War continues in Collegeville Township by Stuart Goldschen
The peaceful, bucolic township of Collegeville has gone to war, and there’s little chance of peace before the end of June. An angry, insistent group of township residents have taken to the streets to prevent the installation of an asphalt plant and the operation of a gravel-crushing facility in their midst. They fear an attack on their environment and a threat to their health and safety. The residents’ declared enemy is Bauerly Bros. Inc., a Sauk Rapids gravel and asphalt company, that has already begun work at an existing Collegeville gravel pit. The pit is located on Stearns County Road 51 between St. John’s University and Big Watab Lake, about six miles west of St. Joseph.
Bauerly has leased the pit to do neighboring road work this summer for Stearns County. The firm began a controversial, 24-hour gravel-crushing operation there and is seeking a permit to construct an adjoining asphalt plant. Peace attempts by the township’s board of supervisors have proved fruitless to date, and both sides continue to face each other in an entrenched stalemate. Irate residents near the pit, first took up arms against Bauerly when the firm moved in to operate there during the week of May 22. Some 50 front-line opponents armed themselves with homemade posters and demonstrated in front of the photo by Stuart Goldschen site for two days during the Collegeville township residents demonstrate to stop gravel-crushing operation and proposed asphalt plant near their Memorial Day weekend.

Fare for All keeps growing by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
The Fare For All Express food program continues to grow. Organizer Amanda Roles said volunteers sold 666 packs of food, 573 a la carte items and served about 409 households.

She said Fare for All will bring two large trucks next month. For the May distribution, they brought one large and one smaller truck. “We continue to grow and grow,” Roles said. “What’s happening at Resurrection is eye-popping.” Organizers are making new plans for the June distribution. If weather permits, a new sidewalk will be installed to help with the Fare for All distribution flow. Organizers are also looking at putting in a new set of double doors instead of the single door that is currently there. They are seeking donations to help fund this cause. Roles would like to extend a huge thank you to the volunteers who made this distribution possible even in the misting rain. “You are greatly appreciated,” she said. Roles said they are seeking
volunteers at the next distribution. Volunteers can sign up at the following link- http:// w w w. s i g n u p g e n i u s . c o m / go/8050E48A4AE2AA46-volunteer, by contacting Roles at rolesamanda@gmail.com or by calling Mary Plafcan at 320249-5718. If you would like to donate to the cost of the double doors, contact Roles at her email address. Fare for All aims to provide affordable, healthy foods to all. The program is meant to supplement people’s grocery purchases and provides produce and meat items that many might not be able to otherwise afford – often at up to a 40-percent discount of grocery-store prices. The program is open to everyone and does not require any registration. Future distribution dates are June 9, July 7, Aug. 4, Sept. 15, Oct. 14, Nov. 10 and Dec. 8.

Our View
Care for veterans must match our rhetoric
It would be interesting to know how many speakers at Memorial Day ceremonies across this country mentioned the explosive news about how some veterans of our wars have died while waiting endlessly for treatments. That tragic, unforgivable fact was surely an elephant in the room at many of the ceremonies. The disgrace was only underlined by all the heartfelt tributes to veterans and how much they deserve our undying gratitude. The gratitude should include the very best possible post-service medical and psychological care. Otherwise, all of the tributes and thanks amount to nothing much more than lip service. The top management in the Phoenix, Ariz. Veterans Affairs Health Care system devised an elaborate scheme to hide the fact 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait for months even to just consult with a doctor. At least 40 veterans died while patiently waiting for care. The jerks who ran that center had two lists: a fake waiting list designed to show watchdogs in Washington, D.C. that all was going just fine; and a real waiting list that shows waiting times can easily last more than a year. The Veterans Administration mandates patients must be seen in a timely manner, from 14 to 30 days. Obviously, some top officials, at least in Phoenix, not only scoffed at that mandate; they developed an elaborate system to sabotage it. Other stories about inexcusably long waits – and deaths – are surfacing from other areas of the country, and it’s the most disturbing news. Disturbing that these men and women, who sacrificed so much, are treated with such dismissive carelessness. There is absolutely no excuse for it. So far, here in Minnesota, our VA centers have received quite good marks. However, who is to say with certainty there are no schemes or “secret” waiting lists going on? We also know most veterans have had many good things to say about the treatment they’ve received at centers. However, even one incident of cruel waiting and/or death is one too many. We wonder about the high rate of suicides among veterans. How many of those might have been prevented with prompt professional attention rather than interminable waits? It’s with such patriotic hoopla we send men and women off to war, some of them wars that are unpopular and/or unwise. How easy it is to forget them when the hoopla dies down, when the sick and wounded return, many of them living in a bleak, lonely world of their own, often without jobs or any kind of trusting support system. It’s nothing less than a national disgrace. The president should appoint a commission and hold hearings that could root out every last vestige of this kind of cruel and rampant corruption. Those who indulge in it should be fired and even arrested and tried before a court of law. Such abuse is downright criminal.

Opinion Let’s heed Martinez’s angry questions We should all listen carefully to Richard Martinez, and we should keep listening with a resolute intention to help alleviate that man’s anguish and outrage. Martinez is the 61-year-old father of Chris Martinez, the 20-year-old college student who was murdered in cold blood while entering a convenience store last week during a madman’s killing spree in Santa Barbara. The berserk gunman killed seven people, including himself. He wounded 13 others. Clearly staggered by the death of his beloved son, Martinez struggled to regain control at a press conference. Saying his family is now “lost and broken” and his only son now dead, Martinez broke down, choking back tears, during a heartrending mixture of grief, anguish and rage. “Why did Chris die?” he asked. “Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA (National Rifle Association). They talk about gun rights. What about Chris’s right to live? When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, ‘Stop this madness, we don’t have to live like this? Too many have died. We should say to ourselves: Not one more. You don’t think it’ll happen to your child until it does.” Martinez’s anger and tears peak when he talks about that he had 20 good years with his son, unlike the parents of the little children slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary School, unimaginably horrible killings that Martinez thinks should have persuaded politicians to pass stricter gun laws. Martinez’s series of impassioned questions (“When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, ‘Stop this madness; we don’t have to live like this?’”) are all too familiar questions. They were asked after Columbine; they were asked after Virginia Tech; they were asked after Aurora; they were asked after Sandy Hook. The answers,
Dennis Dalman Editor of course, are never forthcoming. People, including craven, irresponsible politicians drift off whistling Dixie. NRA officials keep saying the same insultingly stupid things: More guns is the answer, more guns in the hands of good people is the only thing that will stop bad people from killing others. So says the ultimate parrot, Wayne LaPierre of the NRA. Martinez’s painful, anguished pressconference comments should be televised immediately after every self-serving bilge that comes out of the mouth of LaPierre, the darling of gun manufacturers. We can be sure LaPierre will, once again, claim it was severe mental illness – not guns – that pushed that deranged Santa Barbara gunman over the edge. And, of course, that’s true, partly. He did purchase the guns legally, and he was very adept at hiding his mental illness, not mentioning his treatments and medications he was supposed to be taking. And yet, still, Martinez’s cry of anger and anguish cannot be dismissed. His outrage goes right to the heart, to the gut. It’s the unbearable grief experienced by every parent who has lost a child to these gun-blazing fiends. Martinez vented the anger that all parents feel, and we should all listen to it and heed it. We’ll never stop all rampage killings, but the least the U.S. Congress can do is beef up the laws governing access to guns, insist on universal background checks, give more
funding to vital mental-health services and quit kowtowing to the NRA and its supposed defense of the Second Amendment when it is, in fact, gun manufacturers it seems most eager to serve and to protect. Beyond the issues of guns and mental illness, this country has got to get over its obsession with violence. One TV commentator, noting how the Santa Barbara killer had repeatedly watched violent video “games” said his own sons watch the same videos with no ill effects. That kind of blithe dismissal, an implicit condoning of violent videos, is despicable. And it’s not just violent videos that should turn our stomachs. A recent TV ad features men and women on a company “vacation,” playing a game of “Paintball” in the woods, with “bullets” banging into chests, fake blood splattering everywhere and shot-up victims jerking spasmodically in slow motion. That disgusting ad is “brought to us” by bookings.com. You see, after their sportive, gun-fun bloodbath, the “warriors” emerge from the woods, happy to see the swank hotel in the distance their company had booked for them. It’s interesting the killer’s father was the assistant director of the hit movie Hunger Games, yet another Hollywood saga of murder and mayhem. With that kind of vile crap saturating American culture, is it any wonder in this gun-crazed nation that kids – and adults – can go so wrong? And, by the way, what kind of “adult” would enjoy the vicarious slaughtering that occurs in these video “games.” Mr. Martinez, keep talking, keep expressing your anguish and outrage. Maybe, just maybe, some of those craven, irresponsible scoundrels (aka politicians) will start listening.
Letters to editor
Reader thanks residents who signed city hall petition Irene Reber, St. Joseph I would like to thank all the citizens of St. Joseph who have signed the petition to save the city hall from being demolished. It’s a beautiful granite building and if it needs
fixing, fix it. I think the city council priority should be the Police Department now. Build a police station. I’m sure it wouldn’t cost $4.5 million. Everyone I’ve talked to said if they build a police station that would give the city
hall more room. I have met so many wonderful people going around with the petition. St. Joseph is a really nice community to live in. Thank you everyone.
Can a Common Joe replace Michele Bachmann? Ronald Dixon University of Minnesota student Michele Bachmann is considered to be one of the most radical members of Congress. Now that she is retiring, we should rally behind an individual who will not succumb to petty politics or corporate interests. This person is Joe Perske. Since 2010, I have volunteered in the efforts to try and oust Bachmann, both when Tarryl Clark (2010) and Jim Graves (2012) made great efforts to defeat her. When I was first contacted by the Perske campaign, I instantly knew he would be a great leader for the Sixth Congressional District, and I am
proud to have voted for Perske at the DFL Sixth Congressional District convention. Unlike Bachmann, Perske rises above partisan politics and empty rhetoric in order to achieve goals that benefit his constituents. He has proven this multiple times, both as a city council member and as the Mayor of Sartell. His commitment to public service began years ago when he first began teaching middle school and coaching girls soccer. Perske is a pragmatic “Common Joe” who understands the needs of Minnesotans, and he will push for policies that will directly benefit his constituents, including improvements to infrastructure, funding education, protecting and improving the Affordable Care Act and preserving the social safety net.
As a college student, I know Perske will also work to help improve the outlook for young Americans, a group that has been increasingly burdened by a lackluster job market and unsustainable debt. The time is now to elect Perske to Congress. As more Americans are getting tired of partisan politics and Tea Party-sponsored agendas, such as repealing the ACA and obstructing jobs bills, we need someone who represents the populous. If elected, Perske will reach across the aisle to achieve progress, and he will always act with the best interests of ordinary Americans in mind, as opposed to the lobbyists, the rich and everyone else who belongs to the “Top 1 Percent.”
Reader endorses Perske for U.S. House seat Pauline Bratt, St. Cloud

Joe Perske, Sartell mayor, teacher and coach, is the endorsed DFL candidate for U.S. House in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District. Perske has deep roots in the 6th District. He grew up in Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud and was a teacher and coach with the Department of Defense in Germany and in Sartell for 37 years. As mayor of Sartell, Perske was there when the town’s major business, a paper mill, was destroyed by an explosion and fire. It was devastating to the community.
He led the coordination of more than 100 fire departments there to help, and he led the effort in finding jobs for hundreds of displaced workers. Perske is a marathon runner, having run more than 90,000 miles. “This race will be the race of a lifetime,” Perske said. “I will race until I drop.” Fixing a broken system in Washington is what motivates Perske to seek election, the candidate said. “This race is not about me,” Perske said. “It is about you, your kids, your grandkids, the elderly, and the kids who haven’t been born yet. It’s about coming together to solve
problems.” Perske says he is passionate about caring for the elderly, the vulnerable, the young and the veterans who have served our country. He wants to improve the Affordable Care Act so it covers more people more efficiently. “This great nation cannot survive the collapse of its middle class,” Perske said. “As a representative of the 6th Congressional District, I will work with others to restore the middle class and provide families the opportunity to realize the American Dream. This is an issue that stokes a fire that burns inside me and drives me to run for Congress in this election.”
