Preview of community center set for April 6 by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
St. Joseph residents can get a sneak-peek of plans for the proposed community center at a public meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 6 at the St. Joseph Government Center. The public-information meeting was announced at the March Mack 20 city-council meeting. Murray Mack, president of HMA Architects, will present architectural drawings of options for the facility, which will be constructed primarily with regional half-cent sales-tax funds. It will be retrofitted into the building that once was Kennedy Elementary School and that is now, temporarily, Colts Academy. Mack has already presented preliminary designs and layouts at the Feb. 7 council meeting, but the new plans have been fine-tuned based on input Mack received from the council based on what residents would like to have in the center. As to exactly which amenities the center will house, nothing has been decided with certainty. Nonetheless, a consensus is beginning to emerge as the council, city staff, residents and architect
pool their ideas. The following are the amenities that stand a good chance of being included as part of the center: • Space for youth activities. • An area for senior-citizen activi-
ties. • Two gyms with an elevated walking track. • Up to a 5,000 square-foot area to Preview • back page

Grocer, benefactor Coborn dies at 86 by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Daniel Coborn, a resident of Sartell and a local grocery-store entrepreneur and benefactor, died Coborn March 15 at the age of 86. Coborn developed the chain of Coborn’s grocery stores far
and wide in the many decades after his grandfather, Chester, started the first Coborn’s store in Sauk Rapids in 1912. When Chester died in 1921, his sons Chester Jr. and Duke, became the business’s owners/managers. Dan Coborn, whose parents were Duke and Florence, led the company for 40 years, beginning in 1959 when his father died. Currently, Dan’s son, Chris, is Coborn’s Inc.’s president and chief executive
officer. Coborn started a second Coborn’s store in Foley in the 1960s. In the years that followed, a new store opened in 1974 and is still thriving in Sauk Rapids. By and by, other stores opened: two in St. Cloud, one in Sartell, one in Little Falls and in many other cities. Three of the newest are located in St. Cloud (the Cooper Avenue one), the Coborn’s SuperStore in Sartell (Sartell now has two) and one in St.
Joseph. From the fledgling Sauk Rapids produce market in 1912, Coborn’s Inc. has expanded far and wide in the 105 years since, now employing more than 8,000 people. Besides its Coborn’s-named stores, the business also expanded with the openings of many Little Dukes and Holiday convenience stores, Cash Wise grocery stores and liquor stores. Coborn • page 2

Art instructor Julia Olson demonstrates during one of her recent paint-party classes at the Bad Habit Brewing Co. Her next class will meet from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 28.
Many local residents are finding they have a bit of an artistic flair when it comes to creating works of art during Julia Olson’s paint-party classes held at the Bad Habit Brewing Co. in downtown St. Joseph. Olson has been packing the house with her paint-party classes, having hosted five classes so far. Lori Baggenstoss, who is a studio instructor at Rejuv Medical Sports and Orthopedic Medicine in Waite Park, lives in St. Joseph with her husband, Joe, and their three daughters. Baggenstoss recently attended

one of Olson’s classes with friends, Shareen Stommes of Cold Spring and Stephanie Spychala of St. Joseph. She has taken a few of Olson’s painting classes and loved every one of them. Baggenstoss said she chose to attend the classes because they are a fun alternative to the dinner-and-movie routine. She added that it’s affordable, different and when she’s there she doesn’t have to think about her job or what’s going on at home but can instead just immerse herself in the art and have fun catching up with her friends. Baggenstoss said she also likes that it helps support a local business. “Sounds amazing, right?” she Flair • page 5

City wants to sell old office items The City of St. Joseph may soon host a surplus-property sale to get rid of lots of abandoned items rendered useless when city staff moved into the new St. Joseph Government
Center last month. At the March 20 city-council meeting, city administrator Judy Weyrens said the items include chairs, tables, folder bins, microphones, shredders
and other office-related supplies. The time and date of the sale will be announced in the near future.

vice, he was accepted into law school but decided to return to Sauk Rapids to work with his father in the grocery business. Through the years, Dan Coborn developed a strong streak of philanthropy. He and Mabel gave generously to many good causes, such as United Way of Central Minnesota, which they helped found; the Boys and Girls Club, which they also helped found; Big Brothers Big Sisters; local schools and colleges; and the CentraCare medical system whose cancer center is named after the Coborn family. Coborn’s leadership in the grocery business and commitment to his customers, as well as his philanthropy, earned him many honors. In 1987, he was named Minnesota Grocer of the Year by the Minnesota Grocers’ Association. He also received awards from the College of St. Benedict, St. Cloud State University, the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce and United Way.
In 2002, he received the Father Walter Reger Distinguished Alumnus Award from St. John’s University, its most prestigious award, for his outstanding service to St. John’s as an alumnus. In 2013, Dan and Mabel were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the CentraCare Health Foundation. In 1999, Coborn’s was honored as one of the 10 most generous companies in the United States, an award sponsored by George magazine, which was founded by John F. Kennedy Jr. Dan Coborn is survived by his wife of 64 years, Mabel, and their five children, 10 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Coborn died peacefully in his Sartell home, surrounded by loved ones. His funeral service took place March 20 at St. Francis Xavier Church in Sartell; interment was in his home town’s Sacred Heart Cemetery, Sauk Rapids.
from front page Coborn retired as head of the company in 1999, although he continued to serve on its board of directors and remained a guiding force. Currently, Coborn’s Inc. owns and operates 54 facilities in six states (Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois). Born during the tough economic times of the Great Depression, Coborn and his three brothers did all kinds of menial and sometimes unpleasant work. He graduated from Sauk Rapids High School in 1948 and then enrolled in St. John’s University, where he played football and graduated with an economics degree in 1952. Coborn married Mabel Hansen of Rockville in 1952, then served in the U.S. Army for two years at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. After military ser-

from front page said. “Drink, socialize, follow a few steps – or ignore them – and leave with a gift you made. That ‘wow, I did this’ moment is pretty amazing too.” Matt Johnson of St. Joseph also attended two of Olson’s classes. He said he chose to try the classes to see what little artistic abilities he has. Johnson said Olson walked the class through step-by-step and made the class very enjoyable. “A fun event, with lots of fun people to meet, at a great venue,” Johnson said. “The employees at Bad Habit and Julia have combined to make a great event to bring friends and community members together.” Erica Sullivan of Sartell, who works in the banking industry in St. Cloud, has attended two of Olson’s classes. Sullivan has known Olson more than three years and said she knows she is an awesome elementary school art teacher and knew she would be great at teaching a non-artsy person how to paint beautifully. Sullivan attended Olson’s first painting class event to see what it was like and got hooked. “Julia doesn’t teach people, she guides them during her painting parties,” Sullivan said. “She is fun, easy-going and very personable. She is the perfect balance of positive attitude, fun and ability to help you end up with a great painting.” Olson, an art teacher at Avon Elementary School, has a bachelor’s degree in art education from
St. Cloud State University. She lives in St. Cloud but spends a lot of time in St. Joseph. “My classes are for everyone,” Olson said. “No experience is needed to attend and (you) leave with a beautiful canvas. It’s a fun and different night out in a relaxed environment.” Olson began instructing painting classes two years ago to raise funds to donate to the March of Dimes. Her sister-in-law, Josie Muyres of St. Joseph, and her mother-in-law, Bette Olson of St. Cloud, are very active in helping raise funds for March of Dimes and asked if she would be able to instruct adults also. Olson said she quickly learned she could. Since she already had the supplies, she decided to start her own small business called “Pretty Palettes.” Olson said she discussed the idea of having paint-party classes at the Bad Habit Brewing Co. with owner, Aaron Rieland, and he liked the idea of bringing a paint class to the brewery to offer a fun and different night out. “The rest is history,” Olson said. Anywhere between 18 to more than 30 women and men have attended Olson’s past painting classes held at the brewery. Due to space limitations, 33 is the most people she can have in a class. Most of her paintings are of landscapes and trees. “Trees and landscapes are organic and imperfect by nature,” Olson said. “They can all look completely different but still be beautiful.” She said she loves the idea of sharing her painting with others, especially with those who feel they don’t have an artistic

Grace-under-pressure rules at humane society
Want to see up-close what grace-unThank you, Dan Coborn, der-pressure looks like? Go visit the TriCounty Humane Society in east St. Cloud. for generous philanthropy I saw those wonderful people in ac-
A local grocery-store legend and kindhearted philanthropist has died. Dan Coborn, 86, who died March 15, left so many good, enduring things in his nearly nine decades in the greater St. Cloud area. Besides being a great entrepreneur, Coborn was extraordinarly generous in “giving back to the community,” as he called it. He, his wife Mabel and their five children have been constantly donating, directly and indirectly, to scores of good causes in the area, which include the CentraCare Coborn Cancer Center, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the local YMCA, St. John’s University facilities, scholarship funds for the universities of St. John’s and St. Benedict’s, and United Way of Central Minnesota that Dan and Mabel Coborn helped start. Such generosity was not limited to the greater St. Cloud area. Coborn and family have donated consistently to the many cities and areas where customers shop in their dozens of stores that include Coborn’s, Cash Wise and the Little Dukes and Holiday gas stations. Dan Coborn was a third-generation businessman. His grandfather, Chester, started a produce store in Sauk Rapids in 1912, then nine years later he opened the first Coborn’s grocery store in that city. Chester’s offspring and their offspring were always passionately committed to the grocery-store business, which grew steadily, one success after another. In 1963, two more Coborn’s were opened – one in Foley, the other on St. Cloud’s Fifth Avenue S. near the college area. Many in this area are old enough to remember shopping at the south St. Cloud store. Before that, the larger St. Cloud grocery stores were Piggly Wiggly (where downtown Perkins is now) and further to the west Red Owl and Super Valu. Coborn stores were always innovative, especially in featuring food products that customers wanted, such as ingredients for ethnic foods – Chinese, MexicanAmerican, as well as more varieties of fruits and vegetables. As society grew in new directions and as more people began to cook more adventurously, Coborn’s always strove to accommodate their customers with food products that had been impossible or hard to find at other stores. Besides Dan Coborn’s keen awareness of customer needs, he was determined to serve cities directly through philanthropy and also through civic participation. He served on the St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the St. Cloud Hospital Board and the boards of schools and colleges. We who have long lived in the greater St. Cloud area and the newer people who live here now should be grateful for Dan Coborn and his family. Coborn was a classic example of a successful entrepreneur and visionary who loved to share that success, in so many ways, with others. Thank you, Dan Coborn.

tion five times recently – the five times I brought homeless cats to them during late February, early March. In my neighborhood, every winter and spring there are pitiful homeless cats wandering around here, seeking a place to huddle out of the cold, looking for something – anything – to eat, hoping for a warm home. Those poor cats are either dumped off from cars or tossed out of homes by ignorant people who think, mistakenly, that cats are by nature “outdoor” creatures. Some of the cats, no doubt, were at one time “cute cuddly kittens” until they aged a year or two into cats, when their unfeeling owners decided they weren’t so “cute” anymore and tossed them out of their homes to fend for themselves. I’ve often said I would like to take those owners, drive them into the frozen countryside miles from anywhere, dump them off and see how they’d like it – cold, alone and helpless. I, along with next-door neighbors Richard and Marty Dubbin, deal with homeless cats every year. We have multiple pets of our own so we cannot take the strays into our homes. We do, however, feed them constantly and provide ways they can stay somewhat warm until we can live-trap them, before spring comes with its kitten-birth explosion. A month ago I called the TCHS and explained the problem to a woman named Lizz. Kind and thoughtful, she scheduled times on days that I could bring in the five
Dennis Dalman Editor cats, one by one. One morning, I baited the trap on my deck. I waited. Within minutes, my breath stopped as I saw the familiar black-andcinnamon cat step into the long wire-cage trap. To my astonishment, it stepped gingerly over the trap mechanism, ate the sardines, then expertly backed out of the cage and dashed off. You’d think it had graduated with honors from the Houdini Feline School of Escape. I learned quickly how to conceal the trap mechanism with a light kitchen towel. The next day, I caught the cute blackand-white cat, the one that would often look longingly through the windows into my warm living room, making my heart sink every time. It was traumatic to see her struggle in the cage with her bloodied nose, but I had to do what I had to do, driving her the 12 miles to the TCHS. Lizz expertly did the intake paperwork, putting “Dolores” (the name Lizz gave the cat) into the back room. During the next two weeks, with help from the Dubbins, I managed to catch four more cats – all of them sweet critters that had probably been housecats until their thoughtless owners discarded them like old socks. Every time I brought a cat in, the TCHS
was bustling with commotion – its staff busy with people popping in with questions or to view pets up for adoption. Despite the hectic hubbub, someone always dealt immediately with the intake of a cat I’d bring in. Lizz helped so expertly three times (with cats Dolores, Sylvester and Hazel), Claudine lovingly helped with a cat she named Tara, and Adam patiently processed one he dubbed Bubo. Another employee, Bryce, suffered a nasty scratch from Sylvester when the panicked cat dug one of its claws into his hand. Later, I learned Dolores (oops!) had to be renamed Dougie, as it was a male cat. The staff fell in love with its sweet purring nature, and the irresistible critter was adopted by happy “parents” within a week. Two of the cats, it was later learned, were pregnant. They were placed in foster homes. Poor Sylvester (not fond of people), was placed on a farm as a barn cat. The others, I think, I hope, will soon be put into the adoption room. There are no words to express my gratitude for the TCHS and its staff. Without it, without them, the cats they accepted from me would have been doomed in one terrible way or another. The TCHS has long been my favorite charity. My admiration for it is now stronger than ever. I keep urging everyone I know to give generously to it – in money, needed supplies or volunteer work. To find out more about it, ways you can help or how to adopt, visit tricountyhumanesociety.org – or, better yet, visit the place in person. Its address is 735 Eighth St. NE.

Letter to the editor:
Citizen activist Buckvold to hold press conference on Northstar rail project Anne Buckvold, St. Joseph I was pleased to see Gov. Mark Dayton has included in his budget proposal $3 million for a demonstration project of the Northstar Commuter Rail set to begin already this fall, and money to fund a study to determine ridership and costs for ongoing service. The Finish Northstar campaign has
been organizing for more than two years on this issue and this is the first time any elected official has been willing to invest public dollars in this long-overdue project. The leaders of GRIP/ISAIAH worked together across party lines and have tirelessly advocated that local elects do the same on this important issue that stands to benefit people across our region (and state!).
At 10 a.m. Saturday, April 8, I will hold a press conference at the St. Cloud Amtrak station. All are welcome to attend and show their support. I will be calling on area lawmakers, Reps. Jim Knoblach, Tamra Theis, Tim O’Driscoll and Jeff Howe along with Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt to support Gov. Dayton’s proposal, and to work together in doing so.
Let’s all celebrate our heritages, our diversities St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone again. In traditional fashion, the day is marked by parades, festivals and drinking. President Donald Trump had his annual meeting with the Irish Taoiseach (prime minister) in the White House, and the city of Chicago colored its river green. It’s quite amazing just how St. Patrick’s Day, as a celebration of Irish heritage, has become a national undertaking. But what about the many Minnesotans who do not have Irish heritage? St. Patrick’s Day is such a large event it made me wonder about some of the other ancestry we have here in Minnesota and the rest of the United States. The 2010 U.S. Census reports about 12 percent of Minnesotans have Irish roots. Our state is often associated with Germans and Scandinavians, and the census shows this as well. A little under 38 percent of Minnesotans reported themselves as German, with Scandinavians making up a little under 17 percent. Rounding out the rest of the population, Minnesota has six percent English, five percent Polish and about four percent for both French and Italian ancestry. All other ethnicities and ancestry groups make up less than three percent of the population each. So the question is: What celebrations are there for the other ancestry groups in our state, and how do they compare to St. Patrick’s Day? To start, there are two days celebrated most often for GermanAmerican heritage. These are Von Steuben Day and German-American Day. Von Steuben Day is usually celebrated in mid-September, and honors the famous general who helped train American troops
Connor Kockler Guest Writer in the Revolutionary War. German-American Day is Oct. 6. It was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, with the date honoring the founding of the first German-American settlement in Pennsylvania in 1683. For Scandinavian-Minnesotans, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Danes and others, there are a multitude of festivities. Norwegian-Americans often celebrate Syttende Mai, or Constitution Day, on May 17. Sweden Day has been held on June 6 in New York City since 1941. Finnish-Minnesotans have an especially local holiday, as St. Urho’s Day was created in Virginia, Minn. When questioned about the Finns’ lack of a saint like St. Patrick for the Irish, Richard Mattson invented St. Urho, whose celebration day of March 16 is observed in several northern states, as well as Canada. Another major holiday is Juneteenth. Observed every June 19, it commemorates the end of slavery in Texas announced on that day in 1865, being one of the last places in the country to continue the horrific practice. It has been increasingly growing as a day to celebrate AfricanAmerican heritage. While often not as nationally noted
as St. Patrick’s Day, these and other celebrations show just how varied and rich our state’s culture and history are. So many people came to make this state their home throughout the years, as well as those here before the existence of the United States. I think we should make an effort to publicize and grow some of these lesser-known days, as well as St. Patrick’s Day. It would serve as a great reminder of the melting pot that is our state and our nation. We continue to add new people as well through the United States’ long history of immigration. In today’s increasingly cosmopolitan world, this diversity is almost impossible to quantify. It is, I believe, one of the cores of America’s success. Our country attracts people who are drawn to the prospect of a better life for themselves and their families and driven to build successful careers and businesses. We enjoy freedoms and opportunities every day many in countries all over the world can only dream of. We should always remember to celebrate where we came from and know the story of how we got here. America is a special place, indeed, because here our differences and diversity constitute our strengths, not our weaknesses. Around the world, in some places, different groups split nations apart. Here, it’s part of what makes us Americans. That is something we should never forget and always be grateful for and celebrate. Connor Kockler is a Sauk Rapids-Rice High School student.
