Burnsville cracks down on apartment complex Country Village racks up more than 120 property and fire code violations, city says by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Burnsville apartment complex that city officials say is guilty of more than 120 fire and property code violations won’t be allowed to lease any more units until the problems are fixed. The City Council voted Tuesday to suspend the rental license for Country Village Apartments for two months or until the complex is brought up to city code. Mold, pests, wiring problems, faulty plumbing, sagging ceilings and floors, soaked carpets, damaged sheetrock, nonworking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and apartment doors that don’t swing shut are among the problems, officials said. “Squirrels in the attic. Lots of mice,” Fire Marshal Lee LaTourelle told the council. And cockroaches: “People gave them to us in a jar.” Council members were shown photos of extensive mold growing in units where residents live.

Mold in occupied units is one of the many problems at Country Village Apartments, Burnsville officials say.

Country Village Apartments in Burnsville has had its rental license suspended for two months or until numerous code violations are fixed.

“I don’t dare say what I’m thinking,” Council Member Mary Sherry said. “It’s wrong to do this to people.” Sherry said she’s read online reviews of the complex “that really broke my heart,” including one resident’s lament that she can’t afford to move out.

“She felt trapped, and my guess is she is not the only one,” Sherry said. “I’m embarrassed there is a place like this in Burnsville. I’m mortified that there is.” City Attorney Joel Jamnik said the recommended penalty of a license suspension would have been “much harsher” if not for all the

residents affected. License revocation – and eviction of all tenants – is “an option,” Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen said, “but that’s a very significant step to take.” Twenty-one of the 138 units are vacant, Hansen said. Residential rental licenses are renewed annual-

ly in Burnsville. Council members said they want to see improvements at Country Village by the time its renewal comes before them in December. An attorney for Country Village owner Delores Lindahl told the council that Lindahl Properties LP See Apartments, 16A

Economy fells another Burnsville Predatory offender fails to register in Eagan council member’s business Kealey surrenders retail chain, while Gustafson makes plans to start over by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville City Council Member Dan Kealey’s usedmedia business survived the early-2000s collapse in music CD sales. Pivoting to video games and DVDs, the business then survived the Great Recession’s onset in 2008. But DSK Sound Inc. couldn’t withstand a second drop in consumer spending in 2011. In August, Kealey’s business was liquidated through an agreement with his secured creditor, M & I Bank. Now another lender, Wells Fargo Bank, is suing Kealey for $97,740 in unpaid debt

Dan Kealey Dan Gustafson on a business line of credit. “This is a story about another business falling victim to the deep recession,” said Kealey, 54. He’s the second Burnsville council member whose business fortunes were upended by the downturn. Dan Gustafson lost his franchise with Concert Group Logistics, a freight-forwarding firm, in July 2009, and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in 2010. His successful petition freed him of $1.28 million in debts. Gustafson said Kealey has been candid about his situation,

“and he’s been working his tail off, like I did, to save his business.” “He and I chatted a lot,” said Gustafson, who’s now planning a new venture. “He certainly has my support. You don’t ever want to see somebody ever go through anything like this. But unfortunately, between the two of us, we’re two of millions who are going through this.” Kealey said Chapter 7 is an option. “If I had to file, it would only be to discharge the personal guarantees associated with my business that failed at the hands of the recession, and for no other reason,” he said. Employed by Burnsvillebased Rixmann Cos. as director of new business development and community affairs, Kealey said his personal finances aren’t in peril, though he has flirted See Kealey, 7A

Now, that’s a birthday McDonald, who recently turned 102, still lives at home in Burnsville by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Days after her 102nd birthday party, Phoebe McDonald’s well-kept living room was still decked out with cards and balloons. A couple of gift boxes of Abdallah chocolates – made by a company that’s been in Burnsville longer than she has – sat on the coffee table. “This is how she’s made it so far,” Julie Ekblad said, joking that her chocolateloving grandmother could “do a commercial for Abdallah’s candies.” McDonald still lives in the home on Dakota Court in Burnsville’s North River Hills neighborhood that she and her late husband, Paul, bought in 1968.

Phoebe McDonald, pictured with granddaughter Julie Ekblad, turned 102 on Oct. 14. Carver Court, in the house once owned by her late parents, Bob and Sandy Carlson. Sandy was one of McDonald’s two children. Her grandmother didn’t need much help living at home until about five years ago, said Ekblad, a daily visitor. Even after two cancer surgeries, McDonald did pretty well until coming down with shingles. She suffered a couple of falls in June, but was back at home after three weeks of transitional care. The 102-year-old now has a helpful roommate. Ekblad’s friend and fellow Burnsville High School graduate Kathy LaValle recently moved in. McDonald’s sight and hearing have diminished, and she’s never driven, so she appreciates all the help.

“I’ve got to give all the credit to DARTS,” the nonprofit that provides senior services, McDonald said. “DARTS is just wonderful to me. They offer me help with my yard and my cleaning.” One of seven children, she was born in 1909 to William and Doris Crowe in their south Minneapolis home at 28th Avenue and Fifth Street. “On the kitchen table,” Ekblad joked. “No, sir – we had three bedrooms,” corrected her grandmother, who turned 102 on Oct. 14. She remembers the house getting coal heating, and later, electricity. “That was a big event,” McDonald said. “I don’t remember the year. We were young. We kept some of the See McDonald, 16A

Two workers killed Oct. 13 by errant car on I-35W in Burnsville by John Gessner and Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two electrical workers – a 47-year-old Ramsey man and a 44-year-old St. Joseph man – were killed Oct. 13 by a car that left the road and struck them alongside northbound Interstate 35W in Burnsville. The workers were identified as Craig D. Carlson and Ronald J. Rajkowski. The driver of the vehicle, Kirk E. Deamos, 21, of Raymore, Mo., was uninjured, according to Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. Carlson died at the scene and Rajkowski died

after he was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center. Troopers were called to the scene, just south of the McAndrews Road overpass, at 12:33 p.m., Roeske said. He said the driver of the car, a Mitsubishi 3000 GT, lost control and struck the workers partway down the embankment on the side of the freeway. He also knocked over a freeway sign. Alcohol wasn’t a factor in the accident, Roeske said. According to a State Patrol report, Deamos was driving in the left lane of northbound I-35W when

he slowed for the construction zone. When Deamos felt he was too close to the construction wall, he braked and steered right. When the vehicle turned right harder than expected, Deamos turned left to compensate, and then turned right and spun out in the right ditch, striking the two workers. Roeske said it will probably be two or three months before the state forwards its completed investigation to the Dakota County attorney for possible charges. The accident underscores the need for driver See Crash, 10A

Public gives District 191 higher marks in new opinion survey

Survey shows support for upcoming levy renewal by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With a levy renewal election just around the corner, School District 191 gets high marks in a public opinion survey that suggests the levy has a strong chance of passing. Fifty percent of respondents support and 33 percent strongly support levy renewal, according to a phone survey of 400 residents taken in August by polling firm Decision Resources Ltd. Voters in the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage district are being asked in the Nov. 8 election to extend a current levy, not raise new taxes. But the survey suggests a majority of residents would pay more if programs and services were at risk. The level of hostility to property taxes is “benign,� William Morris of Decision Resources told the School Board Oct. 13. The survey shows a sharp rise in approval ratings for the school system compared with 2007, when Decision Resources last surveyed District 191 residents, Morris said. “Overall, this is really an abrupt change from four years ago,� he said. “It really marks a transition point.� The district is seeking renewal of $10 million in

Only 9 percent answered “excellent� in 2007, Morris said. “Over a four-year period, that’s a statistically significant change,� he said. Two percent of respondents said the quality is “poor� and 11 percent said “only fair.� Asked to compare school quality now with five years ago, 45 percent said “about the same,� 26 percent said “better� and 14 percent said “worse.� Asked about district spending, 56 percent of respondents agreed that the district spends effectively and efficiently, compared with 43 percent in 2007, Morris said. Twenty-six percent disagreed. Approval ratings for the School Board came in at 58 percent “positive.� Ratings were 62 percent for the superintendent, Randy Clegg, and his administration; 68 percent for district principals; and 84 percent for teachers. “Everything has improved in the past four years,� Morris said. “People are much more comfortable and much more trusting about how the school district is operating these days.� John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

levy authority first approved by voters in 2001. The levy, which expires in 2013, would extend a tax of $846 per pupil for another decade. The survey shows a tolerance for even higher taxes – and less hard-core opposition to higher taxes than four years ago, Morris said. Asked about their predisposition toward a levy referendum, 62 percent of respondents voiced support. Nineteen percent voiced opposition, a number that exceeded 30 percent in the 2007 survey, Morris said. “This is a real turnaround from where we were four years ago,� he said. Given a range of tax increases they’d support, the median sum respondents gave was $6.05 per month. That’s the “highest median level we’ve found anywhere� in surveys of districts around the metro area, Morris said. On the same question, 27 percent said they’d support no increase, and 9 percent were unsure. Asked about the quality of their public schools, 61 percent answered “good� and 20 percent answered “excellent.� “The 81 percent is a significant increase from what we saw four years ago,� Morris said.

Local author shares father’s wisdom in latest book by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The bond between father and son is one that even death cannot break. This is the theme of Eagan native Tyrel Nelson’s latest book, “Those Darn Stripes.� Neslon is author of “Stories from Ecuador: A Collection by Tyrel Nelson,� and “Inspired: The 20092010 VISTAs of the Saint Paul Public Schools Foundation.� In “Those Darn Stripes,� Nelson weaves a series of short stories together to illustrate his relationship

atic cancer. “I tried to be very honest in my storytelling,� he said. “Didn’t want to hold back.� Nelson describes his father as a best friend who provided sage advice. The title of the book was inspired by one of his father’s favorite sayings. His father would compare several animals, including a zebra and a horse, saying, “A zebra could be a horse, if not for those darn stripes.� The message: Be yourself. Nelson continued to seek Tyrel Nelson his father’s wisdom while with his father, Jay, who living thousands of miles died in February of pancre- from home.

Shortly after earning a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota, Nelson moved to Ecuador to teach English. While there, he continued to stay in regular contact with his parents. Though the book recounts many joyous occasions, it also details his father’s battle with pancreatic cancer.

Nelson’s last moments with his father were some of his favorites, he said. The book’s short story called “The Red Oak� recounts one of those memories, in which Nelson and his father strolled through one of their favorite forests. His father stops at a red oak tree and tells Nelson that even after death, he will look out for him.

“The thing I miss the most is his company,� Nelson said. “My dad was a very wise man. I tried to glean what I could from him.� “Those Darn Stripes� is available at Barnes and Nobles and amazon.com. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Frontier accused of inflating bills Farmington man among those to file suit against telecommunications company THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Frontier Communications is being sued by four Internet customers who say the company charged customers for unrelated or undisclosed fees. The lawsuit was filed Oct. 11 in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis and seeks to become a class action suit. Frontier – which has a regional headquarters in Burnsville – is accused of imposing inapplicable charges on customers’ Internet bills, including state and federal taxes, 911 fees, and Universal Service Fund fees. These charges are common on phone bills but do not apply to Internet bills, according to the lawsuit. The suit also alleges that Frontier included its own high-speed Internet sur-

charge on customers’ bills and claimed the fee was required or authorized by a government agency. In an email, Frontier spokeswoman Patricia Amendola declined to comment on the litigation, but in an email wrote: “Frontier values its customers and we believe our charges and practices are consistent with applicable state and federal laws.� E. Michelle Drake, an attorney representing the suit’s plaintiffs, said she believes the Stamford, Conn., company misrepresented itself when advertising its services to customers and charging the fees. Minnesotans Ed Risch of Farmington, Clint Rasschaert of Minnetrista and Verna Chuna of Scandia, and Chester, N.Y. resident Pamela Schiller are seeking

unspecified damages. “Our goal is to stop Frontier from engaging in unlawful practices,� Drake said. If the suit becomes a class action, it could significantly affect the company. Frontier has more than 270,000 telephone and Internet customers in Minnesota and 7.4 million nationwide. The Central Region is the telecommunications company’s largest operation with approximately 1.8 million customers in Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin. It is difficult to say who would be served in a class action suit because the company doesn’t provide a break down, Drake said. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Opinion Thisweek Columnist A stadium plan Dave Thompson can support Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A few months ago in this space, I confessed to being concerned that I found myself agreeing with state Sen. Dave Thompson on a few issues. While Thompson, the Republican senator from Lakeville, has been a friend for years, we tend to come at most issues from different points on the political spectrum. He usually agrees with those who say government is society’s biggest problem, and I still see government as a necessary partner in addressing many problems that face our society. However, over my buffalo chicken salad at Mainstreet Cafe in downtown Lakeville, we agreed that public money shouldn’t be spent on a Viking football stadium. We also agreed that we are hooked on spending Sunday afternoons watching football, even in years like this one, when our purple heroes couldn’t block Barney, the purple dinosaur my granddaughter asks for when Grandpa is watching football. But as our public officials wrestle with the deadline for coming up with a stadium plan so the

Vikings don’t move from the tundra to La La Land, I’m offering the WernerThompson Stadium Plan. Of course, I haven’t been able to get a hold of my favorite conservative state legislator to endorse the idea. But it meets his criterion for a Viking stadium that doesn’t require public financing. It’s a simple idea: Add 15,000 seats to TCF Bank Stadium and we can enjoy watching both of our losing football teams in the same venue. That seems a lot wiser than spending more than a billion dollars in state, Ramsey County and Zygi Wilf money on a new stadium in Arden Hills. Supporters of the Arden Hills plan and other observers of the stadium wars will point out that this is an idea that has already been rejected and that it poses many challenges. I hasten to point out that the times have changed since this joint-stadium proposal failed in 2002, and there are ways to address the challenges. First of all, the economy has degenerated precipitously since 2002, and my friend, Dave, and I agree it’s absurd to think about spending a billion dollars on a stadium when so many of our fel-

low citizens are losing their livelihoods and their homes. Second, bright Minnesotans can figure out how to address the challenges associated with the Vikings sharing a facility with the Gophers. Scott Ellison, the associate athletic director of facilities at the U, concedes that TCF Bank Stadium was designed so it could be expanded from its current 50,000 seats to 80,000. The Arden Hills plan calls for 65,000 seats. So we’d need to add only 15,000 seats to “the Bank.� And Zygi Wilf, the Vikings owner, can pay a few million for that expansion, rather than the $400 million he has pledged to the Ramsey County project. In return, it should be relatively easy for the state to provide Zygi with revenue from the luxury suites, from U parking lots, from concession stands and, of course, tickets so he can pay his players and make a profit. Ellison concedes that there is plenty of campus parking available on Sunday afternoons. But what about on Monday and Thursday nights when the U has classes? Last time I checked, there is a dedicated busway that connects the Minneapolis campus with the

State Fairgrounds, where there should be plenty of parking on game days. And isn’t our public money being used to build a light rail line that would run from parking-rich downtown Minneapolis through the campus? We could even give Zygi parking revenue from city-owned lots downtown and at the state-owned Fairgrounds on those days. But what about advertising revenue for the Vikings? The U gets revenue from TCF for the naming rights. Fans of soccer have seen those electronic advertising signs that line fields all over the world. In fact, a company in Roseville called School Space Media has contracts with several local school districts that allow those districts to raise money by selling advertising on those signs at sporting events. We can give Zygi the revenue from those signs. At this point, Ellison plays the cold card. TCF Bank Stadium doesn’t have a roof for those December games when it could be 20 below. As I recall, the Vikings played at the U on a bitterly cold day last December after the Metrodome roof collapsed. And I understand there’s a team in Green Bay that plays without a roof.

But we’ve got an ace in the hole for days when the boys shouldn’t be out in the cold. The dome would still be there for the scores of events that use it now when the Vikings don’t and could be used by the Vikes on 20-below nights when “the Bank� isn’t playable. Call me naive to believe that we can convince the Wilfs and the National Football League that a university can share a stadium with the pros. But I’ll call you irresponsible to ask that taxpayers spend $650 million for a stadium in Arden Hills that would be used fewer than a dozen times a year. Given the arm-twisting and negotiations going on this week over the stadium issue, I wasn’t able to do more than exchange voicemails with Dave. But I kind of think he and a few hundred thousand other citizens would see the wisdom of using a beautiful two-year-old stadium for the Vikings rather than spending more than a billion dollars for a new one.

Letters Magnuson deserves support To the editor: For the last 22 years Independent School District 196 has been guided and served by School Board Member Jackie Magnuson. Magnuson, who serves also as a director at the state and national School

Board level, has given our schools an even, effective and efficient style of management. She knows how to direct a school district that is fiscally responsible and maximizes financial resources, but it is her deep sense of the history of our community, her solid understanding of students and instruction and her willingness

and ability to respond to the needs of district residents which makes her so vital to the continued success of our schools. It is difficult to overstate her contributions to our students and teachers and to their achievements in our classrooms and on our fields of competition. Our academics, sports, arts, test scores, awards and

honors garnered by faculty, staff and students all reflect the dedicated and unwavering commitment of Magnuson that our school district gives quality education every day, in every classroom. Magnuson has proven what she can and will do for our community. Please join us and vote to re-elect Jackie Magnuson to the District 196 School Board. DOUG and LINDA ALBERTSON Apple Valley

To the editor: I congratulate Independent School District 196 for its recently announced progress in math and reading scores, and I am hopeful that scores in the more culturally and racially mixed classrooms will improve in the future. This is why I support Fay Coggshall as a member of the District 196 School Board. When elected, Coggshall plans to meet the changing face of our community with a more diverse workforce, one that reflects and is equipped to focus on the needs of our students. As the parent of former district students, Coggshall wants to protect our schools from the ups-and-downs of budget bargaining in government, by protecting our funding. Also, she plans to ensure a safe haven for all of our children to learn, safe from intimidation and harassment. We are a changing community, and Coggshall offers a new perspective in dealing with the issues and concerns that often arise

with change. I feel that Fay Coggshall would be an ideal addition to the School Board in the Nov. 8 election. MICHELE OLSON Apple Valley

Incumbent board members should be re-elected To the editor: As Independent School District 196 Board of Education elections draw near, I am writing to encourage parents within our school district to vote for incumbent School Board members, particularly Rob Duchscher. I have had the privilege to know him personally and professionally for over 12 years. His energy, work ethic and interpersonal skills, along with his business skills in the area of finances and short- and long-term planning make him an ideal candidate to continue to serve members of the community. Duchscher does not take his role as board member lightly, and works very hard to communicate with district members and to educate himself on issues within the district. District 196 remains a top district in the state, in part due to the hard work and dedication of current board members. Especially in these challenging economic times, during which we face continued unpredictable state funding, we need to have experienced board members with a proven track record continuing to make prudent decisions about how best to educate our students. Duchscher’s years of expe-

rience on the board and his wealth of knowledge in this role make him the best person to continue serving on the board. Get out there and vote for Duchscher and other incumbent board members and ensure that our district continues to be one of the best school districts in the country. CARRIE PEDERSON Lakeville

Supports Schutte, Coggshall To the editor: School board elections are always important and especially so this year. With four open seats on the board, I urge a vote for Bob Schutte and Fay Coggshall. Schutte is an incumbent and has been a member of the District 196 School Board during some very difficult financial times. He serves on the Audit & Finance and Curriculum & Instruction committees. He has served the board and members of the district well and will continue to offer his experience and his support of public education in another term. Coggshall has been a resident of the district for many years and her children are recipients of a District 196 education. She will bring fresh ideas and a new face to the board and work hard to support and enhance the excellent education offered to our students. I urge your vote for Bob Schutte and Fay Coggshall for District 196 Board of Education on Nov. 8. JUDY FINGER Apple Valley

No matter what happens at the state tournament, this Eastview’s boys soccer season has been the best one in school history. The Lightning qualified for state for the first time ever on Tuesday by defeating Eagan 3-0 in the Section 3AA final at Park High School in Cottage Grove. “It’s a great feeling,” keeper Sam Ruelas said. “Words can’t mention it. The first team to ever go undefeated for Eastview.” Given that Eastview’s school district boundaries creep into Eagan and neither team has ever been to state, the rivalry was heated on Tuesday. Both teams came in with their share of nerves, which led to some quick early goals. Eastview’s Pierce Erickson scored off an assist from Joe Karam. A few seconds later, Eagan’s Juan Sjorberg put his team on the board with an assist from Max Turnstedt. Erickson gave the Lightning the lead by kicking in a rebound off a corner kick late in the first half. Eagan had chances to

The ball eventually got past Ruelas on a fast break, but Brennan Espinda Banick sprinted down to kick the ball away before it crossed the goal line. “We were on our heels there for about 15 minutes,” head coach Scott Gustafson said. Eastview’s leading scorer Mathew Gweh put the game away in the second half with a fast break goal with less than 14 minutes remaining. It’s been quite the ride for a team that began the season unranked in Class

AA. They are now in line for the No. 1 seed at state. “We found ways to win when we played well and ways when we didn’t,” Gustafson said. “We found ways to win when Mathew Gweh scores a bunch and ways when he gets shut out.” Gustafson had an idea the team was capable of a positive season with players like Ruelas and Gweh. “We graduated a ton so we didn’t have many experienced players,” Gustafson said. “It was a bit of an evolution. We had stretches when we didn’t play well, but those other kids really

This year’s team doesn’t have a superstar player, but the girls say this is a close group that cares about each other, and that’s what makes them special. “We truly are a team,” head coach David Herem said. “Nobody has to win the game. It’s nobody’s job. We just have a bunch of really talented players.” Against Eagan, Eastview controlled the ball in the first half leading to an early Taryn MacMillan goal with an assist from Nesheim. Eagan changed its tactics in the second half by putting more forwards on the field. It led to a few good looks in the first four minutes, but nothing got past keeper Anhthu Huynh. With less than 15 minutes left to play, Nesheim added an insurance goal. The girls like their chances at state. The girls defeated fellow qualifying team Burnsville and tied with the likely top seed at state – Lakeville North. “We’ve shown we can play with the best teams in the state this year,” Sanders said. “Plus, we had to play in such a hard section, I think we’re ready.”

After a two-year absence, the Eastview girls soccer team is heading back to state. The Lightning upset top seeded Eagan 2-0 in the Section 3AA final on Tuesday at Park High School in Cottage Grove. “It’s so surreal,” senior forward Paris Sanders said. “It hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m so excited.” Eastview’s recent games against Eagan hadn’t gone so well, with losses on Sept. 15 during the regular season and the Section 3AA final in 2009. “I guess it’s a little revenge,” Sanders said. The seniors did everything they could to keep their soccer season alive. “We didn’t want to be done playing,” senior forward Leah Nesheim said. “We’ve been playing together since like, what, kindergarten. This is our senior year. We’re not all going to college together. This is it.” The Lightning last qualified in 2008.

The Rosemount girls tennis team qualified for the Class AA state tournament this week at the University of Minnesota after defeating Prior Lake 4-3 in the Section 3AA final Oct. 13. This is just the second time that Rosemount has advanced to state. The last time was in 2009. “I think it helped that I have five seniors on the team who were a part of the group of girls that went to state for the first time,” head coach Dana Beck said. “I think the experience of playing under pressure and staying both mentally and physically tough pulled us through the match.” The Irish defeated Eagan in the semifinal, 4-3, before meeting Prior Lake in the final.

Gustafson eyes new venture

is one of those things in this country that’s really taking off,� said Gustafson, who in the early 1990s owned the Roxy Music Cafe at St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis. “It allows you to have a restaurant without investing in the brick and mortar, which helps keep your expenses down.� The couple have yet to decide on a food specialty. Gustafson said they hope to be in business this spring. He said he’s researched permit requirements in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as applicable state health regulations. “We’ve been doing our diligence on it,� he said. Suzanne, who once worked part time at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center, is now working part time at Costco in Burnsville, Gustafson said. The couple were able to keep their house in the bankruptcy proceeding, which wrapped up last summer. “It was the worst day of my life having to do it and then it was the best day of my life after it was done,� Gustafson said. “Suddenly I didn’t have the weight of the world on me any more, which allowed me to start over again.�

After his debts were cleared by the bankruptcy court, Gustafson, 58, landed a midlevel management job with Manna Freight Systems in Mendota Heights. “I think I’d worked for myself for so long, it was difficult to work for somebody else,� said Gustafson, who left that job last month. “So we’re going into our own business.� He and his wife, Suzanne, plan to operate a food truck. Minneapolis, St. Paul, and various fairs and festivals are possible venues for the new business, Gustafson said. John Gessner is at burnsville. “The food-truck business thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

He shuttered poorly performing stores in Roseville and Minnetonka in 2008, leaving four stores – Replay Music Movies Games at Burnhill Plaza in Burnsville, and three Mega Media Xchange stores in Blaine, Maplewood and St. Cloud. His decision to join Rixmann Cos., which owns Pawn America stores, in September 2008 was another attempt to shore up his own business, Kealey said. He subtracted his salary from DSK’s overhead costs, leaving employees to run the business while he drew a salary elsewhere. “Roughly 25 people lost their jobs when this company closed,� Kealey said. Sales tanked in 2008 but eventually recovered to the point where Kealey said he was able to meet expenses and debt payments negotiated with M & I Bank, where he had two loans backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Then sales plummeted by 30 percent, he said. “The second dip of this recession hammered retailers this spring,� Kealey said. “There were national reports that showed consumer spending hit a two-year low in 2011.� Said Kealey, “I could not sustain another massive revenue fall as a result of consumer spending pulling back. I was unable to meet rent obligations, and therefore I negotiated a voluntary surrender of the assets to the bank, and they took control and liquidated the assets.� The liquidation value “won’t equal the loan value, so the difference is still a liability I am personally guaranteed to support.� His efforts to repay M & I date back to the sale of his home on Crystal Lake in 2007, when the bank “took possession of all the equity� and received $170,000 over the following year, Kealey said. Kealey dodged foreclosure on his next home, on 152nd Street, by closing a sale in April. “It was in the foreclosure process. And I did have a cash buyer, and I sold it before the end of the reclamation period,� said Kealey, who lives with his wife and family.

He said he was surprised to learn the bank had filed suit against him on Oct. 3 in Dakota County District Court. His ex-wife, Robin, is also named in the suit, but Kealey said her stake in DSK ended some time ago. The civil complaint says Kealey has not made payments on the debt since about Oct. 19, 2009. He applied for the line of credit in July 2005, according to the complaint. A third creditor, a private party, holds a “small note� in DSK, Kealey said.

Burnsville Burnsville man sentenced in mortgage scheme

A 45-year-old Burnsville man was sentenced Oct. 13 for conspiring with others to bilk mortgage lenders out of more than $43 million. In U.S. District Court in St. Paul, Judge Richard H. Kyle sentenced Troy David Chaika to 102 months in prison on seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of mail fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud. Chaika was indicted in April 2010 and was convicted by a jury on May 24, 2011. A press release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis said that evidence presented at trial proved that between 2005 and 2008, Chaika conspired with others, including Dustin Lee LaFavre, prosecuted in a separate action, to obtain money fraudulently through more than 100 residential property transactions. To further the scheme, Chaika and LaFavre negotiated with builders of new properties as well as owners of existing properties to buy both single pieces of property and property groupings, known as “bulk purchases,� at greatly reduced prices. Chaika and LaFavre

then solicited real estate purchasers by promising them large cash payouts, or “kickbacks,� from lenders’ funds. Chaika and LaFavre failed to tell potential buyers about the reduced prices they had negotiated for the properties, choosing instead to quote them the grossly inflated prices. By charging buyers the higher prices, Chaika and LaFavre acquired enough cash from loan proceeds to pay buyers their kickbacks and still have money left for themselves and their co-conspirators. Once a potential buyer was recruited through this scheme, Chaika and LaFavre, or someone working on their behalf, drafted a purchase agreement that reflected the inflated sale price only and failed to disclose to lenders the kickback amounts. Occasionally, Chaika, LaFavre, or someone working for them drafted a so-called addendum to the purchase agreement, setting forth the planned kickback, or “payout,� to the buyer, but that document was never provided to the lender. In several instances, Chaika and LaFavre, or

others on their behalf, worked with buyers and mortgage loan officers to prepare false documents for use in the application process. In addition, Chaika and LaFavre sometimes loaned buyers money for downpayments or to pad their bank balances while the application process was pending. Because of those material misrepresentations, numerous lenders agreed to fund mortgage loans for the purchase of the residential properties. Furthermore, after the mortgage loans were secured, property title companies prepared documents and handled closings based on the fraudulent information provided by Chaika and LaFavre or others on their behalf. In furtherance of the scheme, Chaika prompted no fewer than seven wire transfers of loan proceeds from which he and others obtained cash kickbacks. He also caused false documents to be sent through the U.S. mail and by commercial carriers on at least three occasions. On Sept. 29, LaFavre was sentenced to 48 months in prison on one count of conspiracy.

The Halloween event at Eagan’s Caponi Art Park next weekend will not leave you trembling. A fear-infested, horror-laden haunted-trail experience it is not, nor is it not intended to be.

Young and old can jump right in. “It’s going to be big – at least 10 feet in diameter,� said Jenna Strank, communications coordinator for the park. “We have about 60 acres full of trees here, so it just depends how much we want to rake and blow the leaves.�

At each stop on the tour, kids will get a piece of candy that relates to the sculpture – a Milky Way bar at the work “Walk in Outer Space,� for example, and Twizzlers at “Struggle of the Elements,� because the sculpture is rife with Photo by Craig Drehmel curves which kids will be “Snake� by Anthony Caponi is among the sculptures feaencouraged to replicate with the licorice.

the girls had improved over the course of the last month that we would have a good chance at a more competitive match,� Beck said. “We have always not performed up to our potential during our conference matches with Eagan but then the last two years in sections, we have given them very competitive and close final matches.� Last year, Eagan defeated Rosemount in the section playoffs to advance to state. Prior Lake won the South Suburban Conference thanks to a 4-3 win over Rosemount late in the season. “I think we knew we had a chance if our doubles teams could come through with some good play, plus we played Prior Lake on a very gusty, windy day outside which could have been a factor,� Beck said. Playing inside Life Time Fitness in Lakeville, the Irish had one less thing to worry about. Against Prior Lake, Virginia Norder won 6-2, 6-0 at No. 1 singles. At No. 2, Alison Baker trailed 3-0 in the second set and rallied to win 6-3, 6-4. At No. 2 doubles, Megan and Emily Harrington trailed by one set and fell behind 5-4 in the second set. They held off a few match points to win a tiebreaker 7-6 (7-5). They won the third set, 6-1. If that wasn’t enough excitement, Kirsten Hoffman sealed the win at No. 4 singles, the last match to go final. She led 5-1 in the third set with the teams knotted at 3-3, but Prior Lake’s Sarah

Henderson rallied, recognizing she was playing the deciding match. Hoffman took the momentum back to win 6-4. “This match was truly a battle till the end and could have gone either way,� Beck said. “I was very proud at how mentally tough my team stayed.� While the girls improved as the season progressed, Beck made a few lineup changes that helped the team turn its game around. She paired the Harrington sisters in the doubles lineup, which proved to be a winning combination. “They played well and did not get frustrated with each other on the court,� Beck said. Rosemount will play Brainerd in the first round of the Class AA state team tennis tournament at noon on Oct. 25. “We have a good chance at winning this match,� Beck said. “I am going to take it one match at a time. Seems to be working well that way.�

Individuals Rosemount’s Virginia Norder will make her third trip to state next week after winning the Section 3AA singles title on Tuesday. She defeated Eagan’s Danielle Donahue 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 at the Lakeville Life Time Fitness Center. Donahue will also make her second-straight trip to state. Eagan’s Varvara Zelenina and Elizaveta Zelenina qualified for the doubles competition after finishing runnerup in Section 3AA. It’s their second state trip.

CDA townhomes in Lakeville hit opposition by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

‘Instant slums’ However, in an April 2010 letter to the CDA, William Cooley, managing member of H&W Family LLLP, a Florida-based firm that owns Lakeville Land, wrote that Lakeville

homes in 2005 and sold lots to M.W. Johnson Construction Inc., which built a variety of townhome types. Morgan Square said in court documents that Lakeville Land did not protest that either. Lakeville Land responded in court documents that “at the time of those transactions, Lakeville Land was unaware that (Morgan Square) had sold lots to M.W. Johnson or that M.W. Johnson was constructing townhomes on the property.� The next court date is in November.

CDA townhomes have income requirements dependent on the number of people in a family. A family of three seeking a two-bedroom townhome needs to earn at least $17,000 a year but no more than $45,000, according to the CDA website. Tenants also must meet a rigorous set of criteria, including positive landlord and credit references and a criminal history check. A starting school teacher ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ with a stay-at-home spouse and a child could qualify for ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ CDA townhomes. “The family townhomes at Morgan Square will pro- Aaron Vehling is at aaron.ve ! " vide housing for working hling@ecm-inc.com and www. facebook.com/thisweeklive. people in modest paying jobs,â€? Swenson said in the statement. Morgan Square LLC initiated the lawsuit against Lakeville Land to get the construction of the CDA townhomes moving. The CDA is not directly involved in the lawsuit, other than that it has a purchase agreement on the property in question. The CDA, along with many other property owners in that area, including Muller Family Theatres, Harry’s Cafe and the City of Lakeville, was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Morgan Square’s intent was to compel the ! court to declare the rights, status and legal relations "

of the Lakeville Land and # owners of other property $ % " subject to the covenant dec & laration, according to court # documents. However, most ' " " of the defendants were re " moved by default. Morgan Square asserts in court documents that it is allowed to build additional townhomes on the property because it was allowed to operate outside the cov enant before. It also asserts that at no point in the pro cess of getting the city’s ap proval for the plat did Lakeville Land protest. Morgan Square platted � � a second phase of town-

Are county-subsidized townhomes an opportunity to provide affordable roofs over moderate-income-earners’ heads? Or are they “instant slums� as a landowner has described them? A parcel of land behind Lakeville 21 Theatre – on 205th Street and Keokuk Avenue – has become a landscape for this philosophical battle. The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) seeks to develop a 35-unit family townhome development on that property, which is owned by Morgan Square LLC. The county’s CDA developments are private/public partnerships. To date, the agency has 19 townhome developments all over the south metro, including four in Lakeville. The property near the theater is subject to a covenant created in 1997 by its original owner, Lakeville Land, which sold Morgan Square the parcels more than a decade ago so Morgan Square could build and sell owner-occupied townhomes. The covenant did not initially allow for the construction of townhomes (with wood frames and the like). Lakeville Land had aspirations for the property to become a vital commercial center, according to court records relating to a lawsuit between Lakeville Land of Wayzata and Morgan Square. But Lakeville Land allowed construction of townhomes in 2002, up to 36 lots. In 2009, the CDA’s plan for housing on the empty lots was approved by the Lakeville Planning Commission and City Council.

CDA residents

Land did not approve of the plans. “I cannot see how the City of Lakeville would allow these ‘instant slums’ to be constructed anywhere in their city,� Cooley wrote to Lori Zierden of the CDA. Cooley said in the letter that his firm had a substantial investment in the adjoining property and the covenant protects the land’s value from “the type of ‘junk’ housing, that you are proposing, to be constructed next to our property.� In court documents imploring the court to act in its favor, Lakeville Land asserts that Morgan Square’s and CDA’s plans for affordable housing will “lower the value of Lakeville Land’s property in an amount approaching $1 million.� Lakeville Land also asserted in court documents that the CDA does not manage its existing properties well. “Inspections of (the CDA’s) townhome projects has revealed that the CDA has failed to properly maintain some, if not all, of the projects,� Lakeville Land wrote to the court. Neither a representative of Morgan Square nor Lakeville Land was available for comment, but the CDA issued a statement responding to Lakeville Land’s assertions. “The Dakota County CDA strongly rejects the claims by Lakeville Land, Ltd., that the CDA’s rental properties are poorly maintained,� wrote CDA spokeswoman Sara Swenson. “The Dakota County CDA takes pride in the quality of both the construction and management of its family townhome developments. The CDA manages the properties with a professional staff and budgets for upgrades and capital improvements.� Lakeville city officials declined to comment on an active court case, but records show the Planning Commission and City Council approved the platting in late 2009.

She started as one of the “basket girls� hauling mail. By the end of her eight-year stint, McDonald had moved into a billing position and was earning $85 a month, $30 more than when she started. She met her future husband when both worked at Pillsbury and promptly quit her job when they married. Paul died in 1978. “He got a $25 raise when we got married,� McDonald recalled. “I think he was going up to $125 (per month). We were so happy to have a job. We spent it all on a

COUNTRY VILLAGE CODE VIOLATIONS Burnsville inspectors say they’ve opened 129 cases of code violations at Country Village Apartments since an inspection on Aug. 2. According to the city, the cases include multiple problems: • 80 involving mold and water damage. • 98 involving damaged doors, windows and tile, and holes in the walls. • 28 involving faulty plumbing work and repairs. • 28 involving faulty electrical work and repairs and inoperable electrical equipment (vent fans, A/C units, stoves, refrigerator). • Multiple problems with the exteriors of buildings (peeling paint, rotten and damaged wood, and squirrel holes in the fascia and soffit). of city staff time, Hansen said. About a quarter of the problems have been fixed, he said, “but it’s been too little, too late.â€? After initial discovery of fire code violations, city inspectors visited and found property code violations, Hansen said. Three teams – from fire, police and inspections – scoured the property in August, going through every unit, Hansen said. They found 64 more fire violations and 70 more property violations, he said. The city distributed leaflets at the complex in August

nice apartment at 32nd and Girard. ... It was a beautiful apartment. It even had a button to press for the car to go in the underground garage.� In 1935 the couple built a house at 16th Avenue and 52nd Street. They had two children, Sandra Dee and Paul William. “That house looks really nice� today, McDonald said. “In fact, about 30 years ago it was selling for $65,000.� They followed Sandy’s family out to Burnsville in 1968. Nearing retirement, Paul Sr. had left Pillsbury and worked in industrial relations at other companies. “He was considered quite expert in that,� McDonald said. At first, McDonald recalled, she wasn’t entirely taken with her new neighbors in the far-flung suburb.

asking residents to report problems. City officials met with Lindahl’s attorney on Sept. 9 and Sept. 30, Hansen said. The city has cited Country Village for six code violations, according to a city staff report, but five were dismissed after Hutchison requested instead a formal summons and complaint. The remaining citation is scheduled for pretrial on Dec. 14. Lindahl also owns apartment complexes in Shakopee, Mankato and Wayzata. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

“They thought Burnsville was a regular Edina,� she said. “I never was a social climber,� she added. McDonald remained quite vigorous into her 80s, Ekblad said. She mowed her own steeply graded back lawn and walked up the incline of Radisson Drive to wait for the school bus with Ekblad’s youngest daughter. How does a person make it to 102? “Tell me,� McDonald said, seeming genuinely bewildered. “I’d like to know.� “It’s not nutrition,� added her granddaughter. “She’s a poor eater. She likes chocolate. A day without chocolate is a bad day.�

of Wayzata is working to fix the problems by the end of the year. With Delores’ son, Paul, standing at his side, attorney Jason Hutchison said the company at first tried to fix the problems in-house with its own maintenance people, but has since spent “tens of thousands� of dollars on a contractor. “We understand the concerns,� Hutchison told the council. Hansen said the company has told the city it’s allocated about $55,000 for repairs. But that’s a “fraction� of what needs to be spent, Hansen predicted. The complex, located near Savage at 3809 Sibley Street, has a diverse population with a number of nonEnglish-speaking residents. Problems first surfaced in March, when firefighters responding to a grease fire found fire code violations. Firefighters had residents approaching them with other complaints, LaTourelle said. Since then, Country Village has been a “sevenmonth chronic challenge� that’s consumed 550 hours
