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

donation campaign after stillbirth by John Gessner 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

Icettes bring the heat to Texas District 196 skating team wins national championship by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

“We like the sound of edges,� said Rosemount High School senior Jacia Christiansen, a member of the Icettes, the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District figure skating team. “If you have a nice edge, you know it’s going to be a solid jump,� Christiansen said. “You can hear the power and control. That’s what sets teams apart.� It seems the Icettes have found their edge this season. They earned first place in their first meet of the season, and recently, at the ISI Winter Classic in McKinney, Texas, they became national champions. Skaters from all five District 196 high schools, as well as several 196 middle schools, make up the team

of 44 girls. The co-curricular program was created in 1976, and today the program includes varsity and junior varsity synchronized skating teams. It also offers a B-squad synchronized team for developing athletes. From Feb. 16-19, 35 members of the Icettes competed at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in McKinney, Texas. Solo, spotlight, and team events earned the Icettes a total of 683 points – the highest score at the tournament among the 21 teams from nine different states. The national 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 confident 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 See ICETTES, 3A

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-year-old Edina man who was sentenced for second-degree 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 self-incrimination. 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, investigators identified Diamond’s associate’s vehicle and then saw Diamond’s associate pawn stolen items. After his initial contact with police, Diamond was released and a formal warrant for his arrest was issued Nov. 17, 2014, when he was located at a residence in Inver Grove Heights. This was not the first time Diamond had been arrested and sentenced for home burglaries. Diamond, then 18 years old, was found guilty of first-degree burglary in 2010 in Hennepin County, and second-degree burglary in March and April of 2011 in Scott County and in October 2011 in Dakota County. He was sentenced to three years and two months in prison in July 2011. Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter. com/editorTJ.

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 every

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken 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 decision 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.

Districts are learning from past school shooting tragedies by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rick Kaufman led the crisis response team following the Columbine High School massacre April 20, 1999, in Littleton, Colorado, and has worked since to improve the safety and security of schools. Today he is the executive director of community relations and emergency management with Bloomington Public Schools and teaches about school safety. Looking back to Columbine, despite changes to buildings, improved training and programs to identify students with significant mental health issues, there is no 100 percent guarantee there won’t be another school massacre, he said in a recent interview. The shootings at Columbine and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, have two major similarities. In both cases, the writings, activities and anti-social behaviors were reported to authorities before the act. There were many signs that the three boys involved in the two separate incidents intended to shoot students. That said, Kaufman says we learn from each school shooting tragedy in or-

Staff Columnist

Don Heinzman der to improve on current security measures. Right now he is focused on how the Florida shooter gained access to the school and if there were safety measures in place to prevent easy access. He’s also studying fire alarm systems, since the Florida shooter may have pulled the fire alarm to draw students out of their classrooms to kill them. Minnesota law requires students to exit the building if a fire alarm sounds, said Kaufman. The Florida shooting also illustrates why staff and students should not stand behind the classroom door when in a lockdown mode, as several victims were killed and wounded by the gunman shooting through the closed classroom door. “Put chairs or a desk against the door and get away from it,” advises Kaufman. Another major change since Columbine is improved building security. In Bloomington schools, as elsewhere in

the suburbs, all outside doors are locked. Each site has a single point of entry into the office. Visitors must check-in and have a specific purpose to gain access into the school. All classroom doors are locked and fire doors can be closed to seal off classroom wings in the event of a school emergency. There is a phone in every classroom with access to the school’s public address system to allow any staff member to put the school into a safe condition, such as a lockdown. Minnesota state law requires five lock-down, five fire/evacuation drills and a severe weather drill every school year so students understand where they should go. Another change since Columbine is assessing students who may pose a threat to themselves or others as a result of mental health issues. Schools have teams trained to evaluate the risk posed by a student as a response to an actual or perceived threat or concerning behavior. If a staff member suspects a threatening situation, they are advised to call 911 immediately. If the school determines an individual poses a threat of violence, local law enforcement may be involved as an

intervention or to assist in determining other alternatives to reduce the risk to both potential victims and that individual. If a student is pictured on Facebook holding a gun, even an air rifle, and it is brought to the attention of the school or district, Bloomington Police are immediately notified. Kaufman emphasized that every effort is made to help the troubled student, including mental health, social service and school-based interventions to reduce the student’s risk for violence. “We don’t want them to turn into hardened criminals,” Kaufman said. What is the most important advice Kaufman has to prevent these tragedies in schools? “Be vigilant at all times. If students see something, they need to say something. As adults we can’t act unless we know. If parents and students see something on social media, they need to report it.” Finally, Kaufman assures parents that schools are more safe and secure than ever, but he cautions, “We must always be on the alert for the signs.” Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers.

Letters Not everyone is doing well economically 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. The phenomenon noted in local and national publications has seen an inflation rate of 4.05 percent over the last three years, and cost-of-living raises in Social Security benefits of 2.3 percent over the same period, according to the

Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Social Security Administration. Further threats of financial damage have arisen to programs like Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Researchers at research groups fear supplemental food benefits for hardworking, low-wage families and working mothers may be next on the chopping block in a 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 chil-

dren’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

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 en-

terprise, 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. ANANT NAIK Eagan

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 deciding 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.

DCTC, SuperMom’s working together to train 280 employees Dakota County Technical College is partnering with Northern Tier Bakery/ SuperMom’s on a $270,959 Minnesota Job Skills Partnership training grant. DCTC hosted a grant-signing event in the Dakota Room on the college’s main campus in Rosemount Thursday, March 1. Meriem Aman, a manufacturing and IT coordinator with Minnesota Training Connection, worked with SuperMom’s and MJSP to facilitate the grant and develop the project’s training curriculum. Aman reported that SuperMom’s is a Minnesota-grown bakery and commissary located in St. Paul Park. “SuperMom’s produces fresh and frozen bakery and commissary items marketed under their own signature brands and several customers’ exclusive private

brands,� Aman said. “SuperMom’s is a major employer in St. Paul Park.� The MJSP grant will train 280 employees, a number that includes 15 new workers, over the next three years in lean manufacturing, basic electrical and advanced electrical systems, supervision, basic computer training, business writing and food safety. “The customized training will take place onsite, online or on the DCTC campus, depending on the specific class and company needs,� Aman said. She noted that the project will enhance the college’s ability to develop skills and customized and sustainable training with the food manufacturing industry. “Projects like this benefit Minnesota’s economy and workforce,� she said.

Former Lakeville High School principal earns state award The Minnesota Association of School Administrators has named Julia Espe, superintendent of Princeton Public Schools and Lakeville High School principal (2000-06), as the recipient of the 2018 Kay E. Jacobs Memorial Award. The award recognizes excellent leadership and involvement in MASA and other educational organizations by an administrator who is a woman. Espe will be honored with the award during the MASA/MASE Spring Conference, March 8-9, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest in Brooklyn Park. “Julia’s legacy in Princeton will be that she moved the district forward from being a small, rural, traditional district to a regional leader in innovative programming,� said Barb Muckenhirn, Princeton High School principal. “She is absolutely determined and steadfast in her pursuit of growth and achievement for the district, and the students have benefited greatly from her leadership.� During Espe’s time at Princeton Public Schools, she spearheaded a grassroots campaign to begin rebuilding of bridges between the schools and the greater Princeton community. In 2014, Espe led the effort to successfully pass the first bond referendum in Princeton in more than 15 years. The more than $29 million bond referendum provided the district with a much needed primary school, new high school gym, improved district security and technology, a family center for early childhood programs, and the ability to move district staff to a shared building with the city offices. Along with the 2014 referendum, Espe brought parents, staff and community members together to complete a fiveyear strategic plan.

Julia Espe When she began her role as superintendent, Espe was faced with declining enrollment and inadequate student achievement at the district level. She worked with the district’s cabinet, administrators, school staff, and community members to define the needs of the students and explore options for increasing enrollment while also improving student achievement. Espe worked to establish a budget that supported advancements in the district including the establishment of a Spanish immersion program, online academy, area learning center, facilities improvements, and a 1:1 technology initiative. Student achievement has increased to exceed the state average in both reading and math. “There is no one I have worked with who shows the kind of dedication Julia shows towards improving teaching and learning,� said Princeton Middle School Principal Daniel Voce. “All of us at Princeton Public Schools appreciate the way Julia involves herself in every aspect of our school district.� Espe is an active member and leader in many educational and community organizations. Her membership and involvement includes: MASA, Minnesota Department of Education task forces in Multitiered System of Supports and Career and College Ready Initiatives, representative for Minnesota at

the White House Summit, Midwestern Instructional Leadership Committee, cofounder of Math Masters of Minnesota, Minnesota Educators of Gifted and Talented, Lakeville Rotary, Safe Schools of the United States, and the Blandin Community Leadership Program. She has received a number of awards such as the MASA Region 6 Professionalism Award and District Leadership Award; Influential Leadership Award from Resource, Training and Solutions; Leadership Award in Advanced Placement Programming from the St. Cloud Foundation; Dakota County Technical College Technical Education Advocacy Award in Nanotechnology; MEGT State Award: Friend of Gifted; Austin Public Schools Distinguished Educator Award; and the Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition for Challenge to Change (Chemicals Prevention). Espe earned a doctorate degree in Education from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, a master’s degree in Gifted Education from the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, and a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from the University of Illinois. She received her principal and superintendent licenses from Winona State University. Espe is the grandmother of Lakeville North senior Braden Walsh and freshman Cooper Walsh, the sons of Jamie and Michelle Walsh, of Elko. The Memorial Award was established in 1983 in honor of Jacobs, an outstanding young administrator of many achievements who died in a car accident in 1979.

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.

Members of the Minnesota Capoeira Academy are scheduled to perform 7 p.m. Sunday at Art Works Eagan. 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 done with machetes called Maculelê and a game demonstration on the schedule. It will all be backed up by a live band with drums such as the pandeiro and atabaque along with agogô (cowbell), ganzá (rattle) and berimbau (string instrument). “We use the music and different rhythms to tell people to

play different games,” 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-andanswer 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 evening 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. To purchase tickets, visit www.awe.mn/events/salon. For more information about the Minnesota Capoeira Academy, visit www.mncapoeira.org. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville educator named semifinalist for Teacher of the Year Works to provide education to those in special education program by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Among the 43 semifinalists for the Minnesota Teacher of the Year Award, Melissa Mills is one that stands out. Mills is currently an infant/ toddler intervention team member at Crystal Lake Education Center in Lakeville. She has been a part of District 194 for 11 years and plans on continuing her career helping children with any developmental delays within the district. “I’m proud to be a Lakeville teacher. I can’t imagine working anywhere else. We have such an innovative and dedicated teaching staff and administration is wonderful. ‌ It’s a great place to work,â€? Mills said. She wasn’t someone who always knew they wanted to be a teacher. Mills worked with adults with disabilities, became a stay at home mother until her son was in first grade and then decided teaching was where she wanted to be. “My friend said ‘Hey, I think you would really like teaching. I think you should come observe.’ I went there and I knew that was what I was supposed to do,â€? Mills said. Mills received her bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in Spanish. She then went on to receive her master’s in developmental disabilities and then got her early childhood special education teaching licenses. “Sometimes it’s really hard to know what you want to be. I

think deep down I always knew but it took me awhile to figure it out. Now I know this is what I’m meant to do, and this is my calling,� she said. Mills does not work out of a classroom. She is part of a team that goes to the homes of the families enrolled in the program to help children from birth to age 3 who have a disability that causes a delay in their development. The program is through the umbrella of Special Education, according to Mills. She works with parents and families to develop educational plans for each student. “We ask the parents what their concerns for development and priorities for learning are. We also celebrate their strengths and who they are as a little one,� Mills said. The program is available in every school district throughout Minnesota. According to Mills, the program is available to any premature child, any child with Down syndrome or any other genetic condition that would hinder their education, children who have autism spectrum disorder and those who have any other condition that delays their development. Mills spends her days with her students on the floors of their living rooms, she is with them at daycare, when they visit family and becomes an important sliver in the family’s life in order to send children down educational paths that will best help their learning.

Along with her co-workers, Mills was involved with getting a $3,000 grant to start a multicultural family library for the families involved in the program. Teachers will have books in multiple languages such as Spanish, Russian, Chinese and German. “It’s not just English anymore,â€? Mills said. Teachers will also have activities fit for children of different ages that they will bring to families so they are able to read with their child. “Reading has a lot to do with language and social interaction,â€? she said. “That’s coming in the next few years.â€? Mills adds that all the teachers also are working toward connecting more with community resources. “We are working closely with the county for funding purposes,â€? she said. They currently partner with medical professionals to inform families about basic health and home safety for their children. They also work with many mental health facilities. “We continue to make sure that our kids and our families ‌ start with the best possible resources,â€? Mills said. She adds she hopes to continue to learn something new every day from the families she works with as well as helping to provide them with resources and a good start on their child’s educational journey. “It’s definitely an honor and a privilege and I feel humbled because I work with a really great

Sen. Greg Clausen’s, DFL – Apple Valley, bill to close a dangerous loophole in DWI law, Senate File 2479, was scheduled for a hearing March 5 in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senate File 2479 replaces the current OSHA standard, which ties part of DWI law to a specific list of hazardous substances under the Department of Labor and Industry, to a definition of intoxicating substances. This change prevents the Legislature from playing catch-up with every new drug or chemical not included under the controlled substances or alcohol section of DWI law. The current loophole excludes dangerous chemicals like 1,1 difluoroethane (DFE), a compound in computer dusters and frequently “huffed� to get

high. SF 2479 also creates uniformity through all DWI offenses by requiring prosecutors to prove a driver was “Under the influence,� the legal standard for alcohol and controlled substances offenses. The legislation has the support of the DWI Task Force, the Minnesota County Attorneys Association, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Minnesotans for Safe Driving, the Household and Consumer Products Association, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, and numerous law enforcement groups. Sens. Warren Limmer, Ron Latz, Dan Hall, and Justin Eichorn are coauthors on the proposal. Clausen began working on this issue after hearing from a constituent whose

brother was killed by a driver high on DFE in Wisconsin. Under Wisconsin law, the driver could be convicted of a DWI. In the fall of 2017, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled in State v. Carson that impairment due to DFE could not be convicted as a DWI because it was not specifically listed under existing statute as a “hazardous substance.� After giving opening testimony on the legislation, Clausen will be joined by a broad range of stakeholders, including David Bernstein (chair of the DWI Task Force), Lt. Don Marose (State Patrol), Jeff Tate (Shakopee Police), Art Morrow (MADD), and more.

PAIGE, from 1A 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 supervisor and Chris as an MRI technician. Encouraged by the response, the couple kept at it, donating about 125 bears two years ago and 165 last year. This year STREETS, from 1A curbs, watermain and storm sewer. Streets to be reconstructed are Shirley Drive, Susan Lane and 138th Street east of County Road 5. Special assessments will cover 13 percent of total project costs, according to the city.

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.

Four reclamation projects are planned for the Regent area, the 123rd area, Commonwealth Drive and the HighlandUpton area. Reclamation includes replacement of the pavement and gravel base, spot curb replacement and some storm sewer improvements.

In the Regent area, streets slated for work are Burnhaven Drive, Regent Lane and Executive Boulevard. In the 123rd area, streets are 123rd Street and 23rd Avenue. In the Commonwealth area, the street is Commonwealth Drive. In the Highland-Up-

ton area, streets are Upton Avenue and Highland Avenue. Special assessments will cover 10 percent of project costs. Rehabilitation includes a new pavement surface, removal of distressed pavement and replacement of failing curb, gutter and sidewalk. Proj-

ects are planned for West Frontage Road, Morgan Avenue and West Preserve Boulevard. Special assessments will cover 28 percent of project costs.

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.

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 sevAKERVIK, from 1A was dismissed, Backstrom said. A felony charge of electronic solicitation of a child is set for a jury trial beginning July 9, he said. A BHS teacher since August 2013, Akervik faces up to 15 years in prison for criminal sexual conduct. Sentencing is set for June 14 after a pre-sentence investigation. HEALTH, from 1A news stories that prompt some of those discussions. I think people are hungry for information and a place for good discussion going on. What’s happening? What does it look like when it’s not healthy?� The location will serve the staff of People Incorporated, which has several locations throughout the Twin Cities. Over the years people outside of the organization have reached out to help with training. 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

eral 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.

A conviction of electronic solicitation is punishable by up to three years. The county attorney’s office gave the following account after Akervik was charged last April. On April 10 a 15-yearold male student told a BHS school resource officer that Akervik had sent him sexually inappropriate communications. The student said Akervik had

added him as a friend on several social media apps and websites about a year before. Akervik had been communicating with the boy via Snapchat about three weeks before the boy spoke with the officer. Akervik allegedly sent a message saying, “I’d like to get to know you closer and better.� Over two or three days of online conversation, the

boy received nude photos from Akervik. The boy later acquired a third-party phone app that would allow him to save the photos without notifying Akervik. During their online conversation, Akervik admitted to “taking the virginity of a 15- or 16-year-old� and made comments leading to possible identification of the male student, also from BHS. Police con-

tacted the boy, who told them Akervik had invited him to his Burnsville apartment in December 2016. As the two were watching TV, Akervik started kissing the 16-year-old and engaged in a sex act with him. After he was charged, Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis suspended Akervik from his part-time job as junior

high choir director, according to media reports. Akervik reportedly has a degree from St. Olaf College and worked for the Minneapolis Public Schools from 2010 to 2013.

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 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 Minneapolis 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 inter-

active experience. The old place we couldn’t do things like that.� People Incorporated 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 continu-

ing 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 curriculum,� 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.

Five Eagan wrestlers compete at state Wick goes 2-2 at 182 pounds by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The five Eagan wrestlers that qualified for the state Class 3A meet last week at Xcel Energy Center came up short of reaching the medal round. Coming closest was senior 182-pounder Alex Wick, who went 2-2 in the tournament March 2-3 at

Xcel Energy Center and was one victory short of being guaranteed a medal for a top-six finish. Wick (36-12) defeated Jack Casey of Shakopee 7-0 in the first round before losing to eventual champion Cade King of Owatonna 11-3 in the quarterfinals. In wrestlebacks, Wick defeated Travis Drews of Cambridge-Isanti 4-2 in overtime before his tournament ended with a loss by fall to Rowan Morgan

of Mounds View. Senior Kaden Gage (35-9) lost to Nick Pelach of Sartell 7-6 in the first round at 126 and was denied a spot in wrestlebacks when Pelach lost his second-round match. Gage’s brother Ty, a sophomore, went 1-2 in the 132-pound bracket. His victory was 2-1 over Jahsa Rankin of Eden Prairie in the first round of wrestlebacks. Ty Gage was 28-19 this season.

Carter Lyons (22-9) lost to Lincoln Shinn of Willmar 13-2 in the first round at 170 and did not advance to the wrestlebacks. Brett Heinlein (129) lost by fall to Corey Guenther of North St. Paul in the first round at 285. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

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 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 See EAGLES, 14A

Larson gets his gold medal It’s difficult to imagine a state wrestling championship meaning more to anybody than Apple Valley senior Nate Larson, 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

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.
