Saint John’s Bible on display at permanent gallery by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
After traveling the world, The Saint John’s Bible is home to rest and is now on display in a permanent gallery at the St. John’s University Alcuin Library. “The Saint John’s Bible is a communal book, so my intent was to design and create a gallery which invites people in and creates a communal space to share the volumes,” said Tim Ternes, director of the Saint John’s Bible and Hill Museum and Manuscript Library programming. “The size of the folios, the way they float in the cases and surround you when you enter, all serve to invite the viewer to come together with others to make meaning.” He said the gallery is designed to display 28 original folios from the unbound man-
uscript. The current exhibition features folios from every volume of the Bible. The folios were chosen to showcase calligraphy from every scribe and every artist who worked on the project. Rare books and manuscripts from the SJU HMML collections are displayed with the Bible to give a historical context to the works. Tools, materials and sketches, which were used to create the volumes, are also on display. “The gallery can accommodate up to 50 people at a time and is designed to give guests a sacred experience,” Ternes said. “Guests enter the gallery through beautiful ebonized oak doors handcrafted at St. John’s Abbey Woodshop that feature a honeycomb design mirroring the great window in the St. John’s Abbey and University Church.

Fire destroys storage shed north of St. Joseph by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a maintenance-equipment shed on the property of Gilbert Stock of rural Sartell Oct. 13. The fire broke out at about
12:30 p.m. on that day, and soon a roiling black plume of smoke rose into the sky and could be seen for miles. The fire departments of St. Joseph, Sartell, St. Stephen and Waite Park responded to the blaze, which destroyed several pieces of farm-and-yard machines inside the shed. No one was injured.
The shed was located not far from CR 133 near the Five Points intersection west of Sartell on the Stock family farm. St. Stephen firefighter Jim Schumer said at one point, during the fire, the gas tank of one of the pieces of equipment exploded inside the shed, increasing the fire and the damage.
The firefighters were at the scene for three hours. Gilbert Stock, who farmed on that property for many decades, lives in a house not far from the large shed that burned. His house was not damaged because firefighters restricted the blaze to the shed.

A new solar-power project, with its 28,000 solar panels, is located on the north and south side of interstate 94 by St. Joseph, and is now producing electricity. The panels are spread across 60 acres and will produce enough energy to power about 1,200 average Minnesota homes.
St. Joseph just became a little more green – energy-wise. A new solar-power project, with its 28,000 solar panels, is located on the north and south side of Interstate 94, north of St. Joseph. It is now producing electricity. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour took place Oct. 12. The solar panels are spread across 60 acres and will produce enough energy to power about 1,200 average Minnesota homes. Corey Orehek, IPS Solar marketing director, said IPS developed the St. Cloud Area Solar Garden and hired Egan Co. to construct the project. It was codeveloped by Maryland-based New Energy Equity and will be owned long-term by east-coast

utility Washington Gas Energy Systems. Primary subscribers to the local solar garden include the St. Cloud, Annandale and Paynesville school districts, as well as manufacturer Louis Industries. Louis Industries had previously installed 500 kilowatts of panels on its roof in 2015 and decided to expand with community solar. “Over the course of 25 years, subscribers to this solar garden should see total savings in excess of $8 million,” said Eric Pasi, IPS vice president of business development. “We’re making a real difference both economically and environmentally.” He said solar energy has benefits that extend beyond clean, cost-efficient energy.

Bible from front page ble remains unbound at this time, the folios are displayed on special mounts designed to make the unbound folios look like opened books. Light levels will be low to maintain conservation standards and allow the folios to be the focal points of the space.” The Bible includes seven volumes of more than 1,100 pages, two-feet tall by threefeet wide, of handwritten, illuminated pages by calligrapher Donald Jackson of England and others. It has more than 160 illuminations. Jackson, the artistic director of the project, led a team of calligraphers and artists in writing and illuminating the Bible at his scriptorium in Monmouth, Wales. The team included skilled scribes and guest artists. Jackson specifically designed the calligraphic script for the Bible. The letters are written in lamp-black ink from 19th-century Chinese stick inks made from carbon. Throughout the production of the Bible, Jackson visited St. John’s University on a regular basis to consult with the Committee on Illumination and Text, spent time researching on the campus and more. The Committee on Illumination and Text made decisions about which passages of the Bible were to be illuminated and worked with Jackson on
the imagery used to depict scripture passages. The goal of creating the Bible was to spark spiritual imagination of people throughout the world through a work of art that illuminates the Word of God in a way that is relevant today. The Bible was written on calfskin vellum using goose, swan and turkey quills. A team of scribes used natural handmade inks, hand-ground pigments and gold- and silver-leaf gild similar to those used in medieval times. The small-script letters are about two millimeters tall. The height of the script is directly proportionate to the size of the quill. Each page has two columns of script, with 54 lines per column, for an average of 10.5 words per line. Computers were used to size the text and define line breaks. Artists used pages that were laid out in full-size spreads with sketches in position to guide their work. Each book of the Bible has an illuminated book heading, and each chapter begins with a large decorative capital letter. Each decorative capital is different. The Bible speaks of the 1,500-year-old tradition of St. Benedict and his Rule, which includes especially following the values of hospitality, transformation and justice for God’s people. Each of the seven volumes of The Saint John’s Bible has its own illuminations or spe-
Friday, Oct. 20, 2017 cial treatments and characteristics. The seven volumes contain the 73 books of the Old and New Testaments. Gospels and Acts was the first volume of the Bible written, and it was completed in May 2002. Pentateuch was completed in August 2003, Psalms in April 2004, Prophets in April 2005, Wisdom Books in July 2006, Historical Books in March 2010 and Letters and Revelation in May 2011. The Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible exhibit premiered in 2005 at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and then traveled throughout the United States and internationally. The Saint John’s Bible was officially commissioned in 1998 and was introduced to the public in 1999 at the onset of the new millennium. A few years ago, a copy of the Bible was presented in person to an appreciative Pope Francis during a special ceremony at The Vatican in Rome. The New Revised Standard Version translation of the Bible was chosen for The Saint John’s Bible for several reasons, including that it is a translation widely used and accepted, it is a modern English translation with a strong literal tradition and it uses gender-inclusive language, usually in a non-obtrusive manner, for references to men and women. St. John’s University is the patron of the Bible project and played an important role in assembling the team of advisors,

Solar from front page “IPS Solar has been doing a lot of work with school districts and helping educators incorporate STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning into their curriculum,” he said. “These systems create data based on power performance, solar irradiance and the weather. Students can chart that data, conduct experiments and learn about the technology.” The company hosted its second educator workshop in September in Red Wing, where the school district there is leasing 40 acres for a large solar garden. “We’re excited to help educators with solar-energy coursework,” Pasi said. Construction on the solar garden, located at 11400 CR 51, St. Joseph began in June. The land is leased from IMS Prop-
erties LLC and Walz Properties LLC. Joe Walz, president of IMS Properties and part owner of Walz Properties, said the land had been passed down through Walz families for generations but was divided when Interstate 94 was built. “Walz Properties LLC and IMS Properties LLC feel this is a great opportunity to provide green energy for the community,” he said. “This is a great marketing tool to help promote the City of St. Joseph development and the colleges in the area.” IMS Properties LLC also sold land on which a new Milk and Honey Ciders facility was built at 11738 CR 51 by St. Joseph. The solar garden is one of many projects being brought online by the IPS Solar project team during the next 12 months throughout the state. For additional information, visit the ips-solar.com website.

Students learn truth-seeking during visit to local museum It was refreshing to read an excellent feature story written by Newsleader freelance writer Cori Hilsgen the other day – a story about how sixthgrade students were learning the importance of primary sources. Hats off to teacher Susan Huls of All Saints Academy, St. Joseph, for encouraging her students to learn critical-thinking skills. Huls said she wanted to show the students how primary sources can help them tell interesting, factual stories about Stearns County’s past. And so she took them to the Stearns History Museum in St. Cloud where they had an exciting time poring through many old sources, such as old newspapers, documents and artifacts. One student’s project was a paper about the worldwide 1918 flu epidemic that killed millions of people, including many right here in Stearns County. The student located an entire folder filled with news clippings from that time about how families reacted when the flu struck. Other students found primary sources about topics that intrigued them: the Pan car, Sauk Centre novelist Sinclair Lewis, the history of the St. Cloud Hospital, Minnesotans who had fought in wars. The museum’s expert staff gave tips to the students as to how to use the museum as a research center. They brought forth artifacts at which the children marveled, bringing them into up-close contact with the past, teaching them how primary sources can enliven the accuracy in telling a story and learning the differences between opinions and news. One of the staff is Julianne O’Connell, program curator who lives in St. Joseph. This is what O’Connell told reporter Hilsgen: “In the age of instant information, students need to know the difference between a primary source and a secondary source to sift out misinformation. Finding out the primary source and wanting to find that source of information is a solid skill that leads students to hone their critical-thinking skills.” Thank you, Julianne O’Connell, for expressing that truth so well. You could well have said, “In an age of instant misinformation . . . “ She went on to say students should always ask the following questions: How do you know that? Where does your information come from? What proof do you have? Those are truly vital questions for this day and age – a time when Russian saboteurs try to undermine an election by planting vicious untrue “news” stories on Facebook, a time when too many people tend to believe anything they see or hear on social media, a time when a president who is himself at times a purveyor of fake news blasts the mainstream media constantly for churning out fake news. O’Connell’s comment should be inscribed everywhere to remind us all how diligent we should be in pursuit of accuracy, of truth. It should be inscribed on plaques in news rooms, in the lobbies of legislatures and on the walls of the West Wing in the White House. We should all heed the advice. Here it is, again: “In the age of instant information, students (and everyone else, we hasten to add) need to know the difference between a primary source and a secondary source to sift out misinformation.”

Opinion Roberta’s pizza dough ‘delizioso’ Is there anything better than a good – a really good – pizza? Well, I don’t think so. It would be my treat du jour on a desert island. If I were parked on Death Row, my last-meal request would be a large excellent mushroom pizza with an icecold jumbo glass of Coca-Cola. I’d die happy. The other day, a Sartell resident, Jane Hoffmann, asked if I’d publish my pizza-dough recipe in the newspaper again. She had misplaced the clipping. “But I have a new one now,” I said. “An even better one.” “Oh, good,” she said. “Well, put that one in, then.” And so, here you are, Jane, and any other pizza lovers in Reader Land. Six months ago, this recipe was in the New York Times. It is based on the recipe used at Roberta’s in Brooklyn – a restaurant famed for its hole-in-the-wall rustic style and its sensational pizza. Roberta’s Pizza Dough 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup double-zero flour (known as 00 flour). 2 Tbsp. corn meal (this is my own addition). ¾ tsp. active dry yeast. 1 tsp. fine sea salt or kosher salt. 1 tsp. olive oil. A tad less than 1 cup lukewarm water. (Note on the recipe: You can use two cups of all-purpose flour. Double-zero flour, so favored by purists, is a very fine-ground flour from durum wheat, and I’m told there is something
Dennis Dalman Editor special about its gluten and elasticity. Italians get very scientific about their flours; I’m not Italian. I’ve used both kinds of flour; both worked fine.) OK, ready? In a large bowl, mix the flour(s), corn meal, salt. In a medium bowl, mix water, yeast, oil. Pour the liquid into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. When dough sticks together, sprinkle extra flour on it and knead for 3 minutes. If dough is too sticky, keep dusting with flour while kneading. Cover dough in the big bowl. Let rest for 15 minutes. Knead again for 3 minutes. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a ball. Place balls on a cookie sheet dusted well with flour. Cover with a slightly damp towel and let them rest, rising, for 3 to 4 hours. Each ball makes a round pizza about 12 to 13 inches wide. You can use just one ball and place the other in the fridge. Just rub oil all over the ball, then put it in a covered container and pop into the fridge. It keeps for a week. Before using it, take it out of the fridge and let it sit for 40 minutes. Now you’re ready to bake. Turn the oven to 450 degrees and place your pizza stone (tile) on the very lowest shelf. Leave the oven on for 30 to 40 minutes so the stone gets very hot.
On a kitchen counter, sprinkle flour and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle. Then use fingertips to make dimples all over the dough. Instead of a rolling pin, you can act like an Italian and use your fingers to spread out the dough, and if you feel really Italiano (and coordinated), you can toss the dough into the air round and round while singing a Puccini-opera aria. I tried that once. Oops. Never again. Now, dust your pizza peel all over with corn meal. Place your rolled-out dough on the peel, then put your toppings on. Open the oven, tilt your peel at a slightly downward angle, give it a slight backward jerk or two while letting the pizza slide onto the hot stone. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool awhile before cutting. I like to sprinkle some parmesan cheese over each slice, the kind that comes in a green container. I can just hear a Neapolitan pizzamaker screaming at me, like a character in a Fellini movie: “Che schifo! Sei pazzo?! ” (How disgusting! Are you crazy?!) Italians abhor parmesan in a cardboard canister. It’s probably a misdemeanor, if not a felony, to use that stuff in Italy. Well, bully for them; I happen to think it’s tasty on pizza and spaghetti. Since I don’t intend to end up on Death Row any time soon, I’ll be able to make and eat as many pizzas as my heart desires. Delizioso! I hope you enjoy Roberta’s Pizza Dough. Next week, I’m going to write a column about the vital necessity of using a pizza stone and a pizza peel, and I will share a couple favorite recipes.
Letter to the editor
Volunteer seniors enjoy boosted health, well-being Jennifer Lieser, Catholic Charities I am writing to share some exciting news about the health benefits of volunteering for seniors. According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, a national study has shown volunteers who are 50 and older live longer than same-age non-volunteers. Another recent study of Americans of age 60 found those who volunteer reported lower disability levels and higher levels of well-being compared to those who do not volunteer. Volunteering may be particularly helpful for
older Americans undergoing a life stress such as moving or the death of a spouse or for those who are at risk for being isolated. One study found bereaved individuals who engaged in volunteering activities to help others experienced a shorter course of depression than those who did not volunteer. There is evidence the health benefits of volunteering are due to increased physical, social and mental activity that are a result of volunteering. The research findings are that volunteers not only help their community but also experience better health in their later years,
enjoying greater levels of well-being, lower rates of depression and increased levels of strength and energy. So, if you are in or are approaching your Golden Years, what are you waiting for? Start the process of volunteering by seeing what opportunities are available. The Foster Grandparent Program places senior volunteers ages 55+ in local schools and non-profit day-care settings. The benefits for both the Foster Grandparents and the children served are vast. Please contact Jennifer Lieser at 320-229-4589 or by email at jlieser@ccstcloud.org for more information.
College time brings excitement, stress The season has come again for talk of college and applications – millions of students writing applications and hopefully waiting for replies back from their favorite schools. It’s truly an exciting time, with a lot of work in picking schools, writing essays and filling in forms. The difference, though, is this year I am one of those students. It’s an interesting experience after so many years seeing older seniors and friends going through the process to now be a part of it myself. It’s been very exciting, seeing people go off to college and becoming successful in the next phase of life, but it’s also very stressful. Now I’m the one deciding what could come during the next few years. Things weren’t always this way. Universities and colleges have existed for hundreds and even thousands of years, but they’ve never been as accessible as they are now. Often serving either in the training of priests or the education of only the highest classes of society, post-secondary education is now an option for many more prospective students. So when did things change? The big start for mass university education in the United States started after World War II. Millions of veterans were coming back from the fight and
Connor Kockler Guest Writer were looking for good jobs and careers now that they were out of the military. Entering the G.I. Bill into the equation, its benefits allowed many people to attend university and trade school, something they might not have been able to afford before. Now a new world of opportunity was opened, and the middle class grew and thrived. The big issue today, though, is that getting a degree is almost a necessity. Whether it’s trade school or up to getting a doctorate, most high-earning jobs now need a second diploma after your high school one. With so many schools out there, it’s not just an issue of going to the one place to get the one degree you’re looking for. There are a lot of options to navigate, with a lot potentially on the line. It’s an exciting thing to think about, though. For years I’ve worked hard in school and thought about what I could see myself doing in
the future. I might also have a new place to call home for a little while. I’ve spent the entirety of my 18 years living in Sauk Rapids, and now comes the part where I could be spending the next four years in someplace entirely different. It will certainly be a change, but it’s one I’m really looking forward to. So if you’re a student looking at this situation, or a family member of one, make sure you’re prepared. College can seem daunting, but if you have the right information with you, applying and visiting schools can be enjoyable and informational. Know the questions you want to ask before you talk to representatives and keep updating your plans and ideas. Going to college and university is a big step in life, and after much schoolwork and thought, I’m at the point where my world will be changing. I wish good luck to all of the high-school students of the Class of 2018. From what I’ve seen, there are many great people who are definitely going places, and I hope the best for everyone in the future. Good things are certainly ahead. Connor Kockler is a Sauk Rapids-Rice High School student. He enjoys writing, politics and news, among other interests.
