FBI releases images based on human remains Man’s body was found in September 2014 in a Rosemount railroad shed by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The FBI released three images this week that it hopes will lead to information in identifying a man’s body that was found Sept. 29, 2014, in Rosemount. Since that time, law enforcement has investigated several leads in the case, but without success, and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office has completed a forensic analysis, including dental charting and DNA. A facial reconstruction was done using information from the

man’s biological profile database.

Big box opens in south metro At Home calls itself ‘home decor superstore’ by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Brenda Fox would rather work on the retail floor than in her cubbyhole of an office. She covers the territory briskly, often pulling a shopping cart. With 107,000 square feet to manage, it pays to move along. “They say for an average customer, it will take you two hours to walk through our building,� Fox said. “That’s a lot of time. But it’s fun.� Fox is director of the At Home store in Burnsville, the south metro’s newest big-box retailer. Billed as the “home decor superstore� — stocked with more than 50,000 items for every room in the house — it opened Feb. 4 in the old Kmart building at 14230 Burnhaven Drive, south of County Road 42 and west of Burnsville Center. Burnsville is the first Minnesota location for the Plano, Texas-based At Home chain. In June it will open a store in Blaine. Founded as Garden Ridge in 1979, the growing company rebranded its stores to At Home in 2014. It now has more than 100 locations in 28 states and filed in September to become publicly traded. “The company has been having some great success over the last four years as they’ve been revamping,� said Fox, a retail veteran who’s worked for other big-name stores. “It’s just fun to be in on the ground floor� in Minnesota. The store occupies a 12.7-acre

Franks created a snowman from a huge slab of ice outside the Apple Valley Community Center in Hayes Park. Among the tools he used were a chainsaw, a blow torch, a die grinder and, for the finishing touches, a clothes iron. At right: The 2016 Mid-Winter Fest logo — designed by Lex Boeltl, a 12th-grader at Farmington High School — was embedded at the base of the ice carving.

Family business marks 50 years in Apple Valley Son of original Dick’s Valley Service owners now heads company by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dick’s Valley Service has been a family affair from the beginning. The first incarnation of the towing and auto repair business, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in Apple Valley, was a Mobil gas station at the corner of County Road 42 and Garden View Drive with one truck and a garage with two vehicle bays. Jeff Tuthill, who now runs Dick’s Valley Service with his wife, Lori, has been involved with the business opened by his parents, Dick and Marilynn, since he was a boy. “I remember growing up, our kitchen table was their office, and we had a CB radio in the kitchen

so they could dispatch the trucks from our house at night,� he said. “My mom and dad really put a lot of time into this. They ran it day in and day out — they actually opened the business on their first wedding anniversary� in the mid-1960s in what was then Lebanon Township. Tuthill has worked at the family business since his youth, starting with small tasks like sweeping and pumping gas, then taking on tow-truck driving at age 16. He started working there full-time after graduating from Apple Valley High School in 1989. Dick’s Valley Service has seen continual growth over the years, he said. In 1994, the business moved

CR 42 bridge this summer’s big project in Burnsville Lanes will close in each direction by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This summer’s marquee regional road project in Burnsville will be rehabilitation of the County Road 42 bridge over Interstate 35W and extension of its eastbound turn lane. The project will extend the 27-year-old bridge’s life and reduce traffic backups along a stretch of road that carries 50,000 vehicle trips per day, Dakota County officials say. But there will be headaches. The county plans to close the bridge in one direction for three

weeks at a time, leaving the lanes in the other direction open. “A number of the local roads would be impacted, would obviously see more traffic,� Joe Litman, a consulting engineer on the project, told the Burnsville City Council at a Feb. 9 work session. Detours will add traffic to parts of Burnhaven Drive, Aldrich Avenue South, Nicollet Avenue, Buck Hill Road, Southcross Drive and 150th Street West, according to the county. The county hasn’t decided when this summer to do the project. Officials will first meet with affected businesses, including Burnsville Center, and the

Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, Litman said. Burnsville police and fire will also be consulted, along with Fairview Ridges Hospital and the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce. Newsletters and Web updates are planned. “I’m really pleased to hear that you’re going to do a really good communications campaign,� Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. Plans call for new concrete mill and overlay on the bridge, which Litman said is essential to preserving a deck deteriorated by 27 years of de-icing salts. Expansion joints will be replaced at each end of the bridge, which is owned by the

Minnesota Department of Transportation. All four of its traffic signals will be replaced. Extending the eastbound left turn lane onto I-35W will reduce backups and improve capacity at the freeway ramp, Buck Hill Road and Aldrich Avenue. It will improve traffic flow in the Burnsville Center area, Burnsville Public Works Director Steve Albrecht said. Signal timing adjustments and other refinements will improve flow on detour routes, according to the county. Emergency vehicles will use McAndrews Road. The county chose six weeks of directional closures over four weeks of full bridge closure or

Second Act Players recruiting members Theater group for those 50 and older looks to expand offerings by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Research shows that the more older adults are engaged in creative activities, it can delay some of the negative effects of aging. The Rosemount Area Arts Council used that body of research to help it earn a Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant to launch the Second Act Players senior theater group for those 50 and older. RAAC has started a series of four workshops to help lay the foundation of the group and will have its second general interest meeting for the Second Act Players at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, at the cityowned Steeple Center. “I think because of the aging of society, groups like this are very important,� said John Loch, RAAC member and interim chairman of the Second Act Players. “They say that a 60- or 70-year-old is not like that in previous generations. We are living healthier and we want to be involved.� He said as RAAC member Jeanne Schwartz was compiling research for the grant, she found that theater groups and other arts activities help people lower their blood pressure,

improve their memory and deal with depression issues. “It can give people that purpose,� Loch said, “a reason to get up in the morning.� While there are many groups for seniors in Dakota County, Loch said their research couldn’t find any other senior theater group in the area. He said it was RAAC’s intention to offer something unique. He feels they have tapped into something good with the group since the first general interest meeting in September 2015 drew 25 people and contact from 15 other who said they were interested but couldn’t attend the meeting. “We think there are a lot of people out there who were in high school drama and they remember that was kind of fun,� Loch said. “We are aiming at those people.� During the Feb. 19 general interest meeting, Loch said RAAC will explain some of the research and how it plans to build the Second Act Players through possible special interest groups. He said one way to build potential cast members is to host a recurring meeting when people will gradually progress from

script reading, to character development, to action and dialogue presentations and finally to memorizing lines for a rehearsal. “It can start out like a knitting group and go from there,� he said. While he admits that acting is not for everyone, RAAC has identified 20 different areas in which people can be involved in Second Act, which includes set design, costume design, technical production, script writing and more. While Loch is currently conducting a set design workshop, the group will have three more workshop sets starting soon and are working on an additional slate of classes, field trips and visits to other play productions. Loch’s design workshop is helping to construct some props for “Mousetrap,� which will be performed March 4-6 and 11-13, by RAAC’s all-ages theater group – the Front Porch Players. “These are 101 kinds of introduction classes,� Loch said. “Maybe next year we can move it up to 102s.� The target is to put together the first Second Act production this fall. The council recently set Second Act Players

annual dues for membership at $25 for individuals and $35 for couples. These memberships are separate from RAAC memberships. Second Act membership allows people to earn a discount on upcoming theater workshops, which cost $25 for nonmembers and $5 for members. The classes at the Steeple Center include: • Script Reading and Analysis by Keith Reed and Charlotte Kodner: 2-3:30 p.m. Feb. 22 and 29, and March 7.  • Stage Management and Props by Steve Peterson: 2-3:30 p.m. Feb. 25 and March 3. • Introduction to Stage Movement and Dance by Charlotte Kodner: 2-3:30 p.m. March 21 and 28.

lane reductions. Full closure would divert twice as much traffic to detour routes, while lane reductions would cause backups of up to three-fourths of a mile on County Road 42 and up to a half mile on I-35W, according to the county. A month of intermittent single-lane closures for signal installation and other bridge work will follow the directional closures, according to the county. MnDOT and the city of Burnsville are partners on the project. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Former insurance agent charged with embezzling A former Burnsville insurance agent is charged with two felonies for allegedly embezzling funds from an elderly Apple Valley client. Paul Edward Kottke provided the woman annual statements from 1995 to 2013 that he signed showing increasing value of the victim’s investment, according to a Feb. 2 Dakota County criminal complaint. The victim allegedly opened the account with a $10,000 deposit in 1995, and paid Kottke, 70, now of Omaha, Neb., another $1,000 in 2004. Prosecutors allege the final statement in 2013 showed the account had a value of $22,196, but when the family called and wrote Kottke that year requesting the certificate of deposit be cashed to pay the victim’s assisted living expenses, he did respond

not until March 2014. Then, he allegedly told them there would be a penalty for early withdrawal. Kottke allegedly promised to send the money if they could wait until after March 10, 2014, but it was never sent and no statement was received for 2014. The complaint said Kottke told the family the money was in a certificate of deposit with Prudential, but a special agent with Minnesota Department of Commerce Fraud Bureau contacted Prudential and was told the account number was in an incorrect format and they had no record of an investment made by the victim or her family. The victim has since died. Kottke is charged with insurance fraud and theft by swindle. —Laura Adelmann

Opinion Art amazes, entertains and can do more than that by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Amusing, entertaining, inspiring – a recent trip to Florida reminded me that art can be all that, and so much more. I had a chance to experience some of the most creative, amazing pictures and sculptures I’ve seen anywhere in the world at the Baker Museum in Naples. A few days later I spent two hours watching a stirring musical production, “Motown the Musical.” As schools and districts set their budgets and plans for next year, I hope they’ll remember the enormous value of the arts – not as a frill, but as a vital, central part of education. I’d love to hear from you, column readers, both youths and adults, about how art and music – including what you learned in school – have affected your life. Fortunately, it rained the first few days my wife and I were in Florida – so we looked for things to do indoors. One of the recommended rainy day activities was visiting the Baker Museum, online at http://bit.ly/1isFHJe. Its exhibits are incredible. Among other things the museum features several pieces by Dale Chihuly, who is a master with glass. The ceiling of one hallway is made up entirely of about 600 pieces of colorful glass. It’s stirring and stunning, almost overwhelming in the profusion of color. What a happy hallway! Its ceiling is unlike anything I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world. The museum also features two large, multistory Chihuly glass sculptures. Fortunately, photographer and videographer Harry Forsdick has created a brief YouTube video that includes the ceiling and

Joe Nathan the two multi-story glass sculptures. Go to http://bit.ly/1X2VfC3 to watch the video. There’s so much more at the Baker showing vast creativity. Some of the art pieces are just fun – like the sculpture “Snufflegator” by Lothar Nickel. Before visiting the Baker, I had never heard of the Spanish painter Paco Pomet. The museum describes his art as “original, quirky and always created with an underlying wit.” That’s for sure. I’m not sure how to interpret his paintings. But they feature incredible contrasts in the way we express ourselves. One painting depicts a group of armed men holding rifles. In the center of the group is one of the characters from “Sesame Street.” Another portrays a space ship on a desolate planet, with youths and ordinary people in helmets. A third is a scene from a western town with four men walking down the street. In the center, holding hands with two of the men, is a pink cartoonish character. To learn more about the artist and see these pieces of art, visit http://bit.ly/1PRgZQh. The Baker’s exhibits included an exhibit of two noted clothing designers, Yves Saint Laurent and Roy Halston Frowick, aka Halston, (see their fashions at http://bit.ly/1GjZwxo). Dozens of the dresses that they created were displayed, along with a discussion of their careers. And in May, the Baker will feature ap-

proximately 600 works – in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and photography – by students in prekindergarten through 12th grade. A few days later, next door to the museum, in Hayes Hall, my wife and I rocked, laughed and sang with more than 1,000 others as we watched “Motown the Musical.” This features about 50 of the most popular songs produced by AfricanAmerican artists, coordinated by the remarkable founder of Motown, Barry Gordy. They include, for example: “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “My Girl,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “Dancing in the Street.” The dancing, singing and acting produced a lengthy, well-deserved standing ovation at the end.

Increased funding needed for students’ mental health support by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

School districts in Minnesota are continuing to hire outside professionals to help the growing number of elementary and high school students with mental health problems. Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius says she is hearing from school districts that are confronted by students who come to school troubled and experiencing serious mental problems. Those students need help so they can learn. Experts say earlier diagnosis and access to professional services are essential and the schools are the best place to deal with them. Sue Abderholden, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said that in 2007 the Minnesota Legislature funded School Links through the Minnesota Human Services Department that grants funds to school districts to pay the expenses of servicing students with mental health problems. When the program started, half of those served had never been helped and half of them had serious problems. In 2013, she said, the Legislature increased the funding by 100 percent. Dur-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman ing the year 2014-2015, the funds helped pay for services including costs parents could not afford for 12,289 students in Minnesota, she said. During the past legislative session, $10 million was appropriated to help schools provide school-based mental health services. Glenace Edwall, director of the state Human Services Department’s mental health services, said recently that $22.3 million more is needed. The Anoka-Hennepin School District, one of the state’s largest with 38,000 students, has 600-800 students who are being treated for mental health problems, according to Dr. Nita Kumar, mental health consultant in the district. Asked why more students are coming to school with mental health issues. Kumar said there is no one cause. She cited earlier and better identification of disorders, more stressors at home and at school, chemical health problems and

conflicts in the family, such as stemming from a loss of a job. Dawn Willson, the health services director of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, said stressors caused by the impact of the recession and the slow recovery have caused disruption in families. Families still are not feeling secure from the financial crisis, she said. “Students hear about shootings and are bombarded by stresses in the world, and they are not as secure as they were 10 years ago. This puts a heavy burden on the schools,” she said. Most school districts are countering the problem by contracting for outside mental health therapists provided by such organizations such as Headway Emotional Health Services used by Burnsville and Anoka-Hennepin. The Little Falls school district also is seeing more students with mental health problems, and it contracts for special help with the Northern Pines service. Kumar said that in the Anoka-Hennepin district, there are 31 full-time mental health therapists assisting students, in addition to their counselors, social workers and psychologists. She said students’ attitudes, mental health and grades are improving. Parents also are seeing positive changes.

Patrick Dale, CEO of Richfield-based Headway Emotional Health Services, said research shows that students who get outside help are doing better academically, are improving their social connections, have fewer behavior problems, have positive coping skills and are less angry. He said that their mental health model goes beyond lack of stable home life. He said it’s important for students to go to the library or to a day camp and get to know the children in their neighborhood. In addition to providing therapists, private organizations are organizing mental health clinics where students can go for treatment. Willson sums up schools’ challenge: “We are in a position to make an impact on these students with mental health problems. If we are not meeting the emotional needs of these kids, they won’t be able to learn. We have to take care of their basic needs.” I commend the Minnesota Legislature for funding this program so vital to the mental health of many students in the state.

debt-free colleges (meaning free college for everyone paid by the taxpayers?), single-handedly ending climate change and “creating a truly fair and accepting America” – whatever that means. Commins then ends his petulant screed with a listing of endorsements by the usual suspects and

For five Wednesdays in Lent, the church will hold a supper for people of all ages, beginning at 6 p.m., with devotions beginning at 6:30 p.m. These Lenten programs are scheduled for Feb. 17 and 24 and March 2, 9 and 16.

However, the after-school program will be offered as usual on those days, beginning at 4:30 p.m., and children are encouraged to participate in the supper and devotions with their parents. A different church group will host each of the suppers. On Palm Sunday, March 20, at the 10 a.m. service the congregation will celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. On Maundy Thursday, March 23, the church will present a Seder supper. This meal will recreate the Last Supper (a Passover meal) that Jesus ate with his disciples prior to his death.

memorate Jesus’ resurrection, there will be special music from the Adult Choir and the Handbell Choir, led by Kyle and Kate Frost, the church’s music director and accompanist.

Rosemount woman sentenced for her role in two murders Ashley Marie Conrade, 26, of Rosemount, was sentenced on Tuesday to 15 years in prison in connection with the 2013 stabbing death of Anarae Schunk, 20, of Burnsville, and a concurrent one-year sentence in connection with the shooting death of Palagor Jobi, 23, of Savage. Conrade pleaded guilty on Feb. 6, 2015, to two felony counts of aiding an offender after the fact – one each for the cases against Shavelle Oscar Chavez-Nelson, 33. Chavez-Nelson pleaded guilty on Jan. 15 to second-degree unintentional murder in the Schunk case and was sentenced to 17 years, which he is serving concurrent with a life sentence after being convicted of first-degree premeditated murder in the Jobi case. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said Conrade cooperated in additional investigation into Schunk’s death and agreed to testify in Chavez-Nelson’s trial,

which resulted in his January guilty plea. Chavez-Nelson and Conrade were both indicted in July 2014 with first- and second-degree murder. Backstrom said in January that with no witnesses except those involved in the crime, proving firstand second-degree intentional murder would have been difficult. Conrade did give information that prosecutors think would have aided their case against ChavezNelson, Backstrom said. “Whether she’d have said the same thing under oath, who knows,� he said. “We may never know the full extent of her involvement and all of the details of how this terrible crime actually occurred,� Backstrom said. Schunk was killed on or about Sept. 22, 2013, at a home in Rosemount. Chavez-Nelson, his then girlfriend Conrade and Schunk were at Nina’s Bar & Grill in the early hours of Sept. 22. Schunk

had previously ended her relationship with ChavezNelson but agreed to meet him in Burnsville on Sept. 21 to try to recover $5,000 she had loaned him. Just before closing time, Chavez-Nelson murdered Jobi in an altercation after Jobi talked to Conrade. The trio then went to Conrade’s townhome in Rosemount. Schunk’s family reported her missing on Sept. 23. Seven days later her body was found in a rural Rice County ditch. An autopsy revealed 22 stab wounds and other cuts and wounds described as “defensive.� “Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Anarae Schunk and Palagor Jobi for their great loss,� Backstrom said in a press release. “This sentence brings a close to the criminal cases.� Backstrom praised Assistant County Attorney Kathy Keena, who prosecuted this case. — Tad Johnson, John Gessner

Charges filed against driver in crash that killed Lakeville man A 24-year-old Richfield woman said she was having suicidal thoughts when her SUV crashed into a Bloomington Public Works vehicle, killing a 38-year-old city employee. The woman now faces three felony charges in connection with the Jan. 28 incident. Marie Jessica Hall was charged Feb. 3 in Hennepin County District Court with third-degree murder, criminal vehicular homicide and criminal vehicular operation. Hall is accused of hitting a city truck at a high rate of speed, after consuming vodka, and killing Tyler Lenort, of Lakeville, a 15-year Bloomington employee. The complaint details the moments that preceded the crash, which injured Hall and public works employee Daryl Bittmann. According to the complaint, Hall had entered her former place of employment – a

liquor store – grabbed two bottles of vodka from behind the counter and threw money into the air on her way out of the store. She said during an interview following the crash that she had been distraught over events in her life and consumed approximately five shots of vodka in the parking lot of the store before driving off. She drove along American Boulevard, estimating she reached 100 mph. Witnesses reported that Hall’s SUV ran red lights at a high rate of speed as she approached a Ford F-350 pickup truck parked on American Boulevard, in which Lenort and Bittmann were seated at the time of the crash. The city employees were removing snow from sidewalks along American Boulevard at approximately 10:20 a.m., and their vehicle was parked on the street near the intersection of American Boulevard East and Fifth Avenue.

Lenort had climbed into the passenger’s seat of the truck, which Bittmann was driving, seconds before the crash, according to the complaint. Hall’s SUV hit the 8,400-pound truck and spun it 180 degrees. The on-board computer of her SUV said she was traveling more than 80 mph prior to the moment of impact, the complaint noted. The crash set the SUV on fire, and Hall was trapped inside. Police officers helped Hall escape her vehicle. During an interview while Hall was hospitalized she said that she read in the Bible that “you must die by the flesh to get to heaven,â€? and that her driving was a way to “end all,â€? the complaint noted. Lenort died from his injures Jan. 31. Both Bittmann and Hall were hospitalized when the complaint was filed. —Mike Hanks

nance structure to make the council accountable to voters and improve future regional planning, growth and economic development. “The Metropolitan Council’s authority and involvement in regional issues have expanded greatly since its founding in 1967, but today’s council has no accountability to the regional residents and taxpayers,� said Scott County Board Member Mike Beard. “Instead the council operates as a state agency, and is answerable solely to the governor. Reform of the Metropolitan Council’s governance structure would better serve the entire region while increasing account-

ability and collaboration.� The coalition says it supports strong regional governance, but for it to be effective, citizens must feel that the body effectively represents their goals and values. The coalition reports that every major regional planning organization in the United States has a majority of locally elected members, while members of the Metropolitan Council are non-elected individuals answerable only to the governor, an office that has often been elected without majority support from metropolitan-area voters. This non-elected body has the ability to levy taxes on metropolitan-area residents.

Sports East Ridge wins game; AV goalie steals show DeForrest makes more than 110 saves by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley’s season ended just before midnight on Feb. 3, but Taylor DeForrest’s legend might just be starting. The Eagles needed strong goaltending from DeForrest to have a chance of upsetting East Ridge in a Section 3AA quarterfinal game at Bielenberg Arena in Woodbury. What they got was far beyond what they – or anybody else – could have imagined. It took six overtimes before East Ridge prevailed 3-2 in the longest high school girls hockey game in state history. It lasted that long mainly because of DeForrest, who made more than 110 saves before East Ridge’s Anya Hafiz knocked in a rebound to end the 121 minute, 58 second game.

The arena’s public address announcer said DeForrest, a junior, made 112 saves. A boxscore on mnhockeyhub.com gives her credit for 111. Either way, it’s likely a state record for most saves made in an overtime game and a postseason game. It’s No. 2 on the all-time list. According to Minnesota State High School League records, Taylor Baumhoefner of Worthington made 118 saves in a regulation-length game against New Ulm in 2007. On Thursday, DeForrest took questions from a number of media outlets about her historic performance and credited her teammates. On her Twitter account, she wrote “I could not be more proud to say that I come from AVHS, we have done some remarkable things! I love each & every girl that was on the ice!” DeForrest made 26 saves in the first period alone as the Eagles (7-17-2), who had four

shots in that period, went to the locker room tied 0-0. Grace Heiting and Abby Roeser of East Ridge (14-10-2) scored goals 1:41 apart in the second period as the fourthseeded Raptors appeared to take control. Apple Valley responded with a power-play goal by Sophia Leong at 16:20 of the second period. Leong scored an even-strength goal at 2:20 of the third, tying the game. According to the mnhockeyhub.com boxscore, East Ridge outshot Apple Valley 46-22 in regulation time and 68-18 in the six overtimes. East Ridge goalie Chloe Heiting made 38 saves. Before last week, the longest girls hockey game in state history was a 2013 state Class AA semifinal between Minnetonka and Lakeville North, which went six overtimes and 113 minutes, 29 seconds before Minnetonka won 4-3. Lakeville North goalie Cassie Alexander

made 59 saves, a record for a state tournament game. In the regular season DeForrest had a 3.27 goals-against average, .873 save percentage and three shutouts for the Eagles. Before the playoffs started, Apple Valley coach Don Erdall told Sun Thisweek Newspapers that “Taylor has had a nice year. She’s had a few tough games, but she’s also kept us in a lot of games.” Now, that seems like foreshadowing. The Apple Valley-East Ridge game wasn’t even the only lengthy contest in the Section 3AA quarterfinals. Hastings needed four overtimes to get past Burnsville 3-2. Blaze goalie Lauren Bench, a finalist for the Let’s Play Hockey Senior Goalie of the Year Award, made 47 saves. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc. com.

Eastview and Eagan returned to the Section 3AA girls hockey championship game after winning semifinal games Saturday at Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights. Defending section champion Eastview defeated East Ridge 3-2 on Natalie Snodgrass’ shorthanded goal at 15:18 of the second overtime. They met in the section final Wednesday at VMCC, after this edition went to press. Eagan goalie Ashley Larson made 23 saves as the Wildcats defeated Hastings 2-0 in the other semifinal at VMCC. The Wildcats were looking for their first trip to the state tournament since 2013. Eastview and Eagan played in the Section 3AA championship game for the third time in four years. Three years ago the Wildcats beat the Lightning 6-4 to advance to state. Last year it was Eastview’s turn as the Lightning rallied to defeat Eagan 6-4.

Eastview 3, East Ridge 2 (2 OT) The Lightning never led until Snodgrass’ solo rush decided the game in the second overtime. With Eastview killing a penalty, she sped past an East Ridge defender and scored on a backhand into the upper corner. It was the 31st goal of the season for Snodgrass, who also was the leading scorer for the gold medalwinning U.S. team at the world women’s Under-18 tournament in January. “When Natalie got the puck, I was yelling from the bench, ‘Beat her wide! Beat her wide!’ ” Eastview coach Herb Harvey said. “She turned on the jets and turned that corner. I’ve seen that a few times before.”

Brooke Madsen assisted on both goals. The Wildcats have just five seniors on their roster, but a group of what co-coaches Kallie Flor and Ryan St. Martin call “veteran underclassmen” helped shut down Hastings. “We have a lot of kids who are good athletes,” Flor said. “And they understand their roles and do their jobs.” The Wildcats lost both of their regular-season games against Eastview, 4-3 and 4-2. “They’re a very hard-working team, but we can play with them,” Eagan 2, Hastings 0 St. Martin said. “I’m looking for Other than a few anxious mo- another close game.” ments on a third-period Hastings power play, the Wildcats (18-5-4) al- Email Mike Shaughnessy at lowed few quality scoring chances. mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

Snodgrass tied the game 1-1 on the power play in the second period, tapping in a rebound of a Cassidy Leininger shot that banked off the end boards. Mary Keating scored on a rebound at 6:34 of the third period, tying the game again at 2-2. “At the start of the game I thought they outplayed us,” Harvey said. “They have three kids who are among the fastest players in the state. Once we adjusted, we started to play better and we didn’t give them a lot of time in our zone.”

He scored four points in 15 minutes in the first half. “It was a good test for us to have to play without (Trent),” said Apple Valley coach Zach Goring. Goring said Eastview (13-9, 7-7) can be a difficult team to defend, but the Eagles held the Lightning to 37 percent shooting (23-for-62) last Friday. Eastview made 13 of 38 three-pointers. Sean Ryan had 19 points, Jameson Bryan 14, Connor Stevens 13 and Martin Mitchell 11 for the Lightning. Eastview’s girls pulled away in the second half for their victory over Apple Valley. Sophomore forward Megan Walstad had 21 points, junior guard Rachel Ranke had 17 and junior guard Allie Pickrain scored 13 for the Lightning, who lost starting guard Erika Schlosser in the first half to a knee injury. Eastview improved to 18-2 overall and 11-1 in the conference. The Lightning plays at Shakopee, the team it’s pursuing for the South Suburban championship, Feb. 19. Sophomore guard Marie Olson scored 17 points to lead Apple Valley. Aleya Parker had 13 points and Erin Baxter scored 10. The Eagles were 12-8 overall and 5-7 in the conference going into their game Tuesday at Burnsville.

Apple Valley maintained a two-game lead in South Suburban Conference boys basketball after defeating Eastview 86-66 last Friday – but the Eagles have games coming up against their two closest pursuers. Friday’s game was the first half of a varsity doubleheader at Eastview High School. In the second game, Eastview’s girls beat Apple Valley 69-54 to remain within one game of conference leader Shakopee. The schools also split a doubleheader Dec. 18 at Apple Valley High School, with the Eastview girls and Apple Valley boys winning. The Apple Valley boys’ victory over Eastview last Friday made them 14-0 in the conference with four games remaining. After playing at home against Burnsville on Tuesday, the Eagles face Shakopee at home at 7 p.m. Thursday and play at Lakeville North on Tuesday, Feb. 16. Shakopee and Lakeville North are tied for second in the conference at 12-2. Cameron Kirksey scored 28 points and Tre Jones had 25 in the Eastview game as Apple Valley (21-1) won its 15th consecutive game.

Experience counts for Nordic skiing standouts Section 1 champions Freed, Acton know what to expect at state by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

State meets never can be considered “easy,” but when you’ve been there numerous times already you at least know what to expect. Eastview senior Margie Freed, who has skied at the state Nordic meet the last four years, goes back to Giants Ridge on Thursday as the favorite to win the girls pursuit championship. Freed, who won the Section 1 championship last week, is ranked first in the state by skinnyski.com. “It’s nice to be expected to win, but either I’ll have a good day or a not so good day,” said Freed, who was third in the 2015 state meet. “I’m treating it like any other meet so I don’t get too nervous.”

Eagan junior Patrick Acton, who was 21st in the state boys meet last year, said, “I don’t know if it necessarily gets easier, but there’s less pressure on you, I think. It’s still the same people, but it’s more comfortable.” Acton won the Section 1 boys pursuit championship. Acton and Freed also led their teams to Section 1 championships. “It’s kind of different because I’m with my whole team rather than being by myself,” said Freed, who competed in the U.S. national championships in Michigan in January. “It’s fun to get hyped up with your team.” Freed and Acton are part of the ISD 196 Nordic skiing team, a cooperative program that includes skiers from Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount high schools, and the School for Environmental Studies. All the skiers train together, but the girls from Eastview and boys from Eagan compete as independent teams in the regular season. In the section meet Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount compete inde-

pendently. ISD 196 coach Brian Abery said the Eastview girls and Eagan boys had to make big comebacks in the freestyle races – the second half of the pursuit competition – to win the Section 1 championships. “We were second (to Burnsville), but behind by 10 points, which is a fair amount,” Freed said. “I was just kind of hoping everyone had their best races.” Freed, who was third after the classic portion of the section race, had the fastest freestyle time and won the pursuit championship. Acton and Ryan Steger finished first and second in the boys pursuit race to lead Eagan past Burnsville. In the South Suburban Conference championships, where Burnsville won the boys and girls team championships, the ISD 196 skiers struggled to find the right wax for the conditions, Acton said. By the section meet they had it figured out. “In the conference race, wax definitely was a factor. With the

kickwax, our skis weren’t really gliding or kicking that well. Mine didn’t glide or kick that well,” Acton said. “At the section race I’d say our classic skis between us and Burnsville were about even, but our skate skis were the fastest ones out there.” Freed, who finished 68th in the state Class AA cross country meet last fall, said she wants to pursue skiing in college. “Running would just kind of be for fun,” she said. “Running races, I think, are a lot harder than ski races.” As for her final high school meet with Eastview, “I think we’re hoping for top five if we could, because we haven’t gotten that before.” The Eagan boys team, which consists mostly of underclassmen, could be even stronger next year, Acton said. On Thursday, “I hope we finish in the top seven or so,” he said. “Next year I think we can probably go for a top-five finish. The best we’ve ever finished there was fourth.”

Skiing notes • Burnsville, the Section 1 boys and girls runner-up, sends both of its teams to the state Nordic meet. Lakeville South’s Brianne Brewster, Harmony Zweber-Langer and Violet Tessier qualified individually for the state girls meet. On the boys side, Rosemount’s Max Johnson, Eastview’s Sean Tuff and Lakeville South’s Grant Halvorson are individual state qualifiers. • Freestyle races will be first in the state meet, with the girls 5-kilometer race at 10 a.m. and the boys starting at 11:15. The girls 5K classic race follows at 2 p.m., with the boys classic at 3. • Eleven skiers from the newspaper’s coverage area competed in the state Alpine meet Wednesday at Giants Ridge. The meet was still in progress when this edition went to press. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

and Medicare need financing fixes; health care is not yet available to all at a reasonable price. These are problems that Congress must address – if not in whole, then at least in part. I have not heard one of the six current Republican candidates for Congress in our district communicate any plan to resolve these issues. Rather, most of them have sworn allegiance to, or expressed interest in, the right wing Freedom Caucus – the very group that says their approach does not work. Angie Craig, the likely DFL nominee for Congress, has made it clear that she intends to find solutions that work for all people in the district. That includes business leaders and workers, teachers and students, seniors and millennials. Angie listens to the people of this district and does not swear loyalty to a group whose sole purpose is to prevent Congress from acting. Angie Craig should be our next Congresswoman from the 2nd District. NORMA J. THAYER Eagan

Brenda Fox, store director of the At Home location in Burnsville, is pictured amid some of the merchandise. (Photo by John Gessner) STORE, from 1A site that housed a Builders Square when it opened in 1992. It later became a Big Kmart. Owner Sears Holdings Co. closed the store in December 2014, along with Big Kmarts in Anoka, Blaine and Waite Park. At Home has a real estate team that scouts for vacant big-box buildings into which it can plug its concept, Fox said. “It’s great to see something refurbished like this, especially in the location that we’re in,” said the longtime former Lakeville resident, who moved to Prior Lake last summer. “It’s a prime location.” Fox has been in retail since 1978, when she helped open a Dayton’s store in Grand Forks while attending the University of North Dakota. She moved to the Twin Cities 20 years ago and has worked for Target, Mar-

shall Field’s and Macy’s. Looking for a change, she left a Macy’s managerial post last year and joined At Home in November. At Home offers 12 broad product categories including furniture, wall decor, kitchen, dining, bed and bath. Products also include patio and garden furniture, seasonal items and housewares. Fox called the concept “something different that people have not seen before.” “We only do home decor,” she said. “We don’t branch out into a lot. ... We do what we do, we do it big, we do it great, but we don’t try to get into everybody else’s sandbox.” At Home carries a few name brands, such as Oneida kitchenware and Henckels knives, but most of the products are privately branded, Fox said. “It is good stuff,” she said. “And it’s a wide range. You can pick and

choose what kind of price range you want. From any income level, you can find what you need here. It’s your choice.” The store has a “good, better, best” range of offerings and prices, Fox said. “We do everything big, and we just do it simplified,” she said. “It’s a huge assortment at very reasonable prices. And you can pretty much find anything.” At Home will offer $50 gift cards to the first 100 customers in line on Saturday, Feb. 13. A ribboncutting with the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce will be held at 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 12. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

VALLEY, from 1A repair and vehicle service including oil changes, tune-ups, and engine and transmission work. “Over the years it’s just been a slow, gradual growth, getting busier and bigger,” Tuthill said. “Our employees are what make our business — from the mechanics to the drivers and the dispatchers, everybody does a great job and that’s what keeps customers coming back.” Dick Tuthill — who was one of Apple Valley’s first volunteer firefighters, and served as the city’s fire chief for all but one year between 1969 and 1994 — is now retired from Dick’s Valley Service, but remains involved with the business, giving rides to employees and running parts to the shop. Marilynn Tuthill passed away in 2004.

Dick Tuthill, left, opened the original incarnation of Dick’s Valley Service — a Mobil gas station — with his wife, Marilynn. His son, Jeff Tuthill, right, currently runs the business with his wife, Lori. (Photo submitted) A third generation of Tuthills are now involved at Dick’s Valley Service. Jeff and Lori’s children — Kayla, a junior at Winona State University, and Andrew and Allyson, both students at Eastview High School — work dispatch

and help with office duties. More about the business is at www.dicksvalleyservice.com. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

theater and arts briefs Rosemount artist wins award Rita Corrigan, a longtime Rosemount resident, won second place in a juried art show sponsored by the Benedictine Center in Maplewood. Her acrylic pastel titled “An Opening in the Clouds� is inspired by trips with her husband, Don, “to observe the glories of the setting sun over the backwaters of the Mississippi,� she said. It is especially poignant, because soon after attending a school program for their grandson last year, Don collapsed and could not be revived. “To me, this pastel has become an image of his release from earth into the heavens through openings in the clouds,� she said. Her work has earned three awards in this competition, with first place going to her in 2014 and second place in 2013.

The juried exhibit, called “Seeing God,� features area artists whose creative process captures a sense of the divine when seeing the world. Almost 50 artists submitted their work, which will be on display until March 4 at St. Paul’s Monastery, 2675 Benet Road, Maplewood. The top three winners share a $375 prize. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 651-777-7251 for more information.

Thisweekend Romance and drama for young adults YA writer Jackie Lea Sommers set to speak Feb. 16 in Rosemount by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Jackie Lea Sommers has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. “The first memory I have of wanting to write books is from when I was in second grade,� said the Twin Cities-based writer of young-adult literature, or YA, whose debut novel, “Truest,� was released in 2015. “I was a storyteller before I learned the alphabet, and it was a natural progression from oral storytelling to written storytelling.� Sommers, who aside from writing works as an admissions counselor at the University of Northwestern, is set to speak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16, at the “Meet the Author� event at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. Admission is free to the event presented by the Rosemount Area Arts Council.

Jackie Lea Sommers fected her fiction. Q: What is your writing strategy? Do you have any writing rituals? A: My writing strategy is simple: show up. That’s essentially my only strategy — I’m not much of a plotter, but I am a hard worker. I find that if I show up to write six days a week, I honor the creative process and eventually work gets finished. Q: Describe your writing room. A: I just purchased a new house and recently completed renovations on a basement office. It’s got a comfy couch and a whole wall of gorgeous, built-in bookshelves.

That said, I don’t do all my writing there. I can write just about anywhere, so long as I have my laptop and Internet access. Q: You’ve written extensively on your blog (jackieleasommers.com) about obsessive-compulsive disorder. Has your OCD affected your fiction writing in any way? A: Yes, aspects of my OCD inspired “Truest.� Since undergoing exposure therapy in 2008, I’m in charge of OCD and not the other way around. Q: What are you working on now? Any book projects in the works? A: I’m working on a second novel for Harper Collins right now — a YA novel about childhood enemies reuniting on the island where they grew up. Q: Which authors have inspired you? A: C.S. Lewis inspires me to write books that make people think. I want to write stories that people have to chew on for a bit. Melina Marchetta is the queen of characters. To me, and especially in character-
