Envision enrollment down but not out Burnsville-Eagan-Savage’s performing arts magnet seeks to overcome growing pains by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Fewer students attend Envision Academy of the Arts in Burnsville this year compared with the previous year, but that does not mean it’s curtains for the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District’s performing arts magnet for grades nine through 12. Envision has around 50 students — one-third fewer than the 77 who attended last year (the school’s inaugural year). Carla Hines, the school’s new dean of students, said part of the

enrollment problem is simply promotion. “I think there was a lack of follow-up with those families that were interested,� Hines said. To fix this, she said, “we will send out informational flyers and announcement flyers to Burnsville and surrounding areas.� She added that the school is taking some proactive measures to attract more students, which includes attending open houses at other schools in addition to Envision hosting its own open house on Nov. 17.

Envision expanded this year to allow seniors to enroll. School Board Member Dan Luth said because of this the enrollment numbers are actually fairly static. That said, both Luth and Hines would like to see the numbers increase. “We have plenty of room to bring more people into the program,� Luth said. “You want to add a larger base of students that allows the sustainability of all those programs moving forward.� Hines said boosting enrollment is one of her primary goals, but not

the only one. She wants to “set a tone of academic excellence in the performing arts and core classes.� But reaching enrollment of 80 to 100 students — “solid students that really want to be there and really are focused on both performing and academic areas� — is important, she said.

Of two locales Students enrolled at Envision have a two-tiered school day. They start out at Burnsville High School at 7:25 a.m. and finish up at 4:15 p.m. at Envision,

Apple Valley’s Tom Obarski, No. 3, passes the ball during the Section 3AA soccer quarterfinals against Hastings. The Eagles won the game 10-0, putting their winning streak at 42 games. The previous Minnesota record for a consecutive winning streak in boys soccer was 40, set by Stillwater in the 1990s. Apple Valley is the defending Class AA state champion, and the team upped its 2010 season record to 18-0 with the win over Hastings.

Trash-can scofflaws will get friendly reminders from city Because of budget cuts, Burnsville will pursue violators less fervently by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Thanks to City Hall budget and job cuts, trash-can scofflaws in Burnsville will find the city pursuing them a little less fervently. City Council members agreed Oct. 12 to ease up on time-consuming enforcement procedures for a common property-maintenance violation: leaving the trash can out after collection day. But council members rejected another staff suggestion to allow more permanent storage of recreational vehicles and trailers in driveways.

“I guess our No. 1 complaint is trash cans� being left out too long, said Jenni Faulkner, community development director. City ordinance requires trash containers to be screened from view if kept outside. Of the 686 new cases handled so far this year by code enforcement inspector Ron Anderson, 124 were trash-can cases, Faulkner said. Another 24 included trash cans among other property violations. “I can see why this could be terribly annoying for some neighbors,� Council Member Mary Sherry said.

The city has responded to trashcan cases, revealed mostly through neighbors’ complaints, by sending a letter giving property owners 10 days to fix the problem. Another letter follows if the problem isn’t fixed. About 80 percent of property owners fix the problem after the first letter, Anderson said. The city currently doesn’t issue citations for trash-can cases alone, he said. Maybe 5 percent of property owners who get letters never seem to comply, Anderson said. Tracking the violations has See Trash Cans, 8A

which is located in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) in Burnsville’s Heart of the City. One theory surrounding enrollment issues is that this dichotomy obstructs students from spending time with their non-arts-oriented friends and reduces the ability to participate in extracurriculars (Envision’s school day is longer than an average one). At least one student can attest to this. Senior Abbey Jaeger, the student council representative on the School Board and an actress, See Arts Magnet, 8A

Candidates for mayor, council square off at forum by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two candidates for Eagan mayor and three candidates for City Council squared off Oct. 7 at a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Mayor Mike Maguire is seeking re-election, as are council members Paul Bakken and Gary Hansen. Challenging the incumbents are Joey Browner, who is seeking the mayor’s seat, and Bill White, who is seeking a seat on the council. Council candidate John Weiser was not able to attend the forum. During the debate, candidates fielded audience questions on everything from budgets to business retention. Browner, a former Minnesota Viking who works for the Metropolitan Council, said his priorities for Eagan are education and wasted space. He said he’d also like to make Eagan more transit-friendly, invite businesses back that have left, and encourage new businesses to settle here. The incumbents have done a great job, he said, but “the difference with my perspective is diversity. We need to be more diverse in what we’re

doing with our community, because our community is very diversified.� Maguire has served the city for the past eight years, first as a council member and then as mayor. Eagan is a strong community and successful city, he said, and he has the experience and dedication needed to lead it. His highest priority, he said, is protecting quality city services at a low tax price. “I’m running for re-election out of a commitment to the core values that we all uphold of responsibility and stewardship,� he said. Bakken is a two-term council member whose priorities include preserving open space, supporting key infrastructure, providing common-sense leadership, and protecting the taxpayers’ bottom line by making sure to get good value for tax dollars. “Eagan already has a very effective management team in place, and I’m proud to be a part of that management team,� he said. Current Council Member Gary Hansen said he offers experienced leadership, including 10-plus years on city and county advisory commissions. See Eagan, 12A

Five define themselves at Burnsville schools candidate forum Rahn, boundary changes, financial concerns among topics discussed by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Broad-stroke budget cuts, student achievement gaps and school attendance boundary rewrites: such is the stuff of an election season riddled with profound challenges that loom on the horizon. For the first and presumably last time until the Nov. 2 election, the five candidates vying for four seats on the District 191 School Board came together to discuss issues at a candidates’ forum at the Diamondhead Education Center in Burnsville. The candidates (incumbents Dan Luth and Gail Morrison and challengers Peter Beckel, Jim Schmid and Paula Teiken) were General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

hit with a barrage of questions from moderator Tom Taylor, some students from a high school government class and the audience.

Strength and weakness One of the major questions of the night – defining the district’s strengths and weaknesses – revealed a candidate pool that for the most part agrees with each other on several key issues, though with some divergence. For the most part, they all agreed that district staff, children and the community as a whole are the strengths in the district. Luth, who is running for his third term on the board, said “we’re in the people business.� Morrison, also seeking a third term, applauded the community for its support of the public schools. “We have a committed

professional staff,� Morrison said. “We have a community who cares about students whether or not they have children in school.� Further complimenting the staff, Teiken added that “we are fortunate to have them. It’s best for us to keep on empowering them and supporting them in our role.� Schmid, who has run for a seat on the board in past elections, built off that theme and went deeper into the schools. “We have a strong curriculum. It’s stronger now than when I was a student,� said Schmid, who graduated from Burnsville High School in the 1980s. Schmid also commended the district for fiscal responsibility. “The district has done a good job of managing its budget,� he said. Beckel, who has also sought a seat in the past, See District 191, 11A

Arts center’s revenue ‘headed in the right direction,’ commission chair says

�� � �

by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Boosting revenue and improving marketing are jobs the Burnsville Performing Arts Center and its new advisory commission must tackle, commission Chairman Paul Jacques told the City Council Oct. 12. “In order to increase revenues, we have to get more people in the theater on a regular basis,� Jacques told the council. Signs are good, according to Jacques. Revenue in 2011 is forecasted to exceed 2010’s forecasted amount by 18 percent, he said in an interview. The center is “headed in the right direction on the numbers,� Jacques told the council. He and Commissioner Sal Mondelli gave the commission’s first quarterly report to the council at its

Oct. 12 work session. The nine-member body began meeting in July. The council appointed the commission after a tough first year for the center, which lost $533,600 in 2009 after opening in January, according to management company VenuWorks. Though operating losses were expected and are expected to continue, the city budgeted for a subsidy of only $265,475, while VenuWorks predicted a subsidy of $346,220. A center the size of Burnsville’s, which has a 1,000-seat main theater and a 150-seat black box theater, can become self-supporting with municipal support, endowments, grant funds and corporate backing, Jacques said after the work session. He said Executive Director Jon Elbaum and his VenuWorks team have

ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝

“made a lot of progress� since Elbaum started work in March. Elbaum succeeded Wolf Larson, the first director, who moved to Spain. “We’ve got to look at this as a startup business, and we’re in year two of a startup business that had an executive change in the middle of that,� Mondelli told the council. Elbaum said his top priority for boosting use of the center would be a fund allowing management to take the risk of booking its own shows, not just waiting for promoters. It could be a city fund or come from private donors, he said. It’s high time the fund was established, Council Member Dan Kealey said. “How can we make that happen sooner than later?� he said. Mondelli said more See Revenue, 14A

Rosemount man answers to Dakota County charges

Former Minneapolis cop pleads guilty to armed robbery THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Carson for no front license plate, and let him go after he said he was a Minneapolis Police officer. As it turned out, Carson was on his way to rob an Apple Valley bank before going to work. He was later identified as the man who burst into the Apple Valley Wells Fargo Bank branch, pointed his gun at three tellers, jumped on the counter and ordered everyone to put their hands up and their heads down. Carson then directed tellers to give him money, and he left with $4,580. Soon after the incident, the Apple Valley officer who had stopped Carson earlier was called to the robbery scene. On the way, the officer saw Carson’s vehicle heading away from the bank. Suspicious, he alerted authorities. When questioned, Carson offered information that connected himself to 12 unsolved robberies around the metro.

A decorated war veteran and former Minneapolis Police officer has pleaded guilty to seven counts of armed robbery charges. Timothy Edward Carson, 29, of Rosemount, was earlier this month sentenced to 10 years in prison for five counts of aggravated robbery in Hennepin County. The time will be served concurrently with a previous eight-year sentence he received for committing armed robbery of an Apple Valley bank in January. On Tuesday, with his criminal defense attorney Andrew Small, Carson made his first appearance and entered guilty pleas in Dakota County court on five additional counts of first-degree aggravated robbery and two counts of first-degree attempted aggravated robbery. Carson will be sentenced Dec. 14 in Hastings. “We intend to seek appropriate consequences for this brazen and violent criminal behavior committed by an officer sworn to uphold the law,� said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Previously in court, Carson has demonstrated remorse for his actions, which have been attributed to overwhelming problems including his wife’s false claims she and their baby daughter had been raped, and that she had fatal leukemia and was undergoing chemotherapy. Carson was also broke, and under pressure as their house was in foreclosure. In addition, the former SWAT team member suffered from brain damage and post-traumatic stress disorder from his service

in Iraq, for which he received two medals for bravery and saved the lives of some fellow solTimothy diers. Carson In court t e s t i m o ny, Carson is said to have snapped, and last November decided to commit robberies and die in a police confrontation so his family could receive $250,000 from his life insurance policy. But on Dec. 15, 2009, when Carson committed his first robbery at a dry cleaning business, there was no police confrontation. Carson’s psychologist testified that he decided to keep going until he was caught, so his family would have money to carry them through until the insurance would pay off from his death. He robbed various stores and a woman of her ATM card until Jan. 6 when he encountered an alert Apple Valley Police officer. The officer had stopped

Letters Debate no-shows To the editor: I’d like to extend thanks to challengers Ted Daley, Diane Anderson and Doug Wardlow for participating in the debate hosted by Dakota County Regional Chamber at Eagan City Hall on Sept. 30. The forum was held so candidates running for Senate and House seats in Eagan and parts of Burnsville could share their

views with the voters. Daley, Anderson and Wardlow clearly believe that Minnesota has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. They made compelling arguments for holding the line on taxes and fostering a business climate that will create jobs. As a resident and local business owner, I look forward to this traditional forum that has been held for

many years. I like to hear candidates firsthand share their priorities and demonstrate their ability to articulate and lead. Unfortunately, incumbents Jim Carlson, Sandra Masin and Mike Obermueller were no-shows. Why didn’t they participate? Where do they stand on the issues? Are they ashamed of their records? Are they content with

the status quo? Whatever the reason, the fact that they did not even show up is very disappointing and reflects badly on our current senator and representatives. JOHN CURLEE Eagan

Germain, Lindstrom for a way forward To the editor:

We hear much about solutions to the financial distress in our south-metro community, the joblessness, the lack of economic activity. The solutions I believe are important just now have to do not with a tax cut for upper-income citizens, but for average homeowners who have seen their property taxes double during our recession. Our state must invest in its children and se-

niors, in opportunity for its low-income families struggling to survive. Mike Germain is running for state Senate in Apple Valley and Rosemount and he represents our best chance to realize our commitment to veterans, to children and their education, and to a way to reduce our health costs while we keep excellent care. He invites us to step up to make the changes we need in our state. Likewise, Derrick Lindstrom wants the educational opportunities for his child we all want for ours. This requires investing in our schools, and he is committed we have better than the 40 students per class we are seeing now. The jobs he supports for us are good-paying and will work for reviving our economy and prospects for families in Apple Valley. It’s time for a change in the south-metro area. People no longer want the outmoded, trickle-down policies that helped cause this recession. JUDY FINGER Apple Valley

Flyer was rubbish To the editor: A Republican Partysponsored flyer criticizes Rep. Mike Obermueller for supporting a breeding bird atlas. It calls it “wasteful� and a “pet project.� The flyer is a pathetic distortion. The truth is the project was one of 48 recommended by the Legislative Citizens Commission on Minnesota Resources. This commission consists of bipartisan members of the House and Senate and citizen members appointed by the House, Senate and governor. It evaluates and recommends to the Legislature projects to be funded from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. This fund, created through a constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by voters, is dedicated to natural resource purposes. The funding source is a portion of the state lottery proceeds. It does not involve general fund taxes. If you do not participate in the lottery, you do not contribute to this fund. The House bill related to this funding (H.F. 2624) passed by a vote of 95-36, the Senate bill (S.F. 3275) by a vote of 59-7. Republican legislators also supported the bill. Gov. Pawlenty signed the bill into law. The project provides a first-time specific survey of all the breeding birds in the state. The information will be available to land and resource managers, the public and policy-makers; provide an invaluable resource for future management and research of bird populations; and will be posted free of charge on the Internet. The project will be conducted by Minnesota Audubon and the Natural Resources Research Institute at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Why is the project important? Aside from the fact that birds have an intrinsic value as part of the natural environment, they are also a significant economic factor. Wildlife viewing, much of it centered on bird watching, is an important outdoor recreation activity and provides a $400 million contribution to Minnesota’s economy. Our large tourism industry benefits significantly from travel and purchases related to bird watching. Obermueller was clearly in the mainstream with the large majority of legislators and the governor in supporting this appropriation. He is to be commended for supporting a carefully evaluated set of recommendations directing state lottery dollars to their intended purpose. The flyer, on the other hand, reflects poorly on those who create, fund and distribute such rubbish.

Opinion Guest Columnist What you can do to prevent domestic violence by Leslie Metzen SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. So what should we be aware of ? Domestic violence is pervasive throughout our community. I learned this working as a District Court judge when nearly every day my work involved some type of case involving domestic violence. Did you know that one-third of American women report physical or sexual abuse by an intimate partner at some time during their life? Or that 20 percent of adolescent girls report experiencing physical or sexual assault by a date? Most abuse is perpetrated by men and boys against girls and women. What supports this behavior? We live in a culture where girls and women are commonly portrayed as sexual objects. The media certainly play a role. Violent television programs, video games and movies. Some music young people listen to glamorizes physical and sexual violence toward

girls and women. Pornography is the worst form of the objectification of women. Many boys are raised with a sense of entitlement to power and control over those weaker than themselves, including women and girls. All of this contributes to social norms that allow some to think that violence against women is OK. Awareness alone will not eliminate violence against girls and women. So what can you do? We each need to recognize the harm to our community from domestic violence. Lost productivity and medical costs have a direct financial impact on all of us. Does your workplace have a policy to support victims of domestic violence? Educators already know that children growing up in violent homes are more prone to truancy, experimentation with drugs and alcohol, teen pregnancy, academic

struggles. Young people need to be able to recognize controlling and abusive behaviors when they start to date, the red flags of unhealthy relationships. You can ask your school principals and school boards if they offer programs on healthy dating relationships. You can encourage your faith community youth group to do the same. Dads, granddads, uncles, older brothers and coaches need to teach and mentor boys to value and respect women. Boys need to get the message – “Never hit a woman” – from another man and from their friends. Men need to call out other men for their violent, misogynistic behavior toward women. They must say to their brothers and best friends: “This has got to stop; harming women is not okay.” It takes courage to speak up but once a few step up, others will join. As a parent you can demonstrate what healthy relationships look like. Young children can learn non-violent ways to resolve

conflict. There are countless websites that have information for parents to help them have conversations with their teens (e.g., endabuse.org, teendvmonth.org, mcbw.org). If your family is experiencing violence, reach out for help. The Lewis House, (651) 452-7288, can provide services for women and children and can refer men to programs that help them learn ways to be a better partner and parent. At 360 Communities and the Lewis House, we do our work with the help of volunteers and the support of the community. The work to end domestic violence is never done and we can always use more resources. If you are a good listener or interested in advocating for victims and their children; if you can help with child care while moms attend support groups; and if you can organize a group activity or serve a meal to 25-30 residents, let us hear from you. We also need more volunteer attorneys to attend court with women

seeking protection orders. There are many opportunities, both for short-term projects at the shelters and for continuing, direct services to victims. And, of course, we welcome your financial support. Giving is easy on our website, 360communities.org. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is about raising awareness in our communities. Let’s also make it the month that each of us takes some small action to stand up to the forces in our society that permit violence against women and girls to occur. Let October be the month where women and girls are valued and respected. Leslie Metzen is senior director of violence prevention for 360 Communities and a retired District Court judge of 23 years. Metzen was recently appointed to the State Guardian Ad Litem Board by Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Wardlow is for we, the people To the editor: In our America, a country born of people who sought freedom from big government, it is the everexpanding government that threatens to take the same freedom from future generations. It is our inflated government that threatens the financial security and independence of our children and grandchildren, makes us debtors to other nations, and imposes its will over the protests of the American people. Here in House District 38B, incumbent Rep. Mike Obermueller is practicing much the same catastrophic philosophy. Just review his voting record to see how he fought efforts to limit the reckless spending of our hard-earned money, leading Minnesota down the path to bankruptcy, just like we’ve seen happen in California. We have had enough of these elitist, irresponsible politicians who disregard the wishes of the folks who elected them. It is time for us to elect Doug Wardlow, Eagan’s born-and-raised bright, young attorney who fights for small businesses and property owners, a new father who wants for his family what you do for yours. His proven ingenuity, integrity and accountability offer genuine hope for a fresh new

direction. In the midst of the usual political posturing and empty promises, let’s elect a refreshingly different candidate, someone who will devote himself to we, the people of Minnesota, rather than commit blind obedience to the Obama agenda, in order to secure a better and brighter tomorrow for young and old, rich and poor alike.

Myhra has solutions To the editor: Recently my wife and I attended a seniors issue forum that was held at The Arbors at Ridges. As a senior voter in House District 40A I was most interested in hearing the views of our legislative candidates. One candidate in particular, Pam Myhra, offered logical and common-sense solutions to the issues we face today. It was apparent that she recognizes private-sector jobs as the only way to grow our state’s economy. Excessive government regulations and spending are not cures of a struggling economy. Because of a reduction in family income under current economic conditions, Myhra spoke of her family’s need to prioritize its budget and live within its means. We need to demand that our government also sets priorities and lives within its

means. Pam Myhra has our the jobs before receiving any vote. refund of the sales tax on the construction materials ART MATYCHUK used in the expansion.

Letter in defense of Carlson’s health care bill was misinformed

Three candidates stand out

To the editor: Larry Koenck’s recent letter to the editor defending District 38 Sen. Jim Carlson’s single-payer, government-run health care bill is one of the most misinformed letters of the year. Koenck claims that Carlson’s bill doesn’t reduce local jobs at Blue Cross Blue Shield. If he would read the bill, S.F. 419, and focus on line 23.24 he would find that Carlson’s bill bans the sale of private health plans. No more consumer choice in health plan; you are left at the mercy of the state government. No more need for Blue Cross. But don’t believe me and don’t believe Koenck; read the bill online for yourself at www.senate.mn. You will find no place in the bill that says that the state plan supported by Carlson will be outsourced, much less to Blue Cross. The result is mass layoffs at one of Eagan’s largest employers. In fact, if you look at line 16.6 of the bill, it even provides for retraining of these workers. No amount of spin by Carlson or his allies can cover up that he supports a health plan far more radical than Obamacare and that thousands of local residents would lose their jobs if his plan were to pass. I’ll be voting for Ted Daley this year. We need someone like Daley who will really represent our district instead of the radicals.

If there is anyone who has brought honor and integrity to the House of Representatives it is Kline, with his rejection of the pork-barrel earmarks of the Democrats. Equally fortunate for Burnsville voters, two other strong, proven candidates for whom we can vote are City Councilmen Charlie Crichton and Dan Kealey, who are running for re-election.

Mack is a voice for all of District 37A To the editor: As a resident in District 37A, it has been refreshing to have local leadership that has maintained its roots in the community. At the same time, it is also refreshing to

have leadership that stands for clear principles and encourages legislation for job growth, economic opportunity, and local empowerment. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all be proud to be represented by Rep. Tara Mack. From the first day she sought to serve our district, Mack has worked tirelessly to meet face to face with her constituents and gather their input. This truly has set her apart as a voice for all of District 37A and an example of true leadership. JILL RYAN Burnsville

Teiken will be a valuable addition To the editor: Please join me in supporting Paula Teiken for the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Board of Education. Teiken has prepared herself well to take on the position of school board member. She is an active volunteer in her children’s elementary schools. She has served outside the district on the Dakota Family Support Committee, a committee that supports parents and caregivers of children from birth through pre-kindergarten receiving early-intervention services. She currently serves on the Dakota County Interagency Early Intervention Committee and represents Sky Oaks Elementary School on the ISD 191 Special Education Advisory Council. Teiken graduated from the 2010 Partners in Policymaking program, a program sponsored by the Minnesota Council on Developmental Disabilities that teaches advocacy at the local, state and federal levels of government. The skills she learned there will be very helpful as our district faces the funding difficulties of the next few years and works to become more efficient and effective in providing a world class education to all our students. Teiken has explored what it means to be a board member with current and former members of the 191 board. She is committed to the best interests of all children. She is an active listener, a proven collaborator and works hard to align resources with goals. For these reasons, I believe she will be a valuable addition to the 191 Board of Education.

It will feature experts from the Financial Planning Association and highly qualified Certified Financial Planner professionals, all volunteering their time and expertise to work oneon-one with local residents.

The advice will be offered on a “no strings attached� basis. Planners will not give out business cards or sell financial products or services. The event will also feature a series of classroom-style educational workshops, including “Budgeting 101,�

“Real World Retirement Planning,� “Investment Basics� and “Forging Your Financial Future.� Twin Cities Financial Planning Day is organized by the city of Burnsville in partnership with the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota as part of a national Financial Planning Days initiative created by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Financial Planning Association, Foundation for Financial Planning and U.S. Conference of Mayors.

sue. One bloc was interested in a single, cohesive campus for Envision at and around the PAC, and the other supported the current setup. The board actually voted for the single-campus plan, but when newly elected board members took their seats in January 2009 that decision was reversed. Luth was among those who supported the single campus. He said that he now sees a benefit to having two sites. “It gives them the best of both worlds,� he said. “They can operate as their own group and have a connection to the broader high school as well.�

But in an interview in August, she mentioned that she attended Envision last year and opted to return to BHS full time this year. One remedy for this is simply time. As more freshman and sophomores enroll in the program they will establish a community and routine that involves both sites, district officials say. “Enrolling in (Envision) in ninth grade does give them a head start in getting acclimated into high school,� Hines said.

way storage, but now allows driveway storage for no more than 14 consecutive days. The council made the change after a contentious review of recreational-vehicle storage in 2006. The 14-day edict is difficult to track and enforce, Faulkner said. “It literally is a moving target for enforcement, and futile at times,� she said. Council members reprised the old RV debate before settling on no change. “We’ve got to be reasonable,� said Council Member Charlie Crichton, who was on the council when the 14-day standard was approved. “These are driveways. They’re not parking spaces.� “That’s private property, too,� responded Council Member Dan Kealey, who wasn’t on the council in 2006. He said he has no problem with letting the vehicles sit in the driveway. “I’m a little bit of a property-rights guy,� Kealey said. Council members did endorse a staff recommendation to allow landscape rock on vehicle storage pads in side and rear yards. Now, only Class 5 gravel is allowed.

become burdensome for Anderson, the city’s only code inspector, since four positions were cut from the city’s Development/Redevelopment area as part of $3.5 million in budget reduction. Anderson once had a full-time assistant and another full-timer during warm weather, along with volunteer help. Now he relies only on volunteers. The new enforcement procedure will be to leave a reminder note on the violator’s trash can or front door. Reinspection and another note will follow only if the city receives another complaint. Cases won’t be entered into city records and monitored unless there are multiple complaints on a single property. Then the old process will kick in. The council favored extending the “friendly reminder� enforcement method to recreational equipment, trailers and camping vehicles. But it won’t allow more permanent storage of them in driveways. Staff suggested changing city ordinance to allow them to be stored in driveways during the “season of use.� The city used to John Gessner is at burnsville. allow season-of-use drive- thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

changed things up a bit. “Our main strength and weakness is teachers,� he said. Speaking to the weaknesses of the district, Beckel, a former substitute teacher, said he thought it takes public school teachers eight to nine hours to teach what home-schooled children learn in two hours. He blamed this on disruptive students. “Why have in-school detention? I’d like to see discipline on Saturdays and make (the students) do work on Saturdays,� he said. Luth offered up a completely different district weakness: geography. “Our facilities are good, but we’re a closed district,� Luth said. “We have no land in the area to build a new building as other districts do. We have to make our buildings last forever.� Morrison said one weakness is an achievement gap. Citing MCA-II test results for some minority groups, Morrison said the district needs to do more to help those students achieve equity. Teiken said a weakness, or perhaps an area for improvement, would be to more closely align the district to state curriculum standards so the students learn more of what they will be tested for on standardized tests. Schmid said he would like to see more involvement in the secondary schools’ parent-teacher organizations. He also said that a challenge is attracting more involvement from the 70 percent of residents in the district who do not have children who attend the public schools.

Budget: what to cut The state government faces a budget deficit equal to about 20 percent of its entire budget. With 40 percent of its total budget dedicated to K-12 education, area public school districts are preparing for the worst. Taylor asked the candidates a question of that theme: with flat or reduced funding, what will your budget priorities be? Beckel said the district needs to cut spending 20 percent across the board. “Everyone needs to share the brunt of this,� he said. He said the district could save money by paying good teachers more money and terminating the bad ones. Morrison said a benchmark for setting budget priorities is “quite simple.� “We should look at everything we do in light of student achievement,� she said. Luth said that with 70 percent of expenditures going to the classroom, everyone will indeed feel the cuts. He suggested relaxing class-size restrictions for non-core or elective classes in exchange for class-size protections in core classes. For Schmid, the budget could be leaner through the streamlining of administration and assessing underutilized or under-performing programs. Teiken said she would like to see more privatepublic partnerships and an emphasis on student achievement. She sees this as a way toward staying solvent. She said she would also like to see the public ac-

are down about a third according to the district. The five candidates all essentially endorsed the merits of the district’s magnet programs. Beckel, though, thinks they could go further. “I think they should be in all the schools,� he said. Morrison sees the glass as half-full. “The future for STEM and Envision are very bright,� she said. Luth added Rahn to the fold. Though it is not a magnet program, it will take on a special quasi-magnet role the next three years.

“It has brought a whole new wave of enthusiasm,� he said. Judith Morin was one of about 14 forum attendees. The Burnsville woman told a Thisweek reporter at the conclusion of the forum that she was leaving no more certain of who to vote for than when she arrived. Morin said it was her first time ever attending a forum. “I came because there are so many open seats on the board, so I wanted to learn what (the candidates) hoped to contribute,� she said.

One candidate did stand out for her in some ways. Morin said she wanted to know more about Beckel’s background and involvement in the schools. “He seemed to hold some very strong opinions about what to change in the district,� she said. Moderator Taylor, whose company Shippers Resource Center sponsored the event, provided the candidates all the questions ahead of time (except for the extemporaneous audience ones).

If re-elected, his priority is to continue to provide high-quality services while maintaining an affordable tax base. “My objective ‌ is to keep us moving in the right direction,â€? he said. White, a retired Eagan police officer of 31 years, believes the city’s leaders need to come up with creative ways to save money. If elected, he said he wants to keep taxes reasonable and provide strong infrastructure, including police, fire, roads, parks and water. “I want to help keep Eagan as great a place to live for you as it has been for us,â€? he said. When asked what major challenges Eagan will face in the next few years, candidates generally agreed the budget will continue to be a big one. Like most other cities, Eagan will continue to face decreasing revenues from decreasing property values and the pressure to maintain services, Maguire said. “We need to look at taxpayers as shareholders in a corporation and ask ourselves, where do you get your biggest return on investment in terms of services you want and the price you pay?â€? he said. The city is in a good position to face future chal-

lenges because of the forward-looking planning it has done over the years, he said. Hansen agreed, noting the city has already weaned itself off state aid. “Eagan has done a great job in being fiscally prudent,� he said. White said the city needs to be creative in figuring out how to continue to provide good services without cutting anything and keeping taxes low. “Everything should be looked at from top to bottom,� he said. Infrastructure will also be a challenge, such as keeping roads and sewers in good shape, and it will be important to create a good business climate to provide jobs and a good tax base, he said. Another major challenge, Bakken said, will be holding the line and preserving open spaces. “Because once they’re gone, they’re gone,� he said. Supporting key infrastructure will also be a challenge, so the city needs to plan long term to sock away money to replace that infrastructure. “We’re in relatively good shape; we just have to make sure that we don’t lose sight of our goals and keep our eye on the ball and keep things on track,� he said. Browner said Eagan will

face a number of challenges in the future, including diversity, wasted space, education and infrastructure in addition to economic challenges. “Everyone here in the city is experiencing the crush like everyone across the country,� he said. “But we have to be able to go out and entice different ideas and not be with the status quo anymore because the status quo is not working.� When asked what budget cuts each candidate would make if necessary, Browner said he would consult with citizens. “The people of the city and the residents know where there is opportunities to cut,� he said. “We want opinions.� Unfortunately, Hansen said, the first place to look for cuts is personnel. The city has already had to make some those cuts and make things more efficient, he said. Hansen said he would also look at deferred maintenance on equipment or facilities, cutting back on temporary or seasonal services, and adding user fees to recreational programs. White said he doesn’t think cutting employees is necessarily the first step. Rather, the city can do creative cutting such as parttime and seasonal help, cutting back on city mailings,

keeping equipment longer, pooling with other cities on big purchases and adding user fees for parks for softball, baseball and soccer leagues. He agreed with Browner on seeking citizen feedback. “You the citizens have to give your input to us,� he said. That’s a good idea, Bakken said. “In fact, it’s such a good idea that we’ve already been doing it,� he said, referring to a series of budget open houses for citizens held by the city. Bakken said he believes the core mission of any municipality is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. “Those core functions of infrastructure and public safety are not to be compromised, even in the face of budget reductions. Everything else is on the table,� he said. The budget topic presents a definite contrast between candidates, Maguire said. The theoretical cuts proposed by opponents are very nonspecific, he said. “And yet you have a mayor and two council members who have actually done this, and not in theoretical ways,� he said. Employee costs make up the bulk of the city budget, so suggestions like cost sharing are essentially chump change, he said. Maguire said as mayor, he’ll continue to encourage dialogue with the community to determine budget priorities. Candidates were also asked how they would attract new businesses to the city, and all agreed Eagan’s location is a unique asset. Bakken and Hansen said the city already offers a business-friendly climate. “I think where we best leverage our ability to attract and retain businesses is to continue to do what we do best, and that’s to maintain the limited menu of services that we offer at a very affordable price,� Bakken said. White said he has heard from the business community complaints that their taxes keep going up, so keeping taxes reasonable is important. Another concern of businesses is the issue of eminent domain, Browner said. “We’re going to try to minimize using that because we want to keep businesses here,� he said. Maguire said that while attracting new businesses is important, it’s also important to maintain relationships with existing businesses. Elected officials should learn from businesses what they need from the city and state Legislature, and advocate on their behalf. Marketing the city to companies looking to relocate is also important, he said. For residents who missed the debate, it will be rebroadcast on Comcast Channel 15 several times prior to the election.

Irish football has been the talk of the southern suburbs so far by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

There’s every reason to believe the Ro s e m o u n t football team could run pretty far into playoffs this fall. The Irish have one of the most dominating running games to come out of the south metro in years, averaging almost 288 yards per game. But coaches like to say one game at a time because that’s truly how they take it. Rosemount has run out ahead of the bunch in the South Suburban Conference, but it has two challenging teams remaining on its regular-season schedule. Rosemount will welcome Eastview (4-2) to town on Friday. Many coaches tell me before the season starts their team could be struggling early and finding their way by October. Eastview embodies that statement. After losing to Lakeville North and Eden Prairie in the first two games, Eastview has won four straight. It all started with a wild game against Eagan, which nearly pulled off a last-second comeback. The Lightning found an offensive identity and continued to evolve from there. Eastview went on to

Sports Briefs Good Shepherd soccer wins championship Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Burnsville won the Twin Cities Lutheran Grade School League soccer championship on Oct. 1, defeating Crown of Life Lutheran School of West St. Paul. The teams were tied 0-0 at the end of regulation and remained scoreless after overtime expired. Good Shepherd, a co-ed team of fifth- through eighth-graders, won the shoot-out victory, stopping all five shots on goal and scoring on their fourth try. Good Shepherd advanced to the championship after defeating Bethany Academy of Bloomington one day earlier. The league is comprised of 14 area kindergarten through eighth grade Lutheran schools located in the Twin Cities metro.

Burnsville won 29-21. win its next two games by a combined 45-7 against Bloomington Kennedy and Apple Valley. A few days later, Rosemount will make the trip to Eagan, which is 4-2. In both of Eagan’s losses, its offense was in the opponent’s territory down by a score as time expired. Eagan is one of the most underrated teams in the metro two-years running. Quarterback Jameson Parsons is one of those football players who looks like he’s playing a different

game at a different speed than anyone else. The Wildcat defense will need to consistently hold teams to less than 20 points, something it’s done once this year, to be successful in the playoffs, which begin on Oct. 26. Other teams in Section 3-5A will get a chance to redefine their seasons during sections, too. The winless Apple Valley football team will always have 2007 to look at for inspiration. The Eagles didn’t win a game during

have been outscored 55-3. Something is going to break on Friday when they travel to Bloomington Jefferson, another winless team which has given up a score in every quarter except for one. The Burnsville Blaze could be a dark horse in the section as well this year. They were given up for dead weeks ago with an injured star quarterback and a heartbreaking 34-33 loss to Prior Lake. With quarterback Cam Jones back on his feet and CJ Smith running wild, the Blaze beat Lakeville North 26-3 and kept pace with Eagan, losing 29-21. This is one of the best Burnsville teams in years, but mistakes have cost them. Both the defense and the offense have played well, but not always at the same time. In recent years, the Section 3-5A champion hasn’t always had the best record, but it’s made noise at state. Last year’s champion, Eastview (5-3 in the regular season) nearly knocked off the eventual state champion, Cretin-Derham Hall, 27-24 in the quarterfinals. The 2008 and 2006 section champs, Rosemount, and 2007 champs, Eastview, both made it to the state semifinals as well.

the regular season, but beat Bloomington Kennedy and Rosemount to play in the section finals. This year, Apple Valley isn’t a typical winless team. In most games, the Eagles were ahead at some point against some solid teams. Losing to Eagan on Sept. 24 was a real letdown. There were many situations where they thought they had that game wrapped up. They got that “here we go again” feeling and it nevAndy Rogers is at er went away. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Soccer: Wildcat girls team wins conference by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Winning the South Suburban Conference meant a lot to the Eagan girls soccer team. The Wildcats were undefeated during conference play with just one tie and seven wins. The girls averaged nearly three goals per game while giving up less than one. “The team not allowing a lot of goals was a combination of good goaltending and excellent defensive play,” coach Mark Obarski said. “The team does not care who scores, they are very unselfish, at times they overpass close to the goal.” That gave Eagan the No. 1 seed in the Section 3AA tournament. Obarski knows what it takes to win coming in as the defending champions. “Soccer really comes down to three things that determine a game – attitude, talent and fortune – and I think it will take a combination of the three to win the section this year, as many teams are so close,” Obarski said. There were no upsets in the quarterfinals as all the top seeds moved on. Eagan defeated Hastings 5-0, Rosemount shut out Farmington 4-0, Apple Valley rallied past Henry Sibley 7-0, and Eastview outlasted Park 2-0. The semifinals were scheduled for Thursday and

Conference cross country features many of the state’s best by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

As much as it seems like cross country is an individual sport, it will take an entire team to win the South Suburban boys conference title Friday at Eagan High School. Each team will rely on several runners, not just its top two or three, to win the first-ever South Suburban Conference title. Three teams in the conference – Rosemount, Burnsville and Eastview – have been ranked in the top 10 this season by the coaches association poll. They’ll go head-to-head for the first

time this season on Friday. “Whoever wins will have to run a fairly flawless race,” Eastview coach Tom Sharp said. Winning is going to take a strong effort from every runner. Burnsville knows what can happen when one runner falls behind a competitor down the final stretch. At the St. Olaf Challenge in Northfield on Sept. 17, Burnsville lost to White Bear Lake by one point. “It opened our eyes that we have to do the small things for us to improve to the next level,” Burnsville coach Jeff Webber said.

The Blaze hope to push each other along the track to ensure all their runners cross the finish line as soon as possible. “Our three to five runners need to perform really well to win,” Webber said. Coming off a convincing victory at the Dick Mitchell Invitational in LaCrosse, Wis., on Sept. 30, Eastview feels like it has a chance to win the conference. Eastview runs with just two seniors, but onethrough-seven have moved up the ranks as a pack. “We can compete with any of the teams if we keep our pack together,” Sharp

said. “We believe our four through seven runners can give us an advantage if they run as they are capable.” Both teams are chasing the favorite in Rosemount, which won the Ev Berg Invitational in Owatonna on Oct. 7. “As a team, our top five had the second-best combined time on this course, second only to our 2006 state runner-up squad,” Irish coach Chris Harder said. Shane McCallum nearly matched Jordan Carlson’s time from 2006, marking the best time on this course by an Irish runner since

Chad Duffy in 1990. “Shane sensed the slower pace and threw in an early surge,” Harder said. “Our guys went with him and we had control the rest of the way. Rosemount’s next two runners, Nathan Rock and Chandler Dye, have also run up the score, finishing second and third. “Our depth is going to be the key for our team the rest of the season,” Harder said. Individually, the conference features some of the top runners in the state in including Burnsville’s Cole O’Brien, McCallum, Lakeville North’s Ben Sax-

ton, Eagan’s Sidney Speir, Eastview’s Erik Rosvold and Ken Hoffman. O’Brien has some of the fastest legs around, but it’s his head that separates him from the pack. “I think Cole is very mentally tough, but he also understands the importance of the team aspect of crosscountry running,” Webber said. “His greatest strength is easy: His ability to let bad days go and takes his training very seriously.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

ning 2-1. The team has put up an average of 2.5 goals per game this season. Taylor Browning (19 goals) and Jordan Sammons (12 goals) have combined into a scoring machine. “Jordan does not have that look of a polished and skilled soccer player but she is a very good athlete and a hard worker,� Randa said. “She brings a toughness to us on the front and also is able to find people who are open and get the ball to them. She very rarely loses a one-on-one battle. “Taylor has great speed, but does not look like she is working hard at all. She has a good touch on the ball with her back to the net and is able to get past defenders when they are not expecting it.� Browning and Sammons each had two goals in the 7-0 quarterfinal victory against Henry Sibley. Megan Nichols, Megan Makki and defender Ally Schulz also put in a goal each. Keeper Lauren Hoeppner not only earned the shutout, but she had an assist on the team’s fourth goal. The defense of Schulz, Jenaye Coleman, Nicole Halstead, Taylor Stainbrook and Lexi Case limited Henry Sibley to long-distance shots. In the semifinals Apple Valley took on No. 3 seed Eastview, which defeated Park of Cottage Grove 2-0 in the quarterfinals, on Thursday (the results were unavailable at press time). The finals are scheduled for Thursday at Burnsville High School.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In the past month, the Apple Valley girls soccer team has played as well as anyone in the state. After starting the season with a 2-4 record, the Eagles went 8-2-2 from Sept. 16 to Oct. 12. That all led to the No. 2 seed in the Section 3AA tournament, which began on Tuesday. “(Getting) the No. 2 seed did feel good,� Apple Valley coach Keith Randa said. “I honestly cannot remember (the last time we had it).� It was a nice relief after last season when Apple Valley defeated both Rosemount and Eastview 3-1 during the regular season, but was seeded below both come playoffs. This year, the only section loss during the regular season was against top-seeded Eagan. “It took us a little bit to step up to the speed that the Wildcats play at,� Randa said. “But after the adjustment we stayed with them.� The month leading up to the playoffs included a five-game winning streak. Randa had an idea that the Eagles could put together a run like this back on Sept. 16 against Bloomington Jefferson, one of the top-five teams in the state. The Eagles won 2-1 and it set off a streak in which the Eagles went 6-0-1. “It was one of the first games that we as a team played up to our potential,� Randa said. During that stretch, the Eagles traveled north to play Duluth East, Rogers is another top-10 team in the state. Ap- Andy ple Valley had a similar result, win- andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Revenue/from 2A outside money is needed to subsidize the local arts groups that now can’t afford paying rent for shows at the center. The Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center group, which has contributed to physical improvements of the $20 million building, reports that it is now putting most of its donations into subsidies for local groups, Jacques said.

“We don’t want to have all commercial events in this facility,� said Mondelli, a former board chair of the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul. “That will defeat the purpose.� Jacques, a bank consultant and former bank executive, said he’s heartened by response to the center in a city-commissioned survey of residents. The survey, which measured attitudes toward a range of quality-of-life issues in Burns-

ville, found 42 percent of respondents rating the center as “good� and 15 percent as “excellent.� Seven percent rated it “fair� and 4 percent “poor.� Forty percent had attended an event at the center. “I think the number we need to work on is the 60 percent that haven’t attended an event at the center,� Jacques said.

Job opportunities abound for seniors At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film “Frost/ Nixon,â€? former President Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, says, “Retired people are the most bored people in the world.â€? While some retirees might scoff at that remark, others no doubt agree there’s an element of truth to it. Perhaps boredom is one reason many seniors continue to work past retirement age. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), 47 percent of male seniors and 34 percent of female seniors were employed in 2007. That those figures were from 2007 is significant, as it indicates this was before the economic downturn of 2008-09, a consequence of which was more seniors returning to the workforce. For many seniors, though, working isn’t simply a means to earn money. In fact, seniors who continued working past the age of 70 earned an average of just $20,000 in 2007. Seniors also tend to work to have something to do. For seniors looking to do just that, there are a host of employment or even volunteer opportunities that can help seniors stay busy and possibly put a little extra money in their pockets. • Local park service. Many local park services hire seniors to help keep the parks clean. These are often seasonal opportunities, making them ideal for seniors who live in different cities depending on the seasons. • Golf course. Golf courses are other seasonal businesses, at least in much of the country, that also boast lots of part-time opportunities for seniors. For example, golf courses need rangers, who ensure all golfers play by the rules and respect the course, and even maintenance staff, who do everything from

These can also pull double duty, providing seniors with daily exercise to help them stay healthy. • Volunteer. Many programs that help indigent citizens get by every day welcome seniors as volunteers. Meal delivery services and other programs that cater to the sick are often in need of a helping hand. • School systems. Local school districts also have volunteer opportunities that can be ideal for seniors. Positions such as crossing guard or even helping out with the local athletic teams don’t require much of a commitment and can be rewarding and fun for seniors. • Consultant work. Seniors who miss the thrill of business

don’t have to give it up completely simply because they’re retired. Many seniors earn a handsome amount of money by working as consultants, using their vast experience to help the next generation. What’s more, consultants often work on their own schedule, an ideal situation for seniors with a passion for business but an equal passion for the positives of retirement. • Library. Libraries might not be as popular as they once were, but many are still going strong, and some even use volunteers and part-time employees to keep their operations running smoothly. Many libraries prefer hiring seniors thanks to their reliability and good attitude.

Senior Spotlight Take advantage of free Medicare diabetes tests Why screen?

When your body doesn’t make enough insulin or prevents the insulin you produce from working properly, this could lead to diabetes. The condition requires that individuals do the work their bodies used to do automatically to maintain the insulin/glucose balance. The risk of type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, increases as you get older, often because people typically exercise

Free screenings Medicare offers free diabetes screening for enrolled adults 65 and older who have at least one risk factor. These factors include family history, high blood pressure, high

With pre-diabetes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. If doctors suspect diabetes in patients with normal fasting blood glucose levels, they may recommend an oral glucose tolerance test, which also

“So we joined forces with Novo Nordisk to share our story. We asked, got screened and now know where our health stands relative to diabetes.� With a history of diabetes in Zorich’s family, the time was right to be screened. “We want to be around for as long as possible for each other, and our family,� said Zorich. “Now that we know I have diabetes, we can manage the disease the right way, by exercising more and eating better.�

Do you have diabetes and not know it? Approximately seven out of 10 adults aged 65 or older have diabetes or pre-diabetes and many don’t know it. Almost half of older Americans with diabetes aren’t aware they have the disease. Fortunately, Medicare has been offering free diabetes screening to those at risk since 2005. But utilization has been low and many seniors remain undiagnosed. In fact, less than 10 percent of those eligible have taken advantage of the tests. That’s why Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis and her husband, actor Louis Zorich, are urging at-risk adults 65 and older to get screened. In partnership with Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care, they are spearheading an educational program known as “Ask. Screen.Know.� The program encourages people enrolled in Medicare to ask their healthcare providers about free diabetes screenings in order to know their blood sugar levels and what actions to take. For Dukakis and her husband, this program hits close to home. Having been married for 47 years, the couple recently got tested and Zorich learned he has type 2 diabetes. “When we learned that less than 10 percent of people with Medicare have taken advantage of the diabetes screening benefit, we knew we had to do something,� said Dukakis.
