Officer
dragged,
fires shots
Suspect arrested
after DUI stop
turns violent
By Janice Gregorson

A Rochester police officer
fired two shots Monday at a
vehicle after being dragged
a short distance by a
motorist who had been
stopped on suspicion of
drunken driving.
Police Capt. Brian Winters
said Officer John Sherwin
saw the van being driven
erratically in the 1400 block
of Second Street Southwest
about 11:45 p.m. and signaled for it to pull over. The
van pulled into the parking
lot at McDonald’s restaurant
at 1505 Second St. S.W. Winters said Sherwin got out of
his squad and approached
the driver’s side of the van
to get identification from
the driver.
Winters said that while
Sherwin was talking to the
driver, he put the vehicle in
gear and started to accelerate. Winters said Sherwin
somehow got entangled in
the vehicle and was dragged
out of the parking lot and
into the alley before freeing

himself. Winters said
Sherwin then drew his
pistol and fired two rounds
at the vehicle in an attempt
to get it to stop.
The officer “was afraid for
his life,’’ Winters said. One
of the bullets struck the
rear of the vehicle. The
other lodged in the ground,
Winters said. No one was
hit.
Mayo Clinic expands its
tissue-testing facilities
With increasingly sophisticated medical
testing available, it makes sense that the
processing of tissue samples is an
expanding field. To meet that need, Mayo Clinic in
Jacksonville will spend $22 million to expands its
tissue-sample testing laboratory in the next nine
years, turning it into a sort of satellite — or
“performing laboratory” — of Mayo Medical
Laboratory in Rochester.

Sherwin then returned to
his squad and pursued the
fleeing van. By that time,
other officers had arrived
on the scene. Winters said
the suspect vehicle was
stopped within 15 to 20
minutes in the 1500 block of
West Center Street. The
driver, a 28-year-old
Mazeppa man, is in custody
and could face charges
ranging from first-degree
driving while impaired to
fleeing a peace officer.

Rape victim’s anguish continues
Girl’s letter read
at sentencing of one
of five defendants
By Janice Gregorson
Hate.
That’s what a teenage girl says she
feels nearly a year after being sexually
assaulted by five males at a northwest
Rochester home.
Since that June night, the young girl
and her family have moved out of state.
She has tried to commit suicide twice,
dropped out of two schools, been hospitalized for depression and has lived in
constant fear.
Sadmir Duratovic, 21, of Rochester,
listened in the packed courtroom
Monday afternoon as the victim’s letter
was read to Judge Joseph Chase by
Senior Assistant Olmsted County
Attorney Lisa Swenson. Duratovic
pleaded guilty to one count of thirddegree criminal sexual conduct in January and was in court for sentencing.
Chase didn’t follow the terms of a
plea agreement. Instead, he ordered
Duratovic to serve one year in jail, with
work-release provisions, and stayed execution of the three-year prison term.
That means if Duratovic violates conditions of probation, he could end up
serving the entire three-year term,
which is a double upward departure
under state sentencing guidelines.
Duratovic also is to pay a $1,000 fine
and complete sex offender evaluation
and all programming required by probation. He’ll be on probation 15 years and
is jointly responsible for restitution of
$5,693.
Duratovic and four other males were
charged with multiple counts of firstand third-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the assault. Two
others also have pleaded guilty to one
count each of third-degree criminal
sexual conduct. A plea hearing for a
fourth man is set for Wednesday. The
case against the fifth, a juvenile, is on
appeal to the Minnesota Court of
Appeals.
The victim wasn’t present, but her
voice was heard through her letter.
“You hear about these kinds of stories, but never believe it will happen to
you,” she said.
Moving out of state hasn’t eased the
memory of the attack June 20, which
occurred when she was baby-sitting at a
residence in northwest Rochester. Duratovic and the others came to the home
and took turns raping her, some more
than once, she said. She knew one of the
assailants from school; another she had
once dated. She had never met Duratovic, and no words were exchanged
between them that night.
Today, she told the judge, she feels
that every guy who looks at her has one
thing in mind.
“It scares the crap out of me to be
home alone. I don’t feel worth living,’’
she wrote.
Blast destroys shed
at construction site
By Janice Gregorson
An explosion destroyed a
construction warming shed
near Rochester’s water reclamation plant Monday.
Witnesses said the roof and
front door of the shed blew
off before the fire, which
occurred at noon, according
to Rick Lovett, battalion chief
for the Rochester Fire
Department. No one was
inside at the time.
The 15-by-15-foot shack is
used as a warming shed for
workers at the new construction site. Workers go there for
breaks, so it’s surprising no
one was inside, Lovett said.
The shed is at 301 37th St.
N.W.
The shack was close to a
propane tank. That, Lovett
said, was a main concern initially. He said firefighters
cooled down the propane
tank before attacking the fire.
Lovett said the warming shed
also was fed with a propane
tank.
Loss is estimated at $4,000.
Fire crews remained on the
scene about 75 minutes.
Lovett said the cause of the
explosion remains under
investigation.

Rochester firefighters work to extinguish a fire at the
Water Reclamation Plant on 37th Street Northwest in
Rochester on Monday. A storage trailer believed to be
owned by Lametti & Sons Inc. caught fire and exploded. It happened on the south side of the plant closest to 37th Street, in the construction area.
Two convenience stores robbed this morning

Rochester police were
called to armed robberies at
two convenience stores this
morning.
The Kwik Trip at 4120 U.S.
52 N. was robbed about 3
a.m., and the SuperAmerica
store at 1520 Second St. S.W.
was robbed about 7:15 a.m.
At the Kwik Trip, two
masked men entered the
store, displayed a knife,
demanded money and fled
after being given a small
amount of money from the
cash drawer, police said.
The SuperAmerica robber
is described as a white man
wearing blue jeans and a
black or blue windbreaker
with the number 9 on the
breast pocket, and a gray
hooded sweatshirt. Police say
the robber indicated to the
clerk that he had a gun and a
knife. He fled after getting
cash.

Police: Bowling alley stabbing was gang-related
From staff reports
The stabbing of a 17-year-old boy
inside Colonial Lanes bowling alley
Sunday night appears to be gangrelated, police said today.
Capt. Brian Winters said no arrests
have been made in connection with the
incident that sent one Rochester teen to
the hospital with multiple stab wounds.
Police said Monday that several of the
people involved are known gang members. Today, Winters said it now appears
the stabbing was gang-related — the
latest in a rash of gang violence in the
city in recent months.
Meanwhile, Colonial Lanes’
employees are still reeling from the
incident, said General Manager Adam
Apo. During his five years with the
bowling alley, Apo said this is the first
time a violent fight has broken out at
the business.
“It’s sad that anything like this would
happen at any place of business,” he
said. “I was very shocked about it.”
The victim, Sulin Tony Bounavang,
remained in fair condition this morning

The day in history
And, she said, she hates them for what
they have done to her.
A second letter was read from the
girl’s mother, telling the judge how she
has quit teaching in order to provide the
support her daughter needs. “What happened to her was utterly evil,” she
wrote.
Under terms of the plea agreement,
the prosecution agreed to recommend
no more than 180 days in jail along with
paying a fine and restitution. Swenson
told the judge the plea agreement
spares the victim from having to testify
at five trials.
Defense attorney Michael York asked
the judge to follow terms of the plea
agreement and even to consider
imposing less jail time or allowing
Duratovic to serve it on home detention.
“He has taken full responsibility for
his role,” York said. “He is very
ashamed and wishes he could take it
back.”
Duratovic said he is sorry and apologized to the victim and her family.
“I did something that was wrong. I am
really, really sorry,” he said.
Chase told Duratovic he is not
allowed to date until completing the sex
offender evaluation. He must register as
a sex offender, is to have no contact
with the co-defendants, must stay out of
bars and liquor stores, and must not
have any sexually explicit material or
use the Internet without approval. He is
not to have contact with girls younger
than 18 without approval from his probation agent.

From staff reports
A 17-year-old Rochester
boy has been put on probation and ordered to do 100
hours of community work
service for having sexual contact with a 5-year-old girl last
summer.
Daniel James Gilbert was
sentenced in Olmsted District Court last week by
Judge Robert Birnbaum. He
pleaded guilty on March to
one count of second-degree
criminal sexual conduct. A
second count of fourthdegree criminal sexual conduct was dismissed under
the plea agreement.
Gilbert admitted to having
sexual contact with the girl
in July 2005.
Birnbaum put Gilbert on
probation until age 19 and
ordered him to complete all
programming recommended
by his probation officer, do
community work service and
have no unsupervised contact
with young children. He also
is not allowed to hold any
position of authority over
children including baby-sitting and lifeguarding, and he
cannot be in day care settings or elementary schools.
He is not to own, use or
possess any sexually explicit
material, and he must complete any sex offender programming that is recommended and apologize to his
victims.

Byron woman sentenced
to prison in death of mother
From staff reports
A Byron woman has been
sentenced to five years in
prison after she pleaded
guilty to involuntary
manslaughter for providing
her mother a lethal dose of
methadone, a medication
used to treat addiction to
drugs such as heroin.
Tara Lynn Bryant, also
known as Tara Lynn Becker,
of 3427 110th Ave. S.W.,
requested probation,
according to a sentencing
order issued by the Iowa
District Court for Sac
County.
But “for reasons stated in
the pre-sentence investigation report and on the
record by the court, the
court concluded that incarceration was required,” the
sentencing order said.
Bryant, 28, was ordered
into the custody of the Iowa
Department of Corrections
“for an indeterminate term
not to exceed five years.”
She was also fined $750,
plus a 32 percent surcharge,
both of which were suspended.
She was ordered taken to

Stewartville council
considers smaller
swimming pool
By Heather J. Carlson
hcarlson@postbulletin.com
STEWARTVILLE — After
abandoning an effort to build
a $3.6 million aquatic center,
city officials are considering
a scaled-back pool design.
The city council is
expected to vote tonight on
preliminary plans for a $2.4
million swimming facility
southeast of Stewartville
High School. But the proposed 8,400-square-foot pool
would move ahead only if
Stewartville voters approve a
$1.9 million referendum on
May 2.
The proposed pool features
six lap lanes, zero-depth
entry, water slides and a
diving well. It would accommodate 530 bathers. By comparison, the original aquatic
center plans called for an
11,000-square-foot pool to
allow for 800 bathers. However, officials scrapped plans
for the aquatic center after a
fundraising campaign fell
$2.3 million short.
Despite its smaller size, the
new proposed pool would
still meet the needs of residents, said council member
Greg House. He said it is
important Stewartville start
building a new swimming
facility to replace the city’s
1960s-era pool.
“It gets older every year,
and unless we start on
another facility, it’s questionable how many more years
we can keep limping along
before we just have to close
it,” House said.
Last month, a consultant
hired by the city estimated it
would cost $1.25 million to
bring the old pool up to
health codes, said Barb
Neubauer, the city’s finance
director.
The city has already spent
about $400,000 on the aquatic
center project on architectural designs and to hire a
fundraising consulting firm. If
voters approve the $1.9 million referendum, the
remaining $500,000 project
cost would be funded with
cash and in-kind pledges,
said Neubauer.
The city council is also
expected to vote on a land
swap with the Stewartville
school district to change the
location of the proposed pool.
Initially, the city had paid the
district $20,000 for nearly
eight acres east of Stewartville High School and
south of the existing pool. But
that location would require
the city to build a $550,000
new road headed north from
County Road 6. Property
owners abutting the road
would be assessed for the

To avoid the need for a
new road, the city council is
considering swapping the
eight-acre parcel for a nearly

part of the deal, the city
would reimburse the school
district $10,000 it paid in

the proposed land swap and
that the school board supports plans for a new pool.
“We would like to see the

“It would add to our community. We hope that it’s something now at the reduced cost
that the community can support.”

University of Minnesota electrical engineering student Patrick Delaney uses a
solar-powered light he is helping to develop to illuminate himself for a portrait.
The Afton, Minn., native hopes to bring a source of renewable and inexpensive
light to villagers in the developing world.
and was prepared to e-mail
those.
“What makes him tick is a
little different” than the typical engineering student,
said Paul Imbertson, a professor at the university’s
Institute of Technology
whom Delaney sought out
after returning from
Nicaragua. He didn’t have
the technical or math skills
that usually come with
someone interested in technology, “but he was much
more capable of expressing
himself, and a lot more confident,” Imbertson said.
The pair discussed the
best energy source for the
project and looked at wind
and hydropower before settling on the sun.
In the Nicaraguan mountains, Delaney had met one
of the better-off farmers who
owned a solar panel that
powered some incandescent
bulbs.
That power could be packaged into an ultra-bright
light using state-of-the-art
LEDs creating light nearly 50
times more useful than a
conventional bulb while producing less heat. Combining
that with a solar panel and a
battery, Delaney saw all the
ingredients for an affordable
way to light a 12-foot-by-12foot room, the size of a typical village home.
The project continues,
though solar panels and
money are limiting factors.
Delaney says he has spent
about $1,500 in the past two
years on the project; he
works on a shoestring with a
donation from one of his
grandparents and a summer
landscaping business.
“He has a different attitude,” Imbertson said. “So

MINNEAPOLIS — Patrick
Delaney wanted to use his
electrical engineering skills
to help people who needed
them most. He found a
calling in the remotest
regions of Nicaragua.
A University of Minnesota
student, Delaney flew to the
Central American nation in
2004 at a colleague’s invitation and traveled into the
mountains, way off the electrical grid and miles from
the nearest utility poll.
Fluent in Spanish, the
Afton native asked villagers,
“What’s the most important
thing you might want out of
electricity?” They said, “la
luz,” light. In those remote
places, the nights were lit by
flames from pop bottles
filled with kerosene, a dangerous device.
“People without electricity
or off the power grid,
farmers who live agrarian
lives ... they were not looking
for a light bulb or a washing
machine. They were looking
for a task light they could
carry out to the barn or field,
in their homes to do some
reading or educate their
children,” he said.
Delaney’s observations and
questions evolved into a
senior project with other students to create a durable,
powerful lantern with a battery powered from solar
energy, one that can be constructed easily and eventually mass-produced by
people in Nicaragua. While
still in the early stages, it
shows the promise of not
only solving a practical
problem but creating a vital
product that can be built
and sustained in Nicaragua
by the people who need it
most.
Delaney didn’t start off as
an engineer but had a longtime interest in helping
people in poor nations. He
learned to speak Spanish
during summer jobs for a
local nursery working alongside migrant workers.
When he got to the university, “I was originally kind of
a clueless, naive little
freshman,” he said. “I
thought that this (engineering) was going to be the
best way of fulfilling my passion of helping the developing world. I just thought
this was the coolest way to
do it.”
Earnest and well-organized, Delaney prepared his
own list of questions for a
news interview. He had also
written down the answers

Peeps protest Easter Bunny’s eviction
Associated Press
ST. PAUL — Marshmallow Peeps
have been multiplying outside City
Hall as a symbol of protest over last
week’s decision to evict the Easter
Bunny.
A handful of employees have
placed the spongy chick- and rabbitshaped candies around a City Hall
statue of American Indians, along with
two signs that temporarily rename the
“Vision of Peace” statue as the “Vision
of Peeps.”
“From a building standpoint, no comment!” said a laughing Jolly Mangine,
Ramsey County’s director of
property management. “We’re
just going to let it ride.”
Just Born, the company that
manufactures Peeps, issued a
statement after being informed
of the display.
“It is a shame that the
Easter Bunny hopping through
City Hall has caused such a disturbance. We are sure that the regal
‘Vision of Peace’ statue does not mind
sharing a little glory and spring fever
with us — the Peeps,” the company
said.
Last week, a small Easter display was
removed from the building’s lobby out
of concern that the items would offend
non-Christians. The display — a cloth
bunny, pastel-colored eggs and a sign
with the words “Happy Easter” — were
put up by a city council secretary. They
weren’t purchased with city money.
Tyrone Terrill, the city’s human rights
director, asked that the decorations be
removed. He has since said his only
problem with the display involved the
“Happy Easter” sign.
It’s not the first time a holiday symbol
has been removed from City Hall. In
2001, red poinsettias were briefly
banned from a holiday display because
they were associated with Christmas.
Regents OK revised Gophers stadium plan
By Brian Bakst
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The
University of Minnesota’s
Board of Regents gave its
blessing Monday to a re-engineered Gopher stadium plan
that requires the school to
share 2,840 acres of prime
land with the state.
The 11-1 vote comes in a
critical week for the effort to
build a $249 million, oncampus football stadium.
Beginning today, legislative
committees plan to act on
the proposal.
With construction prices
increasing, university officials consider this a make-orbreak year. A previous plan
has been stuck in neutral for
a couple of years. The latest
version emerged Friday.
Under the new arrangement, the university would
turn over to the state the
environmentally sensitive
land along the Vermillion
River near Rosemount in
exchange for a $9.4 million
annual payment. The money
would help pay off debt on
the stadium.
In all, state taxpayers
would pick up 50 percent of
the project’s cost. Earlier
plans had the state covering
40 percent. The extra increment would allow the school
to reduce the burden on students, cutting a suggested $50
per semester fee to $25.
The remaining portion
would be covered by parking
revenue and private donations.
The university would be
allowed to continue research
on the Rosemount land.
After 25 years the state
would own the land, which
the public can use for hiking,
cross country skiing and
wildlife viewing.
The land at issue is about
a third of the 7,686 acres the
university acquired from the
federal government in 1947.
Regent David Metzen
called it one of the “most
beautiful, valuable pieces of
property” in the state.
“I would never do this if it
was just to get the stadium
done. That’s just a
byproduct,” Metzen said.
“The property is going into
good hands like it should
be.”
Regent Frank Berman cast
the only dissenting vote. He
said he planned to outline
his objections in a memo to
colleagues. Some regents
expressed concern about the
school losing power to control research on the property; others worried about
setting a land-swap precedent that could haunt the
university down the road.
While the Gopher plan
enjoys wider legislative support than stadium bills for
the Minnesota Twins and
Vikings, it isn’t a done deal.
The Senate Higher Education Budget Division, which
will debate the university
proposal today, is also considering whether to prohibit
a corporate donor from
securing naming rights.
University president
Robert Bruininks said
Pogemiller’s bill would leave
a sizable fiscal hole that the
school would have a hard
time filling.

Middle ear infections are among
the most common childhood diseases, with half of all children having
at least one episode. Temporary
hearing loss can occur during the
infection, but usually returns to normal as the infection clears and the
fluid drains.
Ear infections tend to recur, especially if the child has infected adenoids. Any indication of a middle ear
infection warrants a call to a family
doctor or pediatrician. Usually, an
antibiotic treatment is needed to
eradicate the cause.

A Rochester resident has
been named the first U.S.
recipient of the Great Cross
to a Distinguished Citizen of
Humanitarian Science from
the city of Portoviejo,
Ecuador.
A nonmedical mission to

Astronomy Club’s Star Party is Saturday
The Rochester Astronomy Club will give the public a
chance to see the planet Saturn, constellations and other
heavenly objects during its Star Party on Saturday night.
Beginning at 7 p.m., club members will have their telescopes set up on the basketball court behind Bamber
Valley Elementary School.
If it’s a clear night, observers will be able to see
Saturn, its rings and moons, the craters and mountain
ranges of our planet’s moon, and several constellations
and other sky objects.
The event will occur weather permitting. It is free and
open to the public. The club asks that people turn their
car headlights off as they approach the observation area.
Portoviejo is a bustling
community with nearly a
quarter of a million residents. About 70 percent of
Ecuador’s population lives at
or below poverty, and many
children have significant
unmet medical needs,
including those in Portoviejo.
Pug lovers donate to help injured dog
FOREST LAKE, Minn. — A little pug named Buck has
been saved, thanks to a group of dog lovers who bonded
through the Internet.
After the 2-year-old pug was hit by a car last week and
broke three legs, its owners, Colleen and Jim Bighley,
were faced with a $3,000 surgery bill they couldn’t afford.
Colleen Bighley shared her grief on a pug-lovers’ Web
site, and she wrote about her plans to give the dog one
night at home before putting it to sleep.
But 14 minutes after Bighley’s post, a pug owner in
Australia offered to donate money for the surgery. Others
followed, and more than 200 donations totaling about
$2,000 came in, from as far as France and Alaska.
Buck is home recuperating now, and Bighley has a new
appreciation for Web ties.
“Some people think I’m weird because I go on the
Internet to talk about my dog,” Bighley said. “My sisterin-law told me she can’t call me a geek anymore, because
all these people saved my dog’s life.”
Man might face sexual assault charges
Friends came to the aid of a 21-year-old Rochester
woman being sexually accosted by a man at a birthday
party early Sunday morning.
Police said they were called to an apartment about
12:30 a.m. Sunday and arrested a 56-year-old man for sexually touching the woman.
Lt. John O’Neil said the woman had gone to the
birthday party and said the man began hitting on her,
then began to touch her sexually. One man, upset at what
was happening, intervened on the woman’s behalf, O’Neil
said.
Police were called, and the suspect is now in jail
facing possible charges of second-degree criminal sexual
conduct.
Garnering help from volunteers in Rochester and across
the country, Welp makes regular trips to Portoviejo to provide medical evaluations,
treatment, vaccinations and
humanitarian assistance.
Physician, nurse and support
volunteers travel and work in
teams.
This year alone, 100 children in Ecuador were evaluated, according to Hands for
Humanity. During the past
four years, 90 children have
undergone surgery in a surgical suite constructed with
donations from Hands for
Humanity, 10 children with
serious illness have been

LOAN VS. LEASE
Northwest sues airports commission to rid itself of debt
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Northwest Airlines Corp. has sued the Metropolitan Airports Commission in hopes
of voiding a $130 million debt.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in
bankruptcy court in New York,
claims that a special facility
financing deal for space Northwest
uses at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is really a loan, not
a lease.
In a bankruptcy, leaseholders continue to get paid. But according to
the lawsuit, if the financing is a
loan, “Northwest has no obligations
... with respect to the financing.”
It also says that bondholders, as
unsecured creditors, aren’t owed
anything except what they might get
after a reorganization plan or
Chapter 7 liquidation.
The lawsuit also names a trustee
for bondholders — Manufacturers
and Traders Trust Co. — as a defendant.
MAC spokesman Pat Hogan said
Monday the MAC would argue on
behalf of bondholders that the
financing is a lease.
Several cases like this are under
appeal and have raised concerns
about future finance arrangements.
Standard & Poor’s credit analyst
Kurt Forsgren wrote Feb. 27 that
“current and future attempts by airlines to retroactively identify certain lease payments as ‘disguised
financings’ as opposed to a ‘true
lease’ could limit special facility
financings of airline-related infrastructure for many years.”
The lawsuit said the agreement
dates to 1999, when Northwest and
the MAC, which owns and operates
the airport, entered into an operating agreement and terminal-
building lease.
The MAC issued bonds in 2001
and the proceeds from the bonds,
which mature in 2025, were used for
new gates, expansion of luggage systems, construction of new passenger
facilities, and other projects.
In the lawsuit, Northwest is also
seeking the return of a $426,041.26
bond payment it made Sept. 30.
Northwest filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy Sept. 14.

Fed likely to boost interest rate today
WASHINGTON — As Ben Bernanke takes the
chairman’s seat, Federal Reserve watchers wonder how
many more interest rate increases are in store.
Bernanke and his Fed colleagues are expected to boost
America’s borrowing costs yet again at the end of their
two-day meeting today. And analysts will be searching for
clues about where the central bank is headed after that.
Under former chief Alan Greenspan, the Fed has been
tightening credit in steady, quarter-percentage point steps
since June 2004 to keep the economy and inflation on an
even keel. Many economists believe the Fed will end its
rate-raising campaign this year, but they don’t know
when, and they don’t think even Fed officials know.

Customers get share of $153 million
ALBANY, N.Y. — Thousands of companies and governments nationwide that bought insurance through a
broker expecting the lowest rates will share in the proceeds from a $153 million settlement of a bid-rigging
scheme involving Zurich American Insurance Co.
The victims, which include small, mom-and-pop
retailers, school districts, governments and large corporations, will receive $88 million, said New York Attorney
General Eliot Spitzer, who led the investigation and
announced the settlement Monday.
Zurich American, a subsidiary of Switzerland’s Zurich
Financial Services, also agreed to pay penalties and costs
of the investigation to the three states in the settlement:
$39 million to New York, and $13 million each to Connecticut and Illinois.
EU seeks ‘open skies’ pact with U.S.
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The European Union hopes to
get a preliminary “open skies” air services agreement
with the United States in the first half of the year, its top
transportation official said Monday.
Such an agreement covering the world’s two largest aviation markets would allow EU and U.S. airlines to fly to
wherever they want and charge whatever they want on
trans-Atlantic flights, a move that could lead to lower
ticket prices for passengers.
The talks are on hold until Washington provides details
on how it would lift foreign airline ownership restrictions
and allow foreign investors more say over the management of U.S. carriers.
Comair asks court to ditch contracts
NEW YORK — Comair Inc., a unit of Delta Air Lines
Inc., on Monday asked a New York bankruptcy court to
let it toss out contracts with its 970 flight attendants as
part of an effort to cut $42 million in annual costs the
regional carrier says it needs to climb out of bankruptcy.
Without the cuts, Comair warned it would have to cease
operations. Comair, based in Erlanger, Ky., near Cincinnati, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sept. 14, the same
day that Delta filed for protection from its creditors
under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws. Comair is
asking its flight attendants for $8.9 million in wage and
benefits cost cuts.
The carrier already has reached an agreement with its
pilots for $17.3 million in cost cuts and for $1 million
from its mechanics.

Off the mark
Tobaben said rejecting the
ideas doesn’t mean they’re not
funny, it just means editors were
skeptical of their selling power.
“It comes down to, ‘Would I send
this?” she said.
Editors say the lines on what is
appropriate are continually
redrawn. No subjects are deemed
completely off-limits, but Hallmark’s line provides clues of
some boundaries.
Off-color language is seldom
used. Politics are typically
avoided. And national security
has become a more delicate subject since the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks.
“Almost everything is offensive
to someone,” said Rachel Bolton,
a company spokeswoman. “But
we try not to cross the line into
blatantly offensive. That’s not
what most people want.”
Marn Jensen, a creative
director at Hallmark who oversees lines including Shoebox,
said consumers have shown an
interest in humor that is more
positive than might have been
popular five or 10 years ago, when
sarcastic, biting, even mean-spirited messages sold well. She said
that shift hasn’t been easy for
writers.
“It’s a little trickier to be funny
and positive and happy and
light,” Jensen said.
Still, Taylor said he and his colleagues put all good-taste restrictions aside and simply brainstorm.
“It’s better to just write the funniest thing you can think of,” he
said.

Who’s got the goose?
It’s time to test Rochester’s flock for the bird flu virus
L
The issue
Federal
monitoring of
bird flu will focus
on migratory
bird flyways.
Our view
It’s time Olmsted
County tells the
public what it’s
plan is for
monitoring
Rochester’s
goose population
for bird flu.
ast week, when U.S. Interior Secretary Gale
Norton warned that bird
flu likely would arrive in the
United States this year and that
the federal monitoring
response would focus on migratory bird flyways, there was
only one question to ask.
What is the Olmsted County
Health Department doing to
monitor or test the geese in
Rochester for the virus?
According to Pete Giesen, a
county emergency preparedness coordinator, the county is
looking for the state to take the
lead.
Giesen said that the county
has questioned state wildlife
and health officials about
whether the Rochester goose
population has any unique
characteristics that might raise
public exposure to the bird flu.
Still, as of yet, the county has
not asked the state to come to
Rochester to test the local
flock. Giesen did not rule out
that possibility.
It does not matter which government does this testing, but it
is an action that needs to be
taken. Also, if the virus does
appear, there must be plans to
manage the flock. Does this
mean euthanizing the birds? It
is an extreme option, however
gruesome, that ought to be part
of a reasoned discussion.
In Rochester, where health
care is the economic base,
there hardly could be anything
more troubling than a diagnosis
that a highly publicized virus
has come to town. Any delay in
planning would be a mistake.
Giesen said the county has no
plans to test the birds because,
he said, the county has no
capacity to do so. Giesen said
there is no veterinary expertise
in the county that could conduct such a testing regimen. It
seems time to find some help.
The county also is looking to
the Rochester Park and Recreation Department to help mitigate some of the common-sense
exposure problems to a potentially contaminated flock.
Specifically suggested for
removal were the goose feeders
and the playground equipment
along Silver Lake, where the
main city flock is found. The
thought here is obviously to
separate people from birds.
Olmsted County has refused
to share its plans for bird flu,
even as this possible public
health emergency moves closer
to home.
Now that the federal government is focused on migratory
birds, the time has come for
Olmsted County to focus on
geese. This planning needs to
happen, and when it does, it
has to happen in the open.
This issue has the potential to
scare people. The way to calm
fears is to develop and share
plans of action.
Fatherless world is lacking
When New York Times columnist Maureen
Dowd asked, “Are Men Necessary?” in the
title of her funny book critiquing today’s
gender-confused culture, I took the question
to be a rhetorical play on E.B. White and
James Thurber’s “Is Sex Necessary?”
I wrote in response that, yes, men are necessary, if not to certain women, then certainly to children, who, despite the creative
inventions of many modern mothers, seem
to love their daddies.
At least they love the idea of Daddy, since
so few children these
days get to
have a real
one. A third
Kathleen
of all American children
Parker
are born to
unwed
mothers, and
half will sleep tonight in a house where
their biological father does not live.
This past Sunday, the New York Times
was replete with stories that answer both
Dowd’s question and that posed by Thurber
and White. Not only are men not necessary,
but neither is sex in many cases.
The cover story of the Times’ Sunday Magazine, for instance, was headlined “Looking
For Mr. Good Sperm” and featured women
who have given up on Mr. Right and are
searching instead for a good vial of sperm.
Another Times story was about “virtual
visitation,” which allows absent dads to stay
in touch with their kids through instant messaging and webcams. A third told the plight
of unwed fathers powerless to block the
adoption of their babies.
The fourth was a first-person narrative by
a woman who married and had a child with
an incarcerated murderer, whom she later
abandoned. The dad, not the baby.
While such distilled summaries can’t tell
the whole story, the unspoken essence is
that women have all the power when it
comes to children, and men are only as good
as their sperm count.
The most potent of these stories was the
one about Mr. Sperm, as it underscored how
Techos is winning the war against Eros, and
leaving us spiritually poorer for the victory.
In one particularly chilling segment, women
went looking for specific features in sperm
donors to achieve a certain look in their
children.
Our embrace of superficiality is rarely so
vividly displayed as when an African-American woman chose a Latino donor so her
child would have lighter skin and nonkinky
hair. A Jewish woman opted for a 6-foot-2
German/Catholic with blond curls and blue
TOMORROW
eyes in order to avoid Jewish traits she
found unappealing and, one can’t help proposing, to make a point her therapist can
sort out.
Of course, people who marry and couple
the traditional way also make genetic selections, if often unconsciously. But the calculated, literally detached selection of a
stranger’s body fluids versus the random
matings that passion inspires feels as sterile
as the vial containing the lucky specimen.
Obviously, there is difference between infertile couples who resort to sperm donation
and single women who can’t manage a relationship with men for whatever reason.
While it’s easy to understand a woman’s
desire to have a child, it is less easy to
understand how it was decided that fathers
are nonessential. I find little comfort in the
fact that some sperm donors agree to meet
their “offspring” when the child reaches age
18.
Ego gratification on one end balanced
against narcissistic self-fulfillment on the
other offers little to soothe the restless soul.
Or the child, who might like to have a real
daddy tuck him in at night.
Or, perhaps, attend her piano recital,
rather than hear her piece played during a
virtual Internet visit, as one dad did in the
Times story about long-distance parenting.
Virtual visits might be fun and a great way
to stay in touch with friends and family, but
they’re never a substitute for being there.
From the stories, we can infer that the
sperm-shopping women didn’t set out to be
alone in middle age and make families
without fathers, or that the virtual dads
hoped to have long-distance relationships
with their children. We also can figure that
unwed fathers don’t mean to produce accidental babies only to lose them. Nor that
the prisoner-wife dreamed of someday
having a child with a convicted killer. Life is
full of surprises.
And mistakes.
There’s something terribly wrong with this
picture, and it is this: These are sad stories
that reveal symptoms of a diseased culture
in which human relationships have no
moral content and children are treated as
accessories to adult lives. Yet, these trends
are portrayed as the latest gosh-gee fashions.
A society in which women are alone, men
are lonely, and children don’t have fathers
is nothing to celebrate. And a future world
filled with fatherless children — bereft of
half their identity and robbed of a father’s
love, discipline and authority — won’t likely
be a pleasant place to live.

Letters to the editor
Sheriff backs firefighter choice
Send good news, please
I support the decision of the Rochester
City Council to hire Eric Thompson to
serve us as a firefighter.
I employed Eric as a deputy sheriff.
He was an intelligent, hard worker with
an outstanding attitude. Eric made a horrific mistake and he has paid a big price.
He was not granted any breaks due to
his job. He lost his profession in law
enforcement and he received a more
severe sentence than others in this
county received for like offenses at that
time. He served his prison time without
incident, and he has complied with the
requirements of his parole. He cannot
change history, but he has done everything he can to take responsibility for his
mistake.
I operate our Adult Detention Center.
While incarceration is partially for punishment, we work hard to educate
inmates to change behavior in order to
live legal and productive lives. We
believe that when an offender completes
his sentence, it is in our best interest to
enable re-integration into society if we
are to avoid endless recidivism. We
believe in healing, restoration and forgiveness.
Eric’s criminal conviction will not compromise his ability to serve as a firefighter. Depriving Eric of this job will
not avenge the loss or erase the pain of
the past eight years. The city council
made a compassionate and courageous
decision in hiring Eric.
Steve Borchardt
Olmsted County Sheriff
Come on, America. It’s time to focus on the
good news in Iraq. Somewhere a family had
their refrigerator working all day long. Somebody did not step in raw sewage when he left
his home. The other day someone went to
school and was neither kidnapped nor blown
up.
Somewhere a young man does not blame
America for the deaths of friends and family.
Somewhere an innocent man who was inadvertently tortured by us has been rightly
given his freedom. Somewhere a husband and
wife embraced, and they felt good.
Come on, reporters. There’s literally something good happening in Iraq every month.
Put on your body armor and dig up that story.
America is getting desperate. There’s talk of
impeachment. Heck, make up a happy story.
No one will mind. We’ve got to feel good
about ourselves again. Someway. Anyway.
Please.

Firefighter paid for his mistake
I would like to comment on the article
in your paper about the hiring of seven
new firefighters. Most of the article was
devoted to the past history of Eric
Thompson.
Why was it necessary to rehash something that happened so long ago? He has
paid his debt to society. Since he has
gotten out of prison he has been
employed full time, paying taxes, etc. He
has been a productive member of society.
I think you were using tabloid type journalism. I think you should be ashamed of
yourselves.
Margaret Franko

Let man turn his life around
The article stating that the city has
hired seven firefighters is newsworthy.
Rehashing the events of eight years ago
when a sheriff’s deputy accidentally
killed a Bryon man is no longer news!
He has served his time and paid his
debt to society and shown remorse for
his actions. I don’t know him personally,
but I’m sure he lives with the consequences of that night on a daily basis. I
certainly hope that you never have to
experience something like this on a personal level.
If you’ve never made an error in judgment, what about your children? How
would you like it if he was your son, and
your local paper kept bringing it up
when he is trying to be a productive citizen and turn his life around. Would you
rather that he pay his time, get out of
prison, then live off welfare for the rest
of his life because no one would hire
him?
But for the grace of God, it could have
been you or one of your loved ones. I
hope you keep that in mind in the future
and stop using the Post-Bulletin as the
“Local Inquirer” and stick to your stated
purpose of being a news and information
provider!

Paul Krugman advises caution in dealing with the immigration issues.
Put the money where it matters
The Bush administration has been so secretive regarding permanent bases in Iraq that,
when asked, it either denies their existence
or insists they will eventually be handed over
to the Iraqi government.
However, when pressured for an answer
during a congressional hearing, Army Gen.
John Abizaid replied: “The policy on longterm presence in Iraq hasn’t been formulated.”
Yet, the building of a massive network of
bases continues, and it makes no sense to
talk about withdrawal from Iraq without also
talking about those bases.
Tom Engelhardt, The Nation (March 27),
described four of the super-bases as occupying 15 to 20 square miles, having their own
subways, separate electric, water, and air
conditioning systems, and two bus routes.
There are also such amenities as miniature
golf courses and a Hertz rent-a-car office.
Lt. Col. David Holt, in charge of “facilities
development” in Iraq stated that already several billion dollars have been spent on base
construction. And Bush wonders why the
Iraqi people hate us.
A future fifth base is being discussed, but
in the meantime, one more super-base is
being built to hold a new U.S. Embassy in
Baghdad’s Green Zone at a cost of $592 million and containing “15-foot blast walls and
ground-to-air missiles” for protection. Meanwhile, our soldiers are still scrambling for
sheet metal and empty milk gallons filled
with wet sand for their protection.

Gay-marriage hysteria helps no one
Think of the kindest, gentlest, wisest person
you’ve ever met. Now imagine that there are
gay and lesbian people who are that kind,
gentle and wise.
They do exist.
Now try to imagine what life is like for
these kind souls trying to make it in a society
that includes thousands of less
kind/gentle/wise people who fear, hate or
despise you for no good reason, other than
that in their childhood they were trained to
do so.
The fundamental purpose of our system of
laws is to protect innocent citizens from
injury by their fellow citizens, be it physical,
financial, or emotional. Not to “send messages” or to “keep people in their place.”
When we enshrine intolerance into our
laws, we are perverting and abusing our legal
system, and setting a dangerous precedent.
Please don’t do it. Let the gay-marriage hysteria evaporate like a cloud in the sky, and let
our government get back to the business of
making this country a safer and better place
for all of our kind, gentle and wise citizens.

Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson apologizes publicly on the Senate floor

ST. PAUL — Senate
Majority Leader Dean
Johnson on Monday made a
second public apology — this
time from the Senate floor —
for comments he made more
than two months ago that
have inflamed the gay marriage issue.
Johnson said he made an
“inaccurate statement” when
he told a group of pastors in
January that several state
Supreme Court justices had
told him they wouldn’t overturn a state law banning
same-sex marriage.
In a statement that lasted
about a minute and 20 seconds, the Legislature’s top
Democrat said, “I have at no
time received any commitments regarding potential
judicial decisions from any
member of the Minnesota
Supreme Court.”
He added: “I regret the
statement I made.”
The apology — which followed a mea culpa at a news
conference in Johnson’s
office 10 days earlier — caps
the official part of a controversy that has consumed the
Legislature for the past week
and a half.

• Drugs
• Meth

But the issue could live on
outside the Capitol.
On Friday, a Senate panel
dismissed an ethics complaint against Johnson, DFLWillmar, but voted unanimously to require the public
apology and a written one to
the New London-Spicer Ministerial Association.
It was at a meeting of that
group that Johnson’s comments were recorded without
his knowledge. They were
made public March 15 by a
group that supports a constitutional amendment banning
gay marriage and its legal
equivalents.
Johnson’s spokesman, Dave
LaCoursiere, said the senator
would send the written
apology as directed by the
committee.
Sen. Claire Robling, RJordan, said she was satisfied
with Johnson’s apology.
“We could have taken this
much further. It could have
dragged on for weeks and
months, perhaps,” she said.

The state Republican Party
has been using the recording
of Johnson in radio attack
ads, and a spokesman has
said he expects the issue to
remain relevant until the
November election. Another
group pushing for the amendment, Minnesota Citizens in
Defense of Marriage, said in
a statement that the apology
was “empty.”
Supporters of the constitutional ban have seen
Johnson, DFL-Willmar, as the
main roadblock to putting the
issue before voters in
November. The House has
already approved the ballot
question, but it’s never made
it to the Senate floor for a
vote.
It’s unclear whether that
will happen this year, but the

However, choose a maximum carefully as you won’t be
able to reduce it later and you’ll be legally bound to pay
that price if it is the winning bid.

EXAMPLES OF PROXY
BIDDING
WHY A MAXIMUM SECRET BID?
Because Auction Advantage is not a live auction, you cannot
react instantly to someone bidding against you on the same
items. For this reason we are using a system called PROXY
BIDDING. Under Proxy Bidding, you tell our Auction Trust
Committee the most you are willing to pay for an item. This is
your maximum Secret Bid and is known only by you and the
Auction Trust Committee. The Committee then PLACES A BID
ON YOUR BEHALF at the LOWEST POSSIBLE to make you the
high bidder for the item. If you are outbid, the Auction Trust
will up your bid by ten dollar increments until you are again
the higher bidder or until your maximum Secret Bid is reached.
YOUR BID WILL NOT EXCEED YOUR MAXIMUM SECRET BID
UNLESS YOU SUBMIT ANOTHER FORM WITH A HIGHER MAXIMUM. Check the listings on postbulletin.com each day for the
current bid level for your item. If it is below your secret maximum, you remain the highest bidder. If it exceeds your maximum, it is time for you to submit a higher bid. Should you
choose to pursue the purchase of the item by using a
Maximum Secret Bid, you save yourself the trouble of having
to submit another form when somebody outbids you. As a
result, you reduce the chances of being outbid at the last
minute before the auction ends.

ing to pay $750 for that item and
therefore submits a MAXIMUM
SECRET BID of $750 for the item.
The AUCTION TRUST COMMITTEE
enters a bid of $500 (the opening
bid) on behalf of bidder “A”, which is
the minimum needed to make bidder “A” the highest bidder.
You determine that you are willing
to pay $1,000 for the same item,
therefore you submit a MAXIMUM
SECRET BID of $1,000 for that item.
The AUCTION TRUST COMMITTEE
enters a bid for $760 on your
behalf, which is the minimum

Kindergarten will be twice

On Thursday, the Grand
Meadow School Board voted
unanimously to offer all-day,
every day kindergarten next
fall, Superintendent Joe
Brown said Monday.
A task force that pitched
the proposal to the board
had been studying the issue
since fall, Brown said.
Parents, teachers, administrators and school board
members comprised the task
force, which conducted
research and surveyed par-

The district now offers two
kindergarten sections that
run all day but only every
other day, Brown said. One
section has class Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, while
the other has it Tuesday and
Thursday, he said. They
switch schedules the following week.
About 41 kindergartners
are expected for next school
year, Brown said, calling it
“one of our larger classes.”
Grade levels usually average
about 30 to 35 students, he
said. There are 28 kindergartners this year.

have seen our energy
future and it is west of
here. It is modern and it
is archaic. It is dirty and it is
clean. It is finite and it is limitless.
During a trip to Wyoming
late last week, I traveled
across the prairies of western
Minnesota and eastern South
Dakota, where I saw dozens
of giant wind turbines —
their white arms slowly
churning like reluctant pinwheels.
A few hundred miles west
of there, in Wyoming’s
Powder River Basin, I saw
coal trains bellying their way
across the sage-choked
plains. I saw a coal plant, fed
by chunks of million-year-old
black fuel, blowing gray
vapor into a blue sky. I saw
machines as big as basketball
gyms gnawing at the earth to
get at the stuff that lights our
rooms, freezes our ice,
powers our air conditioners.
I saw once-idle oil derricks
obediently pumping up and
down as they sucked crude
from hundreds of feet below
the earth’s surface.
Life is good in Wyoming
these days. There is no state
income tax. Jobs are plentiful
— if you don’t mind working
in the oil fields or at a coal
plant. And over at the Capitol
in Cheyenne the main topic
during the 2006 legislative
session, which ended 10 days
ago, was how to spend the
state’s budget surplus of
nearly $2 billion. Not bad,
when you consider that the
population of the entire state
of Wyoming is roughly comparable to that of Minneapolis.
And things look good in
Wyoming for many, many
years to come. That’s because
our nation has put itself into
a fossil fuel predicament.
Although politicians and
others have talked for years
about the need to diversify
our energy supply — make it
cleaner, more sustainable,
less dependent on foreign
countries that hate us —
we’re still in a fossil fuel fix.
Yes, we are developing
more wind farms. And the
folks in Washington, thanks
primarily to $2.50-a-gallonplus gasoline prices, are
talking more and more about
flex-fuel cars, increased
ethanol production, and
Greg
Sellnow
other alternatives to coal and
crude. But experts estimate
it’ll be decades, maybe even
centuries, before we get to a
point where fossil fuels take
a back seat to other sources
of energy.
The March issue of
“National Geographic” has
some eye-opening material
on our fossil reliance in a
piece entitled, “The Coal
Paradox — we can’t live
without it. But can we survive
with it?”
According to the article,
our already insatiable power
demand in the United States
is expected to increase by a
third in the next two decades.
National Geographic
Senior Writer Tim Appenzeller writes that a 100-cartrain, like the ones I saw last
week, carries barely enough
coal to keep a single large
power plant fueled for one
day. These coal plants supply
nearly 80 percent of our
nation’s electricity needs.
I suppose we should feel
lucky that the U.S., with its
200-year reserves (the largest
of which are in Wyoming), is
considered the “Saudi
Arabia” of coal. But the poisonous emissions, acid rain,
climate change and soaring
asthma rates that go with it
aren’t so lucky.
Here in Rochester, we’ve
been locked in a nearly
decade-long battle to keep
long trains from coming
through a city that is just as
dependent on coal as any
other community its size.
That’s not to say we
shouldn’t try to keep coal
trains out of our town if we
can. They’re noisy and disruptive. But we have to
realize that the trains are just
a symptom of what some are
calling an addiction.
And if we care about our
children, and our children’s
children we need to start
coming clean.

Margaret Maxine Tollefsrud, age
73, Rochester died March 23rd
following a long relationship with
Multiple Myeloma. She is survived by Harris, her Husband of
nearly 55 years, her elder son
DeWaine, who along with his
wife Jane and daughter Zoe, live
in Homer, Alaska, and her
younger son Dean of Rochester,
and his son and daughter Erik
and Katrina of Minneapolis. Also
surviving is her dog Rascal, constant companion of 12 years.
Everybody who came to know Margaret, even a little
bit, remember her as being gentle and kind. Those who
came to know her better, called her a true friend that
they could count on for anything - an ear to listen, a
voice for opinion and a hand to help. These qualities
served her well in her chosen profession as a Licensed
Practical Nurse. Many of the patients she helped would
send cards, notes and gifts even years after they left her
care. She said she was “just doing my job”. Later, as a
patient in the same hospital where she had worked, her
compassion and kindness was returned in extra measure as the nursing staff found out who she was.
In the many conversations she had with members of
her family in her last months, it came out that she did
not fear dying in the least. She just saw death as the
next - and possibly transitional - step of a long (well, not
long enough for the rest of us) and happy life. Early in
her nursing career she was stationed in OB/GYN and
coaxed countless new lives into entering this world,
one that she saw as wondrous.
Her skill and passion as a gardener and lover of all
nature tempered every thing she saw. “Just look at the
yellow in that Goldfinch! Isn’t that beautiful!? How do
they stay so CLEAN?” She saw beauty in the speckles
of the Starlings and regarded even the ubiquitous
House Sparrow as a worthy recipient of the offerings at
her feeders. Though brought up Lutheran she admired
the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi and considered
him one of her heroes.
Later on in Margaret’s nursing career she worked in
other stations, where she helped another number of
people during their transition out of this same world. All
the while providing aid and comfort to each of the
stages of human growth in between. This experience of
the entire continuum of a person’s earthly life provided
her with a great deal of inner strength and tempered her
outlook on all things. During her lengthy bout with cancer she always lived in the moment. When asked about
whether she was frightened about the next long and
unpleasant procedure she would always reply, “No, not
really. This too shall pass”. This expression became her
mantra and she took genuine comfort in believing its
evident truth.
Though she would deny it, Margaret was also a great
teacher. She never saw herself as a hero or someone to
be looked up to. She taught by example. Her acceptance of things that could not be changed, her willingness to voice her concern about those things that could
and her refusal to stand in judgement of others were
pillars in her life. Her ability to
endure hardship while at the
same time thinking of the
well-being of others are lessons learned by those who
knew her and took the time to
listen. A teacher and mentor to
the end, she taught us how to
die with dignity and grace. She
truly lives on in those who
knew her.

Many are arriving late to

“In the competition
between the natural tendency to stay up late and
early school start times, a

St. Joseph’s University in

“Sending students to

School-age children and
teenagers should get at least
nine hours of sleep a day,
according to the National

The poll found that sixthgraders were sleeping an
average of 8.4 hours on
school nights and 12thgraders just 6.9 hours.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Zacarias Moussaoui, the often volatile al-Qaida conspirator, was never calmer than when
he dropped a bombshell Monday from
the witness stand at his sentencing trial:
He now claims he was part of the Sept.
11, 2001, plot.
Finally given a chance to tell his story
in his own words, Moussaoui offered a
stunning new version of his terrorist
mission: He was supposed to hijack a
fifth jetliner on 9/11 with would-be shoe
bomber Richard Reid and fly it into the
White House.
Moussaoui spoke evenly and precisely, never losing his temper or
breaking into the rants or diatribes he
has regularly delivered in court over
the past four years.
But he confronted jurors with an
unexpected question: Do they believe
Moussaoui’s new version of his role, the
starkly different version he told when
pleading guilty last April or the version
they heard later Monday from Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of
9/11 now in U.S. custody.
In a 58-page statement read to jurors
after Moussoui finished his nearly three
hours on the stand, Shaikh Mohammed
repeatedly stated that Moussaoui was to
be part of a second wave of attacks
unrelated to Sept. 11. He said he only
wanted Middle Easterners for Sept. 11
so that Europeans like Moussaoui stood
a better chance of mounting an attack
after security was increased.
His testimony started in familiar territory. He denied he was supposed to be
the so-called missing 20th hijacker of
Sept. 11. He testified he was not
intended to be a fifth terrorist on
United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed
into a Pennsylvania field — the only
plane hijacked by four instead of five
terrorists.
Then came the shock.
Defense attorney Gerald Zerkin:
“Before your arrest, were you scheduled to pilot a plane as part of the 9/11
operation?”
Moussaoui: “Yes. I was supposed to
pilot a plane to hit the White House.”
He said he didn’t know details of the
other hijackings set for that day except
that planes were to be flown into the
twin towers of the World Trade Center.
CONGRESS| IMMIGRATION REFORM
Protests might have affected vote
By David Espo
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Maybe all those
demonstrators made a difference.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
approved sweeping election-year legislation Monday that clears the way for
11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship, a victory for protesters who
had spilled into the streets by the hundreds of thousands demanding better
treatment for immigrants.
With a bipartisan coalition in control,
the committee also voted down proposed criminal penalties on immigrants
found to be in the country illegally. It
approved a new temporary program
allowing entry for 1.5 million workers
seeking jobs in the agriculture industry.
“All Americans wanted fairness and
they got it this evening,” said Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who
played a pivotal role in drafting the legislation.
There was no immediate reaction
from the White House, and Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he hoped
Associated Press
College student Antonio Nieto
demonstrates against possible
changes to U.S. immigration legislation Monday in Reedley, Calif.
President Bush would participate in
efforts to fashion consensus legislation.
“The only thing that’s off the table is
inaction,” said Graham, who voted for
the committee bill.
The 12-6 vote broke down along
unusual lines, with a majority of the
panel’s Republicans opposed to the
measure even though their party controls the Senate.
Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., seeking re-election this fall in his border state, said
the bill offered amnesty to illegal immigrants, and sought unsuccessfully to
insert tougher provisions. He told
fellow committee members that the
economy would turn sour some day and
Americans workers would want the
jobs that now go to illegal immigrants.
They will ask, “how could you have let
this happen,” he added.
Committee chairman Arlen Specter
of Pennsylvania was one of four Republicans to support the bill, but he signaled strongly that some of the more
controversial provisions could well be
changed when the measure reaches the
Senate floor. That is “very frequently”
the case when efforts to reach a broad
bipartisan compromise falter, he noted.
In general, the bill is designed to
strengthen enforcement of U.S. borders,
regulate the flow into the country of socalled guest workers and determine the
legal future of the estimated 11 million
immigrants living in the United States
illegally.

Yanukovych’s pro-Russian party
taking the largest chunk of votes
Sunday in Ukraine’s
parliamentary elections.

party came in second and
Yushchenko’s party finished
third.
Tymoshenko has publicly
pushed for a reunited
Orange Team, saying it was
the only way to preserve the
democratic and pro-Western
ideals that formed the basis
of the 2004 election protest
triggered by Yanukovych’s
ballot-stuffing bid to win the
presidency.
After the talks,
Yanukovych told journalists
they did not discuss a coalition, adding that his Party of
the Regions would wait until
there was a final vote count.
But he insisted that as the
leader of the race, his party
should take responsibility
for forming the coalition.
Asked by reporters if he
would demand that he
return to the prime minister’s job W which under
new constitutional reforms
will now be chosen by parliament — Yanukovych said
his “party will decide.”
Tymoshenko kept up the
pressure on Yushchenko
after their meeting, saying
they “have a common vision
for Ukraine’s future and for
the future coalition.”
Tymoshenko, who wants her
old job back, predicted a
deal could be signed within
a week, adding that she was
confident “that a democratic
coalition will be born.”
The Orange parties won
more votes combined, but it
remains unclear whether
they will be able to overcome deep personal animosity and forge a coalition.
With more than 70 percent
of the ballots counted,
Yanukovych’s party had a
little more than 30 percent
of the vote. Tymoshenko’s
party had about 22 percent,
significantly ahead of
Yushchenko’s Our Ukraine
party, which had a little
more than 15 percent.
The Socialist Party, which
backed the Orange Revolution and serves in
Yushchenko’s government,
was in fourth place with
about 6 percent of the vote,
followed by the Communists
with nearly 4 percent. No
other parties had made it
over the 3 percent barrier,
according to the preliminary
results.
Many analysts have suggested Yushchenko might try
to unite with Yanukovych as
an effort to bridge deep divisions. Yanukovych’s party
dominates in the Russianspeaking east, while the
Orange forces rule in the
Ukrainian-speaking west
and center.
A reunion with
Tymoshenko could be personally unpalatable for
Yushchenko, but analysts
said it is the only way for
him to preserve his support
base in western Ukraine,
where she is very popular.
A revived Orange Team
would frustrate
Yanukovych’s efforts to
return to power, but as the
expected leader of the
biggest parliamentary faction, he could still play a key
role in shaping Ukrainian
politics.
LIBERIA | WAR CRIMES
Warlord disappears before being turned for trial
By Michelle Faul
Associated Press
Associated Press
Charles Taylor
ABUJA, Nigeria — Liberian warlord Charles Taylor has disappeared
from his haven in Nigeria, just as he
was to have been handed over to
stand trial on war crimes charges,
Nigerian officials said today.
Taylor vanished Monday night from
his villa in the southern town of Calabar, the government said. Last week,
Nigeria’s government agreed reluctantly to surrender him to stand
before a U.N. tribunal on charges
related to civil war in his homeland
and its neighbor Sierra Leone.
A government statement said that
President Olusegun Obasanjo was
creating a panel to investigate
Taylor’s disappearance on Monday
night.
A presidential spokeswoman said
members of Taylor’s Nigerian security detail had been arrested.
The presidential statement offered
no details on how Taylor’s disappearance was discovered or whether he
was being hunted.
Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper
reported today that dozens of people
who had been living with Taylor in
the villa in a walled government compound had left Monday and were
flying to Lagos en route to an
unknown destination.
Obasanjo offered Taylor refuge
under an agreement that helped end
Liberia’s civil war in 2003.
Since then, though, the United
States, the United Nations and others
have called for Taylor to be handed
over to an international war crimes
tribunal.
Taylor is accused of starting civil
wars in Liberia and its neighbor,
Sierra Leone, that killed some 3 million people, and of harboring al-
Qaida suicide bombers who attacked
the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, killing 12 Americans
and more than 200 Africans.
Obasanjo initially resisted calls to
surrender Taylor. But Saturday, after
Liberia’s new President Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf asked that Taylor be
handed over for trial, Obasanjo
agreed.
African leaders have been reluctant to see the continent’s former
presidents or dictators brought to justice, apparently fearful they would be
the next to be accused of human
rights abuses or other crimes.

skinned people as well. Mexico is like the

How do you view racism in today’s
society?
Some days it feels like it is almost
gone, and other days there is so
much tension. I think it is better in terms
of acceptance. Racial tolerance is not a
taboo anymore since many are accepting
of each other. But people are human, and
will always be biased. You can’t change
that. Everyone has said at least one racial
comment at one point; whether they
believe it’s right or not.
Why do you think more people
aren’t proud of their heritage?
Acceptance. Those who immigrate
over here are new and different. Deep
inside, we are all afraid of what is new
and different because it is change. We
don’t always know what change will bring,
and it can be a very scary process. When
the new and different people come here
they are ashamed and try to be
“American.” I once was embarrassed
about my heritage when I was a very little
girl because some people were very
racist. But my mother told me to never be
ashamed, and that being proud of who
one is and where one comes from is a
very important quality.

Jerry Olson/Post-Bulletin
Brian Bennett and Anastasiya Nartovich rehearse a scene from “Rumpelstiltskin,”
which opens Friday at Rochester Community and Technical College.
Director pens new spin
By Tom Weber
weber@postbulletin.com
Jerry Casper had an easy solution when he
couldn’t find a script of the play “Rumpelstiltskin” to suit his fancy: He wrote a new one
himself.
“There are a lot of decent scripts out there,
and I liked a lot of what I read,” said Casper,
director of theater at Rochester Community
and Technical College. “But I went back to the
original story and thought, ‘There are a lot of
unanswered questions in this.’”
He rectified that by writing his own script.
So, the RCTC Theatre production of “Rumpelstiltskin” that is being presented to area school
groups this week and to the public this
weekend is, in effect, a world premiere.
But it’s not just the script that is different.
Casper took the characters of the story and
played around with their appearance. “I
thought it would be fun to make them half-puppets,” he said. “I came up with the concept and
built the first one.”
From there, a student, Ethan Savage, took

over and built a cast of puppet/people. “The
legs are fake; they walk like marionette puppets,” Casper explained.
While a delightful concept for a young audience, the puppet/people are creating challenges for Casper’s student actors.
“You have to concentrate more,” he said,
“because you have to move different than you
ever have before.”
But, Casper said, “They’re really having fun
with it.”

Bynes’ latest film, “She’s the

The movie is about a girl, Viola,
whose high school drops its girls

coach won’t let girls on the team,
Viola decides to prove him and
the team wrong by playing for a
rival school — by pretending to be
her brother.
Confused love triangles and
plenty of slapstick humor ensues.
“I just like good scripts and

very fortunate to have been surrounded

There isn’t one person in particular,

it. Everyone has to count their blessings

I would choose Sean Connery,
because he is sophisticated, elegant,

DEAR ANNIE: I am 29
years old and the youngest of
six siblings. My sister,
“Jackie,” who is two years
older, revealed a couple of
years ago that she had been
sexually abused by our
brother, “Jim,” when she was
5 years old. The abuse lasted
four years. Jim is seven years
older than Jackie.
At the time she revealed
this, Jackie told anyone and
everyone, except Jim and his
wife. Jackie’s therapist told
her to confront Jim in order
to heal, so last year, she had
a long talk with Jim. From
what Jackie has told me, they
had a really good conversation and Jim was willing to
do anything -- go to therapy
with her, confront the family,
etc. -- to make sure she would
get better. Jackie was very
satisfied with his willingness
to help her, but she told him

Opposition to violence must be absolute
There are only a few areas
in which most people view
violence as a reasonable solution to problems. In our
society, the exceptions people
are willing to make fall
almost exclusively in the
realm of international affairs.
But by what standard are we
willing to draw a line
between ourselves and other
people and declare that an
entirely different ethical
system pertains to this relationship? Why do we allow
and even advocate the killing
of inhabitants of another
region when we do not among
our own?
People everywhere value
peace and safety, but few
societies can claim to be
absolutely nonviolent. As a
moral principle and commandment, like lying or
cheating, there should be few
or no exceptions to the stan-
dard of nonviolence.
However, it seems to be the
international consensus that
war is necessary and acceptable to solve a variety of
problems. Border disputes,
religious conflicts and government turmoil often dissolve into violence and organized killing.
Interpersonal communications between opposing
nations seem to be inherently
jeopardized by the possibility
of war. Apparently we view
the international workplace
quite differently than our
workplaces at home, our
family life and our social
relationships. If we were to
accept violence as a solution
to problems in the microcosm
of our immediate lives, we
would be viewed as barbaric
and dangerous. Yet this is our
international persona.
Respect, mercy and rationality make no ethical
allowance for violence, even
as retaliation. More innocent
people are killed in counterattacks, the original conflict
is not often solved, and the
violence and instability are
perpetuated. The only victory
possible is one of domination
and force, which is not a solution in itself but a new
volatile situation.
War is by nature an assertion that the strongest is right
and deserves to make the
rules purely due to capacity
for brute force. War is a
direct renunciation of respect
for life, and is antithetical to
the value of citizenship. It is
dishonest and hateful, and
completely intolerant.
Does any disagreement
really merit the violent
killing of human beings? An
Does any
disagreement really

killing of human
beings? An eye for an
eye does not solve
the issue of hate.
eye for an eye does not solve
the issue of hate. It perpetuates it. Violent reciprocity
does not cultivate love and
respect, citizenship or compassion. Mercy does, and
therefore must be our solution; violence does nothing in
any situation to the standing
of such values in the world.
A difficult issue that arises
within this subject is one that
has been used to justify most
wars waged by the United
States. If a people is being
oppressed and killed by
another, what is the right
action for the bystander? If
peace talks, compromise and
international pressure completely fail, what should be
done? Either way, human life
is jeopardized, one group is
told their opinion is wrong
and punishable by death, and
force prevails rather than
reason.
If the would-be liberators
have abundant resources as
well as international support,
the perpetrators of the crimes
can be quarantined and
threatened with a massive
offense if a truce is not
achieved. And even then, the
oppressors should stare down
the barrel of the gun and still
refuse to comply before any
shot is fired.
The protection of human
life and the refusal to
acknowledge might as right
Hollywood not always the best judge of talent
MirrorMask — PG
Hollywood moguls complain that people are going to
the movies less and less, but
has it occurred to them that
the reason is not a loss of
interest but merely that Hollywood is sending out horrendous films and passing over
the good ones? Instead of
talking about a film which is
in theaters near you, and
going on about a film that
everyone already knows
about and has already read
numerous reviews of, I’m
going to extol the virtues of a
film which few, if any, will
have ever heard of.
“MirrorMask” opened last
September to a “wide”
release of 42 theaters, as
opposed to, say, the latest
Harry Potter film which
opened in nearly 4,000 theaters. It didn’t sport any big
names and was given a paltry
budget of $4 million. Yet
despite this, “MirrorMask” is
still one of the most outstanding and genuine films I
have seen in a long while.
The film tells the story of
Helena (played wonderfully
by Stephanie Leonidas), a girl
whose parents run a rag-tag
circus and who, like many
young people, is dissatisfied
with her life and angry with
her parents. One day her
mother collapses and is hospitalized, and shortly thereafter Helena is transported
into another world. It is a
world where shadow is begin-
ning to overwhelm the light, a
world in which unhappy
books migrate back to the
library, and a world in which
Helena must right the balance of light and shadow to
return home. It’s a fantastical
world, full of easily-befuddled sphinxes, giants orbiting
(don’t ask), and countless
other wonders. It is also a
world where each and every
inhabitant (save for the newly
arrived Helena) wears a
mask; as one character said,
“How do you know if you’re
happy or sad without a
mask?”
You wouldn’t expect earthshattering effects from a film
that boasts a $4 million
budget, but the highly-stylized
visuals of “MirrorMask” are
more than adequate — they
are appropriate. The film’s
unique design is based on the
art of Dave McKean, who also
directed the film. But beyond
the visuals and effects is
something even more
uncommon, something that
isn’t found in many of the
films playing at the local multiplex: soul.
“MirrorMask” was written
by Neil Gaiman (who resides
near Minneapolis), the awardwinning writer of graphic
novels, children’s books and
novels. “MirrorMask” is chock
full of the charm and wit that
are Gaiman’s signature, and
also the rather dark edge.
The world presented is not
an entirely kind one, and the
people are not perfect either,
the combination of which
gives “MirrorMask” the
realism that takes it out of
the fantasy realm. Helena is a
real and full person, a girl
who thinks the grass will be
greener on the other side and
finds out otherwise, a sentiment many can relate to,
unlike the more prevalent
themes in mainstream films:
the “I’ve-fallen-in-love-withtwo-women-and-don’t-knowwhat-to-do” theme, the “I’velost-my-mother-and-beenestranged-from-my-father-for30-years-and-am-in-financialtrouble” theme, and most
popular the “I’ve-awakenedthe-dead-and-now-they’retaking-over-Brooklyn” theme.
So even though it never
played in a theater near you,

DEAR ANNIE: My coworker, “Sue,” monopolizes

it concerns her or not. She

directed to me and butts in

her. I’ve tried fighting back,
but the effort seems futile.

is doing all these things while
the rest of us work. I have 20
years in my job and cannot
leave because my husband is
disabled and I have a family
to support. Please help. -Tired of Being Pushed Aside
DEAR TIRED: If everyone
else thinks Sue is wonderful,
you aren’t going to make
much progress complaining,
so it would be best to learn
some coping skills. Don’t get
into power struggles with
Sue. When she butts in to
your conversation, say
politely, “I’m sorry, I think
that question was directed at
me,” and then answer it
before she tries again. Make
sure you receive appropriate
credit for your work and
ideas, but otherwise remain
as pleasant to Sue as possible.
DEAR ANNIE: I am writing
in response to the letter from
“Concerned Grandparents,”
whose grandson says he has
times when he “spaces out.”
Please tell the grandparents that this could be a sign
of petit mal epileptic
seizures. Our daughter also

when she was 11. She eventually had a grand mal seizure,
and that’s how we learned

have a brain tumor. We hope
the parents will have their
son examined thoroughly.

Furst
Opinion
should be the prevailing concern in such situations. The
best way to annihilate violence is to discard war as a
solution. If we are to live
together on one Earth, and
remain true to our religious
and ethical standards, we
must denounce violence as
one community.
Only through non-violence
can we preserve and further
the reach of love and respect
in all of our relationships,
whether with people or
entire nations.

By Shaun Conlin
Cox News Service
Easily the best-looking Xbox 360
game yet — and typically dazzling on
the original Xbox — “Fight Night:
Round 3” isn’t just another pretty face.
Nor a pretty battered one, for that
matter. Nor one that deforms with gracious grotesqueness when an “Impact
Punch” connects with a
cheekbone. Though the
term “lifelike” is used too
liberally in the videogame
parlance, it’s actually true
here. Plus, it’s all that and
a genuine sport simulator,
too, all the more remarkable when you consider
that the sport of boxing is
much more nuanced than,
say, kicking a ball or slapping a puck, and otherwise hard to convey through a control
pad and virtual visuals. Yet it manages
most adroitly.
To control a boxer in
is a delicately intelligent affair thanks to
superb and intuitive
use of the analog
thumbsticks (think
quick flit or semicircle
round-house on the
right) to control the
power behind the
punches, the fades, the
counters ... you can just
use the face buttons if you like, but
you’d be missing the point.
Nobody drives a Ferrari for its
great second gear.
Guys that come out swinging,
looking to land a haymaker for a
KO in the first round, don’t usually last long while players that
can pull off a convincing rope-adope usually do. “Tekken” this is
not.
This iteration of the alwayssolid “Fight Night” franchise
does away with the heads-up display (HUD) in its entirety, so you can

stamina of your chosen pugilist by, well,
paying attention. A tired boxer moves
more slowly; a damaged one has a lilt
in his stride, that sort of thing. Patching
up your battered boy between rounds is
a frightfully effective indicator, too, of
course. Who knew you’d ever be able to

It’s all good.
Score: 3 out of 5
While essentially the same game as its Xbox
and Xbox 360 counterparts, “Fight Night: Round
3” for PlayStation 2 suffers in a couple of key
areas and, thus, doesn’t quite measure up.
Graphics aren’t as good,
which is typical of any
game downgraded to suit
the lesser specs of the PS2
— much better looking
than many PS2 games,
mind you, but still ...
The real kicker is the
“FNR3” online multiplayer component, better
described as a multiplayer
incompetent on PS2. It’s
riddled with lag and never-better-than-poor
matchmaking (e.g., teleporting button-masher vs.
sweet-scientist bouts more often than not), which
pretty much makes it a waste of time. Still, it’s a
great single-player boxing game, probably the
greatest on the Sony platform, but not the complete package offered on the Xbox systems.
The biggest problem with “Fight
Night: Round 3” for PSP is that
they call it “Fight Night: Round 3.”
It gives the impression that production and licensing costs for this otherwise superlative franchise
were spread
across all platforms, with the
least amount actually making it to
the PSP versions.
In fact, had EA
dropped the
whole coattailriding, multi-platform marketing
shtick and just called this
“Portable Pummel: Round 1” and
released it with “value” pricing,
they might have had a critically
commendable game here.

hapless underachiever in most
other respects. It conveys the pain
of pugilism not with gameplay, but
with load times conveying a sense
of “Oh my aching battery, you’re
draining and I’m not even playing.”
The sweetly scientific analog control of its console counterparts is
all but missing in the PSP version,
making it mostly about button
mashing, further
befuddled by the
triple-jointed
ergonomics of the

DEAR HELOISE: A gift

subject to handling charges
varying from $2.50 after six

company to whittle the card’s

ill friend received several gift
cards from well-wishers
wanting to ease his convalescence. They were set aside,
as he couldn’t get out to use
them and didn’t want to

found them, they also found
that several had diminished
quite a bit due to these smallprint handling charges.

looked down upon his

was difficult and he
closed your weary eyes.

broke our hearts to lose
you, but you did not go
alone, for parts of us
went with you the day
God called you home.

COMMENT
Don’t lower the rim
for women’s hoops
You can argue about the
quality of Tennessee forward
Candace Parker’s dunks in an
NCAA tourney game last week.
You can say she really just
slipped the ball over the rim,
rather than slamming it or executing “throw downs,” as some
analysts called them.
I wouldn’t disagree too much.
Still, twice the 6-foot-3 redshirt
freshman got the ball above the
rim, one-handed, and stuffed it.
Pretty cool. I hope she does it
again, just because the dunk is
so rare in the women’s game.
What I hope I don’t see is
any more discussion of lowering
the rims so more female players
can dunk.
Lower the rims and you lower
expectations for performance.
How low would be low
enough anyway? Low enough
so a certain class of players
could feel good about being
able to dunk?
Hey, while we’re at it, let’s
make the court half as big so
female players don’t have to run
as far as the men. And shorten
the duration of each game so
the women don’t have to play
as long as the men. Hey, let’s
shorten the season to, say, 10
games so female players would
have more time to bear children
between seasons.
Let’s be realistic. Lowering
expectations is no way to treat
an athlete. You want them to
aim high, not to settle.
Why can’t we just wait
patiently and watch women’s
basketball evolve and celebrate
its achievements as they come?

In Wednesday’s Sports
It’s a rough time for
Minnesota sports.
Post-Bulletin
sports editor
Craig Swalboski
gives his
thoughts
regarding
the recent struggles.
A national championship under his
belt, David Zellmann can’t quite
believe his good fortune.
The Lewiston-Altura grad was a key
member of the Winona State basketball team that won the Division II
national title Saturday in Springfield,
Mass.
The senior guard said winning the
crown still hasn’t sunk in.
“Not quite yet,” he said. “It’s still
kind of shocking; everyone’s still in
disbelief. I kind of think in the next
couple of weeks it will sink in.”
Zellmann closed his stellar career
at Winona State with just under 2,000
points. He was named to the Division
II All-Tournament
and hopes to
Guy Limbeck Team
get a chance to prolong his career at
the next level.
“It’s a possibility
I’ve looked at,” Zellmann said of a possible pro career.
“No one has contacted me as far as
Local Sports agents or tryouts.”
Zellmann isn’t
Notebook
thinking about the
NBA, or even
playing in the United States. There
are plenty of professional basketball
leagues in Europe. A team might consider him, though rosters are usually
limited to one or two players per
team from the United States.
“It’s definitely something I’d consider doing,” he said. “It would be
more likely overseas.”
The 22-year-old accounting major
still has another year of school before
he graduates, however, and, “That’s
another thing I would have to weigh,”
he said.
• Saturday also turned out to be
quite a day for the Drinkall family.
Senior guard Tyler Drinkall guided
Rushford-Peterson to a Class A state
championship in boys
basketball. He scored
22 points, had seven
rebounds, five assists
and three steals in a
55-52 win over
Ellsworth in the
finals at Target
Center in Minneapolis.
Joining Zellmann
in Springfield, Mass.,
T. Drinkall
Josh Drinkall was
helping Winona State win the men’s
basketball Division II national championship over Virginia Union. Josh
Drinkall, a 1998 Rushford-Peterson
graduate, is an assistant grad coach
for Winona State.
“My brother’s their assistant (grad)
coach, and they won so it’s a real
double-double,” said Tyler Drinkall,
who was named the MVP of the Class
A tournament.
“A good day for the Drinkalls,” R-P
athletic director Brad Johnson said.

By Pat Ruff
Associated Press
Winona State’s David Zellmann tries to pass between two defenders during the Division II National Championship game Saturday.
versity of Minnesota men’s track and
field outdoor season opener at the
Bay Area Blast Off in Berkeley, Calif.
Erickson, a graduate of Century High
School, posted NCAA regional qualifying marks in winning the shot put
with a throw of 60 feet, 91⁄4 inches, and
an effort of 183-3 in the discus.
Another athlete from Century,
Gophers redshirt freshman Ben Puhl,
won his first collegiate title, winning
the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 9 minutes, 33.7 seconds.
• The Rochester Honkers have
announced a trio of players that will
join the wood-bat baseball team this
summer.
Ben Jukich, a 6-foot-4 left-handed
junior pitcher from Dakota Wesleyan
(Mitchell, S.D.) will return for his
second season with the Honkers.
Jukich is in his first season with the
Dakota Wesleyan Tigers after transferring from McCook Community College.
“Ben was a real surprise for us (last
season), but by the time he made his
last start he had become our ace,”
Honkers manager Greg Labbe said.
“When he took the mound, he knew
he was going to win and so did his
team. I feel that Ben will only be
better for us this summer in
Rochester.”
Last season with the Honkers,
Jukich was 6-1 and led the team in
ERA (2.60) and strikeouts (68).
Also signing with the Honkers are
Kyle Bowley and Scott Eckard, both
from the University of South Carolina-Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C.
Bowley is a sophomore infielder and
right-handed pitcher who returns for
his second season with the Honkers.
Eckard is a sophomore right-handed
pitcher who is new to the team.
Last year, in 57 games, Bowley hit
.270 with three home runs, 31 RBIs
and 25 runs scored for the Honkers.
He also started six games as a
pitcher, going 1-3 with a 4.80 ERA.

33-yard field goal with
seven seconds to play.
It was announced earlier
this year that “Monday
Night Football” would
switch to ESPN after
spending 36 seasons on
ABC. ESPN hired Mike
Tirico, former Redskins
quarterback Joe Theismann
and Washington Post columnist Tony Kornheiser to
man the broadcast booth,
replacing Al Michaels and
John Madden, both of
whom went to NBC.
As things stand right now,
Vikings quarterback Brad
Johnson will be starting
against one of his former
teams.
The Vikings traded
Johnson to the Redskins in
1999, and Johnson made the
Pro Bowl, but left after the
2000 season for Tampa Bay.
He returned as Daunte
Culpepper’s backup last
season, but became the
starter after Culpepper was
injured against Carolina
and helped the team to a
7-2 finish. He then was promoted to the No. 1 quarterback when the Vikings
traded Culpepper to Miami
earlier this month.
State wrestling titles are nice.
But there is actually something
better.
Just ask Stewartville’s Mike
Schmitz and Wabasha-Kellogg’s
Zach Sanders. On Friday in Pittsburgh, Schmitz claimed his first
national wrestling crown, while
Sanders landed his fourth.
Schmitz and Sanders have the
benefit of being able to compare
the two. Early this month, the
respective juniors left Xcel
Energy Center in St. Paul with
gold medals around their necks
from the Minnesota state tournament —
Schmitz at 160
pounds in Class
AA, Sanders at
112 pounds in
Class A.
There was
plenty of thrill in
that. But last
week was
Sanders
another level.
“This was really something,”
Schmitz said of the National
High School Coaches’ Association Junior Nationals, where all
participants are in their junior
year of high school. “The atmosphere was really intense.”
Turned out Schmitz’s most
competitive match happened
right off the bat. That’s when he
beat a wrestler out of New
Jersey 5-4. None
of his remaining
three matches
were as close,
including him
winning by pin
in the finals.
Schmitz says
he was never

this tournament.
Having gotten
Schmitz
over a sinus
infection that plagued him
during the state tournament had
something to do with that.
“At nationals, I think I was in a
lot better condition,” Schmitz said.
“I could actually breathe this time
(with the infection gone).”
It’s been a season of firsts for
Schmitz, the state and national
crowns both new to him.
For Sanders, it’s been a season
of fourths. He now owns four
state titles and four national
ones. The bulk of the latter came
in 2004, when he won three
championships in a national
tournament in Fargo, N.D. He
swept the freestyle, folkstyle and
Greco-Roman crowns.
Sanders has become such a
national high school star that he
can even compare those titles.
The Fargo ones, he says, were
best.
“That tournament in the summertime in Fargo, that is the
biggest national tournament of
the year,” he said. “That is the
most well-known tournament
there is (for high school
wrestlers).”
But the top medal he earned
last week in Pittsburgh, there
was plenty of luster in that, too.
“I beat some pretty good kids,”
Sanders said. “So it is an honor
to win it.”
Sanders’ closest match came in
the finals, when he won 8-4.

Roger Benson plays hockey.
While that in itself isn’t a big

At 69, Benson still skates two

Benson, a Winona native, has

he can’t stop now.
“I can motor pretty good

Benson says he doesn’t have

get tired.
But he has no intention of

“Physically, it makes you

Dana’s deadly crash
may remain mystery
MIAMI (AP) — The scarred, twisted remains of Paul
Dana’s No. 17 Panoz race car lay under a tarp Monday
at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the biggest clue in a
mystery that may never be solved.
Dana died Sunday after sustaining what officials
described as “multiple trauma injuries” in a two-car
crash during a warmup for the season-opening IRL
IndyCar Series race at Homestead.
The league plans to look into the possible causes,
but the only thing the computers in Dana’s car — or
the videotape of the crash — is likely to tell them is that
the rookie driver, with all of three IRL races under his
belt, kept his foot on the gas until a few tenths of a
second before impact.
As for why, well — the only person who could likely
have answered that question was Dana himself.
Ed Carpenter’s spinning car, which had crashed seconds earlier and glanced off a concrete wall, had nearly
come to a halt when Dana suddenly appeared, flying
off turn two on the 1.5-mile oval.
It appeared Dana never slowed, bearing down like a
200-mph missile — two hours later, he was pronounced dead. While Dana said he was 30 and listed a
1975 birthday in media guides, there were reports that
he was actually 32 and born two years earlier.
The wreck left everyone wondering whether Dana
even saw the caution lights flashing along the
speedway walls, or heard the words of his spotter, who
team officials say tried to warn of the danger ahead.

Eagle just can’t stop dancing
PHILADELPHIA (KRT) — Eagles linebacker Dhani
Jones couldn’t stop dancing, and it led to his arrest
early Sunday morning in Miami Beach. Jones was
arrested at 2:54 a.m. and charged with failing to obey a
lawful command, according to the police report.
Jones was dancing with an unidentified female in the
middle of the street in front of the Snatch Rock ‘n’ Roll
Bar and Lounge.
According to Miami Beach police spokesman Robert
Hernandez, Jones was obstructing traffic. The charge is
a misdemeanor.
“He and a female were dancing in the street,” Hernandez said Monday night. “When asked to leave, the
female figured it out and left, but he kept dancing in the
street by himself.”
Hernandez said that a situation like this isn’t unusual,
especially in the heart of spring break season.
It appears Jones should make a TV appearance on
“Dancing with Celebrities.”

A ‘crazy’ time for Bonds
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Seven home runs shy
of passing Babe Ruth, this should be a time of unbridled joy and excitement for Barry Bonds.
Not so, he says.
“My life is in shambles. It is crazy,” Bonds said
Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. “It
couldn’t get any crazier. I’m just trying to stay sane.”
Then, clearly joking, he went for shock value:
“Go to the Empire State Building and jump off,
commit suicide and people can say, ’Barry Bonds is
finally dead.’ Except for in San Francisco,” he said. “I’ll
leave something for them.”
Despite those pronouncements, the 41-year-old
Bonds has been upbeat and approachable — by his
standards — this spring despite the recent release of
“Game of Shadows,” the book detailing his alleged
longtime regimen for taking performance-enhancing
drugs.
He appears unfazed at the plate. He’s 10-for-16 with
four homers in exhibition play despite being held out of
San Francisco’s lineup for the third straight day
because of a tender left elbow.
If Barry needs help finding the Empire State Building, I

CHATTER
Packer more than a rallying cry
Announcer will be
working his 32nd
straight Final Four
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — George
Mason fans have been yelling
“Bill-eee Pack-er! Bill-eee Packer!” with great glee after each of
their NCAA tournament wins.
They have latched onto Packer
as the embodiment of the powers
that be in college basketball.
When they stick it to “The Man,”
they like to think The Man looks
just like a bald-headed, hardheaded Wake Forest grad who
used to be the voice of Putt-Putt
golf.
Does Packer
care?
Not really.
“I don’t know
whether to take
something like
that as a compliment or a dig,”
he said by
phone Monday
Packer
from his Charlotte home. “So I
just take it to be a comical thing.
I laugh about it.”
Packer, the color analyst for
CBS at this weekend’s Final
Four in Indianapolis, hasn’t seen
George Mason play live all
season. Nor Louisiana State. Nor
UCLA. Of the Final Four teams,
he has broadcast only Florida in
person.
“This NCAA tournament has
begun with the best two weeks
I’ve ever seen,” Packer said.
“There’s so much uncertainty. So
many close games. And it has
produced a Final Four a whole
lot different than the one I anticipated.”
No matter. It’s a sure thing
Packer will do a fine job on the
Final Four games this weekend
alongside Jim Nantz — the 32nd
straight Final Four that Packer
has worked as a TV analyst.
No other college basketball
Scott Fowler
analyst has the instincts for the
game that Packer does. Along
with John Madden on the NFL
and John McEnroe on tennis,
Packer is one of my three
favorite sports analysts working
today. Why? You learn something
when you listen.
A sizable portion of America
would disagree with that statement. Like Packer, much of my
regular-season college basketball
coverage is confined to the ACC.
At every ACC campus, someone I
run into rips Packer. Mostly it’s
along the lines of
“I know,” Packer said, before I
finish the question. “It’s ‘Why are
you so against us?’ I get that all
the time. But to me, there must
be some balance there if
everyone is saying that.”
Packer, 66, is caustic. Curmudgeonly. He doesn’t hobnob with
coaches and doesn’t know their
wives’ names. He cares only
about the game and its swirling
patterns he often recognizes a
half-second before everyone else.
And even his interest in the
games has its limits.
“I’m not a sports fan,” Packer
said. “And I have no rooting
interest for anybody.”
So why has Packer become the
man George Mason fans love to
hate? Because, on the March12
CBS show that announced the
65-team tournament field, Packer
questioned strongly why midmajor conferences such as the
Missouri Valley and the Colonial
Athletic Association (which
includes George Mason) got atlarge bids that could have gone
to schools from power conferences.
Nantz — Packer’s play-by-play
partner on the top CBS
announcing team — struck much
the same tone. Consequently, the
two have been recently viewed
as apologists for the big-time
conferences.
Sports Illustrated’s March 27
issue criticized the duo as “smug
TV talking heads” and proclaimed: “in Bracketville, it’s the
Year of the Midmajor — or, if
you’re CBS broadcasters Billy
Packer and Jim Nantz, the Year
of the Horse’s (Butt).”
Monday, Packer didn’t say he
was wrong. Like Fonzie on the
old “Happy Days” show, that’s
not a word he uses often. Packer
did point out that he was hardly
alone in underestimating George
Mason and said his criticism of
the mid-majors had been blown
out of proportion.
Packer noted the Patriots were
barely ranked all season and
that no basketball expert in the
world, including him, would have
picked George Mason to defeat
Michigan State, North Carolina,
Wichita State and Connecticut in
an 10-day span.
So now, on Saturday at
6:07p.m., Packer will finally see
George Mason play in person —
against Florida in the first Final
Four semifinal. He was busy
Monday thinking about the
research he wanted to do
between now and then.
“It’s a lot easier for me to talk
about UCLA or LSU or Florida
basketball history than George
Mason,” Packer said. “Do you
know who George Mason’s
leading scorer of all-time is, for
instance?”
I had to look it up. It’s a guy
named Carlos Yates.
Packer will know that name
before Saturday, for certain.
Maybe he’ll work it into the telecast.
It’s far more certain that, if
George Mason pulls its fifth
upset in a row, the chaft “Billeee, Pack-er! Bill-eee Packer!”
will resound in Indianapolis.
And Packer will chuckle.

NEW YORK — George
Mason provided a monumental
memory Sunday for anyone
watching its upset of Connecticut. And while there were
many questions to ask this
team, that premise was lost on
the brainiacs running CBS
Sports.
Instead, viewers again were
treated to the Designated Dope

CBS/Sports Illustrated basketball analyst Seth Davis decided
it was best to play viewers for
fools while playing the role of
one himself. On the screen, we
all saw George Mason coach
Jim Larranaga, surrounded by
his team, during halftime of the
Florida-Villanova game.
And here’s the penetrating
comment Davis had for the
coach: “Hey Jim, this is Seth.
Frankly I’m too excited to think
of a question to ask Jai Lewis. I
want you to turn to him next to
you, stick the microphone in his
face and ask him a good question that he can answer for

Even by normal network standards this was embarrassing. It
was a cringe-producing session
that’s becoming more common
on network sports studio shows.
Larranaga asked Lewis how
good it felt to be going to Indy
next week.
Couldn’t Davis have asked
that question — lame as it was?
Still, Davis did have another
shot. Maybe he was just trying
to warm everyone up.
Maybe he was getting set to
ask Larranaga: What did you tell
your team after Connecticut sent
the game into OT? What kept
the Patriots going?
No such luck.
Davis continued down the

improbable
moment of fame
Associated Press
FAIRFAX, Va. — The coach
of perhaps the most improbable Final Four team in
NCAA history was running on
pure adrenaline. George
Mason’s Jim Larranaga had
slept for only two hours, and
his extremely hoarse voice
didn’t deter him
from what essentially became a
day of nonstop
talking.
His idea of
lunch was to take
four reporters out
for hamburgers at a fast-food
restaurant, where wellwishers kept stopping at the
table to offer congratulations.
And, of course, his cell phone
wasn’t quiet, either.
“Hey, Stick, how are you?”
Larranaga’s voice boomed as
he took a call.
“Stick” is Ralph Sampson,
who played at Virginia when
Larranaga was an assistant
coach there. Sampson and
Larranaga were on the wrong
side of the greatest upset in
college basketball history,
when NAIA Chaminade upset
the No. 1 Cavaliers in 1982.
Now the tables have been
turned. Larranaga’s Patriots
have put together the greatest
run of upsets the NCAA tournament has ever seen. The
11th seed has defeated half of
last year’s Final Four and the
two previous national champions, culminating with
Sunday’s 86-84 overtime
stunner over Connecticut.
“Thank you, Ralph,” Larranaga said. “You know how
hard it is to get there. To
have this team do it, beating
Michigan State, Carolina,
Wichita State and Connecticut is just unreal.”

O’Conner said he didn’t
lobby fellow committee members for Mason.
“If I had to lobby for our
team,” he said, “then what I
would have been saying was
that our team wasn’t good
enough.”
George Mason’s selection
was criticized by many, but
no one did so in a more
public forum than CBS commentators Billy Packer and
Jim Nantz. Packer and Nantz

Committee members aren’t
about to say they voted for a
team for sentimental reasons,
but it would have been hard
to fault them for giving Larranaga a break. He toiled for
11 seasons at Bowling Green
and has been at George

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. —
Connecticut needed a lastsecond shot. Top-seeded
Duke breezed in.
Either way, now it’s going
to get really hard.
The Huskies and the Blue
Devils play tonight in the
Bridgeport Regional final
with the winner advancing to
the Final Four in Boston this
weekend. It will be the first
meeting between the
national powers in the NCAA

“I don’t care if you have

highs with 28 points and six
3-pointers.
“We’re not guaranteed a

she said. “We could have

every game like it’s your

Next season has to wait
because the Terrapins still
have plenty left on this year’s
plate.
Maryland is in the Final
Four for the first time since
1989. They got there by overcoming fifth-seeded Utah’s
tough zone defense and
motion offense and battling
through a nasty stomach
virus that swept through the
team, coaching staff, band
and cheerleaders in the 24
hours leading up to the
game.
“I just shows you the heart
of this team, to be able to
grind out such a difficult
game,” Frese said of what
the Terrapins had to grind
through in Albuquerque.
“What are the odds that you
would see something like
this happen to a team?”
Better yet, what were the
chances Frese could get
Maryland so far so fast?
Maryland athletic director
Deborah Yow was banking
on it when she hired Frese
away from Minnesota, where
Frese led the Gophers to a
22-8 record and the second
round of the 2002 NCAA
tournament in her only
season there. Prior to Minnesota, Frese had led Ball
State to back-to-back winning
seasons.
“As far as I was concerned,
there wasn’t any risk,” Yow
said. “Brenda had already
made a mark at Ball State
and Minnesota. That doesn’t
happen by accident.”
Besides, Maryland was
offering Frese all the staples
for success.
“She was at Maryland,
where we had financial support, administrative support,
a beautiful arena. The ACC
as a conference and academics. We have 73 academic
programs ranked in their
respective top 25.”
LSU returns to Final Four
Stanford’s best player had
the ball with time running
out and her team down by
one point.
Then LSU’s top player, the
one voted the nation’s best
last year, got in the way.
Seimone Augustus capped
a memorable second-half
performance by drawing a
charge with 4.8 seconds left,
sending the Lady Tigers past
the Cardinal 62-59 on Monday
night and into the Final Four
for the third straight year.
“It’s just about taking
risks,” Augustus said. “She
was kind of out of control for
a minute and I saw an opportunity to take a charge.”
Candice Wiggins blamed
herself for being “a second
too late.”
“I just couldn’t get there in
time,” she said.
Making it worse for Stanford was that as the whistle
blew, Wiggins passed the ball
to Krista Rappahahn for a 3pointer that of course didn’t
count.
“It is disappointing to get
this close and to see the ball
go in the basket and then
have it taken away from
you,” Cardinal coach Tara
VanDerveer said. “I just
think that’s a really tough
way to lose a game. It really
surprised me that that would
be called then. ... It seems at
that point it would be a nocall.”

him into second on the year-to-date

and starting, his legs get tired,
but he has no intention of
slowing down.
Along the way, Benson became
involved in senior hockey in
Alaska and has been playing
senior hockey since then.
“Physically, it makes you work
and you feel better,” Benson said.
“Some people fish, some people
bowl, I just happen to work at
this.”
He spends his summers in
Alaska and said he played on six
different teams there.
“This is my offseason, really,”
Benson said. “In Anchorage I
skate six days a week.”
He’s been working at it since
he was a youngster playing
hockey in Winona. He played for
Winona High as a ninth-grader
when the school went to the state
tournament in 1952.
Senior hockey is popular, he
said, with some tournaments featuring up to 12 70-and-over teams.
“I’m the only American,”
Benson said.
“I got noticed in the state tournament,” Benson said. As a
result, Minnesota coach John
Mariucci allowed him to join the
team in 1955.
He goes back to Alaska every
summer. He has two daughters
who live there.
“It’s home to me,” he said.
“Back then you couldn’t play as
a freshman,” he said. “I played
with Herb Brooks, and Lou
Nanne was a freshman when I
was a senior.”
Winters are spent in Winona. In
Anchorage, Benson said, the

will last over 21 hours.

instilling the love for hockey in

Best trappers
can get trapped
The one part of poker tournaments
that can rattle inexperienced players
more than any other is heads-up play,
because they have fewer chances to gain
that kind of experience.
The end game usually requires a
change of strategies. You play a wider
range of starting hands, you play them
more aggressively, and you take more
chances in trying to
trap your opponent.
Poker
But beware: Even the
best trappers get
trapped.
“Miami” John Cernuto, a former air
traffic controller, capPlaying
tured the European
Like a Pro heads-up championship
in 2003 and was back to
defend his title in 2004.
He reached the quarterfinals, where he
ran into Carlos Mortensen, the 2001
World Series of Poker champion.
Mortensen drew pocket fours and
raised from the small blind. Cernuto
called with K-5 of hearts. The flop came
K-6-4, two hearts, giving Cernuto top pair
and a flush draw. Mortensen, meanwhile,
flopped a set of fours, a powerful hand
heads-up, and checked.
“I know I’ve got a big hand,” Cernuto
said, “but I don’t really want to bet the
pot and have him move in on me,
because he did raise. He might have an
A-K or two aces. Had he bet, I probably
would’ve moved in on him. But he didn’t
bet, so I checked it also.”
The turn came the 8 of spades. Now
Cernuto has a gutshot straight draw to
the 7 to go along with his top pair and
flush draw. Mortensen checked again, a
move Cernuto read as weakness.
“I didn’t think he was savvy enough to
check the nuts to me two times in a row,”
Cernuto said. “I figure you’re trying to
make some money on this hand, so I gave
him no hand. I bet my pair of kings with
a flush draw and a straight draw. I bet
pretty much the pot. The pot was $14,000.
I bet $16,000.”
Mortensen moved all in. Cernuto had
him covered.
“I didn’t like that, but at that point I
was pretty much pot-committed,” Cernuto said. “I had to call off another
$22,000. If I win it’s over. If I lose, he’s got
a 2-1 chip lead on me. I figured I’d give it
a shot. I figured maybe the kings were
good, but I didn’t think so. I was hoping
he had maybe the A-Q of hearts and he
was trying to make a play on me. But it
didn’t work out that way. He had a
hand.”
The river came the queen of clubs. No
help to Cernuto.
“The only thing I could’ve done was
check it behind him again (on the turn),”
Cernuto said, “and he probably would’ve
bet me $15,000 on the river and I probably would’ve called. But instead I went
after the pot.
“I was sitting back waiting to trap him.
I did it a few times. But he never did it
enough where I could crush him. That
one hand turned it around for him. He
went on to eventually win the tournament.”

Athlete at random
Evan Enquist is a tennis player
for Rochester John Marshall. The
junior, who broke a bone in his
hand and was forced to play lefthanded last year, is also a soccer
player for JM in the fall.
Post-Bulletin: What did
breaking your
hand and then
changing over
from righthanded to lefthanded teach
you a year
ago?
Enquist: It
taught me how
important your
body is to you.
Enquist
Enquist: I think our team is
going to be really good this year.
We are much deeper, and with
me playing healthy now, we
should be better. I think it could be
tight with Mayo and Century. I
really like our team. We have the
best time together.
P-B: You’re an excellent tennis
and soccer player, and also a 4.0
student. But what do you like to do
in your spare time?
Enquist: I love just hanging out
with my friends and my girlfriend. I
spend a lot of time just relaxing.
— Pat Ruff
pruff@postbulletin.com
You know, it was hard playing lefthanded, but it was also fun. I had
to retrain myself how to play, going
back to where I had started from. I
definitely wanted to put in the
work to make it happen.
P-B: Tennis is your No. 1 sports
love, but what is the best thing
about playing on the soccer team?
Enquist: It’s just fun playing in
a stadium (in soccer). There are
just so many more fans there. It’s
fun to play on a big team in front
of a lot of people.
P-B: JM has been behind Mayo
and Century in terms of tennis
strength the past number of years.
Do you see that changing this
season?

Outlook: The Yellowjackets have
nine starters back and 15 players
overall returning from last year. Tom
Corcoran of JM was All-Region, AllState, All-Division when the outfielder
hit seven home runs. Greg Polt of
JM was 5-2 on the mound. Mike
Regnier was an All-Division, All-State
and All-Region player in 2004 but sat
out last year. Coach Hucke feels the
Yellowjackets have plenty of depth as
well as quality players on the squad
and have a solid chance of making a
strong postseason run. Hucke says
Ridgewater, the national NJCAA D-III
runner-up in 2005, is the team to
beat in the state and that Dakota
County should be in the top half of
the MCCC Southern Division. Fergus
Falls and Itasca will be the favorites
in the Central and Northern divisions.
“We feel that this may be our best
team yet,” Hucke said, “so it will be
interesting to see how it all pans
out.”
Coach Hucke’s quote: “Our conference is one of the toughest in the
country and any one of us could
make a solid run for a national
championship.”

RCTC SOFTBALL
Head Coach: Jean Musgjerd, 11
years
Assistant coach: Shelley Boettcher
Returnees: Jenny Yust (OF, DoverEyota) will transfer to UW-Stevens
Point next year for studies and to try
out for the softball team.
Transfer: Jessica O’Leary (SS,
Farmington).
Freshman: Melissa Schmidt (P/2B,
Red Rock Central); Sarah Mainz
(2B/3B, Farmington); Jenny Johnson
(OF/1B, Northwood, Iowa); Grace
DeVries (Fillmore); Debby Esser
(OF/3B, St. Peter); Erin Tilford (C,
Dover); Jill Johnson (OF, Farmington);
Amanda Epland (3B/OF, Glenville);
Brittany Gladis (1B, Chatfield).
Outlook: RCTC has just 11 players
on the roster. But the Yellowjackets
will have good depth on the mound
with up to four quality pitchers who
will see action. If one or more of the
pitchers turn out to be dominant, the
Yellowjackets could have a strong
season. “We are in a great position
with pitchers. As the season progresses we will have to see what we
do with the rotation, but it is a great
problem to have,” Musgjerd said. The
team will be inexperienced early on
with just one veteran back. O’Leary
and Gladis both join the team after
having played basketball at RCTC.
“They both bring some good athletic ability along with the talent that
we already have,” Musgjerd said.
Ridgewater and Fergus Falls look
to be the teams to beat in the conference. Dakota County Technical College and St. Cloud Technical College
are both new to the MCCC South
Conference for softball.
Coach Musgjerd’s quote: “I think
(we) have some great versatility and
speed in our lineup this year. Yust,
Tilford, O’Leary and Jill Johnson have
some good speed. Jill Johnson is
also a quality slapper/dragger from
the left side and will be exciting to
watch. Both Gladis and Jennifer
Johnson are good targets at first.”

Amusements
Quote of the day: “Guess, if you can, and choose, if you dare.” — Pierre Corneille, French dramatist and poet (1606-1684).
Holiday
Mathis
TOMORROW’S BIRTHDAY
(March 29). Your intuition is so
powerful this year. Tools such as
meditation help you access
inner wisdom and have an
immediate transforming effect on
your days. A personal struggle
ends in April, and finances
improve as a result. New associations in August become your
dream team. Virgo and Scorpio
people cheer you on to your ultimate success.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Recent inquiries,
pitches and presentations do not
get the response you want. You
will think this proves you were
wrong, but wait and see. Wrong
sometimes takes a very long
time to be proven.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Your primary job is to
take care of yourself. Sometimes
this is best done by involving
yourself in the welfare of others,
but not today. Do something
nice for you and only you.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). There will be noise
and excitement to contend with.
You finish your work in spite of it
or maybe because you can’t
wait to get involved. As usual,
you thrive when you’re at the
center of the buzz.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’re about to make
a giant leap into a new phase of
life. It’s a good one -- hard won
and well worth all your sincere
effort. Don’t force it. Let it roll
over you in a big, warm wave.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Put
your sensors out in the
cosmic energy field. The ideas
that come will seem outrageous
but, if applied, will definitely
improve your life. Tonight brings
the perfect environment for
sorting out a relationship issue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Listen to some favorite
music or make your own. Your
creative juices flow freely.
Laughter comes easily and feels
natural. The stars show money
activity in the coming weeks.
Prosperity is richly deserved.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’ll miss subtle innuendos around you -- secret
opinions, relationships, etc.
Later, you’ll think, “How’d I miss
that?” You’re no worse off in your
oblivion. It’s called being
focused, and that’s what it takes
to win!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). It’s the perfect day for
immersing yourself in your passion. Out of this involvement
come new relationships with
people who become increasingly interesting the more you
get to know them!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The happiest
people are those who enjoy
what they already have. Gratitude is a powerful statement.
Use tonight to recharge batteries and reconnect with
friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You may be
feeling rather paranoid about
something you said in confidence. What are the consequences if this secret gets out?
Think it through, then let it go.
Dwelling on the possibility gives
it power.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The one who listens
attentively to your musings is a
gem -- a diamond among lumps
of coal. Do not take this person
for granted. In fact, consider
keeping this person forever.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). In Hollywood, there’s
a saying that “You’re only as
good as your last picture.” This
seems to apply to life today, as
you feel like you’re being
assessed at every juncture.

reception
over the weekend performing at a jazz fesfor Patti.
tival just outside West Palm Beach, Fla.
LaBelle labored through the Saturday
night concert at the Riviera Beach Jazz &
Blues Festival after taking the stage at midnight, at one point sitting down and crying.
“I’ve never been this embarrassed in my
life,” she said, wiping away tears. “This
sucks. It’s the worst show I’ve ever done in
my life.”
As temperatures dropped into the low
50s, LaBelle explained that she’s nearly 62
and has diabetes and a heart murmur.
But, worst of all, she couldn’t shake the
chills — even after stage hands spent 10
minutes bundling her up in socks and
gloves and a wrap.
LaBelle tried to belt out a few notes, then
told fans huddled under blankets that she understood if they walked out on her.
And they did.
A steady stream of folks headed out during her 45 minutes on stage, even though
they had sat through hours of opening acts and two hours of Eric Benet’s lounge jazz.
LaBelle struggled through “Lady Marmalade” with assistance from a few in the
crowd, and sang some gospel songs and “On My Own” before exiting.
Stripping with Sting
Elder rockers Sting and David Bowie
won’t be singing together anytime soon, but
the musical duo are reportedly planning to
open a burlesque club in New York, the
London Daily Mail reports.
Sting is such a fan of Big Apple strip
joints that he has decided to open his own,
and he’s hoping Ziggy Stardust will be
among his backers.
The former Police-man, who is known in
NYC for asking strippers to keep their
clothes on during lap dances, is planning to
launch an East Coast satellite of Hollywood
strip club Forty Deuce in Manhattan.
Such A-listers as Brad Pitt, Uma
Thurman, Hugh Hefner and George Clooney
are known to visit Forty Deuce. It even has
its own reality TV show, on Bravo.

live at the Las Vegas Hilton through 2008.
The hotel announced Sunday that the 59year-old singer will keep crooning at the Sin
City hotel for two more years.
Manilow opened his “Music and Passion”
show at the Hilton in February 2005 after
his “One Night Live! One Last Time!” tour
in 2004 was thought to mark the end of his
live concerts.
But Manilow’s career hit an updraft when
his latest album, “The Greatest Songs of the
Fifties,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard
200 chart on Jan. 31 and then went platinum, selling more than a million copies.
Manilow’s four-night-a-week show changes
nightly and features a cast of 14 in a 1,700seat theater. Tickets range from from $95 to
$225.
