UnwantedhitchhikerinvadesCedar LakeThe body of water is thefirst in McLeod Countyto be infected with Eurasianwatermilfoil

By JEFF SCHNEIDERStaff Writer

Just prior to the turn of the century, theinvasive aquatic species Eurasian water-milfoil began to infiltrate lakes nearMcLeod County. Since its initial discoveryin the area, it has spread to more thanseven lakes, most recently Cedar Lake.

Following itsjourney to Amer-ica centuriesago, Eurasianwatermilfoil hasbeen passedfrom state tostate, most com-monly by hitch-ing a ride onu n s u s p e c t i n gwater vessels.

Though Eurasian watermilfoil is non-toxic to humans, the effects it has on theecosystem are overwhelming. Its ability togrow at rapid rates in mat-like formationsprevents smaller vegetation at the bottomof infested bodies of water from growing.This throws a wrench into the early stagesof the food chain and can lead to severalrepercussions.

Two heart attacks, 15 ministrokes, the insertion of sixstents and a pacemakerhave taught Gene O’Neillplenty about his heart.

When he faced end-stage heart fail-ure in June, a condition that killsabout 300,000 Americans a year, heand his wife of 33 years, Gloria, weregiven three options at Abbott North-western Hospital in Minneapolis.

The first, do nothing, meant deathwithin five to 10 days. The second,wear a constant intravenous drip,

would extend his life about a year. Thethird, which they chose, is a mechani-cal circulatory support in the form of aventricular assist device, or VAD forshort.

The device, which helps maintainthe pumping ability of an ailing heart,received extensive media coveragewhen Vice President Dick Cheneywore it for 20 months before receivinga heart transplant.

Due to his age, 75, Gene is not acandidate for a heart transplant. In hiscase, the pump is his lifeline. It hasproven to significantly improve the

Much of the summer break for New Discoveries MontessoriAcademy Superintendent Dave Conrad was spent beefing upstaff at the charter school.

Perhaps the most prominent of the new positions is that ofprincipal, something the school really didn’t have before. Whenit came time to find someone to take on that challenge, Conradhad in mind someone with education experience at many lev-els who was working about 1,200 miles away.

Former Ridgewater College Vice President Bob Cannon andhis family arrived back in Minnesota from Philadelphia thispast weekend. He was greeting students at the Hutchinson ele-mentary school just three days later.

The McLeod County Board again onTuesday debated requests from thecounty Housing and RedevelopmentAuthority to provide $50,000 annuallyin assistance to help with mainte-nance and replenish its reserve funds.

The board voted to not grant theHRA authority to levy funds on itsown.

“That’s our job,” said CommissionerSheldon Nies.

Commissioner Bev Wangerin said inmeetings with the HRA, an agreementhad been reached in which the countywould work with the HRA on waterand pavement issues at its townhous-es in Glencoe when the county does itsnearby Morningside Avenue project in

2014.At a previous meeting, Jim Mills of

the HRA Board of Directors said freez-ing issues had caused pavement toheave at the units, sometimes leavinggarage doors and front doors inopera-ble.

However, said Commissioner RayBayerl, that does not occur every win-ter.

Mills had estimated it could cost upto $100,000 to correct the water issuesand subsequent heaving caused byfreezing, and to replace the damagedpavement.

As to the annual request for $50,000,County Auditor-Treasurer CindySchultz said it is currently in the 2013budget as part of the county’s ownannual levy.

Wangerin said she does not like the

idea of using county funds to help outthe HRA.

“I’m not hep on this $50,000 we putin the budget,” Wangerin said. She saidthe county-sponsored townhouses,which are market-value housing andnot part of the Section 8 housing pro-gram, compete with privately ownedrental housing.

Wangerin said she has beenapproached by private owners and hasheard the statement, “If you helpthem, you should help us.”

Commissioner Sheldon Nies point-ed out that the county will have someliability on the bonds the HRA used tofinance the townhouses if the town-houses go under.

“If they fold, we’re responsible forthe bonds?” Nies said.

County Attorney Mike Junge saidthe county would be responsible forabout 10 percent of the total value ofeach bond issue, of which there arefour separate issues totaling about$3.69 million.

If the county chooses not to levy for

the HRA, it could help in another wayby refinancing the bonds, Junge sug-gested.

Junge said interest on the bondsaverages about 5 percent to 6 percent.The county could offer a lower per-centage rate, and then gain someinterest income on the money it lendsto the HRA. Both the HRA and thecounty would be in a “win-win” situa-tion under that scenario, he added.

“That would decrease their (HRA)interest payments by an awfully lot ofmoney,” said Junge, which would freeup money for maintenance and build-ing reserves.

But on the other side of the coin,Junge cautioned, is that the countywould then be responsible for theentire HRA debt, rather than 10 per-cent. And there is some doubt, withthe declining housing market, if theproperties are worth the money bor-rowed against them.

Another option, Junge said, is to“sell them out (the townhouses), sufferthe consequences and say ‘never

again’” to county-owned, market-value housing projects.

Wangerin said the townhousesstarted with a good purpose — tobring market-value rental housing tothe smaller communities in the coun-ty, which are not as desirable to privateinvestors.

In the early to mid-1990s, the HRAbuilt townhouse complexes in Stew-art, Brownton, Lester Prairie, SilverLake and Glencoe.

The County Board asked CountyAuditor-Treasurer Cindy Schultz andJunge to investigate the financial andlegal issues involved with helping outthe HRA.

“We need to know what our liabilitywould be,” said Nies.

Schultz and Junge said they wouldbring information back to a futureBoard meeting for further debate.

Do yousuffer from

headaches?

Today’s electronic media is everywhere — computers,smart phones, tablets, high definition televisions, videogames put increased demands on the visual system.Constant use of these devices often leaves us with tiredeyes or headache pain. Recent research has confirmed thata contributing cause of headaches is eye misalignment,which can have serious effects on near vision. These typesof headaches often start at the front of our head and moveto the back and are often mistaken for sinus and migraineheadaches. Other possible symptoms include dry/sandyfeeling eyes with near work, night-time glare, blurrywords, and tired eyes, especially with reading.

At Regional Eye Center, we now have Opt-align VisionTesting to help determine if you have a proprioceptionimbalance (eye misalignment) that is causing yourheadaches. For the month of September, we are offering afree Opt-align vision screening with your comprehensiveeye exam to determine if you would benefit from speciallydesigned glasses that would alleviate the eye imbalanceand get rid of your headaches.

Call today to set upan appointment and ask for

the Opt-align screeningwith your eye exam.

IN AN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, two motorcyclists went into the ditch along State Highway7, five miles west of Hutchinson, within two minutes of each other, just a few hundred yards apart. In this view, passersby andsome of the first emergency personnel to arrive tended to John L. Smith, 56, of Darwin. According to the Minnesota StatePatrol, Smith had been westbound aboout 3:06 p.m. on a 2007 Yamaha Scooter motorcycle when an air disturbance causedby semi-truck headed in the opposite direction forced him toward the shoulder. Smith lost control and entered the north (east)ditch. He was taken by Allina Ambulance to the St. Cloud hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He was wearing a helmet.His cycle sustained moderate damage.

NEWS BRIEFS

The summer of 2012 will godown in history as one of thewarmest everrecordedacross Min-nesota. Formost of us,this news isno surprise.

For theMinneapo-lis/St. Paularea, whererecords goback into the1800s, thiswas the thirdwarmestsummer on record. The mete-orological summer runs fromJune 1 through Aug. 31.According to the NationalWeather Service and its data,

Minneapolis was a little betteroff with a total of 9.87 inchesof rain which was 2.72 inchesbelow average.

In case you’re wondering, thehottest summer on record wasthe summer of 1988 and thesecond hottest was during theGreat Depression back in 1933.

So far for September, we arecontinuing a trend of above-normal temperatures. We’remore than six degrees aboveaverage with little moisture.

“It outcompetes vegetation in waterand disrupts the natural community,”said Nick Brown, invasive species spe-cialist for the Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources based inHutchinson. “The native plants andaquatic life will suffer if it (Eurasianwatermilfoil) gets out of hand.”

Along with the effects it has onwildlife and flora in the water,Eurasian watermilfoil can impactwater vessels’ capability to crossthrough its tangled terrain. If a boathas to cross through a large patch ofEurasian watermilfoil, chances arehigh that not only will it get wedged insome part of the boat, but it also willspread as the propeller cuts through it.

“The most common way it(Eurasian watermilfoil) spreads is byplant fragmentation,” Brown said.“The vegetation will break off andwash up-shore where it can attachitself to trailers and boats. On a lot ofboats, the Eurasian watermilfoil tendto get in those tough-to-reach areas.People need to get on their hands andknees to scrub it off.”

Checking boats, trailersWith this invasive species’ ability to

self splinter and slip into cracks andsmall gaps of trailers and water vehi-cles, it is important for people to do athorough check of all of their equip-ment before re-launching their vessel.

Due to its asexual reproduction,Eurasian watermilfoil doesn’t need anyhelp to turn from a small infestation tothe full-fledged consumption of a lake;

making it impossible to fully eradicateonce it has infiltrated a body of water.

“Once Eurasian watermilfoil estab-lishes itself in a lake, all we can hopeto do is control it,” Brown said.

Like most aquatic infestations, thebest way to prevent it is to inform thepublic because once it’s in a lake orriver, it’s there to stay.

The Minnesota DNR has beenworking hard to inform the publicabout the dangers of aquatic hitch-hikers though education and enforce-ment. Education has been ramped upstatewide through the local govern-ment, lake associations and the use ofbillboards. Law enforcement hasbegun to crack down harder and hasinstituted new fines to deter peoplefrom transporting invasive species.

Along with getting the word out andmonetary punishments, the state hascreated several decontamination unitsthroughout Minnesota. These self-con-tained mobile trailers use high pres-sure, hot water to guarantee that nounwanted aquatic life or vegetation isclinging to any boats or trailers.

Two ways to stop itDespite everything the state and

DNR have done and continue to do, itis impossible to prevent anotherinfestation without the help of anentire community. When Eurasianwatermilfoil is introduced to a previ-ously clean body of water, there areseveral options available to stifle anoverwhelming outbreak.

“There are two ways to remove

Eurasian watermilfoil, mechanicallyand chemically,” Brown said. “Mostwho are treating use chemicals.”

The chemicals used to treatEurasian watermilfoil depend on thesituation. Based on the aquatic life inthe body of water, coupled with thecost and efficacy, DNR officials candetermine the appropriate chemicalsto combat this infestation. However, ifthe public gets involved and gets edu-cated, more state lakes can be pro-tected against infection.

One way people can help is byknowing how to identify it from itsclose relative, the native Northernwatermilfoil. Unlike the Eurasianspecies, the Northern watermilfoil iscommon to the area and does notpose an ecological disruption. Thedifference between the two comesdown to the number of leaflet pairs.The local Northern watermilfoil usu-ally has between five to 10 pairs perleaf, while the Eurasian watermilfoiltypically has 12 to 21 pairs per leaf.

An even bigger problem recentlyarose with the hybridization of thetwo types of watermilfoil.

“The Minnesota DNR treatshybridized watermilfoil the same asinvasive,” Brown said.

When the two types of watermilfoilhybridize, the amount of leaflet pairstends to fall in between the two guide-lines, which can possibly lead to mis-classification by a lay person. In caseslike this, or if there is any other suspi-cion of infestation, the best course ofaction is to contact the local DNR.Locally, the number to call is 320-234-2560.

If the water has not been labeled asinfected, a sample can be broughtinto the DNR to determine if there is apossible infestation. However, it maybe easier just to have a local DNR rep-resentative come to the scene andcheck it.

“I’d rather visit a dozen false alarmsthan let one slip through the cracks,”Brown said.

New outdoors group establishedBy JOSH RANDTStaff Writer

Hosting what it hopes to be anannual event, the Central MinnesotaSportsmen Alliance Chapter will haveits first banquet on Sept. 22. Thechapter was created in July, and is amember of the Conservation Partnersof America.

Started by former members of theNational Turkey Confederation, thechapter was created and joined withthe CPA to get more localized pro-grams and projects done in the area.

Scott Scheidt, a member of the

board of directors for the CPA, saidthe chapter’s main goal is to getwomen and youth more involved inthe outdoors.

“We’re trying to get more of a fami-ly oriented chapter that strives ondoing things as a family,” Scheidt said,“instead of just the guys out for theweekend.”

Along with that, the group plans toreintroduce trap shooting andarchery leagues at the high schoollevel. Scheidt said Glencoe-SilverLake High School is already workingwith the group regarding this, andthere’s been an indication of interest

from Hutchinson High School as well. “Right now they’re focusing on

Glencoe and Hutchinson,” he said.“Arlington has had it for two years,and it’s been a really good program forthe kids.”

Scheidt said the group is 100-per-cent nonprofit, and doesn’t circulatethe money to different areas.

“We’ve been in existence for about11 to 12 years,” he said. “We’ve beenable to put about $300,000 dollarsinto McLeod and Sibley counties forhabitat and restoration programs …The main goal of the chapter is that allthe money that is raised stays locally.”

quality of life and survival of heart-failure patients.

While the pump is implanted dur-ing open heart surgery, lines extendoutside of the belly wall, which areconnected to two batteries or an elec-tric console. The pump runs at a con-tinuous flow of 8,400 to 9,900 revolu-tions per minute — similar to that ofa new jet engine.

The batteries are connected to acontrol device similar in size to anearly cell phone. He carries the hard-ware, which weighs about six pounds,in the pockets of a vest. At night, hedisconnects the batteries and con-nects the lines to an electric console.In the event of battery failure or elec-trical interruption, the control devicewill emit a loud beeping noise.

Gene has a slight pulse. It can’t befelt, but it can be heard via a stetho-scope. His heart beat doesn’t makethe traditional sound we’re familiarwith, but more of a swooshing noise.

To assist Gene with his daily cares,Gloria took several hours of trainingat Abbott.

Last month, a class was conductedat Hutchinson Community Hospitalby Lisa Lundquist, a registered nurseand VAD coordinator at AbbottNorthwestern. Health care providers,ambulance personnel and firefightersattended the session to learn how to

care for Gene in the event of an emer-gency. Gene is the only patient inMcLeod County with a VAD.

How common is it? Abbott North-western has implanted 44 so far, withthe University of Minnesota and theMayo Clinic having implanted morethan 100 each. There are about 750VAD patients in the United States. Formany it’s a bridge to a heart trans-plant. For others like Gene, it’s the dif-ference between life and death.

Gene’s storyWith his history of heart problems,

Gene knew when he began experi-encing shortness of breath and tired-ness late last fall that he needed med-ical attention. The O’Neills visited hishealth care provider who didn’t “rec-ognize my symptoms as serious,” hesaid.

By December, Gene rememberstelling a friend, “I felt like a dead manwalking.”

“I used that terminology,” he said.In January, he and Gloria took an

extended vacation that took themfrom Minnesota to the East Coast,Florida and home again.

“I felt like I put together somebucket list things,” he said. “It wasgradually getting worse. I thought itwas my lungs because of shortness ofbreath.”

In May, the O’Neills made anappointment with a lung specialist inthe Twin Cities. They discovered itwasn’t his lungs, but his heart. Thedoctor referred him to a cardiologist.

“I was told, ‘You don’t know howsick you are,’ Gene said. ”You’re notgoing home. You’re going to Abbott.”

He was hospitalized for a week withcongestive heart failure. When therewas no change in his condition, hewas sent home.

On June 15, Gene was conductinghis pacemaker test when he wasinformed his numbers were off. Thecouple headed to Urgent Care forassistance. From there, he was sent tothe Hutchinson Community HospitalER and by ambulance to AbbottNorthwestern Hospital.

The news wasn’t good. At thatpoint, his heart was working at 15percent capacity.

The couple were given the threetreatment options. The first twooptions weren’t good.

The third option made sense.“I kept asking myself is this real or a

bad dream I’m having,” Gloria said.

SurgeryThe decision to go with the VAD

option, which both described as “nodecision,” was made two days later.

“I’m glad we did it,” Gloria said.

“The alternatives weren’t good.”From June 17 to his surgical date of

June 27, his heart went from 15 per-cent functionality to 10 percent.

“You can see how fast it was goingdown,” he said.

During the 12 days between deci-sion and surgery, Gene underwentphysical and psychological evalua-tion.

He was also one of 30 people in theUnited States selected for a VAD/stemcell research project in which 10 peo-ple would receive a placebo and 20would receive 10 pieces of stem cellsin the heart. The goal is to growenough heart muscle to use to repairit.

“I felt kind of handpicked,” Genesaid.

During the 12 days of preparation,the couple met two men with VADimplants. Both were living relativelynormal lives.

“It gave us hope,” she said.The day after surgery, Gene said he

was hit with the thought, “God gaveyou a new life.”

“We’re so thankful for the Abbottpeople,” Gloria added. “They havebecome a part of our life. Everyone atAbbott is wonderful.”

While Gene recovered from surgery,Gloria admitted, “I didn’t think Iwould be able to care for him.”

After undergoing six hours of class-es, her confidence returned.

“Now she does all the work,” Genesaid, “and I bless the Lord everydayfor her.”

Living at homeDue to the VAD implant, Gene will

never swim again. At this point,bathing is restricted to sponge bathsbecause he can’t get the hardware wetand the incisions aren’t completelyhealed.

In the future, he’ll have zipperedplastic bags, which will allow him toshower. His only diet restriction is nosalt. He is working to regain the 30pounds he lost.

It takes about 45 minutes — in themorning and evening — for Gloria togo through Gene’s medical checklist.Through cardiac rehab at HutchinsonCommunity Hospital, his strength isreturning.

During the first month at home, hehad weekly doctor appointments.Beginning in October, the coupleexpects to visit Abbot about once amonth.

“I feel I have a mission,” Gene said,with much feeling. “I feel a strongobligation to the Lord. I don’t want todo anything I did wrong before. Nomore mistakes. I have a secondchance at life.”

Cannon comes to the position from EasternUniversity in Philadelphia, where he was a facul-ty member and administrator working with thedoctorate program and organizational leader-ship. But he is familiar with Hutchinson from histime with Ridgewater from 2004 to 2008. Thoughmuch of his time then was spent at the Willmarcampus, he did visit Hutchinson weekly.

“During those years, I met some of the peoplehere at this school,” Cannon said Wednesday as hesettled into his new role. “Dave and I would get intouch by phone or email about once a year. Thelast time we talked, I told Dave I was looking for aleadership role and a school like this because I wasinterested in Montessori. There are Montessoriphilosophies that I line up with very well.”

Part of his doctorate work at the University ofPennsylvania in Philadelphia had dealt withMontessori. Cannon’s master’s and doctorate arein education, and he has been an administratorat various higher education positions for the pastdozen years. Two of those positions involved pro-gram development for young students and adultlearners.

NDMA reorganizedCannon will work with other new staff and

program efforts being implemented by New Dis-coveries under an improvement plan developedin response to low scores on recent state studentassessments. A $450,000 grant from the Min-nesota Department of Education is fundingmuch of the effort. His position is part of thereorganization that gives Conrad some differentduties.

“It is an effective reorganization,” Cannonsaid. “Many of our responsibilities will be shared,but we have many separate responsibilities. I

think the two of us are going to work greattogether.”

Cannon said Montessori is a good fit for himbecause he has worked under similar philoso-phies that stress inquiry, critical thinking andconstructive meaning, a education method thatleads students to reach solutions about prob-lems rather than memorizing answers.

“It is a core of Montessori,” Cannon said. “Chil-dren do need to be led, but the powerful learningexperience is when they come to their own cor-rect conclusion. It is good to have a child think.I’d rather see them take the time to arrive at theanswer than just give them the answer.”

Even though he has extensive experience atmany levels of education, Cannon acknowl-edged his position at New Discoveries is a “newventure” for him. But he said there are a lot ofsimilar activities at all levels of education evenwhen the audience is different. In this case, theaudience is made up of elementary students.

As principal, Cannon sees supporting theteachers as his No. 1 role, followed closely bybuilding relationships between the school, par-ents and community. He also will work with staffand Conrad on policy issues.

“And I’ll be interacting quite a bit with stu-dents,” he said. “It is a student learning-centeredenvironment,” Cannon said. “The schoolimprovement plan and grant award will allow alot of that. This is kind of a formalization of thatwhole.”

Moving back to Minnesota with Cannon is hiswife, Carrie, and their six children, who range inage from 2 to 12. He spends a lot of his free timewith the family, and enjoys visiting with friends,running and hiking with his dogs, and beinginvolved with his church.

Cannon has a deep interestin Montessori approach

Heart of Hutch partnered withHutchinson Area Health Care to kickoff its community-based screeningefforts at the McLeod County Fair.The HAHC booth offered free healthassessments, which included bloodpressure, pulse, height/weight, andwaist circumference. Thank you tothe 215 adults that participated inthis free health assessment, theresults of which are the first to beused toward calculating our commu-nity “health score.”

The screening of our communitynumbers so far (based on the 215participants screened) showed that:� 68 percent had high blood pres-

sure readings;� 90 percent had heart rates with-

in normal range;� 39 percent had a body mass

index indicating overweight (a BMIbetween 25-29.9);� 37 percent had a BMI indicat-

ing obese (a BMI over 30); and� 55 percent had a waist circum-

ference out of normal range (normalrange is under 35 inches for womenand under 40 inches for men).

What do these numbers mean?The initial results indicate a need

to improve the overall wellness ofour community. Blood pressure andpulse are two tools used to assesshow hard an individual’s heart isworking. BMI is a measurement todetermine appropriate weight for anindividual’s height. Waist circumfer-ence is an important tool becausefor women with a waist circumfer-ence greater than 35 inches, andmen greater than 40 inches, the

chance of developing heart diseaseand diabetes Type 2 increases bythree times.

Ongoing screening efforts will alsofactor in a health risk assessment,blood glucose and cholesterolresults. Participants screened at thefair are invited to complete theremaining screening areas to obtaintheir full “health score” by contactingme at 320-484-4556.

Upcoming community screenings

are scheduled with the HutchinsonRotary Club and Shalom BaptistChurch Running/Jogging Ministry.To schedule a no-cost individualhealth screening or a screeningevent for your local communitygroup or employer, please contactCandace Hoversten at 320-484-4557.We will be sure to continue toupdate Hutchinson about upcomingscreening opportunities and thedeveloping results.

Invasive species and diseases are seriousthreats to Minnesota’s outdoors. That’s whystiffer penalties are needed to protect it.

OpinionFIRST AMENDMENT “Congress shall make no lawrespecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of the peoplepeaceably to assemble, and to petition theGovernment for a redress of grievances.”EDITORIALS, LETTERS, COMMENTARY

6ASUNDAY,SEPTEMBER 9, 2012HUTCHINSON LEADER

Today’s front-page storyabout the spread ofEurasian watermilfoilinto McLeod County’sCedar Lake demonstrates

the fragility of our environment.It takes only one negligent boater

to infect a lake.Similarly, it takes only one negli-

gent camper to spread emerald ashborer.

And it takes only one misguidedgardener to introduce the noxiousweed buckthorn to a neighborhood.

Invasive species and diseases are aconstant threat to the outdoors, andour enjoyment of it.

Consider, for example, that thewolf population on Isle Royale, inLake Superior off the tip of Minneso-ta’s Arrowhead region, once num-bered five times the current popula-tion. That was in the early 1980s,before a pet dog brought by a visitorto the island introduced canine par-vovirus, which decimated the wolfpopulation. The wolves now are atrisk of extinction.

That pet dog had no place on IsleRoyale. The owner was at fault.

When Eurasian watermilfoil wasintroduced into Lake Minnetonka in1987 — the first Minnesota lake tobe infected — the cause was proba-bly an unknowing boater.

But now that nearly every body ofwater with public access has inva-sive species warning signs forboaters, there’s no reason for water-milfoil to spread.

Yet as of July 24, 193 Minnesotabodies of water had been infected.Cedar Lake is the first in McLeod

County. In Meeker County, sevenlakes have been affected.

How can the spread of watermil-foil, ash borer, zebra mussels andinfectious animal diseases bestopped? Some have advocatedstiffer penalties.

At present, guilty boaters areslapped with fines ranging from$100 to $500, depending on if they’respreading aquatic plants, zebramussels or other invasive species.And those fines are double com-pared to what they were earlier thissummer. The fine for moving fire-wood is a puny $100.

How about increasing those finesfive- or 10-fold? Maybe only then willboaters, campers and others take pre-cautionary steps that are needed.

In 67 Ohio counties, for example,the fine for moving ash firewood ispunishable with a $4,000 fine. That’sa law with teeth.

Minnesotans love the outdoors.They proved it several years ago byvoting in favor of a special tax toprotect wildlife and water. But untilmore people seriously take steps toprevent the spread of threats to ourecosystems, a $100 ticket is no worsethan a slap on the wrist.

In the future, legislators shouldthink about the consequences to thestate’s tourism industry when a lakeis infected with choking watermil-foil. They need to understand howan entire forest’s trees can be deci-mated by illegally transported fire-wood.

It’s time to put more strength intothe laws that guard the environ-ment.

I want to thank the law enforce-ment people in your area. I had a flattire yesterday a few miles south ofHutch. I had everything along need-ed to change the flat except my tireiron (must have used it elsewhere

and forgot to put it back!). ThankGod one of your area highwaypatrolmen stopped and let us use his— but he left before I could thankhim properly.

The incident reminded me that,contrary to the majority of newsitems and recognizing there may bea few rogues as there are in any work

force, by and large our law enforce-ment people are good people justlike you and me. Their main concernwhen leaving for work is that theywill return safely to their home andfamily.

As for the rest of us, staying on theirgood side is so simple — all we haveto do is behave. Thank you, officer.

Culvert opponent didn’thave all of his facts rightFrom Mayor Steve CookHutchinson

I would like to respond to a recentletter to the editor (“New culvertwouldn’t beneft many Hutchinsonresidents,” by David Ludowese, Sept.2 Leader) questioning the benefit ofthe replacement box culvert underState Highway 7, which wouldreconnect Campbell Lake to OtterLake and the Crow River.

First, as has been stated before, nodecision has been made yet on theproject or a dollar amount deter-mined. At this point it has beenexploratory to determine the cost andfunctionality of the project. Possiblefunding options and grants are alsobeing explored to reduce the localcost to the city. As more precise infor-mation is gathered, more discussionwill take place to determine if this is aviable project or not at this time.

With that, several other statementsin the letter deserve to be corrected.First the writer refers to the under-pass under Highway 7 by SchoolRoad, and says “we are currently pay-ing for this, as will our children.” Thatstatement is false because the localshare of the project was paid offwhen the project was completedwith funds the city had in its capitalprojects funds. This was a projectthat was probably a once-in-a-life-time opportunity when you considerthe ability to incorporate it within amajor highway reconstruction proj-

ect and the availability of a signifi-cant federal grant. As far as use, theunderpass does get used and it willbe used more now that the trails aregetting completed in the area and theemphasis on wellness increases.Equating the local cost benefit to a $1per use was a poor choice by thewriter, when the value of safety and alife is so much greater.

The writer also mentioned that thelocal sales tax is being used “to payfor our local government deficitspending.” This is also false. As hasbeen stated repeatedly over the pastseveral years, the local sales tax isdedicated to help pay the debt on thenew water plant and the upgradedwaste water plant. That debt has tobe paid one way or another. The salestax revenue replaces water and sewerrevenues that have decreasedbecause of reduced usage at theplants due in large part to the eco-nomic slowdown and its impactlocally, as well as general conserva-tion efforts.

The current and past city councilsand city staffs have taken their fiduci-ary responsibility very seriously and,at least in the past eight years (andlikely much longer), the city has notexperienced “deficit spending.” Thisis the case in spite of a series of sig-nificant cuts in state funding since2008. In fact through good manage-ment the general fund balance hasgrown every year, including in 2008when we were hit by an end of year

$317,000 cut in LGA. As an indicator of the city’s finan-

cial policies and performance, thecity’s bond rating was raised severalyears ago to AA- level, which equatesto a “very strong” rating. This highrating helps reduce interest rates thatthe city pays for its bonds on ourannual improvement projects andsaves the taxpayers money. Finally, inspite of the economic downturn andits impact locally, this bond ratinghas been reaffirmed each year since.That again is a testament to the com-munity and the city’s financial poli-cies and performance.

The city takes its financial respon-sibilities seriously. Yes, budgets havebeen cut, but that was necessary inthe face of reduced state fundingand the desire to limit tax increases.That was also necessary becausethose costs were ongoing and wouldgrow year after year. However, cutswere targeted to limit the impacts onessential services. As a result, publicsafety, street repairs and city pro-grams and services in general arestill being delivered in a high qualitymanner. In addition, possible proj-ects are scrutinized and costs versusbenefits are weighed — not just forthe present, but also for the future.The decision on the Campbell Lakeculvert will be no different, but itwon’t come until the opportunitiesand options are sufficiently explored.And as always, public input is a partof that.

Redefining marriagewould be the sameas redefining the BibleFrom Arnie BoichHutchinson

In response to Cindy Kraemer’sletter from Aug. 29, the definition ofmarriage is not changing and is notevolving.

When looking at defining whattrue marriage is, there has to be anabsolute standard by which we canfollow, and what better standard togo by than by the one who designedand created us, our Lord God. Andwhere does our Saviour speak to us?He speaks to us through His Word,the Bible.

The Bible does say in the Old Tes-tament that there were men whohad multiple wives and concubines,but does that mean that they weredoing God’s will? No! From thebeginning of time it was ordained byGod for a man to leave his fatherand mother and to be united withhis wife, not to multiple wives, andnot to another man. (Genesis 2:24)

It is unnatural and also forbiddenthroughout the Bible for a man to beunited to another man and for awoman to be united with anotherwoman. (Leviticus 18:22, Romans1:24-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10). This isone of the main reasons why Goddestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.The city was filled with sin, and noteven one person could be found inthe city who obeyed God (except forLot and his family).

If we are to redefine marriage,then we are redefining the Bible andwhat God intended for a man and awoman. (Ephesians 5: 21-33)

God created Adam and Eve, notAdam and Steve. (Genesis 1:27, Gen-esis 2:18-24) “Haven’t you read,’ hereplied, that at the beginning theCreator ‘made them male andfemale,’ and said, ‘For this reason aman will leave his father and motherand be united to his wife, and thetwo will become one flesh.’”(Matthew 19:4-5)

Couple builds cider presses

Dean Hurning had already estab-lished his reputation in the areaaround Renville and McLeod coun-ties for producing quality woodwork-ing, including cabinetry, furniture,doors and hardwood flooring.

But his name is now known fromcoast to coast among people raisingapples. That’s because he has createda hand-crafted wooden apple ciderpress that has proven popular withapple fans.

Ain’t She Dusty Woodworking isthe company he and his wife, Debra,operate from their rural Hectorhome. They raise horses, ducks, agoose and a couple of apple trees onthe 10-acre hobby farm they’vecalled home for nine years.

The idea for the cider press sprangfrom a Wisconsin cousin’s requestabout five years ago. Dean made onefor her and another that he andDebra could use for the apples fromtheir pair of trees. Soon, a neighborwanted one, and the idea of makingthem for others took seed. Much ofthe wood is prepared at the Hurn-ings’ own sawmill.

“The way we build them is themore traditional way out of localwood such as oak, ash, hickory andmaple,” Debra said. “One of our firstcustomers down near Chicago want-ed their (apple) customers to be ableto make their own cider.”

Since then, the presses have beensent all over the country, from Cali-fornia to the east coast, and states inbetween, such as Nebraska. A Ver-mont buyer of a press is owner of theWoodchuck Hard Cider line. A lot ofcustomers are making their ownhard cider, Debra said.

“We’ve delivered them in the(Twin) Cities and a lot to Wisconsin,”she added.

Dean admits he went overboardshipping the first three made forother people. The craftsman in himled to the building of all woodencrates, that proved to be heavy andprobably more than the job required.

“We’ve gotten to meet a lot of dif-ferent people,” said Dean, who hasbeen in woodworking for 32 years.“People don’t just squeeze apples.They’ve done grapes, pears, peaches,

plums, and even carrots.”He told of one customer who told

him of opening one side of the ship-ping crate and having tears roll downhis face because he wasn’t expectingsuch quality materials and work-manship.

The press comes with two maincomponents — the grinder half usedto grind up the apples or other fruit,and the press half, all mounted on aframe now equipped with small,wooden wheels on one end for easyof movement. It comes with a life-time warranty.

“As long as I’m alive, and you don’tput a motor on it, it is covered by thewarranty,” Dean said. “Once they puta motor on it, we void the warranty.”

“Dean has done just about any-thing in wood, except a boat,” Debraadded.

Family memories of applesDean Hurning said his main moti-

vation for creating the cider pressesis a desire to build something thatbrings families together. Customershave told them of multi-generationalgatherings they had around pressingapples in the fall. One grandfatherwanted the press he boughtequipped with an engraved platethat would remind his grandson ofwho handed down the press to him.

“The pressing becomes a socialevent for families and friends,” Debrasaid.

The Hurnings make three sizes ofpresses, with the largest starting atabout $820 for the Big Press. TheJunior Press is $665, while the small-est, the Little Squirt, is $520. Eachpress is hand-crafted as they areordered. Sometimes that can be aproblem for a customer who expectsto buy a press and have it deliveredthe same day.

“I only build them as I get ordersfor them, and it takes two to threeweeks to make one. We don’t stockinventory,” said Dean. He oftenworks on the presses between otherjobs, including a horse barn he isbuilding on their farm. This time ofyear can be hectic because somepeople wait until their apples areripening to seek out a press.

“The one thing we are not is we arenot speedy,” Debra said. “Goodthings take time. It isn’t mass pro-duced.”

“I do things in stages,” her hus-band added. “I don’t like to rushthings.”

Customers are advised to applymineral oil to the entire press beforeusing it the first time. That seals the

wood from the acids of the fruit. Aftereach use, they just need to hose it offwith water, let it dry, and cover it, ormove it inside out of the elements.The press they use themselves is 5years old and looks like new.

This fall, the Hurnings are offeringa new service designed to not onlypromote their presses, but to helppeople who might not have a way touse all the apples their trees may pro-duce.

For a fee of just $4 per gallon, they

will bring the press to a customer’shome to press apples into cider. Theyeven will provide the plastic jugs. Inthat way, the cider does not have tobe pasteurized. Debra said the cidercan be frozen in zip-locked plasticbags to drink throughout the winter.

SUNDAY,SEPTEMBER 9, 2012HUTCHINSON LEADER

By STEPHEN [email protected]

The Tigers boys soccer team hashad some close games during its beststart in the program’s history, but onThursday was the closest yet as Hutchdowned Glencoe-Silver Lake, 1-0, in itshome opener.

After starting the season with twostraight wins, Hutchinson (3-1, 2-1Wright County Conference) finallyplayed a game in front of the homecrowd.

The Tigers, and their rivals the Pan-thers, did not disappoint, holdingeach other scoreless until the 19thminute of the second half. That’s whenSanchez struck for his fourth goal ofthe year.

“It is great to beat Glencoe, wehaven’t done that in awhile,” Sanchezsaid. “It’s a good rivalry, and hopefullywe have more wins to come.”

The Panthers made things interest-ing all the way to the end, including ashot at an open net in the thirdminute, after Hutch goalie Nate Thun-strom was taken out going for the ball.

The kick sailed high, though, andHutch was able to kill off the rest of thetime without another close call.

The Tigers greatly outshot the Pan-thers, 24-8, but the reason thereweren’t more Hutch goals, accordingto coach Pieter Nouwen, was becausemany of the shots were rushed.

“They wanted to win against Glen-

coe, but they took a couple of shots toofast,” he said. “They need to wait a lit-tle and focus on it. There were somegood chances.”

Assistant coach Mike Vieira alsothought the Tigers were a bit anxiousin the first half, but settled down morein the second half.

“We were calmer in the second halfthen when we started the game,”assistant coach Mike Vieira said. “ecame out calmer, and saw our chancesto score grow. We rushed a few, but gotour goal when we calmed down.”

For the Panthers (0-7, 0-4 WCC), thiswas their fourth consecutive gamewithout a goal, and the fifth this year.

Although teams have outscoredthem 27-2 so far, first-year head coachColin Kerslake thought Thursday’sgame was a step in the right direction.A big part of that was the addition of afew awaited players.

“We got some guys back from ineli-gibility, so we have a full squad now,”Kerslake said. “We’ve got benchstrength. In the beginning, we had onesubsitute. Now we have six or seven,and things are progressing.”

Hutch holds down Panthers at homeTIGERS BOYS SOCCER


The Hutchinson girls soccer teamhad its home opener spoiled, and con-tinued its losing streak, after a 3-0 lossto Wright County Conference rivals,Glencoe-Silver Lake.

The Tigers (0-2 WCC) are winlessafter their first six games of the season,and Thursday’s loss was the third timethey’ve been shut out this year.

“It was obvious both teams cameout flat at the beginning of the game,but Glencoe wanted to win more thanwe did,” Hutch head coach MikeJacobsen said. “They played a goodgame, and are a much improvedteam.”

On the Panthers’ side, the win overHutch is the first since the Tigersbegan a varsity program, and is the

first conference win GSL (2-4, 1-2WCC) has claimed in a long time.

“It’s been years since we won a con-ference game, and this was a big one,”GSL head coach Zach Otto-Fishersaid.

“It is nice to get a win in our confer-ence and finally beat Hutch,” Pantherforward Kaitlyn Cohrs said. “It’s been afew years coming.”

Cohrs was the main instigator forGSL, scoring the first two goals.

In the first half, Cohrs got twochances at Hutch’s net on penaltykicks. The first was 35 yards out andsailed high.

The second, however, was at about25 yards and hit the left corner of thenet, just out of Hutch goalie EmilyOlinger’s reach.

TIGERS GIRLS SOCCER


Swimming and diving fans at theHutchinson Middle School, onThursday, witnessed something that,for the last four years, has been seenin Jerry Carlson Pool.

That’s because the Tigersharks losta close meet, 94-92, to Mound-West-onka/Holy Family.

According to head coach Rory Fair-banks, this is the first dual meet the’Sharks have lost since losing to Red-wing four years ago.

“We had a lot of little mistakes, anddidn’t race well tonight. That showed

up on the scoreboard,” Fairbankssaid. “They have to realize you can’tgo through the meets and win, youactually have to swim them.”

This is the first year Mound-West-onka and Holy Family are beingallowed to compete together duringthe regular season, and the combinddepth has clearly helped as they areoff to a 3-0 (1-0 WCC) start this fall.

Right from the beginning,Hutchinson (1-1, 1-1 WCC) was play-ing catch-up after the White Hawkstook first place in the 200-yard med-ley relay.

Hutch and the White Hawks sharedan equal number of first-place finish-

es, but the ’Sharks only scored fivesecond-place events and threefourth-place events.

After falling behind in the firstevent, Hutch tied the score at 31 fol-lowing the 50-yard freestyle, whichwas won by Haley Cassens.

Cassens won two events. OtherHutch first-place finishers wereMegan Bateman in the 200-yard indi-vidual medley, Danielle Ross in the100-yard backstroke, Erin Hawker inthe 100-yard breaststroke, and the200-yard freestyle relay team of Hawk-er, Casie Carlson, Papke and Cassens.

One goal from Vincent Sanchez’s was all the Tigersneeded in the home opener with Glencoe-Silver Lake

After dropping its last twomatches, Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart (2-2, 1-0) ended its los-ing skid, Thursday, at home,defeating Minnesota ValleyLutheran 25-14, 25-20, 21-25,25-11 in the Mustangs’ firstTomahawk Conference.

“It (the win) feels good,”BLHS head coach Sue Alstromsaid. “We haven’t beaten MVLfor a couple of years. The firstand fourth games, we playedlike we should. We are stillyoung, but we played well.”

BLHS took control of thefirst game one early on andnever looked back cruising to a25-14 victory. But the Mus-tangs weren’t going to get tooexcited just yet. In both of theirlosses this season, the Mus-tangs won the first game of thematch, only to slip up and fin-ish the match with a loss.

The fans might have beenholding their breath facing a16-12 deficit in game two, butBLHS’s Hannah VanderVoortwasn’t worried. “I think we hadit this game” she said. “Wewere together. We workedtogether very well and talkedto each other a lot better thanwe have been. We calm eachother down and got it done.”

The Mustangs stormed backwith a 13-4 run to finish gametwo ahead, 25-20.

The third game started outas a back-and-forth battlebefore the Chargers extendedtheir 15-14 lead to 23-14.

BLHS fought back though,but fell just short ending gamethree with a 25-21 loss.

During the Mustangs surge

at the end of game three, onething was noticeable. TheChargers were sending a lot offree balls to the Mustangs sideof the net, allowing them to setup the offense. This carriedover into the fourth game.

“Anytime they give you afree ball, you can actually try torun an offense rather thanhaving a pinball game goingon out there,” Alstrom said.“We were able to make thingshappen as a result.”

The Mustangs fell behind 1-0 to start the last game, butlead the rest of the way and

finished big by scoring thefinal eight points en route to a25-11 win.

“I thought we played The Mustangs were able to

spread the ball around againstthe Chargers as well as try dif-ferent combinations of playersby rotating in the bench.

”I though we played reallywell,” BLHS’s Mikayla Paulsonsaid. “We had some great pass-es, great sets and some greatkills from everybody, it wasn’tjust one person tonight. That’salways good and we came outon top.”

“There was a gap in betweenthe wall, so I aimed for the leftcorner,” Cohrs said.

That goal gave GSL a 1-0start at haltime, but Panthersknew they couldn’t sit back.

“I told the girls at halftimethat ‘It’s 0-0, and we need agoal to win,’” he said. “Theypushed it up and we kept thepressure on . . . For a long timewe controlled that second half,and it was great.”

The Tigers tried to battleback, but it was an uphill bat-tle as the offense struggled toget shots on goal, managingonly five in the game.

“Both halves were playedmostly on our end of the field,”Jacobsen said. “we need towork at transition, and havingour midfielders get the ball toour forwards. We have thescoring power, but it’s aboutour transition from getting outof defense, and from midfieldto our forwards. We need tocontrol those passes.”

In the 21st minute of thesecond half, Cohrs scored hersecond goal of the day to givethe Panthers some breathingroom, and then Kenzie Boozi-kee, in the 27th minute, putthe finishing touches on GSL’swin.

White Hawks shut outTigers, 3-0

The Tigers’ week started

Tuesday, the first day of school,with a 3-0 loss in Mound-Westonka.

Hutchinson had only sevenshots on goal to answer 23shots from Mound-Westonka,and goalie Emily Olinger

couldn’t stop them all.Hutch fell behind 1-0 in the

first half, and let two morescore in the second, but itwouldn’t have mattered withno offense to reply.

At the time this was the

Tigers’ fifth straight loss, andsecond shutout.

The Tigersharks were tiedagain at 47, after the 100-yardbutterfly, and at 86 after the100-yard breastroke. MW/HFheld leads the entire rest of themeet, never letting Hutch go uponce.

Two of the biggest events forthe White Hawks were the 200-and 500-yard relay, in whichthey scored a total of 24 points.The White Hawks took first,third and fourth in the 200, andswept the top three spots of the500 to take a 12-point lead.

Hutch gradualy made its wayback, but with one event leftand the score tied, it all camedown to the 400-yard medleyrelay.

The ’Sharks’ fastest team ofCaitlin Papke, Abby Reiner,Casie Carlson and HaleyCassens finished with a time of3:49.30, but it was still morethan two seconds slower thanthe White Hawks. Hutch tooksecond and third, but still fellshort.

In the end, the loss was a dis-appointment, and nobody likesbeing the team that breaks along winning streak. But, Fair-banks knows the dual meetsdon’t mean as much, and it’s allabout being ready for the endof the season.

“We always say dual meetsare practice to get us ready forthe end of the season,” Fair-banks said. “This is how theyfind out if they are mentalytough, or not. Are they willingto do little extra things to bebetter.”

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012

By KAY JOHNSONjohnson@hutchinsonleader

The visual and performing artsare well represented in Hutchinson.What was missing, in the opinionof Careen Pierson, was an organiza-tion for fiber and fabric artists.

In April, she started one. “I felt there was a need for it and

people were interested in it,” Pier-son said.

Known as the Hutchinson Fiberand Fabric Guild, the new organiza-tion has 35 members and meets thesecond Thursday of the month at theHutchinson Center for the Arts.

Pierson serves as president of theboard with Dana Cox, vice presi-dent, Diane Anderson, secretaryand Ruth Kinkade, treasurer. Mem-bers at large are Nancy McGraw,Diane Baumann, Jan Urban andSandy Lennes

Launching a new arts group isn’tnew for Pierson. She founded thefiber and fabric guild in Fairmontabout 30 years ago.

“We have interests in manyareas,” she said, “knitting, crochet-ing, dying and felting yarn, spin-ning, quilting and sewing.”

The group participated in thefirst fabric arts show at theHutchinson Center for the Arts, aswell as hosted a recycled garment

fashion show and boutique at theGarlic Festival.

On Thursday, the group’s Sep-tember meeting will take place atRuth Kinkade’s farm, The Abbey,near Silver Lake.

KInkade plans to introduce thegroup to her 18 alpacas as well asshow all the products that can bemade from alpacas.

“There will be a demonstration,”she said, “how to clean, card andspin alpaca into yarn.”

Kinkade moved to Hutchinsoneight years ago.

“I lived in Minneapolis all mylife,” she said. “All I ever wanted wasa farm. I intended to raise goatsand do goat cheese.”

Kinkade expected that to be hercottage industry, but thingschanged when she met her firstalpaca.

“They are absolutely adorablecreatures,” she said. “They shouldcome with a warning because theywill steal your heart.”


Do you sing in the car?

Sing in the shower?Did you sing in

high school or col-lege?

If you answered “yes” to any ofthese questions, Crow RiverSingers wants you.

The Hutchinson-area communi-ty choir will begin rehearsals for itsfall season on Thursday, Sept. 13,at Peace Lutheran Church inHutchinson.

The season ends with two holi-day concerts: Friday, Nov. 30, atFirst Congregational UnitedChurch of Christ, and Sunday, Dec.2, at Peace Lutheran, both inHutchinson.

Directing the fall season will beJim Nelson. Nelson is a familiarname to Hutchinson familiesbecause he worked as the highschool choir director for 19 years.

Rehearsals will focus on themusic to be performed in concert.

“There’s some multi-culturalpieces an African one, English, aSpanish carol and a French carol,”Nelson said. “There is some lightermusic from movies — more pop-type Christmas songs, a spiritualand a classical piece. Hopefullyfeaturing more instruments.”

The Crow River Singers require

no auditions. All ages are welcomeand all parts are needed — partic-ularly tenors. Naomi Shadis isreturning as accompanist.

Vicki Swanson joined the groupabout 20 years or so when it wascalled the Hutchinson CommunityChoir.

“I got involved because I’vealways loved to sing,” she said. “Isang in high school and I wasmissing that outlet.”

Swanson wanted to be part of agroup, but with small children athome her time was limited. Thechoir became her night out.Instead of bowling or playing asport, she sang.

One of the advantages of thechoir, Swanson stressed, is thatyou don’t have to make a long-term commitment.

“If you can sing both seasonsthat’s fine,” she said. “If you canonly sing at one concert that’s fine,too.”

Swanson said she has stuck withthe community choir for the sim-ple reason that she likes to sing.

“We always sang at our house,”she said. “My dad was one of thesong leaders at church. My friendswould come over and questionwhat we were doing because wewere all singing. Music has alwaysbeen an important part of my life.”


Rehearsals for the HutchinsonTheatre Company’s fall productionof “12 Angry Men” began last weekat the new Hutchinson Center forthe Arts building.

“I was amazed and awed by thetalent of the men who audi-tioned,” said director MaureenStyle. “It was a very difficult deci-sion to cast this show. I always liketo bring in new faces whenever

possible and we are able to do thatwith this show.”

Style began working on theshow months ago. She readilyadmitted “you can plan all youwant, but nothing compares to themoment when they (the actors)first walk through the door, andyou get to see who auditions.”

“12 Angry Men” will be per-formed as a dinner theater pro-duction at Crow River Winery Nov.1-3, and Nov. 8-10. Watch theLeader for more information.

HUTCHINSON LEADER l SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 l EExxttrraa!! l 33BB

You wouldn’t steal a car, wouldyou? For a while that was the go-tolingo for the anti-piracy ads. Piracyfirst becamemainstream whenI was in collegewith Napster, amusic file sharingservice and hasbeen widespreadever since. SinceNapster, themusic and movielobbies have trieda number of dif-ferent approachesto dealing withpiracy, commer-cials have been one of their avenues.Those commercials have communi-cated in various ways, from stunt-men talking about how they will loseout on money because of piracy tothat phrase, “You wouldn’t steal a

car.”Piracy seems like a victimless

crime because the pirate isn’t actual-ly removing the item from someoneelse’s possession. It simply makes acopy of the item. A new kind ofprinter might allow you to do thesame thing with physical objects.

Most of you own a printer thatyou use to print out photos andimportant documents. These print-ers are “2D” printers. They onlyprint onto different kinds of paper.There’s another kind of printer: a“3D” printer. A 3D printer can actu-ally print physical 3D objects. 3Dprinters have been around for awhile, but they have been very

expensive. It isn’t until recently thattheir price has gone to less than$10,000 per printer.

A 3D printer works by loading afile and printing based on specifica-tions in that file. These files are creat-

ed by a number of different pro-grams. A lot of the files are availablefreely to download for anyone thathas a 3D printer. But, the more com-plex the object being printed, themore complex the file is. A complexfile can take a lot of effort and timeso people making them will probablytry to sell them for a price.

While 3D printers can print almostanything the user can think of, theydo have their limits. The size of theobject is constrained by the size ofthe printer. Most 3D printers are notthat large so the objects that can beprinted are also not that large. Also,3D printers can only print using onetype of material, usually a kind ofplastic. We can’t print out cars, yet.But we can print out some of theparts that are used in cars right now.

Even with their limitations, 3Dprinters are still useful. Jay Leno hasa video on his website, jaylenos-

garage.com, of a wrench being print-ed. Leno owns a 3D printer becausehe owns a lot of older cars that havehard-to-come-by parts. He uses the3D printer to make some of theseparts. I also recently read an articleabout researchers making arm, leg,and back braces for children with 3Dprinters. Children grow rather fast sowhen they outgrow one brace a newone can easily be printed for a verysmall cost.

I can’t wait for 3D printers tobecome cheap enough that everyonecan afford them. When that happenswe’ll really start seeing some creativeuses for them.

Holly Dapper has been a memberof Crow River Singers since 2004.

“I wanted to start singing againand get music back in my life,” shesaid. “It’s been 20 some years since Isang in a choir. I joined becausethere were no auditions and theymade you feel very welcome.”

Dapper described the communitychoir as a “great experience.”

“I gave up volleyball to do it,” shesaid. “I never went back to volleyballagain and I’ve never regretted it.”

With the first rehearsal plannedfor Thursday, Dapper is hoping theaddition of Jim Nelson as directorwill draw some new people.

“We’re looking for new members,”she said. “We really want to buildthe choir. I’m hoping with Jim Nel-son as director, it will draw somenew people. I think he’ll be an awe-some addition to the choir.”

When I was growing

up in Chicago, atthis time of year myfather used to sing alittle song: “School

days, school days, good old, good oldschool days.” I didnot know where myfather got thoselines but I went onWikipedia and dis-covered that “SchoolDays” was a popularsong written in 1907by Will Cobb andGus Edwards.

Its subject is amature man andwoman lookingback sentimentallyon their lifelongfriendship and theirdays in primaryschool. The best known part of thesong is its chorus: “Days, school days,old Golden Rule days, and ’riting and’rithmetic, to the tune of the hick’rystick. You were my queen in calico Iwas your bashful, barefoot beau, andyou wrote on my slate, ‘I Love You So,’when we were a couple o’ kids.”

Ironically I received an email froma friend that I went to school withback in the eighth grade, which was42 years ago. I had not heard fromhim in 42 years and then out of theblue I get this email and had a chanceto reconnect with him.

School days are here again! Therewill be new friends, old friends, niceteachers, scary teachers, a packedlunch or prepared lunch.

Going back to school is a day thatinevitably comes each year. Some loveit, some hate it, and some just gothrough the motions indifferently.Regardless of how it makes you feelyou have to go, so how will you makethe most of it?

Let me suggest a few things: How about assisting students with specialneeds? How about volunteering for abackground role in the school play, likerunning sound or lights? How aboutparticipating in a fundraiser for someof the school’s needs? How about vol-unteering with a club? Whatever it isyou could look for a need and serve.When someone asks you why you do it,tell them, “I am a Christian and I amtrying to follow Jesus.”

The Bible says in Mark 10, v. 42-45,Calling them to Himself, Jesus said tothem, “You know that those who arerecognized as rulers of the Gentiles lordit over them; and their great men exer-cise authority over them. But it is notthis way among you, but whoeverwishes to become great among youshall be your servant; and whoeverwishes to be first among you shall beslave of all. For even the Son of Mandid not come to be served, but to serve,and to give His life a ransom for many.”

What does a Christian look like atschool? They look like Jesus who was aservant to all. In what ways do youthink you can serve your school thisyear? I pray as Christians we can resem-ble Jesus as we head back to school.

Do yousuffer from

headaches?

Today’s electronic media is everywhere — computers,smart phones, tablets, high definition televisions, videogames put increased demands on the visual system.Constant use of these devices often leaves us with tiredeyes or headache pain. Recent research has confirmed thata contributing cause of headaches is eye misalignment,which can have serious effects on near vision. These typesof headaches often start at the front of our head and moveto the back and are often mistaken for sinus and migraineheadaches. Other possible symptoms include dry/sandyfeeling eyes with near work, night-time glare, blurrywords, and tired eyes, especially with reading.

At Regional Eye Center, we now have Opt-align VisionTesting to help determine if you have a proprioceptionimbalance (eye misalignment) that is causing yourheadaches. For the month of September, we are offering afree Opt-align vision screening with your comprehensiveeye exam to determine if you would benefit from speciallydesigned glasses that would alleviate the eye imbalanceand get rid of your headaches.

Call today to set upan appointment and ask for

the Opt-align screeningwith your eye exam.

Have you been told thatthey are caused by tension,migraines or your sinuses?Have you been given med-ication but it only dulls thepain or doesn’t help at all?

CARLTON, Minnesota (AP) — AMinnesota casino has cooked up aworld-record bacon cheeseburger

The behemoth burger was servedup Sunday at the Black Bear CasinoResort near Carlton. It tipped thescales at 2,014 pounds (914 kilo-

grams).Guinness Records representative

Philip Robertson verified the recordfor biggest burger. He called the feat aresult of “remarkable teamwork” andsaid the burger “actually tastes really

good.”A Duluth News Tribune report says

the previous mark was a mere 881pounds (400 kilograms).

The burger included 60 pounds ofbacon, 50 pounds of lettuce, 50

pounds of sliced onions, 40 pounds ofpickles and 40 pounds of cheese.

It took about four hours to cook thepatty. A crane was used to flip it.

No luau would be completewithout it. But this specialsomething isn’t the huladancers, the fruity drinks or

the fire jugglers. Instead, themost important ingredient fora proper Hawaiian feast is asucculent, falling-apart tender,smoked dish called Kalua Pig.

The tradition of luaus andKalua Pig goes back centuries.Originally, the dish was servedto kings and other high-rank-ing men at celebrations;women, even queens, were notallowed to eat pork until 1819when the system of kapus (ortaboos) was abolished.

“As I understand it, the tra-dition of Kalua Pig is 5,000years old,” says Shirley Fong,author and chef featured onin-flight videos for HawaiianAirlines.“It’s part and parcel ofthe luau, which traditionally

were celebrations thrown forlife’s special occasions.”

To make an authentic KaluaPig, a whole pig is seasonedwith salt, filled with heatedlava stones, then wrapped inbanana, ti or taro leaves andfinally cooked in an under-ground oven for several hours.“In Hawaiian, ‘ka lua’ refers tocooking in a pit or an imu,”Fong explains.

Rather than digging a pit inyour backyard, Fong suggestscooking the pork in a smoker,using pure lump charcoal froma barbecue supply store. Thepork, she says, should becooked in indirect heat, and ifti or taro leaves aren’t handy,damp grass trimmings can be

used. But if a meat smokerisn’t handy, you can also makean oven-roasted version ofkalua pork using aluminum foiland liquid smoke.

Kalua PorkThis recipe makes great left-overs because the fat in theroast keeps the meat tenderand moist. Don’t use a loin ortenderloin. They are leaner butdrier, too.

4-pound pork roast

2 tablespoons sea or kosher salt

2 tablespoons liquid smoke

1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Rub salt, liquid smoke andseasonings over pork roast.Wrap securely in aluminumfoil. Roast about 3 hours oruntil very tender.

3. Remove from heat, let standabout 15 minutes. Shred,removing slabs of fat, andserve. Serves 8.Per serving: 350 calories, 16g fat,50g prot., 0g carbs., 0g fiber,2180mg sodium
