Lakeville district may cut secondary deans Elementary principals propose combining first, second grades by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK
In an effort to reach $3.5 million in budget cuts, Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder has proposed eliminating deans next year at secondary schools for a savings of $450,000. The proposal would
change Lakeville’s longstanding principal-dean model to the more traditional principal-associate principal model with counselors and/or special-assignment teachers to work with administration. Snyder said parents and secondary students have appreciated the dean model
because they have been able to interface with one person at the schools, but it is not financially sustainable. Also proposed is for one activities director to oversee both Lakeville North and Lakeville South high schools, a savings of $130,000. Proposed for the el-
ementary level is the elimination of learning specialists, classroom guidance positions and one counselor. The other three elementary counselors would be moved to the middle schools. Elementary principals have opposed those changes and instead have sug-
gested combining all first and second grades districtwide. Snyder reported to the board they are studying the proposal’s feasibility and cost-savings potential. School Board Member Bob Erickson suggested at See CUTS, 11A

Sex abuse victims argue current law limits opportunity for justice by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK
Traumatized victims of childhood sexual abuse should not be walled off from seeking justice against predators by a fleeting statute of limitation, advocates of legislation argue. “Should I apologize for my own self, protecting me,� James Keenan, a victim of childhood sexual abuse, said of missing the current legal window. Currently, childhood sexual abuse victims must file suit against predators or institutions within six years of becoming adults – age 24, explained bill authors Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park, and Sen. Ron Latz,
DFL-St. Louis Park. The two attorneys, who describe their legislation as simple and straightforward, argue the nature of childhood sexual abuse can make meeting a six-year window an impossibility. Their legislation would eliminate the existing statute of limitations and allow victims of childhood sexual abuse to file suit at any time. “I didn’t become aware of my abuse until adulthood,� said Keenan, of Savage, who as an altar boy was See BILL, 9A

Lakeville officials gather for domestic abuse luncheon by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK
Pictures of small, blonde, blue-eyed Mikayla Olson smiled at the audience of Dakota County officials as her broken-hearted mother explained the abuse that led to her murder. Leigh Block detailed the often apathetic response and legal roadblocks she experienced as she desperately tried for years to protect her daughter from her ex-husband John Tester of St. Paul. Mikayla was born in November 1998 and within a month of her birth Tester became violent, verbally and physically abusive, highly critical and controlling, Block said at the Feb. 15 annual Domestic Abuse Luncheon, held at Brackett’s Crossing in Lakeville, Block said Tester sometimes threatened her with a butcher knife, slapping it against his palm in front of Mikayla, and physically restraining Block from comforting the baby when she would cry. “I literally felt sick when I’d see his work truck pull up in front of the house,� Block said.

Leigh Block wiped tears as she explained during the Feb. 15 annual Domestic Abuse Luncheon how her daughter Mikayla Olson was murdered by her abusive ex-husband. Her mother died six months later, also the victim of domestic abuse. “I was constantly walking on egg shells.� She said Tester frequently issued death threats backed by assertions of mob connections and she was fearful for Mikayla’s safety.

Sisters team up for Next Act by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK
Patti Peltz didn’t give herself much of a vacation between the closing of her quilt business and the opening of her furniture and home decor shop. Peltz, who’d run the quilt store Fabric Town in Apple Valley’s Time Square Shopping Center for about nine years, shuttered that business in July with plans to open Next Act just a few doors down. While Next Act didn’t officially open until Octo-
ber, work began immediately, Peltz recounted. “The day Fabric Town closed, I was inside Fabric Town painting furniture for Next Act,� she said. Peltz has a partner in the new business – her sister, Nancy Donahue. Donahue is the business’ owner and Peltz is the manager, but they share in the painting duties, which has the siblings refurbishing old furniture in the rear of the shop. They’ve been logging long hours since Next Act’s opening in the fall. Though
the store is open for business four days a week – Thursday through Sunday – the siblings say they’ve been working seven-day weeks as they paint their inventory. Much of that inventory is acquired by Donahue on what she calls “search and rescue� missions – visits to auctions, estate sales and other places where old furniture can be picked up on the cheap. The sisters tout Next Act as a “green� business, selling environmentally

Fundraiser builds unity at Lakeville school by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK
A student-council planned and promoted fundraiser has helped build bonds at a Lakeville elementary school. Four Orchard Lake Elementary students, the youngest in first grade, visited each classroom to talk about trips to the school nurse, highs and lows, needle pricks and the pumps attached to most of them. Their stories of living with type 1 diabetes, previously called juvenile diabetes, moved students to contribute their pennies, dimes and quarters to raise $1,000 for the Minnesota Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Student council members dubbed their fourday initiative “Dimes 2 Dollars for Diabetes,” and matched their fundraising efforts with an educational campaign to help raise awareness and understanding about what it is like for their four classmates who live with the disease. Presenter Ellie Shaskey, 9, in an interview called the regular needle pricks and shots she must get “not very fun.” “I have to bring my kit everywhere,” the thirdgrader said, adding she feels “shaky” when her sugar level is low and “crazy or hyper” when it is high. She was diagnosed with T1D at age 4, when symptoms suddenly appeared during a family trip to a Disney theme park. “She was going crazy drinking water,” said Ellie’s mom, Betsy Shaskey. “We were just going through money like crazy on bottled water, and she was going to the bathroom all the time.” By the time they re-

turned home, Ellie’s skin was so dry it was peeling off. Ellie was diagnosed at a specialty center, where her parents immediately learned how to give her the insulin shots she would need for the rest of her life. “For the longest time, I never knew if she was high or low,” Betsy said. “I was constantly saying, ‘Are you OK?’ When she’s out of my sight, it’s very hard and scary for me.” Ellie does not let her illness stop her from enjoying sports like basketball and track, and said the hardest part of living with T1D is when her parents have to come to sleepovers to administer the day’s last injection. T1D occurs suddenly,
has no cure and is not contagious. Most of the diabetic students at OLE carry a machine that automatically pumps the insulin into their system through a port that is changed every third day. Ellie still uses needles, but plans to also get a pump. OLE Student Council advisor Carol Metz said the fundraiser has helped build unity among the students and a greater understanding of their classmates’ struggles. “They were almost overly kind to them,” Metz said. “They had a whole new appreciation for what these kids go through. They were very impressed with their stories, and have a new respect for them.”
She said one little girl was so moved, she donated every penny in her piggy bank, and recently saw another student helping a first-grader struggling to get his snowsuit over his pump. Some of the students may walk with Ellie at the Feb. 23 JDRF’s Juvenile Diabetes Walk at the Mall of America, and a representative of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation will thank students at a March 1 assembly.

Arrest follows police chase on Galaxie Ave. An Apple Valley man who allegedly fled a traffic stop and led police on a chase down Galaxie Avenue last week is now facing charges in district court. Israel Delossantos, 26, was booked into the Dakota County Jail on Thursday, Feb. 14, following his arrest at 7:45 p.m. near Galaxie Avenue and Geneva Way. The charges include fleeing police, a felony, as well as two DWI-related gross misdemeanors. The criminal complaint gives the following account:
At about 7:30 p.m. Feb. 14, an Eagan patrol officer in the area of Cliff Road and Galaxie Avenue ran a license plate check on the vehicle in front of him and learned there was a warrant for the registered owner. The officer activated his emergency lights and caught up with the vehicle, driven by Delossantos, at Eagan’s border with Apple Valley. The vehicle continued traveling south on Galaxie into Apple Valley, with the officer blaring his siren and shining a spotlight directly on the

said he told Delossantos to stop during the chase, but his plea was ignored. If convicted of the felony fleeing police charge, Delossantos faces up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He’s also charged with DWI and DWI-test refusal, both gross misdemeanors, as well as driving after revocation, a misdemeanor. Delossantos remained in jail as of Tuesday morning.

Our Capitol reporters, columnists provide bigger-picture coverage by Larry Werner SUN THISWEEK
On Monday mornings, at a coffee shop in Mounds View, Tim Budig, Howard Lestrud and I meet to discuss their plans for the week ahead. Tim and Howard represent the commitment of ECM Publishers to provide more than strictly local news in our 51 newspapers. When I started reading ECM’s Thisweek Newspapers after moving to Lakeville from Edina in 1999, I was struck by a byline for a “Capitol reporter” in this paper that was mostly about happenings in the community. That wasn’t the kind of byline I was accustomed to seeing in the Edina Sun Current, the weekly paper I had read for many years. Now, however, state Capitol news is in our Edina newspaper and the other Sun papers ECM acquired a year ago. And on all our news websites, in a section called At The Capitol, you’ll find the reporting of Budig and Lestrud. Not too many years after ECM was founded by Elmer Andersen, a former businessman, legislator and governor, our newspapers named a Capitol correspon-

dent to cover the happenings at the Legislature and state agencies. Budig, a Wisconsin native and former reporter at ABC Newspapers in Coon Rapids, has been that Capitol correspondent for almost 15 years. Tim is a writing machine — a guy who might crank out 10 stories a week on what our legislators are doing. However, after the Sun acquisition in December of 2011, he found himself covering state news for about 30 more newspapers serving many more communities. Recently, we gave Tim some help. Howard Lestrud, a longtime ECM editor and manager, agreed to take on the new position as political editor and is now working with Tim in St. Paul. Tim and Howard have been meeting with legisla-
tors and state officials to develop stories about government as the legislative session continues. Howard also has been co-chair of the ECM Editorial Board, another creation of our late founder, whose son, Julian Andersen, is our current CEO. Julian’s father took great pleasure in writing editorials and felt that it’s important for newspapers to take stands on public issues. So about once a month, you’ll find editorials in your local newspaper that might deal with anything from education policy to political races to the national farm bill. Also appearing on our editorial pages are columns by Don Heinzman, who has worked as an editor and manager with ECM almost since the company was founded. Don serves with Howard, Julian, President Marge Winkelman, several of our editors and two citizen members on the editorial board that meets monthly to develop positions on issues. Another regular ECM columnist is Joe Nathan, who is executive director of the Center for School Change. Joe, a former public school teacher and education-policy expert, provides his views on Minne-
sota education. Some of you might wonder why the local weekly newspaper and website are devoting resources to covering news that crosses the boundaries of your municipalities and counties. It’s because a renaissance man named Andersen decided his newspapers would provide more than what has come to be known as “hyperlocal” news — the activities of city councils, school boards and sports teams. He wanted you to get information about the state he served as a legislator and governor. It would be less expensive to forgo that kind of big-picture coverage and stick with strictly local news. One of the reasons I enjoy working for ECM is because the company’s mission goes beyond reporting local news and selling local ads. In his autobiography, Elmer Andersen wrote this about his commitment to news: “I was not in the newspaper business to make money. I was in it for the mission.” Larry Werner is director of news for ECM Publishers. He is at larry.werner@ ecm-inc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.
City of Lakeville recommends Interstate 35 improvements Editor’s note: Lakeville Mayor Matt Little wrote the following as a letter to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton. by Matt Little SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK
I write this letter on behalf of the members of the Lakeville City Council, including: Council Member Doug Anderson, Council Member Colleen LaBeau, Council Member Kerrin Swecker and Council Member Bart Davis to promote and bring to your attention the funding and construction of additional travel lanes along Interstate 35 from County Road 46 to County Road 70. As you are aware, the Interstate 35 corridor is the busiest, most heavily travelled highway corridor in Minnesota. Significant efforts have been made to reduce congestion, increase safety and improve traffic flow along this vital transportation roadway. Transit improvements made under the Urban Partnership Agree-

Matt Little
ment in 2010 helped reduce the growth in traffic congestion by providing an effective alternative to automobile travelers for downtown commuters. However, the park-and-ride facility along Kenrick Avenue in Lakeville will soon reach capacity and it will be necessary to prepare for a new park and ride facility at County Road 70, as called for in Metropolitan Council’s comprehensive planning documents. In addition, there is a need to expand the capacity of Interstate 35 in Lakeville to increase safety and improve traffic
flow for those commuters not using transit. Today there is congestion from the southern border of Lakeville to County Road 46 due to a shortage of lane capacity. In addition, there have been over 300 crashes that have occurred in this section of Interstate 35 over the past three years including 125 injuries and four fatalities. The Federal Highway Administration has commented previously that additional lanes are warranted along this stretch of highway. Improving this condition will increase safety and be beneficial to the region as it is the southern gateway for businesses, companies and the traveling public heading into the metropolitan area. Improvements to Interstate 35 would also provide increased regional access to the County Road 70 corridor area and take full advantage of the recently completed interchange at County Road 70 promoting continued corporate, office, industrial,
and commercial growth. Lakeville strongly encourages the governor’s office to contact the Minnesota Department of Transportation to further investigate the possibility of including travel lane improvements to the Interstate 35 corridor through Lakeville from County Road 46 to County Road 70 in their 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan. We look forward to further discussing improvements to the Interstate 35 corridor through Lakeville with you. On behalf of the City Council, thank you for considering our concerns regarding this vital transportation artery and including the Interstate 35 improvements in MNDOT’s 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan. Matt Little is the mayor of Lakeville. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.
Bush Foundation seeking person to help practical visionaries in education by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK
This week I thought about people like Wayne Pikal, Ramona de Rosales, Doug and Dee Thomas, Eric and Ella Mahmoud and Keith Lester. The support given to foundations helped these “practical visionaries” carry out their (very good) ideas. This issue comes up, in part, because the Minnesota-based Bush Foundation is seeking a new education director to help identify and support innovation throughout Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Here are what some foundations have done in education in addition to some information about Bush. • Blandin Foundation empowered educators to set up new, research-based programs. Recently I mentioned a threehour/day program in Little Falls High School, taught by Wayne Pikal, a biology teacher, an English and social studies teacher. Students read and wrote about the Mississippi, and tested river quality of the water. Blandin Foundation helped start this. • With help from various foundations, Brooklyn Center Superintendent Keith Lester brought together district and so-

cial service agencies in the district’s middle and high school building. This helps provide better service for students and families. • Ford Foundation helped create Head Start, an early childhood program that works both with low-income families and their children. Not all early childhood programs are equally effective. But some of them have helped produce progress with children that have lasted decades after children participated. • Minnesota Initiative Funds helped establish “School-Based Entrepreneurship” programs in Greater Minnesota, such as the hardware store in Rothsay run by high school students. This attracted attention from the Wall Street Journal and National Inquirer. • Annenberg and Gates Foundation helped Doug and Dee Thomas start the
nationally known Minnesota New Country (charter) School in Henderson. A majority of the school’s board of directors are teachers working in the school: an example of true teacher empowerment. MNCS uses a project approach and has refined a “Hope Survey” to measure whether students are learning goalsetting and persistence. • Cargill and other foundations helped Eric and Ella Mahmoud establish Harvest Prep. They’ve received national attention for success in closing achievement gaps between white and African American students. • Frey, Travelers and St. Paul foundations helped Center for School Change bring together district and charter schools to increase the number of high school students taking challenging, college level classes. Other foundations mentioned here have also helped the Center for School Change. • Target supported meetings convened by educators like Bondo Nyembwe, Ramona de Rosales, Kerry Felt and Catherine Rich to help parents understand how to select books for their young children, and gave them a book to read with their children.
• 3M supports Project Lead the Way to help promote stronger Science, Technology, Engineering and Math skills. • Bush provides yearlong fellowships to help people implement ideas. That brings us back to Bush Foundation. Using funds earned from 3M, Archibald and Edyth Bush created the foundation. The foundation’s 2011 annual report says it donated $29.6 million, of which 41 percent, about $12 million, was in education. Its overall education goal over the next decade is to “increase by 50 percent the number of students in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, from pre-kindergarten through college, who are on track to earn a degree after high school, and eliminate disparities among diverse student groups.” Wise foundations look not only for good ideas, but also for people who can carry them out.

Letters Wills already showing bipartisan effort To the editor: Time after time during the 2012 campaign we heard candidates say they wanted to go to St. Paul and Washington, D.C., to end the gridlock, work
across the aisle, and get things done. But all too often, those words ring hollow when they are elected, and the usual partisanship continues. That’s why I was proud see state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, standing alongside DFL Sen. Chuck Wiger and DFL Secretary of State Mark Ritchie announcing bipartisan legis-
lation that would give businesses tax credits for hiring veterans. The bill has a number of GOP and DFL co-sponsors in the Senate and the House, and has the support of a number of veteran advocacy groups. It’s also the first bill to be chief authored by Wills, who was elected to her first term in 2012. It’s refreshing to see

Wills turn her words into actions by working across the aisle on issues that all Minnesotans can agree on. We need more of this bipartisan attitude in the Legislature.

District 191 Briefs District 191 teachers share research on instructional technology Approximately 70 teachers in Burnsville-EaganSavage School District 191, who have been researching the use of instructional technology in their classrooms this year, will share their results in a public session that begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, in the Senior Campus, upper level, Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway. The research is part of Improving Student Achievement Through Technology (ISATT), a major districtwide initiative to determine which technologies provide the most benefit and how best to use them. The goal of all the re-
search is to discover what works and what doesn’t with instructional technology so that limited financial resources can be used most effectively to boost student achievement. Read more about ISATT Action Research plans on the district website at www.isd191.org.
Board finalizes calendar The academic calendar for the 2013-14 school year has been finalized by the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Board of Education and can be viewed on the district’s website at www.isd191.org. The calendar is similar to the current year except that the five two-hour latestart days are being replaced by two full days of professional development for teachers while students have the days off.
The first day of school for most students will be Tuesday, Sept. 3, but there are exceptions. Juniors and seniors at Burnsville High School will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 4, as will eighth- and ninth-graders at Nicollet Junior High. All kindergarten students will start school on Thursday, Sept. 5, so they can meet individually with their teacher before school starts. There is the traditional week-long break for students in October for parent-teacher conferences and the state teacher convention. Winter break will begin on Monday, Dec. 23, and end on Wednesday, Jan. 1. Spring break will take place during the last week of March. The school year will end on Thursday, June 5, and commencement for the Burnsville High School Class of 2014 will be Friday, June. 6.

Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville is planning a $60 million expansion, the largest since it opened in 1984. The hospital isn’t adding beds; it’s still licensed for 150, said Fairview Ridges President Beth Krehbiel. Much of the expansion focuses on ambulatory care without overnight hospital stays — the future of health care, she said. “We’re working to create spaces that are more convenient for patients at a lower cost,” Krehbiel said. Plans call for a 130,000-square-foot medical office building in back of the hospital, behind the emergency entrance, and a 40,000-square-foot hospital expansion. Eventually, the hospital’s main entrance will likely be shifted from the north side of the building to the south, hospital officials say. The new five-story building will have a skyway connection to the hospital. A three-level, 400-stall parking ramp is also planned. Ground-breaking is planned for this spring. About half of the expansion is expected to be finished by the end of next year, according to the city. “This is certainly the biggest expansion in the history of the hospital,” Krehbiel said in an interview. “We’ve done lots of expansions and adding on.” This one is more stra-

Park Nicollet has concept plans for a new medical building, but it would be several years away, said Duane Spiegle, Park Nicollet’s vice president of real estate and support services. Also approved Feb. 19 were plans to extend Fairview Drive, which provides access to Fairview Ridges and Park Nicollet, from Nicollet Boulevard to Nicollet Avenue. Also planned are pedestrian crossing improvements sought by Fairview between the Prince of Peace parking lot and the hospital’s north entrance. The estimated $3 million in road improvements will be paid by Fairview and Park Nicollet.
Hospital project The expansion follows a 2004-06 project that added fifth and sixth floors to the hospital. The fifth floor houses the oncology surgical unit, and the sixth, which had remained vacant, is being built out now, Krehbiel said. The floor will house the orthopedic-spine unit, she said. The new medical building will include a heart center, many oncology services, orthopedic and spine services, imaging and radiology, an ambulatory surgery center and an endoscopy center, Krehbiel said.

Belzer’s shifts into expansion mode by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK
A longtime Lakeville auto dealership owner has invested millions in the past year gearing up for growth. Jeff Belzer’s Chevrolet, Dodge, Kia dealership is wrapping up final touches of an estimated $4 million expansion that was planned for about three years. Belzer’s, located at 21111 Cedar Ave., has a new building devoted to its Chevrolet dealership with state-of-theart features, while its Dodge and Kia show floors are being remodeled and upgraded. A new indoor delivery area allows customers to pick
up their new or pre-owned vehicle from inside a well-lit building out of the elements. “People are able to take a look at the vehicle inside, and make sure there are no defects,� said Gary Lange, Belzer’s general sales manager. Amenities at the dealership include upgraded bathrooms, new desks and customer lounges with computers, expanded parking and fresh interior design elements. “We have a bigger show floor, and more cars are inside,� Lange said. Belzer’s is the largest volume Chevrolet, Dodge, Kia dealership in the Upper Midwest, Lange said, and sells
more than 300 vehicles per month. Lange said the dealership has about 150 employees and keeps close to 1,000 new and used vehicles on the lot situated within Belzer’s 40-acre parcel. “Our owner is looking into additional franchises,� Lange said. “We definitely have the property.� He added that sales are on an upward trajectory in the auto industry, and the forecast is sunny as more people who have kept vehicles longer than normal are now looking to upgrade. Another factor boosting the industry is the addition
of lower payment options with longer-term financing established in recent years in response to a challenging economy overall. Lange said those options, pent-up need and the new lineup of vehicles adds up to an industry expectation of a brisk spring. “The March 9 auto show at the Minneapolis Convention Center is the spring kickoff for the selling season,� Lange said. “And everyone says there is going to be record crowds.�

Convict charged in another prostitution case A man who pleaded guilty last year to pimping the mother of his unborn child is now charged with offering to pay two minor girls for sex. Javed Mookhtr Mobin, 21, allegedly solicited the girls, ages 13 and 14, on Feb. 8 at Burnsville Center. The girls refused and reported the incident to a police officer they saw near a mall exit. Mobin is charged with two felony counts of prostitution (hiring a 13- to 15-year-old). Mobin is in the Dakota
County Jail awaiting a March 4 court date. He’s on felony probation after pleading guilty last August to solicitation of prostitution. The charge stemmed from his January 2012 arrest at the Prime Rate Motel in Burnsville. In the latest incident, Mobin allegedly approached the girls and asked them questions about their age and where they attended school. They gave their ages, and Mobin said he was 23. “The defendant continued to walk with the
females through approximately three stores,” the criminal complaint said. He asked them to go outside for a cigarette with him. They declined to smoke but accompanied Mobin to the lower-level entrance outside Chuck E. Cheese’s, the complaint said. One girl went outside with him and another stayed in the entryway while he smoked. After finishing his cigarette, he allegedly told one of the girls he came the mall looking for sex, and offered her $200 to have
sex with him. “At this point the females told the defendant no and walked away,” the complaint said. The officer found Mobin based on the description the girls gave. He initially denied speaking to any girls, but later admitted he likes to come to the mall because “I get to see pretty females,” the complaint said. The officer then contacted the girls and showed them Mobin, whom they identified as the man who offered them $200 for sex,

dominantly female audience to join or support to help rescue trafficking victims and reduce demand for modern-day slavery in all its forms, which is primarily prostitution. Event organizer Adri Carlson followed up the event by requesting a partnership with Lakeville officials at the Feb. 19 Lakeville City Council meeting. “The testimony of survivors that I’ve gotten a chance to meet indicate that truck stops, Burnsville Center, high school campuses, Mall of America are big hot spots for trafficking activity,” she said. She offered training for police and security officers, hotel staff, students and parents to equip them to recognize the signs of trafficking. “A parent or teacher might notice a very controlling boyfriend,” Carlson said. “A hotel employee might notice … a steady stream of men going into a hotel room.” After the meeting, Police Chief Tom Vonhof welcomed the partnership opportunity and invited Carlson to meet with the department about human trafficking issues. “He’s a fan of collaboration,” said Carlson, who sent Vonhof a follow-up email the next day. Two Lakeville officers also attended the Freedom Weekend event that was kicked off at Hosanna!

Lakeville Police Chief Tom Vonhof, Mayor Matt Little and City Administrator Steve Mielke gathered with Hosanna! Church Trafficking Justice advocate Adri Carlson after the Feb. 19 Lakeville City Council meeting to discuss anti-human trafficking training and partnership opportunities. Church by Patrick J. Atkinson, 53, founder of the Institute for Trafficked, Exploited & Missing Persons. Atkinson said human trafficking victims are everywhere because the demand for laborers, prostitutes and pornography is worldwide. “Sex is the number one motive for human trafficking,” he said. Most victims are runaways tricked into trusting a pimp who escalates control through violence and manipulation; he noted males can also be victims. Atkinson described meeting a father consumed in guilt when an argument over a slight curfew violation escalated to his declaring a “my-way-or-thehighway” ultimatum that resulted in the teen storming out of the house. His
son has never been seen again. The distraught father told Atkinson, “not a minute has gone by that I’ve not wondered where he went.” Atkinson said the streets always multiply whatever problems runaways face at home. Within 48 hours of becoming homeless, youths will be propositioned for prostitution, according to Source Annex, a Minneapolis anti-human trafficking organization. Professional predators are often hired to abduct people with certain features, Atkinson said and shared accounts of young American women disappearing on cruise vacations, some whose pictures eventually appeared on prostitution websites. He called Midwestern
children “prime sources of meat” by traffickers, desired because of this area’s wholesome reputation. “We’ve dealt with kids who were sexually bought and sold who were 6 and 7 months old,” he said. He described how they are treated and traded like pieces of meat, forced and threatened, starved, drugged and beaten and raped. As they get used and abused their value declines as would a dented vehicle with high miles. Many die, their bodies just thrown away. Cindy Kacher of Lakeville was moved to tears during Atkinson’s presentation. “The victimization and dehumanization of people breaks my heart,” she said. “That is not how it’s supposed to be.”
the complaint said. Mobin was charged last year with soliciting prostitution for an 18-year-old pregnant woman who said he was the father. She and Mobin were arrested at the Prime Rate Motel in January 2011 after a police officer posing as a john answered an escort ad on Backpage.com. Originally charged with three counts of solicitation and one count of domestic assault by strangulation, Mobin pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation, according to the
latest criminal complaint against him. Burnsville police responded to the ad, in which the woman appeared to be pregnant and under the influence of illegal drugs, out of concern for her safety, according to the complaint in that case. Police had had previous contact with the two “and were aware of Mobin’s violent history toward the victim,” the complaint said. — John Gessner
Sgt. John Bandemere, investigator with the St. Paul Human Trafficking Task Force, said everyone will see a human trafficking victim in their lifetime, whether in prostitution or labor. Some males are forced into jobs as roofers, others made to sell magazine subscriptions door-to-door, he said. Bandemere recounted the 2007 bust of a large human trafficking ring that smuggled women and girls from abroad. Traffickers took their passports, forced them to work in brothels located all over the Twin Cities where men were charged $40 for 15 minutes. He shared how a 12-year-old in St. Paul was pimped by her own sister and played a 911 tape of a terrified teenage runaway from Iowa calling from a St. Paul hotel where she had been trafficked by a man she met on Facebook. The hotel staff knew she was kept in the room, found bloodied sheets but had done nothing. Bandemere encouraged everyone to be aware and alert authorities if they suspect trafficking is occurring. Patrick Lambertz with Men Against The Trafficking of Others said his organization is developing the first-ever curriculum for men to help decrease the demand for trafficking. He said the program will emphasize the need for men to build an au-
thentic support community, and is seeking leaders to launch the program this spring. He plans to develop global banners to display at sporting events, where trafficking often occurs, that will include names of men who stand against modern-day slavery. “There are men who oppose human trafficking,” he said. “There are men who stand against victimization.” Shelly Duce, 46, of Burnsville said the event inspired her get involved with some of the organizations reaching out to trafficking victims, including Mission 21, Source Annex and Not For Sale, and may pursue law enforcement as a career. “I have always had a strong desire for catching the bad guy,” she said. “This has really pushed me.” Cheryl Engh of Burnsville said called the Freedom Weekend event ”enlightening.” “It is shocking. The fact that this is going on right under our noses, at Mall of America and the place we frequent,” she said. “You always think about it happening in other countries.” For more information, subscribe to the Hosanna Trafficking Justice newsletter at http://eepurl.com/ nWYef.

BILL, from 1A abused by a priest but saw his lawsuit dismissed by the state Supreme Court on the grounds the statue of limitations had run out, advocates said. Both lawmakers and sexual abuse victims spoke of layers of emotions – shame, guilt, despair – that can prevent abuse victims for years to acknowledge to themselves that abuse had occurred. Rep. Sondra Erickson, R-Princeton, said as a parent and teacher she understood that childhood secrets can remain secrets into adulthood. She’s backing the bill, Erickson said, not only to seek justice but to find a means for the victims of sexual abuse to heal. Perhaps even abusers, cowering for different reasons, might seek repentance. “So I want to look at this from two perceptions,� Erickson said. Beyond addressing lingering crimes, advocates argue eliminating the statute of limitations can prevent future crimes. That’s because sex of-
fenders in their 70s, 80s, hunched over walkers or even in wheelchairs, will continue to abuse children, Jeff Dion, deputy executive director, National Center for Victims of Crime, said. “Pedophiles don’t retire,� he said. “There is really nothing we can do about it unless those kids are ready to tell us.� In the case of his abuser, Keenan said, the trail of sexual abuse traced back to 1961. “I wasn’t born then,� he said. Abusers and the institutions sometimes shielding them are fully aware that time provides a threshold for them to cross to escape legal actions, advocates said. Under the bill, this will change, Latz argued. “Delay is not a safe harbor for these institutions,� Latz, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said. Bills dealing with the statute of limitations and sexual abuse litigation have been proposed before. Simon and Latz view their legislation as supe-
rior for its simplicity. Not that filing a suit regarding actions that took place many years or even decades ago is easy. It isn’t, Simon said. But it belongs in the courts. “This should be in the hands of judges and juries to decide,� Simon said. Should the lawmakers’ legislation find success, Keenan, for one, isn’t automatically going back to court. A journey through the legal system isn’t fun, he said. “It was hard on myself. It was hard on my wife. It was hard on my kids,� said Keenan, who filed suit at age 39 for abuse committed when he was 13 to 15 years old. Just before leaving for the State Capitol on Wednesday, Feb. 13, his wife, Keenan said, asked if he would again go to court. “‘Honey, we’d have to talk a lot about it,’� he said.

ABUSE, from 1A were helpful and supportive, others did not believe her, lost evidence or warned her against “pushing John’s buttons.” In 2002 Tester initiated a divorce, and Block tried to protect Mikayla from his escalating rage and violence as custody issues arose. “John would fight with me, yell obscenities and give me orders in front of Mikayla during visitation exchanges,” she said. Their custody evaluator recommended a “communication notebook” that Block called “a terrible idea” that put Mikayla in the middle of their conflicts. “I was so relieved when I’d pick Mikayla up from his house and she’d run to my car,” Block said. “I was in constant fear he was going to harm all of us, or her in front of me.” Despite thick records documenting the years of abuse, restraining orders and violations of those

Tax Advice Q: How long should I worry if I haven’t filed tax returns that I should have filed?
A:
At least six years. The government has six years from the date the nonfiled return was due to criminally charge you with failing to file. There is no time limit, however, for assessing civil penalties for not filing. If you didn’t file for 1958, you still have an obligation if you owed taxes for that year. Not until you actually file a return does the normal audit time limit—three years and collection time limit—ten years—start to run. Don’t overworry about a nonfiled return due more than six years ago if you haven’t heard from the IRS. The IRS usually doesn’t go after nonfilers after six years—unless the IRS began its investigation before the six years elapsed. After six years, the IRS transfers its computer files to tape for storage.

Dental Advice Q: Is there any way to stop my husband from grinding his teeth at night? A: Yes, absolutely! Teeth grinding and clenching, or bruxism, is a very common dental issue. Bruxism is not only disturbing to a sleep partner, it can actually cause health problems such as headaches, sore jaw, toothaches, earaches, irreversible worn or cracked teeth and insomnia. The best way to reduce bruxism is to have your dentist make you a custom mouth guard to wear at night. This mouth guard keeps the back teeth from touching so it prevents teeth grinding and greatly minimizes clenching. See your dentist to talk more about this easy solution! Mouth guards for preventing bruxism are available at Lakeville Dental Associates, call us today at 952-469-3300 for more information.

Tester called Block from the car on Sept. 4, 2004, telling her he was “sorry,” then he coached Mikayla to tell her mom they were in a new car and going on a journey. Block sensed there was something wrong, but police said Tester had not done anything that indicated a need for action. “I was always told to document and report things,” Block said. “But most of the people I dealt with ignored my concerns and cries for help.” That night, Tester fatally shot Mikayla and then himself inside a rented car he had driven to Polk County, Wis., using a gun he borrowed from a friend who said he did not know the order for protection against him prohibited Tester from owning, possessing or purchasing a firearm. When told, Block said she ran through her apartment complex to Mikayla’s room screaming her daughter’s name. “I knew this would happen and no one would listen to me,” Block said. “Instead of Mikayla attending her first day of kindergarten, we were attending her funeral.” Almost six months after Mikayla’s death, Block’s mother was killed in Aitkin, Minn., by her abusive husband’s nephew who is serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting and drowning her in her bathtub.
GERSTER, from 1A the bad guys just found a whole new niche. The bad guys are just bold and now they’ve found us. They’ve found Mayberry and they took it away from us.” On Thursday, April 19, 2012, a group of three or four individuals broke through the front door of Gerster Jewelers at 10:23 p.m., smashing cases and stealing whatever merchandise they could grab. The burglary appeared to be connected to a string of recent robberies around the metro area. Gerster said no one has ever been arrested for the crimes even though there has been plenty of surveillance footage from the crimes. The crew was in and out in about a minute, and what Gerster said made it more remarkable was that they did it just down the street from a bar that was open at the time. When Gerster got the call that an alarm had gone off at his shop, he took his time going down to the scene, thinking it was a false alarm as has been the case before with his heat-sensitive system. He was shocked to find the destruction at the shop. “Of course, it’s about money, but what they are doing with the money, we don’t know for sure,” said Sgt. Lee Hollatz in charge of investigations for the Farmington Police Department. The police department is continuing to investigate the incident, teaming up
Domestic violence remains a serious problem in Minnesota. Last year, at least 18 people, women, family members or friends, died in domestic violence incidents, according to the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women. Last year, 2,287 survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault received counseling, advocacy and resources through 360 Communities Lewis House. Block said it is important for police, courts, advocates and schools to work together to address domestic violence, a plea that was echoed by officials at the event. Lakeville police Chief Tom Vonhof said law enforcement’s response to domestic violence has improved over the years, but he noted there are far more domestic violence incidents that are not reported to police. He encouraged vigilance to help domestic violence victims. “It’s incumbent upon every one of us to listen better … to take swift and certain action to help victims of domestic violence feel safe and confident in coming forward … to make a report,” he said. “Be that person that’s open.” Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
with many other agencies in the area, but he confirms that no arrests have been made. What was even worse than the damage at the jewelry store, Gerster said, was the stolen sense of security. He grew up in Farmington, riding his bike around the town all day long, often not returning home until supper time. Now, as a grown man, he worries about staying alone in his business late at night. Instead of staying late to work on a project or paperwork, he said he’ll come in on a Sunday instead. He won’t leave an unfinished item out of the safe, intending to come in the next day to work on it. It takes more time to close up for the day as he takes those extra precautions he never thought of before the burglary. “It’s a little bit of an inconvenience, but you don’t want to be stupid,” Gerster said. He also thinks the crime has affected thousands of people’s perceptions, making the community a little less secure. Gerster Jewelers will celebrate its 93rd anniversary in April. The store was started by Gerster’s grandfather Ernie Gerster. Gerster took over the store from his father, Jim. Last year’s burglary was a first in the store’s 92-year history. “It’s just a weird, sad time out there,” he said. “I wish it wasn’t because I liked Mayberry.”

CUTS, from 1A a Feb. 19 workshop that the middle school activities director could also serve at the high school level. He also suggested the associate principal model could allow them to serve a dual role as dean at the high schools. Other proposals are to restructure to combine Digital Learning with the Technology Department and eliminate an administrator for a $130,000 savings; reduce district office support staff, a communications specialist position and cut special education services by $100,000 as the need for them is soon to decline. Snyder has also suggested the district sell some property and put an estimated $200,000 income from a non-refundable down payment although the property has not been listed and there has not been an offer. School Board Member Jim Skelly said cuts have a domino effect and asked

for more details about the proposals before the board is asked to make budget decisions, expected to occur in March. He said most of the proposals avoid increasing fees by incorporating administrative restructuring and the use of technology to protect the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the top of the heap for class sizes in the metro area,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted to try to come up with reduction ideas or restructuring or redesign ideas that would not impact class size further.â&#x20AC;? The first draft proposal totals $3.3 million in cuts, leaving another $200,000 in reductions to be identified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a work in progress,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said. The School Board will further discuss budget options at a 5 p.m. Feb. 26 work session.

Panthers head back to state by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK
For the third time in four years, the Lakeville North girls hockey team advanced to the Class AA state tournament. The Panthers were given the No. 4 seed and played No. 5 North Wright County in the Class AA state tournament on Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Visit www. SunThisweek.com for an update. “It’s great every time you go,” said Buck Kochevar, head coach of all three of Lakeville North’s state qualifying teams. “It’s no different than the first time. I’m glad they have another opportunity to go. We’re prepared to win some games.”
The girls won the Section 1AA title on Feb. 14 in Owatonna with a nervewracking 3-2 victory over Dodge County. The Panthers had the lead for just 2:39 of the game after being called for eight penalties and giving up 16 minutes of powerplay time. But it was a Dodge County penalty that ended up giving North the edge in the end. With less than three minutes remaining and the game tied 2-2, Heidi Winiecki scored the winning goal on a power play with an assist from Ashley Kloncz. It was the Panthers’ first lead of the night. “It’s unbelievable,” said goalie Cassie Alexander, who had 18 saves. “I knew
we could do it. We knew we had it in us. We had to work as a team.” The game didn’t start well for Lakeville North. The Panthers were outshot 10-4 in the first period and had three players sent to the penalty box. Dodge County took the lead while on a power play, with Emily Gunderson knocking in a rebound. Darby Dodds assisted. It didn’t get much better early in the second period. Gunderson took advantage on yet another power play,this one a 5-on-3 advantage. But Taylor Flaherty woke up the Panthers moments later with an unassisted goal to cut the lead to 2-1. The Panthers had 10 consecutive shots on
goal before the Wildcats had any good looks. “We needed to get on the board to settle down,” Kochevar said. “For some reason we kept getting in the penalty box and never got in a rhythm.” With North outshooting Dodge County, it seemed like it was only a matter of time. Midway through the third period, Megan Skelly tied the game with an assist from Maddie McGlade. But the penalty bug bit the Panthers again, giving Dodge County a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:13. This time the Panthers killed it. “Anything can happen in these games,” Kochevar said. “We knew they were a See HOCKEY, 13A

Lakeville South’s Amanda Larson was one of the fastest skiers in the state on Feb. 13 at the Minnesota State High School League Alpine meet at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. She placed eighth in her third trip to the state meet. Last year Larson placed 24th overall and she was 33rd in 2011. Larson’s two-run total came in at 1 minute, 19.13 seconds. She was less than four seconds behind the winner, Elizabeth Koprucki from East Ridge. Her first run on the Helsinki course, an easier and straighter run, took 36.87 seconds, which left her tied for 10th overall. But she had one of the faster second runs on the Innsbruck course, which featured more challenging vertical combinations, at 42.26, moving her up to eighth.

Tigers notch key win against Raiders by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK
before ending up with the loss. Shakopee lost to Prior Lake 59-3 in the Section 2AAA final a few hours later. “We’re proud of our guys. They gave it everything they had,” Donner said. “They always give 100 percent effort.”
Hoping to finish the season strong, the Farmington boys basketball team got what head coach Shane Wyandt described as “basically a must-win” on Tuesday night against Northfield. The Tigers played some of their best basketball early, jumping out to a 20-point lead. In the second half, Northfield cut into the lead a few times, but never got close enough for concern as Farmington won 68-52. “We needed it bad,” Wyandt said. “We were doing pretty much everything we wanted to do (early). We were playing as well defensively as we have all year. We kept them out of the bonus. The biggest thing for us is if we control our glass. The problem has been consistency. It’s been all over the map, but tonight was good.” Darren Beenken led the team with 17 points and Eli Rockett and Johnny Dittman each added 14.

now and in the future,” a fan of the team said. “But the real victims of his behavior are his teammates and coaches who will have to find a way to deal with the distraction as they wrap up their regular season and try to prepare for the section tournament.” The Tigers went on to lose to Chaska 3-2 but defeated Shakopee 3-1 two days later in their final regular season game. “The boys played great,” said head coach Keith Revels, who declined to address the Krause situation. Jack Erickson scored two goals, and Corey Rudrud scored the other. One of Erickson’s goals was in a shorthanded situation. He created a turnover near center ice and scored on a
With sections coming, Tigers make case for home game
by Andy Rogers One of the Lakeville North wrestling team’s goals this season was to qualify for the state tournament. Ranked No. 9 in Class AAA, the Panthers’ goal was still lofty considering No. 7 Shakopee and No. 3 Prior Lake also are in Section 2AAA. “Over the past few years this really became one of the top sections,” Lakeville North co-head coach Geoff Staab said. The Panthers defeated Farmington 46-25 in the section quarterfinals last week, but lost to Shakopee in the semifinals 42-29. Right from the opening coin flip, Lakeville North knew it would be a long shot. The Panthers didn’t get what they wanted, allowing Shakopee to set up their matches favorably. “They were able to make some key moves that were costly to us,” co-head coach Paul Donner said. “They were able to duck our stars. It’s a chess match more than people realize.” The Panthers had pins
Coaches try to instill in players the ability to respond positively to adversity. At least that’s the idea. The Farmington boys hockey team confronted a new form of trouble last week when senior goalie Austin Krause scored on his own goal then abruptly left the ice during a game against Chaska on Senior Night, apparently upset over playing time for the seniors. It became headline news across the metro, state and nation. Rumors of a divided locker room spread through the Internet. Krause had some support, while others criticized his actions. Krause (492 minutes, .877 save percentage, 2.80 goals-against average) had
played in a rotation with sophomore Gage Overby (547 minutes, .901 save percentage, 2.42 goalsagainst) and junior Nick Schoening (203 minutes, .861 save percentage, 2.76 goals-against). Krause is no longer on the team. Using multiple goalies isn’t unheard of in varsity hockey. It allows coaches to go with the hot hand on any given night. Several other teams, including Missota rivals Shakopee, Holy Angels and Chanhassen, used a goalie rotation this season along with neighboring Lakeville South and two of the top teams in the state – Minnetonka and Edina. “The incident was an unfortunate, unwise and immature act by someone who will no doubt pay the price for his action, both
It was a relief for the Cougars who have won six of seven, with their only recent loss coming against Kennedy. The win should give the girls a confidence boost heading into playoffs beginning on Wednesday. Although, Lakeville South is having its best season on record, Section 2-4A appears to be one of the toughest in the state. The favorite in Section 2-4A is Bloomington Kennedy, a team that has spend a large chunk of the season ranked No. 1 in Class 4A. Lakeville South has played Kennedy tight on two occasions already. No. 5 Edina is also part of the mix, along with
Eden Prairie, which has played a brutal schedule filled with top-10 teams and still managed 15 victories. Lakeville South, Chanhassen and Shakopee are all well above .500, fighting for a coveted fourth seed, which would give the team a home game in the first quarterfinal on Thursday.
Cougar boys losing close ones The Lakeville South boys basketball team dropped its sixth loss in seven tries on Tuesday falling to Eastview 72-66, another close margin. The Cougars have got-
ten mixed up in all sorts of close games in February, losing to Rosemount by three points, Bloomington Jefferson by one, Prior Lake by two, and Eagan by seven. The team did win one of those close games, beating Bloomington Kennedy by two. The Cougars get a challenging run-up to playoffs with a visit from No. 9 Lakeville North on Tuesday and a trip to No. 1 ranked Apple Valley on March 1. The Cougars will hope to finish strong leading up to the Section 2-4A playoffs, which begin on March 6. Prior Lake and See NOTEBOOK, 13A

“We were a little nervous as the No. 1 seed,” Kochevar said. “We knew they would be a tough team.” The team got to state without star defender Dani Sadek, who is out with a serious ankle injury. “When you lose a player of her caliber, you need a group of girls to get together and step up,” Kochevar said. “It’s a team game.”
Last year the girls finished fourth at state, losing to eventual champion Minnetonka 2-1 in overtime in the semifinal, then falling to Edina 1-0 in the third-place game.

FRESHMAN EASTVIEW HIGH SCHOOL Margie Freed joined the Eastview High School Girls Nordic Ski team this year as a freshman and immediately made an impact. An extremely hard-working skier who improved tremendously as the season progressed, her efforts in practice spurred a young EVHS team to set high goals for themselves and put in the work necessary to achieve at this level. Margie’s regular season results were stellar with her finishing among the top 5-6 skiers at each South Suburban Conference (SSC) meet. Entering the post-season, big things were expected from Margie and she came through with flying colors leading the Eastview Girls team, on which 6 of 7 varsity skiers are freshmen, to a 2nd place finish in the SSC Pursuit Championships and a similar finish (2nd place by 6-points) in the Section – 1 Meet. Qualifying for the State Championships, a relatively rare occurrence for a freshman, Margie finished in 37th place with excellent races in both freestyle and classic techniques. Though the high school season is over, Margie will continue training for the National Junior Olympics to be held in Fairbanks Alaska in mid-March where she will be a member of the strong Midwest team.

breakaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has another gear speed-wise that allows him to gain separation from defending players and put it to good use on this particular play,â&#x20AC;? Revels said. The team took more penalties than normal, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t detrimental as Farmington allowed one power-play goal and scored a shorthanded goal. In his first varsity game, sophomore goalie John Seurer had 29 saves. Seurer was undefeated in junior varsity play this season with a .960 save percentage, helping the team, coached by Dan Pickens, go 24-1. The victory against Shakopee helped the Tigers get the No. 4 seed in the Section 1AA tournament, which began Thursday against No. 5 seed Rochester John Marshall (13-12), which won 10 of its previous 11 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four seed is where we were hoping to land and where we thought we belonged, so we were pretty pleased that the votes fell the way they did,â&#x20AC;? Revels said. It was Farmingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

first section quarterfinal home game since moving to Class AA in 2003. The previous best seeding was fifth. Revels coached the Farmington girls program to three state tournament appearances, including a runner-up finish in 2007. Boys assistant coach Shawn Anderson was head coach when Farmington went to the Class A state tournament in 1994 and 2000. Anderson also was an assistant coach for all four Farmington girls teams that went to state. The winner of the Farmington-John Marshall game will play in the Section 1AA semifinals, likely against No. 1 seed Lakeville North, at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Rochester Rec Center. Lakeville North finished the season with eight victories, but its strength of schedule and record against Section 1AA teams played a factor in its No. 1 seeding. Rochester Mayo came in at No. 2 and Lakeville South was No. 3.

Owatonna is 15-9, but Farmington is the only other team in the section with double-digit victories at 12-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shooting for a three or four seed,â&#x20AC;? Wyandt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done yet. I think we can be competitive with any team. Most people in our section probably know that. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a team anyone is itching to play. Whatever it is, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown in stretches how good we can be.â&#x20AC;?

SUN THISWEEK - Farmington - Lakeville February 22, 2013 19A
Thisweekend ‘Casablanca’ opens Classic Film Night series Rosemount Area Arts Council event is March 8 at Steeple Center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK
Don’t be surprised if you see a few Humphrey Bogart lookalikes ambling about downtown Rosemount in a few weeks. For its screening of “Casablanca” on March 8 at the city’s Steeple Center, the Rosemount Area Arts Council is encouraging guests to dress in “Casablanca”-inspired attire. The iconic white suit worn by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman’s khaki blazer, Sydney Greenstreet’s fez – just some of the wardrobe options classic film enthusiasts will have at their disposal. “I know of three people
who have already bought white suits, and two guys who went to Goodwill and bought trenchcoats,” said Ted Hammond, a Rosemount Area Arts Council board member who’s chairing the event. Hammond emphasized that “Casablanca” attire is encouraged but optional at the screening, which is the first in the arts council’s Classic Film Night series. The arts council is billing Classic Movie Night as a “date night”-type activity, and has partnered with Rudy’s Red Eye Grill in Rosemount, which will offer dinner discounts to filmgoers the night of the “Casablanca” event. The screening will include a “Casablanca” trivia contest, and a concession stand featuring popcorn that producers hope will conjure the taste and smell theater-goers would have experienced
at the premiere of “Casablanca” back in 1942. “We’re doing real popcorn with real butter – we researched how they make the popcorn at the Lagoon theater in Minneapolis,” Hammond said. While the arts council has envisioned Classic Film Night as an ongoing series, additional screenings have yet to be finalized. After “Casablanca,” the next film event will probably be held in the summer or fall, Hammond said. Tickets for “Casa- Guests at the March 8 screening of “Casablanca” are encouraged to come dressed as blanca” are $5 and can be Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman or other characters from the iconic 1942 film. pruchased at the Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail, or by calling (952) 255-8545. More about the event is at www.rosemountarts.com. Andrew Miller can be reached at andrew.miller@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Michelle Beck has moved her bridal shop, Bridal Accents Couture, to Burnsville’s Heart of the City.
Bridalwear in the Heart of the City New location a fresh start for Bridal Accents Couture by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK
Always drawn to fashion and design, Michelle Beck has spent a lifetime working toward her goal of being a shopkeeper. It extended from her make-believe games as a girl growing up in Burnsville to a six-year stint with Nordstrom, learning the ropes of fashion retail. Today Beck owns Bridal Accents Couture, the Savage shop she bought in 2009 and moved to Burnsville’s Heart of the City in late December 2012. Seeking a space more centrally located for a regional clientele, Beck purchased 5,600 square feet of suite space on the first floor of the Park Crest on Nicollet condominium building. Located at 12501 Nicollet Ave., the bridal shop is next to Jo Jo’s Rise and
Wine and includes the space once occupied by the Double Dip ice cream shop. It’s the only commercial-storefront bridal shop in Burnsville, said Beck, who held a grand opening earlier this month. “I like the location and I wanted to freshen the brand and be brand new, and have a little more space as well,” she said. A 1992 graduate of The Academy of Holy Angels, Beck studied fashion merchandising and management at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She began her career at Nordstrom at the Mall of America, first as an intern and then as a full-time employee. She was hired as assistant manager of accessories after college, and within a few months had been promoted to manager of the store’s Savvy department, which handles women’s designer labels. “I ultimately wanted more of a small boutique setting where I could make a lot of the decisions with
regard to marketing and buying,” Beck said. In 1999, after having her first child, Beck was hired as a part-time sales associate at Bridal Accents Couture, which had outfitted her and her sister’s double wedding in 1997. “Ten bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, two brides,” said Beck, who now lives in Lakeville with husband Adam and their children, 13-year-old Morgan and 9-year-old Luke. “My mother got her gown there.” She became manager and buyer at Bridal Accents Couture, which was located in a cluster of wedding-related shops on West County Road 42 known as the Bridal Retreat. Bridal Accents Couture owner Sonja Bomhoff eventually relocated to Texas, said Beck, who bought the business in 2009 from a subsequent owner. The Bridal Retreat eventually dissolved as businesses came and went, but one of the businesses — Kim’s Tailoring, owned
by Angela Kim — followed Beck to Burnsville and rents space from her at Park Crest on Nicollet. “Our brides don’t have to use her, but most do,” Beck said. “She’s very talented.” Bridal Accents Couture offers brides selections from 14 designers, Beck said. It carries rental tuxes from two suppliers. The trend in bridalwear is toward lace and neckline variations, said Beck, who travels annually to an industry show in New York. Strapless gowns are losing some steam. “Certainly the royal wedding had an influence on that,” she said. The store employs eight people, including sales and marketing manager Aubrie Hansen. For more information, call (952) 846-4496 or visit www.bridalaccentscouture. com. John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
