$228.9 million for Morrises of Burnsville Largest Lottery jackpot in state history makes couple’s retirement worries vanish by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The stock market was getting clobbered when Thomas and Kathleen Morris of Burnsville met with their financial advisor on Monday, Aug. 8. “So that night I told Tom, ‘The only way we’re going to retire is if we win the lottery,’ � Kathleen said. Four days later, the Michigan natives, married 38 years, discovered their retirement worries had vanished. The couple won the $228.9 million Powerball Jackpot, the largest payout in Minnesota Lottery history. Tom, a sales engineer, had bought five Powerball tickets Wednesday morning in Lakeville on his way to a work assignment in Indiana.

“I wasn’t aware that he even bought a ticket on his way out of town on Wednesday,� Kathleen said. The Morrises discussed their good fortune in an often-giddy and briefly tearful press conference Friday, Aug. 12, at Lottery headquarters in Roseville. “I’d like to say, we have a lot of nice friends that added that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple,� Kathleen said, patting her chest and welling up. “That was nice to hear.� Tom said he was preparing to put off pending retirement plans after the recent market downturn. Those plans quickly turned around. “He’s retired – 14, 15 hours ago,� Kathleen told reporters as the couple’s two

adult daughters stood nearby. Tom – who didn’t name his employer but said the company does mechanical contracting and makes packaging conveyors – stopped by the SuperAmerica store at 16161 Cedar Ave. in Lakeville Wednesday morning before driving to Indiana. “They’re always very, very nice to me,� Tom said. “That’s why I pulled in there. It’s a good store. I like their coffee.� He said he generally buys tickets every other week, usually in lots of three. Not this time. In a hurry and with only a $5 bill in his pocket, Tom went for broke Minnesota Lottery photo and purchased five quick- Thomas and Kathleen Morris of Burnsville met the media Friday, Aug. 12, at Minnesota picks.

Majority of Eagan homeowners may see same city taxes

Eagan market grows

Officials propose 2.9 percent drop in property tax levy by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Small growers bring their goods from all over the metro to the farmer’s market in Eagan. A variety of seasonal produce and flowers are available at Eagan’s Market Fest. Market Fest is held every Wednesday from 4-8 p.m. from until Sept. 28 in Eagan Festival Grounds at Central Park.

As Eagan residents continue to feel the weight of the recession, they can breathe a sign of relief in knowing their city taxes may remain flat next year. In a special City Council meeting Aug. 15, City Administrator Tom Hedges proposed lowering Eagan’s property tax levy by 2.9 percent to $27.4 million. “I think our challenge each year is to do the best we can to recognize all revenue sources and keep the property tax at a good level,� Hedges said. “I think it’s very responsible.� Most homeowners would pay the same in the city’s portion of their payable 2012 since property

values are expected to fall. The average home value of $241,744 is expected to drop by $4,048 in payable 2012, according to the city. County officials predict that Eagan home values will continue to fall over the next two years. Residents whose homes maintain their value can expect to pay between $12 and $18 more in property taxes, depending on the home value. Property taxes would not decline because the tax base is shrinking, explained Gene VanOverbeke, director of administrative services. How the proposed property tax levy would affect commercial and industrial properties is still See Taxes, 2A

unknown, said Tom Garrison, communications director. Property taxes in Eagan have historically been lower than in neighboring communities. In payable 2011, Eagan’s portion of property taxes for the average home value was less than its neighbors with one exception — Mendota Heights. Though city officials are looking to lower the property tax levy in payable 2012, total revenues are projected to rise slightly. City documents project total revenues to be $28 million in 2012, which is approximately $312,000 more than this year. “Our budget is increasing by about half the rate of inflation so essentially, we are becoming more ef-

spite the loss of a $130,000 rental contract with Envision Academy, the former School District 191 arts academy that ceased operations in June. While bookings and attendance at the PAC have improved, the previously rental-only venue has launched an “angel fund� with money to book shows on its own rather than waiting for business to come. The fund was established in part with a $50,000 city loan to the PAC. “That’s certainly something I’ve been pushing for since I got there, to create a programming fund,� Elbaum said. “I’m glad we got the support to make it happen. I think that was the one element that was missing. Now we’re able to go out and fund programming and potentially make some profits from that programming. Obviously, there’s some risk involved. The upside is also there.� Thanks to the fund, the PAC will soon announce its first performance series. VenuWorks officials didn’t

disclose the performers as of Wednesday. Elbaum said business from dance competitions staged by private companies is growing. Those bookings, which can be for up to five days, have grown from seven in 2009 to 12 this year to 15 scheduled for next year, he said. Hansen praised Elbaum and his staff’s emphasis on customer service to renters of the facility and patrons. “I used to get, either directly or through (City Council) members or other folks, at least one complaint about customer service over there per week after it first opened,� Hansen said. “Some of those things you can tally up to just growing pains of a new facility. I think it’s fair to say when Jon took over, he turned 180 degrees around on the attention paid to customer service.� The city says a new director is expected to be in place by November.

ficient,� said Council Member Paul Bakken. The city will be able to increase its budget without raising the property tax levy by increasing nontax revenues, Hedges said. City officials have been able to contain several cost factors such as health insurance, while preparing for rising inflation and upcoming election expenses. Eagan also saved money by cutting two positions through restructuring. Each year, city officials aim to maintain a general fund balance that is between 40 and 45 percent of the general fund. This money is essentially a rainy day fund for unexpected expenses. Eagan is on track to meet this goal by the end of fiscal 2011, VanOverbeke said. The city would continue to meet this goal in fiscal

2012 if the council approves the proposed property tax levy, according to his projections. City officials expect that staff numbers and services will remain the same next year, Hedges said. Eagan has a history of keeping a tight rein on its spending when compared to similar sized communities. According to a 2011 state auditor’s report, Eagan spent fewer tax dollars per capita in 2009 than other similar-sized cities in the state. The council must approve a preliminary property tax levy for payable 2012 by Sept. 15. Council members are scheduled to discuss the proposed levy at their Sept. 6 meeting.

He chose the name The Edge partly for his practice of booking bands that aren’t necessarily the usual suspects on every stage in the area. “We’ve got lots of bands at The Basement on a nice rotation that we’re going to bring down here,� he said, noting that upcoming acts at The Edge include Rockfist, the Shaw Brothers, PopROCKS, Lady Luck and Playback. Higgins also brought some loyal staffers from The Basement, including The Edge’s general managers, Ryan Bartlett and Nate Mohling. The place’s biker-bar image during the Renegades days was due in part to some common ownership between the bar and the former Ghost Riders motorcycle shop in Lakeville, Higgins said. “It was too exclusive,� he said of the former clientele. “According to police, they said it got to be a little rowdy toward the end.�

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Visiting with neighbors at Burnsville Mosque by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Elyas Shaik of Burnsville, like the rest of the faithful at the Burnsville Mosque last Friday evening, had not eaten a gram or drunk even a drop of water all day. The former Texan, who works in the local aerospace industry, was celebrating Ramadan. During this holiest month, Muslims fast as the sun shines. When night falls, they gather for an iftar, a breaking of the fast with prayer and a scrumptious dinner. The mosque also hosted a couple dozen non-Muslims, inviting them to ask questions about Islam and dine on a delicious array of lamb, hummus and rice dishes. Debby Reisinger of Burnsville was among the curious parties. “I have a friend who’s Muslim,� said Reisinger, a parishioner at Mary, Mother of the Church in Burnsville. “I’ve been very upset by people who make assumptions about Muslims without having any

experience with them.� This was her second iftar. She and her husband attended one last year in St. Paul. This year, they wanted to visit one in their own backyard. Reisinger said she respected that faith was a huge part of the lives of the people she met. “Practice and prayer is part of who they are and how they live,� she said. To get an idea of the impact of Ramadan on a Muslim’s life, think of the holiday as a summertime Lent, but with the fasting requirement all day, everyday from Ash Wednesday to Easter (and not just refraining from red meat on Fridays). There would be no eating or drinking while the day basks in sunlight. Obviously, not everyone sticks to this (just as I would often forget to forgo burgers on Fridays during Lent), but millions of people take it seriously enough to create both a market for buffets in the evening

and a profound ambiance of piety. For Shaik and his family, Ramadan is about empathy, that sacred idea of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. “We fast so we can feel the thirst and the hunger of those around the world who don’t have anything,� he said. He also said that fasting can be a catalyst for other forms of selfreflection. He has found that it discourages him from lying and committing other sins. To continue one’s sinful ways while putting on the show of Ramadan wouldn’t make any sense. “Otherwise,� Shaik asks, “why fast?� This was the second time I’ve attended an iftar at the Burnsville Mosque for a story and the third time ever I’ve attended the service. The first I attended was last August in Washington, D.C., at the Embassy of Bahrain (the Pentagon iftar was tossed around as a possibility, but its timing was not in tune with

mine). What sticks out for me about the Burnsville Mosque is the palpable friendliness and neighborly demeanor. As the only one south of the river, the mosque serves as a window into the world of Muslims for non-Muslims all over Dakota County. It is important for the members of the mosque to honor their holy month, but it is also important for them to reach out to everyone in their community. Most of what we know about Islam is through the eyes of those who hate it: whether it is people trying to stop a Muslim community center from being built near Ground Zero in Manhattan or those who would believe that within each Muslim community lies the potential for a “Red Dawn�-style invasion of America, the shadow of 9/11 seems poised to indict an entire group of people. It does not have to be this way, of course. You yourself could stop by the mosque one night during Ramadan (which lasts until Aug.

Burnsville financially strong despite economic challenges nationwide

Nation can’t tax itself to prosperity

by Elizabeth Kautz MAYOR OF BURNSVILLE

Common sense is prevailing in Washington – at last. Thanks to the president and leaders from both parties in the Senate and House of Representatives, a potential economic disaster has been averted. By extending debt limit increases to 2013, a cloud of uncertainty has been lifted from the economy. This is very good news for all those people relying on a stable provision of federal government services. Banks, businesses, and everyday Americans must have a predictable and reliable governmental partner to prosper and grow. While a welcome relief to millions, this debt agreement is not a solution to the structural challenges facing our economy. Spending and revenue must come into balance if we are to succeed as a nation. I have great hope that a renewed spirit of bipartisanship will

guide our national leaders as they approach 2013 and beyond. On the local level, we have succeeded in achieving and maintaining a strong financial structure despite the economic uncertainty at the state and federal levels. We enjoy the highest possible credit rating – Moody’s AAA. We have been notified that our strong rating will continue even as many other cities and school districts face a worrisome credit watch on their ratings. Since 1995, we have reduced our debt by 30 percent while maintaining an aggressive infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation program. Each year, we “right-size� our operations by evaluating the services we provide and how we provide them. Today the city operates with virtually the same number of employees as 1995 – despite a 10 percent increase

in population and a proliferation of state and federal mandates. Many of these simple local practices should be emulated by our leaders in Washington. At the local level we minimize the bitter partisanship and rancor by focusing on what is best for the people. We balance our budgets and submit to rigorous audits and public access and review of our practices and procedures. We are transparent and rarely allow party politics to be a motivating factor in local decision making. The president, our senators and House members have an incredibly difficult job. But I am confident if they stay focused on job creation and doing what is best for the American people, we all will prevail in the face of a daunting economic challenge.

Health insurance reform needed

carry health coverage. This coverage may be inadequate to cover many expensive procedures, and patients may continue to be plagued by gargantuan bills. A single-payer system, perhaps similar to Medicare, could provide some solutions. It might be particularly effective if co-payments by the patient could be adjusted for income levels, on a sliding-scale basis. Many community clinics have implemented this billing standard, and in a society with a widening income gap like ours, it makes sense. Decency requires that we do what we can to help stabilize middle- and low-income families. For the future of our children and grandchildren, legislators like Reps. Pat Garofalo, Mary Liz Holberg, Diane Anderson and Pam Myhra, and Sens. Ted Daley, Dan Hall, Chris Gerlach and Dave Thompson must take steps to counteract the dangers of unemployment and underemployment. Former state Sen. Jim Carlson, running in Eagan and Burnsville, is working to address challenges of high medical bills. Family values require that we do what we can to protect our families.

To the editor: A recent opinion piece about the state’s obligation to care for people with mental challenges rings the bell. Basic human respect requires that we provide care for those with these challenges in life. The cost of health care in our state is often borne by taxpayers who may have to pick up the tab for the most expensive care offered. That care is available at emergency rooms. Low- and middle-income patients without adequate coverage may try to pay for this most expensive care over time as best they can, and still the greatest individual source of bankruptcy in our country remains unpaid medical bills. For decades the situation has cried out for BETTY MACKEY remedy beyond merely Eagan requiring all citizens to

To the editor: Some things are just too predictable. Your “staff writer� Paul Hoffinger’s letter of Aug. 5 follows his normal path of coming to erroneous conclusions on the basis of wistful yearnings. The refrain never alters: People making more money than he, must fork it over to him through changes in the tax code. Hoffinger notes that the job creators and entrepreneurs own more property than the rest of us. He fails, however, to mention that the top 1 percent of wealth providers pay more in taxes than the bottom 50 percent combined. Hoffinger claims to be an advocate of Keynesian economics. He might do well to recall the words of Milton Friedman, who marveled at those who think that a nation can tax itself into prosperity even though there has never been a shred of evidence that it has ever worked. Or as Winston Churchill wrote, “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.� The evidence is clear: Keynesian economics has been a failure in Europe and Great Britain and it has shown to be a failure here. Hoffinger’s diatribe conveniently ignores the

Dorothy Jean Engel

Melvin C. Bengtson

Dorothy was born March 2, 1925, on a farm between Hoffman and Herman, Minnesota, to James Henry and Ruth (Getz) Norman. As the eldest of 8 children, her life was shaped to be selfless, frugal, caring, and show love to all. She found the best in every person and of every situation. She graduated from Hoffman High School and following vocational school at the University of Minnesota, Morris, she moved to the big city, Minneapolis. It was there she met the love of her life, Clarence Engel, while on a blind date. They were married October 21, 1950. The first home they owned was in Argonne Farms in Lakeville. Their first child, Gloria, was born while they lived in Lakeville. Shortly before the birth of their second child, Alan, Dorothy and Clarence moved to Hoffman where they farmed the Norman family farm. They continued farming until the mid 1960's during which time son, Mark, and daughter, Jill, were born. Dorothy and Clarence returned to Lakeville where Clarence began long distance trucking and Dorothy began a long career as a cook with the Lakeville School System. Following the sudden death of her husband, Dorothy filled her life with spending time with her children and grandchildren and playing cards with family and friends. A better Grandmother could not be found. Dorothy had a deep faith which carried her through all of life's trials. After a courageous battle with cancer, Dorothy passed away peacefully on August 9, 2011. She was preceded in death by husband, Clarence, and siblings William and Ruth. Dorothy is survived by children Gloria (Rick) Louk, Alan (Yumiko) Engel, Mark Engel, Jill (Tom) Seivert; grandchildren Jennifer (Mark) Rumsey, Elizabeth (Eric) Schaefer, Caroline and Alison Engel, Carl Engel, Jack, Claire, and Kate Seivert, Eugene Engel, Michael (Melissa) Louk, Jennifer (Don) Garmong, Garth (Tanya) Teske; and great grandchildren Gloria, Cameron, Kelly, Samantha, Sydney, Connor, Curtis, Zachary, Eva and Vance.

Melvin C. Bengtson, better known as Chet in his hometown, was born in Sebeka, MN on April 12, 1942. He left this world on August 11th at the age of 69. He is preceded in death by his father, Melvin C. Bengtson; survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Shirley; children, Sherry (Steve) Beckey, Mike (Cathy) Bengtson and Sheila (Jeff Houdeshell) Bengtson; grandchildren, Sarah and Maria Bengtson; mother, Amber Bengtson; siblings, Doug (Kathy) Bengtson, C o n n i e ( C h a r l ey ) S m i t h a n d Christine (Joe) Bernstetter, also by nieces, nephews and friends. Mel started working as a sales representative the day after he graduated from high school. In 1961, a little over a year after graduating from high school he married Shirley Schneider. During his years working in sales they lived in various cities including Aberdeen, SD, Coon Rapids, MN and Wadena, MN. In 1969, after Mel’s dad passed away, the family moved back to the farm he grew up on outside of Sebeka. During his years farming he raised hogs then later switched to dairy cattle. In 1976, he started driving truck over the road. He worked in various aspects of the trucking industry including dispatch and logistics from that point until he retired in 2010 for eight months and then retired again in 2011. When he wasn’t working he was watching his grandchildren participating in their activities or looking for something new to add to his collection of duck paraphernalia. Mel also enjoyed fairs including various county fairs and, particularly, the Minnesota State Fair. He rarely missed the State Fair since he was a teenager. He was also very supportive of his children’s involvement in 4-H including helping raise various animals to show at the local county fair with the ultimate goal of winning trips to the State Fair. Mel generally didn’t have a lot to say but led by example. He would take charge and quietly lead when a situation called for it. Everything he did was for the benefit of his family and even though he didn’t express himself with words, his family knew he cared deeply for them.

Grothe, Faribault High School class of 1938, during World War II, when he was home on leave from the U.S. Air Force. Throughout their sixty-six year marriage, Fred often referred to Dottie as "the sweetest woman in the world." Together, they lived on a number of military bases. As a military wife, Dottie was supportive of Fred when he was called up again in 1951, during the Korean War. She acted as the bookkeeper for the family finances and for a startup business, Frederick-Willys Company, which became successful and was sold to Stanley Home Products in 1967.

No levy referendum on ballot in District 196 Additional state aid and frugal planning should balance budget by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will not seek a levy referendum this fall due to additional funding the state will provide in the future and changes in the property tax credit many homeowners have previously received. The state promised the district an extra $50 per pupil this school year and another $50 per pupil in 201213. This amounts to $1.5 million each year in additional revenue, Finance Director Jeff Solomon said. District 196 will receive $2.96 million in compensatory funding starting in 2012-13. The state Legislature passed the one-time money for 20 districts with the largest enrollment aside from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. District 196 is expected to receive the largest sum of this money, Solomon said. The district also expects to receive $1.63 million in literacy aid for 2012-13. This aid is based on the literacy achievement of thirdand fourth-graders. The elimination of the market value homestead credit is another reason the district decided against asking voters to consider a levy referendum, Solomon said. The MVHC previously provided a credit on some homeowners’ property tax bills, and without it some could see their property taxes increase even if their home value declined. Since the board planned for a potential 3.5 percent cut in state funding – which will not be the case – it won’t have to make cuts in 201213, Solomon said. The district’s projected deficit in 2013-14 should be closer to $6.5 million instead of $12.5 million as previously predicted, he said. “We’ll need to start making budget adjustments at that point by using the fund balance,� Solomon said.

Sports Kathy Gillen takes the Irish tennis has high expectations reins back in Eagan Apple Valley has new coach with south suburban experience

One of the most successful varsity volleyball coaches in Minnesota history is leading Eagan again

by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

One of the most successful Minnesota volleyball coaches in history is back. Kathy Gillen has returned to lead the Eagan varsity team after a three-year hiatus. She wanted to spend more time with her family, but she never stopped coaching. “I know a lot of the kids who come through the program,� she said. “I coached my daughter in a fall program for three years and now she’s done, so it was easier to come back.� Three years ago it became difficult to juggle all the volleyballs in the air with her family, school and coaching. When the job opened at Eagan this fall, she felt it was time to come back. “It was a family decision,� she said. “My husband says I’m a lot happier when I’m coaching.� Fans of Eagan volleyball are happy, too. During her 17 years, she led the best volleyball team in the state from 1996-2003 winning state titles in 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2003. There were numerous conference and section championships during her run. “I don’t have a magic wand,� she said. “I attribute the success of the program to the girls who have come through the program and worked their butts off. “I don’t have any part of me that’s better than another coach, I don’t think. I just had girls that were willing to buy into the system and get the job done.� So what’s the system?

Eagan volleyball coach Kathy Gillen talks to her team during practice earlier this week. She returned to coach varsity after a three-year hiatus to spend more time with her family. “That’s a really hard question,� she said. “I just have a passion for volleyball and the girls shared that with me. Nobody works harder at practice than I do. We have a set plan. All the coaches in the conference have the same thing. They all have a goal. I try to set the bar high.� Win or lose, Gillen always finds something to improve. “That’s the beauty or the demise of high school, you play with the hand your dealt,� she said. “You have to take your strengths and make them shine, and you have to take your weaknesses and build on them, somehow. That’s something we’ve done pretty well – work through the defects. “All the teams are going to have good hitters and setters. If you can take what is the lower part of the game and raise that, that’s what wins the games.� The Wildcats finished 11-16 last season in the most talented conference in the state. With several talented players on the roster, expectations are high. “We’re not going to change the world in a year, but we’re

going to be pretty solid,� Gillen said. “We have a foundation that could challenge some teams, but it’s going to be a long stretch to say with a new player or new coach it’s going to turn everything around.� All conference honorable mention player Hannah Linder is back along with Cassie Weinberg and Emily Peterson. Gillen praised the play of setter Nicole Johnson. “It’s a good foundation to start with,� she said. The Wildcats received a boost when Taylr McNeil moved to town. “She’s one of the best players in the state, so that’s going to give us a jump start,� Gillen said. McNeil was all-state last year as part of the state champion Lakeville North squad. “We have a good mix of veterans, but they’re not my veterans,� Gillen said. “They’re going to have to get used to my coaching style and so far they’ve been very receptive.� Andy Rogers is andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Rosemount girls tennis team may have a youthful lineup in 2011, but no one is going to take them lightly. Sophomores Virginia Norder (No. 1 singles) and Ally Baker (No. 2) may be young for a varsity lineup, but they’re already two of the top players in Minnesota. Norder went to state for her singles play for the second year in a row, and Baker participated in the doubles tournament. She will switch to singles this season as her partner Makayla Newbery has graduated. Kristen Hoffman comes in at No. 3 singles. Layna Mestad, Megan Harrington, Rachel Olsen and Emily Harrington will round out the doubles lineup. “We should have a solid team with all returning singles players and only a few doubles players graduating last year,� coach Dana Beck said. “We have some great potential with some new ninth-graders coming in as well.� Beck envisions a top-three finish in both the South Suburban Conference and Section 3AA.

Apple Valley

Kennedy and Eastview, where she has helped coach for the past four years. This summer, she switched to work at crosstown rival Apple Valley as head coach and teacher. She has a number of experienced tennis players to help her ease in to the position. Two of Apple Valley’s top players – Anna Nguyen and Dani Tobroxen – both earned all conference honorable mention last season. The team’s most improved player from 2010, Mouy Bun, is back along with rookie of the year Malini Wijesinghe. They will also have familiar faces Kati Erb and Katrina Vogelgesang as two of the potential top doubles players back on the court. “We are a young team with some promising talent,� Pawlicki said. “We look forward to a good showing in the conference and learning more about the game of tennis and putting what we learn into quality matches and practices.�

Burnsville While the Blaze may lack a goto player this season, Burnsville should have a deep lineup with eight returning players with varsity experience. The senior-laden team featuring Rachel Raden, Annie Beckel, Brita Preus, Toni Carlstrom, McKenna Stebbins and Josie Montgomery should give the team an experienced edge. “We look to be pretty deep,� coach Ben Stapp said. “We don’t have any huge superstars, but we do have solid tennis players. We hope to do well this season and have a fun time doing it.�

Krista Pawlicki has taken over as varsity head coach for Apple Valley. She’s knows what it takes to play in the South Suburban Conference as she played No. 1 doubles for Bloomington Kennedy in the 1990s. She played tennis and basketball at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter and was instructor at Tennis and Life Camps for Andy Rogers is seven years. She has taught at Bloomington andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Sampers to resign from District 196 School Board by Jessica Harper

the state is handling its budget, it makes it harder for school districts.â€? Chairperson Jackie Magnuson has worked alongside Sampers during his entire time on the board. “Kevin has been a really solid board member,â€? she said. “He has a true love for the district and knows the district really well. ‌ He will be missed.â€? Sampers was instrumental in advocating on behalf of the school district at the state capitol, Magnuson said. “He’s really good at bringing a real clear message when working with area legislators, and at clearly explaining to the board how legislative decisions impact schools,â€? Magnuson said. In December of last year, Sampers became COO of Naiku, an education software company founded the month before. The company recently

Former Pawlenty chief of staff Dan McElroy, now president of Hospitality Minnesota and a former Burnsville state representative, said he has no idea of what Pawlenty will do next. But he offered a suggestion. “My advice to him is ex-

hale,� McElroy said, adding that he should spend time with his family and take time weighing future options.

“I think he did the right thing. It made sense,� Anderson said. Rep, Jim Abeler, RAnoka, who served with Pawlenty in the House and was a frequent visitor to the Pawlenty Governor’s Office, wasn’t surprised the former governor decided to abandon his bid. “I think it was realistic. I’m sure it was very difficult for him,� Abeler said. Pawlenty had worked for three years pursuing the presidency, he said. Former Pawlenty chief of staff Charlie Weaver, now executive director of the Minnesota Business Partnership, was a bit surprised Pawlenty dropped out. “It wasn’t a bad result,� said Weaver of the straw poll finish. But unlike some candidates who cannot see beyond their candidacy, Pawlenty can, Weaver said. “He’s always been a realistic guy whose been very well grounded,� Weaver said. Pawlenty’s family is im-

The company was also named as a semifinalist for the University of Minnesota’s Minnesota Cup, a statewide competition that identifies the state’s most promising new entrepreneurs. Trying to balance his responsibilities at work and on the board has become increasingly difficult, he said. Sampers’ position will not be on the ballot Nov. 8. Four other board seats – which are held by Magnuson, Rob Duchscher, Joel Albright and Bob Schutte – are up for re-election. The current board will fill Sampers’ vacancy through an appointment process.

‘Pacing, pacing, pacing’ The couple were watching TV after Tom’s return on Thursday night when the winning number was read on the 9 p.m. news. Kathleen already knew from news reports that the winning ticket had been sold in Dakota County, but she hadn’t known her husband had bought some the day before. Tom called the Lottery’s players hotline to make sure what was happening as the

We’ll do just fine.� Charities? “We have a number of issues that are close to our heart,� Kathleen said. “I don’t really want to divulge them right now, maybe. But there are several issues we’re passionate about. We have a large family.� “Family first,� Tom added. “My mom’s still alive (at 86). I want to help her.� It wasn’t always easy street for Tom, of Troy, Mich., and Kathleen, of West Bloomfield. The Michigan State alumni met in college and married when Kathleen had graduated and Tom was working on a second degree. Kathleen, who managed the household finances, recalls spending their checking account down to $2.12. “Our parents were amazed at what we could do with such little money,� said Tom, who came to Minnesota in 1984 to work for Pillsbury. “But we made it work. It was fun. Sometimes it was fun just not to have money.� And sometimes it’s fun to have it. “My degree’s in interior design, and I love building houses,� Kathleen said. “So I imagine we’re going to build another one.� Ending the news conference with an applause line, Kathleen announced that the couple’s first grandchild had been born the previous week.

“The fourth ticket was the winning number,� Kathleen said. “He usually stops at three.� Who was the clerk who made the winning sale? “We still have yet to figure that out,� said store manager Dan Aul. “They vaguely mention it was a young kid, but we have two or three of them in the 18 to 25 range so we’re not 100 percent sure who it might be.� The Lottery is paying the store a $50,000 bonus. “The employees don’t really see any of that $50,000,� Aul said. “It goes to the bottom line of the store. And at that point, it will help the store out tremendously.� Once the winners were announced, Burnsville police were prepared to beef up patrol around the couple’s home lest a media crush ensue, but it didn’t, Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen said.

But I’d do it again.� What will your first big purchase be? the couple were asked. “I have many interests,� said Kathleen, who said her employment was dabbling in a small coffee business with a friend, which she will now give up. “The list is growing by the moment. Family members are helping us.� In what form will they collect the prize – a cash option of $123.6 million ($83.7 million after tax withholding) or a $228.9 million annuity? The Morrises had 60 days to decide. “I notice that everybody (past Powerball winners) takes the cash, but I kind of like spreading my fun out,� Kathleen said. “The annuity kind of sounded good. We’re going to discuss that with our financial advisor. This will be a more fun topic than talking about the stock market.� How will the couple remain grounded? a reporter asked. “Oh, I think we’ll do just fine,� Kathleen said. “We’re just going to live the way
