After two days without sleep, Dean Fleigle sounded tired but hugely relieved when asked how his son Fleigle is doing. “He’s doing well,” he said. “Really well, considering. We thought he was going to die.” Fleigle’s son and only child is 16-year-old Daniel Fleigle, who fell from the old Sartell bridge while walking across it with five other youths on June 15. Fleigle had grabbed a live wire, which gave him a shock, causing him to fall 30 feet to the bridge’s platform.
The Sauk Rapids-Rice High School junior is now in intensive care at Hennepin County Medical Center, listed in critical condition but improving day by day, his father noted. “There have been so many prayers,” his father told the Newsleader in a June 20 interview. “The Lord is watching over him.” On the morning of the interview, Fleigle was at his home in Sauk Rapids Township, just south of Sartell. His wife, Shelly, was with her injured son as he was scheduled to have a magnetic-resonance imaging procedure. Fleigle, breathing a sigh of gratitude and relief, told about how days after the accident, a nurse had asked Daniel to wiggle his fingers, which he did. Teen • page 5

athletes here. You guys are all awesome, and it’s pretty cool to be recognized among you.” For the past two seasons, Minnerath has been a goalie with the Sartell-Sauk Rapids Storm’N Sabres Hockey team.

Sartell resident Lana Wolfe observed this pink-and-white Lady Slipper on a run in north Sartell. This beauty is rare as it may take up to 16 years to produce its first flowers. It can be found blooming now through early July. These plants may live for more than 50 years and can grow to be more than 4 feet tall. Since 1925, this rare wildflower has been protected by Minnesota state law; in fact, it is illegal to pick, uproot or unearth these flowers.

Sauk Rapids-Rice eighth-graders Alexandra Freihammer (left) and Lillian Kuhn (displaying a mock wound on her forearm) take turns practicing compression CPR on a mannequin at the inaugural Scrubs Camp held June 20-22. The camp was hosted by St. Cloud Technical & Community College and St. Cloud State University to introduce students to careers in health care.
Days filled with blood may not seem like fun, but for local middle school students interested in a career in health care, the inaugural Scrubs Camp hosted by St. Cloud Technical & Community College and St. Cloud State University on June 20-22 was just what the doctor ordered. After a morning check-in with breakfast and an orientation during which the 80 students put on professional scrubs, the learning began. The students’ first lessons were in moulage and mental health. Moulage is “the art of applying mock injuries for the purpose of simulating real-world experience
www.thenewsleaders.com
for emergency medical training,“ according to Moulage Sciences and Training’s website. “They make the doctors practice with fake blood,” said Cris Villagra, a middle school student from Sauk Rapids, pointing to a bloody gash on his right wrist. Students used brushes and sponges, modeling wax, synthetic blood gel and makeup in ranges of red, blue, burgundy and yellow to create realistic injuries on themselves and one another. By the end of the session, every participant bore a wound. Kelsi Linn had a nasty purple bruise on her right temple and cheek. Eric Liveringhouse sponged it on with makeup.

Scrubs from front page dents participated in Scrubs Camp because they plan to become doctors. Savannah Sarpan of Sauk Rapids had a nickel-sized, bleeding puncture wound on her left forearm. “I thought it would be a cool experience,” she said about why she
signed up for Scrubs Camp. She is considering becoming a surgeon and hopes to find out whether she likes the medical field well enough. In another session, students learned the signs of mental illness aren’t usually as obvious as a black eye or puncture wound. Jody Lyons, presenting for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said people suffering from depression may use humor to hide what’s going on inside them.

“I used to make fun of myself first, so nobody else would,” she said. “People thought it was just part of my personality.” Her message included the news that mental illnesses are treatable. “The first step would be therapy,” she said. “Sometimes, it’s working out (with a therapist) the problems that are going on. And sometimes it takes therapy plus medication.” After Lyons’ presentation, students asked thoughtful questions, including, “What if your parents won’t listen, or don’t believe you have a problem?” Lyons suggested it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor. Students also gathered in the SCTCC Commons where 40 CPR training mannequins were lined up on the floor. “Four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home,” said CPR instructor Renae Illies. “And 70 percent of people feel helpless when it happens at home because they don’t know how to do CPR or haven’t been trained recently. Unfortunately 32 percent of people (suffering cardiac arrest) don’t get the assistance they need.” Training middle school students in CPR is part of the Take Heart St. Cloud initiative. That program is working to improve cardiac survival rates through community education. To begin students’ training, the instructors gave a dramatic on-stage demonstration of a full CPR series. Then students had the opportunity to practice, multiple times, hands-only CPR (without breaths) on mannequins. Compression CPR, without mouth-to-mouth breathing, has “pretty much the same effect for the first five minutes as CPR with
breaths,” Illies said. Observing the 80 students at work, who were all still wearing the wounds they made in moulage class, Illies remarked: “Wow, a lot of you look like you need medical attention.” Students came to learn and to have fun at Scrubs Camp for a multitude of reasons. Some were there because their parents signed them up. Alexandra Freihammer, a Sauk Rapids-Rice eighth-grader, attended Scrubs camp because she already knows her plans for the future. “I did anatomy and physiology as an extracurricular and I loved it,” Freihammer said. “And then I knew I wanted to be a doctor.” Lillian Kuhn, who is also a Sauk Rapids-Rice student, attended Scrubs Camp to explore options. “I want to try new experiences and see what I want to do,” Kuhn said. “Because I really don’t know what I want to be yet.” Jennifer Potter, SCTCC’s Director of Outreach for Health and the Scrubs Camp administrator, said the main purpose of the camp is to provide a way for young people to explore career options. “There are middle-schoolers who want to start exploring health careers,” she said. “And we encourage that because college planning actually starts at the middle-school age.” The first morning was just the beginning of an eventful three-day exploration. After CPR class, the campers were treated to an American-style bento bowl, provided by Quarks American Bento restaurant of St. Cloud: quinoa, brown rice and white rice with chicken or steak, loaded up with fresh vegetables and topped with one of six sauces. An orientation in nutri-
Friday, June 24, 2016 tion-based health careers followed, and then SCTCC campus tours. On Tuesday and Wednesday, campers were exposed to the science of regenerative medicine and stem cells, a wellness boot camp and career opportunities in biomedicine, nursing and dentistry. They toured local health providers’ facilities – Good Shepherd Community in Sauk Rapids and CentraCare Health Plaza in St. Cloud. And they participated in health-care problemsolving, with real-life problems. Local health providers will give careful consideration to the best of the students’ proposed solutions, Potter said. “We could not pull this camp together unless we had these great community partners,” she said. HealthForce Minnesota started Scrubs Camp in 2008 to give those interested in health careers a chance to imagine themselves in college. This year, HealthForce expanded its program to include SCSU and SCTCC. But bringing Scrubs Camp to the community is expensive, so those local schools partnered with local agencies. St. Cloud School District 742, CentraCare Health, Good Shepherd Community, Rejuv Medical, Center for Diagnostic Imaging and Northway Dental Associates assisted with programming needs. Quarks American Bento, Lily’s Wings Burgers & Things and Coborn’s provided breakfasts and lunches for the campers. Through the partners’ generous contributions, every student’s tuition was lowered from $200 down to $100. In addition, 27 campers received scholarships. Potter said program providers hope some of the students who participated will become medical professionals serving the greater St. Cloud area.

His father said he is recovering surprisingly well after a very nasty 30-foot fall from the old Sartell bridge.
Teen from front page Then she asked him to wiggle his toes, which he managed to do. “When she moved her hands in front of his face, he followed them with his eyes,” Fleigle said. “So there appears to be no brain damage.” His son cannot talk yet, partly because there is a tube down his throat. The injuries are severe: head trauma, broken clavicle, broken ribs, punctured lung and a thoracic fracture of his back, which fortunately did not affect his spine. This is what happened, according to a police report and information on a Daniel Fleigle contribution website: Fleigle and five friends were
crossing the old Sartell bridge that spans the Mississippi River between the bank of the river behind River Boat Depot and the east side of the river near the former paper mill. At one point, Fleigle apparently felt he was about to fall and grabbed a wire that happened to be a live electric wire. The shock sent him falling 30 feet onto the bridge platform. One of the other boys immediately called 911, and the dispatcher gave instructions on how to perform CPR. Rescuers arrived and then proceeded to perform more CPR because Fleigle had gone into cardiac arrest. After several attempts, a pulse could be felt again. Fleigle described his son as a bright kid who is very Christian. However, like most teenagers, he sometimes would do something risky, believing himself indestructible.
“I always gave him advice never to follow other kids if they’re doing something wrong,” Fleigle said. “But kids influence one another. I’ve warned him never to go on that bridge. But sometimes it’s ‘monkey see, monkey do.’ They have to learn from their mistakes.” Daniel played football and baseball in high school. He enjoys the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. Daniel’s aunt has started a webpage where people can contribute to the Fleigles to defray medical-related costs. To view the site and to contribute, go to www.gofundme. com/2artv94c.

Our View
Better safe than sorry, so heed bad-weather warnings With the official start of summer on June 20, it’s a good time to review the importance of heeding bad weather conditions and warnings. On Sunday night, there were tornado warnings issued in parts of Stearns, Benton and Sherburne counties, and tornado-warning sirens blared loudly in many cities. Because tornadoes are fairly rare in Minnesota, unlike in the “Tornado Alley” states like Texas and Oklahoma, it’s easy for us Minnesotans to forget they can and do happen, and we must be prepared for their possibility. A “Tornado Watch” is when the weather forecasters advise people that conditions are favorable for the possible formation of tornadic weather. A “Tornado Warning” is broadcast, often with a wailing siren, that a tornado or rotational cloud formation has been sighted somewhere in the general area and that people should seek shelter immediately. When a tornado warning is issued, people should not dawdle and wait around, looking up at the sky to try to see a funnel cloud. They should take shelter, preferably in the middle room of a basement or in the innermost room of a house, such as a small bathroom toward the center of the house. June through August are the most likely tornado months in Minnesota, although they can occur as early as March and as late as November. The largest tornado outbreak in Minnesota was June 17, 2010, when 48 funnel clouds were spotted in clusters. From 1950 to 2012, there were 1,721 tornadoes reported in Minnesota, 99 tornado-related deaths and 1,981 injuries. The worst tornado disaster occurred in the St. Cloud-Sauk Rapids-Rice areas when 72 people died, including members of a wedding party in rural Rice, including the groom who had just said his vows. The date was the afternoon of April 14, 1886. The second deadliest outbreak was in the Fergus Falls area on the afternoon of June 22, 1919 when 57 people were killed and 200 injured. In more recent times, better weather forecasting and warnings have prevented deaths, with only about one or two fatalities per year in the state. But – this bears repeating – people must learn to heed the warnings and take immediate shelter. And not to forget, there are other weather dangers besides tornadoes. Strong straight-line winds can be devastating, injuring or killing people with debris driven by the fierce winds, and demolishing roofs and, in some cases, entire homes, especially mobile homes. Another danger is large hail that can cause much damage and even serious injury. Yet another cause for concern is lightning. People should always go inside a house or other protected structure when the skies are streaked by lightning. One should never seek shelter under a tree in a bad lightning storm. Lightning often “seeks” the highest thing in a landscape, such as trees, and there have been instances of lightning splitting trees wide open, and injuring or killing people who’d run under the tree for shelter. That is what killed several people on a golf course in the Twin Cities some years ago. Parents should gather children together and impress upon them what to do when bad weather approaches. They must not dawdle and delay but come directly home from wherever they are or seek shelter in their friends’ homes or other shelters if a storm strikes when they are playing in parks, ballfields or wherever. Let us be safe this summer; let’s heed the weather warnings; let’s seek shelter with a healthy bettersafe-than-sorry attitude.

Opinion Stop lamebrain excuses against gun laws (Note: This column was written before a June 19 deadline, so the outcome of a possible congressional vote on gun-safety proposals was not known yet. The vote was expected to happen as early as June 20.) The excuses are growing lamer by the day for not passing laws regulating the sale and access to certain kinds of guns. It’s an established fact the National Rifle Association owns the U.S. Congress lock, stock and barrel, and it calls all the shots any time the subject of gun safety comes up. And that subject has come up a lot lately, what with the horrifying frequency of massacres by vile haters. An explosive combination of factors causes these haters to go berserk and slaughter people: mental illness, especially a mania to seek revenge because of perceived slights or the hater’s own inadequacies; sick propaganda by hate groups that helps the mentally-ill individual feel empowered and/or connected to a “higher” cause; and last but not least, ready access to guns – especially assault-type weapons. Time and again, after every massacre, good senators and representatives try to pass gun-safety laws and laws either restricting access to, or outright bans on, assault-type guns. And time and again, their efforts are defeated by their colleagues’ slavish adherence to the powers of the NRA. For decades, the NRA leaders have perpetrated and nurtured excuses that too many people adopt in knee-jerk fashion. But first, a few good words about the NRA: Its members are overwhelmingly good people who promote gun education, gunsafety programs, and responsible hunting and gun recreation. What’s more, most of its members are strong advocates of commonsense gun legislation. It’s the national NRA leadership that’s the problem because just as they hold Congress hostage to their demands, NRA’s top leaders for years have played lackey to the gun manufactur-
Dennis Dalman Editor ers’ lobby. The tail wagging the dog. Here are some of the lamebrain excuses against gun legislation, as promulgated in the Gospel of Wayne LaPierre, the current head honcho/propagandist of the NRA: • If they pass any kind of gun-control legislation, it will become a slippery slope and next thing you know, they’ll be at our doors demanding to take away our hunting guns. • Banning or denying access to certain kinds of weapons won’t do a bit of good. The haters will steal the guns, or use knives or make homemade explosives. • The Second Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms, is sacred. It allows us to have all the guns we want, and passing even one restriction to that amendment is therefore unconstitutional. • If they pass restrictions on gun access, how will we be able to protect ourselves? The trouble with those excuses is that none of them is true. Yes, haters have used knives and bombs, but does that mean passing restrictions on assault weapons is therefore futile? Thankfully, polls indicate those excuses are wearing very thin, indeed. Ninetypercent of Americans want to expand background checks and are in favor of passing legislation that would limit and/ or ban war-like assault weapons and any guns that hold multiple-bullet clips. Thank goodness for the political courage of Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut who staged a 15-hour filibuster last week to force Republican Party leaders to allow votes on two proposed gun measures. One measure would forbid people whose
names are on the government’s terrorist watch list from obtaining gun licenses. Another would expand background checks at gun shows and for Internet sales. Both measures are not only eminently reasonable; they are long overdue. Murphy ended his marathon filibuster by referring to the heartbreaking story of Dylan Hockley and Ann-Marie Murphy. Dylan was a dimpled, blue-eyed sweetheart to everyone who knew him, including teaching aide Mrs. Murphy, who helped him deal with his autism at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. We all know all too well what happened there one day. A deranged gunman barged into the school and began firing his assault rifle with its clip of 30 bullets. Later, officials found Dylan and Mrs. Murphy dead. She had wrapped her loving arms around him just seconds before the crazed killer shot them. They were two of the 26 dead – 23 of them little boys and girls. In his filibuster speech, Sen. Murphy praised Mrs. Murphy’s fearlessness, her fierce love while staring down a barrel and knowing she would die within seconds. Murphy ended his long talk by challenging his Senate colleagues to demonstrate with legislation that political courage: “If Anne Marie Murphy could do that,” the senator said, “what can you do to make sure Orlando or Sandy Hook never, ever happens again?” It’s a question we should all ask ourselves. We should remind ourselves even if gun legislation cannot prevent massacres (of course it can’t completely), that is no excuse to do absolutely nothing. And yes, let’s remember always that assault-type weapons and instant access to them is a big factor in just about every massacre. Most of all, let’s remember Dylan Hockley and Mrs. Murphy when we demand our political leaders pass the proposed gun legislation. Enough excuses.
Internet bubble and what you may be missing The Internet is a wonderful thing. It’s greatly expanded the amount of information the everyday American has access to. A brain-twisting problem that once required a trip to the library now is easily solved with the help of a smartphone, computer or tablet. However, have you ever noticed when you type one thing into a search engine, searching for travel deals or looking up a new lawn mower, eerily similar advertisements and links begin to appear? This is how these companies make money. Recording your search history and selling it to advertisers helps to market more efficiently. On this note, looking at news articles online works in the same way Based on what sites you have visited, search results and news aggregators recommend stories based on what you have read before. This is all well and good until you consider you may have read your news on a site that leans one way or another on the political spectrum. The process will continue until your Internet bubble is created. What is an Internet bubble, you may ask? Well, to put it simply, an Internet bubble is the condition in which the search engines have you figured out to the point where when you search for news or opinion, you will never encounter anything that challenges your viewpoint. If you have been reading a large number of left- or right-wing sites, it’s very unlikely one with a contrary opinion to these will ever appear in your search results or be recommended
Connor Kockler Guest Writer to you by a news aggregator. Make no mistake, it isn’t wrong to find a good place to share views with people who think the same way as you. The problem, though, is being stuck in an Internet bubble can actually reduce the amount of information you are taking in. You are also more likely to encounter inherent bias in reporting. I once found a website that showed images of a conservative news feed and a liberal news feed side by side. These feeds had stories about the same topics. The difference was shocking. Not only did the opposing sides each have a completely different take on the issues, they also used different sources and quoted different people to prove their points. This illustrates the problem. Sites with one viewpoint or another may downplay or completely omit information that doesn’t help them prove the point they are making in the article. If you are stuck in an Internet bubble, you may only be getting half the story. Being a person who has explored both sides of the political Internet, I find the best way to sort through the biases is to look for similarities. If the conservative and liberal sites both say
something, it’s safe to assume it’s true. If there are different figures for the same point, say the economy or crime numbers, I tend to take an average or check the leanings of the contributing organization. But it’s only possible to break out of your Internet bubble and access both sides of the political Internet if you know where to look. The best way I have found to do this is to find a group of conservative sites, a group of liberal sites and some more moderate sites. Save these in your bookmarks or write them down, and take a look at one of each before you make up your mind on something. A great place to start is www. realclearpolitics.com. This site hosts web articles from many differing sites across the political spectrum and will help you to build a list of sites you like. Just like getting a second opinion, breaking out of your Internet bubble can help you see more of the world. When we get stuck in information that merely confirms our beliefs, it doesn’t challenge us to defend them, which makes for terrible debates in the classroom and at the dinner table. An informed society is a strong and prosperous society. We just need to get outside of our bubbles and give multiple viewpoints a look. Connor Kockler is a student at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School.
