Home computers may seem as common as thefamily television and refrigerator. But for some fam-ilies, the high cost of technology can keep them fromlinking to the cyber world.

Thanks to a Minnesota-based organization withoffices in St. Paul, Mankato and Willmar, low-income families across the state are connecting tothe Internet.

PCs for People, which was formed in 1998 by BlueEarth County social worker Andy Elofson arrangingthe donation of a computer to a computerless teen,made a distribution stop at Hutchinson’s PeaceLutheran Church on Friday.

“In high school, I knew I wanted to dosomething in the field of health care orpsychology,” she said. “Once I was in col-lege I was able to develop my strengthsand interests … I found that I had a lot ofgifts in the counseling field: empathy,good listening skills and building rapportwith others quickly.”

Hutchinson Public Schools reachedcontract settlements with its threeemployee unions Monday night, withDistrict 423 School Board Member ByronBettenhausen casting the lone dissentingvotes.

The School Board voted to approvecontracts with teachers, custodians andsupport staff. The board also approvedindividual contracts for eight employeesnot represented by the unions.

All votes were unanimous except forthose on two two-year contracts withteachers union Education Hutchinson.Bettenhausen opposed those contracts inpart because he feared that in six monthsto a year, the cost of the compensationincreases could require the district tomake staff cuts.

Effective July 1, 2011, the first of thetwo-year contracts would have a totalcompensation package increase of 2.84percent in the first year and 2.51 percentin the second year.

The second contract would have a totalcompensation package increase of 2.37percent in the first year and 2.07 percentin the second year.

It was a very warm weekendacross the state. On Saturdaytemperatures climbed into theupper 80s and low to mid 90s.Like many, I was at a weddingfor a family friend as Mark andRita Vanderwerf's daughterMolly got married at the Lake-side Ballroom in Glenwood.Many of you may rememberMark from his days on TV atKSAX-TV. It was a hot day, butlike many of you who had wed-ding or graduation parties, it stillwas a great day to be amongfamily and friends. Thank good-ness for air conditioning!

Storms pushed across Minnesota on Sundayafter the heat on Saturday. A cold front was thefocus of those storms. A severe thunderstormwatch was posted for much of the region for Sun-

day afternoon and Sunday evening. Strong windwas the main threat from those storms as windsin excess of 60 mph were found near Brainerd toOlivia on Sunday. The Twin Cities area had manyreports of wind damage as well. On the backsideof that front, much cooler weather settled in onMonday.

We got a break from the storms for much ofMonday and Tuesday before another system willarrive on Wednesday.

Another big weekend is coming up withFather's Day upon us on Sunday. It looks like onceagain we will have a chance of showers and thun-derstorms. I know my family is getting together inSpicer and we have a facility rented just in casethe weather doesn't cooperate to do any outdoorgrilling along with spending time on the water.This time of the year all of us have to have some“contingency plans!”

I hope all the area dads, including my own,Cliff in Willmar, has a great day on Father's Day!

For students in PattyKaminsky’s fifth-gradehomeroom, victory in thisyear’s Park Elementary Sci-ence and Knowledge

bowls tasted sweeter than C6H12O6.(That’s the chemical formula for

sugar, in case it’s been a while sinceyou’ve cracked open a chemistrytextbook.)

Kaminsky’s class took back-to-back wins in the June 1 Science Bowland June 6 Knowledge Bowl. BrianTillmann’s homeroom won the June5 Knowledge Bowl.

The hardest part of the competi-tion, said Kaminsky’s student AbbyStarke, was “when we had to answerquestions. We felt like we were underpressure.”

“Sweating under the lights,” addedWyatt Thomas.

Tillmann’s student Cassie Jurgen-son said the most challenging partwas “trying to listen to your team-mates and being on stage and thepressure of all the people.”

“And everybody’s staring right atyou and if you have to pass, you’relike ‘Darn it,’” added Ally Peterson.

Despite feeling the weight of alleyes on them, the contestants knewthe audience was friendly. Each dayof competition found the Park Ele-

mentary auditorium filled with class-mates, staff and family.

Finding the courage to get onstage and succeed yielded greatrewards. Tillmann’s studentCheyenne Root said winning thegame was the best part of the Knowl-edge Bowl.

“It feels good,” said Kaminsky’sstudent Addyson Struck. “Like we’repretty smart.”

“Like we’re the boss of the school,”Brittany Urban added.

Motorists traveling on State High-way 22 between Hutchinson andGlencoe early Monday afternoon mayhave seen one of the most unusualtruck loads they’ve ever come across.

Making its way slowly northwestfrom Glencoe to Hutchinson was ared semi-tractor lettered for Vic’sCrane and Heavy Haul, a Rosemountcompany. Trailing behind was aflatbed trailer with 20 axles with eighttires per axle. Atop the trailer was alarge garage-sized piece of equipmentcovered by an enormous blue tarp.

The truck’s destination wasHutchinson Utilities Commission’soriginal downtown power plant.Under the tarp was its new 143-tonengine and generator built by Wartsilain Vaassa, Finland, and shipped inApril. The equipment arrived in Hous-ton May 15 by ship, came north toMinneapolis by rail, and then waspulled by Twin Cities & Western rail-road to a rail siding in Glencoe Satur-day, where Vic’s Crane took over.

The 9.3 megawatt, natural gas-firedengine and generator is the first ofthree that will be installed in Utilities’plant next to the Main Street bridgeand the Crow River, electricity pro-duction manager Randy Blake said.

Blake, a 33-year veteran of the city-

owned utility, said the engine, dubbedUnit No. 5, replaces three World WarII-era engines that were removedmore than a year ago that totaled 8megawatts. A second, identical unit,No. 6, is scheduled to be installed in2014, with a third, Unit No. 7, follow-ing at some point in the future.

The base cost for the new unit was$8.5 million, which Utilities paid incash with money set aside for several

years in anticipation of the ungrade.It features the ability to be up and

running at full electrical load in justfive minutes after start-up. That willhelp Utilities when it comes to sellingelectrical power into the market,Blake said. That makes it faster thanthe usual 20 minutes for the olderunits utilities has, and the 30 minutesto 40 minutes it takes to fire up thenewest gas-turbines.


Last month, the Hutchinson CityCouncil talked about the increasingnumber of complaints members arefielding from residents aboutunkempt neighboring properties. Atthe time, council members directedstaff to look at enforcement options.

Last night, the council refined itsdirective to ask staff to look moreclosely at what could be done to createa code enforcement officer position

within existing staffing levels. Untilnow, the city has enforced its nuisancelaws mainly upon receiving com-plaints.

Mayor Steve Cook suggested the citycould create a new position withoutadding staff that would have authorityto deal directly with the public onissues that come up. The required

hours could possibly be carved out ofstaff hours elsewhere.

Since the issue surfaced last month,city directors have met amongst them-selves, City Administrator JeremyCarter said. They looked at ways to bemore proactive while still retainingflexibility to deal with cases on an indi-vidual basis.

Noise complaints often happen atnight and are handled by police. Issuesof cluttered or unkempt property areoften fielded by the Building Depart-ment. Thus, the city would likely haveto give some consideration to whatcomplaints a code enforcement officerwould respond too, Carter said. Also,the position would likely require morethan just a few hours a week, he said.

“We are concerned about the moreobvious things, not every little thing,”Cook said. The council is looking forcompliance, but in a fair manner and

taking individual factors into consid-eration, he added.

Cook and Council Member MaryChristensen wondered if the BuildingDepartment could take on moreduties with building activity down.

“Our inspections are up,“ Planningand Zoning Director Dan Jochum said.”I’m not so sure there is a lot of timeavailable with inspections and planreview.”

Carter said it might require takinghours from several areas to accommo-date a code enforcement position.

To qualify, the families had to have ahousehold income no greater than 150percent of the federal poverty level,include someone with a disability orbe working with a social worker.

Typically, Hutchinson Public Schoolsand its employee unions agree on a sin-gle two-year contract at a time. Betten-hausen said negotiating two consecutivecontracts would bring welcome certaintyto both teachers and the district.

“I was a big proponent of the four-year deal,” he said, “but not at this per-centage that we agreed to.”

Bettenhausen said he was also con-cerned that not all teachers wouldreceive the same increase, dependingon how many years of experience oreducation credits they had. At thebeginning of the School Board meeting,teacher Dan Brinkman said teachers atthe top of the experience and educationscale will “go backwards the first year”due to health insurance costs.

Meanwhile, Bettenhausen said, someteachers could see 6- to 7-percentincreases after their salary step and laneadjustments are factored in.

Board Chair Keith Kamrath said thecontract figures represented a fair com-promise between the district’s and Edu-cation Hutchinson’s positions and thatdistrict residents and staff need to be“on notice” of potential future cuts.

“I know the process was lengthy andtrying for both sides,” said School BoardMember Don Martinez. “It is a numberI believe we can make work.”

Speaking after the board meeting,Superintendent Daron VanderHeidensaid teachers voted to approve theagreement June 8. The then-tentativedeal was reached between district andEducation Hutchinson negotiators onMay 29. Both sides had been scheduledto go into mediation June 19.

Ten other contracts settledIn addition to teachers’ contracts, the

District 423 School Board approved thefollowing collective and individual two-year contracts.

Morrow was selected by a staffrecognition committee consistingof teachers and administrators.

She described the honor as “agreat surprise, a wonderful sur-prise.”

Beginning this fall, the REACHprogram at Hutchinson HighSchool will enter its fifth year.Morrow is a member of the teamof educators and support staffwho are there every day for stu-dents that need academic, socialor educational support — andtheir families.

Morrow — a St. Bonifaciusnative — started with the districtsix years ago as a special educa-tion paraprofessional at Park Ele-mentary School. This marked herreturn to working after severalyears as a stay-at-home mom anda career working in mental andchemical health in the Twin Cities.

When her youngest daughter,now 13, was in second-grade,Morrow said she was ready to

head back to the professionalworld. Morrow recalled that herhusband, Monty, suggested, “Whydon’t you go work for the schooldistrict? You’re there all the timeanyways helping out.”

Morrow divides her timebetween the school and workingon public health education initia-tives including the Methampheta-mine Education and Drug Aware-ness Coalition of McLeod Countyand Zero Adult Providers.

She said the thing that’s mostrewarding about working in theREACH program is when she seesa student change an unhealthypattern to achieve success.

Health and human services, K-12education and public safety are gen-erally agreed to as being priorityexpenditures within our state budg-et. Throughout my years in the Leg-islature, my colleagues on the otherside of the political aisle would oftenquote a famous statement by the lateVice President Hubert Humphreywhen debating what was the appro-priate amount to spend on Healthand Human Services: “The moraltest of government is how that gov-ernment treats those who are in thedawn of life, the children; those whoare in the twilight of life, the elderly;and those who are in the shadows oflife, the sick, the needy and thehandicapped.”

While no dollar amounts are spec-ified, state spending on K-12 educa-tion is identified in the state Consti-tution as a key expenditure for stategovernment. Since the founding ofour country, there has been little dis-agreement that government has arole in the protection of its citizens.

What you will not find in the Con-stitution is the mention of publicentertainment. Since when did pay-ing for the entertainment of our citi-zens become a priority of state gov-ernment?

The role of government is shapingup to be a key issue for the 2012 fed-eral elections, but a discussion is cer-tainly needed at the state level regard-ing how much in taxpayer’s dollarsshould be spent in subsidizing itemswhich are generally considered to be“nice” but not necessities and how isthe spending prioritized to ensurebasic needs are funded.

This year was the grand example,

of course, with the authorization tobuild “the people’s stadium,” a new$1 billion stadium for the Vikings.The new stadium is to be paid forout of tax revenues generated fromwhat is hoped to be increaseddemand for the untested electronicpull-tabs. What happens if (andmore likely when) the new revenuesfall short of the dollars needed? Well,most likely more subsidizing ofentertainment through a supple-mental revenue source, taxing some-thing else, or cutting other govern-ment services to spend more onentertainment.

We have become addicted to hav-ing someone else (the taxpayers) payfor our entertainment, rather thanhaving the users of the entertain-ment bear the cost. The Vikings sta-dium is merely the most recent andwell publicized example. Just thinkof all the public expenditures wehave made to subsidize our enter-tainment, some of which are non-profit organizations while others areprivately owned for-profit business-es. When you combine the tax dol-lars used to pay the bonds on theMetrodome, Target Center, XcelEnergy Center, TCF Bank Stadiumand Target Field, Minnesota taxpay-ers funded $785.5 million for thesestadiums and that does not includethe operational costs. Now add tothe list the St. Paul Saints want taxdollars for their new digs. And wecan’t forget all the municipal golfcourses, let alone softball fields andbasketball courts.

But in Minnesota, it’s not justsports that get public dollars. Wesubsidize cultural institutions forentertainment purposes, as well.According to an article published inthe New York Times on May 1, Min-

nesota spends more tax dollars percapita on the arts than New Yorkstate or the federal government.Some of the taxpayer-subsidizedentertainment venues include: TheGuthrie Theater, Ordway Center,Orchestra Hall, and of course, multi-ple museums and zoos. Just this pastsession, state legislators allocated $4million to the Minnesota Zoo withthe understanding that the moneywould be used to repair the dolphintank only to find out the zoo hasdecided to close the dolphin exhibitaltogether. Will the $4 million bereturned to the taxpayers? No. WillMinnesotans have the opportunityto vote on keeping the dolphin tank?No.

Of course, these activities are funand enjoyed by many Minnesota res-idents. But are they the responsibili-ties of state government to fund?What are the activities we want gov-ernment to support? Are we subsi-dizing one form of entertainment atthe expense of their competitors?Would society be better off if we justgave people an entertainmentvoucher and said, “Here, go spendthe money on what you enjoy.” Abasic rule of economics, you getmore of what you subsidize and getless of what you tax. As long as pro-fessional sports are subsidized by thetaxpayers, salaries of professionalathletes will continue to escalate.

Next year the state is likely to faceyet another $1 billion shortfall. Asklegislative candidates this summer ifthey will fund only the basic needs ofstate government rather than theextras and allow individuals to maketheir own entertainment preferencesknown by where they spend theirown money. If they do this, we mightbe able to avoid one more deficit.

8AWEDNESDAY,JUNE 13, 2012HUTCHINSON LEADER

Those of us who work atthe Leader receive manyquestions when we’re outin the community. Peo-ple want to know why we

do certain things a certain way. We’re glad they ask. If they didn’t,

we’d start wondering if they werereading.

Here are a few questions we’verecently answered:

How do you like your new offices?We love them. Everything is new

and there’s more sunlight becausewe have more windows. Sharing thesame building with Crow River Presshas been beneficial in ways that wehadn’t even imagined. And while thenew location isn’t as convenient forus as our downtown location, wehaven’t seen any drop-off in busi-ness coming through our front door.It’s good to know the change hasn’tbeen a problem for our customers.

Why did you publish that storyabout the harassment allegationsagainst the McLeod County Republi-can Party chairman? Don’t you thinkthat’s a private matter?

Yes, we think it’s a private matter— and a public matter. The allega-tions were serious enough that theyrequired a court’s involvement,which makes it a public matter.They’re especially a public matterbecause they involve the leader of apolitical party that selects the peoplewe elect to represent us in govern-ment. And when two of the party’sexecutive committee membersresigned over the allegations, thatmade it even more newsworthy.

Do you agree with all the commen-taries published on this page?

No. If you regularly read our edito-rials, you know we’re fairly moderatein our views. Yet we sometimes pub-lish commentaries that are a bitmore extreme, ranging from conser-vative Phil Krinkie of the TaxpayersLeague of Minnesota to the left-leaning OtherWords columnists.These commentaries are publishedwhen we don’t have enough lettersfrom local readers to fill this page.They’re selected based on subjectmatter and timeliness. Often, theychallenge conventional, popularviews. They keep the dialogue onthis page healthy and vibrant. Thelast thing that our readers want is aboring opinion page that merelyreflects their own views. Some peo-ple think that “stirring the pot” is abad thing. We believe it’s good. Showus an opinion page that doesn’t stirthe pot and we’ll show you a pagethat doesn’t get read.

Who writes your editorials?They’re written by both of us. We

sit down before writing each editori-al and discuss what they will con-tain. Sometimes we’ll ask membersof our newsroom staff to provide uswith background information thatsupports our arguments.

Last week you wrote an editorialencouraging parents to send theirchildren to that new weekday lunchprogram in Hutchinson, and in anoth-er editorial you wrote that parentsshould eat with their kids at leastone meal a week. Were you serious?

You bet we were. We don’t live inthe 1960s anymore. Moms work out-side the home and families are busy.In today’s world, many families don’teven sit down for one meal a week.We think once a week should be astarting point for those families. Andwe hope they can eat together moreoften. And as far as the lunch pro-gram is concerned, it’s sad to knowthat many families either don’t havethe means or understand the impor-tance of providing a well-balancedmeal to their children at least once a

day. The program sponsored byHunger Free McLeod does that.

Sometimes in your news storiesand in The Public Record, you namesuspects allegedly involved in crimes,and sometimes you don’t. How come?Also, if the suspects are children ofbusiness or government leaders, willyou keep their names out of thepaper?

To answer your first question, werarely, if ever, name a suspect whohasn’t been charged. That might beone reason why you haven’t seen thenames of all suspects in the paper.

Often, these cases involve under-age drinking by someone age 18 to20. We will publish the name of thesuspect if he or she has beencharged and the police give us theirnames. This usually happens whenthe alleged infraction is a first-timeoffense.

If it’s a repeat offense, however,police often send the case to the cityattorney for more serious charges,which prevents us from naming thesuspect until we receive thosecharges.

To answer your second questionabout withholding the names ofunderaged suspects because they’rethe children of local business or gov-ernment leaders, we can assure youthat doesn’t happen. In fact, someparents have expressed their angertoward us after we have publishedtheir sons’ and daughters’ namesafter they were cited by police after adrinking party. We think society gen-erally views those age 18 or older asadults, and they need to be heldaccountable, like the rest of us.

Why will the Leader cover anannual public event with a featurestory and multiple photos one year,followed by significantly less cover-age the following year? Isn’t thatinconsistent?

We do that on purpose. One rea-son is because many events are fair-ly routine, but every once in a while,we think our readers should knowmore about them so we’ll elevate thecoverage. We won’t do that everyyear because it would be telling thesame story over and over — and wehave to allocate our resources wiselyto cover non-routine stories. It’s real-ly a matter of spreading our cover-age around. We call it “varying thetempo.”

Are there any questions you folksat the newspaper would like to askus in the community?

There sure are. And they are muchless serious than the ones you askus. For example, why does WallyPikal get his own Wikipedia page,but high-tech giant HutchinsonTechnology Inc. doesn’t? DoesMartha Stewart know there is aMartha Street in Stewart? Why doesHutchinson have one car wash stallfor every 800 cars, compared to thestatewide average that seems to beone for every 8,000 cars? Is it pre-sumptuous for EconoFoods to sellOur Family brand pregnancy testkits?

If you have the answers to thesequestions, consider sharing themwith us. We promise to share themwith our readers.

Cheers to the city of Hutchinsonfor helping our students celebrateArbor Day. They enjoyed being out-side learning how to identify differ-ent types of trees and having the

opportunity to plant a tree. They willenjoy seeing the tree they helpedplant for many years to come!

St. Cloud Times, June 5

While it might not be on the scaleof passing a plan that unites a legis-lature, governor, city and footballteam behind building a stadium,there is yet another important devel-opment looming this month for the$975 million Vikings stadium proj-ect.

As The Associated Press reportedMay 27, five people will be appoint-ed to lead the Minnesota SportsFacilities Authority. This group —three picked by Dayton and twopicked by Minneapolis Mayor R.T.

Rybak — essentially becomes thepublic body charged with makingsure Minnesotans get a good returnon their almost half-billion-dollarinvestment.

While not headline-grabbing incomparison to last-minute politicaldeals or game-winning touchdownpasses, the importance of thisauthority’s job cannot be over-looked. It determines everythingfrom who takes the lead on the proj-ect to how to bring together multiplepublic and private entities so theycan work together on challengessuch as architecture, land acquisi-

tion, utilities and transportation —just to name a few.

It’s a big job, which is why the ball-park authority includes a profession-al staff and annual operating budgetof more than $2 million.

Considering that $498 million inpublic money will go into buildingthe stadium, it makes sense to havethis kind of authority overseeingsuch a large project. Minnesotansshould look forward not just tolearning who is on the authority, butfollowing their efforts as the stadiumgoes from a plan to reality.

New Century dominates MontiQuois in third-place gameSPARTANS LACROSSE


The seven track and field athletesrepresenting Hutchinson in the ClassAA state tournament, Friday and Sat-urday at Hamline University in St.Paul, had ambitious goals heading totheir first state meet ever.

The Tiger boys’ two relays and twoindividuals all had state medals ontheir minds, and Hutch’s lone girlqualifier was aiming to finish hercareer with a personal best.

All seven were coming off their bestperformances of the year in the Sec-tion 2AA championship a weekbefore, but the state tournament is adifferent kind of meet.

For many athletes, especially thosewho have not been to state before, thesection meet is the one they preparefor the most. Once they reach thestate tournament, though, they lose alittle of that edge they had in sections.

That is what happened to theTigers, unfortunately, as they missedthe finals in all five events.

Not only did they miss the finals,though, but they all regressed fromtheir seed times and throws.

“You are running on adrenaline atthe section meet, and we were reallypumped up,” boys head coach LenLasley said. “It is a different atmos-phere at state, and I’ve seen it manytimes where they run their best timeat sections, and then come down hereand you don’t have your best day.”

The Tiger who came closest toearning a medal was senior discusthrower Jalen Johnson. After winningthe section title with a throw of 150-11, he finished 14th at state with athrow of 149-01 and was 3-feet shy of

ninth place.The Tigers also struggled on the

track.Hutch’s other section champion

was the 4x200-meter relay team ofRobbie Grimsley, Chase Renville,Grant Bordson and Shaun Schindler.Their time at sections was 1:30.87, butthey finished state 17th, last place,with a time of 1:32.94.

The 4x100-meter relay team —with Grimsley, Jordan Yira, Bordsonand Schindler — was also slower thanits section time of 43.91. The Tigersfinished state in 44.48 for 18th place,second to last.

Grimsley also competed alone inthe 100-meter dash and finished 20thoverall, sixth in his heat. His statetime of 11.29 was seven-tenths of asecond slower than sections, but hewould have had to run much faster toreach finals, because all nine finalistswere under 11 seconds.

Finally, senior Kayla Petersen rep-resented the Tiger girls in the shot putand ended her career with a 16th-place finish at state. Her scetionthrow of 118-08 seeded her 17th, butshe improved one place with her statetoss of 112-02. The ninth-place prelimthrow was 133-08.

Even though it wasn’t the best meetfor Hutch’s athletes, there were stillsome positives for the Tigers. Withfour of the five relay runners alsoreturning next year, the biggest posi-tive, according to Lasley, was theexperience.

“I think they were nervous, and notbeing down here before that had a lotto do with it,” Lasley said aboutHutch’s performance. “Now they havesome experience, and four of themwill be back next year. I think it was a

big eye-opener for them, and a goodexperience.”

GSL 4x400 wins gold medalGlencoe-Silver Lake’s 4x400-meter

relay team won it all Saturday in theClass A state track and field tourna-ment at Hamline.

The Panthers’ team consisted ofthree seniors — Dylan Jenkins, MitchThompson and Mitchel Sanchez —and junior Greg Ober.

GSL went into Friday with a seedtime of 3:27.98 and finished the pre-lims a bit slower at 3:28.70.

That time was still good enough to

get them the No. 1 seed in the finals,where they turned things up a notchto finish in 3:24.85 for the top spot onthe podium.

GSL’s other track competitor wassenior Jacob Burr in the 3,200-meterrun. He entered with a seed time of9:58.79, but finished state with a timeof 10:00.72 to take 10th and missearning a medal by 2.52 seconds.

On the field the Panthers had twostate entrants. For the boys, Sanchezcompeted in the high jump and fin-ished with a jump of 6-00, one inch

Registrationstill open forGreenwayfootball camp

SPORTS BRIEFS


There is less than a month until the2012 Day to REACH Football Campwith Chad Greenway comes toHutchinson, but registration is stillopen for kids grades fourth throughninth (according to the 2012-2013year).

The camp is a two-day event fromFriday, July 6 to Saturday, July 7 andwill teach campers everything fromthe fundamentals to team-buildingskills, according to one of the campsmain organizers, Chad Harlander.

“On the first day we’ll split up thegroups and have the young kids focuson football fundamentals and posi-tions,” he said. “The other group willbe focusing on character and teambuilding. We’ll also have the strengthand conditioning training, and speedand agility.”

Of course the biggest draw for thecamp, and the reason why kids from asfar as South Dakota are participating,is to get the chance to hear from pro-fessional athletes.

Along with Minnesota Viking ChadGreenway, who is helping run thecamp through his Lead the Way Foun-dation, Vikings John Carlson and JohnSullivan will also be helping out on thefirst day of camp.

“The most important thing is thatthese kids have an opportunity tocome spend some time with qualityathlets, and quality people,” Harlan-der said. “These athletes will tell youthat being an athlete is fun and great,but it comes down to how hard youwork at it, and setting goals.”

This year’s camp will also have alocal feel as Hutchinson Tigers fromthe past and present will also be help-ing out with the camp.

Former Tigers Jacob Brusehaver andMichael Hantge will be there, alongwith 2011 Tigers Josh Piepmeier,Shaun Schindler, Evan Metag, MitchPetersen and McKinley Anderson.

Registration will be open up to theday of the camp, and although Harlan-der is asking people to register inadvance, they will also be exceptingregistrations the day of the camp.

The cost to register is $50, andincludes lunch and a shirt forcampers. Check-in times for the campare 9 a.m. on Friday and 9:30 a.m. onSaturday, and will sessions will gofrom 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. both days.

The Lakers entered Sunday’sgame at Veterans MemorialField with a perfect leaguerecord, and the Huskies (6-2NSL, 8-4 overall) were comingoff a tough loss to Cokato.

The bats sounded off forHutchinson, especially forsluggers Tim Thode, MikeMarquardt and Chris Runke,who each hit home runs andbatted in three or more runs.

The Huskies went up earlywith four runs in the firstinning, but the Lakers gradual-ly crawled back as they scoredsix runs off Hutch startingpitcher Justin Erkenbrack over

six innings.Erkenbrack was relieved by

Jim Rogers in the sixth, whoheld the Lakers scoreless therest of the game and got thewin after Hutch rallied for sixruns in the bottom of the sixth.

The Huskies are now onegame out of first place in theNSL West standings.

Gathering early Sunday morn-ing on the Luce Line StateTrail in Hutchinson, 41 peo-ple heard a short talk from aHeart of Minnesota Animal

Shelter volunteer on the organization’swork.

Then, as soon as a dog wearing an“Adopt Me” scarf scurried off the trail, theassembly set off running — with a fewpeople walking — to raise money for theshelter.

The event was the second annualHutchinson Community 5K Fun Runsponsored by Maplewood Academy andthe Minnesota Conference of Seventh-dayAdventists. Proceeds were donated to theanimal shelter, “as a way to say thank youto the community for helping host manyof the Camp Meeting guests,” said LauraCummings of Maplewood’s developmentoffice.

Maplewood’s annual weeklong CampMeeting, which attracts more than 1,000

people to the school’s Hutchinson cam-pus, continues through Saturday.

In addition to raising money for Heartof Minnesota, the 5K run promoteshealthy living and a chance for out-of-town visitors and Hutchinson-area resi-dents to come together for an outreachmission, according to Cummings.

The event’s fastest runner was TobyImler, who completed the 5K in 16 min-utes flat.

In the creation of art, just aboutanything goes.

Come Saturday, the HutchinsonCenter for the Arts is offering aunique opportu-nity — Gyotaku— better knownas Japanese fishprinting.

In this case,the artist — youor me, forinstance — usesa real fish — yes,you heard me —to create animage.

Forget aboutbrushes orpalette knives, the fish is your tool.Acrylic paint is applied with a foam

SUBMITTED PHOTO

JAN JOHNSON HELPED her granddaughter, Mallory Johnson, paint witha real fish during the Gyotaku class last year at the Hutchinson Center forthe Arts. “What an experience,”Jan said.

REV YOUR ENGINES!Australia’s sweetheart, Olivia

Newton-John, starred in the1980 film, “Xanadu.” Althoughthe soundtrack was popular,the movie barely broke even.

Fast forward almost 30years. Thestory wasdusted offand trans-formedinto aBroadwaymusical —earning theOuter Crit-ics Circleaward for“Outstand-ing NewMusical.”

It’s this show that is appear-ing for a limited engagementon the Main Stage at Chanhas-sen Dinner Theater.

The story begins as Kira(Jodi Carmeli), a beautiful,magical Greek muse, is sent toEarth from the heavens of Mt.Olympus. Her quest takes herto Venice Beach, Calif., toinspire a young artist (DieterBierbrauer) to achieve hisgreatest dream — to build thefirst roller disco. But when Kirafalls into forbidden love withthe mortal Sonny, her jealoussisters (two of the mythicalGreek muses) take advantageof the situation and chaosabounds.

First and foremost, thisshow is a return to the 1980scomplete with leg warmers,headbands and a rotatingdisco ball.

The best word to describe itis “campy.” Everything isplayed over-the-top. I was sit-ting with a group of youngerpeople (probably in their 30s)

It’s nothing but two days ofnonstop, metal screamingaction when the NTPA PowerPull Nationals roar intoHutchinson.

The pull will celebrate its 20th year— and its second year as a GrandNational event — Friday and Satur-day night at the McLeod CountyFairgrounds.

The Grand National moniker setsthis event apart from others like it. Inthe pulling world, it’s comparable to

NASCAR racing competition and fea-tures the best of the best in vehiclesand drivers from across the UnitedStates.

“We are really excited to have theonly pull in Minnesota at the GN-level,” said Julie Rose, promoter ofthe Power Pull Nationals.

New this year will be the additionof a second track, so there will be twoside-by-side tracks. This will providecontinuous action and entertain-ment.

Another bonus the second trackprovides is the addition of a newvehicle class — Open Super Stock —without extending the length of theshow.

“Open Super Stock is ‘King of theHill,’ when it comes to NTPA tractorclasses,” she said. “The Open Supers

run on alcohol fuel, which meansyou won't see smoke out of theexhaust, instead just raw, screaminghorsepower from their multipleturbo setups and overhead camdesigns.”

This year’s featured classes includetwo-wheel drive trucks, HSS dieseltractors, modifieds, super semis andsuper stock open tractors.

Filming the action this weekendwill be an RFD-TV Network filmcrew. See it next season on the week-ly TV show, “NTPA ChampionshipPulling Series.”

Will Jenny Froemmingfollow in the foot-steps of CassandraJopp?

Jopp won the WEFest Karaoke Roundup in 2009, earn-ing the first-place prize of opening forcountry music superstar TimMcGraw.

Froemming, the daughter of Deanand Deb Froemming of Hutchinson,will get her shot at the big time onSaturday.

She is one of 63 finalists — fromMinnesota, North Dakota, SouthDakota, Iowa and Wisconsin — com-peting in the WE Fest KaraokeRoundup grand finals. The event is at

Seven Clans Casino, at Red Lake.The top three winners will earn

cash, prizes and the opportunity toopen for one of three headlining actsat this year’s WE Fest: Jason Aldean onThursday, Aug. 2, Toby Keith on Fri-day, Aug. 3, or Alabama on Saturday,Aug. 4.

"It's fun to be a part of the excite-ment," her mom said. "Win or losenow, she's a winner to us. There areso many talented voices in this com-petition and it's fun to see her includ-ed."

The Hutchinson native, who nowlives in Grand Forks, began her questin February. She won at the local levelwith a performance of “Big BlackHorse & The Cherry Tree,” by K.T.Tunstall, at El Roco in Grand Forks.

From there, Froemming advanced

to the NorthDakota statefinals in April,at The Hub inFargo. She com-peted in thetwo-roundcompetitionperforming“IndependenceDay,” by Marti-na McBride,and “Don’tStop Believin’,” by Journey.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Froemmingsaid. “If anything I’m a better musi-cian and a better performer fromthis.”

For Saturday’s grand finals, she isagain preparing two songs — one ofwhich is the Journey hit, and the

other is a rock ’n’ roll classic — thetitle of which she is keeping underwraps for now.

“I’ve been going to one of the localbars to try different karaoke songsevery week,” Froemming said. “Iwatch different videos of people per-forming, but they want you to make ityour own in style and delivery.”

A born performerMaking music comes naturally to

the 25-year-old. “I’ve been singing as long as I can

talk,” she said. Froemming also plays guitar, violin

and drums. She got her start singing at Peace

Lutheran Church and performing inschool choirs while growing up inHutchinson.

After graduating from HutchinsonHigh School in 2005, she headednorth to Concordia College in Moor-head, graduating in 2009, with an ele-mentary education major and amusic minor.

Her dream job is to become a per-forming recording artist.

“That’s what I would love to do,”she said. “I would like to join a bandand play, too.”

Although the pressure is on,Froemming said Saturday will be funeither way.

“It’s been a lot of fun for everyone,”she said. “My mom has been able tomake it to all the finals — showingeveryone I can perform. They saw meperform at church, but this is a littledifferent.”

who were almost rolling in the aislesover the dialogue.

Music is big in this show andincludes ’80s songs such as “Magic,”“All Over The World,” “Suddenly,”“I’m Alive,” “Evil Woman” and “HaveYou Never Been.”

A souvenir prop box is availablefor purchase. It contains items to beused by the audience during the

show. The crowd really got into itwhen the cues were given. The placelit up from glow sticks and discoballs were swinging at every table.

“Xanadu” also offers gallery seat-ing. For an extra charge, 16 membersof the audience can sit directly onstage and interact with the cast dur-ing the show.

This is not your typical Chanhas-

sen musical, so be prepared. It’s wildand crazy and a lot of fun.

“Xanadu” will be performed eighttimes weekly with evening perform-ances Tuesdays through Sundaysand matinees on Wednesdays andSaturdays through September. Fortickets and information, call the boxoffice toll free at 800-362-3515.

County Fairgrounds in Arlington.The couple moved it two years laterto Hutchinson, where it’s been eversince.

Through the years, pulling vehicleshave changed in looks and power.The machines generate up to 4,500horsepower for just one motor. Some“modifieds” at this event have fourmotors.

Safety also has improved. Equip-ment requirements include belted“girdles” around housings andimpact resistant shields to protect

from explosions. Drivers are alsorequired to wear fire-resistant cloth-ing and helmets just like other racingsports.

It’s an issue of particular impor-tance to the Rose family becauseRandy Rose — Rick Rose’s olderbrother — was injured in 1997, atTomah, Wis., when his SuperstockRed tractor rolled over.

While traditional tractor pullshave disappeared from county fairs,the NTPA’s popularity has enduredand grown. Engine horsepower has

increased and the crowds are larger,too.

Interestingly enough, what’s evenmore exciting to the Roses thanpacked bleachers is the loyal fanbase that has developed for this typeof high-power pulling.

“They are more educated on thepulling sport, the types of vehicleclasses and they even follow the rac-ing points per driver during theNTPA season,” she said. “It’s a funsport to watch and easy to under-stand.”

brush to one side of a fresh fish.Then it is pressed onto a T-shirt,paper or virtually any material. It’slike stamping only instead of usinga rubber stamp, you’re using a fish.

I know it sounds crazy, but theprocess has been around since themid-19th century. It’s considered aform of nature printing and wasoriginally used by fishermen torecord their catches.

What makes this process sointeresting — and arty — is the tex-ture of the fish’s body. The scalescreate one-of-a-kind pictures.

“When I first broached the sub-ject of painting with fish,” saidKathy Wnoroski, HCA director,“some people reacted with ‘ewww’and others said, ‘wow.’ It’s all aboutexpanding your horizons and delv-ing into art in a different, creativeand fun way.”

Wnoroski said the most commonquestion she gets is “Do the fishsmell?”

The answer is no. “We are using fresh fish caught

right here in McLeod County,” shesaid. “They won’t smell, be grossand slimy, no guts will spill out.After you put the paint on the fish,you forget it’s a real fish. It feels justlike rubber stamping, but thedesigns are so much more interest-ing.”

Gyotaku was introduced duringWater Carnival last year. Wnoroskireported the inaugural event as a“huge success.”

Ditto this year. Families canattend the Water Carnival KiddyDay events at Library Square andthen head over to the art center toexperience this hands-on activity.

“Kids absolutely loved it,” shesaid. “Some are apprehensive atfirst. Others dive right in. Even thekids who are not sure about it atfirst end up loving it.”

Adults can participate, too. Thisisn’t just for kids.
