Crystal. Painfully shy, Van Waes was surprised when she took second place in the contest. “Ever since then, I’ve enjoyed performing on stage,” said Van Waes, who aspires to be a Broadway actor. At age 16, Van Waes decided to take a hiatus from pageantry to focus on her studies. Shortly after graduating high school, Van Waes enrolled at Inver Hills Community College where she plans to take general courses before transferring to a university to earn a bachelor’s in musical theater and communications.

After spending more than three decades in education, Apple Valley High School Assistant Principal Laura Kay Allen is retiring at the end of the school year. “She has worked in education for 35 years and certainly deserves to retire,” AVHS Principal Stephen Degenaar said. “But I wish she’d stay as long as I’m here.

Indie film puts local actor on the big screen Gabriele Angieri has a starring role in ‘Profile of a Killer’ by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hollywood megastar Samuel L. Jackson might have had himself another hit playing a kidnapped FBI man in the movie “Profile of a Killer.” We’ll never know. Gabriele Angieri, a stage actor from Burnsville, got the part instead. Jackson was supposed to play the role of retired FBI profiler Saul Aitken, who’s kidnapped by a teenage serial killer named David. That was before writerdirector Caspian TredwellOwen fell short of financing the $12 million picture. Undeterred, he brought his screenplay to Minnesota, hired Minnesota actors, shot Minnesota scenery and made his film for about $180,000. “I’m probably quite a different Saul Aitken than Sam Jackson would have been,” said Angieri, 52, who auditioned in an open call posted with the Minnesota Film and Television Board. “But it was thrilling to get the part, to get cast out of all my peers. And it’s thrilling to actually have the movie be released and get some exposure, because I’m really proud of the work.” “Profile of a Killer” debuted last November in Belgium, according to film website IMDb. It’s been shown on French and Dutch television and lately has been barnstorming its way through Twin Citiesarea multiplexes. “Profile of a Killer” wrapped up a three-week run April 4 at Regal Cinemas in Brooklyn Center. It’s now showing at CEC Theatres’ Northwoods Cinema 10 in Owatonna. It will open today (Friday, April 26) at CEC’s Hudson 12 Theatre in Hudson, Wis., and at Marcus Cinemas in Hastings and Oakdale.

“The film has grown its own little legs,” Angieri said. Tredwell-Owen, a British writer-director whose writing credits include 2003’s “Beyond Borders” (Angelina Jolie) and 2005’s “The Island” (Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson), made his directing debut with “Profile of a Killer.” His efforts to shop the film around Hollywood in 2007 and 2008 fell victim to the bad economy and suspicions that it was just another teen slasher flick, Angieri said. “This is really not that,” he said. “This is really a psychological thriller. It’s almost like a coming-ofage story for this teenager, who’s just going about it the wrong way.” The movie finds Aitken living in Florida, writing a book and giving the occasional lecture about his career, when he’s contacted by Washington County Sheriff Bob Fassernacht (Brooklyn Center actor John Kunik), who’s on the heels of a serial killer. Aitken comes out of retirement only to be kidnapped by the killer himself, played by 18-year-old Minnesota actor Joey Pollari. “Serial killers are typically abused as children or have some traumatic event happen to them,” Angieri said, adding that he researched the topic. “That’s not the case with this particular person. He’s just finding a way to make his mark. Obviously, he’s a little disturbed in some ways. “But the majority of the film is really between myself and the young man, and I’m trying to convince him to stop what he’s doing while he’s trying to get me to profile him. He kidnaps me early in the film, and I’m held in captivity for 12 days before Christmas.” Viewers may recognize

some of the settings, which include locales in Hastings, Minneapolis, Cottage Grove and Stillwater. One scene was shot on Harriet Island in St. Paul. Filming was in December 2009, April 2010 and during the winter of 2011, said Angieri, who has but one film credit — a short feature — on his resume. “I looked at the competition (for the part) and there were a lot of actors working at the Guthrie, a lot of actors doing other film stuff,” he said. “I’m a Burnsville actor Gabriele Angieri in a publicity still from the indie movie “Profile of a neophyte.” Growing up in New Killer.” Angieri plays a starring role as a retired FBI profiler kidnapped by a teenage York City, Angieri acted serial killer. in junior high and high school and earned a theater degree from Queens College.

How will we respond to the second Boston massacre? by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

We’ll come back, sadder but stronger. That’s what I’ve predicted in talking with young people about the second Boston massacre – the one that just happened. Acts of horror often have the reverse impact of what was intended by those who produced them. No one should defend any of these horrible acts, committed by cowards. They are terrible tragedies. But look what happened after the Boston Massacre in March 1770. According to Wikipedia: “British army soldiers killed five civilians and injured six others.” People throughout New England were infuriated. This

helped bring the colonies together, eventually resulting in our freedom from England. We found a Civil War with huge losses on both sides. But one result was the end of slavery. As President Abraham Lincoln told us at Gettysburg: “These dead have not died in vain.” Not quite 50 years ago, in September 1963, a Birmingham, Ala., church was bombed. Four innocent little girls died

and many were injured. Horrible. But this helped unify millions of Americans to support civil rights legislation. Again quoting Wikipedia: “The explosion at the African-American church which killed four girls, marked a turning point in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and contributed to support for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” American history is not just names and dates; it’s also about the successful struggle to expand opportunities and freedom. Sometimes it’s been difficult. Sometimes we’ve had to deal with tragedy. But we have moved ahead. The remarkable American poet Langston Hughes reminded us of the American spirit in “Mother to Son.” In it, the mother tells her son, and the reader that

she’s “still climbin” though her life has not been “no crystal stair.” Finally, there’s the wonderful Carl Sandburg book length poem, “The People Yes.” Written during the Depression, Sandburg points out: “The people yes. The people will live on. … In the darkness with a great bundle of grief the people march. In the night and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people march. ‘Where to, what next?’ ” Hughes and Sandburg are right about Americans. Life is not always “a crystal stair.” But we’ll keep marching on. Joe Nathan, formerly a public school teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change.

Letters Support green technologies To the editor: On Earth Day, Monday, April 22, you may have looked out the window at the blanket of snow thought: “If it’s cold enough to snow in late April, maybe we don’t have to worry so much about global warming.” Interestingly, meteorologists and climatologists seem to think there is more freakish weather happening as a result of climate change: more heat, more drought, more violent storms, more extended cold and snow. The greater amount of water vapor in the atmosphere seems to be associated with weather extremes. Not all the extra water is in vapor form. There are rapidly rising sea levels inundating islands in the Pacific and making them uninhabitable. The documentary “Chasing Ice,” available on television and the Internet, shows the relentless acceleration of glacier melt in Greenland, Iceland, North America, Asia and Antarctica. This acceleration, according to most scientists, is not a “natural” phenomenon, not “cyclical,” and it hasn’t happened before. It’s accompanied by a rise in carbon levels in the earth’s atmosphere, and an increase in the extinction of plant and animal species. Like apologists for the smoking industry before them, researchers funded by energy companies dependent on selling oil and coal, want us to believe these substances too can be harmless to our lives. Public health studies show otherwise. It’s time to join the president and the governor in working for the success of a growing industry around green technologies: solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. We’ve already waited too long; our children’s lives are already diminished. Now is the time for U.S. Rep. John Kline, Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, and

in this important work. I wonder how ethical it would be to pay no attention to the health needs of an individual at the risk of harming the rest of our population. The ironic part is the fact that many of the staunchest critics of proposals to make health care available to all, are already receiving health care courtesy of Medicare, Medicaid, the V.A. and other government agencies. I’m of firm belief that there’s nothing wrong with being a rugged individualist, so long as people walk their talk. RUTH CARLSON Eagan

First, it makes a huge presumption that our 4and 5-year-old kids have an attention span to have any where near that intensity of learning. Therefore, this is nothing more than “government care of our children” when mothers and fathers should be spending time with their kids teaching them what they want to teach them. Second, the recent ECM Editorial stated there must be accountability? How does that work? There is no accountability now for Head Start, which is a huge failure. So how is this going to be a success? And when have our school systems ever been accountable for their product? Take for example most schools are failing with an F to educate children of color. Where is the accountability for that? There is no such thing as holding our teachers union accountable for anything. Third, this sucks money from the taxpayers who need to be saving for the ridiculous costs of college that has grown 110 percent in 10 years because every part-time professor is paid six figures because they belong to the “elite” class of progressives. This plan is a waste of good taxpayer dollars and not sustainable. TERRY W. BRANHAM Lakeville

Walk the talk To the editor: On April 4, I had a letter printed in this paper. It was responded to in a manner I feel twisted the point. The writer compared health care with food, housing and transportation, saying that providing health care would mean we should provide all these things. He didn’t mention government programs that already give support for food (some funding for food banks for instance), housing (the G.I. Bill) and transportation (the interstate highway system). There is also an element of public safety in guarding public health. We have facilities like the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta that is involved

Don’t allow massive tax increases To the editor: As a taxpayer and small business owner, I’m watching Gov. Mark Dayton and some in the Legislature who are calling for massive tax increases. I’m concerned that these elected officials are calling for massive tax increases at a time when it appears our economy is finally turning around and could get on solid ground after years of instability. Over the past several years, small businesses and Minnesota families have dealt with decreased revenue, layoffs and reduced income. Those businesses and families did the difficult work of going through their budgets and figuring out what was essential and what could be cut. We made sure that every dollar was being spent wisely. If the governor and legislators in St. Paul move forward with this tax increase it will mean that businesses and families again face the difficult task of learning to do more with less. Join me in holding them accountable for our tax dollars and ask them to spend more wisely not irresponsibly. LIZ DIEDRICH Prior Lake Owner of a Burnsville business

Man’s heart and marriage’s meaning

All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person” (Mark 7:2021). Now read the Apostle Paul’s prognosis of the same: “Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:910). God’s good news is that the blood of Jesus covers defiled hearts and gives sinners eternal life. Remember 1) Jesus’ definition, 2) the Bible’s deeper diagnosis of the problem of sin marring every heart, and 3) the Bible’s larger picture of husband-wife relationships as a picture of Christ, the glorious bridegroom, and the church, his beautiful bride (Ephesians 5:32). Please believe that it is not unloving toward gays to want marriage laws upheld in their traditional form. Rather, maintaining God’s definition of marriage underscores the Bible’s very message of love to this needy world, thus seeking its highest good (1 Timothy 1:5). DAVID LIVINGSTON Bethlehem Baptist Church, South Campus Burnsville

Improve access to health care To the editor: I am not sure if letter writer Richard Iffert read the same letter I did written by Ruth Carlson. Screeds such as his will not change the facts. Our great nation lags the industrialized world when it comes to health care. When you hear that 50 million Americans have no way to access it, this should set you to thinking. We have some of the greatest minds in medical research yet a large portion of our population have no chance of benefiting. We have some of the greatest medical facilities in the world and yet again a huge portion of the population will never be able to access this care. Our infant mortality rates are dismal to say the least. We are 27th behind Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republics. One primary reason for this is pregnant women unable to get prenatal care. When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts he recognized the need for health care coverage for all and now the people of that state are faring better when it comes to their health. President Obama recognized the same need in our nation and went about getting it enacted. What is the difference besides party affiliation? I would also ask U.S. Rep. John Kline if he would give up his congressional or military health care benefits? I am quite certain the answer is no.

To the editor: While marriage is under focus these days, don’t forget Jesus’ definition: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh’” (Matthew 19:4-5). Human “hardness of heart,” he went on to say, is what leads to the confusion and breakdown in marriage (verse 8). Next, look at Jesus’ wider diagnosis of our “human heart problems”: “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immoral- DEBORAH L. ity, theft, murder, adultery, MATHIOWETZ coveting, wickedness. … Eagan

Rosemount pastor recovering after heart surgery The Rev. Paul Jarvis was released from intensive care Sunday by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rev. Paul Jarvis, pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount, was released from the intensive care unit on Sunday, April 21, at Fairview Southdale Hospital after he underwent a 7-hour emergency cardiac surgery Friday, April 12, due to discovery of an aortic dissection, according to posts on his CaringBridge website. His procedure included a coronary bypass and replacement of a valve and coronary artery, according to a post by friend Jane Loechler on the site. “We know how much Father Paul welcomes your support, prayers and positive thinking,” she wrote. “We’re also pretty confident that he’d want you to be joking at his expense based on his faith in the healing power of laughter.”

The medical staff reported that Jarvis’ condition and various responses were on course and within expectations after heart surgery of this magnitude, Loechler wrote on April 18. She said Jarvis is eating and is not much fond of his many new tube and wire appendages. Jarvis was already “heading in the right direction” Saturday and was talking with family members and eating gelatin and drinking Diet A&W Root Beer on Sunday. “We have been able to speak with him throughout the day and can assure you we see the twinkle in his eyes and hear the humor in his voice,” his sister, Kak Jarvis, wrote on Sunday, April 14. Loechler reported that Jarvis, who was undergoing a variety of therapies, said he was “pretty good” when nurses asked him about his

pain on Tuesday, April 23. “I can imagine as he gains strength he will get more and more into the details of what happened and, as he does with all of this knowledge and wisdom, I’m sure he will share,” she wrote. Jarvis started his calling at St. Joseph in July 2011. He was officially installed as 15th pastor of the church in January 2012. Jarvis’ diaconal ministry began at St. Joseph Church in Lino Lakes. His summer diaconate was at St. John Neumann Church, Eagan. His first assignment as a priest was as the associate pastor at Our Lady of Grace in Edina. He then served as vicar at the Basilica Cathedral of St. Mary in Minneapolis. His first pastorate was at Guardian Angels Church and School in Chaska. Jarvis attended seminary at the St. Paul Semi-

Public Safety Remains confirmed to be those of missing Burnsville man

Lorenzo Pacheco

The Hennepin County medical examiner has confirmed that skeletal remains found in Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve are those of a 61-year-old Burnsville man who sent missing a year ago. The man is Lorenzo Pa-

checo, aka Lorenzo Moreno-Pacheco and Lorenzo Pacheco Orozco. He lived in a mobile home park on the 14700 block of West Burnsville Parkway, near the wooded park reserve.

Alleged drunken driver had infant son in the car A woman arrested in Burnsville for alleged drunken driving also faces a child-endangerment charge for having her 4-month-old son in the car. A Dakota County District Court summons was filed April 18 for Christina Maria Thorne, 44, of Savage. The arrest occurred last Nov. 21. Thorne is charged with two counts of seconddegree driving while impaired and one count of child endangerment. Burnsville police got a report at 1:27 p.m. Nov. 21 that a woman with an infant got into a Chevrolet pickup truck after being seen staggering and walking into cars, the criminal complaint said. An officer followed Thorne, who wove within her lane and struck a curb. When the officer hit her squad lights, Thorne sped up and continued for two blocks before stopping for a red light, the complaint said. When the light turned green, she continued driving and eventually pulled over onto the curb. Her eyes were watery

and she smelled of alcohol, reported the officer, who asked Thorne how much sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drunk that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thorne stated not much, and then stated that she had been trying and only had a couple of drinks that day,â&#x20AC;? the complaint said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thorne admitted that her 4-monthold son was in a car seat in the back of the vehicle.â&#x20AC;? She was arrested after failing field sobriety tests and refusing to give a preliminary breath test. Thorne further refused breath testing after the arrest and asked if she could take a blood test. After the officer took her to a hospital for a blood draw, Thorne stalled before giving the test at 3:30 p.m., according to the complaint. The test was done within two hours of her arrest. It showed a blood-alcohol concentration of .22. The legal limit for driving is .08. Thorne was convicted of driving under the influence in 1999 and 2008 and for refusing a drivingwhile-intoxicated test in 2010, the complaint said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Gessner

Man faces felony sex charges A 23-year-old Detroit Lakes man admitted to police that he asked a 14-year-old girl to send nude photos and have sex with him even though he knew she was underage, according to a Dakota County criminal complaint. Andrew William Alich faces two felony charges for solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual conduct.

The medical examiner identified the remains using previous medical records and found no evidence of criminal activity that may have contributed to Pachecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Burnsville police announced Tuesday.

Burnsville police and other agencies conducted multiple searches of the park reserve before calling off the active search a month after Pacheco went missing. Police said at the time that the man suffered de-

mentia from a head injury and did not speak English. His remains were discovered on April 13 by a man walking his dog in the park. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Gessner

Thieves target two Lakeville beauty salons by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thieves broke into two Lakeville beauty salons, stealing equipment, products and computers last week. Jacquelyn LeMonnier, manager at Salon Onyx, said she arrived to work Saturday morning and found the door pried open and items missing. Among the stolen equipment from the Lakeville salon at Cedar Avenue and Dodd Boulevard was a computer, shears worth $200-$500 each, professional flat irons and hair products. As in most salons, the tools are the property of each stylist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are all items they purchased them-

selves,â&#x20AC;? LeMonnier said. The salonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer included the salonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment calendar for the year, but it did not have any client credit card information on it, LeMonnier said. Information about clients stored on the computer was limited to past and future appointment dates, color formulas, products purchased, discounts they may qualify for and if they are members of the salonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loyalty program. LeMonnier said stylists continued providing service by sharing equipment. Salon owner Amy Sullivan immediately replaced the computer. The store is adding more security. Lakeville police Chief

Tom Vonhof said a similar break-in happened at A-Nu-U Salon, located at the mall at County Road 70 and I-35. He said that break-in was discovered Monday. Gwindle Aryeetey, owner of A-Nu-U Salon, said her business computer and $174 in cash was stolen. She also said there was no client credit card information on the computer, but the theft forced her to close the business for a day to install new locks, change business accounts and add security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cost me a lot,â&#x20AC;? Aryeetey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry it happened to me and to the other salon, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when you work hard for something and you put all you have

into what you do and someone takes it from you.â&#x20AC;? Vonhof said it was unusual to have two salons broken into at the same time, noting the thieves used the same method of entry at both locations. LeMonnier said they have remained open and operating, although it has been difficult to schedule appointments since they are not sure if they are booking appointments on top of each other. She is asking clients who had future appointments scheduled to call the salon to get them scheduled again with no conflicts. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Police: Drunken driver arrested after chase An Apple Valley man who police say was drunk when he fled a traffic stop earlier this month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first in his vehicle, then on foot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is now facing criminal charges in district court. Jonathon J. Bathen, 25, has been charged with fleeing police, a felony, as well as two misdemeanor counts of DWI. The criminal complaint gives the following account: Just before 3 a.m. April 14, an Apple Valley officer in his squad car observed a vehicle enter the County Road 42 and Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection against a red light. The officer began to follow the

Farmington police responded to a complaint Oct. 20, 2012, and spoke with the 14-year-old girl. She told police she was talking to Alich to see if a mutual acquaintance was still interested in dating her. The electronic conversation became sexual as Alich tried to coerce the girl to either have sex A Rosemount man or send a nude photo so he pleaded guilty on April 16 would help her. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Theresa Malloy to misdemeanor domestic assault charges of intentionally trying to inflict harm. Ronald Walker, 49, was

vehicle, which was seen swerving before striking the median on County Road 42. When the officer activated his emergency lights for a traffic stop, the vehicle accelerated, left the roadway near Flagstaff Avenue and 42, and drove down an embankment, damaging a retaining wall behind an office supply store in the process, the complaint said. The male driver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who police later identified as Bathen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; came to an abrupt stop in the alley behind the businesses on the 14600 block of Galaxie Avenue, then took off

running. Other officers responded to the area to set up a perimeter and a K-9 unit from the Eagan Police Department was brought in. Bathen was located and taken into custody when the police K-9 â&#x20AC;&#x153;alertedâ&#x20AC;? to some underbrush near one business. Arresting officers noted a strong odor of alcohol and that Bathen had watery eyes and was slurring his speech. A subsequent breath test indicated a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, more than twice the legal limit for driving. After being transported to the Apple Valley Police Department, Bathen was

examined by medics for injuries he had received from the police K-9, the complaint said. He denied being the driver of the vehicle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and declined to name who the driver was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though the Apple Valley officer who initiated the traffic stop reported there had been just one occupant inside. If convicted of the felony fleeing-police charge, Bathen faces up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Each count of DWI carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andrew Miller

Guilty plea in Rosemount domestic assault case arrested by Rosemount police on March 16 after police responded to a physical domestic assault call. Witnesses told police they heard a female screaming â&#x20AC;&#x153;stopâ&#x20AC;? and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;get off â&#x20AC;? from inside the residence, according to the criminal complaint. Walker told officers he had pushed the adult female victim and a minor male victim. He denied chok-

ing the female victim, and felony domestic assault by strangulation charges were dropped on April 16. Walker was sentenced to 60 days in jail. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Theresa Malloy

Hearing Loss Often Overlooked, Easy to Detect Chicago, IL – Hearing loss affects 31 million Americans. Still, only 20% of those who need a hearing aid own one. Hearing loss is a condition that, in most cases, develops gradually– many people do not realize they are affected. Fortunately, modern hearing care has become more aware of the symptoms of hearing loss. This increased awareness has helped millions hear better and enjoy more life Undetected But Significant Hearing is one of the basic ways we communicate and interact with each other and the environment: Undetected hearing loss can have serious consequences. Children with undetected hearing problems are sometimes misidentified as being mentally challenged or as having learning disabilities. Because speech is normally acquired through repeating what is heard, such children are at an early disadvantage. Their education and development may be stunted by the lack of proper treatment. According to a survey by the National Coun-

cil on the Aging (NCOA), older people with undetected hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, paranoia, emotional problems, and reduced social activity. The survey concluded that seniors who treat their hearing loss have better relationships with their families, improved mental health, greater independence, and stronger feelings of security. Seniors who lose their hearing may experience these common scenarios before discovering their loss. Warning Signs Although hearing loss is a very personal condition, the symptoms of hearing loss are fairly consistent. Hearing Care Practitioners generally ask a series of questions to identify whether a person has experienced hearing loss. Beltone™, a leading manufacturer of hearing aids, lists the following “10 Warning Signs of Hearing Loss” in their The Gift of Hearing brochure: 1. People seem to mumble more frequently

2. You hear, but have trouble understanding all the words in conversation 3. You often ask people to repeat themselves 4. You find telephone conversation increasingly difficult 5. Your family or friends complain that you play the TV or radio too loudly 6. You no longer hear normal household sounds, such as the dripping of a faucet or the ringing of a doorbell 7. You have trouble hearing when your back is turned to the speaker. 8. You have been told that you speak too loudly 9. You experience ringing in your ears. 10. You have difficulty understanding conversation when in a large group or crowd If a person experiences these warning signs repeatedly or in combination, it may indicate a hearing loss. The Only Way to Know For Sure Hearing loss itself can be misunderstood.

A major brand hearing aid provider has a special one time offer: a three-week trial on a remarkable new hearing instrument in your area.

This offer is free of charge and you are under no obligation.

Wax buildup in the ear canal is a common occurrence that adversely affects hearing. Often people assume they have a permanent loss when, in fact, they don’t. A hearing screening and video otoscope inspection (a simple procedure in which a picture of a person’s ear canal is taken) provide an accurate evaluation of what you’re hearing and what you’re not. According to one Beltone Hearing Care Practitioner, “When I give someone an otoscope inspection, I often find that simple wax buildup is contributing to their hearing problem.” Testing Is Available to Anyone Beltone offers hearing screenings at all of their 1600 Hearing Care Centers throughout the nation.

Local soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters bring Civil War home by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Benjamin Pool of Eureka Township was 22 when he died, killed by friendly fire in the Civil War. His relatives can find no grave by which to honor him, his tale possibly forgotten if not for the letters. Discovered at the Dakota County Historical Society by descendent Kathy Neutz of Lakeville, Benjaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story told through the letters has been recovered, remembered and is now part of a new three-pane Lakeville Area Historical Society window display that focuses on Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the Civil War. Like many at that time, Benjamin likely thought the war would be over within months, but instead the bloody battles, often pitting family members against each other, stretched from 1861-65. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the boys were enlisting,â&#x20AC;? Neutz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought it would be a wonderful adventure and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be home in about three months.â&#x20AC;? During the year he served, Benjaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters, rife with misspellings, show his expressions change from exuding singular pride and confidence in overcoming the enemy to a soldier enduring bone-chilling cold, illness, battles and loneliness. He discusses his faith, dispenses fatherly advice and pleas for his family to write back as soon as they can. While at Fort Ripley in January of 1862, Benjamin declared he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;born got be a solger, by thunder or die,â&#x20AC;? and dared any challengers, saying there was talk of â&#x20AC;&#x153;old Inglandâ&#x20AC;? coming over to â&#x20AC;&#x153;try us a rip.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well I say let her comeâ&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She will git to smell powder and then she

She is all oak.â&#x20AC;? Primarily written to his brother Jeremiah, Neutzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; great-great grandfather, Benjaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters tell of prisoners they captured being tried and sent to St. Paul; he asks for union news from home and expressed pride in hearing the Eureka boys were able to fend off Indian attacks. In one letter, Benjamin advised Jeremiah, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you go to the wars trust in the Lord and keep your Powder Dry.â&#x20AC;? In his last letter before his death, Benjamin said his camp was ordered to pack their wagons and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hold our Selves In Readinessâ&#x20AC;? to march at a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning. Neutz said Benjamin was killed in Mississippi by fellow soldiers when two regiments fired at each other, thinking they were on opposing sides, Sept. 20, 1862. A funeral was held in a little red schoolhouse in Lakeville, likely without the body, according to Neutz, who is also a sec-

retary with the Lakeville Area Historical Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the Civil War days, they often didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send home the bodies,â&#x20AC;? Neutz said. In addition to Benjaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters, the museumquality window display at the end of Heritage Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main hall includes a Civil War uniform, cooking utensils and pack bags loaned by Civil War reenactor Mike Kinzell. A large poster displayed details the Battle of Gettysburg, where Lakeville Area Historical Society member Lea Guenther said many Minnesotans fought. The window display was designed by Tolly Swan, Lakeville Area Historical Society past president, who also lent her selection of Civil War artifacts to the project. The window display will remain through May, and can be viewed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Heritage Center. The Lakeville Area Historical Society is free and open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Lightning lacrosse emphasizes esprit de corps Eastview defending conference, state titles by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the highlights of Eastview’s pre-season boys lacrosse preparation was the intra-program dodgeball tournament. That’s what happens when pre-season practice lasts longer than anyone anticipated. Teams were allowed to start practice April 1, but the Lightning’s season opener has been delayed several times by bad weather. Eastview was supposed to play Rosemount on Tuesday in a battle of highly ranked teams, but the game was postponed because snow covered the Burnsville High School field the day before. The game was moved to Burnsville, which has an artificial turf field, because the grass fields at Rosemount and Eastview were nowhere near ready for use. The Lightning’s season opener is now scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday at Bloomington Jefferson. With warmer temperatures in the forecast and Jefferson having an artificial turf field, it appears likely to happen. But when the weather hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Or, in Eastview’s case, play dodgeball. Each of seven captains has been assigned a mentorship group made up of players from throughout the program’s four teams, an idea coach Tim Roche said he borrowed from the Army. Those groups made up seven of the dodgeball tournament teams, and the coaches formed an eighth squad.

Mitch Beattie (14) is one of Eastview’s returnees as the Lightning defends its state boys lacrosse championship. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) One thing was apparent, Roche said: “The coaches took the longest time to recover.” Dodgeball was not just a time-killer as the Lightning waited for their season to start. It built esprit de corps, Roche said, and togetherness is one of the things Eastview emphasized on its journey to become one of the state’s elite high school lacrosse programs, capped by last year’s state championship. “We have a good group of players,” Roche said. “They’ve been in state tournaments, and not just in lacrosse. We have a lot of football players, and they played at the Metrodome last fall (in the state playoffs). We have the three hockey captains, and they went to the Xcel Cen-

ter for the state tournament. That kind of experience is one of our biggest strengths.” Jake Heppner, the 2012 Mr. Lacrosse Award winner, is one of the players who graduated from last year’s state championship team, which finished 16-1. But it’s possible the Mr. Lacrosse Award won’t leave Eastview. Lightning senior attackman Ryan McNamara is one of the state’s top returning players and is coming off a 51-goal, 83-point season. McNamara has signed to play college lacrosse at Marquette University. Much of Eastview’s offense will flow through McNamara, and defending against him figures to be a headache because he’s not just a shooter, as

evidenced by his 32 assists last season. “He does a great job of getting teammates involved,” Roche said. “If teams try to stop him, he knows it frees up his teammates. We saw that in the state championship game last year. Eden Prairie tried to take away Ryan in the first half, and we still had a big lead at halftime.” Senior attackman Tanner Hamill scored two goals in the Lightning’s 10-4 victory over Eden Prairie in the 2012 state final. Brett Schweiger, Mitch Beattie, Shane Keanealey and Michael Stillings each scored once in the championship game. Junior Ben Taschner and sophomore Jeremy LeClaire are competing for the starting goalie’s

Veteran defenders such as Connor Mills, Jake McGlocklin and Scotty Pugmire will help protect the goalies. The Lightning is No. 2 in the state rankings, with Eden Prairie at No. 1. South Suburban Conference schools Eagan (third), Prior Lake (fourth) and Rosemount (sixth) also are in the top 10. Eastview played Prior Lake in a scrimmage earlier this month in St. Paul.

If it had been an actual game, Prior Lake would have won, Roche said. It confirmed that Prior Lake is a legitimate threat in the SSC, and “it gave us an idea of what we needed to work on,” Roche said. “I think we’ve improved in those areas, and hopefully we’ll be ready when we see Prior Lake the last week of the regular season.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagles’ challenge is making another run at state Lacrosse team hoped to start season this week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Now comes the test for Apple Valley’s girls lacrosse team: keeping the program moving forward after a breakthrough season. The Eagles, who qualified for the state tournament for the first time in 2012 and finished third, will try to make another run at it without, among other things, the top four scorers from last season and the starting goalie. Coach Alexandra Ross said the team is eager to take on that challenge, provided the weather allows them to get on the field. After having the rug pulled out from under several projected season openers, the Eagles were to play their first game against Eagan on Monday at Burnsville High School, which has an artificial turf field. “Our girls have a lot of opportunities because there are so many open

spots,” Ross said. “They went to off-season clinics. Fourteen of our girls went to Eden Prairie for a (winter) league. And the schools in our conference, like (Bloomington) Jefferson, Kennedy and Burnsville, they’re doing the same things.” Ross, who coached the Eagles to a 14-5 record last season, said there’s still plenty of talent in the program, including a seventhgrader who’s already up with the varsity team. “We have some good players back from last year and we have some new players who are talented,” she said. “I think we’re capable of getting back to the state tournament.” Captains Katie Larson, Nicole Van Beek and Jordyn Haupert all were regulars on last year’s state tournament team. Van Beek, a midfielder last season, is being moved to attack. Larson will remain at midfield and Haupert will return at defense. The Eagles are hoping

Seniors Haupert and Aubree Mickelson have varsity experience on defense. Juniors Erin Kinney and Marissa Guillou are the goalkeepers. “I think they work hard and I like their attitude,”

nice to have the extra practice time, but you can’t do the same things as you can on a full field,” Ross said. “Once we do get outside, we’re probably going to play three or four times a week and we won’t have that much time to practice.” That’s where the Eagles’ experience in indoor leagues during the winter could prove useful. “They’ve seen some really good competition already,” Ross said. “Some of the best players in the state played in that Eden Prairie league during the winter. They got to play Eden Prairie, they’ve seen Blake and Prior Lake. That should really help.” The Eagles were scheduled to play at Lakeville North on Thursday and will be at Prior Lake at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

Ross said. “It looks like we’ll have some speed. We have some girls with a quick first step.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at The Eagles, for the mike.shaughnessy@ecmmost part, have been kept inc.com. indoors while waiting for the season to begin. “It’s

Notebook: Eagan’s Egwim a student with diverse talents Track team sprinter wins 2nd gold medal in speech by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan ranked first and second for most individual champions all-time, while Eastview was in the top 10. Other champions in the Class AA tournament included Ashesh Rambachan of Eastview (Extemporaneous Speaking), Stephanie Lenertz of Apple Valley (Great Speeches) and Georgia Schmitt of Apple Valley (Informative Speaking). As for Egwim’s other spring activity – track and field – coaches are hoping the weather will allow them to get that going by next week. The South Suburban Conference relays are 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Prior Lake High School. Section True Team meets are the following week, and the South Suburban championships begin May 21.

Running fast is far from the only thing Eagan High School junior Emerald Egwim does well. Egwim, who was All-State in the 200-meter dash at last year’s state Class AA girls track and field meet, last week won her second consecutive gold medal in the state high school speech tournament. She placed first in Serious Interpretation of Prose for Class AA. Last year she won in the Serious Interpretation of Drama category.

Irish girls lacrosse starts second year on its own by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount has an advantage over a lot of the metro area’s girls lacrosse teams with that large, white bubble on its campus. The Irish have been practicing almost daily at the Irish Sports Dome while waiting for winter to scram so they can play and practice outside. “We haven’t done a lot of full-field work because we’re usually sharing the dome with another team,” coach Jeff Smith said. “But we’ve only had to be in the gym once.” And practicing on turf – even the synthetic stuff in the dome – beats a wood floor or a parking lot. The start of the season was delayed yet again Tuesday when the Irish’s game against Eastview, which already had been moved to Burnsville High School’s synthetic turf field, couldn’t be played because there still was snow

on that field. A home game Thursday against Eagan was postponed because Rosemount’s field wasn’t ready. The opener now will be 7 p.m. April 30 at Lakeville North. Rosemount fielded its own girls lacrosse team for the first time in 2012. Previously, the Irish were part of a cooperative with Eagan High School. In their first year on their own, they went 9-6. One of the victories was against Eagan in a surreal game in which neither team could seem to prevent the other from scoring. Rosemount led 2524 when time expired. Smith still chuckles at the mention of that game, but adds that he doesn’t think it will be repeated this season. The Irish should have enough veterans back to keep another team’s offense from getting out of control. But keeping Maddie Johnson under control could be a problem for Rosemount’s opponents.

The senior captain was one of the most prolific scorers in the South Suburban Conference last season with 73 goals in 15 games. She was named to AllSouth Suburban Conference and All-State. Sydney Lubeley, a senior midfielder, was honorable mention all-conference and has signed to play at the University of Cincinnati. Johnson and Lubeley are captains this season. Also back is sophomore Shaniah Anderson, a 45goal scorer and honorable mention all-conference player in 2012. Senior Alexis Raeth and Charley Belden both saw playing time in goal last season. Sydney Narloch, a junior, leads a group of young defenders. Most of the team is young, for that matter. Of the Irish’s top 22 players, only four are seniors. But a half-dozen players are in their third year on varsity.

Eagan coaching changes Eagan High School has named Andrew Michelson coach of its girls swimming team, replacing longtime coach Steve Van Dyne, who stepped down after the 2012 season. Michelson, a School District 196 teacher, also coaches the Burnsville High School boys swimming team. Tom Younghans apparently will not be back as Eagan’s girls hockey coach. The school lists the girls hockey coaching position as “TBD” on its page on the Minnesota State High School League website. The Wildcats won the consolation championship in the state Class AA tournament in Younghans’ only season as head coach. Email Mike Shaughnessy mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

from McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instead of Taco Bell. Investigators found this text message was sent from Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone at 9:29 a.m. Investigators also found a text message sent from Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone to Roger Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone that morning at 9:31 a.m., saying that she was uncomfortable and was moving downstairs from her bedroom upstairs. Investigators found a text message indicating that Roger Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone had responded to this message at 9:33 a.m. However, video surveillance at the building showed that Roger Holland did not leave the townhome complex until 9:34 a.m. that morning. Investigators also found a data entry which may have been related to an Internet search on Roger Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone on March 6 which stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you pass out and fall down a flight of stairs, can you break your neckcan (sic) your neck be broken if you are.â&#x20AC;? Several other similar data entries concerning whether someone can break their neck falling down the stairs or in other ways were found on Roger Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laptop computer. These data entries related to Google searches that occurred sometime prior to Feb. 28. Roger and Margorie Holland had been married for approximately a year and a half and had been dating for some time before their marriage. Both were members of the Texas National Guard. They had moved into their Apple Valley residence in December 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These charges reflect allegations that this was a premeditated and intentional domestic-related homicide that tragically claimed the life of Margorie Holland and her unborn child,â&#x20AC;? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our deep sympathy is extended to the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends.â&#x20AC;? Backstrom thanked the Apple Valley Police Department, the Dakota County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who assisted in the investigation of this case. Roger Holland is expected to make his first appearance on the charges returned in the indictment within the next several days. He currently remains in custody in the Dakota County Jail, having failed to post the bail previously set in connection with this case.

tom of a staircase inside their townhome upon his return to the residence after purchasing breakfast for them. He claims he rolled his wife over before calling 911 and began CPR after this call was made. Holland allegedly called 911 at approximately 9:55 a.m. March 7 to report that his wife was lying at the bottom of a flight of stairs and was not breathing. Upon arrival of medical personnel, Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was cool to the touch, and she was not breathing and had no heartbeat. Resuscitation efforts were attempted and she was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital where she and her unborn child were officially declared dead. She was approximately 15 weeks pregnant. Apple Valley police officers who responded to the call at about 10 a.m. observed visible scratches on the left side of Roger Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and neck. Roger Holland later told police that his wife had accidentally scratched him while he was massaging her stomach on the morning of March 7. Investigators later found at the time of his arrest that Roger Holland also had fresh scratches on his forearms and upper arms and a fresh cut on a toe on his left foot. Roger Holland told police that his relationship with his wife was good and that they did not have any financial problems. A search of the Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphones found a large number of text messages, which contained numerous arguments between the couple in the weeks prior to March 7 and some texts that referenced concerns about their financial problems. On March 6, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Margorie Holland told her husband that she intended to divorce him, and in a text sent 10 minutes earlier she told him that she intended to report him to authorities â&#x20AC;&#x153;first thing in the morningâ&#x20AC;? for stealing her credit cards. The investigation revealed that Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone accessed Facebook from 7 to 7:13 a.m. March 7; however, attempts by her brother to call her on her cellphone at 8:29 a.m. and to text her at 9:02 a.m. that morning went unanswered. Roger Holland claimed he received a text message from his wife after he left the home that morning request- Email Tad Johnson at ing that he get breakfast tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

Dariane Van Waes received the honors of Best Talent, Best Speech, Most Promising Model and Most Photogenic. (Photo submitted) VAN WAES, from 1A own and works part-time at UPS and the Hilton in Eagan, interns at the Inver Hills theater program and models with two local agencies. Despite the full schedule, Van Waes decided to jump back into pageantry upon being approached by a local pageant coach. Van Waes trained for three months, and her hard work paid off. In addition to being crowned Miss Teen, Van Waes received the honors of Best Talent, Best Speech, Most Promising Model and Most Photogenic. Though she took numerous titles, Van Waes said she goes into to each pageant to learn, meet new people and build character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being yourself is most important,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that you can do anything as long as you keep a positive attitude and are devoted to it.â&#x20AC;? Over the years, Van Waes has performed particularly well in the interview portion of pageants, which has come in handy in daily life. As she prepares for the national competition in November, Van Waes focuses on obtaining sponsors and marketing herself. Van Waes must raise $250 to compete and pay travel expenses. Those interested in becoming a sponsor can email darianevanwaes25@gmail. com. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

NIKKO IS A SNUGGLER! Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Nikko! I came to Last Hope after being found outside on the coldest day of January. Emaciated and frostbitten on the pads of my paws when a loving soul found me and brought me in. I surely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made it another week. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in my foster home for 3 months and have been very sad as there has not been a family that wants me yet. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 7-8 months old and still a kitten. I need a home without other cats but dogs are fine. I am a ton of fun!!! I love, love, love to play. I have lots of personality and will keep you in stitches every minute. I will bring a smile to your face. The other really awesome part about me is that I LOVE to lap sit and snuggle. I like it so much I can get a bit irritable when you move me from my favorite place on your lap. I am pretty quiet and not an annoying talker. I am well tested in my foster home and have proven myself very litter box and scratching post reliable. Since I have been with Last Hope a while and they need the room for all the kittens coming in, they have made me an absolute bargain at $60 to get me a home fast. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an absolute steal for hours of fun and entertainment and a snuggle buddy for watching TV and cuddling in bed! Please contact my foster Mom Kathryn at kaylupp@gmail.com, cell # 952-913-9295.

Thisweekend Young artists put their best work forward

Showdown on stage

Area Student Art Show is May 2 in Rosemount If you want to see it all, you may have to hustle. Three local schools are pooling their collective artistic talents for an exhibit in Rosemount next week that will showcase a whole lot of artwork in just a four-hour window. Featuring work by students at Dakota County Technical College, Rosemount High School and the Dakota County Area Learning School, the show runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at Rosemount’s Steeple Center. About 50 students in all will be presenting work ranging from animated digital art to paintings, sculpture and pottery. It’s an end-of-the-year capstone event for the students, many of whom will be presenting their portfolios of work they’ve created over the course of the school year. Not all of it is what you’d expect to find in a gallery. Trina Walters’ students at the Dakota County Area Learning School, where she is a graphic communications instructor, have been mastering the Adobe Creative Suite programs – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign – to create calendars, packaging for products, logo designs and other practical items. “One of our goals is to just market art and show how it can be used in ca-

Show times are 7 p.m. Friday, April 26, and 1 p.m. Saturday, April 27. Tickets will be available at the door and are $6 for adults, $5 for children.

This isn’t just an elective – these are career skill sets,” said Walters, a member of the Rosemount Area Arts Council, which is sponsoring the event. While the skills of the art students will be evident by the work adorning

the Steeple Center’s walls, career skills of a different sort will be adduced by area students studying food industry – they’re preparing the hors d’oeuvres, which are complimentary. Admission is free. —Andrew Miller
