Four sets of twin

GOODHUE — Anyone
referring to the “graduating

to be a little more specific this
year because there’s definitely
more than one pair.
In fact, there are four sets
of twins graduating this
spring from Goodhue High
School. In a class of fewer
than 60 students, the twins
represent roughly 14% of their
graduating class.

Sales tax helps diversify city’s revenue stream

O
h wise and all
knowing one:
Can you tell me
what our property
taxes are used for? I
always thought they
covered streets and
sidewalks, fire and
police, things we all
benefit from, but
now the city wants a
sales tax extension
to, in part, cover
infrastructure.
In light of the recent
St. Paul ruling, will
our city council get the
message?
Looking forward to
your explanation. —
Unhappy Taxpayer
Unhappy,
All taxes, as well as
other city revenue, aren’t
created equal.
Rochester’s 2022
property tax levy
will collect
$86.8 million, which
covers approximately
17% of the city’s planned
expenses for the year.
You are correct that
the property tax revenue
largely covers things that
benefit the community
as whole, but those
particular tax dollars
don’t cover the entire
cost.
Approximately
$59 million of the
property taxes collected
go into the city’s general
fund, which is budgeted
at $101.2 million this year.
Of that, 58.1% of the
expense is tied to public
safety, 16.5% is for public
works, 16.6% is used
for general government
operations and the
remaining 8.8% supports
several other things,
including arts, economic
development and
community reinvestment.
Outside the general
fund, 10.5% of the
property tax revenue
supports city parks and
recreation, 8.5% funds
the Rochester Public
Library, 3.6% covers debt
payments for a variety of
past projects and 0.7% is
used to support Rochester
International Airport.
That leaves less
than $7.6 million to
be contributed to a
planned $148.5 million in
improvement projects for
the year.
In the case of city
streets, the city is hoping
to generate $50 million
from sales tax in extra
funds to catch up on
a backlog of street
replacement projects.
Current funding has
the city replacing one
to two miles of city
streets a year, meaning
it would take 250 years
to replace all city streets
as they deteriorate over
their anticipated 50-year
lifespans.
Replacing the city’s
more than 490 miles of
streets in a 50-year period
would cost an estimated
$20 million a year.
Replacement of
deteriorating streets is
different from the work
addressed in the St. Paul
lawsuit, where a judge
ruled residents shouldn’t
be assessed for routine
maintenance of streets
abutting their property.
Rochester doesn’t
assess property
owners for the regular
resurfacing of city
streets.
Assessments are used
to cover a portion of the
costs for upgrades and
replacements, which are
considered to add value
to adjacent properties.
The proposed sales
tax extension, however,
is not an assessment. It
would be a continued
diversification of city
revenue.
The city has received
approval to generate
$335.6 million in sales
taxes since 1983 to
upgrade and build a
variety of projects that
would otherwise have
gone undone or required
a boost to property taxes.
Among them are flood
control efforts, new
facilities and a variety of
infrastructure.
The city could opt
to end the sales tax in
2024, when the current
dedication is complete.
If that happens, the
Rochester City Council
would likely have a
few options – continue
to delay upgrades to
streets and flood control,
increase property taxes
by up to $12 million to
$13 million to replace the
lost sales tax revenue or
find a magic lamp and
start rubbing in the hope
that a genie appears.
The sales tax option
is an effort to disperse
costs beyond property
owners. It collects funds
from everyone who
makes taxable purchases
in the city, meaning
renters, employees who
live outside Rochester
and visitors, all of whom
benefit from good streets
and flood protection.
It’s one of the reasons
the state Legislature
weighs in on whether
projects are appropriate
and have a regional
benefit.
The legislative verdict
is still out on the current
$205 million request.
If any portion of the
request is approved, city
residents will be asked to
vote on the tax extension
in November.
That would leave the
council with time to start
looking for that magic
lamp, if needed.

While this group may have
drawn some attention for the
fact that they’re all in the
same grade, they’re by no
means the only twins in the
Goodhue school system. The
principal herself grew up as a
twin. There’s also another set
of twins in one of the lower
grades of the school district.
“We got to thinking of all the
staff members that have been
twins,” Rehder said.
As they all get ready for
graduation, their plans have
started to diverge somewhat
from each other. Brothers
Trent and Trey are both
headed to study business
at the University of South
Dakota. Sisters Grace and
Claire are both headed to
Rochester Community and
Technical College for a period
before heading separate ways.
The students from the other
two pairs all have their own
individual plans.
Even though they all grew up
in the same small school, they
already have an idea of what
it’s like to learn apart from
each other.
“I feel like when we were
younger, we were always split
up,” Joslyn Carlson said.
“There’d be one twin in one
class and the other in another.”
Twins Grace and Claire
Schulte had a similar
experience:

teacher wouldn’t have to worry

Grace said.

Rochester Public Schools

to host powwow for first
time since pandemic began
BY JORDAN SHEARER
Post Bulletin
ROCHESTER – For the
first time since before the
pandemic, Rochester Public
Schools will host an in-person
powwow in honor of its Native
American students and their
families.
The powwow will be held
Saturday, May 21 at Mayo High
School, with the grand entry
beginning at 1 p.m. The event
is open to the public.
A powwow is a traditional
Native ceremony that focuses
on singing and dancing.
According to a press release
from RPS, this year’s event
will include “invited drums,
tiny tot special, 50/50 raffle,
hand drum contest, handmade
American Indian goods, and
more.”
This year’s event also
will include a Feather
Ceremony, which has been
held separately in years past.
According to Amelia Cordell,
American Indian Liaison for
RPS, there are seven Native
youth graduating this year.
“A big part of any event,
you receive an eagle feather,”
Cordell said. “(It represents)
the importance that you have
gone through something really
challenging, and you have
earned it.”
The powwow is just one
of several steps the school
district has made in recent
years to highlight its
relationship with the Native
community. In 2021, a student
nominated the name “Dakota”
for the new middle school,
which was then approved as
the final choice.
Also, during every
school board meeting, the
chairperson reads a statement,
acknowledging the district
facilities are located on the
ancestral land of the Dakota
people.
Although the event is held
by the school district, it will
attract dancers and families
from a wide area. Cordell
said the powwow will draw

Peace United arson ‘didn’t derail’ congregation

BY EMILY CUTTS
Post Bulletin
ROCHESTER — On
Easter, Peace United
Church of Christ’s theme
was “hope grows here.”
Just a few days later,
that message took on
a new meaning as the
congregation was faced
with a devastating fire
that caused millions of
dollars in damage.
A little less than a
month later, church
leaders and others
gathered Thursday, May
12, 2022, to reflect on
the fire, speak about the
damage it caused and
look toward the church’s
future. Although the fire
caused an estimated $2.5
million in damage, the
congregation did not miss
a Sunday in its sanctuary.
“It was so powerful to
be able to come back into
this place,” the Rev. Paul
Bauch said. “When we
came back on that Sunday,
after the fire, it was like
new life. We’re in the
resurrection spirit and
I truly just felt like this
restoration was beginning
right away. So I’m very
thankful for that.”
Rochester firefighters
were called to the church,
1503 Second Ave. NE,
in the early morning
hours of April 18, 2022, in
response to a fire alarm.

downstairs level between

were reported.
“We just came off
COVID and we were ready
to get going again and
then the fire came along,”
said Bauch. “And it didn’t
derail us by any means
but it kind of made us
step back once again,
and reshape what our
ministry is going to look
like coming up.”
The fire department
said shortly after the
fire that while fire
damage was limited,
smoke caused significant
damage in the areas
immediately adjacent to
the fire. Nearly all parts
of the large church and
Listos preschool had some
smoke exposure.
In addition to being
home to the preschool, the
church building regularly
hosts several community
groups, including the
Rochester Men’s Chorus
and a weekly bluegrass
night.

Debby Adams said the
preschool lost everything

housed at Mount Olive

Beer study by the University

From page A1
While that support
didn’t make up for the
loss of taproom revenue
for most Minnesota
breweries, that kind of
support is unique to the
industry and a big reason
why guild leaders expect
craft beer to bounce back.
“For me, I see it as a
back-and-forth,” said Bob
Galligan, the Minnesota
Craft Brewers Guild’s
director of government
and industry relations.
“You take care of us, we
take care of you.”
That’s why guild
leaders say they expect
to see breweries in
unexpected places despite
some crowded markets
seeing some closures.
“Some breweries are
going to open in places
people didn’t anticipate

said.
TEN YEARS OF GROWTH



By every measure, the
of Minnesota’s state
extension office.
However, COVID-
19 put a strain on an
industry that was
already experiencing a
slowing rate of growth.
Nationwide, craft brewers
saw their share of beer
sales drop for the first
time in more than a
decade, according to the
Brewers Association.
The Minnesota beer
industry was not exempt.
The UM Extension report
estimates Minnesota
breweries saw an 18% dip
in sales and a 10% drop in
the industry’s workforce
in 2020.
The industry did
find some relief from
lawmakers. Federal
COVID aid helped some
breweries through the
pandemic. Now they’re
also looking for help
closer to home. Guild
members say legislation
from the state would
expand the types of to-go
containers Minnesota
breweries would be
more mature.
Watson said the
industry has spawned
a greater variety of
products while offering
opportunities to a more
diverse group of people.
“A more mature market
forces us to think about
the customer more and
find niches where we can
grow,” Watson said.
Watson addressed years
of speculation about a
craft beer bubble burst.
“I want to highlight for
the hundredth time, this
isn’t a bubble bursting,”
he said.
Only about 30 percent
of craft beer brands
showed growth through
2020 to 2022, Watson said.
Sales of other beverages
including canned
cocktails and seltzers are
growing faster, he added.
“If these trends
continue, beer is not going
to be the number one
beverage in the United
States,” he said.
Part of what is driving
that are the demographics
of drinkers, he wrote in
with craft beer could help
the industry grow, Watson
said.
KEEPING IT LOCAL
J. Nikol Jackson-
Beckham, the Brewers
Association’s diversity
ambassador, said the
industry is making
strides but the effort is
a marathon. However,
the association’s main
concern is the needs
of the brewers and the
communities they serve.
“We’re a trade
association,” she said.
“We need to listen to our
members.”
The two aren’t mutually
exclusive because the
people who live in this
increasingly diverse
country don’t live very far
from a brewery.
More than 85% of the
U.S. population lives
within 10 miles of a
craft brewery, Jackson-
Beckham said.
That percentage

continue to open in

Getting excited about birthdays can lead to disappointment

I
hadn’t been so excited
about my birthday
since the year I turned
10 and had accidentally
discovered that there was
a G-I Joe space capsule
hidden in the back of
mom’s closet.
THAT was a birthday
to remember, but nothing
like this.
This year I’d get a cake.
Cake was a birthday
tradition in our house;
Mom would make a
chocolate cake with
chocolate frosting
and decorate it with
candy letters and the
appropriate number of
candles. She’d light the
candles once the supper
dishes were cleared away,
the family would sing
an off-key version of the
Happy Birthday song and
the cake would be served
DAN
CONRADT
with vanilla ice cream.
I wasn’t expecting a
song or a G-I Joe space
capsule on my 22nd
birthday, but I was
expecting a cake.
Not a Mom cake. An
office cake.
There was a tradition
at work that an
employee’s birthday
would be celebrated with
a cake, and my 22nd
birthday would be my
first office cake. But in
the weeks leading up to
my birthday, the tradition
had come to represent
something much more
than a cake; it was
confirmation that I was
part of the team … doing
a job, earning a paycheck,
making my own way.
Being an adult, even if,
for one day, at least, I felt
like a 10-year old.
I smelled the cake
even before I saw it, and
knew that one of my
co-workers had stopped at
the bakery on the way to
the office.
I was glad I wore a
clean shirt.
The office workers
were at their desks when
I walked through the
lobby: “Good morning,” I
said a little too cheerfully.
Someone answered a
phone and someone else
was punching numbers
into an adding machine. I
passed between two desks
and stepped into the
break room.
If a birthday cake can
be a work of art, there
was art sitting on the
counter. It was covered
with delicate frosting
flowers and sprinkled
with colorful candy
confetti.
Across the top of the
cake, a ribbon of frosting
spelled out “Happy
birthday, Roscoe!”
Wait … what? Roscoe?!
I looked around to see
if I’d missed a second
cake, maybe a bigger one
that said something like,
oh, I don’t know, “Happy
Birthday, Dan”.
Nope. Just one cake.
Happy Birthday, Roscoe.
I was still trying to
understand the cake
when the workers in the 22 candles would be a

Six Southeast Minnesota counties deemed Motorcyclist

areas of high COVID transmission dies, passenger
BY RANDY PETERSEN hospital admission rate of 15.4 per The six Southeast Minnesota
Post Bulletin

ROCHESTER — Six of eight

counties in Southeast Minnesota
are listed as areas of high COVID-
19 transmission based on federal
updates released Thursday.
Olmsted County is joined
by Dodge, Fillmore, Houston,
Wabasha and Winona, in reporting
case rates above 200 per 100,000
residents in a seven-day period.
For Olmsted County, which has
the highest rate at 453.6 confirmed
cases per 100,000 residents, it’s a 32
percent increase compared to last
week.
The increase comes with a
hospital admission rate of 15.4
people per 100,000 reported in five
of the six local counties. Houston
County’s reported admission rate
is slightly lower at 14.8 admissions
per 100,000 residents.
Mower County reports the
lowest confirmed case rate at 174.7
per 100,000 residents, alongside a
100,000. The combination makes
the county an area of medium
transmission under Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
guidelines.
Goodhue County also escaped
the “high” rating.
While it has 237.4 confirmed
cases per 100,000 residents, the
reported hospitalization rate has
remained at five per 100,000 people.
The CDC guidelines base
transmission status on a
combination of confirmed cases
per 100,000 residents during
a seven-day period, as well as
the hospitalization rate and
the percentage of hospital beds
occupied by COVID patients.
None of the Southeast

from three-county corrections agreement 48-year-old Lori Ann

BY RANDY PETERSEN
Post Bulletin
ROCHESTER —
Fillmore County plans to
pull out of a three-county
agreement providing
corrections supervision
and other services.
“We’ve been talking
about it for years,”
Fillmore County
Administrator Bobbie
Hillery said Wednesday.
“Mainly, we’ve talked
about the budget over the
years.”
The Fillmore County
Board of Commissioners
voted 5-0 to end the
agreement with Olmsted
and Dodge counties,
which started in 2011.
The combined effort
provides supervision
of adults and juveniles
on probation, as well as
victim services, in each
of the counties.
The joint powers
agreement that operated
Dodge-Fillmore-Olmsted
Community Corrections
will remain in place until
the end of the year, but
the partners are required
to provide notice by
June 1 if they plan to
discontinue the combined
effort.
Hillery said the
commissioners have
discussed the possibility
of leaving the agreement
for years and cited
increased costs as a key
concern.
Since 2011, the annual
expense to Fillmore
County has risen from
$352,886 to $479,406,
which included a nearly
$56,000 increase this year.
Hillery said the increase
was equal to a 0.5
percent property tax levy
increase for the county.
Another factor in the
discussions has been
legislation passed in 2016,
according to Hillery.
“Before, we weren’t
allowed to do community
corrections because
of our size, so we had
to be part of a joint
powers board,” she
said of the county with
approximately 21,000
residents.
The 2016 state
legislation allowed
smaller counties
to transition from
combined agreements,
but Hillery said county
commissioners and staff
were hesitant to move
forward in the past.
“We thought this was
the year to take that on,”
she said.
In a statement from
Olmsted County, Deputy
Administrator Travis
Gransee, who previously
served as director of
DFO Corrections, said
the intent of earlier
requirements was to
“promote efficiency and
economy in the delivery
of correctional services
at a local level.”
He said Olmsted
County supports Fillmore
County’s decision to
pursue more local control
of its services.
Hillery said the county
will continue to discuss
how its local corrections
program will work, but
staff remains confident it
can be a successful part
of the local community
services operations.
“We want to see what
we can do internally
with our own corrections
team,” she said, noting
commissioners directed
staff to seek a new
director and develop a
staffing plan to maintain
services.
Through the joint
agreement, Olmsted
County staffed six
corrections employees
in Fillmore County, but

Avian flu confirmed in dead Silver Lake Park geese

BY RANDY PETERSEN
Post Bulletin
ROCHESTER — Avian flu
has been confirmed in several
dead geese found in Silver Lake
Park.
The first six dead birds
reported on April 24 tested
positive for avian flu, according
to Rochester Parks and Rec
director Paul Widman.
The cases are the first
reported in Olmsted County.
Three other dead geese were
found in the park days after the
initial discovery, but none have
been reported in other city
parks or parts of the city.
“DNR will not be doing
any further testing now that
avian flu has been confirmed,” Houston and Wabasha
Widman said.
Avian flu has been
discovered in wild birds in 47
of Minnesota’s 87 counties.
In Southeast Minnesota that
includes Fillmore, Goodhue,

counties.
When combined with
domestic bird reports from
commercial poultry farms to
backyard hobbyists, which
include sites in Dodge and
Post Bulletin file photo
Mower counties, the disease
has been found in 60 counties
throughout the state.
Widman said Rochester
parks staff have already been
working under the assumption contaminated with feces from
that the dead geese found in
Silver lake had died from avian
flu, since it’s uncommon for
such numbers to die without
an obvious cause.
The Minnesota Board of
Animal Health reports the first
strain of the current avian
flu was found in the state on
March 25, and the virus has
not been found to have caused
human illness in the state.
However, the disease can
spread when enough virus gets
into a person’s eyes, nose or
mouth, or is inhaled.
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention guidance to
prevent avian flu exposure
includes:
• Avoiding direct contact
with wild birds and observing
them only from a distance.
• Avoiding contact with
poultry that appear ill or have
died.
• Avoiding contact with
surfaces that appear to be
wild or domestic birds.
• Wearing gloves and
washing your hands with soap
and water if you must handle
wild birds or sick or dead
poultry.
• Wearing respiratory
protection, such as a medical
face mask when handling
birds.
• Changing your clothing
before contact with healthy
domestic poultry and birds.
Widman said anyone finding
a goose in Rochester city parks
is asked to contact the Parks
and Rec Department at 507-328-
2900 to have the bird removed
as quickly as possible.
Anyone finding suspicious
dead waterfowl or a group of
five or more dead wild birds
throughout the state should
report them to the Minnesota
Department of Natural
Resource at 888-646-6367.

of the public at Dodge County Wind hearing
BY THEODORE TOLLEFSON
Post Bulletin
KASSON, Minn. — The
Kasson State Theater found
itself filled more than
it usually is on an early
Tuesday afternoon as a
public hearing was held for
the proposed Dodge County
Wind project that would have
a footprint in Dodge, Mower,
and Steele counties.
The hearing brought forth
many residents where the
main concern was voltage
transmission lines and why
they were being planned to be
above ground and not below.
Mark Lennox, project
lead for Dodge County
Wind, said the high-voltage
transmission lines would
carry 161 kilovolts on a single
circuit monopole structure.
The lines would follow public
road right-of-way, private
easements, and existing
T-line corridors from the
main wind-generator site to
a grid connection in Mower
County.
The Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission,
which will decide whether
to award permits for the
project, looks at numerous
considerations including,

“What most people have

Johnson. “So I hope that

O A word or phrase you’re most proud of sneaking in to a story:
In a travel story about the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge,
I wrote this subhead in the story: ‘Egrets, I’ve Seen a Few.’ It still makes me
giggle.
O Local journalism is important. Here’s why: To misquote Tip O’Neill, all
news is local. If it doesn’t impact your life, why do you care? Well, that’s our job, to explain why we
should care. We cover local news and we explain the implications of world news at a local level.
O You won’t get far in the journalism world without:
You need to be able to say, “One more question” to a reluctant source, then ask three.
O On the fence about subscribing to the PB?This is real news. We work every day to let you know what
is important in our community. If you want the wool pulled over your eyes, read Facebook and believe
everything on the Internet. If you want to be informed, subscribe.

Pahl eager to give
back with inaugural
hockey camp
Mayo graduate, Gophers goalie to
help youth players in Rochester area
BY JASON FELDMAN
Post Bulletin
MINNEAPOLIS — The
wheels started turning for
Makayla Pahl last year, when
the NCAA adopted a policy
allowing athletes
to benefit from
their name, image
and likeness.
Those
spinning wheels
eventually led to
a conversation
Pahl with advisors
from Potenza
Sports, a sports
management agency in Eden
Prairie. Those conversations
led to Pahl, a Rochester Mayo
graduate who just wrapped
up her junior year at the
University of Minnesota,
stamping her name on a
hockey camp.
The inaugural Makayla Pahl
Hockey Camp is scheduled for
June 27-28 at the Rochester
Recreation Center.
“They said ‘we think we can
make a good camp for you,”
Pahl said of her talks with
the advisors at Potenza. “Sure
enough, as time has gone
along, we started planning
it and now it’s happening.
They’ve been so helpful;
they’ve planned everything
out and I’m super grateful for
that.”
Though the 5-foot-11 Pahl is
an outstanding goaltender —
she is 12-4-1 with a 1.81 goals-
against average and .931 save
percentage in her first three
seasons with the Gophers
— her camp will be open to
goalies and skaters.
“It kind of all started when
the NIL thing got passed last
year in the summer,” Pahl
said of the NCAA ruling that
permits athletes to earn money
by endorsing products or

Once-promising Wild season ends on sour note with loss to Blues
BY DANE MIZUTANI
St. Paul Pioneer Press
ST. LOUIS — This time was
supposed to be different.
After the best regular season
in franchise history, the Wild
entered the playoffs a week and
a half ago with thoughts of
a deep run. Some considered
them a dark horse to win the
Stanley Cup.
Equipped with a superstar
in Kirill Kaprizov, a game-
breaker in Kevin Fiala,
scoring depth up and down the
lineup, a talented blue line,
and a dynamic duo of Marc-
Andre Fleury and Cam Talbot
between the pipes, the sky was
the limit for this version of the
Wild.
Yet like so many teams
before them, the Wild once
again bowed out in the first
round, this time falling 4-2 in
a series against the rival St.
Louis Blues. To make matters
worse, the Wild led the series
events such as her upcoming
camp. “Right off the bat, I
wanted it to be for both goalies
and skaters, just to allow as
many kids as wanted to come,
to be able to come.”
Online registration for
the two-day camp is now
open at PotenzaSports.net/
HockeyCamp.html. The camp,
which is open to boys and
girls ages 12-17, will include
other Gophers hockey players,
including Pahl’s fellow goalie
Skylar Vetter, a Lakeville
North grad, and former
Gophers men’s hockey forward
Jonny Sorenson. He recently
announced he will transfer to
the University of Alaska.
“(Campers) can expect at
least six hours of ice time —
with some skill work and some
fun games — and we’ll also do
some dryland sessions for an
hour or so each day,” said Pahl,
a 2019 Mayo grad who was a
finalist for Minnesota’s Senior
Goalie of the Year award that
season. “We’ll have classroom
sessions and bring in speakers
to talk about the elite mind
and elite body of a hockey
player. They’ll learn how to
stay mentally and physically
healthy.”
A strong mental mindset
has been important to Pahl
throughout her playing career.
She played on the top boys
teams in Rochester during
her youth hockey days, then
played for the Mayo boys team
as a junior in 2017-18, before
playing with the Spartans’
girls as a senior. In 2018, she
was a member of Team USA,
which won a gold medal
at the U18 Women’s World
Championships.

2-1 at the beginning of this

complete control with the
Blues battling injuries on the
backend.
Instead, the Wild lost three
consecutive games, ending
their season with a 5-1 loss in
Game 6 on Thursday night at
Enterprise Center.
For a group that’s prided
itself on its resiliency, the Wild
crumbled when it mattered
most. After saying all the right
things in the days leading up
to the must-win game, the Wild
did all the wrong things during
a 20-minute stretch that proved
to be their demise.
“Obviously we’re
disappointed,” Mats Zuccarello
said. “There was a belief that
we were going to come back to
Minnesota for a Game 7. Our
goal was to move forward.”
Now the Wild will return
home with nothing to show for
a once-promising season.
On the brink of elimination,

SATURDAY SPORTS Q&A
Professional mixed martial artist Travis Wiuff works out Sept. 13, 2019, in the Kasson-Mantorville
High School wrestling room in Kasson. Wiuff most recently won a Greco Roman national
championship in Las Vegas as he navigates the next chapter in his career.
WIUFF IS STILL AS
HUNGRY AS EVER
Goals have changed for Kasson
coach, MMA fighter now in his 40s
BY ALEX VANDENHOUTEN
Post Bulletin
KASSON — Being a
professional fighter has taken
Travis Wiuff places he never
fathomed seeing.
With more than 100
professional mixed-martial
arts fights over a two-decade
career, the Owatonna High
School graduate and Kasson
resident has been all over
the world, fighting in Tokyo,
Brazil, the United Arab
Emirates and Dubai among
others.
He still wants to fight,
but now at the age of 44,
Wiuff understands those
opportunities are going to be
fewer and farther between.
Yet, his body still feels great.
He recently won a Greco-
Roman style wrestling
national championship in Las
Vegas and hopes to do a fight
in Billings, Mont., in July as
he begins to navigate the back
end of his career.
Post Bulletin: You
recently came back from
Las Vegas after winning a
Greco-Roman style national
championship. What was
that experience like?
Wiuff: That was fun. It was
a national tournament. They
break it up into age divisions.
It goes from Masters A, which
I think it starts at 25 years
old and then it goes all the
way up to Masters E, which
is 60-plus masters and it was
Greco-Roman wrestling,
which is kind of all upper-
body stuff and throws. I was
goaltenders, starting Talbot
over Fleury. That provided a
major boost early in the game.
After a solid opening 10
minutes, the Wild appeared to
be in the driver’s seat. Until a
rush from Blues defenseman
Nick Leddy, who grew up about
30 minutes away from the Xcel
Energy Center and was a Wild
draft pick once upon a time.
With the puck on his stick
late in the first period, Leddy
slowly but surely maneuvered
his way into the offensive zone,
and every Wild player on the
ice watched him do it. A couple
of seconds later, Leddy put the
Blues up 1-0 with a seemingly
harmless shot that somehow
beat Talbot clean.
“It has to be a save from that
far out,” Talbot said. “We had
a good first period and that
gets in and gives them some
momentum. They don’t need
help scoring goals, so that first
goal has to stay out of the net.”
That spoiled another
otherwise good effort from the
in Masters C and wrestled
four guys and it was good. It
was something I did last year
for the first time. Last year it
was in Tampa, this was the
first year it was in Vegas. My
girls came and it was a lot of
fun. It takes me back to my
roots. I wrestled since I was a
little kid. It’s something I can
do for years to come. Like I
said, there’s 60-year-olds doing
it. So it definitely keeps me
motivated. Excited to train
and then there’s even a World
Tournament later in the year,
in October (in Bulgaria). So
that’s kind of my next goal is
to wrestle there and try to be a
world champion.
PB: Are you still looking
for mixed martial arts
fights or is the Greco-
Roman style wrestling
the next chapter in your
career?
Wiuff: As we get older
there’s just less and less
competition. And I still feel
really good. I just turned 44,
but I feel really good. I wish
I had more opportunities to
fight because I still think I
could do pretty well, but I’m
realistic also. There’s not
a lot of opportunities for a
guy. you know, close to his
mid-40s. Looking at it from
my opponents point of view,
if you’re an up-and-coming
fighter, you can’t lose to me.
That would kill your career,
but at the same time if you
beat me, it doesn’t really mean
a whole lot. So the wrestling is
definitely something to keep
me active. And, you know,

keep that competitive drive,
which I still have. I think I
always will. So it’s definitely
something motivating me
to train and continues to
motivate me more to work
out every morning. Things
like that. So I think that’s a
huge part of it. Then doing
the world championships, it
would be cool to call yourself
a world champion.
PB: In March, you were
scheduled to take place in a
professional bare knuckles
boxing match that was
canceled at the last minute.
What does bare knuckles
boxing entail?
Wiuff: They’re saying it’s
the fastest growing sport
in the world. I don’t know
if that’s true. It’s definitely
becoming more popular;
2018 is kind of when it really
started, started to get on pay-
per-view. There was a major
promotion that started in
the United States. I’ve kicked
around the idea — not really
ever overly enthused — but
I think I could do pretty well
and honestly, it sounds a lot
more brutal than it is. It’s
actually pretty safe. It just
doesn’t sound like it. You don’t
get nearly the concussions
or things like that. You get
a lot of cuts and broken
hands. Those are the two big
things but I guess they’ve
said they’ve done studies and
concussions are way lower
in bare knuckle boxing. So I
got offered a fight. And it was

power play. They didn’t
even get a shot off.
Fittingly, the Blues
got a power play later in
the second period, and
they promptly cashed in
to make it 2-0. The goal
came courtesy of Blues
captain Ryan O’Reilly,
who proved to be a
menace throughout the
series, tormenting the
Wild on both ends of the
ice.
From that point
forward, the Wild looked
like a shell of themselves.
“The stuff that didn’t
bother us all season
bothered us and we didn’t
handle the situation
here tonight as well as
we expected ourselves to
handle it,” Evason said.
“Normally (when we
allow a goal) we’re like,
‘OK. No worries. We’re
good. Hang in there.’ For
whatever reason, we just
got real tight and just
kept going from there.”
A few minutes after
O’Reilly scored, Blues
center Tyler Bozak
stretched the lead to
3-0, using his big body
to clean up the trash in
front of Talbot. Not to be
outdone, Blues superstar
winger Vladimir
Tarasenko made it 4-0
late in the second period.
That put the game out
of reach, and while Matt
Dumba found the back
of the net in the third
period to cut the deficit
to 4-1.
“There’s no quit in
our group,” Talbot said.
“There’s never been a
time throughout the
season that I thought we
gave up or quit in a game.
You can’t say enough
about the guys in our
room and how special
they are and how special
of a group this was. I
think that’s what stings
the most.”

Pahl
From page B1
Minnesota, too, where
she has constantly had
to share the net. The
Gophers carried four
goalies last season,
though Pahl put up
sparkling numbers, going
9-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and
a .932 save percentage.
“Having four goalies
on a team and rotating
(playing time) with three,
it’s definitely mentally
challenging,” Pahl said.
“But, honestly, you can
only control what you can
control. Anytime you’re
put in the game, you
have to do your job and
come out with the win.
When you’re not in the
net, you have to be a good
teammate and be their
No. 1 supporter.
“I’m proud of what I
did this season and what I
accomplished every time I
got put in net.”

Lynx part ways with Sims, McCoughtry

BY JACE FREDERICK
St. Paul Pioneer Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Nothing
has gone to plan for the
Lynx to open the 2022
campaign. They aimed to be
championship contenders in
Sylvia Fowles’ final season.
They signed fellow WNBA
legend Angel McCoughtry
to aid in that endeavor. They
signed veteran Odyssey Sims
three days before the start
of the season, hoping to
recapture the magic she found
here in 2019 and stabilize the
point guard position.
Instead, they lost their first
three games, and on Thursday
they agreed to a “mutual
separation” with Sims and
bought out McCoughtry’s
contract.
The latter is perhaps most
surprising. McCoughtry, a
35-year-old forward, signed
with Minnesota in February
and figured to be a key cog for
the Lynx this season. But she
received knee treatment in the
week leading up to the start
of the season, causing her to
miss the season opener, and
struggled in losses against
Washington and Indiana.
In a statement, Lynx
coach and general manager
Cheryl Reeve thanked
McCoughtry for her belief in
the organization and lauded
the five-time WNBA All-Star
as one of the game’s best.
But the match simply wasn’t
working.
“Minnesota is a great
organization and a class
act,” McCoughtry said in a
statement. “Thank you to
Cheryl Reeve, the coaching
staff and my teammates for
the opportunity to come to
Minnesota. Although the
organization has been very
patient with my injury and
helping me heal my body,
sometimes it’s about what fits
best for both parties. I believe
in myself and I know I will be
all the way back to perform at
the highest level.”
The Lynx also used another
hardship exemption, signing
rookie wing Evina Westbrook.
At the time, the roster spot
was open because of Sims’
unavailability.
Sims didn’t travel to Indiana
for Minnesota’s loss Tuesday
in what was announced as
a personal matter. Earlier
Thursday, Reeve was asked if
the absence of Sims — signed
last week just days ahead of
the season opener — could
be long term and responded,
“don’t know.”
Hours later, the two sides
went their separate ways.
Minnesota also released
Rennia Davis, Nina Mili and
Yvonne Turner from their
hardship deals Thursday. Any
of them could be inked to
actual contracts.
Hardship roster spots last
until the player a signee is
replacing returns to action.
Westbrook was a late
second-round selection by
Seattle in last month’s WNBA
Draft and like many rookies
in this age of roster crunches,
didn’t make the Storm out of
training camp.
Westbrook played a large
role in helping UConn reach
the national title game in
early April. She averaged
9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1
assists and 1.4 steals for the
Huskies in her final collegiate
season.
Reeve noted that given the
situation the Lynx are in, “it
sure seems like there will be
opportunities.”
After Thursday’s
transactions, the Lynx had
five rostered, healthy players.
Kayla McBride’s Turkish
team is one win away from
its league title, meaning the
guard could be in a Lynx
uniform soon — a desperately
needed addition.
But until she’s back,
Minnesota needs someone else
to produce. Or, at this point,
simply play.
More roster additions were
expected to occur on Friday,
ahead of today’s home contest
against the defending WNBA
champions Chicago Sky.

Vile brought passion, fire from Gophers to Badgers

BY PAT RUFF
Post Bulletin
University of Wisconsin
men’s tennis coach Danny
Westerman had spent three
years admiring Sebastian Vile
from afar.
A Rochester Mayo graduate
and former high
school state
champion, Vile
was playing for
the University of
Minnesota when
Westerman was
taking note of
him.
Vile
Westerman
thought so
much of Vile that he wished
his team didn’t have to play
against the 5-foot-9, vocal and
relentless dynamo.
“Our (Wisconsin) guys hated
playing against ‘Sebo’ because
he was always such a tough
out,” Westerman said.
Westerman got his wish.
At the close of the 2021
season, the University of
Minnesota dropped men’s
tennis in a cost-saving move.
Not only would there be no
more Badgers battles with
Vile, but Westerman would
wind up with an even more
coveted reward.
Like all of the Minnesota
players, a heartbroken Vile
went looking for a new
program to join once his time
at Minnesota ended. He was
crushed especially because of
the relationships he’d built
on those Gophers teams, their
players having pushed and
been there for each other,
with Vile soaking it up and
contributing toward it every
step of the way.
Once Vile went looking for a
new team, Westerman adopted
a slight variation of an old
adage. It went like this: “If you
can’t beat Vile, get him to join
your program.”
Westerman’s recruiting
pitch worked. Vile spent this
past season not only wearing
the Badgers’ red and white,
but getting the Wisconsin team
to play with impassioned red
faces.
Though not Wisconsin’s
best player, Vile might have
been its most valuable
one, providing the Badgers
precisely what they needed
en route to having a
breakthrough season.
“When I came through the
door, I knew the situation they
were in,” said Vile, who played
No. 4 singles and No. 1 doubles
for the Badgers. “They’d lost a

lot of close matches the year
before (5-11 in the Big Ten in
2021, 5-13 overall). I wanted us
to have a bounce-back year.”
With Vile supplying all
kinds of emotion, team
building and oomph, the
Badgers did just that.
Wisconsin went a sparkling
6-2 in the Big Ten this year,
Contributed / David Stluka, University of and now he’s thrilled the Mayo

12-10 overall.
Westerman had a hunch that “He doesn’t just believe
a turnaround was imminent
once Vile slipped on a
Wisconsin jersey.
“I wanted ‘Sebo’ in
our program because he
understands exactly what
college team tennis is all
about,” Westerman said.
“I saw his growth with the
Gophers and I thought he’d be
a natural fit for us. We’d lost
a guy a lot like him, Robert
Krill, from the year before.
And those two check a lot of
the same boxes. I knew we
were losing a vocal, excited
guy, and I thought ‘Sebo’
would fill all of that.”
Vile did and did it every day.
“‘Sebo’ had a tremendous
impact on us, and I knew he
would,” Westerman said. “He
elevated the guys around him
immediately and did it with
his work ethic and passion.
His passion is unmatched,
and that is what makes him
unique.”
Westerman got exactly what
he was hoping for from Vile,

final season next year.
Vile is just as excited.
“Our coach took a chance on
me, and I’m very appreciative
that he did that,” Vile said.

He truly believes that we are

Byron embracing big expectations

First was the turnover

and then others have
followed like the home

used a couple of years

Yet, when Byron
baseball captain Jake
Isaak approached coach
Ryan Hansen with an
idea about giving a WWE
championship belt to
the MVP of each game,
Hansen was initially
hesitant.
“I’m kind of an old
school guy,” Hansen said.
“I don’t get into those
award things. But I’ve

more and more to let
the kids kind of come

years ago I’d been like
‘no way’ because I would

So far, it’s been
anything but. In fact,
Hansen admitted it’s
been a real team-builder
for a team that has the
talent and experience to
make a deep postseason
run.
“It’s been a lot of fun,”
Bears captain John Lutzi
said. “Everybody’s been

“He looks like a totally

Baldelli, Arraez return from Twins’ COVID-19 list

BY JOHN SHIPLEY
St. Paul Pioneer Press
MINNEAPOLIS
— Minnesota Twins
manager Rocco Baldelli
and infielder Luis Arraez
were back for the Twins
on Thursday after missing
five games on the team’s
COVID-19 injured list.
Baldelli managed both
of Thursday’s games
against the Astros, and
Arraez played first base
in the second after being
officially activated from
the IL.
Baldelli, Arraez
and pitcher Dylan
Bundy spent three days
quarantined in the
Baltimore Four Seasons
before flying back to
Minnesota on a small
medical plane Sunday.
The manager said he
suspected they were
infected during a three-
game series at Tampa
Bay’s Tropicana Field.
“It’s hard not to think
the Trop was the spot,” he
said. “And there were a lot
of people there not feeling
well when we were there.”
“You wish you didn’t have
to deal with that after
coming back, and I know
Oakland was dealing
with some things, I think,
staff-wise, as well. I think
the reality is there’s
going to be a lot of teams
dealing with this moving
forward.”

certification amount for all properties
is $7,445.00.
A copy of the proposed certification
roll is on file and open for public in-
spection in the City Clerk’s office.
Property owners are entitled to ap-
pear and present their objection to
the charges at the time of the hear-
ing. Property owners may also pres-
ent their objections in writing prior to
or at the time of the hearing. The
Common Council will consider any
written or oral objections presented.
The Common Council may approve
the proposed certification at the hear-
ing.
No appeal may be taken as to the
amount of any certification adopted
unless a written objection is signed
by the property owner and filed with
the City Clerk prior to the certification
hearing, or presented to the Presi-
dent of the Common Council at the
hearing. Property owners may appeal
the certification to the district court,
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sec-
tion 429.081, by serving written no-
tice of the appeal upon the Mayor or
City Clerk within 30 days after the
adoption of the certification and filing
such notice with the district court
within 10 days after service upon the
Mayor or City Clerk.
Minnesota Statutes, Sections
435.193 to 435.195, allow municipal-
ities the option of deferring special
assessments. In Rochester, unpaid
administrative citations may be de-
ferred when the homesteaded prop-
erty is owned by a person 65 years of
age or older, by a person retired by
virtue of a permanent physical dis-
ber of the Minnesota National Guard
or other military reserves who is or-
dered into active military service, as
defined in Section 190.05, Subdivi-
sion 5b or 5c, as stated in the per-
son’s military orders, for whom it
would be a hardship to make pay-
ments. Application forms are avail-
able from the City Clerk’s office.
Please note that the application must
be filled out within 60 days of the date
of Council approval of the certification
of the unpaid administrative citations.
Dated this 10th day of May, 2022.

Washington
painting
up for sale
Value estimated
at $15M to $20M
BY MATTHEW STOLLE
Post Bulletin

WINONA — On Thursday
evening, “Washington
Crossing the Delaware,” a
renowned painting that has
been on display at Winona’s
Minnesota Marine Art
Museum for several years, will
be sold at Christie’s auction
house in New York.
If its estimated value is
any indication, it will fetch
millions, if not tens of
millions of dollars. Christie’s
has put the estimated value at
$15 million to $20 million.
When the sale was Photos by John Molseed / Post Bulletin

Artists say goodbye to downtown art gallery
Paige Kestenman, a specialist BY JOHN MOLSEED
in American painting at Post Bulletin
Christie’s.
“Washington Crossing the ROCHESTER

Delaware is one of those
images that has transcended
the artist, Emmanuel Leutz,”
Kestenman said. “It’s an image
that has become so essential
to the way that America
imagines its history.”
The painting, one of two
existing versions, depicts
then-Gen. George Washington
standing in a boat being rowed
across the frigid Delaware
River as they head to the
Battle of Trenton during the
American Revolutionary War.
But one person’s gain is
another institution’s loss.
The breathless headlines
created at the national level
by the impending sale have
overshadowed shifts unfolding
within Winona’s arts-oriented
community.
The famous painting is
owned by Winona couple Bob
Kierlin and Mary Burrichter.
Kierlin is founder of Fastenal,
a Fortune 500 company that
sells fasteners and other
hardware supplies.
Putting the Leutz painting
up for sale was part of a larger
decision by the couple to pull
all their loaned paintings from
the MMAM, according to local
media accounts. The collection
included paintings by Claude
Monet, Pablo Picasso, Vincent
van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe
and others.
Kierlin and Burrichter did
not respond to voice messages
requesting comment. But
in statements made to the
Winona Post last month,
Kierlin explained that the
decision to pull their holdings
from the Winona museum
stemmed from a conviction
that the MMAM has fallen
short of the couple’s hoped-for
economic development goals.
When it loaned its
collection of paintings to
the museum, the hope was

Some SEMVA artists’

downtown at the DoubleTree

For the volunteers and
artists, the closing is a
necessary but bittersweet
move, they said.
“It’s very uplifting,” said
Bernadine Jax, SEMVA artist
and board member. “I don’t
think there’s another space in
Rochester with this much art

“We love this space. I love

of cheating makes me
cringe. I always say I

always hoped I’d run into
Ryan again. He played in
a band, and I would try to
talk myself into going to
the venue he was playing
at just to “run into” him
again. I think about him
every day and try to let it
go! The problem is that I
dream about him at least
once a week, sometimes
more. It’s always exciting
to dream about him but
sad when I wake up. It’s
like we didn’t lose touch
or we somehow find a

the storybook romance
you and Ryan had as

that would draw as many
as 100,000 visitors a year.
The number of visitors
instead has hovered
around 30,000 visitors
a year, more than three
times fewer the number
of people hoped for.
“For all the money we
invested in it, it has not
had a big return in and
of itself,” Kierlin told
the Winona Post. ”So, we
thought, what could we
do to get more tourism in
Winona?”
The couple decided
to use their collection
as the foundation stone
for a proposed new
downtown music and art
gallery called Minnesota
Masterpiece Hall. The $35
million arts edifice would
include both a music hall
and visual gallery.
Some of their
collection will be
displayed in the
new gallery space
at Masterpiece Hall,
while others, such as
“Washington Crossing
the Delaware,” will
be sold to finance its
construction. The venue
would pair Sunday
afternoon musical
performances with
art exhibits featuring
paintings from the
couple’s collection.
“It should be a shot in
the arm for downtown on
Sunday,” Burrichter told
the Post.
The question is
whether the shift in
strategy will diminish

that has long punched
above its weight class
given its distance far
from a metro area. Or
“Washington Crossing the Delaware” has long been one of the main attractions at
the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona.
will the combination
create a synthesis
making Winona a greater
arts destination?
Roger Boulay, a Winona
State University assistant
professor and gallery
coordinator, said the
Leutz painting was a
“singular draw” to the
museum and a “very
popular piece.” The
community will miss it.
But he believes the
Masterpiece Hall, rather
than being a competitor
that will overshadow
the MMAM, could
complement the museum.
For out-of-towners,
it could change their
calculations for making
a trip to Winona, a
45-minute drive east from
Rochester.
Rather than a two-hour
drive for one hour of art
viewing at one venue,
families could make a
day of it: An hour spent
at the Minnesota Marine
Art Museum, then lunch,
followed by an afternoon
at the new hall, Boulay
said.
“I think there is room
for a variety of art
institutions in Winona,”
Boulay said. “The
Marine art museum
has brought a lot of
tourism to Winona, and
the Masterpiece Hall
will inevitably have
a different feel and
atmosphere and tenor
to it.
“It will make visiting
Winona richer,” he said.
For Scott Pollock, who
became the MMAM’s
new executive director in
January, all the change
and turmoil has felt like
“drinking from a fire
hydrant.”
He said the museum
will maintain its
“trajectory” and mission
as a smaller market
venue that engages
visitors “with work you
Post Bulletin file photo
don’t expect in those
spaces.”
In fact, the
circumstances could
present an opportunity
for the museum, he
said. He notes that
many public museums
and collectors have
collections that are
sitting in basements,
unseen by the public.
The MMAM offers
a destination and
showcase for them.
“I think that’s part of
the big story here. We
know that 95 percent of
most museum collections
never see the light of
day. And we are talking
about masters from
Monet to Picasso,”
Pollock said. “We want
to be seen as one of
the problem-solving
institutions that’s
working collaboratively
with all these other
museums around the
world.”

Dear Readers:
Whenever you get food
burned on a pot or pan,
try my nontoxic way
to clean it. Fill the pan
with enough water to
cover the bottom, add 3
tablespoons of baking
soda and simmer on
the stove until the
burned food comes
off. If you need more
grease-fighting power,
add one drop of mild
dishwashing liquid.
Baking soda is a useful

Dear Heloise: Today’s
paper had a question
about how messy it can
be to garden on a second
floor apartment patio.
HINTS FROM
HELOISE
I’m a diehard gardener
and wanted to add the
following tip:
Use old bath towels
or an old flat bedsheet
to spread out on the
patio under the project!
They are wonderful at
collecting debris and give
more room to spread out
the pots and dirt, with
zero mess left on the
patio. I use mine for all
sorts of messy projects,
like protecting a carpet
when painting, covering
my dining table when
kids paint and more. —

Dear Heloise: I enjoy
reading your helpful
hints in The Alpena
News. I have clipped
many of the tips that
were printed in that
publication and would
like to share one of
my own. We all receive
packages in the mail
that are shipped in
white plastic bags. I cut
the top off to empty the
contents, and when I
need to return an item,
I turn the bag inside out
so the previous labels are
not visible. I reuse these
bags to either return the
item or ship other items
through the mail. I have
done this many times
and find it to be a good
way to recycle. — Vicky

ollaboration is fuel
for possibility. It was
in preparing for a
recent worship service that
I was reminded of just how
energizing it is to work together.
The usual priorities that
unconsciously guide most of
what I do in a day are efficiency
and productivity. As it turns
out, these values make useful
companions from time to time,
but they aren’t great guides. A
lot of possibility gets lost when
I’m perpetually racing to non-
existent finish lines.
The planning process for
the aforementioned worship
service wasn’t about efficiency.
Who really knows whether we were good or bad?
A
man has died and the
mourners are gathered
for the funeral. The
pastor is being kindly
concerning the deceased,
and declares that “he was
an exemplary father, a hard
worker, and a good Christian.”
The widow leans over to one
of the children and whispers:
“Go back in the box and see if
it is your father in there.”
Ruh-ro; sounds like
trouble. The widow was
not in agreement with the
pastor’s assessment of her
late hubby. Perhaps he was
not nearly as fine a fellow as
the preacher thought. Perhaps
others in attendance also
wondered about the veracity
of the pastor’s words. We can
sometimes fool the public
about the kind of person we
are, but it’s tough to fool those
who actually live with us day
to day.

There are many hands where
declarer runs into bad luck and, as
a result, cannot make the contract,
regardless of what he does.
However, there are also many
other hands where declarer fails,
and the outcome is attributed to
bad luck -- but where subsequent
analysis reveals that he actually
contributed to his own demise.
For a good illustration, consider
this deal where South was in three
notrump and West led a heart.
Declarer took East’s king with the
ace and led a low club to dummy’s
jack. East won with the ace and
returned the heart deuce to
South’s nine and West’s ten.

West continued with the three
of hearts to the jack, but when
declarer next cashed the king of
clubs and West showed out, there
was no way to avoid going down
one. Altogether, East-West scored
three heart tricks and their two
black aces.
Bad luck, South could easily
say, but the plain fact is that he
himself blew the contract. With
proper care, he could have assured
three notrump regardless of how
the adverse cards were divided.
The correct play is to lead a
diamond to the ten at trick two
and return a low club to the king.
In the actual case, East cannot
afford to rise with the ace, so
South wins the trick. Next comes a
diamond to the king, followed by a
low spade from dummy. Again,
East cannot afford to go up with
the ace, and South’s queen wins.
Declarer then leads a club to the
jack to establish his ninth trick.
The outcome is certain to be
the same if West holds either or
both black aces. If he does, he
cannot safely return a heart, and
South has all the time he needs to
develop the game-going tricks.
Declarer’s aim throughout is to
prevent East from getting on lead
early enough to lead through the
J-9 of hearts.

or young adults, but not
always.
“Everyone’s symptoms

Judy Jones, a sarcoma

real hope was to lose just two
trump tricks, not three, and he
should have proceeded according-
ly, even though his chances were
relatively slim. The low trump lead
from dummy at trick two offered
no possibility of success.
Declarer should instead
have led a low club from dummy
at trick two to create a subsequent
entry to his hand. East presumably
would have won the club and
returned a heart. South would win
in dummy, ruff a club and lead a
spade toward the Q-6. Once he
did this, the defense could not win
more than two trump tricks and a
club, and the contract would come
rolling home.
This approach succeeds
whenever West’s spade holding is
A-J, K-J, A-K-9, or A-K-8. Declarer
must assume that one of these
four combinations was dealt to
West, as they are the only ones
that offer a chance to make the
contract. To ignore these possibili-
ties is equivalent to conceding
defeat.
When the Italians held the
North-South hands, they stopped
at two spades, making three for
140 points. At this table also the
trumps were mishandled, but
since the Italians were only in a
partscore, the proper play of the
suit was not critical.
Tomorrow: Stop, look and
think.

local hair salon manager has a
penchant for pinup-inspired garb
and all things vintage.
“After experiencing my first
full-on weekend at a 1950s era
event, I’ve never really come
back. You could say I’m lost in the
‘50s,” she says.
Nickole can often be found
antiquing, listening to vinyl on

Describe your style in 3-5
words.
Rockabilly, vintage, your
grandmother’s style.
How did you first become
interested in “historic”
clothing?
I think it stems from my love
for ‘50s music and cars. My
grandfather loved old cars and
instilled that passion in me at a
young age. I loved the confidence
that the pinup girls had — classy
yet sexy.
What’s your favorite fashion

The 1940-50s style dresses.
Where do you largely source
the contents of your retro

Instagram and have bought some
great prices online that way.
What does a typical day of
attire look like for you?
For a normal workday, I wear
pants and a snazzy top — either
a vintage bowling shirt or a fun
cardigan. I typically dress things
up with accessories like a brooch
or funky earrings. I have an
ungodly amount of eyeglasses
that I color-coordinate with my
outfit. I figure since I must wear
them to see, I might as well make
them interesting.
Favorite piece of clothing
you own?
Oh, that’s ever-changing! One
of my favorites is an orange and
cream polyester dress that my
grandmother made back in the
late ‘50s. I have a photo of her in
it even. She used to sew dresses
for me when I was younger, and
it reminds me of her and her
quirky sense of humor.
Any style icons / outlets you
seek inspiration from?
I’m all over the board on that, it

inspiration from the hairstyles

Which elements of your

comment on most?
My hair or eyeglasses. I work at
Salon Chic, so I can get away with
having over-the-top hair every
day because hair is our thing.
I typically have my hair up in
victory rolls.
In your opinion, what’s
the secret to finding one’s

Rock it! Life’s too short to
worry about others’ opinions. If
you love something, who cares if
someone else doesn’t? Those who
will appreciate and be inspired by
you are your people.
Anything unique about your
get-ready routine?
When I pin my hair up, I
typically use a hairnet. That
surprises most people because
they assume hair nets are for
lunch ladies.
Let’s talk tattoos. Which are
your favorite and/or hold the
most meaning?
My body art is like a large
poetic journal entry to me. Most
people don’t share their diary
entries, I don’t share my tattoo
meanings for that reason. I often
forget I am a tattooed individual
sometimes because it’s just a part

Collecting garden antiques
for backyard garden
A
s I get older I am
doing more of
just the backyard
gardening such as
growing veggies in a
giant size galvanized
wash tub. Great idea
for those who live in
apartments and condo,
though I am still a
homeowner.
I am also finding it
fun to decorate around
my giant wash tub of
veggies. I do like to
figure out this time of
the year what I would
like to add to my outside
area. So like most,
we go on the hunt for
new- or vintage-look
watering cans to not
only use but to hold
flowering plants. New
or vintage repurposed
chairs, benches and
old cupboards to use
as potting tables.
Waterproof wicker and
wrought iron are great
finds, and maybe all
you need is a bottle of
cleaner and a can of
spray paint and a cute
pillow. Group collections
of smaller items into
striking arrangements,
like the 1930s and ‘40s
garden tools arranged
with cute seed boxes
displayed on a metal
tabletop.
WHERE TO SHOP FOR
GARDEN ANTIQUES
Prices for garden
antiques can vary widely,
depending on age, rarity
and condition. Many
garden antiques such
as flowerpots, buckets,
watering cans and tools
can be spotted at antique
malls, thrift shops, flea-
markets, yard sales
and country auctions
for $5 to $40. Garden

At the Backyard Flea,
421 N. Huron Ave., Spring

says, “We have a good
supply of galvanized
pails, tubs and other
containers great for

course, we always have

all selling from $4-$285.
And inside, we have

any people face the
reality of living with
a mental illness. May
is the month of educating
those around us and upping

around mental health is an
understatement. After all,
mental health is an important

alone is reducing employees’
productivity and engagement
at work. According to a recent
study by Silver Cloud Health,
69% of the study’s participants
used one to five sick days when
feeling stressed, and 22% used
six to 10 sick days. On average,
32% of employees are taking
extra sick days to deal with
feelings of being overwhelmed
or stressed.
When it comes to workplaces
offering mental health services
or having a wellness program,
the results are alarming as
well. Of the respondents in
this study, 35% feel they are
not receiving the mental
healthcare they need, and one-
third do not have access to
mental health benefits through
their employer. Sadly, 9%
are concerned about stigmas

Contract talks at Red Wing leather firm stall

R
ED WING – After voting
down a final “best”
contract offer, workers at
the tanning subsidiary of Red
Wing Shoe Co. are prepared
to strike, if an agreement can’t
be reached.
The company and United
Food and Commercial
Workers Local 1189, which
represents 92 employees at
S.B. Foot Tanning Co. in Red
Wing, have been negotiating
since March 1. The 150-year-old

and other customers.
On April 27, the workers
voted on what the union
described as the company’s
“last, best and final” contact
offer. That offer was rejected
by a vote of 73-6. Later,
the employees voted to

authorize the possibility of a
strike.
That means the company and
the union are still looking for
ways to reach an agreement,
but a strike could happen at
any time.
“A strike is a last resort
situation,” said UFCW Local
1189 Representative Raymond
Gandy. “Ideally, we’d like to
speak to the employer and sit
down at the bargaining table to
reach an agreement.”
Representatives of the
company say their side is also
anxious to resolve the contract.
“We are disappointed that
we have not yet been able to
come to a new contract in our
negotiations with the United
Food and Commercial Workers
union that represents 92 of
our employees at S. B. Foot
Tanning Company in Red
Wing, Minnesota. We continue
to approach our ongoing
discussions in good faith to
seek terms that are fair to both
parties and reflective of our
decades-long relationship with
our employees and their union
representation,” wrote Red
Wing Shoe Co. Chief Marketing
Officer Dave Schneider.
Schneider added, “We
look forward to working
through these discussions
that ultimately affords us the
opportunity to continue to
provide a premium product
to consumers of both Red
Wing Shoe Company and the
brands of S.B. Foot Tanning
Company’s premium customer
base.”
Gandy said there are still
significant issues to resolve.
“Health care costs, not like
unlike many other industries,
continue to be a burden for
S.B. Foot members. After
three years of double digit
increases in insurance costs,
a lot of wage increases are
being absorbed by these health
care increases,” he said.”With
inflation where it is right
now, there is no way that the
members can possibly go
backwards in compensation.”
Gandy also said low staffing
combined with the physically
demanding work is wearing
down the employees.
“They have low morale due
to the feeling that they are only
worth the amount of leather,
the amount of a product they
put out in a day. It’s just kind
of a respect thing,” he said.
“People are pretty worn out.”
Founded as the Trout Brook
Tannery in 1872 by Silas B.
Foot and George Sterling,
S.B. Foot has been an employer
in Red Wings for 150 years.

Beware of Hot
Stock Tips
I’ve made a bunch of dumb
investments. When it comes
to stocks, my dumbest would
have to be buying some shares
on a tip from an acquaintance
at a party. Never a smart move.
I spent $850 on shares that I
bought for a bit over $21 each.

around $2 per share on a good
day. — E., online
The Fool responds: This is a
classic blunder. We all want to
stumble upon and invest in the
next Apple or Amazon in order
to get much wealthier.
If someone tells you about a
company and suggests that it’s
likely to perform amazingly
well, it’s naturally tempting
to buy some shares. But hold
on — you should research the
company first. For starters, is
it profitable? If not, why not?
Are investors excited about
what it might do, or what it’s
actually doing? Look into how
financially healthy it is — how
much cash and how much debt
does it have? Is its revenue
growing?
Also, think about the source
of any hot stock tip. How well
do you know the person, and
what do you really know about
their investing skills and track
record? For all you know, they
know little about the company,
but have blindly invested in
it themselves, hoping to get
wealthier. Even talking heads
on financial TV programs can
pitch investing ideas that turn
out badly.

OUR VIEW
Common sense will go
a long way in meeting
endemic COVID-19
D
epending on whose data you
trust, the United States has
surpassed 1 million COVID-
related deaths or will reach that
milestone within the next week.
Grim though that number may be,
it isn’t receiving a ton of attention.
Indeed, while COVID-19 cases are
surging in many parts of the country
— including Minnesota — people
seem far more concerned about the
collapsing stock market, soaring gas
prices and crowded flights to popular
summer vacation destinations.
In other words, people are ready to
be done with COVID-19, even though it
clearly isn’t done with us.
We get it. For more than two
years, the pandemic has dictated
our behavior, and we’ve had enough.
We want our kids to learn at school,
not at home. We want to eat at our
favorite restaurant on Friday night,
even if the weather is lousy and the
patio is closed. We want to meet face-
to-face with our friends, family and
co-workers. We want to see smiles, not
masks.
We’re almost there.
Experts disagree about how close
the world is to an official end to the
pandemic, but we clearly are much
closer to the end than to the beginning
— especially in the United States.
On April 26, the CDC announced
that nearly 6 in 10 Americans had
contracted COVID, and that number
grew in the next two weeks as a new
surge swept the nation.
But hospitalizations are down. Fewer
people are on ventilators. Deaths
are waning. Vaccines and infection-
acquired immunity appear to be
pushing us toward the point where
COVID is best described as “endemic,”
rather than pandemic.
Endemic COVID will be the new
normal, and while we’re all eager
for normalcy, we also must accept
that some aspects of life will not and
should not go back to the way they
were before COVID.
Endemic COVID, simply put,
means that the virus will always be
with us. Just as influenza and cold
viruses constantly circulate, COVID
will never disappear. It will surge,
wane and mutate. Some variants
will sicken millions but cause few
serious problems. Others will be less
contagious but far more dangerous.
Researchers, doctors and
pharmaceutical companies will craft
annual vaccines to combat the virus.
Some of those vaccines will be highly
effective. Some will not. Many millions
of people will get those vaccines as
soon as they are available. Millions
will refuse them, even if they are free.
Some will regret that decision later, as
they lie in ICU beds.
In other words, people will make
their own choices and live with the
consequences — and there’s no excuse
for making uninformed decisions.
When COVID hit, it was the great
unknown, and our elected leaders and
health experts had to step up and make
tough choices that affected everyone.
Business closures, mask mandates and
remote learning were implemented
out of an abundance of caution, and
we have no doubt that these measures
saved hundreds of thousands of lives
while scientists worked tirelessly
to develop effective treatments and
vaccines.
But we’d argue that endemic COVID
cannot and will not be managed via
government mandate. It will be up to
everyone to make smart decisions to
protect their own health and the health
of others.
That means no more “pushing
through” colds and/or flu symptoms.
Gone are the days when it was
acceptable, even commendable, to take
some medicine and show up for school,
or for work at an office, retail store or
restaurant despite a sore throat and a
runny nose. For the foreseeable future,
every cold should be viewed as a likely
case of COVID, which means you stay
home and avoid every unnecessary
up-close interaction.
Of course, this recommendation
must cut both ways. Employers will
need to give their workers the freedom
to stay home when necessary — which
means some level of paid sick leave,
even for part-time workers. Yes, a
small percentage of employees will
likely take unfair advantage of paid
sick time, but that’s going to be part of
the new normal with endemic COVID.
Then there’s the issue of face
masks. While some level of mandates
will likely continue at hospitals and
clinics, and short-term mandates will
happen in classrooms when schools
encounter sudden surges (as Rochester
is currently experiencing), we don’t
expect any return of national masking
requirements on public transit or in
large public venues.
Instead, we expect people will be
left to make their own decision about
what’s best for themselves and for
those around them — and we hope
that this freedom will de-politicize
the mask issue. In order for that to
happen, we need to stop judging each
other.
Someone who wears a mask on a
plane or while shopping at Target
shouldn’t be seen as being pro-
mandate, pro-Biden or anti-Trump.
Perhaps they have a pre-existing
condition, are simply cautious or had
COVID a week ago and are doing what
they can to look out for others. A mask
is a medical device — nothing more.
Likewise, those who don’t wear a
mask in public venues shouldn’t be
seen as reckless crusaders, Fauci-
haters or Trump admirers. They
should be seen as people who have
thoughtfully assessed their own level
of risk — and the risk they potentially
pose to others — and are doing what
they believe is best.
Of course, this kind of tolerance
and individual freedom only works
if the vast majority of people make
responsible, thoughtful choices. Every
time a maskless, coughing person
boards a plane or attends a concert,
there’s a risk of super-spreading a
new COVID variant that, in a worst-
case scenario, would necessitate
government action along the lines of
what we’ve experienced for the past 30
months.
Let’s not go there.

green polar bear who was a boy.
As we grow up, we are taught that
everything can fit nicely into one of
two categories: male or female. We
speak to peers in different ways based
on their gender. For instance, it is
common to praise men and boys in
regards to their actions while women
and girls are praised in regards to
their appearances. Reinforcing gender
through language can be internalized
and harm those who may not identify
with the label they are given.
Most languages can be sorted into
three categories based on their level
of gender distinction, according to
a 2012 study. In gendered languages,
such as Spanish, genders are assigned
to all nouns and given pronouns.
On the other hand, natural
gendered languages only assign
gender through pronouns and certain
nouns. For example, English has
options of he/she/they pronouns to
denote gender and gendered nouns
like waiter and waitress.
Lastly, there are genderless
languages which have very little
gender distinction for nouns. For
instance, the Finnish pronoun hän
is gender neutral and can be used to
refer to a person of any gender.
The language that one speaks has
real world impacts on how they view
themselves and others. Countries
with genderless languages have
higher rates of gender equality,
gender inclusive public attitudes,
and lower gender pay gaps than
countries with gendered languages,
according to a Journal of Politics
study. Additionally, a 2020 Journal
of Personality & Social Psychology
study found that of 44 languages, 60%
of the gendered languages exhibit
gender prejudice while only 25% of
the genderless languages do.

FOUR ‘YES’ VOTES TO GET OUR SUPPORT
Given a large number of candidates
for the 1st Congressional District,
maybe we need an acid test to narrow
the field. Voting yes to all four below
reflects the majority views of the
population.
1. You will vote for term limits.
79-81% of Americans support term
limits. Members of Congress make
promises to voters when they are
elected but as soon as they get into
office, they must begin raising money
for reelection. Limiting to two terms,
there is no incentive for members to
raise money in their second term.
2. You will vote for direct popular
vote elections.
62% of Americans support direct
elections rather than the Electoral
College. A president being elected
without the majority of the popular
vote creates some distrust. Having the

In English, we often use forms
of nouns known as the generic
masculine. For these words the
gender-neutral form is the same as
the masculine form. For example,
a woman can be an actor, but a
man cannot be an actress. Generic
masculine forms set men as the
default and cause gender bias
according to a study conducted by
Tel Aviv University. For example,
a 2012 study found that women are
five times less likely to apply for
traditionally male held jobs when
they are described with generic
masculine terms in comparison to
gender neutral terms. Changing our
language to truly neutral terms can
eliminate this bias.
Gender-inclusive language has
positive impacts on communities, so
we should strive to be more inclusive
even in everyday conversation. With
these findings considered, I propose
a more widespread use of they/them
pronouns to be used in American
English. Replacing the generic he
pronoun and he/she pronouns opens
the door for a more inclusive and
diverse society.
We must retrain our brains to
not assign gender to each person
that we see — appearances do not
always match gender identities. Be
intentional about the language you
use. Take the advice that we tell our
children: Think before you speak.
Putting in the work to retrain our
brains may have effects on our ideas
of gender as we work to be more
inclusive of trans and nonbinary
people.
Language reflects our culture, and
our culture is changing. It is time for
our language to catch up. Working
towards a less gendered language
can help us expand our thinking to
include transgender and nonbinary
people as well as reach equality for
people of all genders.

3. You will vote to make Election
Day a national holiday.
59% of Republicans and 71% of
Democrats support the measure. We
should be celebrating our democracy.
Making Election Day a national
holiday will make sure all can vote.
64% of Americans favor voting by
mail which also increases turnout.
4. You will vote for making our tax
system fair and simple.
Tax reform: most Americans feel
higher-income individuals should pay
more and the tax system should be
simpler. The wealthy have the money
to lobby congress for special rules.
The simpler the tax code is, the fairer
it is likely to be.

Opinion
If the Court loses its legitimacy, can its authority be far behind?
T
o the Honorable
Clarence Thomas,
associate justice of
the Supreme Court of the
United States:
Dear Sir:
Have you ever met
your wife?
Yes, it’s an impudent
question, but it seems
justified by the speech
you gave Friday at a
judicial conference in
Atlanta and a question-
and-answer session
that followed. In an
obvious reference to the
bombshell leak of a draft
opinion overturning Roe
v. Wade, you bemoaned
that institutions are
being “bullied” and
said the judiciary is
threatened if people are
unwilling to “live with
outcomes we don’t agree
with.”
You said this despite
the fact that your bride
of 35 years, conservative
activist Virginia “Ginni”
Thomas, made headlines
earlier this year when
it was revealed she
schemed with the Trump
White House to keep
him in power despite
his election defeat. She
echoed his baseless
claims of fraud and even
joined the Jan. 6 mob
that rallied to overturn
the election, though she
claims she broke off
LEONARD
PITTS
from them before they
stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Mrs. Thomas, then,
it might fairly be said,
is a poster child for
those who would bully
institutions or refuse
to live with outcomes
they dislike. For you to
raise those concerns
with a straight face
and no mention of her
name suggests that
either the two of you
have not been properly
introduced or that you
are a man of staggering
hypocrisy and deep
intellectual dishonesty.
One would hate to find
those qualities in a man
overseeing traffic court,
much less in one sitting
on the Supreme Court.
Here’s the thing, sir:
There are rules. The
adherence to them, the
ability to trust them, is
what allows a society to
function. Some of the
rules are written, others
are not, but the fact
that they aren’t makes
them no less critical.
Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, left, sits with his wife and
conservative activist, Virginia Thomas, while he waits to speak on Oct. 21, 2021, at
the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC.
One such unwritten
rule is that the collegial
confidentiality of the
high court is sacrosanct.
So yes, it’s unfortunate
some leaker leaked.
But he or she is
hardly the first person
to violate the court’s
unwritten norms. One of
your colleagues occupies
a seat stolen for him
from President Obama.
Another occupies a
seat she was crammed

into eight days before
the 2020 election by
the same Republicans
who had said that
nine months out was
too close to Election
Day 2016 to consider
Obama’s nominee.
Some transparently lied
when they testified in
confirmation hearings
that they respected
Roe as settled law. And
really, sir, isn’t it a bit
unseemly for the wife
of a Supreme Court
justice to be part of a
conspiracy to overturn
an election? Or for him
to fail to recuse himself
from any cases arising
therefrom?
As Americans, we have
traditionally respected
Supreme Court rulings
even when they were
godawful, even when
they set the nation
back, because however
dumb or dreadful they
were, we considered the
court itself an apolitical
and duly constituted
tribunal. In a word, it
was legitimate. But in
their bare knuckles,
end-justifies-the-means
approach to the court,
conservatives have
devastated that bit of
civic faith.
Small wonder a
September Gallup poll
found approval of the
court at 40 percent,
the lowest Gallup has
ever recorded, and
down sharply from 58
percent the year before.
One cringes to think
where it stands right
now. And one wonders:
If the Court loses its
legitimacy, can its
authority be far behind?
In the face of that
question, your issue
is that an anonymous
leaker violated
confidentiality? Sir,
maybe that person just
wonders why he or she
should be required to
respect the rules.
It doesn’t seem like
anyone else is.
