Site preparation started
for new Lowe’s store
Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s sealed
the deal this week to build a 117,000square-foot store in south Rochester. There’s
work going on at
the site, on St.
Bridget Road near
U.S. 63, but the
company didn’t give
a timeline for
construction and

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

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

first 500 customers at
Macy’s grand opening
at Apache Mall will
receive a $10 Macy’s gift card. A $1,000 gift card
will be given at random to a customer who
spends the $10 gift card on Sept. 9.
Macy’s prices are comparable to Marshall
Field’s, according to Bushaw, but Marshall
Field’s shopper Mary Van Heuklom of
Rochester is wary of Macy’s coming to town.
“I don’t like it,” Van Heuklom said.
“Somehow, I feel that they’re a little high-end
for here, maybe.”
Natalie Kocer of Rochester didn’t seem as
concerned about the change.
“It doesn’t bother me,” she said as she
entered Marshall Field’s last week. “I think
they’re pretty comparable. Macy’s is a new name
to me, and Marshall Field’s is an old name.”
The county studied seven schemes
for building the trail, including various north-and-south alignments and
even converting Mayowood Road for
one-way car traffic.
County Engineer Mike Sheehan said
a north-side alignment was tricky to
consider because there is no room to
build a trail between the road and the
stone wall. And, if the trail were laid
on the far side of the wall, away from
the road, he said, it might be just far
enough off the beaten track to make it
unattractive to the walkers, joggers
and bicyclists it is intended to serve,
he said.
In public meetings in October and
March, south-side residents told offi“We’re looking at this basically as a

President Ford at Mayo

confirmed the former
commander in chief is
being seen at Mayo Clinic, but it

He became president in 1974

accused of killing a tame black bear that
federal officials say he tagged as
killed in the wild. Gentry, of
Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin
Greenly of Sandstone, Minn., are
indicted for conspiring to violate
the Lacey Act by falsely tagging
a tame black bear as killed in

Gerald Ford at Mayo for tests
From staff and wire reports
Satellite trucks converged on
Rochester Tuesday and today to report
on former President Ford’s admission to
Mayo Clinic for unspecified “testing and evaluation.”
Ford’s office released
a statement saying the
93-year-old former chief
executive was admitted
Tuesday, but it disclosed
little else about the
reason for his hospital
stay.
The clinic in
Ford
Rochester offered no
additional details.
Despite the lack of details, television
news stations, such as CNN and Fox
News, broadcast live from Rochester this
morning.
“No further releases or updates are
anticipated prior to early next week,”
according to the statement issued from
Ford’s office in Beaver Creek, Colo. Ford
also has a home in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
Mayo Clinic spokesman John Murphy
confirmed that Ford was admitted
Tuesday but said he had no further information.
A message seeking comment from
Ford’s chief of staff, Penny Circle, was
not immediately returned.
Lee Simmons, a California friend of
the former president, said he heard in
the last two days that Ford was planning
to receive a series of tests for various
“medical problems.” He didn’t have
details but said he believed the tests had
been planned in advance.
“He does have some medical problems
… I did hear that they want to do a series
of tests to make sure he’s OK and
improve his quality of life,” Simmons, of
Palm Desert, said in a telephone interview.

8 youth counselors will lose their jobs
By Jeffrey Pieters
jpieters@postbulletin.com
As many as eight youth counselors at
Many Rivers Juvenile Detention Center
will be laid off next month in an effort
to correct chronic fiscal deficits there.
The regional center, run by Olmsted
County but used by several other counties in the region to temporarily house
juvenile offenders, has lost an estimated
$2 million since it opened in 1997. The
projected deficit this year was $500,000.
Olmsted County was solely responsible for those losses, and county officials met with their counterparts in the
neighboring counties in recent months
to discuss forming cost-sharing partnerships that would have allowed them to
keep the center open without cutting
services.
Because no counties stepped up, the
Olmsted County Board voted 7-0 on
Tuesday to cut eight of the center’s 24
beds — the eight beds making up the
center’s Holdover Program — and a corresponding number of staff members.
Olmsted also will terminate member-
ship contracts with neighboring counties
and raise the nightly rate those counties
are charged to $288, from $215. Olmsted
County’s own rate will rise to $246 per
night.
The steps are intended to cut Many
Rivers’ deficit to a more-acceptable
figure — about $100,000, based on occupancy rates year-to-date.
Recommending staff cuts was not a
painless chore, said Paul Fleissner, the
county’s director of
community services.
“I find it really difficult that we’re in this
position, but that’s what
faces us,” he said. “I
don’t have time to wait
anymore, and I’ve certainly had no takers to
help with the problem.”
Of the eight youth
counselors being laid
Fleissner
off, perhaps three to
five of them can be placed in new jobs
within Olmsted County, Fleissner said.
The remaining ones probably can rely
on a $20,000 severance package, typical
of that given to other employees in
past layoffs, said County Administrator
Richard Devlin. The county board
would have to approve the severance
payments.
Mark Anderson, one of the eight
counselors losing his job, said he is
disappointed and upset after working
for Olmsted County for the past
decade.
“We have a lot of good-quality
people out there, and some of them
are losing their jobs,” Anderson said.
“After 10 years of service to the county,
I’m one of them.”
Despite his greater seniority in various positions in the county government, Anderson, 38, has less seniority
in his current position, and has less
seniority with the union representing
the youth counselors, than most of his
younger co-workers. That’s why he’s
among the eight who are feeling the ax.
The county will close the eight-bed
Holdover Program on Aug. 24, said
Mike Sinner, Many Rivers’ program
manager. It plans to issue a layoff
notice to the eight employees the following day, with those employees scheduled to lose their jobs by Sept. 18.

Simmons said he visited Ford last
week at the former president’s vacation
home in Beaver Creek.
“I just saw him, and he was doing fine.
He’s talking, his mind is sharp … he’s
eating, talking to his family,” Simmons
said.
Ford spent a few days in Colorado’s
Vail Valley Medical Center last month
due to shortness of breath. In January, he
was hospitalized for 12 days in Rancho
Mirage for treatment of pneumonia.
Five years ago, Ford suffered two
small strokes and spent about a week in
a hospital.
Ford became the nation’s oldest living
former president after the death of
Ronald Reagan in 2004.
Ford was House minority leader when
President Nixon chose him to replace
the resigned Spiro Agnew as vice president in 1973. Ford became president on
Aug. 9, 1974, when Nixon resigned amid
the Watergate scandal.

At a Mower County Board meeting on
Tuesday, board member Richard Cummings
said institute officials requested grants from
the county and city at an Aug. 2 presentation
on the expansion. The project, he said, will
add 100 jobs to the northeast Austin institute, which is part of the University of Minnesota.
To submit a calendar item
Randi Kallas, City Editor, 285-7729
e-mail: kallas@postbulletin.com
After the meeting, Cummings said the
institute asked the city and county each for
$500,000.
Hormel Institute hopes the city and county
choose to financially support the expansion,
institute spokeswoman Gail Dennison said
later Tuesday.
“It’s going to be wonderful for the community, and it deserves the community’s support,” Dennison said.
Dennison, who wasn’t at the board
meeting, declined to give the project’s
details. Those will be announced Monday
during the institute’s scheduled groundbreaking ceremony.
The county finance committee will look
into the request and give the board its recommendation, Cummings said.
If the project could bring 100 “prestigious”
jobs to the area, the county should fully look
at the economic-development potential,
board member Garry Ellingson said.
City of Austin staff members are looking at
options to help with the institute’s expansion, Finance Director Tom Dankert said.
Dankert expected to have information
ready for the Austin City Council within a
week or so. A presentation on the Hormel
Institute and its request has been set tentatively for Aug. 28 for the council and Austin
Port Authority, he said.
In late January, Mayo Clinic and the
Hormel Institute announced they soon would
be collaborating on research. The institute
stated then that it was planning a $10 million
to $20 million expansion and adding about
100 researchers to its existing staff of 90.
In the past three years, the institute’s payroll has more than doubled from 40.

DULUTH — Country singer
Troy Lee Gentry appeared in
U.S. District Court in Duluth
Tuesday, accused of killing a
tame black bear that federal
officials say he tagged as
killed in the wild.
Gentry, 39, of Franklin,
Tenn., and Lee Marvin
Greenly, 46, of Sandstone, are
both indicted for conspiring to
violate the Lacey Act by
falsely tagging a tame black
bear as killed in the wild.
Gentry is half of the singing
duo Montgomery Gentry, a top
country act since the late
1990s.
Authorities allege that
Gentry purchased the bear
from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide
who owns the Minnesota
Wildlife connection in Sandstone.
According to the charges,
Gentry shot the bear in an
enclosed pen with a bow and
arrow, then allegedly arranged
for the doctoring of a videotape of the alleged “wild” kill.
Gentry and Greenly made
their initial appearances
Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson

told the officer that Lutzi

complaint said.
Neighbors told investigators they had called 911

came to the door holding the
shotgun, saying someone had
beaten him up and that he
had shot someone, the
neighbor said.
The 16-year-old told officers he saw Lutzi fight with

Lutzi off Krukow and began
fighting with Lutzi. The teen
said that he saw Lutzi

Sanford went toward Lutzi
and punched him in the

by the other two men. Lutzi
ran into his bedroom and
shut the door. The other
three were standing by the
bedroom door. The complaint said Sanford pushed
or kicked the door open to
tell Lutzi they were leaving.
They told police that Lutzi
was standing by his bed,
holding a shotgun pointed
toward the door. The shot
was fired. The teen said he
was about four feet behind
Sanford when the shot was
fired. It missed him. He said
he ran to the neighbors’ residence and told them to call

Authorities said Lutzi lived

CLAREMONT — A judge has
ruled that Ripley Township was
within its powers when it enacted
an ordinance that effectively
blocked a proposed 2,115-cow dairy.
Ripley Dairy had filed suit in
Dodge District Court against the
township over a land use plan and
ordinance passed by the township’s
board in December that restricted
the size of new or expanded feedlots to 1,500 animal units. The suit
alleged that the plan unfairly targeted Ripley Dairy to prevent it
from building.
But 3rd Judicial District Judge
Joseph A. Bueltel last week granted
summary judgment to the township,
denying the dairy’s attempt to override the ordinance.

Man seeks
acquittal on
sex charges
By Janice Gregorson
The attorney for a man
accused of sexually molesting
a teenage girl has moved for a
court order for acquittal.
The motion comes in the
aftermath of a trial in the case
of Jason Dean Ligtenberg that
ended with a hung jury.
Defense attorney Stanley
Nathanson is asking Judge
Jodi Williamson to enter a
judgment of acquittal that
would end the case and preclude the prosecution from
retrial.
When the case went to trial
in late July, jurors deliberated
nearly 13 hours and told the
judge they had been unable to
reach a verdict. Williamson
declared a hung jury and
released them from service. At
the time, Nathanson said he
would file the motion for a
judgment of acquittal. Prosecutor Lisa Swenson said she
would oppose that motion. She
also said she would talk to the
girl Ligtenberg was accused of
molesting before deciding
whether to retry the case with
another jury.
Ligtenberg is charged with
three counts of first-degree
criminal sexual conduct for
allegedly molesting the girl
between 1999 and 2002.
No date has been set for a
hearing on Nathanson’s
motion.
Since the trial, Williamson
also has received a letter from
Swenson saying she was contacted by one of the jurors who
alleged that another juror had
disobeyed her order by
seeking out additional information during deliberations.
Swenson said that juror told
fellow jurors she had contacted a relative who is an
attorney and told him of the
jury’s inability to reach a decision and questioned what
would happen if they couldn’t
come to a verdict. The juror
told others that she was told
that if the jury passed the
judge three notes saying they
were deadlocked, the judge
likely would call the jury hung
and the state would be able to
retry the case.
Swenson told the judge that
the juror who called her felt
the other juror’s actions
impeded their deliberations,
and that that juror was more
interested in sending notes to
the judge and getting home
than in discussing the case.
In this case, the jury was not
sequestered overnight, but was
allowed to go home and return
to court the next day to resume
deliberations. Swenson said in
a letter to the judge that she
wanted her to know the information in case the judge
wanted to pursue civil contempt against the juror, or at
least to understand that in the
future, sequestration might be
appropriate in cases such as
this.
In his motion for acquittal,
Nathanson noted that four of
the jurors were in favor of
acquittal and eight for conviction, and that the eight jurors
indicated they did not feel further deliberations would
enable them to arrive at a verdict.

A local dealer is offering hard to find 2005 Buick LeSabres for as low as $12,995.

For customers who don’t want

economy, the Buick LeSabre offers
the best of both worlds. The LeSabre features Buick craftsmanship at
its best. The design starts with a passenger cabin big enough to allow six
adults to experience thick carpet, fine
upholstery, a premium sound system,
quiet ride, and “catcher’s mitt” seats
that are designed to cradle, hold, and
protect the occupants. The LeSabre
is wrapped in beautifully sculpted
sheet metal that will stay in style for
years to come.
“In terms of value comfort, fuel
efficiency, and reliability, the LeSabre has always been one of our most
popular vehicles,” said Walz Buick
Pontiac GMC owner Butch Walz.
“We were able to make a lot of customers happy when we were able to
offer 2005 LeSabre’s at half price
last winter. Now we’re able to give
families that missed out last time
one more chance to purchase one of
these fine vehicles at a once in a lifetime price.”
With rising gas prices on everyone’s mind, the Buick LeSabre gets
an impressively thrifty 29 mpg highway fuel economy. This is an amazing achievement considering that the
full size, luxurious LeSabre beats out
the compacts Kia Optima, Nissan
Maxima, and Hyundai Sonata.
able to compete? Walz has developed a reputation as one of the top
sellers of “program cars” in the upper midwest. Because of the Winona
dealer’s buying power and nationwide connections, Walz was able to
scour the country and purchase some
of the last 2005 LeSabre’s on the
market, and negotiate an extremely
favorable price.
What are program cars? In short
they are the “cream of the crop” of
a premium rental fleet - vehicles that
are leased through a special program
from the manufacturer. Walz Buick
Pontiac GMC in Winona has quickly
earned a reputation as the areas number one source of low mileage General Motors program vehicles and
rental returns.
“Program cars are a true value
value for the customer,” said Walz
Buick Pontiac GMC Sales Manager
Mike Norris. “The price of the first
year’s depreciation has already been
taken off the car, they all have extremely low mileage, and are still
under factory warranty. Often you
can even get new car interest rates
on these vehicles. Winona customers
have always appreciated the LeSabre, and enjoy a real value. These
program cars have all been under a
very strict maintenance program.
Ad/Feature to sacrifice luxury for the sake of so low, and why aren’t other dealers
Like delicious ice cream on a hot
summer day, 2005 Buick LeSabres
are melting away from the local automotive landscape. Buick stopped
making the LeSabre, one of their all
time favorite models last year. Since
then, buyers have been snapping up
these luxurious, surprisingly fuel efficient favorites at a prodigious pace.
Last winter, a local Winona dealer
made headlines by offering 2005
LeSabres for less than half price.
The promotion was an astounding
success story,with over 100 of these
Buick classics finding homes in local
customer’s garages. Now history is
about to repeat itself.
Walz Buick Pontiac GMC in Winona has been able to make a final
special purchase of hard to find,
impossible to replace, fully equipped
2005 Buick LeSabres and is able to
offer them to the public for as low
as $12,995...the lowest price ever
and well less than half their original
sticker price of $29,016. The Buick
LeSabre was the top selling model
in its class for over 12 years, and
this opportunity gives local customers one more chance to own one of
Buick’s all time best cars...at a once

engines chosen for smoothness, and
controls placed so that they fall intuitively to hand.
The Buick LeSabre’s 3800 Series II V6 engine is a benchmark
for push rod-accentuated, overhead
valve engines. It excels in packing
fuel efficiency (29 mpg highway
fuel economy), smoothness and reliability. This 3.8 Liter V6 engine has
earned a special place in automotive
history. It was named one of the “10
Best Engines of the 20th Century”
by Ward’s autoworld, and there are
good reasons why it deserves such
an honor. The engine generates the
kind of potent energy LeSabre drivers demand to accelerate from a

system detects when one front wheel

orders a series of interventions to help
control the amount of power going to
the spinning tire and regain traction.
With anti-lock brakes,“catcher’s

As for the experience from the

provides a welcome escape from

the big Buicks of old, the modern
LeSabre offers plenty of passenger

and exceptional fuel economy. The
front seats are nicely cushioned and

features well lit, easy to read gauges,
and a Driver’s Information Center

conditions that may require attention.
The driver can also use this feature
to request information on 11 different performance readings, including: instantaneous fuel economy, oil

Rochester fire calls
DM&E subsidiary gets OK
news@postbulletin.com
WASHINGTON — The Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad has a green
light to form a second holding company,
one that will oversee part of its $6 billion
project to bring coal from Wyoming to the
Mississippi River.
One Monday, the federal Surface Transportation Board rejected arguments
lodged by the Mayo Clinic, the city of
Rochester and Olmsted County against
the formation of the new holding company, Wyoming Dakota Railroad Properties, Inc.
The new company is to act as a subsidiary for construction and operation of
280 miles of rail line that DM&E intends
to build to Wyoming’s Powder River
Basin. It will technically become a subsidiary of Cedar American Railroad
Holdings, Inc. which itself is a subsidiary
of the Sioux Falls-based DM&E.
DM&E CEO Kevin Schieffer on
Tuesday issued a statement in which he
called the decision “another step closer
to our goal of creating the best, safest,
most efficient and most modern railroad
in the United States.”
In its filing to the board, and in the
statement on Tuesday, DM&E said the
formation of the subsidy will help it raise
money for the project. It is awaiting a
decision by the Federal Railroad Administration on its application for a $2.5 billion federal construction loan, and said
the new WDR entity will help it raise the
capital needed beyond the federal loan.
The administration has yet to say when it
might rule on the loan application.
“Yesterday’s victory will expand the
universe of investors, and will provide
more flexibility in structuring some of
that $4 billion in private investment,”
Schieffer said.
The overall project previously won construction approval from the board, but it
has been delayed while the DM&E pursues the federal loan and private investment. In addition to building the new
tracks, the railroad plans to rehabilitate
about 1,100 miles of tracks in South
Dakota, Minnesota, including Rochester,
and Iowa.
Mayo Clinic, the city of Rochester, Olmsted County and the Rochester business
community have banded together to
oppose the use of downtown rail lines for
the project, citing fears that increased
train traffic could damage the city's
economy and put Mayo patients and staff
in peril.
In a petition filed with the board, Mayo
argued that the transaction raised questions about the responsibility and
enforceability of environmental conditions imposed on the DM&E previously,
according to the board's printed decision.
The city argued that the new corporate
structure would “radically alter” the
financial analysis of DM&E that was conducted by the board when it approved
the project, and that the new structure
would make DM&E financially unfit to
rehabilitate its lines in Minnesota and
South Dakota. Olmsted County filed
objections similar to the city and Mayo,
the board said.
Separately, the city of Dubuque and the
Dubuque Metropolitan Transportation
Study Area submitted letters voicing concerns about the implementation of environmental conditions.
STB Board Chairman W. Douglas Buttrey in June agreed that DM&E should
address the questions raised about the
financial impact to the company, and
DM&E subsequently argued that the
change would not affect either company's
ability to complete their respective
shares of the project. Moreover, DM&E
and WDR will share sufficient revenues
to service debt, the company said.
The board in its notice on Monday said
the railroad had satisfied the financial
and environmental questions. The creation of WDR “will not affect in any way
the environmental mitigation conditions
we previously imposed. It is also likely to
make the project more viable,” the board
said.

Hutchinson made clear that
his political energy as governor would be focused on
health care reform in his first
legislative session. Controlling costs is important, not
only because the cost of
health care grows by half a

said. The savings also would
be necessary for other initiatives and programs
Hutchinson said he hopes to

“We call health care the

Board amends
definition of bluff
Because of the fragile
nature of bluffs, he said, the
board should consider as
wide a setback as possible.
“The important thing is to
try to maintain a buffer,”
Schlagenhaft said.
Commissioner Eugene T.
McNallan said the recommendation to change the minimum setback to 20 feet came
from a Twin Cities attorney
hired by the county to review
the zoning ordinance.
McNallan was the only
commissioner still supportive
of the recommendation after
the hearing, although one
commissioner was absent.
McNallan said he didn’t think
it would make any difference
if the setback was changed to
20 feet.

Creatures of the hack ‘Laguna’

Thomas Joseph
United Feature Syndicate
“Laguna Beach: The Real Orange
County” (9 p.m., MTV) enters its third
season tonight, promising more drama,
intrigue and scenes of up-talking
shopaholic teens using the word
“random” inappropriately. Teenage
girls with names like Tessa, Kyndra,
Cami and Lexie live on camera and
share all of their dreams and schemes.
Most of these plans appear to
involve making other girls miserable
or stealing their boyfriends, or pretending to steal their boyfriends. When
not arranging their “love” lives like
the board game Risk or the plot to
“Dangerous Liaisons,” these girls
throw parties and wonder who will be
the most hurt by not getting invited.
When I was in my teens, I got around
on something called a Schwinn, spent a
lot of time playing Risk and passed my
idle hours at something we once
referred to as “a job.” These kids drive
imported luxury cars and charge endless lunches at what look like fancy
bars and restaurants.
The guys, or rather dudes, on
“Laguna” behave in a more timeless
manner. They spend a lot of time worrying about their band, their sports or
themselves. Sometimes they blurt out
things that make the girls upset without
really knowing why.
Like nearly every teen on “Laguna,”
Tessa has the emotional hide and attitude of a woman twice her age, one
who has gone through at least three
divorces. This is deeply sad, but not
terribly interesting. The utter fakeness
of “Laguna” and imitators like “One
Ocean View” also demonstrates how
the documentary form has surpassed
scripted television in formulaic predictability. After all, viewers turned to
“The Real World” because teen dramas
like “Beverly Hills, 90210” had become
soap operas starring 30-year-old actors
Days” (9 p.m., FX).
• On a similar theme, “Try My Life”
(7 p.m., r, Style) invites husbands, wives,
kids and parents to learn to walk a
mile, or at least spend three days, in
the other’s shoes. In tonight’s episode, a
stay-at-home mother of three trades
daily routines with her therapist husband. After 11 years of marriage, he
thinks she has it easy and that he is
carrying the weight. Will three days
change his perspective?
Other highlights

There has been an amicable resolution in the
couple’s divorce case,

lawyers for Sheen and
Richards announced
Monday after meeting with a judge in chambers.
No judgment has been entered in the divorce.
Issues before the court were resolved during the meeting
with Superior Court Judge Marjorie Steinberg, said Lance
Spiegel, a lawyer for Sheen, and Neal R. Hersh, a lawyer for
Richards.
The lawyers wouldn’t elaborate on the issues resolved
Monday. They also refused to say whether a restraining order
Richards obtained against Sheen in April remained in effect.
Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, after three years
of marriage.
A Sept. 12 hearing that had been scheduled for a child
custody evaluation will not be held and there are no future
court dates, Hersh said.

TOMORROW (Aug. 17)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s
times like this that you realize how
important it is to hang out with
people you admire. The vocabulary, aspirations and general tone
of those in your environment have
an impact on your decisions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
develop financial muscle tone by
resisting temptation to spend
needlessly, but that doesn’t
answer the million-dollar question:
Should you upgrade your computer now or not? Figure this out
later in the week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
have what it takes to make it in
the most competitive realm you’ve
ever dared enter. It’s smart to take
advantage of training and
retraining programs offered at
company expense.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s
not such a bad thing to lose your
self-discipline about now. You
probably need the rest. Dare to do
something really outrageous, like
take a nap right in the middle of
the day!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
find yourself engaged in a fascinating struggle with that someone
who has the temperament of a
teakettle. The obvious thing to do
is to turn off the heat, let things
steep for a while, and then enjoy a
nice drink together.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
hardly ever relax enough to know
boredom. You won’t get there
today either, but it’s something to
aspire to in the near future. Do
what you can to lighten your load.
The most amazing stuff comes to
you when you’re stress-free.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Those people who magnify tiny
errors and turn them into big
issues really get tiresome. You
have the opposite strategy, and it
suits you well. Set the tone by
ignoring matters of little consequence.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You don’t have to fight so hard to
hold on to what you already have.
If it’s really yours, it’ll stick with you.
Build a more empowering thought
process. What’s yours is yours for
a reason.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You probably won’t have the
meeting you planned, and it’s
difficult to chat with all the people
on your list. Who needs
conversation when you can speak
with a more powerful
communicator ... your actions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The reason there’s no pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow is
because the gold is in the middle
-- which is exactly where you are
today. Embrace this interesting
midpoint in a project, and spend a
little of the loot today, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may realize that the challenge
you have before you is really more
like a teacher. From this point of
view, you’re more willing to be
molded by it. Today’s lesson is on
the topic of “surrender.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You need a solution. Though there
are wise people around you now,
none of them are better suited to
solving your problem than you. If
your conscious mind doesn’t know
what to do, your unconscious
mind does. Just ask it.

Wal-Mart profit falls for first time in 10 years
The world’s largest retailer stumbled for the first time in
a decade Tuesday, posting a profit decline after paying a
hefty price for closing its loss-making German stores.
High energy prices, which boosted Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s
sales and costs in the U.S., had a hand in the lower earnings, too.
Customers saved gas by making fewer shopping trips.
Wal-Mart’s own fuel and utilities bills rose, also. Chief Executive Lee Scott said sales were disappointing at Wal-Mart’s
U.S. stores, its largest division.
Results fell in line with expectations and the company
reaffirmed its guidance for the year, but analysts questioned whether a third-quarter forecast on the low end of
expectations meant the company could meet its target for
the year. Wal-Mart’s stock fell 73 cents, or 1.6 percent to
$44.37 in late morning trading on the New York Stock
Exchange.
The company forecast third-quarter earnings between 59
cents and 63 cents per share, compared with the average
analyst estimate of 63 cents. It reiterated a full-year forecast
of $2.88 to $2.95 per share, while analysts were predicting
$2.92 per share.
Northwest, mechanics union still at odds
MINNEAPOLIS — A meeting between Northwest Airlines Corp. and its striking mechanics union failed to produce an agreement on Tuesday, but both sides pledged to
look for a way to resolve the dispute that began almost a
year ago.
Northwest hired replacement mechanics and farmed
other work out to contractors after its union mechanics,
cleaners and custodians walked out last August. But the
Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association has remained on
strike, and some members still picket.
The union called Tuesday’s meeting “an effort to resolve
outstanding issues that are of mutual interest to both parties. The Company took our concerns and indicated they
would get back to us sometime next week but made no
other commitments.”
Northwest said it met at the union’s request and it would
“continue to explore whether there is a mutually acceptable way to resolve the ongoing labor dispute.” However, it
said that any solution will not impact the replacement
workers it hired.
In December, union members rejected an agreement that
would have classified them as laid off instead of striking, so
they could collect unemployment benefits. It also would
have included one month of severance pay.
Textbook company sells ads to lower prices
Selling ad space keeps newspapers, magazines, Web sites
and television either cheap or free. But so far, the model
hasn’t spread to college textbooks — partly for fear that faculty would consider ads undignified. The upshot is that
textbooks now cost students, according to various studies,
about $900 per year.
Now, a small Minnesota startup is trying to shake up the
status quo in the $6 billion college textbook industry. Freeload Press will offer more than 100 titles this fall — mostly
for business courses — completely free. Students, or
anyone else who fills out a five-minute survey, can download a PDF file of the book, which they can store on their
hard drive and print.
St. Paul-based Freeload’s numbers are modest so far:
25,000 users have registered and 50,000 books have been
downloaded, for courses at schools ranging from community colleges to the University of Michigan. But the company says it is rapidly adding titles and will have 250,000
textbooks and study aids in circulation by next year. It has
also signed agreements with three small, specialty publishers to make their textbooks available the same way and
is in negotiations with others.

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

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

‘Re-elect’ complaint disingenuous Nelson’s language deceptive
For all the talk that Republicans are
about to experience electoral defeat at all
levels of government, liberals don’t seem all
that confident they will sweep the
November elections.
I say that because of the latest faux campaign controversy that seems to have
gripped southeastern Minnesota. DFL Rep.
Tina Liebling and her liberal supporters
are fit to be tied over “Re-elect Carla
Nelson” campaign signs. According to their
delusional argument, Nelson is pretending
to be the incumbent in order to deceive District 30A voters into “re-electing” her. How
dumb do DFLers think District 30A voters
are? In the current climate, what advantage
is there to falsely claim to be an incumbent
anything?
Questioning Nelson’s honesty is a cleverly
disingenuous way to deflect attention from
the freshman DFL representative’s
mediocre record in the Legislature.
There is no anti-incumbency talk from
DFL activists regarding the Minnesota
House races in Districts 27B, 30A and 30B
since their candidates are the incumbents.
Their anti-incumbency bravado, vitriol and
slander are reserved for 1st District Congressman Gil Gutknecht.
Instead of quibbling over the meaning of
the term “re-elect,” Tina Liebling and her
supporters should explain why she should
be re-elected when the first government
shutdown in Minnesota history happened on
her watch, why she consistently votes for tax
increases and why she is lax regarding the
enforcement of our immigration laws.
Othelmo da Silva
Rochester
It’s legal, but it’s not ethical
Mae West said, “I don’t care what you
write about me as long as you spell my
name correctly.”
At the Rochesterfest parade, Carla
Nelson supporters were given ample
warning that her signs were going to cause
controversy. What would it have taken to
cover up two letters — “re” with paint, a
sticker or even duct tape? Why wasn’t this
done? Is it because they hoped to mislead
the voters into thinking that it was Carla
Nelson and not Tina Liebling, who had
accomplished so much the last two years?
She might be legally correct. I don’t
believe she is morally or ethically correct,
so I’ll base my vote on that. And I’ve
spelled her name correctly.
Genny Rice
Rochester
‘Re-elect’ is accurate for signs
I can only assume that Kathy Castrovinci
(Letters to the editor Aug. 10) is a relative
newcomer to Rochester. Carla Nelson was
the state representative for House District
30A until she was defeated in a rather
nasty campaign by Tina Liebling in 2004.
Therefore, it is entirely accurate for her
signs to say “re-elect Carla Nelson For
State Representative.” Just wanting to set
the record straight.

will be used to maintain the trail and that
our chances of obtaining state funding to
complete the trail will be greatly increased.
Both legislators also secured a second
round of funding for the Chester Woods
Trail, which will link the outskirts of
Rochester to Chester Woods and then connect to the city of Eyota and beyond.
Welti’s opponent was unable to secure
funding or designation for the trails when
he was in office.

Carla Nelson’s response to allegations of
deceptive campaign practices by putting up
old campaign signs was that it would be
“wasteful” to throw out hundreds of lawn
signs over terminology that she has been told
was correct. This suggests Nelson is merely
using these signs because she had them lying
around, not because she is trying to incorrectly insinuate she is the incumbent.
This is Nelson’s third campaign for the
same seat. The first time she ran her signs
did not say “re-elect.”
If she wants to reuse signs she could reuse
her signs from the first campaign. Based on
her own assertion, she must agree that
printing new signs for her second campaign
was throwing out hundreds of signs over terminology. The cost and waste didn’t seem to
trouble her then.
If Nelson wants to claim that she believes
putting these signs up is correct, so be it. But
to claim she has engaged in this activity to
conserve resources is disingenuous. Again,
Nelson is engaging in the kind of deception
that is the reason our community should REELECT Tina Liebling.

Our word counts in America
America is great place, and politics in
action is awesome. I had the opportunity to
serve as a delegate to the Republican Party
Endorsement Convention for District 28.
I consider our country to be blessed, where
freedom of expression and the vote of the
people count. Delegates were called to vote
numerous times until a candidate had the
votes needed for the endorsement.
The challenge came when a candidate
sought to withdraw his name from the vote
after the chair of the convention called the
floor for what turned out to be the final vote.
It is unique in this country so grand that
one can approach the floor in the midst of a
final vote and, in such a system of tolerance,
grant this candidate from withdrawing his
name from the Senate nomination.
The candidate for the Republican nomination was confirmed by the vote of the delegates. What an honor to cast that vote.
America is a country of free expression,
and in this convention, freedom came in the
expression of voting.
I am honored to be able have served in
this process where words are true and the
voice of the people count by voting. Thanks
Minnesota and America for the freedom to
speak and to be a part of what makes this
country great — our word.

Rubin understands bigger picture
I encourage the citizens of Rochester to
get to know Cory Rubin, a candidate for City
Council (Ward 3, Northwest). Cory creatively
formulates and implements ideas.
Part of Cory’s campaign is to promote
public awareness and energy efficiency. Cory
planned and drummed up support for a
group bicycle ride from northwest Rochester
to the Downtown Farmers’ Market to promote energy-efficient transportation of
people and food. Cory has spoken to local
growers, and they agree a year-round market
is needed, which Cory intends to continue
exploring, with a possible peripheral location in Ward 3.
As an educator, Cory Rubin is resourceful,
innovative and well-informed, always
seeking an effective, efficient approach to
present a concept for prime success in
learning by his students. As a scientist, Cory
approaches issues logically and with an
understanding of the bigger picture in which
an issue fits. These daily practices for Cory’s
life, both in and out of the classroom, poise
him as a prime city council member.
Cory will benefit the council with his
resourceful, well-researched approach to
issues, and he will benefit the public by
increasing awareness and implementation of
issues important to Rochester citizens.
Get involved to help Cory work for “… a
Brighter, Greener Rochester.”

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

to …?” Flashback is dedicated to answering those questions.

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

New York City to release more 9/11 calls
NEW YORK — The city planned today to release more
than 1,600 undisclosed Sept. 11 emergency calls — several
by rescuers who later were killed — after fire department officials said they discovered the internal dispatches of firefighters who went to rescue people from
the burning World Trade Center.
The New York Times and families of Sept. 11 victims
had sued the city for access to firefighters’ oral histories
and 911 calls made from and around the site on the day
of the terrorist attacks in 2001.
The transcripts of about 130 emergency calls from
people trapped in the twin towers were released earlier
this year, only including the voices of the city operators,
emergency responders and other public employees. The
callers’ voices were cut out after city attorneys argued
that their pleas for help were too emotional and intense
to be publicized without families’ consent. Thousands of
pages of emergency workers’ oral histories, as well as
radio transmissions, were released last August.
Pastor’s wife released on $750,000 bond
SELMER, Tenn. — A minister’s wife accused of shooting
her husband to death after the two argued over money
was released from jail Tuesday on $750,000 bond.
Mary Winkler, 32, is charged with killing Matthew Winkler on March 22 at their church parsonage in Selmer,
about 80 miles east of Memphis.
She was arrested the following day in
Alabama, where she had taken the
couple three young daughters, and has
been behind bars on a charge of firstdegree murder since then. Her trial is
scheduled for October.
As part of her bond, Winkler is
required to live with friends in McMinnville, 65 miles southeast of Nashville,

“Her emotional state is fragile,” attorney Steve Farese

In a statement to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Winkler said she shot her husband after a night of

Carter’s son wins Nevada Senate primary
RENO, Nev. — Jimmy Carter’s son, Jack Carter, won the
Democratic nomination Tuesday to face Republican U.S.
Sen. John Ensign in November in Nevada.
Carter claimed 78 percent of the vote
in early returns to defeat political
unknown Ruby Jee Tun of Carson City, a
middle school science teacher. Ensign
won with 90 percent of the vote over Ed
“Fast Eddie” Hamilton of Las Vegas, a
former Chrysler Corp. supervisor.
Carter, an investor who moved to
Nevada three years ago, said he’d use his
extensive business and political contacts
in the upcoming fight with Ensign.
Carter
“I was a member of the first family.
I know a lot of the senators who are in
office already. I’ve got business contacts around the
country and around the world and those are the kind of
things that I view as bringing something to Nevada,”
Carter said.
TV stations queried over ‘fake news’ releases
WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission has mailed letters to the owners of 77 television
stations inquiring about their use of video news releases,
a type of programming critics refer to as “fake news.”
Video news releases are packaged news stories that
usually employ actors to portray reporters who are paid
by commercial or government groups.
FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein said Tuesday
the letters ask station managers for information
regarding agreements between the stations and the creators of the news releases. The FCC also asked whether
there was any “consideration” given to the stations in
return for airing the material.
“You can’t tell any more the difference between what’s
propaganda and what’s news,” Adelstein said.
The probe was sparked by a study of newsroom use of
material provided by public relations firms. The study,
entitled “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed,”
was compiled by the Center for Media and Democracy, a
Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization that monitors the
public relations industry.
Actor remembered for sidekick roles
LOS ANGELES — Bruno Kirby, a veteran character
actor known for playing the best friend in two of Billy
Crystal’s biggest comedies “When Harry Met Sally” and
“City Slickers,” has died. He was 57.
Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles
from complications related to leukemia,
his wife Lynn Sellers said in a statement
Tuesday. He had been recently diagnosed
with the disease.
Born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu in
1949 in New York City, he was the son of
actor Bruce Kirby. His early work
included the 1971 film “Young Graduates,” as well as appearances on the television show “Room 222” and the madefor-TV movie “The Summer Without
Kirby
Boys.”
Other film credits included “Good Morning, Vietnam,”
“The Godfather: Part II” and “Donnie Brasco.” More
recently, he played Phil Rubenstein on the HBO series
“Entourage.”
Thieves steal church’s kitchen sink
GREENWOOD, S.C. — Thieves stole almost nothing but
the kitchen sink from a church after the restaurant-style,
stainless steel basin was left outside during renovations.
“We were just giving the painters enough room to
work,” said the Rev. Wilbert Simpson of the Calvary
Grove Baptist Church. “It’s sad to think ... that someone
would come on God’s grounds to steal something.”
The sink was left behind a building during renovations
to a fellowship hall, and Simpson said someone noticed it
was missing over the weekend. A cake warmer was also
taken.
Simpson said two weeks ago someone threw rocks
through church windows.
“We’ve been having a time lately,” he said. “We are in a
secluded-type area, but there are houses all around us. I
think (the stolen sink) is more mischief than anything
else.” The church is offering a reward for information on
the theft.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS
ACT scores

tests scored high enough to predict they will
make good grades in college courses.
ST. PAUL — While Minnesota students
again led the nation on ACT college-entrance
exam scores, a top state education official
says there are signs that students need more
challenging work in high school — especially
in math and science.
According to the newly released 2006 figures, Minnesota came out slightly ahead of
Iowa and Wisconsin among states where
more than half of the graduating seniors took
the test.
Minnesota students had an average score of
22.3 out of a maximum 36. The national
average score was 21.1. Minnesota students
also led the nation in ACT performance last
year and tied for first in 2004.
Nationwide, the high school class of 2006
posted the biggest score increase on the ACT
college entrance exam in 20 years, and
recorded the highest scores of any class since
1991. While most college-bound Minnesota
students take the ACTs, the SATs are more
commonly taken by students applying to colleges on the East or West coasts.
Although Minnesota Office of Higher Education director Susan Heegaard was pleased
with the results, she saw some warning signs.
Heegaard noted that only 28 percent of the
41,650 Minnesota students who took the ACT
“Once again, this is great news,” Heegaard
said. “But we have some work to do if we
want to compete in this global environment.
If you talk to employers, they say they are
increasingly recruiting students from around
the world.”

There’s also a question of how much importance high test scores have when students are
being considered for admittance to college.
Some colleges no longer require applicants
to submit test scores.
Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter
decided last spring not to require college
entrance tests beginning with the 2007-08
school year. Gustavus officials reasoned that
test scores don’t always predict how well a
student will do in college.
Both high schools and colleges are trying to
groom well-rounded students.
“I think the emphasis is less (on test scores)
and more on looking at the wider abilities
and skills of the students,” said Kevin Hogan,
assistant director of guidance counselingrelated services for St. Paul schools.
“I think there’s a greater acceptance in
terms of looking at students for who they are
and their potential as opposed to their performance on tests.”
ENTERTAINMENT SPENDING
Attendance
falls at most
state fairs
By Monica Davey
New York Times News Service
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The cacophony
of smells — waves of manure, tractor
fuel, all things deep fried — signaled
the opening of the state fair here on
Friday. Piglets squealed in a pen, sheep
tolerated last-minute haircuts, and
dutiful ponies stepped around a wheel
in slow motion, bearing children on
their backs.
But attendance has dropped sharply
in recent years, as it has at other state
fairs in the nation’s midsection.
An auditor general’s report found that
the Illinois fair spent millions of dollars
more than it brought in last year, as it
had in years past.
Elsewhere, the problems have grown
severe enough to lead political leaders
to question the spending of tax dollars
to keep the fairs afloat.
“Nothing is forever,” said William M.
Napoli, a state senator in South Dakota,
where a legislative committee concluded this year that the state fair’s fate
appeared bleak and where some lawmakers want it abolished.
“We’re trying to keep a dinosaur alive
that’s probably outlived its purpose,”
Napoli, of Rapid City, said.
Though critics say slipping attendance
figures and increasing subsidies show
that fairs have lost their role in an era
where entertainment can be found
almost around every corner, defenders
point to their original purposes, to teach

about farming and industry and stir a
sense of community.
Many state fairs say they remain successful.
Among them, according to Jim D.
Tucker, president and chief executive of
the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions, are fairs in Minnesota,
Iowa, Indiana, Georgia and Washington.
Tucker’s group is a 116-year-old organization that mainly represents 1,300
state, county and other agricultural
fairs.
Skeptics theorize that the struggling
fairs are merely facing up, at last, to the
swirl of options like casinos, water
parks, sprawling movie complexes,
malls, theme parks and sports parks.
Attendance at the Oregon fair dipped
10 percent last year, in addition to 10
percent in 2004, even as repair and
maintenance backlogs at the fairgrounds
climbed, by some estimates to $18 million.
“It’s a classic marketing and business
problem,” the Oregon fair manager,
Dave Koellermeier, said. “The product
that you’re selling was losing appeal.”
Tucker questioned that broad,
changing economic factors are harming
fairs and said management problems
might help explain certain troubled
fairs. Besides, he added, fairs have been
through ebbs and flows of popularity
before, and many have long received
financial assistance from states.
“The bottom line of why I think fairs
have a bright future is animals,” Tucker
said. “This generation that’s growing up
right now probably have seen more zoo
animals than farm animals.”

In the hope of ending years
of wrangling, a committee of
astronomers and historians
has proposed a new definition of the word “planet” that
would expand at a stroke the
family of planets from nine to
12 and leave textbooks and
charts in thousands of classrooms out of date.
But astronomers immediately began to wrangle about
it.
“It’s a mess,” said Michael
E. Brown, of the California
Institute of Technology.
Among the chosen few
within the solar system would
be not only Pluto, whose
status has been challenged in
recent years, but also Ceres,
the largest asteroid; 2003
UB313, nicknamed Xena, an
object discovered by Brown
in 2005 orbiting far beyond
Pluto in the outer solar
system; and even Pluto’s
largest moon, Charon.
In addition, at least a dozen
more solar system objects are
waiting in the wings for more
data to see if they fit the new
definition of planethood,
which is that an object be
massive enough that gravity
has formed it into a sphere
and that it circles a star and
not some other planet.
The definition, they said,
would apply both inside and
outside the solar system.
The new definition was to
be announced today in
Prague, Czech Republic,
where some 2,500
astronomers are meeting in
the triannual assembly of the
International Astronomical
Union. It is the work of the
group’s Planet Definition
Committee, whose chairman
is Owen Gingerich, a Harvard
astronomer. The astronomers
will vote on the definition on
Aug. 25.
“This will be the talk of the
town in Prague,” said Alan P.
Boss, a planetary theorist at
the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, who said the
new definition, with four
paragraphs and four footnotes, read as if it had been
written by lawyers, not scientists. “I don’t think this is the
one were looking for,” Boss
said.

TEHRAN, Iran — Israel and
Hezbollah dealt each other serious
blows on the battlefield and claimed
success afterwards but the real winners
could be Iran and Syria.
Buoyed by the ability of ally
Hezbollah to stand up to Israel’s punishing assaults for 34 days, leaders in
Tehran and Damascus were jubilant.
Both ridiculed U.S. hopes for eliminating Hezbollah and claimed Israel’s
high-tech military was useless against
the guerrillas.
Hezbollah didn’t come out of the war
unscathed as a fighting force — the
Israeli
army
said it
killed
530 of the guerrillas — and its domination of southern Lebanon is likely to be
hampered by the deployment of the
Lebanese army and international troops
there.
But the popularity of the Shiite
Muslim movement appears to have been
strengthened thanks to broadened support across Lebanon’s ethnic and religious communities.
Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad saluted Hezbollah on
Tuesday for hoisting “the banner of victory” over Israel.
“God’s promises have come true,”
Ahmadinejad told a huge crowd in
Arbadil in northwestern Iran. “On one
side, it’s corrupt powers of the criminal
U.S. and Britain and the Zionists ... with
modern bombs and planes. And on the
other side is a group of pious youth
relying on God.”
And Syrian President Bashar Assad
said Hezbollah had ruined U.S. plans to
reshape the region. “The Middle East
they (the Americans) aspire to ... has
become an illusion,” he said in Damascus.
“We tell them (Israelis) that after
tasting humiliation in the latest battles,

even your nuclear bombs ... The future

nuclear program, and the stronger that
Iran is seen to be, the more nervous its
regional rivals get.
“Both Syria and Iran have achieved a
political victory,” said Dawood alShirian, a Saudi who hosts a talk show
on Dubai television. “Lebanon once
again has paid a heavy price, and Syria
and Iran have once again taken credit.”
Arab, U.S. and Western diplomats generally snubbed Syria during negotiations over halting the Lebanon fighting,
but they might have to turn to the
Syrian regime in the next big tussle, the
issue of disarming Hezbollah.
Iran might also feel its bargaining
hand has become stronger as it
approaches the Aug. 31 deadline set by
the U.N. Security Council for a halt in
Iranian uranium enrichment. Iran says
it will announce Aug. 22 its reply to a
package of incentives offered by the
U.S. and Europe aimed at enticing it to
suspend enrichment.
A strong Hezbollah gives Syria a
window to regain influence it lost in
Lebanon last year when international
pressure forced it to withdraw its troops
from Lebanon after a 29-year presence.
Syria, in turn, may feel it can play a
more influential role after years of isolation. It had been under even more
international pressure since last year’s
assassination of former Lebanese Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri, which was widely
blamed on Syria despite its denials.
In his speech, Assad lashed out at
Arab regimes that criticized Hezbollah
for capturing two Israeli soldiers July 12
and setting off the war. Saudi Arabia,
Egypt and Jordan — all U.S. allies —
opposed Hezbollah’s actions at the start
of the conflict.
Mostly Shiite, Persian Iran might also
try to ride the increased popularity of
the Shiite Arabs of Hezbollah to make
inroads with the Arab world’s Sunni

to Majuro, the islands’ capital, in 10 to 14 days.
“We fished, and we ate the
fish raw ... because there
was no fire to cook with,”
survivor Jesus Vidana, 27,
told Mexico’s Televisa news
network in a telephone
hook-up to the ship’s communications system.
They once went 15 days
without food but had enough
drinking water because “it
rained every day,” he said.
He said the three read the
Bible as they drifted across
the Pacific.
“We never lost hope
because there is a God up
there,” he said, sounding
hoarse and sleepy. “Our feet
are swollen, our arms are
swollen ... but we’re not in
that bad shape.”
Vidana said he and the
other two men set off on Oct.
28, 2005, from San Blas, a
coastal town about 410 miles
northwest of Mexico City, to
fish for sharks. But mechanical problems and adverse
winds quickly pushed their
27-foot boat out to sea.
“It was nine months and
nine days,” Vidana recalled.
“One of the guys on the boat
“I knew I was going
to live, that I wasn’t
going to die.”
— Lucio Rendon
has a watch that shows the
months and the days.”
There was no independent
confirmation of the date
when the men set out from
San Blas; phone calls to port
officials there went unanswered.
However, the government
news agency Notimex interviewed relatives of the men
in San Blas, who said they
had only been missing for
three months.
Muller said the men’s boat
appeared to have had
engine problems.
“Their two motors had
been dismantled, and it
seemed they were trying to
swap parts to get one
working,” Muller said,
noting that the ship’s captain
had told him “they were
very skinny and they were
very hungry. The first thing
we did, we gave them something to eat and they chowed
down.”
Survivor Lucio Rendon,
27, recalled that “we didn’t
see any ships for months,”
and Vidana said they were
asleep when the Koo’s crew
called out to them.
“We’re recovering,”
Rendon said, “sleeping a lot,
and eating well.”
Salvador Ordonez, the
third survivor, said the three
carried only flashlights and
a compass but no radio.
Still, he said, “I knew I
was going to live, that I
wasn’t going to die.”

How was it working with the
snakes of this movie?
I’m fine with snakes. Fortunately for
me, when things start happening,
when the snakes originally show up
on the plane, I’m kind of upstairs.
When I come down, the snakes are in
one part of the plane and I herd people out of there and block that part of
the plane off, so I very seldom come
in contact with them. My agent didn’t
let them put live snakes close to me.
You didn’t trust the snake trainer?
He’s a snake handler. He’s a snake
wrangler. There’s no such thing as a
snake trainer. You can’t teach a snake
to roll over and sit up. They just don’t
take orders. Who trusts that?

Snakes
on a screen
McClatchy Newspapers
Mankind’s fear of reptiles has
been exploited by filmmakers
since the beginning of film; even
heroic adventurer Indiana Jones
turned out to be snake-phobic.
Naturally, he was forced to confront his worst fears to save
Marion Ravenwood from the
snake pit in which she found herself in 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost
Ark.”
The fear has also been more
directly addressed in a number
of films that state the name of
the terror in their titles.
“Anaconda” (1997): The studio
found itself with a surprise hit on
its hands with this adventure
thriller about a National Geographic crew in the Amazon who
is essentially hijacked by snakeobsessed, overacting Jon Voight,
who gets them all in a beef with
the 40-foot member of the boa
family of the title. Begat a less
star-studded sequel, 2004’s “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Black
Orchid.”
“King Cobra” (1999): One of the
various attempts to cash in on
the success of “Anaconda,” this
one starred not only the late Pat
Morita but also Hoyt Axton, the
writer of “Joy to the World,” as
small-towners terrorized by a 30foot mutated blend of cobra and
diamondback. Like 2000’s
“Python,” written by Philip Roth
— not that one, of course — this
would slither straight to video
and cable TV.
“Rattlers” (1976): The snakes
weren’t born bad in this Mojave
Desert-set take; they were just
infected by nerve gas dumped by
the U.S. military.
“Venomous” (2002): More
mutant rattlers, escaped from a
government lab targeted by terrorists and inflicting serious
damage on the residents of a California burg. Not to be confused
with . . .
“Venom” (1981): Terrorists are
the true bad guys here. They
bungle an attempt to kidnap the
child of a wealthy London couple
and accidentally unleash the
boy’s pet black mamba, who
makes no distinction between
hostage-takers and hostages. The
reptile-like Klaus Kinski is in the
cast of this British thriller.

TIP of the DAY
Here are five handy ways
to reuse a clean, foam egg
carton: Store small earrings (separated by color
or size); store golf balls;
start vegetable seeds (fill
each cup with a little dirt,
add seed and water as
needed); use to separate
craft items (beads or
sequins), and put in a desk
drawer to hold paper clips
and staples.

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

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

Here is an
easy way —
maybe — to get
your children
to eat some vegetables. This
makes a great
snack, even a
lunch. This
recipe can
easily be
halved.
On Monday my school-age children
planned to go canoeing down the river. This
was a school-sponsored event for students
that wanted to go. The river runs behind the
school.
I decided to take the children but we
didn’t get very far. We had just turned out of
our driveway and onto the road when a
buggy brace snapped by the shaft. This then
left the one end loose from the buggy. I was
just ready to urge the horse into a run when
I happened to see the shaft coming loose. I
tried to get the horse stopped and then
jumped off the buggy.
Our horse, “Itty Bit,” was shook up as I
imagine she knew something wasn’t right. I
helped her while the children all got off the
buggy. Elizabeth and I unhitched her from
the buggy and Elizabeth led her to the barn
while the other children and I pulled the
buggy off the road. It wasn’t too easy pulling
the buggy with only one side attached. We
were all shook up to think what could’ve
happened had we been going down a hill or
out on a busy road. If that had happened on
a hill, that could make a horse start kicking
and also to have the buggy ramming into
their back.
My husband Joe will take our buggy to the
buggy shop to have it fixed. He’s also going to
have brakes put on right away. That will help
if something like that happens again we will
be able to brake the buggy.
On Friday the school is taking students to
the zoo. Ours are going and I am going as a
chaperone. I asked if I could bring four-yearold Joseph along and they said yes. My
youngest, Lovina and Kevin, will stay at my
sisters that day. Joseph is so excited to get to
ride in a school bus and go to the zoo.

Another
quick and easy
recipe sure to
appeal to
everyone is this
main dish, also
made with
hamburger but
would work
well with
ground turkey
too. For busy
cooks, note that
this can be
made up in the
morning and
baked later in
the day.
Sloppy Joes
Everyday he asks me if he can still go and
asks if he can wear his new pants and shirt.
Joseph is such a neat little boy. He won’t
wear a shirt if a button is missing. He doesn’t
like it if his pants have a hole in them either.
I guess that way I keep getting my mending
done sooner. Seven year old Benjamin is
exactly the opposite. He doesn’t care what I
give him to wear. It’s surprising how siblings
can be so different.
Two-year-old Lovina is going through a
stage where she repeats everything she
hears. Joseph gets so annoyed when she
always repeats what he says and does. Now
Lovina is starting to complain about her
dress when Joseph does about his shirt.
Joseph tells her to quit copying him and she
just laughs. It is cute to hear them carry a
conversation.
Try this recipe for a good, easy lasagna.

Life
Woman upset that daughter kept abortion from her
DEAR ANNIE: I just learned that
my 21-year-old daughter had an
abortion. She has been dating a guy
for about a year, but I know she is
thinking about breaking up with
him.
I found out about the abortion by
pure coincidence. I wasn’t snooping
around. I am saddened and hurt by
the fact that my daughter didn’t
have the courage to tell me about it.
Until now, I thought we were really
close. My daughter knows she can
come to me with all her problems. I
am very understanding.
Do you think I should confront
her, or should I keep my mouth shut
and pretend I don’t know? I am
really -- Confused and Hurt in
N.Y.C.
DEAR CONFUSED: We don’t think
“confront” is the right attitude. An
abortion is a serious decision, and
we are sure it is one your daughter
did not reach easily. It serves no
purpose to be judgmental, upset or
disappointed now. When you have a
quiet moment with your daughter,
tell her that you found out about the
abortion, and ask if she wants to
talk about it. If she says no, leave it
alone. If she does open up, try to be
as supportive as possible. She needs
you, Mom.
DEAR ANNIE: I met “Craig”
three years ago. We both are in our
50s, and each of us is divorced with
grown children. We have been
living together for nearly two years,
and we have a very loving relationship. But there is one thing that
bothers me.
Whenever there is an attractive
woman in sight, Craig always checks
her out. On occasion, he also flirts. I
have told him many times that this
hurts me and is disrespectful. He
has improved a bit, but not enough.
I know Craig would never cheat
on me, but this “looking” bothers
me so much that I am thinking of
moving out. Am I being ridiculous?
I need advice on how to handle this.
-- Sad in California
DEAR SAD: How much “looking”
are we talking about? It is perfectly
natural for guys to check out an
attractive woman, and it means
nothing. Flirting is a more serious
infraction. Some men have a flirtatious nature and they charm
everyone -- male or female. But if
Craig is turning it on just for goodlooking women, you have a legitimate reason to ask him to knock it
off. If he won’t, it means he is still
playing the field, and you are better
off moving out and keeping your distance.
DEAR ANNIE: When I read the
letter from “Damned in Detroit,”
whose wife is not intimate with him,
I felt as if I had written it. My wife
also finds excuses not to have intimate contact. She actually condemns me for treating her like an
object, yet we have sex maybe five
times a year. She finds the effort

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

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

Vikings must trade
for No. 1 receiver
Minnesota Vikings wide
receiver Koren Robinson
was arrested on suspicion of
driving while impaired Tuesday night in St. Peter, about
10 miles north of Mankato
on Hwy. 169.
This arrest could devastate the Vikings. And it likely
signals the end of a troubled
career for Robinson, who
may be suspended under
the NFL’s substance-abuse
policy for an entire season.
The Vikings should immediately cut ties with Robinson, who was praised by
announcers throughout
Monday’s preseason loss for
getting his life together.
With Robinson out of the
picture, who is Brad Johnson’s No. 1 target?
Troy Williamson? Marcus
Robinson? Please.
The Vikings are out of
options. A desperate waiverwire pickup isn’t the answer,
so they must make a trade.
Jerry Porter wants out of
Oakland, so he’s an obvious
target. The ultra-athletic
Raiders receiver has underachieved throughout his
career and is demanding a
trade. He’s the best player
available, though he’s another poor-character guy who
won’t help team chemistry.
But at this point, what
choice do they have?

FROM THE STANDS
TODAY’S QUESTION: With
Koren Robinson likely out for
the season due to his arrest
on suspicion of driving while
impaired, what should the
Vikings do to address their
lack of receivers?
• Sit tight and stick with their
current receiving corps.
• Make a trade for a legitimate
No. 1 receiver.
• Try to find a waiver-wire
bargain to plug the hole.

sk any baseball player
or coach what wins
championships, and if
they’ve read their baseball
players’ and coaches’ manual,
they’ll tell you: pitching and
defense.
There was nothing original
about the way the Rochester
Honkers secured the South
Division crown in the Northwoods League playoffs.
“Pitching and defense,” confirmed infielder Jason White,
after Rochester beat the
Madison Mallards 2-1 on
Tuesday night at Mayo Field
to complete a sweep in the
best-of-three divisional
playoff.
“That’s the way we’ve been
doing it all year,” said White,
whose leadoff home run in
the first inning put Rochester
in the driver’s seat toward its
first League Championship
Series appearance since 1999.
Rochester is off today while
Thunder Bay and Duluth
decide the North Division
series tonight in Duluth.
Thunder Bay won 1-0 Tuesday
in Duluth to even the series
at 1-1.
The Honkers got their
second straight exceptional
pitching start as Ryan Bird
grounded the Mallards on just
two hits over seven innings
and improved to 6-1.
Bird paid for a walk in the
seventh because it was followed by a run-scoring double
from Madison left-fielder
Tommy Lentz. But the St.
Louis University right-hander
also saved himself by gloving

a hard-hit ball up the middle,
which might have tied the
score but was instead the
third out. “Bird just did a
heckuva job,” Honkers manager Greg Labbe said.
Randy Wild pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jake
Toohey a scoreless ninth for
the save as Rochester pitchers
combined for a three-hitter.
Labbe said White’s solo
home run to deep right on the
third pitch of the game from
Madison starter Adam Mills
was a huge lift.
“I wasn’t trying for a home
run, I was just trying to get
something started and get on
base for Danny (Lyons) behind
me,” White said.
The Honkers went ahead 20 in the fifth inning on a leadoff double by Adam Cross and
a clutch two-out single to left
by No. 9 hitter Kevin Drever.
“He threw me a fastball on
a 3-2 count, and I was able to
get my bat on it,” said Drever,
a Santa Clara University
second baseman.
Bird and Drever were
among the Honkers who made
fine defensive plays which
doused any sparks of a
Madison rally.
Drever made two impressive defensive plays in a row
in the seventh inning. First he
jumped high to rob a base hit
from Madison’s No. 9 hitter
Ryan Bond, and then he handled a bad-hop grounder to
retire leadoff man Danny
Dressman.
“We’re all confident in each
other to play good defense,
and I think we feed off each
other,” Drever said.
White ended the seventh by
charging a tricky, high-hopping grounder to retire the
Mallards’ Jordan Wolf.
Honkers right fielder Adam
Cross made a difficult catch
near the wall for the third out
in the fourth, preserving
Bird’s no-hitter at the time.
Mallards manager C.J.
Thieleke said his team still
believed it could win the
series despite losing the first
game Monday in Wisconsin
and facing the challenge of
beating the Honkers twice in
Rochester. “We just had to
have a few breaks or even one
hit go our way at the right
time,” Thieleke said. “But it
just didn’t happen.”

A dispatcher at the Nicollet
County sheriff’s department
confirmed to The Associated
Press that Robinson was still
in the county jail Wednesday
morning.
Jansen told the newspaper
that multiple charges were
pending, but a police report
had not been filed yet.
The Vikings signed
Robinson, 26, to a new three-
year contract in March that
included $5.5 million in guaranteed money.
He spent 28 days in an
alcohol treatment facility last
year after being cut by the
Seattle Seahawks for several
reasons, many of which
Robinson has attributed to
alcohol abuse.

few years ago that was
near where she lives.
Now she has published a
book, just out this month,
called “Preventing
Hazing.” She is a psychologist in private practice who
lives in Long Island, N.Y.
In 2003, there was a
widely publicized case
where three boys were
brutally beaten, along with
other unspeakable acts.
“I live about 20 minutes
from that,” Lipkins said. “I
said to myself, ‘what would
make kids do this?’
“I couldn’t understand it,
and I’m supposed to
understand behavior and,
particularly, adolescent
behavior.
“As far as I’m concerned,
hazing is clearly embedded
in our society.”
She’s right about that.
Rochester had its own
hazing scandal four years
ago that resulted in criminal charges against several young men. Last year,
Burnsville High School
officials suspended eight
girls hockey players in a
hazing incident.
Northwestern University
suspended its entire
women’s soccer team last
May in a hazing scandal.
Last April, a fraternity at
the University of Minnesota was suspended for
hazing.
It’s common and it’s
wrong, but until people
understand that and do
something about it, it will

continue.
As Lipkins explains it,
the cycle or tradition has
to be broken. The cycle
goes like this: The victims
come in and expect something to happen. They have
heard there is a tradition.
There is a willingness
because they want to be
part of the team.
The next season, they
are bystanders. They have
more power but not total
status. Eventually, they
have been there a while
and have full status. They
feel they have the right to
pass tradition to the next
generation.
“When they complete the
circle, it’s like regaining a
piece of themselves,” Lipkins said.
Lipkins says the coach of
a team is the most important step in breaking the
cycle, which is why she is
so enamored of Brad Childress.
“The coach has huge
power,” she said. “More
power than a parent to the
athlete.
“If a coach makes a decision there is no hazing and
is firm about it, there is no
hazing. The coach can stop
it because the coach is so
important to the athlete.”
She says hazing is a head
game and an emotional
game, and it leaves a deep,
lasting imprint.
“I’ve had people 89 years
old tell me details of
hazing when they were 17,”
Lipkins said. “You don’t
forget what it feels like.
“It’s an emotional event.”
The Minnesota State
High School League has
penalties for anyone
caught hazing. Suspensions
are mandated and, as in
the case here in Rochester,
even criminal charges can
be brought.
More importantly,
though, people need to
take it seriously.
“It clearly has psychological consequences for
everybody involved,” Lipkins said.

AMATEUR GOLF | SCRATCH PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
A little friendly competition between Gophers
By Ben Pherson
bpherson@postbulletin.com
BYRON — For as long as they can
remember, Andy Paulson and
Clayton Rask have been competing
on the golf course.
It started in high school, when
Paulson played for White Bear Lake
and Rask for Elk River. In four years
at Elk River, Rask finished in the top
five at the Class AA state meet every
season before graduating in 2003.
Paulson was all-state his junior
season and won the Class AA state
title as a senior in 2004.
Now the two competitors find
themselves driving toward the same
goal — an NCAA team title. Rask
and Paulson are members of the University of Minnesota men’s golf team,
and both have high hopes for the
Gophers after a strong finish in the
spring.
Rask played eight tournaments for
the Gophers last season, finishing
with a stroke average of 74.6. He had
two top-10 finishes. Paulson played
in five events and carried a 77
average with a low round of 70.
Despite last year’s success, things
haven’t always been so upbeat for
Rask and Paulson. Early in their college golf careers, University of Minnesota men’s golf coach Brad James
told his players many of them would
be cut — possibly even half the team.
“That was tough; it wasn’t easy to
hear,” Paulson said. “But, to put it

bluntly, that’s part of the business.
You don’t always know who’s going to
be on the team.”
But Rask and Paulson survived the
cut, and they said James’ hard-line
tactics made them better players.
“Coach James just wants to get the
best out of you; he’s always there for
us, always willing to give us advice,”
Rask said. “My game is so much
better now than it was in high school.
He’s helped a lot.”
James has a reputation for
recruiting foreign players and
ignoring homegrown talent. In some
ways, that reputation is deserved —
there are seven foreign players on
his 12-man roster and only four Minnesotans. But Rask insists James
gives everyone a fair shake.
“I don’t think he has anything
against Minnesota kids at all,” Rask
said. “He just expects you to give 100
percent at all times. And if you can’t
do that, he doesn’t want you. He
pushes us, but it makes us better.”
The proof is in the pudding. The
James-led Gophers finished tied for
third place at the NCAA Championship this past spring, and in his
first season as head coach, Minnesota
won an NCAA National Championship.
Paulson and Rask figure to be the
two Minnesotans most likely to contribute when practice opens in early
September. The only other Minnesotans on the roster are Mike
Fiedler of Faribault and Robbie
Kelley of Minnetonka (he attended
Hopkins High School).
Though Paulson and Rask are now
teammates, that doesn’t mean their
friendly competition has calmed.
The rivalry between the future
roommates — they’ll live together
this school year — reached its high
point at last month’s Minnesota State
Amateur Championship. Paulson
held off Rask for the title, but it was
a strong 1-2 finish for the Gophers.
“That was a lot of fun,” Paulson
said. “I didn’t know Clayton had shot
the round he did until later, so it
would have been better if we were
playing together (the final day). But it
was still fun.”
Both players said their friendly
competition only makes them play
better.
“Oh yeah, I think we bring out the
best in each other,” Rask said.
Rask and Paulson are battling
again this week at the Scratch
Players Championship at Somerby
Golf Club. Neither played their best
during the opening two rounds
Tuesday — Rask carded 76-69—145
and Paulson shot 73-75—148 — but
they said it’s been a thrill to tee it up
against some of the best amateur
players in the world.
“It’s cool to see all the Walker Cuppers out here,” Paulson said. “And
this isn’t a course that we get to play
every day. It’s the biggest tournament
I’m playing this summer.”
“I’m honored that they invited me
to play,” Rask said.

Enough practice
for some is too
much for others
Anybody who heard
Clinton Portis rip preseason
football as a waste of time
the other day had to chuckle.
It wasn’t on a par with
Allen Iverson’s classic
comedy rant a few years ago,
but the point was ostensibly
the same.
“We’re talkin’ ’bout practice here, man,” as AI so
memorably put it. “Not
games. Practice!”
Portis carried the football
352 times last season, fourthmost in the NFL, and rolled
up a franchise-record 1,516
yards. Without him, the Redskins and their anemac
passing attack wouldn’t have
sniffed the playoffs.
So after partially dislocating his shoulder making a
tackle in the first quarter of
the first of Washington’s four
preseason games this season,
the normally lighthearted
running back was genuinely
peeved.
“Four games is ridiculous,
man,” Portis began, “then
you go out and play a 16game season? Then you got
playoff games behind that?
How much wear and tear can
you get?”
That last question gets
asked every time one of the
league’s major celebrities —

Jason Sehorn in 1998 — takes

any more romantic then.
There were actually six preseason games, followed by a
14-game regular season at
the time.
Marv Levy, the former Bills
coach and current team executive, was an assistant on
George Allen’s staff back then.
“George wanted to win
every game, including the
exhibitions,” he recalled. “I

year. He said, ‘You know, I’m

Moving two from the preseason column into the regular-season ledger in 1978 was
a no-brainer. It not only meant
more money for everyone, but
it was an acknowledgment the
professionalism that had
taken hold in the NFL made
it possible to take the game to
another level.
Which, of course, meant
even more money.

said Falcons general manager Rich McKay, whose

Tampa Bay at the time. “If we

Judge rules against reporters
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge told two San Francisco
Chronicle reporters they must comply with a subpoena and tell a
grand jury who leaked them secret testimony of Barry Bonds and
other elite athletes ensnared in the government’s steroid probe.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White means reporters
Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada must appear before a grand
jury investigating the leak unless a higher court blocks the ruling. The
pair have said they would not testify and would go to jail rather than
reveal their source or sources.
The two reporters published a series of articles and a book based
partly on transcripts of testimony by Bonds, Jason Giambi and others
who testified in the grand jury investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory
Co-Operative. Known as BALCO, the Burlingame-based nutritional
supplement company was exposed as a steroid ring.

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

“I had no idea they were

Lyons has received many

“We just feel he epitomizes

Archer said it’s just a
happy coincidence that the

The Honkers also handed

Jake Toohey was named
Pitcher of the Year for his

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

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

anything else, the practice

youth for a lot of seniors.
Many seniors — too busy
over the years with jobs,
kids, and a hundred other
things — have never really
discovered the benefits of
regular practice. I’m not
talking about the kind of
practice required to play golf
for a living; just a couple of
hours a week of focused
attention on their golf game.
Ideally, at least 50 percent of
practice time is spent on the
short game, where it will
help scoring the most.
Adding a golf lesson or two
can increase any golfer’s
focus on the practice range
and make practice sessions
more beneficial.
By paying a little attention
to your golf game throughout
the year, senior golfers of
any ability level can add
some enjoyment to their
golden years on the course.

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

Pentagon is on fire. Another
plane hit there.”
Stunned, my playing
partner and I walked to the
10th tee. On the way we
agreed there was no way
around the fact that in one
form or another, our country
was now at war. How would
this affect the lives of our
children, and their children?
Not the kind of things I was
planning on thinking about
that day.
We numbly trudged on
through the back nine, more
pars and a few more bogeys. I
signed my card for a 76 and
sat for a moment at the
scorer’s table. What would
tomorrow hold? Would things
ever be the same?
The 90-minute car ride
home was like slow motion.
After a while I had to turn
the radio off. I needed some
quiet to think. All I wanted to
do was get home and hug my
daughters.
My next round of golf
wasn’t until the following
weekend, a round with an old
buddy in Owatonna. As I
drove west on Civic Center
Drive heading out of town, I
came upon HyVee , still old
Barlow’s to me. Across the
way, rippling in a stiff
southerly breeze was the
giant American flag flying
above Perkins restaurant.
I realized I’d never noticed
it there before, proud and
strong, down, but not out. Old
Glory. Guess there were a lot
of things we all took for
granted before 9/11.
Do we still?

For senior golfers, there’s still a learning curve
Once in a while a few of
the senior golfers at Soldiers
Field will start talking about
the old days.
Invariably, their loss of distance will come up.
“I used to hit my 5-iron 170
yards,” some of them will
lament, “and now I only hit
it 140.”
Before too long, the topic
of aging gracefully on the
golf course becomes a roundtable discussion, and every
year I feel a little more qualified to join in.
The PGA Senior Tour, or
Champions Tour, as it’s now
called, is a pretty good
example of a group of golfers
who have aged well. Most of
them work out in moderation, particularly with flexibility exercises, and pay
attention to what they eat.
In other words, they
cannot only touch their toes,
they can also see them.
Stretching around an ample
waistline is certainly better
than not stretching at all, but

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