Bicycling enthusiasts who ride the Lake Wobegon Regional Trail now have more options to repair their bikes if they break down on the trail. The Lake Wobegon Trails Association recently teamed up with local Lions clubs and private donors to install Fixit bike repair stations in seven towns on the trail. They were installed in St. Joseph, Avon, Albany, Freeport, Melrose, Sauk Centre and Holdingford. Possible repair stations are also being considered for West Union and/or Osakis, Waite Park and Bowlus. Lake Wobegon Trail Association President Jan Lasar said the organization felt adding repair stations at each trailhead would
send a clear message to local and out-of-town bicyclists that they want people to come here, ride the trail and have all the tools needed to make the visit more pleasant. The repair stations are installed either right at the trailheads or in a very conspicuous place on the trail. Each repair station is made of bright-yellow heavy-duty steel. A tube about five feet tall, which is open in the front, contains repair tools such as screw drivers, wrenches and tire levers that hang from cables. Two parallel arms open out at a 90-degree angle toward the front, which can be used to hang a bike by the seat post while a rider works on it. A heavy-duty tire pump is mounted on the side of the unit. Sartell residents Lisa and Steve Trail • page 2

Backpacks, school supplies needed now by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
In the heat of July, most people are probably not thinking yet about school days, but that subject is very much on the minds of those who work at the Salvation Army and Shopko stores. A partnership has been formed between Shopko and the Salvation Army to collect
school-supply items for children in need who will start school this September. One reason the school-supplies collection started so early this year is because Catholic Charities decided – at least for this year – to discontinue its school-supplies program. That means the Salvation Army hopes to collect enough school supplies for up to 1,500 children in the area, many of whom are homeless
or in families deeply hurting financially. And to ensure the SA reaches its goal, it started its collection drive early – in July. For many years, both the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities collected and distributed school supplies. Needed are backpacks (new or gently used), notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, pens, markers, crayons, glue and folders.
The school-items drive, dubbed “Tools for Schools,” began officially July 9 and will run through Aug. 11. During that time, people can shop for school items at the two Shopko stores in St. Cloud and put them in collection bins in the stores. Shopkos are located at 501 Hwy. 10 in East St. Cloud (just west of the east-side Cash Wise Foods store) and at 4161 Supplies • page 5

Christie Hamak teaches yoga and Pilates in Sartell. After reading a story about a young College of St. Benedict student who teaches meditation, Hamak contacted the woman, who agreed to set up a meditation session for Hamak’s yoga and Pilates students. The session was a huge success for all involved.
One day in April, Christie Hamak of Sartell picked up an issue of the Sartell-St. Stephen Newsleader from a stack of papers she’d been meaning to read. Instantly, her attention was grabbed by a story about a young woman who has been teaching meditation. Hamak read the feature story, as all kinds of bells and whistles went off in her head. Everything just seemed to click, so much so that Hamak decided to email the woman, Kateri Heymans, a student at the College of St. Benedict.

Hamak is a teacher of yoga at Stay Fit in Sartell. She also teaches Pilates at her home. Hamak grew up loving to teach dance, even as a high-school student in Becker. While earning an education degree at CSB, she pursued her love of dance. Later, while living in Rice, she continued teaching dance and Pilates in her studio in Big Lake. “That story in the Newsleader was exactly what I needed to read at that moment,” she recalled. “When doing yoga, we do some meditation, but I just felt this woman could enhance yoga with her meditation insights.” Yoga • page 5

Trail from front page Tax were recently happy to use the tire pump at the St. Joseph location. The two said they ride the trails a few times each month during the summer. Lisa is a first-grade teacher at Oak Ridge Elementary School in Sartell, and Steve is a differ-
entiation specialist at Westwood Elementary School in St. Cloud. The Fixit stations were purchased from Dero in Fridley and cost about $1,100 each, including the pump. The St. Joseph Y2K Lions offered to pay for the entire unit located at the St. Joseph trailhead. The trails’ association had budgeted to pay up to half of each unit. “We helped with setting up
the installation of the unit and the pouring of a concrete slab, which was done by the city’s park department, and we are also very thankful for that,” Lasar said. The association plans to attach sponsorship decals on the units. “The association’s job is to promote and enhance the Lake Wobegon Trail and see it extended into Waite Park,” Lasar said. “This is our first tangible

Waytashek named housing manager of Arlington Place by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
Morgan Waytashek said her heart has found a home in her new position as housing manager of Arlington Place Assisted Living in St. Joseph. She said after working in various areas of health care, she believes her passion lies in working with the elderly population and assisted-living facilities. “Through community involvement and a team approach, I am committed to leading Arlington Place toward maximum quality of life for our residents,” Waytashek said. “I thank all involved community members and staff for being part of that team approach.” Arlington Place in St. Joseph is owned by Partners in Senior Living Options, based out of Royalton. Waytashek worked as a home-health aide in two of the Partners Senior Living Options assisted-living facilities before graduating from Pierz Healy High School and during college. When she graduated from high school, she received a scholarship from Partners Senior Living Options to pursue her passion of caring for the older adult population as an occupational therapy assistant practitioner. During her occupational-therapy studies, she held a direct-support professional position in two group home settings (at Mains’L Services, a com-
pany not owned by Partners in Senior Living) where she gained experience in mental health, house scheduling and just simply how to help others feel comfortable in their own home. Waytashek completed many of her college classes during high school and finished them at Winona State University. She completed her occupational-therapy assistant degree at Anoka Technical College. After becoming a licensed occupational therapy practitioner, Waytashek traveled the United States for about a year working in multiple health-care settings, such as skilled nursing, transitional care, sub-acute care and home care. Places she worked include Hull, Iowa; Billings, Mont.; Fountain, Colo.; and Eugene, Ore. She said although traveling the United States for work was an educational experience, her heart was set on an assisted-living environment because of the humor, maintained dignity and integrity between the staff and residents. Waytashek said she missed being part of a team that uses humor and integrity toward its customers. She said Partners Senior Living Options, which owns 10 assisted-living facilities in Minnesota, holds those qualities (humor, integrity) as its mission in its buildings and she wanted to be a part of that.

Discs are sorted by manufacturer and model and disc information is readily available to make choices easy. Customers can also make requests for discs and other equipment. Gorres said Hyzer Zone will fill a void in the area where people currently travel 10 or more miles for a decent discgolf selection.

Gorres will post up-todate information at Hyzer Zone. Gorres chose the name Hyzer Zone because a Hyzer is a throw that’s designed to take advantage of the natural angle of the disc and being in the “zone” implies increased focus
and attention, which allows for higher levels of performance. “My two favorite things after my family and friends are disc golf and pizza, “ he said. “Disc golf has been a part of my life for more than 20 years. I look forward to adding another aspect to this awesome sport.” Gorres has been playing disc golf for more than 25 years. He’s also a current board member of the St. Cloud Disc Golf Club.

near Big Fish Lake. The caller reported a 40-year-old adult male, identified as Chad Kraemer, had fallen from a sliding glass door to the concrete patio below, a distance of 10-12 feet. Family members reported Kraemer went to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight and was found on the patio just prior to the call. The exact time of the fall is unknown. The sliding glass door is a “deck door” type slider. There is not a deck or elevated patio associated with this door. There was no barrier preventing the use of the door. The Cold Spring Fire Department Res-
cue Squad responded along with Gold Cross Ambulance. This was a traumatic call for the fire department as Kraemer was a long-time member of the Cold Spring Fire Department. Efforts were made on scene to treat the injuries Kraemer sustained from the fall. North Air Ambulance helicopter was also dispatched to the scene. Despite the efforts of the first responders, Kraemer succumbed to the injuries he sustained and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office extends its deepest condolences to the Kraemer family along with our fellow first-responders with the Cold Spring Fire Department on the tragic loss of their firefighter and friend.

Yoga from front page Hamak teaches an hourlong yoga class, and during its first five minutes participants use a form of meditation to try to calm their minds. However, Hamak has always thought meditation techniques could be extended throughout yoga instruction, which is why the news story about Heymans piqued her curiosity so much. Hamak and Heymans hit it off from the get-go. After further emails and phone conversations, Hamak asked Heymans if she’d be willing to do a meditation seminar if Hamak could roust up some willing students. Heymans was gung-ho about the chance. So, at the end of April, Heymans visited Stay Fit to give her meditation seminar to the 10 students gathered. Some of those students had told Hamak they weren’t sure they could afford the three-hour class. When Hamak conveyed that informa-
tion to Heymans, she was quick to say, not to worry, they can take the seminar for free. On the day of the seminar, nine participants attended. There were seven females and two males, ranging in age from 13 to close to 60, including a woman in her 50s battling stage-4 colon cancer. That woman later said she was amazed by Heymans and by all of the wisdom she communicated for being such a young woman. Just before the seminar started, a series of glitches began to happen – technical things. Heymans, however, dealt with the setbacks coolly, calmly without once getting frazzled. “That in itself was a lesson – how she handled that,” Hamak said. “It was as if she were doing her technique in practice right before our eyes. She was (indirectly) showing how to let go of craziness, to come back to the present and start over.” In her teaching, Heymans showed participants how to use key phrases repeated over
and over (sometimes known as “mantras”) to trigger the meditative quiet and to get one’s focus from the mind to the heart. “It really works,” Hamak said. “I now even use meditation phrases while I’m busy, and they help me to be grounded. I’ve also taught one of my boys – a fifth-grader – how to use them, and they help him, too. The phrases are short, simple statements but with profound meanings.” Heymans, who studied a form of meditation known as ISHA in Mexico and in Uruguay, always does follow-ups with her clients. She has also taught her methods via Skype with others throughout the world, creating a network of meditation. Heymans described the meditation technique this way: There are two requirements to successful ISHA meditation. One is to learn to become comfortable. The other, once the state of comfort has been achieved, is to let go and not try to control one’s mind. Certain repeated phrases

bring about feelings of gratitude and appreciation for the present moment. With the mind free of barbs and clutter, feelings of unity and joy and unconditional love seep into mind and body.

Items can also be delivered to the Salvation Army at 400 Hwy. 10 S. in St. Cloud during its business hours – 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. “Some people buy a backpack and fill it with supplies, then bring it to us,” said Shannon Smithers, volunteer and events coordinator for the St. Cloud Area Salvation Army. “Other people just buy a lot of school items to donate.” Volunteers at the Salvation Army put all school supplies into backpacks so, ideally, each child will receive a backpack filled with all school supplies needed. That is why the Salvation Army is requesting new or gently used backpacks – so each child can get one.

What’s the hurry? Is it worth your life? Slow down! What’s the hurry? Speed kills! That’s the advice of the Minnesota State Patrol and other law-enforcement personnel during an intense effort by the Patrol to stop and ticket speeders across the state. The effort will continue through July 23. Why are so many people in such a hurry to get where they’re going that they would risk their own lives, their loved ones’ lives and the lives of others? That question is a sad one that begs an answer. One in five road fatalities in Minnesota is the result of speeding. Last year, 92 people died in speed-related crashes in the state. That was an 18-percent increase from the 78 speed-related deaths in 2015. The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is typically the most dangerous for speed-related crashes, a period that is known as “The 100 Deadliest Days” on the road. Speeding ranks second behind drunk driving as a leading cause of roadway deaths in Minnesota and just ahead of distracted driving, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Combine those three lamentable factors – speeding, drinking, distracted driving (especially texting) – and it’s a recipe for catastrophe. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says one-third of all fatal automobile crashes involve drivers who are speeding. The trouble with speeding, as it is with all forms of irresponsible driving, is most people think injuries and death will never happen to them. The grim statistics prove otherwise, and many a confident speeder is now crippled or gone permanently – never having arrived at that destination they were in such a hurry to get to. Anybody who has driven on Hwy. 10 in and near the St. Cloud area knows how dangerous speeding can be, especially on busy summer weekends. Some of the motorists drive as fast as 80 mph, and some of them honk angrily or give rude gestures as they swerve from lane to lane around law-abiding, speed-limit-obeying drivers. Many deaths on Hwy. 10 have been attributed to speeders who act as if that highway is an extension of the Brainerd Speedway. Speeding is compounded by what is often called the “fudge factor.” Many motorists “fudge” in the speed limit by driving 5 mph (or even more) over the posted speed. Then the monkey see/monkey do factor kicks in, with some motorists accelerating until they’re going just as fast as the speeders – 70, 80 mph or worse. Thus, a highway becomes a speedway. A study by the American Automobile Association found 45 percent of motorists ages 35 to 55 typically drive 15 miles over the posted speed limit on a freeway – in other words 70 to 85 mph. Those are alarming statistics. A speeding ticket can cost $110 or more, depending on court costs, for driving 10 miles faster than the posted speed. Fines double for those doing 20 mph or more over the limit. Those caught breaking the law in a work zone will get a minimum fine of $300. Motorists caught going more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months. The speeding limits and the ticket costs are there for a reason: as reminders that Speed Kills! If only more people would heed those life-saving warnings. So . . . slow down! Live!

Opinion Voting fraud an excuse to limit voters Forty-four states are refusing a federal commission’s request to turn over personal information for a cross-check data system to fight voter fraud. The request is larded with laughable ironies, but they’re not funny at all when one considers the implications of this data-gathering attempt. The following are some of the ironies that show how this commission is as bogus as the Senate health-care proposal: Irony Number 1: The Bipartisan Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was initiated May 11 via executive order by President Donald Trump. Remember, he’s the one who insisted, with not a scintilla of evidence, that anywhere from 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton in the last election. Those voters, he expects us to believe, “stole” the popular vote from him. Irony Number 2: Vice President Mike Pence is the titular head of the commission. Its real mover-and-shaker is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, known for his aggressive support for voter suppression in the guise of “election integrity.” Kobach is the one who requested states to turn over personal information that includes all names, addresses, birth dates, military status, political affiliations, voting histories and last four digits of Social Security numbers. He might as well have added, for good measure, color of underwear. Irony Number 3: Oops! What’s good for the goose is not always good for the gander. Kobach said he cannot comply with his own request to turn over Kansas’s resident’s Social Security numbers because they are not publicly available under Kansas law. Tsk, tsk.
Dennis Dalman Editor Irony Number 4: There is no widespread voter fraud – thus no rationale for this commission or its requests. And how’s this for an irony wrapped in an irony? In Kansas, Kobach scored only nine voting-fraud convictions since 2014. Irony Number 5: The data requested by Kobach will be stored in a data bank in – of all places – the White House. There, in-house workers (foxes in a chicken coop) will sift through it, seeking rampant fraud, looking for dead people, ordering the purging of names from voting rolls. Irony Number 6: While the commission is in hot pursuit of Phantom Fraud, Trump and others will be busily denying or underplaying Russia’s interference in the last election. Foreign cyber-meddling is an infinitely more dangerous threat to free-and-fair elections – the very foundation of our democracy – than is alleged voter fraud. The cross-checking of names in a massive voting data base is wildly unreliable, causing the names of hundreds of thousands of prospective voters to be purged from the rolls. That means eligible voters will be denied the right to vote, and that’s already happened – is happening. North Carolina and Wisconsin – to name two of the worst – are notorious for voting-suppression efforts of every sort.
Kobach, to support his claim of thousands of dead people voting, used the name of one dead Kansas man he said voted. A reporter later found that man in his yard, mowing his lawn. The man cracked a joke about how if he’s dead and in heaven, how come he’s having to do yardwork? Turns out, the lawnmowing man, very much alive, did indeed vote. His deceased father, with the same name, didn’t. A Brennan Center For Justice report found 31 cases of non-citizen voters nationwide in the last election. It’s good that voting integrity is a priority. What’s not good are commissions like this, created for a non-problem and stacked with voter-suppression activists. Unless suppression laws and blatantly skewed gerrymandering schemes are overturned by courts (many have been stricken, thank goodness), the next election will be riddled with distrust and, once again, Americans’ faith in our electoral process will have been damaged, just as the Russian meddlers had hoped – are hoping. Another irony: A U.S. House committee recently voted to defund the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an already underfunded, understaffed agency charged with certifying the security of voting machines – an ongoing task that is absolutely crucial to the integrity of the voting process. And here is the final irony: What should have been created via a Trump executive order is a Bipartisan Commission to Insure Election Integrity Against Attacks Foreign and Domestic (and the latter could include the voting-suppressors on this so-called Integrity Commission).

Wedding dreams come true for one young couple Rajahna & Jacob Scherbing, St. Cloud A wedding is an event that little girls dream of their whole lives. Without a doubt, my wedding day met and exceeded all of my expectations. My husband Jacob and I could not have asked for a better day, June 17. We would like to thank the following individuals and businesses in our community who made our dreams come true. Floral Arts of St. Joseph made the most beautiful arrangement of flowers for our decorations, bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. Weddings & More of St. Joseph handmade a very unique and personalized Spiderman garter I could not have gotten anywhere else. My husband loved it! Local musician Michael Shynes gave our guests
an unforgettable social-hour performance and sang our first couple dance songs that brought everyone to tears. Local decorator Deb Bialke did a great job with our reception decorations. Marnanteli’s of Sartell provided our delicious late-night pizza that all our guests loved. Music on Demand of Sartell played an amazing DJ set list that had our guests dancing all night. Cold Spring Bakery baked up our favorite kinds of cake and cheesecake. They were so beautiful they doubled as centerpieces. Sara Underhill of Rice created a gorgeous henna design for myself to tie in my cultural elements. AJHeckman Photography took amazing photos that really captured our wedding. Rapids Alterations of Sauk Rapids did a wonderful job with my final
fittings to make my dress look absolutely stunning. Mantra Salon of St. Cloud had myself and the girls looking fabulous the day of the wedding. Our hair and nails were gorgeous. Alyssa Neubarth (Mary Kay consultant) of St. Cloud did a wonderful job on the makeup. Last but not least, Molitor’s Quarry of Sauk Rapids was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was beautiful from start to finish; the staff was amazing; and Tammy Molitor was exceptional to work with. I have nothing but great things to say about our wedding day. We are blessed for the support and love we received from not only our family and friends but also from the wonderful vendors mentioned.
Words do not matter to Trump so what’s said one day can be discarded the next Kent Nelson, Sartell At the recent G-20 Summit, Trump said the United States would support NATO., but European Union President Tusk responded, “ . . . the real question is whether it was a one-time incident or a new policy” to which Trump said, “. . . words are easy, but it’s actions that matter.” In her recent novel, Gilead, Marilynne Robinson describes a deceptive, unsavory and lying character: “He treats words as if they were actions. He doesn’t listen to the meaning of words, the way other people do. He just decides whether they are hostile, and how hostile they are. He decides whether they threaten him or injure him, and he reacts at that level . . . “
Back to Donald. There is no reality in his concepts or words. Examples: 1. Lock her up (won’t happen); 2. more people at my inauguration than at Obama’s (not true); 3. I would have won the popular vote if 3 million illegals hadn’t voted (won’t be proved despite the committee); 4. Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower (total lie); 5. Russia colluded in the election (fake news); 6. Republicans elected in special elections because they love me (no, they don’t); 7. I’ll release my tax returns after the election (don’t hold your breath); 8. I’ll build the wall and Mexico will pay (tee-hee); 9. sexual harassment of women (locker-room talk); 10. Ted Cruz’s father conspired with Oswald to kill Kennedy; they were together in a National Enquirer photo (real whop-
per); 11. National Enquirer is credible and needs to be taken seriously (Trump believes if it’s sold in grocery stores to the general public, it has to be relevant and its stories worth quoting and repeating); 12. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and more all report fake news (if Trump thinks so, it must be true); 12. the only credible news station and news reporter is Fox and Sean Hannity (if Trump thinks so, this also must be true). Chris Uhlmann, political editor for Australian Broadcasting, said this of Trump after the G-20 Summit: “To be constantly talking and talked about is all that really matters, and there is no value placed on the meaning of words, so what’s said one day can be discarded the next.” SAD!
