Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann presented a proposal to the full council Jan. 10 during a council work session. The proposal was to apply for a grant through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, which recently announced its plans for a $1 billion grant program for its Health Care Innovation Challenge.

Lakeville fire report for Jan. 9 to Jan. 15, important safety tip
Criminal realizes right from wrong, after breaking glass
From Jan. 9 to Jan. 15, members of the Lakeville Fire Department responded to 19 calls for service: one vehicle fire, one mutual aid to Burnsville, three medicals, one motor vehicle accident with injuries, one gas leak, two carbon monoxide incidents, nine false alarms, and one good intent. Fire Prevention Tip To help survive cold winter nights, the LFD is issuing the following tips regarding electric blankets: - If the blanket gets wet, do not turn it on to dry it. - When not in use, roll the blanket instead of folding it to ensure that the wires will not be damaged. - Discontinue use if any of the following apply: wires are poking out of the material, the fabric is unraveling or if burnt patches of fabric are visible. - If the blanket is over 10 years old, it is time to replace it.
Lakeville police officers recently responded to a report from a fast food restaurant one night of a male subject who had broken the glass of an entry door to the restaurant. When the officers arrived at the location, they quickly located and identified the subject. The subject admitted to the officers that he had broken the door by punching it out. He said that he punched the glass because he was angry about something one of his friends had said to him and that the act was not related to the restaurant at all. The subject was apologetic for his impulsive reaction in breaking the glass. He was transported by officers from the restaurant and subsequently released pending charges of criminal damage to property.

Low Energy Insomnia Brain Fog Afternoon Naps Wake Up Tired
Drops in energy happen slowly. They sneak up on you over the years until you suddenly realize life is passing you by. Why? Because you are either waking up tired or by the time 5 o’clock rolls around you are spent. Coffee and stimulants only go so far and once the weight comes on you are now trapped in a vicious cycle, making it hard to be productive and enjoy life. But this pattern can be broken. You do not have to go through life tired. I successfully helped many people gain better energy over the past several years. It’s not that difficult. I find most of my patients are walking around eating the wrong foods (when they think they are the right foods), sleeping horribly and taking way too many medications for issues they may no longer have. Doctors are way too busy nowadays and you the patient suffers for it. I urge you to get your life back. Come to my free workshop and see how it is possible.

Lakeville resident, Eagan police officer writes first novel Author Dan McCarty self-published ‘A Soldier Reborn’ in fall 2011 BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Rosemount native and Lakeville resident Dan McCarty has lead an interesting life. He graduated from Eastview High School in Apple Valley in 1999 – the first graduating class at the school. McCarty then joined the Minnesota Army National Guard in the 1999 and served out of West St. Paul, completing two full-time call-ups. McCarty served at the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport for eights months following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, providing security augmentation for the airport.
Afterwards, he was deployed for an 11month tour serving in Kosovo in late 2003 and early 2004. McCarty was honorably discharged as a sergeant in 2005. In September 2005, McCarty was hired by the Eagan Police Department and has served there for more than six years. Through all his life experiences, McCarty has maintained a passion for creative writing, but did not always have the time to pursue it until recently. McCarty self-published his first novel, “A Soldier Reborn,” with the help of the Edina-based Beaver Press in November 2011. McCarty, 30, lives in Lakeville with his wife and two young boys. He took time on Wednesday, Jan. 18, to speak with the Sun-Current about his first novel. AUTHOR: TO PAGE 10

Imperial Plastics’ Oberto named Business Person of the Year Official Lakeville Chamber of Commerce recognition Jan. 30 BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS By his own admission, Norman Oberto is one who believes accomplishment and success is often a group effort, and this certainly applies to his being recognized by his peers. Oberto, owner of Imperial Plastics located in Lakeville, has been named as the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2011 Business Person of the Year, and he will officially be recognized during the business organization’s annual membership meeting 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30, at the Crystal Lake Golf Club, 16725 Innsbrook Drive, Lakeville. The Business Person of the Year is annually presented to a member of the chamber whose contributions improved the business climate and made the community a better place to live and work. Past winners meet on an annual basis to review and select the nominations made by the general chamber membership. But for Oberto, honoring just one person for the overall accomplishments of a company or a business is a concept he views differently.
“I prefer to think of it as ‘Business of the Year,’” Oberto said of his being named. “It is a nice recognition of what we’ve been doing here in Lakeville.” Oberto purchased Imperial Plastics in 1997, a company that is a manufacturer of engineered plastic components. After several acquisitions of other molders, the business has grown from 50,000 square feet to 263,000 square feet in five locations – four in Lakeville and one in West St. Paul. Since he bought the company, not only have new jobs been created but also the number of employees has tripled in size. “From my standpoint, I’m very grateful and very humbled by the recognition,” Oberto said. “Having said that, it takes a lot of people to make any kind of entity work.” Oberto continued by saying that he was part of a team that is working collectively to create jobs and contribute to the community. He said that the effort was not limited to just employees as he cited his customers, suppliers, and other employers that all work together. Even during a seemingly ongoing economic downturn, Oberto and his staff have grown the business and created new plastic applications by converting metal components to plastic. “Although the economy shrunk by about 15 percent and our piece of the pie OBERTO: TO PAGE 8

Burnsville • Lakeville
Turtle, this is sea: It is the most pervasive, relevant “Top 5” list I have ever come across. It was a blog post, and now it’s a book: “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.” A palliative care worker, Bronnie Ware, wrote both after spending a lot of time with people weeks before their death. “I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth,” she wrote in her blog. “Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.” “When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, com-

mon themes surfaced again and again.” Those themes: • “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” • “I wish I didn’t work so hard.” • “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.” • “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.” • “I wish that I had let myself be happier.” Hmm.

Or, remember the stuff that is often too easy to forget
The blog expounds on each topic. But, the titles say a lot. It’s kind of hard not to imagine yourself older, lying in bed, looking up at a blank ceiling and filling it with memories from these categories. Well, older if you’re lucky enough to get that far. Even so, the good thing is, many of us still have time to make those memories. At least one of those has to be nagging at you. So, how great would it be if you could take it off the backburner? It doesn’t have to be long, arduous or a soul search. Whatever that is. A mere ten minutes a day could do it. Maybe it’s as simple as playing the harmonica, but you haven’t because you knew the idea wouldn’t be well
received from others. Well guess what? It’s your harmonica — go play the thing. Who cares how it sounds. And, what would happen if you cancelled that cable subscription? How much time would that free up? All I’ll say from personal experience is after reading the blog last fall, I thought a lot about it and made adjustments. It hasn’t been a glum process with an undertone of a longterm bucket list. No. It’s a relief. It’s fun. It’s empowering. It’s your own “Waking Ned Divine,” only not as dramatic, simpler and as regular as pouring a cup of coffee. Anyway, I’ll shut up now. The blog is on inspirationandchai.com. Give it a read. You’ll know what to do.
Editorial: What we do with letters to the editor We’ve been hearing from readers who are unhappy with our policies regarding letters we run on the opinion page. We understand some of the complaints, but there are others that require some clarification. First and foremost, our editorial page is meant to be a forum for ideas. And we plan to keep it that way. We receive letters from a wide variety of viewpoints and backgrounds. Some of those viewpoints and backgrounds may be unpopular, but those letter writers are just as deserving of having their opinions printed as any other. We have a very simple process we go through when a letter
arrives. First, we examine it based on a few simple qualifications such as word length, whether it has a signature and phone number, the housekeeping side of things. The next step is a bit more intangible, but just as clear-cut: Does the letter address a local issue, an issue pertinent to the community and applicable to that community? We also determine the basis for the letter writers’ opinion. We don’t edit opinions, but we do edit facts. It’s up to the letter writers to supply the source for any fact provided. If someone makes a claim that either we know is not true, is unverifiable or is not provided with a source,
The Sun-Current welcomes comments from its readers. Readers are encouraged to write letters to the editor on topics of local interest. Letters to the editor should
not exceed 250 words. Short letters are the most likely to be read. All letters to the editor must bear the author’s signature and complete address.
then we have to ask the letter writer to correct it. Also, we’ll edit or hold a letter if the writer resorts to name-calling instead of putting forth a persuasive argument. We can also correct it ourselves if possible, and at worst, we’ll just omit the claim or letter entirely. But, we hate to do that. We want letters to form ink as easily as possible. If there is something being said you don’t like, please write a letter and let us know your opinion, too. And as a reminder, on our opinion page we allow a writer to submit a letter once every four weeks. So, if there is a re-occurring topic addressed in letters to
the editor, and you are getting tired of reading about it once every month on the opinion page, we can apologize but we don’t want to limit voices, either. Please remember, just because we print a letter in our pages does not mean the SunCurrent espouses that viewpoint. This is a forum for discussion. We like to keep it that way, as all newspapers should, and we hope you like it that way, too. As always, we want the community to hear what you think. Send your letters to: Sun Newspapers 33 Second St. N.E. P.O. Box 280 Osseo, MN 55369
Share your views with our readers We will limit the frequency of letters published from an individual writer. Please write to: Sun-Current, 33 Second St. N.E., Box 280, Osseo, MN 55369. You also may

Grant FROM PAGE 1 identify and assist target populations with finding access to community resources, performing medical procedures, providing immunizations, educating the public on health and safety, and providing followup visits to psychiatric patients and frequent users of the 911 emergency systems. The department is seeking approximately $2 million of the $1 billion available to cover 100 percent of associated costs for three years if the department is awarded the grant. The funding would allow the department, for three years, to add three firefighters and a captain, all who would receive the additional training called for in the grant. It would also allow for the hire of an administrative assistant, and the purchase of two vehicles, including an ambulance. According to Jungmann, the department has a March 30 deadline to submit its application for the grant, and if awarded, it would have to be implemented within six months. He added that the grant would allow the department to work more collaboratively with are health care facilities. “What this allows us to do is integrate in that health care system a lot better,
work with [a patient’s] primary care physician, work with their specialty physician, and work through any issues that they are having,� he said, without going to the emergency room. Jungmann continued by saying the focus of the grant is to develop a model of efficiency that could be replicated nationally across both public and private sectors. “The goal is to reduce hospital admissions and provide a healthier community and reduce the strain on emergency rooms, and overall a reduction in health care costs,� Jungmann said. “It would probably be the first in the state and perhaps the country,� Jungmann said. Delineating the difference between current paramedics with the new community paramedic concept, Jungmann said it’s primarily about knowledge in certain areas. “Our standard paramedics are very good at responding to acute illnesses and traumatic injuries,� he said, adding they are very good at caring for heart attack patients or car accident victims. Jungmann said the BFD currently has
more than 35 paramedics, but none are of the new community paramedic designation. “We would send them to get additional training, which is community paramedic,� the chief said, adding each would receive about 350 hours of additional training, and, “It would teach them to do some followup care and some prevention care.� The new Emergency Medical TechniciansCommunity Paramedics designation originated in 2011 at the Minnesota state legislature when lawmakers passed legislation that recognizes community paramedics. “They are specially trained to monitor and assess primary care and ongoing complaints, so patients that have chronic illnesses can bow be evaluated by a paramedic,� the chief said. “And they will talk with their primary care physician, which we currently do not do.� Though city council members supported the proposal, they did not authorize Jungmann and others to proceed until some discussion about the funding duration. This prompted Councilmember Bill Coughlin to raise a question about after
‘Unless I saw that it would pay for itself, it then would become another cost to the city, and I wouldn’t accept that.’
three years, when the grant funding would expire. “Unless I saw that it would pay for itself, it then would become another cost to the city, and I wouldn’t accept that,� Coughlin said. Hansen responded by saying, “This grant would cover all expenses for three years, but after that, there would have to be a decision made – is this a value to continue or not?� City Manager Craig Ebeling took a moment to clarify that the three-year period is needed to determine the answers to many questions. “This is a pilot program that the Medicare and Medicaid folks are willing to invest in because they don’t know the answers,� Ebeling said. “And at the end of three years, [they] may conclude that this really doesn’t work. In the meantime, I think [the program] has some terrific possibilities, and it would be explored at no cost to the city.� Hansen, meanwhile, addressed the issue by saying the time after the threeyear grant time was the first thing he and other staff members considered. “One thing that I think we are going to spend a lot of time on will be revenue recapture of all sorts,� he said. According to Jungmann, the BFD should learn if it has been awarded the grant by this summer, perhaps July or August.

We have worked to become a one-stop-shop, catering to the customers needs,” Oberto said. “Our engineers are very active in trying to help customers.” Oberto continued by saying the economy is something Imperial Plastics is not impervious to, but it’s large enough to absorb a drop in its demand. “We always have a number of projects that we are working on,” he said. “Obviously when the economy slows

down, there may be fewer projects, but there are still … applications that we are working on.” Oberto was raised in Decatur, Ill., where he attended Millikin University graduated with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering. He said that his decision to buy Imperial Plastics in 1997 was that of a business opportunity, and to be a different kind of owner. “I have always wanted to own a business and create a culture of people working together and making it a good place to work,” he said. Oberto and his wife of 37 years, Lori, have three daughters: Lauren, 21; Allison, 18; and Emily, 15. His hobbies are golfing, reading, traveling and remodeling.

Corporate law, education, parenting rights among many topics BY T.W. BUDIG – ECM PUBLISHERS Area lawmakers will be working on legislation dealing with corporate law, custodial rights of parents, education, and other areas of human endeavor. Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee Chairman Chris Gerlach, R-Apple Valley, said one item his committee will address early in the session is the public benefit corporation. Gerlach described a public benefit corporation as a hybrid between profit and nonprofit corporations. In a public benefit corpor a t i o n , investors invest with the idea of making modest returns on their dollars. For these modest returns, investors are rewarded in knowing the corporation is engaged in part in activities with a public benefit, Gerlach explained. Under the proposed legislation, liability protection is extended to public benefit corporation board of directors against shareholders intent on greater earnings, Gerlach said. Gerlach is co-authoring the legislation with the Sen. John Marty, DFL- Roseville. His committee will also be looking at occupational licensure, explained Gerlach. Some occupations have needless licensure requirements that serve only to close off the marketplace to immigrants and other New Americans, Gerlach said. He is looking at removing occupational licensure from some jobs, as long as removal does not pose a danger to the public, he said. Sen. David Brown, R-Becker, talks of pursuing flat tax and education legislation. In the flat tax bill, Brown propos-

es a seven percent flat income tax on income over $30,000 — earnings lower would not be taxed. Brown offers the flat tax bill as a conversation-starter. His education bill would prohibit the use of education funding shifts as a budgeting tool. “In my mind, we didn’t balance the budget,” Brown said of last session and budget gimmicks. Rep. Tim Sanders, R-Blaine, looks to make state government more efficient. He mentions legislation for use of advanced technology in preventing waste, fraud and abuse. Specifically, he looks to the application of advanced technology in human services to improve the identification and rejection of improper Medicaid payments before payment is made to the provider. “It can prevents the (unnecessary) checks from going out door,” Sanders said. S a n d e r s believes millions of dollars can be saved. Rep, Peggy Scott, R-Andover, looks to pursuing perceived reforms to the Metropolitan Council. She describes the Met Council as staffdriven organization with an actfirst-and-explain-later mentality. “There’s a lack of accountability,” she said. She hears complaints from local governments and private businesses about the council, said Scott. “It tells me there’s a problem,” she said. Scott will also pursue legislation dealing with the custodial rights of parents of children born outside of marriage. Scott is interested in ensuring the rights of fathers. “We’ve been terrible to the children with the current (custodial) system,” she said. Senate Local Government and Elections Committee Chairman Ray Vandeveer, R-Forest Lake, will be looking at Met Council reform. A body that levies taxes ought to be accountable to voters, said Vandeveer.
‘It prevents the (unnecessary) checks from going out the door.’

LEGISLATION: TO NEXT PAGE
www.minnlocal.com – Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012 – Burnsville & Lakeville Sun-Current
In the Community, With the Community, For the Community
Legislation FROM PREVIOUS PAGE He argues such accountability is currently lacking in the Met Council. Vandeveer is considering legislation that would have counties within the Met Council region appointing county commissioners to the council. “That’s the wild card,” he said of whether Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton would accept the change. Still, Vandeveer expects the legislation to advance. House Health and Human Services (HHS) Finance Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, said his committee would be engaging in “clean up work” relating to HHS budget. They’re still looking for ways to save money, Abeler explained. “I’m trying to avoid any more (budget) cuts,” he said. On the issue of the Met Council, Abeler — noting that former Anoka lawmaker Charlie Weaver was a driving force behind the creation of the council — said it would make more sense to him to make the council a state agency rather than tinker with council membership.
Abeler agrees with some of Scott’s and Vandeveer’s concerns. When inexperienced people sit on the Met Council, the agency is really staff-driven, Abeler explained. But he questions whether any governor would accept the potential loss of the power that might come with Met Council reform. Governors name Met Council members. “Pawlenty liked it,” he said. “(Democratic Gov. Mark) Dayton likes it,” said Abeler of having the power. Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, is considering proposing a right-towork constitutional amendment which if approved by voters would ban forcing people to join unions or paying union dues as a condition of employment. The proposed amendment would not impact the legal status of unions — people have a right to form unions, Thompson explained. But Thompson argued the recent proposed childcare provider unionization vote shows that unions can be used as political tools. “I’ve not counted votes,” he said when asked whether the right to work amendment could pass the Senate. House Education Reform Committee Chairwoman Sondra Erickson, R- Princeton, proposes an aggressive agenda for her committee. The committee will be looking at
the so-called “Last In, First Out” layoff rule which requires school districts to terminate recent hires over older teachers in times of layoffs. Critics argue such an approach is “quality blind.” Erickson’s committee will also consider innovative delivery of education. She seeks to establish multiple long-term school district pilot projects in which educators can try new things. “The sky is the limit,” said Erickson of what might be attempted. Dayton is reform-minded in terms of education, she explained. “The governor and I work very well together,” said Erickson. “He really does engage well with (Senate Education Committee Chairwoman) Senator (Gen) Olson and I,” she said. Sen. Ted Daley, R-Eagan, is pushing a bill requiring that novice teachers must first pass a basic skills test before being allowed to teach. “Unfortunately, something happened when it got to the governor,” Daley said of Dayton vetoing his bill last year. The legislation will immediately be brought back this session, he said. A teacher can take the test over if they fail, Daley said. T.W. Budig is the Capitol Reporter for ECM Publishers.

Author FROM PAGE 3 Question: What made you decide to write your first novel? Answer: I began reading suspense novels at a young age. I loved the idea of getting engrossed in the story and following along with the twists and turns. After six years in the military and six years as a police officer I felt I had enough experience to try and fabricate a unique story and write it in the voice of someone who has lived through some amazing experiences. Q: In a nutshell, what is the book about? A: The book is about a special forces
In the Community, With the Community, For the Community
soldier, William Connelly, who is mortally wounded during a raid on a terrorist compound. His dying body is flown back to America where he undergoes a top-secret surgery that implants his brain into a donor body. Five years later a police detective investigates a murder that uncovers the top-secret program. With his life in danger, he must survive long enough solve the murder and discover what really happened to Connelly. Q: How did your experiences in law enforcement, the military and as an Emergency Medical Technician shape this book? A: The book is a mix of military action, law enforcement action/investigation and medical science-fiction. As a former fire team leader in the Army
infantry I used my training and experience to shape the military action using real methods and language. As a crime scene technician and police officer, I employed basic crime scene techniques with investigative reality to create a realistic investigation and my time as an EMT helped me shape the lethality of certain wounds and some medical terminology used in the book. Q: What has been the feedback so far from friends, family and other readers of the book? A: What has impressed me most about the feedback has been the general audience’s reaction to the book. I wrote the book for the enjoyment of fellow officers and military veterans but I’ve had great response from both males and females from all walks of life. Most people have a hard time putting down the book and my two biggest

2012 TAX GUIDE
complaints are people getting engrossed in the book and people wanting more books. Q: Do you have plans to write a second or follow-up novel? A: The story of William Connelly is only one third of the way complete. When I started writing the story I had no idea how long the book would be. I knew most novels come in around 300 pages so I aimed to stop writing at that point and I feel like I have another 2/3rds to go. I believe this book will be the first of a trilogy about William Connelly and I plan to write additional novels after the trilogy is complete. “A Soldier Reborn” by Dan McCarty is available for purchase at Local Barnes & Noble Bookstores and beaverspondbooks.com, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com.

EDUCATION Keliher reelected as Lakeville Area Public Schools Board Chair During its meeting Tuesday, Jan. 10, the Lakeville Area Public Schools ISD 194 board of directors reelected Judy Keliher as its board chair. Being the first meeting of the year, some of the meeting’s time was devoted to selecting the board chair, vice chair, treasurer, and clerk. Keliher’s nomination, which was seconded by directors Roz Peterson and Kathy Lewis, did not come unanimously. Director Michelle Volk took a few moments to clarify her dissenting vote for Keliher to return to the chair position. “When I make my vote, it will be clear,” Volk said. “It’s the principal of the point that any good organization ought to change up their leadership.” Volks comment was well received and not contentious as the board proceeded with its selections. Peterson was selected as vice chair, while Bob Erickson was selected treasurer. And director Kathy Lewis was selected as clerk.

Area youths get hands-on experience in government Lakeville had one of its largest participation years in the Youth in Government program with nearly 70 students. The program began this past September and culminated with a model assembly at the State Capitol Jan. 5-8. The students enjoyed four days of learning the legislative process as well as socializing with another 1,463 students from across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The YIG program gives students a unique, hands-on opportunity to learn about how local and state governments function. Three Lakeville students were elected to serve as officers for next year’s
Youth In Government model assembly. Samy Slinger was elected chief justice of the Supreme Court; Mati Hanson was elected chief judge of the Trial Court; and Carly Fredrichs was elected president of the Ramsey Senate. Several Lakeville students won all four of their court cases they presented and the YIG governor signed many Lakeville legislative bills. YIG is implemented through Independent School District 194 Lakeville Area Community Education and the YMCA.
BHS among 32 high schools to compete at science bowl Burnsville High School students will join around 160 high school science and math students from 20 different schools across the state of Minnesota to compete 1:30-9:30 p.m. Jan. 20, Macalester College, Olin-Rice Hall of Science, 1600 Grand Ave., St. Paul, at the Minnesota Academy of Science’s Minnesota State Regional Science Bowl. As a regional event of the U.S,
Department of Energy, the winning team will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to compete in the department’s National Science Bowl. Students compete in five-person teams solving technical problems and answering questions in all branches of science and math. The tournament is conducted in a fast-paced question and answer format. Teams go head-to-head and ring in to answer questions, just like the TV show Jeopardy. Each team plays multiple games in a round robin tournament with the chance to advance to a double-elimination championship. The Science Bowl offers students who excel in math and science an opportunity to participate on a team and build leadership skills in an exciting, competitive format. Students gain knowledge and stretch their science and math understanding by preparing for questions on a broad range of scientific disciplines. The Science Bowl also gives the students a national competition to validate their interest in science and math and is designed to encourage them to pursue an education and career in science.

Violations FROM PAGE 1 According to Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen, the strict deadlines set at the Dec. 20 meeting were simply not met, and city officials were forced to make a decision. “The city of Burnsville is revoking the rental license for Country Village apartments and Delores Lindahl, the owner, of Wayzata to operate apartments in Burnsville,” he said Jan. 18, the day the decision was made. The revocation applies to Country Village’s six buildings and their combined 138 units. As part of the inspection process, Hansen said, the fire marshal performed an inspection at the complex Wednesday, Jan. 17, to ensure that property owners met the Jan. 15 deadline, which focused on fire code violations. “There are a couple hundred doors involved with fire code violations that have been so noted since Aug. 2,” Hansen said of the date that outstanding fire code violations have been pending. “[The owners] needed to, according to the council, have them replaced by Jan. 15. They have not been replaced. Six months they have had to correct a fire code violation that actually does endan-

ger the residents.” In the city’s attempts to work with Lindahl Properties since May 2011 to resolve many building, fire, and other property violations, the council has met on several occasions, which included two appearances by property owner representatives, and had multiple inspections performed. In total, only minor repairs were made to individual units, but the property overall failed to meet the city’s minimum code requirements. According to Hansen, the maintenance and upkeep of fire codes is not an imposition. “It is very routine to meet the fire code violations with doors such as this,” he said. “For this company to do nothing between Dec. 20 and Jan. 17, when they knew exactly what needed to be done, for them not even to have ordered the doors, let alone have them installed is disappointing to a very grave degree.” Lindahl Properties has been notified of its license revocation status through
its attorney, Jason Hutchison. Despite the many meetings and conditions set on Lindahl Properties since August, Hansen said the revocations could have been avoided had the property owners simply had at least ordered the materials needed, adding that city officials realized that Lindahl may not have had the doors fully installed due to the time it takes to install hundreds. “At least have the doors ordered, paid for, on-site, ready to be installed,” Hansen said, adding that the city could probably have worked with them. “But they didn’t even have that. We’ve been working with them every step of the way, and this was just the last straw.” For at least one nonprofit organization, the decision by the Burnsville council comes as no surprise. The Community Action Partnership has been following this issue since it first arose. The organization, with offices in

Shakopee and Rosemount, has been taking steps to help the residents of Country Village in the event of this exact decision. Though CAP has been working with the city and tenants for months, the need for funds to help these tenants is greater than ever. “We just started fundraising the last couple of weeks,” said Rebecca Bowers, CAP vice president of development. “We have been working with the city and with the residents for a couple of months now, but we just started very recently trying to raise [funds].” Bowers said her agency has been sending letters to the CAP’s community partners, its vendors, and contractors as a way of garnering support to raise money for deposit assistance for soon-tobe former Country Village tenants. “We haven’t received very many donations yet,” Bowers said, adding that CAP at least has one area covered. “We have a church network, a faith group network that we work with in Dakota County,” she said. “They are going to be helping with some fundraising.” Bowers said the help would be for Country Village families. “They are Burnsville families, so we hope to be able to get some donations to help,” she said. “We have a great housVIOLATIONS: TO PAGE 17

Technology Advice
Q. Why would I want to soften my water?
Q: How can I improve my computer’s performance?
A. Soft water greatly reduces the scaling of pipes, faucets, pots, glasses, tubs, etc. You will use less laundry soap, dishwashing soap, hand soap, etc. The water is more pleasant to wash with and generates less soap scum. Call today for more information & additional savings

Eye Care Advice Q. What is dry eye? A: If you have ocular symptoms such as dryness, redness, a sandy, scratchy, itchy feeling, or blurry vision that changes when you blink you may have Dry Eye Syndrome. Dry Eye Syndrome is a serious medical condition that affects tear production and/or drainage. Left untreated, it can lead to serious ocular complications such as corneal ulceration or Meibomian gland disease. Dry eye is one of the most common disorders seen in an eye doctor’s office. Menopausal women are one of the largest groups of patients affected by dry eye. We suggest you talk with your eye doctor if you have any of these dry eye symptoms.

A: One of the first things we look at is hard drive clutter. We start by checking and removing Temp Files and Temporary Internet Files. A second procedure performed when tuning up a PC is to evaluate all of the installed programs and applications. People are always surprised at the number of applications that their computer can accumulate over time! Disk fragmentation is another thing that slows the overall performance and causes significantly longer response times, so we use a utility to consolidate fragmented files.

Contact the chamber office at 952.469.2020 for reservations. Guest rate is $45.
Heating Advice Q. With the fluctuation in temperatures this winter, is there anything I should do to maintain my HVAC equipment? A: With record breaking warm temperatures so far this winter, it is very important to check your intake or exhaust venting for ice. With the fluctuation of temperatures that we’ve been having, there will be a lot of melting and refreezing which will cause ice build up. If ice is built up, it will restrict air flow to your furnace causing it to shut down. Your furnace may vent out of the side of your home, or your roof. As always, be sure to check and change your furnace filter regularly.

company about the amount of damage, is there something I can do?
A: YES.
The insurance company is required to return your vehicle to the condition it was in before it was damaged. The company can either pay all costs to satisfactorily repair your vehicle, including all obvious and hidden damage, or they may offer a cash settlement to pay for the satisfactory repair of your vehicle. If you disagree with the insurance company, you may have the ability to pursue action in small claims court if you are filing a claim against another party’s company, or you can invoke the appraisal process if you are filing a claim with your own company.

A: Absolutely, it's very common for people with a high level of fear or anxiety to avoid the dentist all together. Unfortunately, that can lead to more severe dental problems in the long run. Here are a few suggestions to help ease your anxiety. First, let your dental care team know about your fear up front. They can explain the procedures in detail and give you extra time to relax and ask questions. This alone can help many people feel more comfortable with routine dental care. For those requiring more, many dental practices have some form of sedation available. Most offices offer inhaled nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" to help their patients feel relaxed during appointments. If that doesn't seem to help, you might need to look for a dentist who offers a prescribed oral sedative to take prior to your appointment. This is a great solution for people with mild to moderate anxiety. The third option is IV sedation where the doctor uses IV medications to sedate their patient putting them in a comfortable, sleep like state for their entire appointment. This is a great option for the most anxious or fearful patient. One of these forms of sedation could easily be used to help make your visits more comfortable. Everyone is different so to discuss your options or to learn more, look for a dentist in your area offering sedation services and contact them directly.

BY DANIEL CALLAHAN SUN NEWSPAPERS Looking around the USO at the San Diego International Airport, you might think the numerous Marine Corps recruits were getting ready for camp. They lounge on easy chairs, grab snacks and drinks from the kitchen, watch television and relax. For the moment, they don’t appear too concerned with why they’ve arrived in San Diego. It was said they try and make them as comfortable as they can knowing what will follow for the next three months. They’re almost carefree. For now. What they don’t know is they’ll be
‘Get outside now!’ The USO volunteers, many of them retired military or parents of active duty personnel, are familiar with the “controlled chaos” that will soon ensue. “We know to move over here,” behind the counter, said volunteer Gary Couture, when the drill instructor arrives. And he arrives soon. Loudly. “Anyone here for Marine recruit training, get outside now!” Around 100 recruits fall over themselves to get out the door and get into for-

mation – four lines stretching along a wall while they stare straight ahead – and receive their first orders. This can be complicated by language barriers as well. To join the U.S. military, you don’t have to be a citizen, just possess a green card. Anyone wearing Marine Corps gear is told to turn it inside out. A roll call is taken. Harshly. They’re told to move their wallets and any personal belongings to their front pockets. They’re stripped of any extra clothing to only a single shirt. Those with bags are pulled aside and made quite aware they brought too much. Each movement is accentuated by the same “do you understand?” from the drill instructor and a chorus of “yes, sir,” from
the recruits. Every move they make is scrutinized and monitored, as it will be for their entire training. Those movements are jerky and uncoordinated, a far cry from the precision the recruits will learn over the next three months. Then they’re hustled onto buses powered by natural gas, and sent off to stand where many have stood before.

Above, though some young men know what to expect when coming to boot camp, others are in the dark and it becomes a real wake up call, fast. At right, Senior Drill Instructor Sgt. Cory Marcus barks out instructions as the recruits read the military honor code before entering to be processed. (Photos by Chris Dillmann – Sun Newspapers)
Marines FROM PREVIOUS PAGE few as four can handle the work. It’s not an easy job, and it requires substantial personal sacrifice on the part of the instructor. Long hours, apart from family, are needed to properly train a Marine recruit. Breaking them down, “it’s the only way,” Gunnery Sgt. Ronna Weyland of the 9th Marine Corps Recruiting District said. And the first two weeks, Phase One of the training, consists of the breakdown. And they’re just getting started. The instructors get the recruits off the bus, on to the famed Yellow Footprints and begin with a quick lesson on standing at attention before they’re given a primer in the United States Code of Military Justice, where they learn what is expected of them as members of the U.S. military. Next is contraband. The recruits are allowed to keep very little with them. In fact, they’re told not to bring anything to recruit training. Cell phones are taken away and shipped to the address on record. Medication is taken away. Any weapons, tobacco, books (other than religious texts) are confiscated. Extra clothing is placed in one bag, any cash in another. They’ll keep the money, but their clothing will soon be put in storage for the next 13 weeks.
Getting into uniform The continual barking in recruits’ faces is intentional, said senior drill instructor Staff Sgt. Justin Hansen. It promotes a sense of
chaos, carefully controlled by the drill instructors, so the recruits are disoriented. The instructors quickly become hoarse, but they’re used to the abuse on their throats. “You break your voice down and rebuild it,” said Hansen. The recruits, already beginning to show signs of the strain placed on them from the constant motion and yelling, are allowed to scream one scripted call home to let someone know they’ve arrived safely. Then they’re cut off. “For three months ... they’re out of touch with the outside world,” Weyland said. For the next two weeks at least, they won’t even be allowed to write a letter. Haircuts follow. Their heads are shaved into the buzzcut they’ll wear until they’re through training. Then onto administration where they are processed into the system. They’re issued identical camouflage uniforms and gear. The purpose of the uniformity is two-fold: To remind recruits their world has changed and to form a sense of team over the individual. Soon those wearing glasses will even have them replaced with standardized, durable plastic frames and lenses. Commonly known as “BCGs” — or “birth control glasses” — the young men aren’t going to win any beauty contests. But, they’ve started to look like Marine Corps recruits.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Mayor Kautz among officials honored with arts award

New Goodwill location opening Jan. 28 in Lakeville
Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz was among three elected officials honored with a 2012 Public Leadership in Arts award Thursday, Jan. 19, at The United States Conference of Mayors 80th annual winter meeting in Washington, D.C. Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to advance the arts and arts education, and the United States Conference of Mayors, presented the award. Both Americans for the Arts and The United States Conference of Mayors have given out the awards annually since 1997. “I am thrilled and honored to receive this national award for local arts leadership,” Kautz said. “I have been blessed to work with so many business and community leaders who make the arts in all forms a priority. I share this award with them. We are very aware that the arts enrich the lives of our citizens, document our history, and drive economic vitality.” Kautz received the award for her and the community’s work on the Heart of the City, Burnsville Performing Arts Center and the city’s annual Art and All that Jazz festival. Other award winners included Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Pemroke Pines, Fla., Mayor Frank Ortis.
“Reoccurring Patterns: from Macro to Micro” by Eleanor McGough opens Thursday, Jan. 26, Burnsville Performing Arts Center’s Art Gallery, 12600 Nicollet Ave., Burnsville. The opening reception is 6-8 p.m. and is free and open to the public, with complimentary appetizers from Buca di Beppo. The exhibit, which runs through Feb. 25, showcases works by Eleanor McGough, a Northeast Minneapolis artist. The paintings draw influences from biology, textiles, maps, and geometry in order to convey a kaleidoscope world of interconnectedness. McGough’s paintings have been described to reveal patterns that reoccur through layers of life, from diatoms in pond water and the cells in our bodies, to patterns in technology and astronomy. From the fractal repetitions of snowflakes to the pixels in a digital image, the universal prevalence of reoccurring patterns suggests that everything is connected through endless iteration of tiny structures. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
A spaghetti dinner and silent auction will take place 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, Neisen’s Sports Bar and Grill, 4851 West 123rd St., Savage. The spaghetti dinner will be catered by Olive Garden and served by the 35 12-year old boys that are raising money to play in a weeklong baseball tournament in Cooperstown, NY. There will be thousands of dollars worth of items to bid on including four Park Hopper passes from Disney Word; a golf package from Ruttger’s on Bay Lake; retail and service certificates to restaurants, salons, and spas; sports memorabilia including autographed photos, logo apparel, and merchandise; tickets to the Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Lynx, and Gopher hockey; theatre event tickets, and more. Organizers are expecting more than 600 people, so they are encouraging those interested in attending to arrive early. Tickets cost $7 per person and can be purchased from any Cooperstown 2012 player, at the door, or by calling Jenny Peterson at 952-892-3389 for tickets or information.
Lakeville will soon be home to a Goodwill store at 17615 Kenrick Ave. Goodwill officials have announced that a preview sale will run 4-7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, at the 14,000 square-foot facility. In addition to shopping, the even will feature a silent auction and light refreshments, with a cost of $7 at the door. The new store and donation center will open to the public 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28.
Call for artists to display work at the Eagan Art House The Eagan Art House is seeking artwork of individual artists or small groups to display at the Eagan Community Center in 2012.

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS As Lakeville North’s season-opening winning streak grew to nine games, people who followed the team could only wonder what the Panthers might do when they were full-strength. Wonder no longer. Burnsville got a taste of the Panthers’ ability in an 86-41 loss in a South Suburban Conference boys basketball game Jan. 17. Fourteen
players scored for North, the fourthranked team in Class 4A. Three days later, six players scored at least nine points as North cruised past Bloomington Jefferson 82-57. “We have a lot of kids who have played together for a while,” coach John Oxton said. “But we didn’t have one who developed into a superstar type. What we have are a lot of very good players, and because of that we have good depth and balance.” Lakeville North finally had all of its players available when senior forward Tyler Flack returned this month after breaking his wrist in a pre-season jamboree.

recruit missed his team’s first nine games. Even though the Panthers won them all, they missed what Flack could bring them. “He’s about 6-foot-8 and he’s an athletic kid, so that allows us to do a few more things,” Oxton said. With Flack’s return, the Panthers have three forwards 6-5 or taller – Brett Rasmussen and Ryan Saarela – who play regularly. But they’ve also been successful with a smaller lineup, using a fleet of talented guards. North’s only loss was 54-48 to No. 1ranked Eastview on Jan. 10. The
Many of those at Eagan Civic Arena had good reason to feel conflicted. Natalie Darwitz was leading her new team in a game against players she helped train. Scott Darwitz had to figure out if he could still be proud of his daughter while trying to beat her team. And Eagan fans must have wondered if they would invite bad karma by cheering against someone whose retired jersey is displayed in the building. Before long, though, everyone put aside those unsettling feelings and watched a hockey game unfold. Natalie Darwitz, one of the players who helped put Minnesota high school girls hockey on the map, returned to Eagan Civic Arena on Jan. 21. For the first time, she was there as the opposing coach as her Lakeville South team took on Eagan, her alma mater. Adding to the intrigue was her father Scott’s presence behind the other team’s bench as the Wildcats’ co-head coach. Eagan won 3-1 to gain a split in the season series between the teams (Lakeville South beat Eagan 6-0 on Dec. 10 in Lakeville). Still, it was clear that Natalie Darwitz is

Panther gymnasts hit their stride in January Lakeville North ranked fifth in Class AA BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS After being unable to reach 140 points in any competition before the holiday break, Lakeville North’s gymnastics team exceeded that figure in its first four meets in January. That didn’t happen by accident, coach Teri Homan said. Teams often use the holiday break to polish and add difficult to their routines, and they come out of it scoring higher. “It was a lot of hard work,” Homan
said. “We had a lot of meets the first part of the season, and the break gave us a chance to get in some tough practices before the second half of the season.” The Panthers, ranked fifth in Class AA, scored a season-high 144.175 points in the Lakeville North Invitational on Jan. 14. Northfield and Roseville – the top two teams in the state rankings – were first and second. “We did really well on vault and floor,” Homan said. “We’re still struggling a little on bars and beam, so we still have some work to do.” North senior Ashley Myers finished third all-around at Lakeville North Invitational with 37.75 points. The Panthers’ Ashley Nowicki, a junior, fin-
ished ninth. Myers and Nowicki are the only two North gymnasts currently competing allaround on varsity. Senior Maddy Shinn is doing two varsity events and two junior varsity events. If other all-arounders emerge, that would be fine, Homan said. But for now, she will mix and match with the lineup. “We have some eighth-graders who have been really strong for us,” she said. Homan, a science teacher at Lakeville North High School, is in her first season as the gymnastics team’s head coach. But she joined the program in the 1995-96 season as an assistant coach for Milan Mader. That was when Lakeville High School
Notebook: Legendary BV coach gets hall of fame call BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Legendary Burnsville High School coach Dick Hanson will be inducted into the Minnesota Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in March, the school learned last week. Hanson was Burnsville’s head coach for 25 years (1969-93), and his teams were 192-56-2 during that time. Burnsville won state championships in 1972, 1980, 1985, 1989 and 1991, and was a state runner-up in 1984. Current Burnsville head coach Tyler Krebs nominated Hanson for the award. Krebs, a Lakeville High School graduate, played against a Hanson-coached team in his final high school game when Burnsville defeated Lakeville 10-7 in the 1991 Prep Bowl. Hanson was a scout for the 1960 Burnsville team that won a conference championship, then joined Bob Pates’ staff as an assistant coach the following year. Hanson took over as head coach in 1969 when Pates became BHS athletic director. The BHS stadium now bears the name of both men: Dick Hanson Field at Bob Pates Stadium.
Basketball FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Panthers played Apple Valley, the other top contender for the South Suburban Conference championship, Jan. 24. The Panthers will have rematches with Eastview and Apple Valley next month. The Panthers’ 48 points against Eastview were a season low. “A lot of it

agreed with the finding. They have maintained since their daughter was injured that she was checked from behind and knocked into the boards. Privette plays for the Minnehaha Saints, a co-op girls team consisting of players from Minnehaha Academy, St. Croix Lutheran and St. Agnes.
No hit on Privette? The Minnesota State High School League’s tougher penalties for three specific hockey violations – checking from behind, boarding and contact to the head – took effect last week. Meanwhile, one player whose injury helped provide the impetus for the changes – St. Croix Lutheran senior Jenna Privette – was released from Hennepin County Medical Center. Privette, a Burnsville resident, has been moved to a private rehabilitation facility, Let’s Play Hockey reported. Shortly before announcing the tougher penalties, the MSHSL issued a report stating there was no evidence that Privette’s Jan. 6 injury resulted from an illegal hit. Privette’s parents, Dan and Penny, dis-
Mike Haugh, Eastview High School head softball coach since 2006, has resigned. Matt Percival, Eastview’s assistant principal for curriculum and athletics, said in an e-mail that Haugh stepped down so he could watch his children participate in athletics at Eagan High School. Haugh has taught math at Eastview since 2000. For the 2012 season, the existing coaching staff – Paul Hassett, Danielle Johnson, Brad McCumber, Nicole Newton and Dave Pugh, plus any other coaches the school might hire – will run the Eastview program. Hassett, McCumber and Newton will coach the varsity, Johnson will coach the junior varsity and Pugh will coach the ninth-grade team. The permanent head coaching position will be posted in June, Percival said.
was Eastview’s defense,” Oxton said. “But we did get some good shots that we missed.” Rasmussen, the Panthers’ leading scorer with a 15.4 average, had 19 in the game against Burnsville on Jan. 17, where North led 55-18 at halftime. Flack had 14 and Saarela scored 11. North jumped to a 15-point halftime lead in its Jan. 20 victory over Jefferson. Flack scored 19 points, senior guard Tyler David had 12 and senior guard Trey Heid
and Rasmussen added 10 each. Saarela and senior guard Joel Oxton scored nine points apiece. Lakeville North was 13-1 overall and tied for second in the South Suburban at 51 after beating Bloomington Jefferson. The Panthers’ depth allows them to keep pressuring opponents. “We play fullcourt man-[to-man] about 95 percent of the time,” John Oxton said. “Our depth gives us a chance to try to wear teams down a little bit.”
Eastview softball changes
dominated Minnesota high school gymnastics. Homan was on the coaching staff for seven of the Panthers’ 10 state championship teams. Bringing back those days might be difficult. For one thing, there are now two solid programs in Lakeville. Lakeville South is ranked 19th in Class AA. Also, Homan said the sport statewide is struggling with declining participation. This year North has only 14 girls out for gymnastics. “We do have a good group of young gymnasts, and we hope to increase our numbers next year,” Homan said. Lakeville North will take on Lakeville South at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, at Lakeville South.
SHORTS Free throw championship The Lakeville Council of the Knights of Columbus will hold its annual free throw shooting contest Friday, Feb. 3, at Lakeville South High School. The contest will be 6-8:30 p.m. in conjunction with a varsity basketball doubleheader between Lakeville South and Lakeville North. Boys and girls ages 10-14 as of Jan. 1, 2012, are eligible. Competition will be held in several age groups. Each contestant receives a certificate with age-group winners proceeding to district and possibly state competitions. For more information, contact Rick Peterson at 952-8984078.
North has been ranked in the top 10 in Class 4A since the season began. Oxton was asked if the 13-1 start surprised him, especially in light of Flack’s injury. “That’s hard to say,” he said. “We played a good non-conference schedule and could have stumbled a couple of times. But after Tyler got hurt, other kids stepped up and did a nice job. That’s what happens when you have a lot of good players.” North’s next game is 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at Rosemount.

Darwitz FROM PAGE 23 always welcome at the Eagan rink, even if she’s coaching the opposition. A Eagan jersey with her old No. 20 can be found on one of the walls. She scored 316 goals in 104 high school games – in other words, Darwitz averaged a hat trick a game. “A couple of my old high school teammates came to the game and they told me, ‘We don’t know who we’re supposed to cheer for. You’re our friend, but we went to Eagan,’” she said. It’s the second time she has been on the visiting team’s bench at Eagan Civic Arena. The first time was December 2009 when the U.S. women’s national team played an exhibition game against the Eagan High School boys varsity. Since the Olympics, she has gone fullspeed into a coaching career that started as an assistant with the Eagan High girls team. She was an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota before choosing a different path last summer. “She’s been traveling since she was 15 years old,” Scott Darwitz said. “At the ‘U,’ she was the recruiting coordinator and still traveling a lot. She wanted to settle down a bit, go back to school and get a degree in education. “At first she wanted to come back and coach with me, but I told her, ‘You need an identity. Take over a program and build it.’” That led Natalie Darwitz to Lakeville South, which played in the state tournament two of the last three years but needed a new head coach. Lakeville South is 15-5-1 in her first sea-
son, but Saturday’s loss to Eagan dropped the Cougars to 9-3-1 in the South Suburban Conference. That put them six points behind league-leading Lakeville North with just four games remaining. “I thought we controlled most of the pace and play in the first period, even though we were down 2-1,” Natalie Darwitz said. “[Eagan] responded in the second and third periods and we didn’t play as well. “I hope it’s a good lesson for our kids about how they have to play in the playoffs. You have to be consistent for 51 minutes.” Eagan trailed Lakeville North by five points in the SSC standings at the start of the week but had a chance to pull closer when the Wildcats played at North on Jan. 24. Junior forward Megan Wolfe, the Wildcats’ leading scorer, scored twice in the first period and assisted on Alanna Stangl’s empty-net goal with 25 seconds remaining. Ari Reid scored for in the first period for Lakeville South. Before taking the Lakeville South job, Natalie Darwitz ran the Eagan girls team’s summer program for several years. Playing against her team was “kind of fun,” Eagan senior captain Megan Juricko said. “It was almost like she was training us to beat her own team. We all love her. She spent a lot of time with us in the summer.” Father and daughter both said the coaching chess game became more interesting because each is familiar with the other’s hockey strategy. Scott Darwitz said he sees some coaching tactics that his daughter picked up from him, but “I’ll tell you what – I’ve also learned a lot from her. It’s been a pleasure to watch her all these years.”

Junkers & Repairable Wanted
By: Ali Holman, co-owner of www.coreconditioningtraining.com I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize, reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness where people have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices you make are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it be even better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary? Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end. The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you right back where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on a Lifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitably lead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.
Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”
eggs
low-fat dairy
Eggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for eggwhites for the low-cholesterol, fatburning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.
Studies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.
beans
oatmeal
Beans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans
Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.
olive oil
lean meats
Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.
Search for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.
whole grains
interval training
Our body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.
Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.
