Tower plan topples

Freedom Days

Wildwood Park proposal withdrawn

takes to the streets

by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The battle is over in Wildwood Park. Neighbors who opposed construction of a 125-foot wireless Internet tower in the Apple Valley park learned last week that the company had withdrawn its application. “We were delighted and humbled and blown away by the surprise,� said Wildwood Park Alliance leader John Hessburg. “This was an unexpected happy ending.� More than 500 neighbors signed a petition opposing the proposal by Clearwire Wireless, which is seeking to launch a wireless Internet service in the Twin Cities. The Wildwood Park Alliance opposed the tower on grounds it would be an eyesore, hurt property values and possibly have harmful health effects. Alliance members packed the council chambers during Planning Commission meetings in recent months to voice opposition to the Wildwood Park plan. “We weren’t going to stand for the desecration of the most beautiful park in Apple Valley,� Hessburg said. Though the Wildwood Park tower is off the table, Clearwire still plans to move ahead with its wireless network in Apple Valley. Initially, the telecommunications company had 11 sites planned in Apple Valley as part of its network. Nine of those sites have already received city approval, including construction of towers in Hayes Park and in the parking lot of Christ Church. Only one site (other

Apple Valley man accused of threatening wife with gun An Apple Valley man has been charged with a felony after an argument with his wife in which he allegedly pointed a gun at her chest. Michael Leon Geis, 45, was charged July 2 with one count of terroristic threats. A criminal complaint filed in Dakota County District Court gives the following account: Apple Valley police officers were dispatched to the home just before 7 p.m. July 1 on a report of a man having pointed a gun at his wife. Officers met with the wife, who reported that Geis had been consuming alcohol and they had been arguing. She further reported that Geis had pointed one of his long guns at her, told her to leave the house and began counting backward. She ran from the house, believing he may kill her.

APPLE VALLEY than Wildwood Park) has yet to receive city approval – Galaxie Park, where construction of a tower using a hockey-rink light pole is proposed. The Planning Commission in June recommended that the City Council deny Clearwire’s permit applications for both Wildwood and Galaxie parks. In voting against the Wildwood Park plan, the commission cited compatibility issues with the surrounding area, noting that at 125 feet the tower would be almost twice the height of the park’s tree canopy. The commission voted against the Galaxie Park plan because the application did not meet ordinance requirements regarding the tower’s “fall zone.� The commission will hold a public hearing July 14 on whether to change the ordinance. City officials have indicated that Clearwire will now begin looking for another site to provide wireless Internet coverage to parts of the city that would have been served by the Wildwood Park tower. But for members of the Wildwood Park Alliance, the battle has been won. Hessburg said he wanted to thank the four Planning Commission members who voted against the permit application and the City Council members who listened to the neighbors’ pleas. “This is proof that democracy works in Apple Valley,� Hessburg said.

Donation thanks the community by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount, the community that said “keep the changeâ€? to a struggling local business in 2009, has received a nice thank-you gift. Last year, the Rosemount Taco John’s Restaurant made national news after employees donated hours and customers left their change to help restaurant owner and single mom Cindy Pasbrig pay the struggling store’s bills. “Business went up. ‌ We had people coming up anonymously, people were sending us letters and gift cards ‌ everything just to help us out. It was amazing,â€? Taco John’s Restaurant General Manager Todd Harapat said. All that generosity not only got the store through a very difficult time, but has helped the franchise recently break sales records. At a City Council meeting July 6, Harapat proudly presented Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste with a $2,000 check to fund about 440 new books for the new citywide “One Read, One Rosemountâ€? event. Copies of the book citizens are invited to read, “A Long Way From Chicago,â€? are to be given to residents

Other plans include holding an antique car show, a radio program, inviting a professor to speak about the Great Depression, holding a panel discussion about history, tap dancing, quilting demonstrations, a 1930s fashion show and a community food drive. A children’s event will include a pie-eating contest, jump roping, hopscotch, yo-yos, board games, marbles and jacks games. In addition, the book’s author Peck is being brought to Rosemount for a day, said Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste, who added he will visit schools and attend a community meeting to discuss the book. One Read, One Rosemount was devised by the Rosemount Community Leaders Group, formed in 2009 and made of many local representatives including Jamie Jurgensen, Robert Trail Library manager, who first proposed the event and is leading the planning for it. Other members of the leadership group include school principals from Red Pine, Shannon Park and Rosemount elementaries, along with the middle and high schools; City Administrator Dwight Johnson, and Police Chief Gary Kalstabakken. The leaders group, now headed by Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste, began by Community of Hope Church Rev. Bill Goodwin, who wanted to help inspire change after the 2008 stabbing death of 17-year-old Cody Casey. Casey had died after being stabbed during a fight with 16-year-old schoolmate Dakota Cheyenne Butler, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is in the Red Wing Juvenile Correctional Facility until he reaches age 21. Goodwin said his concern about the stabbing was multiplied for him because

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Abiding by endorsement would have served DFL better by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Four weeks from now, we will know the candidate who will appear on the ballot carrying the banner for the Democrats in the race for governor. Since the endorsing conventions ended, Republicans have been working hard to rally behind their endorsed candidate – Tom Emmer, a state representative from Delano. The Democrats for their part have been stealing most of the headlines from Emmer, but I’m not so sure for good reasons. From the outset of the endorsing process, one that has seemingly worked well for both major parties for many years, former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton and former state Minority Leader Matt Entenza said they would not abide by the party endorsement and run in the Aug. 10 primary. I don’t like the message their decision sent to the delegates – “Thanks for your service, but all

your commitment was all for nothing. … Still, I’d like your vote in the primary.” I understand their rationale for not wanting to be beholden to the party endorsement since the process places the decision in the hands of a few delegates rather than a broader vote of the people. It is logical, but I rather prefer an endorsing convention (as Republican Marty Seifert did this year) because the volunteers who serve as delegates are often much more informed about the choices than those participating in a primary. Dayton and Entenza’s view that the endorsement comes at the hands of the few is also a matter of perspective. Voter turnout for primaries is often low, especially in this year’s nonpresidential election cycle. Still, I will grant them that having about 30 percent of likely DFL voters (based on the 2006 election con-

tested primary) is a broader indication of support. I’m sure their decision was not altogether altruistic. Dayton and Entenza have a significant amount of personal cash reserves from which to draw in funding advertising and campaign organization that exceeds what any candidate would have after emerging from this year’s DFL-endorsing process. The DFL-endorsed candidate, Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher, has handled the situation with skill and grace. She has decided to focus on the issues and traveled the state relying on a door-to-door grassroots campaign to build support. Dayton and Entenza have also done their share of on-theground campaigning, but they also are relying heavily on a flood of television advertising to boost their fortunes. I hope voters aren’t swayed much by these kinds of commercials and rather focus on the issues. Other than differing back-

grounds and leadership styles, I don’t see fundamental differences among the three DFL choices. Like many people, I view candidates through the lens of how they stand on issues of importance. For a governor, those criteria don’t change from party to party. People look to state government primarily for decisions regarding education, taxation, transportation and health care. In the past two editions of the Dakota County Tribune Business Weekly, the newspaper’s Capitol Commerce pages have featured each of the three candidates. ECM capitol reporter T.W. Budig has done a good job setting forth their perspectives on the issues in the stories, which can be found online at ThisweekLive.com under This Week in Dakota County. Though there are slight differences among the three with regard to the major issues, the trio’s views are in stark contrast to Emmer. My sense is that people who lean left politically would sup-

port any of the three over Emmer. Since that is the case, wouldn’t it make more sense to abide by the party endorsement and rally money and support behind a single candidate as the Republicans have done this year? I like the idea of rewarding hard work and playing by the rules. The endorsement process, though flawed in some ways, is a rule that aims to set forth the two major party candidates early enough so those moderate undecided voters can see them debate each other rather than three of the same kind. Since I like rules, I guess I’ll endure the primary challenge because it is part of the game. DFLers will have to wait until Nov. 2 to find out if they made the right choice on Aug. 10.

Letters Endorsement signals trouble

Property rights are being taken away

To the editor: I have had my suspicions about how closely candidate Kurt Bills resembles the former Republican candidate for the District 37B House seat, Judy Lindsay. As many will recall, Lindsay’s radical right extremism was frightening for even the more conservative voters in Rosemount and Apple Valley. Well, now I find out that Bills has been endorsed by – and embraces – the national Republican Liberty Caucus. This is a group whose statement of principles includes calling to eliminate the Department of Education. Even more, they want to privatize all government assets and oppose all corporate and business taxes. I bet BP likes the sound of that. In accepting this endorsement Bills said: “With the Republican Liberty Caucus endorsement my campaign continues to reach out to the broader electorate.” I don’t know who Bills considers the “broader electorate” when it comes to those who want to ditch the Department of Education, eliminate corporate and business taxes, and turn over all government assets to corporations and private interests. But I have a pretty good idea that by accepting this endorsement, Bills is signaling to Judy Lindsay and her supporters that he is indeed “one of them.” More importantly, moderate – and even conservative – voters, beware of Kurt Bills and this extremist right agenda.

To the editor: Laura Adelmann’s story exploring the impact of recently enacted water management ordinances in the Vermillion River watershed gave a human face to the controversy over these unpopular regulations and showed how they take away people’s property rights for vague, unsubstantiated public benefits. Shockingly, Dakota County Commissioner Joe Harris was quoted as dismissing the controversy over “so-called property rights,” as though such rights really don’t exist. Harris has made it his mission to enact and oversee this most ambitious confiscation of private property seen in these parts. Instead of taking responsibility for this unprecedented land grab, he attempts to deflect blame to the state and federal government, saying that they are the bad guys who took away property rights. He just happens to be taking advantage of that, so don’t blame him. When did they repeal the Constitution? I remember our Minnesota Legislature responding quite quickly to the overwhelming public demand for stricter limits on the government’s ability to condemn land using eminent domain statutes back in 2006. As a practicing attorney, I have closely studied these laws and concluded that the requirement that landowners give the government a conservation easement over buffer areas without compensation violates the Constitution. This isn’t a liberal/conservative issue. I’ve seen liberals and conservatives alike react in exactly the same way when their own land is

threatened to be taken. The people who support such takings are generally do so because they think they’ll get something out of it. But after they take your neighbor’s property who will stand with you when the government wants yours? With a county commissioner who doesn’t believe in property rights, nobody’s property is safe. CAROL S. COOPER Farmington

Moderation isn’t right To the editor: Larry Werner’s tribute to moderation (“A moderate Republican reminds us of better days,” July 2) completely misses the mark. There is nothing to be gained from moderation for moderation’s sake. And compromise is almost never the correct solution to any problem. On the biggest problem facing Minnesota government – the budget – moderation and compromise are what caused our current disastrous state of affairs. Specifically, if one side of this “polarized political environment” wants to overspend by some $6 billion, and the other side wants the state to live within its means, what is the common ground on which they can and should agree? It isn’t a question of one side being unwilling to cooperate and “find solutions,” but rather that one side is right and the other is wrong. The correct and only solution to our budget problem is for state government to live within its means, just as the rest of us must do. If Minnesota state government spending had simply

Photo ID would save money, increase voting convenience by Kent Kaiser SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Minnesota Voters Alliance recently unveiled its “Voter Protection Pledge,” a bipartisan initiative that aims to get candidates for public office to pledge support for legislation requiring photo ID to access a ballot and thereby protect the integrity and value of every Minnesotan’s vote. The alliance should be commended for its efforts. In poll after poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans have indicated support for instituting a photo ID requirement to access a ballot, including 71 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of Independents, and 86 percent of Republicans polled by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press in 2006. The people want it, but so far, our elected officials have failed to give it to us, under pressure from liberal anti-reform special interests like ACORN, Common Cause, and the ironically named Citizens for Election Integrity in Minnesota. These groups naively claim there is no election fraud and that photo ID is therefore unnecessary. Of course, most people understand that photo ID would increase integrity in Minnesota elections. Requiring and providing photo ID would also be a source of empowerment for disadvantaged people, especially minorities, women, homeless people, and elderly citizens, as whole worlds of commerce, employment, and activities that formerly were impeded would be opened to them. And, while the Minnesota Voters Alliance focuses on matters of integrity and empowerment, there are some other highly positive aspects of using photo ID in elections that often get lost in this discussion – namely, streamlining and modernizing election processes and saving tax dollars associated with election administration. A swipe of a photo ID through a card reader could fill in the data fields in the state’s voter registration system, thereby eliminating common data-entry mistakes that take place with the current pen-andpaper registration system. Same-day voter

registration would be incredibly fast. A swipe of such an ID at the signin table in the polling place on Election Day also would eliminate the need to line up by parts of the alphabet, eliminate the need for voters to say their name aloud when approaching the sign-in table, and would greatly speed up the lines in the polling places. This would also eliminate the need for post-Election Day data entry of voter participation history by hand, which after the 2008 election took several months and cost county governments tens of thousands of dollars to complete. Naturally, the overwhelming majority of election administrators across Minnesota favor installing this technology, but unfortunately they hold far less sway over legislators than the well-heeled, anti-reform special interests do. Still, when it comes to photo ID and election administration, the anti-reform special interests have no good response. What are they going to say? That they favor long lines, less privacy, and more errors in the voter database? Are they going to say they favor killing more trees and making local taxpayers pay tens of thousands more in staff costs? No. Instead, they use fear-mongering terms like “disenfranchisement” and “voter suppression” to distract attention from the real issues, even though places that have implemented photo ID for voting have seen huge increases in voter turnout as voters have felt more confidence in the election system. The fact remains: There is no good reason to oppose photo ID when it comes to election administration. It’s time for this common-sense reform to be passed into law.

Thisweekend 30 years later, high school friends share the stage again Jeff McAlpin and Shelley Kothe are adding another chapter to their shared history in theater with ‘The Music Man’ this month by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two veteran actors who cut their teeth doing student and community theater in Dakota County in the 1970s return to the stage at Eagan High School this summer for “The Music Man.� Jeff McAlpin describes himself as a “geeky theater kid� when as a ninth-grader at Rosemount High School he goaded shy classmate Shelley Kothe into auditioning for the school play. “I dragged her into this little theater for the audition because I had a crush on her,� said McAlpin, who graduated from Rosemount High in 1979. “She got the lead (in the play) and went on to star in every show in high school. She, of course, ends up dating the homecoming king and I end up being her best friend.� “I always take credit for her theater career,� he added

with a laugh. “I pushed her into it.� McAlpin and Kothe are cast this month in Eagan High School Summer Community Theatre’s production of “The Music Man,� which runs July 16-31 and is directed by south-metro theater stalwart Denny Swanson. Interestingly, both McAlpin and Kothe performed in the first summer theater show Swanson directed in Dakota County – “The Wizard of Oz� at Apple Valley High School in 1977. McAlpin played the Scarecrow, while Kothe played an “assistant witch.� And it was through Swanson that Kothe found her calling. While McAlpin now works for Apple computers, Kothe’s day job is as a storyteller/presenter with the theater company Schiffelly Puppets based in Lakeville. She traces her interest in puppetry to another show Swanson

All data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service. Reports are created and maintained by 10K Research and Marketing.

New construction inventory is at more healthy level of 10.5 seen a year ago. With the initial weeks following the tax credit showing large declines in home sales, however, the region can expect that new construction sales are declining as well. The only price range that’s seeing its Months Supply of Inventory increase compared to a year ago is above $1 million. The 34.6 months available in that category represents a very high number,

��

relative to historical performance. Prices are softest in the condominium market, where the Price Per Square Foot has declined by 15.4 percent over the last 12 months from $165 to $139.

The surge in buyer activity the Twin Cities area saw over the last 12 months brought the inventory of new construction homes down to a much more healthy level than the market has seen in recent years, according to a press release from the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors, which serves Dakota County. In June there were 7.9 months of new construction supply, down from the mark

Hunters/from 1A were harsh. The intense heat meant they went to bed drenched in sweat. They weathered torrential rain each day. And Papua New Guinea’s paucity of modern transportation prompted the MIA Hunters to create their own road for their Land Rovers. When venturing through the jungle, it was necessary to stop at nearby villages and get

permission to be on the land. Sometimes they were required pay “tribute� in the form of a small amount of money. Not securing permission could have meant trouble, as violent retribution for trespassing is not unheard of among the natives. “You’re constantly in harm’s way in one way or another,� Thompson said. “It’s either the environment or the people.� Thompson said what he’ll

remember most about the trip is the natives. “The people are absolutely fascinating – frightening, but fascinating,� he said. “They’re the most creative, intuitive people I’ve met in my whole life. “The first thing my kids said to me after the first day was, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing if the U.S. lived this way?’ They have nothing – they start their fires by rubbing two sticks together – and there’s nobody that doesn’t have a smile on their face.� Asked if he’d undertake another MIA Hunters mission, Thompson had a ready reply: “In a heartbeat.� “How many people do you know that have lived with cannibals and headhunters?� he said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.� Andrew Miller is at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com.

Kline/from 9A find jobs that enable them to support themselves and their families,� Kline’s spokesman, Troy Young, said in an e-mail interview. “The Career and Jobs Fair is one concrete way he can expose constituents to new opportunities to get back to work.� While Minnesota is faring better than the nation as a whole, “too many men and women are still out of work,� Young wrote. “Over the past 18 months, Congress has not only failed to stop unemployment, they are actually making the problem worse.� This month Kline voted

against House Democrats’ bill to extend expiring unemployment benefits through Nov. 30. The Senate hadn’t acted on the measure earlier this week. “Rather than support a bill that was not paid for and would add $34 billion to the federal deficit, Congressman Kline supported legislation that would provide the same unemployment benefits and offset the costs by using stimulus funds,� Young wrote. Kline’s prescription for job creation includes “tax incentives for small businesses and tax relief for working families,� according to Young. The congressman co-spon-

sored an alternative economic-stimulus bill that included cuts in personal income taxes which would have allowed “small businesses to reduce tax liability by 20 percent,� Young wrote. The fair, to be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will feature employers with openings in a variety of fields including health care, technology, finance and retail. The free event will be held in the Fine Arts Building, 2500 E. 80th St., Inver Grove Heights. Parking is available in the Fine Arts parking lot.

Sports Brief ASA girls state slow-pitch softball The ASA Girls Slow-Pitch Softball championships will be held July 10-11 at Lac Lavon fields. The competition is divided into age groups of under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18. All games will be on a one-hour time rule with the exception of the championships.

World Cup fever should infect Minnesota Several area teams will attend the international Schwan’s USA Cup in Blaine by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Every four years when the World Cup is over, people start to ask the question: “Will soccer finally become popular in the USA?” Every four years and the answer remains: “It depends on who you ask.” Few people follow Major League Soccer like they do other professional sports. The local pro team NSC Stars don’t get the attention of even the St. Paul Saints. When the World Cup ends, the average sports fan won’t pay attention to professional soccer for another four years. But looking at the younger set, one will find that soccer is booming. It’s one of, if not the most popular youth sport in Minnesota. Children from 4 to 14 talk, think and play soccer all spring, summer and fall. Minnesota has its own

PRESSBOX version of a World Cup next week at the Schwan’s USA Cup at the National Sports Center in Blaine. Several area programs like Dakota REV, Lakeville, Eagan, Burnsville Fire, and Valley United will compete in various age brackets throughout the week. They will be among almost 1,000 teams from all over the world converging in Blaine. Teams from Thailand and Cayman Islands will have representation for the first time in the USA Cup. Teams from countries that have experienced recent hardship like Haiti (earthquake) and Iceland (economic collapse) have also made the trip this year. For these and other mil-

lions of Americans, they won’t wait another four years to watch soccer again.

Lakeville lacrosse honored After easily its best season since lacrosse became a varsity sport, the Lakeville girls coaching staff received recognition for their efforts. Kate Leavell, head coach of Lakeville girls lacrosse, and Debbie Minneman, assistant coach, were named Coach of the Year and Assistant Coach of the Year for Girls High School Lacrosse, by the Minnesota State Coaches Association. The team improved drastically this season qualifying for state for the first time since the team was founded four years ago. Team member Danica Cutshall was named All American for both her athletic and academic achievements.

Volleyball becomes a family matter Area players on Northern Lights club team finish second at nationals by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Sports sometimes start as a family activity and other times they evolve into one. Apple Valley’s Taylor Voss has both going for her on the volleyball court. She helped the Northern Lights 17-1, an all-star volleyball club team, place second at the Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships in Reno, Nev., on July 1. At the beginning of the tournament, Northern Lights 17-1 didn’t look like a team capable of finishing second. “We were just playing bad,” Voss said. Northern Lights didn’t play for five days prior to the tournament, so it took a while to get back in rhythm. “I definitely knew we could play better than that,” teammate Katie Habeck of Farmington said. Northern Lights lost its first two games, but the girls

turned their play around to win the next four games and qualify for the final against the Michigan Elites. “I think we all worked really well together,” Habeck said. Voss and Habeck were named to the all-tournament team along with teammate Lisa Atkinson from Northfield. “I was really surprised,” Voss said. “That was a really big honor.” The 15-1 team also finished second at Nationals.

“Those are probably the most fun games,” Voss said. “I like playing them, but at the same time it’s weird.” Habeck said playing with the club team gives her a chance to meet girls from other parts of Minnesota. “It’s fun,” Habeck said. “We laugh through the net the entire time.” Nationals was the end of the season for Northern Lights. Most girls plan on playing with the program their senior years.

Family rivalry

Sibling rivalry

Throughout the year, Northern Lights 17-1 has grown as a family, which members cite as a big reason for the turnaround. “We really got along on and off the court, which really helped,” Voss aid. Many of the girls will see each other again this fall during the high school season. Only this time they will be on the other side of the net. Teammates from Apple Valley such as Melissa Racz and Voss, along with Eastview’s Ashley Murtha, will be rivals this September.

One person who will be on the Apple Valley team with Voss is her sister Rachel, who also received an all-American award this summer at the AAU Nationals in June in Orlando, Fla., with the Northern Lights 15-2 team. She plays the libero position, an often unheralded defensive specialist. “It’s a really high honor,” Rachel Voss said. “Usually hitters get recognized.” Her team finished runnerPhoto by Rick Orndorf up at the tournament.

Throwing baseballs for a living Iversen going South George Jensen drafted by Tampa Bay Rays last month by Andy Rogers

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For many young baseball players, becoming a professional is their dream. But for 2008 Eastview graduate and Eagan native George Jensen, he never thought it would become a reality. “I was throwing 87 (miles per hour) in high school, so it really wasn’t in my mind,” he said. “I really had no intention of getting drafted.” He received a baseball scholarship from Des Monies Area Community College where he just completed his second year. During his time at DMACC, the 6-foot-4 righthanded pitcher spent several hours a week in the gym pushing and pulling weights to increase his strength. “I went from 87 to 93 in a year and that really helped my chances,” Jensen said. He was a closer the first year he played and DMACC advanced to the JUCO World Series. Several Major League Baseball scouts started attending DMACC games in 2009 to watch Jensen’s teammate Mitch Mormann, who plays for Louisiana State University and was drafted by San Francisco in the 20th round last year. Jensen caught the eye of several scouts after he relieved Mormann.

George Jensen throws a ball during the 2008 season for Eastview. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays last month. This year, he took on a starting role. Jensen was drafted in the 46th round by the Tampa Bay Rays on June 9 after compiling a 5-1 record last season with a 3.77 ERA with 30 strike outs in 57.1 innings. He signed a contract with the team June 22 and traveled to Princeton, W. Va., to play in the Rookie Appalachian League. He stays at a nearby Comfort Inn with other teammates. He’s at the field by 1

p.m. for practice and games usually begin at 7 p.m. Jensen has pitched two successful relief outings. He’s thrown 6.1 innings, giving up no runs off six hits and four strikeouts. Although he’s been playing a relief role for the Rays, Jensen prefers starting. “You have more time to work through things,” Jensen said. “As a starter you’re more relaxed. You have more time to make adjustments.”

He said the game moves quicker and the hitters are much better at the rookie league level, but it equals out with the use of wooden bats. “It’s harder for them to get around and make solid contact,” Jensen said. He plans on riding his pitching arm as far as it will take him. “I’d like to move up a level every year and a half or so,” he said. The rookie league is one step below Class A. His road to the Rays started at Eastview, where pitching wasn’t his first position. “I was 15 years old when I realized I wanted to be a pitcher,” Jensen said. He soon developed a slider and has been adding velocity to his fastball ever since. His fondest memory was in 2008 when the team started 9-0. “It was great, even though we didn’t finish the way we wanted to,” he said. He gives a lot of credit to Eastview’s pitching coach at the time Jim Egan, who helped Jensen raise his velocity. He said head coach Tom Strey made the team “wonderful.” DMACC also featured area baseball players like Lakeville’s Dylan Thomas; Apple Valley’s Jordan Buck and Nick Elioff; Burnsville’s Cody Aasen and John Loeffler; and Rosemount’s Mark Radmacher in the lineup last spring.

Longtime Apple Valley baseball coach to lead Lakeville South by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When Mark Zeise announced he was stepping down as coach of the Lakeville South baseball team, Apple Valley’s head coach Al Iversen was a likely candidate to succeed him. He lives and teaches in Lakeville, where his two sons are in second and fourth grade. He is also a former assistant for the high school and American Legion teams. “A lot of coaches speculated I would go,” Iversen said. “I said I had I job at Apple Valley. (I told them) until the season is over, I don’t want it brought to my attention anymore.” The season is over and the attention was deserved. Iversen has resigned as head baseball coach at Apple Valley to become the varsity baseball coach at Lakeville South. He said the decision came down to what was best for his family. Although his sons are too young for varsity ball, the opportunity to coach them in the future, rather than coach against them, made the deciAndy Rogers is at sion easier. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

“I figured out I have to keep going. I’ve got a long life ahead of me,� she said. “I can either sit around and mope or I can make the best of it.� The couple have already self-published “Rudy Gets a Transplant� and “Rudy’s Checkup� in the Rudy series. The third, “What’s On My Nose?� is due out this fall. For more information on the books, visit rudyslittleworld.com

In 2009, facing her third organ transplant surgery, Stacy Raye Waibel, 47, was primarily concerned for her kidney donor, husband Wayne Waibel. “She’s knocking on death’s door and all she can worry about is everybody else,� Wayne said, shaking his head. It’s been a year since the Apple Valley couple’s successful transplant experience, and this week they will speak about it in New Jersey to 2,400 employees of Rouche International. The company, which manufactures transplant medications Stacy takes, has also invited the couple to sell copies of the “Rudy’s Little World� children’s book series Stacy authors to help others facing medical issues. Featuring a cartoon dog named Rudy based on the couple’s real-life black teacup poodle, Stacy’s books explain in simple language the kinds of things children can expect when going for a checkup or undergoing surgery. The tales reflect a portion

of the kind of experiences with doctors, hospitals and health complications Stacy has endured. At 19, Stacy lost her vision to juvenile diabetes, and in 1995, she underwent her first kidney transplant; the donor was Wayne’s younger sister, Tammy Waibel. A pancreas transplant in 2003 eliminated Stacy’s diabetes. Stacy said undergoing so many surgeries and getting used to living without sight has been a challenge, but one she decided early on to accept.
