Red Cross announces blood-shortage emergency

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.

Summer is here and so are the summer vegetables. You can now find beans, beets, zucchini, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and much more. Don’t forget about the meats, eggs, breads and treats available year-round. Join us on Mondays and Thursdays from 3-630 p.m. at 101 Seventh St. N. (Hardware Hank parking lot).

The American Red Cross has issued another emergency call for blood and platelet donations – urgently needed because donations during the past two months were down dramatically – 61,000 donations fewer than average. A blood drive will be held noon-6 p.m. Monday July 31 at the American Legion, 17 Second Ave. N., Waite Park. Call 320-3634664 to schedule an appointment or register online. Walk-ins welcome.

School-road project gets another green light by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com

The Sartell City Council gave a unanimous go-ahead at a July 10 public hearing for designs and preparations of the Pinecone School-Road Project. A feasibility study for the estimated $6.1-million project un-

dertaken by Short Elliott Hendrickson had been presented to the council at its June 12 meeting by Jon Halter, employee of SEH and Sartell city engineer. Halter also gave the designplans presentation to the council at the July 10 meeting. There are 23 residents who live along or near that northern

part of Pinecone Road, and they will be assessed for about onesixth the cost of the project. The rest will be paid for by the city with half-cent regional sales-tax revenue. The Pinecone reconstruction plan is crucial to the construction of a new high school for efficient traffic flow and safety

for motorists, students and pedestrians. The study was done with safety factors uppermost in mind. The new high school, authorized by voters last year, will be built near Oak Ridge Elementary School. There will be changes made to Pinecone Road from 15th Project • page 7

Zeke’s talents make up for his incompetence by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com

Zeke has a hunter’s instinct but no skills to match, and he has never caught even a squirrel, but it’s not for lack of trying. One time, chasing a squirrel, he almost knocked over a mailman. Poor Zeke. Even his owner, Lee Hart of Sartell, calls him “completely incompetent, as bumbling as Elmer Fudd.” But no matter. Aside from his hunting clutziness, Zeke, who is a springer spaniel mix, has more talents than other dogs have ticks and fleas. In fact, he can hunt – in his own way – by wheedling for food. And what’s his favorite? “Anything!” Hart said. “Everything! When there’s food around he just goes photo by Dennis Dalman Lee Hart and Zeke are the best of buddies. Zeke, nuts.” And when it comes to food, Zeke now 10, is a rescued dog from the Tri-County Humane Society and possesses many unusual talents. is a masterful actor. He knows exactly

how to look sad, how to beg and whimper, how to fake hunger, how to drool profusely, how to look pitifully sad and neglected, how to give an endof-the-world look. It usually works. While walking in Sartell’s Northside Park with Hart and his wife, Susan, poor hungry pitiful Zeke has conned many a hot dog or tasty morsel from picnickers whose hearts melted at his begging antics. Though loaded with talents, Zeke is riddled with phobias. He’s afraid of other animals, especially cats. The feline teasers in the neighborhood know it, and so they purposely aggravate that wuss of a dog. When they see him out for a walk, they’ll often arch their backs, stick their tails up and hiss in his direction. Cowering Zeke freaks out and runs trembling to hide behind his master. Zeke is afraid to ride in the car. He Zeke • page 4

LEGAL NOTICES CITY OF SARTELL Ordinance No. 2017-10ORD AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REPLACING TITLE 10, CHAPTER 7, ARTICLES A AND B OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE I1 AND I2 ZONING DISTRICTS

The following official summary of the ordinance referred to has been approved by the City Council as clearly informing the public of the intent and effect of the amendments. contributed photo

These are typical school supplies that will be placed in backpacks by the Salvation Army for children starting or returning to school this fall.

Supplies from front page 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 Second St. S. (across from the west Cash Wise Foods store). 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. “In previous years, the Salvation Army would give school supplies to about 400 to 500 children,” Smithers said. “This year, there will be between 1,000 and 1,500 children who will need them.” People can also make monetary donations online at salvationarmynorth.org. Or they can send a check to Salvation Army, Tools for Schools, 400 Hwy. 10 S., St. Cloud, Minn. 56304. For more information, call Smithers at the St. Cloud Salvation Army at 320-252-4552.

Zeke from front page is afraid of loud sounds, especially gun-like sounds. During Fourth of July weekends, when fireworks are crackling near and far, the Harts have to give Zeke a doggie form of Prozac to calm him down. “If he hears so much as a firecracker, he goes running to hide under a bed,” Hart said. Oddly enough though, Zeke, unlike most dogs, is not afraid of the mailman or UPS deliverers or FedEx employees. He’s made friends with them in split

seconds, and when he sees them, he wags his tail and barks with joy. “That’s the only time Zeke barks,” Hart said. “He barks only when he’s happy.” One day, a FedEx man – a new one – was delivering a package to the Hart home. At just that moment, Zeke saw a squirrel standing behind the delivery man. Zeke, like a streak of canine lightning, shot from the front door. The FedEx man froze in panic and fear. And then, in a blink, Zeke dashed right between the man’s legs in a useless beeline pursuit of the squirrel. “He doesn’t seem to know

that squirrels don’t run in a straight line,” Hart said. “Zeke runs at full blast in a straight line even after the squirrel takes a right angle.” It’s yet another example of poor Zeke’s “Elmer-Fudd” incompetence. And now, it’s time to praise Zeke. He is, Hart said, the most loving and friendly pooch imaginable. He walks with Lee and Susan always without a leash and will not leave their sides. He is fond of people – especially food-bearers – and wouldn’t think of biting anybody or anything, except food. He barks only when he’s happy. When he’s trying to express his other wants or moods, he makes a delightful series of sounds that are half dog/half human. “He makes the darnedest sounds,” Hart said. “He mutters, groans, squeaks, even giggles. And the only time he barks is when he means ‘Hello!’” Many people in Sartell may already know Zeke without knowing it. He is the sweet, adorable black-and-white dog that waits with infinite patience right outside the doors of Sartell Coborn’s in north Sartell. Many customers pause and smile at

Zeke or say hello. When Lee takes him shopping there, Zeke always sits outside, his intense gaze fixated upon the doors, waiting for them to open, for his master to finish shopping so they can walk happily back home.

Three-chance dog

Zeke, now about 10 years old, is a rescued dog, a three-chance dog. About 11 years ago, Lee and Susan Hart and their son David, then 10, worked occasionally as volunteers at the St. Cloud TriCounty Humane Society. “We saw a lot of dogs there, of course, but that one – the one named Zeke – just struck us as if he’d make a good pet. He had such a sorrowful look, and he didn’t ever bark.” Zeke had already had two chances, having been adopted out twice by the humane society, but both times his new owners reluctantly brought him back for one reason or another. The Harts made up their minds to adopt him. They have not only not regretted it, they are extremely happy with their loyal and loving Zeke. “David is now 22 and living

away from home, so we often say Zeke is our only child,” Hart said. Hart, now retired, was an electrical engineer who worked with many famous companies, among them Kodak, Honeywell and Robert Shaw Controls. Dr. Susan Hart is an endocrinologist for CentraCare. Son David is a security guard who is contracted out to various places, currently at the hospital in Staples. The Harts have lived in Sartell since 1998, the last 10 of them with an oddball pooch that can best be described – in a word – as “wonderful.” Lee Hart, who dubs himself “an amateur poet,” penned a song about Zeke entitled “Zeke the Streak.” It was inspired somewhat by the old comical-hit song “The Streak” by Ray Stevens. The following is one of its three refrains: “Here he comes . . . there he goes. He’s just following his nose. That’s why we call him the Zeke. Fastest thing on four feet. If there’s food to be had, It will drive him half mad To get something to eat.”

Sigurdson’s ice-rink photo wins ‘I love Sartell’ contest by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com

Chris Sigurdson is not a professional photographer and has never won any photo contests – that is, until recently when his "The Giving Rink" photo entry won him top prize in the "I Love Sartell" photo contest. The contest was sponsored by the City of Sartell. He said winning the contest was quite a surprise and a nice recognition, but he felt there were many other very nice photos of how people love the city. Sigurdson, 48, said others had viewed his photo and encouraged him to enter the contest. The winning photo is a picture of the ice rink in Sigurdson's family's backyard. More than 100 children and parents have had many hours of enjoyment on or near that rink. "There is a lot of meaning to us and them, watching the kids in uninterrupted play simply enjoying the outdoors and the game of hockey," Sigurdson said. "The photo was simply a picture after the children had all left and I had just cleaned and flooded the rink. Everything came together and I looked out and thought it was really a spectacular view and clicked a few photos." Sigurdson has never entered any photo contests before and described himself as an amateur photographer at best. Throughout his life experiences and travels, he has taken many photos so it's somewhat of a

hobby for him. He said there are many positive things about Sartell, and he felt it was a good idea for people to share their varying perspectives about how they see the city through a camera lens of why it's a great place for them and their families. Nate Keller, community development technician for Sartell, said the contest was held to build support and awareness and to instill pride in the area. The theme of the contest was "Why do you love Sartell?" Seven judges scored and ranked the 10 photos that were chosen as finalists. Contest organizers also took an area poll for two weeks in which residents could vote on which photo they felt showed the best representation of the city. Keller said they received 765 votes for that poll. For winning the contest, Sigurdson won a $250 prize package. Sigurdson is general manager/executive vice president of a cattle genetic cooperative. He is married to Kristen, a foot-andankle surgeon at St. Cloud Orthopedics. They have lived in Sartell for almost nine years and have four sons – Colten, Talon, Quentin and Easton. The boys all play hockey in Sartell and with a variety of other teams. Their children started skating when they were between 2 and 3 years old. The three oldest children started skating before the family moved to Sartell. Sigurdson said even though it takes an awful lot of work and time, it's that

"I'm pretty confident if you ask them when they enjoy it the most, it's outside on the ponds and rinks outside in Sartell just being kids and spending time with each other and friends," Sigurdson said. He added it takes quite a "hockey mom" to help make all of the hockey activities happen.

The boys also participate in other activities such as skiing, golf, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, football, tennis, shooting sports, Boy Scouts, 4-H, church youth group, hunting, fishing and more. "We enjoy Sartell because it's a growing, thriving community that's a good fit for our family," Sigurdson said. The Sigurdsons came to Sartell Sigurdson • page 7

Our View

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.

Dennis Dalman Editor Tsk, tsk. 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-andfair 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

Letters to the editor:

Wedding dreams come true 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.

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 lawn-mowing 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 nonproblem 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 socalled Integrity Commission).

Thank you for ‘Sartell Stories’ Maggie Kraemer Senior Connection board member The Sartell Senior Connection would like to acknowledge individuals who helped create the initial segments of a video series entitled Sartell Stories. People involved in the project include 2017 Sartell High School graduate Cami Doman as the producer, Sartell High School Technology Teacher Joe Schulte as the director and a host of area residents who shared their personal experiences. Using archival footage, photographs and interviews with local residents, Doman created three two- to three-minute videos entitled “The River,” “The School District” and “The East Side.” People who shared their memories include Rita Fasen, Jan Sorell, Pat Salzer, Jan Bettenberg, Anita Archambeau, Neal Pearson, Larry “Happy” Traut, Bill Galarneault, Jim DeZurik, Bill Smoley, Jim Hughes, Ken Schulte, Bob Pogatshnik, Steve Feneis, Rollie Weis, Jack McCann and Jeff Sartell. Thank you to everyone involved in the production of the first three segments of Sartell Stories.

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!

Sigurdson from page 5 for Chris' employment after a new friend recommended they consider it. They consider the publicschool system to be tremendous and it's the number-one reason the family lives where they do. They also appreciate the growing and thriving youth hockey association and the close proximity to both their work places. The rink in the photo Sigurdson submitted the family built two years ago to make the sport of hockey more accessible to their children and their friends. Having it in their backyard allows Sigurdson to use the time he has available in early

Project from front page Street N., near where Celebration Lutheran Church is located, all the way north to 35th Street N. From 15th to 27th Street there will be a three-lane bitu-

mornings and late evenings to do the necessary work to maintain the rink. The Sigurdson children and friends use the rink several times a week, skating for hours, when the weather is cooperating. Sigurdson noted for Sartell hockey players to be able to keep pace with their peers around the state, they need to put in many hours of ice time. Sigurdson's 8-year old son, Easton, skated on their outside rink more than 70 hours with his friends or other players last winter, in addition to being in the Sartell Youth Hockey Association. Sigurdson said Sartell is really starting to emerge as a "hockey town." As interest and dollars come to the city because of the Bernick's Ice Arena, more ice time will be needed to

meet the growing needs of the more than 200 families, extended families and friends connected to Sartell hockey. Keller said the city staff members hope to sponsor the contest again next year. Sigurdson said he is simply a dad who likes to take a lot of photos. He added that getting a really good one involves taking enough so one might develop that captures even more than contributedphoto the photographer Chris Sigurdson’s children play hockey in Sartell and include (left to right) imagined when Quentin, Colten, Easton and Talon.

hours, and vehicles will have to slow down to negotiate the roundabouts. Halter noted the roundabouts had to be made a bit wider because farmers in that area expressed concerns about maneuvering around them with their larger field equipment. Halter said the design process and other preparations will

continue through the summer and into the fall, with construction slated to begin in June 2018. The school will open in late fall of 2019. Halter said throughout the design process, SEH will be in contact with the 23 residents who live along or near the construction project to inform them and to listen to their concerns.
