Toastmasters developsleaders and communicatorsMore than 200Toastmasters clubsmeet weekly throughoutthe metro areaBY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

A club exists where people canenhance their speaking skills, as wellas leadership abilities. These peoplecommit only one hour per week toattend the meetings.

This club is called Toastmasters.There are numerous Toastmasters

clubs around the metro area, withmore than 230 clubs located within a50-mile radius of the 55122 Eagan ZipCode.

Toastmasters International wasfounded in 1924 and has had more than4 million membersjoin its ranks.Currently, thereare 270,000 mem-bers worldwidewho meet weeklyat 13,000 clubs.

Club 3561 isB l u e sCommunicationsPlus, which meets11:30 a.m. to 12:30p.m. eachWednesday at theBlue Cross Blue Shield Anoka Room,3535 Blue Cross Road in Eagan.

The club has 20 members, mostlyBlue Cross employees, but others areinvited to join.

“One fourth to one third of ourmembers are outside of Blue CrossBlue Shield,” said Vice President ofPublic Relations Bill Johnson.

Toastmasters members are assignedroles for each meeting.

The “Toastmaster” serves as thehost or master of ceremonies. The“Grammarian” presents a word for theday that all members are encouragedto use throughout the meeting.

Other members provide a thoughtfor the day, give speeches or providefeedback on each presenter’s speeches.

The “Ah Counter” listens for wordsand phrases used as pause fillers orverbal crutches – words such as “ah,”“um,” and “you know.”

“That feedback helps us to hear ourspeaking ability, even though we mightnot want to hear it,” said VicePresident of Membership DaveJohnson, who acted as the Oct. 26meeting General Evaluator.

The “General Evaluator” providesfeedback to all meeting participants,describing positives as well providingsuggestions for improvement.

Toastmasters Club 3561 PresidentJackie Maher joined the club nearlytwo years ago, and said becoming amember has been invaluable part ofher life.

“It’s been a great experience – life-changing in every way,” Maher said.

Maher said many new members areinstantly hooked and drawn to theclub.

For many, it’s a highlight of theirlives.

“I’ve heard many say that this is thebest part of their whole week,” she

said. “Not onlypracticing theirpublic speakingskills, but alsotheir leadershipskills.”

Becoming aT o a s t m a s t e r smember helpedBill Johnson growsocially and as aleader.

“Coming toToastmasters has

offered me an opportunity to come outof my shell,” Johnson said. “It’s not apure social setting, but it’s a settingwhere people are trying to encourageyou.”

New Toastmaster club members areassigned mentors who help set goalsand benchmarks.

New members must present a time-line or framework for how manyspeeches they will give in any giventime.

When Jackie Maher joined, shechose to give 10 speeches throughoutthe first one and a half years of hermembership.

“It’s really at your pace to help youalong the way, which is really nice,”Maher said.

Toastmasters focuses on two typesof speeches, impromptu and prepared,Bill Johnson said.

People who work in a management

positions give impromptu speechesconstantly, even if they do not realizeit. Toastmasters can help refine thoseskills, he said.

“If you have a job that requires you

‘In order to become aleader, you have to find

your voice andToastmasters is where

leaders are made.’

Last Hope and PETCO partner eachSaturday for pet adoption events andBraveheart Rescue also works closely withPETCO.

The Nov. 5-6 adoption event is the firstof its kind hosted by the Apple ValleyPETCO.

Knauf will consider the event a suc-cess, “if all the cats and dogs get a home,”he said. “It just depends upon two things –how many animals are adopted and ifnothing else, getting the awareness out tothe public that there are a lot more groupsout there than just the humane societies.”

Bev Orr, president of Last Hope Inc.,says the need has never been greater foranimals to be adopted.

“They need ‘forever’ homes,” Orr said.“Right now with the economy the way ithas been, there is a need for us. I’ve beendoing this for 27 years and I’ve never seenanything like it. We don’t have room for allof them. Every time we adopt one out, wecan bring another in.”

Events like the upcoming MegaAdoption are vital for groups like LastHope because it gives them a public pres-ence they don’t normally have.

“We do not have a shelter,” Orr said.“All of our animals are in foster homes.That’s why PETCO is so important. Theyallow us to bring [the animals] directly tothe store.”

Through September, Last Hope hadadopted out 1,311 animals this year, andhave roughly 100 staying at foster homes atone time.

All the animals at the adoption eventhave been vaccinated spayed or neuteredand have gone to a veterinarian for inspec-

tion.Last Hope pets can be adopted starting

at $100 and all Braveheart Rescue dogs canbe adopted for $250 regardless of gender,breed or age, said Braveheart PresidentBrandi Tracy.

Tracy keeps 25-30 dogs at her five-acreproperty. Eventually, her goal is to have 100acres to accommodate more than 100 dogsat a time.

She can give dogs more space and free-dom other shelters cannot afford.

“It’s so much better for them to be in ahome or a place like mine,” Tracy said.“The dogs are outside during the day fourhours in the morning and four to fivehours at night.”

Many of the dogs Tracy takes in havecome from places destroyed or damaged bynatural disasters such as hurricanes andfloods, or from homes that have been fore-closed on and the owners can no longercare for them.

The longer the animals go without per-manent homes, the more love and atten-tion they need, Tracy said.

“So many of these dogs need to berehabbed,” Tracy said. “They need to getfriendly with dogs again. They need to getfriendly with humans again.”

Tracy views the PETCO adoption eventas a way to get out her message regardingthe rescue and adopting out of pets.

“What’s important for the public to tryand understand, people have decided thateuthanization is no longer a viable way totreat animals that have been abandoned orhurt, or owner surrendered,” Tracy said.

Last Hope, Inc. calls itself “a chain oflove for animals,” said Orr. “It’s alwaysbeen our standing saying. They really doneed people who care.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Coggshall wouldbring freshperspective to ISD196 School Board To the editor:

Look around. Our communi-ty is changing. Our challengesare changing. But our schoolboard members haven’tchanged for a number of years.I, for one, would like to see anew face on the board – some-one who has made the effortand taken the time to run forthe opportunity to serve. Iknow experience counts, but I

also know we have to preparefor the future and keep generat-ing new ideas and viewpoints.It’s important we don’t becomecomplacent by just filling in thecircles next to the incumbents’names on the ballot.

Don’t get me wrong. Ourschool board has done a goodjob, but I strongly believe ourchildren’s education is tooimportant to become compla-cent about. That’s why I’m sup-porting Fay Coggshall for ISD196 School Board. She’s hardworking, sincere and trulybelieves in doing the rightthing. I’ll be filling in the circleby her name on Nov. 8.

Vote againstincumbents in ISD196 School BoardelectionTo the editor:

My goodness, what a sur-prise; the teacher’s union issupporting the reelection of allfour incumbents in the ISD 196election on the Nov. 8. The

board has been in the union’spocket for years and will con-tinue to be there if all of theincumbents are voted back in.ISD 196 was one of the very fewdistricts in the state to grant apay increase to teachers lasttime around (only 1 percent,however).

Of course, we all know whoshows up in droves to vote inevery school board election –the teachers. Maybe if more ofus “regular” folks showed up tovote, we could return the boardto the status of employer,rather than the lackey to theunion.

The changing world of gathering newsMaybe it’s my age or perhaps

a generational thing that hascaused me to notice, but theworld of print media seems to bechanging considerably from nottoo long ago. The use of a pen orpencil and a reporter’s notebookis becoming used less to newforms of newsgathering, whichrequires one to remain knowl-edgeable and engaged in thesetechniques.

When I began my career inthe media in the mid-’90s, mostnew technology was not avail-able, thus requiring all of us inthe field to pick up telephones,get in our vehicles, and travel todestinations near and far. Thiswas in broadcast media, but thegathering techniques were onpar with print, mostly.

The Internet had not takenhold, and of course it did not yethave the impact on people in theway it seems to affect us all inmany ways. And even then, myimage of a reporter, from old TVshows and movies, was that of abusy man with messy clothesand perhaps a 5 o’clock shadow,and a “press” ID in his hat whilewearing a trench coat.

In fact, this idea of an “oldschool reporter” is so outdatedthat it is now being offered to allas a Halloween costume. It’s notand certainly has not been a rep-resentation of what a modern-day reporter looks like. Now, welike everyone else from manywalks of life.

If you are a movie or TV fan, Iam sure you’ve seen images of anold newsroom. The reporters, inbetween Lou Grant yelling to fin-ish their stories yesterday, werestill hammering away on oldword processors, or maybe eventypewriters. And with no walls toseparate reporters from oneanother, it was chaos, and loud.

This atmosphere fortunatelydoes not exist here at SunNewspapers, but it still does else-where. The difference, however,is it exists only in the energy thatcomes with reporting the news

on deadline.In our time of nearly instant

notification of events, or justcommunication in general, all ofthe old tools have been pushedaside to make room for morethan just computers but all theseare capable of. Much work isdone by monitoring sites online,and in some cases, the Internet isthe primary source for news tips.

Some reporters no longer takenotes with pad and pen butinstead type notes either duringan interview or after, havingrecorded the entire conversationwith a digital voice recorder. Youstill see reporter’s notebooks, butcertainly an alternative is beingus as well.

The gathering process makesit advantageous to any reporterto know of and how to use newsoftware and online sites daily.Instead of a fax, we have portabledocument files, (PDFs). Thesereplaced the traditionally faxednews releases. We still have a faxmachine here, but it’s not used agreat deal.

Online streaming has made itpossible to view meetings with-out leaving the office. In other

words, a reporter can eitherwatch a meeting remotely as it isoccurring or watch it at anothertime.

With the advent of sites likeFacebook, Twitter, the newOurCommonPlace.com, as wellas websites for local govern-ments and many other key news-related institutions, reporterscan now monitor activity, engagein any discussions, and most ofall we can gather news usingthese new sources simply withan Internet access.

For example, Twitter is beingused by the Minnesota SatePatrol to instantly provide infor-mation related to crash scenes,most notably the crash thatclaimed the life of two construc-tion workers on the Interstate35W MnPASS land. This allowedfor nearly instant, quotable infor-mation from a direct source onthe scene.

Pages like Facebook allow areporter to “like” an event or anindividual to monitor what ishappening with the event orwhay someone said about.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Sometimes this can lead to news if it is notnewsworthy itself. As widely used as it is,though, Facebook does not have what anews site features.

The new Burnsville Common Place, awebsite for local community engagementand for residents to connect and sharewith their neighbors, gives us the ability topost questions about any imaginable com-munity topic and receive input – in theway of sources – on an almost instant

basis. When you are on a deadline, this isideal.

The difficulty as one who did not growup with all of this new technology is theneed to remain on the cutting edge. It doesnot come as naturally to those my age andolder, but I welcome this challenge as mybelief is most people will eventually needfamiliarity with most forms of technologyin the years to come.

Now, with smartphones being so preva-lent in our society, and the ability theyhave as “mini computers,” it’s not astretch to say that the future of news gath-ering and reporting will continue tochange. The trick is, as I’ve said, is to stayon top of this so you don’t get left behind.

and Lake Elmo resident Meghan Odomare co-owners of this franchise loca-tion, with Dehart acting as a managerand Odom acting as trainer.

The two met when Dehart was the fit-ness manager at the North St. PaulFitness Center where Odom had beenworking as a trainer.

“I had always thought about owninga business,” said Odom. “I asked Angieone day, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if weowned our own fitness center?’ I neverthought she would go for it.”

“Surprise!” replied Dehart.Both have fitness-related degrees,

with Dehart graduating from St. CloudState University with a bachelor’s insports medicine and Odom recieved herassociate’s degree in health and fitnessfrom Globe University.

The fitness studio equally balancescardiovascular training, strength train-ing, nutrition and accountability,Dehart said.

“Those are our four principals forsuccess,” said Dehart. “We’re a one-stopshop.”

The studio will feature six pieces ofstrength training equipment, two tread-mills, two elliptical machines, freeweights and an abdominal bench, Odomsaid.

Rosemount was chosen as the loca-tion site because it fit the demographicmodel the franchise looks for whenopening new studios. The studio reach-es out to women ages 35-55. Disposableincome and city population in a givenarea are also factored, Dehart said.

“I know the Rosemount area is reallystarting to develop,” Odom said.

“And, it’s real close to Apple Valley,which is really nice,” Dehart added.

The studio won’t sell membershipsper se, but rather will sell personal fit-ness packages. Women can sign up forthree-month, six-month or yearlongpackages.

Each session consists of 30 minutesof weight training, 25 minutes of car-dio training and nutrition coaching.

One personal trainer will work withone to four women at a time for as littleas $19/session, Odom said.

“They can push each other,” Odomsaid of the women in small groups.“You’re not alone. You’re doing ittogether.”

Dehart hopes the studio will foster asense of togetherness among thewomen who use it.

“We would like to create a small com-munity of women that use each otherfor support, as well as the personaltrainer,” Dehart said.

The nutrition component will fea-

ture a six-day meal plan and a proteinshake per session.

Participants will weigh-in bi-month-ly as part of the accountability compo-nent.

Additionally, Dehart or Odom planon sending weekly e-mails to thewomen encouraging them to keep upwith the program and to share interest-ing fitness or nutrition stories.

“You’re getting so much more foryour money and your time,” Dehartsaid of the studio.

Odom and Dehart traveled to Bostonin November 2010 for a Get in Shape forWomen Discovery Day. There, they metwith other franchise owners and real-ized this company was one they wantedto work for.

“It has everything we both believein,” Odom said of the franchise’s val-

ues.During their time in Boston, Dehart

and Odom were impressed with howother owners described the program asa great way to meet people.

“They said a lot of the women createlifelong friends,” Odom said. “A lot ofthese women became best friends withthe people they work out with.”

Dehart and Odom attended franchiseschool this year in January.

Get in Shape for Women will host itsgrand opening Nov. 12. There will be adrawing for $100 off a first fitness pack-age and women can tour the studio andsign up for a free session, Dehart said.

Dehart is confident the Get in Shapefor Women program will work for thosethat commit to it.

“If you follow the program, we canguarantee results,” Dehart said. “You

can’t succeed without all four parts.”The studio will be open 6 a.m. to

noon and 4-8 p.m. Monday-Friday; 8a.m. to noon Saturdays and closed onSundays.

Odom and Dehart are currently theonly staff at the studio, but may beadding another in a couple months.

“Once our client base is built up, wewill potentially hire another trainer,”Dehart said. “At the most, though, wewould only have three on staff.”

Dehart has spent years in the fitnessbusiness, but becoming a franchiseowner of a studio is as good as it gets.

“When it’s your own business, it’srewarding,” she said.

For more information, call the Get inShape for Women manager at 651-600-5949 or visit getinshapeforwomen.com.

“Imagine Your Future”

Choosing a major is often metwith trepidation. College studentsmay feel pressured to choose amajor when they are less than cer-tain about what they want to study.Majors aren’t set in stone and stu-dents have the opportunity to switchconcentrations if their originalchoice isn’t the right fit.

Perhaps now more than ever,there is pressure on students to pickthe right college major. In this weakeconomy, experts are touting advice

on choosing a major that gives stu-dents the best chance of finding a jobafter graduation. The NationalCenter for Education Statistics saysthat in 2007-2008, the most popularmajors were business, social sci-ences, history, and education.According to Capital University, stu-dents usually have so many intereststhat they have difficulty narrowingtheir choices. Their first inclinationis not to declare a major and wait tosee if they find their niche.

In general, two out of every threeuniversity students change majorsat least once. This should give hopeto students who feel they need achance. Here are some tips thatshould help with the process.

* Wait to declare. Many educatorsadvise waiting a semester or twobefore declaring a major. Take a vari-ety of elective courses and general

education classes that will fit degreerequirements regardless of major.

* Take an assessment test. Thecareer or guidance office may offersome of the standardized tools tohelp students find an area of con-centration.

* Do your research. If you’re con-sidering a new major, talk to youradvisor about what will be requiredof that new major, including classesand other coursework. You can alsotalk to students currently studyingunder that major. Knowing what toexpect beforehand can make thedecision-making process a little eas-ier.

* Talk to the dean. Many collegesand universities have deans or advi-sors in charge of students in certainmajors. They will know the coursesrequired for a degree. Switchingmajors may involve taking or re-tak-

ing some courses that will fit withthe new major. It may also mean thatsome courses that were taken can-not be applied to the new major. Thiscan result in having to take moreclasses one semester or taking anextra semester to graduate.

* Consider finances. Taking dif-ferent classes or stretching out yourcollege career an additional semes-ter might cost more money. Be surethat the finances are there, whetherpersonally provided or fundedthrough financial aid.

* Assess whether your majortruly matters. Many liberal arts orgeneral studies majors are applica-ble in many fields. Therefore,switching majors may not even benecessary. Think about continuingwith a current major and then con-centrate or minor in somethingmore specific.

Apple Valley-based CitiLinkCommunicationsbought outNextera Communicationsnow has largest fixedwireless service in stateBY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley-based CitiLinkCommunications was purchased byNextera Communications earlier thismonth.

Nextera is a wireless telecommunica-tions provider specializing in providingbusinesses with Internet and telephoneservice.

Nextera offers local telephone serv-ice, long distance,service, T-1, DSL,voice over Internetand wirelessInternet to busi-nesses throughoutthe state.

With the acquisi-tion of CitiLink,Nextera now hasthe largest fixedwireless service inthe state, saidNextera Marketing Manager AmandaMacDonald.

“It was a good fit for us,” saidMacDonald.

Nextera Communications – based outof Brainerd with offices in Minnetonka,St. Cloud and Duluth – uses towersinstead of underground cables for itsfixed wireless networks.

The company has towers throughoutthe metro area.

“We have towers from Monticello toHam Lake, to the Lakeville area, inMaple Plain Hanover, Minneapolis,Edina, Bloomington, St. Paul, Oakdale,Burnsville and Apple Valley,” saidMacDonald. “Where the tower is locat-ed, the probability is pretty good thatyou could have our service there.”

Nextera’s long-range plans includeexpansion of its data wireless networkto include more towers that provide thecombination of voice and data service,said MacDonald.

The CitiLink acquisition will providethese services to the underserved com-munities within the southern metroarea.

MacDonald said the decision to pur-chase CitiLink was made in late 2010.

“We were looking at expand down inthe southern metro suburbs,” saidNextera President Greg Arvig. “Itbecame kind of a natural fit. It gives usa metro-wide footprint.”

Nextera’s wireless service is not cel-lular, which is a common misconcep-

tion, saidMacDonald.

Nextera marketsitself to small andmid-sized business-es throughout thestate, MacDonaldsaid.

“Banks andhealthcare servicesare two types ofmarkets that we’reseeing a trend with

those businesses using our services,”she said.

MacDonald said the company offersprimary service, as well as a backupservice to its business clients.

“For backup, there’s a separate con-nection or path,” MacDonald said. “Ifsomething happens to the primary con-nection, we can route all their traffic totheir wireless backup so they can keeptheir business running at all times.”

One advantage Nextera now has dueto the CitiLink acquisition is a greaterbandwidth for its Wimax service, a com-bination of voice and data service.

“It’s the next generation wirelessservice, which has higher capacity,”Arvig said. “It’s a higher quality servicethan previous technologies.”

southern metrosuburbs. It becamekind of a natural fit.’

A Tidbit of HistoryIn about 1074 A.D., eight years after defeating Harold IIat the Battle of Hastings, King William I of England(William the Conqueror) issued a silver penny, aboutthe size of a dime, bearing his portrait with a star oneither side. In due time, English pennies became known

as “stoerlings” from which the modern English currencyof Sterling and the tem for fine silver is derived. Some

have suggested that the use of stars on the coinage of thisperiod might have represented celestial activity

such as the appearance of Haley’s Comet inMarch of 1066 A.D., the year of the Conquest.

Pain - a direct message from the bodyBY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Think of pain as the body’s early-warning system.

A sprained ankle, toothache or touch-ing a hot stove causes acute or tempo-rary pain. It’s a warning to get awayfrom the pain source and protect thedamaged body part.

Most pain disappears after the injuryhas healed, but sometimes pain persistsafter the normal healing process ends.In some cases, medical exams or testscan’t identify the source of pain.

Chronic pain, generally described aslasting more than three months, can dis-rupt every part of a person’s life. It canaffect physical and mental health, abili-ty to work, sleep and concentrate andperform everyday tasks.

Twenty-six percent of Americanadults report that they have had painthat lasted more than a day, according tothe 2006 study by the National Centersfor Health Statistics. Almost 60 percentof adults ages 65 years and older report-ed experiencing pain lasting for oneyear or more.

Pain can be a symptom of underlyingmedical problems like diabetes, arthri-tis and cancer.

But a growing number of physiciansrecognize chronic pain as a diseaseprocess in and of itself, according to theAmerican Pain Foundation.

Recent research suggests that per-sistent pain can create structural andchemical changes in the brain that keeppain signals active and can delay heal-ing. Early and aggressive treatmentmay be the best way to limit the physicalharm, which may damage nerves, bloodvessels and organs and suppress theimmune system, leaving the body vul-nerable to infection.

“Evidence continues to emerge—from the research lab to clinical prac-tice—that the severity and persistenceof pain can be modified through earlyintervention,” said foundation CEO WillRowe.

Many patients come to the MAPSMedical Pain Clinics two years after theonset of their pain symptoms, said Dr.David Schultz, the clinic’s medicaldirector. MAPS has 10 clinic locations,

including Shakopee and Woodbury. About half of patients have back or

neck pain and most are referred by fam-ily doctors or other medical specialists,Schultz said.

In most cases, painkillers and physi-cal therapy prescribed by physicianshave provided little relief, he said. As aresult, many are suffering from depres-sion and anxiety that may affect work,family and personal relationships.

More than half of clinic patients arealready taking daily doses of powerfulpainkillers, including morphine,Vicodin or OxyContin, Schultz said.

“They may work, but they have adark side to them too,” he said of theopioids. “They’re powerful analgesics,but they don’t really do anything to treatthe underlying pain problem. They sim-ply change your perspective on it.” Thedrugs can also be addictive.

Most patients benefit from the MAPSclinics’ multidisciplinary treatmentapproach, which treats physical andpsychological symptoms, Schultz said.

Therapies include trigger-point injec-tions of local anesthetic or steroid med-

ications into tender or painful areas ofmuscle or tissues or nerve blocks, injec-tions of nerve-numbing medication.Other options are implantable neu-rostimulators to block pain signals orspinal drug pumps to deliver pain-relieving medication.

Physical therapy can help providelong-term pain relief, improving apatient’s ability to perform everydayactivities and prevent re-injury.Behavioral health programs can helppatients unravel the psychological andemotional sources of their pain andlearn coping and management skills.

The goal is pain reduction andimproved function for the patient,Schultz said.

“Sometimes we can get rid of thepain and it doesn’t come back, but that’susually not the case,” he said. “Moreoften, we’re dealing with a chronic con-dition that’s manageable but not cur-able.”

Pain ManagementIn today’s age of growing concern over taking med-

ication or relying on surgery for the relief of paincomes the drug-free natural path of pain manage-ment: Chiropractic.

During the 7+ years of education D.C.’s havelearned to utilize manipulation of the spine to allowthe body to heal itself. By adjusting the spine we alle-viate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that exitit to reduce and eliminate dysfunction of glands,organ systems, and soft tissues that medication maynot have been able to.

Firstly, every D.C. has their method of manipulationand their theory on its effect on the body. The key isbalance. The muscles of the spine and skeleton mustbe in sync with one another to allow our body’s nor-mal natural movement through the use of heat andelectro stimulation. If appropriate, once the muscleshave been “reset” then trigger point therapy is usedto reduce the last of the noxious metabolic waste andspasm thus setting the joint up for a longer lastingand thorough manipulation.

Secondly, at this time a decision to use adjunctivetherapy is determined. This includes ice, Ultrasound,Cold Laser, highly advanced stretching and musclestripping techniques, and flexion-distraction. Nutritionis paramount. Foods that irritate or slow repair and

recovery should be eliminated at this time. Ex-amples would be red meat, eggs, dairy, caf-feinated beverages, and anything that containsmsg and gluten. The body is working hardenough, we need not contribute to its load byhaving it break these types of inflammatorycausing foods or ingredients down. Wisechoices include fruits and vegetables (preferablyorganic), herbs, seasonings and low fat seedsand nuts. Some have shown great results usingBromelain, Feverfew, Fennel, Valerian Root, andPassion Flower. To find the right combination, youshould however consult with your doctor for yourpersonalized condition.

Lastly, careful attention must be paid to diagnosethe phase of injury and healing to optimize recoveryand ultimate rehabilitation back to pre-injury status.There are very specific protocols that should be fol-lowed to allow this to happen. If a particular joint seg-ment is left restricted from normal movement, makingthe joint stiff or hypomobile, this will likely decreaserecovery potential, increase the rate of dehydrationand degeneration, and may lead to possible perma-nent injury or disability. So, the need for proper as-sessment and treatment not only address today’spain, but future pain as well.

Dispelling Chiropractic Myths: Dr. George Franz (the back whisperer) will try to

shed some light on this subject.

A healthy diet is key toa healthy heart

A healthy diet and lifestyle are yourbest weapons to fight cardiovascular dis-ease. It’s not as hard as you may think!Remember, it’s the overall pattern ofyour choices that counts. Make the sim-ple steps below part of your life for long-term benefits to your health and yourheart.

Use up at least as many caloriesas you take in.

Start by knowing how many caloriesyou should be eating and drinking tomaintain your weight. Don’t eat morecalories than you know you can burn upevery day. Increase the amount andintensity of your physical activity tomatch the number of calories you takein.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of mod-erate physical activity on most days ofthe week or — best of all — at least 30minutes every day. Regular physicalactivity can help you maintain yourweight, keep off weight that you loseand help you reach physical and cardio-vascular fitness. If you can’t do at least30 minutes at one time, you can add up10-minute sessions throughout the day.

Eat a variety of nutritious foodsfrom all the food groups.

You may be eating plenty of food, butyour body may not be getting the nutri-ents it needs to be healthy. Nutrient-richfoods have vitamins, minerals, fiber andother nutrients but are lower in calories.To get the nutrients you need, choosefoods like vegetables, fruits, whole-grainproducts and fat-free or low-fat dairyproducts most often.

• Vegetables and fruits are high invitamins, minerals and fiber — andthey’re low in calories. Eating a varietyof fruits and vegetables may help youcontrol your weight and your blood pres-sure.

• Unrefined whole-grain foods con-tain fiber that can help lower your bloodcholesterol and help you feel full, whichmay help you manage your weight.

• Eat fish at least twice a week.Recent research shows that eating oilyfish containing omega-3 fatty acids (forexample, salmon, trout, and herring)

may help lower your risk of death fromcoronary artery disease.

Eat less of the nutrient-poor foods. The right number of calories to eat

each day is based on your age and physi-cal activity level and whether you’re try-ing to gain, lose or maintain yourweight. You could use your daily allot-ment of calories on a few high-caloriefoods and beverages, but you probablywouldn’t get the nutrients your bodyneeds to be healthy. Limit foods and bev-erages high in calories but low in nutri-ents, and limit how much saturated fat,trans fat, cholesterol and sodium. Readlabels carefully — the Nutrition Factspanel will tell you how much of thosenutrients each food or beverage con-tains.

As you make daily food choices,base your eating pattern on theserecommendations:

• Choose lean meats and poultrywithout skin and prepare them withoutadded saturated and trans fat.

• Select fat-free, 1 percent fat, andlow-fat dairy products.

• Cut back on foods containing par-tially hydrogenated vegetable oils toreduce trans fat in your diet.

• Cut back on foods high in dietarycholesterol. Aim to eat less than 300 mil-ligrams of cholesterol each day.

• Cut back on beverages and foodswith added sugars.

• Choose and prepare foods with lit-tle or no salt. Aim to eat less than 1,500milligrams of sodium per day.

• If you drink alcohol, drink in mod-eration. That means one drink per day ifyou’re a woman and two drinks per dayif you’re a man.

• Follow the American HeartAssociation recommendations whenyou eat out, and keep an eye on your por-tion sizes.

Also, don’t smoke tobacco — andstay away from tobacco smoke.

Eagan realtor going above and beyondSpecializes in helpingclients deal with hostof issues unrelated tojob descriptionBY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS

After experiencing the death of herparents and the ensuing burden ofpreparing their home for sale, oneEagan realtor has expanded her dutiesto assist others going through similarsituations.

Anne Saatela, a realtor with KellerWilliams Integrity Realty in Eagan,knows all too well the burden associat-ed with the loss of two parents, and thesubsequent preparation and sale oftheir home, but what she was notexpecting at the time was how herexperience would transform herfuture.

In 2000, Saatela was working a cor-porate job in information technology,enjoying it all. But when her fatherpassed away at the age of 70 and hermother also passed away 11 monthslater at the same age, Saatela becameoverwhelmed.

“It was not a fun time at all,” shesaid, adding that she was their infor-mal caregiver as well as for her sister,who underwent heart transplant sur-gery around the same time.

“All that was left was me and mybrother,” she said. “My brother is 10years older, and he lives on the EastCoast.”

Trying to juggle her job and what todo with her parents’ house, which wasin Eau Claire, Wis., took a lot of timeand had its own cost, according toSaatela.

“Through thiswhole thing, Icouldn’t grieve,”she said. “I couldn’thelp my kidsthrough the griev-ing process becausewe had to deal withthis, and I was theonly one who wasphysically there.”

For Saatela, theexperience wasdraining and to hersimply did not seemfair.

“I just thought,when all was saidand done, ‘This isnot fair,’” she said. “You’re a caregiverfor your family and for your parents.You go through this loss and then youare stuck with this house.”

It was at this time Saatela had a rev-elation with regard to how such situa-tions should be handled.

“What should happen is you shouldjust get your sentimental stuff that youwant out of the house and then turn to

somebody and say, ‘It’s your deal. Yougo for it. Now you can take care of it.I’m done,’” she said. “At the end of 2005,I decided to just totally turn my lifeupside down. I went out at got my realestate license.”

The marked the beginning of a newjourney in Saatela’s life, one shedescribed as a “calling” and as a “min-

istry.” Saatelaspent the next fewyears building abase of contacts,people who shetrusts and workswith to this day.

“I spent allthese years goingaround talking tosocial workers, tolawyers, to allkinds of people …about what I do,”she said. “I haveover 750 people inmy database. Ihave a lot of peo-ple who do a lot of

things for seniors.”Saatela arranges estate sales, after

individuals remove all sentimentalitems, and she arranges for any workneeded on a home, such as removingwallpaper, painting, replacing a roof,and coordinating truth in housinginspections.

Of course, the work is not free, butbecause of Saatela’s careful selection

of contacts, those in her database arevery reasonably priced, Saatela said.

“I do not mark it up,” she said. “I donot charge for any of the coordinationservices. That’s why I can tell you noother realtor does this because they allthink I’m crazy.”

Edina resident Joan Shasky is one ofSaatela’s past clients who lost both par-ents within a week of each other.Shasky got Saatela’s name from anattorney involved in her parents’estate. She then turned to Saatela forhelp.

“That’s where [Saatela] steps in andsays, ‘This will not be a problem,’”Shasky said, adding that Saatela pro-vided her with a long list of contacts tocall for help her with an estate sale andmore.

“I had a trip planned and had to beout of town for the weekend,” Shaskysaid of the estate sale. “I came backhome, drove from the airport andwalked into my parents’ house. All wasgone. It was immaculate, and I didn’thave to do anything.”

Of all who Shasky contracted withfor work on her parents’ house, shesaid, “They were reasonably priced.”

Shasky added that Saatela is veryparticular about whom she does busi-ness with and that they were ethicaland moral people.

“It was wonderful,” she said of herexperience with Saatela. “I would high-ly recommend her to anyone in that sit-uation. She just fills in.”

‘I do not mark it up. Ido not charge for any of

the coordinationservices. That’s why Ican tell you no other

realtor does thisbecause they all think

I’m crazy. ’

Gweh sparks Eastview’s runto state semifinalsJunior forward scorestwice in first-round victoryat Class AA tourneyBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Dynamic, creative, explosive – all ofthose describe Eastview boys soccerplayer Mathew Gweh.

He’d like it if “team-oriented” couldbe included somewhere in there, too.

Despite being a marked man sinceearly in the 2011 season, Gweh leads theNo. 1-ranked Lightning with 25 goals in20 games. He scored twice Oct. 27 asEastview (19-0-1) defeated RochesterMayo 2-1 in the state Class AA quarter-finals in Cottage Grove.

Eastview’s motto is “We are 11,” andafter the Mayo game, Gweh tried todeflect attention from himself and ontohis team.

“I didn’t do it by myself,” he said.“We try to play as a team, try to play foreach other, and I think we’re doingthat.”

Gweh scored 8 minutes, 6 secondsinto the game off a feed from PierceErickson and struck again about 20minutes later with Jake Opheim assist-ing.

Mayo scored with 8:26 remaining. Inthe final two minutes Eastview strug-gled to clear the ball from in front of itsgoal following a Mayo corner kick.

“When I saw one of those kicks go, Ithought, ‘Wow, they’re going to tie thegame,’” Gweh said.

But the Lightning survived andmoved on to the Metrodome for thefirst time.

Eastview played MinneapolisSouthwest, last year’s Class AA run-ner-up, in a semifinal game Nov. 1. Thewinner plays Eden Prairie or MapleGrove in the championship game at 3p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, also at theMetrodome.

Eastview,Eaganoffenses rollin footballplayoffsLightning wins on theroad at RosemountBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

When Eastview lost to Rosemount sev-eral weeks ago, coach Kelly Sherwindescribed his team as its own worstenemy, committing turnovers fromwhich the Lightning couldn’t recover.

Eastview got another chance to playthe Irish in the Class 5A, Section 3 play-offs, and the result was vastly different.The Lightning played a nearly error-freegame, winning 49-13 on Oct. 29 and earn-ing a spot in the section championshipgame.

Eastview (5-5) will play at Prior Lake(7-3) in the section final at 7 p.m. Friday,Nov. 4. The winner faces the Section 2champion (Mounds View or Totino-Grace) in the state Class 5A quarterfinalsNov. 11 at the Metrodome.

Running backs Eric Krupke andLeAndre Kennedy scored three touch-downs each for Eastview. QuarterbackRyan Reger completed all seven passes heattempted for 136 yards, and HenryMcIsaac completed one pass for 45 yards.

Two touchdown runs by Kennedy (5and 12 yards) and one from Krupke (6yards) put Eastview up 21-0 in the secondquarter.

Krupke ran for two more scores in thethird quarter as the Lightning’s leadgrew to 35-7. Kennedy added a touchdownrun in the fourth quarter.

The one touchdown neither Krupkenor Kennedy scored was a 47-yard passfrom Reger to Adam Moorse.

Gustafson. Rosemount’s other touchdowncame in the third quarter on a 30-yard passfrom Nate Lemoine to Salih Mohamed.

Moorse caught four passes for 112 yardsand a touchdown.

Sean Kalinowski had five catches for 76yards for Rosemount. Quarterback NateLemoine led the Irish in rushing with 52yards.

Eastview defeated Burnsville 14-7 in afirst-round section game Oct. 25.

Trailing 7-6 in the fourth quarter, theLightning got in position to score with a40-yard pass from Ryan Reger to EricKrupke. Moments later, Krupke gaveEastview the lead on a 3-yard run. Regeralso threw to Kenyon Phillips for a two-point conversion.

Burnsville proved to be a tough oppo-nent under first-year head coach TylerKrebs, formerly an Eastview assistantcoach. The Blaze defeated the Lightning

36-29 during the regular season“With Tyler over there, he knows the

strengths and weaknesses of our players,and he has a good idea of what we’re goingto do,” Sherwin said.

Reger threw a 5-yard touchdown pass toAaron Wesser in the second quarter. Thatcut Burnsville’s lead to 7-6, but theLightning missed the conversion.

Eagan 63, Woodbury 29Eagan’s 6-4 record might not be scary,

but opponents probably aren’t happy tosee the Wildcats’ offense take the field.

Eagan scored 113 points in two Class5A, Section 4 playoff games to reach thechampionship game, where the Wildcatswill play undefeated (9-0) and No. 2-rankedCretin-Derham Hall at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov.4, at the University of St. Thomas.

Wildcats quarterback Drew Bauer dev-astated Woodbury defense in the Oct. 29section semifinals, accounting for 373yards in total offense. He rushed 16 timesfor 214 yards and three touchdowns, thelongest score covering 59 yards. Bauer alsocompleted 13 of 18 passes for 159 yards and

two scores.Senior running back Michael Busch

rushed for 121 yards. He had touchdownruns of 20 and 49 yards and also caught a25-yard touchdown pass.

Bauer threw a 34-yard touchdown passto Eric Woodcock. Nelson Marshall ran fora 3-yard score and Mitch Knutsonreturned an interception 38 yards for adefensive touchdown.

Eagan, which has won four in a rowand six of its last seven games, crushedMinneapolis South 50-0 in the sectionquarterfinals Oct. 25.

While the Eagan defense heldMinneapolis South to 89 yards, theWildcats’ offense rolled through theTigers. Busch rushed for 76 yards andscored four touchdowns. Marshall rushed14 times for 100 yards and one score.

Eastview 14, Burnsville 7Eastview held Burnsville to 62 yards of

total offense in their Class 5A, Section 3semifinal, but it wasn’t until late in thefourth quarter before the Lightning final-ly grabbed the lead in a Class 5A, Section 3

quarterfinal game Oct. 25.Burnsville beat Eastview 36-29 in a reg-

ular-season game Oct. 7, but Blaze quarter-back Dan Motl was injured in that gameand missed the rest of the season. TheBurnsville offense wasn’t the same with-out him.

Burnsville scored on its first posses-sion in the playoff game, with JamondBailey completing the drive on a 4-yardrun.

The Blaze finished 2-7 in its first seasonunder first-year head coach Tyler Krebs.

Irish split two 4-3 matches, take 4th in state tennisBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

One thing Rosemount can say about itstrip to the state girls tennis tournament:The Irish made things interesting.

Two of Rosemount’s three matches atthe Class AA team competition – its first-round victory Oct. 25 over Brainerd andits Oct. 26 loss to Elk River for third place– were decided by 4-3 scores.

The Irish’s run at state also included a6-1 loss to eventual runner-up RochesterMayo. Edina won its 15th consecutiveClass AA title with a 5-2 victory over Mayoin the final at the University ofMinnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center.

Rosemount, making its second appear-ance at state in three years, finished 21-5.

Rosemount coach Dana Beck usedwhat she describes as her “singles-strong”lineup in the quarterfinals againstBrainerd. It paid off as the Irish won threeof the four singles matches in straightsets. Virginia Norder (No. 1 singles),Alison Baker (No. 2) and KirstenHoffmann (No. 4) were the winners.

Rachel Hoffmann and Rachel Olsonwon in straight sets at third doubles forthe Irish’s fourth point. All three ofBrainerd’s victories also were in straightsets.

Kirsten Hoffmann earned Rosemount’spoint against Mayo, winning her fourthsingles match 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).

The only match against Mayo that wentto three sets was Norder’s 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 10-5loss to Kylie Boyer at first singles. With

the team competition already decided, thethird set of the Norder-Boyer match wasshortened to a first-to-10-points tiebreaker.

Rosemount’s Layna Mestad and AbbyKohagen prevailed 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in a three-set match at No. 1 doubles against ElkRiver. Baker and Kirsten Hoffmann wonsingles matches in straight sets.

Three of Elk River’s four points in thethird-place match came in three sets.

“My brother was in the all-star game[at the Metrodome] a few years ago, andI’ve wanted to play there ever since,”Gweh said.

Gweh transferred to Eastview fromSt. Paul Como Park after his ninth-grade season. He could not play for theLightning varsity last year because ofMinnesota State High School Leaguetransfer rules.

Eastview is “a really good school,and I wanted to go to a good school,” hesaid.

He practiced with the Lightning lastseason and made an immediate impactonce he was eligible to play. Gwehscored at least one goal in 16 ofEastview’s first 20 matches and is theleading goal-scorer among Class AAplayers. Additionally, he is second onhis team with eight assists.

“He’s incredibly fast,” Eastviewcoach Scott Gustafson said, “and thosewere two really, really good goals”against Mayo.

Gweh and teammates MikeBonderud (defender) and Sam Ruelas(goalkeeper) were named to the ClassAA All-State team. All three are jun-

iors.All three also hear the clock ticking

if they intend to win a state high schoolchampionship. Eastview has six sen-iors, while four underclassmen – Gweh,Bonderud, Ruelas and sophomore goal-keeper Treston Kederer – are expectedto forego their remaining high schooleligibility to train full-time with theMinnesota Thunder Academy.

Gweh said he and his teammateshoped to make some lasting memoriesthis week because “it’s fun to representyour school.”

EV girls tripped inshootout

Eastview’s girls team also wanted tomake it to the Metrodome, but theLightning couldn’t find the back of theCentennial net during a Class AA quar-terfinal game Oct. 28.

Eastview had the edge in possessiontime and had more quality scoringchances, but the game remained score-less for 100 minutes. That sent it to ashootout, where Centennial convertedthree of its penalty kicks to theLightning’s two for a 1-0 victory.

Soccer team edgesWoodbury in statequarterfinalsBY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville has had to readjust itsgoals as the girls soccer season spedtoward a conclusion.

The Blaze is a relatively young team,but coach John Soderholm kept tellingthe players they had the potential toreach the state tournament.

After Burnsville did that, the playersstarted thinking it would be nice to goto the Metrodome, which they could doif they won their state quarterfinalgame.

Now that they earned their trip tothe dome … do they dare dream aboutthe state championship?

“The first goal was to win the sec-tion, but that seemed like a dream,”Blaze goalkeeper Meghann Rudolphsaid. “This is a great feeling, and wewant to take it as far as we can.”

Unseeded Burnsville (16-4) defeatedNo. 2-seeded Woodbury 1-0 in a ClassAA quarterfinal game Oct. 29 on AbbySoderholm’s goal in the 49th minute ona free kick. Burnsville, which last wentto state 15 years ago, played Centennialin a semifinal match Oct. 31 at theMetrodome, with the winner facingLakeville North or Wayzata in thechampionship game at 5:30 p.m.Thursday, Nov. 3.

“A lot of our girls are juniors andsophomores, but I made it clear to themI expected them to win the section,”John Soderholm said. “We were goodenough. And then [against Woodbury],we played well against a very goodteam.”

Burnsville had to survive severalWoodbury scoring threats in the firsthalf of the state quarterfinal game inCottage Grove. Early in the second half,Abby Soderholm, the coach’s niece,lined up a free kick from about 30 yardsaway.

She struck it perfectly. The ball bare-ly cleared the outstretched hand ofWoodbury goalie Casey White andsnuck just below the crossbar.

“I was just trying to get it to the frontof the goal,” said Abby Soderholm, whohit the crossbar on a free kick fromalmost the identical spot later in the

second half.Rudolph sported a shiner after being

knocked in the head while sortingthrough heavy traffic in front of theBlaze goal.

“One of their shots was prettyscary,” Rudolph said. “One of theirplayers took a shot toward the far post.I chased it, and fortunately it went justwide.”

After Woodbury had success goingwide against the Burnsville defense inthe first half, John Soderholm said theBlaze tried to confine play to one side ofthe field as much as possible.

The result, said Abby Soderholm,was “we closed up their passing lanesand blocked more shots.”

The Burnsville-Centennial statesemifinal game was a rematch of theteams’ regular-season opener Aug. 25,which Centennial won 5-3. Centennial,17-1-2 going into the Oct. 31 game,defeated Eastview 1-0 in a shootout inits Class AA quarterfinal Oct. 28.
