Ye Old Memories at State Fair City OKs preliminary Fair favorite Ye Old Mill has been in the Keenan family for 97 years by John Gessner HISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After the heat and humidity that opened the State Fair, Marna Keenan could hardly believe the change in the air on Friday, Sept. 3. Chill winds gusting across the fairgrounds threatened to topple a canopy over the small patio behind Ye Old Mill. The patio is where members of the Keenan clan, which has owned the fair’s longest-running attraction since 1913, take a break from their day’s work. “Last year we had perfect weather every day,� Marna said, bundled up in a warm jacket and jeans. “Never will it happen again.� But fairgoers can always count on Ye Old Mill, thanks to John H. and Marna Keenan of Burnsville, who own Ye Old Mill Amusements Inc. The gentle, four-minute ride in miniature boats through Ye Old Mill’s water-filled concrete channel has become an iconic experience for generations of fairgoers – some of whom, it is claimed, stole

New school year brings new programs, opportunity Districts 191 and 196 tackle different issues while maintaining mission to educate the area’s children by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

vehicles, the proposed Duckwood overpass at 35E, retiring debt on the new Fire Safety Center or to buy down future tax levies. The proposed levy increase would result in a $27 increase in property taxes for the owner of an average-priced home in Eagan, which in 2011 will be $241,744. Last year, the average home in Eagan was valued at $256,958, down from $275,828 in 2009. The proposed 2011 budget also continues last year’s wage freeze for city employees and eliminates the vacant streets supervisor position, dividing those duties between two other existing staff members. While the city was able to negotiate better employee health insurance costs, which kept the increase lower than originally anticipated, they were still a factor in the budget increase, Hedges said. “The operating budget would have been close to a zero percent increase over 2010 were it not for an increase in health insurance costs,� he said. The proposed budget increase is still lower than the rate of inflation, officials said. The council will review the budget and levy proposal and take public comment at its Dec. 7 meeting, with final adoption scheduled for the Dec. 21 meeting

Eagan’s 2011 property tax levy will increase 2.8 percent over last year, mainly to compensate for uncollected taxes from a growing number of delinquent properties, officials said. The City Council approved Eagan’s preliminary 2011 budget and property tax levy at its Sept. 7 meeting. While the final budget and levy won’t be adopted until Dec. 21, the council approved a preliminary general fund budget of $27.7 million, an increase of a little more than half of one percent over last year. The total proposed levy is $28.2 million. The bulk of the 2.8 percent levy increase – 2 percent – will be used as an allowance for potential uncollected taxes from property value appeals and delinquencies, which are on the rise, according to the city. “It’s the council’s position that the 2 percent allowance is the prudent and conservative thing to do to prepare for this likely contingency,� said City Administrator Tom Hedges. Several other metro-area cities are also including allowances for uncollectable property taxes in their levies, including Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka and Woodbury, officials said. If the allowance remains untapped, the funds would be used to fund planned-for capital ex- Erin Johnson is at penditures, such as public safety thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Taxes headed back up in 2011

District 191 District 191 is undergoing a couple noticeable changes this year. First, there is the new gifted and talented magnet at Eagle Ridge Junior High School in Savage and the introduction of a grab-and-go breakfast program at Burnsville High School (BHS). BHS is participating with the University of Minnesota in a yearlong study to increase participation in the school breakfast program. Food service director Roxanne Williams said Burnsville has a fairly low on-site participation, about 6 or 7 percent, and the $11,400 grant from the U of M will allow BHS to offer a “breakfast-to-go� menu. “When kids get off the bus and come in the main entrance, they will be able to receive breakfast,� William said. The students will have access to a bag of milk or juice and a

Why the emphasis on break“We put it in the main entrance fast? According to Williams, high because we hope to capture a lot See Schools, 20A

In stark contrast with this year’s austerity measures, Burnsville will raise 2011 city taxes by up to 5.6 percent and avoid deep budget cuts next year. The City Council voted 3-2 on Sept. 7 to certify a maximum levy increase of 5.6 percent. That would raise an extra $1.48 million, for a total levy of $27.97 million. Final council approval of the 2011 budget and levy is expected Dec. 7. The levy can’t exceed 5.6 percent but can be reduced. A public “open house� on the budget will be held Nov. 30 at 4 p.m. at City Hall. Owners of properties already contributing to the tax base would shoulder 1.7 percent of a

5.6 percent increase, according to city staff. The rest would come from resumption of taxes flowing to the city following decertification of a tax-increment financing district in the Southcross Corporate Center (3.3 percent), and from taxes generated by new construction (.5 percent). City taxes on an average-valued home ($208,000) would rise by about $30 under a 5.6 percent increase. City taxes on the same property were cut by about $25 this year, the city says. The figures presume an 8.4 percent loss in property value from 2010 to 2011. City taxes on $1 million of commercial/industrial property would rise by about $455. A 5.7 See Taxes, 8A

Eagan group aims to help job seekers transition into new careers by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After a 19-year career at Macy’s department store, Connie Cobb, 45, of Eagan suddenly found herself unemployed. She was laid off in March from her job as a regional manager for service alterations and tailoring. With her industry dwindling in the recession, Cobb decided to seek a new career path. “I didn’t want to get stuck in a dying niche,� she said. Cobb said she now is pursuing a new career in processing or product development. However, changing career paths is much more difficult than she

expected. The most challenging part is being able to harness and identify marketable skills, Cobb said. After months of searching, Cobb realized she needed help. So she decided to reach out to a job transition group at her church, Easter Lutheran in Eagan. Although the group is housed at the church, it is secular, free of charge and open to the public. Cobb, one of eight volunteers who help organize the meetings, said the group offers support and has helped her stay motivated. “There’s no room for a pity party,� she said. Cobb said the group has helped

her learn new skills such as how to effectively search online, something that was previously foreign to her. “My system in the past was to apply, and I’d get the job,� she said. “I hadn’t used the Internet for a job hunt before.� The group was founded in 2008 by Catherine Byers Breet, owner and founder of Arbez, an Eaganbased career counseling firm that specializes in career transitioning. “The goal is to help people get out and connected, and educate, empower and inspire them,� Byers Breet said. Since its formation two years ago, it has accumulated 562 memSee Transition, 8A

The $10 billion Education Jobs Fund Act was passed last month to provide “assistance to States to save or create education jobs for the 2010-11 school year,� according to the U.S. Department of Education’s official literature on the topic. The funds are a one-time distribution. Districts can technically use the money during the 2011-12 school year, but the Department of Education is emphasizing the use of the money as soon as possible. For at least two southmetro school districts which are facing $20 million deficits in the coming years and levy questions this fall, using the money this year is not an option. “We are planning to recommend to our (school) board to utilize the funds for 2011-2012,� Solomon said. The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district is facing $24 million in budget adjustments for that school year if voters do not approve this fall’s operating levy. Should they approve it, the gap would be about $8 million. The $5 million Jobs Fund allocation would help to ease the pain and reduce the need for the district to dip into savings to pay operating expenses. “If the levy is successful, (the Jobs Fund dollars) would pretty much take away the need to reduce at all next year,� Solomon See Funds, 12A

Emmer calls for business tax cuts

Labor Day announcement was at Permac Industries in Burnsville

Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer unveiled what he called “Part 1� of his budget plan for Minnesota on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 6) at Permac Industries in Burnsville. Emmer called for tax cuts that he said would encourage job creation and business investment. Pictured at left is Darlene Miller, owner of Permac Industries. Behind Emmer is Dan Kealey, Burnsville City Council member. Emmer is calling for tax breaks for small business and also wants to lower business property taxes. He wants to expand the state’s research and development (R and D) tax credit; Emmer credits the state for pioneering the tax credit but also sees it as too low, ranking among the lower R and D credits in the United States. Emmer calls for further expansion of the angel investor tax credit with the idea of helping more startup companies take hold. Emmer calls for other business tax breaks as well. One of Emmer’s future budget proposals will deal with education. The Delano Republican has called for reform-

ing state regulations and streamlining state government and making it more efficient. Democrats were unhappy with Emmer’s first proposal. “Once again, it’s all smoke and mirrors with Tom Emmer and Minnesotans still don’t have a tangible plan from this out-oftouch candidate,� said DFL spokeswoman Kristin Sosanie. “All Tom Emmer did today was propose more tax cuts for corporations and add another $626 million to the state budget deficit,� she said in a statement.

Republican candidate for governor Rep. Tom Emmer released part of his state budget proposal on Labor Day, calling for tax cuts for business to boost job creation. “On this holiday dedicated to working people, too many Minnesotans are out of work,� Emmer said in a statement. “On this Labor Day, too many Minnesotans are fearful about their jobs. We need policies which will make Minnesota once again a place where jobs flourish and where business people want to make investments for future growth,� said Emmer. Emmer made his Sept. 6 announcement, which he said is the first piece of his state budget proposal, at Permac Industries in Burnsville, which manufactures precision parts for customers worldwide. Enacting his jobs agenda will be his highest priority as governor, he said. Emmer wants to immediately begin reducing the state’s 9.8 percent corporate tax, eventually doing away with it all together. According to the Emmer campaign, this measure will immediately save Minnesota employers about $368 million.

David Kautz kept a low profile

Mayor’s husband, who quietly served his community, dies of cancer at age 67

by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The late David Kautz kept a low profile in Burnsville and its politics. He was a quiet partner in the public life of his wife, Elizabeth, Burnsville’s mayor and current president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. “He was the sign guy� during election seasons, said Elizabeth, who was first elected mayor in 1994. “And he knew every place in Burnsville. He was very diligent about making sure that on the night of the election, by 10 o’clock, he would have all of the signs down. And he would finish it up the next day if we had any left.� David Kautz died of cancer on Sept. 1, 2010. He was 67. An Iowa native, David met Elizabeth when both attended the University of Iowa. They married in 1968 and moved to Burnsville 10 years later. “He was a very quiet and understated person,� Elizabeth said. “He supported

She is a survivor of uterine cancer and breast cancer. “What we have always said to ourselves is that this is part of the journey,� Elizabeth said. “It’s what we do with the journey that we’ve been blessed or privileged to have, and how it shapes us as human beings.� She and the couple’s two sons – Kyle of Portland, Ore., and Kevin of Laguna Nigel, Calif. – cared for David at home during the last two months of his life, which was a “blessing,� Elizabeth said. “But it was also very difficult to see my husband, whom I loved dearly and whom the boys loved dearly, change in his physicality from what he was,� she said. David was preceded in death by his parents, Virginia and Roy Kautz.

Eagan detective solves warehouse thefts

Employee and friend stole, sold ATVs, skid steers by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Diligent investigative work by Eagan Police Detective Brian Gunderson and other agencies led to the arrest of two men suspected in the theft of multiple all-terrain vehicles and skid steers. Jeremy Lee Schmidt, 36, of Spring Lake Park, and Andrew William Shodin, 32, of St. Paul, were each charged with three felonies related to the theft of 24 ATVs and three skid steers from an Eagan warehouse. The equipment was valued at well over $100,000. Gunderson said Schmidt worked at the warehouse, where several companies stored equipment before shipping.

He said new equipment was crated and included all paperwork, titles and keys to the vehicles. According to a Dakota County criminal complaint, on May 1, 2008, Shodin and Schmidt rented a truck from Penske Trucking, with the help of a woman who was the mother of Shodin’s child and another individual who drove a semi-tractor to help them move the equipment out of the warehouse. They made numerous trips, and returned the rented truck on May 2, 2008, dates which compared to the timeline of the original thefts. On May 7, 2008, Schmidt purchased a 2000 Ford Explorer, paying $4,950 in cash.

Shodin told a relative (who didn’t want to be identified because the person feared for his safety and his family’s safety) that he made about $108,000 from the thefts, and said he gave Schmidt $7,000 in cash and some methamphetamine for his assistance. Gunderson tracked vehicle identification numbers and matched them with the Minnesota registrations, then spoke with the people who had purchased the equipment from Shodin. One person he allegedly met in a bar. Another was introduced to Shodin by their stepdaughter. Gunderson said none of the people who purchased the vehicles have been See Thefts, 12A � �

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Local educators offer families back-to-school advice by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

School District 196 leaders and other educators in other school districts have advice to families for the coming school year. Here’s what they recommend: Paulette Reikowski, Eagan High School principal, explained that “the most important action by parents/guardians is to set a clear expectation and practice that school and education is very important and must come first. If the parent/guardian can take time each day to be with their son or daughter, talk school, look over assignments and homework and never believe there is nothing to

do for the next day. At the high school level there will always be work to take home and do in the evening. Come to school open houses, to Parent/Teacher Conferences and to events – be involved.” Dan Bodette, director of the School for Environmental Studies in Apple Valley, said,“as a parent, I would recommend asking their child at every dinner or every car ride, how their school day was. I would then follow up with a question or two to probe deeper into the day. I would also recommend

probing about future careers/aspirations and then help them go online with the multiple tools to find potential college/universities, fields of work, etc.” John Wollersheim, principal at Rosemount High School, believes that the most important advice to parents is to “make the school experience a three-way partnership between their teacher/school, their child and themselves. When all three of the partners are working together, the school experience can be maximized. For many parents the opportunity to enter into this partnership begins with open house or other pre-school activities offered by their school.”

Ben Kusch, Farmington High School principal, wrote: “Engage. Encourage, nay REQUIRE, that your student engage and get involved in ‘school life,’ be it in athletics, activities or clubs. Research supports that students involved in school activities of any sort do better in school academically and socially. Help your student find their niche. Don’t go overboard, though. There is a law of diminishing returns that occurs when students are involved in greater than five school activities. Parents can engage by getting to know their students’ teachers and attending events at the school. Find out what your

school is working on this year to improve student learning and achievement.” Over and over, these educators stressed communication and attitude. They want to hear from families. They ask families to encourage and listen to youngsters. Families following this advice will be a huge help to their children. Joe Nathan, a former public school teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change at Macalester College. He welcomes reactions, jnathan@macalester. edu.

Letters Minnesota Health Plan, Carlson deserve your support To the editor: Sen. Jim Carlson is a gift to the people in Eagan and all Minnesotans. He wants all of us to have health care, not just those who can find employment that offers affordable health care or are wealthy. It is a moral issue with Carlson and that is why he supports the Minnesota Health Plan as do I. More than 44,000 Americans die annually (Harvard study in September 2009) for lack of health care. This equates to one American every 12 minutes. This isn’t only immoral but the skyrocketing costs for all the administration involved in America’s system is bankrupting this country and fast. Insurance companies provide zero health care. They make money by denying health care. All other developed and some Third World countries such as Rwanda provide health care for their people and do a much better job. Small businesses have to choose to keep people employed or keep insurance for their employees. They can’t do both. The current system is bankrupting Americans and small businesses alike. Because the Minnesota Health Plan lowers costs of health care, through administrative efficiency, bulk purchasing and negotiated rates, it lowers the cost of doing business, allowing business to grow jobs without the burden of negotiating insurance plans each year, and businesses can focus on their business. We all know our current system is hemorrhaging and yet many are fighting tooth and nail to keep the status quo. Grow America, grow businesses and save lives, this is what the Minnesota Health plan does. We all need to thank Carlson for caring about the people in his district and the many businesses as well. I support Carlson and the Minnesota Health Plan. I hope you will join me.

a community gathering that the whole family could enjoy. By the opening of our final act, the park was packed tight with a sea of people, each with his or her own story. From the young children who held music instruments in their hands for the first time, to seniors who were dancing in the streets, the festival has never reached a crowd so diverse, and has never brought so much pleasure to those who came. None of this would have been possible without an army of volunteers and sponsors. Art and All That Jazz Inc. is a nonprofit corporation, and all those who work for it do so because of their belief in the event. No one receives financial compensation. We thank all those who made the festival possible. Your community thanks you, and we thank you for giving us this weekend. The eighth festival will be held Aug. 19-20, 2011. We hope that you will partner with us again and help us to raise the festival to even greater heights.

To the editor: Sen. Jim Carlson representing our District 38 at the state Capitol has some votes that carry a very harmful impact on the cities of Eagan and Burnsville. Besides many “no” votes that negatively affect our families, Carlson introduced a single-payer health plan for the state of Minnesota that would eliminate our option of choosing a health insurance provider and put over 2,500 taxpayers who work for Eagan insurance companies out of work. Their loss of jobs would have a tremendous impact on this area. The loss of that income that would normally be spent on housing, restaurants, food, clothing, gasoline, cars, etc., will be a great loss to our economy.

power of one single board composed of providers and consumers. • Each of us is in the driver’s seat. We would have our choice of provider. Currently insurance companies often make that choice for us. • Everyone is protected. No one should die, or be bankrupted (75 percent of bankruptcies are caused by overwhelming medical costs) because they need medical care. Better yet, the MHP is actually a grower of business. Business owners say that when businesses are no longer under the yoke of paying skyrocketing health insurance costs for their employees, they are free to grow jobs. Not only that, but individuals would no longer be tied to a job for their medical coverage, and would be free to choose the job they can do best – including starting their own businesses. That is the sort of thing that drives our economy. I encourage you to visit this website to learn more about the MHP: http:// muhcc.org. The benefit to all of us – universal coverage at a lower cost – is real and essential to our economic health. I thank Carlson and the 71 other legislators who support improving Minnesota by supporting the MHP. CHRISTIE SODERLING Eagan

Vote against District 194 levies To the editor: Lakeville School District 194 spins that all three levies are needed. For years, the district hasn’t seemed to find a way to balance its budget. District 194 has been used to having too much money throughout the years, and lately has had to curb the overspending that had been going on for many years before. It claims to have cut so much from its budget that no more can be cut. Baloney. Our households have had to find a way to cut more, even after we think we have cut all we could. Maybe the schools have to hold the new technology back for two or three years, saving many dollars and knowing that the computers currently being used are more than sufficient and that new, fancy computers to make response time half a second faster are not needed. District 194 wants to

Masin voted against the amendments that would have helped create jobs. By voting against these amendments, Masin eliminated many significant tax breaks for companies and individuals.

Let it expire, and let that money go back into the taxpayers’ pockets. Renewing that levy would be just like adding another new levy, because it would cease to be collected if we voted this renewal down. The district has to learn to spend only what it has in today’s world and to forget about the money it was used to spending in the past when property values were much higher. The district wants to add a new, 10-year levy that, when it expires, would require another vote to continue. Once voted in, there seems to be no end to the district’s levies. Let’s use our heads and vote “no” on these levies. The usual tax-and-spend theory is not valid anymore for projects that aren’t critically needed at this time.

percent loss of value is presumed. A year ago, property owners got a break after council members, citing the bad economy, voted unanimously not to raise the 2010 levy. Loss of state aids and other revenue, combined with the tax freeze, forced $3.5 million in budget cuts – equal to slightly more than 10 percent of 2010’s general operating fund. Cuts included elimination of 20 fulltime positions and a freeze in nonunion wages for 2010. Supporters of the 5.6 percent maximum hike said it’s justified after this year’s budget carnage. Doing less would be “irresponsible,� Council Member Dan Gustafson said. “At some point, it’s got to stop,� said Gustafson, who was joined by Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and Council Member Mary Sherry in voting for the increase. “We’re here to give service to the city.

That would essentially erase the 1.7 percent increase shouldered by properties now generating taxes for the city. “We have got to face the fact that people are not getting more money,� Crichton said. Kealey said the council should have challenged staff budgetmakers in June, when the council started budget talks, to find more savings. “I think we all are coming off a year or two of budget-cutting fatigue,� he said. Kealey cited reports he’s gotten from Burnsville businesses about steps they’ve taken to weather continuing economic doldrums. Permac Industries cut 50 percent of its staff, said Kealey, who was at Permac on Labor Day, appearing with Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer as he outlined proposals for business tax cuts. Another business cut its 401(k) match, Kealey said. A 3.7 percent levy increase “in most people’s minds, that’s plenty, given the economic situation,� said Kealey, adding his disteaches group members how to focus their search and create a “game plan.� “It’s about defining a job and target market, and building your marketing tools,� she said. Guest speakers also meet with the group to provide job-seeking tips. However, networking is still a critical part of job searching, Byers Breet said. “Eighty percent of jobs out there are never filled through the Internet,� she said. “Employers are busy. The only way to find a job is to talk with others in transition.� Members of the group network and share leads with one another at the group’s weekly meetings. Byers Breet said she always advises members to talk with people outside their own profession. “People often find jobs through people who don’t compete with them,� she said.

Sherry said she’s relieved that the increase needed to maintain city services came in lower than the 8.4 percent of earlier projections. “I will support this (5.6 percent) with the confidence that the staff will continue its momentum to bring this number down,� Sherry said. “I think we can do better than this.� In separate votes, the council unanimously approved a $460,000 levy for the Economic Development Authority. The EDA levy is part of the 5.6 percent increase. A total of $410,000 is dedicated annually to paying construction debt on the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. The remaining $50,000 will be split between continuing economic-development functions and a new, $25,000 contribution to the ITASCA Group, a regional economic-development consortium.

Thisweekend Festival puts focus on up-and-coming playwrights Chameleon Theatre Circle presents 10th annual New Play Festival by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Singing pirates. An exiled king and a sleeping princess. The mating habits of preying mantises. God’s desire to relinquish control of the universe. This year’s New Play Festival presented by Chameleon Theatre Circle features a mix of stories ranging from the mundane to the macabre to the utterly fantastic. The free-admission festival on Sept. 11 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center features the winning entries from Chameleon’s annual New Play Contest, which drew 146 submissions from playwrights across the globe. The nine winning entries will be staged “reader’s theater� style (meaning actors will have scripts in hand and won’t be wearing costumes) from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the PAC’s Black Box Theatre. “The purpose of this is to help playwrights nurture and develop their craft,� festival coordinator Andrew

Robin Pond, who wrote the play “Missing,� lives in Toronto; James Sievert, who authored the drama “No Flash Bright Enough,� is a Switzerland resident. Michael Peroz of Eagan is the sole Dakota County playwright whose work will be presented at the festival. His play, “Thorns,� is an historical fantasy featuring assassins, a witch, a sleeping princess and other fantastic-fiction tropes. Each staging will be followed by a 10- to 15-minute discussion of the play with the audience, and the audience will get to vote on the Best of Festival winner. Those who go aren’t be-

PUZZLE ANSWERS ARE FOR

CURRENT WEEK

Soldier who lost both legs shares his story theater and arts calendar John Kriesel will sign copies of his book ‘Still Standing’ on Sept. 18 in Apple Valley Staff Sgt. John Kriesel lost both his legs and two of his buddies in 2006 to a roadside bomb in Iraq. The Army National Guard soldier from Cottage Grove, working with writer Jim Kosmo, has turned his story of survival into a book, “Still Standing: The Story of SSG John Kriesel.� Kriesel and Kosmo will be on hand to sign copies of the book and answer questions at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, at the Apple Valley Barnes & Noble, 14880 Florence Trail. “Still Standing� gives a boots-on-theground soldier’s account of Kriesel’s combat experience, followed by his long recovery. The forword to “Still Standing� was written by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who visited Kriesel at Walter Reed Army Medical Center not long after the roadside-bomb

explosion near Fallujah, Iraq. “As I walked into his room, I was hoping that I could provide some encouragement and comfort to a wounded warrior,� Pawlenty wrote. “Instead, I left the hospital being encouraged and comforted by John and his incredibly strong wife, Kate.� To d a y, Kriesel is a civilian employee in marketing for the Minnesota National Guard and a part-time sports voice with KFAN radio. He also does public-speaking engagements with students, veterans and church groups to share his story of recovery. “I’m just happy to be alive,� Kriesel said. “I realize I’m not normal any longer and I have a mission – I have learned many lessons that I must pass on.� More about “Still Standing� is at www.

Lakeville man pleads guilty in ponzi scheme case Man bilked 17 banks out of more than $79 million along with its associated risk. From that point on, the bank receives the loan payments from the borrower, as if the bank had made the loan in the first place. Johnston’s scheme involved selling more than 100-percent participation in at least 10 different loans arranged through First United Funding. For example, Johnston oversold loan participation for a project known as White Out Way Investments, according to prosecutors. The original White Out Way loan, arranged through his company, was for $7 million. Johnston sold 100-percent participation in that loan to Western National Bank. At the same time, however, he convinced several other banks to participate in the loan, including 100-percent participation by The National Bank in Bettendorf, Iowa, as well as partial participation by four other lending institutions.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Lakeville man federal prosecutors say was behind an elaborate ponzi scheme that bilked banks of nearly $80 million has pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of filing a false income tax return. Corey Noel Johnston, 40, was accused of running the same kind of financial fraud that sent Minnesota businessman Tom Petters and national businessman Bernie Madoff to jail. In the plea agreement, Johnston admitted that from 2005 through March of 2009, he oversold participation in large commercial and personal loans arranged by him through his company, First United Funding. According to prosecutors, loan participation is a common banking practice in which a bank pays an original lender all or a portion of a particular loan and then assumes that loan,

%& ' ( ) (

All told, Johnston solicited and received $23.65 million from six banks for the $7 million loan, prosecutors said. Johnston used some of the proceeds of the fraud to repay other loans and perpetuate the scheme. He also diverted fraud proceeds for his personal use as well as for use by family members. Johnston faces a potential maximum penalty of 30 years in prison on the bank fraud charge and three years on the charge of filing a false income tax return. A sentencing date has not been scheduled. A phone message left to a number listed for First United Funding wasn’t immediately returned. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com

Funds/from 2A said. The Lakeville school district, which faces $21 million in budget adjustments, will also put levy questions on the ballot this fall. Even if Lakeville voters render a positive answer on the ballot, the district faces $3 million in adjustments for 2011-12. As with the neighbor to the north, Lakeville superintendent Gary Amoroso said the money will be used more appropriately next year. “We will use the $2 million to help offset the deficit,� Amoroso said. “We appreciate the availability of the finds, but they don’t really assist in solving our next biennium deficit if we use them this year.� Amoroso said he will discuss this with the board at its Sept. 16 meeting. The Burnsville-EaganSavage school district is not in the same financial situa-

tion as its neighbors. There are no anticipated cuts, adjustments or levy questions. The challenge for the district, Clegg said, is to make sure to balance the need for the funds with the considerations of the consequences of adding positions. “We want to make sure not to create a ‘maintenance of effort’ situation where we have to continue an expenditure once the funds are gone,� Clegg said. If the district adds a certain type of position, he said, state mandates may require them to fund it beyond the rest of the school year. Clegg said the school board will discuss this issue soon, but the district is not expecting to use this money for a while. Though it comes with caveats and waiting periods, and is only a one-time reimbursement for expenses, local school district officials all said they were thankful for the help. “It’s one more year of being able to offer some programming and have some staffing we otherwise would not have,� Amoroso said.

Molly McGovern should have been starting as a sixthgrader at Rosemount Middle School this week. Instead, the 11-year-old soccer player was working hard to move her arms and legs and her parents, Jo and Dennis McGovern, were excited that she was able to breathe without a ventilator. Hospitalized in August after several doctor trips and weeks of cold-like symptoms that expanded to include muscle pain and weakness, Molly was eventually diagnosed with GuillainBarrÊ syndrome. The rare disorder causes the body’s immune system to attack its nervous system. Since the unexpected diagnosis, Jo and Dennis have been by Molly’s side in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at St. Paul’s Children’s Hospital as she undergoes numerous treatments and therapies. But her care is expected to last for many more months. Doctors plan to move her to Gillette Hospital for inpatient rehabilitation, where she will also begin a school program.

Molly McGovern

“We don’t exactly know how long yet as to how much nerve damage there has been,� Jo wrote. On Molly’s Caring Bridge website, MollyMcGovern1, she frequently writes of Molly’s determination to work hard so she can overcome the disease and return home. Friends and family have pitched in to help care for the McGoverns’ other children, Megg, 15, and Bailey, 13, making sure they get rides and meals, as well as taking care of the yard and home. While insurance covers some of Molly’s medical costs, the family will have thousands Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net. in out-of-pocket expenses.

Apple Valley grandpa arrested after altercation over scooter Fight allegedly involved fake gun, real knife by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

semi-automatic pistol, wrapped in a bag and holding it in front of himself. Davis told police he intended to intimidate and scare off the three individuals, but he was unable to pull the gun out of the bag because he was nervous. One of the men wrestled the gun from him, discovered it was a BB gun and broke it. When the man attempted to leave, Davis followed him to a vehicle carrying a knife and cut him while the man tried to get into the vehicle. According to police reports, there was an altercation between the men and police were called. Apple Valley Police Chief Scott Johnson said statements were taken from all the men and the case turned over to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office for charges. “I think tempers got the better of everyone involved in this one,� said Johnson. “I don’t recommend anyone take the law into their own hands,� Johnson added. “Call the police. That’s what we’re getting paid for.�

An Apple Valley man was arrested Aug. 31 after allegedly threatening men with a fake gun and then cutting one of them with a knife after an altercation over his grandson’s scooter. Billy Ray Davis, 66, was charged with second degree assault and terroristic threats, both felonies, after confronting several men near his trailer on the 12700 block of Gerdine Court. A criminal complaint filed in Dakota County District Court gives the following account: The 6-year-old boy told his grandfather that someone had taken his scooter, and then saw and confronted two 19-year-old Apple Valley men who returned to the area with it. After the boy told the men it was his scooter, they discarded it and the boy brought it home. Later, the men walked by Davis’ home, and he yelled to them, asking why they had taken the scooter and telling them they shouldn’t do that kind of thing. The men left but returned about a half-hour later with another man. Davis came out of his home Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@ with a BB gun, a replica of a black frontiernet.net.

The Burnsville Blaze football players are eager to get the ball moving in 2010. With many returning players, the Blaze want to show the new South Suburban Conference they’re not the team that won just two games in the past two years. “The team should be competitive with the teams in the South Suburban,” head coach Mark Riggs said. “It’s tough to pick a

Charles Smith, is also back at receiver along with Chad Dove. Jones will have veteran protection at offensive line with Channing Smith, Dre Thomas, Chase Roullier and Zach Severson all back. The position with the least amount of experience appears to be the running back spot as every back from a year ago has graduated. The defense also took a significant hit, losing line-

backers Yusef Hassan and Zack Okonek to graduation. Burnsville has a mix of linemen, linebackers and defensive backs with experience such as Brian Lien, Andrew Wiebe, Justin Threlkeld, Cody Martin, Harris Wahidi. “We have a top linebacker group and a solid (defensive) line,” Riggs said. The Blaze showed what they could accomplish with a 35-20 blowout against

Bloomington Jefferson on Sept. 2. Charles Smith had a dominant all-around game, with 65 yards rushing with two touchdowns. He led the team in receiving with two catches for 30 yards and also returned a kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown. The team’s home opener is on Friday, Sept. 10, against Rosemount.

favorite in South Suburban. We have solid teams all the way through.” Riggs believes Burnsville is one of those solid-all-theway-through teams. “We have no concerns; we just can’t wait to get started,” Riggs said. The quarterback abilities of Cameron Jones alone should keep the team competitive. Jones is one of the top returning quarterbacks in the conference. His favorite target,

The Eagan football team hopes its performance in 2009 was just the beginning. Although the team’s record ended up at 5-5, it was the best season in years, especially considering its schedule. The Wildcats lost to Eastview by two points, Eden Prairie by 10 and Cretin-Derham Hall by one. All three teams qualified for the state tournament with Cretin-Derham Hall winning it all. “It was a very important season for our program,” coach Rick Sutton said. “We lost one of our most important players early on, but we kept battling and developing confidence.” The expectations are just as high this year. “We’re not going to accept anything but our very best,” Sutton said. “We’re progressing well, but our coaches are never quite happy.” The good news is that several of those players are back on the field for Eagan. One big reason for the excitement is the fact that top quarterback Jameson Parsons isn’t injured as he was most of last season. “He missed almost all of it,” Sutton said. “He’s cer-

tainly very comfortable running our offense. It gives us a dimension that we didn’t have last year. We can open up the passing game a little.” Another top returning player is Bob Rada. He’ll be busy on Friday nights playing safety and running back. “He had a fantastic year as a junior,” Sutton said. “We have to be intelligent on how we use him.” Matt Henteges will also spend time on offense and defense at wide receiver and defensive back. “We expect him to have a big year,” Sutton said. “We need to get the ball in his hands.” Offensive linemen Matt Yetzer, Connor Randall, Tommy Bodeker, Tyler Bohannon and Jake Persons will try to keep the defense under control. The team’s defense should be improved as well. “We’re a little ahead of where we were last year,” Sutton said. “We didn’t play as well late in the year, but we have a little more experience coming back.” Eric Wittenburg leads the defensive line and Matt Keller is back at linebacker with Jake Lueck. Rada is joined by Ryan Nelson in the secondary.

Boys cross country: Few figure to be faster than Blaze by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Burnsville boys cross country team has been one of the best teams in the state recently, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon. The Blaze won the St. Catherine’s Invitational on Sept. 3 and finished sixth at a multistate invitational in Marshfield, Wis., on Sept. 4. “The process of working hard for the entire team is there,” coach Jeff Webber said. “As a team, from the top athletes to the slower kids, they have really worked hard.” The Blaze finished third in the Class AA state tournament last November, and several of the same runners have returned. Leading the way is Cole O’Brien, who was the runnerup at state last year. Teammates Shane Boeser, Abdulahi Salan, Michael Bolland and Eric Lindstrom are all back after running at state last season. Jimmy Walker, Erik Kollash, Matt Connelly and Zach Eisenbeis will help fill in for those who graduated. “We have a strong team, but the injury bug has already hit us, so only time will tell,” Webber said.

Eagan Eagan coach Robin Graham is predicting some of the best times ever for the Wildcats this year. “This should be the strongest boys team that (Eagan) fans have seen in quite some time,” Graham said. “Our team is 61-strong again and has as much right to set lofty goals as any group we’ve ever had.” Last year the team finished seventh in the Section 3AA meet, but this year has a goal of qualifying for state. Things started about as well as they could with a win at the Dakota County Classic on Sept. 3. Sidney Speir led the way, winning the meet. He ran the second-

fastest race ever by a Wildcat and knocked 13 seconds off his previous best. “His tactics and improved fitness pushed the area elite runners to the wire,” Graham said. “Sidney’s name belongs in any conversation about top metro runners.” But to get to state as a team, the Wildcats will need more than Speir. Chris Parr hopes his talents as an elite Nordic skier continue to transfer to the runner shoe for fall. He’ll be joined by Max Feld, who went to state last year, as well as by Adam Peters, Kevin Chan, Justin Renneke, Ryan Downes, John Schultz, Jordan Pesik and a number of other athletes competing for a varsity spot. “This team is a close team, both in friendships and in competitiveness,” Graham said. “Early-season indicators are very strong.” Graham was particularly impressed with the team’s offseason training. “It was clearly better than any in recent years,” Graham said. “The key to success will be a sub30-second spread between our No. 1 runner and No. 5.”

Eastview After a quick start, Eastview looks to be in the mix in the newly formed South Suburban Conference. The Lightning finished third at the Rolf Mellby Invitational at St. Olaf College in Northfield on Sept. 3, behind Owatonna and Red Wing in the 27-team meet. Eric Rosvold was the team’s top finisher, coming in at sixth place out of almost 700 varsity and junior varsity runners. Ken Hoffman was 20th, David Salter 24th, Nick Oelke 36th and Dan Spika 56th.

Eastview wants to swim lightning fast by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lightning girls swim team is hoping to glide through the water faster than anyone else this season. Given the talent returning to the pool this season, Eastview should be in the mix with Lakeville North and Prior Lake for the South Suburban Conference title, as well as the Section 3AA title. Coach Mark Tollefson feels so confident that he thinks the team has the potential to break all three relay records as well as the school records in the backstroke, breaststroke and fly. The Lightning have two returning swimmers with state tournament experience in Breanna Schlegel and Kayla Hutsell. Hutsell finished third in the Class AA state tournament last year in the butterfly and sixth in the backstroke. Schlegel was part of the 200-yard medley that qualified for state last year as well. Eastview also has Kristin Podratz, Emily Kilen, Kelsey Deinhammer, Leah Anderson and Katharine Hamand back swimming and diving with Eastview printed on their swim caps. Anderson and Podratz were part of the 200 freestyle relay that finished 13th at state. “Many (members of our) team

trained extensively over the past nine months and we are looking to improve upon our section and state meet performance from last year,” Tollefson said. The team already defeated Burnsville in the season opener 91-78.

Rosemount The Irish have a long list of swimmers this year with many underclassmen eager for a spot on varsity. Several of those underclassmen already have state tournament experience. Elyse Griffith, Beth Wenman and Claire Tolan were all members of the state-qualifying 400 freestyle relay last fall. “They look very strong, and are capable of being state qualifiers,” coach Tami Carlson said. Wenman was also part of the 200 freestyle relay along with returning swimmer Teija Normandeau. Megan Jelinski is another key underclassman back swimming for the Irish along with diver Claire Judeh. Carlson’s goal is to have a winning record in the team’s dual-meet schedule and qualify some individuals and two relays in the state meet. Andy Rogers is andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Schools/from 1A school students, regardless of socioeconomic background, often do not eat the first meal of the day. The timeless adage that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day� rings true for Williams, who has a background in clinical dietetics. “The whole idea is students eat breakfast so they can perform better in the classroom,� she said. “Breakfast eaters weigh less and are healthier overall.� The cost for a breakfast is $1.40, but the price is less for those who are eligible for a free- or reduced-price lunch program. The $11,400 from the U of M’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health covers the cost of servers and data collection (it is an academic endeavor, after all). Williams said she would love to see the number of students eating breakfast as high as 80 percent. “The meals are designed to meet one-quarter of the recommended dietary allowances,� she said. “If they take whole components, they’ll be good to go.� Meanwhile, in Savage, the school district has debuted its gifted and talented program at Eagle Ridge Junior High School. There will be “houses� for the gifted and talented students in both the seventh and eighth grade, said

Berenz said she is proud of the district’s well-established magnet schools. “People from all over the United States are visiting them,� she said.

Gifted students will still interact with grade-level peers not in the program. This gives students the ability to learn to work with others of varying personalities and talents, he said. There are 178 students enrolled in the program with a majority from the Eagle Ridge attendance area, Leake said in the presentation. Demographically, about 83 percent of those students are white, followed by 9 percent who are Asian. In addition to advanced curricular offerings, Eagle Ridge students will also have the opportunity to participate in mock trial, the robotics club, pre-engineering electives, theater, jazz band and a variety of mentorships and financial literacy programs.

Coach Charlie Burnham is encouraged about Burnsville girls cross country after the Blaze finished third at the South High Tigers Invitational at St. Catherine University in St. Paul on Sept. 3. The high finish was boosted by Vivian Hett’s first-place finish. “Numbers are up, and hopefully that will provide us with a little more depth than we have had in the past,� Burnham said. “We’re very young, so a little hard work and patience will be necessary before we show how well these girls will do.� The list of returning girls is long, headed by Sharmila Ahmed, who owns the school record in the 4,000-kilometer run. “She has more competition within the team than she has had in a couple years, so currently no record is safe,� Burnham said. She’ll have Alissa Fisher, Rissa Lane, Sierra Adrian, and Maddy Wedan help lead a group with several freshmen and eighth-graders.

“We are very young, but we have some fantastic upperclassmen to show them the ropes,� Burnham said. The younger varsity runners looking to help out include Rachel Schwake, Tori Felton, Jordan Horner and Lisa Ranft. The biggest worry for Burnham is the team staying healthy. “Last year our biggest obstacle was the swine flu,� Burnham said.

Eagan The Wildcats started the season on the right pair of running shoes. The girls were second-best at home in the Dakota Classic on Sept. 3. Elizabeth Frick started her cross country career off right, running to a school record for this 3,200-meter course and finishing in second place. Danielle Anderson wasn’t far behind at fourth place, and Michaela Banz dropped her time from last year significantly while coming in eighth. “All of them are working extremely hard to achieve

the goals that they have set for themselves and the team this season,� coach Lisa Langenhahn said. “We are injury free, and hoping we can stay that way.� Eagan will also get some points from fellow runners Alanna Stangl, Heather Goff, Libby Jacoby and Phoebe Craig. “The girls have had a great three weeks of practice and wanted to prove to everyone that they have been working hard,� Langenhahn said.

Eastview The Lightning have one returning runner with state tournament experience in Anne Ferguson. She finished in 45th place at state last year. The team narrowly missed out on qualifying all the runners, missing the cut by 22 points last year. The team will also have Courtney Conroy, Jena Moody, MacKenzie Burkstrand and Lindsey Schoenecker on its side in 2010. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Ye Old Mill/from 1A

Ye Old Mill is still in the original building built on the fairgrounds in 1913. give them money for college anyway, but they worked hard for it,� John said. The sons always return for the fair, this year with five of John and Marna’s seven grandchildren in tow. Having retired from PDQ several years ago, John puts in more time at Ye Old Mill, with help in recent summers from a trio of Burnsville college students: David Meyer, Tony Glass and Jeff Litchke. “It used to be I’d have to train somebody every summer,� John said. “These guys, I’d give ’em a list, and they’d get ’er done.� Ye Old Mill’s electric engine powers a system of gears, chains and clutches that propels the boats along tracks into and out of the stream. The engine also powers the large, yellow paddlewheel that creates the current that carries the boats through blackness interrupted only by intermittent set pieces in the walls. “I think it’s the darkness,� John said, describing the ride’s timeless appeal. “There’s nothing that jumps out and scares them. We kind of gear the scenes toward kids.� It’s been entertaining

enough for the likes of Sonny and Cher (who visited when they performed at the fair grandstand long ago), Janet Jackson (who came through with record producer Jimmy Jam, a Ye Old Mill fan), ex-Timberwolf Kevin Garnett, Garrison Keillor, Minnesota musician Martin Zellar and – by the family’s count – every governor for decades except Jesse Ventura and Tim Pawlenty. “Rudy Perpich loved it,� Marna said. “He’d come every year.� Last year a man proposed marriage in Ye Old Mill, John said. This year, one of the riders was a 92-year-old woman, Marna said. Fairgoers “come up to the window and say stuff like, ‘My parents brought me here when I was a kid, and now I have my three grandkids,’ � John said. “We hear all kinds of those things from people – especially on Senior Citizens Day. They’ll stand outside. They may not ride, but you can tell they’re reminiscing.�

The motor that powers the ride is an original, too – a 40-horse, General Electric-Westinghouse electric engine whose longevity is at least partially explained by the fact that it operates only 12 days a year. “We’ll keep it just as traditional as the day grandfather bought it,� said Marna, John’s wife of 47 years. John Keenan’s grandfather lived in Philadelphia, where he owned a string of vaudeville theaters there in the early 1900s. With the advent of talking pictures, he predicted the end of vaudeville and sought out other entertainment ventures. His son, John Jr., went to work for the Philadelphia Toboggan Co., a manufacturer of carnival rides. Working with the company, the Keenans developed the first Ye Old Mill and began setting up shop across the land. The Keenans built Ye Old Mills in Minnesota; Des Moines, Iowa; Hutchinson, Kan.; Topeka, Kan.; Little Rock, Ark.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; and Shreveport, La. John H. Keenan’s father, James, bought the family business in the 1940s. By the time John took over in 1967, Ye Old Mills remained only at the Minnesota and Iowa state fairgrounds. John sold the Iowa property in 1972. For 35 years he worked for PDQ stores while he and Marna raised four sons. “I worked, and then I’d come over here in the evenings,� said John, who also hired workers to perform annual maintenance of Ye Old Mill during the pre-fair months. As his sons – Jim of Savage, Jeremy of Mesa, Ariz., John Jr. of Gilbert, Ariz. and Joe of Los Angeles – grew up, they found themselves with ready-made summer jobs. “I always thought I’d
