Bergerson, Hegland: artists, neighbors, friends by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Besides being the best of good neighbors, Sartell artists Judith Bergerson and Peder Hegland have something else in common – textures, wonderful textures. Hegland, a potter, creates works that practically beg viewers to touch them: works of glossy glazes, others of rough-hewn stony surfaces, still others that combine the two textures, often with etchings made into the clay. Bergerson, who paints, draws and makes collages, also excels in textures: the tracery of tree branches in woods; rocks, pebbles and boulders; entangled roots on a mossy ground; water pooling or flowing. It’s no wonder viewers see correspondences in their works. After all, they live as neighbors in the Pine Point area north of Sartell, near the river and with woods all around them, with nature always “speaking” to them. “I live exactly 39 steps from Judith’s studio,” Hegland said. “It’s a great thing to have an artist living next door. Someone who understands. We talk a lot.” Bergerson agrees. “Peder is a wonderful neighbor,” she said. “He’s a very introspective and gentle man – a kindred spirit. We are both very much loners because artists work alone.” Many of their artworks can be seen side-by-side in an exhibit showing in Gallery St. Germain in downArtists • page 4

New soccer association plans fall recreation league by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
The members of the new Sartell Soccer Association are excited about initiating programs and ideas that will make the city a thriving place for young players and fans of soccer. Registration is already open for a Fall Recreation Soccer League that will take place in Pinecone Central Park. It will begin the week of Sept. 12 and conclude the week of Oct. 17. The league, which will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, is open for girls and
boys in grades K-6. If a parent registers to coach a child’s team, 50 percent will be taken off of the registration fee. Such parents will be expected to attend a coach’s clinic, and no coaching experience is required. Players in the league will receive soccer skills and learn all the basics of the game, and the season will end with a fun, competitive jamboree and a team T-shirt. Registration for the league opened June 15 on the Sartell Soccer Association’s website, which is www.sartellsoccer.org In the meantime, the asso-
ciation is getting its webpage and Facebook page together with help from coaches Matt Hager and Jen Traver, along with many volunteers. The SSA intends to have tryouts for competitive teams at the end of July and early August, and more information will be announced later. The SSA is also seeking donations and business sponsorships for teams. The association needs funds to help create recreation leagues, skills camps and coaching clinics, all at local facilities. To donate, go to www.gofundme.com/sartellsoccer.

Artists from front page town St. Cloud, across from the Paramount Theater. The show, entitled “Neighbors: Painter + Potter,” opened June 3 and will continue through July 16. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesdays-Fridays; and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays.
Neighbors
How did it happen two acclaimed artists happen to live so near each other? Twenty-five years ago, Peder Hegland and his wife, Marilyn Peitso, moved to Sartell’s Pine Point area. At that time, their neighbor was Rita Bartlett, who years later decided to move to an assisted-living apartment.
Bartlett’s daughter, Judith Bergerson, and her husband, Mark, then bought the house from her and moved into it for their retirement years. Bergerson and Hegland were surprised and delighted to learn they were living next door to each other – two artists, two kindred spirits who quickly became good friends.
Bergerson
Bergerson (nee Bartlett) grew up in St. Cloud and graduated from St. Cloud Tech High School, as did both her parents back in the 1930s. She graduated with a degree in art and art education from St. Olaf College and taught at a high school in Roseville. When her daughter, Erika, was born, Bergerson decided to be a stayat-home mom and artist. Still later, she and her hus-
band moved to Wyoming, Minn., and started a gallery, art supply and frame business in Forest Lake, which they owned and operated for 35 years until their retirement.
Hegland
Born in Racine, Wis., Hegland studied chemistry at Luther College in Iowa, but one day he decided to take a pottery class and immediately liked working with clay. Gradually but certainly, his passion moved away from chemistry to art, specifically pottery. That was more than 40 years ago, and his dedication to pottery is stronger than ever. Hegland’s wife, Marilyn Peitso, is a pediatrician hospitalist for CentraCare in St. Cloud. They have three grown chil-

Bergerson’s art
Sometimes, in describing her works, Bergerson says she “builds” them as much as she paints them. That is because her works are highly layered, with images painted over images, textures upon textures, colors upon colors. She often works on five, six or even seven canvases at the same time, going from one to the other, working out solutions as she sees visual possibilities. Most of Bergerson’s paintings are semi-abstract landscapes or reflections on nature, mostly done in acrylic paints or a mixture of acrylics, colored pencils or crayons. Bergerson is also a masterful drawer with pen-and-ink and pencil. She is fond of doing series of paintings or dryings, sometimes on the same theme, as a series of small paintings of crane birds she did years ago. At Gallery St. Germain, one of her drawing series is on display: 25 small panels of drawings, each about 6 inches by 6 inches, with a wondrous range of subjects, some related, some jarringly not: juxtaposed are superb drawings of a bird’s nest, a farm landscape, trees shaken by a wind, a trio of kohlrabi, a street scene, a starstudded night sky, a seashore. Together they evoke the wonders of nature, of shapes, of forms and the staggering differences and yet similarities of apparently unlike things. Bergerson’s larger canvases are often semi-abstract landscapes that draw the viewer in, layer by layer. There are strong structural grid patterns throughout the paintings; and then sinuous delicate lines (often of tree trunks and branches); and sometimes
Friday, July 1, 2016 there is water present or geologic rock formations, all interacting in ghostly gossamer layers. The paintings evoke smells of a landscape: damp humus layers with roots exposed, sap and bark, leaves, rocks and pebbles, pools of water, sun filtering through onto the woods’ ground. At times, Bergerson’s paintings give the impression one is looking into and through a landscape, even in its most hidden aspects, as if in a mysterious X-ray process. “I’m not a message artist,” Bergerson said. “I like observing and finding the order in everything. That’s what I look for, structure and order.” Bergerson describes herself as an intuitive painter. As she paints, she lets the painting “inform” her as to how it should develop in a constant process of surprise and discovery in exploring shapes and relationships.
Hegland’s art
In his 40 years of making stoneware, Hegland has always been awed and inspired by the great pottery from ancient civilizations, including Greece, Pre-Columbian works and many others. Pottery is a unique art because, like most potters, Hegland makes his pots, dishes, platters, vases and cups for human usage. Thus, when he creates his stoneware, he combines day-to-day practicality with aesthetics. People are happy to use the stoneware because it’s not only useful but beautiful in its colors, designs, textures – the look and feel of a coffee cup, say, as someone lifts it to drink from. “I make my works mostly on the potter’s wheel, though I also do some clay-slab work,” Hegland said. One of his stoneware works

Upon arrival, the officer discovered the male party is usually on oxygen but the power went out at his residence, causing his oxygen machine not to work. The officer provided oxygen until Gold Cross Ambulance arrived on scene with an oxygen bottle and mask. The male was advised to call if he needed any further assistance. 6:28 p.m. Intoxicated person. Seventh Street N. Officers were dispatched to a residence in reference to an intoxicated 21-year-old female. Officers arrived on scene and transported the female to the St. Cloud Hospital.

Officers checked the park and could hear no noise in the area. Officers located a female party on the Sartell Bridge who stated she was in the park but denied throwing things or being loud. 2:27 p.m. Traffic stop. Riverside Avenue S. While on routine patrol an officer observed a vehicle directly in front of him. Upon running the vehicle’s license plate, the officer discovered the registered owner had a revoked license. The driver matched the description of the registered owner so the officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver was confirmed to have a revoked license and was issued a citation for the offense. A valid driver was contacted to remove the vehicle.

glazed black. The piece, partly because of its vaguely human connotations, conveys an image of strength, of vigilance and even a aura of magic as if it’s the totemic object of some tribe.
Every year, Hegland and Bergerson host a for-sale show at their two studios. More recently, they tried a tentative collaboration, with Hegland making stoneware objects and Bergerson painting or etch-
ing on them. They were very pleased with the results, so much so that they intend to do more collaborations. And why not? After all, good neighbors lead to good collaborations.

Our View
Do a good local deed; help with meal-packaging It’s often said charity begins at home. That’s easy to forget with all the pressing needs throughout this all-too-tragic world these days. A good reminder of that adage is the upcoming “Feeding Our Communities,” a facet of the “Better Together” program of the Central Minnesota Community Coalition. From noon-8 p.m. Thursday, July 28 at Apollo High School, hundreds of volunteers will get together to package more than 100,000 meals that will be distributed to area charities and food shelves. It costs 25 cents to package a meal of macaroni-and-cheese or beans-and-rice. The formula used in the food packages, a formula provided by Outreach Inc., is very nutritious. The “Better Together” program is based on the goal of all people, including people of all backgrounds and races, working together locally and globally to bring peace and kindness to the world. The mission statement puts it eloquently: “As leaders, we believe we have a responsibility to the well-being of our entire community. Where differences create tension among us, we will work to develop relationships, create peace, bridge gaps and bring people together. When the leaders work together, so then can the people of our community work together. All of us are ‘Better Together.’ “We see here walls of cultural tension that continue to stand through a lack of cross-cultural relationships. This community cannot thrive while there are walls of misconception, suspicion, indifference toward each other’s needs, and many more – each wall rooted in fear. Our coalition aims to break down these walls by bringing people together in the service of each other.” Organizations that are part of Better Together, as well as the food-packaging event, are Catholic Charities, Humanity Central Minnesota Community Services, Orange Oak Media, Thrivent Financial, GRIP/Isaiah, Habitat for Humanity, the Southwest Minnesota Synod – ELCAL Lutheran Social Services, United Way of Central Minnesota and www.UniteCloud. Packaging meals, as is often done for hungry people overseas, is such a good thing to do in the central Minnesota area. Packaging meals for local people is also important. It not only helps people in need, but it also brings people together in a spirit of solidarity, all working for a good cause and lowering the “walls” mentioned in the “Better Together” mission statement. Volunteers and donations are still needed. Registration for volunteers began June 20 and will be open right up until the event takes place. To sign up to volunteer, go to: Unitedwayhelps.org To make a donation, go to: classy.org/ feedingourcommunities. Or send a check to United Way of Central Minnesota, 101 Seventh Ave. S. #100, St. Cloud, Minn. 56301.

And to his diehard fans, the bigger the lie the better they like it. A couple of weeks ago, The Donald delivered a speech (if you want to call it that) about Hillary Clinton. In fact, it more resembled a long, rambling verbal character-assassination attempt woven from a litany of lies. He claimed Hillary was sound asleep in her bed when Chris Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, was killed in Benghazi. Later, when he was questioned in a TV interview about his claim, with perfectly buoyant confidence, he said, oh well, Hillary “probably” was asleep, and then he said she “might” have been asleep, and then he conjured up the notion that – awake or not, in bed or not – she was “asleep” on her job as Secretary of State. As is typical with Trump, he tells a lie, then immediately repeats it two or three times, as if repeating a fib will somehow, through some verbal alchemy, turn the falsehood into the truth, an error into a fact. And I must admit, he’s a master at it. It has become an endearing facet of his “entertainment” value, especially to Trumpites who seem not to give a rip about pesky things called facts. A team of reporters for USA Today recently did a revelatory exercise in detective work regarding Trump’s “Hillary Speech.” The reporters meticulously fact-checked every statement made by Trump, most of which were outlandishly in-
Dennis Dalman Editor correct, bloatedly exaggerated or – at best – slyly misleading. Here are just some of them: • He blamed Hillary for announcing the withdrawal from Iraq and thus “handing large parts of the country over to ISIS and the ISIS killers.” Wrong. It was George W. Bush who decided on the out-of-Iraq departure date, and Obama – not Hillary – adhered to that date. • Trump claimed Hillary’s private server was hacked by foreign governments. There is no evidence whatsoever it happened. • Trump blasted the North American Free Trade Agreement as “Bill Clinton’s disastrous and totally disastrous NAFTA.” Fact: Clinton signed the legislation, but the agreement was negotiated and signed by President George H.W. Bush. • Hillary, claimed The Donald, “spent hundreds of billions of dollars to settle Middle Eastern refugees in the United States, on top of the current record level of immigration that we have.” Wrong. Yes, Hillary supports allowing as many as 65,000 Syrian refugees into the United States, but she has never said she would spend hundreds of billions. The current budget for Refugee and Entrant Assistance is $1.67 billion for this year. • Trump claimed Hillary would “end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create
totally open borders for the United States.” That’s a blatant lie. Hillary has spoken in favor of a path to earning citizenship, but that would depend – she has insisted – on bolstering border security. Further, Hillary was a strong support of an immigration bill that would have funded enhanced border security, additional border fencing and the implementation of an E-Verity system, as well as an exit-visa system to put a stop to overstays on visas. • Hillary, according to Trump, accepted $58,000 worth of jewelry from the Brunei government when she was Secretary of State. He conveniently forgot to mention the jewelry was accepted on behalf of the United States and was then immediately transferred to the General Services Administration, as diplomatic gifts have been throughout American history. There are more whoppers in that speech, enough to fill many pages, as the USA Today story proved. Trump calls Hillary a liar. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Oh, and not to forget, he also claims Hillary is the most corrupt presidential candidate in American history. It’s yet another indication Donald must have been day-dreaming about towers or casinos in history class. Trumpites justify his blustering falsehoods by claiming he might have gotten some facts wrong, yes, but the essence of his remarks is truthful, nonetheless. The trouble is, who wants a president who gets so many facts wrong so consistently, so constantly? Trump’s fantasy-land fabulism should be a warning sign to all voters a candidate without facts, and – worse, with so little regard for facts – should not be elected to lead this nation.
Letters to the editor
With Fourth of July approaching, beware of barbecued bugs Sami Nicholson, Sartell What ever happened to the good old days when our worst worries on the Fourth of July were traffic jams and wayward fireworks? A well-warranted worry, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Meat and Poultry Hotline, is food poisoning by nasty E. coli and Salmonella bugs hiding in hot dogs and
hamburgers at millions of backyard barbecues. The hotline’s advice is to grill them longer and hotter. Of course, they avoid mentioning the high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also happens to form cancer-causing compounds. Fortunately, some forward-thinking U.S. food manufacturers have solved these issues by creating an amazing assortment of healthy and delicious veggie burgers and soy dogs. No nasty
pathogens or cancer-causing compounds in these tasty plant-based foods. They don’t even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, antibiotics or pesticides. And they are conveniently waiting for us at almost every supermarket. This Fourth of July offers a great opportunity to declare our independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgers and soy dogs with our family and friends.
In honor of National Dairy Month, hats off to dairy farmers
Gary Zimmermann, Waite Park
(Note: Although this is being printed in July, it’s June that is considered to be National Dairy Month. This information was obtained from the State of Minnesota.) We take this time to salute all the hardworking dairy farmers in the central Minne-
sota area for the great job they do 365 days a year in hot weather, rain and (let’s not forget) the winter months, too. I’m glad these men and women work hard for us all year long. Let’s take the time to thank them for all the good food they put out for us each and every day of the week. The dairy farmer brings lots of good food to our tables. If it wasn’t for the farmer, we would not have foods like ice
cream, cheese and yogurt. So next time you are at the grocery store, make sure to look for the “Real” seal because we need to support American Dairy Farmers and the work they do. I would also like to support the truck drivers who haul all those great dairy products. Hats off to all dairy farmers – thanks for a great job. Let’s have a glass of good milk today.
The Fourth of July – uniquely American As we approach the Fourth of July once again, I think we should take a look back at how the American tradition got started. This year will be the 240th occurrence of the date of the founding of our republic, and 2026 will be an even more momentous occasion with the 250th. On the date of July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The country was already in the midst of war as American troops under George Washington battled against the British Army. The Founding Fathers needed a document to explain the previous year’s revolution and to rally the cause of those in favor of independence. Under the leadership of famous men and future presidents such as John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, the Declaration of Independence as we know it was crafted. Fifty-six delegates from the 13 colonies signed the completed document. This to me shows the essential spirit that makes the United States such a unique country. We, as a people, are unlike other nations not bound by such things as common origin or history or traditions. America is a nation bound by people of similar ideals and the belief that hard work and determination in a land that offers plenty of opportunity can provide a better life for ourselves and our children.
Connor Kockler Guest Writer The best-known sentence of the Declaration of Independence illustrates that so well: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The Founding Fathers and all those brave revolutionaries who fought with them wanted the freedom to choose their own destiny, to have a government that represented their wishes and to be free of the rule of a tyrannical king. To do that, they would have to fight the most powerful empire in the world, Great Britain. But the Founding Fathers knew the risk they were taking. It was not some empty show or bluff like our politics today. Those brave 56 who signed the Declaration knew they were signing their death warrants. They wanted to show that despite the danger, despite the fact they all came from 13 colonies with their own customs and interests, that they were united
in one goal together. That goal was independence for themselves and the future generations after them. “If we do not hang together,” Ben Franklin famously declared, “we shall surely hang separately.” I hope we can put aside some of our bitter partisan politics for this weekend and take a moment to reflect on what we have in common. We all have a vision or an idea about how to make this country better. Why don’t we take this time to think about our proposals and to compare them with others in a civil discourse. It’s this America we are losing, the cooperative politics and compromises that got us to where we are today. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not pushed merely by one side or another. Rather, they were worked out and agreed upon by different groups with different interests, for the common good of all. If we cannot come together to compromise on solutions to our common problems, we risk those problems getting worse. May this Fourth of July be the start of a change in our politics, even if it’s just here on a local level. Because if we don’t hang together, we shall surely hang separately.

Movies in the Park features The Notebook on July 22 Two more free movies are slated for outdoor showings at Pinecone Central Park as part of the BankVista Movies in the Park program. Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax was shown June 17. The next movies are The Notebook Friday, July 22; and Disney’s The Good Dinosaur Friday, Aug. 12. Both movies will start at 8:45 p.m. In case of rain, the movies will be shown at the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School, 901 First St. S. in Sauk Rapids. The Notebook, released in 2004, is a love story set in the 1940s between a South Carolina mill worker played by Ryan Gosling and a rich girl played by Rachel McAdams. Her parents don’t approve of the match and
soon the mill worker, Noah, is off to WW II. Meantime, the rich girl becomes involved with another man. What happens when Noah returns from war? The Notebook was directed by Nick Cassavetes and narrated by late actor James Garner. The Good Dinosaur, released in 2015, is a 3-D animated comedy adventured created by the Pixar Animation Studios. Directed by Peter Sohn, the story is set on a fictional Earth on which dinosaurs did not become extinct. An Apatosaurus named Arlo meets a little human friend while roaming one day.
