Political pendulum swings again DFLers take Senate District 51 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

The political pendulum swung to the Democrats on Tuesday as the party swept Senate District 51 and its two House districts. Jim Carlson and Sandra Masin won their rematches against Sen. Ted Daley and Rep. Diane Anderson, respectively, while newcomer Laurie Halverson ousted first-term Republican Rep. Doug Wardlow. This isn’t the EaganBurnsville area’s first political sweep in recent years. The newly configured District 51, which is geographically similar to prior boundaries, has followed state and national trends over the past four years. Carlson and Masin were first elected to the Minnesota Senate and House in 2006 during the Democratic

Former state Rep. Will Morgan contributed to a series of Democratic victories Tuesday that gave control of the Minnesota House of Representatives to the DFL Party. The Burnsville DFLer narrowly defeated Roz Peterson of Lakeville in House District 56B, which includes southern and part of central Burnsville as well as a small piece of northwest Lakeville. Morgan won 50.3 percent of the vote to Peterson’s 49.5 percent for the open seat in the newly configured district. Morgan was first elected in 2006, defeating former Republican Rep. Duke Powell. Morgan served two terms, losing in 2010 to current Republican Rep. Pam Myhra.

Incumbents prevail in District 191 by John Gessner

SUN THISWEEK

Longtime Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz won her election rematch with Jerry Willenburg Tuesday, expanding her margin of victory from four years ago. Kautz won 54 percent of the vote in 2008, the closest race since her first election in 1994. On Tuesday she won 57 percent of the vote in an election that also returned one-term incumbent Mary Sherry to the City Council and ushered in a council newcomer, Suzanne Nguyen. An anonymous mailing attacking on Kautz, 65, in the week before the election (see related story) didn’t derail her re-election to a seventh term as mayor. The result “says to me that we have a very, very smart electorate in Burnsville,� said Kautz, who won 16,600 votes to Willenburg’s

in addition to its even mix of conservative and liberal voters. “Independent voters often don’t make a decision until the last minute,� Daley said. The Eagan resident speculates that the district gets this mix due to its location between Lakeville, which is predominately conservative and St. Paul, which leans to the left. District 51 covers all of Eagan and northeast Burnsville. Strong voter turnout during tight federal races is a factor Daley points as a possible reason why the district follows statewide swings. Daley warns that swinging from left to right every two years could come as a detriment to the district. “We need to have a conversation establishing goals and objectives, no matter what party, to create a viSee SWEEP, 12A

Neither Peterson, a Lakeville Area School Board member, nor Morgan, a Will Morgan B u r n s v i l l e High School s c i e n c e teacher, could be reached for comment before deadline on Wednesday. Burnsville’s Republican lawmakers held their seats on Tuesday. In Senate District 56, one-term incumbent Dan Hall defeated Burnsville DFLer Leon Thurman by 52.9 percent to 46.9 percent. In House District 56A, which includes northwest Burnsville and all of Savage, Myhra defeated Savage DFLer David Jensen by 53.9 percent to 45.9 percent.

The four incumbents were returned to the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board Tuesday in a crowded 10-way race. The incumbents survived despite a year of controversy over the $255,000 buyout of Tania Chance, the district’s controversial ex-human resources director, who resigned in February under a separation agreement that paid her for not working the last 18 months of her twoyear contract. Board Chair Ron Hill, first elected in 1999, said he went into the election thinking at least one of the incumbents might not survive the controversy. “The community knew it was a tough go over the last 12 months for the board,� Hill said.

DFL legislative wins help swing control in state by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK

Congressman John Kline, R-Burnsville, fended off DFLer Mike Obermueller in the tight race in the 2nd District.

Kline returned to Congress Burnsville Republican captures 54 percent of vote by Tad Johnson

with 63 percent of the vote and war veteran Steve Sarvi in 2008 with 56 percent of the vote. Obermueller, 39, an attorney who defeated a Minnesota House Republican in 2008 only to be defeated by the Republican’s son two years later, touted his moderate credentials and being a better fit for the district. Kline challenged that assertion in the candidates’ only debate in the final week of the campaign. He touted his ability to work in a bipartisan manner to deliver payments to recently returned war veterans, improve charter school law and repeal No Child Left Behind.

SUN THISWEEK

U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, fended off a challenge in the 2nd District from Eagan attorney and former state Rep. Mike Obermueller on Tuesday to win election to his sixth term in the House. Kline won 54 percent of the vote, while Obermueller finished with 46 percent. Some had speculated that the redrawn 2nd District lines would favor Obermueller as the reliably Republican western portion of the district was cut out and Democrat-leaning portions of Dakota and Washington counties were added along with areas south of Dakota County.

Shelley Madore in 2010

Dakota County legislative elections have in past years helped determine control of the state House and Senate and that is the case in 2012. With Democrats wresting five of the previously GOP-held legislative seats and one open position in the Sun Thisweek coverage area, Democrats helped take back the Senate and the House in Minnesota. Prior to the election, Republicans held a 37-30 majority in the Senate and a 72-62 majority in the House. As of Wednesday morning with results still coming in, the DFL majorities were not definitive, but enough seats changed hands to ensure the Legislature and governor’s office will be in

DFL control for the first time since 1990, the last year of DFL Gov. Rudy Perpich’s term. Among the DFL wins were Jim Carlson in Senate District 51, Greg Clausen in Senate District 57, Sandra Masin in House District 51A, Laurie Halverson in House District 51B and Will Morgan in House District 56B. The majority of Republicans held onto their positions at the Capitol. They include the Senate seat and the two House seats in 58 – Sen. Dave Thompson and Reps. Mary Liz Holberg and Pat Garofalo. Republican incumbents also winning were Sen. Dan Hall (56) and Reps. Pam Myhra (56A), and Tara Mack (57A). Anna Wills won the open seat in House District 57B,

which was vacated when Rep. Kurt Bills, Rosemount, ran for U.S. Senate and was defeated Tuesday night. Wills was the lone Republican to win an open legislative seat. Clausen won the Senate 57 spot over Pat Hall that was previously held by Sen. Chris Gerlach, who retired from the Senate and decided to run for County Board when Willis Branning retired in District 7. Morgan won an open seat that was created by redistricting over Lakeville School Board Member Roz Peterson, Lakeville. That was the closest vote total of the night with Morgan having 170 more votes.

Workman wins County Board race by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Dakota County Commissioner Liz Workman, easily won a second term in office, earning 15,363 votes, 61.89 percent of the 24,822 ballots cast in the District 5 race, according to Dakota County’s unofficial election results. Challenger Dave Giles, a Dakota County highway maintenance worker, earned 9,308 votes, 37.49 percent. Workman said she is grateful to voters for their support.

“Thank you for your confidence and continued support,” she said. “I won’t let you down.” She cited her priorities as keeping the levy low and reducing spending. “One of our challenges is going to be our aging demographic,” Workman said, noting that by 2030, the county will have more senior citizens age 55 and older than it does children in grades K-12. She said the County Board is working on the budget and priorities this

week. “We are in the process of looking at everything again,” she said. “There is a growing demand for service on counties, and finding more efficient ways to handle the things coming up.” Workman, a former Burnsville City Council member, was first elected to the County Board in 2008, and has served there since 2009.

Opinion Veterans Day reminds us of the help needed by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK

No matter what your position on the wars, we honor the warriors this Veterans Day. Gone are the days, thank goodness, when warriors who returned from the Vietnam War were greeted shamefully. Now, communities across the state are organizing Beyond the Yellow Ribbon units, designed to mobilize their resources and to help military families in every way possible, particularly those recently deployed or returning from deployment. These families and those returning from deployment face challenges adjusting to civilian life and to their families. The National Guard particularly is involving Yellow Ribbon units in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount to help their members adjust to civilian life.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman

One challenge for those who have organized Yellow Ribbon units is locating the families who need the help and are reluctant to ask for it. Due to privacy laws, their military units are not able to provide those names. The hope of Yellow Ribbon units is that if organized, families will come forward. So, this is an appeal to military families to come forward. If you need help, your Yellow Ribbon community will go out of its way to assist you.

There also is a State Yellow Ribbon website for guidance. A Yellow Ribbon community has to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to be certified by the state. A steering committee writes the plan and follows it up after state certification. That plan has key areas of city leadership, veterans organizations, K-12 education and youth programs, public safety and judicial, business and employers, faith based, medical, social services and volunteer groups. Yellow Ribbon organizers are finding that initially families are asking for little things: repairing, fixing pluming and electrical problems, mowing lawns, painting houses and caring for children. One example is a mother who needed help to move from her home in St. Cloud to her parents’ home in Brooklyn Park; 17 Yellow Ribbon members helped her. Farmington resident Annette Kuyper,

director of military outreach for the Minnesota Army National Guard who led the effort to make Farmington the first Yellow Ribbon city in Minnesota, says so many veterans feel alone and isolated and now Minnesota has Beyond the Yellow Ribbon networks to support them. At first, the program began to help National Guard members and was expanded to include all members of the military and veterans. Now when the warriors come home from the war, they are welcomed, not scorned, in part because Yellow Ribbon communities have come together to help and to thank those who have sacrificed much for our country.

A growing newspaper company must change with changing communities by Larry Werner SUN THISWEEK

Recently 40 of my colleagues and I were talking about race and racism. In a halfday workshop led by facilitators from an organization called Minnesota Philanthropy Partners, we discussed how race affects the way we see the world in which we live and our story-telling craft. It was a moving day of watching video about racial attitudes and then breaking into small groups to discuss the way we were raised and the way we evolved as white people now living in a metropolitan area that is becoming less white. It was important work because as journalists, it is our job to produce newspapers and websites that reflect the reality of our cities and counties. As Julian Andersen, our publisher and CEO, asked when I was arranging the workshop for ECM’s journalists, “Are we covering our communities the way they are or the way they were.” Do our newspapers have stories and images of the diverse populations that are changing our cities and counties? Or do the front pages of our papers and websites have the same white faces they’ve always had? Those cities and counties, primarily in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, used to be very white, but the 2010 Census and subsequent surveys show that changes are happening. Coon Rapids, where ECM Publishers is headquartered and where we publish three Anoka County newspapers, was 4 percent nonwhite in 1990. It was 16 percent non-

white in 2010. Burnsville, where we publish the Sun Thisweek I used to manage, had a 6 percent nonwhite population in 1990, and is now 27 percent minority. The numbers get even more dramatic when we look at cities now served by ECM as a result of acquiring the Sun Newspapers last December. Richfield, which is served by the Richfield Sun Current, was 9 percent minority in 1990, and it’s now about 40 percent nonwhite. Even Edina, served by the Edina Sun Current, has changed dramatically in terms of its complexion, and cities such as Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center, which were more than 90 percent white 20 years ago, are now more than 50 percent minority. I joined ECM about five years ago after retiring from the Star Tribune. After deciding within a few months that retirement and I weren’t a good fit, I was offered a job running ECM’s Thisweek Newspapers in Dakota County. In December, ECM, which was started 36 years ago by former Gov. Elmer L. Andersen, acquired the Sun papers, which had been the largest weekly-newspaper group in Minnesota. As a result of the acquisition, ECM-Sun publishes 51 newspapers

serving about 240 cities and goes to about 700,000 homes. My boss, ECM President Marge Winkelman, asked me to take a job at the Coon Rapids corporate headquarters as director of news. ECM not only acquired more than 30 papers and websites but also about 40 reporters and editors. We now have more than 80 news people who I bring together regularly to discuss how we fulfill our responsibility to cover the news accurately and responsibly for the readers in ECM Land. In June, about 50 of our journalists met to discuss how we will be covering the campaigns and elections happening this year. Our guest speaker at that session was Dane Smith, former political reporter for the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press who now runs a think tank called Growth & Justice. After that session, in which Smith talked about political coverage to a roomful of white faces, he suggested we devote our second workshop to the issue of diversity. It was a good suggestion. As Tim Budig, our state Capitol correspondent, reported in a recent story, race is changing our communities: Ten years ago, Tim reported, minorities made up more than 10 percent of the population of six metro cities. Today, minorities make up more than 10 percent of the population in 73 cities. Tim has also written about the work of Myron Orfield, a former legislator and now a teacher and researcher at the U of M. Orfield says the suburban communities are changing racially faster than the core cities and must make sure those communities don’t create segregated communities

within suburban cities by making poor decisions about such matters as schools and housing. In my small group at the race workshop, one of our reporters talked about growing up in Coon Rapids and remembering a single black person in her high school class. Having moved back to the city as an adult, she lives on a street where she, as a white person, is in the minority. Yes, the metropolitan area where we live and publish our newspapers is a different place from what it was. As ECM grows in size and influence, our leaders are committed to helping us grow in understanding the people, places and issues that are the raw material for stories we write. Another speaker at our diversity workshop, Lynda McDonnell, runs a program at the University of St. Thomas for high school journalists, many of them minority students. McDonnell, who spent many years as a reporter and editor at the Twin Cities dailies, shared a quote that makes the point it’s not just right to diversify our news coverage, but it’s probably good business. She quoted Sally Lehrman, author of a book called News in a New America: “In a nation where democracy is organized by geography, the news organizations that reflect their communities will stay in business. The others probably won’t.” Larry Werner is director of news for ECM Publishers. His e-mail is larry.werner@ecminc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

but this sounded like a really good cause. She asked if she could call me back. By the end of the day, Jennifer returned my call and stated that she had boxes for me, but she also had several co-workers who were very crafty and they wondered if they could make the costume for me. Needless to say, I was thrilled! Jennifer asked if I could stop by with my son and Alison Gresback took measurements of my son’s wheelchair. That weekend Jennifer, Alison, and several others assembled the coolest costume ever. The truck was a Ford pickup, just like his dad’s, with real working headlights, reflectors for tail lights, and a set of keys that could make a honking sound.

On Halloween Reier took the costume to school with him for the Lakeview Elementary school parade. When Reier walked down the hall in his costume, the children clapped for him. He was so proud and excited. He smiled all day long. I thank Target for all that it does for the Lakeville community and especially for the wonderful employees that made a little boy’s Halloween one he will never forget.

To the editor: I thank the citizens of Burnsville for re-electing me to Burnsville’s City Council. It has been an honor to serve for these past four years, and an even greater honor to receive their endorsement to serve another term. The primary energy, enthusiasm and effectiveness of my campaign came from my committee members, whom many voters have met: Sue and Mike Erickson, Mary Sue and Karl Goss, Beth and Steve Bender and Nona and Gary Gibson. I am grateful to them and to all who helped in so PEG FINK Burnsville many ways.

The employees at the Target Lakeville store are truly wonderful. My 6-year-old son, Reier, has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He has been in a wheelchair all of his life. This Halloween we wanted our son to dress up like something he truly loves rather than us pick out a costume for him. He decided he wanted to be Daddy’s pickup truck. I went online and found some examples of other wheelchair costumes and decided I would try to make this for him (despite my lack of craft skills). My first step was to find large cardboard boxes. I called Target Lakeville and was transferred to Jennifer Blumhoefer. Jennifer stated that they don’t typically save boxes,

After a rocky start to the school year, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 is hiring a consultant to get its transportation house in order. The School Board voted 4-2 Nov. 1 to hire the St. Anthony-based Center for Efficient School Operations at an annual cost of $180,000. The district’s contract with the firm ends June 30, 2015. The district hopes to eventually rebuild its depleted bus-routing capabilities and do the job in house, according to Lisa Rider, executive director of business services. “The fact is, this fall we did not serve our population of students and families as intended, particularly in the area of special education,� Rider told the board. Staff shakeups have contributed to problems, particularly in special education routing, which Rider called an especially “intense� task. The district took on special education routing on July 1 after hiring a new bus contractor, Durham School Services. The district’s previous provider, First Student, had done that task for a fee.

The district made no such arrangement with Durham. One of two district routers left on the first day of school this year, and the district has had trouble finding a replacement, Rider said. And there have been changes at the top. In recent years, responsibility for transportation has been handed to the director of operations and properties. Recent director Jon Deutsch left the district in July, a crucial time for routing, and his replacement, Jim Dellwo, stayed with the district for only two months before returning to his former job in the Prior Lake-Savage school district. The new director, Glenn Simon, had no previous experience in transportation and routing. The district will spend $242,780 on the consultant and one internal router this year — $23,620 more than if the district had filled both routing positions and hired a transportation coordinator, according to Rider. The contract with Center for Efficient School Operations will provide two routers — one for special education, one for general education — as well as director and consulting services

as the district reassesses its transportation system. Board Member Jim Schmid voted against the contract, questioning its multiyear terms. “The fact that we can’t terminate is very bothersome,� he said. Board Member Robert VandenBoom also voted “no.� Rider said the Center for Efficient School Operations is hired by many metro-area districts and has been used as a consultant in 191. Board Member DeeDee Currier voiced support for the contract, saying that substandard special education transportation — an accident or misdelivery of a child — could invite lawsuits. “We’re vulnerable right now to a challenge in court — and those are very, very very expensive,� Currier said. Schmid didn’t buy the argument, saying the consultant contract doesn’t immunize the district from liability. “The liability is really neither here nor there,� he said. “The district has liability coverage.�

Eagan businesses show improved compliance with alcohol, tobacco laws by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

Eagan businesses appear to be following alcohol and tobacco laws better this year than in 2011. A recent compliance check by Eagan Police revealed that fewer Eagan businesses failed alcohol and tobacco checks in 2012, compared to the prior year. “We are happy to see the rate decrease,� said Eagan Police Chief Jim McDonald. Of the 70 businesses police checked on Oct. 24

for alcohol compliance, 11 percent failed, which is a 9 percent decrease from 2011. When officers checked 69 business on July 14, 2011, for alcohol compliance, 20 percent failed. Businesses also proved to be in better compliance with the tobacco laws this year. Of the 43 businesses checked in October for tobacco compliance, 12 percent failed. This is a slight drop from the 13 percent of businesses that failed a compliance check of 39

businesses in 2011. McDonald attributes the decline to raised awareness efforts made by the police department. Eagan Police conduct organized initiatives each year to ensure establishments with liquor and tobacco licenses sell these substances in accordance with the law. Recently, the police department received a grant from the Invitation Health Institute to help defray the costs involved in conducting alcohol compliance checks.

A decade’s worth of steady enrollment declines in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 may have finally bottomed out. The district’s Oct. 1 enrollment count, presented to the School Board Nov. 1, shows 9,529 students, a drop of 28 from the same time last year. The district is projecting yearend enrollment of 9,446. Year-end enrollments will remain basically flat for the following three years, the district projects, followed by slight upturns in 2016-7 and 2017-18, when year-end enrollment is projected at 9,490. The annual declines since 2002-03 — when Oct. 1 enrollment was 11,243, down from 11,434 the previous year — have been accompanied by large gains in nonwhite, limited-English and low-income students. The white student population has dropped from 78 percent in 2002-03 to 55 percent this fall. The percentage of black students has risen from 11 percent to 21 percent, Hispanic students from 4 percent to 13 percent and Asian/Pacific Islander students from 7 percent to 10 percent. Minority numbers are highest in the elementary grades, which are 50 percent white.

The percentage of elementary students with limited English proficiency has grown from 8 in 2002-03 to 21 this fall. The 6 percent of LEP students in the secondary grades is the same as a decade ago. A majority of elementary students — 53 percent — now qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, compared with 21 percent a decade ago. Thirty-four percent of secondary students qualify, compared with 15 percent a decade ago. Two elementary schools outdistance the other eight in percentage of low-income students: Sky Oaks, with more than 70 percent, and Hidden Valley, with more than 60 percent. Sky Oaks, the district’s most diverse school with less than 30 percent white students, has been declared “racially isolated� by the state Department of Education. “We’re seeing the free and reduced at our elementary schools increase at a much greater rate than our LEP,� Board Member Sandra Sweep said. “I think that’s just a good observation for the public.� The Oct. 1 counts show a wide range of enrollments in the elementary schools, from 699 at Harriet Bishop to 391

at Edward Neill. The board is considering an administrative recommendation for a two-zone system of elementary magnet schools, with each family choosing their school. It would help smooth out enrollment imbalances and break up concentrations of poverty, proponents say. Fall enrollment is up slightly at all but two elementaries: Edward Neill and M.W. Savage. Kindergarten and 12th grade have this year’s largest enrollments. Kindergarten is at 865 students this fall, projected to be 825 by year’s end. The senior class, at 818, is projected to drop to 774 by year’s end. As in recent years, the district continues to see an outflow of students to schoolchoice programs. In 2011-12, 1,436 of the 10,404 school-age students living in District 191 attended school elsewhere. A total of 1,136 students living in District 191 attended school elsewhere under open enrollment. A total of 564 students open-enrolled into the district, for an outflow of 572. Adjacent districts got most of 191’s exiting open enrollees. Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan got 586, Prior Lake/Savage 266, Bloomington 55 and Lakeville 51.

Fairview Ridges announces expansion The Fairview Health Services board of directors has approved plans for a major campus expansion at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. It will include a 150,000-square-foot specialty care medical office building, hospital expansion and a parking ramp. A 12- to 16-bed observation unit and new laboratory will be built. The medical office building will add space for cardiology, oncology and musculoskeletal care services. The building will also hold an ambulatory surgery center,

an imaging center, cardiac rehabilitation, a retail pharmacy and a durable medical equipment store. Space for specialty services will also be available for medical providers to lease. This is the hospital’s largest expansion since it opened in 1984. “This project has been in the planning stage for several years, and I am thrilled about the board’s decision to move forward,� said Beth Krehbiel, hospital president. “This much-needed expansion will allow us to enhance our outpatient spe-

cialty services and adapt to an aging patient population that has evolving health care concerns.� Many areas of the hospital, located at 201 E. Nicollet Blvd., and affiliated physician clinics are operating at, or even above, capacity — and the surrounding communities continue to grow. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2013 and be completed by late 2014 or early 2015. Preliminary work such as removal of excess soil is already underway.

Council lashes out again at Country Village Owner says work nearly complete by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Burnsville City Council members lashed out again Nov. 5 at Lindahl Properties, owner of the embattled Country Village Apartments. Lindahl representatives have been appearing regularly before the council, on its orders, since August, when the council set in motion a process for granting provisional licenses to the west Burnsville complex’s six buildings. The city revoked the 138unit complex’s rental license in January, after months of enforcement actions failed to satisfy the city that Lindahl had corrected widespread property and fire code violations. After the complex was shut down in March and residents were forced to leave, Lindahl began in earnest to repair the buildings. In August, the council granted a provisional license for one of three renovated buildings, with the rest to be granted on a staggered basis as buildings were completed. The deadline for completion is Dec. 31. Only the last and largest building remains to be finished and inspected, Lindahl representatives told the council Nov. 5. Under the staggered system, three of

There may be code problems with window-locking mechanisms on the last building. Fire Marshal Lee LaTourelle raised the concern after a recent visit to the complex, Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner said. It’s uncertain whether parts can be obtained in time to meet the Dec. 31 deadline, she indicated. When the other buildings were renovated, the contractor took window parts from the building now being worked on, Faulkner said. Council Member Mary Sherry warned Lindahl representatives to not strip window parts from completed buildings to meet code in the last one. The notion is “abhorrent,” Sherry said. “However, nothing surprises me with this group – nothing,” she said. The provisional licenses expire Dec. 31. Country Village and all rental properties in Burnsville must apply annually for rental licenses. Country Village buildings that don’t meet code by Dec. 31 will trigger fines of $100 per building, per day, under terms the council set when it granted the first provisional licenses in August.

the six buildings won’t be licensed until all six pass inspection. “We plan to have it all done by the 13th, and we plan to have all of you come and see it before the next (council) meeting” on Nov. 20, said Ann Lindahl, a limited partner in Lindahl Properties, whose mother, Delores, is general partner. But as the discussion continued, it was revealed that construction manager Jim Martenson had departed for another job. That angered council members, who view a stable construction manager as crucial to finishing a job that had already gone through one construction firm. Lindahl and attorney Doug Turner, who was filling in for the family’s regular attorney, Bruce Malkerson, insisted the heaviest work was done and Martenson was no longer needed. “We don’t need a construction manager to come in and clean apartments,” Turner said. Delores Lindahl is managing the property, and Lindahl Properties employees are finishing the work, Turner said. “We hate to see that the professionals were pulled out and the amateurs were brought in” to finish the job, Council Member Dan Kealey said.

Constitutional amendments fail

SAVING

s

“This is so can-do,” said Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, speaking on Senate Media Services recently. Kiffmeyer, during a recent appearance on Twin Cities Public Television’s “Almanac,” suggested a substantial equivalency provision could have had those voting by mail simply using a coded password in order to meet the requirements of the amendment. Democrats panned photo ID as a full-employment provision for attorneys, arguing it would attract lawsuits like a magnet. Estimate costs of implementing photo ID have ranged from almost trivial to $100 million.

11/4•2802898R•ABF

As if placing exclamations mark on a disastrous Election Day for Minnesota Republicans, voters rejected two amendments the Republican-controlled Legislature placed on the ballot. The high-profile marriage amendment, aimed at defining marriage in the state constitution as union of man and woman, with 99 percent of state precincts reporting had 47.64 percent no votes – short of the 50 percent “Yes” level constitutional amendments generally need to pass. “Today, the people of Minnesota spoke loudly and clearly and became the first state in the country to defeat this kind of hurtful, freedom-limiting amendment,” said Richard Carlbom, Minnesotans United for All Families campaign manager. “They said no to limiting the freedom of committed and loving couples in Minnesota, they said no to singling out and excluding one group of people from a basic freedom just because of who they are, and they said no to telling some people it’s illegal to marry the person they love,” he said. The second ballot question, photo ID, designed to require voters to show photo identification at the polls, mustered 46.37 percent. The marriage amendment was rejected in Dakota County with 125,704 no votes to 103,246 yes votes. More Dakota County voters though said yes to the voter ID amendment with 115,951 yes votes to 112,451 no votes. Not only did the two ballot questions fail, but Republicans have lost control of the Minnesota Legislature. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Kurt Bills, Rosemount, lost to Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar by a historically wide margin. And Eighth District U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack lost re-election to former Congressman Rick Nolan. Democrats, such as Sen. Terri Bonoff, DFLMinnetonka, warned earlier in the campaign season the marriage amendment would come back to bite Republicans in some suburban areas. House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, more recently argued voters had “departmentalized” the amendments as separate to the business of selecting candidates. The grassroots efforts

partner in a different state, described the amendment as “hurtful and very divisive,” speaking recently on Senate Media Services. Dibble argued its passage would shut down the conversation on same-sex marriage. The amendment wrongly subjected gays and lesbians to a hyper-scrutiny that opposite-sex couples are never subjected to, Dibble argued. “It says I get to vote on your marriage,” Dibble said. Although less visceral than the marriage amendment, photo ID was hotly contested — many Democrats view it as a cloaked means of suppressing traditional Democratic voting blocs. But Republicans argued the provision is really common sense.

surrounding the marriage amendment may have been the most intense in state history, some Democrats believe. Minnesotans United for All Families, an umbrella group for unions, churches, businesses, and others opposing the marriage amendment, put out some 45,000 “Vote No” signs and raised more than $11 million, according to media reports. Emails to supporters flowed out of from the group almost daily. A recent SurveyUSA tracking poll showed the “No” vote on the marriage amendment at 48 percent — within the margin of error, but a point ahead of the “Yes” vote. Pro marriage amendment Minnesota for Marriage, a coalition including many religious groups, evangelical, Catholic, others, insisted months ago their polling showed the amendment with substantial leads. They pointed regions like the Democratic-leaning Iron Range as a fertile area of support for the amendment. Minnesota for Marriage expected to be outspent and was. Media reports have the group bringing in just under $4 million in contributions. The proposed amendments have been percolating at the State Capitol for years, former Republican state Sen. Michele Bachmann, later congresswoman, rose to prominence through championing the marriage amendment. More recent supporters, such as Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, argue such a basic social issue as marriage should not be left to judges and lawmakers to decide. “I think it’s important to have the public involved,” Limmer said on a Senate Media program. Supporters believe enshrining the amendment in the state constitution would serve to ward-off legal challenges to existing so-called Defense of Marriage laws. Regardless whether the marriage amendment passed or failed, same-sex marriage would remain illegal in Minnesota. The state Supreme Court ruled against samesex marriage decades ago. Limmer views same-sex marriage as historically a telltale sign of societal decline. “It seems that society doesn’t last long,” Limmer said recently. Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis, a gay legislator who married his

Chris Gerlach, Apple Valley, and Mike Slavik, Hastings, will join the Dakota County Board of Commissioners after each handily won contested races to fill open seats left by longtime incumbents Joe Harris and Will Branning. According to unofficial voting results from Dakota County, Slavik, a Hastings City Council member, won the seat Harris held for 32 years with 16,355 votes, 57.9 percent of ballots cast in the race. Challenger Christy Jo Fogarty, a Farmington City Council member, earned 11,715 votes, 41.5 percent of ballots cast. County results also found Gerlach earned 15,625 votes, 59.9 percent of ballots in that race, and Victoria Swanson received 10,300 votes, 39.5 percent. Incumbent County Commissioners Liz Workman (see related story) and Nancy Schouweiler also won re-election in contested races held in newly drawn district boundaries. In an interview, Slavik thanked voters, and reiterated his pledge to represent all areas of the county’s largest and most diverse district. He said he would attend local meetings, and identified as his top priority getting to know and working with the diverse groups in the district that include rural townships and cities, large and small. “I will be at city council and township meetings,” Slavik said. “I will be that representative of the county to the cities and townships. It is my priority to introduce myself and be available and present.” The remaining two years of Slavik’s second term on

the Hastings City Council will be filled by an appointment process, that will likely include candidate interviews with council members, Slavik said. Gerlach, Apple Valley, a former Minnesota state senator, said Dakota County is well-run, and he is looking forward to keeping the county a good place to live and work. “I’m pleased and thankful that my district chose to keep me at work doing what I think is good work on their behalf,” Gerlach said of the Apple Valley and portion of Rosemount district he will serve. He added that his legislative experience could be valuable in county-state relations. “Even though there is now a DFL majority, I still know what motivates legislators and what they’re thinking,” Gerlach said. “I think that will be useful to the board and that’s something I want to participate in.” Schouweiler, an Inver Grove Heights resident on the County Board since 1999, was in a close race against fiscally conservative challenger and longtime Inver Grove Heights City Council Member Bill Klein. She won in the District and includes portions of Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount and Eagan, with 13,158 votes, 50.6 percent of votes cast in the race; Klein earned 12,689 votes or 48.8 percent, according to results reported by Dakota County. Workman, of Burnsville, easily won a second term in office, earning 15,363 votes, 61.89 percent of the 24,822 ballots cast in the District 5 race, according to Dakota County’s election results.

Challenger Dave Giles, a Dakota County highway maintenance worker, earned 9,308 votes, 37.49 percent. In interviews, Schouweiler and Workman expressed gratitude to voters. “I’m so grateful because I will be able to continue on with three big projects that I’ve recently started,” Schouweiler said. One is her role as chair of the National Association of Counties Justice and Public Safety Committee; another is chair of Minnesota’s Public Health Work Group on Mental Health; and finally her position as the only county commissioner to serve on the state task force reviewing sex offender civil commitment issues. “Those are three big things, and I really am excited about my role in them,” Schouweiler said. She said her goals in Dakota County are for the Robert Street transit corridor project, improving mental health services, and continuing work on conservation easements in the county. “I’m grateful for being able to work with this great board and staff at the county,” she said. “They really make my work enjoyable.” County Commissioners Tom Egan, Eagan, and Paul Krause, Lakeville, ran unopposed in their redrawn districts. Krause volunteered last spring for his seat to be temporarily designated a two-year term to allow staggered terms on the board, and it will be up for election in 2014.

Region’s ski areas in flurry of activity readying for winter by Leah Smith MURPHY NEWS SERVICE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION

Snowmakers began blowing wet, white snow at the Taylors Falls Wild Mountain Ski Area in early October. The thick layer of artificial snow coating the front two runs of the park made Wild Mountain officially the first ski resort in North America to open its gates to skiers and snowboarders. “The temperature had gotten down to 15 degrees so we turned on the snow,” Kevin Starr, general manager of Wild Mountain Ski Area, said. Starr added that Wild Mountain has been open at night during the week and on the weekends and that business had been good and consistent. The Wild Mountain rope tows were overloaded with red-cheeked skiers and snowboarders, mostly snowboarders on a recent weekend. Two employees had to be called down to regulate the flow.

The atmosphere felt like a party. Groups of hardcore snowboarders were all laughing and shouting in the sheer exuberance of being out in the snow in early October. Slushy snowballs flew through the air, sometimes landing on a goodnatured passerby. Eager jumpers piled up snow for their own jumps. The lines for the rope tows were teeming with stamping, flopping athletes, eager to hone their skills for the upcoming season. However, there is still some speculation about how snowy this season will be. “It is very, very difficult to create a long-range forecast,” Patrick Hammer, a meteorologist at KSTP-TV said. “By mid-November we usually have a better idea of what winter will be like.” Ski resorts around the Twin Cities are gearing up in hopeful anticipation of early snow or even below freezing temperatures. Don McClure at Buck Hill said they wait until the temperature gets down

to the 20s before they start making snow. “The area around Wild Mountain has lower temperatures because it’s situated so close to the St. Croix River,” McClure said. “I watch the weather like a hawk,” McClure said, “just waiting for the temperatures to drop.” The story was the same at Trollhaugen in Dresser, Wis. “We’re ready to go as soon as the temperature goes below freezing and the humidity drops,” Jim Rothford, base operations manager for Trollhaugen, said. They have to create the same conditions as nature would for it to snow. On the bright side, there is hope for a snowy winter. Because last winter was relatively light in snowfall, there’s a better chance that this winter will have more snow, Hammer said. Leah Smith is studying journalism at the University of Minnesota.

If there’s a difference between the concerts Bill Lauf Jr. is doing now and the ones he was doing 30 years ago, it’s that these days there isn’t quite as much walking involved. Back in 1980, Lauf, a singer-songwriter who plays the tenor (four-string) guitar, teamed up with fellow musician Horace Williams to create the Follow the Fire “minstrel walks,� three successive musical walking tours of New England and Quebec.

Bluebirds catch flight in Dakota County Rosemount residents help set record year for Minnesota Bluebird Recovery Program by Leah Smith

In Brief

MURPHY NEWS SERVICE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION

This year marks a record number of bluebird fledglings for the nonprofit Minnesota Bluebird Recovery Program, state coordinator Carrol Johnson said. The early spring brought the bluebirds back in March from where they migrate in Texas, he said. Besides the warm weather, Johnson also said a number of double and triple nestings occurred this year. One avid Minnesota bluebirder in Rosemount, Gerilyn Mauck, said she had her first nesting as early as March 17 of this year. She recorded eight, possibly 10, successful fledges from her two houses this year. Bluebirds typically fledge – first fly away from their nest box – about 16 to 21 days after hatching. Tom Sherwood and Ron Guck are two bluebirders from Hastings who also had record years. Sherwood has been a part of the recovery program for three years. Guck helped Sherwood get his start with bluebirds. Sherwood recorded 67 fledges this year, despite the fact that he started a little late in the season. With Guck’s help, he has grown a passion for helping bluebirds. “I just love seeing the life in the bluebirds as they hatch, grow and fly away,” Sherwood said. Guck, a groundskeeper for

They’ve focused on social issues and other manipulative agendas, rather than getting the

Bluebird houses are fashioned in such a way that it prevents other birds and predators from using or entering the house. Bellwood Oaks Golf Club in Hastings, said he caught the bluebird bug eight or nine years ago when he peeked inside a dilapidated bird house and saw baby bluebirds shivering in the wet and the cold. He decided to build a better house for them. By the end of the year, he had built 30 houses. Then he built 30 more the next year. Now he has 135 houses in the Hastings area. Guck recorded 445 fledges this year, a record for him. “Another important figure that I find interesting,” Guck said, “is

state to move forward.” Carlson said he believes voters were turned off by the recent state shutdown, constitutional amendment questions and negative campaigning by Republicans. Tuesday’s election handed both chambers of the Legislature to Democrats. The Eagan resident credits his consistency, ethics and honesty to his win. “I haven’t changed my message,” he said. “There’s been no bait and switch on my agenda.” Carlson said his top priority next legislative session will be to create a balanced and sustainable state budget

that 218 of those fledglings were within the city limits.” The nest boxes from which these fledges occurred resided next to clear, grassy areas, by parks, or even in the middle of a residential neighborhood. “It doesn’t bother them to be surrounded by a bunch of people or construction,” Guck said. “I’ve even reached into a nest, picked up the mama bird to count her eggs, and set her back down without a fuss.” Guck will keep up with his bluebirds, as well as his other vol-

Despite losing his Senate seat, Daley remained upbeat. “It’s a great day to be alive,” said the Iraq and Gulf War veteran. “I’m disappointed and wish I would have won. In the end I didn’t quite come out in first place, but I feel fortunate.

But he loves it. “It’s so amazing to watch all the little bluebirds just shoot out of their nests like little bullets and fly away when they’re finally ready,” Guck said of the important step for them into adulthood. This year, Flint Hills Resources in Rosemount reported the 20 bluebird boxes on its 500 acres of restored habitat on the Mississippi River had 89 fledglings – a company record. The past 10 years has produced an average of 50 fledglings per year.

chapter in his life.

DFLers take House seats Masin, defeated Anderson Tuesday by taking 55.49 percent (11,724) of the vote in District 51A, while Anderson received 44.28 percent (9,354). “I’m elated,” Masin said. “I look forward to having the opportunity to work with a governor who most people believes is trying to do a good job.” When Masin was elected in 2006, she was among the majority in the Legislature but often butted heads with Republican Gov. Tim

CITY, from 1A and dislikes.” Willenburg, 56, who twice ran for City Council and once for District 191 School Board before his strong showing in the 2008 mayoral race, said he’s unlikely to run for mayor again. “I think it’s important that people have a choice,” said Willenburg, whose 2008 bid was supported by Charlie Crichton, the late council member, fiscal hawk and foe of both the Heart of the City redevelopment and the $20 million Performing Arts Center. “I think when there is a viable candidate, it holds the incumbent to task. And I think I’ve done that. I think it’s time for somebody else to step up, and I’ll support them.” He points to vacancies in the mixed-use Heart of the City and contends that it’s not a “failure” but it “isn’t working, and it needs to be addressed.” The Performing Arts Center is an “old issue, but it’s still an issue,” Willen-

Sherry burg said. It costs the city about $1.7 million a year, he said: “That’s a lot for a community our size.” Kautz acknowledged there’s been a core of dissent in Burnsville that dates back to opposition to a riverfront amphitheater proposal the council approved in 2000. The project faced mass opposition in Bloomington and Burnsville and a Court of Appeals setback, and was never built. The 2008 election was infused with dissent over the Kautz-championed Performing Arts Center, which had been approved but had yet to be built. “And yet there are people who want leadership with vision, leaders that are optimistic and leaders that will make things happen,”

Buffalo gnats suck the blood from baby bluebirds, for instance. Someone discovered that spraying pure vanilla on the nest and onto the bluebirds themselves solved that problem. Sparrows and wrens present another problem as they can overtake bluebird houses. Since sparrows can only fly in a straight line and bluebirds can fly at an angle, a downward-angled door helped to solve that issue. Raccoons are pests, too. They climb up to the nests and kill the birds. After experimentation, bluebirders found that if a very thin pole, covered in car wax, is used to support the nest boxes, the raccoons can’t shimmy up to the nests. The program began in 1979 as a part of the Minneapolis chapter of the National Audubon Society. The society formed the Minnesota Bluebird Recovery Program. More than 1,000 members are in the Minnesota program, Johnson said.

Pawlenty. Masin said she is eager to work with a Democratic governor. Her priorities this session will be stabilizing the state budget, finding stable funding for schools and to promote environmental protection solutions, Masin said. Anderson could not reached for comment. Halverson, defeated Wardlow with 51.88 percent (12,210) of the vote in District 51B. Wardlow, a first-term House member, received 48.01 percent (11,298). “I’m really excited to have this amazing opportu-

nity to represent the people of Eagan,” Halverson said. The Eagan resident said she plans to put education as a top priority and to reach across the aisle to get things done. “I don’t want partisanship to get in the way,” she said. “I think partisan divisiveness makes people feel they are not part of the process, and I want to bring people back in.” Wardlow could not be reached for comment.

Kautz said. “There is a Bible verse that says where there is no vision, the people perish. You Nguyen must have a vision and good strategic direction.” Sherry, the lone incumbent in the four-way race for two council seats, was the top vote-getter with 32.3 percent of the vote. She said she has worked to provide a “balance point” on the council among competing factions. Replacing top management at City Hall will be a key priority for the next council, she said. City Manager Craig Ebeling is expected to retire sometime in the first half of 2013. “As a council member who’s served four years, it’s my hope that the culture that exists in the city staff at City Hall continues,” said Sherry, 72. “I am very impressed with the brainpower, from the very top all the way down to the peo-

ple who patch the streets. They’re smart people, and they take initiative and they take pride in their work.” Nguyen got 23.1 percent of the vote, narrowly outpolling ex-Council Member Steve Cherney, who got 22.3 percent. “I come to the table without a personal agenda, and I’m looking forward to working with everyone to continue to make the city the best it can be,” said Nguyen, 50. Kautz, outgoing Council Member Dan Gustafson and Dakota County Commissioner Liz Workman of Burnsville supported her campaign, Nguyen said. A strong backer of the Performing Arts Center, Nguyen said she hopes for “some creative ways that we can get financial support and make it even better than it is.” Bruce Johnson received 21.9 percent of the vote.

Attack mailing roiled Burnsville mayoral race Undetermined party sent mailing against Kautz by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Burnsville mayoral candidate Jerry Willenburg is challenging his opponent, Elizabeth Kautz, to apologize for her statement attributing a pre-election attack mailing to his campaign. In a Nov. 2 Star Tribune article, Kautz is depicted as blaming Willenburg for a citywide mailing of a flier leveling attacks at the mayor’s conduct in office. The flier bears the name of the “Coalition of Better Businesses in Burnsville” and doesn’t include Willenburg’s name. Reached Monday morning, Kautz told Sun Thisweek: “I’m not accusing him, but there are only two candidates. Who’s behind it? It would be sup-

porters of Mr. Willenburg, would it not? Because there are only two candidates.” City Clerk Macheal Brooks is taking steps to investigate whether the mailing violates state campaign finance law. The Nov. 6 Kautz-Willenburg rematch follows the closest election of the mayor’s 17-year career in 2008, when she defeated Willenburg by four percentage points. “It’s an unpleasant turn of affairs that we have gotten to this kind of malicious tactics in Burnsville,” Kautz said of the flier. “Never, never in this history of this community have we gotten this malicious, nasty and hateful.” In a statement Sunday night, Willenburg repeated what he’d told the Star Tribune: He had no knowledge of the mailing. Willenburg said in the statement he had planned

CHIEF, from 1A was promoted to officer, was promoted to sergeant, was promoted to captain. And now he’s going to be Burnsville’s sixth police chief. “Eric has excelled at every position he has held. But even more important than that, he’s just a good man. It’s always about the organization and the community; it’s never about him. He’s extremely humble.” Gieseke grew up in Brooklyn Park admiring cops and fascinated by police work. The liaison officer at his junior high, a Champlin cop, encouraged Gieseke to try out for a gymnastics program he ran. The experience landed him at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on a gymnastics scholarship. After earning a psychology degree, Gieseke got his Minnesota law-enforcement certificate and was hired in Burnsville. Upon being promoted to officer in 1991, he called his old mentor with the news. Gieseke worked patrol for 12 years, mostly the night shift, and was a field training officer for many

to send out 10,000 of his own campaign literature pieces but couldn’t raise the money. Willenburg accused the mayor of “slander” and challenged her to call a press conference and apologize no later than 4 p.m. Monday. He indicated he would stand side by side with her. “I would make a brief statement accepting her apology and encouraging the residents of Burnsville to search their hearts and minds and make an informed decision on Tuesday,” said Willenburg’s email statement, which he sent to Kautz, the other members of the City Council, City Manager Craig Ebeling and Burnsville media. There would be no press conference, Kautz said. The four-sided mailing accuses Kautz of underreporting losses at the Burnsville Performing Arts

years, working and riding with new cops. “Five or six of our current sergeants are folks I helped train,” said Gieseke, who also served on the SWAT team for a decade. “So good relationships are in place.” He was promoted to sergeant in 2003 and to captain in 2006, succeeding his own field training officer, Brad Leach. He was operations captain for four years and for the last two has been captain of investigations and community resources, Gieseke said. He holds a master’s degree in criminal justice leadership from Concordia University, is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, was named Burnsville’s Officer of the Year in 2002 and was named state Officer of the Year in 2003 by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association. “I never dreamed I’d be the police chief here when I started,” said Gieseke, who will earn a $114,000 salary leading a department of 75 sworn officers and 19 civilian employees. “My goal was just to be a

Kautz dismisses the allegations, saying, for example, that the financial performance of the PAC is in audited reports and that conflict-of-interest allegations over construction of a road refer to a 2002 project. She worked for Aravia for five months in 2004 and left the company because it wasn’t meeting its contract

great cop. Things have worked out for me.” He’s credited with playing a key role in Burnsville’s pioneering use in Minnesota of on-officer cameras. “It’s been a good tool for the department,” said Gieseke, who lives in Lakeville with his wife and their two children. “Obviously, it preserves the truth and records exactly what the event is that officers are involved with.” Gieseke will be replaced as captain by Sgt. Jef Behnken, who started as a Burnsville cadet in 1990. Capt. Werner’s replacement is Tanya Schwartz, who was promoted from sergeant in September. Burnsville’s first female police captain, she started as a community service officer in 1995. “That is going to be an amazing administrative team,” Hawkins said.

terms with her, Kautz said. “I realize and I am sympathetic to what the Mayor is going through,” Willenburg’s statement said, but “that does not give her the right to assign the blame to me for this action. We are at the threshold of the election and it is virtually impossible to undo the damage done to me by the false allegation by the Mayor.” The flier, he wrote, includes statements “that I have no firsthand knowledge of, and as such I have never addressed anywhere, nor would I or have I speculated as to the accuracy of those items.” Kautz maintains there are indications, such as a Facebook posting from Willenburg and phrases used on his campaign website, that he was aware of the topics in the flier. She maintains he was in a position to stop the mailing. The mailing went out in

late October, addressed in some cases to “Resident” and in others to specific people. State law requires candidates and election-related committees to file with the proper election authority within 14 days of raising or spending at least $750, according to Brooks. As of Monday she hadn’t received a filing from the “Coalition of Better Business of Burnsville.” She said she began counting down the 14 days from two weekends ago, an approximation of when the mailings went out. If she doesn’t get a filing by Friday, Nov. 12, she said she’ll file a complaint with the state Office of Administrative Hearings.

“The face of the district will be changing,” said Sweep, who was endorsed by the Burnsville Education Association and the Burnsville Athletic Club. “It has to. We have great curriculum, we have great teachers, but we don’t have equity among our buildings, and that trickles down to the students sitting in the desks.” Trailers in the race for four-year terms were Steve Dove (13.8 percent), Mark “MR. TEAK” Traikoff (13.1 percent), Mark Korman (11.1 percent) and Seema Pothini (11 percent). Trailers in the race for the two-year term were Joshua Mathews (32.3 percent) and Tom McCasey (30.3 percent).

vote-getter in a seven-way race for three, four-year seats. Sweep got 18.9 percent of the vote, followed by Hill (16.1 percent) and one-term incumbent DeeDee Currier (15.5 percent). In a three-way race for a two-year seat, Robert VandenBoom, a board appointee, was returned with 36.6 percent of the vote. “We’ve tried to move forward” from the boardapproved Chance buyout, Sweep said. “We weren’t in control of that situation, but we tried to handle it the best way we could. I stand by the decision we made, but there was no good decision.” Educational equity — correcting school-byschool imbalances in student diversity and income status — is a pressing issue, Hill and Sweep agreed.

Business Walser to replace Honda dealership by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Road and Crystal Lake Road and Walser Experience Autos at Burnhaven Drive and Burkards Drive — will remain. “The proposal is a substantial redevelopment of an aging dealership,” said a city staff report. Walser is “investing into the site and the Burnsville community.” A distinctive windmill on the property will also come down. It used to generate power for the dealership but hasn’t for several years because replacement parts weren’t available. The dealership at 14800 Buck Hill Road was built as a Buick dealership in 1981 and converted to Honda in the 1990s. In 1987 a Ford dealership was built next door at 14900 Buck Hill Road. In 1993 it was converted to Lincoln Mercury, and in 2006 it began selling Subarus. Walser bought both dealerships in 2007 and later moved Subaru to its current north Burnsville location at 600 W. 121st St.

After a delay imposed by the economic downturn, Walser Honda will rebuild its new-car dealership at 14800 Buck Hill Road in Burnsville. The City Council approved a planned unit development amendment Nov. 5 allowing the redevelopment on the Walser Automotive Group property north of Crystal Lake Road between Buck Hill Road and Burnhaven Drive. “I think it’s a sign the economy is coming back – maybe a little slowly, but it’s coming back,” City Planner Chris Slania said. In 2008 Walser gained council approval to raze three buildings on the property and replace them with a single 80,000-square-foot building. The economy halted that plan. This time, Walser plans to demolish its new-car dealership at Buck Hill Road and Burkards Drive and replace it with a 52,800-square foot dealership, repair and parts John Gessner can be reached center and car wash.

She gets back in the game Announcements A new approach to hip surgery speeds recovery time by Kevin Somekawa MURPHY NEWS SERVICE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION

Total hip replacement is a major surgery that can result in serious complications, but thanks to the recently developed SuperPATH technique recipients of the surgery may not have as much to worry about. Kay Schmidt didn’t think much of the twinges and tightness that began in 2011 in her groin and hips, only that she might have overdone herself on the treadmill. That changed when those twinges culminated in some real pain at the beginning of this year. “In January, at a Super Bowl party, I couldn’t get up the stairs. I had to use the handrail,” said the 64-yearold Rosemount resident. “I was in pain every step I took since January.” An MRI revealed arthritis in both of Schmidt’s hips, bad news for someone with an active daily routine. The pain in her joints prevented Schmidt from doing her morning stretches and exercise on the treadmill, taking long walks with her husband and their dog, and operating the daycare that she started more than 40 years ago. “I couldn’t bend over to pick up toys,” she said. “I knew I couldn’t go on like that.” When anti-inflammatory pills and cortisone shots failed to alleviate her pain for more than a day or two at a time, Schmidt took the advice of her doctor and went to discuss her options with Dr. Dean Olsen, an orthopedic surgeon who operates at St. Francis Hospital in Shakopee. Olsen is one of seven surgeons in the United States licensed to perform the SuperPATH hip replacement technique. He recommended it to Schmidt without ever going over traditional hip replacement and has gone as far as to say he “will never do it any other way.” This is a strong statement especially coming from a surgeon who has performed traditional hip replacements for 17 years, but the benefits of the SuperPATH technique are significant. In comparison with other hip replacement methods,

WARNING WATER AERATION SYSTEM OPERATION CITY OF APPLE VALLEY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an aeration system, creating open water and thin ice, will begin operating on Lake Alimagnet in the Cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville, Dakota County, Minnesota; as early as December 1, 2012, and continue through March 30, 2013. The system is installed at the southeast corner of the lake, in Alimagnet Park, in Apple Valley. Weather conditions may cause the areas of thin ice and open water to fluctuate greatly.

Kay Schmidt, who had a new hip replacement surgery recently, walks near her Rosemount home. recipients of the SuperPATH surgery can expect a shorter hospital stay, less recovery time, and less formal physical therapy. In addition, there are no movement restrictions involved after SuperPATH whereas other techniques may limit the ways in which a person can move their hip after the operation. One important difference between SuperPATH and the other techniques is SuperPATH has the hip implant built inside of the body instead of outside, meaning that the hip never needs to be dislocated or forced into any unnatural positions during surgery. This ensures the procedure is as minimally invasive as possible. Olsen referred to this as the “ship in a bottle” technique. The principle says less aggravation during the surgery means less reha-

bilitation afterward, and Schmidt was able to experience this firsthand when she woke up from her operation. “Four hours after my surgery I was walking and they said I could do anything I wanted,” she said. Schmidt had her surgery on a Friday. By Sunday she was home. During the first week she was able to go up and down the stairs with the assistance of a cane, and in the second week she mainly used the cane outside for stabilization. By the fourth week she didn’t use the cane at all. Though physical therapy can be a painful ordeal particularly after a major surgery like hip replacement, Schmidt spoke lightly about her experience going twice a week. “The physical therapist was pretty amazed with it,” she said. “Things we were doing in the first and second week were things that are normally done in the sixth week.” After five weeks of physical therapy that mainly involved stretching and strength building, Schmidt was once again able to walk the two miles she used to with her husband and their dog. The SuperPATH hip replacement technique was finalized in June. Olsen estimated that he is now nearing 200 completed surgeries using the technique. While this figure may seem notable there are still only seven surgeons in the United States able to perform SuperPATH. Olsen isn’t sure how long the method will take to catch on despite its advantages.

“I don’t know how fast it will be,” he said. “It’s a big commitment for surgeons to make such a big change in their practice.” Olsen noted that to approach a surgeon and tell them that there is a better way to do what they have been doing for years would not be the right way to spread the use of this innovative technique and that just telling a surgeon something is better will not likely change their mind. “Surgeons have very strong opinions; we’re a dogmatic bunch,” he said with a laugh. Wright Medical Technology, the orthopedic implants manufacturer that patented SuperPATH and the instruments required for it, held its first class teaching the technique in September. Olsen wasn’t sure exactly how many people attended and how much exposure the technique really received, but the class was one of the first steps in extending the opportunity of a less invasive hip surgery to more people who need it. Olsen and his six colleagues around the nation will continue to perform the SuperPATH hip replacement technique and try to produce patients like Kay Schmidt who are just happy to have their normal lives back. “I’m really glad I had it done and I feel great,” she said. “It’s been fun to play with the little ones again.”

Second chance brings first title for Lightning Eastview outlasts Blaine in state boys soccer final Eastview outlasts Blaine in state boys soccer final by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Eastview and Blaine were profiles in persistence last week at the Metrodome. For Eastview, it was a triumph just to get back there after losing in the state boys soccer championship game one year earlier. The Lightning got its title this time, but not before holding off a Blaine team that just kept coming. For two teams that weren’t necessarily expected to be there, they gave fans an exciting battle in the Class AA boys soccer final. After a physical duel featuring multiple scoring opportunities by both teams, Eastview prevailed in the Nov. 1 game, edging Blaine 3-2 on senior

Eagan cross country runs fast, comes in second Wildcat girls have school’s best state cross country finish by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Five girls from Eagan High School ran in the 2011 and 2012 state Class AA cross country meets. All five had considerably faster times this year than last. And that might well have locked up a state championship for the Wildcats, if not for a spectacular performance by Wayzata. The Trojans placed five runners in the top 19 in the team competition to win on Saturday at St. Olaf College. Wayzata had 50 points to 93 for the Wildcats, whose secondplace finish was the best in school history at the state cross country meet. Eagan went into the state meet ranked first in Class AA, with Wayzata second. Eagan had not lost to a team from Minnesota all season. The only other time Eagan and Wayzata were in the same race, the Wildcats finished ahead of the Trojans at the Roy Griak Invitational. Instead of wondering if anything went wrong, Eagan’s runners and coaches left the state meet saying they were satisfied they had given it their best shot. “We ran very well. It just wasn’t quite enough,” said senior Danielle Anderson, Eagan’s No. 1 runner. “Wayzata had a great race.” The second-place finish at state shows how far the program has come in a relatively short time, coach Lisa Langenhahn said. “When I took over the program 10 years ago we were one of the bottom teams in our conference,” Langenhahn said. “Now we’re second in the state. It took a lot of dedicated runners to get us here. We wanted to do well at state, and this is awesome.” Anderson was fourth overall and second among runners in the team competition in the 4,000-meter race. Her time, 14 minutes, 6.5 seconds, was more than 30 sec-

Shakopee senior Maria Hauger ran a state meet-record 13:42 to win her fourth consecutive Class AA individual championship. Eagan sophomore Karina Johnson was 13th among runners in the team competition in 14:51.1, with teammate Raissa Hansen placing 14th in 14:53.4. Anna Van Wyk (27th, 15:12.9),

Kelli Praska (37th, 15:21.8), Elizabeth Frick (66th, 15:38.2) and Olivia Mitchell (79th, 15:48.9) also competed at state for Eagan. Senior Bridget McGivern and junior Reilly Hostager were alternates. Eagan qualified for the state team competition last year and finished ninth, which had been the best finish in school history before last week. It also got the returning runners thinking about what was possible the following year, and

they began training accordingly. “We all got together and ran during the summer,” Anderson said. “That helped a lot. Not just for training, but we became close as a team.” “It made us more like a family,” Johnson said. Now Eagan has to figure out how to stay near the top.

Eastview jumps on Eastview boys eighth Mounds View mistakes at state cross country by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Going on the road to play the best football teams from the Suburban East Conference failed to intimidate Eastview or Rosemount. Rosemount defeated Stillwater, the Suburban East co-champion, 7-6 in a second-round Class 6A playoff game last Friday. Meanwhile in Mounds View, Eastview scored the final 19 points of the game in a 36-21 victory over the Mustangs, the other Suburban East co-champion. Those games were just part of a successful week for South Suburban Conference teams, which went 5-0 in second-round playoff games. For Eastview, the victory over Mounds View means a spot in the state playoffs for the fifth time overall and first time since 2009. The Lightning will play Wayzata in a Class 6A quarterfinal game at 5 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Metrodome. Wayzata received the No. 2 seed, while Eastview is unseeded. Eastview (6-3) jumped on

Mounds View mistakes to erase a 14-10 halftime deficit. The Mustangs lost three fumbles in the second half. Sophomore running back Will Rains pounded away at the Mounds View defense, finishing with 190 yards and four touchdowns. In two playoff games, he has 385 yards and seven scores. His 6-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the third quarter put the Lightning ahead to stay against Mounds View. Eastview’s final score came on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Mark Dwyer to Henry McIsaac. Sam Fluegge added a 42-yard field goal. Wayzata (8-1) averages more than 35 points a game. The Trojans’ only loss was to Edina, which is the No. 1 seed in the state quarterfinals. Wayzata defeated Eastview 24-7 in the second game of the regular season. Since then, the Trojans have lost their top running back, Mitch Underhill, to a knee injury.

Eastview finished almost precisely in the middle of the pack – eighth of 16 teams – at the state Class AA boys cross country meet Saturday at St. Olaf College. The Lightning got to state for the first time in five years by finishing second to Rosemount at the Section 3AA meet. Eastview’s best team finish at state remains a fifth place in 2007. Nick Oelke, a senior, led Eastview by finishing 18th among runners in the team competition and 43rd overall in 16 minutes, 18.1 seconds. Oelke earned All-State recognition in the 2011 Class AA meet but missed it this time by about 11 seconds. The Lightning’s No. 2 through No. 4 runners at state also were seniors. John Donlan was 21st among team competition runners in 16:27.3. Dan Spika (43rd, 16:46.4) and Zach Tollefson (54th, 17:53.6) were next to finish the 5,000-meter course.

Neither did Lakeville South, which finished second to Eagan in the South Suburban Conference meet. “I think we definitely can be back here next year, but we know it’ll take a lot of work,” Johnson said.

Sophomore Shane Bernhardson (97th, 17:53.6) also counted toward the Lightning’s 233-point team total. Juniors Joey Beran (109th, 18:26.0) and Brett Jones (110th, 18:33.6) also ran for the Lightning. Rosemount, the other South Suburban Conference team to qualify for the Class AA boys meet, finished fifth with 152 points.

Eastview girls Two Eastview ninth-graders, Margie Freed and Laura Bestul, made their debuts at the state Class AA girls meet and finished in the top half of a 174-runner field. Freed finished 35th in 14:55.7 on the 4,000-meter course. She was just eight seconds from earning AllState recognition, which goes to the top 25 finishers. Bestul ran 15:20.2 to place 73rd.

Opheim described himself as the beneficiary of great playmaking by teammates. “The first one, Sam (Fluegge) kicked a perfect ball – right to my head,” he said. “When you get it in that position, you have a good chance to score. “The second one, Pierce (Erickson) put it on my foot in front of the goal. You’ve got to finish those.” Eastview High School, which opened in 1997, did not win a state championship in a boys sport until June 2012. But now the school has state titles in three different boys sports (lacrosse, baseball and soccer) in five months. While others might have written off Eastview, the Lightning soccer players thought they had a chance to build another good team. “We go into every year with our expectations high,” Fluegge said. “We all have the talent. And it’s great to have it end this way.” Gustafson said the team’s competitive fire probably was even more important than its ability. “There were games when we were out-possessed,” the coach said. “But I don’t think we were ever out-chanced, and our guys take advantage of their chances.”

But our guys are great competitors, and they believed in themselves.” It was the first time in six years there had been a onegoal game in the boys state Class AA final. Eastview never trailed but could never get comfortable against a Blaine team that showed an ability to strike quickly. “They have a powerful offense,” Opheim said of the Bengals. “If they’re not the best team we’ve faced, then they’re the team that played us the best. We had to keep playing as a team and trust that our goalkeeper (Kyle Lamott) would make the saves.” Blaine outshot Eastview 11-9. “I really thought we had the majority of the play,” Bengals coach Berry Arrowsmith said. “But Eastview did a great job, worked hard and finished its opportunities.” “I don’t know if it was a game of skill as much as it was a game of attrition and opportunities,” Gustafson said. “Our guys made the most of their opportunities, the way they have all season.”

Eastview scored 2:11 into the game when Jack Teske pressured a Blaine defender into giving up a corner kick. The kick by Sam Fluegge hit traffic in front of the goal and deflected to Michael Stockton, who headed it in. The Bengals needed just four minutes to respond. Ian Durbin and Mitch Boege worked the ball into the box. Durbin took the first shot and hit the goalpost. But the rebound went to Boege, who knocked it in with Eastview goalkeeper Kyle Lamott down and out of position. Eastview regained the lead midway through the first half. Fluegge sent a free kick into the Blaine penalty area and three players – Opheim, Blaine goalkeeper Tyler Carlson and a Blaine defender – converged on it. Opheim got his head on the ball first and directed it into the goal. Another rebound allowed Blaine to tie the game in the 61st minute. With the Bengals pressuring in the Eastview penalty area, Zach Brunko took a shot that the Lightning defense blocked. But the ball came to senior midfielder Zachary Wright, who had a opening to put it on net. With 16:29 remaining, Pierce Erickson found Opheim open about six yards in front of the Blaine goal and Opheim converted for a 3-2
