school building,Principal Thomas Joseph was not exact-ly nostalgic.

“It’s been a lot of band-aiding andduct taping to keep it going,” Josephsaid. “We have leaking skylights; we losta big chunk of our playground to thenew library. We have a computer lab thathouses half a class, and no air condi-tioning. It’s time to move. I don’t reallyhave a lot of feelings of remorse aboutit. The new facility will allow us to do somuch more.”

Rosemount acquired the 1924-builtchurch and attached school in 2004. A 23-member community task force con-vened in 2006 to determine how the siteshould be used, and returned in 2007with several recommendations, includ-ing using the church as an arts and cul-

tural facility.The $120,000 grant was one of six the

CDA recently awarded to redevelopmentprojects in the area, including $250,000given to assist relocation of tenants atBurnsville’s Valley Ridge ShoppingCenter, which is scheduled to be torndown and replaced with senior housing.CDA representative Dan Rogness saidthat the grants allow 18 months for aproject to be completed, with a potentialone-year extension available.

BY JEFF BARTHEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Located on the west side of LexingtonAvenue, the Eagan Art House is a placefor people with an array of art interestsand skill levels.

The facility is operated and managedby Eagan resident Julie Andersen, whosees art as not merely a hobby, but a wayof life.

“It’s kind of like breathing,”Andersen said.

The 47-year-old said her interest inart originated from her childhood, whenher mother brought her to a productionof “Rapunzel.” The play lacked glitz andglamour, but that didn’t matter. Whatparticularly struck her was the produc-tion’s simplicity and creativity, whichinduced her to conjure up her ownthoughts and images.

“There was no set or costumes. Theactors created Rapunzel’s hair by hold-ing hands and spreading across thestage,” Andersen said. “I was fascinatedby creating the details of the play in myimagination.”

She has since become a lover of allforms of arts. From music, to painting,to pottery; whatever inspires ingenuityor creativity. Most recently, however,Andersen has implemented her art ado-ration and knowledge at the Eagan ArtHouse, which she has supervised since2005.

Classes offered at the Eagan ArtHouse include painting (watercolor, oil,acrylic and multimedia), jewelry andpottery. The facility also offers activitiestailored toward scout groups, familiesand birthday parties. The Art House hasprograms to fit a variety of timeframesand seasons. It has classes that workaround school schedules, like preschoolart, after school classes and homeschoolclasses. It also offers co-op classes on oroff site for elementary, middle, highschool and homeschool students. Theorganization also hosts a variety ofsummer camps.

Typical age ranges for Eagan Art

House classes are 4-6, 7-12, teens andadults, and 55-plus to seniors. Andersensaid the classes for children are great,but she spoke particularly of the inter-ests for adults and seniors.

“For many people that come here it’sa life-changing experience,” she said.“Especially for our seniors because theyreally need that connection. They comehere for that social aspect. They’re at aplace in their life where they like to bearound other people their age, and[here] they’re doing art along the way.”

Some of the adults are first-timers,some come to Eagan Art House to recap-ture art interests from the past.

“Later in life sometimes you havetime to do different things that you did-n’t have the time for before,” Andersensaid. “Maybe they took up art in highschool or college, but hadn’t done itsince.”

A partnershipAndersen is the primary operator

and day-to-day caretaker of Eagan ArtHouse, but the organization would notbe possible without the assistance ofother nonprofit groups and the city ofEagan.

Eagan Art House is called a “house”because it was once was. Before beingreconfigured into an art center, thequaint, one-story rambler that sits onthe front lawn of Patrick Eagan Parkwas initially a family home.

In the 1980s, the house and its plot ofpark property were acquired by the city,according to Parks and RecreationDepartment Director Juli SeydellJohnson. Following the acquisition,Johnson said, the house and propertywere leased to Dakota Center for theArts for $1 per year until 2007.

The city has always owned the prop-erty, operations were officially turnedover from Dakota Center of the Arts tothe city that year. This is not to be con-fused with the official opening – and thefirst classes – of the Eagan Art House in1997.

Andersen said the Eagan Parks andRecreations Department, Dakota Centerfor the Arts and Eagan Art House, havebeen partners for many years. She saidshe is very thankful for SeydellJohnson and for her department’sinvolvement with the Eagan Art House.

“She was very instrumental in mak-ing that happen in 2007,” Anderson said,regarding Seydell Johnson and officialownership being accrued by her depart-ment in 2007.

Andersen also credited DakotaCenter for the Arts, other nonprofitgroups and the various grants the Househas been able to receive.

Wanda Borman, a teacher at the ArtHouse, is the director of both the DakotaCenter for the Arts and the Eagan ArtsFestival, shared her thanks for the city’sinvolvement with Eagan Art House,specifically with the organization’s pro-gramming and its location. She said theart center was included the city’s long-term plans for Patrick Eagan Park,which she feels is an ideal location forthe art center.

“The Art House became an integralpart of [Eagan’s plans for Patrick EaganPark],” Borman said. “Which was great,because it’s wonderful to be located on anatural site, where the teachers can takeclasses outdoors for plain-air painting[and] younger kids can go out for arecess or to pick up nature to make a col-lage. There are a lot of big advantagesbeyond the partnership, just with thelocation [alone].”

As a city representative, SeydellJohnson also spoke of the Eagan ArtHouse’s value to the community.

“The Eagan Art House is importantto Eagan because it provides opportuni-ties for everyone, no matter their age orability, to experience creating art inmany forms,” Seydell Johnson said. “[It]provides a friendly and low-stress envi-ronment for first-timers to try paintingor drawing or making pottery. For themore experienced artist, the Eagan ArtHouse provides a supportive community

of artists in which to grow and expandthe arts dialogue.”

Looking to the futureThe Eagan Art House was recently

awarded a Creative IntersectionsGrant from the Metropolitan RegionalArts Council.

Andersen and Borman said they areusing the grant to reach out to thecommunity. The two have been con-tacting Eagan citizens to get theirfeedback on Eagan Art House, andtheir thoughts on art and its usethroughout the city.

“I really think that there’s a grass-roots groundswell of art support in ourcommunity,” Andersen said. “Peoplewant more, they want to see more, theywant to do more.”

“It’s about bringing people in andsaying, ‘if you could dream about whatthe arts would look like in Eagan, whatwould you see?’” said Borman.

They have been seeking feedbackthrough whatever means possible.Borman has been working with herDakota Center for the Arts council. Thetwo have also been working with cham-ber of commerce, talking to neighbors,hosting focus groups and havingdialogs with local residents.

“I could sit here and run paintingclasses for the next 20 years, but I thinkbecause we are such a strong, commu-nity-minded organization, it’s reallyimportant for us to reach out to thecommunity,” Andersen said. “See whatEagan wants for the arts...[set] a foun-dation for the arts to be the fiber of thecommunity.”

Andersen encourages anybody whowould like to contribute their thoughtsand ideas to go to the Eagan Art Houseto visit the organization’s website(http://xr.com/kglw) and click the linkat the end of the statement, “Completeour Monkey Survey questionnaire.”People can also contact Andersen at651-675-5521 for an informal interviewor to be a part of a group discussion.

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

She was nominated three times, andthe third time materialized as theproverbial charm.

Dakota County TechnicalCollege instructor Jill Behnkewas named the 2011 OutstandingInstructor of the Year Friday,May 6, during a focus event onthe college’s Rosemount campus.The award represents the high-est honor DCTC bestows on a fac-ulty member. Behnke, an instruc-tor in the Early Childhood andYouth Development program,started at DCTC in 1985, and since thattime has been nominated for the awardon two previous occasions and attrib-utes her being nominated to her philoso-phy in the classroom.

“I march to the beat of my own drum-mer,” Behnke said. “We laugh, we sing,we share treats.”

Behnke explained how she combinesher philosophy with several teachingmethods.

“Knowledge can come through read-ing, lecture, interaction with peers, fieldtrips, guest speakers and hands-onopportunities,” she said. “It is impor-tant to provide all these learning meth-ods in an environment that is stimulat-ing, accepting and entertaining.”

Ultimately, according to Behnke, thecasual atmosphere she strives to createin her classrooms and her relationshipswith students combined with hard workis a good formula for success.

Audrey Krinke, a student of Behnkeand resident of Hampton, said thatBehnke has an ability to relate to andunderstand her students very well. Asone example, Krinke explained if a stu-dent doesn’t understand something,Behnke takes the extra time to help himor her until they do.

In one particular situation, Krinkereceived a note from Behnke about see-ing her privately.

“I was so afraid I was going to be introuble,” she said, adding that Behnke tothe contrary, Behnke was very calm, car-

ing and understanding. “She isjust a really great teacher in thatway.”

After Behnke learned that shehad once again been nominatedfor the annual award, that is ini-tially student-driven, all of theclichés went through her mind:“three strikes, you’re out,”“Always a bridesmaid never abride,” and, of course, “The third

time is the charm.”When Behnke learned she won this

year, she was quite touched by the honor.At the same time, however, she felt satis-faction that her hard work had paid off.

“I am humbled that the studentsthink that much of me, but also I haveworked very hard for this,” Behnkeexplained.

Kelly Murtaugh, vice president ofacademic and student affairs at DCTC,explained just a little how the internalnomination process works.

“It is the students’ perception, whatthey perceive as an instructor whoembodies the qualities…as Teacher ofthe Year,” Murtaugh said.

“[Behnke] definitely takes the time toget to know all of her students on a per-sonal level,” Krinke said. “I think welearn better from her because she doesopen up so much. I wanted to crybecause I was so happy for her. Shemakes me strive to be as great of ateacher she is. I was thrilled. I wasabsolutely thrilled.”

For being selected as the 2011Outstanding Instructor of the Year,Behnke received a medallion and willget to lead the grand procession duringDCTC’s graduation ceremonies.

by Mindy MateuszczykLike any typical mom, Julia Sawyer, of

Eden Prairie, spent the first year of herson’s life enamored by him, delighting ineach new milestone.

Then as he headed into his second year,she began to notice changes, setbacks. By2.5 years of age, Sawyer’s son was diag-nosed with autism.

“He was considered pretty severe,” shesaid. “He couldn’t talk, didn’t make anytypes of babbling and just did a lot of handflapping.”

He also struggled with following direc-tions. That’s when Sawyer met TaraBertone. Sawyer said that was the begin-ning of the journey to where they are nowtoday, with her son participating in themainstream curriculum for seventh grade,participating in track and generally, a verysmart 13-year-old.

THERAPIESBertone began working with autistic

children in 1996 as a behavior therapist.She later earned her master’s degree inspeech and language pathology.

“I noticed kids either get a behavioralprogram or parents take their kids tospeech, but the therapies were separate,”said Bertone. Throughout her educationand experience, Bertone witnessed first-hand the benefits of applied behavioranalysis (ABA) therapy as well as verbalbehavior therapy but was disappointed bythe lack of collaboration with speech-lan-guage pathologists.

According to Bertone, although ABAprofessionals are proficient in teachingnew skills, rarely did a speech-languagepathologist play a significant role in thedevelopment of curriculum and programmanagement, which are primarily lan-guage and communication-based.

Her passion for helping kids drove her tocreate Autism Matters, a center that strivesto address the disconnect between thesetwo disciplines.

“We did some research and found therewere very few services in the area,” shesaid. “That was the catalyst to opening acenter in Rogers.”

Services include speech-languageassessments, speech-language therapy,oral-motor therapy using TalkTools,VB/ABA intensive intervention, occupa-

tional therapy, academic tutoring, self-helpskills training and parent training andresources. Sawyer’s son received therapiesfrom the Minnetonka location, whereSawyer found having multiple servicesunder one roof beneficial. Many autisticchildren are recommended to participatein 20 to 40 hours of intensive therapy thatcan be demanding on parents and familiesif services are located far away and scattered throughout the area.

Another benefit for Sawyer was havingher son’s therapists all on the same pageand not having to go through the emotionaland mental rigors of playing messengerbetween them.

“If you’re taking your child to five different places, it becomes your job to ensuretherapist A knows what therapist B isdoing,” Sawyer said. “Here, they all meetwith you as a team.”

“The consistency piece is critical,”Sawyer said. “If everyone was throwing different stuff at him he wouldn’t have madethe same level of progress. At AutismMatters, all the therapists use the sametechniques and same philosophy.”

Many times in other therapy plans treatment is set up so the focus is first on thebehaviors. But Sawyer said she’s foundAutism Matters to be unique in thatBertone approaches therapy from a mindset of improving the child’s communication and language skills first.

NO CHILD ALIKEAutism Spectrum Disorders present

themselves in such different ways fromchild to child. Sawyer said no two childrenwith it necessarily look alike. There is alsoconflicting information on what causes itand what can be done for children to makeprogress. Because of this, Sawyer said theemotional toll is especially great.

“With autism, you often already feel isolated by the time you receive your child’sdiagnosis. You have probably withdrawnfrom doing some of the typical things parents do like play dates or outings because ofissues with your child,” she said.

She works to get the message to otherparents going through this same journeythat there is hope.

“I was basically given no hope back thenI was told my child would never talk, andnow he does,” she said.

Are your file cabinets overflow-ing? Are you awash in a sea ofold checks, bank statements

and pay stubs? Get organized with aplan that purges the unnecessary andensures you’ve saved what you need tokeep the IRS happy should they comecalling.

What to keep and what to tossWhile it’s tempting to hang onto

every piece of paper in case you need it,there are documents you can go aheadand get rid of, say financial planningexperts at Minnesota Society ofCertified Public Accountants (MNCPA).Reducing that burden will help you bemore organized with the documents youdo need to keep.

How long to keep itIRS Publication 552: Recordkeeping

for Individuals is available on the IRSwebsite and describes basic records youshould keep to prove your income andexpenses. You can use it along with thesuggestions in this article to create yourown “Record Retention Plan.” It can bea simple document – a checklist – of allthe different kinds of paperwork youhave and your decision about how longto keep each type.

Copies of tax returns. Keep theseas part of your tax records. They canhelp you prepare future returns, andyou will need them if you file an amend-ed return. Keep copies of your taxreturns for six years.

Year-end mutual fund and broker-age statements. Keep the year-end ver-

sions for at least three years after thedue date of your tax return. If you areself-employed and, when you preparedyour tax returns you owed the IRSmoney, you should keep all your recordsat least six years. That’s how long theIRS has to come back to conduct anaudit. Some financial planning expertsadvise self-employed workers to keep allfinancial records for at least six years.

Cancelled checks, old receipts.Keep these for three years after the dateof your return, and then it’s safe to getrid of them. But if you’re self-employed,keep your receipts for at least six years.

Receipts for major home improve-ments. Hang on to receipts for majorhome improvements. These should bekept until the property is sold – theymight be needed in order to show the

actual cost of the home in some tax sit-uations. They may also come in handy ifyou want to show potential buyers howmuch you’ve spent to upgrade the prop-erty.

Bank records. Go through yourchecks each year. Set aside and retainthose related to your taxes, businessexpenses, home improvements andmortgage payments according to yourrecord retention plan. You should keepall bank records for at least a year.

Loan documents. When a loan ispaid off you can get rid of the docu-ments, but make sure you receive theofficial title or deed first.

Receipts for big ticket items.Receipts for jewelry, rugs, appliances,

Hearing loss affects more than 34 millionAmericans. If detected early, it may be a pre-ventable chronic disease. Here are 10 ways to

help prevent, delay or reduce the extent of hearingloss.

1. Noise exposure. Are you one of those listening toiPods, shooting firearms, riding motorbikes, or work-ing with lawn and garden tools? These devices arecausing hearing loss at alarmingly high rates. Wearhearing protectors or avoid exposure to loud sounds.Turn down the volume and reduce the length of timeyou listen to your iPod or mp3 player. Studies show thatpeople who wear noise canceling or noise reductionearphones with iPod or mp3 players typically listen tomusic at safer levels.

2. Cotton swabs. Cotton swabs and ear candling areunhealthy practices to remove earwax, to clean orscratch your ear canals. Don't use cotton swabs to cleaninside your ear canal. It can push the earwax in further

and you could puncture your eardrum.3. Smoking tobacco and second-hand smoke. Studies

suggest that chronic nicotine exposure impairs thebrain's ability to "hear" and interpret sound. Alongwith the other reasons to stop smoking, you can reduceyour likelihood of greater hearing loss if you quit orstay out of smoky places.

4. Diabetes. Diabetics are twice as likely to havehearing loss. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining properweight and daily exercise can help you avoid type 2 dia-betes.

5. Alcohol. Too much alcohol can contribute to perma-nent hearing loss. Recently, researchers found thatdrinking 2 beers in a half an hour can cause temporaryhearing loss for up to 16 hours.

6. Solvents. Organic solvents (such as styrene andtoluene) are commonly found in paints, lacquers andindustrial printing inks. Studies have shown that thesesubstances have a negative effect on your hearing.

7. Medications. There are at least 96 different drugsthat may cause permanent or temporary hearing loss.When you stop taking aspirin and aspirin-containingdrugs, your hearing may come back. Excessive use ofNonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, cisplatin (acancer drug) and erectile dysfunction drugs can alsocause hearing loss.

8. Antioxidants. Antioxidants and vitamin supple-ments may help prevent hearing loss. Hearing loss due toaging may be prevented with a combination of antioxi-dants, mineral and vitamin supplements such as folicacid and magnesium.

9. Your heart. Newly published reports show that ahealthy cardiovascular system increases the likelihoodof maintaining hearing, particularly among olderadults.

10. See an audiologist. If you think you may havehearing loss, an audiologist will test, monitor and offersolutions to help you function better.

People who already receive SocialSecurity retirement benefits at age 65 donot need to apply for Medicare; they willbe automatically enrolled.

However, if you are eligible to collectSocial Security and you are going tokeep working past your 65th birthday,it’s a good idea to inquire aboutMedicare within four months of reach-ing age 65. Even if you decide to waituntil after age 65 to apply for your retire-ment benefits, you can apply forMedicare hospital insurance (Part A) atage 65.

There is no charge for Medicare hos-pital insurance (Part A) since youalready paid for it by working and pay-ing Medicare tax. There is a monthlypremium for Medicare medical insur-ance (Part B), however.

IMPORTANT: If you are activelyworking and you have grouphealth insurance through your employ-er when you become eligible forMedicare, you may want to defer Part Buntil you stop working or until youremployer group health coverage ends.(At that point you could qualify for a“special enrollment period,” with nopremium penalty or surcharge.) Tolearn more about this and otherMedicare considerations, read ouronline publication, Medicare, atsocialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html. Orcall Social Security toll-free at 1-800-772-1213. Or talk to your employer.Still other Medicare resources are1-800-MEDICARE, and the MNSenior Linkage Line at 1-800-333-2433.Finally, there’s a fast, convenient,and simple way to apply online forMedicare in as little as 10 minutes —even if you’re not ready to receiveretirement benefits. Just visitwww.socialsecurity.gov/ medicareonly.

selection and a much bigger children’sarea,” she said, adding that she uses herScott County library card at Burnhaven.“My kids are getting older, but I still liketo use the kids’ reference books.Selection is what’s important to me.”

In addition to an increased variety ofbooks, a dozen new computers in a newcomputer lab can be used for educationalclasses or for public use. Classes aretaught through the library system andare open to the public.

Burnhaven also now has a new licensecenter where residents can obtain vehi-cle registrations, birth certificates andfishing licenses that will open later in themonth.

“It’s a convenience for residents sothey can use the library and the licensecenter at the same time, and it’s also cost-saving for the county because now theydon’t have to rent retail space and will beable to use a county building,” Wissersaid.

Convenience is key, and the new fea-tures of Burnhaven are designed to pro-mote that. Patrons can now return booksfrom the comfort of their own cars witha new drive-by book drop. Books are alsonow checked in using radio frequencyidentification chips to streamline theprocess to avoid manually checking ineach book.

“You can go online and pick out thebook you want and they’ll send it here,so it’s very convenient,” Burnsvilleresident Elizabeth Jelmo said abouther decision to come back to theBurnhaven Library. She added that shehas been going to the Apple Valleylibrary but expects to come toBurnsville’s with her young childrenat least once a week. “They have a nicekids’ area. I like that it’s a little small-er and there aren’t as many peoplehere.”

For the 25 employees and 400,000annual visitors, the changes will usherin a new era of readership for DakotaCounty residents.

“The new entrance is welcoming,and there’s a lot more room and a lotmore computer space,” Karen Johnsonsaid. “I think it looks just great.”

It’s never easy to be a teenager, butwhen you are a teenaged bear with apropensity to travel, there aren’t manyplaces in the suburbs that you can fit in.

Such seems to be the case with arecent visitor to Apple Valley. TheApple Valley Police Departmentreceived three calls about the sightingof a juvenile black bear Wednesday,May 11, and officers responding to thescene discovered tracks leading author-ities to believe the sightings were credi-ble.

The bear was spotted in residentialareas south of 140th Street betweenGalaxie Avenue and Pilot Knob Road,and north of 145th Street. It’s anuncommon call for police, but for theMinnesota Department of NaturalResources, it’s common for this time ofyear for northern suburbs.

“This is the time of the year, and atypical call for us, for [reports of] youngbears that have been displaced as theirmothers entered a breeding season,”said DNR representative Bryan Lueth.“Teenage bears are looking for goodspots in the world, and some individu-als like to travel, for some reason. If itfound area with secure food, it wouldsettle down. But in an urban area, theytend to keep moving.”

Lueth said that it is common to getbear calls in the northern suburbs ofthe Twin Cities, closer to the black

bears’ natural habitat range, but a callfrom as far south as Apple Valley isatypical. He speculated that this partic-ular bear does not travel during thedaytime, and was likely able to movelong distances using park and river cor-ridors in the area. It’s reasonable, hesaid, to assume that the bear came fromnorthern Minnesota.

“They don’t post danger to people ifprecautions are taken,” Lueth said.“The typical Apple Valley resident does-n’t have a lot to worry about, but we askresidents in the northern suburbswhether they really want to feed birds,because bird feeders are a number onebear attractant. Coming out of hiberna-tion, bears need a high-calorie foodsource, and bird seed is the jackpot.”

“This is the first [bear call] that I canremember,” said police Captain MichaelMarben.

The first call about the bear came inaround 9:45 p.m., when a homeownerreported it walking through a front yardon a sidewalk. It was next reportedwalking through back yard towardsAndy’s Market, and its last known posi-tion, stemming from a third call, was onPilot Knob Road heading into a residen-tial area. Officers discovered the tracksat 140th Street and Fleetwood Avenue.

Marben says that people should justleave the bear alone if they spot it;More information can be found onlinein a pamphlet, “Learning to Live withBears,” at http://bit.ly/jKb384.

over the years, to a point now where shecan make history.

“In order to get her into competitivetrap shooting, she had to take thefirearms safety training. I sat with herthrough several trap shooting videos,how-to type videos,” Mark said, addingthat both training sources helped herunderstand not only how to shoot butalso what a good gun-fit was, “becausegun-fit is probably the most importantthing to be able to shoot well.”

At this time Kelsey was still a littletoo small to comfortably handle theweapon. Soon after this, Mark boughther a gun specifically designed forsmaller women to shoot trap. The mainadvantage of these types of guns, Marksaid, was their adjustable components.

“That was late in the summer, so wedidn’t get back out there until the nextspring,” Mark said. “Over the years, sheimproved along the way.”

Kelsey continued to work hard,according to her father, who added thatshe attended a couple shooting clinics toaid her development. She participated inmany shooting competitions over thefollowing years, winning several at 14and 15 years old. The events brought herto Forest Lake, Owatonna, and Buffalo,Minn.

As Kelsey’s skills continued to devel-op, she continued competing and win-ning larger-scale competitions.

“I went to the Minnesota state shootthat year when I was 15,” she said,adding it was her first time. “I guess Ihad a very successful competition. I shotbetter than I ever had before.”

Soon, her skills developed to a pointwhere she was recognized nationally byvirtue of being named to the All-American team twice.

“After two years of placement on theAll-American team, I decided that I hadachieved my goal,” Kelsey said. “Uponachievement, I had to set a new goal.”

She knew immediately that her goalwas to win a gold medal at the Olympics.

Eventually, Kelsey made the all-

important change of shooting Americantrap to international trap, a change thatdid not necessarily come easy. Kelseysaid there were many differences thatmade the switch more challenging.

“The targets can be presented at anyangle within 22 degrees left or right ofcenter,” Kelsey explained, referring toAmerican trap, but in internationaltrap, “There are 15 machines belowground, and the angles vary 45 degreesleft and right of center.”

Citing the other differences, Kelseysaid the targets are moving 62-75 milesper hour, and they are thrown 80 metersinstead of 50 yards.

Her goal of winning an Olympic goldprompted the hopeful to leave Kerrville,Texas, where she trained from February2008 to February 2011, at which time shearrived in Colorado to live and train atthe USA Shooting facility for yet moretraining.

“I’m at the range shooting from 9 a.m.to 2 p.m. six days a week, Monday-Saturday,” she said, adding that she seesa sports neurologist. “Basically, sportsneurology teaches you to tap into and

control your brainwaves.”She added that the objective of the

sports neurology was to execute a shotwhile on a specific brainwave, shoot onone while shooting on another. Kelseyalso applies this philosophy to theOlympics, at least in her mind’s eye, fornow.

“My personal coach said you have tohave actually thought you’ve won itbefore you have in reality,” she noted.

The last 1,200 days, for the most part,have been all about training, and Kelseysaid she has visualized standing on topof the podium and hearing the nationalanthem.

“I say I represent my god first, coun-try second, and myself third,” Kelseysaid, “and I definitely want to see myfamily in the stands.”

For Mark, nothing could make afather more proud than seeing hisdaughter succeed at such an elite level,and potentially winning a gold medal.Understandably emotional, Mark saidnext to the births of his daughters, “Ican’t think of anything that would makeme more proud.”

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Sadie Simmons never realized that ahobby could become a fast-growing busi-ness venture.

The Rosemount woman may still be inthe early stages of growing Sadie’s HandPainted Tack, her home-based horseaccessory business, but since her firstsale, she has been very surprised withhow quickly and how many orders arebeing placed.

All of this, however, did not comewithout a little help from modern tech-nology – Facebook.

“One typical picture I will post willreach about 250,000 people,” Simmonssaid, “And my page itself is seen in 20different countries and is translated into19 different languages.”

The lifelong art as well as drawinghobbyist started Sadie’s Hand PaintedTack in January 2010 to make a hand-

painted tack set for her husband, Chris.“I wanted this to last, I wanted it to be

rough and tumble,” Simmons noted.“Friends started noticing it, and thenmy friend instantly wanted some. So Istarted doing some for my friends. It alljust kind of took off from there.”

As time passed, the number of thoseseeing Simmons’s artwork grew.Eventually, people from outside her cir-cle of friends expressed interest in herwork. Now, close to 4,500 people look ather Facebook page and website, and sheships between 6-10 orders per week.

With her artistic leanings, combinedwith a background that includes being amember of the National Art HonorSociety in high school and attending theCollege of Visual Arts in St. Paul for ayear-and-a-half, Simmons works withher customers to customize their ordersto their likings.

“People can customize their tack in

any way they want, which people arereally starting to enjoy,” Simmons saidabout customized tack sets. “It’s reallystarting to hit the horse world in a bigway.”

The artisan begins with raw leather,unfinished and unstained, along with aconversation with a customer about thedesign and any other ideas.

“Whatever item I’m painting, we’veworked out all the colors,” she noted. “Ihave sent them sketches, some ideas, andI just start painting.”

Depending on the difficulty of thedesign and the piece she is working on,she usually completes her handiwork foreach order in about one week.

“Anything leather I’m pretty open topainting, but I try to stick to tack,” shesaid, adding she has painted, at least onone occasion, a leather wallet.

Since starting her endeavor, she saidthere is one person in particular she con-

siders as more than a customer, a testa-ment to her hands-on approach.

“She is actually from Wyoming, andwe correspond almost everyday overemail. She sends me pictures of herdaughter and her daughter’s tack,”Simmons said. “She has purchasedalmost every item that she possiblycould from me. She just loves it.”

As for her future plans, Simmons iscontent continuing her retail businessfor now. She plans on attending nextyear’s Minnesota Horse Expo in late-April.

“That will be the largest step in show-ing an abundance of people who I amand what I do,” Simmons explained. “Inever imagined that my hobby of doo-dling in notebooks and other thingswould turn into a business,” she said.

Kochevar well on theway to recoveryAfter frightening on-iceaccident, Lakeville Northgirls hockey coachplans to be back nextseasonBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Buck Kochevar has been spending alot of time with his children. He hasbeen in the yard, getting it ready forspring. He even has learned to toleratewashing dishes.

If all of this seems routine, well,right now routine is good for the

Kochevar family. And it’s a whole lot bet-ter than the alternative.

It’s been about three months sinceKochevar fractured his skull in a fright-ening on-ice accident during a LakevilleNorth girls hockey practice. He contin-ues to undergo therapy, but thePanthers’ head coach and Lakeville ele-mentary school teacher is on track toreturn to his normal duties soonerrather than later.

He said last week he expects to returnto the classroom for the 2011-12 schoolyear. He also plans to be with the hockeyteam when it starts its summer programin June.

“The doctors say I’m six monthsahead of schedule right now,” Kochevar

COACH: TO PAGE 31

Until they meet again?Blaze, Lightning aiming fortop section seedsBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville’s 8-4 victory over Eastviewon May 12 gave the South SuburbanConference baseball powers a split intheir regular-season series. Nobody willbe surprised if they get a chance to breakthe tie in the upcoming section playoffs.

The Blaze’s victory not only gave it aone-game lead over Eastview headinginto the final week of the regular season,it provided Burnsville with a needed psy-chological boost. Eastview beatBurnsville 5-4 in the teams’ previousmeeting April 18.

Although Burnsville coach MickScholl tried to downplay the significanceof last week’s game, his players weren’tnecessarily going along with it.

“This game was really important,”said winning pitcher Quinn Johnson,who worked the first six innings. “Theybeat us the first time and we wanted tosend a message, let them know we’ll behere next time.”

If there is a next time. The Class 3A,Section 3 playoffs are scheduled to beginMay 27, and the fifth-ranked Blaze (14-3overall) and seventh-ranked Lightning(12-5) could be the top two seeds.

Burnsville also took a one-game leadover Eastview in the South Suburban,and the conference title still could be upfor grabs when the league schedule con-cludes Saturday, May 21, at the confer-ence showcase at Alimagnet Park. All 10teams will be in action that day.

Three hits, an Eastview error and sev-eral walks and hit batters led to a six-runsecond inning for Burnsville. Eastview,which hit the ball harder than its total offour hits would indicate, was not able torecover.

“Our pitcher [Adam Moorse] had atough time gripping the ball” in the cold,wet weather, Eastview coach Tom Streysaid. “That’s not an excuse; theBurnsville kids pitched in the same con-

ditions. Adam was just a little bit off. He’spitched on varsity before and done reallywell.”

Moorse had a 2.05 earned-run averageand only six walks in 27 1/3 inningsbefore last week’s game againstBurnsville.

Burnsville catcher Justin Threlkeldwas 3-for-3 with a triple and two runsscored. Derek Johnson had a two-run sin-gle in the pivotal second inning.

Quinn Johnson allowed four hits andthree earned runs in six innings as heimproved to 4-0.

“We tried to keep it low-key,” Schollsaid, “but it’s easy for our kids to getexcited about this game becauseEastview is a good team with outstand-ing athletes. If you can beat Eastview, it’sa great win.”

Eastview outfielder Matt Larson had atwo-out, two-run double in the thirdinning to get his team on the scoreboard.David Barry drove in a run with a sacri-fice fly in the sixth. Pinch-hitter ChrisNarum drove in Scott Nelson with a sin-gle in the seventh.

Burnsville broke out of a brief offen-sive slump. Earlier last week, the Blazehad just three hits in a 9-1 loss to AppleValley and slipped past Rosemount 3-1,scoring all its runs in one inning.

As for Eastview, “we hit the ball well,”Strey said. “We hit into a couple of dou-ble plays and when that happens in highschool, it’s usually a hard-hit ball.

“I like that we kept battling back afterthe big inning. I think we’re right there.”

Eastview will play Lakeville North atnoon Saturday in the conference show-case at Alimagnet Park. Burnsville playsLakeville South in the final game of theday at 6 p.m.

The Blaze and Lightning are likely toreceive first-round byes in the Section 3playoffs. The top five seeds get byes andwill have their first section games May 31.


Rough inning doesn’t cost Cougars a victoryBaseball team hangs onto beat crosstown rival7-6BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville South’s nagging tendencyto have one bad inning a game might beamusing to Al Iversen, if he weren’t incharge of getting the Cougars to breakout of that rut.

On May 12, at least, the Cougars atleast could be relieved that a bad inningdidn’t cost them a victory. They wereseemingly cruising against crosstownrival Lakeville North, leading by sevenruns in the top of the seventh inningbefore having to sweat out a 7-6 win.

“The whole season’s been like that,”Iversen said. “We did that against PriorLake, Eagan, Eastview. AgainstBurnsville, we led 3-0 and lost 14-3. But[in the Lakeville North game], I thinkthe kids started to believe in them-selves.”

For six inning against North, theCougars combined solid pitching, time-ly hitting and sharp defense.

It’s times like that, Iversen said,when the Cougars show they can playwith anybody in their playoff section.

South pitcher Matt Heilmann took ano-hitter into the sixth inning of thegame at Fredrickson Field in Elkobefore Lakeville North’s Austin Streitbroke it up with a single.

In the seventh, North’s AlexHanneman and Jake Berg hit back-to-back doubles to get the Panthers theirfirst run. Later in the inning, a two-runsingle by Bert Pierkarski made it 7-5.

The first pitch from reliever NateGelle – the third pitcher used by Southin the seventh – was in the dirt and wentto the backstop, scoring a run to bringNorth within 7-6. With two outs and thepotential go-ahead run on second base,Hanneman lined out to shortstop to endthe threat.

Derek Buermann’s two-run single inthe fourth inning extended South’s leadto 5-0. Alex Continenza doubled in a run,then scored on a wild pitch to make it 7-0.

South’s victory gave the Cougars asweep of the regular-season series withNorth for the first time in school history.But the Cougars have struggled to playconsistently well, as their 6-10 overallrecord (4-10 in the South SuburbanConference) attests.

Still, “we’ve made a big leap for-ward,” said Iversen, who is in his first

season as South’s head coach after 10years at Apple Valley. “We’re taking careof the little details, like our fieldersbeing aware of where our pitcher is try-ing to throw the ball and moving thatway.”

Neither Lakeville South norLakeville North (9-8, 8-6) is in contentionfor the South Suburban title, so bothteams’ concern in the final week of theregular season was positioning them-selves for a playoff run.

North has a chance for a first-roundbye in the Class 3A, Section 3 playoffswith a strong regular-season finish. Afirst-round bye might be out of South’sreach even if it wins its final four regu-lar-season games.

The Lakeville teams will be part ofthe South Suburban ConferenceShowcase on Saturday, May 21, atAlimagnet Park in Burnsville. Both

were in a position to be spoilers.Lakeville North plays at noon

Saturday against Eastview, which start-ed the week in second place in the SSC,one game behind Burnsville. LakevilleSouth plays Burnsville in the finalgame of the day at 6 p.m.

The Section 3 playoffs are scheduledto start May 27. The section has a repu-tation for lower-seeded teams gettinghot and taking the title.

Iversen coached one team to make itto state that way. His 2006 Apple Valleyteam was a sixth seed in the playoffs,but the Eagles won their section as wellas the state tournament.

Teams don’t necessarily think interms of winning the section when theplayoffs start, Iversen said.

“The goal is to get to the final fourbecause you don’t know what you’ll runinto when you get there,” he said.

Notebook: SouthSuburban BaseballShowcase closesregular seasonBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The South Suburban Conference willplay its final round of regular-seasonbaseball games on one day and in oneplace.

Called the South Suburban BaseballShowcase, the event will be Saturday, May21, at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. All 10SSC teams will be in action.

The conference championship alsocould be on the line. Burnsville startedthe week 12-2 in league play and held aone-game lead over Eastview. Each teamhad three SSC games remaining. AppleValley (9-5) was the only other team witha chance to earn a share of the title goinginto the week.

Eastview plays Lakeville North (8-6) atnoon. Burnsville takes on LakevilleSouth (4-10) in the final game of the day at6 p.m.

In other games, Eagan (8-6) playsRosemount (2-12) at 11 a.m., Apple Valleyfaces Prior Lake (7-7) at 2:30 p.m. andBloomington Kennedy (5-9) playsBloomington Jefferson (4-10) at 4 p.m.

Blaze clinchesAfter clinching the South Suburban

Conference championship outright lastweek, Burnsville’s softball team tried tocomplete an undefeated run through theleague when it played Apple Valley onMay 16.

Burnsville beat Lakeville North 4-2and Prior Lake 11-0 last week. The victoryover North on May 10 gave Burnsville theoutright championship.

Megan Lehnen’s two-run double was akey hit in the second inning againstLakeville North.

Kelsey Anderson hit two home runs,drove in five runs and pitched a two-hitshutout with 12 strikeouts against PriorLake.

Defending state Class 3A championBurnsville is expected to be the No. 1 seedin the Section 3 playoffs. Pairings had notbeen determined when this edition wentto press, but Burnsville will play its sec-tion opener at home Monday, May 23.

Other contenders for the section titleinclude Bloomington Jefferson, whichstarted the week in second place in the

said. “That could possibly change, butall the tests indicate I’ll be ready to go forthe first week of school.”

That doesn’t come as a surprise toRich Schrick, Lakeville North’s assis-tant coach and a man Kochevardescribes as his best friend.

“The guy’s a fighter. He’s going to dowhatever he has to do to get himselfright,” Schrick said. “This thing reallyscared him, but he wants to get back.”

Kochevar sustained the skull fracturewhen he fell and struck the back of hishead on the ice during a Feb. 14 practiceat Ames Arena.

“One thing I couldn’t believe was howcalm and collected the girls were,” saidSchrick, an elementary school teacherin Apple Valley. “Some of them got coatsand blankets. One of them called 911. Itwas amazing.”

Kochevar had some internal bleedingbetween the skull and the tissue thatprotects the brain. He was first taken toFairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsvillebefore being transported by helicopter tothe University of Minnesota Hospital,where he underwent two hours of sur-

gery.Meanwhile, the team had to prepare

for a game. The Panthers playedFarmington in the Section 1AA semifi-nals the next day. They had a two-goallead with 9:45 left in the third period buteventually lost 5-4 in triple overtime.

The loss was especially painfulbecause the Panthers had dedicated therest of their season to Kochevar.

The next day the assistant coachesand the players who could get excusedfrom school went to see Kochevar at thehospital. The coach said he was proud ofthem.

“I told the kids the same thing at ourteam banquet,” he said. “With all thethings that went on, for them to go on theway they did was a real victory. They dida great job.”

Two weeks after the accident,Kochevar was sent home to continue hisrecovery. He’s been to Crystal LakeElementary to see his students and visitthe staff. His players come to his houseperiodically to check on his progress.

The post-operation headaches, earpain and vertigo have disappeared.Kochevar goes to speech therapy twice aweek, where therapists also check on hiscognitive skills. The nerves that controlsmell and taste have been described as“resting,” and Kochevar hasn’t yet

regained those senses.He still needs plenty of rest and has to

take things slowly. Schrick saidKochevar was annoyed that he couldn’twet a line during last weekend’s fishingopener. He also is unlikely to make itEveleth this summer for his hometown’sFourth of July celebration. Kochevarruns the clown band that marches in theparade.

When he returns to coaching, therewill be some changes. He is not expectedto be allowed on the ice for a year, whichmeans his coaching, even in practice,will be done entirely from the bench.

Also, all Lakeville North girls coacheswill wear helmets when they’re on theice in practice. Youth coaches inMinnesota are required to wear helmetson the ice, but the Minnesota State HighSchool League does not make helmetsmandatory for coaches.

Kochevar said he was humbled by thesupport of friends, neighbors and thecommunity at large. Among otherthings, friends and neighbors broughtmeals for his family (Kochevar and hiswife Lynn have two sons) while theyspent time with him in the hospital andin-patient rehab.

“Of all the things that have happened,[the community support] might be themost eye-opening,” he said.
