There’s work going on at the site, on St. Bridget Road near U.S. 63, but the company didn’t give a timeline for construction and opening. 1B By Matt Russell [email protected] On the Web Ken Klotzbach/Post-Bulletin Mayowood Bridge will be rehabilitated as part of a bike trail project approved Tuesday by the Olmsted County Board.

Or, if the trail were laid north of the wall, it would require Olmsted County to purchase road rights in an area containing some Rochester’s most Mayowood trail project of expensive land, officials said.

A mile-long paved trail to link homes in the Mayowood Historic District to nearby Bamber Valley Elementary School won unanimous approval Tuesday from the Olmsted County Board. The trail along a historic section of Mayowood Road will connect the Zumbro South trail and Mayowood Road trails, filling a gap in the local trail network and improving safety for bicyclists and pedestrians, according to county officials. But the construction project lacks support from some nearby residents, who oppose the county building the new trail on the south side of Mayowood Road, crossing the fronts of their properties, rather than across the street from them. The trail is scheduled to be built next year, opening by the fall. The project, estimated to cost $2 million, includes rehabilitating the 72-year-old Mayowood Bridge, which is badly in need of repair. The roadway of the bridge over the south fork of the Zumbro River will be widened to accommodate the bike trail. Federal and state money will be added to local dollars to finance the project.

Changes under way at one of Apache Mall’s major tenants will peak Sept. 9, when Marshall Field’s leaves the Rochester retail scene and Macy’s has its grand opening. Frequent shoppers might have noticed changes at Marshall Field’s in recent weeks: Aisles have been widened, several new clothing, linens and houseware brands have been brought in, Macy’s gift cards are on sale, and Macy’s credit cards have arrived in the mail. Contractors started pulling down exterior Marshall Field’s signs last week and replacing them with Macy’s signs, a job that might be spaced out over another Ofori-Atta week or so, according to store manager Eric Ofori-Atta. Marshall Field’s banners will cover the exterior Macy’s signs until Sept. 8, said Natalie Bushaw, a spokeswoman for Macy’s North in Minneapolis, a division of Federated Department Stores Inc.

A $1,000 gift card will be given at random to a customer who spends the $10 gift card on Sept. 9. Macy’s prices are comparable to Marshall Field’s, according to Bushaw, but Marshall Field’s shopper Mary Van Heuklom of Rochester is wary of Macy’s coming to town. “I don’t like it,” Van Heuklom said. “Somehow, I feel that they’re a little high-end for here, maybe.” Natalie Kocer of Rochester didn’t seem as concerned about the change. “It doesn’t bother me,” she said as she entered Marshall Field’s last week. “I think they’re pretty comparable. Macy’s is a new name to me, and Marshall Field’s is an old name.” The county studied seven schemes for building the trail, including various north-and-south alignments and even converting Mayowood Road for one-way car traffic. County Engineer Mike Sheehan said a north-side alignment was tricky to consider because there is no room to build a trail between the road and the stone wall. And, if the trail were laid on the far side of the wall, away from the road, he said, it might be just far enough off the beaten track to make it unattractive to the walkers, joggers and bicyclists it is intended to serve, he said. In public meetings in October and March, south-side residents told offi“We’re looking at this basically as a cials they’d prefer a north-side trail in safety project,” Sheehan said. order to minimize tree losses on their “There’s no place for joggers and side of the road and to avoid potential walkers to get off the roadway.” SPORTS TALKERS President Ford at Mayo for testing, evaluation Gerald Ford’s office confirmed the former commander in chief is being seen at Mayo Clinic, but it wouldn’t say anything more than that it’s for “testing and evaluation.” Ford, 93, is the oldest living former president. He became president in 1974 upon the resignation of Richard Nixon. 2A Country singer accused in bear-killing episode Country singer Troy Lee Gentry appeared in U.S. District Court in Duluth on Tuesday, accused of killing a tame black bear that federal officials say he tagged as killed in the wild. Gentry, of Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin Greenly of Sandstone, Minn., are indicted for conspiring to violate the Lacey Act by falsely tagging a tame black bear as killed in the wild. Gentry is half of the singing duo Montgomery Gentry, a top country act since the late 1990s. 3A Juvenile jail cuts staff because of budget deficit As many as eight youth counselors at Many Rivers Juvenile Detention Center in Rochester will be laid off next month in an effort to correct chronic fiscal deficits there. The regional center is run by Olmsted County and used by several other counties in the region to temporarily house juvenile offenders. It has lost about $2 million since it opened in 1997. The projected deficit this year is $500,000. 2A District to swap lights The metal halide lights in Rochester public school gyms pose a danger to students, staff and the public and should be replaced during the next couple of years, says the district’s business services department. 5A AMUSEMENTS THE SUSHI AND EVIAN DIET: Three Mexican fishermen who have been adrift in the Pacific Ocean for months say they survived their ordeal by eating raw fish and drinking rain water.

Committee on Urban Design & Environment, City Hall, Room 320, 201 Fourth St. S.E., Rochester. 11:30 a.m. Gerald Ford at Mayo for tests From staff and wire reports Satellite trucks converged on Rochester Tuesday and today to report on former President Ford’s admission to Mayo Clinic for unspecified “testing and evaluation.” Ford’s office released a statement saying the 93-year-old former chief executive was admitted Tuesday, but it disclosed little else about the reason for his hospital stay. The clinic in Ford Rochester offered no additional details. Despite the lack of details, television news stations, such as CNN and Fox News, broadcast live from Rochester this morning. “No further releases or updates are anticipated prior to early next week,” according to the statement issued from Ford’s office in Beaver Creek, Colo. Ford also has a home in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Mayo Clinic spokesman John Murphy confirmed that Ford was admitted Tuesday but said he had no further information. A message seeking comment from Ford’s chief of staff, Penny Circle, was not immediately returned. Lee Simmons, a California friend of the former president, said he heard in the last two days that Ford was planning to receive a series of tests for various “medical problems.” He didn’t have details but said he believed the tests had been planned in advance. “He does have some medical problems … I did hear that they want to do a series of tests to make sure he’s OK and improve his quality of life,” Simmons, of Palm Desert, said in a telephone interview. From staff reports Elizabeth Nida/Post-Bulletin The driver of a vehicle traveling eastbound on Interstate 90 was transported by helicopter to Saint Marys Hospital in Rochester on Tuesday after his car struck the Mower County Road 15 overpass east of Dexter. The driver was in fair condition this morning. 8 youth counselors will lose their jobs By Jeffrey Pieters [email protected] As many as eight youth counselors at Many Rivers Juvenile Detention Center will be laid off next month in an effort to correct chronic fiscal deficits there. The regional center, run by Olmsted County but used by several other counties in the region to temporarily house juvenile offenders, has lost an estimated $2 million since it opened in 1997. The projected deficit this year was $500,000. Olmsted County was solely responsible for those losses, and county officials met with their counterparts in the neighboring counties in recent months to discuss forming cost-sharing partnerships that would have allowed them to keep the center open without cutting services. Because no counties stepped up, the Olmsted County Board voted 7-0 on Tuesday to cut eight of the center’s 24 beds — the eight beds making up the center’s Holdover Program — and a corresponding number of staff members. Olmsted also will terminate member- ship contracts with neighboring counties and raise the nightly rate those counties are charged to $288, from $215. Olmsted County’s own rate will rise to $246 per night. The steps are intended to cut Many Rivers’ deficit to a more-acceptable figure — about $100,000, based on occupancy rates year-to-date. Recommending staff cuts was not a painless chore, said Paul Fleissner, the county’s director of community services. “I find it really difficult that we’re in this position, but that’s what faces us,” he said. “I don’t have time to wait anymore, and I’ve certainly had no takers to help with the problem.” Of the eight youth counselors being laid Fleissner off, perhaps three to five of them can be placed in new jobs within Olmsted County, Fleissner said. The remaining ones probably can rely on a $20,000 severance package, typical of that given to other employees in past layoffs, said County Administrator Richard Devlin. The county board would have to approve the severance payments. Mark Anderson, one of the eight counselors losing his job, said he is disappointed and upset after working for Olmsted County for the past decade. “We have a lot of good-quality people out there, and some of them are losing their jobs,” Anderson said. “After 10 years of service to the county, I’m one of them.” Despite his greater seniority in various positions in the county government, Anderson, 38, has less seniority in his current position, and has less seniority with the union representing the youth counselors, than most of his younger co-workers. That’s why he’s among the eight who are feeling the ax. The county will close the eight-bed Holdover Program on Aug. 24, said Mike Sinner, Many Rivers’ program manager. It plans to issue a layoff notice to the eight employees the following day, with those employees scheduled to lose their jobs by Sept. 18. Hormel Institute seeks help for expansion By Tim Ruzek [email protected] Hormel Institute has asked Mower County and the city of Austin for financial help with an expansion of its cancer-research facility, according to a county board member.

He’s talking, his mind is sharp … he’s eating, talking to his family,” Simmons said. Ford spent a few days in Colorado’s Vail Valley Medical Center last month due to shortness of breath. In January, he was hospitalized for 12 days in Rancho Mirage for treatment of pneumonia. Five years ago, Ford suffered two small strokes and spent about a week in a hospital. Ford became the nation’s oldest living former president after the death of Ronald Reagan in 2004. Ford was House minority leader when President Nixon chose him to replace the resigned Spiro Agnew as vice president in 1973. Ford became president on Aug. 9, 1974, when Nixon resigned amid the Watergate scandal. Man in fair condition after crash At a Mower County Board meeting on Tuesday, board member Richard Cummings said institute officials requested grants from the county and city at an Aug. 2 presentation on the expansion. The project, he said, will add 100 jobs to the northeast Austin institute, which is part of the University of Minnesota. To submit a calendar item Randi Kallas, City Editor, 285-7729 e-mail: [email protected] After the meeting, Cummings said the institute asked the city and county each for $500,000. Hormel Institute hopes the city and county choose to financially support the expansion, institute spokeswoman Gail Dennison said later Tuesday. “It’s going to be wonderful for the community, and it deserves the community’s support,” Dennison said. Dennison, who wasn’t at the board meeting, declined to give the project’s details. Those will be announced Monday during the institute’s scheduled groundbreaking ceremony. The county finance committee will look into the request and give the board its recommendation, Cummings said. If the project could bring 100 “prestigious” jobs to the area, the county should fully look at the economic-development potential, board member Garry Ellingson said. City of Austin staff members are looking at options to help with the institute’s expansion, Finance Director Tom Dankert said. Dankert expected to have information ready for the Austin City Council within a week or so. A presentation on the Hormel Institute and its request has been set tentatively for Aug. 28 for the council and Austin Port Authority, he said. In late January, Mayo Clinic and the Hormel Institute announced they soon would be collaborating on research. The institute stated then that it was planning a $10 million to $20 million expansion and adding about 100 researchers to its existing staff of 90. In the past three years, the institute’s payroll has more than doubled from 40. Hormel Institute facts • Created in 1942 by an agreement between The Hormel Foundation and the University of Minnesota. • Current facility was built in 1960. • Hormel Foundation and the National Institutes of Health give the institution most of its funding. • Focus has been on foodbased compounds used for cancer prevention. • Ground-breaking ceremony for expansion has been set for Monday. • Zigang Dong is the facility’s executive director.

Gentry, 39, of Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin Greenly, 46, of Sandstone, are both indicted for conspiring to violate the Lacey Act by falsely tagging a tame black bear as killed in the wild. Gentry is half of the singing duo Montgomery Gentry, a top country act since the late 1990s. Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide who owns the Minnesota Wildlife connection in Sandstone. According to the charges, Gentry shot the bear in an enclosed pen with a bow and arrow, then allegedly arranged for the doctoring of a videotape of the alleged “wild” kill. Gentry and Greenly made their initial appearances Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson in connection with a sealed indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Minneapolis in July. The government alleged that Gentry and Greenly tagged the dead bear, killed on Greenly’s property in October 2004, with a Minnesota hunting license guide. The indictment alleges that Greenly and his employees guided commercial hunting clients onto the Sandstone National Wildlife Refuge, where he set up bearbaiting stations and hunting stands.

It happened inside noise at 1:09 a.m. Sunday. Shooting occurred during fight over a noise citation Krukow was issued the citation. The officer left to write his report. At 1:15 a.m., another call was received about the shooting. Officers found Krukow and Sanford in the bedroom of Lutzi’s apartment. Krukow told the officer that Lutzi had shot them and that Krukow had been hit by the same round that had passed through Sanford. Krukow told the officer that Lutzi came into the apartment upset and threatening Krukow because of the noise ticket. He said Lutzi pushed his head through a window or picture and Sanford came into the apartment and began beating Lutzi because he was choking Krukow. It was then that Krukow said he heard a shot and his leg “folded” under him, causing him to fall, as the shot went through Sanford’s torso and hit him. A second officer responded to the scene and talked to a 16-year-old boy who showed him where Lutzi was. Lutzi was standing inside the apartment. When asked where the gun was, Lutzi pointed to a shotgun lying on the floor with several shells next to it, the complaint said. Neighbors told investigators they had called 911 about the loud noise and the fight. Seconds later, Lutzi came to the door holding the shotgun, saying someone had beaten him up and that he had shot someone, the neighbor said. The 16-year-old told officers he saw Lutzi fight with Krukow and Sanford pushed Lutzi off Krukow and began fighting with Lutzi. The teen said that he saw Lutzi punching Sanford in the head and that he tried to pull Sanford away from Lutzi. Lutzi ended up in the bathtub. The complaint said Sanford went toward Lutzi and punched him in the head until being pulled off by the other two men. Lutzi ran into his bedroom and shut the door. The other three were standing by the bedroom door. The complaint said Sanford pushed or kicked the door open to tell Lutzi they were leaving. They told police that Lutzi was standing by his bed, holding a shotgun pointed toward the door. The shot was fired. The teen said he was about four feet behind Sanford when the shot was fired. It missed him. He said he ran to the neighbors’ residence and told them to call police. Authorities said Lutzi lived in the apartment and Krukow had lived there for about a month. The complaint said Lutzi told officers he came home, saw police cars in the parking lot and learned from an officer that Krukow had been given a ticket for a noise violation. Upset about a possible eviction, he confronted Krukow, and they started wrestling. Lutzi said he punched a framed picture, the glass broke and his hand got cut.

Ripley Dairy had filed suit in Dodge District Court against the township over a land use plan and ordinance passed by the township’s board in December that restricted the size of new or expanded feedlots to 1,500 animal units. The suit alleged that the plan unfairly targeted Ripley Dairy to prevent it from building. But 3rd Judicial District Judge Joseph A.

It was then, he said, that Sanford and the teen grabbed him and started hitting him. He said he got away, he went into his bedroom, locked the door, got a shotgun from the closet and loaded it it with three or four shells. He said he could hear someone pounding on the bedroom door, and he stepped into the middle of the room, holding the shotgun at his waist and pointed it toward the door. Lutzi told officers Sanford broke open the door and ran two or three steps into the room. Lutzi said Krukow was behind him. He said he heard Sanford say something like “lemme at him” and thought he was going to be assaulted. Lutzi said he pulled the trigger and heard them say they had been shot. Lutzi said he left the room with the shotgun, went to a neighbor’s apartment and asked them to call police. Man seeks acquittal on sex charges By Janice Gregorson [email protected] The attorney for a man accused of sexually molesting a teenage girl has moved for a court order for acquittal. The motion comes in the aftermath of a trial in the case of Jason Dean Ligtenberg that ended with a hung jury. Defense attorney Stanley Nathanson is asking Judge Jodi Williamson to enter a judgment of acquittal that would end the case and preclude the prosecution from retrial. When the case went to trial in late July, jurors deliberated nearly 13 hours and told the judge they had been unable to reach a verdict. Williamson declared a hung jury and released them from service. At the time, Nathanson said he would file the motion for a judgment of acquittal. Prosecutor Lisa Swenson said she would oppose that motion. She also said she would talk to the girl Ligtenberg was accused of molesting before deciding whether to retry the case with another jury. Ligtenberg is charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly molesting the girl between 1999 and 2002. No date has been set for a hearing on Nathanson’s motion. Since the trial, Williamson also has received a letter from Swenson saying she was contacted by one of the jurors who alleged that another juror had disobeyed her order by seeking out additional information during deliberations. Swenson said that juror told fellow jurors she had contacted a relative who is an attorney and told him of the jury’s inability to reach a decision and questioned what would happen if they couldn’t come to a verdict. The juror told others that she was told that if the jury passed the judge three notes saying they were deadlocked, the judge likely would call the jury hung and the state would be able to retry the case. Swenson told the judge that the juror who called her felt the other juror’s actions impeded their deliberations, and that that juror was more interested in sending notes to the judge and getting home than in discussing the case. In this case, the jury was not sequestered overnight, but was allowed to go home and return to court the next day to resume deliberations. Swenson said in a letter to the judge that she wanted her to know the information in case the judge wanted to pursue civil contempt against the juror, or at least to understand that in the future, sequestration might be appropriate in cases such as this. In his motion for acquittal, Nathanson noted that four of the jurors were in favor of acquittal and eight for conviction, and that the eight jurors indicated they did not feel further deliberations would enable them to arrive at a verdict.

Metal halide lights dangerous in gyms School board considers health and safety levy approximately $2.4 million, said Cheryl Coryea, the district’s business services director. Last year, it was more than $3 million. [email protected] The metal halide lights in Rochester public schools gymnasiums pose a danger to students, staff and the public and should be replaced during the next couple of years, said the district’s business services department. The issue came up Tuesday during a briefing to the school board on the district’s proposed 2007-2008 health and safety levy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently began notifying schools that when the mercury vapor bulbs in the metal halide lights break, the short-wave ultraviolet radiation emitted can burn eyes and skin. The FDA recently learned that hundreds of people have been burned this way, some seriously, according to information on the FDA’s Web site. Also, the 2005 National Electrical Code requires that mercury vapor non-self-extinguishing bulbs be enclosed by a glass lens or plastic, the FDA said. The proposed levy would be $875,000 more had Coryea and her staff not weeded out unnecessary budget items, she told the school board.

One Monday, the federal Surface Transportation Board rejected arguments lodged by the Mayo Clinic, the city of Rochester and Olmsted County against the formation of the new holding company, Wyoming Dakota Railroad Properties, Inc. The new company is to act as a subsidiary for construction and operation of 280 miles of rail line that DM&E intends to build to Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. It will technically become a subsidiary of Cedar American Railroad Holdings, Inc. which itself is a subsidiary of the Sioux Falls-based DM&E. DM&E CEO Kevin Schieffer on Tuesday issued a statement in which he called the decision “another step closer to our goal of creating the best, safest, most efficient and most modern railroad in the United States.” In its filing to the board, and in the statement on Tuesday, DM&E said the formation of the subsidy will help it raise money for the project. It is awaiting a decision by the Federal Railroad Administration on its application for a $2.5 billion federal construction loan, and said the new WDR entity will help it raise the capital needed beyond the federal loan. The administration has yet to say when it might rule on the loan application. “Yesterday’s victory will expand the universe of investors, and will provide more flexibility in structuring some of that $4 billion in private investment,” Schieffer said. The overall project previously won construction approval from the board, but it has been delayed while the DM&E pursues the federal loan and private investment. In addition to building the new tracks, the railroad plans to rehabilitate about 1,100 miles of tracks in South Dakota, Minnesota, including Rochester, and Iowa. Mayo Clinic, the city of Rochester, Olmsted County and the Rochester business community have banded together to oppose the use of downtown rail lines for the project, citing fears that increased train traffic could damage the city's economy and put Mayo patients and staff in peril. In a petition filed with the board, Mayo argued that the transaction raised questions about the responsibility and enforceability of environmental conditions imposed on the DM&E previously, according to the board's printed decision. The city argued that the new corporate structure would “radically alter” the financial analysis of DM&E that was conducted by the board when it approved the project, and that the new structure would make DM&E financially unfit to rehabilitate its lines in Minnesota and South Dakota. Olmsted County filed objections similar to the city and Mayo, the board said. Separately, the city of Dubuque and the Dubuque Metropolitan Transportation Study Area submitted letters voicing concerns about the implementation of environmental conditions. STB Board Chairman W. Douglas Buttrey in June agreed that DM&E should address the questions raised about the financial impact to the company, and DM&E subsequently argued that the change would not affect either company's ability to complete their respective shares of the project. Moreover, DM&E and WDR will share sufficient revenues to service debt, the company said. The board in its notice on Monday said the railroad had satisfied the financial and environmental questions. The creation of WDR “will not affect in any way the environmental mitigation conditions we previously imposed. It is also likely to make the project more viable,” the board said.

Reed said studies show that as much as 30 percent of the health care dollar is spent on unnecessary or ineffective health care. She said the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement has defined best care standards for 53 illnesses. But one major reason that hospitals and clinics have failed to follow such standards is that they are not set up for chronic care but rather for acute, or interventionist, care. • Making health care data transparent. Reed said it’s difficult to access data on cost and quality. Making such information easily available would help consumers make decisions. • Making sure individuals have a stake in the game. That would include providing insurance premium discounts for people who do not smoke and who regularly exercise. Hutchinson also proposes other financial incentives, such as eliminating co-pays for patients who follow best care practices. tenson, that he wasn’t swallowing the drugs that Oak Park Heights prison officials MINNEAPOLIS — The were giving him for paranoid father of a prisoner accused schizophrenia and manic of beating a fellow inmate to death said his son told him he depression. was secretly spitting out the The father said he wasn’t medication he was being sure whether his son was still given for his mental illnesses. off his medications when he allegedly attacked Carl Moyle, In a letter written in the 28, who had been jailed last weeks before the Aug. 8 week after a traffic stop in killing, Bruce Christenson told his father, Rodney Chris- which he told Elk River police he had no insurance.

McNallan was the only commissioner still supportive of the recommendation after the hearing, although one commissioner was absent. McNallan said he didn’t think it would make any difference if the setback was changed to 20 feet.

Teenage girls with names like Tessa, Kyndra, Cami and Lexie live on camera and share all of their dreams and schemes. Most of these plans appear to involve making other girls miserable or stealing their boyfriends, or pretending to steal their boyfriends. When not arranging their “love” lives like the board game Risk or the plot to “Dangerous Liaisons,” these girls throw parties and wonder who will be the most hurt by not getting invited. When I was in my teens, I got around on something called a Schwinn, spent a lot of time playing Risk and passed my idle hours at something we once referred to as “a job.” These kids drive imported luxury cars and charge endless lunches at what look like fancy bars and restaurants. The guys, or rather dudes, on “Laguna” behave in a more timeless manner. They spend a lot of time worrying about their band, their sports or themselves. Sometimes they blurt out things that make the girls upset without really knowing why. Like nearly every teen on “Laguna,” Tessa has the emotional hide and attitude of a woman twice her age, one who has gone through at least three divorces. This is deeply sad, but not terribly interesting. The utter fakeness of “Laguna” and imitators like “One Ocean View” also demonstrates how the documentary form has surpassed scripted television in formulaic predictability. After all, viewers turned to “The Real World” because teen dramas like “Beverly Hills, 90210” had become soap operas starring 30-year-old actors Days” (9 p.m., FX). • On a similar theme, “Try My Life” (7 p.m., r, Style) invites husbands, wives, kids and parents to learn to walk a mile, or at least spend three days, in the other’s shoes.

Will three days change his perspective? Other highlights At top shines the title character of “Laguna Beach” — or is it the stunt double?

The ceremony recognizes actors, stunt people, producers and directors who have furthered the tradition of the Western in film and television. LOS ANGELES — The acrimony is apparently over for the once-coupled Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen. There has been an amicable resolution in the couple’s divorce case, Associated Press lawyers for Sheen and Richards announced Monday after meeting with a judge in chambers. No judgment has been entered in the divorce. Issues before the court were resolved during the meeting with Superior Court Judge Marjorie Steinberg, said Lance Spiegel, a lawyer for Sheen, and Neal R. Hersh, a lawyer for Richards. The lawyers wouldn’t elaborate on the issues resolved Monday. They also refused to say whether a restraining order Richards obtained against Sheen in April remained in effect. Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, after three years of marriage. A Sept. 12 hearing that had been scheduled for a child custody evaluation will not be held and there are no future court dates, Hersh said.

The vocabulary, aspirations and general tone of those in your environment have an impact on your decisions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You develop financial muscle tone by resisting temptation to spend needlessly, but that doesn’t answer the million-dollar question: Should you upgrade your computer now or not? Figure this out later in the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have what it takes to make it in the most competitive realm you’ve ever dared enter. It’s smart to take advantage of training and retraining programs offered at company expense. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not such a bad thing to lose your self-discipline about now. You probably need the rest. Dare to do something really outrageous, like take a nap right in the middle of the day! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find yourself engaged in a fascinating struggle with that someone who has the temperament of a teakettle. The obvious thing to do is to turn off the heat, let things steep for a while, and then enjoy a nice drink together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You hardly ever relax enough to know boredom. You won’t get there today either, but it’s something to aspire to in the near future. Do what you can to lighten your load. The most amazing stuff comes to you when you’re stress-free. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those people who magnify tiny errors and turn them into big issues really get tiresome. You have the opposite strategy, and it suits you well. Set the tone by ignoring matters of little consequence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t have to fight so hard to hold on to what you already have. If it’s really yours, it’ll stick with you. Build a more empowering thought process. What’s yours is yours for a reason. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You probably won’t have the meeting you planned, and it’s difficult to chat with all the people on your list. Who needs conversation when you can speak with a more powerful communicator ... your actions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason there’s no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is because the gold is in the middle -- which is exactly where you are today. Embrace this interesting midpoint in a project, and spend a little of the loot today, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may realize that the challenge you have before you is really more like a teacher. From this point of view, you’re more willing to be molded by it. Today’s lesson is on the topic of “surrender.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need a solution. Though there are wise people around you now, none of them are better suited to solving your problem than you. If your conscious mind doesn’t know what to do, your unconscious mind does. Just ask it.

High energy prices, which boosted Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s sales and costs in the U.S., had a hand in the lower earnings, too. Customers saved gas by making fewer shopping trips. Wal-Mart’s own fuel and utilities bills rose, also. Chief Executive Lee Scott said sales were disappointing at Wal-Mart’s U.S. stores, its largest division. Results fell in line with expectations and the company reaffirmed its guidance for the year, but analysts questioned whether a third-quarter forecast on the low end of expectations meant the company could meet its target for the year. Wal-Mart’s stock fell 73 cents, or 1.6 percent to $44.37 in late morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The company forecast third-quarter earnings between 59 cents and 63 cents per share, compared with the average analyst estimate of 63 cents. It reiterated a full-year forecast of $2.88 to $2.95 per share, while analysts were predicting $2.92 per share. Northwest, mechanics union still at odds MINNEAPOLIS — A meeting between Northwest Airlines Corp. and its striking mechanics union failed to produce an agreement on Tuesday, but both sides pledged to look for a way to resolve the dispute that began almost a year ago. Northwest hired replacement mechanics and farmed other work out to contractors after its union mechanics, cleaners and custodians walked out last August. But the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association has remained on strike, and some members still picket. The union called Tuesday’s meeting “an effort to resolve outstanding issues that are of mutual interest to both parties. The Company took our concerns and indicated they would get back to us sometime next week but made no other commitments.” Northwest said it met at the union’s request and it would “continue to explore whether there is a mutually acceptable way to resolve the ongoing labor dispute.” However, it said that any solution will not impact the replacement workers it hired. In December, union members rejected an agreement that would have classified them as laid off instead of striking, so they could collect unemployment benefits. It also would have included one month of severance pay. Textbook company sells ads to lower prices Selling ad space keeps newspapers, magazines, Web sites and television either cheap or free. But so far, the model hasn’t spread to college textbooks — partly for fear that faculty would consider ads undignified. The upshot is that textbooks now cost students, according to various studies, about $900 per year. Now, a small Minnesota startup is trying to shake up the status quo in the $6 billion college textbook industry. Freeload Press will offer more than 100 titles this fall — mostly for business courses — completely free. Students, or anyone else who fills out a five-minute survey, can download a PDF file of the book, which they can store on their hard drive and print. St. Paul-based Freeload’s numbers are modest so far: 25,000 users have registered and 50,000 books have been downloaded, for courses at schools ranging from community colleges to the University of Michigan. But the company says it is rapidly adding titles and will have 250,000 textbooks and study aids in circulation by next year. It has also signed agreements with three small, specialty publishers to make their textbooks available the same way and is in negotiations with others.

Tween Brands Inc., which changed its name last month, attributes the turnaround to reemphasizing its core customer — girls 7 to 14 often called “tweens” — especially through its twoyear-old discount chain, Justice. The brand’s success helped drive the company to improved sales and record stock prices this spring. The company, based in suburban New Albany, abandoned an earlier line of stores that catered to teenagers in favor of launching Justice, a chain that targets the same age group as its flagship Limited Too stores but with lower prices. Justice announced plans this month to open hundreds of new stores over the next five years. Both existing chains target tweens with colorful T-shirts and tank tops, trendy faded jeans and accessories such as shoes and purses. Limited Too is primarily mall-based, while most Justice stores are in strip shopping centers. The company decided in 2003 to close its teenage chain called mishmash because of heavy competition, at the same time fashions that failed with customers were hurting sales at Limited Too. “We became distracted as a brand,” spokesman Robert Atkinson said. The retailer, focused on driving customers to the mishmash brand as they matured, tried to “age-up” the look at Limited Too with an eye toward girls on the older end of its range. But that missed the brand’s average customer, who’s about 10, Atkinson said. So it was out with mishmash, in with Justice, the chain that launched in January 2004 and is named for Rayden’s now 14-year-old daughter. Associated Press Justice salesperson Ashley Kuhn helps eight-year-old Alexandria Cookson pick out a new dance outfit at a Justice store. Justice now has about 115 stores across the country. The company plans to add 65 to 70 this year and about 100 stores annually for the next five years, Rayden said. The company eventually hopes to have 800 to 900 Justice stores across the United States and Canada. In the quarter ended April 29, sales for the chain at stores open at least a year — considered a key indicator of a retailer’s strength — were up 30 percent from 2005, the company said. Same-store sales at Tween Brands were up 10 percent overall, helping the company’s profit increase 58 percent, to $11.7 million from $7.4 million over the previous year. The stock reached a record high of $36.63 in April, then climbed to $43.34 on the New York Stock Exchange before cooling off. Shares closed at $38.02 in trading Tuesday. What’s helped drive Justice’s performance is the location of the stores, said Chris Boring, president of Boulevard Strategies, a Columbus-based retail consulting firm. “The American shopper is shopping a lot more outside the malls than they were in the past,” he said, adding the company will have plenty of options for real estate as it expands. Justice is reaching out to customers at home this summer by mailing about 1 million copies of a new “catazine” — part magazine, part catalog. The chain also started hosting in-store birthday parties in April, offering themes like “rock idol” and “movie star.” By June, the chain was averaging 157 parties involving about 1,100 girls a week at the 112 stores then open, Atkinson said. Putting the focus on the tween girl is a strategy the company also used for success after Rayden joined Limited Too a decade ago, when the chain was still part of former parent Limited Brands — owner of Bath & Body Works and Victoria’s Secret. “It was around for almost 10 years serving Mom until I got here in 1996,” Rayden said. Pawlenty: State is adding jobs more than twice as fast as nation Associated Press ST. PAUL — Minnesota added 11,600 jobs in July to extend a streak of job growth to 13 months, the state Department of Employment and Economic Development reported Tuesday, even as the state’s unemployment rate climbed. That’s on top of 32,900 jobs gained during the second quarter. Still, the state’s unemployment rate rose in July to 3.8 percent from 3.6 percent in June. That’s mostly because 6,100 more people started looking for work — the first increase in the labor force since February, the department said. The national unemployment rate also rose two-tenths of a percent in July, to 4.8 percent. Gov. Tim Pawlenty said unadjusted numbers show Minnesota added 79,250 jobs over the last 12 months, apparently setting a state record. He said the state is adding jobs more than twice as fast as the nation as a whole.

RCTC, however, chose to make its own policy much more restrictive than the state mandate. The state policy was changed to address an uncollected student tuition debt of $20 million from a student body of 238,546. No doubt about it, in aggregate, this is a sizable figure. Still, total fees and tuition for the entire MnSCU system last year was a whopping $607.38 million. Most students clearly pay their bills. Locally, RCTC has 7,790 students and ends up with, last year, about $400,000 in uncollected debt. A spokesperson for the administration suggests this figure could come from between 88 and 100 students who fail to pay their tuition and fee bills; however, finance experts at the college suggest student counts is a less accurate measurement method than a straight dollar figure for uncollected debt. The $400,000 figure seems big, but the gross tuition and fee collection for RCTC was $17 million for last year. It’s right to initiate policies that work to control bad debt, but the ratio of uncollected tuition and fees to total collections hardly calls for a policy that cuts 324 students from registration rolls. Even more odd is that the new RCTC policy doesn’t necessarily address the problem of how to reduce the bad debt or the related problem of registered students who force the college to gear up by adding courses and staff. The new policy asks students to make arrangements for paying their bills, just like in the past. Even with these new “arrangements,” some students will fail to pay. There will still be students who register, make the required early payment arrangements, forcing the college to staff up, but then choose not to come to RCTC. There are some unanswered questions and statistics that could support RCTC’s new policy. For example, how many students register, forcing the college to staff up, but never come to class? Such no-show students are summarily dropped, and they don’t contribute to the bad debt situation, but they do contribute to excess staff expenses. As of last week, RCTC did not have any statistics on these noshows. It hardly seems right to force the entire student body to jump through hoops to solve a problem that could be coming from only 88 to 100 students out of 7,790 at RCTC. No-show registrations might be a partial explanation. RCTC should rethink its new, extra tough, registration policy because there is little evidence the attempt to make a more efficient system offers gains that offset the burdens the new policy puts on the student population. Satire? No, this isn’t funny Satire is my favorite form of humor. In the hands of its most deft practitioners, it makes the ridiculous so plain, the idiotic so obvious, that you cannot help but laugh. Take “All in the Family” as a sterling example. Literalminded folks may have taken umbrage at Archie Bunker’s litany of racial, ethnic and religious insults, but we who fancied ourselves hip got the message, understood that the point was not to further bigotry but to make us see how absurd bigotry was. So yeah, I love a good satire. But “Woofie Loves Snoop” is not a good satire. Granted, I say that sight unseen. The cartoon, an episode of MTV2’s recent animated series, “Where My Dogs At?” is not airing presently and the network, under fire from critics incensed by the program, has not decided whether it will ever be repeated. So I’m forced to rely on press reports. But they paint a vivid picture. “Where My Dogs At?” chronicles the misadventures of two stray canines who offer, or so it says on the Web site, a “hilariously uncensored dog’s-eye view of celebrity and pop culture insanity.” The episode that created the uproar had a look-a-like of the rapper Snoop Dogg, who strolls into a pet store leading two black women. The women are wearing leashes. They walk on all fours. And from there, it gets worse. The women squat on their haunches scratching themselves and, upon departure, one leaves an odoriferous souvenir — that is to say, excrement — on the floor. This, it seems necessary to remind you, is meant to be funny. Not everybody gets the joke. To the contrary, the thing has drawn howls of protest from a number of prominent blacks, including New York Daily News columnist Stanley Crouch, who condemned the cartoon for perpetuating “misogynist and dehumanizing” imagery. I agree. But I’m also intrigued by MTV’s defense of the cartoon. The network, whose president is herself a black woman, issued a statement saying that “Woofie” was intended TOMORROW as a parody of an actual incident where the real Snoop Dogg showed up at an awards show accompanied by women Leonard wearing chains and collars. “We certainly do not conPitts done Snoop’s actions and the goal was to take aim at that incident for its insensitivity and outrageousness,” said MTV. In other words: We didn’t mean to be taken seriously. We were doing satire. Some would say it’s a disingenuous explanation and maybe it is. But consider the implications if it is not. I love a good satire — did I mention that already? — but for me, this episode stands as stark evidence that our world is becoming ever more satire proof. Or, perhaps more accurately, ever more self-satirizing. I mean, if satire is defined as exaggerating the real in order to show its absurdities, what do you do when the real is a man who leads women around on a leash? Where do you go with that? How do you make it more ridiculous than it already is? Satire draws in broad strokes. It argues by caricature. But increasingly the social and political life of this country is nothing but broad strokes, nothing but caricature. From the semen-stained dress of a few years back, to the malaprop-ridden man in the White House; to the senator who says the Internet is a series of tubes, to the game show that requires you to eat worms; to Paris Hilton to Nicole Richie to no bottled water on airplanes, real life has become ridiculous and outrageous to a degree that makes parody superfluous. At the very least it makes parody more difficult while simultaneously giving moral cover to hacks who use parody as little more than an excuse to be mean and crude. Archie Bunker left the building long ago and “Woofie” is a poor substitute. MTV, for all the high-mindedness of its stated purpose, is committing the sin it claims to abhor. As they say in my neighborhood, ha ha hell. You can laugh if you want to. Some of us know when we’re being had. Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Letters to the editor ‘Re-elect’ complaint disingenuous Nelson’s language deceptive For all the talk that Republicans are about to experience electoral defeat at all levels of government, liberals don’t seem all that confident they will sweep the November elections. I say that because of the latest faux campaign controversy that seems to have gripped southeastern Minnesota. DFL Rep. Tina Liebling and her liberal supporters are fit to be tied over “Re-elect Carla Nelson” campaign signs. According to their delusional argument, Nelson is pretending to be the incumbent in order to deceive District 30A voters into “re-electing” her. How dumb do DFLers think District 30A voters are? In the current climate, what advantage is there to falsely claim to be an incumbent anything? Questioning Nelson’s honesty is a cleverly disingenuous way to deflect attention from the freshman DFL representative’s mediocre record in the Legislature. There is no anti-incumbency talk from DFL activists regarding the Minnesota House races in Districts 27B, 30A and 30B since their candidates are the incumbents. Their anti-incumbency bravado, vitriol and slander are reserved for 1st District Congressman Gil Gutknecht. Instead of quibbling over the meaning of the term “re-elect,” Tina Liebling and her supporters should explain why she should be re-elected when the first government shutdown in Minnesota history happened on her watch, why she consistently votes for tax increases and why she is lax regarding the enforcement of our immigration laws. Othelmo da Silva Rochester It’s legal, but it’s not ethical Mae West said, “I don’t care what you write about me as long as you spell my name correctly.” At the Rochesterfest parade, Carla Nelson supporters were given ample warning that her signs were going to cause controversy. What would it have taken to cover up two letters — “re” with paint, a sticker or even duct tape? Why wasn’t this done? Is it because they hoped to mislead the voters into thinking that it was Carla Nelson and not Tina Liebling, who had accomplished so much the last two years? She might be legally correct. I don’t believe she is morally or ethically correct, so I’ll base my vote on that. And I’ve spelled her name correctly. Genny Rice Rochester ‘Re-elect’ is accurate for signs I can only assume that Kathy Castrovinci (Letters to the editor Aug. 10) is a relative newcomer to Rochester. Carla Nelson was the state representative for House District 30A until she was defeated in a rather nasty campaign by Tina Liebling in 2004. Therefore, it is entirely accurate for her signs to say “re-elect Carla Nelson For State Representative.” Just wanting to set the record straight. Howard Eggenberger Rochester Welti instrumental in trail projects Rep. Andy Welti worked on behalf of our local trail groups to ensure that the trail projects move forward. Sen. Sheila Kiscaden and Welti were able to get the Great River Ridge Trail designated as a state trail. This means that state resources will be used to maintain the trail and that our chances of obtaining state funding to complete the trail will be greatly increased. Both legislators also secured a second round of funding for the Chester Woods Trail, which will link the outskirts of Rochester to Chester Woods and then connect to the city of Eyota and beyond. Welti’s opponent was unable to secure funding or designation for the trails when he was in office. Michael Wojcik Rochester Carla Nelson’s response to allegations of deceptive campaign practices by putting up old campaign signs was that it would be “wasteful” to throw out hundreds of lawn signs over terminology that she has been told was correct. This suggests Nelson is merely using these signs because she had them lying around, not because she is trying to incorrectly insinuate she is the incumbent. This is Nelson’s third campaign for the same seat. The first time she ran her signs did not say “re-elect.” If she wants to reuse signs she could reuse her signs from the first campaign. Based on her own assertion, she must agree that printing new signs for her second campaign was throwing out hundreds of signs over terminology. The cost and waste didn’t seem to trouble her then. If Nelson wants to claim that she believes putting these signs up is correct, so be it. But to claim she has engaged in this activity to conserve resources is disingenuous. Again, Nelson is engaging in the kind of deception that is the reason our community should REELECT Tina Liebling. Pam King Rochester Our word counts in America America is great place, and politics in action is awesome. I had the opportunity to serve as a delegate to the Republican Party Endorsement Convention for District 28. I consider our country to be blessed, where freedom of expression and the vote of the people count. Delegates were called to vote numerous times until a candidate had the votes needed for the endorsement. The challenge came when a candidate sought to withdraw his name from the vote after the chair of the convention called the floor for what turned out to be the final vote. It is unique in this country so grand that one can approach the floor in the midst of a final vote and, in such a system of tolerance, grant this candidate from withdrawing his name from the Senate nomination. The candidate for the Republican nomination was confirmed by the vote of the delegates. What an honor to cast that vote. America is a country of free expression, and in this convention, freedom came in the expression of voting. I am honored to be able have served in this process where words are true and the voice of the people count by voting. Thanks Minnesota and America for the freedom to speak and to be a part of what makes this country great — our word. Michael Kopp Pine Island Rubin understands bigger picture I encourage the citizens of Rochester to get to know Cory Rubin, a candidate for City Council (Ward 3, Northwest). Cory creatively formulates and implements ideas. Part of Cory’s campaign is to promote public awareness and energy efficiency. Cory planned and drummed up support for a group bicycle ride from northwest Rochester to the Downtown Farmers’ Market to promote energy-efficient transportation of people and food. Cory has spoken to local growers, and they agree a year-round market is needed, which Cory intends to continue exploring, with a possible peripheral location in Ward 3. As an educator, Cory Rubin is resourceful, innovative and well-informed, always seeking an effective, efficient approach to present a concept for prime success in learning by his students. As a scientist, Cory approaches issues logically and with an understanding of the bigger picture in which an issue fits. These daily practices for Cory’s life, both in and out of the classroom, poise him as a prime city council member. Cory will benefit the council with his resourceful, well-researched approach to issues, and he will benefit the public by increasing awareness and implementation of issues important to Rochester citizens. Get involved to help Cory work for “… a Brighter, Greener Rochester.” Jennifer Rubin Rochester George Will says the Bush administration seems eager to “repel all but the delusional” regarding the Iraq war. 12A POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com Wednesday, August 16, 2006 ✩ POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com Local/Region demeanor domestic assault and misdemeanor disorderly A man who was burned conduct. over 40 percent of his body in He is accused of assaulting January when the makeshift his ex-wife at his residence shelter he was living in caught Friday.

B ✩ Xxxday, Xxx ##, 2006 POST-BULLETIN Deal finished for a new Lowe’s store By Jeff Kiger Shoppes on Maine plans [email protected] The deal is done, the sign is up and Lowe’s Home Improvement is ready is pour $18.5 million into a Rochester store. Lowe’s spokeswoman Karen Cobb confirms that the Mooresville, N.C.-based home improvement retailer, the second largest in the country after Home Depot, closed a deal Monday to build a 117,000-square-foot store in the new Shoppes on Maine shopping complex, about two blocks east of U.S. 63 along St. Bridget Road Southeast. A sign marking the future store went up this week, as did several “Sold” signs on properties. “That means about $18.5 million we’ll bringing into the area,” she said. “And it will create about 175 jobs, most of them full-time ones.” She would not estimate when the store might open, ✔ About 30 stores. ❏ ✔ An estimated 747,600 ❏ square feet of floor space ✔ An 18-screen theater ❏ complex ✔ Five restaurants ❏ ✔ Lowe’s and Target as ❏ anchors but ground work is under way. “We will have a formal announcement with all the details in a few days,” Cobb said. As to entering a market that already has Home Depot and Menards stores, she said, “More than 70 percent of our stores operate within a 10 mile radius of our competitor. We do quite well in this type of competition.” Christina Paolucci/Post-Bulletin Construction goes on behind this Lowe’s promotional sign for a new store. Lowe’s had previously filed a site plan with the city of Rochester in May, though the company would not comment on its plans then. Minnesota retail giant Target has also filed site plans for a 174,000-squarefoot store in the same center, just east of the corner of U.S. 63 and north of 48th Street Southeast. The Minneapolis firm has not yet officially confirmed its plans. A movie theater complex is reportedly another major piece to the project, though no details on it have been released. Shoppes on Maine is being developed by Opus Corp. of Minneapolis. Rochester developer Tom Hexum is working with Opus on the project. He says deals with several tenants, including Lowe’s, were closed on Thursday, Friday and Monday. “Now you’ll see a ton of people of the heels of that (the signing of major tenants) come into place,” he said. School design cutting edge – 40 years ago Mayo High School in 1966 was equipped with the latest By Tom Weber [email protected] At 8:05 a.m. Aug. 31, 1966 — 40 years ago this month — 1,288 students settled into their desks for the first day of classes at the new Mayo High School. Or at least they tried to settle in. Given the normal confusion of the first day of school, mixed with a new building in a new shape — circular — there were bound to be some confused and lost stragglers literally walking in circles through the halls when the bell rang. In fact, not all of the classrooms were finished yet. Not even some of the smartest students could figure out the classroom numbering system. And most disconcerting, tables for the faculty cafeteria didn’t arrive until just before lunch time. But the city’s second public high school was open, and not a day too soon. With capacity at John Marshall High School, which had opened in 1958, taxed by the waves of baby-boom kids moving through public schools in the 1960s, Rochester desperately needed a second public high school. Planning on Mayo had begun in earnest after voters approved a bond issue for new school construction in September 1963. Eventually, bids totaling $4.85 million for it were approved, with construction starting in May 1965. The circular design was agreed upon early in the process, as was the naming of the school for Flashback Post-Bulletin file photo The new Mayo High School and the surrounding grounds are seen from the air in this 1970 photo, four years after it opened. Rochester’s most famous medical family. The school was planned and equipped with the latest in school design: a planetarium, science labs, brand new woodshop equipment, a swimming pool with diving boards, and on the grounds outdoors, a drivers training range, a hockey rink and plenty of parking. All of this was wrapped around the space-age circular design. But in the first few days, students discovered that by following the continuous circular hallways, they could walk around several times without ever seeing the classroom they were seeking. In fact, a day before the school opened, a large map was published in the Post-Bulletin. “One key to the $4.85 million facility,” the paper said, “is the room-numbering sequence,” and then spent a couple of sentences trying to explain the system. Nevertheless, the 1966 school year opened in fine fashion and Rochester had its second public high school. Mayo High actually continued relatively unchanged until a major remodeling in 2002. Even after that, though, the distinctive circle remains unbroken. Ever find yourself asking the question, “Whatever happened to …?” Flashback is dedicated to answering those questions.

Vacation problems: Oh, to be on the road again Talk about a crummy couple of days. First, you should know that I started writing this column in the dark. At a desk in the corner of a guestroom at the Quality Inn in Wisconsin Rapids. Typing as quietly as possible so not to wake my sleeping family. This wasn’t the plan. Hours earlier, we were zipping through Wisconsin on Highway 21 — singing to Queen and watching signs for “Genuine Wisconsin Cheese!” whiz by. We’d just spent a weekend with friends at Sturgeon Bay and were looking forward to getting home. Then, at the stop-signed intersection at Highway 13, our van lurched (first), made a disheartening screeching noise (second) and came to a stop (third). This last part Jennifer Koski was the most disturbing. “Crap,” said my husband. “Transmission.” Pulled over to the side of the road between a rest stop and a warehouse-sized establishment called Private Pleasure (“Big Sale on Latex!”), we explored our options. Scratch that. We explored our singular option: Calling a tow truck. Waiting for our knight in shining steel to arrive, my sons and I crossed the road to wait at the rest stop. Our company was a hardcore biker, (I say “hardcore” because not only was he returning from an 800-mile trip to Sturgis, S.D., but he was also sporting a lengthy braided beard.) who kindly asked if we needed help. “We’re fine,” I assured him. “We’ll be back on the road in no time.” Poor, dumb me. By the time we returned to the van, the tow truck was just arriving. Thirty minutes later, we were checking into the Quality Inn, and the driver was delivering our van to the Chrysler service station. Only, as we’d discover in the morning, it wasn’t. A service station, that is. It had been once. But now it was just a used-car lot — and that didn’t help us one bit. As Day 2 wore on, we traded calls with service stations, dealerships, towing companies and the roadside assistance operator. I passed the time enumerating the reasons that no 2002 Chrysler Town & Country with only 50,000 miles should need a new transmission. At 10 a.m., I preached how we’d only buy new cars from now on. By 11 a.m., I vowed we’d only buy used cars with 80,000 miles on them — since that worked for us before WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. By noon, we were waiting (and waiting… and waiting…) in the hotel lobby for a rental car. By then, we’d been told that our van did indeed need a new transmission and that it wouldn’t be ready for days. Day 3 is tomorrow. Day 3 is when we find out how much this ordeal is going to cost us. See, we don’t know exact numbers yet — just that it will range somewhere between the price of the trip to New York we’d been hoping to take this fall and the new carpet I had really wanted to get this winter. But that’s OK. As crummy as my week has been, I know how lucky I am. I’m thankful we had a “car problem,” as opposed to a car accident. I’m thankful for cell phone reception when we needed it most. I’m thankful for roadside assistance. I’m thankful for kind strangers. And I’m thankful for the technological marvel of wireless Internet, which allows me to meet deadlines like this — even when stuck in Wisconsin. Jennifer Koski is a freelance writer in Rochester.

Teen faces assault charges after taking bike From staff reports Robbery, assault and theft charges have been filed against a 16-year-old Rochester boy accused of punching another teen and taking his bicycle Sunday. The teen is to make his first court hearing in Olmsted District Juvenile Court Thursday. He is charged with one count of first-degree aggravated robbery, a felony; one count of misdemeanor fifth-degree assault; and one count of misdemeanor theft. Police said a 13-year-old Rochester boy was riding a bike in Slatterly Park on Sunday when he was confronted by two teens who threatened him if he wouldn’t give them the bike. After he refused, he was punched and the bike was stolen. Police said the victim went to the closest residence for help in calling authorities. The two suspects were arrested a short distance away. It is unknown if the 14-yearold suspect has been charged. Notices of death Daniel J. Erickson, 64, of Vadnais Heights, Minn., formerly of rural Kasson, died Tuesday at his home.

From staff reports XX POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com ✩ Wednesday, August 16, 2006 POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com Nation/World Digest New York City to release more 9/11 calls NEW YORK — The city planned today to release more than 1,600 undisclosed Sept. 11 emergency calls — several by rescuers who later were killed — after fire department officials said they discovered the internal dispatches of firefighters who went to rescue people from the burning World Trade Center. The New York Times and families of Sept. 11 victims had sued the city for access to firefighters’ oral histories and 911 calls made from and around the site on the day of the terrorist attacks in 2001. The transcripts of about 130 emergency calls from people trapped in the twin towers were released earlier this year, only including the voices of the city operators, emergency responders and other public employees. The callers’ voices were cut out after city attorneys argued that their pleas for help were too emotional and intense to be publicized without families’ consent. Thousands of pages of emergency workers’ oral histories, as well as radio transmissions, were released last August. Pastor’s wife released on $750,000 bond SELMER, Tenn. — A minister’s wife accused of shooting her husband to death after the two argued over money was released from jail Tuesday on $750,000 bond. Mary Winkler, 32, is charged with killing Matthew Winkler on March 22 at their church parsonage in Selmer, about 80 miles east of Memphis. She was arrested the following day in Alabama, where she had taken the couple three young daughters, and has been behind bars on a charge of firstdegree murder since then. Her trial is scheduled for October. As part of her bond, Winkler is required to live with friends in McMinnville, 65 miles southeast of Nashville, where she will work at a dry cleaners and be supervised by the state probation Winkler office. “Her emotional state is fragile,” attorney Steve Farese said. “Certainly she’s apprehensive.” In a statement to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Winkler said she shot her husband after a night of arguing over finances and other family problems. Carter’s son wins Nevada Senate primary RENO, Nev. — Jimmy Carter’s son, Jack Carter, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday to face Republican U.S. Sen. John Ensign in November in Nevada. Carter claimed 78 percent of the vote in early returns to defeat political unknown Ruby Jee Tun of Carson City, a middle school science teacher. Ensign won with 90 percent of the vote over Ed “Fast Eddie” Hamilton of Las Vegas, a former Chrysler Corp. supervisor. Carter, an investor who moved to Nevada three years ago, said he’d use his extensive business and political contacts in the upcoming fight with Ensign. Carter “I was a member of the first family. I know a lot of the senators who are in office already. I’ve got business contacts around the country and around the world and those are the kind of things that I view as bringing something to Nevada,” Carter said. TV stations queried over ‘fake news’ releases WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission has mailed letters to the owners of 77 television stations inquiring about their use of video news releases, a type of programming critics refer to as “fake news.” Video news releases are packaged news stories that usually employ actors to portray reporters who are paid by commercial or government groups. FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein said Tuesday the letters ask station managers for information regarding agreements between the stations and the creators of the news releases. The FCC also asked whether there was any “consideration” given to the stations in return for airing the material. “You can’t tell any more the difference between what’s propaganda and what’s news,” Adelstein said. The probe was sparked by a study of newsroom use of material provided by public relations firms. The study, entitled “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed,” was compiled by the Center for Media and Democracy, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization that monitors the public relations industry. Actor remembered for sidekick roles LOS ANGELES — Bruno Kirby, a veteran character actor known for playing the best friend in two of Billy Crystal’s biggest comedies “When Harry Met Sally” and “City Slickers,” has died. He was 57. Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles from complications related to leukemia, his wife Lynn Sellers said in a statement Tuesday. He had been recently diagnosed with the disease. Born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu in 1949 in New York City, he was the son of actor Bruce Kirby. His early work included the 1971 film “Young Graduates,” as well as appearances on the television show “Room 222” and the madefor-TV movie “The Summer Without Kirby Boys.” Other film credits included “Good Morning, Vietnam,” “The Godfather: Part II” and “Donnie Brasco.” More recently, he played Phil Rubenstein on the HBO series “Entourage.” Thieves steal church’s kitchen sink GREENWOOD, S.C. — Thieves stole almost nothing but the kitchen sink from a church after the restaurant-style, stainless steel basin was left outside during renovations. “We were just giving the painters enough room to work,” said the Rev. Wilbert Simpson of the Calvary Grove Baptist Church. “It’s sad to think ... that someone would come on God’s grounds to steal something.” The sink was left behind a building during renovations to a fellowship hall, and Simpson said someone noticed it was missing over the weekend. A cake warmer was also taken. Simpson said two weeks ago someone threw rocks through church windows. “We’ve been having a time lately,” he said. “We are in a secluded-type area, but there are houses all around us. I think (the stolen sink) is more mischief than anything else.” The church is offering a reward for information on the theft. Wednesday, August 16, 2006 3B Brian Sander, News Editor, 281-7420 [email protected] COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS ACT scores 2006 showed the largest score increase on the ACT college entrance exam in 20 years. The average composite score rose to 21.1 from 20.9 a year ago. Percentage of 2006 graduates who meet ACT benchmark scores Minnesota ranks first again in ACT scores Associated Press tests scored high enough to predict they will make good grades in college courses. ST. PAUL — While Minnesota students again led the nation on ACT college-entrance exam scores, a top state education official says there are signs that students need more challenging work in high school — especially in math and science. According to the newly released 2006 figures, Minnesota came out slightly ahead of Iowa and Wisconsin among states where more than half of the graduating seniors took the test. Minnesota students had an average score of 22.3 out of a maximum 36. The national average score was 21.1. Minnesota students also led the nation in ACT performance last year and tied for first in 2004. Nationwide, the high school class of 2006 posted the biggest score increase on the ACT college entrance exam in 20 years, and recorded the highest scores of any class since 1991. While most college-bound Minnesota students take the ACTs, the SATs are more commonly taken by students applying to colleges on the East or West coasts. Although Minnesota Office of Higher Education director Susan Heegaard was pleased with the results, she saw some warning signs. Heegaard noted that only 28 percent of the 41,650 Minnesota students who took the ACT “Once again, this is great news,” Heegaard said. “But we have some work to do if we want to compete in this global environment. If you talk to employers, they say they are increasingly recruiting students from around the world.” English 69% Math 42 Reading 53 Science 27 Meeting all four ACT benchmark scores 21 Average ACT composite score for 2006 graduates, by race All students 21.1 Asian American 22.3 White 22 Other 21.1 American Indian 18.8 Hispanic 18.6 Black 17.1 SOURCE: ACT AP There’s also a question of how much importance high test scores have when students are being considered for admittance to college. Some colleges no longer require applicants to submit test scores. Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter decided last spring not to require college entrance tests beginning with the 2007-08 school year. Gustavus officials reasoned that test scores don’t always predict how well a student will do in college. Both high schools and colleges are trying to groom well-rounded students. “I think the emphasis is less (on test scores) and more on looking at the wider abilities and skills of the students,” said Kevin Hogan, assistant director of guidance counselingrelated services for St. Paul schools. “I think there’s a greater acceptance in terms of looking at students for who they are and their potential as opposed to their performance on tests.” ENTERTAINMENT SPENDING Attendance falls at most state fairs By Monica Davey New York Times News Service SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The cacophony of smells — waves of manure, tractor fuel, all things deep fried — signaled the opening of the state fair here on Friday. Piglets squealed in a pen, sheep tolerated last-minute haircuts, and dutiful ponies stepped around a wheel in slow motion, bearing children on their backs. But attendance has dropped sharply in recent years, as it has at other state fairs in the nation’s midsection. An auditor general’s report found that the Illinois fair spent millions of dollars more than it brought in last year, as it had in years past. Elsewhere, the problems have grown severe enough to lead political leaders to question the spending of tax dollars to keep the fairs afloat. “Nothing is forever,” said William M. Napoli, a state senator in South Dakota, where a legislative committee concluded this year that the state fair’s fate appeared bleak and where some lawmakers want it abolished. “We’re trying to keep a dinosaur alive that’s probably outlived its purpose,” Napoli, of Rapid City, said. Though critics say slipping attendance figures and increasing subsidies show that fairs have lost their role in an era where entertainment can be found almost around every corner, defenders point to their original purposes, to teach New York Times News Service Mackenzie Intlekofer, 9, of Maquoketa, Iowa, eats a deep-fried Twinkie last week at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. about farming and industry and stir a sense of community. Many state fairs say they remain successful. Among them, according to Jim D. Tucker, president and chief executive of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, are fairs in Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Georgia and Washington. Tucker’s group is a 116-year-old organization that mainly represents 1,300 state, county and other agricultural fairs. Skeptics theorize that the struggling fairs are merely facing up, at last, to the swirl of options like casinos, water parks, sprawling movie complexes, malls, theme parks and sports parks. Attendance at the Oregon fair dipped 10 percent last year, in addition to 10 percent in 2004, even as repair and maintenance backlogs at the fairgrounds climbed, by some estimates to $18 million. “It’s a classic marketing and business problem,” the Oregon fair manager, Dave Koellermeier, said. “The product that you’re selling was losing appeal.” Tucker questioned that broad, changing economic factors are harming fairs and said management problems might help explain certain troubled fairs. Besides, he added, fairs have been through ebbs and flows of popularity before, and many have long received financial assistance from states. “The bottom line of why I think fairs have a bright future is animals,” Tucker said. “This generation that’s growing up right now probably have seen more zoo animals than farm animals.” ASTRONOMY Solar system could swell from 9 to 12 planets By Dennis Overbye Considering the possibilities New York Times News Service Leaders of the International Astronomical Union have proposed a draft resolution that would reclassify three large celestial bodies as planets. A final vote will take place next week at the IAU’s convention in Prague. Ceres, an asteroid Proposed planets Earth Mercury Sun Asteroid belt 2003 UB313 Farthest known object in the solar system Venus Mars Kuiper be lt Charon, Largest moon of Pluto Neptune Neptune Uranus Sun Pluto Pluto SOURCES: International Astronomical Union; NASA; California Institute of Technology Jupiter Jupiter Saturn Saturn NOTE: Graphic shows approximate planet positions and orbits as of Aug. 15. AP In the hope of ending years of wrangling, a committee of astronomers and historians has proposed a new definition of the word “planet” that would expand at a stroke the family of planets from nine to 12 and leave textbooks and charts in thousands of classrooms out of date. But astronomers immediately began to wrangle about it. “It’s a mess,” said Michael E. Brown, of the California Institute of Technology. Among the chosen few within the solar system would be not only Pluto, whose status has been challenged in recent years, but also Ceres, the largest asteroid; 2003 UB313, nicknamed Xena, an object discovered by Brown in 2005 orbiting far beyond Pluto in the outer solar system; and even Pluto’s largest moon, Charon. In addition, at least a dozen more solar system objects are waiting in the wings for more data to see if they fit the new definition of planethood, which is that an object be massive enough that gravity has formed it into a sphere and that it circles a star and not some other planet. The definition, they said, would apply both inside and outside the solar system. The new definition was to be announced today in Prague, Czech Republic, where some 2,500 astronomers are meeting in the triannual assembly of the International Astronomical Union. It is the work of the group’s Planet Definition Committee, whose chairman is Owen Gingerich, a Harvard astronomer. The astronomers will vote on the definition on Aug. 25. “This will be the talk of the town in Prague,” said Alan P. Boss, a planetary theorist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who said the new definition, with four paragraphs and four footnotes, read as if it had been written by lawyers, not scientists. “I don’t think this is the one were looking for,” Boss said. 4B POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com ✩ Wednesday, August 16, 2006 POST-BULLETIN / www.postbulletin.com XX Wednesday, August 16, 2006 Nation/World LOST FISHERMAN MIDEAST FIGHTING Mexican fishermen, adrift for 9 months, found in Pacific Syria, Iran mock U.S. intervention By Mark Stevenson By Donna Abu-Nasr and Ali Akbar Darein Associated Press Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — Israel and Hezbollah dealt each other serious blows on the battlefield and claimed success afterwards but the real winners could be Iran and Syria. Buoyed by the ability of ally Hezbollah to stand up to Israel’s punishing assaults for 34 days, leaders in Tehran and Damascus were jubilant. Both ridiculed U.S. hopes for eliminating Hezbollah and claimed Israel’s high-tech military was useless against the guerrillas. Hezbollah didn’t come out of the war unscathed as a fighting force — the Israeli army said it killed 530 of the guerrillas — and its domination of southern Lebanon is likely to be hampered by the deployment of the Lebanese army and international troops there. But the popularity of the Shiite Muslim movement appears to have been strengthened thanks to broadened support across Lebanon’s ethnic and religious communities. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saluted Hezbollah on Tuesday for hoisting “the banner of victory” over Israel. “God’s promises have come true,” Ahmadinejad told a huge crowd in Arbadil in northwestern Iran. “On one side, it’s corrupt powers of the criminal U.S. and Britain and the Zionists ... with modern bombs and planes. And on the other side is a group of pious youth relying on God.” And Syrian President Bashar Assad said Hezbollah had ruined U.S. plans to reshape the region. “The Middle East they (the Americans) aspire to ... has become an illusion,” he said in Damascus. “We tell them (Israelis) that after tasting humiliation in the latest battles, your weapons are not going to protect News analysis Associated Press Members of the audience who said they were Lebanese cheer as Syrian President Bashar Assad speaks during a news conference Tuesday in Damascus. you — not your planes, or missiles, or even your nuclear bombs ... The future generations in the Arab world will find a way to defeat Israel,” Assad added. Analysts said both countries now feel stronger in their own individual disputes with the West and that the alliance of their hard-line governments is stronger now, in contrast to the Mideast bloc of pro-U.S. governments. nuclear program, and the stronger that Iran is seen to be, the more nervous its regional rivals get. “Both Syria and Iran have achieved a political victory,” said Dawood alShirian, a Saudi who hosts a talk show on Dubai television. “Lebanon once again has paid a heavy price, and Syria and Iran have once again taken credit.” Arab, U.S. and Western diplomats generally snubbed Syria during negotiations over halting the Lebanon fighting, but they might have to turn to the Syrian regime in the next big tussle, the issue of disarming Hezbollah. Iran might also feel its bargaining hand has become stronger as it approaches the Aug. 31 deadline set by the U.N. Security Council for a halt in Iranian uranium enrichment. Iran says it will announce Aug. 22 its reply to a package of incentives offered by the U.S. and Europe aimed at enticing it to suspend enrichment. A strong Hezbollah gives Syria a window to regain influence it lost in Lebanon last year when international pressure forced it to withdraw its troops from Lebanon after a 29-year presence. Syria, in turn, may feel it can play a more influential role after years of isolation. It had been under even more international pressure since last year’s assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, which was widely blamed on Syria despite its denials. In his speech, Assad lashed out at Arab regimes that criticized Hezbollah for capturing two Israeli soldiers July 12 and setting off the war. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan — all U.S. allies — opposed Hezbollah’s actions at the start of the conflict. Mostly Shiite, Persian Iran might also try to ride the increased popularity of the Shiite Arabs of Hezbollah to make inroads with the Arab world’s Sunni “We do not ask anyone to fight with us Muslims. The popularity of Hezbollah’s chief, Hassan Nasrallah, has grown even or for us ... But he should at least not adopt the enemy’s views,” Assad said. among Sunnis in Saudi Arabia, whose strict school of Islam considers Shiites Oqab Sakr, a Lebanese analyst, said as heretics. Assad’s remarks were tantamount to “a final divorce from the Arab regimes and Arab countries — particularly in the a full marriage with Iran.” Persian Gulf — are wary of Iran and its MEXICO CITY — Three Mexican fishermen who claim they set out months ago from Mexico’s western coast have been rescued near the Marshall Islands — 5,500 miles to the west — after surviving on rain water and raw fish. Eugene Muller, manager of Koo’s Fishing Co., said by phone Tuesday that the company’s boat picked up the three on Aug. 9. Muller said the men were recovering and would be brought back to Majuro, the islands’ capital, in 10 to 14 days. “We fished, and we ate the fish raw ... because there was no fire to cook with,” survivor Jesus Vidana, 27, told Mexico’s Televisa news network in a telephone hook-up to the ship’s communications system. They once went 15 days without food but had enough drinking water because “it rained every day,” he said. He said the three read the Bible as they drifted across the Pacific. “We never lost hope because there is a God up there,” he said, sounding hoarse and sleepy. “Our feet are swollen, our arms are swollen ... but we’re not in that bad shape.” Vidana said he and the other two men set off on Oct. 28, 2005, from San Blas, a coastal town about 410 miles northwest of Mexico City, to fish for sharks. But mechanical problems and adverse winds quickly pushed their 27-foot boat out to sea. “It was nine months and nine days,” Vidana recalled. “One of the guys on the boat “I knew I was going to live, that I wasn’t going to die.” — Lucio Rendon has a watch that shows the months and the days.” There was no independent confirmation of the date when the men set out from San Blas; phone calls to port officials there went unanswered. However, the government news agency Notimex interviewed relatives of the men in San Blas, who said they had only been missing for three months. Muller said the men’s boat appeared to have had engine problems. “Their two motors had been dismantled, and it seemed they were trying to swap parts to get one working,” Muller said, noting that the ship’s captain had told him “they were very skinny and they were very hungry. The first thing we did, we gave them something to eat and they chowed down.” Survivor Lucio Rendon, 27, recalled that “we didn’t see any ships for months,” and Vidana said they were asleep when the Koo’s crew called out to them. “We’re recovering,” Rendon said, “sleeping a lot, and eating well.” Salvador Ordonez, the third survivor, said the three carried only flashlights and a compass but no radio.

Fortunately for me, when things start happening, when the snakes originally show up on the plane, I’m kind of upstairs. When I come down, the snakes are in one part of the plane and I herd people out of there and block that part of the plane off, so I very seldom come in contact with them. My agent didn’t let them put live snakes close to me. You didn’t trust the snake trainer? He’s a snake handler. He’s a snake wrangler. There’s no such thing as a snake trainer. You can’t teach a snake to roll over and sit up. They just don’t take orders. Who trusts that? What else is going on besides “Snakes”? Actor “Afro Samurai” is an animated series Samuel L. that’s going to be on Spike. I still have Jackson to finish the voice work for it and they haven’t finished animating it yet. Then there’s “Home of the Brave,” probably out in December, with Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci, Brian Presley and 50 Cent. “Black Snake Moan” is coming out next year. That’s a good little film. And then you have something with penguins? “Farce of the Penguins.” It’s a spoof. I do a Morgan Freeman role. It’s just like the other one, except it’s penguins on the dark side. Snakes on a screen McClatchy Newspapers Mankind’s fear of reptiles has been exploited by filmmakers since the beginning of film; even heroic adventurer Indiana Jones turned out to be snake-phobic. Naturally, he was forced to confront his worst fears to save Marion Ravenwood from the snake pit in which she found herself in 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” The fear has also been more directly addressed in a number of films that state the name of the terror in their titles. “Anaconda” (1997): The studio found itself with a surprise hit on its hands with this adventure thriller about a National Geographic crew in the Amazon who is essentially hijacked by snakeobsessed, overacting Jon Voight, who gets them all in a beef with the 40-foot member of the boa family of the title. Begat a less star-studded sequel, 2004’s “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Black Orchid.” “King Cobra” (1999): One of the various attempts to cash in on the success of “Anaconda,” this one starred not only the late Pat Morita but also Hoyt Axton, the writer of “Joy to the World,” as small-towners terrorized by a 30foot mutated blend of cobra and diamondback. Like 2000’s “Python,” written by Philip Roth — not that one, of course — this would slither straight to video and cable TV. “Rattlers” (1976): The snakes weren’t born bad in this Mojave Desert-set take; they were just infected by nerve gas dumped by the U.S. military. “Venomous” (2002): More mutant rattlers, escaped from a government lab targeted by terrorists and inflicting serious damage on the residents of a California burg. Not to be confused with . . . “Venom” (1981): Terrorists are the true bad guys here. They bungle an attempt to kidnap the child of a wealthy London couple and accidentally unleash the boy’s pet black mamba, who makes no distinction between hostage-takers and hostages. The reptile-like Klaus Kinski is in the cast of this British thriller.

A: Ken Klotzbach/ Post-Bulletin Subway is building a location near the recently opened Green Mill off West Circle Drive just north of Cinemagic Theatres, according to real estate agent Dan Groteboer, one of the people behind a new development in that area. Last week, Groteboer guessed that Subway was around 45 to 60 days from opening. He said the restaurant will have a drive-thru window. Groteboer said he hoped the development around Subway and the Green Mill will have another restaurant or two, but said he had no further details he could share at this time. Referring to other tenants in the development, he said a clothing store has shown interest. “To be honest, we’re meeting with people that are coming to us and just making sure it’s the right mix in there,” Groteboer said. “Green Mill has pizza in their place, so we’re not out actively looking for a pizza place or something like that. We’re trying to make the entire community out there work together so everybody benefits off of everybody else.” Hot dog vendor adding tacos Rick Murphy, the man behind the “Diamond Dogs” hot dog cart at Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester, added a new option on Monday: soft-shelled tacos filled with seasoned ground beef, cheese and lettuce. Picante sauce is also available. Murphy said he has customers who eat at his stand at least twice a week, and “they can’t eat brats and hot dogs all the time.” Diamond Dogs is located at First Street and First Avenue Southwest.

How can it be good for so many different diseases? A: Omega 3 fatty acids (found in fish, flax seed, almonds, walnuts, canola oil) help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, arthritis, depression and other diseases. It appears that omega 3’s help partially because the typical American diet is deficient in omega 3 fatty acids, while it contains an overabundance of omega 6 fatty acids. Dietary sources of omega 6 fatty acids include: cereals, breads, vegetable oils, eggs, poultry and baked goods. Over the years with changes in our society and food supply, our omega 3 intake has reduced. At the same time our omega 6 fatty acid intake has increased. Omega 6’s (found in vegetable and some seed oils) are converted by the body into several strong inflammatory hormones. Many of the diseases mentioned earlier do have an inflammatory component to them. Omega 6 is an essential fatty acid in ample supply. According to experts, our current consumption of this fatty acid has doubled, tripled or even quadrupled from what it was in 1940. Excess intake of omega 6 can cause increased water retention, raised blood pressure and raised blood clotting. By comparison, our intake of omega 3 fatty acids has shrunk to one sixth of 1850 levels. While omega 6’s produce inflammatory hormones, omega 3 fatty acids produce This space kept clean by anti-inflammatory hormones. When the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is 1:1 or less, inflammation is kept in line. Currently Americans consume a ratio of somewhere between 20:1 and 50:1. This pushes us in an inflammatory direction, which makes us more susceptible to heart disease, arthritis and other illnesses related to inflammation. This is one of the reasons for the current recommendations of eating fish twice a week. Sue Kosharek of Rochester is a registered dietitian in private practice.

This makes a great snack, even a lunch. This recipe can easily be halved. On Monday my school-age children planned to go canoeing down the river. This was a school-sponsored event for students that wanted to go. The river runs behind the school. I decided to take the children but we didn’t get very far. We had just turned out of our driveway and onto the road when a buggy brace snapped by the shaft. This then left the one end loose from the buggy. I was just ready to urge the horse into a run when I happened to see the shaft coming loose. I tried to get the horse stopped and then jumped off the buggy. Our horse, “Itty Bit,” was shook up as I imagine she knew something wasn’t right. I helped her while the children all got off the buggy. Elizabeth and I unhitched her from the buggy and Elizabeth led her to the barn while the other children and I pulled the buggy off the road. It wasn’t too easy pulling the buggy with only one side attached. We were all shook up to think what could’ve happened had we been going down a hill or out on a busy road. If that had happened on a hill, that could make a horse start kicking and also to have the buggy ramming into their back. My husband Joe will take our buggy to the buggy shop to have it fixed. He’s also going to have brakes put on right away. That will help if something like that happens again we will be able to brake the buggy. On Friday the school is taking students to the zoo. Ours are going and I am going as a chaperone. I asked if I could bring four-yearold Joseph along and they said yes. My youngest, Lovina and Kevin, will stay at my sisters that day. Joseph is so excited to get to ride in a school bus and go to the zoo. 0731470658EM Another quick and easy recipe sure to appeal to everyone is this main dish, also made with hamburger but would work well with ground turkey too. For busy cooks, note that this can be made up in the morning and baked later in the day. Sloppy Joes Everyday he asks me if he can still go and asks if he can wear his new pants and shirt. Joseph is such a neat little boy. He won’t wear a shirt if a button is missing. He doesn’t like it if his pants have a hole in them either. I guess that way I keep getting my mending done sooner. Seven year old Benjamin is exactly the opposite. He doesn’t care what I give him to wear. It’s surprising how siblings can be so different. Two-year-old Lovina is going through a stage where she repeats everything she hears. Joseph gets so annoyed when she always repeats what he says and does. Now Lovina is starting to complain about her dress when Joseph does about his shirt. Joseph tells her to quit copying him and she just laughs. It is cute to hear them carry a conversation. Try this recipe for a good, easy lasagna.

All were similar though Isaac’s recipe calls for either ground beef or ground turkey, others added a1⁄2 cup of barbecue sauce to the mixture for additional flavor. The following seems to be the standard recipe.

She has been dating a guy for about a year, but I know she is thinking about breaking up with him. I found out about the abortion by pure coincidence. I wasn’t snooping around. I am saddened and hurt by the fact that my daughter didn’t have the courage to tell me about it. Until now, I thought we were really close. My daughter knows she can come to me with all her problems. I am very understanding. Do you think I should confront her, or should I keep my mouth shut and pretend I don’t know? I am really -- Confused and Hurt in N.Y.C. DEAR CONFUSED: We don’t think “confront” is the right attitude. An abortion is a serious decision, and we are sure it is one your daughter did not reach easily. It serves no purpose to be judgmental, upset or disappointed now. When you have a quiet moment with your daughter, tell her that you found out about the abortion, and ask if she wants to talk about it. If she says no, leave it alone. If she does open up, try to be as supportive as possible. She needs you, Mom. DEAR ANNIE: I met “Craig” three years ago. We both are in our 50s, and each of us is divorced with grown children. We have been living together for nearly two years, and we have a very loving relationship. But there is one thing that bothers me. Whenever there is an attractive woman in sight, Craig always checks her out. On occasion, he also flirts. I have told him many times that this hurts me and is disrespectful. He has improved a bit, but not enough. I know Craig would never cheat on me, but this “looking” bothers me so much that I am thinking of moving out. Am I being ridiculous? I need advice on how to handle this. -- Sad in California DEAR SAD: How much “looking” are we talking about? It is perfectly natural for guys to check out an attractive woman, and it means nothing. Flirting is a more serious infraction. Some men have a flirtatious nature and they charm everyone -- male or female. But if Craig is turning it on just for goodlooking women, you have a legitimate reason to ask him to knock it off. If he won’t, it means he is still playing the field, and you are better off moving out and keeping your distance. DEAR ANNIE: When I read the letter from “Damned in Detroit,” whose wife is not intimate with him, I felt as if I had written it. My wife also finds excuses not to have intimate contact. She actually condemns me for treating her like an object, yet we have sex maybe five times a year. She finds the effort nighttime heart attack. I tried counseling and was told I am wasting my time. I was put on tranquilizers, but being happy about being miserable Annie’s is not what I am looking for.

Sometimes it’s a nicely worked out nutritional package, too. For example, take this plum and quinoa salad. Plums are at their juicy best, but they and the other ingredients offer distinct health benefits. • Plums are rich in antioxidants, and are a source of iron, potassium and vitamin E. • Quinoa, once a staple of the ancient Incas, is now considered the “super grain” and a complete protein, because it provides all eight essential amino acids. It also has minerals, B vitamins and fiber. • Flax seed oil contains essential fatty acids and B vitamins. • Walnuts are “heart healthy” with high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. So how does this good dish fit into your daily menus? It would definitely make a great carryout item, for the backyard, beach or picnics, because it’s delicious both chilled and at room temperature. The original intention was for use as a side dish, but by adding some grilled chicken, it could be a wonderful entree salad, too.

But some Elizabeth Taylor was the first experts to capitalize on her brand status with a perfume line. Despite her absence from movie screens, Taylor’s fragrance White Diamonds remains a top seller.

Some prevention tips So pool swimming is your main form of exercise but you hate the way it turns your hair greenish and makes it feel like straw. Why does this happen? And more to the point, is there anything you can do to prevent these problems? Chlorine is the culprit. When absorbed, it bleaches the hair, destroying its sheen and flexibility. Each hair shaft has a protective outer layer, the cuticle, covering the inner cortex and central medulla. Chlorine bonds with the protein in the cuticle, eating it away and destroying a natural lubricant called sebum. That leaves the hair dry and brittle. When brushed or combed, the weakened hair may split or break. In addition, the dried-out hair easily absorbs traces of metals such as copper, which are found in the sanitizers and algaecides used in pool water. The chlorine causes these metals to oxidize, leaving a greenish residue that is especially noticeable on blond hair. To make matters worse, chlorine damage is cumulative. The more you swim in chlorinated water, the worse the condition of your hair will become. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize the damage. • Wet your hair with fresh water before swimming and it will absorb less chlorine. • Apply conditioner to your hair to act as a protective barrier. • Wear a bathing cap. • Don’t allow chlorine to dry on your hair. • Rinse your hair with fresh water or club soda immediately after a dip. movie and music career. Now, even prestigious brands are falling over themselves to sign high-profile talent. Guerlain has secured Hilary Swank to promote its new fragrance Insolence. “Hilary Swank is magical, intriguing and breathtaking,” the French firm said in a breathless communiqué announcing its collaboration with the Academy Award-winning actress. “Her selection of difficult risk-taking roles and the genuine quality of her personality, far from the sparkle of Hollywood, were factors that made her an obvious choice.” Brands are becoming more demanding as the perfume sector flirts with celebrity overkill. In a sign of the times, Chanel declined to renew its contract with supermodel Kate Moss after she was photographed apparently taking drugs. It has replaced her with “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Keira Knightley as the face of Coco Mademoiselle perfume. Meanwhile, the lifespan of new launches is steadily shrinking, so that industry experts see the celebrity perfume trend hitting a cyclical peak. “It will never stop, but it will slow down certainly from the rate that it is at now,” said Rochelle Bloom, president of the Fragrance Foundation, a New Yorkbased industry group. Britney Spears promotes her new perfume, In Control. Her other fragrances are Curious and Fantasy.

This arrest could devastate the Vikings. And it likely signals the end of a troubled career for Robinson, who may be suspended under the NFL’s substance-abuse policy for an entire season. The Vikings should immediately cut ties with Robinson, who was praised by announcers throughout Monday’s preseason loss for getting his life together. With Robinson out of the picture, who is Brad Johnson’s No. 1 target? Troy Williamson? Marcus Robinson? Please. The Vikings are out of options. A desperate waiverwire pickup isn’t the answer, so they must make a trade. Jerry Porter wants out of Oakland, so he’s an obvious target. The ultra-athletic Raiders receiver has underachieved throughout his career and is demanding a trade. He’s the best player available, though he’s another poor-character guy who won’t help team chemistry. But at this point, what choice do they have?

There was nothing original about the way the Rochester Honkers secured the South Division crown in the Northwoods League playoffs. “Pitching and defense,” confirmed infielder Jason White, after Rochester beat the Madison Mallards 2-1 on Tuesday night at Mayo Field to complete a sweep in the best-of-three divisional playoff. “That’s the way we’ve been doing it all year,” said White, whose leadoff home run in the first inning put Rochester in the driver’s seat toward its first League Championship Series appearance since 1999. Rochester is off today while Thunder Bay and Duluth decide the North Division series tonight in Duluth. Thunder Bay won 1-0 Tuesday in Duluth to even the series at 1-1. The Honkers got their second straight exceptional pitching start as Ryan Bird grounded the Mallards on just two hits over seven innings and improved to 6-1. Bird paid for a walk in the seventh because it was followed by a run-scoring double from Madison left-fielder Tommy Lentz. But the St. Louis University right-hander also saved himself by gloving Ken Klotzbach/Post-Bulletin Kevin Drever of the Rochester Honkers is out at second base in the fifth inning Tuesday as Madison’s Gary Arndt applies the tag. The Honkers defeated Madison 2-1 to earn a berth in the league title series. a hard-hit ball up the middle, which might have tied the score but was instead the third out. “Bird just did a heckuva job,” Honkers manager Greg Labbe said. Randy Wild pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jake Toohey a scoreless ninth for the save as Rochester pitchers combined for a three-hitter. Labbe said White’s solo home run to deep right on the third pitch of the game from Madison starter Adam Mills was a huge lift. “I wasn’t trying for a home run, I was just trying to get something started and get on base for Danny (Lyons) behind me,” White said. The Honkers went ahead 20 in the fifth inning on a leadoff double by Adam Cross and a clutch two-out single to left by No. 9 hitter Kevin Drever. “He threw me a fastball on a 3-2 count, and I was able to get my bat on it,” said Drever, a Santa Clara University second baseman. Bird and Drever were among the Honkers who made fine defensive plays which doused any sparks of a Madison rally. Drever made two impressive defensive plays in a row in the seventh inning. First he jumped high to rob a base hit from Madison’s No. 9 hitter Ryan Bond, and then he handled a bad-hop grounder to retire leadoff man Danny Dressman. “We’re all confident in each other to play good defense, and I think we feed off each other,” Drever said. White ended the seventh by charging a tricky, high-hopping grounder to retire the Mallards’ Jordan Wolf. Honkers right fielder Adam Cross made a difficult catch near the wall for the third out in the fourth, preserving Bird’s no-hitter at the time. Mallards manager C.J. Thieleke said his team still believed it could win the series despite losing the first game Monday in Wisconsin and facing the challenge of beating the Honkers twice in Rochester. “We just had to have a few breaks or even one hit go our way at the right time,” Thieleke said. “But it just didn’t happen.” Inside: Dan Lyons’ number is retired, box score — Pages 2D, 3D MINNESOTA VIKINGS Robinson jailed on suspicion of DWI Associated Press ST. PAUL — Minnesota Vikings starting receiver Koren Robinson was in jail Wednesday on suspicion of drunken driving, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. Sgt. Loren Jansen of the St. Peter Police Department told the newspaper that Robinson was arrested in the southern Minnesota city around 10:46 p.m. Tuesday for “driving ✩ Wednesday, August 16, 2006 POST-BULLETIN Hazing should be taken seriously Honkers will play for title Pitching, defense carry Rochester past Mallards COMMENT D while impaired.” A dispatcher at the Nicollet County sheriff’s department confirmed to The Associated Press that Robinson was still in the county jail Wednesday morning. Jansen told the newspaper that multiple charges were pending, but a police report had not been filed yet. The Vikings signed Robinson, 26, to a new three- year contract in March that included $5.5 million in guaranteed money. He spent 28 days in an alcohol treatment facility last year after being cut by the Seattle Seahawks for several reasons, many of which Robinson has attributed to alcohol abuse. Inside: Greenway out — Page 2D When Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress instituted and enforced a nohazing rule this year in training camp, it made him an instant hero in the eyes of a New York psychologist. “I think he should be Coach of the Year,” Susan Lipkins said. “For somebody like this to make that stand, that is really sending a message to people. “I would love to meet the guy.” In previous years, Vikings rookies were made to stand up during meals and sing their college fight song and also put on a socalled talent show later in the camp. And there were various pranks aimed at the new players. Not this year, and Lipkins thinks that is a huge step toward making people aware that hazing can have a strong negative impact on people. She became involved in trying to eliminate the widespread practice after an incident in New York a few years ago that was near where she lives. Now she has published a book, just out this month, called “Preventing Hazing.” She is a psychologist in private practice who lives in Long Island, N.Y. In 2003, there was a widely publicized case where three boys were brutally beaten, along with other unspeakable acts. “I live about 20 minutes from that,” Lipkins said. “I said to myself, ‘what would make kids do this?’ “I couldn’t understand it, and I’m supposed to understand behavior and, particularly, adolescent behavior. “As far as I’m concerned, hazing is clearly embedded in our society.” She’s right about that. Rochester had its own hazing scandal four years ago that resulted in criminal charges against several young men. Last year, Burnsville High School officials suspended eight girls hockey players in a hazing incident. Northwestern University suspended its entire women’s soccer team last May in a hazing scandal. Last April, a fraternity at the University of Minnesota was suspended for hazing. It’s common and it’s wrong, but until people understand that and do something about it, it will Steve Webb continue. As Lipkins explains it, the cycle or tradition has to be broken. The cycle goes like this: The victims come in and expect something to happen. They have heard there is a tradition. There is a willingness because they want to be part of the team. The next season, they are bystanders. They have more power but not total status. Eventually, they have been there a while and have full status. They feel they have the right to pass tradition to the next generation. “When they complete the circle, it’s like regaining a piece of themselves,” Lipkins said. Lipkins says the coach of a team is the most important step in breaking the cycle, which is why she is so enamored of Brad Childress. “The coach has huge power,” she said. “More power than a parent to the athlete. “If a coach makes a decision there is no hazing and is firm about it, there is no hazing. The coach can stop it because the coach is so important to the athlete.” She says hazing is a head game and an emotional game, and it leaves a deep, lasting imprint. “I’ve had people 89 years old tell me details of hazing when they were 17,” Lipkins said. “You don’t forget what it feels like. “It’s an emotional event.” The Minnesota State High School League has penalties for anyone caught hazing. Suspensions are mandated and, as in the case here in Rochester, even criminal charges can be brought. More importantly, though, people need to take it seriously. “It clearly has psychological consequences for everybody involved,” Lipkins said. Steve Webb is a Post-Bulletin sports writer.

On the Web www.insidehazing.com AMATEUR GOLF | SCRATCH PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP A little friendly competition between Gophers By Ben Pherson [email protected] BYRON — For as long as they can remember, Andy Paulson and Clayton Rask have been competing on the golf course. It started in high school, when Paulson played for White Bear Lake and Rask for Elk River. In four years at Elk River, Rask finished in the top five at the Class AA state meet every season before graduating in 2003. Paulson was all-state his junior season and won the Class AA state title as a senior in 2004. Now the two competitors find themselves driving toward the same goal — an NCAA team title. Rask and Paulson are members of the University of Minnesota men’s golf team, and both have high hopes for the Gophers after a strong finish in the spring. Rask played eight tournaments for the Gophers last season, finishing with a stroke average of 74.6. He had two top-10 finishes. Paulson played in five events and carried a 77 average with a low round of 70. Despite last year’s success, things haven’t always been so upbeat for Rask and Paulson. Early in their college golf careers, University of Minnesota men’s golf coach Brad James told his players many of them would be cut — possibly even half the team. “That was tough; it wasn’t easy to hear,” Paulson said. “But, to put it Elizabeth Nida/Post-Bulletin Gophers teammates Clayton Rask, left, and Andy Paulson are participating in the Scratch P l ay e rs C h a m p i o n s h i p a t Somerby this week. bluntly, that’s part of the business. You don’t always know who’s going to be on the team.” But Rask and Paulson survived the cut, and they said James’ hard-line tactics made them better players. “Coach James just wants to get the best out of you; he’s always there for us, always willing to give us advice,” Rask said. “My game is so much better now than it was in high school. He’s helped a lot.” James has a reputation for recruiting foreign players and ignoring homegrown talent. In some ways, that reputation is deserved — there are seven foreign players on his 12-man roster and only four Minnesotans. But Rask insists James gives everyone a fair shake. “I don’t think he has anything against Minnesota kids at all,” Rask said. “He just expects you to give 100 percent at all times. And if you can’t do that, he doesn’t want you. He pushes us, but it makes us better.” The proof is in the pudding. The James-led Gophers finished tied for third place at the NCAA Championship this past spring, and in his first season as head coach, Minnesota won an NCAA National Championship. Paulson and Rask figure to be the two Minnesotans most likely to contribute when practice opens in early September. The only other Minnesotans on the roster are Mike Fiedler of Faribault and Robbie Kelley of Minnetonka (he attended Hopkins High School). Though Paulson and Rask are now teammates, that doesn’t mean their friendly competition has calmed. The rivalry between the future roommates — they’ll live together this school year — reached its high point at last month’s Minnesota State Amateur Championship. Paulson held off Rask for the title, but it was a strong 1-2 finish for the Gophers. “That was a lot of fun,” Paulson said. “I didn’t know Clayton had shot the round he did until later, so it would have been better if we were playing together (the final day). But it was still fun.” Both players said their friendly competition only makes them play better. “Oh yeah, I think we bring out the best in each other,” Rask said. Rask and Paulson are battling again this week at the Scratch Players Championship at Somerby Golf Club. Neither played their best during the opening two rounds Tuesday — Rask carded 76-69—145 and Paulson shot 73-75—148 — but they said it’s been a thrill to tee it up against some of the best amateur players in the world. “It’s cool to see all the Walker Cuppers out here,” Paulson said. “And this isn’t a course that we get to play every day. It’s the biggest tournament I’m playing this summer.” “I’m honored that they invited me to play,” Rask said.

It wasn’t on a par with Allen Iverson’s classic comedy rant a few years ago, but the point was ostensibly the same. “We’re talkin’ ’bout practice here, man,” as AI so memorably put it. “Not games. Practice!” Portis carried the football 352 times last season, fourthmost in the NFL, and rolled up a franchise-record 1,516 yards. Without him, the Redskins and their anemac passing attack wouldn’t have sniffed the playoffs. So after partially dislocating his shoulder making a tackle in the first quarter of the first of Washington’s four preseason games this season, the normally lighthearted running back was genuinely peeved. “Four games is ridiculous, man,” Portis began, “then you go out and play a 16game season? Then you got playoff games behind that? How much wear and tear can you get?” That last question gets asked every time one of the league’s major celebrities — think Michael Vick in 2003 or Jason Sehorn in 1998 — takes an untimely turn on the preseason casualty list. The best way for players to answer it is by asking themselves another question: How much money do I need to make the world go ’round?

Most players showed up at training camp when they wanted, as out-ofshape as they dared, then put on puffy plastic suits that were considered state of the art equipment and promptly ran themselves into the ground. Now everybody knows better. Today, because the job pays so well, veterans stay in shape year-round. They have private chefs, personal trainers and home gyms, not to mention team-organized workout and nutritional regimens covering almost every minute of the offseason. They come into camp strong enough to turn over a compact car or run 40 yards in under 5 seconds right after rolling out of bed. Despite all that, Portis got hurt three minutes into a meaningless game, and instead of seeing the silver lining — his preseason is effectively over — he kept focusing on the dark cloud. “Maybe they need to let us start smoking cigarettes or something in the locker room again, like they did back in the day,” he said. “And play with no mouthpiece, play with the pads and the helmets that they did back then, then maybe you’ll need to go through all this training.” Some of those guys who played back in the day, at least before 1978, could let COLLEGE BASEBALL | ROCHESTER HONKERS [email protected] Associated Press Clinton Portis watches his Washington teammates in their exhibition season opener. him know practice wasn’t any more romantic then. There were actually six preseason games, followed by a 14-game regular season at the time. Marv Levy, the former Bills coach and current team executive, was an assistant on George Allen’s staff back then. “George wanted to win every game, including the exhibitions,” he recalled. “I remember standing on the sidelines next to Jack Pardee during the sixth game one year. He said, ‘You know, I’m 35-bleeping years old and I’ve played every minute on defense in all six games. “It wasn’t,” Levy concluded, shuddering at the memory, “the healthiest way to do it” Moving two from the preseason column into the regular-season ledger in 1978 was a no-brainer. It not only meant more money for everyone, but it was an acknowledgment the professionalism that had taken hold in the NFL made it possible to take the game to another level. Which, of course, meant even more money. “I remember when my dad was coaching in the ’70s,” said Falcons general manager Rich McKay, whose father, John, was the boss in Tampa Bay at the time. “If we had 100 guys in camp, 80 of them spent the first two weeks trying to get into shape. Ten years ago, when I was still working for the Bucs, we had 80 guys in camp, exactly two weren’t in shape and I was upset about it.” Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White means reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada must appear before a grand jury investigating the leak unless a higher court blocks the ruling. The pair have said they would not testify and would go to jail rather than reveal their source or sources. The two reporters published a series of articles and a book based partly on transcripts of testimony by Bonds, Jason Giambi and others who testified in the grand jury investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.

BASKETBALL Ex-NBA player arrested in Washington WASHINGTON (AP) — Former NBA player Lonny Baxter was arrested by uniformed Secret Service agents today after shots were fired from a vehicle about two blocks from the White House. Baxter, who played with the Charlotte Bobcats last season, was taken into custody around 2:30 a.m. after a witness flagged down a Secret Service agent and reported shots fired from a white sport-utility vehicle, said Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren. Officers stopped the vehicle, which Baxter was driving, near the intersection of 17th and I streets in Northwest Washington. “There were spent shell casings in plain view inside the vehicle,” Zahren said. Officers also recovered a handgun. Both Baxter, 27, and the vehicle’s passenger, 35-year-old Irvin Martin, were charged with carrying a pistol without a license and other firearms charges. Police said it wasn’t clear why they allegedly fired the gun.

The 49-year-old Navratilova announced this summer that she will retire again after the U.S. Open. The Rochester Honkers Baseball Club made some of its own history Tuesday by announcing that it will retire the uniform No. 10 worn by infielder Dan Lyons at the end of the season. Lyons’ number is the first number to be retired by the 13-year-old Honkers organization. The Honkers made the announcement during a pre-game awards ceremony to honor players who had great Lyons seasons for the record-setting Northwoods League team. Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede also presented Lyons with the Mayor’s Award and a ceremonial key to the city. “I had no idea they were going to do this,” said Lyons, who’s in his third season with the Honkers and holds team records for games played, runs scored and stolen bases. Lyons has received many individual awards during his baseball career, but the former Rochester Century High School star and University of Minnesota senior said this honor “is definitely up there.” “To have (the team owners) think that I meant that much to a program is a great compliment and a great honor,” Lyons said. Honkers co-owners Dan Litzinger and Kim Archer decided only Tuesday to retire Lyons’ number, Archer said. “Dan just gave 100 percent of himself to our team, on Lyons. Whenever you think of him, you just smile.” — Honkers co-owner Kim Archer and off the field, for three years,” Archer said. “Anything we asked him to do, he was always ready to go. “We just feel he epitomizes what being an athlete is all about, the type we all want to see on the field.” Archer said it’s just a happy coincidence that the Honkers’ first retired number was worn by a local product. “We didn’t do this because he’s from Rochester,” Archer said. “We did this because he’s Danny Lyons. Whenever you think of him, you just smile.” Awards announced The Honkers also handed out team awards for Pitcher of the Year, Most Inspirational Player of the Year and Honker of the Year. Cal State Fullerton outfielder Chris Jones was named Honker of the Year after batting .270 with 37 RBIs and a league-leading eight homers, including two walk-off homers.

Toohey has allowed only three earned runs in 30 2/3 innings for an ERA below 1.00, and opponents are batting just .141 against the 6-foot-2 right-hander. University of Iowa outfielder Jeff Engel was given the Most Inspirational Player Award. The second-year Honker batted .282 with 27 runs scored, and he anchored the team’s strong outfield defense with only one error in 46 games.

Performance Fuzion™ HRI SALE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL 45.95 185/65R15 SALE Long-anticipated start of practice arrives EDITOR’S NOTE: Lourdes senior Nick Anderson is writing a diary on preparations he and his teammates are making leading up to the 2006 season. After a long summer, August 14th finally came. The anticipation woke me up at 6:30, half an hour before my alarm was set. For the first time all summer, I willingly crawled out of bed before 10 o’clock. The first day of practice was finally here. In the Lourdes gym, players were milling seemingly aimlessly, slowly finding their helmets, shoulder pads, and pants. Throughout the gym, the managers Anderson would come at the beckoning of a confused player. With all the equipment sorted out, the seniors and juniors went down to the weight room for our first round of testing. The offseason’s work was rewarded. As the testing started, high spirits for the season grew quickly. Many players lifted over 250 pounds in the bench press, and two players stood out: Scott Schwartz, our left guard, benched 300 pounds, and Jason Cruz, our center, set a new school record by benching 405 pounds. The final test waiting for the team was the patriot test, a wind sprint that totals over Monday HONKERS BOX SCORE FRIDAY BASEBALL TODAY Sunday Preseason, at Steelers, 7 p.m. (KSTP-TV).

The younger grades followed well, with 80 percent of players making it in the time limit. This year’s progress was amazing, and the coaches’ happiness was definitely apparent. A meeting with all 67 players and the coaches followed the weightlifting. Coach Kesler set high expectations for all levels, but personal expectations were set even higher. The coaches’ tone for the season was already tense, but every player was ready for it. The second practice reintroduced our offense. In helmets only, we ran through most of it quickly. A few obstacles were encountered, but we were able to overcome these and practice continued. The team came together the second day. With some guidance from the coaches, the team finally started playing as one. The intensity was high, and remained at that level through our practice. Even without pads, we started to play football. The first two days of practice were tough, but our team pulled together and played through them. We’re still all waiting for Thursday, when we get to strap on full pads and go back to the thrill of hitting. Passenger Vertex IV Plus SALE 45.95 6 44 SALE 1 GAL.

Not so young? • Work out, at least in moderation, and do stretching exercises. Watch that waistline. • Accept loss of distance; don’t overswing. Scrap the long irons and use more woods and hybrids. • Make use of senior tees. • Get a lesson and practice! Senior golfers increasingly have another option as the years add up: senior tees. While some seniors are reluctant to make such a concession, senior tees are becoming increasingly popular. I know I’ll look forward to using them when I qualify. I’ll look forward to being able to hit a mid-iron, rather than a fairway wood, into greens designed to be receptive to the shorter club. Maybe more than almost anything else, the practice range is the fountain of youth for a lot of seniors. Many seniors — too busy over the years with jobs, kids, and a hundred other things — have never really discovered the benefits of regular practice. I’m not talking about the kind of practice required to play golf for a living; just a couple of hours a week of focused attention on their golf game. Ideally, at least 50 percent of practice time is spent on the short game, where it will help scoring the most. Adding a golf lesson or two can increase any golfer’s focus on the practice range and make practice sessions more beneficial. By paying a little attention to your golf game throughout the year, senior golfers of any ability level can add some enjoyment to their golden years on the course.

He can be reached at [email protected] Experience that will never, ever go away I was going to wait. Wait with this particular column, until early next month, as the five-year anniversary of that fateful day, Sept. 11, 2001 draws closer. But I don’t see much point in waiting now, not with the events that unfolded in London last week and with Oliver Stone’s new flick “World Trade Center” opening in theaters last weekend. I’m not sure if I want to see the movie; I know I don’t need to see it to help me remember. Who will ever forget that day? It was an absolutely beautiful early autumn day, a Tuesday. Not a cloud in the sky, pure sunshine. I found myself in the car driving towards the Twin Cities, a trip like so many others over the years, to yet another golf tournament, this time the USGA Mid-Amateur local qualifier. The new Troy Burne Golf Course just across the border in Hudson, Wis. was the site. Probably 80 some guys playing for three qualifying spots. My tee time was slated for 8:30 a.m. I’d done well in a tournament at Troy Burne earlier that summer and was hopeful about my chances of qualifying. I was on the road heading north on Highway 52 by 6 a.m. or so, in time to get to the course, hit some balls and a few putts before my tee time. Once I passed Cannon Falls I flipped the radio over to KQRS-FM (92.5) to catch Tom Bernard and the morning crew. Funny stuff. I hit the 494 loop and headed east. A few miles short of reaching the I-94 East exit to Hudson, I noticed something odd, two cars pulled off the highway, nothing seemingly wrong with their cars. The drivers had got out and were just standing there. Then the funny stuff on the radio stopped. Someone cut in and mentioned something about a plane hitting one of the World Trade Center towers. They mentioned smoke and confusion. An excited voice was heard next shouting another one had hit. “This is no accident,” Tom Bernard said. A few minutes later I was in the Troy Burne parking lot. I grabbed my sticks, threw my golf shoes on and made a Bline for the clubhouse. On a fancy new plasma screen in the pro shop I saw the Twin Towers ablaze. Three or four of us stood there silently watching the CNN reports for 20 minutes or so. I skipped the practice range and wandered to the putting green. A few strokes later it was time to head to the first tee. One guy scheduled to play in our threesome wasn’t there; just me and another guy for the eeriest 18 holes of my life. I’ve never felt like that on a golf course before. Empty. The first few holes went by, a few pars, a few bogeys.

I knew there would be families, mothers and fathers sitting with their kids, heading home or setting out on vacation, maybe to visit grandma and grandpa. I knew there would be businessmen and women, flying off on the next sales call, having just kissed their spouse and kids goodbye hours before. Unspeakable, heartbreaking personal tragedies. We came to the ninth hole, a long par four. I hooked my tee shot into the rough. Walking towards my ball I overheard a loud radio from a home construction site across the street. Something about the Pentagon. Troy Burne has a bit of a hike from the ninth green to the 10th tee so we stopped in the snack shop to see if they had a TV. Around the corner was my old friend Giles, an elderly gentleman that helps out on many Minnesota Golf Association events. “Giles, what’s going on?” “The Towers fell.” “What?” “They both fell, and the Pentagon is on fire. Another plane hit there.” Stunned, my playing partner and I walked to the 10th tee. On the way we agreed there was no way around the fact that in one form or another, our country was now at war. How would this affect the lives of our children, and their children? Not the kind of things I was planning on thinking about that day. We numbly trudged on through the back nine, more pars and a few more bogeys. I signed my card for a 76 and sat for a moment at the scorer’s table. What would tomorrow hold? Would things ever be the same? The 90-minute car ride home was like slow motion. After a while I had to turn the radio off. I needed some quiet to think. All I wanted to do was get home and hug my daughters. My next round of golf wasn’t until the following weekend, a round with an old buddy in Owatonna. As I drove west on Civic Center Drive heading out of town, I came upon HyVee , still old Barlow’s to me. Across the way, rippling in a stiff southerly breeze was the giant American flag flying above Perkins restaurant. I realized I’d never noticed it there before, proud and strong, down, but not out. Old Glory. Guess there were a lot of things we all took for granted before 9/11. Do we still? Greg Peterson is a seven-time AllCity men’s golf champion.

Invariably, their loss of distance will come up. “I used to hit my 5-iron 170 yards,” some of them will lament, “and now I only hit it 140.” Before too long, the topic of aging gracefully on the golf course becomes a roundtable discussion, and every year I feel a little more qualified to join in. The PGA Senior Tour, or Champions Tour, as it’s now called, is a pretty good example of a group of golfers who have aged well. Most of them work out in moderation, particularly with flexibility exercises, and pay attention to what they eat. In other words, they cannot only touch their toes, they can also see them. Stretching around an ample waistline is certainly better than not stretching at all, but Wednesday, August 16, 2006 LPGA Tour SAFEWAY CLASSIC Associated Press Phil Mickelson signs autographs after his practice round Tuesday at Medinah. He and Tiger Woods are probably the two most popular players on the PGA Tour but they reportedly don’t get along well; they are paired in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship Thursday and Friday. Mickelson cracks jokes, but can he tame Tiger? By Carlos Monarrez Detroit Free Press MEDINAH, Ill. — Is there any way Tiger Woods won’t win the PGA Championship? After all, he won the British Open and has three other victories on the PGA Tour this season. Meanwhile, Woods’ closest pursuer, Phil Mickelson, had another disappointing British Open and hasn’t won since April. And you know what else? That was the scenario going into last year’s PGA Championship, when Mickelson walked away with the Wanamaker Trophy at Baltusrol. Of course, it’s also the same scenario for this year’s PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club. Sure, there are a few differences. This year, Woods is on one of his best streaks. He has finished no worse than second in his past three tournaments, he won his past two events and he made a personal-best 28 birdies in clinching the Buick Open for his 50th PGA Tour victory. Mickelson? He missed the cut Friday at the International. “Well, it’s a different strategy going in,” Mickelson said. “You know, I guess here’s a great example of how Tiger and I prepare differently. He goes into the PGA Championship thinking that winning the British and winning the Buick Open is the best way. And I go in thinking that missing the cut is the best. And it gives me a week off to focus on my game. See, he didn’t have that weekend off.” Naturally, Mickelson was kidding. He and Woods held their news conferences Tuesday, and their demeanors were as different as the states of their games appear to be. Woods was fighting allergies and was somewhat subdued in his responses. Mickelson seemed to be auditioning for an improv comedy troupe. Asked about Sergio Garcia’s famous behind-thetree shot on the 16th hole in the 1999 PGA at Medinah, Mickelson deadpanned: “I would never try that. I wouldn’t advocate that.” Then, poking fun at his debacle on the 72nd hole of this year’s U.S. Open, Mickelson continued: “I think you should always, always pitch out to the middle of the fairway and hit an eightiron on. What are these guys thinking nowadays?” In a story splashed across the front of the Chicago Tribune’s sports section Tuesday, Mickelson’s short-game coach, Dave Pelz, said his student was better than anyone else — including Woods — when his game is on. “I have tried to not give you too much to run with,” Mickelson told reporters with a smile, “and so I’m paying other people now to do it.” When Woods was asked about Pelz’s comments, he smiled slightly. “I think I’m pretty tough to beat when I’m playing well, too,” Woods said. Mickelson will get to see firsthand if Woods’ stats add up. He, Woods and U.S. Open champ Geoff Ogilvy will play the first two rounds together. On Thursday, they’ll tee off at 8:30 a.m. on the 10th hole, which is at the farthest end of the course. “I don’t think there’s going to be many people out there,” Mickelson joked. Other than having Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones emerge from the afterlife for a match, there isn’t another pairing that can so command a gallery’s attention. They haven’t played together in a major since the 2001 Masters. Site: Portland, Ore. Schedule: Friday-Sunday. Course: Columbia Edgewater Country Club (6,327 yards, par 72). Purse: $1.4 million.
