Letter: Learning how to make a difference
I give 10 stars to the guest opinion article by Lauren Ellison on March 24, "What can happen when we outdo our destroyers." The article talked about how we can use our words to build, or condemn others.
Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate articles that can help readers identify positive ways we can improve life. The news is full of the negatives in the world, but the point should be to help us figure out solutions. Thank you for showing us how to make that difference.

In our opinion: Government, law enforcement need to work hard to keep up with modern crime
A family in North Salt Lake has been under siege lately by someone who keeps calling service providers and ordering work on its behalf. This "stalking on steroids," as a police sergeant called it, has gone as far as sending drug dealers and prostitutes to the house at all hours.
Meanwhile, Salt Lake City police police responded to a false report that someone was shooting people inside a house. This tactic, known as "swatting" because it often results in a SWAT team responding to the call, endangers unwitting residents inside the house whose innocent actions might be misinterpreted as threatening. Police have little choice but to take such calls seriously.
Both incidents might be filed under the title, "Life can be hard in the 21st century," and then forgotten. But they deserve more attention than that.
The answer may lie in beefing up detection technologies to trace the origins of calls, although tech-savvy criminals are good at masking phone numbers and playing geographic sleight of hand. A Fox 13 news report said the "swatting" caller used a disconnected cell phone that can't be tracked.
In stalking incidents, governments may want to consider establishing a clearinghouse for victims. Someone being harassed by a stalker could register his or her phone number with an online database that service providers would routinely check before responding to a call. We hesitate to seek a government solution, but sometimes this is the only answer to criminal activity.
It's clear the North Salt Lake incident has been costly to more than just the family. As the Deseret News reported, an environmental cleanup company in Provo was called and told the house was flooding. Four crews were assembled and responded before learning they had been scammed, at a cost of about $4,000.
Other providers have been called from as far away as Idaho. Pizzas have been sent. Police have been called to the home more than 80 times over four months. The costs keep piling up.
The victim complains that it feels as if the perpetrator is constantly on his front doorstep, even though he may be thousands of miles away. The homeowner has put a sign on his lawn warning providers they probably are being pranked.
Such is the reach of modern technology. Most of what it provides is positive. We may legitimately order items and have them delivered within hours. We can connect with friends and family, or even with doctors, through video calls. But every technological breakthrough also provides criminals with easier ways to do their jobs.
Just ask any retailer whose credit card system has been compromised, or any consumer who has had his or her identity stolen.
Amid all of this, it is sobering to consider how Utah lawmakers just approved the initial steps to allow for electronic driver licenses that could be used as identification. This idea may have merit, but the state must consider possible criminal uses and how to prevent them before proceeding.
Police say the stalker of the North Salt Lake family may reside in Hawaii. Officials are using voice recognition technology to try to build a case. This is further evidence of how complicated harassment has become in the modern age, where multiple jurisdictions need to cooperate in order to protect the public.
It is important to note that police do take these crimes seriously. As the Deseret News reported recently, a Clearfield man was arrested and charged in connection with a "swatting" incident last summer.
The challenges of modern life will grow as technology advances and more and more common interactions, and financial transactions, occur in cyberspace. The trick is for government and law enforcement to keep up with the bad guys, and for taxpayers to provide the resources necessary.

How a lifelong struggle with scoliosis prepared principal artist Beckanne Sisk for Ballet West's 'Onegin'
SALT LAKE CITY — When a spine specialist advised a teenaged Beckanne Sisk to give up dancing nearly a decade ago, she decided to listen to her heart instead of her head. Now, as the Ballet West principal dancer prepares for her leading role in the Utah premiere of "Onegin," she opened up about her battle with severe, career-threatening scoliosis and the inspiration she's found in her character, Tatiana, a powerful woman who beats the odds despite being dealt a bad hand.
Dancing through the pain
"When I first learned about my diagnosis at 13, it really scared me," said Sisk, whose gift for dance, even at that young age, was already turning heads in her Longview, Texas, hometown. But during rapid growth spurts, her spine had become not only twisted, but had also developed two S-shaped curves.
The spinal malformation was diagnosed as scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine problematic for regular folks, but potentially detrimental for a dancer — and likely a dream killer for young Sisk.
"It concerned my mom, too," said Sisk, who acknowledged her mother's persistence as tantamount to her success. "She saw how much I loved to dance — I was dancing all over the house all the time."
Her mother, Laurie Beck, tends to resist any credit, according to a laughing Sisk, for fear of being perceived as a "dance mom."

"She's not a 'dance mom' at all, but she agreed that (dance) was what I was meant to do and so she was going to do everything she could to help me get there," Sisk said.
This included finding Sisk an alternative to wearing a brace "with metal bars from my shoulder to my neck for 24 hours a day until I stopped growing," she said. Instead, with her mom's help, she began a disciplined regimen of weight training and strengthening exercises to build the muscles in her back and keep them from sinking into her spine.
"It has made all the difference," Sisk said. "It has kept me dancing even though there will always be some pain."
Her discipline and undaunted determination paid off.
At 14, Sisk moved to Philadelphia at the invitation of the famous Rock School for Dance Education, a ballet training high school that has launched the career of hundreds of professional ballet dancers.
Yet even as she refined her dancing, she continued to battle scoliosis on a daily basis with the demands her training put on her spine — from stretching, extending and contorting to practically buckling in half.
"For me, the pain got worse and the curvature became more noticeable as I grew. I had teachers trying to push back my shoulders or shift my leotard over because I looked crooked to them," she said. "Plus my left side was just always really tight, and sometimes my left arm would go numb in class."
Sisk recalled learning the "Dying Swan" solo from "Swan Lake" during her training as a teenager in Philadelphia. The choreography required more extension from her back and legs than she was used to.
"I thought, 'I can't do it,'" she said. "Scoliosis wasn't supposed to hurt, but it was hurting me."

Instead of calling it quits, however, Sisk doubled her efforts outside the studio and in the gym to combat scoliosis' painful effects. She said she also learned how to make small adaptations in the way she extends her limbs on her right side — which she said is her unfavorable side for extension. She's found that a slightly tweaked angle in an arabesque, for example, has allowed her freedom to explore the sky-high angles she's now famous for.
'Limitless potential'
During a competition the same year she learned the "Swan Lake" solo, Sisk caught the attention of Ballet West's artistic director, Adam Sklute.
"I first saw Beckanne dance when she was 15 years old," he told the Deseret News. At the time, Sklute was a judge for a prestigious youth ballet competition in which Sisk was a finalist. "What I saw was a fearless, beautiful, exciting performer with an amazing turning ability, extension and balance. I saw star quality and limitless potential."
Acting as a judge again the following year, Sklute said, "I decided that even if I didn't make an offer to anyone else, I wanted Beckanne Sisk for my company."
She accepted the contract with Ballet West upon graduation at 18 and swiftly rose to the rank of principal dancer within a handful of years — having already danced dozens of principal roles in the company before enjoying the official title. She was also singled out for her talent on a network reality show, "Breaking Pointe" as the up-and-coming prima ballerina of the company.
It should come as no surprise, then, given her abilities and what Sklute calls her "amazing work ethic and determination," that Sisk was one of just a few women (including Arolyn Williams and Katie Critchlow) chosen for the lead role of Tatiana in Ballet West's upcoming premiere of choreographer John Cranko's 1965 ballet "Onegin," based on Alexander Pushkin's famous Russian novel.
Having worked closely with the dancer for nearly eight years, Sklute said he sees remarkable similarities between Sisk and her character, Tatiana.
"Even as a young trainee, Beckanne embodied that kindness and also that impetuousness that reminds me very much of young Tatiana," he said. "But like the more mature version of her character — the Tatiana we come to know towards the end of 'Onegin' — Beckanne has faced some challenges that I believe have made her into the strong, elegant and wise woman she is today."
Sisk, too, feels a kinship with her character.
"This isn't your typical fairy tale — Tatiana's story is so relatable," said Sisk of the spurned young woman whose love letter is torn up and unfeelingly brushed aside by the young Russian dandy Eugene Onegin. "She is rejected by the man she loves and has to look inward and decide who she wants to be. This is real-life stuff and honestly, I think this is her story, not his."

Beckanne Sisk and Chase O'Connell rehearse for "Onegin" at Ballet West in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, March 19, 2019.
Sisk will dance opposite her fiancé, principal dancer Chase O'Connell, as he takes on the snobbish title character, Eugene Onegin (Rex Tilton and Adrian Fry have also been cast). With the couple planning to tie the knot in the summer of 2020, one might say Sisk, unlike Tatiana, has been lucky in love. But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand heartache.
"I know how it feels to have my dreams cast aside," she said. "Tatiana has to overcome being told 'no' to something she wants so desperately. She has to take ownership and grow up and learn who she is."
Sklute described one especially poignant scene that occurs in the ballet's third act. Tatiana, now a married and successful woman at the top of the social chain, confronts Onegin years after he spurred her — but this time, it is her turn to tear up love letters.
"She still feels passion for her first love and still feels the sting of unrequited love," he said. "But now we see a shift. She is a mature woman who holds the power. Ultimately, she sends him packing."
And although this an unrequited love story, Sisk insists "Onegin" is ultimately redemptive.
"This feels like a ballet about female empowerment," said Sisk. "At first, Tatiana is the one pursuing the man she loves. Then, after he rejects and humiliates her, she comes back in a big way and really has the last word."
