Lakeville sends state letter of intent for Q-Comp teacher pay system School Board review still needed by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Lakeville School District has mailed a letter of intent to the Minnesota Department of Education to apply for the state’s teacher payfor-performance system. An analysis by the Pioneer Press newspaper in March found that 99 percent of the 10,000 educators participating in “Quality Compensation” (Q-Comp) received
bonuses in 2012. Metro teachers in districts using QComp reLisa Snyder ceived an ave rag e $1,864 in bonuses, that paper reported in March. Superintendent Lisa Snyder wrote in an administrative newsletter to district administration that she and Education

M i n n e s o t a - L a ke v i l l e President Don Sinner have signed the letter of intent for Q-Comp. She said the district intends to reconvene a committee to review and update a previous plan that was never implemented in the district. She added that the district “will not formally bring this to the board until after the fall levy.” Snyder also invited administrators to let her know if they are interest-
ed in being a part of the work. According to a Department of Education template of the letter of intent, the district must indicate an amount of money to set aside for staff development during the transition year to develop an alternative teacher professional pay system. The letter also asks districts to indicate a levy certification amount of up to $91 per student,
and list the names of all employees and school sites to be included in the application. District Communications Director Linda Swanson said the letter the district sent is not public until it has been approved by the School Board.

Lakeville police officers arrested two burglary suspects Friday, Aug. 9, near downtown Lakeville, but a third potential suspect remains at large after an extensive search that included a State Patrol helicopter and K-9 units. Marquis Marvin Mitchell and Lamario Darell Isiakpere, both 19 and residents of Burnsville, are in jail and charged with firstdegree burglary in the incident, which started after a Lakeville police officer noticed a residence’s garage and service door open at around 4 a.m. The officer woke up the owners of the home on 211th Street, who quickly realized they had been robbed. Police Chief Tom Vonhof said a tracking application on the homeowners’ missing iPad led police
City proposing adding staff to manage increased growth
by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Single-family home construction in Lakeville is on such an upswing it is setting the standard in the metro area. Lakeville issued more building permits for new single-family construction than any other city in the Twin Cities, according to new figures from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. Lakeville led the area in July by issuing 38 single-family permits, and developers so far this year have purchased 210 permits, more than any other metro city. Prior Lake came in second on the list for July, granting 32 singlefamily permits, but for the yearto-date totals, Woodbury slid into second place below Lakeville with 205 permits so far in 2013. Lakeville Community Development Director Dave Olson said the city is on track to meet projections that 315 total building permits would be sold by year-end. He said there appears to be a resurgence of the existing home real estate market, which drives new home sales as sellers often look at new construction housing opportunities.
$
“We think this is a trend that is probably going to continue certainly into next year and probably the year after that,” Olson said. He said developers are choosing to build in Lakeville because of its convenient location, quality schools and availability of land. Olson said builders are also reporting increased movement in the real estate market, a trend Troy Johnson of Fieldstone Family Homes confirmed is happening in Lakeville. “People are really excited to move to Lakeville,” Johnson said. “We’re even starting to see a scarcity of lots.” He and his brothers started their company in 2008, when the recession hit hard. Johnson called it a difficult year, but said the market turnaround has helped them grow their custom home building company throughout the Twin Cities. Many other builders are expanding in Lakeville as evidenced by City Council agendas that sometimes have included resolutions to forward multiple construction projects.

Rabbits are bad listeners
Weniger sisters enjoy participating in rabbit agility by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
When the Weniger family came to the Dakota County Fair a few years ago, it wasn’t the thrilling rides or the sugary treats that captured their attention. Sisters Lauren, 9, and Mackenzie, 13, were enamored with the rabbits, particularly the agility demonstrations in which rabbits and their owners attempt an obstacle course. “It was fun to watch them jump over things and see how fast they can run,� said Mackenzie, whose family lives in Farmington. The girls asked their parents if they could have pet rabbits, join 4-H, and join in the fun. They quickly learned that rabbits are not the

The hope is the rabbits will circle around the cones, leap through tires, traverse ramps, and dance over 2-inch-high pipes along the agility course with relative ease. “If they won’t jump, you have to give them a little push, but you lose points,� Mackenzie said. This year Lauren and Mackenzie were among about 40 youths who participated in the rabbit agility demonstrations throughout fair week and during the competition on Friday night. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. It’s almost all rabbit-dependent. Like the halls of a high school, the rabbit community features several diverse personality traits.

ile and confident rabbits. They make the best rabbits for competition. “It’s easy for our kinds of rabbits, because they’re runners,� Lauren said. “They’re better at jumping than showing.� Experience also matters. “Last year was a bit frustrating because they would lay down like, ‘Do I have to?’ � Mackenzie said. “You had to lift them up to jump over things.� After a year of experience, the rabbits seemingly know what they’re getting into. “It’s more fun because they know the course,� Lauren said. “They start to get the hang of it.� During the offseason, the girls take their rabbits – Caramel and Flashers – for walks around the yard to make them more comfortable wearing a leash. “We set up sticks for

Rabbits are popular pets in urban settings. The biggest expense is the cage, and rabbits don’t need to make regular visits to a veterinarian like cattle do. In a more populated county such as Dakota, several youths who participate in rabbit agility live in the city, miles away from a farm. But rabbits might just be the beginning for the Weniger sisters. Mackenzie said she wants to leave the city and be a farmer when she grows up.

Lakeville man dies in motorcycle accident Dustin Rahier was popping wheelies before motorcycle flipped by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A Lakeville man died just days before his birthday, after an Aug. 10 motorcycle accident on Highway 50 and Holt Avenue. Dustin Rahier, 38, was in eastbound traffic popping wheelies on a Kawasaki motorcycle when vehicles in front of him slowed down, causing him to brake hard and roll, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The State Patrol reported Rahier suffered a
Dustin Rahier serious injury in the crash, and a White Funeral Home obituary reported he died that day. Rahier was taking part in the Northfield Historical Society’s sixth annual
Outlaw Run fundraiser. The event starts with a reenactment of the attempted bank robbery in Northfield committed by gangs led by Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers on Sept. 7, 1876. The robbery ended with two gang members and two townspeople dead; the Younger brothers were eventually captured, but the James brothers escaped. Outlaw Run motorcyclists explore southern Minnesota as the gangs did before the attempted
robbery. Northfield Historical Society Executive Director Hayes Scriven said the accident happened just as the group of about 230 motorcyclists were leaving a New Trier restaurant, the group’s first stop on the trip. Scriven said he was in the chase vehicle, which follows the riders and contains a first aid kit and cellphone for emergencies; the group also included nurses and emergency medical technicians. He said an emergency
Farmington police chase ends with three damaged police cars by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Farmington Police Department participated in its own demolition derby of sorts last week while chasing a suspect along Highway 3. Patrick Christopher Armstrong, 28, of Rosemount, led police on a chase that resulted in damage to three Farmington police cars on Aug. 6. According to the police report, Armstrong called officers in Farmington stating that he was in his vehicle in Rambling River Park and he had a gun, knife and sword. He said he wanted four squad cars to show up and he was going to force officers to kill him when they arrived. He also warned he was a large man and would be combative. “He made claims of being armed and suicidal,” Farmington Police Chief Brian Lindquist said. “It obviously gave us quite a bit of concern because parks tend to be a place where there are lots of young people.” When officers arrived at the park, they found Armstrong in an eastern
parking lot and dispatch made attempts to contact him again. “He made some rather disparaging comments about hurting police and himself,” Lindquist said. “We tried to close down roads around him before he went mobile.” But before they were able to surround him, Armstrong fled northbound on Highway 3, swerving in and out of traffic. Police officers conducted pursuit intervention techniques, where police used their own vehicles to strike Armstrong’s car, which eventually forced the vehicle off the road near Empire Township. Three police cars made contact with Armstrong’s vehicle. The first marked police vehicle forced the suspect’s car to do a 360-degree turn and the second car suffered frontend damage while attempting to push the suspect’s car off the road. The third car suffered damage to its passenger side. Armstrong exited his vehicle, but refused to comply with officers’ orders. Officers discharged their stun guns three times before incapacitating Armstrong and he was taken
into custody. “There were no injuries to police or himself,” Lindquist said. “It was just a bad day for property.” A search of Armstrong’s car revealed a folding knife in the passenger seat, a knife in the glove box, a small sword in the trunk and an opened bottle of whiskey in the front passenger door. The department didn’t charge him with an alcohol-related offense. The police report did not mention finding a gun. He was charged with fleeing a peace officer and obstructing the legal process, both felonies, which carry a maximum combined sentence of eight years in custody and/ or a $15,000 fine. Two of the vehicles are expected to be repaired, but Lindquist said, “I haven’t heard back from insurance, but considering the damage and how much the car is worth, there’s a high probability it will be totaled.” Email Andy Rogers andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Stolen SUV recovered after cross-country journey A stolen SUV logged some long miles before it was located by Apple Valley police last week. The vehicle – a beige 2006 Lincoln Navigator – traveled more than 1,000 miles in just over a day’s time. Reported stolen Aug. 7 in Helena, Mont., it was tracked down the following day near McAndrews Road and Galaxie Avenue in Apple Valley. According to Apple Valley police, an employee of a gas station at County Road 42 and Johnny Cake Ridge Road called 911 on Aug. 8 to report that a man driving an SUV had pumped gas and drove off without paying. A patrol officer located the vehicle a short time later on McAndrews Road, but the driver of the SUV fled, leading police on a chase through Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville and Bloomington. During the chase in Bloomington, police lost sight
of the vehicle, and the SUV was later found abandoned on the 8700 block of Dupont Avenue. No damage to the vehicle was reported. While the suspect – a 25-year-old Worthington, Minn., man – managed to evade arrest in the police chase, he was later arrested in Bloomington on an unrelated warrant. According to Montana-based KXLH news, the Lincoln Navigator was reported stolen Aug. 7 by a woman who’d parked it on the street near her place of employment in Helena. She had locked the vehicle, but the keys to the SUV were stolen out of her purse sometime during the work day, she told police. On Monday, Apple Valley police were making arrangements for the owner to pick up the recovered SUV. —Andrew Miller
medical technician witnessed the crash and was at Rahier’s side within a minute of the accident. Rahier was awake but then lost consciousness at the scene, Scriven said. Historical Society members are devastated by the loss, and Scriven said they will be meeting to determine whether to continue holding the fundraiser or to make changes to it. Two minor accidents have happened to riders participating in the event in the past: one rider lost
the sole of his shoe when his motorcycle slipped on loose gravel and another rider broke an ankle. “I’m still trying to comprehend this,” Scriven said, fighting tears. “This is something that’s going to live with me for the rest of my life. It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever been around.” A celebration of Rahier’s life was held Wednesday, Aug. 14, at White Funeral Home in Lakeville. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
Woman gets six months for stealing from Eagan employer by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A woman received about six months in jail for stealing nearly $80,000 from her former Eagan employer. Dawn Westphal, 43, formerly of Rosemount, was sentenced in Dakota County District Court on Aug. 12 to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation for stealing the funds while working as an office manager at an Eagan telecommunications company. District Judge Jerome Abrams also ordered Westphal to pay $88,391 in restitution. Westphal, now living in Minot, N.D., pleaded guilty on May 28 to five counts of theft by swindle. Four other counts were dismissed. Westphal told police she stole $79,945 from her employer from February 2006 to January 2011 because she couldn’t make the mortgage payments on her home after becoming divorced in 2005. She admitted that she took the money by writing checks to herself and depositing them into her personal account. West-
phal then falsified the business’ ledger. Westphal told police she was too proud to ask for help and knew subconsciously she would never pay back the funds. She said she wanted to take full responsibility for the theft. After she resigned from the company, irregularities were found in the business’ bank accounts that Westphal was responsible for managing and it was determined that some funds were deposited into Westphal’s personal bank account. When the business sent Westphal a demand for payment, she responded with a check for about $8,550 and stated that she would attempt to reimburse the remaining amount at a rate of $1,100 per month, according to the criminal complaint. Westphal further stated that if they are not able to agree to the terms, she will “turn myself in to the authorities.” Eagan police were contacted by the business in May 2011.

Opinion
Honoring a broader array of students’ skills by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Powerful, personal and passionate. That’s how I’d describe more than 20 responses to a column I wrote recommending a “second opinion” in medicine and education. All over Minnesota, and the U.S., people described themselves or their children as benefiting from a second view. Here are a few examples and what this can mean for schools. Bill wrote: “My son was the kind of good-with-your-hands-bad-at-academics kid you describe. … Adopted at age 7, (he) is a carpenter, and the smartest guy with his hands I know.” Karen, now an internationally recognized college professor recalled: “My third-grade teacher told my mother that I wasn’t college material! Amazing.” Thomas explained, “I was in shop class in seventh grade and couldn’t plane a piece of wood straight while other kids I thought were dumb were making incredible inlaid chessboards. The teacher took me aside one day and said, ‘Even though you’re not so good
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Joe Nathan at this, you are good at the things that are important for being a success in life.’… I’ve (spent) a good portion of my career … advocating for the kids in shop class who made the great chessboards!” Matthew wrote: “Cursive was a major problem with my teachers – not because of the product, but because of how I held my pencil. I had fluid, excellent writing, but my grip was ‘wrong.’ This resulted in calls home in second grade and a recommendation to be in the ‘Cursive Club,’ … a remedial cursive session in place of recess one day a week, in fifth grade. “My parents thought it was ridiculous, so they (and I) ignored it. … I have unique, clear, elegant cursive (and I only write in cursive) that has served me well. Years ago … I made a font of
a print version of my handwriting. It’s been downloaded over 400,000 times. “In addition, I was recommended to go to speech therapy when I was about 12. Turned out my teeth had to be adjusted a bit. I had two removed. By 15 or so I was in great shape. I love public speaking, it’s one of my favorite things.” Tom, a newspaper editor, recalled: “As for shop class, I was a C student there, too. I did much better in more classical studies like history, English and math. In some ways, I wish it were otherwise. When something goes wrong on the home front, I often say to my wife, ‘Call the man,’ instead of trying to fix it myself.” Gary, a veteran educator, believes, “one size does not fit all, or even most. Ideally, every student would have an Individual Education Plan. … Each student has his or her unique interests, skills, learning styles, and personalities. … As kids … we knew that we were better at some things than others and other kids were better than we were at other things.” Gary recommended Ken Robinson’s illustrated lecture on changing schools (www.youtube.com/
watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U). Rosanne, formerly a Florida principal, responded: “The more alternatives we have for our students, the more success stories we’ll have. … Given the right school environment, all students can succeed.” Wayne, a veteran award-winning educator, wisely concluded: “A serious shortcoming of conventional schooling is that nonacademic students (not good at reading and/or math) are treated as poor or failures. That takes an enormous toll on a student’s sense of self when, in fact, the student may be strong in nonacademic areas. In schools, those areas just don’t count for much – a tragedy. … When will we learn and act upon the fact that not all students learn the same? Or that schools need to recognize, prize and reward many kinds of learning? To do otherwise continues an inhumane aspect of schooling.” Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota Public School teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.
Letters Investing in our Kline should be future a leader To the editor: It seems that thin skin is not reserved to incumbents. After a letter criticizing Congressman John Kline for an after-the-fact remedy to help corporations gain candidates for precious slots in their tables of organization, defenders of the incumbent used their best defense, a sharp offense, in attacks against a possible opponent in 2014, Mike Obermueller. One letter criticized Obermueller’s candidacy by citing two of his former supporters who are now also running against Kline. These candidacies show the vulnerability of the incumbent. People are lining up to oppose him. Kline’s strategy for an improved economy is a job and career fair, the main beneficiaries of which may be the corporations who took many applications. Obermueller’s strategy involves funding pre-school education and enacting promised funding for special education, steps the incumbent has so far rejected, even in his role as chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. I think this illustrates a basic difference between Obermueller and the incumbent. Obermueller works for a solution that empowers young people, well before they are damaged by an economy Kline has helped to create. Kline seeks symbolic solutions like job fairs, more likely to help corporations than the wide expanse of people who are unemployed and underemployed themselves, even in an improving economy.

To the editor: I am writing to ask U.S. Rep. John Kline to recognize the reality and urgency of the climate crisis and work to pass legislation that supports curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Did he have a chance to read the New York Times or Star Tribune (Aug. 6) article by former EPA administrators Ruckelshaus, Thomas, Reilly and Whitman? These Republicans correctly state that “there is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts” and “the costs of inaction are undeniable.” Kline’s leadership in Congress could be pivotal to building support for a market-based approach that does not grow government, returns all revenue to households, does not rely on costly subsidies, and does not have government pick the winners and losers. According to the former EPA administrators “a market-based approach, like a carbon tax, would be the best path to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.” Conservatives such as Bob Inglis, George Schultz, Art Laffer and Kevin Hassett have also endorsed this approach. For the sake of our children, our health, and a strong economy, we have a moral imperative to face the reality of our changing climate and enact legislation now to steadily reduce GHG emissions.

Kline’s student loan stunt To the editor: Our Federal Reserve lends our tax money to banks at 0.5 percent over prime. Shouldn’t our tax money be lent to our kids, the students, at the same
rate we give to banks? However, U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, makes laws to give our tax money first to the banks at the low rate and then allow these banks to lend this money to our kids at 4-8 percent over prime. Consequently student loans rates will double, while the banks profit again at taxpayer expense. Students in other countries don’t need loans because their government makes their education free. They value educating engineers or doctors. However, Kline only promotes the free education to learn how to be a solider and make war. We listen to him and ended up with the fox in charge of the hen house. Now we are paying for letting Kline pull the wool over our eyes. Think, how an honest representative working for

claiming that increasing government aid to local cities and counties qualifies as property tax relief. In a sense, they are right. Many communities around Minnesota receive local government aid (LGA) and could use those increased payments to lower their overall levy. Unfortunately, our communities do not receive LGA. That means that there’s no new government money coming in that would allow the cities of Apple Valley, Rosemount and Coates to lower their property tax levies. In fact, it was decided at Monday night’s school board meeting that the Apple Valley-Eagan-Rosemount School District will be asking taxpayers for $10 million per year – which works out to about $184 for the owner of a $225,000 home, the average for the School District. If passed, that would mean a property tax increase for residents in our area. I hope this clears up the issue for you.

Partnership Garden at SES brings community together by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
There are good things growing at the Partnership Garden in Apple Valley, and it’s about more than just food. Created in 2010 and located on the School of Environmental Studies campus, the garden is as much about building community as it is about growing vegetables, according to Pat Schoenecker, one of the garden’s founders. “Our goal is to serve as an inspiration and to educate,� Schoenecker said. “The idea all along has been to inspire people that gardening is interesting.� The all-organic garden saw its first growing season in 2011. Circular in shape, it features 17 individual “keyhole� plots surrounded by taller field crops, which are tended to by everyone involved. There’s a beehive on the periphery of the garden, maintained by Pinewood Elementary Principal Cris Town, which helps with pollination. And high school students from the School of Environmental

The city ranked No. 28 in 2007, No. 24 in 2008, and No. 20 in 2010. Apple Valley was one of three Minnesota cities to crack the top 50 on the list this year. Southwest Twin Cities suburb Chanhassen ranked No. 4, and the city of Savage in Scott County was No. 21. A full list of the top 50 is at http://money.cnn. com.

The city of Apple Valley received some high praise recently from CNN’s Money magazine. Apple Valley earned the No. 17 spot on this year’s list of America’s Best Places to Live, the magazine’s annual ranking of the nation’s most livable small cities. The rankings are determined by economic, housing, education and quality-of-life statistics, as well as factors such as arts and leisure opportunities. In its profile of Apple Valley, Money magazine noted the city’s wide range of affordable homes, the recent addition of the $112 million bus rapidtransit system and amenities that include the Minnesota Zoo and 53 parks.

Brent Iliof, who’s maintained a plot in the garden since its inception, took a soil sample and tended to the variety of peppers in his keyhole plot during the open house. “I’ve got six different types of peppers – a pepper in every color, basically,� he said. “It’s fun because you can experiment. This place definitely beats going to the grocery store.� The group, which donates part of its harvest to local food shelves, is always seeking new gardeners and volunteers. Partnership Garden participants meet the second Thursday of each month, 7-8:30 p.m., at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 12650 Johnny Cake Ridge Road.

Ames Construction to get arts center naming rights Terms of deal await by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Naming rights — and the revenue that goes with them — have proved an elusive catch for the Burnsville Performing Arts Center, which the city opened in 2009. But a deal is finally at hand, involving a storied local company with a rich philanthropic history. The city and Burnsville-based Ames Construction Inc. hope to soon announce a formal agreement granting Ames the naming rights, the city announced Monday. City Council members celebrated the news at their Tuesday work session, deflecting credit to
Mayor Elizabeth Kautz. She personally cultivated the deal with principals of the family-owned company, colleagues said. Council Member Mary Sherry credited the mayor’s “persistence and graciousness.� “Very few companies could afford to do it, and they really did step up,� Council Member Bill Coughlin said. “What a wonderful name that will be attached to the BPAC.� The tentative agreement calls for Ames’ name to grace the arts and event center, which includes a 1,014-seat main theater, a black box theater, meeting spaces and an art gallery. City officials remain tight-lipped about
what kind of money might be involved. Terms of the deal will be solidified this fall, the city said. An old marketing brochure from Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center may or may not offer a clue. The nonprofit, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the center in cash, labor and equipment, was at one time peddling full naming rights for $1.5 million. The Ames deal is yet another step toward better financial health for the center, which was predicted to post annual operating losses but has cut them in recent years. Operating losses to-
taled $285,747 in 2012, compared with $304,853 in 2011, according to the city. And the city negotiated revenue-enhancement incentives in its new contract with VenuWorks, the center’s management company. Ames officials have “seen that the Performing Arts Center has done well,� Kautz said. Ames Construction, a heavy civil and industrial contractor, has Burnsville roots that date back more than 50 years. It has regional offices in several Western and Midwestern states. The company’s vast portfolio of projects ranges from the airport in Denver, Colo., to the
Crosstown/Interstate 35W interchange and the Highway 13/County Road 5 interchange in Burnsville. Naming rights aside, the company has already “made very significant contributions to the construction of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center,� according to a December 2012 council proclamation designating an Ames Construction Week in Burnsville to honor the company’s 50th anniversary. In addition to donating to the arts center, Ames donated the bronze sculpture on the north side of Burnsville Parkway that features a workman and an antique earth mover behind a workhorse. Its many other philan-
thropic projects include the Ames Arena in Lakeville. And Kautz said the company’s contributions to the expansion of Fairview Ridges Hospital now underway “triggered� the project. Company executives include founder and President Richard Ames and his brothers, Raymond (“Butch�) and Ron. “They’re salt of the earth, and they’re wonderful people,� Council Member Dan Kealey said. They have a “tremendous amount of respect and admiration for you,� he told the mayor. John Gessner can be reached at 952-846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Virginia Clardy and family broke the race barrier in Burnsville Matriarch dies at age 95 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
James and Virginia Clardy found their dream home in 1956, on 2.5 acres at 1116 Circle High Drive in rural Burnsville Township. Trouble followed immediately. The Clardys had their driveway blocked repeatedly with dirt and debris. They heard neighbors threaten to burn their house. One night there were guns, said Cathy Clardy Patterson, one of the couple’s six children. Despite the indignities that came with being Burnsville’s first AfricanAmerican family, James and Virginia never regretted it, Clardy Patterson said. “My parents grew up in an era where the central belief was that the reason for prejudice and racial animus was just a lack of exposure,” she said. “They were part of a movement throughout the nation of integrationists, which basically said that if we integrated neighborhoods, people will then learn that we’re all the same. “And although they moved here for better schools, that was only part of the reason they moved here, because they believed they had a civic obligation to be part of that movement. They thought that it was a step to make this a more perfect union.” Virginia lived in the house until last November, when she went to Scottsdale, Ariz., to be with Cathy. Virginia died July 20 in Scottsdale at age 95. She was a nurse, a state health official, a political activist, a world traveler and a mother of six college graduates, some with advanced degrees.

Bull on the loose at the Dakota County Fair Deputy fires contact rounds into animal by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A sense of panic ran through the Dakota County Fairgrounds on Wednesday night when an event put on by a Princeton-based bull riding company turned dangerous. During a Bulls and Barrels event at the Dakota County Fair, at approximately 8:24 p.m. Aug. 7, a bull named Red 43 broke through its pen and ran
into a crowd of fair attendees, injuring eight bystanders and a county deputy. Barbara Goggins of Cottage Grove was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with a head injury. By late last week, Goggins was upgraded to satisfactory condition. One of the injured was Dakota County Deputy Matthew Regis, who fired two shots at the bull at close range in an attempt to stop Red 43 before being trampled. “He was doing his job,” Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows said. “I thought he demonstrat-
ed a lot of courage. But we found a 2,000 pound animal didn’t respond to gun shots as much as we hoped.” Red 43 left his pen near the grandstand and headed to the north gate, where Regis confronted the bull in a large, open area while officers created a line between the bull and the fairgoers. Red 43 then went back south. “The deputy acted accordingly,” Bellows said. “I support what he did. That’s his job, to stop the bull from injuring other people. The way he describes it, it was contact rounds. The gun was

As college students begin the process of getting settled on campus, fighting fraud may not be their top priority. However, college students are among the most susceptible to identity theft, and the Better Business Bureau recommends eight simple steps they can take to protect themselves as the school year begins: 1. Sign up for security alerts on your accounts and have them sent to your mobile phone. This simple safeguard will tell you immediately if changes have been made to any of your accounts. 2. Have sensitive mail sent to your parents’ home or a post office box. School mailboxes are not always secure and are often easily accessible in a dorm or

“It was a topic of conversation for everybody,” fair board member Chris Wright said. “It’s really sad that it did happen. We feel bad for the people that got injured. I’m glad it wasn’t more serious than it was, but it did affect the whole fair.” When asked if the fair was planning on scheduling a rodeo again in the future, Wright said “It’s still up for discussion. Generally after the fair we’ll all get together to recap. I would not be opposed to doing another rodeo.” Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
apartment. 3. Store your important documents under lock and key. This includes your Social Security card, passport and bank and credit card statements. Shred credit card offers and any paper documents that contain sensitive financial information rather than just tossing them in a dorm trash can. 4. Never lend your credit or debit card to anyone. Just say no if your friend wants to borrow your card or asks you to co-sign for a loan or financing for items like a TV. 5. Make sure your computer has up-to-date antivirus and spyware detection software. Always install any updates and patches to your computer’s operat-
ing system or browser software, which help keep your computer safe from any new advances by online identity thieves. 6. Always check your credit or debit card statements closely for any suspicious activity. The sooner you identify any potential fraud, the less you’ll suffer in the long run. 7. Check out and verify unfamiliar websites with the BBB. Visit bbb.org and look for the BBB Accredited Business seal along with other trust seals; click on these seals to confirm that they are legitimate. 8. Check your credit report at least once a year. For more helpful tips, visit www.bbb.org/us/bbbnews.
“My mother was very politically active,” a trait she encouraged in her children, Clardy Patterson said. “She held a number of positions in the DFL Party. She worked on a number of races. In fact, Hubert Humphrey (the late senator and vice president) dubbed her the ‘Queen Bee of Burnsville’ because he said she could organize anything.” Virginia, whose husband died in 1999, loved gardening, canning and healthy eating. She taught Red Cross swim lessons in Lakeville and was the first president of the Lakeville Lioness Club. She was a die-hard Vikings fan who once dyed her hair purple. She traveled late into her life, visiting Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Greece in her 93rd year. “You didn’t see a lot of wrinkles,” said Mary Fran-
ces, who now occupies the home at 1116 Circle High Drive. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Mattie Frances Price Smith and James Price; brother, James Russell Price Sr.; and husband, James E. Clardy Sr. She is survived by her sons, Winston Clardy of Huntsville, Ala., James Clardy Jr. of Minneapolis and David (Victoria) Clardy of Minneapolis; daughters, Rebecca Clardy of Minneapolis, Cathy Clardy Patterson (Ross) of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mary Frances Clardy of Burnsville; grandsons, Bryan and Nathaniel; granddaughters, Khadijah, Virginia, Amatullah and Davina; and many relatives and friends.

into his pen. “It was probably one of the busiest Wednesday nights I’ve ever seen,” Bellows said. “The potential for any large scale injuries were avoided. He was close to the main road and there were so many people. I feel it was very fortunate.” The incident happened during an event by Rice Bull Riding Co., which hails from Princeton. The bull was owned by Gold Medal Cattle Company in Wisconsin. According to the Gold Medal Cattle Company, the bull was euthanized the next day. The fair wasn’t the same after the incident.

St. Olaf senior Erik Brust is reluctant to call himself a CEO. “I guess that’s the title I’d give myself,” he said. Brust is studying economics at St. Olaf College, though much of his learning has been taking place outside of the classroom. In addition to being a fulltime student, the young CEO also runs a frozen fruit bar business called JonnyPops. JonnyPops are all-natural frozen fruit bars with a change-the-world mentality. Unlike most frozen fruit bars, JonnyPops are locally-made, are free of any dyes or preservatives and are made predominantly of fruit. The gourmet fruit bars come in four flavors: Summer Strawberry, Merry Mountain Berry, Coconut Pineapple Paradise and Choco-Latte. In keeping with the company’s “a better pop for a better world” philosophy, JonnyPops inscribe inspirational messages on each popsicle stick to leave customers with a positive take away. JonnyPops are the brainchild of Mahtomedi High School graduate Brust and was founded during his first year at St. Olaf when he and a few friends got to talking about entrepreneurial ideas. Brust had a desire to start a natural-foods company, an idea he thought up with his cousin Jonathan “Jonny” Jeffrey. The

Football season near, and optimism is high Here are a few things to watch for in 2013 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
While a few high school football teams were allowed to start practice one week early in anticipation of “Zero Week” games in the third week of August, most started officially, with coaches presents, on Monday. Sun Thisweek Newspapers will have previews of the eight football teams in its coverage area next week. Until then, here are a few things to watch for as they gear up for their opening games Aug. 29 and 30. Apple Valley (8-3 last season; reached Class 5A quarterfinals): The challenge for new head coach Chad Clendening will be continuing the progress the Eagles made in their turnaround year in 2012. The numbers in the program are larger, and the Eagles return quarterback Tommy Singer and most of their starting offensive linemen. Burnsville (3-6; lost in first round of Class 6A playoffs): Quarterback Will Reger and defensive back Brett Shepley are among those returning
to help the Blaze try to forget the way last season finished, when it lost five consecutive games after starting 3-1. Eagan (1-8; lost in first round of Class 6A playoffs): Another team in search of a bounceback season. One sign the Wildcats weren’t that far away last year is they lost by a combined four points to Rosemount and Eastview, two teams that reached the final eight in Class 6A. Linebacker Joe Kovach led the team in defensive points as a sophomore. Eastview (7-4; reached Class 6A quarterfinals): The rushing game is one of the things the Lightning does best, and Eastview returns junior Will Rains, who scored 21 touchdowns and rushed for almost 1,600 yards last season. Quarterback Mark Dwyer and linebacker Jacob Bechstein are among other key returning players. Farmington (7-3; reached Class 5A, Section 3 finals): The Tigers should be ready to roll in their final season in the Missota Conference (they move to the South Suburban next year). They return eight starters on offense and eight on defense. Farmington moves up a class, to 6A, for the playoffs this season. Lakeville North (11-2;
Lakeville North football players gathered in their locker room at the Metrodome before taking on Eden Prairie in the Class 6A championship game at the 2012 Prep Bowl. (File photo by Rick Orndorf) reached Class 6A finals): Can the Panthers match last year’s run to the Prep Bowl? They scored 23 points or more in 11 of their 13 games last season, winning all 11. Jamiah Newell, an 1,100-yard rusher, returns from that explosive offense. North will have to be ready early as its season opener is at
home against Lakeville South, which is itching for revenge for last season’s 47-24 loss. Lakeville South (4-5; lost in first round of Class 6A playoffs): The Cougars struggled uncharacteristically last year, with turnovers often at the root of the problem. They could be stout on defense, as re-
turnees A.J. Westrude and Josh Corcoran were among their leading tacklers. Rosemount (7-5 overall; reached Class 6A semifinals): After losing three of their first four games, the Irish turned things around abruptly. Quarterback Jackson Erdmann and running back/receiver Dimitri Williams helped

et game. The Cobras, who trailed 4-1 in the eighth inning, scored three of their final four runs on wild pitches, including Smith’s game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Eden Prairie defeated Burnsville twice in the Minnesota state tournament. “The biggest play of the whole tournament for us was Cooper Maas covering home plate when Luke Lind of Eden Prairie tried to score on a wild pitch in the eighth inning,” Nesbitt said. “If he scores, it makes it that much tougher for us to come back.” Getting over the hurdle
Apple Valley High School boys basketball star Tyus Jones made an unofficial visit to the University of Minnesota on Tuesday and set a schedule for official visits to four other colleges he is considering. On Tuesday, he announced on his Twitter account (@Tyusjones06) that he would make official visits to Baylor (Aug. 30-Sept. 1), Kentucky (Sept. 27-29), Kansas (Oct. 18-20) and Duke (Oct. 2527). Student-athletes are allowed a maximum of five official visits, meaning Jones could add one to his schedule. He also is considering Michigan State and Ohio State. Jones was not expected to include Minnesota on his list of official visits because he’s already a fairly frequent visitor to the campus. Unless he commits before taking all of his visits, it appears unlikely he will announce a decision much before Nov. 13, the start of the early National Letter of Intent signing period for basketball. Another South Suburban Conference player, Lakeville North guard J.P. Macura, also has visited Minnesota. The Gophers are the first Big Ten team to offer him a scholarship, but he has attracted interest from a number of other Division I programs, including Butler, Purdue, Iowa State, Kansas State, Florida State, Boston College and Xavier.

Until this year, the Third District team that came closest was the Apple Valley 76ers, who were second in a regional in 2007. Burnsville (35-10) clinched its place in the national tournament with a 15-5 victory over Omaha (Neb.) Westside on Monday in a game shortened to seven innings because of the 10-run rule. In their previous four games at the regional, the Cobras displayed solid pitching, timely hitting and a knack for forcing opponents into mistakes. In the championship game
they sprayed the ball all over Jack Williams Stadium, finishing with 20 hits (19 of them singles) in seven innings. Tyler Hanson, the regional tournament MVP, was 5-for-5 with three runs and two RBI in the championship game. He batted.563 for the tournament and had two pitching victories. Eric Watters and Camden Traetow had three hits each in the championship game. Tyler Hill was 2-for4 with two RBI. Aaron Rozek pitched the first six innings and earned the victory. At one point, Burnsville led 15-0 in the championship game.
“In some of our earlier (regional) games, it took until the second or third time through the lineup before we felt comfortable at the plate,” Nesbitt said. “(Monday), everything fell in.” Zach Smith pitched a complete game and Joe Keller’s two-run double keyed a Burnsville rally as the Cobras defeated defending regional champion Omaha Creighton Prep 7-3 on Aug. 11. Cooper Maas had a two-run double and Hanson pitched a complete game as Burnsville beat Carroll County, Iowa, 4-3 on Aug. 10. On Aug. 9, Burnsville rallied to beat Eden Prairie 5-4 in a winners’ brack-

by Mike Shaughnessy Burnsville won the Central Plains Regional American Legion baseball tournament on Monday but – for now – has been denied a triumphant return home. “We’re still in Fargo,” Cobras coach Greg Nesbitt said Tuesday, referring to the North Dakota city where the regional tournament was held. “If you win the regional, they don’t let you leave.” The American Legion arranged for regional champions to fly this week from the sites of their regional tournaments to North Carolina. For Burnsville, that meant boarding a flight from Fargo at 5:45 a.m. Wednesday. The American Legion World Series begins Friday in Shelby, N.C., with Burnsville playing Great Lakes Regional champion Napoleon, Ohio, at 8:30 a.m. The national tournament runs through Tuesday, Aug. 20. All games will be available via online streaming on ESPN3. For the Cobras, it could mean almost two weeks on the road. Few if any of the players and coaches expected to be away from home that long. “We had to take one man to the clothing store (Tuesday) to get him something for the flight,” Nesbitt said. “Our parents have been great to us. They’ve been doing laundry. They even did my laundry, which is something I really appreciated.” A little laundry duty might have been a small price for watching a part of Burnsville baseball history. This is the first Cobras team to reach an American Legion re-
spark the playoff run and are two members of a talented class of juniors in the South Suburban. The early schedule is tough, starting with Wayzata and Eastview in the first two games.

of beating Eden Prairie helped the Cobras believe they had a real chance to win the tournament, the coach said. Now the Cobras will try to take that confidence – and several loads of clean laundry – to North Carolina. Although it’s the first American Legion World Series appearance for Burnsville, Nesbitt said Cobras players told him they played against players from other World Seriesqualifying communities at younger age levels. Minnesota has had five American Legion World Series champions since 1943, including three in the last 14 years. Eden Prairie won the national title in 2011. Not surprisingly, Eden Prairie coach Scott Hackett was one of the first people Nesbitt called after Burnsville won the regional championship. Hackett gave him a lot of sound advice about the logistics of playing in the World Series, Nesbitt said. “The first three calls I made after we won were to my parents, my girlfriend and Scott Hackett,” Nesbitt said. “And I was on the phone with Scott the longest.”

Education Incumbents face one challenger in District 196 race Incumbents in the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School Board race will face only one challenger this November. Apple Valley resident Craig Angrimson filed for candidacy this week along with incumbents Art Coulson, Gary Huusko and Mike Roseen. The four contenders will face off for three four-year term seats on the District 196 School Board. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do all my life,” Angrimson, 57, said. “The community has given me so much. I felt it was time to give back.” He added that he hopes to provide a new perspective to the board. The father of a 16-yearold Eastview High School junior, Angrimson said he believes District 196 is a strong school district but could improve in some ar-
eas. Specifically, Angrimson said he hopes to push for pay increases for district teachers. “The teachers in 196 are great, but I think they aren’t taken care of the way they should be,” he said. Angrimson noted that district teachers incurred pay freezes for several years, and commended Superintendent Jane Berenz for accepting a freeze along with them. If elected, Angrimson said he will work to ensure teachers receive equitable wages. Angrimson said he believes his experience as president of the Local 35 International Union of Operating Engineers will provide an edge in negotiating with educator unions. An increased tax levy referendum is one of the ways Angrimson said he believes the district can
provide pay increases to teachers. Angrimson said he supports the district’s $30 million levy referendum, which will also be on the ballot in November. He said he would support a higher increase than the $10 million that would be added to $20 million in levy renewals. An Apple Valley resident for 21 years, Angrimson said it was District 196’s reputation that brought him to the community. “It’s rated high in education and arts, and it seems every year it has a (Minnesota) teacher of the year,” he said.

As college students begin the process of getting settled on campus, fighting fraud may not be their top priority. However, college students are among the most susceptible to identity theft, and the Better Business Bureau recommends eight simple steps they can take to protect themselves as the school year begins: 1. Sign up for security alerts on your accounts and have them sent to your mobile phone. This simple safeguard will tell you immediately if changes have been made to any of your accounts. 2. Have sensitive mail sent to your parents’ home or a post office box. School mailboxes are not always secure and are often easily accessible in a dorm or apartment. 3. Store your important documents under lock and key. This includes your Social Security card, passport and bank and credit card statements. Shred credit card offers and any paper documents that contain sensitive financial information rather than just tossing them in a dorm trash can. 4. Never lend your credit or debit card to anyone. Just say no if your friend wants to borrow your card or asks you to co-sign for a loan or financing for items like a TV. 5. Make sure your computer has up-to-date antivirus and spyware detection software. Always install any updates and patches to your computer’s operating system or browser software, which help keep your computer safe from

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville August 16, 2013 15A
VETERAN, from 1A ing as a tactical medical operator to help during the most serious high-risk situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is called on weekly for crisis emergencies, high-risk arrests and hostage situations to concurrently treat perpetrators, victims and team members in a consistently superb manner,â&#x20AC;? Gritz wrote. In an interview, Gritz said Sweany has â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous capabilityâ&#x20AC;? to de-escalate people in stressful situations like serious car accidents, hostage situations, high-risk warrant searches or medical crises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great clinician,â&#x20AC;? Gritz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the complete medic.â&#x20AC;? PERMITS, from 1A the year, the City Council approved 10 different residential plats, representing a total of 293 single-family lots, Olson said. In comparison, the city approved 348 platted lots in all of 2012. Olson said more plat approvals are expected this fall. Next week, Lakeville City Council will consider a resolution approving the preliminary plat for the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 12th Addition, east of Pilot Knob Road and south of 160th Street, consisting of 52 single-family lots. City Finance Director Dennis Feller in June reported building permit activity in Lakeville was at its highest level since 2005, and average building permit value was around $325,000, excluding land. The market boost is also benefitting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget.
Sweany has volunteered to train other paramedics and is also part of the Allina EMS Bike Team that provides rapid response at special events and promotes bike safety and fitness. Gritz described Sweany as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an up-front c i t i z e n - s o l d i e r- p o l i c e professional with an enduring, respected ethic of lifesaving to young and old of all colors and creeds,â&#x20AC;? and said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;is deeply appreciated for his courage, work ethic, high medical standards and community service.â&#x20AC;? Sweany said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprised and honoredâ&#x20AC;? when he learned he had been selected as one of the awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural recipients.
He said he loves working as a tactical paramedic because he enjoys helping people, and the job stays exciting because every call has an unknown element to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy it so much,â&#x20AC;? Sweany said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call myself an adrenaline junkie, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved about going into the unknown.â&#x20AC;? Sweany and the other winners will be honored with at a ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the Minnesota Humanities Center, 987 Ivy Ave. E., St. Paul.
Feller projected that by year-end, the increased building activity revenue would boost the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund balance by about $450,000. City Administrator Steve Mielke said increased home building activity also benefits the community and businesses, adds jobs and increases the tax base, but the added expansion of roads, parks and infrastructure also increases the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workload. Mielke recently presented a draft 2014 budget proposal to the City Council seeking additional staff, in part to provide increased services spurred by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The added growth does require the City Council to take a look at our current service levels and analyze if we need to add services and staff,â&#x20AC;? Mielke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of those projections now show weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about a year
behind in the curve. We added a couple hundred homes last year, and now 300 more this year.â&#x20AC;? Some of the proposed budget additions include a police investigator, an assistant fire chief, a fleet supervisor and an engineering technician position. Mielke said that new development also brings in revenue to help pay the costs for the additional services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is always to have growth pay for itself,â&#x20AC;? he said. During preliminary discussions, council members have urged caution in hiring and recommended using technology to help reduce expenses. The council will set a maximum levy this fall, but may reduce it before it is finalized in December.

Q-COMP, from 1A ed in 2005 to tie teacher compensation to student achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time the Legislature wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to put any money into it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Board Chair Roz Peterson said the proposal is in its infancy and would require stakeholder involvement and board approval to be implemented. She said the district is â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearly financially strappedâ&#x20AC;? and Q-Comp may be a creative way to compensate effective teachers in the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think the public appreciates performance and tie it to pay when it comes to public employees,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board is always open to looking at new ways of doing things and see if they make sense.â&#x20AC;? Laura Adelmann is at l a u ra . a d e l m a n n @ e c m inc.com.
ARRESTS, from 1A burglarized.â&#x20AC;? About an hour after the arrests, another Lakeville resident reported a suspicious person hiding in some bushes in the same area. Police set up a six-block perimeter, closing roads and asking residents to stay inside. All Lakeville officers responded, bringing in K-9 units and reinforcements from Farmington, Bloomington and the State Patrol, which employed its helicopter to assist searchers in the area of 210th Street and Dodd

Boulevard. Vonhof said officers several times spotted the suspect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 6-foot black male, 150 pounds, wearing dark clothing and a light-colored baseball cap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from several residential yards away. But the suspect was not caught and eventually darted into a wooded area along the railroad tracks by 210th Street. The search ended at around 12:30 p.m. Friday. Lakeville detectives are working to determine the identity of the third person. Anyone with additional information is asked
to contact the Lakeville police at 952-985-2800. Vonhof credited officers for their work at discovering the burglaries before they were reported, getting the suspects into custody and recovering all items that were missing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great piece of police work by our officers,â&#x20AC;? Vonhof said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of those things that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the suspicion of officers that led to arrests and the recovery of missing items before they were even reported.â&#x20AC;?

It’s Beethoven’s opera of revolution and liberation, retold with secret agents, covert operations and undercover antics – plus some reggae music thrown in for good measure. Feel free to bring a picnic dinner. Twin Cities-based theater group Mixed Precipitation is bringing back its hugely popular Picnic Operetta tour for a fifth season, and will be staging “Agent Fidelio” at community gardens and other public venues this month and next. A south-of-the-river performance of “Agent Fidelio” is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at Caponi Art Park in Eagan. Beethoven’s opera “Fidelio,” first staged in 1805, tells the story of a woman who disguises herself as a prison guard to rescue her husband from death in a political prison. Mixed Precipitation’s comic take on the opera features Beethoven’s soaring arias and choruses, mixed with the reggae of Jimmy Cliff and other audio idiosyncrasies. The event is the final show in Caponi’s Summer Performance Series,
which kicked off June 23 with a concert by the Minnesota Sinfonia and has offered theater, music and dance on Sunday evenings throughout the summer. Admission to “Agent Fidelio” is free with a $5 suggested donation. Guests are encouraged to
bring lawn chairs or a blanket to spread on the grassy slopes of Caponi’s Theater in the Woods outdoor amphitheater. More about the performance is at www.caponiartpark.org. —Andrew Miller
