Apple Valley legislator proposes tax credits for hiring veterans Unemployment rate is 23 percent for state’s vets by T.W. Budig ECM CAPITOL REPORTER
This double-digit rate is starkly contrasted by the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in December showing the general unemployment at 5.5 percent. The state’s unemployment rate for veterans is one of the highest in the nation, Wills said. “We’re excited to have broad, bipartisan support,” she said of her bill. Wills lauded the proposal as a “win-win” for

The fight against cancer lasts all night long during the Apple Valley Relay For Life. This year the event will see participants walking and running through the night and into the morning at Quarry Point Park as a benefit for the American Cancer Society. While the relay itself isn’t until July 19, local organizers are inviting interested volunteers and relay participants to a kickoff rally at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, at the Apple Valley Community Center. A fundraiser and a way to spread encouragement for those who’ve endured or are currently battling cancer, the relay raises money through team commitment fees and individual donation goals secured from family, friends and businesses. Relay For Life grew from an idea of Dr. Gordon Klatt, who in 1985 ran and walked 24 hours on a track in Tacoma, Wash., traveling 81 miles and raising $27,000 for the American Cancer society.

Pornography is a billiondollar worldwide predator. It lures with lust and lies, connives and shames, cheapens and steals lives, wrecks marriages, demeans sex and the victims it entices. Some Dakota County men lured through pornography’s broad paper-and-video entryway found themselves trapped, humiliated, shamed and cut off from those most important in their lives. Most of the local men interviewed for this story suffered mental, physical and/ or sexual abuse as children, a common experience for sex and pornography addicts, according to nationally known sexual addiction expert Dr. Mark Laaser, owner of Faithful and True, a recovery center in Eden Prairie.

The men who shared their stories in this newspaper said they hope they serve as a warning for others to stop, seek help and claim freedom. Ryan Hanson of Eagan was raised by an inattentive, promiscuous single mother who left him in situations where he was alone, molested and victimized. She eventually married an abusive alcoholic who was also a church deacon. To escape, Hanson’s mother soon took a job that brought her out of town five days a week, leaving Hanson behind. “He basically terrorized me,” Hanson said. As Hanson grew, he became independent of his family “because of the terrible things going on.” He wound up watching hours of pornography during sleep-overs at a friend’s home with an unlocked satellite dish. His interest in pornography grew, a secret he kept hidden from everyone, eventually including his wife. He neglected his family as

Foundation holds ‘Splash’ event in memory of Apple Valley youngster The Mary Moon Foundation, established in memory of Apple Valley youngster Mary “Moon” O’Keefe, will host its second annual “Make a
Splash” event at the Water Park of America from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, March 3. The event features discounted admission to the water park, games, enter-
tainment, food and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Child-Family Life Services at University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s
Hospital. Mary O’Keefe lost her battle to a childhood cancer at age 3. In 2011, her parents, Peter and Christine O’Keefe, co-founded the nonprofit as a way to give back to an organization that made a big impact to their family while Mary was hospitalized – Child-Family Life Services at Amplatz. “From our perspective, the services of ChildFamily Life were just as important as the medical
procedures,” Christine said. “They were there the day Mary was diagnosed – blowing bubbles to ease the tension – all the way to the end, when they made a mold of her hand as a memorial.” With the launch of the foundation’s “Make a Splash” event, the O’Keefes have substantially increased their capacity to give back to the organization that made such a difference in their lives. What started as a mod-
est monthly donation of arts and craft supplies to Child-Family Life at Amplatz, grew to a $13,000 donation in 2012. “I never thought we were going to run a foundation,” Christine said. “It all started with us bringing in craft supplies and then we were inspired to do something bigger.” Tickets to this year’s “Make a Splash” event can be purchased at www. marymoonfoundation.org for $12.

CSM: We’re committed to developing Lockheed site Twin Cities developer says it will resubmit application by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK
Two months after withdrawing its plans to redevelop the Lockheed Martin property in Eagan, CSM representatives say the company intends to resubmit plans for the site in the near future. “We are definitely committed to moving forward with developing this property,� said Tom Palmquist, vice president of commercial development for CSM. “But I think it needs to be market driven.� Palmquist said he expects CSM will resubmit a planned development application in the next few months. CSM Eagan, a subsidiary of CSM Corp. of Minneapolis, purchased the property off Pilot Knob Road in 2011 after Lockheed Martin announced its plans to vacate its 620,000-squarefoot campus in 2013. The developer submitted a proposal last spring to turn the 51-acre site into a large-scale retail development. CSM withdrew its application in December while awaiting results of a traffic study by Dakota County. The study examined traffic on Pilot
Knob Road in Eagan and its findings were presented in January. “The results of the traffic study solidified certain aspects,� Palmquist said. Palmquist said the company is still interested in bringing retail to the site, but in doing so will require a large anchor. The company is also looking at potentially adding a 40,000- to 70,000-square-foot medical office to further complement retail on the site, he said. Shortly after CSM withdrew its application, the Eagan City Council stepped in and hired consulting firm Hoisington Koegler Group to conduct a study to determine best uses of the site. The city previously used the firm’s services while forming its comprehensive guide plan in 2009. Representatives of the firm presented various scenarios to the City Council at a Feb. 12 meeting. Council members Paul Bakken and Gary Hansen were absent. All scenarios would likely impact traffic levels equally, said Bryan Hartjes, of Hoisington

Koegler Group. The group developed five retail scenarios for the site. One calls for a big box store surrounded by smaller retailers, while another depicts a large entertainment venue, such as a movie theater, surrounded by smaller retail buildings. A third concept has a mix of large and small retail stores with several parking lots of varying sizes, which are broken up by buildings. Two other scenarios allow for under-
ground parking or parking structures. Council members preferred the idea of breaking up parking lots rather than one or two large ones. All agreed they want to avoid creating a strip mall with “a sea of parking.� Mayor Mike Maguire said he would like to ensure any retail development on the site consists of a mix of small and large buildings. “My concern with such large footprints is
developments often have a central theme, such as upscale fashion. Woodbury Lakes in Woodbury and the Heart of the City in Burnsville are examples of such developments. Once the real estate bubble burst, however, demand for this type of development plummeted within suburbs, Hartjes said. “It’s a long-term commitment and the marketplace isn’t there today,� he said. Palmquist concurred, adding that Eagan’s proximity to the Mall of America would make it especially difficult to create an urban village on the Lockheed site. Although they too don’t foresee an urban village on the site, council members reiterated their desire to see a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly retail development. “I think it’s key with it next to Central Park and walking trails,� Council Member Meg Tilley said. Tilley and Maguire said they would also like to see a mix of housing – perhaps condos or senior living – incorporated into the development.
it separates the development from the community,� he said. The study explored the possibility of leaving the site as a large office campus, but Hartjes noted there is little demand for it in the current market. The group also presented the option of turning the site into an urban village.

Church gives Valentine’s Day gifts that won’t be forgotten Members of a church in St. Bonifacious gave five couples a Valentine they won’t forget – a free wedding worth at least $1,500. Pastor John Braland of the Freshwater Community Church came up with the idea after realizing many couples want to get married but can’t afford the expense of the wedding. So he, his staff and volunteers removed all the barriers by providing at no charge: the wedding license, the space, the photographer, the music, the printed program, the reception and even the wedding cake. Over the “Wedding Weekend” of Feb. 8-10, Pastor Braland married a couple on Friday night and four brides and grooms on Saturday in separate ceremonies to the delight of many guests. The five were picked out of those who responded to an appeal on Facebook. On Sunday of Valentine week, 14

couples renewed their wedding vows. The church supplied 19 sheet cakes for all the couples. Braland explains the reasoning of offering free weddings. Marriage is the bedrock of society. Married couples build better families, and better families make better communities. So you are wondering — what’s the catch? There is none. The couples do not have to be members of the church. In fact, they don’t even have to be Christians.
They did have to attend premarital counseling as part of a “Happily Ever After Marriage” series, to make sure they were ready for marriage. “We said if you say ‘I do,’ we say ‘We do,’ ” he said. Pastor Braland figures that, including a reception, the church is saving each couple up to $2,000. The 900 members of the church are paying the bills, because they believe this is one way to build better families and a better community. Pastor Braland has been getting positive reaction to the free weddings since the story by Todd Moen broke in the Waconia Patriot newspaper. The pastor probably would offer free weddings again on a smaller scale. This is an idea other churches should try, Braland agreed. What about those who make a living selling wedding services to married cou-
ples? The pastor figures there are enough weddings to go around, saying these won’t make a dent in the wedding market. Vanessa Martinson, the church office manager who coordinated the wedding weekend, said, “We want to be a church that gives something and reaches out and helps the community.” With all the sad news lately, she said, it’s nice to have a good-news story that helps people. Come to think about it, that’s the real message of Valentine’s Day.

Student ‘engagement’ declining – what schools can do What can 5- and 6-year-olds learn from building a playground, or high school students learn helping to produce a play, writing a history of their community, creating YouTube videos about the value of Dual (high school/college) Credit Courses, conducting water quality testing, or planning and then building a community garden? The answer is clear: Students who participate in such hands-on, active learning generally will be more “engaged” in their learning. A 2012 Gallup poll of almost 500,000 American students, grades 5-12, helps explain why student engagement is so important. The poll also shows a dramatic decline in student engagement as students move thorough our public schools. How do we “engage” students? • Students at the School of Environmental Studies in Apple Valley have researched and help create exhibits for the Minnesota Zoo. • Students in many communities, including Apple Valley, Eastview, Eagan, Lakeville, the Main Street School for Performing Arts in Hopkins, and Richfield
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Joe Nathan
have produced musicals that won awards from the Hennepin Theatre Trust. • In Little Falls, students in a combined biology/English/social studies class read and wrote about the history of the Mississippi. They also did water quality testing on the river discovering at one point that there was an unacceptably high level of bacteria in the water. • In Houston, students interviewed local residents for an area history. They discovered one elderly woman who had been a member of the French Resistance during World War II, causing them to do a lot of reflection about her high school years. • In St. Paul, students researched, planned and then built a playground with a zero budget. It was a very big day
in the life of the seven-year old co-chairs of the “sand committee” when six truck loads of sand, that they had arranged for, arrived. Let’s be clear. This is not an attack on teachers. That’s because teachers are being pushed hard to focus on standardized, multiple-choice tests. But as the national Gallup organization points out, we should care about this because “hope, engagement and well being of students accounts for onethird of the variance of student success. Yet schools don’t measure these things. Hope, for example, is a better predictor of student success than SAT scores, ACT scores, or grade point average.” Gallup found that from elementary to secondary school, student engagement drops from 76 to 44 percent. Gallup concluded: “There are several things that might help to explain why this is happening – ranging from our overzealous focus on standardized testing and curricula to our lack of experiential and project-based learning pathways for students – not to mention the lack of pathways for students who will not and
do not want to go on to college.” We want students to read, write and do mathematics. We also want them to be active, constructive citizens. We need to measure whether they are developing hope and a sense that they can accomplish important things. You can read the report at http:// thegallupblog.gallup.com/2013/01/theschool-cliff-student-engagement.html. There are great examples of these applied projects at www.whatkidscando. org. Many families and employers want students who are active, positive, able to work with others … engaged. Not just people with academic skills. Academic skills are important, but not enough. Being “engaged” helps many students see the value of and develop those “3-R” skills, along with a belief that they can set goals and make a difference.

That they all may be one by the Rev. Paul Jarvis SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK
Letters Provide a better alternative To the editor: Recent articles have discussed the governor’s proposals to close tax loopholes for higher income earners and broaden the state’s sales tax to include previously untaxed services like haircuts and gym memberships. Critics have protested that his proposals shouldn’t include items that make us healthier. And while there’s no overt criticism of his proposals to close loopholes, no great support has come from critics who want
to endear themselves to wealthier taxpayers anyway. Meantime the governor counsels critics to provide better options to reduce the deficit. This, unfortunately, has been lacking from those who disparage the governor’s ideas. I, for one, admire the governor’s mettle, in being willing to close the revenue gap. It’s easy to sit by and take potshots without providing alternatives. For too long, wealthy taxpayers say they should be able to continue to pay a lower overall rate of tax, as documented in the Revenue Department’s Tax Incidence Study.
They proudly claim the title bestowed on them by George W. Bush of “jobcreators.” But many of them have been more than willing to use tax incentives to move jobs overseas. I think it’s time to promote fairness and close some of those loopholes. To those who howl that hurts local industry, I express my doubt. It didn’t hurt us in the bullish ’90s, when we had relatively full employment. Let those who criticize the governor’s ideas provide better alternatives. NANCY HALL Burnsville

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” – Jesus’ farewell discourse to his disciples in the Gospel of John 17: 2021 Christians are supposed to be together! The movement among Christians promoting Christian unity, as everyone knows, is the ecumenical movement. It is the attempt by Christian Church – in its broadest sense, throughout its various traditions – to practice what Our Lord prayed for on the night before he died for us. During one recent week, all sorts of Christians prayed for unity as Christ wills it. Not necessarily how any particular tradition or individual Christian would like to see it … which is usually in conformity with one’s tradition. As one of the first congregations established in Rosemount, we at St. Joseph Church have considered it our duty and privilege to join in this prayer for unity. In fact, as an assembly and as individuals, St. Joe’s parishioners are right now praying for individual Christian communities, by name, within Rosemount and neighboring cities. We’re praying that they grow in doing God’s will. Loving God … others … oneself. We ask that other communities pray for ours. Praying for each other is important, but just the beginning. Christian disciples of different traditions also need to spend time with each other. We might just learn something. And move beyond misinformation and prejudice. I have found in my life that when folks only associate with like-minded people, virtually living in separate worlds, it’s relatively easy to “them”-ify others. To think “them” weird. Perhaps even demonize “them.” Certainly to not give a hoot about “them.” This is why praying for other Christian denominations and congregations during this week of prayer for Christian unity – wishing their well, rather than wishing them gone or corrected or absorbed – needs to be accompanied by breaking through social barriers, and spending time with “them.” To de-“them”-ify other denominations’ Christians. I ask Christian readers, When was the last time you actually sought out the company of another Christian community’s members? Not to theologically argue or convert. But to get together. The occasional wedding and funeral aside – which are not exactly conducive

When I arrived at my new assignment one and a half years ago, two pastors reached out to me for fellowship: Pastor Per Nelsen of the Community of Hope, and Pastor Bill Goodwin of Lighthouse Christian Church. I now periodically meet with Per for lunch, just to talk. And only incidentally to creatively think of ways to collaborate. I’ve come to expect Bill Goodwin to be good enough to show up at St. Joseph Church events that we’ve invited area congregations to. And I try to return the favor. At St. Joe’s Leprechaun Days Tailgate Party and Fireworks Watch last summer, I humbly let Bill think he won the Commode Race between us. It was quite ecumenical of me. Last Fall, Pastor Karen Bruins of Rosemount United Methodist invited St. Joe’s to join with them in resurrecting a dormant tradition: an ecumenical Thanksgiving Service on Thanksgiving Eve. True to the ecumenical spirit, Karen invited me to preach at the service in her congregation. Next year, the St. Joseph family is hosting the extended family’s gathering, and Pastor Bruins will be preaching. Last Good Friday, Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan invited congregations like St. Joe’s into their “Cross Walk.” It was a veritable United Nations of denominations taking turns in carrying that heavy wooden cross. And it was beautiful. Come 11 a.m. on the first Saturday in October, we’re hoping many pastors will join me and Deacon Steve Boatwright in blessing pets, farm animals, exotic beasts at our Blessing of the Animals. I figure half of those at the annual blessing are from other congregations. Praying for other congregations by name, praying for Christian unity is an important beginning. But in order to keep right with Jesus’ farewell wish for us, we need to be together. If you’ve got some ideas of how Christians of all shapes and stripes can come together … just to be together … please let me know. I’ll try them out with my new pastor-friends. The Rev. Father Paul Jarvis is pastor at St. Joseph Church and School. He can be reached at Paul.Jarvis@StJosephCommunity.org. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Public Safety Suspect charged in theft spree at Apple Valley apartments by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK
A Minneapolis man is facing felony charges in connection with multiple thefts from vehicles – and the theft of a BMW sedan – at an Apple Valley apartment complex late last year. Two days after the eight separate theft incidents were reported at Kingston Green apartments, 15601 Foliage Ave., police in Minneapolis located the stolen car, and ar-
rested 21-year-old Christopher J. Payne, while responding to a report of a disturbance. Payne, who police say was in possession of burglary tools as well as the key fob for the BMW when he was taken into custody, was charged in district court recently with two felonies – motor vehicle theft and theft over $1,000. The criminal complaint gives the following account: Apple Valley officers responded to the Kingston Green
apartments, Building B, on Nov. 13 of last year after receiving several reports of thefts from an underground garage. Seven victims reported an array of items stolen from their vehicles – cell phones, phone chargers, checks, coins, garage door openers, a GPS system and clothing, among other belongings. An eighth victim reported a more substantial loss – his 2008 BMW sedan, valued at $75,000. On Nov. 15, an unrelated
Police: Traffic stop turns up marijuana, large amount of cash cupants – including Dymoul, who was a passenger in the back seat – step out of the vehicle, and a subsequent search turned up a small amount of marijuana in the center console, as well as two backpacks containing a much larger amount of the drug in the rear passenger area. Inside the backpacks were seven small bags containing 165.45 grams, or about 6 ounces, of marijuana, according to the complaint. Police found $7,260 cash on Chhoun, who admitted the marijuana was his and also admitted selling marijuana to the driver of the vehicle, the complaint said. If convicted, Chhoun faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each felony count.

Police say a traffic stop prompted by an expired vehicle registration led to the discovery of more than a third of a pound of marijuana and thousands of dollars in cash. Dymoul Chhoun, 22, of Burnsville, was charged Feb. 4 with two felonies – sale and possession of marijuana – in connection with the incident. The criminal complaint gives the following account: A Burnsville patrol officer pulled the vehicle over at McAndrews Road and Burnhaven Drive the night of Oct. 19, 2012, after running a check on the vehicle and learning its registration had expired. As the officer approached, he smelled the “strong odor of fresh marijuana,” the complaint Andrew Miller can be reached at ansaid, and the driver admitted there drew.miller@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek. was marijuana in the vehicle. The officer had the three oc-
police call in Minneapolis led to Payne’s arrest and recovery of the BMW. A Chevy Malibu reported stolen in Burnsville earlier that day was also recovered from the scene, and police found the key to that vehicle in Payne’s backpack, the complaint said. A woman was arrested along with Payne but she has not been charged in connection with the Apple Valley crimes. Payne agreed to speak with police and admitted stealing the
BMW and rummaging through vehicles in the apartment complex’s garage, the complaint said. The stolen BMW has since been returned to its owner, police said. If convicted of both charges, Payne faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines. Andrew Miller can be reached at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Keeping school bus drivers behind the wheel Farmington resident hopes unemployment compensation for school bus drivers will improve retention by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK
One Farmington school bus driver hopes to change unemployment compensation to include school bus drivers who are not employed in the summer. Kathy Plumley of Farmington drives a school bus for Durham School Services, a bus company that provides buses for Burnsville-Savage-Eagan District 191. She has been driving a school bus for four years after retiring from IBM. With no unemployment benefits available during the summer months, Plumley watches as many of her fellow trained school bus drivers leave in the spring to find other jobs. “We have a lot, a lot, of single parents that decide to get their CDL licenses to drive school bus,” she says, “and I’m seeing them start to leave. I think
that’s not right. Those kids are more special than that.” She says the lack of unemployment benefits causes high turnover in a career where students need consistency. School bus drivers don’t only transport students, she said, they pass on observations to teachers, serve as spokespersons for the school system and are the first authority figures students encounter each morning. “The positive (or negative) atmosphere on the bus can set the tone for the rest of the day,” Plumley wrote in a draft petition she hopes to circulate to gain support for her idea. Plumley can’t understand why construction workers, landscapers, and even, in some cases, entertainment workers, like actors, stagehands, television producers, ballet dancers, and opera singers, can collect unemployment compensation
between seasons when bus drivers can’t for the two months they are unemployed. On Feb. 1, Plumley and two fellow bus drivers, Kim Johnson, Plumley’s daughter, who also drives for Durham School Services, and Chris Rinehart, who drives for Marschall Lines out of Farmington, met with state Rep. Patrick Garofalo, RFarmington. According to Plumley, Garofalo said he would do some research into the issue in other states. “He’s going to pursue it,” Plumley said. “He was so wonderful, not just to listen to us and take time out of his schedule, but saying that he and his staff will do some work.” Garofalo said it’s unlikely the law will change because of cost. “If the economy were better and things were going well, it
would be an easier sell,” Garofalo said in a phone conversation. “I just don’t see the money there to pay for it. When you expand the pool. Someone’s got to pay for it.” “We’re not the federal government,” he said. “We can’t just print money to pay for everything.” But, he will study the issue, optimistic that there might be other ways to help those drivers who are struggling. “We always want our kids bused by the most competent people,” Garofalo said. Plumley first learned of unemployment compensation from Wisconsin bus drivers who were subbing for Durham. Those bus drivers said under Wisconsin law, they are eligible to receive unemployment compensation during the summer. Durham School Services is the nation’s second largest stu-
Valley Middle students named to state honor band
dent school transportation provider, working in 32 states. In some of those other states, the company’s school bus drivers do receive unemployment compensation. Plumley said with her small pension, Medicare and Social Security, she can stretch her budget to fill the summer months, but for other bus drivers, that’s just not possible. “It’s breaking my heart that they end up going to other companies that will provide 12 months employment,” she said. “It’s hard on the drivers, it’s hard on the aides, it’s hard on the students.” Plumley drives a bus for students with special needs. “It’s very rewarding,” she said. “When one of the kids looks at you and says, ‘I love you. Can we play some music?’ It makes it all worthwhile. It’s a good profession.”

In Burnsville, rules for food trucks are on the table City weighs regulations for culinary newcomers by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK
Now that the growing food-truck movement has made its way to Burnsville, city officials are working their way through a host of regulatory issues the businesses bring with them. City staffers will develop an ordinance covering topics from permitted locations for the trucks to whether they can sell food alongside nonprofit concession stands at ballgames. Current city ordinances regulate door-to-door sales and outdoor sales in which a vendor camps out in one place for weeks or months. They don’t fully address location-hopping food trucks, although the City Council made some changes last year to allow the trucks.
Suburbs in general have done little yet to clarify regulations for mobile food vendors, Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner said. “This really is a new kind of thing,” she said at a Feb. 12 work session. Three food trucks were licensed by the city last year. Proprietors of two — The Wicked Palate and Motley Crews Heavy Metal Grill — told the council they’re amenable to regulations the city is considering. One of the changes made last year allows vending on to employees of a business on the business’ property, so long as the vendor is invited or has permission. The Wicked Palate has sold food at corporate sites in Burnsville such as Northern Tool and
Frontier Communications, said proprietor Dan Gustafson, a former City Council member who operates the truck with his wife. Motley Crews, which opened in September, was invited to work the grand opening at the new Best Buy retail location at 14141 Aldrich Ave S. and to sell food there on Black Friday, said proprietor Marty Richie of Lakeville, who has taken his truck to other cities. Proposed regulations would generally prohibit vending in rights-ofway, consistent with current city code. Ice cream trucks are allowed because they’re on the move. The city would determine rights-of-way where food trucks could use onstreet parking without creating traffic or pedes-
trian hazards. Such spots would most likely be in the Heart of the City. “The less things stop in the middle of the road, the better off we’ll all be. ... Just day-to-day traffic in Burnsville is challenging enough,” Police Chief Eric Gieseke said. The prospect of food trucks in city parks has raised concerns with the Burnsville Athletic Club and Baseball Association 191, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. The BAC, which sells concessions at Sue Fischer Fields, and BA 191, which sells at Alimagnet Park, flow their profits back into park facilities and youth sports. The city is also a nonprofit concessionaire, notably at the Lac Lavon Park softball complex. Parks staffers recommend that food-vending permits for parks with an
existing concessionaire be granted only with the concessionaire’s approval. Gustafson and Richie said they’d be willing to not sell the same items the concessionaires are selling when working those parks. Gustafson said he wants to sell food at weeknight adult softball games the city operates. He said he worked some sporting events last summer under agreements with nonprofit concessionaires. “... Just serving lunches does not make for a living in Burnsville,” said Gustafson, who has limited his business to the city and said he wants to stay here. “You need something to do in the evening.” Council Member Dan Kealey said the nonprofits might make more money by making deals to allow food trucks.

leading cause of death in women. Now through Easter, all Burlington stores, including its Apple Valley location, will feature a prominent red dress section. For every dress sold, Burlington will donate $1, up to $25,000, to WomenHeart to fund heart health education. Customers may also donate to the cause upon checkout.
There’s an “enormous” market for more interesting fare at local ballgames than “stuff purchased at Sam’s Club and resold over the counter,” Kealey said. Proposed food-truck regulations also include an annual fee on the businesses and performance standards such as hours of operation and sign rules. Officials don’t propose limiting the number of vendors or barring those that already have a permanent business location in Burnsville. Writing the ordinance will take about two months and include hearings before the parks and planning commissions, officials said.

At the Capitol Bill would regulate dog, cat breeders Former GOP staffer It aims to reduce inhumane treatment and abuse by Howard Lestrud ECM POLITICAL EDITOR
The current session of the Minnesota Legislature marks the sixth year an animal bill has been introduced to regulate dog and cat breeders. The Dog and Cat Breeder Regulation Bill aims to help eliminate dog and cat breeding practices and conditions that cause inhumane treatment and abuse. Regulation is supported in the bill language and would involve registration and licensing, annual inspections and enforcement and penalties. This legislation also aims at preventing the propagation of puppy and kitty mills. Sen. John Marty, DFLRoseville, is chief author in the Senate, says there are “sad illustrations” of dogs and cats being abused in less-than-favorable surroundings. “Lots of breeders are very good breeders, love pets and animals and make a living raising and selling them,” Marty said. Other breeders “cram things more tightly together” and pay less attention to the welfare of animals and are more concerned about making money with their business. The legislation does not
target small, hobby breeders that fall below the threshold of 10 or more adult animals and more than five total litters in a year, said Nancy Minion, who for 19 years has run the nonprofit Second Chance Animal Rescue. Animal bills “are tough to get passed,” Minion said. She has worked on animal legislation for 24 years as a citizen, she said. Minion’s nonprofit organization is a member of the Speak Up for Dogs and Cats coalition working to pass legislation to regulate the dog and cat breeding industry. It has been reported on the Animal Folks MN website that over 220 Minnesota veterinarians and vet technicians have signed a petition in support of breeder regulation. More than 50 Minnesota animal organizations reportedly have joined in support. It is also reported that over 18,000 petitions signed by Minnesotans in support of commercial dog and cat breeder regulation were delivered to state legislators. Marty and Minion both express optimism that the legislation will pass this session and reach Gov. Mark Dayton’s desk for a signature. All breeders will be required to register, Marty said, but only the larger breeders will be required to be licensed and inspected. Dog and cat breeding
is big business for some breeders, who have as many as 500 or more dogs or cats, Marty said. “In this case you are talking about a huge operation and a small licensing and inspection fee is not an onerous thing when other businesses have much more expensive fees and registration fees,” Marty said. Minion said she has rescued many animals that have been abused at breeding facilities. Opposition to the dog and cat breeder legislation has held up passage in previous years, Minion said. It comes from a variety of areas, she said. One of the opposition groups represents agricultural interests. Minion says they use a “slippery slope argument” that if you regulate dog and cat breeders, then you will come after the farms. “We are regulating the dog and cat breeding industry,” she said. Other opposition comes from breeders. “They’ve never been regulated before and don’t want to be,” she said. There is one situation where breeders are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s when a breeder sells animals wholesale to pet shops or other brokers or breeders. The USDA is not an enforcement agency, however, and only a regulatory agency. When the USDA observes unfa-
vorable situations, it issues a violation and asks the breeders to comply and fix the problems. The general public, Minion said, is becoming more aware of abuse of animals and when they notice something that is not quite right, they contact law enforcement more freely. The current legislation was reduced in length after supporters met with breeders. “There are many good breeders in Minnesota,” Minion said. “This is a bill to address a problem, this is a bill not to put anyone out of business, or not a bill to hurt anybody,” she added. The legislation will “bring us up to speed with other states and to make sure there are not situations where animals are suffering and are hidden from the public,” Minion said. “It is a community issue,” she believes. Thirty-two states currently have dog and cat breeder regulation. Minnesota reportedly is one of the top puppy producing states with some of the largest kennels in the United States. A rally supporting the dog and cat breeder bill is planned from 3 to 4 p.m. in the State Capitol Rotunda Tuesday, Feb. 19. Hundreds are expected to attend.

charged with DUI Test reveals Brodkorb was drunk when car crashed on I-35E by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK
Former Republican Senate staffer Michael Brodkorb faces DUI charges after blood tests determined he was intoxicated the night he crashed his car into a wall on I-35E in Lilydale. Brodkorb, an Eagan resident, was charged on Feb. 12 by the Lilydale city attorney with two counts of fourthdegree DUI, one count careless driving and one count of wearing no seat belt. The first three counts are misdemeanors, and the seat belt charge is a Michael Brodkorb petty misdemeanor. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found that Brodkorb had an alcohol concentration of 0.10, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Brodkorb, 39, was driving a 2004 Subaru Forester northbound on I-35E on Jan. 23 when it hit the wall at the walkway and came to rest against the jersey barrier near the Mendota Heights-Lilydale border, according to the State Patrol report. The road condition on the three-lane northbound section was described as dry at the time of incident. Brodkorb was seriously injured in the crash and spent several days at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. If convicted of the misdemeanor charges, Brodkorb could face a $1,000 fine and or up to 90 days in jail. He faces a $300 fine if convicted of the seat belt violation. Brodkorb has been at the center of attention after admitting to an affair he had with former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, when he was her executive assistant. He lost his job in December 2011, one day after Koch resigned her leadership position over an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer. Last July, Brodkorb filed a lawsuit against the Senate, the state of Minnesota and Secretary of the Senate Cal Ludeman claiming gender discrimination. He claims he was treated differently than female staffers who had affairs with male legislators. The lawsuit, which is pending, is seeking damages in excess of $500,000.

These and other topics will be addressed by University of Minnesota and Natural Resource and Conservation Service experts. Speakers will include Dr. Mark Seeley, Extension climatologist; Dr. John Lamb, Extension soil scientist; Douglas Miller, a Natural Resource and Conservation Service area resource soil scientist; Ken Ostlie, Extension entomologist; and Mike Plutowski, Dakota Electric energy service representative.

RELAY, from 1A From there, Relay For Life was born and is now held nationwide. The money raised helps support American Cancer society programs in research, education and advocacy. “When you think about all the lives cancer has touched, and the impact it has on our community, the relay is a way to get involved and help with the great work the American Cancer Society does,� said Adam Johnson, Apple Valley relay co-chair.
During the Apple Valley relay, there is music, food, entertainment and other activities throughout the night, and a “tent city� is created in the park where team members rest and regroup between running and walking sessions. Cancer survivors from around the community are invited to take part in the “survivors lap� that opens the relay, and a candlelight ceremony at dusk pays tribute to those who have been affected by the disease. The Apple Valley Relay For Life is seeking
donations of time, silent auction items and money from individuals and local businesses. Businesses that wish to donate silent auction items can contact Johnson at arjohnson10@stthomas.edu.

VETERAN, from 1A for a business hiring a disabled veteran, a $1,500 tax credit for hiring an unemployed veteran and a $500 tax credit for hiring a veteran. The taxes generated by getting the 30,000 unemployed veterans back to work, Wills believes, would cover the cost of the tax credit program. Wills and Wiger view their proposal as another tool in veterans employment. Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, who appeared at a Capitol press conference for the bill’s unveiling, spoke of many ripples coming off seemingly small pebbles. Dennis Davis, chief translation officer for Metafrazo, a firm focusing on veteran hiring prac-
tices, theorizes the lack of a sizable active-duty military presence in the state contributes to the high unemployment rate. “They don’t understand the culture,� he said of potential employers. Wills’ legislation is supported by veterans advocacy groups, including the Military Action Group, the United Veterans Legislative Council, the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans and the Association of the United States Army. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has offered a number of veterans initiatives in his proposed state budget. He is proposing to expand the Minnesota G.I. Bill by $1 million and slated another $1 million for county veteran service office grants.

Sports AV on course for wrestling showdown Notebook: State Section team tourney is Friday at Henry Sibley
by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK
The last couple of weeks have done little to answer the question of who might win if Apple Valley and St. MichaelAlbertville face each other, as high school wrestling observers predict will happen in the state Class AAA championship match Feb. 28. What is becoming clearer is that the chances of any other team winning the title are slim. The gap between No. 1-ranked STMA and No. 2 Apple Valley could be slim, but the difference between the top two and all other teams in Class
AAA appears chasm-like. No. 3-ranked Prior Lake wrestled the top two teams in a span of six days earlier this month and didn’t come within 30 points of either. Last week Apple Valley trounced Prior Lake 48-10 in a match that decided the South Suburban Conference championship. Both teams were 7-0 in the league going into the Feb. 7 match at Apple Valley High School, but the Eagles took a 9-0 lead after two matches and never looked back. Apple Valley’s Zach Chytka opened the meet with a 6-0 victory over Prior Lake’s Kenny O’Neil,
who’s ranked 10th in Class AAA at 106 pounds. In another marquee match at 220, the Eagles’ Paul Cheney, who’s ranked second in Class AAA at that weight, won 11-8 against Alex Hart, who is fourth at 195. The Eagles’ Gannon Volk, ranked first at 113, moved up to 120 to wrestle Tanner Johnshoy, a two-time state tournament runner-up. Johnshoy took an 8-3 decision. Maolu Woiwor (113), Mark Hall II (152), Daniel Woiwor (160) and Trom Peterson (195) pinned their Prior Lake opponents. Dayton Racer (145) won his match by techni-
cal fall. Seth Gross (132) and Lord Hyeamang (285) were winners by major decision, and Brock Morgan (126) and David Johnson (182) won by decision. Apple Valley lost three matches in the regular season, all to Illinois teams at the Clash Duals in Rochester. Although the Eagles and St. Michael-Albertville have been in a couple of the same invitationals this season, they have not gone head-to-head yet. But first, the Eagles have to get through the Section 3AAA team tournament Friday at Henry Sibley High School. They are the No. 1 seed, with See WRESTLING, 11A
Lightning falls; high seed still possible Eagan avenges earlier loss to Eastview boys by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK
Eagan clinched another South Suburban Conference boys hockey championship Saturday. The time for celebrating will come later. “Well, it was Senior Night, and I think they were in a hurry to get to the taco bar,” coach Mike Taylor said with a chuckle. “It was also Sadie Hawkins at school, and they had a dance to get to. There were a few handshakes, a few hugs, but it wasn’t a big celebration.” An 8-2 victory over Lakeville North gave Eagan its second consecutive SSC championship. Since the league formed in 2010, the Wildcats are 42-6-3 in conference games. With the conference title in its pocket and a No. 1 seed in the Section 3AA playoffs all but locked up, Eagan appeared to have little to play for Tuesday night at Eastview. The Wildcats did everything but go through the motions, spanking the Lightning 7-1. Eagan put the game out of reach by scoring four times in the third period, including twice on 5-on-3 advantages. “They beat us the last time (a 4-2 Eastview victory Jan. 12),” Taylor said. “We didn’t have to say too much. They have a very good goaltender, they hustle and work hard. Our kids know a lot of their kids, and they respect them.” It’s not out of the question that Eagan and Eastview could play again, this time with playoff survival at stake. While Eagan (203-1) is certain to be the top seed in Section 3AA, Eastview (14-9-1) is in contention with Cretin-Derham Hall and East Ridge for the No. 2 seed. Eastview’s regular-season victory over Eagan could work in the Lightning’s favor come section seeding time. The Section 3AA quarterfinal round is scheduled Feb. 21. When the playoffs start, Eagan will be seeking a

The Wildcats don’t have a lot of holdovers from last season; only Zach Glienke, Cullen Willox and Will Peterson scored more than eight points in 2011-12. “I think these kids are on a mission to prove they’re not just leftovers,” Taylor said. “They have very good chemistry and are a lot of fun to coach.” Glienke, recently named one of 10 finalists for the Mr. Hockey Award, scored a hat trick against Eastview. Josh Loew scored twice, and Jesse Gabrielle and Zach Schultz each had a goal and assist. Eastview sophomore goalie Zachary Driscoll stopped 64 of 66 shots in the Lightning’s Jan. 12 victory over Eagan. He saw 42 shots on goal in Tuesday’s game, including 17 in the third period. Kevin Wobschall
scored Eastview’s goal in the second period. The final South Suburban Conference games of the season are Saturday. Eagan (15-1 in league play) goes to Apple Valley at 2 p.m., while Eastview (8-7-1 plays at Prior Lake at 3 p.m.).
Rosemount The Irish rallied to beat Apple Valley 5-4 on Tuesday night, improving to 10-14 overall and 5-11 in the South Suburban. Rosemount also seems likely to stay out of the Section 3AA play-in game between the eighth and ninth seeds, scheduled for Feb. 19. The Irish are assured of finishing the regular season with more victories than three of the nine teams in the section. Avoiding the play-in game also means Rose-
mount probably would not have to play South Suburban Conference champion Eagan, the section’s likely No. 1 seed, in the quarterfinals Feb. 21. Five section teams – Eagan, Eastview, CretinDerham Hall, East Ridge and Hastings – currently have winning records. Three others – Woodbury, Apple Valley and Park of Cottage Grove – have six victories or fewer. Tuesday’s victory was Rosemount’s third in its last four games. The Irish, trailing 4-2 after two periods, scored three times in the third. Sophomore forward Lukas Gillett scored twice in the third period, completing a hat trick. He also had a goal in the second period. Junior defenseman JusSee HOCKEY, 11A

Several local dance teams – including two of the most successful programs in Minnesota high school history – will put their talents on display at this weekend’s state meet at Target Center in Minneapolis. Eagan, Eastview and Burnsville are among the qualifiers for the Class AAA Jazz Division competition, which will take place Friday. Eastview, Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley advanced in the High Kick Division, which will have its competition Saturday. Eastview is seeking a third consecutive state championship in High Kick. Eastview won Section 1AAA championships in High Kick and Jazz, as well as the South Suburban Conference championship. The Lightning has been a state dance team power for a decade with six High Kick championships since 2004. Eastview has been third in Jazz at the state meet the last three years. This is the 17th year the Minnesota State High School League has run the dance team competition (previous state meets were run by the Minnesota Association of Dancelines), but Burnsville’s history in dance team dates to the 1975-76 school year, when it placed fifth in High Kick. Burnsville has been to state in that division every year since, with the exception of 2010-11. The school’s High Kick teams have won 10 state championships. Eastview and Burnsville have dominated High Kick the last 15 years. Since 1998, each school has won the state championship six times. Eagan qualified its teams through the Section 3AAA meet. The Wildcats won a section title in Jazz for the first time, winning a tiebreaker against Forest Lake and Spring Lake Park. Eagan will compete in the Class AAA Jazz Division preliminaries at 2:05 p.m. Friday. Eastview will compete at 3:25 and Burnsville at 3:55. After the preliminaries, the top six teams will advance to the finals, which take place at 7:15 p.m. Friday. In Saturday’s Class AAA High Kick preliminaries, Eastview competes at 2:45 p.m., Eagan at 2:55, Burnsville at 3:35

That was an error. Garbe had, indeed, qualified for state by finishing in 14th place. He took the 10th and final spot available to individuals who aren’t members of one of the section’s two statequalifying teams. Garbe and Burnsville teammate Tom Flickinger competed at the state meet Wednesday, after this edition went to press. For an update on local skiers’ state performances, visit www.SunThisweek.com.
1,000-point club Two more local players recently reached the 1,000-point milestone for their high school basketball careers. Eastview sophomore Madison Guebert scored her 1,000th career point during the Lightning girls basketball team’s victory over Rosemount on Feb. 5. Guebert, the Lightning’s leading scorer, reached the mark in fewer than two full varsity seasons. On Tuesday, Apple Valley senior Jaryn Pipkins reached 1,000 career points in the Eagles’ 67-51 victory over Burnsville. Pipkins last week signed with Dartmouth College to compete in track and field.
Gymnastics sections Eagan High School is the site of the Section 3AA gymnastics meet at 5:30 p.m. Friday. Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington are teams from the Sun Thisweek area in the field. Park of Cottage Grove is the highest-ranked team in the field at No. 6 in Class AA. Rosemount is eighth and Farmington is 16th. The team champion will advance to the state meet Feb. 22 at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion. Also, four qualifiers in each of the four individual events, plus the top four in the allaround, will go to the state individual competition Feb. 23, also at the Sports Pavilion.

IOC decision shocks, baffles wrestling community Former, current AVHS competitors could be affected by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK
Wrestlers are trained to anticipate an opponent’s moves, but until Tuesday they had no reason to think of the International Olympic Committee as an adversary. Everything changed with the IOC’s recommendation to drop wrestling after the 2016 Games. Wrestlers, coaches and supporters across the world are struggling to understand why the recommendation was made and what, if anything, they can do to fight it. “I had no idea it was a possibility,” said Apple Valley High School head
wrestling coach Dalen Wasmund, a two-time U.S. Olympic team alternate. “It’s a hard pill to swallow. But maybe this will mobilize us and make the sport a lot stronger.” The recommendation has potential impact on at least a couple of current and former AVHS wrestlers. Destin McCauley, a five-time state champion while at Apple Valley, is a developmental resident at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs hoping to qualify for the 2016 Games. If the recommendation goes through, 2016 might be McCauley’s last shot at going to the Olympics. “I can’t believe this
news I’m waking up to,” McCauley wrote on his Twitter account. “No wrestling in 2020 Olympics?! I’m speechless.” Apple Valley ninthgrader Mark Hall, a two-time Minnesota state champion, also has Olympic ambitions. After finishing the high school wrestling season in 2012, he went to the U.S. Olympic Center to continue his training and completed his high school classes online. The recommendation would remove wrestling from the list of 25 “core sports” for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Wrestling now joins seven other “shortlisted sports” that
will make presentations to the IOC’s executive board in May in hopes of being put back in the Games. The IOC is scheduled to finalize the 2020 Olympic program in September. Baseball and softball were removed from the program in 2005 but are making a bid to return. Golf and rugby sevens become Olympic sports in 2016. Considering that wrestling was part of the ancient games as well as the modern era of Olympics that began in 1896, it’s not hard to understand why many in the sport were blindsided by the news. According to the International Federation
of Associated Wrestling Styles, the world amateur wrestling federation, the sport is in 180 countries and in a significant number of them it is the national sport. Pushback was expected from countries where wrestling is the national sport. At the same time, some of those associated with wrestling were saying Tuesday that the sport needed to make changes that would make it more attractive to a television audience. Wasmund, a teacher in School District 196 for 30 years, had a chance to attend the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He was an alternate on
the U.S. wrestling squad. “The Anaheim Convention Center, where the wrestling competition was held, was a neat place,” Wasmund said. “Getting a chance to interact with the other Olympic athletes was great. “There would still be the world championships and other international tournaments, but if wrestling was no longer in the Olympics, something would be missing. To wrestlers, the Olympics is a big deal.” Mike Shaughnessy is at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com or facebook.com/ sunthisweek.

Eagan back in familiar spot Wildcats, Lightning sought place in state girls hockey tourney all. Eastview defeated Apple Valley 3-1 in the other semifinal to advance to the section championship game for the second time in three years. The Lightning has never been to the state tourney. Eagan (17-9-1) tied Lakeville North and Lakeville South for the South Suburban Conference championship. Eastview (11-14-2 overall) finished eighth in the 10team SSC and had a 4-121 conference record.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley - Rosemount February 15, 2013 13A
FREEDOM, from 1A pornography led him into “deviant things,” including extramarital affairs. Hanson’s marriage did not survive the eventual revelation of his sexual addiction, but he sought treatment and continues with an accountability group; he has been free of pornography since Nov. 15, 2007. He said pornography is part of the “huge infrastructure” of human trafficking, built through “an economy of pain.” Breaking Free, a St. Paul anti-trafficking ministry, reported that about one-third of the prostitution victims it helps have also been used in pornography. Since seeking help, Hanson has remarried and has four children. “When people don’t confront this problem, it can really take control of their life,” Hanson said. “It can take them down a path they never sought originally.” For “Robert,” 51, of Eagan who asked that his last name not be used, that path led to a felony conviction. “In my case online porn led to voyeurism,” he said. Robert began secretly viewing online pornography on his phone, sometimes for hours. “You just lose track of time,” he said. “You look once, and then the sites are meant to constantly bombard you with new material.” Mark Bellows, former Lakeville mayor and a marriage and family therapist, said pornography is one of most common issues that arises in marriage counseling, and it can trap men or women. “It’s affordable, accessible and anonymous,” Bellows said, referring to the abundance of free Internet porn. “It’s a huge problem in the country and in churches.” He said watching sexual acts stimulates brain chemistry, and as with any kind of addict, over time it takes new and more extreme material to stimulate that same “high.” For Robert, the new material he found online were sites featuring hidden Web cameras. “It’s shots of people who have hidden Web cams on girlfriends,” he said. After viewing that, Robert
prostitutes and described the fear of getting caught as an adrenaline-builder that adds to the “excitement level” while anticipating the meet. “You’re completely high the whole time,” he said, describing the encounters as “never satisfying” and “always a terrible experience” that left him enveloped in guilt. “This is the most shamebased addiction there is,” James said.

and barricaded the door with his body. She said she used “defensive tactics” to allow for the arrest. One of the hardest parts of the job are the children, many runaways, she frequently sees being trafficked. “They live in survival mode 24/7,” she said. “It’s awful for them. They live in fear.” She also encounters the traffickers, many of whom are gang members. “They are exploitative,” she said. “They manipulate and control. They are violent and cruel. They’re awful people looking at making a quick dollar.” Abuse is also rampant in pornography, and former performers have said they were tricked or forced into it. Donny Pauling is a pastor’s son who spent nine years producing pornography and now works to expose its abuse and connection to human trafficking. He said he witnessed changes in the new “models” pornographers would regularly recruit. “They’d usually be college students or something, but over the course of time, you could just see them change,” he said. “You could see the life kinda get sucked out of their eyes.” Robert said he never really thought about the women in the videos he would watch, but would sometimes notice something was not right. “Occasionally, you could see in some of those videos on the women’s faces something indicated they didn’t want to be there,” he said. “You could see when someone was afraid.” When Jim Carlson, 26, of Eagan learned about the evils of human trafficking and realized his years of viewing pornography contributed to the problem, he was moved to change. His first pornographic exposure was a “Jerry Springer Uncensored” video at 12, and by college he was addicted to online pornography. The more he watched, the more he wanted something more shocking. “It was like a drug addict,” Carlson said. “I needed more to get the same high.” Carlson said he has learned

hid a camera in a bathroom a teenage relative used, but it was discovered. Police issued an immediate no-contact court order. A devastated Robert, who had a spotless record was jailed, charged and pleaded guilty; sentencing is this spring. He is in counseling and working to re-establish family relationships. Dakota County resident James, 44, who asked that his last name be withheld, suffered multiple homosexual rapes during his childhood, became addicted to crystal meth and was a high school dropout. “I got exposed to some really — twisted is the only word for it — porn early on,” he said. Abandoned by his father as an infant, others took advantage of that void. “I was abused, groomed by someone who got me involved in this gay thing,” he said. “But I’m not gay.” An alcoholic and sex addict, James is plagued with extreme shame, guilt and depression, battles against heterosexual pornography and struggles in relationships. “It emotionally disconnects you,” James said. “You are relying on porn rather than other people. It’s a mechanism that separates you from people.” He said it is not unusual for a sex addict to spend 60 hours per week viewing Internet porn while working full time. “It definitely makes you objectify women,” he said. “I think men do in general, but if you’re in the midst of sex addiction, especially porn, it’s all you can do.” James said he has paid for
Many sex addicts turn to prostitutes and human trafficking victims who are usually forced and/or brainwashed into “the life.” Heather Weyker, a St. Paul police officer who works undercover sex trafficking sting operations around the Twin Cities, said the johns she busts have included powerful attorneys, businessmen, legislators and drug addicts. “You never know what you’re going to get when he walks through the door,” Weyker said. “Some men stink, they’re grossly overweight and they have awful hygiene.” Many of the men leave their wedding ring in the car and tell her a fake name. “Some don’t tell me a name at all,” she said. The “johns,” or “hobbyists,” as they like to call themselves, find her online. Calls seeking sex come immediately after she has posted an ad. “If it’s longer than five minutes, something’s wrong,” Weyker said. Sometimes, the callers are pimps trying to “recruit” her. “They ask if I want to make more money with them,” Weyker said. The offer is a lie; girls almost never keep what they are paid, and many are left at truck stops or motels until they meet financial quotas. Weyker said she has had repeat busts of the same john, including a man she had arrested about two months prior, although neither recognized the other until the man started recounting the time he was busted. As soon as she gave the signal, he realized who she was

porn creates addictive patterns that causes the brain to continually seek novelty, a progression that spurs the cycle of shame and isolation that cuts away relationships, as he experienced with his mother, sisters and girlfriend. Seeking freedom from his addiction, he opened up to his girlfriend; shocked and hurt, she broke up with him. His desire to be free, increased awareness of the evils of human trafficking and growing faith in Jesus Christ last year gave him the strength to tell his then-fiancee Adri about his struggles. She responded with understanding and compassion. “We were sitting there looking at each other for about a half-hour,” Adri recalled. “He just started crying really, really hard, and I knew this is a big deal and it’s heavy on his heart. He said, ‘I have a problem with porn.’ ” She said she looked at him with grace and could see his raw pain. “I thought he is a man that needs freedom, and I want to support that,” she said. Adri is one of the organizers for Freedom Weekend, which starts this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at Hosanna! Church, 9600 163rd St. W., Lakeville. It continues Sunday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at International Outreach Church, located inside Destiny Christian Church at 12119 16th Ave. S., Burnsville, and from 6 to 9 p.m. at Community of Hope Church, 14401 Biscayne Ave., Rosemount. The event will include presentations and information about trafficking and also provide resources, prayer and help for anyone who struggles with pornography and sexual addiction. “So much of the porn out there today — it’s not just naked women anymore — it’s very, very violent,” Carlson said. “It’s demeaning and repulsive what happens to these women.” For more information, go to www.freedomeweekendmn. com.

Thisweekend Controversy came with bestseller status for young-adult author ‘Shine’ author Lauren Myracle to speak Feb. 23 at Galaxie Library by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK
Lauren Myracle’s young-adult fiction has brought her success and controversy. The realistic depictions of teenage life she brought to her bestselling “Internet Girls” series and other works landed the author on the American Library Association’s list of “Most Challenged Books,” based on complaints to libraries and schools, in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The 43-year-old Colorado author, who will be visiting the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley on Feb. 23 to talk about her writing as part of the “Teens Know Best” author series, says the “Internet Girls” books touch on many of the pressures and challenges she experienced as a teenager. “The books follow high school girls through sophomore, junior and senior years – they talk about sex, going to Planned Parenthood, drugs – one of them smokes pot and gets busted for buying pot,” she said. “All of these things were part of my teenage rites of passage.” Myracle says her intent with the “Internet Girls” series and other books is to encourage critical thinking among her readers and not, as some have
they’ve also brought the author acclaim. Myracle has received numerous honors from the American Library Association, including the placement of “Shine” on the ALA’s “Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults” list in 2012. She’s also credited with penning the first-ever novel written entirely in the style of instant-message conversations. For “ttyl” – published in 2005 and the first book in the “Internet Girls” series – Myracle asked some of the teenage girls she’d hired as babysitters to send her transcripts of their instant-messaging conversations from the Internet. “It was a great, fun challenge because you don’t have access to normal writing tools like exposition and setting,” she said of creating “ttyl,” which is a teen-speak phrase short for “talk to you later.” Myracle’s appearance at the Galaxie Library, which Photo submitted is sponsored by the MetWhile some of Lauren Myracle’s books have generated controversy, they’ve also brought the author acclaim. Myra- ropolitan Library Service cle has received numerous honors from the American Library Association, including the placement of “Shine” on the Agency, runs from 1 to ALA’s “Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults” list in 2012. 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, and admission is free.
