Accusations flew among Lakeville Area School Board members during a heated exchange at the end of a long meeting Tuesday. Numerous issues never publicly discussed were raised, including claims by board members Kathy Lewis and Judy Keliher

that Superintendent Lisa Snyder submitted her resignation last month after learning from Board Chair Michelle Volk that Snyder did not have support of the board to renew her contract. Volk denied accusations she forced Snyder to resign, which arose during Tuesday’s discussion of board leadership for 2017. District administration members had been dismissed by Volk before the board discussed the Lakeville Area School Board Member Kathy Lewis makes a point during a Tuesday superintendent search and meeting when members debated what led to the resignation of Superintendent Lisa Snyder.

In six years, Lakeville Mayor Matt Little has made history three times. He became Lakeville’s youngest City Council member in 2010. Four years ago, he beat two contenders to become the city’s youngest mayor at 27 years old. And this fall, by 387 votes, Little became the first DFLer elected in Senate District 58 in about 30 years. Asked what that upset means to the Democratic Party, Little, now 32, described his win as a “huge victory,� not for Democrats, but to show the state of Minnesota winning does not have to be about party affiliation “if your issues are right and people know and trust you.�

After 25 years of public service in Lakeville, City Council Member Kerrin Swecker said goodbye to public service at her last council meeting Dec. 19. Swecker choked up at times as she looked into the audience filled with friends and family members. “You’ve given up a lot for the years I’ve been missing,� Swecker said. She recalled how she missed her daughter’s 12th birthday party when she was a reserve officer because she was called to “guard a puddle� after a storm downed an electrical line in the street. “I missed her birthday party that we were hosting a bunch of 12-year-olds at our house,� Swecker said,

The Lakeville Area School Board agreed at its Dec. 20 meeting to hire a consultant to find a new superintendent. The district plans to issue a request for information to select a firm by Jan. 23 and hire a new leader before Superintendent Lisa Snyder’s last day, June 30. The request for proposals from search firms is to be issued Jan. 6 with a deadline for submitting proposals Jan. 13. Board members plan to review proposals at their Jan. 17 meeting with a selection expected at their Jan. 24 meeting. The superintendent search is expected to begin in February. Board Member Terry Lind suggested conducting an internal process before expanding it to encourage promoting from within, calling it “respectful� before going outside the district seeking candidates. Board Member Judy Keliher said they should do one search and find the best candidate. Board Member Kathy Lewis said an internal search could create competition and possibly sore feelings between colleagues. She said a broader search gives internal candidates more validation among peers that they are the best choice for the position. She said an internal-only search could create polarization and “split the district� and divide the community between candidates. Lewis said the district in the past has had good employees leave because they did not get a position. After considerable discussion, board members agreed to conduct a regional search and let all candidates apply. Based on prior searches, the board indicated the process will include compiling a list of qualifications and desired skills in the superintendent, and involve obtaining input from multiple groups, including staff, the public and district administration.

Eagan firefighters rescue drowning dogs Crew uses neighborโ s canoe to bring dogs to safety by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Residential houses are along part of the lake. Both dogs were returned home safe to their owners thanks to firefightersโ efforts. The dogs were covered in blankets and towels and were able to walk back to their owners on their own. They didnโ t need any medical attention. โ Itโ s not a call we normally get, but we all train for it,โ Schellinger said. โ Itโ s a skill we donโ t necessarily want to use, but weโ re prepared for when it happens.โ The department has a truck with equipment for water rescue, but the truck on the scene was closer at the time. Although itโ s gotten colder since the incident, Schellinger recommends reviewing the Department of Natural Recourses for ice conditions and considering this information before letting dogs off a leash near water. โ They have good information on whether itโ s safe to go out on the lake,โ Schellinger said.

The ice on lakes might look strong to run around on, but caution is required, even for a dog. The Eagan Fire Department was called to rescue two dogs that went through the ice on East Thomas Lake the around 8 a.m. Dec. 8. The dogs were in about 5 to 6 feet of open water and were starting to go under. At the time, the ice on the lake was just starting to get thick around the shoreline, but it was open water about 10 feet out. โ We had a crew of three firefighters who found a canoe from one of the neighbors,โ said T.C. Schellinger, Eagan fire captain. โ They grabbed life jackets and rope from the truck and found Email Andy Rogers a couple poles and grabbed the andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. dogs.โ

Talk about mental illness

Voice For HEALTH

Dakota County Public Health effort aims to get people help, reduce suicide rate by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dakota County Public Health is making a concerted effort to remove the stigma that surrounds talking about mental illness and suicide. In the past few months, the agency with longtime adolescent health coordinator Shannon Bailey leading the effort to get conversations started about mental illness and suicide has conducted “Make It OK� training throughout Dakota County. Facilitators have spoken to groups like Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District social workers, school nurses, South St. Paul-MendotaHeights-Eagan school officials and Lakeville South staff members. “My goal from a public health perspective is to inform key community leaders on the mental health evidence-based best practices so their agencies can incorporate strategies into their policies and practices,� Bailey said. “Educating people on the signs and symptoms of mental illnesses is important but we can’t stop there.� Last Thursday, Bailey spoke with the One Rosemount leaders group that includes representatives from local schools, churches and civic groups. “I would like to continue the conversation on how to promote mental health and suicide prevention with each leader and their agencies,� Bailey said after the meeting. Mental illness has been identified by Dakota County Public Health and every other public agency in the metro area as the No. 1 priority in their most recent five-year assessments of the top issues to address. It ranked right next to chronic disease and obesity, according to Bailey. She said one in five people live with a mental illness, and it’s most im-

portant to get people help in addressing their needs before a tragedy like suicide occurs. Bailey said it is impossible to prove that Dakota County’s focus on Make It OK training and other public communication efforts with regard to mental illness and suicide are responsible for a drop in suicides this year, but she knows the more people talk about their thoughts and feelings, the better the outcomes. “All of our work in the community has contributed to this (decline),� Bailey said referring to the culture in schools, churches and businesses that getting help for mental illness is accepted and encouraged. She said Dakota County is on pace to have a reduction in the number of suicides by about 15 to 25. As of the Dec. 15 presentation, there were 30 suicides reported in Dakota County in 2016. Nearly half of the suicides this year were among those 50 and older, while men ages 18-24 accounted for 15 and those under 18 accounted for five. Bailey said those numbers illustrate that suicide is not confined to adolescents and the community needs to find better support mechanisms for older adults and young adult males. “As leaders you all have an important role from this day forward,� Bailey told the group. “Don’t talk quietly about mental illness. Our challenge is to make it OK to talk about mental illness.� Bailey related several stories about people who have lived with mental illness for up to 60 years who have revealed their struggles for the first time during some of her presentations. Those stories of people known very well by those in these presentation groups illustrate how pervasive mental illness is, how hidden it can be and the humanity of it.

Bailey said medical research has shown there is a biological reason for mental illness as those who have these illnesses inherited them through their DNA. It’s not anyone’s fault they have a mental illness, and it should be treated as such, according to Bailey. For the same biological reasons, more boys and young men die from suicide as their brains don’t allow them to talk about their problems or crisis moments. Bailey said 90 percent of Dakota County suicides are by boys and men. She offered advice in engaging with boys and young men (or anyone) who have become withdrawn or had a sudden change in behavior. She said the best way to approach a person who may be in a crisis is to first tell them that they are loved and supported. After telling the person that one is concerned about changes in their behavior, directly ask them if they have been having thoughts of killing themselves. Bailey said the conversations will take two different paths at this point. If the person says no, relief comes to the conversation. If the person says yes, Bailey said that person needs to know what they have shared took courage and that “I will walk alongside you to get help.� Participants in the Dec. 15 session said they appreciated both the information that put mental illness into perspective and practical tools people can use in addressing mental illness on a personal level. “The most important element for me was how to communicate or talk about suicide at city (community) level,� said Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste. “Suicide is a public health problem and learning about the issue was tremendously valuable. Having ministers and

principals at the meeting helped me understand the responsibilities leaders have helping survivors of suicide loss deal with grief and loss.� Bailey offered much advice to the leaders in how to handle communication after a suicide has taken place. Rosemount High School Principal John Wollersheim said he’s gone through the training before, but added that: “I think there is real power in our leaders hearing this message together. Awareness citywide is a great step in the right direction.� He said the meeting offered him a chance to update his contact list with area clergy leaders. “I thought the presentation was great,� said Rosemount Family Resource Center Coordinator Natalie Schmidgall. “I know that working in a resource center most of the families we work with are in crisis and often times we come across families who live with mental illness.� She said she is going to educate volunteers and coworkers about the importance of breaking down the stigma of mental illness and suicide. “I think that the more we can educate and discuss these the topics the more we can take a holistic approach when working with our families and create a

3A

positive environment that everyone feels comfortable to be their self,� she said. “When someone can truly connect it provides an opportunity to pick up on things. At the resource center we have been able to provide resources during these moments because of our connections we have with our families and the approach we take. I hope we can continue to break down the stigma, educate and continue to support and make proper referrals so that we can support those who live with mental illness each and every day and ultimately help save lives.� Bailey said she and others trained in offering the “Make It OK� session are available to meet with local groups.

St. Paul-based National Alliance on Mental Illness also holds several support group and training events in Dakota County. More information is at namihelps.org or 651-645-2948.

Final Exit loses appeals court decision Group says it will petition to have case heard by Minnesota Supreme Court by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld on Monday a Dakota County court ruling that a national right-to-die group was guilty of two charges connected to the May 2007 suicide of an Apple Valley woman. In issuing its ruling the court rejected Final Exit Network’s claims that the charges were unconstitutional under the First Amendment when the group’s members “assisted� in 57-year-old Doreen Dunn’s death. Final Exit was found guilty of felony assisting another to commit suicide and gross-misdemeanor interference with a dead body or death scene in May 2015. The indictment against Tallahassee, Florida-based Final Exit was issued by a grand jury in May 2012. The appeals court said Final Exit’s information on its website and other communications with regard to the right-to-die or emotional support are not prohibited since it is not directed to a specific individual, but the group’s members violated Minnesota law with regard to the preservation of human life when it assisted in Dunn’s suicide. Final Exit members provided information directly to Dunn. They came to her house and explained to her procedures that led to her death. A Final Exit medical examiner checked Dunn’s pulse afterward to determine she had died. Members also removed equipment that led to the death and disposed of it in a dumpster to create the

appearance of a natural death, the court said. “We are pleased with the decision of the court of appeals to uphold the conviction of this corporation whose members directly enabled Doreen Dunn to take her own life in violation of our laws,â€? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said on Tuesday. He said what Final Exit members did is not OK and it will never be. “What Final Exit Network does in aiding individuals suffering from serious medical conditions who, like Doreen Dunn, are not terminally ill but are extremely vulnerable or depressed, in taking their own lives and then covering up the truth about what occurred ‌ is not only legally wrong, it is morally reprehensible,â€? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said about the guilty verdict in May 2015. Dunn reportedly suffered pain for 10 years following a 1996 medical procedure when she joined Final Exit. Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life said in a press release that the ruling sends a very clear message that assisting suicide in Minnesota is illegal. MCCL referred to Final Exit Network as an assisted suicide advocacy group that purposely came into the state, broke the law and assisted in a suicide of a vulnerable person who needed care, not suicide. MCCL said the “law protecting Minnesotans from suicide predators like Final Exit Network and other assisted suicide advocates has been in

place since 1992 and has served all of us well.� “This court was just one step on the appellate ladder,� Final Exit president Janis Landis said on its website after Monday’s ruling. “Whether we won or lost in this court, we always knew the case would have to go to the Supreme Court of Minnesota, and maybe beyond. So now we’ll step up to the next court. We’re in this to stay until we obtain justice.� Backstrom said he is confident the conviction will continue to be upheld in the Minnesota Supreme Court since the appeals decision was based on the interpretation of the law in the Supreme Court’s review of the State vs. William Melchert-Dinkel. “The Minnesota Supreme Court clearly indicated that words in a direct manner that instruct people how to take their own life is not protected under the First Amendment,� Backstrom said. Backstrom said the Minnesota Legislature has set forth how end-oflife issues are addressed under the care of a physician communicating full knowledge of the situation to the patient and the family. He said the protections need to be in place so there aren’t any abuses that occur. The appeals court based its ruling largely on the precedent set in Melchert-Dinkel. In the case, MelchertDinkel, a Faribault resident posing as a female nurse, contacted two different people through See EXIT, 13A

Opinion Fake news is a cancer for society by Keith Anderson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Tabloid journalism has been around for decades. The man who sneezed so hard it blew his wife’s hair off her head, NASA capturing photos of ghosts in space, the dolphin that grew human arms, the shocking photos of Abraham Lincoln not being a vampire slayer, as Hollywood might have you believe, but that “he” was in fact a she — all over-the-top fake. But for that readership demographic it’s all accepted with full acknowledgement that it’s just mindless entertainment, not news. Nobody really believes it. Not so with the fake content of social media and the many websites that have popped up to trick, deceive and flat out change people’s opinions on issues. This became omnipresent during the 2016 presidential election. According to a New York Times story published Nov. 8, 2016, numerous fake accounts that were attributed to notable politicians were circulating bogus information in the days leading up to the election. There was this fake message attributed to former N.Y. City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani: “We cannot let Blacks and Hispanics alone decide this election for Hillary! Everyone deserves a say. All others, head to the polls NOW!” Another site with irresistible headlines indicated President Obama and Hillary Clinton were promising amnesty to undocumented immigrants who voted for the Democratic ticket. Also not true. Yet, in 2016, this fabricated content is getting traction, and perhaps more concerning is that there is an entire generation of users who have grown up getting their “news” from social media feeds that neither claim nor deliver on the notion that what is appearing on these sites is accurate, objective or even remotely true. The intent is clicks, which drives revenue. Some describe social media as a land mine. I would say it’s more like a landfill. You can find some good stuff out there, but it’s mixed in with a lot of stinking, rotting waste that left unmonitored can infiltrate the environment and create a serious cancer threat. There’s no question fake news influenced some people during this past election. And in fact, it’s probably influencing them on a daily basis if they are relying on social media and bogus websites as their sources of information. Those who have been involved with ethical journalism have known just how difficult it is to bring accurate and trust-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Keith Anderson worthy news to readers every day, largely because it is labor intensive. It takes effort. That’s not always easy. A few weeks ago Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Chris Ison spoke to a room of ECM journalists about his efforts as an investigative journalist. He talked about digging through dumpsters to find documents. He and a colleague tracked key figures for days to gain further leads. He pored over hundreds of pages of government documents and talked with dozens of sources to help develop stories. It took weeks and weeks of effort, but it was money well spent because in one of those stories, it was being done to educate the public about sloppy arson investigations. On a more local level, it’s impossible to tell the story of a city’s plan to create a new tax district without talking to the people involved, examining where it has been tried before, and asking questions of business leaders who may be affected by it. But in order to tell that story so readers have accurate information, an investment of time and energy must be made by the reporter. That means interviews, fact checking, citing reputable sources, and presenting it all objectively. There is an expense to that, something that many of us have been willing to ignore because so much of what we read comes from somebody else who shared it through a post, connected to a link, taken from a screenshot or pasted as a PDF. As readers we’ve had little reason to think about how much a newspaper spent in time and talent to bring that story to bear because the internet has fed our appetite and allowed us to devour it all quite anonymously, and in most cases at no charge. And that is odd. Newspapers have real costs to bring readers the news. As consumers when we visit a restaurant, we not only pay for our food, we tip our waiter or waitress for exceptional service. In fact, many folks tip regardless of the level of service. Even taxpayer-funded projects, led by city and county officials, end up charging us a fee for their use including our neighborhood community centers, city swimming pools, public school extracurricular activities, community theaters,

taxpayer-supported professional stadiums, community education programs and so much more. If there is value to it, there is usually a fee attached. That’s because it takes the investment of time and energy to create a product the public needs. Of course it’s much easier to create bogus news that does not require fact checking, does not require accuracy, does not develop the basis of the story with any ethical standards and has no goal of objectivity. Usually, its No. 1 goal is to deceive, persuade and generate clicks, which in turn results in revenue. Fake news promoters do not care what the impact might be to the individual, a community or a nation. Their agenda is usually singular and for the rest of society the results are cancerous. Our society has become more polarized in the last 10 years than most of us have ever experienced. That tunneled perspective simply feeds into the fake news formula, which is insistent on appealing to the people who are eager to agree with whatever is being fabricated or stretched. That helps spread the bogus story to others and pretty soon fake becomes blurred with real and many who read only headlines are influenced. That should scare every citizen in a democratic society. How can any of us make informed decisions if we are not getting our news from objective sources? It’s also perpetuated by the algorithms on social media sites that are designed to feed us even more stories that conform to the beliefs we have amassed by our previous clicks. In other words, our newsfeeds continue to provide us with views and stories that narrow our scope of our nation, state and community. That means there is a lot of reputable news that won’t even make it to your newsfeed because it doesn’t fit the algorithm for your site. This decay from within is also possible because people by nature are trusting. Those with a stilted agenda are preying on that trust. They depend on it to spread their deception. Since few readers have the time to fact check and verify everything being read, it’s easy for those with a motive to exploit fears and invade that trust. But when people start making life decisions based on newsfeeds that are littered with deceptive news, as a society we must examine the ramifications. In a free and democratic society there is a responsibility for each of us to be informed of the events and news that occur in our communities. In turn, we use that information to make intelligent decisions, take action with grassroots initiatives, support elected officials who will help improve our communities, and actively

engage fellow citizens on issues that affect us all, including education, racial equality, public safety and health, transportation and human rights. That is our mission as community newspapers. We strive to bring you news and information that is relevant to your lives, but also helps you stay abreast of the critical policy decisions that are being made every day by city councils, school boards, state legislators, county boards, chambers and more. Will we make mistakes? Absolutely. But they won’t be deliberate and we will also acknowledge and correct them in our effort to make sure readers are getting accurate, pertinent information. And you should let us know when we are not living up to the standards of reporting that you deserve. We may not always succeed, but it won’t be for lack of effort. But to do that there is a price. This is a fact. The trash that continues to get generated by the fakers and the deceivers will certainly multiply over the next few years, but even if you don’t want to support this newspaper, you should take steps to ensure the news you receive is not fabricated. First, don’t pass along content that seems unbelievable. It probably is. Certainly don’t do it deliberately. Every time you share questionable content with friends and others you perpetuate the problem. Check the sources. Verify that what’s being reported is in fact attributed to a reputable source. Avoid the influence of headlines that scream to your fears. And make sure you are getting more than one side to a story, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. If your current news sources seem only to reinforce everything you already believe, you may want to see how much objectivity is really being reported. Our society cannot successfully function with a populace that is receiving biased news and deceptive information. That’s why getting news from credible sources is so vitally important. But don’t expect somebody else to solve this problem. The fake stream only loses its value if people aren’t reading and sharing it anymore. We hope you will help support our newspapers and the countless other media outlets that work every day to bring you information and stories that are relevant and factual. Truth in reporting may not always be pretty, but a nation, state or community propped up by lies cannot survive.

A gift for you and a great teacher by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Today we’ll talk about giving you, the reader, two gifts. Here are two ways to do this. First, please remember a favorite teacher. Write her or him a thank you note and send it. I’ll never forget my middle school music teacher, Jim Hardy. He was as kind and gracious in responding to my note as he was 40 years earlier when my voice was changing and my singing was awful. The same was true for Richard Crouter, a college religion professor who helped me (and many others) through the trauma of the 1960s. The second gift is to buy a copy of “Thank You, Teacher,” edited by Holly and Bruce Holbert. Holly initiated this book, which has brief letters from more than 80 famous people thanking their favorite teachers. The book began when Holly decided to honor her husband’s more than 30 years as an English and social studies teacher. Published by New World Library this year, it’s one of the most moving, uplifting books I’ve read in many years. You can comment about a teacher on their Facebook page, “Thank you, teacher.”

Joe Nathan Holly wrote in the introduction, “What we don’t hear much about are those teachers like Bruce that quietly go about affecting thousands of children’s lives for the good.” More than 150 people responded to Holly’s request. She explains, “Most wrote about a teacher who changed the course of their lives and was a big reason they became the accomplished adults they are today.” Here’s what some of them wrote. John Glenn, astronaut and U.S. senator, described his high school civics course in New Concord, Ohio: “Mr. Steele’s course lit a fire in me that never did go out.” Jim Belushi recalled that in a film class taught by Richard Holgate at the College of DuPage: “We fought all the time. ...

Jill Stein and election integrity To the editor: Jill Stein, Green Party presidential candidate in the 2016 general election, solicited three states in which to conduct a vote recount effort – Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. All, Donald Trump won with thin margins. All failed attempts. In two of the three, federal judges blocked the effort. In Wisconsin, Trump actually increased his final tally by a few votes. Stein went on record

saying the effort was not about an attempt to overturn the election, rather, to ensure integrity in our election system. Sidebar: I really wish the effort would have been granted in Pennsylvania. Anybody recall the 2012 general election in which a Philadelphia precinct garnered 100 percent democrat votes? 100 percent! Question: If election fraud was happening in this country, who’d rank California No. 1 as the state most likely in which this is occurring? Many would. Follow-up question: If Stein would have targeted California for this

effort, how much in donations do you think she would’ve received? Regardless of who won the state, and size of margin, isn’t Stein’s point about election integrity? Political opinions aside, if Stein, or anybody else were to approach me for a donation to conduct a recount effort in a state of which I’m suspicious, I would gladly help – for our country’s integrity, not because I’m throwing an adolescent, immature, spoiled-baby, narcissistic tantrum over an election in which my candidate See LETTERS, 5A

Resolve to start the New Year without an eye injury For most people, ringing in the New Year means celebrating with friends and family, champagne toasts and cheer, but if you get hit in the eye with a champagne cork, it may mean a trip to the emergency room. Every year, improper cork-removal techniques cause serious, potentially blinding eye damage. A champagne cork can fly

I am a Republican

up to 50 miles per hour as it leaves the bottle – fast enough to shatter glass. At such high speeds, there is no time to react and guard against eye injury. The Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology offers some tips on opening a bottle of bubbly correctly to avoid flying corks in the first place: – Make sure sparkling wine is chilled to at least 45 degrees Fahrenheit before opening. The cork of a warm bottle is more likely to pop unexpectedly. – Don’t shake the bottle. Shaking increases your chances of eye injury. – To open the bottle safely, hold down the cork with the palm of your hand while removing the wire hood. Point the bottle at a 45-degree angle away from yourself and from any bystanders. – Place a towel over the entire top of the bottle and grasp the cork. – Keep the bottle at a 45-degree angle as you slowly and firmly twist the bottle while holding the cork to break the seal. Continue to hold the cork while twisting the bottle. Continue until the cork is almost out of the neck. Counter the force of the cork using slight downward pressure

just as the cork breaks free from the bottle. – Never use a corkscrew to open a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine. In the event that an eye injury does occur, seek medical help from an ophthalmologist – an eye medical doctor – immediately.

Grand jury clears Eagan Lakeville leader earns 4.3 percent raise officer in shooting by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Dakota County Grand Jury has concluded Eagan police Sgt. Nathan Tennessen was legally justified when he used deadly force during an incident Aug. 28 in Eagan, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Tennessen responded to a report of a male shooting a handgun near an apartment/townhome complex at 1284 Ironwood Lane and used deadly force in the shooting death of Justin Lee Kulhanek-Derks, 37, of Eagan. He was one of three officers responding to the scene around noon following multiple reports of a person firing a handgun from a motor vehicle. According to a Dakota County Attorney’s Office news release, KulhanekDerks ignored verbal com-

mands, started backing out of the parking spot and fired at the officers. Two of the three officers fired back and Tennessen struck Kulhanek-Derks in the head. After approaching the vehicle, they found Kulhanek-Derks slumped over in the driver’s seat with a 9mm handgun. He didn’t have a pulse. Emergency medical personnel confirmed his death. The autopsy confirmed he died from one shot to the head. In order to bring charges against a police officer for using deadly force in the line of duty, the state must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the use of force was not justified, the release stated. Toxicology reports revealed Kulhanek-Derks had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.17 at the time of his death. Backstrom expressed

sympathy for the family and friends of KulhanekDerks. He also extended his concern for the well-being of the officers involved. “Law enforcement officers are trained to protect and serve our communities each and every day,� Backstrom said. “Unfortunately there are times when officers are placed in a situation where they must use deadly force to protect themselves and the public.� Backstrom said it has been the policy of his office to present all cases involving use of deadly force by law enforcement to a grand jury. The Eagan Police Department does not use body cameras and none of the squad videos captured the incident. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc. com.

The clock tower sign by Heritage Drive businesses, including anchor Cub Foods, is one of three to be removed and replaced as part of a revised development plan approved by the Lakeville City Council Dec. 19. The other signs will be located at the northeast corner of Dodd Boulevard and Heritage Drive, next to County Road 50 and near a new private drive that is planned to connect Heritage Drive and 202 Street in spring 2017. Six commercial lots with frontage on County Road 50 are planned and will have smaller freestanding signs with messaging. The sign changes are intended to increase visibility for the businesses.

As temperatures dropped to dangerous, subzero levels last weekend, those in need of a place to stay could find warm refuge at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. The church played host Dec. 15-18 to the Dakota Adult Shelter Project’s crisis shelter, which offered basic services — including food and a place to sleep — on Grace Lutheran’s second floor. The temporary homeless shelter served about 25 guests each night, said Monica Nilsson, a homelessness advocate who was coordinating efforts for the Dakota Adult Shelter Project the night of Dec. 18. “About 40 percent of our guests were sleeping in their cars� prior to the shelter’s opening at Grace, Nilsson said. “There’s been volunteers coming around bringing food, the Apple Valley Police Department has been donating one officer outside to provide a

police presence, and the shelter guests feel cared for. You can’t feel cared for if you’re sleeping in your car.� Though there are homeless shelters in Eagan and Hastings, those shelters are at capacity, and Dakota County has dozens of people each night with nowhere to sleep, Nilsson added. “Clearly, in four days we’re seeing the need for this,� she said. The temporary shelter at Grace Lutheran came together after Dakota County put out an appeal last week for a site, anticipating the dangerously frigid weather. Grace Lutheran, part of a multi-church coalition working with the Dakota Adult Shelter Project, offered to serve as host site. “Grace has been part of a multiple-congregation task force working on a more permanent solution to homelessness in Dakota County,� said Rev. John Matthews, lead pastor at Grace Lutheran. “Approximately 25 Grace members have been physically involved

(at the shelter), with many more giving money and items of food and clothing. Our goal, using social media, has been to involve the broader community.� The Dakota Adult Shelter Project, which also consists of homelessness advocates and Dakota County Social Services workers, is seeking a long-term site to shelter the county’s homeless. The group is looking at churches and other buildings in northern Dakota County. Meanwhile, additional churches have stepped forward to host a temporary shelter until the end of the year. The Dakota Adult Shelter Project moved out of Grace Lutheran on Dec. 19 and headed to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville for a fourday occupancy. Spirit of Life Presbyterian Church in Apple Valley agreed to host the temporary shelter Dec. 23-26, and Dakota Adult Shelter Project was in talks with an Eagan See SHELTER, 13A

Meeting an Olympian

Eastview High School 10th-grader Calonna Carlisle, right, recently met two-time Olympic gymnast and multiple gold-medal winner Gabby Douglas. Douglas was in town doing a modeling job for a local company at a Minneapolis gym, and Carlisle was among a group of young gymnasts taking part in the photo shoot. Carlisle, a Lakeville resident who trains at Dynamics Gymnastics in Burnsville, is herself an accomplished athlete, winning the all-around competition for her age group at the USA Gymnastics state championship in 2015 and 2016. She said Douglas has been an inspiration to her: “She is an awesome gymnast — she is the first African American gymnast to win all-around, in the 2012 Olympics. ... She made it real to know if you work hard, no matter who you are or where you come from, it is possible to follow and achieve your dreams.� (Photo submitted)

Sports Cougars’ victory gives them breathing room South beats Eagan 4-3 in duel for SSC girls hockey lead by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville South has faith in its depth. If the Cougars can send three productive lines over the boards, coach Mark Johnson said, good results will follow eventually. That’s what happened Saturday night when the Cougars played Eagan for first place in South Suburban Conference girls hockey. South overcame a sluggish first period and rallied to beat the Wildcats 4-3 at Hasse Arena. Lakeville South is 9-0 in the conference (10-3 overall) and has a three-point lead over Eagan (6-1-2, 6-3-2). Four different players scored for the Cougars, with junior forward Allison McKinney getting the winner 2 minutes, 42 seconds into the third period. The game matched what are probably the South Suburban’s two deepest teams. Emily Fischer and Halle Gill are South’s top two scorers but it was McKinney, who hadn’t scored in the Cougars’ first 11 games, who got the game-winner. Eagan junior forward Taylor Anderson, a MinnesotaDuluth commit, attracts a lot of attention, but the Wildcats have 13 players with at least one goal. “We were a little flat

(Photo by Jim Lindquist/sidekick.smugmug.com) the first period,” Johnson said after Saturday’s game. “We didn’t quite have what we usually play with. Once our three lines got rolling over the boards, they went really hard. When we roll three lines, we can really step up our game.” Anderson, who had a goal and assist against Lakeville South, had 10 goals and 16 points in Eagan’s first 10 games. “Taylor is having a great season, but I’m also pleased that when you look at our stats, you see we have a lot of players contribut-

ing,” Eagan head coach Dan Wilson said. “We think we can compete with any team in the state and one of the reasons is our depth.” Gill scored at 2:07 of the first period against Eagan before the Wildcats took the lead on goals by Anderson and Megan Plaschko. South regained the lead in the second period on goals by Maddy Fox and Fischler, but a powerplay goal by Plaschko with 1:28 left in the second tied the game again. Plaschko did not have

a goal this season before getting two (along with one assist) against South. On Friday, Eagan planned to have Plaschko work with the top power-play unit, but practice was canceled because of a snowstorm. The Eagan coaches decided to go with the new group anyway and it paid dividends immediately; Plaschko had a goal and assist on the power play. The stat sheet showed Eagan with a 16-4 advantage in shots on goal in the third period (and 34-18 for the game), but South’s Gill

said the Cougars played the third period exactly the way they needed. “We were conditioned in the third period. We had it in their zone the whole time. They couldn’t get it out,” Gill said. “I think we’re very well trained.” Lakeville South also didn’t practice Friday, which Gill said might have affected the team’s start Saturday. “We didn’t have a terrible (first) period, but we knew what level we could get to and I think we finally reached that in the third,” she added.

Johnson didn’t seem bothered by the shot total, either. “One thing I really like about watching these girls is they get stronger as the game goes on. They get the job done, and good goaltending really helps,” he said. As for the goaltending, South junior Lexi Baker made 31 saves and came into this week with a 2.37 goals-against average and .908 save percentage. After backing up Chloe Crosby on South’s state tournament team last season, Baker has made a smooth transition to the starting job. Her teammates aren’t surprised. “She’s not really a goalie where you can mess with her mind a lot,” Fischler said. “I never really have to worry about her. She’s pretty much the only one on the team you never have to worry about.” Even though Eagan lost Saturday’s game, Wilson said he thought the Wildcats would carry forth some confidence. “I thought we dominated the game at times,” he said. “It was disappointing to lose, but we now know we can play with a team of that caliber, maybe even outplay them.” Lakeville South defeated Shakopee 6-3 at home on Tuesday. played Shakopee at home on Tuesday. The Cougars’ next game is 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 26, against Maple Grove in the first round of the Edina holiday tournament at Braemar Arena.

Eagles get it done again against Panthers in SSC boys hoops Apple Valley pulls away in second half by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley and Lakeville North have emerged as Minnesota high school boys basketball powers, with both schools winning state championships within the last five years. But in the rivalry between the schools, everything has been going Apple Valley’s way. Tuesday night, the Eagles pulled away in the second half and won 71-63 at North in both teams’ South Suburban Conference opener. It’s Apple Valley’s 10th consecutive victory over Lakeville North, a streak that has lasted close to five years. Both teams have had a diet of highly ranked opponents since the season started, but Tuesday’s game had a little extra meaning. “We’ve had a tough non-schedule leading up to this point, and having our first conference game against Lakeville North, the No. 2 team in the state (in Class 4A), we knew we couldn’t take a step back,” said Apple Valley guard

Lakeville North senior Wade Sullivan was selected as an honorary Minnesota Vikings captain and took part in the coin toss before Sunday’s game against Indianapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Tre Jones. “It was a blast. That’s what you look forward to in high school basketball. They had a lot of people from their community come out tonight. We had a lot of fans also, and it was a packed gym. Two of the top teams in the state going at it, that’s just really fun.” The game was tied 32-32 at halftime before sixth-ranked Apple Valley (5-1) took control, holding Lakeville North (3-1) to 33 percent shooting in the second half. Jones scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half, and also finished with seven rebounds and seven assists. “In the first half, I thought we did a great job of taking them out of the stuff they wanted to do,” Lakeville North coach John Oxton said. “They changed their offense in the second half and spread it out a bit more. We had some trouble containing their dribble drive. “There were a lot of things we were very pleased with, and we’ve got a lot of stuff to work on, too. As I’ve told our kids, we don’t have to be great right now. We just

have to be a little better every day.” Nathan Reuvers, the Panthers’ 6-foot-10 forward, scored 25 points on 8-for-25 shooting, and grabbed 10 rebounds. He hit three three-pointers in the closing minutes after Apple Valley built a 15-point lead. Tyler Wahl had 12 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out, the kind of performance North coaches have been waiting to see from the sophomore wing, Oxton said. Senior guard Jalen Lucas had 12 points and four rebounds for North. Lakeville North plays at Woodbury on Thursday night before playing host to Benilde-St. Margaret’s, Robbinsdale Armstrong and Northfield in its annual holiday tournament beginning Wednesday, Dec. 28. “We get another chance to play almost right away (against Woodbury), and that’s the beauty of the game,” Oxton said. “I think it will be good for us.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Lakeville LITTLE, from 1A He said a post-victory email from a supporter best summed up his campaign: “She said you covered our house twice.� Little said. “And your campaign has been here three times, and I haven’t had anybody else come to my door, and so you’ve got my vote even though I’ve never voted for a Democrat before.� In the election, Little won all of Lakeville’ precincts, in addition to collecting the most votes in two Farmington’s six precincts, one township and the only precinct in Northfield. Little told the newspaper he has started setting up his Senate office, hired an assistant, and is looking forward to his first state term. He said his committee assignments will greatly affect his focus in office, but he hopes to work on tax credits, pre-kindergarten education funding, infrastructure and jobs. Little said he will also work to return tax dollars to the district. “For many, many years, all this district has done is send their money to St. Paul and that’s been distributed elsewhere, so I’ll have a big focus on bringing some of that back,� Little said. He said he is also hoping to gain momentum for Interstate 35 road projects: improving the County Road 50 interchange in Lakeville and bus transit and adding another parkand-ride south of Kenrick Avenue. Calling “hyper partisanship “not helpful� because it does not allow people to talk, Little said his campaign was about letting people know he would be there for them. He said he talked about common issues instead of the parties’ political divide. Little said it will be

“critical� to work with Republicans Jon Koznick and Pat Garofalo, both House representatives, to get the projects accomplished. “I ran this campaign to change things,� Little said. “I’m just trying to break that mold.� Little described another kind of mold he said he has had to break during his tenure on the City Council: assumptions people carried about him due to his youth. “People will assume things and try to discredit you,� Little said. “But you’ve got to power through that.� He said he tells high school students the best way he found to fight the stereotypes was to work hard to discredit them by being informed. “I made that commitment early to be the guy in the room that knew everything about every issue that I possibly could,� Little said. “So no matter what I looked like, I sounded different; I didn’t sound like an inexperienced kid. I knew what I was talking about. That was key.�

Emotional farewell

During his last meeting as mayor Dec. 19, Little thanked fellow City Council members, including Kerrin Swecker, who is retiring from public service in Lakeville after 25 years, starting as a reserve police officer. Little also thanked city staff, his family, several key supporters and fiancĂŠe Coco Qi. In an emotional speech, he said he grew up while serving on the City Council, noting he graduated from law school, got engaged and bought a house during that time. Little fought back tears and said he will Laura Adelmann is at “greatly miss being your laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. mayorâ€? and thanked “ev- com. eryone who gave me a

He said the city is more transparent and has improved services for seniors. One of the most visible differences Little instituted was to introduce open office hours at City Hall for citizens to meet with the mayor. He said he started the hours so people could have face-to-face time with the mayor and have more options to bring forward issues than sending an impersonal email or publicly speaking during televised meetings. Mayor-elect Doug Anderson told the newspaper he intends to continue holding weekly open-door hours at City Hall for citizens, and is looking forward to building more relationships and serving the people of Lakeville. Little called his time as mayor “the greatest opportunity ever� and said he has also worked to get young adults to be involved in city issues and to know who the mayor is. “I hope I’ve changed what it means to be mayor in our town, and that the amount of work and energy that I brought to the office made our town better,� Little said.

194, from 1A board leadership positions. Tony Massaros, executive director of administrative services, was the only staff member present during the superintendent search process discussion, and left after board members agreed to hire a search firm by Jan. 24 and before the conflicts were aired. In an email to the newspaper, Snyder reiterated previous comments that she chose to resign as superintendent. “I am looking forward to a new challenge and opportunity,” she said. “At this point in my career, there are a number of opportunities available to me that will allow me to utilize my experiences, passion and talents to positively contribute to the profession that I love:

education.” The board evaluated Snyder’s performance during an Oct. 11 closed session that lasted approximately 30 minutes, according to District 194 meeting minutes. The issue was to be discussed again in November, but was removed from the agenda before the meeting. Snyder said she chose to not enter into negotiations on an additional contract, and as a result, she asked Volk to remove the discussion item on this topic from the November agenda. In an interview, Volk said she did not force Snyder to resign or ask her to resign. During the meeting, Lewis and Keliher confronted the rest of the board about how Snyder’s resignation occurred,

claiming the board lacks transparency and calling for themselves to be put in leadership roles because of a lack of trust in other board members. Discussion became so heated, several residents in attendance recorded it and posted it live on Facebook. “I was absolutely appalled to not be involved in that discussion,” Lewis said, describing feeling “furious” that a decision was made without her voice. “The superintendent made her own decision,” Volk said. “The superintendent did not make her own decision,” Lewis responded. “She made her own decision,” Volk said. “That’s not what you told me when I talked to you on the phone on the 13th,” Lewis said.

Volk reiterated that Snyder made her own decision. “My trust level here is really very poor, and pretty much destroyed,” Lewis said. “The integrity that we have talked about is pretty much gone.” Lewis said the board has created transparency issues themselves and the board needs to rebuild trust. “I cannot tell you how appalling it is to not have been included in this when I represent a lot of citizens, too,” Lewis said. Keliher agreed, and said the board is not transparent with the public. She accused Volk, Jim Skelly, Bob Erickson and Terry Lind of sharing outside of a meeting their intentions regarding a vote regarding a proposal to hire Kate Leavell for lacrosse coach at Lakeville

North High School. “I think the lack of transparency has been really bad,” Keliher said. “There’s a lot of dialogue and discussions going on. There is no way four people did not support the administration’s recommendation for a lacrosse coach without some talking behind the scenes.” Volk sharply inhaled when Keliher accused Volk of refusing to tell Leavell the reason Volk did not support her reinstatement as coach. “There was a lawsuit pending,” Volk said in a raised voice, citing concern discussion would cause further legal complications. Skelly said the district had a letter from legal counsel stating the board did nothing wrong. In an interview, Erickson said he did not know

about concerns regarding Leavell until the night of the School Board meeting when Skelly raised the issue. Erickson said his decision relating to that position came as a result of the public conversation that occurred during the meeting. Lind was not available for comment. The board later approved Leavell’s spouse as assistant lacrosse coach. Minnesota’s open meeting law generally requires governmental bodies’ discussions be public and was established to ensure the public’s right to be informed about a public board’s decisions or to detect improper influences. “It’s very concerning, the direction of this board,” Keliher said.
