Fraud probe grows
Man shot
to death

What to do if you think you’ve been defrauded
A 25-year-old man died of a
gunshot wound in Rochester early
today, and police are investigating it
as a homicide, according to police
Capt. Brian

Winters.
Police are www.postbulletin.com
investigating
whether the homicide is connected
to a nearby car fire and another
man who showed up at Saint
Marys Hospital with a gunshot
wound near the same time, Winters said.
Police were called about 4:50
a.m. to the 5400 block of Weatherstone Circle N.W., where they
found the man dead in a residence.
At 5 a.m., they got a call from
Saint Marys that an adult male had
showed up with a gunshot wound.
HAYFIELD — When deciding where to
invest their money, Georgena and Kevin
Linbo said they did not hesitate to trust
their friend and local insurance salesman
Dale Schlichting.
“There were a lot of people in town that
did invest in him feeling he was local and
trustworthy,” Georgena Linbo said.
Now the couple is reeling from news that
Schlichting has been charged with
defrauding dozens of people. Georgena
Linbo said she has no idea how much money
the couple may have lost as part of the scam.
“He has taken in a lot of people and
taken their confidence and trust in him and
really just tore people apart,” she said.
Since Schlichting’s arrest on Wednesday,
the state’s Department of Commerce has
been flooded with more than 100 calls from
people who say they have invested money
with the owner of Hayfield’s DSI Agency,
said department spokesperson Patrick
Sexton. Based on those calls, Sexton said
officials fear Schlichting may have bilked
hundreds of people out of tens of millions
of dollars.
Schlichting, 48, of Austin, was charged
this week in Dodge County District Court
with two counts of insurance fraud and a
count of theft by swindle, all felonies.
According to the criminal complaint, state
officials revoked Schlichting’s insurance
license in 2003, but between Oct. 1, 2003 and
March 1, 2006, 23 people wrote checks or
gave money order to Schlichting made out
to Investors Marketing Management Cooperation for an amount totaling $722,670.80.
That money was deposited into his personal
business accounts.
Some of Schlichting’s clients said they had
known him for years and had no reason to
question his integrity.
“That’s what makes it tragic. The people
he is preying on are friends, neighbors and
relatives,” Sexton said.

U.S. Port Security:
Voting 421 for and two against, the
House on May 4 passed a bill to
deter terrorists' cargo, such as
nuclear devices, from entering U.S.
ports. The bill authorizes $7.4 billion
over five years, although actual

bill requires electronic screening
only of containers thought to pose

War, Katrina spending:
Voting 77 for and 21 against, the
Senate on May 4 approved nearly
$109 billion in deficit spending for
the current fiscal year, including
$70.9 billion for operations in Iraq
and Afghanistan, $28.9 billion for
Gulf Coast hurricane recovery, $4
billion in response to farm disasters,
$2.5 billion for countering a flu pandemic and $2.5 billion for border
and port security. The bill was sent
to conference with a $91.9 billion
House measure. President Bush
said he would veto any final bill
costlier than about $94 billion. A yes
vote was to pass the bill.
Veterans vs. disaster workers:
Voting 39 for and 59 against, senators on May 4 refused to transfer
$20 million in HR 4939 (above) from
AmeriCorps, the federal community
service agency, to veterans' healthcare. AmeriCorps backers said the
$20 million would underwrite agency
participation in the Gulf Coast's hurricane recovery.
Sugarcane earmark:
Voting 40 for and 59 against, senators on May 2 defeated a bid to strip
HR 4939 (above) of $6 million earmarked for helping Hawaii sugarcane growers recover from floods.
The outlay, which would be added to
national debt, would benefit a cooperative comprised of the Gay and
Robinson Sugar Company and the
Hawaiian Commercial Sugar
Company. The cooperative last year

Buffet bans family for
leaving too much food
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Wendy Dershem may think
twice before leaving that egg
roll on her plate at her next
Chinese buffet.
The Des Moines woman,
her boyfriend and her two
children were kicked out of a
restaurant last week after
management accused her of
leaving too much food on her
plate.
“They told us we are not
welcome there anymore,”
said Dershem, a repeat customer at the Dragon House
buffet. “We waste too much
food. But the buffet is all you
can eat. And you know kids.
They won’t always eat everything and they want something else.”
Dershem said she paid her
$5.95 fee on Saturday but was
abruptly told to leave after
eating one plate of food.
Employees said they had
been watching her family on
previous trips to the restaurant and were fed up with
her habits.
“They just take one bite
and throw it away,” said
cashier Lin Huyen. “They
Bob Oberbillig, an adjunct
professor at the Drake Legal
Clinic, says the patron would
have no legal case against
exclusion from a business
unless there are other factors
such as racial discrimination
or mental health issues.
“An establishment can
exclude people if they smoke
or waste food,” he said. “It’s
still a private business.”

Cookbook sales
Wichmann said.
His recipes for gritwurst,
head cheese and summer
sausage were among his
favorites. Even if his children didn’t eat them, his customers did.
Now, those recipes and
more than 800 others from
family and friends are compiled in a cookbook titled,
“Melvin’s Meals: A Cookbook
for a Cure,” that is being
sold as a fundraiser for the
American Cancer Society
Relay for Life.
Nord, who still lives in
Zumbrota, pursued the idea
of the cookbook as a way to
honor Raasch who had three
types of cancer during his
life. Raasch survived skin
and esophageal cancer, but
went blind after he had
radiation treatment for a
tumor on his carotid artery
in 1996.
“He fought all his cancers,
but he couldn’t fight blindness,” Wichmann said. “He
gave up and prayed to go.”
Raasch’s family submitted
recipes in his memory while
friends offered more recipes
in memory of other loved
ones who have died or been
diagnosed with cancer.
“This is a way that people
can fight back against the
hopelessness that cancer
gives you,” Nord said.
Real 24k Gold Colored Roses

The cookbook is in its
fourth printing. About 1,100
copies have been sold so far,
raising about $10,000 for the
cause.
It’s just one fundraiser of
many organized by the Zumbrota Relay for Life teams
who participate in the event
in August at Covered Bridge
Park. Wichmann and Nord
are among 30 members of
the team known as “Raasch’s

Gray wolf probably migrated from Wisconsin
WINONA, Minn. —
Although wolves are rare in
southeastern Minnesota, U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service biologist in St. Paul Ron Refsnider
said it would not be too surprising to find a wolf in
Winona.
It would, however, be surprising to find a dead wolf,
like the one found on U.S.
Highway 61 last week.
Biologists said the wolf
appears to be a gray wolf and
about 2 years old.
Refsnider said the wolf
probably wandered into the
state from Wisconsin, where
wolf packs can be found near
Fort McCoy and the Black
River State Forest.
Gray wolves are a threatened species in Minnesota
are protected by the federal
Endangered Species Act.

• Showed rapid onset.
• Affected young, healthy adults
most often.
• Spread through troops serving
during World War I.
• Came in three waves. The first, in
March, appeared in soldiers on a

Each wave became more deadly,
and the last continued in the United
States through spring 1919.

of frequenting the shop at least

whiskers seem to be holding their
own on many faces,” an article says.
“However, there is no ban on
whiskers, so let them grow — for
winter is coming.”
The Engel family was among the
first to be hit. Parents Edward and
Augusta died, leaving three children; Elsie, 6, Merton, 4, and George,
2.
“It was hard to realize that so
strong and robust man, the picture
of health, but a few days previous,
could have fell a victim in so short a
space of time,” Mr. Engel’s obituary
says. “He was ill less than a week.
He immediately contracted pneumonia and survived but a few days.”
John Grander, 19, died of pneumonia, a common occurrence, after
nine days.
“His death seems the harder when
it is realized that practically the
whole family were ill at the same
time, two other brothers still being
very low. Surely the cup of sorrow
for this family has been filled to
overflowing,” his obituary says.
On Monday, Nov. 11, 1918, the
Daily Post and Record, a forerunner
of the Post-Bulletin, carried a story
headlined “Plainview Flu Now Subsiding; Reports show that epidemic
at village near here is on the wane.”
“Next Sunday will be cemetery
Sunday for St. Joachim’s parish at
Plainview,” the article says. “The
members will go in a body to the
cemetery where services will be
held in memory of the parish dead,
including those who were victims of
influenza and pneumonia during the
recent epidemic.”
After the outbreak subsided, residents were thankful it wasn’t worse.
“We should be very grateful
indeed to Almighty God that it is so
well with us in Plainview as it is,”
the Church of Christ bulletin says.
“Let us make our Sunday service
one of praise and thanksgiving as
well as one of supplication.”

Pandemic: A global outbreak of serious illness that
spreads easily from person to person.
By Jeff Hansel
Look no further than your
neighbors across the border
if you want to know what a
pandemic would be like if it
hit today.
The Iowa mumps epidemic
that started with a few cases
but rapidly multiplied to
hundreds and reached into
surrounding states demonstrates how a pandemic
might unfold, said Kari
Etrheim, health education
manager for Olmsted County
Public Health.
“The mumps outbreak
that’s happening in Iowa
should remind us how
quickly a disease can
spread,” she said. “Illness
can spread very, very quickly
— and that’s in a vaccinated
population. So what happens
when it’s a novel virus and
people are not vaccinated?”
Between them, two airline
passengers infected with
mumps took nine commercial airline flights within
nine days. Health officials
worried that could spread
the illness.
Etrheim said that scenario

She said the public needs

won’t be enough ventilators,
and there won’t even be

residents will know what to

might be “fever clinics.”
Instead of going to a hospital, anyone with a fever
would go to the fever clinic.
“We’re all going to be in
this together,” Etrheim said.
Residents will have to listen
to instructions that will be

progress of the pandemic.

facility. Conversely, parents
arriving to “rescue” their
child could infect their own
child and also spread the illness to the U of I campus.
Etrheim said people
should already be practicing
some of the behaviors that
would be needed if a pandemic happens.
“People go to work when
they’re not feeling well, and
that is one piece that we
really want to impress upon
individuals and businesses,”
she said. “Go home. Work
from home. Avoid church.
Avoid social events.”
• Wash hands frequently with soap
and water. Use antibacterial hand
sanitizer when soap and water are
not available.
• If you are sick, stay home and
stay away from others as much as
possible.
• Watch for updates about
pandemic influenza nationally and
internationally.
• If a pandemic occurs, remember
to use information hotlines that
will be established.
• Educate yourself. Read about
pandemic flu; listen to radio and
television stories.
• Be ready to respond as directed
by state and local health officials.
• Eat a balanced diet, get plenty of
rest and exercise daily.

Online gambling competes with Canterbury
“We’re talking millions of dollars
(nationwide) being bet that the horsemen and
the track get nothing from.”
— Tom Metzen, Horsemen’s Benevolent
and Protective Association
last year, largely because
more people bet online from
home. The $5.3 million
decline hurt the purse fund.
Track officials are pursuing
bills that would legalize
online betting, allow slot
machines at the track or
expand Canterbury’s card
club. They are studying ways
to profit from development of
Canterbury’s 380-acre site.
For now, they’re hoping their
horses can draw more money
during the racing season.
Canterbury’s 2006 season
runs 69 days, ending on Labor
Day. The track is open yearround for betting on races
simulcast from elsewhere.
Canterbury’s share of those
bets accounts for about 40
percent of its purse fund and
25 percent of its revenue.
Last year’s decline meant a
$200,000 drop in purse funds
generated by simulcast betting. Good business at Canterbury’s card club offset that
loss. But after several years
of annual purse increases,
the 2006 fund will remain at
last year’s level of about
$150,000 per day.
“We’re talking millions of
dollars (nationwide) being bet
that the horsemen and the
track get nothing from,” said
Tom Metzen, president of
Minnesota’s chapter of the
Horsemen’s Benevolent and
Protective Association. “We
have to find ways to redirect
some of those funds to
horsemen.“’
In states where Internet
gambling is legal, some U.S.based sites pay a fee to tracks
in the bettor’s home market.
If account betting were
authorized in Minnesota, Canterbury could collect fees,
and establish its own online
betting site.
Rep. Andy Westerberg, RBlaine, introduced a bill this
year that would legalize
online betting, but it is
unlikely to pass this session.
“We’re trying to find a way
to get a handle on something
that’s already happening,”

SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Canterbury Park is facing some
competition from Internet
betting. So the racetrack
plans to implement some
changes this season to keep
bringing bettors to the races.
As its horse racing season
begins today, Canterbury
Park will have roving mutuel
tellers taking bets on the
grounds, upgraded betting
machines, and more opportunities to help inexperienced
players try to pick winners.
Canterbury President
Randy Sampson knows the
improvements alone can’t
compete with online betting,
which is illegal in Minnesota.
“We think focusing on live
racing is the way to grow it,”
Sampson said. “For better or
for worse, that’s(the direction
we’re forced to go.
“As some of the core simulcast players decide to stay
home and play on the
Internet, we have to find
ways to develop new players.
This isn’t just a short-term
trend. What we’ve seen so far
is just the tip of the iceberg,
and we’ll have to continue to
figure out how to compete.”
Canterbury’s simulcast
handle, which is the total
amount bet, fell 8.3 percent
said Westerberg, chairman of
the House Gaming Division.
Tim Peterson of Edina, a
longtime horseplayer who has
used account betting since
1993, said he understands the
plight of horsemen and the
track, but he likes the convenience of playing at home.
“Instead of relying on prohibition, Canterbury is right
to think in terms of trying to
make it legal,” Peterson said.
“The industry needs to get a
breakout of the revenue
straightened out.”
In the short term, Sampson
hopes improvements Canturbury has made will generate
more money from its live
racing season.
“We’re not going to stop
Internet gambling,” Sampson
said. “We’ve got to do the best
we can to keep our customers
coming out and to try and
grow the business through
things like more tables at the
card club.”

Digest
ROME — European food safety experts have good news
for dieters with a sweet tooth, announcing Friday that
the popular sugar substitute aspartame does not raise
the risk of cancer.
An Italian study last year wrongly concluded that the
sweetener led to higher rates of lymphoma and leukemia
in rats, said an independent panel of scientists advising
the European Food Safety Authority.
The new review found that the number of tumors did
not increase in relation to the dosage of aspartame fed to
the animals. Many of the rats in the study had suffered
from chronic respiratory disease and that was the most
likely cause of the tumors, the panel said.
The findings support a huge U.S. federal study
released last month, which found no link to cancer in a
study of aspartame use among more than half a million
Americans.
The European panel said its assessment should put the
lid on years of debate over the sweetener found in thousands of products, including diet sodas, chewing gum,
dairy products and even many medicines.
“There is no reason ... to undertake any further extensive review of the safety of aspartame,” said Iona Pratt, a
toxicologist who headed the panel.

NASA looks to recruit new, younger blood

EU panel: sugar substitute no cancer risk
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s work force is
graying and the agency lacks a long-term plan for luring
qualified workers to help send astronauts to the moon
and Mars, a National Research Council report says.
NASA’s 18,400 workers, along with the tens of thousands of contract employees, face the end of the space
shuttle program in 2010 and the development of nextgeneration vehicles that will allow astronauts to go back
to the moon and eventually explore Mars. The two projects require different skill sets, forcing NASA to keep
space shuttle workers in place, while at the same time
designing, building and testing new vehicles.
The lack of major turnover at the space agency has
added to the aging of the work force and the lack of
younger employees. NASA only hired 411 new engineers
in 2005, or about 4 percent of the 10,700 engineers at the
agency. Only a quarter of NASA’s engineers and scientists are under age 40.
Mine rescuers slow in drilling escape tunnel
BEACONSFIELD, Australia — Trapped in a tiny steel
cage nearly 3,000 feet underground for 10 days, two Australian gold miners still haven’t lost their sense of humor.
“They call where they are a two-star hotel — they’re
the two stars,” said Matthew Gill, manager of the century-old Beaconsfield Gold Mine in Tasmania state.
Rescuers drilling a narrow, 52-foot-long escape tunnel
toward Brant Webb, 37, and Todd Russell, 34, passed the
halfway stage Friday night. The miners were waiting for
colleagues to come close enough to use hand tools to
delicately chip away the last few inches of rock.
They were trapped by an April 25 earthquake.
It’s reported what Webb and Russell are eating, how
they are sleeping — on the iPods rescuers pushed
through a tube that connects them to the outside world.
Drilling teams have been working around the clock,
cutting through solid rock at a rate of 18 inches an hour.
Students target good summer jobs
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Millions of
high school and college students around the country are
engaged in an annual rite of
spring — the search for a
well-paying summer job.
For some, it’s a chance to
get experience in a field that
eventually may become a
vocation. For others, it’s a
way to begin building a
resume. And for most, it’s an
opportunity to earn pocket
money or accumulate savings
for college.
Career counselors say the
strong economy means that
there are a lot of work opportunities for teens and college
students.
“This year feels better than
recent years,” said Deborah
T. Chereck, director of the
Career Center at the University of Oregon in Eugene. “I
think the marketplace in the
Northwest — and nationally
in general — is seeing
improvement.”

“Don’t make one call and

’Sorry, we don’t have anything

“If it’s a job you really want,
be persistent.”
Handal said that for many,
job experience is more important than earning money. So
some try to work for free in
hospitals, law offices or
accounting firms just to learn
about the businesses.
“A lot of students are creating their own internships —
often without pay — to create
a resume that will help when
they look for a permanent
job,” he said.
Some young people can get
help finding summer jobs
through community groups or
local government agencies.

as city government departments.

After determining that most

she found a summer internship program with nonprofit

Commentary
University funding proposal raises red flags
$44,000
$13,000
By Gene Pelowski
An editorial in Tuesday’s Star Tribune opines that the Legislature
should not go home this session
without making a downpayment of
$5 million on the
future University of
Minnesota in
Rochester.
A research firm
in Pittsburgh has
concluded that the
$60 million yearly
budget that will be
needed for the new
campus — one that
is projected to serve
approximately 1,400 Pelowski
students — is a good
investment.
What value are we really getting
for that $60 million? Just to com-
Projected expenditure per student at the
future University of Minnesota in Rochester
Average amount the Minnesota State Colleges
and Universities system spends per student
pare, in 2005, UM-Duluth spent an
average of $10,500 on each of its 10,
496 students; UM-Morris spent $15,
680 on each of its 1,684 students,
and UM-Crookston spent $7,175 for
each of the 2,134 students enrolled.
The Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities system spends an
average of $13,000 per student.
Projections for the UM-Rochester,
however, show it will spend about
$44,000 on every student. It is hard
to believe there would be an adequate return on this investment.
To seek further clarification, go to
the same report on UM-Rochester
that was used for the editorial in
the Star Tribune. Here’s what you
will find: By the year 2015, the total
for operating and facility costs for
UM-Rochester is $63.3 million. However, it only has identified funding
sources of $36.7 million, leaving a
funding gap of almost $27 million.
In other words, UM-Rochester is in
the red almost from the beginning.
To add to this budgeting dilemma,
no new source of money has been
identified for higher education. The
obvious conclusion to be made is
that the UM-Rochester would be
paid for at the expense of students
at every other college and university in our state.
Are the supporters of a new college in Rochester so dazzled by the
idea that they are overlooking the
facts? These are big questions that
need answering, before any investment of public funds is made in
Rochester. Budgeting decisions such
as these belong in state budgeting
years — not passed as part of a
Deficiency and Supplemental
Budget Bill as a “good investment”
without competing against the other
real needs of MnSCU, the University of Minnesota and the private
colleges.
In a perfect world, where we
spend as much money as we want
on our colleges and universities, the
UM-Rochester is a good idea. But
we don’t live in a perfect world. We
live in a world that has significantly
cut state funding to higher education since 2003, a world where more
and more of our students cannot
afford higher education, and those
who do, pay double-digit tuition
increases and leave with record
high debt.
Here is the message to those of
you who want a new college in
Rochester: We no longer fund the
wants with regard to higher education in Minnesota. The challenge
now is to fund our needs; they are
great, and I’m not convinced they
include a new university in
Rochester.

lion below the Senate. The
budget resolution sets our
target for supplemental
spending in a nonbudget
year. Many statewide needs
require additional appropriations; the provisions for
higher education in
Rochester and the Mayo/
U of M Genomics Partnership
alone account for nearly $23
million. When the target
amount was approved, I
could foresee that we would
end up where we are today
— debating where the money
would come from to pay for
important initiatives around
the state, including the
genomics partnership.
I firmly believe the state
should continue to invest in
the Mayo/U of M genomics
partnership. Last year, the
Legislature appropriated $15
million toward the partnership. This year, we are
of the past. Anglers in Minnesota should not have to
worry about eating the fish
they catch.
Residents might be interested to know that the eminent domain, and the conservation and natural resources
dedicated sales tax bills are
currently in conference committees, where members of
the House and Senate are
compromising on the major
differences between the two
bills. I anticipate that these
bills will emerge for a final
vote, before the session ends.
Closer to home, at the
beginning of the session, the
House passed a budget resolution of about $88 million,
which I opposed because it
was inadequate. The House
resolution was $120.8 million
below the governor’s recommendations and $300.6 mil-
seeking $18 million.
I have been and will continue to advocate in both
bodies, to make sure funding
is secured for the partnership.
It took teamwork and
bipartisanship to pass the
higher education provision
off the House floor Monday. I
believe this is a very important milestone in higher education for southeastern Minnesota. RCTC, Winona State
University and the growing U
of M presence will continue
to create the future bioscience, health-care and technological workforce our state
demands. Our success at the
Legislature is a result of
strong community advocacy
for higher education and representation in all four legislative caucuses.
The process of putting
together the bonding bill is
progressing. I will continue to
advocate for local bonding
projects. Nearly all of our
local projects have a great
chance of being included in
the final bonding bill that
will emerge from conference
committee in a couple of
weeks. In the end, I believe
our area once again will benefit from having a bipartisan
legislative delegation that can
work to pass these bills.

Genomics offers are insults
Both DFL, GOP fail enormously with paltry proposals
I
The issue:
The Mayo Clinic
and the
University of
Minnesota are
working together
to research
genomics.
Our comment:
The Legislature’s
dearth of funding
for the
partnership
amounts to a
monumental
failure.
t is troubling that the Minnesota House and Senate,
one run by Republicans and
the other by Democrats, have
undervalued the possibilities
that could come from state
funding for the Mayo Clinic-University of Minnesota genomics
research partnership.
The DFL-controlled Senate
moved only $2 million toward
Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s
$18 million supplemental budget
request for funding for the partnership. Then all eyes turned to
the House, where typically the
Republican majority matches
the governor’s request.
Then, in what was truly a jawdropping act, House Republicans approved only $100,000 for
genomics. It was an amount that
might be considered an allotment for cleaning supplies but
certainly not enough for medical
research with the potential to
change humanity.
Instead of genuine support,
lawmakers from both parties
offered an insult for what could
become the most important economic development effort in
Minnesota’s history, and that’s
not an exaggeration.
The back story is that the DFL
did not like that Pawlenty’s proposal would be funded through
a draw from the state’s Health
Care Access Fund.
It’s true the fund was origi-
nally intended to be a tax on
medical providers to support
Minnesota Care, a state-funded
health insurance plan. However,
a broad interpretation of the
tax’s intent would assign it to
more general medical initiatives. This is Pawlenty’s perspective, and in this case it is the
right one.
More hopeful background is
that the paltry House figure is
just something called a “placeholder,” meaning more money is
coming when the House and
Senate merge their respective
supplemental spending bills.
This may or may not happen. It’s
quite possible that the real
problem is a lack of broadbased support for funding
genomics.
What the Senate DFL did was
shortsighted but could be called
a negotiating ploy. What House
Republicans did was to demonstrate there is no understanding
of this issue’s importance.
When House Republicans
really want something, they vote
together. Rarely do they so
nakedly abandon Pawlenty.
Now is not the time to assign
blame, but what has happened
has been a monumental failure
to see the future.
Rochester lawmakers from
both parties must work harder
to educate their caucuses about
what is at stake. It is crucial that
the funding be restored.

Victim of crime is unclear
For the past six months,
I’ve been staring at a 30pound box filled with court
documents and what’s left of
a young man’s life following
one college night and a fiveto 15-second disputed sex
act.
That is, five to 15 seconds
into the act of sexual intercourse, she said “stop.”
He stopped immediately.
She claimed rape.
Thus, before his 23rd
birthday, Rich Gorman of
Orlando, Fla., was locked
behind bars in the Liberty
Correctional Institute near
Tallahassee, serving a fiveyear sentence for sexual battery.

prison inmate labeled a sex
offender.
I’ve hesitated to write
about the case because all
such cases are complex, as
we’ve been reminded the
past several weeks by the
rape case at Duke University. Gorman’s case bears
little resemblance to the
Duke episode, except that
both involve youth and
alcohol, a toxic combination
in the sexual arena of he
said/she said.
The moral of Gorman’s
story, which can’t be proved
or disproved in this limited
space, is that boys and men
accused of rape have little
hope of reclaiming the life
they once knew, regardless
of whether they’re guilty or
innocent.
Any objective person

Gorman’s case would wonder
how he landed in prison.

call Chastity, contradicted

Letters to the editor
Extremists are bad negotiators
You cannot negotiate with a religious fundamentalist. It doesn’t matter what religion
you are talking about.
The true believer of an ideology that promises forgiveness and rewards for horrific acts
and self sacrifice cannot be reasoned with.
Eric Rudolph, Mohammad Atta and the many
thousands of Japanese soldiers who chose to
sacrifice themselves for what they believed
are obvious examples of this.
They can be killed or incarcerated, but
unless they change their belief that they are
fulfilling the word of God, negotiating is not a
viable option.
Today we are faced with Iran, a nation
ruled by a fundamentalist regime, that seems
to be intent on the acquisition of nuclear
weapons, the destruction of Israel and an
apocalyptic confrontation between Islam and
Western civilization. Islam, the religion of
peace or submission to the will of God, has
produced more suicide/homicide bombers
than any other since the end of World War II.
Now it appears that Mr. Ahmadinejad, the
president of Iran, is a true believer of Islam
and seems to seek or welcome martyrdom on
a national.
Should Iran develop nuclear weapons, I
fear, it will use them and the entire world
will be at risk.
When martyrdom is an acceptable form of
political statement, negotiations will be fruitless.

Teens deserve our support, trust
I’m a licensed alcohol and drug counselor
and have worked with teens the past 20
years. I have also raised four of my own
children. I was so glad reading your editorial regarding, “Teens get a bad rap.”
Teens do get a bad rap. I always hear,
“Everyone is using drugs and alcohol, and
this generation is nothing but problems.”
That could not be further from the truth.
The majority of teens are caring and
responsible.
It did not surprise me in the least that
Nick Seavy went to the aid of someone in
distress. I would expect that from any teen.
These are young adults learning how to
make good decisions, and the majority of
them are. Our teens need continued support and role modeling from adults. Not to
be told how they continue to “screw up.”
Your editorial is a great start.

Mayo students on way to science fair
By Edie Grossfield
egrossfield@postbulletin.com
Two incredibly excited freshmen
girls from Mayo High School are on
their way to Indianapolis today to
compete in the Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair.
Project teammates Frances Bruce
and Jing Chen are two of four students in the state whose success at
the Minnesota Academy of Science
State Fair qualified them for the
international event, which takes
place Sunday to May 3.
Their project, which got them to
the state fair after success at the
Rochester regional fair, tested the
effects of cell phone use on concentration and driving.
To say they are enthusiastic about
going to the international fair would
be an understatement.
“It’s such a big deal, just going.
We’re ecstatic about it. ... I can’t get
to sleep,” exclaimed Bruce on
Wednesday.
The fact that they are going is
impressive, said Bruce’s science
teacher Deb DeYoung, who encouraged the two students to take their
project as far as possible.
“Freshmen usually don’t get
selected, and there were just a few
from the Rochester regional fair
anyway. So, it’s quite an honor for
them,” DeYoung said.
About 1,500 students from more
than 40 countries will be participating in the international fair. They
will be competing for scholarships,
grants, internships, field trips and

the grand prize: a $50,000 college
scholarship.
Hopes of receiving any of those
awards have Bruce and Chen
planning to do the best they can to
impress the judges.
“The judges come around and you
get five minutes to explain your
project to the best of your ability.
And, hopefully, we’ll win over their
hearts,” Bruce said.
Their project involved two tests of
concentration on a group of adults
and teenagers. In the first test, participants navigated computer driving
courses, one while talking on a cell
phone and another without talking
on the phone.
In the second test, the participants
had to complete two sets of multiplication problems, one while talking on
a cell phone and one without talking
on a cell phone.
After tallying up scores on the tests
and comparing performances with
and without cell phones, they
concluded that cell phone use
significantly impairs concentration.
Furthermore, they inferred that
such impairment could lead to car
accidents.
Aside from their solid scientific
practice, Bruce said she thinks their
project attracted judges’ attention
because it is so relevant today.
Both students said that their
research has convinced them not to
use cell phones while driving.
Bruce and Chen said they both
think they want science careers.
Chen is interested in medical science
and engineering. Bruce said she may
want a career in biology.
“I’m not sure. I’m open to anything.
But this science fair has opened our
eyes to so many opportunities, I think
for both of us,” Bruce said.
Scientists, engineers strong in Rochester workforce
By Michael Klein
mklein@postbulletin.com
If it seems as if the
streets of Rochester are
thick with eggheads, well,
they are.
Rochester has one of the
nation’s highest
percentages of scientists
and engineers in its
workforce, according to a
new study from the
National Science
Foundation.
It was ranked seventh
nationwide, with scientists
and engineers accounting
for 8.7 percent of all
employees.
That was the highest in
the Midwest, well ahead of
Madison, Wis., the next
highest Midwest city at 15.
Rochester has a strong
concentration of
knowledge-based jobs,
thanks to Mayo Clinic’s
physicians and
researchers and IBM’s
programmers and
engineers, said Jennifer
Ridgeway, regional labor
market analyst for DEED.
In another indicator,
Olmsted County generated
18.4 patents per 10,000
population in 1999, well
above the state average of
5.4.
That’s considered
important in today’s world.
“In this global
environment, knowledge
and innovation are keys to
setting you apart from
other areas,” Ridgeway
said.
“As we think about
global competition and

jobs going overseas, the
things you have left are
the people you have and
the new innovations they

The report, called
“America’s Pressing
Challenge — Building a
Stronger Foundation,”
says that science and
engineering workers have
a big effect on society,
contributing to technology
innovation, economic
growth and increased
knowledge.
In the last half-century,
the size of the science and
engineering workforce in
the United States has
grown 2,510 percent, and
that workforce continues
to grow 3 to 4 percent
faster than other jobs, the
report said.

I’ve been riding my bike to work
most days of the week, lately. I’ve
been doing it for my health. I’ve
been doing it to save money on gas.
And I’ve been doing it because
my 16-year-old daughter daily has a
new and creative reason for why
she absolutely has to have a car
today. Such as needing to drive a
friend to the mall after school, so
she can shop for a pair of jeans.
This is not a huge sacrifice on my
part. I live only about a mile from
the P-B, and it takes me about the
same amount of time (about seven
minutes) to bike to work as it does
to drive. However, I think I need to
invest in a rear fender for my bike,
because if the roads are wet I
show up at work with a skunk
stripe of dirt and mud up my back.
That’s just doesn’t look very professional.
I hope I’m on the cutting edge of
a trend. As the price of petrol
creeps up and up, commuters are
eventually going to have to do some
things to cut back on how much
they drive.
Consider the options.
Car pooling is a good one for
some. But, inevitably, you’re going
to end up with someone in your
group who is habitually late. Or
who wears aftershave or perfume
that smells like dryer exhaust. Or
who chatters incessantly about the
weather or how the Twins did last
night at a time of day when all you
want is to drink your coffee in
silence.
The bus is another good option.
But you have to figure out all of
those complicated schedules, and
the buses don’t always run when
and where you need one.
And, of course, you can always
walk. This is the most healthful
option, but unless you have a stride
like Yao Ming, it’s going to take you
20 minutes or more to cover a mile.
So, that leaves the trusty bicycle
as the best option for those who
leave the car in the driveway while
they go off to work — or a quick
trip to the library or grocery store,
for that matter.
I don’t want to get ahead of
myself here, though. A lot needs to
be done before cities like
Rochester can accommodate a
hefty increase in the number of
bicyclists on our streets, sidewalks
and bike paths.
First, the motorists who choose to
continue driving everywhere they
go need to be aware that bicyclists,
like pedestrians, are not invisible.
Today, on the way to work, a
woman abruptly veered in front
of me to pull into a parking
space, causing me to slam on the
brakes to avoid becoming a decal
on her rear windshield. (This is
not, however, to suggest that bicyclists should be given special
treatment. I’ve taken to altering
my route to work on school days
because a certain kindly crossing
guard was routinely walking into
the middle of the crosswalk with
her stop sign when I approached
to help me across the street. I
appreciate her generosity, but it
was kind of embarrassing.)
Second, businesses have to do
more to accommodate bicyclists.
Bikes are easily stolen, usually
by kids who just hop on and
drive them off. So, retailers and
employers have to start installing
bike racks to which cyclists can
lock them.
Finally, communities need to
become more bike friendly. As a
byproduct of extensive flood control along its creeks and rivers,
Rochester has more miles of bike
paths than most communities its
size. But there’s more that could
be done to make biking a safe
transportation alternative, especially on the city’s busiest — and
dangerous — streets. More bike
lanes and dedicated bike routes
would help.
Ultimately, though, I hope
biking becomes a popular transportation alternative.
It’ll cut down on harmful exhaust
emissions, reduce demand for fossil
fuels, and who knows; maybe it’ll
even make some of us thinner. OK,
biking isn’t the cure-all for pollution, dependence on foreign oil and
obesity.
But it can’t hurt.

State record fish tale hard to prove
By Doug Smith
Star Tribune of Minneapolis
RED WING, Minn. — For nearly
seven decades, the huge 5-pound state
record crappie has been a fishing
rarity: A lunker without a tale. Until
now.
Since 1940, Minnesota’s record black
crappie has been listed as the eye-popping 5-pound slab caught in the Vermillion River backwaters near Red Wing
by a guy named Tom Christensen.
That the record has stood for 66 years
is testament to the enormity of the fish.
A 5-pound crappie is almost unimaginable today, when crappies average 6 or
8 inches and a 3-pounder would be a
catch of a lifetime.
Because it’s one of the oldest fish
records in the state, it also is one of the
least scrutinized. Little is known about
it, and less has been written about it.
The Department of Natural
Resources, which keeps the official
records, has almost no information
about Christensen’s mammoth crappie
other than the weight, length (21
inches) and year it was caught.
Other details that would confirm the
catch — including witnesses, faded
newspaper clippings, photographs or a
mount of the actual fish — appear to
have been lost to time. Christensen, a
die-hard angler and cement finisher,
died at age 65 in 1963.
Over the decades, doubt has crept in
as some anglers and even DNR fisheries biologists, wondered whether
Minnesota could ever have produced a
5-pound crappie.
But the record-buster appears to be
no tall fish tale.
Alan Novek has absolutely no doubt
that his grandfather caught the 5-pound
record-setter in the Vermillion’s backwaters near where the river spills into the
Mississippi River just north of Red Wing.
“There’s no question whatsoever; it
was the real deal,” said Novek, 58, who
lives in Frontenac.
The famous catch was well-known in
the family, and Novek has a replica of
the crappie made by a man who got the
measurements from a Cannon Falls
taxidermist who Novek believes once
possessed the actual fish.
Mildred Huddleston, 79, of Red Wing,
is one of Christensen’s daughters. She,
too, has no doubt that her dad caught
the 5-pound crappie.
“I was just 13 when he caught the
fish,” she recalled this week.
“Back then, a fish was a fish. He
knew it was a big one. But Dad never
talked much about it. Back in those
Associated Press
Alan Novek holds a replica mount of the record-breaking black crappie near Red Wing, Minn., at the spot on the Vermillion River near the
Prairie Island casino where his grandfather, Tom Cristenson, caught the
fish in 1940. The 5-pound behemouth is Minnesota’s state record black
crappie. That the record has stood for 66 years is testament to the
enormity of the fish.
days, there were lots of big fish. It was
nothing to catch an 8- or 8.5-pound
walleye. No one thought anything of it.”
And there was little fame or fortune
linked to a record fish, as there is
today.
“He was going to put it in the frying
pan,” Novek said. “People said no, no,
no, you can’t do that.”
The family had no camera and no
freezer, just an ice box, Huddleston
said. They sold bait out of their home
for extra cash.
The story is that Christensen or a
friend gave the giant crappie to a taxidermist to have it mounted, “and he
never got it back,” Novek said.
Efforts to retrieve the fish over the
years failed, the family said.
There is other evidence that supports
the catch: A DNR conservation officer
— Paul Nordeen, now also deceased —
was a friend of Christensen’s and
apparently weighed and measured the
fish.
Also, Jenifer Matthees, who keeps
track of fish records for the DNR, said
she recently received a call from an
old-timer who said he was there fishing
that day in 1940 when Christensen
caught his fish.
“He had a vivid memory of it and
said they were fishing through the ice
when he caught it,” Matthees said.
Novek also possesses a real mounted
crappie that, according to the handwriting on the back of the mount,
weighed 4.5 pounds and also was
caught in those same Vermillion River
backwaters in June 1940, less than six
months before Christensen caught his
5-pounder.
“It used to be a hotbed for crappies,”
Novek said.
Huddleston pulled out a yellowed
newspaper clipping from the March 22,
1970, edition of the weekly Outdoor
News showing a 5-year-old youngster
holding her dad’s 5-pound crappie.
The caption said the fish was 18 3/4
inches long (not 21 inches, as the DNR
records indicate) and had a girth of 19
inches. It said Cannon Falls taxidermist Russ Awsumb “restored” the fish,
which was displayed that year at the
Northwest Sportshow.
Cliff Awsumb, now 41 and living in
Ramsey, was the tyke in the photo. His
grandfather died in 1973. Awsumb still
has the giant crappie hanging on his
wall, but says it’s a replica of the original.
“The way my grandfather made fish
was he took the actual fish and put it in
plaster to make a mold, then he used
fiberglass.”
He doesn’t know if his grandfather
had the original fish, or what happened
to it. But Awsumb, too, has no doubts
that the 5-pound crappie was real.

Prairie chicken
ritual draws crowd
By Dave Kolpack
Associated Press
GLYNDON, Minn. — The
lights of a city 15 miles away
are still glowing on the
horizon when rustling is
heard in the prairie grass.
Soon darkness will give way
to a spectacular show.
It’s the annual mating
ritual of the prairie chickens,
who gather on this man-made
breeding stage east of Fargo,
N.D., every spring. The area
is known as a booming
ground, named for the bassoon-like sounds played by
the male birds.
Brian Winter, who helps
manage the area for a nonprofit conservation group,
marvels at the site while protected by a plywood chicken
blind.
“When I’m sitting here I’m
always struck by the fact we
can see this growing metropolis just 15 miles away,” whispers Winter, referring to the
Fargo and Moorhead, Minn.,
area. “Yet we have these
birds that are protected
because of the habitat.”
Winter, the regional program director for the Nature
Conservancy, is offering a history of the booming grounds
when he is interrupted by a
whoop, then a cackle. The
male birds are warming up.
They’re waiting for enough
light to begin showing off for
the hens.
Some male birds can be
seen popping their heads out
of the grass, even though the
sun has yet to show.
“I’m sure this is where the
saying ’you have to get up
with the chickens’ comes
from,” Winter said, chuckling.
“You can’t even see them and
they’re trying to find a mate.”
It’s a free-for-all when the
sun comes up, with the male
chickens defending their territory. When other males
invade, there’s usually a
chase and occasionally a
fight. When hens saunter by,
the males puff out their
orange pouches, rise on their
toes and strut their stuff.
The male birds also like to
flap their wings and leap off
the ground.
“That’s called a flutter
jump. They’re hoping the
females will see them and go
over there,” Winter said.
“Their whole point right now
is, ‘Hey, look at me, I’m the
coolest guy out here.”’
This particular booming
ground, known as Bluestem
Prairie, covers about 2,900
acres in far western Minnesota. It used to be a gravel
pit, to accommodate construction in the area.
The Nature Conservancy
turned it into a booming
ground in 1990, after clearing
rocks and planting native
prairie grass. The group
either burns or hays the field
every year.
“This is the most active and
dominant booming ground in
the area,” Winter said. “Most
years there are 30 to 50 males
thumping on this spot, so it
can really get booming.”
Although the future of the
prairie chicken was uncertain at one time, the restoration of grasslands has helped
increase the population,
Winter said.
The bird almost was nonexistent in North Dakota 25
years ago, said Jerry
Kobriger, an upland game
management supervisor for
the North Dakota Game and
Fish Department.
“At this point we’re not
doing too bad,” Kobriger
said. “I think a lot of it is
going to depend on what happens with the habitat and
CRP (the federal Conservation Reserve Program).”
In the meantime, Minnesota and North Dakota
have started limited hunting
seasons for prairie chickens.
“There’s a lot of history and
tradition with these birds,”
Kobriger said. “You hear
storaes about trainloads of
birds going back east that
they shot to serve in restaurants.
“Today, there aren’t a lot of
people who recall those
things,” he said.
The average life span of a
prairie chicken is about two
years, Winter said, although
the bird could likely live up
to 10 years in captivity.
“There are a lot of things
out there that want to have
lunch with these guys,”
Winter said.
Other hazards include
snowstorms, power lines and
vehicles.

Nation/World
WASHINGTON — CIA Director Porter Goss resigned
unexpectedly Friday, nudged from the helm of a spy
agency still reeling from intelligence failures before
America’s worst terrorist attack and faulty information
that formed the U.S. rationale for invading Iraq.
The decision was the latest in a series
of moves by President Bush to shake up
his team and reinvigorate his second
term. A successor to Goss could come as
early as Monday, a senior administration
official said.
Among those talked about as possible
candidates were Bush’s homeland security adviser, Frances Fragos Townsend;
David Shedd, chief of staff to National
Intelligence Director John Negroponte,
Goss
and Mary Margaret Graham, Negroponte’s deputy for intelligence collection.
Neither Bush nor Goss offered a reason for his departure.
Making the announcement from the Oval Office, Bush
said Goss’ tenure had been one of transition.
“He has led ably,” Bush said, Goss at his side. “He has
a five-year plan to increase the analysts and operatives.”
The president said Goss’ replacement would continue
his reforms.
When Bush nominated Goss in August 2004, in the
midst of the president’s re-election campaign, he said he
would rely on the advice of the CIA officer-turned-politician on the sensitive issue of intelligence reform.

Baltimore officer faces second rape charge
BALTIMORE — A police officer accused of raping a
woman at a police station has been indicted on a rape
charge involving another woman, the state’s attorney’s
office announced Friday.
Officer Jemini Jones, 28, was charged with seconddegree rape, second-degree sex offense and misconduct
in office. He turned himself in and was ordered held
Friday in lieu of $75,000 bail.
According to prosecutors, Jones executed a search warrant at a woman’s home Oct. 24 and told her that she
would have to engage in sexual activities to avoid arrest.
In the previous case, Jones was indicted Jan. 6 on
charges of having sex with a 22-year-old woman in
exchange for her release from the Southwestern District
precinct house.
He was charged with rape, violation of official duties
and conspiracy to commit rape. Charged with the same
offenses were officers Steven Hatley and Brian Shaffer,
who were accused of doing nothing to stop an attack.

Prosecutors began their case by asking
witnesses to describe the loud, echoing
bang of a gunshot and the collapse of the
sniper’s first victim.
Muhammad, who is acting as his own
lawyer, asked if any of the witnesses saw
the person who fired the shot.
Muhammad is on trial for the six murders that occurred in Montgomery
County, where the shooting spree that
Muhammad killed 10 people and wounded three
began and ended. He has been sentenced
to death for a Virginia killing.
Muhammad maintained his innocence and described
the trial as a fight for survival.
In all, he and Lee Boyd Malvo were linked to 10 sniper
slayings and three woundings in the Washington area in
October 2002. They were also tied to killings in Washington(state, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and earlier
shootings in the Washington, D.C., region.

early, was born much heavier than the average at14
pounds.
Olivia, born on March 22 to Brandy Womack and Zack
Patrick, is finally home after nearly a month spent in a
hospital where doctors monitored her underdeveloped
lungs and heart.
“Her newborn diapers didn’t fit her,” Womack told
KXTV. “We had to take everything back and get it
upgraded.”
Medical staff decided Womack should deliver her
daughter before full term when a sonogram in the seventh month showed she already weighed about 11
pounds, nine ounces. Doctors estimated that if Womack
had carried Olivia for the full nine months, the baby
could have reached about 16 pounds.
The baby was delivered by cesarean section, and doctors who have examined her found no medical conditions
that explained her size.
But now that she’s out, Olivia’s growth spurt seems to
have slowed down. Unlike most newborns, who gain four
to eight ounces a week during their first month, she’s
added only three ounces since birth.
Her parents said that as long as she’s healthy, they’re
happy.
“I hope she stays this size for a while,” Womack said.

Around globe, oil, gas supply at risk
By George Jahn
Associated Press
World’s oil reserves
VIENNA, Austria — Unrest
in Africa. Mideast insurgency
and terrorism. Iran’s nuclear
brinkmanship. Russian pressure politics. South American
resource nationalism.
Piece by piece, the global
energy puzzle reveals a bleak
horizon for a world frantically searching for secure oil
and gas supplies.
Concerns over Iran — the
world’s fourth-largest oil
producer — have been the
prime factor recently in
driving crude prices to record
levels and, combined with
tight global refining capacity,
for pushing U.S. gasoline
pump prices above $3 a
gallon in many places.
More than half the world’s oil
production is centrally controlled
by governments. Some have
unstable regimes or are
threatened by internal rivalries.
Oil reserves /billion barrels
Lengthy struggle
With the U.N. Security
Council deadlocked and
Tehran refusing to cease uranium enrichment, there is no
end in sight to the struggle or
the upward price spiral.
A barrel of crude was
trading around $70 a barrel
Friday. But Iranian officials
this week predicted prices as
high as $120 — a forecast
some experts share.
“I don’t think that’s farfetched, assuming that the
crisis with Iran will escalate,”
said Michael Klare, author of
“Blood and Oil: The Dangers
and Consequences of
America’s Growing Petroleum
Dependency.”
And there is also plenty of
gloom elsewhere on the

Klare says success in

could be key to the survival
of many regimes.
“I do think it could lead to
the fall of governments and
the rise of new governments,”
he says. “It’s already shaking
the foundation of the Bush
administration.”
Concern over energy security appears here to stay.
“While most supply threats

It also does not take into
account corruption and smuggling valued in the billions of
dollars that a recent Iraqi
government report described
as the biggest threat to the
country’s economy.
Political strife in the Niger
Delta has hurt the oil
industry in Nigeria, the
world’s 10th-largest oil
provider, with militant
bombings and kidnappings
slicing 20 percent off average
production of 2.5 million
barrels per day. Ethnic or
political conflicts in Chad
and Sudan, Nigeria’s regional
neighbors, interfere with the
development of promising oil
reserves.
Disheartening?
Worse may lie ahead, as the
world’s hunger for energy
grows, the tussle for oil and
gas intensifies — and the turmoil perpetuates itself.
“Instability is contributing
to higher prices and that
makes the seizure of oil and
gas assets even more attractive,” says Klare.
“We have to brace for more
conflict.”

8 frog species found in Laos
By Michael Casey
Associated Press
BANGKOK, Thailand — You
want to find a new frog
species? Head to the Southeast Asian nation of Laos.
Scientists working with the
New York-based World Conservation Society, or WCS, say
they have discovered eight
new species of frogs in the past
two years. One species features
a male half the size of the
female, another has a row of
spines running down its belly.
The new frogs were
reported earlier this year in
Copeia, the journal of the
American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, and
in other peer-reviewed scientific journals since 2004.
“Nobody has really paid
much attention to Laos in
terms of amphibian and reptile research,” Bryan Stuart,
“Nobody has really paid much attention to
Laos in terms of amphibian and reptile
research.”
The frog
Rana
Compotrix
B was
found in
the jungles
of Laos.
— Bryan Stuart, frog discover
whose team made the discoveries, told the Associated
Press in a phone interview.
“So the amphibian fauna of
Laos is much more poorly
understood compared with
neighboring countries. Almost
every one of my field trips has
yielded species unknown to
science,” he said.
The frogs are the latest new
species to come out of the tiny,
landlocked Asian country.
Many are found in Laotian
forests, largely unexplored by
outsiders because of the
geographic remoteness and
the country’s history of political turmoil.
Last year, scientists reported
discovering a rat-like rodent
known locally as kha-nyou.
The mammal, with the face of
a rat and the body of a skinny
squirrel, previously was
thought to have died out 11
million years ago.
Stuart, who works for
Chicago’s Field Museum and
whose team also found a new
species of salamander in Laos
in 2004, said he is captivated
by the new discoveries. But
he’s also worried since many
of the frogs depend on forests
that are constantly under
threat.

IRAQ
Word Watch
ABOARD ROYAL JORDANIAN
FLIGHT 812 — Nothing in Iraq comes
easily, including the flight to Baghdad,
which ends with a spiraling descent
toward the tarmac to avoid being fired
on.
Those flying in — Indonesians to build
a U.S. Embassy, an American who will
train Iraqi police — take the risks for the
reward: Salaries can run to six figures.
Welcome aboard Royal Jordanian
Flight 812 from Amman, Jordan, to
Baghdad International Airport.
Over the roar of jet engines, the trip
begins with the flight attendant’s calm
yet ominous safety briefing to passengers
seated in the exit rows: “When the captain yells ’Evacuate, evacuate, evacuate!’
break the panel, twist the handle, throw
out the door and jump.”
Most of the roughly 50 passengers
aboard look somber.
Arisman Sihite’s steady, toothy smile
breaks fleetingly before he resumes a
conversation.
“I am not scared,” Sihite, a 46-year-old
Indonesian Christian, tells a fellow passenger who asks if he is afraid of Iraq. “If
we die, then we die. In my home, it is
dangerous to be a Christian. We can die
there just as easily. My thinking only is
for work, not fighting.”
An engineer and father of four, Sihite
is from the island of Sumatra.
Sihite is one of a dozen Indonesians
who answered a newspaper ad for experienced construction workers and are
headed to Baghdad for a year to help
build the new U.S. Embassy.
Like the rest of his party, he has no
visa — a calculated omission, he says,
because his government doesn’t want its
citizens traveling to Iraq since insurgents
kidnapped two Indonesian journalists
last year.
Associated
Press
Similar ads have brought workers to
Iraq from as far off as Fiji and Colombia.
Sihite’s colleague, Kennedy, who like
many in Indonesia uses only one name,
said he has a wife and three young children, but has trouble finding work in
Indonesia because he’s Christian. He
stands to make five times what he would
earn in Indonesia if he could find a job.
For a 48-year-old Iraqi businessman on
the flight, the better life, at least for his
family, is in Jordan.
Samir, who declined to give his full
name citing security concerns, said he sent
his wife and three children out of Iraq to
stay with relatives in Amman.
“I want them with me, but I worry for
them in Baghdad. I’m hopeful that they
will return soon, once things settle down
here. But I have my doubts, like all Iraqis,
that this country will see stability anytime
soon,” he said.
Samir is one of tens of thousands of
Iraqi Shiites who have fled the insurgency for predominantly Shiite areas in
Iraq or, in fewer cases, abroad. Sectarian
and ethnic disputes, high unemployment,
corruption and an economy largely
hanging on U.S.-funded life support — all
these heighten their fear that Iraq, like
RJ Flight 812 during its steep descent
into Baghdad, is nose-diving into civil

war.
Key to securing the country is
rebuilding the army and police, a task
that often falls to contract workers such
as Charlie, a 36-year-old who trains Iraqi
police.
Charlie — who declined to give his full
name citing his contracting firm’s policy
— was returning from Jefferson City, Mo.,
to complete the 12 days remaining in his
contract. Over a cigarette in Amman’s
Queen Alia International Airport before
the flight, he said he first came to Iraq
believing in the Bush administration’s
rationale for the war.
The 90-minute flight gets an hour
longer as bad weather forces planes to
stack up. Flight 812 circles above
Baghdad International Airport. Then suddenly, with no warning from the crew, it
drops into its steep, corkscrewing dive to
dodge rocket propelled grenades or a
lucky strike from an insurgent’s rifle.
The plunge leaves a young Iraqi man
scrambling for the airsickness bag.
Coughing and sputtering, his eyes tear up
and he’s red with embarrassment.
In the customs hall, he recognizes a
fellow passenger and smiles
apologetically.
“It’s never easy returning to Iraq,” he
says.

Dear Editor: One of the biggest news stories recently has
been the immigration debate. In discussions about immigration, the term “melting pot” is often used. What exactly
is a melting pot, and how and when did the United States
come to be called that? — M.C., Fairborn, Ga.
Dear M.C.: “Melting pot” as a literal term means just
what you would expect: a vessel for melting something,
such as metal. It is synonymous with “crucible.”
By extension, “melting pot” is used figuratively to mean
a place where social, cultural, and racial assimilation and
amalgamation take place. It is a term that has often been
applied to big cities that attract immigrants, such as New
York City.
As you point out, “melting pot” is also used to mean
specifically the United States. The term reflects the image
of American society as made up of people of diverse
ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds coming together
to form an integrated whole. This application of “melting
pot” to the United States comes from a 1908 play titled
“The Melting Pot” by English writer Israel Zangwill.
Dear Editor: A recent editorial criticized a politician for a
press conference filled with “tergiversation.” Where did
such an odd word come from, and why is it apparently
uncomplimentary? — F.M., Buffalo, N.Y.
Dear F.M.: “Tergiversation” (which is pronounced “terjiv-er-SAY-shun,” if you’re curious) is a synonym for “evasiveness” or “equivocation” — the slippery refusal to give
a straight answer. So it might not surprise you to know
that, in a sense, the word traces back to an unwillingness
to pick a straight course and stay on it.
The Latin verb “tergiversari” means “to show reluctance,” and it comes from the combination of “tergum,”
meaning “back,” and “versare,” a form of “vertere,”
meaning “to turn.” It’s logical enough, then, that a verb literally meaning “to turn back” came to signify reluctance
in Latin, and that English speakers adopted descendants
of “tergiversari” to refer to situations in which someone is
reluctant to respond directly. “Tergiversari” gave English
the noun “tergiversation” and the verb “tergiversate” (“to
engage in tergiversation”).
“Tergiversation” is the slightly older term, having been
around since at least 1570.
Incidentally, “tergiversation” has also developed a
second sense of “the desertion of a cause, position, party,
or faith,” although that isn’t what was intended here.

COMMENT
Wilf needs to replace
Foley with a true G.M.
Vikings fans, what was your
favorite Fran Foley moment?
The time he directed the
team to the Super Bowl?
How about when he brought
Koren Robinson in straight out
of rehab and turned him into a
Pro Bowl kick returner?
Or what about that time he
directed the Vikings to one of
the greatest drafts they’ve ever
had?
What do you mean, those
things never happened? It says
so right here on his resumé, this
one he submitted to the PostBulletin to be a sports reporter.
Turns out Foley’s looking for
work again. And it says here
that he was a writer at the
Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, as well as at the UnionTribune in San Diego.
After a little research, we’ve
discovered that Foley never
actually worked at the TimesUnion or the Union-Tribune, but
he was quoted in both of those
publications, so that’s close
enough to the truth.
Foley’s probably better off not
working for the Vikings, the way
things have gone for the franchise for, well, 45 years.
And from what we’ve seen of
new owner Zygi Wilf over the
past year, things aren’t going to
get any better until he concerns
himself more with the team and
less with his desire to get a new
stadium.
I’m all for a new stadium, but,
please, Zygi, put a qualified general manager in place now
(former Dolphins GM Rick
Spielman comes to mind immediately) so Vikings fans can
enjoy a decent team when the
new stadium is built.

Associated Press
Twins bench coach Steve Liddle, left, pitching coach Rick Anderson, center, and first base coach
Jerry White are scratching their collective heads wondering what has gone wrong with the team the
first month of the season. Pitching has improve if the Twins are to get back in the race.
Rough, tough start
Twins’ pitchers try
to put troubling first
month in the past
By Dave Campbell
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS
he Minnesota Twins were on
the road last week, and
pitching coach Rick Anderson
wasn’t sleeping well at all.
This was hardly a surprising revelation, since his most accomplished
protégés routinely were getting pummeled like rookies starting their first
spring training. The embarrassment
peaked last weekend
in Detroit, when
Brad Radke, Carlos
Silva and Kyle Lohse
— Nos. 2, 3 and 4 in
the rotation — lost to
the streaking Tigers.
Combined score?
33-1.
“We’re all competitive, man,” Lohse
said this week.
Lohse
“We’re out there
trying to do the best we can every
night. Last year was obviously tough,
not getting to the playoffs, and I think
we came back to this year with that
in mind. Maybe we’re trying to do too
much. It’s been a weird first month of
the season. There’s not much you can
really say about it, other than that it’s
in the past. Start all over.”
The Twins tried to patch a few
holes in their lineup, hoping to generate more punch and give their
weary starters the support they
longed for last season. Johan Santana
could have won his second straight
AL Cy Young Award if the hitters had
scored a few more runs for their ace
— his 16 victories weren’t enough to

Positioning, flexibility are key for full field
Associated Press
There’ll be coverage of
the Minnesota Community
College Conference state
baseball tournament, which
is being held at Mayo Field
and at RCTC.
Anderson insisted his problem
was mostly a matter of not using the
inside part of the plate enough and
keeping his pitches down — simple
stuff that usually hampers young
guys, not 12-year veterans.
Fifth starter Scott Baker was the
best of the bunch last month, and
he’s shown remarkable poise even if
he hasn’t been dominant. So, fixing
Silva and Lohse is at the top of the
Twins’ to-do list.
Silva, who last season compiled a
3.44 ERA and the best walks-pernine-innings ratio in the majors, was
having trouble with his sinker and
his ERA was an unsightly 10.31 in
April.
And Lohse, who has beaten the
team in salary arbitration two
straight times, had an 8.77 ERA
during the first month.
“I think if we keep our head, we
keep working, we pay attention to
detail, we don’t point fingers and we
don’t make excuses ... this organization will find itself out of this thing,”
said general manager Terry Ryan,
who could be forced to trade highsalaried players in coming months if
Minnesota doesn’t climb into contention.
The Twins, who often have succeeded with a limited payroll,
believe they have the ingredients to
compete for the division crown they
won in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The defense, buoyed by new
second baseman Luis Castillo, had
the best fielding percentage in the
majors. And the bullpen, with closer
Joe Nathan and setup man Juan
Rincon, is solid if the starters can
rediscover their form.
HORSE RACING| KENTUCKY DERBY • 5:04 P.M. TODAY • NBC
Brother Derek goes
off as favorite
In Monday’s Sports
win.
One month in, there’s been no sure
sign of offensive improvement. And
the pitching staff has been awful.
Santana, Radke and Silva all
turned in consecutive strong outings
this week to stop — for now — the
slide. But Minnesota’s chance of
returning to the playoffs this year
was severely damaged by that ugly
April, leaving the Twins with the
worst team ERA in the majors as
May began.
A deep division and plenty of legitimate contenders around the league
already make it very difficult to
qualify for the postseason. An 11-17
start, including an 0-9 mark against
AL Central front-runners Chicago,
Detroit and Cleveland, obviously was
not what Minnesota needed.
It hit the well-regarded Anderson
especially hard, given the hours and
hours he’s poured into tinkering with
throwing motions, detecting weak
spots in windups, encouraging his
pitchers to stay positive or reminding
them to mix in a different pitch more
often.
“He’s shaking his
head, because everything seems to go
well when they do
their pen work,”
manager Ron GarAnderson
denhire said. “They
think they get it figured out, and it gets out there and
we give up three, four, five or six
runs, whatever.”
The team isn’t worried about Santana. He’s been tough his last two
starts. The 33-year-old Radke — who
is leaning toward retirement after
the season — posted an 8.89 ERA in
April, raising concerns about his
velocity, which never was a strength
in the first place.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Flexibility is
key in the Kentucky Derby, where 20
horses and riders scramble for position in the early going before the real
racing begins late.
“It’s a very tough race to ride,” said
Alex Solis, who will be aboard 3-1
morning line favorite Brother Derek
today. “Instead of having Plan A, B
and C, you have to have the rest of it
— D, E, F, G.”
Solis should know. He’s trying to
end an 0-for-14 streak in the world’s
most famous race.
Also looking to break through in
his first Derby is Brother Derek’s
trainer Dan Hendricks, who scoots
around in a motorized wheelchair
after being paralyzed from the waist
down in a motocross accident two
years ago.
“He was the main inspiration when
I was going through a tough time,”
Hendricks said. “I thought he was
going to become a good horse.”
He did, winning all three of his
races this year.
Brother Derek’s strongest competition includes Lawyer Ron, winner of
six in a row, unbeaten Barbaro and a
trio of horses trained by Bob Baffert
— Bob and John, Point Determined
and Sinister Minister.

With huge crowds cheering for the player they

to the Tiger Woods Learning Center on Friday to privately remember Earl Woods, the golf star’s father who
died this week after a long battle with prostate cancer.
Earl Woods was best known for the impact he had
on his son, who began hitting balls at age 3 after
watching as his father practice his swing in the family’s
garage. He died Wednesday at his Cypress home. He
was 74.
Mourners arrived at the memorial and reception after
the burial at a cemetery in Cypress. In attendance were
former basketball great Charles Barkley, PGA Tour
commissioner Tim Finchem, Nike chairman Phil Knight,
volleyball player and model Gabrielle Reece and her
husband, pro surfer Laird Hamilton, among others.
Limousines delivered Tiger Woods, his wife, Elin, and
his mother, Kultida.

Cavs eliminate Wizards
WASHINGTON (AP) — LeBron James played 53
minutes. Damon Jones played 14 seconds.
James provided the gamesmanship. Jones provided
the game-winner.
That combination has the Cleveland Cavaliers in the
second round of the playoffs for the first time in 13
years.
James scored 32 points, made two key blocks, survived a nasty collision with Brendan Haywood, and —
perhaps, most importantly — did some talking to
Gilbert Arenas at the free throw line late in overtime.
Arenas missed both attempts, setting up Jones’ 17-foot
baseline jumper with 4.8 seconds remaining in the
Cavaliers’ 114-113 victory over the Washington Wizards
on Friday night.
The Cavaliers won the series 4-2, their first series
win since 1993, when James was 8 years old. They
also won two road games in a playoff series for the first
time in franchise history. They will have little time to celebrate before opening the second round at Detroit on
Sunday.

Hootie steps down at Augusta
ATLANTA (AP) — Billy Payne, who ran the Atlanta
Olympics a decade ago, is replacing Hootie Johnson
as chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, home of
the Masters.
The 75-year-old Johnson had served in the role
since 1998, notably leading the fight against demands
that women be allowed to join the club.
Johnson also ordered two major overhauls of the
course, adding hundreds of yards in length and toughening holes in an effort to keep scores from going too
low in an era of rapidly improving equipment and
longer-hitting players.

PRO FOOTBALL | MINNESOTA VIKINGS
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Their
uniforms may have new stripes,
but make no mistake, these are
the same old Minnesota Vikings.
That much was made clear on
Wednesday, when vice president
of player personnel Fran Foley
was fired, three days after he presumably played a major role in
shaping the Vikings’ future under
new coach Brad Childress.
Foley was one of several
Vikings executives in the team’s
war room last weekend for the
NFL draft. It was he, not Childress, who joined college
scouting director Scott Studwell
in front of the media on Saturday
evening to sum up Day 1 of the
new regime’s first draft.
After emerging from the
bunker where the team executed
its draft-day plan, Foley
remarked to the awaiting media
that at least we had a room with
windows so we could see the sun.
When told that it was raining
all day and there was no sight of
the sun, Foley remarked, “Oh
yeah, well it was pretty sunny in
that draft room.”
Gag.
That was Foley in a nutshell.
He was Mike Tice without the
goofy charm. And that gruff, uh,
“personality,” for lack of a better
term, combined with a resume
that was even less accurate than
the one George O’Leary submitted to Notre Dame a few years
back, spelled a quick demise for
the third leg of the tripod that
was supposed to lead the Vikings
back to prominence.
Now he’s gone, and guess what?
There’s plenty of controversy surrounding it.
Foley’s lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler,
announced plans to sue the
Vikings for breach of contract,
hoping to get the matter before
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue for an arbitration hearing.
Kessler said his client was the
victim of a power struggle, and
the team waited until after the
draft to take advantage of Foley’s
expertise and services, then fired
him.
If you listen to the so-called
draft experts, the Vikings may
have been wise to cut ties with
him much sooner. The team’s
draft, outside of linebacker Chad
Greenway and cornerback Cedric
Griffin, has received grades on
par with the marks I got in calculus.
Vikings owner Zygi Wilf

about the move after a news con-

ference at the Capitol, where he
was pushing his new stadium and
economic development plan.
Citing the pending legal issues,
Vikings vice president of legal
affairs Kevin Warren said the
team could offer little comment
on the move.
Is Wilf going to hire another
personnel director? Move
Studwell into that job? Leave it
open? These are all questions
that Warren said will be
answered at a later date, after the
legal side of the matter has been
resolved.
“We’re not going to make this
into a media circus,” said Warren,
speaking on behalf of the organization and not in a legal capacity.
Isn’t that what always happens
around here?
Nothing ever seems to be easy
at Winter Park. Whether it’s an
anxious owner trying to sell the
team, a running back trying to get
through security at the airport or
some teammates trying to gather
for some fun on the lake, trouble
always seems to find this franchise.
When Wilf first took over the
team from used-car salesman Red
McCombs, he promised to bring
accountability and integrity with
him.
He has been successful in some
areas — steadfastly guiding an
impressive stadium proposal further than McCombs ever dreamed
and instituting a code of conduct
for the team following the Love
Boat scandal.
But it’s clear he still has plenty
of work to do.
Embarrassments have become
the norm in Viking land, not the
exception. And this is just the
latest example of it.
It’s not embarrassing to make a
mistake with a hire. It happens
all the time — in sports and in
the rest of the business world.
What separates those who are
successful from those who are not
is the ability to admit those mistakes and then stand up and
answer the tough questions about
WHY those mistakes were made
and what you’re doing to move
forward.
Here’s hoping that once the
legal proceedings have come to
an end, Wilf does just that. That
would go a long way toward
changing a Vikings’ reputation
that is constantly being battered
by public relations nightmares.
And until that happens, the
only stripes that will be changing
around here are the ones on the
jersey.

Friday night for
their fourth straight
win over the Twins.
Kenny Rogmrs (52) allowed five runs

Team wants on-campus stadium
MINNEAPOLIS — Debate over
a new, on-campus football stadium at the University of Minnesota has been in
the headlines in
recent months. On
Thursday, athletics
officials said they
also want a new
baseball stadium — but it would
be privately funded.
Gophers’ athletics director Joel
Maturi said that after seeing
results of a recent feasibility
study, the athletics department
plans to raise money for a privately funded baseball park.
“Before next fall we’d like to
know where we’re going with
this,” Maturi said.
It’s not clear whether university
officials can raise the estimated
$11 million to $13 million for a
new park, but the study encouraged officials to move forward.
Mike Halloran, associate athletics
director for development, said
the plan includes no state money.
Baseball coach John Anderson
this week agreed to a five-year
contract extension worth a minimum of $120,000 a year.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The awful
truth about the Kentucky Derby,
the only race America cares
about, is that it doesn’t take four
quick legs to earn a place in the
starting gate. The favorite,
Brother Derek, hasn’t lost a race
this year. The second choice,
Barbaro, has never lost. Next in
line is Lawyer Ron, who is undefeated in Arkansas.
But most of the next 17, the
track oddsmaker seems to think,
are flat tires waiting to happen.
His morning line had them going
off at anywhere from 20-1 to 501. He can go higher this year, a
lot higher, but why bruise the
feelings of the owners?
The owners are thrilled to be
here, the jockeys are glad to
have a ride and the horse has
no idea the next two minutes he
runs could make him Mr. Right
for the rest of his life. It’s the
trainers, the zipper-jacket guys,
who have the hardest jobs.
They’d like to win, but what they
really need is for the owner to
come back with the same willing
wallet next year, the same
serious case of Derby Fever.
Steve Asmussen trains five 3year-olds for Mike McCarty and
two of them, Private Vow and
Storm Treasure, are running in
this 132nd Derby. “I planned on
having all five in the race,”
McCarty said. He’s kidding. The
50-1 shots are always kidders.
So let’s try to find one. Let’s
try Steppenwolfer, who ran in
the money in his last three, but
couldn’t get past Lawyer Ron in
any of them. Lawyer Ron is 4-1
in the morning line and Steppenwolfer, who almost caught him
last time, is here at 30-1. That
was the Arkansas Derby, when
Steppenwolfer ran into traffic
making his usual late run.
Last year’s Derby winner, Giacomo, hit the wire at a shocking
50-1, and the last horse he
passed was a 71-1 shot. Giacomo, still racing, hasn’t won
since. But his trainer, John
Shirreffs, is trying again on Saturday with A.P. Warrior, a 12-1
shot. The price seems hardly
worth it.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Greg Biffle is trying to turn
things around. That doesn’t mean he’s going to push
any harder to get better results.
Biffle, second to champion Tony Stewart in last year’s
Chase for the championship, posted a lap at 127.395
mph Friday, winning the pole for the Crown Royal 400
at Richmond International Raceway and giving his
team a needed boost.
Biffle’s fast lap came with just four of 47 drivers still
waiting to make their run at the top spot around the
0.75-mile oval, and it knocked Roush Racing teammate
Mark Martin to the outside of the front row. Martin’s lap
came at 127.029 mph.
Behind the Roush Fords in the front row, Casey
Mears will start third in his Dodge, Brian Vickers fourth
in a Chevrolet and points leader Jimmie Johnson fifth
in a Chevy.
• Points leader Kevin Harvick passed Paul Menard
with 48 laps to go and held off a late challenge from
teammate Jeff Burton to win the rain-delayed Circuit
City 250 at Richmond International Raceway.

CHICAGO — Before the
layup drill, before tipoff, before
the Miami Heat disposed of the
pesky Chicago Bulls, Miami
Heat players gathered for that
hippin’ hoppin’ huddle they do
just before they go on the floor.
They stood there, practically
the entire team, looking around,
waiting for several pregnant
moments as curious folks in the
bowels of United Center walked
past and gawked.
Then Shaquille O’Neal
showed up.
And suddenly that silent
huddle lit like a sparkler, glowing
bright with energy and loud in
chant. Which is how the Heat
handled this playoff series
against the Bulls and will — for
better or worse — handle every
series of this postseason.
When Shaq shows, the Heat
simply become superior to
everyone else, and yes, that
includes those well-rested Pistons that dispatched Milwaukee
with ease.
When O’Neal turns in a night
like this, all else becomes a footnote.
O’Neal turns in repeated
sequels to this blockbuster night
and it won’t matter that the Nets
could give the Heat trouble on
the perimeter any more than it
mattered the Bulls could give the
Heat trouble on the perimeter.
All those concerns about
these playoffs exposing the flaws
of Miami’s offseason acquisitions? They are whispers if the
O’Neal we see in the days
ahead is like the O’Neal we saw
during this 113-96 victory.
Heat coach Pat Riley admits a
cloud has hovered over his team
in recent weeks.
That cloud starts to clear
when O’Neal shines.

Lourdes starts fast, wins easily
The Rochester Lourdes
baseball team scored two
runs in each of the first two
innings and cruised to a 12-4
Hiawatha Valley League win
over Byron at Hudson Field
on Friday.
Byron responded with a
run in the third, but
Lourdes put up seven in the
bottom of the fourth to put
the game away.
Jake Duda improved to 5-0
on the mound for the
Eagles. He pitched four
innings, allowing five hits
and a run to help Lourdes
rebound from a loss to
Winona Cotter on Thursday.
Lourdes was error-free on
defense against Byron, and
the Eagles turned three
double plays.
“We might have learned
the importance of defense
from watching Cotter double
us up three times on
Thursday,” Lourdes coach
Doug Hudson said.
Rob Poterucha and Mac
Miller had two hits each for
the Eagles (8-3 HVL, 9-3
overall).
Byron collected 13 hits,
including three from Matt
Sauer.
Lourdes plays today in

Crossword
By Kevin McDonough
United Features Syndicate
Frank Whaley made quite an impression in the 1994 comedy “Swimming with
Sharks.” He was the beleaguered assistant
driven to madness by an arrogant Hollywood producer, played to perfection by
Kevin Spacey. Whaley has found steady
work since, appearing on several episodes
of “NCIS" and on “The Dead Zone."
Tonight he stars in the cable drama
“Where There’s a Will” (8 p.m., Saturday,
Hallmark). Unfortunately, he has the notso-credible role of a
failed con artist named
Richie, who discovers
that he has a long-lost
grandmother, Clyde
(Marion Ross), in the tiny
town of Harmony, Texas.
This discovery is fortunate for both. Richie
needs to flee an insistent
loan shark from Los
“Where There’s

failing health, needs

“Will” introduces
some quirky characters, including Keith
Carradine (“Deadwood”) as the avuncular sheriff who goes
out of his way to
remind strangers, consisting mostly of
Richie and his nefarious associates, that
the folks in Harmony
frown upon drivers
who use their car
horns to communicate.
-- Speaking of blasts
from the past, Bill Mumy (“Lost in Space”)
appears in the 2006 thriller “A.I. Assault”
(8 p.m., Saturday, Sci Fi). Joe Lando stars
in this high-concept hokum about a team
of Navy SEALS assigned to contain a unit
of military-trained robots that appear to
have gone off the deep end.
-- Did you ever wonder why they use the
word “bug” to describe wiretaps and
other means of surveillance? After
watching the “Nature” (7 p.m., Sunday,
PBS, check local listings) presentation
“Crime Scene Creatures," you won't have
any more questions. Insects, it seems,
make wonderful snitches. But so do most
critters, from one-celled organisms to the
most voracious forest voles.
“Creatures" sets up a faux detective
story, “starring” an evil scientist who disposes of two dead bodies. Don't worry,
both are laboratory pigs, dispatched, we
are informed, as “humanely" as possible.
One is placed in the woods, and the other
is tossed in a roiling river.
The documentary follows both bodies as
they decompose and form a veritable cafeteria for various organisms. Scientists can
determine the time and nature of the
victim’s murder from the kind of bugs,
maggots or animals that are feasting on it
at any given time. The underwater pig
cadaver also attracts the
attention of parasites that
can point to the time and
nature of its demise. Talk
about squealing!
This pig detective tale
is larded with colorful
anecdotes about real
crimes solved by natural
means. A man from

The fetching Jordan (Jill Hennessey)
finds herself in a bit of a jam when she
awakens from the post-rehearsal dinner
bash for Lilly’s (Kathryn Hahn) wedding.
And this is much worse than a hangover.
Jordan finds the bloody body of her
former beau (Chris Mesure) next to her in
bed, and finds her own hand on the pistol
that killed him. She and her team have
exactly 42 minutes to find an alibi, or we
will all have to spend the summer wondering what happens next. One mystery
has been solved however. NBC has picked
up “Crossing Jordan” for yet another
season.
Contract Bridge
Horoscopes by Holiday Mathis
Sunday
TOMORROW’S BIRTHDAY
(May 7). You create your own
brand of stardom this year.
Financial aspects are hot now,
and in the next three weeks:
Make the investment you’ve contemplated for years. Romantic
hopefuls line up in June. Your
confident, take-care-of-business
attitude attracts new and lucrative
career prospects in July. Leo and
Pisces people are dedicated to
your needs.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Selfless acts are most charitable and, therefore, most lucky,
in the karmic sense, when they
are anonymous. If that is not
possible, an attitude of humility is
a close second.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You identify with the material world -- luxuriate in your sensuality. Physical things, even if
you own them, are not who you
are. Spending time with
someone who has nothing will
remifd you of your pure, spiritual
essence.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
In an effort to embrace your
inner glamour (or the more masculine “suave”), you toss out
things like sensible shoes, logical
plans and shrewd financial decisions.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Competition is good for
you now. Take the bumpers
down from the bowling lane.
Stick to the original rules of
Scrabble. Beware of people who
want to lower the bar, making it
OK for everyone to be somewhat
inept.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Someone who has been
granted your forgiveness on several previous occasions may
cross your threshold of patience
today. If you can remain calm,
you just may be promoted to
sainthood.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You can’t help but pick your
favorites now -- you know what
you like. However, try not to
show your bias. Events will play
out the same, except no one’s
feelings get hurt.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Teamwork wins, but it’s not
that easy now. To your eye,
people around you have a
roundabout way of accomplishing things. Squelch the urge
to be a control freak. Bossiness
will only sully your considerable
charm.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You’re in a power position, though you may not realize
it. Cash or other incentives are
dangled before you as rewards
for doing the one thing you really
don’t want to do. Be true to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Every person on
the earth at some time or
another has feelings of physical
or mental inadequacy. You’re
actually feeling superhero-ish
now, but you can help an underconfident friend because you’ve
been there.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Exploring your own
talent will lead you down a happy
path, but recognizing the talent in
others will catapult you into a
heavenly mood. If you can do
both, you have a wonderful day.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re in the right place.
So, when events are not clicking
along with the usual ease, it’s not
a sign to bail. It’s just an invitation to work on your social skills.
People helping people is the
theme.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re just plain lucky
today. New sources of revenue
become available as soon as
you start to seriously look. You’ll
also receive a mysterious and
delightful invitation.
Monday
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 8).
What you’ll love most about this
year is its unpredictability. Surprises sweep you into a state of
thrill every seven weeks or so!
Take a financial leap of faith this
month and double your money.
June is for reconnecting with
past ties. There’s big love to be
mined in the relationship this
time around. Sagittarius and Leo
people are everything on your
wish list.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Work is never perfect. Just
go in with your facts straight and
your ego in check. You might find
out the opposition is more correct than you are. You can still
win by making a quick adjustment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Sure, you’re feeling a bit
sensitive, but at least you know
how to play it low-key. Better yet,
raise the key so you can “sing” in
a higher range. Others are
dancing to your music.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
It’s one thing to know your
purpose in life, but it’s a hundred
times more powerful to put it into
words on the page. The stars
align to help make specific
choices. A document outlining
your chief priorities can change
your life.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’re ambitious and
driven to win. In your mind, many
elements must come together to
make this day a success. In
reality, your own self-assured
style is the biggest factor determining the outcome of this day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If
you can master a little thing,
you can master a big thing. So,
when work comes to a standstill
or a relationship hits the rocks,
the best thing to do may be to
leave the situation for a moment
while you make the perfect sandwich.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Take it slow and easy so
you can get it right the first time.
A single-minded focus gives you
a competitive edge. Uplifting,
cheerful support comes from a
Gemini or a Libra.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your planets highlight the
complexities of your personality.
You’re tough, gutsy and strict one
minute and carefree, giggling
and absurd the next. Potential
loves/clients/friends are riveted
when you keep them guessing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). In the past, you’ve
been dragged through situations
that taught you to fend for yourself. Now that you know how to
do this, it’s challenging to depend
on others, but the magic happens when you trust.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Some people see
things as they are, but you’re
busy dreaming things that never
were but possibly (or more likely,
impossibly) could be. Keep that
imagination fueled -- it’s your primary asset now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The stars
encourage you to do a freestyle
dance. Make it up as you go. As
the Natasha Bedingfield pop
song goes, “Today is where your
book begins, the rest is still
unwritten.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). It’s not true what they
say about throwing out the first
pancake of the batch. Sometimes,
this is the pancake that miraculously turns out to look like Albert
Einstein. Today, your first attempts
have a remarkable quality.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Wisdom comes from
strange sources and not in the
most pleasant packaging, either.
Nevertheless, if someone criticizes you, accept what is accurate, and change what you can.
Then, blow off the rest as “their
problem.”

One way to brighten up a dark home is to catch

• Boost confidence with irises: The
color indigo stimulates the brain’s
pineal gland, which is the regulator
of sleep patterns. Indigo also helps
to free the mind of worries, fears
and inhibitions.
• Get a good night’s sleep with delphinium: Blue triggers the production of melatonin, a brain chemical
that helps with relaxation and sleep.
Blue also stimulates the thyroid
gland to release thyroxin, a hormone
that regulates metabolic rate.
• Prevent allergies with orange
daisies: Orange strengthens the
immune system and the lungs, which
can ward off spring allergies.
Orange also has a strong beneficial
effect on the digestive system and
can stimulate the sexual organs.
• Relieve stress with lilacs: Violet
has a cooling effect, alleviating “hot”
conditions like heat rash and sunburn, and suppressing hunger and
balancing metabolism. It also stimulates the pituitary gland, the part of
the brain that releases tensionfighting beta-endorphins.
Safe at home
Bathrooms can be dangerous places. But there are
things you can do to make washing and bathing
safer. Slip-resistant strips on bathtubs and shower
floors, for instance, can prevent nasty slips and falls.
Hardware centers carry a wide variety of peel-andstick strips for traction. For best results, the tub or
shower floor should be scrubbed and thoroughly
dried, then wiped with rubbing alcohol to remove
any soap film or remaining residue. Carefully arrange
and apply the strips where you are most likely to
stand or step when getting in or out of the tub or
shower stall. If you still feel a bit uneasy, consider
adding grab bars for extra support when getting in
and out.

A house’s outward appearance can be a large part
of its appeal, a glimpse into its individual personality.
Architect Jeremiah Eck refers to it as the house’s
“face,” and he explores that aspect in his new book,
“The Face of Home: A New Way to Look at the Outside of Your House.”
Eck encourages readers to forget about the labels
we commonly use to describe homes — “Colonial,”
“Cape,” “Victorian” and the like — and instead focus
on a house’s combination of physical characteristics
and the emotions those features elicit. The best
homes, he believes, work well with their sites, have
visually pleasing proportions and features and give a
sense of what’s inside.
Eck then examines 22 homes in a variety of styles
from across the country to help readers understand
why their “faces” are so pleasing. The book is published by the Taunton Press and sells for $40 in hardcover.

Light the way
A little lighting in the right place goes a long way
in making life easier for you and safer for your
family. AmerTac, which specializes in household
lighting, offers these helpful items:
• The rechargeable Three-Way Power Failure Lite
gives you a guide light, flashlight and power failure
light at your fingertips. Plug it into any outlet and it’s
ready when the power fails; it illuminates your way
and can then be unplugged and converted to a
hand-held flashlight.
• The Auto-Off Light Control puts an end to yelling
at the kids — or your spouse — to turn off the lights.
It screws into existing fixtures and automatically turns
off after 15 minutes.
• The battery-operated Closet Light hangs on the
clothing rod and illuminates with the pull of the
string, helping you find matching socks and getting
dressed without waking your sleeping spouse.
• The programmable Outdoor/Indoor Light Control
automatically turns driveway and entrance lights on
at dusk and off as programmed — all with the touch
of a finger, so there you avoid smashing skateboards
and bikes in the driveway.
• The Tin Star Nite Lite lights your way with style.
The attractive punched-tin design allows just the right
amount of light through while casting a star-shaped
silhouette on the wall.
All of these products are available at Home Depot
and Lowe’s stores. For more about the company, visit

Rules for planting
Q:
1. Install new plants at the
same depth they were in the
nursery.
2. Don’t use entirely different soil mix around the
root ball than is present at
the site. Rather, mix some
peat or compost with the
soil you remove from the
hole (maybe 1/3 compost, 2/3
soil) and use this mixture
around the root ball.
3. Dig the hole only as
deep as the root ball. Digging deeper requires the
soil mix to be added prior to
planting. This loose mix
often settles, resulting in
your plant settling to a
depth greater than in the
nursery.
4. After planting, water
the soil thoroughly, especially water long enough so
air bubbles no longer rise
from the site. Thereafter,
water as needed. If the
weather has been dry, check
the soil to a 1-2 inch depth.
If it is dry, give the plant a
thorough watering, but if
adequate moisture is
present, watering is not only
unnecessary, but likely will
be detrimental.
5. Apply a good fertilizer
over the surface of the soil.
Your favorite garden center
can recommend a good one.
Follow the directions on the
package or bag.
6. A good mulch can be
applied to conserve moisture and keep competitive
weeds to a minimum.
Shredded bark, cypress
mulch and cedar mulch all
work well.

Bamboo is a simple motif
that symbolizes nature and
serenity. I think it’s the perfect choice for your lakeside
bathroom, and you can apply
the stalks to as much or as
little of the wall as you deem
appropriate. Use a pencil or
chalk and a ruler to mark off
the direction and length of
the stalks. Mask off the design
with low-tack painter’s tape.
Cut and stick down slightly
irregular pieces of tape to
demarcate the nodes that run
around the bamboo horizontally at regular intervals. Mix
equal parts bamboo-colored
paint and glazing liquid.
Apply the colored glaze with
a stencil brush, dragging
through the glaze to create
the lines found in bamboo.
Remove the tape and wipe
away any paint leaks immediately. Cut one or two stencils
in the shape of bamboo
leaves and add them to the
stalks.

Dear Betty Ann: Venetian
plaster is the perfect solution
for your decorating dilemma.
Begin by patching any holes
and cracks, but don’t worry
about achieving a perfectly
flat finish. Venetian plaster is
a fine plaster product that
has marble dust in it so that
it can be burnished to a high
sheen. It can also be tinted at
the paint store. Apply the
plaster to your walls in a thin
coat, let dry and apply a
second coat. You can alternate with layers or patches of
colored plaster to achieve a
fresco effect. This age-old
technique will allow you to
hide or enhance the bumps
and irregularities, and give
the illusion of walls weathered by time. Your freshly
plastered walls will look
stunning, and they will also
feel silky smooth — an important feature for a bathroom.

Dear Greg: Make the transition from one color to the
next a feature by painting in
one or two vertical stripes as
you turn the corner. Use lowtack painter’s tape to mask off
the stripes and measure off
different widths, a thin and a
thick stripe. You can graduate
the colors in the stripes if you
are moving from a light to a
dark shade, or alternate the
two room colors if they are
both light.

The Portuguese Nobel
Prize laureate has again
produced a singular work of
dark humor and near
absurdity, one that raises
disturbing questions about
the nature of democracy
and the relationship
between the government
and the governed.
Taking place four years
after the events described
in his novel “Blindness,”
Saramago’s “Seeing” opens
on a rainy election day in
the unnamed capital of an
unnamed country.
The voting turns out badly
for the incumbent party.
Although it wins the elections, more than 70 percent
of the ballots cast are blank.
After a second round of
elections produces more
than 80 percent blanks, the
government declares a state
of emergency.
Having lost its political
legitimacy but without
having been elected out of
office, the government must
decide how to deal with this
paradoxical situation.
It is soon deemed that the
“blankers,” as those who
submitted blank ballots are
called, make up an underground subversive group,
and the government begins
to take drastic measures to
suppress what it sees as an
antidemocratic conspiracy.
However, the voices of
this “subversive” element
are never heard, only supposed.
The novel is written from
the perspective of the government ministers, who are
hard-pressed to find signs of
revolution to squelch or

traitors to arrest.
Unable to uncover any
signs of conspiracy, the government abandons the capital, seals it off, and leaves
its inhabitants to their own
devices.
Rather than succumb to
mass hysteria, the city
remains calm and composed; there are no signs of
turmoil or insurrection.
“That’s exactly what worries me,” a police inspector
remarks, “a city like this,
with no one in charge, with
no government, no security,
no police, and no one seems
to care, there’s something
very mysterious going on
here.”
With each day, the government’s political situation
grows more acute, and its
response to the besieged
population in the city grows
more extreme.
What follows is chilling
because of its plausibility —
Saramago depicts a government that has been totally
disconnected from its constituents and will stop at
nothing to “reinstate”
democracy from above.
“Rights are not abstractions,” remarks a member of
the government, “people
either deserve rights, or
they don’t, and these people
certainly don’t.”
There are no easy lessons
to be drawn from this book,
It stands more as an invitation to reflect and to be fundamentally disconcerted.
Parallels to present democracies are easy to draw, yet
conclusions are slippery
and difficult to come by.
“Seeing” should be read,
and we should be afraid of
what we see.

COALITION BACKS
AMENDMENT
WASHINGTON — A broad
coalition of religious leaders is
appealing for an amendment
to the U.S. Constitution
defining marriage nationwide
as “the exclusive union of one
man and one woman.”
The 50 founders of the Religious Coalition for Marriage
on Monday urged citizen
action to support an amendment that is scheduled for a
June vote in the U.S. Senate.
They said this is the only way
to protect marriage from those
who would “circumvent the
legislative process and force a
redefinition” upon the whole
of society.
The groups represented
were already on the record as
opposing same-sex marriage
but had not shown a united
political front on the issue.
Endorsers included seven
Roman Catholic cardinals; top
officials from the Lutheran
Church—Missouri Synod,
National Association of Evangelicals, Southern Baptist Convention and Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations; the two major Eastern
Orthodox hierarchs; one of the
Mormon Church’s 12 apostles;
prominent black and Hispanic
Protestants and evangelical
personalities like Charles
Colson, James Dobson, D.
James Kennedy and Rick
Warren.
The “mainline” Protestant
supporters represented evangelical caucuses, not denominational leadership. Muslims
and liberal Jews were notably
missing. The coalition said “the
world’s great monotheistic religious traditions” and “impeccable social science research”
agree that when marriage is
“radically redefined” or is “no
longer the boundary of sexual
activity,” the result is damage
to individuals, family life and
social justice.
ACTIVISTS’ GOAL:
PULL KIDS
FROM SCHOOLS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Southern Baptist Convention
activists are again asking the
denomination to urge
removing children from public
schools, two years after a similar bid failed.
A proposal urging Baptists
to develop an “exit strategy”
from public schools is co-sponsored by Texas lawyer Bruce
Shortt and Roger Moran, a
Missouri businessman serving
on the convention’s executive
committee. They plan to
submit their resolution to the
Baptists’ annual meeting in
June.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION | JUNE
Billy Graham statue to be unveiled
By Rose French
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — At
age 87, the Rev. Billy Graham
speaks softly and no longer
strides to the pulpit.
But to many American
Christians, he’s still a largerthan-life figure, and that will
be reflected in a bronze
statue to be unveiled by the
Southern Baptist Convention
at its meeting later this
spring. Created by a pastor
and sculptor in Wyoming, the
figure of Graham will stand
with a Bible in one hand and
arms outstretched before a
giant cross.
The statue will be presented in June at the
Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in
Greensboro, N.C. — Graham’s
home state — and then
moved to Nashville for permanent installation later this
year.
Terredl O’Brien, the
sculptor and a Baptist pastor
in Pavillion, Wyo., said his
research for the artwork
turned up a number of portraits and busts of Graham,
but nothing like his statue.
O’Brien, 58, wanted to recognize Graham’s evangelism
all over the world — he has
preached to more than 210
million people — so the artist
created the outstretched gesture, which he calls an invitation for people to accept
Christ.
“I have to try to tell a story
and pay tribute as well,”
An ordained Southern Baptist minister, Graham has
been in poor health for several years with a variety of
ailments; he held his last
revival meeting in New York
City last year, though he
spoke to victims of Hurricane
Katrina victims in New
Orleans last month.
O’Brien said he was
approached in 2004 to create
the piece by Southern Baptist
Convention President Bobby
Welch, who had seen some of
the artist’s work.
A professional sculptor for
24 years, O’Brien has done
work for Cabela’s, a hunting
and fishing outfitter, as well
as universities, hospitals and
cemeteries.
O’Brien first created a
plastic foam form of the
figure and then applied clay
to model and finish it. He has
sent a mold of the statue to a
foundry in Lubbock, Texas,
which is in the process of
casting it in bronze and
assembling it.

ters.
The ongoing furor about
Christianity’s role in American politics is provoked
especially by the conjunction of difficult moral
issues with rising conservative activism and closely
fought elections.
In the recent flood of
books about this, several
warrant special attention:
• “American Theocracy”
(Viking) by Kevin Phillips.
This one-time Republican
analyst attacks America’s
oil dependence and
indebtedness but especially decries religious
conservatives’ alliance
with the Republican Party.
• “Our Endangered
Values” (Simon &
Schuster) by Jimmy Carter.
The former Democratic
president shares many partisan themes with Phillips
in a superficial attack on
“fundamentalism” in politics and within his own
Southern Baptist Convention.
• “American Gospel”
(Random House) by Jon
Meacham. This Newsweek
magazine editor’s discursive historical essay says
that in a democracy, it’s
inevitable that religious
groups will address public
issues.
• “Washington’s God”
(Basic Books) by Michael
and Jana Novak. The
authors examine the faith
of the first president and
religious precedents he
set.
• “A Godly Hero: The
Life of William Jennings
Bryan” (Knopf) by Michael
Kazin. This is the best of
the lot. A Georgetown University expert on the Populist era provides an
engaging portrait of a
three-time (1896, 1900, 1908)
candidate for president.
Bryan’s movement fused
Bible-based moralism with
the Democratic Party. That
history demolishes
Phillips’ claim that with
Bush-era Republicans, “for
the first time, the United
States has a political party
that represents — some say
over-represents — truebelieving frequent churchgoers.”
Phillips did find some
actual theocrats, known as
“reconstructionists.” But
despite his insinuations,
they have negligible
impact on America’s
church or state.
He loathes conservatives
who address gay marriage,
school prayer, sex education, “intelligent design” or
the war on terror. But he
never explains why they
are un-American theocrats
but not religious and secular types who preach the
opposite values.
Carter has the same sort
of problem. He thinks
“separation of church and
state” forbids corporate
church activism, limiting
agitation to individuals. Is
it illegitimate for churches
to lobby about black and
immigrant rights, federal
spending for the poor, environmental protection or
other liberal causes? If not,
Carter never explains the
difference.
Kazin, a self-described
“secular liberal,” calls
Bryan “a great Christian
liberal.” Today’s Democrats and liberals, Kazin
observes, suppose they can
safely “ignore moral issues
grounded in religious conviction,” yet “most Americans don’t share their mistrust of public piety.”
The case of Bryan is a
reminder that their forebears embraced religious
activism, and a warning to
conservatives and Republicans that some crusades
will be seen as mistakes in
the long term.
Today, Bryan is remembered mostly for one mistake: opposing the teaching
of evolution at the 1925
Scopes Trial.

Bloat in dogs a serious condition
By Dr. Marty Becker
Post-Bulletin photo
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus, or GDV,
often referred to as bloat, is a serious
danger and is of the number two cause
of death (after cancer) for several large
and giant breed dogs with deep chests
like the Akita, bloodhound, collie, Great
Dane, Irish Setter, Irish Wolfhound,
Newfoundland, rottweiler, Saint
Bernard, standard poodle and
Weimaraner. All deep chested breeds,
either purebred or mixed breed, are
also at higher risk.
Bloat occurs when the stomach fills
with food, water and/or air. This results
in an increased pressure that blows the
stomach up like a balloon and eventually causes it to rotate or twist into an
abnormal position.
Like twisting the neck of a balloon to
tie it off, the turgid stomach has the
ends crimped, which in turns shuts off
gastric input (can’t eat or drink) and
output (can’t get rid of stomach contents). The blood supply is also compromised causing a serious cascade of
events that causes about a quarter of
bloat patients to die.
“Symptoms of bloat include acute
abdominal pain, difficulty breathing,
and retching with no vomit produced.
As the stomach swells, the dog finds it
harder to breath and the retching action
increases the trapped air, causing more
swelling,” says Dr. Will Novak, a veterinarian “The condition, if untreated,
leads to shock and the patient will collapse.”
Canine bloat is an emergency condition: if you don’t release the pressure on
the stomach and blood vessels, it
becomes rapidly fatal.
Larry Glickman, a professor of epidemiology at Purdue University School
of Veterinary Medicine and director of
clinical research at Data Savant did a
study on canine bloat in which he followed nearly 2,000 dogs for up to five
years to help identify risk factors. In
addition to certain breeds being at
greater risk of bloat, Glickman found
out:
• Age — older dogs are at a much
higher risk with the risk going up 20
percent each year after the age of 5 in
large breed dogs and 20 percent each
year after the age of three in giant
breed dogs
• Sex — the risk of bloat is slightly
higher in males
• Weight — lean dogs were more at
risk than overweight dogs
• Speed eaters — faster eaters are at
higher risk for developing bloat likely
due to increased swallowing of air
• Height of bowl — elevated food
bowls increase risk when this practice
was previously thought “preventive”
• Frequency of feeding — dogs fed
one large meal per day were at higher
risk with the theory being the stomach
was weighed down and stretched

TASTE OF
WISCONSIN

ention Wisconsin gastronomy and
two things come to mind: beer
and cheese.
So, when vacationing in Wisconsin, two things should come
to mind, right? Yep, beer and
cheese.
Luckily, the Wisconsin
Department of Tourism has
anticipated your interest and
has published lists of cheese factories and breweries in the state
that offer tours. The best part is that
the tours sometimes include samples of the
product.
At City Brewery in La Crosse, for instance, visitors have the opportunity to sample six different
beers. “We have a sample tray and give them a
three-ounce glass, and they can try six variations,” said Julie Barney, hospitality services
coordinator. If a visitor already knows their
favorite, they can request it in a 12-oz. cup.
Tours at City Brewery start with a 14-minute
video that explains the brewing process. That’s
followed by a 30- to 45-minute walking tour of the
brewery itself. The group then returns to the hos-
pitality center for the samples. “I’d say allow
yourself about an hour and a half for a good
tour,” Barney said.
The walking portion of the tour is not unduly
strenuous, Barney said. “But we’ve
had some people who just want to
watch the video and do the
tasting,” she said.
City Brewery, founded in 1858, is
one of the most historic breweries
in Wisconsin, which is saying
something in the state that for 150
years was the center of American
brewing.
What is now City Brewery was
incorporated as the G. Heileman
Brewing Co. in 1890, and has
weathered prohibition and corporate ownership changes to still
operate in its original location.
“In 2004 we had 6,000 visitors and in 2005 we
had almost 7,000 visitors, so it’s growing,” Barney
said of tours of the brewery. However, reservations are needed only for groups of 10 or more.

they’d planned to let 3,000 people

prices, so they organized this promotion with the ethanol backers, as a
way to also promote an industry in

By Tom Weber
weber@postbulletin.com
ilwaukee is an easy-on-thegas-tank, five-hour drive
from southeastern Minnesota, but it could just as well be
in Europe.
That’s because few American
cities have so assiduously and
successfully retained the flavors,
customs and celebrations of the
immigrant groups that settled
there.
Several cities are associated
with a particular ethnic group:
Minneapolis and its Scandinavians, Boston and its Irish, New
York and its Jews. But Milwaukee
has made ethnicity an artform —
and, in typical Milwaukee fashion,
a reason for a party. Or, rather,
several parties; the city hosts
ethnic-themed festivals
throughout the summer.
Milwaukee has always been
known as a Germanic city. But the
city’s other major ethnic groups,
particularly Poles, Italians and
Irish, have long been allowed to
retain and celebrate their own
customs. As a result, ethnic culture flourishes in Milwaukee.
There are dozens of church,
neighborhood and community festivals in Milwaukee during the
warm-weather months. Many of
these events have an ethnic
theme. But for the major festivals,
head to Henry Maier Festival
Park on the shores of Lake
Michigan. Here, starting in June
and running through September,
are held the festivals that made
Milwaukee famous. Combine any
of these festivals with several
days to explore other attractions
in the Milwaukee area and you’ll
get a good sample of one of
America’s true melting-pot communities.

Little Rock
arts scene
picks up as
market grows
By Tom Parsons
Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Central Arkansas is
developing a healthy arts scene, aided by an
increasing number of galleries, the conversion
of an old school building into artists’ studios,
and an influx of visitors and new residents
who are interested in art collecting.
There once was a time when art patrons
generally sought only the prints of nationally
and internationally known artists. But with
fine art by lesser known artists now on display
all over Little Rock, from galleries to restaurants, demand is up for Arkansas works and
for pieces by outsiders who choose to show
their pieces here.
“There are people in this state hungry for
more arts and culture, and we owe it to them
and to the wealth of talent we represent to
keep moving forward, pushing the envelope,
and pushing Arkansas artists out there on the
national stage,” said Debra Wood, a North
Little Rock native who owns the River Market
ArtSpace gallery on Clinton Avenue.
When diners at dozens of restaurants in central Arkansas sit down to enjoy a meal, they
can look around them to enjoy another sensual experience as well — original art on the
walls.
Tourists strolling the River Market area,
perhaps on their way to the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum or taking a break
from a convention, can visit galleries along
Clinton Avenue or nearby in the city’s downtown. The city’s funky Hillcrest and upscale
Heights neighborhoods feature more galleries
and restaurants with art-adorned walls.
Helen Scott, whose family operates the
Cantrell Gallery on the edge of the Heights,
says things have changed for the better since
she and her husband first opened a gallery
called Art Fair downtown in 1970. In those
days, she and other gallery owners agree,
patrons mostly sought prints of noted artists.
Now, buyers can select from a broad selection of original works.
“A large majority of people who want to
have (their work displayed) in ArtSpace are
not from Arkansas,” Wood said. “They are
artists around the country who have heard
about the gallery and want to have their work
here. I think that says a lot about how far
Little Rock has grown, that artists in states
like New York would want to have their work
here in Arkansas.”
Demand seems to be increasing as the city
grows. Bill Clinton’s presidential library —
itself featuring works in a second-floor gallery
— opened 1 1/2 years ago and has brought in
thousands of tourists. Art buyers can also be
found among those who come here to visit,
attend or work at local colleges and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, a
major medical-research center.
Apartments and studios for artists were created in a building that once housed the
Kramer School, and the Quapaw Quarter
United Methodist Church also rents studio
space, noted Erin Branham, education curator

A growing number of Little Rock galleries, such as the River Market ArtSpace
gallery, offer original works by Arkansas artists.
at the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock.
Branham said an annual event at the arts
center — the Museum School Show and Sale
— “went from fairly busy to insane” just in the
past few years.
Suzanne Boscarolo, a Swiss emigre who
opened the Ciao Baci wine bar and restaurant
in 2001 in the Hillcrest neighborhood, says she
has displayed original art on the walls from
the very start. “I’m not dealing in art,” she
said. “I get no commission; they get everything.”
She just likes the idea of helping the artists
and exposing her customers to art they might
not have encountered. “People come in here
and see a new artist they like,” Boscarolo
said. “For Valentine’s Day, a guy purchased a
painting that (his girlfriend) fell in love with a
few months earlier.”
Garbo Hearne, whose Hearne Fine Art
gallery in the River Market area features
works by black artists, said she and her husband were dismayed in the late 1980s when
they couldn’t find works by black artists for
their own home.
“There was nothing in Little Rock that fit
our needs,” she recalled. It also meant that
black artists had few ways to reach people
who might want to see their works.
“African-American artists are so far behind
in being recognized that ... I feel like I’m
doing a service,” she said. “Because we exist,
people have come into contact with artists
they wouldn’t have known.”
The proliferation of galleries can mean that
some must depend on other services for
income. Cantrell Gallery, like many of those in
the city, offers custom framing for art or photographs that customers bring to their stores,
and Hearne Fine Art shares its space with
Pyramid Art Books and Custom Framing.
The Chroma gallery in the Heights area
sells frames, but most walls and tables and
the floor hold original works of Arkansas
artists that might catch the eye of someone
who came in only for a frame.
Chroma’s owner, Robert Reep, said sales
don’t have to be in brick-and-mortar stores, as
many artists maintain Web sites instead.
“I’ve noticed over the years that galleries
aren’t necessarily the first option when
someone is interested in buying art,” Reep
said. “There’s a tendency to go directly to the
artist,” a greater likelihood if a potential
buyer spotted a work at a restaurant, for
instance.
When Ginger Ogle suggested giving
her 3-year-old son an antihistamine to
help him sleep during an eight-hour
flight to Europe, her husband “was
appalled that I’d even consider drugging
our child,” she says. He bought a
portable DVD player instead, to play inflight movies for his son.
But after four hours on the plane with
a kicking, whining, irritable child — who
was unconsoled by the movies or grabbag of other distractions the Berkeley,
Calif., couple had brought along — he
reluctantly agreed to try a dose of
Benadryl. The medication didn’t seem to
have much effect, Ms. Ogle says, but the
incident shows how divisive the issue
can be.
Should parents medicate their babies
and toddlers to calm them on long
flights? As the summer travel season
approaches, this question will drive a
wedge between more mothers and
fathers, grandparents and parents —
and sometimes, it seems, between
stressed-out parents and almost
everyone else on the plane. Leisure
travel is projected to rise 2 percent this
year after an estimated 4 percent
increase in 2005, says the Travel
Industry Association, a Washington, D.C.,
trade group, and some 31 percent of
travelers will have children in tow.
In an online poll conducted for this
column by the parenting Web site
www.BabyCenter.com, 33 percent of 3,657
parents who responded said they’d
never sedate their children for a plane
flight, and 24 percent said they’ve never
needed to. But 18 percent said they have
and would do so again, and an additional 20 percent said they’ve considered doing so. “It’s sort of the guilty
secret of parents,” says Erik Budde, San
Carlos, Calif., owner of www.travelwithyourkids.com, a family-travel site.
One mother, on a message board
attached to the poll, defended her use of
Benadryl to calm a frightened toddler,
asserting it’s “the right thing to do for
the child, the other passengers, the
flight crew and yes, the parents as well.”
A critic fired back: “What kind of parent
sedates their child?”
The controversy seems to arise more
from differences in parenting philosophies than safety concerns. The American Academy of Pediatrics doesn’t have
a position on the matter, and individual
pediatricians vary in their views. “If you
asked 100 pediatricians, you’d get 20
strongly in favor, 60 who didn’t think
about it much, and 20 strongly opposed,”
says Richard Gorman, past chairman of
the American Academy of Pediatrics’
National Committee on Drugs. “Good
doctors can disagree about this, just as
thoughtful parents can disagree.”
Children’s Benadryl Allergy liquid,
with antihistamine as the single active
ingredient, is widely regarded as safe
for children; because drowsiness is
often a side effect, it’s a common choice
among parents. Its maker, Pfizer, recommends parents consult their pediatrician before administering the medication to children under 6 or to any youngsters with breathing problems such as
chronic bronchitis. While Benadryl is
“very safe” when used as directed, it
isn’t intended to be used as a sedative
and “we don’t promote any off-label
use,” a spokeswoman says.

Wisconsin strengthening its ‘green’ image
Bob Retzlaff
Travel scene
W
isconsin is turning green —
at least some lodgings,
restaurants and other
tourism businesses are — as the
result of a new state environmental
program that is in its first stages.
The state has long had a “green
tradition,” as the home of such
famed naturalists as John Muir and
Aldo Leopold, and the late U.S. Sen.
Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth
Day. This new program will
enhance Wisconsin’s reputation as
an environmentally-conscious state,
tourism officials said.
The program is starting this
spring on a pilot basis and will certify tourism businesses that adopt
sustainable business practices that
will reduce their environmental and
social impact.
The certification tool for the
Travel Green Wisconsin program
will include an application and selfevaluation checklist that contains
basic principles and minimum
requirements in a number of categories, including energy efficiency,
waste reduction, air quality, water
conservation, employee training,
and others.
The initiative will get under way
in six communities, and one of them
will be Bayfield, where the enthusiasm for the program has been
unmatched.
Bayfield is located in northwestern Wisconsin along the Lake
Superior shores, overlooking
Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle
Islands National Lakeshore.
The picturesque village of some
700 has been chosen by the Chicago
Tribune as “The Best Little Town in
the Midwest.” Bayfield offers a
variety of activities, including
kayaking, golf, sport fishing and
wilderness trips. Area orchards,
wildflowers and daffodils add color

and flavor from spring through
autumn.
To qualify as a pilot community,
the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce
was required to select no more than
10 members to participate in the
program. However, because of overwhelming interest among Bayfield
businesses, 20 firms have been
selected.
In addition to implementing sustainable practices, the benefits of
certification include marketing
advantages through promotional
materials, web site listings on the
State Department of Tourism’s web
site and the Travel Green Wisconsin
website.

A massive $2 billion expansion at
Phoenix’ Sky Harbor International
Airport is in the works, with recent
federal approval granted.
The project will include the constriction of a 33-gate terminal to be
finished by 2012 and will necessitate the demolition of aging Terminal 2. The expansion is viewed as
one that will accommodate Phoenix’
air service requirements for the
next 20 years. Last year 41.2 million
passengers traveled through Sky
Harbor, notes the Arizona Republic.

Story by Mike Dougherty
Post-Bulletin
Skunkboy

ord travels fast at the skate park
or on the ski slopes when Paul
Zacker arrives with his camera.
It usually travels in a single
word: “Skunkboy.”
“Everybody knows Skunkboy,” said Justin
Peterson, 12, who goes by the nickname
“Carpet Monkey,” during a break at the
Silver Lake Skate Park in Rochester. “When
you land a new trick, you want proof of it. It
gives you bragging rights. You tell your
friends, go look at it on Skunkboy.”
Indeed they do. Skunkboy.net, where
Zacker, 26, aka “Skunkboy” posts his photos
and videos of boarders, gets more than 2
million views a month, Zacker says. The
recent months have produced these numbers, according to Zacker: 1,981,273, February; 2,251,882, March; and 2,048,010, April.
“I didn’t know about Skunkboy until I was
at the skate park and people were talking
about him,” said Kaacee Cockrell, 13, of
Rochester. “Everybody was talking about
him, so then you go home and check out the
Web site. It’s pretty cool.”
The cool is that it’s free, and Zacker and
his assistants capture many of the moments
that are usually only captured in a
boarder’s memory or in a blurry photo.
Sometimes, these digital photos bridge
the distance for parents or grandparents
who couldn’t make it to see the stunts of the
boy or girl. Zacker said grandparents and
out-of-state relatives have sent him e-mails
with thanks for putting up photos of their
grandson, granddaughter or relative.
The site has operated in various forms for
10 years. No one has been charged for
downloading pictures of themselves. Zacker,
who operates it with just a small amount of
support, has been contemplating where to
take the site next, possibly as a nonprofit
site, because it’s currently operated out of
his pocket to the tune of $5,000 annually,
Zacker said.
“We would like to turn the site into a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization, but at this
point, it’s too expensive to get that done,”
Zacker said.
Skunkboy is born
Zacker has always been interested in
skiing. It was on the slopes of Timber Ridge
over online predators, Zacker keeps a close
watch on who is identified, mainly getting
the IDs for the photos from the skiers and
skaters. If he’s contacted later, he will
remove the identification.
“This is about fun, and so if someone’s
concerned, we’ll remove the name,” he says.
At the park
When Zacker showed up at the Silver
Lake Skate Park recently for a photo shoot,
word spread quickly. Skaters would stop for
a second, talk with their friends and then
glance in Zacker’s direction to see what he
was watching.
He’s reserved and quiet, dressed in black.
He knows the skaters and they know him.
They all want to know when their shots will
be on the site.
“Hey, make sure you get this,” shouts
Peterson, a Kellogg Middle School student,
who’s using his inline skates, because he
broke his skate board.
Zacker smiles and nods.
The attention is nice, but Zacker also
notes he occasionally has to assure parents
and authorities that he’s just there to shoot
photos. He’s had discussions with inquisitive law enforcement officials and parents,
he said.
“I think once they see the site is what it
is, people relax,” Zacker said.
He’s worked in various day jobs to pay his
living expenses and hopes he can figure a

Dog creating stress in new marriage
DEAR ANNIE: I have been married to “Jack” for three years. One
month into our marriage, we
adopted a dog from the pound -- an
adorable, rather hyperactive 6month-old mixed breed we named
Heidi.
Since then, we have struggled
with Heidi. She is a very loving dog,
but her temperament is hard to
keep in check, although she’s much
better than she used to be. We have
taken Heidi to obedience classes,
and she is able to follow directions
as long as she is not distracted by
people or other dogs.
The problem is, Jack has had a
difficult time adjusting to Heidi,
especially since we purchased a
house 18 months ago. Heidi’s nails,
whether trimmed or not, scratch our
new hardwood floors, the deck he
built with his father and the
wooden fence that Jack put in himself. He worries about adding landscaping in the backyard for fear
that Heidi will “just ruin that, too.”
Furthermore, Jack is tired of seeing
Heidi’s large crate sit in our tiny
living room because there is
nowhere else to put it. He does not
like having guests over because
Heidi gets too excited.
Jack wants to find Heidi a new
home. He is not willing to go
through more training, and he does
not want to cover the hardwood
floors with carpet or make other
accommodations for Heidi’s
behavior.
But, Annie, I have become very
attached to Heidi. I am stressed out
about Jack and Heidi, and if Jack
insists on sending Heidi to a new
home, I will be bitter and upset. I
know Jack doesn’t want to cause me
grief, but he simply cannot manage
Heidi anymore.
How did a dog become my marriage’s biggest stress point? How do
I resolve this? -- Cornered in California
DEAR CORNERED: If you force
Jack to keep Heidi, he will resent
both you and the dog. This also
would be unfair to Heidi, who
deserves a home where she is
wanted by the entire family. We
know you love her, but she should
not become more important than
your marriage. Please find her a
new, loving home. Soon.
DEAR ANNIE: I was appalled by
the letter from “No Room,” whose
daughter-in-law made her sit in the
kitchen while everyone else ate in
the dining room. You should have
told her the Brothers Grimm tale: An
old man lived with his married son,
but as Grandpa became more and
more feeble, his table manners worsened, and he could not hold onto the
dishes. Finally, the son and daughterin-law moved him to a small table in
a corner where he would eat by himself from a wooden bowl.
Soon, the little grandson began
collecting wood scraps. When asked
by his father what he was doing, the
boy replied, “I’m making a wooden
bowl for you and Mother, so you can
eat by yourselves in the corner
someday when I get big.”
That daughter-in-law should be
reminded that what goes around
comes around. -- R. in the Midwest
DEAR R.: Hundreds of other
readers wrote with the same sentiments. Children learn what they
see, and we hope all parents are
paying attention.
DEAR ANNIE: National Nurses
Week begins May 6. I have been
privileged to be a bedside RN for
the last 27 years, but many of my

financial assistance to pursue their

a wonderful tribute to any nurse
who has touched you or a loved one.

treatment options:
• Topical corticosteroids:
These creams can help return
pigment to small areas
affected by vitiligo. It takes at
least three months before you
see results.
• Ultraviolet therapy: Controlled exposure to ultraviolet light one to three times a
week for a year can help
repigment the skin. Patients
use the medication psoralen
to make the skin sensitive to
light. About half of patients
see improvement with this
treatment.
• Skin transplant: The
doctor can transplant tiny
pieces of the patient’s normal
skin to affected areas. This
therapy is considered experimental.
• Depigmentation: If vitiligo
affects a large portion of the
body, medication can be used
to fade the rest of the skin to
more closely match the white
patches.
If you or a family member
has vitiligo, seek out a doctor
who’s knowledgeable about
the condition to determine a
treatment approach. And be
extra cautious in the sun.

READERS: Are you too old

an automatic barrier to elective surgery, according to
Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource.
Increased life expectancy,
safer forms of anesthesia and
less-invasive surgical techniques have made it possible
for older adults — in their
70s, 80s and beyond — to
have many types of elective
surgery.
According to a growing
number of studies, overall
mental and physical health —
not age — is a better predictor of a successful outcome after many elective procedures.
The goal of most elective
surgeries is to improve and
maintain physical functioning
and overall quality of life.
Add to this the increasing
number of older Americans,
and it’s clear why the age is
rising among women and men
undergoing such procedures
as hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and
even coronary artery bypass

Surgery still has risks. Complications and death related
to surgery generally are
higher in adults over 70.
Recovery time may be longer
for older adults. When considering elective surgery, ask
your doctor and surgeon to
help you weigh the risks and
benefits.
