Collaboration could benefit south-metro cities

by Aaron Vehling

come a part of the entity is Rosemount, whose city council witnessed a presentation last week by Kathy Schmidlkofer, an executive at General Mills who is spearheading the effort. City Administrator Dwight Johnson sees potential for Rosemount achieving positive returns on a possible $10,000 membership investment. The cost of not having a national marketing presence is too much, he said.

For at least the past decade, urban studies theorists such as Richard Florida have illustrated how a modern metropolitan area, for all intents and purposes, functions as a single municipal entity. While this is true to some extent in the MinneapolisSt. Paul metro, cities or pockets generally operate in much more of a Balkanized fashion, even with the Metropolitan Council and other cross-border relationships

The Itasca Project, a cadre of representatives from the business community, asserts this lack of unified marketing has cost the Twin Cities metro area economic opportunities as businesses choose other ar-

Third on Woodward’s plan, prosecutors allege, was the murder of Stacey, which was to be in the Sturgis area the following August. According to the complaint, Woodward anticipated the murders gaining national media attention. Backstrom did not offer comment on the story, but sent a statement to employees Sept. 29, the day the charges were announced. In the statement, Backstrom said he asked that the drug case be prosecuted in Rice County to avoid conflict of interest, noting that he witnessed frequent shortterm automobile traffic in and out of the Woodward house at all hours of the day and night. As a result of the investigation, Woodward was transferred to a prison in Oak Park Heights. Backstrom stated, “This has been upsetting to me and my family, as I am sure it has been to the other victims involved. I am grateful for the work of the many investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, who have been involved in this case and have the utmost confidence in the Rice County Attorney who is pursuing this prosecution.� Woodward’s next court appearance is Oct. 18 at 10:30 am in Rice County.

Grandstay Hotel in Apple Valley to open its new banquet, conference center by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley’s Central Village was dealt a hard blow by the faltering housing market and economy over the last few years. Business after business closed, and it almost appeared the city’s new downtown wouldn’t make it. But now, one prominent business is hoping to breathe new life into the area, and the city as a whole, by adding a missing amenity — a grand banquet hall. The Grandstay Hotel’s $400,000 LaGrand Conference Center is expected to be completed in mid-October. “We hope this will bring additional people to the area and assist local businesses,� Grandstay General Manager Phil Johnson said. Once finished, the 3,800square-foot banquet room will cater to weddings, company banquets,

The bus route includes students from St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Rosemount and Faithful Shepherd in Eagan, but none of them were present at the time of the accident, said District 196 spokesman Tony Taschner in a written statement. The district sent a separate bus to the scene to complete the task of transporting the students home. Also according to Taschner: The district provided all 18 students a letter to give to their parents informing them of the accident. In addition, Scott Highlands Principal Dan Wilharber was able to contact parents of 17 of those students. The letter says counselors will be

An Eagan woman is dead after her 1999 Ford Contour rear-ended a District 196 school bus at 3:20 p.m. Monday at the intersection of McAndrews Road and Dover Drive in Apple Valley. The bus, occupied by driver Bob Gauer and 18 students from Scott Highlands Middle School, was stopped on westbound McAndrews waiting to make a left turn onto Dover when the Ford Contour struck the right rear portion of the bus and continued off the roadway into the ditch, according to reports from the Apple Valley Police Department. The woman, 78-year-old Gloria Deane Carlson of Eagan, died instantly. There were no passengers in the car.

Gauer has driven for the district since November 2005. Other agencies responding to the accident include the Apple Valley Fire Department, the Rosemount Police Department, Allina Ambulance and the Minnesota State Patrol. The investigation is ongoing, police said. E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron.vehling@ecminc.com.

Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland said she hopes the new center will increase tourism in the area. “I think it’s an incredible investment in these difficult times — it’s a wonderful asset,� she said. “It feels like that bright shining star that gives us hope.� While the hotel and banquet hall are expected to boost the local economy, they also will bring in additional revenue to the city. The hotel has added $4.4 million to the property tax base, while the banquet hall has contributed $190,000 in permits.

To differentiate itself from other banquet halls in the area, the Grandstay will offer four preferred caterers, rather than limiting guests to one option, he said. Although the conference center will not be completed until mid-October, the Grandstay is already accepting reservations, Johnson said. A grand-opening celebration will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 at the LaGrand Conference Center.

A new conference center and banquet hall called the LaGrand is under construction at the Grandstay Hotel in Apple Valley. A grand opening is planned for Oct. 19.

Debate/from 1A

in about 25 years become a sustainable community, with the possibility of doubling the city’s population. Droste said Rosemount was one of the first cities in the state to have, located within its business park area, a commercial site with utilities and designated by the state as shovel-ready. Hansen repeatedly called for scrutiny of the city budget and spending cuts. “The whole budget needs to be really looked at closely to find out where can we do better ‌ and save money,â€? Hansen said. “We need to find ways to cut expenses and lower the taxes.â€? He noted that Waterford Commons, the controversial downtown commercial and residential building built as part of the city’s downtown redevelopment plan, cost about the same amount of money to build as his building cost, but has much less space. Hansen suggested hiring college students for parks

projects in the summer, and having businesses water planters lining the downtown sidewalks instead of city workers. Droste said there has been a lot of progress in improving the budget and processes since he became mayor in 2002. The city has contracted out its snow plowing services for the Community Center and Steeple Center, and also contracts engineering services instead of adding staff and paying more benefits. In an apparent cautionary tale of budget-cutting, Droste said some city roads were in terrible shape because shortcuts had been taken years earlier. “Over the last seven to eight years, we’ve spent an enormous amount of money because we took shortcuts and didn’t invest in a lot of areas that we should have. Today, we have systems that hopefully ‌ won’t cost us more down

the road,� Droste said. Both candidates cited concerns about the economy and indicated the need to attract business and growth. Droste said residents appreciate safe, quality neighborhoods with good connectivity and trails. “The retail components will follow once you have that growth, We are probably sitting in the greatest position with UMore Park. If you can build creative housing, sustainable, possibly around energy. People will move here, and we’ll have great opportunities here before us,� Droste said. Hansen said he’d like to bring new ideas to the city, and show how things can be done better than in the past. “I believe Rosemount is a great place to live. We need to bring more businesses to town and welcome them,� he said.

come to Rosemount. As owner of some downtown commercial space, Hansen said he’s seen new business owners leave after becoming frustrated with the city’s slow, expensive permitting processes. “It takes way too long. We are losing more businesses here than we are gaining,� he said. “We sit with a lot of empty space. It’s not a pretty sight.� Droste agreed with Hansen’s call for streamlining the process for business owners interested in locating in Rosemount, but added that office space and retail will fill in as the city concentrates on developing a strong local job base. Part of that effort, he said, involves working with the University of Minnesota on the UMore property development plans. The university is planning development of a gravel mining operation that will

“It puts us at a disadvantage,� he said. “Places like Austin (Texas) have a very well-developed agency.� But how can Rosemount with a population of about 22,000 benefit from being just one part of such a large group of cities? “Although we’re not the largest suburb by any means,� Johnson said, “we have a lot of undeveloped land. In terms of growth, we’ll be the next area to develop significantly over the next 10 to 15 years.� Another perk Rosemount can bring to the table is UMore, Johnson said. “It’s a unique site,� he said of the large tract of land owned by the University of Minnesota. “It may be pretty important to the whole metro area. We think we have a fairly important stake in what the new entity can accomplish.�

National competition

The partnership seeks to raise $2.8 million to get the entity started, with 20 to 30 percent of that coming from the public sector and an eye on a $4 million operating budget once the entity is in full force, according to Schmidlkofer’s presentation. This will provide the non-profit with full-time marketing and support staff. The regional entity has two major project goals: to raise the region’s overall economic competitiveness and quality of life and to reduce and eliminate socioeconomic disparities, according to the presentation. Regarding the latter, the presentation asserts that “addressing the opportunity gap is critical to both long-term prosperity and short-term recovery.� The regions Schmidlkofer cites in her presentation as offering the “best practice� for how to market a metro

area include the aforementioned Austin and Kansas City, among others. She pointed out in her presentation that national site selectors often remark that the Twin Cities do not do enough outreach. “I get piles of marketing materials ever week,� one selector said, “and I get nothing on the Twin Cities.�

Riding the fence Thisweek also spoke with officials from Apple Valley, Eagan, Lakeville and Farmington - all cities in its coverage area that are not certain about committing membership dues to Itasca’s regional entity just yet. For the lot, it was mostly a matter of timing. Cities have already set their preliminary levies, and in Eagan’s case, set up budgets months ago. “We’re not foreclosing the option,� said Eagan community development director Jon Hohenstein, “but at the present time it is not in the preliminary budget.� Hohenstein said the city could dip into reserve funds for the membership dues, if necessary, or it could just wait until next year. That is all up to the city council, though. That said, Hohenstein agreed that Eagan could stand to benefit immensely from a national marketing effort. “Eagan is well-positioned in the area with its proximity to the airport and freeways,� he said. “So things that draw attention to or build interest in the region can only benefit us as well.� Tom Lawell, city administrator of Apple Valley, said his city has made no final decision on financial contributions to the Itasca Project, but could by October or November. However, he is intrigued. “I like the strong support for the private sector,� he

said. Dave Olson, community and economic development director for Lakeville, anticipates the economic development commission will discuss the issue this week. He said the $25,000 membership dues Lakeville would need to pay are not part of the city’s proposed 2011 budget, but as is true with his counterparts, he sees Lakeville coming out ahead in regard to a regional development entity. “There is a school of thought that says what’s good for the region can have ancillary benefits to our community,� Olson said. “The difficult question is ‘what is the city’s return on investment in this?’ It’s hard to quantify sometimes.� Farmington City Administrator Peter Herlofsky said the timing of the funding request is such that coming up with the money this year could be a problem. “All of us are struggling with final numbers,� Herlofsky said. It would be better to learn about this a month or two ahead of time, he added. But he does like the idea. “Dakota County has 11 cities that one way or another have different departments that try to assist in economic development,� Herlofsky said, “but bigger is more effective on a national level.� Anything that benefits the metro region as a whole could benefit Farmington, Herlofsky said, including a regional development entity. “To say anything bad against it is almost unAmerican,� he said. Farmington will likely revisit the membership dues next year. Representatives of several area major corporations comprise the Itasca Project, including General Mills, Carlson Companies, Wells Fargo, US Bancorp, Target, United Health and

Mortenson Construction. According to the group, the Itasca Project name is an allusion to a perceived golden age of civic engagement on the part of Twin Cities business leaders. For some years beginning in the 1960s, a group of business leaders assembled at Itasca State Park to discuss issues of regional importance.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Minnesota poverty has become a campaign issue for the gubernatorial candidates by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The number of families and children living in poverty has become an issue for the political campaigns and a major problem for next year’s Minnesota Legislature. One in 14 families in Minnesota is poor and 17.4 percent of children under 18 live in poor families (a family of four making $22,000 a year.) This, however, is less than the national average. More people are becoming poor with Minnesota’s rate increasing from 6.7 to 11.1 percent during the past three years. Since the low point of families in poverty in the year 2000, the number has gone up from 5.7 percent to 11.3 percent. Even more glaring, the number of households headed by a

female with no husband present and with children in poverty involves 446,000 people. Those who would not increase taxes and only cut spending to solve the state’s budget woes either don’t care about the poor, or they don’t know the damage being done to state programs aimed at helping the less fortunate. It is important, therefore, to consider some facts while examining the intentions of the candidates for governor. The damage to people’s lives is showing up as funding for programs is reduced. As evidence, there is a study by the Minnesota Budget Project focusing on the 2003 Legislature that passed a

budget for the 2004-05 biennium which included $2.1 billion in service cuts. This was some of the damage that resulted from those cuts, according to the study.

their WIC vouchers.

• 13,554 Minnesotans including parents, children, pregnant women and adults without children were expected to lose their health care in 2004 and 26,640 were expected to lose that care in 2005.

• An estimated 1,200 Minnesota families lost their child care assistance because of an increase in funding for the basic sliding fee program — an additional cost of $936 a year for a family of four earning $32,000. There is a huge cry about the costs of welfare. According to the Children’s Defense Fund, welfare costs account for one percent of the state’s budget of $32 billion or $320 million. The three candidates for governor all say they will protect the vulnerable poor, but only two of

the three candidates, Democrat Mark Dayton and Independent Tom Horner, are willing to raise taxes to do it. Republican Tom Emmer claims his budget will provide more money than presently authorized, $9.75 billion, but less than the projected costs of $12 billion. While absorbing tax increases to aid the less fortunate during this severe recession isn’t popular, it is the price of citizenship, as the late governor Elmer L. Andersen once reminded us.

Letters Reconsider teacher pay To the editor: In his recent column, “Nice national poll and multi-million dollar Minnesota loss,” Joe Nathan rightly points to the need to rethink the way we hire and pay teachers. Nathan points to a national survey that finds nearly three-fourths of the American people believe a teachers pay should be “somewhat closely tied” or “very closely tied” to student achievement. Given the fact that researchers still need to work out some kinks in determining the effects of a given teacher on student achievement, it’s not fair to tie a teacher’s entire salary on achievement. But neither is it fair to students or parents to pay teachers simply by time on the job. Q-Comp, Minnesota’s experiment in breaking away from the time-on-the-job model of paying teachers, needs to be more fully embraced and expanded within the state. Another helpful development, seen in other states but not in Minnesota, is the development of alternative methods of certifying new teachers. Schools need a larger pool of people to hire from than simply those who go through traditional schools of education. Groups such as Teach for America have shown that alternative methods can work. In today’s global economy, Minnesota needs to be open to its methods of recruiting and paying teachers. JOHN LAPLANTE Eagan

Teaching Chinese To the editor: I seldom agree with the decisions made by School District 196. However, the recent article on adding two teachers to instruct the young on the Chinese language is the smartest thing they ever did. Our education system should be concentrated on this language and the Arabic nations while parents should concentrate on preserving their own ethnic backgrounds with their children. God knows we’re going to need it. RICHARD DANIELS Rosemount

Hooppaw and Bergman best for council To the editor: In 1979 I moved from Ohio to Apple Valley. My family often says this was one of the best decisions we ever made. The quality of life in Apple Valley and the excellent schools have been a strong selling point to my many real estate clients. Over the years, in dealing with the mayor and city council, I have come to understand and appreciate the importance of good leadership at these positions. It is extremely important that we elect the best qualified candidates for City Council in November. I suggest that my friends in Apple Valley support present council member John Bergman, and candidate for City Council, Clint Hooppaw. John Bergman has been a City Council member for the past eight years. Prior to that, he served four years on the Planning Commission. This is invaluable experience which the city cannot afford to lose. He is chair of the ALF Ambulance Board of Directors and has served on the Economic Development Authority for the past eight years. Bergman’s desire is to maintain city services keeping in mind the need to help keep taxes as low as possible. Bergman is devoted to making this a better city. My experience with Bergman has shown him approachable, willing to listen and ready to offer advice to assist in your needs. He represents the city with respect and pride. This is a great achievement. I am pleased that a long time friend of mine and of this community, Clint Hooppaw, has come forward to run for City Council. Hooppaw is presently a vice-president with Anchor Bank in Apple Valley, and for 11 years prior to that was involved in banking and financial services management. He is very familiar with the real estate industry, which, in today’s world, is very important. He has been a member of the Rotary Club of Apple Valley since 1999. He served as it’s 2006-2007 president. Clint has been a principle in

fundraising events sponsored by the club. This has involved hundreds of hours and is an indication of his willingness to devote the time necessary as a member of the City Council. His financial background and business experience will serve well to help maintain Apple Valley as a place where people want to live and raise families. BILL TSCHOHL Apple Valley

Supports Mitch Scott for Dakota County sheriff To the editor: First, even though I have the same last name, I am no relation to Mitch Scott. I have had the pleasure of recently meeting Scott and learning more about his background. I learned that unlike his competitor, Scott has worked in a jail as a deputy in a large metro county in the Twin Cities. For metro sheriff’s offices, jails are one of their greatest assets and also greatest liabilities to us as citizens. I know I would feel more comfortable having someone with real working knowledge overseeing such a large liability for our county. I also know that many of the Sheriff’s Office employees would welcome Scott’s openminded, trusting leadership style as a breath of fresh air. By reading recent articles in this newspaper about the current Dakota County Sheriff we can see there is a need for a change. Join me in supporting and voting for Mitch Scott for Dakota County Sheriff. DEB SCOTT Eagan

Kurt Bills offers extremism To the editor: I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. The last thing Minnesota needs right now is someone who just blows hot air and will keep us stuck in gridlock because of their rigid ideologies. We don’t need that kind of extremism in the state Legis-

lature, but I’m worried that’s exactly what Kurt Bills promises to bring. One example is the fact that Bills is endorsed by the ultra-extremist Republican Liberty Caucus. This isn’t your mom and dad’s brand of Republicanism. This is a group that wants to “privatize all government assets.” In other words, they want to get rid of Medicaid, Social Security, and health care for the disabled. They also want to completely eliminate the De-

partment of Education and the Department Commerce and Agriculture. That kind of radical agenda would be devastating to our students, seniors, farmers and more. Bills’ positions mirror the most extreme voices in our district. In fact, Judy Lindsay, the former House candidate that voters judged to be far too radical two years ago, has already said “a vote for Kurt Bills is a vote for Judy Lindsay.”

We don’t need Kurt Bills’ extreme brand of politics because it won’t lead to better schools, more jobs, or real progress for Rosemount or Apple Valley. I’ll be voting for Phil Sterner, an independent thinker who’s shown he’s willing to work with Democrats and Republicans to get things done. SADIQ ABDIRAHMAN Apple Valley

College-level courses are a big boost for high school students by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley, Rosemount and Eagan high schools are part of an encouraging statewide trend in Minnesota public schools. A growing number of Minnesota high school students are taking and passing college level courses. In many cases, doing well in these courses allows these students to earn college credit, bypass taking beginning college courses, or both. They also are better prepared for higher education. These can include Advanced Placement (AP), College in the Schools (CIS), International Baccalaureate (IB), Concurrent Enrollment, and Post-Secondary Options. Figures compiled by one district show that by taking college level courses this year, students are saving more than $225,000. Here’s part of what’s happening in ISD 196. John Wollersheim, Rosemount High School principal, reports that: • The number of their students taking either AP or CIS is up more than 30 percent compared to four years ago. • 172 more students took Advanced Placement Exams last year, and 157 more students passing these exams, compared to four years ago. • A total of 98-99 percent of students taking College in the Schools pass them. Steve Degenaar, principal at Apple Valley, sent information showing that: • Enrollment in Advanced Placement courses at Apple Valley has increased from 31.5 percent of the students in 2005-06 to 40.2 percent of the students in 2009-10 • “The past three years, we have had our three highest passing rates.” Paulette Reikowski, Eagan High School principal wrote that: • Eagan offers eight College in the Schools and 12 Advanced Placement courses. • Almost 750 of their students took Advanced Placement exams in various subjects last year. That’s an increase from 534 in 2006-07.

• The number of students taking College in the Schools courses has increased from 125 to 303, 2006-07 to 2009-10. • Newsweek lists Eagan, Eastview and Apple Valley as among the top American high schools in part because of the number of students taking AP courses. North Branch High School counselor Dan Ralston looked at the cost of college tuition that students in their “College in the Schools or “Concurrent Enrollment” do not have to pay because they are high school students. He calculated that North Branch area students are saving “more than $225,000” by earning Anoka Ramsey Community College, University of Minnesota, Southwest State and Pine Tech credits while still in high school. Statewide, the Minnesota Department of Education reported that the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses last year increased by more than 9,000 students. MDE also has helped encourage more participation in these courses. Sometimes, when more students participate in something like this, averages decline. That’s the opposite of what’s happened. MDE reports that there has been an 8 percent increase in the number of students scoring a 3 or higher (on a 1-5 scale). Achieving 3, 4 or 5 means students will earn college credit Minnesota State College and University system institutions, and many other colleges/universities around the country. These high schools deserve a lot of credit for the higher education credit that they are helping youngsters earn. Congratulations to students who are saving hundreds, even thousands of dollars for their families and themselves. And, thanks to the high schools and colleges, whose collaboration puts students first.

Dakota County District 196 property tax levy could decrease for next school year Estimates do not include the possibility of referendum passing this November by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A drop in property value is not typically a cause for celebration, but residents in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district are poised to receive one ancillary benefit from it: a lower property tax levy. The district presented its proposed $78 million 2010 levy Monday night (Sept. 27). This is nearly $1 million less than the 2009 certified levy. The 2010 levy provides about a quarter of the funding for the 2011-12 school year, said Stella Johnson, a financial analyst with the district.

State aid and credits comprise the bulk of funding (about 63 percent). Federal aid makes up only about 3 percent. Various sources such as private donations make up the rest, Johnson said.

Value goes down A phenomenon called “Referendum Market Value (RMV)� influences the amount the state will allow the school district to levy. The RMV decreased from $15.6 billion in 2009 to $14.6 billion this year, Johnson said. On top of that, the Adjusted Net Tax Capacity (ANTC) also acts as an influence. The

ANTC decreased 6.5 percent from 2009 to $174.5 million. Because of these factors, the state limits District 196 to the $78 million the district is proposing for 2011-12. That is a maximum. When it comes time to certify the levy, the district can, in theory, levy less. The upside to the drop in property value is that “we get more of our tax dollars back home,� said school board member Kevin Sampers. This is because as property value decreases, the state kicks in additional aid as an equalizer among the state’s school districts. In the case of District 196, this means an additional

$489,000, according to a district financial report. Johnson said there are two reasons for the district to request the maximum in the proposed levy: (1) it allows for adjustments from the state to be sent directly to the county; and (2) final certification in December cannot be more than the proposed levy (thus there is more room to breathe). The preliminary property tax levy does not include any consideration for the $15.5 million operating levy referendum, Johnson said, which voters will decide on Nov. 2. Should voters pass it, the numbers for the December

certification of the levy will be different. The numbers suggesting a drop in RMV and ANTC are still relevant, however. This decrease could mean the cost per household for a potential levy could be lower than the $280 a year originally estimated, Johnson said.

trict financial report. This is because of layoffs associated with $15 million in budget adjustments for the current school year. The proposed levy is to be submitted to Dakota County by Oct. 1. On Dec. 13, the school board will certify the final levy at a meeting with a review of the proposed property tax and budget. Should the operating levy not pass in November, the district faces more than $20 million in budget cuts and adjustments for 2011-12.

A majority of the funds that are part of the levy are proposed to decrease, but there is a notable exception: the re-employment insurance levy, which has gone up $237,000 (or 139 percent) to E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. $407,000, according to a dis- vehling@ecm-inc.com.

City Council candidates debate issues at forum District 196 sets education goals for 2010-11 by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount residents looking for distinct differences among City Council candidates would have been disappointed at the Sept. 27 candidate forum held at City Hall. Incumbents Mark DeBettignies and Kim ShoeCorrigan were joined by candidate Joe Kurle; council candidate Tim Judy was ill and unable to attend. Although questions posed were challenging, none of the answers revealed strong areas of contention to help voters distinguish their November choices. Shoe-Corrigan noted the council’s accomplishments, stating the board has focused on a tight budget and made a concentrated effort to reduce and avoid more debt. She said bringing in business and growing jobs are the issues most discussed by the council, and added the city is always looking for ways to work with other entities to reduce costs, such as seeking grants to help boost funds without raising taxes. DeBettignies said the city has the potential to grow further, and in the future it

will be important for the residents to have access to local bus routes to be a part of the interconnectivity plans that are under way around the county. He also mentioned the council’s continual review of spending and budget reductions, as well as the effort to pay off bond debt. “As a city, we participate in joint powers,â€? he said. “We have other cities we will cooperatively purchase salt or whatever is needed ‌ and take advantage of some savings.â€? Kurle emphasized his integrity, stating that it is an important trait in public office. In addition, he noted it’s important for the city to get value back for the dollars it spends. Kurle suggested the city seek multiple bids for services provided by long-time contractors, just to keep prices and city costs competitive. None of the City Council candidates balked at the possibility of outsourcing services to the private sector, and Shoe-Corrigan said the council regularly asks staff to consider other options to reduce costs and seek out-

side contractors to obtain better prices. Kurle said the city should regularly review its options. “It’s important to have private sector businesses when needed,� he said. “It’s also going to help the business out and you’re helping with job growth.� DeBettignies emphasized that commercial development is a market-driven issue. “I agree that if we can get the job base, if we can stimulate commercial and industrial, then certainly Rosemount has an advantage if we can create a tax base and jobs,� he said. Despite all the talk of keeping taxes low and budgets lean, council candidates also said there’s a need to maintain good schools, parks and infrastructure, as well as preserve the smalltown feel. “We need to create an environment where people want to come to town to do business, but we also need to create a community where want to live,� Shoe-Corrigan said. Candidates are competing for two City Council seats in the November election. The forum was sponsored by the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Improved test scores, curriculum reviews and maintaining budget targets without sacrificing education quality are among the academic and institutional goals presented by Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan Superintendent Jane Berenz for the 2010-11 school year. The district is also looking at entering the Facebook realm, Berenz said. But do not expect to see District 196 jump into the online networking site without some deliberation. Berenz said the district will “assess the pitfalls� of opening up this potential can of social media worms before any action is taken.

Breaking it down

When it comes to test scores, the district seeks to improve student proficiency on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs), which the federal government uses to measure a school district’s annual yearly progress (AYP) as part of the No Child Left Behind Act. Districts (or individual schools within those districts) failing to make AYP targets can face restructuring or being forced to allow students to transfer to better performing schools. District 196 did not make AYP this year on the MCAs as a whole. Some individual schools also Laura Adelmann is at dcedi- fell short. tor@frontiernet.net. An additional goal is to

continue to develop the magnet K-12 strand in the middle and high schools for Mandarin Chinese and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Mandarin is already a component of the elementary and middle school experience for many magnet students and a related high school program is in the works. The issue of school safety will also be addressed through continuing to review and practice emergency response plans. According to district officials, there is no increase in concern for students’ safety: the goal is to maintain and build upon what has already been achieved. The district is also looking to update its five-year finan-

cial plan, Berenz said. This will involve heavy input from the Budget Advisory Council, which primarily consists of district residents. As an off-shoot, the district intends to develop a process that will improve community and staff engagement in the budget adjustment process, Berenz said. The state’s ongoing fiscal crisis, which includes assumed cuts in K-12 funding, could pose a threat to the district’s ultimate goal: to maintain financial health without compromising the district’s mission or beliefs. “This is becoming more difficult,� Berenz said.

County collected barrels of prescriptions Rosemount college looks to reopen food counter in county building

by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dakota County residents turned in 100 pounds of old medications – filling six 55-gallon barrels – in the county’s first prescription drug take-back event Sept. 25. Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows, who declared the event a success, said that the county is considering providing citizens a continual option of dropping off old prescriptions at various fixed locations in the future. “It may be six or eight months, I don’t want to say for sure because I don’t know yet. But I clearly think Dakota County is moving forward with having an ongoing drug take-back program,� Bellow said. The Sunday event was held at three locations: Burnsville City Hall, the Dakota County Government Center in Hastings and the Northern Service Center in West St. Paul. Most of the drugs were collected in West St. Paul where nearly 300 car visits were recorded; in Hastings, the department counted 60 vehicle visits, and in Burnsville, about 250 cars were driven through the drug drop-off site. Bellows said he was pleased with the level of participation, and added that the

Hundreds of residents visited drive-through collection sites to turn in their old medications for safe destruction. department has received calls from people still interested in disposing of their prescriptions and expired medications. Among the drugs collected were Oxycodone, Adderall and Fentanyl. Prescription drug abuse has also been linked to the increasing number of people using heroin. Bellows explained the type of high that comes from prescription drugs like Oxycodone is similar to the effect of heroin on the user. The number of heroinrelated arrests are on the rise

in Dakota County. In 2008, the county made 14 arrests related to heroin, and there were 42 such arrests made in 2009. Additionally, Bellows said there are increasing cases of Hepititis C in the county, a condition that is connected to needle use. Bellows said people ages 17 to early 20s are experimenting with these types of drugs, and warned parents that if they keep old drugs around the house, they may be inadvertently acting as their child’s drug dealer. “We want to get these

types of drugs out of households, out of the reach of teenagers and young people,� Bellow said. All prescriptions and overthe-counter medications that were collected during the event will be incinerated at a properly-licensed and managed facility. Bellows said the old methods of throwing pills in the garbage or flushing them in the toilet have been proven to be environmentally hazardous. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

space,â€? said Taud Hoopingarner, Operations Management director. County Commissioner Kathleen Gaylord said the food service would be a benefit to people serving jury duty, who now only have vending machine food available to them in the building. “It’s horrible. As a practicing attorney, I used to come in and I really appreciated having that cafeteria available. Now all you get is vending machines, and it’s not nearly what it used to be,â€? said Commissioner Tom Egan. Hoopingarner said old equipment has been discarded and the area has received state approval for a kitchen to reopen. “It’s kind of a win-win situation,â€? Hoopingarner said. “They get to try and opportunity with respect to their students. It doesn’t cost us anything to put this in place initially, except for some replacement of carpeting and minor sprucing up. And, we have an opportunity to provide a service to our employees, the courts ‌ and jurors.â€?

In November, Dakota County Technical College is planning to reopen the cafeteria at the Dakota County Judicial Center in Hastings, which has been closed for about a decade. The Rosemount college would partner with Hastings High School to allow students there to work with a local chef from the college during the school year. On Sept. 28, school representatives were at the county’s administrative center to evaluate the dining setup. It has already been determined that the 1970s-era orange shag carpet will be replaced, said County Administrator Brandt Richardson. The restaurant is anticipated to be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, depending on whether the program can be self-supporting. The type of meals served and its operating hours may vary as they test response to the service. “We will reevaluate this after six months to see if it’s working for them and us. If it is, great.

Eastview’s Taylor Sharp, No. 12, and Kara Cousins, No. 13, go for the block against Alexandria at the Apple Valley Invitational on Sept. 24. Eastview finished third, beating Alexandria, Blaine and Marshall. The team lost to Lakeville North 2-1 in the semifinals.

Many of the best volleyball teams in Minnesota converged on Apple Valley last weekend for a tournament many say is second only to the state tournament. Every team there has a healthy list of state tournament appearances. The South Suburban Conference had representation from Lakeville North, Eastview, Apple Valley and Eagan. Lakeville North suffered its first loss of the year, coming in second. Eastview played some

of its best volleyball of the year, finishing third. Apple Valley maintained its place as a top 10 team in Class 3A, coming in seventh, and Eagan left its mark as well, coming in 12th out of 16 teams. Many teams view the tournament as a chance to see how they match up with the state’s best programs. And it serves as a chance to break the mid-season lull. Eastview came into the tournament with a 6-6 record and left feeling like a contender. “The entire weekend boosted the confidence of the individual players and

team,” coach Becky Egan said. Even though they lost 2-1 in the semifinals to the No. 1 team in the state at the time (Lakeville North), the Lightning felt like they could hang with the Panthers. “At times against Lakeville North the girls successfully made adjustments and pushed hard against them at key times,” Egan said. It was one of the three times this season a team got to 25 first against Lakeville North. “Each day we are constantly discussing the imSee Volleyball, 15A

It’s not easy winning in South Suburban Conference Penalties nearly doom Eagan in win over Apple Valley by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It wasn’t always pretty, but Eagan will take it. The Wildcats won their second game of the season on Sept. 24 by a score of 2625 against Apple Valley. “We made a lot of mistakes, but we did enough to win and it feels great,” Eagan linebacker Matt Keller said. Apple Valley led 24-17 with less than two minutes remaining, but Eagan quarterback Jameson Parsons, who threw for 176 yards and ran for 81 yards in the game, willed Eagan down the field. Bob Rada capped off the drive with an 8-yard touchdown run to put Eagan up 26-24 with 30 seconds left.

“I just told the guys to keep working” Parsons said. “I knew it would be tough.” The celebration was short-lived. Two 15-yard face-mask penalties by Eagan put Apple Valley in good position to win the game. Kicker Tom Obarski, who was making 50-yard field goals in warm-ups, missed on a 29-yard attempt that looked good to almost everyone but the referee. Eagan coach Rick Sutton told his players that there are no easy wins on their schedule. “We made way too many mistakes,” Sutton said. “But it feels good to finally get a win. Our guys continue to play with confidence. They have a ton of heart.” Eagan was coming off a

tough loss to Eastview the week prior. “Every win means a lot to this program,” Parsons said. “We just have to stay focused.” The defense has come around in recent weeks as well. Keller, who leads the team with 60 tackles and two sacks, has been a big boost to the defense this year. “He’s a playmaker,” Sutton said. “He’s been amazing.” Keller gave the players around him credit for his recent performance. “I’ve got two great tackles in front of me and they take up all the blockers so I can get around,” he said. The loss dropped the Eagles’ record to 0-4. Apple

Eagan’s Bob Rada, No. 8, jumps over Apple Valley’s Patrick O’Neil, No. 9, to score a touchdown on Sept. 24. Eagan won the game 26-25. Valley was within a touchdown in every loss this season. Apple Valley’s Kent Egan was 8-for-15 with 88 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Antonio Seals led the team with 17 rushes for 80 yards. Dom McDewStauffer had 14 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown. The frustrated Apple

Valley team will look for its first win on Oct. 1 with a home game against rival Eastview.

Irish soccer Eagles fare well at own invite Eastview boys finish second out of 21 teams finding an identity With a stable coaching staff and an infusion of talent, Rosemount is on the rise by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For years, the Rosemount girls soccer team struggled to match up with the powerhouse programs of neighboring schools. The Irish got by with single-digit victories year by year in the shadow of programs such as Eagan, Burnsville and Eastview. “When I took over three seasons ago, there was no real consistency or identity to the program,” head coach Kevin Adams said. The head coach seemed to change every few years, and the philosophies and systems would change with it. The team won four games in 2007, six games in 2008 and improved to 127-1 in 2009. This year the Irish are on pace to exceed 12 wins. The Irish use neighboring programs like Eastview, Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eagan as a measuring stick and this year they’ve matched up. The Irish’s biggest win so far was a 1-0 victory over Burnsville, but they are equally proud of the 2-2 tie with Eagan and 3-3 tie with Apple Valley. The Irish had lost to all three in each of the last three seasons. The key to becoming competitive has been the offseason training starting from the bottom up. “I knew that a good program would take more than just coaching a varsity team,” Adams said. Adams said it took three years to get this point. “The kids are now doing more in the offseason to develop their skills, which is creating more talent at the

high school level,” Adams said. “These kids are now more confident and believe they can compete with anyone.” Adams feels the team can compete in Section 3AA this year with a goal of playing in the finals, “but we will have to play far more consistently for that to happen,” Adams said. Attacker Shade Pratt and midfielder Hannah Halterman have put the pressure on opposing goalies all season, while their own goalie Kate Mallory has kept their goal clear. The team’s biggest game left on the regular season schedule is against Eastview on Oct. 7.

Cross country At the multi-state Roy Griak Invitational last weekend at the University of Minnesota, the Irish boys cross country team finished in sixth place. Rosemount finished behind the top teams from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas, but ahead of the top teams from South Dakota, North Dakota and a handful of top-ranked teams from Iowa out of 55 teams in the Gold Division. Shane McCallum matched Rosemount’s best individual time on the course of 16 minutes, 22 seconds, coming in 14th overall. Nathan Rock was 38th, Calvin Lehn 58th and Chandler Dye 76th. “On a personal note, I was proud to see our guys compete well in front of my college coach and the namesake of the meet, Roy Griak,” Rosemount head coach Chris Harder said. “(Griak) See Soccer, 15A

As a team the Eagles finished fifth out of 21 teams and Paul Frekot and Brandel both finished in the top 30. The Lightning finished in second place; Erik Rosvold was ninth, Ken Hoffman 12th and David Salter 18th. Eastview’s coach Tom Sharp said, “We were happy with how the teams ran (and) we continue to run better as a team.” Right: Apple Valley’s Alexa Nelson was the team’s top finisher, finishing 28th. Hannah Seger (35th), Natalie Webb (47th) and Rouaa Abasher (60th) are all relatively new to cross country. “I was pleased and optimistic about the growth the team demonstrated,” coach Raedi Zimmer said. The team’s No. 2 runner, Kaitlin Hattouni, was unable to finish the race due to illness.

Football/from 14A The game remained close until the fourth quarter when the Irish broke away by forcing turnovers and rushing right through the Panthers. Andrew Hausmann was the star of the game, rushing 38 times for 228 yards and two touchdowns. His longest run was 73 yards. He also had a kick return for 60 yards and a punt return for 48. Interceptions by David Morgan and Jacob Mortenson were key plays in the win. Lakeville North was the only other team undefeated in the conference prior to the game, but the Irish will face another threat to winning the South Suburban Conference on Oct. 1 when Lakeville South comes to town. While the Cougars have one loss, it was against Wayzata in a nonconference game. Lakeville South has defeated Eagan, Apple Valley and Bloomington Jefferson.
