Unfortunately, most accidents could have been prevented with adult guidance and supervision. Tim Smalley, DNR water safety specialist, noted some common scenarios when a dozen 17- and 18-year-olds go to one of their parents’ cabins up north. • An alcohol-impaired person dives off the end of a dock without checking the depth. The water is only three feet deep and his or her head hits the bottom, fracturing the cervical spine and causing drowning. • A few young people grab a canoe out of a shed and head out without life vests. Later the alcoholimpaired paddlers capsize the canoe and only one of the three makes it back to shore. “Parents should ensure their grads are adequately supervised, and the adult responsible for the gathering should see that teens do not consume alcohol,” said Smalley. “No one should be allowed near any kind of boat, canoe or personal watercraft without wearing a life jacket, and no one should dive head first from a dock.” the history of a green beret - part I by philip neese Page 2 the spendid blackburian warbler by warren nelson Page 3 Obituaries/births Pages 4 & 5 One vehicle rollover on Co.

Richard Henrickson in uniform of the Green Beret. By Philip Neese Richard Henrickson dedicated 45 years of his life to the U. S. Army. He tells us of his experience including “Jump 4001”. “I was born and raised in Crosby and graduated from C-I High School. I was attracted to military service by my Dad, Eiler Henrickson. My Dad, believe it or not, fought in the Spanish American War. He was in the army for three years during that time and then he joined the Navy for fifteen years. He was trained in deep sea diving. He used a hard helmet and suit while he worked on one of Americas most famous salvage projects, which was the salvage of the USS Maine that took place in Savanna, Cuba’s harbor. “Dad got married when he was 40 years old to my mother, Mabel, and they had nine children. Dad was sixty years old when I was born and I do have a younger brother. “It seemed to me that I had a lot to live up to so I went over to Aitkin and joined the National Guard in 1949 when I was 15 years old. Of course I had to stretch my age just a little! Would you believe it the Aitkin National Guard was activated in 1950 and our soldiers were going to be sent to Korea. The Aitkin Guard was Company B, 194th Tank Battalion, 47th Infantry, Minnesota National Guard. “My brother Eiler Henrickson Jr., who was a professor of Geology, heard about the fact that I was being sent to Korea. It just happened that Eiler served in WWII, he was a staff officer for General Dwight Eisenhower, and when he spoke to my commander, Captain Larry Nelson, he mentioned my actual age. I was suddenly transferred to the Brainerd Reserves, which was and Engineering Unit. I continued on and graduated from C-I and then joined the regular Army in 1952. “I remained in the military until 1982, completing 33 years of service. I was hired as a civilian to train US Army Special Forces as a High Altitude Freefall (HALO) Parachute Instructor until 1994. A total of 45 years of Federal service. “Some of my assignments were three years of Korean War Service, five years with Co. B, 194th Tank Bn., two years with the 82nd Adm. Division and 20 years with the Special Forces. As a member of the Special Forces I was assigned to Korean Services, 10th Special Forces in Germany, 1 ½ years in Vietnam. I was chosen as an instructor at Fort Bragg, N.C. in parachute jumping, which included High Altitude – Low Opening (HALO) and High Altitude – High Opening ((HAHO). HALO jumping was a method of deploying paratroopers with the least exposure to enemy fire. HAHO was a method of inserting paratroopers across borders by slipping across borders by using the parachute as a glider. “Normal high altitude jumping was at 20,000 feet. Jumps were made from altitudes as high as 36,500 feet, however those jumps require oxygen.” Sgt. Richard Henrickson received the Award of the Soldier’s for heroism in the Republic of Vietnam. On the 19th of September, 1967 as a member of the Special Forces at Bien Hoa. A jet lost a wing while landing and crashed into the mess hall of the hospital. The hospital was on fire and ammunition was exploding from the burning plane. Sgt. Henrickson dashed into this inferno to carry hospital patients to safety. He struggled through wreckage and removed burn- ing timbers, going into the hospital several times. On that occasion Sgt. Henrickson carried 20 Vietnamese soldiers out of the burning building. Some of those soldiers were trapped in that fire and would have surely perished if it were not for the action of Sgt. Henrickson (Info copied from General orders number 6083). Richard Henrickson tells us about an unusual incident that occurred at Ft. Gordon Georgia in 1965. “I was assigned to a two year Medic course at the Ft. Gordon Hospital and I was working under the direction of the chief Cardiologist when orders were shouted at me. “Get over to the Little White House on the double! “I did not understand what was required of me. I asked for the orders to be repeated. I was sent over to buildings that were attached to the hospital. These rooms were reserved for President Dwight Eisenhower and other important dignitaries. “When I got to the Little Whitehouse, I saw President Eisenhower and he had just had a heart attack. He had been playing golf on the Ft. Gordon golf course when the attack happened. “I became Ike’s personal attendant for two weeks. I attended to his needs from 0600 until Ike was tucked into bed for the night.

C. with him, however, I told him that I had waited a long time to get this medical course and told him that I would like to finish it. Sgt. Henrickson with Ike and Mamie Eisenhower (11-22-59). State passes public apology to people with disabilities During the final days of the 2010 session, legislation publicly apologizing for the state’s past treatment of people with disabilities was adopted. House File 1680/Senate File 1135 passed both the House and Senate without opposition and today was signed into law by the governor. State Sen. John Marty, author of the legislation, said that after 13 years of pushing for its passage, it is time for the state to acknowledge that terrible injustices were done to tens of thousands of Minnesotans who were punished for having mental illnesses or developmental and other disabilities. Sen. Marty issued the following statement: “I am very pleased that the state, on a bipartisan basis, was willing to make this apology. minnesota’s Largest Selection For new construction or to upgrade to a more energyefficient home, there’s no better time to add Andersen quality.

In those institutions, some were forced to work without pay; some were subjected to medical experiments and procedures without their consent; and some were subjected to punitive shock treatments, aversive treatments, and isolation. The Senate Health Committee heard from adults who spent their childhood locked in an institution, away from their families, sometimes being cruelly punished for things beyond their control. They were denied the dignity that every person deserves. This is a shameful part of Minnesota’s history. “By offering this public apology, the state acknowledges its past mistakes and helps put closure on this era. This apology may not seem important to some, but for people who were wrongfully committed to these institutions earlier in their lives, this apology is of great importance. For the individuals and families affected, they are finally hearing the state say these meaningful words ‘we’re sorry’.” Need a Well Drilled? aitkin • 218-927-2153 Hoses also available at: Palisade Coop • Palisade • 218-845-2333 D&S Truck Repair • McGregor • 218-851-1555 *some sizes not available at all locations Well Drilling • Abandonment Repair • Pump Sales & Service FREE ESTIMATES 26744 Hwy. 210 • Aitkin, MN 56431 Dennis • 218-927-3571 Lyndon • 218-534-3442 www.NewsHopper.net NewsHopperTM June 12, 2010 3 The splendid Blackburnian Warbler By Warren Nelson As a family, there probably is no other group more totally and varyingly beautiful than the warblers. It is sad that they are so small that they are easily overlooked by most people, well hidden among the leaves. The Blackburnian Warbler may be the most brilliant of all the warblers, only found east of the Mississippi River in the United States. It was named in 1788 by Johann Gmelin for Anna Blackburne, an English botanist and bird specimen collector. The Blackburnian Warbler is about four and one-quarter inches long. The male in breeding plumage has black and white upper parts and a buffy-white belly. He has dazzling orange on his head, his throat and up- per breast. He has a black back, striped white and sides streaked with black. He has black wings with white wing patches and black legs and feet. The female is similar to the male except she is duller colored and she has white wing bars instead of wing patches. And, immature birds have a pale yellow face and have indistinct streaking on the sides. When seen in bright light and the sun shining on his gorgeous front, it flashes out like a burning flame. Elliott Coues, ornithologist and one of the founders of the American Ornithologist Union wrote “There is nothing to compare with the exquisite hue of this Promethean torch.” (Prometheus was, in Greek mythology, the Titan who taught mankind the use of fire, which he had stolen from heaven for their benefit. For this, he was punished by Zeus by being chained to a rock where a vulture came each day to eat away his liver, which was made whole again each night.) They nest in the north-central and northeast Minnesota, returning from their wintering grounds in Guatemala, Peru, Costa Rica and northern South America in May and stay around until fall migration in August and September. In summer, they prefer mixed deciduous and coniferous forests, especially where there are large pines and spruces. Their song is very thin and wiry, sung from the highest perch in a conifer, looking similar to a tiny, radiant ornament on a Christmas tree. The nest is on a horizontal branch of a spruce or pine tree, made up of twigs, plant down and lichens in a deep cup, lined with grasses and animal hair. The female lays four or five pale green eggs with brown blotches. She alone incubates the eggs for about 12 days – with the male bringing her food at the nest. Both parents feed and take care of the young on the nest and for several days after they fledge – which is at about 12 days of age. Their diet is made up of mostly insects, beetles, ants and caterpillars. They vary their diet by eating some berries. The can be seen darting out like flycatchers, chasing after flying insects. John Burroughs, famed naturalist and writer, wasn’t real happy with the name for the warbler and Fish with a child for free June 11-13 Celebrate the end of the school year with a potential angler-to-be by fishing for free with a child 15 or younger June 11-13 during Take-A-Kid Fishing weekend. Getting started is easy. You don’t need a boat, and the availability of loaner equipment in some areas means you won’t even need a pole or tackle. Start by visiting www. mndnr.gov/takeakidfishing to learn some terminology, basic techniques and shorefishing locations. Area and regional DNR fisheries offices throughout Minnesota also gladly will offer some good, old-fashioned angling advice about fishing spots that will keep young anglers happy and safe. The DNR’s Fishing in the Neighborhood (FiN) program provides urban shore-fishing opportunities across the metro with family-friendly settings, piers, loaner equipment at some locations and a real chance to catch quality fish. Learn more online at www.mndnr.gov/fin. Three of Minnesota’s eight state parks that are offering this summer’s weekly I Can Fish program have sessions scheduled during Take-AKid Fishing weekend. At William O’Brien, Interstate and Mille Lacs Kathio state parks rods, reels and bait will be provided so participants can join park naturalists and experienced fishing coaches for an afternoon of fishing. I Can Fish sessions at each park explore the basics of fishing, fish identification and angling tips and tricks. Thirty of Minnesota’s 66 state parks offer loaner fishing equipment that can be used within the park when visiting. Even when it’s not Take-A-Kid Fishing weekend, Minnesota residents may fish in a state park without a fishing license provided the body of water does not require a trout stamp. Anglers also must fish from shore or wade in water within the state park or from a boat or a float on a designated lake within a Minnesota state park. wrote “The orange-throated warbler would seem to be his right name, his characteristic cognomen, but no, he is doomed to wear the name of some discoverer, perhaps the first who robbed his nest or rifled him of his mate – Blackburn. The burn seems appropriate enough, for in these dark evergreens his throat and breast show like a flame.” It is in these whispering forests that are its home, dwelling among the tall timber, where few will see it without truly searching for it. But the search for those who seek, it is certainly worth the effort when found.

Services were held Thu., June 10, 2010, at Sandberg Funeral Home, North St. Paul. A private burial will be at the Saron Cemetery in Aitkin.

Gallery features ‘A Dutch Revival’ Paintings by Sarah Wieben — half painted after Dutch masters, and half her own Minnesota compositions — will be featured in an exhibit at Ripple River Gallery, June 9 through July 11. A reception for the artist is planned from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sat., June 12. Wieben began what has become an almost obsessive interest in Dutch culture, particularly 17th century Dutch culture. “One could say I have strayed quite a bit from my initial query, but I have come up with a half-baked explanation for why the work of a Minnesota artist might look like that of a Dutch one,” Wieben said. The Ripple River Gallery is located five miles south of Deerwood on Hwy. 6, then 3 miles east of Ruttger’s Bay Lake Lodge on Co. Rd. 14 to Partridge Ave. For more information call 218-678-2575.

Focus on the Family www.family.org (800) A-FAMILY (232-6459) Documents offer hints about Kagan Elena Kagan’s nomination to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court is still raising more questions than it’s answering. Even 46,000 pages of documents from the Clinton Library, released over the weekend, are offering precious little in the way of information. Republicans, looking for clues to Kagan’s judicial philosophy, have turned to memos written throughout her career and to the judicial philosophies of those for whom she worked. Elena Kagan has contributed money to the National Partnership for Women and Families, which has ties to NARAL ProChoice America and Emily’s List, an organization that helps get pro-abortion Democratic women elected to Congress. Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network, said the little information available is revealing. “A lot of people have been trying to paint her as a moderate,” she said. “These documents really show that that’s not who Elena Kagan really is.” Kagan has also been an outspoken critic of Rust v. Sullivan. In that case, the U.S. Supreme Court said Department of Health and Human Services regulations, which keep Title X family planning funds from paying for abor- tion programs, are constitutional. “Rust illustrates the way in which government funding may have both more potent and more disruptive effects than direct government speech,” Kagan wrote in an article. “How better, then, to communicate an anti-abortion message: through direct speech or through selective subsidization of health care providers? The latter course…wreaks havoc on the ability of those private parties in the best position to challenge the message to provide a counterweight to government authority.” “That raises questions as to whether she’ll be able to leave the politics behind, if she’s on the Supreme Court,” said Severino, “because it’s a very different type of role.” As counsel for President Clinton, Kagan worked on a memo regarding the partial-birth abortion ban legislation. Clinton had vetoed the measure and several Democrats had offered amendments to the bill that made it ineffective, including Rep. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, whose amendment included broad exceptions that would have gutted the law. “We recommend that you endorse the Daschle amendment in order to sustain your credibility on HR 1122,” she wrote, “and prevent Congress from overriding your veto.” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said there is little doubt where Kagan stands. “You see quite a radical liberal and President Obama knew what he was doing when he nominated her,” he said. “These documents are confirming that she’s as far left as everyone suspected.” Opponents to the nomination are also looking at those whom Kagan deems “heroes,” including Aharon Barak, a retired chief judge of the Supreme Court of Israel, who was made famous by his willingness to legislate from the bench. Barak was awarded the Peter Gruber Foundation Justice Prize at Harvard Law School in 2006. In her introduction of Barak, Kagan called him “my judicial hero. He is the judge who has best advanced democracy, human rights, the rule of law and justice.” But it should be noted that Israel does not have a Constitution, so following Barak’s example that a judge “should adapt the law to life’s changing needs,” does not work in the U.S. “The question Americans want answered?” Fitton asked, “Is this the type of person we want appointed to the highest court in the land?” Family News in Focus is sponsored by: Hyytinen 218-546-7333 1-800-549-3664 Spalding Hotel Building 5 W.

Details on the quarantine can be found at www.mda. state.mn.us/en/plants/pestmanagement/eab/eabquarantine.aspx EAB Background While EAB spreads slowly on its own, it can hitch a ride to new areas when people transport firewood or other wood products infested with the larvae. EAB in an invasive beetle that attacks and kills ash trees. Its larvae kill ash trees by tunneling under the bark and cutting off the tree’s supply of water and nutrients. Since its accidental introduction into North America, EAB has killed more than 50 million ash trees in 14 states and Ontario, Canada. “Minnesota is a prime target for EAB with more than 900 million ash trees,” Burks said. More information about EAB is available at www.dnr. state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialanimals/eab/index.html “Remember, the best firewood is local firewood,” Burks said. “Help stop the movement of forest pests.” Tips to enhance bee habitat A new poster highlighting the critical importance of bees and butterflies and pointing out ways in which landown- ers can enhance pollinator habitat is now available from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). glen Area AuctioN STRUCTURAL BUILDINGS For more information call the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul. This year it was found in the Prospect Park East River Road neighborhood of Minneapolis and the Upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlife Area of Houston County. As a result, hardwood firewood, ash trees and ash products in Hennepin, Houston and Ramsey counties are quarantined. Firewood originating from a quarantined county in Minnesota will be approved only for use in that county. Firewood from counties contiguous to quarantined counties in Minnesota will be approved only for use in those counties. To slow the spread of EAB, the quarantine also prohibits the movement of the following items out of quarantined counties and counties contiguous to a quarantined county: • Firewood from hardwood (non-coniferous) species. • Entire ash trees. • Ash limbs/branches. • Ash logs or untreated ash lumber with bark attached. • Uncomposted ash chips and uncomposted ash bark chips greater than one inch in two of the three dimensions.

More firewood information is available at www.dnr.state. mn.us/firewood/index.html. Susan Burks, DNR’s Exotic Species Program coordinator, adds that Minnesotans should take the following steps to keep EAB and other forest pests from spreading • Leave extra firewood onsite and don’t bring it home. • Never buy or move firewood that came from outside of Minnesota. Those camping on state forest land outside of a designated campground may gather dead wood on the ground for campfire use onsite. In state parks and designated campgrounds in state forests, visitors are prohibited from scavenging dead wood.

Although the poster targets roadsides, the best practices apply to any landscape where prairie wildflowers are appropriate. The poster offers tips for helping bees and butterflies by improving bee nesting habitat, nectar and pollen resources. Plant pollination by insects is an essential ecosystem service. Common foods requiring pollination include: tomatoes, peppers, blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, apples, melons, sunflowers, pumpkins, plums, squash, and canola. Bumblebees pollinate some plants better than honeybees resulting in larger and more abundant fruit. Eighty-seven of the world’s 124 most commonly cultivated crops are insect/animal pollinated. Between 60 and 80 percent of the world’s 250,000 flowering plants depend on animals for pollination. In the United States, the National Research Council reported in 2007 noteworthy losses of both managed and wild pollinators. Habitat loss, pesticide use, diseases, parasites and the spread of invasive species are the major causes of pollinator decline. Threats to pollinator communities affect not only pollinators themselves but also natural ecosystems and agricultural productivity. www.NewsHopper.net (Published in NewsHopper Sat., May 15, 22, 29; June 5, 12, 19, 2010) NOTICE OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE SALEPRIVATE THE RIGHT TO VERIFICATION OF THE DEBT AND IDENTITY OF THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY LAW IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS ACTION.
