Irish avoid drama, beat Park Center
Even though the Rosemount High School boys’ tennis team had won three singles matches in straight sets to take a 3-0 lead against Park Center Tuesday, April 21, Irish head coach Mike Remington was concerned.
“We lost to St. Louis Park 4-3, and to Richfield 4-3, said coach Remington. “This one could have been very close. I didn’t know if we were going to get a point in those (remaining) matches.”
Not to worry, Rosemount split the remaining matches to capture a 5-2 victory over the Pirates in a Lake Red Conference contest at Rosemount.
The win came in Rosemount’s first conference match, and raised its overall record to 2-3.
Part of Remington’s concern late in the Park Center match was because going into the match, the Irish had won just one of seven individual matches that went into a third set.. .
This time, the Irish won two of the three third-set battles, a key factor in the victory.
Rosemount’s victory at second doubles was a big one, Remington said. Scott Rensch and Brian Havnen lost the first set 2-6, but came back to win the last two 7-6 (7-5 in the tie-breaker), 6-2....
The other Rosemount win came from the third doubles team of Javier Perez and Steve Kennedy, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2. Jeff Downs lost 6-7 (5-7), 4-6 fourth singles; and the first doubles team of Scott Lundquist and Bryan Engelman fell 3-6, 5-7....
No-smoking policy may clear the air
After smoking for 35 years, Sue Neubert, secretary to the principal at Greenleaf Elementary in Apple Valley, said a proposed District 196 policy restricting smoking is just the incentive she needed to quit....
The proposed no smoking policy, the district’s $50 payment toward enrolling in a quit-smoking program, and support from co-workers all made kicking the habit easier, Neubert said.
The District 196 Board of Education will look at a proposed tobacco-free environment policy for a first reading at its meeting Monday, April 27. The policy comes after district administrators have discussed the idea of becoming smoke-free for almost a year and surveyed staff to find that the majority favor a tobacco-free environment....
When asked their opinion of a smoking policy at work, 248 non-smokers said there should be a total ban on smoking and 190 non-smokers said there should be designated smoking and non-smoking areas. Only a few said there should be no restrictions. When smokers were asked same question, 43 said there should be designated smoking areas, 14 said there should be a total ban on smoking and 7 said there should be no restrictions.
The majority of non-smokers say they are bothered by someone else smoking at work frequently or occasionally because of the odor absorbed by clothes and hair, eye irritation, coughing, headaches, interference with work performance and because of their concern for long-term health effects.

Multi-million modification for Pine Bend refinery
Plans for large-scale modifications to its Pine Bend Refinery, with work scheduled to start in July, were announced today by W.J. Carthaus, president of Great Northern Oil Company.
The modification work, costing several million dollars and requiring about a year to complete, will have two principal objectives, Mr. Carthaus said. First, it will provide increased efficiency in refining processes and permit a step-up in refining capacity; and secondly, the program will enable Great Northern Oil Company to produce highest-grade jet and turbine fuels at the refinery.
The company executive said that Fluor Corporation of Los Angeles has been selected as general contractor for the modification program. Fluor built the original refinery in 1955 and is recognized internationally as a specialist in refinery construction....
Bulk of the modification work will be carried on within the refinery’s “heart” – the main processing area – which occupies about three city blocks. Among the projects will be the erection of a second crude oil entering the plant is heated and fractioned as a first processing step); a new and larger hydrodesulfurization unit (to remove sulfur from No. 1 fuel oil); and additions to the refinery’s sulfur plant and coker.
Enlarged capacity will also be provided for the Ultraformer (a catalytic process producing high-octane gasoline) and the naphtha desulfurizing unit.

Friends mourn loss
The entire community was thrown into a state of sadness and gloom Tuesday morning April 16th, when through the surrounding country flashed the news of the sudden death of Archie Cadzow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cadzow.
Little did his many friends and relatives think when they tendered him a loving farewell just one week previous that when next they should see him he would be sleeping that peaceful sleep from which none awaken.
He accepted a position as time keeper for the Great Northern Railroad Company, at Great Falls, Montana, and had worked but three days when he met his untimely fate.
He had charge of two crews and was walking from one of them to the other when an approaching train came suddenly upon him from around a curve and killed him before he realized what happened.
He will be mournfully missed by all who knew him, whether in club circles or without for he possessed a kind and generous cheerful disposition, sunny and unselfish nature that attracted friends and made him to know him for a short time made one desirious of calling him friend and being cherished as such by him.
