Last month, the Flint Hills Resources Training Facility served as one of the host sites in a week- long series of classes for 20 canine units from the across the metro area and Winnipeg, Canada. The team from Winni- peg, heralded as one of the best in North America, was invited to conduct a train- ing session and participate in the classes, one of which was led by Eagan Police Officer Andy Helgerson. In addition to using the Eagan police station and an airfield in South St. Paul, the officers and their canine partners trained at the Flint Hills site, which expects to reach a major milestone in 2011. The building and grounds, which partially opened in 2005, should ex- ceed the 5,000 mark in its number of officers trained this year. That makes Harry Wickhorst, the Hampton resident and Flint Hills construction manager who led the establishment of the training facility, very satisfied. “I love it,” Wickhorst said of being involved with establishment of the fa- cility. “It’s great for the officers. … When we had over 4,500 people use it last year, they really took notice about how important it is for these (officers) to have a place to go to for training.” Wickhorst knows the value of law enforcement having a place to train as he was a sheriff’s deputy before being hired at Flint Hills in 1981. After working with the Fire Ex- plorers through the company, he helped the group train on site start- ing in 1997. The need for a place dedicated for such activities emerged, and Wickhorst identified the place in a building and grounds east of Flint Hills that hadn’t been used for about 15 years. The training grounds opened in 2004, a portion of the building was used in 2005 and a $100,000 Flint Hills grant paid for a full renovation of the building in 2007. The site has an obstacle course for K-9 training and a mock apartment for enacting various response scenari- os. “If you train the right way, you will react the right way,” Wickhorst said. “You have to train to your level of re- sponse.” Prior to establishment of the cen- ter, officers had to search out training grounds is such as places as St. Paul or Fort Ripley north of Little Falls, Minn. Helgerson said scent training with his canine partner is the most impor- tant aspect of their relationship. Ev- ery week he gives his dog a scent trail to find to keep him sharp. Among the places they use for scent and agility training is the Rose- mount site.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 10. Arkley remains in custody at the Ramsey Coun- ty Jail. The fire On Dec. 2, police were dispatched to the home at 4754 W. 142nd St. around 9:15 a.m. on a report that Arkley, possibly distraught over her adult son’s November death from a heroin overdose, had started a fire in the home with gasoline and was threatening to kill herself. When police arrived, Ar- kley was observed stabbing herself in the chest with a screwdriver inside a locked car outside the home. She fled in her vehicle when she saw police, leading officers on a chase that ended in Eagan when police deployed road spikes to deflate her tires, ac- cording to the criminal com- plaint. She was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for self- inflicted stab wounds and burns before being booked into jail. Stuart Arkley, the home’s other listed owner and the only other occupant at the time of the fire, told police that on the morning of the fire he was lying on a bed when his wife entered the room, doused him with gas- oline, threw an oil lamp in his direction and struck him in the head with an exercise weight.

When a corporate down-sizing claimed their jobs at the Heat-N-Glo fireplace company in Lakeville, Rob Sloan and Ross Morrison didn’t miss a step. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience with the industry-leading com-pany, the pair launched their own business, Big Woods Hearth Products in Burnsville. “We often laugh about it,” Sloan said. “We were pretty much in business about a half hour after we were let go. We knew what we wanted to do. We want-ed to stay in the industry.” After launching in June 2009, the five-person com-pany of Heat-N-Glo alum-ni is poised for a transfor-

mative 2012. The company has been profitable from the start, said Sloan, the vice president of sales and origi-nator of many of the com-pany’s product concepts. But with a dozen new products planned for roll-out in the first quarter, Sloan said he’s confident that sales will top $1 million next year. “We’ve done really well our first two years,” he said. “This is the year we expect to take a step.”

Learning fromthe best Morrison and Sloan joined Heat-N-Glo in 1990 and 1991, respectively. The company was founded in Burnsville in 1975 by Dan Shimek and his late broth-

er, Ron. Its 1987 introduc-tion of the direct vent gas fireplace revolutionized the hearth industry, mark-ing a changeover from wood-burning fireplaces to primarily gas-burning fire-places. The gas vent inno-vation allowed installation

of a fireplace in just about any location throughout a home. The company started with a manufacturing plant in Savage. Most of the manufacturing eventually moved to Lake City, but Heat-N-Glo maintained of-fices in Savage until 1999, Sloan said. The company also had a retail store in Burnsville — now a Glow-ing Hearth and Home store owned by Ron Shimek’s son, Tim. Sloan and Morrison came into the hearth indus-try cold — Morrison from Quaker Oats and Sloan from Coca-Cola. “I, too, fell in love with the small company thing and wearing many different hats,” Sloan said, echoing his partner. “Back in those days, we did everything.” Iowa-based Hon Indus-tries bought Heat-N-Glo in 1996 and merged it with its own Heatilator Inc., Mor-rison said. He and his part-ner stayed with Hon-owned

Heat-N-Glo until the down-sizing in April 2009. Armed with personal investments and a bank loan, the pair launched Big Woods Hearth Products with the Hearthwarmer, a fireplace grate with heat-exchange tubes and a fan to circulate heat back into the room. The company grew to in-clude fellow Heat-N-Gloers Rick Berg (vice president of engineering), Gary Butler (vice president of research and development) and Lori Statler (director of market-ing services). Morrison is vice president of marketing and Sloan vice president of sales. With the Hearthwarmer, the company was just heat-ing up.

Innovation Stellar Heart Products is the company’s brand of gas vent fireplaces and the source of most of its inno-vations. The darkened product showroom at the Big Woods office, laboratory and ware-house location on Ewing Avenue in Burnsville puts these innovations on dis-play. The Stellar fireplace units dance with light, color and flame. Mirrored fire-boxes create a visual tunnel effect. Glass panels cut at odd angles shine and reflect multicolored materials in-side the firebox. In addition to the reflective glass “logs,” traditional log replicas are

also available. Decorative fireplace fronts incorporate such fea-tures as LED lighting that enhances the look of the hearth while also highlight-ing walls around the fire-place. Stellar units are designed to deliver maximum deco-rative value even when the flame is on low and using fewer BTUs, Sloan said. Fireplaces, the company insists, are fun. “We decided when we started, we were going to be different,” he said. Stellar now offers two models of “linear,” 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 main-taining a larger viewing area, the company says. The units won two indus-try awards — known as the Vestas — in March at the Hearth, Patio and BBQ As-sociation Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. “We don’t want to be just another me-too manu-facturer,” Sloan said. “We really want to hang our hat on innovation.” Web addresses for the companies are www.big-woodshearth.com and www.stellarhearth.com.

Lights out for Eagan restaurant

by Jessica HarperTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Joe Senser’s Restau-rant and Sports Theater in Eagan closed suddenly on Oct. 30. Shades cover the win-dows of the dark restaurant at 3010 Eagandale Place and a closed sign is taped to the doors. “We’re shocked and sad-dened by this,” said Gerry Goldfarb, manager of the Hampton Inn in Eagan. “It was a very popular location with our guests.” Joe Senser’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. “I’m hoping that the cur-rent owner of the land or

the city of Eagan will find a new restaurant to go there,” he said. City Administrator Tom Hedges said he is confident a new restaurant will fill the empty building. “Both our Eagan con-vention and business bu-reau have been attempting to reach out to the owner of the property and offer help anyway they can,” Hedges said. The recent news took city officials by surprise as well. “We were not aware that they were even consider-ing closing the restaurant,” he said. “Joe Senser’s has been a valued restaurant in Eagan for the past 13 years.” The sports bar and grill opened in 1998 and was among four Twin Cities lo-cations owned by former Vikings player Joe Senser. It is unclear whether em-ployees will be absorbed by

the Bloomington, Plymouth or Roseville locations. Mike Hrudka, director of operations for Joe Sens-er’s, told the Star Tribune that the bar closed due to the tough economy. He also noted the restaurant’s loca-tion requires many turns to get into its parking lot, ac-cording to the report. A sign on the building says gift cards can be re-deemed at other Joe Senser locations. The closure follows recent criminal charges against Senser’s wife. Amy Senser was charged with vehicular homicide in a hit-and-run incident that

killed a Roseville man. Anousone Phathavang was struck and killed Aug. 23 while filling his car with gas on the shoulder of the I-94 and Riverside ramp in Minneapolis. The Sensers waited sev-eral days before coming for-ward and admitting that the family vehicle was involved in the incident. Authorities were not sat-isfied with their coopera-tion, according to recent re-ports.

Opinion

CDA housing is great place to liveTo the editor: On behalf of the resi-dents of Windsor Plaza, we take issue with William Cooley’s statements made in the Oct. 21 story calling Dakota County Commu-nity Development Agency housing “instant slums.” His words seem to have the intent of scaring the city into believing the proposed development will bring with it a group of criminals liv-ing in burned out buildings. However, this is not the case with any of the other CDA properties. Due to the strict resident requirements, there is no reason to believe, the new development would be any different. As longtime residents, we know firsthand the scare tactics used by Mr. Cooley are baseless. Everything from management to main-tenance is handled in a pro-fessional manner. As issues arise, the CDA is quick to address them and works to

find a satisfactory solution. Nothing about the hous-ing is junk or a slum, it is simply a home for many hard-working people look-ing for a place to live out their American dream.

DIANE SAWYERLakeville

Editor’s note: This letter was co-signed by 30 CDA residents.

Haunted Woods Trail a successTo the editor: On behalf of the Rose-mount Halloween Commit-tee, I would like to thank the sponsors that made the Haunted Woods Trail a huge success. For a com-plete list please go to our website at www.rosemoun-tevents.com. Without their help and financial support this event would not happen. And to my co-chair Barb Hester for her help, dedica-tion and direction.

Also many thanks to the volunteers of the Rose-mount Halloween Com-mittee who make this event happen each year. We had over 3,200 people attend on Saturday night. And to the countless vol-unteers who step up to the plate each year and help with carving pumpkins, set-ting up props, handing out candy and help take down all of the props at the end of the night. Your help is much appreciated by the en-tire committee. And finally to my wife, Maureen, for her patience and guidance. In 2012 we will celebrate our 30th anniversary on Saturday, Oct. 27. We look forward to everyone joining us for this special event. If you would like to help us next year or have any comments, please contact us at [email protected].

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 profession-al career as an English teacher and worked her way up to the position of vice president of Da-kota 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 edu-cational scholarships for students at DCTC. Her goal was to fund schol-arships for “education for employment” 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 din-ners, car raffles and go-cart races and is always the first to volun-teer to help with events that give

back directly to the community. She believes in “hands-on” vol-unteering and dedicates her time to ensuring events are successful so that the greatest number of community members can ben-efit. During the past five months Sharon has helped spearhead the annual car raffle for the Apple Valley Rotary Scholarship Foun-dation. She helped organize the fundraiser together with Patrick Selchow and Clint Hooppaw netting the club over $33,000 to support the club’s charitable giv-ing. It’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 Pro-gram’s Head Start program to ensure educational opportunities are available for even the young-est members of our community and has continued this volun-teerism 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 hasn’t been made a better one by Sharon. The local YMCAs, chambers of commerce, Com-munity Action Council, and even School District 196 have all ben-efited directly by her volunteer-ism on their many committees, groups and foundations. Addi-tionally, 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 com-munity 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 educa-tional community are indescrib-able. 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.

Professor Joyce Epstein has a number of startling, research-based views on family involvement. She’s coming to Minneapolis to share her ideas and sugges-tions in a free, public presentation on Nov. 10. Epstein, director of the Center on School, Family, and Commu-nity Partnerships, is a fine speaker, and has been asked to share her research throughout the world. Here are several key things she has discovered: • 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 pro-mote it. She has lots of examples

of what schools can and are doing to encourage family involvement. She’ll share some of this on Nov. 10. • There are six different forms of family involve-ment. They have a different

impact on students. For example, volunteering in your child’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 in-volvement won’t necessarily pro-duce higher achievement for your own child. • The form of family involve-ment that does the most to im-prove student achievement is to help families understand what they can do at home to improve a student’s skills. Many of these

things can be fun, like going to a grocery store and practicing ba-sic math skills. “What’s a better bargain, two half gallons of milk at $2 each, or a gallon that costs $3.50?” • 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 involve-ment. • Each school should have a team that produces a yearly fam-ily 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 stu-dents. Epstein’s federally funded cen-

ter has produced many materials that schools can share with fami-lies to help them with their chil-dren. Some of the best use the fed-eral government has made of our taxes has been to support Epstein’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 Ep-stein and her colleagues have cre-ated. Epstein will be speaking at 6 p.m. Nov. 10, at North High School, 1500 James Ave. in Min-neapolis. Several groups, includ-ing the Center for School Change

(where I work), Minneapolis Pub-lic Schools, Growth and Justice, MinnCan and the Department of Organizational Leadership at the University of Minnesota are co-sponsoring this. Seating is limited. Minnesota Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius will provide a welcome. Please RSVP if you want to at-tend by emailing [email protected]. More information about Ep-stein’s center is available at www.csos.jhu.edu/p2000/center.htm. Joe Nathan, former public school teacher, administrator, PTA presi-dent, parent of three public school graduates, now directs the Center for School Change at Macalester College. He can be reached at [email protected].

energy up is both reward-ing and exhausting. You are cast as a mem-ber of law enforcement. Do you think you make a good cop? I don’t think I would make a particularly good cop. I like the problem-solving aspect, but I don’t know about the stress, dealing with angry people and handling dangerous situations. I give law en-forcement a lot of credit. I’m also far too tempted to play with my fake gun, which I’m guessing is a no-no in real life. What can people expect to see if they attend “Bat Boy”? They can expect, quite simply, a fun show. There are a lot of great char-acters, there is a lot of heart, a lot of humor and ultimately a great message about accepting others even if they are different. Looks like from the pho-to and review that there’s a naked member of the cast. How is that dealt with on stage? What has been audi-ence reaction? The story is about a “bat boy” being found in a cave, and he doesn’t have ac-cess to a department store down there. So the show does begin with some nu-dity. I don’t want to spoil how it’s handled, but I will say that it’s something that adds to the realism of the situation but isn’t blatantly obvious to the audience.

But it is a part of the show. What is your theater background? I grew up in Iowa. My mother was a drama and English teacher and my dad built all of her sets. I first appeared in a produc-tion of “Carousel” at 6 months old. I literally grew up with it, and was often thrown in whenever a kid was needed for something. As I got older, I gravitated more toward singing, per-forming in some of the top choral groups in Iowa. I still consider myself a sing-er, but when I moved to the Twin Cities in 2000, the lo-cal theater community was a great way to meet new people and only have to commit about two months of time to a project. I don’t go from show to show, but I try to do one or two a year. Feel free to add anything else you think might be of interest to local readers. Supporting companies like Minneapolis Musical Theatre and other orga-nizations around the Cit-ies is important, because most of us do this simply because we love it. And I think that comes across on stage. They might not have the best of everything, but these people work, shop, and live right next to you and put it all out there ev-ery night. I believe that de-serves some applause.

the dog’s communi-cation that must be read by the handler. “It is harder to teach the human than it is the dog,” Helgerson said. “Since they don’t know how to talk, we have to learn to see their cues.” It’s also important be-cause he said his K-9 part-ner can do up to 100 scent searches in a year. That

means everything from tracking down potentially dangerous fugitives to find-ing hidden drugs. Though the work is very critical, the dogs know that if they are successful there’s fun to be had at the end. “They work for the re-ward and the play,” Helger-son said. “Once he gets that it’s like he is a little kid.” Tad Johnson is at [email protected].

For three years, Brad Heywood has played a vi-tal behind-the-scenes role with the Lakeville-based community theater group Expressions. As the all-purpose “tech guy,” he’s handled lighting, sound and other nuts-and-bolts aspects of about a half dozen pro-ductions. Now, he’s leaving the quiet anonymity of the control booth and step-ping into the spotlight. The Lakeville resi-dent and IT specialist by profession is making his stage debut this month in Expressions’ holiday play “You Better Watch Out.” “It’s a new experience and a challenge,” Hey-wood said. In the booth, “I can be up there reading a book and just hit a but-ton when I need to. Now I’ve got to focus and make sure I don’t screw up my lines.” Heywood plays Mr. Smith in “You Better Watch Out,” a character who as the show progress-es is revealed to be Santa. It’s a role to which Hey-wood says he’s well-suited. “I did Santa for my kids when they were little – I’ve even got my own Santa suit, though I don’t think I’d fit into it anymore,” he said with a laugh. He hadn’t planned on auditioning for the part. According to the show’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 he’d been toying with the idea of “taking the plunge” into acting for some time. His only prior acting experience was a theater class he took while attending Robbinsdale Armstrong High School. The students didn’t per-form before an audience,

but simply staged a few scenes in a workshop-type setting. “I played a doofus – the other students told me I played that really well,” he joked. Mr. Smith is a substan-tial part for a first-time actor – Heywood is one of just seven cast members in “You Better Watch Out,” and he’s got about 170 lines to memorize. To help get into character, he’s been reviewing Santa’s scenes in “Miracle on 34th Street.” With opening night just a week away, his crash course in acting is coming along. “The first time he showed up (to rehearsals) he was stiff as a board, but now he’s relaxed a

lot and he’s doing really well,” Wilkins said. Because he’ll be on stage, Heywood had to re-linquish his control-booth duties. He didn’t need to look far for a replacement – his adult son, Tom, has signed on as the show’s tech director. And while many green-horn actors would be feeling butterflies in their stomachs about now, Heywood says he’s been able to keep his cool be-cause, in a comedy-laden show such as “You Better Watch Out,” he knows it’s OK to come off as a ham. “I don’t have any prob-lem dorking it up,” he said.

With a lackluster econ-omy having battered the housing market, Rose-mount has gone back to do-ing business the old way. The City Council ap-proved on Tuesday, Nov. 1, the issuance of $2.08 mil-lion in bonds to fund street and utility improvements to serve the future develop-ment of homes in Prestwick Place – a D.R. Horton proj-ect. The city acting as the conduit through which road and utility work is covered up-front and then repaid entirely over time by the developer is a practice that was common prior to the years of rapid development when builders’ bank ac-counts were flush with cash. Tuesday night’s action

is just another sign of the times – and this one has benefits. Repayment of the bonds will be at a five-year low in-terest rate of 1.15 percent, which is 0.14 lower than projected just a week ago, according to Teri Heaton of Springsted Inc., the city’s financial adviser. The city of Rosemount will have road and utility improvements paid for and see its tax base grow as 56 new single-family homes are built near the northwest corner of County Road 42 and Akron Avenue. D.R. Horton will have itself a new housing de-velopment, called Prest-wick Place, that will go up in two phases. Homes are touted as starting in the low $300,000s (www.drhorton.com).

For several years when the housing market was booming, the city didn’t have to be the banker in such projects, City Finance Director Jeff May said, but now it is more difficult for builders to obtain financ-ing. Another upshot of the project is that a local bank was part of the low bid among six. United Bankers Bank and the First State Bank of Rosemount com-bined to submit the low bid. To find out more about the D.R. Horton develop-ment located at 14178 Ab-beyfield Ave., call (952) 985-7849. The company is taking home site reserva-tions.

An Apple Valley man was jailed Oct. 24 after al-legedly injuring an Eagan police officer who was at-tempting to arrest him for car theft. According to the criminal complaint, the officer suffered scratches to his head during the struggle with 18-year-old Dexter R. Jefferson in the early morn-ing hours of Oct. 24. The struggle ended after police used a Taser on Jef-ferson. The complaint gives the following account of the in-cident: At about 3 a.m. an Eagan patrol officer noticed a car parked on Westbury Lane with its brake lights on, but not its headlights. When the officer pulled up to the car, Jefferson exited the vehicle and told the officer he was waiting for his friend, but

he was unable to give the friend’s name or address. Police subsequently ran a check on the car’s license plates and discovered it was

reported stolen. Told he was under arrest, Jefferson fled on foot, and a chase ensued. Officers caught up to Jef-ferson and tackled him to the ground, but he struggled to break free and

pushed the officers, and po-lice used a Taser to subdue him. Jefferson was arrested and booked into the Dako-ta County jail in Hastings, where he remained as of Tuesday afternoon on $100,000 bond. He’s been charged with three felonies – car theft, receiving stolen property and assault. His next court appear-ance is Nov. 14.

An Apple Valley man was charged with a felony last week after he allegedly arranged to sell a pound of marijuana to a police informant. Police say Yonas B. Haile, 26, had agreed to sell the mari-juana to an informant with the Dakota County Drug Task Force at a location in Burns-ville on June 16.

The day of the sched-uled sale, Task Force agents and Burnsville Police officers maintained surveillance of the area where the transaction was to take place. Officers con-ducted a traffic stop on Haile’s vehicle – on grounds it vio-lated window tint laws – and found 446 grams of marijuana (about a pound) in a pink bag

in the back seat, the criminal complaint said. The Dakota County Attor-ney’s Office has charged Haile with one count of controlled substance crime in the fifth de-gree. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in pris-on and a $10,000 fine. His next court appearance is Dec. 5.

disputes is never appropri-ate,” Dakota County Attor-ney James Backstrom said in a news release after the sentencing by Judge Timo-thy McManus. “Instead of picking up a gun, Thomas could have easily picked up a phone and called 911.

Had he done so, this trag-edy never would have oc-curred.” A noisy altercation be-tween the two men began after Thomas discovered that Koenig had Thomas’ 13-year-old son take pic-tures of him shirtless. Koe-nig, who struck body-build-ing poses in the photos, said

he wanted a new picture for his Facebook page. Both Thomas and Koe-nig’s girlfriend confronted Koenig about the photos, which they deemed inap-propriate. As the argument esca-lated, 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, accord-ing to the criminal com-plaint. Thomas, who had asked another man at the party to call 911, then fired. The man had dialed 911, and hit “send” after the gun went

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

ter, intentional discharge of a firearm and endanger-ing another, and reckless discharge of a firearm in a municipality. John Gessner is at [email protected].

Eagan football has a chance to make historyWith a win over Cretin-Derham Hall on Friday, Eagan would earn its first state bid

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan football team has a chance to do some-thing this Friday night that no other Wildcat team has done. That’s win a section title and play at the state tourna-ment. 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 play-offs. Any mention of the Raiders makes Eagan play-ers 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 Base-ball MVPs (Joe Mauer). Recently the Raiders had the No. 1 recruit in the

country (Se-antrel Hen-derson) and wide receiver who is cur-rently 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, los-ing 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 two-point 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 unde-feated, 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 hot-test teams. Eagan has won six of its last seven games with the one loss coming against Pri-or Lake on a blustery night. Leading up to the sec-tion final, Eagan has scored 113 points in wins over Minneapolis Southwest and Woodbury. One would be hard pressed to find anoth-er team playing better right now than the Wildcats.

Lightning back in thesection fi nal 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 quar-terfinals. 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 intercep-tions, 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 47-yard pass from Ryan Reger to Adam Moorse. Eastview had lost three in a row to Rosemount in-cluding a 28-21 game on Oct. 14, but since then the Lightning have done noth-

ing but win, outscoring op-ponents 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 73-10 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 be-tween the two was in 2007 with Eastview winning 38-13 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 touch-downs per game. Prior Lake has never ad-vanced to the state tourna-ment while Eastview’s last trip was in 2009.

The Burnsville girls soc-cer 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 soc-cer 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 re-cent 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 dur-ing 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 im-proved 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 Soder-holm said. “They’re mov-ing the ball around really well and hit their peak at the right time.” Alyssa Blahnik had a memorable afternoon in the Class AA semifinal with three goals and two

assists. “Our first eight, nine minutes I think we were a little nervous,” Soderholm said. “This was a wonder-ful way to do it. We’re hap-py. 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 re-ally 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 av-eraged 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 sec-ond 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 press-time.

Eastview advances to state final by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Say what you want about the Metrodome, but for high school soccer players competing at the state tour-nament 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. “We’ve never been here before,” senior captain Brennan EspindaBanick said. “It’s definitely new to us, but we’re loving it.” 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 Val-ley and Eagan in the same section. The Lightning weren’t part of the forecast when the season opened; Eastview wasn’t ranked in the top 10 by the coaches association. It took a month of unde-feated play to reach the top spot, where they stayed all season. “We were under the ra-dar, which was kind of good for us,” EspindaBan-ick said. “We didn’t want to get cocky.” A big reason behind their success was the emergence of forward Mathew Gweh, who sat out last year be-cause of transfer rules. Gweh came into the sea-son confident, and he wasn’t surprised when they started winning games. “I didn’t doubt the team,” Gweh said. “We knew coming in. We’re like brothers. Sometimes we get a little upset, but that’s soc-cer. We try to work hard for each other.” Opponents didn’t know what to expect from Gweh in the early part of the sea-son. “The first time you see him play you’re going to be on your heels pretty fast,” head coach Scott Gustafson

said. “He’s a special kid.” Once he scored four goals against Bloomington Kennedy on Sept. 8, the fifth game of the season, teams took notice and op-ponents started to key on Gweh. That’s when other play-ers like Pierce Erickson, EspindaBanick, Mike Bon-derud, Matt Miller, and Joe Karam had to step up. Eastview started to win games even when Gweh was shut out. “It hasn’t always been easy for us, but we made our own luck sometimes,” EspindaBanick said. The Lightning wouldn’t be playing at state without the efforts of the entire pro-gram. “All the guys stepped up from top to bottom and we have really great senior leadership on this team,” Gustafson said. “It’s been a lot of fun to coach them.” The Lightning have also relied on their defense, espe-cially during the 2-0 Class

AA state semifinal win against Minneapolis South-west. Eastview’s opponent had more corner shots (six) and shots on goal (17), includ-ing 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 symp-toms, Ruelas had nine saves. “It was one of the best displays by a keeper in any game this year,” Gustafson said. Gweh scored two goals in the win with assists from Erickson. The Lightning went on to play Eden Prairie for the state title on Thursday. To read more about the game visit www.Thisweeklive.com.

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board has chosen a new member to replace Kevin Sampers, who resigned last summer. Gary Huusko was select-ed in a special board meet-ing Oct. 27 to fill the vacant seat. “I’m honored by it,” the Eagan resident said. “I will try my best to continue what the school board is doing, which is provide a great edu-cation.” Huusko was among seven applicants who were inter-viewed for the position. The 54-year-old was chosen for his commitment to the school district and community over the past 15 years, according to a release. Huusko’s son is a sopho-more at Eagan High School and his daughter graduated from the school in 2010. Huusko has been an ac-

tive volunteer at their schools and district since moving to Eagan in 1996. He was appointed to the District 196 Budget Advisory Council in 2004 and has co-chaired the council since last year. Huusko was instrumental in establishing the District 196 Foundation in 2008 and has served as chair of the foundation board since its inception. He also served on the District 196 Strategic Plan-ning Task Force that met several times this past sum-mer to identify challenges facing the district and de-velop goals for the future. In addition to his ser-vice at the school district, Huusko has served on the board of directors for the Eagan Rotary, the Eagan Citizens’ Crime Prevention Association, and the Dakota County Regional Chamber

of Commerce, among many oth-er organizations. H u u s k o 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 child-hood education. “I know it costs a lot of money, but if we spend money to get kids ready for school today, it will be a bet-ter return in the future,” he said. Huusko will take the oath of office at the school board’s Nov. 14 meeting. He will serve the remainder of Sampers’ term, which ends Jan. 6, 2014. Sampers, who served on the board for 18 years, re-signed in August to dedicate more time to the business he founded earlier this year. E-mail Jessica Harper at: [email protected]
