Group hopes to keep rail proposal on track If plans move forward, passenger train would pass through Rosemount by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Decades from now, passenger trains may once again whiz through Rosemount – that is if a new proposal gains speed. A coalition consisting of officials from Olmsted County, the city of Rochester, the Rochester Chamber of Commerce and the Mayo Clinic rolled out a 10-year plan in January to build high-speed passenger rail that would connect Rochester to the Twin Cities, the two largest economic centers in the state. “With the amount of traffic between the two, it’s a great plan for the future,� said Ken Brown, an Ol-

msted County commissioner and member of the coalition. If the project, called a “zip rail line,� moves forward, trains traveling between 150 and 220 mph would run between highways 52 and 56 in Dakota County. The rail line would likely include a stop in the south metro before heading to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, and downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, Brown said. The preliminary cost is estimated to be $973 million. The proposal, which is in its early stages of planning, will need both state and federal funds before construction can begin. Federal grants are available for

such projects as President Barack Obama dedicated $8 million in stimulus funds to high-speed rail. However, state leaders have been less supportive of such projects as they face a $6.2 billion deficit. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has been studying various routes, including a potential rail line between the Twin Cities and Milwaukee and another between the Twin Cities and Chicago. The Milwaukee project fell dead when Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walk rejected federal funding for it, and the Chicago line never gained support. However, Brown said he is confident that passenger rail proposals

Behind the scenes

will pick up speed as the economy rebounds and gas prices rise. “I think this will look a lot more attractive when we are spending $6 a gallon on gas,� he said. In addition to legislative support, the project will need the green light from city and county officials. Rosemount city officials currently have no position on the proposal since it is still in its infancy, said Jason Lindahl, Rosemount city planner. In any project like this, the city’s main concerns would be about noise, whether there would be a stop in Rosemount and potential changes to land use, Lindahl said. The Dakota County Regional

Chamber of Commerce has also remained neutral, but Ruthe Batulis, chamber president, said she believes local businesses may benefit from a rail line. “There are already so many economic connections between the Twin Cities and Rochester that will grow if this moves forward,� Batulis said. If a stop is made in Rosemount, it could boost the local economy substantially, she said. “Rosemount could become a hub and an economic force,� she said.

Officials cautiously optimistic about Dayton’s budget proposal Local school leaders expect Legislature will push for cuts by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton’s recent proposal to keep education funding flat provided some glimmer of hope for struggling school districts this week, yet district officials remain cautious. “I’m glad Dayton agreed to hold education harmless ... but I understand (the governor and Legislature) are trying to fill a huge hole,� said Ron Hill, a board member in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District. If general education funding remains flat as Dayton proposed Feb. 15, District 191 would be able to maintain a balanced budget without cuts, Hill said. However, several local district officials said they expect the Republican-controlled Legislature will reject much of Dayton’s proposals and instead call for cuts. “His plan calls for increased taxes, and that will be difficult to get through,� said Art Coulson, a board member in Rosemount Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196. Coulson said he would be disheartened by cuts to education funding. “We need to figure out what the cost of educating students to an excellent state is, and we can’t cut our way to excellence,� he said. District 196 officials are preparing for funding cuts ranging between 2.5 percent and 5 percent. If the state were to cut general education funding by 2.5 percent, District 196 would face $8.5 million in budget adjustments, said Jeff Solomon, the district’s finance director. Another $3.5 million would need to be

District officials could use $5 million in one-time money from the Federal Education Jobs Fund to help balance the district’s budget, Solomon said. District 191 officials declined to say how the district’s budget would be affected by potential funding cuts, saying it’s too early to speculate.

Apple Valley officer punched in head, suffered concussion by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Police say an “obviously intoxicated� brother and sister injured two officers responding to a report of a fight at an Apple Valley apartment complex. Both siblings – Gregory Belsheim, 25, of Cambridge, and Cassandra Belsheim, 24, of Plymouth – were charged with felony assault last week in connection with the Feb. 5 incident at the Kingston Green apartments located at 15600 Galaxie Ave. A criminal complaint gives the following account: Three officers were General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

According to the State Patrol, Lynch was still alive after she lost control of her vehicle, which hit the median, flipped, and ejected her onto the left lane of northbound I-494. But a passing motorist failed to stop in time for traffic that had slowed near the crash and swerved into the left lane, running over Lynch and killing her. Lynch had been traveling southbound on I-494 near Bass Lake Road at the time of the crash. She wasn’t wearing a seat belt, officials said. Cooper’s Bar is located at 4185 South Robert Trail in Eagan.

Opinion Guest Columnist Volunteers’ value in Burnsville is priceless by Mary Sherry BURNSVILLE CITY COUNCIL

There is an item in the Burnsville city budget that citizens should know about. Unfortunately it doesn’t show up in any official documents. If it could show up, it would be BIG. It would be BOLD. Now that the intense focus on city budgeting is over – at least until June – I believe it is time to put a spotlight on that item. The spotlight would reveal that this item shows a net savings in the city budget, year in and year out. The beam would have to be broad because the item affects just about every department in city operations: public safety, parks and natural resources, city

planning, clerical services at City Hall, economic development, recreation and the arts, recycling and hazardous waste collection, interpreter service, property inspections and more. That spotlight would be shining on the city’s volunteers – but you’ve guessed that by now. Even if you are one of them, you might be surprised to know that more than 400 Burnsville citizens volunteer in an “official� capacity, which means they have contacted city staff to offer their time and expertise. But there are many, many other “unofficial� volunteers. If you add those who help with Fire Muster, Art and All That Jazz, the International Festival, and

the Half Marathon, the number swells. Toss in the churches, clubs, and individuals who have adopted parks and streets in town, keeping them litter-free. At this point, surely our volunteers number more than a thousand. Yet we’re not finished. Think of the many community organizations – Lions, Rotary, Burnsville Community Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, service groups from our businesses, youth groups, schools and churches, and many more who give countless hours and raise money for projects to help make life better in Burnsville. Now our count is up to perhaps 1,800. We still aren’t finished counting. After the heavy, wet snowstorm early in the winter that

damaged many of our boulevard trees, there was the happy whine of chainsaws in many neighborhoods as residents cut up tree limbs and branches blocking the roads and driveways and made sure the city plows could get through. Over and over and over again, volunteers shovel out fire hydrants when the snow piles up. In warmer seasons, without being asked, people clear storm sewer grates when it rains, preventing leaves and trash from being washed into our ponds. I know I’m missing groups. I’m missing activities. Yet the take-away is that it is impossible to count all the volunteers in this city. And there is no way to calculate the vast amounts of money volunteers save their neighbor-

citizens in taxes. While there is much hype these days about the “new normal,� I think what I’m describing is the “old normal.� In many ways this attitude of neighbor helping neighbor – whether casual or official – is what charmed me when I moved to Burnsville 36 years ago. Now, with the glinty eye of a City Council member always eager to keep taxes low, I want to put a dollar figure on what our volunteers are worth. I can’t do it. Because our volunteers are priceless. Mary Sherry is a member of the Burnsville City Council. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Education is the key to our children’s future To the editor: Recently U.S. Rep. John Kline publicly indicated he now understands the difficulties stemming from his vote for No Child Left Behind. Beyond this, there remains a lack of action to correct both No Child Left Behind and other federal programs and mandates, which have been so poorly funded that they are a drain on local budgets. Many of these mandates make the learning environment better and stronger for our children. But they must be funded sufficiently. As a country, we must live up to the funding commitments we have made and we must increase local power while we continue

federal oversight. Kline has been in Congress under both a Republican and a Democratic majority with numerous opportunities to work in a bipartisan fashion to solve these problems. Why hasn’t anything been done to fix these problems? One of the greatest burdens our education system faces is funding: the devastating lack of it, and the federal mandates that are insufficiently funded. It seems that our priorities are wrong if we consider our children and their education to be of lowranking importance. One of the purposes of a government should be the education of its youth. Education is where our economy starts and grows. A well-educated society has great strength and resilience. Our economic might comes from our highly edu-

cated citizenry. We all want the best for our children, so why can’t we give them the best start possible? We continue to ask our schools to do more with less. It is time to do more than talk about fixing the problems in our schools. It is time to start making a difference in our children’s lives. It is time to give our schools what they need and our children what they deserve. The future does depend on them, and it is our job to give them the tools and resources that they need to succeed.

More taxation is not the solution

Correction

Thisweek Newspapers

the individual is a necessary element to any legitimate moral code. The law of our land also depicts normal behavior as responsible and prudent. Above all, however, normal behavior in America is moral behavior. The fact is, cutting government spending in times of economic strife is not only the normal, moral, responsible and prudent thing to do, it’s pure common sense. Since it is unreasonable tax rates and big government intrusion that brought us to our current dismal economic condition, the idea of increasing taxation to fix things is ludicrous. That’s like suggesting the best cure for being poisoned is to take more poison. Thomas Paine famously

said, “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.� We, the citizens of the United States of America and the earthly custodians of individual freedom, have been lulled into thinking that there is nothing wrong with crushing rates of taxation. Little by little, we have been cajoled into willingly giving up the precious freedoms for which our sons, fathers and grandfathers fought and died. The tide, however, is turning. Through God’s kind grace, the stupefying fog of indifference that has nearly suffocated our country is finally lifting. JAN DOBSON Lakeville

still viable in the market, more than a decade after creation of a Heart of the City zoning district. Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner said “extreme market conditionsâ€? have intervened in the area’s development. “I think the zoning is right,â€? she said. If changes are sought for individual parcels, they can be considered case by case, Council Member Dan Gustafson said. Four parcels still await development in the most densely designed portion of the Heart of the City, centered around Nicollet Avenue between Burnsville Parkway and Highway 13: • The Knight Seed property on the southeast corner of Pillsbury Avenue and 126th Street, which has approvals for office space and 39 condos. • The remainder of the Nicollet Plaza site on the northeast corner of Nicollet Avenue and 125th Street, which is approved for 132 condos in a mixed-use building. • The remainder of the Uptown Landing site on the west side of Burnsville Parkway and 125th Street, which is approved for two more buildings with 37 condos each. • The remainder of the city-owned AAA site north of the arts center.

The city has heard from developers interested in building apartments or senior housing that the zoning ordinance prohibits, Faulkner said. “That’s not the vision we have for this area,� Kautz said, adding that Burnsville’s stated goal is to increase the stock of owneroccupied housing. Faulkner said the AAA site is still a desirable property that has gotten interest from some developers looking to erect one-story buildings, which aren’t allowed there under Heart of the City zoning. “People want good visibility at a cheap price,� Faulkner said. “Triple A is a great, visible site.� The original Heart of the City development plan called for 715 housing units, 165,000 square feet of office space, 196,000 square feet of retail space, a performing arts center and structured parking, according to a staff report. Not all is dormant in the Heart of the City. Plans call for redevelopment of the TCF Bank site for a CVS Pharmacy and an office/ retail building. The site is on the northeast corner of Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway. A development application is expected this year. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Eagan gymnasts aim to land a spot at state Several individual titles up for grabs in Section 3AA by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

No matter what happens at the Section 3AA gymnastics meet Friday, the season already has been a great success for Eagan. The Wildcats’ scores earned them a No. 1 rank Dec. 27 and they won the first-ever South Suburban Conference title this year. The highlight of the season came Feb. 11 with a 147.525 score against Lakeville North. The dual victory secured the South Suburban Conference title, and the score was a school record. Senior Julia Wolter also scored a season high 38.3 after sitting out with an ankle injury for several weeks. “It was an awesome way to end our regular season,” coach Shelly Eklund said. “The girls are excited and working hard this week heading into the section meet.” Still, they feel like they haven’t put together the perfect meet. “I definitely think we have more potential,” Wolter said. “We’ve had a couple falls on the beam.” Eklund feels they are close. “We’re coming together perfectly at the perfect time of the season,” Eklund said. “The girls are working hard.” Their best score was No. 5 on the list of top tallies in Minnesota this season. It would have earned them second at state last year in Class AA, which is where they would like to go this

year. The trouble is Section 3AA foe Park of Cottage Grove hits 148-plus with some consistency. The Section 3AA meet is Friday evening at Park High School. To win the section, Wolter feels the Wildcats have the physical tools to reach 148-plus. “Honestly, we have a good chance, but we just have to really concentrate this week,” Wolter said. “We’ve been doing a lot of mental preparation. The physical part, we’ve done all we can do.” Even if the team doesn’t reach state, several girls have a chance to qualify individually as the top four in each event advance. Wolter placed ninth last year in all-around. As a senior, she would like to stick one more perfect landing. “Julia is an amazingly talented young gymnast, not to mention young lady,” Eklund said. “She is very determined and very fun to work with.” Wolter is more excited for the possibility to qualify as a team. “Whatever happens, happens,” Wolter said. “I guess I’ll just do my best. I’m more excited for my team.” Katie Palluck is another gymnast with high expectations in the all-around. She scored 37.325 against North. Seniors Dana Holmes, Jena Holmes, Ellie Smith and junior Alyssa Corazzo will try to make the most of what could be their last

meet together. The winner of Section 3AA will move on to the Class AA state final Feb. 25-26 at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion.

Rosemount What was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Rosemount turned out to be one of the best. The Irish went 7-1 in the South Suburban Conference behind only Eagan. They notched 141.5 for a season-high score. That might cut it in another section, but not 3AA. “It’s like the Apple Valley wrestling section,” coach Jason Passeri said. “There are 23 different girls who average above a nine in their events. There are six teams ranked in the top 25. “We’d be happy with a top-three or -four finish.” Rosemount could send a few girls to state in individual events. Seven girls on the roster are capable of breaking nine in some events. Ninth-grader Kailey Askew averages 36 allaround with a solid bars and vault routine. Seventh-grader Abby Nelson has one of the top beam averages in the section, junior Claire Holtz is on the cusp in a couple of events, and senior Katherine Aune has a polished floor routine. With a young team, there’s plenty of potential for future trips to state. “With one senior allarounder and another who does just one event, we’re

Hart closes in on 1,000 points by Andy Rogers

Burnsville boys team finishes five overall

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With an entire season left to play, junior Jess Hart is on track to become Eagan’s all-time leading scorer. As of Wednesday, she was 11 away from 1,000 points. She would be the fifth basketball player and second girls player at Eagan to reach the mark. “By the time she graduates she will be the all-time leading scorer for girls basketball at Eagan,” coach Liz Carpentier said. When Carpentier first saw Hart play when she was in eighth grade, she knew Hart would be an impact player. “She saw the floor well and had a scorer’s mentality, but there were still parts of her game that needed work,” Carpentier said. “She needed to develop her outside shot, get stronger, quicker, and work on her defense.” Determined to be the best, Hart rarely leaves the gym during her free time. “She works extremely hard to get better,” Carpentier said.

Game goes down to the wire Photo by Rick Orndorf

Apple Valley’s A.J. Michaelson, No. 19, fights for the puck on Tuesday night. His team survived a late barrage of shots by Lakeville South to win, 3-2. The teams were tied, 2-2, entering the third period. With less than three minutes remaining, Hudson Fasching scored the winning goal with an assist from Chris Goodman. Sean Lang and Michaelson scored the other two goals.

Apple Valley’s Dane Jensen capped off his senior season with a second-straight silver medal at the state Alpine meet Wednesday at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. He finished behind Dylan Thomas from St. Thomas Academy by a half second after two runs. He was the runner-up at state last year and fourth in 2008. When asked what has made him one of the top high school skiers in the state all these years, his coach Craig Opel said “everything, seriously.” “He’s very gifted,” Opel said. “He’s very well trained and very poised. He’s an intelligent kid. He’s had an incredible stretch here and he’s really humble about it too.” He’s been taking ski racing seriously for eight years. “It’s a lot of repetition,” Jensen said when asked what’s the secret to his success. “That’s the only way to do it.” Jensen has won every race he’s entered this season, except for one. His teammate Nick Lampert from Rosemount finished in 60th place. Rosemount and Apple Valley combine into one team during the school year. Jensen, Lampert, Andrew Ahlberg, and Charlie Frahm won the conference title for Apple Valley-Rosemount. “It’s been nice to see a few of the other guys really step it up this year,” Jensen said. “It’s better to win as a team and share it. It’s a lot more fun.” Andrew Cumming from Eagan finished in 56th place in the boys race.

Blaze boys The Burnsville boys team finished in fifth place at the state Alpine meet with 108 points. Jon Garbe was the team’s fastest skier coming in 36th place with a time of 1 minute, 14.2 seconds. His two combined runs were about seven seconds behind first. Jordan Haus and Jimmy Coyne were a few seconds behind placing 44th and 45th, respectively. Tom Flickinger skied to 49th and Erik Bain to 51st.

Girls Eastview’s Cloe Burke had a solid first round skiing down the hill in 36.93 seconds, which was the sixth-fastest time for any girl, but she was disqualified after her second run. Eagan’s Sally Anderson skied to 26th place with 1:20. Her teammate Gina Serantoni finished in 78th place. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT New factors emerge when retiring in an uncertain economy StatePoint – With the dust finally settling around the nation’s economic crisis, baby boomers are taking stock to see if their retire-

ment plans need revising. There are many ways to adjust to today’s economic uncertainty: from working longer to changing invest-

ment strategies or living situations. The shocking news for many is that some of their safety nets may no longer be

viable. Declining real estate values mean many can’t turn to homes for money. Tumult in financial markets resulted in declines in 401K plans. And some experts say Social Security may not be there when needed most by the baby boom generation. For the second consecutive year, Social Security benefits didn’t rise, something which hasn’t happened in over 75 years. What’s worse is, beginning in 2016, payroll tax revenue will be insufficient to pay full Social Security benefits, according to Allen W. Smith, a retired economics professor and author of the new book, “The Looting of Social Security.� “A pledge in the 1980s to only spend Social Security funds on benefits was broken by every presidential administration since.,� he said. “Money earmarked for seniors was diverted into the government’s general fund and used for whatever politicians chose to spend it on. “Approximately $2.6 trillion of Social Security revenue that was supposed to be saved and invested for pay-

ďż˝

ing benefits to baby boomers, was instead spent for other things and replaced with non-marketable government IOUs,� he said. According to Smith, these IOUs represent only a claim against future government revenue. They have no monetary value, until and unless the government raises the money through future tax increases or borrowing to repay the missing money. Against this backdrop, many are altering retirement plans: • Keep Working: Some seniors are now planning to stay on the job longer. Many who are physically able to work longer are postponing retirement until the future becomes clearer, because they know that once they retire, they may be unable to re-enter the workforce given today’s high unemployment. • New Priorities: Many are shifting investment plans to ensure the money they need within five years

of retirement is safe in lowrisk investments, like fixedincome funds. This can help them endure shortterm market drops while the money they need later grows in more aggressive investments. • Belt Tightening: Many who are approaching retirement age are cutting back on spending and putting more into savings, in case their Social Security benefits get cut. Practicing austerity, and wisely investing the money that is saved, is one of the most viable options for seniors. With Social Security benefits accounting for nearly 40 percent of average income for retirees over 65, Smith is advising seniors to exercise caution in their financial decisions. Purchases that can be delayed probably should be delayed, and for those still in good health, working a little longer than planned could make a big difference in quality of life when they do retire.

For instance, Dayton’s budget plan dedicates $33 million to all-day kindergarten programing and $2 million to early childhood education, two areas Republicans have previously said they will not cut. Both districts 191 and 196 currently offer allday kindergarten for a fee. Scholarships are available to low-income students. However, District 196 has recently been forced to reduce scholarship funds
