Collaboration could benefit south-metro cities

by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

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

Itasca Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional development entity a move toward a united marketing front for the entire metro area at play. 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-

eas whose cities act in closer concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Twin Cities region is not on anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar,â&#x20AC;? said Skip Nienhaus, economic development coordinator for Burnsville. He added that whenever national site selectors do ac-

tually visit the metro area, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they are incredibly impressed. In many cases, we get on their radar because of the visit.â&#x20AC;? Membership dues for cities participating in this unified marketing effort are based on population.

Fire chief who lived the dream retiring after career in Burnsville by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A young Steve Harklerode wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t messing around when he said he wanted to be a firefighter. In his early teens Harklerode joined the junior firefighter program in his hometown of Inver Grove Heights. On Nov. 30 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll retire as Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire chief, capping 26 years of service to the city as a firefighter/paramedic and administrator. Harklerode will soon turn 50, the age at which Minnesota cops and firefighters can begin collecting retirement benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a long, successful career with Burnsville,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just looking forward to closing the chapter on this book and opening another one. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what that new chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be yet.â&#x20AC;? The city is expected to name his replacement by the end of the year. Harklerode came to Burnsville in 1984 after working as an emergency medical technician and paramedic with the old Divine Redeemer Hospital ambulance service. He was one of seven new firefighter/paramedics hired to launch the Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ambulance service. During his career, Burnsville has had its share of dramatic fires, including a turbine explosion at the Black Dog power plant in 1989, the Burnsville High School arson fire of 1994 and the 2008 blaze that destroyed Burncliff Apartments three days before Christmas. On Tuesday, Harklerode worked into the evening at another Black Dog plant explosion and fire, this one coming from a coal hopper. But he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep a top-10 list, despite having earned three Certificates of Meritorious Action and other commendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any single incidence that we go on, it is someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst day, whether it is a medical or a fire call,â&#x20AC;? the chief said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest excitement out of it all is the ability to help people, the ability to take chaos and bring it into order, remove See Harklerode, 5A

Steve Harklerode, Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third fire chief, is retiring after 26 years with the Fire Department.

Burnsville, whose mayor Elizabeth Kautz is part of Itascaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job growth task force, seeks to kick in the required $25,000. Minneapolis, for comparison purposes, has dues in the $150,000 range. Another area city looking to be-

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It puts us at a disadvanSee Itasca, 15A

Eagan woman dies in crash with bus Driver rear-ended a District 196 school bus; no one on the bus was injured by Aaron Vehling

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 available at Scott Highlands for students to talk to regarding the accident, if they need to do so. The district transported Gauer to a local clinic for drug and alcohol testing, which is a district policy, Taschner said. The Apple Valley Police Department did not issue him a citation. 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.

An Eagan woman is dead after her 1999 Ford Contour rearended 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. No injuries were reported on the bus, according to the report. The bus route includes students from St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron.vehling@ written statement.

Man charged in alleged plot to murder county attorney, judge Conspiracy to murder, assault charges brought in Rice County by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A convicted felon has been charged with contracting for the murders of Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom and Judge Rex Stacey and the assault

of a witness who testified against him. John Stephen Woodward, 47, who is formerly of Inver Grove Heights but is now serving almost eight years in a Faribault prison on methamphetamine charges, allegedly tried to pay another inmate $10,000 to murder Backstrom and Stacey, who presided over Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 drug conviction. Woodward, Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

John Stephen James Woodward Backstrom former neighbor, has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit premeditated first-degree murder and one count of

conspiracy to commit firstdegree assault, according to a Rice County complaint filed Sept. 29. Prosecutors allege that Woodward hired Thomas Ray Jackson to murder Backstrom in December, on the day Jackson was scheduled to be released from prison, and had his wife give an attorney $2,500 as a down payment. Initially, Jackson allegedly told the attorney the

money was for a truck, but eventually reported the murder-for-hire scheme after he determined Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions were real. The county says it has videotape evidence of Woodward giving Jackson a map to Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence and details about his normal route to work. The plot allegedly was hatched during jailhouse conversations between Jackson and Woodward, who

described his previous relationship with Backstrom as â&#x20AC;&#x153;best buddies.â&#x20AC;? According to the complaint, Woodward allegedly told Jackson how he could do it, giving him the route, location of the hit and instructions to shoot through Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle window. Jackson turned the information over to investigators. See Plot, 5A

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

$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.

school board member Kevin Sampers. This is because as property value decreases, the state kicks in additional aid as an equalizer among the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 See Levy, 9A

A phenomenon called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Referendum Market Value (RMV)â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;we get more of our tax dollars back home,â&#x20AC;? said

Dakota County

County collected barrels of prescriptions Six 55-gallon drums of old prescriptions filled in drug take-back THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dakota County residents turned in 100 pounds of old medications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; filling six 55-gallon barrels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may be six or eight months, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say for sure because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet. But I clearly think Dakota County is moving forward with having an ongoing drug takeback program,â&#x20AC;? 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 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 heroin-

types of drugs out of households, out of the reach of teenagers and young people,â&#x20AC;? Bellow said. All prescriptions and over-the-counter medications that were collected during the event will be incinerated at a properlylicensed and managed fa-

cility. 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.

District 196 sets education

goals for 2010-11 school year Aspirations include improved test scores, continued magnet school development, reviewing emergency plans by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;assess the pitfallsâ&#x20AC;? of opening up this potential can of social media worms before any action is taken.

Breaking it down

a whole. Some individual schools also fell short. 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 studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety: the goal is to maintain and build upon what has already been achieved. The district is also looking to update its five-year financial 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 stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing fiscal crisis, which includes assumed cuts in K-12 funding, could pose a threat to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate goal: to maintain financial health without compromising the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission or beliefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is becoming more difficult,â&#x20AC;? Berenz said.

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 districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. this year on the MCAs as vehling@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount college looks to reopen food counter

Vending machines have been the staple for about a decade THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

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 countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative center to evaluate the dining setup.

Plot/from 1A Investigators allegedly later recorded conversations between Woodward and Jackson detailing the plot to murder or seriously maim the witness identified as MM in the complaint. Among the details Woodward allegedly discussed with Jackson were where to dispose of the weapon, arrangements for sending remaining payments after the murder, and the address of MM. The complaint states Woodward requested that Jackson beat MM severely, break her arms with a baseball bat and leave her in the woods. He allegedly told Jack-

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held six positions in the department, all with escalating responsibility. He served as training coordinator from 1996 to 1999 while working as a firefighter/paramedic. Harklerode was promoted to suppression captain in 1999 and operations captain in 2002. In 2004 thenChief Ron Payne installed Harklerode as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first assistant fire chief. He was named Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third fire chief after Payne retired in 2005. While still a firefighter/ paramedic Harklerode served as the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation manager. Accredited in 1997 by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, Burnsville was the first Minnesota department to earn the honor. The department didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek reaccreditation after 2005 because of the time and expense the process demands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an awful lot of work involved in that,â&#x20AC;? said Harklerode, a married father of three whose oldest son, Adam, is a firefighter for the Mdewakanton Fire Department, an Allina paramedic and a volunteer firefighter in Lakeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically it was a validation process. We always said we were good. This was a way that we were able to look at ourselves and see what we needed to improve on and then have an outside source come in and validate that.â&#x20AC;? Harklerode said the department could use more firefighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the city gives us is what I have to work with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I have to bring and raise my concerns, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done.â&#x20AC;? The full-time, 40-member department staffs three shifts of 11 firefighters each. The department is seeking a federal Homeland Security

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will reevaluate this after six months to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working for them and us. If it is, great. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a look at other opportunities

to help improve the space,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nearly what it used to be,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Tom Egan. Hoopingarner said old

equipment has been discarded and the area has received state approval for a kitchen to reopen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a win-win situation,â&#x20AC;? Hoopingarner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to try and opportunity with respect to their students. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;Ś and jurors.â&#x20AC;?

son to do whatever he needed to MMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend if he were to interfere. Third on Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 short-term 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, who have been involved in this case and have the utmost confidence in the Rice County Attorney who is pursuing this prosecution.â&#x20AC;?

grant to add another firefighter to each shift. Grant rules require the city to pick up the cost for a third year after two years of federal funding. The department is reapplying for the grant after its 2009 application was passed over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You ask every department (about staffing levels) and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, I do not have enough firefighters,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Harklerode said.

Though vacation and sick leave sometimes leave shifts with fewer than nine firefighters, at which point Harklerode uses overtime staffing, he said firefighters are never put at â&#x20AC;&#x153;undue risk.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great department,â&#x20AC;? Harklerode said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had any desire to go elsewhere.â&#x20AC;?

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

• 1,200 Minnesota families lost their child care assistance. • Funding cuts to the WIC program, which provides nutritious foods, counseling and health care referrals resulted in closed clinics forcing people in some areas to drive more than 50 miles to get

• An estimated 56,000 parents seeking help from the state in collecting owed child support are being charged higher fees.

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 Vote Mitch Scott for County Sheriff

all, while these calumnious legislators vote for more taxes and intrusive government. The scorecards from these non-partisan organizations have severely wounded Jim Carlson, Mason, Doll, Morgan, and Obermuller. The current demands to create a healthy economy, competitive health care, and lower taxes require a change in government. The candidates who can lift the heavy hand of government and who deserve your vote are Ted Daley, Diane Anderson, Doug Wardlow, Dan Hall and Pam Myhra. When these candidates are elected to office we will no longer fear seeing the report cards that big spenders fear and those who revere the Constitution and liberty will rejoice.

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 open-minded, trusting lead- BILL WALKER ership style as a breath of Eagan fresh air.

has already decided to let the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 expire in January. That means federal taxes are going up). Keep in mind, high taxes and excessive government regulation encourages employers to relocate out of state or even overseas. Good paying jobs, once out of state, seldom return. The best way to help the working people of Minnesota is to promote economic growth through lower government spending, less government regulation, and lower taxes. Diane Anderson will do this. She understands families don’t want a higher tax bill from St. Paul. They want a strong and stable economy that produces good paying jobs. They need Minnesota to have a competitive jobcreating climate for themselves and their children. Diane Anderson understands that the Minnesota legislature must bring spending under control without raising our taxes. NICK PARIS Burnsville

John Doll addresses real world issues To the editor: For those in our community looking for reasons to vote for one candidate or another, Sen. John Doll has given us many. Just last Saturday, Burnsville held a Prescription Drug Take-Back event as part of its hazardous waste take-back program. (It is unfortunate that the local newspaper that advertised this event did not mention that our own State Senator John Doll was the champion who authored the legislation that enabled these events to occur.) It is important to know that this legislation will save lives because prescription drugs use and abuse is a growing public safety and public health issue among our youth.

SF 1568 / HF 1217 was signed into law in April of this year. It expanded the categories of persons allowed to possess prescription and nonprescription drugs for the purpose of disposing them. This includes law enforcement officers, hazardous waste transporters, specially permitted hazardous waste facilities, and counties. It also allows individuals to lawfully transfer the drug to a county that collects, stores, transports or disposes of a legend drug. This forward thinking, common-sense legislation is exactly the type of work we have come to expect from Sen. John Doll. It should be noted that Senator Doll produces legislation that addresses real world problems and challenges in an immediate and meaningful manner. The prescription drug take-back legislation, which will make our children safer, is just one of them. DR. RICHARD LAFANS Eagan

have good coverage. In the process, our total health costs would decline because fewer people would be going to the emergency room, the most expensive health care we now have. Similar baseless charges about the quality of our education system and its costs, about the state bonding bill, and transparency of committee meetings further insult the institution of public debate. Carlson has done an outstanding job representing the south metro area. The sour grapes of a former legislator who did a poor job distract us from the work before us in the south metro area and the state. We need Carlson’s curiosity and intellect working for us in the state senate. We can expect to hear much noise and clamor from the disappointed proponents of right wing views who are upset with their current lack of power. Nevertheless, we must support the re-election of quality people like Jim Carlson to keep Minnesota moving forward.

Carlson a south metro asset

LARRY KOENCK Eagan

To the editor: State Sen. Jim Carlson is a dedicated, intelligent member of the Minnesota Senate ably representing Eagan and eastern Burnsville. His work on behalf of those of us victimized by outlandish increases in our health insurance premiums, and the reduction of health costs to all of us through his proposal to ensure we’re all covered are examples of his smart approach to the thorny health cost crisis our state has been experiencing. I was offended by recent distortions made by the former state senator, whom Carlson defeated in the last state senate election. Rather than an interpretation of the facts, the letter from this former incumbent delivered some fantastic ideas, representing them as facts. He said, for instance, that Carlson’s health care proposal would reduce the number of health insurance employees in Eagan. This allegation is patently false; the proposal would retain the employees and all Minnesotans would be covered, rather than the select few of us who now

Obermueller has lived up to his word

Obermueller is firmly rooted in Eagan, and cares about us. He always makes time to listen and respond intelligently and compassionately. Eagan deserves the best, and we have exactly that with Obermueller. BETTY FEDDE Eagan

Morrison’s openness and experience needed more than ever To the editor: As a retired principal in District 191 and a resident of Burnsville, I have invested in our public schools and I want to make sure District 191 schools remain strong and vital. I have seen firsthand Gail Morrison’s genuine commitment to the students and families of District 191. She has continually worked hard as a member of the District 191 School Board and understands what is needed to keep our schools strong and vital. Her dedication to shared decision-making began with her involvement as a parent representative on the Sky Oaks Site Council. It has continued as a member of the District 191 School Board. In each capacity she has made sure the voices of parents and students are heard and their needs and concerns are considered when making decisions. Morrison understands decisions are not made in a vacuum and have real effects for the students of District 191. Both the state of Minnesota and local school districts are being forced by the state’s budget deficit to make some difficult decisions that will greatly affect District 191. It will be important to have someone with Morrison’s experience and knowledge as a member of the District 191 School Board during the next four years. For this reason I support Gail Morrison in her re-election bid to the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191 School Board. A vote for Morrison will help ensure District 191 continues to keep a quality public education a priority for all of its students.

To the editor: Mike Obermueller’s dedication to education is implicit in his drive to ensure quality and opportunity, from early childhood through college. He consistently advocates for giving both students and teachers the tools they need to do their respective jobs. He knows that smaller class sizes and quality teachers are critical to the success of students, who will become our workers and leaders of tomorrow. Obermueller knows it’s critical to attract and keep a highly educated and skilled workforce, and to bring Minnesota’s creativity and ingenuity back. He advocates for the empowerment of small businesses to grow jobs through innovation. Obermueller stresses reform in order to get the full value from every one of our tax dollars. He champions eliminating unfunded mandates, streamlining and reducing regulations, controlling the cost of college tuition, and getting Minne- PATRICK FLYNN sotans back to work. Burnsville

by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new downtown wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a grand banquet hall. The Grandstay Hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $400,000 LaGrand Conference Center is expected to be completed in mid-October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope this will bring additional people to the area and assist local busi-

proposed to decrease, but there is a notable exception: the re-employment insurance levy, which has gone up $237,000 (or 139 percent) to $407,000, according to a district 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.

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.

October 1, 2010 THISWEEK

Education Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board approves preliminary levy By law, board has to pass preliminary levy, but Nov. 2 referendum will likely change tax numbers by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lakeville school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors approved the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary 2011 tax levy at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 28. After the unanimous vote, the preliminary tax levy calls for a $1.36 million, or 4.3 percent decrease, to the 2011 tax levy. But district officials acknowledge the numbers mean little at this point. The reason, according to Mark Klett, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of business services, is the unique position the district is in this year. There is a $3 million, voter-approved tax levy coming off the books next year, but while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expiring, and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be included in the preliminary 2011 levy, voters will have a chance on the Nov. 2 ballot to reauthorize it. The measure was originally approved by voters in 2003 to fund operating Lakeville South High School. Also on the ballot are two other referendums ask-

ing for levy dollars. If the renewal levy is reapproved, or the other two questions are passed, the preliminary levy passed by the board will be moot. Also adding haze to the 2011 tax-levy situation is Scott County, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released its exact tax rates payable for 2011. Until Scott County does â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dakota County has â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible for the district to tell property owners how much their individual taxes will be going up or down. While the approved preliminary levy is going down, it still calls for maximum increases for dollars going toward debt service as well as other, smaller levies. When the final levy is certified on Dec. 14, the amounts levied on property taxes for those line items can be reduced, but they cannot exceed what was approved on Tuesday. The approval of the preliminary 2011 tax levy is required by the state. Lakeville schools had until Sept. 30 to approve it. The levy talk is all part of a remarkable $21.2 mil-

lion budget deficit the district faces over the next biennium. To deal with that deficit, the district will have three questions appearing on the Nov. 2 ballot seeking more tax dollars. Even if approved, the Lakeville Area Public School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors will need to find a way to adjust $3 million from the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $100 million budget. The first question voters will see is the tax-neutral reauthorization of the $250 per pupil levy passed in 2003. The 10-year renewal will generate more than $5.8 million over the biennium and cut the deficit to $15.4 million. The second question is for authorization of a new $524 per pupil levy. The 10year measure will cost the owner of a $250,000 home, average for the community, $299 annually and will generate $12.4 million over the biennium, cutting the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit to $3 million. The final question is a one-time technology infu-

sion of $940,000 to purchase 875 new computers. The one-time tax impact is $39 on the average home. All told, the three questions will cost $348 a year, or $29 a month, in new property taxes, for the average home, the district says. If the questions fail and the district faces the full $21.2 million deficit, superintendent Gary Amoroso said the cuts would likely include cutting 150-175 jobs throughout the system, increases to fees, and the possible closure of a school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for specifics, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cross that bridge when and if we get there,â&#x20AC;? he said. There will be an open house for residents to talk about the levy with the school board at Kenwood Trail Middle School at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27. Also, people who have questions can call (952) 232-2027, or visit the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. isd194.k12.mn.us.

Eagan’s Sarah Schuetz goes for the block at the Apple Valley Invitational on Sept. 24. Eagan went 1-3 at the tournament, beating Moorhead but losing to Bethlehem Academy, Chaska and Shakopee. ille 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 importance of doing things right and not ever giving up,” Egan said. Eagan defeated Moorhead, but lost 2-1 to

Chaska in the 11th-place game. The Wildcats also lost to defending state Class 3A champion Shakopee and to defending Class A champion Bethlehem Academy. Almost every loss for Eagan this year has been against a top 10 team in Class 3A, 2A or 1A. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

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 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.

Burnsville In a wild back-and-forth game at Prior Lake on Sept. 24, Burnsville fell one point short, losing 34-33. Prior Lake took a 20-0 lead after about 15 minutes of play, but the Blaze caught up by halftime with two CJ Smith touchdown runs and a Brian Lien 48yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. Burnsville took the lead in the third quarter with Smith’s third touchdown, but the Lakers got it back in the fourth quarter. Behind by seven points, Burnsville scored off a TJ Goodson 2-yard run with 18 seconds left in the game, but the Blaze couldn’t convert on a 2-yard run as time expired. Smith had 178 yards rushing and Goodson had 109.

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. Quarterback Cameron Smith was out for the game after hurting his shoulder against Bloomington Kennedy on Sept. 17, but he should be back when the Blaze host Lakeville North on Oct. 1. in the state this year.

Sept. 24. Eastview fell behind 7-0 early, but proceeded to score four unanswered touchdowns for the win. Ryan Reger rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more.

Olson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficult question is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return on investment in this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to quantify sometimes.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are struggling with final numbers,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dakota County has 11 cities that one way or another have different departments that try to assist in economic development,â&#x20AC;? Herlofsky said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but bigger is more effective on a national level.â&#x20AC;? Anything that benefits the metro region as a whole could benefit Farmington, Herlofsky said, including a regional development entity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say anything bad against it is almost unAmerican,â&#x20AC;? 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.
