Better days ahead for Holiday Inn Burnsville City’s largest hotel under new ownership, is being renovated, and will be renamed under Best Western flag by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The 25-year-old Holiday Inn Burnsville, the city’s largest hotel and only full-service lodging property, is undergoing a major upgrade after years of neglect. Sold to new owners in July, the 144-room hotel will also be renamed under the Best Western flag. It will become the Nicollet Inn on Jan. 1 and the Best Western Nicollet Inn once the new owners gain corporate approval, said Nathan Kremer, the hotel’s sales and marketing director.

Gap in Denmark Avenue now connected Council reverses Road will help relieve congestion around city’s busiest traffic area position on appointing school board members by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Getting from Home Depot to Sam’s Club just got a lot easier with the connection of a significant gap in Denmark Avenue. A vital part of the Eagan’s “ring road� meant to ease congestion around its largest retail area, the new segment of Denmark officially opened Oct. 19. “This will be very, very popular,� said City Administrator Tom Hedges. “It’s going to relieve a lot of traffic at the intersection of Yankee Doodle and Lexington.� The extension connects the 2,300-foot gap that previously existed in the road, which came to an abrupt end next to Home Depot and picked up again near Sam’s Club. A sidewalk was also built along that new stretch of road, providing a walking path between the two retail giants. The connection is courtesy of the U.S. Postal Service, which completed the road as part of its Eagan facility expansion. The USPS moved its St. Paul sorting facility and Minneapolis

A multimillion dollar deal is off between Delta Airlines and a real estate broker.

In September, a Burnsville City Council majority agreed that elected school board members should be allowed to serve on city advisory commissions. The council reversed its position Oct. 19, voting 3-2 to prohibit board members from serving for fear of potential conflicts of interest. Captive in the debate was DeeDee Currier, a council appointee on the city’s Planning Commission who was elected to the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board in 2008, after her first city appointment. Currier chairs both bodies and is

a retired district principal. The council also voted 3-2 against extending Currier’s commission term past next Currier June. In heated debate, council members opposed to appointing school board members insisted it’s not about Currier or her praiseworthy record of service on the Planning Commission. But Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and Council Member Dan Gustafson, who voted against the measures, defended Currier in more personal terms. The debate should have occurred around the time Currier was elected to the board, not now, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. See Currier, 9A

Does Eagan have its very own haunted house? Indeed it does, according to Chad Lewis, paranormal researcher and coauthor of the “Road Guide to Haunted Locations� book series. Lewis said for decades residents of the home were plagued with odd occurrences, from mysterious noises and lights to odd phantom smells that floated through the house. “Finally former renters and owners would get fed up and leave the place, vowing never to return,� he

Lewis will take the audience on a journey of the most haunted places in Minnesota, complete with photos, case history, eyewitness accounts, ghost

lore and directions. Lewis, who claims more than 13 years experience tracking the paranormal, said he will tell participants where they can see a possessed statue come to life, pick up a phantom hitchhiker, encounter a ghost train, and have their car pushed by spirits.

Burger Jones will occupy former Blockbuster space in mall New restaurant concept promises ‘urban burger bar’ with ‘serious cocktails’ and 20 beers on tap by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The second Burger Jones restaurant, billed as an “urban burger bar� with “serious cocktails� and 20 tap beers, is coming to Burnsville. Minnesota restaurant company Parasole Restaurants won City Council approval Oct. 19 to open Burger Jones in the vacated Blockbuster Video space in the Aurora Village Shopping Center. The center is on the southeast corner of county roads 42 and 5. The proposal required a change in the property’s planned unit development to accommodate additional signs and outdoor seating. The council approved the PUD change 4-1, over city staff objections about the number of signs. Opening is expected next

May, said Parasole representative Alan Ackerberg. Parasole expects to employ 50 to 60 people at the restaurant, maybe more during warm weather, said Tracy O’Halloran, Parasole’s development director. The 281-seat restaurant (including 92 patio seats) is a new concept from a company whose homegrown eateries include Manny’s Steakhouse, Salut Bar Americain, Muffuletta and the Uptown Cafeteria. The first Burger Jones opened in Minneapolis near Lake Calhoun in May 2009. It has garnered critical acclaim, according to Parasole. The concept is “light� and “fun,� laced with humor and a “pop culture aesthetic,� the company says. The exterior sign scheme features the “Burger Jones

ďż˝

Man� and additional signs advertising “Beer and Wine� and “Cocktails.� City ordinance allows two signs, one on each building face of the cornertenant space. Parasole’s scheme calls for seven, although the signs would occupy fewer square feet than the maximum allowed by ordinance. It also calls for lettering on awnings. Planning staffers objected to the deviation on the number of signs, saying that Parasole could use window signage instead. The sign scheme “conveys the essence of the brand� and is “critically important to us,� Ackerberg said. “It looks good,� Council Member Dan Kealey said. “I don’t see any reason why we would restrict them on the signage. It’s a great use

of the space.� “I love the concept,� Council Member Mary Sherry said. “I think the energy in your signage is great.� But other mall tenants should also be allowed awning signs if Burger Jones can have them, said Sherry, who convinced the council to make that a condition of approval.

The restaurant will be allowed a patio on its south side, with outdoor music allowed until 11 p.m. during a one-year trial period. The patio is 180 feet from the Chancellor Manor neighborhood. City ordinance requires outdoor music to be turned off at 10 p.m. “Why do we have the ordinance that says 10 o’clock?� said Council

Holiday Inn/from 1A 8 Hotel in Lakeville and turned it into the Holiday Inn Lakeville and Rudy’s Redeye Grill. The Dahlens are also part of Lakeville Management group, which manages the Lakeville and Burnsville properties, said Kremer, a former Holiday Inn Burnsville bartender who married the Dahlens’ youngest daughter, Jessica.

Going after more business travel Kremer said he doesn’t have exact figures on the cost of the Burnsville upgrade, but he said it may approach the $10 million investment in the Holiday Inn Lakeville project. “They didn’t want to spend money,� he said of the Burnsville property’s previous owners, Burnsville Hotel Group. “It seems like it wasn’t a wise investment for them so they were just kind of letting it go.

When we got into the property, they owed exorbitant amounts of money to Frontier (Communications), all these cable companies. The TVs weren’t working. The air conditioning wasn’t working. The locks in the rooms weren’t working. They just kind of let things go.� The room decor looked like it hadn’t been changed since 1985, when the hotel opened, Kremer said. Occupancy is still mired at around 40 percent, an especially weak number when compared with the nearby Hampton Inn in Burnsville and the Holiday Inn Lakeville, which is “almost sold out every night,� Kremer said. The Holiday Inn Burnsville will be reduced from 144 rooms to 132, but a number of executive and “tech� suites will be added to attract business travelers, he said. It’s still the only one of Burnsville’s 10 hotels and motels with “significant

meeting space,� Kremer said. “There’s nothing wrong with our motels,� Gustafson said. “They’re fine. But business travelers are not looking for a motel. They’re looking for a full-service hotel.� Blithe has already done some exterior work on the parking lot and landscaping. Room renovations will include new beds, flatscreen TVs, free wireless Internet, new ceiling molding, new wall vinyl and a microwave oven and refrigerator in every room, Kremer said. The old Dakota County Steakhouse bar and restaurant will also be redone. The old sign has already come down. “It’s going to be a little more of a tavern-pub feel,� Kremer said of the 150-seat space.

Opinion ECM Editorial John Kline has 2nd District’s proven support, and ours We’ll bet there are some voters in these parts who fondly remember the days when their congressman was Jim Ramstad, the famously moderate Republican. Many voters in what today constitutes the 2nd Congressional District were once represented by the likes of Ramstad and Democrats David Minge and Tim Penny — less-than-ideological politicians who strayed from the party line when it suited their independent instincts. Current U.S. Rep. John Kline isn’t one of those. During the 110th Congress, from January 2007 to January 2009, he voted with his Republican Party 94 percent of the time. The American Conservative Union gives him a lifetime rating of 93.3. Kline has also won the irrefutable support of 2nd District voters, beating four Democratic opponents with ease since his first winning campaign in 2002. We ac-

cept their judgement and endorse Kline for re-election to a fifth term in November. When he was first elected, the retired Marine colonel who flew helicopters in Vietnam and carried the nuclear “football” for President Reagan was best known for becoming the only military officer on the House Armed Services Committee. Today, the widely acknowledged congressional expert on military affairs is best known for his controversial stance against congressional earmarks. Kline won’t take ’em — and there are plenty of city and county officials across the district who despair that their congressman won’t seek the extra congressional appropriations for their roads and other projects. Kline’s spirited Democratic opponent this year, Shelley Madore, has made his anti-earmark

position a chief plank of her campaign. So did the 2008 Democratic candidate, Steve Sarvi. That hasn’t deterred Kline, one of only a dozen House members who had sworn off earmarks in 2007. Today, there are at least 40, and House Republicans have declared a caucus moratorium on earmarks. If Republicans take control of the House after November, as some predict, the influence of pioneers such as Kline may truly be measured in whether the once-minority party actually reforms the earmark process. In the event of a Republican takeover, Kline is also poised to become chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, of which he is now ranking member. That means he’ll be a major player in the recasting of President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind law and debate over

education reforms sought by President Obama and Arne Duncan, his secretary of education. Kline’s general disdain for federal intervention in local schools will put him at odds with the administration over some of the proposed reforms. But Kline has lent a sympathetic ear to the many school administrators in his district who despair that the overly rigid No Child Left Behind sets their schools up for failure. Kline has also been a consistent, vocal supporter of full funding for the federal special-education mandate of 1975. Ask any school district going through budget cuts how much full funding of special education would help ease their pain. Madore is a former one-term state legislator from Apple Valley who has been touring the district to find infrastructure projects that she says Kline’s no-earmark

Letters

Horner’s new voice is needed for Minnesota’s new direction

Vote ‘no’ on School District 196 levy

When looking at the three choices that voters have in this year’s governor’s race, Minnesotans are certainly blessed with options. All three candidates have been very forthright in describing what differentiates them from their two opponents. They have also done a tremendous service to the voters by revealing information regarding their proposed budgets. This offering is especially crucial during the difficult economic biennium that will take place in the state over the next two years. But we hope that this practice of divulgence, started by candidates Mark Dayton, Tom Emmer and Tom Horner, will be one that candidates in the years to come will continue. The real winner in all of this is the informed voter and the candidates deserve thanks for making that possible. The budget is certainly the biggest issue that will face Minnesota’s next governor but there are others as well from education and health care funding to gambling. Such sweeping changes require industrious, collaborative thinking. It is our contention that Independence Party candidate Tom Horner best possesses the abilities and the ideas to lead Minnesota through these uncertain times. We support the fact that he says he will build his cabinet with individuals brought in for their expertise rather than because they were owed a political favor. And we agree with him that members of either political party will be more apt to work with him than they would their polar opposite. When it comes to the budget, Horner favors a balanced approach. He supports tax reduction for businesses to allow Minnesota’s companies to invest in research and development, setting up the building blocks for future success. And he favors lowering the sales tax 1 percent but expanding the tax base to include more items such as clothing. We agree with this plan supporting an expert-endorsed stable revenue tax rather than a system that relies increasingly on a regressive property tax with declining property values. The budget is not the only place where Horner is ready to ask tough questions and make difficult decisions. Looking at education, Horner is not satisfied with the simple idea of how much money will be needed to fund education; he wants to know what the money will be used for.

The candidate favors change to our education system, change that would come with abandoning some of the rigidity of No Child Left Behind; additional investment in early childhood education and a tough look at where there are currently too many brick and mortar buildings or too few. Horner also favors bringing Education Minnesota back to the table to work on issues of seniority and retirement in order to protect funding availability and young teachers who are so often the first victims of a budget cut. But Horner isn’t only concerned with changing education, he also looks at gaming and health care with the same critical eye. Horner supports gaming machines and slots at Canterbury Park and Running Aces. “There is a cost to the state for gaming and the state should share in the revenue,” he said. He also supports increased focus on preventative measures to cut health care costs and supports savings and incentive programs to allow Minnesotans to save for their own future health care needs. Under Horner’s plan, an individual would be able to use the money to help pay for their own medical costs or to assist a family member in need. Minnesotans deserve that freedom and flexibility when using their own money. Horner is seeking to become just the second Independence candidate to win the governor’s seat in Minnesota and Jesse Ventura’s historic victory is on his mind, as are the philosophies of his two opponents. Horner argues that he is the only one who isn’t promising a free ride. He argues that Dayton is boasting he will tax the wealthy and everyone else will be protected, and Horner says Rep. Emmer will cut programs for the poor while everyone else will get a free ride. Horner’s plans are down the middle, which is what we would expect from an independent candidate charged with pulling two increasingly polarized parties together in St. Paul. “We all have a stake in this,” Horner said. We couldn’t agree more and Horner presents the best choice to bring Minnesotans together.

To the editor: I read, with great frustration, the District 196 mailer explaining the upcoming levy referendum. The writers seem to think that this is a simple “income” problem. Their view seems to be if we just tax a little bit more and increase our spending per pupil, we can solve the education problem in our district. If this were true, the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul would have the best education outcomes in our state because they each spend thousands more per pupil than other districts. The chart on the last page attempts to point out that the levy would be a small increase per household. This fails to point out the cumulative impact of past levies. If this levy passes, my property tax increase from levies, on a slightly above average home, will be $1,500 per year. That is not a small amount to me or most people in District 196. I say enough is enough. It’s time to look at the other side of the equation, the spending, before we go after more hard-earned dollars of our District 196 homeowners. I urge residents to vote “no” on Nov. 2. KIMBERLY ROELOFS Apple Valley

stance has left begging. She may have a point. But as a new congresswoman, she would also run into the same toxic pool of seniority and influence-swapping that Kline said impeded his ability to secure earmarks when he was still seeking them. Madore has also been pestering Kline to debate. Kline’s deaf ear to her entreaties is probably smart politics when one is nearly assured of re-election against an underfunded opponent still unknown to many voters. But it’s poor constituent service — the kind of thing Kline himself might have railed against back when he was an upstart trying to unthrone then-Democratic incumbent Bill Luther.

asked all the candidates to respond to their position survey. Anderson sent in her views and they were published in the MCCL’s October/November 2010 paper. Masin did not send in a response to the survey. Masin is pro-choice but it would have been nice to know her stand on the other questions asked in the survey. This last session there was an amendment to the GAMC bill, voted on by the Minnesota House of Representatives, which wanted no taxpayerfunded abortions. Masin voted against this amendment. Anderson will do a terrific job as our next state representative. I urge others to join me in voting for Diane Anderson on Nov. 2. LOIS FINAN Burnsville

Myhra creates some excitement

why I am supporting and voting for Pam Myhra for the Minnesota House of Representatives. CLIFF VOLKMANN Burnsville

Repya endorses Democrats To the editor: As a former Republican (twice a National GOP delegate), former Independence Party gubernatorial candidate and now politically unaffiliated voter, I have the ability to shed party requirements and vote for the best candidates for Eagan. I have found that Senate District 38, Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s home district, continues to field unqualified candidates. It has become impossible to support a political party whose leadership has become increasingly mean-spirited and is so quick to attack their own supporters as “RINOs, quislings and traitors” for not toeing the party line. It’s little wonder why SD 38 has become solid DFL. This year I will be voting for state Sen. Jim Carlson and state Rep. Sandra Masin. Carlson, like me, is also a former Republican. As our state senator, he has always been accessible to all his constituents regardless of party and his performance has been a credit to our state. Through his guidance, Eagan has been able to build a memorial to our military, police and fire departments. He also championed the child restraint law and veteran property tax relief. Carlson believes in compromise and civility is a civic duty. He is always willing to reach across the aisle. I recently talked with Carlson’s opponent, Ted Daley, and found him to be an affable individual but a political novice. With the financial problems facing the state, this is no time for onthe-job training. Masin is a long-time civic volunteer and leader in Eagan. A former Eagan City Council member and a two-term state representative for House District 38A, Masin offers experience and stability. Masin’s opponent is Diane Anderson, a weak perennial GOP candidate. Anderson has no elected experience having lost two previous bids for office – for Dakota County commissioner and state representative. Masin’s record of achievements to Eagan/ Burnsville House District 38A over the last four years makes her the logical choice to continue serving.

To the editor: Pam Myhra, a candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 40A, created some excitement at our house because we not only share the same profession, but also because we both started our careers at the same major accounting firm. Even though it was almost a half century ago for me and lasted only five years, I remember everyone at this firm was gifted with common sense, honesty and the ability to think independently. These are all traits we should expect in our elected officials. Myhra’s opponent was door-knocking before the last election when he stopped at our house. I just could not wait to ask him my favorite question: “What were you thinking when you put $10 million in the bonding bill for a regional performing arts center in Burnsville when we already have more theater seats per capita in this region than anyplace in the country except New York City?” I also called his attention to the fact the arts was supported by over a half billion dollars of philanthropy in this region, and I could not understand why our tax dollars should be competing with philanthropy. The response to this question indicated he thought that since the state was going to spend the money anyhow, it might just as well spend it in his district. This wasteful thinking JOE REPYA has got to go, and that is Eagan

Trevis, Walter E., age 94 of Farmington/Rosemount passed away on 10/14/2010 from leukemia complications. Preceded in death by brothers John, William, Robert, Jerome and James Trevis, sister Jean Gephart, and Grandchildren Monica Haugley and Ryan Sauer. Survived by Marie, wife of 64 years; children Robert (Marcia), Gary (Cheryl), Janine (Wayne) Dahmes, James (Chris), Walter (Carolyn), Diane (Jeff) Oesterreich, Edward (Paula), and Marilyn (Mike) Sauer; 12 Grandchildren; 11 Great Grandchildren; and sisters Louise Mueller and Marge (LeRoy) Kehrer. Mass of Christian Burial was 11 a.m. Monday, October 18, 2010 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Rosemount, MN with Father Tom Hill officiating. Walter, or “Charlie� as he was affectionately called, was truly one of the Greatest Generation. Born November 4, 1915 in St. Paul, he grew up in a family of nine during the Great Depression, and lived on various farms in Dakota County. He later served for four years during World War II in North Africa and Italy, and lost a brother to that conflict. He married his brother’s widow upon returning home, and spent the next six decades being a loving, giving husband to Marie. Their incredible marriage has been an inspiration to their eight children, who strive to practice the virtues that their father embodied—love, sacrifice, integrity, honesty, and compassion. Walter was a dairy farmer for almost 30 years. He loved the land and said he felt close to God as he worked its surface and reaped its rewards. A devout Catholic, he was a parishioner of St. Joseph’s Church in Rosemount for most of his life. Upon retirement his family built a house across the road from where he grew up and lived most of his life. He was able to enjoy 30 years of retirement, and spend the time with his children and grandchildren that the demands of the dairy farm had sometimes denied. Walter and Marie traveled in their golden years, and enjoyed trips to Hawaii, the Canadian Rockies and Italy. Walter loved the Twins, valued the long friendships of his neighbors and reveled in seeing the seasons change. Above all, Walter was a family man. He loved his wife and children to his last breath. Some would say that at best, he lived a simple life. Walter would say he simply lived the best life. Memorials preferred to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 13900 Biscayne Ave. W, Rosemount, MN. www.whitefuneralhomes.com Farmington 651-463-7374

“Then it wouldn’t look so personal, because it looks personal and it is perceived (as) personal,� she said. Said Gustafson, “I’m really kind of shocked we’re even having this discussion.� Currier couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday before the newspaper went to press. Council Member Dan Kealey pulled the matter from the Oct. 19 meeting’s consent agenda. Council Member Mary Sherry raised the original objections to appointing school board members at the council’s Sept. 14 work session. “In a city with 62,000 people, I’m concerned with having too much decisionmaking power not spread out among the people,� Sherry said at the time, noting that she had heard from some citizens uncomfortable with Currier’s dual roles. Sherry said the application of a second Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board member, Sandra Sweep, to a commission vacancy further prompted her objections. Sweep applied to the Economic Development Commission but was passed over when the council made appointments in June. City policy already prohibits elected county, state and federal officeholders from serving on commissions. But the policy was silent on school board members. A council majority said Sept. 14 that school board members should be expressly allowed. But Kealey reversed his earlier position on Oct. 19, when the policy change came before the council for formal action. Finding little case law or policy precedent in Minne- John Gessner is at burnsville. sota, Kealey cited a Califor- thisweek@ecm-inc.com. nia law that he said prohibits a person from holding two offices, elected or appointed, that have overlapping or conflicting duties and potential conflicts of interest. Kealey said he’s no longer convinced that the city

Was crowned University of North Dakota’s Homecoming Queen, October 9, 2010 at their homecoming festivities! Sarah is the daughter of Mike & Jan Straley of Lakeville. She is currently a senior, majoring in Air Traffic Controlling at UND, Grand Forks, ND.

and school district are “different in every possible way,� as he said Sept. 14. Kealey said one potential conflict of interest might involve rent the district pays for its arts magnet school at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. A school board member might not have the city’s best interests in mind in a rent negotiation, he said. “If they’re going to serve on two bodies, where is their loyalty really going to fall 100 percent of the time?� Kealey said. Gustafson characterized the debate as driving an effective commissioner from her post based on comments from “anonymous� citizens. “Now you want to change a policy that’s worked for years based on an anonymous call, as far as I’m concerned, because nobody’s talked to me about it,� Gustafson said. Sherry countered that since the Sept. 14 debate, five people have told her they support her position. “This is not about Dr. Currier,� she said. Gustafson angrily called for a review of all “potential� conflicts of interest among members of all the city’s advisory bodies. Kautz contended that the California law addresses decision-making bodies, not bodies like the Planning Commission that merely advise the City Council. Currier will be allowed to finish her current oneyear term. The council made the appointment in June, pending the discussion on appointing school board members. Had the Sept. 14 agreement prevailed, the council was poised to extend Currier’s term by two years.

Becker Furniture/from 1A exuberance through furniture purchases. Another portion of the store features a mattress section with a computer that measures and assesses your body type and sleep style to suggest the best mattress. Keyes said retail is “kind of like theatre. How do you present yourself in an interesting way that makes (the store) feel relevant?� The new Becker store, which employs about 30 people, opened this month at the shopping center

that is also anchored by Petsmart, near I-35E and County Road 42. The site had been a Schneiderman’s furniture store, among other things, but has sat vacant during the better part of the Great Recession. According to city planning documents, Inland Ryan LLC, the owner and operator of Burnsville Crossings, used the arrival of their new tenant as an opportunity to “propose some much needed exterior enhancements to the entire center.� Though the store is now

open, the facade improvements continue. Becker remodeled extensively on the inside of the building, too. Starting in June of this year, Keyes said, contractors gutted the space and folded in several adjacent spaces to create the current 40,000-square-foot offering. A new HVAC system was also installed, Keyes said.

Expansion In July 2009, Becker first entered the Burnsville market with a liquidation center. The intention, Keyes

said, was that if Becker received a good response it would pursue a permanent site. The response was indeed quite good, he said. Often customers would assume it was a Becker Furniture World store instead of a liquidation center. This was a sign that demand existed for expansion. To Skip Nienhaus, Burnsville’s director of economic development, the new Becker store’s benefits are two-fold. “It’s a business opening up and hiring people,�

said Nienhaus, who noted that 29 new businesses have opened in the city so far this year. “Further, they were already existing in Burnsville Center. They are doing well enough to expand and are happy enough with what’s gone on in the city to expand in Burnsville.� The benefit of a south metro site for Becker is quite clear: Give customers the luxury of proximity. “It’s a way of being in front of the customer base,� Keyes said. “We’ve always had people ask us to put in something closer to them.�

Becker enters a crowded Twin Cities market: Schneiderman’s, HOM Furniture, Slumberland and Ashley Furniture are among the most conventional furniture and mattress stores vying for market share. Add to that cross-market and discount retailers such as IKEA, Target, Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam’s Club. “We’re constantly responding to what’s going on by changing,� Keyes said. “It’s definitely not an easy environment to grow your business, so we’ve worked hard at reacting to what’s going on with our customers and employees.� E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. vehling@ecm-inc.com.

Affairs. When it issued its request for proposals in November of last year, the government said it needed space to house Minneapolis VA workers displaced by the $115 million federal stimulus-funded renovation of Fort Snelling’s Whipple Federal Building. However, the VA decided to stay inside the Whipple building during its remodel project instead of moving. “They need be as close as possible to the VA Medical Center (which is near the Whipple Building) so they can work down the back log from vets,� Chicago GSA spokesperson David Wilkinson said. This decision led East Coast REIT to cancel its purchase agreement, Minea said. Although the GSA will have its workers stay put for now, the Whipple building may not have room for its agencies once the renovation is complete, Wilkinson said. With no potential buyer of the former NWA building, the strategy now is to put the property back on the market, Minea said. The 125-acre site was subdivided last month, breaking the property into the headquarters and three separate land parcels, which allows Delta to sell the building and undeveloped land separately. “The land sites will allow local corporations to find land for small corporate sites,� Minea said. The 273,000 square foot multi-story office building was constructed in 1985 and housed about 1,000 Northwest Airlines employees prior to the merger with Delta two years ago. The property has been on the market since June 2009. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc. com.

Denmark Avenue/from 1A The city pushed for the connection, and after a bit of wrangling, the USPS agreed to build the road using federal dollars. If Eagan were to have built the road connection, it could have cost taxpayers a half million dollars, according to the city. Now residents will have easier access between the Eagan Promenade shopping area and Sam’s Club, and emergency vehicles will have faster and more direct access between Northwood Parkway and Clubview Drive, officials said. The new road will also provide traffic relief to other intersections around the Promenade shopping area, Hedges said. The USPS turned over ownership of the road to the city Oct. 19, so the city will now be responsible for maintaining it. Erin Johnson is at eagan. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

enjoy the moment,” Obarski said. “They’ve played in big games, but we’re going to have to play better than we did tonight (against Apple Valley).” The first goal is to get past the quarterfinals. “They found out how much it meant to win that first game,” Obarski said. “Win that and you’re guaranteed to play two games in the Metrodome.” Eagan won’t know who its opponent will be in the quarterfinals until Saturday. Eagan will play in the quarterfinals, which run from Oct. 27-29. The site will be determined after the seeding process. The top four teams are seeded and the rest are placed at random. Obarski felt the team could get the No. 4 seed depending on how the voting went. “The key for us is to get healthy,” Obarski said. “We have so many injuries we feel like the (Green Bay) Packers right now.” Obarski has lightened the practice schedule, giving the team the past three Fridays off. But even against Apple Valley, several Wildcats returned to the bus in a gingerly fashion, wrapped in ice, thanks to new and old injuries.

The Eagan Wildcats’ wild ride will continue in the girls soccer state tournament next week. Eagan qualified for state after beating Apple Valley 1-0 in the Section 3AA finals on Tuesday, improving the team’s record to 16-1-4. Leading scorer Molly Sparks scored the team’s sole goal, but it was all the Wildcats needed. It’s the second year in a row the team has qualified for state and it’s the team’s fifth trip to the state tournament overall. Last year the girls took home the bronze medal. “It’s great for the girls,” coach Mark Obarski said. “This season is all about the kids. Us coaches are just along for the ride.” Eagan has lost just one game this season, which happened nearly two months ago at Woodbury, which is the only other team besides Eden Prairie to beat Eagan in two years. The Wildcats defeated Hastings 5-0 and Rosemount 2-0 to get to the section finals. Other state tournament participants include Lakeville South, Eden Prairie, Stillwater, Mounds View, Wayzata and Duluth Andy Rogers is at East. “I tell them they have to andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Burnsville Blaze offense caught fire on Oct. 15 against their rival Eagan football team. Burnsville put together more than 500 yards of offense en route to a 38-21 victory. It was Burnsville’s third victory of the season, which is the largest win total since 2006. It was a game of big plays for Burnsville. Running back CJ Smith ran for 243 yards and two touch-

conference finish for the Eagles since 2003. “(The team) finished about as well as they possibly could have,” Apple Valley coach Rollie Greeno said. “We had numerous kids run their personal best times.” Eagan ran to seventh and Sidney Spier finished in fourth place. “We lack the capacity to hang with the top teams through the 4,200-meter mark,” Eagan coach Robin Graham said. “Our team must understand that we are making great improvements when we look at where we started and what we are accomplishing now.” Lakeville South won the girls race and Eagan finished in second by 31 points.

Eastview Lightning swim their way to True Team state meet by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For the first time, the Eastview girls swimming and diving team will find out what the True Team State swim meet is all about. The Eastview Lightning finished second at the True Team Section 3AA meet on Oct. 16 behind Prior Lake, but they were given a wild card bid based off how their times compared to other

teams in Class AA. The Lightning will compete in the True Team State meet on Saturday at the University of Minnesota. “The girls are quite excited to go to compete at one of the fastest pools in the country,” coach Mark Tollefson said. “We would like to improve upon our personal best times and place in the top 10 as a team.”

Tollefson didn’t feel like the True Team section meet was truly Eastview’s best effort. “We had some personal bests but also swam a little tired so some kids were a bit off,” Tollefson said. “We hoped to qualify for the True Team meet and I set up the meet to give us the best chance to do so.” The entire lineup can score points for the Light-

ning in a True Team format, which worked in Eastview’s favor. The team’s depth in the relays, diving, 100-yard butterfly, 100 freestyle, the backstroke and breaststroke really jumped out of the water. “Of all of our swimmers I would say Katharine Hamand probably had the best overall meet,” Tollefson said. “She swam in the 200

and 100 freestyles and had personal best times in both and the 200 and 400 free relays. Diver Erica Anders also got some big points coming in third. Kayla Hutsell won the butterfly and the backstroke, and Evelyn Johnson was third in the breaststroke. Several of the Lightning’s No. 2 and No. 3 swimmers finished in the

top 10, as well. Lakeville North was also given a bid coming in third. Lakeville South finished fourth, and Apple Valley, fifth. Rosemount finished third in Section 3AA and Eagan was eighth. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

spend yourself into oblivion. This spending included all types of increases in appropriations and stunning add-ins like $1.2 million in grants for TV and film producers. In contrast to Obermueller and the Democrats stands Doug Wardlow. Wardlow believes that government can and must live within its means. He has said that government spending should be capped at an appropriate percentage of GDP. This is the type of responsibility that we need in St. Paul. Let’s take the checkbook away from Obermueller and the Democrats this November and vote for Doug Wardlow.

To the editor: Another Election Day is just around the corner. The decisions that we make on that day will impact us for years to come. The decisions that we face for our city government are among the most important, because I believe that what our city government does impacts us the most on a day-to-day basis. Council members Charlie Crichton and Dan Kealey are up for re-election and it is critical that we allow these two guys to continue the important work that they have been doing for the city of Burnsville. I have known Crichton and Kealey for many years and I am impressed by the level of intelligence and integrity that they both posses. We are still in challenging financial times and it requires the kind of proven judgment and commitment that Crichton and Kealey have demonstrated again and again. Crichton and Kealey may not always agree with each other. They may not always agree with me. But I know that both of them will use common sense and wisdom in each issue that they face in order to reach the best possible decision. Some people in city government will use the city’s money and influence to drive their own agendas and projects. Crichton and Kealey represent our first line of defense against such misguided efforts. I am asking all residents of Burnsville to show up

billion budget shortfall by doing what they should have done in the first place: trim spending. This concept of trimming spending to live within one’s means is completely lost on Obermueller and the Democrats. We citizens of Minnesota must do this on a daily basis yet we are forced to sit and watch as the Democrats in control of our state coffers refuse to follow suit. They hardly blinked as they sent a deluge of bills that increased spending to our governor. We were then, and still are, in bad economic shape, but that fact has fallen on deaf Democrat ears. Instead of trying to help Minnesotans in a time of need, Obermueller and the Democrats have followed the Obama model: Ignore reality and

Critical to re-elect Crichton, Kealey

To the editor: In a recent letter to the editor, John Curlee said he is disappointed that elected legislators didn’t participate in the Dakota Regional Chamber of Commerce forum. But he knows why, because he was on the endorsement screening committee that endorsed their slate of three Republican challengers before they held a sham “forum.� No other organization does this and still claims to be “non-partisan.� One has to question the validity of claims made by Curlee and the chamber candidates in this made-for-TV promotion. The chamber organized this event in the City Council chambers with cable TV cameras and paid city staff to produce a candidate commercial for their endorsed candidates. Questions were prepared and screened by the president of the chamber, who also made the endorsements. The chamber was advised in advance that such an event may violate campaign finance rules and that elected officials wouldn’t participate, yet nameplates were prepared and displayed to emphasize their absence. Curlee can’t hide his involvement in the ruse and his letter should be viewed in that context. He knows that his elected legislators have never once been asked to visit the DCR Chamber to have a dialog, to develop positions or exchange views. No effort has been made to develop a working relationship with the elected leaders who can support and promote the best interests of the rankand-file Eagan businesses. Instead, this partisan chamber intentionally set

Chamber forum a sham

To the editor: It must be autumn of an election year. Slick, targeted, negative mailings are coming out to us from otherwise anonymous groups like Coalition of Minnesota Business PAC, from whom we hear little outside of an election year, and whose members obviously have plenty of money to pay for pictures on slick color paper and highclass fallacies. One of the latest alleges that state Rep. Sandra Masin voted against a proposal to fund good teachers in a program called Teach for America. What the slick mailing doesn’t mention is that the proposal would prevent local school districts from letting voters decide on funding by voter referendum. Masin supports people’s right to decide. If we want our children to have smaller classes than the 40 students per classroom now common in our area, we should be able to choose that option. Another slick mailing from Republican Party says Masin voted to spend millions on projects in the state bonding bill. This slick piece doesn’t mention the thousands of jobs created by that bonding bill during a time of recession. It doesn’t talk about the high unemployment still holding back our recovery. Masin believes in the value of good-paying work, and re-training opportunities for people to gain that work. She believes in an appropriate role for government in relieving the worst aspects of this recession. Masin doesn’t support the corporate welfare advocated by her opponent and other Republicans. We’ve all had enough of tax cuts for millionaires and trickle-down economics. These folks want us to believe raising taxes for the wealthy means raising taxes for all Minnesotans. They have a vested interest

and vote on Election Day for up a forum after they made Charlie Crichton and Dan their endorsements so that partisan letters can be writKealey on Nov. 2. ten to criticize the elected legislators who made the JERRY WILLENBURG proper and ethical choice Burnsville not to be involved in the sham “forum.�

in that kind of propaganda. Masin believes in investing in programs that work: jobs, retraining, and education. Her work for those causes has won her the respect of Republicans, Democrats and independents. Sandra Masin deserves that respect for a great job, well done.

Autumn leaves us a respect for Masin
