Safe haven in subzero cold Grace Lutheran hosts temporary homeless shelter by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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

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.� 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’s precincts, in addition to collecting the most votes in two of 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

Apple Valley Villa residents are spreading holiday cheer by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Residents at Apple Valley Villa are embracing the spirit of giving this holiday season with their gift program for retired military veterans. Earlier this month, about 20 residents at the senior-living apartments on the Augustana Care campus, 14650 Garrett Ave., gathered to assemble “Christmas Cheer� gift boxes for the Veterans Home in Minneapolis. “I love to see all of the participation,� said Judy Offenbacher, an Apple Valley Villa resident

who founded the program three years ago. “Everybody comes together and works hard at wrapping. I love to see the appreciation from all of the staff and veterans on Christmas.� Offenbacher said she started the program to honor her father, a World War II veteran. She was assisted in organizing the program this year by Dick Vatne, an Apple Valley Villa resident who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Within the last three years, Apple Valley Villa has delivered over 200 wrapped boxes to the Veterans Home.

Final Exit loses appeals court decision in Apple Valley case 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-yearold Doreen Dunn’s death. Final Exit was found guilty of felony assisting another to commit suicide and grossmisdemeanor interference with a dead body or death scene in May 2015. The indictment against Tallahassee, Floridabased 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 reprehen-

Grand jury clears Eagan police officer in shooting by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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 wellbeing 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.

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 commands, started backing out of the parking spot and fired at the officers. Two of the three officers fired back and Tennessen struck KulhanekDerks in the head. After approaching the vehicle, they found KulhanekDerks slumped over in the driver’s seat with a 9mm handgun. He didn’t have a pulse. Emergency medical personnel con- Email Andy R ogers at firmed his death. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

sible,� 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 con-

fident 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 MelchertDinkel. “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-of-life 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, Melchert-Dinkel, a Faribault resident posing as a female nurse, contacted two different people through the Internet and started conversations with them in which he was found to have “assisted� one person in a death by suicide. After an appeal of his conviction to the Minnesota Supreme Court, the court determined that

“assists� means “proscrib(ing) speech or conduct that provides another person with what is needed for the person to commit suicide� or “enabl(ing) the person to commit suicide.� The case also further found that the speech must be directed to a specific individual and not merely expressing a moral viewpoint or providing general comfort or support. Melchert-Dinkel served nearly six months in jail after his 2014 conviction and remains on 10 years of probation, according to the Faribault Daily News report of March 2016. Final Exit was ordered on Aug. 24, 2015, to pay a $30,000 fine and approximately $3,000 in restitution in connection to the Dunn case. The sentence included a stay of execution of 21 months in prison and 15 years of probation. While a corporate entity cannot be sent to prison, under Minnesota law the prison term establishes that the offense is a felony. Final Exit was on probation until the fine and restitution was paid, which the group said on its website it would pay immediately. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

Firefighters rescue two drowning dogs Fire crew uses neighbor’s canoe by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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 at about 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. “We had a crew of three firefighters who found a canoe from one of the neighbors,� said T.C. Schellinger, Eagan fire captain. “They grabbed life jackets and rope from the truck and found a couple poles and grabbed the dogs.� Residential houses are along part of the lake. Both dogs were returned home safe to their owners thanks to firefighters’ efforts. The dogs were covered in blankets and towels and were able to walk back to their owners on their own. They didn’t need any medical attention. “It’s not a call we normally get, but we all train for it,� Schellinger said. “It’s a skill we don’t nec-

essarily want to use, but we’re prepared for when it happens.� The department has a truck with equipment for water rescue, but the truck on the scene was closer at the time.

Although it’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. “They have good information on whether it’s safe to go out on the lake,� Schellinger said. Email Andy R ogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

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

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.

At Trump Tower Burnsville’s Kautz, other mayors discuss issues with president-elect by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The foyer outside the office was “very beautiful,� not “huge.� The office itself was “not ostentatious,� the desk a “normal desk.� Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz formed these impressions Dec. 15 while visiting the 26th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan, home of Donald Trump’s private office and the epicenter of the president-elect’s transition team. Kautz was part of a five-member delegation from the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which she led as president from 20092011. The group met with Trump for a half hour and had a separate meeting with Vice Presidentelect Mike Pence. “Both he and Vice President-elect Pence were very engaging, very personable, friendly, and they listened,� said Burnsville’s mayor since 1995, the first Minnesotan and fifth woman to lead the nonpartisan mayors group for cities of 30,000 or more. “So I’m very optimistic about the direction of the relationship, and I think we created a very solid rapport.� In broad strokes, Kautz said, the Republican president-elect agreed with the mayors on their

top priorities, though policy details have yet to emerge from the new administration. “He looked directly at me when I was speaking and making remarks about the things that we need as mayors throughout the country,� she said. “But he’s also very competitive. He asked, ‘How is the current administration working on all of those things? If they’re not doing as well, we’re going to do better.’ � The mayors group, led by President Mick Cornett, mayor of Oklahoma City, focused on tax-exempt bonds, infrastructure, public safety and economic vitality, Kautz said. Cities are “the engine of the economy,� she said. “We drive it. (Trump) looked at me and said, ‘I get it; I’m there.’ � Trump strongly supported continued tax exemptions for bonds sold by local and state governments to fund infrastructure projects, according to the mayors. President Obama has proposed capping the benefit to higher-income bond investors, and some observers say House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, hasn’t been clear about how he would treat the tax exemption for municipal bond interest in his proposed tax reforms.

theran ranged in age from infants to senior citizens. Richard, an adult guest at Grace Lutheran last weekend, said he and a friend had been sleeping in his car in Eagan, and the cold weather combined with his car’s broken heater had made their situation desperate. On the waiting list at the men’s homeless shelter in Hastings, Richard said he learned about the temporary site at Grace Lutheran through an Eagan police officer. “This really saved us,� he said. “It has been phenomenal.

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.

Dakota County Public Health effort aims to 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 re-

cent 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 important 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 men-

tal 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 co-workers 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 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. To find out more, contact Dakota County Public Health at public.health@co.dakota.mn.us or 651-554-6100. 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.

two-story buildings along with a maintenance and office building with a community room and a threebedroom caretaker’s unit. It would feature both one-bedroom and twobedroom apartments. The units would be located along 145th Street West between the railroad and El Dorado Packaging, previously know as the Greif Brothers building. Kyle Klatt, Rosemount senior planner, said it’s been a challenging site to work with in the past. “It’s a very oddly con-

figured parcel,� he said. It’s surrounded by commercial and residential property along with two lines of railroad tracks, but it’s close to downtown, parks and several major roads. The complex is expected to be built during several phases over seven years. “The idea is to put up one building every year, assuming the market is good and they have a demand for the product,� Klatt said. Property owner Warren Israelson of Copper-

head Development Inc. is also the CEO of KJ Walk, which has developed many properties in the area, including Meadow Creek in Farmington, Stoneborough in Lakeville and Providence in Empire Township. The process for Rosewood Crossing has taken several months of meetings and public hearings to get to this point. During a public hearing in October, several residents said they didn’t support any residential site on the location, pre-

garages and surface level parking Klatt said after the third building is built, he’s suggesting the development do a parking study to identify any problems and one of the buildings could come off the plans. During a planning commission meeting in November, the plans were revised to reduce the number of units from 232 to 225, and added additional parking space along with other landscaping, sidewalk, lighting and lane access adjustments.

ferring a business park or governmental use for the site, noting an increase in traffic. The complex would be accessed by residents through 145th Street West, not through other residential streets. A traffic evaluation conducted by the city’s consulting engineer WSB & Associates showed the development shouldn’t overburden 145th Street, but it did recommend some modifications to the complex’s entrance. City officials were more concerned about parking. There is no underground parking, but there will be

Sports Lightning jumps into South Suburban hockey lead Eastview tops AV to stay unbeaten in league by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s 4-1 victory over Apple Valley last Saturday, combined with Prior Lake’s loss to Rosemount, sent the Lightning to the top of the South Suburban Conference boys hockey standings. The Lightning, 4-0 in the conference and 5-2 overall, also has a fivegame winning streak after dropping its first two games of the season. It’s not difficult to find the reason for the turnaround. Eastview allowed 13 goals in its first two games, losses to St. Thomas Academy and HillMurray, but only five in its last five games, and just two in the last four games. Ben Beattie, a junior, has been in goal for all four of Eastview’s conference victories and has a 1.98 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. He stopped 39 shots in a 1-0 victory over Lakeville South on Dec. 15. Zach Herro, a junior, has played two games in goal, including a 3-0 victory over Hastings on Dec. 13. After falling behind Apple Valley 1-0 in Saturday’s game at Apple Valley Sports Arena, Eastview struck back with goals by Noah Lindner and Tyler Kukowski less than two minutes apart late in the second period. In the third, Jesse Fan and Nate Bordson scored 27 seconds

Senior forward Jake Ford had two assists and Beattie made 14 saves. Eastview and Lakeville South combined for 71 shots on goal in their Dec. 13 South Suburban Conference game, but only one found its way into the net. Junior forward Chris Fan scored the game’s only goal 2 minutes, 42 seconds into the third period, with Jesse Fan and Zach Anderson assisting. Chris Fan, Jesse Fan and Anderson are the Lightning’s scoring lead-

ers, each with seven points through seven games. Anderson leads the team with four goals. Ford has six points, and Lindner and Kukowski have five each. Apple Valley (3-4 overall, 1-3 South Suburban) held Eastview to 19 shots Saturday, but the Eagles saw the game get away from them in the second and third periods. That came less than two days after they lost a two-goal lead against Farmington and fell to the Tigers 4-2. Apple Valley also lost a one-goal game against

Prior Lake, which until Saturday was tied for the conference lead. “I think our kids have seen that when we’re doing what we’re supposed to do, we’re getting some good results,” Eagles coach Chris Sikich said. “For whatever reason, sometimes we deviate from our plan. We came out strong in the first period against Eastview and kept it up early in the second period, when we scored. We had a bit of a letdown later in the second period and (Eastview) got two quick

four assists) through seven games. Wright, who has seven points, has returned to defense after seeing some time at forward because of the Eagles’ injuries. “When we’ve played well, we haven’t spent a lot of time in our defensive zone,” Sikich said. “We’ve been able to keep the puck in the offensive zone. We haven’t allowed more than 25 shots in a game all season. Now we just need to be a little more consistent.” Part of that sought-after consistency would include putting more pucks in the net. Apple Valley has 19 goals through seven games, and 13 of those came in non-conference victories over Coon Rapids and Owatonna. In conference play, Apple Valley has been averaging 1.5 goals a game. The Eagles play at Lakeville North at 7 p.m. Thursday, then will go to the Duluth Denfeld holiday tournament next week. Apple Valley’s first game in the tournament is against Mankato West at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 27, at Heritage Sports Center. Eastview will try to maintain its South Suburban lead when it plays host to Eagan at 7 p.m. Thursday at Apple Valley Sports Arena. The Lightning will not play in a holiday tournament but will face Champlin Park in a non-conference game at home at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

goals, and then they got two more quick ones in the third.” Ryan Gale scored Apple Valley’s goal against Eastview at 4:37 of the second period. Will Wright and Chad Messerich assisted. Junior goalie Lucky Bolden made 15 saves. After dealing with some injuries early in the season, Sikich said the Eagles are healthy now and are skating three lines and five defensemen regularly.

Eagles get it done again against Panthers in boys hoops Apple Valley pulls away in second half of SSC opener 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 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. Apple Valley used a rotation of defenders against the University of Wisconsin-bound Reuvers. “He’s 6-10 and can shoot the three, so you almost have to guard him with your biggest guy, which traditionally is not your quickest guy,” Apple Valley coach Zach Goring said. “He has very good perimeter skills. He’s also very crafty and creative around the hoop, which makes him a tough matchup. We had three guys who I thought did a pretty good job on him.” Mohamed Kone and Nathan Macho had 13 points each for Apple Val-

ley, with Mason Morse scoring 12. Luke Martens got six rebounds in about 13 minutes of playing time. Goring said he likes his team’s balance but was relieved to not lose Jones to fouls. The Eagles junior picked up his fourth foul with 3:45 remaining. “I knew he wouldn’t gamble. He pretty much shut it down and kept his hands back defensively, but I was worried about him getting a charge with how aggressive he is going to the basket,” Goring said. “If he fouls out with 3:30 left, it’s likely a different game.” “I knew I couldn’t foul again because our coach wanted the ball in my hands,” Jones said. “I had to pay a little more attention, be a little smarter out there so I didn’t pick up a cheap one.” Apple Valley goes to the Granite City Classic in St. Cloud next week. The Eagles play a Wisconsin school, Madison East, in the first round before facing another Minnesota heavyweight, Maple Grove, on the second day. Maple Grove’s top player is guard Brad Davison, who’s soon to be Reuvers’ teammate at Wisconsin.

Breckenridge has been a leader, member and long-time supporter of JASM. She created, developed and grew The Japanese Library in Bloomington. The private library contains over 40,000 Japanese books and 4,000 videos on a broad range of topics including children’s books, young adult, fiction and non-fiction classics, business books and Japanese comic books. The library is also used for monthly meetings of Nihonjinkai, a local group that supports Japanese who live in Minnesota and makes connections with people who love Japanese culture. “In addition to her great success as a Realtor, Yoko is a tireless advocate for cultural exchange between Japanese Americans and the community throughout Minnesota� said Robin Peterson, president of Coldwell Banker Burnet. “We are proud of her dedication and commitment to her real estate clients and to her cultural heritage and community.� Breckenridge originally arrived in Redwood, Minnesota, as a “Japanese war bride� after the end of World War II. She rose from an original career as a

barber to becoming a successful real estate agent. Breckenridge became licensed in 1979 and in 1980 affiliated with Coldwell Banker in its Apple Valley office, where she continues to be associated. By 1982 Breckenridge was the top selling agent in the company among some 450 agents. Today, at 83, she continues as an active Coldwell Banker Burnet independent sales associate. The Mondale Award is presented annually by the Japan American Society of Minnesota to individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the JapanMinnesota relationship through a variety of leadership, activities, projects and initiatives. The award was created in 1997 by the society for the Japan-Minnesota Partnership to honor the work of Walter Mondale as ambassador to Japan during the Clinton administration. Mondale and his wife Joan were the first to receive the award to recognize his service as ambassador and her ongoing efforts to promote the arts in both countries.

No credit, no accolades, just a sense of accomplishment that you’ve created something. Farmington High School’s Web Genius, a group of juniors and seniors dedicated to user-friendly web design, has launched two registration guides to make the process for choosing classes, and extra-curricular activities, easier to navigate for high school students. Last year Jerry Pfau, a school counselor, recruited seniors Andy Payne and Emma Kelly to start the project. Gavin Mallott, also a senior, and a couple other students joined the team. The students created a Google site under the name “FHS Creativity Collective” as their first launch and it took almost nine months to finish, ready for publication just three days before the deadline.

group strives for a lack of hierarchy and to validate everyone’s ideas. Payne hopes to see the group continue to grow as he pursues a career in the medical field. Even though what he hopes to study doesn’t necessarily relate to web design, he has recognized the value in thinking creatively and having to problem-solve in a group. Seyfert, who joined due to his web design skills and computer skills, would love to be able to design the entire school’s website one day, and Asmus wants to recruit more students so they can continue to expand. Kelly will be beginning her pursuit of marketing next fall and is excited to be able to use what she’s learned in Web Genius, especially since it was her “favorite part about high school.” With an endearing chuckle, she said it could be interesting at

times being one of the group’s only two females among 12-15 boys. Her advice to girls breaking into computer science and other typically male-dominated fields? “If you’re interested in something, don’t be afraid to go after it,” she said. Pfau wishes that the students could stay in the group, but he also is excited for the seniors to use this experience to go on to do bigger and better things. He hopes to see more clubs and projects of this nature at FHS: “These students are only scratching the surface at what we’re hoping to accomplish down the line, which is to get more real-life experiences and to make actual contributions and learn a ton along the way.” The students’ handiwork can be seen at http:// tinyurl.com/guye3sb.

Five tax return tips for current college students College students are typically at one of the lowest tax rates, but wading through education credits, financial aid and savings plans can make their tax returns complex. “Discussing taxes with your college-age kids may not seem necessary. However, as kids start coming home for the holidays, ensure you’re both on the same page for tax season because there are special tax considerations for both students and parents,” said Ann Etter, CPA, vice president at Goodney & Associates, PA in Northfield. These five tax tips from the Minnesota Society of

With the second launching, the school granted them server space and this time juniors Carl Asmus, Sam Seyfert and Cameron Mager all joined the team in helping to design a Drupal site. The students all worked to create a cohesive aesthetic to the site, as well as logical links and icons to different departments, both by gradelevel and subject. The site also features flowcharts to help students understand the curriculum paths and needed credits for graduation. When asked who leads the team in creating the site, everyone pointed to Payne and he said he wasn’t quite sure how he was designated with that title, he simply saw things that needed to be done and assigned tasks and roles as necessary. He now sees Asmus as a leader figure of this school year and going into 201718. For the most part, the

Certified Public Accountants will help college students — and their parents — navigate tax returns from freshman year to graduation. 1. Work study counts toward income, but financial aid rarely does. In many cases, grants, scholarships and loans through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and other financial aid have little to no effect on tax returns; money given for education is generally not taxable. However, if the student received scholarships and grants in excess of tuition, fees, supplies, books and equipment, this may count as reportable taxable income. 2. A full-time student’s income threshold for filing

a return is $6,300. In some cases, full-time students will not earn enough to need to file a return. The current income limit is $6,300 for a dependent who did not have anything withheld and who has no unearned income. If a student had income tax withheld and income is less than $6,300, file to get a refund. 3. Funds from 529 plans should be spent in the same calendar year they are withdrawn. For tax returns, the IRS looks at the calendar year, not the academic year. To avoid issues and a potential tax burden, make sure withdrawn funds from 529 plans are put toward tuition expenses in the same calendar year. 4. Have a conversa-

tion about the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC). The AOTC is available for the first four years of undergraduate school. To qualify, the student must be enrolled more than half time, and have $4,000 of school expenses not paid for by grants, scholarships, or 529 or other education plan distributions. 5. Form 1098-T must be in hand when claiming education credits. Form 1098-T is sent to students, but typically used by parents when the student is a dependent. New this year, the form must be in hand when claiming education credits. Visit CPAmeASAP.com or call 800-331-4288 to connect with a CPA.
