Former Eagan teacher sentenced for stalking student
A former Eagan middle school teacher will serve 30 days of house arrest in each of the next five years after pleading guilty to stalking a former 12-year-old female student on social media, the Dakota County attorney’s office announced Tuesday. 26 year old Cody Woodrow Hansen of Hastings was sentenced last week. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a press release that Hansen will also serve 5 years probation. He pleaded guilty in August to using snapchat to interact with the former student for several months. Hansen used several usernames to contact the student, telling her she was cute, asking if she ever kissed anyone and if she liked older men. He finally admitted to the girl it was him and that he could get into trouble. She told Eagan police that she “felt creepy and unsafe” in Hansen’s classroom.

Turkey Trot like a very large family reunion
Once again, Northfield Rotary’s Turkey Trot turned out the runners and walkers. About a thousand people gathered on a perfect day for running the annual 5K which raises dollars that will help fund the Student Exchange program. Robert Bierman commented on how travel abroad affects the kids, “it’s eye-opening, it’s enlightening and you realize that it’s one world. And I think that it changes people for the rest of their lives, and the way they see themselves and the world”. He added that it also changes the way we think of our own country. The atmosphere is almost like a very large family reunion as multiple families have gathered now for years to run (or walk) the race.
