Craig’s rock picking crew Classmates remember friend who loved family, farm, football By CAROL MOORMAN Staff Writer ST. ROSA – It was a perfect day for picking rocks on Saturday, May 6. Walking the blackened fields, under bright blue skies, on Mike and Brenda Wiechmann’s St. Rosa farm were more than a dozen of their son, Craig’s, classmates. Craig’s brother Adam drove tractor. Five years earlier the classmates, Melrose Area High School seniors at the time,

did the same thing, three short months after Craig passed away, on Feb. 11, 2012, after a silo incident. “We’re gonna pick some rocks, socialize and drink some beer,” said Tyler Schmidt, Craig’s close friend, who organized the rock picking event.
Mike and Brenda Wiechmann gave and received hugs from their son’s classmates as they chatted before picking rocks. Classmates also reminisced about their friend. Schmidt got to know Craig when they were in middle
school. He said sports and being active were a huge priority for Craig. “It was always go, go, go with Craig,” Schmidt said. “He was a guy that never judged or thought differently of anyone. I felt I could have had open discussions with Craig about any-
thing.” They played softball together. Their parents had cabins on the same lake, and they spent many weekends on the lake. Before Craig had his accident Tyler decided he was going to North Dakota State University in Fargo, and Craig was considering going to college in Fergus Falls, where he would also play football. “It was not official, but we were hoping it would happen, knowing Fargo and Fergus Falls were not that far apart,” Tyler said. Dustin Leukam said Craig was a “pick-me-up kind of guy and a hugger.” Brandon Kurtz agreed. Dustin Kalthoff said Craig “would bust his butt to get something done.” There were 116 students in the Melrose Area Class of 2012. “We were a tight-knit group, who always had fun during get-togethers,” Schmidt

A loon makes itself at home on a 6- by 6-foot raft, which Bud and Pat Moening made for the birds that fly back from the Gulf of Mexico after winter. The Moenings live on Little Birch Lake near Grey Eagle.
Loon-a-tics Moenings provide nesting rafts for state birds By LAURA HINTZEN Staff Writer GREY EAGLE – There are approximately 12,000 loons that make their homes for the
summer on nearly 13,000 lakes in Minnesota each year. In the continental U.S., Minnesota has more loons than any other state. Luckily, Bud and Pat Moening of Grey Eagle, reside on
Little Birch Lake where loons have nested on rafts the Moenings have made for more than 35 years. In fact, one loon pair has come back for the past 15 years. The reason they keep coming back to Little Birch Lake, year after year, is evident. When the loons arrive in early May, they are welcomed home to four, 6-by 6-foot nesting rafts which the Moenings have helped construct and help place in the water for them to
use. Neighbors even call the Moenings the, “loon-a-tics,” because of their love for loons. “Every bit of the loons is a pleasure and a treat for us, but seeing them up close is what we like most about loons on Little Birch,” Pat said. The rafts are made out of PVC pipe, along with fencing fastened around them and Styrofoam sheeting for insulation, and to help them float. The rafts are extremely light and reusable, and are anchored by
cement blocks. “We’ve known they like stuff on of the nest like cattails or straw, which works really well,” Pat said. “If we don’t put it on, they don’t use the nest. They also like the nest to be right where it was the year before.” Finding that correct placement has been a process of trial and error.

Craig loved the family farm. So much so that he planned to run it with Adam. Tyler figured if Craig would have been there in person he would have been supportive and said, “Atta boy. You got it!” Everyone agreed, Craig was there in spirit. “With Craig passing, I keep him in mind often and strive to be the best I can be,” Schmidt said. “He is truly missed.”

said. That was the case on May 6. He said it was great picking rocks with classmates and Craig’s family, including his nephew, that day. They started around 10 a.m. and went until 6 p.m., stopping for a few breaks. “We picked many loads of rocks,” said Schmidt. “The Wiechmanns were very happy with the outcome. Adam made a comment about being able to go fishing, something that he and his dad love to do but struggle to find time for.”

Pat and Bud Moening are known as the “Loon-a-tics” on Little Birch Lake in Grey Eagle for their love and fascination with loons.
about the loons is driving past them in the boat with a glass of wine in the late afternoon and hearing the loon calls. “We joke around and say, “’and there’s our loon and there’s our loon!’” Everyone who comes to visit gets a boat ride and of course a lesson on loons. “I don’t think I could live any place that didn’t have loons calling. From the first time you hear them in the spring until late fall, when the little ones are beginning to make their own calls, it is spectacular. You can get up any time of the night and some loon is calling. You can hear them echoing from Big Birch Lake, so to us, those are the highlights of having loons on our lake. What a reward for so little work,” Pat said. Bud summed it up by saying, “This, to us, is heaven on Earth.”

chicks hatch on their nests. We’ve gotten the people really interested in the loons, especially when they have chicks and they are careful not to get too close and to use binoculars rather than trying to get real close in,” Bud said. “We really enjoy seeing people looking out for these remarkable birds.” The Moenings see a few loons gathered on the lake some mornings and then more loons will fly in. They have seen groups of seven or eight loons – Bud saw one group of 15 swimming together. “They swim one way, dive, then chase back the other way and wave their wings. It’s like a synchronized swimming show,” Pat said. “They’ll be together for 10 to 15 minutes and then part ways and go back to their own lakes. It’s called socializing.” But their favorite part

had about 125 horses. He drew cartoon figures of horses and cowboys, but never stick men. “Dad had this little joke book of cowboys,” he said. “I used to sit and copy the figures in there all the time.” Thornton’s parents moved to Louisiana about 30 years ago, where they continue to raise quarter horses. “I’m the only one left here of the immediate family,” he said. By day, Thornton is the machine maintenance person at Glacial Wood, a factory in Brooten. Nights and weekends, though, are filled with art. He no longer draws horses like he did as a kid. Over the years his interests and subjects have evolved. He has done many landscapes and figure scenes, and sometimes figures within the landscapes. He works with oils, pastels, oil pastels, pencil, charcoal and printing, and usually creates 50-60 drawings and paintings a year. Normally, he has five or six works in progress at any given time, ranging in size from as large as 4- by 5-feet to as small as 9- by 12-inches. Living with his wife, Jana, along the east branch of the Chippewa River, his favorite subject revolves around the nature found just outside his studio, a separate building adjacent to their home. “These days I am fascinated with fog and it’s been that way for quite a while,” Thornton said. “This section of the

(Top) Jeff Thornton lives on the east branch of the Chippewa River in Terrace. Over the years, his surroundings have provided inspiration for his art. (Left) Dreaming River Studio in Terrace is home to the creative mind of Jeff Thornton.
TERRACE – Jeff Thornton sits in his studio, reflecting on a time when as a kid he was constantly drawing, like he does now. The son of ranchers near Vining, one of his favorite things to draw was fence lines. “Back then I was really young and unbeknownst to me I was doing something that would make a major impact in my art career,” Thornton said. “I would make these imaginary fence line drawings. I would have many hills with fence posts receding in the distance. The posts would be large in the front of the drawing and get smaller as they went farther back in the drawing and over the hills. I was actually doing perspective. When you study at art school or when you read any of the old books from painting masters, that’s one of the first things you learn. I was actually teaching myself that as a kid.” Thornton said he was drawing all the time, and his mom noticed that. “She never pushed me, but every Christmas they would buy me drawing supplies and things, encouraging me that way.” Thornton said.

river in Terrace is called the Dreaming River. Every morning the fog rolls in, kind of like Lake Superior. It’s dense and it’s extremely hard to capture so that’s a challenge for me.” He has done a series of paintings of the river fog, and later this year will be showcasing them in an exhibition called “River Dreams,” which will include about 25 oil paintings and all the studies he used to do them. Thornton paints from life, and his studies are the preliminary drawings he does on the scene. He enjoys doing the studies, which he does in charcoal, pastel, oil pastel or whatever medium he chooses for that particular subject. Later, back in his studio, he uses the studies to develop his paintings, though not trying to copy them. “I start my painting from the studies, but let the paint and mood take me on new adventures while working on the painting,” Thornton said. Last year, Thornton had three major shows. One of them was a large prairie show called “A Prairie Discovery,” with 20 canvases and most of the studies that were used to create them. The prairie landscape theme is something Thornton is passionate about, stating that only 1 percent of the natural prairie is left in Minnesota. Held at the Stevens History Museum in Morris, it was a group exhibition with Thornton, his wife, Jana, who is a photographer, and Edie Barrett, a sculptor with all work focusing on the prairie. He felt the show was a great educational opportuni-

ty about the prairie for the public, with his landscapes, Jana’s photography and Barrett’s nest sculptures of the different birds that live on the prairie. Though it wasn’t his biggest show, it was the one that meant a lot to him. Some artists have influenced him more than others. Having studied the work of many over the years, one stands out, Vincent Van Gogh.
“Sun Coming Up on a Gravel Road” is one of many landscapes painted in oil on canvas by Thornton.

Thornton works one of several pieces currently in progress in his studio.
“Vincent is the one artist that first moved me when I was a kid. It was like a revelation, I realized that this energy I had was artistic energy and there was a legitimate outlet for it,” he said. And as Thornton’s subjects have changed, so has his style. “I used to draw very realistic when I was younger, but over the years one’s knowledge of art and life expand and open up to many forms of expression which includes abstraction and expression,” he said, with the current River Dreams series being an example of that abstraction and new direction in his art. A 1980 graduate of the College of Associated Arts in St. Paul, Thornton’s work has been recognized with various accolades during his career, though two of them stand out in his mind. Several years ago, one of his paintings, a night scene of St. Paul called “City Scape,” took first place at the Minnesota
State Fair. It wasn’t the placement, however, that made the moment memorable, but the fact that it was judged by Charles Beck from Fergus Falls, an artist highly respected by Thornton and throughout Minnesota. Then last year, he received second place in the pastel division for a winter scene of fish houses on Lake Minnewaska called “West Winds of Winter,” at an international art exhibition in Elk River. The show was judged by Curt Pederson, who is the curator of the Swedish Museum and Institute in Minneapolis. “He didn’t know me. Later, during the reception, he located me and said, ‘Are you Jeff Thornton? And is that Lake Minnewaska?’” Thornton said. “I said ‘Yes.’ It turns out that Pederson had grown up in Starbuck.” From there, Thornton’s painting went on tour to the Swedish Art Musuem and Institute in Minneapolis. These days, he is trying to slow the pace of life down gradually. Thornton is represented by Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz., and sells a few paintings a year while having exhibitions at museums and major galleries each year, but he said he has never painted to make money. “Creating art has surrounded my life, to explore the undiscovered within myself,” Thornton said. “That is the day-to-day journey for me, to paint in layers of color and thought.” If you would like to see more of Jeffrey Thornton’s art go to www.jeffreysthornton.com or find him on Facebook.
