Group home cited for maltreatment after client death
3-D printers build body parts at Century
BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR
in Shoreview March 6. Century College students toured the bioprinting center two weeks ago, Jasken said. He also brought several students to hear Panoskaltsis-Mortari speak at the VHEDC event about advances in bioprinting and what its future role could be in general medical practice. Last fall, Panoskaltsis-Mortari launched the fi rst 3-D bioprinting course in the country at the University of Minnesota. Students 3-D print cells to make tissues and organs. This is how it works: Adult skin cells are reprogrammed to be like embryonic stem cells, which in turn are made into the desired type of body cell to be used in 3-D printing.
SHOREVIEW — A client who was not checked on for 41 hours died in a group home this winter from heroin toxicity. The vulnerable adult was in a supported living services home operated by Dungarvin Minnesota and was independent but at risk for causing self-inflicted harm due to alcohol and drug use, according to Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) documents. The individual (the gender of the vulnerable adult was not identified) was on probation for drug possession. The group home was to provide a safe environment for the individual and limit unsupervised time in the community. However, staff did not check on the adult for 41 hours in November and eventually found them dead in their bedroom with a syringe, needle, plate and broken spoon. The Ramsey County Medical Examiner reported the individual died of “acute heroin toxicity.”

Students at Century College will soon be 3-D printing with body cells. The college has plans to launch a certificate program in biomanufacturing fall or spring semester 2019, said Randy Jasken, additive and digital manufacturing faculty member. The program will be in partnership with the biology department. The University of Minnesota 3-D Bioprinting Center is partnering with the college to assist the launch, said its director, Dr. Angela Panoskaltsis-Mortari, at a medical 3-D printing presentation hosted by the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC)

All-inclusive scouting program teaches traditional skills BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD PRESS EDITOR
The 6th Woodrunners of the Twin Cities was the fi rst Baden-Powell Service Association (BPSA) chapter to form in the state. Today, there are three chapters in Minnesota. BPSA was formed in the U.S. in 2006 as an independent and traditional-style scouting association, not affi liated with the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. Robert Baden-Powell drafted the principles in 1907, which center on the origins of scouting: promoting self-reliance, good citizenship, training
in habits of observation, and loyalty. “Traditional scouting is about creating confident, productive, skillful and participatory community members through a fun program that is outdoor-focused and to gain a better perspective of our world. I believe this is the best I can do for my children as a parent,” said Chun-Yin Chong, Scoutmaster of the 6th Woodrunners. Chong, a Lino Lakes resident, helped establish the local chapter. Both his 11-yearold son Lucas and 6-year-old daughter Sophia are members
of the organization. Chong is an immigrant from Malaysia who grew up in the scouting program. He came to the U.S in 1999 to obtain a bachelor’s degree in fi nance from St. Cloud State University. After he graduated and found a job, he decided to stay in the country. He is currently a commercial real estate appraiser. Lucas was previously in another scouting organization, but didn’t love it. “He didn’t enjoy his experience at another organization because SEE SCOUTING, PAGE 16

School shootings GUNS DON’T KILL people. People kill people.” You have heard that over and over. Then another school shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine’s Day took 17 lives. Tragic! And unnecessary and perhaps controllable. The killer made his plans public. Our law enforcement was not plugged in with adequate communication or judgement. Security people at Parkland, Florida, remained outside the school building when the shooting took place. Frightened or inadequately prepared or oblivious to the situation. After all, law enforcement gets About the hundreds of leads and warnings every day. This murderer had a troubled Town past, but the record didn’t eliminate him from buying an assault rifle and Gene Johnson ammunition. I grew up with guns for hunting. Our children did, too. They also took gun safety lessons. We treat guns with respect and proper handling. I also had rifle and machine gun training in the National Guard. Guns are used in war time for killing. AK-47s or AR-15s semi-automatics can deliver heavy fire power. I don’t see them used for hunting or in the hands of people who lack responsibility and where behavior problems are on record. The bump stock for rapid fire is totally unnecessary and should be banned. Thorough background checks will help, but not totally eliminate the problem. Moving the age for purchasing AK-47s or AR-15s is unnecessary. It only discriminates by age and violates the constitution. Mental illness has played a big part in the behavior of school shooters. The “Safe School Initiative” report in 2016 by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) focused on behaviors of school shooters leading up to the attack. They include: 98 percent of the attackers experienced or perceived a major loss prior to the attack; 78 percent of attackers had a history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts prior to their attack; 71 percent of attackers felt persecuted, bullied, threatened, attacked, or injured by others prior to the incidents (in several cases that harassment was described as “long-standing and severe”). Many schools have improved safety and emergency lockdown procedures. Some gun-free schools are staffing armed security people. Metal detectors are also being used to eliminate weapons from entering buildings. Homes and parents are for teaching responsibility and moral behavior. Don’t just blame the schools and society for the problem. The number of homes where parents lack discipline and youth with greater emotional distress are on the rise. Hollywood knows that violence sells. So do the digital game makers. If you feed the mind with violence, it becomes a norm in life. Congress will debate the gun laws again. The National Rifle Association will make their case. Our founding fathers were very concerned for our freedoms, thus the Second Amendment which reads: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Let’s look at the root causes of these senseless shootings and begin the necessary correction. Remember, laws are for law abiding people. I hope we don’t have to arm and train teachers with weapons. Our public schools need protection for the major role they play in society. Curriculums need updates on behavior and conflict resolution. Troubled students need immediate help from professional counselors. Families need to get back to the basics of the Scriptures, listen to their children, be proactive for their children and work together with schools and law enforcement to help solve the problems the children face. Teaching the Golden Rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” can go a long way in helping solve some of these problems.

Importance of open, transparent government
O
pen government is not a political platform. It is a basic American right.

Openness in government is not a liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, independent, Libertarian or freedom caucus issue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Successful town hall meeting Last week, I hosted a town hall meeting at the Shoreview library to provide constituents an update on the 2018 legislative session and to hear from residents about issues that are important to them and their families.

The discussion was civil and respectful. As your state representative, I welcome the opportunity to hear from constituents on the issues that you care about. Many comments of encouragement as well as questions and ideas about various issues were offered. Thank you for taking the time to come out and share your thoughts. Your input helps me be an effective representative for our community.

CREATE YOUR LEGACY BUILD THE FOUNDATION
Rep. Randy Jessup House District 42A
The Shoreview Community Foundation needs you I want to thank everyone who has made the Shoreview Community Foundation so successful in a relatively short time. Because of you, the Shoreview Community Foundation has made 22 grants to 15 different organizations serving Shoreview and surrounding communities. These grants, totaling $49,760, have supported theater and other arts groups, inclusive school playgrounds, food shelves, senior living facilities, historical preservation, social service organizations and the Ramsey County Library. That is amazing, considering the foundation was started in 2008. Thank you to the more than 400 individuals and corporations who have made that possible. Our mission is to maintain, enhance and enrich the quality of life in Shoreview by connecting the generosity of people with the evolving needs of the community. This year, the board wants to celebrate its 10th anniversary by reaching the goal set by the founders of having over $1 million in our endowment fund. We are hoping to expand our base and meet our goal by initiating a vigorous fundraising campaign. Donations from $50 to $120,000 have given us great momentum. To meet our $1 million goal, the foundation needs to raise an additional $350,000 by the end of the year. This is where we need you. We need to “get the word out” about the Shoreview Community Foundation, really your Foundation, and its work.

I-35 road project will affect drivers BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR
Beginning this spring, road work on I-35 will eventually result in a more up-to-date, effi cient design, affecting the communities of Forest Lake, Columbus, Lino Lakes and other surrounding areas. Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) held an open house at the Forest Lake Senior Center March 6 to present the stages of the project to the public and answer questions. Project Manager Ryan Coddington said that the two-year project is mainly for preservation. “The three bridges needed work and so those were identified, and then the pavement was also really rough out there, with a lot of potholes,” he said. “So we’re going to take the bituminous off and put down a long-term pavement so it will be smoother, better.” In addition to road resurfacing, the project includes three bridge replacements at Highway 97, Highway 8 and the northbound I-35E bridge over I-35W. “One of the things we took into account was minimizing traffic impacts,” Coddington said. “So a lot of the bridges are on new alignment where we can maintain the existing alignment before we move it over. 97 was part of a long-term process, so our plan was just to replace the bridge as it is. Anoka County had a plan to do something more, so they came to the table and we partnered with them and they brought some additional money so we could put in the diverging diamond interchange.” The Highway 8 bridge will also look a bit different, replacing the current fl yover bridge with a loop ramp. Coddington said the reason for this is because it will allow the current bridge to remain in use during the construction process. One question that came up during the open house was why there is no northbound ramp on the
planned bridge replacement on Highway 8. “We don’t see a lot of demand for that ramp at this time,” Coddington said. “Right now a lot of folks, as they’re coming on 8, will take 61, and there’s also a county road which connects right to northbound through Wyoming. As the area of northern Forest Lake grows that demand will increase, and the design of the interchange doesn’t preclude that from happening in the future, so it can easily be added when the need is there.” Coddington said that Columbus and Forest Lake will be especially affected by the project, with lesser impacts in the Lino Lakes area. Delays may be especially notable in Columbus, which relies on the Highway 97 bridge for access to its main industrial area. He also expects that businesses on Broadway Avenue will experience freeway delays. MnDOT has provided a few resources for business owners affected by the ongoing project, which can be found at www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/ projects/i35northmetrosplit/business.html. In the meantime, Coddington emphasized that patience and planning your route ahead of time is the best way to manage the challenges during the project’s completion. During spring and summer 2018, drivers can expect long-term lane closures in the stretch between Highway 97 and Highway 8. The ramps at Highway 97, Broadway Avenue and Highway 8 will remain open during this period. Although lane closures will happen throughout the process, MnDOT representative Denise Workcuff said that at most the road will only be closed for a day or two at a time during the bridge replacements in the later stages of the project. Construction on the project will be complete in 2019. To learn more, or sign up to receive updates on the project, visit www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/ projects/i35northmetrosplit/index.html. The project also has a hotline you can call for questions and updates at 651-321-2499, or you can email MnDOT at info@135northmetrosplit.com.

Bioprinting: Coming to Century College in 2019 from page 1
“The idea here is you would be making an organ using a patient’s own stem cells,” Panoskaltsis-Mortari said. These tailor-made organs may be less prone to rejection than transplants from other people. Bioprinting should really be considered 4-D (four-dimensional), she added, since the organic material needs to mature inside or outside a body. 3-D bioprinted body parts that have seen the most success so far in the medical world include bones, skin and nerves. In a collaborative study between the U of M and other universities, an implanted nerve piece in a rat helped regrow a nerve connection and enable the rat to walk normally again, Panoskaltsis-Mortari said. People in the medical community imagine 3-D bioprinting will replace skin grafting for burns by a machine that would “print directly on the
affected area of skin cells derived from the patient’s own skin cells,” he noted. The Hennepin County Medical Center has begun to use 3-D printed bone replacements. The first use of 3-D printing in a medical setting was a jawbone made for a woman in England in 2012. The first bioprinted cells were made at Clemson University in 2004. Other uses of 3-D bioprinting in the medical field include printing pills that could hold multiple drugs in one pill and biodegradable scaffolds to guide tissue growth, Panoskaltsis-Mortari said. At the event, representatives from Abbott, Boston Scientific and Magic Arms also described the use of 3-D printing for medical devices, simulators and educational models. “The applications of 3-D printing are only limited by your imagination,” said Eric Jenson, founder of
Magic Arms, a nonprofit dedicated to the distribution of a medical device that assists those with neuromuscular conditions. Century College students who attended the event said they were encouraged to see how 3-D printing is used in the medical field. The students are part of the additive and digital manufacturing program; their main classroom is the college’s Fab Lab. “It’s cool to see the real-world applications in person,” said student Eric Johnson. Students in the associate of science degree program study 3-D printing, prototyping, manufacturing, digital fabrication and robotics, among other topics. “It’s nice to see students have a future in it,” said student Charles Georgi.
Also in the future: 3-D printing orthotics and prosthetics at Century
Century College students are also exploring the future of 3-D printing in orthotics and prosthetics. Last week, additive and digital manufacturing students showed orthotic and prosthetic students how to use 3-D printers in the Fab Lab. Although 3-D printing is not yet an official part of the Orthotic and Prosthetic Practitioner Program curriculum, students have begun to use it for extra-curricular research projects, said Chad Smith, orthotic technology faculty. “It’s the future of our field,” Smith said. “Instead of teaching to the past, we want to teach to the future.” Students were visiting the Fab Lab to get an overview of the basics of 3-D printing in order to be prepared for the near future. Although many 3-D printed items are not yet strong enough for patient use, with the rate of technology growth that could all change by next year, Smith noted. The Fab Lab recently ordered a 3-D powder printer that could potentially print high-quality orthotics and prosthetics with a material similar to sheetrock, Jasken said. The robotic carving arm received by the orthotic and prosthetic program in 2016 is already housed in the Fab Lab. Century College has

the only post-secondary orthotic and prosthetic program in the state with options ranging from a diploma to a master’s degree. The Fab Lab, which is open to all students, has received about $2 million in donations the last two years to increase its 3-D printing technologies. The college is also currently seeking funding from the Minnesota Legislature to expand the lab’s innovation across the hallway with an engineering and applied technology center; a level would be added above the automotive education area below. The total cost would be about $6.4 million.
You should know: Century College will host a symposium on 3-D bioprinting from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 27 in the Lincoln Mall for high school and college students, teachers and counselors, and industry professionals.

SCOUTING: Outdoor fun without badges and sales FROM PAGE 1
he was shy and for two years he didn’t really make friends,” Chong explained. In 2008, Chong stumbled across BPSA online and joined as an adult. In 2014 he and another father from Elk River, Greg Wierschk, decided to start their own chapter, and it has slowly grown from there. Chong liked the fact that there was no individual fundraising required and that it was an all-inclusive group in which everyone could participate. The BPSA belongs to the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS), which has 82 affi liated scout organizations in 41 countries. The BPSA has 84 chapters in 26 states. The two other groups in Minnesota are located in Mora and Duluth. Currently, the group has around 8-10 families and the members range in age from 3 to 11. There are also two adult members. The group meets twice a month in Anoka and its members hail mostly from the northern suburbs, including Lino Lakes, Anoka, St. Francis and Elk River. “We are not anti-Boy Scouts or anti-Girl scouts, we are just different. We consider ourselves their brothers and sisters,” Chong said. One aspect of the program Chong has enjoyed is there is not a huge emphasis on achieving a rank or earning badges. “Back in my younger days everybody wanted to achieve the highest award they could earn. I think
instead of rushing to a destination, it is more important to enjoy the journey along the way,” he said. “The biggest reward is the experience of being a scout. I don’t chase after an award or badge. I want to make sure that I live up to the ideal of being a scout, which is to help other people and take care of myself.” A main focus of the program is teaching outdoor skills such as starting a fire, knife safety and how to use a compass. “We teach a lot of traditional skills that people don’t really pay attention to. Today everybody relies on GPS, but we still want them to know what direction they are going, how to read a map, how to safely handle a knife and how to render fi rst aid if someone accidentally cuts themselves,” Chong explained. Lucas said his favorite part about the organization is “he doesn’t have to sell popcorn.” On a more serious note, he really likes that he doesn’t constantly have to work on a badge. He really enjoys the outdoors, especially fishing, camping, hiking and chopping wood. “In this group I feel like I have a lot more friends who are really close,” he said. “I like how there isn’t as much pressure, it is more about doing fun things.” The group is also about service.

Mustang football star eager to help Gophers start ‘new era’
BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED
Max Janes snagged a long pass against White Bear Lake last fall. He was a primarily a tight end and linebacker for the Mustangs.
“Wrestling this year was one of the best decisions of my life,” said Janes, adding that he persuaded one of his younger brothers to wrestle “all through high school like I have.” Janes is excited about the next big chapter in his athletic life. “I know I can play in the Big Ten,” he said. “I’m coming in to prove I can be a great college player and help take Minnesota to another level.”
football. Morgan said sure, if you come out for wrestling. “Rowan came out and got allconference as a D-lineman, so I fi gured I had to hold up my end (of the bargain),” said Janes, who credited head coach Danny Engretson and assistant Marty Morgan (Rowan’s dad) with a great crash course in wrestling to make him competitive.
Athlete
of the
Week*
You can count Max Janes as one of the believers in the new Minnesota Gophers football coach, P.J. Fleck. The Mounds View football player signed with the Gophers as a preferred walk-on Feb. 2, after getting plenty of college attention the past two years. “I chose the Gophers because Coach Fleck sold me on being a part of building something special from the ground up,” said the swift, 6-foot3, 230-pound athlete who played tight end, linebacker, and occasionally quarterback in a wildcat formation, for the Mustangs. “No where else did I have a chance to be part of a coach’s fi rst recruiting class and the beginning of a new era for the Gophers,” Janes said. “I bought into his passion and enthusiasm for football and also the big things about life that aren’t football. I believe he will make me a better man as well as a better player.” This will be Fleck’s second year at the U of M, and this is his own fi rst recruiting class. During his junior year, Janes caught 24 passes for 581 yards and seven touchdowns on a 7-3 team. As a senior, he caught 19 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns on a
3-6 team. He had an excellent season on defense, making 60 tackles (10 for losses), five sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions. “Preferred walk-on” status means the player is assured a spot on the team but not offered a scholarship, with the possibility of earning one later. The Gophers for now see him as a linebacker. “I will start out learning all four linebacker positions,” he said. “If they need more fullbacks or tight ends, I’ll be able to learn those, too.” Mustang coach Aaron Moberg praised Janes as a “dominant” and “dynamic” player who pushes himself to reach full potential, especially in the weight room. “The Gophers are getting a young man with a huge heart,” Moberg said. “The Gophers coaches were thrilled when Max accepted the offer to walk on.” Janes showed his considerable athletic ability this winter by going out for wrestling for the fi rst time. Competing against 220-pounders who’ve been wrestling since grade school, Janes had a 17-7 record and qualified for the state tournament. Janes said this came about because of a deal he made with Mustang junior Rowan Morgan, a close friend. He wanted Morgan to come out for

Walker accident causes bump
A vulnerable adult at Mary T Associates fell and bumped their head after a staff person incorrectly used a walker on an outing last summer. The walker had a clearly visible label stating it should not be used as a transport chair and the seat should only be used when the brakes were engaged. However, a staff person pushed the vulnerable adult while the individual was seated on the walker seat. The walker tipped and the client fell and bumped their head. They were taken to the emergency room for a CT scan, which indicated the only injury sustained was a red bump on the scalp. The staff person said they did not know they should not push the vulnerable adult on the walker. The facility retrained staff on the appropriate use of walkers. It also obtained a wheelchair for the vulnerable adult to use on community outings. The staff person was not disqualified from providing direct care services by DHS in the future because it was their first incident of maltreatment. Mary T Associates is located at 360 Lilac Lane, Shoreview.
Investigation information available online
DHS investigates supported living services businesses when incidents are reported to determine whether maltreatment occurred. DHS grants and revokes licenses and keeps a record of facility investigations. Licensing information on group homes is accessible to the public on the DHS website at licensinglookup.dhs.state.mn.us.

Touching gold: Youth hockey players inspired by homegrown Olympians nouncer Kirk Possehl. The girls grew up playing with the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association when they were students at St. Odilia in Shoreview. “They’ve carved a path for all of you to follow,” said association representative Jerry Kwapick. Coach Brian Geir said he has told his players, “You have the same opportunity.” Greg said the girls’ journey to the Olympics really began at Children’s Discovery day care in Vadnais Heights, where the family met another family who got them started in hockey. “For all you young girls out there, follow your dreams,” Robin said. “We lived a dream I never would have expected.” Thousands of people have touched her gold medal, Hannah said. She wouldn’t have it any other way — she wants to share it, she said.

The event, planned March 8 because Hannah flew home the day before and Marissa was to fly out the next day, happened to coincide with International Women’s Day. Not only that, but local historian Jeff Williams pointed out that earlier that day a South Korean delegate visited the White House with a letter from North Korean President Kim Jongun inviting President Trump to talk about denuclearization. Williams said he thought the Olympics, the unified Korean hockey team and Hannah and Marissa played a significant role in bringing the historic discussion about. “Sports unifies people,” noted the evening’s MC and local sports an-

“They are not just athletes,” Beth said. “They are role models to young girls.” Hannah and Marissa’s parents Greg and Robin spoke to a crowd of family, friends and youth hockey players after they were allowed to mingle with the Olympians. Greg and Robin mentioned they were proud of Marissa for exploring the culture of her birth country, unifying the unified Korean hockey team players as a captain, and being named an official ambassador for Korean adoptees to help find their birth parents.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association girls U10A player No. 20 kissed Hannah Brandt’s gold medal last week. “She has the same number as me, and we both play forward,” said Mia Fischer at a community homecoming party held at the Vadnais Heights Commons March 8. Youth players met both Hannah and Marissa Brandt, took photos, got autographs and skated in the Community Park ice rink recently named in the Olympians’ honor throughout the evening. “They are so good, and I can’t really imagine how they were this young,” said Grace Bailey, a teammate of Fischer’s. The girls were not just awed by Hannah’s gold medal but that both sisters were Olympians. “I think it’s fun either way,” Bailey said. “Play your best ... have fun,” Fischer added. Spending time with local youth hockey girls where they played while growing up is something Hannah and Marissa were excited about. “We hope to inspire young girls to want to play hockey,” said Marissa, who played for the first-ever unified Korean national team. “We want to inspire the next generation of girls that you can do anything you set your mind to,” said Hannah, who made Team USA after her dream of making the team for the 2014 Olympics was dashed. Longtime family friends John and Beth Richardson, who have known the girls since they were babies and have attended their games for many years, said they have always been impressed by how Hannah and Marissa played with character and humility.
