Lakeville Area School Board Member Judy Keliher said she will attend a meeting today (Jan. 13) during which Board Chair Michelle Volk, Vice Chair Terry Lind and Board Member Kathy Lewis were to review and narrow superintendent search firm candidate applications. Keliher’s declaration came during a heated exchange with Volk during the Jan. 10 School Board meeting. Keliher and Lewis had raised transparency concerns regarding the superintendent search firm hiring process and Keliher requested changes that lacked a majority of board support. Initially, Volk and Lind were to meet at 4 p.m. today to review proposals and narrow candidate firms to two, then on Jan. 17 the full board is to interview, question and make a recommendation to administration regarding which firm to hire. The board is

Improvements to Interstate 35, local control over railcar storage and curtailing abusive public data requests are among the multiple issues Lakeville is asking lawmakers to address in 2017. The City Council agreed at a Jan. 7 retreat that its highest legislative priority is reduced congestion and improved safety on Interstate 35. City officials are asking the state to expand the interstate through Lakeville, increase transit options and beef up funding for road and highway improvements. City officials are also asking its federal delegation to promote laws to prohibit storing railcars within urbanized residential neighborhoods without written consent of the city. For years, Progressive Rail has used its freight railroad track that runs along County Road 50 and behind homes in neighborhoods as storage for inactive train cars without no local restrictions or time limit. See TRANSPORTATION, 13A

Four positions are listed as earning the highest three salaries in the city of Lakeville this year. City Administrator Jason Miller earns the highest pay at $154,924 and three other executive-level staff members earn the next-highest salary of $142,840: Lakeville Finance Director Jerilyn Erickson, Police Chief Jeff Long and Public Works Director Chris Petree. The city reported its 2017 top three employee salaries on its website, ci.lakeville.mn.us, as required by state law for any city or county with a population of more than 15,000. State law does not require school districts to post their top salaries, but District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder is the highest paid school official, with a salary of $187,278. District 194 Executive Director Tony Massaros is paid $150,279 and Executive Director of Business Services Michael Baumann earns the next-highest salary at $149,312.

Lakeville Area School Board member Michelle Volk was elected to a second term as chair on a 3-2 vote during a sometimes-heated meeting Jan. 10. Board members Judy Keliher and Kathy Lewis cast votes for Lewis as chair after she was nominated by Keliher; Board Member Jim Skelly was absent from the meeting. The board elected member Terry Lind to a second term as vice-chair by the same margin, with Keliher and Lewis also voting for Lewis in the position after Keliher nominated her. Board membership of three committees – personnel, facilities maintenance/ capital and audit were temporarily left in place by a unanimous vote with the board members serving as “acting members� until further discussion after Keliher raised multiple concerns about those committees. Keliher questioned the need for committees because of the danger of frag-

mentation of the government process. She proposed eliminating the subcommittees of the board, keeping the advisory committees and addressing more topics as an entire School Board. She also cited transparency concerns, stating the committees should be posted like any other board meeting because they are subject to the open meeting laws even though they do not have a quorum of the board attending. District 194 posts the meeting notices online at isd194.org/about/boardof-education/committees. Committee meeting minutes are distributed to School Board members, but have not been included board materials available to the public. District 194 spokeswoman Amy Olson said the meeting packet board members receive contains the script used by the superintendent and board chairwoman to run the meeting and highly detailed supporting documents, such as employee resignation letters, See SCHOOL BOARD, 5A

Dakota Electric launches outage app Dakota Electric Association has launched a free mobile app that anyone who receives electricity from the utility can use to report outages and track outage restoration progress. Users can customize the appโ s push notifications, or have updates sent through email or text messaging. The app will also notify members if their locations lose power when they are part of an outage reported by others.

โ This app removes the need for a phone call,โ control center manager John Thurmes said. โ During large outages, sometimes people canโ t get through because phone lines are tied up. This app allows them to easily report an outage in just a few seconds. No busy signals, no waiting.โ After submitting an outage report, the user will receive a confirmation that Dakota Electric received the report. Up-

dates about the outage are sent to the memberโ s phone, and the app includes an outage map that shows current outages. The user can monitor multiple accounts, such as a home, a business and a parentโ s home. The outage app is unique in that it shows the specific account location of the user and details associated with that outage. The user can also see other outages on the system, which are marked as traffic cones,

color coded by the size of outage. โ The other unique feature not found in other apps that we know of,โ Thurmes said, โ is that the app allows people to report burned out streetlights using the mobile deviceโ s GPS.โ The person only needs to stand near a burned out streetlight and with the touch of a button, Dakota Electric will be notified that the light is not working. Dakota Electric owns and serves

more than 15,000 streetlights, and the streetlight reporting function makes it easy to report which lights need attention. The app also provides a way to call Dakota Electricโ s Call Center or Control Center directly if other system issues need to be reported. Another link takes the user to the companyโ s mobile website. The app is in response to growing customer desire to receive direct out-

age notifications. Members can download the app from Google Play or the Apple Store by searching for Dakota Electric. To receive an app code โ which is needed to connect the app with the memberโ s account โ users should visit www.dakotaelectric.com and look for the outage app link under โ Quick Linksโ on the homepage.

4A January 13, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville

Opinion Session 2017: Our message to lawmakers Newspaper editorial boards across Minnesota must feel at times as if they are speaking to a brick wall when it comes to making recommendations to state lawmakers. And there is good reason for such feelings. Repeated recommendations to the Minnesota Legislature during and in the closing days of the 2016 session mostly fell on deaf ears. Repeated calls for a special session in the final six months of 2016 to take care of unfinished regular session business also fell on deaf ears. It is almost incomprehensible that lawmakers would go home without completing action on key subjects that included bonding, taxes and transportation. But yet they did after 11th-hour negotiations exploded in their faces, leaving no wiggle room for resolution. With those failures on the books, lawmakers were still unable to resolve their differences and meet in special session to take care of unfinished business.

ECM Editorial Even with the added pressure of a mutual desire by Republicans and Democrats to address a health insurance crisis, calls for a special session fell on deaf ears. Right now some 100,000 state residents face staggering health insurance premium increases on the individual market but are not eligible for federal subsidies. The past year was government dysfunction as its best, or worst, if you prefer. The opening of the 2017 session on Jan. 3 left many wondering if there would be a return to common sense governing or more of the same gridlock, 2016 style. The relationship between Gov. Mark Dayton and House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, is cool at best. And with Republicans in control of both bodies of state government, more hard lines could be drawn. On the surface, that does not

bode well for a productive session. One bright spot, however, is the rise of Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Nisswa, newly elected as Senate Majority Leader. Gazelka is a solid conservative but a man with a desire to compromise and make government function. He could be the needed bridge between Gov. Dayton and Speaker Daudt. His task will not be easy, but we believe he understands the role he may need to play. There is plenty of work to do in this session. Taking care of unfinished business from 2016 is at the top of the list. Crafting a new state budget will also spotlight differences between DFL and Republican philosophical positions on spending. Compromise on all parts will be necessary. If lawmakers make progress on tax relief, health insurance reform and transportation spending, the state’s projected $1.4 billion surplus will shrink. How to address funding levels for K-12 and higher education are important subjects that

must be debated. As an editorial board, we could set down a series of recommendations that we believe the Legislature should follow. That’s what we have done in the past. But faced with the prospect of speaking to the brick wall once again, we will delay editorial comments to a review of the actions lawmakers take in 2017. We do have one straightforward request as the session progresses. Get your work done and get your work done on time. No more 11th-hour decisions and cramming through bills which leave the public in the dark. Government in Minnesota will be best served if elected officials use the next five months to finish business on time and with the transparency that has been sadly missing. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Thank a mentor, be a mentor To the editor: Mr. Schaefer, Ruth H., Mary M. – important people in my youth who were there when I needed them. We can all think back to a time in our childhood when we depended on others for support while struggling with an important personal decision, needed a role model to provide guidance in new or uncertain situations, or simply wanted a friend to be at our side to share in the good times. January is National Mentoring Month. This month is set aside each year to spotlight the importance of mentors and the need for every child to have a caring adult in his or her life. NMM celebrates mentoring and the positive effect it can have on young lives, with the goals of raising awareness of mentoring in its various forms and to recruit mentors, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people. I’m proud to serve as vice president on the board of Kids ‘n Kinship, a local nonprofit youth mentoring organization serving southern Dakota County. We provide over 60 children, ages 5-16, primarily from single-parent homes, with the powerful opportunity to have an additional caring adult in their life through our mentor individuals, couples, or families. We continue to have a waiting list of great kids, however, and are always working to recruit more volunteer mentors. Visit our website at www.kidsnkinship.org, follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/kidsnkinship, or Twitter at twitter. com/kidsnkinship to learn more about our vibrant organization. Through a Kids ‘n Kinship mentoring relationship, a child forms a long-term friendship with a caring adult, receives positive attention and experience with a variety of activities. They develop

the sense of self-worth that is essential to successfully function in school, in healthy relationships, and, eventually, a job. Whether you choose to be a role model and friend to children in your own life or seek a more formal opportunity to connect, remember this month to honor those who served as a formal or informal mentor to you and consider the opportunity to pass the gift on to those in your own community.

A time for reflection and thanks To the editor: I love living and working in Dakota County. In my role as Xcel Energy community relations manager, I get to work with customers and local officials to help solve issues and support the organizations that make this community a great place to live and work. Our employees pledged $3 million to the United Way for 2017, a figure matched by the company for a total of $5.7 million. We continue our longtime support of Learning Buddies program through DARTS, which is celebrating 20 years of community impact. We also help with local high school scholar-

ship programs, and community celebrations such as Leprechaun Days and Eagan Funfest. In 2016, we made considerable investments in natural gas facilities, both transmission pipelines and individual services. The past year marked the end of coal operations at Black Dog Plant in Burnsville as the plant was converted to natural gas as part of Xcel Energy’s plan to transition away from coal and reduce carbon emissions. Today we are working to transform our energy future and invest in lowcost wind energy while maintaining a safe, reliable and affordable electric system for customers. As the nation’s No. 1 utility wind energy provider, we’re proposing to add more wind energy by building new wind farms in Minnesota and North Dakota. We’re building on our industryleading carbon reductions while delivering what our customers and communities want-cleaner, more renewable energy at an affordable price. We’re finding that wind energy is in some cases cheaper than natural gas, making it a great value for our customers. Sixty percent of our electricity will be carbon-free in 15 years. We see this achievement as a win for customers who want clean energy at a cost effective price. Next year we’ll con-

tinue to deliver reliable electricity, while ramping up our economic development throughout the region. We’re working with communities to identify and develop sites ready for business expansion that will create capital investment and local jobs. Thanks again, to everyone, from the businesses community to nonprofit organizations, from local government partners to friends and neighbors. I wish you all the best in 2017. JAKE SEDLACEK Xcel Energy community relations manager,

Make Minnesota great again To the editor: A discussion of greatness would have to include a good educational system, one that enables all youngsters to gain the skills necessary either to merely survive or, on the other hand, thrive with a healthy income. Part of what gives access to such education may include decent treatment by the federal tax system, whatever their income. Many middle and upper income folks have access to deductions for medical expenses, education expenses for those who can afford to send their children to a

private school, and capital gains deductions. Lowerincome earners may find it more difficult to access deductions and exemptions on their tax forms. And there is the possibility of gaining breaks for some struggling parents. For instance, the Earned Income Tax Credit lifted more than 9 million Americans out of poverty in the last year on record, and some of them are children in the south metro area. Many middle-income people have tax breaks like home mortgage deductions, education deductions for those who can afford to send their kids to private schools, and capital gains deductions. Our members of Congress know how important it is to extend that program to cover all low income people, especially those who would otherwise be taxed into poverty. Currently, single people, among others, don’t have access to many of the benefits wealthier folks have. Legislative plans to extend eligibility may provide some help. Extending EITC for childless workers would benefit 13 million hire-ons under the plan of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and 16 million employees under the plan of U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, both Democrats. We should advocate with U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, for an extension of the EITC that would benefit many residents of Dakota County. LARRY KOENCK Eagan

Nobody wins

need answering from those in attendance and why Coach Tracy Claeys lack of leadership allowed the boycott. As for his poorly worded tweet (I do not believe it was meant in any way to say sexual violence isn’t an issue or this type of behavior is OK), he should have kept silent and dealt with the issue inhouse. The tweet showed his poor leadership abilities and his losing control of his team. Had he not said anything, would we be up in arms that he was silent on the issue? Either way, the majority got their wish and he is gone. Was this handled well? No. To quote a former Gopher athlete: “Nobody wins in this scenario.” Sexual violence is wrong. What prompted me to write this letter is the self-righteous attitude expressed against the players (not the 10 charged, they can suffer whatever comes their way), coach and administration. Joe Nathan’s recent columns made some valid points from a “jaded’ point of view. People heard athletes sexually assaulted a coed at a party, then the players boycotted the Holiday Bowl in support of their teammates (without all the facts and details), then read Claeys tweet, and rushed to judgment, never trying to find out what led to the boycott or what the tweet meant. We have an entire part of our population that read and saw only what they wanted and made their judgment on that alone. Most certainly the U of M Athletic Department has a long way to go to clean up its act, athletes should be held to a higher standard of behavior as well as the coaches and administrators. Claeys is gone, let’s let the school try and clean up this and all the other messes and hope this the end of the story.

To the editor: I was disgusted by the recent findings of the investigation of the University of Minnesota football team, even if only parts of it were accurate, and I am not saying that they weren’t. Whatever went GARY HUHNERKOCH on that night was disgust- Burnsville ing and shameful for all parties involved. There are many questions that

county employee salary at $173,353. Former Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke earns the second-highest county employee salary at $163,850 as its physicial develop-

SCHOOL BOARD, from 1A bills and claims, and documentation on field trips. “We continually review our processes in our district,� Olson said. “We currently are reviewing this process to ensure we are in compliance. As part of that review, we’re analyzing what practices other districts are using and what the Minnesota School Boards Association recommends as best practice.� Some of the board’s discussion centered on personnel committee, which is served by members Lind, Bob Erickson and Volk. Dissension arose after Lind said the District Office requested the board establish a personnel committee. “There’s obviously a lot of things that the District Office recommends that is not supported by board members,� Keliher said. She said representation on the subcommittees is supposed to be representative of the entire board, but her voice is not represented on them. Keliher suggested issues now undertaken in those committees need to be discussed by the entire board and if quicker response is needed, an ad hoc committee could be formed.

Lind said the committee members do not make decisions, minutes are sent to the whole board and then presented for action. Erickson said Keliher is implying that Personnel Committee members provide direction when the majority of the recommendations the committee deals with are brought to them from Tony Massaros, District 194 administrative services executive director individually or with Superintendent Lisa Snyder. Lewis said there are three issues: following the recommendations, better information-sharing and broader representation, and lack of turnover on committees. She suggested the board consider changing committee membership so each member can have experience in a range of issues. Lewis advocated for returning to having two main working board committees, personnel and building and sites, and forming other committees as needed. Volk said she agreed the committees should remain as standing committees, because they help administration “get things done.� She cited concerns if they were disbanded they would add to the board’s

already long and frequent meetings. “We’re already running into work sessions that are lengthy,� Volk said. “We’re already calling a meeting for another work session because of all the topics that we have to discuss. Some of these things are pretty timely and need to be done.� Volk said consistency of membership versus ad hoc and having to readdress or re-educate someone new can be difficult. “Having consistency for the administration on a yearly basis of whoever those three members are would be helpful for the production of the committee,� Volk said. Erickson said the real issue the members raised is who is serving on those three committees, “more than the justification for whatever we’re attempting to modify change or whatever.� He said the majority of the board has offered their viewpoints on the issue, both at this meeting and the Dec. 20 work session, and when the topic returns for a second reading, the board members can make decisions then.

Helping hand has lasting impact District 196 board member says a first-impression of American kindness motivates him today by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When a 19-year-old Sachin Isaacs arrived at the Amtrak train depot in Winona, Minnesota, in 1999, the two suitcases he had brought from India had been jostled around so much during the ride from Chicago that they had burst open and scattered his clothes. Isaacs admits that it was a pathetic sight, which was compounded when the emigrating college student’s ride didn’t show up and he didn’t have anyone else to call. After Isaacs sat at the station for about an hour as the clock neared midnight, the only other person there – the station master ready to close up for the night – approached him. Isaacs explained as best he could, being fairly new to the English language, that he was in America for this first time on a student visa and his ride hadn’t arrived to take him to Winona State University. He said the only contact he had had with the school was through dean Mary Thorn. The station master cracked open local phone book, found seven Thorns, but no Mary. The worker started with the first Thorn on the list and called four more Thorns before finding Mary and her husband, Buzz, on the other end of the line. In the middle of the night, Mary and Buzz Thorn drove their pickup truck to the station, placed Isaacs’ two tattered bags in the back and ferried him off to the only dormitory that was open at the time. “That one gesture has impacted me for a lifetime,� said Isaacs, the newest member of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board. “She didn’t know me. She picked me up at a very late hour and possibly influenced the trajectory of my life as a human being by that one act.�

Sachin Isaacs, the newest Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board member, was elected during the primary election in 2016. He plans to spend a day in all of the district’s 31 schools during the academic year.

He said the symbolism of that is important. “Young people should be able to look at positions of leadership and see that diversity,� Isaacs said. As a first-generation immigrant, Isaacs said he will bring a different way of thinking to board discussions. His perspective of many times being the only minority in a classroom or even an entire town, as was the case in the small Wisconsin town he spent his college summers at, he says will result in better policymaking. “The robustness of the discussion will result in better outcomes for our children,� he said. When Isaacs was growing up in India, he was being groomed to work in the successful retail industry business that was owned by his father. But Isaacs said he wanted to do something different. That’s when he embarked on his quest to become an American college student, where he landed at Winona State. The school had made the best scholarship offer, which he had to earn to keep by maintaining a high gradepoint average. In school, he met his future wife, earned a bachelor’s degree in business and went on to receive a Master of Business Administration from the University of St. Thomas. He said his view of numbers through the lens of economics will allow him to see the story behind the statistics and strategies to address problems. The senior product manager of clinical assessments at NCS Pearson is the only School Board member with children currently in district schools. His oldest daughter is a first-grade student at Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Sciences and his youngest is still in preschool. He said this will also See ISAACS, 7A

ISAACS, from 6A bring a different perspective as a parent whose children are on the receiving end of instruction. He also has the perspective of a parent who recently made the choice to move into District 196 because of the schools. He said it was the district’s triple A philosophy of educating students well-rounded in the arts, athletic and academics that attracted them. To see the AAA in action, Isaacs is on a quest to spend a day in every district school in the 2016-17 calendar year. He had visited six out of 31 as of mid-December. He said so far he’s been impressed with the learner-

centered environment in the classrooms with a non-commoditized of imparting education that finds the best way for each student to learn. “One of the things I have seen is the personal investment,â€? he said. “I have been deeply impressed at the personal accountability that our teachers take for each of their kids. ‌ It shows the amount of depth of caring that educators have and the responsibility they feel in trying to make each one of our kids live up to their fullest potential.â€? Isaacs said he’s hoping the kinds of successful strategies and efforts being made by teachers become shared throughout the district. As one example he saw four English composition stu-

dents working on a joint writing project where each student wrote a part of a larger work. While each student had to write their own piece, that had to collaborate in real time using Google Docs to ensure the different pieces worked together as a whole. “This shows the students that critical thinking is a process and used not just in science or mathematics,â€? Isaacs said. “Projects like this, this is excellence, this is a world-class education. ‌ This gives our students global readiness to go out in the world with a competitive advantage.â€?

Two charged in Eagan robbery The Eagan Police Department has made two arrests in connection with a robbery Jan. 3 at Northview Park. Mohamed Bue Radwan, of St. Paul, was arrested Jan. 5 and charged with aggravated robbery in the first degree, according to the Eagan Police Department. Another male from St. Paul was arrested and charged with the same crime. The police did not release the name of the 17-year-old male. Investigators from the Eagan Police Department have identified a third suspect in this case but did not release the suspect’s identity. There is no reason to believe there is an ongoing threat to the public.

Officers initially responded to a report of juveniles who said they were robbed at gunpoint in a parking lot just northwest of Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School. According to the Police Department, two 15-year-old victims and a 16-year-old victim said they were involved in an attempted drug exchange when one of three suspects pointed a gun at them and demanded valuables. Eagan police spokesman Aaron Machtemes said the suspects came away with some items from the victims. An unidentified caller, not one of the victims, made the initial contact with police.

2017 Tips for realizing goals Get to the truth about in the year ahead dieting and weight loss The dawn of a new year represents a chance to start anew and set goals for the months ahead. New Year’s resolutions are often made to provide the motivation people need to improve their lives and make a new year as productive and happy as possible. While people who make New Year’s resolutions fully intend to realize those goals, few actually stick to the game plan. According to researchers at the University of Scranton, just 8 percent of people who make their New Year’s resolutions actually achieve those resolutions. While that might make it seem like the odds are against men and women who have resolved to improve their lives in the year ahead, the following tips can help adults realize their goals for the new year and beyond. - Emphasize time management. Hectic schedules can quickly derail resolutions. Many people want to eat healthier and exercise more but find their time is stretched pretty thin, which can make it difficult to get to the gym or prepare healthy meals at home. Finding ways to manage time more effectively can make it easier to stay committed to New Year’s resolutions. Right down your daily schedule and look for ways to free up time. If you routinely take an hour for lunch each day, use that time to exercise and eat at your desk when you return from your walk, workout or jog. Try to wake up 30 to 60 minutes earlier each morning to exercise, and make use of time before bed by preparing a healthy lunch for the following day. - Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your intention to improve your life, you’re putting some positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your goal. Friends and loved ones can be great sources of support, and once they’re aware of your efforts, you likely won’t want to let them down. Once you have decided on a resolution, post your short-term and long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals in person. Their encouragement can help you stay on track, and they may even offer to help you realize your goals.

- Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions journal or start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your progress. That spreadsheet might be more motivational than simply seeing a loan or credit card balance gradually reduce on your monthly statement. Writing about your trials and errors can help others and also provide a great way for you to explore your approach and tinker with it to ensure your ultimate success. - Expect setbacks. If realizing resolutions was easy, the success rate would be greater than 8 percent. Setbacks are inevitable, so don’t allow them to derail your efforts. Even if setbacks occur when you’re well on your way to success, regroup and get back on track without getting down on yourself. - Reward yourself. Don’t hesitate to reward yourself as you realize your short-term goals and draw closer to making your long-term goal a reality. For example, if weight loss is your goal and you’ve adhered to your diet and lost some weight, reward yourself with a favorite meal eaten in moderation. New Year’s resolutions may be difficult to realize, but a few simple strategies can help you achieve your goals and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Weight loss is a popular resolution come the new year. But in spite of that popularity, the resolution to lose weight is no small task. When resolving to lose weight, men and women will encounter an abundance of information about dieting and weight loss. It’s difficult to know who to believe and to determine which plans will be effective. Research published by Shape magazine says nearly one in three young people embark on a new diet each month, but 45 percent give up after one week, and about half abandon their goals within a month. Data released in the Daily Mail in 2013 said that although one in seven (13 percent) women in the United Kingdom stick to a diet for 13 weeks or more, nearly one in five (19 percent) succumb to their favorite food cravings after a month. What’s the magic formula for weight loss? Experts advise that there isn’t any. Weight-loss strategies that require fad dieting or restrict certain foods may not produce long-term success. Rather, a lifestyle overhaul is often the most effective weight loss strategy. - Recognize that quick fixes do not work. Drastic weight loss approaches may produce immediate results, but such plans are not sustainable. Drastic plans include certain detoxes and cleanses; diets that eliminate all but a few foods; some prepackaged foods; and food-replacement strategies. Feelings of deprivation or boredom may make people following these diets unsuccessful in the long run. Losing weight means changing one’s food and exercise plans over the long haul. - Eat in regular intervals. Researchers at the National Weight Control Registry offer that spacing food evenly throughout the day is the key

son’s body ages, his or her metabolism will change. Men and women should revisit their recommended caloric intake every few years. In addition, men and women can routinely revisit their exercise routines to determine the efficacy of those routines and alter their workouts to reflect the physical changes their bodies are going through as they age. A person’s first step before dieting or attempting to lose weight should be to consult their physician, who can help men and women achieve their weight loss goals in a way that’s healthy and easy to maintain for years to come.

Sports Panthers are positioned as state tourney contenders North girls on 5-game winning streak by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North girls basketball coach Shelly Clemons has a bit of a dilemma, although it’s one she – and the Panthers – have some time to solve. Clemons wants to develop a strong bench. The top reserves have ability, she said; what they don’t have is a lot of varsity experience. So, why not just start running them into games? Because, the coach said, she’s having a hard time justifying pulling starters that are playing well. The starting five – seniors Temi Carda, Caitlin Peterson and Olivia Bruce, and juniors Ke James and Taylor Brown, have guided North to an 11-2 start. The Panthers are solidly in the race for first place in the South Suburban Conference, a league that has three teams in the top seven of the state Class 4A rankings. “Those five starters are high-level basketball players,” Clemons said.

“They’re all going to play college sports. They’ve played on strong AAU teams like North Tartan. Two of our three seniors have been around here since eighth grade. We have a lot of confidence in them. “We think we’re pretty strong one through eight, but the three players coming off the bench for us right now are in their first season on the varsity. They’re very good players. They just need a little more experience. But our top five girls are playing so well right now.” The seventh-ranked Panthers have been able to get reserves Analiese Tschida, Lauren Jensen and Kari Macura on the court enough that each is averaging at least four points a game and has scored in double figures at least once. Jensen led the Panthers with 20 points in an 81-57 victory over Prior Lake on Tuesday. The Panthers had little trouble in victories against Chanhassen and Rochester Mayo at the Rotary U.S. Bank Tournament in Rochester over the holidays, then returned to the court last Friday and won 55-43 at Rosemount.

Rosemount, which has played in the Class 4A, Section 3 championship game the last two years, features a prolific scorer in senior guard Maddy Olson, who’s averaging 20.3 points a game and has scored as many as 39 this season. The Panthers held her to 11 points, tying Olson’s season low. Carda, who leads North in scoring with a 16-point average, sacrificed some of her offense to shadow Olson, Clemons said. “Temi is probably our strongest player,” the coach said. “She tried to force Maddy to put it on the floor, not let her have that quick, open look, which I think is Maddy’s strength.” Brown, a 6-foot-2 junior with perimeter skills, led North with 16 points and James, a strong post player, scored 14. Carda had 10 points and Bruce had nine. North was able to get the ball inside as well as make some three-pointers. That inside-outside philosophy is central to the Panthers’ offense, Clemons said. James (6-2) has scored 22 points twice in the last three games and has proven tough to stop if she gets the ball near the

(Photo by Jim Lindquist/sidekick.smugmug.com) basket. If North can force teams to move their defenders closer to the basket, it leaves more room for the perimeter shooters – and Carda, a Creighton University recruit, has the vision to find them. On Monday, Lakeville North beat Shakopee 57-39 to improve to 3-1 in conference play. James had 22 points and Carda 16 to lead the Panthers, who pulled away with a 37-point second half.

Going into Tuesday’s play, Prior Lake, Eastview and Apple Valley were tied for the conference lead at 3-0. North has games remaining with all three, so the Panthers still control their fate in the conference race. But Clemons said she believes the team is strong enough – and eventually will be deep enough – to do more than push for a conference championship. The Panthers reached the

state tournament last year but lost to Eastview in the Class 4A quarterfinals. “We want to get to the state tournament again, but we don’t want to just be there,” the coach said. “We’d like to make it to the semifinals, maybe have a chance to play in the championship game.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Lakeville South hockey moving up in SSC standings Cougar boys win two games coming out of holiday break by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As compressed as high school sports seasons can be, going nearly two weeks without playing a game seems almost unthinkable. Lakeville South’s boys hockey team not only thought about it, but did it – and the Cougars believe they will be better off because of it. The Cougars played 10 games in 27 days from Nov. 27 through Dec. 22, but was one of a minority of metro-area teams that didn’t play in a holiday tournament. South didn’t have its 11th game until Jan. 3, a 3-1 victory at Buffalo. South defeated Farmington 4-0 last Saturday and improved to 8-3-1 overall. Lakeville South is 5-2 in the South Suburban Conference going into its game Thursday against Lakeville North at Hasse Arena. The winner would assume first place in a bunched conference race. “It was nice to get a good break because we had so many games up front,” said senior defenseman Josh Ess, a South captain. “To come out here and get two good wins

Twohour practices, a break here and there. We wanted them to be together a lot and grow as a family,” coach A.J. Bucchino said. “On the ice, we just want them to get better. Systems primarily, but we also gave them a lot of individual skill work.” Lakeville South came out of the holiday break

playing stingy defense, not only in terms of goals allowed, but shots allowed. The Cougars held Buffalo to one goal on 14 shots. Farmington had just 16 shots on goal Saturday, none of which got past South goalie Isaiah DiLaura. “It was nice to beat these guys in their home rink after they knocked us out of the sections last year,” Ess said following the Farmington game. “It was a nice response by the guys and a fun time.” Ess, a University of Wisconsin recruit, had

a goal and two assists against Farmington. As for the emphasis on defense, Bucchino said, “we definitely want to protect first, attack second because we know if we protect we’ll have possession more and be able to create offense. We have a very strong blue line, a very strong goalie who’s reliable, and then our forwards are buying into the position game without the puck in our own zone.” As part of the team’s commitment to defense, Bucchino moved junior Jack Olsen, one of the

North gymnasts score 147.7 No. 1-ranked Panthers sweep top 4 all-around places at Farmington by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North gymnasts took the top two places in each of the four events, swept the top four all-around spots and scored a season-high 147.7 points in a victory at Farmington on Tuesday night. A different gymnast won each individual event for the Panthers, ranked first in Class AA. Anna Altermatt, a ninth-grader, scored 9.55 on balance beam to win that event; she also was the all-around winner with 37.5. Ninthgrader Ashley Goodlund won on floor exercise with 9.425. Delaney Gipp, a junior, was first on uneven bars with 9.65 and ninth-grader Rachel Steiner took first on vault with 9.55. The Panthers’ Goodlund (37.125), Steiner (36.45) and Gipp (36.425) were second through fourth in the allaround. Farmington scored 139 points, a season high. The Tigers were not in the top 25 in last week’s state coaches association Class AA rankings, although that might change this week. Tigers ju-

nior Lauren Slayton scored 36.175 to place fifth in the all-around. Slayton also took third on floor with 9.325. Farmington senior Amanda Davenport was third on vault with 9.25. Lakeville North’s Altermatt was second on bars (9.525) and vault (9.425). Gipp was runner-up on beam with 9.4 and Steiner took second on floor with 9.425. Goodlund was third on bars (9.45) and beam (9.2). Lakeville North will be host of the annual Lakeville Invitational on Saturday, with competition beginning at 9 a.m. The meet will feature the state’s two No. 1 teams – Lakeville North from Class AA and Detroit Lakes from Class A. Also among the teams scheduled to compete are Roseville, ranked fourth in Class AA, and Cambridge-Isanti, ranked, seventh. Lakeville South (ranked ninth in Class AA), Eastview and Prior Lake will represent the South Suburban Conference, along Lakeville North’s Indya Volk with North. competes on floor exercise during the Panthers’ victory Email Mike Shaughnessy at at Farmington on Tuesday mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com. night.

team’s most skilled players, back to defense after he started the season at forward. South’s defensemen still get plenty of freedom to join the attack; three of the team’s top five scorers (Ess, Olsen and Sam Malinski) are defensemen. Olsen “started up top, and then we decided it was best for the team to bring him back on the blue line,” Bucchino said. “One thing about Jack is, he embraces any responsibility. He’s a special player because we can put him in a lot of places and rely on him. Jack, as well as all of our ‘D’, is very capable of creating offense and being that fourth attacker up the ice. We give him the green light if he feels it’s a good risk to take.” The Cougars could move Olsen back to defense because they still had plenty of solid forwards, including seniors Bradley Golant (eight goals and a team-high 15 points), Joey Novak (a team-leading nine goals), Cory Checco (seven goals) and William Moore. “We have a lot of good players on this team,” Bucchino said. “Regardless of if the lines change, or if they don’t, when guys are getting the opportunity, they’re taking advantage of it.” During the holiday practices, the coaches stressed the need for a

consistent work ethic, and Bucchino and Ess said the message appears to have been received. “We can’t just use our skill. We need to work hard,” Ess said. “If we keep working, then our skill can overcome the other team.” Jake Oelrich, Novak and Ess scored first-period goals against Farmington (4-7 overall, 2-4 conference). Golant scored in the second period. South had 10 power plays, scoring on three, and outshot Farmington 50-16. South now turns its attention to the upcoming game against North. Bucchino said the Cougars have to prepare the same way they would prepare for any other game, while acknowledging that will be difficult to accomplish. “We want to show up every night no matter who we’re playing,” the coach said. “The hype around you is there, but ultimately it’s up to the players how it turns out. Our preparation won’t change, it’s just a little bit of external distraction that will change.” “It is a big game, but we have to treat it like any other game,” Ess said. “We can’t fall away from our plan.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

SEARCH, from 1A expected to award the contract at its Jan. 24 meeting. After concerns were raised, Lewis was also invited to attend the meeting to review applications. Conversation between Keliher and all board members present except Lewis was heated at times. Board Member Jim Skelly was absent. Volk said Keliher could attend and observe, but not provide input to avoid an open meeting violation and because she was not the third person chosen by the board to attend the meeting. “At this point the issue is done,â€? Volk said. Keliher immediately responded, “I will be there as well because I feel my input is important,â€? she said. “And I don’t understand how this board can shut down a board member from making ‌â€? Volk interrupted Keliher, but Keliher spoke over Volk and asked Lind if he was going to be at the meeting or if she could attend in his position. Open meeting law requires special public notiTRANSPORTATION, from 1A The storage has frustrated neighbors who have complained of declining property values, visual blight and raised safety concerns. Railroads are regulated by the federal Interstate Commerce Law and the state has limited powers regarding them; there are no regulations for stored freight cars. Progressive Rail has improved communications by informing the public of times when trains will block intersections and has at times removed graffiti on its cars at the request of the city, but still continues to park its trains on the rail line. Another issue included in the legislative platform seeks the restriction of “abusive or harassingâ€? public data requests.

fication of a special meeting three days in advance, and if a quorum is present, the meeting must be open to the public. Lind said Skelly had made the suggestion regarding the search firm process at the board’s Dec. 20 meeting and there had been no disagreement. “I was asked to do it,� Lind said. “I’m going to follow through with that.� Erickson said to Lind, “We want you there.� In a loud voice, Keliher made a disparaging comment about Skelly’s meeting attendance and asked Erickson to stop meeting with the superintendent and recruiting principals (for the superintendent position). In an interview, Erickson said he has just been encouraging people he knows have proper licensing to apply for the position. Volk loudly interrupted Keliher: “Stop,� Volk said to Keliher. “Stop right now. Stop. This is getting out of line. We have a business meeting to conduct and we are professionals and let’s just stay that way please. Thank you.�

During the meeting, Volk said Keliher may come and observe, but may have no input if she is not the third person chosen. Volk said there are not many firms left that offer these types of services and guessed there would not be more than three firms that submit proposals. Lewis and Keliher opposed the process, which included board members submitting criteria online they deemed important in a search firm to be considered by Volk and Lind as they review applications, and called for changes. Keliher advocated for a timeline and meetings to be set. Calling hiring a superintendent “one of the most fundamental responsibilities of a school board,� Lewis said it is important for transparency to have all voices heard in the hiring process. “I do not mean this comment as disrespect or not having faith in the board chair of vice-chair making this decision,� Lewis said. “It’s more the idea that this is truly the responsibility of the board

as a whole.� Volk noted the tight timeline and said the board discussed and agreed to the process at its Dec. 20 work session. Lewis said any board member who is available should attend the meeting to review applications, and Keliher agreed. She said nine firms responded six years ago, the last time they conducted a superintendent search. “I think it’s critical that every single board member at least be invited to the table to participate,� Keliher said, calling it “demeaning� that Volk sought advice from the administration regarding the process instead of she and Lewis because they have been through a superintendent hiring process before. Tony Massaros, executive director of administrative services, said he recommended the search firm hiring process to Volk because of the tight timeframe to move the process forward. “We do need to let these firms know, some of which are potentially out-of-state, that they are expected to be here at 6

o’clock (in the evening) next Tuesday,� Massaros said. “That’s really the driving force here.� Erickson said he could agree to expanding it to three board members, but did not want to open it to all School Board members, noting there will be ample opportunities for public involvement and input in future meetings. Lind also supported limiting three board members at the meeting and said they do not want to delay the process. After the video cameras went off, Keliher got into an argument with Erickson, who responded and then walked away. He briefly met with administrators briefly and left the meeting. In an interview, Keliher said the majority of her concerns are that all board members have opportunity to be involved, provide input and so the community has the opportunity to hear what they are saying. Volk said she interrupted Keliher because she was saying things about other board members without proof.

She said Keliher is making the assumption her voice is not heard, but Volk said the dialogue that goes on in the subcommittee level takes into account the wishes of the board as a whole. “I can honestly say, and I’m on the Personnel Committee, that we think about the whole board,� Volk said. She said there is a lack of trust between board members and also disagreement as to how to address them. Volk said she needs to have a meeting set aside just for airing differences, but three members are not willing to do that at this point. She said some board members do not want the meeting to be public and others do not want the meeting in a closed session as law allows. “My next step is to work on the perception of us not being transparent,� she said. “We’ll see if the board can come to some agreement on what’s transparent.�

City Administrator Justin Miller said the issue is affecting numerous cities throughout the state. He said Lakeville has received “pretty onerous� requests, some in relation to criminal cases. “They use the Data Practices Act sometimes to maybe circumvent the discovery process through a criminal complaint,� Miller said. “We get requests from people involved in complaints and they ask for a bunch of information they think might help their associate with their case.� He said local municipalities are required to review the data it releases to ensure the city is not releasing private information. “Nobody’s trying to say that we shouldn’t provide public information,� Miller said. “It’s just that the

way the current law is written, you have to provide it in an electronic form and you can’t charge for the staff time it takes to comb out public and non-public data.� He said some cities have had to process large data requests that are produced but never picked up. “That’s the harassment part of this,� Miller said. “They just want to make the cities go through this effort to do it and then they either lose interest or they just don’t come and get it.� Miller said the law should limit “extremely burdensome� requests. Minnesota’s Data Practices Act requires cities to provide public access to inspect all “data collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated by any government entity regardless of its physical

form, storage media or conditions of use.� Cites are also required to keep records containing government data in an arrangement and condition so they are easily accessible for convenient use and allows any person seeking access be allowed to inspect and copy public government data. Mark Anfinson, Minnesota Newspaper Association attorney, said municipalities’ concerns are legitimate, noting that electronic records result in large-scale data requests, such as a year or more worth of emails involving multiple individuals. He said it can be “brutal� for staff to go through and determine if any protected information is included in the large amounts of information released. “It’s an expensive and

slow process,� he said. “In part because there are very few people who have a sufficiently sophisticated knowledge of the Data Practices Act and all of the legal classifications that exist in Minnesota to do that examination and inspection process.� Anfinson said the problem is there is no easy way to define what is an “excessively burdensome� or “harassing� data request. He said leaving the interpretation to government gives them “an enormous amount of discretion that would certainly be abused,� leading to improper denials that ultimately erode Minnesota’s historic commitment to allowing easy and cheap public access to government records. “If you give a considerable degree of discretion to governmental officials

in deciding if something is harassing or overly burdensome or an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, there are just going to be a lot of cases where access is going to be improperly denied,� Anfinson said. “The consequence of that is access will almost never occur because the requester who is turned down, what’s the option? File a lawsuit? In 99 percent of the time, that option is cost-prohibitive. “Until we can figure out a better formula, MNA’s position very firmly is we can’t enact standards in law to deal with this problem that leave much discretion to public officials, or that in itself will become a big problem.�

Barbara Taylor Clausen-Duncan (Dec. 17, 1940 - Dec. 31, 2016) Barbara Duncan passed away on December 31. A life-long elementary teacher, mother, wife, animal lover, and friend. She was born in Emporia, KS, and was raised in Manhattan, KS where she received her early education. Her father taught Agriculture classes at Manhattan High School, and she accompanied him and students to 4-H fairs all over the country. She became an expert judge of all farm animals including chickens, goats, cows, hogs, and horses. She developed a keen eye for animal structure and conformation. Before she was 12 years old, she’d been to all 48 states continental U.S. Barbara was an accomplished cellist and played with the Manhattan Symphony Orchestra and the Kansas State University Orchestra. She was graduated from Kansas State University in 1961. She was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. She maintained life-long relationships with her Kappa sisters from 1959 to the present. Barbara was a ¿QDOLVW LQ WKH 0LVV .DQVDV SDJHDQW DV SDUW RI WKH 0LVV America pageant performing a cello solo for the talent event. In the late 1970’s, she attended St. Thomas UniverVLW\ DQG UHFHLYHG KHU 0DVWHUœV GHJUHH LQ WKH EXGGLQJ ¿HOG of Information Technology. Barbara taught school for 40 years in Kansas, Texas, England and most recently at Cedar Park Elementary School in Apple Valley, where she implemented an introductory personal computer education program in the 1980’s, long before computer use was as pervasive as it is today. For 3 years, when she was in England, she taught servicemen’s children at a US Air Force Base. She travelled extensively throughout England and the European continent. As a hobby, she did numerous brass rubbings at various cathedrals in England. In England, she embarked on still another interest: Breeding, training, and showing German shepherd dogs. Her experience as a young person in judging animals served her well in her dog breeding and showing endeavors. She had a keen eye for German shepherd dog structure and movement. She and her husband, Haines Clausen, started the Keylis German Shepherd Kennel. They bred over 20 AKC champion dogs including two AKC Select Dogs with the added distinction of Award of Excellence for herding trials. From their bloodline they owned Jecoda Keylis Jest N’ Thyme which was the U.S. German Shepherd Grand Victrix in 2002. Several other of the Keylis bloodline were invited and shown in the Eukanuba National dog show and the Westminster Kennel dog show in Madison Square Garden.

Thisweekend Story of cycling champion revisited in brothers’ book ‘Major Taylor’ co-author to speak Jan. 17 at Robert Trail Library by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Though he’s no longer a household name, Marshall “Major� Taylor was among the world’s most popular athletes in his heyday more than a century ago. Two Twin Cities area brothers, Conrad Kerber and Terry Kerber, have chronicled the life of the champion cyclist — including the African-American athlete’s many encounters with discrimination in the predominantly white sport — in their book “Major Taylor.� Terry Kerber is set to speak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library as part of the ongoing “Meet the Author� series presented by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Admission is free to the talk. He spoke with this newspaper recently about the genesis of the book and why he and his brother found the story of Taylor so compel-

ling. Q: Why was the story of Major Taylor one you wanted to tell? A: We Terry Kerber wanted to tell the Major Taylor story because when we delved into his history and that of early bicycle racing in general, 18901910, we couldn’t believe how much money those athletes made and how popular the sport was. It was a regular occurrence to have 30,000-50,000 fans pay to watch Taylor race. As early as 1899, when Taylor was only 21 years old, he was turning down more money for three months than Ty Cobb made in baseball 16 years later. In the years 1903-1904 Taylor made between $40,000 and $50,000. To put this in context, Babe Ruth did not sign a $20,000 contract until 1920. We were fascinated to

learn Taylor turned ed down enormous sums ms of money because as a devout Christian n he refused to race on n Sundays. Q: You co-au-thored the book with h your brother, Con-rad. How did you divide up the research and writing? A: My brother did most of the writing and I did most of the research. Since much of the content came to us from France and Germany, we had to have that material translated into English before we could even read it. It was quite a process, taking over five years to complete. Q: You and your brother are both senior partners at a Twin Cities investment firm. How did you come to write a book about a sports great of yesteryear?

A: Conrad and I both enjoy cycling, history and writing. One day while searching online for an antique bicycle I saw a sound-bite article on Taylor and shared

it with Conrad. We were both h hooked and obssessed with how tthis story never h hit the radar iin the genre of aall-time greatest aathlete stories. W We hope to see a major motion pi picture made on hi his life someday — he certainly de deserves to be be better known. Q: Was com competitive cyclin cling considerably dif different in Major Tay Taylor’s era than it is today, in terms of equipment, trac tracks, or speeds? A: Competitive cycl cycling during Taylor’s era was a differen ferent sport. What comes to mind to most people is the Tour de France or long-distance, multi-day races with teams competing. In Taylor’s day, the sport was track racing on out-

door or indoor velodromes, which were found in most major cities worldwide. Taylor and the other cyclists were famous sprinters — which meant short races from a half-mile to two miles in length. Traveling at 40plus mph on steeply banked tracks was fast, dangerous and deadly. Between 1890 and 1927 at least 47 racers were killed on velodrome tracks and many others seriously wounded and no longer able to earn their livelihood. Because Taylor was AfricanAmerican, there was much animosity toward him and his competitors often threatened his life — literally. Q: Do you have any other book projects in the works? A: No other books in the works — it would be very hard to find another subject as interesting as the life of Major Taylor. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.
