Rochester police said.
The car was later found, abandoned off

Police Lt. Dan Muyres said a 26-year-old

Muyres said the man was believed to be high on

The victim told police he had been driving
north on U.S. 63 and took the on-ramp to U.S.

the ramp, so the driver stopped. The victim
said the man opened the car door, pulled him
out of the car, then took off in it.

Paul Howard, right, of Rochester, was struck and killed Tuesday near Park Rapids, Minn.,
as he rode a bicycle. Howard and his wife Julianne, center, and children Andrew, left,
Michelle and Evan vacationed in Rome earlier this year.
Fitness, knew Howard for about 25 years.
“He was a customer and a friend,” Hawkins
said. “He was great, just always upbeat. Really
passionate about cycling, passionate about his
kids, really proud of his kids and what they
were doing. He always had great stories to tell
about cycling trips or traveling for work and
things like that. A real positive guy.”
While Howard didn’t compete on an amateur
racing circuit, he did enter citizen events, such
as the Rochester Centurion.
The accident took place on the same road
MS Tram bikers, more than 1,000 of them, would
use. Howard was not taking part in the MS ride.
He preferred to train on his own, often riding
his bike in the wee hours of the morning to get
some miles in before leaving for work.
“He’s done a lot of cycling; more miles than
I can imagine. I’ll bet some years he cycled
10,000 miles — very impressive,” Hawkins said.
Said Andrew, “He just loved going out there.
Every weekend, he’d be out doing a couple of
hours of biking. Then, he just loved being with
the family, too.”

When Paul Howard wasn’t working or
spending time with his wife and children, he
could often be seen zipping by on a bicycle.
Bicycling was a longtime passion of the 51year-old Rochester man. It was what he was
doing early Tuesday morning near Park Rapids,
Minn., when a van hit him from behind, killing
him.
Howard had been on vacation with
his wife, Julianne, and son, Evan,
and was out
taking one last
bicycle
ride
before they headed
home, said his son
Andrew.
A 42-year-old Detroit

driving the van that struck
Howard. She left the scene,
and later the Minnesota
State Patrol arrested
her. Alcohol was
detected in her

Funeral arrangements are pending with
Macken Funeral Home in Rochester.
He was an engineer who commuted every
day to Seagate Technology in Bloomington,
Minn. That’s about three hours of driving a day,
yet he tried to make it to as many of his kids’
school and sports activities as he could, Andrew
said.
“He rarely missed my cross-country meets in
high school, then in college (at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter), and my sister’s band
stuff, and my brother’s band stuff,” Andrew
said.

The city of Rochester’s decision to hire a Milwaukee marketing firm to promote the proposed $75 million Mayo Civic Center expansion
sparked loud complaints from those who wanted
the city to “buy local.”
The Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce
was among those complaining.
In view of the complaints, city officials took
another look at the decision to hire Ellingsen
Brady Advertising for $5,000, at the Rochester
Convention and Visitors Bureau recommendation, said City Council President Dennis Hanson.
But Hanson said this morning that Brady
Ellingsen had started the campaign and it was
too late to change the decision.
“We’ll learn from this experience and move
on,” Hanson said.
Ellingsen Brady is same firm that created
the “Rah Rah Rochester” campaign to promote
the city.
Hiring the out-of-state firm hit a nerve with
the Chamber of Commerce, which is promoting
its “Buy Rochester” campaign. The campaign
asks Rochester businesses to increase their
local purchases by at least 5 percent. About

The same marketing company hired for the “Rah Rah Rochester” campaign has been
hired to promote an expansion at the Mayo Civic Center.
250 local businesses, including the Rochester
Convention and Visitor Bureau, have pledged
to do that.
“The Chamber of Commerce is very clear on
this subject. We want every dollar possible to
stay in our community,” chamber board
chairman Jon Eckoff said Wednesday.
While there was not a large number of complaints about the hiring of Ellingsen Brady, “it
just was very vocal,” said Hanson.
“I was just bombarded by some folks. I was
kind of caught off guard,” he said.
The owner of one Rochester marketing firm,
MLT Group, says hiring local makes the most
sense.

pulse of Rochester than a Milwaukee agency,”
said MLT owner Mike Pruett.
Ellingsen Brady will be promoting the Mayo
Civic Center expansion. To raise Rochester’s
share of the project cost, the city plans to seek
legislative approval for a 1 percent hotel-motel
tax and a 1 percent food and beverage tax.
Hanson says it is very important that residents, and legislators, understand this project.
“We want to make sure it is well done,” he said
of the presentation.
Hanson added that he is a supporter of buying
local and he understands the chamber’s position.
However, “we, the city council, have to be a
little bit cautious not to let the chamber nitpick everything” we do, he said.

Bourne vs. James Bond
Would lack of a grocery store in a
small town discourage you from
moving there?
Associated Press
Matt Damon’s amnesiac assassin
Jason Bourne shares initials with
another notorious screen operative.
But other than that, Damon doesn’t
see any similarities between Bourne
and James Bond.
Bond is “an imperialist and he’s
a misogynist.
He

and wisecracks about

36, said.

“Bourne is

noid guy.
He’s on the run. He’s not the government. The government is after
him. He’s a serial monogamist who’s
in love with his dead girlfriend and
can’t stop thinking about her,” Damon
said. “He’s the opposite of James
Bond.”
The third movie in the series based
on Robert Ludlum’s books sends
Damon’s penitent killer back to his
roots to uncover how he became such
a perfect weapon and who was
responsible.
Damon said he bumped into
former Bond star Pierce Brosnan in
London and they chatted briefly.
Brosnan told him the aesthetics
and style of Bond can be updated
“but fundamentally, what the character is is something from the 1960s,”
Damon said.
Paul Greengrass, Damon’s director
on Universal’s “Bourne Ultimatum”
and its 2004 predecessor, “The
Bourne Supremacy,” agreed that
Bond is a relic from a different era.
Absolutely. Shopping locally is
part of the appeal of small-town life.
No. I tend to shop at big

Brian May to finish degree
Associated Press
Brian May is completing his doctorate in astrophysics, more than 30
years after he abandoned his studies
to form the rock group Queen.
The 60-year-old guitarist and songwriter said he plans to submit his
thesis, “Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud,” to supervisors at
Imperial College London within the
next two weeks.
May was an astrophysics student at
Imperial College when Queen, which
included Freddie Mercury and Roger
Taylor, was formed in 1970. He
dropped his doctorate as the glam
rock band became successful.
Queen was one of Britain’s biggest
music groups in the 1970s, with hits
including “Bohemian Rhapsody” and
“We Will Rock You.”
After Mercury’s death in 1991, May
recorded several solo albums,
including 1998’s “Another World.”
But his interest in astronomy continued, and he co-wrote “Bang! The
Complete History of the Universe,”
which was published last year.
He was due to finish carrying out
astronomical observations at an
observatory on the island of La
Palma, in Spain’s Canary Islands, on
Tuesday, the observatory said.
May told the British Broadcasting
Corp. that he had always wanted to
complete his degree.
“It was unfinished business,” he
said. “I didn’t want an honorary Ph.D.
I wanted the real thing that I worked
for.”

JOKE OF THE DAY
Magic Johnson stands tall in civil rights
The early 17th century German
philosopher, Eberhardt derHorst, was
able to sum up the Germanic utilitarian rational lifestyle in a simple
phrase, “I am; therefore I think.”
Unfortunately, he found himself
upstaged by a French philosopher
who had uttered a similar phrase for
the existence of an individual, the oftrepeated, “I think; therefore I am.”
It is not surprising that the
Frenchman is remembered and the
German forgotten, since people have
always put Descartes before derHorst.

were the result of trauma.
Swenson said James and
Heck have admitted to being
the only two adults alone with
the infant during the week.
“We feel it narrows it down
to those two,” she said.
She told Chase that the doctors said the injuries were so
significant that the child was
in extreme pain, that even
changing his diaper would
have caused him to be
“extremely agitated.”
She said Heck and James,
interviewed separately, said
the injuries must have come
from a car seat. Doctors said
that was not possible, Swenson
said.
After hearing arguments
from attorneys, Chase asked
them for written briefs. He
specifically asked that they
address case law that supports
charging multiple people with
identical crimes without direct
evidence that they were participants or if someone can be
present when a crime is committed and be liable for the
actions of another and charged
as aiding and abetting the
crime.
“There is no direct evidence
she hurt the child?” Chase
asked. Swenson said there is
not, and no direct evidence
that Heck injured the child
either.
“But we know she was in
the room; that bones were
likely broken,” Chase said.
“There’s an interesting question of law here.”
Attorneys have until Aug. 13
to submit their briefs. Chase
then will have 30 days to
decide.
Heck’s attorney, William
Wright, has filed a similar
motion to dismiss the charges
against Heck, and it will be
heard Sept. 19.
Authorities seek cat that bit man’s hand
Post-Bulletin staff
Rochester animal control officers are investigating a cat
bite that happened about 7 p.m. Saturday in the 5600 block of
25th Avenue Northwest.
“The biting animal is a small cat, very young, gray in color
with black spots. No collar was seen,” Capt. Brian Winters
said in a statement.
A man was bitten on the left hand and might have to undergo
rabies shots if the cat isn’t located by Tuesday.

UPDATING
A contentious Studio Academy board
meeting Wednesday was marked by controversy over the transition to a new board
of directors.
Highlighting recent tensions at the
Rochester charter school, two Studio
Academy school board meetings — to be
held by different boards claiming to the
school’s governing body — were scheduled for 7 p.m. on the same night.
The first meeting, which was announced
last week, was a “special/emergency
meeting” to be held in the cafeteria by a
board with four new members elected last
month by teachers and parents. The election was held at a time when many at the
school were expressing frustration with
the decision to not renew the teaching
contract of Kandice Mascotti, a school cofounder.
The second meeting, which was
announced Monday, was a closed-doors
session in the school’s Fireside Room open
only to the school’s previous board, some
of whose members remain on the incoming
board.
Just one meeting was actually held at 7
p.m. Wednesday at Studio Academy: The
incoming board gathered in the cafeteria
in front of roughly 30 attendees.
Four former school board members sub-
mitted letters protesting last month’s elections. Complaints included board members not being allowed to vote and that a
group unfairly influenced voters by
handing out fliers outside the polls.
A complaint from outgoing board
member and former board chairwoman
Susan Bergquist also said newly elected
board members have not completed
training and are not yet qualified as
required by school bylaws.
After seeking legal advice, Studio
Academy sponsor Volunteers of America
determined it would accept the authority
of Studio Academy’s newly elected board
of directors, whose first meeting had been
set for Aug. 1. (State law requires charter
schools, which are publicly funded, to have
sponsor organizations oversee them.)
Volunteers of America expressed frustration with the new board, saying in a
written statement that “we are profoundly
disappointed with the board’s actions to
date.”
Objections listed in the statement
included that Wednesday’s emergency
meeting was called to discuss a “legal/personnel matter,” but the board hadn’t
briefed the school’s lead administrator,
Eric Holsen, on the issue nor invited him

Hiring of attorney was also a point of contention
Board’s closed
session also
sparked
complaints
By Matt Russell
mrussell@postbulletin.com
Tension over the transition
to a new board wasn’t the only
controversy Wednesday night
at Studio Academy in
Rochester.
One point of contention at
the charter school’s board
meeting was the decision to
hire a new attorney for Studio
Academy, Steven T. Rizzi Jr. of
Austin.
Shane Weinand, a representative of Studio Academy
sponsor Volunteers of America,
alleged conflict of interest in
the decision, saying some board
members have sought advice
from Rizzi’s firm in the past.
Rizzi responded that confidentiality prevented him from
saying whether his firm has
given advice to Studio Academy
board members.
Board member Sue Foster
said she contacted Rizzi to ask
him if he was interested in representing the school after she
got his name from the Minnesota School Board Association.
Board member Katie Mel-
gaard, who voted against hiring
Rizzi, said later in the meeting
that she was concerned that the
board approved hiring the
attorney without discussing how
much the school would pay him.
Also expressing concern was
Justin Testerman of Volunteers
of America. The decision apparently was made by some board
members before the meeting,
Testerman alleged in an interview after the meeting, possibly
in violation of the state’s open
meeting law.
Another item on the agenda
Wednesday was a closed-door
session to discuss what was
listed in the agenda as a “personnel matter.”
Not attending the meeting
was board member Kandice
Mascotti, a Studio Academy cofounder whose teaching contract was recently not renewed.
Mascotti has since threatened
litigation against Studio
Academy, and the school board
rejected — with Mascotti
abstaining — a settlement offer
from Mascotti last month.
The Studio Academy board
didn’t give a public summary
of the closed meeting after it
was over, and Weinand objected
to being barred from the session.
Also objecting to Volunteers
of America not being allowed in
the meeting was board member
Katie Melgaard, who complained that Studio Academy’s
outgoing lead administrator,
Eric Holsen, was not being
allowed to attend the session.
Joining Mascotti at Studio
Academy on Wednesday was
her attorney, Tammy Pust, who
said Mascotti was one of the
issues being discussed in the
closed-door meeting.
Another question that arose
Wednesday night, though not
in formal board discussion, is
Mascotti’s board membership.
When her teaching contract
wasn’t renewed in June, Mascotti was told that she would
immediately lose her board
membership. The school’s previous attorney, however,
decided that Mascotti could
serve on the board until the
original end date of her contract, which is July 31.
On Wednesday, board secretary Scot Schwark said that he
expected the board would
select a new staff member to
fill Mascotti’s position after July
31.
Pust said, however, that she
thinks Mascotti should retain
her elected position on the
board beyond the end of her
teaching contract.
According to state law,
licensed teachers employed at
a charter school must be a
majority of the members on the
school’s board of directors. The
law allows only the state’s education commissioner to waive
the teacher-majority requirement.
The Studio Academy board
is comprised of five teachers
and four community members,
with Mascotti filling one of the
five teachers’ slots. Studio
Academy directors are elected
to two-year terms.

“In general, these proceedings have been
planned under a cloud of suspicion” that
has resulted in stress and has been a distraction for school staff, the statement said.
Pamela Captain, Studio Academy’s new
board chairwoman, declined comment
Wednesday on Volunteers of America’s
objections, saying she needed more time
to read the sponsor’s statement.
So how did two separate meetings, with
two different boards, get scheduled
Wednesday night at Studio Academy?
The first meeting was announced by
board secretary Scot Schwark, who said
he gave notice of the meeting in accordance with school by-laws after receiving
written requests for the meeting from five
members of the incoming board.
Bergquist said she scheduled the second
meeting because she heard Volunteers of
America would support a meeting being
held by the outgoing board.
“They called a meeting for a board that’s
dead — I don’t know what that’s all about,”
Schwark said before the meeting
Wednesday.
Bergquist, who called the meeting “a
joke,” said she was saddened by the recent
direction the board has taken, calling it a
“power play “ that wasn’t in the best
interest of students.

Area school bus driver accused of misconduct
By Heather J. Carlson
hcarlson@postbulletin.com
MANTORVILLE — A 49-year-old
bus driver is facing criminal sexual
charges for allegedly performing a
sexual act on a teenage boy who rode
his school bus.
David Andrew Gerlach, of Brownsdale, was charged Wednesday in
Dodge District Court with felony thirddegree criminal sexual conduct and
third-degree attempted criminal sexual
conduct, and a gross misdemeanor
charge of contributing to the need for
protection or services.
Gerlach has been a bus driver for
Wilson Transit in Dexter, which provides bus service for the Hayfield
School District, said district Superintendent Ron Evjen.
Evjen said he was caught off-guard
by the criminal charges against Gerlach.
“I am totally shocked,” he said. “He
was just always there helping. He was
a very giving person."
According to the criminal complaint,
Gerlach text-messaged the victim, who
was at least 16 years old on July 15.
In the messages, he offered to give
the victim cigarettes, beer and apple
schnapps. The teenager met Gerlach
at his company’s school bus garage in
Brownsdale. Gerlach gave the victim
the promised items and then performed a sexual act on the victim.
Dodge County Sheriff Gary
Thompson said the case came to light
because the victim’s mother discovered text messages between Gerlach
and her son on his cell phone. She
turned the phone over to investigators.
On July 22, a sheriff’s investigator
posed as the victim by using his phone
and text-messaging Gerlach. During
the messaging, Gerlach said he should
buy the victim a phone and asked if
they could get together the next day.
The investigator arranged to meet Gerlach in the Hayfield School District’s
parking lot. Gerlach was arrested at
the scene. A new mobile phone with
the receipt was found in the suspect’s
car.
The sheriff said that Gerlach doesn’t
have a criminal record.
Gerlach previously owned his own
business, Gerlach Bus Co., which provided services to the Hayfield School
District for several years along with
two other bus companies, Evjen said.
Gerlach became a bus driver for
Wilson Transit and has worked as a
bus driver in the district for the past
four years. Kim Wilson, owner of
Wilson Transit, could not be reached
for comment Wednesday.
Evjen said the district doesn’t perform its own background checks on
bus drivers and expects the bus company to handle that. He said Gerlach
will no longer be allowed to drive a
school bus for the district.
Gerlach has been released from the
Steele County Detention Center after
posting $20,000 bail. The conditions
for release require he have no contact with the victim, the victim’s family

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Veterans Homes Board
is negotiating with the state
Health Department in an
attempt to get the license
renewed for the Minneapolis
Veterans Home.
The 402-bed state-owned
home has been under scrutiny
since problems in care were
uncovered last year. While steps
have been taken to correct the
problems, state officials said
Wednesday that they want more
assurance that the cycle of violations will end.
A state inspection in late 2006
found 34 violations of care standards and other regulations.
Earlier this year, inspectors
cited the home for medical
errors connected to the deaths
of three veterans at the home.
The Veterans Home was
fined $40,700 this year after
many of the problems weren’t
corrected. Nine of those fines
were for $200 or more. Under
state law, four fines of that size
can cost a nursing home its
license.
While the home’s license
expires Monday, it will continue
in effect until an agreement is
reached with the Veterans
Homes Board, probably by
early August, said Darcy Miner,
who heads the Health Department inspectors.
“We are concerned,” Miner
said. “In a situation as serious
as this, we will always use all
the tools available to us.”
The agreement being negotiated includes a provision that
the home spend about $1 million over the next two years for

Governor asks Ag department

Associated Press
ST. PAUL — Gov. Tim Pawlenty has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency to begin a formal
assessment of drought damage
to Minnesota’s farmland as a
first step toward a possible disaster declaration.
The governor and state agriculture officials will work with
FSA offices in the state to
review the county-by-county
damage assessments and prepare a formal disaster declaration request if needed, Pawlenty said Wednesday.
“We are hearing reports of
significant problems with crops
and forage production, especially in central Minnesota,”
Pawlenty said in a news
release. “We need to collect

The latest weekly crop report

This is the second straight

Last year, the northwestern and

Farm-state lawmakers could save subsidies
New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — For the
many critics of farm subsidies,
including President Bush and
House
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, this
seemed like the ideal
year for Congress to
tackle the federal
payments long criticized for enriching
big farm interests,
violating trade agreements and neglecting
small family farms.
Many crop prices
are at or near record
highs. Consternation
over the country’s
dependence on foreign oil has sent Pelosi
demand for cornbased
ethanol
soaring. European
wheat fields have
been battered by too
much rain. And
market analysts are
projecting continued
boom years for
American farmers
into the foreseeable
future.
But as the latest
farm bill heads to
the House floor
today, farm-state lawmakers seem likely
to prevail in keeping Bush
the old subsidies
largely in place, drawing a veto
threat from the White House
on Wednesday.
Faced with fierce opposition
from members of the House
Agriculture Committee, Pelosi
and other Democratic leaders
lowered their sights on reforms
and are now backing the committee’s farm bill, in part to protect
rural
freshmen lawmakers who may
be vulnerable in
the 2008 elections.
Instead, Pelosi
helped to secure
more
modest
changes, pushing
the committee to
provide $1.8 billion in new aid for
fruit and vegetable growers,
generating support from those
farmers
and
deflating some of
the opposition by
lawmakers
seeking reforms.
At the same time,
Pelosi
pronounced the bill a
“good first step to
reform” by ending
subsidies for the
richest farmers —
those earning
more than $1 million a year — and
closing a loophole
that let some
farmers exceed
subsidy limits by
owning partnerships in multiple farms.
A group of dissident lawmakers led by Rep. Ron Kind,
D-Wis., and Rep. Jeff Flake, RAriz., is still pushing a plan to
sharply curtail the subsidies.
14 states paid at least $1 billion in aid
The U.S. government’s crop subsidy program dispersed $34.8 billion to
farmers from 2003 to 2005.

But they have been largely
outmuscled by the Agriculture
Committee, whose 46 members
make up slightly more than 10
percent of districts in the House
yet took home more than 40 percent of all farm subsidies
between 2003 and 2005,
according to a database compiled by the Environmental
Working Group, which opposes
the subsidies.
Critics in Congress include
fiscal conservatives who deride
the payments as wasteful government spending and liberals
AP
who call them corporate welfare for agribusiness. All say
the measure will simply perpetuate the overly generous
subsidy system, at a point when
American farmers are well-positioned to weather changes.
The White House, in a
strongly worded statement on
Wednesday, said that Bush
would veto the farm bill in its
current form because it was too
expensive and would require
tax increases while not doing
enough to fix subsidy programs.

Molester gets 45 years
A former children’s hospital respiratory therapist was sentenced
Wednesday to 45 years and 8 months
in prison for molesting five disabled
children and taking pornographic
photographs of others in a crime several of the victims' families described
as their worst nightmares.
“I just want you to know it doesn’t
matter what you say or how many
years you spend in jail — it’s not going
to be enough,” parent Lillian Godfrey told Wayne Albert Bleyle at his
sentencing hearing. “I don’t think you
have a soul.
You're just
an empty
h u m a n
shell.”
Bleyle,
who
told
investigators
he molested
as many as
half the children
he
treated in
his 10 years
working in
the convalescent ward Bleyle
at Rady Children’s Hospital, did not turn to look
as a succession of weeping parents
and family members spoke from the
public gallery just behind him.
Instead, he stared straight ahead or
cast his eyes down at the table in
front of him.

Federal agents raided 10 marijuana
clinics in Los Angeles on Wednesday,
the same day city leaders introduced
a measure calling for an end to the
crackdown on the dispensaries
allowed under state law.
The bust netted five arrests, large
quantities of marijuana and cash, and
was the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration’s second-largest since
California voters approved medical
marijuana sales in 1996. The drug
remains illegal under federal law.
The agency has maintained the
clinics are distribution points for
illegal drugs and earn their owners
big profits. Those arrested Wednesday
included clinic owners and managers,
though no patients, for investigation
of marijuana distribution.

Temperature increase noted
Nevada is among the states with the
most dramatic increase in average
temperatures the last 30 years,
according to a new study that examines the impact of global warming
across the country.
The average temperature in Reno
from June through August last year
was 75.6 degrees, almost 7 degrees
above the 30-year average, the U.S.
Public Interest Research Group
reported. The gap was the biggest
measured nationally.
Las Vegas’ average temperature last
summer was 3.6 degrees above the 30year average from 1971-2000, while
Elko’s was 4 degrees above normal
and Ely’s was 2.1 degrees hotter, the
report said.
“The scientific evidence of global
warming is incontrovertible, and
Nevada is feeling the heat more
intensely than most of the rest of the
U.S,” said Stephen M. Rowland, Professor of Geology at University of
Nevada, Las Vegas.
A college fraternity president and
aspiring rapper who was accused of
threatening a “murderous rampage”
similar to April’s deadly shooting
spree at Virginia Tech pleaded not
guilty Wednesday.
A gun dealer had alerted federal
authorities
about Olutosin Oduwole, saying

an affidavit
filed in court
by a police
d e t e c t i v e . Oduwole
The affidavit
also said Oduwole was seen walking
around campus wearing a bulletresistant vest in May.
The Southern Illinois University
student was arrested Friday after
police said they found a handwritten
note in his car demanding payment
to a PayPal account, threatening that
“if this account doesn’t reach $50,000
in the next 7 days then a murderous
rampage similar to the VT shooting
will occur at another highly populated
university. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!”
Oduwole, who turned 22 on
Wednesday, was charged a day earlier with making a terrorist threat. He
was being held on a total of $1.1 million bail.

Retaining wall prompts suit
Wildfires threaten homes
Herbert and Shirley-Ann Leu were
thinking landscaping, not politics,
when they built an 85-foot-long concrete wall in their backyard.
The Leus had just finished building
the 4-foot-high wall in Blaine when
they were visited earlier this year by
the International Boundary Commission, a joint U.S.-Canadian agency
that maintains the countries’ border.
American commissioner Dennis
Schornack told the Leus their
retaining wall stuck about three feet
into a 10-foot border buffer zone that
had to remain free of obstruction. He
said if the Leus didn’t tear their wall
down, the commission would do it for
them — and send them the bill.
The Leus said they had done all
their homework before putting in the
wall, and none of the officials who
issued building permits ever mentioned such a problem.
So the Leus sued, with help from
the Pacific Legal Foundation, which
has an annual budget of about $9 million, versus less than $1.5 million for
the Boundary Commission.
Helicopters and air tankers joined
firefighters working to save homes
from a fast-moving brush fire in Montana as dozens of wildfires scorched
the West on Wednesday.
The fire in western Montana was
about 5 square miles and threatened
about 20 residents outside of Polson,
said Rich Janssen, fire information
officer for the Confederated Salish
and Kootenai Tribes. Two homes were
temporarily evacuated, but residents
were later allowed to return.
Some 120 firefighters fought the
blaze Wednesday.
The National Interagency Coordination Center in Boise, Idaho, was
tracking 48 large fires across the
nation. Fires were burning in nine
western states and the Florida panhandle.

Fungus concerns foresters
Coastal state forests are experiencing a resurgence in Swiss needle
cast disease, a fungus that kills the
evergreen needles on Douglas fir trees
by interrupting photosynthesis.
Aerial surveys conducted by the
Oregon Department of Forestry show
338,543 acres infected by the disease
— almost double the 2004 total.
The fungus thrives in warm, wet
conditions. The disease turns needles
yellow before the tree “casts” them
off. The fungus doesn’t kill the trees,
but it reduces their growth rate by 20
percent to 50 percent.
“The fact that we’re up almost as
high as we were in 2000 is fairly concerning to me because in the last
seven or eight years people have been
doing a lot to manage the disease,”
said Alan Kanaskie, a Department of
Forestry pathologist.

Texas had the nation’s highest birth
rate among teenagers ages 15 to 19 in
2004, according to a newly released

The Kids Count study, which is
updated annually by the Annie E.
Casey Foundation in Baltimore, said
the Texas rate of 63 births per 1,000
teens remained the same from 2003
to 2004.
Texas tied New Mexico and Mississippi for the top spot in 2003, but
both of those states saw their rates
decline in 2004. The average rate
nationally was 41 births per 1,000 teens
in 2004. Texas mirrored the rest of the
nation in reporting a steep decline in
teen births since at least 1990.
“Texas has been showing improvement, but other states are showing
more improvement,” said Frances
Deviney, director of Texas Kids Count
and a senior research associate for
the Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin.

Documents indicate eight congressional leaders were briefed about
the Bush administration’s terrorist
surveillance program on the eve of
its expiration in 2004, contradicting
sworn Senate testimony this week by
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The documents underscore questions about Gonzales’ credibility as
senators consider whether a perjury
investigation should be opened into
conflicting accounts about the program and a
dramatic
March 2004
confrontation
leading up to
its potentially illegal
reauthorization.
A Gonzales
spokesman
maintained
Wednesday
that
the
attorney general stands
by his testi- Gonzales
mony.
At a heated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Gonzales
repeatedly testified that the issue at
hand was not about the terrorist surveillance program, which allowed the
National Security Agency to eavesdrop on suspects in the United States
without receiving court approval.
Contempt citations pass
A House panel Wednesday slapped
two of President Bush’s top advisers
with contempt of Congress citations
for refusing to give up evidence in the
probe into the firings of nine U.S.
attorneys.
The Democratic-controlled House
Judiciary Committee voted 22-to-17
along party lines to go after White
House chief of staff Joshua Bolten
and ex-Bush counsel Harriet Miers,
a former Supreme Court nominee.
“For our view, this is pathetic,”
White House spokesman Tony Snow
said after the vote.
Bolten and Miers got the rare
rebuke after invoking executive privilege to block subpoenas for their testimony in the inquiry into allegations
the prosecutors were axed because
they didn’t back the administration’s
political agenda.
Noriega to fight extradition
Just weeks off, former Panamanian
dictator Manuel Noriega is fighting a
French extradition request on money
laundering charges.
Noriega was expected today at a
hearing where he was to be formally
notified of the extradition request,
prosecutors said. A decision on the
request was not expected for weeks.
Noriega, 71, was convicted in 1992
of drug and racketeering charges
involving his acceptance of bribes
from Colombia’s Medellin cartel to
allow shipments of U.S.-bound cocaine
through Panama. His 30-year prison
term was reduced for good behavior,
and he is scheduled to be released
Sept. 9.
He had intended to fly to Panama
to fight a conviction in the slayings
of two political opponents, his lawyers
have said.

Cat apparently senses death
Oscar the cat seems to have an
uncanny knack for predicting when
nursing home patients are going to
die, by curling up next to them during
their final hours.
His accuracy, observed in 25 cases,
has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It
usually means they have less than
four hours to live.
“He doesn’t make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when
patients are about to die,” said Dr.
David Dosa in an interview. He
describes the phenomenon in a
poignant
essay
in
today’s issue
of the New
England
Journal of
Medicine.
“ M a n y
family members take
some solace
from it. They
appreciate
the companionship that
the cat provides for their Oscar
dying loved
one,” said
Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.
The 2-year-old feline was adopted
as a kitten and grew up in a thirdfloor dementia unit at the Steere
House Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center in Providence. The facility
treats people with Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses.

Democrats push Iraq pullout
House Democrats have drafted new
Iraq legislation they hope will appeal
to Republicans fed up with the war:
Start withdrawing troops in two
months but leave it up to President
Bush to decide when to complete the
pullout.
The vote will come next week, as
members take up a $460 billion bill
covering military spending for 2008.
Another vote could come again in September, after Iraq commander Gen.
David Petraeus delivers a long-anticipated assessment on the war and
Congress considers a $142 billion
measure needed to finance the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“This is big
time,” Rep.
John Murtha,
D-Pa., said of
the upcoming
fall debate.
“When you
get to September, this
is history.
This is when
we’re going to
have a real
confrontation
with the president trying
to
work Murtha
things out.”
The House has passed similar antiwar measures in the past, but has
been unable to push the legislation
through the Senate, where Democrats
hold a slimmer majority and Republicans have routinely blocked such
bills from advancing.
Rural kids better in science?
Rural students perform better in
science than their urban counterparts,
and rural teachers are generally
happy with their schools, a federal
study says.
While many education reports
examine urban issues, this Education
Department study provides a snapshot of what’s happening in rural
schools. In all, about a third of U.S.
public schools are located in rural
areas. Generally, areas with fewer
than 500 people per square mile are
considered rural by the Census
Bureau.
When it comes to achievement, the
report released Wednesday finds science is a strong subject for rural students.
That could be because kids get their
education in real-world settings as
well as classrooms, says Marty Strange,
policy director of the Rural School
and Community Trust, an advocacy
group. “Rural life is a little closer to
nature,” he said.

Children’s families outraged
The families of the children infected
with the AIDS virus in a Libyan hospital voiced outrage Wednesday at the

were flown home to Bulgaria a day
earlier.
“We deeply condemn and are
deeply disappointed at the absurdity

faxed to the Associated Press.
The five nurses and one doctor were
flown to Bulgaria on Tuesday and
immediately pardoned by Bulgarian
President Georgi Parvanov.
Their release was secured during
a three-day trip to Libya by French
first lady Cecilia Sarkozy and the
European Union’s commissioner for

Sarkozy was heading to Libya on

Defense minister replaced
More than a week after Brazil’s
deadliest air accident, President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva has begun
shaking up his country’s troubled airtraffic system.
Wednesday morning, he accepted
the resignation of Waldir Pires, his
embattled defense minister, and
replaced him with Nelson Jobim, a
former chief justice of the Supreme
Court.
Lula also fired the head of the
country’s airport authority, Jose Carlos
Pereira, according to a news report.
Authority representatives couldn’t
immediately confirm the report.
Brazil’s Defense Ministry oversees

More anti-terrorism efforts
Culture clash of Travelers
The Bush administration told Congress on Wednesday it is demanding
Pakistan do more to counter terrorists in its frontier areas, and a senior
defense official said U.S. special forces
would strike an extremist target if
they had urgent intelligence.
While calling President Pervez
Musharraf the “most indispensable
partner” of the United States in
fighting terror, Undersecretary of State
Nicholas Burns told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the
administration wants a more sustained
and effective effort by the Pakistani
government against both al-Qaida and
Taliban forces on Pakistani soil.
An al-Qaida buildup in federally
administered tribal areas underscores
the need for Pakistan to “elevate its
efforts to fight the enemy,” said Burns,
the State Department’s point man for
Pakistan and India.
“Al-Qaida remains a potent force
inside Pakistan, as is the Taliban,” he
said. “Defeating these enemies is
essential to our effort to defeat terrorism in South Asia and around the
world.”
It looks like a classy, glamorous
pinup calendar -- and that’s the point.
But behind the pretty faces in Ireland’s “Beauty has no Boundaries”
calendar is a pointed social statement.
The 12 young women featured are all
Irish Travelers, members of a nomadic
culture that has inhabited the island
for centuries, nurturing a unique language and tradition on the outskirts
of a leery society. The calendar is an
attempt to depict Travelers as just
like the rest of the Irish population
— young, hopeful, undeserving of marginalization.
According to the 2006 census, an
estimated 22,435 Travelers currently
live in Ireland. Their culture is fiercely
clannish, committed strongly to family,
tradition and oral history. While Travelers speak English with an identifying lilt, they have also kept alive
their own language — Cant, or
Gammon, which is a mixture of
ancient Gaelic, English and other linguistic influences. And the Traveling
community has traditionally gotten a
bad rap. Non-Travelers — or “settled”
people — blame Travelers for crime,
scams and mayhem. Anyone who has
seen Brad Pitt’s role in the movie
“Snatch,” or has watched FX’s “The
Riches,” about a family of Irish-American Travelers, has seen the worst of
Traveler stereotypes: thieving, fighting,
conning.
Unbeknownst to most Americans,
Traveler communities exist in the U.S.,
with large settlements in Texas and
South Carolina -— presumably immigrants from Ireland’s mid-1800s potato
famine.

Blast subverts solidarity
Two suicide car bombings struck
soccer fans in Baghdad as they were
celebrating Iraq’s victory in the Asian
Cup semifinal on Wednesday, killing
at least 50 people and wounding more
than 100, officials said.
The victims were among the thousands of revelers who took to the
streets of the capital after the country’s
national soccer team beat South Korea
to reach the tournament’s final against
Saudi Arabia on Sunday in Jakarta,
Indonesia.
The first attack took place about
6:30 p.m. when a bomber exploded in
a crowd of people cheering near a
well-known ice cream parlor in
Baghdad’s western neighborhood of
Mansour, according to police and hospital officials. At least 30 people were
killed and 75 were wounded, an Interior Ministry official said.
Another suicide car bomber detonated his payload about 45 minutes
later in the midst of dozens of vehicles filled with revelers in the eastern
district of Ghadeer, killing at least 20
people, including two soldiers, and
wounding 61.

Tourist spots in Niigata would normally be looking forward to the peak
summer season at this time of year.
Instead, many are bracing for the
worst as visitors are staying away after
reports of radiation leaks from a
nuclear power plant in the prefecture.
About 48,000 reservations for
Japanese-style inns and hotels were
canceled in the five days after an
earthquake hit the area July 16,
according to the prefectural association of city mayors and association of
town and village mayors.
These areas are likely to face hard
times in the months ahead, despite
the tourism industry asserting they
are safe and the radioactive materials that leaked from the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant have no
harmful effects on humans.
According to the Kashiwazaki
tourist association, about 1 million of
the annual 3.8 million visitors to the
city head to its beaches. Beach pavilions offering shade or selling food
and drink are open as normal on the
city’s 15 swimming beaches, but virtually nobody is visiting them.

A powerful earthquake rocked
eastern Indonesia today, sending residents fleeing from swaying homes
and hospitals, authorities and witnesses said. There were no immediate
reports of damage.
The quake, which had a magnitude
of 6.9, triggered a tsunami warning
but the alert was quickly lifted after
it became clear no destructive waves
had been generated, the country’s geophysics agency said.
The earthquake struck under the
Maluku Sea at a depth of 20 miles,
the U.S. Geological Survey said on its
Web site. The quake’s epicenter was
more than 130 miles north of Ternate
island.
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago, is prone to seismic upheaval
due to its location on the so-called
Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the
Pacific Basin.
14. GERMANY
A sad farewell to U.S. Army
Sixty-two years after they arrived
in the medieval village of Buedingen
— and 17 years after it ceased to be
the front line in the Cold War — U.S.
troops are leaving and preparing to
hand their base back to the town.
The 640 soldiers in the 1st Squadron
of the U.S. Army’s 1st Cavalry Regiment will be gone by mid-August. Most
have already left, the latest in a rush
back to the States that’s seen American troop levels in Europe fall by
about one-third since 2005. The U.S.
also is shutting down bases this
summer in Gelnhausen, Darmstadt
and Hanau and a barracks in
Mannheim.
At a time when two-thirds of Germans view the U.S. unfavorably, it
sounds like perfect timing. That’s not
the view in Buedingen, however.
“I can’t think of a negative thing to
say about America,” said lifelong resident Ursula Schmueck, who helps
run a 1950s museum in town. “I don’t
know anyone who could. We all love
America here. I think that’s because
we know it. .. For decades after the
war, we went to sleep every night
thanking God the Americans were still
here, because if they’d pulled back
even a little ways, we would have been
under Soviet influence.”
15. ETHIOPIA
Without land in their holy land
The promised land of the world’s
Rastafarians can be found along a
narrow highway in Ethiopia’s ancient
Rift Valley, a landscape of scattered
trees with boles the size of houses
and fields of grain that shimmer in
the sunlight like a bronze haze. The
setting is beautiful — Edenic even.
But as with the original Eden, it isn’t
without its pitfalls.
“We’ve been waiting a long, long
time to become Ethiopians,” said
Desmond Martin, a Jamaican pioneer
who settled here more than 30 years
ago on land donated by Emperor
Haile Selassie. “We love Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is our holy land. But we’re
still not considered to be from this
place.”
Best known for their reggae music,
dreadlocked hair, colorful clothes and
copious marijuana smoking, the followers of the Rastafarian faith celebrated one of their major holidays
Monday, the birthday of Selassie, the
former Ethiopian ruler whom Rastas
worship as a black messiah. But in
Shashamane, a roadside town in
Ethiopia that the Rastafarians consider their Jerusalem, the festivities
were bittersweet.
Almost half a century after the first
12 Caribbean settlers migrated here,
advancing a Rastafarian dream that
the world’s African diaspora must
return to the spiritual motherland,
few if any Rastas have been granted
citizenship. Worse still, the pilgrims
lost more than 95 percent of their
imperial land grant during the 1970s,
when a socialist Ethiopian regime
confiscated all but 30 acres of their
holdings. Throw in assorted famines,
revolutions, official harassment, deep
local skepticism about the divinity of
Selassie and persistent suspicion of
their religious “herb” smoking, and
it is surprising that any still hang on.

3M earnings rise 3.9 percent
3M Co., the manufacturer of products
including Scotch tape and coatings for flatpanel televisions, said its second-quarter
profit rose 3.9 percent on strong performance across its businesses. It raised its guidance for the full year.
3M shares rose $1.48, or 1.5 percent, to
$91.10 in morning trading.
3M said it earned $917 million, or $1.25 per
share, during the quarter that ended June
30, up from $882 million, or $1.15 a share
during the same period last year. Revenue
rose to $6.14 billion, up 7.9 percent from $5.69
billion a year ago.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial
were expecting earnings of $1.18 per share on
sales of $6.05 billion.
3M said it now expects to earn $5.40 to
$5.60 per share for the full year including a
gain of 60 cents to 70 cents for special items,
up from its prior estimate of $5.20 to $5.45.
Analysts were expecting $4.86 per share.
Ford has best quarter in 2 years
Job cuts, slimmer losses in North America
and good sales overseas helped Ford Motor
Co. post surprise second-quarter earnings
today of $750 million, its first profitable
quarter in two years.
Ford’s second-quarter profit of 31 cents
per share compares with a net loss of $317
million, or 17 cents per share, in the same
quarter of last year.
The positive earnings, though, surprised
15 analysts polled by Thomson Financial
who expected the company to lose 35 cents
per share excluding special items.
The company attributed the gains to significant year-over-year improvement in all
of its automotive operations, and to cost cuts
due to restructuring and positive special
items that totaled $443 million. That includes
a $206 million gain related to sale of its Aston
Martin unit. Even its struggling North American division showed progress.
Exxon profit 4th-largest on record
Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, said today its
second-quarter profit fell 1 percent from a
year ago as lower natural gas prices hurt
results.
Still, the company’s net income of $10.26
billion was the fourth-largest quarterly profit
ever recorded by a publicly traded U.S. company. The latest profit compared with earnings of $10.36 billion in the second quarter of
2006.
On a per-share basis, Irving, Texas-based
Exxon Mobil reported earnings of $1.83 a
share in the most-recent quarter, up from
$1.72 from a year ago, reflecting fewer shares
on the market because of an ongoing stock
buyback program.
Revenue dipped to $98.35 billion from
$99.03 billion a year ago.
Parking costs up for 4th year
Finding a place to park your Pontiac is
getting pricier. Parking costs have increased
nationwide for the fourth year in a row,
according to a new survey.
Leading the U.S. for the most expensive
parking was midtown Manhattan, where the
median rate was $630 per month and the
high a whopping $925 per month.
Downtown Manhattan, Boston, San Francisco and Philadelphia, respectively, rounded
out the top five in the seventh annual survey
by real estate company Colliers International.
Among the least expensive cities were
Phoenix; Bakersfield, Calif.; and Reno, Nev.
Parking prices in the U.S. paled in comparison with monthly rates in international
cities such as London, where the average
monthly rate rings up at $1,198, and Tokyo, at
$702 per month, the study found.
With tight supply and ever-increasing
demand, “It’s highly unlikely that parking
rates would come down,” said Ross Moore,
director of market and economic research
for Colliers International. “I don’t think
there’s any relief in sight.”

New job regrets are common
Have you ever toiled to land a dream job,
then dreamed of leaving after your first week?
Many of us have regretted accepting a new
job, but if your second thoughts persist for
more than six months, it may not pay to stay.
Sticking it out with a job you hate could
cause your performance and attitude to suffer,
damaging your reputation and future job
prospects, according to John Challenger of
employment consultants Challenger, Gray &
Christmas.
Some of the most common reasons Challenger cites for regrets over a new position
are that the job differs from what the jobseeker
expected, or the new employee doesn’t get
along with co-workers or perform well.
To avoid winding up in the wrong job, Challenger offered the following tips:
Before starting your job search, identify
“must have” and “like to have” characteristics of the position you hope to land. Once you
receive an offer, evaluate how many of each
would likely be fulfilled. Don’t compromise
on “must haves.”
Avoid rushing to accept. Most companies
will give job candidates time to consider a job
offer.
Talk to friends and family about all aspects
of the position and solicit their honest opinions. They know you better than the hiring
manager who interviewed you.

Murphy Oil plans
major expansion
Associated Press
SUPERIOR, Wis. — Murphy
Oil Refinery is looking to
expand its 35,000 barrel-a-day
operation to 235,000 barrels,
more than 571 percent.
“We don’t have enough
refining capacity in this region,”
refinery manager Dave Podratz
said. “It’s one of the reasons
you’re seeing some of the
highest prices in the country
in the Midwest right now.”
Murphy’s plans are in the tentative stages in part because of
high steel prices and a lack of
skilled laborers. But Jeff Vito,
Superior’s planning director,
said the project would greatly
benefit the city.
“We’re talking a potential of
$6.2 billion investment,” Vito
said. “To put that in some perspective, the total value of the
city of Superior is about a billion-and-a-half dollars.”
Expanding the refinery could
create 400 new jobs directly,
and three times as many in the
area.
“These are the types of jobs
that really help build a community, and help sustain a community for the long term, and
really help elevate the quality
of life,” Vito said.
Another company, Hyperion
Resources Inc. of Dallas, is considering an $8 billion, 400,000barrel a day refinery in South
Dakota, but not everyone is so
sure the region needs more
refining capacity.
“Is building a new mega
refinery part of the direction
we should really be going?”
said Michael Noble, director
of the renewable energy advocacy group Fresh Energy. “I
think history will begin to raise
the question, ’Wasn’t 2005, 2010
about the time we should be
long moving toward a transition to better and smarter fuels
to run our economy?”’
Akshay Rao, a marketing professor at the University of Minnesota, said higher gas prices
might actually be better in the
long run.
“There is a fairly vocal and
persuasive argument that perhaps that is a good thing, and
perhaps the hidden costs of
cheap gas are not being taken
into account, including our
defense budget and climate
change,” Rao said. “And so the
more expensive gas gets, the
better off we are.”

ST. PAUL — Dozens of areas
at the Ford Motor Co. assembly
plant in St. Paul need to be
investigated for contamination
and possibly cleaned up,
according to a report by a consultant for the company.
The plant will close next
year, and the property is considered a prime area for redevelopment. The need for
cleanup raises concerns about
whether the land’s future use
could be restricted.
Cecile Bedor, director of the
city’s planning and economic
department, said cleanup is
Ford’s responsibility.
“I think everyone out there
is assuming the site is highly
contaminated,” she said. “I
don’t think it will scare (developers). It will require significant resources.”
The consultant’s report lists
several sites on the 138-acre
Ford property that need to be
checked. Forty are listed as
likely to have been contaminated with solvents and other
industrial chemicals, 34 are
areas of possible contamination, and seven sites that were
once excavated to remove pollution may need additional
cleanup.
The sites include: a Little
League baseball diamond on
Cleveland Avenue that may
have been used to dispose of
battery casings; former sludge
pits where paints and solvents
were stored; and areas where
storage tanks above and below
ground held hazardous chemi-

EDITORIAL
Ethanol can’t meet all our alternative fuel needs
Seven years ago, there were 54 ethanol plants
in America, with a production capacity of 1.7 billion gallons per year. Today, there are 119 plants
nationwide, with another 86 under construction or being expanded. Annual production
capacity could top 10 billion gallons next year.
No matter how you crunch the numbers, that’s
extraordinary growth for an industry that’s
become the rising star in our national quest
to “go green” with biofuels. Minnesota is right
in the thick of things, with 20 corn-based plants
in operation and more in the planning stage.
But there’s a reckoning ahead.
For decades, as better machinery, plant
genetics and herbicides increased corn yields,
farmers didn’t exactly cash in. Increasing supply
while demand remained largely stagnant kept
corn prices in the neighborhood of $2 per bushel
as recently as December 2005.
Thirteen months later, fueled by the ethanol
market, prices topped $4, and farmers
responded this year by planting nearly 93 million acres of corn, the most since 1944. Land
values and cash rental rates for farmland are
soaring, and many small communities near
ethanol plants are experiencing an unprecedented economic boom.
Some farmers, however, are feeling a financial pinch, and therein lies the problem. Beef
cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, turkeys and chickens
eat corn — as well as hay, soybeans and other
agricultural products that are being squeezed
off land in favor of corn.
It takes time, but rising feed costs eventually translate into higher prices at the supermarket. Milk is a prime example, with some
analysts predicting prices of $5 per gallon by
September. Beef, pork and poultry prices aren’t
rising quite as rapidly, but they’ll catch up. The
corn needed to produce a market-ready hog
today costs $20 more than it did three years
ago, and a portion of that cost, if not all of it,
eventually will be passed on to consumers.
The trade-off of renewable fuel in exchange
for higher food costs might be a fair deal, but
only for the short term, and only as part of a
much bigger effort to end America’s dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels in general.
The simple fact is, ethanol can’t do it alone.
Even if every kernel of American-grown corn
were turned into ethanol, it would provide less
than 15 percent of our annual fuel consumption. Furthermore, raising corn year after year
on the same land without crop rotation requires
constant fertilization, which not only is expensive but also creates its own environmental
concerns.
Does this mean people shouldn’t feel good
about driving E-85 vehicles? Not at all. Doing
so demonstrates an awareness of the need to
change.
Still, the fact remains that other, more sustainable options such as hybrid technology,
hydrogen fuel cells and super-efficient diesel
engines should surpass ethanol in the race to
have vehicles on America’s roadways go farther, use less energy and produce less pollution.
At the moment it’s a one-horse race — and a
corn-fed horse at that. Only time will tell if the
ethanol industry will flourish or flounder on
that diet.

Anonymous ‘occult hand’ in Iraq
There’s need to cast a spell —
Harry’s secret is safe with me
Harry Potter dies in the new
book.
It’s tragic, really. Accidental
cauldron explosion. Eye of newt
and wing of bat everywhere.
He gets impaled by a flying
dragon snout. His last word is:
“Rosebud.”
OK, I made that up. Please stop shrieking
now. And for heaven’s sake, don’t cancel your
subscription. We only have 17 subscribers left
and there’s a rumor that if we lose one more, it’ll
be the end of free soap in the lavatories.
For the record, as these words are written,
the fate of the young wizard warrior remains a
closely shrouded secret. Of course, by the time
you read them, his fate might be on the Jumbotron in Times Square. Secrets are perishable
these days.
Blame an omnipresent and infotainmentbesotted media megaplex. Or blame so-called citizen journalists who don’t play by the same
rules of non-disclosure that used to bind plain
old journalists. Whoever you blame, just know
that it is increasingly the case that one cannot
choose not to know ... plotlines, scandals, infidelities, whatever.
Assuming you don’t own a sensory deprivation tank, the knowledge will find you, whether
you want it to or not.
Here is the sum of my Harry Potter experience: I read half the first book and struggled
to stay awake through the first movie. Yet
somehow, without trying, without wanting to
know, without visiting any Harry Potter Web
sites, clicking any Harry Potter links or watching
a single episode of “Access Hollywood,” I have
learned that” Harry Potter and the ‘Deathly
Hallows” is the seventh book in the series, it
was released at a minute past midnight on Saturday, it’s the last book in the series and it’s
expected to chronicle the deaths of two characters, one of whom may be Harry.
I couldn’t even tell you where I learned all
this, just that it’s been pounded into my disinterested head to the point where I feel like I’ve
always known it. Such is life in the era of viral
knowledge.
My personal gag reflex was triggered when

advice from talking heads, on
how to help your children cope
if Harry is killed. Beg pardon,
but I seem to recall that a previous generation of children saw Bambi’s mother
killed by the hunter without the need for grief
counselors standing by.
And if you think the point is, what prissy
wimps we have become, well, yes. But it’s also
this: Shouldn’t you be able to safely peruse the
health section without being ambushed by Harry
Potter “news”?
You think I hate Harry, don’t you? To the contrary, I echo word nerds everywhere: Anything
that gets young people reading and turns writers
into billionaire rock stars is fine with me. What
I hate is seeing Harry in the health section
absent news that reading his books cures — or
causes — disease. What I hate — OK, what I am
mildly irked by — is that media, both traditional and “new,” have grown so inescapable
that it’s almost impossible to opt out of undesired knowledge.
And no one should be more upset about that
than those who are wild about Harry. If it were
still possible to opt out of knowledge, author
J.K. Rowling would not have felt it necessary
to ask people not to divulge the ending of her
book and one of my co-workers would not have
sent around the following e-note: “I BEG of you
all, please do NOT spoil Harry Potter!”
Remember when “The Crying Game” came
out in 1992? Remember “The Sixth Sense” in
1999? Remember how those who had seen them
conspired for weeks to keep their secrets safe
for those who had not?
It’s hard to imagine such things happening
in the era of viral knowledge and that’s kind of
sad.
By the way, I checked, and sensory deprivation tanks start at $7,300. Just something to keep
in mind.

Hoorah for our firemen!
I absolutely have to write on behalf of
our firefighters to thank them for their
excellent work in caring for all the residents of Northgate Plaza on Sunday
morning, July 15. There was a fire in a
third floor apartment about 8:30 a.m. These
men are so well trained, so polite and
knowledgeable, it makes me proud to be
able to say they are our Rochester firefighters!
These men helped us walk, they gave us
blankets to wrap up in, as the wind was
chilly. And when they asked us to move,
they were so kind and considerate.
Also, I’d like to mention that our
Rochester firefighters are fully supplied
with the very best and newest equipment.
They all go about their duties with such
efficiency.
Let us never ever complain about the
cost of keeping our up-to-date fire departments here in Rochester.

Crews battle two residential fires
By Janice Gregorson
Fires at opposite ends of Rochester on
Wednesday night resulted in extensive
damage to a house and prompted an arson
investigation into an apartment complex
fire.
Fire Marshal Vance Swisher said the
fire calls came in within five minutes of
each other, and every on-duty firefighter in
Rochester was called out.
The first fire was at a home at 3737 Gala
Lane N.W. and resulted in an estimated
$110,000 damage to the house, owned by
Jim Ratz. The 42-year-old owner was home
and was alerted to the fire by neighbors,
who called 911 at 10:23 p.m. Swisher said
that the fire was in the attic and that almost
the entire ceiling had to be pulled out to
get to the fire, believed caused by a faulty
bathroom vent.
One firefighter, Mike Bjoraker, suffered
heat exhaustion and was taken to Saint
Marys Hospital by ambulance. He was
released early today.
Because of the heat, firefighters rotated
through a rehab trailer to cool down and
for hydration.
Crews remained at the scene for about
two hours but had to return early today
when the fire rekindled.
At 10:26 p.m., firefighters were called to
Trail Ridge Apartments at 875 21st Ave.
S.E., where tenants discovered smoke in a
third-floor apartment. Swisher said one
or two tenants used fire extinguishers to
keep the fire at bay until firefighters
arrived.
Swisher said the fire has been ruled an
arson. It was found in a living room closet
in unit 309. The apartment is vacant. The
tenants who had been trying to put out
the fire were not around when firefighters
responded. Swisher said two used fire
extinguishers were on the floor near the
door to the apartment.
A sprinkler had gone off in the living
room. Swisher said that three sprinkler
heads closest to the origin point of the fire
were corroded and not working. Swisher
said there was water damage to two apartments below the one where the fire
occurred. Only one of those units is occupied. No loss estimate is available.

Originally developed
for the military, GPS
technology has been
introduced into the
agricultural industry
By Janet Kubat Willette
jkubat@agrinews.com
ELGIN — A tractor that
drove itself was the star of
last week’s Zumbro Watershed
Partnership field day.
It was one of many new
devices that reflect the rapid
advance of technology-based
precision agriculture in the
past 10 years.
Ag Leader Insight, which
uses global positioning system
technology to pinpoint its location, can be installed in four
hours in any tractor with
hydraulics.
The first time a farmer
drives the tractor over a field,
the exact route is recorded in
the system’s memory, said
Travis Routh of L&D Ag Service. The system will remember the field from season to
season and will follow the
same path across the field
from year to year.
Auto-steer technology allows
farmers to sit in the cab for
longer hours with less fatigue,
he said. They can eke out a
few more hours a day.
“We sell quite a few of
them,” Routh said.
The screen warns of sharp
turns approaching and produces yield maps for each
acre.
The GPS that is essential for
auto-steering and precision
fertilizer application was
developed by the government
Janet Kubat Willette/Agri News
The 10-year-old Cat Challenger, pictured above, uses a global positioning system and auto-steer technology.
for national defense, said Ted
Thisius of L&D Ag Service.
Now, it’s available to everyone. The same technology that
guides fishermen and hikers is
guiding tractors and keeping
track of yields and fertilizers
to help farmers manage their
fields more precisely.
For instance, another new
device at the field day was
Greenseeker, which applies
nitrogen fertilizer based on
the readings of a plant’s
chlorophyll.
The sensors are placed on
the boom of agricultural
equipment, said Jack Gerhardt
of Redball. As the boom passes over plants, the sensors
take hundreds of readings per
second, creating a boom average and adjusting the amount
of nitrogen delivered.
The chlorophyll readings
determine if more nitrogen is
needed.
“Let’s let the plant be the
barometer,” Gerhardt said.
Gerhardt, who farms with
his brother Dick near Fairmont, is in his third season of
using Greenseeker.
They sought out the technology to better utilize their hog
manure in the face of rising
commercial fertilizer prices.
“We have a large number of
hog buildings located around
our farm operation, so we
depend on hog manure,” Gerhardt said.
Hog manure is the primary
source of nitrogen on a number of their crop acres, and
Greenseeker allows them to
address the nitrogen variability that exists when using
manure.
Longtime Rochester Farmers Market vendor created sense of community
By Matt Russell
With a combination of friendliness and flowers, Alberta Roberson
helped create a sense of community in Rochester.
A longtime vendor at the Downtown Rochester Farmers Market,
Roberson had a warm smile and
was a mentor to others at the
market, said fellow vendor Deb
Fendry.
“She was kind of an icon at the
market,” said former market manager Jennifer Nelson.
ZUMBRO FALLS — With a sweet
swing, Lindsay Krahn drove the
softball between two Lake City outfielders who chased it toward the
fence.
Krahn dashed around the bases
and was waved home from third —
an in-the-park home run for the
Zumbro Falls girls team.
“That was a good hit,” Raymond
Schwirtz yelled. Then the rural
Hammond man watched the next
hitter, yelling encouragement and
advice. Between innings, he would
swing his wheelchair around to talk
with friends about sports or ATVs.
Schwirtz was in his glory Monday
watching the sport he loves, with
his son, Brandon, umping, and
many of the girls he coached when
they were younger on the field for
both teams.
Such games are important for
small towns, he said. It gives them
identities. “It’s free entertainment,
it don’t get much better than that,”
Schwirtz said. “It’s better than going
to the Twins, you don’t have that
long drive. You have your own
home town talent here.”
But Schwirtz, 53, admits he’d love
to still be on the field umping, running down the first-base line to call
a close play. “I miss walking, I miss
running the most,” he said. But he
was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a few years ago and pretty
much needs the chair to get around.
He got to know many of the young
women on the team, ages 19 to early
30s, when he coached at Hammond
from 1982 to 1995. The team didn’t
have enough boys or girls for separate teams, so they played co-ed.
REMEMBRANCE
Roberson, 77, of rural Zumbro
Falls, died July 14 at her home.
Alberta Jean Schultz was born
March 27, 1930, in Minneapolis. She
graduated from Lake City High
School in 1947 before attending
nursing school in Rochester and
marrying David Roberson in Lake
City in 1948.
The couple farmed their entire
married life in the Zumbro Falls
area, working land that was in
David Roberson’s family since
before the Civil War, according to
BACK
Baird Roberson of rural Zumbro
Falls, 51, one of the couple’s four
children.
The family also operated a business called Roberson Lime & Rock
Inc. before Alberta built the small
greenhouse that later took her to
the farmers market.
“Mother built a little greenhouse;
she had these plants in the house,
and she wanted to do more,” Baird
Roberson recalled. “And so they

Raymond Schwirtz of rural Hammond cheers on the Zumbro Falls
girls softball team Monday evening. Though needing a wheelchair
to get around, he still goes to games to see girls he once
coached.
“Sometimes we barely had enough
to play,” he said. “Sometimes, you
had to go and get them.”
He coached and drove players to
games, and even picked some up,
because “otherwise, if you don’t do
it, the kids get in trouble.” For him,
it’s that simple.
When he worked at Crenlo in
Rochester, he began to feel
exhausted by noon when it was hot.
In 2003, he was diagnosed with MS.
a roof on it.”
Roberson said his mother and
father loved to travel and went to
several places in the U.S. before
heading to destinations including
Egypt, Europe, Israel, India, New
Zealand, China and Mexico.
“They knew people all around
the world,” Roberson said.
Back at home, Alberta Roberson
was a person who was dedicated
to her family.
“Whatever she did was with
love,” Baird Roberson said. “I think
she just loved life, and loved being
in a greenhouse, and loved being
with my dad with all her heart.”
“I didn’t even know how to spell
multiple sclerosis,” Schwirtz said.
He quit umpiring, letting his son
take over, not that he’s happy about
it. “I wish I was umping the game,”
he said. “I’ve even thought about
going out there in my wheelchair. A
guy could get hurt but what’s the
worst that could happen? You get
hit on the head with a ball.” If his
son couldn’t make it, Schwirtz said
he’d wheel onto the field and ump.
Brandon was there so his dad sat
near the bleachers in his wheelchair, still coaching.
“One out!,” he yelled.
“Come on Mickel, good level
swing,” he called out to Mickel
Domke.
When it was over, the Zumbro
Falls team beat Lake City 14-8, and
some Zumbro Falls players sat near
Schwirtz, changing shoes, maybe
sipping a beer. “Good game, girls,”
he said.
One was Katie Luhmann of
Zumbro Falls who hit two homers.
“It’s always nice to have fans to
come and cheer us on in the good
and bad moments,” she said.
Schwirtz coached her in fastpitch at
Lake City when she was in seventh
and eighth grade. “He knows what
he’s doing, that’s for sure,” she said.
But does she listen to all the
advice he calls out?
“Most of the time,” she said.

Coleman: Don’t fund
human rights group
By Frederic J. Frommer
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen.
Norm Coleman is pushing for
the United States to cut off
funding for the U.N. Human
Rights Council, saying the
watchdog group’s focus on
Israel and failure to investigate other countries made it
a “disaster.”
Coleman, a Minnesota
Republican and congressional
delegate to the United
Nations, said Wednesday the
council “has essentially one
issue on its agenda — Israel.
You’ve got countries like North
Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe
where you have state-sponsored brutality, and what we
have is deafening silence.”
A Senate Foreign Relations
Committee panel will take up
the Human Rights Council’s
performance at a hearing
Thursday. The committee last
month approved legislation
Coleman proposed to end U.S.
funding of the council. The
House last month approved
similar legislation by Rep.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.
Coleman, who along with
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.,
represents Congress in the
U.S. delegation to the U.N., is
a longtime critic of the U.N.
Boxer also supported the
funding cut off when the Foreign Relations Committee
approved the bill.
The council, based in
Geneva, was created in March
2006 to replace the widely discredited Human Rights Commission. Last month, the new
body angered the United
States by continuing its
scrutiny of Israel while halting
investigations into Cuba and
Belarus.
A U.N. official declined to
comment on the legislation.
On the question of the
council’s actions, he referred
to a statement made last
month by U.N. spokeswoman
Michele Montas, who said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
was disappointed at the
council’s decision to “single
•
•
out only one specific regional
item.” That was a reference
to keeping Israel under investigation.
Coleman conceded his bill
was more about symbolism
than pulling the plug on the
council’s operations. The U.S.
share of the council budget is
only around $3 million, and
the bill would allow the president to ignore the funding cut
if he deemed it wasn’t in the
national interest.
“It’s not a lot of money,” he
said. “This is a statement
about the concerns we have
about the Human Rights
Council.”
The State Department
declined to comment on
Coleman’s push to cut off U.S.
financial support for the
council.
But Assistant Secretary of
State Kristen Silverberg called
the council’s first year “a grave
disappointment. Member
states abandoned their responsibility to defend suffering
people in countries such as
Sudan, Burma, Zimbabwe, and
Cuba and instead devoted
their energies to attacking
Israel.”
Coleman, who is Jewish,
said that his religion did give
him a greater sensitivity on
the issue.
“On the other hand, my colleagues who aren’t Jewish are
concerned about this,” he said.
“The American-Israel relationship is not of concern just
to Jews. And the failure to
focus on Burma, Belarus,
North Korea and Zimbabwe
is not a Jewish concern, it’s
an international concern.”
Coleman said his effort
should not be construed as
U.N.-bashing.
“The fact that this passed
unanimously in the Foreign
Relations Committee would
fly in the face of that,” he said.
“I have always stated that we
need the United Nations to
be effective, we need it to be
credible, we need it to be
transparent.”

MINNEAPOLIS — Things
turned ugly the last time utilities strung high-voltage power
lines across Minnesota in a
major way.
Protesters covered themselves with pig manure, armed
themselves with baseball bats,
put ammonia fertilizer on state
troopers and lined up to get
arrested. Fifteen transmission
towers near Lowry and Sauk
Centre were toppled in 1978.
But the power lines went up
anyway.
A consortium made up of
Xcel Energy Inc. and 10 other
utilities in Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Iowa and Wisconsin
is preparing for what they
hope will be a milder public
reaction this time around.
The group is mailing 73,000
letters
this
week
to
landowners that outline the
first major power transmission
project in Minnesota in more
than 25 years. Called CapX
2020, it would crisscross Minnesota with about 650 miles of
new high-voltage lines.
“We’re designing this to be
the most open process ever
for a transmission project,”
said Laura McCarten, an Xcel
executive who is co-executive
director of CapX 2020.
It would cost $1.3 billion to
$1.6 billion project and be
completed in 2014, and would
be the first of a number of
power grid expansions that
will cost billions more in the
years ahead.
George Crocker, who fought
the project of the 1970s and is
critic of the latest proposal,
said he expects public opposition again — with a difference.
“Instead of the tension being
out in the field, the tension
will be in the hearing room,
in putting the facts on the
table,” said Crocker, executive
director of the North American Water Office, an environmental group based in
Lake Elmo. “I think it’s a certainty that there won’t be the
response that we had in 1978,”
he said, adding, “We’ll see if
the system is able to be fair.”
Crocker said stringing lowervoltage lines short distances
from wind turbines scattered
across the state would be
cheaper and simpler to implement. Xcel Energy officials
dispute that.
Consumer demand for electricity in Minnesota has doubled since 1980. The utilities
say that in 2006, the average
home had 26 electronic
devices, from high-definition
TVs and DVD players to digital cameras and cordless
phones. In 1975, a typical home
had two or fewer.
The proposed transmission
lines will add capacity to carry
4,000 to 6,000 more megawatts,
enough electricity to power 4
million to 6 million homes.
Peak demand now is about
20,000 megawatts.
The utilities also argue that
they need more transmission
capacity to meet the demand
in urban areas for alternative
sources of energy, such as
wind turbines on the breezy
bluffs of southwestern Minnesota.
They don’t expect the new
lines will cross the property
of all 73,000 landowners who
receive notice. All owners of
land within a dozen miles of
potential routes will be notified, but exact routes won’t be
set for months.
Many opponents of transmission expansion in the 1970s
were motivated by fears that
electrical “leakage” from highvoltage power lines would hurt
people or animals. However,
a number of scientific studies
found no link between the
lines and illness. Some opponents were also motivated by
property rights, opposing the
seizure of land for transmission lines.
But the utilities this time
point to a 150-mile transmission line expansion underway
in southwest Minnesota, where
just eight of 390 parcels in the
path of the lines have ended
up in condemnation proceedings. “We expect to settle six,”
Xcel spokeswoman Mary
Sandok said.
Landowners in the path usually receive a one-time payment in compensation. After
the lines go up, livestock and
farm equipment simply go
around the towers, which are
120 to 150 feet high and spaced
600 to 1,000 feet apart.
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission will hold
hearings over the next couple
of years to decide if CapX2020
is needed, and the PUC must
approve the proposed routes.
The Minnesota Department of
Commerce also will seek
public comment and prepare
an environmental report.

ROSEVILLE, Minn. — The
Parker Hughes Cancer Center
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Wednesday as a federal judge approved the clinic’s
plan to end several leases and
repay its debts.
The Roseville clinic filed for
bankruptcy protection in January after it lost business as a
result of an ongoing investigation by the Minnesota Board
of Medical Practice, said Alan
Eidsness, the clinic’s lawyer.
The clinic, which has about
300 patients, remained open
throughout the bankruptcy proceedings.
The medical license of the
clinic’s founder, Dr. Fatih
Uckun, was suspended in January 2006 for what the Medical
Board called unethical, unprofessional and “professionally
incompetent” behavior.
Uckun appealed, and an
administrative law judge recommended lifting the suspension in May. That case, separate from the bankruptcy proceeding, is still pending.
Power line debate
A consortium of
regional utilities has
proposed CapX2020, an
expansion of the highvoltage electrical transmission system in
Minnesota and neighboring states.
The first group of projects is made up of three
proposed 345-kilovolt
transmission lines, one
230-kV line and associated substations. These
projects include:
• A 230-mile, 345-kV
line between the Brookings, S.D., area and the
southeast Twin Cities.
• A 250-mile, 345-kV
line between Fargo, N.D.,
and Monticello, Minn.
• A 150-mile, 345-kV
line between the
southeast Twin Cities and
Rochester, continuing to
La Crosse, Wis..
• A 68-mile, 230-kV
line between Bemidji and
Grand Rapids in
north-central Minnesota.
Along with Xcel Energy
of Minneapolis; Great
River Energy of Elk River,
Minn., and Otter Tail
Power Co. of Fergus
Falls, Minn., utilities or
groups that expect to
participate in one or
more of the CapX2020
projects include:
• Dairyland Power
Cooperative of La Crosse,

• Midwest Municipal
Transmission Group of
Des Moines, Iowa.

29 indicted after Duluth-area drug investigation
Associated Press
DULUTH — A two-year
undercover operation in the
Duluth area has resulted in
the indictment of 29 people on
federal cocaine trafficking
charges, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Rachel Paulose said
Wednesday.
The investigation was part
of an effort to root out dealers
who have fled big cities for
more anonymous markets,
Paulose said.
Last month, 14 people were
indicted in an alleged ring in
the Faribault area. The two
indictments signal that “drug
dealers who think they can
avoid federal prosecution by
setting up shop in greater Minnesota are mistaken,” Paulose
said.
Paulose traveled to Duluth
to stand alongside local officers for the announcement.
She said that 25 of the 29
Duluth-area defendants named
in last week’s indictment were
taken into custody without incident Tuesday in a coordinated
effort by about 100 officers
from several agencies.
Four still are being sought,
and three of those are believed
to be outside Minnesota, said
Bernard Zapor, an agent with
the federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The defendants were to be
arraigned this week in U.S.
District Court in Minneapolis.
Bernard Vann, 41, a downtown Duluth store owner who
went by the nickname of
“Mooch,” is accused in the 69count indictment of leading
and supplying a drug ring that
included more than 30 dealers.
Officials estimated that the
ring sold 40 to 60 kilograms of
cocaine and crack cocaine in
the area of Duluth and neighboring Superior, Wis., over the
past three years, making it one
of the largest illegal drug operations ever to be dismantled
in the region.
“It will have a huge ripple
effect on the drug market in
this area,” said Duluth Police
Chief Gordon Ramsay, whose
department supplied two of
the three principal officers
involved in breaking up the
ring through controlled, undercover purchases of drugs.

Campfires, charcoal or woodburning camp stoves will be
allowed only between 7 p.m.
and midnight in the area where
a severe windstorm knocked
down millions of trees in July
1999, leaving behind a lot of
dead wood.
Much of the area remains

Comedian Franken wants to be taken seriously
By Patrick Condon
Associated Press
OTSEGO, Minn. — Al
Franken’s campaign SUV is sitting in a long line of cars at a
stoplight when his driver spots
a Dairy Queen, one of the candidate’s favorite stops. Problem
is, getting there quickly requires
a right turn from the left lane of
traffic.
Franken sticks his head out
the front passenger window to
get the attention of the driver a
car length behind his in the
right lane. She rolls down her
window, and her face breaks
into a wide grin.
“You’re Al Franken!” she
shouts.
“Can we get over?” Franken
shouts in reply, and she happily waves him across. A few
minutes later, snacking on a
vanilla cone, Franken laughs
as he refers to the incident as
“the Al Franken advantage.”
Al Franken is not your typical candidate for U.S. Senate.
A full 16 months before the 2008
election, at a time when most
challengers would still be struggling to build name recognition,
the former “Saturday Night
Live” performer is recognized
everywhere he goes.
But having a famous name
and face cuts both ways for
Franken. Even as his celebrity
draws crowds and attention, he
must convince Democratic
activists in every corner of the
state that he’s more than just a
liberal funnyman — that he also
has the seriousness and substance to successfully take on
Republican Sen. Norm
Coleman next year.
To do that, Franken is going
through the paces of any fledgling candidate, crisscrossing the
state and schmoozing Democratic activists at as many party
gatherings and parades as he
can.
Last Saturday, Franken was
on the trail by 8:30 a.m., hitting
a community parade in St. Paul,
an academic conference, three
Democratic picnics, and an
open house for his new campaign headquarters in St. Paul,
all in about 13 hours.
Franken is trying to reach
people like Gene Persha, a
retired teacher from Edina, who
said he’s leaning toward Mike
Ciresi, Franken’s main rival for
the Democratic endorsement.
“He’s a comedian, and his
background is only tangentially
political,” said Persha, who
watched Franken speak at an
annual picnic of Democratic
activists in the upperclass Minneapolis suburb of Edina.
Ciresi, a lawyer who helmed
Minnesota’s successful lawsuit
against Big Tobacco nearly a
decade ago, “has a better background for this kind of thing,”
Persha said.
But for every Persha, there’s
a Deborah Foster. The Cottage
Grove woman, who counsels
underprivileged college students, chatted with Franken as
he worked the St. Paul parade
crowd.
“I wanted to meet him
because I loved Stuart Smalley,”
Foster said, referring to
Franken’s most memorable
“Saturday Night Live” character, a pathetically needy selfhelp guru. “But you know, he
seemed genuine and sincere
and interested in me, too. And
a sense of humor always helps.”
Franken, who grew up in
Minnesota and moved back in
2005 after living in New York
for many years, can take heart
that Minnesotans aren’t afraid
to elect colorful celebrities, with
former Gov. Jesse Ventura as
Exhibit A.
But Republicans have tried
to hold some of Franken’s more
barbed jokes against him, such
as when he referred to Coleman
as “one of the administration’s
leading butt-boys,” or his prediction on David Letterman’s
show that White House aides
Karl Rove and Scooter Libby
would be executed.
“Most people get the joke,
except for the people who are
invested in not getting the joke,”
Franken told the group of academics. “Because to not get a
joke means they would have to
give up the right to their indignation.”
When he worked at “Saturday Night Live,” Franken
said, he was often the go-to guy
for political sketches.
“I was a satirist,” Franken
explained to Democrats at a
picnic in Chaska, about 30 miles
southwest of Minneapolis. “Let
me tell you what a satirist does.
A satirist points out hypocrisy,
inconsistencies and absurdities, and reveals them. Let me
tell you, Norm Coleman doesn’t
want to debate me.”
Indeed, Franken on the campaign trail seems unafraid to
show his sarcastic side.
At the parade in St. Paul, he
told the Franken volunteer
marchers: “If you have to go to
the bathroom, use a Port-aPotty, please!”
Later that day, at the party
picnic in Otsego, a small town
about 35 miles northwest of
Minneapolis, the 56-year-old
Franken laughed when an
older Democratic-Farmer-Labor

every corner of Minnesota that he’s more than just a
funnyman.
activist handed him a button
that read, “DFL Senior
Caucus.”
“This is just the kind of
youthful look I’m going for,”
Franken told her as he pinned
it to his shirt. A few minutes
later, Franken noted his wife’s
absence, which happened to be
on the day that President Bush
underwent a colonoscopy and
temporarily transferred power
to Dick Cheney.
“She couldn’t be here today,”
Franken said. “When Vice President Cheney was president for
two hours, he had her arrested.”
On the stump, Franken rarely
talks about his Democratic
rivals, which include Ciresi, as
well as lawyer/activist Jim
Cohen and perennial candidate
Dick Franson. Instead he
focuses his attacks on Coleman,
who he portrays as a “lapdog”
for the president.
Al Franken may be the biggest name in the Democratic field, but he has some serious competition from
these announced and potential candidates:
Announced
• Mike Ciresi: Trial lawyer who litigated Minnesota’s
successful lawsuit against Big Tobacco in 1998.
Announced his candidacy shortly after Franken. The two
are seen as the top contenders for the Democratic
Party endorsement.
• Jim Cohen: Attorney, environmental activist and
community organizer. Previous electoral experience is an
unsuccessful run for Congress in Connecticut in 1986.
• Dick Franson: Has ran underfunded races for most
of Minnesota’s statewide posts at one point or another.
Potential
• Peter Agre: A 2003 Nobel laureate in chemistry.
Administrator at Duke University. A Minnesota native,
Agre is spending part of his summer in his home state
gauging whether he can muster interest and support in
a Senate candidacy.
• Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer: Professor of peace and justice studies at the University of St. Thomas.
— Associated Press
Cullen Sheehan, spokesman
for the Coleman campaign,
rejected Franken’s contention
that the senator has been too
closely aligned with President
Bush.
“I think that, while the senator has a strong relationship
with the president, he’s been a
strong independent voice for
Minnesota,” Sheehan said. “He’s
not afraid to disagree with the
president when it’s been in the
best interest of the state.”
Sheehan noted Coleman’s
votes against oil drilling in the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
as one high-profile divergence
with Bush.
Between April and June,
Franken raised $1.9 million,
eclipsing Ciresi’s $750,000 and
exceeding Coleman’s haul by
more than $200,000. Coleman
still holds a considerable lead
in the amount of campaign
money in the bank.

Plaque honoring
victims added to
crash-site memorial
Associated Press
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — On the
18th anniversary of the crash
of United Airlines Flight 232,
more than 200 people recently
gathered at the Spirit of Siouxland Memorial.
Mayor Craig Berenstein
unveiled a plaque honoring the
victims and commemorating
those who responded to the
crash. The plaque was donated
by the Greater Sioux City Press
Club.
It was placed near the 7-foottall bronze statue made by
South Dakota sculptor Dale
Lamphere. The statue depicts
then-Lt. Col. Dennis Nielsen of
the 185th Fighter Wing, Iowa
Air National Guard, carrying
an unconscious 3-year-old
Spencer Bailey of Colorado
from the DC-10 wreckage on
July 19, 1989.
The statue is based on a photograph taken by former Sioux
City Journal photographer Gary
Anderson that was published
around the world.
The names of Lamphere,
Nielsen, Bailey and Anderson
were not previously noted at
the memorial site — an oversight that needed to be corrected, according to Kristie VerMulm, KTIV-TV news co-anchor
and former press club president. Eighteen years after the
crash, many local residents and
visitors do not know what took
place in the aftermath or even
that Bailey and Nielsen were
real people.
Not until she brought her
own children to the memorial
did she realize the need for the

plaque.
“My daughter, who was just
7 at the time, turned to me and
said, ’Mommy, did that baby
die?”’ said VerMulm, her voice
breaking. “And in one of those
parental moments, I explained
to her, as much as you can to a
7-year-old, what had happened
that day in 1989.”
VerMulm said she’s aware of
the photograph and story
involving the 3-year-old child
freed from his seat, carried out
of the cornfield by a rescuer
and handed off to a fighter pilot
in the 185th.
“But how many in this community don’t know the story?”
she said.
Spencer Bailey, now a 21year-old college student in
Pennsylvania, is one of 184 who
survived the crash. A total of
112 people died when United
232, en route from Denver to
Chicago, crashed while trying
to make an emergency landing
at Sioux Gateway Airport.
Press club members read letters from Nielsen, now living
in North Carolina, and Bailey,
who could not be on hand.
But VerMulm emphasized
that the plaque was not the
idea of anyone involved in the
crash or rescue efforts.
“In fact, they want this community to understand that they
are not seeking recognition of
any kind,” she said. “But many
from this community who
played key roles in this event
and the events that unfolded
in 1989 felt it was time to put
the names on this memorial.”

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
July 26
jfeldman@postbulletin.com
As Brett Lindgren sat down to
be interviewed after Wednesday’s
game, he dropped his hat on a
table, hung his head for a moment
and ran a hand through his hair.
He summed up his feelings with
one word: frustration.
The Rochester Honkers’ manager,
and his players, were left scratching
their heads again after a 5-4 Northwoods League loss to St. Cloud at
Mayo Field.
It was the Honkers’ second consecutive loss by one run and their
13th one-run loss in 51 games this
season.
“It’s been tough the past few
games,” Lindgren said. “We’re bat-
tling; we’re getting runners in
scoring position, but we haven’t had
that one hit to get us over the
hump.”
Rochester’s playoff hopes aren’t
gone. But with 17 games left to
make up a 3 1⁄2-game deficit to
Duluth, the Honkers (7-10 second
half, 25-26 overall) need to find
more consistency in all aspects of
the game.
Tuesday’s game summed up that
need for consistency. The Honkers
were set down in order four times,
they committed three errors, and
their pitchers combined to walk
nine batters and hit two.
“We need to learn to come out
and be ready to play right away,”
Lindgren said. “We have to be mentally there for nine innings.”
Despite some early troubles, the
Honkers managed to remain in
striking distance in the late innings.
They trailed 5-1 going into the sev-
enth inning, then rallied for three
runs with two outs.
Aaron Senne, who scored the
Honkers’ first run in the sixth
inning, worked out a bases-loaded
walk after falling behind 0-2. That
plated Derek Norris to cut St.
Cloud’s lead to 5-2. Brian Spear followed with an opposite-field single,
scoring Jacob Spaeth and Sam
Testa.
That’s when St. Cloud turned to
Ryan Wrobel, its all-star closer.
Wrobel shut the door on the
Honkers, striking out four batters in
two innings and not allowing a base
runner. It was his 14th save of the
season.
“The guys are trying, they’re frustrated,” Lindgren said. “They’re not
getting results for all of the work
they’ve been putting in.”
St. Cloud scored the game-winning run in the seventh when Steve
Cochrane led off with a double, and
1952 — Bob Mathias wins his second
Olympic decathlon in Helsinki, Finland.
1997 – Brett Favre, the two-time NFL MVP
has signed a new seven-year deal, reportedly worth between $42 and $48 million with
a $12 million signing bonus.
1998 — Three spectators are killed at the
U.S. 500 — the first fan deaths at a major
race in the United States in more than a
decade — and six are injured by flying debris
from the one-car crash at Michigan Speedway.

Dylan Tonneson dropped down a

third base, then darted home when
he saw the Honkers weren’t covering the plate.
Relief pitcher Tim Radmacher
was a bright spot for the Honkers.
He threw three innings, allowing
just one run.
“Tim did a great job,” Lindgren
said. “The run he gave up wasn’t
even his fault. It was a mental error.
Stuff just seems to happen to us at
the wrong times.”
Reyes Dorado (2-1) gave up four
runs and walked seven to take the
loss.
St. Cloud’s Kurtis Frymier (1-2)
earned the win. He lasted 6 2⁄3
innings, gave up four runs (one
earned) and struck out eight.

• Box score, standings, C3
With parents seemingly putting more and
more pressure on their children to perform
at a high level in youth athletics and children increasingly specializing in one sport,
the Paul Stoll household has gone another
direction.
Stoll’s 11-year-old son, Sam, not only loves
to compete, but does it in three sports —
baseball, football and wrestling for KassonMantorville youth leagues.
While Sam likes all sports he competes
in, he is bound to have a favorite. For him,
it’s wrestling. And it’s easy to see why.
Sam has captured five national wrestling
championships in the past few years, with
Nos. 4 and 5 coming in early July at the
ASICS Kids National Wrestling Tournament
in Green Bay, Wis.
He won the Greco Roman and Freestyle
championships in the Novice Division at 140
pounds. The latter of the two came against
Will Balow of Lake City.
The two young wrestlers have faced off
before, and Stoll was admittedly concerned
before the match.
“I was nervous about the freestyle title
because another Minnesota kid was in my
bracket. We’ve wrestled before and it’s always
close.”
He also enjoys wrestling because he can
take out his aggression on the opponent.
“It’s fun because I can beat up on people,”
he said. “I can take out my anger.”
Sam, who is coached by K-M varsity coach
Paul Mann, also has a twin brother, Zach,
who does not wrestle and is “a polar opposite,” according to his father.
But if the two ever do decide to wrestle
at home, they won’t have to look far for a
referee. Their mother, Tere, is a USA
Wrestling certified referee.
Paul Stoll says he was a “B-squadder”
when he wrestled in high school in New
Jersey, but it’s easy to see how much the
family is involved with wrestling.
While Paul is certainly proud of his son’s
achievements, he knows it’s up to Sam to
continue to improve as a wrestler.
“I’m just the bus driver,” he joked. “He
does the work, and works out every day. It’s
up to him. I just point the car in the right
direction and go.”
“It’s not home, though,’’ he said. “Minnesota is
my home and I definitely plan to return to
Rochester. I miss the beautiful country and most
of all, the fine people.’’
Friday night in Miami, Moore comes off a
two-year break from the ring to take on Johnson, the
No. 1 light heavyweight in the world. Johnson
(45-11-2) owns wins over Roy Jones Jr. and Antonio
Tarver.
“This is the toughest opponent I’ve ever had,’’
said Moore. “He brings the heat and makes you
fight. He cuts the ring off and punches hard. My
plan is to get his respect, good defense and a lot of
movement.’’
Johnson’s manager, Henry Foster, had praise for
Moore.
“He is a crafty, battle-tested veteran with a big
punch, ordinarily too strong of an opponent for a
non-televised bout,’’ he said.
“We anticipate seeing the finest Moore ever, recognizing the opportunity he has to upset the No. 1
light heavyweight in the world.’’
Moore (30-6, 27 KO’s) said he’s been training hard
since last year, including three-hour jogs on the
beach while wearing boots.
“I’m 40 years old but it’s not about age, it’s about
how good you take care of yourself and I’m in very
good shape,’’ Moore said. “The result of this fight
will be a good indicator of where I’m going to go and
what I need to do next. I still have championship
aspirations, but right now I’m concentrating on
this fight. I’ll evaluate after that.’’
The 10-round bout will not be televised.
Moore plans a trip to Rochester at the end of
August.

Tour leader taken out
GOURETTE, France — One of its
biggest stars is already gone, and now
so is the leader of the Tour de France.
Michael Rasmussen was removed
from the race by his Rabobank team
after winning Wednesday’s stage, a
day after Alexandre Vinokourov and
his team withdrew when the star
cyclist tested positive for a banned
blood transfusion.
“Michael Rasmussen has been sent
home for violating (the team’s) internal
rules,” Rabobank spokesman Jacob
Bergsma told The Associated Press
by phone.
The expulsion, which Bergsma said
was ordered by the Dutch team’s
sponsor, was linked to “incorrect”
information that Rasmussen gave to
the team’s sports director over his
whereabouts last month. The Danish
cyclist missed random drug tests May
8 and June 28, saying he was in
Mexico. But a former rider, Davide
Cassani, told Denmark’s Danmarks
Radio on Wednesday that he had seen
Rasmussen in Italy in mid-June.
Only once before in the history of
the 104-year-old Tour has the race
leader been expelled. In 1978, Belgian rider Michel Pollentier, trying to
evade doping controls after winning
a stage at the Alpe d’Huez in the Alps,
was caught with an intricate tube-andcontainer system that contained urine
that was not his, said Tour historian
Jean-Paul Brouchon.
Rasmussen, who has led since July
15 and looked set to win the race
which ends on Sunday in Paris, could
not be reached for comment.

Sheffield denies knowing chemist
CHICAGO — Gary Sheffield denied
knowing the chemist who said in a
TV interview Tuesday night that the
Tigers’ star had taken steroids.
“We can all claim a lot of things. I
claim a lot of things, too. But I don’t
know this guy, never seen this guy,”
Sheffield said Wednesday about
chemist Patrick Arnold. “I certainly
don’t know him. He may know of me.”
The interview with Arnold was
broadcast Tuesday night on HBO’s
“Costas Now.” Arnold, who worked
with the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative and Victor Conte, spent much of
the interview discussing his involvement with steroids and addressing
San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry
Bonds’ BALCO dealings.
Host Bob Costas asked Arnold about
the remarks Sheffield made about
steroids in an interview with HBO’s
“Real Sports” that aired July 17.
Sheffield said in the “Real Sports”
interview: “If I took what Barry Bonds
took, why don’t I look like him?”
Wednesday, Sheffield said he used
a substance provided to him at a 2001
off-season workout with Bonds, “and
that was it. I had no association with
any of those people again.”
Tuesday’s HBO interview was timed
around Bonds, who is on the verge of
breaking Hank Aaron’s homer mark.
Sheffield felt he shouldn’t be lumped
as a product of the steroid era.

Hearst: Mitchell had names
NEW YORK— Lawyers for Hearst
Corp. claim prosecutors provided baseball steroids investigator George
Mitchell the names of players implicated in drug use by former New York
Mets employee Kirk Radomski.
In a brief filed Wednesday in U.S.
District Court in Central Islip, N.Y.,
Hearst said prosecutors attempted to
“skirt the issue” when they said they
did not give Mitchell a complete copy
of a sworn statement signed by IRS
Special Agent Jeff Novitzky. In the
version made public, names of up to
23 players were blacked out.
The Albany Times Union and San
Francisco Chronicle, which are owned
by Hearst, said in previous court
papers that if prosecutors gave
Mitchell the names, they must be
made public. In the latest filing, Hearst
said the government gave Mitchell the
information without supplying the
exact document.
“These distinctions are without significance,” Hearst said. “The government has shared with Mitchell the
names redacted in the search warrant
affidavit and does not deny it.”
Prosecutors say disclosing the names
would jeopardize an ongoing investigation. The Major League Baseball
Players Association also has fought
the move to disclose names.
Aaron ball value likely to drop
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Andrew
Knuth, who owns the final home run
baseball hit by Hank Aaron, calls it
the “pre-steroid record ball.”
With Barry Bonds about to break
Aaron’s record of 755 home runs,
Knuth admits his investment will likely
go down in value. But not in his mind.
“I think it’s going to be the presteroid record ball,” Knuth said.
Bonds has 753 home runs, two away
from tying Aaron’s record.
Knuth, a 68-year-old Weston resident who runs Westport Asset Management, bought Aaron’s 755th home
run ball for $650,000 at an auction in
1999. He learned of the sale from a
colleague whose wife was Aaron’s secretary.

Staals arrested in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — Carolina Hurricanes star Eric Staal and his brother,
Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins, were arrested for misdemeanor
disorderly conduct and obstructing
the legal process at Eric Staal’s bachelor party at a Minnesota resort.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Office
said the brothers were among 14
arrested last weekend after authorities received complaints about
“screaming, yelling and playing loud
music” at a resort in northeastern
Minnesota, about two hours from the
Staals’ hometown of Thunder Bay,
Ontario.
The sheriff said the group was
warned multiple times before finally
being ordered to leave the Lutsen
Resort and Sea Villas in Lutsen, at
which point the men gathered on a
nearby highway and “began harassing
motorists.” That’s when authorities
arrested the group, around 4 a.m. Saturday.

Wie looks to get on track
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France —
Michele Wie hopes a return to the
French Alps will get her game on track.
The 17-year-old Wie is back at the
Evian Masters with her game, confidence and reputation in disarray. A
year ago, she closed with a 4-under
68 and finished in a tie for second.
She hasn’t broken par anywhere since.
“It’s so good to be back here,” she
said. “It’s so nice, so beautiful, the
people are so nice and I feel at home.
It’s been a really tough year this year.”
Wie has struggled with wrist injuries,
and her last appearance was at the
U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles
four weeks ago, when she withdrew
halfway through the second round.
Earlier in the season, she withdrew
from the Ginn Tribute, citing a wrist
injury, but then was seen practicing
over the weekend. She received strong
rebukes from Annika Sorenstam and
LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn
Bivens.

Associated Press
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — To prosecutors, Michael Vick is a ruthless
participant in a dogfighting operation.
To people living in the poor, crimeridden neighborhood where Vick grew
up, he is a generous benefactor who
provides school supplies and athletic
uniforms to local kids and buys air
conditioners for housing-project residents.
“He’s a good person. He’s making a
difference in the community,” Misha
Brown said Tuesday as she dropped
off her children at the same Boys &
Girls Club where the 27-year-old Vick
honed his athletic skills.
Though Brown has never met the
Atlanta Falcons quarterback, she sings
his praises. Without his generosity,
she said, her children and others in
the East End neighborhood would not
have had backpacks and other supplies for school last year
Vick and three other men are to be
arraigned today in federal court in

procuring and training pit bulls for

But the two bet-takers apparently
exaggerated their Mafia connections.
“They’re nobodies,” a law enforcement source said.
The mob wanna-bes attended Cardinal O’Hara High School in suburban
Philadelphia with Donaghy, who was
a varsity standout on the school’s basketball and baseball teams.
Donaghy, 40, has become the focus
of the federal investigation into bets
he allegedly made on NBA games,
including some he officiated. The veteran referee, who earned $260,000 a
year for whistling fouls on the hardwood, allegedly gave the bookies
advance word on officiating crews of
games they planned to take action on,
the source said.
Donaghy is expected to surrender
to the FBI by next week to plead guilty
to gambling charges.

MANKATO, Minn. — Steve

“Training camp, for the young
guys, is huge,” the Pro Bowl
guard said. “A lot of stuff gets
thrown at you, and it’s hard to
catch up if you miss something.”
The Minnesota Vikings

Wednesday for the 42nd

rookies Adrian Peterson and
Sidney Rice, the team’s firstand second-round draft picks,
were noticeably absent.
However, third-round draft

from the Twin Cities along with
several other rookies.
“Being a third-rounder, I

McCauley is expected to compete for the nickel-back spot.
“They didn’t draft me in the
third round if they didn’t want
me to do something,” he said.
“I like my chances to play a lot
this season.”
Veteran linebacker E.J. Henderson reported to training
camp early Wednesday, then
was excused to take care of a
family matter. He’s expected to
return by Thursday night and

practices Friday.

back that is leading an offense
Taylor says Peterson will add RB depth
By Jason Feldman
jfeldman@postbulletin.com
Chester Taylor insists he wasn’t upset
when the Minnesota Vikings made their
first-round selection in the NFL Draft in
April.
“No, not at all,” Taylor
said. “This gives us more
depth at running back
and will take some of the
workload off me.”
Taylor ran for 1,216
yards and six touchdowns
last season, his first in a
Vikings uniform. He battled injuries late in the
season, though, showing Taylor
the effects of his first year as a full-time
rusher after spending four years in Baltimore behind Jamal Lewis.
So, when the Vikings nabbed Oklahoma
University star Adrian Peterson with the
No. 7 overall pick in the draft, Taylor was
surprisingly pleased.
The Vikings reported for training camp
Wednesday and will hold their first practices of the new season Friday morning
and afternoon.
Taylor will be there; Peterson may not
be, as he had yet to sign a contract with
the Vikings as of Wednesday night.
“We won’t have to depend on me as
much as we did last year,” said Taylor,
who was in Rochester earlier this week,
“and we’ll have some packages where both
(Peterson) and myself will be in the backfield. One of us may split out wide, or be
used to catch the ball.
“There are a lot of things we can do with
the two of us.”
Taylor said it took some time to jell with
new teammates last season. Two of the
Blue Jays scorch Twins
for 11-run 6th inning
Associated Press
TORONTO — Gregg Zaun
homered and drove in four
runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays
tied a franchise record with an
11-run sixth inning in a 13-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins
on Wednesday that completed
a three-game sweep.
Toronto (51-50) has won a
season-high five straight to
move over .500 for the first time
since June 27, when it was 3938. Minnesota (51-50) lost its
fourth straight, matching a
season worst.
Zaun singled and scored in
the fifth, then added both an
RBI double and a three-run
homer in the sixth. He finished
3-for-4, scored three runs and
came within a triple of the
cycle.
Jesse Litsch (3-4) allowed one
run and five hits over seven
innings, walking one and
striking out four.
The Twins opened the
scoring in the fourth when Luis
Castillo doubled and scored on
a two-out single by Justin
Morneau.
Lyle Overbay put Toronto in
front with a two-run double in
the fifth before the Blue Jays
broke open the game in the
sixth.
Carlos Silva, Dennys Reyes,
Juan Rincon and Matt Guerrier
all worked in the 14-batter
inning.
Silva lost for the first time in
three starts, and Reyes allowed
an earned run for the first time
in 18 appearances since coming
off the disabled list June 14.
offensive linemen he ran behind — Pro
Bowl left guard Steve Hutchinson and right
guard Artis Hicks — were also new to the
Vikings.
“We had pretty good success running
the ball last year,” Taylor said. “It was the
first year playing together for a lot of us.
Now it’s our second year together, so things
will only get better.”
The Vikings will likely rely heavily on
their running game to pace an offense that
is expected to be led by second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson out of Alabama
State. Jackson is speedy and has a strong
arm, but is still trying to grasp a complex
pro offense.
“Tarvaris, he’s still young,” Taylor said.
“It’s just his second year, and it’s very hard
to be a quarterback in the NFL. When
you’re young like he is, there’s a lot to
learn. That’s why I have to do what I can
to help take the pressure off him.”

Twins demote
McDonald
Associated Press
TORONTO — The Minnesota Twins demoted outfielder Darnell McDonald to
Triple-A Rochester on
Wednesday following a 13-1
loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Twins did not immediately announce a replacement, but manager Ron Gardenhire hinted the team will
call up third baseman Brian
Buscher before beginning a
three-game series in Cleveland on Friday.
Buscher, 26, was batting
.319 with six home runs and
20 RBIs in 34 games at
Rochester.
Selected by San Francisco
in the third round of the June
2003 draft, Buscher was taken
by the Twins in the
December 2006 Rule V draft.
Lynx lose again, frustration builds
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — This
season just keeps getting more
difficult for the Minnesota Lynx.
Penny Taylor had 30 points
and eight rebounds Wednesday
as the Phoenix Mercury handed
the Lynx a franchise recordtying 10th consecutive loss, 10379.
Diana Taurasi added 19
points, six assists and five
rebounds, and the Mercury
extended their WNBA record
by scoring 100 points for the
fifth time this season.
“It does get frustrating,” said
Minnesota guard Noelle Quinn,
who finished with nine points
and six assists. “We were in
there in the fourth quarter. It
just got away.”
Phoenix won for the third
time in four games and moved
into a tie with Sacramento for
second place in the Western
Conference, two games behind
San Antonio.
Tiffany Stansbury had 13
points and 10 rebounds for the
Lynx. Minnesota, the WNBA’s
youngest team with an average
age of 23.6 years, fell to a
WNBA-worst 5-20.
•
C3
The Lynx also lost 10 straight
when they dropped the final
three games of 2006 and the
first seven this season.
“We missed a lot of open
looks,” said Minnesota coach
Don Zierden, whose team shot
38.5 percent from the field.
“And we would have liked to
have a lot of players play better
defense on Penny Taylor.”
Seimone Augustus scored 13
points — 11 in the second half
— for the Lynx.
Things were looking brighter
for Minnesota earlier in the
season. After losing their first
seven games, the Lynx won five
of their next eight, including
three straight at Target Center.
Since losing rookie guard
Lindsey Harding — the first
pick in the 2007 WNBA draft —
to a year-ending left knee injury
July 10 at Washington, though,
Minnesota has struggled again.
Harding, a former Duke University standout, was averaging
11.7 points per game.
The Lynx, who are 0-10 in
July, haven’t won since June 29
at San Antonio. They lost 106-93
to the Mercury on Sunday in
Phoenix.
•
•
What can Minnesota do to salvage something from this
season?
“Just keep working hard,”
said center Nicole Ohlde, who
scored only four points and shot
1-for-10 from the field.
Phoenix (14-10), which
boosted its league-best scoring
average to 87.7 points per game,
finished 25-for-28 at the freethrow line. Taylor was 9-for-10.
Taylor, a 6-1 forward from
Australia, is averaging 24.1
points in eight July games.
“She is having a phenomenal
season,” Ohlde said. “She has
the ability to extend the range.
She is quick off the dribble and
has great footwork. She is able
to do a lot of things.”
The Mercury’s lead never got
below nine points in the second
half.
Rochester native Kelly Miller
scored eight points for Phoenix.
She started the game and
played 27 minutes, with five
rebounds and eight assists.
One bright spot for the Lynx:
They drew a season-best crowd
of 13,004 for their annual
matinee game at Target Center.

making a move to
NASCAR
By Jill Erwin
LapbyLap
W
hen Marcos Ambrose moved to the
U.S. from Australia after success in
that country’s V8 Supercar Series, he
knew it wouldn’t be easy.
He was older than most NASCAR rookies
(29) and had never driven on an oval track.
But the bug had bitten him, and his relationship with Ford connected him with Wood
Brothers/JTG Racing for a Craftsman Truck
ride last season.
All was lined up for him to give it a shot.
Until it came time to get into the ride.
“I went out for driver intros, and then I went
to get in and I got in the wrong side,” Ambrose
said. “Everything’s so completely foreign with
the way the races are run, the way the weekends are set up, all the venues, the way you
talk to the media. It’s all very different.”
Now, a season later, the “Tasmanian Devil”
is in the Busch Series.
It’s been a long road for him to get here,
starting in his home country of Tasmania and
moving across Europe before returning to Australia to have a go of it.
He was runner-up in the Australian roadracing championships. He finished third and
fifth in Europe. He won a mini-series in 1999
comprising all the European series. He ran
five races in British Formula 3. Then, he went
home to the touring series and was rookie of
the year, then finished third, first, first and
third before packing up and coming here to
try NASCAR.
He’d set himself up, having already
announced he was not going to race in Australia next year.
Ambrose held out hope that his affiliation
with Ford would pay off and allow him a shot
at the big time. He took matters into his hands
a full two years earlier, however.
“I came over on my own in 2003, rented an
RV in Charlotte, drove to Bristol,” Ambrose
said. “I wanted to go to Bristol to really get
to the heart of NASCAR racing. It doesn’t get
any gnarlier than Bristol, and I went there
just to see what it was about, see if I could
have any opportunity or any chance to see
if I could have a go at it. I saw that, fell in
love with it entirely in 2003 and just started
working away at that.”
He met up with Tad Geschickter, now a
co-owner of Wood Brothers/JTG Racing, at
Indy Raceway Park two summers ago.
They met again in the Ford suite during a
USAC race, and Ambrose stopped by
Geschickter’s motor home to chat.
“I read his résumé on the Internet, and
he’s obviously an impressive guy to talk to.
I invited him to fly back over a month later,
we did three rounds of testing, a short track,
Rockingham and Kentucky, just to see how
he’d adapt to oval racing and test his communication skills.”
Ambrose did enough, and he signed a deal
with the team over the phone in late 2005.
He had already impressed Dan Davis, the
director of Ford Racing Technology.
“Marcos had talent, there was no question
about that,” Davis said. “But he also had a
great personality that we thought would be a
hit with fans over here, and most importantly, he had the desire and the
commitment to come over here and
make it work. He spent some time at
races learning the sport; he moved
his family to North Carolina; and
he was willing to work his way up
from the Truck Series to make it
happen.”
Ambrose said he told his
family to give him three
years to try to make it. Three
years to race in the series he had
followed for as long as he could
remember. Three years to make his
dreams come true.
But there were plenty of questions. Ambrose’s popularity
in Australia, he said, is
comparable to a

Kasey Kahne. The series is the fourth or fifth
largest sport in the country, similar to NASCAR,
he said. However, Australia is a tad bit smaller
than the U.S.
“I did a radio show there before Bristol, and
it went to 78 stations across the country, probably had an audience of 25 to 30 million. That’s
one and a half times the population of Australia,” Ambrose said with a smile. “I’m used
to doing a radio show that has 1,000 [listeners].
I feel like I’m a pioneer. I’m an Aussie just
coming across here, just having a
good time.”

Denny Hamlin.

gritty win at Indianapolis, battling back
from an early tire problem to take the
lead, only to see it evaporate when a late
debris caution bunched up the field. It

Biffle airs candid views
DETROIT — Greg Biffle is
one of NASCAR’s toughest
competitors. You don’t want
to lean on the Roush Fenway
Racing driver, particularly if
you’ve committed some ontrack indiscretion, like bumpdrafting him in a turn or running him into a wall.
He’s also one of the
straightest shooters in the
Nextel Cup Series, rarely
backing down from a hard
question, willing on most occasions to sit down and talk.
And he has a fun side, a
trait he demonstrated at the
Super Car Wash on 12 Mile
Road in Farmington Hills on
Wednesday.
Biffle, 38, was in town to
promote the 3M Performance
400 Cup event at Michigan
International Speedway in
Brooklyn on Sunday, Aug. 19.
He’ll drive the No. 16 3M Performance Ford Fusion in the
race, the 23rd of 36 on the Cup
schedule.
Biffle let his feelings be
known about Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who is
being investigated for dog
fighting activities, before discussing racing matters and
drying customers’ vehicles as
they exited the car wash. One
of the customers was the 300
Pound Cowboy, also known as
Jason Raithel, a DJ from Lincoln Park.
In fact, Raithel — screaming
and hollering, wearing just a
pair of black shorts —
strapped himself to the hood
of a Chevy S-10 pickup and
•
took the wash along with the
vehicle, Biffle toweling down
his goggles and face afterward.
“Michael Vick? I just wish
they’d put him in jail, put him
in prison,” said Biffle, an
animal lover who has formed
the Greg Biffle Foundation for
Animals and is involved in the
production of the annual
NASCAR pets calendar. As he
heads to this weekend’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
Biffle, who has 11 Cup victories, is 16th in points and
likely to miss the Chase for
the Championship for a
second straight year after finishing runner-up in 2005.
“We are certainly not going
to give up (on the Chase),”
Biffle said. “But I don’t see
making it this year. It’s a long
road back.”
Biffle isn’t pointing fingers,
but it’s no secret he hasn’t
been happy with how the
team has performed, from pit
stops to preparation of the car.
“It’s been pretty frustrating
. . . and some of the problems
we’ve had have been completely uncalled for,” Biffle
said. But after a sixth-place
finish in the Pepsi 400 at Daytona on July 7, he said there’s
hope.
“We feel we’re again moving
in the right direction. But little
things this season have added
up into big deficits.”
DEI-Ginn merger: Dale
Earnhardt Inc. announced a

Lead-free
but pricey
Non-toxic tackle
is a tough sell
GARRISON, Minn. — All 4year-old Ben Johnson wanted
to do was play with the shiny,
colorful jigs and weights.
He didn’t want to talk about
his love of fishing, especially
northerns, or all the loons at
Bay Lake where his family
spends most summer weekends.
He just kept going through the
boxes of tackle on a table in
front of a big sporting goods
store at Garrison, Minn.
But those jigs and weights
could help keep the loons on
the lake alive, and might be the
kind of tackle he will use as he
gets older. They are all nontoxic, made of tin, tungsten,
glass, bismuth, or combinations
of them, instead of the traditional lead. Lead from anglers,
and hunters, has been linked
to the death of many loons, as
well as millions of waterfowl,
eagles and other birds.
Loons and waterfowl can pick
up small lead tackle, or shotgun
pellets, from the bottom of lakes
or marshes and use it as grit to
digest food (waterfowl hunters
must use non-toxic shot but
some remains available to birds).
Even a few small pellets can kill
a swan or loon.
Also, if fish eat it and die, fisheating birds such as eagles or
osprey can get the lead into their
system.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and other groups
are touting the virtues of nontoxic fishing tackle, and will
even trade lead tackle for nontoxics at swaps, such as the one
a week ago in Garrison.
Which is why Tim Farnan, a
source-reduction specialist, was
sitting in the hot sun in front
of Tutt’s last week with boxes of
jigs and weights. When Ben
John
Weiss
To learn more about
lead-free tackle, go to
and his family from Lindstrom,
Minn., drove up to buy minnows for their weekly fishing
outing, Farnan asked them if
they wanted to learn more
about non-toxics, and even try
some.
His mother, Sara Johnson, said
she hadn’t heard about the nontoxics but was interested. “It
sounds good for the environment,” she said. They see lots
of loons, the poster bird of lead’s
toxicity, “all the time,” she said.
As she talked, Ben just kept
on looking.
His father, Casey Johnson,
agreed to try a sample of nontoxics. “We’ll give it a shot,” he
said.
“I think it’s worth it for the
environment,” his wife said and
they headed into Tutt’s for minnows.
Farnan had another convert,
or at least someone who’s
willing to try non-toxics.
The word is getting out to
anglers with tackle swaps and
advertising, he said. He and
others collect from 40 to 100
pounds of lead per swap, but
more important, give out the
information. He figures about
half the state’s anglers know
about non-toxics, and more are
beginning to use it. “People who
are into hunting and fishing
want to make sure the ecosystems are protected,” he said.
While lead tackle comes in
John Weiss/Post-Bulletin
Ben Johnson, 4, of Lindstrom, Minn., examines non-toxic
jigs and weights during a tackle exchange outside Tutt’s
sporting goods store in Garrison, Minn. Anglers were invited to trade their lead tackle for lead-free tackle, such as
the bullet sinkers at right, that pose no danger to loons,
eagles and other birds.
many sizes from tiny split shot
to 4-ounce sinkers, the most critical ones to get out of tackle
boxes are the small ones, a halfounce or less, said Barbara
Skoglund, a MPCA spokeswoman.
More manufacturers are
making non-toxics each year,
she said, but it’s not an easy
sell. Tutt’s, a large sporting good
store, only sells non-toxic
weights, not jigs.
Matt Scott, Tutt’s manager,
explained why: “The price is
the problem, the biggest one,”
he said.
Toby Hatzenpiller of Blaine,
Minn., who also stopped to see
Farnan’s display, agreed.
“If it was the same price, I
would swap in a second — if it
fished the same.”
That’s the rub. It often costs
quite a bit more, though the
price is dropping. And, admittedly, tin just doesn’t work well
for split shot because it’s so
light compared with lead. But
some new items, such as bismuth/tin jigs, are nearly as
heavy as lead. There is also a
Pheasant outlook is promising
By John Weiss

OUTDOORS NOTES
Go & Do
The heat that has been wilting
gardens and grass is going to be
good for pheasants.
The birds love it, said Kurt
Haroldson, a Department of Natural Resources biologist/researcher
in Madelia. “As a general rule here
in the humid part of the country,
we get more moisture than is ideal
for ground-nesting birds,” he said.
“And as you go west, you get too
little moisture.”
If this region stays parched
through early autumn, there could
be some problems for birds; however, such desert-like conditions
are very unusual, he said.
The DNR begins its annual
roadside counts next week to look
for pheasants and other farmland
wildlife. “I’m just expecting very
good things,” Haroldson said. The
spring count of pheasants was the
highest in five years; “Things are
actually looking darned good.”
Most hens have already hatched
their brood for the year, with the
peak around June 5, but a few had
nests wiped out and will renest,
he said. “Pheasants are one of the
most persistent renesters of all
birds,” he said. Some roosters are
still crowing, looking for hens to
breed, and those hens could still
begin laying eggs, he said. A few
young are hatched in late August.
That might make it hard for
young birds that might not be
large enough to survive if winter
comes early, he said. But during
hunting seasons, the young
roosters might still lack full
plumage and would be less likely
to be shot.
Last year’s bird numbers were
quite good, at least by modern
standards, the DNR has
announced. It reported hunters
shot 588,000 birds in Minnesota
last fall, up 3,000 from 2005 and
well above the 10-year average of
401,000. That, however, is far from
the glory years about 50 years ago
when hunters shot more than 1.5
million pheasants; in those years,
hunters could shoot some hens.
The 129,000 hunters averaged
4.9 birds last year, down a bit from
the year before.

nifty new snap-on tungsten
composite, as well as copper,
stainless steel or bismuth slip
sinkers and weights.
That’s the message Farnan
and others are pitching to families such as the Johnsons: there
is an alternative and it works.
If that doesn’t convince you,
think about the loons.
That’s the bottom line.

Want to be a hero? Heed the call to take grandkids fishing
Photo courtesy of Walter Scott
•
When children are a certain age, they
think their father is the strongest,
smartest, greatest guy in the whole world.
Unfortunately, at that time in our lives,
most fathers are so busy with many other
things that we do not take full advantage of being a hero.
A second chance comes when grandchildren pass through that magical age.
I have lived long enough to have learned
to take full advantage of any situation
that makes me look good.
When my grandsons come up to me
and ask, “Grandpa, would you take us
fishing?” I go fishing. It does not hurt
anything that I usually want to go fishing
anyway, but more importantly, I am again
a hero.
When the call came Saturday afternoon, it did not take much convincing
to get everyone moving. We packed
coolers with drinks, vegetables for the
grill, and a watermelon. If we did not
catch any fish, we might be vegetarians
for the evening, but we would not starve.

Fishing was pretty slow for quite a
while. Boudreaux, the official fishing
dog, sat staring at me as if to say, “What’s
going on? You are supposed to catch
fish for me to check out.” He, like the
grandsons, is convinced I am a great
fisherman.
We were almost ready to give up, eat
vegetables and go home when the fish
started biting. We got into a school of
crappies and caught enough for a meal
in short order, including one caught by
my wife that would make a meal by
itself.
Before long, the bass starting biting
and the boys were getting excited. They
•
•
each caught a few one- to two-pound
fish that put up a really good fight, especially on a Snoopy fishing pole.
No one had caught anything really big
when Trevor tied into one that started
spinning the boat around. He was afraid
it was going to pull him in. The rest of
the boats came up close while he fought
the fish of a lifetime. Amanda, his
mother, helped him land the fish. It
weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces.
For a 6-year-old, it really was the fish
of his short lifetime. Many adults have
not caught a fish that size.
Zane was awed by his brother’s fish,
but more impressed with all the attention and picture taking. At 4 years old,
the glory is as good as the getting.
The next fish Zane caught will be preserved for posterity as the greatest fighter
of the evening. We all gathered around
and took pictures of his trophy, too.
It was getting dark before we headed
the boats toward shore. The boys ate
•
watermelon while the adults cleaned
fish and set up the picnic table. The
vegetables were well-done by the time
we got the fish fried. We ate a delicious
meal by lantern light at the side of the
lake while we told each other fishing
stories.
It is amazing how even a young fisherman comes by telling fishing stories
naturally. By the end of the evening,
Trevor’s bass was almost as big as the
boat and would have fed all of us for the
winter if we had not turned it loose.
Everyone had a great time fishing,
eating, and enjoying the outdoors. The
grandsons thought I was a special
person who not only took them fishing
but somehow got the fish to bite so they
could catch them.
Sometimes it is easy to be the hero —
and really easy when a whole family
helps out.

Publisher Note: It has recently been brought to
our attention that a
puppy scam is targeting
animal lovers. Readers
are asked to wire money
to a seller who is either
out of the country or out
of state, with the promise
that the seller will ship
the animal once the wire
transfer has been received.
We at the Post-Bulletin
take every precaution to
protect our readers and
ask that they look for red
flags and consider the following when purchasing
an animal:
*Purchase locally.
*Be wary of ads that do
not list a telephone number but an e-mail address
only.
*Have the animal examined by a veterinarian
before purchasing.
*Never wire money or
send a check.
*Be sure to obtain the pet
at the time of purchase.

Lightfoot headlines
concert series
By Tom Weber
weber@postbulletin.com
A few Canadians, a Salsa dance
party, a Celtic band, gospel music
from the Deep South and bluegrass
from the hills.
The Riverside Live concert series
will maintain its reputation for presenting an eclectic mix of cultures
and music genres during the 200708 season announced today.
“We pride ourselves on being
able to offer a wide variety,” said
Steven Schmidt, Riverside Concerts
general manager.
The season begins with a concert
by Canadian folk/pop legend
Gordon Lightfoot at 7:30 p.m. Sept.
21 at the Mayo Civic Center auditorium.
Lightfoot has been composing
and recording hit songs since the
mid-’60s. Among songs he wrote that
were hits either for himself or
others are “Early Mornin’ Rain,”
“If You Could Read My Mind,”
“Sundown,” “The Wreck of the
Edmund Fitzgerald” and the monumental “Canadian Railroad
Trilogy.”
The concert by Lightfoot will continue another Riverside Live tradition, presenting major folk music
artists from the 1960s. Previous concerts in the series have featured
Joan Baez, Janis Ian, Arlo Guthrie
and Richie Havens, and each show
has been either a sellout or a nearsellout.

Gordon Lightfoot headlines an eclectic mix of acts during the
Riverside Live concert series. Lightfoot performs Sept. 21 at the
Mayo Civic Center auditorium.
“I’m not surprised,” Schmidt said.
“Our research showed there’s a
demand for these types of artists
here.”
Indeed, as word has leaked out
about the Lightfoot show, a buzz
has already begun. “I was stopped
at least a half dozen times in the
park Sunday night (at Down by the
Riverside) by people asking me
when tickets would go on sale for
Gordon Lightfoot,” Schmidt said.
Other highlights of the new
season are concerts by the Blind
Boys of Alabama Feb. 16, and
pianist George Winston April 24.
“This season may not have as
many big names, like last year when
we had America and Aaron
Neville,” Schmidt said, “but it’s a
very well-balanced season, with
something for everyone.”
Also on tap
during the
Riverside Live
concert series
will be a
performance by
the Blind Boys
of Alabama, a
gospel group.

TIP OF THE DAY
Heloise says
When going to the beach or pool, put a
safety pin on one corner of every beach towel.
The safety pins really come in handy if a
strap breaks, a zipper malfunctions, seams
come loose, etc. Even if you’re not around
the water and need a safety pin in a hurry, at
least you know where to look for one. For
more hints from Heloise, see Page D4.

The Clientele “God Save the Clientele”
(Merge)
Britain’s top purveyors of melancholy
retro-ness are back with a disc recorded
in, of all places, Nashville. And yes, there
is a pedal steel guitar on a couple of these
songs, but that in no way dims the European gauze in which they come wrapped.
Points of reference? The opener, “Here
Comes the Phantom” borrows from
“Penny Lane,” while “Isn’t Life Strange?”
is a hauntingly beautiful dirge in a
Lennon-meets-Harrison vein. The guitar
solo on “Bookshop Casanova” is straight
out of the Summer of Love.
But songwriter/lead vocalist Alisdair
MacLean’s vision and voice are all his
own, where late-night walks through
London lanes continue to mix with
dreams of what might have been.
That he and the Clientele have managed to make it all sound a wee bit
brighter this time around does not in any
way diminish the impact of their achingly
bittersweet music.

Raul Malo, “After Hours” (New Door
Records)
Aged Scotch, a fine cigar and the voice
of Raul Malo all are acquired tastes.
On “After Hours,” the former frontman
of the late Mavericks blends some country,
some jazz and a touch of pop into a mix
that would go well in a smoky joint with
a cold drink and a good friend.
The songs — “Welcome to my World,”
“Cold, Cold Heart” “For the Good Times”
— are country chestnuts, but Malo makes
them sophisticated country with a clarinet, saxes, a tinkly piano and hissing
snares to accompany his soaring tenor
in an often torchy sound.
It’s largely a fine makeout album, but
Malo swings on his rendition of Hank
Williams’ “Cold, Cold Heart,” a la Louis
Prima, and adds a Bakersfield sound with
the Dwight Yoakam-Roger Miller tune
“It Only Hurts Me When I Cry” — the
closest he comes to the Latino-flavored
country sounds of his Mavericks days.
Buck Owens, the father of the Bakersfield sound, wrote “Crying Time” and
Ray Charles owns it, but Malo adds a
wonderful interpretation.

Funny, sassy and intelligent in that moronic Simpsons way
The Simpsons are fairly surprised to find themselves in a
movie; they can’t believe
“anyone would pay to see what
we did on TV for free.” But I
suspect a lot of people will.
Here is a feature-length version
of what Time magazine, no less,
called “the 20th century’s best
television series.” That may say
more about Time magazine and
the 20th century than it does
about the Simpsons, but never
mind: The movie is funny, sassy
and intelligent in that moronic
Simpsons way.
There is a plot, sort of,
involving Homer’s role in polluting the lake in Springfield,
which calls down the wrath of
the federal bureaucracy and
leads to dire consequences for
his fellow citizens. The Simp-

sons’ guilt is counterbalanced
by poor, idealistic Lisa, who
goes door-to-door collecting signatures for her environmental
crusade, only to get every door
slammed in her face. One house
even flees.
This story allows room for the
sorts of political asides the
Simpsons are famous for; not
broadsides, but sideswipes.
When the feds finally succeed
at something in the movie,
they’re as surprised as everybody else.
For me, the three biggest
laughs in the movie (I won’t
spoil them) were a plug for the
Fox network, a skateboarding
sequence inspired by “Austin
Powers,” and a unique way to
go fishing. Those, and the peculiar everyday lives of the closely
knit Simpsons, fill in the gaps in
the plot, along with a devout
neighbor who, considering what
Homer puts in his mailbox, is
more sinned against than sinning.
The movie sets some kind of
record by crediting no less than
11 writers (James L. Brooks,
Matt Groening, Al Jean, Ian
Maxstone-Graham, George
Meyer, David Mirkin, Mike
Reiss, Mike Scully, Matt Selman,
John Swartzwelder and Jon
Vitti). That’s not the usual case
of endless tinkering, but an

“300” — The blueprint of this film was drawn from
ancient Greece and a legendary and important conflict
in history -- the Battle of Thermopylae. Though it looks
like the world’s most sophisticated and expensive video
game, “300” is the “Citizen Kane” of cinematic graphic novels. In this sweeping, epic adaptation of the classic graphic novel from master-of-the-genre Frank Miller,
director Zack Snyder has created a jaw-dropping, surrealistic dreamscape filled with stunning images and battle sequences so ambitious you sometimes have to laugh
at the sheer audacity of the whole thing. Rated R for
graphic battle sequences throughout, some sexuality and
nudity. Reviewed by Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-TImes.

Lots of adventures await the Simpsons in “The Simpsons Movie.”
example of devotion; Variety
says all 11 produced episodes
for the TV show at one time or
another. The genius of the
series is that it has tapped some
of the best offbeat comic talent
instead of settling for the TV
animation groove. Consider
James L. Brooks and voice
talent A. (for Albert) Brooks.
These people work outside the
box.
I’m not generally a fan of
movies spun off from TV animation. The Flintstones and
Ninja Turtles moved me only
marginally. But there’s something about the Simpsons that’s
radical and simple at the same
time, subversive and goodhearted, offensive without really
meaning to be. It’s a nice balancing act. And it finally settles the controversy over what
state Springfield is in; it is bordered, we learn, by Ohio,
Nevada, Maine and Kentucky.
So you can figure it out right
there.

Want the warmth of vinyl
and the convenience of MP3s?
Several independent record
labels have started programs
that allow customers who purchase vinyl LPs to download
them for free as high-quality
MP3 files via the label’s Web
site. The MP3s can then be
transferred to a portable
music player or burned to a
CD.
Venerable Seattle label Sub
Pop Records adopted the
practice earlier this year with
the much-acclaimed Shins
album “Wincing The Night
Away.”
“It just seems like the fair
thing to do,” said Andy
Kotowitz, the label’s director
of sales. “CD buyers can rip
the album (with) no problem
and LP buyers should have
the same access. In addition,
LP buyers are typically more
serious listeners and I think
there will be a demand for
vinyl long after the CD has
been eradicated.”
The first label to adopt the
practice was North Carolina’s
Merge Records. Nebraska’s
Saddle Creek Records, whose
•
roster includes artists such as
Bright Eyes and Cursive, followed suit early in 2006.
The cost to the consumer
for CDs and LPs is usually the
same.
Saddle Creek’s manager
Jason Kulbel said that while
the service has led to
increased vinyl sales relative
to previous releases, it’s still
mainly geared toward vinyl
aficionados.
CDs make up the lion’s
share of sales (about 80 percent) for the record label,
Kulbel said. Digital sales, such
as those available at Apple’s
iTunes store, account for 15
percent. Vinyl only makes up
3 to 5 percent of sales.
“The market for vinyl is very
small — it’s by far our least
popular format,” Kulbel said.
“Having it as an option is still
very important for us.”
Every record label is different. Those that have
adopted this practice include:
Merge, Sub Pop, Saddle Creek
and Matador. Also, the service
mainly applies to new and
recent releases. Not every
album in a label’s back catalog is available.

were in charge of our
laundry. To make sure the

for each load, they would set
the controls and then take a

then the picture was deleted.
It was an easy way for me to
check that each load had the
right settings. — Ann, Lexington, Ky.

make extra effort in school and
he’s losing interest in playing
guitar, etc. Recently, my son told
me his dad calls him lazy and
this does not inspire him to
work harder, but, rather, has
the opposite effect.
I told my ex this was counterproductive and hurtful. His
response was, “Well, it’s true.”
I said that regardless, he should
not voice that opinion in front

not my problem” and walked
out. Now he’s not speaking to
me. What can I say to my son

words? — Concerned Mom

a musical instrument is fairly
common and not an indication
of laziness. Before your son
becomes determined to prove

counseling. If your ex won’t go,
go without him.

in conversation, he rarely has
anything to say, and when he
does, it tends to be idiotic. He

and he is NOT funny. Other
neighbors have met them and

More artists taking credit for songs they didn’t write
By Nekesa Mumbi Moody
Associated Press
Associated Press
Singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk’s comments about
Avril Lavigne ignited a debate over songwriting credits.
Usher, and has worked with
Chris Brown, Ciara and others.
Shropshire says that many
artists will only allow songwriters to work on an album in
return for song credit, and “if
they do write, they ask for more
publishing than they honestly
contributed ... it is the way it
is.”
The practice has been prevalent for decades. Elvis Presley’s
manager, Colonel Tom Parker,
maneuvered to give the King
songwriting credits on early hits
like “Love Me Tender” even
though he never wrote a word.
James Brown was sued by an
associate over song credits.
Lauryn Hill settled a lawsuit
by a group that claimed she
improperly took sole production and writing credit on her
Grammy-winning album “The
music has long been scrutinized.
Grammy-winning songwriter
Dallas Austin says he’s had a
manager rave about a song
Austin wrote all by himself, and
then tell him, “We wanna know
if we can get a piece of the pie
on it because (the artist) wants
to feel like she has a part ownership on the song.
“And I’ll say, ’In all fairness,
no. ... If you want to work with
me at least sit here and put
something into it, instead of
coming after I’ve done everything and try and claim percentages on it.”’
Gerson calls the practice
unfair but says it’s “pretty
prevalent in pop and R&B ... I
think the way people now
divide publishing splits is who
was in the room. ’OK ... I
changed the word “the” to “a,”
and I deserve 10 percent of the
publishing.”’
Sean Garrett, who has created smashes for Beyonce,
Kelis, Fergie and others, says
he gave up credit when he was
just starting out, which is
common for newcomers. “It
bothered me but I knew it was
just a price that I had to pay to
continue my career and stay
focused with the big prize,” he
says.
Ne-Yo, a true singer-songwriter who co-wrote Beyonce’s
“Irreplaceable,” says early in
his career he had to deal with
the same thing. He says some
artists feel they are doing a
novice a favor by recording
their song so they deserve a
piece of the royalties.
But now that songwriters like
Warren, Garrett and Ne-Yo are
established, they rarely find
themselves taken advantage of
any more.
“I give other people credit
where credit is due, like Beyonce really did vocally arrange
(’Irreplaceable’),” Ne-Yo says.
“So for someone to come in and
take my credit because they are
who they are? That doesn’t
work for me. I don’t care who
you are.”
0726499924P
NEW YORK — Of all the
names in music, Chantal Kreviazuk may be the least likely to
appear in a headline. Though
she recently released her own
album, the songwriter usually
stays behind the scenes to pen
hits with artists such as Kelly
Clarkson, Gwen Stefani and
Avril Lavigne.
But earlier this month, Kreviazuk rocked the pop music
world by suggesting that Lavigne was a collaborator in name
only. Although she quickly
retracted her comments and
others defended Lavigne, the
flap illuminated a long-standing
fraud that has become more
prevalent than ever: “singersongwriters” who do much less
songwriting than their publicists would have you believe.
“It’s crazy!” exclaimed
Grammy-winning songwriter
Diane Warren, who has written
for artists such as Whitney
Houston, Celine Dion and Mary
J. Blige. “How can someone
look in the mirror and know
they didn’t do something and
their name is on it? For money?
For credit? It’s a lie.”
This being the music industry,
money is of course a factor,
since the writers of hit songs
can earn more than the singer
over the long term. But today’s
singers also press for writing
credit because it gives them
more of a cachet, presenting
them as more of a “real artist”
in comparison with a star who
doesn’t write a note.
“It’s a practice that’s been
going on but now it’s really
prevalent in every situation,”
says songwriter Adonis Shropshire, who helped pen the hit
“My Boo” for Alicia Keys and
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”
And Diddy seemed to acknowledge claims that he wasn’t
really writing his raps in the
“Bad Boys for Life” song with
the brushoff line: “Don’t worry
if I write rhymes, I write
checks!”
The notion that serious artists
have to write their own songs
seems to have grown over the
past two decades. Today, even
the fluffiest of pop acts is credited as having written their own
material.
“We as an industry ... don’t
look at someone who has an
incredible voice as an artist,
whereas having an incredible
voice is artistry,” says Jody
Gerson, an executive vice president of EMI Music Publishing.
“I think people place more of a
value on an artist if they write
their own songs; it gives them
credibility.”
Indeed, Lavigne’s songwriting
abilities have been touted since
she broke out as a teen with
the hit “Complicated.” But how
much she contributed to her

Welcome to the hotel California
Crossword/
Thomas Joseph
By Kevin McDonough
United Feature Syndicate
“Welcome to the Parker” (10 p.m., Bravo)
offers a behind-the-scenes peek at a posh
five-star hotel resort in Palm Springs, Calif.
We meet the controlling manager whose
business mantra is “obsession,” as well
as his harried staff. In episode one, we
encounter a food critic who gobbles her
way
through
UNE IN TONIGHT
thousands of dollars of tasting
menus and a rowdy party of table tennis
players.
“Welcome” does a good job illustrating
the difficulties of the high-end service
industry, where you can get a thousand
things right and still suffer for one glaring
error. But it never quite demonstrates why
we should care.
There’s a hint of an entertaining show
here, but “Welcome” goes out of its way
to focus on high-strung drudgery rather
than emphasize “The Love Boat” that it
could be.
• The new six-part series “Mind Control with Derren Brown” (9 p.m., Sci Fi)
straddles the line between magic and conartistry. Brown guesses how much cash
pedestrians have in their wallets just by
looking at them. He sweet-talks three
attractive models by “guessing” the kinds
of pickup lines that melt their hearts and
then proceeds to get perfect strangers to
hand him their wallets, cell phones and
other valuables.
While not an illusionist, Brown uses the
magic of television editing to good effect.
After all, we never see how many guesses
fail or how many strangers tell him to buzz
off.
Brown’s series debuts after the secondseason premiere of “Who Wants to be a
Superhero?” (8 p.m., Sci Fi). Comic-book
creator Stan Lee puts 10 costumed crime
fighters through the paces in this highly
entertaining game of skill, brazen exhibitionism and elimination.
This year’s worthies include a dust-

wins.
busting orphan named Hygena; Basura
the bug wrangler; Braid, a martial artist
who puts her hair extensions to good use;
and Mr. Mitzvah, who employs a Star of
David paddle to repel bullets and mete
out justice.
• The heartbreaking Oscar-winning documentary short “The Blood of Yingzhou
District” (6 p.m., Cinemax) looks at a poor
Chinese village where tainted needles
have infected impoverished peasants who
had resorted to selling their blood for
money.
This 40-minute film reveals peasants
dying of AIDS in the grimmest conditions.
But that pales in comparison to the scenes
of their surviving children, left abandoned
by their families and taunted by neighbors and classmates.
“Blood” is a powerful, unspeakably sad
film about the rawest human experiences
and motivations: fear, ignorance and the
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Before you commit yourself to
any decision, you like to figure
out the exact cost. It’s not the
dollar amount that matters, but
the amount of life you must
exchange for the thing in question.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If
there isn’t any urgency to get
your needs met, there should
be. You’re important, too, you
know. Capricorn and Aries
friends will help you stay
strong.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Just when you think you
can’t possibly do more, you do
more. This only proves that it’s
not a good time to guess how
far you’ll go or what you’ll
accomplish. It is, however, a
good time to keep working.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’re already meeting a loved
one in the middle. Further
compromise could make you
feel resentful. Explain your
position. Chances are, the other
person doesn’t realize what he
or she is asking of you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Others need reassurance of
your love. You have a way of
making your significant ones
feel even more significant —
and you don’t even have to
spend money to do this.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You like to think of the rules
as mere guidelines. Everything
is negotiable. When someone
else you know takes the same
liberty with your rules, you may
start to feel a little differently.

New, exciting ways to earn
money enter your awareness.
You do your best business with

head. You’re captivating either

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Hold
