Eagan resident Dariane Van Waes may well be the hardest working pageant queen. The 18-year-old Eastview High School grad is a full-time student, holds five jobs and finds time to take home pageant crowns. Van Waes, who goes by Dare, was named Miss Teen Minnesota last month and will compete this fall in the Miss American Coed Pageant in Orlando, Fla. “It was surprising,” Van Waes said. “I wanted to win but competed with eyes wide open.” Van Waes began competing in the Miss Coed when she was 10 years old with some encouragement from her mother, a former Miss 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,

Eagan High School this week was named one of the best and most challenging public schools in Minnesota. U.S. News and World Report ranked Eagan High School seventh in the state and 555th in the nation in its April 23 list of 2013 Best High Schools. Eagan’s ranking is better than last year when it was ranked 10th in the state and 582nd in the nation. The top Minnesota school in 2013 is Mahtomedi Senior High School. The news magazine reviewed more than 21,000 public high schools across the nation. Working with District of Columbia-based American Institutes for Research, U.S. News and World Report ranked schools based on student-teacher ratio, college readiness, overall student performance on state-mandated assessments and how effectively schools educated their black, Hispanic and lowincome students. College readiness is determined by the percentage of students taking and passing Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams.

Apple Valley High School ranked 31st in the state and 1,498th in the nation. Rosemount and Eastview high schools in School District 196 did not make the list. Nor did Burnsville High School in District 191. Eagan’s college readiness index is 43.7, according to the report. Of the high school’s 2,231 students, 90 percent are proficient in reading and 71 percent are proficient in math, according to statemandated assessments. Forty-eight percent of students took one or more AP or IB exams and 89 percent passed during the 2010-11 school year — the data used to determine 2013 rankings. Eagan High School also was named the 20th most challenging high school in Minnesota by the Washington Post. Eagan placed 1,587th in the nation. The Post graded schools based on the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate Education tests given in a school year, which was divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year.

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.

Longtime educator leaving Senior living plans head to council Apple Valley High School Laura Kay Allen plans to retire in June by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

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. She will be missed.” The Northfield native said she knew from an early age she wanted to be an educator. “The most appealing part was being able to impact the lives of students by helping them make good decisions and by being a positive influence,” Allen said. After graduating from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Allen accepted a job in 1978 as a physical education teacher at Arlington-Green Isle High School in Arlington. After a year, Allen became a physical education and health teacher and coach at Valley Middle School in Apple Valley. As a physical education teacher, Allen felt she was able to teach to the “whole student.” “The most rewarding aspect was watching students succeed and reach goals they never thought they could,” she said. Allen remained at Valley Middle until 1984 when she moved to Virginia where her husband, Mike, was stationed as a naval officer. A year later the couple returned to the Twin Cities where she earned a master’s in education specialist’s degree from the

A Mendota Heights company hopes to build a four-story senior living facility in Eagan. Southview Senior Communities is looking to construct a 148-unit facility on 10 acres at 4232 Blackhawk Road south of Diffley Road. According to plans submitted to the city on April 17, the facility would include assisted living, memory care and independent living units. The Eagan Planning Commission on April 23 unanimously voted to recommend a comprehensive

guide plan amendment to change the land designation from medium-density residential to high-density residential, which will be needed for the development to move forward. The City Council is expected to review the proposed amendment at its May 7 meeting. The guide plan amendment will need to be approved by the City Council and the Metropolitan Council before Southview can move forward with its plans. A rezoning and plat will also need to be approved before construc-

tion can begin. The property is currently zoned as mediumdensity residential and is occupied by two singlefamily homes and several other buildings. The property owner plans to sell the property to Southview upon approval of the development, City Planner Mike Ridley said. Southview Senior Communities owns and operates seven senior living facilities in the Twin Cities area. —Jessica Harper

Allen began her career as a physical education teacher before becoming a school administrator. (Photo by Jessica Harper) University of St. Thomas. Shortly thereafter, Allen landed an assistant principal position at Park High School in Cottage Grove. Though Allen enjoyed teaching, she had long dreamed of working in administration. “I wanted to work with kids in a different way,” she said. Allen said she most enjoyed working in attendance and discipline because felt the role enabled her make the greatest difference with troubled students. Allen returned to her hometown in 1987 as the assistant principal of Northfield Middle School and then of the high school three years later. By 1997, Allen had decided to return to the Rosemount-Apple-Valley -Eagan School District as

an assistant administrator at Apple Valley High School. Eleven years later, Allen was promoted to assistant principal and oversaw the high school’s special education department. Degenaar described Allen as a “great administrator” who has become an expert in special education. As the school year comes to a close, the Northfield resident said she looks forward to spending time with her adult children and traveling with her husband, who is also a retired teacher.

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

serve. The medical examiner identified the remains using previous medical records and Lorenzo found no Pacheco evidence of criminal activity that may have contributed to Pacheco’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 dementia 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. — John Gessner

Opinion 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

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan 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. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters 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 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

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. DEBORAH L. MATHIOWETZ Eagan

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

Carlson bill has bipartisan support To the editor: Some folks are working very hard to try to find fault with the work of a very effective Democratic state senator, Jim Carlson. Recently a letter complained about a Senate bill Carlson introduced to establish street improvement districts, apportion fees for them, and make a plan for street repairs and improvements. The writer complained that this would add to our property taxes, and Carlson had campaigned against property taxes. The bill, Senate File 607, does apportion some of the costs of street repairs and improvements to properties most directly benefited, and considering the condition of our streets and roads after our lengthy season of melts and thaws, there are many potholes to fill and much broken pavement to repair. Carlson recognizes the importance of safe transportation in our neighborhoods and on our highways and bridges. Carlson has also fought for property tax relief for hard-hit owners, particularly those on fixed incomes, and he’ll continue to do that. The writer failed to

mention that Carlson has the support of Democrats and Republicans alike on that road repair bill, including the Republican Senate Minority Leader Sen. Dave Senjem, who co-sponsored it.

Man’s heart and marriage’s meaning 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 immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness. … All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person” (Mark 7:20-21). 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 pic-

ture 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

All-day kindergarten too expensive

of progressives. This plan is a waste of good taxpayer dollars and not sustainable. TERRY W. BRANHAM Lakeville

Don’t rely on handouts To the editor: At 20 years of age, I borrowed $2,000 from my mother for a used Pontiac. New to the Twin Cities then, I found a job working for $5/hour at a car dealership. In order to pay child support, keep up with the rent, and make payments back to my mother at 10 percent interest, I took in all of the overtime I could. We recently heard from a chronic letter writer to this fine paper, questioning whether we’re good or bad Samaritans. He even ends his argument with an example from biblical times – which, judging from his volumes of letters published, has demonstrated vast ignorance of such a subject. I wonder if the letter writer is also familiar with “Give a man a fish and he’ll survive a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll survive a lifetime.” Or, “He helps them who help themselves.” Also, my favorite, “He lets us suffer.” My favorite because suffering challenges and makes us stronger. It teaches invaluable lessons in respect for others and love for community. You want to give something to somebody, how about a job? What the letter writer describes are freebies, in too many cases given out to systemgamers and abusers, that are intended as vote purchasing, but disguised as “help.” While this letter writer is out and about thinking he knows what it takes to play God, let me extend a long overdue thank you to my mother, who not only was paid in full long ago, but also showed her love for me in a way that took me some time to fully understand.

To the editor: I am opposed to all-day kindergarten for several reasons. The cost of $40 million is no more than a pay off to the teachers union for the following reasons. 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 MARK BELLILE part-time professor is paid Lakeville six figures because they belong to the “elite” class

After nearly four years of preparation, the district has applied to debut “Link12” a comprehensive, full-time K-12 online learning program this fall. The request for the district to become an online learning provider was submitted to the state this week, and a response must be received within 90 days. Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder said if the state approves the plan, Lakeville will be the first district in the metro to offer a full-time virtual education option. “It’s part of our vision of personalized learning for all students,” Snyder said. “One size doesn’t fit

Lakeville Area Public Schools has applied to the state to offer students Link12, an online-only educational option. The district hopes to offer the option this fall. (Photo submitted) all anymore.” Snyder said the program, if approved, would allow the potential for a student to graduate from Lakeville schools without ever having set foot in one of its schools. Students will also be accepted from other districts. The virtual program would allow a flexible learning option for students who are involved in high levels of training to pursue goals like competing in the Olympics or seeking a career as a professional dancer. Emily McDonald, PK12 Teaching and Learning coordinator, said while the

classes would allow flexibility, they would still be of a high-quality, rigorous nature and each class size would be limited to 40 students. Courses proposed to be offered are social studies, language arts, math and science and would utilize District 194 curriculum. Electives include physical education, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, health, art for K-5, music and career investigations for senior high students. Teachers would conduct classes using a “learning management system,” that could include PowerPoint presentations, links to videos and lectures and

discussion threads to conduct class. Special needs students would be provided a case manager who would connect with them online and provide support, and services like speech therapy could be provided through online programming, inhome services or in a clinic or office. Additional per-pupil funding generated would help pay teachers’ stipends and provide students with a Google Chromebook.

Online students would also receive a Gmail account, Google Docs and access to a learning management system. McDonald said the program could help return some of the per-pupil funding the district loses when in-district students seek other educational options. According to Snyder, the district receives about $9,000 per pupil in state and local levy funding, making the district’s additional revenue potential $18.1 million just for 2,016 in-district students who either homeschool, attend private schools or open enroll elsewhere. “We want to increase enrollment in our district and we want to retain the students we have,” McDonald said. “Students are seeking a flexible option. We want to be able to provide that for them here in Lakeville.”

Online-only students would have to pass all state-sponsored tests, and those results would serve as a “huge red flag” if a virtual student were cheating the system and not actually doing the work, Snyder said. They would also be eligible to enroll in district sports and activities. McDonald said since the state approval would likely come sometime in July, the district will “be ready to hit the ground running” as soon as it comes. “This is in line with where we want to be long term,” McDonald said. “And that is to serve our students in our community and beyond at a very high level as well as maybe generate some additional revenue for this district.” Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Alleged drunken driver Apple Valley man indicted for murder 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

A 36-year-old Apple Valley man was indicted yesterday by a Dakota County grand jury with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the March 7 death of his wife, Margorie Ann Holland, 37, and her unborn child. The indictment comes after the medical examiner determined that Margorie Holland died by strangulation and not a fall down the stairs at their townhome on 157th Street West as Roger Holland has claimed, according to a release from the Dakota County Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy found that thyroid cartilage in Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck was broken on both sides, she had hemorrhaging in her neck muscles and petechiae in her eyes and on her face, all consistent with the victim having been strangled. Medical personnel and police officers observed numerous injuries on Margorie Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, including bruising and abrasions on her head, face, hands, legs, ankles and feet. Roger Holland claims he found his wife face down on the floor wrapped in a blanket and non-responsive at the bottom 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 Hol-

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

After burglaries, police chase leads to arrest by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Several Lakeville robbery victims have received some of their stolen valuables back after an April 5 arrest that was preceded by a police chase and a dramatic, yet temporary, escape by two suspects. Lakeville police were called at about 4:25 a.m. by a Hamilton Drive homeowner who heard his garage door open and close, investigated and frightened off a black man dressed in black clothing standing next to his vehicle, according to an April 8 Dakota County criminal complaint. The victim was telling police the male had entered the home and stolen a computer, iPad, cellphone, camera and $175 from his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet, while officers received several other burglary reports coming into the department, Chief Tom Vonhof said. Victims allegedly told police they saw a white male and a black male

fleeing the area on foot. The complaint states that a Lakeville officer responding to the area passed a white Pontiac Grand Prix with a white male driver and black male passenger, and both men stared at the officer before the vehicle suddenly turned and sped away, not stopping when the officer pursued with lights and siren activated. With the officer close behind, the driver allegedly slammed on the brakes and made a hard turn, nearly crashing into the squad. While the car was still moving, both occupants bailed out of the vehicle and fled on foot in opposite directions, the complaint said. Vonhof said the vehicle had been stolen. At around 5:45 a.m., a bus driver contacted police to report that a black male described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;suspicious personâ&#x20AC;? had came out of the weedy marsh and boarded the bus at the Cedar Avenue parkand-ride.

Police arrested the man, who allegedly first gave a false name but is now identified as Marquis Marvin Mitchell, 19, of Burnsville. The complaint states police found a small flashlight and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a large amount of cashâ&#x20AC;? on Mitchell and describes him as â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncooperative and belligerent.â&#x20AC;? Mitchell allegedly denied any involvement with any burglaries and/or fleeing police, but later admitted he had entered the residence and was confronted by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;white ladyâ&#x20AC;? and ran. The second suspect is in custody on a separate charge, according to Vonhof. He has not yet been charged in this incident. Vonhof credited the alert bus driver and his officers for their quick thinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good work by citizens calling with good descriptions and officers flooding the area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and neck. Rog e r Holland later told police that his wife had accidentally Roger s c r at c h e d Holland 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 requesting that he get breakfast 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. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tad Johnson

Education National chess champion Metcalf pulls off rare feat The chess program at Metcalf Junior High in Burnsville added to an already impressive history by winning national championships at two rating levels during the Supernationals Tournament in Nashville, Tenn., April 6 and 7. The Under 1000-rated team won its championship behind scorers Alex Gude (second-place individual), Adam Swanson (10th), Spencer Robinson (18th) and Sammie Stadick (25th). Metcalf students also won the Under 750-rated team championship, with team members Blake

Robinson (second-place individual), Jenna Lichty (17th), Victor Sanchez (20th), Addy Quast and Tyler McDonald. “Only a few times in history has one team won two sections of nationals at the same event,” Metcalf chess coach Brian Ribnick said, noting that this year’s Supernationals drew nearly 5,400 individual players and 1,500 teams from around the country. “We had nearly all players playing the highest level of chess in their lives and not becoming unnerved by playing in one of the largest chess tournaments ever.”

Other Metcalf teams also fared well at Supernationals. The Blitz Team placed fourth, the Under 1250 team tied for seventh, and the Under 1600 team placed 25th. In total, Metcalf players brought home 20 individual and team trophies.

fed there and educated. And they have become just remarkable young ladies.” During their journeys, Rotarians cut the ribbon on bathrooms at a girls school that were built with matching grant funds from District 5950 clubs. Many rural Indian schools have primitive toilets that some students — especially girls — are embarrassed to use, which leads some of them to drop out. Rotarians also administered polio-immunization drops to children. Eliminating polio is one of Rotary’s chief goals. “It was wonderful to see the work that Rotary does in other parts of the world,” McDonald said. “We sponsored them for many years, but to actually visit the country and witness and participate in the work, it was so compelling.” Rotary clubs in India treated the Minnesota visitors “like dignitaries,” McDonald said. Overnight train trips and long van and bus rides were hardly luxurious travel for the Minnesotans. “They got exposed to everything,” said Dalal, a Burnsville resident since 1979 who has a State Farm Insurance agency in Prior Lake. But the trip included a visit to the Taj Mahal and a stay in Mumbai for shopping and conventional tourism. “All my relatives were mad as heck at me because I could only spend two nights in Mumbai and I spent all my time with the Rotary club, so they didn’t get to see me,” Dalal said. “But I’m going to have to go back soon.” Some of the travelers will give a presentation on their trip at the Thursday, May 9, meeting of Burnsville Breakfast Rotary, to be held at 7 a.m. at the Chiante Grill, 14296 Plymouth Ave., Burnsville.

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

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 salon’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.

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

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. “It’s going to cost me a lot,” Aryeetey said. “I’m sorry it happened to me and to the other salon, too. It’s hard when you work hard for something

and you put all you have into what you do and someone takes it from you.” 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.

His theater work after college included playing Jesus in a New York production of “Godspell.” But Angieri — a recently laid-off construction manager for Best Buy — took a long hiatus from acting while raising a family. He resumed his craft about eight years ago, earning roles in Northfield Arts Guild productions and then with Park Square Theater, Nimbus Theatre,

Theatre in the Round and the The Playwrights’ Center. Angieri lives in Burnsville with his second wife Faith and their 3-year-old daughter. “I am looking for work in construction management,” he said. “At the same time, I’m looking for acting work as well. I figure it’s a good time to explore that a little bit.” “Profile of a Killer” has a Facebook page: www. facebook.com/ProfileOfAKiller. Katy Zillmer of the Sun Post contributed to this article.

Though she took numerous titles, Van Waes said she goes into to each pageant to learn, meet new people and build character. “Being yourself is most important,” she said. “I believe that you can do anything as long as you keep a positive attitude and are devoted to it.” 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.

Blaze golfers anxious Burnsville girls golf to take it outside team goes young Uloth expected to be Burnsville boys’ top player by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Larry Opatz isn’t about to anoint his Burnsville boys golf team as a South Suburban Conference championship contender, especially considering the Blaze haven’t seen green (or even brown) grass yet this spring. But there’s no denying the team has ability, starting with junior Alex Uloth, who had the lowest stroke average in South Suburban tournaments last spring. Opatz said the Blaze seem to have enough to finish in the top half of the conference. That’s a minimum goal. “I’m not going to come out and say we should be in the top three,” he said. “But last year we did pretty darn well with what we had. We were fourth in the conference, and we have some guys back who played quite a few tournaments during the summer.” Uloth had several top10 finishes in Minnesota Section PGA junior tour-

naments last summer, including a third place in a 36-hole event played at Bunker Hills and Rush Creek. He’s taking his ambitions up a notch this year. Uloth entered individually in the Tri-State Invitational scheduled for this weekend at Edinburgh USA. Opatz said his top player also might enter local qualifying for the U.S. Open. Cole Borchardt, a junior, “stepped up in a number of tournaments last year,” Opatz said. Seniors Jacob Jasperson and Jason Dorow also are returning players, as is junior Landon LaFavre. The Blaze could get some help from sophomores Matt Dorow, Justin Johnson and Carter Dupre. Junior Sam Dockry is another candidate for varsity playing time. Because the team hasn’t had a chance to spend any practice time outside, it has had to improvise. Tuesday, the players headed to the Burnsville High School media center, which has a carpeted floor,

for putting practice. “Over spring break we were able to hit balls at the Soccer Blast dome,” Opatz said. “We’ve encouraged the kids to go on their own to this place in Eden Prairie (Minnesota Golf Academy), which has an indoor putting and chipping area. “Until we can get outside, that’s all we can do. We’ve tried to lighten it up, have some competitions in the gym and make it fun for the kids.” The first competition for Burnsville’s team could be a South Suburban meet April 30 at Creeksbend in New Prague. Burnsville and several other South Suburban teams could have an interesting scheduling dilemma May 6. The Blaze, along with Apple Valley, Eastview and Rosemount, are to play in the Hastings Invitational at 9 a.m., but the South Suburban Conference has rescheduled one of its tournaments for 3 p.m. that day at Minnesota Valley Country Club See GOLF, 13A

Two juniors, two ninth-graders, two eighth-graders in lineup by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville’s girls golf team is going young, and veteran coach Alan VanWyngarden said he has no problem with that at all. The Blaze has won state championships twice since 2000, and VanWyngarden said his goal is to find players who will dedicate themselves to the sport and boost the program back to prominence. To that end, he expects to have two juniors, two ninth-graders and two eighth-graders in his varsity lineup this spring. “They’re the six who say they want to (dedicate themselves), so we’re going to go with them,” VanWyngarden said. “We’ll probably use that lineup most of the way.” Mackenzie Kaplan and Cally Caviness, both juniors, are returning players. Also back are sisters Maria and Jenna Graves, both ninth-graders. They’ll probably be the

Blaze’s top four scorers while eighth-graders Maria Berg and Tessa Riggs develop their games. The Blaze is hoping to improve on last year’s seventh-place finish in the South Suburban Conference, but next season could be the year the team really takes off, VanWyngarden said. Burnsville has 18 players out for girls golf. Some are young players; others, VanWyngarden said, are seniors who want to be part of the team but realize their games probably aren’t ready for varsity competition. The Blaze has set up a practice facility at a local elementary school where they can hit balls into a net and putt on carpeting. It’s not ideal, but with teams not able to get outside, it will have to do. VanWyngarden, who has coached golf for more than 25 years, said he can’t remember a later start to the high school season. The indoor practices

can tell the coach something about the players’ potential. “I’ve been doing this a long time,” VanWyngarden said. “I observe kids and can tell who’s played a lot and who needs to work on her swing.” What they can’t do indoors is simulate shortgame situations outside – bad lies, uneven stances, playing out of the sand. Saving shots around the greens is “without a doubt,” the fastest way to improve scores, the coach said. “Hopefully we’ll get a couple of days outside before we start our matches,” VanWyngarden said. Burnsville’s first competition could come Tuesday, providing Crystal Lake Golf Course is open. The South Suburban Conference is scheduled to hold its first varsity match there at 10 a.m. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Numbers stabilize for Eagan girls lacrosse Eagan’s Wildcats start second year on its own Egwim exhibits diverse talents by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan went 2-12 in girls lacrosse last season and graduated its leading scorer, but coach Kerry Blaine said the Wildcats’ future is anything but bleak. There was going to be a period of adjustment as Eagan went it alone in girls lacrosse. The school was part of a co-op with Rosemount through the 2011 season. In 2012, each school fielded its own team. “The numbers are good,” Blaine said. “The city association is adding a fifth- and sixth-grade team for the summer, and we lost only three seniors from last year. We’ve been very encouraged. I think we’ll be better than last year.” Simone Haugen led Eagan last year with 59 goals in 14 games. She’s now playing for George Washington University, which means the Wildcats have

to get a lot of goals from other players. Blaine said several returnees are ready to supply offense. Forward Abigail Gaedtke scored 31 goals last season as a freshman. Senior captain Carly Sturgeon had 21 goals. The Wildcats need to shore up their defense, which allowed about 18 goals a game last season. They would have had a returnee in goal except that Katherine Sullivan has asked to play a field position. “She’s been a varsity goalkeeper for three years, but she asked to play midfield this year,” Blaine said. “We’re going to let her do that because it looks like we have someone to replace her in goal.” The new goalie is ninthgrader Anna Krueger. Sullivan has played midfield in summer lacrosse and moves into an area where the Wildcats could use some help because one of their returnees is expected

to miss the season after tearing a knee ligament. Senior captain Katelyn Inman returns on defense. Alison Vecellio also is a returning defender. Amy Klein, a senior, can play midfield or defense. Sophomore Sydney Funk should see a lot of playing time at midfield, Blaine said. With the Wildcats having little access to an artificial turf field or a dome, most of their practice has been indoors in the gym. Blaine is anxious to get his team some full-field practice, but as soon as the weather relents, Eagan will start playing. The Wildcats have had six games postponed but hoped to make up one of them Tuesday at St. Louis Park. The team’s next game is 5:45 p.m. Monday at Bloomington Jefferson.

Blazing Cats CI team on a run PI team looking for players to fill out its roster by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the few springs sports that hasn’t been affected by the ongoing winter weather has made the most of its opportunities this season. The Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville Blazing Cats CI (cognitive impaired) adapted softball team is off to a 4-0 start thanks to a high-scoring attack from a veteran squad. Several key members are back off last year’s team that finished third in the state tournament including Terry Kalm, Daniel Klein, Jacob Coffman, Brendon Wong, Stephen Friday and Michael Dedeker. The Blazing Cats opened the season with an 8-5 victory against the Dakota United Hawks on April 11. The victory avenged a loss in the state semifinals last June. The Hawks went on to finish second at state. The next day, the team defeated South Washington County 1610. The high-scoring continued on April 18 with a 17-16 victory against St. Paul Humbolt. The Blazing Cats got its biggest victory yet beating the South Suburban Jets 20-2.

The Burnsville/Lakeville/Farmington Blazing Cats adapted softball team plays against the South Suburban Jets at Century Middle School on Monday. The Blazing Cats won 20-2. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) but the team has showed constant improvement in hitting and fielding. More importantly, “the kids are having a blast,” coach Eric Smith said. It’s been a team effort. Pitcher Emily Grace Swanson is throwing more accurately every week. One of the team’s top hitters Katie Cain has been quicker. Lexi Huber, Kev-

in Bastyr and Jerrad Solberg all seem to simultaneously find their groove at the plate. Cheyenne Hanson has been keeping runs from scoring from the outfield. One area of the team’s game that could use the most improvement is adding another name to the roster. The Blazing Cats have been playing short-handed all season, one player short.

“I have a hard time believing there are only six eligible students in all of Lakeville, New Prague, Burnsville and Farmington interested in coming out and having some fun playing a competitive spring sport, so we need to keep getting the word out,” Smith said. Email Andy Rogers andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Running fast is far from the only thing Eagan High School junior Emerald Egwim does well. Egwim, who was AllState 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. Numerous students from South Suburban Conference high schools did well at the state speech tournament, a Minnesota State High School League-sponsored competition held at Blaine High School. Students from Apple Valley, Eagan and Eastview have been particularly successful; going into this year’s competition, Apple Valley and 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.

Eagan softball goes 2-1 in dome tournament Eagan became one of the first South Suburban Conference softball teams to get in a game this season, going 2-1 and finishing second at the North St. Paul tournament last weekend at the Vadnais Sports Center dome.

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

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
