Two incumbents, two newcomers will vie for two council seats Challengers are arts center critics; incumbents voted against center but say city must now make it work by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two City Council incumbents who voted against building the Burnsville Performing Arts Center will be joined in the November election by two newcomers who say their displeasure with the center is a key reason they’re running. Incumbents Charlie Crichton and Dan Kealey will seek re-election to fouryear terms in November. Joining them in the four-way race for two seats

BURNSVILLE are Paul Mudge and Greg Tomlinson. Filing closed June 1. Crichton and Kealey say their goals include a 2011 tax levy with little or

no increase over the 2010 levy, which was held flat through an unprecedented $3.5 million in city budget cuts. They also said the council must try to boost revenue at the financially underperforming arts center. In its first year, 2009, the center required a $533,600 operating subsidy from the city, according to VenuWorks, the Iowa company hired by the city to manage the $20 million venue. The company had predicted a $346,220 subsidy,

and the city budgeted for only $265,475, according to VenuWorks. Tomlinson, 28, criticized Crichton and Kealey for approving more spending to acquire a grand concert piano. Last December, the council voted unanimously for a five-year lease-purchase of the piano at an annual cost of $6,687. The cost is being shared equally with the Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. “That doesn’t fit right See Council, 19A

Burnsville High’s top ELL student makes proclamation in poetry Graduating senior from Somalia will study accounting next year but makes a stir with her words by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

She likes jewelry like any other girl, Burnsville High School senior Shukri Ahmed proclaims in her poem, “Ask Me My Name.� And yes, she confirms, there is hair beneath her ever-present headscarf. Don’t ask me who I am. Ask me my name, for I would love to tell you Because I’m not different from you. Teacher Jean Braun read the poem over the PA as her student walked to the stage during the school’s recent senior awards program.

BURNSVILLE The reaction was electric for the words written by the 18-year-old from Somalia, who was honored as the English language learner department’s top senior. “The applause went on a long, long time,� Braun said. “It was pretty powerful.� Since coming to School District 191 as an eighthgrader, Shukri has fielded classmates’ questions about her clothes, her headscarf, her hair and her five daily prayer sessions.

“I kind of like explaining to the students sometimes,� she said. “But after a while, you get tired of it.� One of three Ahmed children, Shukri was still a young girl when her parents left Somalia for Kenya. Seeking better economic fortunes, they came in 2005 to Burnsville, where Shukri’s sister lives. Shukri credits Metcalf Junior High ELL teacher Joyce Lindstrom with helping her find her way, and she’s a fan of her recent Photo by John Gessner ELL teachers at the high school – Braun and Cynthia English language learner teachers at Burnsville High School named Shukri Ahmed the department’s top senior this year.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist I like coffee shops and polite political discourse by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

I’ve mentioned in this space a time or two that a couple of my favorite lunch spots are Mainstreet Coffee Cafe in downtown Lakeville and Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine in Burnsville’s Heart of the City. These businesses have much in common – independent coffee shops by day and wine bars at night, ownership by women with entrepreneurial passion and salads that meet my criteria for rabbit food with a twist. When I walk into Jo Jo’s, the friendly workers get to work on my cranberry walnut salad with chicken, and at Mainstreet, the staff knows I want the Buffalo chicken salad with cashews. But these places offer me more than good food: They are places where you’re likely to encounter local movers and shakers having civil conversation about civic life.

In other words, you can find something at these establishments that is in short supply these days. A few weeks back, while enjoying my salad at Mainstreet, Dave Thompson stopped by my table to exchange a few thoughts about his upcoming race for state Senate. Thompson, a lawyer and former conservative radio host, said it’s nice he and I can be friends even if we disagree on many things political. Dave, a Republican, said he’s heard nice things about Steve Quist, a Farmington Democrat who will be running against Thompson for the District 36 senate seat. That kind of comment is in stark contrast to the name-calling and conspiracy-theorizing that is passed off as political dialogue these days. Which leads me to our annual attempt at civility known as elec-

tion letters. With the filing deadline last Tuesday and the primary Aug. 10, Managing Editor Tad Johnson is bracing himself for the usual blitz of letters from the supporters of candidates. For years, Tad has attempted to enforce the letters policy that sets a 350-word maximum and a deadline of 4 p.m. Tuesday for the Friday edition. The policy, which appears under the “Opinion” button on ThisweekLive.com, includes other criteria, such as a priority for letters by those who haven’t already submitted letters in support of a candidate. We don’t want the letters columns dominated by the same campaign supporters. Included in the policy is this single line that addresses the issue of civility: “Do not submit letters with libelous information or personal attacks.” In the current political environment, it’s sometimes hard to find commentaries that don’t in-

clude personal attacks. Our policy, by the way, does state that while we must limit the number of letters we print in the paper, we will attempt to publish “all suitable letters online.” In fact, our website is a great place for those coffee-shop conversations between people with different views. We have recently redesigned ThisweekLive.com. Our web editor, Dawn Igoe, has made the site much easier to navigate for readers and contributors. Dawn decided to use software called Wordpress, which was originally designed for blogging – the electronic conversations that are part of the Internet. At the bottom of each article or letter is a box that allows you to “leave a comment.” Since we launched the new website in April, many more readers are leaving comments than was the case on the old ThisweekLive. And, I’m happy to report, our page views are up significant-

ly. The other day, I was watching News Hour on PBS. The nightly news program had a report on a discussion about whether the Internet and cable news have contributed to intelligent discussion of issues or turned the discussion into a paintball fight. One of the experts took the position that any discussion of issues, even nasty uninformed discussion, is contributing to the democratic process. It’s a valid point. But at Thisweek Newspapers, we hope the conversation during the upcoming political season is more suitable to a coffee shop than a bar room. The candidates have all filed. Let the discussion begin.

Letters Study finds Kline’s no earmark stance is good for state

Guest Columnist Abundance of willing, talented citizens is a nice problem to have by Mary Sherry

To the editor: A new Harvard Business School study shows how John Kline’s “no earmark” policy benefits Minnesota. The authors of the study were shocked to find that in the years following a congressman’s ascendancy to the chairmanship of a powerful committee, the average firm in his state cut back capital expenditures by roughly 15 percent, according to their working paper, “Do Powerful Politicians Cause Corporate Downsizing?” The study found that although the average state experiences a 40 to 50 percent increase in earmark spending if its senator becomes chair of one of the top-three congressional committees, the average firm in his state cuts back capital expenditures by about 15 percent in the following year. Employment and sales growth are also affected, as corporations scale back employment growth by 3-15 percent, and sales growth falls by up to 15 percent. In other words, government spending adversely affects private sector economic activity. That’s where jobs come from, as well as tax revenue. Kline has stood firm in his opposition to earmarks, while his political opponents have tried to paint this policy as bad for Minnesotans. This new Harvard Business School study reveals that a “no earmark” policy is good for Minnesota’s economy.

taxing and spending by the state is not the way to accomplish this. The right way is to make jobs available for those who would ultimately spend this money, which would increase the state’s tax base. The way to make jobs available is to stimulate those who are able to give jobs. The simplicity of this issue is revealed with a very simple question. When have the poor, ever given a lifesustaining job to a poor person? Only the “well off ” can do that. That will occur less if you tax those “well-off ” persons out of the employer market. A recent survey indicated that over 60 percent of U.S. jobs are with “small” businesses. Doesn’t it seem folly to tax them to the point where they hire fewer people? It’s time to stop vilifying the “well off.” There are always a few who abuse the system. However, far more of the “well off ” provide jobs, which increases the workforce, which increases state and federal tax bases and reduces spending by making welfare less necessary. Attempts by the government to control and punish the few, are in fact penalizing the many, by directly penalizing the employers, and indirectly penalizing the potentially employable. While liberals love to Bush-bash, it is irrefutable that during the Bush years the average unemployment was 5.1 percent vs. well over 9 percent in 2009, even at one point exceeding 10 percent. Even though Bush made other economic mistakes, this proves that cutting taxes stimulates the economy far more than government programs.

Morgan helped conservation projects advance

Given this backdrop, Morgan was instrumental in shepherding an inspiring package of conservation projects through the legislative process. These projects will truly leave a legacy for all Minnesotans that preserve our lakes, rivers, forests, prairies and wetlands. These natural resources are the foundation of Minnesota’s wealth and quality of life, and investing in them – even in tough economic times – is essential to our way of life. Our sincere thanks to Morgan for his commitment. This is the type of courageous leadership that Minnesotans need in these challenging times and for the brighter days ahead. His constituents can be proud of his work. TOM LANDWEHR The Nature Conservancy assistant state director

Keeping constituents informed To the editor: Last Saturday, I attended another listening session sponsored by Sen. Jim Carlson, DFL-Eagan, at the Wescott Library. I have lost track of the number of sessions this legislator has held in the last four years, but I know is in double digits. As usual, Carlson provided a framework of how the 2010 session drew to a close and provided research and facts to help interested constituents understand how the tough decisions were made. I found it particularly interesting how people with different perspectives were included in the discussion and how informed Carlson was on the major issues facing the state in these trying times. Reps. Mike Obermueller and Sandra Masin and Eagan City Council Member Gary Hansen were in the audience as well and also contributed to the dialogue and information to get high quality answers to a number of concerns. After the meeting Carlson hung around the library for an extra hour, answering questions for the final three people who still wanted to be heard. As a longtime Eagan resident, I am certain we have never experienced greater accessibility and openness from our representation at the capitol. Keep it up, Senator Carlson.

To the editor: On behalf of the 23,000 members of The Nature Conservancy, I would like to personally thank Rep. Will Morgan for his leadership in the 2010 legislative session. This was a very tough budget year, and the new Legacy funds were the only bright spot in an otherwise bleak financial situation. It was a huge challenge to ensure those funds were appropriated in a manner that would keep faith with Minnesota voters that overwhelmingly approved the KEN ISCHE Eagan measure in 2008.

Local governments increase amount spent on lobbying

County listed among top 10 for funding allocated to Capitol efforts by Laura Adelmann

DAKOTA COUNTY

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In 2009, local governments continued a threeyear upward trend of spending on lobbyists. According to reports filed with the Minnesota state auditor, local governments spent $8.8 million on lobbying activities in 2009, an increase of $329,592, or 3.9 percent, over the amount spent on lobbying services in 2008. Dakota County, either as the county or its Regional Rail Authority, reported spending $190,666 on lobbying. The amount includes contracted lobbyists, staff who lobby, and association dues payments, a portion of which are paid to lobbyists on the county’s behalf. According to the report, Dakota County was one of the 78 governments that paid over $100,000 to hire

fessional associations that lobby on behalf of specific professional occupations within local governments, including Education Minnesota. The report states that the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District spent $28,540 on lobbying, while ISD 191, Burnsville-EaganSavage, spent $14,282. Farmington and Lakeville school districts each reported less than $5,000 on lobbying. In the report, State Auditor Rebecca Otto noted the operation and funding of local governments can be greatly affected by decisions made by the state Legislature, and called it understandable that local governments would want representation during the legislative process.

Obituaries

Charles A. Ziemer After a courageous battle with lung cancer Charles “Charlie� A. Ziemer passed away on May 25, 2010, surrounded by family. Charlie’s enthusiasm for life inspired those around him, and was endeared by all who knew him. Charlie was born on March 4, 1931 in Winona, Minnesota. On June 28, 1948, he married Inez M. Beach in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The couple made their home in Dakota, Minnesota until moving to Goodview, Minnesota in 1964. In 1967, due to transfer of work territory they relocated to Sioux City, Iowa until 1975, at which time they returned to Minnesota, first living in Eagan, and later building a new home in Rosemount and remained there until they retired in 1998. Since 1998, they have split their time between their summer home in Rochester, Minnesota and their winter home in Phoenix, Arizona. Charlie started working for the Milwaukee Railroad on February 14, 1949, and continued to work on the railroad for the next 44 years. In his years on the railroad, he had worked the entire western rail system between Chicago, IL and Tacoma, WA, first as a laborer for the maintenance way then as the foreman for the department beginning in 1955. His welding career with the railroad span many miles of rail for the Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, and the Canadian Pacific railways. After retiring from the railroad, he worked summers for Kaufman Lawn and Tree Service of Rosemount, welding and maintaining all of the equipment until the fall of l998 when he and his wife sold their home in Rosemount and headed south for the winters. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed country music, anything to do with railroads, and camping. He is going to be missed by all who know and loved him. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and friend. We all loved him. He will be deeply missed by his wife of nearly 62 years, Inez; five children, Patricia Ziemer (John Johnson) of Rochester, Minnesota, Raymond Ziemer of La Crosse, Wisconsin, Cheryl (James) Knutson of Mazeppa, Minnesota, Robert Ziemer of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, and Bradley “Buck� Ziemer (special friend Deborah Burns) of Surprise, Arizona; five grandchildren, Amy (Cory) Packman, J e s s i c a ( M a n u e l ) Knutson-Deleon, Sara Knutson, Shannon Ziemer, and Charles G. Ziemer; step-grandchild, Tami (Matt) Soens; great grandchild, Cameron Deleon; step great grandchildren, Isabella Soens, and Greta Soens. Two half-sisters, Irene Thompson of LaCrescent, Minnesota, and Anita Calhoun of Winona, Minnesota. He was preceded in death by his mother, Florence, and step-father, Emil Roemer. There will be a memorial service on Sunday, June 6, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. at the Riverside United Methodist Church in Dakota, Minnesota with Pastor Mary Keen officiating. Friends and family may visit one hour prior to the service on Sunday at the church. A family service for interment of his ashes at the Hiler Cemetery, Nodine, Minnesota will be at a later date.

Adults can enjoy displays from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Pollution Control Agency and the National Audubon Society. Bill Isle will provide music, and food will be available for purchase from Kowalski’s Market and ice cream from Hometown Creamery. In honor of Eagan’s 150th anniversary, a celebration memento will be given out to the first 150 attendees, who are encouraged to bring canned goods to donate to the city’s food drive. The event will mark the 20th anniversary of the city’s comprehensive water quality program, the first of its kind in the state when it was adopted in 1990. Eagan residents have made it clear that they value their lakes: According to city surveys, more than 95 percent say lake water qual-

ity is important to them, and 72 percent say quality lakes are very important. City officials have paid attention, creating a storm water control plan that won an award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1996, and adopting a state-of-the-art water quality and wetland management plan in 2007. Koehle said the city is very proactive about the health of its lakes. “Not a lot of cities have their own water resources programs,� she said. “Part of our job is to keep the lakes as clean as possible. We are paying really close attention to them.� The city is hoping the event will help make people more aware of the many fishing opportunities provided by Eagan’s lakes. Since 2008, as part of the its Neighborhood Fishing Program, Eagan has provided public access to recreational fishing opportunities within one mile of every resident’s home. Fish that can be found in Eagan’s lakes include largemouth bass, sunfish, crappies, catfish, and northern pike. In addition, Carlson Lake is stocked with walleye, and Holland Lake is stocked with trout. Eagan resident Bill Kidder said people under-appreciate how good Eagan lakes are for fishing today. Kidder, who used to go up north to fish for walleye, said he discovered Eagan lakes within the last seven years. Since then, he’s caught a 36-inch northern pike, an 18-inch largemouth bass, several walleye, crappies and pan fish, and even a 52-pound channel catfish in Eagan lakes. “Lakes in Eagan are great, and there are good opportunities to teach little guys and gals how to fish,� he said. For more information on LakeFest 2010, call the Eagan Parks and Recreation Department at (651) 675-5500.

The project produced a literary journal in which the poem was published. The journal includes another Shukri Ahmed contribution – an essay about her uncle, who was involved in Somalia’s warring politics and shot dead at 36. “I have that book. I don’t ever open that page at all,� Shukri said. The writer reports being pretty good at math, too. Shukri will attend Dakota County Technical College next fall to study accounting. “Even though I write poems, I do not honestly think I could write a good poem to be published,� she said. “It’s kind of hard because it’s not my native language. Accounting and math do not belong to any language.�

The admiration is reciprocated for a student who knew a little English when she arrived here, became a skilled writer in her new language and will graduate on June 11. “She’s always eager to learn new things,� said Braun, who taught Shukri this year. “She asks penetrating questions, and I think she’s got a certain strength about her.� “She has an air about her that sets her apart, I think, from other students,� said Anderson, who taught Shukri last year. “She’s strong, but she’s not a bully. She’s classy.� The best way to learn English, Shukri found, is to dive right in. “Some ESL kids kind of feel shy about saying what is in their mind,� said Shukri, who spoke Somali as a child and learned Swahili while living in Kenya. “I’ll just say whatever so I can move on to the next level.� Erin Johnson is at eagan.

Thisweekend School honors its ‘Legacy’

Photo by Rick Orndorf

Some Rosemount High School students who performed in this year’s OnStage production will be part of the school’s first Performing Arts Legacy Gala on Friday, June 18.

Rosemount High School to stage show with past, present, future students by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Legacy. We all leave one. A legacy can shine bright like the glow of a spotlight on an otherwise dark stage. The spotlights will shine on many of Rosemount High S c h o o l ’s past, present and future stars in the arts when Steve tribute is Boehlke paid to the school’s legacy with a special performance Friday, June 18. The first Rosemount High School Performing Arts Legacy Gala will feature a night of song, dance acting and the honoring of the first Legacy Award. Steve Boehlke, longtime Rosemount High School choir teacher, was selected as the Performing Arts Hall of Fame award’s first recipient. Before the tribute is offered to Boehlke, Rosemount High School students past, present and future will offer a range of performances from instrumental music to acting. The 90-minute show will include pieces from thirdthrough eighth-grade students participating in the week-long Vocalmotion music camp and music and theatrical selections from those who have long since graduated. Proceeds from the show

IN BRIEF The Rosemount High School Performing Arts Legacy Gala will be at 7 p.m. Friday, June 18 in the school’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 and went on sale to the general public Thursday, June 3, through the RHS school web site at www.district196.org/ rhs/theaterarts, or by calling the box office at (651) 423–7540. See next week’s edition for a story about Steve Boehlke. An interview with Boehlke and Steve Albaugh can be seen in the Video Archive at www.ThisweekLive.com. will go to the school’s recently-established Performing Arts Foundation, which aims to raise money to purchase items, such as its initial goal for an auditorium soundboard. “At RHS we have an incredible amount of pride in our past,� said Steve Albaugh, choir director. “Many other high schools in the area have established athletic halls of fame. We thought what a neat way to make a statement about how important the arts are at the school and in the community in establishing this.� Albaugh, one of the many organizers of the show, said a major challenge

The Builders Association of the Twin Cities has contracted with Keystone Report, a local research firm, to maintain a database with information about new residential construction permits around the metropolitan area. After a builder has picked up the permit from a city, Keystone Report compiles and updates weekly residential housing permits by city for 70 percent of the metropolitan-area municipalities in the greater 13-county region. Planned units are the total number of housing units planned to be built under the permits issued (one permits is issued per building which may include more than one housing unit). Permit value does not include the land/lot costs.

May continued the recent positive trend for residential permit statistics. May’s permits, units and value showed strong gains over May of 2009, while year-to-date figures also were substantially higher than a year ago. According to statistics compiled by the Keystone Report for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, there were 324 permits pulled for a total of 482 units during the month of May, 2010.

Year-to-date, permits rose by 182 percent, units by 166 percent, and value by 162 percent . One 77-unit project in Minneapolis helped boost multi-family homes up to 38 percent of the total units. “Indicators look very promising,� said Builders Association of the Twin Cities 2010 President Gary Aulik. “Mortgage interest rates have dropped to near alltime lows, and the Minneapolis Realtors Association has reported rising home sales

prices for several months. “These factors, coupled with a dropping unemployment rate will hopefully offset the expected drop in sales due to ending of the federal stimulus tax credits.� Aulik said. Minneapolis led the metro in building activity for the month with 82 units permitted. Blaine followed with 33 units, Maple Grove had 30 units permitted, followed by Shakopee with 29 and Hudson, Wis., with 27.

Twin Cities residential construction continues in positive territory

Top singles players switch to doubles Burnsville’s Wilkins and Smith-Dennis; Apple Valley’s Bettes and MacGibbon combine by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two of the top singles tennis players in the state decided to bring a friend along for playoffs this year. For the individual tournament Apple Valley’s Joey MacGibbon and Burnsville’s Mya Smith-Dennis decided to combine forces to play doubles with a teammate. Apple Valley’s two-time state participant in the singles category MacGibbon has joined up with junior Matt Bettes to play doubles. “Right now it’s win or go home,” MacGibbon said. “There’s no other year. I’m using all my intensity. “My biggest goal is to take home a state championship.” His longtime rival, Smith-Dennis, has switched to doubles as well

TENNIS with teammate Nazhone Wilkins. MacGibbon went to state for singles the past two seasons, but lost in the early rounds. In doubles he figures they have a better chance to really do some damage. “I thought I could make a run at a title this year,” he said. “It’s more about getting further than just getting there.” In doubles, the points are quicker, but players need to stay focused because they’re not always hitting the ball. “The pace is quicker and the strategy is different,” Smith-Dennis said. Smith-Dennis has also been to state as a singles player, in 2008 and 2009. “I felt like playing doubles would give me the best

chance at getting a state title and it would be a lot less stressful,” he said. In singles, it’s all on you if you’re at fault. In doubles there’s someone else to blame. “You’ve got to stay positive with your partner whether it goes good or bad,” MacGibbon said. “It’s not just one person who determines the outcome of the match.” MacGibbon, Bettes, Wilkins and Smith-Dennis have played doubles before, so this isn’t a big transition. And it helps that they all get along. “It’s really fun playing with Nazhone,” SmithDennis said. “He’s one of my best friends. I’ve known him since we were little. “He’s very consistent. He knows when to attack and he plays great defense, too.”

As a junior, Bettes is in his third year on varsity. He’s played No. 2 singles every year. “He’s got some oomph behind him,” MacGibbon said. MacGibbon and SmithDennis have been rivals on the court for several years. They were both aware of each other’s intentions of playing doubles for the playoffs. “We talked about it,” MacGibbon said. It didn’t come down to one or the other. Although they both play in Section 3AA, the top two doubles teams qualify for state. Playing doubles gives them a chance for all four to go to state. If they stuck to singles, at best only two would qualify. If they both qualify for state (the section finals

were on Wednesday after Thisweek Newspapers went to press), they won’t see each other again right away at state. They will go to opposite sides of the bracket and wouldn’t see each other until late. The state tournament is scheduled for June 8-11 at Baseline Tennis Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. MacGibbon and Bettes saw their team’s season end on a tough note. The Eagles made it to the Section 3AA finals only to lose to Eagan. “It wasn’t really that close,” MacGibbon said. “They’re honestly just too good. They’re a top three team and we’re around six. They just have too much power.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Lightning advances to section final four Eastview previals in extra innings to defeat Apple Valley, 8-7 by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It took an extra inning, but the Eastview baseball team prevailed. The Lightning defeated Apple Valley 8-7 in the Section 3AAA quarterfinals Tuesday in eight innings. Eastview advanced to play in the double-elimination Section 3AAA final four. Apple Valley led 7-4 in the bottom of the fifth. Eastview rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. Cody Groskruetz hit the game-tying RBI with two outs and two strikes. He plated Mike Radermacher to send the game into extra innings. “Seems like it’s always this way between Eastview and Apple Valley,” Lightning coach Tom Strey said, “a lot of one-run games.” Adam Moorse earned the win, pitching 2.7 shutout innings at the end of the game. “Apple Valley had been

BASEBALL hitting well at the time, and he shut them down,” Strey said. The other section games were delayed because of rain Tuesday. The final four bracket will be reseeded and played at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Friday at Alimagnet Field in Burnsville. Action will pick up again Saturday for a game at noon, 2:30 and 5 p.m. The final is scheduled at 7 p.m. Tuesday. “Our section is really tough,” Strey said. “Probably four of the top eight teams rated in the state are in there. “We feel good just to be in the final four, especially after being down so bad against Apple Valley.” Apple Valley finished the season with a 12-10 record.

Wildcats reach new heights by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan High School girls track and field team had plenty to cheer about after the Lake Conference Championships on May 27 in Rosemount. Eagan finished sixth behind Apple Valley, but ahead of Eden Prairie in the final team standings. “Team 2010 did the best they could against the state’s finest competitors,” coach Robin Graham said. “We’re using this meet as a Lake Conference Championship May 25 and 27 at Rosemount Girls: 1.

The 4x200-meter relay team of Courtney Vallarelli, Molly Sparks, Alexis Dickens and Emerald Egwim finished second. Their time was the second fastest in school history. Elise Raney finished third in the high jump and the 100-meter dash.

Vallarelli, Heather Goff, Dickens and Jessica Rupp helped the 4x400 relay take third. “This meet, without a doubt, was an endurance test,” Graham said. “We really reached higher to set goals and, more importantly, attacked the process of achieving those goals.”

Eagan dominates singles bracket Justin Abrams and Brady Radamacher met in the Section 3AA final by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Eagan took charge of the singles bracket in Section 3AA. Justin Abrams and Brady Radamacher made it to the section finals on Wednesday. It’s no surprise that Abrams cruised through the first few rounds in Section 3AA. He’s the top singles player in the section and some of his main competition switched to doubles in the section tourney. What is a bit of a surprise is his teammate Radamacher meeting him in the finals. He defeated the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds in the tournament to make it to the finals. In doubles action Logan Peterson and Anthony Lutovsky advanced to the section semifinals with a doubles win over the No. 3-seeded Woodbury team. As a team, Eagan advanced to the state tournament for the third year in a row. The singles players for Eagan played their best combined match of the year to sweep the four singles players from Apple Valley for a 5-2 win in the team section finals on May 25. “Eagan has a good chance to finish in the top three at state,” coach Scott Nichols said. Eagan will play on June 8 in the Class AA quarterfinals against the 7AA winner at the Baseline Center at the University of Minnesota. Andy Rogers is andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

with me,� Tomlinson said of the city contribution. Kealey countered that the piano is a sound investment that will increase bookings. A one-term incumbent, Kealey also voted last year to spend $237,000 on an orchestra shell and other arts center upgrades. Crichton voted against that measure. “It’s built,� Kealey said of the center, “and there’s nothing we can do about that. However, I don’t believe the thing to do now is to torpedo it. The more we try and torpedo it, the more cost we put on taxpayers. The only logical and common-sensical thing to do is to do whatever possible to make it the most successful it can be to reduce the burden on taxpayers.� Crichton said his goal is to make the center self-sufficient, free of city subsidy. “The people who run it (VenuWorks) say it’s not possible,� said Crichton, 82. “But maybe then we need new people to run it.� First elected in 1992 and re-elected four times, the council’s perennial taxand-spending hawk said he decided to run only days before the filing deadline.

Flags/from 1A $3,000 matching grant from Rotary International District 5950. Rotarians will also install the lightpole flags, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 5. The total fundraising goal of $25,000 has been met, said Burnsville Community Foundation President Alan Spillers. VanderLaan said he and three others who share membership on the BA 191 and foundation boards developed the flag projects. The others are Spillers, Ed Delmoro and Ken Slipka. “We share a lot of patriotic feelings, particularly the four of us, and I know others as well are fairly patriotic,� VanderLaan said.

left him without a voice for several weeks in the middle of last year was fixed with collagen injections, he said. After the city’s deep budget cuts, Crichton said he wants to make sure core services in public works, police and fire haven’t suffered. “You don’t just raise taxes to get money,� said Crichton, of 2104 Manor Drive. “But there are certain things we have to do in the city that are necessary, and I want to get those done.� Kealey, 52, said he’s been a “good manager of other people’s money� and was influential in a unanimous council vote to hold total tax collections flat in 2010. “I definitely think I had a positive influence on other council members to realize the gravity of the recession and that the thing to do was to hold the line at a zero tax rate change and show the citizens of Burnsville that we really do recognize the value of a dollar,� said Kealey, of 320 E. 152nd St., who called for a larger portion of city spending on roads. Mudge, 38, said the arts center is a “money loser. And it’s costing the taxpayers more money than needs to be put into any kind of public utility like that. It’s ridiculous.� Mudge, who lives at Vis-

ta View Apartments at 1575 Highway 13, suggests looking for private investors to take the center off the city’s hands. Mudge said he’s working on a criminal-justice degree at Rasmussen Business College. Tomlinson, who lives at The Woods of Burnsville Apartments at 14745 Portland Ave., said the arts center shows that changes are needed at City Hall. “I’m not a big fan of recklessly spending money on projects,� said Tomlinson, who is studying information technology and elementary education online through the University of Phoenix. “I think the taxpayer money should go to fund things that are helpful, like education, safety or roads.� He said he’d like a smoking-cessation program in Burnsville and city efforts to help students succeed in school. “Definitely, I’d like to see County Road 42 (expanded to) three lanes all the way to Apple Valley,� Tomlinson said. “I used to drive that every day to work, and it’s just a pain with only two lanes and 40 miles an hour.�

The Nicollet Commons flagpoles will fly the U.S., Minnesota and Burnsville flags. The lightpole flags will replace flower baskets the city used to hang. That’s being discontinued because of budget cuts. BA 191 budgeted $9,200 for the 200 flags, VanderLaan said. “BA 191 originally was a concept that evolved from its sponsorship of American Legion baseball,� he said. “I thought it was a natural evolution.� The lightpole flags will fly throughout the summer and fall. They’ll be replaced by the decorative snowflakes hung by the foundation as part of its annual winter lighting project.

The Walk of Honor is a foundation fundraiser through which families can buy pavers with inscriptions honoring soldiers and veterans, living or deceased. The walk runs along the north side of Nicollet Commons Park. The idea of a permanent tribute to soldiers and veterans in Burnsville has been promoted by Spillers, a volunteer with the Minnesota World War II Roundtable and with the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. “It’s easy to forget,� Spillers said. “It’s easy to not teach history in a living, active way.�
