ASA sixth-grade students in Betty Pundsack’s classroom celebrated Leap Day Feb. 29 by opening letters they wrote to themselves four years ago, when they were in second grade. Pictured with their letters are the following: (front row, left to right) Reese Moneypenny, Jaedyn Nydeen, Alaina Botz, Tommy Smith and Brennan Thielen; (back row) Colin Klein, Max Meyer, Kenzie Finken, Claire SiaSu, Sam Harren, John Hawkins and Grant Wensmann.
This year’s All Saints Academy second-grade and sixth-grade students were able to be part of a Leap Day project that began at least four Leap Days ago. During the first year the Leap Day project began, second-grade teacher Betty Pundsack said students were learning about writing a friendly letter. She thought it might be fun for the students to write themselves a letter and then changed it to having students write themselves a letter four years in the future. In their letters they can make predictions about
themselves, their families and our world, or imagine what their interests would be and more. They could also write about what they were doing that particular day and include a few current events. When the students are in sixth grade, Pundsack returns the letters to them and has the present second-grade students write themselves a letter. Besides having the students open and write letters, Pundsack discusses with the students the novelty of the extra Leap Day, gives a basic explanation of why we have Leap Day and they play the game Leap Frog. “If a student has moved Students • back page
SJP student heads to state spelling bee by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
St. John’s Prep sixth-grade student Matthew Bolton was named the National Geographic State Bee semifinalist by the National Geographic Society. He will compete in the Minnesota National Geographic State Bee contest to be held April
1 at St. Cloud State University. Bolton’s teacher, Mary Anderson, said he is a “walking encyclopedia.” Bolton “He knows everything about everything,”
she said. “It does not surprise me at all that he knows so much about geography as well. He’s a sponge who soaks up things easily and remembers them.” SJP director of communications and events Jill Pauly said 100 elementary and middleschool students will compete at the state bee. Bolton won the SJP compe-
tition and went on to take the state qualifying exam. Twenty students in grades six through eight participated in the SJP bee. “It’s a big honor,” Bolton said. “Only 100 kids from the whole state will compete so that alone is a big deal. Geography connects the world and you can use it for almost everything. A truck Bee • page 3
Boy Scouts now collecting used shoes by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Boy Scouts in central Minnesota hope to collect up to 25,000 pairs of used, gently-worn shoes by Boy Scouts’ logo April 16. The shoes will be redistributed, via the non-profit Soles4Souls in countries around the world, including the United
States. The local project is sponsored by the Central Minnesota Council of Boy Scouts whose members are putting door-knob flyers about the shoe pick-up drive at residences throughout the area. However, those who do not receive the flyers can still donate shoes. They can be brought to the Boy Scout Headquarters building at 1191 Scout Drive in Sartell just off Pinecone Road S. Drop shoes off there by the deadline, April 16. Soles4Souls was founded in 2006 when the need for shoes Shoes • back page

The College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph was recently named 16th in a list of the best small colleges for 2016. The ranking was created using the Integrated Post-secondary Education Data System to narrow a list of schools granting four-year degrees or more and with a total enrollment of 4,000 students or less. The schools were then ranked based on net price, retention rate, graduation rate and class size.
Five organizations serving communities in Central Minnesota were recipients of grants by the St. Paul-based Otto Bremer Trust as part of its most recent grant-making cycle to support charitable activities on a wide range of issues such as homelessness, financial stability and domestic violence. Grants awarded to organizations in Central Minnesota include: Central Minnesota Council, Boy Scouts of America, Sartell, $40,000, to support Scout Reach, a program that encourages young people with financial or
cultural barriers to participate in a scouting experience; Central Minnesota Mental Health Center, St. Cloud, $65,000, to support the St. Cloud Area Child Response Initiative, which provides a coordinated community response to children and families who have experienced violence or trauma; CommunityGiving, St. Cloud, $100,000, to build the capacity of community foundations in order to leverage financial and community resources; Promise Neighborhood of Central Minnesota, St. Cloud, $45,000, to provide family support services to low-income children and adults in the Talahi neighborhood of St. Cloud; and Tri-County Action Program Inc., Waite Park, $50,000, to provide free tax preparation to low-income residents of Central Minnesota by IRS-certified, volunteer tax preparers.

Geography is very important.” Bolton is the son of Nicole and Aaron Bolton of Sartell. He has two younger twin sisters, Amanda and Sarah. He previously competed in the state tournament in fourth grade and finished in 12th place. That year, he did not get to go into the final round of competition. This time, his goal is to make it to the final round and hopefully win. “I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up,” he said. “I like math, social studies and science. I hope to do something that combines all three subjects.” According to an SJP press release, this is the second level of the National Geographic Bee competition. Fourth- through eighth-grade students throughout the state compete in local school spelling bees and winners then take an online qualifying test. The National Geography Society invited up to 100 of the top-scoring students in each of the 50 states, Department of Defense Dependents Schools, District of Columbia and United

City eyes $600,000 grant for tower by Stuart Goldschen editor@thenewsleaders.com

A St. Joseph campaign to secure federal funds for a new city water storage tower is officially underway this weekend with city officials conspicuously on the front lines. Beginning tomorrow, March 16 (1991), members of the St. Joseph City Council and City Planning Commission will personally walk door-to-door to the city's 600 residences with an appeal for help. They will continue to canvass the community through March 22. The officials will ask residents to fill out a short community-needs survey questionnaire that is deemed vital for the success of the city's bid for a $600,000 grant to build the tower. The money, administered by the state through the Small Cities Development Grant Program, would pay for about half of the estimated $1.2 million, 500,000-gallon tower. A new tower will replace the existing 50,000-gallon structure, which was built in 1949 and is now considered insufficient for the growing needs of the city. City officials say the storage capacity of the current tower is so low there would not be enough water available at any given time to put out a large fire. They say there have been instances in the high-use summer months when house taps ran dry. The survey questionnaire was prepared by Denise Beigbeder, a professional St. Paul grant writer whom the city is hiring to write the grant and facilitate its passage through official channels, Beigbeder wrote the original rules for the state grant process and has been a member of the state panel reviewing grant applications. The city council met with Beigbeder in a special session on Feb. 29 to discuss the details of submitting an application for the grant. Beigbeder said the city has a good chance of getting the money if the application contains a needs-
survey study of the community in addition to other convincing arguments for the project. The questionnaire contains five questions, which officials say will take only two or three minutes to answer in writing. Resident anonymity will be respected, and the survey forms will be treated like secret election ballots, according to a city spokesman. City officials hope to receive a response rate of at least 50 percent. They will return to households where they received no response initially. The survey asks for 1) the number of people in the household by age group, 2) ownership or rental status, 3) total household income in 1990 in one of 11 different brackets, 4) a short description of water service to the household, and 5) a list of felt needs for community development improvements. Beigbeder said the survey is important to establish statistically the percentage of "low-tomoderate-income" residents in the city whom the grant money is intended to benefit. She said 51 percent must be in that category to qualify for the grant. An estimated 80 percent of residents in the greater St. Cloud area (including St. Joseph), she said, are believed to be in that category. According to state standards, a low-to-moderate income is $26,700 for a household of four persons and $18,700 for a single-person household, Beigbeder said. The city also must prove a legitimate need for the money, she said, to support its application in the face of heavy competition for the federal funds. She said six to 10 applications are usually approved each year. Beigbeder said she hopes to complete the grant application by July 15 for preliminary review before submitting it officially on Sept. 1. She said grants will be awarded in February and project construction could begin the following spring or summer. Beigbeder helped initiate a similar application for the St.
Joseph water tower in 1989. It was unsuccessful, she said, because there was not enough time then to prepare a well-documented supporting brief. The tower, if funding is approved, will be located adjacent to the railroad tracks near the intersection of College Avenue and Elm Street, north of Highway 75. Water transmission lines to service the increased city population will also be part of the project. City officials are undecided about the means of paying for the estimated $600,000 costs of the tower project that will not be covered by the grant. One suggestion being considered is a raise in water rates to spread the burden equally throughout the community. Those low-to-moderate-income households for whom the grant money is available are exempt from direct assessments for the project, Beigbeder said. The city will base its case for a water tower grant on the growth of the community and the need to provide adequate fire protection at all times, according to city officials. Councilman Leo Sadlo said the current tower must be filled four times a day during the summer and the available water is often insufficient to fight larger fires. "If adequate water is not available for dousing fires, your insurance policy is dead," he said. "It took every drop of water to extinguish the (St. Joseph) meat market fire (last year)." City Engineer Joe Bettendorf said the three city water wells now have to be pumped 20 hours per day to keep up with water needs in the summer. "I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but there's a high risk factor in the summer in being able to fight fires," he said. "There have been instances where we've run out of water and our fire-fighting capability is down to zero." Which led Mayor Steve Dehler to conclude, "if any project shows a need in St. Joseph, it's this one."

Its work throughout the years
included care of orphans and those whose parents for one reason or another just could not take care of them. In its mission or care of children, it also merged in 1980 with the St. Cloud Children’s Home, founded in 1953. Later care for children included intensive treatment for children with behavioral problems, including places in St. Cloud and Fergus Falls. Catholic Charities provides a vast array of services and help under the needs of emergency services, family and children, housing, mental health, senior health and wellness, adoption services and the Catholic Charities Food Shelf for residents in Sartell, Sauk Rapids, St. Cloud, St. Augusta and Waite Park.

Our View When planning summer garden, why not ‘plant a row’ for others? Many eager-beavers, seed catalogs in hand, are already itching to start digging in the good earth to plant their summer gardens. But whoa! Have patience. It’ll be awhile. However, now is a good time to do garden planning. And why not, as part of that planning, decide to “plant a row” for those in need? Catholic Charities of Central Minnesota promotes a great idea called “Plant a Row, Harvest a Row.” It’s a way for area food shelves, senior-dining facilities and Meals on Wheels to receive local fresh-grown produce right from area gardens. It’s such a simple – but effective – good deed. Gardeners plant an extra row of anything they choose, and then they bring the harvested foods to any local or regional agency that helps feed the hungry. There are numerous examples of the successes of this type of charitable gardening. For examples: • The Rice Food Shelf has often distributed fresh-grown veggies contributed by home gardeners in that area. • The Rejuv Medical facility in Waite Park created a Community Giving Garden on its property, and last year it delivered almost 300 pounds of produce to the Senior Dining Program at Whitney Senior Center. • In 2015, Catholic Charities expanded the Plant a Row, Harvest a Row program to all of its 60 senior-dining sites in central Minnesota, and more than 10,000 servings of locally grown fresh fruits and veggies were served to congregate diners and Meals on Wheels clients. • Recipients are so grateful for the fresh produce. A woman in Milaca said the fruits and veggies she received made it easier to manage her and her husband’s diabetes. • Donations of fresh produce are used in a variety of delicious ways: in salads, sandwich wraps, dessert sauces, soups and casseroles. Some are frozen for later use. There are many donor sites to which homegrown produce can be delivered. Gardening planners might want to check senior-dining locations nearest to them. They can be found via www.ccstcloud.org. Catholic Charities Emergency Services accepts produce at 157 Roosevelt Road in St. Cloud. They are accepted at Door D from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Fridays and until 6 p.m. Wednesdays. To find out more, or how to become part of the Community Giving Garden partnership program, call Mare Simpler, specialist for Catholic Charities health promotions, at 320-229-4591. Plant a Row, Harvest a Row is a great way to enjoy gardening while helping others become healthier in the process.

Opinion Of uptalk, vocal fry, snide glide Did you ever listen to a young woman talk when you swear she’s about to morph into a croaking frog right before your eyes? Well, don’t feel so alone. There’s a technical name for it. It’s called “vocal fry,” one of the most annoying verbalpattern trends in a long time. Some blame the trashy, air-headed Kardashian sisters for this froggy fad because they are known for talking that way – speaking a word or two, especially at the end of a sentence, by lowering the voice and evoking a kind of guttural-croaky flutter. It’s often used to express disdain or sarcasm. Men do that, too, but it’s not noticed as much since most men have deep voices to begin with. You will often hear vocal fry in countrywestern singing, male and female, and it’s often so overdone with fake sappy sentiment it ruins many an otherwise decent song. Awhile back, I wrote a column about people who are degrading the English language through sloppiness in writing. Some gentleman emailed me to thank me, and then he suggested I write a column about two of his pet peeves – vocal fry and uptalk. I knew what uptalk is; it’s long been one of my peeves, too. But I had no idea what he meant by vocal fry – until, that is, I googled it and saw and heard a video of Zooey Deschanel doing “vocal fry” on a talk show. She was talking about her dogs. “They’re so cute, yeahhhhh. They reallllly like me,” she said, turning the words “yeah” and “really” into low-down guttural swamp croaks. Just then, the meaning of vocal fry dawned on me. “Oh, that!” I said. “I didn’t know that irritating habit had a name.” Why vocal fry? Nobody seems to know. Some who research the human voice think
Letter to the editor
Dennis Dalman Editor it might be that women are trying to attain a gravitas by mimicking men’s low voices. Studies show men with low voices tend to make more money and are taken a tad more seriously than men with higher, wimpier voices. Other researchers think some women use the vocal fry because they think it’s sexy, like a cat-purring come-on. According to the Journal of Voice, three of four women are using vocal fry these days. The question is: When, oh when, will they stop it? Now, let’s move on to uptalk. Uptalk, also known as a high-rising terminal, is when people go around asking questions all day, even when they don’t need answers. What they do is make their statements sound like questions because they raise their voice on the last word. Again, usually it’s women who do this. Here are some examples: “I’m going to go to the café now and have some coffee?” “I love when summer comes around?” “Like, hey, I went to the supermarket yesterday? I, like, bought some yogurt? And I really liked it?” Again, nobody knows how uptalk originated, although teen-aged “Valley Girls” in California used uptalk to the point of nausea in the 1980s. Enough to “gag you with a spoon,” as they used to put it. Diane DiResta, a professional speaking coach, calls uptalk a rampant “verbal virus” that can make girls and women sound tentative, insecure, unconfident
and weak. It is, she said, deadly in job interviews, and she recommends all girls and women, with one another’s help, practice stopping it. Another verbal tic is one I call the snide glide because I don’t know if it has even been named yet. As far as I can tell, it originated among yuppie sorts in the 1980s, probably on college campuses, because I’ve heard it most often from people who came of age as College Joes at about that time. Joe Scarborough, co-host of the Morning Joe show on TV, uses the snide glide quite often. It’s a way of pronouncing a word in a kind of snide way and drawing the word out in a slightly nasal drawl. Example: “Well, Mika is in southern Frannnce again, soaking up the sun, probably.” The snide glide is not excessively annoying, but it does give an almost cocky, condescending impression of the speaker. And speaking of the Morning Joe show, co-host Mika Brezinski should quit using the word “sorry.” She too often precedes her statements with that word, spoken in a kind of whining voice. “Well, I’m sorrrry, but I think that candidate went too far with his vulgarity.” And she often adds, “You may think I’m crazy, but that’s how I feel.” It’s easy to understand why she uses those words, betraying her defensiveness. It’s because co-host Joe often teases, browbeats and talks over her. But what’s ironic is Brezinski started the “Know Your Value” movement, an excellent empowering effort for women in the workplace, and so she, of all people, should quit using such defensive, whimpering, apologetic words when she states her good opinions.
‘Cannibal’ column was best summary
William Haider, Sauk Rapids
Editor Dennis Dalman’s column in the March 11 Sauk Rapids-Rice, Sartell-St. Stephen
and St. Joseph Newsleaders (“Cannibal candidates ruin the Party”) is by far the best summary I’ve read or heard of where we find the Republic presidential nomination process and
how it got to this point. It was a pleasure to read. I passed it on to several correspondents who will post it to social media (which I don’t use). Thank you and keep up the good work.
Kind connections make great things happen
With the political race in full swing and a great deal of negativity strewn across various media outlets, it’s easy to get discouraged – to feel as though we are doomed. How many of us scroll through our social media feeds and come across an angry rant or a heart-wrenching story that brings down our mood and maybe even our whole day? Sometimes these stories and posts compel us to act, but more often than not, these stories make us question how we will ever solve these problems? Last year I was looking for a change. I decided to become a freelance writer for the Newsleaders. I have a background in technical writing and always had a desire to explore this other avenue. I was assigned a few human-interest stories that focused on people and organizations trying to make a difference. After my first article, I realized this job was far more than just writing an informative story. The time I had with interviewees began to transform my thinking. All of these people and organizations were doing amazing work in our cities, and their voices were filled with so much passion and heart you knew their big dreams would one day be a reality. These interviews made me realize how much good there is in the world. People are striving to make the world greener and that began to stir my own passions. So many
Jenna Trisko Guest Writer of us have dreams and aspirations, but we feel as though they aren’t attainable due to a number of challenges or limitations, such as: “It will cost too much” or “I don’t have the time or the resources or the skill set to pull it off.” Through my interviews, I realized none of these people came into their good deeds with the money, or the skill set or the time to make a difference, but somehow they managed to ignore those fears and concerns and still take possibilities and turn them into realities. So I encourage you all to seek out great people. They are all over the place, waiting to share that beautiful, positive energy with you. It could be your next-door neighbor, the supermarket clerk, or someone who has a mutual friend on Facebook that with one click could become your new socialmedia buddy. I also work for an animal-welfare organization, and we use social media regularly to make connections with our supporters and the public. Yesterday, I received a mes-
sage from a volunteer who was not one of my Facebook friends and a person I had not met previously. This woman sent the kindest message to me that read, “Hi, my name is Jenna too. I see we both like cats and we both support the rescue, so I think we should be friends.” The simplicity and realness of that message floored me, almost like how a child would reach out to another child to make friends. As adults, we so easily lose the ability to engage with others out of fear we won’t meet the confines of unwritten social-conformity rules. It made me see how simple it really is to make connections, especially as technology continues to advance. So I encourage you to find those people who bring you energy and make you feel alive. Weed out the negativity because we all know the world can sometimes be dark. With connections, it’s easy to make the world much brighter. Connection is what makes great things happen. Trisko received her master’s degree in experimental psychology from the University of North Dakota in 2012. She volunteered for four years with the Tri-County Humane Society and is now grants and donation coordinator for Ruff Start Rescue.

Students from front page or changed schools, I do everything I can to forward the letters to them,” Pundsack said. She said the students often smile and gasp about what they wrote in their letters. ASA sixth-grade students received their Leap Day letters, which they wrote in second grade, on Feb. 29. Pundsack said the students had reminded her in advance about the day and were very excited as they read their let-
ters to themselves. “Oh my gosh, I wrote so small,” Reese Moneypenny said. “I can’t believe I wrote so much,” Claire SiaSu said. “You guys, we didn’t even have school on Leap Day that year,” Sam Harren said, because the day was canceled due to snow. “Wow, we were (named) St. Joe Lab (School) four years ago,” Kenzie Finken said. “Hey, we had a huge snow hill that year,” Alaina Botz said. “The letters included lots of references to their families, pets, the Iowa Basic Skills test
they had just taken, that our president was Barack Obama, lots of names of friends and their favorite classes,” Pundsack said. “They giggled, shared and in general were so happy to catch a glimpse of themselves four years ago.” She said changes included the school is now named All Saints Academy instead of St. Joseph Lab School, that the students now take the Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress test instead of the Iowa Basic Skills tests, that they did have school on Leap Day this year and that there was less snow this year.
