Dr. Newton chosen as grand marshal of parade by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
Dr. Thomas Newton was chosen to be the grand marshal of the July 4 parade organized by the St. Joseph Lions Club. Lions member Joanne Bechtold said he was selected because he spent so many years in the area serving others. Since Newton is also planning to retire
from CentraCare Health on July 2, many members felt it was an appropriate time to honor him. “I am very honored and surprised by my selection, and I am grateful the community feels my service here has been appreciated enough to be chosen,” Newton said. Newton came to the St. Joseph area in 1978 with his wife, Elaine.
“Immediately upon coming here, Elaine and I just knew, even before the interview, we knew,” Newton said. “We thought what a beautiful area. This is where we are going to practice.” He worked with a Rural Health Initiative Program, with a volunteer community board of directors, and spent half of his time in St. Joseph and the other half in Cold Spring. When
the program was discontinued, Newton remained in St. Joseph as a full-time, solo practitioner for about 15 years. In 1995, CentraCare acquired his practice and he has remained with them as a family medicine doctor. Other physicians, such as Dr. Julia Craig-Muller, joined him at the St. Joseph CentraCare Clinic.

Woman campaigns because of Northstar rail line by Frank Lee operations@thenewsleaders.com
A n n e Buckvold of St. Joseph recently received the endorsement of DFL Central Committee of Minne- Buckvold sota House District 13A in her bid to unseat Rep. Jeff Howe in November.
The committee met June 8 in St. Joseph and unanimously endorsed Buckvold to challenge the incumbent Howe, a Rockville Republican, for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. “A number of locally-elected officials and state leaders have failed to take seriously the groundswell of support for the Northstar extension to St. Cloud,” Buckvold said. The longtime citizen activist recently served as an organizer for St. Cloud GRIP/

Northstar runs 40 miles from Big Lake to downtown Minneapolis using track and right-of-way owned by the BNSF Railway with passenger service starting in 2009 but it has struggled. “I have an independent streak,” said Buckvold, a 40-year-old native of Minneapolis. “But at the same time I am very, very willing to work
with people to get things done at the Capitol.” She has been lead organizer for the “Finish Northstar” campaign during the past year, organizing and serving as spokesperson for multiple visits and communications with Minnesota legislators on issues of transportation for greater Minnesota. “I am very discouraged by the lack of involvement or response from many of those elected, including my own Jeff Northstar • page 3

Provider of chicken Northstar products issues recall from front page
GNP Co., a Cold Spring facility, is recalling about 55,608 pounds of chicken products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced June 18. The chicken products were produced on various dates from June 6 to June 9, 2016. GNP Co. is a well-known provider of “premium branded and custom chicken products to retail, deli and foodservice customers.” The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-322” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped for food service and retail distribution nationwide, according to a press release by FSIS. The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that sand and black soil were found in some of their
products. The source of the contamination is under investigation by the establishment and law enforcement. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Jane Kalthoff, customer representative supervisor, at 800328-2838.

Howe,” Buckvold said. “I finally realized we are not going to get traction with the issue . . . so I started to think about running . . . and the DFL reached out to me.” The first-time candidate expressed frustration that elected representatives were unable or unwilling to pass
a transportation bill with the needed long-term funding to maintain outstate infrastructure. But first she will have to take on Jane Leitzman in the DFL primary Aug. 9. “St. Cloud to Minneapolis is one of the most traveled corridors in the state. It’s the fastest growing corridor in the state,” Buckvold said. “We know that our elected officials have been very hard pressed to pass a transportation bill with the funding that’s needed.”
3 Buckvold said her campaign will focus on transportation but also will address the “unmet needs of her district” regarding housing, education and jobs. “I have four young children whose future is interconnected with the future health of our state,” she said. “I care about all children and what kind of future they will inherit if we do not plan and invest properly in our public policy decisions.”

After practicing medicine for 38 years, Dr. Thomas Newton will retire from CentraCare Health Clinic on July 2. An open house will be held at the St. Joseph clinic on Tuesday, July 26, celebrating his retirement and welcoming Drs. Katrina and Sean Wherry, a wife-andhusband team who are moving from Alaska to join the St. Joseph clinic as family medicine physicians when Newton retires.
Newton from front page Newton has been practicing medicine for 38 years. He said his practice in the area has consisted of a general family practice, with the exception of obstetrics, including adult and pediatric medicine, minor office surgical procedures, nursing-home rounds and even house calls. Newton made rounds on his hospitalized patients every day he was not on vacation for 36 years, until two years ago when Hospitalists took over the care of
all family-practice hospital patients. He said he has seen many changes throughout the years. When he first began to practice, there were no computerized tomography scans or magnetic-resonance imaging tests, and he said doctors had to examine the patient by other means to make a diagnosis. There also weren’t any cellular phones, and so Newton knew the location of every pay phone between St. Joseph and the St. Cloud Hospital because he would frequently get paged two or three times while traveling to or from the hospital.

“The first few years of my practice there were no full-time emergency-room physicians, and all the doctors on the hospital staff had to take calls for emergency-room coverage,” Newton said. There also were no cardiologists, neonatologists, neurologists or many other specialists. St. Cloud is now recognized for having premier programs in many of those specialties. Newton said living in the same area as his patients and knowing them outside of the office was helpful for providing medical care because it helped to know what else might be going on in patients’ lives that contributed to their illnesses. As a physician, he said it was hard when he had to tell patients he had known for many years that they had terminal illnesses. When practicing solo, if he became ill, the office would be closed, and his staff sent patients to other family doctors in the area for emergencies. When he took his vacations, he hired a locum tenens physician (one who fills in temporarily) to cover the practice while he was gone. Newton does not appreciate all of the changes in his profession. “The amount of control insurance companies and government have over medical care is appalling and interferes with the good practice of medicine,” he said. “The bureaucratic burdens interfere with a personal relationship with your patients. At times I feel more like a data entry clerk than a healer.” Newton said when he visited doctors’ offices when he was younger, he thought he would never want to be a doctor and be around sick people all the time. However, when he was in seventh grade while traveling on a long road trip to Winnipeg, Canada, he read a book written by Dr. Tom Dooley, a medical missionary in Vietnam, and immediately knew then he was going to become a doctor. Newton said he and his brother were both adopted by wonderful parents. His father

and grandfather were both machinists, and he was the first in his family to become a doctor. About 10 years ago, when wanting to learn more about his family medical history, he discovered he had a biological sister he hadn’t known about. He found it interesting she became a registered nurse and they have similar interests. “It’s been absolutely fantastic getting to know my sister,” Newton said. Newton grew up in the St. Paul area and attended Cretin High School. After high school, he attended the College of St. Thomas (now the University of St. Thomas) and later received his medical degree from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in 1974. He also received a Fellowship degree from the American Academy of Family Physicians in 1981. After completing medical school, Newton did a family practice residency in Saginaw, Mich., for three years. During that time he met and married his wife. Before coming to St. Joseph, he was the medical director of a 14-county Migrant Health Program in Michigan. “I’ve always enjoyed being involved in medical education and was chairman of the St. Cloud Hospital Graduate Medical Education Committee from 1995 until it dissolved about two years ago,” Newton said. “I’ve served as a mentor and preceptor for medical residents, medical students and nurse practitioner students, as well as pre-med students over the years.” He has been a member of the diocesan Natural Family Planning advisory board and served as a volunteer physician for Birthright for many years before it disbanded. Newton was a member of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce and is a past recipient of the “Kelly Award,” joined the Knights of Columbus shortly after it formed, and has volunteered at July 4 celebrations in various booths, including bingo, the Mexican stand, pull tabs and
Friday, June 24, 2016 the refreshment stand. Elaine, who earned a certificate of ministry from the College of St. Benedict and a master’s degree in pastoral ministry from the St. John’s University graduate school of theology, is retired after working in Hospice Chaplaincy. Newton, who will turn 67 on July 2, and Elaine, 70, have three children. “All of our three children – Andrew, Joseph and Teresa – were born here and now all are married” he said. “We have nine grandchildren who we are looking forward to visiting a lot more after my retirement.” Following retirement, the Newtons plan to remain in St. Joseph because they consider it home. “Elaine and I are very thankful we were allowed the opportunity to provide 17 years of Catholic education for all of our children in the area,” he said. All of their children went into the medical field. Andy is a nuclear-medicine technologist at Edwards Heart Hospital in Naperville, Ill. Joe has a master’s degree in psychology and does psychology consulting work while he is a full-time stay-at-home father in Madison, Wis. Teresa is a registered nurse at the newborn intensive-care unit at the Children’s Hospital in St. Paul. In between visiting his grandchildren, Newton is looking forward to having time for fishing, gardening, traveling, cooking and reading. Drs. Sean and Katrina Wherry, a husband-and-wife team, will join the St. Joseph clinic as family medicine physicians when Newton retires. The couple and their three children are moving to the area after working at a military base clinic in Alaska since 2013. A clinic open house recognizing Newton’s retirement and welcoming Drs. Katrina and Sean Wherry will be held from 5:307:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 26, at the CentraCare Clinic in St. Joseph. The annual parade is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, July 4. According to Bechtold, there are almost 100 floats this year.

Our View
Better safe than sorry, so heed bad-weather warnings With the official start of summer on June 20, it’s a good time to review the importance of heeding bad weather conditions and warnings. On Sunday night, there were tornado warnings issued in parts of Stearns, Benton and Sherburne counties, and tornado-warning sirens blared loudly in many cities. Because tornadoes are fairly rare in Minnesota, unlike in the “Tornado Alley” states like Texas and Oklahoma, it’s easy for us Minnesotans to forget they can and do happen, and we must be prepared for their possibility. A “Tornado Watch” is when the weather forecasters advise people that conditions are favorable for the possible formation of tornadic weather. A “Tornado Warning” is broadcast, often with a wailing siren, that a tornado or rotational cloud formation has been sighted somewhere in the general area and that people should seek shelter immediately. When a tornado warning is issued, people should not dawdle and wait around, looking up at the sky to try to see a funnel cloud. They should take shelter, preferably in the middle room of a basement or in the innermost room of a house, such as a small bathroom toward the center of the house. June through August are the most likely tornado months in Minnesota, although they can occur as early as March and as late as November. The largest tornado outbreak in Minnesota was June 17, 2010, when 48 funnel clouds were spotted in clusters. From 1950 to 2012, there were 1,721 tornadoes reported in Minnesota, 99 tornado-related deaths and 1,981 injuries. The worst tornado disaster occurred in the St. Cloud-Sauk Rapids-Rice areas when 72 people died, including members of a wedding party in rural Rice, including the groom who had just said his vows. The date was the afternoon of April 14, 1886. The second deadliest outbreak was in the Fergus Falls area on the afternoon of June 22, 1919 when 57 people were killed and 200 injured. In more recent times, better weather forecasting and warnings have prevented deaths, with only about one or two fatalities per year in the state. But – this bears repeating – people must learn to heed the warnings and take immediate shelter. And not to forget, there are other weather dangers besides tornadoes. Strong straight-line winds can be devastating, injuring or killing people with debris driven by the fierce winds, and demolishing roofs and, in some cases, entire homes, especially mobile homes. Another danger is large hail that can cause much damage and even serious injury. Yet another cause for concern is lightning. People should always go inside a house or other protected structure when the skies are streaked by lightning. One should never seek shelter under a tree in a bad lightning storm. Lightning often “seeks” the highest thing in a landscape, such as trees, and there have been instances of lightning splitting trees wide open, and injuring or killing people who’d run under the tree for shelter. That is what killed several people on a golf course in the Twin Cities some years ago. Parents should gather children together and impress upon them what to do when bad weather approaches. They must not dawdle and delay but come directly home from wherever they are or seek shelter in their friends’ homes or other shelters if a storm strikes when they are playing in parks, ballfields or wherever. Let us be safe this summer; let’s heed the weather warnings; let’s seek shelter with a healthy bettersafe-than-sorry attitude.

Opinion Stop lamebrain excuses against gun laws (Note: This column was written before a June 19 deadline, so the outcome of a possible congressional vote on gun-safety proposals was not known yet. The vote was expected to happen as early as June 20.)
The excuses are growing lamer by the day for not passing laws regulating the sale and access to certain kinds of guns. It’s an established fact the National Rifle Association owns the U.S. Congress lock, stock and barrel, and it calls all the shots any time the subject of gun safety comes up. And that subject has come up a lot lately, what with the horrifying frequency of massacres by vile haters. An explosive combination of factors causes these haters to go berserk and slaughter people: mental illness, especially a mania to seek revenge because of perceived slights or the hater’s own inadequacies; sick propaganda by hate groups that helps the mentally-ill individual feel empowered and/or connected to a “higher” cause; and last but not least, ready access to guns – especially assault-type weapons. Time and again, after every massacre, good senators and representatives try to pass gunsafety laws and laws either restricting access to, or outright bans on, assault-type guns. And time and again, their efforts are defeated by their colleagues’ slavish adherence to the powers of the NRA. For decades, the NRA leaders have perpetrated and nurtured excuses that too many people adopt in knee-jerk fashion. But first, a few good words about the NRA: Its members are overwhelmingly good people who promote gun education, gun-safety programs, and responsible hunting and gun recreation. What’s more, most of its members are strong advocates of commonsense gun legislation. It’s the national NRA leadership that’s the problem because just as they hold Congress hostage to their demands, NRA’s top leaders for years have played lackey to the gun manufacturers’ lobby.
Dennis Dalman Editor The tail wagging the dog. Here are some of the lamebrain excuses against gun legislation, as promulgated in the Gospel of Wayne LaPierre, the current head honcho/propagandist of the NRA: • If they pass any kind of gun-control legislation, it will become a slippery slope and next thing you know, they’ll be at our doors demanding to take away our hunting guns. • Banning or denying access to certain kinds of weapons won’t do a bit of good. The haters will steal the guns, or use knives or make homemade explosives. • The Second Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms, is sacred. It allows us to have all the guns we want, and passing even one restriction to that amendment is therefore unconstitutional. • If they pass restrictions on gun access, how will we be able to protect ourselves? The trouble with those excuses is that none of them is true. Yes, haters have used knives and bombs, but does that mean passing restrictions on assault weapons is therefore futile? Thankfully, polls indicate those excuses are wearing very thin, indeed. Ninety-percent of Americans want to expand background checks and are in favor of passing legislation that would limit and/or ban war-like assault weapons and any guns that hold multiple-bullet clips. Thank goodness for the political courage of Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut who staged a 15-hour filibuster last week to force Republican Party leaders to allow votes on two proposed gun measures. One measure would forbid people whose names are on the government’s
terrorist watch list from obtaining gun licenses. Another would expand background checks at gun shows and for Internet sales. Both measures are not only eminently reasonable; they are long overdue. Murphy ended his marathon filibuster by referring to the heartbreaking story of Dylan Hockley and Ann-Marie Murphy. Dylan was a dimpled, blue-eyed sweetheart to everyone who knew him, including teaching aide Mrs. Murphy, who helped him deal with his autism at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. We all know all too well what happened there one day. A deranged gunman barged into the school and began firing his assault rifle with its clip of 30 bullets. Later, officials found Dylan and Mrs. Murphy dead. She had wrapped her loving arms around him just seconds before the crazed killer shot them. They were two of the 26 dead – 23 of them little boys and girls. In his filibuster speech, Sen. Murphy praised Mrs. Murphy’s fearlessness, her fierce love while staring down a barrel and knowing she would die within seconds. Murphy ended his long talk by challenging his Senate colleagues to demonstrate with legislation that political courage: “If Anne Marie Murphy could do that,” the senator said, “what can you do to make sure Orlando or Sandy Hook never, ever happens again?” It’s a question we should all ask ourselves. We should remind ourselves even if gun legislation cannot prevent massacres (of course it can’t completely), that is no excuse to do absolutely nothing. And yes, let’s remember always that assault-type weapons and instant access to them is a big factor in just about every massacre. Most of all, let’s remember Dylan Hockley and Mrs. Murphy when we demand our political leaders pass the proposed gun legislation. Enough excuses.
Letter to editor
Reader counteracts Obama’s achievements Dennis Dunphy, St. Joseph I don’t think a letter will open the eyes of Dennis Dalman. His eyes have been shut for so long he needs to use a white cane to get around. Dalman has attacked Donald Trump for so long he seems to have limited vision and needs new glasses. Dalman seems to lack the ability to be objective. Maybe he’s so liberal he has no idea what truth means. Unfortunately, when people have closed minds there is no way to communicate with them. “I think, therefore I am not liberal” has a lot of truth to it. I will now say a few things that may be fair to the idea of honesty and balance in the press, which are lacking
under Dalman’s position as an editor. Dalman talks about Obama’s achievements. Let me mention the Affordable Health Care Act is not affordable and you can’t choose your own doctor all the time. Obama didn’t keep our troops in Iraq, and the insurgents came back. We call them ISIS now. Our troops are fighting to retake the same ground we had already taken in Fallujah and Ramadi. I read Obama has been telling the FBI to back off on Muslims. I do know he’s trying to bring more Syrians into the United States. I haven’t seen an effective vetting program. And we do know our borders are not protected. Rapists, drug dealers, sex offenders, felons and sex traffickers are constantly com-
ing into the United States across the Mexican borders. Since the tragedy in Orlando, the U.S. Congress has voted on four gun bills and all of them failed. Congress needs to understand criminals need to be the focus of our attention. Obama according to Dr. Charles Boustany said the terrorist attack in Orlando was the “latest example of the epidemic of gun violence” in America without acknowledging terrorism or the shooter’s ties to ISIS. I rest my case long before I would like to because there is a 400-word limit on letters to the editor. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your time.
Internet bubble and what you may be missing The Internet is a wonderful thing. It’s greatly expanded the amount of information the everyday American has access to. A brain-twisting problem that once required a trip to the library now is easily solved with the help of a smartphone, computer or tablet. However, have you ever noticed when you type one thing into a search engine, searching for travel deals or looking up a new lawn mower, eerily similar advertisements and links begin to appear? This is how these companies make money. Recording your search history and selling it to advertisers helps to market more efficiently. On this note, looking at news articles online works in the same way Based on what sites you have visited, search results and news aggregators recommend stories based on what you have read before. This is all well and good until you consider you may have read your news on a site that leans one way or another on the political spectrum. The process will continue until your Internet bubble is created. What is an Internet bubble, you may ask? Well, to put it simply, an Internet bubble is the condition in which the search engines have you figured out to the point where when you search for news or opinion, you will never encounter anything that challenges your viewpoint. If you have been reading a large number of left- or right-wing sites, it’s very unlikely one with a contrary opinion to these will ever appear in your search results or be recommended to you
Connor Kockler Guest Writer by a news aggregator. Make no mistake, it isn’t wrong to find a good place to share views with people who think the same way as you. The problem, though, is being stuck in an Internet bubble can actually reduce the amount of information you are taking in. You are also more likely to encounter inherent bias in reporting. I once found a website that showed images of a conservative news feed and a liberal news feed side by side. These feeds had stories about the same topics. The difference was shocking. Not only did the opposing sides each have a completely different take on the issues, they also used different sources and quoted different people to prove their points. This illustrates the problem. Sites with one viewpoint or another may downplay or completely omit information that doesn’t help them prove the point they are making in the article. If you are stuck in an Internet bubble, you may only be getting half the story. Being a person who has explored both sides of the political Internet, I find the best way to sort
through the biases is to look for similarities. If the conservative and liberal sites both say something, it’s safe to assume it’s true. If there are different figures for the same point, say the economy or crime numbers, I tend to take an average or check the leanings of the contributing organization. But it’s only possible to break out of your Internet bubble and access both sides of the political Internet if you know where to look. The best way I have found to do this is to find a group of conservative sites, a group of liberal sites and some more moderate sites. Save these in your bookmarks or write them down, and take a look at one of each before you make up your mind on something. A great place to start is www.realclearpolitics. com. This site hosts web articles from many differing sites across the political spectrum and will help you to build a list of sites you like. Just like getting a second opinion, breaking out of your Internet bubble can help you see more of the world. When we get stuck in information that merely confirms our beliefs, it doesn’t challenge us to defend them, which makes for terrible debates in the classroom and at the dinner table. An informed society is a strong and prosperous society. We just need to get outside of our bubbles and give multiple viewpoints a look. Connor Kockler is a student at Sauk RapidsRice High School.
