In spite of neighbors opposing any additional water storage facilities in St. Marys
Park, Rochester Public Utilities unveiled
two new possible site plans for a water
reservoir in the park area Tuesday.
The two new options are both
3.5-million-gallon ground storage tanks.
One is suggested just north of the originally proposed site within St. Marys Park.
The other recommendation, which is the

new favorite of the project consultants, is
mostly on a Saint-Marys-Hospital-owned
parcel immediately west of the park. Both
options would lead to the removal of
the existing 1.5-million-gallon reservoir
in the park and the aging 580,000-gallon
tank at Fourth Street Southeast while
still meeting the downtown area’s water
storage needs.
“I dislike the proposed tank going on
a park as opposed to a parking lot or
some other site,” said Yuri Saito-Loftus,
who lives nearby. “Once you build a
3.5-million-gallon tank onto a small park
site, you change the nature of that park
forever.”
Even though one proposed site isn’t
technically in the park, it comes right up
to it, said Laura Gilliland. “Visually it
would have just as large of an impact on
the park as anything else would.”
“Where the sun sets behind that is an
amazing view over the top of the hospital,” she said.
Based on Tuesday’s presentation at the
RPU board meeting, Frank Hawthorne,
president of the Historic Southwest
Neighborhood Association, said the
hospital-owned site is preferable to the
original plan, which sat on top of the
playground. However, neighbors still
don’t want to see construction of a new
tank in or near the park.

At 8 years old, Andrew Sorenson is smart,
endearing and quick-witted.
But in his short life, the second-grader has
already been bullied at school, his mother told
an audience of about 80 people at Tuesday night’s
Post-Bulletin Dialogues community meeting at
John Marshall High School.
“My son attends Franklin Elementary. He’s been
bullied for three years,” said Andrew’s mother,
Jennie Buckland, who wants the school system to
protect her child. “This year he needed six stitches
on his face. Nothing was done.”
Buckland said she spoke to Andrew’s teacher,
who works hard to intervene, and to school administrators and staff at Rochester Public Schools
administrative offices. She said she was told by
administrators that, in essence, Andrew is “blowing things all out of proportion.”
She emotionally described her son being sent
home from school with no shoes (after they’d
been pulled off his feet by other students during
the school day), and the 8-year-old getting called
names like “faggot” and “snitch” when he reports
bullying.
“I remember being told in middle school that it
was all my fault that I was being bullied,” a man
in the back of the room interjected.
“That’s what I would consider a crime, when it
results in stitches and a hospital bill and a permanent scar on his face,” Buckland said.
Three people involved in dealing with bullying
at the local, regional and state level joined Managing Editor Jay Furst in responding to questions
and comments at the meeting, a monthly event
presented by the P-B.
Elizabeth Nida Obert / [email protected]
“I shouldn’t have to go to the Edison Building to get something done,” says Jennie Buckland of the bullying her son, Andrew Sorenson, a second-grader, has endured at Ben Franklin Elementary School.
Danielle Borgerson-Nesvold,
of Austin’s Community Against
Bullying, spoke directly to Andrew
and told him, “You’re going to be
something great some day. But
don’t let other people create you.”
He got applause from the entire
audience.
After the forum, Andrew said
he’d like school to change “by
other children being nice to
me and sharing, because lately Borgersonthey won’t share that well on the Nesvold
swings.”
Several audience members said they’d been
bullied when they were young, or that their children are being bullied at various schools in the
area. A few pointed out that bullying exists in some
workplaces, too, not just in schools.
Minnesota state Rep. Debra Hilstrom, DFL-
Brooklyn Center, said there has been a bipartisan
effort to pass stronger anti-bullying legislation
in Minnesota, but she couldn’t get the bill out
of committee during the most recent legislative
session.
If the latest proposal were to become law, she
said, it would require school personnel to be
mandatory reporters for bullying. If bullying rises
to the level of a crime, schools must call law
enforcement. Also, non-identifying data about
each assault would be posted online so parents
will know the school’s status.
“This is a public school system. It’s your school
system,” Vangie Castro, youth programs education
manager for the Diversity Council, told the audience. “You have the power to change it.”

Friedell speller makes national bee, again
By Edie Grossfield
Roshini Asirvatham was feeling fairly confident
Tuesday afternoon as she prepared to compete this
week in the 85th annual Scripps National Spelling
Bee in National Harbor, Md.
It is the Friedell Middle School eighth-grader’s
second experience at the national bee — she was
there in 2010 — and this time, she is far less nervous,
she said in a phone conversation Tuesday.
Asirvatham, 12, is one of five students representing Minnesota among 278 spellers from throughout
the country.
In February, she won the Southeast Minnesota
Michele Jokinen / [email protected] Spelling Bee Championship, which qualified her for
the national competition. She won the regional bee

“I think I did all right,” she said after the Round
One test, adding that she would be spending the rest
of the day studying for the semifinals.
“For these next two rounds, there’s a set list given
to us by Scripps for us to study, so I’m going to go do
that. But beyond that, it can be from anywhere in the
dictionary,” she said.
Asirvatham became a great speller by competing
in spelling bees since she was a little girl. “So, I’ve
just been getting better at it,” she said.
She’s not sure what her chances are this year of
ending up the Scripps champion.
“But I’m feeling a lot more confident than I did in
sixth grade. I did prepare a lot better, and I’m just
going to go as far as I can,” she said.
Asirvatham plans to follow in her parents’ footsteps
by pursuing a medical career. Her mother is a nurse
and her father is a physician at Mayo Clinic. Roshini
also wants to be a doctor, specializing in cardiac
electrophysiology, which is the study of the heart’s
electrical system.
The National Spelling Bee semifinals begin Thursday at 9 a.m., and the championship rounds begin at 7
p.m. ESPN (including ESPN2 and ESPN3) is providing live coverage of the competition.

WATER TANKS New owners plan changes at S. Broadway hotel
From page A1
Although large, the footprint of the tank would be
about 4 percent of the total
park property, said RPU
General Manager Larry
Koshire. Plus, the cost
estimates include $60,000
for park enhancements
to make sure the tank is
screened, he said.
Also still on the table are
two options at the current
Fourth Street Southeast
reservoir site near the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market: a ground level
tank surrounded by a sloping berm, or a
hydropillar or water tower. Both would
provide 2 million gallons of storage. Neither
would lead to the removal of the existing
1.5-million-gallon tank at St. Marys Park.

“That’s something that when I have family
visiting, that I would show off and be excited
about,” said Mike Repede about the bermed
tank that would serve as a lookout over the
Zumbro River. “That way we would have
turned a problem into an opportunity and
have something cool we can brag about.”
Before coming to a consensus on which
proposal to back, RPU board members
noted the need for even more information.
That includes meeting with Mayo Clinic
officials to find out if the Saint-MarysHospital-owned site near the park could
be negotiated for and also if the Federal
Emergency Management Agency would
approve rebuilding at the Fourth Street site,
which is located in a flood plain.
A final board decision on the project,
which would need city council approval, is
expected this summer. Construction would
begin in 2013.

Sarah Monson of Rochester speaks during the Post-Bulletin Dialogues community meeting about bullying Tuesday
night at John Marshall High School.
People share their stories
Many say immediate
intervention would help
By Jeff Hansel
The Post-Bulletin Dialogues meeting
at John Marshall High School on Tuesday night elicited a variety of stories
about bullying in several area school
districts.
Bryan Hunt, 45, of Rochester, said his
12-year-old son, Sam, was bullied during
his entire sixth-grade year. Sam received
a concussion a few weeks ago after being
“tabled” — one student knelt in front of
his son while another pushed him over,
Hunt said.
Hunt, a Mayo Clinic administrative
assistant, said he’s trying to lead by
example, seeking to improve himself
despite the long-term effects of bullying he endured during high school in
Rochester.
Hunt said he was told during the meeting to contact law enforcement about
what happened to his son but hadn’t
done so yet.
District actions
Rick Ehmke, of rural Mantorville,
whose 13-year-old daughter, Rachel, died
by suicide last month, said he had spoken
with her about bullying interventions.
“My daughter’s last words were, ‘Dad,
they never did anything. It just got
worse,’” he said. He asked why school
administrators can’t intervene immediately, meet a bully at the school bus
and remove that student from the school
system.
Schools often cite privacy constraints
and decline to comment on specific
students’ cases. But several audience
members suggested parents are left
powerless when they report bullying to
the school system, the state education
department and even law enforcement.
Though some school employees try to
intervene, some audience members said,
bullying isn’t seen as a serious-enough

ANTI-BULLYING SUGGESTIONS FROM PANELISTS AND AUDIENCE MEMBERS
Steps to address bullying suggested by panelists and
audience members:
• Contact a teacher and principal.
• Talk to a school liaison officer and ask if what happened is
a crime.
• Contact the school superintendent.
• Speak with the school board.
• File a complaint with the Minnesota Department of
Education.
• File a complaint with the Minnesota Human Rights
Commission.
• File a class-action lawsuit.
• Contact law enforcement officers or file a police report.
• Switch to a private school or district that is more
welcoming.
• Withdraw your child from public school and home-school
them.
• Contact legislators.
• Attend school board meetings with other affected families
and ask that school policy be changed in ways that make the
school environment safer for students.
• Educate students and teachers about bullying and its
effects.
• If you’re not getting help or if you’re getting bad avice,
seek other opinions.
• Connect with other affected parents.
• Tell your child to ask, when a negative comment is made,
“Did I just hear that? Where did it come from? Who created
it?”
• Learn what your kids are interested in or concerned about.
Try texting them to learn how they’re feeling because many
kids will communicate better via text than in person.
• Visit your child’s classroom as a guest.
• Encourage your child to start an anti-bullying peer support
group at school, which will probably require a teacher sponsor.

After six years as the sales
and marketing director for
Rochester Magazine, Kristy
Mintz has been named the
brand marketing manager for

the newspaper to
advertisers and readers.
“We have four
times the reporting
power of any media
outlet in southeastern Minnesota, but Mintz
we don’t tell anyone
that,” Mintz said. “We’ve
been a little too humble for
a little too long.”
During her six years at
Rochester Magazine, Mintz
oversaw sales and marketing
as the award-winning magazine transitioned to a fullglossy product.
“In her years with the
Post-Bulletin Co., Kristy
has excelled in successful
marketing of Rochester Magazine, now the premiere city
magazine of the region,” said
Randy Chapman, publisher
of the Post-Bulletin and
companion publications of
the company. “Her stature

about.
“We have a phenomenal
team of writers and creative
people — we have to blowour own horn a little,” Mintz
said.
Mintz replaces John Withers, who is retiring after

COURTS
Judge asks for more info
in city bus service lawsuit
Another hearing
will be set later
By Jeffrey Pieters
[email protected]
(507) 285-7748
Rochester City Lines’
lawsuit to block the city from
awarding the Rochester transit service to a rival company
returned to Olmsted District
Court on Tuesday.
But a 31⁄2-hour hearing on
City Lines’ request for a court
injunction
to block
the transfer ended
inconclusively, with Judge Joseph
Chase asking for more information to be provided to him
before another hearing can
be scheduled.
City Lines, the operator of
city bus service since 1966,
asserts that it, and not the
city government, owns the
city bus service — that is, the
routes, schedules and other
operational plans — and that
the city is illegally taking its
property and handing it to a
competitor.
Meanwhile, the city —
which owns the buses, bus
shelters and streets, and
funnels a multimillion-dollar
federal subsidy to the transit
company — contends that a
Federal Transit Administration order forced the city
to offer a 54-month service
contract through a competitive bidding process.
First Transit, a Cincinnatibased company, scored highest among four bidders in a
professional evaluation of
likely service quality, had
the lowest-price bid, and
received the contract earlier
this spring. The new contract
starts July 1.
Update
Selection process
City Lines argues the selection process was biased
against the company, and
cited some December statements from council members,
upset over City Lines’ insistence on a first-time $144,000
“profit” line in its current sixmonth contract, as evidence
of that.
“You can’t get a fair hearing from a body that declares
you an extortionist,” said
Steven Diaz, attorney for
City Lines, who referred to
an “insidious plot” to remove
the longtime transit company
that he believes dates back
to 1997.
The city denies its method
of selection was biased and
points to the scoring results
of the bid-evaluation committee, composed of a mix of city
officials and outside transit
experts.
The four outsiders, one
from La Crosse, Wis., one
from the Twin Cities and two
from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, rated
City Lines’ proposal more
harshly than the city officials
did, said John Baker, attorney for the city.
“All of them put Rochester
City Lines fourth out of four
(bidders),” Baker said. And
“it was a distant fourth.”
Routes and schedules
Matters came to a head
after May 11, the date City
Administrator Steve Kvenvold sent letters to First Transit and Rochester City Lines,
asking each to submit route
and schedule information
in compliance with requirements of their city transit
franchise agreements.
First Transit responded
with information that
matched City Lines’ current
routes and schedules. City
Lines did not respond.
It would have been an “idle
act” to do so, Diaz said.
“They’re throwing us under
the bus,” he said. “This freeway is being built on our
land.”
Chase, however, contended
that, as a judicial matter,
it’s not possible for him to
conclude the city unfairly
treated City Lines with
regard to routes and schedules if the company did not
submit any.
City Lines has been
quoted in media reports and
suggested in court, Chase
said, that it might offer a
competing service by omitting the unprofitable routes
and “cherry-picking” the
ones with heavy ridership.
Chase instructed the city to
advise him in writing by the
close of business today how
long it would take to review
and make a decision on a
route and schedule application from City Lines.
A court hearing date would
be set after that.

Leaders discuss ties between city, South Sudan
African official also will
meet with clinic reps
[email protected]
(507) 285-7744
A possible link between Rochester
and South Sudan got a push Tuesday
when Sapana Abuyi, deputy governor of Western Equatoria State in
South Sudan, met with Mayor Ardell
Brede.
The trip was a follow-up to last
year’s visit by a government delegation from South Sudan, including
the governor of Western Equatoria,
in June to meet with Brede, Mayo
Clinic officials and an Augsburg
College professor.
On Tuesday, Brede also met with
Alfred Ladu Gore, South Sudan’s
minister of environment, who was
seeking information about environmental practices and how Rochester
is such a clean city, Brede said.
“They want to maintain a relation-
ship and friendship and are looking
for suggestions of who to talk to,”
Brede said of his international visitors.
After last year’s visit, Abuyi said,
Mayo Clinic provided the first
consignment of quantitative medical equipment, which was divided
among three hospitals in Western
Equatoria State. The equipment
made it possible for African Union
doctors to perform surgeries in South
Sudan, whereas before, patients had
to be transported to Kenya for minor
surgeries, Abuyi said.
Abuyi also planned to meet with
Mayo Clinic officials while he’s in
Rochester this week.
“We are looking for better relationships with my state and your
state, especially Rochester,” Abuyi
said.
Partnerships could include everything from agricultural to educational resources, he said.

Group to challenge voter ID amendment
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — A coalition plans to announce a
legal challenge to a proposed
constitutional amendment that
would require voters to present photo IDs at the polls.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota is
being joined by the League
of Women Voters Minnesota,
Jewish Community Action and
Common Cause Minnesota.
The groups began threatening to sue as the Legislature
debated whether to put the
amendment before voters in
November. The groups plan
to announce details of the
lawsuit today.
During the legislative
debate, the groups said the
language of the amendment
is confusing and that it leaves
unclear several questions,
including what types of photo
IDs would be permissible at
the polls. Amendment supporters countered that the Legislature would ultimately work
out details that aren’t in the
amendment.

And while the state has been
affected by fighting with the Lord’s
Resistance Army, security is improving since the capture of the LRA
commander, he said.
Now the region is looking for
volunteers to come teach, especially
English, since it was designated as
the official language of South Sudan,
he said. Local administrators of the
new government also want to learn
how to manage a state, he said.
“I’ve already seen a lot of things
that will shape my thinking on how
to go back,” Abuyi said.
Just seeing the number of farms
between South Dakota and Rochester inspired Abuyi to learn how to
best use the land. Much of Western
Equatoria is wild but ripe to grow
corn, rice and beans.

Romney clinches Republican ticket
By Kasie Hunt
Associated Press
Mitt Romney has won the Republican presidential nomination after
y
years
of fighting, though his
triumph was partially over1 shadowed by the celebrity
businessman who helped him
along the way.
As primary voters in Texas on
Tuesday pushed him past the 1,144delegate threshold he needed to
win the nod, Romney was raising
money in Las Vegas with Donald
Trump, the real estate mogul who
has stoked doubts about whether
President Barack Obama was born
in America.
It’s the start of a weeklong push
to raise millions of dollars during a
West Coast swing as Romney looks
to bring in as much cash as possible
ahead of a ramped-up campaign
schedule later this summer.
“Mr. Trump, thank you for letting
us come to this beautiful hotel and
being with so many friends. Thank
you for twisting the arms that it
takes to bring a fundraiser together,”
Romney told the approximately 200
people who paid thousands to attend
the event at the Trump International
Hotel. “I appreciate your help.”
2
The Trump event and surrounding
controversy overshadowed the Texas
primary win that officially handed
Romney the nomination, a triumph
of endurance for a candidate who
came up short four years ago and
had to fight hard this year as voters
flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals.
According to the Associated Press
count, Romney surpassed the 1,144
delegates needed to win the nomination by winning at least 97 delegates
in the Texas primary.
The former Massachusetts governor reached the nomination milestone with a steady message of
concern about the U.S. economy, a
campaign organization that dwarfed
those of his GOP foes and a fundraising operation second only to that
of Obama, his Democratic general
election opponent. He outlasted a
half-dozen Republican opponents
to clinch the nomination later in
the calendar than any recent GOP
nominee.
Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while
persuading swing voters that he can
do a better job fixing the nation’s
struggling economy than Obama.
In Obama, he faces a well-funded
candidate with a proven campaign
team in an election that will be heav-

Fundraising and spending soar
Gov. Scott Walker, the Wisconsin Republican who faces

2011 to more than $30
million, a sum more
in keeping with a
national race. Walker’s campaign said
he had raised $20

third governor in
the nation to face a
recall election, and for months he has been picking up
contributions from large donors outside the state. Under
state law he is allowed to collect donations without limits
to their size to cover expenses for the period of time before
the recall election was officially announced, in late March.
And he did so — in some cases, in sums as high as $500,000
from a single person.
Spending, too, has been remarkable by Wisconsin standards, and with only days left until the election June 5,
the radio and television airwaves in the state are packed

South Carolina
Questions swirl around governor
A fight — once thought extinguished — is in full swing
over whether South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley illegally
lobbied while a Lexington County state representative,
exploiting her public office for personal financial gain.
A legislative panel must decide soon whether to clear
Haley of the allegations, dig deeper into them or punt the
matter to the full House of Representatives. Legislators
also could seek guidance from South Carolina Attorney
General Alan Wilson.
The decision will be made against a
backdrop of hostility.
Haley and another top-ranking Republican, House Speaker Bobby Harrell of
Charleston, late last week traded jabs
over whether the ethics process has been
hijacked.
The first-term Republican governor
contends an out-of-control political system
is intent on taking her down.
Haley’s critics say the governor is
Haley
“crying wolf” to distract attention from
a legitimate investigation into whether
she sold her public office to the highest private bidders,
a Lexington hospital seeking state approval to expand
and a Columbia-based engineering firm that worked for
the state.
Haley said Friday that she has turned over all documents requested by the House Ethics Committee, including affidavits from the hospital and the engineering firm,
and they prove she never lobbied to get state favors.
Earlier this month, that committee appeared to have
ended the inquiry. The panel decided the allegations
against Haley were sufficient to warrant an investigation.
But then the committee, which had been meeting in secret
for a month, immediately voted along party lines, 5-1, to
clear Haley of the charges.
After Democrats objected that the panel could not vote
to investigate and then end the inquiry without any further
questioning, the panel reversed course, asking for more
information from Haley and those who paid her.
Haley claims Harrell, whom she clashed with bitterly
when she was a GOP state representative and he was the
leader of the House, unfairly is influencing the panel’s
staff, encouraging further, unnecessary digging.
“It was dismissed based on fact. It was brought back up
based on politics,” Haley said Friday. “I’m governor now
whether people like it or not. Let me do my job.”
Harrell has denied Haley’s charges, saying his only
involvement was to encourage the panel, made up of five
Republicans and one Democrat elected by the full House,
to conduct a full, thorough investigation.
“The governor is … trying to distract the public from
what is a very serious matter,” Harrell said Friday. “These
are major criminal violations of the law that Governor
Haley has been accused of committing.”

Dewhurst, Cruz head to
GOP runoff for Senate
In a heated race for the open U.S.
Senate seat in Texas, Lt. Gov. David
Dewhurst failed to win enough votes
in the Republican primary Tuesday to
avert a runoff with Ted Cruz, a Houston
lawyer who cast the election as a battle
between the moderate Republican
establishment and Tea Party conservatives.
Dewhurst was the
front-runner in a field
of nine candidates
seeking to replace Sen.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, a
Republican who is retiring after three terms.
Dewhurst, a rancher
and businessman who
pumped more than $9
million of his fortune Dewhurst
into his campaign and
who was backed by Gov.
Rick Perry, fell a few points short of
exceeding 50 percent of the vote and
faces a July 31 runoff with Cruz, who
placed second, according to The Associated Press. Tom Leppert, a former
Dallas mayor, was a distant third.
In a speech in Houston to cheering
supporters Tuesday night, Dewhurst
focused not on Cruz but on the Obama
administration.
‘’Tonight we Texas

said. “Tonight you

Illinois
More than two dozen gay and lesbian
couples in Illinois plan to file lawsuits
today arguing that it’s unconstitutional
for the state to deny them the right to
marry, a move advocates hope will lead
to legalized same-sex marriage in Illinois.
The two lawsuits - backed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois
and the New York-based gay advocacy
group Lambda Legal - include couples
from the Chicago area, Bloomington and
Marion. Both challenge a state law that
defines marriage as between a man and
woman, arguing that the Illinois Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex
couples to marry under due process and
equality clauses.
Legislation to eliminate the law’s
language that prohibits gay marriage is
pending, but a vote isn’t expected before
the legislative session is scheduled to
end this week. — Associated Press

Lawmakers to consider
‘gestational carriers’
As a July 1 deadline looms for foie
gras nears, renegade chefs across the
state are loading their menus with
the fatty duck liver and holding
secret dinners to avoid protesters.
Foie gras feeding frenzy
grows as ban nears
Chefs are loading their high-end
menus with duck liver: terrine de foie
gras, seared foie gras with mango chutney, foie gras salad and sweet foie
gras for dessert: And they are keeping
secret the locations of their multi-course
dinners to avoid protesters as a July 1
ban looms in California, the only state
to outlaw foie gras.
Demand for the delicacy created by
force-feeding ducks through funnel-like
tubes has never been higher as diners
sate their palates with a product that
soon will be banned for production and
sale in the Golden State.
While gourmands stockpile foie gras at
$60 a pound, others are stomaching the
frenetic food fest with disdain.
“High-end foodies and chefs stuffing
down their throats excessive amounts
of fatty liver from force-fed ducks in the
run-up to the ban paint a pretty ironic
picture,” said Jennifer Fearing of the
Humane Society of the United States.
As the California foie gras feeding
frenzy escalates, protesters in San Francisco and Los Angeles are staking out
restaurants and even making reservations to tie up seats at dinners they know
they’ll never attend.
The California legislature gave the
state’s only producer, Sonoma Artisan
Foie Gras, more than seven years to
come up with a cruelty-free way to fatten
the duck’s liver when in 2004 it voted in
the ban on producing and selling foie
gras. Absent that, a coalition of chefs
have mounted a lobbying campaign to
try to overturn the law in the future, and
the foie gras dinners are funding that
ongoing effort. — Associated Press
Twenty-five years after the landmark
Baby M case focused international attention on the rights of surrogate mothers in
New Jersey, state lawmakers are poised
to consider a new measure that would
allow residents to formally contract with
— and pay — women to carry a donated
embryo to term.
The move has rekindled the kind of
emotional reactions that were so much
a part of the Baby M controversy, with
backers of the bill and its opponents
scrambling to press their arguments
before a vote in the state Senate on
Thursday.
But while three states criminalized
surrogacy after the Baby M ruling, New
Jersey never did, despite a ruling from a
bioethics commission that said the state
should do just that.
Supporters argue that these so-called
“gestational carriers” are different
from surrogates because the birth mothers are not using their own eggs but,
rather, donated fertilized eggs. Under
the proposal, women would give up their
rights to the child and, in return, could
be paid an uncapped sum for living
expenses through their pregnancy.
Opponents say the bill
would violate the rights
of all birth mothers and
“lead to the radical
creation of a breeding
class that is exploitive
of women.”
“This is without
question the most radical, most unregulated
arrangement,” said
Harold J. Cassidy, who

served as chief counsel
in the Baby M case and said gestational
carriers are nothing new and go back
to the 1980s.

bill — said even among the handful of
states that allow carrier agreements,
New Jersey’s bill, sponsored by Sen.
Joe Vitale, D-Middlesex, would “strip
away” safeguards built into the adoption
process to screen prospective parents
and to preserve the rights of the birth
mother.

we have ever had goes out the window,”
Cassidy said. — Associated Press

Victims of brutal war rejoice at
Taylor sentencing
Amputees who are still struggling to lead normal lives
years after they were mutilated by the rebels backed by
ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor, hailed the decision
by judges at The Hague on Wednesday to sentence him to
50 years in prison.
In a landmark
ruling by the Special
Court on Sierra
Leone last month,
the 64-year-old
Taylor became the
first former head of
state since the aftermath of World War II
to be convicted. He
is to spend the next
half-century behind The SCSL found Taylor guilty

thousands of people
during their country’s brutal civil war which ended in 2002.
“He has done bad things to us,” said 22-year-old amputee
Sento Thoronka of Taylor, as she attempted to cut weeds
this weekend before the verdict using only her right arm.
Her left arm was hacked off by the RUF, a common terror
tactic by the group, which was backed by Taylor, in return
for blood diamonds.
“There is nothing someone can say to me that will ever
make me forget what he did, because when I look at myself
I look odd. I’ll never feel fine about that,” she said.
Taylor is an ex-warlord whose rebel forces invaded Liberia in 1989, marking the start of that country’s vicious civil
war. He eventually ran and was elected president, before
being forced out by another rebel group. In Liberia, which
shares a border with Sierra Leone, the irony has always
been that Taylor is being tried for crimes he aided and
abetted, rather than the ones that he is accused of directly
carrying out in his own country.
In the Liberian capital of Monrovia, Suzanah Vaye
watched the proceedings and hailed the sentence. Her
husband was killed during the last days of Taylor’s government in 2003. “Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that justice
in one place is justice everywhere,” said Vaye. “Had Taylor
not been so cruel to his own people here, he would not have
taken it elsewhere. Today, I join Sierra Leoneans in saying
this should be a lesson to people that God has his own way
of bringing judgment... Let this be a lesson to leaders that
no one is bigger than God.”
But Taylor also remains popular in Liberia among his
former supporters, and among his extended family.
“The sentence is outrageous,” said Arthur Saye, Taylor’s
brother-in-law, in Monrovia. “How can you give a man fifty
years for only aiding and abetting.” — Associated Press

Julian Assange loses appeal
By Janet Stobart
Associated Press
Julian Assange, founder of
Wikile
Wikileaks,
the whistle-blowing
website, lost his appeal
1 Wednesday in the highest British Court against
extradition to Sweden on
rape and sexual molestation
charges.
Assange did not attend the
10-minute judgment passed
down by British Supreme
Court, where dozens of
supporters waving placards
in support for his cause stood
outside the entrance.
Judge Nicholas Phillips,
presiding over the sevenmember panel, told the court
the judgment “was not an easy
decision to make.”
Assange’s defense argument
was that the Swedish prosecutor who issued the European
Arrest Warrant demanding
his extradition was not a valid
judicial authority.
Phillips told the court that
the panel eventually gave a

majority vote of five to two,
ruling that “the Swedish
public prosecutor was a judicial authority and the request
for Mr. Assange’s extradition
has been lawfully made and
his appeal against extradition
is accordingly dismissed.”
Dinah Rose, Assange’s
defense attorney, was given
two weeks to consider the
judgment and confer with
her client and make a further
application and possibly
reopen the case on a legal
point.
The 40-year-old Australianborn Assange is under house
arrest in eastern England in
the mansion of a supporter.
He denies the charges and
his fight against extradition
is based on the grounds that
once in Sweden he could be
extradited to the United States
to face charges for leaking
State Department documents
on the Internet.
The crowd of supporters
gathered outside the court
with placards and banners
saying “Free Assange” and
“Free Bradley Manning,”
referring to the U.S. Army
analyst suspected of releasing secret diplomatic documents to Assange for his
website. Manning is presently
in custody in the U.S. awaiting
trial.

Australia
Proposed broader slavery definition
Australia’s attorney general on Wednesday introduced
legislation that would broaden the legal definition of slavery to include organ trafficking and forced marriage.
Existing slavery laws mainly protect Asian women from
being brought to Australia to work as sex slaves in brothels.
The proposed amendments would create a new offense
of forced labor to address a growing number of men and
women who are exploited in other industries.
“A common factor of contemporary slavery and trafficking — from forced labor
and forced marriage to organ trafficking —
is the misuse and abuse of power,” Attorney General Nicola Roxon told Parliament.
“Such an abuse has no place here.”
Australian authorities have detected
only one case of trafficking for organ transplant. An elderly Sydney woman with
kidney disease flew a younger woman
from the Philippines with the intention
of transplanting her kidney. Police interRoxon
vened before the transplant took place,
alleging that the younger woman had not fully consented
to the plan, which was discovered during routine hospital
screening interviews.
Roxon said that while such conduct was already illegal
under exploitation laws, the new organ trafficking offense
clarified the circumstances of a crime and increased police
powers to investigate. Organ trafficking would be punishable by a 25-year prison sentence under the legislation.
Forced labor would be punishable by 12 years in prison.
Using coercion, force or deception to persuade someone to
marry would be punishable by a seven-year term.
Roxon said she did not believe that banning forced
marriages would drive the problem underground because
it is already hidden. She added that while slavery and trafficking were not common in Australia, the effect on victims
is traumatic and could have lifelong consequences.
No date has been set for Parliament to vote on the bill.

Students protest over
name change
More than 1,000 university students
and unemployed youths have taken over
a main artery leading into the business
center of Nigeria’s largest city.
The students took over the third
mainland bridge Wednesday morning,
halting traffic into Lagos’ islands, and
commandeered at least four buses to
block traffic lanes. They were protesting a decision Tuesday by President
Goodluck Jonathan to change the name
of the city’s flagship university.
Students sang and waved palm fronds
as police stood by. Passengers stepped
off buses and walked to work in the
islands.
Jonathan said the University of
Lagos — known as UNILAG — would
be renamed Moshood Abiola University
in honor of a political prisoner who died
in jail over a decade ago.

humanity but always maintained his
innocence. He was arrested in October 2010 and released in December.

Mideast states hit by
computer virus
Iran and other Middle East countries
have been hit with a cunning computer
virus that can eavesdrop on computer
users and their co-workers and filch
information from nearby cellphones,
cybersecurity experts said Tuesday. And
suspicion immediately fell on Israel as
the culprit.
The Russian Internet security firm
Kaspersky Lab ZAO said the “Flame”
virus is unprecedented in size and
complexity, with researcher Roel Schouwenberg marveling at its versatility.
“It can be used to spy on everything
that a user is doing,” he said.
Computers in Iran appear to have been
particularly affected, and Kaspersky’s
conclusion that the virus was crafted
at the behest of a national government
fueled speculation it could be part of an
Israeli-backed campaign of electronic
sabotage against the Jewish state’s archenemy.
The virus can activate a computer’s
audio systems to listen in on Skype calls
or office chatter. It can also take screenshots, log keystrokes and — in one of its
more novel functions— steal data from
Bluetooth-enabled cellphones.
Schouwenberg said there is evidence
to suggest that the people behind Flame
also helped craft Stuxnet, a virus that
is believed to have attacked nuclear
centrifuges in Iran in 2010. Many suspect
Stuxnet was the work of Israeli intelligence.
Researchers not involved in Flame’s
discovery were more skeptical of its
sophistication than Kaspersky, with Richard Bejtlich of Virginia-based Mandiant
saying the virus appeared similar to
spyware used by the German government to monitor criminal suspects.
Nepal’s opposition parties said they
will team up to topple the government,
as they accused the prime minister today
of having no moral or legal grounds to
stay in power ahead of new elections.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai’s
opponents say he lost his legitimacy
Sunday when the term of the country’s
Constituent Assembly expired without
agreement on a new constitution. Bhattarai has said he will lead a caretaker
government until another assembly is
picked in elections he called for November.
The leader
of the Nepali
Congress party,
Arjun Narsingh,
said his and 14
other parties
have agreed to
hold rallies and
street protests
aimed at pressuring Bhattarai
to resign.
“We are not
against elections, but we
don’t want

new constitution
was supposed to
cap an interim period aimed at solidifying details of Nepal’s democracy after
the country turned the page on centuries
of royal rule and resolved a decadelong Maoist insurgency by bringing the
former combatants into the political
mainstream.
The assembly was elected in 2008
under a two-year term that was renewed
four times as parties bickered over
the details of a constitution, including
whether the country’s states should be
drawn to give regional power bases to
ethnic minorities.
Its term expired Sunday after the
Supreme Court rejected any further
extensions, leaving the Himalayan
nation with no legal government.
“This just shows that Bhattarai’s intention was to continue in power without a
legislature to check on him,” Gyawali
said.
Both Narsingh and Gyawali said they
plan to meet again to finalize their
protest plans. — Associated Press

FedEx is coming to town
By Jeff Kiger
[email protected]
(507) 285-7798
FedEx is on its way to Stewartville.
After months of speculation, an early building permit
for a “New FedEx Ground
Distribution Center” was filed
Tuesday with the RochesterOlmsted Planning Department.
While the permit does not
yet include an address or
any specific details about the
building, it does list Jones
Development of Kansas City,
Mo., as the owner.
That matches up with the
60,000-square-foot center
planned for Stewartville’s
Schumann Business Park.
Jones Development is
buying 7 1/2 acres from the
City of Stewartville for $2.74
per square foot, or a total of
$895,158.
The name of the tenant
slated for this planned package center has been kept
under wraps throughout the
process, though the unofficial
local speculation has pointed
to FedEx from the start.
FedEx could not confirm
a Stewartville project, when
contacted at the end of the
day Tuesday.
“My understanding is that
we were definitely looking
in the area and we expected
to have a ... decision made by
mid- to late June,” said David
Westrick, a national spokes-
man for FedEx Ground.
Stewartville Administrator Bill Schimmel did not
comment on the building
permit, saying any announcement needs to come from the
company itself.
This project does fit with
FedEx’s recent national
actions.
FedEx Ground, the smallpackage ground delivery unit
of FedEx Corp., is in a growth
mode. It had added 11 major
distribution hubs recently
and 500 facilities have been
relocated or expanded.
Growth of e-commerce
companies like Amazon.com
is one factor driving the shipping boom. FedEx Ground’s
operating income spiked by
43 percent to $465 million in
the third quarter of this year
compared to $325 million in
the same quarter in 2011.
It delivers an average of
more than 3.5 million packages a day. In the past year, it
has seen a 5 percent increase
in packages.
Kansas City-based Jones
Development did not return
calls asking for comment.
However, the firm does
describe FedEx as its primary
client and has built dozens of
distribution facilities across
the country that the shipping
company now leases.
Jones has built three projects in Minnesota — two in
White Bear Lake and one in
Willmar.

Pepsi to launch Twitter push
NEW YORK — PepsiCo Inc. is lifting the curtain on its
music partnership with Twitter, saying it plans to offer free
downloadable songs on its Twitter page starting today and
streaming video of live concerts this summer.
The No. 2 soda company says the first “pop-up” concert
will be in late June. Followers will be able to influence
aspects of the concert, such as the set list, by tweeting the
names of songs they want played. Pepsi is
staying mum on which artists it has lined
up for the concerts. But the Purchase, N.Y.,
company has recently partnered with pop
stars Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry in its
marketing campaigns.
Every Wednesday for the next year, Pepsi will also post a
quick video summary of music news for that week based on
an analysis of trending topics on Twitter.
The free downloadable song from Amazon.com’s MP3 store
will be selected based on that video update. Pepsi followers
need to include a Pepsi hashtag in a tweet to get the song.
Financial terms of the deal with Twitter were not disclosed.

Google, Samsung unveil new Chromebooks version
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Google will try to
win more converts to a computer operating system revolving around its popular
Chrome Web browser with a new wave
of lightweight laptops built by Samsung
Electronics.
Tuesday’s release of the next-generation Chromebooks will give Google
and Samsung another opportunity to
persuade consumers and businesses
to buy an unconventional computer
instead of machines running on familiar
software by industry pioneers Microsoft
Corp. and Apple Inc.
Unlike most computers, Google’s
Chromebooks don’t have a hard drive.
They function like terminals dependent
on an Internet connection. The laptops
come with 16 gigabytes of flash memory
— the kind found in smartphones, tablet
computers and some iPods
The upgraded laptop, called “Series
5 550,” is supposed to run two-and-half
times faster than the original machines,
and boasts higher-definition video.
Google also added features that will
enable users to edit documents offline,
read more content created in widely
used Microsoft applications such as
Word and Excel, and retrieve material
from another computer at home or an
office. More emphasis is being placed
on Chrome’s Web store, which features
more than 50,000 applications.
The price: $449 for models that only
connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi
and $549 for a machine that connects

Commentary
Music can bring hope, healing to Japan
a year ago. A people who need
your arms — your arms and
mine — to embrace, to comfort,
to support.
Can you imagine giving this
embrace? Will you?
PUBLISHER’S PICK
RANDY CHAPMAN
[email protected]
P
icture this: Embracing arms, reaching
out to comfort, to
support.
Imagine you are standing in downtown
Rochester’s Peace Plaza. Imagine your arms
stretching from your body, slowly growing
longer and longer, then gaining speed and
length and strength.
Now your arms are stretching from the
plaza past the edge of town and beyond
Olmsted County. Stretching from southeastern Minnesota, stretching beyond the Upper
Midwest.
One arm stretching to the east, the other
arm extending westward. Straining to reach
out, reach past continents and oceans.
Reaching beyond man-made political and
cultural boundaries.
Your arms extending ‘round the world.
Now, your right hand clasps the left. Stretching tight and holding strong from where
you stand, from the Peace Plaza, from the
cultural epicenter of Rochester.
Your arms reaching, straining to embrace
a city in northern Japan. People we’ll never
know. A people living far, far away, living
too close to another epicenter, one of natural disaster.
A city named Sendai. Sendai, a city
of over one million people, known as
the cultural center of northern Japan. A
population that also has known disaster:
earthquake, tsunami and radiation from a
damaged nuclear reactor.
A city of people recovering, still reeling
since Japan’s triple disaster a bit more than
At the epicenter
Around the world, the triple
disaster of earthquake, tsunami
and atomic reactor meltdown
that occurred in northern Japan in 2011 has
become known as “3/11”. The magnitude 9.0
earthquake was the most powerful ever to
hit Japan and one of the five most powerful
in the world since modern record keeping
began in 1900. More than 16,000 people died,
27,000 were injured, and 3,000 are missing.
The tsunami caused by the 3/11/11 quake
traveled up to 6 miles inland in Sendai.
While the main town was not badly
damaged, the coastal area of Sendai was
devastated. More than 1,000 people were
either killed or displaced.
In Japan, music is treated as a necessity,
not a mere cultural nicety, and classical
music is enormously popular. The Sendai
Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) was founded
in 1974 and is one of the most important
musical components of the city.
Making music and community
In a stroke of good fortune, the SPO
members and their instruments were
unharmed during the 3/11 disaster. They
were rehearsing in Sendai when the quake
hit and were able to evacuate. All orchestral
venues in Sendai were damaged, however,
and the orchestra had to cancel its regular
concerts for more than four months.
The SPO did not stop playing. By July 2011, they had
organized more than 150 performances in evacuation centers
and hospitals. To formalize
their commitment to the 3/11
victims, they established the
“Center for Recovery through
the Power of Music.” The SPO
has continued to play charity
concerts in the town of Sendai
and in neighboring, more
devastated towns.
A mere 15 days after the earthquake, the
SPO performed together as an orchestra
on a reduced scale in the Kenzuiji Temple.
They played Samuel Barber’s renowned,
plaintive “Adagio for Strings,” a piece often
played at state funerals, performed at the
funeral of President Kennedy, in a concert
that was as much about hope as about
mourning the dead.
Now the SPO has resumed regular
concerts and largely returned to normality.
They continue to offer charity concerts to
build morale, to build community. The experience of making music is one of the positive things to have come from the disaster, a
testament to the resilience and spirit of the
Japanese people.
The SPO has responded to the disaster by
offering to their community strength through
wonderful music, donating their musicians’
time and transportation costs.
“A Song for Sendai”
Here’s where your embracing arms come
in. The Rochester Symphony Orchestra &
Chorale is planning to share the healing
power of music with a free outdoor community concert dedicated to the Sendai Japan
Philharmonic Orchestra in Rochester’s
Peace Plaza at 7 p.m., Friday evening, June
15.
All funds raised through ticket sales to a
pre-concert reception at the Kahler Hotel
and preferred concert seating, plus any freewill donations will be given to the SPO so it
can continue its healing efforts.
The evening’s concert will include music
from Southeast Minnesota Youth Orchestra;
RSOC performances conducted by Maestro
Jere Lantz, including Beethoven’s 9th
Symphony “Ode to Joy;” a world premiere
of a special piece by Emmy-award winning
composer Garth Neustadter; guest artist
trumpeter Ashley Hall from the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra; and a stupendous
chorus of local voices from across the
community.
You can embrace this very special
community event in one of three ways:
• Purchase special VIP reception tickets
for a pre-concert party beginning at 5:30
in the Kahler’s Elizabethan Room, including hearty hors d’oeuvres, cash bar and
preferred concert seating. Call RSOC at
286-8742 for reservations. Ticket price: $75.
• Bring your own portable seating and
enjoy the free concert beginning at 7 p.m.,
where free-will donations will be accepted.
• If you cannot attend but wish to contribute, send a donation earmarked “A Song for
Sendai” to www.rochestersymphony.org
Stretch your arms wide and long to
support the SPO as it provides the healing
power of music to the people affected by the
3/11/11 disaster.

Let’s talk current events, kids — and the Kardashians don’t count
BILL O’REILLY
[email protected]
As a former high school teacher, I know
one of the great challenges in education
is to get teenagers interested in their
country. Many of them take their freedom
for granted and have no interest in even
learning about what it takes to be a good citizen. They are
too busy keeping up with the Kardashians to absorb John
Adams.
So I have undertaken a new project: teaching a 13-yearold girl to care about being an American.
Lesson number one: Obey the rules.
We start with open doors. The rule is that no door in the
house is closed unless there is a dressing situation. The
reason for the rule is to discourage Internet chicanery and
encourage lively conversation.
“I can’t have my door open, I just can’t,” the teen wails.
“What’s the problem?”
“People are annoying. I don’t want to see any people.”
“Then look away when a human being passes.”
“YOU are SO annoying!”
I know.
Lesson number two: discuss intelligent things. Not just
reality shows and music maniacs.
“Nobody wants to talk about politics. That’s boring!”
“The presidential election is boring?” I am sincerely curious about this one.
“No one cares about Obama and Romney.”
“Well, at least you know their names.”
“But I don’t want to TALK about them.”
“I do just fine talking about them; millions of people
listen.”
“But you have no social skills. That’s why you’re on TV. I
can’t be like you.”
She may have a point.
Rule three: learn about your country’s past.
“My school says we have to read your book Killing Lincoln
over the summer.” This soon-to-be eighth grader is nearly
distraught. “I can’t believe it costs $20. What a ripoff!”
“It’s worth it; you’ll learn a lot about the greatest president America has ever had.”
“No one cares.”
“So what do you guys care about?”
“Harry Potter and Glee.”
Sounds like the situation is hopeless, right? Well, it’s
difficult, no question. When I was a kid, there was boredom to contend with. Some days nothing was happening,
so you might actually read a book about your country. Not
anymore. The machines have made boredom obsolete.
There are thousands of video games, chat opportunities,
gossip sites, and Facebook exposure all available if your
fingers work. There is always action in cyberspace, much of
it pernicious.
Therefore, you have to either force the urchins to pay
attention to important things like their country, or bribe
them to do it. There’s no other way, unless you have a savant
like Bill Clinton running around your house.
But educating America’s youth about the value of their
country is second only to educating them about the value of
their souls. So against all odds, I’m attempting to do it. Abe
Lincoln would approve.

OUR VIEW
Don’t let 2012 be the summer of hunger
W
e’re pleased to note the
growing popularity of
Rochester’s community
garden program. As explained in
Tuesday’s Post-Bulletin, long waiting lists have prompted the city
to expand this program to include
more than 350 plots, and just 10 are
still available.
We suspect that for most people,
the urge to get their hands dirty
isn’t fueled by an inability to
afford groceries. They enjoy fresh
produce, and there’s something
almost therapeutic in the acts of
planting, weeding, watering and
harvesting their own food — but a
if hail storm thrashes their tomato
plants, or if straight-line winds
knock down their sweet corn, their
kids won’t go hungry.
But today we’d like to remind
everyone with well-stocked
pantries and refrigerators — and
perhaps the makings of a fine vegetable garden — that thousands of
families in Rochester and throughout our entire region are about to
look hunger square in the face.
Jennifer Woodford, executive
director of Channel One Food
Bank and Food Shelf, said summer
is an especially challenging time
for lower-income families. “May
through September are our busiest
months by far,” she said Tuesday.
“Many families have kids who
qualifiy to receive free breakfast
and lunch at school, and all of
a sudden school is out, and they
don’t live close enough to one of
the places where free breakfast
and lunch are offered during the
summer. If you have three kids,
suddenly that’s six meals a day,
five days a week, 30 addtional
meals per week that you’re trying
to work into your budget.”
To make matters worse, this
“peak” season of need corresponds
with a seasonal decrease in food
donations from corporations and
local philanthropic organizations
that tend to shut down for the
summer. “Our demand goes up just
as our supply goes down,” Woodford said. “We serve 3,700 families
per month, but in the summer that
goes up. Last year we topped 4,000
families for the first time.”
So what’s the best way to
help? Cash donations are always
welcome, and Woodward pointed
out that Channel One can leverage
those donations to purchase up to

On Sunday, the city of Rochester hosted the Med City
Marathon and Half Marathon. The weather forecast was
not conducive for the participants to run their best, and as
a result, the race management urged all runners to exercise caution and run a smart race.
In most cases, this meant slowing down and taking the
journey to the finish line easy and relaxed. It also meant
that runners would be out in the sun and
heat for longer than was originally hoped
for.
We knew the heat index would get
worse, with increasing temperatures and
humidity, as the day progressed. What
we didn’t realize is that it takes a village
for a runner to execute a marathon. That
“village” was Rochester, and it was never
stronger than was shown on Sunday.
I am convinced that the success of the
Arnold
marathon for all the participants was due
greatly to the unselfish cooperation and
participation of the many citizens of Rochester. Repeatedly, the runners applauded the efforts and unselfish
acts of hundreds of city residents who came to the aid
of almost 2,500 runners with sprinklers, ice cubes, hard
candies, extra water and electrolyte drinks.
Rochester neighborhoods and residents did this because
they wanted to support these runners who had worked so
hard for the goal of finishing their event. They spent their
own money to purchase these items for the runners and
volunteered their time Sunday morning and into the afternoon.
Runner after runner crossing the finish line stated
unequivocally that the success of their marathon was due
to the incredible volunteer support along the course and
to the generous residents of Rochester who provided them
with exactly what they needed and when they needed it.
Thank you, residents of Rochester, for giving so much of
your time and effort on Sunday to make dreams come true.
There are hundreds and hundreds of runners that include
each of you on their success team and will truly never
forget that day in May when a potentially disappointing
and dangerous experience was turned into so much joy
and accomplishment for so many.
You cared, and it made a difference.
I am so proud to be a part of this generous and giving
community.
Wally Arnold is race director for the Med City Marathon.

I wanted to take the time
to express my appreciation
to the city of Rochester for
putting on the Med City
Marathon. The marathon
will be very special to my

it was my 50th marathon
and I have now completed
marathons in all states west
of the Mississippi — but
because of the assistance
the people of Rochester
provided during difficult

The people of Rochester
took to the streets, providing extra water, ice and
running supplements because they knew many runners were in trouble due to
the heat.

the people.

Letters to the editor
Researchers paint with a very broad brush
In the May 24 Post-Bulletin, Carleton College
political science professor Steven Schier made
an insulting statement about the good people
of Rochester. He said that Rochester will be
a battleground city in the fight concerning the
marriage amendment, “because the people
who want to defeat the amendment undoubtedly know that more highly educated, highincome individuals are more likely to favor
defeat of the amendment, and Rochester has
a lot of those.”
Well, Mr. Schier, where do you and the
defeatists get your research from? I think there
are many who agree, from all walks of life,
incomes, social status, and otherwise, that the
marriage amendment opinion cannot possibly
be linked to these things, and any minuscule
finding based on a very few people’s opinions
is certainly skewed.
See you at the polls!

Letter’s Planned Parenthood numbers distorted
As a volunteer member of the Regional
Advisory Committee for Planned Parenthood
in Rochester, I am compelled to respond to the
May 23 letter from Paula Ellefson.
Despite her claim of “indisputable facts,”
Ms. Ellefson’s letter is based on a twisted
interpretation of “numbers” that bear no relationship to the truth about Planned Parenthood.
Ninety-five percent of Planned Parenthood’s
services are preventive health care, which
includes reproductive education, life-saving
cancer screenings, birth control, pregnancy
tests and breast health services, as well as
screening and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases for both women and men.
Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization, which means all revenues are used
to support the services provided in our local
communities.The doors are open to everyone
regardless of their ability to pay.
In these economic times, more women than
ever rely on Planned Parenthood for essential health services. Telemedicine is widely
accepted as a safe and effective way to deliver
health care — especially to people in rural
and under-served areas.
The Rochester Planned Parenthood telemedicine program for administration of RU486
is overseen by a physician, and safety is always
a top concern.
Women turn to Planned Parenthood for
accurate information about all their options
— and for compassionate, affordable, and
non-judgmental health care.

with plans to create a coffee

she asked an employee what
she would need to do to get her
book on the store’s shelves.
That’s when she met the
store’s community resource
manager, Nancy (Kreyer Staudt)
Monson.
Monson gave her the information she needed to get started,
but in passing she mentioned
how much she’d always wanted
to publish a book herself.
“I love working with authors,”
Monson said. “I told Sarah that
I had written books, but had
never moved forward with any
of them.”
A good vibe
Peterson was intrigued
when she heard that Monson, a
retired Rochester K-6 teacher,
had written a children’s book
that had been collecting dust in
her closet for the past 10 years.
Monson had called the book,
“Get Out of the Nest, Nelly!”
“My graphic designer head
went to work,” Peterson said.
“I really liked her. She gave
me this good vibe, and I remembered thinking, she shouldn’t
just let these cool things hide
in the closet.”
Peterson, who owns Peterson Creative Photography
and Design, admitted that she
hadn’t done a lot of illustration,

Author Nancy Monson, left, formerly of Rochester, and illustrator Sarah Peterson, of Lanesboro, worked together
on a children’s book called “Get Out of the Nest, Nelly!”
Monson, who retired from
Rochester Public School in
2010, spent a year at Barnes
and Noble and then decided to
leave her own nest and move
to Arizona while the two were
working on the book. She has
been working as an author and
a speaker since January.

The book also weaves in
educational elements like
geography, climates, species

Even with Monson’s background, it is still difficult to get
a book published and on store
shelves.
“We’re ecstatic that the book
has been so well received,” she
said. “Some people think it’s a
great book to give as a graduation gift or new beginnings.”
Peterson has read their book
to students in Lanesboro, Chatfield and Rushford-Peterson

“It’s been teaching the kids
the process of self-publishing,
and we encourage them to try

“It’s been a rewarding experience so far.”

A ‘rock’ at police department retires
Investigator
remembered for
steadiness, humor
By Matt Russell
[email protected]
(507) 285-7712
A veteran investigator is
retiring from the Rochester
Police Department after a
32-year career in which he was
known for his steadiness, sense
of humor and reliability.
Lt. Dan Muyres, 53, a Rochester native who for years has
served as a police spokesman,
will leave the department on
Thursday after 10 years on
patrol and 22 years in investigations.
“We’ve had a pretty good rock
in place there,” Police Chief
Roger Peterson said.
A Lourdes High School graduate, Muyres was hired by the
Rochester Police Department
in 1980, when he was a student
at Mankato State University.
Jerry Olson / [email protected]
Lt. Dan Muyres, a 32-year veteran of the Rochester Police
Department, will retire on Thursday.
“Rochester is where I wanted
to live, and it was where I
wanted to work,” he said. “This
was the job I wanted, and I
never really looked seriously
elsewhere.”
Two cases that stand out for
Muyres from his career are the
2007 unsolved homicide of April
Sorensen and the 1993 murder
of Blia Yang, which Muyres said
was “a real whodunnit.”
The Sorensen case is challenging, Muyres said, because
it’s likely Sorensen didn’t know
the killer.
“I think probably the key to
that case is that somebody out
there knows who did it,” Muyres
said. “Somebody is friends with

Friendly Friedell
As my youngest finishes fourth grade, my oldest
will complete his first year at Friedell Middle
School. As in junior high. As in the big time. I
think I was probably more nervous than he was
on his first day of sixth grade. After all, I knew
what he was facing: Locker combinations. Changing classes. Eighth-graders.
Middle school can get a bad rap. Which is
why I’m open-jawed impressed with how the
staff members at Friedell educate, care for, and
contribute to the growth of their students. I was
blown away by how expertly the school’s practices
encourage student responsibility, diligence and
self-motivation.
Also, the sixth-grade staff members totally kick
butt. Like Mrs. Monnett, the science teacher who
set liquids on fire, who taught my son to blow
the top off a film canister with baking soda, and
who — and this might be just some crazy rumor —
recently led a glow-stick-lighted conga line in her
darkened classroom.
Or Mr. Ol, who would win the staff popularity
contest in any school and who stopped by our
house one afternoon when he was in the neighborhood to play a practical joke on my son. (“Your
project’s late!” he said before running away, as
Christian stood at the door, open-mouthed, certain
he had no project due.)
Or the gaggle of staff people who stand outside
Friedell every day after school with the sole
purpose of waving to the students as they pull
away on their buses — a friendly send-off that
says, “We like you. We’ll miss you. We care.”
I love that.
But here’s my favorite Friedell story. I was
sitting with Christian at the school’s History Day
assembly one evening. Monica Bowler, his principal, sat a couple rows in front of us.
“Do you ever see your principal during school?”
I asked my son. “Do you feel like she knows who
you are?”
He looked at me like I was nuts. “Yeah,” he said
(insert adolescent inflection here). “She comes in
our classes every day.”
Need our support
Seriously. I feel so lucky that my kids are
getting their educations in a district filled with so
many dynamic and energetic and sincere adults.
But, as a parent and community member, I realize
that these teachers and staff members can’t do it
alone. They need our support.
So I’m going to offer a challenge: Be one of
those dynamic, energetic and sincere adults. Read
with a second-grader. Review math homework
with a sixth-grader. Share your expertise with a
high school class on career day. I believe wholeheartedly that whether you give an hour a week or
an hour a month, you will make a difference. You
could even change a life. I’ve seen it happen.
Here’s what else I know: Our entire community
will benefit.

this person, somebody heard
him talk about it, something
like that.”
In the Yang case, Muyres said
a bloody fingerprint was a key
piece of evidence.
Before the investigation
reached that point, however,
a lot of work went into identifying the suspect, Chao Yang,
Muyres said.
Yang was convicted of
two counts of second-degree
murder, one count for killing
Blia Yang and the other for killing her unborn child.
Several high school classmates moved to other cities,
Muyres said, but he was happy
to stay in Rochester. He likes
the size of the city, he said, and
it’s a clean and safe place to
live and raise a family.
“Dan in particular was one of
those people who was absolute
dependability, and you always
knew what you were getting
and when you were getting it,”
Peterson said. “He’s a good,
hard-working guy that takes
zero maintenance to get that
kind of return.”
The countdown is in full
swing. Full swing, I tell you. As
of today, there are six days left
of the school year.
While my boys still face a
couple weeks of benchmark
tests, math homework and spelling lists — the
end is definitely in sight. This is, as always, a
milestone that makes me especially reflective.
(But what’s new, right? Buying my kids new socks
makes me reflective.)
Though no year is without its kinks, I have to
say that the 2011-2012 school year is definitely in
the “yay” category when it comes to my continuing fandom of Rochester public schools. (For the
record, there’s only one year in the “nay” category
— and I’ll let you know when I’m over that one.)
This year? Thumbs up. Next week, my youngest
son will close out his fourth-grade year at Hoover
Elementary. His teacher, Mrs. Olson, is pretty
much a rock star. She’s kind, approachable, real
(one of my favorite characteristics in anyone), and
has been a positive force in my son’s life and the
lives of his classmates all year long. Also, says my
son, she tells “hilarious stories” about her family.
Mrs. Olson not only has developed a relationship with her students by sharing her own life
with them, but she has cared deeply for her
students’ “outside-of-school” lives, as well. She’s
generous with her time, her affection, and — notably — her patience and understanding with those
kids who tend to fall through the cracks. As both
a parent and a classroom volunteer, it’s not been
lost on me that Mrs. Olson is invested in each
child in her room. What a gift for my son to have
spent the last nine months with her.

Milton A. Rosenblad — Rochester
Milton Alvin Rosenblad, 78, beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle, of Rochester, died Tuesday, May 29, 2012, at
Season’s Hospice after a short illness.
Surviving are wife, Bernita “Penny” Mohn Rosenblad of
Rochester; sons, Gerald (Michele) of Stewartville, Robert
(Shelly) of Rochester; and daughter, Joyce
Rosenblad of Minneapolis; grandsons, Ben,
Eric and Austin; granddaughters, Kelly and
Jessica; and beloved cat, Lucy Marie.
Milton was born Aug. 14, 1933, in Minneapolis, the youngest of three. After graduating from Edina High School in 1951, Milt did
his undergraduate and graduate studies at
the University of Minnesota, graduating with
honors from the U of M Law School in 1956.
He married Roberta “Bobbie” Fildes on Aug.
25, 1956, and they moved to Rochester, where
Rosenblad
Milt began practicing law. He stayed at that
firm, which later became Michaels, Seeger,
Rosenblad and Arnold (and then in the 1990’s merged with
the Dunlap Law Office, becoming Dunlap & Seeger), for his
entire career. Milt specialized in probate, tax and real estate
law, and loved his work, often vowing never to retire.
Milt was very active in the community, notably with the local
Elks and Lions Clubs, as well as the Quarterbacks Club. He
also belonged to the Rochester Golf and Country Club. Milt
was well known locally as an effective fundraiser, as anyone
that he approached in his effort to hawk raffle tickets over a
span of decades no doubt discovered. In addition to his work,
Milt loved golfing and attending his childrens’ and grandchildrens’ events. He also loved many types of card games, including Duplicate Bridge, Gin Rummy and Poker. Milt achieved
the Life Master status in duplicate bridge several years ago
and continued to play until he became ill. Milt was a huge
Vikings and Twins fan and was excited to hear recently that
the Vikings would finally get a new stadium. He did make it
to Target Field for a Twins game once last year, a special day
for him.
Milt and Bobbie loved traveling and houseboating. Family
time on the Mississippi became a weekend ritual for the
Rosenblads every spring, summer and fall through the 70’s and
80’s. Friends, fun and jarts were always on tap on the river.
Later, after Bobbie passed away in 1996, Milt found love
and companionship with Bernita “Penny” Mohn, and they
were married in 2001. They spent 12 happy years together in
Rochester and Ft. Myers, Fla.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, June 1, at
Bethel Lutheran Church, 810 Third Ave., S.E., Rochester, MN
55904.
Visitation will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, May

WINONA — A Goodview
man is accused of using San

also using the drug.
Sean Patrick Feehan, 18,
of 30 Michigan Lane, was
charged April 24 in Winona
District Court with firstdegree controlled substance
crime-making mescaline. The
maximum penalty is 30 years
in prison and a $1 million
fine. An omnibus hearing is
set for Thursday.
The complaint alleges a
woman noticed a “suspicious

and became dizzy when
trying to sleep. A Goodview

police officer responded
and found what appeared to
be a clandestine methamphetamine lab in the family
room. Feehan spent time in
the room but usually lives in
another house.
The officer reportedly
found three jars, an empty
Drano container, lithium
batteries, muratic acid and
plastic bags.
The woman, however,
said she learned it might
be a mescaline lab. Feehan
admitted he and a friend
were using three jars to get
mescaline from the cactus
and also admitted using
the drug, according to the
complaint.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Students solidify reputation at science fair
By Matthew Stolle
[email protected]
(507) 281-7415
Rochester students are basking in
the glow of another strong performance at a prestigious international
science fair.
All of Rochester’s high school
students who participated in this
month’s Intel International Science
and Engineering Fair returned
with a Grand Award prize. Only 25
percent of the more than 1,500 young
scientists who participated received
such prizes. Projects came from 65
countries and all 50 states.
This was the second year in a
row that every Rochester entrant
returned with a prize, solidifying
Rochester’s growing reputation in
such competitions. Last year, not
only did every Rochester student
or team receive a prize for groundbreaking work, but one team took
a first-place trophy, the first time
that had happened in Rochester’s
history.
This year, the highest-placed
finisher from Rochester was a
second-place award, an achievement
that has happened only a handful
of times.
“Normally, we don’t have all the
students placing. All our students
placed. They all did an outstanding
job,” said Kellogg Middle School
science teacher Roger Larsen.
Rochester’s young scientists
included:
• Lisa Fu, John Marshall High
School. The junior placed fourth
and won a $500 award.
• Ying Xiong, Century High
School. The junior placed fourth
and received a $500 award.
• Spencer Berglund and David
Campeau, Mayo High School. The
juniors placed second and received
a $1,500 prize.
Larsen said that in the two decades
he has served as director of the
Rochester Regional Science Fair,
there have been only three other
times that Rochester-area students
earned a second-place finish.
“So, getting second is an outstanding feat in and of itself,” Larsen
said.

The work will be done one
side at a time, and traffic will
be controlled by a temporary

project is done, probably in
early October, it will be wider
and have a place for pedes-
trians.
In addition to that project,
the Minnesota Department
of Transportation will have
lane closures in 10 southeastern Minnesota counties this
summer so crews can seal
joints and cracks on bridges.
Work is expected to be done
in mid-August.
In all, 65 bridges will be
fixed on 11 highways.

WINONA — An open house June 14 will introduce
Joelle Harris, the new managing director of the Minnesota
Conservatory for the Arts. Harris, who was chosen after a
national search, becomes managing director Friday. She
has a master’s degree in arts administration and nonprofit
management from the University of Akron. She was previously executive director of the Columbus (Ohio) Children’s
Theatre.
Harris replaces Christine Martin, who was managing director for 13 years. Martin will continue to teach in the dance
division at the conservatory.
The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts, which is affiliated with Saint Mary’s University, offers classes in performing and visual arts, serving hundreds of children and adults
in southeastern Minnesota.
The open house will be from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. at the Valencia

This is the first year the Norwegian Ridge Language Camp
in Spring Grove will operate its immersion camp. Tuition
is $100 for children ages 4 to 7 and $200 for kids ages 8 to
15. The camp, launched by the Giants of the Earth Heritage
Center, will be June 18 through 22.
Children will learn Norwegian and participate in traditional activities like rosemaling, goat-cheese making and
knitting.
Children from outside Spring Grove can live with Norwegian host families.
Interested adults can inquire about learning Norwegian,
too.
GOODVIEW
Authorities identify 5-year-old who drowned at area park
GOODVIEW — The 5-year-old girl
who drowned Monday night at Michael
LaCanne Memorial Park has been identified.
Emily Margarita Lopez Leon, of Arcadia, Wis., was discovered in about 3 feet
of water within the roped swimming area,
according to the Goodview Police Department. She was with family members at
the beach and was reported missing at
6:48 p.m.
After using a human chain to walk the
swimming area, first-responders found
the girl unresponsive
in the water about 60
feet from the shore and
performed CPR. She
was pronounced dead
at Winona Health. She had been under
water for more than half an hour, according to police.
A police spokeswoman said the child’s
family might have faced a language
Update
barrier. Although the area is a designated swimming area, there are no lifeguards on duty, she said.
City Administrator Dan Matejka said
city officials discussed the beach signs
Tuesday and concluded that they “get the
point across that (the area) is unsupervised and to swim at your own risk.”
“It was a very unfortunate accident, but
we feel, at least at this point in time, it is
properly signed,” Matejka said.
The incident is still under investigation.

POLITICS
Walz, opponents differ on value of Zip Rail
By Heather J. Carlson
[email protected]
(507) 281-7482
When it comes to the issue
of high-speed rail, 1st District
Rep. Tim Walz is on the opposite side of the tracks from his
Republican opponents.
During a speech to the
Rochester Area Chamber of
Commerce on Tuesday, the
Democrat said he has never
been a believer in the “build
it, they will come” mentality when it comes to rail.
But he said if there is strong
data backing up a rail project, he is willing to support
it. During an interview after
the event, Walz said it’s clear
that the proposed Zip Rail line
between Rochester and the
Twin Cities meets that criteria. He said he is lobbying the
U.S. Department of Transportation to fund the project with
stimulus money rejected by
other states.
“What we’re trying to do is
build a rock-solid coalition
with all the data necessary to
make our case to the Department of Transportation,” he
said.
Walz said Zip Rail is one of
four high-speed rail projects
nationwide that meet the criteria for a demonstration project the Obama administration
is looking to fund based on
population size, population
growth and project cost. The
city of Rochester, Olmsted
County, Mayo Clinic and
the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce are strong
backers of the rail project,
which would cost between
$1.5 billion and $2 billion.
ect, his Republican challengers made clear they have
serious concerns about investing in high-speed rail.
“I think we are putting way
too much money into the rail
side of (transportation) when
we have infrastructure that
is crumbling across the country,” said GOP congressional
candidate Mike Parry. “We
have to focus on maintaining
and repairing what we have
right now and how do we do
that better
to get people
in and out of
Rochester?”
Parry said
he has not
had a chance
to read the
latest Zip Rail
study, but the
state senator
from Waseca Parry
said people
in the district
are telling
him they
have serious concerns
about how
much it will
cost taxpayers to run and
maintain.
F o r m e r Quist
state Rep.
Allen Quist, who is running
against Parry in the Republican primary, said he also has
funding concerns.
“Everything I have seen on
Zip Rail is that it is not cost
effective,” Quist said.
Transportation bill
Another area of disagreement is how to fund a transportation bill. Congress has until
June 30 to pass a new transportation bill. At this point, it
appears likely lawmakers will
opt for a temporary extension,
Walz said.
Walz said he wants Congress
to pass a five-year transportation bill this year to get
people to work and address
congestion problems that are
costing businesses money.
During an interview after the
event, Walz said the bill is
stalled in Congress because
Republicans are demanding
it be paid for entirely with
cuts. But Walz said addressing the nation’s infrastructure
needs will require additional
revenue.
“It’s irresponsible for us not
to pay our bills,” he said. “I
think we need to do that, but
I think when it comes to this
(transportation bill), where
are we going to get it? They
can say cut it from somewhere
else, but there’s not enough
there.”
When it comes to raising
revenue for transportation,
Walz said he is not taking
anything off the table at this
point. Options include looking
at raising the gas tax or creating a new tax on refiners or
trades made on Wall Street.
Quist said government
already spends too much
money. He said if he were
in Congress, he would not
support passing a permanent transportation bill until
there’s a plan to balance the
budget within six years.
“Transportation should be
one of the highest priorities,
but that (spending) ceiling
needs to be put in place first.
And unless it is, we are heading towards financial ruin,”
he said.
Parry said he is wary of
boosting spending, saying he
opposes Congress’ decisions
to keep boosting the federal
debt limit to allow for more
spending. He argues that what

is really needed is to revamp
U.S. Rep. Tim Walz speaks to the Rochester Area
the nation’s tax system. When
asked for specifics, Parry said Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday at the Ramada Inn.
that Congress needs to discuss
tax reform and look at all the
options.

Memorial Day observed
in Mayo Park in 1937
You’re never
too old to
rock ‘n’ roll
THE DAY IN HISTORY • LOREN ELSE
[email protected]
1987 — 25 years ago
Grrrl Band made up
of women over 50
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held
in June at John Rich Park in downtown Red
Wing for a veterans memorial engraved
with the names of county residents who
died in U.S. military conflicts dating back to the Civil War.
By Christa Lawler
Associated Press
DULUTH — It’s the same old story:
Rock ‘n’ roll band sets up shop in the
basement family room. There’s a tower
of gear against the wall with amps, music
stands, microphones and wires crisscrossing the floor.
Twice a week the band gets together
for three-hour practices that make the
floor upstairs vibrate.
But this isn’t a wild pack of rowdy
teens dreaming of hotel destruction and
the kind of fame that requires keeping
reptiles as pets. This is, literally, parents’
rock ‘n’ roll.
“I believe we’re all over 50 and one of
us is on Medicare — for a couple years,”
said keyboard player Dorthea Diver.
The Grrrl Band is a collection of six
musicians, one of a few all-girl rock
bands in the area, and one that formed
after its members were well beyond
those introspective “emo” years. They
all have careers — though one member
is retired — and they all have adult children.
The 2-year-old rock ‘n’ roll and blues
cover band plays songs from the 1960s
through today. They’ve played Bayfront
Festival Park during an art fair, a couple
of shows at GB Schneider & Co., fundraisers and private parties with friends.
All in all, it’s been enough gigs to fill out
the Grrrl Band World Tour T-shirt that
guitar player Cheryl Husby wore during
a recent practice.
“We used to rehearse around a pool
table,” lead singer Diane Winkler said.
Aside from Husby and Diver’s stint in
a jug band almost 20 years ago, none of
the musicians had been in a band before
Husby started collecting her musically
inclined friends about two years ago.
According to band lore, Husby wanted
players she could count on to perform at
her annual summer party. So she started
making phone calls.
“I’m only in the band because I owned
a (sound system),” Winkler said and
laughed.
Since then there have been a series of
milestones the band mates joke about —
for instance, learning to play while standing up.
“Our first practice we were all sitting
down,” Diver said.
First they learned five songs. When
they learned a few more, they threw a
party.
“We were so proud we had eight
songs,” said Becca Lindquist, lead guitar
player. “There was so much curiosity
about this Grrrl Band that 85 people
showed up.”
The group meets twice a week in
drummer Janet Bissell’s basement for
three-hour practice sessions. There has
been an accumulation of gear: an electric
The Rochester Junior College track team wrapped up the 1962
Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference track title. Dick
Dale won the 100-yard dash, Jerry Nelson won the 220 and Roger
Parker captured the mile with a time of 4:49.5.
Memorial Day dawned sunny and warm in Rochester — perfect
for the annual parade and public observances at cemeteries. A flag
presented to Olmsted County in memory of a deceased World War
II soldier from Rochester was raised at the courthouse and will be
flown daily. The flag was given by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scharnweber in honor of their son, Kendell.

Before she was asked to play bass guitar for the Grrrl Band, Joanne
Piper-Mauer’s only experience was playing in a marching band.
A service for deceased veterans was conducted at Mayo Park for
the first time. The service included an address by J.W. Feller, Rochester postmaster, as well as music, recitation of Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, and prayers for the departed and our country.
More than 10,000 poppies were given out and will be worn to
remember those who died in the World War.

John Bissell said he always wanted to
start a family band, even bought Janet
a drum set years ago, but that it never
happened.
“It’s pretty funny that of all of us, she
ends up in the band,” Price said. “She’s
always been cool.”
Downstairs, the Grrrls gave each other
constructive feedback on the pacing of
songs, compliments on harmonies and
had a quick conversation about Bonnie
Raitt — whom they cover.
Winkler kicked off to her friends for
solos:
“Play it, Dorthea!” she said into the
microphone and Diver took off on the
keyboard.
The Grrrl Band covered “Hi-Heeled
Sneakers,” ‘’Summer in the City,” ‘’Love
Potion No. 9” and “Chains,” which
features nearly the entire band on vocals.
“We’re the only band to play this song
with a kazoo,” Husby said as they shifted
into “Bad Moon Rising,” Winkler with
her kazoo up to the microphone.
Lindquist said band practice has
become an important part of her life.
“It’s the highlight of my week,” she
said.
“It’s a commitment,” Husby admitted.
“But it’s way better than book club,”
Winkler added.
DNR: Man had hundreds of fish over limit
Associated Press
ST. PAUL — A fisherman faces thousands of dollars in
penalties and the confiscation of his boat and other gear for
allegedly taking hundreds of panfish over the legal limit.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says a
conservation officer confronted 39-year-old Chien Van Tran
of Otsego on Pelican Lake in Wright County on April 4. The
officer found 134 sunfish and 19 crappies on his boat, and
more in a freezer in his home, for a total of 413 sunfish and
30 crappies over the legal limit. Minnesota’s daily and possession limits are 20 sunfish and 10 crappies.
The DNR says Tran faces up to a $3,000 fine, a year in jail,
$2,015 in restitution, plus the loss of his fishing privileges for
three years.

tuner, Lindquist’s first electric guitar,
Winkler’s microphone — which was a
gift — and Husby’s microphone for her
harmonica.
Off-stage, the band has a mix of
self-deprecating humor and pride at
accomplishment. On stage, they now
have enough music to easily headline a
gig and enough of a following to draw a
decent crowd.
Joanne Piper-Maurer can bounce from
electric bass to keyboard to flute and
back again. Husby has a natural guitar
stance. Bissell is quiet and cool behind
her drum set, Winkler’s all charm, smiles
and spontaneous dance, and Lindquist
and Diver handle solos with ease.
So why did they wait so long to start a
rock band?
“No one ever asked me before,” said
Piper-Maurer, whose only other experience was in marching band.
The Grrrls met to run through the set
list for a fundraiser for Safe Haven, a
shelter for battered women. The practice
session included Winkler’s stage-banter
and a few seemingly involuntary yelps
from the band when things really get
cooking.
Upstairs at the Bissell house, Janet
Bissell’s husband, John, and daughter
Jennie Price were able to hear the band
jamming.

HOROSCOPE / Holiday Mathis
THURSDAY, MAY 31
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
can let the past inform you without
getting stuck there. Dwelling on
the past would only prevent you
from seizing the glorious opportunities of the here and now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If your duties feel exhausting,
consider taking a break from them
altogether. There are times when
doing nothing is far more productive than wearing yourself out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even
if your current situation isn’t ideal
(and whose is?), you wouldn’t want
to go back to where you were.
Remind yourself of all you’re
grateful for and all you’ve been
able to create in your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A
curtain closing doesn’t have to
mean the end of the play, so don’t
let it be a disappointing experience. More than likely, the curtain
will open again after a complete
change of scenery has occurred.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
ideas are stellar, but they may
not be quite ready to present to
the world. Keep honing them. Test
them out on your core group of
trusted cohorts. If you don’t have
such a group, start putting one
together.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A
task no longer brings you joy, and
you’d just as soon not do it—but
your high level of responsibility
won’t allow you to bail, so you’re
stuck. Change your attitude and
push through. There’s joy to be
wrung out of this yet.
•
BRIDGE / King Features
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
moon favors you now, and so
will other people. The consummate egalitarian, you may not
be extremely comfortable with
favoritism, but you’d do well to
take advantage of it. This doesn’t
happen every day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
you’re happy, you’ll be productive,
effective and smart. When you’re
not happy, nothing will go quite
right. So put this day on the right
track: Make yourself happy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Answers are forthcoming, so
you may as well ask the big questions. If you ask questions that
challenge your own fundamental
assumptions, what you learn will
rock your world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Challenges will be solved by drawing on diverse ideas and knowledge. Cast your net wide. Talk to
friends who have a background
that is very different from yours.
Research in unusual places.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You might be in a position to give
criticism, and if it’s not all good,
try to do it in person. Face to face
is the best way to handle anything
you have to share that’s less than
complimentary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
are a compassionate teacher. This
is a gift you’ll get the opportunity
to share with others today. Seeing
people blossom under your tutelage will be most rewarding.

Help turn a house into
a home by joining Habitat for Humanity’s Youth
United effort.
Offered at HFH affiliates around the
country, Youth United is open to kids ages 5
to 25, though local members are typically in
high school. Youth United members focus
on advocacy, education and awareness,
fundraising, leadership and construction
while developing leadership and teambuilding skills through hands-on experiences.
“The Youth United program is pretty
wonderful. And the kids that are attracted
to it are pretty amazing,” says program
manager Patricia McCleese. “Our younger
generation makes me very hopeful.”
A new season of Youth United kicks off
next month. Students are invited to attend
one or both of the June meetings to find
out more about the responsibilities and
benefits that membership brings.
“Summer is the time
when we do some reflection
and get geared up for the
year,” says McCleese, who
has been with Rochester’s
Habitat for Humanity for 10
years. “We usually pick two
or three areas that we are
going to focus on. The last
few years we’ve focused
on education and creating
McCleese
awareness around the need
for affordable housing.
The kids created a great display and gave
presentations at events and in the community. This year we’ll have to see what they
come up with. It’s all up to the kids.”
Youth United typically draws about a
dozen committee members who attend
meetings year round, typically two meetings
a month in the summer and one a month
during the school year. The group also
attracts other students who, while not active
committee members, assist with community presentations, help recruit additional
school-age volunteers, and volunteer on
construction projects.
Usually there are about 100 kids involved
during the year, McCleese said.

Habitat for Humanity website.

Book guides parents through baby’s first year

After spending nine months
focused on pregnancy and delivery, you bring your new bundle of
joy home and realize, what now?
A new book by the experts at
Mayo Clinic can help.
“Mayo Clinic Guide to Your
Baby’s First Year,” which was
released this month, is a manual
of sorts for new parents.
“We want this to be your right
hand for parenting,” said Dr.
Esther H. Krych, one of three
Rochester-based Mayo Clinic
pediatricians who collaborated
on the book. “In the middle of
the night when you have a question, you have something reliable.
Rather than sorting through all
the images on the Web, here you
know you have a picture you can
trust.”
Plus, the book is designed to be
easy to use.
“A lot of the baby books
currently available to families are
fairly text heavy or may not have
been written by medical professionals,” Krych said.
The goal was to make the Mayo
Clinic guide colorful, easy-to-read
and relate to real-life experiences, not medical jargon, she
said.
She knows, because like Dr.
Robert V. Johnson and Dr. Walter
J. Cook, in addition to being a
pediatrician, all three experts are
also parents.
“That’s what made this book so
fun,” Krych said. “It felt very real
to us.”
The 576-page book is divided
into six sections to help new
parents find information quickly.
Topics include:
• Understanding your baby’s
temperament
LOOK AHEAD | Life
• Managing and enjoying
parenthood
• Growth and development
month by month
• Encouraging good sleep habits
• Comforting a crying baby
• Succeeding with breast and
bottle feeding
• Introducing solid foods
• Choosing the right diapers
• Baby bonding
• Finding the right health care
provider and good childcare
• Common illnesses and
concerns
• Immunizations
The guide is the companion
book to “Mayo Clinic Guide to a
Healthy Pregnancy.” A Facebook
page, Mayo Clinic Healthy Child,
includes images and information
from the book as well as an interactive forum for questions and
discussion.

“Mayo Clinic Guide

a positive attitude toward success.

VIDEO GAMES
‘Mario Tennis’ tries new angle Graduation time
is also time
for good-bye
By Billy O’Keefe
McClatchy-Tribune
At its core and where it counts
most, “Mario Tennis Open” has a
whole lot in common with the preceding six games that had some variation of “Mario Tennis” in their titles,
and for many, that’s probably all
that matters. In terms of the finer
gameplay details — control responsiveness, A.I. competency and the
balance struck between pure tennis
and the fantastical nature of the
Super Mario universe — it’s the most
polished game of tennis Nintendo has
published since the Nintendo 64 got
its version 12 years ago.
Or rather, it will be once you go
into the options screen, select “Gyro
Sensor” and, perhaps regretfully,
disable it.
Along with the overdue addition
of online play, “Open’s” neatest new
trick might be the ability to dynamically change the camera angle by
holding the 3DS differently. Holding
the 3DS flat and looking down at it
produces an overhead view of the
court, while holding it upward and
looking forward toward the screen
switches, appropriately, to a behindthe-back perspective.
Problem is, “Open” degenerates
into a mess when the behind-theback view is active. The gyroscope
allows you to tilt the 3DS to tweak the
camera’s horizontal angle, but it also
handles shot aim (which the circle
pad capably handles by itself in the
top-down view). The circle pad can
still be used to control your player’s
position on the court, but whenever
you aren’t using it, the game automatically moves your player for you.
Clumsy mess
Compared to the top-down view’s
classically simple controls, the weird
mix of motion, auto and traditional
controls is a clumsy mess. And
because “Open’s” flimsy options
screen makes the dynamic perspective a package deal with all those
control conditions, you might be
best off disabling the
whole thing completely.
There’s no way to
have complete control
while dynamic camera
control is active.
Perhaps fortunately
(though not really),
“Open’s” use of stereoscopic 3D is so tepid
during gameplay that

3D pops beautifully during menus
and replays, so it’s clearly a conscious
choice, but it’s a puzzling one given
the obvious applications for 3D in a
game where a ball flies at you at a
fast speed.
The nullification of those features
leaves us, for better or worse, in
pretty much in the same place “Mario
Tennis” always has been.
On the plus side, that means “Open”
likely gives you what you came for in
terms of how it plays. It’s polished per
usual, and while the court designs are
extremely festive, the emphasis on
different shot types and court control
makes this a sports game first and
everything else second.
At the same time, It’s a shame
“Open” sees no need to introduce
new characters (besides your Mii)
to a small roster that’s stagnated for a decade despite
there being no shortage of characters in
Mario’s universe. The
modes are similarly
thin, with the same
old tournament cups
instead of a season
mode or the roleplaying features
that typically
reside in
Nintendo’s

games.

World 1-1 of “Super Mario Bros.” by
hitting enemies with tennis balls is
especially clever — but their novelty
is fleeting.
Per usual, “Open” shines brightest
as a multiplayer game, and while the
online offerings aren’t exhaustive,
they provide some valuable versatility
to the game’s biggest selling point.
Via either local single-card wireless
or online, “Open” supports multiple
combinations of four-player co-op/
competitive/singles/doubles tennis
among friends.
Those with a competitive streak,
meanwhile, can play random opponents online and accrue performancebased points that contribute to their
ranking on a monthly regional leaderboard. The quality of play online
will ultimately come down to the
community, but “Open” does its part:
Matches are low on lag, and finding
opponents is fast and easy.

It’s that
time of
year again.
The end of
the school
year. The
two-week countdown to freedom. The weeks where no
matter how hard you try you
can’t seem to motivate yourself to do much of anything.
Do you know that feeling? I
sure do.
So it should have come at
no surprise to me that I was
suffering a serious case of
writer’s block when it came
time to write my article. I
found myself staring at a
blank Word document for
several hours struggling
to even write an opening
sentence. Should I write
about the political race? A
movie review of “The Dictator”? Finals? Prom? The
NBA playoffs? A bash on
Kobe Bryant? Despite all of
the brainstorming, my document remained barren.
It frustrated me to no end;
what was wrong with me?
Was I really getting “senioritis” a year early? I was just
about to throw in the towel
when I had an epiphany.
That blank document was
my article. Maybe not literally, but in a sense it was.
My article wasn’t supposed
to be a compilation of meaningless words, it was meant
to express a time when the
right words just can’t be
found, an absence if you will.
Absence. That’s a funny
word, yet I think we’ve all
been a little too intimate
with it lately.
It’s nothing new. In fact,
it’s a part of life, saying
goodbye; I’m just not very
good at it. It’s painful, but
at the end of the day, I’m
glad because I knew someone who made it hard to say
goodbye. Throughout my
school career, classes have
come and classes have gone,
but I can honestly say that
I haven’t had as close of a
connection with any seniors
like I do this year. Perhaps
it’s because I’ve grown up
with them and they’ve always
been there with me. It’s
a little like seeing a dear
brother or sister move away,
into the real world, without
you.
I suppose my biggest fear
is that they’re going to move
on and forget about Eyota
and all their old friends.
Don’t get me wrong. I truly
believe that we’ll keep in
touch, at least for the first
few months, but after a few
months the messages will be
fewer and fewer until they’re
only a Facebook “Happy
Birthday” message. However,
I have hope. I understand
that friends come and go,
but I truly believe that a
precious few you should
hold on to. Work hard to
bridge the geographical
gap because the older you
get, the more you need the
people you knew when you
were young.
So seniors, (Chicago-watching friends, church band
members, math study partners, friends who were like
older brothers and sisters
to me), life wouldn’t be the
same without you and all the
memories you have given me.
Alas, I cannot find words
to say goodbye, hence I leave
you with this Bob Dylan
quote: “May the good Lord
be with you, down every road
that you roam.
And may sunshine and
happiness surround you
when you’re far from home.
And may you grow to be
proud, dignified, and true,
and do unto others as you’d
have done to you. Be courageous and be brave, and in
my heart you’ll always stay,
Forever Young.”

How to protect
teeth with braces
McClatchy-Tribune
Braces and clear plastic
aligners create new pockets
that collect food and bacteria,
raising the risk of cavities and
ugly stains. “The best results
occur when patients become
active participants during
orthodontic treatment,” says
Dr. William Harper, a dentist
in Poquoson, Va. His tips:
• Consider more cleanings.
Seeing a dentist every three
or four months — compared
to the usual six months —
helps avoid gum inflammation, bone damage and pricey
follow-up treatments.
• Supplement regular
brushing. At home, follow
brushing with an electric
water flosser. Also carry
small, disposable brushes or
picks — Proxabrush or SoftPicks are popular brands —
in your pocket or purse.
•Invest in an electric toothbrush. These are better at
dislodging food and bacteria from hard-to-reach spots.
Whatever type of brush you
use, be aware that bristles
will wear out more quickly
than normal from rubbing
against wires.
• Add fluoride. Extra bacteria create a more acidic environment, a risk factor for
cavities and brown, gray or
white spots on teeth. Using
fluoride toothpaste after
meals will help keep your
enamel strong; prescriptionstrength fluoride toothpastes
also are available.
• Limit acidic drinks. These
include diet sodas, fruit
juices and sports or energy
drinks.
• Try hydrogen peroxide.
Pharmacies often carry these
mouth rinses, designed to
fight bacterial inflammation
and prevent stains. Prescription bleaching agents also
can help in some cases.
• Avoid hard and chewy
foods. High on the list of items
that can damage braces:
nuts, crusty bread, caramel,
licorice and gum. Also don’t
chew on ice, pencils or your
fingernails.

Tag, you’re — setting a record?
By Kristen Fairchilds
McClatchy-Tribune
SANTA CRUZ, CALIF. — Last year,
it was jumping jacks. This year, it’s a
game of tag.
Recently, 56 members of the Boys &
Girls Club of Santa Cruz joined in a spirited game of tag with a far greater goal
than just getting some exercise.
The Santa Cruz club joined its fellow
branches of the Boys & Girls Clubs of
America in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most participants
in multiple games of tag within a 24-hour
period at multiple venues.
“Last year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of
America succeeded in setting the Guinness World Record for the most people
doing jumping jacks at the same time at
separate venues,” said Katee Freeman,
the Santa Cruz club’s youth development
director. “We partnered up with all of
the Boys & Girls Clubs nationally so that
we were all doing jumping jacks at the
same time.
“For the children, being involved in
something like this can feel very unifying,” Freeman added. “They light up
with excitement when we talk about all
of the clubs playing tag at the same time
we are. They get to be part of something
that’s bigger than themselves.”
As part of National Boys & Girls Club
Week, the record attempt was just one of
many activities held to bring focus to the
national nonprofit youth organization,
which was founded in 1860.
The game of tag was for both adults and
children and was part of Major League
Baseball’s WANNA PLAY? program.
Freeman said that the Santa Cruz club
included only children in the game.
“Our members are between the ages
of 6 and 18,” said Freeman, who was a
club member as a youth. “Currently, our
total enrollment is at about 700 youth. On
a daily basis, we have between 50 to 85
kids attending.
“In addition to the game of tag, today
is also ‘Open the Door to a Healthy Lifestyle Day,’” Freeman continued. “We’re
having what we’re calling a ‘Salad Party’
for the kids as well as a Food Plate Chal-

lenge, which is a relay-type event that
has them compiling all the ingredients
for a healthy meal.”
Last spring, the Boys and Girls Clubs of
America enlisted a total of 20,425 people
to do jumping jacks, or “star jacks” as
called by the Guinness World Records,
for two consecutive minutes at the same
time.
The organization was notified in October that it had set the record. Freeman
said it will again take months before the
Boys & Girls Clubs of America finds out if
it was successful in the new attempt.
Like Freeman, Santa Cruz resident
Andrew Heggum is a former club member
who is now on staff.
“Trying for the record is a very goaloriented activity that advocates community building along with participation in
a team activity,” said Heggum, the club’s
gamesroom coordinator. “I think it will
be really fun if we do set the tag record.
That means our kids can be mentioned
along with their friends in being part of
something really big.”

Family
Student must get back
on track over summer
DEAR TEACHER • MARGE EBERTS AND PEGGY GISLER
[email protected]
My
13-year-old
son is just
finishing
seventh
grade. Unfortunately, his
grades started slipping this
semester. He doesn’t pay
attention to or read directions fully and is careless,
content to slide by on minimum effort. His final grades
are not going to be any
good again due to carelessness and inattention.
I have taken away his MP3
player and iPhone and cut
off cable television to eliminate some of his distractions. To motivate him, I
said that everything could
come back when his grades
improve. What more can I
do? — Concerned
to your son about exactly
why his grades are slipping?
Older children like your son
may be able to help everyone pinpoint what the problem is. Be sure to also ask
him how he thinks things can
be turned around.
After talking to your child,
it’s time to communicate
with his teacher or teachers
to find out exactly what is
happening in the classroom.
An observant teacher may
know precisely what the
problem is and already be
working to rectify it. Plus,
his teacher or teachers
should be able to give you
additional summer work that
could help your son make
up the achievement gap that
has occurred this semester.
Sound out his teachers on
whether the answer to his
grade decline lies in improving study skills or taking
classes in summer school or

My son is eager to join the
military after high school
instead of going to college.
He says that he wants to see
the world. We’d like him to
go to college. Is there any
way he could do both? —
For College First
Your son needs information so he can see how a
military career and college
can be combined in a
number of ways. The local
recruiter for the service
branch that interests him
will be able to tell him of all
the possibilities. He should
call for an appointment now
to see if he is qualified for
that service.
Your son should also learn
about the Reserve Officers’
Training Corps (ROTC),
which helps students train to
be officers in a branch of the
U.S. military while attending college. The military will
pay for much of his college
education if he qualifies for
this very selective program;
however, he must agree to a
period of service.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Follow guidelines when splitting pills
HINTS FROM HELOISE • HELOISE CRUSE
[email protected]
DEAR
READERS:
Millions
of people
take medication
daily, but some are skipping
their medication, or they try
to split pills to save money.
This may seem like a good
idea, but the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration has
some guidelines to follow
before splitting any of your
pills:
• Not all pills are safe to
split. Time-released drugs,
capsules and pills coated to
protect your stomach should
never be split.
• Never split pills with a
knife. Use a pill splitter. You
can buy one for very little
money. Some tablets are
hard to split because of their
shape or size, and can end
up crumbling.
• It is difficult to split a
tablet, because there is no
guarantee that the medication amounts will be equal.
• Pills can only be split
safely in half; never split
them into any smaller
portions, such as thirds or
more.
• Some pills may start to
break down and deteriorate if left split for too long
before taking. So keep this
in mind if you want to split a
bunch ahead of time.
Please talk to your doctor
or health-care expert to
advise you if splitting pills is
safe, and about how to do so.

about home safety while on
vacation, I would like to add
the following: Check with
your bank for its policy on
forwarding mail. Mine does
not due to security reasons,
but I was not aware of this.
Also, despite leaving a
forwarding address with the
post office, I unfortunately
didn’t receive all of my mail.
I suggest calling companies
and giving them your temporary address. — Sally in
Pennsylvania
DEAR HELOISE: When
disposing of old credit cards,
after cutting up, put part
in the recycle bin and part
in the garbage. This way, if
anyone finds it, he or she
will not have a complete
number. — Marilyn F., via
email
DEAR HELOISE: We get
emails in font size 6 or 8,
and these are hard to read
without a magnifying glass.
Remind your readers that
emails, to be most easily
read, should be in font size
12 or larger, and in an easyto-read lettering.
If you want your messages
read, make them as readable
as possible. — Robert, via

very well. — Les in Omaha,

Do father’s antics put child at risk?
ANNIE’S MAILBOX • KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR
[email protected]
DEAR
ANNIE:
I’m a
58-yearold
woman,
and I’m concerned about my
year-old granddaughter.
When she was merely 4
months old, my son-in-law
would toss her up in the
air and then catch her. Her
head was completely unsupported. When she was 5
months old and the temperature outside was in the 40s
and rainy, he refused to put
a coat on her. When she was
6 months old, he put her on
his shoulders and bounced
her around the grocery
instead of securing her in
the car seat. When she was
11 months old, he admitted that he had tossed her
on their bed so she would
“bounce.”
Last Sunday, I was gently
pushing her in a swing
when he said, “You’re not
swinging her high enough,”
and proceeded to push her
aggressively and to a point
where I felt it was unsafe
for a child her age.
My daughter has told
me that he does things
that make her heart stop. I
believe he enjoys the attention and likes to upset my
daughter. I consider him to
be somewhat unbalanced.
Would this be considered
child endangerment? I had
composed a letter to her
pediatrician, but friends
and family urged me not to
send it for fear that child
protective services will be
called. Yet, if I know these
things and do nothing, I’m
as guilty as he is. I don’t
want to lose my granddaughter or my daughter.
Am I overreacting? —
Concerned Grandma
DEAR GRANDMA: Your
son-in-law’s behavior is
questionable, but we don’t
believe it’s enough to call
CPS. The problem is, he
doesn’t seem to understand
the boundaries of acceptable risk. First talk to your
daughter. She should make
it clear to her husband
that he must be more careful. Please tell her also to
discuss this with her pediatrician, and you should not
hesitate to let the doctor
know about your concerns.
Perhaps a professional can
talk some sense into her
husband before he unintentionally causes irreparable
harm.
DEAR ANNIE: My
husband recently passed
away. My sisters and one
of my closest friends never
particularly liked him, so
now they are all suddenly
my best friends. The biggest
problem is my friend
“Fran,” who thinks she
knows everything about my
life and won’t allow me to
make any decisions of my
own. Trying to assert myself
around her is mentally
exhausting. She wants to
know about my budget, what
I’m cooking for dinner, what
I’m doing for the weekend.
Every weekend.
I was a social bug until I
lost my husband. Now, not
so much. I attend church, go
to work and go home. I have
two teenagers who miss
their father terribly. I think
WEDNESDAYS:
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000,
San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you
can fax it to 210-HELOISE or email it
to [email protected].
I’m still grieving and do not
want anyone’s help if it has
to be so suffocating. Does
that make sense at all? —
Stressing in Kansas
DEAR KANSAS: Your
response to this smothering attention is perfectly
natural. You are indeed still
grieving, and Fran’s oppressive concern is provoking
some resentment, not least
because she did not get
along with your husband.
Tell Fran you need her to
back off for a while, and
then please consider some
grief counseling. Your
doctor or the local hospital
can refer you.
DEAR ANNIE: I am sure
“D.B. M.D, Loma Linda,
Calif.” meant well to inform
us how to better entice our
men and put out more.
I work in a salon, and we
talk about sex in detail.
The women with loving
husbands who are shown
respect are happy to give
their men plenty of sexual
activity. The men who aren’t
getting the sex life they
want are probably not as
kind, loving, respectful or
attentive to their women.
Please help men understand that women like sex
to start in the kitchen or
living room, an hour before
it actually happens in the
bedroom. — W.B.

AUSTIN — Katie Krull looked
like Kirk Gibson limping around the
bases on Tuesday night.
JM senior Sarah Eckerman was
getting ready to pinch run for Krull if
she got on base. But Eckerman knew
she wouldn’t have to run when she
saw Krull’s swing.

“It was awesome,” Eckerman said.
“I knew it was a home run right off
the bat.”
It was Krull’s third homer of the
season, and by far her biggest.
“We have that can-do attitude,”
Krull said. “The thing is if one person
gets down the next person picks them
up. We’re like a family.”
Of course members of the John

have heard of Gibson. But Rockets

If the Los Angeles Kings win the Stanley Cup — as they are favored to do,
oddly enough — they will be the first
No. 8 seed in the NHL or the NBA to
win a championship. Maybe then their
magnificent playoff run will be recognized.
For now, they are the second No. 8
seed to reach the Stanley Cup finals.
Edmonton, the West’s No. 8 seed in 2006,
lost in seven games to Carolina.
But no matter what the Kings do
against New Jersey, they won’t be the
most surprising team to reach the finals.
That honor may belong forever to the
Minnesota North Stars in 1991, two years
before the franchise packed up pucks
and sticks and headed for Dallas.
You could argue that this year’s Kings
were an eight seed in number only. They
were the first Pacific Division team to
clinch a playoff spot, and, with 95 points,
they were just 16 behind the top-seeded
Vancouver team they knocked out in the
opening round.
In 1991, 16 teams made the playoffs —
four from each division. Had they been
seeded based on conference, the lowly
North Stars would have been No. 8 in
the Campbell Conference.
“It’s tough to say who was better one
through eight this year,” former Stars
center Mike Modano said. “In ‘91, we
had 68 points and played Chicago, the
Presidents’ Trophy winners, right off
the bat.”
Modano was a 20-year-old center on
that North Stars team that, despite a
38-point difference in the standings,
knocked out Chicago in six games. Then
they faced St. Louis, which had finished
one point behind Chicago. The North
Stars beat the Blues in six games, too.
When they put away the defending
champion Edmonton Oilers in five
games, the team with the unsightly
27-39-14 regular-season record was in
the Stanley Cup finals against Mario
Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
And when Minnesota won Game 3 of
that series, the North Stars had a 2-1
lead and an eight-game home winning
streak during the playoffs. The impossible seemed just around the corner.
“We were propelled by momentum
and by not having had a lot of success
to that point,” said Bob Gainey, who has
returned to the Stars as a consultant
but was a first-year coach in 1991. “And
we had one of those coaches who just
wanted to play defense and got the players to stop making all those mistakes in
front of the goalie.”
The North Stars’ good fortune ran out
and sanity prevailed when the Penguins
outscored them 19-7 in the next three
games to capture the Cup. Where that
North Stars team found its strength at
home, this year’s Kings have been the
truest of road warriors, winning all eight
games away from Los Angeles.
“If I look at this LA team today and
that Minnesota team of more than 20
years ago, I think one common bond
is we brought in a couple of veterans,
Brian Propp and Bob Smith, and LA
is getting some benefit from doing that
with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter,”
Gainey said.
“I think LA’s different in that they’ve
had a couple more years of high draft
picks to get players like Dustin Brown
and some others.”
The greater balance in hockey today
makes the Kings’ run less of a Cinderella
story than Gainey and those North Stars
manufactured in 1991.
What makes the Kings story so remarkable isn’t simply their success this
spring. It’s their dominance.
Not only have they eliminated the
West’s Nos. 1-2-3 seeds to reach the
finals, they did it while losing only a
pair of games. And those losses came
after they had grabbed 3-0 series leads
against Vancouver and Phoenix. If there
is such a thing as a meaningless loss,
it’s the defeat a team suffers while up
3-0 just before putting a series away in
Game 5. And that’s what the Kings did
in both cases.
The Kings were never bad enough this
season for their playoff run to be as crazy
as the North Stars’ 1991 journey. But, as
a No. 8 seed, they’re just good enough to
make a little history, anyway.

Rangers sign Oswalt

Government rests case
in Clemens perjury trial
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas
Rangers agreed to a minor league deal
with free-agent pitcher Roy Oswalt with
the anticipation that he will join the
rotation within a few weeks.
Assuming Oswalt passes a physical, he
is expected to join Triple-A Round Rock
at some point this week.
The deal was announced in the middle
of the Rangers’ game Tuesday night
against Seattle.
The three-time All-Star was interested in joining the two-time defending
American League champions during the
offseason, but the Rangers were then set
with their starting rotation.
In 11 major league seasons with Houston (2001-10) and Philadelphia (201011), the 34-year-old Oswalt has a 159-93
record with a 3.21 ERA in 339 career

Serena Williams reacts shortly before losing to France’s Virginie
Razzano Tuesday during their first
round match in the French Open
tournament in Paris.
Williams ousted in opener
PARIS — For more than a decade,
whatever the state of her health or her
game, no matter the opponent or arena,
Serena Williams always won first-round
matches at Grand Slam tournaments.
Always. Until Tuesday at the French
Open. Until Williams, 30, came within
two points of victory nine times, yet
remarkably failed to close the deal
against unheralded and 111th-ranked
Virginie Razzano of France.
Until a theatrical, 23-minute final
game filled with 30 points, more than
enough for an entire set, featuring ebbs
and flows, high-pressure shotmaking and
nerves — and even thunderous protests
from the crowd when the chair umpire
docked Razzano a point. That look-awayand-you-miss-something game included
five wasted break points for Williams,
and seven match points that she saved,
until Razzano finally converted her
eighth, 3 hours and 3 minutes after they
began playing.
All told, until Tuesday, Williams
was 46 for 46 in openers at tennis’ top
venues, and those encounters tended
to be routine and drama-free, befitting
a woman so good that the goal — and
13 times, the end result — was a major
championship.
Not this time. Now Williams’ firstround Grand Slam record is 46-1 after as
stunning a denouement as could be in a
4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 loss to Razzano on the red
clay at Roland Garros. The fifth-seeded
Williams was considered by many a pretournament favorite. — Associated Press

Although he’s new to the head
coaching ranks in college baseball,
Zach Etheredge already hedges his
answers like a seasoned manager.
Ask the new Rochester Honkers
field general in May what type of
team he has put together for the
2012 Northwoods League season,
and he cleverly replies: “Ask me in
August.”
Etheredge, 27, a Texas native
and volunteer assistant coach at
the University of California-Santa
Barbara, was hired in October to
become the 11th field manager—and
sixth in as many seasons—in the
Honkers’ 19-year history.
Etheredge replaces Stefan McGovern, who took the job on short notice
last May and guided the Honkers
to a dismal 25-45 overall record. It
was the worst record in the eightteam North Division, and the lowest
The all-new Honkers coaching staff
also includes assistants JR Voyles,
29, and Matt Harvey, 23.
Harvey is a 2011 Nebraska graduate and a first-year administrative assistant at UC-Santa Barbara,
where he and Etheredge met. He
played catcher one season (2008) for
the Huskers.
Voyles and Etheredge were college
teammates at USTA, and Voyles
spent three seasons in the minors
as an infielder in the New York Mets
organization.
Voyles, who is currently a high
school coach in Houston, Texas,
was also a player in the Northwoods
League at the same time as Etheredge. He played two seasons (2004
and ‘05) with Thunder Bay and won
a league championship ring with the
Border Cats in his second year.
“When I accepted the head job at
Rochester, there was no doubt in my
mind who my first phone call would
be to,” said Etheredge. “JR, in my
opinion, is the best infield guy there
is, and he knows what it takes to win
in the league after winning a ring

Twins walk off in style this time
Local pro makes his
French Open predictions
Willingham’s
ninth-inning
homer a winner
By Tim Butorac
The French Open is the
second Grand Slam of the
year. It is played in a park
outside of Paris called Roland
Garros. It is played on red
clay, a slow dirt-like surface
that makes for long, grueling
points in singles and creative
point play in doubles.
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Two on,
two-out, down by two in the
bottom of the ninth.
The Minnesota Twins signed
Josh Willingham to be their
hammer in situations just like
this, and the struggling slugger
delivered in a big way against
the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
Willingham hit a three-run
homer to lift the Twins to a
3-2 victory, their second comefrom-behind win in as many
days.
“You want to be in that situation whether you get a hit or
not,” said Willingham, who
hit his fifth career walk-off
homer. “Fortunately I was
able to get a hit tonight. I’ve
been on the other end several
times as well.”
Justin Morneau added two
doubles for the Twins, who
trailed 2-0 heading into the
ninth thanks to a strong start
from A’s right-hander Jarrod
Parker.
But Jamey Carroll led off
the ninth with a single against
Brian Fuentes (2-1), who then
walked Denard Span. With
two out, Willingham hit a 1-0
pitch into the bullpen and was
mobbed by teammates at home
plate.
The Athletics squandered
another late-inning lead to lose
for the seventh time in a row.
The Twins ended Ryan Cook’s
23-inning scoreless streak in
the eighth inning Monday en
route to a 5-4 victory.
“Don’t ask me how,”
manager Ron Gardenhire said.
“I really can’t tell you. That’s
why you play nine innings.”
Parker allowed four hits,
walked four and struck out
four in six shutout innings for
the A’s.
Glen Perkins (1-1) pitched
the ninth for the Twins and
Fuentes, the former Twins
reliever, blew his second save
in six chances this season.
Signed to replace the
departed Michael Cuddyer,
Willingham got off to a fantastic start, hitting .313 with seven
homers in his first 31 games.
But he was hitting just .203
with one homer and 11 RBIs in
My pick in the men’s singles
is Rafael Nadal — nicknamed
the “King of Clay.” Rafa is
hard to beat with his great
speed and heavy topspin
shots. It often takes three or
four great shots just to win a
point. The other top-ranked
players that will have a shot
at the title are Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and
Andy Murray, but the smart
money is on Nadal.
The women’s singles draw
is very wide open. There
are six or eight women who
are playing well enough to
win the tournament. My two
favorites are Maria Sharapova
and Serena Williams. They
are both tough competitors,
but I like Maria this year.
She has won two of the lead
up clay tournaments and is
looking sharp. Serena still
gets injured too often and on
the clay, her fitness will be
tested. Look for players like
Petra Kvitova and Viktoria
Azerenka to go deep into the
draw.

Rochester’s Eric Butorac

A quarterfinal or better finish

Look for Americans Leizel

The Falcons turned in a stellar 322 team score, lapping
the field by more than 40
shots. Blooming Prairie
placed second at 363, while
Lanesboro was third at 374
and Hayfield placed fourth
at 399.
The impressive victory
earns the Falcons a spot in
the Class A state golf meet —
June 12-13 at Pebble Creek
Golf Course in Becker — for
the first time ever.
With five players back off
last year’s team, Blaschko
said he knew the state meet
was a possibility. But it didn’t
take away from the excitement.
“I don’t even know what to
say right now; it hasn’t really
sunk in completely,” Blaschko
said. “I’m pumped. We knew
after (subsections) that our
scores were good enough,
but we knew we needed to
play well to make it. And we
played better than I even
expected.”
That outstanding play
started with Blaschko. He
started his round with birdies
on two of the first three holes,
including at No. 1, where he
hit the pin with his approach

the boys portion of the Section One, Class A meet.
shot.
Blaschko, who also qualified for state as a freshman,
finished the front in even-par
36, and he lost his game a bit
on the back. But he held it
together enough to card 76,
which was good for medalist
honors.
“I definitely sputtered a bit
on the back, and I got tired,”
he said. “But I did enough, I
guess.”
Blaschko had plenty of help
from his teammates. Alec
Pierce was right behind him
with a round of 77, which was
the day’s second-lowest score.
Nic Schmidt carded 84, and
Bryan Pierce rounded out the
counting scores with an 85.
Five area individuals also
punched their tickets to the
state meet. Houston’s Mitchell
Beckman and Victor Peterson
of Blooming Prairie advanced
with rounds of 81. Fillmore
Central’s Andy Todd carded
82 to earn his spot, while
Hayfield’s Brady Becker
moved on with a round of 83.
Becker is just a freshman and
he made the switch to golf
from baseball this season.
Kenyon-Wanamingo’s Ben
Kindseth claimed the last
state spot with a round of 85.
L-A girls advance
Sydney Rinn stepped up for Lewiston-Altura, shooting
a 96 to be third-best among the Cardinals, who won
the girls team competition by 37 strokes.

SECTION 1A GIRLS
Lewiston-Altura girls golf
coach Julie Hennessy knew
this was going to be a different type of season for her
squad. L-A lost three quality
seniors off last year’s team.
But though L-A had a different look in 2012, it ended up
with the same kind of result.
Despite the tough playing
conditions, the Cardinals had
four scores under 100 and that
easily was enough. They won
the Section 1A crown with
a round of 381, which was
37 shots better than secondplace Wabasha-Kellogg (418).
Blooming Prairie placed
third at 449, and Hayfield was
fourth with a 456.
HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL, BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS
The state bid for LewistonAltura is its fourth in the
past five seasons. The Cardinals relied heavily on their
three returners this season,
but another player — Sydney
Rinn — stepped up in a big
way Tuesday.
Rinn carded a round of 96,
which was good for L-A’s third
counting score.
“Sydney has been steady
this season, but she played
great today,” Hennessy said.
“We’ve leaned heavily on
those top three, but Sydney
coming in today like that was
a huge bonus, especially with
the conditions. It was brutal
out there.”
Kaitlyn Hennessy had the
low round for L-A with 93. Elli
Hennessy shot 95, and Kayley
Borkowski rounded out the
counting scores with a 97.
While L-A was good Tuesday, Lanesboro was better.
Unfortunately, the Burros
were not part of the team
competition.
Though Lanesboro didn’t
advance to the section meet
as a team, they did have
four individuals in action. If
those four individuals were
competing as a team, Lanesboro would be going to state.
Those four scores totaled 379,
two shots better than L-A.
Lanesboro’s Kiah Halvorson was the only player to
break 90; she was the meet
medalist with a round of
89. Paige Hungerholt also
advanced to state for Lanesboro; she carded 94. Finally,
Lanesboro’s Johanna Bearson fired 96 to claim the final
state spot.
Other area state qualifiers
were Hayfield’s Kasey Dahlen
(95) and Wabasha-Kellogg’s
Kortney Wobbe (96).

Pretty good when you can
throw your third-best singles
player into the section tournament and he can still come
away as champion.
It looks even more impressive when your top two players opt for doubles and also
win that title with ease.
All of that happened for
the Rochester Lourdes boys
tennis team on Tuesday in the
Section One, Class A individual tournament at the Rochester Outdoor Tennis Center.
It was also no surprise. This
is the same Eagles team that
has serious hope of winning
the school’s first state team
title. That would come next
week, with the team tournament June 5-6 in Minneapolis.
But Tuesday, the concentration was on what they could
accomplish individually.
Turned out that it was a lot.
Kyle McGrane took home the
singles championship with a
6-2, 6-2 blasting of Kolin Kiekhoefer of New Life Academy
in the finals. The senior now
moves on to the state individual tournament June 7-8 in
Minneapolis.
McGrane will be joined there
by four more Lourdes players.
They include the Eagles’ top
two players, fellow seniors
Robert Turlington and Brian
Utz. Turlington/Utz humbled
Lourdes freshman teammates
David Turlington and Hadi
Berbari in the finals, 6-0, 6-0.
But as runners-up, David
Turlington and Berbari also
advance to state.
“I guess this was a statement
about the depth of our singles
lineup,” Lourdes coach Steve
Tacl said. “(In team duals) we
can beat a lot of teams with
just those guys winning.”
It’s a singles group that
normally has Robert Turlington at No. 1, Utz at No. 2,
McGrane at No. 3 and Alan
Schembri-Wismayer (who fell
in the individual tournament
singles semifinals) at No. 4.
But with Robert Turlington
and Utz going for doubles in
the individual tournament,
it left McGrane to show off
Lourdes’ singles power. And
he sure did, doing it on a day
that was cool and windy.
“The wind was kind of to
my advantage,” said McGrane,
who’s a big and towering
6-foot-5. “I grew up (through
age 10) in Pierre, S.D., where
there is always a lot of wind,
so I’m used to it.”
The one thing the lefthanded McGrane had to adjust
to Tuesday was retooling
his backhand — again. After
injuring his left elbow early in
the season, he’d found it more
comfortable to substitute his
backhand with a right-handed
forehand.
At least until Tuesday’s
finals. That’s when he changed
gears again, replacing that
unorthodox shot for a safe
“normal” backhand, which
he hit with a slice to keep the
pressure off his elbow.
That worked fine, though
he says he’s going to go back
to the right-handed forehand
for both individual and state
tournaments.
Tacl was pleased with
McGrane.
“I liked that he just kind of
took care of business,” he said.
“Even though Robert (Turlington) and Brian (Utz) played
doubles instead of singles,
I told him he has a lot to be
proud of in winning a section
title. It’s a great accomplishment.”
It surprised many that Turlington didn’t pursue singles.
This is the same guy who
finished third in singles in
last year’s state tournament,
and looks to have upped his
game some more.
But he liked the idea of
joining good friend Utz in
doubles. Both players like
their chances of potentially
finishing with a state title in
doubles.
“We definitely think we can
do some damage at state,” said
Utz, who was third at state in
doubles last year. “We think
we have a chance to win it.”

SECTION ONE, CLASS AA BOYS TENNIS
Mayo’s Nath gets long-sought
berth in state tournament
Post-Bulletin staff
OWATONNA — Finally, this
is Thomas Nath’s time.
One of the best boys tennis
players in the state since his
sophomore year, the Mayo
senior has finally advanced to
the state Class AA individual
tournament.
Nath did it with ease Tuesday at Owatonna High School.
He rolled past Red Wing’s
George Gabrielson 6-1, 6-0 in
the singles semifinals of the
Section One, Class AA tournament, then beat Mayo teammate Eric Rustad 6-1, 6-0 in
the finals.
In recent years, the Section
1AA path to state in singles
had been murderous. That’s
because two graduates from
last year, Century’s Eric Frueh
and Owatonna’s Eric Zishka,
always lurked. Frueh and
Zishka were top-six players
in the state, including Frueh
finishing second in last year’s
state tournament.
Nath never could quite get
past either in the Section 1AA
tournament. But Tuesday, with
them gone, there was little
resistance for a guy who was
ranked in the top 10 in the
state last year and is a top-five
guy this season.
“It was nice to see Thomas
advance to state,” Mayo coach
Jeff Demaray said. “He’s had
some tough players in our
section to go up against.”
Nath won’t be the only Mayo
player participating in the June
7-8 state individual tournament
at the University of Minnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center.
Also advancing Tuesday was
singles teammate and fellow
senior Rustad, and the doubles
team of Michael Poeschla and
Nick Ackerman. The top two in
singles and doubles each move
on. Rustad had to play a truesecond place match to secure
•
•
his spot, but easily won that
6-0, 6-3 over Gabrielson.
Sophomore Poeschla and
freshman Ackerman won their
section title match 6-3, 7-5
over seniors Tommy Joswiak
and Brett Peters of Century.
Joswiak/Peters had gotten
there after beating Mayo’s
Sawyer Bock and Andrew
Johnson in a marathon match,
6-2, 6-7 (7-5 tie-breaker), 6-4.
The Century duo had to
perform some Houdini acts to
make that happen, including
fighting off three break points
with the score tied at 4-all in
the final set.
“You’ve got to give that
Century team a lot of credit,
they came up with big shots
in clutch situations,” Demaray
said.
Demaray likes the way
Poeschla and Ackerman are
playing. He sees good things
for them at state.
“Poeschla and Ackerman
have an aggressive doubles
game,” Demaray said. “When
we play indoors at state… that
faster surface there is even
better for them.”
• The John Marshall
doubles team of Abhi Lamba
and Jason Howard made it to
the semifinals, where they fell
to Poeschla and Ackerman
in a tight match, 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker), 6-3.

SECTION ONE, CLASS AAA SOFTBALL
Rockets rally twice to survive, advance to title round
By Guy N. Limbeck
[email protected]
(507) 285-7724
AUSTIN — John Marshall was
down to its last out in Section One,
Class AAA softball play Tuesday and
things were looking bleak against
city rival Mayo.
Top-seeded JM trailed 7-6 and had
two on with two outs against Mayo.
Jamie Schacht then lifted a fly ball to
center field that appeared would be
a season-ending out. But the ball was
dropped and both JM runners scored
to give the Rockets an unlikely 8-7
win and a reprieve on the season.
The crushing loss in the section
elimination game ended Mayo’s
season. The Rockets advanced to the
next round and defeated Hastings 9-8
in another elimination game to reach
the section finals.
JM lost a 6-1 lead against Hastings, had to rally with two runs in
the bottom of the seventh to force
extra innings and then won when
senior Katie Krull delivered a gamewinning home run in the bottom of
the eighth.
“We just like to keep it exciting,”
Krull said. “(We) like to keep our
fans watching.”
JM’s faithful didn’t dare stray far
on Tuesday as the Rockets won a pair
of heart-pounding games to reach
Thursday’s section finals against
unbeaten Farmington, which beat
Hastings 4-3 in the winners bracket
final.
John Marshall (18-5) rode the
momentum of beating Mayo to take
a quick 6-1 lead over Hastings after
two innings. Hastings, the No. 4 seed,
had beaten JM 9-8 earlier in the
double-elimination tournament by
jumping out to a quick lead.
This time Hastings rallied by scoring two in the fifth, three in the sixth
to tie the game and two more in the
seventh to put the Rockets on the
brink of elimination.
But the Rockets refused to fold.
“We have a whole bunch of leaders,” JM coach Thang Nguyen said.
“They play for each other all the
time. To lose a big lead and not get
down? They just love to play the
game and it shows. This is a team
that hates to lose.”
JM had its first four runners of the
seventh reach base and Schacht had
an RBI single to cut the gap to 8-7.
But Ashley Jochum was thrown out
at home on a close play at the plate
on the hit. After a groundout, JM was
down to its final out for a second
straight game. But Erin Meyers delivered her second run-scoring single of
the game, and her third hit, to tie the
score and force extra innings.
Kristen Erickson, who gutted out
the final four innings on the mound,
pitched a scoreless eighth to set the
stage for Krull’s dramatic home
run to left to send
JM into the section
finals.
“We all really
need each other,”
Krull said. “That’s
the way we play.”
Krull, who had
five RBIs in the
earlier loss to Hastings, was 2-for-3 with
Meyers
a double, homer and
three RBIs. Lauren
Kalwasinski also hit a double, homer
and drove in two runs while Katy
Eckerman had three hits and Jochum
added two.

Spartans eliminated
Mayo led JM 6-3 at one point and
was an out away from advancing
before suffering a staggering loss on
the outfield error.
“What can you do, kids make
mistakes,” Mayo coach Clint Thome
said. “They had some errors, too.”
In fact Mayo turned a bizarre
infield triple play in the sixth inning
to preserve the lead. JM had runners
on second and third when shortstop
Gabrielle Laures fielded a grounder
and got the runner at first. First baseman Virginia Brust threw home to
catcher Anna Brakke and the runner
at third was caught in a rundown and
tagged out. Third baseman Makinzee
Kazeck then tagged the JM runner
from second, who wandered off the
bag and already thought she was
out.
“It just goes to show you that you
have to be into the game 100 percent
mentally,” Thome said.
“I never thought I’d see a triple
play in softball, especially one like
that,” Nguyen said.
Laures went 3-for-4 with an RBI for
Mayo and No. 9 hitter Melissa Conger
hit a solo homer and
drove in two runs as
the Spartans built
a 6-3 lead, which
didn’t last.
“Against a good
team a crazy error
can make the
difference and it
did today,” Thome
said.
Conger
Nicole Kraushaar
went 3-for-4 for JM and Krull had two
hits and two RBIs.
Sixth-seeded Mayo, which graduates six seniors, finishes 12-12.
“We wanted to improve and gain
confidence and every single one of
our girls did that,” Thome said.

Owatonna ends
Mayo’s season
Mayo figured it would have
its hands full if Owatonna
pitcher Dalton Homeier ever
entered its second-round
1AAA game Tuesday.
Well, he did, and they did.
Homeier, a big left-handed
pitcher, dominated the action
after entering in relief of
Jordan Howe in the third
inning. Homeier helped
hold Mayo down to three
hits in the entire game as the
Huskies prevailed 7-3.
“Homeier is an awfully
good pitcher,” said Mayo
coach Dan Hoefs, whose
season ended at 14-8 overall. “He’s got a good fastball
and he was really getting his
curveball over (for strikes).
Still, we played an awfully
good game.”
Mayo was the fourth seed,
Owatonna (14-8) the fifth.
Mayo led 3-1 going into the
sixth inning. That’s when
the Huskies’ first five hitters
strung together consecutive hits, including a pair of
doubles. That led to a fourrun inning.

C.F.’s Trost
sets record
at 1A meet
Post-Bulletin staff
WINONA — Emi Trost is up
to it again, saving her best for
the end of the season.
The Cannon Falls sophomore ran her fastest 3,200meter time this season
Tuesday, timed in a Section
One, Class A meet record
10:55.53. That broke the mark
held since 1998 by RushfordPeterson/Houston’s Kristi
Colbenson, of 10:58.46.
Trost’s best 3,200 time this
season had been 11:14.58. She
was second at state in the
event last year in 10:52.73.
Tuesday’s meet was mostly
qualifying for Thursday’s
final day of the two-day event,
being held at Paul Giel Field.
The girls and boys 3,200 races
were the only running events
that were finals. ZumbrotaMazeppa’s Nathan Warneke
won the boys end of the race
in 9:42.87.
Three girls field events were
run as finals, and three boys.
The top two individual
finishers in each event qualify
for the state meet June 8-9 at
Hamline in St. Paul.
Caledonia/Spring Grove
junior Emma Lange successfully defended her section
meet high jump title, clearing
5-feet-5 for first place. Section
1A qualified three high jumpers for state, with PlainviewElgin-Millville’s Hayley Rau
finishing second at 5-3, and
Stewartville’s Paige Tapp also
making it by standard, at 5-3
(more misses at that height
than Rau).
Action resumes with field
events at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Running events start at 4:30.

with a 19-4 record.
LOSER-OUT
Cotter 10, Pine Island 6
By Jason Feldman
Cotter jumped on Pine Island
early, then held off a late Panthers’
rally.
Cotter lead 8-1 after three innings,
but the Panthers clawed back with
a run in the fourth and three in the
sixth. In the seventh, Pine Island’s
Bruche Miller belted an RBI double
to left field, then Alison Newton
reached on an error. That left the
tying run on deck, but Cotter pitcher
Felicia Dieterman forced a gameending double play.
P.I. ends its season with a 15-9
record.
SEMIFINAL
K-M 5, S.G./Caledonia 0
[email protected]
AUSTIN — Abbey Lacey is one of
three seniors on the Kasson-Mantorville softball team — ranked No. 2 in
the state in Class AA — and one of
two in the team’s starting lineup.
So, while the future looks bright
for K-M, the future is now for Lacey
and fellow seniors Clarisa Nelson
and Kortney Kleber.
Lacey did her best to help her
team climb within one victory of
its first state tournament appearance since 1990 and third in program
history. Lacey had one hit, scored
K-M’s second run and later had a
sacrifice bunt to move the KoMets’
final run into scoring position.
Freshman pitcher Maddie Damon
did the rest in K-M’s 5-0 victory
against Spring Grove/Caledonia in
a Section One, Class AA semifinal
game at Todd Park. Damon struck
out 13 batters, allowed two hits and
walked one in pitching a two-hit
shutout.
“It’s great, such a great feeling,”
Lacey said. “Last year, we had a
great team going into the playoffs
(that lost in the South Subsection
2AA semifinals), and this team is
great, too. It’s one of the best teams
I’ve ever been on.”
K-M (22-2) has won seven consecutive games, allowing a total of eight
runs in those games. Included in
that stretch is a 12-1 win on May 15
against Winona Cotter, the team K-M
will face at 5 p.m. Thursday in the
section title game. Upstart Cotter,
which has won nine of its past 12
games after a 2-11 start, will need to
beat K-M twice to advance to state.
“We’ve faced them before, and
that’s a big plus for us,” K-M coach
Jeff Fague said. “We need to come
through and continue to play good
defense.”
Just as it did in a West Subsection
championship game victory against
Pine Island on Monday, K-M played

error-free ball in its victory against
Spring Grove/Caledonia.
“We’re a high-energy team,” said
Lacey, K-M’s starting center fielder.
“We talk a lot and communicate
really well. Maddie’s a good pitcher,
but (SG/C) has some good hitters, so
we definitely needed to be a strong
defensive team.”
SG/C pitcher Samantha Bratland kept K-M off the board until
the fourth inning. Damon started a
rally with a two-out hit, then courtesy
runner Samantha Mathias advanced
to third base on Aylisha McClaflin’s
base hit. Mathias scored when the
next batter, Brooke Paradise, struck
out swinging, but reached base when
the third strike got past SG/C catcher
Lottie Augedahl.
K-M then used three hits and a
walk to put three more runs on the
board in the fifth, for a 4-0 lead.
Kaylea Schorr and Dana Rasmussen each had RBI singles in the rally,
which gave Damon and the KoMets
a comfortable cushion.
K-M added one more run in the
sixth, when Lacey’s sacrifice bunt
moved Danielle Head to second
base. She came around to score on
two wild pitches.
“(Lacey) is a prototype center
fielder,” Fague said. “She will run
anything down she can possibly get
to, and her leadership ... she always
has a positive attitude, that’s very
helpful with a younger team.”

Micaela Trainor had two hits and
drove in the game-winning run for
Cotter (11-14), which is now two wins
away from its 12th state tournament
appearance in 16 seasons.
The Ramblers never trailed against
SG/C, which had beaten them three
days earlier in the east subsection
title game. Kathleen Bowlin’s RBI
single in the fourth put Cotter up 1-0,
then Trainor and Hannah Kosel had
run-scoring singles in the fifth.
Cotter then tacked on two unearned
runs in the sixth to seal another trip
to the section final.

SECTION ONE, CLASS A SOFTBALL
It’s Blossoms and Gophers in championship round
Lewiston-Altura
knocked out by
Chatfield
By Scott A. Kolb
[email protected]
AUSTIN — Pulling out
a thrilling 2-1 win in eight
innings Tuesday night over
Lewiston-Altura kept Blooming Prairie on track for a third
straight Section One, Class A
softball championship.
In the title round coming
up on Thursday night at Todd
Park, the Awesome Blossoms
will have to contend with the
resilient Chatfield Gophers
for a trip to state.
Chatfield beat KenyonWanamingo 4-3 in eight innings
in the first elimination game.
Then, the Gophers eliminated
L-A — ranked fifth in the state
Class A poll — with a 5-2 win
in the late game.
“L-A took it to us three times
this season, but it’s tough to
beat a team four times,” Chatfield coach Jeff Johnson said.
“They had a great team, but
we were able to get it done
and stay alive in the tournament. Now, we get to play the
defending champs and the
girls are very excited about
that opportunity.”
WINNERS BRACKET FINAL
Blooming Prairie 2, L-A 1
The winner’s bracket game
lived up to the hype with the
Gopher Conference champs
(ranked seventh in the state
poll) taking on the best team
in the Three Rivers Conference.
L-A pitcher Brooke Schilling and Shelbi Swenson of
Blooming Prairie put on a
show for the fans. Each pitcher
recorded 13 strikeouts in the
extra-inning affair.
After a number of missed
scoring chances by both sides,
the Blossoms got the first run
of the night in the top of the
sixth. Jenna Krell led off with
a single, went to third base on
a double by Hunter Henderson, and scored on sacrifice
fly from Swenson.
The Cardinals answered
in dramatic finish an inning
later. Leading off the bottom of
the seventh, Danielle Harstad
erased her team’s one-run
deficit with a blast over the

left-field fence.
“I just had to shake off
giving up the home run and
stay positive on the mound,”
Swenson said. “We took the
lead back and I got another
chance to get her out.”
Tricia DeBoer beat the
defensive shift of L-A and led
off the top of the eighth with
a bloop double to left field.
DeBoer went to third on a
sacrifice by Krell and scored
on a wild pitch. Her run would
the difference for B.P.
“I was trying to go to left
and beat their shift, so it felt
good to drop in a double,”
DeBoer said. “When the ball
got away from their catcher, I
was thinking just run fast and
score that go-ahead run.
“We’re all pretty excited
about the win and hopefully,
we can go back to state.”
In the bottom of the eighth,
the situation got a bit precarious for Swenson. With one out,
Natalie Kalmes of L-A got a
single and then stole second
base. Allissa Heim followed
with an infield single to put
two runners aboard.
Swenson next struck out
Schilling to set up another
confrontation with Harstad.
Eschewing the idea of issuing
an intentional walk after a
•
•
conversation with coach Ali
Mach, the stage was set for
Swenson to get revenge. She
did so masterfully and caught
Harstad looking on the third
strike to end the game.
“I told coach to let me pitch
to her, because I wanted to
face their best hitter in that
situation,” Swenson said. “It
feels so good to come out on
top and get into the championship round.”

LOSER-OUT
Chatfield 4, K-W 3
Battling back twice from
deficits gave the Gophers a
close win over K-W.
Although not a lot of runs
were scored in this elimination game, the two pitchers
had high pitch counts in the
marathon. Katie Berquam of
K-W wound up throwing 134
•
pitches and Katie Jech had
100 pitches in the win.
K-W took a 2-0 lead in the
top of the third. Back came
the Gophers with two runs in
the bottom of the third on a
double from Tori Woltz.
The Knights retook the lead
in the top of the fourth with an
RBI single by Johnson. K-W
held the lead until the bottom
of the seventh, when Jech hit a
double to score pinch runner
Janessa Erding for a 3-3 tie.
In the bottom of the eighth,
Sarah Costello got aboard
with a leadoff walk. Candace
Gould followed with a single
to move Costello into scoring
position. After an out, Sidney
Irish singled to plate Costello
with the winning run.
“We’ve had several comebacks over the years, but that
was one of the biggest I’ve ever
seen,” coach Johnson said.

LOSER-OUT
Chatfield 5, L-A 2
L-A beat Chatfield twice
during the regular season and
again last week in the subsection, but not this time. The
Gophers hit a pair of home
runs in the upset win.
The first blow for the
Gophers off Cardinals pitcher
Brooke Schilling came in the
top of the third. Woltz and
Ashley Wolter set the table
with singles. After an out,
Sarah Costello cleared the
bases with a three-run blast
over the left-field fence.
“I don’t I’ve ever yelled as
loud as when the home run
was hit by Costello,” coach
Johnson said. “That was big
to get the lead and then, Katie
Jech put on a masterful pitching performance.”
Woltz hit a solo homer to
lead off the top of the fourth
and Makenzie Miller later
scored on an error in that
inning to make it a 5-0 lead.
Natalie Kalmes hit a solo
homer to lead off the bottom
of the fifth, but the Cardinals
were running out of time. L-A
got another run in the bottom
of the seventh and had two
•
•
runners in scoring position,
but a line drive was caught by
Keefe at third base to end the
final threat.
“We just wanted another
shot at L-A and this time we
finally got a win against them,”
Jech said. “Both of those home
runs were big and it gave me
some room to work with in
the final innings. I was a little
nervous when they scored in
the seventh inning, but I have
faith in my defense. We’re
ready to play Blooming Prairie.”
Chatfield (18-6) plays Blooming Prairie (18-3) at 5 p.m. on
Thursday for the Section 1A
championship. If a late game
is needed it will be played at
7 p.m.
