The Apple Valley CityCouncil approved the final 21contracts for constructing thenew municipal clubhouse atValleywood Golf Course, 4851McAndrews Road, at its Jan. 12meeting.

The contracts were approvedby a 4-0 vote, with councilmem-ber Ruth Grendahl abstaining.

Grendahl said she abstainedfrom voting “just to be consis-tent with my not supporting theproject from the beginning.”

Original bid fees for the proj-ect totaled $3.2 million, saidParks and RecreationDepartment Director RandyJohnson. After the Valleywoodtask force met in December, itdecided to remove some projectcomponents and scale downcertain elements.

Rosemount native andLakeville resident DanMcCarty has lead an inter-esting life. He graduatedfrom Eastview High Schoolin Apple Valley in 1999 – thefirst graduating class at theschool. McCarty then joinedthe Minnesota ArmyNational Guard in 1999 andserved out of West St. Paul,completing two full-timecall-ups.

M c C a r t yserved at theMinneapolis-St. PaulInternationalAirport foreight monthsfollowing theSept. 11, 2001,attacks on theWorld TradeCenter in New York City,providing security augmen-tation for the airport.Afterwards, he wasdeployed for an 11-month

tour serving in Kosovo inlate 2003 and early 2004.McCarty was honorably dis-charged as a sergeant in2005.

In September 2005,McCarty was hired by theEagan Police Departmentand has served there formore than six years.

Through all his life expe-riences, McCarty has main-tained a passion for creativewriting, but did not alwayshave the time to pursue ituntil recently.

McCarty self-publishedhis first novel, “A SoldierReborn,” with the help ofthe Edina-based BeaverPress in November 2011.

keep the hydronic heating systems, com-puterized temperature controls andenergy-efficient lighting systems as partof the project.

“These elements are considered to belong-term investments,” Johnson said,adding the city anticipates the club-house will last 50 to 75 years.

After factoring in these adjustments,the approved total project cost is now$3,198,279, nearly $200,000 more than the$3 million project cost approved by thecity council last July.

“I was shocked at 3 million and thefact that it’s 3.2 million has me evenmore shocked,” Grendahl said.

Work on the new clubhouse is under-way, said Johnson, with the foundationalready in place and concrete cin-derblock walls beginning to go up.

The final 21 approved contracts keepsthe project on schedule, with the club-house expected to open in early fall 2012,said Johnson.

The city will use $1.2 million from itspark dedication fund and take out a $2million loan from its future capital proj-ects fund to finance the clubhouse proj-ect, said Johnson.

The initial financial plan called for

the city to use $1 million from the parkdedication fund, but the contract bidsbrought that number up. This fund has acurrent balance of $1,531,352, which willdecrease to $331,352 once the projectfunds are used, Johnson said.

The $2 million loan from the futurecapital projects fund will be repaid withinterest with minimum goal of $50,000repayment per year, said Johnson.

The loan should be paid off within sixyears, said Johnson.

Councilmember Tom Goodwin hopesthe city can pay back the loan at a quick-er rate if the economy recovers and rev-enues become available.

An element that raised the projectcost is the inclusion of an elevator in thenew clubhouse.

“I look at that elevator as essential forthe type of business that is being operat-ed out there, but also the fact that I don’twant to see a worker’s claim filed,” saidcouncilmember John Bergman.

Goodwin, who serves on theValleywood task force, said the groupconsidered a traditional, sit-downrestaurant and conference center for thenew clubhouse before ultimatelyscratching those plans.

The task force will serve concession-type foods at the new clubhouse,Goodwin said.

“One thing that was constant amongthe folks on the committee is we didn’t

want to go into competition with folks[in Apple Valley] that had a conferencecenter,” said Goodwin. “We also didn’twant to go into competition with folkswho are paying property taxes who haverestaurants.”

“Now, what we’re trying to do is we’retrying to help that guy…that person whodoes the 18 holes and wants a quick ham-burger or a hot dog.”

The new clubhouse will not be openyear round, but can be opened for spe-cial events as needed, Johnson said.

“If someone wanted to rent the build-ing for a class reunion or a weddingreception, we would do that to use that

space,” said Johnson, adding the citywould factor in any energy costs of run-ning and operating the building into therental fee.

“I think the whole thing is going tokind of evolve. I really do,” Goodwinadded. “And, that’s why we wanted tokeep some of these heating elementsinto it. We may find that there’s quite ademand for this building.”

Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland saidbuilding a new clubhouse was ultimate-ly more cost effective than repairing theold clubhouse, originally built in 1980.

“That’s why I think it’s really impor-tant to do it,” she said.

Drops in energy happen slowly. They sneak up on you over the yearsuntil you suddenly realize life is passing you by. Why? Because you areeither waking up tired or by the time 5 o’clock rolls around you arespent. Coffee and stimulants only go so far and once the weight comes onyou are now trapped in a vicious cycle, making it hard to be productiveand enjoy life. But this pattern can be broken. You do not have to go through lifetired. I successfully helped many people gain better energy over the pastseveral years. It’s not that difficult. I find most of my patients are walk-ing around eating the wrong foods (when they think they are the rightfoods), sleeping horribly and taking way too many medications for issuesthey may no longer have.

I had enough experience to try and fab-ricate a unique story and write it inthe voice of someone who has livedthrough some amazing experiences.

Q: In a nutshell, what is the bookabout?

A: The book is about a special forcessoldier, William Connelly, who is mor-tally wounded during a raid on a ter-rorist compound. His dying body isflown back to America where he

undergoes a top-secret surgery thatimplants his brain into a donor body.Five years later a police detectiveinvestigates a murder that uncoversthe top-secret program. With his life indanger, he must survive long enoughsolve the murder and discover whatreally happened to Connelly.

Q: How did your experiences inlaw enforcement, the military andas an Emergency MedicalTechnician shape this book?

A: The book is a mix of militaryaction, law enforcement action/inves-tigation and medical science-fiction.As a former fire team leader in the

Army infantry I used my training andexperience to shape the military actionusing real meth-ods and language.As a crime scenetechnician andpolice officer, Iemployed basiccrime scene tech-niques withi n v e s t i g a t i v ereality to create arealistic investi-gation and mytime as an EMThelped me shapethe lethality ofcertain woundsand some medicalterminology usedin the book.

Q: What has been the feedback sofar from friends, family and otherreaders of the book?

A: What has impressed me mostabout the feedback has been the gener-al audience’s reaction to the book. Iwrote the book for the enjoyment offellow officers and military veteransbut I’ve had great response from bothmales and females from all walks oflife. Most people have a hard time put-ting down the book and my two biggestcomplaints are people getting

engrossed in the book and people want-ing more books.

Q: Do youhave plans towrite a secondor follow-upnovel?

A: The storyof WilliamConnelly isonly one thirdof the way com-plete. When Istarted writingthe story I hadno idea howlong the bookwould be. Iknew most nov-

els come in around 300 pages so Iaimed to stop writing at that point andI feel like I have another 2/3rds to go. Ibelieve this book will be the first of atrilogy about William Connelly and Iplan to write additional novels afterthe trilogy is complete.

“A Soldier Reborn” by Dan McCartyis available for purchase at LocalBarnes & Noble Bookstores and beaver-spondbooks.com, barnesandnoble.comand amazon.com. E-versions of thebook are available on amazon.com andbarnesandnoble.com.

points and backgrounds. Someof those viewpoints and back-grounds may be unpopular, butthose letter writers are just asdeserving of having their opin-ions printed as any other.

We have a very simpleprocess we go through when aletter arrives. First, we examineit based on a few simple qualifi-cations such as word length,whether it has a signature and

phone number, the housekeep-ing side of things. The next stepis a bit more intangible, but justas clear-cut: Does the letteraddress a local issue, an issuepertinent to the community andapplicable to that community?

We also determine the basisfor the letter writers’ opinion.We don’t edit opinions, but wedo edit facts. It’s up to the letterwriters to supply the source for

any fact provided. If someonemakes a claim that either weknow is not true, is unverifiableor is not provided with a source,then we have to ask the letterwriter to correct it. Also, we’lledit or hold a letter if the writerresorts to name-calling insteadof putting forth a persuasiveargument. We can also correct

Turtle, this is sea:It is the most pervasive, rele-

vant “Top 5” list I have evercome across.

It was a blog post, and nowit’s a book: “The Top FiveRegrets of the Dying.”

A palliative care worker,Bronnie Ware, wrote both afterspending a lot of time with peo-ple weeks before their death.

“I learnt never to underesti-mate someone’s capacity forgrowth,” she wrote in her blog.“Some changes were phenome-nal. Each experienced a varietyof emotions, as expected, denial,

fear, anger, remorse, moredenial and eventually accept-ance. Every single patient foundtheir peace before they departedthough, every one of them.”

“When questioned about anyregrets they had or anythingthey would do differently, com-

mon themes surfaced again andagain.”

Those themes:• “I wish I’d had the courage

to live a life true to myself, notthe life others expected of me.”

• “I wish I didn’t work sohard.”

• “I wish I’d had the courageto express my feelings.”

• “I wish I had stayed in touchwith my friends.”

• “I wish that I had let myselfbe happier.”

Hmm.Some of them hit home, no?

The blog expounds on eachtopic. But, the titles say a lot.

It’s kind of hard not to imag-ine yourself older, lying in bed,looking up at a blank ceiling andfilling it with memories fromthese categories. Well, older ifyou’re lucky enough to get thatfar.

Even so, the good thing is,many of us still have time tomake those memories.

At least one of those has to benagging at you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s build thepipelineTo the editor:

As the owner of a construc-tion company and a member ofthe Partnership to Fuel America,I could not agree more that weneed to build the Keystone XLPipeline, which stretches fromCanada down to Texas.

The bottom line is that oureconomy needs jobs and theKeystone pipeline is a REALshovel ready project that will pro-vide thousands of jobs forAmerican workers, like me. Ontop of the economic benefits the

pipeline will also increase ournation’s energy security. Givenrecent threats by Iran to close theStrait of Hormuz, our electedofficials should be doing every-thing they can to find reliableand stable sources of energy. TheKeystone pipeline would be justsuch a source of energy, allowingus to build closer ties withCanada while decreasing ourdependence on the volatileMiddle East.

Now is the time to put politicsaside and do what is best forAmerican workers and theirfamilies by approving theKeystone pipeline.

My tax dollars wellspent in EaganTo the editor:

People complain about thetaxes we pay, includingmyself, but we don’t alwaysappreciate the benefits. A fewmonths ago I had my car bro-ken into by drug addicts,which caused about $1,500worth of damage.

The Eagan detectives fin-gerprinted items that weretaken out of my glove box,which helped the DakotaCounty Attorney’s Office inthe conviction of the person

responsible.They are now working with

the probation department toget restitution for me. Thisfolks, is our taxes in action.

My sincere thanks go out tothe Eagan Police Departmentas well as the Dakota CountyAttorney’s Office for theirquick action and followthrough.

I may get restitution, I maynot, but at the very least I feellike our criminal justice sys-tem works well, and the taxesthat go toward this system isbeing well spent.

Or, remember the stuff thatis often too easy to forget


it ourselves if possible, and at worst,we’ll just omit the claim or letter entire-ly.

But, we hate to do that. We want let-ters to form ink as easily as possible. Ifthere is something being said you don’tlike, please write a letter and let us knowyour opinion, too.

And as a reminder, on our opinionpage we allow a writer to submit a letteronce every four weeks. So, if there is are-occurring topic addressed in letters to

the editor, and you are getting tired ofreading about it once every month on theopinion page, we can apologize but wedon’t want to limit voices, either.

Please remember, just because weprint a letter in our pages does not meanthe Sun-Current espouses that view-point. This is a forum for discussion. Welike to keep it that way, as all newspapersshould, and we hope you like it that way,too.

So, how great would it be if you couldtake it off the backburner? It doesn’thave to be long, arduous or a soul search.Whatever that is.

A mere ten minutes a day could do it.Maybe it’s as simple as playing the har-monica, but you haven’t because youknew the idea wouldn’t be well receivedfrom others. Well guess what? It’s yourharmonica — go play the thing. Who cares how it

sounds. And, what would happen if you can-

celled that cable subscription? How muchtime would that free up?

All I’ll say from personal experience isafter reading the blog last fall, I thought alot about it and made adjustments.

It hasn’t been a glum process with anundertone of a long-term bucket list. No.It’s a relief. It’s fun. It’s empowering. It’syour own “Waking Ned Divine,” only notas dramatic, simpler and as regular aspouring a cup of coffee.

Anyway, I’ll shut up now. The blog ison inspirationandchai.com. Give it aread. You’ll know what to do.

President Jim Baueropened seventh metrolocation Nov. 1, 2011BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Jim Bauer opened his first Rocco’sPizza location in Oakdale in April 1988.

Since that time, the Rocco’s Pizzapresident has slowly expanded his busi-ness throughout the eastern suburbs,branching out to W. St. Paul, Woodbury,Cottage Grove and Little Canada overthe next eight years.

Fourteen years went by before Bauer

opened another location in Shoreview in2010.

Now, Bauer has expanded south ofthe river and opened his first Rocco’sPizza in Dakota County on Nov. 1, 2011,at 14050 Pilot Knob Road, Apple Valley.

Franchise owner Charlie Fish choseApple Valley due to its proximity to hishometown in Lakeville. Fish co-ownsand manages this location with BillPryor of Prescott, Wis.

“They’re doing great,” said Bauer ofFish and Pryor. “They’ve got a reallynice relationship with the high school.”

Bauer said the Apple Valley Rocco’sdelivers hundreds of pizzas a week toEastview High School, located a fewblocks away, for their sporting events.

“Most of the kids that work their goto the school,” added Bauer, of LakeElmo.

The Apple Valley Rocco’s operateslike the other six locations, focusing ontake-out and delivery service.

Bauer said his restaurant employeestake pride in the care they give inpreparing each pizza.

“We’re old school,” Bauer said. “Wegrate our own cheese. We make our owndough, cut and roll it. I still make myown sauce and sausage for all thestores.”

Rocco’s employees assemble the piz-zas in the stores, unlike many chainpizza businesses that simply reheatfrozen pizzas, Bauer said.

“You’re getting an authentic pizza,”he said. “We’re actually cooking pizza.”

Bauer has plans to expand his busi-ness further north and west, hoping toopen a new location in Coon Rapids orBlaine this coming fall.

Ideally, Bauer said he wants to open anew Rocco’s store once a year going for-ward. But, that is dependent on findingquality franchise managers and ownershe can trust.

In Apple Valley, Bauer knows he hastwo men who are more than capable forthe job.

“I want to make sure I’ve got the rightpeople running and working the storesand Bill and Charlie are definitely theright people,” said Bauer.

Garlough teacherawarded $1,000 fromCarbone’s Pizza

Garlough Environmental MagnetSchool second grade teacher AnneBolsem was awarded $1,000 from theCarbone’s Pizzeria “Carbone’s in theCommunity” program. The money willbe used to buy Playaways – individuallistening devices with stories recordedon them – for the school.

“This grant will help so many of thestudents at Garlough improve theirreading fluency and their visualizationskills,” said Bolsem. “Students lovehearing the expressive reading andusing their imaginations to create theirown pictures to go along with the sto-ries.”

Students at the District 197 school usePlayaways to listen to readings, visual-ize stories and hear fluent and expres-sive reading.

Bolsem was the “Carbone’s in theCommunity” grant program’s first win-ner. Individuals applied online for profitand nonprofit public or private schoolsand other educational organizationsbased on an education-based programproposal.

Bolsem was selected for her com-pelling essay addressing how she woulduse $1,000 to help provide educationalexperiences for students at her school.

Carbone’s representatives presenteda $1,000 check to Bolsem Thursday, Jan.5, at her classroom.

“I have applied for several othergrants over the past few years to noavail, so this was such an amazing andexciting surprise,” said Bolsem. “It wasa simple application with a largereward.”

Pilot Knob STEMstudents benefit frommentoring program

BY DANIEL CALLAHANSUN NEWSPAPERS

Looking around the USO at the SanDiego International Airport, you mightthink the numerous Marine Corpsrecruits were getting ready for camp. Theylounge on easy chairs, grab snacks anddrinks from the kitchen, watch televisionand relax.

For the moment, they don’t appear tooconcerned with why they’ve arrived inSan Diego. It was said they try and makethem as comfortable as they can knowingwhat will follow for the next three months.They’re almost carefree. For now.

What they don’t know is they’ll be

awake for between 36-48 hours beforethey’re allowed to sleep. And by that time,their lives will have changed substantially.

‘Get outside now!’The USO volunteers, many of them

retired military or parents of active dutypersonnel, are familiar with the “con-trolled chaos” that will soon ensue.

“We know to move over here,” behindthe counter, said volunteer Gary Couture,when the drill instructor arrives.

And he arrives soon. Loudly.“Anyone here for Marine recruit train-

ing, get outside now!” Around 100 recruits fall over them-

selves to get out the door and get into for-

mation – four lines stretching along a wallwhile they stare straight ahead – andreceive their first orders. This can be com-plicated by language barriers as well. Tojoin the U.S. military, you don’t have to be acitizen, just possess a green card.

Anyone wearing Marine Corps gear istold to turn it inside out. A roll call istaken. Harshly. They’re told to move theirwallets and any personal belongings totheir front pockets. They’re stripped ofany extra clothing to only a single shirt.Those with bags are pulled aside and madequite aware they brought too much.

Each movement is accentuated by thesame “do you understand?” from the drillinstructor and a chorus of “yes, sir,” from

the recruits. Every move they make isscrutinized and monitored, as it will be fortheir entire training.

Those movements are jerky and unco-ordinated, a far cry from the precision therecruits will learn over the next threemonths.

Then they’re hustled onto buses pow-ered by natural gas, and sent off to standwhere many have stood before.

The Yellow FootprintsNormally six drill instructors meet the

recruits when they arrive at the MarineCorps Recruit Depot in San Diego, but as

few as four can handle the work. It’s not aneasy job, and it requires substantial personalsacrifice on the part of the instructor. Longhours, apart from family, are needed to proper-ly train a Marine recruit.

Breaking them down, “it’s the only way,”Gunnery Sgt. Ronna Weyland of the 9thMarine Corps Recruiting District said. Andthe first two weeks, Phase One of the training,consists of the breakdown.

And they’re just getting started.The instructors get the recruits off the bus,

on to the famed Yellow Footprints and beginwith a quick lesson on standing at attentionbefore they’re given a primer in the UnitedStates Code of Military Justice, where theylearn what is expected of them as members ofthe U.S. military.

Next is contraband.The recruits are allowed to keep very little

with them. In fact, they’re told not to bringanything to recruit training. Cell phones aretaken away and shipped to the address onrecord. Medication is taken away. Anyweapons, tobacco, books (other than religioustexts) are confiscated. Extra clothing is placedin one bag, any cash in another. They’ll keepthe money, but their clothing will soon be putin storage for the next 13 weeks.

Getting into uniformThe continual barking in recruits’ faces is

intentional, said senior drill instructor StaffSgt. Justin Hansen. It promotes a sense of

chaos, carefully controlled by the drill instruc-tors, so the recruits are disoriented.

The instructors quickly become hoarse,but they’re used to the abuse on theirthroats.

“You break your voice down and rebuildit,” said Hansen.

The recruits, already beginning to showsigns of the strain placed on them from theconstant motion and yelling, are allowed toscream one scripted call home to let some-one know they’ve arrived safely. Thenthey’re cut off.

“For three months ... they’re out of touchwith the outside world,” Weyland said. Forthe next two weeks at least, they won’t evenbe allowed to write a letter.

Haircuts follow. Their heads are shavedinto the buzzcut they’ll wear until they’rethrough training. Then onto administrationwhere they are processed into the system.They’re issued identical camouflage uni-forms and gear. The purpose of the unifor-mity is two-fold: To remind recruits theirworld has changed and to form a sense ofteam over the individual.

Soon those wearing glasses will evenhave them replaced with standardized,durable plastic frames and lenses.Commonly known as “BCGs” — or “birthcontrol glasses” — the young men aren’tgoing to win any beauty contests.

But, they’ve started to look like MarineCorps recruits.

Eagan girls skaters win3-1, even season seriesBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Many of those at Eagan Civic Arenahad good reason to feel conflicted.

Natalie Darwitz was leading her newteam in a game against players shehelped train.

Scott Darwitz had to figure out if hecould still be proud of his daughterwhile trying to beat her team.

And Eagan fans must have wonderedif they would invite bad karma bycheering against someone whoseretired jersey is displayed in the build-ing.

Before long, though, everyone putaside those unsettling feelings andwatched a hockey game unfold.

Natalie Darwitz, one of the playerswho helped put Minnesota high schoolgirls hockey on the map, returned toEagan Civic Arena on Jan. 21. For thefirst time, she was there as the opposingcoach as her Lakeville South team tookon Eagan, her alma mater. Adding to theintrigue was her father Scott’s presencebehind the other team’s bench as theWildcats’ co-head coach.

Eagan won 3-1 to gain a split in theseason series between the teams(Lakeville South beat Eagan 6-0 on Dec.

10 in Lakeville).Still, it was clear that Natalie

Darwitz is always welcome at the Eaganrink, even if she’s coaching the opposi-tion. A Eagan jersey with her old No. 20can be found on one of the walls. Shescored 316 goals in 104 high schoolgames – in other words, Darwitz aver-aged a hat trick a game.

“A couple of my old high schoolteammates came to the game and theytold me, ‘We don’t know who we’re sup-posed to cheer for. You’re our friend, butwe went to Eagan,’” she said.

It’s the second time she has been onthe visiting team’s bench at Eagan CivicArena. The first time was December2009 when the U.S. women’s nationalteam played an exhibition game againstthe Eagan High School boys varsity.

Since the Olympics, she has gonefull-speed into a coaching career thatstarted as an assistant with the EaganHigh girls team. She was an assistantcoach at the University of Minnesotabefore choosing a different path lastsummer.

“She’s been traveling since she was

15 years old,” Scott Darwitz said. “At the‘U,’ she was the recruiting coordinatorand still traveling a lot. She wanted tosettle down a bit, go back to school andget a degree in education.

“At first she wanted to come backand coach with me, but I told her, ‘Youneed an identity. Take over a programand build it.’”

That led Natalie Darwitz to LakevilleSouth, which played in the state tourna-ment two of the last three years butneeded a new head coach.

Lakeville South is 15-5-1 in her firstseason, but Saturday’s loss to Eagandropped the Cougars to 9-3-1 in theSouth Suburban Conference. That putthem six points behind league-leadingLakeville North with just four gamesremaining.

“I thought we controlled most of thepace and play in the first period, eventhough we were down 2-1,” NatalieDarwitz said. “[Eagan] responded in thesecond and third periods and we didn’tplay as well.

SPORTSNORDIC MEET MOVED

Lack of snow has forced the South SuburbanConference Nordic skiing championships to moveto Green Acres Recreation in Lake Elmo, wherethere is a trail with man-made snow. The confer-ence meet will be 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Wrestlers visit Wisconsin,Iowa, North DakotaBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

With the most grueling portion of theschedule in the background, AppleValley’s wrestlers now turn their attentionto winning a seventh consecutive statechampionship.

When the Eagles returned from a tour-nament in Lisbon, N.D., last weekend, theyconcluded the out-of-state portion of theschedule. They had been to three differentstates over three weeks, with each triprequiring a bus ride of five hours (one-way) or more.

Now they won’t have to spend morethan about an hour on a bus to get to any oftheir remaining matches or tournamentsas they prepare for Class 3A, Section 3competition next month.

They’ll also spend some time recharg-ing, physically and mentally.

“We’ll taper. We’ve already started,”coach Jim Jackson said. “Some of our kidsare banged up, so we need to get healthy.

“We’ll still work hard, but not quite aslong. The kids like that.”

Since mid-December, the Eagles havemade two trips to Rochester, winning theMinnesota Christmas Tournament andfinishing second in the Clash Duals. Theywent to Wisconsin, where they repeated aschampions in the CheeseheadInvitational. They rode to Iowa City, wherethey won a round-robin quadrangular.And they visited North Dakota for a dual-meet tournament.

The Eagles emerged from that stretchwith six wrestlers ranked first in Class 3Ain their weight classes. Some unsungheroes also emerged.

“Paul Cheney is a kid who wrestled at152 pounds last year as a ninth-grader,”Jackson said. “Now he’s wrestling at 195.

Eagles look torecharge afterlong hourson the road

DARWITZ: TO NEXT PAGEWRESTLING: TO PAGE 22


“I hope it’s a good lesson for our kidsabout how they have to play in the playoffs.You have to be consistent for 51 minutes.”

Eagan trailed Lakeville North by fivepoints in the SSC standings at the start ofthe week but had a chance to pull closerwhen the Wildcats played at North on Jan.24.

Junior forward Megan Wolfe, theWildcats’ leading scorer, scored twice inthe first period and assisted on AlannaStangl’s empty-net goal with 25 secondsremaining. Ari Reid scored for in the first

period for Lakeville South.Before taking the Lakeville South job,

Natalie Darwitz ran the Eagan girls team’ssummer program for several years.

Playing against her team was “kind offun,” Eagan senior captain Megan Jurickosaid. “It was almost like she was trainingus to beat her own team. We all love her.She spent a lot of time with us in the sum-mer.”

Father and daughter both said thecoaching chess game became more inter-esting because each is familiar with theother’s hockey strategy.

Scott Darwitz said he sees some coach-ing tactics that his daughter picked upfrom him, but “I’ll tell you what – I’ve alsolearned a lot from her. It’s been a pleasureto watch her all these years.”

Eastview girls still know winning basketball formulaBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Eastview went into this week with asix-game winning streak in girls basket-ball, but coach Melissa Guebert says noneof those is her favorite.

In fact, her favorite game isn’t even aLightning victory.

Guebert, the Lightning’s first-yearhead coach, insists that a 54-51 loss lastmonth at Bloomington Kennedy told hermore about her team than any victorycould have.

The Eastview players could find outhow much they have learned in the lastmonth when they face Kennedy again at7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, on theLightning’s home court.

Kennedy went into this week 8-0 in theSouth Suburban Conference, with

Eastview second at 7-1. The Eagles areranked fourth in Class 4A, while theLightning is 10th.

So, what did Guebert like about thefirst Kennedy game?

“We were coming off the worst gameyou could imagine against Hopkins [a 64-22 loss Dec. 13],” she said. “It was ablowout. Then we had to go to Kennedythree days later. We played a great gameand had a chance to tie it in the final sec-onds, but our shot went in and out.”

Eastview’s winning streak started Jan.3 against Eagan and continued againstfive other South Suburban opponents.The common theme: defense. Only oncein the Lightning’s last six games has theopponent scored more than 50 points.

“Against Prior Lake [a 53-42 Eastviewvictory on Jan. 20], I didn’t think we

played particularly well in the first half,”Guebert said. “We talked at halftimeabout some of the things we needed to do,and we held Prior Lake to 15 points in thesecond half.”

Guard Madison Guebert, a ninth-grad-er, scored 14 points against Prior Lake.Seniors Emily Young and Amber Mehrhad 11 points each.

Becoming accustomed to a new coach’sexpectations is difficult enough, butEastview’s players also had to adapt tonew roles. None of the returning varsityplayers previously were big scorers forthe Lightning. Madison Guebert was ascorer, but at the traveling-team level.

“The kids all understand how impor-tant they are,” Melissa Guebert said. “Notthat they didn’t in the past, but they havenew roles this year.”

They also might believe they havesomething to prove. After graduating thetop two scorers from last year and losinghead coach Paul Goetz (who resigned sohe could watch his son play basketball atRosemount High School), some ques-tioned if Eastview could continue to con-tend for conference and section champi-onships.

Madison Guebert averages 16.5 pointsa game and Mehr scores 12.4. Five otherplayers – Young, Tyra Johnson, PaigePalkovich, Meghan Ryan and HannahShie – average about four to seven points.

Through a collective effort, they haveanswered the skeptics.

“They’ve had people asking them, ‘Doyou guys really think you’re going to bethat good this year?’” Melissa Guebertsaid. “But they do know how to win.”

Notebook: Legendary Burnsville coach gets hall of fame callBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Legendary Burnsville High Schoolcoach Dick Hanson will be inducted intothe Minnesota Football CoachesAssociation Hall of Fame in March, theschool learned last week.

Hanson was Burnsville’s head coachfor 25 years (1969-93), and his teams were192-56-2 during that time. Burnsville wonstate championships in 1972, 1980, 1985,1989 and 1991, and was a state runner-upin 1984.

Current Burnsville head coach TylerKrebs nominated Hanson for the award.Krebs, a Lakeville High School graduate,played against a Hanson-coached team in

his final high school game whenBurnsville defeated Lakeville 10-7 in the1991 Prep Bowl.

Hanson was a scout for the 1960Burnsville team that won a conferencechampionship, then joined Bob Pates’staff as an assistant coach the followingyear. Hanson took over as head coach in1969 when Pates became BHS athleticdirector.

The BHS stadium now bears the nameof both men: Dick Hanson Field at BobPates Stadium.

Hanson, also a nationally recognizedmath teacher, has an annual golf tourna-ment in his name. The HansonScholarship Fund Tournament raises

money for student and teacher scholar-ships. Last year seven student scholar-ships and three teacher scholarshipswere awarded.

The MFCA Hall of Fame Banquet isscheduled March 31.

No hit on Privette?The Minnesota State High School

League’s tougher penalties for three spe-cific hockey violations – checking frombehind, boarding and contact to the head– took effect last week.

Meanwhile, one player whose injuryhelped provide the impetus for thechanges – St. Croix Lutheran seniorJenna Privette – was released from

Hennepin County Medical Center.Privette, a Burnsville resident, has beenmoved to a private rehabilitation facility,Let’s Play Hockey reported.

Shortly before announcing the tougherpenalties, the MSHSL issued a report stat-ing there was no evidence that Privette’sJan. 6 injury resulted from an illegal hit.

Privette’s parents, Dan and Penny, dis-agreed with the finding. They have main-tained since their daughter was injuredthat she was checked from behind andknocked into the boards.

Privette plays for the MinnehahaSaints, a co-op girls team consisting ofplayers from Minnehaha Academy, St.Croix Lutheran and St. Agnes.

At the Cheesehead, he had to wrestle forfifth place against a kid who beat him ear-lier in the tournament. Paul won thatmatch in overtime.

“We won the Cheesehead by what, fourpoints? That match was big. He did a great

job.”Apple Valley, ranked fourth nationally

and first in Minnesota Class 3A, haswrestlers ranked in the top 10 in the statein every weight class except one. No. 1-ranked wrestlers are sophomore SethGross (120), ninth-grader Dayton Racer(138), eighth-grader Mark Hall (145),eighth-grader Mason Manville (152), sen-ior Brandon Kingsley (160) and juniorDaniel Woiwor (182).

Dakota Trom, like Kingsley a three-

time state champion, is ranked second at132. He might get a crack at the top-rankedwrestler, Forest Lake’s Ben Morgan, at theForest Lake Duals on Saturday, Jan. 28.Morgan defeated Trom in the MinnesotaChristmas Tournament to move to the No.1 spot.

Trom might watch video of that matchto look for something he can use if he facesMorgan again. Jackson said the coachesencourage the wrestlers to watch theirown matches.

Videos aren’t difficult to find. Matchesfeaturing Apple Valley’s higher-profilewrestlers are all over YouTube and vari-ous wrestling websites.

“We rarely watch videos of someoneelse. We want the kids to focus on them-selves,” Jackson said. “The philosophy isto improve on what you’re doing.”

The Eagles, 6-0 in South SuburbanConference matches, also will wrestleBloomington Kennedy/Jefferson at 7 p.m.Friday, Jan. 27, at Kennedy High School.

I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize,reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness wherepeople have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices youmake are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it beeven better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary?

Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end.The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you rightback where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on aLifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitablylead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”

Check out Ali’s blog for more health & wellness tips!Go to Minnlocal.com and click on the “Health” tab

or check out her website:www.coreconditioningtraining.com

By: Ali Holman, co-owner of www.coreconditioningtraining.com

beansBeans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

eggsEggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for egg- whites for the low-cholesterol, fat- burning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

low-fat dairyStudies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

oatmealOatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

lean meatsSearch for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

whole grainsOur body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.
