Monarch garden createsexcitement for studentsat Vista View ElementaryBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

A pair of Burnsville teachers islearning that one small idea can liter-ally grow into five practical gardensthat generate excitement for students.

Vista View Elementary Schoolteachers Lynn Rhinevault and JeanBrostrom started a monarch garden atthe school to create excitement in stu-dents’ learning and to get them out-side. What they did not necessarilyexpect was the outpouring of commu-nity support that has led to a total offive gardens that are being used forteaching.

“Children are not just reading aboutit,” Rhinevault said. “They are livingit.”

Rhinevault is very excited about theproject that began a few years ago aftershe and Brostrom attended classes atthe University of Minnesota, one classcalled Schoolyard Ecology and theother Monarchs and More.

After applying for and beingapproved for a nearly $1,000 grant, thetwo started with one monarch gardento help bring students outside, withthe hope of generating excitement intheir learning.

But their expectations for the gar-den were greatly exceeded after thestudents took to the project much moreto heart than both Rhinevault andBrostrom envisioned. Many volunteersand businesses have also donated time,services and supplies.

“What started with an idea to pro-vide an additional learning environ-ment for our students has grown into acommunity building opportunity,”Rhinevault said.

According to Rhinevault, the sup-port that she and the others involvedin the project have received was unex-pected and a little overwhelming.Since the beginning of the project, onevolunteer in particular has been oftremendous support.

“I’m working with them to create amonarch waystation,” said SusanFagnat of Hastings. Fagnat is a natu-

Discarded cigaretteapparent cause ofLakeville structure fire

Members of the Lakeville FireDepartment were dispatched to a possi-ble structure fire apparently caused byan improperly discarded cigarette at 1:50p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, at 17526 HaverhillCircle.

Lakeville police officers arriving onscene indicated that there was a fire onthe front porch with heavy smoke. Theywere able to access the deck from therear of the home and locate a singleoccupant and remove him from thestructure.

Arriving fire units upgraded theresponse to second alarm, which dis-patched all four fire stations to the scene.

Fire crews were able to knock the firedown quickly, which greatly reduced thedamage to the interior of the home.Lakeville Fire Marshal BrianCarstensen said that the two front win-dows on the house were broken from theextreme heat and that the fire was pro-gressing into the house as firefightersarrived.

Carstensen said fire crews did anexcellent job stopping the fire from mov-ing beyond the front room of the house.They were also concerned with the loca-tion of the gas meter, which was locatedin the front of the home and melted as aresult of the fire.

Due to the smoke damage, as well asthe gas meter damage, the homeownerswere unable to occupy the home after thefire. There were no reported injuries.

The cause of the fire appeared to be a dis-carded cigarette, according to the LFD.

The Lakeville Police Department andAllina Ambulance assisted the LFD.

Lakevile Police Officer ShawnFitzhenry responded to an apartmentbuilding on a report of loud music com-ing from an apartment. He easily locatedthe apartment due to the loud music thatwas audible in the hallway of the build-ing.

One night under the lights forthe love of the gameSpecial needs softballteams compete inannual tournament inLakevilleBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

An annual softball tournament maynot garner the fanfare of the WorldSeries, but for more than 200 specialneeds players, it is their night to shine.

For nearly seven years, KotaConnections of Lakeville has been coor-dinating the Dakota County softballleague at Aronson Park. And each yearthe season culminates with one night offun, food and softball. This year, thatnight was Aug. 16.

Kota Connections has provided serv-ices for special needs adults for nearly 20years. In addition to softball, the organi-zation assists its clients with apartmentchecks, medical appointments, andsocial activities.

The organization’s softball league justhappens to be its most popular activity.

According to Kota Connections ownerDavid Modrynski, it has been a very pop-ular event not only for the players butalso for family, friends and fans as well.

“We’ve been averaging over 300 [spec-tators] for the past three or four years,”Modrynski said.

The season begins every year in Aprilwith tryouts and runs through the sum-mer until the big night when teams rep-resenting Kota and similar organiza-tions, mostly in Dakota County, competeagainst one another, as well as all-starand exhibition games.

The all-star teams consist of selectedplayers from throughout the league,while the exhibition game pits all-starsagainst many Dakota County socialworkers.

“We work with Dakota County andtheir social workers,” Modrynski said.“They put a team together that comesdown.”

The league has all-stars for both the Aand B levels of play, and the social work-ers compete against the players at each.

“It’s very unusual to get social work-ers to come on their own time to partici-pate,” he added. “That’s pretty neat.”

But the excitement seemingly restsmostly with the more than 200 players.

Bryana Seifert, Burnsville residentand coach of the B-level KC Lightening,said the players are excited about thetournament all year long, especially dur-ing the final night of the season whenthey play under the bright lights atAronson Park in front of hundreds offans.

Fellow Kota Connections coach KerriSpidahl, a Lakeville resident and coachfor nearly 10 years, underscored Seifert’scomments.

“They live for this league,” she said.“Some of them who are really into it willpractice on their own. It’s all they talkabout all year.”

Robbin Blanchard is a KotaConnections client and a player who hasbeen active in softball for nearly 10years. Blanchard became a Kota clientafter being in a motor vehicle accident in2001 that left him disabled. He is also acertified coach for the Special Olympics.

“It’s just nice to have fun,” he said. “Ifwe lose, we lose. It’s fun to win, but weare here to enjoy the game and beinvolved with a bunch of people, so it’slots of fun.”

Due to a more recent injury,Blanchard has been working with play-ers, namely those new to the game. Heworks with them on fielding and hitting,overall teaching them how to play the

game. Blanchard broke his back inApril.

“I played with the A team for quite awhile,” he said. “I couldn’t compete likethe A players compete, so I moved downto the B squad to help them out andunderstand the game more.”

Despite his injury, Blanchard wasexcited about this year’s tournament,which had two Kota Connections teamsplaying for the championship at theirrespective levels.

Representing Kota Connections inthe A-level championship was the KCFireballs, winning the first-place title.At the same time, the organization alsohad its B-level KC Lightening team inthe championship game, but the teamcame up just a little short, thus takingsecond. Kota Connection’s other B team,the KC Thunder, competed and won inthe fifth- and sixth-place game.

Chad Jansen is a member of the A-level KC Fireballs that won the champi-onship, but like Blanchard was unableto play this season due to an injury.Jansen unfortunately broke his hand inhis first practice with a SpecialOlympics team.

He commented on the reason he par-ticipates in the activity.

“I just like the game because it’s fun,and it’s competitive,” he said. Sharinghis competitive nature, Jansen said priorto the game, “I am predicting a win.”

Members of the KC Fireballs took a moment to pose for a celebratory picture after winning the annualsoftball championship. The team, which is overseen by Kota Connections of Lakeville, competes in an Aleague that plays against softball teams from other organizations in the south metro and culminates everyyear with a night of all-star games, exhibition games and of course tournament games.

Contrary to popular belief, a seasonexists between summer and winter

Recently, I’ve been hearinglow grumblings that seem toappear every year in lateAugust. No, it’s not the soundof thousands of Minnesotanstraveling en masse to the statefair, but these grumblings maybe on their breath.

This is the time of yearwhen the words “summer”and “winter” are used in thesame conversation. As in,“Can you believe summer’salmost over?” “It’s going to bewinter in two months.”

Technically, there’s threemore weeks of summer days,but it’s commonly acceptedthat summer ends when theLabor Day weekend is overand schools are once again insession.

Now, before you getdepressed and start unpackingyour parkas and Sorels,

remember there is a season inbetween summer and the sixmonths of Ice Age-like weath-er. What’s the old joke? “Thereare nine months of winter andthree months of construc-tion.” While that might oftenseem true, taking that to heartprevents an enjoyment of agreat season – my favorite sea-son – fall.

Fall means the return offootball season, crisp air andthe start of the school year. It’sall marked by a decrease intans and, thankfully for many,putting the lawn mower away

for quite awhile.I could never pinpoint my

exact enjoyment of fall. I’mnot sure I can now, but I cansay what I enjoy about it.

I’ve been a diehard footballfanatic since the secondReagan administration.Watching games on the week-ends and tossing the pigskinwith friends has always been arite of the fall season for me.

The other point of enjoy-ment is the fall air used to beelectric with the anxiety andanticipation of a new schoolyear.

Having been out of schoolfor more than four years, thatparticular excitement haswaned, but I can parlay mypast experience to coveringschools, students and teachersin my Dakota County coveragearea. I can find out what

excites them, and what they’relooking forward to for the2011-2012 school year.

I joined the Dakota CountySun-Current team in late Mayas the school year was wrap-ping up. I was still new to thejob and my editor was cover-ing schools at the time.

Now that I’ve gained someexperience and knowledge ofthe region, I’m ready to hearyour stories.

Of course, this invitationextends beyond schools. I aminterested in any news orleads you have to offer. It’sbeen a pleasure getting toknow and work with some ofyou in the community the pastthree months. Without yourhelp, the paper wouldn’t bewhat it is.

Now, get outside and enjoythe last days of summer!

Re-think: Recycling while on the goBY ANGIE TIMMONSGUEST COLUMNIST

It’s more popular than everfor Minnesotans to recycle athome, but do you keep it goingwhile you’re traveling or out andabout?

Many of us take road trips,attend family get-togethers, andgo on vacation during the lastfew weeks of summer, and it’simportant to find ways to recyclealong the way. It can be surpris-ing how much waste one personcan produce when traveling, butimplementing a few simplethings to reduce waste and con-serve resources will minimizeyour environmental footprint.

Here are some easy thingsyou can do to make a difference:

If possible, use public trans-portation while traveling, or car-

pool with others who are goingto the same destination.

Use electronic tickets when-ever possible to avoid paperwaste.

If you don’t see recycling binsat your destination, ask the per-son or company in charge.Hopefully, a friendly suggestionwill encourage them to imple-ment a program.

Bring a bag for your ownrecycling. If you’re spending theday traveling or staying some-where you know won’t providerecycling opportunities, pack abag for your recyclable itemsand recycle them when you gethome.

Keep an eye out for recyclingbins along your route. Gas sta-tions, rest areas and parks oftenhave a place you can deposityour recycling rather than haul-

ing it all the way home. As you shop for groceries and

supplies for your trip, look forenvironmentally-friendly pack-aging and pack items in reusablecontainers.

If you’re hosting a get-togeth-er away from home, be sure toput out paper bags or containersfor recycling near the trash binand label them clearly.Hopefully, your guests will fol-low your lead and do the sortingfor you.

Choose or encourage the useof reusable or recyclable materi-als (cups, plates, utensils, etc.) inall your activities.

With a little forethought, it’seasy to make it a habit to recycleon the go and the results areworth it to protect the environ-ment. Think about what you cando to help while enjoying your

summer celebrations, vacationsand travels.

seeking approval of a certificate ofneed and an application for a site androute permit.

Among the concerns voiced by somein attendance included the noise duringconstruction, access to the location,and the entire project’s timeline.

James Zyduck, Black Dog plantdirector, reiterated what the projectaims to do, touching on some benefits tothe community.

“We have several air emissionimprovements as a result of the conver-sion,” he said, adding that the repower-ing project would also eliminate about8,300 rail cars delivering coal each year.

Soon after the presentations, com-munity members had the opportunityto ask the officials questions, as well asvoice concerns.

Burnsville resident DeborahJohnson said she resides about a quar-ter mile away from the plant with herhusband, Marv, and she inquired aboutthe noise during construction.

“It’s in our backyard,” she said,emphasizing how important the issue isto her and her husband.

Zyduck responded to Johnson’s ques-

tion by citing the success of a similarproject conducted on the High Bridgeplant in St. Paul.

“The easiest way to answer thatquestion is to show you what we aredoing,” Zyduck said. “It was very suc-cessful. We worked with the neighbor-hoods.”

Zyduck continued by mentioninglimitations that were set with regard totrucking and construction to mitigatenoise.

More emphatically, Zyduck said.“It’s really hard for me to quantify untilyou can see it and feel it.”

Energy Facility Permitting StatePermitting Manager Scott Ek alsospoke to the issue of noise.

“I’m sure during construction youare going to hear an increase in noise,”he said. “That will end when the con-struction is complete.”

He added that one would not neces-sarily hear all of the construction, ref-erencing the different types of con-struction projects that would not con-tribute greatly to the noise.

“I believe the neighborhoods in thearea are far enough removed,” Ek said.

Regarding the access issue, onewoman in attendance said she read thatthe existing roads were not capable ofhandling the increased traffic loadsduring the construction period.

Zyduck acknowledged that access isalready an issue, whether or not theplant is repowered.

“The 1,400 trucks currently is creat-ing an issue,” he said. “It has nothing todo with the expansion.”

He later added, “Whether we repow-er or not, we have an access issue. Theyare issues for current operations. We’realready engaging with the city ofBurnsville.”

According to a media advisory aboutthe public meeting, a certificate of needapplication was filed by Xcel March 15and was accepted as complete by thecommission May 25. A site and routepermit application was filed May 19 andwas accepted as complete June 24.

“The certificate of need and site androute permit applications will bereviewed jointly as part of the reviewprocess and an environmental assess-ment will be prepared by the office ofEnergy Facility Permitting,” the advi-sory read.

The EFP will continue to accept writ-ten comments regarding the scope ofthe environmental assessment until4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6. They may besubmitted by way of the commission’sEFP website, online athttp://bit.ly/oW3DQA.

Sept. 6 marks the end of the publiccomment period.

Applying firefightingexperience with SanLucas Fire DepartmentBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Unlike most who retire, one Lakevilleresident will not be spending his time ona golf course or at a resort.

Instead, he will be returning to hisimpoverished hometown to serve its com-munity.

Romeo Maldonado spent 27 yearsworking at Flint Hills Resources PineBend Refinery in Rosemount and was avolunteer member of the Pine BendRefinery Fire Department for 12 years.Maldonado’s last day was Aug. 25, and hewill be in his hometown of San LucasToliman, Guatemala, by Sunday, Sept. 25,to serve with the town’s fire department.

“I want to bring something to them,back to my hometown of San Lucas,”Maldonado said. “I have joined the firedepartment in my hometown. I have hadmeetings with them a couple times.”

Maldonado intends to bring his knowl-edge and experience that he acquired dur-ing his 12 years with Pine Bend to the SanLucas department, which has only been

in existence for two years, he said.“I was a lieutenant, and I had a crew of

four or five members with me for anykind of a response that we had,” the 61-year-old said.

According to Maldonado, he and othercrewmembers responded to small prod-uct leaks and small fires. Longtime col-league and fellow member of the refin-ery’s fire department, Deputy Fire ChiefDan Moe, elaborated on Maldonado’smodesty.

“We are dealing with more volatilesubstances,” Moe said. “It is a little moredangerous than a municipal departmenton a daily basis. Granted we don’t have alot of fires, but when we do, they are typi-cally larger scale.”

Moe continued by saying that at an oilrefinery, there is a tendency to get a lot ofhydrocarbon petroleum fires.

In additions to bringing himself tothe fairly new fire department in SanLucas, Maldonado will also be bringingmuch needed equipment and other sup-plies, such as neck braces and firstresponder medical aid equipment, aswell as smaller but needed items asgauze bandages and band-aids.

“These people are going to love it,”Maldonado said. “The equipment I’mplanning to bring to the fire department

is for medical needs.”But the veteran firefighter comment-

ed on the refinery and assistance hehopes to receive for firefighter turnoutgear.

“That was my plea of help to the refin-ery, and they are willing to help me,” hesaid. “They told me they’d help me withsomething to bring to the fire depart-ment of San Lucas.”

According to Moe, who has been fight-ing fires for nearly 30 years and is also amember of his hometown fire depart-ment of River Falls, Wis., the trainingMaldonado and all other fire fightersreceive is quite comprehensive.

“We have a pretty intensive in-housetraining program. One day a week we dofire training in-house,” Moe said.“Annually everybody gets the opportuni-ty to train in Corpus Christi, Texas.”

The training is set up on a three-yearrotation, so every third year refineryfirefighters alternate who attends,according to Moe.

Commenting on work ethic, Moe saidMaldonado’s is among the best.

“He’s not afraid to get in and getdirty,” Moe said. “He is always willing tohelp, and he is always willing to trainnew personnel.”

Though Maldonado is excited aboutreturning to his hometown to serve itscitizens, he is equally excited to see fam-

ily, especially his father.“My whole family is down there:

brothers, sisters, and my father who is 90years old,” he said.

In his nearly 30 years in the U.S.,Maldonado made many friends who heplans to stay in frequent contact with.Actually, he has visited his hometown onseveral occasions with some of hisAmerican friends during his time in thestates.

Overall, the Guatemalan native saidhe is very grateful for his experience formany reasons.

“It’s always been in the newspapers asthe great land of opportunities,” he said.“That’s why I worked there for so manyyears, because of the opportunity to bepart of their successful company.”

At the time Maldonado left his homecountry to come to the United States, SanLucas had approximately 1,500 residents.Today, the population is about 18,000,according to Maldonado.

Given this dramatic increase in thepopulation, it perhaps is a good thingthat Maldonado will be joining his broth-er, Carlos, he returned to San Lucas sixyears ago after retiring from 3M, wherehe worked for more than three decades.

According to Maldonado, both share aconviction to serve their community invarious ways, such as improving itsoverall conditions and increasing jobs.

“They have to have a garden thathas the food and nectar plants formonarchs in all phases of their lifecycle,” the naturalist added.

Waystations are locations that offerresources for monarchs to continue toproduce future generations.

According to both Rhinevault andBrostrom, Fagnat’s help in the projecthas been tremendous, in addition tothe help from her husband, KurtFagnat.

The first garden was begun withflowers to attract monarchs andinsects. The project then grew toinclude four other gardens, each serv-ing a particular purpose. They includea milkweed garden, a native prairiegarden, a lifecycles garden, and afruits and vegetables garden.

The decision to add the gardensafter the first was based on the excite-ment exhibited by the students,according to Rhinevault.

“Our students get to see the entireprocess of the lifecycle,” Rhinevaultsaid. “It is what we need to get kids

excited about science and math.”“I like watching them grow,” sec-

ond-grade volunteer Christine Whearsaid. Exhibiting what she’s learned sofar, she added, “The first thing theyeat is their shell.”

Rhinevault said all Minnesota stateacademic standards are either beingmet or exceeded with regard to thecurriculum used in teaching a varietyof subjects, all stemming from the gar-den project.

She added that the garden hasallowed them to incorporate learningin the areas of math, science, history,art, and reading and writing.

“The gardens have differentiatedour teaching to accommodate all typesof learning styles,” Rhinevault said,adding that the project “encompassesevery single subject.”

She said that support for the projecthas come from such organizations asthe Vista View parent/teacher organi-zation, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, andmembers of the community.

“The gardens have been a tool tobring the community together for oneimportant purpose, and that is ourchildren,” Rhinevault said. “Everyonewho hears about what we are doing isexcited to be part of it.”

Music program for children, parentsexpanding throughout Dakota CountyBY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

A national program that helps youngchildren improve their musical abilities isgaining momentum in Dakota County.

The program – Music Together – existsto help children reach basic music compe-tence, which is defined as the ability tosing in tune, keep a beat and take pleasurein the ability to make music.

The program asserts that all childrenare born musical and can reach a basiclevel of musical proficiency. Children alsolearn by modeling and mimicking theirparents – who play a large role in the class-es.

“We’re born wired to know how to sing,but all that needs a very supportive envi-ronment for that to happen,” said ClaireAuluck-Wilson, director of the Stillwater-based Music in the Valley.

Auluck-Wilson said that in the last 20years, research shows a 30 percent declinein the number of fifth graders who cansing in tune.

“Children get a lot of experience taking

in music, but not a lot in experimenting,not expressing it,” she said.

Children as young as a few weeks old toKindergarteners are eligible for the class-es, which involve both children and par-ents or guardians singing, dancing, andrhythm instrument activities that areappropriate for very young children.

Eight years ago, Auluck-Wilson openedMusic in the Valley in Stillwater andbegan teaching classes that same year.

This past spring, Auluck-Wilsonbrought the program to Apple Valley andhad such positive results that she’sexpanding the program to Lakeville,Rosemount and Farmington this fall.

Eagan also offers Music Togethercourses through its Parks and RecreationDepartment.

Ewa Hylandsson of Apple Valleybrought her two girls to Music in theValley this past spring at the Apple ValleyCommunity Center.

what I was seeing,” said Hylandsson. “Itwas really a music class. Kids were hold-ing notes and doing scales. I thought itwould be a bunch of kids singing ‘ItsyBitsy Spider.’”

Hylandsson said her oldest daughter,Hannah, 3, has always showed high musi-cal aptitude, but thinks the MusicTogether classes have enhanced her abili-ties. Before taking the classes, Hannahwould make up her own words to songsshe already knew.

“I think she’s gotten more creative,”Hylandsson said of Hannah. “Now, she’smaking up more of the melody herself.”

Robin McGuire of Eagan will be a first-year Music in the Valley teacher leadingclasses at the Lakeville Art Center. As partof her training, she observed and helpedlead Stillwater classes this summer.

McGuire is looking forward to thesense of community she hopes to createwith parents and children in her classes.She got an early sense of that connected-ness during her time in Stillwater.

“All of a sudden, you’re dancing, andyou’re moving, and you’re singing,”McGuire said. “The adults are movingaround and they don’t realize that they’remodeling for the kids.”

“The whole thing is experience-basedand we model for our kids so they can feelcomfortable singing, dancing and beingtogether,” said McGuire, who holds an ele-mentary education degree from theUniversity of Minnesota and who spends

considerable time with her church’s choirprogram.

McGuire’s sister, Laurie McFaul ofRosemount, will also be teaching MusicTogether in the Valley classes at DanceConnection in Rosemount. McFaul has adegree in musicology from the Universityof Minnesota with a focus on the violin.She recently began playing the mandolin.

Sarah Hardy, who taught Apple ValleyMusic Together in the Valley classes thispast spring, can testify to the unitybetween parents and teacher. She hastaught Music Together courses for threeyears, the first two in Portland, Ore.

“It’s a neat, neat thing because parentsand kids get to play with each other andplay together with music,” said Hardy,now of Edina. “It’s a real joy for them anda real joy for me.”

There’s no pressure for children to per-form or even participate in the class, saidAuluck-Wilson. She knows children’sattention spans are fleeting. But, she’s con-fident the kids are still absorbing themusic they hear.

“(There are) no expectations,” saidAuluck-Wilson. “Children are free to wan-der or take in the experience. We knowthat children in early childhood are able tosoak in the music even if it looks likethey’re not paying attention at all. What isimportant is what’s going on at home.”

Parents are given two CDs of music per-formed in the class, as well as a songbookto take home.

Hylandsson’s youngest daughter, Kelly,was 16 months old at the time she took theclasses in the spring. She didn’t partici-pate as much as her sister Hannah, but shestill proved to be a quick learner.


Music classesFROM PREVIOUS PAGE

“Kelly was quiet in the class, but wassinging all the songs at home,” said hermother.

Throughout the 10-week program, chil-dren will learn 30 songs of varying musi-cal styles. Children will hear music thatbroadens their sense of rhythm andmelody. Most children’s music is in amajor key and counted the same way, saidAuluck-Wilson.

By listening to music from Korea,China, Spain, as well as American Jazzand Blues, their rhythmic and melodicskills will be advanced for their ages andcan be recalled later in life, Auluck-Wilsonsaid.

Rasmussen College Career Expo provides job opportunities for students More than 150 students,community membersand 32 companiesattend jobs fairBY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Though the nation’s economy is stillreeling, employers are hiring. A recentcareer fair exhibited dozens of localand national companies looking at stu-dents and community members to fillopen job positions.

On Aug. 25, Rasmussen College inEagan held a career fair that featured32 companies and more than 150 activestudents, alumni and members of thecommunity.

The event coincided with 20 otherRasmussen College Career Exposnationwide that day, including TwinCities’ metro locations in Bloomington,Blaine and Brooklyn Park.

Tammy Jackson, campus director atRasmussen College, said large compa-nies are typically invited to attend theexpo because they cater to the degreeprograms the college offers.

The school has degree programs in

the Schools of Business, Nursing,Education, Health Sciences,Technology & Design and JusticeStudies.

“We try to take that mixture focus-ing on what [career] outcomes would bebest for the students,” Jackson said.

Maurice Fortin, HR business repre-sentative with Office Max, said hiscompany targets students and recentgraduates for part-time positions suchas sales assistants and consultants.There are some leadership positionsavailable as well, Fortin said.

The career expo is useful for Fortinbecause it drums up interest for hiscompany and can get the applicationprocess jump-started, he said.

“Getting the word out there and pro-moting the company is what it’s allabout,” Fortin said, estimating hetalked to 25 students and communitymembers an hour into the expo.

Another employer who set up shopat the expo was FrontierCommunications, a rural telecommu-nications company.

Scott Runnels, 42, of Apple Valleystopped at the Frontier booth andtalked with one of its representatives.He’s considering enrolling atRasmussen College and used the career

expo as a measuring stick whether ornot to apply to the school.

Runnels is undecided about a careerpath, but knows he is interested in tak-ing courses.

“I’d probably prefer online courses,”he said.

Down the row, Amy Omlie, HR spe-cialist recruiter at Securitas SecurityServices, spoke with South St. Paul res-ident and Rasmussen College studentLaurie Nelson about a position at thecompany.

Nelson, 42, is taking office manage-ment courses with a medical emphasisat Rasmussen College.

“I’m looking for administrative posi-tions in the medical field or adminis-tration in general,” Nelson said,adding she would consider a positionwith Securitas.

Omlie said the fair proved success-ful in recruiting qualified people forher company.

“I’ve definitely had people today thatI hope will apply and that I would hire,”Omlie said.

Burnsville resident LeeMontgomery, 22, stopped by the OfficeMax booth and spoke with Fortin aboutjob opportunities with the company.

Montgomery, a Hennepin Technical

College student specializing in graphicdesign, is open to any position thatwould allow him to utilize his skills.

Down the road, Montgomery envi-sions becoming his own employer.

“Eventually, I want to own my owncompany,” he said, adding he wouldstart out by doing freelance graphicdesign work.

Jake Speckman, 26, of Apple Valleyis a Rasmussen College student special-izing in information systems manage-ment. Like many other students andcommunity members, he’s open tomost any position once he graduates.Being employed is the important thingfor him, though he does have a careerplan.

“Ultimately, my goal is to workspecifically for the network side ofthings,” Speckman said, adding hewould take any position “as long as itpertains to my career path.”

Jackson said the career expo hasgradually grown over the years and ismore successful than ever. It’s impor-tant that students and members of thecommunity are given quality employ-ment opportunities, she said. Thecareer expo provides that opportunity.

“We’re hearing people are alreadysetting up interviews,” Jackson said.

Fire Muster 2011 introducingblock party, helicopter ridesMemorial service plannedfor 10th anniversary of 9/11 BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Just like the Minnesota State Fair, theBurnsville Fire Muster has signified the endof summer for Burnsville residents since itbegan officially in 1980.

From that perspective, the community-wide event has grown, adding featuresalmost every year, and this year is no differ-ent as the 2011 event will feature a blockparty with live entertainment and helicop-ter rides provided by Minnesota Helicopters.

Fire Muster official Gerry Zielinski saidthe event has “never had a block party beforeand never had one that will be inclusive tofill a parking lot capable of accommodating1,000 people.”

The Fire Muster block party is 5-10 p.m.Wednesday, Sept. 7, and will feature two out-door performances and a third inside.

The Timothy Howe Trio will kick off theevening, striking their first chord at 5 p.m.The musical act Down Lo is scheduled to fol-low at 7:30 p.m., and both will perform on the

outdoor stage. Also starting at 5 p.m. will beMark Mraz, Burnsville’s own piano man. Hewill be performing inside Morgan’s.

According to Zielinski, the block party,sponsored by the Nicollet Inn, will featurefood, a beer garden, and wine inside.

Staying on the music note, Zielinskiadded that this year’s event would featureanother musical performance by Brat PackRadio, described as an a-typical cover bandwith a high-energy, non-stop show that pokesfun at the excesses of the ’80s decade.

The helicopter rides will be 5 p.m.Wednesday, Sept. 7, at the Best WesternPremier Nicollet Inn and will consist ofnearly 10-minute rides performed byMinnesota Helicopters. Rides will also beperformed 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, on top of thehill and west of the main stage. The ridescontinue the next day, beginning at noon atthe same location.

Following the parade Sunday, Sept. 11, thehelicopter rides will continue, again on topof the hill and west of the main stage.

The 9/11 tenth anniversary memorialservice will begin at the end of the parade onthe main stage of Civic Center Park, NicolletAve and Civic Center Drive.

One of the new headcoach’s first acts wasnaming the former headcoach to his staffBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville has a new head footballcoach, new coordinators and a lot of newstarters.

But the Blaze isn’t completely separat-ing itself from its past. About half ofnew head coach Tyler Krebs’ staff was inthe Blaze program last year.

That group includes Mark Riggs, whowas Burnsville’s head coach for fouryears before stepping down last fall.Krebs reached out to Riggs, asking himto stay with the team. Riggs accepted andis now Burnsville’s linebackers coach.

“He loves Burnsville, loves Burnsvillefootball, played here and has coachedhere for a long time,” Krebs said. “Whenhe looked at what we were trying to do,he wanted to be a part of it. He’s a hugefountain of knowledge.”

It also helps that Riggs teaches atBurnsville High. Krebs will be the onlyother football coach in the building atBHS.

Krebs, formerly defensive coordinatorand assistant head coach at Eastview,will be his own defensive coordinator atBurnsville. He hired former Centennialhead coach Mike Watson as offensivecoordinator. Also, Scott Sahli came overfrom Northfield to head up BHS’strength program. Sahli was the 2011National Strength and ConditioningAssociation Coach of the Year.

There are new playbooks, schemesand terminology for the football team.But that might be OK, because many of

the players are new, too.The coaches “got in early enough

that we were able to do a lot of stuff inthe summer,” Krebs said. “That washuge, because it gave us a head start,not only at the high school level, butinstalling our system in the youth pro-gram.”

Almost all of the backs and receiversfrom last year’s offense graduated,

including quarterback Cameron Jones,Burnsville’s all-time leader in passingyardage, and C.J. Smith, who rushed for1,196 yards in 2010.

One constant on offense is ChaseRoullier, a senior beginning his thirdseason as a starting lineman. He hasreceived scholarship offers from severalcolleges, including Toledo andNorthern Iowa.

Who will Roullier and his teammateson the offensive line block for? Thatanswer is a little less clear.

SPORTSFIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

South Suburban Conference athletic events on Tuesday,Sept. 6 – the first day of school – include five boys-girls soc-cer doubleheaders. Matchups include Lakeville North at AppleValley, Eastview at Lakeville South, Eagan at Prior Lake andBurnsville at Rosemount. Games are at 5 and 7 p.m.

part of a large group of running backcandidates.

No underclassman caught a pass forBurnsville last season. Junior ClayHurlbut could emerge as the top pass-ing target this year.

Senior defensive back MichaelCallanan was fourth on the team intackles last year with 45 and also recov-ered three fumbles. Other key defensiveplayers could be junior linebacker EvanVoxland, senior linemen BrianVanderWoude and Matt Deering, juniorlineman Zach Svare, senior defensiveback Mike Becker and junior defensive-back Andrew Herkenhoff. Roullier alsocould see some spot duty on the defen-sive line.

Krebs said it will be hard to tell howthe Blaze matches up athletically untilit starts playing other teams, butBurnsville appears to have decent over-all quickness.

The coach also is pleased with whathe has seen from the senior class.

“I’ve been impressed, and it startswith the seniors,” he said. “Eventhough some of them haven’t played [onvarsity] yet, they have very good tal-ent.”

Burnsville served as host of theannual Watermelon Bowl scrimmageon Aug. 27. Asked earlier last week howmany starting positions were up forgrabs going into the Watermelon Bowl,Krebs said they all were.

“Our goal as coaches is to get thebest 22 guys on the field,” he said. “Wethink we have depth at every position

and competition at every position, butnothing is set.”

Burnsville last had a winning seasonin 2006, and Krebs is aware that the pro-

gram could use a shot of confidence.“The best thing we could do is win a

big game as soon as possible,” he said.The Blaze’s first shot at a victory in

2011 comes at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1,when it plays host to BloomingtonJefferson. Burnsville beat Jefferson 35-20 in the 2010 season opener.
