By Tawny MichelsWANAMINGO The country

band Lost Highway got its start inWanamingo, playing its first showtogether on July 4, 2009. On May17, 2015, it was announced thatthe band signed a deal with SpinDoctors Music Group in Nash-ville, Tennessee.

Spin Doctors Music Group isan entity of SMG Records Nash-ville. The A&R (artists and reper-toire) team at Spin Doctors MusicGroup is assigned to find new tal-ent. They heard Lost Highway,liked us, and reached out to me,and then put me in direct contactwith Al Brock, front man JesseCharles (Jesse Steberg ofWanamingo) said. Brock is thepresident and CEO of Spin Doc-tors and has been in the musicbusiness for over twenty years.

It is a radio promotion deal,Charles said. So, basically weare just trying to get our songTubin out nationwide. The songwill go out first on smaller radiostations with the hope that it willmove into the major stations from

there. The guys are all happy andexcited, he said.

Band members consist ofCharles, on lead vocals; MatthewSchwake, rhythm guitar and vo-cals, of Kenyon; Brett LaCasse,lead guitar; Tim Paulson, bass andvocals; Aaron Seevers, drums; andNick Champeau, acoustic guitar,keys, banjo.

While this news is a big deal forany band, fans can rest assuredthat it wont change any currentshow plans or any pricing of shows,merchandise, or CDs. Charles didsay that if their fan base growsthat they will need to make somecontractual changes, but as of rightnow this deal changes nothing forthe fans.

He explained that the bandsrealistic goal includes building itsaudience and fan base throughoutthe midwest by themselves. How-ever, like any aspiring artists theywould love if they got a majorrecord deal or went on tour with aknown country artist. Right nowthey are just happy playing and

continuing to play for their loyalfans who have followed them foryears.

As for Charless home life, hesaid that his parents and wife, Kelly,are very supportive of the bandand its success. My two boys aregetting older and more indepen-dent, which makes it easier on mywife when I am away, he said.He is still very active in his kidslives and even coaches baseballfor them.

We are only gone about two orthree times a week during the busyseason, he said. Its nothing likethe artists on major tours who areaway from their families for threeor four weeks at a time.

Lost Highway will be playingthe street dance and beer tent onFriday, June 6, at the 79th PineIsland Cheese Festival. The nightstarts at 8 p.m. with opening bandWasted Weekend, followed byLost Highway headlining from 9p.m. to 1 a.m. This is a 21+ showand is being hosted by Pine IslandSports Bar. Gates open at 7 p.m.

Dig diversity

In the plant kingdom, diversityworks to sustain all climates ofthe planet with food, clothing,shelter, water, and breathable air.It isnt always peaceful, quiet, orobvious, but it works for the pres-ervation of life. Thats becauseplants dont have freedoms, vaca-tions or rights. They exist to work:grow, reproduce, bear fruit, pro-vide oxygen, and decompose tokeep the planet viable24/7/365.

There are some plants with al-most human traits. Aggressivebullies are the invasive weeds weconstantly control to keep fromchoking out or taking over entirely.Parasitic plants are freeloaders whoattach themselves to hosts plants

and suck the strength out of them.High maintenance or slow grow-ing plants cant stand up to adver-sity and often get overrun by thosethat hoard space, nutrients, andsun. Robust, sturdy plants withrigid stems protect and supportweaker ones until they get accli-mated. But the most helpful plantsare those that replenish the soilwith vital nutrients, viable seedsand edible fruits that enable ev-erything around them to flourish.

Nature, when functioning asintended, is like a friendly coffeegroup sharing and supportive,yet tolerant of individualism. Whenwe use what is produced, sharewhat we dont need, and save seedfor future planting, we seebiodiversity as it is intended towork. But when we over-plant onevariety, or non-hardy hybrids thatarent disease resistant, we inviteinsect infestations and loss of pro-ductivity that can upset the plantkingdoms natural balance.

Awareness of little details helpsone notice when something big isgoing wrong. If we arent obser-vant, we risk being unable to cor-rect solvable problems. A gypsymoth unnoticed is another poten-tial plague like elm disease, or oakwilt. Keeping open minds as wellas open eyes makes us aware ofwhats happening aroundusgood, bad, or uglywhileenabling our plants to do what theyhave to do.

Each plant species has its ownspecial traits that make it desir-able. Rather than plant the samething every year, try somethingdaringly different. Read the tagsto know what you grow, and howto do it. Maybe try cross-pollinat-ing, or grafting if youre adven-turesome. Exploring the diversityof plants will give you addedknowledge and growingexperienceand maybe providean exciting new topic of conver-sation when meeting friends forcoffee.

AsThe Worm

TurnsBy Jeanne Truestedt

The act and policy of provocation

Imagine two boys (could be twogirls) who dont like each other.Some day they may be best budsbut not today. Both know thatwhoever throws the first blow willget the most punishment. Onedraws a line in the sand and daresthe other to cross it, and double-dares, etc. Finally, one of themcrosses the line swinging. The fighthas begun and it ends usually withan adult interfering. Change theboys to adults, groups, gangs, states,or nations and the result is war.Some nations try to maintain apolicy of not throwing the firstblow, by fists, guns, bombs, etc.

Last week I covered the inci-dent at Lexington and Concord.Both sides knew each other andwere politically motivated to starta war. I dare you to destroy mybarn! The idea was to destroythe barn full of munitions tosatisfy the British government andfor us to complain about the de-

struction of the barn. When thecommanding officer returned withhis half of the troops to the halfleft at the bridge, he asked for areport. The sergeant reported thata local group with weapons hadmarched down the hill from theSquires house and they chatted.When they saw him returning theyretreated up the hill. (up to thispoint, the problem was resolvablewithout a fight). The British of-ficer realized that the destroyedmunitions were old and useless.He ordered the bridge taken apart.The locals saw that and ran downthe hill to confront the troops. Bothleaders tried to get their men tospread out along the creek but thetroops and the band of locals clus-tered at the bridge. The bridge wasabout ten feet wide and about fortyfeet long. The creek was aboutfive to ten feet deep and dry.

A few more facts and rules:When two groups with weaponsfaced each other, one side wouldgive a great shout, the other sideshouted back, followed by the firstside firing a volley over the sec-ond, and the second firing a vol-ley over the first. If neither sideretreated, then and only then didthe two groups shoot at each other.

The locals didnt understand therules. The British troops gave agreat shout and the locals firedinto the British troops. Five menwere killed (probably hit multipletimes). The British troops retreatedtoward Boston. As they marchedaway, the locals crossed the bridgeand began to shoot at the retreat-ing troops. A tree-covered ridgewas next to the road to Boston.The locals climbed to the top ofthe ridge and, using the trees asshields, fired down on the troops.The British commanding officerset up a rotating defense by send-ing a group of men next to theridge up the slope. As a rank movedup, the rest slid over and then theymoved up. The result was that theBritish lost about 125 men, andthe locals lost about 50. Thus be-gan the American RevolutionaryWar.

Here is your test: What do thesenames and places mean to you?The Maine (February 15, 1898),the Lusitania (May 7, 1915), PearlHarbor (December 7, 1941),Chesapeake-Leopard Affair (June22, 1807), Gulf of Tonkin inci-dent (August 2, 1964), and theStark missile ship (May 17, 1987).Until next week.

The group met at the Minne-apolis-St. Paul International air-port at 4:30 a.m. for a flight toWashington D.C. After arrivingat Reagan National Airport at 11:40a.m., the group boarded their coachbus and stopped for lunch. Thefirst gallery on the agenda was theNewseum. Opened in 2008, theinteractive and engaging Newseumcelebrates the freedoms of the FirstAmendment, and features a pieceof the Berlin Wall, wreckage fromthe World Trade Center attack withnews coverage of 9/11, and stir-ring images in the Pulitzer Prize

winning photos gallery. A floorof the museum features the dailyfront pages of each of the largestnewspapers in every state (forMinnesota, the Star Tribune.

A bus tour of D.C. featured thevarious federal buildings and lay-out of the city. The group thenvisited the Jefferson, Franklin D.Roosevelt and Martin Luther KingJr. Memorials before dinner. Tem-peratures hit about 90 degrees thatday, and although tired and hot,the teens were on the move untilchecking into the hotel about 8p.m.May 20

The group left the hotel at 7:30a.m. and headed to Fords The-atre for an excellent narration onthe assassination of PresidentAbraham Lincoln. Students viewedthe Declaration of Independenceat the National Archives andRecords building before stoppingfor lunch at Union Station andhaving a group photo taken nearthe U.S. Capitol. Between theCapitol and the Washington Monu-ment lies the National Mall, andits two streets are home to severalmajor attractions, including theU.S. Botanical Garden, the Na-tional Museum of the AmericanIndian, the National Air & SpaceMuseum, the Hishhorn Museum,the Smithsonian Castle, the Na-tional Museum of American His-tory, the National Museum ofNatural History, the NationalSculpture Garden and the NationalGallery of Art.

Students broke into groups withan adult chaperone and were ableto visit the museums of their choicefor 2.5 hours. The World War IIMemorial was a favorite site formany of the students with its wa-ter features and pillars dedicatedto each state.

Supper in Old Town Alexan-dria Virginia was followed by anevening ghost tour with a story-teller in early American costume

dress. After logging about 21,000steps for the day, they returned tothe hotel about 10:30 p.m.May 21

Rain fell most of the morningand afternoon but luckily much ofthe day was spent indoors. TheStephen F. Udvar-Hazy Air &Space Museum is home to the spaceshuttle Discovery, a Concordesupersonic airliner, and a LockheedSR-71 Blackbird reconnaissanceaircraft, in addition to a multitudeof other aircraft. The air museumalso has a restoration area namedafter Mary Baker Engen, a nativeof Minnesota. Raincoats and um-brella were needed at the NationalZoo to see, among other animals,the famous giant pandas.

A tour of the National Cathe-dral was a favorite stop of adultsand students alike. A coach ridedown Massachusetts Avenue pro-vided a view and information onmany of the foreign embassies,including the closed Iranian Em-bassy, left vacant since 1980 fol-lowing the 1979 hostage crisiswhen 52 American diplomats wereheld hostage for over a year.

The group returned to the mu-seums along the Washington Mallto tour museums of their choice.During a stop in front of the WhiteHouse for a group photo, manystudents were fascinated by Se-cret Service, security guards, andsnipers at the home of the presi-dent, as well as the tented site of amulti-year protester who has beencamped out across the street fromthe White House. On a visit to theNational Law Enforcement Me-morial students found the nameof Minnesota native TheodoreTed Foss, a State Trooper killedby a motorist while conducting atraffic stop in 2000.

After dinner the group touredthe Lincoln Memorial, the KoreanWar Veterans Memorial, and theVietnam Veterans Memorial. Partof their homework was to find thenames of Ben Danielson and Gor-

don Gunhus of Kenyon, and TomEastman of Faribault on the longblack wall of the memorial. Stu-dents arrived back at the hotel af-ter 9 p.m.May 22

The group left at 8:30 a.m. tobegin their day with a trip to Ar-lington National Cemetery. Stu-dents viewed the Eternal Flameof assassinated president John F.Kennedy and the Kennedygravesites. A walk through thevalley of the white headstones wasa somber reminder of the sacri-fice paid for freedom, as the daybefore military personnel hadplaced American flags on the400,000 graves in preparation forMemorial Day. KW students stoodrespectfully in silence as they wit-nessed the Tomb of the UnknownSoldier, its meticulous protectionand the ceremonial changing ofthe guard. The students also lo-cated the site of the Space ShuttleChallenger and Columbia memo-rials, and the USS Marine MastMemorial in the cemetery. TheUnited States Marine Memorial,depicting five soldiers hoisting anAmerican flag in the ground dur-ing the battle for Iwo Jima, wasvisited prior to lunch at the Penta-gon city mall.

The group returned to the Wash-ington Mall to visit museums oftheir choice before boarding thebus to Mount Vernon, the homeof Americas first president. Stu-dents toured the expansive groundsof Washingtons home, includingthe gardens, nursery, farm andbarnyard, historic buildings andold family tomb.
