Burnsville Bowl’s 1200 Club night-club got a tongue-lashing and an ul-timatum June 8 from the Burnsville City Council. The council voted 4-1 to renew Burnsville Bowl’s annual liquor li-cense but ordered a review after three months of the club’s efforts to control unruly patrons. If officials aren’t satisfied, license suspension or revocation for the 41-year-old bowling and nightclub es-tablishment may follow. “We’re well on the way to getting there, and we may be there in three months, but in my opinion we’re not there yet,” City Attorney Joel Jamnik told the council. Police say the club at 1200 E. High-way 13 has averaged 100 police calls a year over the last three years. Frustra-

tion felt by council members and some neighbors boiled over after an early-morning fight on March 4 ended with a shot being fired from a sport-utility vehicle. There was another gunfire incident in January. No one was hurt in either incident. A Brooklyn Park man faces drive-by shooting and other charges in the March incident, which occurred after a Wednesday night hip-hop event. “It’s not so much about the volume of calls, but specific types of calls ... the assaults, the disturbances, the shots fired in the parking lot,” Police Chief Bob Hawkins said. The council pulled Burnsville Bowl’s license from a routine annual measure renewing all existing liquor licenses. Renewals take effect on July 1. Council members considered a six-

month review but decided on three. Even that was too much leeway for Council Member Dan Kealey, who cast the lone vote against the renewal. While police report progress in working with owner Bob Hatten and general manager Kevin Coleman to stem the problems, Hawkins said get-ting front-line employees on board can be difficult. “Am I confident they’ll do every-thing they need to do to make that a safe place? No, I’m not,” the chief said. Residents of the 164-unit Itokah Valley Townhomes east of Burnsville Bowl on Riverwood Drive wanted more than a three-month review. “The Burnsville Bowl is very alarming to me,” homeowners asso-ciation president Pat Podoll told the council, accompanied by two of her

Problems at the Burnsville Bowl’s 1200 Club have frustrated city officials and neighbors.


What does it take to be a valedictorian around here? In a graduating class of about 700, the nearly perfect grade point averages notched by seniors Joshua Treimer and Sarah Strain over their years at Burnsville High School aren’t perfect enough. But these graduates will leave the commencement stage on June 11 knowing they took full advantage of their academ-ic and extracurricular opportu-nities. And they’ll have left a per-manent memory with class-mates. In a competitive ap-plication process, Treimer was chosen to give the graduation address, and Strain was picked to deliver the commencement address. Each discussed high school memories and future plans in recent interviews.

Footballand fellowship Treimer, of Burnsville, said his approach to high school was to meet new people and have a positive influence. He was a member of the sci-

ence club, the National Honor Society and the school’s LIFE group, which trains members in interpersonal skills they use to help peers. Treimer was a leader of the school’s Fellowship of Chris-

tian Athletes organization, a senior track captain and a star on Blaze football teams he’ll al-ways cherish – even though they won one game his sophomore year, no games his junior year and two games his senior year. “I’m over it,” said Treimer, who calls last fall’s effort “a step in the right direction.” Treimer was the team’s most valuable player his junior year and an all-conference senior captain who played safety on defense and wide receiver on of-fense. “Football has always been

Budget reserves will keep School District 191 from having to cut programs next year, despite a projected $3.1 million shortfall. The proposed 2010-11 budget received June 3 by the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board in-cludes a general operating fund of $110.6 million. Projected gen-eral fund revenues total $107.5 million. The gap will be closed by tap-ping the general fund reserve, now an estimated $13.8 million. It would drop to $10.7 million at the end of the next fiscal year. While many Minnesota school districts are cutting next year’s budgets, 191 continues to reap the benefits of a successful 2007 levy

referendum, Board Member Ron Hill said. As voters were promised, the 10-year, $630-per-pupil levy will have stabilized class sizes for three years and helped boost fund reserves for a “rainy day,” Hill said. “It’s not just a rainy day, it’s now big-time storms that are passing over everybody in our economy,” he said. “Are we in a great place? No. But we’re in a lot better place than we could have been,” Hill said. Class sizes, which were re-turned to 2006-07 levels after the referendum passed, will remain stable, as they have since 2008-09. Student-to-staff ratios will remain 26.85 at the elementary level, 25.88 at the junior high level and 30.95 at the senior high level.

DISTRICT 191

An Eagan woman has been charged for allegedly shooting her father with his own gun during an argument over custody issues with her son. The Washington County At-torney’s Office has charged Amber Allyson Rabideau, 23, with three counts of assault in connection with the shooting, which took place Feb. 22 at her father’s Woodbury home. Rabideau’s father, James, was shot twice. He survived the shoot-ing but had to have a portion of his bowel removed. One of the bul-lets entered and exited his right hip, and the other remains lodged in his back. According to the criminal com-plaint, the shooting occurred dur-ing an argument between Rabideau and James over a scheduled over-night visit she had planned with her 4-year-old son, who lives with James and his wife, Tina. James and Tina told police they have been the primary caregivers of Rabideau’s son since his birth. They said they agreed to raise him so Ra-bideau wouldn’t have to give him up for adoption.

In the fall of 2009, the couple filed a petition to gain full custody of the child, which Rabideau con-tested. A guardian ad litem was ap-pointed, and on Feb. 19 the guard-ian ordered that Rabideau could have her son for an overnight visit. James said that due to some in-formation he and Tina received shortly before the visit was to occur, they refused to allow Rabideau to keep her son overnight, but would let her visit him that day. When Rabideau arrived to pick up her son, she and James began arguing in the master bedroom, the complaint states. When the argument turned heat-ed, James said he left the room to get a glass of water. When he returned, he said, Rabideau was standing in the middle of the room with a gun pointed at him. The .22-caliber pis-tol belonged to James and was kept in his closet, loaded with a round in the chamber. James, who told police he trained his children how to use guns, said he hit Rabideau and tried to grab for the gun. He then heard a loud noise, fell to the floor and felt extreme back pain. He later realized he’d

A new Office Depot store that had been gather-ing dust in Burnsville will finally open. Located north of Coun-ty Road 42 and east of Nicollet Avenue, the com-

pleted building sat vacant for many months, a symbol of an interrupted economy. But now the store – a compact new prototype for the Florida-based Office Depot chain – is set to open on June 14. The Burnsville City Council approved construc-tion in September 2007. An Original Roadhouse Grill restaurant was torn down to make way for the store, which sits in the city’s main retail corridor. “We pulled back on some of our store openings,” said Melissa Perlman, a com-pany spokeswoman in Boca Raton, Fla. “But we’re still excited to be able to open the Burnsville, Minn., loca-tion to meet the needs of our customers in the area.” Office Depot announced 100 store closings and halt-ed store openings at the end of 2008, Perlman said. Now, a company that had been opening 50 to 100 new stores a year has 20 on tap for this year, Perlman said. Office Depot has just under 1,200 locations na-tionwide. The Burnsville store is about 17,000 square feet, compared with 20,000 or more at most Office Depot locations, Perlman said. It’s

one of about 15 or 20 new compact prototypes, she said. “It’s a store that’s more convenient to navigate, so it’s a little warmer and friendlier,” Perlman said. “We really feel that the store offers our customers the most enjoyable shopping experience in the industry and a layout that’s intuitive, logical and convenient for the customer to shop.”

A grand opening is scheduled for July 15, she said. Office Depot leases the building. Managed by Renae Viss-er, the store is located at 50 E. County Road 42. Hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. week-days, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Satur-days and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. John Gessner is at [email protected].

A man who threw punch-es after becoming upset with a referee’s call at a sixth-grade basketball game in Burnsville has pleaded guilty to first-degree assault. Robin Johnson, 48, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty June 1 and will be sentenced Sept. 1, said Monica Jensen, spokeswoman for the Dako-ta County attorney’s office. Three other counts

against him remain. John-son is also charged with third-degree assault, interfering with a 911 call and disorderly conduct. Johnson was or-dered to undergo psychiatric and chemical-dependen-cy evaluations be-

fore sentencing, Jensen said. Upset by a call that led to a game-winning free throw in overtime, Johnson punched Burnsville Athletic

Club official Jeff Shand after the game Feb. 13 at Burnsville High School. Shand, the commissioner of boys in-house basketball, was knocked unconscious and suffered three cracked molars, one of which had to be extracted, according to the criminal complaint. Johnson allegedly punched another man, a player’s father, when he tried to intervene. He alleg-edly knocked Shand’s cell phone from his hand when

Shand threatened to call po-lice prior to being hit. The second man kicked Johnson in the groin and pinned him to the floor with the help of other spectators, a witness said. Johnson, who is in cus-tody at the Dakota County Jail, is also charged with violating an order for pro-tection, according to jail re-cords.

Because of this summer’s rebuilding of Burnsville Parkway, the St. Paul Farm-ers Market will leave its tra-ditional Saturday-morning location at Diamondhead Education Center. The market will move across Highway 13 to Min-nesota Valley Transit Au-thority property on the northeast corner of 13 and

Nicollet Avenue. The City Council ap-proved an interim use per-mit for the temporary lo-cation June 8. The market operates Saturday morn-ings in Burnsville from June through the end of October. It will occupy 98 parking stalls at the Burnsville Tran-sit Station. The market first came to

Burnsville in 1998, operat-ing on the MVTA site. After one year it moved to the more pedestri-an-friendly location at Diamondhead, north of the Parkway. The market is expected to return to Diamondhead for the 2011 season.

County begins path to establishing network of greenway corridors

Commissioners recommend hiring consultantby Laura Adelmann

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dakota County’s plan for a network of intercon-nected greenways is another step closer to reality. Tuesday, June 8, com-missioners unanimously approved hiring consultant HKGI, Inc. of Minneapolis for $110,000 to create indi-vidual master plans for two greenways. Following the county’s 2030 Park System Plan, the

greenways are planned to be located along the Min-nesota River and in Leba-non Hills Regional Park, running from Eagan/Apple Valley to Farmington’s Vermillion River. While some land acquisi-tion may be necessary, the county intends to locate the majority of the greenways on public property. The actions reflect Da-kota County’s plans to cre-ate 200 miles of greenways

to connect parks, rivers, schools, lake trails and play-grounds, as well as the Min-nesota and Mississippi riv-ers. Each master plan will include alignments and co-ordination with existing fa-cilities, and will be funded in part with $45,000 from a Blue Cross Blue Shield Ac-tive Living grant.

In projecting 2010-11 rev-enue, the district predicted a 1 percent cut in per-pupil general education funding from the state. The recently adjourned Legislature didn’t make that cut. But Lisa Rid-er, the district’s business man-ager, said she left it in as a “conservative” hedge against Minnesota’s looming budget problems. The cut lowered revenue projections by $390,000, she said. The state faces a projected $5.8 billion deficit in 2012-13. Rider said the district has al-ready done some short-term borrowing because of de-layed state aid payments, and she expects to do more bor-rowing next year. The state is “essentially borrowing money from the school districts,” costing them interest payments that could have gone into the classroom, Hill said. The revenue projection reflects another enrollment decline in a decade-long slide. Enrollment is projected to fall next year from 9,870 stu-dents to 9,708. The last several years have brought increases in “com-pensatory” aid, which is based on concentrations of low-income students. Com-pensatory aid – part of the per-pupil general education formula – will jump from $254 per student to $342 next year. The district received only $148 per student in 2006-07. The concentration of stu-dents qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch is mag-nified as enrollment declines, Rider said. The district’s total pro-posed budget is $150.3 mil-lion, with projected revenues of $145.4 million. The bud-get also includes funds for food service, community service, capital projects, debt service, trust and agency and internal service. Board approval is expect-ed June 17. The budget will be revised with updated fig-ures at mid-year.

Opinion

Tolerating or accepting bullying is anti-educationTo the editor: If a child does poorly at school, many factors are involved. But sometimes changing only one thing can drastically increase a child’s chances of succeeding in school. What can be done to prevent bullying at school? In Minnesota, legislation was discussed in the 2009 session. Some have opposed it and believe other priori-ties should take precedence. Allowing or tolerating bullies at school is an anti-education agenda. It’s al-ready a challenge to make sure kids have a quality education. Children should not fear going to school. And when a child is going through the school day, he or she should not have un-necessary distractions. School is a place to learn grammar, mathematics, sci-ence, etc. The public school system is not the appropri-ate place to expect children to learn how to deal with verbal or physical abuse. We have laws that are designed to protect adults from sexual intimidation in the workplace, but children aren’t offered a similar level of protection? They’re ex-pected to “just deal with it” as a part of growing up? Maybe anti-bullying laws should be lower on the pri-ority list, as some people believe. However, my belief is that some relatively small amount of time can be spent on this in future legis-lative sessions. If people can complain about their prop-erty taxes and how taxpayer money is used, I think im-proving the education sys-tem by helping to give chil-dren a sense of security and feelings of being protected by those who love them can fit somewhere in the list of priorities. I don’t anticipate that it would take very much time at all: simply amend or ex-

pand some of the existing laws that protect children, laws which people already support.

ANDY ALTBurnsville

Morgan, Doll shouldn’t talk taxes To the editor: I almost vomited up my lunch when I read how Sen. John Doll and Rep. Will Morgan didn’t like a tax hike on the wealthy pro-posed in the 2010 legislative session. Here is a news flash for all of the citizens of Burns-ville. Will Morgan and John Doll are Democrats. Saying that they don’t like taxes is the same as saying ducks hate water. Both Morgan and Doll raised taxes on the citizens of Burnsville more than the predecessors in their House and Senate seats combined. Remember when gas was $4 a gallon? Well, John and Will had the answer. Add an 8-cent-a-gallon increase to our state gas tax. I remember in 1960 the Democrats ran a campaign on cleaning up the Minne-sota River. Well, its only 50 years later, and the Demo-crats have done nothing but raise our taxes. That is why I am vot-ing for Dan Hall, who is running against Doll, and Pam Myrha, who is running against Morgan. They are people with real family values. They love freedom, and they will not raise your taxes.

STEVE SCHOFIELDBurnsville

State projects put people to workTo the editor: Recent writers felt moved to defend the “no-new-taxes” school of protection for wealthy individuals and

corporations. They attacked the idea that government spending reduced unem-ployment during the Great Depression. Citing statistics of high unemployment during the early years of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, they failed to mention the sharp declines in unem-ployment during his time in office and the role of the Hoover administration in causing the original unem-ployment after the stock market crash of 1929. In our area, economic problems have been high-lighted by reports from the Minnesota Department of Revenue, which show wealthier individuals and corporations pay less of a share of their income in to-tal taxes than those who are not so wealthy. These stud-ies don’t scorn wealthy in-dividuals and corporations. They merely report there’s a nicer set of tax standards for those who already have wealth. More recent attempts by DFL legislators Sandra Masin, Mike Obermueller, Phil Sterner, Will Morgan, Jim Carlson, and John Doll to level the playing field by raising taxes on these wealthy folks and corpora-tions were vetoed by the governor. This was in spite of the fact that earlier cuts to fed-eral and state tax rates for these privileged folks did not show a benefit to the economy during the Bush-Pawlenty era. As increasing unemployment in the latter years of their administra-tions show, there was no “trickle-down” effect from these preferential favors. To rescue the economy of the local area and our state, many legislators worked to pass a bonding bill to put jobs and projects into effect. The results have helped our local economy. Even the governor signed the bill. Yet the embarrassed de-fenders want to distract us from the challenges of low

The libraries of today are much different places than they were a generation ago. The public library I fre-quented during my school years was a passive place. One could hear a pencil drop inside its expansive four walls at nearly all of its hours of operation. As for its selection, it was virtually all books found through a manually operated card catalog. A June 12 free event at the Burnsville Performing Arts cen-ter staged by the Dakota County Library System shows how our places of books have transformed into active, engaging and exciting community centers. The first Rhythm and Words Family Music and Book Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. showcases in a splash the changing role li-braries are playing as it will pro-vide a sample of the kind of pro-gramming people can find every week at Dakota County libraries. In the past few years, county residents have seen the shift in the

libraries’ focus in a con-crete way with renovation projects and the construc-tion of a new library. The work at Galaxie, Wescott and now Burnhaven has aimed to create room for the kinds

of materials patrons increasingly are demanding, such as CDs and DVDs, while also adding space dedicated for computer stations. The new Robert Trail Library, completed last year, reflects the changing state of libraries. There is less room dedicated for print-ed reference materials and more space afforded for computer sta-tions and small- and large-group meeting rooms. It is inside these meeting rooms where many of the interactive programs occur. There are story times for toddlers, sing-alongs, activities, crafts, video game con-tests, author readings, writing clubs, theatrical presentations and much more. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Books Calendar in this edition or see it on our website un-der the Thisweekend heading.

Ken Behringer, library sys-tem director, and Jen Verbrugge, in charge of Community Con-nections for the libraries, spoke recently about the event and the changing role of libraries during a recent episode of ThisweekLive the Show that is posted on our website. Verbrugge said the event, which is being funded by the 2008 voter-approved three-eighths per-cent sales tax increase for preserv-ing the state’s arts and cultural heritage, will appeal to all ages

from toddlers to seniors. The music will include such styles as bluegrass, pop and hip-hop. People will be encouraged to dance and even play along on in-struments provided. “We want to bring music into their lives,” Verbrugge said. She said children’s librarians in Dakota County and across the country are implementing mu-sic programs because there is a strong link showing that rhythm and music help children learn how to read.

The event also includes author presentations and interactive fam-ily music classes. Behringer hopes the event will attract people who may not have been to a Dakota County library in a long time. “I see this event as a way for us to relate that in addition to put-ting on programs like this, we are an information resource, we have a homework help database … and cultural programs throughout the entire year,” Behringer said. “Every time you get an oppor-tunity to tell the public that the library is so much more than what people may think it is, it works in our favor and we end up with more users.” If the event lures those who haven’t been to a library since my school years, here’s a hint: You won’t have to finger through the card catalog to find a book. Tad Johnson is managing edi-tor of Thisweek Newspapers. He is at [email protected].

Event shows how libraries have turned the page

Dakota County Libraries’ Rhythm and Words musical lineup will include Bunny Clogs, Clementown, Koo Koo Kanga Roo, The Sweet Colleens, and the Whistlepigs String Band. Author presentations include Chris Monroe, Duluth author/illustrator of the “Monkey with a Tool Belt” picture books, and Jarrett Krosoczka, creator of the Lunch Lady graphic novels and the Punk Farm picture books. People can sample fun and interactive family music classes pro-vided by Kindermusik of the Valley and MacPhail Center for Mu-sic. Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine will provide on-site concessions.

RHYTHM AND WORDS FAMILY FESTIVAL

by Joe NathanTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Some of the strongest responses I’ve ever received to a column came in recently. Readers commented on a column that highlighting “From the Inside Out,” a book written by Stillwater inmates for young peo-ple. The book was the product of classes at Stillwater taught by Carleton professor Deborah Appleman. Because of the Internet, responses came not only from Minnesota communities like Eagan and Elk River, but also people in Baltimore and Seattle. Here are a few of the comments: From a parent in Eagan: :If the excerpts in your Thisweek col-umn provide insight into the messages in this book, I want to read it aloud to my 11-year-old son and all of his classmates at Paideia Academy. I also think it would be great reinforcement for the good things that are happening in his Boy Scout troop. He is entering into a time of great peer influence and the risk of ‘falling into the wrong group of kids.’ This book would serve to help guide kids away from behav-ior that would land them in a corrections program.” From a suburban public school teacher: “I was part of a workshop with Debo-rah Appleman. She is amazing and the men from Stillwater had extremely impor-tant messages to share. I bought the book and am already using it in my classrooms. I highly recommend it.” From the Milaca area: “I am not con-nected to any school but am interested in having my grandchildren (eight) and my six great grandchildren read this wonder-ful book. I am 80 years old and have lived a full and wonderful life and have been blessed with a wonderful family, But that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen some very un-happy people. Many years ago I was a tem-porary secretary at the Hennepin Jail where I worked for the nurses. My job was writ-ing up the histories of the new inmates. “One day, I recognized the name of a young man I had at (a suburban) junior high. I was a teacher’s aide in eighth grade

science. I know the young man fi-nally remembered me as he was only about 18 at the time. It broke my heart that he had ended up in the jail and I pray he left there with a dif-ferent attitude about his future. I re-member that way back in the 1970s so many of the goals of the students

were to raise Cain and get accepted by the troublemakers of the school. I just wish I would have had the opportunity to influ-ence this young boy’s life and pray he be-came a great law abiding adult.” From an Elk River area reader: “I am … a juvenile probation officer in Hennepin County. I am the coordinator/facilitator for an anger management group of high level juvenile probationers. One section of our curriculum is moral reasoning. Lately they seem to be getting caught up in prison is no big thing and you do what you do. I believe this may a good book for them to look at, read, and understand.” From Seattle: “I am the principal at Nova High School, a public alternative school in Se-attle with 350 students. … In August 2008 two-thirds of our staff did a professional development day at Monroe Prison meet-ing with the Black Prisoners Caucus and earlier this month, some of us returned for an Education Summit with the same group. This year our students organized a gifts for kids program in December for children of incarcerated parents and two years ago we set up a class called Prisons that looked at the history of incarceration because a num-ber of our students have either experienced the criminal justice system directly or have family members or friends who are incar-cerated. We also discovered that some stu-dents signed up for the class because they have a parent or family member who works in corrections. I am sure this book will … interest both students and staff.”

home values and local un-employment. So they chant the mantra, “taxes bad, government bad” over and over. The writers deny that Roosevelt had it right.

They want to avoid admit-ting that his public works projects and government investments into infrastruc-ture put people to work and food onto tables. They’d rather not tell us how smart

investments help families to survive and revive the econ-omy.

Jay Fishman has a straightforward philosophy: Orchestral music should be accessible to everyone. Fishman, conductor/artistic director of the Minnesota Sin-fonia, founded the nonprofit orches-tra comprised of professional musi-cians in 1989 with the idea of bringing classical music to under-served popu-lations: families with young children or limited finances, inner-city youths, senior cit-izens. All of the Minneapolis-based orchestra’s concerts are free, and all are open to children. “No one had ever done

that before in terms of a professional orchestra,” said Fishman, who founded the group after splitting with the Minneapolis Chamber Symphony. “This orchestra is built around community

service.” Dakota County will play host to two free, family-oriented concerts by the Min-nesota Sinfonia this month, June 13 at Caponi Art Park in Eagan, and June 20 at the Minnesota

Zoo in Apple Valley. The concerts will feature a mix of familiar classics (Mozart, Beethoven, Tchai-kovsky), marches, waltzes, and movie and show tunes. The orchestra relies on grants – from the state arts board and other govern-

ment sources, as well as foundation and corporate grants, and individual do-nations – to fund its educa-tional outreach programs and community concerts, said Mira LaCous of Eagan, a member of the Minnesota Sinfonia’s board of directors.

Local concerts • 7 p.m. Sunday, June 13, at Caponi Art Park, 1220 Diffley Road, Eagan. The kickoff event to Caponi’s annual Summer Perfor-mance Series, the outdoor concert will include chil-dren’s art activities from 5:30 to 7 p.m.; children will make teddy bear costumes with the help of volunteers, then march to the Sinfo-nia’s performance of the song “Teddy Bear Picnic.”

At 6:30 p.m., Anthony Caponi will deliver a read-ing from his newly re-re-leased book, “Voice From the Mountains,” with music starting at 7 p.m. A $4 per person dona-tion is suggested. More in-formation is at www.capon-

iartpark.org. • 2 p.m. Sunday, June 20, Minnesota Zoo, 13000 Zoo Blvd., Apple Valley. Though the Father’s Day Family Pops Concert at the Lakeside Terrace on the zoo’s Central Plaza is free, admission to the zoo is re-

quired, and parking is $5. Full details are at www.mn-zoo.org. More about the Minne-sota Sinfonia is at www.mn-sinfonia.org.

Book signing with Anthony Caponi Anthony Caponi, found-er and artistic director of Eagan’s Caponi Art Park, will sign books and answer questions about his mem-oir, “Voice from the Moun-tains,” from 1 to 3 p.m. Sat-urday, June 19, at Barnes & Noble, 1291 Promenade Place, Eagan.

At age 15, Caponi emigrated to the United States and began a new life in Akron, Ohio. Caponi, 89, is a sculp-tor, environmentalist, com-munity leader, teacher, phi-losopher and poet. “Voice from the Mountains” was published by Nodin Press (www.nodinpress.com) and will be available for purchase at www.voicefromthemoun-tains.com, Caponi Art Park and local book stores.

been shot twice. Rabideau disputes James’ account of the incident, claiming that he pushed her into the door frame of the master bedroom, causing her to fall to the ground. She told police the next thing she remembered was something “prickly” be-ing placed in her hand and hearing the gun go off.

She denied knowing how to shoot the gun and claimed she had no knowl-edge of the gun being in the home. She admitted she didn’t attempt to help her father or call 911, but said she be-lieved her father shot him-self in an attempt to take her child away from her. Rabideau has been charged with one count each of first-, second-, and

third-degree assault. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $30,000 for first-degree assault; up to 7 years and a fine of $14,000 for second-degree assault; and up to five years and a fine of $10,000 for third-degree assault.

something that’s been im-portant to me,” said the son of Trent and Julie Treimer. “I was fortunate enough to get to know a lot of my teammates on a deeper level. I’m pretty confident those friendships are going to be with me for a long time.” A member of Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Lakeville, Treimer said his parents instilled his desire to help others. “They have that selfless attitude rather than a selfish attitude,” he said. “So many people in today’s society are just looking out for them-selves. Especially in high school, it’s such a difficult time for so many kids. They may not have that many friends or they may be go-ing through a tough time or they may just need that one person to give them a smile or a pat on the back and tell them they’re thinking about them. If you can do it just one person at a time, you can do great things.” Treimer maintained his busy schedule while notch-ing a 3.9 cumulative GPA, which included two College in the Schools and two hon-ors courses his senior year. He’s headed for the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where Treimer has decided he won’t play football, despite having been in contact with the coaching staff. Instead, he’ll kick off his college career with an 18-credit semester load while beginning studies in exercise science. “It’s about what happens after college, not what hap-pens during,” Treimer said. “I could sit there and play football for four years, but if I didn’t work at and im-prove my education, I would have gotten nothing out of college.”

Giving it her best Strain, of Eagan, said her parents influenced her stu-dious approach to school. “Education is something my family has always really stressed,” said the daughter of Bryan and Marie Strain. “Life is what you make it. That’s just kind of my per-sonal motto. Education’s what you make of it. Even if you go to a really poor school, you can still make it one of the best educations by what you put into it.” Burnsville, Strain said, is an excellent school, with a nice array of advanced courses. “It truly gives the kids places to excel. I’ve been really impressed with the teachers I’ve come across, and I’ve learned a lot,” said Strain, who named history teacher Kristina Aars as a personal favorite. Strain doesn’t shy from a challenge. Her entry into the commencement-speech competition stemmed from a College in the Schools class in public speaking. And she’s kept plugging away at math. “I really am good with languages and history, but I struggled with math so much,” Strain said. “They (her parents) definitely helped me through with math. I’m in pre-calc right now. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve made it.” Strain played tenor saxo-phone in the concert band and jazz ensemble for three years and was involved in theater for three years. She took on roles behind the curtain and in front of it, and is probably best known as the Ghost of Christmas Present in this year’s pro-duction of “A Christmas Carol.” “It was kind of a pix-ie and fairy inspiration,” Strain said. “I was supposed to act very childlike. I de-scribe it as kind of an ego-tistical, 5-year-old child. It was probably one of my fa-vorite roles because I got to do whatever I wanted and have fun with it.” She’s headed next fall to the University of St. Thom-as, possibly to study psy-chology or sociology. She leaves Burnsville with an excellent GPA. “I have a 3.98,” Strain said. “We have people with 4s. I might be salutatorian. But I’m not sure on that one.”

board members. “We’re here tonight to urge you not to renew their liquor license.” Late-night vehicle and foot traffic comes down Riverwood from the Burns-ville Bowl, and some thefts have occurred, Podoll said. Problems at the club have aroused “fear” in some resi-dents, she said. The club’s problems tar-nish not only the immediate neighborhood but the entire city’s image, Council Mem-ber Mary Sherry said. “I’ve lived here a long time, and it seems in the last couple of decades there have just been increas-ing problems down there,” Sherry said. “The history has been

they promise us good things, and they just slide back into bad things again,” she said.

Progress? Since a March 11 meet-ing with police, Hatten and Coleman, the 1200 Club has discontinued the hip hop DJ nights held every other Wednesday night. It also improved communica-tions between night staffers and police. “The hip hop nights generated a great deal of hostile and inappropriate behavior,” Hawkins wrote in a May 13 letter to Depu-ty City Manager Tom Han-sen. “Both of these actions significantly reduced our call load to the Burnsville Bowl.” A 1200 Club employee

who had been “at times problematic for our of-ficers” has resigned since the meeting, police Capt. Eric Gieseke reported to Hawkins in a May 12 letter. In some cases, 1200 Club staffers have hesitated to call police for fear of mak-ing the business look bad, according to Gieseke, who has urged staffers to call police anytime they need help. License suspension or revocation must be backed with city documentation that management has failed to take needed actions to curb problems, City Attor-ney Jamnik said.

New ownership Hatten has said that he’s trying to sell the property,

according to Hawkins. One deal has reportedly fallen through. “Mr. Hatten said if a sale does not go through, the bank would take own-ership,” Hawkins wrote in his May 13 letter. He worries that the bank might try to install a temporary liquor license holder while trying to sell the property. “I believe that type of arrangement could be very problematic,” Hawkins wrote.

Burnsville High School is one of two grand prize winners in Toyota’s Drive for Education contest. School officials were awarded the top prize of $10,000 at the state hockey tournament in St. Paul. It will be used to improve the school softball field. Burnsville had already been selected for a $2,500 grand prize, along with 13 other Minnesota high schools. As a grand prize winner, its grant was up-graded to $10,000. Contest rules required students or school person-nel to write a short essay

detailing how their school would use prize money to enhance education. Burnsville Athletic Di-rector Scott Garvis wrote an essay proposing much-needed improvements to the school’s softball field, which will in turn offer expanded opportunities to students across the Burns-ville-Eagan-Savage School District. Over the past 21 years, Toyota and its Minnesota-based dealers have donat-ed more than $400,000 to further education in the state.

Chainsaw art comes to Paideia Academy

Photos submitted

Gene VanAlstine, grandfather of Paideia Academy students Kendra and Micah Schmidt, recently delivered one of his chainsaw-sculpted animals to the Apple Valley public charter school. The sculpture of a black bear – named Gene the Bear (above, inset) – will be placed at the entry of the new ARTboreum Garden that runs along the south side of the school at 7200 147th St. W. The bear sculpture weighs about 600 pounds and was made from a 63-year-old Norway spruce that needed to be cut down to clear a roadway in VanAlstine’s hometown of Cambridge. Above: VanAlstine gives a demonstration of his art form by carving an apple core for the Paideia students.

Standings Blaze rely on entire lineup to get to state

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After consecutive trips to the state tournament in 2004 and 2005, the Burns-ville softball team suffered a four-year drought of play-ing at state. This year it started to rain again for the Blaze. The girls qualified for the Class AAA state tour-nament this week in North Mankato after winning what many players called “easily the toughest section in the state.” “It means everything to me. I’ve wanted to play in the state tournament since I started playing varsity in 10th grade,” senior catcher Maggie Dunsmore said. The Burnsville soft-ball team won the Section 3AAA title on June 3 with a 1-0 victory over Eagan. Pinch hitter Megan Threlkeld hit an infield sin-gle with two outs in the sev-enth inning, sending home Abby Schulberg for the only run in the game. The ball dribbled over to first base and Threlkeld was faster to the base. The fielding wasn’t in time, but just about every-one would have liked to have seen a replay. “I was in shock,” junior pitcher Kelsey Anderson said. “I was just screaming until there was ringing in my ear.” The players who were part of the winning play were underclassmen who came off the bench. “I kept telling the girls you’re going to come in and score the winning run some day,” coach Hillary Hansen said. One thing the players

learned this season was that one hit can make all the difference. During an early-season loss to Bloomington Jefferson, the Blaze lost on just one hit during extra innings. The players referenced the loss several times as the turning point of the season. At the beginning of the season, Burnsville knew it had a solid team with An-derson, Dunsmore, Megan Lehnan and Brooke Se-lisker. But the Blaze needed to replace a few positions, held last year by those who graduated, with fresh play-ers new to varsity. The team also lost Lauren Smith early in the season to an injury. “The new players exceed-

ed my expectations,” Han-sen said. Sophomores Danielle Wolk, Laura Nadeau and Abby Harazin and fresh-men Threlkeld and Schul-berg stepped up in a big way this season. And the experienced vet-erans made sure their dream of making the state tourna-ment never turned into a nightmare. Anderson had 13 strike-outs in the victory against

Eagan. It was the team’s 20th victory of the season. “She’s really grown up,” Hansen said. “After giving up a double (in the section finals), she said that really wasn’t her best pitch and went out and got the final two outs. She’s just really consistent.” Anderson gives credit to the defense behind her. She feels confident no matter what the situation. “I knew I had good de-

fense behind me the whole time,” Anderson said. It was particularly re-freshing to defeat Eagan in the section finals. “The last couple years we’ve lost to Eagan, and all year long we were saying this was our year,” Dun-smore said. Last season, Burnsville entered the section tourna-ment as the No. 1 seed, but ended up losing to Eagan. This year the role was re-versed. Burnsville defeated Eagan twice by a score of 1-0 to qualify for state, get-ting through arguably the strongest section in the state. “We’ve played tough teams every time we’ve stepped on the field this year,” Anderson said. Burnsville didn’t feel as much pressure this season. As the No. 2 seed, the play-ers knew they had a good chance to win without the pressure of being No. 1. “When you’re the No. 1 seed, everyone expects you to win,” Anderson said. Still, the Burnsville play-ers had “all the confidence in the world,” said Dun-smore. After defeating Eagan 1-0 in the section semifinals, the Blaze knew they had the upper hand. The Wildcats got through the losers bracket, defeating Section 3AAA’s Cinder-ella team Lakeville South, which entered the tourna-ment as the No. 7 seed, to play Burnsville again in the finals. “In my mind Eagan should get to go to state too,” Dunsmore said. “It’s too bad.” Burnsville was scheduled to play Brainerd in the state quarterfinals on Thursday.

Seniors make last chance count

With 18 seniors, Eagan boys lacrosse finally makes it to state


For every senior athlete, the goal is to qualify for state. They’ve been playing their sport for several years and it’s their last chance to reach the pinnacle of high school sports. Eagan High School’s boys lacrosse team is headed to the state tournament for the first time thanks to a strong showing from its se-nior players. With 18 seniors, this was Eagan’s last chance for many reasons. “We knew we had to do it this year,” coach Bob Felter said. “This is the smartest team I’ve ever had. We have a bunch of honor students on the team. We can tell them to do anything.” Eagan has been putting the pieces together for sev-eral years. The team has qualified for the section fi-nals several times, but could never get past Eastview. This year Eagan didn’t have to, as Eastview lost to Apple Valley in the section semifinals. The Eagan boys lacrosse

team won the Section 3 tournament on June 4 de-feating Apple Valley 10-4 in the finals. Although Eagan players have made it to state before on a cooperative club team, this is the first time since lacrosse was added as a var-sity sport at Eagan the team has qualified for state. Chris Bowen led the team with three goals and one assist. Kyle Harren also had three goals. Kyle Sturgeon, Will Hersmann, Kyle Grovenstein and Luke Thiele each had a goal as well. Lucas Peterson led with seven saves in goal. While the Wildcats rou-tinely put up double-digit goals every game, it’s the de-fense that has made the dif-ference this year. “They’re not afraid of anything on defense,” Felter said. “Nobody can beat us with two people.” Only two teams have scored double-digit goals against Eagan this season: Eden Prairie and Breck. The Breck game was a month ago and Eden Prairie was two. The Wildcats have held

teams to six or fewer goals in the last five games. With plenty of experi-ence on their side, the Wild-cats were able to mix up their game plan frequently this season. It took a few weeks, but once Eagan set-tled on its offensive and de-fensive strategies, winning soon followed. “We worked on a cou-ple different packages this year,” Hersmann said. “The coaches brought in a more complex offense.” Hersmann has been through almost everything with Eagan. He’s been on varsity for the past three years working toward be-

coming the team’s leading scorer who wins 65 percent of face-offs. “Not many players can say that,” Felter said. “I would take him over anyone else in the state.” But he’s not the only rea-son Eagan made it to the state tournament. With 18 seniors on the team, several players can get to the net on any given night or stop their opponents from getting close to goalkeeper Peter-son. “There’s been so many different players who stepped up this year,” Hers-mann said. Seniors such as Herren,

Bowen, Sturgeon, Brad Dubbink, Grovenstein and Thiele can put up a few goals at any time. Eagan drew the No. 3 seed in the state tournament thanks to a 12-4 record. The Wildcats will played Totino-Grace at 8 p.m. on Thurs-day. With a win, Eagan would play the winner of the Benil-de-St. Margaret’s and Way-zata contest at 8 p.m. on Fri-day at Mounds View High School in the state finals. The third-place game is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Lightning golf qualifies for state for the first time


For the first time in school history, Eastview girls golf is going to state as a team. The Lightning won the Section 3AAA title last

week at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids, ending a 12-year run by Woodbury. Eastview moved into the section last season and finished second behind Woodbury, which recently split with East Ridge High School. It was yet another honor bestowed upon Eastview this season. The girls also won the Lake Conference title. Sara Detlefsen, a sopho-

more, was the medalist at sections with 153. She has won medalist honors sever-al times this season includ-ing all six Lake Conference meets as well as four other invitationals. Her goal next week is to win the Class AAA state tournament after finishing third last season. “I know she’d like to do better than that,” her coach Bob Boldus said. “There’s definitely some great golfers

up there. To win means a lot because of the great golfers that come out of the state.” Her teammates Kristi Opatz, Anna Drahos, Kelly Uhrich, Sam Peterson and Shannon Deutsch will join her at state next week. “It’s all six golfers that really play a part,” coach Bob Boldus said. Opatz had the second-lowest average in the Lake Conference this season be-hind Detlefsen. She was

37th at state last season as well. Anna Drahos was 11th in the conference. “This team is incredible with the way they helped each other,” Boldus said. Uhrich has been up and down this season, shooting anywhere from a low 70 to an 85. “There’s better golf com-ing her way,” Boldus said. “She’s a big part of the

team’s success.” Sam Peterson and Shannon Deutsch round out the lineup. “They’re not just good golfers, but they add a lot of support to the other girls on the team,” Boldus said. “They keep it light. Some of the other girls can take it pretty seriously and they keep it fun. You need those kind of play-ers.” The girls aren’t going up to Bunker Hills on Tues-day through Thursday for state to enjoy the nice golf course. They want to do well. Looking at the other teams, Boldus said he’d like to see Eastview finish in the top three. “We can really make some noise up there,” Bol-dus said. “We can give the top two teams a real go at it.” The secret to playing well in golf is finding some consistency. For Eastview the key will be staying in the now and worrying only about yourself, according to Bol-dus. “I try to keep them in the present and not think about the score,” he said.

“It’s a big course, so I try to make sure they don’t get ahead of themselves. “If you play against someone else, you’re not playing your own game. It’s more of a mind set.” At sections, Eagan was third with 715, Rosemount fourth with 716 and Apple Valley fifth with 775. Rosemount’s Molly Flynn will also make the trip to state after qualify-ing individually. Eagan’s Jessica Braun and Jordy Drenttel also qualified.

Section 3AAA boys The Eagan boys golf team won the Section 3AAA title with a team score of 609 at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids on June 4. Dylan Fodor led the team with 152, Nick Kuchera 154, Ryan Lutz 155, Jack Kaupa and Evan Kvittem carded 155. Der-ick Kuchera totaled 159. Other area qualifiers include Max Tylke from Eastview, who scored 149. His teammate Sam Chris-tian will join him after shooting 154. From Apple Valley, Aaron Michaelson qualified with 154.
