Marso’s book finds grace notes in Klinefelter tragedy by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
W h e n Andy Marso was 15, he heard all about the tragic murder of Brian K l i n e f e l t e r, a young St. Klinefelter Joseph police officer who was murdered at a road stop on a bitterly cold night 20 years ago. Little did Marso know at that time that 18 years later he would begin to write a book about that night and its long-time consequences, both bad and good. The book was published Jan. 29, exactly 20 years after Klinefelter was shot to death. Marso’s book wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for a man named Doug Thomsen,
the barber-friend of Marso’s father, Harry. One day, a few years ago, Thomsen was talking with Harry about the frantic, frightening chase that followed Klinefelter’s murder. Knowing Harry’s son, Andy, is a journalist living in Topeka, Kan., he asked him if Andy would consider writing a book about that terrible night. Thomsen knew first-hand just how terrible it was. After shooting Klinefelter, the killer drove to a neighborhood in St. Cloud where he entered a house and took its owner, Doug Thomsen, hostage, forcing him to drive, then later ordering him into the trunk as the killer continued to drive around. Marso autographed copies of his book Jan. 30 at the Barnes and Noble in St. Cloud. Accompanied by his mother, Virginia, well-wishers chatted warmly with Marso about his Marso • page 5

City approves ‘diversion’ for low-level alcohol offenses by Logan Gruber operations@thenewsleaders.com
At the Feb. 1 city council meeting, a “diversion” was approved for low-level alcohol offenses for Klein underage consumption. “The St. Cloud city attor-
ney’s office contacted us about diverting some of these firsttime alcohol offenders out of the justice system and into alcohol education or treatment programs,” said Police Chief Joel Klein. Klein added the program would only affect those between the ages of 18-20 who are first-time offenders, and who violate the underage drinking law. If they violate other laws at the same time
(such as fleeing police, disorderly conduct or drug use) or have previous convictions, they would not qualify for the diversion path. The purpose of the diversion is to reduce the amount of time and effort spent in trying comparatively minor alcohol cases, thus saving limited resources for more severe criminal cases. After an eligibility screening, the accused is offered the chance to
accept alcohol education or treatment. If the person does, then cases are removed from an active criminal status and made “inactive.” Upon successful completion of the program, the case is dismissed, thereby allowing the accused to clear his or her police and court records. If the accused does not successfully complete the program, the case is made active and scheduled for trial. Alcohol • page 3
KC free-throw competition New warming house a hit yields seven winners by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
Warmer weather seemed to bring a few more participants to the annual Knights of Columbus basketball free-throw championship Jan. 31. More than 20 children participated in the competition. As participants registered and started to take their practice shots, the All Saints Academy upper-floor gym was filled with excited voices and bouncing balls as children waited to compete for trophies and parents took a seat in the rows of waiting chairs to watch the event. Brother and sister Luke and
Abby Tillotson have participated in previous competitions. “It’s a good time,” Luke said. “It’s something fun to do in the winter.” “Basketball is a true passion of mine and brought me back to compete again,” Abby said. “I love to play basketball.” This was the second year Abraham Berg-Arnold participated in the contest. “It’s fun and something to do,” Berg-Arnold said. Seven winners, girls and boys ages 9 to 14, finished as champions at the local level, making them now eligible to Winners • page 4

A sign stating the rules for camping in Millstream stands at the entrance to the campsites. they had heard from families who want to go down to the campsites or to use the park but don’t go down there due to the trash or the types of people staying there. “If the council does decide to close the campground,” said Public Works Director Terry Thene, “the county is looking at possibly putting in a
campground by Kraemer Lake (southwest of St. Joseph) so camping won’t be eliminated in the area.” The council ultimately voted to close the campground indefinitely and immediately, with the possibility of reopening it depending on what future plans the park board has for Millstream.
The open house will begin with a short presentation about major concepts within the plan. Some of the ideas presented for discussion include an improved access road, a swimming beach, restroom facilities, a fishing pier, youth-group camping facilities, picnic shelters, educational programs, trails, some type of boat access and an open playing field.
People can come to the meeting any time during the open hours to view the plans and give their opinions. Input can be provided in several ways. That includes emailing your comments to parkinfo@co.stearns.mn.us, contacting the park department at 320-255-6172, participating in the public-input meeting or attending the meeting and completing a comment card.

He also said the St. Cloud city attorney has worked with St. Cloud State University on the program and it has been successful. Both the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s
University have been given a presentation on the program and are in favor of enacting it. Participation in the diversion will cost the offender money, and for each person who is sent through diversion from the St. Joseph Police Department, the city of St. Joseph will receive $25 back for the cost of dealing with the case. The program was passed by the city council.

After some discussion among the St. Joseph City Park Board, members recommended to the city council to close the campground at Millstream Park during the Feb. 1 council meeting. “As we are planning for the future of the park,” said city council member Matt Killam, “the campground isn’t part of the family atmosphere.” Killam is the council liaison to the park board. Millstream, located at 101 Fifth Ave. N.W., has had camping available for many years for free, with sites including campfire rings and electrical hookups. The council asked St. Joseph Police Chief Joel Klein to weigh in on the issue before deciding to act on the Park Board’s recommendation. “We’ve been running across issues at the campsites,” Klein said. “It’s become a bit of a homeless shelter. There have been fights, alcohol, drugs, garbage and tent cities.” Both Klein and Killam said

Marso from front page new book and his life.
The book
Marso’s book is entitled The Klinefelter Legacy: A Story of Faith, Family and Forgiveness. In one way, it’s a grim and disturbing account of a coldblooded murder, filled with sadness – a young cop, only 25, struck down in the line of duty while a wife and their newborn daughter awaited his return back home. But, on the other hand, much of the book is uplifting and even inspiring, and that, Marso said, is because of the extraordinary people so stricken by Klinefelter’s death who, in time, found solace and peace through their religious faith, their ever-extending family bonds and, yes, even forgiveness of the young men who committed the awful crime. “That is why the book is ultimately inspirational,” said
Marso in an interview with the Newsleader, after his booksigning session. “It’s because those people are so incredible and how they reacted to what happened with such grace. There were terrible things that happened, but these folks responded, with forgiveness over bitterness.” One of the good outcomes, thanks to Klinefelter’s loved ones, colleagues and well-wishers, was the creation of the Brian Klinefelter Foundation, which offers scholarships to those studying law enforcement and that promotes bonding between adults and young people through healthy activities. A major goal of the Foundation is to help troubled kids grow up healthy and happy through positive influences and guidance in their lives, something Brian Klinefelter would have heartily approved.
The horrific night
Shortly after 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29, a liquor store in Albany was robbed by three young men in a stolen pickup.
It was a brutally cold night with a raging wind-chill factor. Officer Klinefelter was just finishing his patrol shift in St. Joseph when he heard there had been a robbery in Albany and the culprits may be heading toward St. Joseph. Klinefelter decided to stay on past his shift’s end to watch for a vehicle on Hwy. 75. At about 9:15 p.m., Klinefelter spotted the pickup with three young men inside. He turned on his lights and siren and stopped the pickup on Hwy. 75 by the intersection of CR 133 in east St. Joseph. He approached the pickup. The man in the driver’s seat, Thomas Kantor, raised a handgun and fired repeatedly, hitting Klinefelter five times, causing him to die right there at the scene. The pickup then fled, ending up in a west St. Cloud neighborhood, where the three men fled on foot. One of the men, Kantor, walked into a residence and, threatening the man of the house with his gun, forced the man (Doug Thomsen) to get into his own Thunderbird and drive with
Kantor crouched down and telling Thomsen what to do and where to go. After driving toward the St. Stephen area, Kantor ordered Thomsen to stop and then forced him to get into the trunk. Then Kantor took the wheel and kept driving as Thomsen wondered where they were going and what would become of him. Finally, the car came to a stop. Thomsen heard a gunshot but had no idea what had happened until a couple of minutes later when all kinds of law enforcement arrived on the scene. They opened the trunk to a very much relieved Thomson. At that point, he learned what had happened. A female officer had stopped the Thunderbird near Municipal Park on Benton Drive in Sauk Rapids. The driver (Kantor) kept walking toward the officer with a gun in his hand. She told him to drop it; he wouldn’t and kept approaching, raising the gun at her near her squad car. She had no choice. She fired her own gun and Kantor dropped dead. Meantime, in the St. Cloud
5 neighborhood, the two other suspects (Kenneth Roering and Brian Ederhoff) were captured while shivering under the deck of a residence. Both later received 16-year prison terms. Klinefelter’s senseless death shook the entire state. Surviving him were his wife, Wendy, and their 3-month-old daughter Katelyn – not to mention his immediate family in St. Cloud and so many friends, acquaintances and professional colleagues. Marso’s book, based on scores of interviews and research of documents, unfolds the entire story right up until the present time. Klinefelter’s parents, Dave and Lois, still live in St. Cloud and are very active in the Brian Klinefelter Foundation. Wendy married a St. Cloud police officer, John Tragiai, and they have a son and daughter, in addition to 19-year-old Katelyn, Wendy and Brian’s daughter, who is now a student at the University of Minnesota. Brian’s brothers, Jason and Greg, have also served with honor as officers Marso • back page

Our View
Iowa proves polling’s follies, reveals political kaleidoscope If the Iowa Caucus Day proved anything, it’s that these annoying polls are about as accurate as horoscopes in the National Enquirer. Polls may gauge what is on prospective voters’ minds, but they rarely predict precisely who will actually go to vote and who they will vote for. That’s especially true of caucuses. For weeks leading up to the big day in Iowa, TV commentators showed a mania for polls. Hyper-gabby pundits expounded poll results ‘round the clock. It became a flurry of lunacy – polls as gospel. Well, along came Iowa. Polls did not predict a virtual dead-on tie between Clinton and Sanders; they did not predict that Cruz would win so majorly, and they did not predict third-place Rubio would come so close to second-place Trump. Not hard to fathom. Caucuses are not polling places. They are meetings that often turn into a tug-of-war that goes on between supporters of candidates, and some supporters decide, during give-and-take, to change their minds as to which candidate their caucus should favor. Add to that the fact many people who respond to polls do not go to caucuses or polling places, and poll pundits should be ashamed of the great stock they put in polls as if they’re accurate oracles, harbingers of truth. Besides polling nonsense, another thing the caucuses proved is what a strange brew American politics has become. The mix is like a crazy kaleidoscope of shards of beliefs and attitudes. There are anti-establishment factions, a backlash against traditional politicians, a total mistrust of this or that political party, an anti-Washington anger, a preference for the “new” at any cost. There are those who support Clinton as a known quantity with a lifetime of experience; but many others who spurn Clinton just because of her experience. There are left-wing socialist Sanders fans fired up by income inequality and the wish for universal health care; there are right-wing evangelicals dedicated to strict moral values and opposed to modern social changes who support Cruz. There are people, including some evangelicals and leftof-center folks, ready to give politically incorrect Trump a chance at the presidency. One thing is clear from this mish-mash of attitudes, mistrust, anger and frustration: the two-party system may be giving way to populism, typified by Sanders on the left, Cruz on the right, Trump somewhere in the middle. It will be interesting to see what pattern this political kaleidoscope will present to us at election time. Usually, populist clamor-and-commotion gives way to sober reassessments by political operatives and voters of just who is electable and who is not. Sanders is almost certainly going to be left at the wayside as a nice old guy with some good ideas but who is ultimately unelectable. Soon, Trump’s feisty razzle-dazzle might also fade and fizzle as the bankruptcy of his sweeping solutions becomes apparent. Thus, it will probably be Clinton and Rubio – both more or less moderates – who will face off in the presidential election. As the Big Election approaches, Republicans and Democrats, desperate to gain the White House, will overlook their dislikes for any candidate, as long as they think that candidate is – at least – electable. And that will be the key – electability. Meantime, all the tiresome polling will be an exercise in futility, statistical navel-gazing, something to be ignored or taken with a grain of salt.

Opinion His girlfriend wasn’t wowed by his sailboat savvy (Dear Readers: In the Jan. 22 Newsleader, I, Dennis Dalman, wrote a column about neighbors and me doing dumb things and challenged readers to send in stories about their dumber moments. One reader, a St. Joseph resident, responded with the following essay, but he begged me not to use his name because, as he put it, “No need to have the family name tarnished by stupidity.” Gotta love it. Usually, the Newsleader will not publish anonymous submissions, but the man did include his name, we emailed back and forth, and in this case I’m going to make an exception so as to spare the poor guy’s family from perpetual tarnishment.) During my sophomore year in college, I started dating a young woman. I was looking forward to seeing her at a gathering of friends for a belated Fourth of July party at a lake cabin owned by a friend’s family. After the first night of bonfires and beers, I was the first one up, ready to hit the lake so I could impress my new girlfriend with my sailing ability. ( I was actually a novice sailor but confident in my abilities as I had sailed Mille Lacs several times with the owner of the boat ). I hooked up the sailboat and readied a cooler for an early afternoon of sailing on what promised to be an idyllic
summer day. My friend and I agreed to raise the mast on the boat at the cabin rather than at the lake. I was driving, pulling the boat. My friend sat in the backseat, my girlfriend was in the passenger seat. I drove carefully, not wanting to jar the trailer too much as the boat wasn’t tied down. I passed carefully around several potholes and thought we were making good progress. Until . . . KA-WUMP!! I stopped the car and we all got out to look things over and for the life of us, we couldn’t figure out what caused the noise. Back in the car, on our way, smoothly down the road . . . KA-WUMP!! This time, I was on high alert and watching the rear-view mirror. What I saw took a few seconds to register. It was white and big and shouldn’t have been there. It must be something that fell out of the sky! It was, it dawned on me, the bottom of the sailboat . . . After my heart started beating again, I got out of the car to see that boat resting gently in the middle of a gravel road. We (my friend and I) scratched our heads for a bit trying to figure out what had happened. Here was the car and trailer; there was the sailboat. No clue as to how the boat came off. Until my
girlfriend pointed skyward at the power line that crossed the road. She’d seen it unfold but sat demurely, certain we had done this before and all would be fine. Turns out, power lines are not designed for roadway clearances for a sailboat on a trailer with its mast raised. After crawling out of the hole I had dug for myself in my humiliation, I helped rouse some friends still sleeping off the beers from the night before and with three on a side we easily hoisted the boat to its proper place on the trailer. We arrived at the boat ramp and launched without further complications. I’m happy to say that day’s sailing was the most memorable and perfect day of sailing I have ever had. A gentle breeze, sun that sparkled on the waves and a pretty girlfriend sitting across from me. A perfect day (as good as the day, so many years later, that same girlfriend – my wife – and our girls took their first sailboat ride in the waters of the Apostle Islands under the watchful eye of the captain – me, manning the helm). Somehow I can’t recall if we lowered the mast for the remainder of the trip to the boat ramp. But if you ever want to go sailing on a a lake, do remember to raise the mast AFTER you pass under any power lines.
Letter to the editor
Resident asks others to request full information on food labels Mary Ann Graeve, St. Joseph As indicated in a very informative editorial in the Jan. 22 Newsleader, there is a growing effort being made by the large food industries to lobby congress for a law that would make food labeling of GMO’s illegal. If there is no harm to us eating these foods why would the industry
want food labeling hidden from the general public? As we know, food is at the very base of our health and welfare. What is in our food seems like such a basic right. It seems “we the people” must counterbalance the powerful food lobby with our request for full information on food labels. It seems a quick and easy way to
do this is to pick up our cellphones or landlines and contact our elected representatives letting them know how important this issue is to us. The staff at these offices will report your vote: Amy Klobuchar – 202-228-2186 Al Franken – 202-224-5641 Tom Emmer – 763-241-6848 Thanks again to the Newsleader for such helpful information.
Patience, patience, patience my younger ones I’m sure this has happened to you. You go to the grocery store and when you are finished you get into a checkout lane to pay and leave. Sometimes, like me, you get into the wrong lane. Just the other day I did it again. I got into the wrong lane for checkout. Things were moving along smoothly when suddenly the line stopped. I looked and saw an elderly lady trying to pay for her groceries. She was having difficulty figuring out how to use the equipment for her credit card. Even with the cashier helping, she just couldn’t get the thing to work. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the card passed through and she was able to get her groceries and leave. Now me, ever the patient one, stood there and waited for the ceremony to be completed so I could pay and go home. I did pay and as I went to my car I was struck by the events I had just witnessed. I was fuming and fussing about being inconvenienced when I came to realize maybe the lady probably couldn’t help what had just happened. Maybe she was doing her best. Maybe I was wrong for being impatient. If we are fortunate enough to live to an old age, we all slow down. Our agility
Ron Scarbro Guest Writer suffers. Our comprehension skills start to slow as well. As for me, I have recently developed a very close and personal relationship with some of the itis cousins. My closest is Arthur. His relatives are Rheumatoid, Osteo, Psoriatic, Cole and countless others. If I am true to myself, I know there are probably times when youngsters wait in line behind me. When I think about it, I am embarrassed by my reaction to the elderly lady in the grocery checkout lane ahead of me. That could have just as easily been me. The same thing happens sometimes when driving. There are times when someone camps in the passing lane and refuses to allow traffic to get by. They want to go slower than you do. Often the driver is elderly. Many times they seem to be hanging onto the steering wheel with both hands with their attention straight ahead not being aware of any-
body or anything else. It can be infuriating. Personally I also drive much slower than I did in my youth. One reason is I get much better gas mileage, plus I find it easier on me not having to compete with other traffic on the highway. But I do move over to the far right lane and have traveled this way for several years. As for us older people, I think it’s important we, because we can, pick and choose our grocery shopping times as well as our travel times. I don’t want to compete for space in the grocery store or on the highway. When people have to get to work, I prefer to let them have the roads. Also I try to do my grocery shopping during the week instead of on the weekends. I don’t have to get to work and I have the time during the week for my chores. I would much prefer to be still lounging in my pjs while others are fighting rush-hour traffic. The message to all of us, including me, is to try to be a little more patient with older people. Believe me, they would much rather be moving quicker. I remember when Mickey Mantle retired he said, “I still run as hard as I ever did, I just don’t get there as quick.” That’s probably true of me and most older people.

Marso from page 5 for the St. Cloud Police Department. “I want to give a major thank you to all who allowed me to interview them (for this book) and the courage they showed in opening themselves up,” Marso said. “I couldn’t have written this book without them.” The Klinefelter Legacy: A Story of Faith, Family and Forgiveness is available on amazon.com, from North Star Press (its publisher), at Barnes and Noble in St. Cloud and also at “Keepers,” the law-enforcement supply store owned by the Klinefelters on Division Street in St. Cloud.
Marso’s Life
Born in St. Cloud, Marso grew up on the north side and graduated from Cathedral High School in 2000, then began studying journalism at the University of Kansas-Lawrence. During a summer break from college, he worked as a reporter/feature writer for the St. Joseph and Sartell Newsleaders. During his Kansas schooling years, Marso was dealt a terrible blow when he developed a vicious form of meningitis, the Bacterial Type B form of the viral disease. There was no vaccine to fight that form of meningitis back then, although, fortunately, there are now two vaccines against it. Marso was on the brink of death for a long time. For three weeks he was in a coma. Because the disease had compromised his circulation, the

tissue on his fingers and toes became so damaged, they had to be amputated. He spent three months in a burn unit at Kansas City Medical Center, recovering slowly. Then he had to do a year of physical and occupational therapy. He was 22 at the time. That horrific and painful experience led to Marso’s first book, Worth the Pain, which detailed his struggle, his recovery and his re-adaptation to life, including hiking in the Swiss Alps and in the Brazilian rain forest, among other intrepid adventures. That book was published in 2013. Marso succeeded in earning his journalism degree. He is now a writer for the Kansas Health Institute News Service. Marso said he will likely write another book, maybe a novel next time around.
Winter dance set for Feb. 13 by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
If you are interested in getting out to enjoy a night of Big Band music, than you might want to attend the Winter Dance Feb. 13. The dance will take place from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Church of St. Joseph Parish Center’s Heritage Hall. It will include a dance lesson at 6:30 p.m., followed by big band, swing, fox trot and jazz music played by the Jazz/ Combo band from 7-9 p.m. There will also be dessert and coffee. Organizer Nancy Ebel said this is a social event sponsored by the St. Joseph Parish.
“Our purpose in sponsoring this event is to provide a venue for live music and dancing,” Ebel said. “What could be more fun than dancing in the middle of a Minnesota winter?” Dance instructors will be Steve and Nancy Streng from the St. Cloud Ballroom Dance Club. Attendees can learn a
new dance, spend some time dancing, or just come and enjoy listening to the Big Band music. This is the second year the event is being held. Last year about 150 people attended the dance event. Cost of the event is $3 for adults or $5 for couples. Children are free.
