Once referred to an invisible illness, people are starting to open up about mental health issues. Twin Cities-based People Incorporated would like to help. The mental health nonprofit recently opened its new Training Institute at 860 Blue Gentian Road in Eagan. Russ Turner, People Incorporated’s senior training manager, said the timing is right. “People are ready for a discussion about mental health at a more advanced

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When Erin Mammen became pregnant for the second time, her husband, Chris, began dreaming of the child’s future. It all came into focus, from birth to college. At 20 weeks the Farmington couple learned the baby’s sex and named her Paige, their chosen girl’s name. At 24 weeks Erin went into labor, the same day — March 8, 2015 — she was told her daughter’s heart had stopped. “I’m not going to say it’s like your heart is being pulled out, but all of that planning and vision and everything just gets removed, and you just feel so alone and lost and reach for whatever you can grab onto as a symbol of that,� Chris said. “There’s a physical ache in your arms after you’ve lost a baby,� said Erin, who was told the stillbirth was probably caused by a cord accident that prevented Paige from receiving nutrients. “You want to be holding a baby and there’s not a replacement for that, but having something to hold onto helps just a little.� That’s what Paige Bears are for. To keep Paige’s memory alive and help other parents cope with stillborn or newborn loss, the Mammens donate stuffed bears to metro-area hospitals. The bears are brown with a purple bow and come with a note of condolence and solidarity signed, “Love, Paige’s mom and dad.� Erin started the project in 2015 to mark Paige’s June 28 due date. She donated the first five bears to Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, where she delivered Paige and where both Mammens work — Erin as a nutrition supervi-

Encouraged by the response, the couple kept at it, donating about 125 bears two years ago and 165 last year. This year they’re on pace to donate 180, said Erin, who attracts about $1,100 a year in crowdfunding to help support the effort. Some 20 hospitals have received Paige Bears. Erin buys them in bulk at a discount and affixes the purple bow because “purple I consider my daughter’s color,� she said. Most of the bears are donated in March, around Paige’s birthday. Recipients have included most of the Fairview Health Services hospitals. “It’s just been bigger than I ever imagined,� said Erin, who promotes the campaign through Facebook and formed a partnership with the Star Legacy Foundation, which promotes stillbirth prevention, education and family support. “It’s been really cool.�

At first she wasn’t sure how the bears would be accepted. “I didn’t really know how people would react to it, just because stillbirth has come a long way over the years, where babies are recognized as your babies, as they should be,� she said. “But 35-40 years ago, I’ve heard of many stories where women were just told, ‘Don’t see your babies; don’t look at them.’ It has come a long way, as it should have.� Many of the bears have gone home with the families and become part of the household, Erin said. She and Chris, who have a 5-year-old daughter, Ellie, and a son, Grant, who turns 2 on July 9, will always make room for Paige’s memory. “We named her, we buried her, she has her own little headstone with her name on it,� Erin said.

Dance party coming to Apple Valley Cover band to carry on 40-year tradition at Frozen Apple Concert Series

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Coca-Cola wanted to teach the world to sing. The Riverside Hitmen want to get the world to dance. The band started 40 years ago, in the late 70s. Kyle Tennis joined over a decade ago. “We are a party band. The goal is to play party music. We want to get people to dance and have fun,� Tennis said. “We have a vision to unite people through music. We want to get people together — give them an excuse to get together — to dance together and forget about their problems.� Tennis said the band has been successful because they have a common goal, they enjoy working together and they play music people like. Everyone in the band is a professional musician, and they play together nearly every weekend. They’ve got 50 performances booked for this year, and Tennis expects they’ll have the same number next year and the year after. The Riverside Hitmen will perform in Apple Valley on Saturday, March 10, at Valleywood Golf Course as the final concert in the Frozen Apple Concert Series, hosted by the Apple Valley Arts Foundation. “We’ve all been in the industry for a long time, and

We have a common goal, and if we do that respectfully and keep all the clients in mind, we’ll keep making music together for a long time.� The Riverside Hitmen usually plays with a core band of six or nine members, but about 40 people make up the team. “We are kind of like an all-encompassing entertainment,� Tennis said. “We play in jazz trios, acoustic duos, sometimes we have a horn system.

or whatever we need with us.� At Saturday’s concert, the band will include Tennis on guitar, Justin Rieken on bass, Liz Kuivinen on keyboard, Peter Buxman on drums and vocals from Zach Lemmens and Jennifer Grimm. Most of the members have been part of the band for at least 10 years. Even the “newer members� are now three-year veterans. The members know that carrying on a 40-year tradition doesn’t mean sticking to the classics alone. Their setlist will include songs from a variety of popular artists, such as: Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake,

Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor. Although they’ll show up on Saturday with a plan, Tennis said they often change up their setlist as they go based on the energy of the crowd. “We focus on people and not on just the music,� Tennis said. “It’s so easy for cover bands just to think about themselves or the music, and our goal is to custom-create events. Every performance we do is different. Every night is a different set of music.� Tennis leads five different bands. He plays music for freelance projects, plays at a few churches and teaches music at North Central University.

He works most, however, with the Riverside Hitmen. He said it’s enjoyable because there’s no drama in the group. “It means that we get to laugh together on stage a bit more and have fun,� Tennis said. This is not the first time the Riverside Hitmen has played in Apple Valley. Tennis said that when they played at the Kelley Park in the summer, there were a lot of kids in the audience, so they played several radio hits that they could sing and dance along to. Last year, at the Frozen Apple Concert series, the band decided to get the party going when audience members began changing the set-up of the room midconcert. �People started taking chairs away and dancing in the aisles, and we said, ‘Let’s turn it up,’ � Tennis said. “We change things on the fly all the time based on what happens, and we’ll do that again this time if we need to.� The free concert goes from 6-9 p.m. at the Valleywood Golf Course Clubhouse, located in Apple Valley at 4851 McAndrews Road. Doors open at 5 p.m., and food and drinks will be available for purchase. Attendees will be entered into prize drawings, but must be present at the end of the concert to win. President and chair-

woman of the AVAF Board Sonya Busch has been impressed with the turnout each week. “This season has been really spectacular,� Busch said. “Attendance has been out of this world. Every night has been a packed house.� She said the audience and the artists have made the series what it is. “It’s been great to bring in a new artist in addition to some of the old favorites, and I’m really looking forward to this Saturday,� Busch said. Mary Hamann-Roland, Apple Valley mayor and AVAF vice president of development and philanthropy, called it a shining success. She thanked Uponor and Think Mutual Bank for their platinum sponsorship and Sam’s Club for donating prizes. “The community has packed the house at every performance and has demonstrated their love of live music,� she said. “Music is alive in Apple Valley!� For more information about the Riverside Hitmen, visit www.riversideentertainmentmn.com.

Bill extends protections to students 18 and older

Supporters cite Burnsville High teacher-student sex case

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When state Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Savage, learned of allegations that a Burnsville High School teacher had consensual sex with an 18-year-old senior, he instantly thought the act must have been criminal. So did constituents he heard from, Christensen said. But it wasn’t. It’s not a crime in Minnesota for a teacher, coach or other school authority to have sexual relations with high school students 18 and older. Christensen has proposed legislation to change that. His bill got its first hearing before the House education policy committee this week. “I think we could all agree that a teacher has a position of authority over their students,� said Christensen, whose district includes part of northwest Burnsville and all of Savage. “I think this had really been an oversight in state law before that this is not illegal. I think it’s just completely inappropriate and disturbing behavior from teachers that ought to be able to be prosecuted.� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom, who unsuccessfully proposed such legislation in 2008, was scheduled to testify Wednesday before the House committee.

“In my view, when you have someone who’s in a position of authority over a high school student, they should not be taking advantage of that position of authority to entice the student into a sexual relationship,� Backstrom said. “Whether that student could lawfully consent or not, it’s just wrong, it’s inappropriate, and it shouldn’t be happening.� In the past several years his office has reviewed two cases involving high school teacher-coaches who had sexual relations with 18-year-old students, according to Backstrom. One was in Hastings several years ago, he said. The Burnsville case involved former social studies teacher and boys and girls head tennis coach Ben Stapp. KARE 11 reported last October that an 18-year-old female and BHS senior told police she had consensual sex with Stapp in his locked classroom during her lunch hour.

“KARE also discovered that even when the Minnesota Department of Education receives reports of teachers having sex with students, they don’t investigate either, unless the sexual relationship began before the student turned 18,� the story said. In the wake of the incident, Stapp resigned from Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 effective Jan. 18, 2017. KARE reported that after learning about the allegations, the Minnesota Board of Teaching threatened to start proceedings to revoke Stapp’s teaching license for “immoral character� or for violating an ethical code barring teachers from using professional relationships for private advantage. Stapp eventually surrendered his license, KARE reported. Christensen’s bill makes it a crime for any employee, independent contractor or volunteer in a secondary school to have sexual relations or contact with

a student ages 16 to 21 who hasn’t graduated or received a diploma if that person is in a position of authority over the student. Under the bill, the crime would be third-degree criminal sexual conduct for sexual penetration and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct for sexual contact. The proposal extends protections already in law for younger secondary school students to those who are 18 and older. They include students who may not finish their diplomas on time and special-needs students who might attend school through age 21, Backstrom said. Sexually predatory teacher-student relationships “can have long-term adverse impacts on what I view as vulnerable youth,� he said. Sen. Jim Carlson, DFLEagan, is sponsoring the legislation in the Senate, Backstrom said.

Opinion This is a good time to celebrate sunshine by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The worst of winter is behind us. We’ve survived many subzero mornings, snowy days and miserable commutes on ice-covered highways. Now March is here and we are anticipating lots of sunshine to melt the snow and bring our lawns and trees to life. There’s another reason to appreciate the power of sunshine this month, as news media from throughout the country mark Sunshine Week, March 11-17. The week is sponsored by American Society of News Editors and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, highlighting the importance of “sunshine” in government. The premise is simple: The public’s business should be done in full view of the people it serves. Decisions should be transparent. The facts and determinations in staff reports should be public. The debates by elected officials that preceded the decision should be made in public session. Open government and access to records is essential to our basic freedoms as Americans. Records and documents should always be available to the public. The press is part of that public – we along with ev-

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken ery citizen should have the ability to read a police report, study the numbers in a budget summary or see the bids for a big public works project. In most cases in our cities and school districts, staff is forthcoming with plenty of details and receptive to requests for additional information. Mayors, council members and board members are willing to answer questions and share their opinions. Our reporters and editors communicate with local government officials and employees every week. Sometimes our requests are simple – to clarify a budget item or to locate a bit of background on an issue. The very fact that a journalist is paying attention to government details encourages officials to keep the public nature of their work in mind. Sometimes we must make the quest for information more formal. Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices

Act, we can request documents, reports, forms, emails and other government information. We have done so many times in the past and will do so again when the need arises. Citizens also play an important role in keeping decisions open and transparent. Every year, local governments conduct annual budget hearings, where the public is given the chance to review the plan for the coming year and comment. Unfortunately, many of our journalists will tell you that often, no one from the public attends. Now I fully understand that city council and school board budget hearings are not the most exciting way to spend an evening, but public input remains vital. Budgets decide the spending and revenues for the coming year – which in turn sets priorities and guides policies. The great majority of our local officials do not hesitate to share public documents and data when asked. A handful prefers to keep anything sensitive or potentially controversial quiet. Occasionally we end up at odds: We want data or records that governmental bodies do not want us to have. Our intent is not to embarrass or sensationalize a situation. However, we may feel it necessary to report on details that might bring a big de-

cision into question or expose a potential conflict of interest. In all cases, we pursue information for you, facts and figures you have every right to know. Sen. John McCain, speaking last winter on Meet the Press, said this: “If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and, many times, adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That’s how dictators get started.” Sunshine Week is an appropriate time to recognize the importance of open government and a free press and to appreciate our public officials who support openness in all aspects of public business. Just as sunshine will soon transform Minnesota from endless browns and grays into a hundred shades of green, sunshine transforms local government into transparent organizations that serve us – all citizens – very well.

Letters Make bump stocks illegal To the editor: The NRA used to support common sense gun control, in fact, their president lobbied for it. They assisted President Franklin D. Roosevelt in drafting the 1934 National Firearms Act and the 1938 Gun Control Act. A primary component was making machine guns illegal. This was a direct result of crimes committed with machine guns. If Congress made machine guns illegal, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t make bump stocks illegal since they essentially turn a gun into an equivalent of a machine gun. I don’t advocate for the taking away of guns all together. But I believe the bump stocks and AR-15s (and similar guns) should be illegal. I have three children, and this will be my number one issue for de-

ciding which candidates I vote for. Everyone I speak with is outraged that Congress continues to do nothing about gun control. But, outrage won’t change policy. Everyone who is outraged needs to speak to their elected representatives to make sure they are actually representing their constituents. BONITA SZYMANSKI Apple Valley

Lewis should seek opinions on gun control To the editor: In 2016, U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis was elected to represent his constituents. As a Republican, he sided with his party’s anti-gun control stance. He voted for legislation that satisfied the conservative agenda. As one of his constituents, I’m appalled by his lack of adjustment to national circumstance.

Before his election, Lewis advocated on Twitter that domestic terrorism would not be stopped by gun control – it would be solved by immigration control and border security. I hope that in the past two years, he has taken a full U-turn on those views. From 1972 to 2017, a clear majority of mass shooters have been white. Majority of the firearms in the total number of shootings were bought legally – a nearly a 3.5:1 factor. These aren’t undocumented immigrants performing egregious acts of domestic terrorism. They are Americans who have decided that they will utilize their weapons to achieve their agendas. When people started to die from car crashes, we decided that cars should be a heavily regulated enterprise, with tremendous safety equipment to save lives. When a domestic terrorist put explosives into his shoes, our country

decided that every person in a security line would take off their shoes for the plane to be safe. However, when adults and children in schools die, does Lewis have the courage to face his constituency and ask how best he can adapt his advocacy on safety for people? Perhaps it has to do with Lewis’s 86 percent rating by the National Rifle Association, or the political contributions he has received from the lobbying organization. In his defense, he recently published a survey to gather information about his constituencies opinions. The only question about gun laws: “What are your feelings about the second amendment?” The phrasing of this question and the slanted wording of the multiple-choice answers gives the impression that he thinks that any control or imposition on restricting access to guns for those that pose a marginal threat to their community is unconstitutional. I hope he decides to face his constituents, understand the nuanced perspectives and opinions surrounding the issue, and ultimately advocate for our compassionate community fairly in Congress.

Not everyone is doing well economically

U.S. Congress apparently bent on “benign neglect,” an approach discredited decades ago. Local chambers of commerce and others committed to our community and economy believe the ability to buy fresh produce for children’s developing brains should not depend strictly on their parents’ income. Struggling hardworking families in our area deserve better. Meantime immigrants also struggle to keep their families together and feed them, much as our ancestors did when they came to this country. U.S. Rep. Lewis, R2nd District, and Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith must do what they can. Lewis had very little to say on the topic in a recent tele-town hall. Second District DFL challengers Jeff Erdmann and Angie Craig have both addressed the topic in appearances, debates and meetings with people around the district. Residents in the 2nd District need actions to protect an economy with opportunity for all, not just those in upper income brackets.

To the editor: Recent letters paint a rosy picture about our common financial wellbeing which I believe has some strong inherent challenges. Not everyone is doing as well as some would like us to think. South metro seniors are not the only ones looking for extra jobs.

Major Torres, 5, of Apple Valley made a dream of his come true on his birthday Feb. 20 when he co-hosted FOX-9’s “The Jason Show” with Jason Matheson. Major likes the show so much that he created “The Jason Show” set at home, dressed like the host and sent in photos to FOX-9. The television station liked the photos so much, producers invited Major on to the set to be Jason’s “mini-me.” On the same day, “The Jason Show” brought on a “mini-me” for co-host Shayne Wells. Major says he wants to work on “The Jason Show” when he grows up.

Cellphone unlocked with fingerprint helps convict burglar Minnesota Supreme Court rules that no Fifth Amendment violation occurred when fingerprint was compelled by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled in January that a 26-yearold Edina man who was sentenced for seconddegree burglaries in Dakota and Carver counties in 2015 did not have his Fifth Amendment rights violated when the Carver County District Court compelled Matthew Vaughn Diamond to provide a fingerprint to unlock a cellphone that eventually provided evidence in the case. Neither the U.S. Supreme Court or any other state supreme court had ruled on a case that claimed a person’s fingerprint was protected under the Fifth Amendment’s privilege against self-incrimination when that fingerprint is used to unlock a cellphone. Minnesota’s Supreme Court agreed with an Appeals Court ruling that said a fingerprint “elicited only physical evidence� from the defendant and “did not reveal the contents of his mind.� The Appeals Court ruled that a fingerprint was “no more testimonial than furnishing a blood

sample, providing handwriting or voice exemplars, standing in a lineup, or wearing particular clothing.� The ruling, which has been covered nationwide by media outlets that focus on constitutional law, has broad implications for law enforcement due to the prevalence of fingerprint recognition to unlock electronic devices rather than a number code. The Minnesota Supreme Court distinguished between a suspect providing a passcode, which has been found in previous cases to be “testimonial� using the contents of the mind, and a fingerprint was not. The court said: “Diamond did not need to self-select the finger that unlocked the phone. He did not even need to be conscious. Diamond could have provided all of his fingerprints to the police by making his hands available to them, and the police could have used each finger to try to unlock the cellphone.� A 2010 federal case resulted in a ruling that found requiring a defendant to supply a computer password did violate

the Fifth Amendment protection against selfincrimination. The Minnesota court did not express an opinion if a defendant may be compelled to produce a cellphone password, consistent with the Fifth Amendment. In the case, Diamond refused Chaska police’s initial request on March 13, 2015, to provide a fingerprint to unlock a phone detectives lawfully obtained by a warrant during the investigation. Diamond again refused to provide a fingerprint when he appeared in Carver County District Court on April 3, 2015, but the court found him in contempt of court and compelled him to provide the fingerprint after the court found no Fifth Amendment violation,

saying the fingerprint was “more akin to providing a key to a lockbox.� During a jury trial, the district court admitted the messages and call logs from Chaska police’s search of the cellphone, but to avoid Fifth Amendment concerns, it prohibited the parties from introducing evidence that Diamond had unlocked the phone with his fingerprint. The cellphone’s text messages, voicemails and other saved phone records helped prosecutors link Diamond to the burglaries that he pleaded guilty to on May 15, 2015. The court also admitted other evidence unrelated to the contents of the cellphone, such as cellphone tower records (which also provided dates, times and locations

of calls linked to the burglaries), footprints, pawn shop records and testimony from Diamond’s associate, all of which showed that Diamond had committed the burglaries. He was sentenced in September 2015 to four years and three months in prison. Diamond was arrested on Nov. 4, 2014, in Shakopee in reference to the Oct. 30, 2014, burglary of a Chaska residence in which he was found to have kicked in a garage door to gain access to a home to steal jewelry, electronics and a safe worth in total an estimated $4,500, as some of the items were later pawned by that day an associate in Shakopee, and the following day in Burnsville. Diamond was also found to have broken

into a residence on 205th Street in Hampton on Oct. 30, 2014, when he also stole jewelry and other items that were later pawned. During his arrest, Diamond’s cellphone and shoes were collected as evidence, and Chaska detectives obtained a search warrant to access the contents of the phone, but were unable due to the fingerprint lock. Investigators linked Diamond to the case after finding an envelope at the Chaska residence that must have been dropped by Diamond. The envelope had the name of Diamond’s associate written on it along with Diamond’s “nickname.� After reviewing surveillance footage, investigaSee PRINT, 12A

Brazilian martial arts coming to Art Works Eagan Capoeira performance first in Sunday Salon series

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The art in martial arts will be on full display this weekend at Art Works Eagan. Drums will be rumbling and people will be tumbling during a Minnesota Capoeira Academy performance 7 p.m. Sunday, March 11, in the performance hall. “It’s a performance,� said James Lynch, known as Instructor Coruja and director of Minnesota Capoeira Academy. “The best way to describe it is that it’s a martial art disguised as a dance. It brings different aspects of African culture, brought from the slave trade to Brazil. It’s a mixture of cultures. Slaves used it as a form of resistance when they tried to free themselves in Brazil.� The performers don’t hit each other or take each other down. It’s not an

MMA bout. “It’s a pretty niche martial art,� Lynch said. “It’s not like taekwondo. Some people do (capoeira) for the fighting aspect. Some people enjoy the music. Some people like being creative. There’s so many things you can do. ... You develop a huge sense of body awareness. The thing most people are trying to do is have a conversation using their body according to the music. Some of it will look choreographed. It will look like people planned this out for days, but it’s all spontaneous.� The opening act is a folk dance called Puxada De Rede. “It translates to pulling of a web,� Lynch said. “It’s representative of the work the men and women would do in Brazil. They drop a net and row it back. Those on the shoreline would pull the rope back in.� There’s also a folk dance

It will all be backed up by a live band with drums such as the pandeiro and atabaque along with agogĂ´ (cowbell), ganzĂĄ (rattle) and berimbau (string instrument). “We use the music and different rhythms to tell people to play different games,â€? Lynch said. “You can’t do it without the

music. That part is so ingrained with the culture.� Following the performance there will be a question-and-answer session for AWE individual and family-level annual supporters. “Supporters will have an intimate setting in which to ask questions of, and chat with, the capoeira performers,� said Robin Cerio, Art Works Eagan vice president. “Each salon aims to have a portion of the eve-

ning be exclusive for our supporters. If people wish to stay, and are not a supporter, they can purchase that annual supporter benefit right then.� All the songs are in Portuguese, so “I’m sure there’s going to be some questions as to what we’re talking about up there,� Lynch said. This is the first in a series of planned performances called Sunday Salons at Art Works Eagan. Sunday Salons are scheduled for five Sundays throughout the year. The dates include May 6, Aug. 5, Oct. 14 and Dec. 2. Following the Minnesota Capoeira Academy event, the subject of each salon will be a surprise. “Attendees won’t know until the performance starts what the performance, discussion, or demonstration may be,� Cerio said. Cerio said the salons will always be appropriate for

families to view, and “will be engaging, and challenge the audiences’ notions of art and performance.� Tickets are $10 for an adult and $8 per child. Season tickets are $40 per person. Each salon ticket will grant admission from 7-8 p.m. in Art Works Eagan’s performance hall on the second floor. The second session from 8:15-8:45 p.m. is exclusive to supporters. Overflow parking is across the street at the Civic Arena, Cascade Bay, and portions of City Hall. “We have signs that direct people where to go and maps available,� Cerio said.

Learn which exemption, deduction and credit changes will impact you and your family BY CARLEY LINTZ CTW FEATURES

Let’s be honest: we all want a bigger tax return. And the easiest way to achieve that goal is through exemptions, deductions and tax credits. However, big changes are coming to all three thanks to the tax bill. While these adjustments won’t affect your 2017 tax filing, it’s important to know what to expect as you plan for 2018 finances. “It’s not enough to know if you’re going to pay more or less taxes. You might pay less, but still have significant changes to your taxes that mean, for example, you won’t get a tax benefit from giving to charity next year. Every taxpayer is going to be affected and may need to learn new strategies to get the best tax outcome,� explains Kathy Pickering, executive director of The Tax Institute at H&R Block Perhaps the most notable change for most taxpayers is the elimination of personal exemptions. Prior to the passage of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act� taxpayers could claim exemptions for themselves, their spouse and qualified dependents, such as children or other relatives. In 2017 the personal exemption was $4,050. “Without this benefit, more of a taxpayer’s income is subject to taxation. For example, in 2018 a married couple would potentially have to pay taxes on more than $8,000 of their income they previously wouldn’t have,� Pickering says. However, before you start to panic, other changes in the legislation may significantly offset this loss.� “Virtually all taxpayers will be impacted by the loss of personal and dependent exemptions, which will increase their taxable income. However, it is important to look at the taxpayer’s whole situation,� Pickering says. The standard deduction, for instance, has nearly doubled. The IRS allows taxpayers to either itemize their deductible expenses or choose the

standard deduction – a set amount based on filing status. In 2018, the standard deduction for individuals will rise from $6,350 to $12,000; for head-of-household filers, it increases from $9,350 to $18,000; and married individuals filing jointly can deduct $24,000, up from $12,700. “The larger standard deduction will likely decrease the number of taxpayers who itemize to decrease their taxable income,� adds Brian Ashcraft, director of Tax Compliance for Liberty Tax. The new tax law also doubled the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000 per qualifying child in 2018. The age cut-off remains the same (under 17 at the end of the year), but there are a couple other changes to the credit. The law limits the refundable portion to $1,400 and lowers the earned income threshold for the refundable credit to $2,500. “For some taxpayers this increase, coupled with the larger standard deduction, may make up for the loss of the personal exemption. For large families, it may not have the same effect,� Ashcraft explains. Pickering also notes that large families may see the most significant changes in their 2018 filings compared to 2017

filings. “For a husband and wife filing jointly with four qualifying dependents that could equal $24,300 in personal exemptions, depending on income, plus a standard deduction of $12,700 for a total of $37,000 in 2017,� she explains. “Under the new tax law, the same family may be eligible for a $24,000 standard deduction and $8,000 in child tax credits for a total of $32,000.�

Navigating tax exemptions, deductions and credits is never simple – even less so with these new changes. That’s why, as you finish filing your 2017 taxes and look forward to the new year, you should consider consulting a tax expert to help ensure you maximize your 2018 return. “Whether you prepare your own taxes or get assistance, this is the perfect time to talk with a tax professional to get help understanding how your situation may be affected by the new legislation and any adjustments you may need to make to get your best tax outcome in the future,� Pickering says.

Sports Steveson goes out shoeless, but in style Two AV wrestlers win state individual championships by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Gable Steveson kept the shirt on his back, but a young fan ended up with his shoes. Shortly after pinning Anoka’s Brandon Frankfurth in the Class 3A championship match at 285 pounds, Steveson acknowledged the fans at Xcel Energy Center, then walked over to a group of boys who were there to tear down the mats after the state high school wrestling finals. He took off his shoes and gave them to one of the boys. “He’s been saying ‘What’s up?’ to me all weekend, so I think he deserved them. They’re his now,” Steveson said. The rest of the fans didn’t get souvenirs Saturday night, but they did get to see one of the best wrestlers in state history finish his career in the manner they’re used to seeing – with a quick, decisive fall. Steveson, Apple Valley’s senior heavyweight, pinned Frankfurth in 17 seconds and won all four of his state tournament matches by fall in the first period. He was 39-0 this season with 37 pins and earned his fourth state individual championship. A few Minnesota wrestlers have more victories and state titles, but few if any have been as dominant as Steveson the last four years. He finished with a 173-match winning streak and his 98.6 winning percentage (212 victories, three losses) is believed to be the best in state history. “I think I hold the best winning percentage here now. I’m just glad I could do it,” Steveson said. Only two wrestlers, and just one from Minnesota, went the distance with Steveson this year. One of the two he didn’t pin was Simley junior Daniel Kerkvliet, who won the Class 2A

Apple Valley senior Gable Steveson takes down Brandon Frankfurth of Anoka in the state Class 3A championship match at 285 pounds Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. Steveson won by fall in 17 seconds to earn his fourth consecutive state title. He finished with a 212-3 career record. 220-pound championship moments before Steveson took the mat for the final time as a high school wrestler. Steveson defeated Kerkvliet 3-2 in a highly publicized match between 2017 world champions (Steveson won a Junior title and Kerkvliet won his in the Cadet division) in February. After finishing off the championship match, Steveson did a backflip for the crowd. That was something his brother Bobby, a former state champion wrestler at Apple Valley who’s now at the University of Minnesota, goaded him into doing. He delivered his shoes to the young fan, then went into the crowd for hugs with his family and friends. “I appreciated everybody who came to watch, everybody who stood and clapped for me,” he said. “It really means a lot. I’m staying home (he has signed to wrestle at Minnesota), so they’ve got more claps to give to me. “I can’t believe it, I’m done here.” Steveson said he doesn’t recall allowing a takedown in his final three years as

a high school wrestler. His last loss was to Justin Cumberbatch of Alexandria in the state Class 3A championship match at 195 in 2014. Since then, he has won two state titles at 220 and two at 285. The loss in the state final in eighth grade “put a fire in me,” he said. “That’s the last high school loss I’ve taken. I can’t believe it myself. I just never wanted to lose again.” Steveson also has been part of four state championship teams at Apple Valley. After last season, he said he was aware of speculation that he wouldn’t return to Apple Valley for his senior year because he seemed to have little left to prove in high school wrestling. But he said one of his favorite parts of the sport is “being with my team. A lot of people said I wasn’t going to come and be here for this last year, but in my head I’m always with the team. I’m always an Eagle. It’s always on my chest every time I go out.” The showmanship comes naturally to Steveson, who said he was anxious to give the crowd something to remember by doing the backflip – as if his performance on the mat wasn’t memorable enough. “Do a flip, please the crowd, make the most of it,” he said. And how did that feel? “You’ve got to be in my shoes to feel it,” he said before correcting himself. “I don’t even have shoes on. But you’ve got to be in my socks to feel it. “Indescribable.”

son, who said his world went blurry after he won the Class 3A final at 145 pounds. He went into the stands to hug his mother, fulfilling a promise he made earlier Saturday. Then he left the arena floor and tried to put what just happened into perspective. “In Apple Valley, to put my name in the record book as a state champion is unreal,” said Larson, who pinned St. Francis senior Mitchell Wilson in 3 minutes, 32 seconds to finish 44-3. “I watched Destin McCauley wrestle when I was in sixth grade and I was like, I want to be like him. Mark Hall came through. Those were guys I looked up to a lot.” Larson won his first two matches in the state tournament by fall in the first period, then defeated Sam Webster of Shakopee 4-3 in the semifinals. He had a third, fourth and sixth place in three previous state tournament appearances. “My mental game

hasn’t always been there, but this year we worked on that part and it added a ton,” Larson said. “This year I’ve been wrestling with a different mindset that the coaches have been drilling into my head. Believe in myself, see myself at the top of the podium. See it and achieve it, basically. I showed up for the state tournament feeling great. I couldn’t go home with anything but first place.” It helped to have two state championship contenders near Larson’s weight class – Apple Valley teammates Sebas Swiggum and Brady Gross – to practice against. “They’re awesome for the room,” Larson said. “They push me every day. We push each other. It’s a great setting in there when you have guys who can push you because it’s just going to make you better.” Larson said he plans to wrestle in college but hasn’t chosen a school yet. Now that he has a state championship on his resume, he might see more offers. “That’s the plan, at least,” he said.

State individuals

Another unbeaten Willmar wrestler, Clay Carlson’s cousin Cael, edged Gross 2-0 in the finals at 138. The wrestlers battled through a scoreless first period. Gross rode Carlson almost the entire second period before the Willmar wrestler scored a reversal with about 20 seconds remaining to take the lead, which he maintained through the third period. Cael Carlson also finished 48-0. Gross, who pinned South Suburban Conference rival Curtis Lemair of Prior Lake in 4:20 in the other semifinal, was 43-8. It was the second appearance at the state individual tourney for Gross, who was fifth at 120 last year. Apple Valley sophomore Regan Schrempp (29-14) reached the semifinals at 113 and eventually finished fourth. He won three of his five matches, including a 5-0 victory over Cole West of Woodbury in the second round. Adam Mickelson (228) went 3-3 at 120 to finish sixth. His victories included a technical fall over Paul Kendall of Hastings in the first round. Eagles senior Peyton McLagan (22-20) lost to Tanner Kunshier of St. Francis 3-0 in the first round and was eliminated from the wrestlebacks when Kunshier lost his second-round match. Devin Roberts finished 34-12 after taking sixth place at 160. Roberts opened with a 3-1 overtime victory over Trevor Pomeroy of Winona and was 3-3 in the tournament. The lone Eastview qualifier, sophomore Mason Enderlein, lost 10-2 to Jackson Penk of Sartell in the first round at 120. Penk lost in the second round, which knocked Enderlein out of the wrestlebacks.

Apple Valley didn’t qualify for the state team tournament for the first time in 35 years. But the Eagles sent eight individuals to the tourney, four of whom wrestled for championships. In addition to the state titles for Steveson and Larson, Swiggum was runner-up at 132 pounds and Gross took second at 138. Swiggum, wrestling in the state individual tourney for the third time, lost 10-4 to unbeaten Willmar senior Clay Carlson in the 132-pound final. Carlson, who won each of his first three state matches by technical fall, scored five takedowns in the final and finished 48-0.

Eastview won that game 4-0 to advance to the championship game, where its dream of a state tournament trip ended with a 4-1 loss to St. Thomas Academy on March 1 at Braemar Arena in Edina. St. Thomas Academy scored three goals in the third period, two in the final 24 seconds. Zach Anderson scored Eastview’s goal in the second period with assists from Nunn and Ryan Quaintance. The South Suburban Conference champion Lightning finished 23-5.

Eastview got on the team scoreboard in five events at the state Class AA boys swimming and diving meet last weekend at the University of Minnesota. Those events were good for 24 points, which put the Lightning 22nd in the team standings. One of Eastview’s top finishes was 12th in the first event of the March 3 finals, the 200-yard medley relay. Ben Montgomery, Jack Poppitz, Daniel Panikkar and Sjon Greseth finished in 1 minute, 37.85 seconds. All are seniors except Panikkar, who is a freshman. Greseth also placed in two freestyle events. He took 15th in the 50 freestyle in 21.87 seconds and 12th in the 500 freestyle in 4:41.98. Poppitz added a 13th

SKATE, from 1A Champions took home the Robert Unger Trophy. The three team captains couldn’t remember ever competing this well in competition. Christiansen, Apple Valley High School senior Elora Langseth and Eagan High School senior Miranda Sullivan said they remember getting second place at nationals when they were in eighth grade, and they were proud to top that in their final season. In hindsight, the girls can see that they were well prepared, but they said when they arrived at the tournament they felt a little unsure. “In years past, we’ve been really confident,� Langseth said. “This year, we had to cancel multiple practices for snow days.� “It’s hard to be as conBOOKS, from 1A event’s keynote speaker. The Minnesota writer has specialized in quirky characters with Scandanvian heritage since she released her first book in 23 years ago. “We absolutely feel lucky to have her,� said Jo Gilbertson, a member of the planning committee. “She’s a popular author and entertainer, wellknown in the Twin Cities. Her books are wildly popular with book clubs, and anyone who has ever heard her speak simply wants to hear more.� Landvik said she will talk about what inspires her as a writer, the writing process and her road to getting published during the breakfast session from 9-10 a.m. “I like to try to edify and entertain,� she said. “I like to talk about how there is no right way to write.� She said one of her English teachers thought outlining was the way to go. Many would-be authors have similar school experiences, which Landvik said has led to people feeling bound by certain rules. “There shouldn’t be

fident when we don’t have that practice time,� Sullivan said. “We only practice once a week on the ice.� They also knew their team didn’t have as much depth as previous years. “This year, a lot of girls graduated or left, so it’s a really new team,� Christiansen said. “It’s a new group dynamic, and we’ve gotten to teach everyone our pre-skate traditions and warm ups.� The old and new members alike have grown close this season. “We are all friends on and off the ice,� Christiansen said. “There’s a lot of trust.� That trust is necessary when 16 girls — and 32 sharp, metal blades — share the ice during a synchronized performance. Once they build that trust, the captains said, they can

focus on skating as one. “I love the relationship I’ve built with my coaches and my teammates,� Langseth said. “When you are skating together and doing something really well, and you have a good connection with your team – that’s the best. Your best friends are out there, skating with you, and you are all feeling the same thing at the same time.� “We’ll feel all of that after a solid practice,� Christiansen said. “But even after a bad practice, we grow a lot.� Because ice time is expensive, the district team has limited time to practice together on the ice. Still, the three captains have invested a great deal of time into their sport. Some of them compete on other ice teams to keep their edge. All of them are commit-

ted to making sure at least one of them is at every Icette practice — even for the teams they don’t skate on. The captains work together to find balance between school and athletics. All of the time and effort pays off through the team support. They know that no matter how their performance goes, they’ll have a reliable cheering section. “I love skating, but it’s also fun to be at competitions,� Sullivan said. “We have individual skaters and smaller team groups that do jumps and spins. It’s really fun to cheer everyone on and watch them skate.� “It’s cool to have a cheer section of 43 girls, cheering just for you,� Christiansen said. The Icettes will perform in their annual show, Divas and Legends, on March 8,

any rules except the ones that work for you,� Landvik said. “So many people think when they read books: ‘I don’t write this way, so I must be doing something wrong.’ � She said there are many “great American novels� collecting dust somewhere, as many people are afraid to pitch a book, which seems like one’s baby. “I say: ‘Put that baby out in the world and let that baby breathe,’ � she said. “It’s easy to say ‘no,’ in every field and every business. It’s very easy for people to not want to take a chance.� Landvik, who was born in East Grand Forks, has been taking chances for much of her life. She says she was an instigator as a child, dropped out of college and went to California to find her calling. She worked odd jobs while always writing and performing comedy on stage. Landvik said those day jobs were necessary to pay the rent, and they allowed her to go home and do they thing that she loved — writing. She said it took her a long time to find an agent

and then she was rejected by at least 30 publishers before she was signed. Landvik said the subjective business of being selected by a publishing house never discouraged her. She said she read some letters that were so encouraging that they seemed like acceptance letters until she got to the end. When asked what her first publisher told her they liked about her work, Landvik said it came down to an investment in the characters she had created. “(The publisher) said: ‘I kind of like these crazy women. I want to see what happens,’ � Landvik said. Landvik said no matter what genre critics like to categorize her work, her goal is to create characters that engage her as a reader, then she hopes the same will happen to others. “I look at the world with a definite comic take, but I want to make people feel tragedy as well as glee,� Landvik said. “I’ve heard readers say to me that they laugh and they cry when they read my books. I don’t (write) saccharine books, they are hopeful books.� Landvik, who lives in Minneapolis with her hus-

band and new dog, said her dual vocation as a comedian and writer inform each other. In comedy gigs like her frequent Twin Cities impov shows, she can get an immediate reaction to an alleged joke, which, if successful, might end up in a book. Since writing is a solitary endeavor, she says it’s not possible for her to get such an immediate response to a thread or a sentence. It can be a lonely existence as an author, but all of that time and effort has paid off for Landvik, who has written 11 books and has another one in the works slated for spring 2019 release. As for the success, Landvik said: “I’m surprised and very grateful. It has been a long, hard road, as is anything that is worthwhile.�

Book fair Landvik said she has many favorite authors and that “there are so many books and so little time.� Exhibit A for that statement will be on display during the Author Fair, which will include authors spanning nearly every genre of

BOWL, from 1A to all of our past, current open and league bowlers. Bill McGuire (owner of the Minnesota United Soccer team) and RK Midway (current owner/ landlord of the Midway Shopping Center) have terminated our lease which means they are putting us out of business.” Midway Pro Bowl closed on Sept. 15, 2017. At that point, Koecheler and Loth were in conversation with Bogart’s owner, Rich Berry, about renting or leasing the Apple Valley bowling alley. “I assumed I would retire, but I knew Scott wanted to stay in the game, and I don’t want to JOBS, from 1A “We hire several hundred employees in the summer time,” said Melissa Haas, Apple Valley human resources manager. “There are a lot of opportunities.” City staff are looking to hire playground leaders and assistants, life guards and water safety instructors, parks maintenance staff, skating instructors, concessions workers and more. “A lot of these opportunities are appropriate for high school students, so we hope a lot of them will come,” Haas said. “But it’s also for adults who might be looking for a second job HEALTH, from 1A The new location will help serve both audiences. “We want a real robust training for our staff, but it seems like other people are after what we offer, too,” Turner said. Turner said they’ve worked with public safety officers from both Minneapolis and St. Paul recently. Animal Control staff received de-escalation training to practice nonverbal and verbal strategies to

go out on those terms,” Loth said. “I don’t want someone to shove me out. I wanted to go out on my own terms.” Things were moving too quickly to figure out a new plan before their time at Midway ran out. “We liquidated everything we had,” Koecheler said. “We couldn’t risk putting all the equipment in storage and then not having something work out. So we put everything out to the public.” Tables, chairs, doors, rental shoes, bowling balls – even the lanes and the wood under the lanes – it all sold for pennies on the dollar. “We had to sell everything,” Koecheler said.

“The only thing that was left was the shell of the pinsetters themselves – it was nearly impossible to take them out.” For Koecheler, taking the bowling alley apart for pieces was only part of the pain – he also watched the community he’d created over three and a half decades disperse. “Our kids grew up there. Our families grew up there,” Koecheler said. “We had a lot of community involvement – our customers were our extended family.” Now, Koecheler and Loth are seeking to create a new family of bowlers in the community of Apple Valley. So far, it’s been a

smooth transition, and Koecheler is hopeful. “The whole purchase from our standpoint has been really fun,” Koecheler said. “Dealing with Rich has been a great experience.” “At Midway we had lots of problems with government. Apple Valley seems to be business friendly, and the clientele has been wonderful,” Loth said. “Customers seem to be happy we are here.” They’ve tried to stay connected with their Midway community. Though the drive is less than half an hour from the previous location, it’s too far for many of their former customers. “Coming to Apple

Valley is like coming to a different country in some of their minds,” Koecheler said. “But we’ve had many customers come down and check us out.” The new owners hope to revitalize the space by making it one cohesive entertainment center that offers something for everyone. They’ve already booked concerts and shows for most weekends, they’re working to expand their menu and they’re in the process of finding new ways to utilize the patio this summer. “This is more entertainment than we’ve done before,” Loth said. “It’s new, which is fun.” They’re also working to hire and train staff for the

most important part of their business: their service. “You can go anywhere and find bowling, food and drinks, but you can’t go anywhere and get good, clean, friendly service,” Koecheler said. “For us, it’s all about the clients. We want to have good service and keep the place clean.” Bogart’s Entertainment Center is located in Apple Valley at 14917 Garrett Ave. For more information, visit www.bogartsentertainmentcenter.com or follow them on Facebook.

or some summer work.” Many of the jobs require no previous experience. “We take kids who have never had a job,” Haas said. “And they are just fun things to do in the summer.” Muelken and Haas said that the summer jobs can help people build their resumes in different ways than more common fast food or retail jobs. “Our management staff take a really hands-on approach,” Haas said. “They teach on the job, and people can learn technical and broader marketable skills.” Good facilities, good upper management, a strong connection to the city and

to other staff members — those are just a few of the reasons Muelken and Hass find working for Apple Valley Parks and Recreation so rewarding. “We do have really good facilities for people to work at,” Haas said. “They are well maintained. The city cares about our recreation programs and offering these services to our community, and we put a lot of effort into our staff.” Both feel pride in their work, and they think many of the people who work in seasonal positions feel the same. “We have 54 parks to maintain at a high level for our residents, and we

take a lot of pride in that,” Muelken said. “We need a lot of people to keep our city looking great.” That pride is connected to something greater than personal achievement. “Most people who work for us are really here to serve our community, and they take a lot of pride in that service,” Haas said. “We get quality candidates. We are always really fortunate to have great employees.” For some people, their summer job turns into something more. Haas said many people come back, summer after summer, to work for the city. “We also have many,

many examples of people here at the city of people who worked at these summer positions, got interested in public sector employment, maybe went to college or maybe worked their way up,” Haas said. Both Haas and Muelken found their own passions for Parks and Recreation work by starting small and gaining experience. “I started working in the HR department in another city,” Haas said. “I worked my way up from a clerical support position to my current job.” “When I went to college, I got into a Parks and Rec intro class,” Muelken said. “I started working for the

city of Eagan as a park attendant. It just kind of morphed into more recreation and my current position.” The Parks and Recreation Summer Job Fair will take place on two different days. The first will be Friday, March 9, at the Apple Valley Teen Center, 144255 Johnny Cake Ridge Road, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. District 196 has a staff development day, so students do not have class. The second will be Tuesday, March 13, at the Apple Valley Community Center, 14603 Hayes Road, 3-7 p.m.

help lower the intensity of a potentially aggressive encounter with an upset person. “Those groups, they’re interested in our perspective,” Turner said. “It’s a really good start to start conversation. It’s our mission to collaborate in our community to help people that are struggling.” The Training Institute will hold behavioral health and mental health classes for employees, community organizations, professional

groups, corporate leadership teams, and anyone who wants to learn more about mental health care. “The information and training are designed for just about anyone, not necessarily someone working in the field,” Turner said. The new space is equipped with high-tech streaming equipment, allowing People Incorporated to reach audiences both in-person and online. People Incorporated offered training in Minne-

apolis out of a mansion on Park Avenue. “We had training in a big ballroom, but it didn’t really fit our needs,” Turner said. “When you have a new location, you can start from scratch and do some cool stuff. “We have the technology to allow people to remotely attend the session. They can have a very interactive experience. The old place we couldn’t do things like that.” People Incorporated

The application has been granted. Notice is also given that the Registrar has informally appointed James Edwin Baillet III, whose address is 15783 Highview Drive, Apple Valley, MN 55124 as personal representative of the Estate of the Decedent. Any heir, devisee or other interested person may be entitled to appointment as personal representative or may object to the appointment of the personal representative. Unless objections are filed with the Court (pursuant to Minn. Stat 524.3-607) and the Court otherwise orders, the personal representative has full power to administer the Estate including, after 30 days from the date of issuance of letters, the power to sell, encumber, lease or distribute real

estate. Any objections to the probate of the will or appointment of the Personal Representative must be filed with this Court and will be heard by the Court after the filing of an appropriate petition and proper notice of hearing. Notice is also given that (subject to Minn. Stat. 524.3-801) all creditors having claims against the Estate are required to present the claims to the personal representative or to the Court Administrator within four months after the date of this Notice or the claims will be barred.

currently offers 30 courses split into several tracks covering trauma-informed care; motivational interviewing; mental health first aid; person-centered thinking; boundaries and ethics in supervision; practitioner safety for supervisors; culturally responsive practice; working with veterans; cognitive behavioral therapy; and co-occurring disorders. Nearly every course is accredited for continuing education units for the Board of Social Work and Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. Classes are participantled, instructor-facilitated. They’re designed for adults of all learning styles. “This new place allows me to expand the curricu-

lum,” Turner said. “The community track is really developing.” One reason Eagan was chosen for the Training Institute is because it’s close to People Incorporated’s administrative office in Mendota Heights. It’s also on a bus line and close the major freeways. “We actually have parking now,” Turner said. Additional space allows more classes as well. “It matches what we’re trying to do in a bigger picture,” Turner said. “We’ve definitely been growing a lot.” For more information and a full listing of Training Institute courses, visit www.PeopleIncorporated. org/Training.

Talk to reveal Rosemount’s connection to Greenland After the establishment of the Gopher Ordnance Works in Rosemount, the city became connected to the world in many unusual ways. The Rosemount Area Historical Society’s History Talk by longtime historian John Loch at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 15, at the Robert Trail Library will delve into Rosemount’s connection to Operation Bluejay, the establishment of an air force base after World War II. After World War II, U.S. Air Force planners began to examine the feasibility of establishing a bomber base at Thule, Greenland. The remote weather station’s location was perfect since it was halfway between Moscow and

New York. There the U.S. could stage long range B-52 bombers, and even more ideal to host interceptors. In 1951, the Air Force secretly began construction on the base in an effort dubbed Operation Blue Jay. The project was massive. According to Thule’s website: The construction is said to have been comparable in scale to the enormous effort required to build the Panama Canal. The Navy transported the bulk of men, supplies, and equipment from the shipyards in Norfolk, Virginia. On June 6, 1951, an armada of 120 shipments sailed from Norfolk. More than 12,000 men and 300,000 tons of cargo arrived at Thule on July 9, 1951.
