David Bustos, 45, of Silver
Lake, was sentenced to life in
prison Thursday afternoon
after being found guilty of four
felony murder charges in rela-
tion to the
s t a b b i n g
death of his
gi r l f r i end,
D o mi n g a
Limon, dur-
ing an argu-
ment at her
G l e n c o e
home in
F e b r u a r y
2012.
Judge Michael Savre sen-
tenced Bustos on the most se-
rious charge, first-degree
murder while committing do-
mestic abuse with a past pat-
tern of domestic abuse.
Savre said a first-degree
murder charge has a manda-
tory sentence of life imprison-
ment. A person convicted of
first-degree murder must serve
at least 30 years in prison be-
fore being eligible for parole.
The other convictions were
for second-degree murder with
intent, not premeditated; sec-
ond-degree murder without in-
tent, while committing a
felony; and third-degree mur-
der, perpetrating an eminently
dangerous act and evincing a
depraved mind.
Bustos was found guilty of
the four charges during a jury
trial in McLeod County Dis-
trict Court, which spanned
from Feb. 19 through Feb. 25,
with the jury returning its ver-
dicts Feb. 25.
Savre invited members of
Limon’s families to address
the court at Thursday’s hear-
ing, but none did.
McLeod County Attorney
Mike Junge, who prosecuted
the case, asked the judge to
“impose the mandatory life
sentence,” the net effect of
which, Junge said, would be a
minimum of 30 years in
prison, with a credit of just
over a year for the time Bustos
spent in the McLeod County
Jail while awaiting trial.
Frances Eggert, Bustos’
public defender, said he had
“no position” on the sentence.
Bustos also was allowed to
address the court, and did so
through a court-appointed at-
torney.
Bustos indicated that he was
being punished for more than
that of which was guilty, and
that the court should take into
consideration his work history
and his responsibility for tak-
ing care of his family.
“I’ve always worked and
given them (family) every-
thing,” said Bustos. “I may be
a drunk, but I’ve always been
responsible for my family.”
Bustos also alleged that
abuse allegations were un-
founded, and were made in
order that Limon could get
asylum in the United States.
That, Bustos contended, was
never investigated, and that he
had never abused his family.
“You’ve asked some ques-
tions I don’t have the answers
for,” Savre told Bustos. “We
don’t know what was going
through Ms. Limon’s mind.”
Savre also said he did not
have “any discretion in this
matter. Minnesota statute man-
dates this sentence.”
Savre also advised Bustos
that any first-degree murder
conviction “is entitled to an
automatic appeal.”
Bustos was sent to the St.
Cloud State Prison.

Summer rec. sign up March 20

F
or the last six months,
Silver Lake has been
home to Chinese na-
tive Qiwei Huang, also known
as “Zinnia,” and in her short
time in the United States, Zin-
nia has grown to love karate,
decorating Christmas trees
and mashed potatoes.
Zinnia, 17, is from Wuhan,
China, and moved to the area
last August as part of the for-
eign exchange student pro-
gram through the STS
Foundation (STSF).
She is living with Tim and
Jennell Johnson, and their
daughter, Sam, 16, and she at-
tends Glencoe-Silver Lake
High School.
Almost immediately, Zinnia
joined extracurricular activi-
ties at GSL.
“She arrived late Wednes-
day due to flight delays, and
on barely five hours of sleep,
she auditioned Thursday
morning for the fall musical,
‘Annie,’” Jennell Johnson
said.
“That was a lot of fun. I
sang a Chinese pop song. This
is my first time here, so I
don’t know too many English
songs,” Zinnia laughed.
Zinnia also said she tried
playing soccer and joined
cheerleading, “but I like
karate best,” she said.
“We are a karate family.
And Zinnia’s already earned
her orange belt,” Jennell John-
son added.
All three of the Johnsons
and Zinnia are part of the
Glencoe Karate Club.
“It’s through the Glencoe
Community Ed program, and
Lisa Bohnert is our sensai,”
Jennell Johnson added.
Zinnia said they don’t have
the opportunity to participate
in sports and other activities
outside of school in China.
“The most new thing for me
is being in sports. In China,
we are always learning. We go
to school early and come
home late,” Zinnia said.
She added that she is not
home until 8:30 p.m. most
days from school.
“There’s no chance to do
sports since we stay at school
all day,” she said.
“Also, because I’m always
at school in China, I don’t re-
ally see movies. I have seen
more movies here than I have
in several years in China,” she
laughed.
“Yes, we’ve taken her to a
Zinnia
Turn to page 2
lot of movies,” Tim Johnson
laughed.
“So far, ‘Men in Black’ is
my favorite. Oh, and now it’s
‘Brave,’” Zinnia added.
Zinnia also added that she
“loves cartoons.”
“My favorite is a Chinese
cartoon about sheep. Lots of
sheep and two wise wolves.
It’s really funny,” Zinnia
laughed.
The Johnsons traveled with
Zinnia to Florida in Decem-
ber, where she experienced
the magic at Walt Disney
World and life on the beach.
“I love Space Mountain,”
she said.
“She screamed the whole
time! It’s one person to a car,
in a line, and we’re sitting
way in front, and she was be-
hind us, but I could hear her
scream the whole time,” Tim
Johnson laughed.
“And we headed to Tampa
and spent time on the beach.
We even did karate on the
beach,” Jennell Johnson said.
“Mmm, I love the beach. It
was cool,” Zinnia said.
The Johnsons also took Zin-
nia to see “their farm” in Per-
ham, the Mall of America, the
Minnesota Institute of Arts
and the Minnesota Zoo.
“We even took her to work
with us,” Jennell Johnson
said.
Jennell Johnson works at
Best Buy Corporate office and
Tim Johnson works for
Rudolph Technologies.
“And she came to a blood
drive with us. She was very
scared watching me, I could
see her concern,” Tim John-
son said.
In December, the Johnsons
took Zinnia sledding to
Rocket Hill in Hutchinson,
and they went to Turk’s Trees
to cut their own Christmas
tree.
“When I was 9, my parents
bought a real Christmas tree,
but it was little. The tree we
got this year was big, and re-
ally hard to cut,” Zinnia
laughed. “I felt proud when it
was all decorated.”
Zinnia also has been enjoy-
ing the activities of winter, in-
cluding building snowmen
and participating in snow
fights.
“Sam pushed me in the
snow,” Zinnia laughed. “It
was cold! I like the snow, but
I don’t like the cold!”
“We think these two are like
siblings, separated at birth.
They are always teasing each
other and goofing around,”
Jennell Johnson laughed.
Zinnia also experienced the
American Halloween tradi-
tions when Sam took her to a
few houses trick-or-treating,
“just to get a feel for it,” Sam
Johnson said.
“She also carved a pumpkin
for the first time,” Sam John-
son added.
“And I made a pumpkin
pie,” Zinnia said.
The Johnsons said the
karate club has also offered a
lot of opportunities for Zinnia
to experience United States
culture, including a trip to the
Renaissance Festival.
“Through Karate Club, we
did garbage detail one week-
end at the Renaissance Festi-
val. It was filthy, but before
we did that with Zinnia, we
took her to enjoy it,” Jennell
Johnson laughed.
“Zinnia really has an excel-
lent work ethic. She didn’t
mind picking up garbage,”
Tim Johnson laughed.
Tim Johnson added that
Zinnia has not only volun-
teered to clean up garbage, but
was a huge help at the annual
community Thanksgiving din-
ner in Silver Lake. “She
helped peel potatoes,” he said.
“And I was in charge of the
corn,” Zinnia added.
“She is very good at helping
with chores at home, includ-
ing taking out the garbage and
reycling. And she even
cooks,” Tim Johnson said.
“For awhile, we were in the
habit of cooking Chinese food
every Tuesday night. It was
great! And she’d jump in and
want to take over,” Tim John-
son laughed.
He added that Zinnia was a
“good sport” and always tried
everything he would cook.
Zinnia said her favorite
foods so far have been pizza,
potatoes, pasta and turkey.
“Mmm, I love pizza. In
China, pizza is not so good. I
have never tasted pizza so
good until I got here,” Zinnia
said.
Another big experience for
Zinnia has been the change in
climate and atmosphere.
“Wuhan is a big city with a
lot of pollution and gray sky,”
Zinnia said.
“Before coming to Silver
Lake, Zinnia hadn’t seen
white clouds, blue sky, sun-
sets, or stars and the moon at
night,” Tim Johnson said.
“I, maybe, would see one
star in China,” Zinnia said.
“Watching her respond to
things like this that we take
for granted was a new experi-
ence for us. And she asked us
many questions at first, want-
ing to absorb everything. She
is very inquisitive,” Tim
Johnson said.
Tim Johnson added that
Zinnia hadn’t seen much agri-
culture in her own country.
“A lot of fields and cows
here,” Zinnia laughed.
“We are having a lot of fun
with Zinnia. I think the reason
we started hosting foreign ex-
change students is to give
Sam, our only child, the expe-
rience of what it’s like to have
siblings,” Jennell Johnson
said.
“Zinnia is the fifth foreign
exchange student we have
hosted. We have had three
from Brazil, and one student
from Poland. Kari Becker is
our local coordinator, and it
has been great,” Tim Johnson
said.
The Johnsons added, “Zin-
nia has a wonderful sense of
humor and makes us laugh.
We are enjoying our time with
her.”

I love food.
I know it seems like such a
simple statement, but I have
been cooking and baking a lot
more lately, and realized as I
was chopping cabbage, celery,
tomatoes, peppers and green
onions to make a soup just
how much I love food.
One of my New Year’s res-
olutions was to be healthier, so
I felt that this vegetable soup
would be a good supplement
to the recent shipment of Girl
Scout cookies sitting in my
pantry.
With working parents and
three younger brothers, I
started my cooking career at a
young age.
My first invention was
peanut butter sandwiches
stuffed with marshmallows
and chocolate chips, warmed
in the microwave for about 20
seconds before the marshmal-
lows blew up and covered the
appliance in a sticky, white
mess.
That was a learning experi-
ence, but the sandwiches were
a hit with my brothers.
As I got older, my menus
grew and soon I was making
all kinds of macaroni and
cheeses, hot dishes, and Ham-
burger Helpers. Soon I per-
fected double-layer cakes, the
softest chocolate chip cookies,
and the tastiest banana breads.
In college, I was known for
my rum cake, which without
the baking secrets of Grandma
Genny, I wouldn’t have per-
fected. But it was probably the
rum that made it so popular.
But I should mention, I have
had my fair share of cooking
and baking mishaps — from
ovens on fire to nearly cutting
my fingers off.
In high school, my senior
year, I took a home economics
class. You know, one of those
easy classes where you bake
and try to sew and goof off
with your friends.
My cooking partner was my
friend, and crush, Zac, so of
course when it was our assign-
ment to bake a pan of brown-
ies from scratch, I was
confident I could win his heart
with my baking skills.
After all, isn’t the way to a
man’s heart through his stom-
ach?
Well, I was too confident for
my own good. I never thought
following a recipe was diffi-
cult, but apparently I was dis-
tracted enough to ruin the
brownies in two ways.
First, we started breaking
off pieces of the chocolate
bark and cracking the eggs
into a glass bowl, before we
read that we should have
melted the chocolate before
doing anything.
Shoot.
So we tried to whisk out as
much of the eggs from the
bowl as we could before heat-
ing the chocolate in the mi-
crowave.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get
all of the egg out of the bowl,
and were left with scrambled
yellow bits of eggs in our
melted chocolate.
Yummy, huh?
We had a laugh about it and
joked we’d probably get a “B”
grade now for our ignorance.
That is until we were done
mixing up the batter, poured it
into our 9x13-inch pan and
shoved it in the oven for 20-25
minutes at 350 degrees.
While waiting for the
brownies, we got to talking
and started goofing around
when we noticed clouds of
gray smoke seeping out the
sides of the oven door.
Yikes!
Our classmates shouted for
Mrs. Bethke, our teacher, as
all sorts of fire detectors
started shrieking in the room.
We grabbed dish towels and
started swiping the air in front
of the fire detectors to quiet
their sirens and to clear the
smoke as we pulled the pan of
charred brownies from the
rack.
So much for an “easy” class
and that “B” grade. We left the
classroom that day with an
“incomplete” and another
project. I think it was some-
thing easier, like pasta.
How embarrassing for my
chef skills.
After that, I vowed to al-
ways read the directions first
and to always set a timer.
And ever since I rely on
Betty Crocker for all my pans
of brownies.
Vow to read directions, set a timer

Final Record: 14-7.
Hartwig best in state
Wins twice in OT, finishes 42-2; Jewett is 6th
Photo by Kevin Simonson
GSL/Lester Prairie senior Mitchell Hartwig exalts after
winning a state Class AA championship at 145 pounds.
March 2 action is from the Xcel Energy Center in St.
Paul.
match with KM’s Schorr, scor-
ing a takedown and a 2-point
nearfall for a 4-0 lead after one
period.
Each wrestler scored a rever-
sal in the second period, and
Hartwig added another in the
third for his 8-2 decision.
• Quarterfinals: Detroit
Lakes sophomore Parker Jack-
son scored takedowns in each
of the first two periods, which
had him out in front, 4-0.
In the third period, Hartwig
got a takedown, let Jackson go,
and eventually received a
penalty point when Jackson
was hit for stalling. A Hartwig
takedown late in the third pe-
riod tied the score at 5-5 and
forced overtime.
After the combatants wres-
tled a scoreless minute of over-
time on their feet, then two 30-
second OT periods on the mat,
the match came down to an ul-
timate tiebreaker. Jackson
chose to ride, but Hartwig es-
caped in the final seconds for a
6-5 decision.
• Semifinals: While Hartwig
pushed the action, it was
Becker’s Zach Zimmer who fi-
nally tallied the initial take-
down, plus a 3-point nearfall,
for a 5-0 advantage.
Zimmer’s lead was only 6-
5, though, after Hartwig scored
an escape point and two take-
downs in the second period.
After a Zimmer escape,
Hartwig knotted the count with
a takedown. When the Panther
wrestler turned Zimmer for
three nearfall points, he moved
ahead, 10-7. A stalling point
and a Zimmer escape made it
10-9, but that was it. It was
Hartwig advancing to the
championship match against
Simley’s Short.
• Finals: When Hartwig and
Short met at the state meet two
years ago, Short notched three
takedowns while winning a 6-
3 decision.
This time, the two wrestled
through a scoreless first period.
After Hartwig won the flip and
chose to start the second period
under Short, he escaped for a 1-
0 lead.
Hartwig rode Short for a
good portion of the third pe-
riod. However, Short eventu-
ally scored a reversal, which
gave him a 2-1 lead. Hartwig
escaped, however, to force
overtime.
Three scoreless extra periods
followed, setting the stage for
another ultimate tiebreaker.
This time, Hartwig had the
choice, and he opted to ride.
On two occasions, the
wrestlers went out of bounds,
with Short trying to stand, but
Hartwig picking up an ankle
each time; the second time with
nine seconds remaining.
From the middle of the mat,
Short tried for a switch, but
Hartwig stepped over and
buried him.

— A special gathering to cel-
ebrate GSL/LP’s state wrestlers
will be held Saturday, March 9,
at the GSL High School audi-
torium. The event begins at 1
p.m. The public is invited.
By Lee Ostrom
Sports Editor
Y
ou might call
him “The
C o me b a c k
Kid.” “Master
of the Ulti-
mate Tiebreaker” is another
possibility. So is “Champ” —
as in Mitchell Hartwig, 2013
Minnesota high school state
champion in Class AA at 145
pounds.
Hartwig, who could not get
better than a second seed prior
to this year’s Section 2 tourna-
ment, now is Glencoe-Silver
Lake/Lester Prairie wrestling’s
first state champion since Nate
Matousek won his third of
three in a row in 2005.
Hartwig got his by winning
four straight matches last Fri-
day and Saturday at St. Paul’s
Xcel Energy Center; the last
three being stress-filled white
knucklers.
Indeed, after scoring an 8-2
decision over Branden Schorr
of Kasson-Mantorville in his
first-round match, Hartwig
overcame a 4-0 deficit to win
his quarterfinal in the fourth
overtime; fought back from 5-
0 behind to win his semifinal
by a point; and finally won his
second ultimate tiebreaker to
edge Simley’s Mack Short, 3-
2, in the championship match.
By the last match, Panthers
head coach Lance Wurm said
he was almost calm, having
convinced himself by then that
Hartwig was “destined” to be
the state champion.
“He got stronger as matches
wore on,” Wurm said, noting
that Hartwig’s will to win was
enormous.
“He made it happen,” Wurm
added.
Hartwig’s 42-2 senior sea-
son allowed him to reach 150
victories for his career — in
194 total matches.
Jacob Jewett, GSL/LP’s
other qualifier for the 2013
Class AA state tournament,
won his first two matches at
106 pounds; then lost his next
three to place sixth.
His 37-7 junior season gives
Jewett a 78-26 overall mark.

A closer look at Hartwig’s
four matches at the state meet:

Clarissa Ober
Ober totals: 1,441 points, 1,012 rebounds
By Lee Ostrom

When Glencoe-Silver Lake
fell 50-40 at No. 2 seed
Mankato East in last Tuesday’s
first round of the Section 2
(Class AAA) girls’ basketball
tournament, the brilliant high
school career of Panther senior
Clarissa Ober (left) came to an
end.
Ober, who plans to continue
playing basketball at South
Dakota State University in
Brookings, graduates from
GSL with 1,012 rebounds,
which is 170 more than any
other girl who has played at
Glencoe, Silver Lake or GSL.
In fact, prior to the Ober years,
only Carolyn Busse (842)
hauled down as many as 700
rebounds.
Ober became GSL’s all-time
leader in blocked shots as a
sophomore, and has been
adding on since. She finishes
with 344.
She also ranks fourth in
steals (229), ninth in assists
(175) and 10th in three-point
field goals (54). She almost
reached all-time scoring leader
Brittany Thiesfeld’s 1,446
points, but instead fell five
points shy — with 1,441.
Beyond all her individual
achievements, Ober is a team-
first leader. Twice this winter,
GSL’s girls endured a six-game
losing skid; and each time they
turned things around with de-
termined performances.
Their final mark is 9-17.
“I’m very proud,” head
coach Cullen Ober said. “They
stuck with it. There was no
quit. ... Every one of them
worked hard.”
***
— Mankato East got 34
points from Clair Ziegler, a 5-
11 junior post, who offers a
nice shooting touch from 15
feet in, shows “very good foot-
work” and does not shy away
from a physical game, accord-
ing to Cullen Ober.
Yet, GSL trailed by only two
points as the game entered its
final four minutes.
“We gave it a good shot,”
coach Ober said.
Panthers get 3rd seed; Royals here tonight
By Lee Ostrom
Sports Editor
Here is why any of the eight
teams in the South half of the
Section 5 (Class AA) boys’
basketball tournament might
win their subsection and ad-
vance to St. Cloud State Uni-
versity for the March 15
championship game:
— Top seed Jordan is 19-4
overall, but one of its losses
was by a 61-48 tally at Provi-
dence Academy back on Dec.
18. The Lions, 12-10, are the
eighth seeds and Jordan’s first-
round opponent Thursday
(March 7) evening.
— No. 2 seed Howard Lake-
Waverly-Winsted, 18-6, opens
with seventh-seeded Sibley
East, a team it barely eked past,
68-66, during the regular sea-
son.
— The Glencoe-Silver Lake
Panthers, 13-13, suffered more
regular-season losses than any-
one else in the South; yet are
the third seeds. They will tan-
gle wih No. 6 Watertown-
Mayer in the first round.
Who knows? Maybe the
winner of the first-round game
matching No. 5 NYA Central
and No. 4 Mayer Lutheran
winds up taking it all.
***
At the coaches’ seeding
meeting Feb. 27, GSL head
coach Robb DeCorsey pointed
out that his boys were 3-1
against the subsection —
falling to Jordan, but walloping
Watertown-Mayer (by 17
points), NYA Central (+20) and
Sibley East (+19). The Panthers
also played a grueling 14-game
schedule in the rugged Wright
County Conference, traveled to
Bloomington for a game
against the Class AAAA Jeffer-
son Jaguars, and knocked off
traditional Class AAA power
Rocori at home.
“Nobody else here played
the schedule we did,”
DeCorsey told his fellow
coaches in the South.
DeCorsey’s pitch was a win-
ner.
The Panthers now get to play
host to Watertown-Mayer on
Thursday, March 7, in Glencoe.
Opening tip is scheduled for
7 p.m.
If GSL wins, it advances to
Saturday’s second semifinal (8
p.m.) at Dassel-Cokato High
School. The subsection final
tips at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March
12 also at DC. The South win-
ner advances to the Section
5(AA) finals against the North
winner, Friday, March 15, at St.
Cloud State University. That
winner goes to state.
St. Cloud Cathedral and An-
nandale are the top two seeds in
the North.
***
The Panthers closed their
regular season with losses to
19-5 Litchfield, 22-3 Delano
and 15-9 Annandale. Margins
were 24 points, 17 and 20.
We will have a mostly quiet week behind the large storm
that hit the area early in the week. As I write this, the storm
is just getting going, so it will be fun seeing how much
snow everyone ended up with. The good thing about these
March snowstorms is knowing they will not last long!
Temperatures will hang right around normal for this time
of year, gradually inching up as we move toward the week-
end.
There could be a passing flurry Thursday with a weak
system, but I am guessing it will be dry for us.
The computer models keep us dry for the remainder of
the forecast, but another decent storm will enter the Upper
Midwest’s picture by Saturday-Sunday. Right now, the
models are keeping the storm to our south (Iowa), but if it
decides to move north a little bit, we would be in line for
some more precipitation. If we were to get the storm there
could be a mix early as it will have plenty of warm air to
play with. But like I said, track will be everything.
Have a great week, all, and enjoy the March snow while
you can.

Weather Quiz: When will we see our first 70-degree tem-

Answer to last week’s question: Normal snowfall for
March is about 10 to 16 inches, with the most being 40
inches.
Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
