HOME PRICES REBOUND
Median price in
southeast Minnesota
jumps to $127,500
By Edie Grossfield

(507) 285-7635
Home sales prices in southeast
Minnesota increased in the past
year, pointing to a recovering housing market, according to a report
released by the Minnesota Association of Realtors.
The median sales price in March
for homes in the area jumped to
$127,500, a 10.9 percent increase from
March 2011, the report says. Year-todate numbers show an increase of 7.3
percent in the median sales price,
from $116,500 to $125,000.
That increase beats the sevencounty Twin Cities area, which experienced a median sales price increase
of 0.4 percent to $145,630 during the
last 12 months.
In southeastern Minnesota, the
number of houses sold decreased
by 10.1 percent, from 772 to 694, in
March; year-to-date, they’re down 3.5
percent. In Minnesota, the number of
closed sales was up 7.5 percent from
March 2011.
At first glance, it might seem that
fewer houses sold is a negative indicator. However, Minnesota Association of Realtors CEO Chris Galler said
it’s actually a positive indicator.
“What’s happened is you’re seeing
fewer homes closing, but homes closing at higher prices,” he said. “As
you have fewer distressed properties being sold at lower prices in
your market, it drives overall prices
higher. So, last year, prices were
brought down by the number of sales
of distressed properties, foreclosed
and short sales. Those are mostly
gone.”
That’s true, said Joe Sutherland,
president and owner of Counselor
Realty in Rochester.
“And I think we’re still very close to
record low interest rates. The market
is kind of indicating that it’s bottomed
out,” he said.
Prices are starting to rise and there
are a lot of houses to choose from, so
Sutherland’s office is seeing a lot of
multiple offers on homes, he said.
Because banks and other financial
institutions have tightened their criteria for home loans, Sutherland also is
seeing more obstacles arise when
trying to close sales. For example,
more often these days, pending sales
are canceled because of issues found
during home inspections, Sutherland
said.

Biester pushed
Jones in the face when Jones told
him to stop searching the car. Jones
pulled Biester out of the car, then
punched and kicked him, according
to the complaint.
The Olmsted Medical Examiner’s
Office determined that Biester died
from a brain injury due to blunt force
trauma to the neck and head. He was
“essentially stomped to death,” the
complaint says.
Jones, who on Thursday allegedly
confessed to assaulting Biester, was
arrested Monday on an unrelated
warrant for third-degree assault.
He has been in the county jail since
then.
The arrest was a coincidence,
according to Capt. Brian Winters.
Court records show that police started
investigating Jones as a suspect
in Biester’s death after Jones was
already in jail.

Endorse Quist,
New deli to open in hotel near hospital

Sixth District Congresswoman Michele
Bachmann has endorsed Allen Quist for
congress.
The former Republican presidential
candidate sent a letter to delegates in the
1st District urging them
to back Quist. It’s not
surprising that Bachmann
would support Quist. His
wife, Julie Quist, served
as her district director.
In her letter, she writes
that most members of
Congress, including
Republicans, “unfortunately can’t be trusted
to take the hard votes
Quist
necessary to balance the
budget” but that delegates can trust Quist
“to be true to the principles he advocates.”
In particular, she writes, he can be
trusted “to do whatever is necessary to
kill Obamacare.” He also will not raise
taxes, will defend the Constitution, and
will support the right to bear arms and
oppose abortion.
Quist will face off with state Sen. Mike
Parry for the Republican endorsement
on Saturday in Mankato. They are vying
for the chance to take on 1st District DFL
Rep. Tim Walz in November.

Hundreds of teenagers pursuing

in downtown Rochester as the Minnesota
Law Enforcement Explorer Association
conducts its state conference at Mayo
Civic Center.
The conference started Thursday and
continues through Saturday afternoon
and is expected to draw 800 to 1,000
attendees. Activities include mock crime
scene investigations, a career fair and
exercises including bomb scene searches
and hostage negotiations.
This is the third consecutive year the
conference has been conducted in Rochester, and it looks like that will continue
“for the foreseeable future,” said Brad

The North Dakota Capitol is an example of Chicago skyscraper design, the
governor says.
Insurance office? No way,
N. Dakota governor replies
Associated Press
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota Gov.
Jack Dalrymple isn’t pleased by a Minnesota lawmaker’s comparison of the North
Dakota Capitol to an insurance office.
Minnesota Republican House majority leader Matt Dean mentioned North
Dakota during debate Thursday in St.
Paul about whether to pay for renovations
to Minnesota’s Capitol.
North Dakota’s Capitol was built during
the Depression in the 1930s. Lawmakers wanted to keep costs down, and the
building has a plain concrete and stone
exterior.
Dean called the North Dakota Capitol
“embarrassing” and said it resembles a
State Farm insurance building.
Dalrymple said Thursday that he thinks
the Capitol is “one of the most pleasing in
the United States.” He says people who
don’t appreciate the North Dakota Capitol
haven’t studied much architecture.

Rochester’s most
prolific restaurateurs
are bringing their deli
sandwiches and salads
right to the doorstep of
Saint Marys Hospital with their eighth local
eatery.
David and Mark Currie of Creative Cuisine,
the force behind Newt’s, City Cafe, Redwood
Room and 300 First, plan to open their
second City Market deli.
They have lined up the high-profile
commercial space — the former Carla’s gift
shop — in what’s now called Brentwood on
2nd at the intersection of Second Street and
14th Avenue Southwest. Until recently, the
building was the Blondell Hotel; the upper
floors remain a hotel.
The second City Market will be just a
short crosswalk away from the hundreds
of employees, visitors and patients in Mayo
Clinic’s large, and expanding, hospital.
Rochester developer Ed Pompeian and a
group of investors are moving into the final
stages of a major renovation of the 40-yearold hotel at 1406 Second St. S.W.
The Curries say Pompeian approached
them about possibly doing something with
the 1,300-square-foot space.
“We looked at it and talked and then
talked more. We thought, you know what, we
could do a deli there and it’d really be kind
of fun,” says David Currie.
They hope to open the new City Market in
June.
Jerry Olson / [email protected]
As new owners take over, signs at the former Blondell Motel are being changed to
Brentwood on 2nd.
They’ll follow the same model they
created in downtown Rochester with the
original City Market deli. That means serving soups, sandwiches and salads to give
people “a grab-and-go” option for a quick
meal.
The Curries say they plan to tweak the
menu for both to place more emphasis on
salads.
They will definitely offer delivery to Saint
Marys, David Currie says.
While take-out and delivery will be the
main focus, City Market’s new spot also will
feature dine-in seating. Since it is a little

Unedited comments posted on PostBulletin.com:
A detective who had spent his entire career in
plain clothes retired from the police force and
bought a farm.
“What kind of crops do you plan to grow?” the
police chief asked.
“Carrots and potatoes,” the man replied.
“Why carrots and potatoes?”
“They’re reminders of my glory days as an officer.”
“How can that be?” questioned the chief.
“Because,” answered the ex-detective, “they’re
undercover crops.”

What a great way to desensitize our youth
for a more totalitarian state as they get older.
We’re just gonna search you...now your
car...now your house. Don’t worry about it
—unless you’ve done something wrong. Not
to mention that this is yet another colossal
waste of taxpayer money in the name of the
war on drugs —statistically one of the greatest failures in American history.
———
As a parent of four children, I welcome the
idea of keeping our kids safe at school. It’s
not like the police are going to our homes or
vehicles and doing random searches. We are
talking about our schools. How uncommon
is it for people who sell drugs to also have a
weapon with them? I would have to guess
that the two things go hand-in-hand. Do we
seriously want to allow this to continue in our
schools? There is NO expectation of privacy in
our schools or any government building.
———
More police to create more of a prison
atmosphere. We already have the most prisoners now and adding a few more will just
make things worse. Don’t believe that the
cops will sit idly by as the school works the
problem. Their intent is to get that perp in
jail and start his history with law enforcement. The drug war is a failure and shown by
this one more attempt at controlling something you cannot control.
———
Telling the kids and the news that you’re
going to be patrolling the halls and going
over the school inch-by-inch and searching lockers is rock stupid. Didn’t say they
shouldn’t do it, but putting it out there what
the drug dog can’t find and saying you’re
going to be searching is just going to shift
the criminal behavior instead of catching it.
All in all I read this as, the Rochester school
system has a drug problem, and is expecting
the Rochester police force to fix it. Back in
the day (sigh) kids and teachers knew who
the problem kids were. Complaint would be
filed. Locker searched, drugs found, police
called and that was that. System worked.
———
The reason for the massive public
announcement of this is the “smart” kids will
remove the weed from their lockers. Will be
easier found by parents and cops in cars, etc.
Secondly, the real dopers will forget and still
keep their stash in lockers. When called on it,
they will point the cops to the supplier. That
is what the cops really want to do: interrupt
the supply.

VIKINGS STADIUM
NFL chief urges lawmakers to act now
Senjem questions
whether team
would be moved
president for operations, said on
Thursday.
The group will meet in Dayton’s
office.
League has concerns
By Dave Campbell
and Patrick Condon
Associated Press
ST. PAUL — With a proposed
Minnesota Vikings stadium deal
foundering, NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell headed to Minnesota
today in a bid to persuade state legislators of the peril of putting off the
issue for one more year.
Goodell and Pittsburgh Steelers
owner Art Rooney were scheduled
to meet with legislative leaders
and Gov. Mark Dayton on the $975
stadium plan, which would replace
the Metrodome but suffered a potentially fatal defeat in committee this
week.
For Goodell, the personal touch
follows phone conversations earlier
this week with Dayton, a stadium
booster, to underscore the urgency
the league sees with the legislation.
“A failure to bring this to the
floor is going to be perceived by the
ownership and other cities as if it
came to the floor and it were voted
no,” Eric Grubman, the league’s vice
questioned how seriously lawmakers should take the suggestion that
failure to pass a
bill this year could
cost Minnesota the
Vikings.
“I think we’ve had
this so-called warning around here
for five or 10 years,
so I’m not sure
it’s a threat,” said
Senjem, R-Rochester. He later added: Senjem
“I think the Vikings
are probably going
to be around another year or so.”
The Vikings have declined to
make lead owner Zygi Wilf or team
president Mark Wilf available for
comment this week. Dayton spoke by
phone with the Wilfs on Thursday,
a spokesman for the governor said.
They had no plans to attend Friday’s
meeting with the NFL leaders.
“If it isn’t passed this session, the
league itself — beyond the Vikings
— the league itself has serious
concerns about the viability of the
franchise here and the future of it
here,” Dayton said after a 20-minute
phone conversation with Goodell
and Rooney on Thursday.
So what’s the harm in waiting
another year, after elections are
over this fall? Grubman declined to
directly answer that.
“It’s easier to answer why it must
happen this year. It’s because the
Vikings ownership has waited and
waited for years. Because if there’s
no action taken this year then there’s
no confidence it’s worth waiting any
longer,” he said. “If that’s where this
gets to then Minnesota loses control Would they be sold?

Majority Leader Dave Senjem Vikings?
GIRL SCOUTS
Approval of three-fourths — 24
of 32 — of the league’s owners is
required for both the sale and relocation of a franchise. The league’s rules
say the NFL doesn’t favor relocation
for well-supported clubs, but relocation “may be available, however, if
a club’s viability in its home territory is threatened by circumstances
that cannot be remedied by diligent
efforts” of the team and the league.
The Vikings are the
most popular team in
a crowded market and
haven’t had a home
game blacked out in
15 years. But putting a
team back in Los Angeles, the nation’s secondlargest market, would
be a financial boost to
the league. Other NFL
owners have expressed
frustration over the
years about the lack
of stadium action here.
No move is permissible or practical this year, but there’s always 2013.
The Vikings are no longer legally
bound by a lease to stay here. They’ve
been contacted before by two separate groups trying to lure a team
and build a stadium in Los Angeles
but have said, for now, they’re not
interested in selling.
“But a purchase could happen at
any time,” Grubman said.
Relocation notice for any year
must be given by Feb. 15. Grubman said the Toronto market is also
considered a viable option for an
NFL team along with Los Angeles.
Legislative action
Senjem said he still considered it
realistic the stadium bill could get
a vote in a legislative session that’s
likely to wrap up within weeks or
less, perhaps even as early as
today in that chamber’s Local
Government Committee.
Senate Democratic Leader
Tom Bakk — a stadium backer
— said Democratic members
of the committee were willing
to give it the votes necessary
to keep it alive and moving at
the Capitol.
Bakk said the league had a
right to come out in support

“The only reason we have a
competitive team on the field in
Minnesota is because of the league’s
revenue-sharing that comes to the
Vikings’ owner,” Bakk said. “The
other owners probably aren’t very
happy about sending a bunch of
money to Minnesota to pump up the
salary structure of our team.”

Touring the U.S. amid continued
protests by Tibetans of Chinese rule,
the Dalai Lama is expected to spend
time in Rochester early next week.
Visits to Rochester in April or May
for routine medical checkups have been
common recently for the 76-year-old
Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama will appear in Los
Angeles on Saturday, talk with Mayo
employees here on Tuesday, and appear
Wednesday in Chicago, where he will
participate in a summit of Nobel Peace
Prize laureates. Mayo Clinic spokespeople have not returned calls seeking
comment about his visit.
He started his U.S. tour in Hawaii
on Saturday and will attend events in
Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday
before heading to Ottawa, Canada,

Europe.
Twenty-five Tibetans have reportedly
set themselves on fire
during the past year
to protest repressive
Chinese policies in
Tibetan regions. The
Dalai Lama, who last
year announced he was
stepping down as the
political leader of the Dalai Lama
Tibetan government
in exile, has called Chinese actions in
those areas “cultural genocide.”
Last year, the Dalai Lama came to
Rochester for a Mayo checkup the
day before he made a series of public
appearances in Minneapolis. When the
Dalai Lama has spoken in Rochester, it
has always been to invited groups.
The Dalai Lama will serve on a
panel that will discuss the topic
of resilience of mindfulness, in an
invitation-only event at 10 a.m.
Tuesday at Saint Marys Hospital
chapel, Mayo Clinic announced this
morning.
Other panel members are Dr. John
Noseworthy, president and CEO of
Mayo Clinic; Dr. Amit Sood, chair
of the Mayo Mind Body Medicine
Initiative; Daniel Goleman of the
Mind & Life Institute; Carla Paonessa
of the Mayo Clinic Leadership Board;
and Sherry Chesak of Mayo Clinic

volunteers had to answer
three questions, including
who they planned to give the
books to, Stephenson said.
“I had said I thought it
would be nice to give away
books to people waiting for
family members at Mayo
Clinic,” she said. “I imagine
some of them are there waiting for a long time, and a book
would be nice to have.”
She and five other members
of the Friends of the Rochester Public Library plan to set
up a table from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
on the west end of the Peace
Plaza to hand out books. Each
volunteer will distribute a
different book from the list
of 30 titles selected by World
Book Night organizers.
There are books that have
been specially published
for the event that have the
World Book Night logo and
date on the cover along
with the full list of titles
suggested that year, she said.
They include “The Hunger
Games,” “A Prayer for Owen
Meany, “ “Book Thief,” “Brief
Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,”
“Glass Castle,” “Housekeeping,” “My Sister’s Keeper,”
“The Namesake” and “Blood
Work.”
Volunteers got to choose
which book they’d like to
hand out, said Stephenson,
who chose “The Absolutely
True Diary of a Part Time
Indian.”
“It’s a young-adult book,
and I do like them because
they read a little faster, and
this one is particularly good,”
she said. “It was also a challenged book and is a really
good story. I like the person
to make up their own mind
about it.” She also thinks it’s
one of those books that can
get someone hooked on reading, she said.

NEWS ANALYSIS
Scandals take toll early in election campaign
By Jim Kuhnhenn
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It isn’t Mitt
Romney who’s giving Barack Obama
fits as the president pivots to
1 re-election mode. It’s those
federal bureaucrats carousing in Las Vegas, the Secret Service
consorting with Colombian prostitutes
and U.S. soldiers posing with bloody
enemy corpses.
The scandals are taking a toll. They
are distracting embarrassments that
are dominating public attention while
Obama seeks to focus on difficulties
abroad and jobs at home. And they
are giving Republicans an opportunity to question his competence and
leadership, an opening for Romney
in a race so close that any advantage
might make a difference.
Even if the Democratic president
escapes being defined by these flareups, they still feed a story line that can
erode public confidence in Washington institutions, fuel a perception of
federal excess and frustrate Obama’s
argument that government can be a
force for good.
The White House response has
been textbook — a mix of outrage
and deflection.
“The president has been crystal clear since he was a candidate
about the standards that he insists
be met by those who work for the

spokesman Jay Carney.

Washington, D.C.
The Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday it was
increasing its staff of mental health workers by roughly 1,900,
part of an effort to address a shortage of specialists and to
better prepare for the medical needs of veterans returning
home from war.
The department plans to add about 1,600 clinicians, including psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and
professional counselors, and about 300 support staff to an
existing mental health staff of roughly 20,590.
“As the tide of war recedes, we have the
opportunity, and the responsibility, to anticipate the needs of returning veterans,” VA
Secretary Eric Shinseki said in a statement.
“History shows that the costs of war will
continue to grow for a decade or more after
the operational missions in Iraq and Afghanistan have ended. As more veterans return
home, we must ensure that all veterans have
access to quality mental health care.”
The new hires follow a months-long VA
Shinseki
review that determined shortages in mental
health staff nationwide, leading veterans in
some areas to wait longer than they should for treatment, VA
Under Secretary for Health Robert Petzel said in an interview.
Recruitment is expected to begin soon, and the VA plans to
attract specialists from the military, the private sector and
fresh out of school, Petzel said.
Since 2007, the VA has experienced a 35 percent increase in
the number of veterans receiving mental health services. The
department says it’s made strides in part by developing a more
extensive suicide prevention program and by increasing the
number of counseling centers. — Associated Press
President Obama should not bother trying to pass guncontrol legislation because the issue is partly cultural and
Obama is from an urban area, former President Bill Clinton
said Thursday.
Clinton was asked about the gun issue
during his keynote address at a New York
City conference on sustainability.
The former president said Obama is from
Chicago and “he was in the state Senate from
the most liberal district in Chicago.”
Clinton said he was able to sign the 1993
Brady handgun law, which mandated federal
background checks for gun buyers, because
he was from Arkansas, had grown up among Clinton
hunters and had hunted in his youth.
“I knew what to do,” Clinton said. “They couldn’t turn me
into some freak, and I went after them.”
He added, “I have an unusual cultural advantage to deal
with this on a legislative basis.” — Associated Press
Helm helped define Americana sound
With songs like “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,”
“The Weight” and “Up on Cripple Creek,” The Band fused
rock, blues, folk and gospel to create a sound that seemed as
authentically American as a Mathew Brady photograph or a
Mark Twain short story.
In truth, the group had only one American
— Levon Helm.
Helm, the drummer and singer who brought
an urgent beat and a genuine Arkansas twang
to some of The Band’s best-known songs and
helped turn a bunch of musicians known
mostly as Bob Dylan’s backup group into
one of rock’s most legendary acts, has died.
He was 71.
Helm, who was found to have throat cancer
in 1998, died Thursday afternoon of complicaHelm
tions from cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, said
Lucy Sabini of Vanguard Records.
Helm and his bandmates — Canadians Rick Danko, Garth
Hudson, Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel — were musical virtuosos who returned to the roots of American music in
the late 1960s as other rockers veered into psychedelia, heavy
metal and jams. The group’s 1968 debut, “Music From Big
Pink,” and its follow-up, “The Band,” remain landmark albums
of the era, and songs such as “The Weight,” “Dixie Down” and
“Cripple Creek” have become rock standards.
The Band backed Dylan on his sensational and controversial electric tours of 1965-66 and collaborated with him on the
legendary “Basement Tapes.”
Dylan said on his website Thursday: “He was my bosom
buddy friend to the end, one of the last true great spirits of my
or any other generation. This is just so sad to talk about.”

“If it’s at an agency, White Houses
do their best to keep it arms’ length
and let the agency take the hits and
deal with it,” Fleischer said. “I think
that’s what’s going on here.”
Yet, the president can’t turn his
back on the problems, either, and
is ultimately held responsible for
restoring the reputations of troubled
agencies.
“Part of the president’s job is to
protect the institutions of government,” said Paul Light, an expert
on government bureaucracies and
professor of public service at New
York University. “He is administrator
in chief whether he likes it or not.”
Some Republicans were folding
the Secret Service and GSA episodes
together with Solyndra, a solar firm
that received a half-billion dollar
federal loan and was touted by the
Obama administration before declaring bankruptcy last year.
“Presidents are to be held responsible,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.,
said Thursday. “They also need to be
responsible for insisting that from the
top to the lowest employee that not
one single dollar will be wasted in
this government,” he added. “I don’t
sense that this president has shown
that kind of managerial leadership.”

have overwhelmed the president’s
agenda. The Secret Service scandal
broke while Obama was in Cartagena last weekend for a Summit of
the Americas with more than 30 West-
ern hemisphere leaders. Back home
the headlines and the news anchors
were hardly focusing on the summit,
instead playing up the fact that 11
Secret Service agents and uniformed
officers had been sent home on accusations of misconduct.
By the time the president got home,
General Services Administration officials were appearing before congressional committees about a lavish Las
Vegas conference and junkets to
resorts, and more evidence of excess
was beginning to emerge. Obama’s
attempts to draw attention to his
efforts against oil market manipulation on Tuesday and to help the economy on Wednesday were drowned out
by further Secret Service revelations
and by the publication of gruesome
photos depicting GIs with the bodies
of Afghan insurgents.
“Even though you may not be losing
ground because it’s not the White
House taking the hits, you’re no longer
gaining ground because the White
House doesn’t get its message out,”
said Ari Fleischer a former spokesman for President George W. Bush.
Obama quickly tried to put distance
between himself and the accounts of
misbehavior. White House spokesmen
avoided getting into specifics, instead
citing investigations under way and
referring reporters to the Secret
Service or the GSA or the Pentagon.

Girl born without hands
wins penmanship award
A Pittsburgh-area girl born without
hands has won a penmanship award — and
$1,000 — from a company that publishes
language arts and reading textbooks.
Zaner-Bloser Inc. recognized 7-year-old
Annie Clark at Wilson Christian Academy
in West Mifflin with its first-ever Nicholas
Maxim Award.
Nicholas was a Maine fifth-grader born
without hands or lower arms who entered
the company’s penmanship contest last
year. His work impressed judges enough
that they created a new category for
students with disabilities.
The girl’s parents, Tom and Mary Ellen
Clark, have nine children — three biological and six adopted from China, including
Annie. Annie is one of four of the adoptees
who have disabilities that affect their hands
or arms. The Clarks also have an adopted
child, Alyssa, 18, and a biological daughter,
Abbey, 21, with Down syndrome.
“Each time, we weren’t looking to adopt
a special-needs child, but that is what
happened,” said Mary Ellen Clark, 48, of
McKeesport. “This was the family God
wanted for us.”
Annie has learned to paint, draw and
color. She also swims, dresses, eats meals
and opens cans of soda by herself, and
uses her iPod touch and computers without assistance.
“She’s an amazing little girl,” said
Tom Clark, 49, who owns an automotive
dealership. “It’s a shame because society places so many rules on how people
should look, but the minds of these kids
are phenomenal.” — Associated Press

Last year was the worst year for measles
in the U.S. in 15 years, health officials said
Thursday.
There were 222 cases
of measles, a large jump
from the 60 or so seen in
a typical year. Most of
the cases last year were
imported — either by
foreign visitors or by U.S.
residents who picked up
the virus overseas.
“For those of you
traveling abroad, bring Schuchat
back memories and not
measles,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the
Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Officials traced 200 of last year’s 222
cases to measles in another country,
said Schuchat, director of the CDC’s
Office of Infectious Diseases. The largest
outbreak was in the Minneapolis area
where 21 cases were traced to a child
who got sick after a trip to Kenya.
The last time the United States had
more measles was in 1996, when 508
cases were reported. — Associated Press

Nebraska
Officials propose revised
oil pipeline route
Officials unveiled a new preferred
route Thursday for the Nebraska portion
of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline
that avoids the state’s groundwater-rich
Sandhills region.
The proposed route would veer east
around the Sandhills before looping back
to the original route. Developer TransCanada has said the reroute adds about
100 miles to the original 1,700-mile project
that would carry oil from Canada to the
Gulf Coast.
The company submitted the proposal
after Gov. Dave Heineman allowed state
officials to proceed with an environmental review. The review stalled in January
when the Obama administration rejected
a federal permit for the pipeline.
The full $7 billion pipeline would travel
from Canada through Montana, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas. TransCanada wants to build
the 36-inch pipeline to carry oil from
tar sands in Alberta to refineries on the
Texas Gulf Coast. — Associated Press

For years, Katie Sanchez participated
in her local Susan G. Komen Race for the
Cure, raising money annually to honor
her aunt, cousin and a male friend — all
breast cancer survivors.
But when her local race rolls around
this fall, she won’t be there. She already
donated her entry fee to Planned Parenthood.
“Pretty much everyone I walk with has
decided to do something else,” she said.
Sanchez and many other Komen supporters have abandoned the nation’s largest
breast-cancer charity since news emerged
in late January that it had decided to stop
making grants to Planned Parenthood
for breast cancer-screening. Komen soon
reversed that move following a three-day
onslaught of criticism.
Organizers of individual Race for the
Cure events — 5K runs and walks that
account for most of the charity’s fundraising — have seen participation decline by
as much as 30 percent. Most also saw their
fundraising numbers go down, although a
couple of races brought in more money.
“I think there’s no getting around the
fact that the controversy did have an
impact,” said Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
“We’re not back where we were. We
know that it’s going to take a while.”
For fiscal year 2011, Komen spent
83 percent of its money on its mission.
Thirty-seven percent went to education,
23 percent to research, 16 percent to
screening and 7 percent to treatment. Of
the remaining, 7 percent went to administration and 10 percent to fundraising,
Aun said. — Associated Press

Attendance scam hits
Berkeley High School
Dozens of students at Berkeley High
School are facing suspension or expulsion after school officials say they got
into a computer system and changed their
attendance records.
Principal Pasquale Scuderi said that
50 students will be suspended and two
or three expelled. The scam apparently
occurred after some students were able
to obtain an administrative password to
the system, which was then sold to other
students.
The changes to students’ attendance
records occurred between October and
January and meant students could skip
classes or school altogether without their
parents knowing.
Scuderi said administrators discovered the scam just before spring break
on April 2. They then went through the
school’s 3,200 students to determine who
was involved. — Associated Press

Al-Qaida says more attacks coming
The Iraqi branch of al-Qaida claimed responsibility today
for bombings that killed at least 30 people in the capital and
across the country the day before, the worst wave of violence
in weeks.
A statement posted on a militant website said the rapid-fire
attacks aimed to punish the Shiite-led government — and all
those who cooperate with it — for injustices against Sunnis.
The statement was signed by the Islamic State of Iraq, a Sunni
militant group linked to al-Qaida.
The attacks targeted “government’s security, military and
administrational centers and leaders, and its followers of
traitors who supported it in Baghdad and elsewhere, who
were the cause in the spreading of Shiism in Sunni areas,”
the statement said.
“This foray is the beginning of what is waiting for them in
the coming days, God willing, of a blessed series of attacks that
has started and won’t stop till God rules between us and the

Tens of thousands of protesters packed Cairo’s downtown

Moderates forced to ‘hide or emigrate’
By Bassem Mroue
Associated Press
BEIRUT — The militarization of Syria’s uprising has
strengthened the most radical
elements on both sides
1 of the bloody, 13-monthold conflict, sidelining
the moderate voices that many
see as the best hope for Syria’s
future.
The shift is clear in the images
pouring out of the country:
Gunmen prowling the streets,
tanks rolling through cities and
hails of mortar fire are more
common scenes than protesters carrying olive branches and
chanting for peaceful democratic change.
Members of the Syrian opposition want nothing less than
the removal of the Baath party
regime, while the government
appears determined to crush
the uprising no matter how
many Syrians lose their lives.
This could make it even more
difficult for the already faltering peace plan of international
Arab envoy Kofi Annan, which
calls for a dialogue over Syria’s
future.

Gunman calmly recounts massacre
In testimony too graphic for any parent to hear, Norwegian
far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik shocked an Oslo
courtroom today as he calmly described hunting down teenagers on an island summer camp.
As his words rolled
out, survivors and
victims’ relatives of
the July 22 massacre
hugged and sobbed,
trying to comfort each
other. That testimony
was also broadcast to
17 other courtrooms in
Norway where others

were gathered, but

day of his trial in Oslo.
The 33-year-old
Norwegian left out no detail from his rampage, explaining
how he shot panicked youths at point-blank range. Sixty-nine
people, mostly teenagers, were killed on Utoya island.
“Some of them are completely paralyzed. They cannot run.
They stand totally still. This is something they never show on
TV,” Breivik said. “It was very strange.”
Breivik has admitted to setting off a bomb in Oslo, killing
eight people, before opening fire to the governing Labor Party’s
annual youth camp on Utoya island. But he has pleaded not
guilty to criminal charges, saying his victims had betrayed
Norway by embracing immigration.
Breivik said he was deliberately using “technical” language
as a way to keep his composure.
“These are gruesome acts, barbaric acts,” he said. “If I had
tried to use a more normal language I don’t think I would have
been able to talk about it at all.”
Earlier, Breivik said he took to the Internet to learn how to
carry out a bombing-and-shooting rampage, studying attacks
by al-Qaida, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and the
1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. — Associated Press

Global response muted
to nuclear missile test
India’s successful test of a new missile
that can carry nuclear weapons to Beijing
caused barely a ripple — even in China —
just days after North Korea was globally
vilified for a failed rocket launch.
“It’s not the spear, but who holds the
spear that matters,” said Rahul Bedi, a
defense analyst in India. “North Korea is
a condemned nation. It’s a pariah country.
Its record of breaking nuclear agreements
is well known. India has emerged in that
sense as a fairly responsible country.”
The muted response to Thursday morning’s test underscores how far India has
come in gaining acceptance for its nuclear
program. After India tested its first nuclear
bomb in 1974, the United States put it
under sanctions for a quarter century.
But last decade, the U.S. removed the
sanctions and eventually ratified in 2008
a landmark deal to allow civilian nuclear
trade that effectively accepted India as a
nuclear nation. — Associated Press

of dolphins along the South American
country’s coast.
A total of 877 dolphin carcasses have

Officials have been studying possible
factors in the dolphins’ deaths including
a virus or seismic oil exploration.
An analysis of the beached dolphins’
internal organs hasn’t found the sort of
symptoms that experts have seen in other
cases when dolphins have been affected
by seismic tests, Quijandria said.
He said experts are studying whether
the animals could have succumbed to a

launched last year with the
aim of transforming Syria into
a democratic, pluralist and civil
state, though under Assad’s
rule, an idea even many moderates in the opposition consider
impossible.
Syrian news websites quoted
Salman as saying that they
decided to stop the initiative
after they got no response from
different parties “to try solve
the Syrian crisis politically.”
Some opposition websites, such
as All4Syria, said Salman came
under extreme pressure from
regime hard-liners.
The sidelining of moderate
voices on both sides will most
likely give a bigger role to hardliners who believe that Syria’s
worst crisis in decades can only
be solved with force.
In a sign that the violence is
spiraling out of control, residents of the central city of Homs
— a hotbed of dissent against
the regime — say the fighting
often takes on haunting sectarian overtones. Tit-for-tat sectarian killings have taken place
between majority Sunnis, who
largely back the opposition, and
minority Alawites, who stand by
the regime.

Job market sputters in March
Staff and news services
Minnesota’s unemployment rate was
at a seasonally adjusted 5.8 percent for
March, well below the rate this time last
year and the national average.
The rate reported Thursday by
the Department of Employment and
Economic Development was one-tenth
of a percentage point higher than in
February.
Statewide, employers cut a net 200
jobs and the number of jobs gained in
February was also revised downward.
Nationally, the unemployment rate was
8.2 percent for last month.
The Rochester metropolitan area,
however, has lost 800 jobs in the past
year, for a drop of 0.8 percent. In the
metro area, retail trade jobs were down

1.2 percent and educational and health
jobs were down 1.1 percent; but manufacturing jobs were up 3.2 percent.
Minnesota’s job numbers grew by 1.1
percent. Mankato’s grew by 3.3 percent,
Minneapolis-St. Paul by 1.2 percent, St.
Cloud by 1.3 percent. Duluth, like Rochester, lost 0.8 percent of its jobs.
Since the recession, private employers
in Minnesota have added back 88,000 of
the jobs that were lost. That’s just shy
of six in 10.
The government sector shed the most
jobs followed by manufacturing and
construction. Trade and transportation
and hospitality sectors accounted for
most job gains during March.
In the Rochester metro area, comprising Dodge, Olmsted and Wabasha coun-
ties, private sector jobs were down 1.2
percent while government added 2.3
percent. There were 99,416 jobs in the
three counties, down 806 from a year
earlier.
Employees were working more hours
per week — 34.2 — in March compared
to the 33 hours in 2011. But the average
wage was $33.16 per hour, way up from
$30.32 a year earlier.
DEED officials said decreasing unemployment claims, increased job postings and strong retail sales point to an
improving economy.
“The underlying fundamentals of the
economy remain strong, even after job
losses last month for the first time since
November,” said DEED Commissioner
Mark Phillips.

HELSINKI — Struggling
cellphone maker Nokia
Corp. blamed tougher-thanexpected competition, particularly in the smartphone
market, for a huge $1.2 billion
net loss in the first three
months of the year.
The loss, reported Thursday, compared with a profit
of $451 million in the equivalent period a year earlier
and came as revenues slid 30
percent to $9.7 billion from
$13.6 billion in 2011.
The result represents one
of the company’s worst ever
quarters and came as it faced
stiff competition from the
likes of Apple Inc.’s iPhone
and handset makers using
Google Inc.’s popular Android
software — such as Samsung
Electronics Inc. and HTC of
Taiwan
The Finnish company said
net sales of devices crashed
40 percent to $5.5 billion, with
smartphone sales down by
more than half to $2.2 billion.
It also issued a fairly grim
outlook and the company’s
share price fell 4 percent to
$3.80 in Helsinki.
Nokia said operating
margins in the second quarter
would be “similar to, or below
the first quarter 2012 level of
negative 3 percent,” and that it
would speed up a cost cutting
goal of $1.3 billion.
Associated Press
Finnish cellphone maker Nokia posted a $1.2 billion
loss during the first quarter of 2012.
Challenges conceded
CEO Stephen Elop conceded
Nokia had faced “greater
than expected competitive
challenges” and some challenging markets, including
Britain.
Nokia has been the leading
handset maker since 1998, but
after reaching a global goal
of 40 percent market share in
2008, its share had shrunk to
below 29 percent last year.
There are now expectations
that Nokia will soon lose its
status as the biggest maker
of handsets.
“This was definitely one of
Nokia’s worst quarters ever,”
said Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics. “Nokia’s problem in developed markets
is spreading to developing
markets and that is causing a
lot of their challenges. I think
we’ll see Samsung overtaking
Nokia as the biggest volume
maker of handsets.”
Once an industry leader
The former bellwether of
the industry has lost its dominant position against the
likes of Apple and Google
in the growing smartphone
segment.
It has also been squeezed in
the low-end by Asian manu-
facturers making cheaper
phones, such as China’s ZTE.
Nokia hopes to remedy its
slide with the new Windows
Phone 7, launched in October, eight months after Elop
announced a partnership with
Microsoft Corp. Nokia says the
Windows operating system
will be the main platform in
its new phones, phasing out
the MeeGo and Symbian platforms, considered clumsy by
many operators.
Nokia has since launched
several versions of Windowsbased Lumia phones. Its
cheapest — the Lumia 610
— was unveiled Thursday
for Asian markets with an
expected price tag of some
$249.
Still, sales of smartphones
dropped to 12 million in the
first quarter, from 24 million
a year earlier, while volume
sales of cellphones fell to 83
million from 108 million in
2011.
In 2011, Nokia announced
more than 10,000 layoffs to
lower expenses and has not
ruled out more cutbacks.
Last year, Nokia was still
the world’s top cellphone
maker with annual unit sales
of some 419 million devices,
but in the last quarter of the
year it posted a net loss of
$1.4 billion, a marked reverse
from the $977 million profit a
year earlier.

HEALTH CARE
Pledge to improve heart-safety device falls short
New York Times
As doctors scramble to
understand the risks posed by
a flawed heart device component made by St. Jude Medical, the episode is raising a
bigger question — whether
the $10 billion heart-device
industry has fully embraced
promised safety reforms.
The industry was shaken
in 2005 by disclosures that a
major maker of heart defibrillators, Guidant, had not
warned doctors about a potentially fatal flaw in its products.
Subsequently, Guidant and
other device makers promised to set up independent
medical advisory boards, to
quickly investigate malfunctions in their products and
to alert doctors to potential
problems.
The key to preventing a
repeat episode, specialists
say, was for manufacturers to
scrutinize every death to see
if it pointed to an underlying
flaw that could kill or injure
other patients.
But now the same issues that
dogged device makers seven
years ago are resurfacing
amid a controversy over how
St. Jude Medical has handled

component, a wire — or lead
— that connects a defibrillator
to a patient’s heart.
signs pointing to a broader
problem involving the Riata
lead?
‘’Someone in the company
should have been watching
this,” said Dr. Robert J. Myerburg, who led an independent
investigation into Guidant’s
decision not to warn doctors
that some of its defibrillators
could short-circuit.
A defibrillator emits an
electrical jolt to interrupt a
potentially fatal heart rhythm
and restore the normal heartbeat.
Malfunctions
are documented
Last month, an outside
researcher, Dr. Robert Hauser,
of Minneapolis, released a
study indicating that shortcircuits and other failures
of the St. Jude lead might
have played a role in some 20
patient deaths.
His report followed several
studies showing that the lead,
called the Riata, was also
prone to another malfunction, a tendency for internal
wires to break through the
protective outer coating and
cause electrical problems
such as unintended shocks in
some patients. About 128,000
patients worldwide still use
the Riata lead, which the
company stopped selling in
2010.
St. Jude executives, including the chief executive, Daniel
J. Starks, reacted to Hauser’s

In a statement issued in
response to questions from
the New York Times, Amy
Jo Meyer, a St. Jude spokeswoman, said the company
regularly updates a panel of
outside safety specialists about
patient deaths potentially
tied to lead failure. But the
company declined to disclose
how many deaths involving
short-circuits and other electrical failures involving the
Riata had been presented to
that panel.
One member of St. Jude’s
lead safety panel, Dr. Bruce
Wilkoff, of the Cleveland
Clinic, said in an email that
he did not “have specific
recollections of how many
patient scenarios” had been
presented but added that he
was aware of the conditions
that could result in a patient’s
death.
Four other specialists on
that board either did not
respond to repeated requests
for comment or declined to
comment on the number of
patient deaths St. Jude officials had presented to the
panel.
In a telephone interview
last week, the company’s chief
medical officer, Dr. Mark D.
Carlson, said that some
patient deaths were inevitable
because defibrillators occasionally fail; he added that the
types of insulation problems
with the Riata were common.
However, other heart
device specialists said they
were disturbed by St. Jude’s
explanations, adding that
the number of Riata-related
deaths appeared unusually
high compared with other
leads and pointed to a troubling pattern.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
number of people seeking
U.S. unemployment benefits
suggests hiring is slowing.

Thursday that weekly applications dipped last week by
2,000 to a seasonally adjusted

the department revised up the
previous week’s data to show
8,000 more people applied for
benefits than first estimated.
The four-week average, a
less volatile measure, rose
last week by 5,500, to 374,750.
That’s the highest level in
three months, although it is
still 9 percent lower than the
level from September.
Applications have started to
tick up in recent weeks after
months of steady declines.
When applications fall below
375,000, it generally suggests
hiring will be strong enough
to lower the jobless rate.
Some economists said
temporary layoffs stemming
from the spring holidays have
inflated the figures. Many
school employees are laid off
during spring break and are
eligible to file for benefits.
Hiring weakened in March
after a fast start this year.
Employers added only 120,000
jobs in March — half the pace
of the previous three months.
Many economists downplayed the weak March
figures, noting that a warmer
winter may have led to some
earlier hiring in January and
February. They have noted
that the economy has added
an average of 212,000 jobs per
month in the January-March

quarter, well ahead of last
year’s pace.
The unemployment rate has
fallen to 8.2 percent in March
from 9.1 percent in August.
Part of the drop was because
people gave up looking for
work. People who are out of
work but not looking for jobs
aren’t counted among the
unemployed.
Lower benefit applications
indicate that companies are
cutting fewer jobs. And economists note that unemployment benefit applications are
at a much lower level than
they were last year, which is
a hopeful sign that March’s
weak numbers were a temporary lull. Economists say they
will have a better sense of
the trend in hiring when the
government issues the April
jobs report next month.

OUR VIEW
Turn our attention back to the road
S
tatistically speaking, there’s
a fairly strong likelihood that
someone who reads this editorial will say, “Great — NOW you
tell me.”
That’s because on Thursday,
nearly 400 city and county law
enforcement agencies in Minnesota, along with the state patrol,
cracked down on drivers who
weren’t devoting their full attention to the life-and-death task at
hand.
If you were among the drivers
whose wallet will be a bit lighter
because you were caught reading
an email or sending a text while
driving, consider yourself lucky,
because the consequences of that
poor decision could have been a
lot worse. Distracted driving has
caused 208 deaths and 26,000 injuAssociated Press ries on Minnesota roads during the
past three years.
Minnesota State Trooper Tim Koehler looks for distracted drivers on
Frankly, we hope that the time
Thursday in Golden Valley.
will come when we can stop
begging people to put down their
phones and focus on the road.
Perhaps that day will arrive only
when the Legislature bans drivers from using cell phones of any
kind. We’re convinced that such
a change will take place; it’s just
a matter of how many horrific
crashes we’ll have to read about
before our leaders can summon the
resolve to do what’s right.
But today, we want to remind
people that phone calls and text
messages aren’t the only distractions that can prove deadly, especially at this time of year. Even if
you turn off your phone every time
you get in the car, distractions such
as the radio, food, kids or even
conversations with a passenger can
put you and others at risk.
That’s especially true at this time
of year, when longer days and mild
weather mean more kids are out
and about. They’re playing ball,
riding bicycles and doing all those
things that children do. Unfortu-
nately, paying attention to traffic
isn’t high on their list.
So we ask everyone to be especially attentive while driving near
schools or through residential
neighborhoods. Be aware of what’s
happening on sidewalks and front
yards. When kids are anywhere
near the road, slow down and
expect the unexpected — such as a
ball bouncing into the street, soon
to be followed by a child who darts
out from between two parked cars.
We need to be careful out there,
because 2012 has gotten off to a
bad start on our roads and highways. To date, 79 people have died
in traffic accidents in Minnesota,
well ahead of the record-low pace
that was achieved last year.
So, to borrow a line from The
Doors, “Keep your eyes on the
road, your hands upon the wheel.”

If we don’t fund Vikings
stadium, California will
By Tony Wirt
TWO CENTS’ WORTH
The latest proposal for a new NFL
stadium appears headed towards
something all too familiar to Vikings
fans — defeat.
This disappoints
some who want
to see the team
in a new stadium
and are willing to
pay for it, while it
pleases some who
don’t want any
public money spent
and don’t care if the
Vikings find a new
home.
Wirt
I don’t have a
problem with either of those views.
Both are valid opinions with a logical basis.
The view I can’t understand,
however, is that of people who
support the Vikings, yet won’t allow
any public funding to be used for a
new stadium.
I understand how distasteful it is
to give taxpayer money to build a
sports stadium for a billionaire who
probably has more money stuck in
his mustache than most of us will
see in a lifetime. Unfortunately, this
is the reality of professional sports.
[email protected]
Since the trend
began in the 1990s,
stadiums get an average of 65 percent of
their funding from
public funds.
Why would Zygi Wilf pay $1
billion to build a new stadium in
Minneapolis when he could get one
in Los Angles and only put down
$500 million? Even a guy who makes
Rick Spielman his general manager
isn’t that dumb.
If you think the NFL won’t let the
Vikings relocate to another city,
think again. The league desperately
wants a team in the nation’s secondlargest television market, and after
this latest legislative defeat, the
NFL publicly commented on possible buyers for the franchise.
I’m not here to tell you to support
the stadium or not. That’s up to
you. But realize that there are only
two realistic options — a publicly
funded stadium for the Minnesota Vikings, or a publicly funded
stadium for the Los Angeles Vikings

Letters to the editor
Why do whiny gimmicks merit coverage?
Nothing is more indicative of the
difference between the two major
parties than how their lawmakers
approached their voters during the
Easter recess.
Rochester’s Republicans communicated with constituents by means
of a press conference for reporters.
But members of the Rochester’s DFL
delegation took part in an open forum
“town hall” style meeting, where
Democratic lawmakers placed themselves in a position to hear directly
from the voters.
Sadly, nothing seems more indicative of the Post-Bulletin’s news coverage of local politics than the fact that,
while the Democrat’s town hall meeting was largely ignored, Tuesday’s
Post-Bulletin featured a front-page
story on the latest antics of a person,
dressed in a goose costume, whining
about how they didn’t want to pay
any taxes.

Internet sales tax receives little attention
The Minnesota Legislature will be considering a proposal to collect state
sales taxes on online purchases as one of the last items of this legislative

This proposal has received little discussion and position development

CROSSWORD /
Thomas Joseph
Frid remembered as conflicted vampire
New York Times News Service
Jonathan Frid, a Shakespearean
actor who found unexpected — and by
his own account unwanted — celebrity
as the vampire Barnabas Collins on
the sanguinary soap opera “Dark Shadows,” died Friday in Hamilton, Ontario.
He was 87.
He died from complications of a fall,
said Kathryn Leigh Scott, who played
several characters on the show. Frid,
who lived in Ancaster, Ontario, leaves
no immediate survivors.
Frid, along with several castmates,
makes a cameo appearance in Tim
Burton’s feature film “Dark Shadows,”
to be released May 11. Johnny Depp
stars as Barnabas.
Though the befanged Frid was the
acknowledged public face of “Dark
Shadows” — his likeness was on comic
books, board games, trading cards and
many other items — Barnabas did not
make his first appearance until more
than 200 episodes into the run. The
character was conceived as a shortterm addition to the cast, and early on
the threat of the stake loomed large.
Broadcast on weekday afternoons on
ABC, “Dark Shadows” began in 1966 as
a conventional soap opera (with Gothic
overtones), centering on the Collins
family and their creaky mansion in
Maine.
The next year, with ratings slipping,
the show’s executive producer, Dan
Curtis, chose to inject an element of the
supernatural. Enter Barnabas, a brood-

representative of the undead. Today
TV vampires are legion, but such a
character was an unusual contrivance
then.
The ratings shot up, and not only
among the traditional soap-opera
demographic of stay-at-home women.
With its breathtakingly low-rent
production values and equally breathtakingly purple dialogue, “Dark Shadows” induced a generation of high
school and college students to cut class
to revel in its unintended high camp.
The producers shelved the stake.
Swirling cape, haunted eyes and
fierce eyebrows notwithstanding,

CRYPTOQUOTE / King Features
SUDOKU / Universal Features
no regulation-issue vampire. An
18th-century man — he had been
entombed in the Collins family crypt —
he struggled to come to terms with the
20th-century world.
He was a vulnerable vampire, who
pined for his lost love, Josette. She had
leaped to her death in 1795. He was
racked with guilt over his thirst for
blood, and Frid played him as a man
in the grip of a compulsion he devoutly
wished to shake.
Frid starred in almost 600 episodes,
from April 18, 1967, to April 2, 1971,
when the show went off the air. (It
remains perennially undead on DVD.)
Frid received nearly 6,000 fan letters
a week. “I wish you’d bite ME on the
neck,” read one, from a woman in Illinois.
Others contained snapshots of the
letter-writers’ necks — and everything
on down — laid bare.
All this, Frid said in 1968, was exquisitely ironic in that “the other vampires
we’ve had on the show were much more
voluptuous biters than I am.”
As critical as he was of “Dark Shadows,” Frid was equally critical of his
performance in it.
‘’I’d get this long-lost look on my
face,” he told The Hamilton Spectator
in 2000. “’Where is my love? Where is
my love?,’ it seemed to say. Actually,
it was me thinking: ‘Where the hell is
the teleprompter? And what’s my next
line?’”

Eyota man runs
100 miles in one day
to help fellow airman
By Tech. Sgt. Stacy Fowler
386th Air Expeditionary Wing
Public Affairs
How long does it take you to
drive 100 miles in a day, or pedal a
bike that distance?
Would you even consider walking or running 100 miles in a day?
What if it was to help a friend and
his family?

deployed from the 148th Fighter
Wing, Minnesota Air National
Guard, it was all about taking care
of someone who deserved it.
“A few of us have deployed with
Soergel here before, and we know
that this deployment will be his
hardest time away from home,”
said Jenderny. “Every time I’ve
deployed with him, he spent all
his time taking care of others. He’s
very humble, and he’s also one
of the best senior NCOs I have
ever met. That’s why I wanted to
complete 100 miles at once, to
raise donations to help them and
maybe take away some of the worry
he’ll have. And even if people
only donated a few cents per mile,
every mile was going to be worth it
because Sharon is worth it.”

While the short–term goal for
Jenderny was the fairly finite 100
miles, which he finished in 22
hours and 39 minutes at 10:39 p.m.,
the long-term goal was infinitely
more rewarding.
“That’s what I want Soergel and
his family to feel. We want them to
know that they’re not alone,” said
Jenderny. “And when he is here,
people will meet him and know
that he is not just a name, and his
daughter is not just a picture in an
email — these are real people they
will know, a family going through
something that will test them every
day while Soergel’s deployed.”

When frozen, the poison in rhubarb leaves stays put
ANSWER MAN
[email protected]
Dear Answer
Man, with the
recent hard
freezes, our
rhubarb froze.
I was told that the poison from
the leaves would go down into
the stalk and, as a result, the stalk
would be poisonous. True or not?
If true, what should be done? I
could not find anything regarding
this online.
Kristin Kammueller sent this after
we went to press:
“Answer Man, right now the
Highway 14 upgrade from Dodge
Center to Owatonna is identified
in the District’s 2019 to 2028 LongRange Highway Investment Plan
as a future high priority investment need. Projects identified in
the long-range HIP do not have
construction dates set because
funding has not been identified.
If funding were to be identified
for construction of Highway 14,
MnDOT will be ready to move
forward with design of construction
plans. An Environmental Impact
Statement is complete and the
preliminary layout has been developed for Highway 14.”
In other words, my guesswork
that it’ll likely happen within 10-20
years was right on, as usual.

ago, I generously helped a reader
who wanted to know when a new
diet center called Medifast would
open in Rochester. While I didn’t
know the location, I had good information from Medifast in the Twin
Cities that a local center would
open this month.
A Medifast spokeswoman sent
me a note, congratulating me on
an excellent column and saying
the local center now is expected to
open in June. She didn’t say where,
but my colleague Jeff Kiger found
the building permit for me and it’ll
be in the commercial building at
2048 Superior Drive N.W. where

West Circle Drive.

NOTICES OF DEATH
Sherman W. Stoflet — Kasson
Sherman W. Stoflet, 72, rose to the Pearly Gates on Thursday,
April 19, 2012, after a short and hard-fought battle with cancer.
He fought the disease with his normal fullforce-ahead attitude until the very end.
Sherman was born in Greendale, Wis., on
Aug. 31, 1939, to Wendell and Vina (Maxam)
Stoflet. He graduated from Marshfield Senior
High in 1959, and from the UW-River Falls in
1962 with degrees in chemistry and agriculture. Sherman married Elizabeth Schueller in
1959 in Marshfield, Wis. After college graduation, they moved to Minnesota, and he was
district manager for several ag-related companies. They lived in a few different small towns
Stoflet
in southern Minnesota, and he decided to take
the big move to Minneapolis/St. Paul. There he became the a
successful commodity broker with Merrill Lynch and Lehman
Brothers, being downtown with all the hustle and bustle but
still had an inner need for country living.
In 1977, they moved to the Byron area and he established
Countryside Builders. He also became involved in the land
development of several local area subdivisions. In 1981, he
started farming again as a hobby. His love of farming grew
into a successful agriculture business. He believed in hard
work and giving things 110 percent of his effort.
Sherman loved to fish and be on the water, whether he
was catching a walleye or just glazing at the waves. He truly
enjoyed spending time on Lake of the Woods and Sioux
Narrows. His second love was hunting with the “Boys” in the
family. He liked to spend time with his family and loved to
tell a good joke.
Sherman is survived by his wife of 53 years, Betty of Kasson;
two children, Tammy (Kevin) Sternberg of Kasson and Cari
(Todd) Humphrey of Kasson; four grandchildren, Tasha and
Marcus Sternberg and Hanna and Dane Humphrey; and
three sisters, Darlene Robinson of Marshfield, Wis., Mary
Sue Holmes of Milwaukee, Wis., and Alice (Tom) Hagedorn,
of Sycamore, Ill.
Sherman is preceded in death by his parents, Wendell and
Vina.
A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, April 23, at

Funeral services for Christiné “Terri” Lundeen-Holmen will
be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 21, 2012, at Trinity Lutheran
Church, 222 Sixth Ave. S.W., Rochester, with
the Rev Jim Kroonblawd officiating. Visitation
will be held from 9 a.m. until time of service
at the church. Burial will take place in the
Spring Valley Cemetery.
Christiné “Terri” Lundeen-Holmen, 54, of
Spring Valley, joined the Lord Wednesday,
April 18, 2012, at her home.
Christiné was born May 26, 1957, in St. Paul,
at Mounds Park Hospital. She was raised
by her parents, Kenneth and Charlotte
Lundeen-Holmen Lundeen in Scandia, and graduated from
Forest Lake High School in 1975. On July
20, 1981, she was united in marriage to David Holmen at Elim
Lutheran Church in Scandia. Christiné and Dave were married
for 30 wonderful years.
Christiné loved to play the piano and organ and enjoyed
the happiness that music brought to her life. She also enjoyed
crafts, making wreaths and shopping for unique gift items. This
passion led to the opening of her own gift shop in downtown
Spring Valley. She ran this shop for five years and took great
pride in it. It wasn’t so much the business aspect of the shop
that she enjoyed. It was interacting and conversing with the
customers that she liked most.
Christiné also had a passion for entertaining guests and
throwing large dinner parties. Some would say she took this
to a whole different level. Whether it was a holiday dinner,
birthday, or just a simple get-together with friends and family,
you could be sure that the table would be set perfectly and
the food would be fantastic (and plenty of it)!
She also had a huge heart for her children and grandchildren and loved to spend as much time with them as possible.
She saw each holiday and birthday as a special time when
she could shower them with extra attention. Although she
had many hobbies and interests and they all filled her with
happiness, it was her faith that came first and wherein she
found true joy and peace. She delighted in reading the gospel,
strengthening her personal relationship with God, and sharing

Hearing delayed
in Eyota murder case
By Matt Russell
[email protected]
(507) 285-7712
A hearing has been delayed
in Olmsted County District
Court for the man accused of
a fatal assault on 44-year-old
Jamie Unverzagt outside the
American Legion in Eyota.
The hearing was scheduled
for today
but was
canceled
after Trevor
Morten’s
attorney filed a motion last
week to dismiss a seconddegree unintentional murder
charge against his client.
Witnesses will testify at the
next hearing as a result of
the motion, leading to the
delay, according to prosecutor Jim Martinson of the
Olmsted County Attorney’s
Office.
Update
A new hearing date hasn’t
been scheduled; Morten’s
attorney could not be reached
for comment.
According to the complaint,
Morten, 38, pushed Unverzagt
outside the American Legion
on March 2, causing Unverzagt to fall and hit his head
on the ground and possibly
a wooden post. Unverzagt
died the following morning
at Saint Marys Hospital in
Rochester.
Morten, of Eyota, has yet to
enter a plea in the case.
In addition to his arguments for dismissal, attorney
James Martin, of Faribault,
said statements made by
Morten to authorities should
be suppressed because they
were obtained as the result of
illegal search and seizure.
Morten has remained in
the Olmsted County jail since
he was charged last month.

ZUMBROTA
Issue of fire truck purchase remains unsettled
City wants to negotiate
a new agreement;
department wants
purchase made first
By Sandy Hadler
[email protected]
ZUMBROTA — There is still no
resolution to the fire truck controversy in Zumbrota.
On Tuesday, the Zumbrota Fire
Board had a special meeting to
discuss what was agreed upon
during the city’s April 5 workshop
on the topic. Zumbrota City Council
members Sara Durhman and Tina
Hostager attended the meeting and
told the fire board that no decision
was made by the city.
Durhman said the city would like
a committee, composed of several
fire board members and city coun-
cil members, to create a new joint
powers agreement before the city
decides when and how much to
contribute toward the purchase of a
pumper truck.
Under the current joint powers
agreement, the city
owes $180,000, or
45 percent, of the
cost of the $400,000
truck. Zumbrota has
saved only $47,000 for the purchase.
Fire Board members agreed that
the joint powers agreement should
be updated but insisted that the
pumper truck issue be resolved
before tackling the joint powers
agreement.
Durhman countered that a vote
should not have been taken on Jan.
25 to buy the pumper truck until
after the city council had agreed to
do so.
Fire Lt. Doug Matthees responded,
“Then our meetings mean nothing.
You can’t renege on what the city
said it would do five years ago.”
Update
Joint powers agreement
Dean Tiedemann, of Zumbrota
Township, said fire board members
believe the current joint powers
agreement is legal, to which Durhman responded, “I’m not saying it
isn’t, but we have more information
now” that could be used to clarify
details in the current document.
“Why would we want a joint
powers agreement the way the city
is stepping all over us?” asked Roger
Ballstadt, of Zumbrota Township.
Tiedemann pointed out that if the
joint powers agreement is updated,
the townships will pay less per capita
and the city’s share will increase
dramatically. He wondered how
the city will be able to afford this
increase if it can’t afford to pay for
a truck now.
Durhman asked if the fire board
would consider postponing the
purchase of the truck for two or three
years. Marv Ehlers, of Zumbrota
Township, said it takes two years to
A DAY BY THE LAKE
get a truck after it is ordered. If the
purchase is delayed another two
years, it would be 32 years since the
last purchase of a pumper truck.
Because of the uncertainty over the
new purchase, the fire department
spent $3,000 in repairs to the secondary pumper truck that was to be sold
and another $3,000 of repairs are
needed.
Rural service
“Maybe we should just have a
rural fire department,” Executive
Fire Chief Ron Horsman said. “We
have paid 90 percent of the cost of
the fire trucks except for the 1985
truck, and you can have it.”
Hostager responded, “This is
getting us nowhere.”
“You aren’t working with us,”
Leonard said. “The purpose of this
meeting was for you to bring something positive back to us, not something we already know. Nothing has
come out of this meeting.”
Hostager asked, “How do we meet
in the middle? Does anyone want
to work on a joint powers agreement?”
“I’m not willing to do a joint
powers agreement,” Ballstadt said.
“This is wrong. I want to move (the
Zumbrota Township fire contract) to
Goodhue. I don’t want an association
with Zumbrota. They are throwing
smoke and mirrors up because they
didn’t put aside money for a new
truck.”
Upon Tiedemann’s recommendation, the board asked Durhman and
Hostager to return to the council
and come up with changes they want
made to the joint powers agreement
so that the fire board can vote on
them. Durhman said that could take
months.
It was announced that Belle
Creek Township, which has five
houses protected by the Zumbrota
Fire Department, will withdraw its
contract and transfer to Goodhue’s
Fire Department for protection.

STATE SPENDING
Bonding-bill dispute topples effort to fund Capitol repairs
By Heather J. Carlson
[email protected]
(507) 281-7482
A skirmish in the House over how
much to spend on statewide construction projects toppled a $221 million
plan to repair the state Capitol on
Thursday.
The Capitol restoration bill failed
by one vote, on an 80-50 vote in favor.
It needed a super majority of 81
votes to pass. All
the Democratic
lawmakers from
southeastern
Minnesota voted
against the bill.
They questioned
the wisdom of
spending that
much money on
a project that
will take several
years instead of allocating more
bonding dollars for statewide projects that would create jobs now.
Rep. Kim Norton, DFL-Rochester,
said she supports the repairs but that
Republicans need to put forward
a more comprehensive, bipartisan
bonding bill to win her support.
Their plan calls for spending
$280 million on statewide construction projects.

Rep. Duane Quam, R-Byron, said

Democrats countered that Republicans have failed to work with them
in a bipartisan way on a bonding
bill proposal that could pass. Rep.
Jeanne Poppe, DFL-Austin, said
she fears Republicans won’t bring

he was disappointed that most Democrats were unwilling to support the
restoration bill. He said the debate
over which local projects to fund
should have been kept separate.
“This is a statewide jobs bill,”
Quam told members on the House
floor. “Now while I have reservations

about the size of this expense, I do
not have any reservations that we

missed the vote
because of a family
emergency. He said
he had been assured
beforehand that
there were enough
votes to pass the
bill, and he hopes Quam
it will be reconsidered.
Quam said the vote on the restoration bill doesn’t bode well for the
bonding bill.
DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has been
negotiating with Republican leaders to get a larger bonding bill in
exchange for supporting some of
their proposed tax cuts. Senate
Majority Leader Dave Senjem said
negotiations continue and that he
hopes a deal is reached. He said he
expects the Senate to debate the
bonding bill on today or Monday.
There is a major difference
between the House and Senate on
repairing the Capitol. The Senate has
one bonding bill that includes only
$25 million for the Capitol. Senjem
said his caucus does not support

W
hen we last saw Matthew
Ryan in these parts, he
was trading songs with
Brandon Sampson, staring mouth
agape at the one and only Charlie Parr and having the time of
his musical life.
“I had a blast last time, so
I’m really looking forward to it
again,” Ryan said of his upcoming
Americana Showcase concert. The
songwriters-in-the-round show is
Wednesday at the Rochester Civic
Theatre, with Sampson and Ryan
joined this time by Twin Cities
guitarist Erik Koskinen.
Ryan, a much-acclaimed
singer-songwriter, has produced
a dozen albums of largely introspective songs, sung in his gritty
voice and often backed by spare
arrangements. His most recent
album, 2011’s “I Recall Standing
as Though Nothing Could Fall,”
stepped out of those boundaries
a bit, and found Ryan singing not
just about his world, but about
our world at large.
“Sometimes you have a
creative process and you do it
because you have to say your
piece,” Ryan said. The songs on
the album address, among other
things, war and failed hopes.
The album shows the strong
influence of U2 on Ryan’s work,
as well as that of Bob Dylan.
“That was really the first time I
let that influence out,” Ryan said
of U2. “I love U2. They, as well as
the Replacements, the Clash and
Blue Nile, were big influences
on what I thought music should
sound like sonically.”
As for Dylan, Ryan said, “I
wish I didn’t love the greats as
much as I do. Those are long
shadows. To me, Dylan really is
a fundamental part of American
music — his humor, his voice,
he’s cool, he’s dangerous. The
important lesson to take from
Dylan is to be your own man.”
That lesson Ryan has learned
extremely well. He has continued
to chart his own path through the
thickets of the music business,
and without much fanfare he
releases a quality album on an
annual basis. He already has the
songs written for this next album
and will start recording it soon,
he said.
“I have a desire to be creative
pretty much all the time,” Ryan
said. “I’ve been fortunate that it
remains available to me.”
After years in Nashville, Ryan
recently moved back to his native
Pennsylvania. The hills, valleys
and Rust Belt towns have flavored
his new material, he said.
“I’m really excited about these
new songs,” he said. “I’ll try to
play a couple of them in Rochester.”
On the other hand, he said,
some older songs will pop up,
too.
“The vast majority of what I’ve
written, I still feel connected to,”
Ryan said. “That’s one of those
things I’m most proud of. I’ve
maintained a degree of integrity
in what I do.”

a breast cancer survivor, the foundation aims
to “help children find a place of comfort and
support amidst the grief and worry in their
lives.”
“When a parent is undergoing breast cancer
treatment — losing their hair, their toenails,
their breasts — it can be especially hard on
tween- and teen-aged children who are in a
time of their lives when appearance is everything,” Rand says. The foundation works to
reach out to those kids, offering support, counseling and “cancer-break” baskets filled with
age-appropriate items such as movie passes,
books, nail polish and more.
Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door;
available at the foundation’s website or by

Time to pull an all-nighter — Set your telescopic sights on Saturn
STARWATCH • MIKE LYNCH
[email protected]
When I
host star
parties,
one of my
favorite
parts of the
evening is when folks get to
look through my arsenal of
super-sized telescopes. I love
to target the heavenly bodies
of the night sky and listen
to the excitement from the
group — the best reactions I
see come from when people
are looking at Saturn.
The great thing about
Saturn is that you really
don’t need that big of a telescope to enjoy it, and now is
definitely the time to give it
a try.
Earth and Saturn are at
their closest approach to
each other for 2012, some-
•
thing called opposition.
That’s when the Earth, in
its orbit around the sun,
finds itself in a line between
Saturn and the sun.
This happens every 378
days or so. The reason it
takes a little more than a
year is that Saturn is also
orbiting the sun, although
much more slowly.
Once every 29 years, and
during the 365 days that is
Earth’s solar circuit, Saturn
progresses about 1/29 of its
orbit around the sun. For
that reason, the Earth needs
a little time to catch up to be
in a line with Saturn.
All-night viewing
The ringed wonder of our
solar system is still a ways
off, at 811 million miles, but
•
•
it’s a lot closer than it was
about six months ago, when
it was nearly a billion miles
down the celestial block.
Another advantage of
opposition is that Saturn is
available all night for viewing, rising at sunrise and
setting at sunset.
After evening twilight, cast
your eyes to the low eastsoutheast skies and you’ll
see two bright stars that are
side by side. The one on
the right is actually a star,
known as Spica, the brightest
in the large but faint constellation Virgo the Virgin.
The “star” on the left is
Saturn, which has a very
pale-yellow tinge to it. You
can try to get a close look at
Saturn with your telescope,
but you’ll probably be a little
disappointed because it will
look fuzzy. That’s because
when you observe any celes-
•
tial object that’s low in the
sky, you have to look though
more of Earth’s blurring
atmospheric shell than you
do when the target is higher.
My advice is to make a
late-night viewing party
for Saturn. By about 11
p.m., Saturn should be high
enough to avoid atmospheric
blurring.
magnifications.
Saturn is basically a
75,000-mile-wide ball of gas,
making it the second largest
planet in our solar system.
This planet’s density is less
than that of water, so if you
could get a swimming pool
big enough, Saturn would
float on it.
Through the scope
Saturn’s hallmark, though,
is its wonderful, intricate
ring system that spans a
diameter of more than
175,000 miles, more than
half of the distance between
Earth and its moon.
An amazing thing about
Saturn’s ring system is that
while it’s made up of billions
of boulders, rocks, pebbles,
dust and ice, the planet is
only about 50 feet thick.
Saturn, like its larger
neighbor Jupiter, has many
With any kind of stargazing, it’s also important to let
your telescope and all of the
eyepieces you’ll be using
sit outside for at least to 45
minutes before using them.
They have to acclimate with
the outside temperature,
or else your view of Saturn
could be fuzzy.
Start viewing Saturn with
your scope using a low-power
magnification eyepiece, then

moons. Through a small telescope, these moons look like
tiny little stars that swarm
Saturn and change position
from night to night and week
to week.
They’re all pretty small,
with the exception of Titan,
Saturn’s largest moon. With
a diameter of 3,200 miles, it’s
even larger than Mercury,
the closest planet to the sun.
As fascinating as Titan is,
the tiny moon Enceladus is
truly bizarre. Liquid water
plumes gush from cracks in
the surface of this Saturnsatellite. It’s believed that
tidal forces from Saturn are
strong enough to heat up
Enceladus’ interior enough
to create liquid water. Who’s
knows, maybe there’s life
there?

ex-wife was unfaithful, and
so was my ex-husband. We

to meet his friends, and I
happily agreed.
“Tina” is a longtime

godfather to two of her
children. She claims to
be best friends with Bob’s
ex-wife. But during dinner,
Tina made inappropriate
advances toward Bob. He
finally confessed that they
had a one-night stand when
he discovered his wife was
cheating. They swore never
to speak of their tryst. This
happened long before he
met me, and Bob says he
feels terrible about it. But
Tina made sure I knew
they had a sexual history. It
took every bit of reserve to
maintain my composure that
evening.
While I have zero respect
for a woman who sleeps
with her best friend’s man, I
am also unhappy with Bob.
He has done everything
within his power since then
to prove that he loves me
and wants a future with
me, including marriage, but
I cannot get past the fact
that he and Tina crossed a
boundary and still expect to
remain friendly. What kind
of man would try to merge
his past with his present? —
Grace Potter has got it all.
She’s cool, beautiful, cuttingedge and retro. Much like the
music of Grace Potter and the
Nocturnals.
“We realized we’re not the
kind of band that’s ever gonna
fit neatly in one genre,” said
Potter in a description of the
Vermont-based band.
Depending on the song, the
band can be described as
playing roots rock, indie rock,
hard rock, folk rock or country-tinged blues. The band’s
concert April 27 at Mayo Civic
Center in Rochester should be
just as eclectic.
That genre-bending ability
has lead to quite a diverse
career, including initially
making a name for themselves
on the jam-band circuit with
music influenced by Little
Feat and J.J. Cale, The Band,
Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van
Morrison and Bob Dylan.
Feeling Confused
DEAR CONFUSED: Bob
has been honest with you,
but as godfather to Tina’s
children, she will always be
in the picture. Do you trust
him not to put himself in
a compromising position?
That is the sole issue. You
cannot change the past. You
can only accept it and move
forward. You and Bob might
benefit from premarital
counseling. He sounds worth
it.

The band has since had
its songs featured on various television shows, including “Apologies” on “All My
Children,” “Kyle XY,” “One
Tree Hill” and “Brothers &
Sisters,” and the song “Falling or Flying” on “ER” and
“Grey’s Anatomy.”
Potter also wrote “Something That I Want,” which
was performed on “One Tree
Hill” and featured during the
closing credits for the Disney
movie “Tangled.”
Before heading to Rochester, the band played for President Obama during his recent
visit to Vermont and twice at
The Coachella Valley Music
and Arts Festival in Indio,
Calif.
From here, Grace Potter
and the Nocturnals continue
their cross country trek, which
takes them to the New Orleans
Jazz and Heritage Festival and
Memphis’ Beale Street Music
Festival.
Then building on its country fan base, which grew out
of Potter’s collaboration with
Kenny Chesney on the song
“You and Tequila,” Grace
Potter and the Nocturnals will
also open for Tim McGraw and
Chesney on their upcoming
tour.
But that’s not all, the band
also has a new album, “The
Lion The Beast The Beat,” due
out June 12 and is scheduled
to perform on the next season
of VH1’s “Storytellers.”

Call it an obsession
Twins
can’t get
job done
Byron grad finds
a new love at
UW-Eau Claire
By Pat Ruff
Yet another early
lead is squandered
[email protected]
(507) 285-7723
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Tony Sigrist could practically
roll out of bed and heave the
shot put and discus farther than
anyone else.
That’s what being 6-foot-2, 255
pounds — and loaded with a
natural strength — will do for
you.
Now, in five years, the Byron
High School graduate has gone
from laissez faire about his track
and field skills, to obsessed.
“My senior year at Byron, I had
senioritis,” said Sigrist, who still
managed a sixth-place finish at
state that year in the discus. “I
wasn’t as into it as I might have
been.”
Well, those days are done.
Give credit to Sigrist being
introduced one year later to
two events that aren’t offered
at the high-school level — the
weight and hammer throws —
for turning that senioritis on its
head. It was love at first throw
for Sigrist in both events, each
featuring a heavy ball attached
by a short chain to a metal
handle. The weight throw is
done during the college indoor
winter season, the hammer
during the outdoor season, in
the spring.
As a track and field athlete
at the University of Eau Claire,
Sigrist found himself with a new
“itis.” This one was the “I-can’tget-enough-of-this’’ kind. Now a
senior, he came down with it as
a freshman at the Division III
school and hasn’t been able to
shake it since.
He’s not complaining. Neither
is his Eau Claire throwing coach
Paul Conlin, who says track and
field consumes Sigrist, whose two
roommates are also throwers.
“Tony does everything I ask
of him and more,” Conlin said.
“He’s become a student of the
sport. He takes a lot of time and
initiative on his own. I think it
really defines who he is right
now. He’s going to be very happy
when he looks back on his
career.”
Goal is a national title
What Sigrist hopes for most
is that he’s able to look back on

Byron graduate Tony Sigrist now competes in the weight and hammer throws at UW-Eau Claire.
a college career that sees him
ending as a national champion.
His final opportunity for that
will come May 24-26 when he
competes in the Division III
national meet in Claremont,
Calif.
Sigrist has been to nationals
three times. His best finish was
last year, when he was second in
the weight throw at the national
indoors. He followed that up
with a poor performance in the
hammer throw at the national
outdoor meet, then was fourth in
the weight throw this past March
indoors.
Sigrist has made a massive
effort to do everything right
this final go at it. That includes
him watching endless computer
footage of his throwing idol,
Yuriy Sedykh, a former Olympic
hammer throw champion from
the Soviet Union.
“For me, I’ve got to put in the
mental effort of studying the
technique,” said Sigrist, a geography major who also happily
endures daily four-hour track
and field practices. “I’ve got to
put in the time.”
At a glance
What’s happening: Byron
High School graduate Tony
Sigrist is one of the top weight
and hammer throwers in NCAA
Division III. The Wisconsin-Eau
Claire senior is ranked third in
the hammer throw and finished
fourth in the March national
indoor meet in the weight
throw.
What’s next: Sigrist has
already qualified for the
national outdoor meet in the
hammer throw, and also has a
shot at making it in the discus.
Nationals are May 24-26 in
Claremont, Calif.
Quicker, better
Sigrist’s preparation has
also been about him changing
his body. In an effort to get
quicker as he does his explosive spins in the weight throw
and hammer throw circles, he
dropped 60 pounds. He’s at
230 now, down from the 290 he
weighed last season.
Judging by his results, it looks
like it’s all paying off. Sigrist is
ranked third in Division III in the
hammer throw, and also owns the
eighth-best all-time distance in
the weight throw, having heaved
it 65 feet, 3⁄4 inches in a meet
this past February at WisconsinStevens Point.
Sigrist knows what it’s like
to win a national title. That’s
because he watched one of his
roommates, Tyler Genovese,
win one this past March in
the weight throw at national
indoors. It was the first time
that Genovese had beaten him
all season.
Sigrist didn’t begrudge his
fellow senior for his time in the
spotlight, insisting that if he
couldn’t win one that he wanted
Genovese to do it.
But now the Byron native
believes it’s his time. He’s doing
everything he can to make it
happen.
“Tony never takes a break,”
Conlin said. “He’s based his last
four years on achieving things
athletically.”
NEW YORK — It makes for exciting,
entertaining baseball, but the Minnesota Twins won’t last long if they keep
this up.
In four games at Yankee Stadium this
week, the Twins built and squandered
early leads. Twice they won; twice they
lost. Many teams would take a split
in the Bronx, but after
blowing a four-run,
first-inning lead on
Thursday, it was difficult to accept what they
had left on the table.
It was starter Anthony
Swarzak who fell on
the sword. “We come
up one run short,” the
right-hander said, “and
I’ll wear it.”
Swarzak
Handed a four-run
lead before he touched the rubber,
Swarzak gave up three quick runs in
the first inning on home runs by Curtis
Granderson and Mark Teixeira, then
three more in the second on a Derek
Jeter single and another homer by
Granderson.
The Twins hung around, making it
interesting through eight innings with 10
hits, but trailed the rest of the game.
They left seven men on base, five in
scoring position.
“It’s as simple as that,” said Ryan
Doumit, who went 2 for 4 with four runs
batted in and pulled the Twins within
7-6 with a two-run home run in the sixth
inning. “We’ve had a couple games this
year where we were a couple swings
away.”
The Twins head into this weekend’s
series at Tampa Bay with a 4-9 record.
Against the Yankees on Thursday they
were 2 for 13 with runners in scoring
position. Even Doumit squandered a
chance, striking out on a Rafael Soriano
slider with runners at first and second
to end the seventh inning.

Vesel becomes a part of Shattuck St. Mary’s legacy
Rochester native helps
SSM capture national
Tier I championship
By Jason Feldman
[email protected]
(507) 281-7430
FARIBAULT — Tom Ward struggled to come up with a flaw in Tyler
Vesel’s game.
When Ward, the Director of Hockey
and head coach of the Shattuck
St. Mary’s prep boys hockey team,
finally did, it turned out to be a big
compliment.
“He’s just a really great, humble
kid, almost to a fault,” Ward said.
“He always has a smile on his face.
He just needed some more grit, to get
a little sandpaper to his game.
“He did that. He learned to be a
difficult player to play against.”
INSIDE TODAY
knows where the goalie at the other
end is.”
Ward developed such confidence
in Vesel throughout the season that
he put Vesel on
the ice at the most
crucial moment of
the season. With
about 10 seconds to
go in the national
championship game,
Ward sent Vesel’s
line out to take a
faceoff in their own
zone. Just as Ward
anticipated, Vesel
Vesel
won the draw.
“I won the draw and we got it out
of the zone,” Vesel said. “I looked
up at the clock with about 4 seconds
to go. (L.A.) got it back in and got a
shot off, but our goalie saved it. Then
everybody started celebrating and I
ended up at the bottom of the pile.
“It was incredible.”
The victory gave Shattuck its
second consecutive national championship and fifth overall in school
history.
Vesel and his teammates have
added their names to a rich tradition at Shattuck. From Zach Parise
to Jonathan Toews, former Gopher
Kyle Okposo to former No. 3 overall
NHL draft pick Jack Johnson. Oh,
and some guy named Sidney Crosby.
They all wore SSM’s maroon-andwhite sweater at some point.
“Every time I walk into the rink, I
see the pictures on the wall and the
jerseys of guys like Parise, Crosby
and Toews,” Vesel said, “and all the
NHLers to come through here.
“To win (the national championship), I was speechless.”
Vesel was drafted last summer by
the Omaha Lancers of the Junior A,
Tier I United States Hockey League.
However, he said he will return to
Shattuck in the fall and play his
senior season for the Sabres.
He has already taken recruiting
visits to three top Division I colleges
— Colorado College, MinnesotaDuluth and Wisconsin — and is now
likely to have more suitors.
“Next year, I know I need to be a
leader and I’ll be in the spotlight,”
Vesel said. “I know (the coaches)
expect me to get points, but also
play good defense, block shots and
do the little things that will make us
successful.”
Ward said Vesel’s team-first attitude, as much as his skill, will make
him valuable at the next level.
“His innate hockey sense, his ability to read and react, is outstanding,” Ward said. “That’s gold in a
player these days. When I grew up,
you played a lot on outdoor rinks; the
game wasn’t as structured.
“The game has become more structured and mechanical — not that
that’s a bad thing. Tyler can play that
way, but still he continues to make
plays out of nothing. That’s what
makes him so valuable.”

Vesel, who grew up and played
youth hockey in Rochester, added
some grit to his natural scoring and
play-making abilities. That allowed
him to become a key member of a
Shattuck team that captured a USA
Hockey Tier I national championship earlier this month.
Vesel, a 5-foot-11, 163-pound junior
center, finished as the third-leading scorer for a Sabres team that
included eight NCAA Division I
recruits. He finished with 74 points
(29 goals, 45 assists) as SSM went
50-5-2 and beat the Los Angeles Jr.
Kings, 2-1, for the national title on
April 1 at Buffalo.
“He’s very skilled,” Ward said of
Vesel, the younger brother of former
Rochester Lourdes all-state defenseman Rory Vesel. “His hockey sense
is very high. He sees the entirety of
the ice. Some players can’t tell you
where all of their other teammates
are. He can tell you where all 10 guys
are on the ice, and he probably even

DENVER — Michael
Cuddyer has settled in at the
plate much faster than at his
new place.
Then again, feeling at home
on the field was always the
easy part for the Colorado
Rockies outfielder.
Moving in to a new neighborhood, finding a pediatrician for his kids, a preschool
for his son and a convenient
grocery store open for latenight milk runs, well, that
simply takes more time.
Cuddyer is off to a torrid
.370 start this season even
as he settles his family into
their new surroundings. His
wife and kids just arrived
from Chesapeake, Va., last
week and they’re still arranging their rented house.
That’s what off days like
Thursday are for, not to
mention playing a little backyard baseball with his nearly
4-year-old son, Casey.
But while Cuddyer may still
get lost traveling around the
Mile High City, once he sets

the offseason. A REAL difficult decision, especially after
being drafted by the organization with the ninth overall
pick in 1997 and spending
his entire career with Minnesota.
“I knew everybody in that

made a lot of friends in that
community,” Cuddyer said.
“But we had to start from

Although he spent 11
seasons with the Twins, he

Petrino detailed affair to
boss before firing
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Former
Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino told his
boss that his affair with a woman he
later hired as an assistant began with
a kiss last fall and ended sometime
in February when the two decided to
simply be friends, according to documents released Thursday.
The details are in 25 pages of handwritten notes kept by Arkansas athletic
director Jeff Long during meetings
with Petrino on April 10 and also with
Jessica Dorrell, the football department employee the coach hired without
disclosing their relationship. The notes
were released as part of a Freedom of
Information Act request made by The
Associated Press.
At one point last October, Petrino
and Dorrell were sitting in a car, eating
lunch and talking and “she said are you
going to kiss me,” according to Long’s
notes of his April 10 conversation with
Petrino. He then wrote: “Kissed on
lunch outing.”
It’s unclear when the relationship
turned sexual, but Long’s notes seem to
indicate the two decided they should be
only friends sometime in early February after exchanging more than 4,300
text messages and nearly 300 phone
calls, according to his business cellphone records. — Associated Press

NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson hit thre
Anthony
Swarzak knew he had trouble
with Curtis Granderson. Not
this much trouble.
Granderson hit three home
runs in the first four innings
and matched a career high
with five hits, leading the New
York Yankees to a 7-6 victory
over the Minnesota Twins on
Thursday night.
Granderson homered in each
of his first three at-bats, driving in four runs, and helped
Phil Hughes overcome a fourrun first inning to secure his
first victory of the season.
Swarzak gave up two of
those homers
in his shortest outing of
the season —
2 2-3 innings.
“He sees
the ball pretty
well off me,
apparently,”
Swarzak said.
“I guess I’m
Granderson going to have
to do something different against him
next time. Maybe I’ll throw the
ball left-handed.”
Ryan Doumit, who also hit
a two-run homer, had a tworun single and Danny Valencia followed with a two-run
double to give the Twins a 4-0
lead in the first, but Swarzak
(0-3) gave it back.
Granderson homered to
right-center and Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of
the year, a two-run shot in the
first that landed nearly in the
same spot in right-center as
Granderson’s. The Yankees
center fielder then hit a soaring two-run homer in the
second.
“Maybe there were a couple
of good pitches in there, but
I don’t think too many good
pitches end up in the seats,”
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “The kid can hit.
You get it down there in that
zone for him, he can turn on a
baseball. That’s a nice porch
out there for left-handed
hitters and he took full advantage of it.”
MINNESOTA
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
— It took almost three full
seasons, but the Minnesota
Timberwolves finally won a
game in April.
Nikola Pekovic scored 23
points and J.J. Barea flirted
with a triple-double to help
the Timberwolves to a 91-80
victory over the Detroit
Pistons on Thursday night.
The win was the franchise’s
first in the final month of the
regular season since 2009 —
breaking a 27-game losing
streak.
“We finally got a win,”
said Berea, who finished
with 13 points, 12 assists and
six rebounds to help Minnesota snap an 11-game overall
losing skid. “We had a lot of
energy and we moved the
ball well.”
The Timberwolves never
trailed and took a 49-31 halftime lead after shooting 57
percent (21 of 37) from the
field. An 8-0 run pushed the
lead to over 20 points midway
through the third quarter but
the Pistons rallied in the
fourth to make it close.
Tayshaun Prince had 18
points and Will Bynum scored
all of his 17 in the fourth
quarter for the Pistons, who
lost for the second time in as
many nights.
“Except for parts of the
fourth quarter it was pretty
good,” Minnesota coach Rick
Adelman said. “We just want
to see if we can turn this
around in the last two games
and end the season on a positive note.”
Pekovic made five of his
first six shots to start the
game and had 13 points in the
first half to pace the Wolves,
who hadn’t won since March
28, at Charlotte. He finished
with nine rebounds.
The Pistons ended the first
quarter by missing 10 straight
field goals and shot just 29

Granderson got two chances
to tie the major league record
of four homers in a game. In
the sixth, he lined a single to
right field. In the eighth, with
much of the remaining crowd
standing, he beat out a dribbler down the first base line.
He was then caught stealing.
In the fourth, Granderson
hit a line drive to the short
right-field porch against Jeff
Gray and came out of the
dugout for a curtain call.
Granderson is the first player
to hit three homers in a big
league game this year.
Associated Press
New York’s Curtis Granderson watches his two-run
home run leave Yankee Stadium in the second inning
Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. Granderson
homered three times in the first four innings of the
Yankees’ 7-6 win.
“A lot of work went into
today before we actually
stepped onto the field. Had
some big issues with timing,”
said Granderson, who came
in hitting .208 with three
homers.
He became the 12th major
leaguer to hit three home
runs in the first four innings
of a game, according to STATS
LLC and the SABR Home Run
Log. Alfonso Soriano was the
last to do it for the Chicago
Cubs on June 8, 2007, against
Atlanta.
Swarzak had pitched better
than his record suggested,
receiving only one run of
support in each of his first two
starts, but he struggled from
the start in this one. He gave
up six runs and eight hits.
“All I want to do is give
my team a chance to win and
when you give up six runs in
the first two innings, that’s
asking a lot,” Swarzak said.
“We came up one run short
and I’ll wear it.”
Twins shortstop Jamey
Carroll made a diving stab of
Jeter’s grounder in the first
and an over-the-shoulder,
diving catch on Robinson
Cano’s pop to shallow left field
in the second.
Doumit hit a two-run homer
off Hughes in the sixth to cut
the lead to 7-6.
“In this park, it’s fun to hit,”
Doumit said.

Spielman narrows draft choices to three
EDEN PRAIRIE — Vikings
general manager Rick Spielman is showing his personnel
staff three names to consider
for the third overall pick in the
NFL draft: Southern California left tackle
Matt Kalil,
LSU cornerback Morris
Claiborne
and Oklahoma State
wide receiver
Justin Blackmon.
E a c h
player, listed
Spielman
as equals on
the team's
"big board," will be the subject
of the staff's intense film evaluation over the weekend, and
Spielman, who has final say,
hopes to decide on one of the
three by Wednesday.
Outside of a potential trade,
the Vikings are not consid-
to miss on their early picks and
need players ready to contribute right away. The Vikings
have 10 picks total, including
three fourth-rounders.
Spielman, elevated to
general manager Jan. 3, can
set the tone for the team's
rebuilding efforts with the
No. 3 pick.
"In the ultimate end, it's
going to be how I feel about
it," Spielman said. "But I also
have a lot bigger picture as
far as where our roster is now,
where our roster is next year,
who we're playing against."
The selection also will
reveal whether Spielman
follows his own message from
a few months ago.
Spielman said at the NFL
combine in February that a
good quarterback can flourish
without an elite left tackle.
Though his comment might
have been perceived predraft
posturing, it sparked debate
about whether the Vikings
should draft Kalil or Blackmon.
That debate continues
inside Winter Park, Spielman
said.
"That may not be done until
we're on the clock," he said.

"What you're saying (to the
staff) is: 'All these guys have
equal ability,'" Spielman said.
"What do you want? Do you
want the wide receiver? Do
you want the tackle? Do you
want the corner?' "
A favorite has not yet
emerged, Spielman said.
Though Spielman has received
calls from teams about trade
possibilities, he plans to wait
until next week to see what
develops.
Most analysts and national
media outlets project Kalil
as the clear-cut favorite, but
the Vikings also have glaring
needs at corner and receiver.
A faction of Spielman's staff
is very high on Claiborne,
who is versatile enough to
play in zone or man-to-man
cover schemes. The Vikings
were impressed with his playâ

Toivonen, Wingers
continue strong start
By Brett Boese

RED WING — The first
foray against its new section
opponents couldn’t have gone
much better for Red Wing at
Thursday’s Early Bird Invitational, but the Wingers weren’t
exactly in a celebratory mood
after standing in the rain for
nearly six hours at Mississippi
National Golf Links.
That even includes medalist Marisa Toivonen, who
survived a triple bogey on her
final hole to card a career-low
74 and top the field by five.
“I played pretty good until
the last hole when I kind of
fell apart,” said the Red Wing
senior who will play at Division II power Augustana next
year.
“(But) that’s one of the worst
days I’ve ever played in. It just
didn’t stop raining.”
The 14-team field, which
included every Section One,
Class AAA team except Farmington, played the first nine
holes in a steady drizzle.
With the thermometer stuck
in the low 40s, the precipitation picked up over the final
three hours and sent scores
skyward.
Lakeville North finished
second at 348, while Mayo
carded a 350 to take third.
John Marshall finished 10th,
Austin was 11th and Century
took 13th.
Mayo junior Katrina Ruedinger placed fourth with a
round of 80, but the Wingers
dominated the leaderboard on
their home course; four placed
in the Top 10.
Red Wing senior Katie
Kesti was disappointed with
her 80, which placed her fifth,
as she continues to adjust to
a new grip, but the rest of
the untested Winger lineup
continued its impressive start
to the season.
Junior Maddie Flack and
seventh-grader Stephanie
Herzog tied for 10th place
with rounds of 85; that number
represents a career-low for
Flack, who had never before
broke 90, but the coach’s
daughter already has an 81

varsity matches. Sophomore
Nicole Schammel struggled on
the back side — as most did,
when the weather picked up
— to finish at 88, while freshman Reagan Haley finished
at 100.
Winger coach Mark Herzog
thinks Flack still has plenty of
room to grow this season, but
his daughter has also drawn
high marks.
“She’s only in seventh grade
and she shot an 85 today,”
said Kesti, who has signed
with Division I University
of Nebraska Omaha. “Just
incredible.
“She’s always in control of
the ball. I couldn’t tell you one
thing she’s really great at, but
she never gets in trouble.”
While Thursday’s earlyseason results will have little
bearing on the postseason
rematch in six weeks, the rest
of the section got a glimpse
of the powerhouse newcomer
that has qualified for state in
12 of the last 14 seasons.

Kalil would be a Arpin cracks top 10 in Nationwide
safe pick, but …
LOCAL RACING NOTES
By Jason Feldman
[email protected]
(507) 281-7430
It had been nearly two
years since Steve Arpin had
competed in a NASCAR
Nationwide Series race. But,
the former Rochester-area
dirt track racer showed little
rust when he hopped into the
driver’s seat last Friday night
at Texas Motor Speedway.
Arpin drove the No. 30
Turner Motorsports Chevrolet to a 10th-place finish in the
O’Reilly Auto Parts 300.
“It was so great to be back
in a race car,” Arpin said.
“(Crew chief) Trent (Owens)
and the guys brought me an
awesome car.
Arpin was one of 15 drivers
in the 43-car field to finish
on the lead lap. He had the
10th-best overall speed in the
final practice session, then
qualified ninth to start the
race.
“It was really good right
off the truck,” Arpin said of
the No. 30 car, “which made
it a lot easier to get to where
we needed to be. We were
really pleased to leave Texas
with a top-10 in our first race
together.”
Arpin, 28, drove for Turner
Motorsports last summer, piloting a truck in five NASCAR
Camping World Trucks races.
He won a pole in the truck at
Chicagoland Speedway and
had a season-best 12th-place
finish at Kentucky.
He also ran seven races in
the Nationwide Series in 2010,
mostly for Dale Earnhardt
Jr.-owned JR Motorsports. He
had one top-10 finish in those
seven races.
Arpin will be back in the
No. 30 Turner Motorsports car
on May 5 at Talladega Superspeedway.
“I’m looking forward to
capitalizing on every opportunity that comes our way and
continuing the momentum at
Talladega,” Arpin said.

PAUL CHRISTIAN
[email protected]
M e l
Kiper Jr.
was on
an ESPN
conference
call on Wednesday talking
about — what else? — next
week’s NFL Draft.
With the third overall pick,
the Minnesota Vikings will be
big players. Minus franchise
quarterbacks Andrew Luck
(Indianapolis) and Robert
Griffin III (Washington), the
Vikings will have the pick of
the litter.
Most mock drafts have them
taking Matt Kalil, the big,
“can’t miss’’ offensive tackle
from USC, and that, indeed,
would be a safe choice.
But Kiper suggests that the
Vikings could trade down.
“Corner is a big need for
me if I’m Minnesota,’’ Kiper
said, “which is why I can
see them very tempted on
Morris Claiborne, but left
tackle is equally important.
If they don’t protect Christian
Ponder, they really won’t be
able to effectively audit his
progress.
“I put trading down as an
option because I do it if it’s
clear a team will give up a ton
of value to get into that No. 3
slot, so the Vikings should
be entertaining offers all the
way. But if that can’t happen,
they should be plenty happy
to add Kalil, a rare tackle
ready to come in and start
right away on the left side.’’
Kiper also said the Vikings
should take Notre Dame
safety Harrison Smith in
round two and Iowa wide
receiver Marvin McNutt in
round three.
That would address some
pressing needs as well.
“The pick of Smith in round
two shores up a significant
need at safety,’’ said Kiper,
“and McNutt in round three
fills a void at wide receiver.
He gives Minnesota a bigger
target and different dimension to pair with the smaller
Percy Harvin.’’
Todd McShay, the “other’’
ESPN draft analyst, also
weighed in on whether the
Vikings should draft Kalil or
trade the pick.
“Just about every pick in
every draft I would try to
dangle,’’ McShay said. “I don’t
see any harm in trying to get
a deal. Why just bury your
head in the sand when there
may be a team out there.
“But why not try, because if
you get a great offer to move
back, and while you hate
to pass up on a Matt Kalil,
maybe you can move back
and fill multiple holes with
three starters versus just one
potentially top of the line
starter at left tackle.
“Now, that’s the pro for
taking offers and looking into
it. The con is, in my opinion,
Matt Kalil has a chance to be
a top five, top seven, maybe
at worst top 10 left tackle in
the NFL when it’s all said
and done.
“I think he — I know he
needs to continue to get
stronger, and I see that on
tape — there are times where
he doesn’t finish.
“He’s giving the effort but
he’s not able to finish and
he’s pushed off a block, or
guys who have good power
rush, bull rush moves are
able to jack him back into the
quarterback a little bit.
“I was just watching tape
recently, you watch, a guy
drives him back a little bit
and gets his arm up is able
to bat a ball down with Matt
Barkley. Those types of
things can all be solved with
improving his strength and
getting bigger. He’s already
bulked up to 306, and I have
to believe with his work ethic
and commitment that he’s
going to get there.’’
McShay has no doubt that
Kalil will make it big.
“He has the long arms you
look for, 34 and a half — the
average is 34-inch arms for
left tackles. Big hands, he has
the frame at 6-6 5/8 inches,
moves extremely well. Has
just the bloodline; his dad
played ball, his brother Ryan
obviously a Carolina Pro
Bowler. I don’t know. I keep
hearing about — not from
Minnesota because I won’t
ask, it’s a waste of time, but
I keep hearing from people
that say that they’re talking
to Minnesota
and that they
don’t love
Kalil, and
maybe that’s
the case.
But I’ll be
surprised —
if they stay
at three, I’ll
be surprised
if the pick is Kalil
not Kalil.’’
Kiper, McShay and the
ESPN cast of thousands will
be all over the draft for the
next 10 days. We don’t have
enough time or space to list
all of the planned draft coverage but trust me, there’s a
lot.
For the third straight year,
the draft will be shown in
prime time, on ESPN, the
NFL Network and NFL.com
Chris Berman will be covering his 32nd draft on ESPN.
The first round takes place
on Thursday, followed by the
second and third rounds on
Friday and Rounds 4-7 on
Saturday.

Greg Biffle roared through
the early stages of his
NASCAR career.
Biffle gave Jack Roush his
first NASCAR season title in
2000 by winning the Trucks
Series, two
years after he
was the rookie
of the year.
Then came
the natural
progression
to the Nationwide Series,
where Biffle
won another
rookie of the
Biffle
year award
and followed with the 2002
season championship before
moving up again.
A decade later, Biffle is
still trying to become the
first driver to complete the
NASCAR title trio.
This could finally be the year
for the re-energized Biffle,
who is coming off a victory
at Texas that reinforced his
standing as the early-season
Sprint Cup points leader.

“When I moved from the
Trucks Series to Nationwide,
it was a huge step. It was
much, much harder. And when
I moved from the Nationwide
to the Cup, I had no idea that
the competition was going to
be what it was,” Biffle said. “I
knew it was going to be hard.
But this year is my year.”
Biffle’s fifth top-five finish
in seven races this season
came in the fastest Cup race
ever in Texas and snapped
his 49-race winless drought.
With only two early cautions,
and 234 consecutive green-flag
laps to end the race, he got a
big boost in the pits from crew
chief Matt Puccia and the rest
of his team at the 1 1/2-mile,

p.m.); Sunday, race, noon (FOX,
11:30 a.m.-3 p.m.).
Track: Kansas Speedway (oval, 1.5

Distance: 400.5 miles, 267 laps.
Last year: Brad Keselowski raced

Texas to end a 49-race winless streak
and give owner Jack Roush his ninth

is winless in 13 races since Johnson’s
victory at the track in October. The
organization has 199 wins. ... Earnhardt is winless in 136 races since
his fuel-mileage victory at Michigan

There will be races on the
Dodge County Fairgrounds
every Sunday for more than
four months, under new
promoters Brian and Mike
Madsen.
The 2012 Dodge County
Speedway schedule was
recently released.
It features races every
Sunday from May 6 through
September 2, with specials
on July 18 (Dodge County Fair
races) and Sept. 29.
Five classes are scheduled
to run on a weekly basis:
USRA B-Modifieds, Wissota
Midwest Modifieds, Wissota
Street Stocks, Pure Stocks and
Hornets. The UMSS Traditional Sprint Car Series will
run on May 6, then will run
every other Sunday throughout the season. On the opposite Sundays, IMCA Stock Cars
will run.
The schedule also includes
two annual appearances by
the United States Modified
Touring Series — on May 27
and Sept. 2.
“That gives me huge confidence,” Biffle said. “I know
that from about the third race,
that these guys, the guys that
Matt had put together, we kind
of held the handcuffs on them
a little bit last year until we
got to the end of the season,
and he revamped the entire
team over the winter.”
Puccia, who like Biffle
worked his way up through
the Roush organization,
replaced Greg Erwin midway
through last season. The No.
16 Roush Fenway Ford had its
only three poles of the season
after that, but wasn’t enough
to keep Biffle from finishing
16th, his worst since 2004 in
his second full Cup season.
“That guy, I promise you,
if anybody can take me to
winning a championship, it’s
Matt Puccia,” Biffle said. “He
never gives up, never leaves a
rock unturned.”
They started this season
with third-place finishes in
each of the first three races,
taking over the points lead
after the third race in Las
Vegas. A pair of 13th-place
finishes are the only ones
outside the top six.
Site: Kansas City, Kan.
Schedule: Today, practice (Speed,
2-3:30 p.m.); Saturday, qualifying
(Speed, 9:30-10:30 a.m.), race, 1

Track: Kansas Speedway (oval, 1.5
miles).
Last year: Clint Bowyer won in his
home state, leading 142 laps of 167
laps. Bowyer is from Emporia. Johnny
Sauter was second.
Last week: Sprint Cup driver
Kasey Kahne won in NASCAR’s
return to Rockingham Speedway,
holding off Turner Motorsports
teammate James Buescher. Kahne
has four victories in five career Truck
Series starts.
Fast facts: Timothy Peters leads
the season standings, six points
ahead of Justin Lofton. ... The race is
the fourth of the season. John King
won the opener at Daytona, and

the Martinsville race.
