Kiwi caught in PNG bandit attack

A New Zealander caught in a bandit attack while trekking in a remote area of Papua New Guinea has given a vivid description of how he was beaten before two of the tour party's porters were hacked to death by machetes.
Nick Bennett, a former policeman from Rotorua, was belted on the head with a rifle butt when the Australia-based adventurers and their local guides were ambushed on the Black Cat Track in northern PNG's Morobe province on Tuesday night.
The 55-year-old Queensland businessman recounted the horrific encounter before the group left the PNG capital Port Moresby for Cairns in Far North Queensland today.
"We just witnessed a butchery. A slaughter. I still don't really know how to explain it to be honest. It's just appalling.
"We're very, very fortunate," Bennett told Channel 9, as he comforted fellow trekker Rod Clarke.
"The porters, their families, the villagers, we just feel so, so sorry for them."
Bennett's head was gashed when he was struck with a rifle butt when he opened his tent after hearing a commotion.
He then witnessed one of the porters being slashed with a bush knife.
"I was in the tent, I heard a lot of shouting, and I thought the boys had actually found an animal or something like that," he told the Seven Network.
"There was a lot of excitement outside and I started to put my head out of the tent and I thought I'd been shot.
"What I realised after was I'd been clubbed with a rifle barrel and it had opened my head up.
"I was just confused, just did not know what was going on until I looked up and could see a boy walking away with a mask on, shouting.
"When I looked to my left ... I could see one of the guys just attacking the porters with a bush knife and it was just a butchery.
"They would go up to the porters and attack again and again," said Bennett, who has lived in Australia for 34 years.
He went to primary school in Tokoroa, Hamilton and Rotorua before joining the police in the mid-1970s.
Up to six men armed with machetes, bush knives, a rifle and a homemade gun, were involved in the attack; at least two of the nine trekkers sustained injuries, including Peter Stevens, who suffered a leg wound.
"The first thing they did was lay into the porters, basically hacking and slashing," Stevens told the Australian Associated Press.
"They killed one guy just about outright."
Stevens said he and the rest of the group were forced to lie on the ground as the men ransacked their packs, stealing passports and other items.
"They then laid into us with bush knives, hitting us with the flats of the knives," said Stevens, who had feared they too might be killed.
"You can't tell whether they're going to hit you with the flat side. Some people were cut."
Two of the attackers were quite obviously on drugs and "they did the most damage", he said.
After their ordeal the trekkers, led by expat Australian Christie King, walked four hours along a trail also used by their attackers to reach safety in the town of Wau - a move described by local officials as "pretty gutsy".
"The porters were in no condition to move at that stage," Stevens said.
"There were no lights and a couple of false alarms. We could smell the marijuana ahead of us. We could see tracks on the path."
He praised the bravery of King, the only woman in the group.
"Christie King, the tour guide, was amazing. When the raskols [attackers] demanded to speak to the boss man, Christie stood up."
Bennett, who runs a team building business in Mackay, told Fairfax Media he had completed PNG's iconic Kokoda Track in 2006 and had trained for a year to be fit enough for the six-day trek which cost A$3895 (NZ$4467) a head.
The group first visited the wreckage of a World War II US B17 bomber before continuing on to the village of Banis Donki, where they set up camp for the night.
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said the attackers would face the newly introduced death penalty if convicted.
It is understood some of the men had escaped from a police station in Wau. Police and villagers are hunting them.

MOSCOW, June 24 /TASS/. Russia hopes that Armenians protesters will reach a compromise with the authorities, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said on Wednesday.
"We have been closely watching the recent events in Armenia. We hope that they will remain in legal boundaries," he said.
"We hope for the good sense and wisdom of the Armenian leadership. Judging from what we know, we believe that a compromise solution on the protesters' demands can be found," Karasin stressed.
"We hope the solution will reciprocally suit the interests of the demonstrators and the authorities. We are waiting for news from Yerevan," Karasin noted.
Asked whether the situation in Armenia could be provoked from abroad, the deputy minister answered that it should be proven. "We will carefully study all facts that had preceded those events but I would not make such snap judgements," he added.

Apples to Apples: Comparing PM2.5 Exposures and Birth Outcomes in Understudied Countries

Outdoor Air Pollution, Preterm Birth, and Low Birth Weight: Analysis of the World Health Organization Global Survey on Maternal and Perinatal Health
Mixed evidence suggests inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a component of air pollution, may adversely affect birth outcomes, and research to elucidate the potential connection is ongoing.1 A new study in EHP provides further evidence for previously described associations between PM2.5 levels and low birth weight,2,3 but it goes a step farther by focusing on low- and middle-income countries, which have generally been excluded from previous analyses.1
In pregnant women, PM2.5 may provoke oxidative stress and inflammation, cause endocrine disruption, and impair oxygen transport across the placenta, all of which can potentially lead to low birth weight (defined as less than 2,500 g) and preterm birth (before the 37th week of pregnancy).1,4 Aside from the immediate consequences in infancy, low birth weight and preterm birth can affect health throughout childhood and in adulthood.3,5,6,7
Only in China was increased estimated PM2.5 exposure associated with higher likelihood of both preterm birth and low birth weight. China had the highest estimated average PM2.5 exposures of the 22 countries studied.

The exclusion of low- and middle-income countries from earlier studies arose largely from a lack of dependable data. Health-related research on air pollution relies heavily on data gathered from air monitoring stations, which are most often placed in urban areas in developed countries.8,9 These stations provide precise data for air pollutant concentrations at particular locations. Exposure beyond these points can be extrapolated by adjusting for factors such as traffic and meteorological patterns, but only to a certain extent.5
The current study took a different approach, using 2001–2006 satellite data8 to estimate maternal PM2.5 exposures in the month prior to birth; where available, ground-monitoring data were used to confirm satellite-based estimates. The study included data on 192,900 live births in 22 countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, which were collected through the World Health Organization Global Survey on Maternal and Perinatal Health (WHOGS).10 Data included standard information on all births at participating health care facilities during 2- to 3-month periods between September 2004 and April 2008.
The statistical analysis used two models. The first provided a global estimate for all countries, while controlling for maternal factors (e.g., age, education, parity) and infant sex. The second additionally controlled for country-specific factors, such as income, urbanicity, availability of prenatal care, and per-capita health care expenditures as proxies for broader development.
Results from both models showed that higher levels of PM2.5 were associated with birth weight reduction but not preterm birth, with one exception: "In rapidly developing countries with high levels of air pollution, such as China, the highest levels of air pollution may be of concern for both preterm birth and low birth weight," says lead author Nancy L. Fleischer, an assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of South Carolina.
A key strength of the study is that it used a standard data-collection method across multiple low- and middle-income countries. The study also had several limitations. "The use of satellite imaging data is a very clever idea," says David A. Savitz, a professor of epidemiology and of obstetrics and gynecology at Brown University. "But there were real compromises that had to be made to do so—mainly that they could only examine spatial, not temporal variation; were not able to align exposure periods with the pregnancies precisely; and assigned the same exposure score within fifty kilometers of the clinic at which the women received care without being able to take into account where they lived," he says.
The researchers discuss these limitations in their report, and also point out the lack of data on indoor air pollutants and the potential influence of unmeasured confounding factors. "Hopefully, this research will spur further air pollution studies in low- and middle-income countries that can collect better measurements of both local, detailed data on air pollution and birth outcomes," says Fleischer.
Savitz agrees that further research with more reliable measurements is needed. "I can see two avenues for progress," he says. "One is to identify the truly susceptible among whom exposure causes a substantial increase in risk, not the subtle effects reported in most studies. The other avenue would be more mechanistic studies that can tightly demonstrate the intermediate links between air pollution and pathways known to affect fetal growth."

Jade is considered one of the most stunning gemstones available, and with its low cost and incredible versatility, it's no wonder jade jewelry is so popular. Jade jewelry has a decidedly masculine appearance, especially when it is set into simple settings and paired with sleek metals. If you are looking for men's jewelry with gleaming gemstones and a laid-back aesthetic, then consider men's jade jewelry. Men's jade jewelry selections, such as lustrous rings, textured bracelets, mystical pendants and simple earrings, quickly add value to any jewelry collection. Take your men's jewelry assortment to the next level with jade.
Colors: Men's gemstone jewelry may incorporate famous green jade or feature unique yellow jade. Green jade is classic and masculine; green jade rings, bracelets and necklaces can be worn with almost anything you own. Blue, purple, pink, red and white jade is also common in jewelry. Many men prefer gemstone jewelry with green, blue, red or white jade while others will love the bright colors of pink, purple and yellow jade jewelry. Jade is often set into white gold, platinum or sterling silver because the neutral silver shade complements almost any color. Green jade, red jade and yellow jade also looks great in gold gemstone jewelry.
Styles: Men's gemstone jewelry is available in so many different styles, and jade jewelry is no exception. Rings with one large jade gemstone are simple and dramatic at the same time, and jade cuff bracelets add a lot of this cool gemstone to your look. Mystical jade jewelry quickly connects you to the past and historical Asian cultures.
Stone shape: Jade is a strong stone that is perfect for carving and shaping. Jade beads are incredibly popular; consider jade beaded bracelets and necklaces for your collection. Jade can be carved into many different shapes, including dragons, Chinese characters and feathers. These large pieces of jade can be hung from a leather cord for an interesting and versatile necklace. Jade is commonly carved and engraved, and engravings are often dyed to enhance their appearance. Choose a jade stone shape that will complement the stone's color and the style of the jewelry.

Adobe Releases Major Photoshop CC Update Today | Adobe
From the ethereal work of Flora Borsi to the bold and bright art of Fredy Santiago, Photoshop is used to create much of the creative and outlandish visuals that surround us every day. Virtually every customer I meet can tell me about their "Photoshop moment." That moment in time when they discovered they could use their creative talents, paired with the power and freedom of Photoshop, not only to bring their vision to life, but in many cases to also make a living. It's these Photoshop moment stories that inspire me most. Recently one of my colleagues visited an orphanage in Vietnam where they teach the children how to use Photoshop. When the children age out of the orphanage, they can use the product and the skills they learned to earn a living, making almost 600% more per week than an unskilled worker, to help lift themselves out of a future life of poverty. It is a great privilege to work on a product that has such a positive impact on so many people's lives and livelihoods, which is why I am thrilled today to announce a new release of Photoshop……

How to Use the Zone System to Learn about Metering and Exposure Compensation | Daniel Smith
When you first move off auto, you realize how much control you have over your camera. You get to choose the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and be able to manually select the autofocus point, among many other things. In short you get control over everything! You also get full control over the exposure, or brightness, of the image. You decide you where to set the exposure for each image – something that the camera does not always get correct. The reason the camera doesn't get it right all the time is because the in-camera light meter doesn't always know how the brightness level of the subject. What tricks the light meter is bright or dark tones. So how do you take back control of the exposure, and compensate for the camera's errors? The process of correcting your exposure is referred to as Exposure Compensation. For more on that read: How to Use Exposure Compensation to Take Control of Your Exposure…….

Printer review – Epson SureColor P800 A2 17 inch | Keith Cooper
Using the SC-P800 A2 17 inch printer – the replacement for the SP3880. The Epson P800 was announced in April 2015 and brings Epson's new UltraChrome HD ink set to a 17″ A2 printer. The inks are designed to give denser colours and deeper blacks than the UltraChrome Vivid Magenta inks in the SP3880. Keith has been testing a pre-production P800 on a wide variety of papers, seeing how the printer performs, along with changes/similarities to the very popular SP3880. Epson UK contacted me a while ago, after I'd written a lengthy review of the SC-P600 and asked if I'd be prepared to test a new printer, the long awaited replacement for the SP3880, which I'd also reviewed a few years ago (and the SP3800 before that)………
Photoshop is Photography; and This is Why | Chris Gampat
There are many schools of mind and thought when it comes to defining what a photograph is. Some say that a photograph is exactly what comes out of the camera and nothing more. Others tend to argue that using Lightroom is alright. Still others continue to say that the world of presets, HDR and other methods are untrue to what photography is. Photography in its colloquial term basically means painting with light. It started with the obscura, moved onto things like tin types, then film, and now digital. For most of photography's years, the darkroom was the king. We base a lot of what we do in Lightroom and Photoshop off of Darkroom methods. But to this day, if you say that some concepts in Photography result in not an actual Photo being created, then there are years and years of darkroom photographers that would prove you otherwise…….
Why Envy Any Other Photographer? | Eric Kim
One of the most toxic feelings that a photographer (or human being) is to feel envy. Apparently envy is a trait that is deeply embedded in us, even as babies. But why is it that we feel envy, what are we envious about, and what can we do about it? First of all, realize that it is totally normal to feel envy (wishing you were in someone else's spot) and also jealousy (fearing that someone else is going to take your spot). After all, it is a great human adaptation that has helped us survive through the millennia. If humans didn't feel envy, then we would probably be exited from the gene pool (survival of the fittest). Envy is what probably kept us from dying (if everyone else is eating the huge bison your entire tribe hunted but you, if you didn't feel envy you would starve to death)…….

Night Photography – 12 Essential Techniques | Sebastian Boatca
I often discuss with my friends about the tips and tricks in all kind of photography fields. It is good to share your knowledge within a group of photographers. "Let the envy go away and act like a true member of a growing family of photographers", I say. Each one has its own vision and original concepts and it is very profitable to share some of the techniques you have, based on your own experiences, which most of them were acquired on a trial and error approach. We often make our own mistakes, even if we were taught about them in the first place. It is good to make mistakes in photography – this is the most powerful way to learn, for good, the correct ways. As a travel photographer, dealing with situations and places that might never occur again, you have to be prepared to record the relevant moments of your journey. You get driven to quiet places, crowded places, during sunny days or in the shade, even rain…….

How to find your vision in Photography | Mikko Lagerstedt
How to find your vision in photography, art, and life? One of the most common questions I get from people is: What should I do to find my vision as I'm just starting in photography? In this guide, I have gathered some tools you can start to use straight away. Without further ado, let's cut to the chase!
1. Practice your craft DAILY
When you are first starting and want to find your unique vision. Try any kind photography you can think. Keep your camera with you everywhere you go. If you already know what kind of photography you want to focus on, then you just keep on doing that and there is no point on not to photograph another type of photography. Start with what you got. No matter if it's a camera, mobile phone or a pen. The key to success is not to wait…….

What to photograph? The dilemma of (almost) every photographer | Faby and Carlo
Have you ever been haunted by the dilemma of what to photograph? have you ever asked yourself: what kind of photographer am I? What to photograph means knowing who you are and what you want to do. If you are one of the few that never asked herself/himself this question, it is good for you, but experience taught me that knowing what to photograph changes in time. In this article I will give you an insight in my personal struggle in understanding who I am through what to photograph. If you are one of the many who struggle pinpointing what to photograph, be reassured: there is nothing wrong with you. As we grow old, as we evolve, our vision of the world changes with us. What to photograph tells you a lot about you? ……

Everyone is a photographer nowadays: get over it!
The meme "everyone is a photographer" is on the mouth of many so-called professional photographers. Too many times I have heard that the market is not good as "everyone is a photographer". To all them I generally say: Get over it!. Nowadays everyone has an oven, but I don't hear cooks complaining that people don't eat at restaurants because everyone is a cook. The fact that everyone is a photographer is not true, the only true statement is that everyone has a camera, but the two things are not the same. Everyone is a photographer or everyone has a camera? Saying that everyone is a photographer implies that everyone has the technical and psychological know how to take amazing photographs. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but it takes time and energy and a lot of experience to know how to handle a camera. It takes even longer to be able to master the camera while directing a subject. It takes even more experience to feel confident enough to master the technicalities, directing a subject and capturing the right moment at the same time……..
A Guide to Mastering Manual Focus | Lukasz Palka
Have you ever cursed your camera for missing that special moment in the streets? Do you ever struggle to get the subject quickly in focus before the fleeting moment is lost forever in the aether? Well then why not try manual focus? My name is Lukasz Palka, and I'm a Tokyo photographer working for EYExploreTokyo. Below is a guide to a few key focus techniques that can help you capture the decisive moment and master the art of manual focusing. Before we can look at the benefits of manual focus, we first have to discuss the use of prime lenses. The reason prime lenses have become a staple of street photographers is simple: speed. Without the need to select a focal length, and forcing yourself to work with one field of view (FOV), you can drastically reduce the time necessary for framing the subject……..

Healthy hair starts with what you eat. These foods will stimulate blood circulation in your scalp and safely dilate blood vessels.
Although I haven't used direct heat at all since returning natural, I permanently color my curls. That with genetics have contributed to my high porosity hair.

Looking Back: Its Hammer Time As Football Regular Season Winds Down
Posted by John Millea (

With the 2015-16 MSHSL year at an end, let's take a look back at some of the stories from John's Journal. This story was posted on Oct. 5.
PROCTOR The football regular season comes to an end this week, which makes it a good time to reflect on a few things, many of which were on display here Friday night when the teams from Hermantown and Proctor met in the annual Hammer Game.
Its one of Minnesotas best rivalries, featuring kids who have competed against each other in various sports since they were little boys. The traveling trophy is The Hammer, a giant wooden hammer that carries the score of every game between Proctor and Hermantown since 1995.
The Rails and Hawks first met on the football field in 1941 and The Hammer has been the winners prize for 20 years. Jesse Bodell, a Hermantown junior in 1995, and his father Ron built the thing in their garage. It is modeled after the railroad hammer that was swung in American mythology by steel driver John Henry.
Traveling trophies are found all over Minnesota. One of my favorites is the Battle Axe game between Luverne and Pipestone (what a hoot: the sophomore teams play for the Hatchet and the ninth-grade teams play for the Butter Knife). Another great trophy game pits Blue Earth and Fairmont, who have played for the Little Brown Jug for 61 years.
Fridays game went the way of the Hawks, who used a 68-0 runaway to even the all-time series with Proctor at 32-32-1. The margin was the largest in the rivalrys history, but the takeaway from this years game went far beyond the scoreboard.
Hermantown has 614 students and plays Class 4A football, Proctor has 474 and is in Class 3A. The schools, which combine to form one girls hockey team, are only nine miles apart and the towns are conjoined twins on Duluths western border.
Some people grow up in one town and raise their own kids in the other. Everybody basically knows everybody.
Its just a mix of families, and its so close that it makes it a really enjoyable time, said Hermantown coach Daryl Illikainen, who has led 18 teams in this rivalry game.
Fridays crowd was bathed in pink, especially the student sections. It was a Pink Out, with money raised to battle cancer. Pink lines had been painted alongside the goal lines and 50-yard line. The Proctor band was on hand for musical enjoyment. Members of the American Legion carried the flag onto the field for the national anthem, with the stars and stripes billowing in a cold breeze. This was America on a Friday night, a scene repeated across the country.
The early returns werent favorable for Hermantown, which has a 7-0 record and No. 5 state ranking in 4A. On the games first series, the Hawks Thomas Madison ran for a 47-yard touchdown, but a holding penalty brought it back.
The Hawks didnt flinch and continued the drive, which ended with James Lindberg running four yards for a score. He added a 26-yard run in a 33-point second quarter and Madison also scored twice, as did Matt Valure. The big booms came when Nick Bostrom threw to Zack Brendon for a 49-yard touchdown and Christian Comstock returned an interception 67 yards for a TD.
Meanwhile, Hermantowns defense held the Rails (4-3) to single digits in total yards. The Hawks ran for more than 400 yards, with Madison getting 144.
We have great offensive linemen, said Madison (pictured with The Hammer). They come off the ball and theyre smart, they make adjustments on the fly and its a lot of fun to run behind them.
Hermantown is a regular at the boys state hockey tournament and the Hawks made their first trip to the boys state basketball tourney last winter. That kind of success blends into other sports and other seasons.
A lot of these kids went to state in basketball last year, theyre three-sport athletes, Illikainen said. Theyre just putting it together. Theyve come in with a mission, theyve been focused and Im just so proud.
Hermantown will finish the regular season Thursday at Moose Lake-Willow River and Proctor will go to Two Harbors the same night. Then section tournament pairings will be set and the second season will begin.
We came in with the mindset that we were going to work hard this year, Madison said. Coach always says well look at the scoreboard at the end of the game. So that was kind of our mindset coming in. The guys have worked hard and put in their time and were seeing the fruits of our labor.
I think we can be as good as we want to be. We have to limit our mistakes, we have to stay in check and weve got to take it one week at a time. We cant overlook anyone. I think were going to do good things.
Hard work. Pride. Togetherness. Optimism.
Good stuff.
Looking Back: A Love Of Wrestling, An Official With Heart
Posted by John Millea (

With the 2015-16 MSHSL year now at an end, let's take a look back at some of the stories from John's Journal. This story was posted on Dec. 21.
If youve ever thought about becoming an MSHSL official in any sport, I have one piece of advice for you: Watch Joe Steffenhagen officiate a wrestling match. He is an inspiration, working with young athletes and helping them learn about wrestling. Joe smiles a lot, too.
Thats probably the first thing youll notice about Joe. His smile. It lights up the mat. At some point youll notice something else about Joe. He moves with a slight limp and he doesnt have full use of his right arm and hand.
None of that matters. What matters is that Steffenhagen is giving back to a sport he loves.
Joe has never let cerebral palsy get in his way. He grew up as an active kid, joining his friends in whatever sport was in season.
I played basketball until eighth grade and then I got short, he said, laughing. I was a post player, as tall as I am now, 5-foot-5. I started wrestling in ninth grade.
He also played football and baseball at Orono High School. But wrestling was his main sport. He loved everything about it and lettered for four years before graduating in 2002.
Hes in his second year as a registered MSHSL wrestling official. He officiates on the middle school and sub-varsity level as he improves his skills. His reasoning for becoming an official is pretty simple: Jeez, I just like getting on the mat and being around it.
Ronnie Schneider, one of the states top wrestling officials, teaches physical education at Roseville Area High School; Joe works there as a special education teachers aide. Schneider, a 25-year official who has worked 10 state tournaments, is also the assignment secretary for the Skyline Wrestling Officials Association.
Schneider recognized Joes love for wrestling, as well as his deep knowledge of the sport, and encouraged him to become an official.
His knowledge of wrestling was amazing to me, Schneider said. He understood the technique, the calls, everything. Im like, Joe, why arent you reffing? Were always looking for guys to do middle school and other events. He said, I dont think I can.
He can move and hes got just a little limp. His right hand was the problem. Im like, Joe, lets figure it out. We need officials. The only guys we can pick from are guys who know wrestling. And he knows it.
Since Joe has trouble signaling points with his right hand, he does so with his left hand for both wrestlers. Officials wear red and green wristbands, with wrestlers wearing matching colors on an ankle. When one wrestler scores, the officials hand with the corresponding wristband is used to signal points.
Joes right hand is the green hand. To signal points for green, he covers his red wristband with his green wristband and puts up the corresponding number of fingers on his red hand. Its an easy system to understand.
Before we start Ill go up to whoever is doing the scoring and tell them how Im going to do things, Joe said. It works out. And for any ref, a good scorekeeper can help you.
During a recent match involving St. Paul middle school wrestlers at St. Paul Washington Technology Magnet School, Steffenhagen displayed a combination of patience, hustle and understanding. After making a call, he sometimes took a moment to explain it to the wrestlers. He helped kids with their headgear, took extra time in getting them in correct position before the whistle and raised the hand of every winner.
Joe is becoming more comfortable with every competition. Hes hoping to be able to work a varsity match before the end of the season. Schneider sometimes watches him officiate, and he is always ready with tips for improvement.
Ronnie is what got me going, Joe said. He does the scheduling and we work at the same high school. I thought, thats an easy in. Hes been a mentor-type person for me.
When he began officiating, Steffenhagen said he had concerns about being able to do it. Those issues are long gone now.
I was more worried about how I would do it. Now Im not worried about it all. I got that off my shoulders. Now I just want to learn how to be a better official.
I was just thinking today, Wow, Im having more fun this year. And thats what the hope is: To get better every year.
Joe is hoping to work in an off-the-mat job at the state tournament in February, all in the hopes of learning more and more.
We are hurting for officials, we can use more and it shouldnt matter who you are, Schneider said. If you have the desire and the ability, we need you to officiate.
Looking Back: Edina Soccer Team Pays Tribute To Sophia
Posted by John Millea (
) - Updated 6/24/2016 2:40:20 AM
With the 2015-16 MSHSL year coming to an end, let's take a look back at some of the stories from John's Journal. This story was posted on Oct. 15.
In a well-played postseason game Thursday at Kuhlman Field in Edina, the Edina High School girls soccer team defeated Prior Lake 3-0. With the victory in the Class 2A Section 2 quarterfinals, the Hornets advanced to Tuesdays section semifinals at Eden Prairie; for Prior Lake the season has ended.
The most memorable moment, however, came before the game started. A handful of little girls, under-8 soccer players from Edina, held large pink balloons and stood next to the Hornets after the players were introduced. All the balloons were released at the same time, and a brisk wind from the north sent them sailing over the south end zone and beyond.
As the balloons rose higher and higher, they sailed above nearby Concord Elementary School. Thats where many of the Edina varsity players went to elementary school, as did Sophia Baechler.
Sophia, a second-grader, died Sunday of carbon-monoxide poisoning while on a boat on Lake Minnetonka. The medical examiner ruled the death an accident and its unclear what caused the poisoning.
The little girls who released the balloons Thursday were Sophias soccer teammates. They giggled with delight what a joyous sound -- as they watched the balloons sail away. Sophias funeral was held Friday morning at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina.
Sophia, who would have turned 8 in December, is survived by her parents, Benjamin and Courtney Baechler, and 5-year-old brother Will.
Edina coach Katie Aafedt didnt know Sophia, but two of her three children attend Concord.
We found out the news on Monday when we got an email from the principal, Aafedt said. It was a tough pill to swallow. It hit very close to home because she is part of the Edina soccer community, shes my kids age, her parents are my age, she was a soccer player who we had seen at games.
Sophia and her family had attended several varsity girls soccer games. After her death, the Edina girls soccer Twitter account sent this message: The entire EHS soccer program was devastated to learn of the passing of a U8 Edina player. We dedicate our playoff run to her. #playforsophia
Sophia wore jersey number 8, and a jersey bearing her number was on the bench Thursday. It will remain with the Hornets through the rest of the season.
She supported us at our games, she was part of the Edina soccer community, said Hornets junior Eva Anderson. It was really a huge loss for us and it was really hard to hear. She went to Concord, where a lot of us have gone, and she lived really close to me.
Junior Meredith Stotts said, I didnt know her personally but the story was really heartbreaking. One of our neighbors is on her soccer team.
About the pregame ceremony, Meredith said, I think it focused us all a lot more and it made us want to go out and win so much more. To know that she was supporting us, to see her parents up there, it makes you much more grateful for a lot of things.
Eva said, Were playing for something bigger than ourselves and were playing for a really deep, really important thing. It teaches us to be grateful for every moment we have and we cant waste any second we have because we are so lucky to have these opportunities.
The Miracle Of Henry Sibley: From 4-14 To State Champs
Posted by John Millea (
) - Updated 6/20/2016 7:49:33 PM
As the postgame awards ceremony began Monday at Target Field, ballplayers from Henry Sibley High School arrived at an important realization. The Mahtomedi team they had just defeated 8-4 for the Class 3A state championship was receiving its second-place medals while the Warriors stood single-file on the edge of the grass.
One of them said these words: Were 15 and 15. And down the row it went. Were 15 and 15. Guys, were 15 and 15.
They also, astonishingly, are state champions.
Has there ever been anything like it? What compares to this improbable storybook ending? After all, for the Warriors this was a season that could have been given up for dead, wrapped in a burlap sack and dumped in a ditch weeks ago. Who would have noticed?
One of the lessons here is that the regular season and the postseason can have absolutely nothing in common. Henry Sibley the school is named for Minnesotas first governor (as if you didnt already know that) opened the season with five consecutive losses. An eight-game losing streak came soon after. They lost to Mahtomedi twice, including a 10-run-rule affair. They entered the postseason with a 6-14 record and had to win their last two regular-season games to get there.
But then how do we explain the playoff run? The wins in the Section 3 tournament and the three victories at state?
We were hot today, said designated hitter Sam Essen, who scored two runs. It was our day, it was our turn to win.
Henry Sibley coach Greg Fehrman had no explanation at all.
I cant. I really cant. I wish I could but I cant. Its one of those things that turned out the way it did.
He and his coaching staff never gave up on the team, and the players never gave up on each other. Thats surely an important factor here.
We never really ever ditched the thought that we would not be able to be competitive, Fehrman said. There were times that we would lose games and we as coaches would be at a loss for words to explain what it is that we were trying to do, what we needed to do. And we would share that with the kids and say, Hey, we dont have anything to say other than we have to hang in there and keep plugging away at it.
Fehrman said the beautiful part of the story is this: The boys never gave up, never grabbed a burlap sack.
They seemed to go ahead and just persevere and hang with it and continue to want to come to the park. he said. Theyre great kids to be around, just awesome kids to be around. And then all of a sudden we started catching on a little bit, and before you knew it everything started rolling. We just got out of their way and let them play.
Everybody dreams about winning a state championship but hardly anybody ever dreams about winning a state championship with a 15-15 record.
As the baseball season came to a memorable end, nobody wore a bigger smile than Jesse Retzlaff. The senior pitcher and his Minnehaha Academy teammates will spend the rest of their days reflecting on disappointment, second chances and how great success can feel.
Right now Im so elated, Retzlaff said after the Redhawks rallied to win the state championship. It was such a fun run. It was such a great time.
The disappointment came 360 days earlier. Minnehaha Academy lost to St. Cloud Cathedral 10-1 in that 2015 state championship game, and the losing pitcher was a junior named Jesse Retzlaff. He pitched 5 1/3 innings that day, giving up six runs while walking four, striking out three and throwing a wild pitch.
Cathedral was no slouch in 2015, winning its second consecutive state title and extending a winless streak to 50 games. The Redhawks finished 26-2 last season, with both losses coming to Cathedral. But 2016 was different. Minnehaha went to St. Cloud and beat the Crusaders in their 11th game of the season, finished the Section 4 tournament with a 24-3 record, and headed to state a team on a mission.
Minnehaha beat East Grand Forks 11-2 in the state quarterfinals (with Retzlaff going the distance) and held off Pierz 4-2 in the semifinals to reach Mondays game. And this time at Target Field Retzlaff was masterful. He tossed a two-hitter with 12 strikeouts and two walks.
Jesse has wanted this game since last year, and you could see that, said Redhawks coach Scott Glenn. He was calm, he was a true leader today. He was the guy we needed, and he was fantastic.
Belle Plaine (25-2), which was the tournaments top seed with Minnehaha No. 2, took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Brody Curtiss tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Wes Sarsland. But the Redhawks put up a five spot in the top of the fifth, with Andrew Wolpert and Alexander Jordan driving in runs. That was all Retzlaff needed.
We knew we could come back from one run down, he said. Weve scored a lot of runs in a lot of games.
Last year we were kind of heartbroken so our motto coming into this year was unfinished business. We just wanted to come back out and win this game. And we did, so were feeling really good right now. This is pure joy. You dream of playing here. It was just so much fun.
The Tigers scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning to secure the title one year after finishing as the state runnerup. Joe Pieschel opened the 11th with a single and stole second. A single by Carter Cook scored Pieschel before a double by Isaac Fink made it 4-2.
The Trojans won their first state baseball championship behind an 11-hit attack, scoring in every inning from the third to the seventh. Griffin Schneider, Will Oberg and Danny Deis had three hits each while Wayzata pitcher Tommy Skoro went the distance, giving up five hits, striking out eight and walking none.

After 41 Years, Pine Islands Anderson Goes Out On Top
Posted by John Millea (
) - Updated 6/17/2016 3:18:50 PM
ST. CLOUD There was emotion in Craig Andersons voice for a second or two shortly before he walked off the baseball diamond for the final time Friday. But the Pine Island coach, who is retiring after 41 years with the Panthers, was quickly greeted by his grandchildren. And after that it was all bear hugs and great big smiles.
Anderson, 63, had announced during the season that 2016 would be his last go-round. The Panthers took him out in style, reaching the Class 2A state tournament. Unseeded Pine Island lost to top seed Belle Plaine 1-0 in Thursdays quarterfinals, and the season ended Friday with a 12-5 loss to Proctor in the consolation bracket.
As he spoke to his final team after his final game, Anderson told the boys how proud he was to be their coach.
I couldnt think of a better group of guys to finish my career with, he said.
Pine Islands previous trips to state came in 1991, 1992 and 1993. So there was some poetic justice that the Panthers (18-9) got back to the show in 2016.
Im reflecting on a lot of fun, Anderson told me. This community has been good to me for 41 years. Im just appreciative, because Ive had a lot of fun. Its emotional. Its a special time in my life. Im just reflecting on all the happy times. And there have been a ton of them. Great community support, administrative support, and obviously these are some great kids.
Craig and his wife Sue sweethearts since a homecoming dance when they were sophomores at Mabel-Canton are closing in on 42 years of marriage. Sue retired as a social worker in December. The Andersons have two daughters: Sarah lives in Denver with her husband and two kids, and Rachel lives in Pine Island with her husband and two kids. They were all at the games Thursday and Friday.
I could hear the grandkids yelling for grandpa there at the end, that was pretty cool, Anderson said. Theyre going to love me no matter what the score is, and thats the best part of having a family.
Anderson is revered by his peers. In 2015 the Minnesota High School Baseball Coaches Association awarded the inaugural Craig Anderson Ethics in Coaching Award to St. Charles coach Scott McCready. The award is given to a coach who, like Craig, has displayed ethics in coaching and teaching the game of baseball. The coach who is selected will be someone who displays class, integrity, character, and respect for the game, the players, the spectators, and the officials.
Andersons career record is 526-381, placing him fifth in all-time victories among Minnesota high school baseball coaches. But winning has never been uppermost in his coaching philosophy.
Last season I went to a game in Pine Island a few days after Anderson recorded his 500th victory. After the Panthers lost a 2-1 decision to Cannon Falls, Anderson told me, We want to win but we have a bigger message. And thats, Hey, come play hard, represent your community and your family with dignity. And if you do those things, then its a win no matter how the result comes out.
Cannon Falls coach Bucky Lindow said that day, The first game I ever coached as a high school coach, he was the other guy and beat us 10-0. But more important is the way he treats people. Hes the guy whos going to congratulate you if you do something. Hes just classy. Thats truly what he is. And through the state coaches association, hes been on the leadership team for a long, long time and he just makes a positive impact. Hes a great ambassador for high school baseball. I really appreciate all that Ive learned from him.
Anderson, who in 2014 was inducted into the National High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, spent 36 years as a sixth-grade science teacher. He has been the Pine Island athletic director for four years and will continue in that role. But he now will have more time to spend with his grandkids and travel with Sue.
The Pine Island fans wore state tournament T-shirts in the school colors of maroon and gold. The players and coaches names were printed on the back, under this statement: Its a great day for baseball! -- Coach Craig Anderson.
Anderson wore jersey No. 23 when he played baseball at Winona State and continued to wear 23 from day one in Pine Island. He likes to point out that he wore 23 before it became Michael Jordans signature.
Im just proud to wear this maroon and gold for the last time, he said. Ill probably wash it, turn it in, and somebody else will have it next year.
Thats doubtful. Its a pretty safe bet that No. 23 will be retired in Pine Island.
