Answer Man
Today’s question:
Answer Man, Great Man of
Wisdom: The VFW Post 1215 in
Rochester has two front doors
facing the street, about two feet
apart. There were at one time,
many, many years ago, two businesses in there. What were they? I
think the Red Cross may have been
one. Nobody seems to know, even
the old-timers, and VFW members
are stumped on this one.
Nobody stumps the Answer Man.
The truth is on page A2.
HAYFIELD — There’s no Christmas
tree decorated with lights and ornaments at the Woodwick home this
year season, a reflection of the disarray that’s entered the family’s life
this year.
It started on July 26, when 38-yearold Cris Woodwick broke his neck in
a water slide accident on the Mississippi River.
He spent two months in the hospital and still hasn’t fully recovered,
although he’s progressing.
When the accident happened, he
was in the middle of a major home
renovation project. The plans
included lifting the house off its foundation and moving it elsewhere on
the property, plus building an addition.
Friends and family worked to keep
the project moving forward. They also
made meals for Woodwick’s wife,
Kelli, 41, and the couple’s two children, Audra, 7, and Lukas, 9.
“It’s been devastating, but it’s been
incredible,” Kelli said, expressing
gratitude for the support her family

a slow cooker and pizza-sized oven.
has received.
The recovery process has been frustrating, Cris admits. He isn’t able to
do everything he would like to do in
order to change his house from construction zone to a finished home.
He’s recovering, though, and he
remembers that it wasn’t that long
ago when he was paralyzed from the
chest down.
“That’s what I do when I get frustrated or mad — I look down at my
toes and move them,” he said. “I say,
‘A month ago I couldn’t do that.’”
He can move his arms and walks
for limited distances with the help of
a walker or walking sticks. He still
can’t tell hot from cold from his chest
down, however.
Cris describes his hands as “super
soft, limp like noodles.” He can
weakly curl the fingers of his right
hand inward, however, which marks
progress from just a few weeks ago.
The accident and slowed renovation touch all areas of their lives.
They can’t use their kitchen stove
because of the construction work.
Until the addition is completed, possibly next year, Cris and Kelli need to
sleep on a bed they’ve set up in the
living room.
But Kelli stresses the positives as
she looks back on the turbulent year.
“It’s given us more bonding time as
a family,” she said. “You kind of
appreciate things more than you did
before — life is not something that
you just get.”
She also remembers that things
could be much worse.
Cris’ medical expenses hover
around $400,000, she said, but insurance has covered most of that. He has
disability insurance. He also co-owns
the grain-bin building company he
works for and has been able to maintain an income, Kelli said.
“We’re not going to go broke,” she
said. “We’re just very grateful for
what we have.”
And while they don’t have a
Christmas tree this year, they do have
family to spend the holidays with.
No charges will be brought
against the driver of a tour bus
that crashed on its way home
from an Iowa casino, a county
prosecutor said today.
Freeborn County Attorney
Craig Nelson said the driver,
52-year-old Edwin Erickson, lost
consciousness, causing the Nov.
18 crash that killed two and
injured 20 two miles west of
Austin.
Nelson received the detailed
State Patrol investigation
Monday, he said.
“My findings, and what the
investigation reports, are what
we had here was the rapid
onset of an undiagnosed medical condition that resulted in
the driver becoming unconscious,” Nelson said. “It was
not something that he or the
business or anyone could have
anticipated.
“It was a tragic incident that
had long-lasting consequences
for many people; but there are
no criminal charges that can
be brought, no carelessness,
negligence, or intervention of
other inappropriate behavior,”
Nelson said.
Erickson was driving the bus
owned by Bold Lines Inc. of
Rochester when it crossed the
median on Interstate 90 near
Austin and landed on its side
in a ditch. The company, which
operates under the name Strain
Tours, has said Erickson suffered a ruptured aneurysm just
before the crash.
Nelson said information from
the investigation shows it wasn’t
an aneurysm, Nelson said in an
interview on Minnesota Public
Radio today. Nelson also said
the internal bleeding might
have killed Erickson had he
been somewhere else.
“I think that but for this collision and the emergency
response that occurred thereafter, including the emergency
response that attended to the
driver, the driver would be
dead,” he said in the MPR
interview.
Erickson’s current condition
is not known, but Nelson said
his condition deteriorated in
the days after the crash. Investigators were able to interview
Erickson after the crash, Nelson
said.

Help wanted: Census-takers, and lots
of them.
The U.S. Census Bureau expects to
hire about 1,000 people in Rochester
and the surrounding counties for the
upcoming head count. They are among
hundreds of thousands of temporary
jobs being filled across the country for
the 2010 census.
“We’re doing massive recruiting
efforts to gear up for our highest peak
in February or March, when questionnaires go out,” said Sydnee ChattinReynolds, deputy regional director for
the census bureau.
They’re likely to be popular in a job
market slumping from the economic
criminal background check and have
a valid driver’s license. Paid training
will be provided.
Census-taker pay rate in
Rochester: $14.25
Applications: Available online. Call
the Census Bureau office in
Rochester at 206-5070 to schedule
an employment test.
slowdown.
Needed are temporary field workers
to help explain the importance of the
census; to reach populations where
mailing addresses aren’t adequate,
such as soup kitchens, prisons and
rural residents; and to follow up with
residents who don’t complete the
forms, with up to six attempts at each
address, Chattin-Reynolds said.
“It’s important that we get an accurate count,” she said.
Every 10 years, the Census Bureau
takes a snapshot of the population to
determine the number of people in
the country, who they are and where
they live. That information helps determine government representation and
distribution of $400 billion in federal
funds to states annually for things such
as roads, parks, housing, schools and
public safety.
“A lot of people I talked to look at
this as an opportunity to give back to
the community and get paid while
doing it,” Chattin-Reynolds said. “It’s
something they are proud to be a part
of. When they see things happen, like
roads being built and hospitals and
schools being built, anything that uses
federal funds, they feel personally
proud that they helped get those numbers and know they are accurate.”

Jobs as census-takers can last just
a few days or up to seven weeks, with
flexible hours that can be part-time
or full-time. Census-takers go through
paid training, and work-related mileage
is reimbursed.
While census forms are mailed
during the second week of March, the
recruitment effort for employees has
begun, to allow applicants to complete
a written jobs test, provide identification and undergo a background check.
People who speak multiple languages are needed, Chattin-Reynolds
said, but it’s most important that applicants know their community.
“We’re really seeking to hire at the
community level so that people feel
comfortable opening their doors to
us,” she said.

Boot Up
Scam artist gets off with $130
By Laura Horihan
[email protected]
EYOTA — An Eyota convenience store is
out $130 after a scam artist allegedly confused a clerk by repeatedly asking for different change.
According to Olmsted County Sheriff’s Sgt.
Scott Behrns, a man came to pre-pay for $10
worth of gas about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, went
back outside out, pumped his gas and
returned to the store to buy a $1 lottery ticket
with a $20 bill.
“The clerk gave the man his change and
he asked for different bills, eventually working
his way up to $130,” Behrns said.
Behrns said he’s certain the same man has
been committing similar crimes all over the
state.
He said managers at Eyota Market didn’t
realize the crime had occurred until they
balanced their cash register the next day.

Answer Man, Great Man of Wisdom: The
VFW Post 1215 in Rochester has two front
doors facing the street, about two feet
apart. There were at one time, many, many
years ago, two businesses in there. What
were they? I think the Red Cross may have
been one. Nobody seems to know, even the
old-timers, and VFW members are stumped
on this one.
I’ve heard this question
off and on through the
years, which means I’ve
been too lazy to figure it
out. But today’s the magic
day.
The VFW post is at 16
Sixth St. S.W. and has
been there for decades. Half the building previously was home to the American Red Cross,
but nobody at the VFW post knows for sure
what was in the other half.
The bartender and the quartermaster did
some legwork for me and came up with two
possibilities: A government dairy testing office
or possibly a Civil Defense office.
Both may have been true at one time or
another, but according to the city directory for
1950, half the building was occupied at that
time by Rochester Labys Cosmetics.
More will be revealed, and I’m sure my
loyal readers will fill in the blanks.

ROCHESTER / CRIME
By Janice Gregorson

Relationship troubles apparently led to the shooting of a
20-year-old man earlier this
month in an apartment parking
lot.
Now, a woman that the victim
was dating and another man
she was having a relationship
with are in custody, facing
attempted murder and assault
charges.
Sherrod Lamont McClain, 22,
of 421 21st
Ave. S.W.,
w a s

on
the
charges
Thursday.
A complaint
against

St. S.W.,
has been
filed, and
she is to
be

Collins
attempted
murder
with premeditation and two
counts of second-degree assault.
Unconditional bail for
McClain is set at $500,000 and
conditional bail at $250,000. He
returns to court Dec. 31.
The man who was shot
remains hospitalized.
The shooting occurred at
about 12:40 a.m. on Dec. 4 in
the parking lot of an apartment
complex at 1806 Second St. S.W.
Officers learned that the victim
was being taken to Saint Marys
Hospital by private vehicle.
That vehicle had also been hit
by a bullet; it was taken to the
law enforcement center as evidence. The victim’s brothers,
who drove him to the hospital,
were interviewed.
The victim’s brothers told
officers that they had received
a call from their brother, who
said he was at the apartment
complex, and that there was a
man who wanted to fight him.
The brothers went to the complex. As they were arriving,
they saw a man matching
McClain’s description running
away. They drove into the
parking lot, and a woman
started running toward them,
they said. The woman had a
handgun, and fired a shot at
them, the brothers said. She
then rounded the corner near
the sidewalk and ran along the
same path as the man. They
said the woman shot at them
while she ran east along the
south sidewalk to a furniture
store. The brothers then found
their brother on the ground.
He had been shot once in the
back. The victim said he could
not move his legs.
According to the criminal
complaint, police received an
anonymous call saying Collins
had shot the man. They also
learned that Collins and the
victim had been dating, and
that they “might be having
problems.” Probation officers
went to Collins’ house, but she
was not there. While there,
investigators found a footprint
at her house that matched a
footprint at the scene.
Investigators obtained video
from Wal-Mart North showing
Collins entering the store with
McClain’s brother, 45 minutes
after the shooting.
Collins was later arrested on
a warrant from the Department
of Corrections and interviewed.
She denied shooting the victim.
She admitted to having a
sexual relationship with both
the victim and McClain, the
complaint says.
A female inmate at the jail
contacted investigators. She
said Collins told her that she
shot the victim. She also told
the other inmate that she had
been in a relationship with the
victim, and that she had been
fighting with “one of his other
girls,” the complaint said.
Police interviewed the victim
at the hospital Dec. 14. He said
he went to the apartment complex to fight McClain, and that
Collins was there. He said that
he turned to run, and that
McClain shot him in the back.

A young Rochester woman
said she needed just $300 more
to start cancer treatment for her
3-year-old son.
Then, she was caught
allegedly stealing it.
Brittany Schuchard, 24, is
charged with felony theft,
accused of stealing from her
employer, Herberger’s.
“It involved extraordinary
circumstances and it wasn’t
(done) to benefit to me,” an
emotional Schuchard told the
Post-Bulletin this morning. She
declined additional comment.
Police were called to the
Apache Mall store on Nov. 4 to
investigate the employee theft.
The loss prevention officer said
he began noticing money
missing from cash registers on
Nov. 1. He said his investigation showed Schuchard was
responsible for falsely entering
returns and taking the cash, all
caught on store security video.
The complaint says she stole
money while the loss prevention officer was watching her
Nov. 1. Schuchard wrote a statement admitting she stole $1,723
during the previous two to
three weeks, according to the
complaint.
She later told police she took
the money to pay for her son’s
medical treatments. She said
she needed a $5,000 downpayment to pay for cancer treatment for her 3-year-old son and
was only $300 away from being
able to bring him in for treatment.
A summons has been issued
for her to make her first
appearance on Jan. 25 in Olmsted District Court.

ROCHESTER / CRIME
ALBERT LEA / NURSING HOME ABUSE CASE
Police: Victim held over drug debt
Ex-nursing home aide
pleads not guilty to abuse
Three men are jailed;
one has criminal record
and higher bail set
By Janice Gregorson
[email protected]
Three Rochester men, allegedly angry
over getting bogus cocaine from a Claremont man and his brother in Mexico, were
charged Thursday with kidnapping and
beating the Claremont man while trying
to get thousands of dollars in ransom.
The criminal complaints, filed in Olmsted District Court against the three men
Thursday, describe an incident that started
in Claremont on Sunday evening and
ended with a raid on a Rochester residence on Tuesday.
The victim, 31, was found at a northwest
Rochester apartment, allegedly being held
by one of the suspects. Two other suspects
were arrested when they went to a northwest Rochester restaurant to meet a police
officer posing as a family relative to get
$18,000 in ransom.
Arraigned Thursday were brothers Seyfu
Haji Hassan, 24, of 2562 Georgetown Drive
N.W., and Hussein Haji Hassan, 21, of 1015
41st St. N.W., as well as Osman Siddig Omer,
21, of 2562 Georgetown Drive N.W.
Judge Joseph Wieners set unconditional
bail at $250,000 for Hussein Hassan, the
only one of the three with a criminal
record.
Bail for the other two men was set at
$80,000 without conditions or $40,000 with
conditions. Those conditions include having
no contact with co-defendants or the victim
and staying out of Claremont. All three
return to court Dec. 31.
The three are charged with two counts
of aiding and abetting kidnapping and one
count of aiding and abetting false imprisonment, all felonies.
Prosecution’s case
Senior Assistant Olmsted County
Attorney Jim Spencer told Wieners that
Hussein Hassan has a conviction in Blue
Earth County for a third-degree controlled
substance crime, and recently pleaded
guilty in Olmsted County to a third-degree
controlled substance crime. He is to be
sentenced on the Olmsted charge in January.
The other two suspects are college students. One is studying engineering in South
Dakota; the other recently has been
accepted to the University of St. Thomas,
according to the public defender.
The complaint said Rochester police
learned of the alleged kidnapping about
1:30 p.m. Monday.
A sister-in-law of the victim called
authorities in Dodge County the previous
evening, saying she had received a call
from the victim’s brother in Mexico. He
said his brother called, telling him he was
being held by people in Rochester in
H. Hassan
S. Hassan
exchange for $10,000, and that he was being
beaten. The victim’s brother in Mexico
called the sister-in-law in Claremont and
gave the telephone number that the suspects’ call came from.
The victim’s girlfriend later told authorities that she was home when her boyfriend
was taken by force from their Claremont
home. She said she was threatened and
didn’t call authorities out of fear her family
would be harmed.
Rochester police learned the suspects’
telephone number was serviced by
Sprint/Nextel and were able to find the
current location of the phone associated
with that number. The coordinates given
showed the location of the phone to be at
the Georgetown Drive address of two of
the suspects.
Police also called the brother in Mexico
and learned the incident was over a $12,000
debt that his brother owed Hussein
Hassan, the complaint said.
Locating the victim
On Tuesday, officers were speaking with
the victim’s girlfriend at 3:28 p.m. when
she received a phone call from the suspect’s phone. It was her boyfriend, saying
he needed money. He said he was tied up
and left in the cold garage of the residence
where he was being held.
The girlfriend handed the phone to a
Spanish-speaking police officer. The victim,
who didn’t know he was speaking to an
officer, said he had been held in a cold
garage for three days and had been beaten
and the suspects had weapons.
The victim then handed the phone to
an unknown male, who spoke English. The
male told the officer that the victim owed
him $26,000. The officer, pretending to be
a family member, said he was trying to get
the money together.
The complaint said other officers conducted surveillance at the Georgetown
Drive address and saw several males
entering and leaving Tuesday afternoon.
Officers also learned from officers with
other agencies that Hussein Hassan is
known to be involved in cocaine trafficking.
Officers obtained a search warrant for
the apartment. The victim was found
inside. He had a cut on his nose, black
eyes, and it appeared his nose was broken.
The complaint said he had a large amount
of blood on the front of his shirt and on
his coat.
Hussein Hassan
was in the residence.
The victim told
investigators that
Hussein Hassan
came to his residence Sunday night
with two other males.
The victim said he
knew this was about
a past drug debt
involving his brother
Omer
and Hussein Hassan.
He said one of the
suspects displayed a handgun and he knew
he had to go with them or be killed. He
said in the car, they put a scarf over his
head and took him to a house where he
was beaten. He was later taken to the
Georgetown Drive residence. He said
someone was always near him and he had
to ask permission for everything, even to
go to the bathroom.
Witness’ description
Another man who lives at the residence
with Seyfu Hassan told investigators that
he came home from work at 3 a.m. Monday
and saw the victim laying on the couch
covered with a blanket.
The man said the victim’s face was
bloody. The three suspects were also in
the living room, along with two other
unknown black males. The roommate said
one of the brothers told him that the victim
was “Pancho’s” brother and that they were
going to keep him until getting back their
money or dope.
The roommate stated that he was previously aware that Hussein Hassan bought
bogus cocaine from “Pancho” for $26,000.
On Tuesday evening, the roommate said
he overheard a phone conversation from
Hussein Hassan to either Seyfu Hassan
or Osman Omer, telling them to go to a
northwest Rochester restaurant and get
the money.
The two were to call when the money
was received and Hussein Hassan would
bring the victim to the restaurant.
Officers followed Seyfu Hassan and
Osman Omer to the restaurant. The officers stopped the vehicle. Omer denied
knowing why he was being directed to
drive to the restaurant by the brothers
other than they were going to meet
someone.
The complaint said Seyfu Hassan and
Osman Omer were to meet the “family
friend” and get $18,000 in exchange for
the release of the victim. Seyfu Hassan
denied any involvement with the kidnapping or false imprisonment.
Hussein Hassan told investigators that
the victim went with him willingly. Hassan
said he asked the victim to pay him back
the money that was taken from him a few
months ago.
Hussein Hassan denied assaulting the
victim.

used excessive force in how he
sent his police dog Tazer to stop
Musolf during an arrest in
October 2006 in Waltham.
Last Friday, a federal jury
determined Ellis didn’t use
excessive force while apprehending Musolf.
Musolf was seeking more
than $75,000 for injuries he sustained to one of his legs in the
Oct. 3, 2006, incident. Musolf
said he suffered a loss of
income, ongoing pain and the
inability to hold a steady job
because of injuries caused by
Tazer.
The case was the first lawsuit of its kind against Ellis and

POLLUTION / AIR
DODGE COUNTY / COURT
Air quality
alert issued for
southern twothirds of state
Jurors hear interviews in Ortega murder trial
Associated Press
[email protected]
ST. PAUL — The Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency has
issued an air quality advisory
for the southern two-thirds of
Minnesota.
High pressure over Wisconsin will result in calm winds
and a strong temperature
inversion over Minnesota, trapping fine particles near the surface. Air Quality Index levels
are forecast to reach unhealthy
levels on Friday.
People with respiratory or
cardiovascular problems, young
children, the elderly and physically active people are the
most sensitive to air pollution.
Air quality is expected to
improve over the weekend as
winds increase and clean air
flows in.
MANTORVILLE — The jury deliberating the fate of Danny Ortega Jr.
returned to the courtroom twice
Thursday to listen to the two recorded
interviews of police interrogating the
defendant.
But by nearly 10 p.m., after deliberating for more than eight hours on the
four murder charges against Ortega Jr.,
22, of Claremont, the seven women and
five men quit for the night. They were
to resume at 9 a.m. today.
Jurors started deliberations in the
early afternoon Thursday. One of the
interviews they returned to hear again
was recorded Feb. 16, 2008, the day
Ortega Jr. and his father, Danny Ortega
Sr., 44, of Claremont, allegedly beat,
kicked and stabbed Troy Ulrich to
death in a Claremont apartment complex garage. The second was recorded
a few days later.
In both, Ortega Jr. told investigators
how he stabbed Ulrich, and what led up
to the fatal confrontation.
Those tapes were crucial parts of the
prosecution’s case. And assistant Minnesota Attorney General Matt Frank,
who helped prosecute the case, stressed
them in his closing statement to the jury.
Frank went over the series of events
that began with a verbal disagreement
between Ortega Jr. and Ulrich in an
Rare map from 1602
coming to U of M
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — One of the
rarest maps in the world will
be on permanent display soon
at the University of Minnesota’s
James Ford Bell Library.
The map is a massive print
from 1602 showing the world
with China as its center. It is
the first map in Chinese to
show the Americas.
It was created by cartographer and Jesuit priest Matteo
Ricci at the request of a Chinese emperor.
Ford W. Bell, a trustee for
the James Ford Bell Trust, tells
Minnesota Public Radio the
map is a great collaboration
between East and West.
The James Ford Bell Trust
announced that it acquired the
map from a London book
dealer for $1 million. Only six
copies of the map remain.
The map goes on display at
the Library of Congress in January before coming to Minnesota.
Deliberations continue
today in Mantorville
By John Weiss
apartment, continued in the
garage, and ended
with
Ulrich’s
death. He clearly
laid the blame on
the son. Ortega Jr.
was so angry
about the first disagreement, Frank
stated, that he
threatened Ulrich
with a baseball
bat and machete.
When Ulrich left, Ortega Jr.
Ortega Jr. called
his father because he said he was being
disrespected.
When the father began pushing
Ulrich, the victim fought back. But
Ulrich was finally beaten down to the
floor, and was stabbed by the father.
Then the son picked up the knife and
stabbed Ulrich, Frank said.
“He was putting the final blows of a
course of events he put into place,”
Frank said. Ortega Jr. made a clear
decision to stab Ulrich, he said.
When they left the garage, the Ortegas
didn’t call for medical help. “Why?
Because they had the result they
wanted … they wanted him dead,”
Frank said.
Evidence about what Ortega Jr.
thought, and whether he thought about
what he was doing, came in the recordings, Frank said.
Premeditation is a crucial part of the
first count of first-degree murder with
premeditation.
Defense: Evidence not there
But defense attorney Paul Spyhalski,
in his closing statements, stressed that
blood, fingerprints and other forensic
evidence don’t point to his client.
“He is not guilty because he was not
there,” he said.
Spyhalski laid the blame for Ulrich’s
death squarely on the shoulders of
Ortega Sr., who is facing the same
charges in a trial scheduled for next
month.
“Senior is the one who becomes
angry and decides he is going to do
something about it,” Spyhalski said.
Some witnesses were inconsistent
and had reason to lie because of plea
deals they made with the prosecution,

Spyhalski said. His client hung out with
Ulrich, and after the confrontation with
Ulrich went to his apartment to apologize, telling Ulrich’s fiancé there were
no hard feelings.
The medical examiner who did
Ulrich’s autopsy could say he bled to
death, but couldn’t say who did it or if
one or more people did it, Spyhalski
said.
Yes, footprints in Ulrich’s blood could
have been made by his client’s shoes,
but that could have come after he
dragged the body out of the garage,
Spyhalski said. He only did that
because his cousins, whose father
rented the garage, told him to move it,
he said.
“Not one item actually found in the
garage comes back to the profile of
Danny Ortega Jr.,” he said. Only the
father’s blood was on a bolt cutter used
in the beating; only the father’s blood
was mixed with Ulrich’s in a sink where
the father cleaned up, he said.
As for the confession on the tapes,
Spyhalski said his client did that as a
show of pride, to demonstrate to his
family that he had helped his father,
who was in the fight.
“He was bragging,” Spyhalski said.
Ortega Jr. gave differing stories to
different investigators, or seemed to
be guessing which hand he used or how
many times Ulrich was stabbed.
“Does Ortega know the details of a
person who was there? He does not,”
Spyhalski said.

Frank acknowledged that no blood
of Ulrich’s was found on the son’s sweatshirt, and only a little on his shoes. The
defense stressed that in its opening
statement. But the lack of blood only
means that the son was behind the
father and helped; the blood of Ortega
Sr., whom Ulrich hit hard on his head,
was on the son’s sweatshirt.
Frank also acknowledged that some
of the testimony by the prosecution’s
witnesses was inconsistent.
“Those are the kinds of details that
are not that important,” he said.
What is important, he said, is that
the son was in the garage and took part
in the beating and stabbing. That alone

MINNESOTA / SOCIAL ISSUES
Recession interferes with Pawlenty’s goal to help homeless
Associated Press
ST. PAUL — Barely a year into his
first term, Gov. Tim Pawlenty set out
to end long-term homelessness in Minnesota by 2010, an audacious-sounding
goal that he insisted was “very real
and attainable.”
“Our homeless population in Minnesota isn’t so large that we can’t solve
the problem in the near and intermediate term,” he said in his January
2004 State of the State address.
Almost six years later, the problem
remains. The two-term Republican
governor’s plan to create housing for
the persistently homeless has stalled,
with 1,500 of an estimated 4,000 longterm homeless housed and little development this year. Meanwhile,
advocates say more people are
becoming homeless as the recession
and its aftereffects chew into oncestable lives.
Minnesota’s homeless population
grew 4 percent last year in estimates
from the U.S. Department of Housing
out among the nation’s governors with
his businesslike approach to thenPresident George W. Bush’s priority
of ending long-term homelessness.
Starting in 2004, the Minnesota governor put cabinet members on the
job, committed state bonding money
and recruited donors to the cause.
“I just don’t remember other governors doing it in such a concrete,
planful way,” said Neil Donovan, who
heads the National Coalition for the
Homeless.
Housing support
The idea behind Minnesota’s plan
was to create supportive housing for
the homeless, giving them rent subsidies and services ranging from case
managers to mental health counseling
and chemical dependency treatment
to get at the roots of their problems.
The state has sunk $215 million into
the initiative to date, with smaller
amounts of outside money coming
from the federal government and private donors.
Advocates say supportive housing
is effective and saves public money,
even though it requires upfront investment. A 2007 study in Hennepin
County found annual savings of $13,000
for each of six troubled homeless
people. Before they were given subsidized housing and services, they
landed frequently in jails and shelters.
Pawlenty’s administration topped
its yearly goals from 2004 to 2008 for
commitments to create new supportive
housing units, before making almost no
progress this year.
Money got tight
Laura Kadwell, the state’s director
for ending long-term homelessness,
said the recession dried up investment in tax credits used to pay for
new units. Money for services, always
hard to come by, got even tighter. Kadwell said the economic meltdown also
stymied efforts to open 1,000 units that
were funded on paper in 2008 but not
yet developed.
A researcher at the social services
nonprofit Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, which conducts the homelessness survey every three years, said
the recession has made it harder to
lift people out of chronic homelessness as foreclosures have eaten into
housing for low-income renters. But
Greg Owen said housing the long-term
homeless was getting tougher even
before the economy fell apart because
of high rates of mental illness, substance abuse and other problems.
“They had hoped for a more rapid
decrease in the number of homeless
people, certainly a more rapid housing
of persons in that category of chronically homeless,” Owen said of Pawlenty’s initiative.
Minnesota is getting some help from
the federal stimulus, including $23.5
million to prevent homelessness, $16
million for short-term emergency assistance and $15 million to keep families from becoming homeless.

A plume of sulphur and molten
lava erupts from the West Mata
Volcano nearly 4,000 feet beneath
the Pacific Ocean, south of
Samoa, in this video image taken
on May 7.
Underwater volcano video
geophysics conference
Scientists have recorded the deepest
erupting undersea volcano ever seen,
capturing for the first time video of
fiery molten lava bubbles exploding
4,000 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean.
A submersible robot witnessed the
eruption in May during an underwater
expedition near Samoa, and the highdefinition videos were presented
Thursday at a geophysics conference
in San Francisco.
Scientists hope the images, data and
samples obtained during the mission
will shed new light on how the earth’s
crust was formed. The research could
also help explain how some sea creatures survive and thrive in extreme
environments and how the earth
behaves when tectonic plates collide.
“It was an underwater Fourth of July,”
said Bob Embley, a
marine geologist for
the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric
Administration, in a
news release. “Since
the water pressure at
that depth suppresses
the violence of the
Embley
volcano’s explosions,
we could get the underwater robot
within feet of the active eruption.”
The eruption was a spectacular sight:
Bright-red lava bubbles shot out of the
volcano, releasing a smoke-like cloud
of sulfur. The lava froze almost
instantly as it hit the cold sea water,
causing black rock to sink to the sea
floor. The submersible hovered near
the blasts, its robotic arm reaching
into the lava to collect samples.

UTAH
TEXAS
Agreement reached on
storing depleted uranium
Polygamist sentenced
33 years for sex abuse
The Department of Energy said
Thursday that it has struck a deal with
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert that would
prohibit radioactive waste from South
Carolina from being permanently
buried in Utah until stricter state
guidelines are put in place.
DOE spokeswoman Jen Stutsman
said the agreement was reached
Thursday, two days after Herbert
called on the department to stop a train
loaded with depleted
uranium from leaving
the Savannah River
Site near Aiken, S.C.
The material is
waste from the development of nuclear
weapons in the Cold
War era.
State regulators say
Herbert
they need more time
to determine whether depleted uranium can safely be disposed of at
EnergySolutions Inc.’s site about 70
miles west of Salt Lake City. Depleted
uranium is different from other waste
disposed there because it becomes
more radioactive over time, for up to
1 million years.
The first train, carrying 5,408 55gallon drums of waste, won’t be
stopped or turned around, Stutsman
said. But the DOE agreed to place its
waste in temporary storage once it
arrives in Utah, rather than permanently disposing of it.
The Texas attorney general’s office
says a 57-year-old member of a polygamist group has been sentenced to 33
years in prison for the sexual assault
of a child.
The office says in
a statement that a
jury
decided
Thursday on the punishment for Allan
Eugene Keate, the
second member of
the Fundamentalist
Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day
Saints to be convicted
Keate
on that charge.
The jury at a court in Eldorado, West
Texas, deliberated for under two hours
Tuesday before convicting Keate for
his “spiritual marriage” to a 15-yearold girl who gave birth at age 16.
“A Schleicher County jury gave
Allan Eugene Keate a 33-year prison
sentence for sexually assaulting a
child,” Texas Attorney General Greg
Abbott said in a statement. “Despite
the defendant’s request for probation,
the jury recognized the seriousness
of his crime and decided he should
spend 33 years in prison for this criminal offense.”
The prosecution’s case largely relied
on records seized from the polygamists’ Yearning For Zion Ranch in
April 2008, including some that indicated Keate had six wives aged 17 to
49 in 2007.

Death rows shrink as
death sentences decline
He’d insisted he was home watching
TV with his twin sister but witnesses
claimed he was the man who raped
a 9-year-old boy, and he was sentenced
to life in prison.
Decades later, with
DNA technology able
to exonerate him,
James Bain was set
free Thursday and
used a cell phone for
the first time. He
called his mother to
tell her he was out
after 35 years behind
bars for a crime he
Bain
did not commit.
As Bain walked out of the Polk
County courthouse, wearing a black
T-shirt that said “not guilty,” he spoke
of his deep faith.
“No, I’m not angry,” he said.
“Because I’ve got God.”
The Innocence Project of Florida
says the 54-year-old has spent longer
behind bars than any of the other 245
inmates exonerated by DNA.
Texas and other states that lead the
nation in executions are sentencing
many fewer inmates to death, a trend
that slowly is reducing the death row
population in the United States, a
report from an anti-capital punishment group says.
There were 106 death sentences
imposed in 2009, the Death Penalty
Information Center estimated in its
report released today. That number
is the smallest since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976 and compares with an annual average of 295
death sentences during the 1990s.
Fifty-two people were put to death
in 11 states this year, nearly half as
many executions as 10 years ago.
The center attributes the drop in
both executions and new death sentences to fears of executing the innocent, concerns about the high cost of
the death penalty and laws that allow
inmates to be sentenced to life in
prison without parole.
Nine men who had been sentenced
to death were exonerated and freed
in 2009, the second highest-number of
exonerations since the death penalty
was reinstated, the report said.

Foreign adoptions hit
13-year low in U.S.
Senator places hold on bill
because of custody issue
The number of foreign children
adopted by Americans plunged more
than a quarter in the past year,
reaching the lowest level since 1996
and leading adoption advocates to
urge Congress to help reverse the
trend.
Big declines were recorded for all
three countries that provided the most
adopted children in the previous fiscal
year. In China and Russia, government
officials have been trying to promote
domestic adoptions, while in
Guatemala, a once-bustling but highly
corrupt international adoption industry
was shut down while reforms are
implemented.
Figures for fiscal year 2009, released
by the State Department on Thursday,
showed 12,753 adoptions from abroad,
down from 17,438 in 2008 — a dip of
27 percent and nearly 45 percent lower
than the record peak of 22,884 in 2004.
The last time there were fewer foreign adoptions to the U.S. was in 1996,
when there were 11,340.
A New Jersey senator plans to hold
up a trade bill that would benefit
Brazil because of a long-running battle

products duty-free to
the United States.
The hold was confirmed
by
his
spokesman Caley

Brazil’s Supreme
Court stopped David
Goldman
from

Sean on Thursday

Obama presses for accord
A clearly frustrated President
Obama displayed impatience today
with world leaders’ failure to reach a
new climate accord, urging them to
accept a less-than-perfect pact while
offering no new U.S. concessions.
Obama said the United States has
acted boldly by vowing to reduce heattrapping gasses and help other nations
pay for similar efforts.
But he acknowledged that some
countries feel the United States is not
doing enough, and he said an imperfect accord is better than an impasse.
“No country will get everything that
it wants,” Obama said in a brief
address to the 193 nations gathered
here to cap a climate summit stalemated after two weeks of talks.

Report concludes stadium
massacre premeditated
India has withdrawn 30,000 soldiers
from Kashmir as rebel attacks
decreased over the past two years,
the defense minister said today, but
hundreds of thousands are believed to
remain in the heavily militarized
region also claimed by Pakistan.
Kashmiri separatist groups and
Islamabad, New Delhi’s longtime rival,
have been demanding that India thin
its forces in the region to boost efforts
to settle the decades-old dispute over
the territory.
India and Pakistan have fought two
wars over control of the Himalayan
region since their partition when
British colonial rule ended in 1947.
A dozen Kashmiri insurgent groups,
which seek either independence or
merger with Pakistan, have been
fighting Indian rule since 1989.
India’s Defense Minister A.K.
Antony said that the army has withdrawn 30,000 soldiers
of its own accord
over the past two
years and has offered
to further draw down
forces in the future.
India is believed to
have 500,000 to
700,000 army and
paramilitary soldiers
in the portion of
Kashmir it controls. Antony
The killing of pro-democracy demonstrators by Guinean troops in September appears to have been
premeditated, then covered up in
organized fashion, and was not the
work of rogue soldiers, Human Rights
Watch said in a report released
Thursday.
A 108-page report on the Sept. 28
massacre in a sports stadium provides
a description of how the it unfolded
and detailed accounts of rape and
other sexual abuse.
The report concludes that members
of the elite Presidential Guard headed
by Lt. Abubakar
“Toumba” Diakite,
top aide to the military junta’s president,
were responsible for
the massacre, as has
been widely reported.
Among others considered responsible
by Human Rights
Watch are elite gendarmes under the
Diakite
command of Capt.
Moussa Tiegboro Camara.
Junta chief Moussa “Dadis” Camara
was rushed to Morocco for medical
treatment after being shot by Toumba
in a Dec. 3 dispute. The former presidential guard admitted from his
hiding place to shooting the head of
the junta in an interview Wednesday.
Egyptian archeologists lift a granite temple pylon out of Alexandria’s harbor.
Cleopatra-era relic raised
Egyptian archaeologists on Thursday
lifted an ancient granite temple pylon
out of the waters of the Mediterranean,
where it had lay for centuries as part
of the palace complex of Cleopatra,
submerged in Alexandria’s harbor.
The pylon, which once stood at the
entrance to a temple of Isis, is to be
the centerpiece of an ambitious underwater museum planned by Egypt to
showcase the sunken city, which is
believed to have been toppled into
the sea by earthquakes in the 4th century.
Divers and underwater archaeologists used a giant crane and ropes to
lift the 9-ton, 7.4-foot-tall pylon, covered with muck and seaweed, out of
the murky waters. It was deposited
ashore as Egypt’s top archaeologist
Zahi Hawass and other officials
watched.

Cattle outnumber people by a 3-to1 ratio in Uruguay.
Beef industry sees boom
For decades, the cattle-raising
family of Gabriel Pintos looked across
the Rio de la Plata with respect and
envy at Argentina’s legendary tradition for producing beef.
But scanning the vast expanse of
his 193-acre ranch, where 120 cows
nibbled on green grass, Pintos exuded
a new competitive vigor.
“Uruguay today has the maturity to
compete with any part of the world
with its beef,” said Pintos, 51. “This
is a historic opportunity for us.”
Uruguay is trying to show the world
it is dedicated to “natural” beef —
grass-fed and hormone-free by law. At
the same time, big beef investors have
begun betting on Uruguay’s more
market-friendly policies.
Terry Johnson, owner of BPU Meat,
is investing $150 million in Uruguay,

a sign the economy is improving.
The Department of Employment and Economic Development said Thursday that the
unemployment rate fell to a seasonally
adjusted 7.4 percent, compared with 7.6 percent in October. Officials said employers
added 2,000 jobs last month and an upwardly
revised 5,000 jobs the month before.
Department Commissioner Dan McElroy
said the average work week has inched up
nearly an hour since September, another
indication that business is picking up.
“We have a long way to go, but we made a
little progress,” McElroy said.
Still, the state has 83,900 fewer jobs than it
did a year ago and as many as seven job
seekers for every available position. McElroy
said demand for temporary workers dipped

OUR VIEW
Two tsunamis reshape
economy simultaneously
THOMAS FRIEDMAN
[email protected]
In case you haven’t
noticed, the U.S. economy
today is actually being hit
by two tsunamis at once:
The Great Recession and
the Great Inflection.
The Great Inflection is the mass diffusion of
low-cost, high-powered innovation technologies — from hand-held computers to Web sites
that offer any imaginable service — plus cheap
connectivity. They are transforming how business is done. The Great Recession you know.
The “good news” is that the Great Recession is forcing companies to take advantage of
the Great Inflection faster than ever, making
them more innovative. The bad news is that
credit markets and bank lending are still constricted, so many companies can’t fully exploit
their productivity gains and spin off the new
jobs we desperately need.
Two examples, one small, one large: The first
is my childhood friend, Ken Greer, who owns
a marketing agency in Minneapolis, Greer &
Associates. The Great Recession has forced
him to radically downsize, but the Great Inflection has made him radically more productive.
He illustrated this by telling me about a film
he recently made for a nonprofit.
“The budget was about 20 percent of what
we normally would charge,” said Greer. ”After
one meeting with the client, almost all our
communication was by e-mail. The script was
developed and approved using a collaborative
tool provided by www.box.net. Internally, we
all could look at the script no matter where
we were, make suggestions and get to a final
draft with complete transparency — easy, convenient and free. We did not have a budget to
shoot new footage, yet we had no budget either
for stock photography the old way — paying
royalties of $100 to $2,000 per image. We found
a source, istockphoto.com, which offered great
photos for as little as a few dollars.
“We could easily preview all the images,
place them in our program to make sure they
worked, purchase them online and download
the high-resolution versions — all in seconds,”
Greer added. “We had a script that called for
four to five voices. Rather than hiring local
voice talent — for $250 to $500 per hour — we
searched the Internet for high-quality voices
that we could afford. We found several sites
offering various forms of narration or voiceovers. We selected www.voices.com. In less
than one minute, we created an account, posted
our requirements and solicited bids. Within
five minutes, we had 10 to 15 ‘applicants’ ” —
charging 10 percent of what Greer would have
paid live talent.
“Best part,” he said, “within minutes we had
sample reads, which could be placed into our
film to see if the voices fit. We selected our
finalists, wrote them with more specific instructions and within hours had the final read delivered to us via MP3 files over the Web. We could
get any accent or ethnicity we wanted. For
music, we used a site called www.audiojungle.net,” where he could sample thousands
of cuts of music and sound effects with the
click of a mouse, and then buy them for pennies.
By being able to access all these cheap tools,
Greer got to focus on his value-add: imagination.
The customer got a better product for less
money. But he didn’t create many new jobs.
For that, he needs the economy to pick up. “If
we could only borrow a buck and invest,” said
Greer, “we’d all be rolling again.”
Farooq Kathwari, the longtime CEO of Ethan
Allen Interiors, had to accelerate reinvention
of his company for the same reasons. In the
last year, he reduced his work force by 25 percent and consolidated several U.S. manufacturing plants, including transferring all
upholstery manufacturing into a large stateof-the-art facility in North Carolina, enabling
Ethan Allen to substantially decrease its production time. The most labor-intensive upholstery work is done in the company’s new plant
in Mexico, and the components are shipped
to the North Carolina facility for completion.
“Five years ago,” said Kathwari, “it would
take about 20 hours of labor time to make a
high-quality custom sofa. Now, due to our investments in technology and a smaller work force
that is more highly skilled, the labor time to
make this sofa is about three hours.”
Everywhere he can, Kathwari says he is leveraging technology to cut costs and improve
quality to retain his competitive position in
world markets. This enabled Ethan Allen to
maintain sufficient cash to survive. “We now
produce all our advertising programs in-house,
including national television commercials, at
a fraction of the cost we spent a few years back
— just as your friend is doing,” said Kathwari.
“Our associates recognize that reinvention is
vital to our survival.”
Given its new state of hyperefficiency, any
uptick in business would really help Ethan
Allen’s bottom line and stimulate hiring, but
that requires credit markets to loosen for its
customers and store owners. Said Kathwari,
“Credit is still a vital issue, and it is not happening at the grass-roots level — or when it is,
it is very expensive.”
Strange times: The Great Recession and
Great Inflection are making our companies
ultralean, innovative and productive. But with
credit still constricted, we’re like a superfit
track star with a weak heart. We’ve got to get
credit pumping to our industrial muscles again.

ROCHESTER / EDUCATION
Speaker tells of transforming district’s culture
Muhammad rose to
prominence as principal
in suburban Detroit
By Elliot Mann
[email protected]
The Rochester school district can
transform staff division by confronting
it head on, speaker Anthony
Muhammad told a collection of community members Thursday night.
Muhammad, the author of “Transforming School Culture: How to Overcome Staff Division,” rose to
prominence in education circles for
his work as principal of Levey Middle
School in Southfield, Mich., a suburb
of Detroit.
The issue takes prominence in
Rochester schools as many have questioned the direction of the district’s
five-year plan to raise student achievement, and even the hire of Superintendent Romain Dallemand.
It’s a rift that has reached from the
classroom level to the seven-person
school board.
“He spoke to the very heart of the
issues that we’ve been dealing with,”
Dallemand said.
Muhammad spoke for two hours
Thursday, telling those in attendance
that the long-standing, fixed culture
of the American education system
doesn’t need to be tweaked, it needs
to be demolished.
Schools are tailored to place students in one of three groups — gifted,
normal or at-risk, Muhammad said,
even though all students can surpass
those labels.
Those in education have likely spent
all of the lives, from their own childhood and college to their career, in
that same system.
“How can we develop new ideas
when we’ve never been outside of the
system?” Muhammad said.
Technical instructional changes
rather than deep-rooted changes in
school culture are nothing more than
re-arranging deck chairs on the
Titanic, he continued.
Having studied several school districts, Muhammad places educators
into one of four groups:
• Believers — those who are willing
to join in on improvement efforts.
• Fundamentalists — those resistant
to changing their methods and to self-

What happened? Education consultant Anthony Muhammad spoke to

Vets to raise awareness
about missing children
Associated Press
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — About a dozen dedicated Vietnam veterans are heading out Friday on a 60-mile walk to raise awareness about abducted and missing children.
The walk is dedicated to Jacob Wetterling, who was kidnapped
from near his home in St. Joseph, Minn. The vets have done
this every five years since 1989.
Organizer Mike Clark told WJON-AM it was going to be their
last time five years ago, but their thoughts changed over the
summer with the 20th anniversary of Jacob’s disappearance.
Clark says a lot has changed since the first walk. Some of the
original walkers have passed on, and most are now in their 60s.
The first leg is from Anoka to Big Lake. On Saturday they
walk to St. Cloud. Their final day on Sunday, takes them to the
Wetterling home in St. Joseph.
Gustavus Adolphus College gets $155K grant
Associated Press
ST. PETER, Minn. — Gustavus Adolphus College recently
received a three-year, $155,000 grant from the National Science
Foundation to improve the teaching of sustainable energy in
its laboratories.
The college in St. Peter says the grant will help faculty develop
laboratories dedicated to sustainable energy, including wind,
biofuels and fuel cells. Some of the money will go to purchasing
new equipment.
The grant is intended to improve the lessons for first-year
and non-science students, science students in introductory and
intermediate courses, and junior and senior level students
majoring in the sciences.

BYRON / XCEL POWER-LINE PLAN
MILLVILLE / WEIGHT-LOSS CAMPAIGN
Byron hopes road
will take priority
By Gretta Becay
[email protected]
Some Byron city officials
are upset that Xcel Energy’s
preferred route for a new
161,000-volt power line may
interfere with Byron’s plans
for a future interchange at
the intersection of U.S. 14 and
280th Avenue.
On Dec. 3, Xcel filed a
route permit application
with the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission for the
18.3-mile line from the Pleasant Valley substation to the
Byron substation, running in
Dodge, Olmsted and Mower
counties. The line is needed
to carry electricity generated
by wind farms being proposed
in Mower County.
The part of the route nearest Byron runs along 280th
Avenue, the county line road
between Dodge and Olmsted
counties. The alternate route
for the line would cut through
fields south of Byron and run
through the industrial park.
A letter from Mary BlairHoeft, acting city administrator, to Matt Landgen at the
Office of Energy Security
said, “Byron’s West Frontage
Road was designed and built
to accommodate an interchange at that location. An
abundance of money and planning time has been put into
this location, and the city of
Byron would appreciate if this
project would be respectful
of that.”

New stadium proposal: $870m, no pay plan
year in revenue. The Wilfs have
previously offered to pay $250
million toward a new stadium.
By Brian Bakst
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The latest
design for a new Minnesota
Vikings football stadium comes
with a sliding roof, soaring windows facing downtown, a lower
price tag and an ambitious construction schedule.
The proposal calls for a stadium with 65,000 seats, up from
the current 63,500. More important, it would give the stadium
7,500 club seats and 148 luxury
suites — the big moneymakers
in sports stadiums. The
Metrodome currently has just
242 club seats and 99 suites.
What it lacks is the clear support of the Vikings or any
inkling of how to pay the $870
million bill.
Consultants to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission presented the proposal
Thursday, the latest flashy
rollout in a decade-old debate.

ARTS / STATE FUNDING
Arts groups anxiously await Legacy dollars
[email protected]
More than five months after
the state started collecting sales
tax money to benefit arts and
outdoor groups, Rochester area
arts groups are still waiting for
the money to start flowing.
“Nobody really knows at this
point what the situation is with
the money, where it’s going, how
much will be available, when
they will get it, and who will
get it,” said Bari Amadio,
Rochester Arts Council executive director.
Plenty of local arts groups
are anxiously awaiting funds
as they struggle to keep the
lights on during the economic
downturn. The Rochester Symphony Orchestra & Chorale
recently placed a full-page ad in
the newspaper imploring
people to make donations to
help the arts organization keep
its doors open. Several other
arts organizations have laid off
staff and cut down on programming.
“Really, push has come to
shove for many of us, and it
would be a shame to consider
the possibility of arts organizations that have been doing
good work ending up going out
of business because the distribution of these funds is being
postponed for political or
bureaucratic reasons,” said
Rochester Civic Theatre’s Executive Director Gregory Stavrou.
But doling out millions of dollars in legacy amendment funds
is not as easy as it might seem,
said Sue Gens, executive
director of the Minnesota State
Arts Board. Even though the
tax took effect July 1, money
did not start reaching state coffers until late August, she said.
State budget officials also asked
her to delay awarding grants
until at least the end of the year
so that money could build up
in the fund, she said.
“We’re mindful that organizations have really had a difficult time in this economy
staying viable and staying
health. We do want these dollars to go out as quickly as
we’re able to do that,” Gens
said.
In November 2008, voters
approved the Clean Water, Land
and Legacy Amendment, which
raised the state sales tax by 3/8
of 1 percent. The tax is estimated to raise $490 million in
funding over the next two-year
budget cycle. Those dollars are
divvied up as follows: 33 percent for outdoor habitat-related
work, 33 percent for clean water
projects, 19.75 percent for arts
and cultural heritage projects
and 14.25 percent for parks and
trails.
The Minnesota Arts Board is
slated to receive nearly half of
the arts dollars totaling $43 million over the next two-year
budget cycle. Of those dollars,
30 percent will be distributed
among regional arts boards,
including the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, for grants
to arts groups. The remaining
money will be given out in
grants to arts groups across the
state.
Many arts groups
are hurting
Rochester Convention and
Visitors Bureau Executive
Director Brad Jones is among
those frustrated by the time it
has taken to start distributing
the money. Jones, who serves
on several area arts boards,
said he is worried that a chunk
of legacy dollars will end up
being used to support art councils and boards instead of the
local arts groups that need the
money. He also wants to make
Three local projects get grants
Post-Bulletin staff
CHATFIELD — Three projects in southeastern Minnesota
have received Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage
Fast Track grants from the Minnesota Historical Society.
The grant money comes from
the Clean Water, Land and
Legacy Amendment, which supports efforts to preserve Minnesota land, water and legacy,
including the state’s history and
cultural heritage.
Included in the first round
of grant recipients for the
October deadline: Chatfield,
$6.750 for the Potter Center for
the Arts Historic Structure
Report; Red Wing, $1,000 for a
historic walking tour; and Zumbrota, $2,290 for a microfilm
reader/printer acquisition at
the Zumbrota Area Historical
Society.
Thirty grants for $7,000 or less
have been disbursed so far.
The society will award a total
of $6.75 million to non-profit,
educational organizations, government units and tribes during
the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years.
Deadlines for the grants are
the last Friday of every month
through 2011 depending on the
availability of funds.

sure that Rochester area groups
get their fair share of the tax
dollars.
“Unequivocally, every one of
these arts groups are absolutely
hurting right now. They are in
financial hardship because they
can’t get the sponsorships and
the corporate support and so
all of them are really struggling
and having to cut their
budgets,” Jones said.
But arts officials say not to
worry — the grant dollars will
start flowing soon. Both the Minnesota Arts Board and the
Southeast Minnesota Arts
Council plan to have applications available at the end of the
month for the grant money.
They expect to award the first
round of grants Feb. 1.

director of the Southeastern
Minnesota Arts Council, said

landed on bushes and ornamental rocks below. He left his
sandals and underwear behind
in the girl’s room, then dropped
his cell phone as he fled outside, MacLean said.
Juan originally was charged
with four felonies — two counts
of second-degree criminal
sexual conduct and two counts
of first-degree burglary — plus
misdemeanor fifth-degree
assault. He pleaded guilty Oct.
2 to a count of second-degree
criminal sexual conduct and a
count of first-degree burglary.
During the sentencing, the
defense asked Thompson to
sentence Juan to no more than
90 months in prison. MacLean
asked the judge to impose a
165-month prison sentence.
Thompson sentenced Juan to
45 months for the burglary plus
90 months for the criminal
sexual conduct conviction, for
a total of 135 months. Juan also
must register as a predatory
offender and serve a 10-year
conditional release term following his prison sentence.

ARTS
FUNDING
What happened? Some
arts groups are complaining
they aren’t yet seeing money
they’re supposed to get from
the new Legacy amendment
sales tax.
Why does it matter?
Officials are proceeding
carefully to dole out the
money, they say, but it
should come soon.
What’s next? Both the
Minnesota Arts Board and
the Southeast Minnesota
Arts Council plan to have
applications available at the
end of the month for the
grant money. They expect to
award the first round of
grants Feb. 1.

funds. The Preston lawmaker
is urging arts groups to be
patient.
“Some of the groups have to
realize that this is all brand
new and we’re putting in place
a 25-year structure, so you just
don’t do that overnight, and plus
we have to allow some money
to come in from the sales tax,”
he said.
Sen. Ann Lynch, DFLRochester, said she has heard
from some people in the
Rochester arts community wondering how long it will take to
get the money. She did caution
that the legacy dollars are not
meant to serve as gap financing
during a difficult budget time.
She added, “What we’re
sensing and hearing and feeling
is the very serious situation that
so many of our cities, our counties, our nonprofits, everyone
is feeling the pinch here of the
economic reality we’re in.”

Man is sentenced for raping child
By Janice Gregorson
the organization has had in
years past for grants. She said
a big challenge has been coordinating with regional arts
council to make sure everyone
across the state is using the
same criteria to award grants.
“We’re trying to make sure
that any new applications that
are coming in are done fairly,”
she said.
Pearson said the council is
looking at getting a new space
because the 600-square-foot
office is inadequate to meet
with applicants and do interviews. The organization is also
looking to increase staffing from
1 1/2 full-time employees to 2
1/2 or 3 full-time employees.
While the expansion is coming
at a time when lots of arts
groups are trimming staff,
Pearson said this expansion is
long overdue and will save the
organization money.

How about Jewish deli? Or German place?
QUICK BITES • KIMBERLY VAN BRUNT
[email protected]
A couple of weeks
ago, I listed my
ideas for the restaurants I’d like to
see fill some gaping holes in Rochester’s restaurant
scene. It turns out that some of my
readers are as passionate as I am
about the topic.
John Pacchetti of Rochester echoed
my call for an authentic Thai restaurant. “Thank you for bringing attention to how much we need a Thai
restaurant in Rochester,” he writes.
“Not a week goes by that I don’t address this same issue with friends
and family.”
A new idea came from Ellyn Wiens
of Rochester, who longs for a Jewish deli/restaurant. “The Matzo ball
soup, corned beef… just waiting to be
sliced and piled high on Jewish rye
bread, the hoppel poppel (an egg and
potato dish) for breakfast … makes
my mouth water just thinking about
it,” she writes.
And Jean Wanek, also of Rochester,
writes, “I sure would love to be able
to stay in town and eat some good-old
German food once in a while. For
those of us that love it, we have to
drive quite some distance to get our
favorite dishes.”
First, I’ll point Jean to Jasper’s
Alsatian Bistro on historic Third
Street downtown. They have several
German-flavored dishes, though
their focus is on the food of Alsace,
which is just a little different. I think

wine or food. Prices vary; see their
Web site for details.
Speaking of nuts, Roscoe’s
Barbeque has a few gift items as well,
such as Steve Ross’s homemade “hot
nuts,” which are pistachios, almonds
and pecans marinated in Roscoe’s
award-winning BBQ seasonings. They
also offer a sauce gift pack including
several varieties of their BBQ sauces
and a jug of rib rub. Pick them up at
Roscoe’s BBQ North on East Circle
Drive.

there’s room in Rochester for a German place, too, right?
Last-minute gift ideas
If you’re like me, you’ve accepted
that your intentions to finish your
Christmas shopping early were just
that — intentions. The good news is
that everyone has to eat, and some
area restaurants are making it easy
to wrap up your list.
New this year, Sontes is offering a
selection of wine-themed gift baskets.
The baskets include several bottles
of wine, and some also have olives,
nuts, cheese and sausage, or seasonal
fruit and chocolate. Or you can ask
Sontes to create a custom basket
based on your recipient’s favorite
•
If you’re free Saturday afternoon,
you can get some great advice on
finalizing your holiday menu.
Johnny Mangouras will be hosting a
free food and wine sampling event at
Apollo Liquor on 55th Street Northwest from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Mangouras
will demonstrate how to prepare and
serve his own creations, like skillet
cordon bleu, Chicago-style skillet New
York steak and a prosciutto gorgonzola
potato cake. Four wines, from a reisling to a monastrell, will be available
for sampling all afternoon, as well as a
couple holiday drinks.
With a qualifying wine purchase,
you’ll get a gourmet cheese board, and
your name will be entered in a drawing for an in-home, four-course food
and wine experience with Mangouras.

We have a hunger for sunlight as we
approach the winter solstice. Here’s a
site to warm you up. Read on.
www.die.net/earth/
We all crave the sunlight as we near
the day with the shortest length of sunlight in our parts. Here’s the world sunlight map. Watch
the sun rise and set all over the world on this real-time,
computer-generated illustration of the earth's patterns of
sunlight and darkness. The clouds are updated every three
hours with current weather satellite imagery. I’d have to
call it cool.
www.chateau-lanapoule.com/vr/
In Cannes, longtime visitors tell me you must visit the
legendary Chateau de le Napoule. If it’s not in your budget, take a look here at its virtual tour. It’s a good way to
do a virtual tour with various vantage points identified
and the icons show you where the view is sweeping. Looks
especially nice on a cold day here in Rochester.
http://eatingtheroad.wordpress.com/
Here’s a great food blog that blends humor, good food
ideas and lists of the best foods. Go there and pick around.
I’ll bet you find something you like. They just had a beer
guide that’s informative, but also full of good humor. Take
a look.
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/
columns/updraft/
If weather is of interest — and if you’re a Minnesotan,
it’s hard not to be interested in the weather — check out
MPR’s Updraft weather blog. If you hear some chatter with
MPR’s meteorologists, you might find more of it at the blog.
It’s good. A recent post compiled historical climate data to
show we have a 78 percent chance of a white Christmas in
Rochester. I’m betting on it.
www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html
Crazy stuff has come up since the Tiger Woods affairs
were revealed. Here’s a game that was put together shortly
after the news broke last month. It is a bit tasteless and
not for everyone, but it’s just one of many examples out
there of how these stories turn into much more than just
someone’s bad decisions.

Choral Arts Ensemble’s
newest CD, features holiday music from around the
world.
Among the international
tunes are carols from Canada, England, Spain and Germany. There’s also music
by one of the world’s foremost composers of Christmas music, John Rutter, as
well as “Gabriel’s Message,”
arranged by Josh Shank,
“Little Lamb,” by David
Cherwien, and a new carol
commissioned by the ensemble from David Dichau.
The title track, “Joy to the
World,” was arranged by the
ensemble’s artistic director Michael Culloton and
recently featured on Minnesota Public Radio.
“It captures the different
moods of the season, the joy,
the wonder, the mystery,”
Culloton said of the CD.
The CD is available online
through iTunes and the Choral Arts Ensemble Web site
or by calling 252-8427.
Continued flirtation
will look like desperation
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR
[email protected]
DEAR
ANNIE:
For two
years and
counting,
I have been attracted to a
married man. We became
friends at work and would
go out to lunch occasionally. I would flirt, and he
would reciprocate. I know
he was attracted to me.
Recently, I was laid off
from this job and decided
to tell him my true feelings.
He seemed shocked. He
said he was flattered and
hoped he hadn’t done or
said anything I might have
misinterpreted.
All of the lunches, flirting
and body language were not
my imagination. I want to
see him to talk more about
this situation, and also to be
in his company as a friend.
What do you recommend?
— Confused and In Love
DEAR CONFUSED:
We recommend you find
someone else. This man
may have encouraged your
flirtation, but he is now
telling you that there has
never been anything more.
He is married. He is not
interested. Any further approach from you will look
like desperation and stalking. Stop.
DEAR ANNIE: I have
been dating “Carol” for
a year. We have a great
relationship and only seem
to argue about one thing
— she refuses to spend
the night. We have been
intimate since we started
dating, and I have told her
it’s important to me that she
stay over once a week, but
•
she hasn’t done it yet.
Carol also has lied to
me a couple of times. I
found out six months into
our relationship that she
is three years older than
she claimed (making her
five years older than I am),
and she also said she has
a college degree when she
doesn’t. She apologized,
saying she thought I would
think less of her if I knew
the truth.
I want her to spend the
night because it would show
me how much she cares.
I want to be with her, but
should I after the lying and
the fact that she won’t make
an effort to stay until morning? — Mr. T
DEAR Mr. T: A lot of
women lie about their age,
so we’d let that slide. The
college degree is a more
serious fabrication, especially if she uses it to land
a job. There could be many
reasons why Carol doesn’t
want to spend the night, and
you don’t need to make such
a big deal out of it. But is it
possible there is one more
lie? Might she be married
or have a child, and this is
why she doesn’t sleep over?
The bottom line is, if you
are dissatisfied with the
relationship and you cannot
effect change, it is better to
break it off sooner rather
than later.

QUICK
Choirs, ensembles will fill
airwaves with holiday music
SPINS
“Elvis 75: Good Rockin’ Tonight”
Elvis Presley, (Legacy)
“I don’t sing like
nobody,” an 18-year-old
Elvis Presley famously
told Sam Phillips’ secretary Marion Keisker
when he showed up at
Sun Studios in Memphis
to record the version of
“My Happiness” in 1953.
Billy Altman retells that
story at the start of his
liner notes for “Elvis
75,” whose title refers to
the King’s 75th birthday,
which is coming on Jan.
8.
The box set has 100
songs on four CDs.
None are unreleased or
alternate takes. Instead,
“Elvis 75” sticks to the
basics, from the incandescent early Sun sessions to the late swagger
of “Suspicious Minds” and “Burning Love.”

Richard Thompson, (Shout! Factory)
The one-of-a-kind fretwork we’ve heard before, and
Richard Thompson on guitar remains as distinctive
and thrilling as contemporaries Jimi, Jimmy or Jerry.
The boundary-defying blend of musical genres is familiar, too, as is the potent lyrical cocktail: two parts
melancholy, one part humor.
No, there’s nothing new in “Walking On a Wire,”
a four-CD, career-spanning set. Yet the collection is
revelatory because it shows how consistently Thompson has delivered through the years. There’s not a
dud in this 71-song batch, and the many highlights are
sprinkled across the decades.
The list of 1960s musicians is short but includes
Thompson, whose muse has never flagged. Perhaps
the best song he ever wrote is the penultimate selection in this set, the poignant but funny “Dad’s
Gonna Kill Me,”
inspired by the
Iraq war.
Or maybe the
best song is
“1952 Vincent
Black Lightning,” a folk
tune about keys
to a motorcycle
and much more.
Or maybe it’s
“Dimming of the
Day” from 1975,
a ballad lovelier than a Land’s
End sunset.
Vote for your
own favorite —
“Walking On a Wire” includes at least one song from
every Thompson album. He generously gives ex-wife
Linda an extended turn in the spotlight, which is warranted because longtime fans still mourn the demise
of their partnership in 1982. There are five cuts from
his days with Fairport Convention, and obscurities
from live albums Thompson released as “official bootlegs.”
Missing is his cover of the Britney Spears hit “Oops!
... I Did It Again.” Also absent is “The End of the
Rainbow,” perhaps the best gloomy lullaby ever. With
Thompson, four CDs of material simply isn’t enough.
— Steven Wine, Associated Press

Bruckner, Symphonies 3 and 4
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra,
Mariss Jansons, conductor; RCO Live
The Royal Concertgebouw is the latest orchestra to
strike out on its own with recordings of live performances under its own name.
They’re recorded live over a period of dates, so
some of the immediacy is missing, but the pairing
of the Bruckner Third and
Fourth makes
great sense and
the performances are first-rate
— profound and
at times surprisingly lyrical,
but played with
discipline and
more restraint
than is sometimes heard.
Anyone can
make the heroic outer movements of the
Symphony No. 4
sound good, but Jansons makes the inner movements
sound just as well-conceived and convincing.
The finale is fabulous and full of signposts to
Mahler, whose symphonies build upon the ground
that Bruckner broke.
If you’re new to Bruckner, there’s no better place to
start than these two symphonies, and this recording’s
a superb introduction.

Stop trying to revive
and control relationship
ASK AMY • AMY DICKINSON
[email protected]
DEAR
AMY:
Almost a
year ago,
my boyfriend and
I broke up. We adored each
other and brought tremendous joy to each other’s
lives, but we also had
serious trust and boundary
issues and a broken, dysfunctional, unhappy relationship.
After the breakup, I
couldn’t help myself, so I
kept contacting him. Eventually I stopped.
In September I wrote him
a letter explaining my feelings. I took the opportunity
to call him out on some of
his faults.
I tried my hardest to use
non-accusatory, constructive, empathetic, accountable language, in hopes that
he would hear and acknowledge my feelings.
His response was a text
message telling me that my
opinion means nothing, and
to never contact him again.
The last time I contacted
him was in a text telling
him that he was an emotionally abusive partner, and to
never again cause or tolerate such suffering.
Now it is the holiday season, and I want to express
my good will in spite of all
the pain we caused each
other.
The motive for sending a
card is to extend an offer-
•
•
ing of peace.
The motive for not sending a card is the desire to
respect his request for no
contact.
So many of our problems
stemmed from a lack of
respect for each other’s
boundaries, and I do not
want to perpetuate it.
Most important to me is
that I act with grace and
integrity here. I appreciate
any thoughts you have on
the matter. — Thoughtful
Ex
DEAR EX: If you send
your ex a holiday card,
you’ll spend the bulk of January waiting for a response
and then mind-texting him
when you don’t receive it.
Stop. Stop examining your
feelings and composing
perfectly non-accusatory
holiday greetings in your
head.
Stop trying to revive —
and control — a dialogue
between the two of you.
The most graceful way to
behave is to come to terms
with your shortcomings
(and his), forgive yourself
for any behavior you regret
(forgive him too) and then
move on, vowing to be better and do better next time.
That’s a holiday gift that
really keeps on giving.

[email protected] or by mail

BEER
OF THE WEEK
Pranqster Belgian
Style Golden Ale
This beer has a rich, yellow-gold hue.
Sweet candied and spicy
hop aromas give this beer
a strong, yeasty theme of
banana. It follows through
on a moderately full-bodied
palate with a fruity, rich
mouthfeel and a spicy hop
note on the finish.
This is a complex and
stylish interpretation of the
classic Belgian Golden Ale
style.
This beer is 7.6 percent
alcohol by volume.
This week’s Beer of the Week
was submitted by John Martin,
manager at Apollo Wine & Spirits at Maplewood Plaza. If you
would like to submit to Beer of
the Week, send it to

ZUMBROTA — Pianist
George Winston has tacked
two concert dates on to the
end of his current tour and
will now perform Monday
and Tuesday at Crossings at
Carnegie in Zumbrota.
Winston’s tour was due to
end Sunday after a show in
Minneapolis. Now he will
stay in Minnesota two extra
days before heading home
to California for the holidays.
Winston’s December concerts are not Christmas
shows in that he does not
limit himself to songs of the
season. However, audiences
can hope that Winston will
pull a few songs from his
“December” album: “Carol
of the Bells,” “The Holly and
the Ivy” and “The Christmas
Song.”
Winston, 60, has been recording since 1972 and is
regarded as one of the pioneers of the instrumental
music scene. Besides his
dozen solo albums, he has
also recorded five soundtracks.
His best-known work,
aside from his seasons albums, is his album of songs
from the “Peanuts” TV specials by Vince Guaraldi —

HINTS
DEAR READERS: You should install
carbon-monoxide detectors near bedrooms in your home to prevent possible sickness or death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly
gas that occurs when fuels, such as
gas, oil, coal or wood (in boilers, oil
burners or water heaters), are burned
incompletely. The gas then permeates
your home — about 65 percent of carbon-monoxide-related deaths come
from heating systems.
• Have your furnace and water heater maintained properly and checked
by a professional at least once a year.
This is a must!
• Buy a detector that is certified by
the Underwriters Laboratories. The
packaging should have the UL letters
in a circle logo. Do not buy a used detector.
• Carbon-monoxide detectors should
be placed either high or low on the

TOM: That’s why no one brings you
cake, you knucklehead. Mechanics and
tradespeople usually are not tipped,
like waiters or taxi drivers are. This is
especially true in smaller, independent
shops, where the mechanic may also be
the owner.
RAY: But that doesn’t mean you can’t
express your gratitude. The best ways
to do that are by (1) giving a sincere
compliment, (2) becoming a regular
customer and (3) recommending him to
your friends.
TOM: An honest “thank you” and
an expression of appreciation means a
lot to a mechanic. Think about all the
complaints we get, most of the time.
We encounter a lot of suspicion and
wariness from our customers — and
rightfully so! But when we do a good
job, it’s awfully nice to have someone
smile and tell us how much they
appreciate it.
RAY: Especially when it’s sincere.
And remember, nothing says sincerity
like baked goods!

So, should you tip your mechanic?
Would it be insulting? Would it be
appreciated? How do you know how
much you should tip if, indeed, you
should tip at all? I ask because recently
I went to a mechanic I found in The
Mechanics Files on your Web site
(www.cartalk.com/mechanics). I had
two problems. No. 1: I had a nail in my
tire (turns out it had not created a leak,
but they spent some time searching to
be sure). No. 2: My engine was dying
at awkward times, and they discovered
that a little hose that connects the
vacuum sensor had a tear, and replaced
it. They didn’t charge me a penny!
When he told me this over the phone,
I was astonished. They get paid a lot
for their time, and they could have
spent that time earning money by fixing
someone else’s car. I decided to insist
they take some money. But when I got
there, it occurred to me that it might
seem ungrateful of me, or insulting,
so I chicken ed out and thanked them
too many times and left. The next day
I brought them a homemade chocolate
cake, and thanked them again. But I
wonder if I’m ignorant of some code
or courtesy that would make a tip
appropriate. Please advise! — Kyleleen

JUNIOR HOCKEY / MNJHL SHOWCASE
Ice Hawks Anderson comes to the rescue
Forward scores
winning goal with just
3.9 seconds remaining
By Ben Pherson
[email protected]
BLAINE, Minn. — For months, Rochester Ice Hawks forward Korby Anderson has begged the coaching staff to
add Alex Campbell to
his line.
Anderson has skated
with Tyler Groth since
last season. Coach
Nick Fatis has experimented with a variety of
forwards to play alongside Groth and Anderson.
But this week Fatis
finally listened to

Anderson.
That line accounted for two more
goals Thursday, including the gamewinner with 3.9 seconds
remaining, in a thrilling 4-3 victory over the

during the Minnesota

Super Rink.

sure how the puck found his stick.
“We saw there wasn’t much time left,
and Campbell just threw it out in front
of the net,” Anderson said. “He got it out
there, and it bounced off about five guys’
sticks before it got to me. I just swung at
it; I almost missed the puck, but somehow it found the corner.”
Groth scored the Ice Hawks’ first goal,
which tied the game, 1-1, in the first
period.
That line also scored two of the Ice
Hawks’ three goals in Wednesday’s 3-1 win
over the Twin Cities Northern Lights.
“Campbell is a good fit,” Fatis said.
“Korby said something awhile back, and
everybody has kind of aluded to it, that
Alex should skate with Korby and Tyler.
A player like Campbell tends to do whatever the line around him is doing. If
they’re playing phenomenal, he’s playing
phenomenal. He’s a great team player,
and offensively he’s as talented as they
come. With that top line looking good,
we’re in a great situation right now.”
Anderson said he thinks that line
can be even better. They’ve had only a
few practices and two games together.
That’s a scary scenario for the rest of
the MnJHL.
“We took a huge step forward, and I
know coach sees it and the other guys
see it that we’re playing well together,”
Anderson said. “I like Campbell. He
sees the ice well, and he makes great
passes. And me and Tyler clicked right
away last year.”
Anderson and Groth have produced

NBC keeps Vikes-Panthers in prime time
Favre is ratings draw,
even if game may not be
At the beginning of the season, the
Minnesota Vikings playing at Carolina
on Sunday in Week No. 15 of the season
seemed like an attractive matchup.
Both teams were coming off divisional
championships and were strong favorites to repeat.
Only the Vikings have kept up their
side of the bargain, however. They are
11-2, have clinched a playoff spot and
could clinch the NFC North with one
more win.
The Panthers, on the other hand, are
dismal. With a 5-8 record, they are going
nowhere but home in January.
Yet this game will be shown nationally in prime time by NBC. With the flex
scheduling option, the NFL and NBC
could have switched games, but the
network decided to keep this one.
Here’s why.
The most attractive games on Sunday
are Bengals-Chargers and PackersSteelers but CBS and Fox are allowed
to protect a certain number of games
each year from NBC’s flex schedule,
and those were two of them.
Thanks to the NFL Network, both
unbeaten teams were also off the board
this week. The Colts-Jaguars were televised on the NFL Network on Thursday
and it will have the Cowboys-Saints on
Saturday.
The Monday night game — this week
Giants-Redskins — is unmovable, thus
leaving 49ers-Eagles, Dolphins-Titans,
Falcons-Jets, Patriots-Bills as possibilities to be moved to a Sunday night
slot.
NBC said no, it would rather televise
the Vikings and Brett Favre, who is
always a ratings-winner, even though
both flopped two weeks ago on Sunday
night in Arizona.
That game in Arizona, if you remem-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Peyton
Manning completed every pass early
and one big one late, exactly what
the Indianapolis Colts needed to stay
unbeaten.
Manning threw for 308 yards and four
touchdowns, including a 65-yarder to
Reggie Wayne to go ahead for good, and
the Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars
35-31 Thursday night to improve to 14-0
for the first time in franchise history.
The wild game on a cool night
included 714 yards, 43 first downs, 10
lead changes, five punts, several big
plays and just two turnovers.
The Jaguars (7-7) had a chance to
win it in the closing minutes, but David
Garrard overthrew Mike Thomas on a
third-and-10 play with about a minute to
play. Jacob Lacey intercepted the ball,
and the Colts ran out the clock.
Indianapolis extended its NFL-record
winning streak in the regular season to
23 and became the third 14-0 team in
league history, joining the 1972 Miami
Dolphins and 2007 New England Patriots. New Orleans can join the list with
a victory over the Dallas Cowboys on
Saturday night.
Jacksonville lost for the third time in

The Vikings host the Giants on Jan. 3

it could potentially have implications
for a first-round bye or the Giants may
need a win to get into the playoffs.

integrity is lacking in college basketball
and cited Kentucky coach John Calipari
as an example.
During a fundraiser for the Indiana

he doesn’t understand why Calipari is

“We’ve gotten into this situation
where integrity is really lacking and
that’s why I’m glad I’m not coaching,”
he said. “You see we’ve got a coach at
Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he’s still coaching. I really
don’t understand that.”
Massachusetts and Memphis were
both sanctioned by the NCAA for
violations committed during Calipari’s
tenure.
Knight, who won a record 902 games
as coach of Army, Indiana and Texas

Penn St. goes for 3 straight
TAMPA, Fla. — Penn State is one
win away from setting another volleyball record, earning the chance for a
third straight national title by beating
Hawaii 23-25, 25-18, 25-15, 25-18 Thursday night.
The Nittany Lions (37-0) overcome a
sluggish start and dropped only their
sixth set of the season before extending their record winning streak to 101
matches. It was also coach Russ Rose’s
1,000th victory.
Penn State will face Texas on Saturday night. The Longhorns swept Minnesota 25-19, 25-20, 25-15 in the other
semifinal.
The 101-match streak is second in
Division I team sports behind the Miami
men’s tennis program’s 137 straight
wins from 1957-64. The Nittany Lions
haven’t lost since falling to Stanford in

Mary Grace Flesher had
two goals and two assists as
host Rochester Mayo defeated
Mankato East 7-2 on Thursday
in Big Nine Conference girls
hockey.
Courtney Schubauer and
Kelli Anderson also scored a
pair of goals for Mayo, which
built an early 3-0 lead.
“Courtney Schubauer really
stepped up for us tonight
getting seven shots on net and
scoring two really nice goals,”
Mayo coach Jeff Phillips said.
“She has elevated her game in
many areas. She has become
a significant offensive threat
and is also doing really well
on penalty kills, killing off
two five-on-threes in the last
two games.”
Olivia Mewhorter also
scored for Mayo. Emma Leof
added a pair of assists.
Jamie Clay was in net for
Mayo. She had 12 saves. The
Spartans outshot East 35-12.
“We wanted to come out
and play with intensity for
three periods,” Phillips said.
“The girls did a great job
of this shutting down East’s
attack and limiting their shots
on net.”
Mayo plays at Chaska at 2
p.m. Saturday.

tied the score at 1-all.
West outshot the Rockets

up.”
JM/Lourdes is 3-7 overall
and plays Blake at 8:15 p.m.

FARMINGTON — Emily
Severson had three goals

“They spread it around
pretty good,” the coach
added.
Allie Schulte scored Century’s lone goal 27 seconds into
the third period. Rebecca
Lorsung assisted.
Farmington held a 38-10
shot advantage. Hannah
Kautto played the first two
periods in goal for Century
and Sultanna White played
the final period.

SKI & SNOW / GLOBAL WARMINGT
Global warming could
hamper ski resorts
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Ski
resorts across the country
used the Thanksgiving weekend to jump start their winter
seasons, but with every passing year comes a frightening
realization: If global temperatures continue to rise, fewer
and fewer resorts will be able
to open for the traditional
beginning of ski season.
Warmer temperatures at
night are making it more
difficult to make snow and
the snow that falls naturally is
melting earlier in the spring.
In few places is this a bigger
concern than the American
West, where skiing is one of
the most lucrative segments
of the tourism industry.
The industry is still grappling with leaders in some
of their own ski-crazy states
who refuse to concede that
humans have an impact on
climate change. Chief among
them is Republican Utah
Gov. Gary Herbert, who says
he will host what he calls the
first “legitimate debate” about
man’s role in climate change
in the spring. The former Realtor who took office when Jon
Huntsman resigned to become
U.S. ambassador to China
maintains that it wasn’t.
“He’s said to me that the jury
is out in his mind whether it’s
man-caused,” said Herbert’s
environmental adviser, Democrat Ted Wilson.
Herbert’s reluctance to
acknowledge that greenhouse gases contribute to
global warming frustrates ski
resorts that depend on state
marketing money. It infuriates
industry officials who liken
it to having a debate about
whether the world is flat.
“That’s just kind of raging
ignorance,” said Auden Schendler, of Aspen (Colo.) Skiing
Co. “We’re not environmentalists, we’re business people.
We have studied the (heck) out
of the climate science. To have
a neighboring governor not
believe it ... It’s absurd.”

defense, and the Montreal
Canadiens once again came
up short despite finally
outshooting an opponent.
Koivu broke a first-period
tie with a power-play goal,
and Backstrom made 30
saves, leading Minnesota to a
3-1 victory over Montreal on
Thursday night.
Robbie Earl opened the
scoring early in the first, and
Koivu restored the Wild’s onegoal lead later in the period
with his 10th goal, tying
Andrew Brunette for the team
lead. Cal Clutterbuck added
his sixth goal in the third.
“Early in the game, you
get the lead and you get the
team going, and I think it’s
important on the road,” Koivu
said. “We did a pretty good
job defensively, even if they
had a lot of shots. In the third
period we tried to keep it tight
in the middle, and obviously
Backstrom played a great
game so that always helps.”
Backstrom extended his
personal winning streak to
four as the Wild won their
second in a row. Minnesota
is 9-2-1 following a four-game
losing streak.
“I think we played a pretty
good game,” Backstrom said.
“The guys on defense did a
great job to help me see the
puck.”
Andrei Kostitsyn scored for
Montreal, which has dropped

Pat Williams yearns to
got out as Super Bowl champ
McClatchy New Service
MINNEAPOLIS — Pat
Williams hasn’t been as
rollicking and outspoken this
season as in the past, but the
Vikings Pro Bowl nose tackle
cut loose after Thursday’s
practice.
The 13-year veteran said
he’ll retire if the Vikings win
the Super Bowl this season
and will walk off the field
wearing
nothing but
“tights and
socks” after
tossing his
equipment
to fans.
W h i l e
some of that
is just Pat
being Pat,
i t ’ s c l e a r P. Williams
the threetime Pro Bowl selection feels
on top of his game — both on
and off the field — after a
slow start to the season.
Williams, 37, admitted a
minor knee procedure last
offseason hindered him early,
but he’s regained his form as
a dominant run-stopper. In
the past two games, Williams
has registered 10 tackles,
three tackles for loss, two
pass breakups and a quarterback hurry. And his imposing
presence in the middle of the
line has been more noticeable.
Vikings defensive coordi-
Team
nator Leslie Frazier said he
and line coach Karl Dunbar
adjusted Williams’ workload
in practice to help preserve
his body.
“He’s really stepped it up,”
Frazier said. “I think a combination of his getting his body
and legs in football condition
along with what we’ve done
with his reps in practice have
improved his play, which in
turn has made us a better
defense. The second half of
the season, he’s really taken
off and played like the Pat
of old.”
Williams has 55 tackles and
is tied for second on the team
with eight tackles for loss. He
said any fluctuation in his
play is a byproduct of how
opponents prepare.
“I always play the same,”
he said. “It’s just what the
other team is going to give
us.”
Williams calls the defensive line “outlaws” and the
members even have special
matching jackets. But what
about the backups?
“They’re part of the gang,”
he said. “We have to be
up front riding the horses
and the rest of them riding
behind us. That’s how outlaws
ride.”
Williams leaves the outlaws
in obvious passing situations
and estimates he’s still playing 30 to 35 plays per game.
To him, that’s the ideal
amount.

Montreal’s Roman Hamrlik did not play after leaving
Wednesday night’s game with

out, Montreal’s defense was

night earlier.
“It’s a tough thing we’re
going through,” Canadiens
defenseman Hal Gill said.
“We’ve been playing a lot
better, we’ve been in games,
we’re just coming out on the
wrong end of them and we’ve
got to find something to make
the difference. We’ve got to
dig a little deeper and get
some goals and find a way to
capitalize on chances.”
Carey Price stopped 18
shots and fell to 2-5-2 in his
last nine starts.
The Canadiens held a 31-21
advantage in shots, the first
time they have outshot an
opponent in 10 games.
“That was our goal, to go
and put the puck at the net,

and were strong in all areas.
Part of me feels that if we had
played a little bit better game
it would have been a different
match but that’s the way it
goes. They are huge at the net
and any balls that came to the
net they dominated.”
After losing the first two
sets, the Gophers jumped to
a 12-8 lead in the third. But
Texas (29-1) went on a 12-1
run, punctuated by a pair of
double blocks, both involving
Hooker, the Big 12 Player of
the Year.
Engle, a 6-3 lefthanded,
setter/hitter, presented
matchup problems for the
Gophers, who often pitted
5-10 Hailey Cowles against
her. Cowles led the Gophers
with 12 kills and added two
service aces.
“She’s a tiger of a player,
but to have her matched up
against Engle for two rotations, we knew that wasn’t
going to bode well for us,”
Hebert said.

Rochester John Marshall
can enter the holiday break
with some positive vibes,
courtesy of a sophomore who
picked a great time to score
his first varsity goal.
Forward Jared Kristo
scored with about two-and-ahalf minutes to go in the third
period as JM topped Mankato
West, 3-2, in
a Big Nine
Conference
boys hockey
game at the
Rochester
Recreation
Center.
R y a n
Yetzer and
Matt Cyr
assisted on
Kristo
Kristo’s goal.
Yetzer had the puck behind
the goal and attempted a
wrap-around. The puck
bounced off of the West
goalie, Kristo picked it up
and tucked it in the upper
corner.
The goal gave JM a boost,
snapping a two-game losing
skid and sending it into the
holiday break on a high note.
The Rockets led 2-0 after two
periods on a pair of goals by
the team’s leading scorer,
Zach Johnson, one unassisted, the other assisted by
defenseman Alex Antolak.
West (0-3-0 Big Nine, 1-4-0
overall) scored twice early
in the third period to tie the
score.
The Rockets played without
two regular defenseman, and
coach Scott Lecy said junior
Anthony Johnson played a
tremendous game on the blue
line, rarely leaving the ice.
JM outshot West, 33-28,
and junior goalie Bryan King
stopped 26 shots.
“I wouldn’t say it was
pretty,” Lecy said, “but it was
a nice win and a nice way to
go into the Kiwanis.”
JM (2-0-0, 2-6-0) is idle until
the Kiwanis Festival, Dec.
28-30.
MAYO 8, EAST 1

skilled and we played well
defensively,” Mayo assistant
coach Dustin Hookom said.
“We didn’t give them any
odd-man rushes.”
Mayo outshot East, 38-27.
Stefan Elde stopped 26 shots
to earn the victory.
Jonathan Smolders, James

HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK / BASKETBALL, HOCKEY
Ice Hawks
keep surging
Dover-Eyota off to blazing start despite injuries
Team gets even
with Lumberjacks
By Ben Pherson
[email protected]
BLAINE, Minn. — Every
player in the Rochester Ice
Hawks locker room Thursday
had no trouble recalling the
last time they played the Granite City Lumberjacks.
The result? A 9-1 blasting
at the hands of the Minnesota
Junior Hockey League leaders.
“That’s not who we are,” Ice
Hawks coach Nick Fatis said.
That’s certainly not who the
Ice Hawks were Thursday.
Korby Anderson was the
hero Thursday, scoring with
3.9 seconds remaining to give
the Ice Hawks a 4-3 victory on
the final day of the Minnesota
Junior Hockey League showcase at Schwan Super Rink.
The win gave the Ice Hawks
the championship trophy of
the showcase’s Blue Division,
which comprises the MnJHL’s
top three teams.
It also signaled the third
consecutive loss for the Lumberjacks and the eighth straight
win for the Ice Hawks.
The Ice Hawks continued
their hot play, inching closer
and closer to the 60 minutes
of hockey for which Fatis has
been begging.
“We’re doing more things
right than we have been at any
other time this season,” Fatis
said. “Every game seems to be
getting better. We talk about
playing 60 minutes of hockey,
and every game the kids seem
to be getting closer to that.”
The Ice Hawks’ top line of
Anderson, Alex Campbell
and Tyler Groth were sharp
again Thursday after leading
the team with a pair of goals
in Wednesday’s win over the
Twin Cities Northern Lights.
Anderson got the gamewinner, with Campbell setting
him up. Groth scored the
team’s first goal.
The Lumberjacks are arguably the fastest and most
skilled team in the league,
and they showed it in the first
period. Every time the puck
found a Lumberjacks’ stick, it
seemed they headed down the
ice on an odd-man rush.
“They’re that fast and that
talented,” Fatis said.
Despite the many odd-man
opportunities, Ice Hawks
goalie Simon Eriksson kept
things close in the first period.
Eriksson let one in, but Groth’s
goal allowed the Ice Hawks to
escape the first tied at 1.
Rochester’s best period
might have been the second.
However, the Ice Hawks had
nothing to show for it. They
dominated the pace of play
and put several quality shots
on Lumberjacks goalie Henrik
Wood. But they couldn’t put
one in the net.
Instead, the Lumberjacks
took advantage of a rare Ice
Hawks mistake and headed to
the third with a 2-1 lead.
Despite the late setback,
Anderson said the team wasn’t
discouraged.
“We weren’t down because
we knew we played well, we
just didn’t bury our chances,”
P-B’S 3
STARS
1. Korby Anderson.
Anderson scored the
game-winning goal with 3.9
seconds remaining. This
star should be split with
his linemates, Tyler Groth
and Alex Campbell.
2. Mike Lezotte. The
defenseman has improved
his play in the Ice Hawks’
end, and he helped set up
the offense Thursday with
a pair of assists.
3. Simon Eriksson.
Though the stat sheet says
Eriksson finished with just
27 saves on 30 shots, the
bulk of those 27 saves
came on odd-man rushes.
He kept the Ice Hawks in
it during the first period,
when the Lumberjacks had
their best scoring chances.
Anderson said. “We were still
feeling really good coming into
the third.”
It showed.
The Ice Hawks put three
goals on the board in the final
20 minutes. Joe Velasquez
opened the scoring, going topshelf for a tally 8:15 into the
third. Justin Phelps set up the
play with a shot from the other
side of the net. Mike Lezotte
also earned an assist.
The Ice Hawks went ahead
3-2 with 9:21 remaining when
Zack King scored on a nice
feed from Shaun Walters.
George Jackson also assisted.
But the Ice Hawks couldn’t
hold the lead. The Lumberjacks scored with 1:53 remaining to tie it at 3.
The Ice Hawks put together
one last good rush, with Anderson carrying the puck behind
the net. As he did, a Lumberjacks player grabbed him, and a
penalty was on the way. Anderson left the puck behind the
net for Campbell, and Campbell’s pass through traffic found
Anderson, who buried it, setting
off a wild celebration.
When the clock finally hit
zero, the full celebration
ensued and the Ice Hawks
claimed their trophy.
“I’m pleased,” Fatis said.
“We played two great games
up here.”
The Ice Hawks finished with
a 47-30 edge in shots on goal,
including 17-5 in the third
period.
The Ice Hawks improved to
21-5-0-1. They return to action
Saturday in Isanti against the
Minnesota Owls.
It’s not surprising that the
Dover-Eyota girls basketball
team is off to a 6-0 start and
ranked No. 3 in Class AA this
week. But maybe it should
be.
Dover-Eyota, which won 27
games last season, has been
handicapped by an earlyseason injury bug.
Senior starters Jodi Batzel
and Natalie Baker have both
missed the last three to four
games, Batzel with a sprained
neck, and Baker with a separated shoulder.
Both returned to practice
this week and played sparingly Tuesday in the Eagles’
69-53 win over St. Charles,
and they’ll play about half
the game tonight against
Wabasha-Kellogg.
“Even though we’ve been
injury-prone we have played
well as a team, and we’ve had
some players really step up,”
said D-E head coach Brian
Harris. “Without Batzel (who
is 6-1) our tallest girl is 5-foot9, but the other girls inside
have been awesome.”
Senior forward Desirae Lee
has blossomed into a proven
scorer, averaging 18 points per
game, up from 4.7 last season.
Lee, who is only 5-foot-7 but
plays center, tied a school record
with 36 points in last Friday’s
win over Lewiston-Altura.
She followed with a 20-point,
17-rebound effort Tuesday.
Senior forward Alycia Courson (12.3 ppg) has also played
well, and senior point guard
Briana Mayer is averaging
over eight assists per game.
D-E is averaging about 60
points per game, down four
points from last season. But
Harris said his Eagles are
playing better defense, allowing 42.6 points per game.
“The biggest thing is our
senior leadership; we have
nine experienced seniors,
when they’re all healthy,”
Harris noted.
Harris spent Thursday
night scouting Caledonia at
Rushford-Peterson. D-E is at
No. 7 ranked Caledonia (6-1)
next Tuesday.
All three of D-E’s losses last
season were against Caledonia, the unbeaten Class AA
state champion.

Eagles Jackson on verge on joining some select company
Thanks to DeSean Jackson,
Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch's
name has been in the news
lately. This is a good thing
because there's no such thing
as too much "Crazy Legs."
Hirsch was a star wide
receiver for the Rams in the
1950s when players were more
likely to have cute nicknames
than inflated egos. He was
given his name while at the
University of Wisconsin by
sports writer Francis Powers,
who said Hirsch ran like "a
demented duck.'' (Hirsch also
played at the University of
Michigan.)
When asked about the
unique tag, the good-hearted
Hirsch often replied, "Any
name is better than Elroy.''
But he was more than a nick-
•
name.
In 1951 with the Rams,
Hirsch became the first NFL
player to score eight touchdowns of at least 50 yards in a
single season. Chicago's Devin
Hester tied him in 2007.
Jackson joined the group on
Sunday with a 60-yard touchdown reception against the
Giants.
Hirsch and Jackson needed
only 12 games to get their
remarkable eight. It took
Hester 16 games. Hirsch's
achievement, however, was
the most fruitful for fantasy
purposes; each of Hester's

scores and three of Jackson's
came on kick returns. Hirsch's
were all touchdown receptions.
In leagues that reward
yardage and distance, Hirsch
would have been a one-man
cyclone.
And if they were playing
fantasy football in 1951,
Hirsch would have won a lot
of championships, when he
had six catches for 146 yards
and three touchdowns in the
final week of the regular
season.
Hirsch's season totals of 66
catches, 1,495 yards and 17
touchdowns in 12 games
project to a Jerry-Rice-esque
88-1,993-23 over 16. Hirsch also
led the Rams to the 1951 NFL
title.

Did you hear about Grant’s new film?
Songs, cars and
stocking stuffers
Associated Press
CROSSWORD /
THOMAS JOSEPH
LONDON — It’s been two years since Hugh Grant’s last film,
but he’s returned to the big screen — opposite Sarah Jessica
Parker — in “Did You Hear About the Morgans?”
“On the last film I did, ‘Music and Lyrics,’
although I really enjoyed it and I liked the
film, I did get terrible panic attacks,” he says.
“And I sort of thought after that ‘I’m not keen
to have more panic attacks,’ so that kept me
away.”
Grant, whose screen credits also include
“Notting Hill” and “Four Weddings and a
Funeral,” says he was pleased to again work
with Marc Lawrence, his director on “Two
Weeks Notice” and “Music and Lyrics.”
Grant
“I like the idea of being out in the Wild
West. I love shooting on location, it’s much
more fun, and the whole dynamic of the character, of a guy
who spends half the film trying to unfrost a woman, and I
understand that dynamic,” the 49-year-old actor says.
The woman his character wants to melt is his wife, played
by Parker. (The Manhattan couple, who are in a rocky marriage, are sent by the FBI to Wyoming after they see a murder.)
“Did You Hear About the Morgans?” opens in U.S. theaters
today.
First in the hearts of advertisers
McClatchy Newspapers
LOS ANGELES — It may be struggling to attract viewers,
but NBC’s new “Jay Leno Show” leads prime time in one
important category: product placement.
According to Nielsen data dug up by Time
magazine, Leno’s new, five-nights-per-week
show has tallied more than 1,000 product mentions since it premiered in September, more
than 200 ahead of the second-place “WWE
Monday Night Raw.”
The rest of the top 10 list was, essentially, all
of TV’s biggest reality shows (in order): “The
Biggest Loser,” “American Idol,” “Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition,” “The Celebrity
Apprentice,” “Top Chef: Las Vegas,” “America’s Leno
Next Top Model,” “Project Runway” and “Dancing With the
Stars.”
Nielsen said the most effective use of product placement
was the Subway sandwich chain’s joining forces with the weightloss program “The Biggest Loser.”
Christmas, the season of compromise
McClatchy Newspapers
LOS ANGELES — Zooey Deschanel (“500
Days of Summer”) says she and her acting
sister, Emily (“Bones”), differ in their anticipation of Christmas.
“Emily likes to sleep in on Christmas
morning and I like to wake up early, so
Christmas was a day of compromise,” she says.
“I think that Christmas is always used at
any point in the year to cheer us up ... We
Zooey Deschanel would use that to cheer each other up if
we were in a sad mood or something, we’d
just start talking about Christmas. So we always have loved
Christmas.”

McGraw, who share some
anecdotes about vehicles
they’ve loved and lost.

HOROSCOPE / HOLIDAY MATHIS
SATURDAY, DEC. 19
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
What you see, though it’s
nothing unusual, will astound
you. You will be filled with a
quiet wonder at what this
drama is all about. Make some
small effort to solve this question and you will be amply
rewarded.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’re good at thinking up
places you’d like to visit. What’s
more difficult is actually
making it happen. Luckily, difficult endeavors are your specialty. Pick one place and start
making plans to go there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Being choosy can invite the
antagonisms of your friends,
but they quietly wish they were
as finicky as you. Having high
standards is the best way to
maintain quality in everything
you are associated with.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
It’s not that you need constant
harmony to feel OK about life.
But the more stable your relationships and job, the more you
can be there for other people.
Be glad for your current state
of peace.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Something in your love life is causing
you concern. Then again, something in your love life is usually causing you concern.
Maybe you’re a little bit
addicted to the drama.
Knowing that, proceed and
enjoy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your senses are turned up, particularly your sense of smell.
One scent will stand out. Since
olfactory stimulants have
tremendous power to trigger
memories, this will be a nostalgic day for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
can’t be stopped. Tasks fall by
the wayside like wheat felled
by a sharpened scythe. You are
swinging smooth and strong. At
the end of the day, look back
on your good work and feel
proud.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As
a rule, you don’t like to lean
on others. But rules are made
to be broken. A slight lean will
bring you closer to someone.
It’s also nice to know that you
can trust the universe to provide a friend, even if it can’t
provide a solution.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Months ago, you did a bit
of groundwork for some future
plans that never came to
fruition. Or so you thought. Life
has a way of usurping our manufactured timelines. You’ll start
to see that your work was not
wasted.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll be the student today, and
the teacher isn’t who you think
it is. Wisdom comes from
unlikely quarters, and perhaps
even from one who has proved
in the past to be quite foolish.
It’s a new day.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Remember when you resisted
change? Now you realize that
letting go and allowing the
wind to carry you is more fun
and takes less energy. New
reserves of strength you had
no idea existed are now at your
disposal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Like a banner pulled behind
an airplane at a football game,
your emotions are right out
there, available for anyone to
see. Sometimes you wish this
weren’t so, but people love you
for a transparency they envy
but cannot match.
