Despite churning outtons of concrete during itsexistence, the future of thenow-closed HansonConcrete site in AppleValley is anything but setin stone.

Apple Valley is seekinganother occupant for theindustrially zoned 80-acreplot of land, located at 6055150th St. W., to replace thejobs that disappeared fol-lowing the plant’s closingin March. City officialsrecently issued a requestfor proposals to locate andselect a consulting servicewith a primary objective ofproviding the city with anexamination of the marketof potential users and theeconomic feasibility ofthose users. In thisinstance, city officials haveidentified local and nation-al site selectors that haveclients in their respectiveareas.

“We certainly are inter-ested in landing a newbusiness with job opportu-nities,” said BruceNordquist, communitydevelopment director forApple Valley. “We are look-ing for them to provide theconsulting service to help

identify and attract a newbusiness with moreemployees. We are lookingfor a particular type ofbusiness that is a job gener-ator.”

City officials do notexpect another concretemanufacturer to fill thevacancy due to outdatedequipment, as well as inde-pendent consultants say-ing that another similarplant would not be eco-nomically feasible.Because the location isindustrially zoned, it pro-vides flexibility with whattype of business the cityhopes to attract, Nordquistsaid, adding that theoptions could range from amedical office, a light man-ufacturing plant, or afinancial or technical serv-ice.

Prefacing his next com-ment by saying it may bepremature to consider,Nordquist said that thecity is open to green tech-nology as well.

Apple Valley MayorMary Hamann-Rolandagreed with Nordquist inregards to attracting anenvironmentally friendlybusiness.

St. Paul Hotel headchef to continue dualfunctions in new roleBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

One Apple Valley resident is ready toget cooking in his new position.

Morrissey Hospitality Companiesrecently promoted Lance Kapps to theposition of corporate chef. Kapps hasbeen serving as executive chef at the St.Paul Hotel since 2003 and will continuein this role while taking on new respon-sibilities as MHC’s corporate chef.

In Kapps’ new role, he will be respon-sible for overseeing the culinary opera-tions of the hotel, the St. Paul Grill, andTria restaurant and bar, and will alsobe consulting with the MHC culinarygroup at RiverCentre in St. Paul. Kappshas spent nearly 25 years working inthe industry, first starting out as manydid – as a dishwasher. It was not longbefore he found himself performingpreparation-type duties and eventuallyworking different kitchen-related sta-tions.

“I always enjoyed doing it when I wasyounger, and I did it every summer. Itgets in your blood,” Kapps said abouthis early days in the industry. “There isalways that next thing to learn. It does-n’t matter how long you’ve been in akitchen.”

Before joining the staff at the St.Paul Hotel, Kapps was the executive

chef for Wisconsin’s Pfister Hotel andthe Grand Geneva Resort and Spa, butthis position was long separated fromhis first job in the industry at a veryyoung age.

“I was probably 15,” Kapps said,referring to his age when he entered theindustry “I worked with some localcafés and restaurants in upstate NewYork.”

Kapps, who graduated from theCulinary Arts program at Johnson &Wales University in Providence, R.I.,may still be working mostly out of theSt. Paul Hotel, but his new position willhave him spending time at other MHCrestaurants in the Twin Cities area.One of those restaurants will be Tria inNorth Oaks, Minn.

“It is a restaurant that has anFrench-country cuisine,” Kapps said,adding that the establishment has beenopen for about seven years. “They havea great patio and dining area for thesummer.”

Given the scope of Kapps’ new posi-tion, which for MHC involves severaldifferent restaurants, the Apple Valleyresident said it is important to create adistinction between one from another.

“Every food program has it’s ownfood identity,” Kapps said, referring todifferent restaurants that have differ-ent styles. “I think it’s important tochefs and I know it’s important to cus-tomers.”

Certain individuals close to Kappsdo not need to drive to North Oaks toenjoy fine dining, however, as the long-time chef is always ready and willing toprepare meals for his wife and threechildren.

Kapps feels it is very important forfamily to take the time to spend timewith one another, especially for dinner.

“It is fun to cook and sit down withmy kids,” Kapps said.

Kapps was not the only individualwho received a promotion as MHCannounced that several others in thecompany were being promoted at thesame time.

“At MHC, we are dedicated to devel-oping and retaining top culinary tal-ent,” said MHS President WilliamMorrissey. “I am very pleased to fillthese positions from the talented teamof chefs within our organization andfrom other successful and knownrestaurants and brands.”

June 4 walk at Spiritof Brandtjen FarmsBY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM • SUN NEWSPAPERS

One local nonprofit is turning to thepublic to help raise funds to continueits mission of bringing joy to childrenundergoing medical treatment.

The Spirit of Brandtjen Farms willhost the Suburban Adventure 5KWalkathon and Run starting 8 a.m.Saturday, June 4. All proceeds will ben-efit HopeKids, anonprofit providingactivities to chil-dren going throughmedical treatmentand their families.

The event opens 8a.m. with registra-tion, followed by a5K and 10K race at 9a.m., a 5KWalkathon at 9:30a.m., a kids fun runat 11 a.m. and a picnic lunch at noon.

According to HopeKids PresidentJosh Taylor, his nonprofit is builtaround the idea of “hope being a pow-erful medicine,” and aims to give kidsin treatment something to look forwardto. Taylor said the SuburbanAdventure is HopeKid’s biggest annualfundraiser.

His goal for this year is to have 500people attend, and he hopes to raise$65,000. That many people turned uplast year, and raised $47,500. More than$65,000 was raised in 2009, during thefirst Suburban Adventure.

“If we can have kids looking for-ward to the future, there is somethingto give them a constant state of antici-pation, rather than seeing a calendarfull of therapy,” Taylor said. “Theylook at our calendar of events and seethe Twins games, private movie screen-ings, and so on. It allows them to seethat rather than the medical maze. Ifwe didn’t provide this, they wouldn’t bedoing this, because they don’t have theresources. Life stands still for thesefamilies, and there is not a lot of hopein that.”

Medical monotony is something thatRobin Snook of Lakeville knows first-hand. Her son, DJ, now 5, went throughthree years of treatment for leukemia,and she credits HopeKids with pullingher family together during a difficulttime.

“We didn’t really get to do a lot of

fun stuff, and Hope made it possible,”she said. “It’s a way to get away fromthe hospital and clinic appointments.This offers him a chance to be a kid, towind down and have fun.”

DJ recently finished his last treat-ment session March 12, and started pre-school. He’ll be participating in theSuburban Adventure with two teams offamily.

“It’s a small thing I feel that we’redoing to give back, but I hope thatevery bit of what we can raise will help

someone, and evenus in the long run,”Snook said. “Thisis just a chip off theice to be able to dothis and raise themoney, but it makesme feel good that atleast there is some-thing I can partici-pate in.”

Seven-year-oldMitchell Tanquist

of Burnsville has spina bifida, andbeing involved with HopeKids hasbroadened his horizons, said his moth-er, Kristy.

“The first thing we did [withHopeKids] last year was go to Elko,and he got to drive one of those midgetcars,” Kristy said. “He would havenever had that opportunity before. Hegot to meet the drivers, sat in the carsand that was something new for him.One of the best things [he did withHopeKids] was a Build a Bear with theTimberwolves. He built a bear withKevin Love. That’s all he talks about.”

According to the National Centerfor Biotechnology Information, spinabifida is a birth defect in which thebackbone and spinal canal do not closebefore birth. As a result, Mitchell hasto use specialized walking sticks to getaround, and “everything takes fivetimes longer than it would for a typi-cal kid,” Kristy said. Being involved inHopeKids hasn’t just helped Mitchell,Kristy said.

“When this first happened, wethought we were only ones with childlike this,” she said. “We found wecould make it through. It’s not easy,but when you start talking to otherfamilies, you know it can be OK. Iknow that if we didn’t give back,HopeKids wouldn’t exist. Any littleamount we can give can help.”Formore information on the event, visitbit.ly/lOSfbc.

“There is an opportunity for creatinggreen manufacturing in that generalvicinity,” she said. “The location is aperfect location for people and compa-nies coming in from out of town.”

Hamann-Roland cited Uponor, a 400-year-old Finish company with its NorthAmerican headquarters in Apple Valley,as an existing company that could possi-bly attract other Scandinavian-basedcompanies to the city in general.

“It has expanded four times over thelast three years,” she said, adding thereare more than 300 people who work atUponor, which provides heating andcooling, plumbing, fire safety and otherrelated services.

The mayor stressed that the city’slocation is also an advantage for bothforeign and domestic businesses, notingCedar Avenue and how it serves as adirect artery to Minneapolis-St. PaulInternational Airport.

“It’s both for the companies thatcould fly in from the Nordic – it has con-nections in Nordic region – and compa-nies that might expand in our area,”Hamann-Roland said.

Above all else, however, Hamann-

Roland expressed more concern over thetypes of jobs that the city hopes to landin the future by saying Apple Valleyneeds “head-of-household jobs for ourcommunity, which can sustain our fami-lies.”

According to the city, Apple Valleycurrently has a population of about50,000, but that figure is expected toincrease to 70,000 by 2030. Meanwhile,the city’s labor force currently stands atapproximately 30,000 people, but thereare only about 13,000 jobs in the commu-nity.

All proposals must be received byFriday, June 3, and the market analysis,as well as a design strategy, must becompleted by Friday, Dec. 30.

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUNNEWSPAPERS

Ever since the state lotterywent into effect in Minnesota,the wild and crazy idea wasalmost too much for the mild-mannered Minnesota tempera-ment to handle.

But the novelty wore off intime, and the lottery itself wenton to do quite well. I have togive credit where it’s due, butthere is one aspect of the lot-tery that state officials seem-ingly never thought to consider.

I certainly recall the firstand only scratch ticket I everbought. The year is vague, butit had to be in the late ‘80s orearly ‘90s, shortly after the lot-tery was implemented in ourstate. It could go without sayingthat I lost money, which shouldcome as no surprise when youtake the time to calculate theodds.

I did not pay any attention tothe fact I was purchasing itwhile in line at a convenientstore. Tens of thousands of peo-ple do this daily. But when you

are in a rush and you stop for aquick snack to keep yourselfsatisfied, you usually find your-self behind that one line that isfive people deep because oneperson is hoping for a payday atthe expense of time to all thosebehind thebuyer.

T h e s er e c o l l e c -tions spanmany years,so specificsare hard torecall, butthree recenti n c i d e n t sput this issue to the forefront ofmy mind. I suppose that this isthe point where I explain howlittle I actually think about this.Typically, it is only when it isoccurring or in the rare event itcomes up in conversation.

With that said, stores shouldmake a separate line for thosenot interested in wasting theirmoney, thus leaving the otherlines open for the rest to actual-ly receive the full experience ofa “convenience” store instead

of an “inconvenience” store!I recently witnessed one

individual buying scratch offtickets while two others and Itried hard to wait patiently.This is a difficult thing to do,however, when John Doe isscratching his tickets as he is

p u r c h a s i n gthem. And, tomake it worse,he is redeemingthose common$1 and $2 win-ners (a deceiv-ing attempt bythe lottery tofool one into

thinking he could actually winthe big one).

Meanwhile, this particularstore had three employees onduty at the time, but only oneoperating a register. One of theother employees was inside thesmall area behind the counter,but what this person was doingremains a mystery. The secondemployee walked around thestore, presumably as part of hisor her duties, but I saw this per-son look at the line for a

moment or so but continued onwith his or her business, what-ever it was.

This is one classic examplehow these lottery tickets andscratch-offs turn what shouldbe a quick and convenient stopinto a 10-minute or more majorpain in the rear. As a result, thestores in which I have experi-enced this are the exact ones Itend to avoid. This is somethingI guess lottery officials neverthought of.

I am probably not the onlyperson whom this irritates, andI’m also guessing that I’m notthe only one who has driven afew extra blocks or maybe evena mile to avoid this nonsense.

For me the solution is easy.As I have already stated,please, please, please create anentirely separate checkout linestrictly for those who wish todefy logic by waging againstenormous odds. The rest of uscan buy our Cokes, Slim Jims,and Jujubees within a fewmoments and be at our destina-tions before John Doe realizeshe just wasted $20.

Sometimes, it’s more like an ‘inconvenience store’

I wonder...To the editor:Is the Minnesota GOP homo-

phobic? Recently, Bradlee Deangave a voice and a face to thosethat would chisel homophobiainto the MinnesotaConstitution. The GOP HouseLeadership immediately, andwisely, denounced Mr. Dean.However, how can the HouseGOP support a vote on thehomophobic constitutionalamendment in one breath anddenounce Mr. Dean in the next?Maybe his views put too muchclarity into what the GOP isproposing?

John W. FoxEagan

Are these worthyof our concern?

To the editor:An amendment defining

marriage. Voter ID legislation.Abortion legislation. What doany of these social issues haveto do with providing jobs, refu-eling our state economy, andbalancing the budget?

These issues are not the topconcern for those who areunemployed with depletedretirement savings, behind inhouse payments and withouthealth insurance. These issuesare not the top concern forthose teachers who are losingtheir jobs.

These issues are not the top concernfor disabled or mentally ill citizensabout to lose what little lifeline servicesthey’re receiving. These issues are notthe top concern for the majority ofMinnesota citizen.

It’s unbelievable this is how theRepublican controlled state legislatureis spending the last days of the session.Governor Dayton has reached out andoffered a compromise. The Republicanlegislature refuses to move an inchbecause they say compromise is notwhat they were elected to do. They needto be reminded they are governing forall of the state of Minnesota.

Thank you Governor Dayton fordoing your job and understanding whatreal governing is: compassion, compro-mise and thinking of all Minnesotans.

On parking tickets…To the editor:To the city of Apple Valley: I recently

received a parking ticket for keeping mycar on the side of the road overnight. Iwas parked in a residential neighbor-hood where I was unaware of the city’s

parking guidelines. First, who hasknowledge of parking ordinances any-way? Second, there was no sign present-ed on the side of the road as to whathours I could or could not park.

Sure, it may seem minor. It is a harm-less parking ticket, but to me it is notabout the ticket itself. I am a law-abidingcitizen, although I do drive 5 MPH overthe speed limit from time-to-time, butwho doesn’t? This situation seems allbut unfair, especially when there are nosigns posted on the side of the road.

Parking “violations” are nothingcompared as to what should really bekept a close eye on: drunk drivers, speed-ers, drug busts, underage drinking,crime, etc. Police officials need to focuson the safety of the people of this city,and cut some slack to actual law abidingcitizens. And in the meantime, put upparking hour signs on the side of theroad.

BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Thomas Ryan has been a student ofthe water before he ever took classes in aschool building.

“When he was three years old takingswimming lessons, he would jump in thewater without any regard if anyone waswatching him or not,” said Barb Ryan,Thomas’s mother. “And right then, Iknew that this kid had to swim.”

Now, Thomas is using his love of thewater to benefit his school. The eleven-year-old will be the sole participant in a“swim-a-thon” to raise money for RahnElementary School, which is set tobecome an Arts & Technology magnetschool beginning in the 2011-2012 schoolyear.

The swim-a-thon will begin 9 a.m.Saturday, June 4, at Burnsville HighSchool, where Thomas will attempt toswim 200 laps or swim for two straighthours – whichever comes first.

“His swim coach says that he shouldhave no trouble completing 200 laps in anhour and a half,” Ryan said.

Thomas, who is in fifth grade, said hisprevious high mark is 40 laps swum in arow.

“I have no doubt,” Thomas said of hischances to reach his swimming goal.

Thomas picked a fund raising goal of$1,000 after raising nearly $300 in hisfirst day of funding May 24. So far, he hasreceived donations from friends, rela-tives, and neighbors. He even received a$2 donation from a seven-year-old on his

swim team, The Black Dogs.Last year, Thomas was offered an

opportunity to travel to Australia as partof the People to People AmbassadorProgram. He couldn’t afford the trip, butthe idea to fund raise and give back to his

school was born. This fall, Rahn is set tobecome one of only a few Arts &Technology magnet schools in the TwinCities metro area. With no funding fromoutside the district, Thomas took it uponhimself to help out his school.

“It means a lot that he will be givingback to his community at a young age,”Ryan said.

Thomas intends to begin the swim-a-thon using the freestyle stroke – his favorite– but will rotate back and forth with thebreaststroke. His mom will serve as the offi-cial lap counter and timekeeper for theevent, which is open to the public.

Rahn Elementary School PrincipalElaine Mehdizadeh said other studentshave generated fund raising ideas, butThomas’ idea is unique because his schoolwill be the recipient of the money he raises.

“I think it’s just an amazing event thatThomas is doing for our school,”Mehdizadeh said. “It speaks highly of whoThomas is in terms of how he wants tocontribute to our school.”

Pledges can be made per lap or as aflat, one-time contribution. Donationscan be made by sending a check madeout to “Rahn Elementary” and can bemailed to: Rahn Elementary, Attn: CindyCrosby, Swim-a-thon, 4424 SandstoneDrive, Eagan MN, 55412.

“They adopted my unit as kind oftheir own,” Mazzitello said, adding thathe purchased the flag from his baseexchange while in Afghanistan.

His good friend, Lt. Col. Cloyce“Scorch” Adams, served as theweapon’s officer on the mission, andkept the flag with him in the cockpit.Mazzitello and his unit gave the flag tothe church as a way to recognize themilitary ministry group’s support oftheir squadron.

“It almost can’t even be put intowords,” Mazzitello said. “The amountof effort, money, and time that thechurch put into supporting oursquadron, to give them a flag flown ona combat mission almost isn’tenough.”

The church group mailed care pack-ages containing coffee, granola bars,energy bars, and other items toMazzitello’s unit, according to BrianBecker, Military Service SupportMinistry communications leader.Some parishioners struck up pen palcorrespondences with the squadron’ssoldiers, Mazzitello said.

“They even had enough care andthought to send packages tailored tofemales,” he said, adding that hestopped counting the number of carepackages his unit received at 60.

“The flag was presented to church todo with it as they wish,” Mazzitellosaid. “Our squadron is honored thatthey chose to fly it between MemorialDay and Flag Day.”

Mazzitello, who is the Public WorksDirector for the City of MendotaHeights, asked city councilmemberJack Vitelli to design and build a con-tainer for the flag. Vitelli built a trian-gular, cedar wood case where the flagis now kept.

After Flag Day, the flag will bereturned to the case, though churchmembers are unsure of where it willpermanently be displayed. Mazzitellohas been deployed overseas five timesin his 19 years of active duty.

Though groups of five to six men ofhis unit have been recently deployed,their latest mission to Afghanistanwas the first time the 67-man squadronhas served overseas since the DesertStorm Operation in the early 1990s.

Stationed at Bagram Airfield inAfghanistan, the unit repaired air fieldlighting and runway pavement, inaddition to providing infrastructurefor new construction projects andmaintaining various utility and main-tenance facilities.

BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS

John Elder set out on his annualvacation last week.

Some people might find Elder’s ideaof a vacation to be cruel and unusualpunishment, but the 64-year-oldBloomington man would likely argue alousy day on his bicycle is better than agood day at the office.

He might tell you that, but he’d prob-ably also tell you there’s no such thingas a lousy day on his bike.

Elder and Dennis Hill, ofBloomington, kicked off the sixth annu-al Christian Elder Memorial 900. Thebike ride, named in memory of Elder’sson, is a fundraising ride Elder com-pletes each year to raise money for Kids‘n Kinship, a youth mentoring programserving portions of Dakota County.Elder has been involved with the organ-ization for years, acting as a mentor to aboy named Dante, who recently turned18, is about to graduate from highschool and plans to go to college thisfall.

Elder’s bike rides have raised about$114,000 for Kids ‘n Kinship in fiveyears, and the 2011 ride has raisedanother $24,000, according to Elder. Hishope is that the final tally for this year’sride tops $26,000.

A charitable challengeThere are several fundraising bike

rides held annually in Minnesota. Elderdidn’t ride in any of them. He begandistance riding seven years ago. As hebuilt up his endurance, his sense ofadventure kicked in. He began planningwhat would become an annual 900-milebike ride. The challenge of pedaling100s of miles during a 16-day span was-n’t enough, evidently. “Why don’t Imake it a charity ride?”

Those initial challenges turned intoan annual tradition. Elder’s riding part-ner, Hill, is joining him for the fifthtime.

The duo is not alone as they travelthrough the farmland of Iowa in 60-mile increments. Elder’s brother Jimdrives a small motor home and trailereach day, stopping every 20 miles to pro-vide a rest stop for the riders. And theduo will have a third wheel, so to speak,throughout the trip, as three more rid-ers will join them during the trek, eachparticipating on one 300-mile leg of theride.

The route changes each year. Thisyear’s route is best described as a pin-

wheel. The ride is beginning in DesMoines, Iowa. The itinerary includesmany bike trails through Iowa, and sev-eral of the daily destinations are citiesthat host minor league baseball, Elderexplained. If all goes according to planthe duo will visit five minor league ball-parks this year, he noted.

At 60 miles per day, the riders wouldfinish their 900 miles in 15 days, buttheir schedule has one off day built in,at the completion of 600 miles, Eldernoted. They will ride if it is raining, butElder knows some day weather willforce an unscheduled day off. That day,however, has yet to come.

The ride commences in late May inpart to avoid the dog days of summer.Avoiding heat didn’t seem to be an issueas the journey began last week, Eldernoted. “This has been a surprisingspring.”

The ride concludes June 11 atMerchants Bank in Apple Valley, theprimary corporate sponsor of the event.

Kids ‘n KinshipThe nonprofit Kids ‘n Kinship pro-

gram provides “friendships for chil-dren who are in need of a positive rolemodel,” according to Jan Belmore, theprogram director.

Belmore’s chapter is one of 22 serv-ing Minnesota. The program matchesindividuals, couples or families asmentors to children. “That gives us alot of flexibility in terms of style ofrelationships that that we can providefor the children,” she said.

The organization has a waiting listof 65 children, and provides matchesfor about 30 children per year, shenoted.

Kids ‘n Kinship has periodic infor-mation sessions for prospective men-tors. The next meeting is June 15 inBurnsville.

Proceeds from Elder’s ride supportsestablished mentoring relationshipsand helps the organization recruitmentors, Belmore said.

“It is thrilling and humbling to wit-ness the effort and dedication of theteam of riders,” she said. “Each ridercontributes an enormous amount ofpersonal time and funds to participatein the ride.”We feel a deep sense ofgratitude to them.”

Information about Kids ‘n Kinshipis available online at kidsnkinship.org.Information about the annual bikeride, including a road diary updateddaily, is at cem900.com.

Eagan students takingpart in Safe Routes toSchool pilot program

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Officials with one area elementaryschool have found a way to mobilize itsstudents for healthier living.

Eagan’s Red Pine Elementary Schoolis among many schools participating ina pilot program of the Safe Routes toSchool National Partnership. Referredto as “Fire Up Your Feet,” the programis aimed at encouraging more studentsto be more physically active as a way ofpromoting healthier lifestyles.

Jill Chamberlain is a communityprevention consultant with Blue CrossBlue Shield, which provides funding forthe SRTS initiative. She explained theintent of the FUYF program.

“Safe Routes to School is a globalmovement that boils down to the twobasic ideas where kids can walk orbike,” she said. “There are severalschools across Dakota County that haveimplemented SRTS strategies and ini-tiatives for the past couple of years”

Along with Red Pine Elementary,Greenleaf Elementary School in AppleValley has a strong group of parentsand a committed physical educationteacher who has organized walking andbiking events and has improved cross-ing guard support, according toChamberlain.

The dramatically increasing rate ofchildhood obesity served as on majorinspiration for the creation of the pro-gram.

“I think the main reason, accordingto the Centers for Disease Control,

Childhood obesity has more thantripled over the past 30 years,” saidKaren Lyons, a spokesperson for BCBS,who said that the main reason BlueCross is involved is reduce childhoodobesity and their overall health.

“We want to recognize the schoolsthat are doing innovative things. Fromnow until June 15 they can register onthe website and log their trip activitiesto and from School,” Lyons noted. “Thewebsite continues after June 15, butthat’s when the contest ends.”

The contest serves as an incentivefor children to participate with a firstprize of $500, a second prize of $250 forparticipation. The money will go backto the school, and the schools areencouraged to use the money for any-thing that promotes or encouragesphysical activity.

The program features an easy-to-usewebsite that allows families to registerstudents and track their walking andbiking mileage and time spent involvedin physical activity.

“We want to recognize the schoolsthat are doing innovative things. Fromnow until June 15 they can register onthe website and log their trip activitiesto and from school,” Lyons said.

The website continues after June 15,but that is when the contest ends, soindividuals can continue to log theirphysical activity on an ongoing basis.Also, the website and the program itselfis not limited to schoolchildren.Parents and caregivers may participateas well, but the parents may only logthose miles generated while walking orbiking with their children to and fromtheir respective schools.

For more information about how toregister and begin logging physicalactivity, visit fireupyourfeet.org.

BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville and area community resi-dents will soon be able to have their med-ical needs met locally.

Park Nicollet will be opening a pri-mary care clinic in a Lakeville, at 18432Kenrick Ave. Apple Valley graduate andClinic Practice Director Dr. Andrea Singhwill be in charge of the 5,000-square-footfacility, which is due to open Aug. 22.

Brett Long, Park Nicollet vice presi-dent of strategy and quality, said that thedecision to open a Park Nicollet care cen-ter in Lakeville was in part based on com-munity input.

“At Park Nicollet…we believe inresponding to the community’s needs andpreferences,” Long said. “When we askedthe Lakeville and surrounding communi-ties about health care services, they clear-ly stated their preference for a ParkNicollet Clinic closer to home. Lakevilleis also a natural extension of the manyspecialty services provided at our ParkNicollet Burnsville Clinic which is onlysix miles north of the Lakeville clinic.”

Dave Olson, community economic

development director for Lakeville, saidthe city did not seek out Park Nicollet, butsaid the city is in favor of and supportsmedical service providers coming into thecity.

“We are working with them,” Olsonsaid, adding that the clinic will benefitarea residents by providing its serviceslocally. “It’s more about convenience thanI think anything. You now don’t have todrive to Eagan for medical care.”

Singh, who announced that the clinic iscoming to Lakeville at the Lakeville AreaChamber of Commerce luncheonWednesday, April 27, said the clinic wouldoffer additional services in addition to theservices as a primary care clinic.

“At the Lakeville site we are going tooffer pediatrics and family medicine,” thedoctor said. “We have providers who basi-cally can see anyone from birth to the endof adulthood.”

Singh, a pediatrician herself and grad-uate of a local school commented on herfuture of providing medical services toarea residents.

“I’m a graduate of Apple Valley HighSchool,” she said, adding she has beenpart of the south metro for years. “It’sreally nice for me to be able to build some-thing that can provide a service to people

in the community.”Speaking generally, Singh said that she

and other Park Nicollet officials realizethat Lakeville prides itself having a small-town feel.

“We are really cognizant of that andconcerned with patient education,” shesaid, adding that collectively she and ParkNicollet officials wish to deliver a tradi-tional and personal type of service toaccommodate this sentiment.

“Doctors know who you are, but stillhave resources of Park Nicollet behindthem to provide the best quality of care inan atmosphere where people feel welcomeand that their needs are being met,” shenoted.

Singh, who currently serves as siteleader at a Park Nicollet facility in St.Louis Park, added that the Lakeville clinicis going to be certified as a medical home,a nationwide concept to help patients finda home for all of their medical care.

The new clinic will officially open itsdoors Monday, Aug. 22, and it will addi-tionally feature extended hours, includingnights, early mornings and eventuallyweekends. A ceremonial grand openinginvolving the Lakeville Chamber ofCommerce, however, will take placeshortly after Aug. 22.

START NOW TO GET IN SHAPEAccording to The National Institute on Aging, less than one-

third of Americans over 55 are physically active. But thosewho have adopted a regular exercise program are living longerand enjoying their years to the fullest.

In fact, regardless of age or state of health, older adults cansignificantly slow the deterioration of both body and mind byengaging in regular cardiovascular exercise and strengthtraining. Research shows that older adults who exercise havemany physical benefits — a lower risk of coronary heart dis-ease, lower risk of hypertension, decreased blood pressure,control of late-onset diabetes, relief for arthritis pain,increased bone density, reduced risk of fractured bones, betterbalance, ability to avoid accidental injuries, maintenance ofpersonal independence and can engage in active activitiessuch as skiing, running and cycling.

EXERCISE PROGRAM TIPSFor those who are older and want to get in shape, the

American Academy of Family Physicians offers these tips forstarting an exercise program:

1. Wear comfortable, well-fitting clothing and sturdy shoeswith good arch support and an elevated and cushioned heel toabsorb shock.

2. Check with your doctor first, then start slowly with exer-cises you are most comfortable with. You'll be less likely toinjure yourself, and you will prevent soreness. Start with

walking. As you become used to it, you can increase the inten-sity of your workout.

3. Engage in some type of aerobic activity (walking, swim-ming or bicycling) for at least 30 minutes every day and resist-ance or strength training two days per week.

4. Warm up for five minutes before each exercise session bywalking slowly or stretching. Cool down with more stretchingfor five minutes (longer in warm weather).

5. Don't exercise if you feel under the weather, have a cold,the flu, or another illness. Wait until you feel better. If morethan two weeks pass, be sure to start slowly again.

6. If your muscles or joints are sore the day after exercising,you may have overexerted yourself. Next time, exercise at alower intensity.

7. Talk to your doctor, if pain or discomfort persists, if youhave chest pain or pressure, if you have trouble breathing orhave excessive shortness of breath, if you are light-headed ordizzy, if you have difficulty with balance or if you feel nau-seous while exercising.

There are many instruments on thewalls of Schmitt Music, and an infinitenumber of notes that can be played onthem.

One instrument gaining popularitycan not only produce notes, but also,according to a sale manager, can makepeople smile.

“It’s inviting,” Jerry Grote, seniorsales manager of musical instrumentsat Schmitt Music, said of the ukulele, aPortuguese-originated instrument com-monly associated with Hawaii. “I can’tthink of any other instrument whereyou can strum it or play a chord and peo-ple will just smile.”

The instrument has been gaining inpopularity throughout the entire UnitedStates in recent years. As a way to exhib-it the ukulele’s increased popularity andto enhance its growth, Schmitt will behosting workshops and performances byLil’ Rev, an accomplished harmonicaand ukulele player from Milwaukee,Wis., 6:30 p.m. June 7 at the Burnsvillestore, June 8 at the Edina Galleria andJune 9 at the Minnetonka store.

Grote said that sales of ukuleles havebeen markedly increasing. One reason

for this growth, he said, is the aura ofhappiness the sound of ukulele creates.Michael Carlson, assistance manager ofSchmitt Music in Burnsville, concurs.

“A lot of people say that you can’t notsmile when you’re playing [a ukulele],”he said, describing customer commentshe often receives. “It’s just a happysound.”

The ukulele – or “uke,” for short – hasoften been thought of as a niche instru-ment. Grote agrees that the uke still hasits particular notoriety, but its fandom isexpanding into other genres and audi-ences as of late. He cited Beatles andFrank Sinatra songs as some of thetunes that have been recreated with theukulele.

Several famous musicians have beenexperimenting and succeeding with theukulele over the past few years. IsraelKamakawiwo’ole performed the song“Over the Rainbow” in the 2004 AdamSandler movie, “50 First Dates.” JasonMraz’s song, “I’m Yours,” was nominat-ed for a Grammy award in 2009. Theband, Train, won a Grammy for it’s sin-gle, “Hey, Soul Sister.” Multi-platinumrecording artist, Taylor Swift, hasrecently been performing some of herhit songs on the ukulele.

Another recent addition to theukulele scene is former Pearl Jam fron-trunner, Eddie Vedder. The lead singerand guitar player for the rock band PearlJam, Vedder still performs with as partof the group but has become a soloartist. Instead of a guitar, Vedder hasbeen plucking the strings of a ukulele.

Vedder’s new album, “UkuleleSongs,” is comprised entirely of songsplayed on his ukulele. The album is setto be released Tuesday, May 31. His touras a ukulele soloist is coming to theOrpheum Theatre in Minneapolis onSaturday, July 2. Although he’s older andbit more subdued than his early rockeryears, Vedder’s new venture brings awhole new audience to the ukulele sceneand provides yet another avenue inwhich its popularity can prosper.

“That’s about as opposite as polargets,” Grote said, regarding Vedder’sukulele interest. “That’s terrific. It’samazing what something like that cando.”

“I think it’s great because it is bring-ing the folk instrument into the main-stream and [bringing] more popularity,”Carlson said.

Grote sees how the increased preva-lence of ukulele music garners people’s

interest in the instrument. However, healso sees it the other way around – thatthe increased exposure of ukuleleintroduces some of famous musiciansinto their interest in playing the instru-ment.

“I think it all ties together,” Grotesaid. “The popularity and just the visi-bility.”

Whatever the case may be, Grote saidthe interest and increased sales inukuleles is evident by the instrument’sincreased ubiquity.

“It used to be that you’d walk into amusic store and you’d see many guitarsand pianos, popular instruments likethat. Not ukuleles,” he said. “Now, youcould walk in and you’ll instantly seeukuleles. Because of the demand, peo-ple really want to see them.”

Besides its smile-inducing sound,Grote said some other reasons for thegrowth in ukulele popularity includethe instrument’s portability, accessibil-ity and simplicity.

“[The craze] comes on the heels ofsmall guitars called, ‘travelers.’Everyone wants one they can put intheir suitcase and bring on a plane; onethey can bring anywhere you go,” Grotesaid. “It has four strings instead ofsix,” he said. “The strings are nylon.Nylon strings are really easy to holddown. The neck is small. So for peoplewith small hands, where certain gui-tars can be a detriment, the ukulele isperfect for that.”

The ukuleles’ relatively low cost isanother reason for its growing popular-ity, Grote said. Sales of ukuleles atSchmitt Music start as low as $30.

“It’s something that you don’t have tospend an arm and a leg for,” he said.

Grote shared a story on how simpleit is to play a ukulele. He was playingone at the front of a Schmitt store whenhe came across a lady he said had tohave been in her 80s, maybe early 90s.Grote asked if he could help her.

“She said, ‘Well, I’ve always wantedto play but I can’t. I just can’t,” he said.“I said to her that if you want to playukulele it’s very easy. I picked one up,strummed a few chords, and, of course,here came that smile.”

The woman eventually decided tobuy a ukulele and a beginner’s guide-book for $40. Two months later, the ladyreturned to the store and Grote askedher how she was doing.

“She was beaming from ear to ear,”he said. “Her whole life she’s wanted toplay an instrument, and didn’t thinkshe had an ounce of talent. Now, she’s amusician.”

trains at the team’s facility in ColoradoSprings, Colo. The organization preparesU.S. athletes in shooting sports and pro-motes these sports throughout the country.

Kelsey’s father, Mark, a longtime com-petitive shooter and hunter himself, intro-duced his daughter to the sport when shewas 11 years old. Since that first time see-ing her shoot, Mark has seen Kelsey devel-op over the years, to a point now where shecan make history.

“In order to get her into competitivetrap shooting, she had to take the firearmssafety training. I sat with her through sev-eral trap shooting videos, how-to typevideos,” Mark said, adding that both train-ing sources helped her understand notonly how to shoot but also what a goodgun-fit was, “because gun-fit is probablythe most important thing to be able toshoot well.”

At this time Kelsey was still a little too

small to comfortably handle the weapon.Soon after this, Mark bought her a gunspecifically designed for smaller women toshoot trap. The main advantage of thesetypes of guns, Mark said, was theiradjustable components.

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

“Over the years, she improved alongthe way.”

Kelsey continued to work hard, accord-ing to her father, who added that sheattended a couple shooting clinics to aidher development. She participated in manyshooting competitions over the followingyears, winning several at 14 and 15 yearsold. The events brought her to Forest Lake,Owatonna, and Buffalo, Minn.

As Kelsey’s skills continued to develop,she continued competing and winninglarger-scale competitions.

“I went to the Minnesota state shootthat year when I was 15,” she said, addingit was her first time. “I guess I had a verysuccessful competition. I shot better than Iever 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-impor-tant change of shooting American trap tointernational trap, a change that did notnecessarily come easy. Kelsey said therewere many differences that made theswitch more challenging.

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

Citing the other differences, Kelseysaid the targets are moving 62-75 miles perhour, 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 February 2008to February 2011, at which time she arrivedin Colorado to live and train at the USAShooting facility for yet more training.

“I’m at the range shooting from 9 a.m. to 2p.m. six days a week, Monday-Saturday,” shesaid, adding that she sees a sports neurolo-gist. “Basically, sports neurology teaches youto tap into and control your brainwaves.”

She added that the objective of the sportsneurology was to execute a shot while on aspecific brainwave, shoot on one while shoot-ing on another. Kelsey also applies this phi-losophy to the Olympics, at least in hermind’s eye, for now.

“My personal coach said you have to haveactually thought you’ve won it before youhave in reality,” she noted.

For Mark, nothing could make a fathermore proud than seeing his daughter suc-ceed at such an elite level, and potentiallywinning a gold medal. Understandably emo-tional, Mark said next to the births of hisdaughters, “I can’t think of anything thatwould make me more proud.”

Boys tennis team winsfirst section titleBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Eastview boys tennis coach JeffOlsen had been saying it for a while: His2011 team had the potential to be verygood.

But nobody – especially not Olsen –said it would be easy. It wasn’t, but thatmade the Lightning’s Section 3AA teamchampionship all the more satisfying.

Potential turned into performancethis season, and last week the Lightningearned the school’s first state Class AA

team tournament berth with a 4-3 victo-ry over Woodbury in the Section 3 finalMay 25 in Inver Grove Heights.

“We’ve had good teams for a fewyears,” said senior captain AaronLarson, who plays on the Lightning’s topdoubles pairing. “Some good playerscame up from the JV, and we had aneighth-grader make the varsity a fewyears ago.

“This year, I think we were juststronger mentally. Being a year olderhelps with that. We’re all pretty solidmentally. We don’t get rattled veryoften.”

The potential for getting rattled washigh in the section final, given thestakes. Also, a stiff wind was blowing

across the courts at Simley High School,playing havoc with service tosses andlob shots.

“It seemed like in half our matchesthis year our guys were wearing wintercaps and gloves on their off-hand,” Olsensaid. “You just have to play, and that’swhat our guys did.”

Larson and teammate Sam Cychoszgave their team a quick lead with a 6-1, 6-3 victory at first doubles. Will Biernat’s6-2, 7-6 (3) victory at first singles wasEastview’s fourth point and clinched theLightning’s state tournament trip.

“A lot of us have played in high-pres-sure matches against tough players,”

Lightning fulfillsits potential,heads to state

The first South Suburban Conferencegolf team championship trophies willend up in the same place – a display caseat Eastview High School.

The Lightning boys and girls teamsclinched conference titles last week.Eastview’s boys won the final confer-ence tournament May 23 at ValleywoodGolf Course in Apple Valley. It wasEastview’s third victory in four confer-ence tournaments.

Lightning senior Max Tylke shot 70 (1under par) to win the individual medal.Sam Christian (74), Matt Foley (75) andErik Edsten (75) also counted towardEastview’s 294 team total.

Eastview won back-to-back LakeConference championships in 2001 and2002.

“To say we’re the first champions ofthe South Suburban Conference is pret-ty fun,” Eastview coach Mark Wanoussaid. “It’s a very good conference.

“We lost Eden Prairie [to the LakeConference], which is nice, I must say.Chaska and Chanhassen [which went tothe Missota] are two good teams. But wegained Prior Lake, which went to statelast year.”

Eastview also is second inMinnesota’s two high school golf rank-ings, trailing only Eden Prairie in each.

Tylke is fourth in the Minnesota GolfAssociation’s individual rankings,which include players from all threeenrollment classes. He’s also fourth inthe state coaches association’s Class 3Arankings.

Eastview’s senior-dominated lineuphas maintained a consistent level ofstrong play.

“Our guys are good at picking eachother up,” Wanous said.

said Biernat, a junior captain who hasbeen playing for the Lightning varsitysince eighth grade.

“It means a lot to us to be the firstEastview team to go to state,” Biernatadded. “Eagan’s had [the section title]the last few years and they had a goodteam again this year, but we thought wewere ready to take it.”

Olsen said “I really feel our toughschedule paid dividends. We’ve seenteams like [defending Class AA champi-on] Eden Prairie and Mounds View, andwe found out we could play with them.”

No. 4 singles player Tommy Vang andthe second doubles team of DanFalkenberg and Rachit Kshetrapal hadto grind out three-set victories againstWoodbury. Vang dropped the first setbefore rallying to win 5-7, 6-1, 6-2.Falkenberg and Kshetrapal won 6-1, 5-7,6-1.

Tommy Vang’s brother Brandon lostin three sets at third singles. MattHaugdahl and Dan Stika took their thirddoubles match to three sets before los-ing. Nishaan Pal played at second sin-gles for the Lightning.

Eastview, 16-3, has lost only to EdenPrairie, Mounds View and Sioux Falls(S.D.) O’Gorman. The Lightning wentundefeated in nine South Suburban con-ference matches.

Olsen said unity also played a part inEastview’s success. “This is probablythe closest-knit group I’ve had in nineyears at Eastview,” the coach said. “It’s afun group, but they’re really dedicated.They’re a lot of fun to work with.”

The Lightning will play the Section 8champion in the Class AA quarterfinalsat 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 7, at BaselineTennis Center on the University ofMinnesota campus. If Eastview wins, itcould find itself facing Eden Prairie inthe semifinals the next day.

In early May, “we lost to Eden Prairie4-3 and there were three three-set match-es,” Olsen said. “We were right there.”

A state team champion will be deter-mined Wednesday, June 8, then the ClassAA singles and doubles tournamentswill take place at the U of M the follow-ing two days. The Section 3AA individ-ual tournament was in progress whenthis edition went to press.

“We’ve kind of ham-and-egged it allyear. Every guy on the team has helpedus this year in one way or another.”

On the girls side, Eastview clinchedthe overall championship by finishingthird in the final conference tournamentMay 23 at Rich Valley.

Eagan needed to finish two spotsahead of Eastview at the final conferencetourney to earn a share of the overallchampionship, and three ahead to win itoutright. Instead, the Wildcats were sec-ond in the May 23 tourney to take secondin the overall standings.

Eastview won two of the four confer-ence tournaments, while Eagan andRosemount won one each.

Top athletes stand out at SSC girls track finals


Rosemount boys takeSSC track titleBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount’s strength in sprints,throws and distance events was instru-mental in the Irish winning the stateboys True Team track and field champi-onship, and the same events were keylast week as the Irish breezed to theSouth Suburban Conference title.

Unlike the May 20 True Team finals,which weren’t decided until the finalevent, Rosemount wrapped up thingsearly in the SSC finals May 25 at AppleValley High School. The Irish finished60 points ahead of second-place AppleValley.

A sweep of the top three places in the800 meters helped send the Irish on theirway. handler Dye won in 1 minute, 56.93seconds, Sam Temple was second in1:57.40 and Christopher Mergens wasthird in 1:58.57.

If Rosemount was that good in theopen 800, it stands to reason the Irishwould be tough in a relay that consistsof four 800-meter legs. Goaner Deng,John Evenocheck, Temple and Dye wonthe 4x800 in 7:58.55.

Seniors Joe Bjorklund (57 feet, 0 inch-es) and Brandt Berghuis (54-0 1/4) werefirst and second in the shot put, andBerghuis also was third in the discus(152-8).

Shane McCallum, a senior, won the3,200 – held during the May 24 prelimi-naries – in 9:26.95. The next day, he tooksecond in the 1,600 in 4:24.26.

Andrew Hausmann was first in the400 dash (49.41), third in the 200 (22.50)and fourth in the triple jump (44-0).

Other top finishers for Rosemountincluded Myles Phillips in the 100(third, 11.04) and 200 (second, 22.37),Deng in the 400 (third, 49.42), TylerHenkemeyer in the 1,600 (third, 4:25.72),Nathan Rock in the 3,200 (third, 9:29.61)and Phong Dovu in the long jump (third,20-9).

The Rosemount team of Mergens,Evenocheck, Temple and Dye was sec-ond in the 4x400 relay in 3:27.53.

Apple ValleySprinters had a big say in Apple

Valley’s second-place finish at the SSCfinals. Eagles athletes won two individ-ual sprinting events and two sprintrelays.

Senior Herschel Brazell won the 100in 11.00, four hundredths of a second

ahead of teammate Quinn Hooks, a soph-omore. Jordan Crockett, a senior, won the200 in 22.35.

Kevin Davis, Crockett, Steven Wilsonand Brazell won the 4x100 relay in 43.86.In the 4x200, Jalen Stewart, Hooks,Wilson and Brazell won in 1:30.44.

The Eagles’ Mitch Hechsel was run-ner-up in the 400 in 49.62.

Davis, a junior, also won an event onhis own, taking first in the 110 hurdles in15.04.

EastviewAlmost 25 percent of the third-place

Lightning’s 98.5 team points came fromone event, the triple jump. Eastview ath-letes took the top three places, with FrankVeldman first with 46-0 1/2, Khalil Jordansecond with 45-2 and Charlie Krengelthird with 44-11 1/2.

Krengel won the long jump with 21-9.Veldman was the top seed in the event butfouled on all his attempts in preliminar-ies.

Ryan Lockard and Veldman were sec-ond and third in the high jump, with bothclearing 6-4.

Eastview senior Erik Rosvold was con-ference champion in the 1,600 in 4:22.75.He was second in the 3,200 in 9:26.85.

EaganWildcats senior Derrick Mora won

the 300 hurdles in 40.39 at the conferencefinals. He was second in the 110 hurdlesin 15.47. Mora completed a strong per-formance in the SSC meet by finishingsecond in the long jump (21-6 1/2) andseventh in the triple jump.

Eagan junior Adam Peters cleared 13-3 to finish third in the pole vault.

The Wildcats were fifth in the boysteam standings with 66 points.

BurnsvilleThe Blaze finished eighth at the con-

ference finals with 35 points.Burnsville’s point potential wasreduced by the absence of distance run-ning standout Cole O’Brien, who willmiss the rest of the season because of aknee injury. O’Brien qualified for statein the 1,600 and 3,200 the last two years.

Three Burnsville athletes finishedfifth in individual events in the confer-ence finals – Dan Nguyen (200), AbdulSalan (3,200) and Antony Odera (triplejump).
