Businessman, 2 others killed in Highway 14 crash A prominent West Concord area businessman and two others, including a boy struggling with cancer, died in a head-on crash along U.S. Highway 14 outside of Dodge Center Nov. 6.

The Minnesota State Patrol identified the three victims as Scott Hodgman, 50, of West Concord and Jack Reich, 43, of Zap, N.D. and his 10-yearold son Vander Reich. All three were declared dead at the scene.

Sadness is how one highway safety proponent described his reaction when learning

about last week’s triple fatality. Les Abraham serves on the Owatonna City Council and is president of the U.S. Highway 14 Partnership.

“I didn’t know Scott, but I knew his dad and his business,” Abraham said. “It’s going to be a devastating loss for the family,” he said, adding it will be equally devastating for the family from North Dakota.

Hodgman was a familiar businessman in the West Concord and Claremont areas as he was involved in a family business,

Hodgman Drainage Co.

Deadly Crash The crash was reported at 6:30 p.m. on Election Day on U.S. Highway 14 just west of Minnesota Highway 56. Sheriff Jim Jensen said the accident happened in the area where the road narrows from four lanes to two lanes.

Reich’s wife, Mardee Reich, 39, was injured in the crash. She was airlifted from the scene to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester where she was listed in serious

condition.

The Reichs were bringing Vander back home to North Dakota from the same hospital where his mother is now recovering. The 10-year-old boy had just completed brain cancer surgery in Rochester. He was scheduled to return to Rochester for further treatment in a couple weeks.

The State Patrol said the pickup driven by Hodgman was heading east when it crossed into the path of the westbound SUV. It’s unknown why Hodg-

man’s vehicle crossed over the centerline.

All occupants in the vehicles were reported to have been wearing their seatbelts.

Highway 14 from Highway 56 to Claremont was closed for about four hours after the accident. Some of the traffic was diverted onto Highway 56.

he citizens of Claremont chose a new mayor in this month’s election and the decision wasn’t an easy one.

The previous mayor, Virginia Busch, chose not to seek reelection, which opened the door for a new face to take the reins. The two challengers for the position were county commissioner, Don Gray, and long-time Claremont resident Ralph Schwanke.

Gray ran on a platform based around his extensive experience in county government as well as his familiarity with the Claremont area. He believes that the current mayor and city

council have done an efficient job and would like to see their hard work continue into the future.

Gray Now that he has been elected Gray hopes just to be able to continue past successes and maintain the momentum the city has going at the present time.

Hot Pursuit: Honoring all the area’s veterans is the least we can do for those who braved combat....page 2A

The West Concord Historical Society (WCHS) recently added a new exhibit to the artifacts and heirlooms on display at the former site of the West Concord School. The new exhibit is focused around the recent acquisition of several items belonging to the late G.E. “Doc” Olson of West Concord.

“We were really excited about this because we knew a lot of people would say, oh, yeah he was my doctor,” explained Historical Society member Janis Ray. Olson was one of the country/ small town doctors who were

available at all hours of the day and made house calls on a regular basis. He was the town’s only doctor and as such, delivered many children during his tenure.

Ray noted that all of her children were delivered by Olson.

“You could call him twentyfour hours a day, even in the middle of the night and he would see you,” Ray said. “Doctors, you know, they don’t do that anymore. They were dedicated.”

Though he began his career as a doctor in West Concord -- he was one of the youngest graduates from the University of Minnesota at the time.

Our View

Tragic crash bears need for wider road A tragic crash on a busy stretch of road between Dodge Center and Claremont last week is renewing calls for making the roadway safer by expanding it into four lanes.

On Election night, a prominent West Concord businessman and a father and son with brain cancer from North Dakota died on U.S. Highway 14 by Dodge Center. This tragedy happened along a two-lane stretch of road that has received incredible scrutiny over the years.

Since he got onto the Owatonna City Council in 1996, Les Abraham joined a coalition to improve Highway 14. It’s called the U.S. Highway 14 Partnership and Abraham serves as the group’s president.

The partnership has one goal in mind—to make Highway 14 four lanes from Dodge Center to Owatonna and from North Mankato to New Ulm. “My goal is to get four lanes from border to border,” Abraham said. He and the other 30 or so members of the group say it’s high time for transportation officials and politicians to make something happen.

“We just can’t have people dying along that road,” Abraham said after last week’s triple fatality. He has counted eight fatal crashes in the 16-mile stretch from Dodge Center to Owatonna in the past 10 years.

Two years ago a 16-year-old Blooming Prairie boy died on Highway 14 near Claremont while heading to a football playoff game.

We couldn’t agree more with Abraham and the Highway 14 Partnership. Something needs to be done to improve the safety of the roadway. This latest tragedy should push the calls for safety to the forefront once again.

Part of the frustration being experienced by Abraham’s group is that MnDOT has pulled Highway 14 off the road construction list indefinitely. In other words, there are currently no plans to do anything with the road anytime in the future.

Abraham isn’t confident that last week’s fatalities will trigger officials to do anything. “My fear is that it won’t, but my hope is that it will,” he said.

This is where you can step in to help. It’s important for citizens to call, write or e-mail local and federal political leaders and Minnesota transportation officials about concerns related to Highway 14. We need to get the road project back on the radar of officials. We all need to play a part in opening people’s eyes for the critical need for a four-lane road.

The price tag to widen Highway 14 into four lanes would run about $160 million, according to Abraham.

But no price can ever replace the countless lives lost on that roadway.

Highway 14 needs to be widened from Dodge Center to Owatonna. Failing to take action on this is like playing Russian roulette with the thousands of motorists who use that roadway every day.

Hot Pursit

Rick Bussler Honoring all the area’s veterans is the least we can do for those who braved combat battle and fought for our country.

For the past several years, I have always made a point of paying special tribute to an elite group of people who are known as “veterans.”

Last week in my other publication, The Times of Blooming Prairie, I took on the ambitious project of listing out the names of all 4,000 veterans in Steele County. We devoted four pages in the newspaper to this effort.

While the list is likely quite smaller in Dodge County, I would like to do the same next year for the News Enterprise.

Veterans deserve all the

MISSION STATEMENT

It’s never easy for a community to lose a valued member, especially when the community is the size of West Concord and that community member

is Scott Hodgman. Scott was killed in a traffic accident on Nov. 6.

I didn’t know Scott well, I knew his face and knew him well enough to say hello, but I do know that he was a valuable member of the community and well-known and liked throughout.

“It’s a tough, tough thing,” commented Burt Boe, who knew Scott for fifteen years.

“He was awfully good to the city. He helped out so much with Survival Days and water problems and things. He had a spectacular personality and business ability. He will be

missed.”

No doubt the loss of Hodgman’s knowledge and ability will be felt by the city, the loss to his family will no doubt be devastating, especially to his wife, Beth, and children Amanda, Nick and Ryan. His grandchildren will also feel the loss of a grandparent they will miss the chance to get to know as well as they should have.

“He was a hard working, energetic guy,” said Al Organ.

“The loss to the city, though, is minimal compared to the loss to his family. He always looked at the positive side of things.

He was a good person, a loving

Guest Column

By JANE NYQUIST The Four Corners Partnership wants to remind everyone that the 37th Great American Smokeout will take place on Thursday, November 15, 2012.

This annual event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The purpose of the Smokeout is to encourage smokers to quit. Quitting smoking for the day of the Smokeout can be the first step towards a healthier life.

Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, causing about one out of every five deaths. In Minnesota, about 625,000 adults still smoke. Each year, tobacco

who served in all American wars.

There are 21.5 million military veterans in the United States with just over a million being women. About 9 million of those are age 65 and older.

We owe each veteran a personal thank you each for serving America with honor, courage and commitment. Without their heroics, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the freedoms that make America such a special place to live.

As a nation, we have prospered because we have always had citizens willing to rise to answer the call to serve in hours of need. I can’t think of a more deserving group who should get the utmost respect and dignity from everyone than veterans.

We owe them a great deal.

Veterans have always served with distinction. They have stood proud and tall with courage, dedication and patriotism—keystones in our American way of life—as they have gone in hot pursuit of protecting our country.

And for that we owe them our gratitude.

use is responsible for more than 5,100 deaths and almost $3 billion in preventable health care costs in our state alone.

For decades, Minnesota has had consistent, significant declines in smoking, but now our smoking rate for adults has stalled at approximately 16 percent. Our young people continue to smoke at higher rates than the general population, with 6,800 kids becoming daily smokers each year.”

Most smokers are reluctant smokers who wish they could quit. In fact, nearly 70 percent of U.S. smokers want to quit for good. The tobacco industry spends over $150 million per year to market its products in Minnesota to retain current smokers and recruit a new generation of “replacement smok-

ers”. Youth and young adults are prime targets for tobacco marketing. Nearly 90% of adult smokers start smoking before they are 18 years old.

It has been almost 50 years since the first Surgeon General’s report that linked smoking with lung cancer. Today, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health. If you ask a smoker if kids should start smoking, the answer will be ‘no’. Encouraging smokers to quit is important, but the fact that this is the 37th Great American Smokeout makes it clear that helping smokers to quit is only part of the solution.”

One of the most effective ways to prevent youth smoking and to encourage smokers to quit is to increase tobacco prices is by increasing the sales tax on

husband, father and grandfather.”

Both Organ and Boe also noted that Scott will be missed at breakfast at Omar’s Café, at which he was a regular attendee.

The accident that killed Hodgman also took the life of two passengers in the other vehicle involved in the crash.

Both 43-year-old Jack Reich and 10-year-old Vander Reich of Zap, N.D., were killed in the accident as well. Vander Reich and his family were returning home from Rochester, where Vander was undergoing cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic. Those

who are mourning the loss of Scott shouldn’t forget these two victims in their thoughts and prayers, either.

It’s never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one and I’m sure there will be many difficult times ahead for those mourning the loss of those killed in this accident. The most we can do is try to remember them and all that they gave us while they were here on this earth with us.

I think Boe said it best when talking about Scott. “”I don’t know what else to say,” he said. “He will be missed.”

recognition we can give them.

It’s great that we can recognize them in person through Veteran’s Day observances rather than remembering them during Memorial Day services.

Whether you’re a veteran from West Concord, Claremont, Dodge Center or anywhere else in this wonderful United States, I want you to know how much I appreciate the sacrifices you have made in your lives to help make our lives better.

It’s important for us to remember that freedom isn’t free.

These veterans bear this out in so many ways.

On this Veteran’s Day, we all need to take a moment to thank those who have worn our country’s uniform in the past and those who wear it today.

Veteran’s Day originated as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.

President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veteran’s Day as a way to honor those

TRITON TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

HODGMAN

Continued from front

Continued from front

Rohwer initially taught Phys Ed for two years before reexamining her career and refocusing on special education. She served as a long-term substitute last year and this is her first fulltime year as a special education teacher. Rohwer has been enjoying her time at Triton thus far and hopes that her experiences will only get better with time.

“Oh, boy, why did I decide to become a teacher,” Rohwer said when asked how she chose teaching as a career. “Well, it’s kind of hard to explain, but I just started taking classes in other things and, one day, I just kind of decided that I was going to go into Phys Ed. I started taking classes and started getting engaged in the schools in Mankato and it was something that I realized that I wanted to do.”

Special education wasn’t what Rohwer initially planned on teaching – her original focus was on physical education – it was just something that eventually happened over time.

“I was subbing here in Phys Ed kind of in between finding employment and I did a lot of subbing in special education rooms,” she explained. “I just kind of realized that it was more my style.”

In the classic double-edged sword associated with teaching, Rohwer enjoys the fact that, in teaching special education, every day is something new. This is, however, a major challenge associated with teaching special education as well as it is trying, sometimes, to keep pace with an ever-changing routine. Rohwer said that the staff at Triton has been very supportive and helpful, though, and this has helped to get her settled in.

“I’m not a very unique person,” laughed Rohwer when asked for something interesting about her. “I like to golf. I think Joe Hanson was just coming out here as the golf coach in my last year, so it’s been a while. [I’ve been golfing] a long time, a long time.”

Get a HEAD START

Besides the State Patrol, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, Dodge Center Ambulance and fire departments from Dodge Center and Claremont assisted at the scene.

Improved Roadway Needed Sheriff Jensen said there are not typically many accidents in the area where this triple fatality took place. Even so, Jensen said he would like to see the entire stretch of Highway 14 from Owatonna to Rochester made into four lanes.

Abraham of the roadway partnership agrees.

He is calling for Highway 14 to be made into four lanes from Dodge Center to Owatonna.

Abraham is hoping that last week’s tragedy will help further the cause for widening the roadway.

Jensen said it’s imperative to expand the road “for the safety of everybody on the road,” He said a four lane roadway would separate the on-coming traffic from each other. With four lanes, he said there would not be the head-on crashes like what happened last week.

Abraham said he has tracked at least eight fatalities since 2001 along the 16-mile two-lane stretch. “We just can’t keep having people die along the road,” he said. “I’m sad that something like this has to happen,” he said

after the most recent fatalities.

Even though three lives were lost last week, Abraham isn’t confident that it will be enough to push for roadway improvements. “We’re trying to get something done, but we can’t get it done fast enough,” he said.

Abraham encourages citizens to join the Highway 14 coalition to make improvements. He wants people to speak to lawmakers both on the state and federal levels as well as putting pressure on transportation officials to find the money to get the job done.

Funding is a huge obstacle.

The price tag to expand Highway 14 into four lanes is esti-

After the war, however, Olson returned to West Concord to continue serving as the town’s doctor.

Olson was a very popular member of the West Concord community for many years. In addition to his duties as the town physician, Olson also served on the school board for many years.

The WCHS already had several items from Olson’s office – including his black doctor’s bag -- but they recently added his ex-

One of Abraham’s greatest frustrations is that the Highway 14 expansion has been pulled off MnDOT’s list of improvements.

The play revolves around a famous radio celebrity who breaks his hip on a visit to a middleclass home and proceeds to disrupt the small Ohio Town.

It seemed like 2000 all over again last Friday night when the Triton Cobras traveled to Waterville to take on the WEM Buccaneers. The Buccaneers were the undefeated reining state champions and the Cobras were the definitive underdog.

The common denominators that night were the never-say-die attitude of the Cobra team and the uphill challenge that they faced.

Triton prevailed once again with a hard-fought 27-26 nail-biter in the section 2AA championship game.

This & That

Mary Ann Henry I write this the morning after election and now we know who will be filling each office as the terms of office end. On this morning after the big day some people will be smiling but others will unhappy (to say the least) about the results.

This election in which we vote for president happens every four years. We have heard endless talk for months about all those seeking each office so, though some people might be happy with the result of the election and others are not, one thing is for certain: everyone is happy that they won’t have to listen to all the political talk on who is the best and who they should vote for every time they flip on their on their television.

Some people even turned it off so as not to have to continue to hear what they had heard so many times before. We all now know that our country’s present leader will be in office for another four years, whether he was you’re the one you voted for or not. Our current President

is our 44th and, when looking back some after the election, little is remembered about what some people did while serving as president.

Our first president, who was George Washington, was born way back in 1732 in England and became president in 1789.

But what most people may not know is he would have never been our president if a ship accident hadn’t happened.

George’s great grandfather was a mate on a small English ship that went aground in the Potomac River in 1656. By the time it was repaired he had decided to settle in America.

This strange series of events in his life resulted in his future great-grandson becoming our country’s first president who is often referred to as the father of our country.

Yesterday, like I have done on many other years in the past, I served as an election judge which, in the bygone days of our country, this wouldn’t have been possible for a woman to serve as election judge. In fact as most people know women weren’t given the right to vote till 1920 when an amendment to the constitution gave women that right. I guess looking back we can say we have come a long way and we not only see women at the polls, but many on our ballots as well.

It was good to see students who had reached their 18th birthday by Election Day coming to vote. This also once wouldn’t have been possible

in the past but that changed in 1970 when the voting age, which had been 21, was lowered to 18. It was also great to see older voters some of whom weren’t in the best of health.

But they did not let that stop them from voting and they went to the polls using canes, walkers and even wheelchairs.

Some people, though they couldn’t make it at all on this day, whether it be for health reasons or other reasons, voted by absentee ballot.

My first time to vote for president I had to wait till I was 23 since I lacked a year in age for the last presidential election year and I went to vote carrying a little bundle in my arms who was born on Friday the week before. It did not stop me from exercising my right to vote.

When voting we hope we have made the best choice but we will never ever know for we will never know what the losers would have done if they had been the ones to get the office. Election 2012 is now part of our country’s history and, whether the results made you happy or unhappy, be thankful you are allowed to vote, for in far too many countries you wouldn’t be allowed to do so.

As you know by now the News-Enterprise has been sold and the new owner, I’m happy to say, has asked me to stay on and write my weekly. So you are stuck with me in case you were wondering.

A tradition of excellence

By LOGAN BERNSTEIN Staff Writer Anyone familiar with Main Street in Kenyon will know the familiar sight of Tatge Jewelry. The store has been a long-time fixture in the community and has been in operation since 1975.

The family jewelry store does everything from setting loose stones and setting them in mountings that the customers want, to repair work. The diamonds used on the store’s jewelry are all hand-picked in Belgium, though the owner, Specializing in Larry Tatge, doesn’t make the trip himself any more.

Farm“We’re Equipment Repair a full-fledged jewelry store,” said Tatge. “We also sell a lot of clocks and do clock repair. Right now I’ve got 29 grandfather clocks on hand and about 200 clocks total.”

In addition to jewelry and clocks, Tatge also does custom awards work. He currently has a contract with the Hiawatha

Valley League (HVL) to provide all of their awards work. The HVL encompasses Triton, Kenyon-Wanamingo and KassonMantorville as well Cannon Falls, Pine Island Byron among many others. The awards business does trophies, engraving, plaques, ribbons and medals and pretty much anything else customers may want.

Tatge mostly runs the business himself, though he does have one part-time employee and partnerships with two trade shops for jewelry repair and two people who help fix clocks if he gets backed up.

The jewelry business wasn’t something that Tatge planned on doing with his life, it was just something that he fell into.

“I was working for the Chevrolet dealer next door and this place was looking for a young guy to help with the store,” Tatge recalled.

Though he enjoys most aspects of running the business, Tatge’s favorite parts of operating the store are interacting with

“It’s got its pluses and its minuses,” he said.

Business has been pretty steady recently, even though the economy has been in a slump. Tatge does pretty steady business regardless, though he noted that he hasn’t been selling as many large items as usual. With no plans to go anywhere anytime soon, it’s clear Tatge Jewelry will be a fixture in Kenyon for a long time to come.

Obituary

Pastor’s Corner

Scott D. Hodgman, 50, West Concord Scott D. Hodgman, 50, of West Concord, died Tuesday, November 6, 2012 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident in Dodge County.

He was born April 25, 1962 in Owatonna, the son of Donald and Elaine (Ditch) Hodgman.

Scott attended school in Claremont and graduated from West Concord High School in 1980.

Scott was united in marriage to Beth Hopkins on June 29, 1979 in Sioux Falls, S.D., and the couple made their home in West Concord. Scott worked for Louie Loosbrock until 1982, when Scott’s father Donald started Hodgman Drainage Company.

Scott began to work for his father, later owning the company with his brother Dan. Scott was a Concord Township officer

for many years, Dodge County Planning and Zoning Committee, involved with the Dodge County Fair board, West Concord Community Club, and involved with the Land Improvement Contractors Association in Minnesota and Iowa. Scott’s passion was for land improvement. He also enjoyed traveling, especially to Hawaii and fishing in Alaska, along with flying, snowmobiling, and motorcycling. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his family.

He is survived by his wife Beth Hodgman of West Concord, daughter, Amanda (and Mason) Madery of Kasson, sons, Nick (and friend Mackenzie Webb) Hodgman of Dodge Center and their children Nolan and Olivia, Ryan (and Adrienne) Hodgman of Dodge Center and their children Gracelyn and Tucker.

He is also survived by his parents Donald and Elaine Hodgman of Claremont, brothers, Mike (and Karen) Hodgman of Zumbrota, Dan (and Lori)

Brought to you by: 800 5th Ave NW Kasson, MN 634-9500 Dear Savvy Senior, Can lifting weights help with age-related health problems? At age 70, I have diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis and recently read that strength training could improve my conditions. What can you tell me?

Looking for Help Dear Looking A growing body of research shows that strength training exercises can have a profound impact on a person’s health as they age – and you’re never too old to start.

Regular strength training, done at least two nonconsecutive days a week, helps you build muscle strength, increases your bone density and improves your balance, coordination and stamina. It can also help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, back pain, depression and obesity. And some studies even show that it helps improve cognitive function too.

Safety First For the most part, strength training exercises – especially if you start conservatively and progress slowly – are safe for most seniors, even those with serious health conditions. But, if you have health concerns or if you are currently inactive, you should talk to your doctor about what may be appropriate for you. A good self-help resource to help you find an appropriate, safe exercise program is the “Exercise and Screening for You� tool at easyforyou.info.

Getting Started If you’ve never done strength training exercises before, you may want to work with a personal trainer for a few sessions to help you develop a safe and effective routine you can con-

tinue on your own. They cost anywhere from $20 to $100 per hour. To find one, ask your health care provider or contact a good health club or fitness facility in your area. You can also search for one online at reputable sites like acefitness.org or ideafit.com.

If personal training isn’t an option, there are lots of great senior strength training videos you can purchase to guide you through a wide variety of exercises that you can do at home.

Collage Video (collagevideo. com, 800-819-7111) sells dozens of age and fitness appropriate DVD’s at prices usually ranging between $10 and $20.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.

This summer my cousin passed away. She was only a few years older than I am and so I have been, Sauer perhaps, more aware of the passing of time and life. Maybe it is the witness of nature around us to the cycle of life that has led many faith traditions to use November as a time to remember the dead.

While contemporary society seems uncomfortable talking about death, the Christian community reflects on death in light of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

His experience has changed our perspective on death and has given us hope for a future of eternal life.

A number of years ago, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago died after a long battle with cancer. At the time, Newsweek magazine featured a cover story on the cardinal entitled: Teaching Us How To Die. The authors reflected on the life and very public death of this man who had touched the lives of so many – and not only those in the Catholic Church. Even his dying

became a moment of teaching and witness. He reminded us that death is a “transition from earthly life to life eternal.�

And while our heads might tell us that is true we often live in fear of death. We fear the unknown, the possibility of an end to our existence. We are concerned with what happens to us – not as a physical body – but as a person, a human being with a soul and a life which has meaning.

The opening words of the General Introduction to the Roman Catholic Order of Christian Funerals states clearly and succinctly the Christian attitude in response to human death. “In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, the Son of God, by his death and resurrection, has broken the chains of sin and death that bound humanity.�

The death, resurrection and glorification of Jesus, what we call the Paschal Mystery, become the central dynamic at work in our response to the death of a Christian.

In His own death, Jesus experienced all that we do when confronted by that reality. He felt the darkness, the threat, the loneliness. He knew the powerlessness and the suffering. What is unique

and salvific is the response of Jesus in the face of His own death. In His struggle Jesus accepts death. He places His hope in the Father, overcoming death itself. By His act of submission to the will of God, Jesus begins to live fully with God. In speaking of the death of Jesus, Jesuit theologian Juan Alfaro states, “the very event of death, the disintegration of man’s existence in the world, has become the personal meeting with God who ‘gives life to the dead.’� There is nothing in the human experience of death that would lead one to proclaim faith in eternal life with God. The insistence of the Christian community that we have such faith is a constant affirmation of our confidence in the power of the Risen Christ.

We are invited to see death as a friend and not an enemy. We acknowledge, with St. Francis of Assisi, “sister death� as a passageway to eternal life. It is only by letting go, trusting that God will indeed be faithful to His promises that we can embrace death and find hope in the midst of suffering and death.

Fr. John Sauer Sacred Heart Church Owatonna

Senior Classes If you don’t like exercising alone or need some motivation consider joining a gym, or call your local senior center to see if they offer any strength training exercise classes. You should also check out SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com, 888-4234632) or Silver&Fit (silverandfit.com, 877-427-4788). These are fitness programs offered in thousands of fitness centers, gyms and YMCAs throughout the U.S. that offer special classes designed for older adults.

These programs are available only to seniors that have certain Medicare supplemental policies or Medicare Advantage plans.

Tight race for Welch and Gray

By LOGAN BERNSTEIN Staff Writer Claremont saw another tightly contested election for two open seats on the city council. After a tight race that featured six individuals running for the open seats, voters in Claremont apparently chose Michelle Welch and long-time council member, Dean Gray.

As with the mayoral race, there is a possibility of a recount of the vote,

since the position won by Gray was closely contested, but more information will not be known until after press time.

Welch appeared to win her seat with a large majority of the votes. Claremont residents seem to have felt the same as those former Claremont city council members who suggested Welch run for city council in the first place.

Gray was narrowly reelected but, barring changes that might come up in

after recounting, will return to the city council for another term.

“I’m very surprised and very pleased,” Welch said of her win. “I had no idea that many people would vote.

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me.”

Now that she has been elected, Welch believes that she will be able to contribute to the city’s attempts to control spending in the coming term, which she feels is the most important

issue facing Claremont. Though she hopes she will be able to contribute, she acknowledges that she is just one person and it will take the entire council’s efforts to keep everything under control in the coming years.

Gray was unavailable for comment on the election and declined to comment prior to voters going to the polls.

With the relatively small number of votes that need to be counted, a recount in Claremont likely won’t take long and, hopefully, the community will coon know for certain who will represent them on the city council for the next term.

CLAREMONT MAYOR Continued from 1A

Kay Hanson, City Administrator, oversees voters of West Concord while they cast their votes last week. The voters came throughout the day to city hall.

“I’m not in a position to fix things, because I’m not on the inside yet,” said gray prior to the election. “Trying to get the most ‘bang for our buck’ would be a good place to start, though.”

Evidently voters felt that Gray’s experience made him the best man for the job, though the election was won by a slim margin.

There have been inquiries made about the possibility of a recount of the ballots, but nothing has come to fruition as of yet. A formal request for a recount cannot be submitted until the results have b e e n c a n vassed, though it is looki n g likely that a recount will happen at this time.

Gray, though, is grateful for the opportunity the voters seem to have given him and hopes to live up to any expectations the

voters might have.

“If it holds up through any attempts at a recount I’ll make my best effort to get the job done well,” Gray said. “I’m thankful to the voters for the opportunity to do a good job and continue the work of the former council and mayor.”

Though he was reluctant to make any firm plans, at least until he has a thorough understanding of the situation in Claremont, Gray hopes to continue ongoing storm sewer projects and anything else the council had in progress now that he has been elected.

G r a y ’s opponent in the election, Ralph Schwanke, could not be reached for comment for this article though, if a recount of the votes should turn things in his favor, he will have to take on the responsibility of running the city.

Perpich and Triton fuse Arts and English Athletes benefits

By LOGAN BERNSTEIN Staff Writer Perpich Center for Arts Education and Triton Schools recently announced an exciting new program that will merge, or integrate, arts education with Triton high school’s English program.

“Perpich has been reaching out to different regions across the state and they are focusing on Southeast Minnesota right now,” explained Triton English teacher, John Schreiber. “Triton applied for the grant and was successful. What the grant does is help make sure the curriculum is sound and successfully integrated.”

The professional development arm of Perpich Center for Arts Education, a state agency located in Golden Valley, received its second appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund of the Minnesota Legislature in order to work with a group of eleven school districts in southeast Minnesota in order to help them develop an artintegrated curriculum. Perpich began this work three years ago with a group of Lakes Country schools in northwest Minnesota, made possible by Perpich’s first Legacy Fund appropriation.

The program is still in its in-

fancy, but the initial stage will feature a combination of Schreiber’s creative writing class, art education by Ashley Ehlert and musical integration by band teacher Andy Jensen. Creative writing students will be asked to write several poems, which they have already begun, and they will then meet with Ehlert who will teach the students about several visual art principals. The students will then create pieces of art that incorporate the same ideas as those in the poem.

The third piece of the integration is music. Band teacher Andy Jensen will meet with the students to discuss musical ideas and principals. He will then work with students, using the program Garage Band, to create a musical composition using the same ideas as the poem and the visual art they have already created. Schreiber is hoping that the students will have access to iPads in order to work with Garage Band more efficiently.

The three ideas will then be merged into one presentation in which the visual art is displayed while the student recites their poem and the music plays. The presentations will be recorded on video and uploaded on YouTube. A key portion of the Perpich program is to share what other teachers and classes have

from Leadership Day

By EMILY HODGMAN Student Writer On Nov. 16, Mr. Henderson, Triton’s Athletic Director, is taking two boys and two girls from grades 9-11 to Leadership Day. This camp will be at Lourdes High School in Rochester. The students chosen are athletes who show great leadership on the field and in school. Henderson said, “Leadership is something you can never have enough of.”

All the schools in southeastern Minnesota are invited but not all schools go. Henderson said, “We

“We’re still planning everything. Next week we’re going to sit down and plan a time,” said Schreiber. “It will probably be sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

The integration with the cre-

haven’t been there in a couple of years so I think it’s time to go this year.” To choose these leaders, Henderson asked the coaches from each sport to send him names of players who they thought were good leaders or players that would benefit from this camp.

These athletes will go to develop better leadership skills and to learn how to apply these skills in their games or practices. There will be a motivational speaker speaking at the camp about what it means to be a leader.

Veterans remembered for war service

By LOGAN BERNSTEIN Staff Writer This past Sunday was Veterans’ Day, a day on which we honor all those who have served in the military to protect our country. The day saw several different events throughout the community, including an event in Wasioja to commemorate those veterans who served during the Civil War. According to Delano Paulson, who served in the Marines starting in 1951, it’s very important that we remember all of the men and women who have served this country.

Paulson joined the Marines when he was eighteen, though

he would have joined at seventeen had his mother allowed it.

The winter of 1951 saw heavy snowfall in Minnesota and Paulson made the transition from this frigid environment to the much warmer and snow-free climes of San Diego, Calif.

“I didn’t think my dad was going to be able to make it to meet the bus,” Paulson recalled. “But we did and I was shipped off to the cities where I was inducted into the Marine Corps.”

Paulson was raised on a farm, so basic training wasn’t as challenging for him as it was for some recruits. After his training, he was assigned as an advanced training instructor. Though he’s not certain why he was selected for the position, he believes that

his test showed he was a good typist -- somewhere around 45 words-per-minute without errors – and that he was used to public speaking. Because of what he recalls was deemed he command of the King’s English, Paulson was made a lead instructor and was responsible for training troops to be sent overseas to fight in the Korean War. During his service as an instructor he lived off-base and remembers that he was able to play beach volleyball regularly.

Paulson noted that almost all veterans are extremely proud of their service, regardless of where or when they served.

“Only about one in forty is put on the front lines,” Paulson explained. “The rest of us either

Paulson feels that honoring veterans isn’t just important to the vets, though. It is also important for young people to spend time with those veterans and learn from them first-hand.

“Whether it was the civil war, or right-now war, there are people willing to put their life on the line to protect the freedoms that we have,” Paulson said. “The freedom we had to go on Tuesday to vote and not be threatened or told how to vote or if we

can vote.”

Paulson is glad that we live in a nation that has these freedoms, but also that we live in one that is smart enough to thank these people who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms.

“Veterans’ Day is a beautiful reminder to me that the country has stopped and taken a second look and reminder of what’s transpired, what makes these veterans,” Paulson explained when asked how he feels about the holiday. “We all haven’t been on the front lines, but we’ve all been available to go.”

Paulson also noted that Veterans’ Day is a unique opportu-

nity for the public to thank these veterans in person. He feels that people should make an effort to get together with veterans and listen to their stories and experiences.

“On Veterans’ Day people should also take the opportunity to visit with a vet and listen to them,” he said.

Honoring our veterans is an important thing to do, not just on Veterans’ Day, but all through the year.

“The recognition by the community just to say thanks is unbeatable,” Paulson said. “It’s always nice to hear a thank you.”
