Woman charged Sheriff’s Office violated federal labor act Error could cost county thousands with assault of Apple Valley police officer by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Burnsville woman who allegedly kicked a police officer in the mouth while she was being placed under arrest for disorderly conduct outside an Apple Valley gas station is now facing charges in Dakota County District Court. Tajhet Angelete Horne, 19, has been charged with fourth-degree assault, disorderly conduct Tajhet Horne and driving after suspension following the Sept. 4 incident outside the Holiday gas station at 15550 Cedar Ave. A criminal complaint filed last week gives the following account: An Apple Valley police officer was dispatched to the gas station around 3:45 p.m. on a report that a woman had filled a gas can with gasoline and walked off without paying. As the officer arrived in the area, he observed a vehicle driven by a woman matching the description of the suspect pulling into the gas station. The suspect, Horne, told the officer she had returned to pay for the gas. The officer told Horne she was no longer a suspect in a gas theft, but issued her a citation for driving after suspension, as her license had been suspended in July. Horne called a relative to come to the gas station and drive the car away, but no one came and the officer called a tow truck to have the vehicle towed, and also called for another squad car to assist at the scene. Waiting for the tow truck, Horne “became verbally abusive and was swearing and calling the officers names,� the complaint said. When the tow truck arrived, Horne confronted the driver and began to swear loudly in front of several people who’d gathered outside the gas station. An officer advised Horne she was under arrest for disorderly conduct, at which point she “began to struggle with the officers and resisted attempts to restrain her,� according to the complaint. Horne was handcuffed and placed in the back of a squad car, but in the process kicked an officer in the mouth, splitting his lower lip and causing it to swell. While in the back of the squad car, Horne kicked at the windows and screamed profanities at the officers, the complaint said. If convicted of fourth-degree assault, a gross misdemeanor, Horne faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $3,000 fine. Disorderly conduct and driving after suspension are both misdemeanors; each carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Horne’s next court appearance is Dec. 20 in Dakota County District Court in Hastings. Andrew Miller is at andrew.miller@ecm-inc. com.

Dakota County will likely have to pay some Sheriff’s Office employees three years of back pay and interest or penalties for violating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. County Attorney James Backstrom confirmed there is an investigation under way regarding pay issues involving eight clerks that work in the Dakota County Jail. He explained that in January of 2007, then-Sheriff Don Gudmundson implemented a new scheduling system involving 12hour shifts that resulted in some hourly employees working more than 40 hours in a week without

Ex-newspaper publisher Dan Clay was a history buff who loved musty old archives and chatting with senior citizens about bygone days, says his wife, Faye. He was also a risk-taker who guided the staid family enterprise, the Dakota County Tribune, into a new way of doing business in an ever-more competitive market. In 1979, Dan and his brother, Joe, debuted Thisweek Newspapers, a free-circulation weekly for communities south of the river. Dan Clay, of Lakeville,

The law also states that employees may be able to recover double the amount of damages due them, or may be awarded interest. In addition, they may be able to recover any attorney’s fees accumulated in regard to the situation. Backstrom would not confirm the amount of pay owed, nor whether interest will be paid. “It certainly is my belief that the amount of dollars here is not going to create a significant issue concerning the county’s 2011 budget,� Backstrom said. A detailed investigation into each employee’s hours and pay has been going on for months, but a media representative con-

Some District 196 parents encourage support for operating levy this fall by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Molly Wellik sees an intrinsic value in public schools. “If you don’t have a good school system you don’t have a healthy community,� said Wellik, vice chair of the Eastview Community Foundation Board and parent of one child at Eastview High School in Apple Valley and of two children at Falcon Ridge Middle School, also in Apple Valley. Wellik hopes others agree this November when voters have the opportunity to approve or deny an operating levy referendum to reduce the more than $20 million in projected cuts in the Rose-

mount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district for 2011-12. She is not the only one. Sandy Obarski, a 25-year veteran of the nursing ranks in the district, has raised two sons who are themselves raising kids in the district. Obarski, of Apple Valley, will vote for the levy because she feels “the education of our children is important for their future.� “District 196 has always provided good education for children and I don’t want to see that change,� she said. One of the biggest differences Obarski sees today is an increasing student-toteacher ratio.

“When I began working in the district as a school nurse, the ratio was at a more acceptable lower level,� she said. “As the classrooms became more crowded, the stress level for staff and students increased and there were more visits to the nurse’s office.� To be sure, Wellik can be expected to support a levy given her involvement with the schools. The Eastview Foundation is designed to fill the persistent funding gaps in that high school and its feeder schools. But she insists this actually gives her a better insight. “I see it from an insider perspective,� she said. “(The administrators) are so fru-

Kimmes was arrested after it was determined that he was suspected in other ongoing copper-related thefts. Deputies also pulled over Daniel Floyd Seifert, 49, of Cannon Falls, who was driving a grey Cadillac DeVille nearby residents had reported as suspicious. Seifert told deputies he had just come from work and was in the area to look for a truck that was for sale. But deputies learned from Seifert’s employer that Seifert had called in sick the last two days. A gas can and wire bolt cutters were also found in the trunk of the car. Seifert was arrested and admitted to dropping off Kimmes to remove wire from an irrigator, and said both men took the wire to the wooded area and burned it there. The wire was recovered and the end matched a wire that had been cut earlier that day from an irrigator owned by a Castle Rock Township resident who had also seen a vehicle similar to the one Seifert had been driving near his home. Both Kimmes and Seifert have been charged with felony criminal property damage and gross misdemeanor theft.

Early morning black smoke in the sky signaled the apparent end of a copper crime spree that occurred in rural Dakota and Goodhue counties over the past several weeks. During that time, about $15,000 worth of copper wire was stolen from large irrigation systems left in rural crop land, and officials presumed the material was being sold for scrap metal. The theory apparently proved true, according to complaints from the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office. On Sept. 8, a Goodhue County Sheriff’s deputy noticed the smoke in a rural area of Randolph, and a Dakota County deputy also responded to a call about it. They investigated and discovered burning wire in a wooded area; often plastic casing is burned off to get at wire, according to Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows. Deputies also found several suspicious men in the area, including Matthew Steven Kimmes, 24, whom deputies spotted walking on the rural roads. He told deputies he was taking a “nature walk,� but when he spotted smoke decided to see what was burning. However, smoke was not Laura Adelmann is at dcedivisible from where they were tor@frontiernet.net. standing.

Backstrom said the county plans to soon meet with union officials to prepare a plan that will be presented to federal officials with the U.S. Department of Labor. He added that an investigation commenced as soon as it was brought to the county’s attention in early 2010. “We have every intention to fully comply with the federal Labor Act,� Backstrom said.

Backstrom said the result was an inadvertent violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. “These employees were entitled to some overtime compensation and didn’t receive it, so we’re in the process of looking into how to resolve it,� he said. Confidential sources within the Sheriff’s Office said based on salaries and overtime, some clerks could be getting about $10,000 each in back pay. According to the law, employees owed overtime but not paid it can recover the time-and-a-half back pay they are owed for the last two years if it was an unwillful violation of the FLSA.

Callahan said a lot of parents she encounters at EHS support the levy simply because of the experience of their children. “When a kid comes home to complain about his or her favorite teacher being cut, you know it’s serious,� she said. “If we don’t pass something like this (a levy), it sends a bad message to the kids.� The estimated tax increase for a $250,000 home (about average for the district) is $280 a year (or less than a dollar a day). Callahan said she understands that some families may experience hardship from the extra tax burden. But for those who can afford it, she sees a sense of obligation. “I think for the rest of us E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. it is what we should be doing vehling@ecm-inc.com. for our kids,� she said. “We

know property values are higher because of the schools. People seem to love the education in our district.� Wellik’s husband, Patrick, is a partner at Apple Valley Eye Care. Molly Wellik said that as small business owners, supporting the levy would yield benefits exceeding the tax increase. “The amount is so minimal compared to what you get out of a healthy community,� she said. “If you don’t have good schools, people choose to live in other places and frequent businesses in other places. I hope people look at that holistic view.� District residents can vote for or against the levy on Election Day, Nov. 2.

Dan Clay/from 1A Rapids-based ECM Publishers Inc., which bought Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune in 1999. “Dan Clay, I always felt, was kind of the caretaker or the father figure, not only for the family but also, I thought, for the company.� The Tribune, once the dominant subscription newspaper in Dakota County, began publishing in Farmington in 1884. Dan and Joe’s greatgrandfather, Ham Clay Sr., took over the paper in 1911. Their grandfather, Ham Jr., and then their father and uncle, Roger and Eugene, ran the Tribune before Dan and Joe took the reins. Dan and Faye, sweethearts at Farmington High School, married 33 years ago. “As soon as he opened up that door I could smell that ink and the press wash,� Faye said. “That smell was on his clothes. You’d open up the door and get a little burst of wind and know he was home. His fingers were always blue with ink.� Growth patterns in Dakota County and the 1975 emergence of a free weekly newspaper in Burnsville, The Current, dictated a change in strategy for the Tribune, Joe Clay said.

“They were taking our heads,� said Joe, of Prior Lake. “Our core circulation was the FarmingtonL a k e v i l l e - Ro s e m o u n t area. We were a Farmington-based paper and they were the new Burnsville paper. That’s where all the new businesses were coming in, from the north to the south.� The new product – free weeklies that were soon divided into separate papers for Burnsville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Eagan, Farmington and Lakeville, and distributed to more than 50,000 homes – “overtook the Dakota County Tribune,� Joe said. (That paper, which continued to publish for a small paid subscription base, has today been refashioned into a weekly business journal with free subscriptions.) The company moved to Burnsville to solidify its presence in the new market territory. The “Farmington paper� relocating to Burnsville was a mystery to some, Joe said. But in the 1980s, profitability arrived via a key innovation – an entire section devoted to real estate advertising and news in a then-booming market. “That was the end of the battle. We just took off,� said Joe, giving much

credit to his and Danny’s sister, Cindy, Thisweek’s longtime sales manager, who left the paper in 2008. The free weeklies and the real estate section were his ideas – which might have gone nowhere without his brother, Joe said. “I helped him, is what it amounted to. I’d get an idea every 10 years, and he’d carry the whole damn thing out. ... Without him, it wouldn’t have worked. We needed both of us to get something to work.� Dan was the “doer,� said Athmann, who got to know the Clays in the 1990s when ECM owned the distribution company that delivered Thisweek Newspapers. “Together it all clicked, and they created this wonderful, strong product that neither the Star Tribune nor the Pioneer Press could dislodge and overtake,� said Athmann, who left ECM last year and is now CEO of IEA Inc., an indoor environmental consulting company based in Brooklyn Park. “It was Dan’s leadership that made this thing all work,� Athmann said. “He was the glue that held it together.� The fast-moving bone cancer that killed Dan followed a previous bout with life-threatening illness. In fall 2008 he was di-

agnosed with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable lung disease, Faye said. He was put on a national lung-transplant registry on March 25, 2009, and the family was informed on March 28 a lung was available. “This wonderful, unselfish donor family had given us new hope with their miracle gift,� Faye said. “He fought hard to take care of and honor his new gift of life, and accepted all the challenges of regaining health and strength.� This summer, after

experiencing back pain, Dan was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer. He died at home. “Danny loved his retirement,� his brother said. “He was a family man who loved golfing with Faye, working on his house, putting his kids through school, just being with the kids. He pretty much took care of his house and golfed. He was a pretty simple man.� Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Roger and Joyce Clay. He’s survived by his wife, Faye; children, Nicole (Taylor) Flannery, 32, Stephanie

County sets levy max amidst union debates County seeks to avoid $1.8 million insurance increase by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Perhaps more than in previous years, setting Dakota County’s preliminary levy represented a precarious balancing act. Economic woes, the state’s fiscal shortfalls and months of intense union negotiations backdropped the Dakota County Board’s 5-1 decision on Sept. 14 to set the county’s 2011 preliminary maximum levy at $129,402,073, a 0.8 percent

increase from 2010. And, acting as the Regional Rail Authority, commissioners unanimously approved a 38 percent maximum levy increase to the RRA portion of property tax bills next year. As a result, the maximum Regional Rail levy would go from $1,190,516 to $1,640,516 next year. The proposed RRA levy maximum increase will allow for county plans to fund Cedar Avenue transit, and further plans for transit on Robert Street in 2011 and beyond. Despite the increases, the net county portion of

taxes on the median valued home will actually decrease by about 50 cents in 2011, in part due to those residential values dropping faster than other property types. County commissioners issued the split vote in setting the annual maximum county levy just one day before the legal deadline. And before voting on the issue, commissioners (Paul Krause was absent) spent about 90 minutes in closed executive session, primarily discussing ongoing labor negotiations. Labor leaders have balked at the county’s proposal to save taxpayers from a $1.8 million health insurance cost increase next year by changing employees’ health insurance plans. Under the proposed plan, employees would pay higher deductibles, with an individual out-of-pocket

After Burnsville resident DeeDee Currier won election to the District 191 School Board in November 2008, she kept her seat on the city’s Planning Commission. Currier’s continued service on the City Council-appointed advisory body didn’t seem quite right to at least a few Burnsville residents.

situation he has called unsustainable. Aside from the insurance costs, county officials have struggled to set a budget amidst an uncertain economy and have made cuts to help fill a $10 million hole created in large part by the state’s estimated $5.8 billion deficit for 2012-13. County officials have also struggled with the budget as falling property values have caused a 6.5 percent reduction in the county’s tax base. Richardson will present the recommended budget Nov. 2. The public Truth in Taxation hearing is Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. in the Dakota County Board Room, Administration Center, 1590 Highway 55, Hastings.

Branning said the arrangement is the best the county can do for employees like Social Services workers buried in increased caseloads. “It’s better than zero on the table. ‌ We can’t do big merit and cost-of-living raises, but we can do this,â€? he said. As the commissioner who issued the lone vote against the 0.8 percent levy increase resolution, Schouweiler said she supported a 1 percent increase maximum to allow the county more flexibility in negotiations regarding employee benefits. “I think there are just too many unknowns at this time,â€?

limit of $2,000 and a $4,000 maximum for families. Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler said the board hoped its unanimous approval of incentive pay for non-union employees, also passed at the Sept. 14 meeting, would help union employees accept the new health plan provisions. “This is sending the message that there could be the same benefit for you,� Schouweiler said of the union member employees. Those incentives include a 1 percent of salary lumpsum payment for employees who meet job performance standards and a $400 signing bonus for employees who agree to switch health insurance plans. “Each month they wait to sign, (the bonus) goes down by $100,� Schouweiler said.

“I had citizens that expressed surprise to me that she did not resign from the Planning Commission,� Council Member Mary Sherry said at a council work session Sept. 14. Dual service on a city commission and a local school board doesn’t bother a majority of council members, though. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and council members Dan Gustafson and Dan Kealey agreed Sept. 14 there should be no change in city policy to exclude school board members from serving on commissions. Sherry and Council Member Charlie Crichton disagreed. “In a city with 62,000 people, I’m concerned with having too much decisionmaking power not spread out among the people,� Sherry said. Sherry said she asked for the policy review after a second Burnsville-EaganSavage School Board member, Sandra Sweep, applied for a seat on the city’s Economic Development Commission. The council has yet to act on the application. Sherry said Currier – who chairs the Planning Commission and the District 191 board – is a good commissioner and Sweep a qualified applicant. But the dual service apparently irks some residents.

“Both city and school board have taxing authority,� Sherry said. Some perceive that dual service concentrates too much power in “too few hands,� she said. “We have to think about perception, folks,� Sherry said. “I mean, it’s really important to the public.� Burnsville has a longstanding policy excluding elected officeholders at the county, state and federal levels from serving in a voting capacity on any citizen board. The policy is silent on elected school officials. Crichton called for eliminating the restriction on all elected officeholders or adding school board members to the list. “If we have influence on the other taxing authority, it’s bad news,� he said. Gustafson said Currier’s dual roles help promote cooperation the city has long sought with District 191. Kautz said the land-use issues on which the Planning Commission votes its recommendations to the council affect the school district’s enrollment patterns. It’s not the commission’s job to worry about that, Sherry replied. Kealey said he backs the restrictions on county, state and federal officeholders. It would be wrong to expose the Planning Commission to regular “battles� between the

overlapping jurisdictions on matters from roads to rightof-way, he said. But the city and school district are “very, very different in every possible way,� Kealey said. Sweep and Currier came to their own defense. Sweep said she previously served on the local development commission while living in Greeley, Colo. The nine-year Burnsville resident said she’s simply interested in maintaining her city’s vitality. “You’re not going to serve on the school board for the next 50 years, but I do plan on being a Burnsville resident for the next 50 years,� Sweep said. Currier told council members, “I have a great respect for all of you, and I, like Sandy, love this city.� The council plans to change its policy to specifically exclude school board members from the list of restricted officeholders. It also plans to appoint Currier to a full three-year term on the Planning Commission. She was appointed in June to a one-year term while the policy review was pending. Currier was first appointed in March 2007 to fill a vacant three-year term. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

September 17, 2010 THISWEEK

Opinion Guest Columnist Clay was doer, teacher by Bob Temple SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Letters Health care must be cost-effective

only increase.

To the editor: A letter writer in the Sept. 3 Thisweek wrote that Jim Carlson’s support of singlepayer health care would threaten the Blue Cross installation in Eagan. There is little doubt that all insurance entities would be affected, but the actual workers who process the claims and analyze medical issues would still be at work as the medical care work would not go away. Our present system of health care is not costeffective compared to any single-payer system of our competitors in the world, including those in Canada and Taiwan. These single-payer systems have also resulted in healthier people who generally have longer life expectancy than with our country’s insurance-based system, in which thousands die from lack of medical care. The depressing economic effect of our very expensive system makes it more difficult for our businesses to compete. The dollar amount of health care inflation in our small company since 2000 is equivalent to the pay of three employees and has made health insurance costs the largest expense outside of people and materials. Rate increases are at least 20 percent. We sell to Taiwan, Canada, and other countries and have to compete with companies there with the lower cost structure from medical costs. The letter writer is stating that we need to protect the special interest-based health care system we have today, and therefore all the other businesses must fire employees and taxpayers must pay more money to support its rampant inflation. Carlson, who has been an engineer in 3M manufacturing, has the wisdom to see that our health care system needs to be as competent and cost-effective as those of our competitors in the world, or the stagnation and decline in our economy will

MIKE FEDDE Eagan

The corporate candidate To the editor: One only needs to look at the House race in District 38B (Eagan) to see the effect of the recent U.S. Supreme Court Citizens United decision, which opened up the floodgates of corporate PAC money so that elections can now be bought by corporations. The corporate group MN Forward has supported farright gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and has tried to remain in the shadows, free of public reporting of their activities. But in Minnesota, such groups are required to account for their influence. As MN Forward has supported Emmer, it has also endorsed like-minded House 38B candidate Doug Wardlow. Direct corporate funding of radicals like Emmer and Wardlow leads to the erosion of our democracy, where corporations gain the ability to influence candidates with their huge unfettered war chests without the responsibilities of citizens. It is no surprise, then, that corporate candidate Wardlow wants to phase out Minnesota’s corporate income tax. This means that if Wardlow gets his way and corporations pay no corporate income taxes, the rest of us will have to pay more taxes to make up the difference. Meanwhile, Wardlow could pay back his corporate backers and they would not only avoid paying their fair share, they would pay no share. To influence elections, groups such as MN Forward spend tens of thousands of dollars in independent expenditures. These expenditures usually take the form of a flood of attack literature pieces in the mail. When these arrive in your mail, consider the source and their agenda. Then vote to return our hardworking Rep. Mike Obermueller to office so he can continue to represent the

people of Eagan, rather than the shadowy corporate interests supporting Wardlow. JIM JOHNSON Eagan

Sterner endorsed following screening process To the editor: I am writing in response to a letter that was in the Sept. 3 issue of Thisweek and referenced the union’s endorsement process and subsequent endorsement of Phil Sterner. To be recommended for endorsement, our local union invited every candidate to a screening interview and asked them to complete a questionnaire. Sterner completed the screening process. His opponent never did. To become recommended for endorsement, the candidate must complete the questionnaire and attend the screening interview. The questionnaire contains questions that pertain to issues facing public education, public education policies, the candidate’s priorities and goals if elected, how they become informed on public education issues, and the value of unions. Ultimately, Sterner was endorsed because his views take a realistic approach to solving the issues in public education and ensuring that all students will have a quality education. Our local screening committee made its recommendation to the Education Minnesota Political Action Committee, which then forwarded the recommended candidate names to the Education Minnesota Governing Board for final approval. For the letter writer to imply our local union is only interested in supporting Democratic candidates is completely in error. Prior to Sterner’s election, we endorsed Republican Dennis Ozment, the previous 37B seat holder, in every election he was in. JIM SMOLA President Dakota County United Educators

I was, at first, afraid of Danny Clay. He seemed tough, gritty, intense. As a newly hired 23-yearold punk of a sports writer, I couldn’t possibly know what lay ahead, an amazing 11-year journey that would change my life forever. In short order, I quickly learned that behind the intense competitor was a smart businessman, a kind friend, a hilarious jokester, a great storyteller, a dedicated and loving family man. Danny and his brother Joe were fourth-generation owners of a family business, the Dakota County Tribune. A subscription paper, it had dominated the market in the county’s more rural days. Somewhat ironically, as farmland fell to suburbs, the newspaper fell on hard times in the 1970s. Burgeoning suburban neighborhoods attracted the attention of the two daily newspapers. Improved roads allowed the dailies to reach more subscribers south of the river. Weekly competitors popped up and offered free home delivery. It seemed there was a competitor around every corner. The Tribune’s subscription numbers dwindled, taking ad revenues with them. The Tribune was becoming a dinosaur. The tide turned with the decision to create Thisweek. It was a huge risk, and it launched a remarkable success story. Over the next 20 years, the Clays beat the weekly competitors at their own game, held off numerous targeted challenges from the two dailies, dominated their market from both advertising and editorial standpoints, and sold their business at the absolute peak of its value. Danny Clay earned every penny. He was a competitor. He was a scrapper. He was everything a smallbusiness owner should be. He knew the business, he knew his market, he knew his competitors, and he knew the strengths and weaknesses on his own staff. Danny was foremost a business-side guy, but his news sense was unquestionable. He’d kick a “fluff ” story off the pages in favor of an ad, but miss a hardnews story – or worse, get beat by a competitor to a hot story – and we’d hear about it. He earned the right to challenge anyone’s work ethic, because he outworked everyone. On press days, he was right in the thick of things. He placed ads on pages, shot page layouts into negatives, prepared the color separations, burned the plates, and drove them to press. If something broke down or malfunctioned, it was Danny there fixing it, up to his elbows in grime, chainsmoking, talking fast and loud. Whatever it was, it got fixed. When he wasn’t producing the papers, he was at his desk, meticulously reconciling the company’s books, by hand, the large desktop calculator whirring, until every last penny was accounted for. My fear of him didn’t last long. I learned quickly that the steely glare was the eye of a competitor, someone who would never back down. When one of the dailies would announce a new “South Suburban” section – which they did several times – it wasn’t perceived as a business seeking to expand market share. No, it was an attack on us, and we were going to fight. Talk about competitors and Danny’s face tightened, his voice rose in intensity

and volume, his language turned colorful. Failure wasn’t an option. We would simply outhustle and outclass the foe until the battle was won. But Danny loved a good teammate as much as he hated a competitor. He wasn’t afraid to tell someone he or she had done a good job, to celebrate a win. One time when a key account was saved by a presentation that four of us worked on, Danny spent an afternoon driving to each of our houses to personally present each of us with a bottle of champagne. Over 20 years, the Clays won enough battles to win the war as well. I was there for the final 11 years of that run – along for the ride at the start, and leading the charge at the end. Danny and I bonded quickly. He saw something in me that I didn’t even see in myself. I was less than a year removed from being told by a boss at a previous job that I didn’t work hard enough, that I needed to learn how to compete. Danny thought I could lead. Six months after I joined the news staff at Thisweek, I was put in charge of it. He had to talk me into the job, overcoming my objections with a promise that if I didn’t like it, I could go back to being sports editor in six months. But Danny was right, and there was no turning back. Over the next six years our news staff found a better place in the community, and in the company. Danny noticed. Still, it took me almost two years to convince him to give me a chance as general manager. I promised to lighten his load, to let him go home earlier on press nights, to take away some of the burden, to let him spend more time with his family. Danny believed the axiom that if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. At one point he brushed me off with, “Bob, there will never be a general manager here.” In 1993 there was, and it was me. I knew he doubted it would work. I knew I couldn’t let him down. With Danny, there was really only one way to prove you could do it – work your tail off and don’t screw up. I managed to pull it off. I still consider seeing Danny leave on our busiest production days at dinnertime – instead of the more typical bedtime – one of the greatest achievements of my career. I had proved to Mr. Do-It-Yourself that someone else could do it. Danny and I were different people, but cut from the same cloth. Danny had a system for everything; I saw the value in change. It was when I realized that my “change” was simply resulting in a new “system” that I saw just how similar we really were. Behind the competitive fire and the driven business ethic was a different man. I was fortunate to get to know that guy, too. A fantastic storyteller and occasional practical jokester, Danny’s laugh could fill a room. One night, in the middle of production, he challenged me to a jumping contest. Another time, he made me leave the office in the middle of the workday to help him learn how to hit his new driver straighter. He stepped forward to help employees with things most bosses would ignore. Your car’s making a funny noise? “Let’s have a look.” You’re laying sod? “What time?” He could also be sweet,

even at work. He took pride when an employee bought a house or a car. He beamed at news of a pregnancy. Danny did so much for me that I could never do it justice in this space. Professionally, he opened doors that probably should have never budged, put up with my bouts with immature leadership, stuck with me through some bad decisions, kept me in check. He let me learn how to manage people while managing people, and his patient guidance built a foundation for my career. Then there was the day I found out what he was really made of. I faced a personal crisis like none I had known, and I feared it might hurt me at work. I worried that Danny might see a weakness in me, that I might let him down, while I was working through my personal situation. Instead, he stepped in with a simple, “I have a book for you. Hop in my truck.” That day, Danny Clay drove me to his house. Along the way, he shared his own story of a similar crisis. Without a hint of worry about revealing his own weakness, Danny spilled his guts. The relief I felt in knowing he was in my corner set the stage for a quick recovery. I will never, ever, forget that. In 1999, Danny and Joe finally got an offer they couldn’t refuse, and sold the company to ECM Publishers. The sale was bittersweet. I hated to see him go, but it opened a door for me. I couldn’t have imagined leaving the company while Danny was still there. His departure allowed me to consider an offer from another company a year later, and I left. In the ensuing 11 years, I’ve managed more than 150 employees at different jobs. Whether they know it or not, each one of them has learned a few things, indirectly, from Danny Clay. It should come as no surprise that today I own a small, growing publishing company; that it’s located in Burnsville, not far from the old Thisweek offices; that I’m deeply involved in the daily work; that I have a system for almost everything; that if something breaks down, I’m the one who fixes it; that I meticulously reconcile the books myself; that I love to tell stories that make my employees laugh. A year ago, I found out that Danny had undergone a lung transplant and was recovering. I sent him and e-mail to check on him, and offered some updates on my family and my career. He responded in kind, updating me with great pride about his beloved family. Last week, Danny died of a fast-developing bone cancer. Shortly after I heard the news, I found that e-mail from Danny. Near the end of what would turn out to be his last communication with me, he congratulated me on the success of my business. He wrote, “You always had what it takes to be successful, Bob.” Not always, no. Much of it was put there by Danny Clay. Bob Temple joined Thisweek Newspapers/Dakota County Tribune as sports editor in 1988. He served six years as managing editor and another six as general manager. Currently, Bob is the owner and president of Red Line Editorial Inc., a Burnsville-based, 15-employee f irm that specializes in creating print and digital content for the educational market, and online content for a variety of national sports organizations.

Demolition planned for last home in way of future park-and-ride City hopes to begin construction before planned 2013 start date by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The last remaining building located on property obtained by the Rosemount Port Authority will soon be demolished to make way for a 101-stall park-and-ride site. Bids are being accepted for the work, which will begin with an inspection for hazardous materials to identify any abatement efforts needed. Rosemount Community Development Director Kim Lindquist said she expects the level of hazardous materials to be similar to that found in neighboring homes already torn down. Lindquist predicted there would probably be some hazardous materials found in the old home’s pipes, ceiling and flooring. “But we don’t expect anything big,� she said. While development of

the site isn’t planned to be funded until 2013, city officials are hoping to get the project going earlier using money freed up if another project was, for whatever reason, unable to proceed. “We hope to advance the project, but we won’t know (if the funds will be available) until March or April,� Lindquist said. Rosemount’s park-andride site is located across the street from City Hall, at 145th Street and Burnley Avenue, where five homes and one converted commercial property once stood. In 2006, the Port Authority completed acquisition of all six of the parcels needed for the lot. As part of the overall project, Burnley Avenue will be realigned to allow for drop-offs and park-andride transit users. Lindquist said the city has obtained a $148,000

grant through the Dakota County Community Development Agency to make the transit shelter big enough to accommodate walk-up transit users and enhance the building. The shelter will feature downtown acorn-style lighting and enhanced paving at the shelter. “We’ve spent so much money on downtown, we want to have painters or pavers to be consistent with the work that’s gone on,� Lindquist said. With federal funds, four buses will provide expanded express bus service for three years. Officials hope the system will help improve bus travel between Rosemount and Minneapolis by eliminating the need to transfer in Apple Valley or Eagan. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Teams are often referred to as one big family, but sometimes the line between family life and sports begins to blur. Most people become coaches because they love the sport and enjoy working with kids. Many times those kids end up being your own. And sometimes your family joins the coaching staff to help out.

Eagan’s boys basketball and boys soccer teams wouldn’t be what they are now without the Virgin family. Ben Virgin was an allstate goalie and basketball player for Eagan in 1995 while his father Kurt Virgin was the head coach for both teams during his successful run. Ben has been coaching soccer and basketball with Kurt for the past 12 years. One of Kurt’s other sons, Chad, was also an all-state goalie and basketball player

in 1999. He coached soccer with Kurt for four years and has been on the basketball staff for the past six seasons. “I think both of them were led to coaching because they love the game and had such positive experiences as athletes that they wanted to be able to pass their knowledge and experiences on to others,” Kurt said. “They both have become very successful businessmen, but still save the time for their coaching passion.” Chad and Ben have helped the basketball and soccer teams find great success in recent years. The boys soccer team went to the state tournament from 1998-2003 and they’ve been one of the top teams in the state the past two years. The boys basketball team went to state in 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2005. “It has been a real treat getting to coach with my sons,” Kurt said. “They have a great feel for the game and relate so well with our players. They know how to teach the game. Plus I selfishly get to spend some quality time with them.” Ben and Kurt have led the Wildcats to a top 10

Eagan started with two ties against Northfield and Duluth East, but won its next five games, including a 4-2 victory against Prior Lake on Monday. “We have been getting balanced scoring from a variety of players,” Kurt said.

AJ Albers is the leading scorer with five goals and two assists. “Our defense is gelling and our two goalies – Austin Stoesz and Derrick Mora – have been alternating games and both doing an outstanding job,” Kurt said.

At some point, some coaches feel they need to cut back a little to spend more time with their families. For the Revels, coaching means spending more time with your significant other. Keith and Heidi Revels, who are married, coach the boys and girls cross country teams at Farmington. Keith has been a high school coach for several years and for many of those years, Heidi was just a spectator. Two years ago, the girls cross country coach position opened up and Heidi jumped at the chance to help out. “She’s the planner at home and for cross country,” Keith said. “She’s the organized one in the family.” Heidi taught track in the past and she was an assistant at Hastings. “It’s a nice thing for me,” Heidi said. “You get to share a passion with the kids.” Although they’re two separate teams, they practice together, share assistant coaches, and attend all the same meets. “We bounce ideas off See Virgin, 11A

Football: Rosemount in a rush by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Rosemount football team apparently likes to run as much as the cross country team. In the Irish’s 35-6 win over Burnsville on Sept. 10, Rosemount put up 347 yards running the football. “We just played tougher than they did,” offensive lineman Joe Bjorklund said. “We got off the ball quick and hit them hard and they folded.” Nicholas Liska had 17 rushes for 123 yards and four touchdowns. Quarterback Kevin Larson ran for 128 yards, and Andrew Hausmann had 81 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving. “It was fun tonight,” coach Jeff Erdmann said. “The (offensive) line the (defensive) line, it all starts there. In high school football, you run the ball well, good things happen.” The defense led by Brandt Berghuis, Nolan Behrens, Mike Lewis and David Morgan has been tough to get through, as well. In two games Rosemount has forced seven fumbles and come up with three interceptions. The Irish held Burnsville’s top quarterback, Cam Jones, to 175 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Overall Burnsville had 70 yards rushing. “The big thing for us is we stop the run first,” Erdmann said. “We put a lot of pressure on him and his eyes came down to the rush instead of looking downfield.”

The Irish will play host to upstart 2-0 Prior Lake team on Sept. 17. The Blaze will welcome the 0-2 Bloomington Kennedy football team on Sept. 17.

Wildcats bounce back

Eagan Wildcats moved to .500 with a 15-13 victory against Bloomington Kennedy on Sept. 10. Eagan got the victory thanks to a six-yard touchdown run by Michael Busch, a two-yard touchdown run by Bob Rada and a 28-yard field goal by Colin Byers. The Wildcats will travel to the 0-2 Eastview on Friday. The Wildcats are 2-12 all time against Eastview with its last win coming in 2000. Last year Eagan lost 2725. It was the closest contest between the two teams since 2005 when Eastview won in overtime.

team. The Lightning hasn’t lost two consecutive games since 2006. This year the team started with losses to Lakeville North 3-0, and Eden Prairie 21-7, scoring just seven points in the two games. Although, losing to Eden Prairie isn’t anything new. The loss moves the team’s all-time record against topranked Eden Prairie to 0-15. It was one of the closest games between the two teams. Austin Hebig caught a 36-yard pass from Ryan Reger for the team’s touchdown Eastview will get a chance to put a number in the win column on Sept. 17 when Eagan comes to town.

ball team is looking to dust itself off after starting the season with two disappointing losses. After losing to new South Suburban Conference rival Prior Lake 17-14 in overtime in the season opener, Apple Valley jumped out to a 16-0 lead against Lakeville North in game two only to give up 27 unanswered points. Tom Obarski kicked two field goals, Steve Maxwell scored off a five-yard run, and Alex Johnson scored off a 38-yard interception return. Apple Valley will play host on Sept. 17 to Lakeville South, which started the season 1-1. Last year Apple Valley lost 47-0 to South.

Weekend tournaments dominate volleyball conversation by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Volleyball teams can find their groove, generate significant buzz, and bring home a shiny trophy all over the course of one weekend. It seems like every Saturday there’s a tournament that goes a long way in deciding who has the best high school team in Minnesota. Lakeville North is making an early run at that distinction. The Panthers won the Southwest Minnesota Challenge in Marshall last weekend beating Wayzata, Minneota and Le SueurHenderson in the finals. The Panthers haven’t lost a game all year.

Rivalries continue to college Sometimes the same person you competed against in high school on Friday night is the same one you line up against Saturday afternoon a few years later. Eastview graduate Matt Garin started at defensive end for the Minnesota Golden Gophers last weekend against South Dakota. He saw a familiar face on the other side in Rosemount graduate Tom Compton, who plays left tackle for South Dakota. Compton got the win this time around. Unless you were camping for the weekend or don’t pay any attention to sports (yet, still read the sports section), you know that South Dakota beat Minnesota.

Another potential matchup was derailed by injury. Apple Valley graduate Varmah Sonie starts for University of Northern Iowa at cornerback. Last weekend he had four tackles against North Dakota State. His rival from Rosemount, wide receiver Zach Vraa, now with the Bisons, watched from the sidelines with a broken collarbone.

Apple Valley wins Eagles put out Blaze City OKs preliminary budget and tax levy Aerie Challenge For most Apple Valley homeowners, by Andy Rogers

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Apple Valley volleyball team won its own Aerie Challenge for the third year in a row last weekend, defeating St. Francis, Renville County West, Caledonia and Lakeville South in the process. The buzz surrounding the team is a little louder this time around as the team earned a No. 4 ranking in the volleyball coaches association poll the past week. Beating Lakeville South, another top-10 team in Class 3A, was probably the Eagles’ biggest win of the season. “They’re well coached and came ready to play,� coach Gordy Hagert said. “We knew this match could go either way. “ Apple Valley came back from an early deficit to win, 25-22, 25-15. “The rematch in a few weeks should be great,� Hagert said. The team’s first hit of each match set the tone for the rest of the game. “Our serving was as good as it’s been and we feel that had an impact on the outcome,� Hagert said. “Their hitters also made our defensive specialist step and play hard. ... It was a real team effort.� The team began play this week in the South Suburban Conference, which features several top 10 teams in the state. “We have to respect every team we play,� Hagert said. “They want to win as much as we do and we expect everyone to bring their best every night.� Apple Valley’s plan is to get a top-four seed in Section 3AAA tourney, which will feature other top 10 teams such as Lakeville South, Eastview, Lakeville North and Bloomington Jefferson.

be in the mix as well. “We have the talent to compete at the highest levels, but have a tough conference and section to make it to the state meet,� he said. Both Erik Rosvold and Ken Hoffman were track honor roll runners and allconference honorable mention last season. David Salter, Nick Oelke and Dan Spika “committed to a strong summer running program and opened the season ahead of last year’s best times,� coach Tom Sharp said. The team finished sixth at the Bauman-Rovn Invitational at Hopkins on Sept. 10. Rosvold was sixth across the finish line and Hoffman finished 11th.

city taxes will stay the same in 2011 by Andrew Miller

Most Apple Valley residents will see no increase in the city portion of their tax bills in 2011.

Eagan swimming

Eagan swimmers Erica Bucki and Nicole Stevens both have fast times in mind for the season. “They still have some work to do to achieve their goals, but they are well on their way,� coach Steve VanDyne said. “I think both are capable of being in the top eight at state.� Last year, Bucki finished 11th at state in the individual medley and 13th in the 500-yard freestyle. Stevens was seventh best in the 100 breaststroke. The Wildcats will also have the help of Sondra Tanji, Maddy Hayes, Paige Peton, Sammy Jagler, MacKenzie Heller and Sonja Hedblom on the swim team this season. “I think we can be towards the top in the South Suburban conference,� VanDyne said. “We should have a few records that will fall this year.� Although the team doesn’t have much depth in the freestyle events, the strokes along with the individual medley should keep them in contention.

The preliminary budget and levy sets the maximum levy for 2011; the levy may decrease, but not increase, before adoption of the final budget and levy in December. Dakota County will mail tax notices, which include city tax information, to homeowners in November. A Truth in Taxation hearing, at which residents can ask council members and city staff about the 2011 budget and levy, is scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9, as part of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting at the Apple Valley Municipal Center.

grams, up 54 from a year ago. “But this is down 64 from projections last spring.� said Elementary Education Director Julie Olson. While this is nearly a negligible number, people are noticing the effects of $15 million in budget adjustments that are magnifying that increase. “We’re seeing an increase of a little over a student per classroom,� Olson said, referencing an increasing student-to-teacher ratio. “This is up 1.5 students per classroom over last year.� The district’s full-time kindergarten matriculation numbers are essentially level when compared to last year. Olson said 53 percent of the kindergartners have a full-day experience. There are 45 full-day kindergarten programs.

Clark has campaigned for bringing integrity to the office, while Blakely’s campaign hasn’t directly referred to the incident at all. In August, Blakely won 40 percent of the vote, knocking out candidate Stephen Baker, who had about 29 percent of the votes. The race was tight between Baker and Clark, who emerged as Blakely’s final challenger with 31 percent of votes cast. The First Judicial District includes Dakota, Carver, Goodhue, Le Sueur, McLeod, Scott and Sibley counties. The bar association stated the poll is unbiased and is not an endorsement of any candidate. According to the bar association, it has long polled its members on judicial elections to collect and make available to voters additional information when they consider who to vote for in November. In all other contested judicial races which indicated an incumbent, the incumbent won the bar association members’ votes by a 74 to 95 percent margin.

A Dakota County judge suspended for misconduct in 2009 won the August primary, but a new poll shows Minnesota lawyers strongly support his opponent. First Judicial District Judge Timothy Blakely earned just 13 out of 46 votes cast by Minnesota lawyers in a Minnesota Bar Association poll conducted between Aug. 19 and Sept. 2. Blakely’s challenger, prosecuting attorney Larry Clark, easily won the poll with 33 votes, a 72 percent margin. Last year, Blakely was publicly reprimanded and suspended for six months by the Minnesota Supreme Court for referring mediation clients to his divorce lawyer in exchange for a $63,500 discount on his legal bills. In taking the action, the Supreme Court declined the Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards’ recommendation to remove Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@ frontiernet.net. Blakely from office.

mentary in Apple Valley and Glacier Hills Elementary in Eagan. Magnet Schools of Minnesota will present all three schools with merit awards next month. The organization recognized only six schools in the entire state, Olson said. The awards look at a number of factors, including student achievement and innovative teaching strategies, said Shane Schmeichel, the district’s magnet school specialist. He said that beyond the awards the organization also has magnet school professionals who provide evaluative feedback of each school. To top it off, 100 more students are attending the magnet schools this year over last, Olson said. Of the 654 students, 500 are from within the district and 140 are open-enrolled from other districts.

Preliminary enrollment numbers in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district suggest a small increase over last school year, though below projections for the elementary realm, according to district officials. The district has 8,670 students in its high school programs, 200 above projections, said secondary education director Mark Parr at a school board meeting Monday night. The middle schools opened with 5,970 students, he said, “which appears to be 50 above projections.� The elementary level also saw Magnet accolades an increase, but with a much A bright spot for the district is smaller margin.
