Two Eagan residents vie for DFL endorsement in 38A Sandra Masin and Gary Hansen fight for Anderson’s seat by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two familiar faces put their names in the hat this week for what is currently the District 38A seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Former state representative Sandra Masin and Eagan City Council Member Gary Hansen will likely face off this year for the district’s DFL endorsement. Masin, 68, represented District 38A for four years but was defeated by Diane Anderson, a Republican, in 2010. During her time in the Legislature, the Eagan resident focused much of her attention on mass transit and infrastructure. “I think I did a good job trying to get Minnesota on track,� she said.

Masin said the state shutdown inspired her to try to regain her seat. “We have known for some time now that Minnesota has been in jeopardy of losing its (top credit) rating,� she said. “The problem is the accounting, like the education shift.� Masin, who was first elected in 2006, cited her accomplishments in the Legislature, including sponsoring a bill that created the Ultra High-Speed Broadband Task Force.

She also carried a bill to bring back strategic and long range planning so policy is based on long-term goals. She said she hopes to continue that work, as well as ensuring that decent government works for all residents, not just the wealthiest. “I think there’s nothing more important to the future of our state than ensuring an educational system of excellence,� she said. Masin said her previous experience in the House and local commissions makes her the stronger candidate. Hansen, 59, believes he is the one to do the job. He, too, is frustrated by the state shutdown, which he said was simply caused by a lack of compromise. Hansen blames much of this on See Seat, 14A

Burnsville residents John Pleschourt and Bryan Prettyman plan to open the pub and grill in late October. Both men have worked in the hospitality industry for more than two decades.

American pub to replace Chateau Lamothe Ernie’s Pub and Grill to open late October by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Nearly a year after Chateau Lamothe closed in Burnsville, two local entrepreneurs are hoping to breathe new life into the former French American restaurant by turning it into a pub and grill. “This is a neighborhood with a casual atmosphere, so we feel it will fit right in,� said John Pleschourt co-owner of Ernie’s Pub and Grill. The casual dining restaurant named after Pleschourt’s father is set to open in late October. Pleschourt and his partner, Bryan Prettyman, looked across the nation for a site but settled on the former Chateau building for its visibility from busy roads. The site is on Nicollet Court near County Road 42 and the point where I35E and I-35W meet. The restaurant is also close to Pleschourt and Prettyman’s homes in Burnsville. The two men met in the hospitality industry years ago and became fast friends. As a young man, Pleschourt, 43, set his sights on teaching history, but fell in love with the hos-

Hospitality was a calling for Prettyman from the start. He earned an associates degree in business and went on to manage hotels and resorts across the nation for more than 20 years. The 45-year-old began his career at Trump Towers in Atlantic City where he once literally bumped right into Donald Trump. “He was nice about it but his handlers started rushing toward me,� Prettyman said with a laugh. The two Burnsville men financed the restaurant using savings and retirement funds alone. “We felt self financing put more pressure on us to make it work,� Pleschourt said. See Ernie’s Pub, 6A

City envisions Lockheed as retail Council approves comprehensive guide changes by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan City Council has agreed to change its vision for the Lockheed Martin property, moving plans for a potential retail space one step closer. On Oct. 4, the council unanimously passed an amendment to its comprehensive guide plan, which will go to the Metropolitan Council for review. The city’s comprehensive guide currently designates the property as major office. “(But) filling a 623,000 square-foot office building that was built 40 years ago for a specific use could be very difficult,� said City Administrator Tom Hedges in previous interviews. A Minneapolis-based developer is hoping to turn a huge chunk of the Lockheed Martin building in Eagan into retail space. CSM Equities LLC, an affiliate of CSM Corporation, asked city officials to amend its comprehensive guide plan to redesignate 41.2 acres of the 51-acre site as retail commercial. The plans also call for several free-standing restaurants and would keep the remaining 6.2 acres as office space.

“We are very excited about this project,� said Tom Palmquist, vice president of commercial development for CSM. “This is a great piece of property in a great community.� The site is at a prime location — the intersection of Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle roads, which is Eagan’s busiest intersection, and is near its major retail centers, Promenade and Town Centre. Before making any final decisions, though, city officials say they want to ensure another retail complex would complement others in the area. The project — which CSM calls Central Park Commons — would do just that, Palmquist said. The developer purchased the property in April and closed on the sale in June, but Lockheed Martin will continue to occupy the space under a lease agreement until it officially closes in the spring of 2013. CSM plans to not only be the developer of the site, but also the long-term owner, Palmquist said. The development would be approximately the size of Promande, but council members said they hope it looks nothing like the exist-

ing strip mall. Several council members and Mayor Mike Maguire said they would like to see a retail development that is walkable, allows for mass transit and has green space and gathers places. Maguire said he believes any new retail development must include what he calls a marquee destination — something that will attract people to the area such as a major outdoor gear retailer. “We need an anchor that is unique in this area,� he said. CSM’s redevelopment plans are still in its infancy. The city’s green light pertains only to its guide plan. Detailed plans of a proposed project would still need council approval prior to any redevelopment. The Lockheed Martin property is presently zoned as research and development, so that too would need to be changed before a development could move forward, Hedges said. In addition to approving changes to the guide plan, the council approved a proposal to seek a third party to conduct a market research study of the Lockheed area.

New chief named at Burnsville arts center THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Burnsville Performing Arts Center’s new executive director brings a background managing big venues that are known for booking big-name performers. Brian Luther, who was named to the arts center’s top post on Monday, recently served as general manager at the 10,000-seat MetroCentre in Rockford, Ill. He’s also worked as an event manager with Minnesota Sports and Entertainment, which operates the Xcel Energy Center and Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Luther replaces Jon Elbaum, who resigned in August to become executive director of the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, N.Y. VenuWorks, the PAC’s management company, put Regional Vice President Tammy Koolbeck in charge during the nationwide search for Elbaum’s permanent replacement. Luther assumes the top position at the city-run arts center under less precarious circumstances than his predecessor. Opened in January 2009, the $20 million center, whose construction many residents opposed, was still a lightning rod for controversy when Elbaum arrived in March 2010 to replace the first executive director, Wolf Larson. With pre-construction projections of annual losses of up to $350,000, Burnsville’s PAC disappointed in its first year, requiring an operating subsidy of

Opinion Thisweek Columnist The good, dull old days in Lakeville are over Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

No one has ever accused me of being Mr. Excitement. And that might be why Lakeville grew on me when I moved there in 1999. When I walk into Mainstreet Coffee Cafe for lunch, Tracy Hummelgard’s employees ring up my order without asking because they know I get the same salad every day. When I started watching the Lakeville City Council meetings on local cable (something you exciting people probably don’t do), I found the dull predictability that made me feel right at home. However, things have changed in Lakeville, and the City Council meetings there are beginning to rival those in Burnsville and Farmington for liveliness. As we have been reporting since the last election, the Lakeville council tends to split between two holdovers from the good, dull old

days plus a young newcomer on one side and, on the other side, the new mayor, Mark Bellows, and another newcomer, Colleen Ratzlaff LaBeau. The most recent controversy was provoked by a 3-2 vote to renovate the old downtown police station into a home for the Senior Center, the Historical Society and Lakeville’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon organization. That plan involves selling the old Senior Center, which has outgrown its current building because the director, Linda Walter, has turned it into one of the most successful gathering spots for seniors in the metro area. In the course of debating the Senior Center move, Bellows implied Walter had lied to him – a comment that led to a threat by Walter to sue for defamation. At Monday’s council meeting, a statement was issued that says the mayor didn’t really mean to say Walter had lied

to him but that his comment was about a perception in the community that Bellows is opposed to the new senior center. This is pretty wild stuff in a community known for quiet, efficient governance. Down the road in Farmington, both the City Council and the School Board spent a couple years fighting over a number of issues, including their relationship with the city administrator and the school superintendent. Both have resigned, and newly-elected folks in Farmington seem to be working better with the new chief administrators. Even Burnsville has settled down after years of 3-2 votes having to do with building a new downtown, called Heart of the City, and then deciding to spend $20 million on a Performing Arts Center. The city of Eagan has had its exciting times, especially when Pat Awada (now Anderson) was mayor. The council meetings then were

marked by threats about lawsuits and restraining orders. One of the major controversies was a proposal Anderson endorsed to move an orphanage to Eagan. The current mayor, Mike Maguire, and longtime City Administrator Tom Hedges tend to manage Eagan with unexciting predictability. Over in Apple Valley, Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland keeps things lively with her enthusiasm and Italian passion for people and her city. But the council members tend to get along and produce few headlines. The environment in Rosemount is similarly calm. So it’s Lakeville’s turn to attract attention for lively public discourse. What could be more fun for controversy-lovers than a battle between a mayor who runs a church for recovering addicts and a senior citizen who has become a hero to fellow seniors who flock to her oldfolks hangout? What makes the Lakeville

Letters Stop shipping jobs overseas To the editor: “Outsourcing� is a word that rolls nicely off the tongue. It sounds like a technical solution that saves money for hard-strapped small businesses in tough times. In a recent letter, a woman who manages the office of local U.S. Rep. John Kline, heralded the success of a jobs fair in the name of the representative. She ignored the support the representative gives to leaders in his party who refuse to repeal the subsidies busi-

It’s good to support small businesses and the infrastructure they need to succeed, and subsidies for outsourcing are something else again. Not only have these tax breaks reduced the job market, they have decimated the U.S. manufacturing industry. Job conditions for employees at these overseas facilities are primitive, often causing employees to face unnecessary risks to make their products cheaper. Under the World Trade Organi-

zation, enforcement of trade laws in our country has been weakened to give an advantage to these companies who have moved overseas to make their products. A solution to increasing health care costs would help American businesses hire more employees, and the representative has adamantly refused to work with Democrats on that question. He publicly condemns government programs to help people who need health insurance, while he readily accepts government health insurance for himself. We need more than a job fair; we need to reward com-

drama even more dramatic is the arch-rival of Bellows is Matt Little, a 20-something newcomer to the council who has rallied the senior population in support of the new center. And what is perhaps the most surprising aspect of this situation is that Bellows isn’t a newcomer to the council. He defeated incumbent Holly Dahl for mayor after spending years as a soft-spoken member of a soft-speaking council. Assuming Bellows runs for re-election next year, he’ll have some work to do with the followers of Linda Walter – those Baby Boomers and older who, unlike the young, tend to vote. It’s way too much excitement for my taste.

panies that create good jobs here in the U.S.A. Small business owners in the south metro area want more from the government than a “race to the bottom� in wages and job conditions. Minnesotans are bright; we used to have the best education system right here. For the success of businesses, we need to get back to building that. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

‘Greatest Generation’ To the editor: This letter is in response to the Sept. 23 column by Mary Ajax, “Life may not be fair but we can do things to level the field.� Many articles have been written on the subject of children and young adults reaching their highest goals. I not only went to school in District 197 but I also taught a highly successful adult class there. Since our parents were victims of the Great Depression I would like to make a comparison. They didn’t belong to the PTA but their sons and daughters became college graduates by earning their way and served their country in outstanding service in World War II. Post-World War II, they became outstanding civilians, lawyers, doctors, dentists, commercial pilots, CPAs, criminologists, tremendous business people and one became a world-recognized legend whose limits will probably never be tested. Funny thing, I can’t remember any of these super folks ever seeking the assistance of the greater community, maybe because their parents taught them to be self-reliant. Teachers, social workers and even superintendents could learn a lot from these men and women from three generations ago; they called them the “greatest generation. FRANKLIN M. WICKER Lakeville

Principal: Promote students by competency by Joe Nathan THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With school tests and taxes in the news, I asked several local leaders about their priority for state or national policy change. Here’s what they told me: John Wollersheim, Rosemount high school principal, said he would reform the testing system and move to competency-based progress through school for students. He says there are too many testing systems in place, noting that there are eight in use. “We need a system P-16 that measures individual growth overtime, can be used at all levels (P-16), and can be used for students to progress through school,� he said. He said schools should promote students by competency rather than by age. Minnesota colleges and universities would be able to use the test results for admissions, scholarships and student course placement in Wollersheim’s ideal world. “Wouldn’t a system that measures student growth and became the target for all of our schools P-16 be great? Imagine an aligned system,� he said. Farmington School Superintendent Jay Haugen recommended a process that would allow any school district, or group of school districts, with an acceptable plan, a waiver from any rules that get in the way of their redesign efforts. He said districts would not be able to waive rules regarding health and safety to students. “The rules that govern our educational system have a lot of control over the outcomes achieved by our educational system, and so it seems reasonable that we test these controls to see if changes can lead to greater student success or less expensive models of education,� he said. Scott Douglas, principal

at Lakeville South High School, said the most important K-12 education reform would be the elimination of tenure and seniority. “This will positively impact student learning by giving school principals the ability to make sure the best teachers instruct our children,� he said. “A vast majority of teachers are passionate, dedicated and hard working. Principals, as instructional leaders, currently have the responsibility but restricted capability to ensure success for every student.� Mitch Clausen, CrosbyIronton High School principal, said he would reward great teachers for great teaching. “Not only would I reward great teachers monetarily, I would give them opportunities to grow by traveling/ studying and teaching other teachers how to be great,� he said. “In today’s system, there is no difference in how we reward good teachers as compared to rewarding great teachers. There is a huge difference between good and great.� State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, chair of one of the Minnesota House Education Committees, responded that one of his priorities is to “reform teacher retention policies to be based on teacher quality and effectiveness as opposed to the current system of quality blind layoffs within a seniority based system.� So along with money, educators are seeking ways to help them spend money more effectively.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After the Metropolitan Council said it wouldn’t be able to fund buses for the Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line, the local transit authority has developed a plan to keep the line moving. The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority board has adopted a plan that would ensure operating funds for Cedar Avenue BRT at the expense of some portions of existing routes. To achieve the $1 million required annually to operate the Cedar buses, the MVTA looked at a series of funding transfers and service cuts. One source of funding is a 2007 federal grant for operating express and limited-stop service on the I-35W corridor, which is also scheduled to host a BRT route. This $1.28 million grant is transferable because the projects for which it was awarded were covered

Ernie’s Pub/from 1A Now the two men are focused on making the place their own. Though they plan to keep some of the existing glass art work and light fixtures, much of the decor will be replaced. Pleschourt and Prettyman emphasized that their restaurant will be family friendly. “It’s a pub, not a sports

Her management portfolio also includes communications, community services and information technology departments, as well as the city clerk’s office. “I’ve been looking to broaden my experience beyond just budgeting. This is a great opportunity for me to have more areas of responsibility,� said Johnston, who lives in Eagan with her husband and their two chil-

the “station-to-station� service initially would be a route with six stops in Apple Valley, Eagan and Bloomington, terminating at the Mall of America. The I-35 limited-stop and express routes between Lakeville and downtown Minneapolis are also slated to begin in fall 2012. BRT along that corridor is still in its early stages. Current construction at the I-35 split adds high-occupancy carpool lanes, Selvig said. The problem of operating expenses first arose last month when the Met Council refrained from purchasing buses because they did not have three years worth of such money on-hand. Metropolitan Council Regional Administrator Pat Born, citing $52 million in that organization’s recent budget reductions, wrote to Dakota County Regional Railroad Authority Chair

Will Branning in late August that “the (Met) Council will be making some permanent service adjustments to balance the budget.� “This means that the Council does not have funding available to expand services� in the 2012-2013 biennium, Born wrote. After more than a decade of work, and the construction finally coming to fruition this year, it comes down to $1 million, which is the Met Council’s share of the Cedar Avenue line’s $2 million subsidy. Selvig said officials are working hard to ensure the Cedar Avenue BRT will be operational by the scheduled time. “Our board has indicated throughout the process that failure is not an option,� Selvig said.

bar or a college hangout,� Prettyman said. “We want people to enjoy a drink after work or with dinner.� The Burnsville men said they believe their unique menu will set the restaurant apart from its competition. “We want items that you can’t find at any other bar and grills,� Pleschourt said. Some of Ernie’s unusual fare includes popovers, salmon wellingtons and hand cut steaks.

The restaurant will also have a breakfast menu that will include creme brulee french toast. The pub will have a vast drink menu which will further set Ernie’s apart from the pack, Pleschourt said. Though they aimed to make the menu unique, the two men also set out to make it affordable. “Our menu is designed with the recession in mind so the average family of

four can afford to go out to eat,� Pleschourt said. Pleschourt said he isn’t concerned about the location, which is visible from the freeeway but is at the end of an entrance road to hotels. “I think the atmosphere will drive people to come off the beaten path,� he said.

dren. “The nice thing about a budgeting background is that you’re able to work with all the different departments so you get an idea of what they do,� she said. Johnston will fill out the city’s top administrative team, which also includes City Manager Craig Ebeling and Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen. “I think that she’s going to do a terrific job for us,� Ebeling said. Johnston was one of 43 applicants for the job and one of eight interviewed, Ebeling said. “We did want to attract

a candidate who is able and desirous of having responsibility not only for finance, but in a bit of a larger area as well,� Ebeling said. “Over the next six months she’ll be making the transition into all of those different areas.� Johnston has a bachelor’s degree in political science and communications from Augsburg College in Minneapolis. She earned a master’s in public administration with a concentration in budget and expenditure analysis from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. She worked at the Office of Management and Budget

from 1996 to 1999, serving under three different budget directors during the Clinton administration. “I really enjoyed it,� Johnston said. “It’s an experience that’s great to have when you’re young and that’s your biggest concern – working on your career.� From 1999 to 2004 she worked on K-12 and higher education finance in Minnesota’s finance department. In Minneapolis, she and her staff reformed three closed pension funds by engineering a plan to merge them into the state pension plan. “It allowed us to reduce our liability significantly,� Johnston said. The merger “gives you time for investment returns to pick back up and gives you more time to make those payments,� she said. In Burnsville, Ebeling said, her challenges will include finding ways to finance improvements needed to redevelop the industrial area west of Interstate 35W known as the Minnesota River Quadrant. “That’s a really pretty massive initiative for us,� he said. “It’s going to involve some significant expenditures of money for the infrastructure. Some of it we’ve got figured out, but there’s a lot of work to do yet.�

by funding from another federal program, said Robin Selvig, MTVA’s spokesperson. Other sources of funding include about $90,000 from the Met Council and $1.8 million from the MVTA, in addition to about $155,000 in to-be-determined service cuts to that organization’s service. The plan would need to be approved by the Met Council, in addition to the Transit Advisory Board, Selvig said. This is because the transfer of grant money changes the scope of the project. If TAB scores the project high enough (against other projects nationally), the money would be granted. The $112 million Cedar line is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in fall 2012. Selvig said initially the Lakeville portion of the line would be inactive. The plan for

Investigators probe things that go bump in the night Paranormal research team will discuss its eldritch encounters at the Galaxie Library THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Judy Yarrington says not all of her encounters with ghosts and spirits have been pleasant ones. Quite the opposite, in fact. Once, in the darkness of an abandoned cemetery late at night, she felt a malevolent spirit lunging at her with sinister intent. Suffused with fear, she wanted nothing more than to make a run for it. But there was work to do, and a report to file. As an investigator with the Hastings Paranormal Team, Yarrington enters homes, businesses and other venues where ghosts and spirit activity have been reported, and attempts to document all the things going bump in the night. “It’s just such a thrill to do it, and it’s an even bigger thrill when you get something on tape,� said Yarrington, an insurance company employee who describes her paranormal investigations as a hobby. The Hastings Paranormal Team was founded in 2006 by a group of Hastings neighbors after Tim Kelly, now the lead investigator, reported paranormal activity in his home and wanted to assemble a team to look into it. Now with six members, the group employs a host of recording equipment – video and audio devices, EMF meters, even dowsing rods – in probing reports of strange, seemingly supernatural goings-on. The investigations are aided by two of the group’s members, including Yarrington, who identify as “sensitives,� people particularly keen to perceiving spirits. Many of the investigations are at the request of home or business owners who want answers to apparition sightings or anomalous noises. The team works for free (though they accept donations), and they pledge to maintain the anonymity of their clients when it comes time to document their findings, Sometimes, an investigation will yield nothing. Other times, though, it’s like they’ve chanced upon a hidden, other-dimensional vor-

tex of seething phantasmal horrors. Fear comes with the territory. Yarrington recounted a recent investigation, in the city of Savage, in which she saw a “very angry, very aggressive� apparition pacing back and forth. The spiritbeing, she says, actually threatened to kill one of the investigators. “I was pretty scared,� she said. “There’s places I’ve gone in and had the hair stand up on the back of my neck.�

The inside story

at the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley. Their presentation, “Paranormal Activity Revealed,� has been a crowd pleaser when they’ve presented it at libraries in the past. “People love it – they have recordings of paranormal sounds and video of paranormal activity that they play,� said Gladys Kim of the Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings, which has hosted presentations by the paranormal team. “They’re not ghostbusters per se – they don’t help people get the ghosts out, but they, I guess, help people live with them.� Other presentations by the paranormal team at Dakota County libraries this month include stops at the Burnhaven Library in Burnsville (Oct. 18), the Inver Glen Library in Inver Grove Heights (Oct. 19), the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount (Oct. 22), the South St. Paul Library (Oct. 27), and the Pleasant Hill Library (Oct. 29). The events are geared toward adults and teenagers, and admission is free. Details are at www.co.dakota. mn.us under “Leisure and Recreation.� More about the Hastings Paranormal Team is at www. hastingsparanormalteam. com.

Sports Football season is far from over for losing teams by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE

With football contests only once a week, every loss feels like a three-game losing streak. It’s been a hilly road for several football programs this year. Eastview, Eagan, Rosemount, Burnsville and Apple Valley have all lost at least two consecutive games this season. Still, there’s a good chance a team in that group will play at the state tournament in November. We’re two weeks from the beginning of section playoffs. While we know a lot about where teams stack up, there’s still plenty of times to reshuffle. We know the likely South Suburban Conference champ and section 1-5A top seed will be determined by what happens Friday night between Lakeville North and South. Behind them is a mix of four teams with two or three wins that still have a chance at making 2011 special. The rest of the conference, except for Eagan, will play in the Section 3-5A bracket. One of those teams will play at state. For the past three years,

Eastview and Ro s e m o u n t have played in the section final. Rosemount is on a rare two-game losing streak, with defeats at the hands of Lakeville North and South in consecutive weeks. Turnovers have been a killer for the Irish with six combined in both losses. Rosemount’s offense has been stifled for three-straight games. While they’re not the same team that was the runner-up at state last year, the Irish defense is the best unit of any team in Section 3-5A. The odds favor Rosemount returning to state again, but it’s no freebie. Eastview hasn’t had a losing record this far into the season since 2004. Beating Apple Valley 17-0 last Friday stands out a little more considering it’s the biggest game of the regular season for both teams. Next Friday’s meeting with Rosemount will go a long way in defining where teams are this year and what to expect

Wildcats, Irish hungry in girls tennis playoffs by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With the playoffs underway in girls tennis, both Eagan and Rosemount feel good about their chances of playing at state. Eagan and Rosemount played in the Section 3AA final last year, with Eagan moving on to become the consolation champions at state. With many of the same players, both teams won the majority of their matches this season leading to high seeds again in the Section 3AA tournament. During the first round of section action on Tues-

day, the higher seeds had no trouble. No. 2 Eagan swept Bloomington Kennedy, and No. 3 Rosemount beat Park, 7-0. No. 5 seed Eastview also came up big with a 7-0 win over Henry Sibley. No. 6 seed Apple Valley sent Bloomington Jefferson home with a 6-1 win. No. 10 Burnsville’s season came to and end with a 6-1 loss to South St. Paul. The section quarterfinals were scheduled for Thursday, semifinals for Tuesday and the final match is set for Oct. 13 at Lifetime Fitness in Lakeville.

The Irish went 16-3 this season thanks to some key victories from No. 1 and 2 singles. The girls were fourth in the South Suburban Conference behind Prior Lake, Lakeville North and Eagan. Top singles player Virginia Norder and No. 2 Alison Baker both went 17-2. Kristen Hoffman had a positive season at doubles going 181. Norder has her eye on her third trip to state when the individual tournament begins Oct. 14. Baker and Hoffman will combine for doubles in section play. Coach Dana Beck feels they

have a good chance to qualify as a team. They feel good about their chances in the section. Earlier this season, the team lost to top seed Prior Lake, 4-3. “We played well but it was very tough day outside with strong wind gusts and think we could have a chance if we play them again under indoor conditions,” Beck said. Rosemount also lost to No. 2 seed Eagan 6-1, but it was the second match of the season. “I’m hoping that we have improved the last month and could change the outcome

of that match if we face off to advance to the section final this year and repeat as in sections,” Beck said. 3AA champions,” Nichols Eagan said. “We hope to improve The Wildcats finished on our consolation champithird in the South Subur- onship finish from the state ban and went 16-3 overall tournament last year.” Individually, the girls during the regular season.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Sometimes a tie feels like a win and sometimes it hurts like a loss. When the Rosemount girls soccer team tied Eastview 0-0 on Tuesday night, the Irish celebrated while the Lightning grumbled. “The girls stepped up and played hard,” Rosemount head coach Kevin Adams said. “Each team had chances. As we grow as a program we need to play with these better teams. We’re getting closer. We’re very happy with the tie.” The two teams had similar records coming into the game, but Rosemount hadn’t defeated Eastview in four years. “We were disappointed,” Eastview forward Paris Sanders said. “We were talking to each other after the game saying this felt like a loss.” The fact that the schools are less than four miles apart and the girls have been playing against each other for years just throws gas on the heated rivalry. “A lot of these girls are on my summer team, so we really wanted to win this one,” Sanders said. “It was disappointing.” Rosemount emphasized defense against Eastview. “We knew (the Lightning) were talented offensively,” Adams said. “We tried to contain their top scorers and hoped to get a break or two. If we kept the game close, we’d have an opportunity to win.” Eastview coach David Herem made note of a number of improvements the Lightning could make. “The game showed us

another hurdle we need to get over,” Herem said. “These teams are going to sit back against us; we need to figure something else out.” This might not be the last time they meet this season. Both teams will begin play in the Section 3AA bracket on Oct. 11. “If we see them again, these girls know in their head we played them tough and we can do it again,” Adams said. Eastview has victories against ranked teams such as Burnsville, White Bear Lake, and tied top-ranked Lakeville North, so they feel confident. “We’re really close this year,” Sanders said. “We have some great chemistry. I think we can go pretty far (in the playoffs.)” Herem likes his chances. “I feel like we can play with anybody,” Herem said. “We’ve shown that so far. We just need effort at every practice. We need effort at

the games. We need effort from the bench. “It’s a tough section. It’s Eagan’s until someone takes it from them.” Eagan is the defending section champion, and it has more wins than both Eastview and Rosemount this season. The Irish can look to wins over Burnsville, Apple Valley, Hastings, Prior Lake and Bloomington Kennedy among others for inspiration. It’s the fourth year in a row the Irish have reached double-digit wins. “The girls have put in the work,” Adams said. “They’ve played together as a team. We have lots of different girls scoring. “They’ve always been about chemistry and team first. I think we can do some damage in (the section).”

low. The win gave Lakeville North, which is ranked No. 1 in the state coaches association poll, the South Suburban Conference title. It also gave Burnsville, ranked No. 4, reason to believe they can hang with the best. “We played as well as we could have,” coach John Soderholm said. “They’re a good team. We played them tight. It was fun. I’m happy for the girls. We’ll get back at it.” It was just the fourth loss for the Blaze, who have high expectations for the playoffs. The girls play in Section 2AA with Eden Prairie along with other western suburban schools. The Blaze have the best record of any team in the section. “We’re playing well,” Soderholm said. “We’re on Burnsville the right track. I feel good While the Blaze lost in about our chances.” overtime 2-1 to Lakeville Rogers is at North on Tuesday, no one Andy was hanging their heads andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The story: Arthur Kipps (played by Charles Numrich), haunted by an encounter years in his past, hires a young actor (Kieran AdcockStarr) to help him tell his disturbing tale, and together they explore the world of a remote, fog-shrouded English village in bringing Kipps’ harrowing experiences to life. The mindset of Numrich as he gets into character for “The Woman in Black� gives some idea of the depths of darkness into which the production delves. In an interview, Numrich said that to enter the grim headspace required of the role, he dredges up old memories of holding his young son, just after the boy had been diagnosed with a lifethreatening illness. “It can be a dark place to go,� he said. “That – when you think about your own child dying – is a scary place to be.� The fear is omnipresent on stage. “If we can get the audience breathing at the same rate as us, they’ll get the fear, too,� Adcock-Starr said. “They’re going to feel it,� Numrich added.

It’s no coincidence Chameleon Theatre Circle is staging “The Woman in Black� in the weeks leading up to Halloween. The classic ghost story registers rather high on the eerie meter. As one character points out early in the show, this a tale of “haunting and evil, fear and confusion, horror and tragedy.� Shadows and dread abound. It’s billed as horror – but not the gore-spraying Freddy Krueger variety. No chainsaw-wielding maniacs, apocalypse bloodbaths or diseased zombie hordes. “If anything, it’s more like Alfred Hitchcock,� director Benjamin Kutschied said of the play, which is based on a 1983 novel by Susan Hill (and soon to be a motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe of “Harry Potter� fame). The Hitchcock terror-vibe comes across in the shadows suffusing the set, the haunting sound effects (howling winds, a baby crying, an oldfashioned music box), and a storyline that blurs past and present, imagination and re- Andrew Miller is at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com. ality.

Access denied for CVS Pharmacy Proposed Heart of the City business asked council for right-turn entrance by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The future of a plan to place a CVS Pharmacy at a prime location in Burnsville’s Heart of the City is still uncertain, though the company earned plan approval during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. With the OK, the council denied CVS’s request for a dedicated right-turn access from Burnsville Parkway to the business’s parking lot. “From CVS’s standpoint it is an important feature ‌ for the convenience of their clients,â€? said Jon Lennander of Velmeir Cos., which builds CVS stores. CVS officials could not be reached on Wednesday morning to say how the right-in access denial would affect the project’s future. Council members unanimously denied the access because they felt it would cause both traffic and pedestrian hazards, in addition to questioning sidewalk and lighting inconsistencies created by the access. They also felt the CVS, which would replace the former TCF Bank at Burnsville Parkway and Nicollet Avenue, had two good accesses from each roadway. The access at 126th Street and Nicollet had a traffic signal installed at the re-

stores have only one access or indirect access to the site. One example Kautz didn’t cite was the CVS Pharmacy near the Apple Valley/Rosemount border that has no direct access from either of its two nearest main roads – County Road 42 and Diamond Path. Because of the experience at sites with such access, Lennander said the company is going to be a little more sticky on access as they are picking, good quality sites. In other changes since last week’s Planning Commission meeting, CVS agreed to install an elevator and removed an ADA compliant sidewalk entrance from Nicollet Avenue. It was estimated that the business would create about 30 jobs – about half of them full-time positions. The project has been a long time coming. The development group, called Burnsville Crossing LLC for this project, first struck a development contract, which included tax-increment financing incentives, with the city in 2007. Plans originally called for a pharmacy, a medical office building and a two-story parking deck. Since then there have been amendments to the contract, and Wellington has told the city that the slow economy hindered progress on the site.

quest of CVS, according to Chris Slania, city planner. Council Member Dan Gustafson pointed out that TCF, which had been in that location since 1974, operated fine with the current access. Lennander has said that the two current access points are congestionprone. After CVS’s right-in access, which would be 300 feet from the intersection with Nicollet Avenue, was denied at last week’s Planning Commission meeting, the plan was altered to add a 183-foot dedicated rightturn lane and decrease the grade of the turn. That alteration didn’t sway the opinion of council members. Steve Albrecht, director of public works, said adding another right-turn access on Burnsville Parkway would create confusion for motorists exiting the development onto the parkway. As they would see a westbound vehicle with a right turn signal on, they would not know if the car intends to turn at the first or second access. The spacing guideline for access points is no less than 660 feet apart, according to Albrecht. Another potential hazard would be the free-flow right turn meeting a pedestrian crossing, according to Albrecht. In an informal survey of current CVS and Walgreen’s locations, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said many local

Seat/from 1A what he calls extremists in the Legislature. Pointing to his record at the Eagan City Council, Hansen said he would bring about the compromise needed in the Legislature. Hansen has served in many roles in local government. When Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire is absent, Hansen is the acting mayor. He also works as a commercial arbitrator on the Minnesota Alternative Dispute Resolution Rule 114 Neutrals Roster, as well as a securities arbitrator for Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

District 196/from 1A any pass on accountability,� said Charlene Briner, spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Education. “We want flexibility.� Briner said she believes so many Minnesota schools are not making AYP, in part, because the state’s goals are higher than some others. “Some states have lowered their standards to make AYP,� she said. To qualify as meeting AYP, a school’s students and subgroups of students must meet the standards or show progress toward meeting them. In Minnesota, whether a school makes AYP is based almost entirely on student scores on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, which are given to students in grades three through eight, 10 and 11. If one subgroup of as few as 20 students does not meet the proficiency targets on the MCA reading and/ or math tests, the school and district are listed as not making AYP. The department is in the midst of writing a proposal that is due Nov. 14. Although District 196 did not make AYP, students in the district as a whole

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota/North Dakota Community Mediation Center named Hansen arbitrator of the year in 2007. Hansen also represents Eagan on various commissions and boards such as the Dakota Communications Center Board of Directors. Hansen has a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from South Dakota State University, and he graduated cum laude from William Mitchell College of Law. Hansen currently works as a risk management officer at AgriBank FCB in St. Paul. He and his wife, who

scored above the state averages in reading and math for all eight grade levels on the MCAs. At the same time, the number of schools in the district that made AYP in both reading and math increased from 11 in 2010 to 17 in 2011. “Overall we were happy to see an increase in the number of schools that made AYP,� said Steve Troen, director of teaching and learning for District 196. Six schools that failed to make AYP last year, made the mark this year. They are: Diamond Path Elementary School of International Studies, Deerwood Elementary School, Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science, Northview Elementary School, Pinewood Community School and Red Pine Elementary School. Despite these steps forward, 16 schools did not make AYP in reading and/ or math. Cedar Park Elementary STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — School was among those that did not make AYP, specifically among students who speak English as a second language and who receive special education services.

teaches math at Eagan High School, have lived in Eagan for 27 years. They have two daughters and a son who live in the Twin Cities area. When asked if he is confident he can beat his opponents, Hansen said: “I don’t think of opponents. I plan to visit with people in the caucus and those involved in the endorsement.� Redistricting could place the two candidates in a new district that might not have the same number or boundaries at 38A. These changes are not scheduled to be finalized until February. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

Troen said he is not entirely surprised by the results. “I don’t think it’s a poor reflection of STEM, rather a target of certain groups to help them further improve,� he said. Schools that receive Title 1 programs that support reading and math instruction are penalized if they do not make AYP in the same subject for two or more consecutive years. Deerwood, Glacier Hills and Westview are examples of schools that have not met this goal. These schools, along with Cedar Park, Rosemount and Southview, are required to provide extra tutoring services, professional development, and busing services to other schools within the district — all of which are paid for using Title 1 funds. If a waiver was granted to the state, schools would be released from these penalties. Troen said he likes that NCLB helps schools identify and address achievement gaps, but that it can also be too restrictive. “It can create a perception of schools that don’t make AYP that isn’t entirely accurate,� he said.
