Sheriff’s Web domain name purchase raises questions Bellows: ‘I’m sorry I did it’ by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Last June, months before Apple Valley Police Sgt. Mitch Scott announced he was running for Dakota County sheriff, his opponent, Dave Bellows, purchased the domain name mitchscottforsheriff.com. Bellows, who was appointed Dakota County

sheriff by county commissioners after the surprise retirement of former Sheriff Don Gudmundson in February, said he regrets the purchase. He said he did it to find out if Scott was going to run against him for the sheriff position. “I heard he was thinking of running, and this was my way of determining if he was going to run or not,� Bellows said, adding, “If someone goes to use it,

you’re notified.� Bellows emphasized that he later released the site for sale. But Scott said Bellows’ action puts into question his opponent’s entire campaign message, which is, according to Bellows’ campaign literature, “Accountable, ethical and experienced leadership.� Scott said Bellows’ actions don’t align with the way he’s portraying himself to voters.

Mitch Scott

“His behavior shows a lack of integrity,� Scott said. “We’re in law enforcement; ethics and integrity should be above all.� Bellows said while he re-

gretted the action, it didn’t stop Scott from getting a Web site (www.mitchscottforsheriff.org), and accused Scott of bringing up the issue to avoid talking about qualifications. “This comes back to he doesn’t want to argue qualifications; he’s never questioned my qualifications for sheriff, but I surely question his,� said Bellows, who was Gudmundson’s appointed chief deputy for 10 years, after 19 years under Gud-

mundson in Lakeville’s police department. Scott also questioned whether Bellows had something to do with a phone call made to cancel reservations at a restaurant where Scott’s campaign had arranged for his first fundraiser. “The American Legion called to confirm that I was going to cancel, and I told them I didn’t understand what they were talking about. They said they got a See Sheriff, 14A

‘Fasting with intent’ Christ Lutheran celebrates 100 years Local Muslims invite community members to Burnsville Mosque for food, fellowship during Ramadan

Public invited to special events by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It looked like a dinner at any church. Kids ran around, shouting excitedly as they played with friends. Their parents stood close by talking with one another, stealing an occasional glance to ensure their children weren’t getting too wild. Rows of tables were set and the smell of an impending meal permeated the confines of the religious building. But the parents (and some of the older kids) had not eaten since dawn; the women wore head scarves of varying colors and design. Muslims from around the area gather at the Burnsville Mosque for an iftar, a meal and prayer service designed to break the fast Muslims embark on each day during the holy month of Ramadan. Beginning this year on Aug. 12 and ending around Sept. 9, Ramadan serves as Islam’s holiest month.

Area Muslims gathered for an iftar at the Burnsville Mosque on Highway 13. An iftar is a meal that breaks the day-long fast each evening during the holy month of Ramadan. “It is a time to reflect and ponder,� said Taslima Khaled of Prior Lake, discussing the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. “It is a time to realize what the meaning of life is in terms of where you’re headed and what you’re doing.� See Ramadan, 14A

Florence O’Brien has been a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Eagan since 1919, nine years after it was founded. “Almost 91 years,� she said. O’Brien was baptized, confirmed and married at the church, as were her three children and four of her six grandchildren. Her seven great-grandchildren have also been baptized there. As its longest-serving member, O’Brien said she is excited to help Christ Lutheran celebrate its 100-year anniversary this year. “I think we have lots to be thankful for,� she said. “I have all good memories. All the people that came and went during my 90 years, I can’t say a bad word about anybody.� Christ Lutheran was founded in 1910 as a daughter congregation to Trinity Lone Oak Church, the oldest continuing church in Eagan, which was established in 1880. Located on Diffley Road about five miles from Trin-

ity Lone Oak, Christ Lutheran was built to make it easier for members who couldn’t easily traverse several miles on dirt roads. O’Brien remembers the original church as a small wooden building next to a one-room schoolhouse, where she attended school through seventh grade. That building and schoolhouse were sold and moved to Shakopee in 1958. A new church was built in 1959, with the current fellowship hall serving as the sanctuary until an addition was built in 1979. Other additions to the church include a regular Anuak worship service for the Sudanese community – the first of its kind in the south metro – which began in 2003. The church’s congregation grew rapidly in the late 1970s and then began to decline a bit, and has now essentially stabilized at about 250 members, said Pastor Don Schmiege. Schmiege said he hopes the 100-year celebration will expose the church to new members. A Missouri Syn-

Burnhaven Library in Burnsville had 326,423 visitors last year. Beginning Sept. 18, Burnhaven users will have to make other plans. The library, located at 1101 W. County Road 42, will close for remodeling until late April of next year. “There will be a lot of people who will be missing us, I’m afraid,� said Nancy Wisser, a Dakota County library manager who oversees the locations in Burnsville, Rosemount and Hastings. The Burnsville project, estimated at $1.55 million, will include a computer lab, a redesigned front entry, a new meeting room, energy-saving upgrades and improvements to the areas for teens and children. It also includes a new General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

Thomson Reuters will offer buyouts to 130 employees at its Eagan and Rochester, N.Y. locations in an effort to minimize or avoid layoffs. Scott Augustin, director of communications for Thomson Reuters, said the company’s goal is to focus on attrition and voluntary buyouts rather than job cuts. The buyouts are aimed at specific positions in Thomson’s legal editorial operations department, which creates U.S. legal content delivered in Westlaw, print, and CD-Rom formats. “The program is primarily for our publishing specialist and quality assurance employees, most of whom work in our Eagan and Rochester, N.Y., offices,� Augustin said. The buyouts are the result of a business decision by Thomson Reuters to complete the ramp-up of its global content centers Erin Johnson is at eagan. in Hyderabad, India and thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Manila, Philippines, he said. “As part of this initiative, we need to reduce employee numbers in specific roles in our U.S. legal editorial operations organization,� he said. The buyouts are currently underway and will go through the end of 2011, he said. “We continue to assess and align our organization, and will make adjustments as needed to ensure that we have the right people in the right places,� Augustin said. Last December the company laid off 120 workers from its Eagan campus due to a decline in its legal business. The majority of positions cut were also in the company’s legal editorial department, in roles ranging from administration, production and publishing to management. The layoffs were part of 240 job cuts the company made nationwide.

Ex-day care owner charged with criminal sexual conduct involving girl, 11 A 55-year-old man is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct involving an 11-year-old girl at his former day care in Burnsville. Kay Willard Brown, Eden Prairie, was charged Aug. 25 in Dakota County. The girl, now 13, told police in April

ďż˝

that the alleged incidents occurred in summer 2008. “We have no indications of any other child making any claims of being improperly touched,� County Attorney James Backstrom said. Brown and his wife owned the Kid Kare day care in Burnsville for about 11 years, Backstrom said. The business closed in January 2008, he said. According to the criminal complaint, the girl told police that on one occasion, with no one else present, Brown told her to do a handstand in the center of the room. When

she did, he allegedly wrapped her legs around his waist and began licking her stomach after pulling her shirt up to the middle of her chest. The girl told three friends at the day care about the incident, “but told them not to say anything because she was scared,� the complaint said. Another incident allegedly occurred in the day care’s “adult� bathroom. Brown allegedly pulled the girl into the bathroom, shut the door, had her bend over and licked her buttocks over her shorts. The girl told police she tried to push Brown away

and asked him to stop before breaking free of his grasp. She ran and told friends what had happened, after which Brown approached her and whispered, “This is our secret,� the complaint said. The girl told police “she was terrified, scared, and confused all at the same time and remembers it as the worst day of her life,� the complaint said. When contacted by police, Brown denied any inappropriate touching. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Family is the future for John Adamich’s Dodge of Burnsville dealership. Plans are in place to gradually transfer ownership of the 27-year-old business from John and his wife, Betty, to their sonin-law, Mark Saba, son, Greg, and their families. In the meantime, Adamich, 76, can still be found upstairs in his bird’s-eye office or working with a few longtime clients. “My dream is to pass it on to my children,� said Adamich, who lives in Apple Valley. “I could have retired from here five, six, seven years ago and never had to work again. But I don’t want to do that. I love what I do too much.� Adamich is still the boss, the Dodge dealer of record, but daily operations are overseen by Saba, the general manager, with a giant assist from Greg Adamich, the service manager. “Not to tell them what to do,� Adamich said of his role, “but to lead – and it’s working well.� Having started on the ground floor of the auto business, it’s no wonder Adamich wants to preserve and pass on what he’s built.

John Adamich is still president of Dodge of Burnsville, but his son-in-law, Mark Saba, is general manager, and his son, Greg, is service manager. Iron Range, Adamich trained to be a mechanic at what is now the Dunwoody College of Technology, graduating in the early 1950s. He started in the business as a mechanic with Northside Mercury in Minneapolis. In the 1960s he became a Northside salesman. From there he went to Prestige LincolnMercury in St. Louis Park, where he became general manager. In 1983 Adamich signed onto a Chrysler loan pro-

gram to buy a bankrupt and shuttered Chrysler dealership at 12101 Interstate-35W in north Burnsville. Nine years later, the payments were completed and the business was his. Saba, straight from college with a degree in computer technology, joined Dodge of Burnsville as a salesman in 1989. He was the top salesman within a year, and was promoted to sales manager before being named general See Dealership, 15A

The airline has an undisclosed buyer for the 273,000 square-foot, multi-story office building, said Jeff Minea, a broker at Cushman Cushman & Wakefield in Eden Prairie, who is helping market the property. Minea would not provide

details other than to say the office building is currently under contract. The vacant building at 2700 Lone Oak Parkway sits on 72.2 acres and has been on the market since June 2009. The entire property is being advertised for $33 million. How a potential buyer would affect the city of Eagan depends on the buyer and what the planned use would be, Eagan Communications Director Tom Garrison said. “We knew it would and should be an attractive building to potential buyers,� Garrison

said, noting the property’s close proximity to I-494. The building was built in 1985 and housed about 1,000 Northwest Airlines employees prior to the merger with Delta two years ago. The requested subdivision, which would break the property into the headquarters building and three separate land parcels, would allow Delta to sell the building and undeveloped land separately, Minea said. “In the future, one might anticipate they may further subdivide the remaining property, depending on the poten-

tial buyer or buyers,� Garrison said. The request to subdivide the property went before the Eagan Planning Commission in June. The plan, which had a hearing on Aug. 24, must still be approved by the City Council. The proposal is expected to go before the council on Sept. 21. Representatives at Delta Airlines declined to comment. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Dakota County Retirement of CAP Agency director Nash to lead state’s National Guard Appointed by governor, Nash will leave Red Bulls post won’t stop local war on poverty by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Bradpiece plans for funding challenges THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty� will continue in Dakota County, even as one 40-year veteran soldier takes a welldeserved retirement. CAP Agency Executive Director Mary Sullivan has retired, passing the torch of providing programs for the poor to a St. Paul resident, originally from El Salvador, who has a passion for helping others. Carolina Bradpiece, 45, is the new executive director of the Community Action Programs Agency. Bradpiece is a woman with a history of always being ahead of the curve. Bradpiece was reading as a toddler, finished first grade when she was 4, and graduated high school with honors by age 15. She completed a year of

Bradpiece came to the CAP, started 45 years ago in response to Johnson’s declared war on poverty, with over 20 years of nonprofit experience, including the Girl Scouts and president and CEO of Big Brothers, Big Sisters. One of her primary goals since her Aug. 2 start date has been developing plans

for how the organization will manage increasing needs amidst economic challenges. Historically, CAP has a strong record of providing programs such as the school readiness program Head Start, emergency services for people in need and nutrition programs for seniors, lowincome families and children. Bradpiece is encouraging more public education about the agency, which serves Dakota, Scott and Carver counties, as well as a concerted effort to attract more partners interested in helping to continue those programs. She added that Sullivan demonstrated tenacity and built a legacy she intends to by Laura Adelmann continue.

Nick Francis said. In addition, t h ro u g h out this Labor Day weekend, patrol officers statewide will increase impaired-driving patrols.

As the first season of the South Suburban Conference opens, several volleyball teams will also see new head coaches. Eagan, Burnsville, Apple Valley and Rosemount all have someone new coaching their teams in 2010, although they are all familiar with the programs they’ve inherited. “I am surprised that there has been so much turnover in the past couple of years, but with that brings a new dimension to the conference,” Lakeville South head coach Jennifer Nelson said. The new coaches aren’t new to volleyball. They were either junior varsity or assistant coaches with their teams last year, or they work in the club volleyball ranks. A new coach doesn’t mean an easy win for the veteran coaches. “It doesn’t matter who we go up and face, everybody is seasoned, and nobody should be taken lightly,” Nelson said.

Rosemount Smokey Vitek has run the Rosemount junior program for the past five years and was the junior varsity coach at Rosemount for the past four years. Nothing about Rosemount volleyball is new to Vitek. Vitek knows the difference between a good team and a great team, and only great teams can succeed in a conference like the South Suburban. “I focus on team strategies,” Vitek said. “For a team to be successful you need talent and competitive drive, but also you need everyone on the team to understand and execute their role.” Vitek says it takes a whole team to be great, not just two or three great players. But they help. The Irish have three experienced and competitive seniors returning to the floor this season. Ali Fromme is a strong outside hitter with a very driven and focused court presence, Vitek said. “Zoe Peterson has worked very hard in the offseason and is hitting strong and playing great backrow,” Vitek said. “Elaine Warner returns faster and more ex-

perienced.” Warner led the Lake Conference in individual blocks in 2009. They will join returning juniors Mikaela Sullivan, Natalie Busher and Jaclyn D’Amico. “All three have built on their varsity experience through strong off-season efforts to build on strengths and improve their weaknesses,” Vitek said. Cassie Hansen is ready to take on the setter role, and Mikaela Sullivan is also returning. Vitek feels the team will have strong defensive presence with more experience than most of its competitors, although the Irish won’t be as tall as some other teams.

Apple Valley Gordy Hagert may be new at head coaching duties this season for the Eagles, but this is his seventh year in the volleyball program at Apple Valley. He coached 9A and junior varsity and he’s been a varsity assistant. “I come from the Walt Weaver (longtime coach at Apple Valley) school of volleyball,” Hagert said. “Fundamentals, repeat as needed.” Hagert has a familiar roster, as well. All 11 players on the varsity roster saw playing time last season. “We’ll look to several returning senior starters for on-court and off-court leadership,” Hagert said. Mel Racz and Taylor Voss, both senior captains, are joined by junior captain Aly Johnson. All three saw substantial playing time last year as did juniors Maren Loe and Natalee Johnson. Sophomores Shanotta Bawek and Rachel Voss round out the projected starting rotation. Racz has been on varsity for four years, as has Johnson. Bawek has been a varsity player since eighth grade. “We bring experience and a lot of natural ability,” Hagert said. “We’re also flexible. Many of our players have extensive play at several positions so we should be able to adapt. We take the long view of our season. We’ll continue to build our team with a goal of peaking at tournament time.”

four times, but they haven’t been back since 2006. As the new head coach, Kissner’s goal is to coach a team that thrives on competition and learns the strengths and weaknesses of its opponents throughout a match. He wants to see improvement every match and minimize unforced errors. Several of Eagan’s star players have graduated off last year’s team, but a number of experienced volleyball players are ready to take the reins. Sarah Linder, Katie Kvas, Kyndra Beekman and Cassie Weinberg are all back on the court ready to compete. “For this team to accomplish our goals, we will have to manage our emotions throughout the swings of momentum that occur within a volleyball match,” Kissner said.

coach Kim Hook. She’s been an assistant for the past four years and coaches for the Northern Lights club volleyball program. She’s been the coach for five members of the varsity team and from the B-team down, she’s coached 97 percent of the players. “It’s exciting to get to grow with them as they become mature young volleyball players and women,” Hook said. She’s taking over a team that’s coming off its best season in decades. Last season the girls took home the bronze medal at the Class AAA state tournament. “Anybody who has had the taste of the Xcel, all they want to do is get back there,” Hook said. Despite losing many of their star players to graduation such as Tori Dixon and Abby Olson, the team feels it has a decent shot at reaching its goal. “I think they underestimated how good they’re going to be,” Hook said. “It’s absolutely within possibility to get back there again. They’re willing to put in that time and effort. ... They really make the practices harder than the games.” The Blaze defeated Woodbury 25-18, 25-23, 2025, 18-25, 15-9 on Aug. 31. Hook’s philosophy in volleyball is to never let a ball drop and let the other team make the mistakes and she feels Burnsville has caught on to that ideal quickly. Hook has three returning players – setter Alli Butler, outside hitter Megan Scholl and Libero Camille Benson – who were instrumental in getting Burnsville to the state tournament last season. “They’re all very relaxed and supportive,” Hook said. Outside hitter Laura Beckman has taken over the role as the attacker. She had 26 kills against Woodbury. And Kailey Olson helps Benson out as a defensive specialist. Burnsville also has two ninth graders starting this year in middle hitter Alyssa Muelken and outside hitter Lauren Randall. “They certainly don’t play like ninth graders,” Hook said.

New head coach Joseph Kissner is well-known around the Eagan volleyball world. He’s been with the program for nine years. “I emphasize having fun through competition and participating in sports both mentally and physically,” Kissner said. Even though Eagan is in a new conference this season, he’s well aware of what many of the teams bring to the court every game. “Several programs have established themselves as perennial favorites. I would include Lakeville North and Eastview on this list,” Kissner said. Eagan has been there, Burnsville The players for the Blaze too.

lead and supporting roles. When the season opened up, Burnsville had seven returning players including captains Matthew Knutson, Casey Powell and Zach Zimmerman. “We’re starting to jell a little bit,” Toranza said. “I’m getting a good vibe from the kids.” Burnsville will also have several talented sophomores this season. “They played at the C1 summer league, which is the highest level in traveling soccer,” Toranza said. “They are a very disciplined team. We have other kids coming up that are very skilled. It’s just a matter of time.” Toranza feels if the team has a .500 record this season that it will have done pretty well. “We have a pretty tough conference,” Toranza said. “You never can tell until you play the season out.” He feels the team has good ball handlers and every single player is capable of scoring for Burnsville. “It’s just a matter of working together,” Toranza said. The trouble is the conference includes Apple Valley, Eagan, Bloomington Jefferson and Prior Lake, four top-10 teams in the state. “It’s a really, really tough schedule,” Toranza said. “We have something like six home games and 13 games on the road. “I just want to come in and be competitive. I don’t want to get beat up and have them lose the fun of it.”

Bill Toranza wants to put Burnsville boys soccer back on the map. The Blaze have played at the state tournament seven times, winning a state title four times, but few current students remember those days. Burnsville hasn’t played at state since 2005. Toranza, the head coach, is hoping to build on the team’s 9-63 record for last year. For starters, Toranza was impressed with the number of athletes who tried out for soccer in August, which was in the 80s. “It was more than usual, which was nice,” Toranza said. “The past few years were pretty lean, which is too bad. In the late 1980s, early ’90s, Burnsville was going to state all the time. Hopefully, we’ll get it back there.” This is the first year as head coach at Burnsville for Toranza. He was the junior varsity coach in 2009, and he was also a soccer coach at Rosemount from 19952004. He took some time off because it became too hard to work full time, coach and raise two young children. Now that his children are older, Toranza got back into coaching with the blessing of his employer. “Thankfully, my work at Northern Tool and Equipment allows the opportunity to do this,” Toranza said. “It’s working out great. I’ve always had a lot of love for Burnsville. I live here. I played here.” Rogers is The Blaze are a work in prog- Andy ress with many underclassmen in andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Leading the way is Joe Bjorklund, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound lineman who has been generating interest from several Division I schools. He has two familiar faces on the line with him this season. Ryan Link and Joe Malicki both started on the offensive line the past two seasons. This is good news for Andrew Hausmann, the team’s leading rusher in 2009. He averaged about eight yards per carry last season. Nick Liska is also back after carrying a big load at running back a year ago as well. The one-two punch hopes to keep Rosemount’s running game to at least 200 yards per game again this season. Kevin Larson will be the one handing off to Liska and Hausmann and throwing when needed after starting the last seven games at quarterback in 2009. Rosemount’s defense was a big reason behind the team’s run to the section finals last year. The Irish held teams to an average of 11 points per game in 2009, which was secondlowest in the Lake Conference behind Eden Prairie. Several returning defenders remember what it took to keep their opponents out of the end zone. Brandt Berghuis and Mike Lewis are both back at defensive tackle. They’ll take on blockers while returning linebackers Matt Larson and Nolan Behrens find someone to tackle. If someone gets past them, that’s where returning defensive backs Tony Prostrollo and Colton Crow come in.

The Rosemount High School football team is ready for whatever the schedule has in store this year. This year the team will have the new South Suburban Conference to contend with. Although it has a new name, it’s very similar to the Lake Conference. The team will travel to familiar foe Burnsville on Sept. 10 and play its newest conference rival Prior Lake on Sept. 17 at home. The Irish will play Lakeville South, who according to Rosemount coach Jeff Erdmann are the conference favorites, on Oct. 1 and Eastview on Oct. 15, both at home. “We are excited about the challenges we will face each week in the South Suburban Conference,” Erdmann said. “We hope to be a hard working unit that plays as a team and represents ourselves well every night.” In the past four years, Rosemount has played in the Class 5A state semifinals twice and nearly qualified for state again last season. Last season, the Irish had one of the best wide receivers in the state on the team in Zach Vraa. He was the go-to playmaker on the team that went 7-4 and was the runner-up in Section 3-5A. With Vraa now graduated, the dynamic of the Irish will likely evolve into a familiar form. The Irish have been a running team in the past and in the immediate future it looks like they’re going to keep on running. The strength of Rosemount’s offense lies in its offensive line.

Nice national poll and multimillion-dollar Minnesota loss by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Minnesota did well in one and terribly in another major national education news story last week. Ideas developed here were strongly endorsed in a highly respected national poll on public attitudes toward education. Minnesota did not receive a cent of the more than $3 billion awarded by the U.S. Department of Education to nine states and the District of Columbia, as part of its “Race to the Top” (RTT) initiative. The Gallup organization and Phi Delta Kappa, a national education group, did the survey. This annual poll, done for the last 42 years, traditionally is released just before the start of school. It surveyed more than 1,000 adults around the country. The public displayed widespread support

for many ideas that began or have been expanded in Minnesota. For example: • Seventy-three percent of respondents said that a teacher’s salary should be either “very closely tied” (19 percent) or “somewhat closely tied” (54 percent) to his/ her students’ achievement. This is the central idea behind Minnesota’s “Q-Comp” legislation, which says improving students’ achievement is part, not all, of what determines a teacher’s salary. • Sixty-eight percent of respondents favor the idea of charter public schools (developed first in Minnesota). Support nationally has increased steadily from 42 percent in 2000 and 49 percent in 2005.

There’s a lot more in the poll, which can be reviewed for free at www.pdkintl.org/kappan/poll. htm. Now, the $3 billion-plus total of awards: Winners were Massachusetts ($250 million), New York ($700 million), Hawaii ($75 million), Florida ($700 million), Rhode Island ($75 million), District of Columbia ($75 million), Maryland ($250 million), Georgia ($400 million), North Carolina ($400 million), and Ohio ($400 million). The amount of the award was tied to a successful application and the number of K-12 students in a state. Given our size, Minnesota would have received about $250 million if we had been successful. Sadly, Minnesota did not even compete in the just completed second round of RTT applications.

The Minnesota Department of Education decided not to apply after the Pawlenty administration and state Legislature could not agree on ways to improve education. Minnesota applied in the first round of “Race to the Top” and lost. Tennessee and Delaware won hundreds of millions of dollars in that first round. Some Minnesota local districts and their teachers’ unions, along with a number of Minnesota charter public schools, supported the first round application (as I had). But statewide teachers’ union Education Minnesota sent a letter critical of Minnesota’s application to the U.S. Secretary of Education. The lack of support from some teacher groups, limited “alternative routes into teaching” that other states have developed and found useful, and other

problems with the application, were cited in the federal review of our first round application. Several states, including the winners in Massachusetts and New York, passed reform legislation earlier this year, despite opposition from statewide teacher unions. Looking back is informative. But we need to look forward. There’s still plenty to be proud of in Minnesota public schools. But we need more openness to new ideas, and more collaboration, if we are to make progress with youngsters.

To the editor: Clint Hooppaw – always there, always willing to lend a hand. I was best man in Hooppaw’s wedding. I went to college, high school and junior high with Hooppaw. It’s safe to say that I’ve know him longer than any other resident of Apple Valley has known him. I can honestly say without hyperbole that Hooppaw is the most genuine, honest and hardworking person I have ever had the honor to know. Hooppaw truly cares about his neighbors and the city of Apple Valley. He is always the first one to help out wherever help is needed, whether it is leading a community fundraiser, volunteering for a service project, or simply lending a helping hand to a neighbor. I have seen firsthand the work that he does and the enthusiasm with which he does it. It is truly amazing, and I wish I had his spark and zest for community service. Hooppaw does all of these things because he chooses to live, work, play and raise his family in Apple Valley, and wants the community to remain a great place for his daughter to grow up in. Hooppaw is also very tuned in to what is happening in the local area — a perspective that is possible because of his level of involvement in the local community. Being a resident of this city myself, I was delighted to hear that Hooppaw had decided to run for Apple Valley City Council. This position is an excellent match for Hooppaw’s personal and professional skills. Hooppaw has already done a great deal to make Apple Valley a better place to live. As a City Council member, he could accomEditor’s note: The writer is plish even more. a former state representative I’d encourage you to vote To the editor: As a young child I re- from Apple Valley. for a dedicated leader for

Masin’s breadth of vision

the years. State Rep. Phil Sterner feels the same way. He knows that what’s good for the zoo is good for our community and our state. He’s been the strongest advocate for the zoo that we’ve had at the state Capitol in decades. Just a few weeks ago, he joined Gov. Tim Pawlenty, community and business leaders, and zoo supporters to celebrate a new phased-in expansion that will raise the zoo’s profile even higher. That expansion – a great example of the power of a strong private/public partnership – was made possible because of Sterner’s bipartisan work to gather support for the bonding bill he authored that will take the zoo to the next level. He was such a strong advocate because he knows the project will not only enhance the zoo for visitors, but because it will also bring good new jobs to our area and new tourism dollars to Dakota County. On a personal note, I’ve known Phil for more than 30 years, and what you see is what you get – a genuinely nice guy who works hard, listens first, votes his district and leaves no stone unturned if it means making things better for residents in the community he serves.

Senate are obviously being run by people who either have no idea what stimulates an economy or are not worried about what increasing government spending, regulation, debt and unfunded entitlements do to put the clamps on economic growth. We in Dakota County, Minnesota and the United States are being led by people who do not seem to understand that only private businesses can create the wealth required to grow an economy. We absolutely have to get government spending under control. We have to reduce taxes and cut back on stifling regulations of businesses. Bills understands this and knows that if we don’t reduce government spending our economy will never recover. Working for over 15 years in a high school classroom also gives Bills the inside knowledge of public school needs. The teachers union’s endorsement of Bills’ opponent reinforces the obvious, that the union is more interested in supporting its parent Democratic Party than in supporting a candidate who knows education and what it takes to make the economy grow. If the economy doesn’t grow there will be less and less money available for education. The economy will only grow when we put people in office who realize that millions of citizens have much more knowledge about what it takes to run a business than a few anointed politicians and bureaucrats. As Dennis Prager rightly says, “The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.” Kurt Bills understands this and is the right person at the right time to represent District 37B. I’m one of a sizable number of teachers who, despite what our union says, understand that the only way to move our economy forward is to have less government involvement, not more, in our lives, especially the free marketeers who create prosperity for all of us. Many other educators also support Bills in his bid for the House of Representatives.

To the editor: Because she’s a business person, state Rep. Sandra Masin is aware of the impact of the current economy on medium- and low-income people in the south-metro area. She knows that any extra money people have goes immediately into feeding, clothing and sheltering their families and themselves. So she has information on her website at www.masin4rep. org about property tax refunds and the Lifeline and Link-Up programs, to provide assistance to families under financial stress. As somebody who is familiar with the challenges of raising a family on a limited budget, Masin works to give struggling families an opportunity to achieve success in an economy that is still beset with the challenges of neglect of infrastructure and slow economic development. Masin has worked well with Mike Obermueller and Jim Carlson, and other colleagues within her party, as well as across the aisle. Her vision has her working to keep property taxes low, at the same time as we increase jobs in our area and the maintenance of bridges, roads, transit, education ALAN KOHLS and other programs which Apple Valley themselves are a stimulus to the economy. I like Masin’s breadth of vision, and will support her in her re-election.

Thisweekend Blues concert kicks off Lakeville Art Festival Aretha Franklin-esque vocalist Sofie Reed plays the Lakeville Area Arts Center stage on Sept. 17 by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Before the weekend-long exhibition of fine art begins, there will be blues. This year’s Lakeville Art Festival kicks off with an evening of blues and folk music. Vocalist/harmonica player Sofie Reed is set to perform on the Lakeville Area Arts Center’s stage on Friday, Sept. 17, as the opening event to the annual festival, which runs through Sept. 19. The concert is a homecoming show of sorts for Reed, a former Minneapolis resident who worked as a backup singer for Sheila Charles, daughter of Ray Charles, and did session work at Prince’s Paisley Park Studios during her stay in the Twin Cities from 1987 to 2000. A vocalist whose style has drawn comparisons to Aretha Franklin, Reed de-

veloped a taste for blues and jazz in an unlikely place – her native Sweden. While she was growing up in her hometown of Ludvika, Reed’s music-aficionado parents would play jazz into the night. “My mother had this old radio playing jazz out of it every night before going to bed,� said Reed. “That really moved me a lot.� Looking to break into the American music business, Reed said she chose Minneapolis as her destination because of its “Minnesota nice� reputation. “My dream as a teenager was to go to America, and it sounded like Minneapolis was a pretty safe area,� said Reed, now a Colorado resident. Her debut album, “Baby Boo Got Gone,� became a top seller in the blues-folk category on CDBaby.com. Reed will be joined at the Lakeville concert by her

Band on a stick

The Burnsville High School marching band performed at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 27 as part of the fair’s daily parade and high school marching band competition. The parade also included marching bands from Robbinsdale Cooper, Kingsland and South Washington County. The State Fair Parade works its way around the grounds at 2 p.m. each day of the fair.

Bradpiece/from 4A daycare program. “Day care was a real new program, and it was not so popular in some ways,� Sullivan said. She said she had some supporters, but detractors were strongly opposed, calling her a home wrecker because the program encouraged women to leave their children for work. When the agency expanded to license home daycares, more controversy arose.

Southbound Interstate 35W noise wall construction in Burnsville begins Sept. 7 Motorists and local residents may encounter work crews in the area of Interstate 35W between Burnsville Parkway and McAndrews Road beginning Tuesday, Sept. 7, as crews construct a noise wall along the west side of the roadway.

“Then we were really in trouble – you don’t go into homes and tell people they can’t have poisons under their sink,� Sullivan said. Politics have proven to be a continuing challenge, with funding programs often in the middle of a legislative battle or campaign issue. Much of the organization’s budget, up from around $15 million in 2009 to about $17 million this year, thanks to Recovery Act funding, is derived from the state or federal government.

Over the next two years, Bradpiece said, she hopes to maintain CAP’s funding while working to keep and gain partners, individual and corporate, and implement a fundraising effort. She doesn’t plan to change CAP Agency programs or services, but is developing a business model through a phased strategic visioning process. “There is a need for an improved, strong business plan to lead us,� she said. Despite the economy, her

After the noise wall is complete, construction for the remainder of the project will begin in the summer of 2011, with all lanes open to traffic in summer 2011.

primary objective is to see that people who need help receive it. “It is very, very hard, and I’ve already had to witness turning someone away because we don’t have the additional resources,� Bradpiece said. “We need to identify resources so we can continue to be part of the family that lends a hand.� Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

necessary. While answering questions, each campaign leveled more allegations at the other. Bellows criticized Scott for violating Lakeville’s ordinance by driving his truck on the sidewalk while installing campaign signs along 160th Street. “Is it OK to violate a law in the city of Lakeville that he’d be enforcing if it happened in the city of Apple Valley?� Bellows asked. Scott said he didn’t know about the ordinance and had permission from the Crystal Lake Golf Club to install the signs and drive in the area. Bellows said a property owner can’t grant permission to violate the law. Scott said he drove off the road because he had his family in the vehicle and there was no safe place to park that wouldn’t interfere with traffic. Scott again raised questions about Gudmundson’s early retirement, and county commissioners’ unanimous appointment of Bellows as sheriff. Scott continues to claim there was behind-thescenes maneuvering and the outcome is proof of a “good ol’ boy� mentality in the sheriff ’s department. He said Bellows’ actions in purchasing the domain name bolsters his argument. Bellows, Gudmundson and commissioners have repeatedly denied the allegations.

call from someone who said they were me and canceling the event,â€? Scott said. Bellows vehemently denied the allegation. “Absolutely not. That’s so beneath me. I wouldn’t do it ‌ and no one on my campaign would do it, either,â€? Bellows said. Bellows questioned why Scott is bringing the issues to light now when they happened months ago, and said there should be more emphasis on issues. He noted that experience is important in the sheriff ’s office, especially because of the economic climate and the tough budget decisions that must be made. Last year, Bellows said the department cut $450,000 from its budget, and this year must reduce it by another $500,000. “I know that budget inside and out,â€?Bellows said, adding, “I know where we can make cuts where it will impact service levels the least amount. â€? Scott said that he’s also had extensive experience with budgeting in his position with the Apple Valley Police Department, and said regardless of the size of the budget, the work is the same. “Whether you have 50 officers or 200 officers, the majority of your budget is dealing with salary and benefits,â€? he said, adding that the key to proper budget management is to continually reevaluate, re- Laura Adelmann is at dcedistructure or reorganize as tor@frontiernet.net.

Obituaries Lois (Gephart) Bates

Vera A. Krastins Passed away surrounded by those who loved her most on August 17, 2010. Born in Kuldiga, Latvia on February 13, 1911, she became a successful businesswoman, running her own cafe in Latvia. Despite the fact that she was forced to flee Latvia not once (for World War I), but twice (for World War II), she never lost her strong faith in the Lord or the twinkle in her eye. After surviving two years in Displaced Persons camps throughout Poland and Germany, she and her family were sponsored by the Lutheran Church, and they arrived in Riverdale, ND. In 1959 the family moved to St. Paul, where she was an active member of the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church. She made wonderful Latvian torts and knitted many beautiful items for family and friends. In 1991 she moved to a Latvian community in Rockville, MD where she lived life to the fullest until a stroke brought her back to Minnesota in 2006. Here she remained at the Augustana Health Care Center in Apple Valley, where she received outstanding care. Greeting her in heaven: husband, Augusts; and all three of her children, Rita, Gunars and Uldis. She will never be forgotten by daughter-in-law, Gretchen “Gooch� Krastins (Apple Valley) and Liga Krastins (Glen Burnie, MD); grandchildren Laura (John) Scott, Heather (Grant) Lambert and Chad Krastins; great-grandchildren Kyle and Adriana Scott; sister Biruta; and many loyal Latvian friends. Omite, there will never be another Grandmother as special as you. We love you and will miss you always. Memorial service 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 11th at Christus Victor Lutheran Church, 7510 Palomino Drive, Apple Valley. Memorials preferred to Augustana Health Care Center or Latvian Evang. Lutheran Church of Mpls. & St. Paul.

Age 92, of Northfield, passed away on August 28, 2010. Preceded in death by husband, Maynard; siblings, Ray, Lenny, Babe, Delores, Betty, Donna and Earl.

Healthy adherents refrain from eating or drinking while the sun is up and gather for an iftar every evening as a balance. Khaled was quick to assert this is not about “starving.� “It is fasting with intent,� she said. “The key element is to cleanse and purify your mind, soul and body.� Celebrating Ramadan is one of the five pillars, or required elements, of Islam, said Bahgat Elsagher of Burnsville, organizer of that city’s International Festival. The others are praying five times a day; a belief in one God and Mohammed as his prophet; the hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca, if you can afford it); and giving a percentage of your income to the poor. “You will be asked in the afterlife if you sustained those pillars,� Elsagher said. “We try to teach our kids to do the same thing.� Part of what makes Ramadan so important to Muslims is not only the aforementioned personal mind-body humility; it is, like Easter for Christians, a time when Islam’s wheels were put into motion. According to the teachings of Islam, it was during Ramadan that the angel Gabriel (acting as communications liaison for God) revealed the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Mohammed. And as with Easter, it is also a time for some old-fashioned reconciliation for your sins. “You purify yourself mentally so that all kinds of jealousy and greediness go away,� said Jamal Syed of Apple Valley, who attended an iftar Tuesday night with his wife and children. Another important as-

pect of Ramadan for the Burnsville Mosque attendees, at least, is the opportunity to empathize with the less fortunate. “It is about realizing how hunger feels and about how you are feeling without food,� Syed said. Muslims will often feed the poor during Ramadan as part of that process. Another practice during Ramadan, Elsagher said, is the giving of gifts. He and his wife will give presents to their kids once Ramadan concludes. His wife is a Minnesota-born Catholic and so when Ramadan, whose date changes based on the lunar calendar, falls around Christmastime, his kids are pleased.

Iftar: How it works As the sun sets, Muslims – and those non-Muslims looking to become more acquainted with the culture – kick off the iftar by consuming some dates and water. Then the loud, melodic call to prayer begins bellowing out of the speakers. The men move to the front of the prayer space and the women to the back, all kneeling, bowing and praying to the east toward Mecca. The separation of men and women is not meant as an act of subjugation. It is actually designed to instill modesty, said Afaf Elsagher, Bahgat’s sister. She said that while women cover their head and legs as a requirement, “facial covering is not typical Islam. That is only specific cultures.� The initial prayer is the opening of the Quran. The air grows more serious as the mosque is filled with the sentiment of humility before God. Once the prayer session concludes, everyone files

into line to be served buffetstyle a number of delectable Middle Eastern foods, including fattoush (a salad), hummus, chicken, and beef kofta, a type of meatloaf. Though they have not eaten all day, the people in line do not rush their way to the serving tables. Everything is orderly and everyone is cordial. Families, friends and neighbors chat while they enjoy their first solid meal all day. This can go on for an hour at least. What follows is a closing call to prayer.

Microcosm For proof that Islam, with more than a billion worldwide adherents, is a diverse religion, one need not go much further than the Burnsville Mosque. As people sat down at tables following the prayer, Muslims from the United States, Bangladesh, Bosnia (Eastern Europe), Somalia, Egypt and elsewhere found some equalization over a solid meal. Examples of this abounded. A woman named Yasmin attended the iftar with her husband and children. Yasmin is a Savage resident – her children attended District 191 schools. She moved here from Kenya 15 years ago and works at a bank in Burnsville. Yasmin was happy the Burnsville Mosque opened in 2008. “We used to drive to Bloomington or Columbia Heights,� she said. Ali, originally from Libya but who has lived here for decades, attended the iftar with the Elsaghers. Khaled herself moved to Minnesota 30 years ago from Bangladesh. “Faith is a commonality See Ramadan, 15A


15A oped an estate plan to pass Dodge of Burnsville along to the two younger families. Saba will become the dealer of record, Adamich said. “The considerations are to make certain that if the taxation gets too bad, there are insurance policies and things that are in place that can fix that,� he said. The plan is to turn over the business assets slowly, he said. “And hopefully, I can get them to think along the same lines with their kids. ... I didn’t work this hard to build this up to see it go out the window, is why I’m thinking like this.�

Library/from 1A The county received a $101,000 federal Energy Efficiency Block Grant for the project, he said. The library will get a new meeting room. The license center will move into the current meeting space just off the main entry. The addition of the license center accounts for most of what will be a 2,000-square-foot addition to the 23,000-squarefoot building, Saienga said. The county bookmobile, now stored at Burnhaven, will be relocated to the county’s transportation building in Rosemount, freeing up more room for functions such as book sorting, Saienga said. The project includes a 12-computer lab that will be open to the public when it’s not being used for computer classes, Wisser said. The library now teaches its popular computer classes by setting up a dozen laptops in

the meeting room, she said. The library has 19 computers for public use. “We have really heavy use of computers in our buildings,� she said. “An additional 12 computers will be a real help for us and the public.� The library’s small children’s area will be upgraded with a multitiered platform where kids can read by themselves or with their parents, Saienga said. An area for teens only is being added, he said. A drive-up book drop will be added. The library will also get three more automated drop-off bins, bringing the total to five. “That doesn’t mean a lot to the public, but it means a lot to

the staff,� Wisser said. “It will be more efficient for our use.� A new central service desk will bring reference librarians, children’s librarians and checkout staffers into one general location, which will be more efficient for library users, Wisser said. The Burnhaven remodeling follows similar library projects in Eagan and West St. Paul, she said. For more information on other Dakota County library locations, including in neighboring Eagan and Apple Valley, visit www.dakotacounty. us/library. There is also a Scott County library in Savage.

manager. “He just flowed along and became what I needed,� Adamich said. Saba joined the family by marrying the Adamich’s daughter, Dana, who worked at the dealership when he came to work there. “He asked if it was OK for him to ask my daughter out,� Adamich recalled with a smile. “I was really impressed with him asking that question.� Greg Adamich had a degree in economics and was working for the former First Bank System’s auto dealerJohn Gessner is at burnsville. ship loan division when it was discontinued, his father said. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

“He was never interested in the car business because of the huge hours involved,� John Adamich said. “But when you don’t have a job, he decided to come to work here rather than sit on his hands. And I think the more he hung around, the more he liked it.� Greg joined Dodge of Burnsville as information technology leader, and within a few years had volunteered to replace an outgoing service manager, a position he took in 1997. “You don’t have to be a mechanic to be a service manager,� John Adamich said. “You just have to be able to talk to people and get the paperwork done correctly.� He and Betty have devel-

that brings together diverse people,� Khaled said. Like Christianity, there is no single Islam. Two main sects of Islam – the shia and the sunni – dominate different regions of the earth, but at the Burnsville Mosque, Bahgat Elsager said, everyone comes together. The mosque receives food donations from different sponsors each night for the iftars. Some people will donate money toward the cost of the meals as well. During the week the numbers vary, but weekend nights see as many as 150 people, according to several mosque members. Amid the holiest of months for Muslims, the members of the Burnsville Mosque are hoping members of the community will join them for some fellowship and good (free) food. You do not have to be a Muslim. “Step into the mosque and get to know your neighbors,� said Khaled. “Come meet the parents of the kids your son or daughter are friends with in school.� E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. vehling@ecm-inc.com.
